THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL WEDNESDAY, MAECH 8, 1876.

will be dh1 in retting up affairs at Cincinnati in Ja vor of Morton at the Republican national convention, to meet there June 17. To this demand, Major Gordon and J. D. TJjwlad, tue clerk cf the United StUs D'strict Court, cava a painted and prompt denial. They regarded the demand &s a t-pte'es of blackmail' Ing bribery, to which tbey could nöt and would n-y ba a ptity. Tal baying in advance tb9 chacco cf an ofi:e did net differ much .'rjrn the dickering of Harsh with Bdlkn?p, in the opinion ot these gentleinsr, aad .Major Gordor, by letter to the chairman, explicitly absolved himself from all complicity with the mat ter, to the point cf tendering to tLe chalr man his resignation of his p!ace on the ticket, rather than be guilty of being a party to any suca ne.'arlous proceedings. To what inlaaiy can the leaden of tbe Republican party res irt and still have a following. Will tbe bone3t c!t'.z?ns of Indiana 8Q3ta: a a par;y that resorts to this method of corrupting those it honors? Is this not a direct license to these officers to get tbJs mo3y back any way they cat,? Did not just auch levios corrjpt the whisky distillers, and BUborJiDbt officials of tbe treasury department? Will the balance cf the state nomireas accede ti the demand of Chairman Friedley? Let it bf known il tbey do. Let the people of the state remember It. Such things were to bs expected from a parly that, in Its published platform, indorses tbe corrupt administration of Grant, but they were cot expected to come to liftLt. All honor to such a man as Major Gordon! Though he should stand alone, it will be more bocor to be left off the ticket than retained. This blackmailing tritxry was a fitting commencement cf their campaign by a party that indorsee the rascally administration ol Grant. - Judge Pettit and tbe OrthCaw. The Journal of last week contained a communication, in which Judge Pettit, of tbe Supreme Bench, wag claimed to be involved in the same disreputable act with Orth, tbat the Supreme Court of the state declared t) be fraudulent. Afterward the Journal referred to Judge Pettit of the Supren.e B?ncr, editorially, in tbe anie connect ior, lmputicg to that unimpeachable judge a share in the nefarious transaction, JaJge Ptt.lt addressed a letter which arpiars below, to the Journal on the subject, and that paper refused to publish it. We can readily see why it refused to permit so complete a refutation of it3 own gross unfairntss to appear in its columns. We publish below both the letter to tbe Journal and the comraunlc ttion to tbe Sert nel, setting lcr;h the facts of the Journal's? unwillingness to publ'sh the same: THE SENTINEL LETTER. To the Editor cf the Sentinel : Hik: On lac; Saturday I sent the letter handed you herewith to the Journal, tblnklng that paper could have no desire to do me wrong and would be glad to make the correction, but the honorable editor refuses to pulvUsh tbe letter, and 1 now ask you to publish this and that both. If an attorney la to be held responsible for a'l the crimes and wrongs of all men whom he unsucce ssfully defend, but believing tbem Innocent, as 1 did with Wright A Orth, then I thins; J. VV. Uordon. alias 'A Converted Grumbler," in list Friday's Journal, may be ranked as the creates! criminal and fraud In tbe state, for be has defended more .suoh ;mu, and perhaps with less success, than any other attorney in It. Respect.'u ly, Jons Pettit. Indianapolis, Feb. 28, 1875. THE JOURNAL LETTER. To the Editor of tbe Journal : Sib: Borne fool or knave in your paper Is trying to connect tue with Orth In the Peter and Wright case. The transcript of that case Is on file In the Supreme Court clerk's office.

