Impartial Corrcipoudrnff. It will be lemeißbfcrei that Senator Morton in hi9 lite sr. etj;h relerred to a laid letter Of the Cincinnati Commercial's correspondent, 11. V. Kddce.J, aud said that he Wiä a Deniocraf, and ttat hi testimony was that 30,000 murders had been commuted in the Southern s!a'es within a glvsn period. Redfiold, down somewhere in Tennessee, saw tho telcjrapLi? leport ttat Morton had been read: i' g one of his letiersand forthwith tvritei to the Commercial, not knowing -wta. particular part of bis letters tad been quoted, deoying that he ia a Democrat, and thit he is a doctor, as Ur. Morton ca ltd him, and clalminz to be 2n independent voter and a trutblul nartzior of thing down South. Mr. Rsdfield was not aare what particular story that Mr. Moiton midc hi point upon, otherwise we dc uLt whether he would have been s ready to indorse hi own impartiality and truthfulness. That tcry of thirty thousand murders In the South needs corroboration. It cecda facts and figures to sustain it. It is quoted in th United States Senate as a part o tha evidence upon which an appt-al is made for an expensive investigation. Tnirty thousand murders and tLe-e, a Morton insists, chisfly negroea is a declaration that upon it very f ice refutes itself. We have r.o doubt that tighly colored xeoorts on either bide have come from pirtl-an writers in the South since the clo?-e of tie war, but we doubt whether any o! thes- a-e more justly repro-henc-iblo than this ridiculous wholesale guess of th8'indepeui!e3t vo"er" that writer for the Commercial. It is much like tho story ot the man that saw a flxk ot one hundred deer c .m'rsg through a forest, and when clcsely qaesUoneJ, the author ct tb.3 report finally affirrr.ei with an oitb, alter coming tea or twenty at a time down to nothing, that h had heard a rustling in the bushes. Mr. RdSld's letter came to light in a time Bingularly appropriate for Mr. Morton's speech. Mr. Morton got hold of it just in time. lie bad already announced his forthcoming effort. How very convenient for this Impartial correspondent to get in his work just at the right moment lor Morton's use. But he has so overdone the thing that his Impartiality in the future will be rather a: a discount. Which Party la in Favor or Greenbacks? The Kepubtlcan party Is the greenback party ot the past, the present and future. The party that created reenbcksl the one to protect Inem. As they are the creation of the Republican party, to thvr only protection lies In that pacty. Journal, Jauua:y iits, lS7d. In tLe issue which contained the above appeared the following dispatch from Washington Cit?: "The secretary of the treasury to day directed the destruction ol ?0."4,00o in greenbitck.-, that amount being eighty p.r cerit of the national back cur retC7 i3surd dcricg tto present month. This will leave the outstanding greenback circulation ?371,272,140." We tsk our re.tderd to concpare the profession of the Journal with t practical workings of the Republican poll " .' Who passed the law providing that when ever one hundred dollars of national bank notes now issued eighty dollars ia green backs should be withdrawn and burned? The Republican party passed the law, and the Republican secretary of the treasury yesterday actually burned over a half mill ionof greenbacks, while hundreds of thou sands of laboring men are out of employrnent and their wive and children are suffering for necessaries ot life. Who passed the resumption act, which provides for redeeming all of the greenbacks? The answer ia, the K?publicn party. Who recommended the repeal ol the law making greenbacks a legal tender? Wo answer, President Grant and Secretary Brittow, The eflcct of the repeal of the legal tender clause would be to greatly depreciate greenbacks in the hands of the people, the profit going into the coffers ot the natiocal tanks and other capitalists. Ilere is what the Nation says of the late barangue of Senator Morton, which the Democrats in congress thought was not worth replying to: Perhaps the most startling thing about the speech Is that It should have been made, listened to and reported. We presume that there Is nobody in thee untry who now Las the smalleat belief In Mr. Morton' honesty as a politician or snpposes that there Is any sincerity in anything he say. He makes speeches, everybody knows,on whichever sideof anyquex1 Ion he suppose most likely to be popular, sod be has no hesitation in natly and publicly contradictlnz in January what he sal 1 in July. JSobady, In fact, credits him with any couvlctlonsof bis own. In a pure and healthy state of politics and of pnblie opinion, be would De living In close. retirement and tafcing bis exercise after dark. Nevertheless, no man courts observation more, or tackles grave questions with more audacity and ostentation, and he fets outwardly as respectful a bearing, and there as to be as much editorial weighing of bis words as if he were a loyal, upright, unselfish man. Of course be really cares no more about the condition of tbe Booth than be cares about bard or soft money, and though people listen, nobody has any intention of acting on his utter-

