HL.KK, BLU'UER, BLACHIAT. This notorious divine (?) is again tip for criticism, lie has camel an odiou aud ujmt prominence. Ilia reputation i.s be- j mica.-ed by acts, the recital of which rorajwlo iloc-nt people 1o han their heads in confusion. If this rich and portly dispenser oi "LUck rapper" divinity had conbe-rted to retire to obscurity, the Hentintt would have ti content to let him severely alor.. Thi how ever, fs not Iiis programme. Lie baa dote rminid to earn a still wider and tili more odious notoriety. We conclude the vonnVjkT, with the slime of hi.s lechery el'ngivug to his hands and hi, soeil, waaw to continue the gospel busine. Ficture him at the communion table. bmAin bn.sd in oornraemordtiOTt of the ps.von and d-ath of Jesus Christ. Look at his tyvs ad tLoy rest noon the female pyftion of the congregation, overflowing with the drool of unholy paosioa. Look ijt his arms, and think . of whom they have embraced and where. This divine wauts to baptiie more yielding victims. Tb water that be touches in the performance of the riuj would blush, if it could, and would turn sculding hot and strip the leprous lade tr nx hii loathsome carcats. But this elder wan to continue to draw his balary as a epirituul advisor, a laborer' in the religious vineyard, and for this he propose to- fiht. FJack's progrininio discloses mean of fcrvc in strict keeping with the iufauiy of tbe crime with which he stands charged. Ills deep and damning guilt aw.ii.en co feeling o rt morse in hU soul,, no cortritioL-, oo repentance, not cttn shame. With unblushing impudence he prates of ic?.ocence and atks tbe confidence and respect of food ciüici.ö. It is a Ufa and death struggle with bi.uk. H'j is on the ragged edge. Hi true inwürines Ls coming to the surku e. Black wjt.i it grr-at friend of Ve-s "P-rotber Voss." tuvi helped hira in time of need. Black had lived in Voss' ''yard' when "Gorwihe "wm but a child," and so on through all Uie drivel al-ut long ftficnds'hip and deep gratitude. Notwithstanding all this, "Brother 'Vo-wt" en.-jected his minister of tle ttry deeds" that now make Lb nanu, too orTunvire for utterance. Vote and LL family had 'Virted them" and bad ."watched tLeni." What a commentary is this! A taxniiy suspecting their minister . of deed that ivf.DtsJ ears must not hear when they ar? named. Those w ho are anxious to get it :'e bvttoru facts will 'stick a, pin just luru. '".,' Tili K. Black having btreri caugiit at the Sentinel makes public a ' statement uioh seemed to be well anthe-tuicated, but no names were mentioned. Indianapolis has many churches an 1 nitny miuLotert.; th! various denominations of Christians arere presented, but of them all ot.Iy Black regarded ihi statement &s pointing to h'ras If. r.lark eenfeearid, "I am the tas.ii referrt-d to, 'Lut I am not guilty." He adniittod that all thi angers pointed at him bit it: aa an ea-ty niatter to eonrincf Voss, the church, his friends and the w orld of hh iunoo-:ce. To do this it waä only nooe.sju'y U sikow that he was not in t?L Louis with a it ruin ludy, that he did not accompany that lidy un uSe. train to St. Louis. 8ure enough, if thif wer? true, then Ulack w is out of the cra;. Will the reader etick acothcr pin i'L-t here? And now Block commences his df-ium He declared over and oa'ot again v his b-st friends, that on the night that he ae wandering around ft. Lould he wa in Terr Haute. He was particnlar in hu dec-laratk-n poeitir to eoUmnity. A tniniu;r, the pastor of & large and rttablo church, rich, good lot-king and piouK, it did not seem possible that lila,k was deceiving his friends that he was coinMig nioMtrooa falshoods for the vindication of hit name and standing. But alas, such wa the case. He was in St. LouU at the irne he said he was in Tcrre Haute, ad he war! with the woman that h-; aibcrted mot;t oi-ninly he was not witlu This wa.i tbe, initial falshood of the 'case and it has; ben.m; it central untrutii. There is no way to iu.dfy it, no pUiaIon for it; thvre it vtandd it was uttered, a damning, wlthtrinp, cri.-I.'.nc: filshood. Will the reader stick an-otl.