The&x are some of the readers of the Senti nel who remember the general excitement attending the arrest of a colored man named John Freeman as a 'fugitive slave by Pleasant Ellington, of Georgia, in 1853, under the "fugitive slave act." The claim of the . planter ras disproved, and Freeman proved to be a free man in fact as well as name. The affair made quite a hero of him for awhile. Those who recall it may feel interested in knowing that his wife was the daughter of one of the slaves brought to this State and manumitted by Colonel Willis G. Conduitt, father of our esteemed fellowVitizen, Alex ander B. Conduitt, the wholesale grocer on South Meridiantreet, and one of the few survivors of the (institutional Convention f f UW, ns4 &9 J$U fcwcj münz 9 frt

memorable session of the Legislature of 1844-45, when Jesse D. Blight's casting vote as Lieutenant Governor and President of the Senate postponed the election of United States Senator till the next session, and thus secured his own election. Mr. Conduitt was the intimate and trusted friend of the leading Whigs of that day. Joseph G. Marshall, George G. Dunn and others, and was a Whig himself as long as there was a Whig party to belong to, and then became and remained a Douglas War Democrat.

The Sentinel and the Farm Guide for 8 1.23. POWDERLY'S EVOLUTION OF LABOR. , Some doubt has been thrown on the genuineness of the circular of Towderly, but it bears internal evidence ot truth, as a whole, at least, and Mr. Fowderly's subsequent remarks, both at Scranton an 1 Philadelphia, bear out the conclusions of the circular. But, leaving this aside, it is what a man of Mr. Powderly's antecedent history and orderly progressive policy would lead one to judge he would write at a time like this. The advice is wise and its conclusions farreaching, and we believe it will do more to overcome the unfavorable opinions that the rapid accession of strikes and trivial boycotting, and the property destruction they have caused in the public mind than anything that could have happened. It is exactly language that will give to the labor problem the force of an intelligent impulse, and weaken the fever of brute force that would degrade it to a meaningless and. resultless and destructive riot. ' What is there in it that the most radical Knight, if a reading and thinking one, can condemn? As a whole it is a plea for prudence and patience. Concretely it is statement of an important fact, a fact that any Knight whose judgment is not obscured by the passion of strife and, perhaps, of disappointment, will certainly admit that it is totally impossible for human nature to substitute conditions that are absolutely necessary, not only to social existence, but to physical bread-and-butter existence, by other conditions, however beneficial they may be in theory, or in time might Income in practice, and survive. Speaking to the man whose convictions are toward radical changes, we would tell him this: That this is an age where the means of subsistence are not within individual control. Formerly, when the planting and the reaping and the spinning and the weaving and the matinee of food and clothing, and even the rude tools of a century ago weie usually sufficient, was the daily business of every family, perhaps supplemented with a village blacksmith, miller and shoemaker, each man w3 in the truest sense his own master, and could nearly dispense with the rest of the world. But to-day the railroad, and the concentration of industry by machinery, has made whole towns that do nothing but make shues, others that do nothing but raise coal, others that only manufacture iron, while whole States and Territories are given to the production of cotton, others to wheat, others to meat production. There are great bodies of men who do nothing but carry these productions from one to the other, s.nd others who do nothing but distribute them. Now then, suppose you introduce any thing or measure that would suddenly stop all this? If the towns and sections given up to the making of shoes and clothing and coal and iron and flour and wheat and cotton and meat, all stop, if the carriers stop delivering, how will the shoemaker and the tailor and the miner and the metal-worker get bread and meat? These industries are hundreds, yes thousands of miles apart and without railroads could no"; be brought together in weeks or months. Stop these industries for a week, and there would be suffering. Stop them for a mouth and there would result the greatest, most widespread failures this planet ever knew. And it is in just this interdependence of men on one another separated by wide reaches of territory that lies this prodigious monopoly question, and this prodigious labor question. But it also shows how perfectly powerless any organization of whatever kind or of whatever strength would be to suddenly disturb and paralyze the nice adjustment nature herself has made by which all these people are fed and clothed, or if it were not powerless how completely destructive it would be. If all tte people in the world were combined in a single labor organization, and it should attempt to change this state of things except by instantly substituting for It another equally automatic, the world would fail. Mr. l'owderly tees, as every one may see who will reflect calmnly for five minutes that labor organization can not execute the impossible. To any who are misled by the mistaken paralied of the French revolution, and who may imagine it could be repeated in America with tbe same good result that time has demonstrated did really flow from it, we will say: The French revolution was a revolution in a single city. The Paris mob overthrew the government which in effect was a Paris government and put themselves in its place. Paris did not make the iron, nor raise tbe coal, nor make the clothing, nor raise t le wheat nor make the flour of France. Ihe necessities of life were as a whole created in each family for itself, and each family had the means of life, however crude, in its own controL Division of labor was but just beginning, it had not then become ingrained. France could exist with Paris or without it, and the excesses of the mobs in cities did not destroy the physical means of life. Yet with all this, the confusion was great. Slight, as compared with the present, as was the independence of French industry, the greatest privations ensued. Crude as were the means of intercommunication, and independent as was the individual, starvation stalked through the land, and it required the genius of a Napoleon to set the revolution on the path of method and order, and to accomplish the good that it afterwards proved to be. No such revolution is possible in America, für reasons above given, even if the entire country were to attempt it. But because mankind, separated by so many leagues of distance, is so absolutely dependent upon each other for the very means of life, and, therefore, incapable of self-support, shall mankind consent that the springs of this delicate balance be operated and used by a few selfish men whom, for convenience, we jrjve the collective nane Monopoly, and who, by the very helplessness of Individuals, and even of cities and whole districts, hold them as with bands of iron, tad mould them into exponents of the almighty dollar? tot Tfca public 071 no.

