KEWTORK LITTFR.

ITtctnt Event JtTfewrt Ir. Cleretand'i TUIt to Naw York-Wbat He Tbtiik of lodiaua. New York, Feb. 10. Two wceki ago tonight I left in a blinding enow storm the city c! Indianapolis fcr the great commercial metropolis cf ths new world. These two weeks have been stirriDg and vntfal ones, both in this and the Old World. The dynamiters, the terrible battle ol General Stewart with the Arab? ia the great rifsert, the fall c! Khartoum and the unknown fate of Gen rai Gordon and bis devoted band of brare Englishmen, the threatened annihilation of thMr array In Egypt, hare stirred the tcundation stone of British raid and do minion. The attempted assassination of 0. Ross by Mrs. Pndley, the dynamite explosion in this city, the agitation ia Congress over the question of bow to put a stop to the mann facitre and improper use of that dangerous and deadly compound, and the visit to this city of Governor Cleveland, with his many callers, has added to the interest and incidenti crowded into the past two weeks. As to the dynamite scare in London, it is ntqnesticcably real, it shows how easily tha weak; may avenge tnemselves on the strong, and it may be far-reaching in its effects. It xray teach the strong and arrogant to nave irore respect for the rights of the weak. It itay, and I believe will have the effect to c aute the crowns cf the nobility to rest unteily and uncertainly ca their hadi; it has Oif.onatiatea that not ouJy in Itasiia, bat everywhere, where the hand of oppression is ra.M d, a bidden and secret ajency is ready ts f trike it down. While this kind ot warsfare i to te depricated it may reach beyond the rouirol of armies, police and Jaw. Ther is but one way to deäl with the question, and that ia allow no one to manufacture or use it without proper guards and restrictions, scd whether this can be done effectually is extremely doubtful. As to the war in Ksypt, why are the Uritarmies there? Why attempt to overran that country and subjugate the inhabitants, 'a question that tery pertinently maybe jsked. Is it because England is not satisfied with herown? Is it for pelf or gain, or is it tecause there poor, half-civiljzed people lue attempted some outrage on Kngland? It seems to me that both the war and tha humiliation is to be regretted, because uncalled for. It is said, however, that it is an ill wind that blows no one any good; if the wr in Ez7pt is to be prolonged it will have il.e effect I to start the- etream of money and u.T3tinents to this country. I hive a letter from a very ttrcug banking firm "1q London suying their "oanks are stutTjd with the money cf timid holders." If this state of a:Iaus continues these holders will soon seek: investments ia American securities. With the stream cf money once turned tn thij dirtciiou, added to the plethora of re vive Zands he'd by the bint in this ; onntry it will sa&n lift the degression from f te fhoulders cf our people, and bring ns te wonttd relief. There has never been a tiroe in the history of this or the old country a hen there was po much surploa and idle spilai 83 now. Ths signs of the times all indicate brighter and better times in tie r.ear future. There are many reajns pointii.g in this direction, not the Isast of which i a cnanze in the adminiatratiori of public Blairs. The policy of high taxation and the accnmnlation cf large sums of mony by the Government hza unquestionably teen detrimental to the public good. This policy will doubtless be changed, and only such sums taken froca the people ai ruay be necessary for an honest and economical administration of tha affairs of the Government. When ibis is done and confidence restored among the people, and that the incoming Administration will be wise and conservative, the wheels of commerce wHl roll onward and upward until prosperity and contentment will take the place o! the almost universal licontent and unrest now permeating the Tioiy politic. ROTEE CLEVELAND, the first Democratic President for twentyfour years, is a man that will commend him elt to the better and wiser men of all parties, lie looks every inch a man. Iiis conduct and his words stamp bim a statesman to be honored and trusted. When introduced to him be paid a handsome compliment to the Democracy cf Indiana. He spoke of her honored statesmen Hendricks, Voorhees and McDonald and the gallant fight made and grand victory won by the devotion and untiring efforts of her own sons. He gave ns the honor of leading the Democratic column in the great struggle of 1SS4. No Democrat In Indiana need be ashamed of the part he tcok, however humble it may have been, to place Grover Cleveland and Thomas A. Hendricks at the bead of this great Nation. The administration of public afi&irs under their guidance will be the wisest and best this country has seen for many yexs. They will, bring it back to the purer and simple methods of the fathers. Honesty, fidelity, efficiency, will be the leading characteristics of this administration, and if any ons thinks that 3Jr. Hendricks will be a cipher in the administration, they will find themselves mistaken. I know from the words and manner cf Mr. Cleveland that Mr. Hendricks commands his entire confidence aad respect, r:d his counsel will always have great weight ia determining questions