LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, The McDonald Doom in Shelby Connty. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The attempt having beer* made to create an impression abroad that the Democracy of old Shelby had, as the boys would say, “gone back on its favorite son,” Thomas A. Hendricks, I ask the privilege, as a Democrat, to correct the falsehood through the Journal, and tell just how much there is of the McDonald boom, which can be quickly and briefly done, as there is but very little of it. It should be known there are two Democratic papers here—the Volunteer and Democrat. The latter was last fall repudiated by the Democracy, and to deprive it of the official patronage and also rebuke and set down upon its self-styled “managing editor,” one Scott W. Kay. The sheet, it will be readily observed, was without a mission. Tiie shock was so sudden, so unexpected and so stunning, that the “managing editor” actually became sober, and those who profess to know, assert that he remained in that unusual condition for at least twenty-four hours, but there is a difference of opinion on this point; but we don’t suppose a few hours more or less is material to the facts in question. Now it is essential that a paper should have a mission of some kind, and in time tue “managing editor” of the repudiated Democrat realized this fact, and conceived the idea that if he could start a McDonald boom, and it should materalize in the nomination and election of its object, he. the “managing editor,” would be a “big injin,” and could modestly claim a big office as recompense for his “influence.” But the boom “died a horning,” The elaborate editorials which be had procured someone who has brains to prepare, fell unheeded and elicited no enthusiastic response, notwithstanding, as is averred, he printed a large number of extra copies and mailed them to those Democrats who had stopped his paper, and also to a large number of Democratic papers in this and other States, the articles duly marked and the accustomed request in a large, bold hand on the margin with a red pencil, “please copy.” Blit there was no response. The Democracy of the county neither rushed in by the score to embrace liim as the originator of a boom that was destined to swamp the country, nor did the Democratic press respond to the “please copy” request worth a cent. The affair was received by the Democracy in the city here with a smile or a sneer, and occasionally gave rise to a few comments at their places of resort. This is a brief outline of the great starter of the McDonald boom in Shelby, which creates no alarm among the friends of Mr. Hendricks, and brings neither strength nor credit to Mr. McDonald, who is justly highly respected by the Democracy of this county; but they will not tolerate him nor any other man to stand between them and their choice. For years the Democracy of this county have fairly idolized “Tom.” as he is familiarly called, and will never cease urging hint for the highest position within the gift of the people while lie lives, and, as some paper remarked a while since, they would rather *ee him even Vicepresident than McDonald President. But there is always a motive in every scheme, and the real sequel of this attempted ■McDonald boom is, that the Ray family lias a grievance against Mr. Hendricks in this: When lie was elected Governor the two elder boys (the family, it will be remembered, then resided in Indianapolis,) conceived the idea that either of them possessed the requisite intellectual adornments to fit them for the position of private secretary. The fact was brought to the attention of the Governor, but lie was unable to see It as plainly as themselves, and declined to be convinced. This construed slight lias ever since rankled in the breast of Scotty and his brother, and it is a well-known fact that lie lias never mentioned Mr. Hendricks’s name in his paper when it could possibly be avoided, and never in connection with any commendation. He finally hit upon the idea that if a boom for McDonald could be started in old Shelby it could easily be made to appear abroad that tiie Democracy in Mr. Hendricks’s old home bad “gone back” on him; that of course would loose him the State and preclude the possibility of bis even entering the national convention. So you see official cupidity and revenge went hand in hand in the proposed boom that never materialized. Justice. SiiELiiYviLLE, June 25. The Removal of Miss Clark. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: An item of news published in your paper, and extensively copied, in reference to the removal of Miss Clark, principal teacher in the schools for feeble-minded children, does tier great injustice. The facts are these: Over three years ago the board of trustees called Miss Clark to her position as principal, and gave her charge of the asylum schools. In their opinion, her experience of nearly five years in the training of feeble-minded children qualified her for the responsible position to which they assigned her. Being in the employ of the trustees she lias always reported to them directly concerning the progress and condition of the schools, by their order, just as other officers were directed to do with regard to their respective departments. The present board of trustees, at meeting, left on record an order that ail heads of departments report to the superintendent, instead of the trustees, but failed to notify Miss Clark ot said order. When, therefore, the t superintendent demanded ' her report for May she refused, being still bound by the previous order of the trustees. It never having been her duty to receive orders from the superintendent, she was surely correct in waiting a notification by the trustees of any change. The superintendent, on account of the refusal, discharged her from the employ of the institution, and the trustees sustained his action. The same demand was made by the superintendent for the report in April, and refused. Still, the trustees accepted her report as usual, without question or criticism. Why did they not at that time notify Miss Clark of the latest edict? The only visible reason for her renitWal is the fact that some parties have been seeking her position with all the earnestness with which Esau sought for his birthright. But ‘‘the relations between the superintendent and Miss Clark have beeffbf a disagreeable nature for some time past.” This is readily conceded, and there are very extensive unpleasant relations existing between the superintendent and employes, if report be true, and it is at least probable that the superintendent is responsible for much of it. t Miss Clark’s efficiency is questioned bv no one, yet she is discharged upon a technicality, and her valuable services are lost to the State and the interest of tne unfortunate Hd rfltt sacrificed. Had Miss Clark been able to fully indorse the Democratic platform, and had she consented to a constant mixture of the two classes of children, soldiers' orphans and feeble-minded, we think the excuse for her removal would not have been found. Justice. Kniuhtstown, June 2. Early Religious Daj^. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: In your Saturday’s issue there was a wellwritten account of the early church history of this city, in which, however, there are two errors, viz.: In describing the old church torn down in 1840 or 1847, to make way for

the new Wesley Chapel, it is described as a log church, while in fact it was a brick building, built with galleries on both sides and one end. The outer surfaces were rough cast to represent a stone building. Again, the population in 1838 is given at 6,000, while tiie census for 1840 only gave 2,500. These are small matters, but being historical should be correct. Indianapolis, June 25. Lux. Where Are We Drifting? To the Editor cn the indlananolis Journal: Your article in the Journal of to-day on the “Murder of the Innocents,” is a “longfelt want,” for which you deserve the thanks of humanity, and especially those who have investigated this terrible evil and, looking with alarm upon its results, are anxious for vigorous efforts to suppress it. There is good authority for the statement that the crime is practiced bj T those who, in everything else, are regarded as exemplary Christians, and who express holy horror at the slightest profanity or moral dereliction on the part of others—in other words, by those who “strain out a gnat and swallow a camel.” Yes, it would be well to abandon the foreign missionary field for awhile and let every effort be made to save our own land from worse than heathenism. In connection with the possible degeneracy of the land, there is another important matter, affecting more especially the native element of our population—that is, the decrease of marriages and births in proportion to jiopulation. This is noticeable particularly among the Americans, so called, and the only apparent reuson for it is that the young men shrink from the care and responsibility which they imagine would be brought upon them by taking a wife, and the objection on the part of the young women to become mothers and to take upon themselves the cares of household duties. In fact, a wedding among our young people has come to be a rare event, and furnishes a wonderful theme for gossip for a week or more. Not so with the Germans. This class of our citizens is greatly in the minority —forms a small portion of