. THE POLITICAL PROSPECTS. ' The readers of the ARGUS will bear witness that we are not given. to gasconade when epeaking of approaching political events. We prefer to look the facts square in the face and draw, such conclusions as are plainly warranted by fair and logical reasoning. We believe the Liberal-Democratic party is almost certain of success at the approaching Presidential election. Our ; grounds for the belief are based almost entirely upon the fact that in all proba- ‘ bility the October elections will result to the entire satisfaction of the Democratic party. We have taken much trouble to obtain correct information from all parts of Indiana, and we have n6t been able to learn of a single discouraging feature. Qur canvassers all speak in terms of perfect confidence, and men who have visited every county in the State, unhesitatingly say that Indiana will give from ten to twenty thousand majority for Hendricks and the State ticket. By the aid of a little careful figuring, any of our readers can see that this result is altogether probable. With all the frauds and chican“ery that Morton and his followers could perpetuate in 1868, Gov. Baker re'ceived less than one thousand majority. Practically, then, the parties were

about evenly balanced at that time, but we will concede the majority of one thousand. Now, let us see how -the situation has changed since that time, About 5000 negro voters have been added to the Radical vote. This, on the old basis, would give our opponents 6000 majority. But it should be remembered that the election of 1870 shows that this negro vote was a firebrand in the party, for it caused many white voters to break " their old party ties, and vote with the Democrats ; enough of these white men did this to carry the State by from 2,500 to 3,000 majority for the Democrats. 'We then have the prestige of vistory at the last election, and the influence of the power which success in a large number of heretofore Republican counties has brought to us. All this can safely be scored up to our credit to offset the majority which the Radicals had in ’6B. But we are willing to set this advantage aside, and make our calculations from the vote of 68. We would then have a majority of about 6000 to over] come. Now the best informed LiberaRepublicans put their vote at 15,000 in the State, and nobody estimates this strength at less than an average of one hundred to the county. The lowest figures would give us about 10,000 voters, making a change in our favor of 20,000 votes, and giving us a majority of 14,000. * This, then, is the majority which we are .clearly entitled to, and nothing but the most glaring frauds can prevent. it. By watchfulness, the Democrats can prevent nearly all illegal voting and if they will do this and get out their own vote, success is assured. A

In Pennsylvania, success is almost certain. The Radicals are badly divided, and such Grant Republicans as John W. Forney, backed by the inflyence of the Philadelphia Press, are working hard for the Democratic ticket. No one doubts that the result will be a great Liberal-Democratic triumph. The news from Ohio is very cheering, and the Liberals are confident of success, even in that Republican strong hold. But give us Pennsylvania and Indiana, and we will surely get them if the Democrats do their duty, and we will elect Horace Greeley trinmphantly.—ZLaporfe Argns. ” i

Mr Denslow, in his able speech at I Plymonth last Friday, incidentally referred to some of the quotations which the Radical orators and papers are 80 fond of making from old issues of the New York Tribume. At the time when most of these articles ‘ap= peared in the Tribune Mr. Denslow was one of its editors and he speaks from a personal knowledge of the whole matter. As an illustration, he stated that the famous “On to Richmond” articles were all written by Charles A. Dana, who' was ‘then the managing Editor of the T7ibune, and ‘that at that very time Mr. Greeley was spending a few weeks recuperating his health in Minnesota. Those very articles led to a difficulty in gghe editorial corps and Mr. Greeley made it a point that either Mr. Dana or himself must leave the paper, and the stockholders discharged Mr. Dana. “Another instance is the sentiment that Rebels should be made to return to their homes to find them in ntter desolation, -Sidney Howard Gay, was at that time the managing editor, and he was the author of this infamous sentiment. Mr. Gay is now the editor of ‘ a Grant paper, It should be remember that Mr. Greeley only owns a one- ‘ tenth interest in the 77ibume and he ~does not exercise full control over its i columns. He is simply one among a dozen of its editors. and should be beld responsible only for that which he is the author of. No such sentiments s are frequently attributed to him eyer. fell from his pen. “His whole life and his very face shows that he is as char‘atable and philanthropic as he is able sudbonests e

LIGONIER, IND.. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1872.

