- A GREAT many political sins have been laid at the door of the Southern people, but Morton is the only public man who has ever accused them of ballpt stuffing.

FIrTEEN States havetaken a census of pepulation in 1875; and the. total increase since 1870 is estimated at a little over 2,000,000. As these States had in 1870 somethingmore than onethird of the poﬁulation of the United States, a common ayerage progress throughout would show an.aggregate increase in five years. of upward of 5,000,000, or a total population of 44,000,000, © R

SUNSET Cox has been placed in an unenviable predicamént. = It seems that he wrote a letter to the editor of the Cincinnati Enguirer,' last-June, endorsing the Ohio inflation platform, and subsequently he wrote a letter to ‘the New York ITn'b‘une affirmiung his undeviating adhesion to the sound currency doctrine. As a reward for this double-dealjng, certain papers now dub him slippery Sam. |

IT is stated that during the 12 years Mr. McPherson was . Clerk of the Hotise of Represgentatives he disbursed ovyer $6,000,000.

~ Hox. WILL CUMBACK recently lec. ! tured at Elkhart. During his stay in . that ambitious town, he “was inters viewed by the e,di}m of the ‘Democran(; Dmion, upon " matters pertaining to the eusuing presidential contest.

GOV. HENDRICKS ON THE SCHOOL QUESo In the city of Indianapolis, the centennial year was ushered in by a lively, noisy, boisterous demonstration. On New Year’s day a public meeting was held inthe Academy of Music, Mayor Caven presiding. Among the orators of the day was Gov. Hendricks, who, as the telegraph advises us, addressed the assembly, briefly referring to the progress which ‘the country had made during the past century, the population of which had grown from three millions to forty millions. He: spoke of the emigrant, who' had contributed so largely to these shores, as a person whose enterprise and courage had never been sufficiéntly valued. It: was these features of enterprise, courage and intelligence 'whicl} had given prominence to the character and swept away the.colonial lines until it has made glorious the” Pacific ‘shore, and ‘now American judg[txent governs from coast to coast, jand American ideas and American sentiment predominate in every section. '~ Two ideas were prominently adyanced by the Governor of special importance. = Tirst, that while he would not say tlie ‘American schools surpassed those of - other countries, still the foundation was laid for a system of free schoels which, within a quarter’ of a century, would surpass them all. - The free-school system, he claimed, must be regarded as the foundation of American stability, and the people must consider and treat as a foe any one who will bring the system into controversy with a view of injuring its eﬂ‘lciency. " Second, -since its birth, the country has borne itself proudly and successfully agiinst its enemies, first in the sevéen yézu:sfwar_,; with Washington for its head, when it laid the foundation for a future permanent Government, then in the foreign war, and m,ore'i(ecentl-y_ the’ test of civil war, which is the hardest for any Government to sustain. In all 6f these it came out with all of its institutions preserved and its integrity sustained. . In conclusion, the Gov+ ernor drew an: eloquent picture of the manner in which American se"ntiment was recognized by other Governments, #nd argued that the sentiment which is embraced in the one idea that the Government rests upon the consent of the governed would eventually end -in every man being free. : 2 Y The remarks of our excellent Gov-" ernor on this occasion-appear to us peculiarly appropriate and well chosen.

THE Ft. Wayne Sentinel, after wishing all of its patrons and friends and. readers a happy New Yead, goes still farther, and. “in the magnanimity of ‘its. heart” and ‘the. abundance of its prosperity” wishes all of its enemies the sante. It then refers- briefly to the readers of its several contemporaries of that city and even hopes that they, too, may enjoy:the new year; that the editors of those wicked 'sheets may also find-in the year just opened a season of contentment and happiness; that their dormant ‘consciences may be awakened, their good: impulses (if they have any) strengthened. and their perverse natures regenerated. The unbounded generosity of the Sentinel then constrains it to open its great heart and take in the whple world with its charitable wishes. ~lt concludes with this bit of i spiration® “May the gamblers see the folly of their ways, throw away their toofls and become reporters .or 'mini's‘‘ters, or something of that kind. May everybody make money and ‘spend it. ‘May we all recall the glorious deeds -of one hundred years ago and resolve. ‘ that we, too, will shed our-life-blood in the cause of liberty—if there is no way of getting out of it. May all our good resolutions be kept—twenty-four hours, at least. May we all be able to pay our debts during the year, and the imembers of the I. 0. U. Association All their -pockets with receipted accounts. May all of -the babies born during the year be good-looking ones, ! and all of us who die perish" with our 'boots on, and thus beat the coroner. ; May the star-spangled banner con‘tinue to float proudly from the top of ‘the notion sfores, and the ‘sheap clodiing’ houses keep on' ‘giving away -goods” In short, may every fellah ‘have his dearest wighes gratified, and ‘ everything remain Yovely, with the l domestic: fowl suspended at its- loftiest altitude.” TN

