Second District JEUKMIAII COBLE. Jitv Davis wanted a peaceful dissolution of the Union, and the Journal advocated the same doctrine. Grakt wanted to light for the rebels, and the Journal did not want war for the sake of the Union. Has the Journal forgotten its treason? ' The Cincinnati Gazette tries to be facetious over Lize Pinkston's late statement, but a hog trying to whistle could hardly make a greater failure. The Iowa rads do not hesitate to intimate to McCrary, Haves' secretary of war, that he most get out of Hayes' cabinet or suffer their indignation. This makes Hayes unhappy. Spain comes forward with claims against the United States amounting to $2,030,000. dating as far back as 1810. Give the poor old broken down monarchy "fiat" money and let her go. Ir the city of Berlin can afford a historical picture of the peace congress, the United States ought to have one of the Totter investigating committee. Of the two, the Totter business is decidedly the most historical. And now the radical thief organs are trying to explain away a steal of $19,000,000, discovered by experts in the books of the treasury department. Every time that a big radical steal is discovered ' the organs yell that it is a democratic trick to in jura the radical party, and the bigger the steal the louder the yell. As thawing up another phase of the Louisiana villanies the extract from the New York Herald, published to-day, will be read with interest. The testimony proves what has always been asserted by the Sentinel with regard to the Hnkston matter, and if additional evidence of the truth of the wench's latest story is needed it is furnished by her assertion that the radicals only gave her fifty dollars out of the five hundred promised. The democratic state convention put forth a good platform and nominated an excellent ticket; the democratic county convention resolved in favor of a law limiting taxation in this county and nominated a ticket which is unexceptionable, and now It is in order for the people to indorse these platforms and elect both the state and county tickets. The state ticket will be elected without a doubt, and the county ticket will also suceecd if the democracy of the county does its full duty. This it must da General Noyes is exceedingly anxious to have the Potter committee whitewash him before he returns to France. But it so happens that the distinguished conspirator and representative of Hayes in a foreign country was made aware of the fact that it required a deliberate fraud to give Florida to Hayes. This did not in the least stagger him. On the contrary, he went forward in the business of utilizing fraud, and those who aided in consummating the infernal vilhuny were rewarded by Hayes with fat federal offices. Sach is Noyes. He may go to Franca, or he may ?o to the devil, but the crime ttaia is upon him and it can't be washed away. The Hon. Franklin Lander, of this city, was the originator of the movement which resulted in the reoionetizition of silver. In the last congress he labored persistently and effectively to secure this object, and now has the satisfaction of knowing that his labors were not without results. The New York Times, the great republican organ, named him as the leader of the movement, and Uded to devote a column or two daily to pointing out what it declared to be his financial idiocies. The country is adopting, one by one, the measures which Mr. Landers favored when in congress, and had it accepted th?m at the time they were so ably urged many a bankrupt would now be a solvent man. Some exchanges not well posted are asserting that the decision of Plymouth church is the most singular on record. The sister admitted her guilt, the church accepted her confession, expelled her and then voted the other party innocent. A decision almost as remarkable, though in an entirely different line of business, is on record in the United Slates court of this city. At the time of the late railroad strike W.N. Kayre, one of the members of the brotherhood of locomotive engi, neers, was arrested, among other, arraigned before Judges Drummond and G re sham, declared innocent on every charge, but put under bond of $2,000 to keep the peace one year. Now if Elizabeth could only be brought before this latter tribunal she would probably be reinstated and Beecher drawn and quartered. Those who feel interested In the advance '. of medical science sbomd devote a little ' time to the collection of statistics with regard to the numerical force of the M. D.'s in ? this country, as also the capacity of ' the " Tarious medical colleges in the country to turn out recruiti annually. We see it stated Hat the Long Island college hospital gradu
ated forty students the other day, and that after receiving their diplomas "they were 'addressed by the Rev. O. B. Frothingham, 'who alluded to the. sympathy between the 'religious and the medical professions the 'professions of faith and science and said: 'Your business is not to make money, it is 'to save life.' " Now, then, it ia safe to esy that these graduates who go forth to save life would be illy prepared for the important duty if some one had not furnished them with "stiffs." Evidently, if doctors are to be fully equipped to save life, the laws must be so changed that to procure a subject for dissection is not a penitentiary offense.
