Judge Harlan,of the Supreme Court is Co!lngersoll’s plumed knight now We are in receipt of vol-1, No. 1 of the Putman Democrat. It has the true Democratic ring, ably con>< ducted and we wish it abundant sues cess. MeClute’s desperate effort to get up a spilt in the Democratic party On the tariff question is an entire fail ure, Th» party was never more perfectly united for honesty, economy and low taxes. Spriugiiefd(Muss.)Union; At Boston, us welt us in several southern citieo, tne law prohibiting liquor sdS ing within a certain distance of any school house, is eliminating school houses instead of liquor shops. - The Pharos well says that a system of taxation that lakes the earnings of our citizens to build up the business of another is a vicious system. This is the object afid purpose of a high protectien tariff. Sunset Cox: “I maintain that protection cripples industry. It keeps genius ia its swaduling cloths. The Custem-house is a necessary evil. It is the frontier system affront and surrounds th a Nation with a cordon of robbers. ”

Gov- HendricKS and wife returned from Europe Wednesday la-t, and ware accorded a handsome reception by their fellow citieens autd neighbors in Indianapolis Among the i arly callers we notice the name of Judge Hammond of *ur town Mr. Speaker, tUo-time is not opportune to make clothing, already far too high, more expensive, if subsidies must be given to any in., dustry, take them out or y mr overflowing treasury, not out of your sufering poor.—[Huid's speech against L he wool tax. New Albany, April 14—Six new and flrst-cliss locomotives have been "purchased for the Air Line Railway* and will >e received here in a couple of weeks. This will help the road greatly, but it needs about twice that number of new engins and aoout 500 new freighdears. Our neighbor says the Sentinel has the gall to clai-: Messrs. Frank "Welsh and Jno It. as Demos cratic Trustees. Yes, devoted friend, and if it is gratifying to you we will retain that “gall.” The.‘taffy” given by the Republican :o the Greenbackers is disgusting to Beanie Har» Tison’s average “fiat idiot.”

Pittsburg. April 11—Fifteen hundred miners of th* Westmoreland and Pennsylvania gas-coal compam ies at Irwin’s station. Pa , ore out on a strike T cy are willing' to stand a reduction of t a cents per ton, but object to the one-fourth in’ch change ©f scr.en. which is equal to a cut of twenty per cent in wages And this is the way protective■ tariff “protects” labor Another strike is announced from the »oal regions «>f “ protected” Pennsylvania. Fifteen hundred miners are out of tho mines. They ar« threatened with a 20 per cent, cut on their wages. The poor fellows are willieg to stand a ten per cent, cut, but they think 20 is too much hence ■trike. This is in protection ridden Pennsylvania. — • Hon. James II Rice,'Auditor pt State, was in the city yesferday visiting relatives. He says the returns from the recent township elections in Indiana show Democratic gains. Fifty-three counties heard . from show a gain of thirty-three trustees. Mr. Rice will prepare a tabulated statement, showing the gains and losses-- New Albany eorresponden l Courier Journal.

The state legislature of Kentucky has made two valuable enactments. One provides tnat the keeping of anv gambling room, gaming table, or roulette wheel, or other gaming machine shall be a felony, punishable by conflnmentin the penitentiary for not ess than one year. That is going to be root of the matter in a style which rdiana would do well to imitate, he oiher prohibits the sale of the •dice Gazette and kindred publicaions. In resolute steps toward the or pernicious literature most of the southern states are exemplary.

COMMUNICATED

Mb Editor—Availing myself an invitation kindly extended to me from the Delegates to the annual session es the Grand Chanter of the Order of the Eastern Star (Masonic) to be held at Indianapolis April 9th and 10th. I, in company with Mr. M. F. Chilcote. Madames I C. Kelley and J. M Bopkins, who were delegates, and Mr. I. C. Kelley and Madames E. Purcupileand M. L. Spitler, members of the Grand Che ptsr. visited out State capital. The weather was not all that we might desire, yet the geniality of the company and other pleasing incidents conduced to make our trip ‘delightful. We found our State capital, as it always is, full of life and energy. The bard times may have effected some individuals, fcut altogether the city is prosperous and business generally lively. We were informed by one who has opportunity of knowing that over 2800 new houses will e erected in the city during the coming summer. One desirable feu tore among business men in Indianapolis is that they have plenty of money, and use it freely in fostering any worthy enteryriso or new indusiry mat is likely to bring wealth and business. The session of the Grand Chapter was called to order at 10 o’clock. Wednesday morning by Mrs. Nettie Rausford, Worthy Grand Matron of

