The "Illuminator" has a conumdrum on 'free journalism," but a '.'cheap gas" con undrum would be much harder to guess at IJThe Louisville News asks, "What, then, is "Elaine's individual destiny?'' Probably to keep the fact before the people that Packard and Hayes are twin frauds. The Breton Herald, a Blaine organ, declares that Packard's title to the office of governor is as valid as- that ot Hi.yes to the office which he holds. Certainly, perjury elected in both cases. Tayloe, the defaulting cashier of the First National bank of Franklin, was opposed to the appointment of a committee of experts to examine bis accounts, lie was also op posed to making monthly and annual re ports of the condition of his bank. Abe .all the radical chiefs done writing letters? We have not had a letter for forty eight hours, and the silence is getting op pressive.

Ten dollars a day and nothing to do is rather fair for hard times, civil service reform and "re'foEra within" the party;" Patt-ersow, the "carpet-bag senator from South Carolina, is thus alluded to by .the New York Nation; "Patterson, the carpet- , -tag senator from .South CKlina, whose 'career and mental processes are more Ät- .. 'ting subjects for examination by the polioe'man than by the polite critic." We should think that the Nation had taken a ' very accurate measure went of the dimensions of the senator from South Carolina1 and., we might add, of carpet-baggers in . general. - , . Thk Nashville (Tenn.) American regards the term, "Ilia Fraudulency" as applied to Hayes as too "monotonous;" albeit the . American - claims the paternity of the "term.' . "True," says the American, "the frauds of the republican party still exut, ' and it is true that Mr. Hayes's title is not, 4 and can not be, freed from the stain of those v '.frauds. There is a time for their discussion, 'but now is the time for the discussion pf 'issues as they arise, standing as they do npon their merit." ' - We are aware that Tost Master General - Key hails from Tennessee, but we are not ad vised that he had bestowed anyf favor upon the American calculated to make fraud "monotonous." It ia worthy of remark that the Christiana of Turkey are asking the powers of Europe to grant them the privileges which the people of Louisiana are asking the presidential

fraud t of s- M

confer upon theni, the Tht government The -spectacle be hnmiliatinc. bat it is never Jriess resented, in the 'tme case e sultan, who is called to rule Thy the po tentiality of murder, refuses, and in the other case Hayes, who mounhi iato office by the lifting power of perjury and fraud, keeps his bayotRts pointed at the heart of a sover eign state and compels the people to suffer every conceivable indignity and humilia tion. Radicalism and Mohammedanism are not essentially -different, ercept perhaps in the matter of stealing. Fcr that radicalism Werrs the charipion belt KX'JIORS OF WAR. The European war cloud has again arisen .bove the horizon, with unpleasant indica tions that its dark and fiery folds will in the , near future envelop Russia and Turkey, and continue to extend until other powers are included in the strife. The general impression seems to be that there is now no means of escarpe. Russia 'is aggressive and Turkey is defiant Austria, whose frontier is ex posed, it is thought will be the first of the powers not directly a party to the contest to be drawn into the vortex. England has-vast interests at stake, and will watch with ever increasing vigilance , the progress of events. Tkose who are in a position to know express the belief that the war, once commenced, will become one of the most fierce and de structive of modern times. Russia can illy afford to be vanquished again in her efforts to reach the Mediterranean. The empire of Alexander is progressive as well as aggres sive. The great demand is an outlet, that her maritime and naval importance may be securely established. Turkey is the great obstacle to be removed before this laudable purpose can be realized. It is quite possible that Christendom has underestimated the power' of the Turk. Sick theugh he may be in times of peace, he becomes remark ably healthy and strong in time of war. Assuming that it 4s his religion that renders him unwelcome in Europe, the Mussulman's fanaticism is at once, aroused. and he fiehts with a fiercensss that makes him a foe to be dreaded rath-rthan despised The threatened war with Russia has already aroused all Mohammedan countries, and the believers in the Koran are flocking to the assistance of their European brethren. The probabilities are that the 'jealousies which Russia keeps alive by her steady aggressions will be more thah equal to the hostility that Christian countries entertain towards the followers of Mohammed, and that the strange spectacle will be again presented of Christians arraying themselves under the crescent rather than the cross, and of fighting to maintain the devil's foothold in Europe rather than for the extension of Christian institutions and Christian civili zation. England, claiming to be the fore most Christian nation in the world, does not allow her religion to interfere with her am bition for territorial aggrandizement. She is lor Christianity I it pays, it it increases her revenues, exalts her power and confirms her supremacy; without these she would be anything or nothing as soon as she would be Christian. But dismissing all such consid erations and looking at a great war in Europe from a business standpoint and its relations to the United states, it Is sate to say we are likely to derive very great advantage from the misfortunes of others. Europe will be come of necessity a very valuable customer for almost everything America has to sell. Her surplus food will be wanted and all the guns and munitions of war that she can manufacture. And those who deplore war and advocate peace on earth. will be as ready to sell as others, and will want the highest prices for their wares. "If England becomes involved and the probabilities all point that way the United States will be likely to regain the maraticie standing she enjoyed before the rebellion, and evep tually secure the carrying trade of the world. It is pleasant to believe that the war, after all, is not an unmixed evil; in fact, if waged in a good cause it is vastly more of good than evil. For our part aside from all commercial considerations, we hope the war will commence and continue until the power of the Turks in Europe is nam bered among the things of the past Cue following brief table of statistics chows the, relative condition of matters in Eouth Carolina under eight years of democratic and radical rule. The periods are .from 1853 to lift) under democratic rule, and from 1863 to 1Ä75 under the radicals: Foe. Dem. Rep.