WHAT THE POTTER COMMITTEE HAS ACCOMPLISHED. Never in the history of proceedings designed to unearth crime has greater success been achieved than that which up to the present date crowns the labors of the Pot'tr investigating committee. It should be understood by those who would form even an approximately correct judgment of results to remember that the committee has had to contend against a corrupt and criminal administration, the chief of which is himself, the largest beneficiary or the crimes the Totter committee was created to expose. It should be remembered that every federsl official who holds office by virtue of the grace of Hayes, from the lowest scullion who cleans spittoons or performs other services of a still more menial character to the most brazen villain that represents the government In the cabinet, or wears his crime scabs in a foreign court, each and all were pledged to throw every obstacle possible in the way of the committee and to do all in their power to obscure the tracks of the radical rascals ' who, in the hour of defeat, transformed forgery and fraud and perjury into lever and screw, and, in defiance of constitutions and statutes, and in utter disregard of the anathemas of heaven lifted Hayes into power. Against these guilty conspirators and their guilty pals the Potter committee has had to contend. Bat the work of investigation has gone steadily forward. John Sherman has been laid cut cold and stiff in his political shroud. He attempted the old game of bravado. He demanded a hearing. He gave out that he would "stand firm." He was called before the committee, and there he fell a great lie stuck in his throat. When confronted with a copy of his letter he dared not deny Its authorship, which in effect was a confession of authorship, and his friends led him forth a poor, self-condemned, crime stained conspirator a creature who bargained for perjury end offered federal offices as Its reward. This much the Potter committee has accomplished, and the radical party realizes the indelible stain that has been fixed upon it. The case of Stanley Matthews if, if porsible still more humiliating. The brother-in-law of Hayes, he assumed at an early day the management of affairs, and at once placed himself in intimate communion with such despicable wretches as would do the most lying for the smallest rewards. This radical villain has been fully exposed by the Potter committee. He has been placed in the pillory, and now the people divide him, spit upon him and denounce him. Some declare that he is a fool, some a knave. All agree that he is a despicable conspirator; that he engaged in atrocious aggressions on the liberties of the people, and deserves the fate to which the Potter committee has assigned him. The Potter committee has mapped out every slimy track of the perjured conspirators, located thjeir dens given to the country their most secret consultitlons, catalogued their forgeries and perjuries, and linked the conspirators and their crimes to the radical pBrty by the logic of facts, from which there is no escape in time or eternity. Such a mass of corruption, such fathomless depths of depravity such a combination of crimes, such inter lacing of villainy, such a writhing, squirming mas of animate viciousnesa w&3 never before presented to the horrified gaze of mankind, and still it is growing. It is a continental tumor, and as the Potter committee punctnres it the sickening flow of rottenness deepens, and the radical party cries out "Hold, 'tis enough!" But the Potter committee is not yet done with the radical party. There are other scoundrels besides Noyes, Sherman and Matthews to be brought upon the stage. There are other crimes to be laid bare. The weight of infamy that radicalism is to be compelled to bear is to be increased, and when the work is done the radical party will rank first of all the curses that have fallen upon this or any other country. So far the Potter committee has been a success. IitTTEE CRY OF THE DEMOCRACY. Since the radical party gained control of the national government, its profligacy and numberless frauds, its organized rings, its succession of jobs, its bold, defiant and broad daylight plundenngs, had the effect of inoculating municipal and state governments with the same disregard of honest dealings and of the rights of tax-payers. Under Grant, thieves were selected for places of the highest trust, and as a consequence every department of the government was debauched and universal protligacy was inaugurated. Whenever and wherever the democratic party has obtained control the work of retrenchment has commenced, and the neccs tity for the work has been so manifestly ap parent that the people are likely to increase rather than restrict the powers of the democratic party to lessen the crushing burdens of taxation. That our readers may more fully comprehend the curse of radicalism In its influence upon the fiscal affairs of the country for a period of ten years, from 1800 to 1S7G, we herewith give some figures in regard to municipal affairs. It has been shown that the total debt of one hundred and thirty cities of the country, representing nearly every state in the Union, increased $423,0GC,C.L Drht of I.TO cltlos In 1S7S JS44f378.flW Debt of 130 cities in lttttt.I !1,31Z,UW . ', Increa.se . ',..1423,068.65 An annual Increase of inv..tedness of $ 12,100.005. This was accompU aed when radicalism had full sway, at a time when Grant was accepting bribes, when cabinet officers were stealing, and when radical
thieves rioted in fat offices from the center to the circumference of the country. While this indebtedness was increasing by every dishonest means known to radical scoundrelism, it will be seen that the valuation of property in the 130 cities named increased only $2,723,405,777. Valuat ion of property In 130 cities tn IS 76 56,175,082,158 Valuation of property in 130 cities In 1MJ 3.451,619,381
