From the poor, industrious son of one of the first pioneers of the State; from the farm and the plow to his profession, and from thex:tce to the halls of the, American Senate, Le has steadily, nobly, manfully fought his way, achieving success only by an #mnest life, industrious labor and meritoriqus services.

THE WABASII AND ERIE CANAL. | i 'l’ax-l’ayfers,;l.oiok Out! o In voting for candidates of the Legis--lature next Tuesday, the people of Indiana should bear in mind that our State is threatened with one of the most enormous | jobs that has beén put through for many years. The history of the case is briefly as folows: In 1828-30, and later, Indiana was a victim of the prevailing malady | of internal improvements. Among other | works undertaken was the Wabash and Erie Canal, to construct which the State issued bonds to the amount ot $10,000,000. There were other State bonds:outstanding, aod, in 1845, the State sank under thé lload, and. stopped payment of interest. These bonds bore interest, some at 6, and others at 7 per cent. = The canal was not completed, and 1n those days it was considered that if it could be finished it wo'd rapidly pay for itself. But the means ahd credit of the-State wére exhausted. After a long negotiation between the State and ite creditors, it was agreed that one half ‘the outstanding bonds should be funded 1n 5 per cent. bonds, and one half in canal s'crip, bearing & per cent. interest, and that the acceued and unpaid interest should be funded in bonds and scrip, bearing 214 per cent.interest. Under this( agrecment the State conveyed the canal ‘ entire to the trustees appointcd, by the holders of the canal scrip, and also certain lands in Georgia, and several town lots in ‘Brooklyn, N. Y. * The State assumed to pay the bonds, and was released from all i responsibility of the canal scrip, the canal itself being in satisfaction of that half of the debt rep‘resénted_j by the canal scrip. Inother words, thé State gave for cnehalf its debt, the canal and other property. i The new holders of the ‘canal, however, ‘never completed the work, and not a dol lar has ever been paid on either principal or interest of the scrip. The original debt was $14,000,000, one half of which was paid byb per cent, bonds, all of which the State has since paid off, principal and interest. The holders of the other half of the debt accepted the canal as a better security than the State bonds, and, as it ‘bas turned out, madc a bud bargain. This $7,000,000, with fifteen years sccumulated interest, now amounts to between $15,000,000 and $16,000,000. It seems that the State, 'in making the bargain, pledged itself to do &ll acts tending to aid the same, and to avoid all acts calculated to impair its business, diminish its t()ils, or render it less profitable. It isnow ¢claim ed that, several years later, the State, by general act, permitted and encouraged a system of railways whichhave complétely absorbed transportation that might have been done on the canal. . ¢

The olaim, which is.likely to Le pre. sented next winter i, that the State shall take back the canal and pay this adctmulated debt and interest. - L The danger which threatens the State of Indigna is that the Legislature will yield to the blandishments of the lobby holding sixteen millions of dollars wox;&h of scrip, now utterlj worthless, . but’to ‘which the Legislature can givea value of 100 cents on the dollar, The power of this lobby has been felt on more than one occasion. An effort may at any time be made to pass a law taking back the canal and assuaring the debt. The only way to guard against such a calamity is to vote for men wﬁoéoupresent honesty and integrity is a suflicient guaranty that no such transaction will be cQuﬁtenanced by them. Remember that a debt of sixteen millions of dollars might be fastened upon the people, inasmuch -as:the owners of the canal could well afford to spend one balf ot that amount to secuie the passage. of such an fact. g