Grant can nomiEate himself or an j body that he chooser. McArthur's Ecqairer says that T. A. lien dricks, cf Indiana, and Thomas Ewlng, of Ohio, have been eugsested for tbe presidency and vice presidency. That would make a noble ticket. A Conkling club was organized at Rome, New York, on Saturday evening, and resolutions were parsed nom'nating the senator for the presidency, because "be is jutly entitled and particularly fitted to exalt a station whicn the names of a Washington, a Lincoln and a Grant adorn." If any one were to suggest Blaine, ol Maine, and Harrison, ol Indiana, for a ticket, perhaps it would reconcile a IIoo9ler somewhat to continuing Morten In the Sonata. But, thtn, Ohio ha a? pirations. In order to eratify them, WasLburne, cf Illinois, and ialt, of Oilo, might fill tbe bill pr6tty well. Chicago Tribune.

Thf Biaia doesn't undeis'and the Enquirer. We are attending to our own busiue-8 preaebirt the good word aod watching tho Etattsuo jn. Cin. Euquirer. IIa the spicial exertion cf the Times to prove that Hendricks is the magnetic name that is to illuminate the democratic presldei.tial ticket any relerence to tbe candidacy of Morton? it is tbe Bpcctal claim of Morton's Iriends that if Hendricks is the democratic candidate, Morton must te the candidate of the republicans, in order to give them Indiana. How Is that? Cincinnati Commercial. There is no doubt that the les partisan managers of both political parties would feel easier in their minds if they could put a gag upon the bumptious brethren in Ohio and Indiana. As tbe Springfield Republican puts it: "If both parties could fence them off and fence them out for the next year things would go along very emootbly. But between Hendricks and Morton and Pendleton and Thurman and II ay es, and the continued local tenderness for the rag baby, alter everybody 6lse is pretty much weaned, thev are making a mess of it in both camos. What gives them power to do this is that their votes are likely to b9 necessary to electa president. Nobody else can stand 6lther theircandida.es or their platforms, y6t If they can't have them tbey threaten to play the very devil witn tre result." Gov. Hendricks seems to be gaining some strength as a presidential candidate ia tbe South, and the prospect is that, when be starts on bis Southern tour next month, he will receivo general demonstrations of popularity. Ti e Columbus (G .) Enquirer says of him: "Believing the candidate will be from the West, we look upon Gov. Hendricks, ol Indiana, a tbe coming man, and claim lor him all the popular quality and fitnest necessary to make a successful race. He :s a gentleman of unblemished private ch aracter, with a bright record as governor and senator. If we mi.-.take not, popular opinion look to tno West for the candidate this time, the last two being from New Y.rk, with unfortunate results." New York Tribune. We place at the bead ol our editorial columns to-day the names of Hendricks and Curtin as candidates for president and vice president of the United States, subject to the decision cf the democratic national con vention. It is a ticket that will carry Penn sylvania, Olio and Indiana, and every Southern s'ato excapt the colored state ot South Carolina. It is tbe ticket that, will win the centennial harbinger of peaca on earth and good will to man. It is a ticket that will remand tbe public thieves to private life and replace them with honest men. Elected hone;, patriotic men everwhere will bail it as tbe tavlor o: the country, and old men like ancient Simeon can bless God at its redemption and salvation and de part in peace. Goshen Democrat, As the pface in which to hold the Natiocal Democratic Convention, Cincinnati should not oe a terror to any or tue uemocra :c presidential candidates. Tilden is aslikely to be nominated here as be ia anywhere else. He has two friends in the Eighteenth Ward. Bayard has a many advoca'es In this city as in any other ia the United States. He ha considerable strength in Cummlnsville. Mr. Thurman ought not to be so fearful of having the convention meet in the chief city of bis own stete. He would have a welcome on Third street. The friends ot neighbor Hendricks should not avoid Cincinnati. The governor is almost as well known in this city as in Indianapolis