IT is rumored that Gov. Williams will pardon Joseph W. Wade for committing murder, and will lmvc him hung during dog days for writing that poetry in the Indianapolis jail.

THE Indies are heaping blessings on Dr. Tanner. He said to thre« female visitors the other day, "that no parson should eat more than two meals a day." "Women," said lie "would then have one third more time for intellectual enjoyment. I have ahvays noticed that women take too much care to please the stomachs of men."

THE Democratic party is trying to get up a "'ik'diyrct" for the leader of its corrupt principles, and in doing so come within about a half century of raking up a rela tlonship with the "old Hancock" of Revolutionary fame. Fifty years is nothing, gentlemen and to fill up the intoning link, we would refer you to Major Carter, o* Brazil, who has upon paper the materia you so nuicli need.* See Major Carter.

To be sure this Democratic counting, But when the result of the November election 1# announced, it will lie found that New York. Indiana, and New Jersey will have gfven Oen. .Garfield a handsome majority.

Stakuo

those three States

will then change their complexion about 59 votes, and, leaving the doubtful states am our exchange has them. Gen, Garfield will then have SIS out ©f the total uund»eHf electoral votes.

THE'testimony of the "Big Four" from Vigo County before the Exodus Committee shows just how mach they know about affairs in Indiana. In the report and testimony of the Select Committee of the United States Senate, printed by authority, wc find this: "Albert J. Kelly sworn and examined:

Question—Where do you reside Answer—Terre Haute. Ql—What is your profession A.—Practicing law. Q.—How long have you been a practic ing lawyer

A-—I was admitted to the bar in 1869, and have been practicing for ten years. Q.—State what official position you hold at this time in Indiana.

A.—I am prosecuting attorney. Q.—State how long you have been in that position

A.—Nearly six years.

Q.—State what the penalty is in Indiana for felonies A.—For petit lareeny it is fifteen yearn. It wed to be five, but it has been enlarged sine* that time."

The law defining petit larceny and pre scribing its penally is as follows: SEC. 20. Every person who shall feloniously steal, take and carry, lead or drive away, the personal goods of another, of the value of any sum less than fifte dollars shall be deemed guilty of petit larceny, and upon conviction therefor shall be fined not exceeding five hundred dollars, be imprisoned in the State prison not less than ne nor more than thru years, and disfranchised, &c.—Acts 1877, p. 63.

If Mr. Kelly had taken a second thought, perhaps he would have studied bis law more carefully, and not have put in so much time arranging matters to tes tify before the committee.

But taken altogether we think the testi mony of these gentlemen was not worth more than four hundred dollars to the "select committee," and perhaps did the Republican party some good.

TIIE wires tell us "that Secrerary of the Navy Thompson in a political speech at Denver the other day, intimated that while General Hancock is a great soldier, he was in his (Mr. Thompson's) opinion no statesman." All right. This is a free country in which every man has the right to express liis opinion.' But will anybody tell us what Secretary of the Navy Thompson's opinion is worth? Not much we opine, as he was one of those blessed narrow minded old "Know-Nothings." —pft ran nah Nem.

The Savannah JShos does not know Secretary Thompson so well as the Terre Haute NKWS. Secretary Thompson the "silver tongued Orator" is acknowledged to be the best statesman in the North West, and as to knowledge of public men he stands without a peer, When he stated that Hancock, is in his opinion was no statesman. He stated an opinion bi^ed upon his own knowledge of him, and the knowledge of thousands of men wjio are intimately acquainted with Han cock.

Reasoning Power of Birds. May I tell you a few facts, to prove that birdfl can be, like their human friends, both reasonable and unreasonable. 1 S'vera 1 years ago a pair of my canaries built a nest. Wliue the hen was sitting, the weather became intensely hot. After a time she began to droop and I feared she would not be strong enough to hatch tho eggs. I watched the birds closely, and soon found that the cock was a devoted nurse. He bathed in fresh cold water I supplied every morning, then went to the edge of the nest, and the hen buried her head in his breast and was refreshed. Without hands and without a sponge, what more could he have done? 2. The following spring tho saniebird was hang* ing in a window with three other canaries, each in a separate cage. I was sitting in the room, and heard my little favorite give a peculiar cry. I looked up, and saw all the birds crouched on their perches, paralyzed with fright. On going to the window to ascertain the cause of their terror, I saw a large balloon passing over the end of the street, The balloon was 'only within sight of the bird who gsive tho alarm, and I have no doubt he mistook it for a bird of prey. The birds did not move until it was out of sight, when they all gave a chirp of relief. 1 havo a green and yellow qinary hanging side by side. They are treated exactly alike, and are warm friends. One has often refused to partake of some delicacy till the other was supplied with it. Due day I had five blossoms of dandelion I gave three to the green bird and two to the yellow one* The latter flew around his cage, singing in a shrill voice, and showed unmistakable sipiis of anger. Guessing the cause, I took aw'ay one of the three flowers, when both settled down quietly to enjoy their feast.

