TEE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL THURSDAY. APRIL 22 1875.

THURSDAY. APRIL '11. v --r Grant don't know what to do with, a rosebud, when it is presented to h;ru. Well, Uly sees, the country don't think any the less Of you on that account; it lias grown buspiclous of people that are always smelling violets. It finds the good honest whisky and totncco perlumo of yoxir breath better than heliotrope or mignonette lust now.

Another llepublican official baa com3 to judgment. This time it is Mr. Abram J. liuckles, auditor of Dalaware county. It came about in tfci3 way: When Le was a candidate for re norain at ion, the Muncie News charged him with malfeasance in office and made euch a fuss about it that he was not an available candidate, as he could not poll the granger vote, and it was feared that even Delaware county could net be cariied in that contingency. So they rait him cut. Bat public opinion demanded more than this, and indeed would be satisfied with nothing short of an investigation. A committee examined the books ot the auditor's ofUce and discovered tbat Buckles was a defaulter to the amount of about 13,00). When confronted with t be evidence of the chars?, Buckles bold and dsüant manner deseited him, and he offered to make restitution by giving up all hi tangible property, amounting to some 1.2,000. This the county refused to accept, and instituted proceedings to recover the lull amount. The details of the whole transaction appear in full in another column. The reports that come in regarding the effects of the freeze on th9 fruit interest aie -altogether disbeaitening. It seems that there is little chance to hope for any crop ?.t all in this region, ot apples, pears, cherries, peaches or berries. Probably tho strawberries will give part of a crop, and a few of the late varieties of applo trees mav yet bear fruit. The freeza was quite exceptional for the date. At Terre Haute tho mercury marked ten degrees above zero. In Hendricks county a steam boiler, in which water was carelessly left, was ruined by the expansion cf ice formed within it, and Mr. W. II. Kasan, of Clayton, secretary of the Horticultural Society, states that ice was formed in a barrel of water at his place, two rnd one-half inches in thickness by actual measurement. Such freezing as' that ends all controversy about fruit, and the croakors have really some foundation for their muttering. But, there will be a sort of compensation alter all. The fruit bearing trees will have a year ot rest which will result in a renewed vigor and growth for good crops hereafter. There are also palliations. Times are not a3 they used to bo. A failure in one section doe3 not imply destitution there. The canning business and ready communication of freights insures to all sections the luxuries of every other. It ia bad for our horns fruit raisers, but this is a part of the business which they are supposed to reckon on before engaging in it. It is well known that the greatest barrier to sheep raising in the West is the danger of loss by sheep-killing dogs. In some sections this evil amounts to a prohibition almost. Every year statistics are published showing incredible damages from this cause, amouuting to hundreds of thousands, of not millions of dollars. Various remedies are proposed, and legislation Is invoked to interfere in this, as almost all other evils and outrages. An excessively stringent bill was Offered last winter in the Indiana legislature on the subject, although it Jailed to obtain general support. It is ea3j enough to show that the destruction of sheep by dogs in a single year is greater than the value of all the dog3 in the country. But it doe3 not follow from this fact that the dog race can be exterminated aa a measure of economy. No right minded man would wish that to be done if it were possible. It has been proposed to tax them out of existence, but this, toe, is impracticable, ior it is notorious that the worthless animals are the very ones which escape taxation altogether. Men will keep dogs. As long as the human race exists these companionable creatures will stay with them, and they ought to. The periodical raids against them on various pretexts, especially that of summer madness, ara cruei and unworthy of humanity, because of the indiscriminate destruction of the righteous and the wicked, a thing that is altogether unscriptaral. There is but one legitimate way of abating the mischief wrought by vicfous oars, and that will require time and persistent effort. It is to improve th racs. As a measure of defense against the destruction of .aheep, this matter is important, beyond the additional value which would be given to the animal lor its own sake, and there is as much reason for giving attention to the .matter as tor improving the breeds ot ßheep, hogs and cattle. Well-bred dog9 rarely destroy sheep. It is usually only those which are really worthless for service to the farmer or herdsman, which do that sort of mischiaf. Well-bred pointer dogs have been known to kill sheep, but they are of a class that can easily be taken care ot, being bept -only by sportsmen, as a rule. The coach nnd shepherd dogs, the latter being the only animal which the farmer wants, and many other useful breeds are not mbject to this habit. The particular object of this article is to call attention to the ubject by farmers' organizations, and especially the managers of Agricultural fairs. It Is not presumed that trifling and tvorthless men can be suddenly elevated in their notions.ani induced to keep dogs more intelligent and respectable than themselves. Tha mean man 6eein9 to prefer dogs of character similar to hU own, and a good mtny of them. S'.ill, these things go by the manufacture of sentiment, by fashion, and by popular Impulse. Why should not this animal of the farm, the only domestic animal which has been wholly neglected, receive the same cultivation ea poultry and pigs? Would it not pay as well to stimulate Ihe improvement of dogs, if thereby

