"0;.ea the books" and "turn the rascals Out!" It is understood in Washington that President levfand Indicated to both Carlisle and Rad da 11 oa their visits that it would be Try embuTassing to him to hare to call an extra e-slon of Congre33 immediate!? after coming iuto office, and suggested that it would bs a great sati fiction to him to have the work of Congress pushed along in each a way that he would bs relieved from any necessity of euch action. Dr. Cimkles McDouoai l, ranking as Brigadier General In the regular army, and now on the retired list, has had the honorary degree of Doctor of Medicine conferred upon aim by the Medical College of IndiaDa. The iloctor is an uncle of our fellow townsman, Dr. Joha M. Dunlap. The conferring of the decree is a creditable honor worthily bestowed. Exor,iND fcas another sensation. Khartoum has fallen and General Gordon either killed or a prisoner. This brief intelligence indicates grave disaster to the English forces ia Egypt. Tbe excitement in London and throughout Great Britain is intense. Intelligence from the seat of war will be anxiously looked for until something more definite is ascertained. Gosh! ' The Cu'cao Tribune bases serious editorial comment regarding Mr Cleveland and prominent Democrats upon special telegrams from its Albany correspondent. We have had occasioa to notice this correspondent' romantic gyrations for some weeks, and we solemnly assert that he can cram more false statements into a hundred lines than Gsth," Eli Perkins and the Jawbawker combined. Ye! give him the Ananias red ribbon, Mr. Committeexn in. Tiir crgans continue to whine against the turning out of Republican place-holders. 'These, occupants have been withdrawn from the ordinary employments of life and are now unfitted to return," is the peal of the organs. Well, we have said for years that these occupants were being retained too long. They have been spoiled. But then let it be remembered that when the Republican party came into power it did not stop to inquire, before displacing Democrats, whether the latter were ' unfitted to return" to the 4;ordinary employments of life." Of course Senator Foulke, in h a niscellaneous "alashinga around," gts his foot in his mouth. Among other wild statements recently made in the Sanate, he asserted that Hon. Frank Landers bad indorred paper to the nxount of $'Q .000 for the State Treasurer. Mr. Landers coralled the wild and impetuous rural rooster long enough yesterday to prove tohioi that he was all wrong. The gos!p of the curb-stone makes poor material for grave and s,exious armament in the Senate Chamber. A Hartford, Conn., special of tha Ith says: A lively breeze pnn up in tbe Connecticut J'oue of Kepreeatulvei t'ii afternoon over a p-cpojilttoa to appropriate 3127 far the repiir of a r).t'urd Confederate 'Aig, watch Utj t3 ioturned t itie Fou.th Mississippi Keatmoat. The p-tsea Ut;on H to be by the veteran oi the Ninth ConTurticat Ilesiment, who captured th3 iA, aad l-ere was no oppoiit5cm. There should have been "a breeze'' over such a proposition. "Repairing" a battle liig would just abaat destroy all the value there is in it. Why not "repair" all the ruins of the 0d Worli? It might make them more attractive to dudhh folks. IT IS UNTRUE. From the Cincinnati Eaquirer of yesterday we clip the following paragraph, which was part of a rpecial from its Indianapolis correspondent: The ent!nel. editorially, has been clamoria lor a Investigation of Mr. Cyopvr aJtin tar Ttral days, at tia's vabementlj. and la a manner inrpnsins. as there were inaicuion of a perfcucal animus in tr-e raaier.

The rinid cnverl:a of ilr. srrocraaker into the ne?ciiy of an iuTvtUation is isld to have foUoweJ. Tha Sentinel has editorially, counseled an Investigation of the Treasury. Hut every leader of the Sentinel, other than the Enquirer correspondent, will pronounce untrue the atatsmtat that it "haj been clamor j Mere she paused and a sudaen revulsion

'rig at times Tehemenily," or that "there were indications ef a personal animus in the matter." M. Sbcemiker'i eitimate of Mr. C0Dr's obeerrance of truthful statement aad honorable condact forbids the belief that Mr. o?per could nay e made the atateaieat attributed to him, as in letter aad implication, if . vnli-ve.

