THE INDIANA STATK SENTINEL TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13. 1874.

If he de aired t visit any of he ex1 ie.ue Wes'ern Stat-p, arrargf nients could be made to pre vent his getting lynched on account of the "black." The second monthly summary cf the trade and couoineic-of this city appears this af ernenn in an extra ed tion of Grecno's Price Current. On the Mx'.b naze of (he Sentinel large extracts from Its figures and ded actions will be found, the same having beeu kindly furnished in advance. That the author's exertions to prepare ibis exhibit -should be appreciated and sustained need hardly be fctated. Tbe compilations have been prepared with care and accuracy which give them a permanent value for future companions, and as a showing of business at this point, they far excel all gen oral statements. Dueling is allowed in the Prussian army under certain conditions. No meeting can take place until a number of officers const! taiing what is called a court of honor, decide whether a sufficient ground for fighting exhts or not. It is clear that no duels will take place under this provision f r trivial or unworthy causes, and it is prob tble that the officers of tie courtof honor will often bring about reconciliation in cases tha', taking tbe ordinary course, would have resulted In bloodshed. Tbe danger is, that all moral reprobation being removed, the spirit of dueling will become too common, and in the course ot time the decisions of the au tborized court will become overridden by passionate antagonist. The action of (be Prussian court in sanctioning the duello under any circumstaoces will be generally condemned, but really it has only licensed what, in the great military svsteoi of Ger many, can cot be pronibited. Tbe sin, if there be any, is in maintaining professional soldiers; for it is one of tbi marks of a pro Alston 1 soldier throughout the world that he will dafend "the honor o! the service" Bhou'd occasion require such action at his hands. Tbe independent movement in South Carolina seems to be a formidable one. It is a bona fide republican movement, although it must depend for its support almost entirely upon tbe democrats ot tbe state. Tbe candidate for governor is a native of South Carolina, who has attained distinction as a lawyer. He failed to take part in the re bellion on account, it Is alleged, of ill-health, but, probably, because bis sympathies were with tbe Union. Martin R. Delaney, the candidate for lieutenant governor, is a much more remarkable character. lie is the son of a free woman by a slave father, and was born in Virginia in 1812. Iiis father some time after bis marriage purchased his freedom and removed to Chamberaburg, Pa. Yourg Delaney succeeded in gaining a pood education and began the study of medicine, which he afterwards pursued at intervals, being interrupted by various circumstance In 1841 he publi-hsd a wf ekly newspaper in Pittsburg, and in 1S47 be entered into pirtnertip with FioJ.

Tbe Itesnll. Tbe result of the election in this state is no longer doubtful, and every moment the prospects are rowing brighter. It is now probable that tbe democratic victory in In diana will be even more brilliant than that In Ohio. Tbe sluggish and uncertain way in which returns arrive render it impossible to give tho official figures or even dollnite results. Tue probabilities may bo s!ated, however.with all tte cctCdecco of a prediction fiom the war department s to fair weather, and with more likelihood ot the fulfillment of the prophecy. Tbe whole democratic stato ticket is undoubtedly elected by a majority tf over 15,000. This figure is so! by Judge McD; nak chairman of tbe democratic central committee. Tbe estimate is a moderate one, and the Sentinel can cot see why it should cot b" set at a bisher figure. In regard to tbe congressional representation it would seem that the two parties will change poti.iots. tho democrats Lavir.g at leatas strong a delegation in the next Cocrt.'S as the republicans Lave in ILls.

L. Evans, republican, is preu'ed to be elected. In tbe T e f h dis trict there is no doubt about tbe choice of A. II. Hamilton, democrat, bya large majority. In the Tnirteenth district tbe election ot J 1. Biker, republican, may be set down as probable. These estimates can be summed up as giving the fctate nice democratic and four republican congressmen; but of ftcial returns may possibly change tbe face of tbe field If so, tbe chances are good to make a still better showing. Consid ering the difficulties to encounter in tbe shape of the Morton gerrymander, such a victory may be pronounced as beyond the expectations even of the men who won it. The legislature Is considered as under the absolute control of neither party and tbe balance of power ia conceded to the Inde pendents. Particulars are not vi attainable. 1 he scandalous manner in which the republicans districted tbe fctate after tbe last election probably saves them irom complete defeat. The county ticket for Marion county has hared the general good fortune, and, although exact figures can not yet ba given tbe wbole democratic county ticket ia with out doubt elected. aMJjr Muatclilnic. The telegraph brings an account of a start ling out rage committed at Buffalo on Wednesday uigbt. It eeems that a newly made grave in Holy Cross Cemetery was found on Thursday morning lying open with thr corpse mining and the grave clothes and fragmen'sof thecoflin scattered beside the desecrated burial place. As tbe body ot a wo man bad just been laid with reverent affec tion in tbe grave to await the final resurrection and the tears shed at ber funeral were hardly wiped away, tbe snatching of the corpse seemed an act of inhuman cruelty. Tbe reckless and wanton brutality with which tbe dee ocration was made public, when it might have been concealed, so that tbe friends o' the dead woman would never tealize what had happened, naturally added to the popuar icdignatiou. Prompt measung were taken, and the officers, procuring a search warrant, proceeded to tbe Buffalo Medical College, where they found tbirty-nine students engaged in disecUng, and inthedifcectingrootn were laid out five bodies.amoii ihem thuof Mis. Kifbard J. Carey, whose grave had been violated on the previon night. The students were brought to the police court and gave their parole t ppear to answer for the charge of lndy snatching. Tho community alwajs looked wiih a lit 1 1 suspW ion on tbo collg?; bui that uspic'on id iiow kindled to liioi nation. In couinctitirg upe n s ich an occurrence as this, it h useless to argue tint dead bodieare but dust, and that it is Le ter for tl:e:i to be used fur the purposes ot science than t rot In the ground. Ids of no avail to insrst that th resurrection is as cay lor the frag ments that bave been severed under tbe dis secting koife, as for tbe atoms that bave turned to clay. Human nature will cot be argued down by any auch consideration. The love and reverence for the dead seem rooted in our being, and even though these sntiments be proven to our reason to be supers i if)us weaknesses, we are not e tbe less anxious to cherish them. Se'. aside tbe idea of religious respect for the b dy as t be aternacle of the soul, and there is ana'ural affect ion for tho "deser ed boue," evensf.tr the teuant has gone away. As fir back awo can g i in literature the sams Ifcüi j; meets u.

