THE INDIANAPOLIS DAILY NEWS: FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17.1877.1

THE DAILY NEWS. — nm. air. f^XyTauqust' aisrrT^ joux ir HOLLIDAY, Pmopmnrro«. Tb« Daillj Newt hu th« l&rgMt oircml*iloa of any papar In Iniiana, and ia raad in naarly atery (own and tiilaca tribatary to Indianapolis. Thx siege of Nicaics hie been raised, and that metropolis can now be reyictnalled without impediment. The Journal mentions Edward Everett Hale’s “Adventures of a parlor car.” Does it mean Sir Edward, who wrote Flynn of Yirginia’s “Howells?” The Sentinel ought to have applied the money it spent for an endorsement on its just debts to workingmen, who, after waiting months, have got fifteen per cent of their dues. It would have paid betteff. The stockholders of the Sentinel are men of property who are engaged in various businesses. There is not one of them but has the repatation of looking out for himself very closely. If they regard th^ir own interests they will be careful how they let their organ preach communistic doctrines. It will neither pay them nor their party. People will hold them responsible for all the attacks upon society.

The radical sheets of the republican party are getting so far along that they can eay concerning Babcock, as the Journal of this city does: “If the half “that is charged against Gen. Babcock “be true he is not only unfit for the “army but should be in the state’s “prison.” That is all very well, but at the time General Babcock was doing things that made him amenable to these charges, every paper which spoke as the Journal speaks now and called for his investigation and castigation was hounded by a yelping pack, of which the Journal was one; called traitor, sore head,democrat, villifier and the like. What a change has come over the spirit of some dreams since President Hayes has lifted the country clear of the poisonous malaria of Grantism.

The longest parliament in English history was the first one after the anion with Ireland, which lasted from September 27, 1796, till June 29, 1802.—[Journal. There is another parliament, known in “English history” as the “Long par“liament,” that lasted from the fall of 1640 to the spring ot 1653, when Cromwell went in and kicked the “Rump” out, which, with countless follies and excesses, did an incalculable service to the cause of popular rights and popular government. It carried through the revolution, without which England would have remained under a despotism as ruinous as t^at of Louis XIV in France, and no small share of that service crossed the Atlantic and finally helped in the construction of our government. The “Long parliament” is the “longest in English history,” though for some years towards the close of its thirteen years’ term, it was little respected and its authority was constantly disputed or disrerf4-ded.

The Indianpolis Journal and News are jLOt inclined to brood over their wrongs at the bands of the "o-called “workingmen” of the capital, fcoth appear as fresh as daisies.—[Lafayette Conner. Why should they? They have no reason to care for the sham workingmen’s meeting gotten up by the Sentinel managers. That was a fraud, which is repudiated by workingmen. The leaders of the workingmen were snubbed and suppressed. The meeting was an attempt to get vote# for the democrats and an endorsement for the Sentinel, which is being repudiated by the party all over the state for its communistic doctrines. The money spent on Monday night was money thrown away. Workingmen are not such fools as to be taken in by the concern which tried to swindle its workmen out of $3,500, and whose stockholders, when beaten in a suit, appealed to a higher court to keep suffering men out of their dues. A concern that has persistently cut down the wages of its employes, and which would have had a strike in its own office the week before the railroad trouble began if it had not backed down, does not cut a fine figure as a champion of workingmen. It alludes to these things as “financial em“barrasements,” and whines when they are mentioned, but all its squealing does not make workingmen forget its practices. The republican candidate for governor in Ohio, Judge West, opened the campaign with a speech at his home, Bellefontaine, last night. The greater part of it is made up of the labor question, which the judge made such an unlucky grasp of at the time of his nomination. He has much to say in the way of advice, very little in the way of assursurance. He believes in the gradation system of wages,.a minimum rate to be fixed by the capitalist and net profits to be divided in proportion. This is to be brought about by agreement, not by legislation, the only thing in the latter way he advocates being the national labor bureau recommended by the Cleveland platform, which ehall give labor the same access to the government as agriculture and commerce have. The dissemination of sta-

