The Meactlea-lte fruits.
Who have been controlling the Bepubllcan party? Who have been Its leading spirits? Are they not Sumnkr, and Wap*, and ChaiTm.KR, and AanutY, and Ben. Butler, and Stkvkxs, and we may add Morton, Baker and Colfax, of our own State? Thai). StkvHNS waa recognized by COLrAX, the Speaker of the Uouee of Representatives, as the leader of the Republican party In that body by plac* Ing him at the head of Its most Important committee, a position which, by nil precedence, makes him such. As the loader of the radical party in the House, Mr. Stkvkns earned all the measures which he inaugurated, and In adopting them the party became responsible for them. This conclusion can not be avoided. And, In addition, the leading men and prera of the party sustained the action cf their recognized leader. These facts a e familiar to nil. And we may add that previous to the recent elections they would not have been <|Urstioned, or .would any effort have been made to avoid tho consequences which have resulted from them. No paper In this country has more fully Indorsed the extreme measure adopted by Congress, under tho leadership of Tiiad. Stevens, than has the Indianapolis .lournal. Not satisfied with what iho National I.'glslaturo had done, that paper threatened a more severe policy, unless the country succumbed to radical dictation anM rule. Hut a sudden change has overtaken it. and wo may add a most remarkable change. The radical lion previous to the election, since that expression of the public will, has become ns docile and quiet as a lamb. Mark tho overturn. Tiiad. Stevens, who but a fow weeks ago was tho representative of tho radical spirit and purpases, is now cast »»ido rriia tne utmost satif//raid—an Indifference which is not only remarkable, but most ungrateful. The .Journal, In Its Issue of yesterday, thus disposes of tho man who, but a short time ago, It
styled tho Great Commoner:
“Deeming himself wiser than the party, ho not only felt no interest In Its success while It refused to follow his lead, but deliberately and maliciously betrayed im own State to the copperheads. Hy this Inexcusable treachery he has forfeited nil claim to the respect and confiuonco of U- nublleans, and we trust that our
fri nils in Congress will herealter deal l«*s gingerly with hts Im practicable crotchets than they have been accustomed to do.” Was there ever baser ingratitude than this? It Is only the old story, however. If the policy of Thad. Stk\ kns had boon successful, the party which repudiates him would have extolled him as a deml-god; but failure has consigned him to political perdition even in the
house of his friends.
Tho Indianapolis Journal is not alone in Its new role, it finds a counterpart in its namesake, the I.afsyotto Journal. Like tho central organ, that paper makes a new tack and a fey? extracts from a double loaded leader In a late issuo, host exhibits tho demoralization which tho recent elections have occasioned In the radical ranks. VVc quote: “Tho recent disasters to the Republican pirty were needed for Us purification, in no other way could it bo emancipated from tho control of selfish and incompotent men.” Is this not an unkind cut? Did not Morton, as well as Stevens and Sumner assume tho control of tho Republican party? Is not ho, ami wc may add, arc not Baker, and Cumrack, and Coi.eax, and Kimball, ("despise not the day of small things”) all aspiring to leadership in the radical party, "selfish and incompetent?” Tho Lafayette Journal goes a
step further. It adds:
" The rash. Impetuous, headstrong and unreason ing in* n, and the impracticable and inexpedient measuies of the party must bo at
'.mh in
present policy; do hway with the military despotisms of tha South, and the fmdmen’s bureau, and adopt home plan by which tha Union may bs reltared, tha peopla, aa they have Indicated In a«r late elections, will drlvs them from power, and put honest men In their place*.
f*«lltlcal iteiae.
(Wncwi County.—Hon. D. T. Laird, the chairman of the county central committee, has issued tha following call: "The Democrats of Spencer county, and all others opposed to radleal rule, will meet In mass convention at Centrevllle, In Gras* township, on Saturday, the 14th day of December, 1807, for the purpose of selecting delegates to represent the county In the Democratic State Convention, to be held at Indianapolis, on the 8th day of January, 1808. Let every township In the county be fully repre-
sented.
