The radical canard, started by tl • Indianapolis Journal with a view t'j divert attention from the negro exodus infamy, has fallen with its own weight The great and lamented Douglas when living denounced John A. Logan, of Illinois, ns n “DiifyDog.”— Logan and his stripe are endoavoring to thwart justice and right in the case of Gen. Fitz John Porter, who was recently declared by a competent board of officer# innocent of the charges of which lie was found guilty by a military court organized to convict.
A Miss Raymond, at the instigation of certain radicals, instituted suit aminst U. 8. Senator Wen. Iliil, of Georgia, for seduction, but a few day® since withdrew tho charge and e.\p j.scd the scheme. Notwithstanding this the radical organs make greater mol more persistent efforts to impose upon the intelligence of their readers by sticking to the falsehood.ajjd with - holding the t\ ut!i. hoy.

The radical Journal of that city hastened to correct the report with the statement, that but 8 permits were obtained therefore that was the actual number, and the smaller radical organs over -ho State, including the Rensselaer Republican, greedily picks up the key-nptg, and yelps to the same tone.

Mr. Thoqias P. Milis. a prominent anil active radif.il ( of answered the questions of Mr. Voor-‘ l|CPs before tiie exodus committee, as follows : Q.—You have been in favor of eraigraticu? A.—Yes, sir. I was v?ry much in favor of it. I told tho 1 oys when they first came there that we wanted 20,000 “ Bucks,” Buck Nigoeks, in Indiana this yeak. Q,—You moan to say that you wanted 20.009 men? Yes. sir. Q,—You had no use for women? A. No, s'r. We had no special use for them. Q. -You had no idea of labob conneeted with this matter? A.—No, sir. I had no idee of labor. I was losing for VOTES. Q.—You wanted these 20.000“ bucks” t) vote? A.—l wanted tficm so vote, of course. Q.- Ark You a Kekblfjan? A. - Yes, sir, I am. '■Q?— And you thought if you could get 20,000 “bucks ’you would slay us? A. I thought we would gist away avith YOU EVERLASTINGLY. ‘Q.—ifave you mixed with them much sinee thoy canto here? A.— T,he colored folk 9? ‘Q. Yes. A.—No, sir, except at the depot. We have one office near the depot, and when a gang was coming in I would go down there and see Q.—Have they cqme in as. as you desired? A—T ( hey, have not cqpie ip as I wanted, tjiqm,to, Q. —There have rather more women and children wanted? A.—Yes. sir; tl)ey-t}pve rather overdone the t)3ing in the women and children. Q. -I want to a%k you whether the Republjcap. party, or leading RepubIjcans, have anything to do with the uipvenaeat? I will put in a different way—whether these views of yours which you have given to the committee very frankly, are shared in by the intelligent Republicans in your State? A. I think they are as individuals.
Q. —"Sou had no use for women?— A.-*-No, air, we had no special use for women. Q. —There have been rather more women and children than you wanted? A.—Yes, sir; they have rather overdone the thing in the women and children.—Thomas P, Miffs’ Exodus Testimony. If there la a white naan or or a black man in Indiana who can read such testimony a e the foaegoing and not feel un intense indignation toward the Republican leaders, black and white, who, to gain a few votes were willing to persuade'‘buck niggers, ”as Mr. Mills calls male negroes, to leave their wives and children and immigrate to Indiana to vote the Republican ticket, then it may be set down ns a fact that they are lost to all sense of humanity, and are willing to treat “buck niggers” as they would treat swine or wules or any other domestic
brute. Why such uu idea should take possession of the minds of Republican lenders, it is difficult to conceive. We hesitate to charge them with the oxecrabie purpose of mixing in a foul apd filthy embrace the black blood of North Carolina, “buck niggers,” with tips white blood of Indianu women.— And still it is on record that the e Republican leaders did want the “20,000 bin kn g r.” to Ic.vj their women and children behind them, and the Journal did publish to the woild lha ' N IBODY’S DAUGHTERS demand WHITE HUSBANDS or none, except those of DEMOCRATS.” The inference from the whole affair is any tiling but eredifubl. to the Republican party. The record the Republican leaders hare made is in all regauls such that decent people, no matter what may bo their political associations, will denounce it us it de serves.—lndianapolis Sentinel. .

