laliaan :Amcritnn. C H. BlNGHRM, Editor. -BKOOKVILLBFtiday Mornios, Angui. C5, 1871. Speaker Blaine on the Situation. Air. Blaioe, Speaker of the House of Iteprescntativcs., was serenade! at tbe Uoia Hotel at Saratoga, N. Y. on the ltitb inst., by one tbeasand people. Wben Mr. lilaine appeared he was greeted ith enthusiastic applause, tie waa introduced by Wm. II. Sackett. After returning thanks for the personal compliment, Mr. lilaine went on to fay that it seemed to him there never was a time vfcen there was Jess need of speeches, or when the facts on rraWic record carried with them their wa arguments. The two great parties must fee jadge not by professions, but by acts. The Republican are in full power in Washington the Democrats in Nevr York. There is no need to draw the picture which this brace of facts presents to wry intelligent mind. In Washington, every dollar of surplus fands i applied to paying the national debt, while in New York every dollar that can be wrung from tax payers Is applied to the benefit of the private ring. Since the inauguration, two tmadred aud fifty millions of the debt have been paid, and this payment haB been made wbile taxes are repealed, including eighty millions per annum. Without the aid of the leadership of Tammany, it will be impossible for the Democrats to carry New York, and without the State of New York their chance ia '72 is no worth reckoning. The power of Tammany, with its money in the North, and power of torrorlsm in the South, are weapons relied on by the Democrats to carry the national eonteat next year. Were it not for this we should have peaca to-day throughout the length and breadth of the land. The united appeals by the ten aspirants for the Presidential nomination by the Democra cy would produce peace in the South. This brings to the test the sincerity of the new departure. What is the new derjartnre? Whv certain constitutional amendments having been regularly adopt ed and ratified, the Democracy refused to abide by them. In several instances every Democratic member of Congress voted gainst the resolutions in the House, declaring these amendments to be of binding force; but the late Mr. Vallandigham, dis covering this was incipient rebellion, ealU ed 'Halt!' and the party in the North gen. erally obeyed, resolving, upon the whole, that they would agree to submit to the Constitution of the United States, and this law abiding spirit being so unusual with that party and the sensation of constitu tional obedience to be so novel, they, with one consent, called it a new departure; but we must be pardoned for a little incredulity as to the sincerity of the new departure until we see it bear fruit. We will pray and hope for the best, yet all the while be tortured with distrust. When every man in the United States enjoys his full rights under the Constitution, by the co operation of the Democratic Party, then we shall have faith in the sincerity of this sudden conversion. Ha pointed to Democratic rule in New York as false to the first principles of religious liberty, and aiming a deaJly blow at American liberty in attempting to Interfere with the Urange procession, and demanded for Protestants and Catholics alike the right to celebrate their anniversaries ia their own way. With the course of the Democrats he contrasted the policy of the Republican Party, which showed no favoritism to any religious sect, and was true to the spirit of the Declaration of Independence as to the law of the Constitution. He also eulogised its foreign policy, which was one of peace, and its history contained no more brilliant chapter than that which recorded the Treaty of Washington. Our differences with England were graver thin those which existed between France and Germany; but we had settled in a wise and Chtistian spirit questions which might have led to a greater war than that just ended in Europe. The speaker concluded with a gtowing description of the progress and present prosperity of the country under the Republican Administration. He pointed to the continent without a slave; a constitution petfect in all the elements of civil rights and personal liberty; the increasing financial confidence, and a nation of forty millions, the freest, happiest and moat prosperous on the globe. Col. MeCook to Retire from the Democratic Ticket. The Louisville Courter-JouroU publishes a letter from a correspondent at Cincinnati, which says a rumor previls there that Central MeCook, the Damocratic eiftdidalefor Covernor of Ohio, will be j compelled to withdraw from the ticket as he has from the canvass. It is even sail be is deranged, and tht his speeches at Tiymouth and Chilltcothe give color to this report. It Further MVS should MeCook withdraw, an effort will be made to induce General Kwing to take his place, but doubts of Ita success. The famine and plague io lVria. it is asserted, are more terrible than ha as yet teen reported. tl37,!3Q575 of the principal of th Tublia Debt was paid during the fiscal year ending June 30ih. The cholera i causing considerable pprtbtcnilou in New Votk City,

