did so much .o U7 deep and broad for the building of posterity. Treat had, shortly before, transferred his oistizgnished eerviees from the State to the federal ronrt, and Trumbull, irhom we welcome here in the full tide of successful practice, bad bat just entered opon hia CTeat career in the national Senate, having for his eolleacpa Stephen A. Douelfi, whose remarkable abilities had already made his nam a household word. Manniere. who died all too early for hi fame, graced the Circuit Beech, and the astute and logical Joho Vilon adorned the Court of Com tnon Pleas, while I'ayoe Freer discharged to entire satisfaction the duties of sole master in chancery of Cook county. 2Ir. Justice (McLean, who had been Postmaster-general under Mouroe, and appointed to tie Supreme Court by Jackson, was oar circuit justice, and the beloved friend who haa honored us by pretiding on this occasion Drummondl had for several fears been informing the country, through the deeiiens of the United States Court for the Northern district of Illinois, that judicial capacity was not con. fined to that part of the country eat of the Allegheny mountains. Long ncsy he be spared in his aell-earned retirement to find that 'As the evening twi'teht fades away, The sky is filled with stars invisible by day." In our courts appearel from outside the county inch accomplished lawyers as Arabaham Lincolc, Archibald Williams, OrrvWe II. Browning, James F. Joy, J. II. Purple. Charles B. Lawrence, Leonard iwett, and a host of others, while our local bar wis rtresected bv such men as Beckwith and Arnold, Biodpett and ilcAHister, liitchcoek and Tom iloyne, and Sam Fuller, and Kales, and Walker, and Dexter, tnd Tuley, and Anthony, and ilcCapg, and, a little) latter, Jewett, and Arington, and Goudy, and Ayer, and but I cannot go on. The list would embrace substantially the entire roll of the bar, for the fightisg was hot, and every man seemed to be a little corporal. For learning, accuracy of thought, knowledge of xnen, eloquence, industry and skill, the blench and the bar of that day were the equal of thoje of elder communities, as, indeed, I need not say, since victories are still won and prizes of victory awarded by many of the veteran field marshals who put the squadrons in the fell in that old and far-off time. If there was something lacking in the saaviter In modo. it was fully made up by the forliter in re if there was kometirae a little neglect in literary culture, the exigencies of the time did not seem to demand absolute sleganee of diction in all ease. The law was tLe.r ichoolinaster. and familiarity with its precepts led to tie knowledge and application of its principles and strength !n its expression. Acd there was in all an rrprit da corps which made them a band of brothers duagreeitg only by a?rwment., glorying in the adrancetrtent of their fellows, and jealooaly alive to the preservation of the integrity sad honor of the profession. Ia the laosi of those years Chicago has multiplied many times ia wealth and population, and more in power, passing from the overgrown town to a cit, nd throur the baptism of fire from a city to a world u itself, tr.e cosmopolitan center of a great people; r.d. as litigation has increased and new questions hava risn. the bench and bar, reinforced by the steady tide of fresh blood Howing in from every teat of leamiiig and every quarter whose confines honorable ambition found too natrow for expression, have kept tciUiv abreast of the progress of mankind. So

problem in any branch of the law but has received a-ieocate treatment and accurate solution at tLoir hicos, while, as of ycre. the spirit of fraternity infused through every member of the mass has pervaded, attained and actuated the whole. And it has one to pui thata the atar of empire, moviair we-t ward, hangs fixed and resplendent above the glorious valley of the Mi-Uaippi, a member of that bsr, a citizen of Chicago, has been designated to t"ie hwaithip of the zaightif st tribunal on tarth.

Judge Walter ( Gre&ham, who waa to apeak next aJter llr. Fuller, Wiis greeted with rousing rhetrs upon arising to address the assemblage. The display waa one of nnutual enthusiasm. Judge Greshaia s:id: Mr. Chairman and Oeutlemeu Socitj caunot be tn&intained without tribunah uthorizeu to he.r and determine controversies arising between itiiviiuais in Oiieir manifold and complex rela'.iou: tlie iraicri are, therefore, of a capable and upri'ht judiciary eAbnot be overstated.

It h: heen nai4 that, owing to th inllexibility of the w, courts are sonme' preventd from administering justice between litigants. Karely. very rartly, i tij the case.

The speaker pronounced the neir Chief-justice "a gentleman thoroughly tadoetrioatdd in! the principles of onstitutional -2T government, and who Kill be as loata to encroach upon the prerogatives of the other departments as be is realoas to maintain those belonginz to his owe.