That’r the way to do It. To secure success in the important elections of next year, an early and thorough organization of the party Is necessary. We hope every county In the State will follow the example of the Demoeracy of Spencer, and promptly respond to the call of the State Central Committee. Roll on
the ball !
Presidential and State Candidates.— The Rockport Democrat hoists at the bead of its columns, the following ticket, as Its choice for president and gubernatorial candidates: For President In 1808, Horatio Seymour, of New York. For Vice President, General John A. McClkrnand, of Illinois—subject to the decision of the National Democratic Convention. For Governor of Indiana in 1808, William S. Holman, of Dearborn county. For Lieutenant Governor, William E. Niblack, of Knox county—subject to the decision of the Democratic State Convention. In favor of its first choice for these offices
the Democrat says:
"Without any disparagement of other aspirants, we are firmly of the opinion thas the
jin rue uiwijr ui me iqnuiun mas me whole United States of America might be canvassed from this to the meeting of the National Convention, without finding two other men more suitable or bettor adapted, (located as they are) for the Presidency and Vico Presidency than ex Governor Horatio Seymour, of New York, and Gcnoral John A. McClernand, of Illinois. Neither do we believe thatif Indiana should be canvassed from this till the Democratic State Convention meets at Indl-
Lleutenant Governor than lion. Williams. Holman, of Dearborn county, and Hon. William E. Niblack, of Knox county, could be found. “With such records as tho gentlemen composing our ticket can produce, we can bid deli mcc to the world, tho llesh aud the devil. We have long since looked upon Horatio Seymour. of New York, as the greatest American statesman of the age. Not only a statesman, but a practical working man, understanding thoroughly the workings of all the complicated machinery necessary to run our State and N an.nal affairs, from tho lowest township office to the presidency of the United States. ••G ■ v,.l John A. McClernand is acknowledge ..j .dl to be not only a soldier and statesman, but one of the most refined and perfect gentb men to t>3 found in all the country. “Wuh Seymour and McClernand at the head of our ticket, our victory will be complete and our country at peace.”
mice put aside. StutCHnmnMjip must be al-
lowed a place at t he helm.”
Just so. This D what wo h.ivo l ccn proclaiming, but when we have charged tbattbose at ihc head of the Goven.meiU were incompotent to wisely and sum--lully administer it, wc encountered a torrent of abuse from the radical organs, but tho confcs-ion comes at last. But what are the “impracticable nnd Inexpedient measures of the party,” the radical partv, which "must be set aside?” Is not negronuffrage, or what eur radical friends term “manhood suffrage,” iho radical measure which received signal and um quivocal condcmnatloii in the recent elections? Docs not the veto of Ohio against that proposition demonstrate that it Is an "impracticable and inexpedient” measure? Most assuredly. There can be no other conclusion. But what dons tho Lafayette Journal propose to do? Is it to yuld to tho popular sentiment? No. Advocating General Grant as the Republican candidate for the Presidency, It says: "The folly, corruption and supreme selfishness of a portion of the Republican leaders have made him the master of the situation.” And then it adds, "bis nomination is an ab solute condition ol further party existence.” To this humiliating position has the Republican party arrived. It is forced by tho reaction in public sentement to yield all its distinctive features and Us representative men t) retain Its hold upon power, but the Lafayette Journal admits that such a course would be hypocritical and a fraud upon the people, for it hopes that success obtained under suen circumstances and by such means could ho used to force upon the country the very measures which tho people in the late elections most unequivocally rebuked. Such Is Republicanism, and such the character of Republican loaders as portrayed by their own repre-
sentatives.
Government Take Care ol the inch, and the Rich will Take Care
of tko Poor.
