THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 3, 1879

WITH SUPPLEMENT.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3. The war department asks for $29 319,701 next year. Thi Sunday Sentinel claim a circulation of 7U. Indianapolis Republican. The claim is well foundnd. xx reason given by the Journal for want ing so macy negroes in Indiana is that farm laborers are scarce. This is a nice time to bring them into the State after all the crops bare been gathered. Perhaps the persimmon crop is cot all ia yet. Electricity is now being advocated to take the place of the gallows. It is claimed that it would be an intt intaneous, cheap ft d bnmane way of getticg rid of crim inais. if lightning would ever strike twice in the same place it might be utilized to great advantage. However, there is no way to make billing people a popular affair. AsorHBEroinlnent Republican negro has been assassuiated In KouUi Carolina, but, as usual, poll lies had iiothlDg to do with it. Cincinnati Commercial. This means, of coarse, that politics bad something to do with it. The dispatch an nouncing this recent murder said: "William Nix was a .stalwart Ripublican.

Davis died at 8-.3CO' pneumojila, at the Palmer House. Mrs., Davis will leave here with the body at 8 to-morrow evening. P. H. HHER1DAN, Lieutenant Geueral. The above, with similar dispatches to other parties, were received In the city last evening abont 8 o'clock. As General Davis was in this city a short time ago, in apparent good health his many friends were much surprised and pained at the sad intelligence. General Davis was born la Clarke county, Ind., March 2, 18.8. Ha entered the Mexican war when but a boy, enlisting in Colonel Lane's regiment. For. gallant conduct at Buona Vist he was promote! to a second lieutenantcy in the First United States artillery. In 1832, anl afterward in 1857, he was engage! in settling Indian difficulties in the Sooth. At the breaking oat of the rebellion he formed one of General Aaderson'd gallant command at Port Sutnpter, when the first gun was fired. Previous to this he had charge of the cargo of an African slaver, "which had been, captured. Several writs of habeas corpus were served against htm by the excited people of Charleston, but he refused to surrender the slaves. The yellow fever breaking out among then) settled the question, and carried off so many of them that Davis was allowed to send tb4 balanse to Li beria. V . ; . At tU9 siege of gamier, Davis was the only lndianian in the garrison. He was on tbe ramparts when, early ia the morning of April IS. 18U1, the fir&t shell exploded over the foit. He j had command of a battery during the bombardment, which silenced a floating battery, and alter the surrender he was promoted to a captaincy, and came to Indianapolis as mustering officer for Indiana. Alter several months of severe, labor in organizing and eqipplng regiments, he led the Twentysecond Indiana to the field, after having been detained some time in camp at St. Louis. Be was ordered to relieve General Grant of the command of all forces between the Missouri and Ot age rivers. At Mllford, Missouri, he captured a superior force, and for gallant conduct at this point he was promoted to a brigadier generalship. At the battle of Pea Ridge he commanded a division, and participated at the Dattle of Corinth, Miss., after which he was assigned to auty la the Army of the Tennessee. About this time In the career of General Davis, or to be exaction the morning of September ', lHoi, there nappened a very sad affair. We refer to the killing of Gdueral Nelson, at Louisville. lie had ordered General Davis to Cincinnati, and Davis approaching hiui for sume exp.anatlon regarding tbe order or matters connected with It. was met by Neison wlta (it was said) curses and other grossly insulting language. The meeting took place in Louisville, in the office of the Louisville Hotel. Tav1m. aston nded aud inoron'hlv aronsMl at the reception on the part of Nelson, stepped aside, borrowed a pistol from a friend, and shot Nelson dead as he ascended the hotel stairway to his room. He was arrested, but never tried, and soon ordered on duty again. General Davis was Justified generally by pub lieopluion in tbe affair. He coininauded a division in the battles around Marlreesboro, and notably and magnificently at Chlckamagua, in which terrible battie it has been - claimed by his friends that be ajoue withstood tbe repeated and terriflo advances and on-laughts of the Confederate army. This was one of the most terrible battles of the war, and if anyone had any douots of General Davis' a hi ltles to handle a large body of mm successfully and victoriously, such doubt were dispelled alter the battle of Uuickamauga. In the Atlantaeampaiga and In Sherman's march through Georgia General Davis commanded tbe Fourteenth army corps He was braveited a major geueral at the end of tbe war, and in July, l, made colonel of the Twenry-thlrd infantry oi the regular army. Alter tne war he was stationed on tbe Pacific coast, eominaudlog lor some time tbe trooDS in onr now pjssessiou of Alas ka. After the murder of General Can by by the Modoo ind.ans he took command of the army and compelled the Indiana to surrender. During th past summer General lavu du oeeu vumiug uis irieuua iu i uuian with bis wife, who wa adaughterof tbe iate Dr. Atoon, a we i-anown citizen oi mis cry for many years His wile survives him. We believe in it he leaves no children. ' After the b unbardmeut of Sumpter some of bis friends of ibis city decided to pteseut uim with a sword as a testimonial to hU bravery and gallantry Tblswasat the begiuniug of tbe war, when tula sort of toing was aone ostent&tiouslv. aud wuh some punpandcir en instance. The general would have little or noce einony. He insisted tbatltsb aid be done verv iiuieuv and without any uubllclty. and thus it waidu e by the lae Dick Ryaa, Esq., who, wun a very small party, met, if we mistake not, in tbe office . of a livery stable - on .

