THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL; WEDNESDAY MORNINGr, JULY 31, 1878.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 31. Arn bo Mr. Tyner is a salary grabber?

Johs.Petir Cleaver Shasks is in the list of the salary grabber. The Journal should remember that Morton was a salary grabber. Courier-Journal. The Journal denies the charge. Indiana, by tLe radical Sbylock curse of contractiou, lost $25,000,000 in six years and six months. Garfield, the leader of the rads in congress, took what the law allowed him and is a salary grabber. Mb. VooKirEE-ssays he did not apeak disapprovingly to a Springfield reporter of the Potter coram ilteo. The reporter says he did. We believe the reporter. LAfayette Courier. "Well, believe a lie and be da m aged. Joh Shermas has saved in eighteen years, from a salary of '$5,000, an estate valued at $2,000,000. Who bat an accomplished radical could do that? Did not the lion. John Coburn bring his salary grab to this city, and then becoming frightened at the howl raised, cover it Into the treasury? He is a republican. John Sherman is going to swear. Let the .devil take notice and see that he "stands 'firm," as did the perjured villains who stole the vote of Louisiana and got rewarded with federal offices. The Journal attempts facet iousness, when referring to the Sentinel's figures showing the extent of contraction since 1SG5, but its success is about equal to that of a hog when it attempt? to whistle. The English anti-slavery society reports that the slave trade takes from 400,000 to 500,000 people from Africa every year. The customers of the slave catchers are Mussulmans a set of heathen to whom Eogland has guranteed protection. We have shown that the radical party, in obedience to the demands of Shy locks, contracted the currency from 1366 to 1S73 more thsn $1,000,000,000, and that the losses by failures for the same period amounted to more than $1,250,000,000. Hates, the presidential fraud, has appointed to federal offices within the last three weeks at least a dozen scoundrels who were connected with the Florida frauds. The miscreants who have been provided for are all to be called before the Potter committee. H. K. fiREfiG, a real estate agent of Baltimore, has for several years been getting ready for radical rale, and has so far advanced that he takes but one meal a day. If the infernal policy of tho radical party continues to curse tha country Mr. Greg will have to take less than one square meal a day. The great estate of Jay Cook fc Co. don't pay worth a cent. Old Jay himself was one of the most polished villains with whom Grant ever fell iradove, and he managed to fail at a time when it was the most profitable, and though everybody got swindled Jay Cook retained the distinguished friendship of Grant. The reason the senate's sabstitute for the house bill to repeal the. resumption act did not pass the house was because the senate bill pave Jobn Sherman the power to withdraw greenbacks from circulation, and thereby further contract the currency. To this General Ewing and those who voted with him objected. General Fitz John Porter is likely to be completely vindicated, in so far as that can be accomplished by a favorable verdict. But who is to make atonement for the sixteen years of mental suffering experienced by Porter occasioned by Pope's false charges? Pope is in a fair way to be regarded the most contemptible speciman of humanity on the continent Up to the 5th of July the receipts of the Paris exposition amounted to $753,334, and the success of the project is assured. At the expositioa of 1807 the receipts for the same number of days were far less than those of the present one, though that Is considered by the most careful estimates to have been arranged on a better financial basis than the one now in progress. The Journal and other small-fry radical Sbylock organs can not forgive the Hon. D. W. Voorhees for being a bigger senator than Morton. From the moment Mr. Voorhees entered the senate chamber he walked among his official peers an intellectual giant, and when he made his great speech upon national finances Morton was forgotten, and has scarcely been heard of since. Tiierb is more government money, paper ami coin together, ia circulation in the United States now than there was in 1X73 before the panic; more than three times as much paper money as there ever was at any time before the war, and the amount per capita to the population of the country is considerably more than twice as great as It was at the beginning of the war. Journal. In 1800 the currency in circulation amounted to $1,803,702,726, and in 1873 it had been contracted to the amount of $1,020,410,977, leaving only $783,291,740 in circulation. It was this contraction that brought about the panic, which continues, and which, in recorded failures alone, has