Wo hid rcjrirded Senator McDon II 1 1 aid an rather a rcsiu-ctawe sort o Democrat. Iiis endorsement, how over, of the infamous Mack laws o Indiana marks him a a demagogue o the worst sort. Senator McDonald's senatorial term approaches its close and ho is ambitious to be his own sue censor. Xo man is fit to represent tho srottt Statu of Indiana in tho Senofthe United States who is so narrow minded, so unrepublican, so opposed to the broad principles of justice upon Avhfch our Government is founded, arid the noble instincts of human it' tS t endorse those infamous laws. We have received rather a earcastie note from Samuel . Perry, the somcvhdt bos of de cmcgnudiun." Samuel i mad; Yes, furiously raad so mad that he threatens to give the thing away unless ho is severely let alone. Xow, Samuel, cut loose jut litterally lay bare 3our "inards" and let the whole world see upon what sort of fo lder'Ou regaled yourself while in Hoosierdom the srnrden spot of the world. By all means Sammie, give the thing away: The cause of Samuel's Avrath was an item in the .Leader indicating a suspicion of erookedius on the jart of the aforesaid Samuel. The Saturday Press. A somewhat phjuant article under the above heading, embracing a .ra ther cursory and sarcastic review of most of our Saturday papers and their editors, appeared in last Sunday's Journal, presumably from the pen of the distinguished gentleman andjournalist who, until quite recently, prosided over tho editorial columns of the Saturday Herald so ably, and who is now the editor of the Sunday Jour nal. We say, "most of our Saturday papers," for the reason that while the article referred to notices papers which have been dead for years and others which never had any circulation while in existence, it fails even so much as to mention the name of Tho Leader, "a paper which not only has large circulation in this city and State, but which has an extensive circle of readers in Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois, together with subscribers all over the country. With all due respect for the able management of the Sunday Journal, we desire to say to that paper, that a review of tho "Saturday Press" without mentioning Tho Leader, is very like unto the presentation of the celebrated drama of Pichelieu, with the character of tho able and versatile cardinal omitted from the cast. Upon mature considelation, and a closer perusal of tho columns ot our paper the Journal will readily discover the truth of tho foregoing remark. The Exodus. We have received the following letter from the Hon. J. II. Rainey, and we take tho liberty of answering it in this public manner because it will suffice for a reply to quite a number of similar letters of which we are in daily receipt. Boston, Mass., Feb. 17, 18S0. Mr. J. D. Bagby, Indianapolis, Ind. Dear Sir: I see by daily prints that the condition of the immigrants that have ictttiicu juui maic iiuui xiuiiii v.uruiiua la anything but encouraging. " They are represented as being extremely bad off in every particular. Our mends here in the I-ast feel very much interested in the en tire movement.' Tliey have been contributing largely to the relief of those immi grants, and are naturally anxious about their welfare. I was alwaya led to believe that Indiana was a good State to migrate to. ;The information concerning the deplorable condition of those neonle was fnrnished the Voorhees committee on exo dus, appointed by the United States Senate. Please write as 'clearly and as full as possible on this subject and others, and oblige, Yours truly, . . Jos. II. Rainey, Tho statement that the immigrants who have como to Indiana are without employment' und äre' stiirering a rlies made out of whole cloth. These stories aro made up and cireu-; latcd by Democratic newspapers and politicians for the purpose of cheeking tho exodus. There is a constant and increasing demand for laborers throughout the State. Thoso who have come havo all received employment and aro doing well: The relief committes of Indianapolis and other cities have on file numer-

ous applications for laborers from different parts of the State which they have been utterlv unable to fill. An important fact to be noticed in this connection is that jvvhen immigrants havo arrived tho committees have not found it necesjjary to send out agents to find them homes. The simple announcement in tho papers of tlto arrival of a eompanj of immigrants brought the farmers from tho adjacent country to the city and numerous applications for laborers from jdistant points, so that all have found employment within a very fewljays after their ar-