the 6heep interest could le relieved Ot It principal discouragement? Is there

I any other plan that promises so weil as ten for effecting a permanent cure of the evil complained Of? This may be slow and only partial in its results ior a time, bat it is certainly work in the right direction; it is practical and encumbered by no objections. Offer premiums and tsako public exhibitions of the best biooded an J best trained dogs at tho lair, call attention to the importance of the mat:er and educate the people as well as the dogs in regard to this mobt &a,:acious. faithful aud valuable ani mal. The second and main part of the annual report of the State Board of Agriculture was issued Monday and will be duly dis tributd bv the secretary to the coun ties of the state. The volume is no a large one, t9 pages, the object of the secretary being to con dense the information worthy of preser vation rather than to inflate a large volume with indltlarent matter, or with materUl which had no business in the report, how ever good it rnigbt be. In one repoet the report lulfills its legitimate purpose. It presents in compact and permanent form, for reference, the organized operations of the agricultural and industrial societies of the state for the year 1874. The history of the State Hoard for the vear. the state fair and exposition, the Furda9 University, the county fairs and societies, the shorthorn breeders' convention, and the essays cn agricultural topica presented at the annual mealing constitute the body of the report, and are a laithfnl racord of the iarui inter ests as publicly presented in the state Ther Are a few tables of interest and value, especially one showing the re CeiptS of all the state fairs, beginning with tbat of 1Sj2. Four stata fairs were held away from the capital in the cities of Lafayolt?, Madison, New Al banv and Fort Wavne. In 1S01, when the harvest ot death was substituted for the harvests of the farm, and men were far away from their homes and hearths, Indiana held no state fair, and but few county fairs. From that time, especially since the war was over the success of the fairs has been a constantly ascending scale. The last two years have far surpassed all others, showing receipts of $50.000 ia round numbers against lees thau 0,000 at the first fair. In respect to the agricultural statistics of the state, and a reflex of the status cf farming in Indiana, the report falls short of what it might bo desirable to the state to give in this form. It is the less cf a good opportunity to represent abroad the truth in regard to the resources of Indiana. It there is a failure here, it is not the fault ot the secretary, and probably not wholly of the society, but ot the legislature, which has thus far failed to take such action as is necessary to supply the information. Statistics can not be obtained wiihout the requirement of law or the free expenditure of money. As it is, neither the returns to the state auditor nor of the county societies fur nish anything like full and accurate statistics, such as would be of immense value in the agricultural report which is the pro per place for their presentation. With this exception the report contains such information as will be ot permanent value in a very presentable form. Secretary Heron has taken the utmost pains to make it accurate, and to give the most information possible in the least space. The indi vidual report cf each officer and committae of tho exposition i3 given showing the financial results of that enterprise. The prospect for the next exposition and fair is far more flattering than at the corresponding dato ia either cf tho preceding two years. Centennial odors already begin to be watted upon the breeze. The supreme event which marks the hundredth birthday of the nation is yat more than a twelvemonth in the future. But the preliminary events which led ta the grand climax of independent nationality are some of them scarcely of secondary intere?t. It is sometimes the case that tbe opening act ot a play thrills and elevates by the first stroke of its novelty or brilliance, quite as much as the grander heights of play and passion to wbich the spectator has been led by gradual approaches. The attack on Fort Sumter and the surrender of that pile of brick was a comparatively trivial affair, but it is not possible to make it so appear to the American eye. It awoke such a thrill as can never be forgotten. So the first battle of the revolution, which took piack at Lexington and along tbe old Concord road just 100 years ago to-morrow, is ever regarded as only second in dramatic and historical interest to the act of independence itself. The anniversary really begins today, as on the afternoon of the 16th of April the British red coats marched out from Cambridge on the road towards Concord, haughty and contemptuous of tbe unmilitary colonists. On the 19th the minnte men, with their smooth bore muskets and flint locks, scantily f urnished with ammunition, the bullets for deadly use having in some instances been cast during the night from pewter kitchen utensils, began to gather on tbe flanks of the royal troops and to fire into their ranks from fence corners, rocks aud stumps, making the traveling extremely disagreeable. The partial success of the day in driving the Britishers back Into Boston with loss and vexatious defeat, was the keynote of success. It demonstrated that these renowned professional warriors were not invincible, tbat a hole made in them by a pewter bullet, had a fatal effect on them tbe same as on other mortals, and tbat uniformed soldiers would run rather than b killed. Such an elevation of fighting courage was probably never before developed in one day's work. But the history is familiar. The Boston people do not let the memorable event pass unnoted. Their centennial is to be celebrated with becoming ceremonies to-morrow. To give due significance to the occasion the great general of the last war and president of the independent nation has gone down to the "Hub" with the most of his cabinet. They go to-night over the historic road, to be ready for the celebration at

