Teat Garfield accepted a bribe of $5,000 to aid B.w Shepherd to obtain $3.500,000 out of the Treasury Is established beyond all con troversy. Thomas A. He-dmcks ia probably more acceptable to the South than any other man named for the Presidential nomination at Cincinnati. To make sure of Indiana in November the Convention at Cincinnati must consider the claims of Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks. A mistake in that regard may prove fatal. Akd now it ia reported that some one no one knows who wanted to make Judga Gresham a dark hors9. Tossibly Pinkerton could find the man if a suitable reward was offered. It ia a pity that such a distinguished delegate should be lost sight of. ' The." enthusiasm of the New York Times carries it no further than to predict "a probably successful campaign.", Itholds the opinion, too, that "the obstinacy of the Grant leaders saved the party Iioaa the candidacy ol Blaine, which is a service oj no Blight magnitude." The entire Rajicfi press are producing woodcuts of Garfield. No two look alike. Some look as if they had been used at old hanging matches,7 while others may have !done duty for Barnura'e advance show bills in illustrating "the finest equestrian in the world' or a favorite acrobat.

Under Democratic control of the public schools of the State, the hoop pals Counties have become well versed in all of the ele gancies of the classics. They are now fully abreast of the National Bank Counties. The New York Times refers to the Na tlonal Greenback Labor Convention, which met last' week in Chicago, as a "political orgie." It was in all regards a more respectable assemblage than the National Rj publican Convention. It had as much brains and vastly more decency, and nominated a man who, nnlike Garfield, is not charged with perjury and bribery. Gkiterai. Garfield has done many things, and done them -well. As mule driver for a canal boat, as boatman, carpenter, wood chopper, country school teacher, student, proressor, president of a college, soldier, statesman, lawyer, Congressman every position he has tilled he has filled well. Journal. SUM more. General Garfield took the bribe from Oaks Ames with an Impudent nonchalance worthy of a Louisiana liar, and was equally at home when be tcok the DeOolyer bribe of $5.000. DeGolyer Garfield haa shown himself worthy and well qualified to play Republican. ' I tit desired still more the approbation of .one person, and his name was Garfield.

'" : Tfce nominations of Laaders and Gray are the 'strongest that the Democracy could have made. The Republican papers notably the Journarof this city are trying to break their force by publishing garbled extract of the records of our candidates. ' But this will avail them nothing. Mr. Linders, the head of the ticket, is one of the best specimens of American pluck and enterprise in the State. Born poor, he bas, by industry and economy, risen to opulence. A farmer, cultivating over 3,000 acres of land, he. is a specimen of the best class of men who lay the real foundation of the wealth of the State. A merchant and a trader, he is a type of that class of men who make trade and commerce redound to the wealth and honor of the country. While ia publio life he impressed himself upon the legislation of his day. As a State Senator he took a leading part in the debates and legislation of Indiana during the most critical period of her history; and as a Representative in Congress he made a record and a reputation of which his constituents were proud. The great exi outlve talents which enable him to successfully conduct his vast and varied private interests will enable him to conduct with equal success those of the S:ate. Every man who votes for him for Governor will aid in elevating to the chief office of the State one who will honor the place, and, at the expiration of his terra of office, leave the execu tlve chair with clean hands and an untarnished reputation. Colonel Gray the nominee for Lieutenant Ctovernor, is able and plucky. He ha8 proven himself a master in parliamentary tactic?. His course ia organizing the Senate two years ago won him many friend?, and his courtesy and urbanity in pre
siding over it won him many more. The truth of the last assertion is evinced by the fact that in his contest for the Governor ship he bad the warm and active support of every Damooratlc Senator, with probably three exceptions. This he would not have received had his course as presiding Officer of ' the Ssnate not been impartial and able. Should Mr. Landers be e!e:ted Governor, and by any untoward circumstance the office should become vacant. Colonel Gray could take the place. and discharge its duties with eminent ability and with great acceptance to the public. The other nominees, with the exception of Captain Mitchell and Professor Goodwin, are the present incumbents of the offices to which they aspire. They have proven them selves "worthy and well qualified," and are eminently worthy of the indorsement which awaits them. Captain Mitchell, the noml nee for Supreme