No won der that the radical carpet-bagger, Patterson said last fall "that there were five years .of 'good steal isgs left yet in the old state." Is it any wonder that there were expressions of unusual joy throughout South Carolina last week when It was definitely known that Chamberlain and his crew were to be succeeded by "H cup ton and good governnieBt" ! . ! The New York Sun thinks Blaine is; a hero, aid that he will make things uncomfortably hot for Hayes. It says: I This is the beginning of a fair and square fight between Blaine and Hayen. Blaine represents the real republican prty. He Is now Uie embodiment of the principles ot that arty. Hayes, on the other hand, ha betrayed the republican prty, and gone back on toe wen who made him president. He has proved as false to the men who unlawfully counted him in as Benedict Arnold was to the rebel Americans In the time of th American revolution. lUalne emerges from tbe rottenneKa of his own past history, and becomes radiant with thellglitof courage and fidelity; while Hayes breathes there a man so Iowas to do him reverttneet It id more than probable that the Almighty will yet use Blaine for some good purpose. Snakes, in some cases, are great rat exterminators. ' Nothing 'will be more just in (ate than to see Ulaine anging Hayes.

THE FBACDCLEXT HATES. rrivate advices from "Washington pretty

clearly indicate that his fraudulency Hayes is in hot water, and that it trill continue to grow hotter until it scalds him to death Chsniberlaih's address to the republicans gave him undisguised annoyance. That docu" merit gives Hayes to nnderstand that the troops were sent to South Carolina to protect villains while they were committing frauds in the interest of the Tadical party. Grant's purpose by the despotic outrage was not more to elect Hayes than to maintain Cham berlain and other radical thieves in office, and that, after securing his (Hayes's) share of the swag, it was not becoming te remove the troops, thereby depriving others of their proportion. In doing this ChamberIain gives Hayes to understand that he has not acted the part of an honorable radical thief that he has not divided fair, nor toted level. As a matter of course Hayes squirms under the lash. Every arraignment of disappointed radicals brings into bold out line the crimes that made Heyes president It is well understood in Washington that Hayes did not desire to withdraw the troops from South Carolina, nor was it his purpose to do so. Chamberlain was his man. but Wade Hampton was bold and defiant. He had resolved to be governor or to have in South Carolina a first-class military despotism, and it was this stand of Hampton's that brought about the re moval of the troop3. The great mass of the radical party understand this and despise Hayes for his weakness. It is Hayes's guilt that makes him cowardly; the hand writ ing upon the wall, the eight black spots upon his soul; these frighten him. A special from Wastington says that a noted republican, just arrived from Boston, having visited Wendell Phillips, saw a bushel-basketful of letters from republicans applauding his denunciations of Hayes; also Ben Wade, of Ohio, is abusing Hayes with characteristic severity, and Jim Blaine publishes a letter in the Boston Herald which very distinctly tells what he thinks of Pack ard's credentials. The letter is as follows: Your Columbia correspondent is In error In hU statement that I had a conference with Oovernor Chamberlain In New York. I have seen Oovernor Chamberlain but once for a rear, and that whi In the private cabinet room oi I'resiueni nayes on ineiin oi xuarcii. Nor have I written ot telegraphed to him, or heard from him In any way. The same is true respecting Oovernor Packard, except in the matter of one telegram received from him, which 1 read publicly In the United Smtes senate. But I am eure that Oovernor Cham berlain knows that he has my profoundest sympathy in the heroic thougu unsuccessful struggle he has m tide in South