INDIANA AND TIIE ELECTORAL B1TRM5ti BO A It r NWISDLE. Early in the presidential campaign, and in fact before the first gun was fired, the yes of the whole country were turned upon Indiana. There were indications of a political fight of more than usual stubbornness and fierceness. Parties were finding the dividing line and intensifying its vividness. The radical saw their danger and commenced fanning to a Ware the Blumbering fire of sectional hate nd party malignity. A democratic congress had penetrated the dens of radical thieves and dragged forth crimc3 sufficient in number if each had been a brick to have duplicated the pyramid, or, if liquified, to have made the oceans black as ink or red as hell. It bad stripped the robes of deception from distinguished leaders of the radical party, and compelled them to stand in the pillory and receive the jeers and denunciations of honest men of all j-arties. It had driven, frauds from their secret hiding places and tracked them to the very door of the white bouse, and it had discovered the hidden sources of radical corruption, foul as the filth of eewers, and mapped out the .course of fäe, rOM frVIU Washington to, Ihe remotest outposts of Giant's authority. Thin work had been performed by democratic representatives of the people in the interest of honet government. It was expected, therefore, that the radical party would move as much of earth, heaven and hell as lay in their power to retain its ascendency for the purjose of arresting the further exposure of its villainies, and it was expected that Indiana would be the chosen theater for tlie display of the mightiest effort of iU leader?. In this conclusion democrats were not dLsapiinred. Morton, who combines in lit make-up more dog and de7Ü than any living thing, having a remote resemblance to man, opened the campaign for the thieves, scathed and limping with the displeasure of hid Maker, with a soul as dead to honest convictions as his legs are to feeling, with a thirjt for power and vengence as insatiable as a tiger's for blood; with hates as implacable as a fiend, and a conscience as bereft of sensitiveness as a putrifaction O. P. Morton indicated the policy of his party and flung to the breeze his t4oody shirt, symbolizing, like the pirates' black flag, "No quarter." The democracy of Indiana accepted the i&rae, and entered the conflict under the banner emblaxoned with "Tilden, Hendricks and reform." We need not trace the conflict step by step as it proceeded. It will live in the mini; of those who witnessed the displays of courage on the part of the democracy and the resorts to fraud, duplicity and mendacity that were the chief weapons of the radical leaders and orjrans. The people of the entire state were aroused. The radical, with their army of officeholders, with their stolen plunder and coffers overflowing with money wrung iro.ti government employes, were sleepless in their vigilance, untiring in their labors, ami unscrupulous in their plans, and nerved by the fear of exposure if overcome, they fought with the desperation of despair and with the malignity of devils. Bat truth prevailed in TnMiana in October, and was followed by a second victory in November. The news, as it was flashed over the country, rejoiced the hearts of patroits in other states, and the announcement came back that truth had triumphed; that Tilden and Hendricks were elected, the truth tkat has since been brought into conflict with perjury and whic h by the action of men eteeped in crime is likely to be crushed, We do not care to rewrite the biittory of the inf.unoui crime that have been brought intonation to reverse the' decision of the ieople. Indiana, as she stands bowed before the infamous record made in South Carol n a, Florida and Louisiana by the radical party, realices as no other state can realise the deep damnation of the plot. The slimy track of the conspirators is ai distinct as tlu fiery flow of a lava tide. They are highways of crime, with perjuries for tmides and returning boards to point the way to the dismal wimp of the electoral commission, where auch creatures as Morton and Bradley and their co-workers In fraud are digging the jrrave of republican institutions. Looking at the whole scene from a partisan standpoint, the majority of

