The Journal is in a muddle. It 1* discussing a question which It evidently doe* not comprehend. In Us issue of yesterday, la an article upon the public debt question, the iol-
lowlng appear*:
“ The act of Congress creating 41 live-twen-ties’’ expressly declares that the principal shall ho paid in coin, and the stipulation 1*

sequent to the act making treasury notes a legal tender, and can not tnerefore he effected by that whatever grounds there may bo as to the method of paying the “ flve-twentics ” there can be none as to the "ten-forties” under the law; yet the IlKiiAi.rq the organ of the repudlators. geld gamblers, and Senator Hendricks, says the "ton-forties” must not be paid in coin, but in currency. The express terms of the law goes for nothing, good faith and common honesty go for nothing.” And then the bondholders' organ, in a melancholic tit, exclaims: "This is repudiation, rank, dishonest, scoundrelly ropudlstlon.” If anything can be made out of the Journal's argument which we have quoted above, it Is that the contract of the Government with tbo "ten-forty” bondholders must bo fllled—that Is, tho payment of the principal and Interest of tho ten-forty bonds must bo in gold, otherwise "the express terms of tho law goes for nothing; good faith and common honesty go for nothing." We presume the Journal will not deny but all tho bonds Issued by the Government previous to tho passage of tho act making Treasury notes a legal tender, both principal and interest, aro redeemable In gold. In isic 17 the people of Indiana made an arrangement with the creditors of tho State for the settlement of their outstanding Indebtedness. and agreed to Issue new bonds for one* half thereof, redeemable •» /«“r» * n d to bear ore per cent, yearly interest, payable In the city of New York semi annually. This arrangement was completed, now bonds wore Issued, "and for the payment of the Interest and the redemption of tlio principal aforesaid, the faith of the Htste oi Indiana is irrevocably pledged,” was "the express terms of tho contract." Si ction ten, of the first article of Iho Constitution of the United states, provides that “no state shall make anything but gold and silver coin a lender in payment of debts.” The contract between tho State of Indiana and her creditors made in RHC-47, catno under this provision of the Constitution. Tho payment of the Interest and the redemptlan of the principal of tho bonds Issued under that contract was to be In gold, and to that "the failh of the stato of Indiana was irrevocably pledged.” The act passed by Congress making treasury notes a legal tender can not and does not relieve tho State from tho obligation to pay thoso obligations In gold. And if they are not so paid, “ tho express terms of the law goes for nothing, good faith and common honesty go for nothing.” Wo may say, in fact, that the failure of tho State to fulfill Its pledge, Us good faith, in that regard, "is repudiation, rank, dishonest, scoundrelly repudiatlon.” For tho past five years, Indiana has occupied, and yet occupies tho position of a repudiator, according to the argument of the Journal. During that time, Instead of paying the bondholders in gold, according to contract, she has been paying the interest In greenbacks, a depreciated currency, and recently she paid about a million of dollars of the principal of her debt, by substituting therefore another kind of Indebtedness, worth a lit tie over one-half what it represents upon its face. And all this has been done with tho approval of Governor Mokton, tho Journal, and all of that class of Republicans who profess to have a horror of repudiation equal to that of a mad dog for water. Not one of them has ever raised a word of objection to this " rank, dishonest, scoundrelly repudiation.” On the other hand, MonroW, for this Infamy transpired under his administration of the Stato government, chuckled over tho scoundrclism which he claimed tho legal tender act cloaked. Now wo ask Morton what difference there Is In morals, in good faith, between Indiana paying her bonds In greenbacks, and the United States paying the ton-fortios in the same kind of currency? Is not tho failure to do so repudiation, just as muck In in tho former ns In tho latter case? And is not his cx-excellency Morton for directing the Interest upon tho Indiana bonds to be paid in greenbacks, a first class repudiator? These facts make It evident that Morton and the Journal, in their sudden zeal for the maintenance of tho public faith, arc In the Interests of tho bondholders, perhaps their mercenary tools. Section seven of article eleven of tho constitution of Indiana, provides that " all bills or notes issued as money, shall bo, at all times, redeemable Ln gold or silver; and no law shall be passed, sanctioning, directly or Indirectly, tbo suspension by any bank or banking company, of specie payments.” Notwithstanding this provision of tho constitution of tho State, all tho banks took advantage of tho act of Congress making Treasury notes a legal tender, and redeemed their notes in greenbacks. The banks of Indlsna have repudiated tbeir contract to pay the blllholders In gold snd without a word of objection from Morton or the Journal, who discourse so eloquently and pathetically about tho "black cloud of repudiation” upon the proposition to pay the holders of United States bonds In the same currency that Indiana Is compelling her creditors to take. What else do they advocate but rags, a depreciated currency for tho people, the tax payers and gold for tho bondholders who are exempted from taxation? I’ubllc faith is sacrod in th« case of the Government bondholders, they muit havo the gold, no matter what It costs In exchange for greenbacks, tint In the transactions between tho people, treasury notes are made a legal tender. What justice Is there In this distinction—In making tbo bondholders a prlvllged class? Is It right or equitable that the mass of the people should be ground to the earth with taxation to sustain a bondocracy—a privileged class who, while receiving all the benefit*of the Government, contribute nothing to Its support? Must It be rags for the taxpayers and gold for those who pay no taxes? Can It be presumed that the people will long submit to this Inequality, or be deterred from remedying the evil by the senseless cry of repudiation? We think not, and the grest revolution that is going on In the public mind should be evidence sulllciont to satisfy the most Incredulous that they will
not.