Dwiggins, M» F. Chilcote and Daniel B. Miller, for. the ens-uing year, Mr. Dwiggins bid at $l5O per year; Mr. Chilcote proposed to render the same service for $l2O and Mr. Miller offered to do the same work for SBO, and in addition to procure tho assistance of another attorney, at his own expense, at any time the Board might think it necessaey, which wa s certainly a fair and safe proposition, but the honorable Board struck an average, and awarded the contract to Mr. Chillcote. Mr. C. will no doubt make an acceptable county attorney, hut when the honorable Board received sealed bids it was bound by all usages to have awarded the contract to the lowest bidder.

Delphi Time*. The rumors which during the pas\ two weeks have been rustling about like leaves before an October breeze have crystallized into tangible shape. On the 27th of February a contract wjts signed by S N. Yeoman Jreprei seming the* Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago railroad, and P. M. Kent, President, and W. A. Statin, Secretary of the Chicago and Western Itidiana railway, by which all the rights, privileges, franchises and property cf the former o.g mization. except Unrolling stock ni subsidies earn , dard ut»i paid, are transferred to th r latter. 1 h new company takes the name of the Chicago and Indianapolis Air Line, and the formal transfer will be made on the 18th inst., each party talk© eon - tract being allowed twenty days in which to perfect arrange i&eots. The first movement of the new management will be the change of the line hence to to a standard gauge, whiph, will be done us soon after the let of Apiil as possible. Work will bp, ajk once pushed forward on the Unit which will connect Rensselaer with, Dalton, Illinois, and much of the grading being already completed, it is confidently expected that the road will be opened through to Chicago by the beginning of August. E. W. Hu .- bard, Esq,,President ot the Ciiizeno’ Bank of this city, acts as trustee for the two companies, for the reception abd custody of the securities. The legal matters connected with tbo transfer hvae been conducted by Harry Crawford, Esq., the eminent rail road attorney of Chicago. For the present Colonel Yeoman will remain in authority, with his headquarters in. this city. By this change, the prospects of the line from Indianapolis to Chicago have been materially brightened, and there is no langei any doubt concerning the prompt completion of the road. The ‘'lndianapolis and China go Air Liue Railroad Company” is composed of some of the wealthiest and most enterprising capitalists of Chicago. They have already com- : plotcd and in operation n road from Chicago to 1 Uilton, a distune© of about l weary miles, and aio tu possession of an entrance 10 the city of Chicago, which latter of itself is worth not less than $2,000,000. In fact, the rig it of way into that city composes a franchise almost impossible to obtain. At present there is not one of the several lines from the Indiana capital to Chicago which passes over its own track into the latter city.' All must and do pay a heavy sum annually 10 roads which own the right of way into tiie Illinois metropolis. The new road will be the proprietor of every foot of track betwean the two cities, an advantage which will be apparent at a glance. The Indianapolis and Chicago will be an exact air line, ami about thirty mites shorter than any other. Any person having the curiosity to piovc this assertion can do so by placing a rule on the map. It will then be seen that the straight line will cross the Wabash road netvveen Delphi and Colburn, a distance of perhaps three miles west of this city, and at no point will the route of the new road deflect more tiiau five miles from the direct line.
It is more than probable that with in a shop time the new company will secure control of the proposed road from here to Indianapolis, and being possessed of boundless energy and almost unlimited resources, will push the work forward to an early completion. liy the beginning of the year 1881 it Is confidently expected that the entire lino from Indianapolis to Chicago wilt be completed and thoroughly equipped ready to compete for the local and through traffic. The former will, for the reason that the road-passes through the ver y best section of the State, be considerable, and its advantages as a through line, when it is considered that if. is shorter by thirty miles than any competing route, and owns every mile of track used, can not be over-estimated. The effect which the change will have upon the interests of Delphi is naturally tin-first point to be considered, The L, D. &C. Company- had an agreement to locate the shops of the road at this place, but it Was really of no binding force,as there was no security for its fulfillment given. The Times is of the opinion—and the view is shared by citizens whose judgment is valuable—that the shops of the new road will be located in Delphi. Our city- is as near as may bo ha*' way between Indianapolis and Cb* ca * go*, being, as a matter of fact, Fatten miles south erf the central rm ' ln i While Delphi is thus m> r the graphical center it isdi^ jctly n he center of the commercial businea3 and population of the hr. of the roaa . It vfil thus natural! f f orm t be termini of the two divj. sions of which win compose the ro ad) aud wiU appear ac once as the proper location for the shops and of the road. Tho J a ? tages t 0 che city of Delphi by 0 ‘ g au ge the passage of th ! road j n to the hands of a eomP tin Y P ro Vlde‘d with abundant resources will p rove almost incalculable.— ine natural resources of Carroll ® ou ’jty are yet largely undeveloped. the past we have been made to pay tribute to one line of road, and hundreds of our citizens can testify that the tribute has been exacted to the uttermost farthing. One of our most productive industries, that of lime, has been almost wholly stagnated by the absence of competition in freights.— The possibilities of the lime trade of Delphi is really unlimited, and the opening up of such markets as Chicago and Indianapolis will infuse into it such life as even o jr most sanguinety progressive citizens have never dreamed of. The same will prove trtie of our other productions, such as grain, live stock, lumber, etc. From the moment the first train passes over a standard gauge road from Delphi to Indianapolis or Chicago our city and county will feel the effects of the in fusion of new life, and our people will thank that good angel which led them to lend their influence and material aid to the Indianapolis and Chicago railroad.