the commission see thai they hav$ got a "good thing," and as fraud mounts upon fraud, crime upon crime and perjury upon perjury, these miscreants chcckle and vote, and the dance of death goes on. The grand sisterhood of states look on, or turn away from the scene with unutterable disgust and loathing. Morton and Bradley, .Garfield and Hoar, with their confederate of the commission, point to the law, under which they have achieved undying infamy and which they have deliberately violated, and tell the people, "You must submit.'' 8ubmit to what? To fraud, to perjury, to crimes multiplied and unblushing to authority exercised without right, conferred by the Louisiana returning board, and stamped with approval by a commission the majority of which are men if possible more despicable than Wells. Submit to what? To be throttled by garoters on the highways of liberty. And robbed of what? Your manhood. Spurned as lepers, with the infernal pack of thieves and perjurers crying " unclean " struck down while contending for rights as dear as life, and forbidden under the penalty of being called revolutionists by a band of returning board pirates. fluch is the measure of the degradation that radical thieves are preparing for democrats. What then? Is it indeed submission? Is this the reward that Indiana democrats have secured for their devotion to principle and truth? In the name of all that is noble in manhood of all that is sac red in memory, of all that is worth living for or dying for, is this infamous swindle, this triumph of perjury, this indorsement of fraud, to be tamely accepted as the final result of the presidential campaign in Indiana? Is a president who mounts into Office by means that would make a sneak thief blush crimson to be accepted aa the chief magistrate of a people that revere the memory of Washington? If so, then indeed the republic ia dead. But we conclude that Indiana democrats will have a voice in Üiis matter. That they will find ways to speak and there is no time to spare. To hesitate now is to add ignomiey to defeat, and to bend like a galley slave to receive the red hot branding iron that shall seal their degredation and prove an ineffaceable disgrace. The people can be reached. Let the lightnings flash the call, and democrats of Indiana, if they submit, it will be after they have coined their indignation into words that shall tell the world that they were worthy of a better fate, and that they would rather die like freemen than live like slaves.

HATE WE A SEDITION LAW ? The telegraph informs Us that Grant and some of, hti advisors were in consultation ytttierday over an article that recently appeared in the Washington Capital upon the political situation. We are informed that "the statutes were closely examined and 'notee made of the law which it was considered attaches criminal intent to such articlea." Having succeeded in defrauding the people out of their choice for the presidency, the conspirators now propose to silence the press and prevent it from commenting upon the swindle. Could the matter be determined by a returning board, there would be no difficulty in the premises, for "Wells and his coadjutors would dispose of it as easily as they did of the democratic majority in Vernon parish. But, unfortunately for the conspirators, as yet, returning boards have not taken cognizance of the liberty of the press, their time having been taken up in counting in Hayes. Having disposed of this to the satisfaction of the thieves in office as well as those who expect to get office, they can turn their attention to silencing the press, with a certainty that their acts will be sustained and approved by Bradley and Miller and Strong, should they ever be reviewed by this trio of judical fraids. In 1709, during the administration of the elder Adams, congress passed a law known as the sedition law. Its object was to prevent criticism upon the acta of those then in power, and were it now in force Grant end Taft and Wells and the rest of the radical gang who are now so incensed at Don Piatt for publishing what he believes to be true would soon have the Don in prison and his paper suppressed. But, thanks to Thomas Jefferson and the democracy of his day, the infamous sedition law was repealed and its supporters driven from power. Not until the "American people are ready to become slaves will they permit a similar law to be enacted, for the liberty of the press and the liberty of speech are the dearest boons of a free people. When they consent to be deprived of these inestimable blessings they will be ready to put on the oppressor's yoke and bow submissively to his will. m The fact that the president of the United States and some of his constitutional advisers conferred together for the purpose of devising means to prevent adverse comments upon the action of the joint commission, is very significant They know that a foul wrong Las been committed, one which cries to heaven for vengeance, and they also know that if the people have the right to denounce this wrong and the press the right to hold up its authors to the execration of mankind, the men who committed the crime, and the man who will profit by it, will stink ' in the nostrils of freemen worse than did the dung in the Augean stables. Hence the effort of the conspirators to scare somebody and their desire to silence the press. Bat their efforts will be in vain. Freemen all over the land will denounce both the Louisiana returning board and the Washington returning bard; will rank Wells and Anderson and their negro partners in crime with Bradly and Strong and Miller and their radical pall in theft, and consign the whole batch to that infamy which is the certain doom of all men who prove traitors to csartitational liberty.