courteous gentleman unobtrusive almost to diffidence, and as brave and courageous as a lion. As onr .dispatches indicate, bis body will arrive in the city on Tuesday morning, and the arrangements for the funeral will be made public as soon as known.

GENERAL NOTES. Charles Rbade, the novelist, has made f 175,000 by his pen. General Gr ait's father died at tbe age of 80 and his mother is still living. General 1;e Bctlkk, in paying bis campaign bills, finds a little item of "118,000 for printing." Secretary Thompson, of the Davy, goes to bed at 9:33, and be is a good talker, especially on theological subjects. Considering that the Democ ratio party is dead, the Republicans are discharging a dea' of superfluous advice at the remains. The editor of the Cincinnati Gazette baa been Interviewed In New York, and says that he doubts whether Grant can be elected If nominated. Henry Lava Sclwtn, a fall-blooded Sioux Indian and a son of a leading chief of the Yankton tribe, has been ordained pastor of the church at Yankton. The Indianapolis Democrat says: This is the question whether Indiana shall be Africanized, or whether white men will still maintain it in statu quo? Mrs. Sandy used to be a Roman Catholic, but concludes to spend her remaining days as a Baptist. She is 91 years old, and was immersed the other day at Sardis, W. Va. Professor Leeds has read a paper before the New York Academy of 'Sciences showing that analyses of taffy candy discloses lamp black, aniline, fusil oil and chromate of lead. The greatest taxpayer in the United States, if cot in the world, is Mr. Blackwell, the North Carolina tobacco manufacturer, who pays a tax of 8520,000 a year, J10.0U0 a week, or over 11,428 per day. Shu-boildisq on the Clyde was never so active as now, 70 vessels being on the stocks in the 35 building yards. Twenty-three new keels were laid last month. The French Transatlantic company is having eight new steamers constructed there. California apples are not seen in the mar kets of the Eastern States, and It is not generally known that good varieties of that fruit are produced on tbe Pacific coast; but tbe fact is that they are very fine and aie monoplizing the market of New Zealand. The Cincinnati Enquirer: "Senator Bayard may organize his personal boom on a nonsectional basis, bat he will find that the oppositi jD to him will be seciional in tbe most exasperating way. His fight against the sliver dollar will not be forgotton in the West." As Kellogg was elected by a "rump" Legislature, and the evidence accumulating day by day that his election was the result of rascality and fraud, he should be ousted as soon as the Senate gets down to serious work. The demand is for a "boom" in the direction indicated by the foregoing. Senator David Davis is still ill. The Bloomington (111.) Pantograph says that he "mourns with tbe grief of a strong mau the loss of one who for over 49 years was all that a loving and trusting wife could be, and who brought to his home that peace and bliss that wealth and honor could not give." A friend of Chief Justice Chase attributes his death to the fact that he had not practiced law for 20 years when he became chief Justloe, and found himself so deficient among tbe profound old Judges associated with him, that he studied day and night to remedy bis defects and bring himsslf up to the fit standard, and under this mental strata he broke down. The Boston Post: "Even the Republican arithmetls man c in not make out a satisfactory electoral vote for his side without Including New Jersey and Indiana. By what violent process does he propose to lift those States out of tbe Democratic ranks, where they have always been, just to make his political ledger balance T" Jay Gould's check for 13,800,000, which was given to Commodore Garrison on the purchase of the securities of the Missouri Pacific l all road