THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, "WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 7, 1878

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7 Did Noyes commit perjury before the Potter committee? Some things look that way. The distinguished conspirator may have to come home again. . The Lafayette Courier is jubihmt. It is of the opinion that a change of one vote in each township in the state will obliterate the majority, which made the Hon. James D Williams governor. Possibly, and your party, on the Louisiana -plan, ought to get that one vote. Esoliph laborers in their own country eat but little meat, rarely haying it upon their tables more than once or twice a week. The eaxl of Shaftesbury, who has given the subject careful attention and investigation, has declared that nothing can be more Injurious to this class than this practice, and he advocates the eating of more flesh and the necessity of learning how to cook it more profitably and better. Thk campaign in Marion county will be opened next Monday night by the Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks, who will address his constituents at the Metropolitan. The mere announcement of the event will be sufficient to insure an immense attendance. And upon the conclusion of his speech the republicans-will have arguments enough to answer to keep them engaged until the sec ond Tuesday in October. Thk Chicago Times devoted a large share of its editorial space on Tuesday to Senator Voorhees' great speech at South Bend. Its dirt indicates its swinish proclivities, and the odor of the entire article establishes its position as the polecat of western jonrnalism. The Times' article is a mass of puerile bosh, and evidences the utter incapacity of the writer to comprehend any of the issues which Senator Voorhees presented.- Its blackguardism smacks of the brothel, and the only success achieved is to confirm the reputation of the Times as destitute of any idea of honorable criticism. Advices show that in the city of New York there Were, during the month of July, sixtyseven failures, with liabilities amounting to $5,738,171, an increase over June. " During the month of July we were told almost daily that John Sherman had practically accomplished resumption, and that the business outlook was more cheerful and assuring. New York is the great money center of the continent. It imports and exports fully two-thirds of all the merchandise of commerce; still, when money is plenty and cheap and business more active than in any other city in the country, business failures are increasing. The virus of the radical financial policy has laid hold upon the very vitals of business everywhere, and a change' must be had. It is gratifying to know that the labor troubles In Washington, city have subsided. It seems that the government may now grind the faces of the poor laborer to any extent it pleases. It should be remembered that at 75 cents a day a poor man with a wife and, say one child, can not live in Washington city. Three persons eating three times a day will, have to economize so that each meal shall not cost but a fraction more than seven cents, and at this there will be nothing left for fuel, light house rent, doctor's bill, coffin, winding sheet and a grave. Zounds! what a government that compels laboring men to work at wages that simply prolong the pangs of hunger until death gently steps in and ends the suffering. Such is ra'calism that steals millions from the revenues annually, and then points to walking skeletons as an evidence of its economy. Thk worltlngmen of Indiana have no worse enemy athan Senator Voorhees. He is advocating a policy wbich, it successful, would decrease the purchasing power of a day's wages and increase the price of every necessary of life. Journal. QThe radical party has legislated against workingmen to an extent that millions of them have no "day's wages" at alL Thousands and tens of thousands of them could not purchase a sack of flour or a peck of potatoes if they were offered for a nickel or a copper cent Senator Voorhees advocates a policy that will give the peOple wages. The purchasing power of the wages may be discussed while devouring a good square meal. The