PORTER'S FAST.

A Tisit to the Former Home of Hon. Albert G. Porter. 16 Mm Wfco Grew Rich by Inherit ance-How H Disliked Labor. (The Candidate that "Shook'-' His lather Because He Was Poor. . bliuinefully Neglected Graveyard, and the Home of Ohio Klver Snakes A Brief Flee of Ilrstory that Will Bear Readln". T . r. ' Inn-naf m A faiar yeara since, when I had a local habitation In V this City, I had beard it remarked that Hon. Nrilbert G. Porter first saw the light of the 'shining son in this section of the State, or, rather, i cross the river in the "dark and bloody ground' and was afterward reared to fortune end fame at the handa of a rich uncle within the borders of the Commonwealth over which he cow aspires to become the Governor. Not haviog forgotton the information of the tarJy home vl Mr. Porter, a visit to the -'antiquated city in the corner" would not be inconsistent at the present time. TEE TOWS is not unlike the ordinary river town, while tte citizens are not of the fiery, entertiising kind that characterize the interior town3, but they make up for their lack oi enterprise by their extreme goodness. Thry partake largely of the habits and customs that are indulged in by the people of the Sooth, even to their innate lova for the "path bnahburn" and fast horses. The town is a wealthy one and tbia is perhaps the reason that enterprise is an element of the past. The place if older than Cincinnati, and bad it not been situated in the low flat lands of the Ohio and Miami bottoms, it might hate been to the State of Indiana what Cincinnati is to Ohio. The rtvarrv.rirn rn'iea nv river njm m t i ; x f reality is but a suburban town to the Paris of America. The average Lawrenceburger is as apt to epeak of the great men it has produced as they are to ask jou to "smile " The truly good will never forget that llenry "Ward Leecher preached and caught drift wood here. Dr. Hall, ot Hall a Journal of Health, late of New York, was also a resident here. THE TOCSfYS were the original family of much wealth. They came out from New York when this portion of Indiana was a primitive orest, and first settled on the binks of the Ohio in Kentucky, immediately across the river from here, and there built a thriving village called "lOfiEY T0W5." This was prior to there beicg any town on this side of the river. In the course of time old St. Clair Vance, a wealthy New Yorker, made his appearance in the wildernees and laid out what is now this city, and named in honor of Captain Lawrence, who came about the same time that Vance did. The little place crew like magic, and in a few rars had r,it rivaled its neighbor across the river hence Lawrenceourg became the metropolis and the little village of Tousey Town was abandoned and left to decay, and now not a vesüga of it remains Bave an occasional pile of stone that served as a part of the structure. The Porters were about the next family to form a part of the habitation of Tousey Town, where Albert v.-as born, and purchased some lands on the Kentucky side. the father o: Umer ana oeorge lousey (the latter late of your city) and the grandfather of Hon. Albert G. Porter, in thoe days was cot considered wealthy, but in good circumstances. OMER TOCPKY, y the eider son. uvea to De one 01 m ncaesi T men in Sotheastern Indiana. In ISCiS, when ) he died, bis estate was valued at about $.'W0,I 000. Tousey was a sharp, shrewd linancier. As an evidence 01 nis aDiuty to mace money, I relate the following, as told by Zaph Heustis, for yearsV prominent railroad conductor and manipulator In stocks, while sitting in front of Hunt's Hotel this morning: ''It was the time," said Heusti," when the State was interested with Omer Tousey, George Tousey, Stephen Ludlow, Isaac Dunn, Walter Hayes, Joseph Hayfs, David Guard, Ezrfc Guard, Andrew Merlau and others, in the construction of the Lawrecceburg and Upper Mississippi Railroad, now the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St Louis and Chicago Road. " rne state loanea mess men its creau ana issued bonds sufficient to raise the required amount of money with which to complete the road. It was about this time that the Western land ftver had broken out The inducements for speculation in that direction were more flatter eg than in the railroad enterprise. Insteau of completing the road or engaging in any art of its construction, invested the money in Western lands, and let the railrcaa ei ierpn?e xemmu wuere it ursu iu talk, but a few years after the State bad issued its railroad bonds the credit of the State became very low, the bonds caa iuw uwwu ao vj xtou cents on the dollar in the New York market Out of the money he bad received from the State and the profits of the West em land investment, Omer Tousey bought up all the bonds he could at their low value and kept them until the State became able to r deem them. Let it be said in memory of Mr. Tousey that aa sharp and driving in trades as he ww, his integrity was never brought into question. Jle wanted every cent that was coming to him. Tousey made f the most of bis wealth In shaving notes and Intninotinnr at nnrmont rataa of in. tereet" Torney, hon ever, liquidated his indebtedness to the 5 ate, and out of the railroad transaction he made thousands of dollars. 