It will be remembered that tho radicals of the Seventeenth Judicial f'ti cult, met In convention, at Kokomo, In June, for the purpose of nominating a candidate forjudge; that the meeting wa* very angry and bolsterons; that late In the evening Hamilton county, with Its candidate, Judge Uarver, seceded; that Tipton followed at eight, and Madison at nine at night, leaving Howard solo possessor of the Held. Howard adjourned at eleven, making no nomination. Many angry words had been spoken, and all supposed that no farther effort to nominate would be made.

Hence, ae Professor Hows says, the two-thirds rule was adopted. The conventito of yaeterday met In theeourt bouse, at NobleivOUf at ten o’clock a. m. Colonel Richmond, of Howard, wae called to the chair. Garvkb, Davis and Brovsu were placed In nomination, Md the balloting commenced. When the train came south, at fire o’clock in the evening, the convention had balloted one hundred and thirty-nine timet, but had made no nomination; indeed, the last ballot was precisely like the first, or rather like thewleventb, for Tipton had voted ten times, for effect and as a trap, for Drol sk. During sevsral hours the convention voted ^every five minutes by the watch. Twice *ke vote was taken by ballot, but this did not change the result. Tho vote usually atood forty-one (Hamilton and Ttpton) for Garyrr; twenty (Howard) for iirolsf, and eighteen iMadison) for JMVis. The delegatee were still stubborn. Many had gone home. Now and then a delegation would go out to dilnk, but even the befuddled were sticking closely to their man. It seemed to be tho understanding that tboro wonld be no nomination, although many declared the convention would be continued from day to day. Altogether it has been tbo greatest burlesque of tho season. Only one of the candidates has any legal capacity.

Tbo radical majority In Maine last year was
27,2.->S.
The radical majority in Pennsylvania last year for Governor was 17,000, but on tho congressional ticket, which was the true test of party strength, it was only 11,000. The Democrat* of the Stato have strong hopes of carrying tho election. Tho Worcester Palladium, a strong Republican paper, says " wo can not Ignore the fact that the Republican party elected President Johnson ; and so long as ho r/ w */!r" *“ " -< ' e that -*«* ve itself of the responsibility of hts administration of the Govern-

