WEDNESDAY. JULY 19.

Tilden aad Ting. refortnbavea synonymous Clover Bloom" In the Senti'nel to-day Is redolent of trupo tie genins. ; - . ' Tbe Journal says H is ' urijoumallstlc" lo Bay Myou He," bat Is thinks It very Journalistic to tro rlgrt on lytn. Thus saith the Lord, "preach the. preaching that I bid thee," bot Bylle prefers tna bloody eh'rt to th old, old tory. The State -Dfmorrat'c Convention of Missouri mettsat Jefferson City to-day with tlx candidates for governor in the field. Phelps chance ia regarded aa th9 best. Instead of helping to reft rm i:a party the Journal seems willing ttat tbe s'ealing should go on while it weeps over the lact that there were no negroes among the St. Louis deleeat. It worries Republicans beyond measure that Tilden stopped the peculations of tie New York ca'ial rlrg and thereby re 3ucd the sUte taxis from fl6.000.000 to $8,000.000 pr vr. The rfport ot the corjgressioLal committee sent S juth to cxtmUe the attach opm Twitcbell will rather spoil that individual form Republican martyr. We commend the readiDg of the repr rt to such as Lave been aheddine tears ovr Twi ehe'l. The S9na'.e galierus were packed with Morton's clarquei 8 more etJdCiUilly than the 83 of the Ciucinna'i Convention, judging from the applaudirjg parentheses witn which his bloody shirt epeeca in the congressional proc-1Tes Is dotted. The New YorK ke:uwcu papers are desperately befogged over the exact degree of harmony between Governor Tilden and Governor Hendricks. It is a very easy mattf r to explain. They both lavor reform and endorse the St. Louis platform, which demands the repeal ol the resumption c1ns o Rerman's bill. Mr. Ladders ua& ioc irpora..d hia ideas on the 18904 ot silver coin, which failed to obtain recognition from the committee bavins the bill in charge, in a resolution presented yesterday. The resolution calls lor the utilisation of the gold aad silver coin now in the treasury, and the establishment of the old silver dollar upon a Joll legal tender footing. Dr. Btylias, tu his last tfljrt at the prostitution of the pulpU, complains that tne grave Of a refined wouaar, against whom no accus Ion "was ever brought, was torn open and" her memory outraged by laughing at b r funeral as at the funeral of a hone. Dr. Bay lias makes the mistake Cf confoundlDg the funeral with the grave of the refined woman and her memory. Bay lis ia responsible lor the funeral. The outrage was in that. It wool J have disgraced the bouts of even a dead ckaes No word has appeared in these cclamxi rt fleeting on the woman or her memory. It was allabfnr-t rn'rtcons fooeral. We are proim-bd nuueroü3 Influx ot distinguished Eoglish visitor to the Centennial aitr Parliament adjourns. Among the list of notable names representing every shade ot poliiical and social distinction, published in this morning's dispatches as probable via'tors, perhaps that ot the republican baronet, Sir Cnarles Dl'.ke, will attract most attention. John Walter, M. P, and proprietor ot the London Times, will come a' so and eee our metropolitan papers reeled off on his famous pre?s, In the Centennial grounds. O.ber prominent members ot Parliament who will be present are Jacob Bright, brother of the Manchester Li bera1; Mündel la, the Boone Ruler, and J. O'Conor, Power. A bill Introduced into the House yesterday ccntempates a radical claige in the government ot territories bv mtklng all terrtor'al offlses elective. Its intention, perhaps, Is good in eodeavcring to cut cfl extcuiive patronage and thus reduce corruption, but the proposition 1 too much ot an anomaly In American policy to prevail. It would destroy the distinc tion between territories and states and cheapen the biggest privilege of the latter by ex'-ending it to tair-civtlized, irrespon Bible communities. When a terr't ry 1 tufScient'y aJvauced for local self gov ernment it is ready to be received Int the family of states. Until then; it can afford to be goverrel fro n Washington. The case of toe notorious . Frances Thompson of Memphis, whose testimony, In the garb of a w man, gate the cue tt the mot beart-rendiog t-u'rage literature that newspapers like tue Journal ever pre pared for Normern f eadera,fully Illustrates the average Southern' outrage. Tots 1 n fa mous wie cn,';oilo wing the moetdisrepu table railing that curses society in the low est purlieus u the large eitle, appeared before the inve-algating committee of Con grees In 1&67, In the gro and cbarac: er o a respectable and honest waaber-woman, and detailed how ahe aod her companion were outraged. Upon ber testimony the committee rendered a terribl report that thrilled the hearts of each Northern read ers as believe euch stones aa the Journal relates. A short tims since she as ar rested for an intsmous crime, and the low wretch was proven to be a man, and sent on the chain gang ot Memphis. This ia a fair specimen rt treoorae business. The Houe Tuesday wa the scene of a

