STATE EXCHANGE TABLE. The County Press Continues to Have Views on Public Questions. The Tariff Still Monopolizing Attention— What Free Trade and Direct Taxation Would Cost Indiana. The Tariff or Direct Taxation. Columbus Republican. Under the constitution direct taxes have to be apportioned among the States in proportion to population and not wealth. Massachusetts and Indiana have about the same population and would have to pay the same amount of taxes, although Massachusetts has double the wealth of Indiana. The population of Indiana is 2,000,000, one twenty-fifth of the whole population of the country, and that would be her proportion of taxes. This would be $12,000,000 that the people of Indiana would have to pay into the national treasury annually. The annual cost of the State government is $3,500,000, so that we would have to pay three and a half times as much taxes into the national treasury as we now pay into the State treasury. If the in-ternal-revenue duty were retained, the national tax would still be more than double the State tax. How would our people like that condition of affairs? Would not the burden be almost as great as that imposed by our present odious tariff system? Yet that is the logical and inevitable result of free trade, should it be established. The Aggressiveness of the Liquor Traffic. Albion-New Era. The whisky element, like the institution of slavery, is aggressive, and will never be satisfied until absolute free whisky reigns in every State, or until it is crushed out entirely. It feels that every moral agency by which mankind is to be elevated and ennobled is detrimental to its interests—it looks upon every church, every school-house and every happy home as its deadliest enemy, and will never rest contentedly until it is placed on an equality, in the eyes of the law, with every necessary and legitimate business. As soon as prohibifion is no longer feared in Indiana, the liquor interests will commence their attacks upon what they (from policy) are forced now to call our present “excellent license law.” The Irtsh-Americans and Irish at Home. Madison Courier. When the Irish-American convention branded their countrymen in the island i home as paupers they used language at once Insulting and unjustifiable. When the Irish peasant nas a fair chance to earn an honest living, be it man. woman or child, the industry is not lacking. Such a people, poor as they may be in their crowded and land-lord-cursed country, are laborious and selfsustaining citizens when they reach the free soil of America. Hence, we consider that the self-appointed leaders of the race in America, in convention at Philadelphia, have proven themselves unwise counsellors, and their advice, if followed, can only breed mischief and sorrow to their countrymen. Compulsory Education. Lawrencebnrg Reg.Kter. Every observant person knows if the children were left to their own inclination but few of them would be found in the schoolroom, and a much less number would apply themselves to their studies. The school, in fact, is, to a great extent, an institution of compulsion, and it may be much to the credit of the teacher when it ceases to be such. A compulsory law, therefore, is for the ignorant and careless, and, in some respects, vicious parent. Disregarding the rights of his child and the duty he owes to society and his State, he refuses to give that child the benefits that a free government offers it in the establishment of the freeschool system. The Democracy’s Fatal Error. Andrews Express. That the Democratic party is becoming a free-trade party does not admit of a doubt, and that its position upon the tariff will prevent, more than any one thing, its securing the control of the government is equally certain. No artisan who desires to raise his family respectably, or who hopes to acquire a comfortable competence for his declining years, will ally himself to a party which has for its fundamental plank a principle exactly opposite to his hopes, and very few agriculturists can be made to believe that tiieir interests will be advanced by a policy which degrades a large per cent, of our own citizens. Competition Reduces Prices. Columbus Republican. The experience of the past shows that the same result has followed the reduction of tariff duties as internal revenue duties. The consumers have paid practically the same, and the reduction has enhanced the profits of the foreign producer. Home competition has ten times more to do with the regulation of prices than the tariff. Whenever home production is stimulated and competition becomes sharp, prices fall and the consumers get the benefit. When home competition is discouraged and foreign producers have a monopoly, prices rise, regardless of high or low tariff. Law Versus the People. Martinsville Republican. Last year the people of lowa, by 30,000 majority, decided to place a certain article in their State constitution. Those who opposed placing it there quickly got up an agreed case, hurried it up to the Supreme Court, and that august body has now. for the second time, decided the artfeie “unconstitutional.” because of some small irregularity in the way it was gotten up. Grammatically, and from a Rtrict legal interpretation, the court is correct; and yet in order to be grammatical and strictly legal it stifles the voice of nearly two-thirds