We are confronted with the Democratic party, very hungry, and, as you may well believe, very thirsty; a party without a single definite principle; a party Without any distinct national policy which it dares present to the country; a party which fell from power as a conspiracy against human rights; and now attempts to sueak back to power as a conspiracy for plunder and spoils Geo. Wm, Curtis, June 5, 1884. “I killed Print Matthews. I told him not to vote, and he voted and 1 killed him. It was not me that kHled him—it was the party If I had not been a Democrat I would not have Billed him. It was not me, but the Democratic party; and now if the party is a mind to throw me ott, d—n such a party.—E. B. Wheeler of Hazlehurst. Miss, afterwards elected Marshal by t£e Democratic party. I have carefully observed the attitude and movements of the Democratic party for twenty, rears; In my judgmentit has learned nothing and forgotten nothing, So far as lean perceive, It Is not only swayed by the same principles, hut, to a large extent, guided by the same men.—President Capen, of Tuft’s College, Mass. THE LIBEL ON MR. BLAINE. It [thelibel on Mrs. Blaine], is the basest and foulest job of scoundrelism that ever found its way Into an American canvass.—Louisville Courier-Journal. THE CANDIDATES CONTRASTED. Mr;: Blaine has what may be called the American instinct.—Geo. Wm. Curtis, in Harper’s Weekly, Nov. 5. 1881. “I have no personal grievance with Gov. Cleveland. I shall speak from the record, and I will ask to beostracized from all decent society If I ean not point to corrnption stalking straight to the door of the executive mansion and knocking at the door and ooming out of the door, with all that corruption sought at the expense of the people. If I can not prove that bribes known to fail in the Assembly in 1883 were placed so near Mr. Cleveland that if he does not have the money he can get it at any time—if I can not prove that lam not what I profogs to be;”—State Senator Graiy before the Tammany Committee; Sept. 8, 1884, “Is there any good reason why Hendricks should be selected from forty-five millions of people to be the possible head of a Government which he did his best to destroy?”—GEO. W.Cmms in 1876. THE STATE CANVASS; Republican meetings will be held in the State and addressed as follows: HON. W. H. CALKINS AND HON ISAAC P.