qaettion, precipitated by a blatant flauet er of the bloody ahlit frcm South Carolita mmed Smalla, who dragged the matter lito a discussion ot the Mexican bordr

bill. Several Northern Republicans took op the cue. and there, was, a scene in the chamber that would have deligbtBd the heart of Blaine. Itwai reserved for Lamar of Mississippi to make the most dignified, .temperate and iair-mitded speech in which, while deploring the killing ot the Degrees and calling lor the punishment of the perpetrators, he calm'y and withoot the rant or. passion conspicuous on the other side, traced the cause and responsibility ter auch outrages to its prr p ?r aoorce, the sham and spurious Republican' governments that have been set op ln theSöutb at the point of the bayonet. It is scarcely conceivable how one not blinded by partisan prejudice can avoid seeing the Justice of holding tne southern state governments responsible for each .outrages . as occur. To begin with, lt is only in statea upon which carpet bag government? hate been thrust by the Republican policy of . rest ration that these riots occur, and In the states which have teen mott thoroughly "reconstructed" the outburst are most frequent and severe. In those states in whicu the pet pie of the country have recovered the power which was taken from them perfect quiet reigns. .'Arkansas, once s) turbulent, is now peaceful and prop.rous under Democratic rule. No more is heard of trouble In Mississippi Bloce General Bullet's carpet-big brother-in-law has been forced to resign, and tne state ia once more in the hands of its own citizens. It is only in S iuth Carolina and Louisiana that carpet bag and negro government remain In force, and it is only in the se states that outrages and riots occur. The lesson from these facts should be plain enough, but there la no blindness I ke that ol partisan hale, and we shall probably continue to hear of the responsibility ol the Democracy for the outrages which their rule would wholly suppress. The Hon. lraukl'n Landers. Two year j ago the Democracy, of the capital district selected Fiacklin Landira aa their candidate lor Congrea. lie hid served a term in the State Senate at a time ot great public peril, aad bad so conducted himself aa to command the confidence of the people, but h a public lite had been too short for him to be generally known throughout the state. The district was Republican by a large majority, and only the sanguii.e and hopeful members of his party believed his election possible. HI competitor was a man of large public experience, ot respectable talents and good personal character. No breaches, therefore, coulr be made In the Republican lines on ac count ol the watt oi abilliy or integrity in hia opponen'; nevertheless, Mr. Landers entered the contest aa one not without hope. He lntosed Into the canvass all the eoergy and vim woich characterize him, determined to win it success were possible. He made a close canvass of the distric, saw that hia prty was properly rgan zvd; that its full strength was util rd, aa that every Democrat went to the polls on e'ection day. A political leader no more than a military cöinmauder can succeed in battle fculeaa his forces are properly organized, drilled and handled, and he who is beat able to do this is the man who wies. No Candida' lor Congress in Indiaua t wo years ago organized bis dis:rict so well as Mr. Lnderc did the Seventh. In addition to hia ability an organizer be proved himself an elective stumper. In his col test with Gen. Cobnrn be showed himself a debater of no mean pretention, He diacusei the cjueetlon at iasue with ingenuity aad force, and never allowed his competitor to get. the be ter ot bim in argument. He addressed the people iu language terse and easily understood. Without being an orator, as tt e word is usually understood, he is oue of the most effective speakers tba ever took the stump in Indiana. He beat Geo. Coburn at the polls, and in due time went to Washington. There are many men, who, when they are elected, forget the pledges they made tt e oeople on the hustings, and vote lor measures whic i they condemned upin the s.ump. No so with Mr. Lenders. He has be in faithful to the pledge be made when a f a id id ate, ard has never given a vote inonsisieot with the doctrines be then advocated. This has endeared hin to the people, for they love a man woo will do waat he say aod vote as be Ulks. Mr. Landers 1 ai proven himself to be such a mn, hence bis popu!trity His fidelity to principle has been sucb as to attach to lum many men not identified with the Democratic priy, and be has buea able to hold hia pary lrlenda while this was bein jf done. When Mr. Lniers was nominated for Congress in 1374, the Journal and the News, as well aa moot of the Republican politicians of his district, endeavored to make the public taiisVd be was aa iguorant boor. As aooa as the canvats waa fairly opeo hey changed tneir to De, and declared him to be an Ingenious and cunning demagogue, When It clobei they were forced to admit that they had miaded him, for he had proved blmaelt able to beat one of tne strongest men of the Rjpablican party, in a district where the Democracy was largely in the minority. To-day they understand him better, aud know that there are bot lew men of his powtr and force of character In the state. Should be be a candidate agal3. bis opponents will not be pt to miktbe mistake they did two years ago, lir they know bla mattle as well as his bottom. Thev kno that what he under