'He would Dot foreclose a mortgage on a poor man, would he?" "Yes, be would; he would cut to the blood every time. He was at times charitable, and often gladdened the hearts of the poor by tending them provisions and clothing. In cases of this kind be was always adverse to having known who bad sent them." "Did you know H0S. ALBERT G. PORTER?" Yes," said Huestls. "I knew him well. I remember once he got on my dray (that was when I was poor) to ride from the old warehouse out to the wharf boat, and I succeeded in giving him a good ducking. You see, Porter had considered himself above me. I know of no Other reason hy unless it was because I was a laboring man. When he got on my dray to ride to the wharf the water was rising very rapidly, and between the waters' edge and the boat there was a big hole. It was im possible to get the boat up to the edge of tbe water, consequently the only means of getting there was either by skiff or to be driven oat on a wagon. I took this opportunity of giving the young man the benefit of an' Ohio River bath; so I drove my horse as far in the river as It was safe to go, and in getting Porter wet I likewise had to take some of it myself, but then I could stand that very well." Then rorter was aristocratic in his early daya, was her' Yes. Youeeehis father, Captain Tom

Porter, was a brother-in-law of Omer Tousey and was very poor. Tousey had no children and so Albert was taken to the house of his ancle and was reared by him." "Then his uncle educated him, did be?" "Tousey did well by Porter. He sent him to Hanover College for awhile, then afterward sent him to Asbury, at Greencastle. Torter was a smart, stadioui young man. but most infernal proud. He banked a good deal on his being a relative ot the Touseys." "Can you tell me something about Ciptain Porter, the father of Albert?' "I knew the old Captain welL He was a man of more than ordinary intellect He was a great lover of good stories and good whisky." He was not dissipated, was he? ' "He drank a great deal. He was under the influence of whisky nearly all the time, but never did be forget his gentlemanly inspects. The greater the stimulaut tbe more polite be became. He was what we call nowadays a dignified drinker. He owned and operated the feny here for years. That was the only basinet he did during the time I knew him. Some time before be died he was not able to run tbe boat, so left It in charge of his son, Oliphant" "Did Albert ever work on the ferry?" "I never knew of bis working either there or any other place. He spent the most of his time while he lived here at ichool. Young Porter was, I think, too aristocratic to indulge in manual labor." "How much money did Albert G Porter rcive from the estate of his uncle, Omer Tousey?" "You cau see if yon will go down to the Clerk's oiilce and look at the will record. I think it was forty-five hundredths of tbe entire estate, and the estate, I suppose, was valned at $3JO,000, whlca would make $130,000. This amount, however, does not inolude the amount given him before the death of Tousey. I suppose be had given him from Tousey, in bis lifetime and by the

will Tousey, all of $175.000." The statement of Mr. Heustis was authenticated by an examination of the Court record I said to DAVID E. SPARKS, row a merchant here, who had at one time been employed in the store of Ueorge Tousey, when that gentleman was in businesi here, "You muet have- known Albert G. Porter in his young days?" "I suppose I knew Mr. Porter as well as any other person now ltving here. He left here, I think, in the early part of 1850. I was employed for years in the store of George T. Chandler and Oliphant Porter, a brother of Albert's, and became well ac quatnted with both of them." Wae there any difference in the two brothers?" "I can not now call to my mind anything that would serve as a comparison. Oliphant, or 'Ollie' aa we always called him, was a very industrious and hard-working young man. I have known him to work ail night down on tbe ferry; be would eat and sleep there; he was always doing sometbing.while ( Albert was quit tbe reverse. He was a dignified aristocratic eelf-important kind of boy, to ouice to soil his hands with labor. Omer Tousey reared him, and from that I suppose he thought he was too good to work