cost Indiana about $2J,000,0)0. The national congressional convention for this, the Seventh, district, held yesterday, did an unaccountably wise act in the nomination of Dr. Gilbert De La Matyr for congress. Few men are better or more favorably known in thecity,and, indeed, throughout the district than is Dr. De La Matyr. He ia recognized as a gentleman of high character, earnest convictions and of superior ability. His political views, stated in a general way and in few word?, are of tife broad and liberal school of politics which is so rapidly developing and assuming its ightful governing power both in the states and the councils of the cation. If we are correctly informed the doctor Is of the opinion that the real great Issues presented before the country In the present

campaign are two: Pacification the restoiation of real fraternal feeling between tte

sections and the adjustment of our financial J policy upon a basis of justica and harmony with the needs and requirements of the business interests of the country. JngiDg from views recently given the public, and also from other information, the gentleman understands well the needs of the people, and is thoroughly in sympathy with them. There are many more improbable things than that Dr. De La Matyr will represent the Seventh district in the Forty-sixth congress. The New York Evening Poet, an out and out radical sheet, does not fail to see that the Louisville Courier-Journal in its professed friendthip for Indiana democracy is doing about as much harm as it is possible for treachery to accomplish, and says: In an extraordinary article on Indiana politico the Louisville Courier-Journal bays, with all tlte force which double leaus can give, that Senator Voorhees is "all wrong In his financial theories," that ''the financial Issue" In "a nasty little wrangle unworthy of such abilities as his," that"lt is pitiful to read the comments of the money-grubbing eastern press upon this truly representative American," that "he h-s gone mad about the finances," that he is to be "squelched by the organs of the money power," thai "he is the man the money bags fear," that "money is not yet the alpha ana omega of American politics" and that "we ignore financial differences and ko In for Dan." if the beginning of tlte congressional canvass produces such a mixture of inconsistent nonsense as this, what may we expect by election day or In the campain of ltftO? Indiana democrats can not too soon or too emphatically indicate to the Courier-Journal that its professed friendship is" infinitely worse than its open hostility. ' Such a widely known nincompoop as Henri Watterson ought not to be permitted to exercise any influence in the council of the democratic party of Indiana Thk New Albany Ledger-Standard, the most consistent and able democratic paper In the state, declines to stultify Itself by supporting Mr. Voorhees for the United States senate. It says: "From present Indications Mr. Voorhees may not be In our r inks long, but may Hand with that secret, oath bound communistic organization known as nationals, ills record in the last congress is not any more democratic than It ougnt to be; and, besides, there are scores of better men In the state who much more deserve to be made United States senator." Journal. We congratulate the Ledger-Standard upon the indorsement it obtains from a sheet which, to the extent of its abilities, will compare favorably with any organ of the national thief party in the country; a paper that indorses the frauds, forgeries and purjuries by virtue of which Hayes occupies the office of president; a paper that apologises for every act of scoundrelism perpetrated by the radical party since it came into existence. A paper that omits no opportunity to defame the democratic party is the paper that pats the Ledger-Standard on the back, and tells it, as John Sherman told Anderson and Weber, to "stand firm" and they would be rewarded. By all the gods at once, such an indorsement ought to make it necessary for tha Ledger-Standard to take a Turkish bath every hour in the day to relieve it of the Stench such an indorsement inflicts. The fact that this country is subjected to the calamity of an Indian war every year or two is a matter of so much importance that congress ought never to cease investigations until the causes are ascertained and the needed remedies applied. There is no reason for doubting that a majority of these wars during the last two decades of years have originated directly from a series of scoundrelisms perpetrated by radical thieves appointed by radical administrations as Indian agents: The proof is overwhelming. But when the democrats in congress sought to remedy the matter by placing -Indian affairs under control of the army, we find a radical senate objecting, and as a consequence the villainies of the Indian agents