The outragaous scandals that are now hurled from the rostrum and the press, by Republican ■tump-speakers and editors of the most unsavory reputation, are nothing new in the way of savage attacks upon the private character of public men. Thomas Jefferson was accused of being the “father of a negro baby," and that, too, in a day when the friends of liberty throughout the world were nearly worshiping the author of the Dec laration of Independence.—South Bend Times, (Dem.) Yes. Robert Jefferson, a colored man, who was generally believed to be a son of Thomas Jefferson, died in Indianapolis about a year ago. There was very little doubt of the paternity of the man, a full account of whose life and troubles was published in the Journal several years ► ago. BCall and see the new goods at King & Elder’s.
“GRACE AND GRIT.” Rev. Dr. Hunter’s Address to Young Men at the Seventh Presbyterian Chureh. Last night Mr. Hunter, of the Seventh Presbyterian Church, gave his sixth and last Sabbath evening lecture to young men, the subject of this discourse being. “'Grace and Grit” He took for his text, Ecclesiastes, xii, 1; ix, 10; “Remember now thy Creator, in the days of thy youth.” ‘‘Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might” He held that “grace and grit” are qualities every truly successful young man must possess Let grit be a well formed tree, then would grace be the rich soil into which it had thrust its strong roots, gaining it the life-blood which made it produce good fruit. The most useful life grows out of a religious soil. Religion gives permanency, reliability and strength to character. The cause of this is evident; for the reason that we nowhere find as pure morals taught and illustrated as we find in the religious text-book —the Bible. We nowhere find as high an ideal as we find upheld in that book. We nowhere find as noble examples as we find in the Word of God, in the history of the, Savior of men. We nowhere else learn of the condemnation that awaits the vicious, dishonest, impure and immoral that we find in the Word of God. We nowhere else learn of the rewards awaiting the true and honest, the virtuous and the good, that we find in this holy book. We use grace, to-night, as having reference to that spontaneous favor of God shown to guilty man in preparing for him a Redeemer, and in granting to him the privileges of eternal glory. Young men, I recommend this Redeemer, and the “many mansions” he has in waiting, to you. I would have you first to settle the life hereafter, then you will be free to cope with this rife in all its length and breadth of privileges. “Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth.” Your Christian life should employ your earliest and most earnest concern. I will dwell more on grit than on grace, assuming that you understand you ought to be a Christian. “‘Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.” Grit means firmness of mirid, courage, spirit determination. Without these characteristics you would be like the solder without sword or gun The sailor might as well talk of a voyage without steam or sails. This is a colloquial term, and is chosen for that reason. The majority of you are practical young men, accustomed to express your ideas in the strongest and most pointed terms possible. I desire to be understood, and am willing to use such language as will best convey my thoughts to you. As to the nature of the grit that will carry a man through life with the highest success; 1. It ought to be an interest quality of his soul. A man born a coward can never entirely overcome it. It is impossible for the leopard to change his spots, or a man to entirely oyercome his native tendencies; yet he may do much to modify either the good or the bad. Had you been given your choice at birth, genius or grit—one without the other— j t ou would have shown your wisdom by choosing the latter. Genius without will —for grit lies in the|will —is a waste. It accomplishes nothing worthy of itself. There is greater hope of the young man with moderate ability and with grit than there is of the genius with no grit—no will power. If nature has given you firmness, resolution and aggressiveness, put them in training for the heavenly race. They are sure to win in time and eternity. Another peculiarity of grit is its courageousuess. It fears neither man nor the devil. Like the brave soldier marching into battle, its only thought is victory. There is a law in the universe, adminis tered by the Omnipotent One, crowning the brave with honor, and the good with peace. That crown has the respect of men, and that peace is born of heaven. Homer taught that there were two classes of men who