The sentiment of the caption of this article Is the basis of action In the English Govern ment. She, by her policy, protects her nobility, her manufactures and her commerce. The party in this country, opposed to tho Democratic party, acts on the aame basis. Here, unlike It Is In England, lands are plenty and at low prices, so that any person who has fifty dollars, may become the owner In fee of farm. It if Impossible to make a landed aristocracy in this Government; so the policy changes, and capital is protected by granting exclusive privileges, aa In the United States Bank and our present national banke; lu protective tariffs as the present and all tariffs pasted by them when In power. A friend Informs us that he recollects buying a stock of goods tn New York city in 1843, under the ditcriminaUna tariff of 1842. The duty on muslins read in this way: All mutllns worth not more than twenty cents per yard shall be valued at twenty cents and pay thirty per cent. duty. He bought New York Mills shirting at thirteen and a half cents, and also an English manufactured article, selling In competition, and supposed byjudgesto be of equal value, at the same price. Now observe the duty paid of six cents wee more than the cost of manufacture, and there was not, la all probability, of the whole quantity used by our people, one yard In a then-,rid that paid duty, and the consumer w ho paid this increase on the price, caused by the tariff, paid it Into the pocket of the New England mnuufneturer. If wo were paying the amount for the support of tho Government, It might have been tolerated; but not moretbnn one dollar in a thousand went in that direction. Gtir Republican friends undervalue the Intelligence of the people If they think they deceive any Intelligent voter by eaylng unless your income Is over one thousand dollars you pay no taxes. Whenever you indulge la n ettf of eoff>>e, or a cun of tee; when yon bay a yard of calico, or muslin, or flannel,you are paying taxes, and no small tax either. The tariff of 1842 said afl fianhele, bookings, and bnlzca Should pay so much per square yard, without
any reference to the value;
which was then selling from tblrty-flve to fifty cents per yard, and was seed by the common laborer, paid ns much duty aa that need by the wealthy, worth from a dollar to a dollar and twenty-five cents per yawl. This le celled discrimination, hot If you will examine Italweye (Usortmlaatee against the labor and in favor of the wealth ofthe country.

—Shall the negroes rule in the South? Tho radicals dcm ind it, but the people answer no! —There appears nothing more definite In polities than tho assumption cf superior Intelligenco on tho part of our progressive " nogroecry” cotcmQuarles, and hence the firm of Brownlow, Ilunnlcut, Chandler, Wade & Co., which represents all the refinement, educatlon, morality and social position in the country, can well afford to sneer at the "ignorance” of their opponents, says the Detroit Free
Frees.
" What the Elections Decided.”—Under heads like the above many radical presses, that are less honest than cunning, are playing cuttlefish In respect to the recent election results. Tho people who have decreed the downfall of the radical traitors and corruptionists, answer to their Interrogatories, that the elections have decided that “you have been weighed in the balance and found want ing. —Senator Sumner can consistently support the establishment of equal suffrage in the States by act of Congress, for he has always held that Congress may constitutionally do whatever it thinks necessary In support of liberty. Not so, Mr. Stevens. He has always averted that Congress had the right to ordain equal suffrage in the South only by right of conquest, and outside of the Constitution. He must subjugate Connecticut, Ohio, and the rest, before he can go outside the Constitution to dictate terms of suffrage to them. Springfield Republican.

•MR* Maas. lac AFX or Pkhohxhs.—Three prisoners, named Hist, Munson and Harris, who were confined In the Jetl at (Me place, under charge of the mxrdar of Mr. W. H. H. Funk, of this county, succeeded lx making their escape last Friday night, by tearing up a rotten floor and digging through a vary ttrong wall thirteen Inches thick, made of rotten brick.—Warsaw Union,
—On the night of thel2tb instant, at Stringtown, Crsfwford county, James P. Vance and John Bell met, about ten of the clock, to settle aa old quarrel, which had been on the tapis for some time. Bell had met Vance about aeven o’clock the same evening and then and there wanted to settle the difficulty; but as Vance was on bis wsy to tha church at the time, the affair waa adjourned over so that Vance might enjoy the meeting. When the parties met, afterg.be services at the church were over, a brother of Vance stepped in as his champion, and took the light off his hands. Young Vanea was armed with a revolver, with which he commenced shooting st Bell in the most calculating and refreshing manner. The first shot missed Us intended victim and went crashing into a furniture shop among the bedsteads and bureaus. The second shut also failed of its aim, but it hit and killed a three hundred dollar horse for Marc Wstts. The third abet being better aimed, struck Bell intbasldaand passed through him, coming out nearxhe back bone. The result is that Bell will have a tight tussel with the " grim monster,” and young Vance will be compelled to play the part of a refugee from justicehaving left for parts unknown and thus for escaped anott.—Hew Albany Ledger.
