The Indianapolis News has a bona fide circulation more than one-half larger than that of any other daily paper in Indiana. Tits noble scritcber was abroad in the land yesterday. Ben.Kit says he is in the field for next year. He is like the chap who tried to throw the jnan across the river—’‘didn’t expect to do it at one throw.’ 1 Thk treasury contains *32,322,034 in silver doUars; $17,755,986.76 in fractional silver coin and $3,537,224.31 in silver bullion. The gold coin and bullion amounts to $171,517,713.65. Nbabdy two dozen salaried government officers, ranging from collector Beard at at $8,000 to John Putnam at $1,000, were on the republican stump in Massachusetts during the recent campaign. Butler failed to become the crested jay-hawk of the mountain yesterday; he is still merely the bald-headed snipe of the valley, or a dead duck, or a lone, lorn widder, or something of that sort. Cardinal Maenino is hard at work seeking a modification of the inside arrangements of the Catholic church in England, in order to make it easier for the Ritualists to come into the church, lie hopes to have the rule of celibacy of the clergy repealed and the granting of certain powers to the English Catholics as a national church. The high church clergy, who are Catholics at heart, naturally wish to retain their family relations and Manning wants to oblige them. A South Carolina law of last year avoids federal supervision of state elections by providing that at each voting precinct there must be two boxes “kept separate and apart and not in the same apartment.” One is used for the ballots of presidential electors and congressmen and the’ other for state officers. This is not a bad regulatiqn and might result in correcting other evils, any great disparity for instance between the totals of the two boxes would show something was wrong. And I want every man to remember that in voting for Cornell he votes* for the best sentiment of the republican party in its best days.—tBlaine’s New York speech. Isn’t this humiliating enough? Cornell’s own supporters confess that he is a “machinist,” a man that scofl's at anything ]ike a pure civil service, and who regards the use of the public service as a means for the advancement of his party, and not for the good of the people. His nomina-^ tion was deplored by some of his supporters, but they pleaded that he was the only man, as Mr. Evarta put jt, by casting a vote for whom it was possible to vote for republican principle*. Thii certainly was bad enough; republican principles had to be espoused through the espousal of a “practical politician” like Cornell. iW now comes Blaine to aay that such a vote is a vote for the sentiments of the republican party in its beat days. What a libel upon early republicanism! Signs all over the south point to a renewal in the spring of the wave of colored emigration, the spray of which fell chiefly in Kansas this year. Associations are being organized, funds collected, agents sent out and plans matured to have all in readiness against the springtime for a fair start. A citizen of Mississippi thinks that 60,000 negroes will leave the Mississippi bottoms. Six hundred are making ready to leave Shelby and San Augustine counties, Texas. The Times, of Valdosta, Ga., says the negroes in that region are selling , off their goods to get money to take them to Kansas, while North Carolina papers report similar signs there. It is said the secret associations by which the repub1 icans organized the colored vote are being revived, and the colored churches and ministers in all regions are making it their business to systematically forward the moremeDt. There seems no doubt then that next spring will witness a very great colored exodus. It will not a^go to Kansas either as the little sprinkliMof it did last year, and other states mm ex |»ect to number among their citizens ^ore colored ones than they have now. As The News has said before this movement is a solution of a great question. It will

benefit the aowthern states and wilt benefit the northern. A preponderenoe of colored population in any community is a great evil, and will be until the disparity between the races is far lew than it is now, snd until the prejudice which yet exists in most respectable quarters disap|>ears. It will cause those who stay in the south to be better treated, and may modify the views of some gentlemen who theoretically embrace the race just now. The actual presence of a considerable number of negroes in a community, would make a practical question of what is now mostly fine spun sentiment. But best of all is the effocf of the colored race. It will be a great step for them, and that they will take it shows the improvement they have made since, they became freedmen.