-r pin just here? Caught in !hL -initial :'al- staterwCnt, henceforth tha caw luut rvt upon falehoixis corner posts, brace and rafter, trop and bolt, all untruths until Mack' fabric of defense, rickety and tfl'jallid, is eloquent of guilt and proclaims th downfall of Black.' This is Black't, civile, Mack's retreat, i In it he manufacturer his theory of the'cas. his mibtiles, his Nx'Oierani. After denying that he waj in Bt. Lvuis.th.au he traveled with a certain woman, hf in compelled to admit that hia declarations were false, and to manufacture his r'a?!i for g-ng to it. Louis with the wuiTuin in question. We lläve his etory tf hai:ig ajrreed with Voss t furnish an escort from Terre Haute for the woman, of severe cramps and paina, and the'.adiuinintration of bhvk pepper. But at Matton the woman that I3uK.k was escorting was apparently well. At ßu Louiji, in oonipany witli this bick woman, B.ack, who .is eaid to tws rich. instead cf takicg a carriage, ' wandered oat into the dark, and was u long time in nach ing a hotel. At la&t they 'haul - up at tha Lindell, but, as r there' were ,eyts UHn thcra, they again take to the darkness but the photograph' w ith the unerring truth of light, telis where th?y,next emerged Tbe pngeof that register, like the book of fate, tells wLre be pent the night." TLo books that will be opened at the bar of God will cot be more trChful in regard to his crime. With lawyers and detectives day after diy this reversed Black prowl about Bt. LocU In search of falsehoods and those who are willing to awear to them.- 'Bake' and lkjck' Lftre been heard from, a&d will W

rea ly w hen needed. Ht:!l the e&; Is not complete. The initial falehuod stands forth more haggard than ever. The "black pepper tory pl-rys out. The St. Louii police lawyer's l&borawitl not stand investigation. What next? Ah! now conies the Vindication of Black, the crowning Infamy of the ca "blackmail." A gentleman of irreproachable private character, a life lon friend of Black, who jought, we presume, in his hour of trouble to hay to hiiu w ords of sympathy and hope, is made to play a role which only a villain would accept. This man is Black's brother in the church. Bluek Laakes him in his affidavit the chief actöV in his! bla-.k-mailing effort at vindication. In his fall htllwardi;, Black attempts to drag his be.'t friend down w ith him by covering him w ith infamy, by trj ing to blast his reputation as a roan, as a Christian and a citizen. This vile charge Mr. Piercy ptamps as fal-te and libelous. Black's sworn statement is thus publicly pronounctd a lie. Every man connectel with the 8entinel, in any way, will pronounce it so far as thy are concerned, a lie mean, malicious and cowardly. What has Black's case to rest upon? His vindication starts out with A falehood and ends with a falsehood. Black w'ould have been better off by claiming in extenuation of his crime that he was

insane.' That when he left Terre Haute his paSoions had trinapled over hi; rt'Sjn, his judgment and Lis con-science; that tut ani mal in htui had bulldozed the spiritual, and made him forgetful of wife, home, kindred,' church, friends and God, and everything dear to decent people' Black bee ids to think he can stand it, Htand it he must. He can not extricate h'uuself. His crime will follow him through every lane and avenue of life. an-i it will haunt Lim when dying. TUE NISKRlRESt:TATIOS OI THE IttDICAL TREKS. Tliey (tbe republicans have not evtno! th hllt;bttiliH Itlon totitraln the moeblnry of government, or to lutlunce 'y clamor the . . .11.. . r . 1 n . . . Tlie Chicago Times has the temerity to a-k tlie question, "Ij tliere any' American humor?" when quotation like the above are flying in fiocka through the radical newspaper. The New York Tiniee formulated the above, but the same exquisite bit of humor apjears In varying language in all the rad ical papers, notwithstanding tbe fact that for the last few weeks tbe radical leaders in Washington and the organs of the party throughout the country are engaged In tbo revolutionary attempt to strip congrt es of all authority that the constitution gives it, when' the electoral votes are to be counted, and to inve&t the president of the tsenatc with