RBABOXARUC ECONOMY.—We do not like stinginess. We do not like economy when it comos down to rags and starvation. We have no sympathy with the notion that the poor "man should hitch himself to a post and stand still while the rest of the world moves fbwnrd. It is no man's duty to deny hunsclfevery amusement, every luxury, every recreation, eVery comfort, that he may get rich. It is no mau's duty to become an iceberg, to shnt his eyee and ears to Use sufferings of his fellows, and deny himself the enjoyment that results from generous actions, merely that ho may hoard wealth for his heirs to quarrel about. But there is an economy which is especially commenduble in the »utn who struggles with poverty—an economy which inconsistent

with hanpiness, and trhieh must be pi Used if the {)00r man would secure ic pendence.

Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, July 23.

Editor Dally Nevrg The rebels are on their "lionnah, sar," this campaign. No Union soldier or deputy marshal will interfere with, or prevent Southern bulldozers from breaking up Republican gatherings, or intimidating voters. Already the mutterfngs of the on-coming reign of terror are heard in the breaking up of Garfield ratification meetings, in various places in the South. At Hyattsville, Md., not six miles from the Capital, nt a Garfield and Arthur poleraising, the same disturbing spirit was manifest on the part of the Hancoek De mocracy Free speech and free ballot would be death to all hopes of Democratic success. Advices from Southern States assure the committee that if left to the honesty of the rebels, no Republican member of .Congress, however large his majority may be, will be certified as elected. Already their journals are openly declaring that they give the north due notice that they propose to rule the South at least, and to ao it in Jheir own way, and that now and forever the negro shall not vote. These are not idle words. Men of the north hear and act, remembering the agony, tears and blood of those long bitter years, when men rallied at the country's call in numbers like the leaves in the forest. Do bravely as of yore your duty, or all is lost. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."

The model campaign speechJof the season was that made by the greatest soldier and purest statesman Ulysses S. Grant when he said "I can say without hesitation that I will give Garfield my hearty support. There is no reason why any Republican should not vote for Garfield. I know him to be a man of talent, thoroughly accomplished, and an upright man. I Hancock office/'

have nothing against General i, but Garfield is the man for the

The democrats here at the Capital are not happy over the disclosures made in New^iorkby Senator Wallace's committee. The machine it is alleged i6 grinding out first-class Republican campaign thunder. Davenport shows that while Ku kluxing and murder did its bloody work to defeat Republicans in the South, the democrats were doing the same thing in New York, in the more humane way of issuing through the courts fratidulent naturalization papers. In 1808 only 70,000 bogus votess were made by Judges Barnard and McQunn. Thfe evidence shows that they were turned out by this machine at the rate of 500 per hour. On the 12th of October, 1868, the numbfer reached the enormous sum of 4,620. Even this rapid method was not sufficient to defeat the* Republicans, and 20,000 bogus naturalization papers were issued in blank without any application. For the past 25 years these trauds have existed, and these thousands of bogus voters have repeated the fraud every year they have voted. The democratic committees with Tweed, Tilden and others were notoriously connected with these frauds. Fernando Wood and others have here in Congress tried to manufacture some nyichine that would stop the mouth,of Davenport, by impeachment or otherwise and thus silence the damning evidence that he had and which is very fortunately just at this juncture given tlie public.

The reports made to the National Cominitte here at the Capital show that the Republican party was never in its history so thoroughly united as at the present time. The work of' the canvass itself is thoroughly in hand and all parts of the country are close sympathy with the committee in maturing the plans.

Pity the sorrows of the poor old man of cipher alley. He wanted to be President but his party, on account of faithful services in tli« past invited him to preside at the democratic jubilation over Han cock who secured the nomination at Cincinnati which Tilden so much desired. After November's battle with the ballot, Hancock will be reported as politically dead, and both these worthies will then be embalmed and laid awav off history's shelf with Valandigham, Lee and others who were false to country and her sacred memories in the time of her sorest need.

The frank, manly and patriotic letter of General Arthur accepting^ the nomination meets with universal approval. He dis cusses the questions that now confront Republicans in a way that satisfies ever}' one that he is fully compenant to fill the high position to which Jiis party will cle vate in November.

The democratic committee are disturbed at the condition of things in Virginia. It is by no means #11 quiet across the Potomac and unless they are able to reconcile discordant party elements that are now bitterly opposing u:v„.. othei vote of the state will be ''net for Gr and Arthur. The Republican committee are on the alert and i.iying plans for thorough canvass of the old dominion by some of our most eloquent stump speakers.

The State associations which were dissolved a few years since, are now being reorganized, and put in shape for active campaign work. These organizations have in years past rendered great service by writing letters to the press from the Capital and mailing documents and assist ing iu sending to their respective voting

Some miserable vandal conceived the Idea of improving the physigue of the democratic candidate, by cutting off his whiskey, and setting him up in business with Dr. Tanner, ft is perfectly evident, it is alleged, that unless there is a radical change. Hancock can never win tlie Presidential race, carrying such amass of adipose democracy.