The Results of the Elections Election returns at this writing are too meager to base any detailed discussion upon, to point a moral or adorn a tale. Generally it may be taken that the results are favorable to the republicans and unfavorable to the democrats, and an official count will hardly extract any contort for the latter party. The whole set of the tide seems to be toward the republicans, sad though there may be local exceptions, they will simply prove the rule. The republicans have carried everything they were expected to, and in many places with gains. Connecticut and New Jersey, which were looked upon as probable pillars of democracy, show by thin election what an uncertainty such a calculation is. They return republican legislatures. They had them before, but the fact that they keep them shows that i« the places where the democrats had the most hopes of doing something, they do nothing. Massachusetts probably presents a phenomenal result. Butler is defeated, but it is likely with a greater vote than he had before. Long’s vote (republican) is considerably less than Talbot’s vote was, while Adams received about the same number Abbott did. In New York, around which the greatest interest centers, the regular democracy is certainly the sufferer, though it may have some compensations. Robinson is undoubtedly defeated and Cornell elected. The state ticket is in doubt, both sides claiming it. The republicans have the legislature. If the democrats carry their state ticket minus Robinson it may mean either a Kelly or a republican victory according as this result is accomplished in the state or in the city. That tha anti-Tammany candidates in New York county beat the Tammany candidates may not imply a defeat for Kelly, as republicans voted for them in trade for Kelly votes for Cornell. This gentleman’s total vote in comparisoa with the remainder of the republican ticket will tell whether or not the independent republicans have been an appreciable force in the campaign. If he runs a respectable number behind the ticket in the state it will be a victory for the independents, for it will show that they are a factor which must be taken into account in the election next year. No one expects a divided democracy in New York in the presidential campaign, whether Tilden be bottled or not by the result this year—although this is likely to be the moral of Robinson’s defeat. In 1880 tha republicans must calculate on a united New York democracy and if the independents have cast a respectable number of votes this year they can not be ignored in 1880. It will take the fullest details and some fine mathematical demonstration to show with whom rests the victory in New York this year, and what that victory means. It might be hazarded now that Tilden is done for, the democrats have had a set-back and that the independent republicans have scored ane for future use. If the republicans have carried their stite ticket it holds out the hope that with a candidate next year who will command the independent vote, they may carry the state. Yesterday’s work generally means a democratic defeat all along the line. cuKKiurr uuauucNr. The largest number of letters and other mailed documents received in a day by any one Loadon firm, is reported by the British postmaster general to be 3,000. The New York Sun, while it has never received nearly so many as this, says its daily correspondence is enormous, and larger than that of any newspaper in the country, and that it is remarkable how intelligently expressed the vast majority of it is. Letters from persons of all ages, sexes and conditions on almost every possible subject, and yet in spite of occasional offenses against syntax and orthography, they are tersely and clearly put; a great compliment, this, to the general intelligence of this country. The wild eyed child of Indiana who wrote the poetere announcing the coming of Grant ought to apply for the place of poet-laureate in case such an office were created. Such a mixture of goose-flesh, glorification and gush we doubt has ever been hurled at “the honored guests of kings and principalities in returning from a tour around the world in glory,” as ihe poster puts it. To fitly characterize it recalls a scene in the senate during the good old days of the corruptionists when “Subsidy” Pomeroy rose with a resolution of sympathy for France, anent her dnel with Germanv, “Whereas,” read “Subsidy,” “since the noise and clamor of battWbave subsided we can hear more plainly the groans of the wounded and dying,” etc. Saulsbury, of. Delaware, who was in his usual condition, rose and bawled out “Mr. President.” Colfax recogaized him, and then the Delaware senator waving a long arm toward Pomeroy once or twice while he tetered to and fro, roared, “Mr. President, j—j’ust listen to that! Just listen to’L" a suppressed titter rippled over the floor of the senate, while an unsupressed one in the galleries called out Colfax’s gavel. Pomeroy mopped his boiled-lobster face, and asked for a vote in spite of Saulsbury’s gleeful appeal, “Oh r'read’t agen! Do read’t ageo.” The office Grant wants is very plainly to be seen. At Omaha the other day he said, “Even yonr worthy mayor has been trying to hold out inducements to me to come and settle in Omaha. If I should do so, from what I hare seen around me since I came to your state, I am sure I should be a formidable rival of his the first time he wanted to

