THjß INDIANA STATE SENTINEL.SWEDNESDAY DECEMBER 29.1875.

Indiana, but who, before be left, wa compelled to disgorge some seventeen thousand dollars of money stolen lrom tbe people. It was In sach a school aa this tbat oar postmaster received his education in political morals, and the wonder is tbat no greater cloud has rested upon bla office than the one now overshadowing It. To have a coaple of bis brothers indicted one for purloining letters and the other for corruptly sbariDg the profits of a government contract, is bad enough, but not so bad but that it might be worse. Yet he must reflect upon the many sins be has committed under the inspiration of the bad man who sits in the Senate chamber at Washingcoo, and conclude that his present troubles have

come across his pathway as a reminder that lostice tbouzh slow is sure. As be has made his bed, so he must 11 in it. Oar Senators and their Resolutions. In the coming political contest it is more than probable tbat matters of practical In tore at will enlist the attention of the people to a greater extent than abstract propositions concerning the the ones of government. It will not appear wise for the people of this country to make a desperate fight over the relation of the federal to the state governments, while the rights of the people under both are being abused by the spirit of plunder. It would not be wise for a crew to be quarreling over the course of a ship while the bold is filling with water. This is about the political situation at present, and the ship of state needs most of all to have the pumps manned and toe decks cleared. But since our Indiana senators have thought it proper to Introduce the subject of state and federal relations in the Senate, and the press seems disposed to discuss the questions involved, we bave evidence that this matter of the relation of the states to the federal union is not a dead issue, and that the people of the states are not indifferent to the subject. The very nature of oar government, it would ceem, would decide at once the general soundness ol Mr. McDonald's propositions. There has been same progress In theories of governments in a hundred years, and there bave been some amendments of the original contract since the original charter of rights was ceded by the states. The very iact that these changes have taken place by the concession and approval of the states, and coald not become a part and parcel of the federal consultation without such concession, is prima facie evidence, without more argument, tbat there are yet reserved rights that belong to sovereign state?. It was by the ratification of the states that the constitution was adopted and given lorce. though its preamble Bets forth its ordination by "We, the people of the United States." The plain meaning cf the letter of the constitution itself can bear no other construction than that the federal government possesses no sovereign powers not conceded by the states. Bat while these truths seem to be plain, yet the continual assumption of powers by the federal organism, which bave been tacitly admitted, has given strength to ideas of centralization and a unity in sovereign power, while only a union of powers is contemplated under the constitution. OI course, an organic instrument drawn up by the bands of men could not be perfect, and hence there ha arisen this controversy of reserved rights veatei in the states and not conceded to the united power. Some of these differences have been defined by amendment stating in positive terms what congress shall not do. Among these, the amendment prohibiting the establishment of a national religion by law is one. Other differences have been settlf d by the sword, as the power of secession. If the spirit of centralization continues to increase es it has apparently done under Republican administration, then this question will soon become the vital issue belore the people, and the question will become one of revolution. If, however, the conservative view on this subject prevails, we may bave another hundred rears of national existence of a union of sovereign states. 