‘Resistance to !‘nnu is Obedience to God’ e ———— = . J.B.STOLL, EDITOR. WEDNESDAY, SEP’T, 1, 1869, e — A VOICE FROM 'I‘IKE ‘OUTH-WEST.' It cannot be otherwise than gratifying to the many admirers of Indiana's favorite statesman, that his proposed nomination for the Presidency ofthe United States is greeted with-unbounded delight o . - iSNS e e w 2 R ::ountry. His great Omaha speech has been extensively published, and its perusal scems to have had the effect of creat: ing a conviction in the minds of thoughtful men generally that its distingnished puthox: is above all others ¢thz man to lead the democratic and_conservative element ‘to victory in 1872 As an evidence of how rapidly public opinion is drifting in th}s direction, we quote the following extract from a lengthy editorial in the Missouri Domoorac;/, a staunch democratic paper, published #i Cape Girardeau, Mo., and" heretofore strongly devoted to the political fortunes of Mr. Pendleton. After speaking of the ciuses that led to defeat last year, the Democracy says: Another thing develoged by the National Convention was the fact that Senator Hendricks, of Indiana, had imperceptibly attained a lofty and watrm corner in the great Democratic heart.- We say impereeptibly, for Mr. Hendricks has never J)usb'ed himself forward, has never obtruded himself before the public vision, Modest as a lady, yet bold as a lion, while lie would scorn to thrust himself into no‘toriety, yet he will when occasion demands, speak his sentiments fearlessly .and unreservedly, as an honest and true man should. His.is not a fawning nature which can’crook the pregnant hingges of the knee that thrift may follow fawning. "True as steel to the convictions of his heart and conscience, Thomas A. Hendricks would not exhibit himsekf falsely on a single issue, however trivial and unimportant, between the two parties, to attain Presidential honors. His honor has never ‘been assailed and is unassailable, None of the {wesent race of American statesmen excel or even equal him in the graces of oratory or profundity of statesmanshifp. He is, take him all in gll, one of the few Democratic statesmen left to us as types of the glorious galaxy now—to the great and irreparable loss of the country—llost to us forever.— He lis one we_delight to honor); whose lightest statement carries with it the weight of grave authority; and whose presence at the head of government would redeem us from the shameful reproaches that lie against us at home and abroad.— As. at present advised—as matters now stand—we certainly favor Mr. Hendricks for the next Presidential nomination.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION, - The democratic press of Indiana is at present engaged in discussing the propriety of holding the next democratic state convention on the Bth of January.— There scems; to be quite a diversity of opinion on ;the subjéct—some claiming that the Bth of Januaryis entirely too carly a day, whilst others'contend that it ‘would bea bad move to abandon the “time-Honored day” for making our nominations.” As the State Céntral Committee will ere long be convened to deter~mine this matter, we presume the argn “ments, pro and con, will receive due consideration, and a satisfactory conclusion atrived at, i - Candidates for the different positions are being brought forward, and the In_dianapolis Mirror is authority for the statement that the following names arc on the political slate : Chairman of State Central Committee-~Richard J. Bright, proprietor of the Sentinel ; Secretary of the Central Committee—-J. J. Bingham, editor-in-chiof of the Sentinel y Treasurer’ of State—James B. Ryan, of Indianapolis, and Levi Sparks, of Jeffersongille; Auditor of State — Hon. Mr.. Turner, _State. Senator; from the counties of Daviessand Knoi; J udgﬂ Supreme Court— Judge 8. E. Perkins, of Indianapolis, Judge Downey, of Rising Sun, Judge Reid, of Connersville, Judge Hanna, of . Sullivan county, Judge Parett, of Evansville, and N. B. Taylor, of Indianapolis. i Dent’s Letter. - " Tae Dent letter, which we publish in anothet column of to day’s paper, gives an infinite deal of trouble to the radical press. The editor of the Chicago Republican don’t believe that Dent wrote it, ‘and professes to have found the real author in one page—Dent’s law partner.— Its existence rather than its paternity is ‘what troubles the radical leaders. It shows that their sins are beginning to find them olit, and that a’day of political » ju&menlg is rapidly coming wupon them.. It is but the precursor of the general expose of official corruption that is soon to be made. The leaders, of course, wanted to stave it off until after the election, but we fancy they will find it impossible.— " The flood is -inevitable—let the rddical sinners begin to prepare their arks,