of public policy. The Democratic party has reason to be Vioud ot its history, its principles and its Mateemer. They stand in the forefront )icnored and rerpected above all men and and all parties. A bright future lies before iLem. Their wisdnin, their patriotism and their devotion to the principles ot civil and ccnstitutional liberty has met the judgment and approbation of the people. Tbey have aid come up higher, and we are coming, and coming to stay. John Lee. Appellate Co art. I Communicated.! That eomething ought to be done to carry oat mere fully the spirit of Section 12, Article 1, of the Constitution cf Indiana, which provides that "Justice shall be administered freely and without purchase, completely and without denial, speedily and without delay," eeems to be conceded on all hands. It is also clear that the legislation that would have affected this object thirty years ago in Indiana will fail therein now. Much that has been said in ine Sentinel on the subject recently meets my hearty approval. There seems to be a general agreement that an intermediale C jurt of Appeals, in which the decision of all cases np to a certain arxcunt shall ba final, would afford great relief to the overburdened rendition of the Supreme Court docket. I wre e with ycur correspondent. Mr. Deaby, that the object soucht will better be accomplished by the creation of ca Appellate Ccnit in fenr cr more rnrts cf the State than by creating one Appellate Ccnrt enly to held its sessions at Indianapolis. Bat it is cot so clear that the present Commission would be preferred by the Bar cf the Stats to such a Court. It is belieYed

tbat the Bench ard Bar of tha S'atewjiM pieter the Appellate Court, eren taah it be a single one only, to a Comrnhsioa. AnyIbinethat tends to destroy or .impair tb unification of the Court of 1 report must, in the same ratio, teil t-i destroy or Impair tha harmnny cf its decision, and thereby undermine that confidence aad respect wbici ongüt and otherwise would be entertained for Ihe decisions of the Supreme Court. The Appellate Court, in either form, will greatly remedy tnis evil. Of all the evils in the administration of justice, noie is more to be dreaded and deplored thai dalay; no evil more effe tually saps the foundatioa of all confidence and respect for law and fcr courts, than that of unreasonable delay; where it arises from defects in the judicial system, it entails ruinous expense, &o that it may be said with some show of fsirnese, that tee Legislature that fails to apply the remedy is responsible tor a violation of the provision ot the Constitution above quoted, which ommands t'iem to provide for the "administration of jast'ep, freely and without purchase." While is may be justly said the Commission has done much to relieve the delay consequent upon the overcrowded condition of the Supreme Court docket, it is conceived the best remedy for that is to so legislate as to prevent that docket from baing im umbered by that vast number of causes involving sums so email and Insignificant that the contending parties ought to be content with the decisions of the trial court and the Court of Appeals thereon. Tne amount cnght to be so fixed that in tti9 future it would prevent at least two-thirds of the causes tbat now reach the .Supreme Court from ever getting there, and in addition to this the Comruission orght to l3 continued lorg enough for the Supreme Court to catchup. There are many arguments in favc r of boih s des of the question whether the Court cf Appeal should bs one or several. If we are correct in saying the new fjster ; should take out two-third of the busin- s ihat now encumbers the Saprcie Cour socket it will follow that ona Coort cf A? p ls will wholly fail to accomplish the c i ct in view. If the new system shall to re .late the appellate practice, that not more ban one-third of the number of caus33 that now encumber the Supreme Court decke: shall ever rsach there again, tha Appelate Court must havo at least threelonrtLs, if not four-fifths, as much business j as the Supreme Court now has if any appeals ar a, all allowed from the Appellate Ccurt to the Supreme Court. And witcoat such appeals within certain limits as to amount the system would be imperfect and of doubtful constitutionality. The objection tbfit cne Court of Appeals might decide the earn question diüerently from another isroqrep.ter than that one Circuit Co'irt may decide differently from another. Tha ceci&ioa of a Circuit Court i some authority nc m f aled fron), and is tome evidence of bat the law ia on tha given point. Thea, by the increased facilities, the new system wou:d afford the Supreme Court time for that careful and painstaking consideration which ought to be devoted to the establish n.eit of precedents, as well as the determination of the rights cf the parties, and would er r.tly aid tbe Appellate Cjurts in establish leg utiformityct decision. So oral argu-

