The Rev. Gilbert Da La Mfttyr.

The Rev. Gilbert D La Matvr. elected to the Forty-ixth congress as greenbacker from the Indianapolis dis trict, has been interviewed at Ualtlmore. He says he regards the financial question as the paramount issue that will absorb all others. There will be only two parties. The republican will adhere to resumption and the hard money basis. The other jarty will represent the masses of the people, and will favor a paper currency bearing the stamps of the government, nut not redeemable in old or silver. The party may be called or Utlfyor Something else. Reporter In an isstio between the two parties which you have described you would not permit your record as a republican to stand in the way of your voting for the opposition candidate for president? Mr. Do La Maiyr I should not with my prest nt convictions as to the disastrous consequences that followed the financial legislation of the republican party. My conscience would compel me to voto with the other side. Reporter Suppose that Indiana should, by a chain of possible circumstances, have thft nower to name the next president, and that the vote of the; state depended ou your vote, would you array Indiana against the republican candidate? Dr. De La M. I should feel it my solemn duty to vote for the candidate that favors the financial views of the so-called greeubackers: and in doing this I should not only be acting in ac cordance with my own feelings and convictions, but I would be carrying out the views of a large majority ot the pcoplo of my state. ReporterSuppose the opposition candidate should be a hard money democrat, standing on a hard money platform ? Dr. De La M. I should not vote for him. I have no apprehension, however, that the democrats will nominate a hard money candidate. Reporter Would you be willing to name any democratic candidate for the presidency who would be acceptable to the green iMckers, if notniuated on a soft money platform ? Dr. I)e La M. In my opinion Mr. Hendricks is more nearly In.aocord with the theories of the greenbackers than any other candidate that lias Ix-en named ; and on a satisfactory platform would perhaps command a larger vote than any other democrat that has been mentioned. This, however, is only my own individual opinion. 1 am looking at the presidential contest of I860 as of to-day; and in what I have said I assume that the same wauts will be pressing ou the country then as now. Events may happen in the meantime, however, that will create a now wjt of conditions and circumstances, which may modify my own views and change my position upon the presidential qnuMion. However, I look confidently forward to the breaking up of both the old political parties. The Weal and Sotttk. Evnivlll Courier. The Courier has said from the first that the lcson of the November and October elections teaches the importance of a close alliauce between the West and the South. The Eastera States have shown that both the Itcpuban Wv . a .a I lean auu uemocratic leaders there are in symiiathy with the Money Power. lhcy light only for the spoils of office and not for principles. Touching this point, we reproduce an Interview with Congressman Springer, of Illinois, to Which we Invite the earnest attention of all sincere opponents of the National Banks and the grasping greed of the Eastern mniiey-grabliers. Mr. bpringer attributes the result of the late elections to want of unity on the part of Green backers and Democrats. He believed if the elements of the opposition to the Republican party had oeeu united, mere would nave been a very large Democratic majority in the next Congress. ''The lesson of these elections," said he. "is that with a di vided opposition, the Republicans must succeed in the election of President in 1880. with a united opposition, how ever, three-fourths of the States in the Union can be carried by tlte Democrats. I attribute the result of the elections to the extreme measures taken by the Na tional party in advocating unlimited inflation and flat money. That has been too heavy a load for even Democrats to carry, and has given the Resumption ists vantage ground before the country, if those who are In favor of flat money Insist upon the Idea independently, it can only secure success to the Republican party, and make It Impossible for tne Democrats to sueceed. As to the solid South, be said It simply meant that the Southern people have been allewed to eleet tbeir own officers. It Is simply the result of carpet-bag rule. It is natural, that the people of the South should vote against the party that had sustained it. So far as their elections are coneerned, they have betu as peaceable and

fair a those in the Northern States, andCot 1m Time Md Material ef more so than in Philadelphia, where the KilllHar a Cat. mob, as usual, was In full poeeeseion on

ula. There are elected to the Fortvsixth Congress, 14 Democrats who will vote in Democratic caucus, 147 being a! majority over an others. The nemo crats will nrobablv elect a man in Clark 6on N. Potter's district, where Smith,! the Republican member elect, has died, a district which is largely democratic. They will undoubtedly elect one man and probably two in California. In addition to this, De La Matyr, of Indiana, two urcenbacKers in Iowa, and Murch , of Maine, will, in all probability, go into' the Democratic caucus. "As to the Presidential election, the Democrats must nominate a man for President who can carry Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. These three States, the solid South and Oregon will carry 195 electoral votes, 10 more than a majority in the electoral college. We cannot rely on New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. The old combination that se cured Til den's nomination is broken. The combined opposition in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois will have a majority in each state, of 44,000 in Ohio, 65,000 in

Indiana, and at least 25.U00 in lllinolsuue t,,e chances from these two causes

as shown by tho fall olections. This te the natural division of politics in the country South and West united-a combination that subserves both local interests and general welfare. The united opposition would have carried more than three Northern States. The vote of Maine, with a united opposition. would nave been against tne Kenubliran party. They would not have elected a single Congressman In Maine if the op

position had been united. So far as its.equaUy in his dodging.

