WILOOM K BOM K 8PKKCHES BT JCL'IM AUD GENERAL MANON. (Special Correspondence of the Sentinel. CxiirPOBDeviiXs, Sept. 2. To day fcai Deen a field dy lor the Democracy oi Montgomery county. Although It was not generally known that tieorge W. Julian would be bera to addres tbe people, be was greeted by an assemblage ot fifteen hundred voters. He begaD speaking at two o'clock and held bis hearers In rapt accord with him lor nearly two tours. The meeting was held in a noble grove In tbe Elston Park, and ' although Mr. Jalian seemed In frail beal:b, and bis voice broken yrom much speaking, so carefully an J heedfuily did tbe vast multitude wait uon ad follow his every lhoug.hr, that every word spoken reached the ears of tne outmost listener. It is useless to attempt a description of Julian's speech. Having beard him once in this canvass, your imagination will serve you better than any icre pen picture. He followed tbe trail of the war governor, and wherever the lash ot tils matchless sarcasm fell, tbe lopped blossoms of Morton's boasted record were whipped and draggled In tbe dust. Nothing cau exceed Julian's power of ridicule. Men can face a battery of blazing cannon who can not endure tbe torture of general laugh at tbelr expense. Many Republicans who would sit ucfllncbingly under tbe stiady torrent cf Julian's eloquent arraignments, wriibed and winced when tbe frightful color of their bidden record vas beld to clrse to tbflr yes that they could not dare dispute Its verity. He does rot strike a listener as though be were paintirg a picture ol the ' shameful correp ion ot the party, bur . more as if be bad uneartbea and was exhibiting tbe tread ul crginal. He does not discribe be reveals It is needles to say that bis Bpeecb was well received. We know that it ras done its work, and its effect will be lelt in tbe day sat tot trial in , October. OUR OLD WAR HORSE. Before dark the people began assembling in the streets about the court bouse, where a stand had been erected, and bv 8 o'clock it looked s though the great Hendricks ' rally of 1872 wa t be repeated. Such a meeting fr lnde-cribable. Tee Tilden and Hendricks Guards to tbe number ol 300, bearing lamps under commaod ol Major Frank E s on. p4r-ded tbe streets Wit tbe Montgomery Qua ris' fine band - at tbelr bead. A' 8:30 bey marcbed to tbe residence of General Manson and conducted him to tbe stand. Then there were houtsand cheers, tbe rush oi rockets, tbe whirr of burning wheels, the music ri bands and the roar or gut s, while a s'eady rain of fire fell iroru tne adjcer,t build Ings. Nothing like it baa been seen Cere for years. Ii an improvised greeting on the shortest notice, from a icrateful people to a loved and honored leader. It struck amezsment into tbe heart- of tbe men wbo tol'ow the leading ot gold, breadcloth and kid gloves, and x 8 at blue Jeans, bard bauds and tbe simple greatness of such men as Williams and Manson. Tbe old war horee looked as happy as be did on (he day a ter tbe election In 1870, when be marched through this congressional district, overthrowing ' an enormous Republican maj rity and alosing tbe pol'ttcal history ol Wallace forever. Tbe affection of tne Democracy In this county for the Id general amounts almost to idolatry. In any race be could simply carry it ty storm. We give the aubetance ol bis p-ecb, only omitting the argument on tbe financial question, which has appeared in print be 'ore: GENERAL MANSON' SPEECH. My fellow cl izens,l idles and gentlemen. It affords me great pleasure t- address you nere to-night. You are my old and young neigh-, fcors and trlend, an. I the honor you do me by giving me such a c rdl-i reception overwhelms me, Vnd I do not know ho to express Tay emotions. A you will observe. I am boarse and uoab e to do Justice to the occasion. 1 have been e peak ng to eolld acres e! Democrats down here in the region known as the home of th.t grand, ho Dent old man who will be your next Governor, cheers, it looks down iheie in those counMe es if everybody loved that old farmer, Blue Jeans, a we familiarly cab blm.BMd i iblot no nun ever was a truer patriot or a ok re sincere reformer. Aprlanse. J4y Irteuos, I come to speak to you to-night In thevery kindest of feein g. I sball abuse no one. 1 shll not speak evlt ot the character of the Republican candid let. I thluk Mr. Hayes Is, socially no in h s private lue, a good man, but not a great one in any repp. cl. He U a negative man, a man to re. i.