be elected to an office.” At Dnblin or some other city of Great Britian of which he was be was made a citizen a couple ot years ago, be said at the lime he might take it into his head to ran for mayor. Sb It is mayor Grant wants to be. Let us have peace. The opposition to General Grant must abandon all specnlation, all personal slander, all groundless Imputation of his motives, and state clearly and immisukably the really strong objections to his re-election. These are an unwritten law and the written record of two unsuccessful adminutratious.—[Louisville Poet and News. We repeat, the working of nniversal male snfirage on our public affairs and on the voters themselves, baa net been such u to cause in thinking men that confidence in its elevating power which gives to women suffragists their zeal.—[Cincinnati Gazette. We most not expect immuaity frem credit inflation, and price inflation, and their consequences, because the greenbacks and bank notes are at par and nominally convertible, nor yet because we are importing large quantities of gold. Inflation is possible with a good currency. Evidences are not wanting that there is now too strong a tendency in this direction.—[Chicago Times.

The Finest Sapphire in the World. [Lucyhooper's Psris Letter.] I have recently been favored with a sight of one of the famous jewels of the world—a stone that has its history and its pedigree, and is celebrated ia the annals of the noted gems of Europe. 1 have held in my baud and admired beneath the rays of the sanlight the finest sapphire tbai' is known to exist. This beautiful and well-nigh priceless stone combines in a singularly perfect degree the leading qualifications of size, and shape, color and water. In form it is a flat oval, being about two inches loag by an inch and a half wide. It is cut slightly en cabochau on top, and into a multitude of small facets beneath. Its hue is perfect, being a warm, lustreus Marie Lonise blue, not so dark as to show black beneath the gaslight, but having all the velvety softness and purity of tint that is required in a really fine gem of this description. Its weight is 300 carats, aad it belongs to a noble and wealthy Kuaaim family, in whose possession it has been for the past two centuries, and it has been placed by us owner in the hands of one of the great diamond merchants of Paris for safe keeping. One of the Rothschild family has offered for it no less a sum than *300,000, but the offer has been refused. I asked the courteous gentleman in whose care it has been left as to the actual value of the stone. He told me that, as it was perfectly unique, ao precise valuation could be set upon it, but that he was inclined to estimate it at some *400,000

Great. Hendricks and Xiblack. flnter-Ocean ■pedal, Burlington, Iowa.] Meeting the general with Mrs. Judge Cole, the conversation continued until some of the pleasant things which Hendricks had said of General Grant were referred to. The general was asked if he thought Hendricks was friendly to him, and he replied, with some annoyance : “Uh, I can’t say, I am sure, whether he is friendly or not; I always treated him, as other democrats, right, and he as well as Niblack always came to see me whea they were in Washington. The last time Niblack was at the White house was nearly a year before the election .of 187G, and became in asking‘How is the next election going?” and I told him republican, because, while I didn’t always have confidence in the good management of the republican leaders, 1 knew the capacity of the democraU for blunders could not fail, and Niblack found out afterward that I was right.”

Presidential Chances in 1880. * [Gen. Grant’* View.] The general was asked whether he considered the chances as good for republican success now as he did before the election of 1870, and he replica: “Well, if they aint we will be beaten, for those fellows in the south will see to it that the republicans don’t carry Louisiana, Mississippi, or any other southern state. We will have a solid south, but the chances in the noith are very much better, I think, than then. W 7 e don’t need to carry only two of the northern states which we lost last time, or New York alone.”

Concerning Chandler. . General Grant: “I have been reading to--day wbat the paperssay of Chandler’s death,” said General Grant, when some mention had been made of Chandler, “and I see it amounts almost to a universal expression of sorrow. I will be curious to see what the southern papers say, Some of them will be cautions, but papers like that one in Okolona (what is its name?) will say what they think. I am sorry people think down there as they do, but as long as they do I am glad there are {tapers like that one to tell us of it.”

An Argument Against Fiatlsm. {EvansviUe Tribune.J The circulating medium is now in the hands of the government, which controls it so far as to see that the people are secured against loss. It is an argument against tiatiem, because that is the kind of circulating medium which leaves people without any common measure of value, etc , and it is particularly strong against the kind of currency which Indiana had when ruled by democrats, till the national bank law drove it out of existence.

The Cotton Crop. [Washington letter.] I The largest cotton crop ever gathered in Texas in one year before the war, was 200,000 bales. The crop this year will reach 1,000,000 bales, and the increase is due to white labor, as the emigration to that state since the war has not included any negroes. The lo’al cotton crop of this year is estimated at 5,000,000 bales, and it is claimed that more than half of it is the oroduction of white labor.

