lV»r1«ft’ii Ncr^ptloii Mpwh. flon»<or Morton was receirod by IiIp party i'rUnds on the occasion of his return from Washington to this city on WetfnMday night last, although lio had tnyrtad several days at Centerville to n»*ke his advent hero opportuno. Mr. Morton took advantage of the opportunity to make an elaborate speech upon what he regarded as the important questions to be decided by the elections of this year, or, as he remarked, upon “the position of things to-day, and to tho duties that now press upon each one of us.” The main portion of his speech was devoted to a discussion of the issues that even he has often conceded wore settled by tho war, but which ho now attempts to revive to excite the prejudices and passions that tho war engendered, with the hope that such a policy wonld benefit the radical party. We have not time to review all the misrepresentations made by the radical Senator in Ills speech, hut they are so evident and transparent, that no sensible man who is guided by reason and nnprejndiced jfid^ ment can bo deceived thereby. Wo will give an illustn.lion of tho Senators’ misrepresentations. In justifying the policy of Congress toward the Southern States,

he satds

"My friends, nineteen out of twenty of the white people ot the rebel States are hostile to tho Government of tho I’nited States. They are hostile to those governments that wo have foriyod there for them, and what is more, they are all

armed.”

•Mark the words: “Nineteen out of twenty of the white people of tho rebel States are hostile to the Government of the I’nited States.” Tills opinion is In direct conflict witli that of the radical candidate for the Presidency. In a report of General Grant on tho condition of the

Rout horn States, ho says:

Both in traveling and « hilo stopping I saw much and conversed freely with tho Citizens of those States, ns well as witli the ottloers of the army who have been stationed among them. The following are tho conclusions come to by me: I am satisfled that the mass of thinking men of the South accept tho pro-.out situation of affairs in good faith. rite questions which have hitherto divided tho sentiments of tlie people of the two sections— slavery and States’ rights, or the right of State to seqede from tho I nion- tlny regard as huv^hg boon settled forever by

huvLhg

the highest /tribunal—arms -that man can resort pb I was pleased to learn from the leading men whom I met that they not only accepted ihe decision arrived :vt ns final, but, now that the smoko of battle has cleared away and time has been given for reflection, that this decision has boon a fortunate one for the whole country, they receiving like benefits from it witli those who opposed them in the tield and in council. * * There Is such universal acquiescence in the authority of tho General Government throughout the portions of the country visited by me (hat the more presence of a military force without regard to numbers, issutlleient

to maintain order.

* * My observations lend mo to tho conclusion that the citizens ol tho Southern Rtates are anxious to return to self-gov-ernment within tho 1’nlon as soon as possible; that while reconstructing they want protection from tho Government; that they are earnest in wishing to do what they think is required by the Government, not humiliating to them as citizens; uml that if such a course was pointed out. they would perservo it in good faith. It is to be regretted that there can not bo a greater commingling at this time between the citizens of the two sections anil particularly of those entrusted with tho law-making power. The opinion of General (inant is certainly entitled to ns much consideration that of Senator Morton, but it will lie noticed that it is in direct oonilict. General U Ha NT says that tho of the thinking men of the Soulli accept the present slluatiqn of alliurs in good faith./ and that there is nn universal acquiescence in tho authority of ftm General Government. No doubt this representation of Routhern feeling is true. Yet Senator Morton declares, but for electioneering purpose only it is evident, that ‘‘nineteen out of t wenty of tho white people of the rebel States are hostile to the

Government.”

No doubt tho white people of tho South, tho carpet-baggers excepted, are hostile to the governments that the radical party has formed for them. It would not bo expected that tin* wnite |..,opio of the South would he otlierv. iso than hostile to the reconstruction policy of the radical Congress that subordinates the white man to the negro. It would he unnatural if it was otherwise, and a people who would tamely submit to such a degradation are unworthy of the name of freemen. The some blood Hows through tho veins of tho white people of the North and tho South, and what tho white people of the North will not submit to, would be unmanly to impose, or attempt to impose, upon the white people of the Mouth. Tho .Senator says in the language of Grant “hot us have peace," yet his road to peace would turn over the .Southern States to negro domination, n condition of affairs which he said but a short time ago was not to bo desired and would only result in evil to the country. But, to express it figuratively, Morton sober and Morton drunk witli partisan prejudices and ambition, present phases of character so different that they can hardly ho reconciled. Upon the financial issues Morton is equally unfortunate. He assails tho position of Mr. Hendricks upon tho public • debt question, and then inquires, “can any man toll mo upon which side of that groat question the distinguished .Senator stands?” Ho then defines what ho represents to he tho position of tho Democracy: “I say now that if the Democratic part y has any position upon this question at all, it is that the Government lias l lie right to go on and issue now greenbacks to tho amount of hundreds and thousands of

millions.”