~7CHuicAco is now' attracting attention on aceount of the recent raid up= on “crooked whisky” thieves of that city. On ‘Wednesday of last week a concerted movement was made by ‘Supervisor Matthews ~and” Collector Webster, under insti'uctiOlis from Secretary Bristow, and the result of the day’s work was the Seizure of four distilleries and an equal number of rectifying establishments. The raid was planneéd with absolute secrecy and executed with entire success, the pfoprietors of the varjous establishments being taken by surprise in each case, so.that the government officials were enabled to obtain possession of all'books. and papers. _So far as we have been able to learn, the acts of seizure are based partly upon doecumentary proofs which had -béen for some time in possession of the revenue "authof'ities,-.and ‘partly upon oral evidencd presumably of recent developmeng. The distilleries seized upen this occasion aggregate a daily capacity of‘upward of 14,000 gallons of spirits, |\ B o

' He recovered, however, but was never. able to return to service, The nature of his wound, a shot through the lungs, is the physical cause of his presentgability to make j a speech of any length.” Speaking of this, the Graivfo,tdtw'ﬂle Journal i ir- l reverent enough t& exclaim, “What a 1 blessing to the country it would be if | more of -our Congressmen and other Mogtloom? 0 - ok

BLAINE'S RELIGIOUS ANTECEDENTS, ~ Quite a number of Republicans hereabouts have expressed an anxiety to know. something definite in regard to the religious proclivities of ex-Speaker Blaine.: It is a little strange that in a government like ours, where the religious sentiments of a man are neyer inquired for as-a qualification of citizenship, that so much interest should bé manifested just now in the case of Mr. Blaine.. He has:.been pronounced a Presbyterian of the strictest sect, by birth, and it has also been strongly hinted that he was brought up a Roman Catholic and has Catholic proclivities. No ‘doubt President. Grant would like to see the latter vers sion widely disseminated, inasmuch as he has come out as- the American (ladstone and national champion of Protestantism. The Rochestef Union professes to give the “true story” about Blaines religious tendencies, ‘which, for the benéfit of all interested, we publish. The statément}j is as follows:: . s <

’Squire Blaine, as he was balled, the father of.ex-Speaker James Gillespie Blaine, was a resident of Fayette ‘county, Pennsylvania. He was not a Catholic, but married a Miss Gillespie, a member of an old Cath?lic family, -who were once wealthy, but who, meeting with® reverses,7 emjgrated ‘west, some in -Texas’ and others in southern Illinois. ’Squire Blaine became a convert to the religious faith of his wife, and lived and died a firm believer in it. - He had five sons and two daughters — James, Ephraim, Neil, Robert and John, and Mary and Eliza, and all were brought up strict and practical Catholics. |Neil is dead, Ephraim was last heardf from in the southwest—Texas or Mexico; Robert is a clérk in one of ithe depdartments at ‘Washington; John i’s, or was, an agent of the postuﬁ!ce;- department; Mary is dead, and Eliza is the wife of Robert C. Walker, a paymaster in the army. . Walker was not a Catholic when he married Miss Blaine, but she converted him, and the whole family are Catholic. Two of the daughters became nuns. One is dead and the other is somewhere in western Pennsylvania, near Pittsburg. Rev.N. S. -Gillespie, : a'professor in Notre Dame University, St. Joseph/county, Ind., is a cousin of ex-Syeaker Blaine; so also is Mother Angela, the authoress of the Metropolitan Readers—a series of -Catholice school 'books, James Gillespie, or “Jim” Blaine, as the ex-Speaker is irreverently called, was born on the last day of January, 1830. He emigrated from the fawmily home in ‘western: Pennsylvania” shiortly after attaining his majority and graduating at 'Washington College, Pa., and took up his‘residence in Maine, where his religion ‘was not popular and he changed it; entered politics; took an editorial chair at Portland, and;then at Kennebec: was in the Legislature from 1859 to 1862—the last two years Speaker;. and has since been in Congress. * e W :

