Tn. criticisms cf certain newspaper! on the present nianeetuent of the Indiana H.pital for the Icsane have excited grave pprhensioaB in the minds of thousands of people In the .State who have friends and relatives in that institution. The Sentinel propoi to deal fairly with these charges, and without prejudice answer .-uch of them 2 it drems worthy of notice. A point made against the management is that the Hospital Is carried on entirely on a politick la.-pi. It is charged that men have been appointed to places tolely fcr tb.e!r io.itical srvices, and that the appointees ara without the neotsjary qaalit'cations to perform the duties to which they have been sagtet!. Another charge, which, if true, would be a serious one, is that the old aad extierienced attendants have been d'splaoed, and roughs, butaniers and ward politicians bare been substituted. There were quit9 a large number of pbyMciaus ,'rota diiTereat parts of Indiana who applied fcr poetions on the medical sta 3'.

axaminaUoa would ba "held by the superintendent, in presence of the board, and tho e displaying the highest proficiency would ba appointed. On the 10th of Jane last, more than 2p gentlemen underwent a thorosgh professional criticism, and from this number three were selected, appointed by the superintendent, and confirmed by the board. The gentlemen selected were well-known in their respective locality, and brought with them the highest testimonials from men of both political parties regarding their personal and professional standing. So much for the charge that the medical staff was selected simply as a recognition of services rendered to the Democratic party. A reorganization of the benevolent institutions of the State was mids, and no one can truthfully say that they have not since been managed in the interest of the State and her unfortunate ward. The charge that experienced, competent and humane attendants, appointed by Dr. K verts, have been removed to make room tor brutal, coarse and savsge men, aa a reward for political services, is disproved by the simple statement that the last pay roll shows that more than one-half of the attendants, who have charge of the patients in the ward?, are the appointees of Dr. F.verts. None of the young men in the wards aa at tendants, with the exception of one or two, have ever had any experience in politics. The attendants are thoroughly instructed in their duties; ignorance of a rule ia no excuse for ita violation, and any unnecessary harsh ness toward a patient is met with prompt dismiss!. This matter has been thoroughly investigated, and there is no evidence to show that charges of cruelty toward patients are true. Incidents have been distorted, evidence falsified; deliberate and wholesale prevarication has been indulged id; a paid spy has ben employed, and other disreputable methods used to destroy the confidence of the people in the management of the Hospital for the Insane; but it is our belief that the people will cry out with indignant voices aeainst tho?e who have been attempting to injure the reputation and usefulness of the wcrtby men who are administering the atfdirs of one of the greatest and neblest charities of the State. Before closing this article it la proper to state the circumstances of the appointment of Dr. John C. Walkeras a member of the medical sta IT of the Hospital, a-t that gentleman has been the special object of attacks from the bureau of the Enquirer and its coparcener, the Journal. Dr. Walker was appointed by Dr. Everts, the former superintendent, more than a month before Dr. Rogers assumed the functions of superintendent, and before his name was mentioned in connection with the position. He was selected from amongst several names pre. .rented for the consideration of Dr. Everts. Dr. Klstun was retained on the Hospital staff by Dr. Rogers until the 10th of September last. Drs. Smith, Hubbard and Thomas were appointed by Dr. Rogers, as stated before. The facts we have given in this article can not be successfully denied, and they show that the management of the Ic.nne Hospital has been unusually careful and circumspect. It never would have been criticised for its appointments had not the Republican lead' era thought it necessary to break the force of the popularity it has earned by its economical management. To destroy this they resorted to the disreputable means of placing a pid spy in the institution; but in this dirty business they will only have their labor for their pain. MORE ENQUItER BUREAU LITERATURE. We continue to receive communications from our friends in vanoui portions of the State, demonstrating the fact that the Cincinnati Knqhirer bureau in thia city ia being run ia the interests of the Radical party. The tricky Republican managers seem to have completely captured Jim Woodard, the IU Ileal representative cf the Enquirer at this point, and are running him and hij so-called "bureau" in the old campaign ruts, which have been cut deep