The Louisiana census of 1800 showed a population of 2:’.,000; negroes over twenty-one years of age. The registration under Sukripax shows a voting black population of about 00,000. How these colored patriots must have been killed off In their ellorts to save the Union; and how beyond all suspicion of fraud is a registration which shows a population quadrupling itself In seven years! Wknpki.i. PiiiLLirs says; " If I had the naming ot the man, Thau. Stxvens would be the next President of tho United States. I believe bo is now In good ncaltb,but if not, give me but six monthsol him In the White House, snd I would give more for those six months of his, than for most other people’s four years.” FKMAI.K SrKFRAOK IN NEBRASKA.—Ry an act of tho Nebraska legislature, passed June 24,1807, women of lawful age are allowed to vote at the district school meetings. The first elections under tho law will be held in October. The Omaha liepullkan suspects “the entering wedge Is thus driven for universal suffrage in Nebraska.” Tho Wisconsin Democratic Stato Convention made the following nominations: Governor, J.J. Tallmapgk; Lieutenant Governor,G. L. Parks; Secretary of State, Kmilk Roth; Attorney General, L. P. Wktherbek; Prison Commissioner, Ob* 11*0; Treasurer, Peter Rurr; Superintendent of Public Instruction, L. C. Peater; Hank Controller, R. J. Harney. The Dubuque, Iowa, Herald, In speaking Of the election In Montana, says: “And In Montano, James M, Cavanaugh is said to have been handsomely elected to Congress. Old Ren Butler will probably move hts expulsion. Cavanaugh slapped the brute’s face at tho Charleston Convention, ami told him that he was a dirty dog.” On the question of tho President’s power to pardon, tho Chicago Times says that Mr. Linroi.N, who was a far better lawyer than he was statesman, understood this matter perfectly, and declared hla understanding of It In his message giving bis reasons for signing tho act of Congress which assumed to give him the power to declare an amnesty. He told Congress plainly that the act, so far as that matter was concerned, was unnecessary, as tho President had authority to declare i nesty without such an act. That he was right on this point, all good authorities agree. Corritt Ra dicat, Lxadkrs.—The Chicago Tribune, radical, referring to the corruption of tho Republican leaders In California, makes those significant remarks: These corrupt leaders thought themselves secure of Victory; and wbon the returns came In showing immense gains everywhere for the copperheads, we are told they "were surprised.” Doubtless I Certain people were surprised some years ago when the vigilance committee commenced operations. These are aro not the only politicians in the country that will be "surprised,” some fine dar, to dlacover that the people have been watching them. The Pardonino Power.—The New York World says: It Is a matter of undeniable history that Washington pardoned the Pennsylvania whisky rebels by a general amnesty, without any congressional authorization, and previous to any trial or sentence. Was Washington a usurper of power which did not belong to bim ? Any person who will be at the trouble to examine the opinions of the Attorney General will find every part of the Tlmes , doctrine on the pardoning power llstly contradicted. How could it nave happened that a succession of able and accomplished lawyers, under no temptation or bias, should have been so mistaken ? Wo make no quotations; but we will overwhelm with quotations anybody who Is rash enough to dispute the correctness of our statement. The most eminent lawyers who have fllled the office of Attorney General have been of opinion that the President could, without any congressional permission, pardon alngly or In largo groups, boiore conviction or after, according to his sole judgment and dis-
cretion.
The Eekct ok Radical Rule.—The Philadelphia Age draws this picture of the flnan. cial effect of radical rule upon the people and tho nation: One dollar and sixty cents were paid by the people through the customs of 1800. This was thought to be a heavy burden upon each person. Hut In 1H0U, after alx years of radical rule, fourteen dollars per head were drawn from the Industry of the nation through the customs and Internal revenue. In 1800, each man had to pay out of his labor, two dollars and six cents of the publle debt. Tho radicals came into power, and In six years they raised that sum to twenty-nine dollars and fifty cents. The expenses of the National GovermcntlnlHOO were slxty-two million*. A fearful increase In the short space of six years! In 1800, the government of this State cost four hundred and two thousand dollars to foot all the expenses Incurred by the radical party. Twenty-five millions of dollars aro annually taken from the labor of tbU HUU to pay the Interest* on debts of a national. State, and municipal character, contracted by the radical party in the short space of *1* years. A friend writes us that the reception of Mr. Vallandioham at midnight, In Gallon, Ohio, on Tuesday night, was a handsome demonstration. He was met at tho depot about one o'clock by a large concourse of citizens accompanied by a band, and escorted to the residence of Mr. Shunck, whose guest he wae. The Democrats of Gallon are altve and working. There are accession* to the Democratic ranks every day. Crawford county may be set down for Thurman, with an laereaaed
majority.

Congress continues to create ntw offices and Increase salaries. There Is an array of twenty thousand office holders connected with the Treasury Department alone In this country, at this hour, sucking out the life blood of the j g cifl c Fo l r%ervices which thousand of honest, capable men would be glad to perform for one-third of what they receive. Congress has raised the pay of Its own members to live thousand dollars a year, beside pillage and plunder. This salary la about fourteen dollars a day, for every day In the year, Sundays and all, and probably more than thirty dollars a day for the actual time spent. [To this should be added an average of $2,000 each year for mileage. In other days, Congressmen took a large number of newspapers on both sides in politics, from their State and elsewhere, but now they very largely commute for money ^-Editors Intelligencer.) The amount of plunder they get is past finding out; but, by way of illustration, let us give some samples of It upon a 'small scale, and leave you to judge what it muat be on a
large scale.
We have a copy of Senate Miscellaneous Document No. M, Ttdrty-nlnth Congress, Second Session, which Is a detailed statement of payments from the contingent fund of the Senate for the year ending December 3,18O0, published in accordance with an act passed In 1842. and certified by J. W. Forney, Secretary of the Senate. It Is a pamphlet of 87 pages, about 10 by 0 Inches, In fine print, giving Items of contingent expenses of the Senate, which. In the absence of Southern Senators, is composed of 52 members. We have added up some classes of these items with the following results, which show sufficiently the character of

