The book contains, besides a complete history of the early settlement of Indiana, a record of the organization of every County in the State, and is full of information upon the commercial, educational . and agricul tural growth of Indiana, f great interest to all the people of the State, besides being a handsoiae addition to the family library. We plead guilty to intense curiosity In re gard to the authorship of the Morey letter, also as to that platform upon which Stanton J. Peelle is making his race for Congres sional honors. Hos. Jas. G.

Reed, in a recent interview, gets his opinion on prohibition into the following neat nutshell : I do not much believe in the principle of prohibitory laws. If people are educated up to them, they are not needed; if not, they are not obeyed. A colored youth belonging to Brother Jasper's flock in Richmond, Va., has been struck dumb for lying. The judgment has seriously disturbed Mahone an evidence, and the only one. that the freebooter has a conscience. The Jews are Hying from Russia by thou sand3.

Oxce in a while a Republican is found who is willing to admit that Robeson, Brady, Dorsey and Keifer are not model Republicans. Occasionally Chandler is added to the list of lame ducks, but the party generally regard these distinguished robbers as fairly A New Yoke lawyer some time since discovered a flaw in Schedule M of the law relating to the duty on knit goods, the word "wool" having been left out. The lawyer worte personally to all the manufactures importers in the United States, took charge of the matter, got a favorable decision, and pocketed a contingent fee of $5,500,000, being 50 per cent of $11,000,000, the amount the Treasury is required to refund to importers for goods imported since 1875. It was the largest contingent fee ever won in America. Cast your eye over this brief summing up of the surroundings of the Tariff Commissioners : John L. 'Hayes, woolen manufacturer and lobbyist ior more tariff, wants himself more tariff on woolen fabrics. Henry W. Oliver, Iron manufacturer, wants himself more tariff on iron. Jacob Ambler, pottery manufacturer, wants himself more tariff on pottery wares. Austin M.Garland. President of a Wool Grow- , era" ring, ants himself more tariff on wool and woolen fabrics. Duncan F. Kenner sum grower and manufacturer, wants himself more tariff on sustar. J. W. H. I'nderwood, interested iu pig iron rings, wants himself more tariff on iron. Poor Moses, the ex-Republican Governor of South Carolina, for petty thieving in New York City, recently began a six months' sojourn in Prison, while Robeson, Grant's Secretary of the Navy, who earned off a large p irtion of the United States Navy, holds a seat in Congress from New Jersey. The New York World gives Mo363 the following bit of advice: ' If ex-Governor Frank Moses is wise he will employ bis leisure time during his imprisonment oh lilackweH's Island in getting up evidence about the Conresoional election in South Carolina next November, so that in case the House in the Fortyeignth Congress should be Republican he can get a seat. As the Latin poet has beautifully observed. "In the Penitentiary prepare for Congress." Is looking over the Stalwart and halfbreed record in regard to spoils, over which the Republican press of both factions are continually wrangling, the conclusion is that it is six of one and half a dozen of the otner. At the recent Philadelphia Convention ef Independent Republicans the banners bore the following legend: "The caiute for 7V4 Gnrfichl died must not be lost." Upon this the Brooklyn Eagle remarks that "many of the delegates and spectators were probably putzled to know what this meant. Everybody understands that the late President died by the hands of a crank. That he died for any particular 'cause' is very far from being gen era'.ly understood. The idea intended to be conveyed by the imaginative historian who conceived the above inscription is that General Garfield was a martyr to his 7eal for civil service reform. But Guiteau's inspiration' grew out of the factional excitement produced by the President'! removal of Collector Merritt and appointment of Senator Robertson. As Merritt was a faithful, capable and energetic officer, for whose retention the mercantile community had interceded, and Mr. Robertson was a jolitician nominated solely to satisfy Blaine

and the hAlf-breeds, the inscription would have been more intelligible had it read: The cause, for disregarding which Garfield died,,must not be lost.' " Thus it will be seea that half-breed chickens come home to roost as certainly as the Stalwart brood. And that the people observe that it is not a paying business for the Republican kettle to call the Republican pot black. In the way of soot the factions carry about an equal amount Without spoils, both factions would be as dead as Jesse James.

