| THOMAS A. MENDRICKS. Ex-Senator Hendricks in Omaha, Ne- . braska—An Enthusiastie Reception . —Speech Upen the State of the CounFor several days past our people have been infqrmgi, 'l:hro'ngh 'ftml:‘)lf umns of the Herald, that ex-Senator Hendricks, of Indiana, contemplated making a trip over the ‘great international highway to'San’ Frauncisco, and that he intended to stop in his journey ' at Omadha, Salt Lake City, and Saeramento. Thig announcement was ‘sufficient to arouse the Democrats of ' this city to make preparations for the proper reception of so distinguished an exponent of their principles. To this end meetings were called, which - were unanimously attended, and live committees ‘were organized to make ~due and necessary arrangements. As the train stopped at the station, Mayor Willard and Dr. Gaff entered the car in which the party were, and wel-. comed them cordially. Senator Hendricks and party were immediately driven to tge §letro olitan ,Hotel,w where quarters had - Ee‘en' rovided for them. At dusk a crowd gegan to collect in front of the Metropolitan Hotel on Douglas street, at'wgich it had been advertised our distinguished vigitor would deliver a speech. = The hotel was very brilliantly ' illuminated, a row of Chinege lanterns being suspended beneath the cornice, and numerous lights of the same description hung over the balcony. Many of the stores and private dwellings in the vicinity were illuminated, the combined | effect being to render the vicinity in which the people had congregated almost as light as day. Rockets were projected from the roof of the hotel at /| intervals, and on the opposite side of | the street numerous other pyrotechnics were displayed. The balcony was tastefully wreathed in the national. colors. Mayor- Millard, the presiding officer of the occasion, in a very neat address, introduced Mr. Hendricks. - . A

SPEECH OF SENATOR HENDRICKS. ; I appear before you to-night, in respbnse to your very cordial welcome, very much embarrassed; but I trust Q.lat the emotions of the heart can always find utterance, and that, while I am not in a counditign to speak, go far a 8 my health is concerned, the feelings of my heart will enable me to make gome response to the welcome which your Mayor has extended to me, and which has been responded to by you. To-day, for the first time in my life, I stood upon the banks of the Missouri River. I did not feel,- however, that T was a stranger ; and as I stepped upon the boat, in a dark storm, and the winds dashed the waves in spray against the bunks, I fe‘it that the boat reésted upon a friendly river—that it rested upon a river of our common country ; and when I stepped from the boat upon Nebraska I felt that I was not altogether coming among strangers, and lieven flattered myself that 1 had friends among men whom I had never seen. [Applause.] As I'stood upon the bank of that river 1 felt that those floods were carrying great commerce to the same market that ours is by the sister stream of the Ohio from the State of Indiana; that when the waters of the Qhio and of the Northern Mississippi iand the Missouri should meet they are to carry the common commerce of this great section of.our country to a common market. . : -

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS OF PUBLIC DUTIES Have to some extent connected me with the interests of the men of Ne. braska.” For some years I was the Commiasionar of tha General ! Land Office, and in that position it became my duty to administer the land laws of the United States. I became impressed with the wisdom of the system which our fathers established. — As far back as 1784, our fathers in Congress enacted that the public surveys should be rectangular, with par-> allel lines, and divide the public domain into square parcels of land, and the great surveying laws of 1796 and of 1805 established that as the policy of the United States. So that the lines established by the United States surveyor became the line and boundary _{etween the settlers, and so that upon the lands of the United States’ there has been less litigation and controversy than, perhaps, in. the one State of Kentucky. Next to the gurveying system that was thus established was that which our forefathers established for v 7] ; I THE DISPUSAL OF OUR PUBLIU LANDS. That system was based upon the idea that the latter should have the preference in the -acquisition of the public lands, and, my countrymen, in the administration of the land laws of | the United States I belieye that all the while I was animated by the spir-: it of the laws themselves, and that whenever according to the law it could be done, I gave the preference to the settler—(applause)-wherever I could ; | I saw that tﬁe speculator did not get” the rich lands ‘of lowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, and Nebraska, but that they went to the ‘men who wished to take their wives and children upon the lands. [Applause llx: That policy, my countrymen, has mado Nebracka what it 1 nov—home for the people. ~And I look for- - ward to the ‘gay when, two. hundred miles west of us, the whole country will be beautified by farms np;ixi’fwhit:{ - shall be prosperous and happy people. There is one subject in connection with the public lands to. which, here. in Omaha, I feel it to be my duty to. refer. Some. {iemons ‘more recently: ‘have been in the habit of denouncing | %Wﬁﬁmwmg lands to aid the State in works of) 'lie‘” improvement, ﬁ" '“{M&:m””ﬁz i oAby thih *’ ha N m’*" i dertug of the pabil luads. - Bas i Sok 4 Se.pailin I, .bl il o hidh TAI b ke (Ve iS R R T T R