perhaps better. Of course this would be in his fayor. He should not be iutimidved by tbe fact that the Cincinnati Times calls bira Oily Gammon Hendricks, for it is a republi can newspaper and stbl predicts his nomina'ion. Nor should be pay any attention to the story that Senator Robertson, of South Carolina, tells, likening the Indiana governor to a sable philosopher and trapper on his plantation, who remarked: "Dese yer common niggers sots d ere triggers to cotch de coon a comin', but I sots mine to cotch blm jess da same a comin' or gwine.' Cincincati is Governor Hendrick'a spot He could concentrate all bis friends in Ohio and Indiana upon this city. The convocation should be neld here. Cincinnati En quirer, SOCIAL STARS. IDA GREELEY S HUSBAND AND THE LATE MATE OF MINMK MY BILK MILLER. The New York correspondent of the Bal timore American writes: Two persons seen everywhere this winter, and who attract great deal of attention, are Mr. Joaquin Miller and Colonel Nicholas Smith, the husband of Ida Greeley. Col. Smith Is always in attendance on hi wile; Joaquin (no one would know him a "Mr." Mi.ler was thought ar. one time to have come to New lork In search of.'one, but as a fortune hunter, if that was part of the programme he does not seem destined to be a success He can not help making straight for tbe prettiest girl in tbe room, any more than be cm help talking very tender poetry out of hi eyes when be reaches her 6lde. Col Smith is undeniably the handsomest man anywhere. He is gilted also with that wonderful manner which, lor the time be leg, mikes the person to whom be is talk log, be it man or woman, think him or her sell tbe one object in the world in which or In whose opinions and ideas be is most in terested. He ia a picturesque talker, full of that peculiar mixture of originality chivalry, and honesty which seems to dis tinguiäb the natives of tbe border states, He says he made up his mind to marry Mis I la Greeley, if he could get her, before he ever saw her, from the newspaper ac counts ol her goodness and devotion to her parents. If thou wouldst find much favor and peace with God and man, be very low in thine own eyes. Forgive thyself little and others muca, iieignton,

THE PRESIDENTIAL PROBLEM.

An Eastern Paper Sums Solution. Up the HENDRICKS CALLED OUT. HIS RFOORD BE VIEWED AND IXDOt-KD FXGOVERNOR PARKER OP NEW. JKRSKY frCQOESTED FOR THE SFCOND PLACE ON THE NATIONAL TICKET. The Jersey City Herald and Gaz3ttesums up the presidential situation from the democratic stand point, and comes to these conclusions: The approaching presidential election ie last beginning to attract an attention proportionate to the vast interests that ate dependent upon its result. So far as the tbird term is concerned, that,- in thrt first instance at least, is a question for republicans. It must be settled in a nominating convention before it comes to the people for final determination. And, aside from the dangerous precedent which Graut' nomiratiou would establish, it certainly makes very little difference to tho democratic party who becomes tho republican candk'a. In any event the same unvsie and iliib ral rolicy will be maintained, and tbe present rii-ia-trons and corrupt inniaemnnt of public aflTrtirs will iu all probability be continued should the party now in pwer again be successful at tne polls. To what, then, should our attentiou hi directed? Manifjetlyto a consideration of what snou'.d be done by ILo Democratic National C?nventijn in order to meet the expectations and command the suffrage of all who desire the restora'ion cf good government. The question for us is not who shall be the candidate of the opposition, but who can ASSURE THE VICTORY TO U3. Oa this point speculation has been Indulged, aud the claims of several prominent statesmen have been con-iderea. Without enter ing into a discussion regarding the merits or demerits of all the leading democrats who have been mentioned in connection with the presidency, let us ascertain the present outlook and sea what i like'.y to influence the choice of the convention. In the first p'ace,th contest will contain the element of sectio cal rivalry. The East and the West are alike de-ircu of tbe honor of furnisbiDg the next president. The strongest Eastern name, as all will agree, is tha; or uovernor Tilden. IPs vigorous and unrelenting war upon the canal ring bas brought him into sudden, and, it may be said, unexpected prominence. In this darK epoca or corrup tion in public stations bis record is a shining and glorious one. Tbe same pint of reform which has cnaracterizea is administration la New lork is badly needed at Washington. Bat is Tilden available for the presidency? This we fear must be answered