a few days ago. Is said to be the largest check ever drawn by any private individual In this country. "That amount," said Goif!d to the commodore, when the little bit of paper passed between tbem, "is only a portion of the money I made in my operations in ," naming certain stock now apparently on the down grade. . . A romantic young couple, living In Lisbon, N. H., went out lor a drive, and in returning were carried by their runaway horse Into the Am monoosuc river. It was so dark tuat they dared not turn around. The horse swam across with them, but tbe water In tbe deepest part encircled their necks, though they stood upon tbe buggy seat. The opposite bank being too steep for the horse to cilm b, the eouple got ashore over the shalts and rescued the horse by cutting him loose. , At New Philadelphia, O., a huge dog, in at tempting to scale a high fence into a yard, misled his calculations and landed at the bottom of he well, 60 feet deep. The family thought the water rather "iLey" next morning, but could not account for it. About noon the hired girl, upon looking iulo the well, dis covered a pair of gleaming eyes staring at her from the bottom. Help was obtained and the dog drawn op. He In the well about 16 hours and kept alive by swimming all the time. : MR. Spurg eon, it appsars, "makes no bones of takin f wnat material he wants from the sermons of others. Dr. Aruaitage Is quoted as saying that he heard Mx. Spuigeou preach a beautiful sermon one day, aud at its close tbe famous Englishman announced to his ugregation that half of the discourse he had just preached he bad got from Jukes, an excellent English divine, adding: "Next Sunday we shall be Indebted to him for two-thirds of the sermon whloh you will hear." And he fin ished with a commendation of the book to his people. ; ... H. C. Long, of Delaware, who recently married for fun, has done the thlug again in a serious way. In 1873, when he was only 18 years old, he. was walking la Phllalelphla with Miss Lucy Robinson, a young inlssol 15, when, he proposed that they should be married. She agreed, and in tea tnlautej the J jku was carried into eSdat. He took her tJ the house at which sbe was visiting, and they did mot meet ag&la for a year or more. They subsequently bee tram wars that the Jooular mar riage was binding, and, as bo h had formed other attachments, a divorce was applied lor and granted. Onb of the ladles of the harem of his highness, the ex khedlve, has eloped from Naples. The Piccolo quotes the Corriere del Mattino, confirming tne report: "it may be regar led as true," it say, "f jr the QiaMtura haa disco v end the nest of the doves at Foggta, but when the discovery was made tney were alraady married according to the civil la jr. The lady, it Is said, is French, and the acquaintance was made la a somewhat romantic way.' The gentleman, a Big nor D IS U was painting in tbe neighborhood of tbe khedive's house, when from a distance he caught sight of the lady and was couqueied. Some suspicion having been awakentu, the artist was prohibited from painting any more at that sp t, and fall two months have passed since tbe journals reported that an artist had been driven away with some violence by a boatload of the x-khedlve retainer. An

intercourse by signal, however, was renewed, and after a good deal of telegraphing the lady disappeared." ' . - One of tbe most remarkable results of the late election in Virginia was that in which an old politician, who had been frequently elected to the Legislature, was defeated by his former slave. ' Leading Southern men who bave recently arrived In Washington say that the Northern Democrats most select the head and tall of the presldental tic set, and the Southern States will come np to the scratch with 138 electoral votes. They only ask their Northern brethren to carry New York and Indiana, and they will