Miss Eliza Garner, a "plump and pleasant person." about thirty-five years oid and a cative of Union county, is out announcing herself a candidate, for school commissioner of that county. U iaa Garner was a candidate at the Democratic primary elections for the nomination, but she received only forty votes.' She ba derided to boit the Dernscratio ticket, and will run as an independent. The Kepublicans will have no county ticket in the field, and may rally to ber support.

STUMP OBATOBY IN INDIANA

The Tide of Eloquence and Argument Continues in Its Resistless Advance. Reports Sho win the Interest Voters Are Taking in the Canvass and the Favor iu Which Republican Doctrines Aro Held. Smallwood at Lafayette, fpeclal to the Indiaranolls Journa. Lafayette, Sept. 24. lion. John J. Smallwood spoke here, Saturday, to a large audience in the afternoon, and in the eveniue he spoke in the hall to the colored people. Sunday mornine Mr. Smallwood spoke to the colored people upon the subject, "True Mankind and Womankind." On Sunday, in the afternoon, Mr. Smallwood spoke to a mass Sunday-school meeting amonz the colored people. Sunday night ho spoke in the colored Baptist Church bv special iuvitatioo. He bepged the negroes not to be fooh. "Do not," continued the speaker, "allow any man to come to yon and lead yon away from the faith of honesty, truth and gratitude." Mr. Smallwood paid the great men of the Nation a fine tribute of respect. Among the names he mentioned as friends of his race were Abraham Lincoln, Wendell rhillips, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner and Senator Anthony. Then, turning to the ladles, he suddenly grew eloquent, and said, "I see now, in my imagination, that sick saint, that true woman, that Clod-given American writer, that lover of our Republic and her freedom, that lover of negro freedom, that beloved lady, Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, lying upon her bed in her sick room at Hartford, Conn., saying in ber prayers to Cod, 'Lord, thou knowest that 1 wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin to aid in the freeing of the American nesroes.'" Mr. Smallwood has made a lasting impression here, upon both black and white. He is a real orator, and very winning in his manners and debates. Mr. Smallwood told the people here, Saturday, that Connecticut would cast its electorial vote for Harrison; that in Virginia, at one of his public meetings. 300 ex confederate soldiers stood up saying they would vote for Harrison and protection. Mr. Smallwood, on Saturday night, told the colored people that the Hon. IL Q. Mills, of Texas, was not the man to come to Indiana to tell the honest people how to vote. Mr. Smallwood said that four years ago, Hon. W. II. Weaver, an educated and respectable colored man, who owned $7,000 worth of property in Virginia, went to Texas to make a speech in Mr. Mills's district; thai tho Democrats shot him and killed him. That now, in Mills's district, negro men with from six to eight iu their families are compelled to labor fourteen hours for a day's work, for $0, $7 acd$3 per month; that Mr. Mills himself is pajlnc negro labor to-day, only $0 and I7permcntb. Mr. Smallwood then resd a letter from a white gentleman in Mr. Mills's district, stating that Mr. Mills, in a speech in bis district four years ago, said tbat tbi u?sro could not be paid more than $3 permcntj, that be was unfit for higher wages. "Now," continued the sneaker, "he comes to Indiana toell the workingman how to vote. I say tbat if any negro ie so untrue as to follow Mr. Mills and his freetrade policy, he is unlit to be called a true American cesro.'' Mr. Smallwood begged the negroes to stand by Harrison and protection, Hovey and honesty. General ISassey at Paris. Corrf.Ton.leneo .f the Indianapolis Journal. Paris, Sept. 24. Gen. Cyrus Pnsaey, cf New York, delighted his old friends in this psrt of Jennings county last night, by making the Dost political . speech ever delivered in this county. General Bossey spent a part of his boyhood days at this place and there was a great deire manifested to hear him. The meeting was very larze; delegations came from all parts of the surrounding country, some of them ten and twelve miles. There were two bands of music and a glee elub which dispensed patriotic music. General BusBry wss introduced to tho audience and received a royal welcome. He spoke for two hours. The tariff question was handled in a manner to make every one understand the pre it benefit conferred upon them by maintaining the protection poiiey advocated by the Kepubhcan party. There were a large nam ber nf old soldiers present who were delighted wiih General Bussev's tribute to General Harrison and General Horey, the soldiers' friendj. lie nrcd every man who bad belonged to tho army to stand bv these great leaders who represented the princioles and cause for which they fought. General linseey exposed the third party aud showed that it was being run in the interest of G rover Cleveland. He resd a nrivate circular emanating from tie office of Funk Ar Wagnalls. 44 Fleet street, London, with an office in New York, ealliog for contributions to send tne Voice, a thira-psrty paper to 500.000 farmers in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and New York, and prodoced evidence that these papers were being sent to none but Republicans, showing that the mission of the so-called Prohibition tarty is to defeat Harrison and elect Cleveland. The Voice is being sent to a large nn ruber of Republicans in this part of the county. The Republicans iu this eounty are enthusiastic and will show substantial gams at tho coming election. CapL'John Worrel at Stllesville. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. Stilesville, Sept. 21 The spacioos room of the public school building at this place was densely filled on Saturday night to bear a thorough discussion of the tariff, in all of its phases, as set forth in the Mills till, and the American or a proteetive tariff as contained in the Republican national platform. After the inspiration of a socg from a glee club o! young ladies from Union Valley. Mr. Worrel began his speech, and for near two hours held tbe closest attention of bis audience, aorne of whoa had voted for Will iam Henry Uarn?on for President, and had come a distance of five or six miles to get their political strength renewed. Tne history of pro tection, as advocated and inaugurated by the ereat apostles and light of Democracy, Jeffer son an1 Jackson, was first taken up and disposed of. The speaker then contrasted the his tory of protective legislation from that early time to the present, with the effect uooa the country cr a tanil ror revenue onlv, or the first short atep towards fiee trade, showing clearly tbat the country has al ways prospered under protection: that good times have always followed it as effect follows cause, and that hard times and financial strin gency have ever been the legscy to the conntry after a revenue tarin. as-exemplified during the administrations of an Buren, Fillmore, Buchanan, etc., and concluded by a merciless dissection or ir. Cleveland s iree-trade metag?. the Mills bill, and exposed the effort of Demo cratic speakers to catch gudgeons in tbe Northwest and in our manufacturing centers by deny ing that they are for free trade, while the sop is all intended ror tne fcoutn, and is free trade in eface. The effort of Mr. Worrel was so thorough and exhaustive that many of the crowd were heard tossy that they knew nothiog or the tariff before. . Mr. Bynnui at Pendleton. Special to tue Indianapolis Journal. PuNDLmox. Ind., Sept. 24. Congressman W. D. Bynum addressed the Democrats of this place to night Great preparations bad been made for a large crowd, but your correspondent sat in a position overlooking the audience which Mr. Bynum addressed for two hours and a half, and counted but 300 people, of whom, it is safe to say, 100 were Republicans. Mr. Bynum met with somewnat tbe same experiences as Mr. Voorbees at the Democratic committee-rooms. II alighted from the noon train from Indianapo lis and was mistaken ror a drummer by tbe city drayman, wdo assea mm wnero be would have his trunks delivered. He was in town foliv an hour before the Democrats were avar6 of his ar rival, and they mint not have learned of the fact until later bat for tbe kindness of a Republican. There was a strik ing contrast between the meeting to-night and tnat wbicn ex-uoverr.or Jt'orter addressed at this place last Wednesday. Hoodlumism and drunkenness seemed to have taken possession of tne crowd, and the speaker was obliged to stop several times oa account of tbe disturbance. while only those close to the stand were able to bear what was said. lie confined himself en tirety to the tariff question, and his address was made up of misstatements on a par with bis other speeches. After tne meeting the writer talked with several of the leadinc Democratio farmers of this community, who said that if that was the way their speakers misrepresented things they had had enough. There is a quiet but steady change going on among tbe most in telligent Democrats here, which will make itself felt in November. Litchman at Connersvllle. Corre ir-onJence of the Ir rfiananoli Journal Conneksville. Sept 22. Despite the al most superhuman efforts of. the local Democracy of this city to prevent the worktngmen from attending the meeting to-night, to hear the speech of Charles EL Litchman, the large hall was packed to almost suffocation.

