The testimony of Reredell, one of the men indicted in the Star route cases who has confessed his guilt and is disclosing the secrets of the ring, is undoubtedly the most important feature of the trial. Ilis story, as the government counsel assert, can be corroborated, and thus becomes a very important piece of evidence, lie says that he kept the books for S. \V. Dorsey, and in disclosing the contents of these records of the ex-senator's financial transactions he directly implicates ex-Assistant Postmaster (ieneral Brady in .receiving money benefits out of the ring.

In the senate day before yesterday Senator Maxey, a free trader, quoted Mr. Ifayne, of South Carolina, iu support of his views. Mr. Webster, of Massachusetts, once said in one of his great tarill' speeches in congress: "That is the truest American policy which shall most, usefully employ American capital and American labor, mid best sustain the whole population."

Mr. I layne truly represented South Carolina's sentiments regarding all matters concerning the public welfare, and Mr. Webster represented those of Massachusetts. The progress of the two states since the time of I lay no and Webster ought to place the verdict clearly in favor of the views held by Mr. Webster. South Carolina is to-day the same sleepy state it was forty years ago, while Massachusetts is a hive of industry.

A great deal of interest is being manifested in the spring elections in Ohio inasmuch as it is generally accepted that the result will be a strong indication of the way the state will vote in the fall. In Cincinnati, Hamilton county, the split in the Republican ranks which gave the city to the Democrats I wo years ago has disappeared and the parly stands with a united front to meet the common enemy. The Republicans are in good spirits and believe the people will this spring show that they have no mind of continuing the experiment of last fall in giving the Democracy their votes.

The condition of the party in Ohio finds a parallel iu this state where its duembers are fully in accord and hopeful. Locally the outlook is improving laily, and what little feeliug may have t'seited itself heretofore to the injury oi'lhe paity is dying out and giving .place to the purpose of redeeming the supremacy of the party.

Hendricks and McDonald—The Candidates for Governor—A Story About Doxey.

Special Correspondence of the Express. iNMAXArous, Ind., Feb. 8.—I expect to see a great eruption in the Democratic party in this state before 1884 is at hand with its presidential conventions. Gentlemen in that party may cry peace, peace, but there is going to be trouble "suah." If Joe McDonald thinks he is just going to walk right past Tom Hendricks and pull at the tongue of the Democratic wagon while Hendricks and A oorhees are surging away at the double-trees, and Bill English is riding behind on the coupling pole, he will be aijionderfully surprised man one of these days. He cah't dispose of Tom Hendricks in that way, and Mrs. Hendricks will not consent to it, either. She is the best campaigner of her sex in the state, and she would just like to scratch Joe McDonald's eyes out, so they say. That's ^vliat Mrs. Hendricks would like to do, and she will raise a big fuss whenever McDonald attempts to get the Indiana delegation for himself for president. She knows all about fixing delegations herself and I will expect her to fix the Indiana delegation to the next national Democratic convention for her husband. She has been running him for president ever since 1808 and she has not given up her cause. He would have been nominated in 18(58 had not McClellan persisted in keeping in the race and- finally going over to Seymour support. In 1872 everything was at sea with the Democratic party and Hendricks really did not want to make the race for president, but was willing to wait another four years. In 187(5 his candidacv was poorly managed. In Tennessee he had the wrong wing of the Democratic party for him, and the promised votes in New York captured by Tilden, while delegates from other states that^ were promised for him got way into Tilden "bar'l." Take it altogether he lias borne the burden of defeat too often to give the way at this time for Mc

Donald, who but few people here regard as being anything great. THE NEXT GOVERNOR.

The question as to who will be the next governor of Indiana is already concerning not few minds. I rather think ex-governor Gray lias his heart set on this prize and he will be disappointed if he don't get it the next time. He was celearly the choice of •the Democratic voters in 1880, but the tricks of Austin Brown and the gang here that can't be gigged were too much for his confidence in the honesty of humanity, and Frank Lander's beat him just two votes when the convention met. He was put on the ticket with Landers for lieutenant governor as he had been for Williams in 1870 to give some force, but he could not save himself or Landers either. Governor Gray was in the city several days last week, and you may safely bet lie had a mission while here. If there is any man in the Democratic party that knows just how to "see" a fellow to the satisfaction ol all concerned, it is the ex-governor. He has been calling on the representatives of the Democratic party in the legislature, and since then I have heard a great deal of quiet talk about him for governor two years hence. This shows that he has lost none of his charms. I met him Saturday afternoon, coming from the cloak room of the house of representatives. lie was looking in elegant health and seemed real glad me. I tried to get tell me all the of the Democratic lie was all smiles and no talk." lie wasn't even sure that he was going to be a candidate for governor in 1884, or that he should have a walkover if he should be nominated. It is the talk here that in the event of Gray failing to receive the nomination he will make Senator Bell his legatee. This is about all there is in the Bell boom just now. If Gray or Bell is nominated for governor it looks clear that Speaker Bynum, of this county, will take second -place on the ticket. Captain John Whitsit told me yesterday that Bynum stood the best show for getting the first place on the ticket and that he would enthuse the young Democrats as no other man could. I think a ticket of Bynum for governor, and Representative Jewett, of Scott county, would have running qualities and be highly satisfactory to young America in the Democratic voting population. Mr. Jewett is looked upon here, as a rising young statesman. Jason Brown told me not long since that he was for Dave Turpie for governor, but this does not mean that Turpie will be nominated. The boss power does not extend to controlling nominations of so much importance. I think Mr. Turpie will not loom as a gubernational candidate two years since. He has no magnetism or social qualities and is far from being an interesting speaker. I see by the papers to-dav that Mr. Brown is going to be a candidate for congress in 1884 to succeed St ockslager, who will not be a candidate for a third term. Senator Brown has done great service for his party for many years and is never backward about doing even more than his full share. lie has never held any oflice from his party outside of a legislation position which is of little pecuniary value. I do not know of a more effective political speaker than Senator Brown, and as a debater he is always ready lo send as good as he receives. In the exciting contests in the senate this winter he has shown rare ability as a political general and speaker and has come to be regarded all over the state as the leader of Indiana Democracy.

