‘Resistance to Tyrauts Is Obedience to God. . J.B.BTOLL, EDITOR. WEDNESDAY, FEB'Y 22, 1871, Frank Biair after Morton. . "The gallant Frank Blair fully meets the expectations of his-friends in vindiéating the principles of, Demoeracy and - L-.\'i)nsin;\r; radical misr_lfi'c. On the 15th - irst., Mr. Morton opened the day in the U. 8. Senate with what his friends were . pleased to call the first Presidentlzidl cam: paign'speech for 1872, wherein he sought | " to arraign the Democracy as a revelution: ‘ " ary party on the pretext of the rescinding ! fifteenth amendment resslutions of the Tn. diana Legislature. Senstor Blair replicd: to this in a bold and forcible effort that " brought a full Bcnate and full 'galleries * for his audience. e thrust home to thé Indiana Senator the fé\*(bldtioxlax'y record of the Radicals, as slfown in the military rcconstruction prot}grmm‘né and in the way the fifteenth, amendment has been forced through State Legislatures in defiance of *the popular will (;.\'pro.:%gd in special eleetions against megrosuffrage.

The Fee I{m'é;my Bill, On Thursaay last, the House of Repre- " sentatives finally passed the fee and salary Jbill just as it camg from the Senate, and it only awaits ‘the signature of the Governor to become a law.. A telegram from Indianapolis says “the bill is sweeping in its changes, and was not satisfactory to a majority of the members, but they voted for it on the codyictiofh that if this bill did not pass, no other’ qs&sat:isf:actorj could be enacted this sesgion, and ag it isin obe . . dience to the demand of the.people in the last canvass for. reform andZretrenchment in the compensatidn of county officers. It . was claimed by members that no law of the character could be wade perfect at the first trial, and if it proved unequal or unjust, its defects could be remedied by the -+ next Legislature.” On' Friday, Judge Taylor, of Allen, introduced bill No, 244 for an act '§nm)femc~ntal to the act in relation to the fees and salarigs of county officers, and to amend some of the defects in that law. -County oficers’ salarics shall be paid 'quarterly out of the county treasury, and said salaries shall take effect on tlie Ist day of June, 1871, and not before. Another Schemd for Perpetuating ) Radieal Power. - The Radicals in’ Congress have under - discussion several plang for increasing Federal power in the ‘South, with a view to suspending the courts of the States and State officials, on the plea that they are not able, and if able, are not willing to enforce the lawg for the suppression of violence and crime, the alleged Ku-Klux organization, &c. One of these propositions, which was under discussion on the .'l4th by the Reconstructicn Committee, provides that United State Commissioners shall be appointed for every county { in the Southern States, with power to is- * sue warrants and serve them. through . deputy marshals, and to commit to jail or hold to bail for trial any person charged - with intimidfl.ti’ng others, or committing unlawful acts; Among othef things, the - disguising of the person or the wearing of a mask on the highways are named as felonies, to be punishable with- fine and imprisonment. Sceret political societies are especially to be prohibited. - ’ e g - B The Judiciary Sonth, ; Petrolcam V. Nasby, one of the leading apostles “of Radicalism, in his lecture . about the “Man of Sin,” lets out the following truth about the Radical officials of the' reconstructed - States, under . the " beneficient rule of the dictator Grant and his military satellites: : ' I met Judges of courts in the Southern States, who ten years ago, were hodtlers in livery stables in the North, and whose knowledge of criminal law they had §gincd from* standing in the prisoner’s dock. - With tflis class of men in the judici- ~ ary, and the respectabls citizens under thl feet, the: Pittsburg ant'aptly re- ~ marks it is not to be wondered that law is defied;in tfi_g South, The remedy pro- - posed by the ‘administration, however, is “to foree still more of these scoundrels in--16 ffiee, and more hopelessly disfranchise J

