INDIANAPOLIS LETTER.

.Iffi*** INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 21st, 1870, Mee ing a prominent Democrat the other d: y, I was somewhat surprised to no'ice that lie had a very confidential loolj that evidently there was something unusual on lii.s mind, and that he was in clined to^nake some important remarks

Giving my hand a vigorous shake he raid: "II:ist heard the ne.vc?" "I ha. no'." "Where have you been lately?" "Well, L've been around some why?" "Did n't yo.i here about Will Cumback?" "Xo haven't seen any mention of him

Tt "Well, tliat^ funnj. I'll tell yon, fcuniback'n a candidate for one of the fita'.e office.-1. He is, for a fact. That's the reason he did n't go to Portugal.

That's the secret of Morton's vi.sit here. That's the reason old Solemnity has been deader than usual. That's the .' 'No voit tlont say so," I broke in. "How do you happen to know all this?" "Got it from a conservative Republican. Best kind of authority knows all that's going on. lie told mc all about the Oitmback- difficulty, as it now stands about the Methodists and Temperance for. men's combination what the Masons\ are doing about the Wabash and Erie Canal ring, and a great deal more. I tell you the liepubiican party 's gone up. Why I'd insure the Dcmocraciic ticket for one and a quarter. Yes!" liecovering somewhat I begged him not to do it, adding that there was too much risk in "writing on" so mauh benzine apd fusil Qtj. 'T would break the company* sure." lkwide* the Fifteenth Amendment

Looking up suddenly, a haggard smile passed over his llorid countenance, and he heaved a deep sigh. Then he resumed his narrative.

But I interrupted hi:n pleasantly, and told him he didn't know anything about it that 1 happened to know his conservative Republican wai «, Democrat, the same who had written 'the Sentinel's attack Oi General Kimball, and that Will Cumback told me he knew nothing of that matter. Further, that the Methodists were getting up revivals all over the State, making men Christians and Republicans, and that the arrangement was fully understood that the Temperance people contemplated starting a paper in Indianapolis solely to advocate the election of the Republican ticket that a Mason had told me as an Odd Fellow that the Adoniram lodges and the Free and Accepted were all Republicans, and. that all the stock in the Wabash and Erie •canal ring, except some shares that had been pawned, were held by Democrats that Governor Morton only came here to pay his taxes, and that Will Cumback woukl'nt exchange his law practice for any office in the county or out of it, exceping United States Senator. And besides, the fifteenth amendment—

At this my Democratic friend showed signs- of great uneasiness. He clasped. Tiis hands low down on his heart, and bending forward at an acute angle, murmured a few words of parting and dcxtrously turned hirriaelf inside the doors of Washington Hall.

I was sorry he went, because I panted to say something about ex-Senator Hendricks' advocacy of the inevitable amendment, and his instructions in relation thereto, and something about the canal business, on which he evidently was not well informed, and something of Colonel Eddy's intended resignation, and why he didn't resign, and about their not putting jf, .German on their State ticket.

Some of those matters would doubtless {have interested him, and given a healthier tone fo his thinking bu^he unfortunate allusion to the Fifteenth amendment «.lid the business for him, and he bolted

THE STATE SENATE.

Two good men have been announced for the State Senate in this county, Judge E, fi. Martindale and Colonel William M. French. Both are leading citizens and either of them will do. Judge Martind.ile is a fine lawyer, a man who manager his own business first rate, and has some ability to spare, He is the prime mover in the new hotel project, a man ef liberal views and a keen observer generally. Colonel Frenoh has long been connected with the Insane Hospital, as one of the managers, is a writer of con sidorable reputation, and as a politician, in the good sense of the word, thoroughly. understands the situation. He is now serving his country in an arduous position—Chairman of the Republican

County Committee. FELLOW CITIZENS. Inasmuch as it is now apparent that the Fifteenth amendment will soon become a law, the colored people here have addre&ed a pate to the County Republi can Committee, asking that they be pub' licly authorized to note at primary elections And, in convention. Some of the counties in the State have already made provision to that end.

If the Democracy take the advice of ex Senator Hendricks, they will not be slow er than the Republicans in extending every facility to the fifteenth amendment people, to enable them to exercise the great privilege about to be tonferrcd upon them. Whether, it would profit the party any is a question. II would be wise, anyhow.

Tin: COXVESFLON—PERSONAL. A large number of strangers are in town already this morning, and what is a little curious, several prominent Demo1 crats, from different parts of the State, are here also. They seem, to take a melancholy interest in what. is going on— that sort of interest, perhaps, that a pa-

tient takes in seeing a surgeon preparing his tools for an operation. Jhe action of the conventioh in reference to the Wabash and Erie canal basines3 is foreshadowed by the resolution® of many of the county conventions. The people of the State will be against that iniquity.

The faat that Senator Morton will address the convention has doubtless drawn some people hitherward. Democrats as well as Republicans. The Senator is in good health and excellent spirits.

Ojr Third Assistant Postmaster General, W. H. H. Terrell, who came with Senator Morton's party from Washington, is looking exceedingly well. He is heartily greeted by his many friends.

AMUSEMENTS.