proceeded unchecked and unpunished. The Indians take to the war path, and another war with its sacrifices of men and money is forced upon the country. While the Indian agents are doing what they can to foment strife the Mormons are playing the same murderous game. This is confirmed by the written statements of the Indian commissioner at Ogden City, Utah, Mr. Alexander, who "has 'written to the authorities at Washington 'some facts regarding the origin of Indian 'wars and the source of the supply of arms 'and ammunition which the Indians always possess. He says that the traffic in ammu'nition is carried on by the co-one rati ve 'stores to the Indians; that the co-operative 'stores are condncted by the Mormon priest'hood. The deputy United States marshals 'at Ogden City and elsewhere have assured 'the commissioner that the traffic is carried 'on daily, and beyond all doubt by all sim'ilar institutions all over the territory and 'in Southern Idaho. These places are direct'ly on the Indian border. The Mormon 'priesthood have constant missionaries 'among the Indians. He further says: 'The 'latter are converted , to Mormonism 'and taken through the endowment 'house, where they (the Indians) pledge themselves to support the priest'hood, or, as they are called by the Mormons, our battle axes. There almost every In'dian war is carried on directly or indirectly 'by this pries! hood, and therefore this traffic 'of ammunition. The great aim of the 'priesthood is to intimidate non-Mormons 'from settling the valleys anywhere within 'five hundred miles of Salt Lake, for the pur'pose of keeping the lands vacant until, by 'the natural and steady and rapid growth of 'Morraonism, the piiesthood can colonize the 'unoccupied regions. The so called masonry 'that binds all tribes together, so often referred to by the press of the United States, 'emanates from the endowment temple at 'Salt Lake, where the secret work and the 'endowment garments are given them. The 'so called friendly Indians are always carry'ing information and ammunition to the 'hostile. As this is as serious as cobtly, I 'deem it my duty to report the same to you, 'and if there is no law to stop the sale of 'ammunition to the Indians, I suggest for the president to issue a proclamation in which 'to prohibit the sale of ammunition and fire'arms to' the Indians during the time of hos'tility. If our covernor of this territory 'should be alive to the interests he should 'represent, I am certain this traffic could not 'be carried on as extensively as it is.' " Accepting Mr. Alexander's statements as true, the government ought to be strong enough to punish the Mormons, and if nothing else will do, quarter the entire army in Utah and compel prie3t and danite to submit to the laws of the land.

SUFFRAGE AND CENTRALIZATION . The radical party of to-day gives evidence of being the legitimate spawn of the old federal party by certain ancestral deformities and infirmities, which -admit of neither doubt nor successful deniaLlThe Old federal party, as authoritatively represented by John Adams and Alexander Hamilton, was op posed to the democratic idea of "universal 'suffrage," or, as it is sometimes termed, "manhood suffrage." Those who wa'ch closely the drift of public opinion as expressed by the organs of the radical party will not fail to notice tLe outcroppings of hostility to universal suffrage. The declarations are not very positive as yet. The advocates of a centralized despotism are cautiously feeling their way by putting forth Lord Macaulay's opinions of Thomas Jefferson and of -universal suffrage, which he (Macaulay) calls "the yotes of people counted by 'the head." Macaulay's objections to Jefferson grew out of the grand declaration made by Jefferson that all men are equal. To this Macaulay objected. He did not believe that the "rich and the poor, the 'wise and the ignorant, the virtuous and the 'vicious," should be counted as equal and endowed with equal political power, and since "that is the fatal vice 'of the institutions Jefferson founded," he neither respected the name of Jefferson nor had any confidence whatever in our form of government. The radical organs