LIGONIER, IND., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, ILS69.

improvement, it is not an impolitic diapogaf ‘of the public lands. I know ‘that in some instances thgr:gve been grants made to States for railfoad pur--poses that were misapplied; I know that in some mz the grants that have been made have been perverted, but when the government B,E:llf make a grant to any of these great States oﬂ the Northwest to aid the construction of works of internal improvement, and the grant by the State be applied to proper purposes, I cannot see that it is subject to proper objeetion. This is not a new policy on the part of the government. Long, long ago; the government made a grant of one section out of each township to aid the ‘people of the new States : i

. IN PURPOSES OF EDUCATION, ‘and T am glad to6' know ‘that in more modern times the States have resign€d'two sections out of each township for educational purposes, and the State of Nebragka has given not only one-sixteenth, but one.thirty-sixth of a section for the purpores of commun _schools; and wK:n I see this great improvement to each of the States, as they severally come. in, I feel that it ‘was in the cause of educatino, in the cause of civilization, in the cause of the enlightenment of man, and in the cause of the establishment of our institutions upon the basis ‘of public in“telligence. FApplanse’.j My own State of Tndiana received from the general government grants of the pnblic lands to aid in the construction of her roa‘d_éf and her canals. To some extentthose grants were abused, but to-day the ~people of Indiana enjoy largely the benefits of those grants.. From time to time I have seen great enterprises undertaken "and carried through; by the fostering aid of the general govern- | ment, which the settlers themselves would neéver have been able to carry ‘through. Why is it that'the Govern-| ment of the United States, owning ‘such ‘a domain, shall not aid the settlers in their works of internal improvement? Ido not speak of the policy| which shall take the money out of the treasury for purposes of that kind.— That rests upon altogether a different consideratton. I speak of the duty of the government to aid the people in the new sections of the country in making these efforts, which will bring a‘market to the door of the farmer.— I know very well that the government, receives a compensation for the grants that she makes in the enhanced price received for the section ; but I do not care, so much for that. The great benefit that the government derives when she aids in the construction of a | highway or of a railroad - through the: public land is in the disposal of the’ remaining lands, and in the buildin%,, up of farms all over that section of country,” and in the general contribution to theresources of:the national treasury. - : ¢ <

IMPORTANT . CONRIDERATIONS. | Gentlemen, the policy of the government in regard to the public lands has peopled that wonderful State of lowa. I was filled with amazement and admiration as I passed over it.— Itis an empire whose resources are suffi¢ient to sustain millions upon millions of people, and that same policy is to make Nebraska a great State— But the question arises, when all these public’ lands to the west of you shall be occupied—shall be ploughed, shall be reaped, by a hardy, industrious yeomanry — what policy of government is to be maintained for the per manent prosperity and happiness of these people? Allow the people to have their farms on easy terms, there comes in the obligation to provide for them such laws as will promote their prosperity and their happiness, and the question . arises in your mind toniglit, what ought to be done in respect to she great question of government by you and by me-f Isay to you it is my duty, as’it is your duty, to favor that policy of government which will secure the greatest stability to our institutions, and the greatest happiness aud prosperity 'to the people. ' [Applause.| ~ Substantially in the discussions of the times ‘there are