-a by tbos who nominated him, by the shrewd. unc npalous meu who have alie br ught tbe country :o tbe verge of bankruptcy, de can never be a leader of men. Hsc nressionaJ record 'bows this. In Cougrens heuid nothing bat vote a directed by tbedrirt of KeDabictn influence. He will be whatever Mor on nd Conkling and Zac Chandler tell hl u be masi be, aud you all know that would tot be mach reform. Laasb'er a g-tint Uenerai Harrison, as a man, 1 can sty nothing. He is a lawyer of guod charac er and a p easant gtntleruan, butaganst him we have a man of no ordinary kind. A man of tbe eople, a simple, unassuming former and yet a powerful mm in his will and his InOu nee, a man whom the masses can appioach as Ucle Jimmy. Applause I hau the honor to be one of Indiana's represotativas at tbe St. Louis Convention. I did not get my " first choice, bat t at does no signify that I must refuse to vote far Mr. Tuden. When delegates go Into a convention they have their several candidates, they work bard for tbelr favorites. 1 wanted to bead the ticket with tbe name of that parvst and grandest of men, Thomas A. Ilendrlck. whom to know is to love, I cheers aid I worked for bim. He Is your nominee f. r vtc -president on tne ticket with Samuel J. lüden, a strong man wbo rosa above party bias and crubo out Tammany and tke Cai.al MDg of New York, and whose very name is reform. Applause. And I am satf-fl d wltu tbe ticket. I am not going to throw away my vote aad my energies on a third party because 1 con li not have it all my own way at Mr. Loale, but I shall not fallout with those who t bin k and vote as Independents. 1 shall not abuse them, ldont tb'nk tbeeaae of lemoc-acy a. d re orm requires one to aboe any one. I hold that tbe Republican party baa DWr.yed tha tru-tof the people, au i tnat all Independent thinkers and voters oogu to belp cast them out of power. It ba been said that tbe Republican party is tbe worst party tne world baa ever seen. I do not think it is ail bad. I can raadlly see want great temptationa have beet tbe party since it eme into power. 1 s control of tbe government h.s been nichecked by any limit. Every avenne to corruption .a been open, aa the aiurai retnlt of tne overwhelming majorities they hav had la all the depart men s of tbe government. Bo long a lease of inch absolute power will corrupt an party. No pr-y ought te bave too much power. Tbe safety ol our country depend on chcks and ba'ancs, and. frequent changes of administration have the effect of

Ttl little matter affecting the truthfu'ness of my statements being now put to rest, let me resume, a woru ABOUT THE RKMCMPTI0N BILL.

TORN 10 TATTERS. THE FINE LOGIC OF SCHURZ. An Unanswerable Article From a German Who was Invited by Schurz to Attend the Fifth Avenue Conference: A LIVELY LETTER. X-LIETTT. GOV UCBLLER OF OHIO WRITES A rCATHINQ LEITER TO CARL. The following open letter from ex-Lieut. Gov. Mueller otO io to Carl Schurz Is a sufficient answer to tbe longdrawn out speech ot that interconvertible gentleman. It is taken from tbe columns ol the Cleveland Waecbter am Erie : To Mr. Carl Schurr Tbe announcement thu yon are going t make your debut as i reformed reformer in our beautiful Forest City bas been a surprise to me, and no less o many of your former admirers. I think I understand wby the Republican leads r wish to see the lever for reconverting tbe Liberal G armaria first applied In our city; but what I do not understand is that you should so readily ofifcr jour 4 Istaoce. You must bave known, aince 1872, that tbe reform ideas, whose seeds you helped to sow, took strong root wit ua here, and that these roots cannot be pulled out without some trouble. I do oot think tbatyo i are given to the illusion or being able to republicanlze tbe G -jman reform elements of this locality, even with tne rhetorical mastership that is your own. Bat as tbe psreons who hive called you here believe, or at least pretend to believe, that such a dextrous performance can be accomplished, and Inasmuch as tbe liberal Germans are tbus exposed to the humiliating suspicion of requiring only an iuilma'-ion from yourself to be converted this explains why you make your first campaign epiech in German, it is right tDd proper to protest. Far too long already, tar too long FOB THE HONOR OF THE GERMAN ELEMENT as well as tbe honor of all ot ns, his tbe false idea been worked and speculated upon that the German vote can be effectively influenced aud controlled by some one great or small politician; it is bigu time to do away with such notions. But in cafe that your speaking in German is tccldental, and that tbe influence drawn rom it be therefore void, I must still avail myself of your pre"nca in order to set forth something to me I Mm port ant. Having been a member of the New York c;nlerenc, to which you inv;ted me, I feel called and j 't fisd to do so. Disgusted with tbe corruption ol tbe reigning party, without confidence of the oi her p my, I beheld in a conference of Independent patriotic men a ray of hope fr reform. The spirit that prevailed in toe conference surpassed my expectations; he result of its deliberations was satUftctory to me. Although many members were inclined to cross the Rubicon