THE INDIAKA STATE SENTINEL. WEDNESDAY . MORNING. JULY 16, 1879.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 18. The crime record grows aa th beat in reases. "

Cleveland O., claims a population of 175,332 year. gain of nearly 10,000 within a The deaths by yellow fever in the South during the prevalence of the scourge in 1S73 amounted to 13,921. New Exglakd has two beet sugar factories It is estimated tbat good beets yield from 12 to 14 per cent of sugar. In- the year 1740 the first shipment of Sea Island cotton was made to 'England, and it was 50 years to the next shipment. The Chicago Tribune politely tells Zach Chandler that in his speech on the silver question he bed, and lied knowingly. Urs. Terrero, daughter of General Rosea, has gained a suit against the Buenos Ayres Government which helped her estate to the extent of $10,000,000. James 6. Goldsmith, tne defaulting city treasurer of Peru, Ind., who skipped out from that city about 10 days since, was arrested yesterday in New York City. The New York Tribune wants General Ewing, of Ohio, to resign his seat in Congress, and because he does not resign, says that it is equivalent to confessing defeat. Not much. It is reported that Tom Young told an interviewing newspaper reporter to "go to h L" Which, we suppose, means to join the Republican party, which is on an excursion to that warm country. Chinese arrivals at San Fraucisco have recently been unusually large. The Celestials having been misinformed with regard to the action of Congress hastened away from the flowry kingdom to the golden shore. Hon. Richard W. Thompson, the fraud's secretary of the navy, is spoken of on the Eastern seaboard as a fresh water clam, a Wabash marine, ' a canal boat barnacle, a tarry-tongued sea lawyer and a Swiss admiral. Air old man, a citizsn of Georgia, aged 75 years, worth $25,000, wanted to marry a widow of 40 years, worth $15,000. A son of the old man, to prevent the marriage, had his father declared insane. A wise judge set aside the lunatic dodge, and the old man is now enjoying bis honeymoon. The Boston Herald says that Rev. Mr. Holman bored Buzzall, the man who was hung in New Hampshire, all night, to get from him a confession of guilt. Buzzeil protested his innocence to the last, and now the New Hampshire folks are fearful tbat the right man will turn up'some day. The United States purchased Louisiana of France, and as part payment assumed the claims of citizens of the United States against France, amounting to more than t3, 000,000. The transaction relieved France, and then the United States quietly, pocketed the money belonging to its citizens, and has kept it ever since. It would be difficult to find a more outrageous case of piracy. Old Zach Chandler says that 20 years ago he took a long series of boxing lessons from the man who trained Heenan, and that he got up a first-class muscle which he has preset ved, and declares that if he ever is assailed his assailant will discover that he can defend himself without resorting to weapons. Zach has taken lessons also of Louisiana liars and can defend himself that way, too. The New York police must be as brave a Bet of brutes as ever swung a bludgeon. On the occasion of the murder of the brother of Bishop Seymour one of the policemen tore a sick woman, a grief-crazed wife, from the side of her dead husband, and marched her, half clad as she was, to the station house, turning a deaf ear to her plea to be allowed to dress herself, and refusing to her brother the poor boon of permission to procure a carriage for her conveyance. It is reported that John Sherman, Hayes' perjury broker and secretary of the treasury, pays only $100 into the corruption fund. "which is," says the Philadelphia Times, "but little more than one-half the propor tion assessed upon the clerks of his depart' ment They pay 2 per cent, of their salar ies, while the secretary'scontribution is only 134 per cent, of his salary. We fear the country will hardly look upon this as a fair thing in the man who has nominated himself for the presidency, and who has about as much at stake in the result of - this year's elections as any other hnman being." The Southern Methodist negroes are level headed upon the Kansas exodus craze, as is shown by the action of the conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church re' cently in session at Dallas, Texas, where resolution was adopted declariog tbat the conference did not indorse the ' exodus scheme, nor the convention called to pro mote It "by broken down political trick sters." The conference advised the colored people of Texas to "remain at home, attend to their crops, purchase homes and educate their children." The pitiful fact with Hayes is, that he seems to be slaking below his party and is litcelv i-t irag the party along. With the approach of uviur preaiueutiai campaign ne arops an pietence of reforming anything ; he forgets his good promises, and serves his party with a zeal which he could not aronse when he undertook to enlarge the duties of the executive anu maie ms nign omcesomethingmore than pariy lever. v una presiaentiat candidate in one or the chief places of his cabinet, the resident not only allows the civil service to e used to further Individual ambition, but he is himself ever alert to give a helping hand. Government employe", unfriendly or lukeTyjirm, are remuved to give place to those who sue willing and know how to advance tne .ministration's programme for the campaign ot next year. Philadelphia Times. There is no doubt but that Hayes is a great sinker. That he ca go down through a 1,000 miles of Republican filth and slime and lllainy ' with the " rapidity and certainty that a . - 1,000 tons of pig lead would find the bottom of the Atlantic ocean. There, can be no doubt in the minds of honest men but that he can sink below his party, or that "he seems to