Carolina for civil Uborty arid contltutlonai government, lam eauallvsure that Gov. Packard feels that my heart and judgment are doui wiin mm in wie contest he in Uli waging against great odds for the governorship that he holds by a title an valid as that which Justly and lawfully seated Rutherford H. Hayes in tue presidential enair. I trust also that both governors know the Boston press no more represents the stalwart republican leellng of New England on the pending issue than the same pres did when it demanded tne eulorcement oi tne mgiuve siave law in wot. Very respectfully, J. G. Bl.AIXE. Augusta, Me., April 10, 1877. In the opinion of Blaine, Packard and Hayes were elected by the same damning frauds; their credentials have the stamp of the same perjuries. Eliza Pinkston, the buzz-saw wench, swore for both alike, and Wells and his black associates were paid for crimes that were to equally benefit Hayes and Packard. These facts are pouring in upon Hayes. He is guilty of a great crime a crime that he can not outlive a crime that has already damned him in the estimation of honest men The people of Louisiana do not want Pack ard for governor. They did not elect him to the office, and it is equally true that they did not elect R. B. Hayes president, and it is against their will that he disgraces that office. He was elected by bayonets, and bayonets must sustain Packard or he wil have to go. :It may be well that the sit uation is as it is. Every movement of the radicals brings the crime of the conspirators into greater prominence. The people can see it distinctly, and may curse the miscreants understanding and guard against their schemes ki future. WE TOLD THEM SO. Ihe New York Tribune, during the presi dential canvass, true to its instincts, did what it could to perpetuate a reign of fraud by continuing the radical party in power. It was the apologist of every fraud and the eulogist of the nxst distinguished villains of its party. While professing independ enoe, no paper was more vilely partisan ana tne returning aoara crimes were com metnted upon as virtues J until after Hayes waseecurely seated ;as president Having contributed to the defeat of the democratic party, the Tribune! virtually admits its hy pocrisr, treachery and mendacity, and by turning its back upon its co-laborers in fraud, hopes to secure a lace in the regards of honest people. It professes to have no sympathy or regard for Chamberlain or Packard, and is evidently anxious to be considered as having never taLen stock ia radicalism as exhibited in its -southern policy. It says: . The republican politicians of the south have had their day. Opportunities were slven them such as come to no man twiee In a lifetime. A most glorious and most solemn trust-wits committed to them when thea&k of reconstruction was pjaced In their hands and all the power of the United States put forth to uffttaln them. Uw have they ratt that trust? yoe years their power has bueu absolute; where have tbey produced good government? They have been triad. With rare exceptions they have failed disgracefully. Even the few who have tried to do their best have been wept away by the current have allied themselves with known plunderer in order to secure part success, aiul have nochaoee whatever to hold place or Influence save by connection with a political combination which has nindn t a curse to the states In which It exists and a disgrace to the republican name. The republican leaders of the south can not complain that twelve years of trial in unrestrained power have not been enough. Majorities of forty thousand iu Koulh Carolina and Louisiana have been thrown away. Delegation of earnest republicans, who own property, pray for the success of staia tickets for which tliey did not vote. The republican leaders of the south have been tried, fully and Jaittifully, and tbey have failed. The Tribune supported carpet-bag scoundrelisnr in South Carolina while there was a dollar left to steal. It advocated military

