Tin radio press throughout the country is dissatisfied ith tin platform adopted by the democracy of Indiana on the Sth instant, and with perfect unanimity agree in saving that the democracy were unwise to adopt such a platLrm, and that with such a platform the democracy will certainly be defeated, and that the aforesaid platform is perfectly ridiculous, and that it does not express correct principles! Nothing in the platform is right. and all is wrong. The resolution declaring that the Union must be prcsenred and the constitution respected. meau to them secession. To the radical mind it seems singulai that the democracy should dare presume to denounce reconstruction. renunciation of the natioual bank windle means approval of it. And so cn through the fist. The platform is illy, and the candidates weak, and these radical Solons mournfully declare that once eaore defeat awaits the democratic aorr mrbV Thev undoubtedly receive their gift tjf prophecy from being ' filled with a divine afflatus." Their sympathy is KOlt consoling. In fact, so much so that the democracy look their gloomy future smilingly in the iace. and eea alt resignel to nice: the fate they anticipate. Next time a democratic convention b b.ni we insist tnat these wise radicals be called upon to frame the platform, aud select the candidates. In this manner they will probably be mnch better pleased with the result. Some irrepressible biovrhard writes from Bourbon to the Northern htdiantan a column or so of the most approved loyal cant and drivel which gushing patriots ever hold in sacred remcm"brance. He appears to be laboring under the hallucination that lie is surrounded by Copperheads, rebels, snakes and all the other repugnant ehuraeters calculated to make a loyal man nervou-. He is no doubt one of those meddle some patriots who i constantly abusing ' a aa ia i a i! sucn oi his neignoors as uo not sur scribe to his notions oi loyalty, and who. doubtless, for so doing, has had his snout punched by some venomous copperhead. If there is any one thine: more disgusting than loyal cant and J;el, ;t is ei.ti l;d to a premium. An Elegant Trio. The postmaster at Inwo- d informs us that our paper, addressed to N. . Haltkrman, is not taken out of the office; cause, moved away. II ; owes $3 75. " N. W." will please bear in mind th?.t at no very distant day he may be a halter man in fact as well as in name. There are very few who deliberately swindle the printer who do not shuffle off their mortal coil by the astistance of the hangman. The next is from the aboriginal town of Maxenkuckee. and is to the effect that our paper "addressed to D. C BnoOK remains dead in the office; cause, not a Democrat." He owes $-5 50 This brook is doubtless one of the murky kind which needs damning, and which will doubtless get it before he further attempts to run the printer in the ground by taking his paper without paying for it. It is pleasant to reflect that the doctrine of repudiation finds its practical adherents in the personi of republicans. That fact alone will make it odious. Brother Brook will stand aside for the next W. n. Metc.iLF. of Walkertop, returns his paper. He owes 1. This calfisonewe never Met. and never want to. He should be pastured on greenback fields until he can raise fodder enough to pay for his paptr. That was a good point made by D. W. Vorhee-v in his brief speech at t!ic democratic state convention, pub1 bed in the DEMOCRAT last week, wherein he intimated to the bondholders that if they demanded payment of their bends in gold, when they were jastlv pay-hie in currency, they would violate tLeir C'mtract, and thuJ free the govcrr.ant from all obligation to redeem il.c.a at B& This is the right view to Sake of the riuestion. and the one thai wiii aoonest bring the bondholders to their senses. The radicals are terribly exercised oer the fact that the democratie p:ip?rdo not go into mourning over the death of E. M. 8tantox. Probably no prominent A BCffatn has died who had fewer cla: ma on the sympathy of democrats, thin Stanton; and. so far as our observation extend'-, not e has received less of it. While we express our opinion of him in language different from that employed by some of our eoteu.poraries, we have no hoiMti n in saving that we beliove him to have been a very bad mau, a man whose career in Um furnished no pood reason why those whom he outraged should repress their feelings toward him after his .devtii He was th diicct cause of the

physical torture endured by thousands of innocent people during the war. and was the principal one high in authority to whom the murder of an innocent old woman can be traced. and not only murdered her, but her lifeless remains were subjected to all the ignominy this 'powerful" man could heap upon them; and now his friends come forward with expressions of holy horror that anything should be said against the purity and excellence of E. M. Stanton! Keep steady, gentlemen, and when Jeffeh80N Davis, or any other good democrat dies, express your minds freely as you doubtless will.