radical organs love to dwell on the "pur'chasing power" of the dollar, but starving people would prefer flour at $10 a barrel if ' they have the money to purchase it rather than at 10 cents per barrel if entirely destitute of money. Working people understand the Journal and its friendship since July, 1877. : The peoDle of Indiana are waking up to the fact that Senator Voorhees Is a demagogue of the most pronounced type. His glaring mis statement oi iaci, nut wna and pernicious theories of finance, his flimsy sophistries and false conclusions are beginning to be under stood and rated at their proper worth. At the very time when good crop, returning confidence, and the near resumption of specie pay ments are giving assurance that the wont of our nnanciai trouDies are past, ne is perambulating the state and howling In favor of Infla tion, willing to unsettle tbe foundations of business again, if by that means he can be re elected senator. The people want repose more man ioey uo v oorneea. Journal. Really we have a fondness for this sort of talk. Senator Vorhees made a speech at South Bend a few days since for which tbe demand has been very large and still con tinues. Not a single radical organ that has alluded to it has attempted any refutation of the eloquent senator's massive arguments. He did not misstate a solitary fact, nor has any misstatement been shown. His theo ries of finance are the theories of seventy five per cent of the American peop e. Tbe more Senator Vorhees speaks the more patiently do the people listen, and the more earnestly do they ponder his utterances. We have had good crops for fifteen years, An immense surplus every year. Btill radi calism b iti legislation has inaugurated an era of unprecedented destitution. We may Lave reached specie payments nobody knows but admitting the statement, it has cost the people by shrinkage of values grow ing out of contraction more than $3,000,000, 000, more than .00,000 failures, and thrown upon the country a vast army of idlers. These things have unsettled the foundations of business, and Senator Voorhees makes Jht act appear, beyond ail contio

versy. The people do not hanker after that kind of ' "repose" that comes from radical strychnine or Shylock opiates. They prefer agitation and instigation until bottom facts are brought to the surface and radicalism, stripped of its drapery of lies, stands in all of its naked hideousness before the people. Evidently the people want more of Senator Voorhee. It is probably well known that Noye s is out of the country,tlse he might be compelled to answer to a charge of perjury. 'The Atlanta Constitution makes a plain ca.se, as follows: When Noes wax before the Potter committee he swore positively that he had never been cloeted with Stearns and the republican mem bers of the returning board of Florida. This denial was made in rebuttal of a statement made by Judze William Archer Cocke. We referred the other dy to Judge CocltVs letter in which he said that tie wm ready to go before the committee and prove that Noyes had lied. Mr. Rlppey has already sustained Judge Cocke' ntatemeut, nod now tbe editor of the Albany Advertiser, who was stationed at Tallahassedunng the count as a newspaper corresponded t,comes forward with his testimony, which in that f an -eyewitness. Mr. Mcintosh, tne editor alluded to, called upon Judge Cocke at the state house oue morning for the purpose of obtaining a ticket ofadraiHsion to the deliberations of thereturning board. He found the J ad tie pacing the floor In front of the office of McLln, the secretary of state. In response to an Inquiry Judge Cocke told Mr. Mcl ntosh that McLln aud CowKill had locked him out. He appeared to be much excited. Shortly afterward, while the Judge and tbe newsnnper correspondent were talking In the hall, McLln'n door opened and Noyes and Stearns came walking out together. Now, tub in the testimony of an eyewitness a gentlemau who was compelled by the duties of his profession to know Noyes at least by sight. With the case thus plainly stated Noyes bad the audacity to ask of the Potter committee to give him a certificate of character. The devil himself could not have exceeded the brazen impudence of the demand.

