A Qaeral Wanted. One of tlia greatest wants of the Allied army is a Commander-in-Chief whose one mind can control the whole affair. Speaking upon the subject the N. Y. Timet, says: "There U no commander, with fame sufficiently established and extended, to attract the confidence of his composite army. Pelissier has only an Algerine reputation. nd 's no poljot. At best he "uvt:i ntS" pcniTToa'ai interim. Omar Pacha is remoTed to Asia.

Perhaps & confidential advertisement in " the Times might bricg him; or if not hin, tome gallant capitalist prepare to meet the difficulty by contract," If one is not found, in due season, we would suggest to the "powers," the name of our friend, Hon. John L. Robinson, the present United States Marshal, for the District of Indiana.
Mr. Ilobinson has many qualities of resort and cry
'Sings Ex." I Bob. Hudson, Mun. McCarty and others, who were boys in Brookvillo some twenty fire years ago. will remember an orercrrown specimen of
mortality that occasionally took part j in playing "bhek-man," "base," and "ball." We will not name him, for Than" has not been heard of, lol these many years. Of him it may be said truly "Wharo fca U and ho ha ha Uro,
Noboly koi nobody carv." But "Than" was the hardest man to catch in all the school. Not bocame he could run the fastest, but bccau.se he could f;ill down the easiest. Then there was a law in force among the boy, that whenever, in running, one should by accident fall down, by claiming the "King's Excuse," or saying "King'a Ex.," his pursuers should retire a few paces nnd give him a chance to get up and start again. "Than" always kept a ' sharp look-out on his pursuer, and whenever ho ssfw him gaining ground, he would fall down as easily as possible, and cry out, "Kind's Ex." This he would renew as often as necessary, and rather than be taken, we have seen him lie there during tho remaindar oXthsfpIay and ery "K tag's Ex.,""
King's Ex." Wehavebecn reminded of "Than" by the new platform of the old liner?, which we give in another column, and by the speeches of "their orators and tho arguments (?) on the streets and in the shops, of the adherents to old lincism. . Finding Know Nothingism hard after it. and being utterly unable to defend itself against the inroads of the American sentiment that is doomed to drive to tho wall all the deraitjaucs who truckle to un-Americanised foreigners of tho
country, they fall back on their last
Unconstitutional.'
Plain Talk. We like tho plain talk of some of the Iras judicious old line papers, when they get a litt uiaJ. Ordinarily, the small fry editors never venture until they hear from tho Jaclso nian, or tho Cincinnati Enquirer, or
the Sentinel. Bat there arc cases of
emergency, that occasionally call for speaking right out. Suchji case recently occurred in 'Kvansville. The S.ng Nights rado a nomination, n few weeks ago, for Justice of the Peace. Of course he was a foreigner nnd a Catholic, but in I'vansville thwro rc two churches, and two priests a
Itcrmaa and nn Irish. Ilm nominee
was nn Irishman. This gave .great
offense to their Oerman brethren, and
they determined to et up for them
selves. As the election was near nt
hand, Hall could not wa for an arti
ticlo from the Sentinel, or Jacksonian, adapted to tho occasion, so ho "pitch
ed in" on his own hook, und verified the old adage, that fools nnd children will tell the truth. Hear him: "If they . now bring out another candidate it will sec uro tho election of a Know Nothing Justice and it will be the beginning of a split in the Democratic party here which will give the city over to the enemy, and the , terrible consequences will" rest ' upon the few self-willed "rule or ruin," lied Republican Germans. The rights of all should bo regarded other people should be allowed some privileges ns well as tliese disaffected Germans.
Tho tjwnship, city or Sl'tto does not belong exclusively to them. They have rights nnd no one of tho . Xeraocratic party will interfere with them in anyway. But we demand it as one of the rights of the Democratic party that these men should vote the Democratic nominated ticket. We have a right to these votes and will insist upon having them. To withold them will be a violation of plighted faith." s That is ns cool and as frank as any body oould deiirc. Tho contract between the Catholic Germans and the Democratic party, requires wo can't say what on the part of tho Democracy, but according to the Enquirer,' it requires "that these men should vote the Democratic nominated ticket."
See, ho demands it, as on$ of the
ftghU of the party. Wo leave it for our readers to judgo what the party has consented to do, as nn equivalent for this surrender of the right of private judgement, on tho part of the German Catholics of this country. It is unquestionable that thcie is a contract between the parties, but what tho terms are, we cannot tell. As anctlior instance of plain talk when mad, and nol influenced by wis. er and more prudent heads, wo give tho following from the New Albany Ledger of June 1C5-I:
"Tho IMPIDEMT DICTATION Of SOlllC of the turbulent nnd discontcntentcd