tistics, the inquiry into causes of depression, the trustworthy proof of certain conditions at times as arising from unchangable laws and not from the greed of capitaliata, and the better adjustment of competition, will convince the laborer that bis low rate is necessary, and he will submit as it will also show him when he is entitled to a higher rate. There is a peaceful way to peace in the labor question; it is not necessarily the result of armed force, as it has hitherto been. There is nothing objectionable in all these utterances of Judge West, and by the same token they are only “words, words, words.” The relief he proposes is to come from peisuasion and not from legislation,and hence is not the property of any political party but the duty of wise men of every party.

The New York World makes public a fac simile of a legislative amendment written by Thomas Jefferson in the winter of 1800 when, anticipating the trouble that must come Irom a closely disputed presidential election in the following year, in which be was sure to be a candidate, his party in congress songht to avert it by considering the very spot in the constitution which came so near tripping us np last fall and offering a bill, doubtless well studied in the formation of the recent electoral commission, providing for the appointment of a committee of six members from each house, who were to sit with closed doors to decide questions. Mr. Jefferson’s mouthpiece in congress, Senator William Cary Nicholas, opposed the bill and it finally failed by the senate non-concurring in the house amendment. It is thought this document was written by Mr. Jefferson as an amendment to or substitute for the bill anticipating a renewal of the discussion the following year. But as it did not come up, this exposition by Jefferson of the defects in the constitution and the remedies therefor never saw the light until two months ago, when Sarah Nicholas Randolph, of Virginia, a daughter of the late Thomas Jefferson Randolph, Jefferson’s oldest grandson, and also grand daughter of the Senator Nicholas who was Jefferson’s intimate,discovered it among Senator Nicholas’s private papers. It is without signature, but the handwriting is unquestionably the same as that of the Declaration of Inde-

pendence, white it as clearly bears the impress of Jefferson’s mind. Six months ago it would have been of momentous interest. Now it will be carefully read and pondered as Jefferson’s solution of the presidential difficulty through which we have recently

passed:

Whereas, On an election of president and vice-president of the Loited s-tater quostio mar arise whether an elector hai bu

estioas

ap-

pointed in such manner as the legislature of

his state may have directed.

Whether the time at which he was chosen, and the day on which he gave his vote, were

those determined by congress.

Whether he was not at the time a senator or representative of the United States, or held an < fBce of trust or profit under the United

Stales.

M kether one at least of the persons he has voted lor is an inhabitant of a state other than

JpS own.

w Whether the electors voted by ballot, and have sittnod, certified, and transmitted to the president of tbe senate a list of all the persons voted for, and ol the number of rotes for

each.

Whether the persons voted for are natural born cilizenssor were citizens of tbe United States at the time of the adoption of the constitution, were ^5 years old, and had been 11 years resident within the United States. And as the constitution of the United States having directed that “the president of the senate shall in the presence of the senate and house ol representatives, open all the certificates, and that the rotes shall then he counted,” from which is most reasonably inferred that they are to be oounteu by the members composing the said houses and brought there for that office, no other being assigned them, and inferred the more reasonably, as thereby the constitutional weight ol each state i u the election of those high officers is exactly presrved in tbe tribunal which is to judge of its alidity, the number of senators and repre-

rahdity, the number of senators and representatires from each state composing the said tribunal being exactly that of the electors of

the same state.

Be it therefore enacted, etc. ffiere insert the former clause.] Provided that the certificate of the executive

add all other limitations on the proceeding quei-tir ns which may be thought proper; stating that the two houses shall not decide.I And be it further enacted that whenever the vote of one or more of the electors of any state shall, for any cause whatever, be adjudged invalid, it shall be lawful for too senators and rspreseutatires of the said state, either in tbe presence of the two houses or separately and withdrawn from them, to decide by their own votes to which of the persons voted for by any of the electors of their state (or to what person) the invalid vote or votes shall be given; for which purpose they shall, be allowed the term of (one hourt and no longer, during which no other certificate shall be opened or proceeded on.

