WEDNESDAY. AUGU-JT 23.

rorrnDtion AefcBOwledft-'d 4en KU patrleh.'a Letter. The letter we publish elsewhere in the Sentinel this morning from Gen, J. Kllpitrick, the distinguished Republican orator, sent out by tbe Republican .National Committee to this state from.New York, to Gov. Hayes, the Republican candidate for the presidency, is a document so chara;terlstlc, and so clearly develops tbe rottenness of the Republican party that its publication to the world Is deemed a plain du'y that no patriotic citizen should brink from. It develops several facts disgraceful in the extreme to the leaders of tee party, Governor Hayes Included. General Kilpatrick'a letter to Governor Hayes Bhows that the Radical party In this etate is already defeated, and tbe effort is to be made to cefraud the will of the people by corrupt means. It shows the estimation In which tbe greenback men are held by the Reputlican party, "poor bankrupt set," that can 1)6 bought with money, and changed by lying Republican documents. It shows that Gov. Haye, the spotless, Incorruptible statesman, wbo is th candidate of the Republican party, can b9 approached in a familiar way with corrupt propositions. It shows that Gen. Harrison is to secure an election by the use of money. Gen. Kilpatrick. is one of the leaders of tbe ring, and is constrained to tell Hayes how the Republican National Committee, in not famishing money, is neglecting the opportunity to carry the s'a'e. It shows that the lowest political debauchery is to be used to carry tbe Btate of Indiana for Harrison. Gen. Kilpatrick has been in close communion with the central committee here. He is working at their bidding, and according to the Journal he is doing effective woik. The Journal on his arrival in the city gavs him tbe fullest endorsement. He therelore represents the views of tbe party. The letter lurther shows that two of the basest means nsed by tbe Republicans la carrying the elections, the bloody shirt and money, are tbe only means that can now save the state. Tbe bloody shirt argument Las been used effectually by Gen. Kilpatrick, and his friends eay that he is accomplishing wonders, as wit ness the following from the Journal: Ladles, citizens and the General's old com rades viel with each other in giving him a patriot' welcome. To describe tbe General's epeecb would be a useless task it mast be heard to be appreciated. It will be sufficient to say that It was one of the most tfleciive, eloquent campaign speeches ever dellveied in thL town, and has done us great good. It has aroused again the old spirit of 'M and 'eg Euch cheers as went up from the vast audience lor Harr.son and Hayes and Kilpatrick, as the gallant soidier and brilliant oiaior t-at down. were never heard before in Bedford. But General Kupstrick tarns away mournfully from the ovation, and reports from here at headquarters to Hayes himself, after seeing tbe central committee, that war Epeeches alone will not do, but that "bloody shirt and money"" would do tbe work. War speeches for Democrat sol diers, we presume, and money to purchase the "poor 'bankrupt greenbackers." Cltinns of Indiana, voters of tbe proad old iioosler state, can tbe corrupt means to be used by tbe Radical party buy ycu to support man who is acknowledged to be defeated? Can voo gir your sup port to a presidential candidate who can be familiarly addressed by his friends witb euch propositions? Independents of Indi ana, you woo have keen battling against the money power, are you willing for the Republican ring masters to buy your leaders, and sell your "poverty" for so mach? It anything more insulting has ever been conceived in tbe management of a political party we have yet to sea it. This letter places Governor Hayes In a new light; it snatches away that spotless robe in which his friends bare clothed him and places him at once on the level of the low political ring that has msde GenuGrant's Administration a stench and a bya word f reproacn. It presents General Harrison lc a new light as a candidate for a place to e bought with money. It places the Radical party in tbe disgraceful posL'ieo of watXng suppliants, begging for money to help oat their bloody shirt policy. It ought lo defeat and politically damn the whole rrew. Lit the people read ani ponder. Tb As! Joarnmentof Congress. The first session of tbe Forty-Fourth Congress adjourned Tuesday. Its lab rs bare bseo arduous and protracted, the session lasting eight naomh and a half. Tbe distinctive features of this session have been tbe inauguration of reform by tbe Democratic Houae, Jn the reduction of ; public expenditures a'td tbe exposure of üraud aod corruption. Is seems, In re-'