and can be seen by any person desirous of Knowing what it contains. Mrs. Peter had a suit pending against Wright, Ortb, Bracket, lirana and others, chargiDg tnem witb fraud In procuring a conveyance of h r lans. Orth ana Bracket, being lawyers, defended themselves. Brand employed Mr. Balrd to deteud htm, and Wright employed Pettit and Huff to defend him. Alt of the defendants denied the fraud and succeeded In their defense below. On appeal to the Supreme Court it was held, ü Ind. S3, that Wrlgbt and Orth were guilty of fraud. I was not a party to the suit nor in any way charged with wrong. I was only defending Wngbt, who. witb Orth and o'hr, was charted with lraud, and who bad fully uenled the charge and rroieWl that he was Innocent, llow cjufd this Injure me or mv character? I ask you to publish this. Respfctfully John Ptt t. Indianapolis. Feb. 2, 1878. The admibisiratlozi papers during the exposition cf tbe Credit Mobiliar frauds gloated terribly over the fact that one or two Democrat j seemed to be inculpated. Now tbey will strive to direci attention from the rascalities ot their party by trumping up charges against DemomL. The telegraph intimates that someevi dence has been offered before tbe committee of investigation tbat Improper means hai been used by General Lore and Gov tfwjor Hendricks, in securing a contract for lrnlsblotr the government Galling guns. It is probable tbat this whole story is t canard gotten up to counteract tbe favorable consideration ahown to Gov. Hendricks la his recent Southern trip by the people of the South. If any testimony of any sort is before the committee, it ia doubtless from seme an borned scoundrel gotten up to cover tbe mass of rascality that is dally coming to light against the administration. In 1866, wben Mr. Hendricks was sens tor, he introduced Gen. Love to Mr. Stanton, then secretary of war, as a citizsn of his tat and of Indianapolis. This was a simple act of courtesy that was a pla;n duty, and this ia all that Mr. Hendricks ever had to do with tbe matter. When Gen. Love met Stanton tbe Gat ling gun had been inspected by the committees appointed for the purpose and on their report guns were purchased by Stanton. It will be seen from another column of the Sentinel that Gen Love has promptly telegraphed to Washington, asking to be called before the committee 11 any such evidence as Intimated has been given. Tals sort of a

game will not save the administration

from tbe jnst odiam that Is attached to it by reason of such exposures as era now taking plaeA.