Lare now reproducing Macaulay's estimate of Jefferson and his opposition to constitutional liberty and republican institutions with approving comments. The Journal a few days since published the following, written by Macaulay to S. S. Randal, of New York, upon receipt of the life of Thomas Jefferson. He said: I do not believe that It is passible to establish institutions that will be permanent, ba-ed upon the votes of people counted by the heac. That proceeds upon the supposition that the rich and the poor, the wise and the Ignorant, the virtuous and the vicious, are all counted as equal and endowed with equal political power. That Is the fatal vice of the Institutions that Jefferson founded. Now your country can prosper so long as you have great spaces of unoccupied land, a great west for your surplus population, but the time will come in your history when New England will be as thickly populated as old England, when there will be no more fertile, unoccupied lands for your expanding population. Then will come the real strain and test of your Institutions. There will bo periods of scarcity and distress. Thousands of laborers will be out of work, and men will begin to say there is no justice la allowing one man to have a million while another has not. a meal; no justice In letting one man ride in his carriage and dine sumptuously while another hears his children cry for bread. And when that hour comes yoar government will be brought to It final and fatal test. Then a discontented, hopeless, starving majority will elect the governors of your states, tho members of your legislatures, and your president; and then 1 fear. If not in thiscentury.certainly in the next, your country will be a fearfully ravaged as was the Roman empire by the Hanaaud the Vandals of the firth century: only with this difference: your Huns and Vandals will have been engendered by your own Institutions. Your constitution is nil sail and no anchor. There is nothing to stay you. I wish you might have a better fate, but my wishes and my reason are at war. And, therefore, believing your fate is certain. I cannot congratulate you upon Thomas Jefferson and the doctrines he taught. To publish, such stuff as the above from the pen of a prejudiced Englishman as an argument against universal suffrage, constitutional liberty, republican institutions and democratic equality indicates distinctly the drift of radical sentiment in favor of a centralized despotism. The Journal, m commenting upon Macaulay's opposition to our form of government and the exalted privileges enjoyed by all the people, says: Such was Macaulay's indictment of American Institutions and his prophecy concerning them. No more powerful Indictment of the democratic principle or of universal sntfrage was ever penned. Macaulay was not nnlriendlyto the United States or to the American leople, but he was honestly opposed to our form of government for the reasons above stated. He did not believe the democratic principle to be sound, or that the government of the United States would stand the great strain which all governments must stand sooner or later. Powerful indictments of the democratic principle of universal suffrage is what the Journal styles Macaulay's preference for kingly rule to the voice of the people in matters of government Mr. Jefferson was intimately acquainted with the governments of Europe, and with that of England be was specially familiar. In all regards Thomas. Jefferson waj the superior of Baron Macaulay as a statesman, and hence it illy becomes an American to insult the country with fulsome laudations of Macau lay's criticisms of one f the most distinguished patriots and statesmen this country has ever produced. We are more than willing that universal suffrage should be denom inated "a democratic principle," and we are glad to believe that it is so thoroughly incor porated into the life of the republic that all of the radical organs and oran grinders outside of hell will not be able to disturb it It Is quite possible that other English writers have been as explicit and as emphatic as Macaulay in denouncing universal suffrage, and in all king cursed countries the Journal may be able to find writers ready and willing to aid it in its efforts to overthrow the "democratic principle" of universal suffrage' It is a democratic principle, and can not be discarded. It elevates, ennobles and dig nifies the citizen, and makes the government of the United States of the people, by the people and for the people. Under its influ ence those born in lowly circumstances may rise, like Abraham Lincoln, to the highest honors. The Journal may exhaust its rice water arguments in favor of Macaulay's op position to the democratic Jeffersonian prin ciples of universal suffrage, but it will have no effect except to demonstrate for the fiftieth time, in as many weeks, that the Journal's prejudices obscure its judgment, and in this instance is all the more surpris ing, since universal suffrage in its elevating influence has made it possible for a saddler's jour to walk the quarter deck of the Tallapoosa socially the peer of high government officials. The Journal seems to think that only in universal education has the country any hope of maintaining universal suffrage and of escaping the predictions of Macaulay. It says: Under a system of universal suffrage the only safety isin universal education and in the constant watchfulness of the Intelligent, conservative elements of society to resist the inroads of the ignorant and dangerous classes. There are principles abroad In the land to-day with considerable following, which, if allowed to prevail, will make Macaulay's prediction a verity before the end of the century. All that is necessary to make them prevail Is to let them alone. They are the outgrowth of Ignorance, and most be fought with the weapons of Intelligence. We favor universal education, for that, too. is a democratic principle, but univesal suffrage is the most important, since universal education is the outgrowth of universal suffrage. But unfortunately neither universal suffrage nor universal education, nor

