Secretary of State Griffin exhibits more of his smartness and superior qualifications by omitting from his publication of the acts of the legislature a report of the receipts •’nd expenditures of the State Tieasurer a.*, requi by the constitution. A new edition of the acts will have to be printed as a consequence of this oversight of the republican secretary.

Although the Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee was a member of the Senate Investigating Committee that made the report "üb'is’ted in our columns the la t two weeks, our old friend Huff,‘of the Monticello Herald, don’t like it. Verily, our radical brethren are hard to please.

Secretary of State Griffin ought to resign, after his repeated failures to accomplish his purposes in the interest of his party The republication of the acts of the leg.» islature, nir.-.’e nec< s ary by the inefficiency or the knavery of Griffin, will cost’.lie State a considerable amount of money. We fear Robertson, Sayre and Griffin will slip upon their gubernatorial aspirations. Unveiling of the Colfax Mon-ument.-The imposing ceremony of the unveiling of the monument erected to the memory of Schuyler Colfax in University Park, Indianapolis, Ind., takes place in that city May 18, 1887. The forenoon will be devoted to the reception in lomlinson Hall, of visiting societies, including encampments, cantons, and Rebekah Degree Lodges of I. O. J. F. in the United States and Canada. In the afternoon a grand parade ar.d inarch via prominent thoroughfares to the Park, here the monument will be unveiled by the of Rebekah. The Monon Route, L., N. A. & C. Ry., will sell excursion tic ets to Indianapolis to those desiring to attend the ceremonv, at the rate of one fare for the round trip, tickets good going on evening trains on May 17th, and all regular trains on the 18th, good returning May 19th, inclusive. These tickets will be on sale at Michigan City, Hammond, and intermediate stations. The rffair will be attended by delegations from all points in the United States and Canada.

The “Period oi Terror” in Chicago, as narrated in another part of to-day’s Sentinel, is simply a. history of the terrorism e istingover the who’e country during the period referred to. Irresponsible provost marshals, their so-called detectives and hirelings were to be found in every city, village and hamlet in this broad land. Enterprising, intelligent, patriotic and Christian citizens, weie harrassed and mistreated because they doubt<l the wisdom of many of the polcies of the administration. They believed, and had the courage to express their belief, that many of the measures adopted for the sup pression of the rebellion, were cal. culated rather to prolong, embitter and render unc rtain the outcome of the contest. They believed, and the conduct and declarations of many of the Republican leader s confirmed them in the belief, that plunder and perpetuity in power was more ardently desired by them than a restcr«d Union.

1876.

Lafayette Journal: Samuel J. Tilden, Thomas A. Hendricks and William A. Wheeler have gone to join the “s.lent majority.” Rutheiford B. Hayes is still in the land of the living. The relation of the above named distinguished characters to the presidential election of 1876 is well known to the American people. The result of that presidential election was never very satisfactory to the people of th.. United States. True it is that Hayes and Wheeler were declared >x> be the President and Vice President, and served as such. But the Democratic paity and a large conservative element outside of it, have always doubted whether or not these gentlemen were elected, lhere was some very peculiar and unusual manipulations of the b Hots in Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina by the Returning Bot rd in that eventful year. But the matter was settled after a fashion by a “Joint High Commission,” and the American people amid much excitement, subsid <1 and accepted the resul + , and the difficulties as solves took their place in the recorded history of the country. There the matter has rested ever since wi+h only occasional reference to it in the heat of political campaigns. And there it nrght have rested forever h_x.il it not been for some acts of bad faith and base ingratitude.

As it is it seems that another chapter, and one that may throw much light on the long drawn out dispute, is about to be added as an appendix to 1876. The president of the Louisiana Pieturning Boa d was one Wails—who is known in history as “Hayes’ Friend.” On the 3d inst. Mr. Wells went to New York to enter suit ag inst one A. 8. Badger. That suit promises to bring out all the secrets of the famous tribunal which overturned electors and made Presidents and Governors. The New York Sun says:

‘ Wells is very mad and promises ’to give the whole thing away. His complaint is that in return for his good work in counting in the Republicans it was agreed through the advice and intervention of Governor Kellogg, that Badger, vho then held the lucrative office of tax collector, worth $50,000 a year, should sign a contra-1 agreeing to divide the feds with Wells. Notwithstanding his contract Wells asserts that Badger refused to divide tbc- money with him, ccnq elHng him, after various efforts to £et it amicably to I ring this suit. In support of his claim he shows a copy of the cont act drawn in duplicate and signed by Badger and himself, in whiefi the forme)' agrees togiv him one-half of the Loneys realized as commissioner, as well as one-hali of all the profits made by purchasing State warrants and paying them into the treasury as taxes. Badger further binds himself to run the office as cheaply as possible, so as to divide a larger sAim between them. Wells says that when it became important to count i. Hayes Kellogg tried to get him ousted from his position as president of the Returning

Board, but he refused to resign.— In an interview with him on the subject of the count Governor Kellogg sail’: ‘T admire your grit, old fellow; .you certainly deserve political favor, and I intend to appoint ou, if you will accept it, tax collector.” ells says that when the time arrived for the distribution of State appointments, however, Kellogg told him that he did not know vvhabto do with Badger, who was then the in urn bent of the Fourth .1 istrict tax collectorship. .A proposition was finally made to Wells io the effect that he would surrender to Badger the appointment of tax collector of the Fourth District, provided Kellogg would draw up an instrument of agreement between Badger and Wells by which the latter was to receive one-half of thh profits of that office. These profits were to cover the purchases of warrants, th* collection of taxes, and any and all moneys realized from the office and all p rquisit s. Kellogg advised this, Wells says, and Badger accepted the proposit'on and signed the agreement. Afterward, when the Morrison committee began investigating the presidential electidn, Badger told Wei’s to destroy the contract lest if might " t lorn into trouble, pi vucudud t? do a.*, .mJ

swore before the committee that he had no interest in the election. — Only a few weeks ago he informed Badger that the contract was still in existence and demanded a settlement, winch was refused. “I believe,” said Wells, “that if I had faltered or swerved for a women* from my position as president of the Returning 80. rd Tilden would have unquestionably been the next president of the United States.” — General Badger denies the story, but the signature to the contract is his.