in the negative, and for several reasons, since tne evils witn wnicn in nis present capacity be bas bad to deal are purely local in their nature and concern only people ot the state of New York, and since upon hi conduct as governor must he alone rest his CLAIMS TO THE CONFIDENCE OF THE PEOPLE of the country at large, he is at a disadvantage so far as popularity in other sections of our vast domain is concerned. Then there is a deep-seated opposition throughout the West to nominating any man Irom New York. The Western people argue that the 8st two candidate were from that state, and that the Wesi ii now entitled by cour-te-y to the choice. In this position they are firmly entrenched and declare their intention "to hold the fort." And again objec tion is made to Tilden because te is supposad bv Western men to hnve desired the defeat of Alien in Oolo, and some have even charged that be contributed to bring about that result. Influential and well informel democrats, residents of Ohio, declare that be could not carry a county in that state. In Pennsylvania he is especially unpopular. Let u now look to the West and see who Is there presented. Ohio, as Is well known, had. before tbe late election, two or three formidable aspirants. But Allen went down in his defeat, Thurman has b9en quietly shelved, and Pendleton's greenback heresies have placed him without tbe pale of those holding to tbe true faith and accept rgtbe traditions of the tarty. Besides these men, not one of whom to-day bas any considerable following, we find but one other whof e standing entitles his claims to any marked degree of respect. THAT MAN IS THOMAS A. HENDRICKS, ex-United States senator and present gov ernor of Indiana, who.it will be rem3mbered. was Mr. Se-ymour'a most formidable competitor In 1SG3. Mr. Hendricks is an able and distinguished statesman, ot broad views, untarnished reputation, and large acquaintance with public affairs, who is wed and widelv known, and possessed of a

personal magnetism which attracts and J cussed. I know, as a fact, that the expendiholds all who come within the reach of its ture was purposely concealed by Mr. Stock-

influence. His public life covers a period of more than a quarter of a century, during which his experl - ence ca3 been vast and varied, A patriotic and enthusiastic adherent ot tbe Union cause during tbe war, our "truly loyal" republican brethren mast search bis record in vain lor the purpose of charging him with want of devotion to his country in the hour of danger. On the nnancial question bis views are well known to be in favor of sound currency. Although he advocated the election oi Allen, be never assented to the inflation doctrines of Sam. Carv. as can readily be ascertained from an examination ol his speeches made in the Ohio canvass. PARKER FOR THE VICE PRESIDENCY. The vice presidency, therefore, must come to the East, and upon whom shall it fall? We answer by suggesting the name ot a distinguished and honored son . of New Jersey in tbe person of Joel Parker, the great democratic war governor. Jcel Parker was born in Monmouth county, near the battle ground of that memorable conflict of the revolutionary war. ilia grandfather was a soldier in the continental army and fell fighting for bis country. Gov. Parker is 57 years of age, of splendid physique, six feet three inches in height, and weighing 250 pounds. In presence he is Imposing, and In manner social and rdaastnc. He ls a Graduate of Princeton Cnllppe and ranks atnonc the foremost lawvera of tho state, " - His public life bezan with hi election to the legislature when a very voung man. and he served three vears in that hodv with i?reat credit. Ha auhsennentlv served rive veara a district attornev. He bas occupied the gubernatnrial chair irr two terrn. At the time of his first election the state was almost bopeleeelv republican, but. he obtained a respectable majority. The last time he was elected hv one ot the lrp-t.t mnlorlties ever ohtained bv anv democrat In New Jersev. For two years during the war he was the only democratic eovernor in tbe Unitea States. Last vear he was appointed at torney general by Governor Bedle, which office he resigned. He is a fine speaker, ana very euective on tne stump, ouvwuur jraraer is weii-auuwu, iuu juswy popular an over tne xonu. dui um crQt frar.frth lloa In Vila own and ailloinlnw states. With Gov. Parker on tbe national ticket, New Jersey, New York and Connec ticu; are aMored to the democracy, ana there la but little doubt that he oonld carry P.nnninniiu n. with anch a tickt aa Hendricks and Parker. It la safe to say

the democracy can succeed in defeating any combination the republicans can effect beyond all i erad venture.