"As the key-note of the campaign it is a trumpet blast that will arouse the people of the state, and command the attention of thinking men of all political parties. From the opening sentence to the last It is worthy of the exalted abilities of the speaker. The Issues are fairly stated, and the lines arediawn with the vividness of lightning. The arguments are massive throughout." Indianapolis Sentinel. We suppose it Is the regular thing to say tills, bat there Isn't an argument in the speech, and on all important questions it is absolutely Incoherent. Begin with the dreadful staff about the assessment of office holders. Mr. Voorhees Is a member of the democratic party we believe. Does not the democratic party asses ofllce holders? Did It ever fail to UutetM tliem when it hod a chance? Then he roars at the republicans about their large expenditures of cheap dollars, and he proposes to make dollars cheaper than ever, and to give the democracy a chance to expend them. Does he think for a moment of ociating economy with an overflowing "adequacy" of full legal tender paper? The empty howl atout contraction, and the unconscious blowing of Sou.h sea bubbles, with the "trumpet blast" of eloquence, furnish poor entertainment to those who seek knowledge. Cincinnaii Commercial. In the above we have the gist of the Commercial's review of Senator Voorhees' great speech at South Bend, orders for which are pouring in upon us, asking for hundreds and thousands. The Commercial tries to be sarcastict but it fails. It essays denunciation, but its invective is about as damaging as paper pellets thrown by infants. Senator Voorhees' speech goes crashing through radicalism like chain shot, demol ishing its refuge of lies and making the leaders and organs howl like wild beasts in a fire. Indiana listens to Voorhees. The country has learned to respect and admire his outspoken exposure of radical rascality, and from this time until the day of election the radical organs will hear of his success in dragging the radical party before the people and in lashing its leaders till they howl like Virginia sneak thieves at the whipping po3t. LABOR AMD MOSEY. A new party movement was inevitable, and the national or labor party owes its existence to the provocations of the government and of capitalists. It is the result of a concerted pol icy to protect capital at thei-xpenseof labor. During the last fifteen or eighteen years labor has been onerously taxed, while capital was exempt. This exemption of the capitalists lias especially applied to the owners of govern ment bonus, tne reason given lor exempting them at the outset Iteing to Induce capital to invest. .Never was any nope more lutne. cap italists refused to buy bonds until gold was so high that the bonds which bear interest at par could be had for 50 per cent, of their present value. In all these years congress has shown no sympathy with labor, and when legislating at all has uniformly legislated in favor of cap ital, rue immense grants or iana to raiiroaus is an illustration of this, although a large part of the public domain was given away to corporations which could have had no existence bat for the bounty of the government. 1 can not recall a single instance where a grant contained a provision to enable poor people anxious to settle in the fur west to get over the roads free. The repeal of the duty on tea and coffee was another unwise and oppressive measure, because it did not make either or these articles cheaper, while the duty went to the producer iustead of the treasury. In reply to a question as to what lie thought of the permanence of trie hew party be said : "It will be a spasmodic. Irregular, impulsive and adventurous movement. In some of its phases it will be very objectionable, for not only will self-seeking politicians fasten themselves uion It, but it will give birth to many w I 1j 1 find i m nrai-t tu ltla huAvlAfl vh iiih ma r work harm. Nevertheless, it will workout Its mission, and unless the secretary of the treasury, who has gone to work wisely and beneficently to accomplish resumption, completely succeeds and achieves both resumption and prosperity, the new party will be largely represented in the next congress and be able to control the next presidential election." Thurlow Weed In the New York Herald. The most exhaustive statisticians, statesmen of the most profound erudition, philanthropists who make the condition of society their study, and political economists who correctly estimate the forces that advance or retard progress; these, all combined, have been unable and will forever be incapable of demonstrating the extent of the injuries inflicted upon the country by the supremacy of. the radical party. All the curses of Jehovah, all the crime! known to civilized society, all the plagues that have crawled forth from their leprous wombs of vice, ignorance, superstition, and fanaticism, massed and grouped, have not been able to set in operation so many forces of peril to the country as the radical party is shown to have done since it came into power. We challenge