our population—yet by looking at the record of marriage licenses you will see that every week one-half, and some weeks three-fourths are issued to Germans; while the natives go it alone, die without issue, and permit their name and blood to become extinct. A young German, so soon as he attains bis majority, takes a wife, also German, secures a home, pays for it by hard work, and settles down for life. They enjoy domestic life, love their children, and are always glad when there is an addition to the family. With them increased demands bring renewed effort and double diligence. They become wealthy and independent land-owners, with many children to represent them when they are gone, while most of our young folks wrap themselves in their selfish indolence and die off with dry-rot, all for fear of having to work to support a family. If this state of things is to be indefinitely continued the result will be the extinction of the native American and the giving over of the land to other races; and, upon the principle of the survival of the fittest, so mote it be. IndianapoLim. June 20. Physician. A Card from Rev. Dr Moss. To the Editor ot the Indianapolis Journal 1 It is, perhaps, hardly wortii while to be surprised at the information one gets about himself from the enterprising reporter and the well-informed special correspondent. Still your “special” from Bloomington, in your issue of Friday last, which I chanced to see,has so much information in so short a space that I was somewhat startled by its greatness and suddenness. Ido not like to have all my plans broken up.t and my entire life revolutionized without a little premonitory inklingof the matter. Until I saw it so stated in the Journal of the 22d inst., I did not know that I was intending to resign the presidency of the Indiana University, nor did 1 know that there was the slightest disagreement bet ween the trustees and myself about “the recent oratorical trouble” or anything else, nor did I know that I came East to “consider a call to a well-known college,” nor did 1 know that my “health has been very bad” during the past year. These, and some other things in tiie brief paragraph, are items of news to me, unthought of and unheard of before. They are reported to you “on good authority,” it seems; and yet, if it be not an exercise of too great personal assurance, or of too great disrespect to your informant, I should like to say that to the best of my knowledge and belief there is not a word of truth in any of these statements. I am in the East simply to fill some engagements. and to get some needed rest and recreation. Very respectfully, Lemuel Moss. Buffalo, N. Y., June 25, 1883. The Seventeenth in Course. I’biJndelphia Times. McDonald’s regulation weekly interview came along yesterday with punctilious punctuality. He makes his seventeenth explanation of his position on tiie tariff’, and adds to the many previous planks in his platform, one declaring that the Chinese must go. What a frightfully restless little animal that presidential maggot is, when, in imitation of Josh Billings's pills, it stops foolin’ and gets right down to business. The Great Indictment Drawer. Washington Special. Kellogg’s lawyers are very much more confident of success as they examine the indictment more closely. It was drawn by Ker. They say that of nine of his indictments in political cases in South Carolina eight were quashed as defective, and the government was defeated on tiie trial of the ninth. Dennett and His Wife. New York Letter. The senior Bennett had the most repulsive face I ever saw. The woman who could say she loved him must have been strongly fascinated with concrete and hideous ugliness, but still he got a wife whom he allowed $20,000 a year to travel with, and thus a large part of tiieir matrimonial life was spent. Tiie School-Ilouse Versus Democracy. Lafayette Journal. Democracy must retire before the march of education and intelligence. ffVery new school-house attests the #ecay of bourbonism. and every child that receives the benefit of free schools will know more than to “sell hoop-poles and vote the Democratic ticket.” As Hold as the Lions. Cincinnati Enquirer. Dan. Voorhees is about tho only politician now living who has the necessary sand and courage to talk about the tariff. Other statesmen run from the subject as from a holy terror. Daniel is as bold as the liong that he once encountered in their very den. No Democratic Enthusiasm in Ohio. Washington Special. John G. Thompson does not give very much encouragement to the Democrats or to Democratic prospects in Ohio, and lie predicts a lack of enthusiasm on behalf of lioadly. An Old Trick Revived.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1883.