| MORE BAYONET RULE. Bayonet election laws are to be forced on the whole country. O Wednesday ot last weck & vote was' taken in the House of Repicsentativzqs on & bill known as “the Fundamental Enforcement Act,” by which the Federal election law of last session is ‘made more stringent in almost every respect by imposing penalties of fing and imprisonthent regarding the registration of voters, extending its oi)era; tions to all cities whose population ex ceeds 20,000 inbabitants, bmdeed two citizens' shall ‘apply to the judge of the United - States Circuit .Court in whose circuit thetown or city may be located that fllcy _(l_t;sifc/tfio‘ law to be enforced. Elaborate- powers are given to the mspectors to inspect at all times on the day of elegtion the way the' voting is done,/and to i)crsmmlly 'scr‘utinize, count, and can-, vass every ballot, and to forward their report to a chief supervisorprovided by this act for each Judicial district. Provision is made for the United States Marshal and a number of Heputies to protect and insist, the inspectors, and arrest without any;xvn'rmht any one who interferes with the"vorihg’of'_rcgistmti({n ifmdcr color of ¢ven State or municipal law, or who commits'any of the offences prescribed by this aet. i o 40

This monstrous proposition occupied the attention of the ouse the entire day. According tg the telegraphic reports the Ispeeches on the democratic side were ' keen, brilliant, and most effective. Those i'ct‘MCSSES' Eldridge, Axtell, Cox, Maybam, Woodward, Kerr, Voorhees, and Stiles - were c.l-‘i"t.ticul,'in'(‘isivg and’ simply unanswerable, They were full of too good points te be crowded' into a-sketch like thig, holding up as they did to naked } view -every fehture ot this atrocious bill. : Mr. Eldridge exposed the concealed inten. "tion to extend the aneasure all over the -country towis, Mt Kerrand Mr., Voor* hees ‘commented on the arrests without process, and ‘on the military, feature ;which transférred « the command of 'the army and navy from the President to a dc.-puty-nmrs'lml,M)ile Mr. Voorheées counted up the seventéen military posts which the bill especially provided for. Mr. Btiles caused to be read at the -Clerk’s desk Governor Geary's message condemning the administration for’spnding sol “dicrs into ;PcnnéylV'anigx_oq ‘election d;.y. This discussien Had its effect. The Republicans returned a scattering fir'e‘"on the military feature, and’ finhlly one of them, Mr. Finkelnburg of Missouri, meved to strike it out altogether, and. it was carried by a united Demogratic vote and enough Republicans to make up a majority.— Otherwise the bill passed a little short of a party vote—l 44 to 64—and was sent to the Senate. i o !

e Bribery in Elections. » The Harrisburg Patriot,in an able and well-considered article, demonstrates ver:y‘ clearly that in many counties of the “Old Keystone” it isno longer possible to have ‘a fadr vote or an honest count of the ballots. Large sums are raised by candidates and committees during each politicdl campaign, ostensibly “to bring out the vote,” but really to ph.rclmgcgth‘c eleetors, It is }10:& to impossible for a poor man to’be ‘lelect,cd to office. . Party lines disappear as if by nmg%c in the presence of the wealthy candidate and the politician who brings into. play “the sinews qf war.” lln the larger cities election. officers “ count in ” the candidates who pay most liberally.— In Philadelphia, for example, in the ast gubern afiorial campaign, the sum of twenty thousand dollars ‘was demanded from Judge Packer, the democratic candidate, by certain agents ot the radical judges of election, to ensure him a fair return.— This was very properly refused, and Pack? er was deliberately counted out, as is now admitted by somerof the leading radical politicians of that city. This lamentable state of affairs naturally leads the careful observer to the conviction that purity in elections is a thing of the past, and that money and other corrupting influences now control the political affairs of our country. - : e et