takes to do he doe?, aod ttat when he cling to this indefensible policy, the peomakea a re.ee. he mikes it to win. He is pte should rebuke them and repudiate

stretch, and tool tn the home run.;

This they know, therefore ibey are learn that be may be enU red lor the s weeptak the ereat race which cm es cfl next fall. Their fears are not without reason, but as to-morrow will determine the ma' ter we will not add to their alarm by predicting what the convention will do. It may be well, however, to remind them of bis fidelity to principle, and to the pledges be made betöre hie election, and to aert that such things usually bring their reward. When the war broke out in 1861, and for yeara before, the s a e of Massacbasetts was the headqoarters of extrem anti-slavery Radicalism. No other state was so bitterly hated by tte Southerner, no other Yankee was regarded ts quite f-o flagrant a maniao as the Massachusetts Yankee. There was rfaon for this. Gar risoo, Phillip, Parker, Sumner, everybody ot leading power in the realm ot mind and reform was arrayed In extreme hostility to the system of sUvery. Aud when open hostilities began, this s ate was foremost in the fiht, and it trorpj the otjec:s of bitterest execration In the South. In fact, It my be said that Massachusetts and South Carolina r' presented t tie ex trtme elements of the local "unpleasant cess " Is It not a little remarkable that now, after the war is over. It happens that at these two points of Inters wt passion heat the true pplrit of reonciliatlon 1 first manifested in Its genuine form? There is no bloody shirt in Boston. Ia that hot-bi oi RadicU ideas the war ia thing of the past, and its wicked spirit bss fled the place, bince the Ceatsnnlal cele brstlon of the battle of Bunker Hill, animosity is dfal and burled; fraternitj, sincere and earnest, has taken Its place. Republican papers there, lestead of striving to stir up the bitter dres of eectiocal hatred, denounce that method as "ond tactics." Listen to the remarks of the Boston Globe of last Saturday: There se lrdy Indications that some of the Rnblicun nwt.piiperH ard stamp sixran era are going in try to (au int'i il.'e tne old war spiri'faud reap prty advantage bv a p wall to eciial feeiitigs which are rast dug nut nod oaut le be allowed to diai peur ltuge b'-r aa soon aa poHhiiile.