Tarn Him Oat. ' The Journal, in its policy of Indorsing the administration ol Grant, and shielding Pitnepmt gainit cr ticism lor the part betook in securing the acquittal of the guil y Babcock, t'kis occasion to insinuate that District Attorney Dyer should be relieved fr )m b;s position as prcsscutor. He ha be ea too faithful. He will have to go the way that nendenon went. Today the country wbl justify every word t'nat Hendiraon uttered, and they have ample cause to believe that a wicked Interference on the part ot tbe president defeated tbe ends of justice, aad sesured the acquittal of Bbcok, aud that the order of Pierrepont to Inculpate and punish all inforcntM was made for tbe express purpose of concealing tbe Crimea of others in high places even ot the Präsident himsel'. The rotten ness of the White House begins to cast off. a sickening odor ail ever tbe country Faithful cfliers tbat bare done much and might do more for exposing corrup tion, ara dismissed from their placed. This is oectssary to support tbe administration. Tbe Jonrnal and its party are pledged to do this, and under this pres sure It is fitting and appropriate tbet tbe Joutnal should favor the dismissal of Dyer. The administration must-be in dorsed il every honest official must be a.sir.ssea. The Superior Court, setting in special session, yesterday rendered a decisloa in the celebrated case entitled "tbe state, ot Indiana ex rel. tbe attorney general vs. the Terre Haute A Indianapolis Railroad Company." The court, Judge Blair deliv ering the decision, sustained tbe demurrer of tbe defendans, which is virtually a vlctoiy for the railroad company in the courts below. The case will doubtless go di rectly to tbe Supreme Court on the record as it stands, though tbe state may ask to amend tbe conjp'.alnt, especially as to the third paragraph. Tbe case is one involving a millionand a half ot dollars, and is considered oue of such moment that the Sentinel submits the review and the decisions of the court entire, to the exclusion ot much miscellaneous mutter. So tbe president has again been guilty of au attempt to cheat justice this time by accepting tbe resignation ot a cabinet officer who by bis own acts confesses the commlss'on of high crimes and misde meanors. It remaics to be seen whether he shall succeed as well es he did in tbe Bibc-cck cae. If Grant had guilty knowledge of Belkrap's rascality, as now charged by differ ent parties, r.o wonder be wished Belknap bal killed himself before the facts came out. Look out for Grant's resignation or suicide. Impeachment is sure to come il these investigations do not etop. For the information of our many earn est friends In tbe country and city we state tbat tbe circulation of the Sentinel for February U more than double that ot the corresponding month of last year. GATLINQ GOSSIP. CRCOKED CHARGES FROM A WASH INGTON NEWS MONGER. GOVERNOR HENDRICKS AND GENERAL LOVE ARE INTERVIEWED ON THE LATEST FOOLISH SENSATION, AND BEPLT IN FULL. Readers of the Cincinnati Enquirer yes terday were alarmed over a few lines in a special dif-patch from Washington. It read thus: "It is at s9rted to-night that developments have been made to the committee on wf r department involving Gov. Hendricks and Gen. Love in a Gatllng gun contract, ineiactssra not given, but It is stated that it Mil be proven tbat these psrsons used improper nietns to have the Gatllng gun adopted by the war depart ment." To be sure there was nothing definite in the charge, but, in these dajs of revelations ween the pulse of p pular indignation is beating at a terrific rat?, even innuendoes are formidable. Gov. Hendricks bad fcr.unately Just returned from bis Southern trip in time to be interviewed on tbe Ga:ling gun situation. He was somewhat at a lcs to discover ttn slightest poltt to . tbe telegram, for his connection with tbe gun contract had teen so brief, and entirely of a social nature, tbat ne could net see what possible ground there could be for tbe itt mat on tlat be was or could be even remotely implicated in a job wheie the Gatllng contract was concerned. The governor left the Senate in 1S69. Three years before that, in the summer öf 1SG6, (a dale which the governor had forgotten, and which was furnished by another) be bad been visited by Gen. John Love and W. II. Tal bot t, since dccees d, and asked to break the ice which kept promiscuous visitors away trom the Hon. E. M. Stanton, secretary of war. Tbe two gentlemen were friends and townsmen of the senator,, merely wanting him, as a matter of courtesy, to introduce them to the secretary, ana thus secure tbem tbe hearing ttey were entitled to as American citizens ot unblem'sbed position. They were introduced to Mr. Stanton by the senator, and this official received their application, and quietly wrote on the back of it, "referred to the ordnance department." That was tbe extent of Gov. Hendricks's connection with tbe Gatllng gun business, and he averred he had not tbe slightest idea of the terms of the contract with the govern met t or what the sales under it bad been. Gen. Love was next visited by tbe reporter, and, in answer to questions, substantiated fully all that had been said of the . GOVERNOR'S CONNECTION WITH THE AFFAIR. "Was be ever," asked the reporter, "in any position to influence the recommendations on tbe merits of the tests or the subsequent course taken by the war depart ment?" "He was not," was tbe reply. "Has be been fin an dally Interested in the Gatllng gun?" Never. He does not own one cent's worth ofstockinthe company now and never

did. So far aa he is concerned thtsa rumors are bottomless and simply absurd. Tbe test of tbe gun were commenced in March, 1865, and continued successfully at many points . fcr over a year till we thought it safe to urge the merits of the Invention on our own government. We wished to Introduce it as one of tbe arras of the service, and the then Seoator Hendricks helped us to get an audience from Mr. Stanton. All tbe references and tests and recommendations aremattm of record. Tbey have been published together in the Ordnance Memoranda, No. 17, which contains a full report ot tbe board of cfticeis appointed ou Gatllnjf guns of large caliber for flank defense. Tbe tests were exhaustive and eat s'actorv. Results were reported to tbe chief of ordnance, at command of the adjutant general, and arter being in turn referred to the higher officers were eubmt'ed finally to Mr. Stanton, who autboriz'd the purchs. Wben was tbe gun adopted? It neve was exactly adeptrd. The company has made occasional sales to tbe government, and not very extensive oops either. It seams remaraable, but still it is a fact, tbat Russia has bought tieeasmany of these gun as America and Tnrkev three tlm-s the amount. Our largest contracts, as is well enough known, have been made abroad. Now as to the

