' Wg regret to learn -that the demoeratic cauens commiittee has failed to : ;gﬁeﬁe upon a financial measure which : nﬁght be supported by moderate men of all shades of opinion.

- It s sTATED that Conkling /is seriously annoyed by the hostile movements of his republican enemies in New York, wholare setting things up for ex-Senator E. D. Morgan as a presidential candidate. The Conkling faction is ‘p‘reparing to squelch the insurrection- by holding the State convention mruch earlier than usual, and by trying Ifto procure Mr.' Morgan’s appointment to the su‘ccessorshiﬁ of Gen. Schenck as Minister Plenipotentiary to England.- K _

°~ _lr the Elkhart Observer had gone to the trouble of looking the matter up, _instead of rquing upon-the statement " of a paper that takes special delight (in lying abput us, it ‘would have obi served that ‘it was ‘ot THE BANNER th'&t “argued fgainst Mr. Ke]‘ley as a suitable candidate for the next cam_paign,” but that isuché was done by an Avilla correspondent who mildly reproved THE BANNER for intimating “that Mr.. Kelley would " probably be ‘tendered the democratic nomination for Congress, this year, in consideration of the splendid race made by him in 1874.0 Will the Observer have the kindness to replges'én_t us correctly ?

THAT TALK abeut Horatio Sey- , mour being a candidateé for the Presi‘dency is thus disposed of by that gentleman’s home organ, the Utica (N.

Seymour is not a can- _ didate for the Presidency; that under ' no circumstances would he accept.a ‘nomination; thatif the oflice of Presi- - dent be tendered him to-morrow, without the trouble of an election, he - would peremptorily decline.” This ‘ought to Le emphatic enough to satisfy -ail reasonabie demands. .

. CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES; THE BANNER has on more than one oceasion urged.the pressing necessity of reducing the enormous expenses of the government. We have repeatedly shown that millions might annually be saved if Congress could only be induced to apply the pruning knife and cut off the useless expenditurés that operate so largely .against 'a commensurate reduction of the national debt. - It is a source of much satisfaction to learn‘that the Democrats in Congfess‘ have taken this matter in charge and are determinedly pushing the noble work of retrenchment. Despite the factious and disereditable opposition. of Rép"ublic‘ans. the-demo-cratic;majority of the House is likely to suéceer] in redeeming -their pledge to reduce the ordinary annual expend‘itlires_?,t;p the extent -of $40,000,000. Among ti})e reductions are $6,000,000 on the riverand harbér bill, $5,000,000 on public buildings, $3,000,000 on fortifications, 5,000,000 on '!egiS)ziti\fe, executive and judicial bill, .5.‘1,009,!%‘50' on the expenses of collecting the internal réyenue. It has Leen’agreed in committee ‘to reduce the revenue collectors from 161 to 105, making a saving of $220,000. The ten supervi-sors-¢f revenues are to be lopped off, making a saving of $136,000. DBesides this'a saving of $250,000 is to be made in. reducing the number of gaugers, storekeepers, tide-waiters and agents, a ifurther saving «;ff $250,000. In ’sta\pps, gmper{e,tp., there is anotlier saving =of * $50,000. In this horean alone tlie reduction will amonut to $1,056,000. A shriek has gone up that these reduetions . of government® cmployees will eripple the public service, But the meaning of this cry is well understood. The "Democrats will tuke care that the public service is benefited instexd of injured by cutting l downrextravagant ‘expenditures and [ lopping off surperfluous oflices which are . created merely fur'pvzu'ty retainlers. The work goesa bravely on.. So | mote it be. - .

WHY THENAVY IS SQ'EXPENSIVE. © Weanotice among_thévduings of Congress that Commander Murray, of the havy, has been giving some valuable testimony before the House committee on-mnaval affairs, in regard to the great abuses that are practiced m the 'presenba_fdminist-ra_ti,on of the navy yards. The legislation of the last filteen years has -been directed to malking the navy yards .immense political machines. They are conducted for the promotion of -partisan ends rather than in the interest of the service. Previous to elections vessels are put up for repairs, and the yards are crowded with hands, but after' the elections the vessels that have been repaired.at great exp'eilse are permitted to lie at the docks and rot. ComCommander ~Murray - thinks the system L of employing éivilians as wa,tch}fmen should be‘ab‘olis'hed and marines detailed to perform the service: - That would be putting the marines to some good use. " Abolishing the private watchmen and firemen would result in a saving of $1,000,000 -annually to the government, while their duties could be ‘as effectudily p'erf\ormedr by men beloilging to the ‘navy. The committée of the House will take into consideration the suggestions made by Commander Murray. There is no doubt that there will be much opposition to a reform in the navyuyé‘gds on the part_of politicians who profit by the abuses) which are ‘maintained in them. But the work i whi‘ch‘lms’b'een s 0 auspiciously begun ‘in the House will not be arrested on -that account, we trust and believe.