rival. In many , cases Democrats, themselves, have employed immi grants, m .. .. . .i paying nq attention to uie ravings of the pothouse politicians of their party. It is simply a matter of business with the farmers and business men of Indiana: They need laborers, these men suit and jhey employ them. The sick have been cared for and the immigrants are lemd in their praise of the hospitality of wio people of Indi"f ilial . ana. Again we say mat tue stories ab Mit the nu florin en of immigrants to this State, are falsehoods of the most barefaced character and for the truth fulness of our statement we appeal to the respectable, truthful people of Indiana, who know die facts. A WHALE STORY. Work for the "Exodlous" Commit tee. lleeeut advices from a trustworthy source confirm tho previous report of the appearance of a number of arctic whales oft" the coast of Florida. It is said they all came in a body, and are acting in a manner quite mysterious to the sharks and alligators, the older residents in that vicinity; and he general opinion among these dwellers in that portion of tho "briny deep," is that these Northern strangers are but tho advance guard of a vast horde of arctic "sea bosses," whoso intention it is to locate in that vicinity, and compete with them in ho swallowing of dead sailors who are thrown overboard. There is, con sequently, intense indignation among tho sharks, who will be most sensibly affected by tho settlement of pauper whales in that vicinity, and there are fears that rash counsel among their younger and more hotheaded leadera may result in bloodshed should tho whales persist in locating there. There is no doubt whatever that it will cause a complete revolution in the political sentiment of the sharks, which has heretofore been tending toward liberalism and broad views of marine freedom and equality. It is now almost certain that the conservativo party will sweep all sharkdom with an overwhelming majority at the. next election. Tho latest phase of tho compli cation is that the sharks, alligators and Democrats of Florida have entered into a triple alliance, offensive and defensive, by which they agree to pool their grievances and act as a unit for the relief of all the signatory parties to the protocol. By the terms of tho treaty, all parties bind them selves to unalterable opposition to the settlement of arctic whales in the portion of the Atlantic adjacent to Florida. All agree to resist it by force of arms, if necessary. It is stipulated that the sharks sha ll confine their forays for subsistence to deep water, and shall swallow none but dead marines, or shipwrecked people whom they may pick up at sea. They bind themselves not to enter inland waters; and solemnly agree to maintain by force of arms the rights and privileges of the other consignatory parties, to bo hereinafter stated. Tho alligators, in pursuance Of tho terms of the treaty, agree to turn over all dead floaters to the sharks, mid depend for a living upon the "small fry" of the coast and inland waters, together with the "moonshinvj ers, whom tuo revenuo oniccrs drive into the swamps; t the bull-dozed Southern Republicans, whom the peaceful Democrats, drive from their homes, and other unfortunate people upon whom they may steal unawares, in the overgladea and bayous of that marshy peninsula. They also agree to spill every drop of blood in their veins in defense of the rights of the cosignatory powers. They further stipulate that in 'times when tho democracy of the peninsula are hard pushed for a majority, and can not steal their way through, that they

will go to the polls and vote the straight Democratic ticket; or, in lieu of this, thev aijree to "do the business" for enough Republicans to keep the Democrats in a majority, if the latter will only drive them into tho

swamps, where thy can get at them. The Florida Democrats in fulfillment of their part of the treaty agree to act as referee between the Sharks and Alligators, to decide all points of difference that may arie between them. They also agreed to appoint an exodus committee to wait on Senator Voorhees, to secure his tremendous influence in favor of having the Gov eminent station a fleet of war vessels off the coast of Florida, to drive back and destroy tho advancing avalanche of Arctic vandals, who, if left alone, will reduce the sharks to starvation, and eventually swallow them. They further agree to afford the alligators every opportunity to "get in their work" in tho everglades and bayous; to shoot as many Republicans as they can, and lot their bodies float out to sea for the benefit of . tho sharks. A law is also to be passed by tho Florida Legislature allowing the alligators to vote, provided they vote the Demo cratic ticket. 8trairht. In defense of all the foregoing stipulations they agree to "die in the last ditch," if nocessary. The treaty ,is to bo in full force from and after its ratification by each of the contracting powers. Notes. The Thursby concerts are given every day in tbe week. Railway trains are "mashers" that have no regard for sex. The republicans will probably run a Streight ticket for governor. A girl's boarding school id the most attractive gallery to college boys. Captain Kidd's treasure is no doubt concealed in a Kitld-avarice location. Thomases of both the feline and political stripe are often found upon the fence. Mattie Morris and Monte Ray are two attractive and interesting young cities in Mexico. The reason Mme Bernhardt ia so popular with the beaux, is because she enjoys a Sarah-nade. The scarcity of "coppers" is no doubt due to the fact that the "cops' are in the habit of running them in. "We would like to know why Tom Keogh don't change his name to something that would be difficult to pronounce. Diaz (pronounced De-ath) is the name of the Merican president. Revolution ought not to thrive in his domain. The Dead wood Pioneer seems to have the dead wood on all the Rocky mountain news papers for editorial gingeriness. If Shurz don't Oaray and settle this vexed Indian question, he's going to hear something drop soon, and tnat heavy, too. An old colored woman died recently in Kansas who was not a servant in the family of the late Gen. George Washington of Virginia. We wonder if the readers of Cincinnati papers will be visited by any such nightmares as the Kirby Police Bill in the Sweet bye and bye? It is now said, that in extenuation of his peculations, that ex-Indian commissioner llayt studied political administration from a Hayt(i) standpoint. The Emperor of Russia would learn Fomething to his advantage if he would send his Nihilists to this country, to try a little pistol practice with our Black Ililljsts. The opponents of the third term we presume, will eventually favor the elimination of the third term from the educational year, through fear of a pedagogical Caesarism. . The Saturday Press bore down very heavily upon the intellectual mountain of the Sunday Journal, and the result was that the i. ra. gave birth to a dimunitive yet exceedingly precocious mouse. It is reported on good authorfty from Washington that several grave and reverend senators who have wives and interesting families at home, are badly mashed on Bright Eyes, the Ponca Indian maiden. What is the matter with the Louisiana liars? A whole week has passed and riot a single "infamous falsehood'' has been completely and satisfactorily "refuted ." We are afraid the boys are getting out of practice. An ex-convict calls the Kentucky penitentiary "the very hole of hell." Had the distinguished gentleman included the en tire State of Kentucky, except Louisville, we would have been willing to spell "hole' with a"w". , ''Go West," was the injunction of Horace Qreelev, who was Senator Voorhees candidate for president eight years ago.

