WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31.

The codfish catch of Sew England for the season amounts to 100,000,000 pounds, and the aristocracy are jubilant. Sexatob Jonas, in a recent interview, inclines to Senator McDonald for a Presidential candidate, and has some very kind words for Governor Hendricks. Congressman Towsshkxd. in a recent interview, declared for the old ticket or McDon aid. Tbere is a colossal amount of healthy Democratic timber in that make-up. Th Republican majority in Iowa is officially reported this morning at 2,000. Tue .Republican party is going. Think of only 2,000 in Iowa. Why, it gave three years ago 69,000. Sib Johx Ross records, that he once saw an iceberg with its peak 220 feet above water. It must have been a magnificent floater. Wish Sir John could have seen Senator Harrison. Mrs. Maswood, wife of the English hangman, died a few days after her husband. It is said that be always gave her a bottle of gin after each execution. Her demise was hast enedby intemperance. Thx republican demagogues and newspapers are looking around tor somebody to share with them the responsibility of that recent decision in regard to the civil rights bill. Keep it all to yourselves, gentlemen. There is enough to go around. . A qcestiox in morals: Which in the long run tends most to promote honesty and morality in public affairs, to call a scoundrel a scoundrel, or to call a cowardly liar a gentleman, and thus shield him from just censure and deceive good people into a wronr. estimate of his character of fitness for public position? Tux President has appointed Thursday, November 20, Thanksgiving Day. Every Democrat in town must "show up." This is our year. Let the Republicans have a monopoly of the standard old gag, "Will we have nothing to be thankful for this year?" However, . they have McMaster and a new street railway, end so have not lived in vain. lr Senator Harrison knew all the time that the civil rights bill was unconstitutional, why have we never heard from him on that pcint? He kept it all to himself wouldn't give it away, a3 it were a professional secret! Eureka! we have found it a professional secret. Guess be and John Coburn divided it between them. There are many "Daniela' in the Republican party, discovered since the civil rights decision. Be patient! and the advice is thus emphasized by a contemporary, who remarks that when a young man becomes impatient, waiting half an hour foT his girl who left the room with the remark that she would "be ready in two minutes," he should not manifest his uneasiness, but let his mind revert to the stock of patience exhibited by the physician who counted the holes or cells in the 'human lungs and discovered that the whole number wa3 174,000,000. The Washington newspaper reporter who asserts that the Rosecrans interview is true in every particular Is Will Nichols. He was at one time city editor of the Indianapolis Journal, and should be classified under the head of "the sensational " He and the Jayhawker would make a very striking team, or trotting in double harness with Eli Perkins "Will" would doubtless holdup his end of the swingle tree and keep his traces "taut " Calico Charley, of Ohio, did'nt go to war; he rallied round his yardstick at Fostoria, and in his recent address of welcome to the eterans of the Army of the Tennessee assembled at Cleveland, when he said: "Both victors and vanquished re equally satisfied glad that the Union was preserved and slavery destroyed; both follow the same flag, and both are ready at the drop of the hat to fight together for that flag against the whole world if need be." Evidently Calico Charley is all wool and a yard wide. - ! , The "Pension" Bureau is a big - thing in this country. One who knows says: "There are 1G, 000 pension agents in this country; some of them employ over fifty clerks, and a few of them a hundred clerks. But estimating only five clerks to each agent, we have a total of aeents and clerks of 90,000. These are getting a good share of the pensions Awarded to soldiers. They live on lavish appropriations made by Congress. In proportion to the vast appropriations the claim agents and plunderers increase. The soldiers don't get all the money appropriated for pensions, by a 'long shot.' " Ileal is something about the new British hangman, successor, to Mar wood. This worthy gets to be quite as "National"; in his reputation as Gladstone or the Prince of Wales. Berins is the name of the new can Jl- '' date: : ' -.

He ru very reticent at first, and refused to disclose his name, but atertrard acknowledged that . . be was Man ood's successor. When told that the . rooM and (traps had been sold as expressed regit.