of the people of the great State of lowa. What Splits the Democracy. Noblesvillc Republican-Ledger. The word “only” in the tariff plank of the Democracy in 1880 was such a fatal potion that a dose of Hancock’s knowledge of the tariff, which was administered as an antidote, lad no seeming effect, and a desperate case lequires a desnerate remedy. A dose of the fraudulent Morey letter was given the patent, but to no avail. The tariff question is i\e rock upon which the Democracy will rin be divided, and the result of 1880 will repeated in 1884. The Ballot Box Our Only Security. Innrlt News. Our highest aim should be to guard the lurity of the ballot box, to watch it carefully fd continually as the palladium of our libtty and the foundation of our free institufons. This is a very serious matter, and lould not be treated lightly. A thoughtless sregard of this matter may lend our city ito serious trouble. It is time that all good ctizens unite in strictest condemnation of n\ corrupting influences in all elections. Ha* America Any Rights? tnruftw Time*. Irishmen propose to make the United states an arsenal for their war against England, id England proposes to make the United States an almshouse for the destitute And starving victims of her oppression in Ireland. Has this country anv rights that either Irtsh or English men are bound to respect? The Real Workingman. Alb*qy Lodger. Industry furnishes its own reward, and although nil who toil may not become millionaires, yet ther# is a point of comfort and ease to which those who seek it may attain. Such Workingmen are intelligent, too much so to

lend themselves to the wild schemes of those who seek to break down the barriers of society and supersede law and order with anarchy and confusion. They are, in fact, the real Done and sinew of the country, the producers of its wealth in a time of peace and its defenders in a time of war. Resigned to the Inevitable. Logansport Journal. The Republicans have never been very anxious whether the Democratic party lived or died, but they have believed after each of the national defeats it has encountered during the past twenty-five years that that was the last of the Democracy. But it continues to live, and the Republicans have concluded that so long as there is any bad political doctrine to be supported, or any obstacle to be placed in the way of the nation’s progress, the Democratic party will survive. DAVID DAVIS. Why He Resigned a Judgeship—His Opinion of Gresham—A Legal Anecdote. Interview In San Francisco Call. “You resigned from the United States Supreme bench to enter active political life?” “Yes, but had I not been elected to the Senate I would have resigned within the year.” “This is not generally understood, is it?” “Perhaps not; but you are at liberty to make it so understood now, if you wish. I bad been fifteen years on the Supreme bench, and was tired out. A man ot my habit cannot stand the great labor imposed upon a judge of the Supreme bench. It requires a man of different, slighter habit. It is not the writing of opinions; it is the constant, wearing labor of finding out the truths of matiers concerning which opinions are to be written. Yes, I should have left the bench within the year, even if I had not been elected to the Senate, and now I am thankful of the prospect of rest and quiet afforded me.” “You have seen the newspaper guess that Judge Gresham accepted the postmastergeneralship as a good training for the presidential candidacy?” “Yes,” Mr. Davis replied, with a smile. “I have seen that, but Ido not think Judge Gresham has political ambitions—certainly not in that direction. It may interest you to know that Garfield considered the name of Judge Gresham in connection with the office he now holds when he was making up his cabinet; Mr. Arthur also considered his name when he first formed his cabinet. Judge Gresham I know well and like very much. He is a man of talents, incorruptible integrity and strong will. By the way, he came out here ten years ago, and by my advice. He had been working hard as United Slates district judge in the district composed of Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois, which was in my circuit. He was w’orn out, and I prevailed upon him to go to California, offering to sit for him in his district, which I did while he was here. He roughed it in your State, driving about in a campingwagon with his wife and son, and returned entirely restored. I did not think lie had political ambitions. I supposed he thought of succeeding Judge Hammond, United States Circuit judge for that district, who is getting to be an old man now. But he has accepted a cabinet portfolio and will make a good officer.” “Then I can’t induce 3 T ou to say anything about politics, Judge?” “Not a word; not a single word.” And the reporter folded up his enriched notebook. “I would like to ask you about an anecdote concerning yourself the legal profession laugh about a great deal.” “Proceed,” Mr. Davis said, good naturedly. “They say that when j r ou were sitting in your circuit that once Joseph E. McDonald, who was a colleague of Voorhees in the Senate, appeared before you on behalf of a plaintiff whose right to trial he was endeavoring to force to the disadvantage of the absent attorney on the other side. You told him that he could insist upon a trial at once, but