Then to prove that this is tho position of tbs Democratic party, he tjnotes the following from tho speech of Mr. Hen-

dricks:

“1 would not he understood as being in favor of an increase of the currency without limit. The dangers and evils of an unrestricted issue of paper money can not bo too carefully avoided. Temptations in that direction are great, and must be resisted by wisdom and pru'lence. No one more than myself regrets the necessity of a rose rt to paper currency, but it results from tho necessities of our condition. The Issues must be limited to the demands of business, and the wants of the people In meeting tlio enormous levies for national, State, county and city purposes.” The charges of Senator Morton, and his (BVldeneo to sustain thom, are entirely at variance, Again ho says: “Another inevitable consequence of tho ■success of tho Democratic party will be t ho repudiation of tho national debt.” Following this assortion, tho Senator charges that tho Democratic part y "is now tn open fraternity and affiliation with the rebels of the South," and “the only thing that would ever reconcile them to the payment of tho debt would he tho assumption of ajl their debt and putting it on tho same footing with tho national debt.” Mark the inconsistency. Find charging that it is the purpose of the Democratic party to repudiate the national debt, following jt up with the assertion that It proposes to assume the rebel debt! These antagonistic positions sro too ridiculous to require any argument or Illustration to demonstrate their

folly.

Senator Morton Is n lucre partisan. He possesses ability but is unable to rise above the prejudice and slime of party politics and partisanship. Ho misrepresents and slanders his political opponents 'for party success and jicrsonal aggrandizement. His public career gives no evidence of a single act of justice or magnanimity toward his political opponents. His speech of Wednesday night, ^ and such Is tho character of all his efforts, is a tissue of misrepresentations for partisan interests, but they have boon so oft repented and proven false, that they cease to influence tho public mind. Tho false has had its effect, but tho truth and tho right must triumph, us we, believe they will this year to tho overwhelming mscomflturo of the unscrupulous party that have controlled tho Government for the past seven years In the Interests of Its managers and against both public and private welfare.

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY MORNING. AUGUST 1, 1868.

NUMBER 5,832.

npeesh of Cart Scfcnrt* General Carl Sehurtz spoke at Mozart Hall last night In a speech of an hour and a half. He roved from ono question to another, but confined himself principally to negro suffrage. Ho began by saying that this was not the first time he appeared before the Germane of Indianapolis; that he had spoken hero before, but siuco then many questions had changed. Eight years ago there existed in the Routhern Statoe two classes of society. First, the aristocrats; secoud, the slaves. .Slavery was not agreeable with our free institutions: therefore, the war which he said lasted four years after it was over, Is over. The uudieuce remembered with what feelings of Indignation tho terms allowed General Johnston by the illustrious Sherman; how the people said that • man that would receive such a surrender must either bo crazy or a traitor. He then went on attomptingAo prove that negro suffrage was necessary, for wo could not trust again those men who fought us for so long, for the reason that they were enemies of our institutions. We therefore, being unable to trust the whites as a class, for this reaeon, had to call on the loyal population, who wore negroes. W'e then conferred on thorn the right of ballot, in order to save not only the South, hut the Union itself. He then said that if tho negro had voted In ’61, ho would have cast Ills vote against secession, and thereby prevented the war, for ho would not have stood against equal labor. He then went on to admit that tho negro was n<>t intelligent, nor would ho say that they equalled the white man in this respect. The Domoerats said conferring the right of suffrage on the negro was unconstitutional. Why (said ho) everything tho Republican party does is unconstitutional. In tho first place they said wo could not coeroo the Rtates. Tho Democracy wore responsiblo for tho war. They never gave aid nor comfort to tho soldier. He planted himself on equal rights for all, and argued strongly in favor of nogro suffrage. Ho finally maintained that the bonds must ho paid in gold, and not taxed, or tho Nation would bocomo one groat scoundrel; and, in ease wo venture to pay thorn in greenbacks, Europeans would point at us, saying, “Tho great Swindler!” On tlio whole, his speech would have satisfied the most ultra radical, and we regret that time and space will not permit us to give H in full.

