1Y . H BINGHAM, Editor. KOv lWll,.L.M Friday Ksrning, CtrtobatC, 1871. How Fancied Democracy Renounced. Mr. Pendleton's inflite.I currency peheme (sayi the Times and Chronicle) is TcMn? on the letters cf the Democracy, ml biJs fir to add no little to the overwhelming defeat awaiting them in Ohio on the second Tuesday of this month. An old steadfast Democrat, who ir President cf th Third Ward McClellan Democratic Club in Cincinnati during the Presidential campaign of 1SG4, and has voted for all the Presidential nominees of that party from anterior to the repeal of the Missouri Compromise down to Horatio Seymour, says he cannot be led to adopt the Gnuc'ul vagtries of Mr. Pendleton, who ia now steering the Democratic ship by his favorite greenback ar. He lay that experience teaches bim that an indited, irredeemable currency is a Curse to the workiug man, and that hereafter he shall give his vote to the Republican party eo long as it adheres to the policy it has adopted ia bringing the currency up to a specie standard. lie thinks the Democratic leaders are hypocritical in their professions of aevjuiesence in the constitutional amendments, and if in p wer would render nugatory the most esseutial provisions thereof, by insisting on leaving their enforcement to the people of the States. lie also believes in the clear constitutionality and necessity of the lat of Congress guaranteeing the enforcement by the Federal Government of the rights of the people under the Constitution, irrespective of race or color, in all the States cf the Uuion, "any law or regulation therein" to the contrary notwithstanding; and believes now, as be believed Stephen A. Douglas, when, speaking for the Democratic part; on the floor of the United Statea Senate in 1859, io advocacy of a similar law to the one known as the KuKlux Hill, he proclaimed "that the laws to be executed are the laws of the Uuion the insurreotioua to be suppressed are those against the Federal authorities" and the transgressors "shown the prison doors and dismal cells in which they will drag out a miserable existence." This old Democrat, who is a practical working man, gives it as his belief that if the Democratic party, as now organised and trained, obtain full control of Federal affairs, they will bring about a financial erasb, the effects of which will be more disastrous to the working interests than anything heretofore transpiring in the bistorv of the country. lie maintain thatFirst They will abolish all internal taxation, wiping out all revenue from this ource. Second They will reduce the tariff to a standard that will barely yield sufficient revenue in specie to pay the salaries of the officers of the General Government. Third For all other debts and current expenses of the Govsrnmeut they will issue greeubacks. Amidst the ehaos that will follow these acts, be believes that a spirit of opposition to the Union throughout the Southern States will be inaugurated, resulting in driving from their soil every niau not of their own way of thinking. Ho says be has been a passenger in the Democratic ship through the perils of the repeal ot the Missouri Compromise and the rebellion, but he now plainly sees she is approaching a whirlpool in the direction ol which none but bliod pilots would steer. With these convictions, which have forced themselves up mi his mini after nitture deliberation aad investigation, he deems it his duty to vote the Republican ticket as a unit at the coming election. We can give the name uf this iuflaen tial Democratic working man one ot many who have determined to cut loose from the deaioralizji and crumbling Democracy to ail inquiring doubters. lie has no desire for nepaper notoriety, and does not wish to see bis name in priat, but i assures us that the above correctly represent his views as voluntarily stated to us. Party Jfurification. There can be no more hopeful sign in the politic it sky than a general disposition on the part of the people to purify the parties to which they belong by the expulsion of corrupt leader,-; aud just now this disposition is manifesting itself in more iircc'.ions than one. The frauds of the Tammany conspirators have been grievous wrongs on the people, and the people aro bringing tho perpetrators to punishment. Hut in additiou to the direct movement, wholesome enough ia i;fclf, various representative bodies in the Petuccratio party have formally repudiat'i ; tneu wiio have so sinned, atid a r argiuxx uioo of that party is promised, oj a prr and b-tter basi.s. A leading j-iuroai Iws well said that there can be no j,.iiru-jl net j rai i-xeept through ptrty orgaiMHtioi; and blieiiug this to be true, vi uiust all njiiea when either of the great p ditiaal partus of tho day expels corruption aad the workers of corruption from its ranks A larga nuniber of thieve and pick". p5ke aueiiuod tha Cambridge City Fair lat week.