91 or ton and his Relatives. The departure for Washington of a prominent government official the night after the indictments against the Hollo ways were published ha? given rise to the idea now freely spoken of. tbat Senator Morton will interfere to save his brothers-la-law from the consequences that ceem impending, tnd that measures will be taken to prevent conviction under the indictments. It would be asking mors than haman nature coald be expected to yield, to require of Senator Morton that he should make no effort to save those re'ated to him. Yet he occupies a position before the country at the present time, and before this community In particular, that renders Interference npon bis part very dangerous to bis future influence. He occupies ach a position teal either course of action will compromise him. Mr. Morton.has bestowed this, -the highest, gilt of federal offices at his command upon his own household. He has done this against the protest of many of the best and leading members of his own party. They have stood by him in tlaoes past; they bave battled for his pro motion; they bare yielded to hiä dictation; they have become sabservient to his wishes so long tbat be has at length Ignored them. They have, . while adhering . still to their party, been forced into a silent and gloomy acquies cence in his fall sway. Now, tbat this disgrace ba overtaken him, they will very carefally watch his movements, and at the proper time they will doubtle-s strike a blow that will break bis power aud free them froaa his domination. There seems to be a sort of poetic justice in these misfortunes that have overtakes Mr. Grant and Mr. Morton just at the time when they were seeking the favor and confidence of the American people. Bat they bave no body to blaine bat themselves. Their own acts bave brought them this disgrace. Grant fcas turned away better men to bestow favors upon the Casejs, the Corbins, the Baboocks, the McDonalds, relations and bosom friends, and it he baa not teea part

ner In their rascaiities. he tas to

partake in their sbsme. Hundreds of the hading .Republicans in the state will r.os sympathise In Mr. Morton's back sat. They are in no way responsible for it, and they Co not wish the arty to shire the opprobrium of the disgraceful acts of h'.s relations. Whichever way he turns he is involved In painful ombarraseinent. lie well knows what would be the effect upon the party, if he lnterleres to secure the entering of a nolle prosequi, aa was done before when another of tbo officials of the same office was detected in defalcation, and with the facts In the case as already made public, it will be dangerous to let matters take their course. Conviction, acquittal, and nonprosecution are all alike far Mr. Morton, The public disgrace already attached to him, and nothing short ot his asking the resignation of all bis relations connected with the postofflce, would, In any degree, enable him to regain what he has lost in this postoffice trouble, if even that would. The public will watch with interest this whole affair, and it will be seen whether Mr. Morton does favor a civil service of honesty, or if he strives to cover np wrong doing. The United Mates 4 rand Jnry It is rumored upon the streets that the grand jury of the United States Court will adjourn to-morrow, and it is more than probable that the result ot its deliberations will be made public. "Witnesses yesterdsy gave testimony concerning the internal workings of the office that shows a condition of things tbat must awaken the deepest concern in those charged with the manage ment of the poatofflce. We have no doubt that tte grand jury has made as fall and complete investigations of the case, as far as they bave gone, as they could. Tbey bave been charged by the Jonrnal with being "dead bent" upon finding a law to warrant the Indictment of certain parties connected with tbe poetoffice. This reflection la no doubt unfounded, bat as far as tbe Sentinel has been in.'ormed they have been "dead bent" on getting to the bottom of affairs, and they will no doubt make up an Impartial decision regardless of tbe criticism of the Journal. Tbe Sentinel disclaims here any prejudice in the ncaUer against the accrued The scandal connected with the postoface has continued for several yeats. There have been various damaging rumors afloat from time to time, and it fcai been believed by many that corrupt practices prevailed therein. It Is, therefore, time the matter was put to rest. Tbe grand jury 'a attention was called to the facts, and tbey have, in pursuit of their sworn duty, called witnesses before them. Their conclusion will be made known before tbey adjourn. If there has been developed no fraudulent practices we shall rejoice In it. If, on tbe other hand, indictments are found, we hope that tbey may be punished according to law. Polit ical odium will attach to the guilty and their friends who have sustained them, and this can not be helped, nor is it desirable to help it. Tbe better class of tbe Republican party in tbe city will approve, as well as all good citizens, tbe punishment of the guilty. The PostofBce Slitter the Snperlntcndent Indicted. Tbe result of tbe grand Jury investiga tions bave closed, and one ot tbe results arrived at is the indictment which will be found in another column of the Sentinel to-day. It is a serious charge, and inasmuch us these alleged ' facts have been known for months, It is singular that the party Implicated has been retained in the employ of the government until the law lays its hand upon him. This investigation develops another case of corruption among office holders, and a very lair ßbowiog up is being made all over tbe country of Mr. Morton's "best civil service in the world." One of the very worst signs of the decay of a government is tbat -its officials, charged with official trust, shall make their positions a stepping stone to fraudulently obtain gain from the government or from the people. No government can stand long when its own administrators commence pillaging it. Tbe wretched system that has obtained under tbe personal reign of Mr. Grant, where cliques andriDgs apportion out tbe offices, without regard to qualification, honesty or the will of the party even, to say nothing of the people at large, is calculated to produce just such a condition of things as may be seen all over the land. II ow long must this continue? Will the people s'and by quietly, and for tbe sake ot mere party permit sach things to be? We believe not. The loud cry from tbe people for an bonester administration means something, and tbe ides of next November will demonstrate it. The Auditor's Report. In another column of the Sentinel this morning will bo fonnd an abstract of tbe report just presented to Got. Hendricks by State Auditor Henderson. The features of it, so far as matters looking to reform are concerned, la very similar to tbe suggestion submitted by Treasurer Shaw. The various funds are so classified that their present condition is made plain by an exhibition of the receipts and disbursements of each fund, the total of balances making the amount of cash in tbe treasury. Previously the cash in the treasury has been treated as a whole, without any reference to tbe different funds to which It belonged. This xeport exhibits clearly tbe amount in each and the booka opened in 1876 will be so kept that at the closj of each month the published transactions of tbe month will show the conditions of tbe various trast funds of the Btate, so that errors heretofore fallen into by former officers can ba detected at the close of any month and corrected. This is a great step toward reform and will receive the hearty indorsement of every tax payer of Indiana. Another interesting feature of the report Is tb'o chapter on tbe origin and history of the various trust fund, pointing out how these bave suffered Jossas in the past, which have caused great labor and research among the records of the täte offices.

BATHED IN BLOOD,

OR THE BUTCHER'S STORY. A REPUTED NEW CURE VOR PARALYSIS HOW A SYLPH-LIKK BAN FRISCAJt TRIED THE RECIPE. The Virginia City Enterprise evolves this 'About a year ago a curious thing happened here," yesterday remarked a robust and rosy-cheeked butcher, whom we had been complimenting on his fresh and healthy ap pearance. "I know," continued our butcher acquaintance, "that, as a rule, mea engaged in my business erjoy good health, and have a fresh, res j look; but whether dabbling in blood and breathing and absorbing tbe fumes and vapors arltiog from fresh meats bas anything to do with this, as you appear to believe, I ran not say; neither nave I ever seen any blood drinking:, either by butchers or others. But, as I bave said, a very curious circumstance occurred here about a year ag. I generally work in tbe market so I must get my red cheeks through what I absorb from tbe meats I bandle bat about a year ago one or our batchers took sick, and I filled his place in the slaughter-house for about six weeks. I had not been in tbe slaughter-house long until one afternoon about 2 o'clock oar time to begin killing a carriage drove op. Two ladies abghted; one known to me as the wife of tbe superintendent of one of our leading Comstock mines, and the other a young lady from San Fiancisco, as I atterward learned. I saw, almost as soon as the ladies arrived, that tbe younger one HAD NO USB OF EES RIGHT ARM. It wis so completely paralyzed that she was obliged to move it about with her left hand. I observed that when she wanted to pat her dead band into her muff she was obliged to reach through with her left, get hold of tbe hand and then draw it to where she wanted it, jost as though It had been a kein of yarn. Well, it appears there had been some understanding about tbe young lady coming there, but what she did not a little surprised some of us tbe fiisi day she came. The ladies stood looking on while we hauled up a bullock and knocked blm on the bead. No sooner had the knife been withdrawn from tbe animal's throat than tie young lady suddenly threw off tbe large mantle that she wore, aid, rushing forward, sat down upon the