being a victory for the Republican party,' figures will show that that party is in the minority more than a million votes In the nation."

principles of the financial policy sought to be impressed upon the administra tion of the government by tho people of) the West and boutii. bo long as the Honublicans are maintained in power, it will be impossible to make any change tor the belter. Jiy uniting our forces! the Democrats and nationals may get a half a loaf; by remaining divided, the KepublicauB will get all the bread. Until we shall have succeeded ill hurling the Money Power from the control or the government, we must pool our issues and fight the battle sidc-by-sidei just m the Democratic and Republican soldiers of tho Union, forgot their differences In trout of the common enemy of the Union.

Corn is a crop which demands rick soil It Is a gross feeder and must be abundantly supplied with plant food. There is no economy in raising 30 bush els or corn per acre, when by proper! enriemng the sou and thoroughly cult! vating It, 7o or 0 bushels could be pro dtteed. Moreover, if corn is sold in the market and not fed on tho farm, we must remember that the mineral matter whisk would be represented bv the ashas of the corn, if it were burnad. so mucH joss to tne sou.

CHIEF JUSTICE NIBLACK.

Ho Positively Stntoo That He In wot a Can ill date for tho UMitou Stntoo Senate. The Indianapolis Journal, of the 13th Inst., contained the following, concerning the candidacy for the United States Senate: "It is stated with a good deal of posi tive n ess that Uon. W. E. Niblaok, the present Chief Jnstice of the Supreme Court, has been approached by some leading: Democrats In regard to the United States Senatorship, and the dis tinguished judge has expressed his willingness to accept the position if it should be tendered him. In other words, he is willing to be a candidate if his political friends desire it." Chief Justioe Ni black is at present In the citv, and m representative of the Bun called his attention to the above statement of the Journal, and asked him if there was any foundation to such s atement, to which he replied : Ciiikk Justicb Niblack : "The whole thing is a pure fiction a cheap fabrication of some one. In the first Jlacc no one has recently approached me ou the subject of being a candidate for tne United States Senate. In the next place I am not now, nor never have for a moment, been either presently or prospectively, a candidate for the Senate. I always had a very distinct impression that there were not enough senatorships belonging to the State to go around and include me. I know of uo conceivable condition of affairs that would make me a candidate for the Senate in the present emergency. If I had any aspirations in that direction I would regard the present as a very unbecoming and inoppor tune time for me to attempt a realization. of them. The whole matter is too idle too sensational to merit serious discus sion." This is a most complete refutation of the Journal's statement and sets at rest another scheme of the Republicans to defeat the Hon. D. W. Voorhees. Vlucennes Sua. A BUSTED INSTITUTION. Paoll High School and Civil Rights. Faell Kewi. The township Trustee having failed to provide a separate sohool for the colored child ran of our town and vicinity, it has been threatened for some time past that they intended to assert their logs rights and send to our high school. It was thought to be all talk, dowever, until Monday morning, when a number of colored children presented themselves at the school-house and were admitted. As soon as the met became known it created considerable excite ment and much bad feeling among the patrons of the school, quite a n timber of whom at onoe took tbeir children from school. The colored children still continue their attendance, and the ill feeling engendered thereby is in nowise allayed, but, on the contrary, Is increasing. This action on the part of those who are re sponsible for it has emphatieally killed our boasted "Southern Indiana Normal School." Since the excitement became so high, and the prompt action on the part of so many of the patrons of the school in taking their children home, there is talk of liking the colored children oui ot the school, but the devilment is already done and such action on the part of those sanctified bull-doxers will not now repair the evil. The feeling is not confined to party or sect, and from present indications there will be a sep arate and select school started by those who don t believe in mixing. The "southern Indiana .Normal School" is, in all but the name, a thiu of the pest. "So mote it be." It ha been an expensive institution, but the "colored troops" conquered it at last, and ought not to be blamed for so doing. The blame belongs elsewhere, and the people know just where to place it; Jeffertonvilie News: Tt took three men, two boys and a bnndie dog an hour and a half to drive a sandy pig a distance of two blocks down to the ferryboat yesterday afternoon. When the drive was ended the dog was bit in three places, the boy had sprained his ankle, broken two windows by throw ing at the pig, one of the men was tired to death and the other two were drunk, and tho pig wau two miles back of tho river, going north, and sarcastically asking tho people it met if they could tell where the JoSorsonville ferry crossed the Ohio liver. In Canada, t-iuce 189, the nnmber of Catholic churehes has increased from 779 to 913, and of the clergy, from 763 to 1,171. In the same period the number of religious houses has increased from 73 to In. There are 3,139 schools, being one sohool for every 000 of the pooulatioH. In the United States there was only one Catholic academy lor girN in 1830. Now there are more than 400. Of tho M bishops in this country, 30 are of Irish birth.