Punishment of Polycamy. The disposition in this country to tolerate every man's religion, however absurd its tenets may be, leads us sometimes to overlook positive crimes when they hide themselves behind the forms of religious belief The people of Illinois drove the Mormons from Nauvoo, but they bailt themselves a city in Utah, and the government has so long giveu them there a quasi recognition that any interference with them now teems almost a violation

of vested right. Yet Utah is a part of the country's domain, aad poljgRjy is as much a crime there as it is in Massachusetts or Mississippi, a fact to which a judge in Charging a Geutile grand jury Las recently directed attention, with an urgent appeal to the j irymen to iudict the leading offenders first, as a warning to tha rest, it was confidently believed that the grand jury wouid do its duty, aud we can trust the judge who excluded the Mor mons from jury service to see that their crimes are duly investigated and punished. In short, here is another indication ol coming trouble with tha Mormons, who havo already shown a decided disposition to reseat all Government interference. It eems a little odd, just at this juncture. that these confessed criminals are allowed to buy a large quantity of arms and am munition, as they did at a recent Government sale. That Brighatn Young wheu pressed to extremities will resort to arms is scarcely doubtful, and it seems hardly a wiso policy for the Government against which be is in practical rebellion to sup ply him ia advance with the munitions of war. The French and the Italians. Ideas of liberty are somewhat confused in Continental Europe, and it is hardly safe to estimate the liberties of any Euro pean people by the form of their government. The French, with a nominally republican rule, were foi bidden to celebrate the establishment of their present Government, lest they should become disorderly and overthrow it. The Italians, on the other hand, laying no great claims to the possession of popular liberty, have full licens to honor themselves and their nation in a general rejoicing on the anniversary of their recovery of the capital The telegraph tells us that the celebration ou the 20th of September was one of great popular enthusiasm, unmarred by governmental repressions on the ono hand, or popular disturbances on the other. The Italians seem to be showing that worthiness for personal freedom which is the best guarantee of its possession. Virginia Republican Convention. The Republican Convention, at Richmond, Va., last week adopted resolutions affirming its devotion to the Republican party, and pledged thejparfy in Virginia to support a tariff which, w'.iilo securing the necessary revenue, shall give iucidental protection to American industry. It favored also a banking system a Hording a safer, uniform currency, and absolute security to bill-holders; tho policy of extending government aid to the States, improving their rivers and hirbors; tho ab solute payment of all obligations of the government; a sufficient yearly reduction of the national debt to convince the world of the determination ultimately to extinguish it, while at the same lime, to avoid burdening the people with oacrous and unnecessay taxation: iudorsing the administration of President G:aut, and favoriug his reuomination. Burning of a Ladies' Car. The train which left Cineiuuati on Sunday uight on the Ohio& Mississippi Railroad met with quite a disaster near the towu of Shoals, at about daylight on Sun day, which resulted in the total destruction by fire of tho ladies' car. The first intimation of the fire was the discovery by one of the passengers of flumes issuiug from the roof of the car. The passengers were aroused, aud, loarniag tho Jauger they were in, several of iheui took hold of the bell-rope, wiih a view to stopping the train. The engineer, supposing the cotd to he simply too tight, did not heed the signal until it had been repeated several times. The train being checked, the burning car was pushed off on a switch and allowed to burn to the grouud. Some clothing was-Tost, Init-Dtherwise tho passengers escaped the flumes. Tho postal money order system between this country and Great Britain went into operation oa Monday. By using the intcruatioual system via Swi zrlaud, remittances cau bo made by money orders to the cities iu AttrU, llissia, Sweden, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Turkey, Egypt, the East Indies, and China. For a distance of tiventy-Sve miles along tho Vabh Rkilroad, between New Haveu, In J., and Defiincj, a terriole contligratiou is rging. Vood, feacos, and everything are burniug. Farmers are plowing around their houses to save them. W. S Ilolman aud V. E. Niblack are mentioned as tha D';n K-r&tic candidates for Governor next rear. Roth are now io Congress, the forme. from the Third, and the latter from the First District. Brightu Youug wis arrested at Salt Lake, on Monday, on an indictment charging hiui with unlawfully cohabiting with sixteen women. It is said he has also beeu indicted for murder.

