THE DAILY NEWS. MONDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1878. The Indianapolis News has the largest circulation of any daily paper in Indiana. It may be a deluge, and it nn>y not. The idea of scratching is very ofTensive to on organ. The hope of the republic lies in vigorous and intelligent scratching. Don’t forget that the American voter has an inalienable right to scratch. People have a chance to-morrow to rebuke “fiat.” They should not neglect it. ♦ Don’t let a closely printed ticket deter you from exercising thegreat and glorious privilege of scratching, if you have a mind to. • The superior court has stood higher in public confidence and respect because it was divided politically. It ought to be kept so. Edward O’Mara Condon and Theodore Thomas both ^ascended upon Cincinnati yesterday. Porkopolis has a plethora of great men. ' j The “silent vote” will probably cut a figure in this election. The carefulest calculations are not therefore as comforting ns they might be. The good men ot Massachusetts will not deserve well at the hands of those who sympathise with them, if they do not vote to defeat that sum of all villainies—Butlerism. - This is the last day that the free American citizen will be button-held by the perspiring patriot, and implored for ’s sake to save his country hr voting for nd . Scratching in this election will be done mostly by pasting slips over the name to be blotted out. The candidate who has not provided thousands of gummed slips with his name on them, is yet to be heard of. Gov. \ ance of North Carolina expects to seethe greenback-labor movement sweep through tho. whole south, break up a “solid south” and rearrange parties without regard to race on some of the financial issues. The usual charges and counter-charges of frauds and importations are being made, There probably is a good deal of bug-a-boo in them. At any rate tbe swindling on one side is likely to be counterbalanced by the swindling on the other. Still there are guileless innocents who believe the cheating is always done by the opposition. 1

THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS: MONDAY. OCTOBER 7. 1878.

The party organs have dropped the ? criminal judgeship. As the result of their efforts a good many people will scratch both their candidates,'and vote for Whitehead, whose character has not been as sailed and of whom everybody speaks well. There may dot be enough to elect him, but there is likely to be enough to convince parties in future of the necessity of nominating men who are less open todamaging attacks. The Madison Courier should feel happy now. According to the republican statement the democrats have been trying to import voters, as tbe Courier said they intended, and the republicans have detected them as The News advised them in the premises. But the Courier should be careful to make a note of one fact in its “I told you so,” namely, that the board of state house commissioners has not been a party to these alleged importatioqs and did quietly postpone the letting of the state house contract until election time so that not even the smallest chance was given to profit by such action. The only particular danger of interference with business lies in congress and the legislature, and men should remember this in voting for candidates. In these-it is a question of principle, not of men. Good order and good morals ought to defeat such a man as VoorheeB, and men who are pledged to elect him senator ought to be defeated although they are worthy in every other respect. But when it comes to the other offices it is a question of men not principles, and the voter should cast his ballot for the candidate he thinks is the best. The country will not be be lost, despite the assertions of the organs and the people who live by politics and profit by keeping up partisan prejudices. There are three tickets, and scratching can bo done on every one of them without any damage to the people or the interests of the country. The'Boston Herald thinks it would be a frightful mistake if General Butler, after asking his audience the customary questions—Why are the stalwart mechanics idle? Why are the looms stopped? and so on—should happen to stumble on his 1857 answer instead of his 1878 one. His 1857 answer was that the constitutional currency of gold .and silver had been driven out by a money of rags. His 1878 answer is that rags make better money than gold and silver. The sympathy of all honest people everywhere is extended to Massachusetts in the efforts of the republican party in that state to elect Talbott. It were wiser had they taken action that would have called the Faneuil Hall democrats to action with theraj and as Butler has pooled the issues of rascality, dishonesty and communism, show the world a union of honesty, honest measures and honest men, irrespective of past party names and affiliations. To this complexion it must come at last, and Massachusetts should have led the van of example; that generally followed will crush this heretical nationalism which already stretches unholy hands toward the presidency in 1880. Those who think alike should act together. CUKKKNT COMMKNT. In Mr. Schurz’s speech one looks in vain for a sign of the trimming which too often marks those who pride themselves on being “practical politicians,” or of the pandering to prejudice which is always a feature of the demagogue’s character. He has faith in the ultimate efficacy of reason and fact. If our party leaders generally were like him in thefe particulars, the remonetization folly would not have been consummated, nor would tkei* greenback movement have acquired its present proportions. The cowardice of public men helped both quite as much as the misconceptions on which they are founded.—[New York Times. Indiana correspondents furnish the encouraging news that Dan Voorhees is likelv to fait of re-election to the senate. The ancient republican gerrymander of the legislative districts makes it almost impossible for the democrats to elect a clean majority this fall, with a number of national candidates in the field, and if these latter hold the balance of power they will not vote for Voorhees.— [Springfield Republican.