5 » Colony, ’ The National Land Company of St Louls completed a sale, last week, for the. “Kansas. Pacific Railway Company, of thirty two thousard acres of land, to the representatives- of an English colony of ' twelve hundred families, The lands are mostly rolling prairie, and in one body, lying from four to twenty miles from the line of the railroad, northwest of Junction City. The average price paid for these lands ‘was about three dollars per ' acre. Eighteen members of the colony have already arrived, and haye commenced the improvement of the lands.— The colony is ¢éomposed of a ‘good class of emigrants, and each 'member is represented to have sufficient funds to stock his farm.

| . ProvioexcE; R. I, Aug. 21.—President Grant was received bi the munici- | pal authorities at the State House this p. M. A Abrilliant‘reee?ﬂon was held in hi‘f honor at the villa of ex-Senator Morgan.' The gunboat Tallapooss, with an offi- | cial party, arrived here last evening. We copy the above, says the St. Louis | Bepublican, not because. we imagine that - the movements of President Grant are of any special interest to/the mass of our. | rcaders, but for the sake of thé conclud- | ing lines which announce that “the gun- | boat ‘Tallapopsa,’ with an’ official party, | arrived here [Providence] last evening. | Unenlightened persons have heretofore labored under the declusion that 5 e : : ilt for Un.l.t?d .s,fitf’fﬂ“‘,’i?,fu%'&f Jffé"’n'é?g{nen 1t has never been understood that.these |-vessels were constructed, set afloat, and ‘kept in' commission at a vast expense in ‘order to furnish a few gentlemen whoshap- | pen to occtpy positions under Government, ’rwi"thb the means of taking a pleasure excarsion to sea-board watering places for nothing. Queen Victotia and the Emperor Napolcon cach have their private yachts.which they use when and fas they please, but these yachts were paid for out of their own private pockats, and not out of the public treasury— Our dignitaries bave improved on the usages of royalty. Whenever the health of the President or of the President's family, or the health of members of 'his Cabinct, -or their fawillles seems to require an ocean voyage, a Government ship is taken, and the “official party,” with trunks, band-boxes and bundles, go apoard,and are steamed hither and thither at the expense of an impoverished and ‘tax-ridden pepple. No previous administration that we are aware of, has ever sanctioned such a piece of unblushing im- | pudence, . Neither James Buchanan nor Andrew. Johnson was ever guilty of pro‘ceeding like this, and yet, according to the Radical acceptation of the word, neither Mr.- Buchanan ‘nor Mr. johnson -was half so “loyal” as the present incum“bent. We do not know, and we do not want to know who composed the “official party” which arrived at Providence in the gunboat “Tallapoosa,” but we do know that the “Tallapoosa” was ordered home | from the Cuban station, where she was sorely needed, for no« other reason that has yet transpired than to carry the President and his advigers, with their respective households and invited guests on trips where they might and should have gone by the usual ‘conveyanceés. President Grant and his Cabinet have no more .right to employ a Government vessel in such business as this than they have to | take the public money to pay their hotel | ' bills ; and argument that will justify the one will justify the other also. As we were promised that the reign of the Radical party during the four fcars to come, was to be a model of purity, we would mildly suggest a reform in this respect, and it cannot begin too soon.

= Boutwell’s Economy. . - The Indianapolis Mirror, an independent paper, says Mr. Boutwell, the Secretary of the Treasury, may bea great financier and a very cconomieal officer, but he bas a queer way of showing it.. Last week we alluded to his sale’|of the presses in the Treasury building, for printing the fractional currency, and letting the printing of it ouf on contract. We have now. further details of his- bungling action in the matter. The hydrostatic, or dry printing machinery, adopted by Mr. McCulloch, cost the Government over $200,000. Seventy of the presses cost the Government $l,lOO each. These presses Mr. Bouttvell sold for $25 a ton—only.a little over the price of old iron. A paper machine, costing $35,000, was disposed of for $lO,OOO. Bank note_ paper made by this machine cost the Goveinment $3 per thousand sheets. Under the contract made by Mr. Boutwell since selling the machitie, inferior- paper costs the Government $12.50 per thousand sheets.