be sinking below his party," is pore fiction. Nothing in tne universe of God, subject to the laws of gravitation, could beat the Republican party in sinking. It . la the sinkingest thing that was ever thrown overboard, and will continue to sink until it finds the bed-rock of well, purgatory.

The Northern Democrats are not jubilant over the resurrection or tne iltate rights doctrine. Ttiey are looking upon the performance in anxious silence, hoping the South will see the folly of it and give up this second fight in advance. Of coarse it is the fault or the Northern Democrats that the issue has been revived. New York Tribune. ," " Now, suppose the New York Tribune for once talks honestly and tell its readers what State rights Democrats North or South claim that are not constitutional rights? And then, just for the fun of the thing, suppose it states what rights Republicans claim for the States? It will be safe to bet that the Tribune will steer clear of such interrogatories. . . t John Sherman has been interviewed upon the subject of using the office which he now holds to help him to the nomination for president. As a matter of course, John, in true Louisiana style, denies everything, just as coolly as would Mrs. Jenks or J. Madison Wells. He declared that he "neither had nor would in the slightest degree use the power of his office to promote his nomination, and was only a candidate in the same way that many others are classed as candidates; that he expected every Republican freely to express his opinion and as freely to make his choice of candidates; that he would do nothing to influence the feeling and judgment of those holding public office, and that he would not accept a nomination unless it was the clear and distinct desire of the majority of the Republican party, without bias or influence from office holders or office-seekers. The officers of his department, he said, are like all other people they have aright to express their preference, and so far as was he concerned they would not be injured or aided, because of their preference for, or opposition to, him." We do not suppose there are a dozen men in the country at all familiar with John Sherman's character for veracity, in partisan political matters, who believe a word he says, and if he were to make the same statements under oath no strength would be added to them thereby. As a veracity man, John Sherman is below par. CURRENCY FEB CAPITA. Mr. Warner, the author of the silver bill that passed the House of Representatives, and upon which the Senate was prevented from taking action by the stubborn hostility of Senator Bayard, has written a letter, show ing the volume of currency circulation in the United States from 1865 to 1879, which embodies valuable facts and figures with which the people should be familiar. The letter was written to Hon. H. L. MnIdrowt of Starkville, Mississippi, as late as June 30, and the figures given, as Mr. Warner says, 'were taken entirely from official treasury statements made at different times." It will be observed that Mr. Warner has included nothing in his statements that was not strictly currency as . conceded by the Shylocks, although a strict adherence to well established facts would nave permitted a different summing up of totals. But as Mr. Warner's purpose in writing the letter was not controversy. but to tabulate figures drawn from official sources, it was prooaoiy better that he should have left out items about which there has been a deal of dispute, using only men dates as all must concede to be as near the tacts as it is possible to arrive at. It will ba observed that Mr. Warner, by his statements, shows that the amount of currency per capita has steadily decreased from 1865 to 1379. And this demonstrates the fact that contraction has steadily been going forward, directly, Dy reducing the volume of circulation, and indirectly by the increase of population, the two factors show ing a decrease per capita from $39 in 1865 to $14 in 1379. The statements of Mr. Warner are so full and complete that we reproduce them entire: Volume of Currency. Jane 30, 1865.

the treasury April 30, 1879, according to the

secretary's report to the Senate, $133 000,000. But plainly, neither this coin nor other currency that has been purchased by the sale of bonds and held under the resumption act as a hoard or gathered in the treasury as the result of an excess of revenue over expenditures, ought to be counted as part of the circulation, for certainly it can have no effect whatever upon prices. Taking the present population of the United States at 49,000,000, the above volume ($689,424,613), gives $14 per capita. No account in the statement for either of the above periods has been taken of the gold and gold notes (now about $1,500,000 of the latter) in circulation on the Pacific coast The coin in circulation on the Pacific slope has been variously estimated from $15,000,000 to $25,000,000, but whatever it may be it has not changed enough to affect the comparison of the different periods given. In addition to the circulation in the United States, Mr. Warner gives some valuable statements relating to the monetary sit uation in various European countries of great value, as they enable the reader to form correct conclusions upon matters of vital importance: CIRCULATION IN ENGLAND, 1378, Bank of England notes.. ..ll37.0S5.CtX) rrivatie Dan as.. .. 11,610,0110 ll.bTo.O'W - Z7,500,(JUO .. 84,725,000 Joint stock banks..