Finan6ial. T1iiurionement that Secretary Soulwell bad completed arrangements Tot facing tt remainder f the new five pelcent bonds, was s nelpected as tt was gratifying. The gteat amount of woVk reauired ro 3oat the first seventy taillions had led the public to tefatl the failure of the remaining one hundred and thirty millions as a foregone conclusion; aud we may Tie sure that this favorable tesalt has not been brought about without a vast deal of financiering and planning by Secretary BoutweU, Judge Richardson, and other assistants. The Administration could not afford to go 'rate another Presi dential campaign with the onus of a fund ing failure. All hands, Jtherefere. have put their abouiders to the wheel asrd lifted the f ve per cents. Immediately following ttis ccess Secretary Brutwell wisely withdraws the four per cent bonds and the r,,r . faslf ner cent. The retreat is thus covered by the prestige of success, and the Administratita scapes the odium of defeat. The escape, however, has been a narrow one. What Secretary Boutwell just now discovering, our financiers discovered at the stattj vi., that the funding scheme could hot succeed without the forcing clause, and that the National Banks would nevr permit this proviso to get beyond the Ways and Means Commit tee in the House. Mr. Boutwell will now agree that people will not take four and four and a half per cent for their money when they can obtain six, seven, and ten per cent, and that his funding scheme was a little premature. Anti-Infallibility Movement. A correspondent of a N. Y. City paper bas interviewed the great heads of the German anti-infallibility movement Doellinger, Huber, and b'reidrichs. Writing from Munich, August 1, he represents thatDoellinger's cause is gaining strength, and that its leaders believe it will result in the inauguration of a general reform in the Catholic Churcb. throughout Germany. The movement must spread to other countries Austria, Switserland, and Italy where there are already violent political struggles against Ultramontanism. The opinion that Bismarck is warring against the Catholic Church is confirmed, and it is believed that Germany will not main tain the infallibility dogma, to which, and . to the syllabus or encyclical letter of the Pepe of 1834, condemning and rejecting the modern liberties, there was strong op. position manifested. Dr. Doellinget again disclaimed any intention of establishing a new religion, or separating from the Catholic Church. What was necessary was a general ecclesiastical reformation a throwing away of the errors which have crept into the church, and' tbe establishment of a religion in conformity with the more modern demands and national characteristics of the German race. The Catholics and Their Leaders. The Boston Pilot, the leading Irish Catholic journal of tbe country, calls upon all Irihhmen to repudiate the so-called leaders of the Irish people in New York City, asserting that tbe hot-headed and incendiary utterances of a few fanatics, whose assumed leadership is a gross imposition, are not to be interpreted as expressing the sentiments of the Irish citieens, who, as a class, throughout the country condemn the July riots. The Lierosse (Wisconsin) Republican gives the following particulars of tho death of the Clark children, at Lynchburg, Visconsin: It seems that tho widow Ciark, for the effeose of beating his young er brother, had punished her oldest boy, aed aboa fourteen. This bo enraged him that he jeof a tope, went into the woods, and hun himself, but was discoveredaod cut down latere be was seriously injured. Toward nigh he young ruffian was sent to build a fire, ll.s d?d so, and then got a can of kerosene, called the other children to him on some precise, and, pouring kerosene upon the fire, H were burned to death by the explosion. In response to application from distillers the Commissioner of Internal Beve nue decides the law give9 him no power to extend the time for the payment-of taxes. .. Up to Monday applications had been made in advance to , the houe of Jay Cooke, in London, for over $20,000,000 of the new loan, i The Election Committee of the French Assembly are divided upon the question of prolonging Thiers power, nine being iu favor of it aod six opposed. Tbe Internal Revenue receipts for the yes i ending June 1, 1871, amounted to $144,011,724, being $41,000,000 less than the year previous. t!p to the close of the last fical year the total amount of the defalcations of delinquent Internal Revenue officers amouuted to ?2,7G3,3'J7. Up to the close of tha last fiscal year the totat amount of Internal Revenue paid into the Treasury was $l,tiOS,SG5,543.