An Eloquent Clergf man-Sceaes at a Seuiltern Busk MIoaUaf. The editor of the I’eteraburg Express describes a bush meeting scene la Fauquier county, Virginia, in which a polpit prodigy
officiated:
The Rev. Mr. Mnmey. pastor of a Methodist Church In Alexandria, preached in London one day this week, at whatl* termed a bush meeting, and hla reputation for *t*au*ne* attracted the whole country for many mites around. His appearance is as striking as hts gift of speech. TaM, spare aad shapeleee, with aagular prominence of form and feature, long, swaying arms, not gracefully used, mwta face pale ae death itself, In which the eyes are sunken aid burning, the Ups bloodless and eompeessed, the skin drawn tightly as parchment, high but narrow forehead, hollow cheeks aad templet unfilled. Hla voice Is shrill almost to femininity; bis mannor weird and impressive enough to form fit accompaniment to hi* uncommon figure aad more extraordinary language. As we said before, he is a pulpit prodigy, destined to a wider fame
than that yet accorded him.
The meeting which he addressed was as strange to unaccustomed eyes as the extraordinary orator. There were gathered In a beautiful grove of a hundred acres a mnltltade of people of all eorts, colors, ages and denominations, who bad come with babies, doge, dinners and canteens, on foot, on horseback, la wagons, carriages, ox carts, and gigs, to pray, to listen, to bargain, to get drunk, to moke
love.
In the center of the wood a stand had been erected, upon which the ministers were gathered, and round about them were several hundred worshippers Intent upon the prayer* aad exhortations going on. Outside of this sacred circle were ranged parties in vehicles, groups on foot, chatting merrily npon subjects as foreign to the Sabbath aa lilierty Is to tbs Southern States. Here was a belle entertaining half a score of young bucks with charming ease. There a farmer pointing to a neighbor the excellencies of a mule he wished to sell. Here a matron nursing, and there one spanking an infant. Hero a couple of freedmen negotiating over a blue coat with brass buttons, and there a white haired veteran talking politics to a dried up old cuss who wa* one of the registrars for the county. Tben another dividing line, and a new circle, and we have entered a lively fair ground, with Its clatter of tongues, ol knives and forks, of glasses and of coppers, Ico-cream booths, gingerbread stands, candy jars, pop and beer wagons, soda fountains, ice water fifteen cents a backet, and pinetag whisky ten cents a nip. Here darkeys were buying red handerchlefs, Khuw, n ZZ.il’yy tUtSnS’l^S^u!tum&n of dirty lemonade, snd bolt# of tough cake; fellows were staggering about loaded to the eyes with ardent, and damning things into heaps as stupendous as the ruins of the Coliseum, and accompanying and mellowing all this came from the Inner ring the voice of prayer and psalm of thanksgiving. Ti»e YVJkltes Preparing to Leave the
•antis.
If the negro supremacy doctrines of the radicals are not checked by the people of the North at the coming fall elections, it is quite evident that before long the whites of the South will emigrate to the loyal States or to foreign countries. A letter from a prominent and distinguished South Carolinian contains this
paragraph:
"There Is utter paralysis in the South at the near and apparently inevitable prospect ol negro supremacy. The white people of the country will not be able to live here; it will be simply intolerable. Therefore, those of us who can get away are preparing to leave, although at present not many are able to do so. You may expect negro Representatives in Congress from the South. The loyal league associations have welded the negroes Into aolld political organizations which defy the address and Influence of their old masters. The white people will vote generally against a convention;
the negroes are a unit for It.”
This extract shows the feeling In the South, and It assumes a more serious aspect from another part of the letter referred to which states that as soon as the crops are gathered and sold large number* ol whites will leave South Carolina for other States, where the people are not ruled by negroea. This, then, la to be the result of the radical policy, South Carolina and all of the Southern States wherein the olacks have majorities are to be deserted by all of their wealthy and intelligent population, and the government of an immense extent of territory will be left In the hands <\f the very worst class of blacks, voted for and supported by the most Ignorant, depraved, fanatical race on the face of the earth. It Is not to be wondered at, tben, that the vast majority of the whites favor military despotism to reconstruction under the negro policy of the radicals. The questions now at Issue are being fast narrowed down to these: whether we shall have ten exclusively negro States In this Union, or whether the whites shall be the ruling race throughout the country.—York Herald.
A New Iron Fortiflcatlan.
The Californians have of late turned their attention to the mysteries of invention. We notice that one of their iron men has invented anew iron fort. The main principle of thla fort Is evidently taken from the Ericsson-Cole monitor, for it is a revolving turret. But, besides revolving, this turret, floating In a deep reservoir, protected by heavy earthwork* with embrasures, Is entirely out of sight when not engaged in firing, being raised or lowered for duty by machinery worked with compressed air. The gun sights for lateral range are fixed In the turret in an eh a way that the guns, eight in number, can be sighted before opening the ports. The compressed air, forcing the gun out, takes up also the recoil, retiring before Its pressure, so that but little is expended. The claim is for security and ranidltv
of firing.