THE KT ATE SE.VTI.VEL. The present proprietors of the Sentinel well understand the large measure in which the success of their paper depends u;on the completeness with which it meets the needs of its weekly subscribers. This class of its patrons is at once the most widespread and enduring. It is the most exacting as well; for the rural reader, who depends upon his weekly paper to keep him reasonably up with the progress of current events, if less fastidious in the matter of freshness, demands a variety and scope in his reading which ihe more hurried peruser of the more ephemeral daily can dispense with. Precisely this need is what the publishers purpose to meet in the issue of the Weekly State Sentinel. Recent improvements have been introduced which make this journal more than ever worthy of patronage and unquestionably the best, aa it is now the largest, weekly in Indiana. To begin with, it has been increased onehalf . in size, from eight pages to twelve, including the supplement, which now accompanies every issue. This enables it each week to lay before its readers seventytwo columns, more than sixty of which are of solid reading matter. The average reader will find it a fairly full day's work, as well as a decidedly profitable one, to simply sit down and peruse one edition of the Weekly Sentinel from first to last. The matj ter that fills these seventy-two columns is of a character varied to suit the demands of the public. The news of the day forms an im portant part Much of the important telegraphic news of the week is preserved intact, while other matter is presented in a condensed form. During the progress of the electoral count the more important proceedings and debates have been given in full, and at all times matter of large consequence will be presented with the tame completeness as in the daily. The proceedings of congress are presented in a carefully prepared summary. Of more immediate interest to Indiana readers are the proceedings of the legislature, whicji are given in extfmo, filling one entire page of the supplement The agricultural community will find matter of interest in a carefully gotten up farm and home department, prepared expressly

for the weekly edition terests are not neglected, Business inThe acknowiedged superiority of the reports of foreign and domestic markets contained in the Daily .Sentinel extends to the weekly edition also. This contains the latest quotations up to the day of issue, with a careful review of the week. Finally, the feature of the tt? Sentinel which will recommend it to ibG largest class of readers, that which makes it welcomed at every home and fireside, is its large and varied literary miscellany. This comprises each week an original story from the pen of a lady who has become well known as a contributor to the Sunday issue, . various departments of special interest to different classes of readers, acd a large share of carefully chosen political, literary and news selections. This somewhat close enumeration must be admitted to justify the claim made at the outset that the Weekly Sentinel is now not only the largest and cheapest, but the best weekly paper in the state of Indiana. TAXINO CIU'RCII PROPEIITT. The financial aspect of religion is a matter about which legislatures seem determined to make inquiry. As the case now stands.chuich and state appear to be in some regards united. The church acquires vast estates, from which the state derives o revenue. When the subject of taxation is broached, the church promptly puts itself into a fighting attitude and resists with becoming firmness the policy of the new departure, and thus the battle goes forward. The indications are, however, that the financial views of those who believe that church property ought to be taxed are steadily gaining and will eventually achieve the victory. There is evidently a growing disposition to disrobe real estate of all assumed sacredness. In this untilitarian age common sense rovolts at the idea of ceremonies by virtue of which a piece of land and a pile of brick and mortar are stamped" with divinity, before which people shall stand awe struck with hats, off. Since God does not "dwell in 'temples made with hands," no amount of dedicating ceremonies can make the people admit the absurdity. Any reference to Solomon's temple don't help the subject in the least, since it is equally true that if God built it, He destroyed it; and to make the matter worse, if possible, the people for whom it was built made H a den of thieves and Christ had to drive them ont with a scourge. It might be well, also, o consider the fact that Christ took no stock in elegant church buildings. In fact. He seemed to prefer the camp meeting style of worship along the highways, by the sea Bide, in fact, most anywhere, where pool- folks could be found and helped along; beggars, blind, maimed, halt, lepers, a class of 'people now-a-days called tramps. He made no corner stone speeches, nor did He give His apostles any instructions what to say on such grand occasions, and we are inclined to the opinion that He did not care a fig about such matters. Of late years religion has become vastly architectural. Tthe medievial idea seems to be revived a tall steeple, stained glass, a big organ, paid singers, elegant carpets, rosewood pulpits, gilt-edged Bibles and operatic music Now, we do not oppose these things; if people want them and can pay for them, all right proceed. The point we make is this, that if religionists can stand such vast outlays of money in matters wherein they have not "thus saith the Lord" for directions, the people will be very likely to assess the luxuries, and ask their owners to pay a small tax, and we conclude that it will be difficult to demonstrate that they are not a good deal more than half right in their theory. A matter also worthy of cons deration is the effect these rich and gorgeous churches