. The Whole Truth. ’ Wendell Philips blurted out the whole truth in_his recent speech at Lynn, Mass., when he said: - “The reason why I support the Re-~ publican party is that, to my-utter surprise, to my unutterable surprise, to - my indescribable delight, to my relief, 1 have at last found a party that is willing to execute all the laws that are given them. It is for that reason that I say ‘Long live Ulysses Grant! May he continue to be President of the United States until every white man over forty years of age who lives south of Mason and Dixon’s line has been forever put into the ground.”” . 1 * Long live the King!”is a shout which subjects are accustomed to raise over their monarchs. It is common in Europe; but we believe it has dever been heard in this country from the days of George 111,, till now. Wendell Philips is thefirst man toshout the cry to an American assemblage. “Long live Ulysses Grant! ” isa new idea, and it must have a meaning. We uever before thought of crying “ long live” an American president, for the very good reason that it was a small matter to us whether his life was long or short. He is not a hereditary ruler but an elective one, He is chosen not for life, but for four years. If he does well we are accustomed to elect him for a second term—never_for a third; and if he does ill, we let him drop and elect some one else. For these sufficient and conclusive reasons, it never occurred to the American people to shout “long live” 'a president. They did it not in the case of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson or Lin-~ coln, who, alone of our presidents were thought worthy of a re-election. The presidential term is a short period; it was carefully and deliberately made go, for the reason that the people could double it by a re-election in the case of an acceptable president, while itislong enough in the case of an unacceptable. one. What then is the meaning of the strange foreign shout that the fierce prophet of Radicalism raises in' the land 2 . i

The prophet interprets his own lan~ guage. Mr. Philips wants to make Grant president, not merely for two terms, nor even for three, but for life ; therefore he prays *“Long live Ulysses Grant.”” He measures out his length of years with as brutal a wish as was ever uttered in the presence of a christian audience; “ May he continue to be president of the United States until every white man over forty years of age who lives south of Mason and Dixon’s line‘halsrjzeen forever put into the ground.” is means, not only presideut for life, but president for a long life. There are many white men liv~ ing south of Mason and Dixon’s line, who wili live to be eighty years of age: there will be a few who will not be ““forever put into the ground” nntill they have reached the age of a hundred years. Mr. Phillips would have Grant reign until the last of these shall have disappeared, = : . Is Frank Blair’s prediction of 1863 to be fulfilled, then by the very party that laughed atit? Has Grant in the evil order of things established by himgelf, made himself so indispensible to his ‘party that it would place itself and the country under the yoke of his authority for sixty years? There is some reason to apprehend this, tor, though Wendell Philips talks like a man in a frenzy, it is a singular fact that his frantic utterances of to-day are the platform of his party to~morrow. At present the Radical party recoils at the mingled shout and prayer which he has uttered. but events have proved that that party has lost authority over iteelf. Grant has made himself its master and it has learned to obey him to a greater extent than it is willing to admit. If he bhould be re-eleeted who can say that the nomination at Phila~ delphia may not be repeated in 1876, and againin 1880—and repeated again and again until the death of its master ghall release the enslaved party from its bondage.—St. Louis Republican.