Judge of the Fifth District, is one of the ablest men north ol the Wabash River. He is in theprime of lif; his private character is above reproach, and his reputation as a lawyer is co-extensive with the boundaries of Indiana. He will honor the bench and fully sustain the character and reputation of the highest Court in the State. Professor Goodwin has a high character and will prove to be a worthy succeesor of Professor Smart, one of the ablest and best known educators in the West. Take the ticket all in all, it is unexception able, and eminently worthy of the support of every Democrat and independent man in the State. -, It will be electel by a tremendous majority, and those who don't want to be run over must get out of Us way. GARFIELD'S CRIMES. Just at this time the Republican organp, orators, officeholders, and htcgjrs-on generally, are kicking up a big dust and making a great noise over the nomination of Garfield. They are anxious to impress the people with the idea that they are not only pleased, but delighted. But clear-sighted people are not deceived by such demonstrations. In the nomination of Garfield, the Republican party has made a mistake. The people will demand something besides brass band argument and sky rocket oratory. They will soon have their fill of Gariuld's boyhood struggles and military achievements, nia speeches and his votes upon all questions will be hashed and rebashed for popular consumption. All of which i3 well enoügh, but such things will net answer the demand. Gir field Is openly charged with par jury. lie is charged with being identified witn great rascalities, and of accepting Credit Mobilier stock a bribe to influence his ac:ion as a member of Congress. The Chicago Times, in commenting upon the charges brought against Garfield, intlrrates that it is not satisfied of his guilt, and adds: But the question Is, has evidence enough been taken to create a suspicion in the minds of a consider Able number of electors, as to the integrity of Mr. Garflela's course as Chairman of the Appropriations Committee In the House of Representatives? If Mr. Garfield were on trial before a court of Justice for the offenses charged against him, It would be necessary to prove his guilt beyond the shadow of a doubt before he could be convicted I but, as a candidate before the people for the office of President it will be Incumbent upon him or his friends to prove his innocence beyond the shadow of a doubt If there is enough In the evidence brought against him to arouse suspicion in the minds of voters, it amounts to the same thing as It he were unquestionably guilty. A man's election to the Presidency of the United States is not a matter of absolute right and Justice, but a matter of choice on the part of the electors. It will not do, therefore, for the Republican party to attempt to ignore these charges or to assume without examination that they are slanders inspired by malice. They must be met and disproved. It may be urged that the charges again vj Mr. Garfield's Integrity rest wholly on the statements of coafessed corruptionlsts. The story of - his connection with the Credit Mobilier Is told by Oakes Ames, the chief corruptions of the Credit Mobilier ring.' But la It not true that the charges against Mr. Schuyler Colfax, which have been found sufficient to consign him to the limbo of discredited and disgraced politicians for many years, rest npon nothing more .than the statement of Oakes Arne, supplemented by the same little memorandum-book w hi jh testifies against Mr Garfield Bchuyler Colfax denies the charges against him as positively and explicitly as Garfied denied the like charges against htm self. Ames' testimony was equally explicit and equally well fortified with records In both cases. What was held to be sufficient to damn
.,5 i jJl if,' .i' ,-' Colfax -an not be passed over in -llcn.ee in Garfield's c.nel It Is enoneh'-to aay tbat the Credit' MoWHer. ring did exist heyoad aperad venture that it plundered tne Government and tna pharcteolders er' the TJelon Pacific Railroad Df hundreds of thousands ol dollars; that it could not possibly have done this without the complicity of 'tneraWTs of Congress, and that every member of Congress aolemnldenled any such complicity.-' Some Of them mast have lied. ;i :r '. The Republican organs" may" as well take warning no as hereafte, and gt their whitewash ready.'. Garfield's gnilt has been proved as conclusively as that of Colfax, and his disgraca. is as inevitable. .The. Credit Mobilier transaction was' a 'most infamous piece of buticeas, and Garfied waa Iito it up to hia eyes.; He accepted the bribe aad stands condemned. If the Republican party has explanations to olfjr they ara now ia order. The Times says that "the DGolyer business is perhaps the matter which most urgently demands explanation, since the charge of corruption is made raoet positively in this case, and apparently with the best foundation in evidence. Garfield certainly received $5.000 from the agent of the DeGolyeiMcClelian Paving Company, which Company made some $400,000 out of a single paving contract in Washington. For the success of t iis speculation a Congressional appropriation was necessarry, and waa obtained. Mr. Garfield himself told the Congressional In-