'" lis is described as being stoutly built, about fire feet six inches fn height and of fair complexion, - with Ufcht whiskers and mustache.' Upon being jueatioud as to bow it was that be applied for the Tuvt k. rnrvllart that ht libvft fwinnlsritv. HftCQUld not understand how it was that he secured it, ai he täte he was one of the lant who applied, and had nothing in particular to recommend him. Helbas dressed Id the garb or a platelayer, aud spoe wiw . a decided orkshire accent. . That stormy old petrel of politics, Cassias Jf. Clay, in advocating the name of Judge lloadly for the Presidency rather Impertl nently says; Let Bayard, snd Hancock, and ThnrmM. and Pendleton, and Hendricks, aud McDonald, and Holmtn, and all other aspirants to the Presidency 1v thslr nretensions to the Democratic Con vention, and support in good faith the nominee; tben tee Republicans win go. Justas if these gentlemen ever did any thing else than leave their "pretensions," as he very impudently calls the ambitions of these great Democrats, to the Democratic Convention. They support nominees, too! Such talk as Clay indulges in makes an old-tinie Democrat tired. After doing the i.artr all the harm and devilment he could lo. he comes in at the wind up of his career and calls upon some of the best Democrats in the country to "support the nominee" of ta? next national democratic convention.

iT'h! What a farce.

THE HELLER LIBEL SUIT. The readers of the SkwixEL, at this late

day, need scarcely be reminded that exJudge Ueller about one year azo brought a civil suit against the Sxstisel and W. II. Donabey its correspondent "Don" to recover f 10,000, that amount being deemed sufficiently lar-je to heal all the wounds in flicted by the Sentinel upon His Honor by it while endeavoring to purge the fiscal affairs of Marion County of the most astonishing corruptions. In many cases, quite too nu merous to catalogue in this article, the laws had been flagrantly and continuously violated. Money, wrung from tax-payers, had been wantonly, protligately and criminally squandered. Kings rioted iu corruption, rottenness prevailed. Officials, acting under oath as the servants of the people and the guardians of their rights and interests, plundered them right and left. The vice of venality decked itself, and with unblushing impudence paraded the streets of the city. The men, guilty of these vile practices, unmasked, played the role Of Satan reproving sin. They smoked the most fragrant cigars, drank the best liquors, wore the best clothes. stuffed themselves with the best viancU, prated of their virtues, tuned their throats to the melodies of sacred songs, and bowed reverently when the robed minister, officiating at the sacred altar, engaged in prayer. The Skstisel eoncluded to open the eyes of the people to this sweltering mass of hypocrisy, venality, criminality, and general abomination. In doing this it becomes necessary to refer to Judge Heller. He was Judge of a Criminal Court. His business wa3 to obey the law himself. He was under obligations made sacred by the binding obligations of an oath to preside with clean hands. A taint or a suspicion of taint brought his official proceedings within the domain of criticism. Had he violated the law? was the supreme question. Hal he taken a dollar that did not belong to him? was what the people wanted to know. He was chosen to be a Judge by the people to punish crime to send men to prison if guilty ot violating the laws. He was expected to be a light to the community and an ornament to the Bench. Bobed in the ermine of a Judge, he was expected to keep out of the mud. His acts his public acts were proper subjects for criticism. The Sestisel availed itself of its high prerogative, and. Judge Heller wants money with which to plaster his wounds and assuage his pangs. He sues. The Sentikf.l stands ready to respond before the proper tribunal. Once it has stood trial and came forth un scathed. Judge Heller wants another trial. The Sentinel stands ready to answer, but it wants a fair trial. It pro tests against a jacked Jury. It does not want a partisan Jury, nor will it be content with such a farce. Conscious of its integrity, it scorns to vindicate its fidelity to the best interests of society by resorting to chicanery, to the vulgar arts ot those who, knowing they are guilty, seek refuge by a resort to means which degrade laws and Courts alike. The Sentinel last Wednesday found it impossible, in the opinion of its legal advisers, to have fair trial in Marion County and was compelled, therefore, to ask for a change of venue, and the case was sent to Hamilton County, and there it will be tried. As a matter of course the Sentinel will be prepared to vindicate its course, and whatever may be the result it will not hesitate in the future to expose corruption in bixh places, and seek, as opportunities offer, to warn the people against official malfeasance. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THE REPUBLICAN SUPREME COURT AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT. . A Republican Supreme Court has decided that an act passed by a Republican Congress is unconstiutionaL That is the case in a nut shell. Strike out in any direction you please and you are bound to bring up finally at the same hitching post. A Republican Supreme Court has set down on a Republican law, and abrogated it, declared it dead of no effect. Under such circumstances it is entirely agreeable to note the wranglings. contortions, the ground and lofty tumblings of the Republican organs, orators and bosses. The Republican party, in its original wake up, could not be represented with greater fairness than by comparine it to the odds and ends to be found in a junk shop. 'It was composed of remnants, in dry goods par lance, of "cut pieces:"' still, more properly, of "sweepings." Out in Colorado the Republican party, as ore. would .not have been voted as "paying dirt. , Notwithstanding these things, the Hepublican party grew, as ulcers and cancers grow. , It cdrrupted the blood and thought of the Republic Still it grew, or rather swelled. Its speech was hate, its breath pestilence Devil-fish like, when' attacked, it drew upon its inward secretions ' and . under cover of its dark duplicities, managed to maintain its power, venal to the profoundest depths of vlleness. It seated on President by fraud. then quarreled over its spoils, and murdered another President to harmonize its factions. Having accomplisned these things, it stood before .the world a colossal infamy an aggregation of fraud, robbery, perjury and profligacy Of such monstrous malignity and hideous outline that the people have determined to exile it from power. From the first it was a libel upon the genius of American institutions. It lied to live and lived to lie. It is now tumbling to pieces. ,Tue death rattle is in its throat; death sweats are on its crime-stained brow. Its thievish finpers have lost their grip; its palsied lejs bsnd beneath their load of abominations. To make matters as bad for it as patriots could wi?h, its own artisnnized Supreme Court, like a Jumbo ass. give it ft kick which com