Population ot Germany, 43,000,000, which gives about 120 per capita. Of the metallic money of Europe and the United States, 10 great public treasuries viz.: England, France, Austria, Russia, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy,Spain and the United States hold $1,165,000,000. Eight creditor nations viz.: England, Germany, France, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Denmark and Sweden containing a total population of 130,000,000, possess about $2,700,000,000 (out of a total of $3,300,000,000) of gold and silver held by all Europe, which gives to these States named $20 per capita of metallic money, while the rest of Europe, with a population of 180,000,000, possess only $600,000,000 of coin, or a little more than $3 per capita. ' . " " The nations comprising this population are all debtor nations, which shows the effect cf national debts in the distribution of metallic money. 'H Russia has an incontrovertible paper cur rency of about $300,000,000; Austria about $460,000,000; Italy about $240,000,000, but there are no reliable estimates of the quan tity of the precious metals held in these countries outside of the public treasuries, but as specie payment is suspended in these States, the amount is probably not large. The quantity of coin in circulation in the three countries given England, France and Germany it should be remembered too are estimates only, but are estimates by those most competent to make them. In comparing the volume of currency in different countries, it is necessary, in order to correctly measure the relation of volume of money to prices, to consider the business habits of the people and the economizing appliances used. Thus in England the clear ing-house, the bank check, and other forms of credit do a part of the work which in France is done by money only. In other words, in France there is less use of credit instruments and greater use of money, and consequently the money volume is larger. But in France there is less expansion and contraction, and fewer panics than in Eng land. While these dinerences in the money volume of different countries exist, it never theless is strictly true that prices depend on the relation of the money volume to com modities and transactions, and it is a matter of the most vital importance to understand tbat the volume of money in any country can never be materially contracted without breaking down prices, checking enterprise, stifling production, and producing idleness, bankruptcy, and the long train of miseries that follow. ' WORK FOE THE NEXT SESSION. Already the paptrs have commenced dis cussing and - mapping out work for the next regular session of Congress, and the cry for more retrenchment and reform is heard throughout the la d. The New York Sun, in commenting upon the subject, remarks that "during ihe last two Congresses the Hepublican majority in the Senate was an obstacle to every reform and to every bill of retrenchment proposed by the House of Representatives. All reductions in public expenditures had to be extorted from a reluctant party, and were obtained only by the force of public opinion, added to the determination of the popular branch to cut off the most conspicuous abuses, or to let the appropriations fail, and thus make up the issue for the country. This alternative forced the Senate to concessions that other' wise would not have been made. While this antagonism existed, no systematic plan of economy, based on a searching investiga tion into every part of the public service was at all practicable. ' Consequently much remains to be done in this direction, and the responsibility of failure rests with the Democrats, now in a majority in both Houses."

