1I1E t IXCZ.ATI CMtETTi: AM I TS CIIAKUK r DKJIOfBATIC I'KAl'D. Tbe Cincinnati Gazette, with an irr pudence sublime fur its audarity, vt i.turto a chaw ü.at New York an! ludanu were carried for Mr. Tilden ty fraud. As to the former state "Little Johnny Paveni-ort," an authority that 53 considered very high with radical.-, says positively that the election in New York was fairly conducted. Th! Pavenport.is a radical appointee to the oöice of inspector of elections and wa-s elected be- " cause of his peculiar sharpness ar.d his evident litness for an office of the kind named. Tiie Cincinnati Gazette Las a very select circulation, confined principally tu a few old 'citizens, male and female, who live priucipidly in and around Cincinnati. Its principal business is to prevent these old ladies from losing respect for the radical party, and It therefore soothes the old folks on a weak sort of gruel with an' occasional eulogy on the honesty, patriotism and at-i tatnmenta of the radical party.. This, naturally enough, they get tired of, and then it makes a bugaboo of the democratic party and tries tossare them. This lias the etfect; of 'ati-sfyln them completely, and the ..dear old souls not having access to ol her pui-ers, tare living contentedly iu the opinion that; the Gasette is the only paper p-jb!Lhf d and that the radical party is ' 'altogether the purest, most patriotic that the' country has ever produoed. Good joke on the eld folks. This charge of frauds by democrat made in Thursday's isie is in the ' same article in which it endeavors to palliate aud t-Jt plain the premium rascality of the century, as perpetrated by the iufamous returning boards, and for proof of which we Lave creditable republican evidence General Ridow, as to Florida, and Mr. Robert Carr, of De Sota parish, Louisiana, as to that state. TUs- latter gentleman was - counted In by tho rascally returning boards, and had the manliness to come forward and acknowledge tbit he was fairly floaten by his democratic opponent, and would not be "counted in," but refused the office. As to frauds in Indiana. There are only one set of ballot-box tuffers and manipulators in this country that we thick are entitled to rre-eminence over our home made radical set, and .they are the coterie that preside over the political elestinies of Philadelphia. With a population two hundred thousand less than that of New York, Philadelphia voted three or . four thousand more votes than New York did last November. They registered thirty-seven thou.'and bogus names. When we sav that this wLole machinery id in the hands of radicals, we r.eed say no more. Wc prorate that these Philadelphia scoundrels have second premium anyhow this year. The returning boards have alieady secured the first. We say thjn, after these Fhiiadtlphia rascals, we introduce t the Cincinnati Gatitte the next most accomplished set of ballot-box swindlers in the world. Right, here in Indiana (iuvtrnor Hendricks was probably swindled out of his election in li"J3 ht certainly was beyond ail controversy in , If und it was only by the most skillful detective instnimenUliiy that he barely got through in lfc72. The truth is that he has become to accustomed to being swindled out of his election, that he will be one of the most disappointed men in the country if he finally arrives in the vice presidential chair. In this county of Marion the democracy were swindled as regularly as the elections came around. We have radical authority for saying that our old friend Henry Nelson carried this township at one time by twelve hundred majority and his opponent was counted in by three hundred. "Who can forget the picture whoever witnessed it of old John Wallace standing outsi-le of the court house window one crip October Section ruornin, a few years a'o, end shaking his fist at the professional ballot-box stutters within, made thera tremble, as he told them he "knew'tnough 'about them to send them to the peniten'tiary?" Who can forget the mob of last fpring, roaming at will over the city and voting five toten times each, ?nd the confidential letter found afterward, in Lieh one radical tol l his brother rad to "hurry and 'send some well dressed negroes'' to an up town poll? But one of the grandest pieces of acouudrelJsm in this line was done in Morgan county, our adjoining county, in 1S.VJ. Hundreds of illegal votes were cast, and th- facts afterward proven by republican witnesses. Fraud of the most gro and shameless character was perpetrated, aided and abetted by republican election officers; votes were imported; minors voted, the box stniTed and fraudulent poll 'lists made. In one township there was one fictitious Hat of seventy -eight voters. In another men's names appeared who had been dead for yearn; one had been dissected eleven years before. After this election one of the deeated democrats contested the election of his opponent and was successful. Maj r Gordon, late candidate on the radical ticket for attorney general, was the lawyer for the contestee. He arose before the evidence was completed and seid: "May it please the 'court, in behalf cf my associate counsel and "mycllent I arise for the purpose of with'drawing all defend in this case. Thtfrawls 'in tme township alone are sufficient to overcome 'the majority of my plkut. We rxuke a rttrcu'U i eompltte retraction, abandon the contat and gu-td the e-ffie." .. ; ' ' , We might . Oil column after . column, with nn account .' of the .frauds perpetrated by the radicals of Indiana for th last twenty years. Yoüng' nun, mi'iOM, voted in this city time aud again, with the full knowledge and consent of th- ir parentswho were respectable republicans and thev wtre even commended for it. "Anything to beat denjcrats" was the excuse. Twenty yea.rs ago a delegation of republicaa tlite4 -lMUiitfore, md rcUed

