We call attention to the exceedingly cheap rates of the campaign Weekly Sentinel. Single copies for the campaign only forty cents. For larger quantities see oar prospectus, published elsewhere in this paper. Make up your clubs immediately. Tbk late Mr. Delane, of the London Times, used to say that an editor's genius is shown more by what he leaves oat than by what be pats Into his paper. Hancock beat Longstreet at Gettysburg, capturing 5,000 of his .corps, the flower of the Rebel army, and Hancock will now triumph over Longstreet, Mosby & Co. in time of peace as well as in war. The Journal asserts that "daring a recent visit to Viccennes Mr. Franklin Landers conducted himself in a grossly discreditable manner and disgusted many decent Democrats." Mr. Landers' offense was the making of an able and slashing speech, in which the Republican leaders were handled without gloves. It was Republicans, and not Democrats, who were "disgusted" with Mr. Landers' actions at Yincennes. Me. Lakbebs was born within twenty miles of this city, and has lived in this neighborhood all his life. His character for morality and fair dealing is too well established to be destroyed by the Journal's false hoods. He has, for many years, been a member of the Presbyterian Church, and his walk has been consistent with his profession. The people of the Slate, without regard to party, will resent with indignity the Journal's effort to bespatter him with mad. A gallant officer, who was with General Hancock in Mexico and throughout the war against the Rebellion, who acted as his Attorney General in Louisiana in 1807 and 1SC8, and who has always vot9d the straight Republican ticket, says, in a letter to a friend, speaking of General Hancock: "I have .never been other than his devoted friend, and consider him one of the most illustrious llring Americans. His steady friendship for me I regard as the highest honor of my life. Of his tripmphant election I have no doubt." Ma. Bird, of the Republican Executive Committee of the Sixth District of Alabama, gives the lie to any bulldozing that is reported ia his section, as follows: "We have opened an active campaign in this District to unite and solidify the Republicans In the August election, and will then hold it well in hand for the November election. We have every prospect of a fair election and fair count in oar section, and will poll 1,800 Republican majority in this County." The 'outrage" enterprises of the Republican organs will not pay very heavy dividends this year. - - Mb.Portx& is rich rich by inheritance. He employs no men, save probably one to brush his clothes and another to attend his horse. His estate is so invested as to bring him a steady income. No f Amilies are supported by his money, and no great industries are stimulated by any act of his. Mr. Landers is also wealthy wealthy by reason of his own industry and economy. Five hundred men are employed in the various industries in which he is engaged, and probably five times that number of mouths are fed by reason of his wealth and enterprise. Which of these men is the more deserving of the people's support and gratitude? The Journal says that the Sentinel charges Mr. Porter with being "a gentleman." Oh nol Yon have it wrong. We had Mr! Porter mixed up with kid gloves, silk stockings, etc, but we never said he was "a gen tleman." " Neither did we say be was not gentleman. We are porsaaded, however, that he is not such a gentleman as Frank Landers. His heart never beats with such large and generous pulsations. He can never take his neighbor by the hand and give that hand a heart-raisins; grip as Mr. Landers can. He is not made after the same pattern. Mr. Landers never finds himself in the position to require a friend at his back to tell him who his neighbors are, as was the ease with Mr. Porter last Wednesday night. Mr. Landers is a big hearted, big brained, fatherly gentleman. Mr. Porter ain't. -

The demonstration is conceded, even by the Democratic paprs, to have snrpasaed anything Indianapolis ever iawr and this .-not-Withstanding many organizations weie kept at home on accoant of the intense heat. New York Tribune. , . . . .. ... ... .., ; The foregoing alludes to the late Porter asco In this city. The Democratic papers eouoede no - such , thing.' There are papers published in Chicago,' Cincinnati and St. Louis who have several ambitious young Re pablicaas in this city acting as corresponda&i Ql cq&xm the fe political deawa