use of my name in thesa char&es,whatever ' tbey may be, I can only say that to-nlgbt I shall send this telegram t o tbe speaker cf the House. The dispatch reads as follows: Indianapolis, March 6, 1876. The lion. M. C. Kerr: Dispatches from Washington appear today to the effect that developments have been made befc ra tbe committee on the war department involving Gor. Hendricks and myself in the use oi improper means to have the Galling gun adopted by tbe war dprtment. This la wholly without foundation in trntb. If such inquiries are before the committee please have me called bv the committee at once. (Signed) John Love. The above statement should be enough to convince any reader ot common sense tbat those foolish reports have originated in party malice and will end in smoke, just as tbey began. The cbaractsr of a statesman like Governor Hendricks will only appear in brighter colors wben contrasted wub tbe littleness of auch contemptible attacks. T1IE LATE SECRETARY. THE PRESS UPON HIS FALL. They Generally Condemn, but Some SeekExtenuatirg Circumstances. BUT FAIL TO FIND ANY. ROLL ON TUB BALL. From the Evansvlils Courier, Dem. The great central topio is tbe Belknap disgrace, the dishonor of his family, bis own corruption and impsachment by the House for nigh crimes and m'slemeacers. Investigation under tbe democracy inves tigates. Roll on tbe ball! ROTTEN TO THE CORK. From the Cincinnati Enquirer, Dem. Our telegraphic columns contain this morning tbe testimony which convicts Belkoap and which will convince tbe country that the republican administration at Washington la rotten to tbe cor . What may we not expect wheu the demcratlc probe is inserted in Rjbeson'a knavish department? , A GRAVE JOKE. From the Cincinnati Gazette, Rep. Tbe republican par.y has made itself noted by tbe merciless spirit with which it visits offenders of its own party. In ail cases where it has been able to discover either corruption cr any abusaoi public position, its severe judgments have lelt nothing for the opposition to do. In this case, although it strikes one high in the confidence of tbe president and of the party, it will do nothing to shield him from justice. It may be even unjutt in its swilt execution. STRICKEN WITH 8 1 LENT SADNESS. From the Chicago Inter-Osean, Rep. Tbe blow under which he is now stricken down, apparently never to rise again, comee, therefore, like a lightning bolt from an unclouded sky. It has stricken him so suddenly and so irrecoverably as to have par a1 j zed bis perssnal and political friend?, and to have appealed to tne pity even of his political enemies. Men ot all parties, and who can in no manner defend nor palliate his great offense, are moved tu tilenco and to sadness in view ol tbe swiftnets and the hopelessness of his fall. rrrrriNO it strong. From the St. Louis Timed, Dem. It is monstrous. The very stones cry out against such shameless corruption. In a despotic country, a man guilty cf such unblushing' iniquity would be promptly brought to the block or the bowstring; in a country where the people are a law unto themselves, be would soon dangle at the end of a rope from tbe nearest tree. Here we accept his resignation, and tbe party which is responsiole lor his rascality will claim the credit of purging itself ot Imparity. a national humiliation. From the Evansvllle Journal, Rep. The sad story of Secretary Belknap's disgrace is given in full this morning. The disgrace is a national humiliation. No one who feela any pride of country can read tbe story without feeling a keen sense of mortification and sorrow. The elevated position held by the secretary, and the meanness of his offense, will give intensity to the indignation at bis conduct. We have not tbe space, even had we the inclination, to comment upon the details this morning. Tbe Senate bas a simple duty to perform, and the courts should be called on to visit punishment upon tbe offender. A FALSE SOCIAL SYSTEM. From tbe Chicago Tribune, Bep. The wonder u not that such a wreck oi character and honor, and of life-long in tegrity should take place, but that there have not been others, and many of them. ' Looked at calmly, what other result can be expscted from this general, almost universal, practice of 11 v lng beyond honett means, an aban donmant of honest labor for equivocal pur suits, ana the laborious effort to get r.cb without werk? Tbe effects are every day mads evident in the long list of defaulting and embetxling crimes committed by persons having business charge of other peo

ple's money. It la made evident in th I long daily list of bankruptcies and of ollirial thieverv. I

