The greater rapidity of growth of Indiana as compared with Ohio, is shown by the fact of the increase of the vote of the former on that of the latter. Although having much less territory and a much liter beginning in thriftiness, it 13 not improbable that the time is reasonably near when Indiana will contain a larger population than Ohio. The extent of the richness of the mineral resources of the former really double the size of the State, for it is a peculiarity of the Indiana mines that they do not spoil the surface above them for tillage. The earth was not set on edge here to bring the precious ores in reach from the outside; but tte latter are sandwiched under the soil, ai d the grain is raised above the mine to suiport the men working in it. In 18C0 Ohio had four times the population of Indiana; in 1849 two and a half times as many; and in 1870 Indiana had two-thirds as many as Ohio. Much of the growth of States depends upon the cities, and Ohio, with Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus and Dayton, made rapid strides, during one or two decades ; but the general increase of the State having ceased, the growth of the cities cannot now keep up the old ratio of increase in the State. The principal cities of Indiana have grown most during the past ten years, and it is not improbable that the period is near when the eight principal cities of Indiana will be larger than the eight principal cities of Ohio, although it is probable that the two largest in Ohio will be larger than the two largest in Indiana. Indianapolis may out grow Cincinnati, but it is not likely that our secondcity will out-grow Cleveland. There is no doubt that several of the Indiana cities will exceed Toledo, as well a3 Columbus and Dayton. The causes of the growth of the Indiana cities have not heretofore been taken into account, but are now becoming manifest. The Sentinel, however, has no idea of State pride, and instead of rejoicing over the growth of Indiana grumbles over the fact that the vote of the Slate has increased over thirty-four thousand since 18JS, while the vote of Ohio has increased only a few hundred. We suppose one reason of the small increase in Ohio i3 that there were an unusually large number of et ay-at-homes. But nothing is clearer to any one who ha3 noted the growth of Marion and other counties in Indiana that an increase of eight thousand votes a year is not too large a ratio for the increase of population. That there were fraudulent votes cast in October we are fully satisfied, and the result in November will show in whose favor they were thrown. If the Sentinel and its party are sincere in wishing to check fraudulent voting, they will heartily co-operate with the Legislature this winter to enact laws which will make fraudulent voting more dillicult and dangerous. At any rate, their sincerity will bo tested. G RATE'S SNEER AT It) VERT Y. In his speech at Bellville, Illinois, the other day B. Gratz Brown said: ' The revolution of lTTti was achieved byenrances t"rs to maintain the principle that taxation and representation honld go togtther, and yet we behold to day seven hundred thousand square miles of tbc Union taxed to the uttermost limit of endurance, by a rule that reflects no real interests of the people of that vast section." Thus the champion of the Democratic larty takes the ground that the interests of capital are greater than those of humanity. He says, in effect, that the vote of one man who is worth one hundred thousand dollars should be as potent as the vote of one hundred men who arc worth one thousand dollars each, or of one thousand men worth one hundred dollars each. The rule Mr. Brown lays down for the colored men of the South will apply to poverty every where, and if the North should vote against the administra tion because it ha dealt fairly with this cRss, and considers franchise an attribute of minhood, then wherever the majority of poor men in any town vote adversely to the half-dozen richest men of the place, that majority should be proscribed. This may be Liberalism and Democracy, for it is a large way from Republicanism, and the poor men of the North may vote to punish the poverty of the poor men of the South, and they may not. Still, this is the kernel of the great argument of the Liberal candidate for his own election. The Republicans of the South are poor in this world's goods. Mr. Brown also makes a blunder in his

