WEDNESDAY. AUGUSTS. The cord tinlueus round Orth. Tbe latest from tbe committee of foreign af fairs shows that the evidence which would tell most heavily agair.st Mr. Orth and tbe rascality of construction of ths mixed commission that passed upon the claims has disappeared. Orth hat been to Wash in ton. Jesse B. Ntwuouie of Bartholomew county, nominated fr Co ogress by the Republicans ol tbe Third district, has not hitherto been extensively famous In this state, and it is net likely that tbe result the election next October will leave him any more notoriety unless it cornea by being defeated bv 10 000 mjirity. B 5!! I It tbe people oi Iuuiana should deter mine to enter upon the building of a new State House during the next four years wfcat tax payer, would rather have Ood love S. Orth in the governor' office than honest old Jimmy Williams? Thia is practical way of putting tbe question that will leave the lobby fraudulent a' aim speculator far in the back ground. While tbe lenders ol tbe Republican party of this statte are in a stew over the question, wheiber it will do to rif-k Orth as their candidate for governor with his dishonest record, the Democracy look with pride upon tbe reams old honest economist, James D. Williams. The people ask for reform and our ppjty points out the reformer, and tbey will elect him. Bluiord Wilson is not afflicted with cab inet courtesy scruples, and Is telling thiE before the special committee on tbe wbl-ky frauds. Unless he is bearing false witnet-s, which nobody will believe, his testimony places Grant, General Porter and Pierrepoct In a bad l'gbt. The latter gentlemen to shield Batock, involves Grant in woman scrape, which be Indignantly denies. The very papers wbich are now violent ly attacking O ovtroor Hendricks as a re lormei were formerly most luleome In hi praise. We preset, t elsewhere this morn lng some quota' ions of tbeir opinio-i ol him when be battled against the Tweed corruption and made his gallant fight against the caoal ring of New York. lie was net then a candidate for the preslden cy. That's tbe difference. The RepabiicaLS have in times past boasted ol tie respectability of tbeir party. Tbey do not claim much on that score this year. Tbej have some difficulty in mak ing respectability aod public plundering consist. Tee people somehow have concluded a swindler :s a swindler, whether be forges a private note, or defrauds a government, and Bicce tbe leaders of the party have been proven dishonest and corrupt, tbe respectability claim is not urged this year. The reasons we urge tbe building of the coal road are that; It will give us cheap coal. It will encourage manufacturers. It will mke our city a coal market. It can be built very cheaply. It runs through a region of splendid lumber. It strikes the best stone quarries in the state. It will bring block coal for smelting. It will bring gas coal. It will make coke cheap. It will bring wood at two thirds the present price. It will pay the stockholders. It will give us another road. I ill Increase tbe price ot rral estate. It will furnish labor for idle men. It will reviv trade. It will build up tbe city. It is tbe best enterprise the people can engage in. Heba tied landers. The New Yoik Times contains a letter from Indianapolis which may be considered as a rehasb of the matter published in the Cincinnati G.z tte some months ago againBt Governor Hendricks. We car. say to our Eastern friends that these garbled extracts Irom his speeches, th false and outrageous charges with reference to hi pestion during tbe war, and the whole compilation a? it sppeared in the Times is a scandalous misrepresentation of the truth of history. It is a singular feature of tbe presont politic-1 canvass that such persistent and bitter attacks should be nude upon a candidate lor vice president. Hitherto in a general canvass the vice presidential candidates Jiave not generally baen thejobjects of virulent attack, and as far as Wheeler is now concerned, though his record on subsidy legislation is as J a Icy as tbat of Blaine, yet only a a ray editorial here and there reminds the American peopJe that be is a candidate, while since the very day of hie nomination, Mr. Hendricks has beeu a chief p )lnt of attack by the Radical press. E.s pure and spotless record as a Conservative statesman affords no mark for their shafts, and tbey must needs resort to malicious slanders, misrepresentation . and falsehood to make soy point sgslct-t blm. Tbe editorial comment in the New York Times on the letter is ss infamous m specimen of mendacity as any article we have read In a dozen years. It falsifies the public record of Mr. Hendrtcks and grossly slanders the people of Indiana. Bach an ar icie ntanri itself. The base motive ot tbe writer 1a so plain tbat its falsehood In the mat'er la clearly evident. Not a inale feature of personal or political charac ter set forth in tbe article referred to la tree. it is by ai.o 4irputble means as tbls Jbat the Republican parry hope, to turn the