viewing the past record ol Republican administrations, that the election of a Democratic House two years ago was providen

tial, looking to tte exposure of tbs vast corruption existing in the government before that party should faiten itself in power for another four years. Fortu natelyfor the American people, in the House the majority determined to uncover the wickedness that had been systetnati cally concealed, and lay bare before the people the methods by which they hmve been robbed daring the past eight y ears Setting aside all other legislative matters, this work alone will mark this Congress as one of the most important in the history of our country. The nation was in laager, in greater danger, indeed, than from a iorelgn or internal fee We were fast versing to that condition of rottenness when the government, in preying upon the people, destroys tbe very vitality of a nation. Nations may be con quered by a iorelgn (op, and jet flourish in commercial prosperity. Tte govern ment may revolutionize, and yet leave tbe people with a tide of prosperity, but when those in power commence pillaging tbe paople witb high taxes, reckless extrava gance and put lie robbery, then the nstlon dies. But the tide of relorm has set in, and to tbe Democracy tbe future interests of t ie country are indebted for their re deeming work this centennial year. Hon. M. V. Kerr. As we write, tbe wires are flashing over tha country the mournful intelligence 01 the death of tbe Hon. Michael C. Kerr, p?aker of tbe House of Representative of the United States. Fe died at the Rockbridge Alum Springs, Virginia, at 7:30 last evening. For several months his health ba I "been precarious, bis symptoms often assuming such an alarming type ai to give his family and friends tbe gravest apprehensions. His official duties were frequently interrupted by his declining uealth, and finally it became necessary for him to abandon Washington and seek in relaxation and medical treatment for a restoration of his wasted energies and rapidly declining strength. Unlortuca'.ely for tbe country tbe time was too long postponed. Death had marked blm for its victim. The prayers of friends, the skill of physicians, and .the demands of bis country were alike unavailing, and as tbe dispatch announced a'. 7:30 lafct evening he quietly yielded np his spirit. A great sojI took Its departure, and the country mourns tbe death of an other good man a statesman, wbo full? comprehended tbe supreme cteOB of his country, a politician of consummate ability, a patriot who had the love and esteem of pure men o all parties ; a gentleman in tbe largest and broadest sanse of tbe term, whose unvarying candor and whose stalwart integrity were never questioned and whoae fidelity to tbe interests of his constituents was universally ac knowledged. Mr. Kerr was a native ol Pennsylvania and was born near Titus ville, Crawford county, in that state, on tbe 15th day ot Marcb, 1827, and was, therefore, at the time of his death, in the 50tb year of his agp. He was, sajs a biographer, chiefly self educated, but studied at seve ral academies. In early liie he taught school. He studied law at the University oi Louisville, and alter a brief residence in Kentucky, made his permanent home at New Albany in this state wheie bis many virtues endeared him to tbe people wbo, later in li'e, SDUght opportunities to place Lim in positiots of honor and trnst and here let it be said that they were never disappointed in their confidence. Official responsibilities only seemed to develop and bring into greater con spiouousne8s his manifold excellen cies of head and heart, and to establish the confidence of the peo pie more firmly in tbe incorrupt! billty ol his character. In 1856 Mr. Kerr was eieotod for two years to the State Leg lslature where be acquitted himself witb marked ability, giving evidence ol talents which subsequently were to earn a National reputation upon a broader theater, in WbZ Mr. Kerr was elected reporter to tbe Supreme Court of this state, and bis five volumes of published reports attest his legil ability, comparing favorably witb tbe best that bad appeared before or have since been published. In 1864, Mr. Kerr was elected a Representa tive tothe thirty-ninth Congress, where he made an enviable record, giving promise of legislative ability of