The honest employer says No. The workingman says no. Do not believe for a moment that the American people will permit themselves to be thus bound and held in the slavery of necessity. Slow as the movement has grown, it is now the great issue, and there is no power that can stop it, and no sophistry that can obscure it, and there are no workingmen who will hinder it by incendiarism who will not be extinguished by other workingmen, who see not only that monopoly mast be subordinated, but also see how it can be subordinated, and who see that the way to subordinate it is not to destroy the very means of existence of the whole of humanity. Much has already been accomplished. Legislatures, courts, and Congress and President, workingmen, manufacturers and merchants, and ministers of the gospel, and lawyers, and politicians, and editors, are ail at work at this moment in the solution of this great problem of humanity. Labor in the vanguard, supported consistently and long by thinking men, and by a few newspapers, among which the Sentinel is proud to be, have paved the way to this great question until all America is of one mind, that monopoly must go, while all are conscious that it must go so that in its abscence mankind will not be deprived of life and power and civilization. Mr. Fowderly, we think, almost prophetically says, in referring to his programme of policy for the Knights to pursue, that "if these things are done the next five years will witness the complete emancipation of mankind from the curse of monopoly," and Mr. Fowderly is right. But it is inferred Mr. Fowderly did not write it. Whoever did write it was a friend of his country, a friend of labor, a student of events and a leader among men. It evinces that the writer not only perceives the evil, but also perceives the impediments that lie before those who would overcome it. In every sense It is the production of a master mind and an exact statement of truth, and we believe Mr. Powderly wrote it.

