He would have done better, but is just recovering from an attack of blue jeans, which injared his wind. Cannon thundered last night in Indianapolis in the interest of fraud, perjury, military despotism and the overthrow of the liberties of the people. The Chicago Tribune does not compliment Grant on his message, but is entire ly w illing to accept his infamous usurpations in the interest of fraud and Hayes. An additional clauseo the resolutions adopted at the Shelbyville meeting last rtight, sent by telegraph at a late hour, reached us too late for insertion. In Alabama the Tilden and Hendriks electors had a majority of thirty-four thousand still the Hayes electors wanted to vote for Ilaye which is damphoolism run mad. . The'supreme demand is the impeachment of Grant.' . Send him forth to the world plast jred all over with the proof of his outrages.. Drunk or sober, compel him to advertise himself as a monster. The rads fired cannon last night to celebrate the.triamph of. fraud. If the cannon used for the dirty work were animate instead of cast-iron they would crawl through their own touehholes to hide their shame. The Jsew York Times is of the opinion that it does not comport with the dignity of the president "to set himself right before the people." .Well, the people will set him right before they get through with hira.

coxgkess and iMirrnii:T. The met ting of congress- to-t!:iy i- ::n event of more than ordinary imi-orta nee. The nets and deliberations of the twohms-s will Kwatched with the most inten-? solicitude. The demand fr exalted statesmanship

' never more urgent. The country needs wen w ho are eatable of comprehending the situation patriots whose p-crccption are unclouded by seetional bate; Statesmen ahle to gra.p tin- -omplicalions tluit threaten the pence of the country, and endanger ii) institution-, p.nd to map out tin course to he pursued by the people in their tiTort to rescue their liberties from the grasp of radical conspirators. There was never a nm'i' imperative demand for consummate wi.loni, combnel with prudence, patience and rina-nt-ss. The questions tobe discussed are vital. They involve considerations a grave ns were ever submitted to a free jieople. We do not care at this writing to catalogue tlie damn in,? infamies of the radical party. Tlie list is tuo long, te.iiiiiinir with acts of sneitk thief proportions, and rising by regular gradati'ns to monumental crimes, seen and read of all nation. The perfidy of the party culminates in violations of the constitution and acts' of dnot ism that congress cf.n not ig nore without criminal disregard of the high trust the ieople have committed t their representatives. The ads of the tirst sc-sabm of the foriy fourth congress give most gratu'ying assurances that the M-s-ion commencing to-day will be equally distinguished fr devotion to the interests of Unpeople. That more frauds w ill W inear;h"-d we do not doubt; that more radical scoundrels will be made the targets "f the people's execration, we regard ascertain; that more radical rottenness will make the country sick at heart, is universally believed: that the keen knife of investigating committees will puncture radical ulcers and hew off radical tumors, is a foregone conclusion; but the people w'ul not be satisfied if only the-- services are performed, however valuable they may The people will not be content with th simple daughter of redie.il w tusks when a grisly like Grant is roaming about irrnm.lested. With eight years of jower, Grani 1ms devt ioped. into a monster. If he had been content to have made a still house of liiir.-elf. and when his term of olliee expired roll out of his presidential chair that he had dishonored, into obe-jrity, the country could have withstood the aNiction and regained its standing among the nations of the earth. Uut Grant was not contend with the gratification of his lH'ath- apptits. He had jower, and in seeking opjortpnities n-r it dip!ay, has disregarded eotistitutio'rs and laws and the binding obligations of hi magisterial oath. The declaration of the Hon. Sam Randall, during the presidential! ciMiipaism, was that the investigating committee" of the hou.-erf representatives were in possession of sutlicient fcts to impeach Grant. The inference is that t he resident was a rar,J' radical frauds tfpon the treasury, and has been enriched by the crimes of hi favorite. That he is profoundly solicitous that ihe archives of the government shall not pass fully into the hands of the democratic party is manifested by his infamous acts to thwart the will of the j-euple in three .sovereign state. If, as Mr. llandall said, there w-re. fact in the jOs.es?i.n of congress before its adjournment sufficient to impeach Grant, what is th- situation now? Since the adjournment of congress Grant lias committed outrages sutlicient to impeach a hundred presidents. He has abso lutely rode rough-shod over constitution,' law, lil-erty and sovereign etat-. S monstrous have been Lis acts of despotism that all - honest, patriotic men have cried out with alarm. Only deep dyed par tisan big"ts have essayed a word in extenuation of his high handed violations of the constitution. His cabinet oßicers are not in harmony with him, and he almost stands alone defying the constitu tion ana the peopde. Already his pliant military toot have commenced heir ex planation, hojng, no doubt,' to shield themselves and their m-sster from the righteous indignation of the people. Under these circuxjtances,w'hat will congress do? What steps will the democratic. houe. of representatives take? Will it hesi tate in this hour when duty demands action? Will democrats permit this opportunity to make CV-sarism and Grantism odious to pass unimproved? We are persuaded such will not be the case. It is not to be considered that the senate would probably indorse Grant and whitewash his crimes. We are of thj opinion that such will be the result. Let that be done. e Jiolu that Grants viola tions of the constitution are the legitimate outgrowth of radicalism. It is a party of fraud and falsehood. To measure lU growth and development, it is only nce.sary to classify its villainies. The rattles on the tails of certain makes tell their age. llad ical frauds and outrages tell the growth and depth of its depravity. If the senate will assumfe the responsibility of allowin Grant to go into obscurity without a verdict of guilty stamped upon him, it should 'not tarn the house of representatives aside from the performance of its duty. If verdict of guilty can not be obtained from the senate, then let the Tacts bo written out and proved, and let the verdict that will damn president and senate together and forever come from the people. The impeachmen of Grant is now demanded by every patri ptic consideration. If the constitution guaran tees protection to states and to the people, let the great truth be reasserted in a form that will carry conviction to all who hear it. If it does not do this, then in the name of liberty, the people can not too soon make a constitution that shall give these guarantees. The Louisiana returning board" was not i long enough, nor wide .enough, nor thick