do the rest. Tax Indianapolis 8un (Greenback) says that the negro has precisely the same right to come to Indiana that the white man haa to go to North Carolina, but the party that organized the scheme for destroying the ballots of the worklngmen or Indiana by driving tbe negroes into our State deserves to be sunk to the lowest regions. The Noblesvllle Independent says: Mr. Hendricks, the favorite son or Hooslerdom has been interviewed. He says he will support the nominees of bis party, and that he would regret that Indiana should go against them. Governor Hendricks, agreeable totals most worthy record, stands prepared to fight for tbe right and do his duty under any andall clrcu a. stances. Ssxator Voorheks, In a recent interview, in alluding to Mr. Hendricks, said: "I regard him as one of the very ablest men in this country. I have known him all my life and under all circumstances. He Is a man of the first order of ability and of the highest courage, physically, morally and Intellectually. If elected president his administration wonld be able and pure. It would take rank with the administrations of the earlier president;." The New York World says that a number of leading Republican statesmen and patriots are on trial In Pennsylvania for bribery, corruption, perjury, and a few more cardinal vices of the same sort. So patent Is their innocence, and so eager are they to demonstrate it, that tbey are fighting tooth and nail to get off on technicalities, instead of going to trial on tbe merits of the cases. The Indictments should be quashed at once and the patriots bailed over to a future term. Their help will be Indispensable in the next presidential campaign for Grant, Cameron and civil service reform. , Hos. J. W. Smithek. of Arkansas, being asked whom the Arkansas Democrats desired lor president, replied: "Anybody who can be elected. Were they to consult their personal preferences, tbey would designate Mr. Hendricks. But they would support Seymour or Hancock with equal enthusiasm. Toe course of Mr. Bayard on the Warner silver bill during the extra session of Congi ess has rendered him somewhat unpopular, but tbe great majority of the people of Arkansas are Democrats, and they will support the Democratic nominee, no matter who he is." " Whom do the Repubiic ins favor?" "Gran t.decidedly. Even the office-holders are for Grant, though tbey say little." . , A recent Washington special says one of the most curious statements yet advanoed why the Seymour boom should be encouraged by Democrats and that Seymour should be the Democratic nominee, was made by a New York politician in (his city to-J'ny. Said be: "The ticket must bs Seymour and Hendricks. Seymour can sit In his home In Ullca and without an effort on his part can carry New York. What the Democracy need is the use of bis name. If he will go at the head of the ticket solely as ft figurehead, the ticket of Seymour and Hendricks can be elected. Hendricks can carry Indiana. Such a ticket would keep the South from breaking up, because with the solid vote of the South there Is no doubt of it) electio L The objtrct.on is urged that Seymour is too old. Well, he is not too old to be vot-d for, , The plan will be, iu my judgment, that Seymour will consent to act as a figarehea l, and that, if he is elected, he will resign the office, and Hendricks will become tbe president. With such an understanding as this Hendricks will ran second. People may laugh at this proro-ltlou now, but tbe Demscrucy have cither got to come to it or accept Grant." The tame authority says that Seymour and Hendricks are very warm friends; that tbe former has always been a watro admirer of Hendricks, and will go into such a scheme to try and save the Democrat io ticket, if bis friend Hendricks la the beneficiary.

Grant's Only Chance a Sectional Issue. f New York Sun.l We do not bap pose that any close ob server of General Grant's whole public career entertains tbe least doubt tbat tbe president of eight years ardent'y desires to be presi dent lor four, eight, it, year? longer to be president from and after March 4, 1881, for aud during the remainder of bis natural life.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. Concluded from First Page.