GOV, HENDRICKS AT NEW ORLEANS, Gov. Hendricks last Saturday delivered an interesting- and éloquent speech before the Southern Industrial ‘Expositionin the city of New Orleans. - lle dwelt upon agricultuTe, mechanical art, and industrial inter-, ests; he ,trucgd\the march of ciyilization "and.extolled the plaee occupied therein. by the cotton-gin; he advised the Southerners to turn .their attention to manufacturing; he told them of the advantages of water-power as utilized in New England, and advised an imitation in the South of this policy; he related how he h_'ad' seen the _hielting SNOwW frbm_the mountains "in Utah turned to. advantage by patient Mormon labor; he predicted a."é}glorif ous ‘industrial future for the Sputh; he dwq_élt long upon the close bond .of union between the gin-house and su-gar-house at the South and the corncrib aad the shop at the North,—all of which was couched in language that must bave thrilled his audience. We quote the following from the Governor’s address: ' |

Increase of production and improve-, ment in quality are your objects, and | the increased production of your sta-| ples will add to ‘'our exports and diminish, imports. - Every:bale of cotton and hogshead of tobaceo.laid npon the wharves of Liverpool and Havre add to our supply of gold, for they command the gold at once; and every. pound -of rice and sugar and every gallon of molasses produced here in the State of Louisiana saves us from: dmporting so much, and thus retains the gold in the country. -Now, your Exposition is particularly meant to bring about increased production of these staples, cotton, rice, sugar, and tobacco. - It contemplates ‘improved implements; the adoption of -the best ‘means. to strengthen ‘and stimulate your lands; the establishment of harmony between capital and labor, and the bringing of a‘larger area under the -plow.'| It 18 surely not absurd to think that you may inerease the production of your staples’ by, say, 20 per cent. 'lf so, and if you annually add fifty million dollars to our supply of gold; and if a rigid economy be introduced and observed, so as to reduce our national expenditures forty or fifty millions, our:financial questions will be solved. - = "Sy

THE INDBIANA DEHQCRACY. | @fiicialiCall for the State Cenven£l T AR g There will be a delegate convention held at the city -of Indianapolis on Wednesday, April'-19th, 1876, for the nomination of a State ticket and the transaction of businessincident thereto. The ratio of representation in the convention will be one vote for every one hundred votes castin the various counties for Governor Thomas Al Hendricks at’ the election in-1872, and one additional vote for every fraction of fifty voters and ovef. ;

The committee invites the co-opera-tion and supportof all voters who desire.a return to Sy - 1. Correct constitutional principles in;the administration of public affairs, be they either national, state, or Toal.; = : = 2. The most frugal and rigid economy in all departments of the government.

The basis of representation is the vote of Hendricks in 1872, one to every hundred votes and one to- the fraction of a hundred if fifty or over. This gives the several é()l_{nties composing the Thirteenth Congressional District the following. number of votes: DeKalb 19, Elkhart 20, LaGrange 10, Kosciusko 22, Marshall 23, Noble = 23, Steuben 10. The total number of delegates ixt the State will be 1899. Necessary to a choice, 950.

. TroueG the Republican National Committee designated the city of Cincinnati as the place for holding the. republican national conventiox‘f, there is still a slight chance that a change may ocecur in’ the progmmmg.‘ The reasons for this are stated in a Washington tetegram, which is td the effect that Cincinnati hotel keepers have sold out their rooms: to speculators, ‘wlio are going to charge exorbitant rates, Persons who bhave seut on for rooms at the regular ratés have received word that they eannot be had at less than $lO or $l5 a day. A f)arty' off four newspaper men engaged rooms of the proprietor of ‘the Gibson house when he was at Washington at the time the _committee meeting *wis held, he giving thema promise that they should be charged 1o more than $5 per day. The other day they received word that there was such an extraordinary- demand for rooms that the eontract would haye to be dissolved unless they eonsented to pay $lO dday.