The Terre Haute Journal is the only paper in Indiana, which makes any pretentions to respectability or influe ence, that gave encouragement to the Bourbon movement. It now develops a decided leaning towards the support of Greeley, and on the euh.jéct of the attempt to ran a Bourbon State ticket it has the following remarks: - “The Indiana delegates to the late Louisville Convention are preparing to call a Convention at Indianapolis for the purpose of nominating a “State ticket”” and .the fransaction of other business. Such action would be the sheerest folly, especially so far as putting forward a State ticket is concerned. The Democrats in Western Indiana, of all shades, area unit in their support of the present Democratic State ticket and they will vote for it under all circumstances. : . Furthermore, Maj. W. C. Moreau, the head and prime mover in this enterpise, is hardly the proper person to get up State Conventions for the purpose of obtaining and directing Democratic influence and votes. The matter bad better be dropped, as. it will certainly prove a mortifyings failure vnder the circumstances.

In the summer of 1864, the Union Pacific Railroad Company made a raid on Corgress, and succeeded in getting the first mortgage held by the Government as security for its subsidy of bonds converted into a second mortgage. . The same act provided that the Company might execute a first mortgage, and issue bonds to the same amount per mile as the Government subsidy, and sell them to the public for the best price they could get. This bill, which was equivalent, practically, to converting the government loan into a gift, and has since turned out that way, was passed by so overwhelmning a vote that the minority who oppose it were unable to muster strength enough to call the yeas and nays on it. This is a chapter of history which becomes rather interesting at the preset vhmel - o e

. Hendricks a Friend in Need. ; Michig:mg City Correspondence LaPorte Argus. - Mr. T. W. Francis, of this city, a Grantite by the way, relates an anecdote of our candidate for Governor, which I have not yekeeen in print, and, as it is too good to be lost, I will give it as nearly as possible ss'%e relates it. It seems that when Mr. geﬁdricks went to California‘a few years ago, one of his fellow passengers was a German who had accumulated a little property in the Golden State, and was now on I his way to his home in California with his little family, who had come over from Eur?n, in order that he might have them b’fthhimv to enjoy the fruits of his honest {gﬂ An exhausting sea voyage had left one of his little children very ill—so sick that its life was despaired of. Upto the tims the passengers were transferred at Omaha, this man and his family occupied a berth in the centre of the sleeping car, remaved from the draughts of air-which is unavoidable if one is placed near the door. ‘Among the passengers was a party of cler- ; ical;.gentlemen', who occupied alberth near thesiesr. The cold, wintry blast did not set well on the stomachs ' of these sleek, teachers of morals, and after thetrain was’ made up at Omaha and well under way, Mr. Hendricks observed that our German friend and his little sick child had been placed near the door, in the berth lately occupied by the aforesaid sleek teachers, &e., &c. He saw that the child’s life was in imminent danger from the exposed position of the berth, and thatif they remained in.that position the rest of the trip, the chill winter blasts would make short work of the little one. ' IHe further observed that the clerical: gentlemen had. ensconced themselves in the comfortable quarters lately occupied by the little family. On inquiry, the father said that he had been assigned that berth and he supposed that he must stand it, although he was,aware that great injusticc had been don®’ him, and he feared it would gertainly be the means of hislittle ones death, Mr. H. then ‘went for the conductor and told him he must put that man and his family in the berth that he was entitled to, or he would report him upon his arrival in San Francisco, and have him discharged. The conductor, a colored gentleman by the way, and, I venture -to say, if he is still on on this munidane sphere, is one of Grant’s suppbi‘teré, was at ﬁxjsf inclined to be rather impudent, questioning Mr. Hendrick's right to interfere in the premises; but he was'soon convinced that if he did not oust the parsons from their ill-gotten nest, and install the man that was justly entitled to ‘ it, it would be the worse for him. Mr. Hendricks then approachﬁed those false teachers of the religion of the Savior of man;kind, and gave' them such a scoring that they begged and prayed him not to expose them. They were only too gladto give the berth to the rightful owners and resume their seats near the door. Our poor friend with his little sick ¢hild and f'auqilj‘, were then installed in their bérth and were no.t disturbed throughout the restof the trip. e B &m’ itbe'that Thomas A. Hendricks, who is'at the head of the Liberal ticket asa candidate for Governor, the friend of the poor and lowly, the man who. will not suffer an injustice to be done to any one when it is in his power to preyent it, the man who amid strangers. raised his powerful voice to protect a poor German with a sick child from imposition-and wrong, is the oily Gammon which some of the Administration papers are wont 'to portray him?