. Notwithstanding the above statement purporis to be from “one who knows,” a Columbus, 0., correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer gives a somewhat contradictory statement and vouches for the truthfulness: thereof. .Ie says: ' " “James G. Blaine wasthe fifth child of Ephraim Lyon Blaine. 'There are now only three brothers living, John, James G., and | Robert. But ' one daughter, Mrs. Walker. Ephraim L. Blaine, father of James G. Blaine, did not live and die a Catholic. Ile was raised a Presbyterian, and never attached himself to any other church. He did not live in Fayette eounty, but in. Washington county, (was born 'in Carlisle, Cumberland county.) At the. time James G. Blaine was being educated at Washington (Penn.) College, where he graduated at the early age of eighteen years, his father was Prothonotary of Washington county, but resided in Washington, James G. boarding at home. Mr. Blaine, after graduating at- College, went West (he had probably seen Horace Greeley) and settled in Kentucky as a Professor in~the Kentucky Military Institute. While there he met the estimable lady who is now Mrs. James G. Blaine, she being a teacher in a Ladies’ Seminary at the time. She was a native of Maine. After atime they went down East, to Augusta, the home of Mrs. Blaine. = M, Blaine did not' change his religion, as he always was a Protestant, and therefore had no cause to change, as tlie writer charges. Mr. Blaine and the writer are of opposite politics.. I write of my own accord, to correct the falsifications of “One Who Knows,” as they are nearly all false and are written with the evident intention of misleading the public in regard to the Hon. J. G. Blai}xe.” 5 ‘ . | y [3 T. s

"THE WASHINGTON correspondent of: the Cincinnati Enquirer writes under date of January 2: “There is a strong but quiet movement on foot here to push Senator Thurman for the Presidential nomination. It is engineered mainly by leading ex-Confederate Senators and Representatives, prominent among whom are Cockrell, of Missouri; Gordon and Lamar, together with several of the most influential supporters of Mr. Kerr in the contest for the Speakership who were not in the Tilden programme, This moveément is rapidly _!gaining ground, and bids fair to result in bringing up a nearly solid support for Thurman-:from the Southern States to;the National Convention of the Democracy, unless the influences at work here are counteracted by the friends of Mr. Pendleton and Mr. Hendricks elsewhere. It is noteworthy that Tilden seems to be losing ground rapidly in the South and afnon#; the Southern men here.” "Fhisbit orf information aought t¢cqn4 vince thel Enquirer folks that as destroyers of presidential aspirants they are not a success. ¢ .

‘PeRAAPs it all arises from jealousy, but outside of Indiana there seems to be no.one/who regar% the nomination of Messrs. Hendricks and Morton for the Presidency as anything but a joke. In all estimates of tlie prospect of candidates, both:of these.statesmen are ignored entirely.—New York T7ibune. g : : ;

-The Cincinnati Enquirer disposes of this flippant pardgraph by saying: “This is as near as the New York Tribune ever comes to being right. The candidacy of both Morton and Hen_dﬂicks is serious. Mr. Morton has grown formidable since his Indianapolis qrga{‘x declared for the repeal of the Resumption act,and now that Mr. Hendrici{: has arrayed himself on the side of the public schools it is doubtful Whetﬁxer he can be beaten.” -

' ROME CITY ITEMS. | Now comes pp a rumor that J. C. Geisendorft, Esg., of Indianapolis, has made an assignment for the benefit of his creditors. © We are truly SOITy to hear such report and still hope it may prove untrue. Mr. G. is alive and energetic business man, and such.a failure would be nothing less than a commercial calamity, and we fear that the same would be a drawback on Rome City, where Mr. G. has a large amqunt -of property ur_nder his control. For the present, at least, we will take the advice of the old poem, v *Not believe each tattling tongue, | . ,As some weak people do; ‘ g But ever hope the story wrong, | ; .