Important Decision.—The Supreme Court has just decided that the trustees of the Wabash and Erie Canal can maintain a suit to enforce calls of stock made by tho Executive Committee ol the Wabash ami Erie Canal Company upon a member who neglects to pay. We understand that many of the parties who agreed to contribute to the capital of the company have failed to respond to the assessment, and that in consequence very considerable embarrassment has been felt In the prosecution of the work of repairing and maintaining the canal, the burden that should be cheerfully shared by all having been ungenerously saddled up >n apart of the members. The Circuit Court, Judge Test presiding, held that express provision having been made in the contract of partnership for the trustees of the canal to enforce calls, upon request of tho Executive Committee, the suit could be maintained, although It was objected that they were not the real parties in interest, and that the only remedy was by a suit for contribution with all the parties, about four humfred, before the court. The Supremo Court sustains the Judgment below, and so affords an efficient remedy axain»>* delinquents, wbioh *ro umierscand the proper agents are Instructed to enforce immediately.—Za/tp/effe Journal.
Attempted Suicide.—A German, well known as “ Vinegar Bill,” attempted to commit snldde on Saturday afternoon, by shooting himself with a revolver. The man was an habitual drunkard, well known to the police force and at the Mayor’s Court. It seems that he had been ejected by one ot the clerks from Newman A Hauser’s brewery on Fourth street, where he lay almost dead drunk. In a fit of anger he west off, but soon returned with a pistol, threatening vengeance against the clerk. The latter was fortunately absent. The would be suicide then went to the Meyer House, where be boarded, and going to an oathouse, deliberately placed the muzzle of the pistol to his mouth and fired. The bail passed through bis tongue, ranged downward and lodged In the fleshy part of the neck, where It now is, in a position which renders It next to Impossible to extract tt. He was found a while afterwards by a couple of policemen wandering around among the piles of staves at a cooper shop in that part of the city, who by diro. tion of the town-ibip trustees, con-veyc-t him to the American House, and called in Dr. O'Leary. The probabilities of his recovery are extremely doubtful. If he ever does get well he will probably never have the use of his tongue.-Zrt/'aj/e(fe Journal. Rvilroad Consolidation.—A consolidation of the Pennsylvania Central, Columbus and Indiana Central, Chicago and Great Eastern, and we believe the Peoria, Logansport, Marion and Union City Railroad, (the latter not yet completed,) took place several weeks since. It is also rumored that Lord has obtained or is about to obtain possession of the road from Cambridge City to this place, which, if true, would give the most direct possible connection with Cincinnati, and that be will construct the line from this place to Fort Wayne. We should be glad to see this ratified.—jVctc Castle Courier.

Tbe Technicalities of tho Turf. There Is a Jargon of the turf quite incomprehensible to non-sportin? readers, which it
may tie Interesting to elucidate:
A hurdle race consists of riding round a mile course twice, making two miles, and jumping over eight hurdles. Tbe hurdles constat of a range ol fence rails, four feet high, stretched across the course at equal distances, and surmounted by brush, which makes the jump a foot or two higher, and yields to the horse’s
foot In case he should not clear it.
A handicap is where a judge i appointed to determine the weight that a horse should carry in tbe riy:e, which he settles according to the age or strength of the horse. If a rider is not sufficiently heavy, he wears additional underclothing, or thin plates oflead are slipped into the pockets of his saddle, until he reaches the
equired figure.