and dirty with frequent usage. There is a weak attempt at origicahty at the opening of another political campaign. The circulars which have all undoubtedly originated In the Republican State Central committee rooms, differ from the old style only so far as they bear the name of United States Marshal Dudley or Jim Woodard, instead of the regular chairman of the Republican State Central committee. We can understand why Dudley should allow his name to be signed to the eecret circulars which have been sent through the State to the rural Radical, but why it is that the Cincinnati Eaquirer allows Ita accredited agent to be used in the manner that he is being used by Indiana Radicals is beyond our ken. We published one ill intra tion of thia matter the other day. This morning we place before our readers anotbeihandsome specimen, as follows: Cincinnati Knqcikkk, " Indiana Rckeac, 11 Vanck Uixhk, y Indianapolis Ind.,Jn. 21, 18). j Imports receivea at lht office show that uenrai AI. l. M&oson and Colonel E. II. Wolfe, of Kuan county, are in the lead for the Democratic aDd Republican nominations for state. auJitor. What is tbe sentiment lu your towtiNhlp? Cau you l'urutsb. me, after the April election, thenamoa, pjotoitice aidress and politic of all the road auptrvLsors In your township? Voura truly, J. H. YVoouakd. Tbe first paragraph of the foregoing means nothing; it is simply a blind and a very poor attempt at that. What does Jim Woodard or the Enquirer bureau care for the sentiment of a distant township as to who la preferred for atatc auditor and that township in a very strong Democratic county. Now, if the circular inquired for the relative strength of two Democrats for the nomina tion before the comiDg convection, the trick would not be so transparent. But this Is too thin, and reveals a gauzim&j and lack of resource whlc1 we did not expect to find in a trick put up by tbrtwd chaps, like New, Dudley, Jim Woodard, and, perhaps, Buck Terrell. The second paragraph In this Radical bureau circular contains its true latent. The politics of the "road supervisors" is desired, together with their poetofflcea. This information ia desired for the Radical committee. The road supervisors come in contact with large numbers of men in their counties. They will be Influenced when it becomes necessary. Dudley's flnt secret circular Inquired the
politics of school master?, telegraph operat- i
ors, etc, as well as how many negroes there ' were in certain localities. The Sentinel : published the secret Dudley circular, which ! to a certain extent demoralized the Radical ; managers. Now the "Koqulrer bureau" Is ' used to obtain more information of the same , kind. The circqlari are written on paper bearing the Cincinnati Enquirer's printed letter head lines bearing a sort of official dignity about it which the Radical managers thought might captivate Democrats who may have an idea that the Cincinnati Enquirer is a Democratic paper. The shame of this entire business Is that the Eaquirer allows Its Indiana representative to use tts name and influence in the interests of Radicalism in a .State where thousands of Democrats are giving it their support. Democrats how long do you propose to do It? NO DIVISION AMONG INDIANA DEMOCRATS. It must be gratifying to the Democracy of Indiana to know that several of her sons stand so high in public estimation abroad as to be prominently mentioned for the presidency. It must be equally gratifying to witness that there is not the least envy, or jealousy, or bad feeling, between Hendricks, Eoglish, or McDonald the tbrte most freqoeotly mentioned. It is well known that the two latterare not candidates, and will cordially support Hendri.ckr. all the way through. Ii is equally certain that all three will coidially support the nominee, whoever he may be. To the great credit, therefore, of Indiana, it can be Bala that there is not the sliehteet antagonism between the leaders of ber Democracy on tbe subject of the presidency, and is not goirig to be. If the nominee fcr vice president should fall to Indiana, as far as Hendricks, English arjd McDonald are concerned, it would more likely be a contest not to take the position than to tike it. If the Democracy sue ceed, and one of the three shoal i be vice president, tbe otber two would probably be, one in the Senate and the other in the cabinet of the new administration or on the supreme bench or .minister abroad ail of which are more desirable petitions and of greater importance than the vice presidency. Rat iodependent of any consideration of this kind, there is not now, nor is there likely to be in the next canvass, any division or bad feeling between these gentlemen or their frienda, or between any other of the numerous prominent and worthy Democrats of the State. Tae party was never more united and harmonious, and this intures success in this State. If like harmocy can be secured in New York, the general result will be equally fivorabl.

