WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 18. Th real troub'.e with the radical conspirators ia that they caa not control southern Elections with carpet-baggers and troops. ; The New York Evening Tost is of the opinion that Blaine is at least ten years behind time in his effort to resubj agate the south. ' It is gratifying to notice that some of the leading radical organs of the country do not hesitate to say that Blaine, in his attempt to renew sectional animosities, has made a political mistake. This is the view the New York Times takes of the subject, and expresses the opinion that unless Blaine is aquelched by the eommon sense of the party i radicalism will be seriously damaged in 1880. Mr. Blaiks wants thorough Investigations Into election outrages. Democrats do not object, .If the proceedings include all the outrages. Mr. Thurroan informs the senate that he desires the investigating committee to inquire whether employes anywhere had been intimidated by their employers in the recent elections; whether federal office holders had been assessed for political purposes, and if so, what had been Clone with the money; also that the committee ccrutiniz the behavior of federal election officers. If Blaine's resolutions are amended so as to Include Jlr. Thurman's views democrats will go into the investigation without a murmur of disapproval. Tub Indian territory has a wild pigeon roost, extending over forty acres of timber land. The Joplin News states that "the Indians who own the land will not permit 'other parties to take advantage of the game, but hire men, who sit at the roots of trees 'and shoot and throw clubs all night, and 'the next morning the ground is literally 'covered with pigeons, and they are gathered 'up, loaded into wagons and hauled to this city, where the Indians realize from 10 to 25 cents per dozen for them. During the 'day only now and then a pigeon caa be . "seen in the vicinity of the roost, but they 'invariably return at night. Those who own 'the land say they have killed dozens of 'wagon loads this fall, and still the number 'does not seem to dimmish In the least, nor 'does the nightly slaughter seem to intimidate them." x he democratic nouse oi representatives is till engaged in the good work of retrench- . & YT? f l! 1 1 A . 1 ! wm . . ? 1 . A a I meuw- e reier particularly iu tuning down the salaries of ministers to foreign courts. It has reduced the salaries of min iaters to Great Britain, France, Germany and Russia from $17,500 to $15,000 each; those of ministers to Austria, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Japan and China from $12,000 to $10,000; those of rainMeri to Chili and Peru from $10,000 to $S,000. It refused any provisions whatever for ministers to Belgium and the Netherlands; and also rejected Mr. Evarta' request for a charge t d'aflairs at Athens, with $5,000 salary, but consented to a consul general at half that amount. Final . ly, it made several changes in consular salaries, some up arard and some downward, in mrrrrA a n ra with rhanffAiln (hakniina&QAnA t the ports. In all of this no American interest is compromised. The ministerial gentlemen are purely ornamental. The rights of American citizens and the advancement of commercial interests are chiefly in the hands of American consuls, and since foreign ministers are of little, if any, service to the country their salaries should be still further reduced. It is more than probable that the radical senate will object to the reductions proposed by the democratic house, in which case it will be interesting to note which body will back down. L1WTEKS AND LEGISLATION. There seems to be a growlDg antagonism to lawyers as a predominating class in congress and in state legislatures. The war against lawyers as legislators has been for some time past carried on vigorously by the Sew York Graphic, and, it occurs to us, with more teal than prudence. There are a variety of reasons why lawyers aa a class are specially prepared for the work of legislation which can not be urged with equal force in favor of any other class of citizens. .The legislative departments of the state and federal governments are the law-making departments, and while it may not be necessary for lawyers to largely- predominate over other callings and professions in legislation, it is evidently the part of wisdom to have men of the legal profession of marked ability in sufficient force in legislatures as to avoid the enactment of laws as shall not be in violation of the organic, laws, and that shall fully protect citizens in all of their rights. "We are not of tin number who believe that lawyers have a divine right to rule, or that they excel others in intellectual capacity or patriotic devotion to the welfare of the people; but as a general proposition they are more ready in debate and quicker to perceive the defects of 'a bilL Such matters .belong to their profession, and hence their value as legislators. It occurs to us that the difficulty is not ao much in the fact that there are a great many lawyers in congress and state legisla- . tures, as ia the the fact that the people are not always careful to elect men of the highest If gal attainments and this objection, in its sweep, applies with equal force to other callings. The law making departments of the governments, state and federal, should command the best ability of the country, and this done, it does not matter so much whether the members are lawyers or farmers, doctors or merchants, mechanics or gentlemen of leisure. The Graphic claims that In no other country Is the same prominence conceded . to lawyers as in the United States. It points out that I in t! a United States senate there m p. 'tr.rtw-Mirt linin and nnlv in-ftnttr 'one senators of all other professions. In the bouse it is nearly as bad. There are 223 lawyers, and only 70 members who are not 'lawyers. More than three-fourths of the 'whole are lawyers! Delaware, Minnesota 'and Nebraska stand quite alone without lawyers in the house, but they have only . 'live members between them, while Mich igan presents a' platoon of nine lawyers, 'Mississippi six and .Maine fife, without any