Cash vs. Credit for the Farmer. It seems unfortunate that many far~ mers hiave fallen into the habit of getting on credit articles /that they may need, instead of paying the cash down. If the farmers’ club can effectually establish the cash gystem, instead of the credit one, which has been encouraged by a class of country merchants and othiers doing business with the farmers, it will bave performed a-great work, . If a man owns a farm, no difference how poorly it may be improved, or how much the soil may have been reduced by mismanagement, his mer~ chant, his grocer, his blacksmith, all knowing the advantage of gelling on time, urge him to open an account, and pay when he sells his grain or stock. They know that the extra trade they will get will more than pay for all the bad debts which may be made, to say nothing of the extra profit they make by selling to parties who buy on time.

Frad Douglass is at the head of the New York Radical electoral ticket. In 1856 this same orpamental African shouted at Troy: “From this time forth I consecrate 'the labors of my life to the dissolution of the Union; and I care not whether the bolt that rends it comes from heaven or from hell.” g S

There was joy in a neighborhood in Cincinnati over the conversion of a man who had previously made it lively by his wicked ways, Their joy was turned to mourning when the doctor announced that it was cholera morbus and not religion that ailed him, with no prospect of a fatal termination. .

“Mr. Wilkes does squint,” said the female admirer of John Wilkes, “‘but he squints no more than a gentleman and a man of honor ought to squint.” In a like manuer Conkling thinks Grant is no'more of a nepotist than a respectable man and soldier who crushed the rebellion ought to be. ;

- The Christian Union, Ward Beecher’s paper, blasphemes right in the face of the N. Y. Times by saying: “The Republican party has suffered, like all long successful parties, from a horde of plunderers, high and low, who in the shelter of its ranks, have pillaged the community.” ' L

THE Grantites devoutly impiore all Democrats to “stick to their principles.” And yet for ten years the same fellows were either threatening to hang Demo: crats for adbering to their principles, or stoutly declaring they had no principles atall, e

ADDRESS OF THE LIBFRAL REPUBLICAN STATE EXECUIIVE COM-~ MITCEE. By s The Liberal Republican party of Indiana never having had a Mass or Delegate Convention in the State, the Executive Committee have thonght it advisable to issue this address to state the reason of our, position toward the old Republican party, and, in orief, show that we, as a party, are proposing, what we are doibg, and how we are succeeding. b ‘What, then, is the purpose and hope of our party ? It cannot better be expressed ‘than in the ringing platform of our Convention, and the matchless letter of|our candidate. These documents are already bistoric. Every section of 'the platform is clear and explicit, with one interpreta-. tion North and the same Sputh, with the East and West reading it alike. 'lt is a platform that recognizes the fact that the: world moves, and that certain questions which have long been foremost in political discussion have been forever settled: With slavery dead, the whole field is changed. With the war over, it and its bitter animosities should alike be removed from. politics. These vital facts our platform recognizes. We point with pride to it, and pledge ourselves to its faithful execution, if Horace Greelcy is clected upon it.” We say then that it is our purpose tgQ carry out the Cincinnati platform. " What are we doing? From the day ‘the Convention adjourned Liberalism has been constantly increasing in strength and moral power. There has been no sudden outbreak of enthusiasm, nosgreat conversions in“a day. The growth has becn steady and reliable, as a child coming to mianhood. A movement full of such gravity as this does not quickest affect the class of community that goes off in a blaze of | enthusiasm without knowing why. THis movement appealed to the thoughtful and brave of the Republican party. Slowly they recognized its full import and accepted its mission. We have gained g 0 quietly that our opponents have been able to snlace themselves with the hope that there was no growth, There has been no refluent wave ; no backward step: Every motion has been forward. ; ' The State Central Committee apmd'