There, now, is a good and salutary leason for the Journal and Dr. Bavliss. Tnese Massacbuset s folks are radical atd etralgbttorward, but they have brains also, and they place Bound reason above mere prtjadlceand Da ston. They flbt for tb right, but when the battle is over and they have won, thty are willing to quit and drc p the quarrel. The bond ot friendship between the Noith and S mth has ben on first to heal wbtre the breach was deepest aod sorest. All the past week has been one of ovation and festivity in the entertainment of several hundred representatives of the . Southern states, who came North by tbe specia invitation of a gentleman, Mr. Wm. E.

But cere in Indiana, where tbe Illustrious Morton, tbe Nemeeis of Louisiana, beas say with bis party, there Is adifJren spirit. Instead of reooocilia ion, peace and good will, tbe breath of bate, war and implacability is kept hot by special exer tions.

truly disloyal te the national welfare ss

the war of secession, deserves the frown of good men wherever it is adopted, whttter by tbe prt si or in the p j'pit. It ia un worthy the intelligence of the age and the epmt of a Christian people. The rebuke which comes from Massachusetts is both timely and signiflcait. Republicanism there la of an entirely different color from the Journal-Fax 1'fs type. Dr. Bayllss as Politician. The recect political harangues of Dr. Baylies are In keeping with his previous history. He is bitterly hostile to tbe Democratic party, ard permits no opportunity to fs;Pp? him without taking a tilt at those who vote the Democratic ticket vvntmer it oe at tne funeral or one upon whom death has laid bis icy hand, or in bis pulpit of a blessed Sunday evening, be is equally happy, equally vitnp rative and equally mendacloui In h's attacks upon the Democratic party. The Twitcbell matter is not tbe firet thing tbat bas caused Dr. Bayllss to ahy hia cantor Into the poll: ical ring, take bis orner, and In tbe con tett fctrike below tbe belt. Morrisey and Qeenan would c insider it disreputable to send b'ows where tbe rule of tbe pr(z ring 8a y 8 they sbou d net be dealt, but tbe political puglli-ttot Trinity Church gives a foul lien with as much gusto as ne ea t his Sunday dinner. Tbe discovery of Belknap's crime was utilized by tbe pulpit to enferce lessons ot economy and public rec ltude upon tbe poople. Many dlsconrses were dell? ered by the clergy of this city, which were calculated to do much good. The public conscience had been elastic for yeara, and tbe lessons in culcated from the pulpit served to quicken and make It sensitive to tbe corruptions of tbe day. Very few of these pulpit deliverences were of a put fan character, the speakers fueling that the occasion demanded they should rise to a higher plane than tbat occupied by partisan speakers aud stump orators. There was, however, one notable exception. Thia exception was Dr. Bylla, then, as now, the champion of Republican corruption and tbe calumniation of Southern people. We regrtt that, as publicjournalists, it become our duty to severely criticise tbeseutU ments of one who is a dietic gulsbed minister of an loflueotlal church, but we shall not shrink from the task ; for when a minter of the gospel, in a puolic address, whether at a fuberU or io a church teeas to give bis words a partisan bias and make votes for a political partv, he divests himself of tbe protection which his sacred offi -e throws around blm and becomes as estimate a utjct of criticism as though ha were a layman. In his sermon in Trinity Church on tbe Belknap scandal, Dr. Btyliis went out of bis wry to Btrike the Democratic party. By giving his sermon to the prers be waived tbe Immanlty which his position gave him, aod be will have to take b a chaccea tor public criticism qually with those who have no pulpits at their command. In tbe sermon to which we refer Dr. Bayll8 labored harder to strengthen the faith of the Republican hearers in their party than in religion. He designated mocrata a "(he men of 1801" and sought to bt&3 opprobrium upon tbem because some of them were once engaged in a re bellion against the government, conviently forgetting or ignoring the fact tbat many of the b'ga priests of the Rid leal party wore the gray In tbe war for the Union. We would ask Dr. Bayllss if there were no other means known among men for tbe salva'ion of tbe country, would he be willing to accept salvation from "the menol 1861?" We would alo ak him bow anyot the exposures ot Ridical cor i run lots would have been made bad it 1 not been for "the men of 1861," as he choosea to call all those who vote tbe Dem cratic ticket? In his sermon he a Ä 111 arso d ss tnoogo tne uoisuap corruption was an isolated case and that "the party of moral ideas" abould not suffr on account ot 1. Now tbat fur ther exposures bave shown the otter rotteooesa of bis ptrty, will be still refuse to be saved throogl aoy other means than the Repotlicao par y ? It would seem so. for he espouses the cause of one who baa been shown to be unworthy of c modera tion by boueet and decent m-n; aod bis espousal of th'a man caa hve nootber foundation than the fact tbat be is a R dicl grind r of tbeou'.rag mill. Toerefore, it ia sate ti asmme that Dr. Bajllsa would rat er suflr condemnation holding on to the eosaauloed garments of a Siuthera carpet bagger than to be eleva ed to bliss in company ol any one who one wore toe gray aod does not vote tbe Republican ticket. Hi paitiatn taal is worthy or recompense as well of commendation, and we specially otnmend bim to Captain Fnedley, coalrmaaof the Republican cen tral eo in aalt tee. Ia no way could he place ols money where It would do more good t an In enlisting tbe Btyiissesoi ms party in tne active support of Haye-, and If the Iodlauspolis divine is suitably rewarded tor hia labor, hi political prototypea.calllng buna brother, will "Kally 'roaod the flg. b-y, Vt Hi ra T once atain." )h II Mlseat iUtliMat. We have betöre us be circular of Messrs.