usurpation for the protection of radical

thieves. It was the advocate of the frauds in Florida and Louisiana which counted layes into office, and now it tells the "re publicans of the south" that they "have had their day." They have stolen pretty much everything that could be carried away, and this accomplished their mission is gone. If t is In this way that the radical press ex pects to win the confidence of the people they are likely to meet with disappointment To the infamous usurpation of Hayes the people may be compelled to submit for a while, but the day of reckoning is coming when crime will not be at par and thieves will not shape the destinies of the country. Wade Hampton has a pleasant way of setg great questions to the satisfaction of i the blacks of South Carolina, as will be seen freu an account given of an interview be tween the governor and his dusky constitu ents, published in the Charlotte (N. C.) Ob server. It says: At Adger's Turnout we await the ceralng of tne north bound train, witn no cannon or flowers. But see! Here comes a group of colored men to see the great Hampton. Courteously he answers their questions. At length their spokesman blurted out: "Massa Wade, de men ain't so haid to understand what you tell 'em. but de women folks, our wives and darters. Is de hard ones: dey say you won't let 'em wear pinnacas wnen you is guo ner." Tell them lor me," said Hampton, "that they can wear pataloons, if they wish to, or only fig leaves, ir they prcier, with as mncu nustie and (inned back as tight as they wish." The obectioa was no more, and the group left, blessin' Jiassa aue wiin an tneir hearts. This is the way which one of the colored senators belonging to Packard's legislature states the Louisiana case: I don't care a cent which way this thing is settled, only so that It is settled soon, so I can go home. I have a small place, but 1 shall not te able to raise anything this year unless l am at liberty to look after ray own affairs. I think, anyway, that I have given about enough of my time to politics this year, and rr.v family are entitled to the remainder of it. A ' thougri l am tne strongest Kind oi a repuollcan, 1 feel unkindly to President Hayes only on account of one thing, and that is his Indecision. I think it wrong in him to keep us here and the whole state in chaos and confu sion, when a word from him would practical ly settle the dillioulty. 1 don't think that the colored people care very much whether Ntcholls or Packard is governor, as they think that Oovernor Nicholls will do what Is right about as near as he can. so desirous are we for a settlement that we would go over to the Nicholls legislature If it were not for the tact we could not get clear of the suspicion mat we sold out our party. "Indecision" is a bad quality in a presi dent of the -United states. The Milwaukee Sentinel claims Ihe honor of having nominated Hayes for president June 10, 1STT5. Now we ought to know who nominated Packard, Kellogg and Boss Tweed After which it will be agreeable to know who in forcing Hayes into the presidential chair told the biggest lie, and who perjured his soul with the deepest and blackest damnation. By all means let us have the facts relating to the chain gang. , Jix Blaine's letter, together with Ben Wade's threatened opposition, are old beginning to make the radical organs uneasy and nervous. They betray signs of being considerably worked up. "Easy" is the watchword, gentlemen. The mountain is only rumbling. The volcano will burst in good time. Fraud never did pay in this world, nor never will. "TALLY ONE IOK THE SEXTIXEL. The Kkom Tribune Jjnyn Aside Parti ma ii I m and Tell Which Im tUeXtwitpa ter t Indianapolis. The Kokomc Tribune, though a rank republican sheet, has the fairness to give a paper of opposite political proclivities credit for a stroke of enterprise in the way of newsgetting. Under the headinpof "Tally One for the Sentinel," its issue of last week thus speaks of a recent achievement of this paper The news of a conference is the appoint ments. While the N. I. conference was in session at Bluflton, the Indianapolis, Clncln natl and Chicago dailies had brief reports of the business, ine oody adjourned on Mondav. and evervbodr expected the appoint ments would "be published in the dailies of Tuesday. By the time the Indianapolis Journal arrived there were persons at our office from Alto, Miami and Jerome circuits, all anxious to know who had been sent to them. All were surprised to flna not a word In the Journal. "We were about to telegraph for news when a gentleman re marked that the appointments were all in the wicked Sentinel. A rnsh was made for the news stand .only to hear that every copy was out and gone. Even the Tribune's Sentinel had gone with the rest, and nobody could te found who had a copy. A little Methodistio swearing was done about that time that is, Methodists thought it was dog-on strange the Sentinel could have ihe appointments and the Journal didn't. Home of those who lived at a distance concluded to wait for the Chicago and Cincinnati dailies, but when they arrived there was no word In them to Indicate that a N. I. conference was In existence. There was some political news from a New England Conference, notklng else. At this writing, stlli a day later, the papers referred to contain no reference to the appointments. AtSoVloek on Tuesday afternoon the preachers arrived, and securing a list, the information desired was soon Issued from this office. For the life of sis we can not Imagine -why the Chicago and Cincinnati papers and the Indianapolis Journal omitted news that 100. 000 persons were hunting after on Tuesday morning iir; ws mat could nave Deen obtained ty mall without tne expense or telegraphing, The people of Kokomo for once, at leant. have made a big score to the credit of the Sen tinei. : j A Wonderful Natural Cariosity. The Bendigo Advertiser says: "A natura! curiosity of an extraordinary character is to be seen at the mining . registrar's' -office Sandhurst . It is placed on the mantelpiece, and the visitor, on entering the room and looking in that direction, sees a small but very pretty and cleverly executed landscape painting some six inches square. Tbe foreground represents a grass-plot, in the center of which are two small ponds, out of one ,of which the water flows in a .small stream toward a patch of rocks. A little distance beyond the ponds is a farm house, at the rear and side of which is a row of tall poplar trees. Light stratified clouds, with a dash of blue, completes the picture. The perspective is almost perfect, and the lights and shades are remarkably well brought oat This is particularly seen in the cluster of rocks, which appear to have been drawn by the hand ot a most skiilful artist Closer inspection of this piece of work reveals to, the astonkbed on-looker that it is neither more nor less than a piece of slate rock, on which Nature's band alone has developed a pretty rural scene which would not do discredit to the brush of .Buvelot This curiosity was found on the Carshaltoh reef, and the rock, on being broken up. split in such a way as to ljave the face on which the pictura.is repre83hted convex. The various shades, tints and figures appear to have been formed by the trickling of water containing iron between the eeamj of tne rock."