fol lowed war. One class was cowardly, the other was brave. The cowards were hobbling and chattering like parrots, each boasting what he could do, the brave men were led by silence, and marched to sure victory. In the work of life a true man will not faint at the first drum-beat of duty. A story is told of a young man who was wounded in the battle of Burt Run in the late war. His father arrived just in time to see the ball extracted from the back of his shoulder. Said the father: “My son, I am sorry for you, but you ought never to have been wounded in the back.” The young man turned over with great difficulty, and pointing to a wound in his chest, said: “Here is where I was shot” He had faced the enemy until he had been shot through. In the Bull Run of life we must face the enemy, even though pierced by the poisoned shafts of slander. 3. Persistency carries the spirited man to the desired goal. He has enlisted for the war. Some are wondrous brave on the eve of the battle, but run at the first smell of powder. It is an old Latin proverb which reads, “He will never enjoy the sweets of the spring, nor will he obtain the honey combs of Mount Hybla if he dreads his face being sunburnt or his hands being stung. The rose is guarded by the thorn and the honey is defended by the bee.” Persistency is not easily disquieted. It will mount every wave of opposition until it is able to plant its banner upon the shore of success. The man of great ambition, yet unwilling to cope with opposition, is a coward, unworthy of success. O, halting one! Climb to the summit of Mt. Nebo. Gain a view of the land of promise stretching out before you. There is an end to the wilderness in which you now sojourn if you push on, and trust to the bright pillar of right to direct your feet. A thimblefull of water placed in an iron ball will burst the ball when converted into steam. It can not be confined.. No more can a persistent spirit, fired with a sense of duty and a holy ambition be confined to obsucurity and failure. You now ask, ‘“To what end may a young man apply the grit that he may possess;” 1 reply it may be made to bear upon any legitimate trade or profession in which an honest and industrious man may desire to engage. There is nothing undignified in labor. Indeed, man is in his best mood and has the cleanest hands and heart when he has the most to do. No more pernicious idea ever was born than that labor is vulgar. We need something to employ our mental, moral and physical powers. Labor converts material into gold ana “is a legal tender the world around.” Labor builds beautiful homes and brings peace and comfort, like angels, to bless our wives and children. It is the pana cea for the awful curse of Eden. Says Milton: “God hath set labor and rest as day and night to man successive.” It matters not whether it be labor of the head or hands; if it contributes to the real uecessties of the race, it is a legitimate field for all the consecrated grit any young man can command. The late A. T. Stewart once said, “No abilities, however splendid, can command success without intense labor and persevering application.” Every lesson learned, every book well read, every victory over self, every obstacle overcome makes a man stronger. But it requires firmness and spirit; courage and grit to overcome and succeed. Young men, allow me to say that a true manhood must have religion at the base. If you have in view the glory of your Heavenly Father and a desire to do good in the world, you will find them wonderful incentives, helping you on in the work of life and in the labors of love.

A Light Attendance for the First Sabbath of the Meeting. The attendance at Acton camp grounds yesterday, notwithstanding the beautiful day, and the attractive feature of the day’s services, the sermon by Chancellor Sims, was far from being up to expectations. To say there were 2,000 persons present would be a liberal estimate, and this number includes the resident population, the occupants of the two hundred or more picturesque and cozy cottages. The greater part of the attendance did not come from Indianapolis, but from Shelbyville, Greensburg, and other points. During the week the following clergymen have been in attendance: Revs. J. K. Pye, T. H. Lynch, and S. T. Gillett, Indianapolis; S. Tincher, Shelbyville;

The fol lowing ministers have promised their attendance during the remaining days of the meeting: Bishop J. M. Walden, Cincinnati; Rev. B. F. Ives, Auburn. N. Y.; Rev. J. H. Bayliss, editor Western Christian Advocate: Rev. *J. J. Hight, assistant editor; Rev. Earl Cranston, Cincinnati; Rev. Wm. P. Stowe, Chicago; Kev. C. R. Mas den, St Louis; Rev. I. W.