Tfcere will cf roUitary glitter and circumstaoco ojite in contrast with the c qtiinmcnts of tha earn eat and brave rustic who inidd the place and the day memorablo a century ao. 'f ha Boston Globe one day Uit week gave En interesting statement of the points ot special interest, and th landmarks which yet remain as witness of tho first battle of blood of the revolution. Ssveral eld buildings stand as they did on April 11, 1773. One is mentioned, the old Munroe Tavern at Lex ington, in wbich the regularsoa their return dispirited and chagrined, drank up tbe liquors and then shot tne old man Raymond, who kept the house, dead. A bullet hole is still shown in the coiling, supposed to have been made by a random or accidental discharge Of a gun. Along this remarkable old road, and amid these birth scenes of a free republic many noted men have established themselves, families who nernetuate from their ancestors the the odor of tbe revolutionary patriotism which is presumed :o be of a little finer qual ity than any ever developed before or since in human bosoms. Mr. Ralph Waldo Jm erscn. grandson of the Ksv. William Emer son. holds Lis o uic t castle in one cf t he old monumental building of centennial dig nity. Tho Hawthorne, Alcott aud Ripley residencea aro objects of interest still preserved. The very places will be marked and pointed out where tho troojw were disposed and such portions f the tight as were worthy tho name of battlo took place. It is not unlikely that the proceedings of the next twelve months will cause a lively brushing up by j oung Atnericaof his knowl edge of these and th9 related events down to July 4, 1770. Ihe celebration to take placo to-morrow may be regarded as the opening of the centennial anniversary ob servance1?, which will go on until tbecrowniDg display aud ceremonies of next year at Philadelphia. It was a very whimsical procedure on the part of the centennial committee to invite Gladstone to be present at the celebration at Lexington and Concord, and the ex-pre-mier'a letter in answer to the embarrassing invitation is a rather curicuä one. The fol lowins clause contains tbe germ of tho most pernicious part of his policy, judged from a British stand-point: We can hardly b expected to rate very highly the inoiives of those other powers who threw their weight into the other scale, and who so sensibly contribute d towards n-celerating, if not indeed towards determining, the coarse of the war. Yet, for one, I ciui most truly Fay that whatever the motives, ana nowever paimui me process, they, wnlleseekins? to an an injury, con l'erred upon us a gieat. benefit by releasing us from efforts, the continuation oi which would have been an unmixed evil. That the revolution was a blessing to mankind, is a self-evident fact, but just how it was a benefit to Great Britain, it is difficult to understand, and only one who believas in the weak and short sighted col onial policy of Gladstone can appreciate it. The strength of the British Empire lies in the vast system on which the sun never sets the head and heart of which is in the Brit ish Inlands. Gladstone contemplated sev ering oil one limb after anotner in the most cold blooded fash ion. He regarded tho colon.es as nuisances', involving more trouble than the care of them was worth. To such a statesman the severance of tho thirteen col onies which have grown to a nation of 40,000,000 might seem a fortunata affair, but lew Knglishmen will fail to think with Edmund Burke, that the British empire would have b9en a far more goodly structure if it had remained intact. The Cincinnati Gazette annouuees that Delano is about to retire from the interior department. The Gazatto calls with petitionary vehemence for the appointment in his place of some man who will give strength and character to the cabinet. Th9 Commercial has nothing about Delano, but disposes of Williams in a Washington dispatch. It would be, perhaps, asking too much to hope that both rumors are founded on fact. PERSONAL AND POLITIC L. Byard, of the Brooklyn Argu?, is author ity for the announcement that Mark Twain bears a striking resemblance to r. 1. moui ton, the mutual friend in the blot of the "Pastor s l'renicament," a popular play now on the boards in the Brooklyn varieties. Woodley, the colored capitalist, attends the trial every day, and has by this time attaiued that exalted education calculated to qualify him to receive from Mrs. Woodbuil that instruction in free love that 1 e testified 6he volunteered to bestow upon him. Grant's wages per day, including Sunday, isjust?137 07. Why should such an overworked and poorly paid patriot be required to "purchase tickets before entering the cars?" That's tbe question that every lover of his country should carefully consider and conscieLtiously decide for himself. Bonner has quit boasting about his horse, and is now interested in the African heathen. That is to say he has reduced the subscription price of tbe Ledger to a dollar and a quarter a year, for their benefit, ?nd gives ech one of them a chrotno lithographic representation ot nest hiding in the amaranthine bowers of Brooklyn. Miss Clara Morris lately acted in a new piece entitled "Marguerite," adopted for her by Mr. Barton Hill, of San Francisco, from a Freuen original. The scene is 1m id in Saxony. The beroine is a wife who is first damaged by adultery, and subsequently struck and blinded by ligLtninsr. That's the way of the world, but it isn't usual lor Providence to persecute a poor, defenceless and deserted female that way. Senator Morton is an eminent statesman of the republican party. He baa been tbe a jostle of oppression and revenge. He has championed every infamy or usurpation in the South tbat called itself a government.

