LIGONIJER, IND,, JUNE 6th, 1878. “No..man _worthy of the office ‘of President should be willing to hold it if cosm\.ed in or placed there by fraud.”—U. 8. GrANT. ! ANDERSON Was rigorously cross-ex-amined by Mr. Reed (Rep.) of the Pottér committee, but his evidence remains unshaken so far as his transactions with John Sherman and Stanley Matthews are concerned. JOHN SHERMAN ijn‘t half as bold and defiant as he wds a week ago.— ‘That little piece of paper which Mr. Potter handed him last Saturday for identification seems to”have taken a good deal of starch out/of the famous “Wrecker.” < G e bt - ——ee . ProrITING by his experience in vetoing the silver bill, President Hayes has signed the act prohibiting any further contraction of the greenback circulation. A veto would have been annulled as swiftly as was the veto of the silver bill.

- TrHosE democratic politicians who have made themselves particularly conspicuous by opposing the investigation of the big fraud may rest assured that their conduct will not soon be forgotten. ’£he‘g ~will be taught-a lesson that will’"do them a life-time.

. Ir we had the right kind of a man at the head of the Treasury department, there would :be no difficulty about getting the “dollar of the dadddes” in circulation. Paying off some of the bonds in silver would do the business. Thatcourse would also stop interest. P . :

THE recent action of Congress, forbidding the further retirement of greenbalcks,_ is a much greater victory for the peoplé than popularly ‘llnderstood. It establishes the permanency of the greenbacks, ahd is virtually a repeal of the resumptionact. The organs of the Money Power so understand it. | e

" Ir the editor of the Lagrange Stand-. ard will read the Sherman resumption act with ordinary care, and then declare upon honor that it does not “contemplate the retirement or extinction of the greenback circulation,” we will endeavor to furnish arguments that will substantiate every word we h’a{e written on that subject.

SILVER remonetized and greenbacks made permanent; assu;res the country that contraction is among the things of the unhappy past, Henceforth it will be expansion. Congress has come to the relief of the people; now let the people attest their gratitude by giving Congress due credit. But above all things, let them see to it next fall that the undoing of the /good work is-ren-dered impossible. | .- — i. e

WHEN Senators Gordon and Lamar and Representatives Randall Gibson, E. John Ellis; John Young Brown, and sofe. other Southern: Democrats whoJ took a hand in that bargain with the !Hayes managers, are called to the stand to give us. the true inwardness of ‘that. Wormsley conference, there will probably be some aching hearts begides those of John Sherman and Stanley Matthews. . .

¢ No, dear Era, we no lonéer believe that those appeals of Dan Voorhees in 1875 were “demagogical.” Wehave ~ long since changed our: opinion on that subject, and have made no effort to conceal the change. Nowp Mr. Prickett, will you be equally candid and tell us whether you still hold to * the opinien that the volume of curvency in 1875 was greater than in 18652 ‘Dear Jacob, please answer.

AN Indianapolis telegram to the Chicago Journal says Gen. Hascall was defeated for State Auditor “by a “fool speech of nomination’by dele- “ gate Woods, of Elkhart” As Judge Woods is not generally regarded a fool, we have a lurking suspicion that it was' not so much the ‘speech as the subject itself that impelled the convention to reject the doughty general,

THE Chicago T'mes talks of a probable attempt to test the constitutionality of the legal tender act. That erratic journal seems to be of opinion that tlhie recent action of Congress making the $346,000,000 greenbacks a permanent currency (instead of a “forced loan”) will not be sustained by the Supreme Court as now constituged. By all means let us have this question

'brought beforé court. The sooner it «~ 18 met the better it will be for the country. We have no apprehensions . of the result. L i

~ AS THE LAWS in régard to finance now stand, a gradual expansion of the circulating medium is inevitable. As business rivives, the national banks will not be slow to extend their operations, to say nothing of new ones likely to beestablished throughout the country. Eveéry increase of, their circulation will add so much to the volume of currency. From two to three millions of silver dollars are coined every month, and the coinage of gold proceeds steadily. The probabilities ~are that within a year from now the circulating medium-—greenbacks, national bank notes, gold and silver—will amount to over one billion dollars. The balance of trade is now largely in our favor, and will likely continus 8o for some time to come.— This, indeed, makes the outlook far more promising than at any time during the past five years. We have an idea that if some great enterprise like rivers MWW at once, ment of now idle aud destitute laboro