immediately, and to use tbe conference as a starting point for a third party, tbe opinion of tbe more prudent members predominated, v z : to remain as yet in a position ot wailing; to issue AN K ARN EST ADDRESS TO THR PEOPLE, and to found a third party only in case that this aidress should be nnheeded by tbe several convtntious which were to be held in tbe Immediate future. Tbe address to tbe purpose, edited by yourself, left no d ubt which class of prestdsntUl caididates was meant to be worthy of support, fbe first sections manifestly depicted t he class represented by Messrs. Morton, Blaine and Conkling, while the other Sections were directed against such candidates ot expedience as Hayes and II art ran tt. There was not tbe lenst doubt of th's in thecoDbrence. Ntciu tbe author ot tie ddresa be in doubt of it. Since this seems to be Xre cae, however, I lutend to assist bit memory and remind bim that when te re id tbe address te ore me and my iriend on tbe day preceding tbe con eronce, and made ns acquainted with tbe intent., that he bimse 1, alter each section bad been gone through witb, called tbe names ol the candidates that were meant, though not named; and that alter readiDg to us tbe following: "We sball support no candidate wbo, however favors bly judged by his nearest friends, is not puoliciy known to po8-ess those qualities of mind and character which tbe stern task of genuine ref orm requires, for tbe American people can not now afljrd to risk tbe future ot tbe republic la experiments on merely suppoied virtue or rumored ability to be trusted on tbe strength ot private recommendations." He turned to US and remarked plainly, and as if it were selfevident matter: 'THIS DISPOSES OF MR. HATES." If we compare this passage, which pronounces tbe verdict upon Mr. Hayes, with the parole likewise issued by Mr. Schurz, Vz: that this election did not turn on political articles of faith as much as on tbe personalities ot the candidates, not on p'attorms but on tbe men that stood on tbtm then we discover tbe Irrefutable fact tbat not only Mr. Schurz but tbe entire conference, all of whom eLtbuslsstically approved of the addree s and tbe above passage, counted Mr. Uayee as among those wdo should absolutely not be supported. And not yet content witb this, the conference, by tneir sweeping approval, ot Mr. Adamb'a speech, fixed' its programme as follows: B iatowor lilden; and la case that neither is Dominati d, reconvening ot tbe conference. The position taken by the coofsreoce tullv corresponds with my own convictions. It Wis a great satlslaction to me to know ih at so patriotic a body of men as were assembled there sbouid agree in tbe points above mentioned. I took the cause to be an earne t ce; I bave remained true to it, and sball remain true to it in spite ot all deserters. How is it with Mr. Schurz tbe instigator and leader of tbe conference; the chairman of tbe executive committee, appointed at bis own motion, and which w-s charged with carrying out the views and resolutions ol tbe assembly THow I it with the man that, as long ago ss 1861, declared war to tbe Republican party, and wbo, to accomplish tbe iuId ot bis par y, in 1872 allied himself witb the Democrat,?' la be wbo for tbe past five years has been using bis captivailoa eloquence, his great talent and tbe sttou POWKR OF HIS POPULARITY for the overthrow of the Republican party la be In bis to-day's speech going to support that same p&rty? Is be going to shew

the Germans tbat the Republican party Is better in 1373 than it was In 1S72, and tbat Mr. Hayes bas become a different man since the May conference? WtU Mr. Schuri on the taue speaker's stand on which four years ago he advocated tbe alliance with the Democratic prty to-dav represent this alliance to his German tellow citizens as dangerousr Mr. Scburz ought to reel tbat

ne can not Bucceea in ir.e attempt to barmorize his position to-dav with both that ot 1872 and tbat taken in tbe New York conerer.c, and tbat no amount ot sophistry is sufficient to fill tbe gap which exis s between Schurr, tbe reformer and Scburz tbe Republican stump orator. If the danger of a Tilden administration were as great as Mr. Bcburz now pretends to fear, a review of bis sgitative activity during tbe last five years would certainly overwhelm him with a sense of great responsibility, for no one more than be bas successfully discredited the Republican ptrty in the eyes of the people; no one more than be contributed to the thinning out of its racks. Whatever Mr. Schutz may rraintain in order to reconcile tbe contradictions between bis previous position and tht or to-day, be will not bs able to overcome THE LOO 10 OF THE FOLLOWISQ PROPO SITIONS : If his activity in behalf of reform since 171, which culminated in the New York conference, baa been earnestly believed and