TARIFF COMMISSIONERS. From the inception of th Tariff Commission saovexnent the Sentinel did not hesitate to charge that it was a scheme devised by protectionists, first, to postpone tariff re vision, and secondly, to perpetuate the in iquities of the present tariff, which all honest mea'd enounce as a "bundle of jobs" a huge aggregation of abominations, which men of moderate abilities can see without the aid of expert investigation. So far the outcome is strictly in accord with the Sentinel's predictions. Congress shamefully and shamelessly refused to take the responsibility of revising the tariff the one great need of the times. It confessed its inability to perform a duty strictly, con spicnously and imperatively devolving upon it, and turned the whole business over to President Arthur, a man known tobe in full sympathy with protectionists and monopo lists. The President, after due deliberation, has placed upon the Tariff Commission men who will do the bidding of protectionists and monopolists, and it is safe to assume that the great mass of the people will not be considered at all. "We notice now that cer tain gentlemen in Congress who voted for the Tariff Commission are complaining because President Arthur has appointed pro tectionists and monopolists as Tariff Com missioners. They should withhold the:r complaints and nurse in silence their chagrin. They were not unadvised. They voted with the facts of Republican chicanery before them and in full view. They were warned in time, and yet they deliberately votetl to ignore their solemn duty to their constituents. Mr. Carlisle, of Kentucky, speaking on the subject of the Tariff Com mission bill,-said: This is not a bill to facilitate the revision of the tariff. It is a bill to pay out of the public Treas nry about tlOO per day for a period cf six or seven months, to compensate and defray the traveling and other expenses of a Commission to perform duties which yre are sent here to perform, and which the people are paving us to perform. It is a bill to create unnecessary offices and to incur unnecessary expenses; and, worse than that, it is a bill to postpone a revision, and to take the question for a time, at least, away from the forum to which the Constitution has committed it, and send it to an irresponsible roving Commission whose report can not possibly be considered and disposed of during the existence of this Congress. If tijjj measure shall be passed it requires no gift of prophecy to foresee that there will be no revision of the tariff or any relief from Its admitted hardships in particular instances for the next two or three years. All legislation must be suspended, and all consideration of the subject must be postponed until these Executive appointees have informed the Lesisla tive Department what Its duties are, and then we are to be graciously permitted to resume our Constitutional authority to determine how our own constituents are to be taxed. The unheard of measure was bad enough as a postponing scheme, but that was by no means its most objectionable feature. Us grand purpose was to perpetuate the present unjust tariff to compel the great mass of the people to pay tribute to monopolists, to favor the rich at 'the expense of the poor, and these facts were pointed out in Congress while the Tariff Commission bill was pending. During this discussion Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, introduced exhaustive figures con firming his arguments in regard to the Injustice of the preseut tariff, lie said: Take the man who has an income derived from his labor of (300 and the man who has an income of a million. The poor laborer consumes the whole of his income from necessity. Suppose the millionaire only consumes as much through penuriousness. Now, suppose you tax all the necessaries of life through your tariff, aud what will result? If you impose a tax of 50 per cent, upon the articles consumed by the laborer and those consumed by the rich man, then to buy the necessaries of life, which without duty be could buy for (200, he must expend all of the 1300 earned by him. In other words, he pays 50 per cent, in their enhanced value upon their original cost That is to say, he will pay $100 out of the income he earns as a tax upon the necessaries of life which he consumes. This is S3 per cent upon his entire income. Now take the millionaire, or the man who spends the same amount cf his Income as the poor man. He pays (100 upon the articles he consumes and no more, and that H00 is a tax of the one-hundredth of 1 per cent upon his income of a million. The poor man therefore pays three thousand times as much in proportion to his income as the rich man does, and therefore the burden of taxation under your tariff system, by being laid upon the articles of necessary consumption, are to the extent the income is used in purchasing these articles a heavy and onerous tax upon the income of the laboring classes. You tax all the income buys Jwhlch is equivalent to taxing the income ltseli and exempting the articles bought from all taxation. And this Is what you call protection to the American laborer, by which the poor became poorer and the rich richer through your system of taxation. This makis a tax upon consumption strike down the poor while it benefits the rich. It is a heavy tax upon the wages of labor, and exempts capital from its proportionate burdens. But the protectionists and monopolists, by virtue of the Tariff Commission, have gained a signal triumph over the people. The flagitious wrongs of the present tariff are to be continued indefinitely, and unless the people elect Representatives who do their duty as legislators, class legislation will continue, and millionaires will grow richer while the burdens of men of moderate incomes will continue to pay them tribute. Such is the outcome of the Tariff Commission business. A State Senator will be chosen this year from Vanderburgh County, notwithstanding the decision of Attorney General IUI J win that it will not be necessary. There are some things that people of fiiir intelligence understand quite as well as great lawyers, and one of them is that the people have a right to be represented. Under the operation of the old law the terms of Senators elected two years ago will expire ou 02-tober-12. lsHl, and such Districts, under the Constitutional amendmeot changing the time of holding; elections from October to November, would be without representation from October 12 to November 12 of that yetr If they neglected to elect Senators at the cornitrar elections. It might be of no consequence tobe without representation for one month at a time when the Legislature would not be in regular session, but suppose an extra session should be called at that time, as there might be what then? It might cost the Democrats a United States Senator, or bring upon us some kind of legislation that would be 01 great disadvantage. The Democrats of Vanderburgh Will nominate a candidate for the State tie rate, and will probably elect him.-'Evansville Courier. The simple question relatinz to the elec tion of State Senators is, Shall the laws be I obeyed? Governor Porter has declared the '