From these figures Messrs. Dun & Co. are inclined to encourage the belief that we have seen the worst effects ot tbe present depression, so far as failures are concerned. Tbe ciicnlar ssys: It Is true that business continues in a very depressed conuln-.n, that tbe results ol trade, wi b rreexptloua, have bten exceeding y onsatUfacory; that values continue todeclne. and tbfft oicertainty and anxiety txlst in all quarter. Yet in tbe lace of ail tots there is com tort In the rt flection thtt the cau-es which produced thl condition of thing have been a Irrupt completely revered.

Tblngs bave rearbed too desoera e a state to per r.it iuch a hope The clrcumstaares of an excitlDg political campaign are not favor ble to he growth of eonadence, and tbe re urn of business to Its woe ted channels. But tbe com ng autumn will, It 1 believed, aflord hopeful ludlcatiOLS fyr the future. Another year of great productive powtr his t eeu glveu to 1 arm era and planters, ?.nd tte country must be greitly eurlched by the realization of the agricultural wealth wltii which ltiiow teem. Internal iDdebted-ne-s Is not excewtive; tocbs of gooda lu ail quarters have seldom been so small; prices ouve touched a poiDtfO Ut beiow cost of pro ducilon, tht an Improvement lnva'necan b -rdiy fail to take place, aod It seems lie po.Ible that circumstances could exist in -re lavorable to lmpruve the condition ot the legitimate trade of uppling the wants or ihe people tban now prevail. Speculation and expanded operation Involving large and permanent lnvesinnult aie uot likely o receive much encouragement. Bu', there ought to ba HjU increased dmund lor goo js or necessity aud merit, and wiibtbis should follow better reports of tbe condition of ihe various pat u of ine country than we are now able to present. The power oi absorption by a vast people In condition to purchase and pay' for mercband.s-i is very ereat; that power bas re-cued lis lowest exercUe now; yet, as will be seen, we have bad letts fat urea In tbe last three months than lor the previous quarter, and tbe fact that there am manyainsota more hopeful condition of business la ULdeniaole. By referring to tbe tabulated statement ot figures la the various states, we find tbat for the 3 ear 1875 the failures in Indiana numbered 145 with liabilities amounting to f 1 976,883, while for the same time in 1878 tre numberof failures was 156 with liabilities amounting to $2,13 ,421. The Pulpit and Politics. - The Journal countines to defend tbe prostitution of his sacred calling by Dr. Bayliss, and accuses tbe Sentinel of attemp'ing to confuseXbe public mind on the quet-tlon. No tensible reader will be confuted by what the Sentinel has said. Though tbe Journal has persistently tried ti misr. present the criticism .of the Sentinel, it haa not succeeded in dissipating from tbe public mind tbe gross and indecent act ot Dr. Bayliss' In dragging into tbe fm eral discourse which he was invited to deliver, a partisan speech filled with tbe most scandalous falsehoods concerning a people whom be has not brains enough to understand or j beert enough to treat Justly. We charge here upon tbe blatant demagogue that he had do trustworthy information concernlog the matters that