at least be never did. and appeared as a constitutional enemy to any branch of industry. unless It was to encourage he manufacture of fashionable coats and high-heeled boots. He was like the Tousys. Tbey were all aristocratic, end thought themselves better than other people ." "It was not humiliating to Young Porter, with his ariitocratic ideas and his associations with the Touseys, to have the public know that be was the son of a plain, unassuming and convivial man like Captain Porter, was ii?" "It was outrageous the way the old man was treated by Albert and some of the other members of the family . In the last days of the old man be had nothing to do, but wandered around the streets seemingly friendless and apparently destitute. Oi'ten in summer time I have seen the old man clad in a fceavy winter overcoat buttoned close around his neck to hide a dirty shirt, and all this fcince Albert G Porter has been living in Indianapolis in luxury and ease. More than once bave I seen Albert meet bis father on the street and not notice him. Oliphant Porter was a half brother of Albert's. Daring the time Oliphant lived here be always cared for bis father, and did more lor him than all of the others. Ollie received nothicg from the Tousey estate, but earned all he ever had. When I was in CbaDdler fc Porter's store, all the money the old man ever got was what we gave him from the store, and that was a small amount jast enough to defray his necessary expensed, coupled with about thirty cents a day for whisky." Mr. Sparks here asked if I had been to see the graves where tbe father and mother of Porter were buried over among the hills of Kentucky? "It is a shame," said Mr. Sparks, "the way they bave been neglected. It is the worst neglected family burying ground in this section of tbe country." Acting on the above information, I started in the airection cf the river, on my way to the graveyard. The old ferryman, CAPTAI5 W. R. HCFF, who is popularly suppos9d to have lived always, and tbe most of thta time within the limits of this city, raid: "I knew the Touseys and the Porters well. I have known Albert G. Porter from his infancy. You will find the graveyard upon the hill in a very bad condition. I have often driven the cattle out of it, and frequently nailed up the boards on the fence. Mr. Parry has done more than any one else to keep it in repair. Those buried up there were all friends of mine, and I fixed up the fences out of respect I had for my dead friends." "Has Hon. Albert G. Porter,-of Indianapolis, the Republican candidate for Governor, been to visit the graves, or done anything toward keeping the yard in repair of late years?" "Albert G. Porter has not done as much as I have. I do not think he baa been Inside of it since the day his nrcle, Omer Tousey, was buried, and that I think waa ten or twelve years ego. Mrs. Tousey. the witfow of Omer Tousey, had a new board fence built around the lot about three years ago, and that is all that baa ben done to it, with the exception of what Rees Parry and Mr. Piatt have done, who also have friends and relatives barUd there." "Did you ever kDow Captain Porter, the father ot Albert G ?" "I knew the whole family. Captain Porter bad two wives. The first one waa the daughter of Thomas Tousey, and the second was the daughter of Moees Tousey. -Thomas and Moses were brothers; so you tee his wives were cousins. Albert is a son of the second wife. When Captain Porter died he was very poor. If I am not mistaken, he drew a small pension, and that was all he had to live on during his declining years. Hia other son, Oliphant waa a son ot the first wife, and quite a different man from Albert If you will notice when you go up to the ground I think you will find that the grave of Captain Porter's first wife is unmarked not a stone or even a board did I ever see to mark the last resting place. Oh, Its simply outrageous that a family with the reputed wealth ot Albert Porter would allow such a thing. As poor as I am I have always performed tbe duties that should be shown to the dead."1 In ascending the hill going toward the graves it was a hot, warm, sultry dajjusl after noon-tide when languor seemed to have laid its grasp on the birds of the air and tha beasts of the field, as well as all mankind, when nothing was heard - but tha bee, an occasional sleepy chirp of the birds in the tall trees among the crags and rocks, and the hum ot the voices that came from tha distant fields. Along the road leading to the gate that