have upon their owners whether they are productive of humility qt inspire pride and ambition. It is quite common in grand churches where millionaires worship to roll out the seats, just as it is done in theaters. Beecher realizes from forty to seventy -five thousand dollars a year in that sort of speculation; olher churches less. To call such churches free, or the gospel preached in it a free gospel, it occurs to us as being pretty cheeky, but to ask the state not to tax such a piece of property, we regard as something akin to Impudence. In such churches the poor can not be recognized except as poor. Seats they may have, but they are the seats of paupers, and as a general thing their thirst for righteousness is not sufficiently burning to take them into such establishments more than once or twice. After that they . hope to see Christ as did blind Bartiinius, by the road side. If rich congregations, however, desire to proceed in this way, we shall not object, nor shall we urge the legislature to pile on taxes as a penalty for what might be considered exhibitions of pride and arrogance, but we should not be. surprised if the representatives of the people should conclude that so much wealth could stand a small tax, even if the minister's salary was placed as low as that of an average hank president, and the organist did not receive more for one day's fingering the keys than a skilled mechanic for six da-s of square hard work. We are of the opinion that there .'s a common sense idea about this church taxation business. The state may not regard it as its province to tell religionists just how much money they shall expend in building a church edifice, but the state might say that, all things considered. $10,000 or $20,000 shall be the limit of church property exempted from taxation, and all over that amount shall be taxed like other property; and further provide that when the seats of a church are sold and the "kingdom of God" closed against the people, then the entire property shall be taxed like a hotel or a printing office. The good effect of this legislation would be that churches would no longerbeexhibitionsof prideand folly. They would be constructed with reference to the good to be accomplished. The grand truth that "God is no respector of persons" would be more generally inculcated, and there would be less 'necessity for oyster suppers and strawberry festivals to keep the churches on their feet. We should have probably fewer sky piercing sleepks, and also fewer homes where poverty holds sway. Thousands of dollars now locked up in magnificent piles of brick and mortar would be employed in the various industries and give work to the idle, and while religion would not suffer In the leas all other interests would be greatly promoted.

It apiears at this writing that the radical organs do not propose to let up on Mr. Tilden even after they have swindled him out of the presidency. Their huiuane and charitable efforts in hounding old Horace Greeley to his grave were eminently successful, and it looks now as if they would pursue Mr. Tilden in the same manner. However, from all accounts, the old gentleman seems to be the least affected of all those supposed to be interested in the result. On Friday just about the time that the electoral commission were "counting him out," he was trying a new horse he had recently bought, and his general appearance was unusually youthful, healthful and plucky. In four years more the radicals will have to have a returning board in every state of the union to beat him. Duncan F. Kenner, of New Orleans, swears that old Wells wanted enough for the Louisiana electoral votes to enable him to retire to his plantation; that this wad a big thing; the biggest he ever handled; promises would not do this time as he was detertennined to make it tell. He said that Wells reported Anderson's price to be half a million. Afterwards when the state had been passed over to Hayes Wells told him, in answer to a question that he hoped he had made himself safe, "Yes, you bet'' And yet the radical organs are endeavoring to justify the stealing of theLouisiana electoral vote from Mr. Tilden on account of "bulldozing." Governor Grover, of Oregon, says he never telegraphed to Mr. Tilden in cipher under the "Gabble" signature, and denounces all the pretended telegrams concerning him as lies. The radicals knew they were lying wb'eu they got this "Gabble" dispatch up, but that makes no difference. Lying comes easier to them than telling the truth. Bill Holloway won't accept the post office under any president "tainted with fraud," and it looketh now as if we would lose Bill.