the highest order. He was re elected to the fortieth Congress aodduriag this term largely Increased bis reputation as a far-seeing statesman. The opinions of few men were more highly prized in council. His moderation was not more coasplcuoos than, his firmness and withal there was in what he said sack manliest honesty of conviction as to exercise au Id flu nee rarely at cared by any man In tbe balis of oar national legis lature. In L874 Mr. err was again elected to Congres, and no sooner was tbe announcement made than be was mectioned in connection with tbe speakership ot the Hoose, in a wav that gave tbe most posi tiv assurances that be was the choice, not only of the members of the dominant party in that body, bat of the country, and when the votts were east he was triumph antly elected. N) oface was ever more worthily hsstowed. It was an as surance . of the . highest character tfcat the Dsmocratlo party had rssolved upon reform in earnest that honesty in tbe administration should be secured; that public officer should be held to the severest account ability, and th3t If possible an era ol retrenchment and reform abould be inaugurated. These out givlngs of tbe Democratic party, of which Mr. Kerr had become a conspicuous rep- I resentative, were, in so far as he could aid

in their accomplish meat, fully and faith

fully performed. In all that he ald and In all that he did there was nothing boastful or vainglorious. He moved steadily and unobtrusively towards the msr, and n every measure the honesty of his pur poses were so manifest that bis political opponents were compelled tc yield their acquiescence. The New York Herald In commenting upon a telegram announcing Mr. Kerr at tbe point of death says: The decease of Mr. Kerr, which is expected from hour to boor, will be a serlou mi ortune to the D mocraic party Ed a loss to the publloUfeof ibecourvry. His firm ln'egiity, am able temper, modest manners snd irreproachable life bav always commanded the confidence of political friend and the repet of poltical opponent, and be will be sincerely mourned by all who have been associated with blm in the national coun ells. The death of such a man In these degenerate times Is a public calamity. He falls in tbe prime or manhood, when new opportunities of distinction ana usefulness were opening before him, and hi political party is deprived of the services of one of its lew members of ripe aod trained capacity for public anVrs. Mr. Kerr wa raore rem ark b e for a clear bead, sound Judgmentand power of perspicuous mat eme t baa tor wbat is called luteileciual brllllaocy, hla tlents being solid, not bho wy, aud matching bis character, which was sUady, faithful ndmirilr, but not Impulsive. He dies with tbe cim resignation of a Christian, anxious nlyftr bis family, wuotn he leaves in honorable poverty. A vacancy in the Speakership takes away oDeofihe lei(al safeguards for keeping the Presidential office always filled, but this is perhaps ol Utile consequunc, a the contingency against wh ch the provi)on is made seems very remote. Ordinarily, four live stand as a protect loa fgalnat an tx ecu'ivrt vacancy nainery, tue president, tbe vi e president the presiding officer of the Senate and tbe speaker of the Hoase Tbe four 111 be reduced to two by tbe deaths of Vice President llon and Speaker Kerr, and an accident to Mr. Ferry wouli leave the presidency suspended on tbe uncertain tbread of a sing e human life. There Is no reason fortx-pe-ilDg dflge-, but still it Is alwavt. deslrai l to have at least three of the our offices at way? filled a an Insurance against tbe confusion which woaid leult from a government without an executive bead. fcuch tributes to the exalted character of a public servant in these degenerate days have a value above all price, and now, that the subject of these commeadatlons ltos cold io his shroud, will b) accept d by the friends of tbe deceased as peculiarly most appropriate. Mr. Kerr, as we have intimated, has for many months been an invalid. A. special to tbe Chicago limes from Rockbridge Sjrit gi contains the following: He is reduc d to a degree of emaciation which Is slm ply fearful to contemplate. His Hubs are Hille more than fefcin ana bone, an j bis face, neck and b east resemble those of a Hkeietou as nearly hs may be. He sutlers tbe most eX3rutlaimg pain almost constantly Dr. Pope says this evening that Mr. Kerr's disease Is phi hi sis intestinalis, or consumption of the bowels, a successive and more alarming phase of bis general tuberculous con di ion of which his eld chroulo catanb was merely a local leatme. Just ow It U impossible t hay whether Mr Keir libeller or worxe than he has bee a tor the past few dyt-, because tbe mode of trea'ment has b en rad cally changed. Dr. Davi, of the University ol Viiginia, the phy.