TIIE COURT RECORD. Supreme Court—Sept. fS. INFORMATION—DEFECTIVE AFFIDAVIT. 11715, Franklin Brunson vs, The State. Hamilton C. C. Niblack, J.—Prosecution for forcibly freeing a person from arrest; As the affidavit upon which the information is founded is copied into the record it does not charge, either directly or by any fair implication, that the defendants forcibly freed’Tomlinson from arrest. The affidavit is confused and uHcertoin and hence materially defective. When the affidavit is insufficient the information based on it can not be sustained. (83 Ifid., 171; 92 id., 376.) Judgment reversed. DECEDENTS’ ESTATES—REVIEW OF JUDGMENT, ; 11714. George W. McCurdy vs. Mary F; Love; Executrix. Marion 0. 6. Howk, J.—A complaint to review- the proceedings and judgment upon a claim against a decadent's estate is not authorized by the statute regulating, the settlement Os such estates. The provisions of sec. 615, B. S-, in relation to the review of judgments in civil actions are not applicable to judgments rendered Upon claims against decedents’ estates. In such cases the 1 only statutory remedy of the party aggrieved is by an appeal to the Supreme Court, as provided in section 2454, (See 80 Ind., 95.) Judgment affirmed. 11641. Christian E.' Zimmerman vs. Mary F. Love, executrix. Marion 0. 0. Howk, J.—The questions in this ease are substantially the same as those in the case proceeding, and upon the authority of that case the judgment is affirmed. DITCH ASSESSMENTS—LANDS IN TWO COUNTIES. 11277. Vestal C. Shaw vs. ex pel. Whitmore. Grant C. 0. Hammond, J.—ln an action by the commissioner of drainage to enforce a lien on real estate for an assessment for drainage, it is only necessary to file with the complaint a copy of the special proceeding which creates the lien, but faots must be averred showing a substantial compliance with the statute in all the proceedings from the filing of the petition to the last act required to be dene by the commissioner. (See 87 Ind., 244: 83 id;, 520; 06 id., 445; 62 id., 253,) In this casefhg complaint failed to aver the filing of petition,.notice and reference to the commissioner, aa required by law. The demurrer to the complaint should have been sustained. The statute clearly gives the court of the county in which the petitioner’s land is situated jurisdiction as to atl other lands affected by the proposed work, though looatetl in another county. This jurisdiction is not unconstitutional. Judgment reversed. RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL —BILL OF EXCEPTIONS “"PRACfIOIS. 10606. James Redinbo vs. Daniel B 1 Fretz. Tippecanee C. G. Zollars, J.—Under the code of 1852; an action for an accounting and settlement of partnership affairs was triable by jury, and the error in refusing such a trial is not rendered harmless by the fact that under the code of 1881 the party would not be entitled to atrialby jury should anew trial be ordered. (9 Ind., 558; 46 id., 187). The bill of exceptions was not filed in time, but the record shows the reference of the ease to a special master commissioner for trial, over the objection and exoeptionof appellant. Where pleadings, papers or entries are a part of the record, without a Inil of exceptions; demurrers; objections and exceptions in relation thereto are alse parts of the record without a bill. (19 Ind., 130; 58id.. 60; 66 id., 285; 73 id., 168; 74 id., 230.) The entry of the order of reference to the master was a proper entry in the case, and is a part of the record wtthout a bill of exceptions; hence the objection and exception to the order are parts of the record without a bill. It is thus apparent from the record that over the objection of appellant he was denied a trial by jury. For this error the judgment must be reversed. (61 Ind., 392.) Judgment reversed. MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATION. 10093. City of Valparaiso vs. Jos. Gardner; Porter C. G Elliott, C. J.—Action by appellee to enjoin appellant from contracting for the erection of water works. The city proposed to make a contract fbr water for a period of twenty years, at' ah annual rental of $6,000; and the question presented is whether such a contract is within the constitutional provision which prohibits cities from becoming indebted in excess of two per centum of their taxable property. The city answered that the current revenues would enable it to meet all its expenses, pay the annual water rent, and provide for the sinking fund required by the statute. The city hadthie right to contract for a supply of water for twenty years, (66 Ind:, 396 ( Dill, Mun. Corp., secs. 473,474.) The question is whether such a contract creates a debt for the ag-. gregatesrun of $120,000, oris so be considered as creating a debt of only $6,000 a year. His Honor enters into an elaborate discussion of the question and an exhaustive examination of the authorities of Illinois, lowa and other States, and concludes that the inhibition of'the Constitution does not apply to contracts fbr water to be paid fbr as the water is • furnished, provided it is shown that - the contract juice can be paid from the current revenues as the water is furnished amt without increasing the corporate indebtedness- beyond the constitutional limit. (See-08 111.. 416: 36 lowa. 396; 42id.. 614: 49 id., 58- 15 Cal., 430; 27id,, 175; 01 PP. Si., 398; Dili; Mun. Cor., see. 88.) The demurrer to the answer should, have been overruled.

L. D. Richardson, of the Chicago and' Ohio River pool, returned'from Chicago yesterday. He states there is trouble with the Chicago and St. Louis pool, and freight and passenger rates are somewhat demoralized. Mr. Richardson thinks, however, that-the troubles will be adjusted in a day or two, and the C-, B. & Q. peo pie will abandon the putting on of a fast solid , train-between Chicago and St. Loui3. A little encouragement and: respectable headquarters has developed theability of W. J. Nichols. local passenger agent of the Bee-line system, in a manner which even surprises’ his oW-thne friends; and the Bee-line management could do no better than to appoint Mr. Nichols as the successor of'Dave Edwards, their Southern passenger agent. It is' understood that Mr. Morlidge is to fill the position but temporarily. B. F.

It is stated by the friends of the Wabash, however, that Ptesident'Joy and Secretary Ashley, of Wabash, went to- Europeat the request of the general mortgage bondholders in Europe. The European bondholders wanted to have better knowledge of‘the reorganization plan, and aide wanted tone* Mr; Joy and learn from him' what policy he proposed to adopt in the management of the road.