Old Lineers and Prohibition. It is a significant fct thai the old line state convention did'nt huppen t know that there was such a queslio.i
as the temperance question in existence. Welearuthat it was ndv'bed to leave that question out of the State platform, and insert it iti the county platforms modiGed to suit the several localities. Where there arc n great many foreigners, t'.iey are to oppose tho wine nnd beer clause, or oppose it altogether, ns the wise" men in the county think best. Where, the question of prohibition is popular, as it is in nil the northern counties, they are to bo in favor of prohibition. On tho whole we think this a very wiso suggestion, for tho anti-prohibitory resolution last year was very fatal to that party. New Albany Tribune and Indiana Journal.

convince any man that it is not susceptible of such a construction. We disapprove of tho policy of the
Hank, but wo cannot bo made to cast
any reflections on the honesty and in

He might even do moro. Tho expenses of the war are becoming very great so great as to make the war unpopular athomc. Oen. Ilobinson could obviate that, by little scripture, lie could not only silence their noisy guns, but make them feed him, too, for the good book says: "If thine enemy hunger, frtJ him; and if he thirst, give him drink."

By the way, we are reminded that
for several years the Doctor has been
aborinz under the painful hallucina
tion that we don't like him, and for the
ife of us we can't discover why, un-
ess it is that we tlaim the right, and
exercise it too, of laving as big feel
ings as he has. One would think this a very harmless right, and so it is, generally, but it made Ilaman mad, of old, and we won't bow down and do
reverence lo any . man, cot even a
brother D. D. .
Tben there is that sweat and blood
story, Nothing but our well known
gtavtiy, keeps us irom laughing right out at that. It is rather a "serious
matter too, to laugh about, but it re
minds us of a neighbor who got his
hand hurt in the Mexican war. He says, when gassing, "without egotism, and without disparaging others," that
he has fought, bled, and been crippled
in the service Of his country. We old
folks know something of the history
of the Ueediny. In the language , of
Shakspeare, or somebody else, thereby hangs a tail, a plain, unvarnished one. but we will not unfold it. If the
"men of yesterday" want to know it, let them ask the Dr., or some other "father of the conference." If we remember concctly, it was at its wont about the time of the Ttrre Haute Conference. ' - Dnt why should the Doctor spesk so harshly of the "men of yesterday?" Some are creen enough to suppose he meant us by that phrase, but this is impossible. The Doctor knows that if our head is not "silvered o'r with

That's a Lie."- What a naughty
caption, for a littlo article, but tho fob
lowing, in tho Cincinnati Enquirer
suggests it:
'Fred. DoudaM j abuut to publish
a book entitled Mg Bondage and Mg
freedom. Of course, it is A libel on
the men of tho South."
Tho Kmpuirer man had never seen
the book, but ntuicipating such A por
trttture of slavery as tho life of any
slave will furniüh, he answers it by the
all poweiful old line argument "that's a lie." Ills, afur all, amusing lo seo
with what fluency tho great men of
thnt party can wield this powerful ar
gument. l'orlray any of lhe evils o
ulavery or whisky or Romanism and
there m but the one argument, "that's
alio."
Sror Tiiur. We have often heart
tell of a thief, hotly pursued, crying
"stop thief, stop thief 1" so as to di
vert his pursurs from him. The fol
lowing resolution adopted by an old
line convention in Jlloomington is o
this kind:
"Ileolved, That those Ministers 0
ihu (ioHi)tl who have been makin
such incendiary appeals to the basest
passions 01 human nature, to array one portion of our eiligen in deadly
fetid against another, ought not to bo
held guiltless by nn indignant pub

minister f tho gospel in Indiana, un
loss it bo a Catholic piiest, that has
ever made nucIi appeals lo tho pas

who have, nnd public indignation is in hot pursuit of them. To avoid the

At a meeting of Democrats from all
parts of tlp State of Indiana, held at Washington Hall, in Indianapolis, on the 3Jth of Aug., Hon. Andrew It.
McCleery, of Franklin Co., was nn-
pointed President, and Ad. Seidenstick-
er, of Marion Co., Secretary.
A committee of eleven was appoin
ted to draft resolutions expressive o
the sense of this meeting as follows:
Win. Culley, ot Jellerson; K. Sla