_Citizens of Noble county : Bear in mind that Heary C, Stantey took a bold and decided sfand against this canal swindle during the session of the late Legislature; that he voted against every proposition calculated to further the ends of the lobbyists; that he will do so again; that he is a man whose honesty has never been questioned, and that he can under no circumstances be induced to swerve from the path of right and justice. v ~ Tax-payers of Noble-and Elkbart counties: Judge Harrison Wood, candidate for Joint Representative on the Liberal ticket, has given this canal question con—siderable attentiin and understands. it thoroughly. Asone of the heaviest taxpayers in the two counties, as an uncom. promising opponent of legislative jobbery, as an independent thinker, and as a true friend of the people’s interests, he will be vigilant and active in - thwarting the schemes of the lobbyists, ; Fre¢men of Indiana: Thomas A. Hendricks,ias a lawyer, statesman and politician, stands upon record as an unflinching opponent of this contemplated canal job., During the legislative session of 1871 Gov. Baker, a political opponent, called upon Mr. Hendricks to rebut the arguments of the canal owners, a request with which Mr. Hendricks complied by administering a masterly rebuke to their pretensions. Hendricks is an honest, incorruptible man ;—vote for him for Governor, and you ‘need bave no fears that he will ever give his consentto this programme of the Wall street speculators who are now sending money to Indiana for the purpose of controlling the impending election in the interest of the Grant party.

ReMEMBER voters, Henry C. Stanley, and Judge Harrison Wood candidates for county and joint representatives to the legislature, represent the interests, and will oppose all laws operating against the Farmer, the Mechanic, or the Laborer. They are good, intelligent practical men. Both are farmers ; both honest and unpurchasable men. Our legislature ought to be full of such men. sive us Stanley and Wood.

INDIANA has passed from the list of doubtful States. Nothing but fraud can prevent Mr. Hendricks’ majority from attaining fifteen thousand. Fraud has done the work for Morton ; but this time the friends of honest government have determined that the election shall be a fair one. Democrats and Liberal Republicans, strengthen your stakes. Cbarge along the line. =~ / e - Vorz for Edward Price, for Clerk; and John C. Robinson for Reporter of the Supreme Court of Indiana,

Voters---Their Qualifications, By the Constitution of our State,voters must be white males of the age of twenty.one years. By the 15th Amendment, and act of Congress passed pureuant thereto, the right of voting is extended to eolored -males of the fequired age, possessiug the requisite qualifications otherwise. The second constitutional qualification is residence in the State for a period of six months immediately preccding the eleétion ; and byscction 5 of act of June 7, 1852, “Each elector shall vote in the township or precinct in which he resides.” The residence of 20 days in the town. ship t> entitle a party to vote, as required by section 1 of act of March 11, 1867, has been declared unconstitutional and void | by the Supreme Court in the case of Quin vs. The State of Indiana, decided in Sept.lB7l. Actual residence in the town-. ship at time of voting, and six morths in the State immediately previous, is now all the legal provision on this point. As to - what constitutes a residence, our Supreme Court says in the above case: “There, “must be the act of abiding or dwelling “at the place with. the intention of re“maining. Whenever these two unite, “there is a residence within vgix_c meaning “of the Constitation, and the party is & “legal voter so far as this qualification is “concerned.” o . : The provision'in the act'of March 11th, 1867, requiring the numbering of ballots Ly the inspectors, bas also been decided unconstitutional, by our Supreme Court, in- the case of Williams vs. Stein. The numbering or marking of ballots in &ny manner is therefore illegal. ' % i In case the voter be of foreign birth, if of the requisite age, in addition to the residence of six months in the State, if -he shall have resided in the United. States one year; and shall have déclared his intention to become a citizen thereof, conformably to the laws of the same, he shall be entitled to the exercise of the right of suffrage. The right of voting is the high prerogative of the American citizen. The preservation of our civil rights ‘and liberties, and the political institutions of our coun. try in all their purity and strength, rests upon the wise, honest, untrammeled. and judicious exercise of this prerogative by intelligent, independent freemen. -

A vote on next Tuesday for E. V. Long, Esq., Liberal candidate for Congress, is"a vote for a wholesome reduction of the tariff, a declaration against congressional bribery and corruption; in favor of a true, honest, financial and -<ivil service reform; reconciliation and peace between all the people, and all sections of the land.

