Tue infamous Kellogg is likely to diegraca the Senate of he United States to the end of his term. The questions, bow much money did Hon. John C. New, Chairman of the Republican Central Committee, get from the Exodus fand: and was he honestly entitled to what he did et? are now up for discussion. The Chicago Tribune shakes a red rag at the Grant bull in Illinois when it says that the Blaine and Washburne men of that city will defeat every State officer who shall ac cept a nomination from the hands of a Con vention which shall reject its friends, the regular delegation to the State Convention. This bullyln threat, which the Tribune does not mean at all, was the one thing nec essary to solidify the Grant forces, and al most compel them to admit their own friends from Chicago, either as a whole or with their proportion of the votes. To Democrats, the situation is a very interesting one. The Germans have a way of enforcing the laws which is not known in the United States. As an evidence of this it is stated that a curiosity dealer found among the odds and ends of his stock quaint old tinder box shaped like a pistol, and concluded to place the relic at once in the Provincial Museum. So, placing the tinder box in his pocket, he started out on his commendable mission, but hardly had he turned the cor ner of his street when hand grasped his shoulder, and a gruff voice bade him hie to the police station, there to answer to the serious charge of "carrying arms without a permit." Bismarck's police never sleep. Ox the 15th mat. Hon. Wm. M. Springer devoted one hour to Godlove S. Orth on the Venezuelan fraud business. Orth invited the attention of Mr. Springer. If he is not sorry for it, from his scalp to his toe-nails, then he must be insensible to the most ter rible excoration of facts that was ever in flicted upon mortal man. It was terrible throughout It left Orth without anything to stand on, or to hold onto. It left him in a worse condition than when he was pulled from the head of the republican ticket by his party in Indiana. We shall take an early opportunity to place before our read en the explanation of Mr. Springer. That done, Orth disappears. There seems to be a dispute as to whether Easter Sunday, A. D. 325, occurred on the 13th or 19th of April. A writer in the XewYork Journal of Commerce says that "the year c( the Council of Nice, A. D. 323, was the third year of a lunar cycle, and the Golden Number was IIL The Sunday etter of that year was C. With these data and the Kalendar of the Triune Church, which is found in the invaluable work of Dr. Jartis, 'The; Chronological Introduction to the History of the Church,' before us, we find that the full moom of Nisan was on the 31st of March, and consequently the fourteenth of the moon on the 13th of April, and E&ster was on the next following Sunday, the 18th of ApriL" The question, however, is not settled, and it will never be decided in a way satisfactory to those who are fond of quibbling on such matters. Wa see it stated that forty-four years ago the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church met in Cincinnati. That was in 183C At that time the membership of the Church numbered 650,000. Daring the session two members of .the Conference were raked over Jhe coals for lecturing on the subject of slavery, and as a result the following declarations were adopted by almost a unanimous vote of the Conference: 1. Tbat they disapprove. In tne most unqualified sense, the conduct of two members of theOeneral Conference, who are reported to have lectured in this city recently upon and In favor of modern abolitionism. 2. That they are decidedly opposed to modern abolitionism, and wholly disclaim any right, wish or Intention to interfere In the civil and political relation between master and slave as It exists In the slave-holding States of this Union. The years have rolled on, and the probabilities are that the delegates to that Conference are now all tn their graves, and with the years the necessity for such declarations has also been buried. The Methodist ministers, at their regular weekly meeting yesterday, discussed the relationship of a minister of the Gospel to politics. From the report of the meeting, which we puDlish elsewhere, we gather that the discussion was a profitable and pleasant one. It was resolved to be Inexpedient for a pastor to take party polities into his pulpit, and arjrue political points as they are argued on the stump. We notice, with pleasure, that our old friend Dr. Baylies "deprecated party politics in the pulpit" . This is a timely and Important conversion, and we hasten to congratulate the good Doctor ' on the rapid advance that he has made since the political campaign of recent years. This discussion of the Methodist clergy comes at a Try seasonable time, and we congratulate them Try siaoerely oq the so and concla-