Roberts; Rev. I. N. Clark, pastor South-side Baptist Church, Indianapolis. The services, yesterday, began at 8:30 a. m. with a love feast At 10:30 a. m. Rev. Charles Sims, D. D., chancellor of Syracuse University, New York, preached a sermon, his theme being “Seeing the Invisible,” his text being taken from Hebrews xi, 27: v “By faith * # he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.” At 2:30 p. m. Prof. Thomas Harrison, of Brownstown. preached, his text being Hebrews, ii, 3: “How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him.” Prof. Harrison first dwelt upon the greatness of the salvation, ana the greatness of its author, his object and liis means; next of the neglecters of this salvation —the skeptic, the unbeliever, the vicious, the profane, the mere votaries of pleasure, the mere lovers of science apart from religion, the mere moralist and the mere professorof religion; third, that to the neglecters of this salvation there is no hope of escape. The Jewish religion was merely a shadow of good things to come; the Christian religion is the substance of what is there shadowed forth- Under this last dispensation we now live, and if we reject this salvation there is no other mode: neither from the light of nature, nor the light of science, nor the light of morality, can we derive salvation —but only through Christ He is the way, the truth, and the life. Rev. T. B. McClain spoke an 7:30 p. m.. his theme being ‘‘Eternal Life.” He said eternal life is not wholly in the future world. It begins here. “He that hath the son hath life.” Neither is eternal life the same to every saved soul. There is infinite variety there: one star differeth' in glory from another star. Eternal life is increasingly glorious forever; all that God has shall be spread out and open to us forever. But eternal life has its counterpart—eternal death is as real as eternal life. Five young men, singers, from Hope, led by Dr. Newton, were a feature of the meetings yesterday. Mrs. Brookbank, of Jeffersonville, a noted singer, also took partin the songservice, and Miss Jennie Thompson, of Franklin, acted as organist
FOR FOREIGN LANDS. Mrs. Jennie F. Waugh and Rev. Dr. Osborne on Missions at Meridian Street. There was a fair-sized audience at Meridianstreet Methodist Church, last evening, to listen to the remarks of Mrs. Jennie Tinsley Waugh, a former resident of this city, and who left here fourteen years ago to do missionary work in India. Mrs. Waugh, who came back to this country some time ago, on account of ill-health, has spent the last three monthß of her sojourn in this city, and now, feeling that her health is restored, will leave, in a few weeks, to take up her life work in far-off India. She said that when she left Meridian-street Church, fourteen years ago, for that heathen land she felt up-borne by the prayers of this people, and that each Thursday night, at prayer-meeting in this church, she was remembered, and that this thought made her strong and kept her faithful. She felt that the years she had passed in ludia had been blessed ones, and that the missions there were doing a great and glorious Christian work for the women of that dark land. It is a blessed thing to go down into the depths and bring up these poor fellow-creatures and make them strong in faith in Christ She had found by experience that there is no danger in going to the ends of the earth if one does but trust in the Lord: the danger is in staying in a safe place without the Lord. We often hear it said that missionaries go forth taking their lives in their hands. They have a better way than that. They give their hearts to the Lord, and their hands are left free to do his work. She then described the methods of the women missionaries, who, with a knowledge of medicine, went among the women, ministering to their physical sufferings and instructing them in the word of life. The women were often afraid to let them come into their houses, and to these they would show pictures, and contrive in various ways to gain their confidence, and show them that the religion of Jesus Christ differs from theirs. That it is not one filled with horrors, but with love, and gentleness, and peace. She said that the best method of instructing the people, and the one they made great use of, was the magic lantern, by means of which they showed them pictures representing the scenes in the life of Christ, showing them the pictures while they