Mr. Henrich rend a written statement of his attitude toward the workingmen. and the cause of the present trouble. He said that while engraved in erecting H.i.ses he had been requested by labor represe' *. lives to employ only union men He told them ;hat while he would not compe contractors on his buildings to employ union men. lie would ask them to do so. This was the promise he had made to the labor people, and be claimed that he had kept this pro muse, and he read statements shovriug the amounts he had paid for labor. He said that of the SIOO,OOO expended last year in building not $2,000 had pone to non-union workmen. In only one instance had a non-union man received employment, and that was by mistake. Mr. Henrich went on to complain of the threats which had been made by the labor representatives when they called to see him, and of their insulting language. He said that he was a laboring man himself, and in sympathy with them, but be did not propose to surrender bis personal liberty and allow others to dictate to fcnu about his private affairs. His advice to the workingmen was, emancipate s~ourseif, but do not try to enslave others. Mr. Henrich concluded by saying that every cent of money that he now possessed would be devoted to resisting this attack upon his rights as a free man. Mr. Dutton, the architect employed by Mr. Henrich. then made a statement to the effect that he had found his client to invariably favor union men and union prices. A letter was read from one of Mr. Henrich’s customers, saying that if the boycot, was continued he would have to stop using the Henrich beer. The meeting agreed to appoint a conference, but Mr. ll**nri< h repeated the remark that he proposed to fight tbis thing out on the present basis. This gave rise to farther colloquy, and in answer to the question whether he would accept an agreement reached by the committees, Mr. Henrich said: “If the settlement is agreeable to me I will accept it, otherwise I will not.” “If you defy the trades unions," exclaimed one. “I waru you. Mr. Henrich, that you will go under. Unless you come down from your high hoss," continued the speaker, “I predict that you will come to poverty.” “Very well,” responded Mr. Henrich, “I did not come to this country to be in slavery. It is not a matter of dollars and cents with me; it is a question of principle. I will stake all 1 have on this issue.” This decided attitude taken by Mr. Henrich changed the situation, and the meeting adjourned without appointing the committee.
MINOR TOPICS. Col. SteplwinMii, of the Pension Bureau, Removed for “Offensive Partisanship.** Special to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, June 3. —C01. F. D. Stephenson, of Illinois, chief of the middle di\ision of the Pension Office, was to day removed for “offensive partisanship." His successor has not yet been appointed. The middle division has jurisdiction of the pension business of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan. Colonel Stephenson fought gallantly in the Eighteenth Ohio Regiment during the war, and when General Black said to him to day: “I suppose you can make a living outside,” he replied: “Oh, yes, I guess so; I have only four rebel bullets in my body.” Gen. Black was very much worried at the and it is Baid would restore Stephenson but for the fact that Congressman elect Landes, of Illinois, told Lamar that be would never take his seat until Stephenson was removed. The Resurrection of Anoient'Mugwumps. Wiwhtngton Speeint. The disposal of George W. Julian, of Indiana, and T. W. Tipton, of Nebraska, the first as Surveyor General of New Mexico, and the last as Receiver of Public Moneys, provokes the inquiry here among Democrats as to how many more men of this character are to be resurrected before the administration gets down to active business. Julian, Ross, Tipton, Doolittle and company, are the mugwumps of twenty years ago. but hare been politically dead and buried these many years. A prorniueut Democrat remarked to-night to a group who were discussing the new appointments: “The poet sav* the mills never grind with the water that is past, but the Cleveland mill is an exception. It has been grinding *so far principally with the water that, has past” There is not a very good feoiing among the hangers-on about the hotel, but this may be said to be of a personal nature. The outs are apt to criticise the more lucky ones rather sharply on general principles. The appointment of Maynard, of New York, to the second controllership of tlie Treasury brings out, the same sort of comment. “Wonder why the President don’t appoint a New York man to somethingf’ says one with biting sarcasm. New York is thought to be getting more than her share of good places, especially iu the Treasury.