Again 120,000 pounds of wrapping paper, not used on account of its size, for which Mr. McCulloch wag offered and refused ten cents a. pound, was sold by Mr. Boutwell at three cents a pound. How is all this for economy ?. : And now, after selling the Government presses at a great sagrifice; .Mr. Boutwell finds himself in the ‘power and at,the mercy of the plate-printers, who quietly fold their arms and say to him, “unless_ you increase our salary you shan’t have a single fractional - currency.” Boutwell is mad, but the plate printers are ipexorable.. They are masters of the situation. ki Despotic Order by His Radical MaJesty of the Misgissippi Kingdom. - A despatch from: Jackson, Miss,, states that Gen. Ames has issued the following order to the commanders of military posts in Mississippi: “The Commanding General directs that you do not obey in future any writ of habeas corpus issued by l the United States Court and Circuit Court or any made by such Court for the releage of . prisoners in your custody.— Should such:writ or order be served upon you, report the fact by telegraph.”” ° Ames, who commands the military in Mississippi, has taken it upon himselfto remove from office Judge Jefferds, of the ‘Bupreme Court, the Secretary of state, and a large number of minor officers, all of whom are prominent in the Conservative wovement in Mississippi. It does not ap pear that there is any other charge sigainst ‘those officials than that their political ~course does not suit the Grand Cyelops, ‘who thus thrusts them from their places ‘at the point of the bayonet. There isnot another country pretending to civilization on the globe, where ‘the entire system of goveérnment of a great State or Province is managed by o single subordinate mﬂiﬁal_'y_ . officer, in time of peace.— No more outrageous tyranny than that of this uniformed roffian, Ames, over existed inPoland under Russiani rale, ~ © ya q& '-'f"'l,""h:‘ ek o 1) Senator Yates, of IlL.; Charles Sumner, of Massachusetts | Toseph Modill, of the el SR TR S e T i L e s e et s, G, Fors, of Aiam, Te o e o i e el bel o e %m@y s"“‘7’“*%"“ ﬂ"”ﬁv\ﬁg‘%"gm4 “’,& 4 A @W*‘*“‘ﬁfaé‘i*&eﬂ*f”»fﬁz f:‘ . o L

HoanLEi AccipENT.—Last * Friday, as we are informed by a gentleman from . Jacksonburg, aterrible accident occurred near that village, by which a beantiful young woman was instantly killed. Our informant says that Miss:Hipes, aged about seventeen, came into the village to do some shopping, and just as she started to return home, her horse took fright and ran off. After running about a quarter of a mile, in coming to an abrupt turn in the road, the buggy was run against a_ a rail fence, and Miss Hipes thrown out, alighting on her head, ‘and breaking her neck, causing instant death.—Richmond. Humming Bird. 1) et e —— | . An Outrage Avenged. | A most horrible outrage was recently committed omn Miss Alice Thompson, at Front Royal, Va., by two negroes, who dragged her to a woods, and after choking and knocking her senseless; satisfied their hellish lost. The Warren' (Va.) Sentinel furnishes the following : “The narration of this incident occa: sioned the most intense excitement in the minds of all who heard it, and threats of lynching the criminals were so current in the neighborhood that the jail for several days and nights, was guarded by a strong:force of armed men. On Thursday this guard was removed, and at night those they had protected probably met an awful fate. At two o'clock A. M., & body of disguised men surrounded the jail, one of whom knocked at the door, which being opened, the jailor had a Colt’s pistol presented at his head, and a demand made for the: keys of the cell in which the prisoners were confined.— The demand could not under the circumstances, be resisted, and the key was delivered. The jailor was then locked np in his own room, and knows nothing more of what transpired. Nor ‘can any more facts be elicited, except that the cell in which the prisoners were locked up was empty on Saturday morning, and! that the mail boy from Luray passed. about daylight on Friday morning, on: the road to Front Royal, a number of strange looking men.” i i The following is taken from the Alexandria Gazette of Saturday evening:

The dead bodies of the two colored men, Charles Brown and. Jacob -Berryman, a full account of whose outrage upon a young lady of Warren -county, and whose subsequent abduction from the jail in Front'Royal has been published in the GAzZETTE, were found suspended from one limb of & ¢herry-tree, about a mile from Front Royal, on the road leading to Luray.” e i ; ‘———"——~*—'.'-—T Stillat Xf. : The New York Sun. continues to pour out its wrath against Grant.