T1IXY MAKM TBE TRUTH A LIE. Striking miners at Wilkesbarre have driven off the workmen in the Delaware and Hudson mines, though the latter are anxious to work at the prices paid, and have forced them to swear that they will not work till the difficulties are settled. The working men were content with their pay, they were supporting their families, living comfortably and independent of charity. But the strikers would not have it. They must force every other man’s rights to conform to theirs and contribute to their aims. They had rights in profusion, but those who chose to work at prices that were satisfactory to them had none. They say in effect, ‘ When we choose “to do nothing you have no right to “work. We have a right to fix your “wages for you, and make you quit if “you can’t get them. You have no right “in the matter, either to fix wages or “continue work.” Actions speak louder than word»,and this is exactly what the action of the Wilkesbarre strikers says. It is what every demonstration of violence by strikers against workingmen says. Nothing more grossly selfish, insolent and unmanly can be conceived. No right is respected or admitted, no duty of citizenship or fellowship regard-

ed, no sense of justice or fair dealing pretended. Sheer brute force and brutish unreason are declared about as plainly as such qualities can be, “I won’t work and you shan’t,” is the strikers faith and practice in a word. He clamors with such well paid idlers as Trave* lick, who do as little work as a lady’s pet pup, for the “rights of labor,” he holds “labor meetings,” he denounces capitalists who “deprive the laborer of “work,” he raves about the “oppressions “of the rich” and the “sufferings of the “poor,” and goes right off to drive away some laboring man Irom work that suits him and pays him, and forces his famij^ to starve or live on

charity.

The striker who interferes by force with the work or wages of another man, gives the lie to all his professions of devotion to the interests of labor. He makes painful and shameful nonsense of his talk about the “rights of labor.” He shows that he, far more than any other man alive, more than any Apitalist, more than the most oppressive of the rich, contemns the rights of labor. No other man so boldly defies them, and no other ever so conspicuously crushes them. Labor has no rights with him, unless it is labor at the wages and in the way he chooses. He is the thing to be looked to, not the rights of labor nor any other rights. He makes a lie of the truth. Labor has rights as distinct, numerous and sacred as any that God allows human nature to possess. We believe it has more, for in its broad sense labor is the whole of life that is worth living. It is the aim of life, and if man was put upon earth with any object at all beyond breathing for a certain number of years, it was to work. The rights of labor, therefore, are co-extensive with the rights of life. They are one of the fundamental truths of society, government and business. But the striker says as loud as actions can speak, “They are all a lie; there are no rights . “of labor that I have not a right to “cripple or destroy if I choose; “no one has a right to work nnless I “eay so, and if he does I’ll kill him or “kick him off.” The men guilty of this senseless self-conviction, and these monstrous acts of oppression of labor, are nine times in ten foreigners, Eng. lieh and Irish miners, and have as little perception of consistency or justice, and as little knowledge of civic rights and duttes as a tribe of Papuans. They are the murderous “Molly Maguires,” and the country would be infinitely better off without them, would be better off to pay their way back home and never see one of the breed again.

STAVE ITEMS. The Clay county miners yesterday resolved to strike for a twenty per cent, advance. , It :s estimated that there will ba a surplus ol 300,000 bushels ol wheat in Pike county, where it only commands $1 per bushel.

the EASTER* WAR. Tbe Sleffe of R natch ok and Xiesftea Halted. The seige of Rastchuk is virtually raised. The Russians officially acknowledge the loa of 14 459 men killed and wounded to August 9. The Russians have evacuated Elena and Beberova and nearly all the country up to Timova. Suleiman Pasha's advance guard is dose to Gabrova. He has received heavy reinforcements from Constantinople. The Prince of Montenegro hes been obliged to raise the seige of Nicsics to march against Turkish troops, who are endeavoring to enter Montenegro. A Turkish imperial decree calls to arms all hitherto exempted. Those who have already served, but who have not yet attained their fortieth year, will be divided into national guards, who may ultimately be sent to tbe seat of war, and national guards for protection and internal security.