reference to the principle of representation with taxation. He assumes that taxation is only a matter concerning the rich. The fact is the taxation on a man with but one hundred dollars i3 as heavy as the taxation on the man who u worth a hundred thousand. The latter is not taxed a cent more than the former. Each pays the same poll tax, and each pays to the Government the same percentage of his possessions. Pat, who carries the hod, and doesn't own two hundred dollars' worth of furniture, is just as much interested on the subject of taxation as Stoughton Fletc her and contributes just as much to the support of the State. Mr. Brown is a poor student of history if he does not know that many of the rich men of the colonies preferred taxation without representation to a contention which might disturb their possessions, while it was the enthusiasm of the masses who looked to the question of manhood that made the protest against taxation without representation ao effective. Mr. Brown's position, therefore, is false in its inferences from historical fact, is vicious in principle, and subversive of the foundation of all Republican government; yet it is extolled by the Democratic and Liberal organs as the quintessence f political wisdom. .1 SPECIMEN LEADER. The trial of A. Oakey Hall, Mayor of New York, head of the Democratic party in that city, late partner with Tweed and Conolly, and escaped the odium attaching to them on the exposition of the Tammany Ring last year, mainly through the palliative statements of the Tribune and certain Tammany Republicans who now support Grebley shows that he was as deeply complicated in the ring thievery as any one. Hall has been kept up by the assertion that he was duped by Tweed, Sweeney and Con--olly, and trusting their honor, had no knowledge of their rascality. But during the testimony yesterday, the following created quite a sensation, and demonstrated his complicity with the Democratic robbery of the Treasury of New York : Andrew J. Garvet testified: "On the 2Gth day of April, 180, 1 had claims against the county of New York, and the bills I made out were paid. The three wanants handed to me were paid on endorsement, and my endorsements were all genuine. In April, Woodward, of the Board of Supervisors, asked h w much was due me, and I told him as near as I could, and he pave rue instructions to make out bills and said that I should have Uirty-ftve per cent, on Ihe whole hill. Watson after that told me that 1 Fhould have my money if I followed Watson's intru tlons. I did so. The gross amount of the bill was $3'.5,000 of which I expected to get back for work doue, or in progress, $11P,!M0 for courthouse decorations; $75,000 for armories in company effices; fO.OOO for court buildings, and $50,000 cash advanced and said to be for Tweed. Stoughton objected to testimony about $.r0,000 as not affecting the defendant. Judge Brady said it is not immaterial for what purpose the additions to the bill made and which were not for work done. Tremains said be proposed to show that the defendant,

J when the bill was presented, asked whether this was one of tho bills in which Tweed was interested, and on being assured in the affirmative, signed It. Sensation. The court decided to hear the teetimony. The witness said $50,000 was for Tweed in Albany, $13,000 for work on the house and premises of E N. Woodward, $60,000 for work on Tweed's premises at Greenwich, and $30,000 for plastering two houses of Tweed's in Fifty-fourth street. On the'c bills he received thirty-five per cent. The witness here identified a number of checks which he deposited in bank with Woodward on receiving the warrants. Other checks were deposited in the name of Tweed. Peckham said, in reply to the counsel for the defense, that he proposed to show that Tweed received a portion of ihe checks deposited by the witness, and to show that Hall was conscious of the fact. Sensation in Court. The witness alfo tcst'fied that after the frauds were made public he met Mayor Hall one day and told him he wae afraid of being sued. I said, is there any danger of those folks Slicing us boys and tying up all our propeity? and the Mayor replied, who is going to do it? This was in the vestibule of the Court House. In 1869 the witness took warrants to Mayor Hall to be signed. He did not know how much was to come out of them for Tweed. The Mayor asked him, are these Tweed's matters? The witness said yes, and the Mayor signed them. t INSURANCE. A writer in the Sentinel, over the signature of "Insurance," makes as strong a case as it is possible to make in defence of the recent advance in rates in this city. The pith of his argmcnt is in the following statement: "We base our ideas of the worth of the rif k npon its character, ana we write it with the expectation that it may be lost. All that we expect is just what yon expect in your business- a fair profit on what we offer. Who is as competent to judge of this profit as the party who endeavors to understand why a certain price is aeked?" The justice of this proposition would not be recognized in any other business in the world, and we do not see why insurance should be an exception. The buyer as well as the seller is interested in the question of profit. The