Mr. Culley, of Jefferson, reported tho following: WiiKittUH, The Democratic Co. vcution)of Indiana, held 011 the 'JOlh inst., paswed resolutions, on national Colilics, which met our hearty approMlion, but failed to express tho sentiment of the Democracy upon a local question deeply affecting the Jinterests of the Statu of Indiana, doubtless for tht reason that tho said quession is now pending before the Supreme Court of the State, nnd it would he indelicate to give an expression of such enliment at this time, therefore Uesolred, That the sentiment entertained by the Democratic parly, that intemperance is a great moral and social evil, meets our concurrence
workings, after an experiment of two
months.
The amount originally invested by he County Commissintrs in the
purr haue of liquors for this Agency,

showing that it was a masterly anli-
and approval; but that wo hero avow our hostility and opposition to the modo nnd manner of checking such evil provided in the enactment of the Legiida'.uru at its last session; believing as wo do, that the existing law, prohibiting the manufacture, sale, and exportation of wine, cider and beer, ns well us spirituous liquors, und providing for the search, rseizuru nnd rohliscation of thu same, is unjust, curtailing, ns it does, the rights of it largu portion of our citizens, and subjecting them to a form of tyranny inconsistent with our Kepublican Institutions. llesolved, That the Demooiatic

He has to guard tho interests of society on the one hand, ani(bo tarcful that individuals hall vhjty their legal rights on lhe other, Inamajoritv of cases, the known irood clivrnctcr for sobriety in
lhe applicant, is sufficient, with barely a fonsal inquiry how tho liquor is to ho used, bit In the case of strangers or doubtful characters, , further investigation is necessary, that the agent may becom fully satisfied that it is not tobe d aniens a beverage. Maiy piisoas have applied f-r li

' There may have been son refused who were justly entitltl to) accommodation, but these hive bi'.n very few if any. Wc believe tint our worthy agent has given li'.neral satisfaction on this point. Thusftir the prohibitory law has wit kedto the admiration of all true fil nds tf temperance nnd good morals. Tleilllegal tr ftio in our city is nlmot (ntireiy abandoned, as a business tint "won't pay." An intoxicated a rson in our streets is now regarded as a ctuiosity. Shouldone happeiiU) appear abroad, ho is speedily natjed by an officer, and then wobetide he person who sold the liquor that beiiddled him.