Seymour, Sept 21 One of the largest meet ings ever assembled in this place was held in the Wigwam to-night, to hear Gen. Cyrus Bussey, of New York city, on the political issues now before the people. There was unusual interest manifested in General Bnssey's coming, he having married his wife, a daughter of -Dr. Wm. P. Riser, at Rockford, and bis father, Rev. Amos Bussey. having been a ministarof the Methodist Church, widely known by our peopie, among whom he preached many years. There were many Democrats who came to tbe meeting who had known General Busney in other years, believing tbat they could place implicit confidence in his statements. General Bussey was introduced to the audience by Wm. IC Marshall, vice-president of the Harrison and Morton l.uo. and for more than two hours held his vaot audience, while he delivered the most convincing speech ever heard in this city. His long experience as a merchant enabled him to explain the tariff question in a manner which overwtelmiogly answered the cry of tne Democratic orators of the Mills type, and dem onstrated that the industrial policy of the Republican party during the past twenty-seven years bad made the Nation prosperous, furnished a mark et for tho products of the farm,' and protected labor in, all parts of the country. He proved to tut eauiihciion oi every unprejuuiceu man in the audlsnee that manufactured artices produced in this conntry had been cheapened by the tariff and that the manufacturer had not made a greater profit on his investment than he deserved to make, . and cited tbe fact that 4j0 iron and steel-mins, foundries and blast furnaces had failed in this country within twenty years. II showed that we bad paid hngland thousands of millions for Iron and steel rails anu manufactured goods which could have been saved to this country by a frotective policy, adhered to ia the early days ot oar history as a Nation. General Ltus3y paid a splendid tribute to General Harrison, who has been assailed by the Democratio candidate for Secretary of State, who charged General Harrison with gom to New lork and attending a dinner given at Deimonho'fl, "a low saloon place in that city." He exDlained tbe circumstances of General Harrisons participa tion in tbe celebration of the anniversary of the birthdar of Abraham Lincoln, where be bad delighted an audience composed ot nearly SCO of the leading men of New York. Among them was Governor Lounsbery, the present Governor of Connecticut, and Hon. Warner Miller, who will be the next Governor of New York, both members of the late General Conference ' of the Mthodit Church, which convened In New York. fOeneral is'Hsoy ?ai t be probably understood wny ilr. Myrs sappossi Delmonico's was "a low saloon dive." such as hedeicribedit to b in his speeches, as be bad attended a dioner given at the same place before Gen. Harmons viit, and sat at tbe same table, on which oceaiou Grover Cleveland was one of ths guests. His answer to Goternor Gray's eft'o?t to win the soldier vote By telling them that the money the government paid thera with during tbe war was only worth CO cents on the dollar, was a magnificent tribute to the patriotism of Indiana soldiers. He had seen these men in fiercest battles, and on the march, and believed every true soldier would feel only contempt for the leaders of a party which gave aid and eemfort to the enemy, who now try to win their votes by telling them what the Republican party did when the i lire of the Nation was in peril. His referenco to Gen. Alvin I. Hovey, wiib : whom he. served ia the Arkansas campaign and during the campaign of tcksburg and Jackson e.icited the wildest enthusiasm of his audience, and made the heart of every patriot feel the old fire which sent him to the rront. Th Democratic leaders dared not let the rank and file attend the speech o! Gen. Hussoy. To prevent - it - their - jrtl the faithful together to hear Kng'.ish uod German speakers. Tbev were not sncee.'3'ul, however, iu keeping all democrats awav. Many of them heard General Bussey and were con vinced.