led to the death of Mrs. Willie, even If the attack upon ber r l at lv es hastened her death. Dr. Baylis did not know whether It was tbe political friends or enemies of Twitcbell tbat made tbe attack upon bim. Dr. Baylies mgbt Just as well coa'ge a murderous spirit opon the pet p!e of New Jersey, because three mea tbere a few days ago, in a spirit of fretzy, slaughtered six persons. He might just as well cnarge upon the people of Ohio a licentious disposition, end call them the aoettors of raplie .and murder, because a man decoy ed two or three women Into the woods near New Richmond, Ohio, ard ootiazed and killed tbem. He might aa well attack tbe wbole ministerial profession tor immorality because ot the Brooklyn scandal. He bad tbe same right to do either of tbtse as ha had to charge political proscription on tbe people of Louisiana because of tbe assassination of Twitcbell and his friend. Tbere had been reports from theSomth extensively circulated oo much bet' er authority than Twitcbell himself, tbat it was not known who had made the attack. Twitcbell himself can not tell who It was, or will nor, and perhaps for the good reason tbat it was led by the brother of the lady be Is eaid to have wronged. . The report ot tbe committee sent by Congress to inveitlga'e the matter upon the ground, does sot -decide wbo the men were. But the very bad character and administration ot this Twitcbell had led tbe committee io believe that tbe members of hia own party had'aCne tbe deed. We ref3r the reader to a synopsis of tbe re pert n another column, which was s'gned by both the ReDubllcan and DemocraMc members of the congressional committee. This report shows that Twitcoell's acts were of such a cbarac -er as to provoke the the enmitv of een hisownX arty.

He did ciplea of humanity or Christianity moved him. The Christian spirit was not In his discourse. It was the doctrine ot hate. It violated tbe decalogue in bearing false witneee, and In the absence ot that charity tbat becomes the GoBpel of ChrUt. But if every wcrd uttered by Dr. Bayllss were true, if the Southern Democracy bad In mass concocted tbe scheme, and managed by hired agent the asassioatlon, nothing of which Is troe, even then Dr. Baylisa bad no right aa a mlnlater of the gospel on a fooeral occasion, employed In the sacred rites of sepulture to make a political harangue about it. That should have been left for tbe press and tbe political speaker. It had no business in tne sanctuary. It was a profanation of sacred things. It was an Indecency over the body of the dead. Bayllis d:s6raced himself la utterirg that harangue, and ' in rtpeatlng it in BuLstance on Sunday night, and bis audience disgraced themselves and the place of worship in applauding blm. The condutl of tbia reverend doctor will net be approved by men of right Christian epulf, and we can Bay to him, that however mach the Bcandlou3 politiciaos who hive no regard for aicred things approve and applaod, he does not represent the Christian seutiment of Indianapolis In his conduct. They go to church to worship, to the hustings for political harangues. fie may have brains, but bis head Is nol well balanced. He may know belter, but cooscience does not seem to guide him.