STATE POLITICS. . S i ‘ 1t requires something more tha!n & mere denial on the part of the Auburn Courier to convince any one that Mr. Sarnighausen was not elected Senator from Allen county. - We have the testimony of the several election officers and the clerk of Allen county that Mr. 8. received & majority over his prineipal competitor, and the same is confirmed by the deeision of Judge Lowry. The Supreme Court decided that the grounds upon which Mr. Bird based his contest were invalid, and the Senate committee, betore it was manipulated by Jason Brown and John W. Burson, unanimously reported that Mr. Saruighauséfi was duly elected and that Mr. Bird had fno just grounds to contest the former’s seat. L :

Indiana Republicans at Washington have caused an-announcement to be made that the Indiana Legislature cennot mect between March 6, 1871, 'and the middle of January, 1873 ; and that the Governor has the power to. fill 4 vacancy in the United ‘States Senate. It is considered certain that Senator Morton will resign early in March and assume the duties of Secretary of State, Mr. Fish retiring. In this event, it is believed that Governor Baker will appoint Hon. G. 8./Orth as Senator. b

The Terre Haute Journal, Mr, Voorhees' home organ, makes ‘the following (apparently authoritative) announcement : ° ‘The Laporte Argus states that leading politicians at Indianapolis assert that Hoa. D. W. Voorhees has 'no aspirations for Gubernatorial honors and will ndt accept a nomination for that position. What these * Indianapolis politicians ” - don’t know—in/ their own estimation—is hardly worth finding out, yet we would advise the Argys and the Democracy not to rely implicitly on, such statements, especiaily in this instance.

We tre pleased to notice that one after another of the leadibg democratic papers in the State are taking decided ground in denouncing the expulsion of Senator, Sarnighaysen. ' The New Albany Ledger, Evansville Democrat, Terre Haute Journal, Vincennes Sun, Brookville Democrat, and numerous other democratic journals, characterige the transaction as a flagrant outrage, and freely denounce the action of those who brought it about. :

For GovERNOR.— In James R. Slack’s District he is spoken of as the next-Dem-ocratic candidate for Governor, while at Terre Haute they are nominating Speaker Mack in that connection. In the First District William E. Niblack is the favorite, while in the Second the claims of M. C. Kerr are favorably canvassed. - In this portion of-the . State, as well as in the Third District, Hon. William S. Holman seems to be almost the unanimous'choice as the strongest. man that could possibly be placed upon the ticket. — Franklin Democratic Herald. B e, :

The Waterloo Press, since the facts in the case have become fully developed, ‘is now constrained to admit that the expu)sion of Scnator Sarnighausen “was a flagrant outrage on every principle of right.” That is the opinion of every fair-minded man in the State whose judgment is not warped by prejudice. £ o

Indiana will become a Gtibralter of Democracy.

Wabash and Erie Canal Bonds—lm- " portant Decision, . Judge Biddle decided in the Carroll Cireuit, Court, on Tuesday, Feb. 21st, in the case of John W. Garrett vs the Trustees of the Wabash and Erie canal, that the unsurrendered internal improvement bonds were valid against the State and a lieu upon the public works which are bound for their redemption. He held that the Butler bill does not impair the obligations of the State, but Xxd not pronounce any opinion concerning the bonds voluntarily surrendered under that bill, no. guch question being raised. The Indianapolis Journal speaks in the following terms of the decision and its effect : “This opinion was delivered about the commencement of the present term. It fully recognizes all the unsurrendered Internal Improvement Bonds of the State as valid ‘and subsisting obligations against the State, and as a lien upon the entire system of public works called into existence by the act of January 27th, 1836-—the Wabash and Erie Canal among o¥hers. ‘ - “This opinion of the Court covers every material question involved in this controversy. Yesterday morning a partial judgment was rendered in ac: cordance with the opinion.” It was adjudged that the bonds held by the plaintiff, Garrett, as well as all other ‘unsurrendered bonds of like character, were valid subsisting liens on all those public works, and to the payment of which those works must be subjected. ~“For the information of the Court, and to enable it to settle the details of a final decree subjecting the property, the Court appointed Hon. Byron K. Elliott, of this city, a special commissioner to investigate and report as to the sale by the State of those several works, and as to the value and condition of each when ceded by the State. ‘Also, to report the names of the different holders of those unsurrendered bonds and the amount due to each.