JUST TWO QUESTIONS, : and these questions are of great importance to you men of Nebraska.+— The only question is shall we stand by the policy that was established by our fathers in 1787 and 1789--that policy which distributes the powers of the government between the Federal and State governments, or whether we ghall ,adopt this modern doctrine of centralization. This, men of Nebraska, is a question of vital importan;cie .to you. For one, lam willing to let well enough "alone.” The government that our fathers made, that rests upon the doctrine, if I may express it, of popular sovereignty, in regard to domestic questions. That doctrine is the doctrine to make our institutions permanent. In it lies the seeurity, liberty, prosperity; and happiness of the people. [Applause.]— Our government rests upon the idea that all questions and subjects between the peofyle of the United States and the people and powers of other countries shall be regulated and controlled by the government of the United States ; but that all questions and all subjects that are naturally domestic and local in their character shall be regulated and econtrolled by the people ‘of the several States. Itis pfr‘ogbsed in these latter. d«s{.‘sﬁ to surrender up the control of those questions that our fathers left with the. people of the States, and to swallow them up in & centralized or general government. I say to you, men of %ebmkg,é’? that &g 18 a question of moro importance to, you than ‘to the men of Indiana. = Before you | mchl‘ﬂbf“k&&f‘i@h"é fo. pass over Illinoie and lowa in going from. Tudian oo s o Ssin e PPRNUAG B S iof thein: o ‘er than Indis MW ecause you are ‘Dowsr voli ave fßitha simavad tsom Sea constol BE fomegmaen Yoo we. ‘and. parade of the: great. centralized: eR PR T S ReSR A Fmponeds Au Sy will seat agion Bour

why not stand by _t.hgv:'goch-iinevd&' our, fathers? If Nebraska has a question that is local to Nebraska, why should the men of Indiana assume to settle it? Why not leave if to the men of Nebraska if it interests you and you alone? Why not allow you to regulate it in and according to your own pleasure! As 'a man of Indiana, I would claim the right to control, as one of the eiti‘zens of that State such a question within the limits of that State. Bat, fellow-citizens, it is so much better to leave to each locality to decide .all local questions, and to have the general government to-regnlate those questions that proper‘ﬁﬁ and legiti.mately belong to it. How much are we to gain when the star of your State is made to wane upon the national banner ? 'When this State has no longer the power to settle her own domestic affairs, but when all the heat and light :and glorﬁ of this Union is lost in one centralizel guvermmenty now much happier will you be, do you believe? Sl

| .~ OPPOSITE. COMPARISONS, | A, gentlemen, in France, that land ‘of beauty, of plenty, of prosperity—the land where the valleys are green with the growing harvest and the hillsides rich with the clustering vine—- | in France, where men ought all to be happy and prosperous—France is but Paris ! 'The provinceg are not known. The men out in the provinces have no influence. Their power is not yet felt. Paris is France, and when you establish the doctrine of a centralized power, then “Nebraska is not known,” and ‘the men of Nebraska are not known, but Washington will be the United States. (Applause, and cries of “that’s go.”) -Asit was in the days of ancient Rome, when civilized Rome ~had grown over all the lands where Gaul was governed, but she had no power. The provinces upon the Danube were governed, but they had no _power. Judea, the land of the Jews, ' was governed, but they had no power, They were the provinces, and the battering rams of Titus as they shook the walls of Jerusalem express- | -ed this'idea. 'lihe law of Rome is the law of Gaul. To bow to the will of Rome is the patriotism and loyalty of the Jews. So it will come to us.— When it shall” be that Washington { shall become the Rome, then Nebras- ‘ ka and Indiana will become the Gaul and the provinces upon the Da.imbel( and the Judea, to obey the central law, and to have no government for themselves. This is not what we ‘want, gentlemen. S l