Wedding In Mammoth Cava. [Bowling Green Democrat.] Next Wednesday week a certain romantically inclined couple from hereabouts will be united in marriape in Mammoth cave. The party, consisting' of eight couples in all, will leave here Tuesday, taking with them the Rev. Jeese Grider, who will nave the honor of adjusting the silken noose. This couple evidently do not intend to be married on earth.

A Chicken that Drink*. i [Little Bock, Ark., Gzgetie.] There is a chicken at the store of J. George that has contracted the habit of getting drunk on whisky. Mornings before it has a chance to get its “cocktail” it evinces a degree of nervousness that is distressing. Sometimes, while under the influence of liquor, it is very quarrelsome, and often comes with a sore head from drunken brawls.

G BAHT’S PRIVATE A (FAIRS.

MVWOWBM IB XA Kntat* and Haw it D Inv—tad. [Inter-Ocean Interview at Burllagtoa.) “How much hare you ever lived in Galana, General?” “Not very much. I was there in 1961 eleven months, and in 1868 a few weeks, ani l don’t think I have bean there for^more than n day or two at a time since, and then I itop]*ed with friends, although my bouse it always there furnished and ready for me, a family who Uvea in the back part taking care of it.” “WiH you meet any old friends and acquaintances of yours in Galena now?” “No. not over a half dozen whom I used to

know”

“Then Galena has charged more than any other town in the United States, I pre-

sume?”

“From the richest and moat prosperous town of its size in the west, to about the poorest. It used to be the shipping point for all the lead mines in tnat region; but a railroad was built near there—first from Chicago, then from southern Wisconsin, and they kept coming into that section, every time cutting off some of Galena's territory, umH its population had been reduced from 12,000 to 0,000 inhabitants, aad from a fast mining town changed to a slow town sup-

ported by a farming country.”

“Won't it be hard. General, for you to

content yourself there ?”

“No, I think not W*hen I was in Japan I went up in the mountains and stayed ten days almost alone. It was a novel experience for me, bot I enjoyed it. I shall not be able to do much more than call Galeaa my home after awhile. It is a good place to live now, as on my income I can live there much cbeai>er than in a large' city, and live better than most of my neighbors then. My income is not large enough for me to live as I would like, and I will have to find something to do after a while. I have two farms near St.'Louis, and some real estate in Chicago, which if I could sell I would feel better off. My land in Chicago is thirty-one acres, just outside the western, limits af Chicago. Eleven years ago I was offered *1,50# an acre for it, and now, after paying taxes on it all that time, I couldn’t get *250 an acre for it. But I did better in some other investments, or I could never hare traveled abroad as long as I have. I had stock in the Adams express company, which went up; and I bought right after the fire in Virginia City, Nev., Union and C. k C. stock, when it had gone down from *700 a share to *130, and made *50.000 or $60,000 there. “Does Mrs. Grant like to live in Galena?”

schools and churches.” “Do yon always attend the Methodist church, general?” “Yes; my father and mother were both Methodists, aad I hare always preferred that church.”

The Big Chicago Failure: [New York special.] The failure of Stettauer Brothers k Co. caused intense excitement here. The impression in the trade is that the failure is a badpne. They have paid for very few of their fall purchases, none of the bills maturing in October. Their sales amounted to over *500,000 the oast year, and their credit was very high. Their paoer was sold recently in this market to the extent of *280,000, of which all except *25,000 has been paid. The judgment of those best informed is that all confidential debts have already been paid or secured. Most of their paper was held by relatives and friends. Nearly all commission houses in this city, the Tribune says, are sufferers. fChicago Time*, yesterday.! While the firm allege that their snsnension is in a large measure due to their inability to make collections,Chicago^ merchants are unanimous in the declaration that collections were never better, and that this statement of the firm must be accepted with some grains of allowance, unless it can be shown that their affairs have been recklessly managed. The fact that the firm refuses to make any statement regarding their condition does not improve the impression which the failure hnsmadeontbe minds of the community. “There is something behind this business,” was ap expression one heard on every hand yesterday. And a question one often heard was “where are the bankers? Why didn’t they call on them?” There is a notion abroad that: these “bankers” concluded to draw off for awhile and let affairs come to a settlement. When the desk is cleared of the debris it is believed these “bankers” will come forward in the form of principals, and resuscitate the business.