Irom the lrtbemes and issues dead and buried a dci9n years ago. It will not do. Tbe people are moviDg for reform, and Tilden and Hendricks are true representatives of this .'saue. Tbeir public records as servants ot the people are spotless. Tbey can not be Impeached. They had no part iu the custom house frauds of Hew York. They accepted no stock in credit mobllier schemes as the prJce of their icflueoce. Their bands are not stained with r-ribes for securing official positions for their friend, or procuring legislation fcr ringe. They do cot figure in fraudulent claims. Tbey aided no friends In straw bidding contracts. TLey bad no part in tbe gold gambling of Black Friday. They did not scare In San Domingo schemep, or Alaska contracts. Tbere is no nepotism to fear from toeir administration. All this alarms the ring scoundrels of tbe Republican party, and they want to figbt tbe canvass on war Issues and lying records of the political career of our candidates. But the pvp'e will not be turned away from the reform movement. They see the ad spectacle ot a besotted and dis honest man i the presidential ctair, they see a cabinet minister on the eve of con victiou for bribery, tbey see honest reform men displaced from effice by the introduc tion of partisan Incompetents, they see the Bristows, the Pratts and the Jewells laid aside, and the Camerons, the Cbandlers the Tyner.the Shepaerd, the Fishers, po litical bankrupts, promoted to their places, tcy see the treasure of the people wasted, tbe finances disordered, the pros perity of tbe country checked, and com mercial cotfijence impaired. Hence they call loudly lor relorin, snd will labor earn estly to elect reform-is to the head of the government. Lying stories en our can dldatea will rot divert the people from their perpesa. Revolutionary reforms never go bäckward. The Issue, Honesty or Dishonesty. Tbe Dimple question ot honest govern nnert n.w overiops all others. The ques orsot the paft can cot ccmelothssur Noe, wbfn tbe vital contest against polit ical sr.d personal d shonesty in these wbo control the government ia so all import ant. Year aittr year cur civil service Las been growing worse and worse. Those in control of our government have aided cor rupt schemes for robbing tbe treasury, and then suppressed Investigation, and tbe rascality has gone on and become worse each year. The nation ha suffered the terrible disgrace of seeing absolute corrup'lon at tbe very heada of departments. The navy department is rotten; the interior department baa its ring robbers, tbe trcaiary department it whisky thieves, tbe war department its poet-trader disgrace, tbe poetofflce department its straw bids. Grant's own hocestv is at a discount. Tbe rascality of his private secretary and tbe conviction of bis personal friends ot stealing tbe public revenue, shows that the evil of the times has reached the fountain bead, if indeed be is not tbe Bource of the prevailing corruption. The same men wbo have sustained the admin istration in these crimes against tbe state are now industrious y engaged in trying to place Hayes at tbe bead of tbe govern ed er t. No principle ol rsform Is involved in this. It is merely a a evasion to deceive the people. Tbe men wbo winked at corruption and engage! in it under Grant, will net favor reform under Hajes. Robe son is for Hayes, Cameron is lor Hayes Morton is for Hayes. The whole list of scheming plunderers in the country are toay the leaders of the Hayes party. They rill control his cabinet appointments, tbey win t-bape Lis policy. They will fill the offices) the? will perpetuate tbe shameless plundering of the j'Nc treasury tbat has hliber'o prevailed. . To divert the attention of the people rom tbis effort of these public corruptlonists, to perpetuate tbeir po wer under Hayes, tbe v strive to cover up their record and hoodwink tbe people by bringing forth the old war Issues. When the people ask for honest government and plead for reform, tbey tell tbem tbat tbere was a war a dozen years ego and tbat outrages are commit trd in the South, tbat Tilden was in the Cbi cago Convention, and tbat Hendricks did not spprove ail the treasures ot tbe government in subduing tbe rebellion. Wben the stupandous amount ot 1170,000,000 a pointed out as the sum tquandered by tbe navy department since Robeson became scrtary, since 1869, tbey reply that there ia danger tbat the negroes will be remanded to slavery, and there are some ol tbe old rebels In Congress, and therefore Hayes should be elected, snd tbe s ealiug go