WE WANT A STRONG GOVERNMENT. We want a strong government—a government strong enough to maintain the power of.the people of the United States against all the powers of the world, but at the same time we want free and independent States fo regulate the domestic rights and institutions of the people. (A voice, “That’s the talk.”) That is the kind of government .that has given us so mauch prosperity for so many years/— He who asks'a new form of government enters upon an unexplored field, bat a field that.has been occupied by deepots from the earliest to the present time. = = 5

NO FANCY GOVERNMENT NEEDED,, Gentlemen, the question is, will we stand by the doctrines of the fathers who distributed the powers of government? 1t does not bring so splendid a government. Ido not care for the parade, the show and display of government. Ido not care for this sort of parade, which in Europe makes the people fear and tremble in the presence of power. I prefer that sort of government that carries safety, security, prosperity, and happiness to ‘the home and hearthstone of every freeman in the country. (Applause.)— My eountrymen, I (i) not propose tonight to address you at any length in reference to the questions which have been settled in the past. The men in the past who have done wrong must answer to their countrymen and to history for what they have done—.; what good they have accomplished, and what evil they have brought upon their country. How far'they have impaired her institutions, they must apswer in their country and to history. I wish you to give your attention to . : | ; LIVING QUESTIONS. = ! ~ To the present and to the fauture.— And let the influence of Nebraska, this new and energetic State, be felt upon the side of liberty, safety, and constitutional protection to every man. (Applause.) Ve have, lu aadition to this, some , questions of an interesting character, but they do not affect the torm and framework of the govern. ment. The question to which I have referred is the most important, as I think, that can suggest itself to the’ mind of an American citizen. But we' have some questions of finance that have to be decided. I will not under-' te}ke the discussion of this question 0 B DR R e S

FINANCE . ; ‘ To-night. - I will say just this: It is the great business of government to protect capital and to Erotect and encourage labor. And when the government gives its influence,. its power, its protecting hand to assist capital and injure labor, it is the business of the people to look to it and to change the powers that be. (Applause)—- | To—dag, this week and the past week, ! ‘there have been paid from $2,000,000" to $4,000,000 out of the national treasury upon the five-twenty bonds, and theué“ionds‘are"inp; being paid accord--ing to. their face, but they are being paid a¢sording to their value with the bondholdm;,tgemaglvea, These bonds to-day are bei'ng paid at above their their face.

THE NEXT GREAY NATIONAL ELECTION Will come off in 1872, My opinion is that by that time the people of the United States will have made up their minds fhaf tzere musé be a change—that it ‘cannot be worse—and thaf it will be ibetfer fo have a change. - A man can’l make *much of a mistake in making that guess. We niay be disappointed, but we think thaf when the Democratg and Conservalives come info power they will respect the will of the peopli.e. Last year you were told that there was to bé no legislation specially and peculiarly in fa;LvorA of any | particular’ class. After the ‘election | had passed away, and there was q’p longer any responsibility to the ‘people, the laws were 8o changed as to make a large part of the indebtedness of the country, which was before payable in the currency of the coumtry, only payable in gold. That was not for your benefit. {lt was not for the benefit of the man wh; ploughs the land of the West. That was not ‘to encourage the building of farm houses or tEe" building of school houses and churches in your Jconnery.

HOW MONKEYS ARE CAPTURED.