both combined, have brought about a state of things in this country indicating the near approach of the millennial dawn. The rad

ical party is still in power, and a presidential fraud is at the head of affairs. Under radical rule men are rewarded for committing crimes, and perjury is bid for in the open market by John Sherman, secretary of the treasury. Such things ought to disappear quite independent of Macaulay's prediction, for radicalism is worse than trami and communism combined for it is the prolific mother of all conceivable crimes. The suoreme demand is to acain overwhelm the radical party at the polls and then see to it that no radical returning board, aided by visiting statesmen and perjured villains. wrest victory from the democratic party and bring universal suffrage and universal edu cation again into disrepute. Borrow facts. As time passes it becomes important to keep before the American people the tri. umph of the democratic party in 1S7G, and the magnitude of the fraud by which the radical party reversed the verdict of the people. "It having now become not only 'plain but undisputed that the counting of 'Louisiana and Florida for Hayes was a 'fraud, it is salutary and timely," says the Brooklyn Eagle, "to show just what the real 'popular and electoral vote for president in 'U76 was, the figures in front of the states 'being their electoral vote: H'ates.

The fact that gold and silver are piled up in the mountaines of the far west is no longer doubted, but the mad thirst for gold which took possession of the masses in 1849 and continued until California passed from a wilderness to a state, has to a very great extent been allayed, not because gold is less desirable, but rather because the hunt for the precious metals involves expenditures which require the association of capitalists, and even then success does not always crown the efforts of the gold hunters. There are, however, occasionally splendid triumphs in mining well calculated to inspire confidence in the wealth of the mountains and attract the attention of those who have money to invest in mining ventures. The Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise of recent date has an article upon the expenditures and dividends of the "Bonanza" mines. It says: Ou Tuesday last there was a shipment of bullion from the Bonanza mines which completed the mighty aggregate or Jl00.000,i-00 shipikhI Irom those mines. The exact figures were, from the California f 11)1722.20, and from the Consolidated Virginia S59,195,532.85 a total of sioo,011,sj.0o. From this sum the California has paid 26 dividends, aggregating 128,080,000, and the Consolidated Virginia has paid 46 dividends, aggregating 41,010,000, making a total of SKa.lW.uOO. There have been, since the last dividend wasdeclared.shlpmentsamonntlng to lso.6T5.08. which will swell the dividends f 110,000, leaving the lull amount of dividends S69.d80,uo, or within a fraction of 70 per cent, of the whole gross product of the mines. Thene are tremendous figures, and are altogether unprecedented In mining. Turn them about, or analyze them In anyway, and the result is magnificent. The yield is equal to oue-sixteeuth of the interest bearing portion of the- national debt; it Is equal to the value of the property of all kinds in an average city of 12i,n-0 inhabitants; It is more than the value of all the real and personal property of this state, and the comparisons might be extended indefinitely. This amount has been taken from a little spot of ground less than 800 feet in length. And the marvelous deposit is Etill yielding princely sums. In all the mining of the world no other such success was ever won before. For five years, from 1867 to 872,a company worked upon the ground all tlte time, expending S16U510.41 upou the property without realizing one cent In return. At last it was forced to give way, and on the 11th of January, 1872, the property fell to the present management. These men exended tJ77, 150.12 on the property before realizing $1.00 from it. It was a stubborn fight against the heat and the barren porphyry a steady pouring out of gold on a hope, wnich continued altogether 8 years, and wnich would have been abandoned n any other country but this, and by any other class of men hi the world except Nevada miners. Call It judgment, sagacity, faith, pluck, or what you will: It is a faculty, or rather a combination of faculties, which exists nowhere else on earth. The old 6tock only 108,000 shares for each mine was worth but Si per share, and some who per force accepted It for services rendered, bewailed the ir hard fortune. 