Address INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL CO . Indianapolis, Ind. WEDNESDAY, MAY 3. The Journal's "energy ot force againet a confident majority" means barefaced and absolute fraud. Let the Republican party attempt it, and the leaders will land where so many Republican officials now repose in the penitentiary. Let loreign-bcrn citizsns take notice that pending this election the Journal docs cot dare to open its mouth about Orth, or tell who its candidate for governor it. It now cajoles those whom the man it suppotts for governor has sworn to disfranchise and bate with an everlasting hatred. There is a great demand for Terrell now. Ills master, Morton, wants him at Wash ington to figure him out of the clutches of Springer's Investigating committee, and Brother-in-law Holloway wants him in Indianapolis to rally the Radical ring repeaters at the various voting places on Tuesday. The Elmira (N. Y ) Gazette advises Republicans to "go over to the Democrats tor at least one campaign, to show the Republican leaders that they can not sa'ely defy the intelligence, conscience and personal honor of voters." And thousands of them are going over to the Democrats in every state in the Union. Theo dwar governor won't come home to tak9 command of the home guar Js to keep the Democrats away from the polls, as be has all he can do, and more, explaining what he did with 250,000 of the people's money he had nnwarranted charge of during those tumultuous times when Decontrolled the state as if be owned It. The Chicago Tribune writes Insipid platitudes about Bristow, and the agent of the Associated Press sends them over the country on the wires and com pells the newspapers of the country to pay tor them. The proceeding is distasteful to the press and the public, but Medill's 'editorial!", even when mixed with lightning, are too weak to hurt. That everlasting MouJton-Beecher staff is coming to the surface again. Cant somebody. frr$ mander Moulton oat of the country T ournai. Let Beecher consult Morton about the matter. The gerrymandering ot this state by Morton shows an ability- In that direction that could throw Moulton beyond the pale of the courts every time, ical councilman winged let him take lessons of the Sentinel. They never flutter Wben Ortb, the head center i i KnowNotbingism, wss nominated for governor .t was expected that the spirit ot 1854 wou.'d be revived. The Republican papers of tie city are blackguarding the Irish, and thrlr hostility to the GermaBa would be equally fierce did they not hope their party would receive some German votes rext Tuesday.

j Their silence aa to Germans Is sot tost

tbey hat them less, bat that they love their vet ?s more. Williams voted for the Baxter law. Journal. A reference to the record of the session will show that Williams did not vote for the Baxter law, but that George W. Friedley, now chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, did. Mr. Williams voted against the raise In their salaries while the same Friedley voted for the increase to f 10 per diem for members, The Utlca (N. Y.) convention was In the interest of Tilden as the Democratic can dldate In the national convention. There were 364 delegates present, and upon motion to secure one delegate from each congressional district, which was made I the Interest of Tilden, It was shown that of the delegates present 163 were opposed to TildeD. Nearly one half, in bis own state. The National Prison Congress meets in the citj of New York Jane 6. Statistics will be presented to the congress showing how many distinguished Republicans are in the penitentiaries of the various state?, and the amount ot their stealings. In addition to tbesr, tables will be prepared showing approximately the sum total ol Republican frauds upon the revenues ol the general government, as also state and tnnnirlnal eovernments. Look out lor a tw the figures. The Indiana Democrats have began to form "H ue Jeans Clubs." The title, which promises to be an effective campaign watchwoni," Is suegested by the els. h which Representative Williams, the Democratic candidate for governor, always wears. ew York; Evening Post. The blue Jeans worn by Representative Williams teaches a valuable lesson, and one worth studying in ti ese days of extravagance and departure from the he rest simplicity ot former times. Blue jeans means honesty and economy. Say what we may about reforms, they will not begin until those who mould the policy of the government, and are conspicuously before the people, set the example, and exhibit the moral heroism to wear blue Jeans, If necesiary, in the capital of the nation, in the national balls of legislation, in the governor's mansion, or in the White House itself. Te Journal says the Republican party