ftatifid. It appears that the deteat of our coten p rary of the Laporte Argus for the democratic nomintion forauditorof state has not affected his zeal and earnestness in behalf of the ticket nominated. This is as it s'iould be. and as all Mr. Stoll's friends knew it would be. From the Argus of last Thursday, we take the following editorial article: John c. shoemaker. We cannot forbear the pleasure of attesting to the genial qualitiesand high standirg in society of the gentleman whose nau: heads this article. We had the pleasure of forming his acquaintance during the early part of last week, and although it was generally conceded that the contest for the auuttorship laid between Mr. Shoemaker a.nd ourself. our acquaintance soon ripened nto unaffected, genuine friendship, both expressing a regret that circumstances had placed us in the position of rivals. During a great portion of the time spent at Indianapolis we were in Mr. Shoemaker's company he introducing us to his supporters, and the compliment being reciprocated by a like course on our part. After he was declarer' the nominee of the convention, his friends attested their good will toward us by uniting in ' three rousing cheers for 8woll,w and Mr. Shoemaker himself, deeply affected, warmly grasped us by the hand and assured us that during his entire political career he had never experienced greater pain than to be pitted against us. Whatever opinions we may have expressed, and still entertain, with reference to Mr. Shoemaker's energetic canvass for I nomination instruction of delegates. Sue. we can say from the bottom of our heart that no man on the ticket will receive a heartier support from us than Mr. Shr emaker. e honor and esteem him. and assure his host of friends that we WÜ1 display far more energy and activity to procure his election than we did to secure our nomination. 1 While the glorious work of reconstruction is going on," a Sooth Carolina negro orator takes occasion to go off in the following flight of oratory : We'll neber desert de ole flag, boys ncber! We bab lib under it for eighteen hundred and sixty-nine years, and we will die for it now. Furder, my belub coUegiums wniie we are spiling r a fight, let US hah peace. Whenever some fellow at Washington dies, the heads of the departments order all work in the various places pertaining thereto to cease on the day of the funeral. When Stanton was buried, the men in the navy yard were given n holiday, but their pay was docked, which they are net able to endure, and, as they are by no means responsible for the death of the party, it is peculiarly hard. If this kind of thing i3 to be the policy of the present administration, let it extend clear around, and chop off the pay of the president and secretaries, as well as the poor laborer, who is far less able to endure the loss than they. Another dangerous counterfeit of the seven-thirties was detected at Washington on the eleventh instant. The First National Bank of Louisville sent on some of these bonds for redemption. They were so very like the genuine note that several experts at first pronounced them to be good, and it was not until they were subjected to a critical microscopic examination that they were found to be wonderfully well executed counterfeits. They were, of course, sent back to the bank at Louisville. It is fortunate that but few of these notes arc unconverted or unredeemed, as the counterfeit, if very extensive, would pa a very freely through banks and business circles. Tt h is leaked out that members of the Wisconsin state government take turns getting up subscriptions to make presents to each other. The secretary of state was ' surprised'' at receiving a silver service, and he will surprise the 'ovornor or some other dead beat with an orodc watch. Mr. Beeeher'a annual auction ofchoice reserved scats in Plymouth church, Brooklyn, came off on Wednesday night of bet week. Mr Beecher encouraged the sale by his presence. The bidding was quite spirited A Mr. ( Jage carried off the best SCai, which is near to the stage and orchestra, paying $615 therefor, including the annual rent. Mr. Bowcn, of the fadependrnt, and Mr. Clafiin the dry goods prince, paid re speetirely $490 and $486 for the next bust selections. The sum realized was 1 ;i'cr than any previous year, and shows thai Mr. Beech er'l attractiveuess as a star preacher has not declined. The public is beginning to delight in sensa tion preachers as well as in the sensation drama and newspaper. The Convention, Our thket is an unexceptionable one. We are proud of it; proud of every man n it, Then is not a man on it but is historic in the political annals of Indiana. Our platform is couched in the clearest and happiest words. It contains the very Tuanow of the principles involved in the coming campaign maintenarue t ;he Federal I n ion and the ri'Ms f tiif states, and stern opposition W Bitnililltifin and the reconstruction

measures of congress. The independence of the Federal supreme court. A tariff for revenue only. An increase of currency, to meet the business interest of the country and equal taxation of all property, are principles inscribed upon the Democratic banner, and to be maintained at all hazards. The payment of the national debt, ' in strict compliance with our contracts, " and nothing more. The abolition of the national banking system, and the substitution of greenbacks to fill the vacuum, are proposed as the ultimatum of the democracy-. If these arc not acepted. what follows is an openjuestion. The unalterable opposition of the democracy to the adoption of the fifteenth amendment, and their unqualified denunciation of the last legislature, for its attempt to force it upon the state, are expressed in our platform, in terms so plain that none can misunderstand them. Miami Sentinel.