Vindication of Col. Denhy. Washington Special. Some of the newspapers that do not like any of President Cleveland's appointments complained that Col. Charles Denby, of Indiana, who was named by the President ns Minister to China, had closed his war record by resignation n consequence of the emancipation of the lacks. Language treasonable in its character •• as qnoted as having been used by him to exress his detestation of Lincoln's proclamation, od he was said to have written a letter in which ae asserted that he would “no longer fight to free the niggers.” Col. Dcnby's letter of resignation is on file in the War Department, it make no reference to the emancipation of the slaves. Colonel Denby had been wounded, and his physicians said that his injures were of such a nature that it would be necessary for him to lead a very quiet In resigning he expressed his great, regret in being obliged to leave the service, lie resigned about Jan. 15, 184*3, some time after the Emancipation Proclamation became effective. Democratic Spies. Washington Special. When the Warner investigating committee was engaged in nosing into the workings of the Pension Bureau in the hope of making a little political capital, a number of clerks in the office were summoned before the committee, and to carry favor with the coming administration many of these witnesses avowed themselves to be Democrats and testified accordingly, not hesitating to stretch a point to make sure of the favor of those who were seeking to use them. These same Democratic spies are now at their work in the bureau, spying out Republican clerks and maintaining a system of espionage in the hope of finding sufficient cause for removing them. It is probable that after the powers that be get through with these informers they, too, will be kicked out and everybody will say arneu. A Nice Summer Jaunt. WaahiugtoQ Special. Sergeant at anus Leedorn, of the House of Representatives, leaves for his home in Ohio to-night, where he will be joined by Mrs. Leedom. and together they will proceed to Omaha, where Representative Holman’s select committee of the House to investigate Indian reservations and land matters throughout the West, is to meet. The members of the committee will be accompanied by their wives, and proceed to the nearest point on the Union Pacific railroad to the Yellowstone Paik. They will visit the Sioux igencv, and at Yellowstone will leave their amines for the summer and proceed overland by earn 1.200 miles, through Idaho, Oregon, Washngton Territory and Nevada to the Pacific oast, and thence return to their families aud ome. '1 he tour will likely last until October. The Place of Publto Printer. Washington Speciul. A great deal of interest is being manifested in the appoir t ent of anew Public Printer, although it: > rot supposed that Mr. Rounds is to be disturbed at an early date. It is understood that the International Typographical Union, now in session in New York, has been given to understand that the President will appoint an fndiana man if an agreement can bo reached by
the politicians of that State. The Union will refuse, according to rumor, to indorse any of the Indiana candidates now prominently in the field, on the ground that no arrangement could be reached in their favor by the Indiana men. The opinion is expressed that the Hon. John Schley, of Indiana, will probably receive the indorsement of the convention, and is a promising candidate. Change in the Civil-Service Rales. Washington, June 3. —The arrival at New York of the last of the marines sent to the Isthmus of Panama during tho recent troubles there was reported to the Navy Department to-day. The President has amended rule 9 of the civil service rulep, relating to the examination of applicants to office, by inserting the words “no person dismissed from the public serviee for misconduct,” and beneath the words “shall be admitted to examination within two years thereafter” the following words: “and no person, who has not been absolutely appointed or employed after probation." Rulings of the Pension Commissioner. Washington, June 3. —General Black, Commisssocer of Pensions, decided to-day not to take favorable action on application for pension by any soldier who deserted from his second term of service. The Commissioner also rejected the claim of a soldier who entered the service as a substitute, deserted on his way to his regiment, and havine been captured and tried by court 1 martial, was sentenced, among other things, to make good the time lost by desertion.
The Case of Paymaster-General Smith. Washington, June 3.—The Republican, tomorrow, will say: “The Secretary of the Navy has not yet examined the record of the court of inquiry in the case of Paymaster-general Smith, and nothing official can be learned regarding the finding of the case. It is said, however, that the eridence, while not establishing any collusion with the contractors, showed such negligence and illegality in the matter of contract*?, that the Secretary will be likely to order a courtmartial.” General and Personal* Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June 3.-— Ben Louth aim, editor of the Logansport Pharos, went home to-night. Mr. Louthain is morally certain of the appointment as postmaster. James Elder, of Richmond, another newspaper man with an itch for office. who has been here several days, returned to-night. Mr. Elder is editor of a Democratic paper, and a candidate for the Richmond pcstoffioe. He will probably get :R. J. B. Stoll, who went to Harrisburg a few days ago, returned here to-day. If any Indiana man is chosen Public Printer, the chances are twenty to one in favor of Stoll. At present, however, there are no indications that the President intends to make a change. Levin Swigett, of Cambridge. Senator Charles Reeves, of Plymouth; Rev. Breeder and Mr. Russell, of Terre Haute, arrived here to-day. It is reported that the President is “down on" Bayless W. Hanna, and' that the celebrated aiuger will not get a smell of the public crib again during Cleveland's administration. A depressing rumor is afloat. It is to the effect that George W. Julian will decline the surveyor-generalship of New Mexico. This would oe good news for Carl Schurz, who hates Julian as the devil hates holy water. The Postmaster general to day appointed the following Indiana postmasters: Josiah Hodgers, at Mackßville. Vigo county: John F. Ewen, vice Joel Skelton, at Tetinison, Warrick county. Dr. S. H. Ross, of Kokomo, Ind.. medical examiner in the pension office, has resigned, to take effect on the 15th inst The members of the Cabinet have decided to follow President Cleveland’s example hereafter, and will receive no visitors on Saturday. The Comptroller of tho Currency to day authorized the First National Bank of Riverside, Cal., to begin business, with a capital stock of $50,000.