opens into the private way to the home of the dead, thickly clustered with a cheery growth of locust, fa a stream with a strong swift current set in from the east, and being lashed into the giddy fury by the lightest wind, it had hewn out of the rock a series of cells, grottoes and alcoves, some of them running far Inland in long vault', passages and corridors, with now and then a hart in the'jocky roof, through which the light Btreamed down into the dark recesses below. It would be impcsiible to camber tte carts, they are so numerous. In the clefts of the rocks above huog fntges of the most delicate green ferns, while nooks and crevices, black with per pet aal shadow, were scattered everywhere. AT TBK GRAVES. Here in this shady dell, upon the topmost pinnacle of the cluster ot Kentucky hills, overlooking the beautiful Ohio, with the rich and fertile bills of Kentucky and the low green bottoms of her sister States of Ohio and Indiana, extendicg as far in the distance as the eye can penetrate, with the staid old city under the bill on the opposite shore. The scenery is picturesque and grand, with the stately mansion, the former ncme of tha rich uncle, towering above the neighboring houses, presenting an appearance like a castle on the 11 Sine. The description given me of the condition of the place was not overdrawn. The fence

i going to decay. One-half of the lot is so I thickly studded with locust trees of numer ! ous sizes that It i almost impossible to amble I through them. Blackberries bave taken the Dlace. Lsivft tnwerin? stalks of nnlk berries w o " o - - r - - bide from the gazj an occasional marble slab. A step down into the mass of briars and weeds is suggestive of serpents, and perhaps demons hidden beneath. A portion of tbe lot had been freshly mown, and in a distant corner showed a newly-made grave, which accounts for the mowing lately done. After a Iocg and weary search amid tie bushes and briers. I found the graves of Captain Porter and bis last wife, the mother of Hon. Albert G. Porter. As predicted by the oid ferryman, the grave of the first wife cou'd not bs found. The earth on the top of the two graves has sunken down full two feet with a heavy covenDg of decayed leaves, almost biding the small slab-like stones at the heads. It was evident from the surroundings that no lovlDg bands had strewn either of the graves with flowers, and neither had a tear been dropped over tbe graves since the day tbey had been laid to rest In tbe same uninvitiDg, neglected, dreary, desolate and, I may say, forgotten spot is buried the rich Omer Tousey, the uncle and benefactor. ' While viewing the surroundings a beautiful country maiden, upon whose arm leaned a frail old lady, poor in purse, bat rich in love, tame and wept over the grave of her departed husband. This, she said, was her dally ecu Dm when the weather would permit MORAL. It was one of the cardinal virtues of Ruck Faoshaw to never shake his mother, and any man who has, been guilty of shaking bis father, as has been indulged in by Mr. Porter, can never be elected Governor of Indiana. The Stainless Hancock. Forney 'a Progress. Mr. Dougherty has been calltd to account by some of the bypercrltics because he used the phrase, in nominating Hancock at Cincinnati on the 23J of June, ' be was as stainless as his sword." Everybody knows that the orator was right, and that although one of the most original minds, that which be applied to Hancock has been used by a thousand rhetoricians. If we may say a stainless character, why not astalDlees sword? In the case of Hancock that phrase rosy be at least justly applied, for in his long life, while mucn has been invented since bis nomination for the Presidency, not only has nothing been proved, but even the reckless genius of paid politicians has Dot given them courage enough to believe anythiog against bim. He speaks through the mouth of rivals. General Sherman said of him: If you will sit down and write the best thing that can be pat in language about General Hancock as an oflicer ana a gentleman, I will sign it without hesitation. General Sheridan said of him: I am not in politics, but General Hancock Is a good and great man. The Democrats have not made any mistake this time. They have nominated an excellent and strong ticket. General Meade wrote: 8ay to General Hancock I regret exceedingly that he is wounded, and that I thank bim, lor the countrv and myself, for the service he has rendered to-day. If I were to quote what bis men said of bim, it would be an affectionate, but certainly an idle reiteration. Elsewhere will be found hia official record. What foreign critics Bald cf him who saw him on the battle field, what history baa said, what tbe South said of him in his administration of the Fifth Military District, composed of Louisiana and Texas, what Mr. Lincoln said of him In bis speech after the retreat of tbe Confederates in July, 1SU3, what Congress said all these may now be held up, not as vindications against foul aspersions, but as the title deeds to