the record. We invite the most exhaustive analysis of the history of the lying, thieving, perjury purchasing and debauching party, from first to last. Every page is black as hell with crime. Every line is a hissing lie. Every act is a bludgeon blow at constitution, law and liberty. As a result, what? Universal demoralization and organized rascality. Every pathway the radical party has traveled is knee deep in the slime of its rotteness. Every profession it has made of regard for the right has been to coyer up from public view quickening crimes to be born in due time for tbe promotion of pome deep laid scheme of peril to the liberties of the country. Are millions of people out of employment? Radicalism, by its Shylock financial policy, inflicted the curse of Idle' ness. Are these millions ot Idlers in deep necessity for food in the presence of fabulous Dlentvf Radicalism br its fiat compelled willing handj to Jung Idle at the rids ot

willing workers, while gazing upon overflowing granaries and wondering at the infinite beneficence of Him who hangs the bow upon the cloud declaring His covenant that seed time and harvest should never fail. It is declared authoritatively that millions of money lie idle in bank vaults. Is it inquired why,' in a country of boundless undeveloped resources, money hides away under lock and key? The answer is that radi calism has exiled confidence, and only a few owners of money dare invest it in any of the industries that, previous to tbe reign of radicalism, made this ocean girt republic a hive of industry from center to circumference. We are told that on tbe highways and byways of the country large numbers of. men known as tramps are found the enemies of society, and more dangerous to the peace of communities than the brigands of Italy or the savages on the frontier. Why does this anomalous condition of society exist? There is but one answer: Tramps were unknown to the country prior to the panic of '73, brought about by the curse of contraction which shook down and overturned the industries and the business of the country, and drove men from the paths of virtue into the highways of crime. The tramp curse is one of the litter of scourges that radicalism, in the wealth of its iniquity, has bequeathed to the country. We are told there is a third party, made up of all the "vicious elements of society, commun'ists, socialists and strikers." That "this party threatens the foundations of 'society;" that "its hand is .raised 'against law and order and property;" that it is "marshaling its forces 'to inaugurate anarchy and a reign of blood." Thurlow Weed, a man of great experience, whose words carry conviction, says that this "new party movement" was made "inevitable" by tbe infamous legislation of the radical party "during the last fifteen 'years" in which capital as been sedulously guarded and labor disregarded. The statistics show that crime is deplorably on the increase. Jails, reformatories and penitentiaries overflow with criminals of every grade. Why is this terrible phase of the situation added to all tbe rest of the intolerable curses which bow the people with unutterable anxiety and humiliation? It grows out of the fact that radicalism, which, as Thurlow Weed says, "has shown no sympathy with labor;" on the contrary, "when legislating stall, it hasuni 'formly legislated in favor of capital." As a consequence thousands and tens of thouands unable to obtain work and wages have drifted into the criminal classes, and are now preying upon society or lounging within prison walls. With such surrounding capitalists put their money in four percent, bonds rather than in enterprises that employ labor. Point a man with mouey to a factory where the machinery has been hushed by the curse of radicalism, and ask him to set it in motion, and he tells you it is a business coffin in which more that one man has been stretched out dead in his rags, and points to the business cemeteries of the country, where more than (iO.OOO registered dead men repose, struck down by the radical financial policy. Ah! yes; there is money, but it is inert. It dare not move. There are willing workers idle. It is the policy of the democratic party to vitalize money, and thus set men and women to work. It is the purpose of the people to exile the radical party from power, and enthrone tbe democratic party. It L In purpose of the people to remedy, as ir m possible, the curse of radicalism, aud usher in an era of honesty and prosperity. Every reasonable demand of the national party is fully and squarely met by the dem