Cheek's Case Continued. 1 fiod McDonald Cheek where I left him milling in Aurora, lie supposed he bad reason to suspect his wife's fidelity. Fully recognizing the general principle that she, io common with all suspected persons, should be deemed innocent until proven guilty, he determined to await developments. About the 28th of June of the year '70, he went into the country to barvest, leaving the Clems and his wife to manage his domestic affairs. He contin ued to harvest until about the 22ad of July. Judge of his surprise when, on returning home one afternoon, he found himself minus his wife, his boarders, and a large portion of his household goods. A dray had been procured, and those things had all been removed to another tenement, where the lady and the boarders had gone regularly into the business of housekeeping. Mrs. Cheek told her husband at first sight that she would live with him no louger; that she intended to live with Mr. Clem. An open rupture did not then take place. They got along, bat 1 do not know how, until the lady made confessions to her husband aud other persons of her intimacy with Clem. Mac could stand it no longer. The whole cooscrn blew up, aud they parted, perhaps to meet no more. 1 will uot minutely pursue this narrative further. Suffice it to say, the Clems and Cheek became extensively engaged in lawsuits. Warrants were issued, security given, fines assessed, costs paid, and the quarrel grew wider and higher, until it culminated in -that tragic scene in th presence of Doctor Kyle. I now propose to give the more important part of this history, aud that is the part Air. Harrison took in this extended drama. The statements which I now make, together with those 1 have made, are not upon uiy own authority. 1 personally know nothing of the affair. 1 have vouchers which I presume are reliable, for all I have said aud all I intend to say. Mr. Harrison is not here to apeak for himself He has left probably a respectable family aud a circle of respectable friends. These things would admonish us to bo silent. And I assure the reader, that although I write at the instance and upon the authority of another, I should not lend my agency in the matter, did I not honestly believe that justice to the condemned mau required it. It may be thought by many that it is a small affair to make such a fuss about the rights and interests of McDonald Cheek. It should be recollected, however that in protecting his rights we protect the rights of every man iu Indiana, and, indeed, in the nation. Just such a question as the oae now at issue between Mc Donald Cheek upon tho one hand and the paople of the White Water Valley upon thi other has made more bad blood iu the country than any or perhaps all the questions ever mooted iu it. Some of the most brilliaut intellects which ever enlightened the land have been brought to bear upon it. The argument, the ingenuity of the nation, have been exhausted upon it, and it has beeo left just about where it was found; and that is, how to pro tcot the rights of the minority against the will of the majority? how to protect a moiety of the people, as well as the man in the cell, against undue outside tnuti ences. Will justice and reason do it? They have tailed in some instances; we hope they will not in this. Mr. Harrison and his son-in-law Chek got along apparently very well until Check aud his wife begau to quarrel. A coldness then came in between them. Mr Harrison would call at Cheek's house to seo his daughter when he knew Cheek was not at Lome, thus giving him the cold shoulder. No open rupture took piace between them until Check and the Ciems got at sword's point. We now introduce another actor upon the stage Mr. Straw der Cheek, a gentleman residing in Auro ra, and half brother to McDonald. This gentleman is said to be a mau of veracity, a reliable man, and withal a man of considerable wealth, if that will do any good He counts his eighty to one hundred thousand. It would seem that whenever McDonald would make a proposition to his father-ia-lavr to adjust their dilSoulties, it would bo done through this Mr. Strawdcr Cheek; that he occupied the place of a negotiating minister between the parties; aud, much to his credit, it seems he would have bound the balm of Gilead to those bleeding wounds. Mr. Cheek says positively that Harrison did side with the Clems, and thus connive at the infamy of his daughter; that when he (Cheek) would make a proportion to Hariison to adjust the difficulty io any way, Harrison would act faithlessly, and when asked why he did o he would rep'y that "wen do not always do as they say;", that when Cheek would tell Harrisou that he had not complied with his promises, but had acted faithlessly, Harrison would reply, "Well, what if I did?" thus giving insulting and evasive answers. Cheek fur ther positively asserts that Harrison did offer Clem 100 to take Mac's wife and take her out of the country; that he told C!cm under certain circumstances to shoot Cheek. However incredible these statements may seem to be, it is feared they are too true. 1 have examined a printed document of the highest authority which goes far to establish their truth, aside from the repeated assertions of Mr. Cheek that be has good testimony to establish the whole of it. I will see you again next week. H. N. Buri'OTNE. Our report of the Clem case, now being heard at Lebanon, gives notice of a move on behalf of the State which will give rise to the deepest interest in this community, and in ail other localities cognizant of the principal features of the ghastly murder of ti.e Youngs. Upon the opening of court. General Harrison moved the Court for an order for the production of Wm. J Abrams as a witness for the prosecution. The order was granted, and he will b moved from Michigan City at once, and repair to Lebanon. Mr. Abrams' appearance on the witness stand will be understood as indicative of his intention to make a clea n breast of the entire conspiracy us it is believed to have been and au authoritative cleaning up of this cele brated aud mysterious case. We shall give our readers his evidence iu fuU, as be details it before the court and jury. f Journal. Gov. Senter, cf Tennessee, will send no message to the Legislature at its coming meeting.

Mr. BoutwelTs Speech.