London, Friday, July 31. The session of Parliament was proiguod to-day. The Gitecn was not present, and her speech was made by tho Royal Commission, and read, t.s usual, by the Lord Chancellor. It speaks of the foreign relations of Groat Britain as in a most friendly and satisfactory condition, and says there is no reason to S cr war in Europe. No reference is made to tin United States.

Blair addressed an immense Democratic mee! tug t his evening fret 11 t he steps of t he Mansion Ilousq. His speech w as principally devoted to the action of the radical party in the reeoiistruetion of tho South and record of General Grant, lie charged that the Republicans having lost eoutiden the while people of t he country, had resorted to t he support of the blacks; that it was from Do love of the negro race that they had enfranchised them, but only as schemes to maintain themselves in power. Said ho had nothing against Grant personally, that his military services would ever be remembered with pride, but siuco lie bad entered theurcmiof politics hiu acts political were proper matters for public criticism. That Grant bad changed his views on the subject of reconstruction inconsistently, having at the cl oho of the war urged immediate admission of the Senators and Representatives of the Southern States, chosen then by the people of those States, but ho said the secret of the adherence of Generals Grant. Sheridan and other regular army officers to the radical party Is the tendency of that party which has overthrown the prerogatives of the Supremo Court, and the Executive hraneh of the Government is toward a military despotism, which, being necessarily based upon military power, would give eonsequeneo to prominent officers of tho army. He said history shows that no pariy pursuing the course and using tho means adopted by the radical party, can live or receive the support of tho pooplo. Ho denied that the sentiments expressed in his letter or New York speech were revolutionary; that tho people of the United States at the last elections had repudiated negro suffrage, u;x)n which was based the whole reconstruction scheme, and that to overthrow, by proper constitutional means, tho reconstruction acts is but carrying out tho w ill of tho people.. Ho charged the radical party as tho only revolution-

ary one.

In reply to a remark from the crowd, he

said:

Tito radical party has made copperheadism respectable. General Blair spoke about thirty minutes, bis remarks being received with much enthusiasm, and at the close music was discoursed and a brilliant display of fireworks had. Hon. O. \V. Gliok, the Democratic nominee for Governor, addressed tho meeting afterwards, and was followed by Colonel Charles P. Blair, nominee for Congress, and other speakers.

OIL CITY.

Terrible Conflagration—Great Destrnetl«M of Property—Incidents—Etc.

Oil City, Friday, July 31.

One of the most disastrous fires that over visited this region occurred this morning. It destroyed both sides of Main street, from the Postofflce to the National Hotel, including the James House, Charles Hotel and Berg House, the Western Union and P. and A. telegraph office, and Porterfield’s residence—Tn all about two hundred buildings. A great number 'iff fhmilies aio rendered homeless. The oil interests suffered but very little. OttL, City, July 31.—Nearly the whole town on the west side of the creek is laid waste. All the buildings on both sides of Main street from the post office to the National Hotel and down to the river are iu ashes, including the Western Union and Pacific and Atlantic Telegraph Companies’ offices, Lockhart & Fisher’s shed, P00J Brothers’ yard, Fisher’s oil yard, together with the tanks of Ca’rper, Thompson & Co., and Lockhart & Turner’s were consumed by fire, and the loss will probably amount to over 130,000 dollars, <>u which there is about 50,000 dollars

insurance.

About one hundred and fifty buildings

were destroved.

Among the heaviest losers are J. A. Christy, druggist; Dr. Porterfield, residence; Finley A Condi, grocers; Isaac Blakely, hardware; Windsor BrotherSf hardtfHre; Hoag A Brothers, Jones House; I* D. Kelley, paints; Western Union Telqgraph Block; St. Nicholas Hotel; Charles Sheppard, grocery; Boyle

House; Slitfe-& Sons, bakery.

The firq continued until about twelve

o’clock nbon.