in your opinion the defendant would, in such case, get a favorable verdict. Is that so?” Judge Davis laughed heartily at the recollection of what he evidently considered a good story on himself, crossed a cornfortablvpoddv right leg over acomfortably-poddy left leg, and said: “No; it wasn’t McDonald. He never would have done such a thing. It was another lawyer, whose name I won’t mention, for, poor fellow, lie’s dead. 1 was holding court in Indianapolis when this attorney for the plaintiff appeared before me in a case in which Governor Thomas A. Hendricks was for the defendant. The train on which Hendricks was to have arrived in time for court met with an accident, which delayed him. The plaintiff’s attorney knew of this, but, in a very discourteous manner, was insisting upon an immediate triai, which, in fact, he had a legal right to do, but which would have been ver\ r unfair to Mr. Hendricks. Finally, in reply to his reallv unprofessional importunities, I said: ‘Well, the ease will be called if von insist, but I heard just such a case as this over in Springfield the other day, and the defendant, by the aid of the court, got a favorable verdict.’ ” “Did the importunate attorney insist upon an immediate trial?” “No; he suddenly concluded to agree to a continuance.” THE DAVIS KILLING. Kentuckians Beginning to Understand that Thompson Committed a Crime. Now York Special. Even the Kentucky papers begin to doubt whether Thompson, the congressman who shot Davis the other day, was justified in shooting him under the code, or in other words, whether Davis had done him any injury. The evidence in Thompson’s possession at all events seems to have been of the flimsiest sort, and he committed the murder some days after he had heard of the offense. In short, taking the best view, he acted in cold blood, as judge, jury and executioner in his own case, without hearing the accused. It is no answer to this to say that “his mariners were easy.” and "in walk and conversation he is as gentle as a woman;” or “that he is the gamest little man that ever trod in shoe-leather;” or that “lie rode into the thickest of the fight in Morgan’s cavalry,” when only seventeen; or that “Phil. Thompson would not have done this deed if he did not sincerely believe that lie wus an outraged man.” Thar may be, but things would come to a pretty pass in a civilized country if everybody who “sincerely believed” that you had outraged him in some way, was allowed to kill you on sight. Even if Phil. Thompson is allowed to do his own killing, he ought ut least to take testimony first, and hear the prisoner. We suspect that the remarks of the old Scotch judge, Lord Braxton, to the culprit wiio made a very fine speech in his own defense, is not wholly inapplicable to Phil. Thompson’B case: “You’re a vera clever chiel’, mon; but ye’ll be nane the waur of a wee bit o’ bangin’.” Insurance for Children. Chicago Herald. A Cincinnati insurance company announces that it will issue policies on children at the rate of five cents per week. Tne following valuation hns been fixed: A child less than one year old is worth sl4; between one and two years, sl9;two to three vear?,s2B; four years. s3l; five yearn, $35; six years, S4O; seven years, SSO; eight years, $00; nine years, S7O; ten years, $00; eleven years, $123.

OSAWATOMIE BROWN. Alexander R. Boteler’s Recollections of the Raid on Harper’s Ferry. Girth's New York Letter. Said I: “Mr. Boteler, you lived close to the John Brown raid; did you see Browu?” “Yes, sir. I not only saw him hauled out of the engine-house, but while he was yet freshly wounded, Colonel Robert Lee allowed me to pass in and talk to him as he lay on the bare floor in one of the armory buildings. There is a singular circumstance about that. Sometime before Brown’s descent on Harpers Ferry I took to my wife one day a sketch that I made with a pencil in the cars coming from Point of Rocks to Harper’s Ferry.” Said I: “My dear, here is a genuine picture of the Wandering Jew.” “Who is it?” said she. “I don’t know. It was a strange old man with fingers like the talons of a bird that I saw talking to two young men. He had the most remarkable head I have looked at for years. His hair went up like spikes; his jaw and mouth were very strong, and he had an eye that would look you through and through. His nose was like an eagle’s and there was something very fascinating about him, yet superstitious; and I made that sketch of him and called it the Wandering Jew. He . was talking about sheep-raising, and talked very intelligently, too, and I was interested in what he said, because I thought he might be going to buy land in our parts.’ Well, ray wife put that picture away and forgot about it. Suddenly the descent on Harper’s Ferry was made. It did not then occur to me that Brown was the same man I had seen. But when he was tried at Charlestown and stood up to make the speech before sentence was passed upon him, I took the opportunity to draw another sketch of him. By that time he had somewhat recovered from his w’ounds. I took the sketch home, and said; ‘There, Mrs. Boteler, you see old John Brown.’ ‘Why,’said she, ‘I have seen this man before.’ ‘Oh, I guess not,’ said I. ‘Yes, I have.’ She thought about it awhile, and then turned to the drawer where she had put my sketch of the Wandering Jew, and drew it out. ‘Yes,’ said she, ‘here is the very man.’ I had made the sketch of John Brown unwittingly.” “I have got that sketch,” spoke up Donaldson. “You gave it to me. It is in my collection.” Said I: “Mr. Boteler, what impression did John Brown make on you?” “Avery remarkable man, indeed. When he was drawn out of that engine-house, all covered with blood and dust, and haggard from watching and want of sleep, 1 went in to see him. He was lying on his side, with that eye turned up into which the blood had run from the cut over his scalp, which one of the marines gave him as the engine-house was carried. The blood had flowed into his eyes and dried there, and rather closed that eye up. I went in to him, and kneeling down put my face very close to his. He wa9 in a pretty bad way, but made no noise except a groan or two. Said Ito him, ‘Sir, excuse me for interrupting you, but lam a neighbor. I appreciate your misfortune, and came to tell you that if you have a wife and family and wish to communicate with them, I will see that you areallowdd to write them a letter, and I will send it myself, though the authorities must first read it.’ He said he had a wife living at North Elba, N. Y., and daughters, and that he was obliged to me, because he wanted them written to. Said I: ‘Mr. Brown, you will excuse me if I ask you a question. I have a wife and daughters, too.’ ‘Ask your question,’ said Brown. T want to know if this is the whole of the invasion of this district. Who started this thing?’ ‘I started it myself.’ said Brown. By this time he had managed to turn himself over so that he got the other eye, which was wide open, to bear on me, and he looked at me as strong and sharp as if he had been the examiner and I the prisoner. Said I: ‘Mr. Brown, if that is your name, are we to expect any more of this raid? Will there be any further descent on this region or State?’ ‘None that I know of,’ said Brown. ‘lf there is any more to come it will not be of my knowledge.’ Said I: ‘Mr. Brown, if this is the whole of the raid, you must have expected assistance when you got here?’ ‘Yes,’ said he, ‘I did. My expedition was to free the slaves, and I expected them to join me, as well as other people in favor of that object.’ As I was about to go away there appeared at the door a Catholic priest, who had been attending some of the wounded people in the fight. He wore his vestments, and Brown knew him to be a priest. He at once stormed out at the top of his voice: ‘Go away from here! I don’t want anything to do with you. Take him away!’ it was very plain that the old Puritan wanted no Romanist to come around him in his hour and article of death. So I said to the priest: ‘You only disturb this man, and he is badly wounded. Don’t come in.’ ” Said I: “Mr. Boteler, what do you think of John Brown?” “I think he was a very able man. I do not believe he had any insanity whatever in the suggestion and conduct of the raid. It was one of the most marvelous campaigns ever devised. I went through his effects which were found at the old home in Maryland he occupied, and there I found a map of Virginia and the adjoining Maryland, giving the number of slaves and white men in each county and district. If John Brown had got into the mountains there is no telling how extensive that raid might have been. Unquestionably a certain proportion of the slaves would have run away. Ilis mistake was that that military commanders afterward made—of clinging to Harper’s Ferry, thinking it had some strategic value. He meant to have ‘gram to the mountains and kept upon their wooded summits, and the insurrection might have exceeded all our present notions. Among his effects was a list of persons that he had asked to join him, or had partly consented to do so, and it was divided into two parts, the one list headed ‘reliable,’ and tne other ‘unreliable.’ At the head of the ‘unreliable’ list were the names of Frederick Douglass, sr., and his son. I don’t think I ought to talk about that, though, because I admire the course Douglass has taken since the war for concord and conservatism.” Someone asked Mr. Boteler if he iiad any sympathy with Cook, the brother-in-law of the Democratic Governor of Indiana, in that raid. “None for him,” said Mr. Boteler. “He hal come among us like a spy, and married there at Harper’s Ferry. But I did have sincere sympathy for that other white man, Ooppick, who was hanged at the same time with Cook. When sentence of death was pronounced upon him I saw his eyes go round the court-room as if to seek one j friendly look, snd it came from nowhere, A j stranger, young, doomed, followed by no ! relatives, assisted by no strong counsel like | the others, 1 felt for him keenly. When John Brown was propped up to be sentenced, his voice had not n particle of tremor or apprehension in it. lie said what he had to say practically, and after he had finished, resumed coolly, like one adding the postscript to a letter, to express his thanks to the jailers.” The Monkey and the Chestnuts. London Truth. It is gratifying to think that the dynamiters who ure charged with the mission of blowing us up appear to be such silly people that they do not understand their own wretched business. The reason why more mischief has not been effected is, I take . It. the old story of the monkey and the chtstI nuts. The intelligent man lives In America, I pockets most of tne funds given to him to 1 make war on England, and gives a small