81nce then It has made them richer than they ever dreamed of being, and their word is held In great estimation because of their shrewdness in purchasing bonanza stocks when they were low. At last In a drill which was run from the Gould and Curry shalt through the J 'est and Helcher mine into the Consolidated Virginia, the crest of the lnnanza was cur, explorations followed, and the more work that was dons the more ore was exposed, until at length In the autumn of 1874 it was fully revealed that an ore deposit had been disco vered that exceeded in extent and richness anything ever found before in a mine. On October 18, 1873, the first shipment of bullion from the Consolidated Virginia was made. That was thrre mouths less than five years ago, and now the product, as we have shown, lias exceeded 1 100,000,000, almost seventenths of which have been In profits. Of the whole amount about 45 per cent, has twen gold and 55 per cent, silver. The yield ot tl ese two mines has drawn the eyes of thewhola wo;ld to Nevada. It has shown as was never before shown the oossibil Ities whlcJp lie within the grasp of labor, pluctc and Judgment to our our country. It has lifted up the credit of the United States among the nations of the earth; it has revealed the possible time wheu the world's commercial capital maybe removed from the eastern to the western hemisphere. By this it will be seen that more than $4U0,Q0Q were expended before a pro3pect ot

any returns was secured. The final result of the venture in opening the Bonanza mines ia certain to awaken a lively interest in mining, and it is understood that large investments will be made during the present season in locating mines and getting machinery made for active operations.

THE ISSUES. The managers of both of the old parties begin to understand that the financial question will be the controlling question in the fall campaign. Their recognition of the fact is the more significant because accorded reluctant y and In spite of the preparations male lor the adoption of different tac tics. The democrats have hoped to substitute the cry of "fraud" for all professions of principle and all attempts to formulate a policy. A brief experience ha shown that their expectations are vain. The house took the sting out of the Potter inquirv, and the reported proceedings of the committee are passed over unread. New York Times. The democraric party is fully prepared to enter the campaign upon the question of national finances. Nor does the party seek to dwarf the importance of the question or avoid any of the responsibilities its discussion imposes. For tLe radical party, the financial question presents no phases upon which the leaders will care to dwell a minute beyond the time that the democrats will let them off. A distinguished radical has declared in his place in congress, embodied the declaration in a retort, that for thirteen years radical officials had stolen from the revenues of the country $100,000,000 annually, or a sum total in thirteen years of $1,300,000,000. This is quite an item in the financial record of the radical party. The radical senate has refused Senator L'avis, of West Virginia, the privilege of showing the country where, by false bookkeeping, $200,000,000 had not been honestly appropriated. In fact, the financial question, sj far as it relates to stealing tbe revenues of the country, will be likely to keep the radical party pretty busy in making explanations, confessions and denials until election day. But while the democratic party "will keep the rads actively engaged upon financial questions they must not ex. pect to be let off upon the charges of "fraud." In every county and town throughout the whole country the radical party will be compelled to plead to charges of fraud, of forgery and of perjury. The apologists of fraud may seek to avoid the scorn and indignation of the American people, but it will be useless. A writer in the Washington Post asks, "What good have you or your party accom'plished by the Potter committee? Has 'there been a single fact disclosed that was 'not known before?" The Post, in response to these and several other questions of Similar tenor, says: .The Potter committee have proven, beyond successful rebuttal, things firmly believed to be true, but not absolutely proven to be true, to wit: That the electoral votes of Florida and Louisiana, which were given to Hayes, belonged to Tilden. Leaving out of consideration the state of Florida, which no honest man will deny to have been stolen, we will take up Louisiana. As to Ihl state the Potter committee has clearly proven : 1. That a conspiracy was entered Into by certain republican leaders, the object being to hold no election in East Feliciana, Grant and other democratic parishes. 