. Communicated. To Republicans. The question, “Have we any Bourbons among us?’ we all can answer. But what concerns us more is, have' we Republicans among us who see plainly the need of civil service reform, not in word only, but in deed ; the need also of a relentless bunting down of corruption in low as well as high places, and a restoration of fraternal good will throughout our whole countryin. its broadest sense, and yet who are standing in the ranks with those who say that such reform is a humbug ; that there is no corruption -in officials under -the present administration more, than is incident to all, past, or to come; and that the christian religion, which many of them profess, does pot require them to forgive or forget those who were in arms against ‘their country a few years ago, protesting in their sincerity of belief that they were in the right, but now acknow ledging they were in the wrong, accepting the situavion, and Asking to be brothers again in good faith, determined to work with us hereafter tor the good of our common country. I believe there are such, and that an appeal should be made to them, and at once. Republicans, wherever you are, can you not discern the signs of the times? ‘We may not move on to success at once, but it must ultimately be so. The car of Reform is moving on. The battle between Right and Wrong is being fought, and you,standing on as you do, is like the straggler who lays behind -out of danger’s way till the fight is over, and is tben ready to come forward to claim a share in the victory. Do not stand hesitating longer. You can and should do your share of the work, and preserve your seclf-respect.” “Why halt ye between two opinions?:” Now's the day, and now’s the hour.” » " A LIBERAL REPUBLICAN.

Voters of Noble county once again it will be your grateful duty, and we doubt not your hearty pleasure,to give James J, Lash,candidate for Treasurer, a triwmphant magority.

Next to his God, a man’s first duty is to his country, and this fall it is particularly urgent that this duty be performed. Weé'go to the polls pext Tuesday to fight the leaders of a party that opposes reunion and reconciliation, that makes the rich richer and the poot poorer, that legislates for the ‘monopolists and neglects the laborer. - We go also to support the interests of the workingmen of the land. We go for lpopu‘lar liberty, for| inhereot right, for fraternal love, for ¢verything that makes a government dear to the people and precious as the apple of their eye.

Saylor’s Spcech. Ouve evening last week H. B. Saylor, radical candidate for Congress, this district, made a speech to the people of this place, consisting of two parts: the sayings and writings of Horace Greeley concerning the Democrats for a period of thirty vears, and pe{sonal abuse and misrepresentation of Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, the purest public man that the truthful ven of the historian will ever record among American statesmen. - : We hed intended showing up this demagogue by an entire review of his very labored effort = Want of time and space forbids, and" the character of his epeech demands but that a single point, sought “to be made by the gentleman, be referred to. This point we take up for the reason that it furnishes a complete index to the “character of the whole, and seemed to be ! regarded by some few of his hearers with more plausibility than any other part of his remarks. He stated that Mr. Hendricks’ while in the Senate in 1867 voted for an amendment to a bill, introduced by Senator Doolittle, requirin'e a property qualification for-voters in all the States. [ethen appeals to his hearers to say what they thought of a man who favored the disfranchisemént of every poor man who did not own §250 worth of property in this State. ~ :

" We propose to let u Republican editor, and & Grant one at that, answer the gentleman, The LaFayette Courier, of this State, of a recent date, s,a;s: “Th“ea'oixject “of this amendment was to prevent col“ored men, a majority of whom, at that “time, were not owners of property to the “amount of $250, from voting: they had “just been freed—cast upon their own re: “gources—after a lifetime of bondage.” Aside from remarking that the same law is ﬁoyv,éand has been, in torce in New York and a number of othér Northern States for balf a century, without so much as a murmur of protest from Mr. S. or his party, we do ‘not desire to say one word in vindication of the vote of Mr. Hendricks. The wisdom and propriety of this amendment is quite apparent. The policy has received -the unreserved en . dorsement of hundreds of thousands of all parties in its application to the Northern States. But Mr. Saylor does not stop here. - The stature of the demagogue is only attained by declaring that Mr. Hendricks sought to include all white voters, north and south, in this amendment, who, were not owners of $250 worth of property. The Courzer (Grant organ) says that “it was intended to prevent colored men, who had just been freed,” &c. Comment on this style of political discussion is worse than useless. For genuine political charlatanism, buffoonery and demagoguery, commend us to H. B. Saylor. . e :

_For Sheriff give David Hough your support. He has made an excellcnt ofJicer; he also understands the duties of his office; always obligind,; honest, and popular. Rernew your confidence by an increased majority. : P * “Omly That.” i Several members of the Civil Service Commission are attempting to doctor their report. lln a late circular, referring to the lost revenue spoken of in their re: port, the Inter- Ocean (Grant) says : “Tt (the circular) also shows the total losses by defalcation in the Internal Revenue Bureau since its establishment to be $3,200,000, instead of $20,000,000, as has been charged, of which $BOO,OOO occurred under Lincoln’s administration, and $2,100,000 under Grant's.” 3t - Two millions by defalcation in the Internal Revenue Bureau alone under Grant !