-ican wbobas bad fhaigeof Mr. Kerr, is an ailupatb.wh le L)r. Pope is a homeopath, atd it will take some days to remove irom the system the effects of one system of mooiclDes and sabject It to the influence of anotner. There is but one thingci-r.ain, wblcu is tht the change In i"r. K it'b condition Is only a matter of tim. Dr. Pope wi;l very soon make an authors' lve statement of the cse, but at present be saj s two weeks will be the farthest limit to which Mr. Krrr's will can extend his life. He is almost certain to die tooner, however, at any unlooked-for moment. Should a chauge for the worse occur, he will not be able to continue the struggl-. The most remarkable thing about tbe whole mailer is tbe woicerul exhibition of will power, the triumph of mind over matter. With a phoiqae utterly destr oyed, bis mind retalnslt pristine vigor, and be he. ra and ta&es no iceol ail that Is Bald In bis presence. Though most of the time be appears to be lit a semiunconscious aiate, be fully realiz-s bis condition, and will not permit him-elf to be flattered by friends whose sympathy overba ances ihe r sobar judgment. Tnls morning your correspondent, on coming 1-ito Mr. Ke-r's room, remarked that he looked better. "No," he whispered, "I am no. better; "1 am worse." to his son, wno rasaispa cnes irom inquiring friends to answer almost hourly, hesaj ,'TeU tnem the truth." Is would be a grateful task to enter more fully into the life, character and public services of tbe dead statesman, tbe honorable citizen, the generous neighbor, the mm above reproach. Bai the hour at which we write forbids. Indiana mourns tbe loss of another noble son, tbe coantry a' public servant of tbe highest character and of untarnished integrity. I', in the great busy world, amidst tbe rush and whirl ol business, men stop to seak words of kind ness and of regret for the country's loss, wbat most be tbe severity of tbe blow in the home circle, where so many virtues converged to mske wife and chil dren happy. We, In common with thous ands who knew the deceased in the quiet walks of H e, can only ofler our condolence leaving for time tbe task of beating the wounds that death has made. A great; man baa fallen at his post with his harness on. He sleeps well. He will live in the affectionate memory of thousands. No grander monument ran be secured. The Other Side. The Grant Journals are not saying so much about the Hamburg affair as they did. They are not disposed even to notice tbe testimony under sworn affidavits of citizens of tbe county, who tell a very dii lerent tale from that which has been lndastri: asly circulated in the North. It Is now pretty well understood that the affair was purposely-planned, to produce some sort of a collision between the blacks and whites. Gen. Butler, wko has come in for a chief abare of the abase, and wbo we suppose is responsible for what was done, has personally demanded of tbe governor aa investigation, challenged a prosecution a&d in every way endeavored to have tbe whole case made plain, pledging a thorough vindication of his conduct throughout. Falling in 'this, he has procured a mass of affidavits from tbe leading citizens, showing np the whole merits of the cose in a light so clear and plain that only partisan prejudice will fall to recognize a disposition on his part to let the facts of the case be known. .It is very tay lor such papers as tbe Journal here to color and distort the false reports tbat were made of tMs case into a terrible outrage, with no mitigating circumstances.. Bat the people have learned Its tactics, and the bloody shirt song .that it sings is now so worn out that ncbody

rexards . It. It so launched out on the