- ACAPITAL SUGGESTION. - ACAPITAL SUGGESTION. CAPTAIN MITCHELL FOR GOV- ‘ : ERNOR. & o 5»1 His Popuiarity and Fitness for the | Irosition. S .. (From the Elktart Democratic Union.) * ‘ . Mn. Eplror:—Northern Indiana is entitled to a candidate on the State Demoeratic - ticket. This being the case we propose to bring forward the name of one of the best men in the State for the first place on the ticket. That man is Capt..J. A. S. Mitchell, of Goshen. In presenting the name of Mr. Mitchell for the very honorable and responsible positien of Governor of a State like ours, we do it with vride, knowing full well that Capt. Mitchell has the ability, honor and personal popularity to make one of the best Governors Indiana ever had. Mr. Mitchell is a man of miarked ability as. a lawyer, and to-day stands at the'hedd of the profession in the State. Ile ’‘served in the army as @ captain of cavalry, is well known, and has a host of tviends all over the ‘State, and with the Gérmans is, if anything, mole popular than Mr. Orth. * Mr. Mitehell is’}a gentleman, and is deservedly prpulay amcng the people. Ilis life bas been- such that no man can . truthfully say aught against his character, and if nominated would receive more votes than any other man on the ticket. Give us Mitehell for Governor, and viectovy igours.. i - ProBoONO. The 'Union thus editorially comments on the above suggesgtion: . . “The name of Capt. Mitchell is presented by a warin friend of his here in the city, as a proper candidate for Governor of theé Hoosier State, =As to his qualifieations for that honoraule position there is no question; and if nominated there is the ‘strongest as- - surance that he would be able to bury Godlove so deep that even Mr. Shuey would be puzzled to raise him.” ;

THE BABCOCK SUIT. HE IS DECLARED NOT GUILTY. The Scene in Court--Con_',-raful(l'tionq of o Friends--The - Crowd Pleased; St. Louis, February 24. — Judge. Dillon {inished reading his charge and the jury retired at a-few minutes past one. At twenty-five minutes past three, the jury in the Babecock case ‘sent word that they had found =z verdict and ‘they were immediately ushered into court. On taking their seats, the foreman handed the verdict to the clerk, who read it as follows: “The jury finds the defendant not guilty.” Some demonstration” in favor of the defendant was made, but it was quickly stoppéd. . There was a general handshaking, however, and General Babcock crossed over to the jury and most heartily and feelingly shook the hands of each juryman and thanked them kindly for their verdict. ‘The General and'‘his. friends then left the court and started for their hotel. On reaching the street the party was heartily cheered by a great crowd congregated in frent of the custom house, and almost everybody seemed well pleased at the result. ~After the verdict was: rendered, Judge Dillon announced that the special term ot the Circuit Caurt convened to hear these cases would be adjourned Saturday morning. i

- AN OVATION. _ \ Gen. Babcock has received what can almost be called an ovation since his acquittal. ITis rooms at the Lindell House were crowded with callers for several hours after his discharge by the court, some of the most prominent citizens being among these who dropped in and offered their congratulations on the result of the triali Among thosd present were Gen. Sherman, Gen. Harney, Judge Treat, Col. TLateh, of MeKee's counsel, Postmaster TFilley, a number of ex-Federal officers, the jury, and most of the army-officers here, or stationed hereabout. ‘At nine o’clock this evening the officers at the arsenal, iccompanied by the arsenal band, called at the hoitél and gave the' General a serenade. ‘Col. Hatch made & brief speech in response, in . which ‘he congratulated Gen. Babecock on’ the result of the trial. Ile stated that the verdict was another evidence of the closing of the gap between the North and the South and the restoration of peace and fraternal feeling, and ealléd on the -band to - play * Dixie,” which. was done. Gen. Babeock was then loudly called for, and responded in about the fols lowing words: - i e ' GENTLEMEN OF ST. Louts: I thank you for all your expressions of kindness toward me. My heart is too full for me to make a speech to you tonight, even could I .do so under other circumstancés. I must thank-you all most deeply. ; : : . He then introduced Mr. Storrs, who ‘made a few remarks to the effect that they had never believed Gen. Babcock could not have a fair, impartial trial in Missouri. They had never éncouraged the idea that the so-called rebel influence would operate against them ‘here. In fact some of the most friendly and sympathetic letters received by Gen, Babeock since his indictment have come from the South and ,from ex-Confederates. - They always believed they had a strong case, and the result had proved their ‘opinion was right. Judge Chester H. Krum was then called out, and after stating that lie was proud to :say that a Missouri jury could try an important case and give a just verdict, hereterred in a few words .to the great value of a pure personal character. and unblemished integrity. It was better, he said, than anything else a man could have in this world, and would serve him above all t.hing?a_in a time of trouble. Shortly aftexr this another band appeared at the hotel and serenaded tlie General, but no more speeches were made. About eleven o’clock Chas. H.