Increase...-.... . - l2,72J,4t2,777 Thus it will be seen that while the valuation of property for the period mentioned Increased only a fraction more than 100 per cent debts increased nearly 300 per cent This style of financiering is in strict accordance with the radical policy as shown in all its transactions with the fiscal affairs of government, municipal, state or federal, since it cme Into power. The annual taxation of the cities named, under the influence of radical villainy, assumed such proportions as to create universal alarm. Let ns see: Annual taxation of 130 cities in 187...... 1112,711,273 Annual taxation of I3i) cities lu im fu.wio.cjs 1 ncrtive fis,&5l,178 It will be seen by these figures that radicalism disregard all laws in its dealings with the public money. From the day it assumed control it proclaimed its right to steal, and it has permitted do opportunity to pass unimproved to rob the people. Every fundamental principle of honesty has been set aside, the rights of the people disregarded, and Only the possibility to appropriate the public money for sslfish and partisan . ends considered. Not the slightest attention has ever been shown by radical financiers to the importance of considering valuation of property where debts were contracted, nor the amount of taxation which the people would be compelled to pey. The chief and overwhelming purpose has been to rob and divide, fly the bloody shirt, talk war and plunder the revenues of cities, states and the nation. These things the radical party have done, and the people, convinced of its perfidy.have concluded to send it to the rear. What is true of the 130 cities we have referred to is equally true of a'l other cities, true of states and true of the federal revenues. With an increase of population of about 33 per cent, we have an increa.se of debt of more than 200 per cent, and an increase of taxation of nearly "JO per cent. - The purpose of the democratic party is to change the radical policy in financial affairs. This has been seen during the late session of congress The democratic house has ceaselessly sought to cut down expenses while the radical senate has stubbornly resisted every effort to accomplish retrenchment. The people of Indiana will be likely to take these facts and figures into consideration, and when Ben Harrison is lifted up ns the standard-bearer of the great national thief party he will be required to answer some exceedingly difficult questions, and when the battle is over he will be found, as in the case of the contest with Uncle Jimmy Williams, so far In the rear that it will require the aid of lightning to count the mile stones before Christmas. LIZE FIXKSTOX. And now it is in order for Murat Halstead to come to the front and explain all about the perjuries committed by his swamp angel, Lize Finkston, who damned her soul in the interest of Hayc3 for $500, and then got cheated out of $150 of the amount by the men who induced her to commit the crime of perjury. A more revolting Btory of crime was never to'd. It stamps upon Hayes' title another plague spot; it makes radicalism still more infamously repulsive; it adds to the already overgrown hideousnc3S of the Louisiana returning board atrociousness new features of scoundrelism hitherto unknown. This poor miserable wretch, L'ze Pinks ton, having been swindled by those who used her throat as a sewer for the most blasphemous perjuries ever recorded since the day when the corner stones of hell was laid, now comes forward and confesses that her whole story waj a lie. The New York Herald paints the picture of her appearance before the returning board, when J. Madison Wells, as head devil, surrounded by his imps of darkness, were acting under the approval of Sherman, Stanley Matthews, and otheragenta cf Hayes. The Herald says: The tragic appearance of this poor woman before the eturnlng board and the visiting titatesmn. In iK7(, has hardly been forgotten by anybody. Weak, scarcely able to speak, stretched upon a sofa, she was suddenly but ienieriy urouj;ui ui wio iwui r m u: , cm, aud Anderson were pretending to count the vole of IxtuUiana, and being quextioned aim gave In low tout and apparently witn extreme fiiiflering from her uumemus wounds, aa account of a brutal and c-ld blooded act of assassination and outrage of which she and her husband had been the vict-msatthe hands of democratic bukdozers In OuacniUi parish. The manner of her introduction, her appearance of suffering and exhaus ion, and the tory slie told, produced, as was not unnatural, a deep effect upon the whole country. Democrats as well as republicans declared that this kind of tiling would not do. For the moment nobody doubted tbe truth of her tale, for was she not there herself, wounded, scarred, suffering, to tell it? When the re turning board made thit awkward discovery of tbe Insertion in a parish return of a protest dated ten days after the return was mailed, the ready-witted Mr. Ktoaghton came promptly to the rettvue wit h the Immortal remrk thatIlre Is evidently a clerical error;" bat when Eliza Piukslon testified from her sofa no democratic Humghton was there to throw doubt upon her story. Very soon it was Eronounced on positive evidence to b? false; ut It was the a too late; Eliza had disappeared and was supposed to have died of her Injuries, and her tale remained as a convenient campaign document. We submit that it is impossible to give the picture darker shades. It is a purely radical scene in all of its characters and all of its shades of coloring. The Herald proceeds to say, in commenting npen the subject: Anderon, Agnes Jenks, Eliza Pinkston, Itenms, Stearns, McLln. Madison Wells these are the kind of people about whom repub.ican Mump orators preached to tbe country in 1878; these were the heroes aud m.rtvrs, the upholders of equal right, the faithful and 