A STORY AROUT DOXEY.

Hon. CharlesT. Doxey, lately elected to congress as Orth's successor, made the best speech of all delivered at the Ortli memorial services in congress last week. A capital story is told on Doxey, which I think is a cruel campaign canard and intended to bring discredit upon Doxey or his methods, a good Quaker, or Tom Ward, Doxey's opponent, I don't know which. There is a large Quaker settlement in Hamilton county, the bulwark of Republicanism in Doxey's district, and a fewdays before the election a Democrat approached a good Friend and inquired of him if he intended to vote at the election the Tuesday following. "Yea, I think I shall vote," was the solemn reply. "Well, look here," said the Democrat, confidingly, "You don't intend to vote for Charles T. Doxey, do you? He keeps a bucket shop, sir, and you surely don't intend to vote for him, I know." "Yea, 1 shall vote for Charles Doxey, 1 am told he keeps a bucket shop, but

When it is remembered that Mr. Doxey keeps a bucket shop of the phantom fortune kind it will be clearly seen why that Democrat was disheartened.

GENERALSTRAIGHT

has not been prominent in political society this winter yet I learn that he is thinking some of keeping in politics. Charley Ilift, who keeps the large hat establishment on Washington street, told me positively that Straight was going to be a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor two years hence. When General Streiglit began his campaign for that position in the winter of 1879-S0, he did so with a flourish of trumpets and a booming blast which finally resulted in a blasted boom. It was the first of the series of booms that have since followed and gone the same road. It is said that Streiglit worked his campaigne after the style of Tilden's, with a newspaper bureau and all that. If he got the bureau idea from that source it is not surprising that he missed being counted out by an early extinction. The burean business has played out and every prospective statesman that tried one went to the wall. The only way for a man to do who knows he ought to be elected governor any other office is to some poor newspaper correspondent at a big salary and victory will be his. If such means won't convince the people that the devil is an angre in disguise I want to know it. But Streight's campaign was a popular one with the country Republican editors who gladly turned their papers into Streiglit organs. This was pure patriotism early in the campaign and accounts for the great Republican victory in the fall of 1880. Streight's early life was made the model for the school boy of to-day to follow and his war record was made to bristle with bravery from the time he entered the service until the close of the war. Ilis sojourn at Libby prison and marvellous escape therefrom through the tunnel was told with all the elegance of a romance. The only thing that ever spoiled the tunnel story was some country editor referred to it editorially and said that the general dug out. with his hands after the fashion of a ground-hog. This made it a ground-hog case and it soon was unheard of.

THE I,AST ROSE OF SUMMER*. Tom Woods, who defeated Congressman De Motte for congress last fall, is the last to enter the prospective list for the Democratic nomination for governor in 1884.

NEW YORK FASHIONS.

Special Correspondence of the Express NEW YORK, Fob. 14.—So various a variety of varieties come up this month for notice, that I send you a variety letter. If displeased by the change, accord me I pray you a various variety of pardons.

Bustles are certainly becoming more of bustles longer and sad to say. more prominent. More people wear them, yet one does notlook outlandish without one. Let us cling to that "yet" as drowning mariners, and hope against hope. There is talk of hooped-skirts, which let us hope will continue to be talk.

Gros grain silks lift up their heads again and claim supremacy, while following close upon them weseejnention made of alpacas. Desirable because shedding the dust, we cordially greet again these materials so much liked, particularly as it is prophesied that tlisy will appear inafinish of "modern improvement."

A "cotton summer" is predicted. All sorts of pretty cotton goods are already in market, and passing by the old familiar prints, we find satines, checked, striped and floral patterned in immense variety. Awaiting customers, who will generally choose plain satine to make up in combination—generally, but not. always.