MUUtenuoa lima V um iMrUjuvuii m imr

'bams, North Carolina and Wisconsin have 'each seven lawyers,- and only . one other member; and Illinois has a solid phalanx of 'seventeen lawyers and only two members 'from all other occupations. Pennsylvania has twenty lawyers and seven of other professions." And in commenting upon the subject says: t : Wbat we do insist ea just now is that there are four times on many lawyers in oftice in this country as there should be. It ia tne busine of lawyers to help Interpret the law, and they obtain their largest fees from the obscurities and contradictions of law. Will they be anxious to make the statutes clearer, mure straightforward, more explicit? It la as If a wealthy lather would say to one of his boys: "Here, mate ray wul to suit yourself." Would the other children approve olsucuan arrangement, aud would they be likely to elect the son to the pom Hon of their own accord? The United States la the only country where lawyers form an aristocratic caste in politics. In the British- parliament not more than onetenth are lawyers, the occupations which lead being country 'ho, u Ires, or the landed farmers, military men, bankers and the railroad Interests. 1'arllament lawyers are of very lltUe account. The leaders are men i like Disraeli and - Uladstone, who know what laws the people want, - and see that they get them. In the French assembly the same interests are paramount, with, a larger installment of literary men and artists. Iu Germany the same principle prevails lawyers are nowhere. It U enly In brow beaten and bankrupt Italy that lawyers come to the front again, and obtain the supreme opportunlty to liocu poena and bedevil the laws which they are paid to Interpret, There ought to bo some lawyers in every legislative body, but their function should be clerical and technical. Whenever a state places its statutes unreservedly into the hands of men who live by their confusion, the laws qf the state are very likely to be confused. Laws ought to be made chiefly by those who have the largest Interests to protect by farmers, merchants, manufacturer, miners not by tho-te who cola wealth fro.u the quarries of the community in which tney live. Manifestly it is a ra is tike to gauge American legislation by European precedents' since the whole frame work of the governments are essentially different, and we may remark, all things considered. American legislation will compare favorably with that

of any of the European governments referred toby the Graphic. What is wanted iu American legislation is the best men. Inferior abilities, no matter from what profession they are exalted, will give the country a mass of defective laws. The subject is worthy of the profound consideration of the people, for it touches all governments from municipality to the supreme law making power of the country. FAST. PRESENT AND FUIU&3. The world moves. Humanity is rising, darkness is disappearing, and the command "Let there be light" is sounding along the pathways of science and investigation The people of the earth who believe in God are those who carryforward its grandest enterprises and achieve its most enduring triumphs, while men of the Bob Ingersoll echool quibble about the "mistakes of Moses." Those who a.-cept the truths of the Bible as immovable foundations upon which to rear superstructure's ot faith and good works move forward and upward beyond the reach of sneers and rejoice in thfc progress the world is making under their leadership. Oaly Christianity is light; all other religious are darkness. Christianity yitilizes every faculty of body and mind. It makes the rough places smooth and decks the desolate places with gladnetsJ It subdues the wilderness, hews dowc the moun tains, builds the highways of commerce and enlightens the savage. The New York Herald asks, "What is the world coming to?" and responds by saying that "from the printers' 'block has grown the rough wood cut, the 'copper plate, followed by the steel eograv'ing, the lithographic, photo-lithographic 'and photo-engraving processes that enable 'us to produce in a few hours fac-similes 'to any scale of the most elaborately lined 'drawing. By the aid cf the camera we can 'reduce the proportions of the elephant to 'to those of a mouse without distorting a 'line, and enlarge those of microscopic animalculw to the scale of a mammoth with'out disturbing the apparent relations of 'the most minute parts. Nearly seventy 'years ago a strong limbed youth ferried travelers to Staten Island, where they took the old post road leading through 'Elizabeth and New Brunswick to Philadelphia. Recently au old man died worth 'many millions. He owned railroads over 'which passengers were sometimes carried at the rate of a mile par minute. The long 'and weary journey to Philadelphia or Al 'bany had become a matter of two or three 'hours. Yet, the strong limbed youth and 'the old millionaire were one and the same person, and the altered, conditions of Ufa serve but to illustrate the growth of thing within a lifetime." This is well, but there are other triumphs of sublime, significance. During a lite time republics have been founded upon the wrecks of thrones. Men in bondage have been set free. Benevolence has built its monuments on all of the continents. The ignorant have been educated, the blind made to see, the deaf to hear and the lame to walk.' Christianity has lovingly thrown its arms around the insane and given them back their reason. It has built a?ylumns for the unfortunate, and with lavish charity fed the hungry and clothed the naked. ' Within the period of another lige time Asia will be brought under the Influences of