THE QSANT FUND. For the benefit of the dissuasion over tbe proposal to retire General Grant on a General's pay it may be as well to read what Mr. John T. Ferry, one of the trustees of the Grant fund of 2G0,0C0, has co fay. It will be remembered that this fand was invested In Wabash bond3, oa which the estate of ex-Governor E D. Morgan is hell to a guarantee of interest to the expiration of tea years from Mr. Morgan's contract. Mr. Ferry on being asked to Rive a true statement of the condition of the fund said: "The Wabish bonds at present pay an Interest of something over G per cent, aad are valaaole. Their value in a few years will increase, and the investment is by no meaaa uncertain. There is not a Morgan heir that knows anything about the Grant fund, or even in what bonds the money has been placed. Furthermore, the guarantee of Governor Morgm has six years to run instead of three. By the time the guarantee has expired, the bjnda will b3 wo:t i & good deal o! money." Six per cent on 2VJ,0)0 amoUDti to $1".GOO a year, or $1 "Jju per noath. or ill iG per day. It dos appear that evei a distinguished man might live cn that sum pretty comfortabiv. There is many a gillant soldier, still suffering from wiunds received in battle, who would deem General Grant's moathiy income a big one per year for the babLce of his life. IDLE BUSINESS. The Spriogüeld (Mass ) Rspublicn indulges in a very healthy toae reirding the President-elect, which is in marked contrast with the false, coarse and sometime vulvar criticisms of the ultra Blaine organs. Tha Republican says: "The effort to complicata simple things falls heavily upon some jDurnaliits, but there is no reason why fie pcple should be drawn into this Idle business. Mr. Cleveland is becoming acquainted with the recognized lealers of his party, asking them lots of questions abant each other, sizing them up individually, and maturing in his own mind a policy for the inclining Admmittratioa. Many newspapers and obsarvers suggest that he is endeavoring to advance the business of Congress by urging Messrs. Randall and Carlisle to a more intelligent party policy. This is not probable, and the tender of euch advice would be unlike the man. He has a habit of mindicg his own business very closely, and there is plenty of that for him to look after. The amount of real information afloat as to the details of Mr. Cleveland's plans is small in deed. His general purposes are good that istbeveidict of all candid pilgrims to Albany and beyond that the President-elect will advance in his own time. Just now he occupies the position of an attentive student." There are several correspondents of the ultra Blaine papers located in Albany, Washington and New York who have been engaged in telegraphing the most improbable and reckless ctatements regarding Mr. Cleveland his probable Cabinet, his policy, Iiis vtewe and those of prominent Democrats. Many of these statements have been frequently of late stripped of their falsity, and should serve as a warning in the future to accept much bf the information that comes from the sources indicated only after frequent and undoubted confirmation. APPELLATE COURT. A very imrortant duty up?n the present Legislature is that of providing for the disposal of C8803 appealed from the Circuit Courts. The Supreme Court Commission must be continued by a 1 tw to that ellect, or a new court or courts created. The commission wa3 never intended to be permanent. It was a temporary expedient resulting from an imperative necessity. It has done its work as well as could be expected, and is not deserving of adverse criticism. Judge IIebeart, of Evansvile, in a recent communication to the Journal of his city, correctly States that a large majority of tbe ablest lawyers of the .Slate believe it to be unconstitutional. Governor Gray, in his iaaujural addres, takes substantially the same position, and on this ground alone it would seem the Legislature would decline to continue it for a longer period. Before the opinions of tbe commission become effective they are read before the Supreme Court This, I am informed, requires about one day each week, or one-Plxth of the time of the Court, which is aa additional reason for the discontinuance of the commission. What, then, should the General Acsemb'y do? Should it adjourn without n aking any provision on this subject? If so, the calendar of the Court will again show such an accumulation of causes as to overburden it and seriously prejudice litigants, who have a legal and moral right to an early determination of their causes. Is it not a plain duty of the Legislature to institute a perrraiient ys!em, to establish one or more courts to meet the necessity? Senator Weir, cf Laporte, has a bill intended to meet the emergenry. It creates a Court of Appeals. A large number of causes are designated which go from the Circuit Court directly to this Court. It relieves the higher tribunal of nearly half its labor. It will not be so expensive as to continue the commission, and will give opportunity for a speedy determination of causes on appeal. Oral argument can be heard, which will tend to expedite decisions. The Sapreme Judges have now too much work. If the State will give them a chance to proceed with greater deliberation it will increase the value of their decisions. Divide their labor with another tribunal, and this opportunity is preseatei Senator Weir's ! unexpected treasure.' aad running toward I

bill is the ram: in substance, with a single "xcptioD, as Hon bill No. 37t Introduced by Will Prozer, of Kosciusko County, in the House last wintar. Ilia bill provided that Jaigfa should be elected by districts, this by the State. As to practice and proceicre and jurisdiction it is the same. To crta'e three courts of three Judges each, to a.fet in diüerer.t parts of the 8tate, might bexpenslve. For the present one court w uld meet the emergency, and more could Le created if badness increases aad the necessity arises her?afttr. The subject in all its bearings is one worthy of the serious and early consideration cf the Legislature, It comes in importance to the public next to the specific and general appropriations, and not many days of the session are left In which to mature a measure and act upon It.