“So soon as Judge Elliott, makes this report, a final decree will be rendered, sequestrating :all those works: for the payment of the'bonds, or di: recting them to be sold outright for that purpose. e : ~ “Though the present gession of the Legislature is drawing on towards its close, we can not but hope that suita ble provision. for the emergency will be made before that bedy adjourns.— There is no business claiming -its attention that is comparable in importance to this. If nothing is done at this session, the Wabash and Erie canal will be sold before another convenes. The result of this is well understood by all who have studied the situation. That result will be financial embarrassment, little short of bavkruptcy, for another generation.— Governor Baker has fully and fairly presented the whole matter in his message, and the responsibility is now with the Legislature.,” .

For Hendricks. ; i The Lawrenceburgh Register announces Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks to be its first choice for the Presidency, and it gives.the following reasons for its preference : ' " In our judgment the nomination of Mr. Hendricks as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency would be a sure augury of success. The great North and Southwest, together with the Middle States, would receive it with a degree of enthusiasm that no other man would inspire. He would receive a heavier vote-in those sections than any man in the nation, while he wou'd carry New York, Connecticut and New Jersey by increased majorities. Add to this the States of the South he would carry in the Electoral College, and he would be elected by an overwhelming vote. It would as effectually crush radicalism as did the election of Pierce in 1852 the opposition'to the Democracy. i But in advocating the nomination of Mr. Hendricks we are not governed by the fact that he is a citizen of Indiana. While we would regard it as' a'great honor for Indiana to furnish the nation with the next President, yet we are governed by a higher motive. We not only desire the success of the Democrati¢ party in 1872, but we desire it to succeed with a. statesman eminently qualified for the™ position. = Believing Mr. Hendricks avould meet our most sanguine expectations in this regard, and without disparaging the claims of others who may be spoken of in connection with that office, we declare Thomas A. Hendricks to be our first choice for the Presidency inlB7B. g

‘An Affecting Seene, - From the Lexington [Ky.,] Press. | .On Sunday last, as the venerable chief justice Robertson was stricken by the hand of death, lay almost insensible to the world which he seemed fast leaving forever, while the’ gigantic brain which, for so many years, has throbbed grandly to the inspirations of his genius, barely fluttered with the consciousnes of life, he expressed a desire to hear Miss Cary sing the ballad of “Old Folks at Home,”" as if the ‘strains of his favorite melody would ‘have power to call back his soul from the portals of the grave which he was go fast nearing. The wish was at once communicated to Miss Cary, who willingly consented to do anything in her power to rouse the ebbing current of life in one who as a statesman or jurist, has known but a few rivals during the course of a long and eventful career. On reaching the residence of Judge Robertson, Miss Cary was at once ush‘ered into the chamber where 8o much of intellect and learning was fast flickering out into the darkness of the unknown hereafter, and without accompaniment of any kind raised her rich contralto voice in the touching worda, “Way Down upon the Sawnee River,” but before she had sang three lines, broke down in-the intensity of her! emotion. Calming herself she again essayed the ballad, and while the venerab{e and stricken man lay drinking her glorious melody, poured out her whole soul in the simple utterance which, gave so much p}{eaanre to one whose ‘giant intellect had, in days agone,fascinated the most talent of the land. When she had ceased, Judge Robertson could scarcely express his gratification by signs, Zet signified a degire that Miss Cary should sing for him, “Home, Bweet Home.” _’gyv’ice did the gifted artiste attempt to com: ply with the request, but her emotion was too great, and chocked with feeling she was -compelled to leave the room. The whole gn'cideut was one of the most touching and affecting episodes. that ever marked the death-bed of departing greatness, ‘