The Weekly Sentinel and the American Agriculturist for 82, only 60 cents more than the price of the Agriculturist. REV. MR. JONES AND OLD FASHIONED THEOLOGY. A little controversy has sprung up ia this city over the alleged indecency of some of Rev. Sam Jones" outgivings, particularly an extract quoted by a correspondent of one of tbe morning papers. There was nothing in that extract to deserve the savage censure it got. It was quite aj decorous as became the subject, end the subject was an eminently proper one to discuss in the pulpit that is, the demoralizing influence of fashionable dressing, or undressing, and dancing. A thousand papers have treated this same matter in much the same way, quite as frankly and a good deal more pithily, without a breath of their indecency from anybody. Why Mr. Jones' less eüective and equally decorous denunciation of the indecorous exposures and equivocal situations of fashionable ladies at fancy balls should provoke condemnation, is not visible to ordinary moral perspicacity. We have no admiration to waste on the Kev. Jones, lie says some very good things in a very effective way, but nothing better or in better form than can be heard in a thousand pulpits every Sunday. The collections of his "sayings" that the papers make can be matched from the sermons of enough preachers to make a handsome addition to the census of the New Jerusalem. If he had not attained notoriety by other means, these utterances would never lift him to it. He does good, no doubt; not by the occasional snap and smartness of his "sayings," for a witticism never converted anjbody, but by his earnestness, his d.rectness, and his coarseness. We quote his coarseness among his effective agencies for coed, as Byron quoted "wrath and partiality" among the good qualities of Milford's History of Greece, because they "made him write with earnestness and energy." Mr. Jones' coarseness hits squarely the tasts of a ..large class who are as inaccessible to the grades of rhetoric as the grace of the gospel. He fires too low for people of education and refinement, and covers them with dirt, like a bullet that strikes the ground half way to tbe man it is shot at. But he shoots over nobody's head. His shot goes straight to the mark of many a "low down" listener, who would leave Beecher or Talmage for a "nigger song" in a minute. The coarseness Is just their style. It pleases them and they stay to hear it. Like the scepticle hearers of Goldsmith's old preacher who "Came to scoff and remain to pray," these "lewd fellows of tbe baser sort" come to be tickled with a style of talk that is odd and funny in the pulpit and soak in with it a little and a little more wholesome suggestion ol living well and dying decently. He returns too, to tbe old fashioned theology of the camp meeting of forty years ago, the Peter Cartwright and Old Jimmy Havens style, the fire and brimstone hell and everlasting roasting of impenitent sinners which in this generation has fallen in a most decided "innoculous desuetude." It Is a novel doctrine now. Origen's Eschatology or the Herisy of Tatian, who taught the eternal punishment of Adam and Eve and the sinfulness of a meal diet, is hardly more so. And this novelty draws hearers, too, men of the coarseness of intellectual fibre that relishes such rough diet, as the rai!-mauler relishes fat pork and cabbage, or Sam Corvel "bacon and greens." We don't mean that there are no others affected by the same style of appeal or exhortation, for there is abundant assurance that men of the best culture and brains have been wholesomely touched by the Georgia Evangelist, but that there is a very large class of men who can be best reached by Mr. Jones' processes, and to that class he is doing a service that very probably a better man, with a better style, could not do. Get five of your neighbors to take Sentlnat and your own will be paid for. Senator Ihoalls of Kansas proposes to Change the day of the President's Inauguration, from March 4, to April 30. So that fair weather may be assured for the occasion, and the numerous cases of pneumoina provoked by exposure in the bleak blizzards ot early March be avoided. "Many liv.es," says the announcement, "have been shortened by the experiences of that day." That ia an argument certainly, but if bad weather is a reaone for no chanee. There ia a good deal ot

virtue in an old custom, a venerable holiday, in any adhesion to the innocent habits or observances of the generations that hare passed away. It is our form of reverance for our fathers, and a people can never be seriously corrupted that retains its venerationfor the virtues of the dead from whem they sprang.

