THE INDIANA STATE SENTIKEI, WEDNESDAY MORNING; SEPTEMBER 3, 1879. "" .i . i ii

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3. If the ownership of land is a fair and necessary qualification for suffrage and such Is the tendency of Republican opinion the man who owns 1100,000 worth of It should have 100 votes. If the man who owns f 1,000 worth has one vote. We defy any logician to show that this proposition is wrong. It Is a stock vote to all intents and purposes, and should be pro rata. Washington Post. There is no mistake about the "tendency of Republican opinion" with regard to suffrage. In the case of the negro in Rhode Island, the Republican idea is, let him vote, land 6 no Und; btltiu g9 ? of a foreignborn citizen, he must own land or hi cast out If the negro, when he gets his eyes open, votes the Democratic ticket, as he is doing generally throughout the South, and the Republican party gets control of legislation, yon may bet your bottom nickel some qualification will be tacked on which will deprive the colored man of his vote. The Republican conspirators wanted the negroes' money, and, to get it, robbed him like so many burglars. They want his vote, and if teT Jin't get It, they will rob him of that, too. If the Republicans could vote on a real estate qualification, as the Poet suggests, the party would go to work in a day to steal every acre of the public lands. Possibly they will be able to succeed when the journal's "Nation" is born.

Jobs Sherman's villainy is in a fair way of being thoroughly exposed, and if he is not promptly impeached and kicked out of office, then a great scamp will go unpunished. John Sherman's connection with th First National bank, of New York, is a specimen of partisan scoundrelism that admits of no satisfactory explanation, and his recent order, in arresting the payment of a $4,000,000 check drawn on that bank by Assistant Secretary Gilfillan, fixes the charge of rascality upon the old hoary-headed perjury broker, beyond palliation. The whole refunding scheme pursued by John Sherman has been a downright fraud from the first upon the people, and it is now Bhown to have been pursued for the purpose of extorting from the syndicate banks corruption funds for campaign frauds, and for the express purpose of aiding the Sherman presidential boom in Ohio, and elsewhere. Since John Sherman bartered Federal offices for perjury in Louisiana, which Hayes paid by placing in office the most despicable villains that ever disgraced civilization, nothing more essentially infamous has transpired than John Sherman's connection with the First National bank of New York. It is unadulterated scoundrelism. It is odious beyond adequate description. It illustrates vividly the despicably vile schemes to which the Republican conspirators are resortiog to achieve success. These frauds upon the treasury, this lying treachery of the Republican managers, ought to open the eyes of the people to the dangers that environ them. John Sherman's criminal career ought to cease. His whole record is black with rascality. ORGANIZATION. The Democratic party needs thorough organisation throughout the country. Its future success depends upon it. In urging the necessity of organization, it ia not essential that f presidential candidate be named, though it is of supreme importance that the policy of the campaign be so mapped out that the rank and file of the party may comprehend the nature of the work before them. The "battle-cry" should ring out clear and distinct from the center to the circumference of the country. Upon this let the party cone together and prepare for the coming campaign. There may be some diversity of opinions upon minor matters, and hence the requirement for early counsels, preliminary meetings, the formation of clubs, and the distribution of documents for systemizad work. Theae meetings may be held in wards, townships, cities, counties and States, until the network is complete, and all are bound together in one harmonious whole. There should be adopted some simple plan of action, without complications or red tape, something that will interest the masses and insure success. As yet, little or nothing has been done. Ringing appeals by National and State Democratic committees would be in order. Let the people know what is expected and what is wanted. The Democratic masses can not too soon be set to thinking. Republican conspirators are at work. From the smallest postoffice, from the most insignificant employe of the Government up to the White House, now the foul den of a wretch who rewards thieves and perjurers with Federal offices for helping him into office, the Republican party is at work. Corruption funds are pouring in from a hundred thou sand crime-polluted sources, and every force known to men who have succeeded by crime, and who dare to commit more crimes. is even now being utilized for the campaign of 1880. Shall Democrats be unmindful of the tremendous issues at stake? Ia supineness to characterize the Democratic party when every consideration that directly or remotely relates to the welfare of the country - proclaims the necessity for eternal vigilence? The issues have been squarely presented in the proceedings of the extra session of Congress. There is no mistaking their significance. These issues need to be authoritatively analyzed and sharply defined all unnecessary verbiage eliminated until - the people can grasp them, comprehend them and hold them. Republicanism means the peril of the liberties of the tieople. It means a centralization of power in the hands of the few. It means the overthrow of the constitution, the rights of the States, and a despotism. It means the dethronement of the civil power and the enthronement of the military power. It means a debadched ballot-box, an army of deputy marshals to intimidate voters and to arrest them lnr the interest of a conspiracy to over throw the Government as it now exists. The campaign is at hand. . Democrats are deaf if they do not hear the slogan of the Republican oonspiratora.. To resist the Republican party and to defeat it, to rescue the Government from their grasp and per petuate the liberties of the people, is the task that devolves upon the Democratic