iir.n.inti fha 1 n f ol 1 crnn t. rvrncrPsalvP. high-toned, honest and honorable class of citizens," and the Democratic paity repre sents "the reckless, revolutionary and ir responsible classes." The J ournal'a party held a meeting last Tuesday evening, and although there were many Democrats present no disturbance was made or Insult offered the speakers. On Wednesday even ing the Democracy had a meeting, and this "high-toned, honest and honorable class of Citizens," known as tbe Republican party, caused some ol its representative men to throw rotten eggs at the assembled Democracy. The Journal's idea of decency Is a perverted one. It is raised vouchers lor Republicans and rotten eggs for Democrats. These things are eminently decent in the estimation of the organ. Slate Bights. F.verv lawver knows, what Mr. Blaine did not know, that it is Impossible for the supreme Conrt even to lay down the exact limit of federal authority in other worcs, 10 say where federal authority ends and state authority begins. Nevertheless, every lawyer, Republican or Democrat, knows that the states hava a aDhere within which it laws operate. and npon which the federal government can not encroach. Indianapolis Sentinel. Well. now. profound person , win you piease to teli us whether any cross-roads magistrate has the right to search tbe United tatea mail-bags tor Incendiary matter? And tell ns also, please, whether the sphere In which state laws oce ate Is so large that the states have a right to nullify the laws of the United tates, or to secede from the Union? It Is high time the Northern Democrats should cease to defer on the sr.bject of the limits of "federal authority" to the Confederate hairsplitters, wbo mean all the time that tbe pecpie oi me umtea esiaves ui uui wubuiuic nation, bat are a confederacy. Cincinnati Commercial. It is a pity that Northern newspapers ol Republican proclivities can not under stand the difference between a right to 89cede from the Union and other state rights. We ask the Commercial if there is such a thing known to the constitution as tbe reserved rights ot a state. Did the people, in forming the constitu tion, reserve any rights to the states as well as define the Jrigbtj of the Federal UcionT It occurs to our memory that s ;m9 such measures were embodied in the constitution. In forming the Federal Union the people did not form the nation. The term nation is carelessly and Indiffer ently used as a synonym for government by the Commercial. Tbe nation existed, the American nation, before the Federal Union, which gave It a general government more perfect than the articles of confederation. Tbe American nation had grown up Into a sort of unity in language, customs and so fortb, by virtue of Its geographical position and community of interests. It might have adopted a monarchist government as well as a republican. The latter was the choice, and the people determined to commit to tbe government certain rights and tbev determined to reserve others to the states. Tbe exact line of these rights It was impossible to define absolutely in the space of an ordinary constitution. Gen eral principles are laid down, and by these the general government and federal legislation were expected to be guided. The question of state rights, la much broader than tbe single question of a right to secede. That question being indeterminate In the instrument itself, the arbitrament of the "word bas decided it, and this question la settled. It la disputed nowhere sod is no longer a practical question. The generalsentiment of the people. North and S )uth, is that secession is rebellion. It is true that there were fire eaters In the South and abolitionists of tbe North who claimed this right before the war, and many Republican papers, notably tbe Journal, of

this city, following the lead ot tbe New York Tribune, were willing to concede to the South the right claimed, and favored letting them go, but a different counsel prevailed and tbe question was settled by the sword. But there are other questions ot right that the state governments have never yielded, and never wilL The present and past Republican administrations have inyaaded well defined rights of tbe states, grossly violating therein tbe constitution of the United Stale, under the special plea tbat this is a nation. Tbe placing of federal troops la states not in rebellion, under tbe force bill, breaking up Legislatures and the like, are gross usurpations of tbe federal government, and violations of state right?. Whenever Republican newspapers understand the true meaning of the term nation, and apprehend that there ate other rights besido the right to secede, there will cot be such blustering rage eyery time a statesman cr editor u&ea the term state rights.