strations through 'Republic in spectacles. They may have sent exaggerated accounts ot the affair. The Porter reception was a flat failure, inasmuch as it pretended to be . a grand State outpouring to receive Mr. Porter.7 It did not get beyond the dimensions of a respectable city meeting the superiors of which by both parties have been Irequent. Now, will the Tribune publish this view Of it ME. ARTHUR'S LETTER OF ACCEPTCETJ The letter of acceptance of Mr. Chester A. Arthur, Republican candidate for Vice President, is ft much more honest production than that of General Garfield." It is better written, does not dodge the questions of the day. as'does that of his chief, and represents his party in a much more frank, hearty and manly way. He ia a stalwart, and he Bays so. .He does not beat about the bush, bat affirms boldly that it is the business of the General Government to assume the conduct of elections. Nearly one-half of the letter flaunts the bloody shirt, but not in words which have a double meaning, or which can be misinterpreted. He is in this thoroughly Republican. He believes the questions of the war are the'Jive issues, and he therefore puts them forward for discussion. He launches his maledictions at the Democratic party In a straightforward way that will gain respect for him with that party, because he shows that he is politically a good hater, and people like this class of men. His reference to the civil service plank is thoroughly characteristic. He knew that he was compelled to walk over dangerous ground, but nevertheless be takes firm and quick steps. It is a disagreeable job, and he is anxious to have done with it So he first indorses tbe principle in a general way, and then proceeds to explain. He is in favor of a reform cf the civil service, but he is opposed to the enactment or enforcement of any laws looking to that end. It doubtless seemed a good joke to him that he was nominated upon a platform which made a demand so utterly preposterous, and he seems to have determined to carry out the joke with as much seriousness as he could muster. He thinks public officials should be honest, able and faithful, which is all very well as a policy of his party in a platform or letter of acceptance. Bat he combats with vigor the theory that the possession of these qualities may be ascertained by rales or after any system whatever, and really remits the entire question to all the evils which have Inhered in it for fifty years. He has an opportunity to give Hayes and Sberman a blow and he does not neglect iL Officers should be permitted to take any part they may choose in the manipulation of primaries or caucuses. This portion of his letter reads like Senator Conklicg had put it in, as doubtless he did have something to do with it, either in suggestion or execution. It is impossible not to admire the dash and bravery of the man, and to respect him, however belittling his candidacy may seem. He takes a bolder position on the financial question than Mr. Garfield. He lauds resumption as everybody does now, but goes further by takirg Btrong ground against tbe silver dollar as now coined, by saying that it must be brought up "to the test of the world's fixed standard." Oa tariff he is evidently a revenue reformer, but in this he evades the issue, as probably most of the political documents of the year will, and he carries water on both shoulders with some enccees. His letter concludes with a screech on socalled rebel claims, concerning which the only possible criticism is, that it is untrue. His utterance will not, ot course, cut any figure in the campaign, but, none the lees, it better represents his party, and would stand the hard work of the canvass better than Mr. Garfield's. It may yet be in order to reverse the picture by hatglrjg the head of the ticket as a dead weight upon the tail. Mr. Arthur merely represents the record and the purposes of his party, and when this is said all has been said, while Mr. Garfield has his own personal record, his Phariaeeism and his shuffling and evasion to carry in addition to the record and purposes of the Republican party. With the appearance of the letters of General Hancock and Mr. English the issuas ot the campaign will be fairly made up. It may tafely be assumed that they will put the canvass upon a higher place than have the Republican candidates.