pels it to make lite days and nights hideous

with jim-jam howls. One faction of Republicans curse the Republican Supreme Court, while another faction applaud it. The colored people in large numbers, being convinced that they hare been the victims of (lie roost execrable treacheries on the part of the Republican bosses, are preparing to abandon the Republican party by tens of thousands. They see that they have been cheated, robbed and deceived from the first, and, in support of their just complaints point to the late decision of the Republican Supreme Court. Dodging, evasion, prevarication and explanation does not answer the demand. The colored jeople say they have been dereived infamously imposed upon, and that a Republican Supreme Coiut, whose decision is indorsed by the great mass of the Republican party, is guilty of the monstrous infamy, Iu this dilemma of the Republican party patriots behold another force which will cou tribute its full share . in the final overthrow ot a party which bad its origin in hate, and which ends its existence with the maledictions of its victims lingering in its dead ears. Senator Harrison, widely known as the "Indiana iceberg," don't thaw worth a cent under the warm breath of the descendants of equatorial Africa. AU Iiis sympathy for the black man is fairly represented by the five-cent shine Ot) his boots. He treats the colored man to threadbare platitudes about the War, battles, etc., but is careful not to arraign the republican Supreme Couit for its late decision. Senator Harrison virtually says the Republican Supreme Court is right, aud that Republican civil rights legislation was wrong, and that leaves the Senator just where he began. It is supreme for the Indiana "iceberg" to attempt to tire the colored man's heart with snow-balls. He virtually confesses that the decision about which the colored men complain is right, while the colored man views it as an act of Republican treachery to bis race. The issue is iu the Repuolican party. It alone is responsible for it. It is totally fi rat and last a Republican factional fight. Intelligent colored men know they have been cheated and robbed aud deceived by Republican bosses, and now a Republican Supreme Court knocks the props from under them and lets them slide. For this, the colored people in due time will hold the Republican party to strict accountability.