an hon, oiable career. There is something alto in a good name, if there is nothing in bis military i record, in the lact that he was an obedient son, an affectionate husband, a devoted father, a sincere friend for all these might be gifts of questionable men. Yet it seems to me that to those who make an advertisement of their own fastidiousness, and who look for angels in public men, even those who are now quarreling with me because I can not support General Garfield, it is something to such minds, it not to most people, that General Hancock has a "stainless" name. In this connection let me say a word about those classes wuo have been opposing mili tary chieftains, and who, with great difficulty, were brought .to vote for General Grant because he was a robust fighter in a holy cause. Bat in Hancock we have a soldier who fought and won a lasting peace, a soldier who, when the war is over, does not desire another con fliot, but is presented to 43,000,000 ot people es tbe type of forgiveness, and the pledged defender of all classes and conditions ot men. There are men in every community whose liyes are missions of mercy. I bave already spoken of tbe clergy, especial apoetles of fraternity and love; but now I appeal to those multitudes who give up their Uvea to charity, to do good to others, to bind np tbe wounds of the stricken, feed the starving, and clothe the naked. These are now asked to decide between a soldier who is for peace, and a politician who is for strife; in other words, between a successful hero who baa brought tranquillity to a sorrowing, tufferlDgandbleeding land, and the politicians who can only get into tbe Presidency by waving tbe bloody flag over his shoulders, and by inciting new dissension between the North and South. Ex-Governor Kemper on Hancock. Er-Govemor James L. Kemper, of Vir glnia. who i now partially paralyzed from the effects cf a wound received in front of Hancock's corps at Gettysburg, writes to a friend concerning the nomination at Cincinnati ae follows-. "While personally I would have preferred a civilian to a professional soldier for a nominee, yet knowing what a chaos of complication and competition confronted the Democratic delegates at Cincinnati, I can not bat think they builded wiser than themselves or anybody else knew. The result la provldentiaUy felicitous. It mortifies no aspirant; It wounds nobody's sensibilities. It provokes the antagonism of no section of the country, and of no class, clan or fragment of the Democracy, It seta ns free from tbe animosities and wrangles of the past, placates everybody, consolidate all . the elements ot our strength, and it justifies ' tbe belief that we are going to bring tha Government back to tha Confutation by a revolution aa

glorious nn that which bore Jeff? ron to the Iront in 1J0. Tbey wbo flght ander tb banner of the bloody euirt mlsnnderstand as as much as they malign us. We ot the South know we were always bound to know tbat our only hope tor ourwlvM lies In the restored peace and prosperity of the whole country. No stouter soldier than Hancock fought na in war as long as war lasted. Xow that he stands beiote tbe country a living embodiment of peace now that our supreme Ceslre in peacehe suits us h thousandfold better than any Houtüern leader or sympathizer of tbe past, and we will atrike more eflective b!owa lor him tliaa we ever struck against him."

Heriodlral or Uillon I'erer, Et., and indeetl nil tbe attentions wlilrh rie from malarious, innren, or in lasma tic poisons. tias oeen wiaeiy asea during tne last twenty-flve years in the treatment of these distressing diseases, and with such unvarying success that it has gained the reputation of being infallible. The shakes, or chills, once broa en by it. do not return until the disease is contracted again. This has made it an accepted remedy and trusted specific lor the r ever and Ague 01 the west and tue cuius and Fever of the South. Ayer's Ague Cure eradicates the noxious poison from the system and leaves the patient as well as before the attack. 'It thoroughly expels the disease, so that no Liver Complaints, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, liysenteryor Debility follow the cure. Jneeed, where Disorders of the Liver and Bowels have occurred from Miasmatic Poison, it removes tne cause of them and tney disappear. Not only is it an effectual cure, but, II taken occasionally by patients exposed to malaria, it will eipel the poison and protect them from attack. Travelers and temporary residents in Fever and Ague locall ties are thus enabled to defy the disease. The (General Debility which Is so apt to ensue from continued expoure to Malaria and Miasm, ha no speedier remedy. For Liver Complaints, it is an excellent remedy. PREPARED BY DR. J.