REPEATING IT AT THE ADJOURNED SESSION IN
JULY.
On motion of Mr. Spaulding, of Ohio, in the House of Representatives, on tho 8th of July last, an order was adopted to allow the same amount to members for newspapers and stationery for that brief adjourned term as allowed for a short term of Congress. If they will thus rob the people in small matters, what may we not expect on a large scale? Is it any wonder that these men amass Immense fortunes; that so many of them are able to be traveling now In foreign lands, rioting In tho luxuries and splendors of wealth? From the National Intelligencer. REMARKS. In respect to the pay in a large way we shall have something to say hereafter. It may be remarked, enpassant, that, were the Treasury Department disposed to publish tho facts as to the monstrous lavlsbments of public money by Mr. Secretary Stanton upon political favorites and for electioneering purposes, such publication would sink the radical party in hopeless defeat and destruction. As an example, we may mention the paying of 8450,000 for the old steamship Illinois, which was not sent to sen, and by a trick was got rid of by letting the authorities of New York have her for quarantine purposes. Her estimated value by officials of the Navy Department, to whom the ship was offered, was $00,000. This transaction took place (a proposition of the (Quartermaster (Jeneral for appraisal being suppressed) Just before some Important elections In States that were supposed to be closely balanced between parties. There arc IndlanUns who are posted on this subject. There Is no end to the like profuse and excessive profligacy of Mr. Stanton. So monstrous was his wild and wasteful expenditure for ships and vessels that it probably far exceeded that of the Navy Department, with its thousands ol ships, grim sentinels at every port or nlet from Hampton Roads to the Rio Grande. Tho treasury records should also be unsealed to exhibit the vast treasure that was allowed in defiance of law over the heads of controllers and auditors upon accounts under the military head. They should be unsealed, that the people may know of tho vast amount of money that has been lost by defalcations of public officers. Tbeir names should be known, and the radical influences that keep them in office or prevent their prosecution. It were Interesting to know what partiality existed, and why ft existed, in reference to allowances for railway transportation? For Instance, why was the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company paid for services which It never performed? Why one-half cent a mile more was paid to said road tor passage of soldiers than was paid to any other railroad? Why the value of labor and materials of the Government was not deducted from the charges of said company lor construction or repair after rebel raids upon the road during the war? Whether Government did not make expenditures lor construction when damage bad arisen from other process oi Injury than by destructive rebel Incursions? why said railroad company received over a hundred thousand dollars yearly for carrying mail*, which. In fact, were not carried at all on the main stem of the road? Why the said company were allowed to purchase upon credit millions of dollars of Government rolling stock, thus being enabled thereby to realize every dollar of their trumped up accounts in millions of dollars, by way of extra charges? What wonder la it, In view of Umm rivers of profligacy, running to the deep gulf of |5,000,000,. 000 for war expenditures. (as stated often by Mr. Thaddeue Steven*,) that the people should be sinking under excessive taxation? What wonder Is it that portion* of the Republican press are clamoring for the taxation of the bonds of the Federal Government? What wonder le it that profuse and lawless expenditure to carry election*, and make fortunes for thousands of ehoddy snobs, has thoroughly eempted and depraved the leadership, great ' ‘ Is It

The recent improrementa in this stove have added largely to its convenience and effectiveness. In all the varieties of stoves we manufacture, we study usefulness, durability, convenience and economy in operation, rather than cheapness in price, and in so doing wc are satisfied we study the interest of those purchasing our stores.