Of course the common notion that medical s udents have anything to do with body snatchinsf themsslves, except by wsyof a drunken frolic, is a ml -.taken one. Collegf s am supplied with "subjects" by a professional resurrectionist, and students begin their term with a full supply of ma terial on hand without any knowledge of where it comes from. The Buffalo institu tion must be badly managed to permit of such a desperate act of desecration as that described in the telegraph, as subjects even now can generally be secured from large cities without body snatchioz. The law of tbe State of New York considers body snatching a state prison otfdnse, out the Buffalo studeuts will probably escape with a light punishment as they are merely ac cessories after the fac:. If some sort of a 1 s-oo could be given them, however, to make th"m treat tbe corpses which th-y carve op with a little more consideration it wonld b) well. The antics which are I layed with tbe dead in a dissecting room are grotesquely horrible. To be sure the subject" Uli no tales, and sympathy seemwasted on them since they know not the ii dignities they have to undergo.

The defeat in Ohio and Indiana is cer tainly the greatest disaster that the.repub ican party has yet encountered. Amid the bustle and confusion consequent upon the receipt of returns, which takes place in In diana the second night after election, it i difficult to pause and consider the full meaning of this democratic victory; but a few hasty words on the subject may not be out of place. The result of tbe state election in Indiana sdue in the first place to tbe excellent character of the ticket put in tbe field and to tbe vigor and enthusiasm with which the candidates threw themselves into tbe can vass. Their personal etforts deserved and, n a great measure, won success. Tbev equaled their opponents in character and surpassed them in energy. Another powerful influence at work was the active assistance given by tbe leaders ol the party not directly interested in tbe corteat. Governor Hendricks, Judge Mc Donald, the Hon. J. B. Ryan and otheis tlung themselves heartily into the field at a time when the issue teemed doubtful, and id gallant service. The platform cf the democracy, the Senti nel has maintained from th beginning, was. i'i some respects, a miserable blundf r, and here h to reason now to change that df cii n. Tho repudiation resolution is not su ained by any respectable politician in thf -tat9 or country 'xcept the author of it and evtoii Pendleton bims If has sei the real of Irs condemnation upon the t cresy t which be gao popularity. As fat -isii flation is concerned, tbe parths mad l oi'suo in their declaration of principle, both ol ttem advocating tbe congressional control of the currency and the manufactnie f unlimited amounts of it. But Hendricks, McDonald and Kerr boldly reasserted the time-honored financial principles of tbe leu ocracy, and fought it out on that line, v that tbe bard money party may claim a nsrtlal success. In Hate matters tbe nperiorUv of the democratic p'atform told -ffVctuaHv, and the declarations in favor of cmoniy in s'ate government and in ftvor f a licenss law were especially influential n.es and of the paitv egainst sumptuary eis'a iou secured tin alliance of tbefitrman, to whom a bhare ot tbo honor tf vljiorv is duo.

Th revolution in Louisiana threw this recont ruction question into prominence, . and under the lea lersbip of Morton the republicans rushed in otho flagging canvass with the expectation of rarring everything before them in th cuie of tyranny. The democracy of Indiana did not flinch but met i hem squarely on their favoilte isu and triumphed.