Barncm'8 tattooed Greek sailor Is on exhibition in Albany, and the advertlstment says: 'He has upon his body 7,000,UUO punctures, and it was all done by a female savage. The poor man lost a drop of blood and shed a tear for every puncture, and was the only one of 'Jl who survived the operation. The woman who did the tattooing worked six hours a day lor P0 days before the task was completed." A mathematician of the Albany Express Hgures as follows: "The woman must have given him 3x pnuctures a second. Then, if he lost oae drop of hlcod with eery puncture, he lost, estimating the usual number of drops to a pint, and taking a pint for a pound, ö,SK poundä; or, to put it diflerently, just gallons of blood, or a trills over 20 barrels during 90 days.

About a mouth ago a handsome equipage drew np at the door or the first jewel er in the Russian capital. Alighting from tne carriage, an elegantly dressed and remarkably preity youcg lady eateied tho shop, and requested that 6orue parnres of brilliants might be shown to her. Several costly sets, were forthwith submitted tor inspection, and after some hesitation, she selected a riviere and pendants valued at lO.ifiO roubles, and stating that she was the wife cf an eminent mad doctor, whose nanie U J l)OWSfhpId word in St. I'eters- . burg, requested the Sloßfldof f tW vstabI Usbment to accompany her to:i;e with the J ; jewels in order to settle finally with her husi band about the prlcj. The Jeweler packed I packed up hlsdiaraonds and got ir. to the carj riage with his fair customer. Presently they arrlvtd at a large hou-e, and were received at ' the porte cochere by a Suisse In splendid ! livery, who conducted them up a brllliantlyj lighted staircase into a richly-furnished drawing-room, ia which the lady begged her ( companion to take a s-st, aud, jeweli case in hand, procteded to summon "her I husband." Entering the doctor's consultation j room in an apparent state of uncontrollable agitation, the informed the latter that the bad brought her unfortunate spouse to visit him, in the hope that he woold undertake to cure him of the strange monomania ander which be had labored for some time past.

She drove ofl with the diamonds; an Interview between the doctor and the jeweler fully confirmed her statement with resptct t the latter' alleged monomani, and resulted in his being placed under bodily restraint, from which he was only rescued three days later by hls partner, who succeeded, with the assistance of the police, in tracking him to the private lunatic asylum.

Shocking Tragedj at the Jamale Jmatio Ajlim on Black well's Island. On of he Initiale Murdered Willi n I'all In the Hantl of Another. New York Herald, th.; The murder of a woman, an inmate of tbe Female Lunatic Asylum on Blarkwell's Island by another female, lunatic, was brougb t to light yesterday. Only a skeleton of tbe case is thus far revealed, as the Black.well's Island authorities did their utmost to hush up the'afTair and denied all information U the representatives of the pre s. on tbe ground that, under an order of tbe commissioners, they were forbidden to report any information to the press whatever. Tbe facts of the eve are briefly these: Outside the grounds of the Aylnmlproperi5 a small, low building railed tbe --Retreat," which is set apart for epeciallv dangerous, excitable and noisy inmates. In thia "Retreat" are crowded together about 00 ef these pitiable unfortunates, and in each of ibe small, cramped cells or ''rooais'' not less than three are huddled together. The absurdity and inhumanity of not keeping such uaD,3rou8 lunatics separate and sale from each other's violence will seem manifest at ' once ; bat. incredible as it may appear, it is a fact that for these ?09 dangerous and violent : lunatica there is only one competent I nurse at night, and while that nurse is supposed to be "assisted" by thie women from the workhonse the character of ; these creatures leaves it easy to imagine ; how well iitt?d they are for the watchful i duties of nurses. The solitary eight curse ( of the Rarest" is a Mrs S'ephens. On Saturday morning last she was aroused from ' her napping by thehrieks of a patient and the unmistakable bounds of a violent altercation proceeding from the adjoining cell She ran in and saw that one of the lunatics, Julia Christ, was braiuiDg her companion, Maria Otmer, with her slop pail. With , some difficulty the two maniacs were teparated, but not until Julia had indicted upon ber victim's bead a wound des tined to be fatal on account of Maria's very feeble condition. )q Monday she died from compression of the br rn. due to extravasion of blood. Anxious as Dr."McDoDald'B assistants showed themselves, as thty said under orders from tbe commissioners, to conceal all the aggravated features of the case, the affair ha 1 to be reported to the coroner's orEce.

Tilt EXODl IX HAMILTON COUNTY N'cjrw-i Roaming Oter the County Hunting Work The I.at Arrlal Sent to the Poor I'ai-in. Correspondence of tbe Sentlnehf Xobuc'vime, Ind., Jan. SI During the last two or three weeks there has been about 50 or J0 poor colored people from the South principally from North Carolina searchinn th? county for homes and laoor, but many of them have failed so far. Tbe last batch arrived this morning a family of four or live. The lady, a mothercf several cblld dren, arrived on the morning train fcick, caused by hardships ehe had to undergo on ber trip from the South in her critical condition. Tbey were til hustled off to the poor farm, lis hr husband went through the country from Indianapolis to Wes'.b'eKl to look up wori and a home, not knowing the fate of his poor wife and children. Now, to say the least, it would have looked much better for tome of those rascals who have encouraged and deluded thete poor objects of charity to have taken them in for the time being and showed some consistency and honetty. The feeliDgs apain this system of outrage will certainly loe the Radicals more votes than they will gain. It is inhuman and diabolical, and should and will be discountenanced by all honest people. t The Rose Name Writing and Darning Attachment for Sowing AI -hin-.