In the most primitive days it was recognized as a truth that in order to do business a merchant must be known. The first efforts consisted in selecting a store in a public thoroughfare and putting up an attractive sign. These methods were effective only in attracting the attention of ‘passers-by. With the growth of journalism a merchant was for the first time enabled to address an audience not .only in his own vicinity, but at all points from which trade could be attracted; so that a card in a newspaper became the most effective salesman, who said precisely the right thing. in the best manner, and whose activity could not be measured. ‘A card, in the newspaper of to-day is & missionary a year hence, |

= .. POLITICAL NOTES. . The Inter-Ocean has “gone back” on its Bristow charges, pleading the “lateness of the hour” at which they ‘were recerved, thus preventing an ex-atmination,-as an excuse for the publication. : ,

‘ The charges made against Bristow through the Imter-Ocean have been refuted by the very gentlemen who were cited in its article against him: as having knowledge of his guilt. Babcock must try again. ; Efforts are being made to have the National Republican . Committee, which-meets in Washington in a few; days, name Cleveland as. the place of holding the Republican Convention. The argument used is that it would help to influence the vote of Ohio, which holds the first State election in the Presidential canvass. ¢ :

The Republican State Convention is to be held on the 22nd of February inext. An effort is now being made. to prevent the nomination of the ticket at that time. . Radical papers think ‘it would be well enough ‘to appoint delegates to the national convention, but urge’ the convention to adjourn without making nominations for State officers.—Columbus Democrat. E. T. Keightly,.of Marion county, a membetr of the last Legislature, is said to be a candidate for Auditor of State before the Democratic Conven‘tion. Hon. E. T. K. is altogethet. too modest, and we fear his political aspirations won’t be gratified, this-time, ‘anyhow. It is generally conceded that the present State officers will be renominated, and, of course, re-elected. They have justly -earned : another term.—M¢. Vernon Democral. An article in the XKokomo Tribune advocates the postponement of the Republican State Convention, set for the 22nd proximo, for the following reasons: i That beginning. so early, ‘will make the campaign unnecessarily long; that it i 8 unwise to draft and proclaim a platform in advance of the deliverances of the national convention; that it would be more prudent to await the action of Congress and the lapse of time, which may change the political situation materially after the 22nd of February. The Indianapolis Journal apparently indorses the position of the 7'7ibune. Gen. Ben. Harrison, of Indianapolis, is being urged for the Presidency, because he is.a grand-son of old '\Erippecanoe., ‘There is a ‘man in Ft. Wayne who married the grand-niece of Martin Van Buren’s brother-in-law, and yet his claims have not been referred to. Ben. Harrison, of Indianapolis, is a clever gentleman and a' good lawyer, Dbut fewer people outside theState know of his existence than did of James K. Polk, when he was unearthed from obscurity and put before the people. for the Presidency. Ben. Harrison can’t. travel to the White House oen the strength of his grandpa.— Ft. Wayne Sentinel. . ; ‘

Since the withdrawal of Messrs. Pratt and Harrison, it looks.as-though Lieut. Gov. Leonidags Sexton, of Rushville, would have a clepl*‘ field: for the republican g,uberﬁator;al nomination. - Gov. Sexton is a man of parts and ability, who made an excellent presiding officer in the Senate, and who has hosts of warm friends in both parties, all through the State. He is affable and courteous, yet dignified and polished, and is nq doubt thé strongest and most available candidate whom the Republicans' cquld nominate. If we areto have a Republican for Governor we would much prefer Gov. Sexton :to any one that has been named.—Ft. Wayne Sentinel.

Things are getting interesting at Indianapolis. © The Sentinel, on Monday,Dec.27,in a double-leaded editorial, formally nominated Thomas A. Hendricks forthe Presidency, and claimed (what is generally acknowledged) that, that gentleman will receive the nomi-: nation. In yesterday’s issue the Jour-: nal of that city announces that it is! for Morton, first, last and all the time, and itis safe to say that this bold avowal did not create any great sensation’in the public mind. The ball is now fairly opened, and while Hendrieks is acknowledged by all sagacious politicians to have the: inside track for the democratic nomination, Morton’s ‘chances for the republican nomination ean be considered second only to Grant’s.—Ff. Wayne Sentinel.