Republicans vs. Williams. It will be an interesting dlvertisement for some time flow to watch tbe endcavois and frantic efforts of the Republican press of the state to befoul and besmear tbe rep utation of this gentleman. There is very little logic or connected argument in tLe tirades of the Journal or Its lesser satellites throughout the state. Confederate Democracy, Rebel Democracy, Democratic Lies, are tbe only stock in trade which they posses?, and these captions are paraded daily to attract the roving attention of all good Republicans or to win tbe wavering affections of the harassed and perplexed "Independent."Ben Hill, the poor sorehead from Georgia, went over to James D. Williams' seat and, like any other man wbo was possessed of. the ordinary impulses ot courtesy, made bold to congratulate him on having received tbe nomination for the governorship of his state. The sensibilities of the Journal are outraged at the rebellious and disloyal incident and it further suggests tbesd two as a "Confederate Centennial Ticket." It always bad Its doubts about the honesty and integrity ot Jim Williams, but. soon after faying been caught In the act of handshaking and being felicitated on his nomination by Ben Hill, of Georgia, the fact of his being a seditious and dangerous not to say incendiary Individualls established beyond successful controversy. It doesn't occur to the Morton trumpet tbat there can, by any possibility, exist a state of courtesy, good feeling and gentlemanly bearing among men o diverse views on tbe floor of Congress, and the very fact that Uncle Jimmy didn't instantly retire to wash his bands and fumigate with disinfectants his blue jears suit after the polluting contact with the crack-brained Georgian is a very startling evidence ef the political affiliation of this unhappy old man with tbe "implacable and rebellious Hill." Uncle Jimmy's blue home-spun, too, is not ap proved by truly good Republicans. It !s a singular and conspicuous mode of dress" and indicative of "pinchbeck pretention" to honesty and Integrity. We trust that no reference was intended or a double entendre directed towards any late Republican senatorial contestant by tbe unguarded use of tbe word on the Journal's part, but it does recall a lingering memory of Pinch back and Morton and their touching and paternal intimacy during the .late contest. Par n&Me fra irum. Even the soothing and emollient influences of tbe Centennial year which all patriots and honest lovers of their country desire to hall as the era of recon ciliation and a truly national spirit of sym pathy and concord la not sufficient to assuage the sectional and insane party-bit terness of the followers and henchmen of the "war governor," and if an Indiana rep resentative on tbe floor of Congress, in tbe blessed year of liberty, 1876, sa far forgets himself as to accept tbe congratulations of a brother member from one of tbe original thirteen states, op his anticipated political preferment, why he must be crushed un der the popular cry of "treasonable associations," bad company and more rebel Democracy ctufL The judgment of all right-thinking men, however, will pene trate tbe thinness of these puerile and con temptible assaults on an honest and worthy son of our state. The American people are tired of war clap-trap as a means of diverting tbe attention from party rascality and official thievery, and the blessed Republican party will have to realize, sooner or later, that the policy of the day is to be one of reform and the correction ot shameful abuses in the administration of oar government rather than a ridiculous howling of rebellion and the beating of drums as an accompaniment to wholesale official stealing and disgraceful public plundering. Sonnd Words la tbe Utlea Convention The presidential campaign is growing In Interest and warmth every day. Tbe people are becoming aronsed everywhere. Tbe Republican party begins to realize tbe stubborn fact tbat it is impossible for tbem to brio 2 forward a prominent rcan whoee garments are not soiled by direct connection with the infamous record the party has made slice it came into power, or by complicity with some act or outrage which can not bear tbe light of investigation. As a consequence, as they are brought forward they are retired, or, what amounts to the same thing, they are vehemently opposed by some of their own partizan upon tbe ground that their record will not bear scrutiny. . Blaine, Morton and Conkling have been virtually killed in advance, and Bristow, wbo is simply known as a detective, has aa little chance as tbe others. Under such circumstances the outlook is gloomy for the Cincinnati convention. It raa'.ters little, however, to the Democ

racy who is named by tbe Cincinnati Convention. The coming triumph of the Democratic party rises Infinitely above all personal considerations, and this feature of tbe contest was brought into deserved prominence by Governor Seymour in bis speech at Utica. In closing his remark, the distinguished statesman said : In conclusion, I say once more to the Democratic r arty and to our Republican friends, we propose to enter into t bis contest not for the purpose of sbowiDg which party Is the most ignoble, not merely for tbe purpose of bringing discredit up' n them, not with a view of gaining a victory b-cause they have gone wrong 1 scorn such a victory on the part of the Democratic party but we Intend to win tbls victory because we mean to show that we are more fit to hold power. We have the better claims, not because you are so bad, but bet anse we have the positive virtues to enable us to carry on this government, and until we do sbow that, I lor one pray to Uod tbat we may never come lntw powe It Is because I believe that now we have this revival of pub lc morality and thH refreshing of tte purer sentiments ot the people and an enlarged Intelligence with regard to the evils of bad government, that I stand before yoa at this moment buoyed up with tbe conviction that for many years to come we are to have a better government, a better people, a better condition of thing and a more active and earn et patriotism; and that Is to be brought about because we have returned to the priuc -pies and to the wisdom of ocr fathers acd to the great principles which the Democratic party has ever nptieid.