The editor of the Valparaiso Yidette is very much troubled in spirit because our friend and neighbor J. B. Stole was not nominated for auditor of state at the democratic convention. Considering the fact that Mr. Stot.l would undoubtedly have been an element of strength on the ticket, it seems funnv how a radical can feel so sorry that he did not receive the nomination. But then GURRET Wouldn't tell a story, for he '-belongs to the mectin." The New York World says it would seem divorces were as easv to obtain e in New York as in Indiana. Another fraudulent divorce case came before Judge Cardoto. Mr. Gowan left New York it; May last, and went to Pittsburgh. When he returned home he found that he had lost his wife. During his absence Mrs. Gowan had applied for a divorce; the case had been tried before S. II. Stuart, jr., as referee, and three witnesses had sworn to (rowan's violation of the marriage vow with one Lizzie Smith, residing at number 114 Allen street. Mr. Gowan introduced proof before Judge Cardozo that no such person as Lizzie Smith at number 114 Allen street ever existed; that he was not guilty of the alleged infidelity, and that he had never been served with any notice of the action as required by law. This is certainly a remarkable instance of successful rascality, if Mr. Gowan's allegations are true." 'An important decision relative to National Banks, has been rendered.-i57jc.' We are glad of it. The telegraph brings the very unreliable intelligence that Henry Ward Beecher hxs declined an increase of salary for the coming year. What could have induced hiui to act so at variance with the course usually pursued by radical clergymen, has not yet become public; but it is safe to say there's a nigger in the wood pile, who will make his appearance in due time. The following remarks by Senator Hendricks at the convention on the 8lh of January, were omitted last week for want of space. We especially commend to our readers his suggestions relative to local organizations and tickets: Mr. President and gentlemen of the convention It would not be proper for me, under the circumstances that now surround us, to ask your time while I should make a speech. All I shall undertake to say is this: That for a number of years past I have been associated with you in the political controversies of Indiana, and all the while I have thought that we were in the right, but now I know we are in the right. Your ticket certainly will command the respect and support of every democrat and conservative man in the state of Indiana. We have a great work before us, and I intend, to the extent of my ability, to join you in that work; applause. not. my countrymen that, I have any more interest in these questions than you. but I long once more to see governing the public affairs of this nation, the ancient faith of the democracy. Applause. I am satisfied that radicalism is not the sentiment by which the affairs of the people of the United States can be well regulated. I believe we have got to go back to the doctrine of the constitution of the United States as they gave them to us. A part of this work is upon us. Within the last month a state of this I'nion a state not engaged in hostility to the government a state that has returned to the sisterhood of states by every act of obedience which she could render a state recognized by a solemn resolution of congress such a state has been driven out of the family ot states; her right, prerogatives, and sovereignty in this land have been taken away from her. and she is nowAgovcrned by the political power of this nation.

But as I said, the work is not done here. You must finish it at home. Let your nominations at home be well and discreetly made. Bring into the field for this fight the entire force of the democracy and the conservative citizens of the .state.

I'nited States Bonds. The following is believed to be a correct statement of the bonded indebtedness of the United States. The statement will be a matter of interest to the reader : 1. Five per cent, bonds of the act of June 14, 1858, payable after 15 years from January -. 1859. Of these there are S-'O.OOO.OUO outstanding. 2. Five per cent, bonds of the act of June 22, 1SG0, payable after ten years from January 1, 1861. Of these there are about $7000 000. ' 4 3. Six percent, bonds (1881 ) authorized by the act of February 8. 1SG1, payable after December 31. 1880. About SIS.OOO.OOO outstanding. 4. The Oregon war bonds f 1881) six percent., authorized by act of March 2, 1 SGI . redeemable 20 years from July 1, 1861. Less than '81,000.000 outstanding. 5. Six per cent, bonds (188) authorized by acts of July 17, and August 5 1861, payable at pleasure ot government, after 20 years from June 30, 1S81