law Constitutional. It was passed by a "Republican Legislature, and was signed by Governor Porter. In such matters the opinion of Attorney General Baldwin amounts to nothing. Helsas much boind to obey the laws as any other citizen. lie baa no power to re f eke a law, nor should he use his high office to countenance disobedience to law. When the law is pronounced unconstitutional by the proper tribunal it will be set aside. Till then. Republican anarchists ruay prudently keep silent.

HON. JOSEPH E. M'DONALD AND THE TARIFF COMMISSION. A Washington special says ex-Senator McDonald, of this :a to, U strongly recommenledby hisfrlend.i for the vacancy on the Tariff Commission, caused by the decliuation of Phelps, of Missouri, and that Mr. McDonald "is a stroDg revenue reformer and moderate protectionist.,, The latter statement is not true. Mr. -McDonald I strongly free trade, and has not a drop of protection blood in his political veins. If he is being urged for thiJ position some good friend of General Garfield should take pains to inform the Presideut that Mr. McDonald's abuse of General Gar field on account of the socalled Morey letter was in the highest degree indecent and vindictive, and General Garheld was greatly ontmged by Mr. McDonald's course it this regard, president Arthur can hardJy afford to appoint to office a Democrat who was conspicuous for his abuse of General Garfield Indianapolis Times. For grotesque partisanism, flatulent malignity and idiotic reasoning, the foregoing from the Times is entitled to a blue ribbon. Once for all let it be remembered that Republicans were the original denunciators of James A. Garfield. . Let it be remembered that the Polar d Committee was a Republican Committee. Let it be remembered that the organization in Mr. Garfield's own Congressional District, which denounced him without stint, which piled upon him accusations and charges of the most defamatory character, which covered his name with obloquy and loaded him down with calumny, was a Republican organization in which no Democrat had a voice, and let it be remembered that the Cincinnati Commercial, a Republican organ, sought to defeat Mr. Garfield's nomination for Tresident by charging him with transactions calculated to sink his name to fathomless depths of ignominy; and still further let it be. remembered that when Guiteau's deadly bullet had subjected Mr. Garfield to eighty days of untold agony, and finally left him, a mass of skin and bones and pus, dead on his coolingboard, the Indianapolis Journal declared that Arthur had taken his place "by the act of God." It was Republicans who maligned Garfield, if he were maligned. It was " Republicans who pulled down the black cap over his face and who gibbeted him before the world as a bad man. If the Times denies it we pledge our selves to produce the record. Hon. Joseph E. McDonald never in his life said such things of James A. Garfield as were said by the Poland Committee. Mr. McDonald never denounced James A. Garfield in lan guage such as his own Republican neighbors employed to forever blacken his character. Mr. McDonald never charged him with such vile corruptions as did the Cincinnati Commercial and other Republican organs, whose utterances are on record. Does the Times desire to have Republican testimony brought forward upon the sub ject? If it does il can be accommodated to the extent of any demand it may make. As for the Morey letter, to this day it is not known who wrote it. It had the appearance of Garfield's chirogr&phy, and it sounded like Garfield. At any rate, Mr. McDonald was neither indecent nor vindictive in what he said about the matter. Mr. McDonald is never indecent or vindictive. lie has no such traits of character. They are peculiar to Blaine and Conkling, Star Route thief Dorsey and Don Cameron, Grant and Gnitean, Such were the men who fashioned the bloody chasm out of which Guiteau, the assa3sin,crawled when Jas. A. Garfield, in the majesty of his manhood, was shot down to harmonize the Republican factions. Joseph E. McDonald is as far above such men as the fixed stars are above lightning bugs. Again the Times says it is not true that Mr. McDonald is "a strong revenue reformerand a moderate protectionist." We say that it is absolutely true, and we would scarcely hesitate to say that the Times knows it to be true. "We do not know that Mr. McDonald would like to have a place on the Tariff Commission; bnt this we know, that in all regards, in breadth of . 1 1. A " 1 1 . 1 , luuugat, 111 a nouie sense 01 justice, in capa- 1 bilities, familiarity with the subject, and in J all else that goes to make up a statesman, no man named for the Commission compares with him. Mr. McDonald would give character and dignity to the Commission, and .the people would have a representative whose integrity could never be wined and dined out of him. But the bizarre feature of the Times' article which we have repro. duced is found in its tail end, where it intimates that Arthur, for the distinguished regard be entertains for Garfield's memory, will hardly appoint bo great a foe to the dead President as Mr. McDonald. This is a ' huge joke, a colossal whim, a ridiculous vagary, a mental kink. Has Arthur ever shown any regard whatever for Garfield? If so, will the Times say when, where, how, in what instance? Was it In his deep devotion to Conkling? in his ceaseless raid upon halfbreeJs? Tshaw! Out upon such nonsense. The Tariff Commission will be composed of protectionists and the representatives of monopolies. Arthur will doubtless take care of his friends, but the Times, therefore, is under no obligations to exhibit its asinary qualities when referring to Mr. Joseph E. McDonald. Wi once again repott Miat unless the next "Legislature agree to these a: lendmeuts they can not be submitted to the people. Tho 3 late Constitution Is our authority for saying so. Indianapolis Sentinel. So far, so good. Now will the Sentinel go a little farther and inform the public whether it is in favor of the nxt Legislature aurteing to these amendments so mat they can be submitted to the people for their approval or reject! an ? Rockpwrt btmocrat. , The Sentinel has no personal objection to the amendments being submitted to the people, but the question of "submission" has been absolutely settled by the Constitution, as we have quoted time and time again,. The Legislature can not "agree" merely for the purpose of "submitting." Hear now two Republican Senators from Marion County on this point. General George II. Chapman, in a recent letter to the Indianapolis Journal, says: . There is nothing in the sixteenth article requiring the General Assembly to -agree to" a props d amendment "so that it may be submitted." On the contrary, tho clear, imperative requirement is that the General Assembly hall consider tne merits of the proposition, and agree to It, or not, according as their judgment EhaU approve