THE TRUE INWARDNESS OF IT. The Republican speakers and newspapers have always charged that the Democratic party has been opposed to conferring any rights upon the colored people. That they alone are entitled to all the glory of crushing the Rebellion and setting the negroes free. As a general rule the colored people have believed this, and were thoughtlessly convinced that the Republicans were their true and obedient friends. The Democratic orators and papers have denied all of the above charges, showing that tbere were more Democrats in the Union Armv than Repubcans showing by Statistics that if every man that voted for Mr. Lincoln in 1800 had gone into the army it would not have furnished half enough to put down the Rebellion, while the fact that various Democratic Southern States( notably Kentucky )had furnished more soldiers for the Union Army than the Rebel Army. Further citing the facts that the most distinguished Generals ot the Union Army were Democrats, to-wit: Generals Hancock, McClellan, Sloe um, Rosercrans, Stoneman, Rousseau, ralmer,' Jeff C. Davis and hosts of, others. But for the sake of argument we will admit ' that no Democrat who went into the Army had anything to do with putting down the Rebellion or freeing the colored man. "We will als admit that Democratic members of the House and f cnate both spoke and voted against the passage of the civil rights bill, not that they were opposed to the colored people being protected in their civil right?, but they thought it was not constitutional. If the colored people have lost any of theTr civil rights under the late decision of the United States Courts, has any Democrat had anything to do with it? The decision was made by a Republican Court, the opinion delivered by that high apostle of Radicalism and truly loyal man, Judas Iscariot Bradley. It is a family fight AIL that the J Democratic party is required to do is to stand aside and see- the salvation of the Lord.. Mr. Harrison in " his " speech the other night very squarelv said that the decision was right as a legal proposition, not that we were merely to live because the Court of last resort had so decided,, but he said it was the law and sound in principle. Mr. Harrison is supposed to be .a great lawyer. It that was his honest opinion, why - has he not said so long ago? Tbe reason is perfectly plain. Harrison and. all the great leaders of the Republican party knew at the time of the passage of the bill that it was unconstitutional, and that tbe Democrats were opposed to it for that reason only,bnt they were determined to deceive the colored man and hold him close to his allegiance to the g: o. r. p. They knew that it would be years before the United States Court would pas3 upon the bill. Such great leaders of the Republican party as Greely, Sumner, Chase,' Trumbull, Julien and others whom the colored people had looked up to had left the Republican party but a short time before the passage of the civil rights bill; they were alarmed about their colored voters, but thev must ret up some measure to convince the colored man how well thev loved him. The Republican party passed the civil rights bill, well know ing at the time that it was unconstitutional and now such men as. Harrison and Peelle ostensibly endorse it by , saying that the decision is right. When will the colored men of this country learn that the Republican party care nothing about them further than to use them as voting machines? If. we are not mistaken in the colored voter he will resent this insult.and in the future vote as he sees proper and not in the interest of the party that has persistently used htm and at the same time deserted him. If the colored man owes his liberty aud right of suffrage to the Republican party (which we deny) they have paid the debt a hundred times and they have kept them in power for the last , ten years, and there is not three States in this Union that they can carry without , the colored vote ' CIVILIZATION AND CIVILIZERS. The hnman family, in matters of culture, refinement. Intellectual 'and moral conditions, ia divided, starting at the lowest round about as follows savage, barbarous, half civilized, civilized and enlightened. Enlightened people or Nations, by common consent,

occupy the 'most elevated position, and jnst here it may be well to remark that enlightened people and Nations are Christian; hence the dogma that Christian civilization is the best known to the world. In contemplating tbe march of civilizing ideas.' how unutterably contemptible does it appear to discus the "Mistakes of Moe.," laugh at Jonah and the whale story, question the carrying capacity of the ark, or with the awful name (if God with a small Mg." In studying Ibe march of mind, from the jungle caveof the savasre to the sun burnished elevations where Newton stood, how preposterous it appears to point oat the imperfections of man, instances of bigotry, cruelty, superstition, riesaotism, and uae them as arguments against a civilization, compared with which all other civilizations are repulsive to eye and ear and thought. We confess to an inclination just here to make comparisons between Christian civilization and other civilizations in the world, and point out their unquestioned defects, but such considerations would carry ns beyond the purpose of this writinst. Admitting as a fact, rather than for the sake of argument, that our Christian civilization, is defective, what of it? Simply this; seeing and knowing the deficiencies, the probabilities are that -remedies will be found and applied. Thus it has been in tbe past. The glory of the age in which we live is found in the fact that tbe great majority are battling against the wrong sometimes, perhaps in the wrong way, but still with an earnest desire to improve the condition of the human family. Christian civilization, as we have admitted, is not without its blemishes Under its banners tbere is ignorance, superstition, bigotry, slavery, oppression, but the man or woman is blind who does not see the mighty forces wbieti are in operation, whose mission it is to remedy such defects. The ear is deaf which fails to catch the sounds near and from afar that tell of the coming triumph of the right. We confess to unmitigated disgust for a man who would complain of the sun because he discovered upon its shining disc dark spots. The sun of our high civilization is not exempt from imperfections, but it shines with ever increasing effulgence nevertheless. If this is true of our civilization, what is to bo said of the civilizers? Who are they and what are they? The school says one. the Church, says another. Still another holds aloft the Bible and claims all for its wisdom, inspiration and vitalizing power. Then comes the devotees of science and philosophy, explorers and inventors, merchants and mariners, all claiming a right tobe recognized as forces and factors in pushing forward the conquering columns of which marshal under the banners of progress. It is well. Hero and there are discords, but harmony is in the ascendency. Some are dissatisfied because the world is not redeemed from ignorance aud the inthrallments of vice in a day or a year. Occasionally a community, a nation, takes a step backward, and this retrograde move