arty. There ia absolutely no other hope for the country. Hence the necessity for thorough organization. It may very properly begin in Indiana, for nowhere in the broad land will the fight wax warmer than in this State. In Indiana, even now, the Repnbli can party ia organizing. Its central committee is actively engaged orders are issued and the initial steps have been taken; already noses are being counted, and the preliminary work is going forward. Under such circumstances it will not do for the Democratic party to remain languid.

A gikl at Hopklnton, Vt.i was a cripple from her birth until lately. The story of her core, as her family tells It, is that, while at dinner, deadly pallor and an expression of agony were observed upon her face, and she com plained of a sudden and terrible pain in her diseased leg simultaneously with the appear ance of a strange, shadowy form by her side. From that hour she began to recover, and she Is now comparatively well.

He was rescued by a crowd of bystanders at a great expense of muscle. Once firmly landed on terra firma, Taurus retaliated- the kindness in a most ungrateful manner by chasing his delivers and attempting to gore them. He was finally subdued and escorted off." Mr. Holloway, the prince of English pillmakers, has devoted 81,250,000 to the erection of a college for the higher education of women, near London, and proposes to endow It with 500,000 exclusive of some land, which will probably bring a great sum on Duilding lease. His advertising has been at the rate of 1100,000 to 1150,000 a year for the last SO years, and In Australia his pills and ointments are a regular item in station supplies up in the bush. Fkars of a grasshopper invasion in the Sierra Nevada valley have caused old Inhabi tants to give their recollection of the devasta tion produced by them 20 years aeo.