Wbat Make* Horn* Happy. [Edward Evenett Hale.] If home is the kiagdom of God, and the kingdom of God home may be, it is because the spirit of God is there. It is because the woman who is the queen of that home makes home the center of her thought, her hope, her prayer. It is because the man who has sworn to lore her, to honor her and to cherish her, knows that he best keeps his oath by making her home and his home glad, and cheerful, and beautiful; because he does not neglect it and desert it. To thosa two there grow up children who know that the noblest duty is the duty next their hand: who are glad to surprise their mother with a,new pleasure or relieve her from an old care; children who find their father their best companion, and who have no secret from him of boyhood’s or girlhood’s joys or sorrows.

Fotatj fritter*. Six table.«poonfuls of mashed potatoes—very fine; one-half cup of good cream; five eggs —the yolks light and strained, the whites very stiff; two tablespoonfuls powdered sugar; two tablespoonfuls prepared flour; juice of one lemon, half the grated peel; one-half teaspoonful nutmeg. Work the cream into the potato; beat up light aad rub through a sieve or fine colander; add to this the beaten yolks and sugar; whip to. a creamy froth; put in the lemon, flour and nutmeg, and beat five minutes longer before the whites are stirred in. Have your lard ready and hot in the frying pan; drop in the batter /by the spoonful and fry to a light brown; drain on clean paper aad serve at once. Eat with wine sauce.

Baked Apples, This is a very healthful dish, and may be made a very enticing one. Pare and core large, juicy apples, but do not break them in pieces; fiil the centers with sugar, a little lemon juice and a little bit of the yellow part of the lemon rind; put a clove in each apple; lay them in a pan with a little water in the bottom; sprinkle sugar on the tops and bake; baste them often, and when done set away to cool. Put them on ice if you can, the colder they are the better. Whip cream and spread over them thickly: send powdered sugar around with them. If you cannot get cream content yourself by serving the apples with rich milk and sugar, or a boiled custard may be poured over them.

An African Railway. A project for a railway through central Africa is now said to be well under way, tne route to lie from the river Zambesi through Livingstoniaca, to the northern coast of Zanzibar. Mr. Stanley, it is said, started the idea. Manchester merchants have taken it up, the government approves it, and a comj*ny with £2,000,000 capital is about to be formed.

He Knew* When He’s Had Enough, [Columbus Democrat.] Tom Browne thinks Grant has too much good sense to become a candidate for a third term. We believe that Tom has too much good sense to become a candidate for governor.

A Boom for Sheridan. [Madison Courier.] If a mad on horseback is needed in the White house for the next'four years the maa who rode from Winchester to Cedar creek can fill the bill in every particular.

Something Rambles. General Sberman baa written a military friend that General Grant has an important message to deliver to the people of the United States, which he will first give to them when he reaches Chicago.

A Female Soldier. [Borne letter in London Times.] A soldier named Mariotti, of the eleventh battalion of the Italian Bersaglieri, though long confined to the room by illness, refused to be carried to the hospital. Ultimately, on being forcibly removed thither, the soldier was discovered to be a woman. She joined the army during the war of 186*5 to enable her brother to remain with his wife and six children. She had previously, being very strong, worked in the mines. At Custozza she won a medal for bravery. The king has now conferred on her a decoration, and sent her home with a pension of 500 lire.

A Slngl* California Induatry. [San Francisco Call.] The wine productof California is becoming of great importance. In 1878, according to returns, Sonoma county was ahead in the quantity of wine produced, the number of gallons being 2,500,000. Los Angeles county came next, with 1,703.500 gallons; and then Napa county, the products of which were 1,494.000 gallons. El Dorado county returned 525.200 gallons. The total number of gallons for the state, in 1878, was 8,040,365.

Chicago's School Children. There are in Chicago 50,561 children of school sge, of whom nbont 6.000 do not attend school.

SCRAPS.