need not be stated here In detail. It is expected that the settlement of this difficulty will lead to suob arraugementsas wlu prevent farther hostile contact botween the Indians and the border settlements in Western Colorado. Ike other disturbance occurred at the Mescalero Agency, in New Mexico, where Victoria, the head ot a small baud of marauaers, alter committing maiy atrocities, being vigorously chased by a military force, mule bis way across the Mexican border, and is noWou foreign soil. . White thee occurrences, In which a comparatively small number of Indians were engaged, are most deplorable, a van majority of our Indian population nave lully justified tbe expectations of those who believe tnat by humane and peaceful influences tbe Indian can be led to aoandon tne baollaof savage lite and to develop a capacity for useful ana civilized occupations. What they have already accomplished in the purxuit of agricultural and mechanical work, tbe remarkaole succera which baa attended tbe experiment or employing a f leighters a class oi lndiuna hitherto couuled among the wildest and moht lutractable, and trie general and urgent desire exproiwed by them for the education of tnetr cnnaren, may be taken aa snfUcieut proof that they will be found capable of accomplishing - much more if they continue to be wisely and fairly guided. Tne "Indian pulley" sketched in tbe report of the secretary of the interior, the object of which is to make liberal provision for tiic education of Indian youth, to settle the Indians upon rarm lots In severalty, to give them title iu lee to their farms, luallttnubie for a certain number of year, and. when their wanta are thus provlued for, to dispose by sale of tbe lauds on tnetr reservations not occupied and used by them, a lund Io be inrmed out of tne proceeds for tbe benefit of the Indians, which will gradually relieve the Uovernment ot the expenses uow provkled lor by annual appropriations, must commend itseif as just aud beneficial to tbe Indiana, and as aim calculated to remove those obstructions which tue existence of large reservation presents to tbe settlement and development of the count y. 1 therefore earnestly recommend tbe enactmn of a law enabllug the Government to give Indians a title in fee, inalienable fori) years, to the farm land aijued to thetu by uiloiuient. 1 aUo reueat tbe recnramendailou made iu my first annual message, that a law. oe pasMeu auimiung inuiaus wno can give satisfactory proof of having, by their own Kbor, supported their families for a number of years, and who are willing to detach themselves from their tribal relatlons.to the benefit ot the homestead act, and to grant tbem patents containing the mine provision of inallenab Illy for a certain period. The experiment ot sending a number or Indian children, of buth sexes, to the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, ia Virginia, to receive an elementary English education and practical instruction iu farming and other bsetnl industries, has Jed to results so promising, tbat it was tbougbt expedient to turn over the cavaliy barracks at Carlisle, in Pennsylvania, to tbe Interior department for the establishment of an Indian acbool on a larger vcale. This school has now li8 puplis, selected from various tribes, and is in full operation. Arrangements are also made for tbe education of a number of Indian boys aud girls belonging to tilbes on tne Pacific slope, in a siintlar manner, at Forest tirove, in Oregon. These institutions will commend themselve to the liberality of Congress and to the philanthropic munificence of the American people. Last apriug lnformatiod was received or the organization of an extensive -movement in tue Westeru states, tbe object' of which was the occupation by ununlliorizcd person's of certain lands in the Indian Territory ceded by the Cherokees to the Uovertimeat lor the purpose of settlement by other Indian tribes. On the 24th of April I Issued a proclamation warning all persons against participation la such an at'empt, aud, by thecu-operaltono! a military force, the invasion was promptly checked. It Is my purpose to ptotect the rlgbts of tbe Indian iubaoitants ot that Territory to the full extent of tbe executive power. But It would be unwise to IgDure tne fact that a territory so large and ko fertile, with a population so sparse and wltu so great a wealth of unusea resources, win oe louna more expotea to me repetition or such attempts as happened this year, when tbe surrounding S ate are more densely settled, and the westward movement of our population looks still nioie eagerly lor fresh lands to ccupy. Under uch clr oumstances the difficulty of maintaining the Indian Territory in its present state wilt greatly increase, and the Indian tribes Inhabiting It would do well to lire Dare for such a contingency. I, therefore, fully approve of the advice given to tnem ny ine secretary oi the interior on a recent occasion, to divide atuobg themselves in severalty as 'large a quantity of their lands as tiiey can cultivate, to acquire individual title iu fee, Instead of th( ir present tribal ownership in common, aud to consider In what manner 111 balance of their lands may be disposed ot by-tbe Government for their benefit. By adopting such a policy tbey would more ecniiity secure for thetutelvea the value of their DOi ssions, and at the same time promote llielr progress iu, civilization unit prosperity, man uy oueavnr. Ing lo perpetuate the pieMtit state of things in the Territory. The question whether a cbaogo id the. control of tbe Indian service should .be made, was in the forty-fifth Congress referred to-a joint committee of both Bouses lor inquiry and report. In my last annual message 1 expressed the hope that the decision of that question, then in prospect, "would arrest lurlher agitation of this Reinject, such agitation being apt to produce a disturbing effect upon tbe service aa well as tne Indians themselves." Since then, the committee having reporwd, the question baa b eu decided in llie negative by a vote In tbe House ot Kepre-eutatlvea For the reasons here stated, and lu view of tbe fact that lurlher uncertainty on Ibis point will be calculated to obstruct otbtr much-needed legislation, to weaken the discipline it tne service ana to unsettle salutary measures now la progress lor the government and Improvement of tha Indiana, I respectfully recommend that tbe decision arrived at by Congreas at its last session oe permitted lo atand. . . .