The Sentinel has already published tho fact that the presidential party was required to produce tickets at New York bef jre entering the cars en routa to B)ston. The New York Sun gives the details and other scenes and incident of the trio: The president and family breakfasted privately yesterday. Vice president Wilaoa joined t!ie party after breakfast, and soon afterwards presented Messrs.

CoI.'Iiackett alighted first, and having assisted the president to alight, drew his ami through bis own and marched straight for the n trance to the cars. Tho hundreds cf persons in the depot turned th..ir eyes at 1 nee toward Col. Hackett and his convov "There's tbe president," was passed from mouth to mouth with tiectric rapidity. Tne two elbowed thtir way through tbe throna aud reached the railing around tbe door of entranco in the cars. A doorruaster stood there punching the ticket. To him Col. Hackett waved his hand loftily, saying, "the president." "The president of the United StatesPresident Grant," Col. Hackett repeated, pointing to that individual, whosa eyes and faco up to this time had been as ex prefsIonless as ever. " I can't help who you are. You can't pass through this gte without showing your ticket." frLI the doormasler dutifully, bat with rr.ckv lirmDess ot tone and manner.

The corners of the presinet tial mouth öw' down at this unexpected obstacle. il' eves Hashed as he turned to bis fidus Actr-ues. His lipa moved and uttered the solitary word, ' Damn." It would renuro pasto describe tho intensitv of bUternes-i " w.n which thkt tingle Wilkesouian svllubie was uttered. It spoke of wounded d eaitv. of disappointed avarice, and last, bai not lease, of consciousness of beleg in a most ludicrous fix. His features were imorturbable, but the situation was taken in by every ore, and their audible titter and amused glances snowed how keenly most of ire travelers enjoyed the ioke ot trap ping the collossal deadhead. Vice president wüson, who had been ebowinz his wav with isTCor Robeson's arm in his own iust to the rear of the president, was ke9nly alive 10 tnesaameruiness 01 tne situation, with a hasty glance h saw how it was to end, and so he dropped back far enough fo be out of the focus of eyes. Even Secor Robeson's rubicund visaxe grew redder, and be looked as though he would have stood something handsome to be a mile away from there. This was the Dictnro that a hasty glance around the depot building revealed. But the president stood it with a calm visage. As before reported, he EJACULATED "DAMN!" Then atter a low seconds' pause lie hissed Into Hackett's ear, "What's to be done?" That re&ourcoful individual pulled a rueful countenance, and said, "I guesj there's nothing for it but to pay." Buttoned tight on to the ve-st pocket in which Col. Hackett carried his money, was bis military coat, and over that was a belt, from which dangled his sword and side arms. He could not reach his purse, and this unwelcome fact im pressed