told them the story, ftnd that in this way they could hold and instruct audiences for four or five hours at a time. In the Sunday-schools the Berea paper is used and the same lessons that are employed in this country. The ten commandments are first taught as the groundwork, and the first commandment is a blow at heathenism. Girls are not long in the schools, as they begin late and are married very young. More women and girls, by means of these women missionaries, are being reached than men, and Christianity is spreading over the country which will one day be Christ's. In Lucknow the method ia to go from house to house wherever they can gain entrance, teaching the women, and the workers cannot do the work. There is a demand there for more workers. Mrs. Waugh is a convert to the faith cure; her restoration to health having been miraculous, and, as she says, solely through her faith in Jesus. Following Mrs. Waugh, Dr. Osborne, son-in-law of Dr. Alabaster, spoke. Dr. Osborne will leave in a few days for China, whither he will go as a medical missionary. He will go to Pekin and thence into the country three hundred miles further, his field of labor being near the Great Wall
DEFEAT AND VICTORY. The Hoosiers Lose and Win Games from the Columbus Heavy Hitters. The Hoosier ball-tossers lost a game to the Columbus nine on Saturday through the superior play of the visitors, both in the field and at the bat Bond, who pitched for the home club, was batted all over the field, and the visitors earned more than four times as many runs as the home club made altogether, still the crowd saw fit to yell and jeer at the umpire, Mr. Lawler, and accuse him of “giving the game away.” In the seventh inning he was struck on the head and very badly hurt, at which the crowd yelled like a pack of hoodlums and acted in the most disgraceful and unbecoming manner. Robinson, the new catcher, made his first appearance and played a splendid game, catching without an error, making three base hits and having but one passed ball. Following is the score:

On yesterday, at Bruce’s Park, the Indianapolis club turned the tables on the Buckeye balltossers aud beat them fairly in a most interesting game. They even added insult to injury by shutting them out entirely. McKeon and Keenan were the battery and the former was even more than usually effective, allowing the visitors to make but four safe hits, one of-which was a dead scratch and no two in the same'inning. Morrison distinguished himself in center field and earned off the honors of the game by fielding out both Kemmler and Fields at home plate. Robinson played at short and gave a very creditable exhibition of ball playing. The home club made three of its runs in the third inning.as foliows:lMcKeon lead off with a clean hit to right, took second on Weihe’s base hit to left and third on Kuehue’s fumble of Robinson's hit. which allowed the latter to reach first, filling the bases. Keenan came to the bat, but Mountain was unable to get the ball over the plate, and sent him to first on seven balls, McKeon, of course, tallying. Watkins followed Keenan, and sent the ball clear over Mann’s head, tallying Robinson and Weihe. Keenan was caught at home-plate, trying to score on the same hit Iri the seventh inning, two more runs were added. McKeon led off with a hit to left, and scored on Peltz's threebase hit to right, the latter scoring on a hit by Morrison. This ended the run-getting, Weihe and Keenan striking out, and Robinson sending an easy fly to Smith. Merrill, ex-second-baseman of the Indianapolis, did the umpiring in a very satisfactory manner, Mr. Lawler failing to show up. Following is the score:

Callahan and Merrill are still in the city, but have been released, and will accept engagements elsewhere. Toledo plays to-day, to-morrow and next day. To day, Bona or McCauley and Ropinson will be the battery. The club of Richmond, Va., has made application for the place in the American Association made vacant by the disbanding of the Washington club. Quinn, who umpired the first game with Columbus here, was sent to St. Louis to finish the series there, because Von der Ahe protested against Lawler. It is not known yet who will umpire the Toledo games. The Washington club disbanded on Saturday. The Cincinnati clnb secured Fennely, their short-stop, paying him SI,OOO for the balance of the season, and guaranteeing him $2,000 for next year. Several clubs are after Barr.