powers heretofore unln ard of. They have Ion!a;joiatisfied themselves that it is almost their only remaining divcrale chance to savt Mr. Hayes, and now comes tbe national radical key-note sounder, the New York Time and fqntaks out that there has not been an); "disposition to strain the rnachin'tryjof government" on the part of this radical party. Well, perhaps the Times Is right. Instead of "straining it" the parly' ha done its level lvct to emash the whole; ctHKtru. Grant "damns the wi pre nie court' and props up the rotten radical state gov trnraenta of tiouth Carolina and Louisiana with his bayonets. Again, when the su preme courts of South Carolina and Florida are endeavoring to settle in a quiet, dgni6ed way the troublee growing out of radical ras cally" returning boards, then under orders from Washington there appear two federal judge, Judge Bond in South Carolina, and Judge Wood in Florida, Interfering with and blocking np th legal operations of thebe highest state tribunals. The .Times is . perhaps . right, we rtpeat. Tchese attempts have the look of a deliberate pian;to "smash things." "Htrnining the machinery of government" Is altogether too weak an Repression to apply to such attempts of arbitrary tools of power. Years ago the nation was warned, art from time to time ( the Jacobins, who teemed to gravitate toward the leadership of the radical party, begun to encroach step by step upon the- old landmarks; to overturn all the sacred monu ments that had been put up from time to time to mark the nation's progre?, and to laugh at the traditions cf our past glory and happiness.' The patriotic and conservative great ones anior.g them, as Trumbull, Adama, j Puiuner. Ctaue, firteley, Julian, Pal mer and a great Lowt besides, took w arning in time'and left the party in the hands of such mt-nlas Morton, Chamlter, Cauierotv Jim Blaine, John Logan and Bob Ingersoll. The mtxt' wonderful feature in this diabolical march of a great party bell ward is that, a very respectable number of very respectable people cling to it with a tenacity that is aUgether unexplai nable. A programme is ar ranged by a ' few desperat head devils at 'Washington to deliberately swindle Mr. Tilden out of the presidency first by an attempt at systematic fraud in several northern states, and being foiled in this,; then through a new and Ingenious piece of the devil' own mechanism called a "returning board," this lat er', working like acharm, proving, up to this writing at least, a perfect success; then a Buccassion of ratifying radical rascality, meetings are arranged for.and held in. prominent places. Here, then, is another stage of this strange feature, that thse who are called the best men in this radical party, with some few noble exceptions, meet and stamp with approval in unmistakable languag. this whole rascally programme, azid all imlor.-ed, heartily and thoroughly, by tlie radical organs. We thiuk that when another Buckle wriua .another "HUtory of Civilization", he will, be considerably. norjJuascd to reconcile some,( of the promineut feature. , of'; ihh . party's progress to demoralization, defeat and ruin , when he. comes, .to. consider the status of men and measures at the close of the first bentury of ..r liatienal existence. In the face, then, of all these iucidenta that we bring to notice of the lawlessness and recklessnera of the radical party, how is it possible, we aak, for an editor of a large and

influential metropolitan journal to jo tre-pi-KS upon the intelligence of his readers and upon the truth of recent and well know n events as to formulate a lie into an iutelli-r.-nt shape like thia: "They (the republiVans) have not evinced the slightett difpo'eition to strain tlie machinery of govern'ment, or to influence by clamor the proceedings rf congress," As Iwe remarked in a former article, when you read the opinion of the New York Times you have that e.f all the radical provincial press; and, therefore, the same faloe assertion may be found in recent editions of the Cincinnati Gazette and Comme'rcial, aleo the Journal ef thU city and other radical printy, foratdated in varjing expresoion and phrase.