instructions there from the plugugliea and ballot-box stutters of that city. Since then right here has been the leading finishing school, and wtiat is not taught here in that department has been laid afcide for tomething better. Radiating from the center, this corruption ha.- tpread out into Hamilton, . Hendricks and Morgan counties, Wayne, Randolph and Delaware, . Any time enough bogus radical majority can be secured in these six counties to carry Indiana. The half has not been told. We" stop here for the present, as we began by alluding to the sublime impudence of the Cincinnati Gazette in daring to open its mouth as to

i the frauds of any other party, when its own is so thoroughly rotton aid corrupt. . i T II K 5E W T CA E. As we write 1870 is wrapping the drapery of Lis couch around him and preparing to join the caravan of years and centuries that have lasted on before. Its record, when the books are unsealed," will be interesting. When 1S76 Is called to the witness stand the inquiry is not likely to be ' with regard to the advancement in trade and commerce, the price of of gold or the value of bonanza stocks. The go Us are not speculators on 'change or the otreet.. Rut what of the elevation of humanity? What of the area of liberty? What of the expansion of toul? What of men, : who, during the year 1876, have sought to make the world letter men who have opened up' new avenues of thought and invited the toiling millions to higher and nobler aspirations? In response w hat can 1876 reply? Stanley is blazing out pathway through the tnrra ittmgniUi of Africa. Japan is owning her ports to the civilizing and enlightening influence of commerce. The Turks, holding fast to their animosities against Christ and Christianity, propose to measure arms with Russia. The ' islands of the tcean are coming under the sway of the Cross, and the day is dawning when " Jesus hall reign where'er the un Potu his successive Journeys run." 6o far, all is well. But is this all? The cross-examination wrings from 1876 disclosure anything but complimentary. It leaves w ith a war cloud hovering over Europe. The time has not come for peace on earth. Bpears are not made- into pruning hooks, nor swords into plow-shears. Spain crushes out independence of thought, France is a republic only in name, Mexico is in the throes of another revolution, and the United States of America is in the graap of a set of infamous conspirators, who, in the interest of fraud, arc w illir.g to light the fires of civil war. On the whole, we conclude that 1876 will not be able to make a very impressive showing. As yet the devil is too omnipotent in the affairs of this world. 1S78 goes out under a cloud. The new year, unfortunately, inherits a good many dillicult problems. 1377 is not to have a fair wind and tide. If we are to pay any heed to the signs of the time?, there will be wars and rumors of wars. If humanity advances it will be our rough roads. If men reach higher altitudes cf independence, it w ill be owing to ttrong wills and strong arms. Liberty spriugs spontaneously from no soil. It is an exotic in all climes. Tower never relaxes its grasp. If men resolve to ne free, they assume responsibilities of the greatest gravity. During the year 1677 they will be compelled to solve the problem. They may cower and be slaves, they may assert their, birthright and be free. They may quail before conspirators and quietly receive their fetters, or they may stand by their rights, and though extled to "fame's 'eternal camping ground,' they may scatter Meed that shall bring forth truit an hundredfold in the ' interest of liberty. If we read aright the outlook, 1877 will be big with events." As certain as the days dawn tht-re will be ademand for pluck in this country as well as elsewhere. If humanity niaku any advancement over kings and those who claim to rule by divine right, it will be because the people assert their right and maintain them without regard to consequences or sacrifices. The years are nothing except as they afford opportunities for the assertion of the rights of man. If men are to be held in eternal servitude to kings and aristocrats, tLe sooner the heavens are rolled " together as . a scroll and mundane afairs receive their quietus the better. But we do not care to indulge in doubts as to results. Wc prefer to believe thai the world of humanity is advancing, risin?; that truth is asserting her God-given prerogative, and will eventually triumph. We prefer to believe that during the year 1877, whose first pulsebeaU - we now hear, will within the twelve months of its existence record the truths that the world has been much better; that men have gained higher elevation of -thought and purpose; that the area of freedom has widened; that liberty is more firmly established, and that God reigns and influences the councils of men. Nothing doubting and full of trust, the Sentinel greets its readers, patrons aud friends and wishes them a happy new year. TWESTT.FIVK YKAIttt. AGO. Twenty-five years ago "Millard Fillmore was president of the United States And Joseph A. Wright governor of Indiana, Time dies so rapidly that it does not seem long to those who have been actors on the stage of life tince Taylor died and Fillmore became president. But a quarter of a century has passed since then, and with it most of those who then occupied places of prominence in the public eye. Daniel Webste r was secretary ' of state, and had just penned his celebrated letter to the Chevalier Hulsenitnn, the Austrian thnrge Tajfaire$, which is probably the ablest state pfiper ever written by an American. It was, when written, and still is, recognized as the best exposition of American principles that has ever been made. It was sent in reply to an official &oUddreüd to ilr. Weluttr by the Aus- '