STARTLING CHARGES. There have been for some time past rumors aflcat in Washington City charging gross corrupt lEansement of the Interior Department. Tn opportunities for fraud are greater in this department, perhaps, than in any othtr. The entire public domain i3 under i's charge. Millions are disbarred through the hands of its officials ia the Indian Bureau. It has been commonly reported tnat Mr. Teller was using the enormous reourc! of this great department to advaace hi own fortunes. Senator Hill Charta tt at drfeat wai secnrcl in the Colorado Lrg's!.t'ure by the zroattt corruption. Tlie Washington orre&pGndsnt of the 'iiirro Irionre (r.I:r-n'aine Republican o.-pcu) telegraphs tha details of the chsree ;;amt Secretary Teller. Heayt: "Tüere haa b'.en developed within tbe hst twenty-f jur boms ornthins v?ry fpscif c. Senator Hill introduced io-day (Wednesday the 1th a resolution which, while very innocent on its face, is supported by two very remaikable letters. If the charges in these letters are true Mr. Teller thould be impeached. Mr. Hill's resolution calls for two oüicial report which, it is alleged, have been suppressed by Mr. Teller. Some time apo great land frauds were reported in New Mexico. It was charged that fully tD p cent, of the land interests in that Territory w ere fraudulent. The Commissioner of the Land Oflica detailed Uo of his most faithful special agents to make an investigation of the charges. They made exhauitiye reports and reported that the charges were true. They reported alsj that the persons guilty of the frauds shjuld be criminally prosecuted. Senator Hill called upon the Commissioner of the Land Ofllce for these reports." The Commis;sioner said in reply that Sacretary Teller had never returned them. Senator Hill promptly introduced in the Senate the following: Resolved, That te Secretary of the Interior be dirtcud to iurmsh to the Senate copies ol the repom of F. B. Hobbsanrt A. K. (Jreeo, Inspectors of the General Land Uilice, on the subject of tne fraudulent acquisition of titles to lands In Sew Mexico, and of all testimony accompanying the KH.!e, and also copies of all papers on öle ia the iudian Department relative to this subject. Senator Hill bases his resolution upon charges made in a letter written by it. W. Webb, of the Las Vegas Gazette, who says: Though at first reluctant to believe that a person occupying o exalted and responsible a pokitlon as that of Secretary of the Interior would chcoe to retain in cilice and personally protect weli-kiiovn and stif-convlcted land thieves and Mciiderers. 1 am now free to confess that ia the lulu of recent erents there are rery strong airountis for such belief. Mr. Tell;: has had before Lin for some months the reports and testimony attaining: them of Mem. f. B. IJosbs an 1 J. K. (ireon, Icspector of the General Land Othce. who have investigated tne land frandtof 1Mb dihtrict fully and of the southern dlstrh-t partially, and to my certain knowledge not only lecoinmended toe Immediate diRtnlsal of certain orruct crUcial, but also that criminal proceedings be at ouce insrituted against them. Webb says that Teller has ignored these reports and has retained the oüicers in place, and that his personal friends are interested in various land schemes of doubtful repute. It is authoritatively stated by the General L3nd Oüica that !0 per cent. I of the land entries of New Mexico are fraudulent. ALL WRÜNU ctAlN. Sa'd a physician who eocs out a great deal taoi.p the poor to a uporter yesterdv: "Tne Joun al i oa the iuht tract in this Township t ::jtee order busiues.

There is positively no excuio for the fiequent wild and irresponsible statements made by the Journal respecting th9 management of the Township Trostee'a otU:e. It never has been so satisfactorily avstsmitizad in its every department as atpressnt. Mr. Kitz has no pet grocer to whom he sens hi orders. His arrangements for the supplies of the poor of the township ara maie with seve i or eight merchants Some one of taeäa must be named in each order, or, he claints, that if blank orders were fclven they would be frequently traded off for money, or, perhaps, whisky, and the very parties who should most be benefited would never be reacted. The Journal's inspiration yesterday came from 4la phys'cian." He finds fault with the "coal delivery syslem connected with the Township Trustee's olSce." A little inquiry would have gicen him all the information necessary on th's piint, and if there ig any faulty delivtry system he can very readily locate it The sources of the coal and wood supplies are all in the hands of the Republican Board of County Commissioners. They make the contract with the coal dealer, and Mr. Kitz is obliged to confine his orders to the party selected by the County Commissioners. The Township Trustee has no choice. He is forced to get his fui wherever the Commissioners order him. Now if there is any difpot it'on on the part of the Journal and this "phyeician" to gnt at the truth of "the rosl delivery systm," let them give the Re publican Hoard of County Commiesionera a turning over.