enough in fact, it was not clear stuffshaky, snppy. rotten. The rads will have to abandon it. It will not iloat them. r?oii furnishes the right sort of timber. tick rnai'AXATiu.v ok tiii: ajiekiC'AX I I. AG. The Journal ffincs to the breeze the American lh.g over the counting in of Hayes by the radical returning boards of South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana. Never was the sacred emblem n-ed lor a baser purpose. It luts hVa?cd from the mast-head of pinto ships; buccaneers of the Spanish main hae looked up to it for inspiration as they Marded rich merchantmen on missions of i obltry and murder, but throwing it to the breeze to commemorate the assassination of three sovereign states and the diserj'rauchisem nt of thousands of American titiz ns. is the basest purpose for which it was' ever used. No loan " who loves his country and reveres the acred emblem of its iwcr and glory, can look upon its profanation by the Journal without feeling his nerves tingle with thame; without bis heart beating faster, and without Iiis blood boiling with indignation.

The future will teil whether the Hag is to remain dishonored bv being used in the nterest of fraud and chicanery, or whether t will be restored to its pristim glory nd wave over a free eojle again. It is for them to say, and if they intend to peak thej- ought to sp-eak at once and ia tones which can not be misunderstood, e.t Wednesday the democratic central ommitn-e of Indiana w ill meet to consider the crisis. It will no doubt call the people together for counsel and deliberar.'on. They w ill heed the call and come bv hundreds in t bv thousands, lhev will come, a earnst men come when called to duty. They will meet together anil take counsel of each ther and tell the world why they meet and why thev tounsci vach other, their voice will go out to the world as the voice of the united democracy of Indiana, and will cheer our brethren elsewhere who are faint of heart and ready to fall by the wayside. Their voice will reach Grant at the ai'ital and make him realize that some of the states live, even if Ids dagger ba-s reached the vitals of three of their sisters. It will Heirate the haunts of the conspirators and make them tremble amid tncir orgies. Jt will demonstrate to the countrv that the oply still love the institutions of their fathers and will see that they are perjfluatcd. And it will teach the radical buccaneers who Seek to ruin the country that the American tlag is an ensign of freedom ind honest government, and not an emblem of slavery and fraud. TiKirriNu or the state central COMMITTEE. Agreeable to the call issued by General Man.son, chairman, the state central com mittee will meet in this city on Wednesday, the 13th inst. It is safe to say that at no period in the history of tlie democratic p;.rty has a central committee been called together to consider oucstions of greater importance than will command the attention of the state central committee of Indiana next Wednesday. The committer -ii j t i . n.. ; ii . win uimouoieuiy i-siie an au.jress 10 me lil-erty loving people of Indiana, and call a mass convention to assemble in this city as earlv- as the 20th inst.