If •
f the race is for $500, that sum Is subscribed in equal amounts by the owners of the horses, filOO goes to the second horse, leav ing but $400
tor the winner.
‘•No entrance charge” signifies that nothing Is to be paid for entering the horsi s on the list.

The letters “b. fc.” signify r>ay ho
m.” mack mare, "hr. g.” brown gelding, “b. c.” bay colt, “ch. f.” chesnut filly, “g. e.” gray colt. Sorrel, cream-colored, and piebald are abreviated retpectiveiy by s., ?. and p. “Aged” means that a horse or mare is over seven years. At five they are considered grown, and are called hy their names. Before
then, they are colts or miles.
A steeple chase is taken from an old English term, where a pell mell race takes place for a church at a distance, whose steeple is conspicuous. Hedges, fences, gates and ditches are to be cleared in this course, and small rivers often swam. In such contests upon race courses, fences or hurdles are improvised, behind which latter ditches, vary from six to twelve feet in width are dug. These are not on the line of the course, as they would obstruct subsequent races, but are either outside or Inside of it. Rough ground outside of the direct line of the course is also chosen, and the road not being so distinct as the former, is liable to bo lost. In this case a horse has to retrace his steps and start from the point where he diverged. Horses in a steeple chase usually go round the course three times, mak-
ing three miles.
A sweepstakes Is where a purse in made up by the running horses and carried off by tbe winning horse. The following is a notice of this description of race: "A sweepstakes of three year olds; two miles; §100 entrance; $5i) forfeit; f400 added; usual penalty for winner.” The figures mean that $100 is paid by each horse on entering the course; $50 forfeit in case he does not enter after giving notice of Intention to do so, and $400 added to the entrance money won by the winner, which is subscribed by all the horses. A penalty is paid by the winner in the shape of more entrance fee than any other horse, as may be
agreed upon.
Nursery stakes are for colts and fillies of two years, or under, for a mile race. The name is a suggestion of their juvenility.

Two Hundred and Eighty-four Mil-
lion Dollars!—The radicals expended this •um on the army last year. It was more than two hundred millions of dollara In excess of what they should have expended. But most of this money went into their freedmen’s bureau and other radical electioneering machine?. The annual payment of this enormous sum tothesxtlnguishraent of tbe notional debt, adding to the payment the amount of reduced Interest evsryyear, would pay off the debt in ten years, and re-establish a specie currency in four years. But the radicals are expending the money In schemes to promote their p^rty successes—to hold the white race
down and ratss the negroes above them. SHERMAN THE Coming Man.—General
Sherman, according to a Washington telegram in the New York Herald, is entirely opposed to the revolutionary ultras, and in fovor of the constitutional principles upheld by the President. He was free to express these opinions
a few days ago when In Washington
-vuou A,* u,ug.i.u, and all
statements to the contrary are pure inven-
tions of the enemy. Every man in the North knows, too, that beside* being conservative,
Sherman is for superior to Grant, both as a civilian and as a soldier.—Richmond Dispatch. What is the Policy of the Democratic Party?—Before the election, the Democrats and conservatives who are banded against tbe radical conspirators, that seek to destroy the constitution and free government itself, were characterized by them as those who endorsed the policy of Andrew Johnson against that of Congress, In respect to reconstruction. The truth In the matter could not be more briefly stated, so far as it went. The Democrats and conservatives also denounced nearly all tbe measures of tbe radical disunion conspirators and corruptionists. Here is a policy for all good men. Can there be any mistake in such a platform? It is only a day,as it were, when it will have force and effect.—National Intel-
ligencer.