itself upon the presidential mind so disagreeably that be lit up his countenance with another withering glance and shot it at tbe doormaster. It was useless, and be saw it. With a hasty movement his hand went down into hi3 breeches pocket, and came out clasping a little wallet. A hundred dollar bank note was fished out and thrust into Hackett's hand. The two then vacated the passage, and tbe gorge of blocked travellers with tickets were given opportunity to enter the cars. The president "stood off to one side, and Secor Robeson approached him with comforting words. Woether the service was acceptably performed was not indicated by the august lace, the features whereof were set in their old immovable, self concentrated stony stare. Gen. Belanap tcoagbt he'd try to fix things, and acting upoutheold Baw, "Moasses catches more flies than vinegar," approached Cerebus with silken tone: "The tickets are being bought. Surely you can have no objection to permitting tae president to seat himnelf in the cars?" The doormaster glanced at the towering form of Col. llatckctl, who was buying the tickets, thought a moment, and then said, politely: "I presume no lault could be found with me ior permitting mat." "lie says we can go into the cars without waiting for tickets," the secretary of war said in pleased tones to the president. "Well, we won't do it," THE EXECUTIVE REPLIED, WITH SURLY POSITIVENESS. By this time Col. Hackett had returned with the tickets. " I'll stand here and check you off as you go through," skid be to the president, at the same t siting a position alongside the doormaster. " Do nothing of the sort. Give a ticket to each one," President Grant commanded, in a voice sharp with unapneased anger. So the president, Secretary Robeson, and Gen. Belknap were furnished with tickets, and tbe former presented his to the doormaster with a suavity of manner.that was evidently intended to be lull of penchant sä :ire. A glance at the tickets showed tbat tne fertile brain ot Col. Hackett bad not failed him in the great emergency of getting to Concord without paying out money. Tbe train and the party were to go to Boston without change of cars. Nevertheless the wily colonel had bought tickets as far as Sprlogue'.d only. In the train was Mr. Bishop, president of the road, and he made elaborate explanation, but they were coldly re ceived. The president paid little attention to his companion, and treated the pilgrimage very much as though it were a per sonal trip of his own wbich had been antici pated by some far-sighted people in LiexingtoD, who had fired a round oi musketry in honor of it, .and by some more people in Concord, who had spilled a little blood in connection with the musketry. Before he had ridden 20 miles he had smoked out of the car Into ether quarters two or three la-

In Bridgeport, too, thegazjof the people was studiously avoided by the president, first by half covering his face with bis hand, then by turnirg to hi Geo.