There is no mistaking the fact that much is

till to be accomplished in the wav of re

trenchment and reform. Already the Democratic party has saved the country many mil" lions 6f dollars, and many more millions may e saved to the tax burdened people. . The practice of making "permanent appropria tions," which in their nature are indefinite, ought to be," says the Sun, "at once abol ished, with the single exception of the inter est on the publio debt, about which there can bo no discretion exercised. Under this system, the secretary of the treasury regu lates the customs service without any supervision of Congress, and millions are expended in other departments, wholly nnknown to the public, and indeed to Congress itself. Take a few illustrations, to show the "work ing of the system: - "Between 1870 and 1873 the annual appropriations for the war department aggregated $369,000,000, and the permanent appropriations, not seen or heard of, except by the initiated, summed up $56,000,000. The annual appropriations ' for the customs service in the same period amounted to $62,000,000, while the permanent appropriations reached $104,000,000. In these eight years the miscellaneous annual appropriations voted were $265,000,000, and the permanent appropriations $56,000,000. Here is a total of two hundred and sixteen millions, in round numbers, under three heads of the public service, for permanent appropriations in eight years, not a dollar of which passed review or criticism in Congress. "This laxity, when fairly considered, is astounding. Millions have been squandered and stolen through the opportunities which are thus afforded by a discretion that is mostly exercized by subordinates. It Ib easy to understand from this general statement that many millions might be saved every year with a strict administration of the public service, while other millions could be added to that large possible economy bv a reduction of the army to the wants of the country. This s ipart of the work laid out for the majority at the next regular session in December. INVESTIGATIONS. The almost universally admitted fact tha the Republican party had become corrupt to the extent of absolute rottenness prompted the people to exile it from power. As a consequence, from the highest exaltation of power and influence the Republican party fell to the lowest level of infamy. Every thine it touched became contaminated. Fraud lurked in every official paper, scoun drelism manipulated every Government transaction. Villainy had its den in every department. Mendacity was stamped upon every utterance, duplicity marked every im portant measure, and the policy of the party under Grant's administration was without one redeeming quality. When the Democratic party, by the voice of the people, ob tained control of the' House of Represents Uvea, the supreme demand was that the knavish transactions of the Republican party should be' breught to light and set in order before the people. As ' these - investigations proceeded and the atrocious conduct of Republican officials was made known, the Democratic party grew in strength and confidence, until the legislative department of the Govern ment was confided to its keeping; . and to day, but for the nefarious acts of Republican conspirators, the executive department would be in Democratic hands. There has not been an investigation into the traneac tions of any of the departments of the Government that has not resulted in bringing to light a mass of official rottennets of the most astounding turpitude. The latest report that has been published it that of Representative Glover, and now the parties implicated in this document are en deavoring to impress upon the public mind that, because it does not completely anni hilate them, it is a failure and deserving of no attention ' whatever. But the Fhiladel phia Times ' takes a different view of the subject. The integrity and ability of Mr. Glover is not doubted, "nor is it doubted," says the Times, "that his report was a plain statement of the conclusions formed by a Congressional committee upon sworn testimony taken . in the course of protracted and careful investigation on a subject legitimately within their province These conclusions are given circumstan, tlally, with names and figures and citations of authorities.' They are before the public over a responsible name, and in default of like circumstantial refutation the public will he likely to find a verdict against the ac cused. It will not do, therefore, for Secre tary Sherman to say that he does not know how the report affects him; : or for Auditor French, who is charged with fraud ' in the care of the effects of deceased soldiers, to say that the matter is unworthy of notice; or for Mr. Brooks, of the, secret service, to say that allegations of irregularities on the part ot his bureau ' are made out of whole cloth, much less for the officers of the bureau eBgraving and printing to take it out in de nouncing Glover. The reception given the report by the accused is about as bad as their attempts to suppress it. Unless ' these charges are dissipated by frank and convinc ing explanations we have not heard the last of them. They will constitute a strong Democratic campaign document" WESTERN COMHERCE. There are those who affect to believe that the great navigable streams of the West are about played out as arteries of 'commerce, and that the railroads are to do the transportation business ' in the future.. We are told, that the commerce of New Orleans is rapidly j decaying, and that the ; great Southern emporium is afflicted with ', the "dry rot" owing chiefly to the fact that the railroads have triumphed over the rivers. Those who indulge in that sort of dreaming have studied the laws which govern commerce to little purpose. The war of the rebellion changed the pathways of trade, and the poverty of the South has so far permitted Eastern cities to maintain their advantage. But the South is not always to be financially crippled, and in the long run the navigable rivers will seert their superiority over railroads for the transportation of the products of the West to the seaboard, and thence to the markets of the world. One of the supreme requirements in solving the problem, was to overcome the obstructions to navigation found at the mouth of the Mississippi river. This has been accomplished by Captain James

B. Eads. This .' fact is set ' forth in the following dispatch from Captan Eads, and which was posted on 'Change in St Louts, on Saturday last. "Nw Orleans. July 11, 1879, John Jackson, President Jetty Company: "Please announce on 'Change that the maximum channel required by the Jetty act has been secured, and oRictallv certified to. nama.