As in ’ft) so in "80 Indiana will be called upon t» take a lirst position in the front of the great contest, and upon the success or failure of the great and gallant Democracy of our State will depend the fate of issues the most portentous ever submitted to the arbitrament ol a tree people. We shall also specially call attention, from day to day, as occasion may require, to an entirely New I'hase in the politics of our State—we mean the forced emigration for temporary partizan purposes of pauper negroes from the South into Indiana. The managers and leaders of the Republican party, in our State and at Washington, are now engaged in this nefarious work, and are attempting liy every means in their power to promote its advancement. They have failed, utterly failed to convince our people of the correctness of their political principles, by reason or argument; their appeals to hatred and prejudice have fallen harmless: their lavish and corrupt expenditures of public and private moneys have proved wholly futile. They propose now by an African invasion of worse than a vandal horde of beggars and mendicants to override the voice of the people of the State, and to drown the Democratic majority. The last resort, the forlorn hope, the assaulting party, the picket assaulting corps of Republicanism in Indiana is thus mane up—not from the Hunters, Harrisons, Heilmans, or Shacklefords of the State; not from the intelligence or ability of that party, but is composed of a motley, parti colored jjung wretched field negroes from the South. The froth and scum of this worthless importation are made use of to destroy the free franchise of resident citizens, and to tax our means of home labor and domestic subsistence for the support of the political tenets of a defeated taction. The sleepless Sentinel, upon the heights of popular rights and popular liberty, predicts that this movement will also be a failure. With respect to this before unheard of method of manufacturingjjartv majorities in a State, wo shall at all times ivethe latest and most reliable intelligence. The American Democracy, the Federal union, the rights of a tePeople and the States, one and inseparable—now and forever. The merits of The Sentinel as a genetal newspaper are so well known nmong tne farmers of this State, especially those of the Democratic persuasion, that commendation of it is considered superfluous We will add, however, that the man agement has arranged and fully determined that no paper shall furnish so great practical value to its Dairons for the money. In its news, its editorial, its literary and miscellany—in a word, in Its general reading it shall not be surpassed by any papercirculated in the State. It will be particularly adapted to the family circle. We do not believe that any reading, thinking man in the Stato can afford to do without the Weekly Sentinel at the small cost at which it Is furnished.