"i don't know anybodv in Galena," wasche surly reply; "I only lived taero eieven mouths before the war." TIIK GREAT MAN WAS OCT OF HUMOR and clearly showed It by scarcely acknowl edging the cheers which were given again a the irstance of the spontaneous Jewell. As the train started Grant reentered the car and sat mtodily listening to lh outpourings of the poet. Childs, A.

Here an addi tional delegation from the governor and le" lsllttire ( I Massachusetts ei tered th car with an elaborate lunch and a knot of per vants. At the same time the train rolled from tri6 tracks of the sordid New York New Haven railroad to tb(M of tho Boston cc Albany, and onco more the presidential party was ueaaneading i:s way to it lotion's biithplacV.

At the conclusion of the lunch the president pinned in his buiton hole flowers, and when ho went out on tho platform of the car in Worcester an obtuse citizen pressed to the front and offered to him a single roseoud with a few green leaves. At first he declined to receive it, Eointing to his existing floral decorstions, ut he at length accepted it, and holding it in tho same hand with HALF SMOKED CIGAR, he thrust tbe other hand into his pocket and waited for tbe train to move. He stood bo on the platform without a thought on his face or a bit of consciousness in bis look, until the cars were far out of the city. Then with a snddeu start be looked about him and hurried within. In Worcester a round ot cheers, the only cheers on tbe whole days trip, except Jewell's in Hartford, was giveu him, but it came at a late moment when the noise of tbe departing wheelsalmost drowned it. In Boston a squad of police protected a passageway from the cars to the carriages, but the gathering numbered only two or three hundred. There was no cbeer sent up, no formal word of wolcome, but Col. Hackett resumed his 6word, wbich he had carelessly taken on the journey, and once more appeared in full uniform, making all the pageantry there was in the reception. The party went at once to the Revere House, in wbich at 7 o'clock Gov. Gusion and staff entertained them at dinner. Tbe table was laid for fortv plates, and was superbly decorated with flowers. Large floral baskets stood about tbe room or hung from the ceil ing, and a large bouquet was at each guest's hand. The wall3 were elaborately draped with the national colors. The dinner was informal. No speeches were delivered. About 9 o'clock tne party went to the Globe Theater to see Mrs. Rousby. Tbe president's box was appropriately trimmed. Tomorrow visits are to be made to the postoffice, the legislature, the governor, and, perhaps, to the university. In the evening the president is to be entertained by the Commercial Club, and later he will go on to Concord, where he is to pass Sunday and a part of Monday. On Monday evening he will attend the ball in Lexington, after which HE WILL DEAD-HEAD BACK to Springfield, whence be will pay his tare to New York. Col. F. A. Conklinj is in Boston, on bis way to Concord as delegate from the New York Chamber of Commerce, but he is not with the presidential party. The Washington correspondent of the Sun has this to say ot the trip and the ticket episomeof tbe occasion: Some of the sr-rewd politicians of the republican persuasion have an object in view in sending President Grant to tbe celebration ot the centennial of the battles cf Lexington and Concord. They trust and hope that under the holy influences of this memorable occasion he may be inspired with a new zeal for American "liberty; that tuesacrea sentiments wmcn this centennial celebration will arouse in every patriotic heart will also touch a responsive chord in Grant's bosom, and that be may there, on tbe spot on which American freedom was born, discard forever any thoughts he may have had ot a third term. It is certain that an effort will be made to induce Grant to absolve himself from the third term scheme.