The New York World, in a late issue, has an article captioned "Mr. Bayard and the 8outh," in which it says: Now that Massachusetts, by eighteen out of twenty-one Democratic delegates to Clncln nati, has deliberately put Senator Bayard for ward as the first choice for the Presidency of the great Republican State in which tbe enlightened sentiment of both of the great parties has most clearly and vigorously repo. d la ted both Grant Ism and TildenlBm.lt be comes a matter of grave importance that the olid South should show the North distinctly what it thinks and feels about such a Democratic candidacy. It so happens that Massachusetts is not a Democratic State and never was a Democratic 8 täte. No State in the Union is more uncompromisingly wedded to its Republican idols than Massachusetts, and it is therefore not a little surprising that the World should so continuously and persistently urge the South to nominate a candidate for President to gratify Massachusetts. We are not disposed to underrate the patriotism or 8fgft;ity of the South, nor are we aware that the South has taken special pains to antagonize tbe Democratic party of the North; on tbe contrary, the records go to show that the Democratic party now, as ever, is National, regarding all sections as equally entitled to all the rights and privileges guaranteed by the Con stitution, and we are Impressed with tbe belief that the South will readily harmonize in Convention with Democrats of every other section of the country. We respect the opinions of Democrat) of Massachusetts as we do the opinions of Democrats of other States no more, no less. Massachusetts Democrats are, however, in a helpless con dition. They can not cast one electoral vote, nor the half of one. This being true, we fail to see why the South should be specially called upon to give such undue weight to Massachusetts as the World so dogmatically demands. Indiana is a vastly more important State to the Democratic party than Massachusetts. Why not ask the Democrats of the South to turn their atten tion to Indiana? Indiana will name Mr. Hendricks at Cincinnati as a candidate for President Mr. Hendricks can carry In diana. The South wants success. Mr. Hendricks is the most available man now tefore the Democratic party for tbe nomination. Fortunately, Mr. Hendricks is popular In the Soutb. He would be emi nently acceptable to the Democrats of that section, while, as the World Intimates, Mr. Bayard's position is debatable. Mr. Hendricks is pre eminently distinguished as a statesman of broad National views, which, reaching beyond sections, embrace the whole country. His administration would be as true to the interests of the Eist as to the West, North or South, and this .fact is not controverted even by his political opponents. Here, then, are reatons why it would be far better for the Southern dele gates in the Convention to turn their atten tion to Indiana rather than to Massachusetts. For our part, we are not inclined to be skeptical with regard to the action of the South. Indiana able to help Southern Democrats out of any doubts they may entertain with regard to the success of the party, and we are disposed to believe that as between Indiana and Massachusetts, Indiana will be likely to receive such consideration as is due her Democratic strength. WaiTTAKER'S EARS. Taking into consideration the whole case the West Point school, the army officers in control, their character and standing, Whittaker and his antecedents, the trial and its prominent features, and in all the archives of the world - nothing so supremely offensive, ridiculous and contemptible as the Whittker case' pan be found. As a joke, a hoax, a canard, and a combination of lies, it will take' first place and hold it for centuries. Nothing like it ever occurred before, and it is not probable will ever occur a sain. A miserable South Carolina negro was placed in the Military Academy of the Nation, simply because he was a negro. He is found wanting in ability, and, therefore, to obscure the lack of capacity, the black scamp proceeds deliberately to mutilate his own ears, to forga notes of warning, to cast oiium upon the military school, und to bring Into disrepute men of unquestioned honor and probity. Sensible men, from the first, have believed Whittakef guilty of being his own mutilator, and now it turns out that he is the author of tbe note of warning to himself, and at this point the whole case goes to the dogs. In a moment of haste Congress went Off half-cocked, as it were. The Military Academy was denounced, and appropriations were withheld and all because the negro Whittaker had concluded to make hims9lf infamous. Army officers of the highest character have been denounced, and a school, whose fame is known In all civilized lands has been assailed with a degree of bitterness rarely witnessed, even when facts were clearly established. It will likely occur to a good many that the negro Is not the best material at hand out of which to manufacture army officers, and if the miserable Whittaker case impresses the fact upon the