8 uttering uuiouUts, the "gentlemen as intelligent and ns honest I am," as Mr. Sherman feelingly described the members of the returning board in his place In the senate. Wherever the Potter committee has touched the politic of Louisiana or Florida It has turned up perjury or brazen mendacity, tio far as the committee has none It has not heard a single witness of Importance whose testimony the public trusts. Yet It has examined some of the most Important republicans In thossstaUa. Who believes Mc Lint et Melon's acts and vote on the Florida returning board gave that state to the republicans. Who believes Anderson? Vet Andersons protest deprived a whole parish of its vote, and without It or some equivalent act or rasoollty Louisiana must have pone to the democrats. Who believes lenniT But Itennls swears that he could have given Florida to Tilden, and woald have done so If the visiting statesmen had not pernuaded him that he would be "taken care of." Here was. the gretftest, the mo-t momentous act of the people of the United (States the selection of their
ruler; and here cornea a petty politician of a petty state and growls out to the friends of one of the candidates that unless he is taken care of he will change the whole result. About eight and a half millions of citizens went to tbe polls In November, 1876, and cast their votes, and after all their troublo and excitement McLin and Dennis, Anderson and Agnes Jenks, Madison Wells, Pitkin and Eliza Pinkston decid xl tbe election, and with inusinarX'vnlclBm demanded to be "taken care ol" before they would tell us who should be our next president. Now then, with such a record is it possible for the radical party to maintain possession of any department of the government? We do not believe it. . It is not in the nature of things. The American people will not indorse a party that rewards perjured scoundrels for reversing their will in a matter of so much importance as that of choosing a ruler. The radical party is doomed and damned.
THE HOX. JOSEPH . VeDOSALD. After an eight months' siege in the senate of the United States, Senator McDonald, crowned with fresh laurels as a statesman, returns to his home to mingle again with friends and neighbors, to lay aside for a few months the senatorial robes and don the modest garb of a private citizen. The reception given Senator McDonald last evening by the Washington club, at their elegant parlors on North Meridian street, was one of the most enjoyable affairs of the season. It was eminently social, free from partisanship and in all regards neighborly. The . generous greetings extended to the distinguished guest of of the evening evidenced the strong hold he has upon tbe regards not only of democrats but upon his fellow citizens generally, by whom he is held in the highest esteem as a citizen and a statesman, r. McDonald expressed himself as pleased with the furlough the adjournment of congress affords, and though looking in superb health, relaxation will doubtless impart new vigor, physical and mental, necessary for the winter campaign. Ox the 12th of December, A. D. 18G0, a letter was written by the Hon D. W. Voorhees, of Indiana, now United States senator in place of O. P. Morton, in which he introduced Captain Francis D.Shoup, of the U. S. A., "a graduate of West Point and an upright 'gentleman." Captain Shoup it seems Was going south with an invalid sister, in search of health under the genial influences of that sunny clime, and xnigJlt make it bis future home. Mr. Voorhees took occasion to say that "on the disturbing questions of the day his '(Captain Shoup's) sentiments are entirely with the south;" and'Mr. Voorhees might have added, with entire truthfulness, we have no doubt, that "Captain Shoup's sentiments accord entirely with 'the Journal's." Mr. Voorhees, if he had thought it important, could have said in his letter to Captain Shoup that the Indianapolis Journal is opposed to fighting for the Union, and that it wants the south to "git up and git" without any disturbance whatever take as many states as it wants, have a sep arate government, and run its own machine. Probably Mr. Voorhees did not regard the sentiments of the Journal worth a continental darn then, as they are not regarded worth a pinch of snuff now. It was the Journal and kindred radical sheets that, about the year 1860, gave aid and comfort to Jeff Davis and his co-workers by tellintr. them they could "go peacefully," "retire in good or'der," and "fix things up to suit themselves," or words to that effect. It was such sheets as the "Journal and the New York Tribune that said the constitution was a "league with hell," and that the starry banner was a "flaunting lie." We do not know just what Captain Shoup's sentiments were, but they could not bave been more acceptable to Jeff Davis, to Aler. Stephens and General Key, Hayes' postmaster general, than the sentiments of the Journal, published, as the almanacs say, "about 'these days." Will the Journal, if we have misquoted it, please state just what it did say to encourage the rebellion and to make Jeff Davis hopeful? Will the Journal put itself on record for the campaign? DM it say "the Union was not worth fightine for," or use some such expression? Will it be frank enough, now that it is caught, to tell just how much of a sneaking, cowardly lickspittle it was in those days? The cruel war is over; garments died in blood have passed away the clangor of arms is heard no more; union, fraternity, peace and good will, are the watch words and the battle cries now. The man who flouts the bloody shirt now the 6ymbol of cowards and thieves, conspirators and perjurers can have no influence in a campaign except with men who, like John Sherman, would barter federal offices for perjury, and place a man in the offics of president by fraud. The Journal still flies it. 1'OL.ITICAL. POINTS. Stanley Can tat.

