” The New York Sun says thatj “The republican party seems bound to perpetuate the memory of the great fraud by which the people Unit ed States were deprived of the President whom they had chosen and had thrust upon them one whom they had rejected at the polls. President Arthur is a well meaning mao, no doubt, notwithstanding the eulogy on “soap” which he delivered in this city a few months ago, and yet when he is looking around for the cuief officer of his cabinet, he selected for secretary of etuteone of the most conspicuous promoters and members of the electoral commission, As long as the republican party is permitted to live It will bo impossible for it to escape the odium and the consequences of the aot by which Fraud first became triumphant iu American history.” Conspicuous among the members of the new Kentucky legislature is Hon. David Merriweather, who was a senator in congress in 1862 and governor of New Mexico during Pierce’s administration. He also served many years in the state legislature, and was twice speaker of the house.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.

Correspondence of the Sentinel.’ Wabhimston, Dec. 23,1881. My pen has been long idle in your service, because, with the telegraph plying its vocation to the uttermost oarta of the earth, and the daily press oatebing up and forestalling everything that would otherwise be fresh and new to a weekly journal, it seems a kind of supernumerary labor to in dite a letter that at the best may contain iterated and reiterated news befoi© it can see tee light in your columns. Nevertheless I venture once more to tread this overworked field. , Did you ever know an administra tion which went straightforward to its ends and aims more direct than the one now executing the powers of the government as the “fruit of assassination ?” Pres’t Arthur moves slowly but steadily to the goal he is aiming for. tne rehabilitation of the Heal wart, or dirty end of the republican wasp, in the ascendancy.; And had ever another man a larger opportunity, or greater temptation to get back upon tae men who humiliated him? How admirab y he has kept his own counsels, and how uni forrnly, in his weeding out process, do the Garfield plants bow to his inexorable axe, and submit to be thrown over the fence of the republican garden amoDg the refuse, as the despised and rejected of the aspirants to imperial methods. And it must be admitted that the President is emoloyirg agents of larger mental calibre, as a rule, than his immediate predecessor, while making sure of the Stal wart status of those he selects to do the work. How short lived was the reign of liberal or independent re publicanism, so-called, and how hu miliated now. One by one the old regime are coming to the front, and die half-breeds” are already licking the hand that smites them—the hand which but yesterday they paused not to 3purn and turn from with contempt and;ioathing. O tempora! O mokes! How long will this calm last be tween the factions of the repulican party? Until the official spoils are dispensed. There’s no such sedative to republican heat and passion as the hope that some of the substantials will fall in their way. When Jhe places are all filled, and the last crumb from the government table given out then the howl may begin, if the halfbreeds are not already crushed beyond the possibility of a besubgam.— I have no more sympathy for the half breeds than confidence in the stalwarts. Why should I, or anybody who has at all made himself familiar with tne equally tortuous history of both ? The Indecent haste, and without provocation, with which the de capitation of special stalwart heads was undertaken under the brief Garfield reign justifies the “retort «ouiteous,” and betrayed a weakness that would have marked the whole term if there bad been no Guiteau. It is no disrespect to the memory of the late President, who was all that|is claimed for him socially and mentally and all that, to say that his election to the Presidency was a sad misfortune to him and his friends. JJe was not fitted for executive place, and in it he would have been but the football of the cunning and maladroit chief of his staff. All this is fully exemplified in his public career, in which be was constantly looking or talking oneway and rowing another, “is speeches and votes rarely con sieted. It was in debate as in sooial life he excelled, but he seldom had the courage of his expressed convictions; and when It was possible took an indirect route te reach his desti nation. Arthur is just the reverse, and those who “stand and wait” with a hope that he will let up or relent towards his old enemies will not be kept long in suspense, ir indeed any such remaio. I*® believes in Grant and Cockling; tneir methods and ways and his are in entire aooord, and he will dally only so long as his and their convenience and the proprieties of the peculiar agency may seem to demand before taking definitive action. This is already so unmistakeably foreshadowed the wonder is that anvbody can see him otherwise. will te President in all that term implies. “e will invite and take counsel, but not with or from your Shermans and Fosters, and men of their ilk. I think I must quit here. Some that I have written may grate harsh ly on unreflecting minds, and it will be said, probably, that your corree£ondent shows exceedingly bad taste x bis comparison of the dead with

the living. It will not be said that my diagnosis is wrong—at least by any one* 4 fully Informed and intelligent enough to comprehend. “•

1881. 1881. The Indiana WEEKLY SENTINEL Has been enlarged and improved until it is now the Largest uud the Veiiy Best paper published in the West. The Weekly Sentinel is in all regards a superior eight page 56 column paper. The merits of the Sentinel as a general newspaper are so well known, that commendation of it is superfluous. We will add, however, that the management has arranged and fully determined that no paper shall furnish so great practical v.*lue to its patrons for the nihney. In its news, its editorials, its literary, and miscellany—in a word, in its general reading -it shail not be surpassed by any paper circulated iu the State. It will be particularly adaptod to the family circle. No reading, thinking man in the State cau atford to do without the Weekly Sentinel at the small cost ut which it is furnished. Thb Sentinel will couliuue to be the same earnest advocate of true American Democracy in the future that it has been in the past; indeed, it proposes to battle more vigorously than ever agaiust the patty of centialization hud corruption.— Vast monopolies own and control the Republican party, and in the future, as in the past, it can not do otherwise than foster claSs legislation, thereby trampling upon the interests of the producing masses. The motto of the Sentinel is, ‘ Hold fast to the Democratic faith and buttle on,” and as certainly as God reigns vieory will ultimately be with the peopleThe Republican parly cin not survive its crimes. Its monumental iniquities cast their shadows alhwart the land. — Just men "of all political opinions are horrified at i s colossal crimes Its am bition is for plunder and Imperial power. Its downward progress, from the days when Grant’s thieves organized the Whisky Ring to raise a corruption fund, to Guiteau’s tragedy, has been marked by infamy at every step. From the days when John Sherman bartered Federal offices for perjuries to seat Hayes, crimes have followed each other in rapid succession. The flood-tide of thievery has flowed grandly. There have been otar Route thievpg, Treasury thieves, Navy Department thieves, War Department thieves, and Signal Service thieves, and Indiana has bad Dorsey, the notorious Star Route thief, and Secretary of the Republican in the State, organizing crime to carry the State against the will of the people. The Sentinel will invite the people of Indiana to contemplate these Republican methods to obtain and maintain power. It will keep its readers informed with regard to Republican fights for spoils, the mutual denunciations of its factions, their criminations and recriminations, their mutual hates which culminated m the assassination of the President, thereby capping the climax of horrors and completing the work of infamy, With this reeord of crime, the Republican party asks for a new lease of power, aud it will be the high ambition of the Sentinel to defeat its purposes and emancipate the country from its debauching grasp. The Sentinel, in addition to its superiority, is, moreover, an Indiana paper, devoted to and specially represents Indiana’s interests, political and otherwise, as no foreign paper can or will do, and ought, therefore to have preference over the papers of other States, and we ask Democrats to bear this in mind, and select Youb Own State Paper when you come to take subscriptions and make up clubs.