Indian Troubles. A mail carrier from Norton, Kansas, states that 17 men are known to have been killed by Indians in the vicinity of Sappia. He states the hostiles were raiding Beaver creek Wednesday. A dispatch from Ogallala states that at 4 p. m. yesterday he had traveled 20 miles without any water, and no signs of reaching any for 25 miles further. The Indians made directly west and then turned and traveled south toward Platte river, abandoning horses every few miles, leaving them with pack saddles on their backs, being too closelv pursued to take time to unsaddle them. The advance guard of the Fheyennes crossed Dead Horse cmk near Camp*Sheridan. The cattle men state that the Indians had a large herd of ponies w ith them, and were traTeling rapidlv in the direction of Red Cloud's new location on White Clay. This may not be the main body of Cheyennes. It is doubtless their advance guard.

The Potter Failure. [Washington special.] The work of the Potter committee has fallen so flat, as affording effective democratic thunder, that the democrats of the committee hate virtually determined not to re-com-mence operations until after the fall elections and instead of grinding away at the mudthrowing machine, to devote their time and attention to active work upon the stump.

TBE OLD “tTNDEKGROUJfD.” The Way the Slave# Found It and Used It. [St. Louis Fat.] No better illustration of the peculiar relationship of the frtut and present can be found than ihat afforded by the appearance to-dav of a gray-haired negro in the city looking fo‘r his relatives of eighteen years ago. This was Bev Strother, who, with his half brother, Jeff Murray, ran away in 18G0, and had never been heard of by theii friends since. Bev’s face relaxed into a broad grin as he told how “me and Jeff run away, and the awful time we had?” Bev and Jeff were slaves, the former belonging to Travis Murphy and the latter to Dr. J. T Overall, of St.Charles county, Mo.; Bev was threatened with “sale downdc ribber,” the terror of all darkies, and so persuaded Jeff to run away with him. Through an old darkey at St. Charles they found a white man who agreed to’pilot' them 100 miles for $22, and on the night of June 20, 1860, the trio mat and started on a “run away sure enough.” They traveled nights and lav in the brush by day, the white mail being ufed to pilot the way and buy provisions. The negroes had shrewdly provided themselves with a compass, to le sure they were being piloted to the “far off land rather than to Dixie.” They also took pistols to defend themselves with, and always after they had hid for the day and sent the man for provisions, moved their hiding place and watched “dat ar white man ” from a long way off to see that he did not bring auy nigger-catchers wiih him. On the evening of the second day out the white man while out foraging saw Dr. Overall and the pursuing party, and heard him describe the negroes and offer a rew ard for their apprehension. “1 tell you, massa,” said Bev, as he rubbed his gray head, “dem was hot times,” They traveled at right angles with their general course that night, and the pursuing party never htard of them again. The “white pilot and nigger stealer” was given away by a 'pretended would-be runaway about three weeks laier, captured by Dr. Overall, and sentenced after a plea of guilty, by Judge Ring, of the St. Charles circuit cjurt, to six years in the penitentiary. Two weeks later Bev and Jeff turned up at Lafayette, Indiana, with mighty little faith of there being any end to the world or anything for runaway niggers but lore feet and empty stomachs. On the night of their arrival they were followed by a negro man who accused them of being runaways, and tendered his services to show them the* underground railway. They denied one and refused the other, but when the wouldbe guide was reinforced by “one of dem real old honest nigger mothers,” the runaways acknowledged the soft impeachment and wore provided for. At Detroit they jumped off the train a mile from the depot and followed the beckoning of a “Black Hand” without inquiry or explanation, and were locked up in a little room, way up on the [op of a boat. The next day Canada received two citizens and the United States was out $2,000 worth of niggers. Both negroes went lo work on a farm in the county of E sex at

farms. Jeff acquired lion, and, in addition to attending to his own matters, became foreman on a large farm. In June last Jeff was poisoned by his wife, who bids fair to hang. As Jeff had no children, Bev came back to hunt up his" heirs. Bev found his mother, Emily Murray, a negress, 7G years old, still living.* As her'children, 12 in number, are all illegitimate, they can not inherit from each other, and hence she gets Jeffs entire estate, worth some $3,000, subject to the dower rights of the wife. Bev found his old master, who is 97 years of age, still living on the old' place, and was made happy by the kindly manner in which he v. as received and treated by the massa and missus of his Ijpvhood days, and thinks he will sell out and move his family of seven back to “de old Missouri shore.”