at Cincinnati, having no central headquarters, was unable to take more than local action. When the Executive Committee was appointed, some weeks ago, its first work was to find who were Lib eral Republicans and where fhey were. The generous assistance of our Democratic friends all over ‘the Biate, enabled’ the Committee to get into communication with Liberals in a short time. In this way the strength of the Liberal Republicans were ascertained. From every part of the State we have the most gratifyivg returns. .Our most sanguine hopes were more than realized. We hat read so often in Grant papers that there were .ao Liberal Republicans in particular- named localities that we began to credit the story. But careful investigation has shown us that our strength has been greatly underestimated even by ourselves, . without urging from any source—without consult ation; without knowing who lor how many would be with them. They are the best citizens in their loealities for honesty, 1n: dustry, and intelligence. / It has been almost the sole work of the Committee to thus ascertain and develop our strength. This has been mainly dbne by correspondence ; we have had speakers and doc: uments doing their work, but we bave learned Inore trom the letters of our friends, and been able to accomplish more in this way than in any other. In auswer, then, to the query, What are we doing? we' say-that we have been and are putting she party upon a footing to feel its strepgth, - - '~ While this-was being done we should perbapsallude to the extraordinary course of the opposition, our old co-workers, and friends. From the first they have carried on the canvass with a coarseness and vitu.: peration unequalled. No words were strong enough to express their wrath with, us In the press, on the stump, and even in what should be friendly conversation, they have poured. on us such storms of, abuge, of -slander, of ridicule, of foul charge‘and ipsinuation, that it required no little moral courage to stahd out.and be known as a Liberal Republican. We have yet to hear the first speech or read the first paper that has treated us with decency. The candidate who would like our votes, and who cannat be elected without them, have been loudest in- this abusive deluge. Not unnaturally, this had an apparent effect. Men dislike to declare themselves Liberal Republicans when it seemed to be an invitation to abuse. No'man likes this, and few will endure itif it can be avoided. Many men, and the number includes not a few who would have continued true to the old party but for this course, determined that they would vote against any party that could do nothing better than abuse its opponents. These did not and do not always declare themselves, but they will; be found voting a ticket that will surprise the party of abuse. We have no doubt that it/ will be found that, for every man now published known as a Liberal Republican, there will be three, who are to the public unknown, who will vote with ws. The in: stinctive love of fair play that is most powerful in the American people was awakened, and very many will vote with us who began by condemning the mansgers and speakers of the old party. Their vicious tactics have Léen of powerful as. sistance to us. We are stronger by thousands for it. It is not to be wondered at that men who are trying to fan into the old flame all the bitterness of the war, who bave showed such' animogity and vindictiveness that their party has fairly won the name of the party of hate,should wholly zely upon scurillity and abuse. This is a refuge of weakness and a confession. : L ' In fine contrast to the course of abuse and epithet of the opposition we point with pride to our own course. Biding their time to answer the abusive torrent, the Liberal Republicans of Indiana have disregarded all efforts to drive them to the use of a similar method. ' They have endeavored quietly to show to the world that the principles they profess are pa: tiiotie and demanded by the best interests of the country. That this great movement, was begun in good faith, and that it could accomplish all it professed; that the need of the Nation for peace and fraternization was here to be met ; that a pure Civil Service Reform, which is sourgently demanded may be accomplished on the Cincinnati platform. .Tﬁ{s’ tem. perate course has been of itself ‘an argument for Liberalism, when contrasted with the violence and intolerance of the opposition. As the party that lives only by reviving old animosities and fanning into activity the almost forgotten bitterness of the war, may naturally be expected to ‘speak. to those who oppose it in an angry and intemperate speech, so naturally we have used simply the force of bonest statement and quiet demonstration, ‘The Liberal ﬁﬁgﬁm@ﬂifﬁi‘uﬁwbﬁ congratulate themselves on the method and tone of their canvass, =~ mi%mgm%‘?ﬁn ‘unceasingly to develop and assist Liberal Kepabﬂwimu wmw mAY WAy lenring Oth caution upon ~whom to trust.