Quite a rupture has occurred between the faculty and five of the students of Hanover college Messrs. Harry Wagoner, Charles Walker, E. D. Yager, K. P. Meloy and It B. Milroy. They were charged with having taken the chairs and the bell from the chapel and placed them in the philal's hall, and with scattering the hymn books in various places. The faculty, in the exercise of its judgment, caused the expulsion of Mr. Wagoner and the suspension of the other four Messrs. Walker and Yager for failing to confess, and Messrs. Meloy and Milroy for confessing. We are informed that the faculty sought information of Mr. Walker by telling him they knew all about it, and he might as well confess. To this Charles replied: "If you know all about it, I don't think my confession would throw any additional light on the subject" A card from one of the gentlemen interested will probably appear in our columns Monday. Whliky Bait for Trout. Wlnnemucca Silver State. Last night Squire Meador and Judge Bonnified arrived here' from Winnemucca, the latter on a hunting and fishing excursion. When the judge gravely announced that he was going to fish, everybody looked incredulous, for the river is high and the water muddy. The judge, however, prepared his bait, put his hook and lines in order, and this morning started to the river. About 9 o'clock be made his appearance with eight of the finest trout I ever saw. This surfrised even the Piutes. His hooks and ines were examined, and found to be of the ordinary kind, but the bait had a peculiar smell, and upon investigation it was found to be nothing more nor less than pieces of beef soaked in a mixture of sugar, whisky and port wine. The news spread among the Piutes, and they are swarming here from all directions and catching many fine trout Turkey's Finance. Turkey owes England $983,951,225 principal' and $57,1 17.9G5 interest on the same. The English holders of Turkish bonds have received no interest for two years, and it is not likely that they will see either interest or principal again, unless England should go in with the other powers for a general land grab, and get Constantinople or Roumelia for her share. The Turkish govern ment repudiated $35,000.000 worth ofj interest in 175 by offering to give worthless paper for it One of England's motives for objects ing to a break-up of the Ottoman empire is probably the financial one stated. She stands in danger of losing the whole anioant of the loans. Mrs. Campbell, of New York, arrested for horsewhipping her husband, has been in the habit of subjecting him to this treatment A few wieks ago while outdriving she encountered him in company with another woman, and. snatching his whip from ita socket so that he could not retaliate, she plied her own on his head and Shoulders with all her energy. Her horse being swifter than her husband's, she continued her castigation from One- 'Hundred and Twenty-fifth 6treet to Fortv-ninth street and Broadway. The injuries he then received, she says, confined him to the house for a. week.