Christian' civilization, and Africe, the terra incogniii of the world, will be the theater for the display of Christian courage and endurance. Thus the world moves upward, humanity rises, the soul expands and the millennial era dawns; and still the command is, "Let there be light." ' But surely," says the Herald, "time, the destroyer, will remain supreme. Nothing of human fashioning will survive his av 'aaults. Even the mountains bow their crumbling heads before him and the great 'rivers hide themselves ia his presence. There is nothing so enduring as time, fhe fleeting sounds of the song, of merry tnuic, of sighs and laughter these are the contrasts in endurance to time. They are heard and are dead forever. That might be said before Edison discovered the phonograph. Now sounds 'are fixed for all time in enduting metal. They a e heard, and sleep to awake again 'in a succeasioa of utterances whose sanieneu proves that the cords or words held chained in that metallic prison have be'come immortal in their alliance with the imperishable. Time may be the "great dstroyer," but his corroding tooth will never obscure or obliterate the impressions made by good words and good deeds upon the human heart. Before Ediaoo eaught sounds of the human Toiot upon bis metaliio cylinders, good

words had been made imperishable In the memories of men, and have come sounding through the centuries, to be eaught up and sent on thier mission of love and peace. Time may kill, but there la a power that makes alive. Time may destroy, but there are forces at work which are forever rebuilding. ' There is a resurrecting power in the world that defies time, forever clothing the world in beauty, and forever lifting humanity nearer its Creator.

GEXTBAL MILES ON THE INDIANS. The indications are that Mr. Schurz, secretary of the interior, will have to surrender the control of such tribes of Indians as have shown little Inclination to adopt civilized life and confine his operations to those who have been decimated and subdued. A policy that leads directly to war ought not to be tolerated, and it has been very clearly demonstrated that whatever may have been the Intentions of religions socleties in bringing Indians under the influence of Christianity, very little headway has been made, and Indian outbreaks are becoming more frequent the longer the policy is maintained. The fact is established by the testimony of every army officer whose views upon the subject . have been obtained, and since the a. -my has to do all the fighting, the opinion or officers ought to have weight. The testimony of Gen. Miles in this connection is of interest. In a recent interview at Chicago, he said : The present policy has been in existence twrlve yean. During that time I have been with the Modocs aud Apaches In Anions ; the Cheyenne, Klowas and Oomanches in Indlin Territory aol Texa; the iSloux, iiez Perces and bannocks, aud in this lust outbreak ot the Cneyennes Now, I think a change would avoid all this trouble. Let us try It for three years, say, or five years, and let the interior department retain the semi-clvillzed tribes. The war department might have the rest, say for five years, alter which time, if deemed best, they could be transiened back to the interior department. I think Secretary Scburz is doing ail he can to purify the Indian bureaa, atid strives hard lor an honest administration, but a man in his position is not sure of remaining long, and may be removed at any time; aud it may be if a new man came into powor he would have dittVreut ideas and would not do as well. I pee It stated in some papers that representatives of certain Christian denominations think that under the war department they would not have the same privilege as now. At present the various denominations have the choice of agents for certain posts, each one having a sort of control over the agency assigned to it. Now, this arrangement need not be changed at all. They can find representatives of ail the Christian denominations in the army, but it is a question whether it would beany wiser than to have the divisions of the poat olUce, revenue, or foreign departments so managed. The men in charge of them aie not selected because of their peculiar relUion. There is one thing about an army ofticer; lie would be very quickly court luartialed in cane of any misdemeanor, or he could be tried . by Jury, but It is a hard matter to get a Jury of white men out then that will convict a man for an ofleuse against an Indiaa. Au officer ban a life appointment, which Is worth more to him thuu tne value of any bond, and he is not going to forfeit bis commission for something that will be of little benefit te him, and be sure to bring disgrace. The general thought the army could act as a large police force to watch the Indians to a certain extent, and return stolen property In a manner In which it la not done now. lie would have the Indians scattered somewhat upon reservations and taught. It Is only when they are together in herds that mischief comes, lie did not believe the president's recommendation in regard to forming the Indians into a mounted cavalry force would work well The friendly Indians are good as econt with an army, but dangerous when In large bodies together. The conclusion is evidently correct that the transfer of the Indians to the custody of the army will In no wise interfere with their civilizatioa. On the contrary, if the Indians are taught obedience to authority and made to believe that severe penalties will follow any infraction of the rules laid down, they will be in a better condition to submit to the labor which civilization imposes, and their condition will be much improved for the reception of Christianity, Besides all this the government will be no longer a party to the acts of flagrant injustice committed by its agents. Stealing from the Indians will cease and their respect for its authority will be increased.