on. Tbat cry ot loyally, tbat t-krlrk over the bloody shirt, and tbe threadbare He tbat the Democracy opposed tbe suppression of tbe rebellion have been usedlcng enough to cover up the stealing tbat ha been systematically going on for yeats, and the people will be humbugged by th m no longer. The simple qutsilon now 1, ball honesty prevail In tbe government? Shall the dlahonest otnslala be ba driven from piwer? Shall there be reform? Tbe pledge of reform by the Hayes party is a pledge from tbe very men tbat n ed to be reformed themselves. The prty of Hayes aod tbe party of Grant Is one. Tbeir supporters are tbe same. Tbeir policy is tbe same. It ia against the Republican puty tbat the people must battle In seeking relief. In securing reform. It is tbe Republican party that has muddled the finances, tbst party's extraysgDce, mismanagement and robberies have j crested the huge publlcdebt. it snnuia do treated no longer. Tbe people want reform, and only another party can -secure lt. Tilden and Beadricki are reformers. Tbey are honest men. Tbey will brlcg relief to tbe peop1

A Growing- Financial Iune. Washington, Dtn., July 15, 18TC To tbe Editor of tbe tentlnel: Sir Will you be kind enough (through tbe columns of tbe Sentinel) to give a brief rekäme of the all ver question, statins wbatltae liver status vu duriDg tbe ante,bfUam Uy; wben and to what extent its lenal tender q nal ltles were abr Id ged. and the suust tnce and tffeciol tbe bill noyv before Conprrfw? bCBSCBIBEK. Tbe wish expressed by our correspondent is doubtless that of a large number of readers, and Illustrates the extent to wbicb public interest is awakening bn this new feature in tbe financial question. Tbe opportunity will be taken to combine a rough historical ontllne of the former position of silver coin In our monetary system, and in tbat ot tbe civilized world generally, with a view of tbe present statue of the question and ot existing and proposed legislation which baaraupon it. Various considerations of fitness have conspired to make coins of gold snd silver the currency ot the world ever since the necessity for a currency h s ex'sted, and the United States In adopting them s'mply took that standard of value upon wbich tbe world had agreed. Com

mercial embarrassments, more or less serious, have at various times arisen from tbe presence ot two standard, subject to varying degrees of fluctuation, but these have been obviated by varying tbe relative we'ght and fineness of the two coinages. Thus, pre vious to the discovery of America, the intrinsic value of silver relative to gold wes from one-eighth to one-tenth. The add! tionof the immense product of the silver mines of New Mexico and Peru to tbe world's stock in the sixteenth century, changed this relation and a movement to ward the depreciation of silver set in which necessitated material changes in the coinage to prevent tbe cbeaper metal driv lng the dearer out ot circulation into tbe melting pot. A fcimilar movement, but in the opposite direction, took place upon tbe opening of the California and Australia gold mines, the increase in the world's stock of gold somewhat appreciating tbe relative value oi silver, though it n?ver reached the old height. Twen'y years ago, tbe p'oportional value of silver and gold, welgbt for weight, was about as one to btteeo. Two causes, the demoneti zation of silver by several Eurupaan na tlons and the opening of the Bouanztmiuc s, have conspired to cheapen the former metal until now the relation stands one to gbtesn. TLe equilibrium of our own monetary system was disturbed by tbe two latter oi the changes referred to and several read jutmentsof tbe relative weights of gold and sliver coins nave been neces.-ary. The first silver dollar of tbe United States, authorized by tbe act of 1792, contained 416 grains of stind&rd silver, and v a m ii a t . ä to the gold dollar in weigu as fifteen to one. Tbis was, however. slightly above tbe intrinsic value of silver, and aod an act of 1S37 changed tbe relation to about 16 to 1 by reducing tbe wtlgbtof boib coins, the new silver d 1lar weighing 42i grains. This relation endured up to 1873, but the silver dollar appreciated somewhat in value after 1S30 in consequence ci the increase in the quantity of gold, and gradually passed out of circulation. In 1872 it was worth Jl 03 in standard gold coin. An act of 1853 materially reduced the weight ot subsidiary coin, but as these were only legal tender to tbe amount of $5 00, tbe act has little significance. It must be remembered tbat the old silver dollar was a full legal tender without limit. We now come to the legislation by wbich the sliver dollar was removed Irom tbe coinage of the country and all this subs quent discussion provoked. Following a movement for