M’GFOCH’S FAILURE. Liabilities, slo,ooo,ooo—Slim Chance for Creditors. Chicago Times. ‘‘Here is a part of McGeoch’s assets,” said Receiver Bensley, holding up the paste-board box he had been lugging along under bis arm. “Not all of them, I hope,” said a creditor of the Scotchman. ‘‘The best part of them,” answered the receiver. “I have been given as authority for the statement that McGeoch’s liabilities are $5,600,000. That is a mistake. The liabilities are over $0,000,000.” “That’s including the indebtedness to Alexander Mitchell,” suggested the Times man. “No,” replied the receiver, “that does not include the indebtedness to Mitchell. The books of McGeoch, Everingham & Cos. show an indebtedness to the Chicago banks, board of trade firms, and customers of over $6,000,000. Mitchell does not figure on the books stall. I know nothing of the Milwaukee indebtedness.” “How about its assets?” “I don’t know of any that amount to much. There will be about $50,000 in cash to come in, and the fixtures.” “Nothing else?” “Nothing else that I know of. The only possible way of the creditors to get anything will be for them, when the books are written up, to go to Daniel Wells, jr., urtless he is burst wide open, and say: ‘How much will you pay us to absolve you front your partnership liability?’ If that doesn’t work, McGeoch’s creditors will be out in the cold.” “What is the largest claim against the firm?” “McGeoch owes one bank a little over sl,100,000, This claim, however, is secured or nearly secuied by receipts for lard. About $4,000,000 out of the $0,000,000 liabilities is due the Chicago banks, and all of them are pretty well secured. There will be some losses, but they will be insignificant compared to tbe losses of the Board of Trade firms.” “How high do the Board of Trade claims run?” “The largest is for $120,000. There are several over SIOO,OOO. There is no evidence,” continued Mr. Bensley, “that there was any scheme to swindle anybody. I find that a few weeks before the failure $850,000 in cash came down from Milwaukee. It all went up in margins. The deal broke the Scotchman’s back, tnat’s all.” “When will you have a statement of the affairs of the firm ready?” “In about one week,” said the receiver, as lie and McGeoch’s assets turned down toward the new Board of Trade building. REV. STEPHEN H. TYNG. His Abandonment of the insurance Business—Hints of a Scandal. New York Special. It was announced a week ago that tbe directors of the Equitable Life Assurance Society had received a brief cablegram from Paris saying that the Rev. Stephen H. Tyng had resigned his office of Paris director for the society. Until three years ago Dr. Tyng was*rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity, which has one of the largest and wealthiest Episcopal congregations in the city. When he resigned it was said by his friends that his health was failing, and tnat he would be obliged to seek a change of clfmate. Other rumors in regard to the cause of his resignation prevailed at the time and have been revived by his withdrawal from the office he last held, which amounted to the control of the Equitable’s Paris agency. These rumors are of the mast sensational character, but they have never been made public. Enough of the real state of affairs was known, however, to make it plain that financial and social troubles were at the bottom of the distinguished preacher’s sudden abandonment of the and his removal to a distant city. After a while.it is said, the home directors of the Equitable became dissatisfied with the manner in which the Paris agency was conducted. It did not attain the success they had anticipated, and Dr. Tyng was informed of their disappointment. Matters not improving, Mr. Hyde visited the agency, and informed Dr. Tyng how it should be conducted. Then he returned to New York. The directors found that no alteration was perceptible in the affairs of the agency, and Mr. Hyde recently left for Paris again. The cablegram announcing Dr. Tyng’s resignation was the result of this last visit to the agency. A gentleman who was formerly a member of Dr. Tyng’s congregation says: “The society would have been glad to have Dr. Tyng’s resignation some time ago. I have reason to believe that Mr. Hyde was sent here to obtain it. Mr. Hyde’s interview with Dr. Tyng was a stormy one, and in the course of the conversation the latter intimated that he would resign for a consideration. Being asked how much he would take, lie replied, $20,000. Mr.'llvde drew a check for that amount and the resignation was written.” It is darkly hinted here that the causes leading to the resignation are the same as the causes which led to his retirement from the pulpit, and that a scandal of some magnitude has again been smothered. j Mr. Holman on Civil Service ami Politics. Interview in Cincinnati News Journal. “I confess that L do not expect the civilservice law to bring on the millennium at once, but it ought to have a fair trial, and its effects should not be misrepresented. There is not a word in the bill to justify the charge ( that it gives the present occupants a perpetual crip on the offices. It simply provides for filling