ment is seized upon as indicative of general disaster by those whose mental vision is imperfect. Christian civilization is destined to conquer the world. Itisacivilizttionof works, as well as of faith. Itsaraunt couriers are steam and electricity, plows and reapers, as well as Bibles and hymn books. Powder and bill and bayonets, and then tbe ballot. The songs of the harvest home must blend with the songs of Heaven. Idle idolaters must go with their images. The greed of men is a mighty force when obstacles are to be overcome. It tunnels mountains or bewi them down. It digs canals, bridges, rivers and chasms. It builds machinery and then calls upon nature to suppiy the power wind, water, steam, air and electricity to set in motion. As Christian civilization rises to its meridian glory, schools, Churche3, asylutn3 adorn the world. Liberty stretches forth its hands and reaches forth for all that is attainable within the realm of human possibilities. The step of Christian civilization is steady, gigantic, grand upward and onward. The civilizers are numerous and are increasing. He who can not look abroad and le hopeful might as well be dead An interview with Congressman Holman appeared in the News-Journal of Sunday. It concludes as follows in answer' to a question asked Mr. Holman about his candidacy for the Presidency: : "I may be a llule uncertain ss to whtt Congress may do, but lam quite certain that 1 am not a candidate for the Presidency. I have felt greatly complimented by tbe mention of my name in connection with that greatomee by tbe New Verk Suu and other Democratic and Independent papers, but 1 can assure you I have no Presidential bee buzzinc in my bonnet." "Well, what do you think will be the effect of the late Democratic victory in Onio?" "To an outsider tbe result seems to have been controlled, not by local questions, but by tbe geatraldtiftof public opinion, and clearly iudiculei acbauteof administration in the Uoverument. It has given great prominence to Ckivemor lloadly, and hit name is freely mentioned for the Presidency. Jt has also called a great deal of attention to Judce Ibnrman. who is certainly one ot tbe foremost men of our period. 1 am also glad to see that McDonald, of our own State, sliaieslu the houor of that victory. But still I think the indications are that, if Tilden concludes to accept the nomination. Tilden and Hendrtclcs will be our next candidate, and. if so, there is scarcely a shadow of doubt of their eiectiou." Judge W. S ' Holman in answer to the question, "What will the next Congress do?" sayi: " it Is hard to tell. 1 think it should in some form reduce taxation to the reasouable requirements of the nubile service, and see io it that tbe meiua available for the payment of the public debt are promptly appueo. revise our tana system ana limit the disposal of public lands adapted to agriculture to the provisions of tbe homestead Uwi Declare forfeited the railroad land grants where there has been, la (act, a forfeiture by the willfull violation ot the condition on which the errants were made.

But the originator of this piee of military tomfoolery was the in sane Emperor Paul of Russia. In the coldest days he would (Und half freezing to review bis guards, and anyone venturing to 4on a military cloak was at once degraded. This resulted la frequent deaths. His son Nicholas inherited this mania, and the Germs a Kaiser learned it from his brother-in-law.

On tbe 21th inst Richard Stephenson, a life-Ions resident of Perry County, Ind., passed away, in the seventy second year of his age. Mr. Stephenson had been in a feeble state of health for several months, but until recently his friends and neighbors were not apprebansive of fatal results so suddenly: but thfrmalady, Bright's Disease, made rapid inroad) upon his strength, to which he finally) succumbed. The deceased was the last surviving brother of Mrs. John C. Shoemaker, of this citv, who was present at the old home in Posey County when her brother breathed oat his life. It would: be difficult to speak too kindly of the man whose death we chronicle. He was one- of the best of the generation in which he lived. His life was adorned with all the virtues that dignify manhood and bless society. Throughout a life of more than three score and ten year he grew in the love and respect of his neighbors, and dead, ihey realize that a good man is gone. His life was quiet, unostentatious and serene, lie 'lived far above the petty enmities and jealousies which are the bane of society, and gave alt his influence to secure peace and good will in the community where be lived, and his high example will survive to bless all who come within its ennobling influence, lie passed away quietly,, and those who knew him best and loved him most, will think of him as one who lived well and died well. The funeral of th deceased took place oa the afternoon of the 25th, and his mortal remains will await the resurrection, in. the family graveyard, near the home of his childhood. The close of a useful life by. a. peaceful death, is well calculated to assuage the sorrows of surviving friends.' Above the grave, faith and hope clasp handsand anticipating a reunion, mourning is changed to joy unspeakable. A (iEcRTA paper prints this atatemeat: "K. W. Ward, ot Two-Kun. nasa remarfcavlo family.