ocratic party, which is moving on to victory. Those who do not see it are blind; those who do not admit it would look at the sun until it had burned out their eyes, and still declare that the existence of such au orb is a fallacy. ' GENERAL T09I. BROWNE. This distinguished liatulentist b said to have opened the campaign, or, as the Journal puts it, "opened the ball," at Winchester on last Saturday. It must bavc been a tremendous opening if General Tom's mouth is alone considered. But Browne's mouth and the campaign are not one and the same thing. General Tom can talk, but no one gives him the credit of siying anything oi importance. He has a great ' deal of wind, but he can't give it the twist of a cyclone. It doesn't tear up things, nor knock down things, nor raise a political dust on the highways of the cam paign. 1 General Tom's Winchester speech was a jno8t lame, impotent and puerile at tempt to review the legislation of the Fortyfifth congress. The effort does not, rise to the dignity, of a "high Bchool" essay by Miss Fann:e or Miss Susie. General Tom went off on the "southern war claims" hobby. The ' figures were piled up in regular cob house style, and when completed General Tom contemplated the work with car-pet-baggish fervor and idiotic gush.' General Tom puts the entire southern claim bugaboo at $2,194,172,110, and asks the north to stand from under, to Ret out of the way, to look out for breakers, for this vast sum is to be paid forthwith. Still after such a vast parade of figures the general gets down to the claim of one Mrs. Eliza Heber, who would like to have $17,975 for corn and sundry other ' articlts taken from her by one General Payne. But the $2,194,172,110 is not all. General Tom sees more claims in the dim distance claims piled upon claims, rising one above another like Alpine peaks, all of which, should they be paid, would require the surplus revenues of the 'tountry for a thousand years, and leave no margin for radical stealings. General Tom says: "We are expected to give 'the south $50,000,000 by the Mexican war pension bill; and $00,000,000 in subsidies to 'a Southern Pacific railroad, and perhaps '$100,000,000 to the Mississippi levees. These 'dangers threaten us, and our only safety is 'in keeping the house of representatives in 'the hands of men who will resist these de'mands until the 'last syllable of recorded 'time.'" These figures are strictly in keeping with the entire demogogical review of the legislation of the Forty-fifth congress by General Tom Browne. Tho Mexican war pensions is not a southern question. A great many northern people were in the Mexican war, which resulted In jiving to tho

country a vast western empire a very profit able one to the country. The southern Pacific railroad is regarded by thousands of northern people as a great national work, as much so as the ' northern Pacific railroad, calculated to develop the resources of the country and add to its wealth; and the Mississippi levee question is also regarded by statesmen, Forth as well as south, as of great national importance, as tbe levees would rescue millions of acres of the best land in the country from annual submersions and indefinitely increase the production of southern staples, and in this way add vastly to the resources of the country. General Tom can't see these things. He is too short sighted, too much of a narrow minded fanatic It is nonsense to talk about Tom Browne opening a campaign. He does not comprehend the issues of the campaign, and If General Tom is the best the radicals can trot out, it is safe to say that the campaign will never be opened by the radicals.

THE JOURNAL AND THE REV. MR. IE L.A 91 ATI" R. It so happens that the Rev. Mr. De La Matyr has been called upon by the nationals to make the race for congress in this district against the Hon. John Hanna. Mr. De La Matyr is a gentleman of commanding abilities and of unsullied character, and for many years a successful and inlluential clergyman ' in the Methodist Episcopal church. In saying this we can not be charged with eulogy or panegyric the simple truth and nothing more. Tbe Journal, in its blind zeal to advance the interests of the radical party, of which it is a weak and vapid organ, omits no opportunity to besmear its opponents with tbe nastiness of its salival secretions, and true to its instincts has sought to add to its infamous reputation by directing its scurrility at Mr. De La Matyr. As might have been expected, its attacks upon the candidate of the nationals for congress has aroused the Indignation of the better class of the radical party, as the following communication very emphatically demonstrates: To tbe Editor of the Sentinel: I have carefully read the article in the Journal of the anii, hefided the Rev. Mr. De La Matyr. I wish to say that I have been a republican voter ever since the organisation of the party to the present. 