profit must reasonable and in harmony with certain well established principles of justice. If a grocer should lose his principle stock by fire, but having a shed full of potatoes saved, should propose to make good his entire loss by advancing the price of his potatoes and sell them to his old customers at five dollars a bushel when they were only worth one dollar, his customers would justly object to expressing their sympathy in this way, and would quickly change their custom to other dealers, or do with very few potatoes if this dealer had the monopoly of the market They would reasonably reason that one dollar a bushel for potatoes which cost him but sixty-five or seventy cents was a fair and just rate of profit, and no matter how badly he want to make up his loss by the fire, the attempt to extort it from them is a species of robbery. Now, it has been no secret for years, that the premiums on fire insurance in this city have been in excess of the amount to make a fair profit on the business here. Losses have invariably been light, and the insurance business of the city has been profitable. By public and private enterprise the risk has been made less; and the business men of the city generally believe that it is an unjust exaction t-j raise the rates on them in order to make up the losses of the companies by the

Chicago fire. That belief is reasonable, and personal attacks upon the Journal Com. pany, or any of its stockholders will not be apt to change it Furthermore, insurance is not made with the expectation that the property insured will be lost, but that it will not. On any other basis, any premiums less than the face of the policy would be madness. Insurance is a calculation of chances, reduced almost to a certainty by the average results of observation. Observation in this city show3 that very little property is destroyed by fire, and that the insurers have had a good thiDg of it. To predicate an advance now on the supposition that the whole city might be burned down is absurd. The chances are as millions to one that it will not.

EDITORIAL NOTES. California presents 6ome new and broad lelda for the cultivation of cotton. At Snellings and in the vicinity about five hundred acres have been experimented upon by different individuals. In every plantation It is asserted that no plant ever crew morcnuxuriously. Thejexperlment Is pronounced a great success. Mr. Henderson, an American, has just succeeded in procuring liberation from the Spanish authorities in Cuba. The Spanish Government on that Island seem to be equally arbitrary and senseless, and the Cubans may certainly be forgiven for an excess in zeal in retaliatory ceremonies whenever they are successful. In fact, if they were to exhibit even Indian ferocity and scalp every man captured, they would, under the circumstances, be still an excusable class of 'rovers on the Spanish mane." In May, 1S73, Vienna will give an exhibition more grand than that of 1S07. The Emperor of Austria will entertain sovcreigus or princes from every European nation; the Prince of "Wales will be President of the Commission of Management, and besides the Sultan of Turkey and the Khedive of Egypt, the Shah of Persia and the Tycoon of Japan are to be there. This exhibition, with preceding ones 6ince the first in London, in 1S51, will be useful, no doubt, in giving hints for the great American Centenary Celebration of 1870. Now that petroleum has been discovered in Germany she claims that she will soon be independent on that 6core at least. The crude material has been discovered in Galica in great abundance, and extensive preparations are making to fit it for market. In one single village twenty refineries are in operation. As yet all the production has been from surface boring, but when the wells are 6unk to the depth of those in this country the production, it is estimated, will be sufficient to surply a large part of Europe. The boy with gun-powder and the man with sheet-iron, are no longer to play the part of Jupiter the Thunderer behind the scenes of the theatre. A Chicago man has invented a method by which real thunder and lightning can be procured by an electric battery, and the new in vention is Boon to be used in one of the leading theatres of New York. Good! Let us have everything real about our theatres. Of course, we shall not expect the ladies, they of the ballet and blonde burlesque, to conform to any such rubles, but let them be the only exceptions. Thk British revenue, from all 6orts of taxation, for the year ending on theoOthof September, amounts to $:J85,0S,275, which includes $10,500,000 from an increased incomo tax im posed last year. But, independent of this, there 's an increase of $15,000,000 on the returns from customs, excise, stamps, postofflce, and ether sources. It is a pleasant thing for the Minister