Instigating Committee that he took the $5,000 as an attorney's fee, but he acknowledged that he had made no argument or appearnee. exc;pt in single a brief interview with 'Boss' Shepherd, in the service of the company." It will not do for DeGolyer Garüeld or hia party to put on style and attempt to bulldoze the people. Garfield has beeh caught in ' acts notoriously infamous. The proof showing his guilt is abundant He is a candidate for President, and the people want to know just the amount and the character of crime which attaches to his record. They will insist upon it, and they will have the information in due time eo authenticated that conviction will be Inevitable. - AETHUKS H0NE"sTT. The Sentinel says "General Arthur wai removed from the collector ship of the port of New Yorlc by President Hayes because he was believed to be corrupt." This is not true, lie was removed because he was not In sympathy with the President's ideas concerning civil Kervlc reform. The President and Secretary Sherman both disclaimed any intention of rtttecilng ou the Integrity of General Arthur's administration of the offlce, and freely expressed high views of his character, and there never was tne remotest hint or the slightest whisper of corruption, against him. Jour ual. Our esteemed contemporary gushes too freely in the detense of Arthur, as the following declarations by Hayes ana Sherman demonstrate: "With a deep s.nso of my ob'ijatlons under tho Constitution, I regard It as my plain duty to suspend you in order the office may be houfcstly admtals'.ered." R. 11. Hayes to Collector Arthur, January 31, 1ST "Gross anuses of almlnistritioa hive continued and Increased during your incumbency." snerman to Collector Artnar, Jauuary öl, 1ST9. Persons have been regularly paid by you who have rendered little or no service; the expenses of yoar oftlce have iucreased, while Its receipt have diminished, ßrlbci, or gratuities in the shape of bribes have been rec.-lved by your subordinates in several branches of the Custom House, and you hve la no cae supported the trtort to correct tlis-se abuses secretary Sherman to Collector arthur, Jauuary 31, IS7U. If as the Journal says "the President disclaimed any intention of reflecting on the integrity" of Arthur, why did he say that he suspended him "t uohr thai the ojfi mmj he htiuAij (I'liMiKcn-l" "Honestly administered" mark you! And this is the man that the Indianapolis Journal and the Republican party are supporting for the Vies Presidency. The Journal was quite correct . when it said that Arthur's social standing "is such that Mr. Hendricks could never aspire to." Mr. Hendricks has a pair of clean political hands unbesmeared with customs rascalities or Credit Mobilier filth. He therefore has the entree to the society of honest and cleanhanded men, and where lints are strictly drawn, Messrs. Gartnld and Arthur will be left on the outside. GENERAL KOTES. Judge Jebemlah Black was at last accounts la Dublin and feeling very homesick. Senator Hampton estimates the strength of Eayard at Cincinnati at 130 votes on the firtt ballot. Madame Jas acschek sailed for Europe on Thursday, intending to spend the summer at Kissingen. General Hawlev finds himself unable to give his proposed commencement address at Williams College. The Kansas City Tlnie3 very humbly asks: "Will the Republican organs please tell us whether DeUollyer should be spelt with two I'd orone?-' The colored brother wa nominated as a candidate for Vice President at Chicago and received eight votes. The entering weJge Is very thin. Senatos Vance, of Xortu Carolina, is. it is rcporttd, about to be married to a lady of Louisville, Ky. Senator Ransom and ' ferro Gordo" Williams wiU attend him to the altar. Katk Field fays that the late Mr. Lewes was the ugliest maa 6he ever saw, and an exchange says that perhaps Miss Field Is like the spinster who thought no man ugly until after he was married. CoLONEi. Okdway, the new Governor of Dakota, Is an exceedingly tall persoa, broadshouldered and hands3mB, with iroT gray hair and beard, a pair of soft, kindly, black eyes and a lrank smile. Mr. Macrice Barri vork, the principal witness of the assassination of Mr. Porter by Carrie, the Texas desperado, has been provided with means to appear as a witness, and will go South ia time to be present at the trial. Field-Marshal Halstead says in his paper, the Cincinnati Commercial: "As for the Republican platform, w find it tedious, and have not had time to read it through. As a matter of curiosity perhsps we may peruse it some day next winter." 1 ' Says the Sheloyville Democrat: ' Hon William H. English, the newly elected Chairman of the Democratic Sta e Central Committee, fills the bill In every particular. No better selection could have ben made. He Is in favor of an aggressive campaign."