ORGANIZE. The coming Presidential election is not to be carried by enthusiasm only not even In Indiana although throughout onr ' own State the nominations, State and National, have been everywhere received with acclamations of approval. Yet it must be recollected that rotes, not huzzas, are counted, and will determine the result. The contest is not betw een tbe personal merits and character of Hancock and Landers, on the one hand, and Garfisld and Porter on the other. It is a contest between the Republican party eo long in power, and the political organization which ' threatens to displace it ' The whole patronage of . the Federal Government, with the army of officeholders now enjoying that patronage will be exerted to continue the Republican party in power. ' This Immense patronsgs has haully kept the Republican party from perishing. Its loss will involve that organization ia utter and irretrievable ruin. The Democratic , party has flourished grown and prospered without official patronage, but its opponent could not live one day without it. : The retention of Dowerby the Republican leaders Is a struggle for life, because political death will follow its loss. Hence the Republicans have the strongest motives for making this fight the most desperate of their long career. Oae hundred thousand officeholders have already enlisted in it. They are trained politicians. They devote their whole time and attention to what they deem so necessary a work as their own retention in power. Many of this official legion draw large salaries; all command some money, and It may be certain that it will be used like water to accomplish their purposes. In this contest there will be no scruple among Republicans about using any mean necessary for success, j When- it is recollected that John Saerman, the Secretary of the Treasury, was one of those private partisan detectives, one of that merchants? political police force, called "TisiUsg t'.atwaca," who watched and

waited for the 'theft of the Presidency in i

Louisiana,9 'that the same person new controls millions of money. and is anxiously expecting and hoping lor the election of another Obio man underVhom he-may continue the - management of the Treasury for another four years no one need be surprised at 'the' discovery of any amount of fraudulent and corrupt means to defeat the candidates cf the Democratic party. To insure success we need not only majority, of voters, that we already have, but a'eo the use and active effort cf those voters. ' To 'do this, organization is absolutely necessary. We trust that the friends of Hancock and' Landers in Indiana will effect Organization In every Township, Ward and Precinct, and in every school and road District In the State. . - : ; Hold your own meetings; , elect your officers; select your speakers; furnish your members freely with documents, and eipe cially Democratic newspapers. Make full lists of oil voters separate lists of your own. Meet frequently, publicly. Lst discussion and debate go on at full length. The more the men and the principles of the two parties are examined and talked about, the greater will be the Democratic advantage. Bat, above all, organize. Organization is the very life and soul of victory. ' "MASTERLY SILENCE." The Sentinel continues to maintain a masterly silence In rtgard to Mr. English's candidacy. Journal. The Journal and other Republican papers have indorsed a good deal of "boah" concerning Mr. English and the Sentinel, as also in regard to a pretended lack of harmony among Democrats in this State generally Now we would advise our neighbor to do itself and its party no farther harm through foolishly deluding itself and misleading its friends concerning this nutter of lack of harmony among Democrats in this State. While wholly unnecessary so far as this locality 'is concerned, for the information for friends in otaer States, we wish to say, one 3 for all, that the Democratic party of Indiana was never more of a unit; has never been more determined, or more confident of a brilliant victory in Ostober and November than it is to-day. While upon this subject it occurs to us that it might be quite es well for our neighbor to expend a portion of its surplus force in an effort to induce Republicans to believe that Mr. Hayes and Mr, Sherman were not in earnest; did not really mean anythiLg ol the kind; were, in fact, only joking when each of tbem, respectively, certified to the great ability of one C. A. Arthur as an insurmountable impediment to honest collection of revenues. So far as our memory serves, the real, "masterly silence" of the period is on the part Of tbe Journal and Republican newspapers generally concerning the aforesaid evidence of the great ability of Arthur as an insurmountable impediment to honest collection of revenue. For farther information we refer our esteemed contemporary to Mr. Hayes' letter to Arthur, discharging him from the New York Custom House for dishonesty. NOTE AND COMMENT. It Is said Mr. Geo. W. Childs, of the Phlladelphla Ledger, Will give his vote and Influence to General Hancock. Alexander H.8tephbns Is willing to accept a re-election to Congress, and will doubtless be returned without serious opposition. Geo. W. Williams, colored member of the Ohio Legislature, has been lecturing against tbe exodus of negroes from the Soutn to the North. . Mr. Williamson, a s Republican candidate for Congress in Louisiana, decline ana an. nounces his adhesion to General Hancock. And the cry is still they come. Tn i be are only about 21,000 Chinese In Ban Francisco out of a total population of neirly a quarter of a million. Reports have generally placed the number much higher. GkxebalW. 