nients in ths Appellate C jurta, in all cases c.9 sucgesttd by your correspondent, would greatly tend to expedite the iastr.ef8 of those couna, as well as to aid in - uniformity of deci im. Acd if o'3l argamenti are tD he aliofcd it woald be impracticabla for o:Court to bear tbem and do anything e'se. It is to bo hoped tbat a Democratic Legislature will not be 4ipcnny wise and p )und foolish" in this matter. There is no subject more imperatively demanding the attention of tha Legislature than this. And the fact th&t the demand that "justice be administered frc-eiy and without purcbas?, completely and without denial, speedily and without dp ley," is not complied with, and can not ba compiled with under existing lawa 07?ing to the great increase in wealth and population, will be a complete justification for any increased public expense resulting from tbe establishment of several Courts of Appeal. McCabe. Back Legislation. Communicated. I see there is a bill now pending in both branches of the Legislature entitled "An act to regulate tbe business of banking under the laws of this State." The bill as it cow stands is certainly eailing under a misnomer. From the readiog of its provisions ene is moved to the conclusion that it should be named "An act in favor of National Banks and to enrich certain parties." Its provisions show plainly that it is so drawn as to discriminate against private banks and bankers. In the first place, there is no urgent necessity for any action of the Legislature against the private banking institutions of this State. As a class, they are to-day sounder and under better management than the National Banks are. taking tbem as a class. The close readiDg of back history in Indiana will prove this assertion to be true. It is true in the city of Indianapolis two private banks suspended recently, but that is not a criterion for the whole fctale. While this failure of private institutions was going on it is well known, at least in banking circles, that tbe knees of certain National Bank managers were quaking, acd had the private banks and bankers called them for their deposits at that time gi eat would have been the calamity. Mismanagement creeps into all branches of business. National Banks are ailltcted with this disease alike with private banks. Then Tthy exempt them from the provisions of this act? Why compel the private bankers to pay a special tax to defray tha expense of the State for ferreting, and exempt the National Banks from the ravages ofthe ferret. Speaking of the management of ban as, it might be well for the Legislature to inform itself as to the standing and management of the eeveral National Bmks and compare themffitha liKecumbar of private bank. A pefp behind the screens of one of the National Banks in this State might disclcss tbe startllrg intelligence that within the lat year the has been compelled, through bad management, or eoxe kindred cause, to certify from her capital stock the enormous mm of $300.000, either to cover losses from bad debts or something else. In two years more, if business keeps good, she may be able to certify off the balance. Now can any private bank in Indiana be found with as good a record :i this? The c ty cf Bichmond has bad its lesson in Naticcal Banks failing &s well as private larks. Anderson has tasted of the dregs o! a failme of a National Bins. Oat of seven banks in Mad?son County, all are private institutions. There never was but one National Bank in the connty that prospered. The only failure that ever occurred in the histcry cf banks in this county ws? a National Back. Many poor orphans and widoi?3 are now suffering from the effects of that failure. State and county are lare guffererj by it. and only two years since the Iegislatnra was called upon by the citizens ot this county to relieve them o! a part of this burden. Tbe National Banks have always been a favored class. They have received favors from the National Congress that were denied all ctLers. Now ttat a cassse has takea place,

tbey fear that tbey my not be continued In uch special favo, and are consequently lookiDg forward toth Indiana Legislature It would be well for these gentry of na tional bank notoriety to keep dot. It if well known that at least a portion of them and their friends are wsrking for the passage of this bid Let the private banks remove their deposits from tbe National Banks, and let tne LiUture enforce the law compelling toe 6tat Treasurer to reaiove his deposits and there will be tech a rattlihg of the dry bones as cever wss heard in Indiana before. But laying aside all thee points, thf? b'U is in ita very nature vicioua and unwise. It a)hks tbe Auditor of State a smf Hing couimittce, uui :ur-ithee institutions entirely unt'er his control. It undertake to say tha h private banker ehall not loan his money to hia neighbor for longer than six months at a time. It undertakes to sav that he shall not secnre hi loans by a ruortie, whicn w rt cognizei by capüa iots throughout the world as th bast thei is. It undertake o Drovidt how much real estate a private banker may and may nt oj; where he shall eell it, how he fhall fell, and at what price he Ehall sell it for. It provides for a special tax imposed on one class of busine rot imposed upon any other. It provides that any parson who buys or sells a promissory note shall pay a royalty to the State. Ail of which provisions are unjust, unfair and is purely c'as legiltion in its worst form; end I do not think the Indiana Legislature can afford to p'ace itself in the position of haying enacted such a law. Madiox. Anderson, Ind., Feb. 14.