tbe demonetization of silver, wnicU wascoaiindncad by Great Britain in 1806, but which was not marked In its ef-c-s pntil pined by Germany in 1870, Cotigress enacted a law stopping the coinage ot the silver dollar and furnishing nothing to supply its place, tbe trade dollar bavicg a merely local and restricted office. Tbis law. In effect, abolished silver as a legal tender and declared gold the sole monetary standard. Tbat such a sweeping and radical change should take place without attracting more attention is attributed to the fact tbat neither gold nor silver were in circulation in 1873. With the discussion of proposals for return to specie payment, however, tbe full force of this legislation becomts apparent, and its hardship is felt. This practical demons' ! ration of silver in effect forbids the United States to employ tbe product of its mines in the payment ot its deb's, and, in combination with similar movements elsewhere, has forced down tbe relative value of silver to gold irom one-sixteenth to about onc-elgbteentb. Tbe legislation which Is proposed to rectify tbis error in finance and govirnmental economy Is extensive and various, and it does not appear to wbich bill our correspondent refers. The silver bill of last April contained a clause giving legal tender powers to the trade dollar, but lb s was defeated In the Sdnate, and the bill as passed concerned only subsidiary coio. So with tbe bill parsed last we k. Mr. Linder' amendment providing for , the restoration of .the sliver dollar having been struck out in conler -r.o committee, Mr. Landers, a few days later, introduced a bill embodying tbe object of his amendment, and Mr. Eslley Introduced a bill for the same purpose, but neither of these ia bkely to get tbr .ugh the House. The bill which has tbe m. tt cbane of brooming a law is hat reported 'rom tbe committee on mines and mlnirg by Mr. Bland ot Missouri, on Tuesday, to nil Z9 tbe product ot gold and silver mines. This provides for the issue of coin no 64 at tbe mints in exchange for bullion, the silver to be rated I at 420 grains to the dollar. This bill has

i many friends In the House, and It is said ! to be sare of a majority In tbe Senate also.

Tbe practical eöect of this bill would be to reinstate silver as a full legal tender, these coin notes being receivable without limit. From tbis to an act author zlog silver coinage tbe step would te short, and would probably be speedily taken. Grant-Chandler-Uayes. There la a cool and refreshing impudence In tbe frequent assertion that in tbe nomination of Hayes the Republican party has turned its back upon Grsntlsm and Its sttendant corruptions, wben tbe manner In wbich tbat party propose to conduct the campaign is considered. Tbe Republican party may pile upon the sturdy shoulders of its stolid chief tbe responsibility tor its past follies, blunders and crimes. It may even charge tbe new instancesof administrative incompetency and cfficial corruption which are da ly coming to light to weigh down thepirty In the coming contest, upon tbe lingering Influence of an autocratic and unscrupulous executive. Such a charge is a conspicuous confession of weakness in a great party, and an admission that tbe entire Republican body is held in Bbamefui, unresisting servitude to tbe evil purposes of one bad mat); but if the R'publican party chooses to con fees itself impotent tor good, raber than to accept responsibility for tbe acts of its chosen leader?, it may perhaps, be permitted to do so, ss to its pa?t career. For tne future, however, no such plea can be permitted. General Grant's corrupting Influence, if it is merely a matter of personal contagion, can not extend to the campaign for the election of his sue cesor. irthe Republican party is in earnest in its abandonment ot Grantism, this purpose must appear In its conduct ot tbe coming canvass. .The New York Tribune grasped a put ot tbe situation when it slid tbat to regain any share of the public confidence the Republicans must "cut looso trcm t fee administration so completely tbat they may erjoy its unconcealed aostility." This is go)d so far at it goes, but something more is needed to evince conversion from Grantism to an hones and upright political taitb. Tbere most be abandonment of old party machinery, change ot old prty methods, dismissal ot old party hacks from places ot trust and honor and the filling of tbeir places with Dew, untainted men; in short, a total and radical change in the whole political programme. In making arrangements fcr the coming campaign, tbe Republic party has not taken tbe first step towards these nrgent reforms. Indeed, the prog ress seems to be in the other direction. The canvass now opening on tbe Republican side promises to cCer in its methods and in the men wbo