SPECULATING- IN STATESMEN. SEQUEL TO BRIBING CHRISTIAN CONGRESSMEN. THE COMPANY'S SCTT AGAINST WILLIAM S. KINO, EX-rOSTM ASTER OK THE HOVSE OK REPRESENTATIVES THE CHECKS FOR 17Ü0.000 PAID. The New York Sun of Wednesday revfcres the Pacific Mail subsidy scandal: The alleged use of 5750,000 for Washington lobbying In behalf of a subsidy lor the Pacific Mail Company in 1S72. id brought to public notica again by the ccmpany's suit against William S. King, ex-postmaster of the House of Representative. Tne action was commenced in Minnesota, in which stste King lives, and is intended by the present managers to result in the recovery of the money either disbursed In corrupting congress or retained by tho deieulant. The p?a'r.tifl nava the monevwüaanproprlated witLou: tto knowledge of m st cf the directors, and the delendant avers that sucii is not tLe fact. Tebtimonv was taken in this city yuM-erdav bnijre Mr. E W. Wig'it, notary public. Hio morey bad, bv previous testimony, been traced to King's possession in this. way: Mr. t . V. G. B.-l-lowt, vice pro-idem of the lc no Mail itcnipany in 1872, wrote to Mr. Richard B. It win, tt o agent iu San Francisco, to come to rsew lork and report wnat he had dote rcgdrding a subsidy for the China liiae. Ir win came, and spent several subsequent months here and in Washington. CHECK FOB $700,000 were given to hlm and on May 23 he pre sented them at the American Exchange National Bank for payment. King was then with him, and to King on the following day tho money was paid. Thomas Eilis, note teller of the National Park Sink, the first of yesterday's witnesses, testified tht King deposited In that bank in May, 1S72, ?H2r0)0 and that of the sum ? 10,000 wa3 placed to the credit of the State Bank of Minneapolis, ?1,000 to the First National Bank of St. Paul, ?lo,000 paid an overdue note, and tbe rest was tüawn on certincates or deposit for various amounts. Mr. Theodore T. John son, ex-secretary or tne fac.nc Mail t'ompany, testified that iu May, 1872, he drew six cnecKi in lavor or lrwin, aggregating $750,000. His further testimony, in respouse to questions by the opposing lawyers Mr. HenryS. Bennett for tbe plaintiff, and Mr. John JNoble Goodwia for the defendant was as follows: A motion was offered by O. P. C. Billings, in a directors' meeting, authorizing President Stockwell to incur expense in Washington. Tne checks and their connection were first brought to light in December, 1874 It was not the duty of the treasurer to know for what use checks signed by him were in tended. The simple order ol the president or vice president was enough authority lor signing a check lor any amount. An entry ol the purpose of the check, as stated by the president or vice president, i usually made in the margin of the check book. WITH REFERENCE TO THESE CHECKS, I asked the vice president to what account they should be charged. The origiaal checks had been issued to the order of A. B. Stockwell, and so entered in the margin. After destroying the original checks, by order 01 v ice President Beiiowe, and draw ing tbe checks, of the same am jurits, to cut order of R B.Irwin, I a-sk id l w ut ac count thy sl oald be entered. Mr. Bollows re-pile J: "L? t them standi a they are, and tbw otiier partof the entry iu the margins. will be given to yon." The premised lu.'ormiiiou wm subsequently given by Mr. Bellows, who stild, "For live of the checks add in the margin, 'Eldridge & Irwin, agents in San Francisco.' For the other, of ?6o0,000. add 'Harriott cc 2soyes.' " 1 ma la these entries. I did not kuow, bat have sinca learned, that this was 6aid lor tbe purpose ot misleading me as to the real purpose oi drawing tbe chocks. I did not know of any other entries oi that tranaction In any ctbsr book than the check bock. I discovered that the record was not ot the actual disnosition of the money when the matter was brought into court. I saw Irwin in the office on or about the day ou which the checks were drawn. Mr. Stockwell and I had no conversation about what entries ahmiH Via moiatn oomn lit tnr t Vila rHihll raa. ment The board ol directors in that period I met monthly, cenerally, and the next meeting: after the drawing of these checks was on May 30, 1872. Tne auditing committee met on Dacember 18, 1872, and I wa present when they made their report to the ocard. The subject ot this large expeuditure of money was no; suggested or dis wetland Mr. Ballows irom the board, and