- --rf A MOURNFUL RECITAL. From tbe Courier-Journal, Dem It la really a mournful recital, and not one to be dwelt upon. No patriotic American can wish to tee bis country disgraced through one of Its cabinet officers even to wreak a partisan judgment. We were disgraced enough at Vienna. But it tbat was not enough God knows the cop bas been filled to overflowing in London. Naw, t op tbe climax ot tbat tense ol Irresponsibility which comes aitsr long political tenure, tae republican par'y presentj us a a flual trophy ot its domination, this secrttiry of war, this pjcr Belknap, Mshed out of his cr ginal ooscuriiy to ans grace the whole ot o, and to make us hang our beads in every par . ot the world. BOUNCE THE PARTY. From the St. Louis Republican, Ind. The crime is too ahameful and the criminal tco exalte J to b3 the subject of ordinary penalties. To try him and punish him as a felon would aggravate the scandal before tbe world. Basides, no Inflicting of legal penalties on the bribed lnnctionBry would relieve the sense of dishonor tbst overwhelms the couutry, aad causes every man's cheek to tingle with shame. All that ae country can do, pernaps, is to bear its share of the disgrace with what patience it mty, disml-B tbe cn ander to bis infamy, and bold President Grant's administration and tbe party that put it in power to a reckoning for tue shocking and multiplying fcindals that are following eacn other in feuch rapid succession and disgracing us and our government in tbe eyes of the world. , THE SHOULDER STRAP RING. (From the Chicago Times, lad. Belkap was one ofthat peculiar shoulderstrap ring of parasite?, which Included also Adam Badeau and "the Sylph," by which Grant, in the White Honse as in tbe field, has ever been surrounded. These men were members of his military staff in the field. They were bis camp cronies, who flattered his vaicty and buzzed his little greatnes'. He carried tbem witb him to the White üoüse.ln defiance of good tuts and a republican sense of propriety, which looks with no favor upon a civil magistrate surrounded by military courtleri and parasites. One of them turned out to be a Sylph; but that did not cause Grant toloee confidence in him. Another bas turned out t) be a rogue in the sutlership line; but as even nesrjr relatives ol Grant have been in tbe same line of roguery, wby should that cause Grant to lose confidence in his military secretary? ADDING) COWARDICB TO CRIME. From tbe BU Louis Globe-Democrat, Rep. General Belknap leaves nothing to be said in bis favor. His conduct and bis confessions strengthen the ctsa made against him by tbe investigating committee; and we era inclined to agree with tbe member of that body who charges him with adding cowardice to crime by attempting to shield himself behind an accusation of dishonor against his wife. The unanimity with whicnvtbe House of Representatives voted in favor ol bis im peach me at, in face of a serious doubt whether be bad not, by bis voluntary resignation, placed himself beyond its jurisdiction, only shows how deeply rooted is tbe conviction of bis guilt. We do not beiieve be is liable to Impeachment, but he certainly is liable to criminal prosecutioa under the statute tor the pun ishment of bribery, and we bare no doubt the necesiar y steps will be at once taken to compel him to answer to an accusation of this kind. WHAT WONDER IS IT HE FKLL. From the Cincinnati Commercial, Ind. Preildect Grant tai irjm firs; to last run his adminMrhtion on personal favoritism. Whether appointing cabinet ein cers, revenue officers in St. Louis, Chicago or New Orleans, or postmasters in this neighborhood, or surrounding himself with paculatlng and p'cul&tinz brothers-in-law and mill ary cronie, be has been true to one great principle, viz.: that the uses ot tbe presidency were tor hlmeelf and friends. - He is beginning to reap his reward. It was unkind in bitn to be sorry tbat Belknap did not kill himself. Poor B9lknep was brought to Washington into an fctoioiphere tbat approved the use ot public office for private gain. He saw tbe president enriched witb presents, lie saw notorious swindling speculators high in lavor at tbe Wbita House. He eaw brothers-in-law of tbe president aa pre tended claim lawycra making merchandise ot bis came and power. Wnat wonder is it tbat be fell? Two or three colds in succession will often establish the teeds of Cocsumption in tbe ystam, converting what was originally a slmp'e, curable affection into one generally latal. While ordinary prudence, therefore, makes it the business of every one to take care of a cold until H is got rid of, intelligent expsrience presents a rem edy in Dr. Jayne'a Expectorant, thor oughly adapted to remove rpeedily all coaghs and colds, ana equally effective in tbe primary stages of Consumption, Asthma and Bronchitis. ALDERMAN GEORÜK E. WHITE, Of the firm of Geo. E. White & Co., Chicago, Illinois, bas been a few daya in this city, the guest of tbe Hotel Bates. Mr. Wmt9 is ssnior partner or mis 01a reiiaDie hard wood lumber house which was es tablished in business wben Chicago was as vet but a small city, in the year 1858.