| portion of them to tne fool who is ready to I risk his neck by coming over here to wage war. HIGH ART IN NEW YORK. Picking on the Banjo- A Memorable Contest in Steinway Hall. New York Times. There was a banjo tournament in Steinway Hall last night, and the cats for blocks around were made sad. Fifteen hundred | people were goaded to desperation by the merciless twanging of twenty able-bodied and industrious players. A young man i whose intellect was parted in the middle brought the audience to a realization at the outset of what they might expect by wreaking from the keys of an agonized instrument on the stage “Pianos are made to Pound.” Alfred Bent, a cornet player, blew “Far from the Cold Beef at Home” in cyclonic blasts from the brazen throat of his horn, and J. M. Meyers, a vocalist, sang “My Love took Laughing Gas.” Master Charley Heckler, a little fellow in red stockings and a white linen collar, picked “How' I Dread the Slipper” and other ditties on his banjo, and Alexander Melbourne, who was proclaimed the London favorite, sang in accents wild what was said by an auditor to be “Oh, Tough was the Microscopic Steak.” The audience was divided on the question whether Mr. Melbourue should come back after singing his song, but he returned and sang “A Cheek of Solid Brass,” and was followed by William Snow, who beat time with a No. 11 shoe as he thrummed “Mary Started the Fire with Kerosene.” Smith and Edison, announced as the great accordionists, executed “The Soup w r as Cold and Thin,” and other familiar airs, in a way that brought down the house. Charles E. Dobson and Edward C. Dobson picked and stroked the banjo, respectively, for gold medals, and fifteen less distinguished ban joists were then let loose on the audience in a contest for five prize banjos. Before they got through they had driven about half the people out of the hall. There were, however, some very good tunes among the unnumbered, unnamed and unrecognizable airs that were played. The audience named most of them. “Green Apples Laid Our Willie Low” was a pathetic thing, but “Brother’s Hair was Cut by Mother” struck a responsive chord in the breast of every youth in the house. A bald-headed man made every one’s hair stand by his execution of “Lurline Had Terra cotta Hair.” CAUGHT BY A WOMAN. The Story a Buxom frisliwoman Told in a Philadelphia Court. Philadelphia Special John Smith to-day pleaded guilty, in the Quarter Sessions Court, to having entered the dwelling of George Francis in the night time with intent to steal. Smith is about six feet in height, robust, and of apparently great muscular development. Testimony was taken to enable the court to determine what degree of punishment should be imposed. The chief witness was Francis’s wife, a buxom, middle-aged Irishwoman. Francis is a German. “In the middle of the night,” she said, “I was awakened by a great noise. My little gur’l was still sitting up and tremblin’ and starin’ hard at somethin’ in the dark. I followed the coorse of her eyes, and, heaven betune us an’ evil, what do you think I saw?” “What?” asked Assistant District Attorney Kinsey, with evident interest: “That big man in the dock, just creeping under ray bed. Did I holler? Oh, no. I quietly took hold o’ the blanket, never say in’ a word, and my husband still snoorin’, and I waited, scarcely breathin’, till the man got near enough to me, when I whipped the blanket over his head, and held him there as nice as you please. Ah, ha, my bye, says I, I have you now in a net. Wid that he set up sich a squirmin' and strugglin’, aiid I thought he would escape me. He’s a good six-feet, as you can see, and broad accordin’, and he was like a whale in a herring net. But I held him in the blanket, with his head to the floor, till my husband, wakened by the noise and the sehramin’ of my childer, jumped out of bed to help me. I gave my husband the blanket then, and snatchin’ up my youngest baby, eight months old, I ran to* the windy and cried for help. The man and my husband had it together. The man managed to get his head out o’ the blanket, andliolted for the dure, and my husband after him. The thief slipped on the second or third step and tumbled all the way to the bottom. I saw an officer on the street. I called out to him, and he came in and arrested the thief.” Mrs. Francis’s story was corroborated by her husband and a police officer. Smith was seut to the Eastern penitentiary for two years. A Natural Red Oak Mallet. Macon IGa.) Graphic. F. A. Cox, of South Macon, brought into our office on yesterday a natural mallet. Many years ago, perhaps a hundred, some enterprising pioneer drove a two-inch oak pin into a red oak tree. The pin was about ten inches in length, and about five inches of it was on the outside. The tree continued to grow until it entirely covered up the pin, and the bark overspread the lop and smoothed off as if nothing had ever interfered with its natural growth. The tree stood in the town of Jonesboro, and measured, when it was felled, over three feet in diameter. It was cut down by Mr. T. L. Cox some time ago, and in splitting it up for fire-wood tliis pin was discovered. It was as bright and smooth as if it had been made on yesterday. Corticklli Sewing Bilk is the best in the world.