Warsaw has been singularly uofortuoate in being vibited by destructive fires About three years ago two large hotels and some adjoining buildings were burned, entailing a loss of $75,000. In January of this year about thirty thousand dollars' worth of business houses and dwclliugs were destroyed. Last Sunday rjiEht, about 12 o'clock, thirteen builJings, including one church, somo dwelling houses, a livery stable, &o., were eaten up bv the fire Gend, destroying, in tho aggregate, about fifty thousand dollars worth of property. Sixty-nine counties of North Carolina, embracing more than two-thirds of the .State, give an aggregato majority against a b,'tte Convention of 9,349. The proposed Cjnvetion was a favorite scheme of the reactioni.:''" nd unreconstructed. Its design was the ttbstitution of the old aristocratic Coostituw'on of the State, slavery excepted, for the ae and liberal one that is now in force. The attempt, it will seen, is a failure. be Test.

More About the "Good war .Rec

ord" of Mr. HenoncK.8. The Indianapolis Journal has been en gaged for some time in a fruitless searon for Mr. Hendricks' -exce41eot war record" teccntly claimed to beloug to him. Even its long-proffered offer of $1,0(70 for a speech in which he advocated during the war a suppression of the rebellion by force of arms, has not been taken yet by his friends or enemies. But the Journal has learned somethingof Mr. Hendricks pub lic performances during tbe warthat may be of interest to his political friends, We Quote: In June. 1863, a large number of Union soldiers were in Indianapolis, and among them were exchaged prisoners who bad just been aent within our ltns a. otase Democratic mass meetiog was held in the State Ilonse yard. Mr. Joseph fi. Mc Donald, whose Rebel procltvities, if h had any, were of tbe milder sort, was suffered o speak his mind freely, and even Voorhees, the King of Blatherskites, was suffered to talk without molestation. But wben Hendricks began to speak, the sol diers, instinctively recognising in him a most dangerous and malignant foe to the Union caue, made a rush for the staud, while ries of'down him," "kill the trai tor," were uttered by a good many of the boys in blue. An ofijeer rushed between the advancing soldiery aod the platfoTtu where Mr. Ilenlricks was, and commanded them to halt, and toid them them they would ba shot down if they did not desist. They answered that they might as well be killed fighting Rebels in ltveLiana as in the South, and in response to an inquiry as to what Mr Hendricks bad done to provoke them "they replied-: "He has said too much; he lias said too much." The disturbance was quelled at length, and Mr. Hendricks left the ground under the friendly escort of a prominent Republican, and reached his room in safety. Another incident: The day after the assassin ation of Mr. Lincoln a mass meeting was held in State House squire. By invitation Gov. Morton Mr McDonald and Mr. Hendrick were upon the Btand. Mr. McDonald was allowed to speak, but when Mr. Hendricks arose there was a general cry of '"down with him," and a soldier in the crowd started for the platform declaring "that man shall not spoak." Gov. Morton interceded, and at his request Mr. Hendricks was permitted io sy a few words. We aro not defending the men who would have silenoed Mr. Hendricks, but we allude to these incidents to 6how that he failed to impress tho people of Indiana with the belief that he was a War Democrat. Reply to Mr. Burgoyne. Aurora. Ind, Auuusr 211371. Ed. American, In your issue of the 11th iost. we notice a labored effjrt in behalf of McDonald Cheek, by ono H. N. Burgoyne no doubt a well meaning man, but surely a misinformed man, or ono who is too philanthropio to dasire the enforcement of the law. ' His reasoning is a curious tissue of absurdities. Ho knows noth ing about Cheek, but supposes ho looks like a man, 'tint ha onca possessed all ths fine sensibilities of s juI tint eaoob'.o our natures.' 'th it his offiasjs g-snarally par. took more of tho negative thin of the poi itive.' that he has not 'regarded hitn as a bold, daring, reckless, bad ram ' Weil, let Mr Bjirgoyno go into tlu neighborhood where Check h.-u livid all hU life and enquire, and ho will fi id he has mistaken every point We would not wUh to harm McDonald Cheek, and would be as glal to see him live a reformed lite as Mr. Burgoyne, but when the safety of a community is at stake we desire to see the laws upon which we lean for safety enforced to tha latter Cheek is not an oif-'ast, b it has been possessed of both fortune and friends, whom he has by his conduct forfeited, and yet his brothers stand by hiui with a commendable aeal, rendering him all tho defense which tuouay and energy oia bring to bear. We don't kno tint we could havo bosn induced to mako any rejoinder to Mr. Burgoyne, had it not been evident that ho miscomprehended the whole case. He seeks, in a petition, to throw doubts upon the good reparation of the murdered man's family, and charges that Cheek is .not under sentence for murdering Harrison, but by the prejudice of the people of Dearborn County brought to bear aunt his bad character According to Mr. B irgoyne's reasoning a nisn of notoriously bad char acter who commits a crime should go free while a man of good character, if be committed the same crime, should bo punish ed. McDonald Cheek bas committed the crime that merits the extreme penalty; is so pronounced by the law; and if it is not executed the people will lose confidence in the efficiency of law, and tho horrors of lynch wi'l take place. If Mr. Burgoyne desires to petition, let hitn come -to Dearborn County to procure signers. He will not ba molested nor exhaust a great amount of ink in recording names. M. B. Kerr. The New York riot did not satisfy tho Irish Catholics of the Empire State. One Baron Decarmin, who claims to ba an exCatholic priest aod member of tho Ioquisit.0'' of France, whatever that may be, attempted to lecture against Popery, at Ogdenburg, Tuesday night, whereupoo tbe Roman Catholics present violently assaulted the speaker and broke up the meeting. He was to speak agaia on Wednesday evening, under protection of the police, but the hall, for which he had paid, was refused him. We haven't any particular faith in the 'Baron,' as gentlemen of that type are apt to be a tittle bogus; but Catholicism is a pretty poor affair if it cannot stand an adverse lecture without resorting to blows; and this ia a very curious country if we must withhold our voices from speaking against Popery for fear of a violent death. The Local Democrat o Association of New York City has passed resolutions de nouociog Governor Hoffman for his oours in reference to the riots, and declaring that they will oppose his election to ny office. It has been decided that the Frenoh Assembly w HI remain at Versailles.