trlan oftcial, in reference to revolutionary

movements in Hungary, and complaining of instructions given A. Dudley Mann, an agent of our government, by the administration of General .Taylor. Thomas Corwin, the "Buckeye wagon boy," the wittiest man cf that day, was secretary of the treasury; N. K. Hall T-as postmaster g.neral; Alexander 11. 11. Stuart secretary of the interior, C. M. C mrad secretary of war, W. A. Graham secretary of the navy, an! John J. Crittenden attorney general. Of these eminent men, the only one now living is Mr. Stusrt, and he has gone almost entirely out of public notice. The senate of the United States then contained more eminent men than it Las ever before or since. With the exception of Mr. Calhoun, who had died a short time previously, and of Mr. Webster, who left the Kenate in the summerof 1350 to become Mr. Fillmore's secretary of state, no public men since the time of Jetforson and Hamiltou would compare iu character, influence and ability with the leading senators of that dav. William It. King, who afterwards became vice president, was there; so was John C. Fremont and Stephen A. Douglas; Henry Clay and Lewis Cass; William H. Seward and Thomas Ewing; Salmon P. Chase and John Bell; Sam Houston, Thomas H. Benton, and several others almost as eminent as thee we have named. Indiana was represented by Jesse D. Bright and James Whitcornb. They are both dead. California was represented by John C. Fremont and William M. Gwinn; Mississippi by Jefferson Davis and Henry S. Foote, and Iowa by George W., Jones and A. C. Dodge. These are the only ttes whose then senators are now living. The only senator ' of that day who now sits in the senate is Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine. He was elected vice president in lSGO.on the ticket with Mr. Lincoln, and at the expiration of his term was returned to the senate In addition t those named General James Shields, then a senator from Illinois, and Robert M. T. Hunter, then one of the senators from Virginia, are still living. General Shields has a remarkable history. An Irishman by birth, he is an American by choice, and as patriotic an one as ever lived. Shot through the lung at Cerro Gordo, he was reported to the war department by General Scott as having been fatally wounded; but he still lives, while the man who sent the report has been in his grave for many years. A senator from Illinois and a senator from Minnesota, he came near being elected a senator from California. A gallant soldier in the war of the rebellion, he came out of it with new laurels added to those he won in Mexico. When the war was over he was elected to congress from Missouri by an iramontö majority, but was refused his feat for being a democrat. He is another illustration of the m idnessof that hour in Missouri which ascribed all the loyalty to one political party and all the disloyalty to another, although the latter contained such men as Shields and Flair. General shields was in Indiana during the late campaign, and did valiant work for Tilden, Hendricks and reform. Ii is reported that Governor Phelps, of Missouri, will give him a position in the government of that state. . It is hoped that this is true, for if there is a man in the country who deserves recognition for his gallant services, that man is General Shields. Ex-Senator Hunter, of Virginia, occupies a josition in the government of that state which yields him barely a support. He still comes before the public occasionally, but his influence is gone, and his place in the control of the affairs of that state has been taken by others. The representatives in congress from Indiana twenty-five years ago were Nathaniel Albertson, Cyrus L. Durham, John L. Robinson,George W. Julian, William J. Brown, Willis A. Gorman, Edward W. McGaughey, Josepn E. McDonald, Graham N. Fitch aud Andrew J. Harlan. Of these Messrs. Punham, Julian, McDonald and Fitch ttill live. Mr. Fitch afterward became a senator from Indiana and Mr. McDonald now occupies that position. Judge Dunham is practicing law in New Albany and Mr. Julian lives at Trvington, near this city. The only man now in como"e?s who was a member twentyfive years ao is Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, the ex-vice president of the confederate states. He is in feeble health and rarely appears in his seat, but when he does gYeat consideration is shown hin by his fellow members. , Many are the changes which have taken place in the last twenty-five years, and in no place are they more pjrceptible than in the administration of tha general government and in the character of our public men Carpet-bag-ers man without either talents or character fill th? places then occupied by Clements and King, by Downes and Soule, and, until recently, those filled by Mangum and B idgerand by Rusk and Houston. But the diy ii coming, aud will soon be here, when all the states of the Union will send t Washington tit representatives of the intelligence of their people. The war talk has suddenly caased in the democratic paper Probably the proper wire li is heeu pulled from headquarter. N. V. Tribune. Democratic papers have declared that the people know their rights and will maintain and defend them and if that is what yoa call "war talk" you will continue to hear it. Blackmttltng is a practice not hlgbly esteemed ainomr jrentlemeu. We von um this remark as a general proposition. Journal. 4 And Insinuating what a man dare not state aquarely and freely ,i a practico not esteemed anion? gentlemen, and only the lowest order of driveling cpwards will engage in it. We venture ' the 'remark with special reference to our extract from the Journal. PL Touis Rerniblicnn: "Every preacher In St. L-mi and throughout the country should say a fw words," says the Globe-Democrat, "on the 8uMet of tetuperani-e."