that th9 entries that I and other officers of 1 the company made were a part ot the plan to conceal ine Knowieuge irom oineromcers and directors. IN TRANSACTING THE BUSINESS OF THIS COM PANY, the system used to guard against such false entries as these was this: The by-daws pro vided lor an auditing committee of the preident an(i three directors, appointed every . ä tnanA.t aU ,a UIto w""" . . .j quarter of a year; to have before them all securities of everv nature and kind to com pare with tbe accounts and verify them ; and to make a full written report to the Doara. All bills lor things purchased were required tobe examined ry a clerk. Tbe surveyor who made the purcbas9s was required to certify to the Quantities and prices. All checks were required to be signed by the president or vice-president and oy tne treasurer. The president or vice-presiaeni was required to put bis initial on every phi, riiHtt. or contract for which be slimed a check. A an expert accountant, the auditing I should say that, naa committee irorerlv performed its dutv. I would not have dis covered the falsity of these entries, because tbe amounts were not unusual, if there was no collateral lor the amount of loan represented by the entries to have been made, the committee should have discovered it. provided the entries In the acI . I I counts were tne same as in iua marciu ui the check books. I had no supervision of I the accounts. In the cash book, subseauentlv. tbe 1750.000 W8S mentioned With out explanation, by order ol the vice-presi-dent. The accounts oi the San Fraucisco agency wfre adjusted every month, and I vouchers were required for every dollar. The accounts ol the agency submitted to the auditing committee would not show tbe $050,000, because the agency received no such monev. Mr. Johnson 'also swore I that in December. 1872, a claim was coade against Mr. Stockwell for $1,000,000, which as saia ne oaa eipenaeu ia uwuiugwu THE TRAIN ROBBERS.

They decided "to go Rt once," and went, and are now imprisoned Intbn county jail, in default of the required f 2,000 bail each. The man Hartwell says a good deal to the eüect that he was led into tbe affair, and remarked once that be had teen forced into it. The man really has 'riends in tre city who are glad at hearing such clap-trap as this, probably because tbey knew him as an industrious man not nvany months since, aud considered him "a pretiy straight fellow." However that may be, he bas got himself into devious and tortuous ways by this aempted crime. He w.'d to some ct tbe officers yesterday that b? wished tbey would see ine proper city authorities and have them provide his lamily with wood and provisions, adding tliat tbey were in

Sergeant Kncfcl went back over tbe road the day folic winp, aod sscertalned that tbe cuUirg 3i ougb the door was dne in Fulton counir, but that tbe man put hi arm through the hole and was captured after cresting the wrnty line. That settled one weighty question ard de;:ded that Lucas county shouKi b.ve tne joy of taring the expnsos of prosecuting the criminals. Bound to worry some one, the public mind i now pourirg over the inquiry, "Was it burglary? or waithe trap opened too sood, befor burglary bad been committed ?" Now, it i?n't right to l sr captions! The men were guilty of "breaking" and no one questions that. The only remaining question is as to whetber thev made an "entrance." The law says that if tne bo Jy, or any part of the body, pasew within the opening, that constitutes an entry and a burglary ha been committed. And instances are then mentioned by way or illustratior.. In caso that came to trial tbe defendant was shown to have extended only a finger through the opening in tbe room where the theft was contemplated, and it was derided to be burglary. Another instance was where tbo inmate ot tbe room rushed out to attack the would-be burglars, and in the fracas that ensued a sword in the hands of the burglar was thrust M itbin tte door, and the court decided that it was burglary. Numerous other cases are cited to show that the law bas been brought down to a fine point, and means to "let no guilty mints ape." The largest workshop cf tbe body is the Liver, whose oßce it is to withdraw the bile from the blood; when this important organ does not act, the skin assumes a yellow appearance, and generally a siek headache S6ts in, with chilly sensations and cold hands and feet, acompanied with loss of appetite.