iy WHY QUIBBLE? _ Instead of attempting to deny the “facts set forth in these columns seyeral Wweeks ago relative to the contraction of the currency, tho Lagrange Standard devotes over a column to quibbling“about the arrangement of our table giving the amount of the circulating medium in 1865. The correctIress of our figures is not assailed, but the classification is not to the Standard’s liking. That sort of argument we-call quibbling—a method not generally resorted 'to by Dr. Rerick, except when pretty badly cornéred.— Now, if the Dr. will refer to page 28 of the Annual Repert of the Comptroller of the currency for 1877, he will find- a statement that on August 31, 1865, the Jegal tender obligations amounted to $684,138,959, without including a dollar of the then outstand‘ing fractional currency ($26,344,742), ‘or .of the $830,000.000 Seven-thirty ‘notes, or of the $176,213,955 national bank notes, orf of the $65,000,000 of State Bank notes. The proof that all these notes were part of the circulating medium is of no concern to the Standard—because, forsooth, they are not thus enumerated in "‘some report of theecretary of the Treasury! If ‘theré has been no contraction, why in “heaven’s name did Secretary McCulloch and President Grant, in their official reports and messages, dwell so extensively upon the “great contraction of the curreney?” If the 7-30 notes were not money, why did Congress make them a legal tender? Ifl they were not currency, how comes it that under Secretary Fessenden’s administration ¢these very notes were used to pay the officers and soldiers of the Union army? Is Gen. Spinner, who as Treasurer of the United States, bandled all tue different forms of money, and who says the 7-30 s constituted partof the currency, a liar and falsifier? Is the testimony of the men who framed the law for the issuing of this kind of -currency, of no account ? Come, Poctor, let us meet the question fairly and squarely. The readers of both papers have a right to know ‘the exact truth, let there be no . dodging, no subterfuge.

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION, - The Republican State convention which was held at Indianapo}is yesterday, was fairly attended. (Gen. Ben. Harrison was made permanent chairman and delivered himself of an intensely bitter partisan harangue. -- There was but little competition for nominations, except en Auditor of State. Gen. Milo S. Hascall, of Goshen, made a desperate effort to secure the nomination for that office, and those Wwho knew him of old were equally determined he shouldn’t haveit. The ticket nominated is as follows: ‘.

~ Secretary of State—-Isaac S. Moore, of Warrick.

Auditor—General A. 0. Miller, of Boone. ! ]

_ Treasurer—Maj. Geo. F. Herriott, of Johnson, . Sl |

Attorney General—D. P, Baldwin, of Cass. o Superintendent of Public Instruetion—Prof. J. T. Merrill, of Tippecanoe.

‘Major Herriott was the candidate for Treasurer two years ago, and is therefore accustomed to defeat. 'The ticket is a fair one—neither overly strong nor extremely weak. : The platform! touches upon almost -every topic known to mankind-—a reg-ular-tape-worm document, so to speak. It endorses Hayes; scolds the Potter investigation ;: eulogizes the achievements of the republican party; favors a sound ‘and stable currency of gold, silver and paper of the same value; recommends that greenbacks be made receivable for custom duties and for the payment of bonds, and ‘opposes further financial agitation.. [Aha! How are you going to stop the people from the discussion of that subject ?— Ep.] Denounces southern war claims, the unseating of republican congressmen who weére either elected I)y fraud or not elected at all, bull-dozing, &c., &c., and winds up with a special eulogy upon the late Senator Morton. The platform is evidently the handiwork of Hayes’ Secretary of the Navy, Dick Thompson. .~ ° 0 e

MR. GEORGE H. PENDLETONis reported as deprecating the Potter investigation. Gentleman George, come to think of it, has some reasons for thinking unkindly of these modern inquisitions. If we réemember correctly, he had‘some difficulty in explaining his connection with a Kentucky railroad operation that yielded him -a very snug attorney fee, and which connected him somewhat unpleasantly with the Belknap scandal.

THAT MONSTER FRAUD TheCurtain Rises Upon the Great - Play of Investigation. ‘Damaging Diselosures and Startling Surprises Already Produced. ' Testimony of James E. A.nderson; of " - East Feliciana, the Palof the Visiting Statesmen. _ John Sherman Confronted Wilh the Written ; Testimony of His Own Share in ¢ the Fraud. ;

And Upon His Oath Virtually Confessed the ~ Genuineness of the Damning Document, and the Falsity of All His ProfesL sions of lunocence,

~ WASHINGTON, June I.—The testimo-, ny of the witness, James E. Anderson, before the Potter Committee to day, has made a decided sensation here. True, its force was somewhat anticipated through the oft-repeated story that the witness had some damaging letters which would implicate Secretary Sherman; but the links of the whole chain in the evidence, asdrawn out to day, were so complete that even the Republican members of the Committee were deeply impressed, and, for the first time since the investigation has been ordered, have come to a full realization of the faet that the Democrats have a strong case. . Anderson is a boyish, beardless yon¥not over thirty. Ifehasastrong Celtic cast, red hair, a fiery red mustache and highly florid compiexion. He demeaned himself with remarkable composure on the witness-stand. Every statement he advanced was fortified with documentary evidence in the shape of a correspondence he had carried on with Weber, when his soul revolted from his obeying the behests of those who were pressing him to subseribe to protests, so as to make a reasonable excuse for throwing out the votes of East Feliciana Parish in Louisiana. :