of the carpaign we bave had the heartiest and most valuable assistance from the Democratic State Central Committee, and from Democrats 1n all parts of the State.’ Knowing as we do how lavishly money -was used to beguile Democrats into what has become known as the Bourbon movement at Louisville, the sole object of which whea revealed was'the election of General Grant ; knowing liow they scorned the shameless treachery that -would pat money in’their hands at the price of their country’s peace, we give them all honor Nothing bas so convinced the world ‘of the honesty and good faith of the Demo ‘cratic party in its sublime unselfishness and devotcd patriotism as the disgraceful failure of this hopeful plan of the Administration. . e B The Democratic -party deserve -honor Tor the ncble way in which it has met this crisis. In accepting the candidates and platform of the Liberal Republican party at Cincinnati they were but true to the ancient and honored traditions of the party. The watchword of the party un: der its wisest leaders has been, “The Con. stitution as it is and the Union as it was.” They return to that when they say to day, “Thz Constitution as it is; though amend. -ed without our voice, it is still the-Oon-stitution, -and we reverence it.” ‘Who does not join them in 'the prayer for “the Union asiit was?”" . The one prayer most earpestly in the héarts of the American people is for Peace and Fraternization—. not the mocking. pedce that comes with half the people in chains, not the peace of ‘the brutal warrior made by murderous solitude, but a true, a restful, a lasting; a prosperous- peace in which the Nation would feel the strength of a reunited people. “The Union as it was,” when the blood and passion of the war are forgotten and tae Sunny South, freed from the “blight of slavery, shall bloom forth our pride and prosperity.. .;0 e Gl One section does not want. the other “pinped to it by bayonets.” We hold éach otheronly by /o ot iae s = v “Those mild arms of truth and love,” = WeAvant no such ugion as that of Ireland to England, held by an armament in the face of the solemn’ protest of one bloody outbreak after another, making the history of tlie Union a shock to civilization, - G e : ; ~ We believe this prayerful hope may find rich fruition in ‘the election. of Horace Greeley. No man‘inall thisland so fally embodies the grand.words of ‘the heroic Lincoln, “With malice toward none, with charity to all”—written as they are in the bearts of the people—as Horace Greeley. Under hig firm and benignant Admiristration we will begin to enjoy that longed - for peace denied ‘us for seven delusive years. 4 e s e - A little time yet remains in which we may present the truth and merit-of “this great 'struggle. ' There are still many doubtful men who ought to vote with us. Let us give every hour that we have to the cause. The nation ig watching Indiana. As she and her sister States, Ohio. and Pennsylvania, vote in October, so in all: probability will the cpuntry voteé in No--vember. Let us doqur part nobly. A noble cause demands every effort. If we’ but achieve the sarxle- results that our brethren in North Carolina, Vermont,and: Maire ' have done, our victory' will be. complete. The ratio of reduction of the Grant vote in those States will, if achiev¢d here, give us a trinmphant victory.

~The Scamps. ~° . i The split among the Palmetto State carpet baggers is bringing various interesting speculations to light. For example, a “South Carolina Land' Commission” was chartered by a late Legislature and given $700,000 of State fiinds to. “buy land for the landless.” The (_),ommis"si(meg'sa havibg thus stolen the garb of heavén; proceeded to serve the devil with cheerful alacrity. They bought ‘Hell Kole Swamp,’ near Charleston, for 26,100, and turned it over to the| State for $120,000. The whole $700,000 went, and notfone of the landless got any land. Tlfieso,;and other frauds, were ordered to be investigated. The investigation- was superintended by the Hon. Joseph Clews, who spent just $168,000 in doing nothing. This honordble rascal submitted a bill of items. One of them was §75,000 for legal advice from a certain gentleman. This. latter at once announced that he” had givea no advice and leceived no fee, Somebody suggested that Mr. Clews' investigating committee should be investigated. - Mr. Clews cheerfully remarked that two could play at that game, and that he would take half the Legislature to- the penitentiary with him. The subject was dropped by general consent. i un LR R R e