Twitchell affair, making a martyr oat of that bad man, but it refused to publish the report of tbe investigating committer t unanimous In sentinent, composed of Republicans and Damocrats, snd it would refuse to publish an authentic account of the Hamburg affair if one could be secured. Bat it don't matter. Tbe question of reform which now engages the attention of tbe people oveitopa tbe most vigorous wringing of its bloody shirt, and upon this tbe people propose to make np their November verdict. Williams" Bpeeeli. The Indianapolis Journal ot yesterday morning published wbat purpottsd to be the speech of the lion, J. D. Williams at Salem, Ind., on Friday las The speech, as reported, was intended to mske reflection upon Mr. Williams' literary acquirements. It is unnecessary to say that this was a disgraceful as well as a disboaorable piece of Journalism. As an evidence ot the Incapacity of the reporter to report the speech correctly, even if be had been disposed to do so, it is only necessary to say that upon one occasion he made such a np"rt of tbe speech ol tbe Hon. D. D Pratt that that gentleman was indignantly seeking the scalp of somebody responsible for it about the Journal office for several days. However, tbe speech, even aa pub lisbed, will convey to tbe Journal's readers a ma ol wholesorm troth not usually found in that paper, or given to readers of Ridical jjurnal. This effort on the pirt of the Radicals ot this state to decry tbe abilities of tbe honest old frmrr simply because be may lack some of the literary culture of bis kidgloved opponent, will not meet the favo or respect of t hit-king men. Mr. Williams' early life, like that ot most of onr old men who came early Into this state, was deprived of the superior educational advantages of later years, but still his speeches are plain and perspicuous, and elicit tbe earnest attention of bis auditors. There are very few men even of our prominent political spaakers who make no inaccurate nse of language In extempore addresses, and they generally desire to revise even their written productions. The people Juat now desire the plain lac's rather than rnetorlctl flour isb, and tbe Journal will find before the canvass is over that men wbo feel tbe op. presslon of high taxes and hnngry stomachs will rather hear tbe story of economy in government expenses from honest old Jimmy William than any rhetorical way. ingofthe ensanguined uudergarment or fulsome perorations on the administration of Grant by Mr. Harrison. It occurs to us thatthe Journal should learn some things by experience, but it bas very soon forgotten that only two years ago it commenced a similar warfare upon Mr. Landers, disparaging bis culture in comparison witb that of the kld-glovtd, glib-tongued, congressiooally trained ora tor, Gsneral Coburn, but tbe people placed their condemnation upon the latter and sent Mr. Landers to Congrees. We reproduce elsewhere a report of tbe speech of Mr. Williams, from tbe New Albany Lsdger-S'andard, oi Monday, which we venture to say is a fair presentation ot what Mr. Williams did say to the peoplo of Washington county, which is in harmony with the statement ot our correspondent at Selena. The Work or tbe Hesslon. The first Congress for lour tee a years in which the Democracy has hal any controlling influence has Jost adjourned, and a review of the wcrk accomplished in its long session affords matter for just pride to the party. Mach energy has been ex pended in merely negative work, made necessary by the maladministration of previous Congresses, and In overcoming the resistance of the Republican Senate, but a creditable quantity of positive, actual work has been performed. In the consideration of this, the first place must be given to the complete and startling exposures of R?publlcan corruption and misrule that have hitherto been kept covered np through tbe partisan and personal Interest ot the rulers of Congress In tbe f ran Is and crimes ging on under their eyes. Tbe Damocratlo House bas exposed and disgraced the guilty secretary of war; it bas brought to light a long line of corrupt practices In the navy department; Ji baa revealed the true Inwardness of tbe real estate pool, and unfolded enough of the safe burglary a flair to send the chief actor out of the country and secure the in dictment of tbe president's private secretary. Coming to tbe more legitimate work of tbe body, Congress, throagh the persistent and untiring efforts of the lower House, bas reduced the expenses of government 29,000,000, and would have effected a greater saving but for the resistance of the Senate. The House has shaped its course wisely in legislation upon the finances, meeting tbe demands of the coantry by passing a bill tor the repeal ol of the resumption act, whlca tbe non-concurrence ot the Senate prevented from becoming a law. It bas taken the wind out of one Republican aall by paesing tbe school amendment to the constitution which alao failed in tbe Senate. In the rush and hurry of the closing hours, no Improper measures got throagh and none of immediate importance tailed. All the appropriation bills were passed in thoroughly considered and well digested form Tbe Hawaiian treaty bill in the interest ot our Pacific commerce passed. ; The bill for the Increase ot the forces operating against the Sioux reached its final passige at the lass meeting, thus leaving no important measure not acted on. Altogether, the record made by the Forty-fourth Congress at its first session is most creditable to tbe party which bas been restored to partial power after atrng