Thirty years experimenting ought to produce something,and something has been produced. Kone other than the new nonpareil brocaded velveteens, which have become immediate favorites, and are destined to a great run. They have the advantage over embossed velvet, as the ground is not clipped, and their woven broclie figures are much more lasting than those merely stamped by hot irons. Not injured by water they are in large demand for spring jackets, pelisses, inantalets, basques, or for costumes in combination \yith fine wool or silk. The prices are one-third less than velvet, and all stylish colors are sho\vn rich shades of navy blue, olive, garnet, myrtle, sapphire, wine color and black. Designs are various some modest, others bold in size, but all aie very tasteful.

Long cloaks have been in vogue so long that they really ought to be growing shorter, or growing old-fashioned, or growing, or doing something. Instead, they stand staunch and steadfast, the tides of fashion sweeping by them, eddying around them. Somehow we have an idea that a long cloak ought to be a warm one, but a process of logical sifting shows that to remain an idea only. In Paris lovely spring cloaks are made of lace over colored satin, and very thin wools are utilized for the same purpose. So, you see, a long cloak can be either thick or thin, and can be worn by either the young or the elderly, especially the latter. There is a flippancy about the jacket which suits not the lady who for many years has weathered the storms of matrimonial life, and for her the dignity of a prolonged garment is more in keeping. Young ladies have greater freedom, and wear either or both, as the paternal purse may give consent.

Each year the fancy for rugs seems to grow, and as the fancy grows so grows a wherewithal to satisfy it. In place of carpets come very large rugs, the one sufficient for a room, and which are spread over mattings or painted floors as the case may be. The advantage of this over the carpiet that must be re-cut and re-fit every time one moves, the migratory New Yorker alone can tell. We think of these things, now that the first of May looms up, and luibody knows where anybody is going to be. From the above climax of a rug, we have them in every si«e down to convenient little things put anywhere and everywhere, as the good wife fancies. As a late improvement, come rolls of carpeting with fringe sewn on the edge. These are cheaper than the genuine nig and also as desirable.

This is the invention of Professor Horsford, of Cambridge, whose acid phosphate ranks high with the medical profession, and the same scientific principles which have rendered that so excellent a remedy, have produced ingredients that restore to biscuits, cakes, etc., the nutritive phosphates lost in the process of process of bolting. It is therefore considered stronger and healthier than any other, besides making lighter bread, and of course grows every day in popularity.

INDIANA IN CONGRESS.

The Altitude of Republican Member* on the Tnriflr. Special to the Indianapolis Times.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 35.—When the sugar schedule was reached in the house tarifl'bill to-day, General Browne offered an amendment, making the rate of duty uniformly one cent per pound, an average reduction from the rates proposed by the bill of about two-thirds. In support of his amend ment, Mr. Browne said that while he preferred to put sugar on the free list, in the interest of the whole body of the people of the Lhiited States, who were consumers, he recognized that to be impossible, and was willing, therefore, to submit to the inexorable logic of facts, and would propose amendments reducing the duty on each class of sugar named in the schedule. The fact was, he said, that we produced only fifteen pounds of each one hundred pounds consumed, and this bill of the house compelled every consumer to pay from $3 to $4 to protect Louisiana planters in raising fif teen pounds of sugar. Whatever we might do in the way of protection to this interest, its production could never reach the demands of the country. Consumption was constantly increasing, while, for climatic reasons, production had about reached its outside limits. To tax sugar was to tax the whole people in the interest of a few planters in the gulf states. He still adhered to his position as a protectionist, and was in favor of protecting fairly every industry, but was for raising revenue first from luxuries—from such articles as are used by the opulent—and for relieving from duty, as far as possible, such articles as are consumed by every family in the land.

Mr. Peelle indorsed Mr. Brown's sentiment, while Messrs. Doxey and Peirce favored free sugar, believing that the sugar producing interests of this country have been about fully de veloped, are very meager in comparison to the necessary imports, and that it is unjust to the mass of consumers to levy duty upon such a small industry at such heavy expense to the people.

Quite a lively fight has arisen over the postmastership at Thorntown. There are three applicants, each well recommended. Mr. Doxey says lie will defer action until they all have shown their strength fully. "He wants to give them all a fair chance.

General George B. Williams, of Lafayette, is here. There is a vacancy— or a condition that amounts to a vacancy—in the Terre Haute collectorship, and it is said he has his eye upon it.

Chicago Times. It is well enough for a French ac tress to keep a troup of favored lovers, but it is professional suicide for her to marry. Sarah, while a sort of free for-all prize, was attractive and drew full houses, but once a wife, constantly under the eye of a watchful and jeal ous husband, she ceased to attract, and all of her recent theatrical ventures have been failures. She must elude Damala long enough to get tip an interesting scandal, or come to Indiana and get a divorce, before she can hope to restore herself to the good graces of the Parisians.