Monkeys are pretty common, yet as all the family are remarkably cunning, hag it" ever occurred to t{e reader how they are taken? Pitfalls will take a lion, and the famished monarch of the torest will, after a few days of starvation, dart into a cage containing food, and thus be secured. But how are monkeys caught?. The ape family resembles man. Their vices are human. They love liguor, and fall. Inßarfour and Sennaar the natives make fermented beer, of which the monkeys are passionately fond.— Aware of this, the natives go to the parts of the forest frequented by the monkeys, and set on the ground calabashes full of the enticing liquor.. As soon as a monkey sees and tastes it, he utters loud cries of joy that attracts his comrades. Then an orgie begins, and in a short time the beasts show all signs of intoxication. . Then the negroes appear. The few who come too late to get fuddled, escape. = The drinkers are tco far gone to distrust them, but apparently take them for larger specimens of their own genus. The negroes take some up and these immediately begin to weep and cover them with maudlin kisses. ‘When a negro takes one by the hand to lead him off, the nearest monkey will cling to the one who thus finds a support and endeavor to go off.aleo. - Another will grasp at him, and so. on till the negro leads a staggering line of ten or a dozen tipsy monkeys. When finally they are brought to the village, t{ey are securely caged, and gradually sober down, but for ‘two or three days a graddally diminishing supply of liquor is given them, so as to reconcile 2bem by degrees to their 'state of CADRVIEY, (eain no v ahaade g

A NEW sr:mn"noﬁ. — 5 The Erfe Railway to be Brilfiantly {llluminated —A Plan to Effectually [Prevent léilroad ‘Aecidents at Night. | From the New York Wor@, Aug. 1. The last sensation made by’ the enterprising Mr. James Fisgk, Jr., t!?)mptroller of the Erie railway, is the undertaking of a plan by which it is proposed to make the line of the Erie railway, frotn the foot of Chambers street and twenty-third | street. to Buffalo and Dunkirk, an unbroken belt of light all through the dark ‘nights, both in summer and winter.. The Bergen tunnel is to be so brilliantly illuminated day and night that dpon a lowering day the eyes of the | pasSenger will be almost blinded as the trafh emerges from the mouth of the tunneli owing to ‘the difference between the bright light of the tunnel and the dull raysif the sun. The means to be adopted to catry out this great plap, and thus precluding the possibility of any further accidents on the- - on account of darkness, is in the application of the eleetric light to every locomotive on the line, and stationary lights at the ferries, in the tunnél, and at dangerous - curves along the route. : The attention of the Erie company was first called to eonsider this scggme; by Mr. E. C. Morse, and Mr. Fisk at once authorized him to go to work and see 4vhat could be done.. Mr. Morse thereupon commenced tomake arrangements for the manufacture of a large number of the electric lamps at Jersey City, and he is quite confident that within three months he will have Erie all ablaze. . . - v . Mr. Morse claims to have made several valuable discoveries and improvements in connection with the electric light. One invention claimed by him is a self:sustaining battery, and another is a device for making the carbon points, used to give - the electrie light, burn for months without wasting -away. - This electric light it is said by those who have experimented with it, will cast & ‘shadow dehind an opaque body at a distance of tert miles. - But when jarred by the motion of fhe lo- - comotive, the intensity of the lightiis diminisheg.» The light will illumina#e the ° track for three miles ahead, howevér, so that, where the road is straight, the gngineer can discern any object at thaf distance. By another ingenious devicey the electricity used to run the lamps wiﬁ' be collected by. the friction of the wheels as the trains are in motion. Two lights will be wused for lighting Bergen tunnel, with one in the middle, as the tunnel is not straight,” but curves. Other lamps will then be stationed at each end of the . Pavonia ferry, whi%% will throw a broad belt of light across the North river every ‘night, to guide the traveler'safely to his home -in the metropolis. These lights will, it is said, be so intense that on the darkest, fp§gy night there'will be.no danger of collision on the water, any more than in the daytime. Still more, it is progoa‘ed to fill Twenty-third stréet every night with a flood of white light, from ; ‘the North river to the fifth Avenue hotel, 8o that travelers at the heart of the metropolis may at all time _ﬁéfmm,ind@ﬂ‘*i)f‘? e broad and happy way. ) 7