It has called upon the leaders to call meetings, to adopt resolutions and issue addresses. We have in many ways indicated the damning purposes of the radical managers. Wc have lifted into prominence the infamous frauds by which states have been made, against every principle of truth and justice, to cast their electoral yoies for radical candidates, and thus swindle the people, north and south, east and west, out of their choice, and force them to wear the badge of slaves. Returning loard bcoundrelism and military despotism have been faithfully pointed out and now we are glad to believe that Itidianas voice is to be heard. It has been gathering volume and force 'and power. It will be heard throughout the land. If men have grown apathetic it will arouse them to new life; if there are any despondent it will give them courage; if any are doubtful they w ill renew their con fidence; other states will catch the fire, enthusiasm will soon kindle to a llanie, and thousands and tens of thousands of m'eh, who, as they have seen tlie stealthy strides of the radical conpirators,,have almost lost hop, will now reassert their manhood, and in tones not to be misunderstood tell them to cease their infernal work.

WAKING IP. Last evening the democratic electors, after having performed their official duties. met a few gentlemen at the office of K. Hen derson, Ksq., V) talk over the critical situa tion of pmblic affairs. The proceedings will le found elsewhere in the Sentinel, and are of more than ordinary importance and sig nificance. The gentlemen who composed the electoral college represent various por tions of the state, and.are eminently qualified to give positive information in repara to the ieeiings oi me masses upon the infamous frauds that have tieen pr pet rated to overcome the election of the democratic candidates for president and vice president. There is an urgent demand for action throughout the entire state. The people are intensly indignant. They have w itnessed the steady march of fraud and military usurpations by which it is proposed, finally, to reverse their ver diet, and they are anxious to place their protest on record. We congratulate them upon the prospect of an early opportunity to le heard. It is understood that General Manson, chairman of the state central commit tee, in response to the resolutions adopted last night, w ill at once assemble the committee, and that as early as practicable a mass convention will be called to meet in this city. Among the distinguished democrats at the meeting last night the princely form of Hon. P. W. Voorhees was conspicuous. Always popu lar with the masses, Mr. Voorhees, during the recent campaign, added immeasurably to his fame and strengthened the ties that bind him to the rank and file of tlie democratic party. In the near future, from the signs of the times, we conclude the true men of all parties will demand the services of lead ers, and no where in the land will be found one who can strike more telling blows for the right than Hon. D. W. Voorhees. sVnator Tliurman has evidently been reading the Indianapolis (Sentinel. lie speaks of the Rubieon navlng been crosseo. Journal Yes, the Sentinel is in demand.