THE EIGHTH Of JAMFAKY. On Thursday of this week, the 4th imt. the legislature of Indiana assembles the cIiommi representatives of the jeople meet to deliberate in regard to the interests of the commonwealth; but we venture the aoaertion that the convention that ia to meet on Monday next, the 8th inst, in this city is regarded by a great majority of the people as the more importaut. The legifclature may incidentally refer to national affairs. rkme referenc may be made to the jolitical eituatiou. iK-elai ns may be made favoring honest elections and an honetit count, and speeches may be tnado glorifying the ballot-box. But the busiriees of the ctmvention will bo to give expre-Mon to the popular voice upon . the all-ahsorbing topic of radical frauds by which the infamous purose is distloed to reverse tiie will cf the people as declared at the ballot-box in November Iut. Never before in the history of the countrj' was such a problem submitted to the people for solution. Tlie radical party, having debauched every department of the government and made a reputation of indescribable infany, seeks to retain jower bv robbing the people of theironly means of redrew, an honest ballot. Confronted with a popular Uiiiority over their candidates for presideut and vice preeident, of more than a quarter of a million of votes, with a clear majority of the electoral votes, the managen1, defying constitution and law, deliberate; 'i'4 the overthrow of libcrty'e fsafeguardi, . .id declare that their party has triumphed. The people of Indiana, in convention asfrerabled on the 8th instant, w ill discuss this pbae of the situation. We are awnreni that every word t-pokea will be proj-erly weighed. Th gravity of the subji'cts demanding dclHenition Warrant the conclusion tfcat the deep abhorrence of the people for radical villainies will find expression. No quarter will be shown returning l-oard cQ?iiratori:, and those who conteiaplate forcing ujoii the country a president by the agency of fraud and perjury will learn that the people of Indiana aru ia earnest in their opposition. Tbo indications uow are that the attendance will be immense. 1 Kvery county in the fcfate will be represented. The people were never more thoroughly aroused, and tLt-ir liberties were never in greater peril. The w hole country is looking to Indiana Hnd waiting for her to .speak. It is well. The country will hear words of truth and soberness. The people of other states will realize that Indiana is Dot unmindful, of her duty. Her words may be few, but they will command attention. They will eicile a bol'er reverence for constitutions, ' law and i lit-ertv. ' They will awuken a deeper ' detestation of cotiKtitratora who in the interest of the radical party propose to triumph. by the means of agencies that freemen and brave men can not tolerate. Graut e bayonets will not dismay nor dishearten the men who will meet in this city on the Mh of January to protest against returning board frauds and military interference in elections, and we are satisfied t.'iat the convention will have a most salutary influence throughout the country The New's says that the plucky old democratic bird is "an emblem" of ignorant bravado." and wants the dear old fellow buri Jd in the market report?. We do not see why, In its way, "ignorant bravado" is not as val nable as "intelligent bravado," but we suppose the News intended in a bungling sort of way to insult the democratic party. If the News thinks the. democratic rooster represents ignorance, 'then we want to amend the proposition to bury him in- the market reports by placing him very prominently at the head of the News's editorial pae. It ought to have an assort ineut of little roo?ers to sprinkle generally through the iper. ' The radical pers say that their candidate for president waa eWcted according to law, and shall be inaugurated according to law. Ferbaps it is the kind of law the Nation refers to when it speaks of "Mexican juri.prudence." They could always find plenty of "law" and ."precedent," even if they had to hunt for them among other nations. Consent. The Nation thinks that no matter who else come to the surface between now and the 4th of March, that in any event we have seen the .last of ''Zieh" and his politics. Now if we could only add to him Jim and Bob and Ol. 'What a glorious quartette of ''don't care a d ns" it is. .

It ha been boasted by a prominent Iowan of radical proclivities', that ho cm. by a single sound of his bugle, call 40,0no men to arms to assist in the forcible inauguration of Hayes. Now this is all cha:T. It is a lie, w hether ho be conscious of it or not, on th justice loving people of lown.

Four years hence, if Hayes should be inaugurated, neither Hendrieks'nor Tilden could carrv four states of the Union.