conduct it an example of the climax and culmination, tbe very flower and lull grown perfection of the corrupt, vicious, and demoralizing sjs em of politi cal machination that has grown up within the last seven years, and has been given the name of Grantism. The machinery to be employed has already been set in mo lion, and its operation may be seen any where. Removals for partisan reasons, appointments in rewaidof party service, political assessments in support of a cam paign corruption lund, tbe turning oi federal cmcers into' electioneering agents, and the employment of the whole en giuery of the civil service for corrupt and partisan uses, this la tbe old Republican method wbich is to be used with redoubled vigor this year. And the men in cbarge are tbe same disreputable schemers wbo have made the name of Re publicanism an offen-e and a stench in the nostrils of honest men. Tbe party may be fairly judged by tbe men it employs to conduct its political campaign. At tbe bead of its executive committee IsZicb Cbacdler, who was retired from tbe Senate by an Indignant cons' it uency aod called by Grant to the cabinet to use tia vast ex perience in turning the interior depart ment into an engine of political corrup tion. Other members are A. B. Cor nell, who runs tbe Cockling custom bouse machine in New Tork, Postmaster F.lley, of Ss. Louis, about whose name bangs tbe memory of political assessments, and Senator Patterson, tbe man wbo thought there was "five years' good stea:Ing left In South Carolina." Chandler, however, lathe chief and type of these, and he is the man wbo forms tbe con necting link between Grant and Hajes between the administration that la going out snd tbat which wishes to come In. Bahitd the transparent mask of candidates who sre presumed to be pure because tbey are unknown, tbe old corrupt Republican machine is working with a perennial vigor that nctbing but crushing defeat can check.. Should Hayes be elected, be would find tbe policy of his administration marked out for him by powerful and skillful bands, in which he would be but as wsx, and his first term would be 6Circeiy distinguishable from a third term ol Grant. Tbe band of shrewd and un scrupulous politicians In wbos bands Hayes has placed himself, and of whom Chandler Is a type, form an indissoluble bond between him and the old party ot Grant which makes any hope of reform from bis election the wildest and weakest delusion.

Ar camrnt for tbe Cal Road. . Probably the controlling argumenta

favor of a coal road have been substantially presented first and last in discussions of the subject within tbe past five or alz years. But they are such as will bear repeating, and they mott be repeated, urged and enforced until the public mind is reused to practical action. I a most railroad enterprises which fcave received support by public aid in the past, the benefits contemplated lay in prospective busints-, the creation of commerce on new routes and at new points, the building and growth of towns and cities, the enhancement of raal estate values, etc. All these considerations enter also into the rational advocacy of the coal road. But it has sIbo a special recommendation, wbich reaches In a practical way, every family man in this city, as well as a'.l consumers of fuel in any form lor any purposes. Fuel is first In the list of current expenses, the firs de mand of domestic and business affairs Before you ear, or sleep, or do anything. you must build a fire. Hence the procure ment of fuel and Its cost are primary and immediate considerations. The coal road will cheapen this article. It will reduce the current expenses every family permanently from the date at. which It goes into operation and the reduction will be Important It la estimated that the reduced cost of coal In tbis city would be not less than three cents per bushel There are few householder, however mod erate their way ot living, who do not con sums the equivalent of 200 bushels ct ccal every year. The road would thus bring a savirg of at least five or six dollar) to tbe humblest freeholder every year of his life, Tbis shows tbat tbe coal road is an enter prise which should enlist tbe sympathy aod influence of the mass of tbe people, Everybody is directly interested in it, and ought to talk for It. The leading topic of conversation should to be tb coal road.; Figures Mill tell. We invite the attention ot the tax-payers of Indiana to tbe following exhibit of the comparative economy of tbe last two leg isla ures ot tbis state the one Republican tbe other Democratic. Tnis is vtoith more than platform promise?. Tbe&e figure tell wbich party favors economy.

Tbeie was a like economy manifest in othe items of expense showing a total of 131, 2G9 65, by the Democratic legislature.