The Kankakee Drainage Swindle, cannot tell that away down at the botIndianapolis, August 15. torn of this difficulty was that promoter of rr, . . .,.,,,., f strife, discord and murder, 'noble whisky.' The representatives of bO 000 acres of ' . ' Anntrv . ' ,

land in tho Kankakee Valley met this morning and adopted the following reso lutions, and agreed to employ counsel to figut the operations of tho drainage com pany. 'llesolvcd. That it is the sense of this meeting that steps should be taken immediately to resist the encroachments of the Kankakee Valley Draiuage Company and other companies organized under the fraudulent and most infamous laws of 186 J aud 1871. '21. That the organizitioa of a oompany composed of uon residents, who propose to force a lien upon (iOO.OJO acres of land situated in the Kaiika&ea Valley, and mortgago the same to the extent ot $4,637,122, without the knowiedgo or consent of the land owners, is a fraud monstrous in its conception and a violatiou of the rights of the citizens. '3d That the proposition of the Company to issuo $2,000,000 of bonds, secured by mortgago on these lands, the principal payable in goid, iuterest payable semiannually iu gold, free of U S. government tax, is au unwarranted assumption of pow er on the part of tho Company, and that the bonds being issued iu fraud of the rights of the land owners, and contrary to law. will resu'.t in a fraud upon the purchasers thereof. '4th. That as this pretended Kankakee Drainage Company know, as they must know, that they have no power to lower tho Ktnkikee River at theStato Line one inch; that they can not accomplish what they propuSJ to do; therefore it is an effort on their part to rob the people of their lands upon an absolute false pretense.' The Naw York World, and other Democratic papers, having stated, and reiterated again and again, that there is no such thing as a Ktt Klux organizition io the South, are compelled to yield at last to the overwhelming evidaucs already given before the Congressional Committee, and to avoid its eiTjct th?y aro now claiuiiug that the K i-Klux 'aro worthless creatures, who hide under sheet and mask to wreak a private vengoanae,' and that politics has nothing to do with their bloody work. This will not do Thare are several stubborn, conclusive facts that effectually diapose of that ddfenso. How happens it, if politics has nothing to do with the operations of the Ku-Klux, that all the victims of Ku-Klux outrages are Republicans; and that of the thousands who have been whipped and hung by the miscreants 'hid under sheet and mask,' not one is a Democrat?

Whether the city government of Now York is good or bad, it is at any rata such a government as the people have formed and sustained, and it will stand or fall upon its merits.' That ia about as satisfactory a way of getting rid of an unpleasant subject as could be imagined. It hiving been charged and proved that Mossrs.