The enactment of suob a law appears to become a more pressing necessity very day. My reoom menus Lions id iurm -" are renewed In favor of enlarging the lacl It lea of the department of agriculture.

Measures In accordance with this traditional policy for the further tenefit of all these interests, and tbe extension of the rame advantages to every portion of the country, it ia hoped, will receive your favorable considerall ton.

It is earnestly recommended as a measure wbicb shonld unite all suffrages, and which should no longer be delayed. The joint commission created bytheact'of Congrats or August 2, 1876, for tbe purpose'of supervising and directing tbe con. plet ion of the Washington National monument, cf which commission the president is a member, has given careful attention to this subject, and already tbe atreuglneulng of tuefoouda- ' tlon has so far prngreKsed as lo lnsuie the entire suocestot this part of the work A massive layer ot masonry has been introduced below the original Icnnoation. widening the bse, increaKiug the slaoillty of the structure, and rendering it possible to carry Ihe shaft to completion. It is earnestly recommended that such further appropriations be made for tbe continued prosecution of the work as may be necessary fur the completion of this national monument at an early day. Iu former messages, impressed with tbe Importance or tbe subject, I bave taken occasion . to commend to Congress llin adopt on of a generous policy toward the District of Columbia. The report or the cotbtulsslonersor tbe District, here a 1th transmitted, contains suggestlons aud recommendations, to all or which 1 earnestly Invite your careful attention. I ask your early and favorable consideration of the views which they ex press as lo the urgent need of legislation for ine reclamation of the marshes of the Potomac and its eastern bnuch within the limits or tbe city, and lor the repair of tbe streets of tbe capital, heretofore laid with wooden blocks, and now by decay rendered almost impassabie. and a source of Imminent danger to Ihe health of its citizens. The means at the disposal of the commissioners are wholly inadequate for tbe accomplishment of thee important woraa, and suould be supplemented by timely appropriations from the Federal trea.nry. The filling of the flat in front of the city will add to tne adjacent lands aud parks now owned by the United Stales a large and valuable domain, sufficient, it is thougot, to reimburse Its entire cost, and will also, as an Incidental result, secure the permanent improvement of tbe river for tbe purposes of navigation. The constitution having Invested Congress with supreme and exclusive Jurisdiction over the District of Columbia, its citizens must of necessity look to congress alone for all needful legislation affecting their Interests; and as the territory of this District la- tbe common property or tbe people f the Ceiled States, ' wh'-, equally wli h Its resident cltiaena, are interested in the prosperity or their capital, I can not doubt that yon will be amply sustained by the general voice of the country in any measures you may adopt for this purpose. I also invite tbe favorable consideration at Courjress to the wanta ef the public scnools of this District, as exhibited In the report of tbe commissioners. Wbile Ihe number of pupils is rapidly Increasing, no adequate provision exists for a corresponding Increase ot school accommodation, and the commissioners are without Ibe means to n.eet thla uryeut need. A number of the buildings now used for school purposes are rented,, and are. In Important particulars, ui.suit-d for the purpose. The caue or popular education in tbe District of Columbia Is surely enlK.ed (o tbe sameeonslderatton at the hands or tbeXa-iooal Government aa In I be several Stales and Territories, to which- munificent grants or the public lands bave been made for the endowment of schools and universities. , .