For some time part "glove tis-hts-"' have been among 1 lie jrathttic sports patronized by Boston bloods, and permitted by the police authorities. To-d;'.y one of these affairs occurred whh h w ill b likely to put a damper on the business for the present These exhibitions have taken place in some of the sporting halls or billiard roonit-, and have been to . l intent and purports prie rights, the contestants fighting for door money, and regular rings, with seconds, time keepers, referee, etc, being chosen, firrt knock down, lirwt blood, etc., being claimed and allowed. Some two or three weeks ago a tight of thi" kind took place at the Polaris Hovai iilliard rooms between MarcuM Baker, of this city. and Ed Crockett, of Kock land, Miiie, which resulted iu a draw. The men were badly punished so badly that Baker has not yei recovered. On this occasion Captain Furd, of the Third police Ftation, in whose district the atfltir took place, ie said to have been present; alsa number of policemen. Today a similar right took plaoc in Revere hall, a sporting head inartcrs, lOo tickets at 2 each being issued, and on this occasion also.it in said, police officers of rank were present. Though nominally trlove-fights. the gloves used are a mere pretense, being so thinly padded and with such bard malerial that they are virtually as hard as the men's liat. Today's combattaiits wre Paddy McDennot anil Danny Davidson, both members of a sporting club known as the Howard association, and both about jM years old. The fight grew out of a dispute which the men got into in tbe tluh room a few days ago, and that resulted in a public sparring match at Cambridge, with ordinary dox-ing-glovet', in which they participated. Today's assemblage was largely made up of high-toned bloods of sporting proclivities, and wa3 attended by ait the outside appearance of a regular ring fight Fourteen rounda were fought with Ftiecees, and when time was called for the fifteenth both men were bo badly punished that they were some 15 minutes in coming to time, and then they had to be pushed up by their seconds. After a few exchanges Davidson fell and was helped to a chair, in which he died in a few minutes. It is said that rHividon was out of condition, having been auric ring from heart disease or pleursy. He weighed some 14.S pounds, and McDermot. w ho was in splendid order, 174 pounds. McDermot, the seconds and a number of spectators were arrested, and the latter were bailed la $S0 each. TNDEU THE RIVER. A Project Car Cirr, Ing Ilitllroail Train . Thron s h a Tuunel I'nder Detroit lifter. - , letrolt Free Tree.. F.x-City Supervisor Eugene Robinwm hn invented a device for tunneling Detroit river. It is called a portable ooüer tum. and both Mr. Robinson and , his business partner, Jft-e II. 1'arwell, ltave the utmost confidence in their' ability- to construct a tunnel . with its aid as easily as to dig a sewer in any street in the city of Detroit. They ofl'er to whom it may concern to build a" tunnel 20 feet In diame'er for $3.500.000. dej-ositing $.30.000 in advance of beginning the work, to be forfeited in case of failure, and- agreeing o take $.vy,00O in tunnel company stock. Mr. Robinson's invention Is built on" purely scientific principles, and it has been-thoroughly tested on a small scale as to its adaptability for ' the kind of work proposed. ' The dam consists of a float made of boiler iron and timbers 10 by SO feet in extent and 5 feet deep, forming a chamber which, rilled with water, enables tlie operators to sink the machine. From the center of this float rise two iron shafts of sufficient height to project well above the surface of the river. On the bottom, of the tloat is a sharp steel shoe which being pressed into the earth excludes the water from rushing in under the flor.t. S3 iru liar eboes are attachea to the bottoms of the shafts. When anchored on the bottom the -water is pumped out of the big chamber and workmen go down the shafts at the bottom of which they can work in perfect security. Thedirt is hoisted np to the surface through the shafts and then disposed of In the usual manner." .This invention of Mr. Robinson has been examined by other practical cngiueers who have pronounced ' ' it just the . thing needed1 for' that .das of work.' ' The inventor's . own .experiments, with a working model have fully; confirmed hi faith in the device. A letter waa received in this city yesterday from Oeneral Sooy Smith substantially renewing his first offer to build a tunnel under a guarantee that it will be taken off hia hands - when completed. Mayor Lewis's attention was abo again called to the subject, and it is probable that lie willcali a meeting- for some day next week to. consider the momentous question. . ' -' 'V

AIJONG THE DEAD.