Kossuth has his memoirs, letters and essays nearly ready for publication. The story of Mrs. Meeker’s escape from the Indian bureau is a most thrilling one.— [Chicago Times. In 1873 the people of this world exchanged 3.300.000. 000.1etters, and in 1877 they sent 130.000. 000 telegrams. Beaver divides the honors with velvet at a material for winter bonnets. Its furry surface is decidedly becoming to ths,majority of wearers. Thalberg’s body, marvelously petrified, has been deposited in a richly ornamented coffin in a magnificent chapel erected by his widow near Naples. Lawrence, Mass., has no chfirch bells within its limits, with the exception of the Catholic churches. The mill bells hare always rung for meeting and still do. It ia said of General Eli VTarren of Perry, Ga., that he bos been engaged on one side or the other in every murder case that has boon tried in that county during the last fifty years. ‘ x In Milan there are no fewer than eightyfive establishments engaged in the supply of theater costumes and properties, as many as 1,000 persons being employed iu the manufacture of silk tights alone. ' Prof. Charles Grobe, who died suddenly at Stroudsburg, Pa., on Monday, composed during bis life 1,000 pieces of music, and could never be reduced to complete the 1,000, as he thought that with it he would esd his life. The Z.uln women are sold in marriage for a certain number of cows. The bridegroom furnishes the cows, and his prospective father-in-law takes them. The Chicag# Tribune thinks this is the boss way of getting married. The Humboldt (Tenn.) Argus] advises southern land owners to divide their property into forty acre and sixty acre tracts, and sell them to small enstomers on ten years’ credit at six or seven per cent, interest. If this is done, the Argus thinks, the south would be independent of hard times. Mrs. Bodie, the wife of Waterman Bodie, the original discoverer of the famous silvermining district bearing his same, and whose body has just been found, after twenty years’ search, lives in Poughkeepsie, where she has earned a scanty living as a seamstress. It] is not believed thatjshe will have any claim on the mides. At the time of his death General Hooker owned a handsome lot in Spring Grove cemetery, Cincinnati, for which he paid *5.000, and in which his remains and those of his wife will be deposited at the same time. About a month ago he completed arrangements for the erection of a monument on this lot, which is to be is place by next Jane. San Francisco is probably the most cosmopolitan city in the United States. An English traveler lately visiting there writes: “I bad my boots blacked by an African, my chin shaved by a European, and my bed made bT «u Asiatic; a Frenchman cooked my dinner, an Englishman showed me my seat, an Irishman changed my plate, a Chinaman washed my table napkin, and a German handed me my biU." They intend making traveling more convenient on the continent of Europe by adopting a system of railway carriages. Little Belgium is wide awake in matters of business, and. is setting the first example. The international company of sleeping cars has submitted a project to the government of Brussels for organizing a great express train between Ostend, Cologne, Berlin, and the Russian frontier. The train will be exclusively composed of sleeping cars and saloon carriages. A little daughter of one of the Yale professors somewhat astonished her father the other day. While playing about under the table she broke.the handle of a basket she found there. Gazing upon her handiwork in dismay she was silent for a minute, and then she used the first words that came into her mind. They were the words which sent a thrill of horror through all the “Pinafore” crew?, namely, “Damme that’s too bad.” Her father will soon publish a treatise entitled “Unconscious- profanity among children; its cause and treatment’' Colonel Burkett gave an illustration of an East Tennesseean's politics worthy of record. The mas was an Englishman, who had alternately sided with confederate and federal, as circumstances favored one side or the other in the great conflict and had the respect of neither side, but was generally regarded in the community as little better than a yellow dog. During a camp meeting excitement he becam<* enthused religiously, and some of his acquaintances, not suspecting the great change going on within asked him wbat he thought of the finale of the war. “Oh !” eaid he, “I have experienced a change of heart, and the north may go hits way and the south may go hits way, bat Pm for Jesus!”