public mind, the lies and forgeries and self mutilation of tbe negro Whittaker may be of some benefit to the country. EON. WM. H. ENGLISH. A statement from this gentleman appeared in the Cincinnati Commercial of yestaday, which clearly defines bis position in relation to the use of his name for a place on the Presidential ticket in antagonism to Governor Hendricks, and ought to put all doubta and suspicions upon that point forever to rest He says: In a letter In yesterday's Commercial you allude to me as being a candidate for the nomination lor Vice President, and several other thin kk. I wish to say I am not a candidate for the Vice Presidency. I never have been a candidate, don't want to be a candidate, and don't expect to be a candidate, and all the gossip la the newspapers and otherwise about my as pi ring to a place on the Presidential ticket with Samuel J. Tilden, or any other man, Is utterly unfounded. If I knew any way to make this more emphatic and quiet these rumors, I would do so. I am not a candidate for any office, and there are precious few I would accept, even if tendered without my seeking. I have enough of my own business to employ all my time more profitably and pleasantly than in office seeking; or oiSoe holding. My name shall not be used in the Cincinnati Convention In antagonism to Governor Hen-dxlck-s with inj coase&t. Neither am I a can

has bean charged In the Commercial, and an lar as 1 am concerned, I am In perfect accord with my party In the County and Bute, and expect to remain so. Aa far as I know, there i perfect harmony among Che leaders of the dldate for delegate at large from this State, as Indiana Democracy, and there bt no reason wny this ii trmony should notconttnue. There may be a few surface politicians who imagine there ii some discord, or would like to make some, but tr re Is no cause for divisions, and there will be none. In my Judgment there is no doubt of the success of the party upon a platform of sound principles principles shoull

stand paramount to every oilier consideration. It Is known to the Sentinel that Mr. English has occupied this petition all the time, and that he has been misunderstood and misrepresented in certain quarters, mainly because of the extensive publication of a biographical sketch of his lie and the fact that his name bas been favorably mentioned in many papers for a place on the Presidential ticket No statement made in that sketch is discredited or contradicted. It shows a public and private record without a blemish services to the State, to tbe country and to the Democratic party tbat should command the willing approval of all good citizens, and especially of all good Democrats. The fact that Mr. English's name has been mentioned in connection with the Democratic Presidential ticket is not only creditable to him, but to tbe Democratic party and to the State of Indiana as well. Mr. English recogmzjs the claims of Mr. Hendricks before the National Democratic Convention. He is for Mr. Hendricks as long as the Democracy of Indiana Is for him. He fully understands and appreciates the relations between Mr. Hendricks and the Democratic party of Indiana. Democrats should hesitate to directly or remotely aid Republican conspirators to divide or distract the Daniocratio party. We want every Democrat on duty, and every dollar that can be honorably raised for the coming campaign. We want the brain power of the party, and the money power of the party. We want the .entire organizing ability of the party the hearty co-operation of every Democrat Anything lets, foreshadows defeat; with unity, harmony and zeal, success is assured CIVIL SERVICE PLUNDER. It Is understood that as the result of fraud, forgery and perjury, R. B. Hayes isn the White House. He has no more right to the place he befouls than a foot-pad has to the swag he has obtained by bludgeoning his victim on the highway. His position, however, gives him and the party that placed him in power, in defunce of the will of the American people, the controls of about 100,000 officeholders, and these officeholders are required to contribute, from their silaries, certa'n amounts to supply the Republican party with funds to corrupt the ballot-box and perpetuate the power of the Rspublican party. As an evidence of this, we print the following circular, addressed to a postmaster, who has kindly furnished it from whom $20 is wanted for the corruption fund: Headquarters of the ") Republican Cong regional Committe, 'k 1.