A tornado at Princeton, Gibgon county, Ind., last Sunday night, blew down or badly damaged about fifty houses, one or two of which were burned. Eight or ten people were injured, two, it is .thought, fatally: Much damage was done'in the country adjacent. 1 v, s : The Cincinnati Commercial’s special places the number of houses blown down in the tornado at Princeton at thirty-nine. The storm struck -the southwestern' part of the town and lasted but one minute, badly damaging the fine public school building, and demolishing the new church of the Covenanters. It uprooted trees and blew downhouses.’ A large number of persous were injured, one or two fatally. A litflechild was blown from its bed into a garden.: Another was blown one hundred yards and found on the railroad track. A number of horses were killed. . °

Additiopal particulars from Patoka, a station a few Iniles north. ot" Princeton, says many hail stones were . found there measuring oversix inches in circumference, some nearly eight. A correspondent says further reports from Princeton ‘state that eight persons were dangerously injured, four of whom are not expected to recaver. One woman lost her eyesight. Over fitty houses were demolished, and about fifty more badly damaged. The tornado was most severe from the north: side of the public square to the southern limits of the town. In the track of the storme it is impo3sible to distinguish the streets or fermer location ot residences, everything being prostrate and spread over the ground. Several persons were buried under the wrecki of their: dwellings, and taken out unharmed on Monday. One family found themselves walkisg on the ceiling of their rooms, the house having been inverted,” yet they escaped unharmed, while those who attempted to escape were injured..

B 0 ANOTHER ACCOUNT. * EVANSvVILLE, IND, February 28.—. The town of Princeton, twenty-eight miles north of this'city, was Smitten witha hurricanelast night at 7 o'clock, causing great destruetion of property and injuring many persous.. The storm traveled in a northeasterly direction, passing diagonally over the town, and thence through the county. The storm lasted only a few minutes, but destroyed property variously estimated at from $lOO,OOO to $150,000, though it is impossible as yet to.make, any accurate calculation of damage. Numerous farms with their buildings throughout the county have also been destroyed, so that the whole loss in the county will be-nearly a quarter of a nyillion. L rat :

Some fifty ‘or more dwellings are either -wholly or nearly destroyed. Prominent among them. are the new public sehool building, which has lost its/cupola and the. greater part of its roof, a grist mill and -furniture facto--Iy, both completely wrecked ; Blair’s chureh destroyed, and several others badly.injured. : e e The amount of personal injury is wounderfully small, no person having been. -killed, and only two ar three cases where the injuries are likely to prove fatal. The following are the injured: Mrs. Wm. Clark, seriously if not fatally; James S. Taylor, injured internally; Mrs. Robert Turner, one eye lost; Miss Kendle, one limb broken; Susan Blanchiard, "hip-boue injured. s L In some places the houses: were swept entirely away and carried.one hundred yards from their foundations. In one instance a horse was discovered.in a cellar whither he must® have been carzied from a stable fifty yards away.. e 1% James Leslie, an .c¢ld man who is a full cousin of Andrew Jackson, was sleeping in his bed in the second story of hisilarge brick residence, when'the wind struck the house and tore out the end, carrying him, together with his bed, out into the road, and with-out-injuring him in the least. . The vagant lotsin the_town in some places are covered with lath and shingles, which are forced into the ground to the depth of four or five inches. ! The family of Mr. Jasper Jennings, composed of ten persons, made a most mir,aculgn‘gs escape.. The feundation of the firSt story of the house. was, blown out from under it, and the second story and rgof fell down, and wag almost flattened. The family were all crowded together in a place three feet high, and from thence were only rescued by the' assistance of those wlio had escaped. ] - After the wind .subsided, immense quantities of hail fell; ranging in size from a walnutto a hen’s egg. The town to-day ‘presents a most pitiable appearance. The destruetion of property has fallen upon those who are illy able to bear it. *To add to the terror of the scene, two houses which were blown down took fire and were consumed. 4

A TERRIFIC TORNADO AND RAIKSTORM AT .o ST..CHARLES, MISSGURI. . Nearly Every Prominent Building in the Village Damaged. St. LLouls, February 27.—A terrific storm passed over the town of St. Charles, Mo., this afternoon, striking the northern part of the ecity, and traveling in a southerndirection down Main and Second. streets, sweeping everything: in its way. The storm only lasted about ﬁve minutes, and presentéd the appearance of a huge, rolling - yellow cloud. The woolen factory apd sawmill'in the upper part of the qit‘}(‘\vet'e wvery badly damaged. Kramer’s warehouse is a total ‘wreck, and his flouring-mill is badly injured; also Klinger’s miil. The steeple and part‘of the roof of the German Methodist church were blown -off.