ly: Thirty feet through the Jetties, and 26 feet through the shoal at the head of the pass. Therefore the Mississippi river may be considered fully opened to the commerce of the worm. j axes li. cum." The announcement that Captain Eads contract with the Government is completed will be hailed with supreme satisfaction throughout the great West. It dates a new era ia the commercial affairs in the Mississippi valley. The farmers of Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska will no longer burn their corn for fuel on account of the cost of railroad transportation to ' the sea board. With the mouth of the Mississippi cpen at , au seasons ot . the . year to ships ot the largest class. the question of the route for the bulk of Western products is settled for all time. As for money facilities, there need be no anxiety. Money will go where it is required for commercial enterprises, and New Orleans will not be embarrassed on that account. Hereafter the navigable streams of the West will receive more attention from Congress. As other questions become settled and are laid aside, the West will demand her fair share of the resources of the country to facilitate her development, and she will be in a position to obtain all that is demanded. Via New Orleans to the markets bordering on the gulf and the Caribbean sea ' to the West Indias and Brazil, and to Europe, will be the route; and it will not be difficult to demonstrate when necessary that in every instance the river route is the cheapest, and in many the more expeditious. GENERAL NOTES. JNorth Pekrt, Me., has an Infant'giantess in perfect health, which, though but a year old, Is three feet high and weighs as mucn as a heathy 12-year-old boy. At Its birth It only weighed nine pounds. Its great-great-grandfather was a man of extraordinary size. The police of Chicago had occasion to make a raid upon the office of a "ticket scalper" in that city recently, and among the stocks discovered were passes and 1,000-mlle tickets to the value of nearly 83,500, which had been granted by railroad companies to various indi viduals, and by them disposed of for a money consideration. In the Red River country the Grandin farm contains 68,000 acres, with wheat standing on 40,000 acres of .lt. The farm has an elevator of the capacity of 50,000 bushels, and a telephone four miles In length. The Dairy m pie farm Is four miles square, and yielded last season 111, bushels of wheat and 25,000 bushels of oats and barley. The danger of transmitting disease by books has been investigated bv the Chicago public library directors. They have corre sponded with physicians and librarians in various parts of the country, but not one has ever known of a case of contagious disease having been imparted by a book from a circulating library. M Anton Marble was married very quietly on Wednesday morning. In Sew York, to a Mrs. Lombard, a wealthy widow of tbat city. Rev. Dr. Morgan, who performed the ceremony, and the sexton ef the church, with the bride and groom, made up the wedding party. The ceremony occupied Just 10 minutes. The happy pair took the French steamer immediately after the. ceremony for Europe. . ... Senator Butler, of South Carolina, Is described as a quiet,' amiable, genue-volced man, reserved in his bearing, fascinating In manner, and handsome in appearance, lully six feet tall, about 48 years of age, hair Just turning gray, face smooth, features refined, eyes blue In fact Is as handsome as old Zach but then he's a "brigadier," and votes the wrong ticket to be strictly "loll." There Is probably only one class of men in the country who can see any possible good that may result from another yellow fever epidemic In Memphis, and they are the newspaper correspondents. It is safe to assert, however, that very few of the class will be willing to encounter the risk of an abode In tbat oity, notwithstanding the fact that the Chicago Tribune's man survived the ordeal last year. , Imitation meerschaum pipes are now manufactured from potatoes in France. A peeled potato is placed in sulphuric acid and water, in the proportion of eight parts of the former to 100 of the latter. It remains in the liquid to blacken, is dried with blotting paper and submitted to a certain pressure, when It be comes a material that can be readily carved. The counterfeit is said to be excellent. An imitation Ivory, sufficiently hard for billiard balls, can be made by still greater pressure. A resemblance ot coral Is obtained by treating carrots in the same manner. The following fable, related by Rev. Mr. Btites, of Pittsburg, teaches how clergymen may win boxes of cigars: "In 1871; I think It was, I visited Washington City. Grant had Just got home from Loug Branch, and I sent him my card, scarcely thinking he would re member me. On the card X wrote : 'Compliments of Rev. S pastor of a church in Wash lngton Territory when President Grant was on duty there as a lieutenant.' In a very few minutes after my card was taken np I was ushered into the Blue room, where I was cordially greeted by the president. He seemed to think I was after an office, for Immediately aft?; the greetings were over he blurted out wlLi 'What can I do for you?' I told him he eould do nothing for me, as I was a higher offi cer than he. He asked what office I held and hew I obtained my appointment.

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY For tne Prevention of Crnelty to Animals. Headquarters of the Society, Fourth Avenue, cor. Twenty-second 6 i'st.,1 879.) New York. March 4, 1879. Messrs, Samnel Gerry A Co.: A lotion l"SAPANCLE' manufactured by you has been given me for the purpose of testing its curative effects on mankind and animals. I have not yet had occasion to apply it to the latter, but 1 have done so to myself, and have received immediate relief. Being an animal myself, I have every reason to belief that brute creaturesjwould experience similar benefit from Its use. This Society will so employ It whenever tha necessity shall present itself, and, in the mean time, I commend it to the patronage of all having need of relief from suffering. HENRY BERGH, President.