vacancies, and in no way interferes with the removing power. There is nothing in the civil-service law to prevent the turning out of all the officeholders. I admit that the rule providing that each vacancy shall be filled by one of three applicants returned by the board of examiners puts it in the power of the Republicans to fill the offices with their friends so long as the administration is in their hands; but when the Democrats come into power the same rule will redound to their advantage. I regretted that the bill did not go further and regulate salaries. Many holders of Federal offices are paid two or three times as much as tiie same services demand in private business; and then there are thousands drawing big salaries from the government and rendering little or no services at all. I verily believe that an economical and honest administration of tho government could and would dispense with one third of the 100,000 officeholders now eating up the revenues wrung from tne people.” “What of Indiana politics?” “Our general election does not come off until next November a year. Nothing of special interest has yet come to the surface. 1 will say, however, that the result in Indiana depends almost to a certainty upon that in Ohio. The relations between the two States are so close, and the issues so alike in each that it is safe to sav that, as Ohio goes in ’B3 so wiil Indiana go in ’84.” Mr. Beecher’s God. Report of Sunday Sermon. My God is the God of the whole earth. He is the God of the heathen. He is in sympathy with the heathen to-day. My God is the God of all sects. My judgment in regard to the different sects is that some of them have certain qualities of excellence that we have not and certain faults that we have not. 1

think that there is enough in every one of them for the salvation of any man who will take the light that they can afford. I feel about sect3 very much as 1 should about boarding-houses—some are very good, some are middling, and some are not to be mentioned anyhow. God is not the God of the top of the church either, but of the bottom of human society. He is the God of the : whole earth. You must make your God broader, wider, nobler; your conception of God must be such a one as that men will never be willing to let him die out of their hearts when once that conception is kindled there. , • LAST BATTLE OF THE WAR. An Engagement in Texas in Which an Indiana Regiment Took Part. Albuquerque Journal. Avery interesting bit of personal and general history, especially to the residents of New Mexico and the Rio Grande Valley, is the fact that Colonel David Branson, now a resident of this place, is the man who fought the last battle and gave the last order tq cease firing, at the close of the war of the rebellion, and did it at the mouth of New Mexico’s great river, the Rio Grande. The battle was fought on May 12 and 13, 1805. Colonel Brar.son was sent out from the general camp on Brazos Islam 1 with a mixed command of about 300 men from the Second Texas cavalry, dismounted, First Missouri, colored, and the Thirty-fourth Indiana, to capture a herd of cuttle for the use of the troops. While out he was attacked by a force of about 000 Texas cavalry with artillery under General Slaughter and General Ford. During the fight a war ship arrived off the harbor with the news of the surrender of Kirby Smith, the last of the Confederate torces in the field, and consequently the end of the war. Gen. Barrett, the commander of the garrison, ordered Col. Branson to cease fighting and return, which being impossible on aefount of the pressure of a superior force and the well-known enmity on their part toward the colored troops find Southern white Union troops, the engagement was continued, though the Unionists retired,* fighting, toward the island. General Barrett canie to the rescue on the 13th with a small reinforcement, and the fight back to the island occupied all that day. Near sunset, as.General Barrett was crossing the ferry with the main body, tiie attack was renewed upon the rear guard, in command of Captain Coffin. Colonel Branson had just gone back to the guard, and the enemy were repulsed; the last battle of the war was over. Then it was that Colonel Branson, who had been informed of the good tidings brought by the warship in the offing, and fully comprehended its importance and the historical significance of that day’s work with himself as a modest though conspicuous figure in the closing scene of the great tragedy, gave the order to “cease firing” with probably deeper feeling than he ever before gave a military order, and gratefully sheathed the sword that had for five years been the symbol of command through the bloodiest war of the ages, never again, he hopes, to draw it •in deadly conflict with his fellow man. Turning to Captain Coffin he sententiously, and with an animation he can never feel again, remarked, “That winds up the war;” when tiie Captain replied, with equal einphasi*, “Yes, and I thank God we are alive.” The impressive scene closed as the sun was sinking behind the sand hills on the western bank of the Rio Grand and the Gulf of Mexico, and was witnessed by