of Finance to have so large a surplus as this, and it will come in at the right time when $15,000,000 in gold has to be paid over to tho United States, in compliance with the award of the Alabama claims arbitrators at Geneva. Since the October storms a grand division amongst the Democrats has taken place. In Pennsylvania they are divided into three separate classes. First, those who are so disgusted with the bargain at Baltimore that they will not go near the polls In November. This class includes a large percentage of the party. Second, those who take their crow with becoming humility, and will vote for the great and good Greeley; and third, by no means an inconsiderable number, those who will vote for Grant. Gentlemen of standing say that Grant will carry some of the strongest Democratic counties In the State. A Miss Rice, late of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, has left a will that will give satisfaction to a large number of persons. There are legacies to first cousins and others which appear to be liberal. Four charitable societies in Portsmouth each receive $3,000; the Portsmouth Atheneum, $3,000, for purchasing books; the Unitarian Society, $3,000;' the town of Kittery $20,000 for a library; five charitable societtes in Boston have $5,000 each; the Sailor's Snug Harbor, Boston, $20,000; General Theological Society, Boston, $3,000. Then there is a codicil increasing the legacies to the societies already named, and making fresh legacies to others. Amohq other things it is found that the new licensing act in England prohibits billiard-playing in public houses, and this is said to have caused great excitement in what arc spoken of as "the lower middle walks of life." An inkeeper at Stockton has been fined for permit, ting persons to play in his billiard-room at the game of "pool" for money, contrary to a section of the new act. It was urged that this interpretation of the law would close a great number of billiard rooms; but the magistrate did not appear to anticipate anything terrible from such a shutting up. The act is, perhaps, the severest experiment ever made upon what Englishmen have been accustomed to regard as their personal liberty. A sew custom now exists In some of the larger cities, which, if persisted in, will be very mortifying to all those who have failed to learn to write a neat, legible hand. When a visitor calls and finds the family out he Is requested to write his name in a handsome visiting book. An exchange objects to it after this fashion: "This is well enough for most people; but the wealthy do not care to be thus careless of their autographs. Again, there are people in the higher circles, the Shoddys, for instance, who have not the necessary time and ability to write their names. And there is Dr. Greeley, who has to have an introduction to

his name every time It is necessary for him to

recognize it. The visiting book, is after all, either a resurrection in a mild form of the ven erable album or an invention of counting-house people, who know that they out6hine everybody else in the great work of making autographs. Let it be voted down." Under the 6hedow of Park Street Church on Tremont street, in the busy part of the city of Boston, lies the dust of three signers of the Declaration of Independence, Hancock, Adams and Paine; of seven Massachusetts Governors, Hancock, Adami, Bowdoin, Sumner, Sulivan, Love and Eustisj'and not far distant, under a Urge tree, close to the iron fence, the ashes of the victims of the Boston massacre. Among other noted persons buried there were John Hull, mint master in 1652; Judge Samuel Sewell, of noted memory; Peter Fanuil, General Joseph Warren, Colonel Paul Revere and Richard Bellinghaui, a colonial governor. A white marble slab, with tie simple inscription, No. 16, Tomb of Hancock," indicates the tomb of the distinguished patriot, John Hancock, the first signer of the Declaration of Independence. Here is an awful accident at Gervey, Cote d'Or, at the establishment of MM. Rousseau, wine growers, which may be judiciously handled by temperance lecturers. The Messrs. Rousseau were engaged in throwing grapes into a vat in which some had already been placed for three or four days. A man going down to tread them was immediately suffocated by the gases emitted during fermenta. tion. One of the proprietors went down to help him and shared his fate. Then the other M. Rousseau descended, and, and was likewise prostrated," and to complete the trouble, Mad. Rousseau, mother of Messrs., also went in, and was in turn overpowered. When the bodies were taken out, three of them were dead, but the lady was restored t j consciousness after long efforts. HASH. Wild turkeys gTaze in the streets of Kala mazoo.

At Rockford, Floyd County, Iowa, on Tuesday, a farmer set a stack of waste straw on fire.