I10051INO KLOOMINQTON. A Citizen or That Town Takes Bob Roj'i Letter to Tatk. Bloomixgto.v, Ind., Jan. 30. Please allow me space to correct a wrong impression made by Rob Roy's letter in yesterday's 8entinel. Bioomingtoa is not retrograding, bat, on the contrary, the advancement she has mads within the past ten years Is remarkable, when her advantages are considered. Those who have not visited our city for ten years would now scarcely know the place. Within that time the scene on and around the Public Square has been entirely transformed. Within that time twenty-one new aad handsome business houses have been erected and some improvement has been made in rear y all the old business houses. Daring that time all the public buildings ha7e been remodeled and improved, which furnishes quarters for the beet equipped st?am fire department of any town of the size in the State. In 1833 ?lfM),t(K) was soeit in new buildings, and ia 1S31 $12V-00 was f pent for the same purpose. For this yeir contracts have already been lei for SeVtr-1 very handsome residencss and busi-n--houses. Tne lare tract known as D;i n's addition, had bat a vry few hou3 on it four year3 ajo. Now it entirely buiiC up, and additional lots have been aicpd to be sold at double ths former price. Not a more liberal and social people than tte citizens cf Bioomingtoa will ba found sn where. A strong moral sentiaient preva'le iu the community. No licensss ty retail liquor are granted. We have eleven church; s to a population of 3.00) people. Tn Methodist Church and the ne Christian Csurch, to be dedicated next Sunday by Elder Van Busiirk, ara very handsoaie and costly buildings. We have to diily fast express trains between Louisville and Chicago, and two daily mails from all points, not one mail, as litb Eliy s letter said. The to new college buildinzs stand as a monuniat of the liberality and devotion the people of B'.oomington and Monroe County havd to the Staus Uutversify. For over fifty years this qraud old institution has been in their hands. Thev have fostered it throng! all it3 trials aad raversfe, and now tht th? day of its Kraat?3t triumph ia near, our people ask only that aid that is just and proper, and oir pride sb1! be the pride of the grand old Commonwealth of Indiana. H. J. l. Krvouuo Collector. lCommunicated.l Among the men in Indiana who deserve recognition from the next administration, who contributed in an eminent degree to the ovorthrow of radicalism and corruptgoyernment, none are more worthy than our distingaished fellow-citizen. II. B. Lmgea felter. The Democrats of Hendricks County are unanimous in desiring to see him justly rewarded. His services were coQsnicuous in the late campaign. Wherever the political battle raged the fiercest there Mr. Lingenfelier could be found. His money and time were given unstintingly to the cause of Den cciacy,and the largely reduced Republican majority is due to his influence and labor. He is popular with all parties, and In a race for County Treasurer a few years ago, came within eeventy-seven votes of overcoming the immense Republican majority of this county. He is a thorough business man, possessing every qualification necessary to faithfully discharge the duties of any position that mav be tendered him. The D?raooracy of Hecdricks County will ask and use every erlort to secure his appointment as Collector of the Sixth District. Hesdeicks County. Danville, Ind., Feb. T. A Slander Refuted.

Hesajsontwo consecutive evenings he attended secret mettincs of the dynaruners in Chambers etrept. Dressed in green, the password, "Ireland and Freedom," opered to him the doors of the hail, which was under ground. Oyer L"0 persons were present. Oaly the Chairman aad other -facets of the meeting were masked. But each speaker as he aro'ie put on a mask. The first evening was spent in making speeches, all tending to celebrate the grana victory won in London. Oa the following fcvtniog the dynamiters explained their r.ljts regarding Canada. Among those present the detective recognized a wellknown resident of this city. It was finally deeded to send delegates to Canada to eatablish branches. A few days after his retcrn to this city the detective dijeoverfd the meeting place of the plotters in an old saloon a few miles from Montreal.

KQARTOU31 FALLES.