The Official Vote of Pennsylvania, Tbe following is the oifficlal vote of Pennsylvania on Supreme Court Judge, at tbe late
election:
Sbarswood. Democrat, 268,026 Williams, Republican, .206,824
Majority 1,202 Last year tbe vote for Governor stood thus:
Geary, Republican, 307.247 Clymor, Democrat, 290,096
Majority for Geary.. 17,178 The Republienn vote bas fallen off some 41,000 since laat year, and the Democratic vote 22,000. The Democratic vote In Ohio baa Increased 80)000 since the last election. In Penneylvsnia it has fallen off some 20,000. This shows the difference between aa energetic canvass upon the greenback issue, and a sluggish campaign without that leeue. The Democrats of the country will mark tbe difference.
K inxas, and Httll mor«T.iiHn unit win uttect very unfavorably the still unsettled problem of the political relations of tbe negro In the final reconstruct ion at the South. With the large registration of white, though the actual ma-
jority vote cast may call for a convention, it is likely in several States to be a minority of
all those registered, and therefore ineffectual. In this way congressional reconstruction is to bo again checkmated. Wbat greater encourauement do negro hating Southerners coed than the adverse vote of Ohio, with such a President in the White House, to do all they possibly can to resist tbe establishment of government in the South which shall place the blacks

times goes to the club.
A phrase line the following is incomprehensible to many: "Mr. William Parrot en-
ters b. c. Jimmy, by Rushlight, out of dam by imp. Lightning.” 'it means that the bay colt

cesses a per centage is also added.

e do not doubt the ultimate complete triumph ot our cau*e. But we see in ihe timid and shiftless inunu'vering of Republican managers criminal tdundertnp, which, if it only involved themselves In disappointment, we should not particularly regret. But lu the two political divisions, created by the circumstances of tbe revolution through which we are passing, it is the misfortune of the situation that their criminal folly Inflicts needless and cruel suffering, even untoileath, or living tortures worse than death upon thousands of victims, white and black, throughout the South, and greatly embarrasses the progress of our cause in the North. Tbe Republicans of Massachusetts, in their late Worcester convention, over which Mr. Wilson presided, paved the way for the Ohio defeat by tbelr non-commit-tal attitude In regard to negro suffrage as a vitally important question. Snch a course was but a part of the Wtlson-Fcseenden Keubltcan policy. Tbe Republicans of this tate resolved definitely and unqualifiedly in favor of negro suffrage, but the action of tbe representative of tho party at tbe Albany convention In postponing tbe subject beyond tbe November election neutralizes the moral effect of the Syracuse resolution. The Republicans of Pennsylvania meanly dogged the issue, the significance of which, as connected with national politics, they folly understood. Tbelr action invited the defeat which they richly deserve. The Republicans cf Obio, la a greater degree than its spurious Democracy, are responsible for tbe Ignominious defeat of the national Issue In their canvass just closed. In a most disreputable manner they refused first to submit tbe question at all, and tben,tn view of what Congress under military rule dictated for the South, they felt constrained to reconsider their previous action, and to change tront In the race of the enemy. With this manifest timidity and insincerity they were in
no condition to win victory.
In all this an absolute necessity Is mads apparent for continued hard work on the part of ail abolitionists and sincere radicals everywhere. It Is demonstrated that our cause can not be safely entrusted to political adventurers, however loud their professions of fidelity to the doctrine of negro equality. Radical, persistent agitation must be continued. Under the operations of the war power we have made rapid strides. That power is not, and ought not to be perpetual in a free government. If, as the heat of battle subsides, It Is found that the average opinion of tbe country Is below the point to which, In the direction of freedom for the negro, the war carried ua, we must inevitably sink to tbe level of lb et opinion. Churches and tbe clergy are, as formerly, for tbe most part, batmake-wetghts, or a positive dreg, where they should be foremost in leading tbe nation In the light of Immutable, fundamental Christian principles through its present difficult and dangerous pass. The great battle for permanent freedom and equal political rights for tbe negro le to be fought la the year before us. Tbe elections of yesterday, and those of next month, will be as a preliminary engagement. "What might have been,” an among the saddest words.
