SINKING FUND DEBT PAID, ‘Upon what an amazing small amount of capital a radical paper can get up a, sensation in favor of its party.. The Indianapolis Journal devotes a column of fuss and figures to prove the great excellence of radical principles, and the superior financial ability of radical office holders, because it happens that an honest democrat comes forward 'and pays to the radical officer, who now happens to be Treasurer, an indebtedness to the State. Now the facts of the_case over' which all this parade of financial ability is made are these, and we respectfully submit to an intelligent public f the whole affair affords any just oc}a}ign for radical glorification. In this community, and in this section of the state where Mr. Ricketts is so well known, whose sterling integrity has never been impeached, the article of the Journal 'will pass for what it is worth—a miserable gratification of political hate, in defaming an honest man who became-temporarily embarrassed in his finances. But that it may be known abroad also, we present briefly the fagts of the case, which are well known and cannot be confuted. In ’64 W. H. él‘albdtt. President of the sinking fund commission, was solicited by a banking firm in New York, of which Dillard Ricketts, Esq., was a member to compliment the house by making a emall ‘deposit. But such confidence was manifested in the perfect safety of the banking house that deposits to the amount of one hundred and thirty thonsand dollars were made. Through gpeculations,- which it is ‘ understood Mr. Ricketts did not approve, this house became deeply involved, and almost the entire fortune of Mr. Ricketts, who ‘was one of the richest men in this section of the state,'was swept away.— Mr. Ricketts made such provisions for gecuring the state as he was then able to do. It now happens that by energy and industry Mr. ﬁicketts has emerged from his embarrassment, and at once comes forward and lignidates the entire claim, as’he always proposed to do. While the many friends of Mr. Ricketts sympsthizedy with his embarrassment, no one for a moment lost confidence in his integrity, and on the other hand were fully persuaded that he would recover from his embarrassment and fully indemnify the state in both principal and interest of this debt, and ‘the G’VMMW ‘that their c@'ﬁf dence was not misplaced. 2. 51 The effort on the part of the Journal to make political capital out of this transaction, insinuating aﬁ_dishpmw of purpose on the part of Mr. Ricketts, is meanly contemptible, and is a vile slander npon a man whose business energy and capacity has done vex;iy, megym this section of the state in ad‘vancing its railroad and other commercial interests. Mr. Ricketts should receive, as he merits, the thanks of this seetion of the stage, for his enterprise, i ‘tempt for the meanniess of its attack Ln\g’?{i’.”ﬁﬁ‘-‘-“-‘*‘m Abany Ledger.

JEDGE OSBORN, The task of making a public expoBition ‘or criticism of judicial acts is not a pleasant one, especially is the case where the party exposed is a citizen of one’s own place. Bat there are times when public justice and the de mands of law and right are 'inipeJ tive, and a journalist who disregards them is recreant to his duty, unworthy of his profession, and undeserving of the eonfidence and support of the people. : The recent conduct of Judge Osborn, while on the Bench, is so plainly reprehensible, so utterly at variance with common juatice, that to longer refrain from placin’g_lhe-\;facm, before the people is a sin which we have determined shall not be chargeable to ns.— This, together with tle fact that Andrew I, Osborn is asking the people of Indiana to elevate him to the high position of Supreme Judge, is our excuse fof stripping the mask of non-partisan-ship from him, and giving the general public an opportunity of viewing the man in aform scarcely less repulsive to the honest man than were the features of the Vailed Prophet. “For gome time a majority of the bar of this distriet have indulged in frequent and unfavorable comment on the stubborn and self-willed conduct of the presiding Judge. I is Falleged\ that the proper functions of the jury are usurped, and that a trial by this means assumes the appearance of a broad farce far more than a legal reality. These statements are publicly made, .and come alike from political friends and opponents. The people should know them, and consider them.