DKWARK. A Hni6fl CoUued l(tpubllcau Cllqan that Net d Looking After The Views of a Colored Democrat. Communicated. 1 A star chamber meeting was called by a half dozen defunct sslf-conatitutsd Republican leaders in the World office the ether night for the purpose o! playing the roll of "boss." This purpose was partially disguised at first, but soon uncovered by Horn Christy, etc , and others constituting themfelvee a committee to lobby the Damocraiir. Legislature in behalf of the civil right3 bill now pending. The real fact is, these political adjuncts to the defunct Republican party are no: so much interested m the civil rights ol the colored man as they are hungering for a little cheap notoriety for themselves. It i3 the same old trick to olay the roll of leadership. They will soon be out claiming to have been important factors in the civil rights legislation. They are at this time on the fence tor office, hopiag the Democratic party will pull theaa over tato a good gIFcp. For this purpose they will s.oon ce before tbe Legislature loaded Drimtull of real tor civil rights when they were asaorred before the meeting seat them oat as patriots lull of race pride ihat Dr. Taompson's Civil Bights bill had passed the Senate and would no doubt pass the House, and become a law without the intrusion of the nsalesa coaimittee. Bet this being brought about without their protetried aid did not suit their fature purpose.). All sensible colored mea know tbee Republican defnncts will have no more influence over the Democratic Legislature than the la. t change vf the moon, but they will eay.ts joon as the Civil Bights bill posses Into law, "We did it; see what great men we are." Aa we!l might the bedizened har lot paint her faded eheeks. and by simpering atffcctations asanci the character of maiden modesty, for thasa hypocri:? to be playing fast and loose with tha Dem.ocritir ratty. They are simply the hirelings of the defunct Republican leaders to manufacture campaign ttuff' to famed amcEg the colored voters next f;l These same fellows have been playing the cheap derraoue in the Ropablisan party until all hope for cfiice vanished, and no v tbey are trying to sieil the reward of the colored men who had manhood aad common tense enough to break f-om tbe oolitic-it chains with which he wrs manacled Dy the Republican party, and join thesranka of the peopleand the Democratic party. I do hope the Democrats in the Legislature will pay no attention to these S3lf constituted and needless lobbyists, but pas 3 Dr. Thompson's Civil Rights bill (as all colored Damocrats are confident they will) for the benefit of tha colored people and the glory of their own party. The Republicans passed an unconstitutional Civil Bights bill in Congress in a spirit of self-abnegation, baptised it in the the blcod of hundreds cf bloody shirt victims, acd dedicated it to tbe benefit of the colored people and the salvation of the Be publican party, and a? soon as they thought they bad the nesro'ssoul and vote, to hold him to tbe work, declared the bill null and void. Now let the Democrats how themselves more worthy the confidence and support of the colored vote by pas üng a law that will vouchsafe every civil and legal right of the citizen, and I a33ure you they will in two years have the colored voter at tbe ballot-box Eay,. "Well done, good and faitbfal; now reap the reward," I'issitasa Democratic principle, s;mp'e and pure, and pay no attention to prayers and ptitios of these selfijh political marplots, who would, to serve their own selfish end, steal the livery of Heaven. Eufl'er not yourselves to ba betrayed invo a misplaced confidenca by an insidious kiss, and thus allow these hirelings of the Republican party to ideal your thunder for the benefit of their party, and you have secured a lease of power for twenty years. The negro vote kept the Republican party in power on suc'a small things and it will do your party the same. A CoLcr.ED Dx.vocr.tT.