k - Louis Napoleon. e From his palatial prison of Wilhelmshohe, the “ex-Emperor. of the French has issued certain 'pl‘at’itud;s. of the demagogue to ‘the children of " his afflicted country. The address is not very long nor thrilling and yetit is adroit enough, we suspect, to cajole thousands who recall the pageantry of the Empire. It concludes thus:" =~ !~ «It is impogeible to abandon.the destinies of France to an unauthorized gov ernment which was left no authority emanating from universal suffrage.— Confidence and solid peace are only recoverable where people are consulted respecting a government most capable of repairing the disasters to the country.. It is essential that France should be united in her wishes. For myself, bruised by injustice and bitter deception, I do not know or claim my re‘peatedly confirm rights. There is.no room for personal ambition ; but till the . people are regularly assembled, and express their will, it is my duty to say that all acts are illegitimate.— There is only one government in which resides the national sovereignty able to heal the wounds, to bring hope to the firesides, to “re-open .a profxz)m'ed church for prayers and to restore industry, concord and peace.”

The San Dominge Commission 0. K. The San Domingo expedition is‘at last heard from. . /The Tennessee arrived at San Dgmingo City on the 2d inst., havihg spent some previous time in exploring Samana bay, and making inquiries as to the n’urfn‘ber of eligible water lots owned on/that harbor by Mr. Grant and other 'members of the San Domingo ring. The commissioners found Mr. Baez, one of the two. or three presidents of San Domingo, who of course gave them a cordial reception and expressed -himself as ready for a. trade. The commissioners explained to the intelligenf Mr. Baez that they did not come with authority to close a bargain tor the country he wants to gell, but to see about it. Mr. Baez, like an experienced real estate broker, set forth the radvantageous properties of ‘the‘commodity in the best light, and offered to send for Mr. Cabral,another president ot the country, if the commissioners would like to see him. ~lf the commissioners leave the island without seeing Mr. Cabral, and such' other presidents of San Domingo as may be “lying around loose’” in that charming Ethiopian domain, they will fail in_the performance of their whole duty.—Chicago Times . : L o , West Point. T - The troubles of West Point were brought before - Congress on Tuesday of last week. General Slocum ‘made a telling spéech and attracted general attention. He charged openly and sustained his charges by reading the evidences® that the demoralization in the discipline at the military academy was due in the main to President Grant whose conduct in. pardoning. cadets, ‘who had been ‘tried and convicted by court martial, is most reprehensible.— It appeared that on appeals by letter from young cadet Grant, the guilty cadets would be at once pardoned. This becamé so well known at West Point that the officers, under the circumstan: ces, were unable to preeerve the. proper disciplin of the academy. :Every cadet who could thus reach the President knew that he was safe. -

. WALTHAM WATCHES. " The extensive use of. these watches for the last fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers and Expressmen,the most exacting of watch-wear-ers, has. thoroughly demonstrated the strength, steadiness, durability and accuracy of the Waltham ‘Watch: To satisfy that class in all these respects, 48 10 decide the question as to the real value of these time-keepers, 2 More: than 500,000 of these watchés are now gpeaking for themselves in the pocketsof the people—a proof and a guarautee of their superiority over all others, . . ¢ : The superiof organizatfon and great extent of the Company’s Works at Waltham, enables them to praduce watchek at a price which renders com~petition futile, and those who buy any other watch simply pay from 25 to 50 per cent. more for their “watches than is necessary., ; ' Theac-'time-pieccs_km‘nbihe every improvement thata Jloug éxperience has.proved of real practical uge..

:Among the many improvements we weuld parparticularize: P st 8 The invention and use of a centre-pinion of peculiar construction, toprevent damage to the train by the breakage of main-springs, is original with the American Watch -Company, who, having had the refusal of all other contrivances, adopted Dodgon & Foge's patent pinion as being thé best and faultless. s . Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now uni~versally admitted by QVatchmakers to be the best, are used in all grades of Waltham g'atches.