He entered the ttenute in April, 1806. He was appointed , the successor of th venerable Solomon Fooe, and his first publio remarks were made on the occasion of the delivery of the ealogles oa that venerated and popular man. - That clever and energetic lady. Miss Kate Field, will sail for England on Saturday la the Spain.- Kne returns in September to fulfill her platform engagements, aud to set In working erder the Ladle's Dress Association which, it is pleasant to hear, already promises to be a great success. The lateta accetsloa to tbe ranks of the Association Is Mrs. Millard Filmore, who takes a particular Interest In Its intentions in regard to American manufactures. Make Twain acted as auctioneer at the last sale of the Bzaar, which closed very successfully In Hartford, Conn,, last Saturday evening. In openiog the.aie he said: "Well, now, arter a week of work by these ladies, who have handled an immense amountfof money without putting a penny in their private pockets, 1, their mere clerk, propose, as clerks will sometimes, to 'knock down' something." Of the late Henry 8. Foote a friend writes that in spite of the repute of dcelest and des perado, he was one of the most kind-hearted, genial and gentle of men refined and courtly in manner, a perfect chevalier. He never touched wine nor cards, and he never indulged In ribaldry and blasphemy. He expressed once the most profound regret that he had ever participated in a duel, and condemned the code aa a relic of barbarism, deserving the execration of all rlghtmaklng men. . Governor Marks, of Tennessee, says that it Is possible that the State debt miy become a dlsturbh question In the Democratic party ; but, until Democrats are willing to let the Democratio party die, it is impossible for that question to divide or destroy It. The Issue the Demociatlc party makei with the Republic a party on this question, he adds, Is thatth people of Tennessee are, and of right ought to be, free, and that they have the power, and ought to continue to have the power, to control this question In their own way, free from Federal dictation. A correspondent dating from the Chicago Convention thus describes Prince Leopo'd as lie appeared there: "He was dressed in a delicate light gray and almost lavender smallchecked suit. The coat Is a double breasted Jacket, buttoned high, with a button-hole bouquet ou the lappel; his neck tie, a polkadotted maroon, ornamented with a small gold pin; Ms collar, a genuine English riccadllly; his hat, a low-crowned brown Derby. In his right hand he carried a slender cane, and on the fingers of his left hand when he stroked his mustache were observed a' number of gold rings, embossed, jeweled and enameled." Campbell, of West Virginia, who attracted some attention at Chlcxg) became he was a "kicker," said, In referring to Mr. Arthur: "Let us not do a rash thing la this Convention. The Convention has passed a resolution favoring civil servlca reform. Lt us cot stultify ourselves before the country. Let us remember that the people will review our action ca'mly and coolly by their firesides." This becomes extremely Interesting when, in the face of this warning, the Convention nominated him, thus insulting Mr. Hayes and Secretary Sherman as well as the Independent Republicans of New York and Massachusetts. That party will hear from the country plainly enough In the next rive months.
Mr. Tilden's Chances. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. . To console those timid people who still think that the Democratic party will go to Cincinnati for the purpose ot committing tuicide, we will review the Democratic situation. Nearly all the delegates are now elected. Though most of them are uninstructed and Lave different preferences, their position on the Tilden question can bs put down with reasonable certainty. It may notbs clear who tho majority is lor, but it is quite clear that it is against Tilden. As Burning that Tilden's name will be presented at Cincinnati which we seriously doubt the line will be drawn precisely as it was at Chicazo the field against Grant the field against Tildeo. The following estimate has but one error it invariably gives the benefit of every doubt to Mr, Tilden and treats his possible strength with the utmost generosity: AntiTil ien. Tiiden.