Jimrnsi. Danville. Sept. 24. A. D. Loy. of Bridge port. Ind., called this morning to inform your correspondent that the anoounsement in a late number of tbe Sentinel that be and bis father, Cornelius Loy, had "come out for Cleveland,' is a useless and baseless falsehood. No founda tion ever existed for such a rumor, and the Sentinel's correspondent lied knowingly when he reported it. Ir. Ioy now thinks it w:ll bo in order for the Sentinel to fnlfi.Il its promise and dispense with the services of a score or so of its correspondents, as almost every "convert thus far reported iu its columns has either turned out to be a Bourbon Democrat or an unchangeable Republican. He declorrs that whea be or his father vots the Democratio ticket it will be when Democrats become virtuous and memorv is blotted out. Llr. Loy senda tbe following to the Journal: In a recent issue of the Indianspolis Sentinel appears a communication in which comfort is offered to the onwasbed in a statement that I and my son, Amos D. Lov. have repudiated the Republican party and tbat are for Cleveland and Thurmsn. I cast my first voe for W illiam H. Harrison in 1 3G, and my son first voted for onr martyred President. Abraham Lircoin. I have never cast a Democratic ballot, atd year by year, as I have grown ohler, I have grown firmer in Republican faith, and Lave never seen occar.on to leave the party that has always, sinciitsCrstorcanizattcn, stnod for justice and eqnality to all alike. Both I and my son above ramed are far from being Democrats in 1833 We have personally known Genetsl Harrison fcr manr year?, and have al ways admired bis splendid qualities of head and heart We are in favor of protection to Ameri can industries against competition of the cheap labor of Europe, and we are and shall remain loyal lo the party that upholds this doctrine. All statements to the contrary are made out of whole cloth, and have their origin in a fertile imagination. Yours, for Harrison and Morton. Cornelius Lov. Wamsjto: Sept. 21. Township. IfeT.dr-c'i county, ' John B. Elnm at Greenwood. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Greenwood, Sept. 24. The Lincoln League of this place were especially favored this evening in being permitted to listen to an address by John B. Elam, who vras invited at the eleventh hour, and who kindly consented to come and fill the appointment of a speakor who was unable to be present Notwithstanding this fact he was greeted by an audience as large as the hall wodld accommodate, many people beiog unable to gain admittance. The speakers treatment of the tariff question was a happy mixture of simplicity and force. His reasoning with the Prohibitionists wa also irresistible, and ought to have a good effect. In fact, the entire argument was unanswerable. The league has procured a tent which will hold about 3,000 people A few more speeches of this kind will thorouehly arouse lukewarm Republicans, and may possibly open tbe eyes of some who aro not Republicans to the error of their ways. Many Democrats in this vicinitv bave already declared their-intention of getting io the band wagon. Desertions from the Third Tarty, g peri al to the lndlanaootis Juurnaa.