8. RosECBASS 13 President of the "Blue and Gray Bancock Legiou," of San Francisco. It is composed of men who lough agalast each other In the late war. ' The Boston Herald says the Democrats of Massachusetts hope to make gains la the legislature, to' capture -three Congressional Districts, and to gain a political base for a successful fight in J881. General Bctxer, so hU Massachusetts friends say, vrl'l soon come out In a letter announcing his support of Hancock: aud English, and he will probably be the regular Democratic candidate for Governor in 1S1. Ex-Cosgkessxan SayLer, of Cincinnati, says the present "Ohio idee" is to cast the vote of the State for Hancock. It is not a bad idea, and tbe Democracy of every section of the country will accept It with enthusiastic unanimity. . . , . , . . -,r. ... It Id not probable that General Hancock will resign his Major General's position until he does so next February to accept the office of Commander-ln Chief. All the precedents are against the policy or necessity for his resignation, and it Is not probable that he will break the rule.. " ' Don UAHerox has suddenly recovered his health. So soon as he escaped election as Chairman of the National Committee, and found that he would not be compelled to give fire niontns' time and f 50,000' In money to a cause which was hopeless, then be began at once to recover his wonted health. It seems that Mexico has bad a fair election after all, and that no revolution is probable. In this event Mr. Hayes would do well to send some "visiting statesmen" of his party in order to learn how, even In the most disturbed Republic In this world, a fair and free election may be held. It will cause him to be ashamed of hlmsslf, but can not suiely heighten that feeling in his breast. ' ; , Mb. Marshals Jswkli of Connecticut Chairman of the Republican National Committee, has been taking lessons from Colonel Mw, and is telling every reporter at every crv8i-roads town that be Is Just going to carry the country with a whoop. There Is. a new interview with him every day all in the name vein. lie will discover one of these times that talk doesn't carry elections anymore than it buys land. , , . . . ..... Co ix) I ei. I7kw claimed, while Journeying to the Eastward, that Indiana was sure to vote Republican. When he comes home he finds confronting him an alleged canvass' of the Btate by his Committee, the very best results of . which only ho w him . s . nominal claim of 2,300 majority. The Cbalrman of the Committee in 1876 claimed the State by Z0,OCO, and It went 5,503 the other way. . This fact raws Its own Inference ' u w . ,'.';.. , Tu Republican ; örgan-grlnderi -will -wake op one of these mornings .and discover that Mr.TUdsal not .'.candidate', far Pr e s Id tntJ this year, and theVthey will find It 'politic to stop abusing him, and discuss the Issues of the campaign. Mr. Tilden Is a very lively sort of political corpse, itil true; but they have so

loo c insisted that this was his normal condition that they may find it to their interest to

drop him and take up something else.- Th e defense of Mr. Garfield is a very necessary thing, and if it could be well done, would be a very Christian sort of an act toward that gentlomaa. ' ' '. Two hcsdrkd votes were cast for the Green back candjdate la Maryland last year. , Yet, Mr. Weaver, the candidate of that party for President, claims that as one of tbe States which he will carry. He seems to be as sanguine a man as our own Colonel New, who made declarations as to Indiana, with little more knowledge concerning them, or little more prospect of seeing them realized. In General Weaver's case It Is, perhaps, a mill insanity; lu that of Colonel New It is brsg and bluster, with the added hope of cecurlng liberal funds for disbursement In Indiana. UI5IRAL Grant passed the greater part of last Sunday in General Pope's office, at Fort Ieavenworth. A large group of gentlemen gathered about hlra aud he led the conversation, talking freely of his travels, and evidently enjoying the opportunity to relate what he had seen. He Is said have a wonder ful memory for details, and he has an agreeable manner in tolling his traveler's tales. The General's Jourfteylngs have agreed with him; he was weighed at Kansai City the other day and turned the scales at 183 pounds. Brother Poland, he of the blue coat and brass buttons, who was Chairman of the Committee which Investigated the Credit Mobilier operations, has written a second letter, in which he azaln attempts to exonerate General Garfield from the charges preferred against him for his connection with that corrupt and corrupting affair. Mr. Poland protests altogether too much. It requires too much explanation, none