_ Hurrieane in Kentueky. A very lively little zephyr passed through a part of , Taylor county, Kentucky, tast Sunday, which 'did anineredible amount of damage to property, and killing and wounding more than -20 persons:. The track of the tornade varied from one hundred yards to a quarter 6f a mile wide, extending a distance of some 15 or 20 miles; but the scene of the greatest destruction was not.more than seven or eight miles in length. The tornada made a clean syeep of everything in its track—timber, fenceg, farm buildings, all were reduced to a total ‘wreck. : A great many=narrow es,capes are narrated, but many were not 'so fortunate and were crushed by the falling buildings and otherwise killed or wounded.

~ BABCOCK’S ACQUITTAL. | : COMMENTS OF THE PRE'SS. 1 “The verdict of acquittal in C#z] Babceock’s case, which was broughtiin by the jury after only two hours’ consultation, can scarcely have §'urpiis€‘d any one who has kept close track of the testimony. It would be difiicult for any candid man who has read the proceedings from day to day to say, if he bad been on the jury, he- wouald under. oath have held that the evidence established” Babe: ck’s - guilty connectioniwith the whisky eonspiracy. It'is possible that the same sus-’ picion may have been ereated that originally led the grand jury to indict hitu, but it has- been the general eon‘viction of thinking men,ever since the prosecution ‘closed its case, that the suspicious circumstances were, not sufficiently strengthened by the evidence produced to- warrant a verdict of guilty.: In considering it, it must be kept in mind that the existence of a conspiracy was not denied by -the ‘defence, and that the only question for the jury. to consider was whether Col. Babcock was implicated. /This was elearly pointed out by Judge Dillon in - his charge, the effect .of which was unquestionably favorgble to the defendant. The court instructed that there: was no direct evidence implicating the defendant; that he might be convicted by cir.cgmstantial evidence, but that suchi. evidence should be examined with great icaution; and, ﬁxlalﬂy, that it was equally ‘the duty of the jury to protect the citizens of the United States from } suffering on aecount of mere suspipicion as well-as to-protect the government. It did not require long for the jury to determine that there was not suflicient evidenceito convict.— - Chicago Tribune, 3 '

From the Springfleld.i Republican (Ind.)—Gen. Babcock goes out of the St.-Louis eourt house 4 more suspected and eondemnéd man that he went into-it:’ e does not longer déserve the confidence of the President; he’ has neither that nor the respect of the Ammerican people. It, under the cireamstances, he was only what he confesses himsélf, the *dupe;of the whisky ring, that is enough’ for sol. mueh of condemnation. . e

i From the Bostondd vertiser (Rep )— It is Gen. Babcock’s misfortune that his indisereet :acts will léave a suspicion in the mindsof many, and that if all were known the verdiet might have been different. Ife was awale that McDonald and Joyce were coarsegrained | fellows, that one of them was, illiterate as _well as low in his tastes, and that neither was a fit associate for one in his pésition,. ©

'From the New York Evening Express (Dem.)—Upon the evidence taken the world will believe that -Babcock profited in some way by the wrongs of the convicted., To what extent, either in the political uses made of the money whichbelonged to the gqvernmient, or in receiving the money direet, there:is no evidence, and no one but Babcock and his associates will ever know. ’ i From the New York Tribune (Ind.) ‘—Gen. Babeock mayi plead. exteéhuation of his imprudence that he has been no méré reckless than the President. Keepiiig bad company- is the besetting sin 0f -Gen. Grant’s administravion.: . i - :

~ From the New York THimes (Rep))— ‘AI -this was much too slender a basis on.whigch to coniviet Gen. Babeock of | conspiracy, but it leaves enough of his conduct open to untfavorable com- , ment to render highly necessary that “frank, full and straightforward statement” which his friends in Washington expect him to publish. S From'the New York Sun (Ind)— The jury at St. Juouis acquit Babeock. "This is. not surprising. The whole power and influence of the President and his nearest friends have been earnestly applied to produce such a result. -But- the facts proved on the «trial are not obliterated and will not be forgotten. : s _From thg New York Ivening Post (Ind.)—Gen. Babcock takes the benefit of a doubt, It has cleared him before the St. Louis'jury, but it may prove fatal te -him before the counAy, P e o