1 feel it my duty to publicly denounca the spirit and character of said article. It could have never originated from any source but th very depths of corruption. It is a plain demonstration thai if any man of pure morals would accept an office of trust In any party except tbe republican the Journal would seek to besmear his character. The mean and vile attack upon the Rev. De Ia Matyr by the exponent of the republican party should be severely criticised by every Christian man. Four old staunch republicans declared to me that if the republican party in 18 years have so corrupted politics, as set forth by the Journal, that an honorable Christian man can not accept an office or trust without the loss ot his good character, they will never vote the republican ticket again. I was a voter In Marion county for many years, labored to advance the interest of the old whig party ami the republican party, a warm friend of General Coburn.aud have many friends in that congressional district, which I expect to vixlt and do what I can Tor the election of the Rev. De La Matyr, knowing him to be tne very exponent of virtue and morals, and certainly it there ever was a time when our country needed good men it is now. If we had no other Index the article before us is sufficient, and In conclusion would say 1 unequivocally denounce my allegiance to the republican party, believing it to be corrupt and unworthy of patronage. By a Republican is the Dav ok its Honor. The ribald article to which the writer of the above communication takes exception reads as follows: The Rev. Mr. De La Matyr has formally ac cepted the nomination of the nationals for representative in congress iroiu tnis district. His action is a surprise to his best friends, and Is difficult to account for by ordinary considerations. It Is always a step of doubtful wisdom for a man to leave his chosen profession for anew and strange one. It is st ill less wise for a man to sacrifice an assured position for an uncertainty, imi to surrender a nxeo ana honorable position in the highest of all professions for the empty compliment of a nomination from a weak political faction to voluntarily leave the pulpit and abandon Its sacred duties to dabble in the dirty pool of politics, aud to i3su:ne tbe leadership of a movement composed of bankrupts, soreheads, malcontents and communists, justlties the belief that there is a screw loose in the gentleman's moral structure. For Dr. De La Matyr personally the Journal entertains only kind feelings, and in his proper sphere respects him. Rut when he abandons the profession where he has made his reputation to become the representative of inflation, repudiation and communism, and to lead In the attack upon the rights of property, he voluntarily relinquishes his previous claims to respect and places himself on an equality with tne Bhuies, the Kearneys, the Brick Fomeroys, and other leaders of the same movement. To be elected to ofllce by such a movement would be disgrace enough, but to be overwhelmingly defeated, as Dr. De La Matyr is sure to be. will add tbe mortification of failure to the blunder of his candidacy, lie has made the greatest mistake of his life, and one which must seriously Impair his future usefulness. The great mass of right thinking men of all parties will feel justly indignant that such insulting language should be directed at a gentleman of Mr. Da La Matyr's standing simply because in the exercise of his judgment be has concluded to accept the nomination for an office of great responsibility at a time when honest men for the position are imperatively demanded by every consideration of patriotic regard for the welfare ot the country. TUB REWARDS OF FRAUD, FOR. GERY AND PERJURY. The attention of the people is called to the rewards that Hayes has bestowed upon the infamous gang of conspirators, forgers and perjurers, who, n Louisiana and Florida, helped him into office. Of the fifty-five scoundrels, aiders and abettors we give the names of forty-two who have earned an immortality of infamy besides the federal offices which the vile wretch who now plays president has bestowed. Visiting statesmen John Sherman, cabinet: btoughton, minister; Karson, minister; Noyes. Minister ; Harlan, Judge ; liawley, Paris commissioner. Members returning board Keuer and Cassanave's brothers, storekeepers; Wells, surveyor; Anderson, deputy collector of customs; Kenner, deputy naval officer. Returning board subordinates Campbell, district attorney, Dakota: Hid, custom house dtorekeeper; Green and Abel, custom house clerks; Woodward, surveyor's clerk. Hayes electors Market, internal revenue collector; Brewster, surveyor general; Levissee. revenue messenger; Humphreys, collector. Klectlon supervisors (lover and Hlestand, custom house clerks; George L. Smith (who manipulated returns of nine parishes), collector of t ieport of New Orleans; leaner and Chief of Police Badger (who have been appointed since Keiloxg testified), appraiser and postmaster; Kellogg and Packard (governor who kept the peace and governoi -elect if Hares was elected), senator and consul. Florida manipulators Governor Htearns, commissioner; McLln, chief Justice; Dennis, architect; Cessna, postmaster; Clerk Black. Vance and Howell in post and treasury, and Judge Bell, timber agent. Miscellaneous Clark, in the treasury; Campbell, United BtaUiH district attorney; Ives, custom clerk: Varnnro, receiver; Maxwell, lieutenant in the army; Phelps, commissioner to Paris; Bowles, In the treasury; Taylor, land omoe. Each of tho persons named played some part, more or less conspicuous, in concocting and in carrying out the atrocious fraud by virtue of wbich the will of the American

people was reversed. To suppose that Hayes was not cognizant of their doings from first