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS The Daily Chronicle of Happenings ol All Kinds in the Two States. How Dr. Voting Lost His Life—Singular Accident to Mrs. Ellis, of Terre Haute — The Harrison Count/ Kight-Eiders. INDIANA. A Lamentable Accident by Which Dr. Young Lost Ills Life. Special to the laUianapoli. Journal. Vincennes. June 3 —A fatal accident occurred this morning in Harrison township. Dr. N. Young aud &Jr. Garret Robertson, of Monroe City, were out hunting, in the woods below tbis city, about fifteen miles. When about to return home, Mr. Young took his seat in the vehicle, holding the reins of the horses, while Mr. Robertson held a gun toward him, for him to place in the vehicle. Unfortunately, at that moment, the horses started suddenly, throwing Mr. Robertson off Lis guard, and one of the wheels struck the gun, which was discharged full in the face of Dr. Young, killing him instantly. Dr. Young was ona of the most prominent citizens of Knox county, was aged about thirty-five years, and unmarried. Tha Doctor's face was horribly disfigured. Mr. Robertson, the unfortunate plan's companion, is nearly crazed with grief at the lamentable affair. Tha Harrison County Nigllt Riders. New Albany, June 3.—The Ledger prints the following: It is stated that a number of the masked night riders who visited Corydon Saturday night were recognized by citizens of that town, notwithstanding their disguises. The excitement eaused by the mob. and the notice of its presence in the town, spread rapidly and most, of tho citizens were soon out of bed and on the streets, a number of them mingling in the crowd of horsemen. It is believed that all, or nearly all, of the night riders are farmers. Every man of them was mounted on a good horse, and the horses were all masked about the head and neck to prevent their recognition. Some of the letters left by the night riders set forth that the organization extended all over the couuty, and that it would be impossible to impanel a jury in the county that would not contain one or more members of the vigilance committee and thus defy a conviction of any of its members that might be prosecuted. To meet this condition ot affairs, it is stated that the members of tho committee who are known will be prosecuted under the Kuklux law in the United States District Court of Indianapolis or New Alhany, where they may be tried without the intervention of jurymen from Harrison county, and where speedy justice is certain to be meted out. It is certainly known that those of the mob who have been identified are delinquent taxpayers. It is stated that with the $40,009 recently borrowed by the county and the payment of a reasonable-proportion of the taxes assessed, every dollar of the county’s floating debt could be paid and a considerable sura left over in the treasury. But it is also stated that there is a very large sum delinquent on the tax duplicate, some statements placing the delinquency as high as $75,000. It is further claimed that a very large proportion of those who are kicking against the management of the county finances are delinquent tax-payers and are thus responsible, in large measure, for the depleted condition of the county treasury. It is further stated that the county commissioners, in the past two or three years, have been compelled to eAnend large sums of money in the erection of widges and for other absolutely necessary improvements, and that, notwithstanding these necessary expenditures the finances of the county are in as good condition as in most of the counties of Indiana. That there is any defalcation by any county officer, or anything crooked in tho county’s books, is most positively denied. The commissioners had already appointed two reputable citizens and first class accountants to examine the books —one a Republican, the other a Democrat; but these two meu were not acceptable to tho kickers, and they demanded that two men who have been the chief growlers, and both of whom are violent partisans, should be substituted for the4wo first appointed. The threats of the mob have been of extreme violence; but should it attempt to carry out its proposed programme of poisoning, burning and killing, all tho power of the State will be speedily invoked to suppress and bring its members to justice and condign punishment. There is a deep feeling of indignation at Corydon and throughout Harrison county over the lawless infamous threats of the mob. Dr, Andrus at Franklin, Franklin Htefkld. Dr. Andrus, the able and talented Methodist minister, of our city, of whom Franklin may well be proud, is now spreading before the students some weekly intellectual feasts of a rare nature, and most esthetically arranged.