Oil City, July 31.—About two o’clock this morning a tire broke out in Parker, Thompson and Co.’s engine house, in the rear of the Jones House, burning Pool & Lockhart’s platform, and many dwelling houses and stores. About two-thirds of the west side is in ashes. All the tow*n between the postofflce and the Grant Houso was burned on botli sides of the street. The fire originated in an engine house, situated near tho Jones House, the fiames communicating to some truck cars standing near, and bv them to the buildings, spreading with fearful rapidity, consuming everything from tho Post Office to the National Hotel on both sides, aud to the river edge, rendering houseless two hundred families. It is impossible to estimate the .losses correctly at this time. They are very heavy. The oil interests suffored very little by fire. Lockhart A Drew’s loss is

estimated at $15,060. ST.~LOUIS.

Bridge, one of tj") directors of tho Missouri Railroad, and who a short time, ago enjoined the company against paying any money on account of certain legislation last winter in connection with tlio purchase of the road from the State, will to-morrow apply for a mandamus, to enable him to examine the books and general affairs of the company. The petition states that fraudulent and fictitious vouchers to a large amount had I "'on recently paid out of the moneys of the company to ono of tho directors of the road. The President of the company, some weeks since, issued orders to subordinate oiliccrs not to allow the inspection of bonds, record* and papers of the company by anybody without ids written permission; hence the application for a mandamus. Vouchers were referred purporting to be tor wood and tics alleged to is* delivered at points along the road, and are properly certified by Mr. Moore, .Superintendent of the

road.

Another station on the Kansas Pacific Railroad was accepted to-day. Tin* road is now completed to Sheridan, twelve i miles this side of Fort Wallace.

“I have my revolver,” I replied, placing my hand behind mo to see if it was sate. ‘.‘It is well to be prepared,” continued my friend. “I seldom travel at night, and it is said there are some lawless people abroad, though I think there is little chance of being molested between here and the house.” “Perhaps I had better accompany you,” said the overseer, whose name was Bes-

son.

“You might return with me in the morning,” replied Juan, who seemed

pleased with the proposal.

“In that case we had better take a bite of something before we start, eh?” “Wait till we get home,” answered

Jnan.

Weather clear and very warm. The Warning. Tito women of Peru are extremely beautiful. Some of the handsomest women I have ever seen were natives of that country. Ono of these was Inez Zantccas; a very queen in her appearance. She was scarcely sixteen when she married Juan Salaho, a merchant of Lima, a warm personal friend of tnv own, who hud acquired almost a princely fortune while yet a young man. Like' all handsome women, tho Senorita Inez had many admirers. Among these was a first coitsin of hers, Antonio Miguel, who had inherited wealth from his parents, but was fast squandering it in gaming and dissipation. Tho lady preferred my friend Juan; and their marriage exasperated Miguel to such a degree that but for the intervention of friends, he would have challenged his more successful rival. Having at last run through his inheritance, ho soon alter left the city, no one knew whithci. About six monihs after marriage Juan Salano purchased a silver mine in a remote section of Peru, away to the eastward: and having built a houso such as woula suffice to live in for the time being, went thither, accompanied by his wife, to superintend tho working of the

mine.

Juan took with him a number of miners, and one servant, an old negro woman. I presented him with a hound that I took with me from homo, a noble dog, and well trained, one that I had had since a pup. The dog soon became ntuch attached to his new master, so Juan wrote me. The mine, ho said, was doing well, and promised to bo very remuuera-

tives.

This was some months after they had become settled there. His letter ended with an urgent appeal to me to make them a visit, offering me such fare as their humble dwelling might afford. I promised to avail myself of the invitation, and, in the month of June, having no business to detain me, started on my way toward the mountains. I was three days in reaching there, having performed the journey almost entirely on horseback. My reception was a welcome ono all around. “You see,” said Juan to mo, “we sixteen miles from the nearest town, so you can imagine how jittle we see of any one except ourselves. During the day I am usually at the mine, which is a good seven miles from here. There I have the society of the miners, but that is not the most cultivated in the world, as you know," During the afternoon, as I had expressed great interest iu the mine, Juan proposed, if agreeable to me, that we ■hould ride over and look at it. We arrived In good season at the mine, where the men w'ere busy at work under the direction of an overseer. Sqme hours were consumed in examin ing lh^ progress which has been made, ettook W» «e we wer®'fully 'Art you armed?” asked Joan of me, •e we prepared to mount.

quarter of an hour we

were on the road. It was a lovely night; the moon shone with unsurpassed effulgence, rendering the way as plain to be followed as at mid-day.' There was not a cloud in the sky, which was thickly studded with stars; and the leaves on the

trees shone as with silver.