of which explains in the least. Mr. Poland signed his name to a report which reflected severely upon Mr. Garfield, and as he was Chairman of the Committee, lt would Eeem that he should nave known what he was doing. It Is too late now that almost eight years have passed for him to bring In a supplementary report, saying thst everything was lovely with.' General Garfield then as well as now. The country cares nothing for Mr. Poland now, and even his own constituency has dropped him from office, but It does oare to know something ot Mr. Gaifleld, because be Is a candidate for the highest office in the gift of the people. Mr. Poland will o!y make himself ridiculous and accomplish nothing for his cause, If he writes any more letters about it. The Constitutional Amendments. Copninunlcated.j Contrary to the ordinary rule, the decision of the Supreme Court, holding that the pro posed amendments to the Constitution have not been adopted, is being savagely attscked by the press and leaders of the Republican party. The tame men who proved the disloyalty of the fusionists of Maine by the opinion of the Supreme Court of that State are now denouncing the decision of our Court as being merely partisan. The Democratic party is noted for its obedience to law, and when the law is declared by the Court, opposition ceases. The Republican party is its exact antipodes in this respect! It never yields to law where the law stands between it and its ambitious purposes, as has been demonstrated on many occasions. That tbe decision of the Court on the Constitutional amendments is correct, it seems to ns, after an examination, of the question, is not open to doubt. It may do for mere partisans, fcr an ignoblo purpose, to attack the Court, but members of the profession who 6eek to see the laws of their Sta'e justly administered, should, not, for party's sake, degrade their noble calling by attacking a Court for the , dUcaarge ' of a conscientious duty. Messrs. Diddle, Worden aud Howk, who concur in the opinion pronounced by tbe Court, are men who have made characters for honesty and integrity as well a? ability lu their profession, and it ia not to be supposed that they wou!d violate their caths and lend themselves to tbe miserable business of prostituting their high offices for mere partisan purposes. Those who attack the Court persistently falsify the case made before the Court.- Tbe question was not whethf r the Court should set the amendments astds after they had been adopted by the people, but wnetber they had in fact been thus adopted. Had they? . The Constitution says: Any amendment or amendments to this Constitution may be proposed in either branch of the General Assembly, and, if the same snail be agreed to by a majority of the members elected to each of the two Houses, sacn proposed amendment or amendments shall, with tke yeas and nays thereon, be entered on the journals and referred to the General Assembly to be chosen at the next general election; and if, lu the General Assembly so next chosen, such proposed amendment or amendments shall be agreed to by a majority of all the members elected to each House, then it shall be the duty of the General Assembly to submit such amendment Or a mendments to tbe electors of tbe mate; and If a majority or said electors shall ratify the inme, such amendment or amendments shall become a part ot this Constitution. Now, it will be observed that a proposed amendment, before it can become a part, of the Constitution, must pass three oi dealstwo General Atsemblies and the vote of the people. It will not be' disputed that an amendment Is required to receive a majority of all the members constituting the separate Legislative Assemblies, or that it requires ntty-one in tbe House and twenty-six in the Hecate to pass it; and if this is admitted, why is it that less' than a majority ' of the electors '-can ratify? .."The electors of the State', as defined by all authority, are the legal voters of the State not those who do vote, but those entitled to vote. There can, therefore, be no doubt that it requires majority of tbe legal voters of tbe State to ratify an amendment, no more than it can be donoted that it requires a majority of all the members elected to each House to pass it In tbe General 'Assembly. The tact that tbe amendments must ' be ' so submitted to the " voten ' that all can ' vote for or against them, has no force to combat the position we take, for, in their passage through the General Assembly, the sitae thing is reQuired, and the vote registered, although it requires a certain affirmative vote to pat a them. Besides, it was evidently the inten tion of those who made the Constitution that amendments should be submitted to the people at a separate election held for that purpose alone, and when this is done, as we shall presently see, the vote for and against tbe amendments submitted will be held to be the total of the electors of the State.. The Legislature of 1879 submitted the amendments to ft vote of the people in the following langusge: ,. "Section 1. Be It enacted by the General Assembly of the Btate of Indiana. That eacn of said proposed amendments shall be submitted to the electors of tbe Ute, at