Repairing; Wooden Pavements. [Lafayette Journal.] Indianapolis is “in the same boat” with Lafayette, in that she hes a lot of rotting Nicolson pavement, put down when the furore for wooden pavements was at its bight. Ws notice that the city council there have under consideration several different propositions for repairing the Nicolaon, among others, one from the Columbus (Ohio) paving company, proposing to cover the pavement with three inches of concrete, and keep the pavement in repair for four years. This certainly would be much better than covering the pavement with mud or gravel, as we do it at Lafayette. We are not however, in favor of any coating improvement, bat of substantially re-laying the Nioolson. A large proportion of the blocks are perfectly good. The bottom boards and gravel foundation are perfectly gocx| The expense of relaying the pavement, so as to be jnat es-good as new, would ba comparatively light. “A stitch in time eaves nine.” In a year or two more the pavement will be entirely rained, whereas by wise and thorough repair now, it will be preserved for many years to come.

Cottiniuniam. (Cincinnati Enquirer.] In every city of the first class there may be found a limited number of longhaired philosophers, too indolent to work if they "knew how, whose sole idea on political affairs ia that governments are established for the purpose of ladling soup into their months and into the mouths of their friends, at somebody else’s expense. This is communism. Bat tbs farmers, wbo constitute a large majority of the people of this country, do not want commonism; the merchants and manufacturers, who constitute • large portion of tbe remainder, do not want communism; tbe skilled artisan, wbo expects some day to place himself and bis family above want by bis labor and his economy, does not want communism; and the laborer, who, while swinging his pick on the highway, anticipates the coming of a time when he will ba an employer, does not want communism.

Pralae for Everybody. [H. V. Redfield.l Praise is lavished so indiscriminately upon public men in Virginia that it loses its effect Where every other man is colonel, and every other colonel has a gallant soul and spotless fame and lofty integrity and g ; gantlc intellect, the fountains of praise are so often drawn upon that a line or two of adjectives amount to little. A member of the legislature who does not see h'mself in the papers as a man of gigantic intellect and lofty soul and snow-white integrity and lamb like innocence, and a grand and mighty son of tbe glorious old commonwealth, don’t think himself praised very much. Anything short of this won’t fill the bill, and even this is getting to be a trifls threadbare and meaningless, as it is applied to about twenty thousand “sous of Virginia” annually.

Kane and bis brother, farmers, living seven miles from North Vernon, got into a row about some straw, and tbe latter threw a four-tined pitchfork at his brother, striking him in the arm, which will have to be amputated. John Sutton, of Jeffersonville, aged 10, while playfully handling a revolver, dis charged it, shooting his playmate, John Weaver, aged 9. The ball struck his left cheek bone, penetrating under tbe eye. He will probably not recover.

Jay f.oulcl. Jay Gou’d is a native of R-xbury. Delaware county, New York, where his father and mother still lire on a small hill farm. In 1855 Gould, then about tweuty-one years old, was still a clerk in Burnham's store in Roxbury. In 1856 he rolled a wheelbarrow over Delaware county as a surveyor, making a map, copied from Burr’s old map, with corrections as to the boundaries and the names of owners of property. During that time he took subscriptions ar.d sold a large number of his maps at five dollars each; but when they were delivered they were so wretchedlygot np that Gould was literally cursed out of Delaware county. He then went to Pennsylvania, where he took charge of a tannery for Gen. Zadock Pratt He remained in that sitnation for three years.

The deacon got tbe butt end of a club on the sconce, he responded with a “razzor,” when his antagonist produced a knife and backed the good deacon into an apologetic frame of mind. Last Satnrday night a party of vigilante visited the house of an old man named Joe Allman, of Newport, and charged him with setting fire to the house of Aaron N Patterson, which was burned a few weeks ago They bound and gagged his wife and took the old man out into tbe woods, placed a rope around his neck and swung him up till he was nearly dead to extort a confession.

Can They Be Duped. LSnn—greenback organ.] Can this barefaced daplicity and most unblushing dishonesty of the Sentinel go undetected by the workingmen?