Corresrondence of fbe Indiananolis Journal. Lexington, Sept 22. Gen. Cyrus Bussey, of New York city, made a splendid speech to a large audience here last night General Bussey was a merchant iu this county in 1S50 to 1853, and if it had been generally understood tbat the speaker announced was the same there would have been hundreds of Democrats to hear him. His speech was the best argument on tho

tariff and issues of the war ever heard in this county. He answered the objections made against the Republican poiiey by Democratio orators and papers to the satisfaction of all who beard him. One of the. leading Democratio farmers of the county said to General Bussey after he finished his speech, "That is tbe first Republican speech I ever listened to; you have convinced me that the present tariff is right and if any change is needed the duty should be raised rather than tbat any of it should be taken off. I have confidence in yon, and believe what you have told us." Big Meettug at Yevay. I rectal to the Indianapolis Journal Vevay, Sept 24. The Republican meeting at Vevay to-day was the largest ever held In Switzerland county. Twelve Republican clubs were represented, and the procession was over half a mile long. Three brass bands and several martial bands furnished music Tbe meeting wa3 held in the court-bouse square aud was presided over by Col. A. D. Ward. Gen. W. O. Bradley, of Kentucky, was greeted by an audience of about 0,000, and delivered an eloqusnt, able and convincing speech. The immense audience frequently expressed their appreciation by cheers. . He waa followed by Hon. Cicero Buchanan, of Evansville, in a short but very eloquent speech. There was an immense meeting in the court-house to-uight the large room being jammed with people. Hon. Cicero Buchanan, of Evansville. addressed the meeting and very ably and eloquently discussed tbe political issues. The Vevay Glee Club, seventy strong, eung stirring campaign songs. Harrison, Morton and Hovey are all right in this part ot the State. Charles l Griffin at Slontlcello. ffdal to the Indianapolis Journat. Monticello, Sept 24. Hon. Charles F. Griffin delivered one of the best speeches here Saturday afternoon that our people ha? e listened to. The court-house was filled long before the speaking began, and many were turnod away for want of room. Mr. Griffin was in bis happiest mood, and his arraignment of the Democratio administration, both State and national, was unanswerable, and many of his points were admitted true by Democrats, while his eulogy of Harrison and Hovey entirely captured his audience and brought him round after round of applaust. He addressed the Harrison atd Morron Club in the evening, and already the fruit of bis effort can be seen. One life-long Democrat has announced his intention of supporting the party of protection.

The report in the Sentinel of tbe conversion of Editor Naugle, of the Cloverdale Herald, from Republicanism to Democracy, is here regarded as a good joke by all who know the paper or its editor. While professing Independence, it haa never been anything elo than a democratic sheet, and being owned ly the court-rouse ring, its boasted "flop" was dcid on by them, and will deceive nobody.

To the K.Htor .f the Indianaoolls Journal: The most efficient way that I know of to expose incompetence in public affairs ia through the press, aud therefore I make the following statement: About ten days ago I addressed a letter inclosing another important letter to 03 Park avenue, iu this city. I mailed the letter in the postolT.ee at Lafayette, where I then was. That letter has never reached its destination to this day. A week ago I called at the Lafayette office to inquire why it was th letter had not been delivered, and I was told they would write the office at Indianapolis and inquire why it was. I called at the Lafayette postoSice again to-day and wai informed that tbey bad not yet beard from In dianapolis. I mailed two other, letters at the Lafayette postofDce since that time to the same address, neither of which has ever reached its destination.