WMNi,Tox, Dec. 10, President Grant in j the course of a long and free conversation j U-di.y with a representative of the aso-ciat-d press concerning political affairs, said j that recently he received a dispatch from i Govrnor C hainberlain informing him tlint j it was currently rej-jrted in Columbia i that the president had in his interview vvith representative Hewitt. of New York, a week a?o, ren'iarked that w hen ty members of the South Carolina house of representatives holding certificates trom the seeretary of state should convene. 1;e would recognize theni a? the legal hou. .l VenJL'. W!? LtO0".et"0T Wn I I'CUuill. iriri;i,iin:u J Hill IIKIL 11 JieWlllliaU said or authorized the seudin of such a dispatch it was untrue; that he had so expressed himself. The president says he had a free and n?-.-.,-cable conversation with Hewitt in which he said that in his judgment not less than m members were eligible to organize the house and transact the business, including a determination of the qualification of its member?. "'This was the view he then held, but it was merely a private opinion, and he might have been wronp. The presi dent, on mat oeea-ion, further expressed his views with regard to the grounds on which each wing or member of the house respectively claimed their seats, and in this connection the president produced a note addressed to him by Hewitt, dated 'House of Representatives, Dec. ," ps follows: "To the. President ' "I have received a reliable telegram from Columbia, stating that the God memlK-r, holding a certificate from the secretary of state, has been sworn into the house, presided over by fcpeaker Wallace, whieli is therefore organized in accordance with the requirements of the law, as stated by you." Un the same day Hewitt sent him another note, as follows: '-I have just received a later dispatch saying that the supreme court of South Carolina has pronounced its judgment and declared the house presided over by Wallace to be the legally constituted house of representatives, and that Mackey is a private person, not a speaker or in any repect an otiicer of the legislative body." The president said with referenceto these notes, that he did not think after his free conversation with Hewitt that the latter would make use, of what he said for the purpose of defeating tlie party which the president represented. When liewitt and Senator Randolph called on him several days ago he informed Hewitt of the contents of a dispatch he had received trom tiovemor hamterlain and tlie reply lie made to it, and intimated to Hewitt that he thought his confidence had been abused. Hewitt denied that he had sent to Co lumbia such a dispatch as that mentioned. The president tuen repeated to Hewitt the substance of the dispatch in reply to Governor Chamberlain as to the report current in Columbia. oknli'.m hamfton's message. Senator Randolph then produced a dis patch from General Hampton, in which lie said that if the president would recognize the Wallace house and withdraw the troops, he would do everything possible to preserve the peace. The president remarked that he looked upon this as a piece of impertinence on the part of General Hampton in telling him what to do; that the sending or troops to boutn Carolina was in obedience to the call of Governor Chani-l-rlain, the danerer there being too formi dable for the authorities of the state to con trol; that organized rifle clubs representing General Hampton were in the city of Co lumbia, and that if the federal troops should le withdrawn there would be peace, but it would be the rest of death. Senator Ran dolph then explained that the president diould not think that General Hampton sought to advise what te do, and that the dispatch which was shown to the president was a reply to one that Senator Randolph had gent to General Hampton. In response to a question the piresident said that he had never instructed General Ruger to pdaoe troops in the state house, -but that was the way General Ruger understood his orders. The troops were in South Carolina, the piresident reieated, in obedience to the call of Governor Chamberlain to suppress an insur rection too formidable for him to control, and had it not been for these troops Gover nor C hamberlain would be a refugee to-day. as Governor Ames now is from Mississippi. The president said, in "the course of the conversation, that he looked on the situation as embarrassing to say the least. A good deal of bad temper had been shown on the democratic side, and many were acting unreasonably. They seem to fear that he was doing what was right, and were abusing everybody for not yielding to their views. This struck him as strange considering the scenes through which we have passed, Governor Hayes represented the party that carried in the late election all but four of the states that furnished the means for the suppression of the relellion and Governor Tilden carried all but three of those which sought to destroy the union. In allusion to the frauds he said the majority for Tilden in the city of New York was larger than his total majority in the entire state, and in which city much crime is perpetrated and where there is a large number of men wuo have very little interest either in tlie eiaieor in the republic. In the same way frauds were committed in the states of New Jersey and Connecticut. While it was true that those in the south ern states who gave Governor Tilden a ma jority were voters, many of them voted more than once, but nobody claimed that Tilden did not carry such states. The same party that perpetrated the frauds in the southern states for Tilden complain of the frauds in Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina, but if there had been no frauds in Mississippi. North Carolina and Arkansas r these states would have gone for Hayes and heeler. his use or the Taoors. The president justified the exclusion of Laurens and Ldgeheld counties trom the South Carolina returns on , the ground that Georgians voted in them frequently, and cast more votes than there were voters for the democrats. Much had been said about the use of troops, but considering the number of lines sacrificed and the many political mar ders in the Kuth, it was necejisary to afford the required protection. Ihe president thought all was quiet now in the south, and so far as he could he would protect every one from violence. All steps taken to this end had been duly considered. The president in reply to a remark that it seemed that the democrats had abandoned the idea of impeaching him. said he would advise them hot to attempt it for it might bring out evidence which they would not like to see spread on the record. He would rather trust the rebels than their northern allies and tried to say as much in his annual message. He did" not receive all the reports from the departments in time. and therefore he was obliged to leave out of his message many sub jects to which otherwise he would have alluded He said in response to a question that he would answer the house resolution,