A Washington correspondent says that Colonel Mosby, it will be remembered, was one of Grant's boon companions in the White House one of the convivial old boys who could get more talk oat of Grant ever a bottle and cigar than any of his less rough and more diplomatic associates. Mosby has had one of these good old talks with Grant in Hong Kong, the result of which be has communicated to a friend In this city. Mosby says that all this talk about Grant not desiring or not accepting a possible presidential nomination "Poppycock,' to. quote exactly from the Mosby vernacular. DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL NOTES. &iss Maggie Mitchell has started on her annual. Mart Anderson opens ln New York on the 8th prox., Instead of Uutica, as has been stated. It Is arranged that Mile. Almee shall appear on the 1st of September at the Fifth Avenue theater, New York. Niw York la to have plenty of good actors and actresses this winter, but they complain that there are no new good plays. It is reported now that Sothern will open at the Park Theater, New York city, with the English farce of "Cratch and Toothpick." The New Play," in which Lawrence Bar rett has been so successful, will probably be produoea in New York during the season. Mrs. William H. Chapman, the wellknown actress, died Monday in Philadelphia, surrounded by friends. She was 70 years old. Miss Ada Cavendish, under the manage ment of Mr. Matthew Canning, with a com pany of ber own, will shortly commence the season. Lotta's brief season at the Baldwin theater, San Francisco, has been a prosperous one, Miss Imogene ln "La Clgale" at the California was a failure. Haverly's colored minstrels opened last week ln the Boston Theater. There was standing room only." The receipts of the first evening were 11,621. Miss Eva Garrick. who supported Miss Genevieve Ward during a part of her Ameri can tour, will make her first appearance ln New York, at the Park Theater, during this week. Von Bplow, who is now sojourning with his mother and some friends at Bonn, will this winter have an opposition to his opera season at Hanover by the presence of M. Rubensteln at Hamburg. Mrs. E. L. Davenport, It is reported, does not intend to act any more, except on special occasions. She proposes establishing a school for dramatic instruction, to be conduced both ln New York and Philadelphia. Mr. Charles Reads has presented an act ress ln "Drink" with a massive sliver wine cooler. Evidently Mr. Reade does not expect the Interpreters of his powerful story of intoxication to heed Its obvious moral. Wednesday evening, September 24, Is the date fixed for the opening of the concert ses sion at Chickerlng Hall, New York, on which occasion the Carlotta Pattl Concert company, under the direction of Slgnor De Vivo, will appear. ' A popular actress in London, wishing to go oh on a little holiday, employed another act ress of inferior talent, but greatly resembling her, to take her place on the . stage. The inferior actress received all the applause that would have been given to her mistress. The Dramatic News suggests that Starao tres es who indulge ln the habit of losing dia monds procure a large assortment of the Imi tations for use during the coming season, aod adds that a basnet of these paste gems is worth a year's advertising in the principal papers of the country. James E. Murdoch has decided to return to the stage. He is now 75 years of age, and he will make his reentree on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of his original appear ance. Nor does he intend to change bis old repertoire. He will, no doubt, travel with combination. It turns out that two actors named Comp ton are coming to this country one to act with Miss Neilson, the other to act ln the com pany of Mr. Sothern. Both are sons of the eminent and lamented comedian whose fine talents, excellent acting and blameless life made the name of Compton a synonym for distinction and Integrity. An Early Indiana Duel. Madison Courier. One of the first and most tragic of the duels in which Indianians figure was that of Captain Richard V. Talbott, of Madison, in 1812. At that time Captain Talbott was an officer in the American army in the region of the lakes. For s me cause now unknown the captain was challenged to fight a duel by a Kentucky, omcer of . superior rank. who was so incensed on account of fancied injury that he- waived the priv liege of raak in ' his eagerness to appease his wounded honor by shedding blood. The two duelists faced each other holding the ends of a handkerchief "cat acornered." At the word both fired and the Ken tuckian fell dead. The affair was painful recollection in Taibott's subsequent life, and was never mentioned by either his menas or kinarea. a cousin of the captain, a yenerable - lady now living . in this city, stated to us a day - or two since that the duel caused Mr. Talbott great sorrow, and over it he shed many tears. On one occasion he remarked to ber: "I did not have aught against the man. I did not want to kill him, but he challenged me; and under the prevailing code of honor at the time I was obliged to meet him." Captain Talbott resided in this county ' for many years and filled the - office of county clerk - for several terms, lie was the first clerk of Jefferson county. Mr. . Talbott was a prominent Mason and member of the Grand Lodge of the State. His death occurred in 1835, his widow surviving him until seven or eight years ago.

THE STATE PBE99.