| LETTER OF JUDGE DENT RESeathing Rebuke to a Noddlesome Polltician, Bo_:, George w.'&crdury of the Treas- . SIR—I shall make little apology for uk‘inf your ut,ten‘tzn to my letter, and less for the nature of its contents. You were the first to deny the political orthodoxy of my friends and myself, and by all the rules of the forum lam entitled to a defense. Again, you hold an office of the Republic, and your - acts, therefore, are legitimate subject of criticism by the humblest citizens therof. But in some respects we are alike, for instance, we are both aspirants for place, with this difference —you aim to be the next President, with the assurance of success except |in the opinion of the people, while I seek an humbler Flace, witg my hopes in disastrous eclipse, except in the judgment of Mississippi. go, in the pwbable results of the fature, we both stand adverse 'to the judgment of the countr{.' : Sa In the pursuit of your ambition you are unscrupulous’ as to the means of Your success. Your organ, the New York Sun in the same breath ridicules the capacity of your master, and dwells - with emphasis on your peculiar fitness for his office. :

Your excellent tool, Mr, Tullock, became 80 reckless in the manipulation of your department in the interest of your ambition, and so defiant of the wishesof the Presidentand the country, that to save fouraalf from an ex})103!0!1 of popular indignation you ound convenient to transfer him to another ‘sphere of scandalous activity, where his talents might be exerted with equal effect, aud less effrontery. Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi and Texas, not to mention anything so humble as myself, were obstructions in the way of your success, because through Grant’s intervention in excluding the proseriptive claases. from their organic laws, these States are brought into the Union firmly welded to his support. Now this is in direct conflict with your systematized plans, for what General Grant gets in the next election, clearly Mr. Boutwell will not get, and therefore you have denounced the Conservative Republicans who are for Grant, that you may obtain the proscriptive Republicans, who are for Boutwell, and by some strange dexterous management, and occult political strategy, you have.so worked upon the confidence of the President as to cause him to flourish the club with which you intend to break his head, by inducing him to join in denunciation of the Conservative Republicans, a party created by his management. Baut, sir, your purpose is easily discerned, and has a twofold object, namely, to destroy the National Republican party in the South, and then to reconstruct from its scattered fragments a Boutwell party, with no Richmond in the field to strike for your crown. But if you can not succeed in this scheme of desperate enterprise, you mean to ruin—a result from present appearances, much more likely to be reached. Your official intervention for Wells, for instance, gave 30,000 majority to Walker. Your letter to Stokes gave Senter to Tennessee by an overwhelming vote of 70,000. Your maryelous political sagacity, now active in Mississippi and Texas, will repeat your calamity, and again overwhelm you with discomfiture and defeat. ' Superadd to those results of your unapproachable folly the imposition on these States of your iron-clad oath, and the alienation is complete, landing them all in the outstretched arms of Democracy. But the consequence of your folly does not end here. Ohio and Pennsylvania, and others will follow, decide their political status in October and ‘ the north will echo back the condemnation_of the South, and peal in your ears this fact—that there is still left enough of the “incorruptible virtue of the Republic to rebuke you for a wanton repression of that most sacred right, the elective franchise. o

, Bat, sir, this will not deter you from your mad course. You will still persist until every prop that supports our party is stricken away, and the whole grand superstructure tumbles abogt our ears in hopeless ruin.. When you were appointed Secretary ofthe Treasury and unanimously confirmed by a Senate of every shade of political opinion, did you not take an oath to administer your office impartially, and for the exclusive objects of /its creation—to collect the revenue and control the finance of the country ? Is not. that office the property of the natien, and yourself only clothed for a time with a little brief authority.— Then, sir, how do you explain this ferversion of its legitimate uses and functions into a means or instrument of oppression, and compel the election of obnoxious rulers upon the people of the South. Is such a course consistént with your oath of office, or do you call this a great moral idea? But Mr. Boutwell, though you have thus pros-. tituted the pawers of your office for the purpose of oppression, without the warrant of conscience or law, it may be that you can tell me by what authority you presume to pronounce upon my political orthodo’xm ‘Who constituted you the infallible hopes of Republicanism? Whogave you authority to hurl the political anathemas of the party ? Again, what right had you -to commit the’ Administration to youyr policy? Have you to learn yet that you'areonly a part of the Administration, and not the whole of it, though your friends J)elieve that a monomania has seized your mind on that subject, and that you ver{}y' believe yourself the State. ery respectfully, L " | LEWIS DENT.