The rehearsal of his story was almost as interesting as a romance. There were but few interruptions by the Republican members until the Sherman letter to the witness and Weber was sought to be introduced. Thenthe Republican members kicked somewhat, and, on motion of Ben Butler, the letter was not put in evidence until Secretary Sherman was invited to come from the Treasury to the com-mittee-room, and'affirm or deny the correctness of the copy. : Anderson’s story. in a nutshell is that he refused to protest against the peaceable election in the parish of which he was Supervisor. It wasnecessary, in order to carry the State for. the Hayes and Wheeler eleetors, that the vote of the parish (which gave 1, 743 democratic majority) should -be thrown out, Anderson was besought by his party friends to make the protests. IHe refused, butdid sign a piece of paper, but which he refused to swear to, and some one else wrote the protest; and that the protest filed with the Returning Board was not the protest he signed. The letters before the election, which were exhibited, go to show plainly that Kellogg had endeavored to arrangeadeliberate plan whereby five parishes were to be thrown out. It is seldom that John Sherman shows signs of nervousness. He was unmistakably embarassed to-day when he came to the Committee-room. Ile was pale, and his look haggard. When ‘hianded the letter, he began to look at ‘it. Then he remembered that he had forgotton his spectacles. Judge Cox, who sat by him,. loaned him his pair. Again hescanned the leétter. For full five minutes he read. Then he re-read it. -Ten thousand memories of ‘what inspired it evidently flashed threugh his mind. “Did you write that letter, Secretary Sherman ?” asked Mr. MeMahon. Tis answer was evasive: “I have no recollection of it. I do not think I did. Af the same time there are things init that I would have written.” “That will do,” said Chairman Potter, and sherman left the room as soon. as he could get out of it. When he had left there was a painful silence for a minute or two. The Republican members .of the Committee looked dumbfounded. They had expected in emphatic denial from Sherman, and he ‘had made a reply which was Jpeither fish nor fowl. It was a wain attempt to deny Its genuineness—saying no in a manner which, if the proof was brought directly home, gave him still the loophole of escape to say yes. After Sherman left the examination of Anderson was resumed. Itdid not lose its interest. Stanley Matthews figured as the central figure at the point where Sherman was temporarily left out. Anderson’s reeital of how he had called on Senator Matthews at Cincinnati, and left with him the original of the agreement wherein Kellogg had agreed to see to it that a negro named Nash was to be counted in as a member of Congress, created a genuinesurprise. Itappears that Kellogg had refused to help Nash out. ‘Anderson insisted that he should: “Why,” said Kellogg, “he is badly beaten.” “That makes nodifference,” said Anderson; “Hayes is over 10,000 votes behind, and you are going to count him in. You must also count Nash in.” Then an additional surprise was the statement that Sen-agf Matthews had sent Anderson a lettet of introduction to Gen. John M. Harlan, then a member of the Louisiana Visiting Commission, and now a Justice of the Supreme Court. S

The Republicans still endeavor to break Anderson down by attacking his character, and yet the pre-eminent fact sticks out like a phantom. that will not down, that he Wwas trusted by the Republican. visitmfitatesmen 10 the extent of being in &@rrespondence ‘with him. Sherman writes him letters, and guarantees him protection and position; Stanley Matthews presents him to Judge Harlan; the President urges his appointment to a consulate in a warm country—and yet he i; toi'! be assailed as a common horsethief. i

A Bold Case of Body Snatching.

Every precaution had been taken by the friends of the deceased Mr. Harri-~ i _son to prevent his body being molest“ed, and not the slightest-suspicion had | -entered the mind of the son that the | -remains of his father had been disturb--ed until he thus met them face to face.

He was, however, badly wounded by the first fire, thirty small slugs’ entering his body, chiefly lodging in his arms and face. The most dangerous wound of all is in the wrist near to the main artery, and from it the Emperor lost much blood.

= ELKHART LOCALS. : The discussion of the finance question is laid on the table for a while. - Whegt in this vicinity is pretty fair, In the southern part of llawpatch, and occasionally through Springfield central part, the Hessian fly has done its work, to the destruction of nearly entire fields. The recent frosts, it is thought, did scarcely any injury to wheat in this locality. The growing eorn issick indeed. Worms, rain, frost, and general cold weather have very much debilitated it,, Even here, in the hay spot of Northern Indiana, the hay crop ‘is short, light and mixed with red.

The Méthodists in Wawaka baptized quite a number last Sunday; some by sprinkling, some by immersion. Let the good work of improving the morals of the people be continued; not alone in Wawaka, but in our neighboring towns.

A. H. Smith, of Oliver Chill metal, has about completed a corn crib, wagor house, and grarary, all under one roof. : S