Whether she knows It or not, or cares or not, it is altogether likely th.it Mrs. Jenks' appearance has put back the adoption of the sixteenth amendment for a decade or so.

A rumor is current in tbe European capitals that the wounded Kaiser is willing to abdicate in favor of the Crown Prince. Wilhelm is not lacking in courage, but he is very old, and riding under the Linden as emperor, with frequent shot guns pointed from second floor windows, is not an unmixed pleasure. Fritz has made a good regent. Why not abdicate! The postmaster at Lawrenceville, Virginia, when asked for a contribution to the republican campaign fund, responded thus: "I would like to inform you that I am no republican, and I ask you to stop tending me circulars and other papers. I am a genuine democrat. You think because I am a postmaster I am bound to have poked alter tbe republicans after it. I want no more communications from you; stop at once." It is said of Professor Fawcett, the blind member of parliament, that no sooner bad he recognized that he was hopelessly blind for life be was shot in the eyes by a companion while out partridge shooting than he determined that "it should make no difference," except perhaps that his career should be political rather than leal. Already entered at Lincoln's Inn, he relinquished, after some thought, a legal career entirely, and, to the amazement of his friends, proceeded to active political work.
The Boss Bany-Itody. (Philadelphia Times. Secretary Sherman talks with great fluency when not under oath. He informed a Washington correspondent a day or two ago that there was no sach thing as an original of "tbe so-called Sherman letter." This is a much more daring thing than be raid when before the committee.but Mrs. Jenks hadn't tamed up then to give tbe cabinet minister aid and comfort. Mr. Sherman further "thought the investigation was itenng out, and that tbe public would justly estimate their attempt to besmear a government official with mud. and remember the perpetrators hereafter." The secretary was so busy preparing for resumption, which he is going to bring about before congress meets again, that he bad no time to say anything more, and for the same reason he has been reluctantly compelled to ?ut off sueing a lot of newspapers for libel. Ir. Sherman has generally been too busy for the country's good. Tbe Difference. IWashtngton Pot.l Republican writers and speakers are still flinging the name of O'Conner at tbe democracy as if it were a blast of annihilation. The points of difference between O'Conner and tome of the great radical leaders are that his career of crime was checked, while theirs is still going on; he repented, while they glory in iniquity; he was but a petty criminal, while t4ey are great tcoundrels. In short, the principle difference is tbat which exists between a pint measure and a hogshead. What it Really la. Austin (Nev.)

ANOTHER HORROR.