-517 F Street, Northwest, Washington, D. C, April 19, 18s0. ' J Sir This Committee is organized for the protection of the interests of the Republican party In each of the Congressional Dial ricts of the Union. In order tnat It may prepare, print, and circulate suitable document illustrating the Issues which distinguish the Republican party from every other, and may meet ail proper expenses incident to the campaign, the Committee feels authoiized to apply to ail citizens whose Interests or principles are involved In the struggle. Under the circumstances la which the country rinds itself placed, the Committee believes that yoa will esteem it both a privilege and a pleasure to make to Its fund a conti lbutlon, which, 11 Is hope J, may not be less than $20. The Committee Is authorized to state that such voluntary contribution from persons employed in tbe service of the United States will not be objected to in any official quarter. The labors of tins Committee will affect tbe result of the Presidential as well as the Congressional struggle; and it may, therefore, reasonably hope to have the sympathy and assistance of all who look, with dread, upon the possibility of the res'.onvtloaof the Democratic m"z 13 iue control of the Government. Please make prompt und favorable response to this letter by bank check or draft, or postal money order, payable to the order of Oeorge b'rr. Dawson, Treasurer, P. O. Lock Box 7rf, Washington, D. C. By order of the Committee, Edward McPhersos, Secretary. There are in the United States about 40,000 postoffices; if each postmaster is asssssed $20 the contributions from this department alone will reach the sum of $300,000. But the large offices will not bs let off at $20, and it is therefore sate to say that the postoffi see will be required to hand over at least $1 000, 000 for theRepublican corruption fund for the campaign of 18S0. Then comes the Interior, the Army, the Naval and the Treasury Departments; all will have to contribute, and all have, doubtless, long ere this received notifications to pay. Demosrats ma well afford to study such documents as we print to-day. Manifestly, the National Banks have also been assessed, and will contribute largely. Everybody, from a Bank President to a corridor sweeper; from Hayea himself to the lowest scullion, will be required to contribute. Every Marshal and Deputy Marshal, and every Judge ct a Federal Court will contribute to swell the Republican corruption fund. The Republican party is playing a desperate game. Lies and frauds, forgeries and per juries will again be ntilizsd. To beat the combination will require of the Democrat o party solidity, harmony, organizition and work. In no State will the fiht be fiercer than in Indiana, and the fact should be nn. derstood. UENEKAL NOTES. The streets of Philadelphia are to be swept by convicts. The quantity of cotton consumed in 1878 was fifty-four times greater than 1778. There are said to be at this moment more editors In than out of prison in Russia. The movement of grain from Michigan the present year bat teen exceptionally large. Colosel Ingersoll says any Democrat mentioned thus far would defeat John Sherman for President. It Is likely that when General Joe Johnston retires from Congress he will resume the Insurance business in Richmond. The Pullman Car Company has Just closed a 1275,003 black walnut lumber contract, the largest bard-wood lumber purchase ever made in Detroit. The Wisconsin Democratic Convention, Just held, did not instruct 1U delegates, but they are understood to ba antl-Tilden and favorable to Seymour. " - PosTMASTT.n James, of New York, declines the honor of an appointment as Postmaster General on the retirement of Judge " Key. Horace Maynard Is suggested äs the man now In the President's eye. ' ' ' Joseph Emm ett's spree In Pittsburg will cost him 85,000. Nearly all of the seats were sold for a week of his performances at tbe Opera H?use, and the house had to be cloted, k)

money being refunded. Persuasive efforts did

not avail, and he was sent to a hospital, where lie was put into condition to act daring the ensuing week. . The exports of grain from Russia during the months of January and February were 1,(99,000 quarters below those of the corresponding period 1S70 a decrease of 37 per centum. Bark cm won a glorious victory In Springfield. A clergyman who had been a missionary In South Africa tested the Zulu by ad dressing them In their native tongue, and found them genuine. Jcdge H. V. Johssos and Joshua Hill, of Georgia, are mentioned as possible PostmasterGenerals. Judge John sou is a very conserva tive man, and Mr. Hlil was a Union man throughout the war. An agent of Massachusetts mills, while hiring hands near Montreal, rejected one man bacause only men with families were taken. The man In rage assaulted the agent, who shot him, probably fatally. The Montreal Witness says that the exodus of laborers has had a tendency to raise wages In tbat city, that laborers are now getting ft per day, at against 75 cents, and evenle6s. In the corresponding period last year. Thrke platoons of policemen were neces sary to keep the Blaine and Grant men from fighting at the County Convention in Chicago. Now, bow many regiments will be necessary to keep them from killing each other at the National Convention? r During lh9 nearly a quarter of a million head of livestock were exported from the United States, aggregating In value over 11,C0,000. This is not a b.