the election to be held on tbe first Monday of April, 1830, for their adoption or rejection. Here the Legislature defined the electors to whom ;the amendments were to be submitted, viz : To the electors who should assemble and vote at the April election, 1880. This was the body of men who, under the law, were to constitute "tho electors of the State" to ratify or reject the amendments. Who shall' say 'that any other body could ratify them?, Shall a Court crucify its conscience at the dictation of partisan clamor, and say that less than tbis body fixed by the law to determine the question shall be sufficient? ' Shall the - highest t Court in th m tate- j xj notharx :ruie ,f than that laid down by the Constitution and the law? When it does so, let the people deride and scorn it; but all honor to men who hold the scales of justice

evenly in their hands, and decide the law as it is, fearlessly. It it the only safety that remains for the people. The body ot eUctors of tbe State who assembled and voted at the April election, lSbO. were to determine whether the amendments should be ratified or noW While every legal voter In the State is. one of the electors mentioned in the Constitution, '. yet Courts hold that,- for convenience, and because it would be too burdensome to adopt a more vigorous rule, the electors who vote at the election te which the amendments or other questions are submitted shall be hld to be the total legal voters of the State. Tbis does not change the actual number of electors, but ia a rule of evidence adopted for convenience; and when the rule is evidently a false one, it may be rejected, for the purpose is to determine in good faith whether a majority cf all the electors haa approved the proposition or not. In the case lately decided by the Conrr, admissions were made in the record. This was wholly immaterial, and could not and was not considered by tbe Court. The fatal objection was that the law submitting the amendments to the people fixed the body of electors to be those who should assemble and vote at the April election. 1880; but the law provided no means of counting and returning the number of this body. The submission was all well enough and perfectly legal, but when the Legislature elected to submit the question to the eelctors at the April election, 18S0. that was the only body that could be looked to to ascertain whether the proposition bad carried or not An elector voting

for Township officers at that election was no less a member of the body to whom the question of tbe ratification of the Constitutional amendments was submitted, than if he had voted for or against the amendments. He must be counted, and if he did not vote for the amendments he must be counted against them, or else the (s'jnstitution amounts to nothing. Those who Bay that the electors who voted for and s gainst the amendments must be considered the whole body to whom tbe Court can look, eeem to forget the Inconsistencies of euch a position. If the amend ments bad been submitted at a separate election, as was the case in the Wabash and Erie Canal amendment, this position would be correct, for then the rule of evidence before spoken of would apply. The return beicg made of. all who voted at the election, a majority of the vote would determine the question. But even if these amendments had been submitted at a separate election, it would not have been sufficient to have returned the vote for and against each separate amend ment, if the rule laid down in tbe Constitu tion is to be observed. There would have to be a return of the electors who voted at tbe election on all or any of the amendments, so that tbe aggregate number of '"electors of the State" could be determined by which to test the result. Sappose the rule claimed by the opponents of the decision of the Court should be adopted, it would result in euch absurdity as to render a decision on such a basis ridiculous. Suppose we assume the submission ol the late proposed amendments was at a separate election. Now, the Constitution requires tbat each amendment shall bs ratified by a majority of the electors of the State. It is conceded that this body is a certain number of men, and certainljamust be held to be the same number, on the same day, at the same place, and voting on separate propositions by the same ballot. Now, at the late election on the proposed amendments, the following votes were cast on the sevaral propositions: No. 1 . ....... 821.842 aS O 2 . . . w, wi MnMiimi wm.w,,, 3 It) A! 1 No. 3 . .. 31 212 No. 4 : 312,59 10 ö ....... .....

Which shall be taken as the body mentioned in the Constitution as "the electors of the State?'1 Shall it be the highest? or shall tbe Court humiliate itself, to please the popular demand, by holding that tbe certain fixed number mentioned in the Constitution varied and changed seven different times on the same day, at the same place and at the Bametime. "Is thy servant a dog that he should do this thing?" In another article we will give the authorities suetainicg the decision ot the Court,, and in discussing the case and citing the authorities, we shall endeavor not to do so from the standpoint of a partisan, but from that of a lawyer.