The Bloomington Courier has this to say concerning one of the cleverest gentlemen in the State: We notice that anma turner In thin dlatrtnt have been nominating Judge John C. Robinson, of Spenoer, as a Democratic candidate for Congress next year. Mr. Robinson being at present Judge or the circuit court Is not eligible lor the offloe of congressmen ontil the term for woicn ne waa eiectea to tne present omoe expires, and that will not be until 1882. In 1(S76 the Judge could have bad the nomination for congress by simply saying so, and there la no doubt but what be would have been triumphantly elected. Judge Robinson la no doubt very well satisfied where he is, and we are sure that the people are more than satisfied witn nun as a pumic omcer ana ciuzen. The Portland Weekly Sun says: A short time aeo a nolloeman in Indianapo lis arrested a man lor drunkenness. The ar rested man offered some resistance and was shot dead by the policeman, and yet, strange M say the Republican papers, not one of them, raised toe howl of bulldozing, intimidation, rebel, etc. No, they reserve such things for similar eases that happen ln the South. The Republican papers are too busy look ing after Mississippi matters to worry themselves concerning a poor fellow shot down by a policeman at home. The New .Harmony Register straightens out the Evansville Journal handsomely thus: Governor St. John, of Kansas, declares that he does not know of a single refugee having returned from Kansas to the South. So much for that Democratic lie. Evansville 1 Journal. ' And on the preceding nana we find a dis patch from St. Louis savins that all the ne groes would return U they bad money enough. Besides, the Journal knows that the GlobeDemocrat has been Interviewing returning negroes for a month past. The Sullivan True Democracy says: Th Republican naoers are eolovine a rich feast end making their news columns fairlv blaze with the startling statements of the killing of Mr. M. H. Dixon, lndependant candidate lor sherrifl of Yazoo county, Mississippi. They charge it to be the result of a determination ou the part of the Democratic party of that portion of the country to get rid of an opposition candidate, and actually attempt to blame the Democratic party of the united states with the transaction. The Republican papers have not been 'blazing" so much since De Young tried to murder Kalloch. '. The Michigan City Enterprise takes the followlDg from the Madison Courier, which is a clear cut, unadulterated lie, and the Sentinel has so pronounced it: Rath-r sharply the Madison Courier bites; While reading the Indianapolis Sentinellon the Dixon murder one Is not likely to forget that the editor of that paper was a rank rebel recently escaped from a southern Inebriate Asylum," Thatees reugh. It is "rough", because it is a lie. The Fort Wayno Sentinel says: The nractlcal workings of the Qrnbba' libel law are producing a feeling of Intense disgust all over the state. It will take a brave man, Indeed, to vote against its repeal at the next meeting of the Legislature. The Dollar Press: General Morton C. Hunter was in the cltv on yesterday. It is given out that he has guber natorial aspirations, and is a still Hunter for the shoes now worn by his cerulean exoellency. It will take a "more abler man" than Hunter to nil them. Hunter's harangue at the reunion of sol diers at Madison recently ought to use up any aspirations that he may have for any office. On this point the Corydon Democrat says: ' It is reported that General Morton C. Hunter so far violated the confidence of the soldiers at the reunion at Madison last week as to make a bitter partisan harangue. If this is true, it should be condemned ln unmeasured terms by every soldier in the land. If these reunions of tne country's aeienaers are gotten up ln the Interest of any political party, the sooner it is known the better. But we opine that General Hunter, if hlsPDeech was as reoorted. will find his course condemned by every soldier ln Indiana, regardless of politics. The Brazil Mirror thus kills two Journal istic birds with one stone: The Indianapolis Journal defies the"Droductlon of proof that any Democrat was ever prevented lrom depositing his ballot by a soldier, a supervisor, or a United States marshal, anywhere ln the United States." The evidence will never be produced, except in the lying statements of sucn papers as the Mirror of this city. tin ter prise. Yes we do. We know of an old man, now dead, who was in 1864, the only Democrat ln Dublin, Wayne county, this State, who was ridden on a rail by a party of silly women. who were aided and encouraced bv a Dack of soldiers who were a disgrace to any country. The old man was shamefully treated, but not a single one of the perpetrators of the crime ever received the slightest punishment neither the soldiers or the women. And in addition, John Davenport, election supervisor of New York City, last fall arrested about 3,000 citizens upon divers flimsy excuses. Many of them were not permitted to vote. Altogether, it was one of the baldest outrages ever perpetrated upon an election day. The evidence brought to light in the investigation afterward ought to prove that we have no use for Federal super visors at tne pons. The Kokomo Tiibuae says: The Indlananolls Herald calls the vellow fever governor of Kentucky, Dr. Luke P. Blackvomit. Yrs; but in the succeeding issue the Her ald very handsomely says: We do not believe that Dr. Blaokbnrn. re cently elected governor of Kentucky, ever attempted or countenanced an attempt to piant yeiiow iveer in tne nortnern cities by means of Infected clothins. Dr. Blackburn has denounced the story as a lie, and we believe mm. a. man wno loves nis leuow men so much tnat he voluntarily leaves bis home and business to attend the slcK ln fever stricken cities, and literally wears himself out In the good work, could not originate or countenance so murderous a scheme. The Tribune also says: It is understood that Senator Lamar, of Mis sissippi, Indorses the killing of Captain Dixon, at Yazoo. At least he has not opened his month ln condemnation of the murder. We believe our friends of the Tribune do not intend to do Senator Lamar injustice. The senator was interviewed by a correspon dent of the Cincinnati Commercial within a day or two after the killing of Dixon, and Mr. Lamar was reported in the dispatch to tae commercial as ionows: No one. he said, abhorred murder more than he. He abhorred murder ln all its forms, and he regretted this the more because it would be made the excuse for another attack upon the Booth. Here was a murder ln Boston, another ln Chicago, another in New York. Nobody attributed political motives to these murders. But if any man was killed ln the South the whole North howled about "political assassi nation," and convicted the Democratic party oi me crime, n was nmortunate tnat Dixon was snot, oecanse tne fact tnat be waa a nn. didate gave color to these charges, and the auair woniu now do usea as a political argument. He declined to talk farther, as he aald his words were always misquoted and his meaning misconstrued. The Commercial has bloomed into very stalwart authority, and it ought to be a good wi tness. . 'Every Man Bis Own Broker." , IBlackwood's Magazine. In Mrs. Centlivre's comedy.