A Difference of Opinion. 1%0: Railroad Gazette says of the retirement of George'R. Blanchard from the viee-presidimey of the Brie: “Mr. Blanchard has been one of the moat- peominont milroad men for most of the time since’he has held the position of vicepresident, and before that of traffic manager of the Brie, having conducted the larger part of the’ compaßj-'s numerous and : complicated s negotiations with other companies regarding traffic, etc., which have absorbed mueh -of the time of lead:ihg railroad men of late years, and which serve jbetter than almost anything else to make a man known ia the railroad community. Perhaps no tone of the chief officers—presidents and managers chiefly—engaged in these negotiations, has , been more successful in attaining his ends than Mr; Blinehard, who' seems to have an extraordinary aptitude for such work, always commanding' attention to' Kis proposals and exerting an unusual degree of personal influence.” The Boston Commercial Bulletin says of Mr-. Blanchard: “His salary, as viee-president of the Erie—an office which he has held since 1872—lias been exaSSy $12,000 a year. It was that-when Jewett Was made president; and it was never-changed. Mr. Bhreehartl lived-at the rate of $50,000 or $60,006 a year. He bougiit a $20,000 painting from a French artist. He built a hbUse is New York, and a' cottage at Long Branch; He became, in other words,-luxurious. His resignation was purely voluslary. He resigned because he knew that the now manage ment wbuld demand his retirement if he did not got, out of his own accord. Tfterewill be several other changes, The force that has driven' Jew; ett and Blanchard from their stronghold will not be satisfied until several of their satellites have followed the same course; It is hardly necessary to inquire how Blanchard has supported his inarnierof living. There has not been a pound of freight carried by the Brie, road which has not paid a royalty, as it were, to the iusiders. The only nmn who has not made much out of his position is Spencer, the treasurer of the Erie company,"

A'Slngular Ruling by a Texas Court. A rather singular case and a eortainlysingular ruling is published in the Houston Post of the 13thl Frank Hanbalt, a merchant of Brenham, brought suit against the Gulf, Colorado & Saute Fe for injuries to his person which he sustained by the giving way of a plank laid between the station platform and one of the box-cars belonging to the Santo Fe road while he was coming butoror entering the car in whioh was a shipment'of freight consigned to him. In the foil Mr. Hanbalt brfilsed the bone and lacerated .the flesh of his ankle. He placed his damages at $10,006. In giving the caw to the jury the court instructed that the custom of merchante going in and tout of the eftfo to attend to the re-covery-or sending of freight was to be presumed in the absenoeef proof to the contrary,- and that; such being the oase, it was the duty of railroad companies to provide safe means of passage in and ouSuf their care, and they were responsible for all injuries resulting from- imperfect provision of such methods of ingress and egress. The court further stated that it was th* duty of railway station agents, if tho custom alluded to did not prevail, to have posted up. notices warm

Baying Oat Wok for Coasmissioner Doherty. Commissioner Fink evidently means that Commissioner Doherty, of the Indianapolis castbound pool shall be kept busy, and has laid out 'one task which will give lrim something to do fbr some time to come. From th* first inauguration of a pool ah this point up to the presenttime, all through business shipped east over the .Pennsylvania lines from Columbus, or points ‘South on the J., M. & I.” road, has been forwarded via the Cambridge’City branch and Has i beeti rutrthrough, dear off all east-bound pool*. ; While any business the*Bee-Rue ot: 1., B. & W. may get from Columbus or other points on the J., ,3t- St I. road goes through thio Indianapolis pool. Mr. Doherty is asked to ffec upon some plao by which the business of the 0., St L. & P. shall be reported to the pool again. Since the .’opening of'the T. H. & L. extension of the Vani daHa sixty to eighty car-loads of through freight : shipped from points on the Evansville & Terre Haute rosd and from Terre Haute to go east over someone of the roads which cross the Van* dalia extension in the nenhem part of the State' have been going forward; clearing successfully all east-bound pools. Connnissio&er Fink asks Commissioner , Doherty to arrange some scheme by which this business can-be caught, one of the east 1 bound : pools, and as the general freight agents of ; these no country chumps in mlroad 1 ing, Gommissioher Doherty is at bis wits’ end' to understand how best to tackle the question. . Wall Street Hammering- the Ohio Sc Mississippi. The* Wall-street syndicate of liars are now hammering the Ohio & Mississippi-road, which is ■ just getting its head above water. They have : started a. report that the floating debt of the road is $2:381,301. This crowd of railroad .wrecker* must know that last soring, when President’ Pbabody succeeded' Receiver Douglas, :Up©u the release of the road from the control of .the a committee of reorganization gave bonds to discharge the floating debt above menitloned. The'interest in default on all'the bonds . was paid by the road's secretary, and the second ’mortgage and Springfield division bonds are to,day selling ex. all back coupons. The sale of the new S per cent, bonds to Mr. Garrett and his . associates also provided for all sinkingfund dues, and Mr. Garrett is authority for the’ statement that “nearly all the outstanding claims against .the O. & M; road are paid, and the bondsmen will be discharged within a very brief tittle. "The contest fbr the control of this valuable property which has commenced bids fair to result somewhat differently from previous ones; The premium for proxies is offered by the Garrett party, .while there is no doubt that a majority of the stock is held' by opposing interests. ”

Railway Receiverships. During the present year upwards of twentyfive different railroads have gone into the hands -of receivers, and withln the past eight years 290 'companies with an aggregate of 555,000 ; miles of road have been sold under foreclosnre from the : hands of receivers, to say nothing of' the great number which have been redeemed by the stockhoMprs. The purpose of a railway receivership at'the present day is to carry on the property with the view of ultimately reßtbrthg it to its .owners. The Vermont Central road was the first road placed in the hands of a receiver, which :was done November 1, 1854 Railroads differ • from banks, manufacturers, etc. A railway , cannot be wound u|i Once built, it must con timre to be operated; because the interests of the whole region through which it runs, as well as Os its owners, are dependent upon its continuance.