BISMARCK'S COUP DE ETAT. Bismarck has threatened, with his usual brutal frankness, a coup de etat on the German Parliament. He reminded his hearers, while making a speech on the necessity of increasing the Imperial revenue, of the fate of the old Bundestag, that was founded upon treaties and laws, and that Germany was contented to see fall, "and the Reichstag might possibly have a similar end if it refused to fulfill its duties to the Empire." This is surprisingly like the speeches of the Kings of France to the rim Etats, before those Kings concluded to do without that body altogether. But we can see no resemblance between the German Reichstag, that in its essence is representative of a nation, and functionary to aational legislation, and the old Bund, that was, at best, a patched-up affair, consisting, in fact, of Ministers Plenipotentiary to the German Empire from the independent Western German States and Principalities. The Reichstag, while in a sense representative of these same States, has lost its ministerial character and become merged, to a great degree, as representatives of the German people and of the Empire, rather than of the Principalities. The Bund was nothing more than a political alliance of independent powers, and that it readily melted away under the aspirations for National unity that took tangible shape after Sadowa, and became distinctly lormulated in a nomogenous federation at Versailles, was natural in that its relations were international, rather than national or popular. None but a German in Germany can tell just how far the Reichstag is yet representative of the disintegrating tendencies of the principalities toward more complete autonomy, or whether there is not yet among these states some of that ancient virus that made them the foot-ball of French and Austrian diplomacy for centuries, and not apparent only to the German diplomatic service. But most probably the trouble Bismarck finds with the Reichstag is in the fact that it is becoming a rising and powerful exponent of the popular voice. It has shown restiveness lately at increasing the already over-burdened tax lists, and thrice has positively refused to consider Bismarck's measures. But Bismarck must have money. His heavy arrangements and collossal plans require more and more and more, and the Germans, overpopulated and poor, and already staggering under the load, can not give more. There is danger that Bismarck Will stir up the slumbering spirit of Democracy all throughout Germany, unless it soon becomes evident that the sacrifice is demanded as a measure of national existence. This Bismarck is endeavoring to supply by driving public attention to the old watch on the Rhine. German papers teem with fierce invective against their ancient enemy of Gaul, but the Gaul give3 no sign, at least, that he is anything but the peaceable money-making citizen he appears to be, quietly getting along with his Republic. Unless there is more reason for this alarm than appears on the surface, Bismarck is liable to overshoot themai k in directing German eyes on the Rhine. German eyes, while searching for objects of aggression, may see more in the peaceful French Republic than enemies. They may be led to contrast themselves as the conquerng people with the people they have conquered, and be led to wonder why the hard conditions of war seem to have reversed themselves, and draw conclusions that Republics, after all, are better than Empires, especially as they see that great tax lists are no longer required to keep up the state of the crown, and the many Trinces and nobility of Germany, that collectively drain so much of the resource of the people. Bismarck's policy is bold, it must be brilliant and progresseively successful to succeed. It will fall on! the first reverse, as the Third Napoleon's fell. It would not be unfair, as Germany gave a Republic to France for France to give a Republic to Germany. Stranger things have happened. We call special attention to our ; terms of six Weekly Sentinels for 85; twelve for 10. COST OF OPERATING TELEPHONE EXCHANGES. We give the cost of operating sundry telephone exchanges, from figures given by the American Bell at a late hearing before the Legislature of Massachusetts. Boston exchange, costing in 1SS3 $129,000, is as follows for July, 1SS3, a fairly representative month: Gross earnings, $20,479.03; expenses, pay of operators, $11,763.24; repairs and maintainance, $1,91)0.18; reconstruction, $405.18; other expenses, principally payments to tbe Bell Company, $7,217.54. This leaves a clear profit for the month of Jury'of $14,716. 68 after paying all rentals, royalties,' commissions, ex-territorial commissions and Western Union commissions to the American Bell Company. At this rate the annual profit of operating Boston exchange is $17G,C09.23 on a plant valued by the Bell Company at not over $129,000. This gives a profit Of about 140 per cent, yearly on the total cost of the exchange, and all the figures are compiled from tbe statements of the company itself, and are as unfavorable as they can possibly make them. It is claimed that the cost of operating exchanges is greatly increased with the number of subscribers, yet it will be noticed that the total cost of operators is less than 10 per cent, of the gross revenue. Yet, with this showing, the attorney of the Bell Company 0PP0SC3 any reduction in the Boston rates. It also appeared at this hearing that exchanges not operated by the Bell Company, but sub-let to individuals in Montpelier, Yt, ; Laconia and Plymouth, N. IL, and other similar towns, using from 200 to 50 telephones, are now running at good profits on a rate per month of $2 to $3. The Southern Massachusetts Telephone Company, operating Taunton, Brockton,

FaU Kver and New Bedford, Mass., lets it telephones at a standard rate of 13 per station, and makes a handsome dividend for its stockholders. It was also clearly shown that tbe com pa nies in Masachusetts really netted more profit in running at a low rate than at the increase, trat the increase demanded was by reason of the new steck given to the BeU Company being entitled to draw dividends. Petitions by the thousand are pouring into the Massachusetts Legislature for the passage of a bill similar to the Williams bill.

Indiana is a great State. She was among the first to adopt electric light for cities; first to discover the induction system of telegraphy; first to introduce the blessings of the Wabash chill; fir it to rally in defense of the Union ; first to wheel into the Democratic column after the dose of the war; first to establish a rate for telephone service; first to fix a regular commercial value of $2 on political suffrage; first in war first in peace, and during the past year has had within her border seven first class impromptu neck-tie matinees. It would seem that the illness of Secretary Manning was complete nervous exhaustion, and would permanently unfit him for public life.