Murder and Outrage. A colored man of Washington, D. C., named Stone, on Saturday killed his wife r ith a razor, and made a very savage attack on his sister-in-law with the same weapon. She lies in a dangerous condition. Stone wa' arrested. John Carpenter, who has been separated from his wife for some time, went into St. Francis Xavier church, in New York, yesterday, during services, and drove a knife into the abdomen of Mary Logan, mistaking her for his wife. He was arrested. Saturday night, between 9 and 10, a shooting affray took place in A. Back s store, on the corner of Main and Market streets, Little Reck. James Barso, a tenant with whom he had a suit in court, with a knife and revolver went into the store, shot once, and was arrested and lodged in jail. John Thomas, colored, was caught and lynched yesterday, at Franklin, Tennessee, for the rape of a five year old daughter of James G. Shannon. He confessed his guilt. A little girl eleven years old, daughter of a Mr. Bates, of Newark, Ohio, was outraged yesterday afternoon by a man named Burch Moore. ’ The child had been sent by her mother to a neighbor’s on an unfrequented road, and when passing a thicket was seized by Moore, and the act was consummated. He was arrested shortly afterward and was identified by the girl. People are greatly excited and.lynching is threatened.

Sale of Bonds Stopped. [Washington special.] Former treasury officials, who have been for years connected with the syndicate in Loudon, and now returned here, say that the sale of the United States bonds on a large scale has now practically stopped in England, as in the present condition of the money market no large loan can be placed there. All tbe 4 per cents, now being sold are taken in this country. ^ Coin is Its Own Pledge. [Cincinnati Commercial.] What is the use of pledging the faith of the nation to “absolute money” in the shape of greenback^? What is thee to pledge for? It is not necessary to pledge for gold and silver, for they carry the pledge on their face— a pledge of intrinsic value, stamped by government. If paper can be made as absolute as coin, it is folly to pledge anything for it.

Bank President Arrested. Henry Greenbaum, ex-president of the German savings bank, of Chicago, was arrested Saturday on charges preferred by T. B. Weber for the embezzlement of $225,000. He was taken before Justice Foote and held to bail in the sum of $25,000.

Resignation of the Hungarian Ministry. An imperial decree has been published, accepting the resignations of the whole Hungai ian ministry, but ordering them to continue the administration of affairs until the appointment of their successors.

Oh, Oh! The Momunds are marching to join the Cabules.

Von Moltke Resigns. A dispatch from Berlin reports that Field Marshal Count Von Moltke has tendered his resignation. The matter will be decided when the emperor resumes control of the government.

Condon’s Arrival. Condon arrived at Cincinnati yesterday. The train was boarded at Cumminsville by his mother, sister and brothers, and the greeting after twelve years of separation was very affecting.

A Successful Steeple Chase. At a steeple chase Saturday at Montreal, Dr. Murcott of Ottawa' was thrown from his horse and killed, Mr. Penniston has his arm broken and Mr. McLaughlin his wrist fractured.

At the Stairs. “Come to the foot of the stair*, mamma,’’ My coaxing darlings said, “And give us there our good-night kits, Before we go lo bed.” To tbe warm nursery above. Whence shown a mellow light, • The little i«re feet clambering up. The night-gowns fluttering white. In the dark hall I stoed and gazed, Like Jacob when he dreamed; Pure angels on their upward way, To me the children seemed. 8ince then the little broJj is less; One pattering step I ihiss; One fair, small face no more is raised To claim it* good-night kiss. Alas! the partings at the stairs From those we fondly love! Our household angels passing up To the lighted rooms al>ove!

The Three Lessons. There are three lessons I would write— Three words as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light, Upon the hearts of men. Have hope. Though clouds environ now, And gladness hides her face in scorn, Put thou the shadow from the brow— No night but hath its morn. . Have faith. Where’er thy bark is driven— The calm’s disport, the temfieit’s mirth— Know this—Goa rates the host of heaven, The inhabitants of earth. Have love Not love alone for one. But man as man thy brothers call, A nd scat ter like the circling sun Thy charities on all. < Thus grave these lessons on thy soul— Hepe, Faith and Love—and thou shall find Strength when life’s surges rudest roll, Light when those else were blind. -[Schiller.

Magistrates and court officers warmiy shook his hand after the deed, and he was invited to many entertainments.

“Knowledge is power.” Not always; tho boy that gathers up his fishing tackle and empty basket as the sun is sinking in the west know’s that his mother stands watching and waiting for him at the garden gate, and the knowledge that the kindling wood remains uncut is such a source of weakness to him that to march along and whistle “What is home without a mother” is an utter impossibility.—[Yonkers Gazette.