The estimate ia most liberal to him In many respects. We have allowed him the entire seventy votts from New York, and allowed him many delegates from other States whose votes he never will get, simply to be on the safe side. With a'l this be has only 204 votes, while there will be a field against htm ot 531 votes; 492 are necessary for a two-thirds majority, or 120 more than were necessary for the simple majority at Chicago. To ns it seems utter blindness to talk about Mr. Tilden's nomination. Even if he had 100 votes .more than we have allowed him, he would still be 190 votes snort of a nomination. . We believe that when the Convention assembles at Cincinnati the situation will become bo clear that Mr.. Tilden's friends will not present his name at all. It is not improbable that the noble example ot the chivalrous ' Bayard, who haa already announced that his name will not be presented if Horatio Seymour will accept, will be followed by the friends of Governor Hendricks, General Hancosk, Senator Thurman and Judge .Field who are the only real candidates and that Horatio Seymour will be. as he should be, nominated by acclamation.
ÜARFIHLD IMPALED!
He is.Desouncad as a Bribe-Taker and Corruptioaist by a Republican Coa- . Yentioa in Hii Orti Disuict. A Chapter for Honest Kepuhlicans to Read. f The Poland report of the Credit Mobilier briberies was made in 1873. In 1874 Garfield received nomination for-re-election 1 1 hie District the. Ashtabula District of Oaio, where the : Republicans have always numbered two to one against all opposition. He had the party, like a machine, at hia back, right or wrong, bat there were honest and indignant Republicans enough to ran Mm 2.892 behind Wikoff. the Republican candidate for Secretary of State. In 187ö, still controlling the machine, he again received nomination, and was acain ran behind his ticket, tnis time 1,748, ia the important Presidential canvass when the party lashwhipped in many who in off years would have bolted. And this time the Republicans of his District who could neither be coaxed nor coerced to support a brike-taker held Convention and took open ground aeainst him. We reproduce the record: On the 7th day of September, 1ST, the Republicans of the Nineteenth CongreMxional Dun net ol Onlo opposed to the return of Jam es A. Garfield to Congress met ia Convention at Warren, O , and organized by electing Dr. C. W. Ensign, of Lake, for Chairman, and L. D, Brown, of Portage, and George K. Paine, of Like, Secretaries. Ou motion ti. N. Tuttle and J. B. Burrows, of Lake, li. F.Perry, of Ashtabula: L. D. Brown, of Porutge. and C. D. Crary. of Lake, were cho-en a Committee on resolutions, and H. H. Hine, William . Hulett, P. Boswortb, J. S Casement, B. F. Perry and lt. M. Murray, were appointed a Committee on Conference for Representative. This Committee on Resolutions, after a long whereas, (aid: Therefore. Br- it by this independent Convention or the It publicans of tbe .Nineteenth Congressional L.Airlct of Ohio resolved, 1. That dishonesty, iraud and corruption have become so common, notorious and obvi ous m tu Buniiaisirauon or our National Government as tobe not only humiliating and disgraceful in the estimation of every honest and intelligent citizen, but to imperil the prosperity of the people it not the stability ot the Government itself. 2. That this deplorable condition of theadmln is trn Hon of our National Government is largely due to the ejection to orHc, and continuance therein, of corrupt, dishonest and venal men. 3. That it is useless and hypocritical for any political party to declare for reform in its platforms, papers and public addresses while it insists in reluming to hlghofflcUl place and power men who have been notoilousiy connected with the very schemes or fraud whlcu render reform necessary and urgeut; that to send those to enact reform who themselves need rt forming to make them honest, is worse than setting the blind to leal the blind. 4 Jhat there is no man to dar official'y connected with the administration of our Natloual Government against whom arejttly preferred more and graver charges ot corruption tuan are publicly made au-i abundantly sustained against James A. Garfield, tbe present representative of this Congressional District and the nominee ot the Republican Convention for re-electton. 6. That since he first entered Congress to this day there is scarcely an Instance iu which rings aud monopolies have been arrayed against the Interests of the people, that he'haa been found active in speech or voce upon tne side of the latter, but iu almost every case he has beep the ready champlen of the rings and monopolies . ihat we especially charge him with ve nality and cowardice in permuting Benjamin F. Butler to attach to the appropriation bill of 1873 that ever-to-be remembered Infamy the Balary Steal ; and In speaking and votlug lor that measure upon us final passage. And charge him with corrupt disregard of the c early -ex pressed demand of his constituents that he should vote tor its repeal aud with evading said demand uy voting lor the Hutchinson amendment. 