In the contested election case of ‘Speeth ¢s. Shannon the political sympathy of Judge Osborn wae plainly discernible. So ill concealed was it, ‘that’ even the defendant’s counsel hesitated to take advantage of an act so glaringly in opposition to former precedent. He even sought to pettifog the case, and wring- from the counsel dn admission that every person ingide the court room knew to be false. Failing in this, he voluntarily granted some Jfowr hoirrs time to the defendant for the purpose -of arranging and filing an affidavit for a continuance. It is needless to éay that the records of his court will not show another case wherein one-fourth of this time was ever granted for this purpose. It is contrary to, a long established and rigidly enforced rule of his court. - - B

- Again, in the contested case of Schumm ¢s. Kaber, which involved the political control of this city, his partisan bias, if possible, was still more strikingly apparent. It was known and admitted by all that the Democratic contestant was clearly entitled to the seat, or at best, that the vote was a tie and the people of the ward should be allowed to make another selection. When the matter was about to come before the court, the Judge was taken with a very sudden and singular ‘illness, which prevented his “hearing the case, but remarkable as.it may seem, did' not prevent him from spending the day on the streets and indulging in unusual hilarious conversation. In brief, this non-partisan. Judge, called a mnotoriously unserupulous partisan to the ber®h, and regardlesg of justice, law or common respect for the rights of the individual or the people, the case was decided in favor of the Republicans. That all this was done at the fall understanding and ‘corinivance of Judge Osborn, is believed by a large majority of thos‘e{ cognizant of the facts. : |

We admire a manly, out-spoken foe, but bave a strong repugnance for hypocris{. Hence, when Judge Osborn asks the people’s votes on, the plea of being an impartial jurist, we have felt it our duty to show him up his true light, and ask the people of the State to consider the charges which we make against him.—Laporte Argus.

“No Law for Coopin’ Niggers Now.’ Professor Nasgh, the great elephant bunter, trainer, and performer, is nevertheless, quick on a good one, and sees the point a 8 readily as he relishes the joke. He relates to the Indianapolis Sentinel the following as a fast : In George W’s -district, in Eastern. Indiana, at one of its principal cities, a large number of negroes gathered about the cage of a powerfal ehimpan: ese of the monkey persuasion. An old “Unele Abe’ lingered a long time, watching the Gorilla. . Finally the following ensued. . Uncle Abe not being able to maintain farther silence, said :

. “Look yer, 'mister, ain’t you’s one ob dem dar old tilmefolks? What yer doin’ in-dat are coop ? Dar's nolaw for eoopin’ miggérs now.

Git outo’ dat; andgo right along wid dis nigger, ‘and vote for Mr. Julia Anny’ - - ;

- The Professor overhearing quietly informed Uncle Abe that politics could not 'be ‘diseussed ‘in Van ‘Amburg’s Menagerie, remarking' that the (Abe) was not aspeaking to a negro, but a Chimparese. i “Does’nt know what you'ns call him,"” said 'Abe, *but he’s got rights, ef ‘e dow’t know lit,” and' qtietly walkeamny. oucine 00l R B EY Fashionable ladies ean’t : eat a particle of breakfast unless they have a red napkin, |« - i bt B ho

. ORGANIZATION OF THE GOVERN--3 MENT OF TPE lle'l‘ED STATES. ; .There would appear from the recg ords of Congregs, says the Cincinnati | Eaquirer, to have been little interest taken in the organization of the Gov-. . ernment of the United States by the *. people at that time. The 4th of March, | 1789, was the day appointed for it to |go into operation. There was as it is I well known, then in existence the thir- | teen States which had united in the | separation from Great Britain. Hadthey al' been represented on the day appointed, there would have been, counting two Senators from each State, twenty-six Senators. But, in fact, there ouly appeared from New Hampshire, two ; Massachusetts, one; Con- . necticut, two ; Pennsylvania two, and Georgia one; -eightin all. It will be ; seen that, although' the Congtess met m New York, the Senators from that State were not present. A week after, March 11, the senatorial roll was again called. Not an additional Senator appeared. It was then agreed that a | circular chould be sent to the absent Senators, soliciting their attendanée.— Time passed on until March 18, another week. But the Senate received no acceseion of members. All were tired out, and the organization of the Government seemed to be a failure. Even l after the majority of the States had agreed to it, they took no active steps 'to be represented in it. On the 19th of-March a Senator from New Jersey, William Patterson, in the immediate vicinity of New York, made his ap pearance, On the 21st William Bassett, of Delaware, presented his credentials. On the 28th of March, twen-ty-four days after the sth, when the Government was to go into effect, another New Jersey Senator, Jonathan Elmer, took his seat, and on the 6th of April Richard Henry Lee, appeared from the State of Virginia. ; Then for the first time the Senate organized by electing John Langdon, of New Hamp: shire, its President, for the sole purpose of counting the votes for President and Vice-President of the United States. There were then but twelve members present, a poor skeleton of ‘a body which now, when full numbers | seventy-eight. When the votes were counted for President and Vice-Presi- 1 dent it was ascertained that only ten | States had taken the trouble to vote. | New York did not appear on record.— Rhode Island ‘and North Carolina had 'not ratified the constitution, but kept l sturdily aloof from it. Gen. Washington received every vote—69 in all.— For Vice President, John Adams, of Massachnsetts, received 34 votes, and there were 35 votes cast against him | scattered among different candidates. i Under the constitution as it now stands | there would have been no choice, and i