interested crowds of men perched in the rigging of eighty men-ot'-war and other shipping anchored in the offing, and flying the nags of nearly every nation on earth. M’DONALD AND HENDRICKS. Tiie Difference Between the Two Great Men on tiie Tariff'. New York limes. Obviously the Indiana Senator [McDonald] is not up to the standard of political honesty expected hv his party from its candidates, or else he has clearness of vision sufficient to see that stultification would be of no avail, and that a candidate placed on a platform of false pretenses would have no chance of an election. The same correspondent who interviewed Mr. McDonald obtained from Mr. English a statement that there was “no quarrel” between Messrs. McDonald and Hendricks. We doubt the correctness of Mr. English’s information. It is very plain that there can be no cordial unitv of Reeling between a man like Mr. McDonald, who, on the most important question of the day, speaks his mind freely, and a man who utters such intolerable and cowardly twaddle as that recently given out by Mr. Hendricks. The latter is quite capable of doing anything for success; the former, on the tariff at least, preserves a consistent and manly attitude. Whether his position he right or wrong, it is clearly defined and intelligible. The voter can know what he believes, and what he will try to carry out. Such a man can have very little sympathy with the driveling and insincere character of Mr. Tilden's companion in defeat. As both of them are in active politics, as both are seeking to influence the sentiment and the action of their party in their own State, which is just now of exceptional prominence in national politics, it is •clear that if there is “no quarrel,” there is the material for one. There is radical antagonism of views, principles and methods. For the moment Hendricks and his sinuous policy are apparently most in favor. It is no affair of ours. We should regard with great equanimity the supremacy of the Hendricks type of statesmanship in the camp of our opponents; but if it is to prevail, Senator McDonald can see that it would be no loss to him. He would only fail of a nomination, which would be followed bv defeat. _ * Wliy Voorhees Is for McDonald. Philatloiphia Times. Senator Voorhees is insisting now that McDonald and Hendricks have always been the best of friends, that they tne so now and that in all probability they always will be. He is, however, in favor of the former for President, considering him the strongest candidate now in the field. It is but natural that Mr. Voorhees should favor McDonald lor President. He remembers keenly enough how he himself was unable to reach the Senate until McDonald had been there some years, and if he should become a candidate again Mr. Voorhees might be in a similar plight. When Mr. Hendricks hears that Voorhees is against him, and Mr. McDonald knows that he is for him, they would do well to hold a meeting of condolence and determine to which one fortune has been kindest. In Re Jo. Cook. Mr. Beecher's Sermon, 1 had rather depend on the uncovenanted mercies of God than on the covenanted mercies of the orthodox. But lam not a Unitarian. Ami lam not a Univerealist, though Joseph Cook does try to crowd me over there. Joseph Cook is a good man. I expect to see him in heaven. I mean to be there, and I expect he will he there, though he will leave more Joseph Cook on earth than will suffice for him to know bis own identity. An Administration for the People. I'hiliulrlpliia Record (Did.) There lias never been an administration at Washington more amenable to the demands of public opinion than the administration now in power. To impartial and candid observers proofs are constantly accumulating of a disposition to investigate and correct abuses ami of an intention to do substantial justice without delay.

A WONDERFUL CHILD. Eighteen Years Old; Twenty-eight Inches High; Weight, Twenty-five Pounds. Wheeling (.W. Va.) Special. There is in Hampshire county, in this State, a human monstrocity, which excels anything Barn urn ever exhibited. It is a young woman, or child, born in Pennsylvania, in 1805, and, therefore, eighteen years old, who is in everything hut age an infant. She is the daughter of Mr. John E. Miller, of Shanesville. A gentleman who recently saw her, and learned her age from reliable authority, found her lying in a cradle. She is twenty-eight inches in height, weighs but twenty-live pounds, cannot walk or talk, and eats nothing but milk, which is fed from a bottle. She has, however, a quick perception and remarkable memory, and a brief poem or sentence repeated to her once, and weeks after again repeated, with but one word varying, arouses her anger, and she frowns at the changed word. An article laid down in the room and in her sight may be allowed to remain for days, yet an inquiry for it will he answered by the child by pointing in its direction. She is quite an attractive baby, and no reason for her stunted growth lias ever been assigned. The facts narrated above seem to be well attested, and many physicians have visited the child without being able to even conjecture the cause of her condition.