-il ihowing for a branch of trade which five years ago could scarcely be 6aid to have an existence. a. drunk APD nea into the woods, near Nashville, Tenn., while wild with delirium tremens, dug a grave, and was found lying in it dead. His wife was made frantic by the sight, and she loully called upon Heaven to let her die too. It happened that on her way home lightning struck and killed her. AN old Episcopalian prayer-book was sold recently at auction in New York. It was pub lished by William Bradford In 1710. It is prob able that this copy is the only one of this edition now In existence. It was bought for S3T0. At the time It was printed It Is probable that what is now the great State of New York did not contain over 20,000 white inhabitants. and the typographic art was in Its Infancy. A Savannah paper rejoices in the rapid In crease of the vegetable trade of Southern Georgia and Florida. A few years ago, It says a lew hundred crates were considered a large ihipment, and now the exports are counted by the hundred carloads and shiploads. Oae day last week ten car loads of vegetables, nearly all cucum bers, arrived over the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway, and were shipped to New York. Tennyson, who looks "old and exhausted," lssa'.d recently to hve told a story of a drunken man whom he met reeling along the road. The fellow came up to him and said : "Mr. Tennyson, If you will shake hands with me I swear by God Almighty I won't touch liquor again." The poet shook hands as re quested, but afterward remarked dryly, "1 am afraid I didn't do any good." Miss Lillie Wilkinson, of Wilkinson's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Compiny, cast asid an old corset at a hotel in Holly, Mich, on the U.th nit., and had been away from that town a week before she recalled the fact that $50 in greenbacks was stitched Into that article of apparel. When she remembered this, a mem ber ot the Company was dispatched post baste to Holty, and was luoky enough, after digging over a lot of rubbish In the hotel yard, to find the corset and cash all right . The late wife of President Diaz, of Mexico, is deeply mourned all over that country. She was one of the purest, noblest and most amiable of women. During the past three years Mrs. Diaz has been an invalid, and has rarely entered society, but she was highly re spected and sincerely beloved for her gentle, charitable and irreproachable character. Although young and beautiful, and of such high position, she preferred home to. all social allurements, was a devotel wife and mother, and singularly modest and unassuming. It Is forty days too late to talk about Easter eggs, but still a basket of six that were pre pared for an American bride-elect in Paris must have been worth seeing. They were contained in a basket made up of twigs of gilt, fastened with apparent carelessness, and there M ere six of them. One was of Ivory, another of ebony, and tbe rest were of boxwood, sandalwood, coral and shell, and all were carved, and each held one piece of a set of pearl and sapphire jewelry. Over the eggs lay red and yellow tulips, a knot of six birds were perched on the bandle, and a red and yellow bow, about which was gathered enough Aiencon for a colalr and sleeves, was on the other side of the handle. Fbeemax, the Adventist, who killed his child at Poc asset, Mass., about a year ago, was formally recommitted to the Dan vers (Mass.) Insane Asylum on Wednesday. During his confinement there he has gained ten pounds, and la In excellent physical health. He Js generally cheerful and hopeful, but Is disinclined to talk on matters personal to himself. He maintains that be Is not Insane. He makes lent It to her. She testified that, by the terms of a mutual agreement, she was to pay for the Jewelry by kissing Mr. Eddy every morninS for a hundred days. He called and got his kiss, on his way to work, every day for about a month. Then he grew bold, and wanted to take a hug as well as a kl."s. There was no provision in the birgaln for hugging, and she repulsed him, even restricting his kisses to a mere touch of his lips to her chesfc. He thought he was being cheated, and hence his effort to recover. Duriwq a recent performance In the Teatro del Circo, at Madrid, a madmen forced his way Into the bouse, armed with a hatchet. andcontiived to climb from the auditorium upon the stage, where, brandishing his weapon furiously, he announced himself to the terrified ' audience aa "The Avenger of Mankind." All attempts to remove bim having proved In vain, and his fury momen tarily iiicreaslug, a detachment of soldiers rec Jived the orlerto load with ball and fire upon him. A minute later the wretched man lay a corpse" upon -the stage, three bullets having passed through bis head; and, this highly sensational dramatic eplsoie having been thus brought to a close, the audience re turned to their places, from which they had fled in tsrror when the madman made his first and last appearanco upon the sta and tbe evening's performances were resumed at tbe point at which they had been interrupted by Mankind's Avenger." An adventurer, fishing for gudgeons, ba'd his hook in Chicago, last week, by signing the register of the hotel under the style ot"lxrd C. Pelham Clinton." Within two hours he had a bite, and hooked two members of the Chicago Club, who took him over to the house in tbe evening and set before him a splendid dinner, wine included. 