the election would have devolved upon the Senate. But then a plurality, and not a majority, of all the ell)ectoral votes were required. James Madison, fourth President of. the Unuited States, was appointed by the House of Representatives to notify the Senate that the Hopse had agreed. that they should inform the President and Vice President of their election. The Senate appointed Charles Thompson and Sylvanns ‘Bourn a committee for that ‘purpose. The City Hall was tendered by the Mayor and Council of New York for the inauguration. ‘On the 13th of April three more Senators appeared and were qualified and took their seats. A month and nine days had now elapsed, and yet only 15 of the 26 Senators of the thirteen States were present. ‘On the 14th and 20th of April respectivey two additional Senators arrived. On the 21st of April the Vice President, John Adams arrived and took the oath of office, it being administered to him by the President pro-tem, Mr. Langdon, of New Hampshire. L ‘On the 30th of April; nearly two months from the day fixed upou, Gen. Washington came to New York and was inaugurated President of the United States. The oath was administered by Chancellor- Livingston, of that State. As soon as he had administerthe oath he exclaimed, after the fashion of royalty, “Long live George W ashington, President of the United States.”” One of the peculiarities of" the President’s addresses was this :— “] must decline, as inapplicable to myself, any share in the personal emoluments which may be indispensably included in a permanent provision for the 'Executive Department, and must accordingly pray that the pecuniary estimates for the station in wﬁichl am placed may, duting my continuaunce in it, be limited to such actual expenditures as the public good may be thought to require.” : The House of representatives was equally dilatory with the Senate in convening. On the fourth of March but thirteen, members from five States were present.” It was not until the Ist of April that the Houee had a quorum, and proceeded to elect 4 Speaker, It made choice of Mr. Muhlenberg, of Pentsylvania, -« i enis oo

In those early days all political power was vested in the State governments, and ‘little was thought of the newfangled and limited Federal Government. None perceived that in three quarters of a century it was destined to usurp the rights of the States and, become the great imperial Government. of a Continent. Had it been foreseen, ‘ such was the temper of our ancestors, the Federal Government would never ‘ have been formed at all. Among the distinguishéd members of the First Congress was Fisher Ames, of Mass. i Too young to have. taken an active Eart in the struggle of the Revolntion, e appeared upon the politieal scene | immediately ingter as one of its most brillidnt intellectual lights,” The speech which he made in -the House of Representatives in'' defense of the unpopular treaty negotosiated by John Jay with Great Britain, was: considered the finest ever. made in: Congress until the reply of Daniel Webster to. Mr. Hayne in 1830. It was the sx;eech 'which:..!ﬁurqd the ratification of the treaty. Mr. Ames died prematurely youn ,;ghd_‘jv'u another of the celébrated i rican statesmen who died on the 4th of July. @~ '

" ’ Cowrprx. - Not a*““Young Man’s Own' Book” that we know of’ eontains fufl directions for bebavior at church.

Inthe hope we may not be deemed prcsumpt uous, a few hintsare here thrown out. i

Do not stand outside before service to make trifling remarks on the people as they pass in. IX brings a blush to the cheeks of a modest girl to face a battery. of manly eyes. Then, too, 88 her back is turned, often comes the coarsefjest. Go at once to your seat, take the hymn book, angd employ the time in devdi\ut meditation until the minister comes. | |On finding you are late, pausa a mo‘ment at the door to ascertain what part of the serviceis going on, To rush in during prayer, as some thoughtless creatures do, is the next thingio sacrilege.— Let:it be a part of your religion not to disturb the religion of others.

What earthly ‘reason is there for two or three men, as sometimes happens, to walk out into the aisle, that the lady may have the seat next to the wall? At lectures and concerts ladies and gentlemen take scats promiscuously as they come. Why is the same plan impolite at church ¢ 3 Be_careful to observe the forms of the sect with which you are worshiping. If you are a rabid Puritan, and disposed “to laugh at the rising and kneeling of the Episcopal service, do not go to that church, and sit like a statute during all the genuflexions, as if silently protesting against such ritualism.