glintc for fourteen years in tbe minority,

and promises well lor what it' will do if given complete control of the government t bis fall. Tbe Lost Pleiad. A pall of gloom has been for months settling over tbe great R 3 pub! Jean party of Indiana, and its political horizon bas been darkly overcast. Tborugh tbe darkness and the gloom tbe eyes of tbe anxious watchers have peered eagerly, and their cry weut up for a beacon Ugh; to gulc!e them. The great Oliver P. cams and coruscated at tbe Academy, but the illumination was fitful and uncertain, and tbe darkness lelt has bsen only greater and more impenetrable. Tais prominent beadlight and transparency ot Radicalism and hate hal lost its power, and burned feebly like a penny tallow dip. But tbe hearts of the faithful were cheered and their eyes dazzled last night when th9 advent of a strange m&taor was heralded and a comet bright and glittering trailed its flaming path across the political firmament. Its course though brilliant, as might be expected of a pleiad lost, was erratic, and it hovered about tbe Journal office, the central source of Radical light. Tbe comet that thus swooped down on tbe Hoosier state to blight and consume and illumine was named O'Connor, and tbe orbit of tbe strange planet I geographically known as Iowa. Iowa, la a spirit of generosity, born of a common anxiety and concern tor the future, has kindly loaned him to tbeRepub Mean central commute of Indiana, and out of their superabundant wardrobe a arge and unu?ml!y gory shirt has baen given him and he goes for.h to wave it and to triumph. He spoke on tbe periphery of tbe circle, ander tbe eaves of the temple almost, and his oration was a masterly and unanswerable defense ot tbe eplrit, purpose, history and intent of the radical party. While repudiating all sympathy with him in his Ideas of Republican policy and respectfully denying many of his allegations, we have magnanimity enough to concede his ability as a' Republican stump orator of unusual force and vigor of style, aDd one wbo has the talent for concealing and ingenuously glossing over tbe shortcomings of his sect in a most original and effective manner. All tfcat can be said In favor of perpetuating tbe rule of Radicalism in tbia country was said and happily said by Mr. O'Conner, and to all earnest honest men and thinkers we commend him for a careful and attentive hearing. He is uc question ably a patriot of great dimensions as his frequett allusions to some Southern foit3 will attest, and was no doubt a rebel exterminator of nunsnal horse power. Another exponent of Republicanism was put forward in tbe person of Mr. S J. Peile, but following so closely upon the heels ot his more gifted coadjutor, his effort seemed rambling, stale and disconnected, and kindled little of enthusiasm or interest. Mr. Pelle declared tba tbe triurxph of tne Democracy means the re" storation of tbe political heresy of secession, and philosophically remarked that tbe doctrine bad its origin as late back es 1776. It wss first attempted by South Carolina in 1831. Now, we hardly presume that any one will do Mr. Pelle the palpable injustice ot regarding him as either a student of bis'cry or a very learned politician ; but it seems that wben exuding inlormaiion calculated to foster and prolong sectional malice, he might at least endeavor to be accurate, and so being, be would have mentioned that tbe doctrine was first seriously entertained by the state of Massachusetts as early as 1812, and that at subsequent periods, it was revived by her, and In the most sei ions and threatening manner. It is - not our purpose however to argue an exploded idea which exists only in the speeches o these agitators, and we cheerfully abandon the topic to tbem. We congratulate tbe Republicans of Indianapolis upon tbe proceedings ot last night's meeting, and feel assured that it will result, as tar as anything human can, in a decided party advantage.