thk wramr south. IU Cotton. Rogor, Hogrooo, Politico- A Row Life Waking[Cincinnati Timea.] Mr. Jas. H. Laws returned this morning early from an extended trip through the south, where he had bees to look at the state of thoee crops which bis large house handles. He was found at his office about 9 o’clock, looking none the worse for wear. He received tke Times pleasantly, as is his wont, fsr he has a warm side toward the press, and after some general conversation a few questions in regard to his trip brought out the following information: “Good crops? Oh yaaf The crops have done well in the south this post year. The recovery of the sugar crop frem the damages of the storm in September has been Simply wonderful. Why, sir; it was thought that the sugar crop would be almost ruined, but the fine weather of the last few weeks has brought it out in a wonderful manner. In many .places, the crops that I saw were first class. “Cotton? Yes sir; it is .the beat se&soa they have had for years for harvesting their crop, which isa good one, aad they will get it in excellent condition. “No, I never' said a word about politics en my trip, from one end to the other.” [The credulous reporter smiled, as doubtless will the reader.] “The negroes are plenty enough in Louisiana, and there were no complaints, that! heard, of their scarcity anywhere. Why. they are getting *1 a day for day work during the grinding season, and 60 cents per watch in the night. Humph!”—and here Mr. Law? slapped his knee with marked emphasis—“the negroes up here had better not hear of that. I wonder how they would like thoee wages and a home in that ever sunny land. No, sir; the idea that »he white? down south are so eager to retain the negroes is a humbug. The only wrong done the negro in the matter of wagfes is when he works for some poor cotton planter who, when his crop is gathered, finds himself more in debt at the grocery at the cross roads than his crop is worth.' In that case both employer and employed most suffer; then the only thing for the nig—negro to do is to go somewhere else where he can make a living. He has the same right as the white man to make a living, and the same right to go where he can make it; and instead of patting obstacles in his way the whites are ready, multitudes of them to put a quarteror a five dollar hill in bis hand to help his off. Yon put it down as a humbug, this talk about throwing obstacles in the way of the negro to keep him there. You go ia the sugar districts and you will find no negro destitution. “One cannot help noting everywhere the inroads machinery—the newest and best centrifugals—are making on old implements and methods. A new life is waking up in the sugar districts of .the south, and with it i? coming prosperity more real, and it U to be hoped more permanent than the old.”

Maine to be Captured by Ureenbaekers’ [Boston special to Cincinnati Enquirer.] The grcenbackersof Maine intend to hold the reins of government another year, and with this pur]»084 several of tbo leading green back era of the Dirigo states among them J. M. Fogg, have been in consultation with leading 'men of the same political stripe here. Davis, the republican candidate, failed to be elected by tne people for the lack of a majority as required by the law, although having a plurality over the Greenback candidate. Fogg now asserts that the present executive council of the state, which is composed almost entirely of greenbackera, has virtually the same power a? a Louisiana returning board, and can throw out the vote of any district where fraud can be proved. He and other greenbackers avow now that they can show where over thirty republican senators and representatives to the general court were elected by fraud, and, by throwing out, Ihese districts they can get a majority is both branches of the legislature aud sleet their own governor.

Tbs Indiana Governorship. [Hendricks’s Interview ia Chicago Times ] “Who will be the republican candidate for governor here next year?” “Well, if custom is obeyed, Gen. Ben Harrison, of course. He must make the sactifice in order to wipe out the defeat of 1876. IU 1868 I ran on my party-ticket for governor aud was defeated. In 1872; though 1 did not desire to make the race. I was reminded of the defeat four years before, and urged to wipe it out. There was no escape. In 1872 1 whs elected. Whether Harrison could or would repeat my example Is an unsolved problem. "Governor, who will be the democratic casdidate for the chief executive office of Indiana?” “There are several capable candidates announced. Any one of bslf a dozen named would fill the full measure of public requirement. My own impression, gained from casual observation is, that the two gentlev men mostly earnestly considered now, are lion. Franklin Landers, of Indianapolis, and Lieutenant Governor Gray.

Secretary Sherman and tha Ohia Senata. [Washington special.} Secretary Sherman declines to be a candidate or to allow the use of his name as a candidate. His position is the same as in reference to the governorship last summer. He is ■ot a candidate, and it is too early to say what he would do if the position was tendered by the unanimous vote of the republicans in the legislature. Hi* refusal to become a candidate is but a reiteration of what be has said all tbe time. lie has informally expressed himself as not desiring the position. His intimate friends say, however, that if the republicans should be unable to agree on a candidate, aud the position was tendered him with unanimity, he would accept.