This is the last week of the theatrical season. No one will regret it, as the management has been poor enough. We have had some good thing* at the Academy of Music, and a deal of trash—some glimpses of opera and the standard drama, and much of the showing that is done to beggarly houses. But then we havn't had McKean Buchanan, to make us exclaim: |, "With deep dejection 11

And recollection ,, Wo often think of tho»o frantic yells. And that's something to feel thankful

The various social and dancing clubs have discharged their musicians till after the days of lent and codfish, but there will be a masquerade or so, and several large parties among those who have no fears of ecclesiastical censure. Society people have had a gay season, during which the frailties of the body have annoyed them more than the tearings of the conscience, and now they are getting blase.

In musical circles the advent and debut of Miss Ottilie Glauczsk—pronounced Klautachek, as near as we can get' at it —created something of a sensation. She is a brilliant pianist, reminding one very much of Gottschalk, and persons can enjoy seeing her play about as well as hearing her. She is the pet of the Germans, and they know what good music is.

THE sleepy Mayor of New Albany didn't get ready to attend the great bridge inauguration until tlie day after the fuss was over, fio that city was not officially represented on the august occasion. That official would have been better adapted to the 14th than he is the 19lh century, but the old fogy didn't order the time of his birth, and shouldn't be too severely blamed.

THE Republican State Convention will assemble at the Academy .of'Music, Indianapolis, at two o'clock, this afternoon, and proceed to effect a permanent organization, and transact such other buainess as may be thought proper. At night Senator 0. P. Morton will deliver an address at Masonic Hall. To-morrow, the 23d,the Convention will assemble at nine o'clock, and proceed to the nomination of State officers. 1

IT WAS BEEN the excellent custora^of Senator Morton to prepare his great ipeeches some days before their delivery, and|furni8h advance "slips" to Republican papers desiring to publish them. But his time has been so much occupied with public affairs, ^of late, that the speech that he is to deliver this evening had not been completed yesterday. It will, however, be the fresher and better in some respects for the delay. Writing at Indianapolis, on the very eve'ofthe Convention, he will have the great advantage of the most accurate knowledge of "the situation," and if it cannot be so early placed before the reading public, they will find it all the morefpertinent to the great issues of the campaign and will fce well repaid for the delay in receiving it.

The resolution offered last Monday by Loughridge came up for action as follow?.

Resolved, In the opinion of the House, that the busiuess interests of the country require an increase in the volume of circulating currency, and the Committee on Banking and Currency are instructed to report to the House at as early a day as practicable, a bill increasing the currency to the amount of at least $50,000,000.

The previous question was seconded— 108 to 72, and the resolution was adopted, yeas 110, nays 73.

Mr. McCrary introduced a joint resolution to relieve from manufacturers' tax pork-packers, lard-renderers, and persons engaged in smoking, hams and curing meats, &c.

Pending action, the morning hour expired, and the joint resolution went over till next Monday.

Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, from the Committee on Reconstruction, reported back the Senate bill removing political disabilities from between 400 and 500 persons in various States. Some eight of the persons embraced have been elected to office in Mississippi, and, if the bill were not passed, they would be disqualified.

Mr. Whittemore offered an amendment to the House bill, embracing about 2,000 names.

Mr. Cox inquired whether there was any principle stated in the bill on which these names were reported.

Mr. Whittemore replied there was not. Mr. Cox—Is it proposed to attach to the original bill, or to amend any system of amnesty through courts, or otherwise?

Mr. Whitmore.—Not at all. That is in a separate bill. Mr. Cox.—I will never vote fcr a measure picking out men by name. I want a general amnesty.

Mr. Butler, (Mass.,) said no man in the House was more anxious than himself to get up a general bill to remove disabilities. Such a bill had been reported, and he would press it at the earliest possible moment, but that would take considerable time in the House and Senate, and he was anxious that, in the meantime, a bill should be passed. After this he would not report any further personal disabilities bills until the House had passed a general amnesty bill. He was sorry to feel himself obliged, from the position of business, to report this billv At first he did not feel so obliged.

Mr. Brooks, of New York, declared himself opposed to the whole system of peddling out pardons in detail. It was wrong from beginning to end, unworthy the character of the government, undignified and improper, and if there were no other member to vote against it, he would alone. There was much to be said against the people of the South, but. tjiere was also much to be said in favor of their heroism, of their Anglo-Saxon native American pluck, and of the wonderful resources they had exhibited. He desired to have them welcomed back, BO that in case of foreign war they would fight alongside the people of the North in common defense of the country. He has felt proud of their heroism, and he had felt proud of the generous terms accorded to them at Appomattox Court House by the General of the army, and he only wished that distinguished efficer was as generous now as then that he were -less of a politician and more of a General.

He wished such generosity should be exhibited to the people of the South that the government could safely calculate (m the aid of their half million of rifles in any war we might be engaged in against England, France or Spain. There was no self-government in the South. More had been imj63cd on that people than hacf ever been imposed by any civilized people on any subjugated nation. They had been robbed of self-government, militai power had been placed over them. Their tates had been reorganized by force, they slaves of slaves. Was