floor just at tbe bullock's neck, where a torrent of blood was gushing. She ben bared ber right arm and thrust it to the shoulder into tbe gaping and blood-spouting throat of tbe animal, bolriiDg it tbere uutil tbe blood bad ceased to flow. We were then kllliDg about tbirly animals every afternoon, and every day regularly the girl came and thrust her dead arm into tbe bleed Ins: throat ot one or more ot tlem. Tbat girl had great courage, aud was not one of your over-nice kind, lean tell you. She hai a coarse dress of some heavy wooled stuff tbat she wore for the purpose, and when the bullock fell, and tbe knile bad done its work, she at once ran up and . SEATED HERSELF ON THE FLOOR, ai regardless of the blood as if it bad been so much water. There she would hang across the neck of the beast until it ceased to bleed. She was so brave that we were all glad when she got well. I remember how bappy 8he was when she came one day and showed us that she could begin to open and close ber fingers. From that time forward she improved rapidly. Soon ehe could move her arm, and finally could grasp atid lift things with her hand. I think she came for about three weeks before she was cured. The last day she came she was quite bright and merry mure so than I had ever seen ber. After putting on ber mantle she thanked us all for our kindness to her and shook hands with us, giving us tbe cured hand, which, as she laughingly said, we had "some right to." We all felt a great interest in ter, but never saw her again. I never learned her name. All I know is that ste came here from San Francisco. I suppose 1 might hava found out who she was by asking Mr. , but I didn't know but I ni ght be cons deret' Impertinent. I don't know whether tbe cure proved permanent. Alter the young la Jy went away we thought wesbould see many persons tbere to try tbe blood bath, but none bave ever come. That girl was the only one, and I never saw anything like it before or since. THE STATE AT LARGE. The prisoners in the Brazil lock-up escaped to the number of balf a dozen, Saturiay morning, xuey receivsu aia irow outside parties, ani succeeded in making a way our. The enclosure is anything but secure. Tbey selected a holiday for the trial, as is usual with prlsoneis. From our Franklin correspondent we learn that the Baptist and Christian churches ;ave entertainments for the benefit of their unaay schools. The Presbyterians gave a linner and supper at the chapel of their iow church tor tbe benefit of tbe celebrated 'pipe organ" tbat is to be. Tbe inmates of the Vigo county jail made a bold break for liberty yesterday, but, after stabbing Reuben Shepard, they failed to connect with the air ot freedom, and now tbe ringleaders contemplate the uncertainties of liberty in a free country, in thejsolltude of their cheerless cells. Last Friday a forged note to the amount of 173 was passed npon A. L. Whltcomb, a Clinton merchant, by one Newton, who had recently returned from California, and who has relatives ir. Clinton. The note was drawn upon a Mrs. Brown, a Quaker lady ol Parke county. lie was captured in Terre Haute, upon being identified by citizens ol Clinton, who chanced to bo In town. E vacs ville Journal: Avery sad affair occurred at Princeton on last Friday. A man by the name of James Williams, living a few miles In the country, came to town with axe handles to sell. He drank too ireely and became intoxicated, and about 5 o'clock in tbe afternoon got into a tight with a young man whose name is David Williams, and lives in tbat place. In tbe encounter tbe young man took an axe handle from tbe other and struck him such a furious blow that tbe injury was fatal, and he died at 10 o'clock tbe same night from the effects ot the wound. The parties were both of the same name but not related. Tbe deceased was a man in middle life, while the perpetrator ot tbe deed is only about 21 years of age, . This is another one oi tbe sad, yet legitimate, fruits of tbe liquor traffic, unpleasant to bear but true to tell, and very mortifying to our better class of citizens. The deceased leaves a wife and several help less cnuaren. Terre Haute Jonrnal: During his last trip to the Indiana Southern Asylum for the light flngured, Sheriff Carlco made tLe teur of the prison, and among the rest saw and spoke to Rudiler. He has not been out of his slx-by-four cell for four months, and wears heavy chalks on bis legs. Mr. Carlco wished to ttst the man to see if he had weakened, and suggested tbat if be would not be so desperat to escape his punish ment would not be male so hard. But the fellow flushed up at once, and from bis manner implitcL tbat be would try it again tbe moment he could do so. He seems in good health, notwithstanding bis olose connnement.