-Grapes and Their Culture, It is surprising that so-many familiesin the country are ‘willing to live year after year ‘without cultivating a single grapevine about their dwellings. -They are’ compelled to purchase this delicious truit for the table or not taste it during the scason. There i 3 a common impression that to cultivate grapes perfectly a vast amount of knowledge and tact is required. To raany the simple trimming of & vine is a miystery. " This is an erroneous view, and ought not-to:prevail. - Any person of common intelligence can learn .in an hour how to trim and nourish vines; and, if instruction cannot be obtained from some | experienced cultivator, there are books filted with cuts and illustrations which' make everything plain, Three vines of as ‘many different varieties planted in some sunny nook, or by the side of some building, s 0 as to obtain shelter, will, if properly cared for, farnish many a bushel of delicions grapes every yedr. Select a Concord, a Delaware, and an Adirondack; make the ground mellow and rich by the use of the spade, and by employing old manure, finely ground bones, and ashes; and set out the plants. In three years the. rich clusters will appear,and in four years the product will be abundant. Itis well to bave vines planted so ‘that the waste liquids from the dwellings can be used in fertilization. If thereisany food the vine especially loves it is the soapy liquids which accamulate on washing days in families. Vines drenched every week with these ligu'i_dn.;wmm‘;ighumon&h..‘ ingly, and extend themsa}ves so as to cov. er large buildings, every branch bearing fruit. We say to our reader, plant vines

FRAUDS IN ELECTIONS How Indiana has been Carried for the .Radical Ticket in Past Years. C - - - The Indianapolis Sentinel ot Wednes‘day, contairs a most remarkable article, over eight columns in length, exposing the Radical conspiracy which has existed. 4n Indiana for thelast twelve or fifteen years for the perpetration of frauds on the ballot box. - | ~ The ‘means used to make and keep Indiana a Radical State are laid bare in .all their. enormity. The mask is lifted from the faces of the ballot box: stuffers -and robbers, and the peaple may now see and knew how they have béen swindled for the benefit ofa few trading politicians -about Indianapolisand vicinity, who have _controlled the State Government and its patronage since the lamented A. P. Wil“lard’s Gubernatorial term expired. That the most outrageous frauds have _been practiced in the elections of Indiana for ‘many years, the people have long been eatisfied. = But for the first time the veil has been lifted, and the anvarnished tale plainly told as to how the work was dore. ! ) It is impossible, in the length of an.or. dinary newspaper article, to set forth the _particulars ot this most extraordinary disclosure.. A hundred thousand copies of it ought to be published, and they should - be scattered through every school district in the State, so that all might learn the yillainy that has been practiced in our elections. In this way the voters would learn to guard jealously their rights in the admistration of public affairs, and see to it that unscrupulous demagogues do not defeat the voice of the majority by tricks of ledgerdemain and juglery executed in a way to deceive the very elect. Suffice it to say, that this exhibit contains the state: ments of seventéen witnesses who detail the schemes that have been practiced for nany years to corrupt the bollot.box in Marion, Morgan, Johuson and Hamilton counties. The particulars of debauchery -are minytely given, with the names of the actors i the criminal broceeding. ; Among the devices resorted toto defeat the honestly expressed.will of the people, we may mention the following : - 1. The “sléeve package system” of dropping spurious tickets into the ballot-box and picking out democratic tickets instead. L ci ‘