2. That the fact that no republican votes were cost in East Feliciana was not due to Intimidation, as alleged, but was owing to Anaerson's advice to the republican leaders not to vote, as it would have a better e'tJect than all the affidavits that could be produced. S. That for a period of two days after the election the republican leaders admitted that Tilden and Nichols hal carried the state by a heavy majority. 4. Thai when it became evident that tbe election of Hayes depended upon the result In the state, deliberate preparations were made for the purpose of defeating the will of the people as expressed at the polls. 5. That In puisuance of this plan protests, forged and altered to t-ult the occasion, were maoe for the parishes ot East and West Feliciana, whereby a democratic mnjority of over 1 twenty-eight hundred was changed to a republican majority of five hundred. ti. That tbe supervisors of the above named parishes were prevented by promises of reward, made by John Sherman and others, from exposing such forgeries. 7. That on the 27t h dy of November, when the returning board proceeded to sum up tbe result of their labors, it was discovered that while Packard and a republican legislature was elected, Hayes was defeated. 8. That after the above date, and in order to secure the electoral voto for Hayes, forged protests were made for Richland and other parishes, and the returns from Lafayette and other parishes so changed as to increase the republican vote. 9. That affidavits bearing fictitious names, and the names of dead men, were manufactured in the custom house, and upon such affidavits various democratic polls were thrown out. 10. That the acts above recited were known to some of the "visiting statesmen," and received their approvals 11. That the electond vote of the state, as counted before the two houses of congress, was a forgery. 12.

"When doctors disagree" the patient usual' recovers, so that between the usual remedy for sunstroke prescribed by physicians and the one specifically indorsed by Dr. Herron, of Cincinnati, there is a wide difference when the happy medium that shall save the sufferer may exist. The doctors of New York, not only in their private practice, but at hospifcds and other institutions, have a certain and set line of treatment for cases of sunstroke, and there is but little deviation from t'ns. As individuals require certain adaptations of the rule to each, case, there maybe at times some difference in medicines take:i internally, but the ' external treatrxent is always the same ice and ice water applied profusely to the unxnsdou3 victim of excessive fceat. The patient iu. Jew

York is stripped of all his clothing, placed upon a bed preparedjespecially for sucn cases, and is then bathed with ice water. Upon his head is a peculiar cap, about which is packed crushed ice, and this is never allowed to become exhausted. The principle is to keep the head cool in this manner continuously until death or consciousness comes to the sufferer.' The thermometer plays an important part in diagnosing the case, as the temperature of the body determines in many instances the true state of the disease and of the chances for the patient's recovery. But Dr. Herron has a profound contempt t for ice water in sunstroke, as rabid a hatred for it as the Cincinnati Commercial cherishes, but Instead of prescribing whisky or beer he scientifically explains his dislike, while giving his own remedy. He believes in the greater efficacy of warm salt water, insisting that congestion of the brain, heart and lungs follow soon after the application of ice water but never after the use of a tepid bath. In explanation of his method he says at length: My treatment Is simple and good common sense, and always successful. I have never lost a case, even after excellent physicians have pronounced them hopeless, and had used ice and ice water freely. In the first place, under no circumstances whatever a'low ice, Ice water, or even cold water to be applied to the patient, for the reason that the congestion already taken place