A well-dressed voting man entered a New York up town office one day last week, and said to the occupant: “Sir, I am making a collection of small coins.

The gentleman was too astonished at the fellow to say a word.

John Evans dropped into Tyringham, Massachusetts, two years ago, from nobody knows where. He would never explain who or what he was, but he soon became popular and married the daughter of a resident. A few days ago he quit the table in the midst of dinner, went out of Tyringham, and has not been there since. Why he disappeared is as much a mystery as where he came from. Even hie wife only knows that while he remained he was a kind husband.

To his horror the saw took that one, too, clean off at the second joint. One of the American millionaires who are doing the Paris exhibition wanted some champagne with his dinner, but, being unable to speak French, had to make signs to indicate his wishes.

THE JEWS.

STATE NEWS.

The Bare In New York—Change* In Worship—Rich and Poor—Their Influence la Names. [New York correspondence Cincinnati Gaiette.] Whoever else may complain of doll times, it could not be so with the Hebrew part of ’our population, which has been thoroughly enlivened by tbe recent celebration of the New Year. The Jews, as in the days of Paul, show great religious zeal, and their observance of holy days is sometimes very intense. Such was the occasion which has lately occurred, and which commanded general observance. As the Hebrew element is one-twelfth the entire population of the city, (being 80,000). it forms a‘ feature worthy of our notice. The rich Jews are scattered among the fashionable localities, of which tin- Fifth avenue has a full share. The poor, however, huddle together in certain portions of the city, thus formings voluntary Ghetto. As a large part of the Hebrew population is of German and Polish birth, the locality above referred to has much the aspect ot a foreign city. The names on the aignSj as well as the style of lettering, indicate this, in addition to which it may be noticed that the English language is rarely used. This community has but a faint idea of our laws, and still less of our government. Whenever disputes occur in their number they are submitted to the elders in the synagogue, whose decision is final. These primitive people claim to be the only depositaries of ancient truth, and hold in contempt thereformed Jews, who, as they say, are led away by fashion and the love of the world. Their children are taught Hebrew, and the customs of the ancient nation are maintained with great precision. The worship is strange and fantastic, to an unaccustomed eve, and a visit to the old synagogue is therefore a matter of curiosity.

THE REARED ELBMEXT.

The rich and fashionable portion of eur Israelitish population have several new and elegant places of worship, one of which is the Tempel Emmanuel in the Fifth avenue, whicn cost nearly a million. They have abandnned many of the old customs and opinions, having adopted what is called the “new law.” For instance, orthodox Jews require the women to sit in the gallery,- while the men occupy the first floor. The latter also wtar their, hats during worship, but all this is changed in the new regime, where even the books of service are printed with alternate pages of English. Among this class the Hebrew is less cultivated, and they are more American in their feelings, while' the orthodox cling with much tenacity to their foreign

associations, y

The next annual meeting of the state executive committee of the Y. M. C. A. will be held at Columbus, commencing on October 31 and continuing to November 3.

Mrs. Emily Charles, the talented poetess of this city, will read an original poem before the southern Indiana editorial association, which meets at New Albany October 24. Lewis Abbott has been sentenced in De Kalb county to a life term for the murder of Frederick Halton, last May. This was the first murder in that county for forty years. Mr. M. B. Wharton, a prominent citizen of Terre Haute, died Saturday of trphoid pneumonia, leaving a daughter as the only surviving member of his familr, his wife having died recently. The little daughter of Mr. Brown, near Laf§jette 9 who got so badly injured by a barrow, is improving, and the doctor now thinks she will recover. She had fourteen wounds upon her person.

Fndav afternoon k young man entered J. E. Hardesty’s restaiirant, at Lafayette, and while he engaged the attention of the clerk in the rear end of The room, a confederate abstracted about $75 from the till. Both thieves escaped. The fourth annual convention of the Christian women's board of missions met in Noblesville Friday, in the Christian church, Mrs. Adkinson, of Wabash, in the chair. The principal feature of the afternoon was the president’s address and secretary’s report. This report showed a steady iacreaseof interest in the work, eleven new auxiliaries having been formed in the past year, with much interest and increased collections. Mrs. Maria Jameson, of Indianapolis, gave an interesting account of tbe mission supported by this society in Jamaica. Short addresses were made by Mr#. Boor, of New Castle, and Mrs. Tomlinson of Indianapolis. An essay by Mrs. Dr. Brown closed the afternoon session. In the evening Mrs. Dr. Brown read an address full of thought and power. Mrs. Boor read a poem entitled “Go tell the story.” Much enthusiasm and good feeling was manifested.