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY. A 1) VICE TO HARRISON. Cincinnati Commercial, Ind. Now, if Mr. Harrison ha anything in particular to say, he should spak up cheerfully and to tbe point, net with deep ''reluctance," as In tbe case of Bartley, but promptly and to the point, like Mr. Marsh. ADAMS ILL TREATED. Memphis Avalanche, Dem. Charles Francis Adams Is always a candidate for president, but nobedy accuses him of ever having stolen any thing or invested In "crooked" bonds. Why this partiality toward all the other statesmen? Xashvllle American Dem. It shows also that there Is no room for the "independent" party which nominated Landers bo me months since. In tbe exEectation of forcing tbe action of the lemocracy. This leaves the issue clesr and simple against aadical usurpation and corruption, THE KIND OF A MAN TOOMBS IS. Memphis Avalanche, Dem. We learn from a Georgia paper tbat Geo. Toombs called on President Grant during his late visit to Washington. To men ol Toombs' stamp there is but a step between extremes. Wben Toombs quits holding the South op by the tail he will make just one jump and land in tbe bosom ot Northern ultraism. That's tbe way they all do. THE SCHOOL FUND QUSTION. Cincinnati Enquirer, Dem. A Republican general assembly of Ohio bas passed a law by which the Israelite, tbe Catholic, and tbe non-orthodox people generally are to be taxed to support a university in which a particular form of religious Instructions is to be taught a form in which tbev do not believe. Has the Republican party gone over to tbe pope? Are they in lavor of dividing the school fund among the religious sects? IHK WORST FORM OF C-E8ABISM. Memphis Avalanche, Dem. Tbe New York Herald, which started tbe agitation over "Ciesarism," now earnestly nrges tbe president to practice it to tbe extent of using his official power to secure Senator Conkling'a nomination by the Cincinnati convention. This would be a practical illustration of one of the worst forms of "Csesarism." AN OMISSION BT BLAINE. The Cincinnati Commercial, Ind. We would be glad to believe tbat Mr. Blaine had been thorough in this matter, but, according to our information, there is an omission tbat should not be overlooked. We refer to tbe Joseph B. Stewart letter, explaining: to tbe officers of the company his disposition, in tbe course ot bis services as a Washington lobbyist, o! bonds Intrusted to him. . BEFORM WITHIN THE PARTY. New York Tribune, Ind. If tbe alternative is death or reform, then, and not till then, shall we see "reform within the party." All good citizens will rejoice to see It. But no sensible person will waste praises on managers wbo are kicked into decency. Whatever credit there may be will belong to tbe voters who make it plain that the alternative Is reform or death. Brook v 11 le Democrat, Dem. A more acceptable ticket bas never been presented to the people of tbe state, and one that will carry more strength. It is American poetry in saying that Mr. Aldrlch's poem in the March Atlantic "has the easy, thorough workmanship which is getting to be commoner la American than in English poetry, with rather more distinct and solid subject than usual." GRANT AND THB SECRET SERVICE FUND. Chicago Times, Ind . The president's orders for this misappropriation of publio money were crimes of the yery gravest character. Unless a pres-l ldent is justifiable in robbing the treasury that is the plain English of It to secure his own re-election, there is no apparent possibility of justifying Grant's action In this matter. The committee having tbe evidence in band will doubtless report it soon, with recommendations for appropriate action on the part of tbe house. Nashville American, Dem. They call him "Old Blue Jeans" over there. They are organizing "Blue Jeans Cluts," and "blue jeans" la tbe campaign slogan of the Democracy, not only in In dlana, but tbey are catching the contagion over tbe border in adjacent states. Ii is a healthy honest sound. We sball doubtless hear much of it befor tbe year is- over, t is a premonitory symptom ol the reeurence of tbe old enthusiasm o! the Log Cabin and the Old Hickory campaigns, when tbls country was younger and more virtuous. THE CA RPET-B AGO EB&' WORK. Cincinnati Uaxette, Rep. Tbe troth is tbe Republican party in the Southern states has been broken down. not by native Republicans, but by the ging of carpet-baggers who went there with commissions, or to aeek offloe for the. purpose ot stealing. If these men had been called oft Ions ago, the Republican party of the South would be far stronger and purer than It is, and tbe Republican party of the nation would not have, been demoralized and comparatively helpless, as it was. in the face of pudiio opinion wben called upon to protect the down trodden colored people ei toe aoutn m me

rights guaranteed to them by the amended constitution and tnt l.wi passed in paV -