One ol the best audiences ever convened at an in-door political gathering in this oity listened to the great speech of Secre tary Routwell last night. Atter cicany drawing the line which Las separated the two parties during the last ten years, and coucissly stating the fruits of Republican rule, tho distinguished speaker proceeded to d ecuss tho financial questions ot the hour, with reference to the declarations of the Ohio Democratic platform on that sub ject. His statement ot the policy ot the Administration and its results, in regard to.fiuance, was clear and convincing, and cannot fail to make a profound impression on all thinking men of whatever political principles. The great reduction of the debt, the reduction of the premium on gold from 32 per cent , as it stood when President Grant was inaugurated, to 12 or 14 per cent., as it stands to day, and the large diminution of taxation, direct and indirect, as set forth by the h?ad of the Treasury Department, are facts more eloquent than any rhetoric. This practical demonstration of the wisdom of the Administration policy, and of the fidelity and success with which it has been carried out, affords of itself an overwhelming condemnation of the proposal to experiment with a new-fangled greeuback and repudiation scheme, urged in opposition by the Democrats of Ohio. In addition to the grand results already shown, Mr. Bdutwetl explained the further important benefits to be gained by the policy just entered upon, of funding the debt at a lower rate of interest, thereby securing an annual reduction of not less than 20,000,000 in the amount of interest paid. This part of his speech, establishing fhe gratifying fact that the loan has already been so far tested as to insure its complete success, will be read with attention by all, of whatever party, who wish to see the nation el obligations fairly met and the great burden gradually falling away with the least practicable hardship to the tax-payers of the nation. In regard to maintaining the credit of the Government pure and unsullied, free from any taint of bad faith or repudiation, the Secretary' utterances are clear and noble. The folly of ruining the good name of the Government as a debtor by little tricks and tamperings and greenback evasions, contrary to the spirit and intent of the coutract, was never presented in a more forcible light. We need uot, however, attempt to recapitulate the salient points of this timely and convincing speech. Let all read and carefully consider it as a calui and candid review of .In financial coiJition , wants and prospects of the country, from a source so distinguished, and so thoroughly conversant with the whole question, damands. " Times and Chronicle., 29th. Tammany. New York, Ocfober 2. Judgc Bamard settled the injunction question to-day by adopting portions of three orders submitted, lhe new order restrains the payment of moneys without the indorsement of Andrew II. Green, Comptroller, and prohibits the raising of money without the sanction of the Board of Apportionment. There is creat excitement this morning in political circles over the forthcoming Rochester Convention. The Tammany 'King is -working 'to secure its representation. The reform Democracy hope to smash the hopes of the Ring with the country Democracy. Tho Ri g delegation is tainted. If it is recognized there will be an effectual division iu the ranks cf the Democracy. Judge Barrett Bays that if it is found that any of the thieves who are to be proceeded ngainst attempt to flee they shall be arrested immediately.

Throughout the day there has been great excitement, in anticipation of the arrest of some of the ringleaders. It is definitely known that measures were con cocted to arrest Hall and Tweed, with some others connected with the city frauds. Republican Victories in Connecticut., New Haven, Oct. 3.

Judge McKean, of Utah, last week rendered a decision that Mormons caa oot. sit on the grand jury, as that body mas indict bigamists, and the Mormons do not believe bigamy a crime. The recent Colorado election resulted, as near as can yet be ascertained, in a two thirds Republican majority in tha Legislature Both Houses of the last Legislature were Democratic.

The New York Convention

The Cookling-Murphy management has carried the New York Convention, and secured the possession of all the machinery of the party organisation. It now remains to be seen whether by this the Republican party has beeo united and invigorated for the contest against the Democratic possession of the State government. It is evident that this point was gained by a strong practice, which is not far from a disfranchisement of the majority that refused to accept Conkling and Murphy as the dictators. To outsiders, the management does not look promising for a vigor ous campaign against the Democracy. The Tribune, however, while it denoun ues this disfranchisement, and spits upon the platform, declares for a united contest for honest government against the Tammany thieves. Its policy is to suspend the intestinal conflict until the Republican party has carried the State and put in au honest government. This is equivalent to an indefinite postponement; for the management which puts an honest government into power in New York will deserve to stand. An honest government will be such a rarity in that State that even Mr. Greeley will not have the heart to raise a new internal conflict to endanger its influence. The popular conviction of the Demo cratic government of New York City of stupendous robbery has created an oppor tunity which ought to make the redemp tion of the State easy to the Republicans But the result of this convention places Murphy at the bead of the Republican organisation io the city, and makes him its representative man; and, unfortunately, minds which are clear in regard to the Tammany knavery may be distracted when Murphy appears as the leading man of the other side, lhe gain ot departing from Tweed to Murphy may not be paipa ble. A truce has been forced for the contest against the Democracy; but it is evident that it is only a suppression of the open expression of a conflict which continues to rage within. Gazette.