The little bill run up during Dr. Greeley's visit to Cincinnati will have to be paid out of the city treasury after all. Judge Yr.plc has denied the prayer of the City S 'licitor for an injunction restraining the City Audit or from paying the people's money away thus. ROBBERY AND ROMANCE. Miss Violetta Colvllle, the young American irima donna, and her mother were waylaid by lighway robbers between Albisola and Savona, taly. The elder lady describes the affair as f olowst I thought it would do Violetta good to go to the beach and walk into the sea air, she being yet not entirely strong, bo wc took a carriage and drove to the little village of Albisola. After walking about an hour on the beach we started to return home. We had got about half a mile from Albisola when the carriage stopped, and the driver said that something was the matter with the vehicle, and that it could go no further. He said wc must wait there, and he would go into town for another carriage. I was not at all suspicious nor alarmed. We were in a little valley or gorge, for the hill rose on either side and the mountains lay behind. We then strolled about enjoying ourselves, when I heard Violetta say: "For mercy's sake, who are these people?" I turned round and saw advancing from the 6ea6ide five loughlooking men, who, from the shape of the road, had managed to remain concealed from view until they were within about a rod or so of us. I did not allow Violetta to think I was frightened, but said: "Oh, they are laborers probably returning home." But wc were quickly undeceived when one of them advanced and asked in a tone not at all agreeing with his language if we had not a few centis6imi for a poor man? To gain time I pretended not to understand Italian, and asked him in French what he desired. In the meantime I had 6lid my hand in my pocket and slipped ofl my rings from my fingers. He said that he and bis comrades would like a little assistance in the way of money from the mesdames. I had drawn out my pocketbook, and was proceeding to open it when our brigand, not at all like the brigands of the drama, did not wait to accept any offering I might choose to give him. but incontinently snatched it from my hand. When he opened it the others crowded around him, and, seeing its contents (there were about six hundred francs in notes of various denominations) appeared highly contented; but wishing doubtless to have a souvenir of their unwilling benefactress, required of me my watch also; which, when I had given them, they made off with, first convincing themselves that Violetta had neither watch nor purse about her. As I, happy that we had escaped without further loss or injury, looking after the rascals, I could nt help thinking of the decline of the brigand species. Alas! where were the 6teeple-crowned hats and flowing ribbons? Where were the silken hose wound about with many colored tapes that make the legs of the opera singers look like eccentric barber poles. Alas! the?c real brigands were dirty, half clad and wholly ragged specimens of that humanity most nearly allied to the brute family. Now, if they had only been stage brigands, they would have recognized the young prima donna, Sienorina Violetta Cblville; they would have compelled her to 6lng an aria on the spot, etc., etc.; but, oh, shame for the romance of real life! we lost our money to a set of ragamuffins, and had not even the consolation of having it taken from us by a gentleman (!) with a high-crowned hat, with a tall of gorgeous ribbons, and who would sing while he took it, to 600the our wounded feelings. There's where it stings; there is where we are humbled. But to return. The driver cime shortly after the departure of the thieves, and, although it could not be proved against him, I will always believe that he was in league with them. A royal lover. The Archduke Henry, of Austria, who some years ago committed the terrible Prime of marrying an actress, and was in consequence banished the dominions of Franz Joseph, bas been bo far pardoned as to be allowed to return to Austria, with his wife, upon condition of living in the Tyrol. Leopodlne Hoffmann, his wife, is a fine woman, and the marriage was a lovematch. The sentimental King of Bavaria took a great interest in the unfortunate couple, and raised the Archduchess to the peerage of Bavaria, in the hope of making her more acceptable to the aristocratic heir of the Civsars, but in vain. It is believed that the Emperor was Influenced in his severity toward the Archduke by his mother, the late Archduchess Sophia, who was extremely incensed at the conduct of her nephew. The Archduchess was indeed a woman with no heart, cold, cruel, and proud, and 6he is said to have instigated her 6on to order the terrible execution of the Hungarian Generals at Arad, which horrified all Europe, simply to gratify & private revenge.