tue Order tn Indiana. She is a noble woman and disposed of the business of the session with harmony and dispatch. The entire session was a sue cess, and the business conducted in such a manner as many older deliberative bodies might pattern after.— Delegates and visiting members were pi esent from nearly every s hordin', ate Chapter in the State. The Order seems to be in a flourishing condition and doing a good work ge..etally.— Surely woman can do a deal of good in the world wh»n occasion and opportunity offer; and many seem de termined to make tne opportunity I should not be surprised to hear from them in the coining elections. At the election of officers for the ensning year it was the pleasure of the Grand body to advance to the position of Worthy Grand Matron our sister M. E. Spitler—a position of which she might justly be proud, as the highest honor which tne Order could confer on her. She, with the other Grand officers, was in proper time duly installed into her office, and Suring the close of tne session swayed tho “Gavel” with ease and dignity. Outside of the sittings of the Grand Chapter we devoted our time to sightseeing and visiting old friends and acquaintances, and we found several from Jasper, among them allow us to note the family of Bro, I M. £tae - house. Five or six of us had the pleasure of taking tea with them, and had a very delightful time talking over the times of the past, the scenes of the present and hopes of the future. Among others we met Prof. Hooper and lady, and with them hud a delightful time. They are pleasantly situated in a very delightful part of the city, snd ssemed well pleased with their life at the Capital. They do not fail however to remember their Rensselaer friends, and their residence among us. May their rupture be as blight as they anticipated. On out return home we passed several hours in our neighboring cuy Lafayette, and did not regret the de« lay, us it gave us an opportunity to shake aands an . speak I’aoe to face with those we kaew and honored in our boyhood days. Altogether, we had a delightful end pleas nt time, and we all voted—- “ Glad We Went.”

The following letter from ex Governor Newell, of New Jersey, who was the intimate friend of Mr, Lincoln. and is now Governor of Washington Territory and a staunch Repubhcao, completely dispels all the fiction-about what Mr. Lincoln had done, or would ha e dene, or would do if ho were alive in regard to the Fitz Jahn Porter affair. This letter presents Mr. Lincolnia his true light, and not in that false positioa, and with that ’dndictive spirit in which the organs of partisaa passion have pictured him. No enemy of Fitz J«hn Porter, after reading hisTpttar, can claim that the action of Congress in passing the bill, or of the President in ipproving it, will be a reflectioa upon Mr. Lincoln’s reouta tion,. Hero is the letter: Allentown. N. J., March 11.1870. To His Excellency, Governor Randolph: My Dear Bib:—At a period near the close of the war, the precise dace of which I do not remember, upon the sstiaita Icn of yourse'f and other prominent citizens of New Jersey, who oonaidered that great injustice had been dene to Geaerul Fitz John Porter by the finding of the court martial, I had several conversation s with President Lincoln respecting the case, with the view of procuring a new hearing and looking to the re •toratlon of the Officer. The President was much interest ed and said cheerfully that he would gladly grant a reop- 1A g if any now evidence exculpatory of .Genfertd Porter could be adduced. He said that he had entertained a very high opinion of his bravery and fidelity; that for the credit of the army as well as for the sake of that officer himself he would by no means object to having theJ matter leopened, and hoped he woulu be proved innocent; , that he had uo prejudice, but had boon obliged co form his “opinion from Judge Holt’s examination, as in his multitude of cares he had not been able to make a personal investigation. Th impression upon my

kmb< Horn several ••overeations with Mr. Liftcoin was that ha » as inclined to the belief that General Porter was a victim of cireumsiaeces and of prejudice, and that he did not fully participate ia tho judgment of the court martial; that as the war was about over and many brave officer considered the sentence un* just, and as no further example was necessary for the discipline of the army be was dispose 1 to ignore th° whole proceedings, and to have Gen. PorterpieeMabiished in his place and rank. Indeed.it is my belief that, had be lived, each would have been his action, notwithstanding the feeling against the General at the war Depaumeut. I am, sir, very truly and rcspectlaily, your friend.