or condemn it, and that Constitutional provb? ion binds thepeople as well as the Individual Leg-L-Utors. Dr. Van Vorhis, another Republican Senator from this County, says: I coTi-dude, therefore, that the next General Assembly will be compelled to consider the merits of each of the proposed amendments, and each member will be bound to vote on the merit of each amendment according to his personal convictions before he can cast a vote "to submit." General Tom Bennett, another Republican high up in that political organization, says: No fair man can say he is opposed to the proposed prohibitory amendment, and yet arge its submission to the people, for he knows that before It can be submitted to the people it has to be agreed to as a proper thing to put into the Constitution, and that aereernent has to be made by the Senators and Representatives he helped to elect and Instruct, and therefore has himself

agreed to It, and can not afterward with consist ency or honor jppoEe it. The duty, then, of members of the next General Assembly will be to consider the amendments carefully on their merits, and then vote to a.rree or disagree to them from personal convictions alone,without any refer ence to "submission," which has been settled and put beyond the reach of political par ties by the State Constitution.

Dr. Norman Kerr recently stated, in Exeter Hall, London, that ot the 3l.00J.000 cases of disease every year in the United Kingdom a large proportion arose from indulgence in Intoxicants.

Giffakd, an eminent French aeronaut, who secured euthanasii by an invention oT his own for inhaling chloroform, has bequeathed to the Government a sum to be devoted to Institutions in which persons suffering from painful and incurable maladies may be allowed, with the consent of their friends, to shorten life by ptdn killers, under the direction of medical experts. Henry Cabot Lodge, ia his Decoration Day address in Massachusetts, said: "There is the lailroad question. We have built up a vast system of railroads which have become so powerful that unless we control them they will soon control us. They must be dealt with, not in a spirit of wild, unreasoning. Ignorant hostility end hate, but wisely, Srmly, carefully, and after long and patient investigation." Dr. Willard Parker was Induced to study medicine in rather an unusnal way. When In his Freshman year at Harvard, his "chum" met with an accident w hich required the services of a surgeon. The late Dr. .John C. Warren, the famous Bostna surgeon, was called, and his positlveness in the diagnosis and kill in .the treatment of the injury so impressed young Parker that he resolved to devole his life to the study of medicine. GriTAC s counsel is fast exhausting the possibilities of any interference with the verdict of the jury and the sentence bythe trial Judge. The refusal of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia on Monday to reopen the case, for the reason that they had "heard it patiently, fully and fairly, md that a reargument would bring them to no other conclusion than that at which they had arrived," was followed yesterday by Judge Wylie's denial of the motion for a revision of the record in the case. This leaves Mr. Reel without any further remedy in the local Courts of the District. There'seeins now to be no other chance except to apply to a Justice of the United States Supreme Court for a writ of