Poor Georgin. - Georgia still remains subject to military rule, her case postponed while Ben. Butler a‘tends to his private affairs in Lowell, Massachusetts. A -citizen, says the Harrisburg Patriot, is arrested at midnight and thrown into prison without a hearing, and General Terry, the satrap, orders his military subordinates to réfuse obedience to the writ of Habeas Corpus.— In the mean time there are no more. reports.at. Washington of Ku-Klux ontrages in Georgia. It is- not deemed necessary at this juncture to fire the loyal breast.— Forney | pockets his $l,BOO for opposing the Bingham amendment, in shape of pay for advertisements, and for the present all is calm. It is only when the demand for Georgia's admission te the Union becomeS urgent that the:tales of blood are produced to chill the hearts of all the traly loyal. . , ‘ The Great Popular Eduaeator. A contemporary well and truthfully.remarks that'at the present time the news‘paper is the most potent political and social agency in the civilized world. It is the great popular educator ; it determines international relations, and is recognized by the people of all lands as the champion and safeguard of liberty. The form of the newspaper' enables it to penetrate everywhere, reaching. minds remote from other intellectual influences. And the' modern newspaper is not solely occupied with political andtocial. questions. It aims at occupation: of the whole field of intellectual effort, and has contributed to every department of human knowledge. Science, art and literature are all indebted to the gorgon which devours them ‘only to reproduce them in new forms, by which their empire is immeasurably extended. i ik ' el P—— | .

~ SICK OF HIS OWN MEDICINE. ' There is some little wonderment in the vicinity of Columbus, N. J.: For a long “time there lived in: that vicinity a man whose namec it 1s Burng, and this' man - Burns had a wife, who was called Mrs. ?M:;ggie Bdrns. ” Now, Mag%ie'and her husband . weré both Republicans. For years they have cursed the Democrats ; denounced -Democrats as copperheads, eop: perheads- as traitors, and traitors. as too | q;:nn to live, and vice versa’ They Have ~claimed that the negro wasequal to if not - better than the white 'man. FEspecially . has brother Burns claimed this. " During -the years of his married - life, he has been . & very busy man—six children have clus- | tered about his hearth stone and he has | never missed an occasion to vote the Re- | publican ticket. L b ; But just pow a patch of shade has 'crosséd the sunshine of brother Burns’ | life. Not long sinee the last of his chil- % dren, the youngest thereof, was born unto { him and his wife. DBut, strange to say, { the little cuss is biack. At the age of six | months he has developed into a regular { 'young Ethiopiaun. . Burns is in a quanda- ' ry. For along time he thought that it | was the water, the climate, the medicine, | the political excitement, or something of { that sort, which. caused this discrepancy | between the last and the first born of the { Burns family. Then he laid it to his { wife's reading so many Republican news- ; papers and thinking so much of the inno- | cent cause of the war, now dignified by | the name of fifteenth amendments. - # At last he discovered that the cat in his

meal was an Ethiopian, five feet ten inches high, very black, but decidedly comely —at least in the eyes of his wife, And he contemplated inaugurating a shooting match, and making the body of the Ethiopian a reservoir for leaden lead bullets. But the coléred cuss has lit out with a carpet-bag, has gone hence, and Brother Burns swears that he will livé .no more with his family by a damned sight. So he has-taken a carpet:-bag and started South, swearing vengeance tipon each and every five fect ten inch negro he sees. - Early in life Bro.- Burns embraced the Republican party, and he should not ob-

ject to having a portion of that party embrace any reasonable opportunity:to embrace his consort. We hope he will do nothing rash. We trust he will not start:a new graveyard with the dusky complexioned marauder. It would be too bad to weaken the Republican partyeven one vote.

I glory in their stating their convictions; but, on the other hand, if there be any colored man who, by expe ‘Tience, by leading, by knowledge, honestly believes that it is unjust to the Catli~olic population of this country to impose upon them the reading of King James' version of the Bible to the exclusion of theirs, and was ‘therefore in favor of 1é: moying the “whole question of religion from our schools, let that man’s cohscience ‘command the respect which I accord to you,’and which you should accord to oth ers that differ from you. f - Teonfess I am of this description of men, and bad I been in Cincinnati 1 should have voted against enforcing the reading of the Bible in the schools of my country. % : The schools of this country were estab lished to, teach men -what can b¢ known.