Carpet-Bag Bullock—The Aceomplice ofMorton. ! : A Londop, Canada, correspondent says: Ex Governor Bullock, of Georgia, lives in regal style in one of the finest suburban residences about the city of Lendon, Ontario. His house is furnished magnificent1y ; his stud is of the finest stock, his turnouts unsurpassed, and lie says he has con cluded to make London his residence for the future.

This is the “loyal” radical Governor of - Georgia who sold the State bonds, leased the railroads, pocketed the money, and then rinaway just in time to cscape trial and punishment ' under articles of impeachment, preferred against him by the first Legislature clected after the State passed from the control of carpet baggers to the people. Before he quite gave up all hopes of retaining -control over that biidy, and of manipulating them to vote more bonds and commit other rascalities, he came to Washington for aid and sym‘pathy from the central “directory.” Upon ‘the objects of this errand, we quote from the speech of General Farnsworth, on the 14th ultimo: “He came to Washington, and, under pretense of great anxiety to protect the eolored men, asked ustoreconstruct the State. Ile wanted Congress to turn out that Legislature, call together again all the members: elected snd make ‘everyone take what is known as the.test ‘oath, which we bad provided should be taken by officers of the Federal Government. They had taken the oath prescrib ed by their State -constitution, but if we could make them take the test oath he would exclude a good many membeis and leave-a body that he could handle.” “So. Gen, Farnsworth says the President, in full compliance with the wishes of Gov. Bullock, recommended to Congress, in his message, that they enact a law authorizing the Governor of Georgia to convene the members originally elected to the Legis—latiire, requiring each member to take the -test oath, required by the “Reconstruction Acts,” for Federal officers only. =

It was here that the fact was discovered that Mr. Morton wrote the President’s message. Gen. Farnsworth says that upon inquiring of the President what he meant by that clause in his message, Grant replied: “Well, I really cannot say, ex: “actly, what that means; Morton put that tn.” 'This same Morton, who thus sought to defeat the will of the people of Georgia, and to continue the criminal plundering and robbery of that people, .by this Bul. lock, under the “protection of the Federal arm,” is now, and hag been for months, traversing the State of Indiana, delivering abusive barangues to the people, and dastardly tirades agalost the election, by the people of Indiana, of Thomas A. Hendricks for their Governor. :

HORACE GREELEY AND THE RADI-. o : CALS. ‘ ' Who Are the Disunionists? Horace Greeley,in his Cincinnati speech, said: “I deny that any State has a mor.’ al; legal or constitutional right to dissolve this Union.” He declared that the right of secession was a purely revolutionary one, ' o i Now,although the Indianapolis Journal and Cincinnati Gazelte, papersthat take on so much sgony and assume such ‘serious apprehensions for the safety of the country under Mr. Greeley, if elected, were, carly in the war,strong advocates of secession—the rrght and policy "all through. Not only these, but other leading organs of the party beld the same views. Ana not onlly the organs of the party favored the doctrine, but their leader in the Senate, in 1867, the man whom, by the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, it was sought to place 1 the Presidential chair—sup ported unanimously by the radical party— Bepnjamin F'. Wade, early in 1860, held these words : ]

If they [people of the Southern States] do not feel interested in upholding the Union —if it .really trenches on their rights—if it endangers their institutions to such an extent that they cannot feel se cure undeér it—if their interests are violently assailed by means of the Union, I am not one of those who expect they will long continue under it. -I am not one of those who woild ask them to continue in such a Union. I would be doing violence to the platform of the party to which I belong. We bave adopted the old Declaration of Independence as the basis of our political movements, which declares that any peo ple, when their government ceases to protect their rights—when it is o subverted from the trae purposes of ‘government as to oppress them—have the right to recur to fundamental principles, and, if need be, TO DESTROY THE' GOVERNMENT under which they live, and to erect on its rains another more conducive to their welfare. [ -hold that they have this right. I will not blame any people for exercising it when they thiink the contingency has come. * * * You cannot forcibly hold men in this Uniop, for the attempt to doso, it seems to me, would subvert the first principles of the government wunder which we live.— Cong. Globe, 3d Ses. 34th Cong., p. 35. As Ben Wade is now stumping Ohio for the party whose principles, he asserted, the foregoing represented, will the representatives of the Grant party inform the public whether he lied or not; and if he did not, whether the party holds to those principles today? ¢ 1