habeas corpus to bring the question of Jurisdiction befoie the Tribunal. But the xealous counsel is not likely to meet with any better success In this move than in those which have just been made in vain. Hence the chances that Guiteau will not be hanged three weeks from Friday are rather slim. An American who Is traveling la Europe writes as follows to the editor of the Buffalo Express: "Let me tell you one thin, my friend. The country and the people that to-day have the least to complain of, the most to be grateful for and the least to fear for many a year to come are the United States of America. Sundin on this side our controversies at home, contrasted with those which harass and menace every great Nation in Europe, seem to me but the natural effervescence of a prosperous democratic people."

AN OPEN LETTER

From the Hon. Wm. Taylor, lato Senator of Mass., OF GENERAL PUBLIC INTEREST JUST AT THIS SEASON. A GRAPHIC PRESENTATION OP IIIS OWX CASE. GtnÜeixtTi ,-Tony tbatlam gratefat, la onJy a poor expression of roy fctlings, but it is the bet word I can ueo, for I feci it in every tense of the word. I have been a great sufferer with kin diseases for the last twelve (12) vtars. Mj lead an3 face being covered with aore, I eould not reat with the barning beat and itching cf tbe parta affected, and was confined to my bouse for weeks ot a time. My disease has beer; caUed Scrofulous Eczema, of a most aggravated typo, ty many physicians, but 1 doubt if ever fully understood by any of them. It tu - more like a combination of several skia humor. I Lave spent much money seeking a cure, and in IStT I went to Europe and consulted some cf te best physicians ia London. I received temporary relief enly, for In the spring it would break out again as bad as ever. When I came back to Eoston, I was told by many friends that Dr. (whose reputation for the cure cf those diseases was of the highest order) could core me. I waited on the doctor ; ho prescribed for mc. I followed Lis advice for six months, and I can aafely aay, vdiLout any Improve, rnent. I tried other physicians, and among them East Dr cf Boston, and Dr. of city proper, but nil to no purpose. They did me no good : their rernedie were so ineffectual that at no time did I feel that a cure would result from them. Now. abont three months ago, Mr. Meehan, a gentleman well known to Boston people, called my attention to your Cttictra Kemedies and promiied wonderful result if I would only make a trial. II told me of his own cxjieriencc with it, and so persevered on me that I went with him to a drag store and bongbt them, and commenced to use them accordtng to the directions. There was so much humor lodged within the skin, that as soon as I commenced the use of Cmcrm it came to the surface and festered, until vatt quantities had come out and greatly intensified my suflerings for about two weeks. But I did not mind this,as I f?lt that I was going to get rid of the humor when I saw it coming to the surface in such large quantities. After the first two or three weeks' use of these remedies, I was greatly rnconraged by a gradual lessening of Uic iiif!ammaiin-.of a number of painful sores I carefully, faithfully and cheerfully followed tbo directions to the letter, feeling each week Bearer a cure, until at the present moment, after three months use of CirricritA Remedies and twelve fears of as constant suffering as was ever endured, cuu say that I am cured, and pronounce my case the moct remarkable on record. I have been so elated with my success that I have stopped men on the street who were afflicted and told them to get the CmcvKA Kehedies, and they would euro them. This is wby I am f o grateful to you, for I believe them to be the best aud greatest d:covery of the ace. and that they will cure all who are suffering with these diseases. I may add that I took co internal medicine but the Crncrru Reoi.ytt, the New Blood Purifier. WILLIAM TAYLOIi. BoTOX, Aug. 23, IS7S. To JA . TT it Potter, Loston. The CrncrRA Besolvtxt, the New Blood rariTi er, is not a virulent poieon concealed under an innocent vegetable name, nor is it a senseless mixture of nauseous drug, but a grand medicine, every Ingredient of which lias a purpose and a over beyond any blood purifier or alterative ever before compounded.

Meauwhile.'every extern. d evidence of disease, every pitch or blotch of itclsirg scaly or pustular humor has been remove d l v thb external application of CtTicurtA and CnutRA Poap, the greet Skin Cures.