justified, his present position is unpar donable, untenable and inconsistent." Second. If tbat conference purposed more than to be a mere comedv, Mr. Schurz cannot pes m b y favor the election of Mr. Hayes. And in case that Mr. Scburz did not leel able to abide by bis duty to support Mr. Tilden, tbe only thinz lelt for him to do was to re convene the conference. Third. If Mr. Scburz in bis sovreiznty, believed tbat be could set himself above this due regard and obligation toward tbe members ot the conference there was left tor him tbe only alternative to maintain a passive or neutral, or at least a reserved attitude even It merely for the purpose ot quieting bis fellow-citizens and fjrmer reform companions tbe suspicion tbat bis position in this campaign is based on personal grounds rather tbau on patriotic motives. I bave been induced to write this open letter, as stated before, by Mr. Schurz's coming here for a puapose which is PARTICULARLY PROVOKING TO ME as one wbo responded to bis invitation to the New York conference. This provoca tion prompts me to vindicate my own position at well as that of all my German ca-cprators, of whom their former leader, Scburz, now asks to renounce tbe ism convictions and principles for which they have touzbt for years and not unrreqently made tbe greatest sacrifices. Although tbe readiness with which Mr. Scburz takes the stump in this city and to tuch a pur pose is rpugoaut to me and to the German sentiment a feeling which politicians may not look upon as being Justitiell yet I will not by any means weaken the efiVcts that the Republicans expect from Mr. Scburz's speech, lor I am too ardent a friend of political discussion. J. MUELLER. LANDER'S CANVASS. RÜSSELVILLE DEMOCRACY. HR. LANDER ON FIN ANC AS WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT. Special Correspondence of the Sentinel. Russklvillb, Aug. 31. Oar Citizens l'eteced to-day to one of tbe strongest, most logical and satisfactory addresses on finance tbat we have beard for many a day, from tbe Hon. Franklin Lenders, our candidate lor Congress in this district. Our people are suffering, and while anxious for relief.they are ecannicg and putting to the test of their own consideration and thought all theories be .'ore they will adopt any particular one. With tbelr property largely decreased in value, aud no demand even at these re duced prices, our tsrmers and trercban s, witb no currency to carry on business and a dark future of still less prosperity etarIng them in the face, feel that only those who bave made clear tbelr prop eed reme dies can bave any consideration now. The mettlDg bere to-day was tbe largest tbat has been held bere this year, and no meeting could have been distinguished for greater interest tban was maniles ed in Mr. Landers' system of finance as set forth in bis speech, backed as it was by Republican records. He gave as bis view of tbe cause of our present bard times the cont-tir t legislation of trie party in power in tavor ot the few and against tbe many. Tbe constant passage of laws tbat bave increased interest anu decreased tbe volume of currencv. He sns alned bimaelf by ami zing the effect of the resumption act on tbe business and currency ot the country. He laid down this proposition, tbat tbe valne of all commodities la regulated by tbe amount ot currency, that while gold is the standard 'of payment, yet tte volume ot paper money in me ouuuiry u-ieriuiueu tun value of gold. With gold, silver and greenback" as tbe currency, and in volumes sufficient to do the business of tbe juuntry, pros- erlty will return, and that soon, and this currency can notbeobtalned except through tbe Democratic par y, and as they are pledged to give tbe people relief la this direction, they will have the power, It tbe people maintain tbem at tbe polls this tall. He deprecated tbe DISCUSSION OF " DEAD ISSUES," and devoted his time to them, and b's course was heartily commended by a'i present, both Democrats and Repuolicaos. Even our Republicans are getting hunary tor some lacts that will give tnem some light on the present state of our country, and are disgusted witb tbe .republican speeches, so far deliver, d here this ear. They are tired of being hoodwinked, and no party can prevent our people fr m independent Investigation. Mr. F. W. Bartholomew made a tai hw peech sfter Mr. Landers had finished, to tbe effect that do any ought to be allowed to stand between tbe citizens and relief Tbat all are equally interested ln.thl-a-rest financial quest km, aud those milted on financial matters should join bands, and thereby succeed in impressing on tbe country their measures. . Mr. Landers will make strong luroads on tbe Republicans in this part ol tbe county. W. LOWMAK. Ktlpatrlck has gone. Who now will mak so effective an appt al for money to buy tte greenbaekers.