Jay Gould threatens to bring suits for damages against individual strikers who have property and are responsible, some of whom, he claims, are worth $15,000 and $20,000. It would be a curious outcome of the ease. The Globe-Democrat says: Labor troubles always put Senator Vest in mind Of his Scdalia strike story. He has been telling it recently, lie was attorney for the Missouri, Kansas ami Texas in 1877, when the troubles occurred. At Sdalia tbe strikers took possession of the railroad yards and property, and did about as they pleased for several days. As the legal adviser of the company the Senator had much to do with the negotiations for the settlement of the dirtV-r-ences. At last it seemed as if everything was satisfactorily arranged. Mr. Vest went down to the hall where the strikers' committee was in session. The papers were read and the terms were fairly dicus.ved, the strikers expressing themselves as willing to raise the emoargoon traffic and go to vork. There seemed to be nothing more U do. wheu a fctriker arose and with, great gravity said there was one thing to be considered yet, and doubtiess Mr. Vest could give an opinion upon it. He reminded them that, as they well knew it was .Sunday, and he desired to know if the strikers turned the property over to tbe railroad company on that day whether it would be a legal act. The New York Sun strikes the nail squarely on the head when it remarks: Yet tbe revival of business and the driving away of depression and distress are simple and easy problems for whoever has his eyes open, and pan see. If any one doubts this, let him ponder a little over the gigantic strikes now in progress, the jrreatest and worst we nave ever known. The remedy consist" in abolishing the use ef gold as our standard of values, and in substitutiv silver for it. Then a new life will begin, just as it began when the great discoveries of sold were mrt in California and Australia. Then thcie will be a boom in business, and prosperity will be restored. But as long as the steadily appreciating gold standard is adhered to stagnation, depression, and distress will be the portion of our country. It is by copying after nature that man gets best results.

We are permitted to publish the following extract from a private letter to the editor of this raper, received from Colonel Charles Denby, the Minister to Chiaa: I was shocked and horrified at the news of the death of Mr. Hendricks. I had just written him a loug letter, inviting Mrs. Ueodricks and him to visit me hare. I counted securely on their corninn, and I was going to make it a grand occasion. He would havq been received with all honor and courtesy in the Kast. I always loved the mau. I had known him long and intimately. I shall never forget a brilliant day when 1 entertained him, Hon. J. E. McDonald and Hon. D. W. Voorhees at my house at Evansville. No one else was present. We were together some hours. Tbe conversation took a wide range, and with three such masters talking unrestrainedly In private intercourse, there was a How of wit and humor and information which could not be surpassed In anv company in the world. His death brings back vividly to my recollection that other death which preceded it that of my old preceptor and friend, t'onrad Baker, as pure a man, and as able a lawyer, and as honest a statesman as Indiana ever produced. My relations with Mr. Hendricks, though the occasions of my seeing him were not very frequent, were always delightful. I ha i sometime., law business with the great law film of which he was the leader. I sometimes playod whist with Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks, and the lamented General Love, at the Bates. Mr. Hendricks struck me. somehow, as a great big kind-hearted boy. His apparent simplicity often amused me, while his genUeness and gracious manners charmed me. lie was as puis in every relation as a man could bv as cont-idorate and honest as it is possible to be rare and ueautiful conversationalist, a great lawyer, an open and honorable statesman. In, other States- than Indiana, be was misunderstood. He passed, somehow, for a "trimmer." We, who saw trim year alter year leading the fore front of the battle, wrestling against enormous odds for the principles which were a part of his. being never thought that he "trimmed As the-leader of owr forces, be fought with his own corps d 'armee a separato battle In his own way. He wanted to carry Indiana for bis party and for th good Of tae people He did not consult other leaders as to their views, but formed his own opinion of what Indiana wanted and strove independently to win success. He knew the state and her people a thoroughly as ever man did. He was the idol of the people ot Indiana, and all men ot all parties respected him, and i vast majority lved him as one loves a cherished friend. Wherein Nr. HendriCM "trimmed" politically I am wearv of conjecture. It is singular that K him and Menry Clay was vouchsafed In comaon parlance the title of Mister. AU the world) spoke and speaks of Clay as Mr. Clay, and so did all the world speak of Ileadricks. It indicates a species of respect surpassing the ordinary sentiment eatertained for those whom we knew familiarly. I could illustrate tais very example from our owa and other BtatCfi, but I simply suggest It. " The btate has suffered irreparable loss. We have lost a gentle, amiable, opright citizen, who, as loDg as history lives will be enshrined in the hearts ot Indianlans. The Nation mourns a peerk8 statesman, but we who knew him so well, will mourn one whom to know was to love.