tor. Iho letter was full of hard
woids some very naughty aords, but we okinped theui. We knjw that he felt bad, and moreover, that he was a D. D., and a President too, writing jut to a local preacher, and a want of tho courtesy duo an equal was exoused. The letter denied : having ever preached such a sermon. Not wuhing to do him any unjustice, we promptly corrected so much of the former article, as charged , him with defending Catholicism, and sent l. im a copy of the paper, and, as far as our t pare pspcrs would go, we sent a copy ofihesatn to the identical "companions of our youth" that " had received tho former. Hut we did more. Intent
old lino document. For instance,' we showed that he was opposed to the admission of slave states into the Union, for the principle that he applies to Utah, applies to slavery as well as Colygamy. Again, in the . contest etwecn Virtue and Vice, which he so eloquently portrays, it requires the Arrot'c man to be decided in the pre vnt contests; and that his exhortation to eevute man, was opposed to tho principles of old lincism, that was for oppressing the poor African; and finally that he closed with real good higher law doctrine.
Hence we exhorted him, modestly,
to 00 sure, to , ' ' ' . v 'Cow oulfroia sitionfit Uit faul psrij" and help us in our war against Bis very and WhUky and Romanism.'
Now we "modestly submil"xt) the reader,' whether ho is not. in duty
bound to send a circular to contradict
the former.
But a word, ns to the original charge. Wo now regret that wa ever
mado any correction except so (ar as
relates to the Uaccslau rente; not be cause our correction has been thus ro
quited, but because we now believe
tho first was true, except that the scr
mon was not the baccalaureate.
Though the Doctor, had not the mag
nammity to send us a circular,' nor
one into this district, that we can hear
of, (though we can hear of thm in
adjoining districts, in this conference,) a brother, a member of the Indiana
Conference, hps sent us one. And he is not "a man of yesterday." He has been u member of Conference more than I6 years; nearly SO, nor. has he ever been arruigend before a committee or his conference for immorality, nor can he say boastingly, as did the good Doctor to us, after being deposed from the Preaiding Eldersh'p at Itushvillc, that the only 1 .-oplaint ever made ngainst him, was u refcrcne to
his moral character. This brother says. in his note nccompiinying the circular; "I know he does apologist Jor Romanism We know, upon authority that is indisputable, thst the Doctor did take Kev. W. Terrell to task, for anti-Homan sentiments delivered in a bible lecturo in Uloomington, and the article which gave rise to our first notice must have had some foundation in truth, or the Doctor would havo corrected it. We venture to say there nre not ten, if there are more than three other Methodist preachers in Indiana, that would not have corrected such a charge instanter. The . very
Jlercenrst with which ho teems to deny
tho charge, is evidence to us that he has given just grounds for the criticism. llut, withal, there are some, very funny things in that circular. The
age," it is nearly as' bald as Älc'Intyres, and we raufrlsoon wear a wig. But the Doctor is not bound to write a circular and then furnish minds to understand it. We opine that in that
very small matter, tho election, he has, in his musings, seen Noble, or Crary, or Green, or tome other man of yesterday, getting the start of him, and he concluded his beloved brethren had sacrificed him, to gratify them. We hopo they will not be 10 crueh We am sure they will not. How can they? Itisknown we don't often lauh, unless we feel like it, but we know some who have laughed heartily at the emphasis the Doctor placet on "MY conference.'! Theae cruel brethren remcmbtr. how adroitly be manaed to transfer himself tut of the "hill couutry," on his return from Genera! Conference, and what sweat and bl tears he shed when
Dishop Ames determined to transft r him back nolent volent. But it is " "MY conference" now and he "Ends it in his heart to live and die with them." Finally, we doubt not, his circular has made an impression. Hundreds have seen it that never saw our article on his backsliding. We have no fear that two out of ail who hare f.een it, believe that our article was either "base," or "malicious," or "slanderous," or "fahf," except that it at
tributed to ono sermon what belonged to another. Whether it hss favorably impressed those to whom it was ' addressed as to the spirit of the Doctor we know not. There may be Ereschcrs who may think that sv 'D. mar speak as contemptuously
as ha nil-asps of what ha rail mall
' " w aw -w Y w v etv f t aj V 14 B)l fry pie Sehers," but most , of , them
think not. We have heard of one decided impression and rrprtsaion. The Doctor sent I ennv In in lil..r1
Udy living on the Ohio Hirer, who knew him when he was merely BrUher Daily. It is hard for old folks to
get tho bang of new names, and quite
hard for tho uneducated to bo always classical In illustrations. After read
ing it tho old lady l'fted up her "specks" and said: "Well. Brother Daily, in this, reminds mt of the politician old John Randolph described. Hi had Quite contradictory qualities, and Randolph said: "lit shines and stinks and slinks and shines, like a rotten mackerel by moonlight." "In concluslonr' we will say that if the Doctor thinks it ill. pay to get oat ano'her circular, let htm "tUcu in." the water Is not deep, and we will see that he is not hurt. And if this paper should fall into the hands of any persons who havv nol teen the Doctor s beautiful circular we hope they will thank him for it. "Ilemember all we have said is ittictly in ir(r Jeftnct." Eer. James Jones. We learn from some friends who have recently visited this venerable mat), that he is becoming quite feeble from palscy. IIa is able to sit up and walk about a littlo by assistance, but he can not go abroad as once he could. His mind is c dm and peaceful, and he Is patiently wailing his chsnge. He will probably not be able to attend Conference again.