Since the safe return of tbe Austrian ex pedition has brought tbe subject of Arctic explorations once more before tbe public several propositions have been made looking to further Investigations in the land of ice and snow. Alter the undigested manner of the dally press several flippant paragraphtsis nave atamissea me suggestion witn ailusions to polar perils, the failure ot former expeditions and what they call their utter uelessness. But a field which has produced glory for adventurous knights under all flags, from the time when Erik the Red discovered Greenland in the tenth century to the time when Sir R. L. McClure voy aged through tbe northwest passage in the ninteentb, deserves better treatment than to be made to point a moral in a tu'penny newspaper. The nseiutness of future jour neys to tbe frozn rone depends upon tbe taste and fancv of the individual as much a ever did the spelling of Mr. Welter's name. It is hardly probible that any discoveries in the regions where Franklin, Rack, Rich-ard-on, Ross and the rest won their spurs. will affect tbe price ot wheat or provide a market lor the gimcracka of Yankee land. OntheothQr band, it is not always gala to make predictions as to what will be and what will not be discovered. Searchers for for 1 Dorado and tbe Fouutaia of Youth were doomed to disappointment, but they found treasuros almost as Valuable as those they sought. Moreover, the sciences dove tail into each other in a wonderful manner. and Sir Jaras Ross's discovery of the mag netic pole in 1829 and the botanical and geo logical investigations ot McClintock's party in 1S5S may yet be found to supply a valu able link in the chain. But if knowledge iof value independent of its relation to bread and butter. if things are worth knowing for the mere sake of knowinir them, then investigations which will add to our stock of w formation concerning tbe surface of tbe ßloba are alwavs worth makinir. At m rate the discovery of the north pole is just as likely to increase human happiness as the finding of the Nile's source, or the evolution from some one'a inner consciousness of the correct manner in which to souaretbecircle. Every ship returning from tbe north nabroucht moreor less novel intelligence, and has added to the stora of facts already gathered, so tbat however unsuccesful in tbe objec's directly sought, ther-i 1, in a broad I senc, no such word as fail In the vocabulary I of Arctic explorers. It miht be added that Grea Britsin sets great store by the e en-terpri-es ai a training eohiol for sailers In tiui'S ot peace, and certainly tbey bave proved a source ol fame and promotion to those win have taken part in them. It i I urious to notice tbe successive stageof rack held by tbee inoderi vikincs. Tlala . midshipmen.

But tbe greatest misapprehension prevail In regard to the perils of polar navigation.

Letting Eight through Hays. It is clear from the stress laid upon tbe 5D?therll'?.t86" by ?! refubUc" 1 tlcians, that they expect to gain great parti Kan advantages from proving that they bave reduced a large portion of tbe country to a state of anarchy. Tbe Sentinel has been inclined to allow tbeai tbe discredit of every crime committed in tbe South. In the Inter ests of truth, however, it is just as well that no ficticious outrages should be invented and palmed off upon the Northern people. 'I he condition of things in tbe reconstructed states ia bai enough, and there is no use in making it out worse than the sad reality. There are confusion and murder enough within the sta'esof tbe late confederacy to cause every true Americin kto blush for hi government, but ic is a great folly to exag gerate misfortunes, kin.-? sure to bring pernicious results, and where it is nsed to give one part of a nation distorted opinions of the people of another section it is apt to be doubly injurious. Therefore, tbe manufacture of Southern outrages ouAht to be discountenanced, as well for the honor of the ninth commandment as for the sake of sound political iuformatio n. In this view the Sentirel has taken very aec,aea Brouaa ,u conuemnauon or tDat malicious nar, tne non. unanes uays, con Kressman from Alabama.

From a Washington letter to the Cincinnati Gazette Is Uken this bit of gossip: The one redeeming sott pot in Gen. Butler's life ia his love for his only daughter, Blanche, now the wife of Gov. Ames, of Mississippi. The general, every one acknowledge, is fearfully ugly, and bis wife, vbo was an actress years ago, is equally plain. How from tbi8union such au exquisite, dainty, lovable maiden as Blanche Batler could have sprung will always remain wrapped among the mysteries. I very well remember hearing the praises whicn were sung at her dehnt She was educated at tbe Georgetown Convent, and alter her graduation, tbv made a protested appearance in the gy society of tbe capital.

I saw her first at some morniLg reception, as tbe uewlymarried bride ol Senator Arno, and I followed in the wake ot her footsteps like tne enchanted with her gentleness and b?auty. She wore a beavy silk exiling suit, of two rare shades of blue; ermine fars, and white, nncut velvet bat trimmed wiih long, mactful ostrich plumes. As she came in front tbe winter sform raging wl hout. I thought tbat a lovely embodiment of tbe Spirit ot tbe Snow" she looked! Everybody love d gentle B ancbe Butter, even those who bated her father the most; and I hear that ia her Southern borne ehe wins tbe same affection from all. no matter what nolitical trrounda tbey stand on. A DARK DEED. NEGROES LYNCH kd) BT KEG ROES NOT Ä WHITE MAN IN THE AFFAIR. A special to the Courier-Journal of October 9, from Holly Spring, Miss., furnishes food for republican thought: Oa last Tuesday morning, at sunrise, three negroes confined in jail overpowered tbe guard and escaped. mrcmg vurec oiu r negroes to go with them. Mack Hi 1. begro. on-of tho guard, waa brutally beaten, and died at 4 oVI k in the aliernoon. All tbe prisoners were recaptured in an Lour or two.

The Courier-Journal has a speeitl from Lexii'g'on, Ky., concerning another outrage und r novel c'rcu instances: Another negro Ivu-Ivlux repoit from tha com try reacLcs hero.