Some former owner shortened the barrel of the drum about omne third of its length. ‘The British coat of arms is painted on theoutside, but in shortening it the unicorn was cut off, and part of the legend, leaving only “Dieu Mqgn.” A very singular case of crime occurred at Warsaw the other; week. A man by the name of J. F. Burnett forged, and sold a note purporting to. be drawn by three responsible men'in the community. The purchaser, after buying it, became suspicious it was not all right, and went to Burnett and told him so. Burnett insisted it was right and proposed to go with: him' to the purported drawers of the note to see, and actually did |go.. He now rests in jail.

Much excitement prevails over the secession of part:of the members from the Lutheran Church, of Michigan City, growing out of an attempt to oust,the minister, who, supported by his clients, refused to step down and out, but proposes tofight it to the. end. The women of the rebellious party have taken forcible possession by bursting the door open with an axe, putting the guard to flight, and armed with clubs, axes, etec., bid defiance to all assailants. General knoekdowns are the order. No arrests have been made as yet, but much trouble is anticipated. .

His popularity has increased since last year, when he had only 993 callaiz o ooy i : The population of the TUnited States is put down at 44,000,000—the estimate being °based on the census taken in 15 States in 1875. _ Diebold, Norris & Co., manufactarers of iron safes at Canton, 0., have made an assignment.

President is decidedly opposed to the | proposed reduction of the army, and* has expreéssed his purpose of vetoing the measure ifit passes. : The Centennial year was ushered in with general rejoicing in all the cities of the East and West, the features of the demonstrations everywhere being the ringing of bells, firing of cannon, music and ‘illuminations. -

It is rumored that Pere Hyacinthe has decided to renounce the Catholicism entirely and assume the pastorate of a Protestant church at Boston. His marital experience, short as it is, it seems, has given him a clearer and more vigorous insight into spiritual things. A bl

- Frank Moulton, .whose indignant protestiagainst the entering of a nolle _pros. in the libel cause will be remembered, and who vainly pleaded for the | privil%ge of offering a defense to the indictment procured at the instance .of the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, has qmade good his promise to be heard from again, having brought suit against Mr. Beecher for malicious prosecution, laying damages at $50,000. As the issue in this action involves the question of the truth or falsity of Mr, Moulton’s published _statements concerning the guilt of Mr. Beecher, the great scandal case must be sifted once more, with a probability: that the sifting process will be more thorough than ever before.

~ During a Sunday school gathering in St, Mary’s Catholic Church in Boston Sunday, some of the drapery about the statues of the Virgin Mary took fire. . Some of the children raised the cery of fire and a panic seizing them, they rushed for the doer to escape. The teachers promptly closed the doors and the burning drapery having been torn from the statue, the fire was extinguished, and the children resumed their exercises. Meantime, the alarm of fire in the basement reached the congregation worshiping above, and with one accord the people rushed to the two narrow doors which open in- | to the porch. These were choked up in an instant, as were also the narrow’ stairways leading from the galleries. Many persons in the galleriés leaped from the windows to the ground; many women fainted, and it was not until a greater portion of the congregation had escaped into the street that the cause of the panic was ascertained and quiet restored.. There was no loss 'of life, but there were several w“ﬂﬂﬂgl s e S

‘A Queer Somnambulistic Adventure. . (From the Elkhart Union.) e An account is given of another night-walKing freak of young Tonmr Mendenhall, of Van Buren, LaGrange (0., Ind., which eclipses his climbing: the scaffolding. of the tall chimney here at the railroad machine shop. On Tuesday night, 31st ultimo, after going up stairs to bed at his home in Van Buren, his mother locked -the chamber door as usual, so that if he got up in his sleep he could not get down to stroll off. It appears that he went to a window and by raising it was enabled to get down onh to the porch and from that to the ground in the yard, and then scaled the picket fence hnd started on a tramp for Michigan. | e When he left home all 'the clothing he had on was a very short under-. shirt, and thus barefooted during the rainstorm that night he wended his way through the mud about three miles and a half into the “Burger séttlement,” in the southeast corner of White Pigeon township, in Michigas. There it appears he was set upon by, some dogs and one Andrew Potter being awakened by the barking of the dogs went out to see what was the matter and .thus' discovered young Mendenhall npearly chilled to death and scarcely able to move. He was taken in and some clothing provided, | and after being thawed out was taken home. It is said that although undergoing suech serious exposure,he never even topk cold nor is he any the worse for it. It was about three o’clock in the morning when he was discovered by Potter. = . -