Tbe Sentinel's Franklin correspondent writes under date of yesterday as follows: Yesterday afternoon this place was visited by another of thoss severe hurricanes that have been such a terror to this town since the great damage resulting frcm such a visitation several years ago, and for a short time the greatest excitement and contusion prevailed, but fortunately no lives were lost though many made narrow escapes. The principal damage done was to tbe Union Hall building and the drug store of B.C. Wood. Tbe tolrd floor of tbe former building was occupied by the. Union Sunday Sccool at tbe time the wind struck and removed the root and for a time toe wildest confusion prevailed. Tbe children made a rush for the stairway, and no doubt many would have been injured but lor one ot tbe teachers securing the door thus effectively, preventing a stampede: The roof of Wood's drug store, including ratter and sheeting, was carried some seventy yards and tell within a few feet of a spring wagon occupied by a family. A number ot chimneys were blown off, and the roots of several dwelling bouses were partially removed, and a number ot outbuildings were slightly injured. Tbe Newcastle Courier contains the following particulars of the death of Mr. Jabez S. He dion, recently reported in the Sentinel but briefly. Jabez S. Hodson, a wellknown and highly respocted citizen of Splceland township, came to bis death last Saturday under very distressing circumstances. Mr. Hodson bad lately bought a lot or fine cattle belonging to tbe herd of tbe late Gen. Meredith, and among others, a two-year-old bull, for which be paid one thousand dollais. This bull had a ring in his nose, but being considered a gentle and Site an im a', he was generally ltd by a bead halter. It appears ibat Mr. Hodson underto k to lead him to water on tbe morning In question, but a? no one was present it is not certainly kuown. About 11 o'clock, Mr. Hod son's son and a work band found blm lying in tbe barn-lot and almost dead. They carried Man to tbe bouse, but be lived only about two tours. The bull had bad a fearful struggle, and had stamped Mr. Hodson unti' he became tired and 'eft of bis own acc .rd. A space of ground more than a rod tquare was made dusty, and blood was ou tbe fourth board of a fence near Vjbere the struggle took place. Mr. Hodson's clothes were a1 most all torn from his body, and on examination it was found thu bis bck was broken in twj place, his ribs all broken loose, and his breasttone broken also; in fact bis body was literally inisued into a jelly. Mr. Iltdon bad bis aukle broken some weeks at;o by a runaway near New Castle, and still walked with bis crutch. It is supposed tbat he stumbled and tell, and tbat the powerful aalmal became enraged at a red breakfast shawl t'el around his tenl. The luneral took place in Spieeland on last Wednesday, and a large concourse of bis friends and neighb jrs were present to pay the Ust sad rites to one wbese death tbey so deeply deplored. Mr. Hodson was a man about 50 years ot age, and leaves a large family. He was possessed of large means, and was an enthusiastic breeder of nno cattle. As long as a woman can attend an auction and buy three links ot rust-eaten stove-pipe for 60 cents, she will not worry about suffrage. A slight exposure in bad wea'.her, whs n the system is out of order, often brings on a stubborn cold; tbe attending cough irri tates the lungs, and if not promptly treated, frequently developes a tendency to a tuber culous condition. To avoid this danger, these troubled with colds should resort at once to Dr. Jayne's Expectorant, which soon loosens and eradicates ccnghs, soothes and heals Inflamed parts, and removes all anxiety by sstting tte patieat ou the way to good health otice more.