Because both sides are courting him for the presidency, and so the truth must not be told, We are, I fear, to try the experimént again that we did with Johnmson ;. that is, nominate a man for supposed availability, without knowing his' principles or fitness.— Grant’s election will be 'a misfortune; because it will put in a man without head or heart, indifferent to human saffering, and impotent to.govern, - lLam, yours, truly;-: - o , BEN.

The Prospect. - ‘We have cheering words forour Lib~ eral and Democratic friends. "T'he most ‘ satisfactory .information comes from every county in the state in regard to the result of the state election, A large majority ‘of the voters of Indiana stand ‘upon the platform of reconciliation and purification, and they know and feel thatthe first step in giving vitality to that platform is to vote for Hendricks and Cravens, for the state, congressional and county candidates who sail under that banner. The Grantites expect. to carry the state by fraud. They have no hope of success by a fair vote. "In these schemes of infamy they must be defeated, and by diligence and watchfulness they will be defeated. Liberals and Democrats of Indiana, but a few days remain until the election, Let not your zeal, your energy, your efforts flag, but continue the good work; see to it that not a triend of reform fails to vote; that not an illegal vote is deposited in the ballot box, and that the votes cast are honestly counted; then we know that the verdict will be a victory that will thrill with joy allover the land, the hearts of all who are striving for the restoration of union and fraternity—of economy, ‘honesty, and purity in the administration of the Government. — Indianapolis Sentinel.

. Do not forget that William H Loomis is charged with having abstracted over seven hundred Democratic tickets from the ballot boxes, at Indianapolis, in 1868, gnd of burning them up in the yard of the county jail. This alone defeated Mr Hendricks and the democratic. ticket that year, aside from the frauds perpetrated in Hamilton, Boone, ‘Wabash, and other counties. Ifthe ballot boxes, tally papers and poll books: had not been tampered with at that time, Mr Hendricks’ majority over Governor Baker would not have fallen: short of five thousand votes.” The will of the people must not 'be defeated again by fraud. Watch the ballot boxes from the opening of the polls till the votes are counted. Keep -a watchful -eye for imported voters,—Evansville Courier. : S eSR e

~ “People of Indiana, I know your generous hearts are withme. I believe your -votes will testify that your hearts are sound and trie’ I believe you can’ not be bought.

The New York Tribune, of Tuesday, contain the following bit of vital advice; ‘Once more we remind our friends in Ohio and Indiana of the importance of giving an energetic support to-the an-ti-Grant state ticket in October. If they blindly adhere to the regular Ad: ministration- nominees in the state eleetion there is grave danger’that the votes which they mean to give Mr Greeley in November may come too: late. If the liberal and democratic union for reform means anything, it ‘must, show itself'in the election of Héndrieks' in Indiana and Wiley in Ohio. - Don’t wait till the eleventh hour before you begin towork.” > - - o d ‘_

G The Spirit of Hate. -While a tanner club was marching along Fifth street in Cincinnati last Saturday; night, and making night hidcous by howling for Grant, a boy 15 years of age, named John (onway, shouted for Greeley as he was standing on the side walk, For this boyish caper, a tanner in his slippery toggery and crimson cap, stepped from the ranks and crushed the boys’skull by a furious blow, so murderous that the boy died goon after, o > ; - Thisis the spirit of the Grantites now arrayed against all who hurrah for or support Greeley. It is the same spirit which would, if allowed to|coutinue and predominateas the basis of govern. ing the south, keep up a hell of conten-tion-and strife, and finally ba? out and ‘make it utterly- impossible to restore the Union to a condition of peace and harmony. - 1> :