XLIV. Con grown Second Semlon. Tuesday, Feb. 13. Sfnate. There was the usual amount of routine business transacted this morning in this branch of congress, but owing to the large number of bills brought up for action, there were but few of any public interest. The credentials of David L. Corbln, claiming to have been elected United States senater irom South Carolina for six years from March 4, 1877, were presented and, there being no objections, were placed on file. They were signed by D. H. Chamberlain, governor of Booth Carolina. A resolut ion was offered and passed asking the president to transmit to the senate a report of the expenditures of the department of state from 1788 to 1S76, and also the expenditures on Recount of foreign affairs during the same time. A resolution was introduced and passed asking for the arrest of Conrad N.Jourdan, cashier of the Third national bank of New York, for falling to appear and testify before the senate committee with regard to the accounts of Samuel J. Tilden and others who do business with his bank, and after a short executive session the senate took recess until tomorrow. Housk. Nearly all of the session to-day was taken up with the discussion of the report of the committee which investigated the late election In Florida. The main speech was made by Mr. rurman.of that state, who is a republican in politics, but who had the manhood about him ta take the floor and denounce the canvassing board and the republican party of Florida, and say that the Tilden electors were elected filrly and honestly. The vote on the committee's report was postponed until 12 o'clock to-morrow. After the discussion had ended a few bills of no public importance were brought up and acted upon, after which a recess was taken until 10 o'clock tomorrow. Wkxnksoat, Feb. H. Senate. After several bills and resolutions of no general importance had been acted upon, the Pacific railroad bill was reacht-d, and was the cause of a long and heated debate, In which a large number of senators engaged ; but before any action was taken on the bill the senate took a recess until to-morrow morning. House. The discussion of the majority report of the Florida investigation committee was continued tills morning, and lasted until a late hour, when the report was adopted by a vote of 112 to 82. The naval appropriation whs then taken up and discussed until 5:30 o'clock, when recess was taken until 7:30. At that hour the house reassembled, and continued the discussion of the naval appropriation bill, but without acting upon it took a recess until to-morrow morning. Thursday. Feb. 15, 1K7. Senate. Resolutions from the Milwaukee chamber of commerce were introduced, asking for a new trade treaty with Canada. The silver commission was given until the 21th last, to make their report. At the expiration of the morning hour the Pacific railroad bill was laid aside, and the house bill for the support of the government of the District of Columbia was taken up and discussed at great length, and after several amendments to the bill had been agreed to. It passed by a vote of 29 to 12. After the passage of the above bill the Pacific railroad bill was again token up, and while it was under debate the senate took reoess until to-morrow morning. House. Tills branch of congress again tackled the naval appropriation bill, and after a long aud heated deb te it was finally passed. A message relating to perfecting a revision of the laws of the United States was received from the president. The senate bill to ratify the agreement between certain bands of Sioux Indiaus, and also with noithern bands of Arapahoes and Cheyenne , was taken np and passed. After a few other bills of no public importance had been acted upon, the house took recess uutil 10 o'clock to-morrow. Friday, Feb. 13. Senate. i he consuliw and diplomatic appropriation bill was passed. The Pacific railroad bill wad brought up and a long debate was indulged in. Several amendments to the bill reported by the railroad committee were offered and disposed of, and without any action on the bill itself being taken It was laid aside until to-morrow. Several unimportant bills were then passed and the senate took recess until to morrow. House. There was nothing of any Interest done In the house to-day. After considerable discussion over a bill regulating the rates of freight transported over the bridge at Omaha, Nebraska, without taking any action on the above bill, several private bills were passed, after which the