7. To at we farther arraign ard denounce him for his corrupt connection with the Credit Mobilier, for his raise denials tnereof before bis constituents, lor his perjured denial thereof before a Committee of his pters in Congress, for fraud upon his constituents In circulating among them a pamphlet purporting to set forth the finding of said Committee and tbe evidence against him, when in fsct material portions thereof were omitted and garbled. 8. That we further arraign and charge him with corrupt bribery in selling his orticiaMnnuence as Onlrnian of the Committee on Apprlation s for 55,000 to the DeGolyer Pavement riot?, to aid them in securing a contract from the Board of Public Woras of the District ot Columbia; selling his Influence to aid said Kiug In imposing upon the people oft aid District a pavement which is almost worthless, at a price three times its cost, as sworn to by one of the contractors; selling his Influence to aid said ring in procuring a contract, to procure whlc'i it corruptly pard !fT,J00 '-for influence-" selling bis influence In a matter that involved no question of law, upon the shallow pretext that he was acting as a lawyer: celling nis lnflue nee in a manner so palpable audcUaraa lo be so found and declared by aü impartial and competent Court upon an 1-ssue solemnly tried. 8. That we arraign him for tbe fraudulent manner la which he attempted in his speech delivered at Warren, on the lü.h day or September, 1874, to i-hie Id himself from just censure In receiving the before named S'j.UWJ, by falsely representing, in said speech, that the Congress of the United mates were not rwipnuMöle for the acts of said Board, nor I be United Slates liable for the debts created thereby, when In truth and In fact, as he then well knew, the said Board of Public Works aud the officers of atd District were but the agents and instruments of Congress and the United States was responsible for the Indebtedness by them created. 10. That we arraign him for gross derelic tion ol duty as a member of Congress in failing to bring to light and expose tbe corruption and abuse in the sale of pot-t IraUersülps, tor which the late Secretary Belknap was impeached, when the fame was brought to his knowledge by General Hazen, in IH72, and can only accouut for it urxn the supposition that his mauhooi was debauched by the corruption tunas then by him just received and iu his own purse. II. That the law of 1873, known as the net demonetizing silver, was enacted in the Interest of gold rlttgs, bondholders and capitalists and against the interest of the tax pavers and without their advice or knowledgd. That this act, by a skulle blow, has seriously crippled our power to resume specie payments or pay our National debt in coin. That no sufficient reason has yet been given for this legislation, so dishonest and palpable in Its discrimination In f vor ol the mall creditor class and capitalists and agsinstthe great debtor class and the industrial interests or the country. That James A. Garfield during the last session of Congress was the conspicuous defender of this craity attempt to sacrifice the interests of the people to bond holders and foreign capitalists. That when it was proposed to restore the old sliver dollar to the place it had held during our history aa a Nation as a legal tender for all debts, public and private, he denounced the attempt as "a swindle on so grand a scale as to make the achievement Illustrious" and as a "scheme of vast rascality and colossal swindling." III.

Th.t believing the statements in the foregoing resolutions set forth, we can not, without stultifying our manhood and debasing our seit-respect, support at the polls the nominee of the Republican Convention of this District for re-election, nor can we, without surrendering our rights as electors and citizens, sit silently by aod see a man so an worthy again cent to represent ns in the National Legislature. That strong in tne conviction of right, we call upon the electors of the District, irrespective ot former or present party attachment, who desire honest government, to unite with us In sn earnest, faithful effort to defeat the re election of General Garfield, and elect in his stead an honest and reliable man. A Splendid Thing For Farmers. Our attention has been called .to tbe "Universal Sickle Grinder," a new machine for sharpening the knives of Reapers and Mowers, and which eclipses eyerything for that4urpoee we have ever seen. It comes here very highly indorsed by some of the most prominent farmers In New England, among them Governor Garcelon, of Maine. Every farmer in Indiana should have one of these machines. They are manufactured by Alfred T. Smkar, at 74 Sjuth Pennsylvania street, Indianapolis. Address him for further information.