Bethany Assembly. Notwithstanding the rain yesterday morning, there was quite a large attendance at Bethany Park. At 9 o’clock Sunday-school exercises were conducted by Prof. A. R. Benton, of Butler University, and, after a short intermission, Alva I. Hobbs, pastor of the Fourth and Walnutstreet Church, in Louisville, Ky., preached in the grand tabernacle. In the afternoon the president of the Kentucky University, Charles Louis Loos, delivered a dedicatory address. The holy ordinance of the Lord’s supper was observed. The night sermon was by C. L. Loos. This forenoon H. W. Everest, of Irvington, Fred Truedly, of Union City, Urban C. Brewer, of Danville; J. H. Edwards, of Ligonier, Mrs. R. A. Moffett, of Rushville, and others, are expected to elucidate the theme of the day, viz.: “Our Work in Teaching.” This afternoon Hon. W. H. Levering, of Lafayette, will tell of the advantages of union Sunday-schools, and Prof. E, E. Smith, of Purdue University, and Miss Emma Baxter, of Bloomington, will give practical suggestions on selected themes. A. J. Frank, of Martinsville, is booked for a sermon in the morning, and J. H. Garrison, of St. Louis, at night. To-morrow will be “Children's Day," when large numbers of Sunday-school scholars are expected from many towns in the State. The Old Board Again Triumphs. Judge Fay lor held, on Saturday, that the Conn cil had no authority to divest the old fire board of its powers and vest them in the chief fire engineer, and therefore refused to grant the prayer
and dissolve the injunction of the old board to prevent Chief Webster assuming absolute control of the department. The old board seems to have the best of the situation by a very large majority. THE nARRISON RECEIVERSHIP. Judfife Rand Will Sncceed Mr. Harrison.— The Status of the Trouble. In Judge Taylor’s Court, on Saturday the Indiana Banking Company receivership matter received further attention. Judge Taylor stated that while in his opinion he was powerless to re move Mr. Harrison as receiver during- the vacation, and therefore could not relieve his bondsmen from further liability, he would consent to their having a special representative to act in conjunction with said receiver, to protect their interests. The court stated, further, that ou the meeting of court next month he should appoint Judge Rand receiver, and announced that he would accept. An amendment to the previous order of the court was made as follows: And it is further ordered by said judge that all cash funds that shall come into the hands of said receiver, his agents, or employes, shall be forthwith paid and turned over to the clerk of this court for safe keeping; and the judge holds the matter of the resignation of said Receiver Harrison under advisement. It will be rembered that the first proceedings in the matter of the receivership of the Indiana Banking Company were brought in Judge Taylor’s court, Judge Lewis C. Walker acting for him in his absence. Judge Walker appointed John Landers, but afterwards removed him, when it was shown that he was an interested party, and,-in obedience to the' request of the creditors, named Levi Ritter as his successor. When Judge Taylor came' to the bench he held that the proceedings of Judge Walker in the removal of the receiver were null, inasmuch as it was done in vacation, he holding that the court had no power to remove, although it had to appoint in vacation. Judge Walker held that the power of the court was ample to protect a trust at any time, in vacation as well as in term time. The action of Judge Taylor practically removed Ritter and reinstated Landers. Then, upon the former showing, the Judge removed Landers, and appointed John C. S. Harrison. This is a brief resume of the proceedings winch resulted in the appointment of Mr. Harrison. As will be seen, Judge Taylor adheres to his ruling that the court, cannot in vacation remove a receiver. It is fair to say that in this position he is not sustained by many members of the bar, who believe that Judge AValker’s action was both legal and proper, and if permitted to stand, would have preserved the trust intact. The decision of Judge Howe, in general term, was to the effect that there was no appeal in such cases from the act of one of the Judges; that, a receiver being an officer of the court, the court had full and complete control of him, and its proceedings could not he reversed. It is understood that an arrangement will shortly be perfected whereby those parties entitled to dividends will be paid. Receiver Lamb will probably report to-morrow the condition of the available assets of the Harrison Bank. The deed of assignment of Thomas H. Sharpe was filed on Saturday. Howard Cale is named as assignee. Drs. Newcomer and Hodges report Mr. Harrison in a very critical condition, and state that his removal from his residence wouid be productive of serious results-