Ghouls Have Been Working In Marion. County. The Body of a Former Citizen of Allisonville Pound ia the Tat at Ann Arbor. Six or Eight Bodlea Have been Ex. pressed from tbls City to Michigan. I Ann Arbor, June 30, Special to the Enqulrer.j The body of the person In search of whom Detective Snelbaker visited the medical vaults last night was identified this morning beyond all question. Before leaviDg the college last night it was suggested to Dr. Herd man that the body should not be restored to the vats, but left upon the bench for further identification to-day. Dr. Herdman, however, directed that the body should be placed back in the vat with the others, in order tbat in case it was not identified he would run no risk of losing a pitce of such valuable property. In other words, he had paid $20 or $30 for the "stiff," and if the body was not identified he wished to have it in good shape to sell to the medial students next fall for that is the regular price . and get his percentage of profit. So at Herdman's suggestion the remains were wrapped in cloths saturated in solution of arsenic of soda and left with the other bodies till today. About 9 o'clock this morning Colonel 1 Snelbacker and Dr. Bush, of Warsaw, Indiana, repaired to the cellar. of the medical' college to take one more look at the remains of the latter' a brother, if such they were. The student, Sefton, was there to meet them by appointment, and immediately upon entering the room Dr. Bush's first look at the body convinced him of its complete Identity, and he exclaimed: "That's my brother there can be no doubt." The solution of arsenic seemed to have brought out more . clearlv the features of the deceased, which now exhibited an unmistakable likeness to Dr. Bash's brother. The private marks by which it was identified were an indenture in the center of the forehead caused accidentally by bea-ed lead, the peculiarities of which bad been injured, and also of the teeth. The deceased had a plate containing two teeth in the npper and front part of his month, and although vacant, the places for the teeth were there. This is the body from whose mouth a plate fell when it was removed from the vat on the night of Devms' visit. The plate was probably then lost. An undertaker named Martin was immediately summoned, and about noon tbe body was taken to his rooms on Main street There it was wrapped in cloth saturated with a preservative fluid, and placed in a common wooden box for reshipment The box was then filled in with charcoal as a disinfectant, and the remains were then ready for transportation. Dr. J. M. Bush, the gentleman here, resides at Warsaw, and about 100 miles from AUisonville, where the family of the deceased lives, and where he was 1 : . iii:.:ii tn :i t uiuicu. .aiusuuviiic is x utiles lrum iudianapolia, where he was well known. Some two or three months ago there was a rnmor in AUisonville tbat the grave of this man had bsen robbed, and a friend of the family investigated and found the body gone. He informed no one of the discovery, thinking that it would do no good, and believing that it would be impossible to recover the remains. On the other hand, he informed the mother of the deceased that the rumors were unfounded, and tbat her son remained in his grave, thus allaying her suspicions. It was only a week ago that the brother, residing at Warsaw, learned of the facts aud ascertained their truth. He immediately wrots Colonel Snelbaker at Cincinnati, and asked his assistance. In that letter he stated that his brother's body must have been stolen within a day or so of his burial, and that tbe Indiana medical college at Tndianapolis was not in want of material at that time, which fact led him to conclude that the body of bis brother was not there. Another reason which brought him to the same conclusion was that his brother was well known at the college, and it was, therefore, unlikely that they would receive him. Then the letter contained a full description of the body which Colonel Snelbaker believed to correspond with a body he had seen here. The detective at once telegraphed Dr. Bush to come on to Cincinnati, and the latter arrived there Friday evening, when both started together for Ann Arbor, arriving here yesterday afternoon, as stated in last night's dispatch, and their search has resulted as already mentioned. Dr. J. E. Bush, the deceased, has lived for many years with his late father's family, at AUisonville, where they are well known and highly respected. He graduated at the Indiana medical college, at Indianapolis, four years ago, and then returned to his native place to practice. His brother, now here, is a graduate of the same college. The deceased was one of the most prominent citizens of this place, holding a high position as a doctor and as a member of tbe masonic and odd fellow fraternities. He died last March of consuiqptio.i. Tbe family of the deceased consists of an aged motDer, two sisters ana two Drotners, one of whom is here. They will learn to-morrow for tbe first time not only of the robbery ot the grave, but also simultaneously of tbe discovery of the body here in the pickling vats. This information they will probably receive earliest through the Enquirer. Coloml Snel biker, siTio deserves great credit for the quickness with which he has worked np this case successfully, having no information of it nntil a few days ago, and Dr. Bush start Monday morning at 2 o'clock with the body for Indisnapolis, There will be little difficulty in recognizing the rema'nr. The eyes, of course, are gone, and also one-half of the beard and mustache and much of the hair. The features are, however, tolerably well defined and distinct. Morton and another man are implicated in this case, and there is no question that he has worked up ludianapolis and vicinity. The eipress compauy'r books show that six or eight bodies have been sent to the college here direct from In dianapolis, and there is no possible way of . knowing how many others have been shipped to points on the Michigan Ceutral railroad near here, and then reshipped here. We say to the people of that vicinity, look to the graves of your friends; if yon find them empty, ten to one their former occupants are resting in the vats of the Michigan university medical college. The appear- V ances now are that before the summer is gone half of the 47 bodies now here will have been identified. . Poor Jeaka. . New York Tribune.