to last Is a stretch of generosity in which few indulge, and the number is growing less every day. The astounding facts should be kept constantly before the people, and in' due time every miscreant named, including Hayes, will receive tha full measure of con demnation they so richly deserve. HAYES' LETTER, The letter wbich Sherman introduced to exonorate Hayes from all complicity in the Louisiana frauds is altogether too gushy. It is dated November 27, 1876, at a time when John Sherman and other visiting statesmen were moving as much of the devil's dominions as possible to count Hayes in and Tilden out. John Sherman at the time was corresponding with Hayes for the purpose of letting him know just what infernal villainies were necessary to count him in and just what rewards he would be required to bestow upon such perjured miscreants as he (Sherman) could persuade to "stand firm" by their forgeries and perjur. ies. Tbe point was evidently discussed that at this supreme moment of rascality Hayes mast write such a letter as would indicate a lofty disregard for the office of president and explode a patriotic exhortation In favor of honesty. Such a letter, should circumstances require It, could be put in evidence to show that nothing but fair dealing must be thought of; and Hayes is therefore credited with saying in a letter to Sherman: But we are not to allow our friends to defeat one outrage and fraud by another. There must be nothing crooked on our part. Let Mr. Tilden have the place by violence, intimidation and fraud, rather than undertake to prevent it by means that will not bear the severest scrutiny. I appreciate the work doing by the republicans who have gone south, and am especially proud of the acknowledged honorable conduct of those from Ohio. In commenting upon this phase of the subject, the Baltimore Gazette remarks: Now consider these sugary sentences by the light of to whom they were addressed, when, and what was going on at the time, and what has been done since. The visiting statesmen were shrewd, unscrupulous men, who, with expectation of reward, went to Louisiana to count Hayes in. They refused to confer with the democrats for the purpose or seeing an honest count. They c hattered and bargained with the Louisiana thieves. They promised rewards to thoe who committed perjury and forgery to count Hayett in. Then they came back and each one received his reward, onoe high and lucrative office. Having gotten in themselves, they threw Packard overboard, who had received a lar?er vote than Hayes, in pursuance oi another Imrgain. 'Special cases" were made of carpet biggers who threatened to blab. Bargain, bargain, bargain, fraud, deceit, rascality, forgery, perjury and treachery, whichever way the administration turns all is rotten. The thing is shameful enough without the lollipop and sniveling hypocrisy which they seek to cover it up with. "Let Mr. Tilden have the place by violence. Intimidation and fraud, rather than uncertake to prevent it by means that will not t?ar the severest scrutiny." Let us prey. The letter, provided such a letter was written at the time designated, which very few believe, was for the very purpose for which it was used. John Sherman and the rest of the conspirators had reasons for believing that their nefarious work would be ''overhauled," in which case sqch a letter could be used with jowerful effect, and it was made to order. The whole thing looks bOd on the face, and nothing could be worse for Hayes in the present dilapidated condi' tion of Sherman's veracity than to have it shoved in the face of the people by that notorious conspirator. THE FREED 51 AX'S BASK. The colored voters of Indiana are awakening from the condition of subserviency to the republican party, in which they have been but little better than slaves since the passage of the constitutional amendments giving them the right of suffrage. They are beginning to ascertain that the promises of friendship tendered by republican leaders are nothing but oft repeated lies. They are asking themselves, Have the republicans been our friends in fact, or have we been made use of as tools only for their advantage? " To the first query their ready answer is "No!" To the second, "Only that 'and nothing more!" If no other proof were available, we would have only to adductt the facts concerning the Freed man's bank to show how little the republican party, in power, have cared to keep the promises made to the ' negro, and how utterly false have been their protestation s.of friendship for their colored adherents. The Freedman's bank was established by congress, under the solemn promise that if the colored people would deposit their savings therein, no opportunity should be afforded the managers of the bank to use the deposits In any hazardous way, and that all the power of the government should be exercised to make the bank as strong aud safe as the United States treasury itself. Under this guaranty the freedmen of the south became thrifty, and soon their deposits reached a sum exceeding four millions of