Really a: Serious Matter.

Should the pool commissioner decide that the Bee-line and the C., St L. & P. have a right to steal from the 1., B. & AY., as the latter allege they do, freight brought in here, if it is contacted to go east over the 1., B. & W., providing the I;, B. & W. is paid local rates to Indianapolis, the latter threatens to do as do ■the I. & St. L. and Bee-line—ignore .Indianapolis, Hill everything through, and not attempt to furnish Indianapolis elevators with business or help niaiutain the stockyards at this point, which arc acknowledged to be the most convenieot and best-arranged'yards in the oonntry. Such a move on the part' ofthe 1., B. & W. would" be unfortunate for Indianapolis. There has already been too much of this making Indianapoiia a way station. Still Prosperous. The earnings of the Pullman Palace Car Company for the first ten days of September show an increase of over $4,006 per day, as compared with September last year, which was the best mouth in the history of the- company. The city of Tollman; independent off the car works, is 'nowgiving the company an income of about isl,ooo per day net, its revenues being larger than ever before. Applications are nowon- file for over 700 houses in- this- unique city. An feixtra dividend of or 2 per cent. wiH soon be 'declared by the corporation, and be made paya--ble in November.

The Conferene at Chicago. ; Chicago,’ Sept IC.—The- Western Railway ■ conference adjourned at 1:30 o'clock. The genial plan submitted by the committee, for the : formation of' four pools on California and Col’orado business, twb' east and two west of the , Missouri river, was adopted-by a unanimous vote. The meeting then' took up consideration of continuance of the tripartite pool and the relations -it would'sustain toward the new combiua : ;tion if it was allowed to continue in force. Discussion upon this point was only entered upon when the meeting adjourned. An official of ' tho Union Pacific, after the close 'of the session, said that the tripartite pool certainly would continue in force, though certain changes might occur in its workings to conform to the plan of the new pool. Other officials declare that continuance of the tripartite dool, if insisted upon, will probably result in the defeat of the organisation of the-proposed pool. : In the afternoon the formal adoption of a pool;ing arrangement to cover Colorado and California business was decided upon, contingent, However; upon a settlement of Nebraska business, Or in other words, a rearrangement of the .tripartite pool to meet the wishes of all the, Omaha roads. The general conference adjourned and the Omaha reads took up the discussion of' •Nebraska business. Vice-president Potter, of ; the Burlington, made a-projposition for pooling Nebraska traffic, the Burlington' to receive its pro rata of Nebraska business and also of the local traffic of the Uuioa Pacific, Waiving all claims to the competitive business of the Union Pacific in Nebraska. This was voted 'down. The Northwestern representatives then jpoved that Burlington receive its pro rata of all l*cal and Competitive business of the Union Pacific. This, naturally. Was also voted down, Rock Island & SE'Paul voting inr the negative on both propositions. The conference adjourned 'till 7 o'clock tomorrow. An official of the Burlington road to night said the present outlook xlid not appear favornlile to auy immediate adjustment of the -pending difficulties:

An Unsatisfactory Cotton Rato. ‘ St Louts, Sept 16.—The cotton rate between Imre and New Ybrk;' as (iked by Commissioner Ifink, thirty-fivecents per hundred, and which l gpes into effect to-morrow, is very unsatisfactory to four of the five reads interested in the and will, u* doubt, result in cutting at tonoe. It is five cents higher than the rate asked; and representatives of the lines con oerned say itwitt prevent them from competing with Memphis; New Orleans and Galveston, and is. not at all likely t* be adhered to.

In the Criminal Court, yesterday, Della Cummings, an incorrigible colored girt, was sent to the Female Reformatory, and the cdseql James Moore, accused "of burglary, was taken under ’advisement; John Barbour, a. young coloredman, who broke into a store at Danville, Monday night, and: then: glide a ! horse, was* caught near Baglo creek by the police, yesterday, morning; brought into court, and sent North for'three years on a plea of guilty, all of which happened within nine Honrs.