and inform tuem wby he scut the troops to

John Watts, one of the electors voted for in Oregon, was. on the 7th day of Novem ber, holding an office of prüt and trust und r the I'nited States, to-wit: Tost master ' f Fayette, county seat of Yaathell t ountv, and had so held that office for more than three years. Many more than the nun.bo of votes constituting his majority had actually passed in and out of his office on o.fli.cial ousines-s. Jiis ofhcial character was generally known and was mentioned during the xiiiiicai discussion ot the canvass. The aw was known and the fact was know n ren dering him disqualified tob. an elector. A pro est wiis hied in the executive off e by prominent citizen objecting to the i-suam-e of a certificate to Watts as a person dijualineu. accompanied tv proot ot h.s disouah..catioti, and demanding that the same isa to the eligible person having the next hljhest number of votes. A rep4y -.v.is f.le-l objecting to anything but the count of the votes and a certificate on the f ount. :.ud making no denial of the di.puaJ:fyiiig facts. It was ruled in tlie case that where the objection to the applicant's ri:ht to rrccivc the certificate rests upon the ground that a constitutional prohibition isit.tt.riosei, the governor acting under his oath to suj.port the constitution, is lound to ci.t rtain and determine tne question; nt only that, but is to determine in b'sch a wav :Zs to enforce the constitutional mandate to the extent of his exetitive power. It wa alo held that the law and Lw-t being well known, the votc cast for the ineligible candidate can :ot 1m- coui.phI for any purpose, and the eligible andidau? having tlie next highest number of voto was duly elected. This ruling va. based Uion standard authorities, such a dishing and Grant, decisions of many court- lili the supreme court and court of appeals f N w ork. later uniform practice in the Unit3!

He, with his mother, Mrs Mary Schupp, and William Shiplej', an employe, were in the back basement of 23 Hoilins street at work loiling sugar, whji they were all seized with dizziness. They made their way as rapidly as their etajc of e.xhaustion would jermit to the yard, St her Schupp fell fainting into tlie arms of his w iff. 'I tei others fell in a half conscku.s condition to tlie pavement. Mrs. Schupp summoned the assistance of her neighbors, and Dr. John Hood was called in and soon restored the mother and young man to consciousness. Mr. Schupp remained in a critical condition until 1) o'clock last night, when Dr Hood, who remained continuously at his side, p-ro-nounced him out of danger. He believes the astack was produood by poisoning from noxious gases arising from the furiav on which they were boiling sugar. In company with a Gazette reporter, he visite-d the hast'tnent w here both the attacis occurred. The room is about 10 feet square, and tho ceiljng not seven feet high,. At the north end is the1 bakfj oven, built in ' the wall, with drafts and other ordinary appurtenances. It has been the habit of Schupp to heat the oven by building a wood hre inside, an, when it had reached the proper temperature to rake out the embers and charcoal which remained, and burn them in a large open furnace w hich he used for melting wigar. This furnace had a pipe running a few inches horizontally from one side to the op, and connected by an elbow with a vert icai pipe three or four feet long, which by another elbow pierced the wail connoting with the chimney flue. The lower elbowclose to where tlie pipe was connected with the furnace was burnt and rusted away, leaving an opening four inches square. Through this ap-erture the carbonic oxide gas generated by the combustion of the charcoal in the furnace could freely pass into the room in quantiti.es sufficently large to asphyxiate a number of persons. The room is entirely without ventilation, and it is a matter cf surprise that other deaths have not occurred on the premises.