dollars. Five years ago the bank collapsed its funds had been unlawfully used, squandered, lent to political ringmasters, stolen, until at the time of its failure it held about $800,000 of real assets ajalnst about $3,500,0)0 of liabilities. There cemmissioners were appointed at $3,000 per annum each to wind up the concern. Their compensation, with their clerks, attorneys, etc , has aggregated $250,000. They have paid to depositors a little over $500,000. The best of the assets have been realized upon. The bank now owes nearly $3,000,000, and the remaining assets have a nominal value of $300,000 to $400,000, about enough to pay expenses three or four years longer, and enable the declaration of a final dividend of perhaps three per cent Damnable and heartless as the swindle was, its whole history is but a repetition in kind of the means by which the republican party have inveigled the colored people into its support for the past thirteen years. The end is coming. The colored voters will no longer be fooled. TLey will, when pointed to as the tried adherer-ts of radicali&u, reply: "Indeed we have been, but we have learned 'how faithless republicans are to all except 'their party leaders, how they have lied to 'us, and hereafter we shall cast our fortunes 'where we have a bore that no more Freed'man's bank swindles will be inflicted on our race." Most strenuous efforts are being made in Austria to ruin the sale of hams sent to that country from the United States. The people generally haye shown a marked preference ior this meat, and good trade has been gradually built up. To stop this has been the aim of several interested parties, and they went to work eryingenitosly to Ac

complish their object. Great fear of the trichinae exists all throagh Austria, and several epidemics that have spread over the country have been charged to the consumption of hams infected with the worms. -Advantage of f this was taken by Professor Heschl, ot the Vienna university, who has written a public letter and bad it widely circulated, in wbich he asserts "that while of 'Westphalia hams only one out of two thousand contained trichinre, of Americanjhams -'one out of every five or ten is infected.' Basing their action upon this declaration, the city council of Vienna at once petitioned the government asking tbat the importation

oi American Dams and sausages be prohibit- . ed. They include also in their petition the farther remarks of the professor, "that in 'America hogs are fed with the refuse of tbe 'great slaughtering houses, whereby tri- f china; are propagated. In Germany one 'hog in ten thousand has trichina, while of 'hams and bacon from America 2)i to 5 per 'cent, contain trichinre." Immediately on learning of the wide circulation ot the letter and the petition, Mr. P. 8. Post, the United States consul general at Vienna, requested Professor Heschl to authenticate these statements. This he could not do, as he had used for the foundation of his arguments 1 some German reports of 1874. But Mr. Tost pressed the matter, and after a careful ex--amination of some hams from the United States he was compelled to admit the absence of trichime and the soundness and purity of the meat. Mr. Post however asks that some proper and thorough means be taken to convince the people of Vienna and Austria of the falseness of the professor's report, and to re-establish their confidence in hams sent from America.

All that is required is that democrats shall stand by their principles, put none but men of tried integrity on duty, aud as election days come victory will flash along the democratic lines. rEBSOXALITlEN. Beaconsfield gets only the garter. We thought he was to have the whole widow. If Mrs. Til ton lectures, concludes the Inter-Ocean, her audiences even will wish they were dead. Bees can no longer be sent ' through the malls. Only reason given by the government is because. A western base ball club has a player named Buckwheat. He is said to make an excellent batter. These days, says the Rochester Democrat, could very profitably be worked into piecrust they are shortening. Richfield springs, and the place has "an ancient and fish like smell." See how the busy little bee improves each' shining minute, how gayly lights he on your nose and sucks his stinger in it. Virginia wants the whipping post. There is no doubt it is sadly enough needed in many states where it is not wanted. We love to lie beneath the shade and quaff the cooling lemonade, and alo feel the cheerful ants crawl slowly up our sum- h. mer pants. Gllmore's advance agent is a long way in advance of the band with $500 in his pocket that don't belong to him. The band has broken up. Beaconsfield calls Mr. Gladstone "a sophis tical rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of bis own verbosity and egotistical imagination." A correspondent of tbe Washington Post says it is as good as a circus to see General Burnside, Kiskiminitas White, the Bounding Banning, General M. C. Butler and WayneMcVeagh tearing along through the mazes of. a YfrgiaJa reel at the White Sulphur,