bouse took reeoss until tomorrow. Haturday, Feb. 17. SENATE. Mr. Kelly? of Oregon, asked permission to make a personal expiation with regard to the cipher dispatch over which there has been so much talk lately. After Mr. Kelly had explained, Mr. Bogy then denounced the electoral commission in plain language and Judge Bradley in particular. Mr. Morton then defended Bradley In his bloody shirt style, and the senate took recess until Monday House. The session was not resumed until noon, and nothing was then done except to pass a resolution to meet the senate in Joint convention on Monday at 11 o'clock, and the house then took recess until 10 o'clock Monday morning. Monday, Feb. 19. Senate. There was no business done in the senate before the Joint session. After the senators returned from the Joint session a long and heated debate took place over the objeeUons offered in the Joint session to the decision of the electoral commission in the Louisiana crvse. Finally a resolution was off. red by Mr. Sherman, indorsing the action of the commission. A substitute was offered by a democratic member to Mr. Sherman's resolution denouncing the declslon'of the commission, which was killed by a strictly party vote, aud Mr. Sherman's resolution was adopted by the same vote, after which the 6enate took recess until t.wnorrow. House. There was nothing done in this branch of congross before the Joint sosslon convened, and after the senators withdrew the house took reoew uatll IP o'clock to-morrow morning. riKIU THE FIRE HIXG. Rel nnfdh, n Runtlsn Fir Eter. Come to Uriel in Cincinnati. Cincinnati Gazette. Last night the "fire kjng" essayed anew role, with probably fatal effect to himself, and certainly with great astonishment to his audience. The "Coliseum" was packed almost as full of people as it could hold and it is a large hall and at half-past 11' o'clock the fire king made his appearance, dressed In a suit of crimson tights, with a peaked "devil cp".of the same color; with horns npon his head. After jperforming the tricks

above enumerated, the performer entered an Iron barred enge, about four feet high, the bare of which were covered with cotton batting, and saturated with benzine. When the -fire king" was in positiou a match was applied. The effect was instantaneous, surprising and almost calamitous. The flames leaped instantly to the drop scenery above the stage, and at once they were a mass of flames. They communicated the fire to the side scenes, and soon the entire stage was ablaze. The audience, panic stricken, leaned to their feftand made a frantic rush for the doors, upsetting the beer tables and chairs, and scattering destruction among the beer glasses. A few cool heads near the door kept the crowd of screaming women from crushing themselves in the doorway, and the sudden subsidence of the flames on the stage, which were quenched with a few handy buckets and tubs of water by the performers and a few of the spectators, prevented what might have been another Robinson's opera house cakruitv The saddest part of the affair was the terrible burning of Mueab. In his efforts to clear himself from the burning cae his hands were terribly burned; his devil's cap caught fire and communicated the blaze to his hair, badly burning his forehead and scalp. He thinks that he swallowed a portion of the burning gas from the benzine, and this is the most serious of all. After having his wounds hastily bound up. the sufteriner man was placed in a hack and driven rapidly to the Gait house, where he has been boarding for some months. Dr. C. O. Wright and Aruery were immediately called and dressed the burns. Mueab did not seem to mind the surface burns much, but complained of great pain in his stomach and bowels. This is the dangerous symptom in the case, as the superficial burns are not severe enough to cause death. There were some men in the wounded man's room at the hotel who expressed to the physicians the opinion that Mueab had taken poison, vid intended to kill himself in his last cxIeriraent The reason they assigned for this was that the fire king had been despondent of late, consequent on his failure to make snnicient money to defray h:s living expenses. The physicians, however, could find no traces of poison, either in the aspect of the eyes or condition of the pulse. Thev are of the opiuion that the ?reat pain in the stomach is due to his having inhaled some of the flame, by which he was .omplercly hemmed in. It is wonderful to realize the new principle. Dr. J.