‘Our noble German mother tongue is constantly receiving more honor in the United States. The time is past when the German-American, scarcely landed, was ashamed of his own language, and by broken English sogbt. to conceal his German origin. The emigration of the last twenty years has wrought a remarkable change in this respect in American as well as in German cirgles. The German lauguage, resolutely maintaining the victories alreadi won, advances to renewed triumphs. The political influence of the Germans in the West at first broke the ice and overcame the difficulties which American ignorance, American preju--dice, and indifference among the Germans themselyes threw about the cultivation of the German language, If we are not mistaken, Cincinnati was the first Western city which made German an object of public instruction, and which' brought our language frum the seclusion of sectarian schools to the publicity of the common schools ; #t. Lonis and Chicago followed. But the Germans of Indiana achieved the first great triumph in the Legislature of that state by the passage ofalaw providing for the introduction of instruction in German, under certain conditions into all the free schools. The Germans of the State of New York were finally aroused, by the trinmph of the Germaas in the West, from their Rip Van Winkle sleep, and began an agitation. There is no better criterion forthe smaller political influence of Germans inthe East than in the West, than the difficulties which the agitation encounters. in New York city—a city with a German population of at least 200,000. Although the majority of the Germans there belong to‘the Democratic party,thé entire German Democratic press of that city declare the demands of the Germans without foundation and unitedly oppose the movement. $ :

The condition of affairs is much better in Pennsylvania, where, a few years ago, had the majority of the Germans of that State so declared, the German language might easily have ‘been made | the official language of the State and of the courts. The present generation is endeavoring. to regain those "opp rtunities, and at the head of the agxrzxtion for the introduction of Grerman into the public schools, stands the union of the Glc,erman presa of Pennsylvania. This union is managing the cause with a system and an energy which may even serve ag-a model for the Germans of the West. The Germans have one advantage in that they are able to refer to the historical fact that at one time the Geerman language was more generally spoken' in certain districts of Pennsylvania than the English. . The chief objective point of the union is the State Legislature. . A law was passed At the last session by the Lower House, providing for instruction ‘in German in the public schools, under certain limitations, which unfortunately was not reached by the Senate.— The coming winter the agitation is to recommence with renewed energy, and the sphere of the endeavors is extended in that they seek a law which' shall require that German be introduced in the Normal schools, and that no teacher receive a State certificate 'if incompetent to instruct in the German language. It is further sought to authorize_an annual sending of a certain number of graduates of American universities to study the German system of insfruction, in order to be competent on their return to educate teachers. The people take a lively interest in this matter in their -local schools, and schools which have formerly been conducted in English now use the Ger- ! man as the medium of teaching. The ‘Pennsylvania-Duteh’ dialeet i¢ at the same time receiving more attention, and the necessity of purifying the common language |is becoming more apparent. . A sahs B O s

Some weeks since a Convention of Temperance men in Ohio, put in nomination a state ticket simply on the temperance platform.

’ Dyspepsia and Rheumatism. ; CHESANING, Baginaw Co., Mich., s : July 3d 1858. Dr. C. W. Roback—Dear Sir: My father, now about sixty-four years of age, has been, for the last five years, severely afflicted with Dyspepsia and Rheumatism, attended with nervous derangement ; in“deed to such an extent as to defy Medical skill of the best Physicians. And I can truly say, that I believe it was reseryed for your Scandinavian Remedies to “perform what all other remedies had failed to do—to work a radical cure.

‘A special dispatch from Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania, dated midnight Saturday night, states that late in the afternoon a fire broke out in the Pine Ridge colliery, two and a half miles above that place.— ‘The fire caught at the “entrance of the mine, and burned with fearful rapidity. The wildest excitement prevailed, as thirty men were at the bottom. of the mine, when the fire. originated from fire-damp. About a year and a half ago this mine took fire and burned furiously for several weeks, but was finally extinguished by beicg smothered out. The superintendent of the mine reached Wilkesbarre at 11 p.

IT seems to be the understanding now that if the test oath is exacted of the Virginia legislature, such members as cannot take it will resign, and thus require a new election to fill the vacancics.