Hendricks County Democrat: In asking the members of the house of representa tives to recogoize the democracy of Hendricks and the gallant fipht made in the labt campaign by electing II. B. Lingenfeiter doorkeeper at the next session of the legislature, we feel that we have a right to expect a respectful and favorable consider ation of our request. It is not many years since Hendricks county was the banner county of radicalism, when to vote the dem ocratic ftcltet was to invite assault aad mal treatment. Among the old guard that was faithful'and active at all times in the cause ol democracy no man in the county took a more active part than Mr. LlDgonfelter. He has been foremost in the work of the campaigns in this county; he has at all times given lib erally of his time and means in advancing tne cause oi tee people, and in the last elec tion, as candidate for county treasurer, he came nearer being victorious than any other democrat during the past 20 years, the malority against mm being only a. And we feel confident that but for the liberal use of money by the opposition he would have been elected. Hendricks county to-day is republican by only a few hundred majority, and we feel that by a generous recognition of the services performed by her true and tried democrats, the day is not far distant when she will train along with the counties that roll up a democratic majority at every election. Elect Mr. Lingenfelter doorkeeper of the house, and count on old Hendricks for even a greater gain at the next than at the last election. State Ualverslty. To the Editor of the Sentinel: Sib Every three weeks there are public exercises In the college chapel. On these occasions each clas is represented by two or more members, chosen alphabetically from the roll. In this way the students be gin to address "their fellow citizens" as soon as they enter college. On last Saturday morning the last "public" of this term took place. In order to change to a certain extent the nature of these exercises, instead of having representatives from each class the members of the elrcution class under Profes sor O. W. Hoss gave an entertainment. This c n consists ot that rart of the junior class wb.'b elected elocution instead of German or French. There are twenty-aix of them. all young gentlemen, and good speakers. In order that the "public" would not be too long, ten members were elected to repre sent the class. The representatives were divided into two divisions of six and four respectively. At 9 o'clock the chapel was crowded with students and friends of the institution After the usual morning exercises, at the request of Dr. : Hoss, the . first divi Bion, composed of the following namea gentlemen, iook their ! seats on the rostrum: Mid. Stirman, Owineton. Kr.: D. C. Bunton, Terre Haute: Will Povnter. Salem; J. D. Broadus, Connersville; V. P. Rogers, uiooming'on. Tliey were called on in the order here given. Mr. Stirman,-who declaimed a piece on the acquisition of territory, is spoken cf as having improved about ow per cent, in tte art or speaking by being under the instruction of Professor Ho-a only about lour- months. Mr. Bunton rendered the "American Flag' He was graceful in gesture and position, but affected in delivery. Mr. Poyntur gave us "Liberty and Man." lie has u deep bass voice, and is a very effective speaker. Mr. Rogers gave a good rendering of the "Lay of the Madman," and Mr. Broadus charged exceedingly effectual with the "Light Brigade." A song was then sung, and this division left the rostrum, and, the second, composed of Mr. Voris, Aurora; Mr. Stewart, Richland; Mr. Phil putt, Nashville. Tenn.; Mr. Vandament, Spencer. Time ill not permit us to com ment at length upon the merits of these gentlemen; neither is it necessary. Mr. Foil putt is a minister of more than ordinery reputation foi one of bis age. Mr. Stewart is also a theologian of no 'little merit and' ability. Me?sn, Voris and Vandament are good decamera, and .quitted themselves nobly a v wuuaujcut i o K,wrva utr i upon this occasloa.