Concluded from flrit race. now is Metemneh. The press messages from the Soudan are greatly retarded. Several newspapers made applications to the War Office for peranita to communicate instructions to correspondents, but have all received tbe reply that General Wolseiey has sde anthority'in the matter. Liberal and Conservative papers generally express the opinion that the sole responsibility for the fll of Khartoum rests with the Ministry, who refused to allow the relief expedition to start in time. The Conservatives intend to raise the question of confidence in the Ministry as soon as Parliament reassembles. Orders have been dispatched to Woo! wich to immediately prepare to send a month's latiocs and S.OOu men for the Khartoum exptdition. lOMIOXllYXAMITE SEWS. ISftrton, Cuuniughaiu's Supp Jeil ConrederHte, Examined nt ItowStreet Polle Court. Lonpon, Feb. 5. Tne mysterious prisoner arrested Tuesday evening In White Caapel with Cunningham's miesing brown box in his possession, was to-day arraigned in Bow Street Police Court. He was formally charged with complicity ia causing the explosion at the Tower. The prisoner gave the came of Harry Barton, said he was twenty-six years of tgs, and by occupation a cabin tmaker. H is five fiett nir inches tall, fair complexion, Muder ligcre. wears a light mnbtache aad bt-sru auu looks lik an Aoiericin. tin managed to bsüle a'l efforts of the po-li'-fc? to tfcke hü photograph. When tan into court Burton presented a naant ap-p-araLea and seemed keenly alive to his unfortunate position. The examination wa3 brieriy confined to t-tirü the prisoner's statement concerning his identity and the reading of the charge against him, and he was then hurried back to Clerkenwell Prison, after being formally lemanded for fuither bearing. It was difficult to obtiin a close and accurate description of Burton during his brief presence in the Bow Street Polles Court today, owing to his restlessness and his efforts to "avoid scrutiny. His hat was a tall felt and he wort) a black coat. His entire apptarance is distinctively American. Burton's skia is fair, beard aad mustache thin and lipht, figure slender aad cheek bones hirh; hischeefcs are hollow and nosa aquiline He speaka with a strong Yankes a:ctn'. Vnen ariested there was found in his peefcets one five-pound note, one pound tin shillings in gold coin and a shilling in silver, besidee a great number ot papers. When Cabmsn Crosby was on the stand to day Burton explained the witness' statement tLat he aid not see the prisoner at the Prescott street house when he procured the Drown trunk, by saying he gjt tbe trunk from behind a ra'lins in front of thehoure. He also withdrew his denial of having given the cabman a cigar by saying he ave him one at the public house, and not at the beginning of the journey. The story told oy Constable Jarvis, who effected Burton's arrest, was the most material to the prosecution. Jarvis went oa Tuesday last to Tamer's Road and eaw tha prisoner. Jaryis a3ked him if he was the man who had removed tbe brown trunk from tbe Prescott street lodjjin28 a fortnight before. Horton answered "Yes; I bought it for eight shillings from a man in that street, and took it home. I don't know the man, and bave never eeen him since. I came from America at Christmas. We came aboard the Oregon and stopped at Liverpool over Dight. and came to London next day, which was Christmas Day. I have bten in England before. I was here iast April. I returned to America ia Ssptembtr." When Jarvis asked him what his trade was Burton replied that it was a cabinetmaker. He did not hesitate to produce the brown trunk, and when he had exhibited it he was placed under arrest and at once informed that he wa3 1o be charged as being an accomplice of Cunningham in the recent djnaniite explosions. The prisoner on being asked by Judge Ingham if the statements made by Constable Jarvis were true, replied they were, and was thereupon remanded until Monday night. The conduct of the police convinces the public that Barton, at the time of his capture, was engaged in furthering other dycamile plots, of which the exolosionsat the Home of Commons and the Tower were but a beginning. The arrest is believed to have averted great disasters. Dyuauititti (uareM. Paris, Feb T The Figaro, in an article On the coming congress of dynamiters, to bs held in Paris, says the formal opening oi the congress will take place on th? H'JJ of February. Eleven delegates will attend, and of these six will be from America. Seven delegates, the Figaro says, ara already in Paris, and these have commenced their labors. The meeting will discuss the utility of explosions by dynamite in auling the Irish cause and the question of the unity of the dynamite party with the Fenians. The Figaro adds that the congress will also bring up for discussion and decision the question as to whether or not the members of the English House of Commons who voted lor the crimes act should be pxecuted. Importaut conference. London, Feb. 5. An important conference was held this afternoon between Officials of the Police, Treasnary and Home Departments, and the Inspector ol Scotland Yard. It is believed the conference wa3 in relation to the recent dyraraite crimes, and that another important arrest is imruinant. Congratulatory Ieiage.