V.PIERCE, M.D., of the World's Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y., author of "The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser," etc., etc I am aware tbat tbere is a popular, and not altogether unfounded prejudice against "patent medicines," owing to tbe small amount of merit which many of tbe m possess. The appellation "Patent Medicine," does not apply to my remedies, as no patent has ever been asked for or obtained up in them, nor have tbey been urged upon ths public as "eure alls." They are simply some favorite prescriptions, which. In a very extensive practice, have proved their superior rem dial virtues in theesreof the diseases for which they are recommended. Every practic ing physician has his favorite remedies wbicb be often est recommends or uses, bv cause he has the greatest confidence in their virtues. Tbe patient does not know their composition. Even prescriptions are usually writ ten in a language unintelligible to any but tbe druggist. As mucb secrecy is employed as In ibe preparation of proprietary medicines. Does the lact that an article is prepared by a rroeess known only to ibe manufacturer render tbat article Urs valuable? How many physicians know the elementary composition of the remedies which they employ, some of which bave never been analyzed? Few practitioners know how morphine, quinine, podophyllin, leptacdrin, pepsin, or chloroform are made, or how nauseous drugs are transformed Into palatable elixirs; yet they do not hesitate to employ them. Is It not inconsistent to use a prescription, tbe composition of which Is nnknown to us, and discard another preparation simply because it is accompanied by a printed statement of Its properties, with directions for its use? Borne persons, while admitting that my med icines are good pharmaceutical compounds, ob ject to them on the ground tbat they are too often used with insufficient Judgment. I pro pose to obviate tbia dimculty by enlightening the people as to the structure and functions ol their bodies, the causes, character and symptoms of disease, and by indicating tbe proper and Judicious employment of my medicines, together with such auxiliary treatment as may be necessary. Such is one of the designs of tbe Peop e's Medical Adviser, 40,000 copies of which have already been published, and are sold at the exeee Jing'y low price of f 1 60, and sent postpaid to any address within the United States and Canada. If you would patronize medicine, scientifi cally prepared, us 9 my Family Medicines. Uollen Medical Discovery is tonlc.alterative, or blood cleauslng, aud an unequalled cough remedy; Pleasant Purgitive Pellets, scarcely larger than mustard seed, constitute an agreeable and reliable physic; Favorite Prescription, a remedy for debilitated females; my Compound Extract of Smart Weed, a magical remedy for pain, bowel complaints, and an unequaled liniment for both human and horse flesh, while Dr. Bage's Catarrh Remedy Is known the world over as the greatest specific for Catarrh and "Cold in the Bead" ever given to the public. These standard remedies have been before tbe public for many years a period long enough to fully test their merits, aud the best argument that can be advanced iu their favor Is ths fact that their sa e was never so great as during the past si a montns. HOW AX AKS WAS SAVED. Mb. Editor-1 am a man in the prime of life, and with the single exception about to be mentioned, have always enjoyed good health. For over two years I have had a very disagreeable twitching of the fingers and hand, and sometimes of the muscles of my whole right arm, and other ; nervous derangements, until about six months ago, when, after a more severe at tack than usual, my arm, hand and fingers lost their power, and two of my fingers feemed actually dead, having almost entirely lost their sense of perception and voluntary motion. My band was so powerless tbat I could not u&e it to lift a glass or water or a cup of ooflee to my lips, and because of a pain and catch" in my shoulder, I was obliged almost entirely to dispense with the use of.the arm. The whole limb wasted and became smaller than tbe other, and I had about given up all hopes of ever havlnj full ose of it again. In this condition I waa persuaded (for I needed persuad ing to try what I bad always thought to be a humbug,") to call upon Drs. Darrln 4 Merrill, at 27 Circle street, who are said to eure by tbe laying on of hands. It has now been three weeks since I commenced treatment with them, and 1 flud all pain and other obstacles to the movements of arm, hand aud fingers removed, and mv fin cera feel ss natural as ever before. or the ageut used 1 know little; of tbe theories concerning it . I care less: but this 1 do know. that, whereas, my arm was neat ly useless, now its usefulness Is restored. Let no one who is suf fering permit pride or prejudice to keep tbem lrom seeing these doctors, Tbev may not help tuem, but their magnetic treatment can do no harm. 1 hey do not pretend tbat tbev can beal a'l diseases; say tbey can not always tell whether they can afford relief or not, but in do case are tbey accused ol doing an injury. They mate no oretension to any supernatural or mysterious power, only that they bave a magnetic power In their touch which they have as cenained by repeated trials upon those in dis tress. Now I hope It will be worth your while to see for yourself what these doctors can do. and call the attention of your numerous readers to their wonuerrui worn. A.n.juMi, 133 North New Jersey street.