RICH AND ROOK.

The wealth in Hebrew possession is immense, but it, is centralized in a small number, while the greatest portion of the race is very poor. “Rich as a Jew” has been a common expression in many cases, but it might be changed to “poor as a Jew.” The intense poverty that prevails among the largest part of this class is borne with great patience. They have learned to support life in the cheapest possible manner, and to this they submit. In point of professional distinction the Jews have as yet to make their mark. They had one prominent editor, Mordecai M. Noaq, but he is dead, and his sons, though connected with the press, can not fill his place. In law they dre represented by Carduzo, who, while judge, disgn^ed the bench. Abe Hummell, the smallest of our lawyers in point of size, but a man of unusual ability, is the principal Hebrew lawyer of the metropolis. The Jews show but little histrionic disposition; and hence are seldom found on the stage. Their greatest importance is felt in finance and banking, but, in point of traffTc, they hare not as yet won distinction, though they include a few opulent houses.

MEN or WEALTH.

The banker Seligman, the Bernbemers, the Harts, and others who may be mentioned, represent vast wealth. The house of Hendricks Brothers, metal dealers, is also immensely rich, being the most extensive real estate owners among the Hebrews of New York. August Belmont is really the richest Jew in this city, being estimated at from five to eight millions. He is now about sixty-five, and has for a third of a century represented the Rothschilds with great success. The real name of this man is AuguSt Schonberg, who, when he reached this city, was a German Jew. He changed his name, however, for one that indicates French origin, and also cast off his religion because it was not fashionable. After going through a few years of reckless dissipation he reformed and married an elegant woman whose fa her, the late Commodore Perry, held high rank in the navy. Notwithstanding the facCthat Belmont has for so many years shunned the Hebrews and renounced their faith, they still bold him by a secret power, and in all probability he will die a professed Jew. The wealth owned by our Hebrew capitalists is estimated at $150,000,000. They maintain a hospital and have other charities in operation. It has been suggested that one reason why the Jews make so little progress in the higher walks of literature is to be found in the nature of their religion. Christianity is aggressive and cosmopolitan, while Judaism is limited in its scope and retrospective in its view. Christianity operates on genius in the way of a grand expansion, even among those who may not fully adopt the details of the system. [New York correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer.] 8CHD8Z AND JUDAH.

Jewish gentleman said: “The Hebrews ol this country may claim Schurz's influence as

a part of their endowment.” “How is that?” I answered.

“Well, Schurz derived his financial inde-

pendence from his wife, Miss Meyer, of Hamburg. She was of Jewish root, as all the Meyers are. You seldom see a person named Meyer or Meyers who has not the dark lights in his face. It was the name of the founder of the Rothschilds house—Meyer Anselm Rothschild. Mrs. Schurz, a very beautiful and refined lady, drew from the hardware business of her father a considerable sum of money, and Schurz rounded his talents and career with it The gentleman added: “The names ol manv European families, I have reason to believe, are Jewith; for instance, Lewis or Louis, tbe prename of Kings; I believe it was originally Levi or Levy. Louise is a derivation of Louis. The Hebrew sound of “v” is retained in the Italian Lodovico, and the Spanish Clcdoveo. Nearly all the Mosses and Morses are corruptions of’ Moses. A singular euphony was got out of the name of Levi by an ex-senator of Florida, who changed his name to Yulee. Fully half of European names were Hebrew, and they often became changed from prenames to surnames. The family name of Ganse, Gansevoort, etc., is raid to come from.a Jew, who, after a certain edict commanding surnames to be taken, applied to his mayor for a name. The mayor had been ail that day naming Lyons, Bulls, etc., and as the Jew asked a g< ose walked across the yard. ‘Good-bye, Mr. Ganse’ (goose,) exclaimed the weary mayor, enrolling another member of the aris-

tccracy.”

Bismarck on Universal Suffrage* [Speech in the ReiehaUg. ] My conversations with L&ssalle also turned upon universal suffrage; but I never in my whole life entertained so monstrous an idea as to decree its introduction. I accepted it with a certain reluctance, as a Frankfort tradition. In the rivalries of those times with tbe adversaries of the state that card bad been played; and we found it lying upon the table as a legacy left to os. At that time my conviction oi its efficacy was but small, and only in the direction of its utility during a political contest as a popular weapon.

Coffin in tbe second, Bickneli in the Ithd, New in the fourth, Myers in tbe sixth, De Ia Matyr in the seventh. Hostetler in the eighth and Colerirk in the twelfth.