- 2. The “slight of hand system” by which the inspectors change the ticket »tv;vhile pretending to put, it in the ballot- - OX. : i ; 3. The “false reading system” by which in ‘counting out, a democratio ballot is proclaimed and counted for the opposite party. i ’ - 4. The “lunch trick,” by |which the democratic members of the election board wcre induced for a good dinner to allow the ballot-box to remain for a few minutes out of their sight, when, with|false keys, it was opened and stu.ffed at vfill, 5. The “tissue ticket system,” by which a given number of picked menqklre enabled to vote five, ten, or even twenty tickets, besides their own, and the [poll books, from a spurious list hidden at hand, are supplied with fiéticious votexjs to corre- - spond. § « The patticulars of the workiing of these systems are explained with |the vtmost precision, leaving not the shadg of a shadow of a doubt of the truth of the narrative. -In the long list of participants in this nefarious business, and their aiders and abettors, we see such Jveil-knowu names as Alexander H. Conner, recently ‘the chairmgn of the Radical S(jate Central Committee; P. H. Jamison, Qliver Johnson,; James G Douglass, Samuel H. Doug- - lass, Wm. H. Loomis, John{ Unversaw, - John D. Evans, late Aaditor of State; Watt J. Evans, and many others of equal pote. All these are, and | have been for years, active leaders in.the Radical party. The plans which they laid and executed successfully to defeat Homn. T. A. Hendricks, for Governor, in 1868, are carefully unfolded, and we must say, is the blackest piece of infamy that was ever perpetrated under the name of an election. It seems that 1n many counties the pollbooks and tally sheets were¢ absolutely altered so as to raise Baker'ﬁvote and to cut down the vote of Mr.| Hendricks. This was done in Hamilton,Lßoone, Wabash and other counties, while in Marion county, William H. Loomis managed to abstract over seven hundred Democratic tickets from the various ballo? -boxes and burned them in the jail building. - But it is unnecessary to continae the recital. It is enough to know that the iniquity was successfully accomplished, and it now becomes us to see whether the thing can be repeated. With a knowledge of the facts before us, it certainly ddes appear that some measures of salety can be devised to prevent the repetition of this outrage in the approaching elec~ tion. Let Liberal Republicans and Demccrats everywhere be on the alert and’ watch the ballot boxes until the last ticket is counted. Never allow the boxes to be conveyed out of sight on any pretext whatever. A dear lesson has been learned, - but if we profit by its teachings in the future, the pang of past mistakes will be greatly lessened. ‘ The most gratifying part of this disclosure of frand is the statement that O. P. Morton is directly implicated in its perpeturtion. In the seventeen states inents published by the Sentinel, no direct conpection of this wiley demagogue with the villainy is exposed, but the Sentinel - gives us to understand that more developments are to' be made, and clearly intimates that Morton has beea caught in tho nest of those who have robbed the people of Indiana of their political rights. That he is capable of such meanness and criminality, all who understand his depraved sensibilities will freely admit. He is the most' dishonest man in political aflairs that breathes the air. There is no depths - of depravity to which he would not de- - scend in order to subserve his own selfish and ambitious ends. He is a bold, bad man. ' That his plottings have come to light is really a cause of general congrats ulation. e

Sced Timothy in Standiung Corm. Any experienced hay-maker knows the uncertainty of getting a good stand by any of the old methods of seeding timothy. Two-thirds of thetime only a partial set is oblained, and the farmer, l?oping for improvement in the set, cuts and rakes over the ground year after. year, getting ‘half a orop, or less, and that largely mixed with weeds and briers, until he finds that the weeds and briers are improving in their set. Then he concludes to cultivate the land in corn or sonfe other crop to kill the briers, preparatory to another trial at seeding to timothy., i I will warrant any of the old modes &) fail two thirds of the time to get a good -crop—full average crop—the first year, and I will warrant twothirds of the efforts to succeed in good sets and a fall average crop the first year if seeded in standing corn in & proper manner.