'Whether he asked for a loan until his remittance' arrived la un known ; perhaps not, aa the acquaintance was too short for such presumption. ' But he wool! doubtless have done so had not his stay been shortened by his recognition as a confidence operator. As soon as 'Lord Clinton" discov ered that the hotel people knew him, he paid his bill and departed. In January last ha turned op in Richmond, Va., ae Lord A rundet" There he made the acquaintance Of an

excellent family, who introduced him into society. He obtained loans from, several gentlemen, coorted half a dozen young ladies, became engaged to one, and was about to marry her when his character was found out. Rather than be locked up, he left the city without hie baggage, walking out of town. A Pomeranian Lieutenant of Landwehr cavalry and a Bileslan student, both giants In stature and bulk, stalked Into Land yogi's restaurant In Berlin, one afternoon in March, and called in stentorian tones for respective mugs of Pilsener and Munehener beer. Of tbe foaming contents ot these vessels they promptly disposed by the so-called "cowswalliw" method. . When they called for their bills, three and a half hours later, it was found the Pomeranian Lieutenant had absorbed sixty-seven pints of Pilsener, while his 8ilesian fellow-soaker had only succeeded in furnishing accommodation for fifty-four. Whejt the eloquent Bishop Simpson, of the Methodist Church, first entered the ministry he was, from his basbfulness, almost unable to speak; but be sought to forget himself, to be simple, aud to impress the truth upon his hearers, lie Is now in his seventieth year. Last Sunday the tall, awkward, white haired mau, in a sermon, said: Voltaire said he lived in the twilight of Christianity, and so he did. But it was not, as he landed it, twilight deepening Into darkness, but twilight opening up a new and brighter day and the Sun of Righteousness is shining now In supreme beauty over our world." Claude, the famous head of the detective police of Paris is dead. The arrest of CharbeatltT, cashier of the Northern Railway, who fled from Paris to New York, made his name familiar in this country. He was famous in Paris for his arrest of Troppman, Avniar, Glraud de Gatehourse, and other noted criminals. In 1S73, after thirty years' service, he retired on a well-earned pension. He thought of writing his memoirs. He could tell tales of high and low degree. For Instance, one day a Duke sent for him ; Jewels, silver, silver plate disappeared rapidly from the house. WTatch was kept for six months; the thief could not be detected. No wonder. The thief was the Duchess, who stole to pay her milliner's and mantau maker's blU. The Eureka (Nev.) Leader of April 17 re

lates another miner's experience, showing tbat earthquake shocks are not felt very far below trie surface of the ground. Thla miner said tbat on the occasion of the last thake at Secret Canon, be was at work In a mine on Prospect Mountain, and although the tremor was plainly felt by his partners on the surface, he, at a deptli of eighty feet, noticed nothing unusual. He also said that through an experience of iiftoen years under ground, he had observed one very peculiar fact that between the hours of 12 and 2 at night, if there was a loose stone or hit of earth In the mine it was sure to fall. Said he: "About this time it seems that everything begins to stir, and Immediately after 12, although the mine has been as still as the tomb before, you will hear little particles of rock and earth come tumbling down, and If there is a caving piece of ground in the mine it is sure to give way." OBITUARY. BON. BERNARD H. FLODDER. We are sorry to annoucce the death of Hon. B. H. Flodder, member of the last Legislature and renominated for the next. His disease was typhoid fever. He died at Oldenburg, Franklin County, on Monday last. He was born in Hamilton County, Ohio, July 15, 1817, and came to Indiana in 1867, settling at OldenDurg, wnere nis lather was running a woolen mill. After six years of successful business relations, the father died, leaving I'.arnard to carry on the business, which he did success fully. Mr. f lodder served three terms as Township Trustee; Clerk of the Corporation for five years: one term as member of the Town Council, and one term in the State Leg islature. Mr. t lodder was a modest, unas suming, energetic gentleman, and a faithful public servant. The sentinel chronicles his death in the very midst of his best years and usefulness wiin great regret.