Purgatory, or the adjoining hot room, is said to be liberally supplied with festive gentlemen, who in1 this world followed the merry occupation of violinist. Whether this be true or not we will wager a nickel that the number cf candidates for fat offices in this State are double the number of fiddlers there are in the satanic dominions. 1 It.waa the Sweet Singer of Michigan who intended to eay: "At Iot' Jlnt tonet I trembled,'! But the printer ßet it up, . . At loTe'i flrtt tonet I tumbled," Which probably had more truth than the original , line, if less gweetnew. Albany

QEOBGE P. BRANHAM.

His Record as a Soldier and Business Man. George- F. Branham is the only living son of the late Hon. D. C Branham, and i was born in Jefferson county, Feb. 26th, 1844. At the age of fifteen he was an appreutice in railroad shops at North Madison learning the trade of a machinist. The day on which was fought the first battle of Bull Run, Branham stopped his lathe and, with six other apprentice, enlisted as privates in company E, 3d Indiana cavalry, then being organized by A. W. Hendricks, now of the firm of Hendricks, Hord & Hendricks. He served with his company until he was t.iken prisoner, Juue 2oth, löu3, having been engaged in the battles of South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancelloravilie, Beverly Ford and Aldie, the last named being the place where he wascsptured. From there he was taken to Richmond via Winchester and Staunton, and from there to Bell Island, where he arrived July 1st. 'G3; but only remained until July 7th. On that ciay a numb, r of prisoners were exchacged, but Branham s name was not among the lucky ones. The nbel guard was calling over the names of those persons who were to be exchanged, and one name was called to which no one answered. It was called the second and third times, and then Branham responded, and was roughly ordered to hurry up or he would be pent back to pris m and kept six months longer for being t?o t-low. He considered himself lucky to get out on any term?, as some of the boys captured at the same lime were kept prisoners for nine months. As a great many of our boys in prison at that time died or were shot while trying to escape by swimming the James River, it ispr8uined that tbe poor feile w who did not answer to .his name had been one of those unfortunate ones. The exchanged prisoners wei e taken from Bell Island to Annapolis, Md., where Branham took leave for home; and when he returned to his company in Virginia, it was with a lieutenant's commission in his pocket. At the close of this campaign (lSb3), he was mustered out as a private, returned home, and immediately went to work recruiting, and by December of that same year was in camp, 1st lieutenant oi company 11, 10th Indiana cavalrvi His reaiment was ordered to Nashville, Tenn. In May, 1864, he was in the battle of Frank lin, and also that of Nashville, December 14th of the same year. At the last mentioned battle and also during that campaign Branham was icspector general of the 1st brigade, 1st division, 7th cavalry of the Army of the Migsissfppi. He was promoted to captain of company h., De cember 14. At the battle of Shoal Creek, General Hammond, brigade commander, compli mented him to General Wilson, corps commander, and reaueted he be mentioned in General orders for bravery. At the close of this campaign, Capt Branham returned to his regiment and took command of his commany. His regiment was ordered to New Orleans and from there to Mobile, and was engaged in the battles of Mobile, Spanfsh Fort, and Fort Blakely, and was also among the forces that started on the raid for Andersonville to release the prisoners confined there. But before they had proceeded very far on this praise worthy errand, were met by the news that peace had been declared east of the Chat tahoochee river, and the command at once returned to Yicksburj, Miss. Captain Branham was mustered out of the service Sept. 18, 1805. For about five years after the close of the war he was engaged in the building of railroads under the supenntendance of his father. Tor the past eight yeara he has been actively engaged in business in this city. He is a member of the well known firm of Cobb and Branham. He has been a resident of Indianapolis for the past 12 years, and as to being a friend to the colored people, it is only necessary to look at his record. He has had in his employ more colored men than any coal dealer in the city, and pays them 1.50 per day. This 2o or 50 per cent more a day than is paid by other employers in the same business. Trtjth.