You will be held responsible for all breaches of the peace of tne United States whicti diligence on your part might have prevented, and for tbe a-reat and Becunng of all persona who violate tbat peace in any eft tie aoove points enumerated. Diligence in these matters requires, of course, tbat you be and contiBue present in person bydputy at all places of registration or electiou, at wbicb you bave reason to suspect tbat tbe peace is threatened, and tbat whenever an embodiment of tue posse comtlaius isre quired to enforce the law, such embodit moot be present, you will observe tbat the special deputies mentioned in section 2.021 ot the revised statutes HAVE PECULIAR DUTIES ASSIGNED TO THEM duties which otherwise do not belong to deputy marshals. Such special deputies can be appointed only in cities of 20,000 inhabitants, or upward, but the duties a signed to marshals and their deputies by section 2,022, or other like statements belong to all duly appointed deputies, whether they be general or be special within the meaning cf tbat and the preceding section. Deputies to discharge this latter class of duties may be appointed to acy number whatever, according to the discretion of tbe marshal in all states in wbic sher ff l ave similar powers. Section 2,030 has no practical bearing upon this point In stales where no limit is imp std on tbe appointment of deputies by sheriffs, because in BJCb state tne laws of tbe United S-a'ea, prior to tne 18tb of June, 1872, let marshals also nnlimited as to the number oi tbeir deputies. In discharging tbe duties above mentioned yon will doubtless receive the countenance and support of all good citizens of the United 8ta.es in jour respective districts. It is not necessary to say tbat it is upon such countenance and support that tbe United Staus mainly re y in tbelr endeavor to enforce tbe right to vote which tbey have given or have secured. The President's instructions are intended only to counteract tbat partial malice, wrongbeadeduess or Incossioeratlon which sometimes triumphs at critical moments over THE CONSERVATIVE AND GENERAL PREVAILING FORCES OF SOCIETY to which the present aud pa slog condition of tbe country gives more than ordinary strength, and, therefore, requires tbe government to particularly observe and provide against. Ir this connection I actvise tbat you, and each of your deputies, general and special, fcave a right to summon to your assistance in preventing and quelling disorders, every person In yonr district above fifteen years of ago, whatever may be tbeir occupation, whether civilians or not, and including tbe military ot all denominations, militia, soldiers, marines, all ot which are alike bound too by you. Tbe fact trat tbey are organized a military bodies, whether ot tbe state or United Siates, under the immediate command of tbeir own officers, does not in any wise aflect their legal character. Tbey are still tbe pease comit&tus prefer to quote the above statement oi tbe laws upon tbia point from an opinion by my predecessor, Ex-Attorney General Cusbiog, because It thus appear to have ben wll settled for many yearn; VI Oplniocs, 466 May 27, 1854 I neeo naraly add tbat there can be no state law or s ate cffictal in this country who has jurisdiction torppoae you In discharging yur official du ids, under tbe laws ot tb United States.

A special to the Pioneer Press, dated north bank ot tbe Yellowstone, Aug. 27, via Biimarck D.