SWEET SWIMMERS.

Ttn Girls Testing Their Natatorial Prow--Engaging; Display of Limb, Science and Grit. fJCew York Btar.l The East river, at the foot of One Hundred and Fourteenth street, presented a lively scene to the residents of the neighborhood yesterday. Its smooth surface was plowed by myriads of rowboata, from 'je shell of the amateur sculler down to the flat-bottomed and turtle-shaped skiff of the terrible small boy, and fleeing through the mass, awift and ever changing as shadows, came sailboats that made their way almost miraculously through the closely packed flotilla. In the bath bouse at the foot of One Hundred and Fourteenth street a score or so of young ladies were busy enveloping themselves in the very newest fashion of bathin? dresses, preparatory to a swim for sundry articles of iewelrv. Thev were all the pupils of Mrs. Grant. the teacher at the baths, and they ranged in age from nine to 24 years. The (oible of the sex was manifested in the youngest as in the oldest of the prospective contestant Banged hair was confined chip At tn th young ladies above 16 years, although some of the young misses had tortured what little hair they had into the ridiculous shape that fashion prescribes. One young lady appeared with hair done up in a lump, and pinned at the top of her head, a device that seemed tr indicate ner fear of being drowned. It happened that she gave out suddenly in the swimming, and her hair afforded an excel lent bold for the gallant young gentleman wno rescuea ner. without exception the bathing suits were modest. There may have been rather a larger display of the lower limbs on the part of some of the more mature maidens than would have been positively agreeable to their admirers, but the costumes were actually as comprehensive as they could be, considering the exertions required of their wearers. At z p. m. the starters for the first race. were placed in a line on a float near the One Hundred and Fourteenth street free bath, and at the word of command they plunged into the stream to swim across the river and back.' They were six in number, and wore the most gaadily trimmed bathing suits attainable. Klttie O'Connor, Katie Graham,. Hattie Zettler, Carrie Tonjes, Libby Batty and Delia Hays were the contestants. The oldest girl in the party was not over 13, and. - tne course was fully halt a mile, with an ad verse tide. Before the first 40 yards had. been made Katie Graham gave out and waa hoisted into a boat, and in a minute after ward Delia Hays became faint and ex hausted. John Fagan, the professional swimmer attached to the bath, kept close to the contestants who had dropped to the rear, and as they showed. signs of distress or fatigue he aided them Mo get into the boats tbat followed the little swimmers closely. The girls struck out boldly at first, but showed that they wereweary by turning on their backs and float ing. As Kitty u Connor turned the stakeboat she asked pathetically, "Ain't we goin' to have no rest?" As the other swinamerawere 300 feet behind her, and as they also seemed exhausted, the race was closed about 20 yards from the stake boat, and the girla were picked out ol the water ana taken ashore. Kitty O'Connor won the prize, which was a pair of bracelets. in the second race the entries were: iJva Holmes, Delia Reilly, Louise Sheldon. Maggie Brennan, Lillie Decker, Mary Farrell and Nellie Buchanan. Not more than 75yards from the starting point Louise Sheldon gave out and was picked up. Excite ment bad made her sick. Maggie Brennen, who started a little behind the rest, swam well in ber effort to catch up with Lillie Becker, who had the lead, and succeeded sowell tbat she came in a fair second. The third race was announced as a swim from Harlem bridge to 130th street, but at 114th street the two ladies and the little girl interested in it decided that they had gone as far as they wanted to go. The entries" were Mrs. Milly Henlay, Mrs Esther Kent and little Libby Green, aged 10 years,, the daughter of the female instructor in the Fourteenth-street bath. The little girl waa allowed a start of two blocks, and set out on her long swim from the foot of Second avenue. The other contestants started fronv Harlem bridge at the same time. From start to finish Mrs. Kent and Mrs. Henlay never allowed clear water to come between them. Mrs. Kent fouled Mrs. Henlay once, but explained that she couldn't help it, and was forgiven. The little girl came in at the bath-house two minutes ahead of her com- . petitora and won the first prize. Mrs. Henlay, who swims with a vigorous, masculine stroke, came in second, but barely a length, ahead of Mrs. Kent. The prize was a medal , A scrub race ended the proceedings.