We had ridden little over five miles when we heard through the stillness the panting of some animal coming toward us

on the road.

“What can it be?” asked Besson.

“It sounded like a dog,” replied Juan. Just at that moment^ as we reached the base of the mountain, and the road stretched out straight and level before us, wo saw a black shadow coming rapidly along it. The distance lessened with each stride of the animal, and very soon it w as

plain to sec that it was a dog.

“It must be Carlo,” remarked Juan; “ itis mistress has probably sent him to

hurry us on to supper.”

In less time than it takes to tell it tho dog was at our heels, panting, barking, and starting forward on a run, then returning and barking still more, would rush forward again, its before, seeming almost frantic iu his desire to convey to us something which the poor brute had no other means of communicating than

By these dumb signs.

“We had better ride forward,” said Juan, somewhat agitated. “We have a smooth road before us now. There may

be something wrong.”

We put spurs to our horses aud started at a sharp gallop, followed by Carlo, breathing harder now than ever with the long run ho hud had. Fifteen minutes gave us a distant glimpse of Juan’s

house.

A shrill scream, that of a woman, greeted our ears as we caught sight of the roof, shining in the still moonlight. “Good God!” exclaimed my friend, “it’s Inez's voice; for the love of Heaven press forward.” Into our horses’ flanks went our spurs; away they bounded at a pace which distanced poor Carlo, who in vain strove to keep up with us. Juan had the fleetest horse; he was some lengths ahead; Besson and I kept neck and neck. So swift was our gait, we seemed to flyover the ground. As we neared the house we discerned two other horses standing waiting in the road. At the instant 1 saw these, two men appeared upon the scene, dragging between them a woman, struggling in vain to free herself of their grasp, while another female clung beseechingly to one of them, holding on as if for dear life. The first of these was Inez; the last, the old negro servant, who had been, with Carlo, her only companion, during our absence. “Let go, you Muck ,” exclaimed the man, with a terrible oath, dealing her at the same time a Mow that felled her to the ground. Then, lifting her mistress into tiie saddle, where hi* companion was by this time alri a iy seat’d, he vaulted into ids own, and the two sped on their way like the wind. The viiliuns had the start of us., but our steeds wt re as fleet, if not fleeter than theirs. Soon ‘his last proved to lie tiie ease, for we gained on them rapidly. As Juan approached, he drew a pistol from ids holster and aimed it at the foremost, who hud last hold of Inez, in his saddle; her lornr, streaming black hair floated lo. one* side, where In r arms were extended imploringly 'toward us. “Stand, yin\ black-hearted scoundrels,” shouted J nan. “Hold!" cried Besson; “save your lire, you may wound her.” He hud drawn ids revolver as welj; b» was a d ad shot, as 1 afterwards learited. •'rack went Ids pistol, tin* man reeled in id* saddle, t brew id* arms wildly into the air, and dropped dead in the road. Juan sprang from ids horse and eanght the form of tlto now insensible Inez, in his

arms.

The other rider kept on his way; we heard tiie clatter of ids horse's hoof* lessening in the distance sis he made good iris escape. I turned the form of ids now prostrate companion over on Ids back. I'ho face was bidden by a mask. I uncovered it; the moon shone full upon it—it was Antonio Miguel's. I collected water iu my hat; with it we sprinkled the pale Inez..' After a time she revived. We lifted her into the saddle and bore her home, where we found the colored servant, rec'bvered from the stunning effect of the Mow site had received, sitting in the.place where she had fallen, wailing and lamenting the supposed fate of her mistress. Her joy was great on beholding her in our safe keeping. Carlo stood waiting for us 'at the gate. On see-

0, panting, to meet us. Brave, faithful Carlo! When the house was besieged by tin* two villains ids mistress had let him out by a side door, and, appreciating her danger, he hastened to apprise us of it. Brave Carlo! By that act lie won the life-long gratitude of both master and mistress. The body of Antonio Miguel was delivered over to the authorities of the nearest town. After a short inquiry they were convinced of the justifiable nature'of the homicide, and so ended tiie whole matter.