Tour of Exploration to a Baltimore Directing' Room. ArllMte Operation I pon Pickled Unit nxnlH of llnmnnify. Baltimore Gazette.) On the northeast corner of Imbard and Greene strrets stands the Maryland University School of Mtditine, with its low window, heavy overhanging portico and low, ungainly dome. It is surrounded by a hifrh brick wall w ith but a sinle iron portal, giving t the gloomy building a still more forbid ing appearance. Entering the enclosure just afu-r dusk, before the street lamps enliven the scene by tlieir weird shadows, the name strange feeling creeps over one as upon entering a graveyard at night. There is something in the air which speaks the presence of the debrted. Ujsjn entering the main hall the j mitor is found just ?oing np to light tha dissecting room for the students, who will soon be coming in f ir their evenirg's work. Ascending the wirvdingstairway. and groping along thelark pavsage-s, with many ups and downs and harn corners, the room was finally reached. The janitor enteivd, lighted the apartment, and returning said quietly "Not a very inviting j-cene for one who ia not usd to iU" The janitor of a medical colie-ge ia everywhere an interesting character, and thi one is no exception. He is well built and strong, hi hair and whiskers are slightly gray, but his )eeu!iar dry withered face and vast personal knowledge of the school room from its very foundation make bis age niidetennicHbie. It is lie who has for the last half ccnttirv procured all the subjects for the dissecting room, by shipment from other places, which he denominates a "dantrrodd practice," or from other unknown -source. His morning hours are spent among the vata i;i the cellar where the "stifTV arc laid away in brine during the summer for winter use. and w here he injecis the arteries and veins of ea-h new subject, to allow their being followed by tlie dissector's knife. He is perfectly happy about hid work. In fact he lov-s his profession ai a physician or lawyer his, and the handling of the dead has almoet become a woond nature to him. A new subject has to be laid upon the table, he ay?, as a new clas is going to commence work. Calling his assistant 'bey dripred a corpse from a 'neighboring room, the whole length oi the apartment, and catching it hy its extremities with a powerful swing they landed it heavily upon on- of tlie high rid 1 tables. The room is hipth and narrow, with a long row of sabjes on either si Je, a major, ity of which already bear their burdens of defunct human forms. The year's work at dissecting is already w 11 commenced, and now that evening has fairiy set in the students commence to come up in clumoe of four and five, don their dd coats or long aprons, and begin their etudicsc Here are four who have but lately embarked upon the ir work. The outer tissue of their subject having been cut and folded back they are examining the outer layers of me-les. At the next .table a similar group isstudving nut the connections of the muscles and long silvery tendon? of the forearm with movements of tlie linger joints. T!o next subject is, or was, a "gentleman of color." Iiis thick skuil ha been sawed off' just above the (.yi liruws. and the rfeiiioitMtraior is explaining the convolutions of the bruin and the ventricles to a.s many student? a, can get round the table. On the opposite side of the room is a croup around a nil-croscope studying specimens' of. mucous membrane taken from different parts of the alimentary canal. Near them are others learning the action of the valves of the heart by blowing ir.toe.ncof the or'Srcs through a Mow pipe, and over in the corner three pale book worms are gathered close around an irregular pile of bones like a pack of eager and h unary wolves. The new gang have jii come in. and the foremost bUir? out: Hallo, another unfortunate gathered to bis fathers. When did they bring that stiff up?" "He was here when we came," said one of the students, scratching hij ear with his scalpel; "he's the best one that's been tip yet, and you are the lucky ones to do the cutting on him." The new comers soon donned their old clothes, gathered around their victim, and commenced the niost disagreeable operation connected with dissecting the cleaning of their subject. The laws of almost ail states recognize the necessity of providing subjects for medical dissection, tut few of them make any provision for it, and those that have been made Lave been found valueless. Occasionally a Washington Beau Brummel ia found in a western college, or a baby in which Mark Twain ia interested turns up in a Bonton dissecting room, or a McNamara is imprisoned fcr snatching the body of a relative, and great caution for a time i necee-jary. The trade still continues, however, and mnt continue under cover of the night and profound secrecy until laws are enacted to meet the demands of the cave, or public opinion on the subject has undergone a revolution. Sir Titus Salt, just deceased In England, was one of the largest manufacturers of woolen goods in Great Britain. He was best known aa the founder of the village of Paltaire, ooenpiod by hia workmen.' A New York paper says of it: "tNtltaire U.more than a ullage it is ft town occupied by the 0,000 working people of the mills. . The streets are wide and the ImiMir eoniiuodions. Scniutry regnlHt'ion are strictly enforced; schools, ch'.irches, libraries, and other u.aeful institutions have been freely supplied. But the met that iu other respect the relations of employer andcmpiojd are the same as exists in other manufacturing regions, and that sn almshouse is prominent among the free institutions there, show that Sir Titus did not altogether aveceed in aolvinc the problem of social science wiasti complete the reconciliatioa of capital and labor. Another proof of this is een In fh fact that within the past year 'his C.000 workmen have been on a strike."