par - suance thereof. THE PARTY AND TTS MEMBERS. The World, tem.J They all are corrupt as individuals, but the sum of their corrupt Ion Is par y purity. This is sheer cowardice. Why, instead of teeking to dodgO account ability, does not the party shoulder all these scandals with the same frankness which Induced the dealer on Chatham street, ittent on selling a coat i t more than doubtful cleanliness to a customer who 8nifled suspiciously as he tried it on, io remark: "Perhaps you tink dose coat schmells? It ish not dose coat dat scbmelis, it ish me." OLD BLTJE JEANS. GRANT AND THB SUCCESSION. St. Louis Republican, Dem. The question ot the succession is belüg determined in a tumultuous discission, in which the president takes no part; in which there is n o Fart for tlm to take, for tbe great authority over the succession which he was admitted to have, a short time ago, no longer exis. Where and how it bas gone, bis personal friends would find it difficult to explain without recalling events which both tLey and be may well wiah to forget lorever. A REBEL SYMPATHIZES. Buffalo Courier, Dem Is Secretary Ta't a "rebel sympathiser?" Ac the request of a committee of the "excontederate" House, he is cutting down estimates tr the war department no less than 6,000,000. If the design on tbe part of the committee to make reductions deserved opposition from the "loyal" organs, why is not the same purpose denounced wben evinced by tbe successor ol Belknap? Furthermore, should not the Senate reject the reduced estimates just as that body has refused to concur in other measures of retrenchment approved by the House? INDIANA AND THB REFORM ELEMENT. Chicago Corresponcence N. T, Times. It is conceded in tbe West, removed as we are from the "machine" politics which bas Washington as Its base of operations, tbat the best chance of Republican victory is to be found in tbe strongest possible appeal to the reform element, and in the nomination of the man most likely to command the confidence of tbe people in this respect It is safe to say tbat Western delegations to the Cincinnati convention, with tbe possible exception of that of Indians, will go tnere witn this idea mainly in view, and will be ready to sacrifice any individual preferences that they may have to carry it out COMMISSIONER DAVENPORT'S PLUNDER. (The World, Dem.) Little Johnny Davenport can't have everything to please him. It looks very much at tbe present writing as if to tne illegality in taking that money there had been added a great deal of Irregularity in spendinz it. Little Johnny Is unable to produce the nosary voucners for tbat 135,000. But let him not therefore be troubled,, for has he not heard of tbe hotel keeper who, wben he was called npon to turnitth an itemized bill to a royal guest, aftersetting down all that be could, con cluded with tbe entry, To kicking up a d d lass generally ?" MOETOITS MONEY MATTERS ANOTHER LAME DUCK IN THE SLOUGH OF DESPOND. ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE'S HONB.VTY LMPCONES ALLEGED MI 'APPLICATION OF TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. Tbe Washington special to the New York World of Saturday says, concerning the war governor's gouge: Several days ago a correspondent of the World was informed that there were Important documents in the second comptroller's office of tbe treas ury which would reveal another Republi can presidential candidate, Senator Mor ton, in an unpromising l'ght. Tbe correspondence, whatever it might be, was between Morton and one of tbe täte agent In Indiana during tbe war and is on file in the department- The facts ol tbe case, as alleged, ars these: In tte Thirty-seventh Congress an act making an appropriation to pay the expenses of transportation and delivering arms and munitions ot war to the loyal citizens of the states of which the inhabitants now are or hereafter may be in rebellion sgaineithe government ot tbe United States, and to provide for tbe expense of organizing them into companies,, battalions, regiments or otherwise, tor their own protection against violence, insurrection, invasion or rebellion, was passed July 31, 186L Two million dollars were appropriated under this act. It will be observed that the title Js very loosely drawn, and is susceptible of various consirnctions. Among tbo list of war expenditures, in connection with the above is-this item: "For supplying, transports, tion and delivery ot arms and munition! of war in states la rebellion against the government of tbe United States, O. P Morton, governor f Indians, f 250,000." INDIANA WAS NEVER IN REBELLION against the government of the United States, and it was a query why Morton should have had $250,000 wben tberawaa no purpose under the statute making tbe appropriation for which tbe money could have been legally expended. It was brought to tbe attention of tbe correspon- f d"?nt that in tbeladiana Legislaturaol 1861 some difficulty had occurred between tho Democrats and Republicans. Tbe-iwo parties wera a tie in tbe Senate and tie Demoocr at s had a majority In the Hoaw.. Tbe Republican senators broke tbe cuorum to prevent some party legislation, and the time of the session. slipped by mntU compelled to adjourn without the transaction oi any business. No appropriations wer madenot even for tbe expenses of running tbe state governments Everything seemed to.be In danger ol eoming to a ttandtlll la Indiana,, when Morton made a. trip to Wash iagtonand upon bis return to Indlanapor lrs he opened the paymaster's o2c8 and began te pay the expenses of the state government. No one except Morton's bosouk friends knew where he get the money; bat very few know to this day. The proper way to have obtained money to inn tbe state machinery would have been to convene the Legislature lor the purpose of passing appropriation tills. This the Radical Morton would not do, as THE LEGISLATURE WAS DEMOCRATIC. That Morton obtained bis money from the 12.000.000 appropriation above referred to is certain; that he misapplied 250,000 the