wmuiuj oe increased, ana aeatn lakes place If the patient has not a strong constitution with good reactionary powers to overcome or withstand the ice water or secondary shocc. I know of several cases, and have heard of many, where patients have recovered even alter tne cold and ice water treatment had been applied, but the head has never been as clear as before and the memory impaired. But never under hot water treatment have I known any one to die, or any bad effect to follow, even after the most severe and seemingly fatal case. I have been called to. cases where I have fouud the person to all appearances dying. In two coses the head of the patient was im beded in cracked ice, with Ice water applications. One I found with his head on a large, square cake of Ice, and tbe heat of his head melted the Ice and caused it to sink down to his ears. 1 found one under a hydrant, nearly dead. These, and many more, I have saved with the hot salt water treatment. In all cases, call in an intelligent physician; but if none "can be obtained, make use of the following: TREATMENT. Under all circumstances and In all cases be governed by the mildness or seventy of tbe case. Apply hot salt water freely with a towel or large rag or sponge to the patient's head, face, neck and chest, thereby lelievicg the spasm that has taken place, and opening up the velnous system, allowing the Mood to be carried away from these organs as fast as the aiterles can carry It there, thus relieving the congestion and pressure which, if continued, will surely cause death. At the same time apSly friction to the extremities with the dry and. Slap Uie bottoms ot the feet, and if a very severe case place the feet in a hot mustard bath. Nothing need be given internally except in extreme cases; then give hot whisky, or if the patient is in the habit of using the stimulant give ammonia and water. The physicians of New York claim that warm water fails to accomplish the proper result. Dr. Herron disdains them, and adds that be has saved when ice water has proved nearly fatal, and the people now have their choice of either road to the undertakers. The question is one of veracity, the east pitted against the west, cold water against hot, ice against salt, New York and Bellevue against Cincinnati and Dr. Herron. Xoetiieux papers are continually telling southern planters what they should do to get rich. Instead of being planters, devoting their capital and energies to the cultivation of the great southern staples, these northern advisers tell the southern planters to turn farmers, and cultivate 4 little of everything that their coil and climate will permit. If corn is high, plant core. If bacon is scarce and dear, raise hogs and make your own bacon, and so on through the list of farm products. The New York Daily Bulletin has the following upon the difference between cash and credit for corn and bacon, as prevailing in the several sections of that state July 1:

The above table shows at a glance what enormous per cents farmers are required to pay, for the privilege of cretlit, for articles that should be produced on every larm. It would be unjust to lay the blame entirely on the corn ana bacon merchants. They sell these supplies at very low rates (which probably yield tli em a fair profit) lor cash ; and tbe per cent, charged on credit sales is largely the measure ot the risk Incurred. It is said that "time is money;" in this case time cost much monry. Morai: Farmers should raise their own supplies. ' The simple point of all this is in showing the southern planter that cash down is better than credit, and still the south, in carrying forward its vast planting enterprises, has found it nece?3ary to draw on its credit. The north has responded, and though sometimes the difference between cash and credit has been so great as to attract attention and suggest the abandonment of northern purchases, the southern people are aware that their advancement to wealth lies in the cultivation of cotton, rice and j sugar, rather than corn and hogs in planting rather than farming. Besides national prosperity is largely dependnet upon the exchange of domestic products. ' The west and northwest can raise corn and bacon cheaper than the south, and since the south can realize larger profits by growing cotton than corn, it is profitable for her to purchase the bulk of her provisions of tbe west When tbe time comes that all can pay cash for everything purchased, we presume no one will object; until then, those who advise the south to raise all the corn $ and hogs required for domestic consumption simply because the credit system is more costly than the cash system, exhibit such a want of informationas to what is besfor the south, that to be governed by their advice'would lead to such seri ous business complications that the only 4 remedy would be to go back to first principles that is to say, raise cotton, rice and sugar, and purchase corn and bacon of the west, for cash or credit, as low as possble. Mr. A. Barth, the tanner, who occupies the ground formerly used by the is ew Albany glass works, is one of thce kind of men calculated to increase the wealth of any place ho may locate at. He came to New Albany in lJW3and commenced the business of tannery with only four men. Now he has a force of 24 men engaged, and tans nearly 10,000 hides per annum, with an averS9 value of p per hide.