Of these, the amount outstanding is about 189,000,000. 6. Bond (5 20s bearing 5 per cent, interest, authorized by act of February 2", 1802, redeemable after five and payable after 20 years from May 1, 1862. of which about $014,000,000 are outstanding. 7. Six per cent, bonds (1881s) of the act of March 3, 1863, payable after dune 30, 1881, of which there are?7L000.000 outstanding. 8. Bonds( 10-40s) bearing five per cent, interest redeemable after 10 and payable 40 years from March 1, 1864, of which there are something less than 200.000.000 outstanding. 9. Bonds (5-20s) bearing six per cent, interest, authorized by the acts of March 3. and June 30. 1864, and March 3. 186."). of which there are six descriptions, the first two redeemable after five and payable 20 years from Nov. 1, 1864 about 128.000,000; the third, payable 24 years from Nov. 1. 1865 about S200.000.000; the fourth. 20 years after July 1, 1865 about 8330.000.000; the 5th. 20 vears after July 1, 1867 about $3S0,0OO,000, the 6th! 20 vears after July 1, 1868 about 942,000,000. These are the great ;:war loans." Then are other evidences of debt against the government, interest ami principal payable in greenbacks, but they need not be noted here. The 1040s and 5-20s are coupons, but the others are mostly registered bonds. The 5-20s are now exchangeable f-r registered bonds, similar as to payment and interest, and many are being so exchanged, but the great bulk of our indebtedness is represented by coupon bonds known as 5-20s and 10-40s. About SI. 000.000.000 of the bonds, chiefly 5-20s. are held by foreign capitalists, mostly in Germany; but a few are held in England. France, and Italy. New YORK. Jan. 16. In Plvmouth church, this evening, Henry Ward Beecher. at the end of his sermon, declined the $20.000 salary voted him on Thursday evening last. He said: Kl hardly know how to say what I wish now to state. I have received uo formal notic e of the sction of this societ I have only seen it in the papers, and heard of it through Biv friends. I am very deeply moved, and none the less so because I am obliged to decline your generosity. Generally, 1 can say what 1 want to; but I cannot to day. I shall remit this whole subject to the trustees fr readjustment more in accordance with my feelings, and what I think best for the welfare of the church and also of the cause of religion everywhere. I have the most profound sense of your kin lnoss to me, and am as muck benefitted as if I had accepted twice as much.'" Washington, Jan. 16. The president hopes this week to send to congress the full official returns of the Mississippi election, together with a certified copy of the adopted constitution. A bill in duplicate of that which passed the house on Friday, in the Virginia case, has been drawn up for the admission of Mississippi. A member of the reconstruction committee says it will go through the house without objection or debate. The estimates submitted by the various departments for appropriations for next fiscal year are most extravagant in view of the professions of economy which have been made by members of the administration. They foot up near $49,000,000 more than the estimates submit ted during the last fiscal year of Andrew Johnson's administrativ n. The committee on appropriations are endeavoring to cut these sums down, but do not find it an easy matter. There aie so manj' delegations appearing before the ways and means committee that they will not be able to report the tariff bill before the last of the week. At the meeting of the committee yesterday, they agreed to a general in crease of the duty on vaiious kinds of imported marble. The British minister has completed preparations here for the reception of Frince Authur next week. He is to be entertained in handsome private style; but it is understood that there is to be no public demonstration. He will call on the president, and in return will probably be invited to one of the state dinners. Senator Morton has prepared an important bill, which will virtually declare that the United States government will not, in future, prevent the supply of arms or ammunit ions of war to any colony ou this continent which may endeavor to emancipate itself from the rule of any European powet This if enacted, will be a step toward the freedom of the colonies of Great Britain and Spain in this section, and is intended really to aid Cuba, as his speech to be made in support of it will show.

Btructed assessors to commence work immediately. No penalty for a refusal to make returns can, however, he enforced before the 1st of March. A letter dated Zangibar, Oct. "22. from Consul Webb, r-ceived at the state department, states that a letter

had been received at the British eonsulate from Ir. Livingston dated May 30. Hr. Livingston was at Ugtgi, on Yanvanyki lake, where he had found his supplies. He was in good health and spirits, and proposed traveling to the windward of Yanyanyki. unless some boatmen and father supplies for which he had sent reached I'gigi.

Washington, Jan. 18. The senate has spent another day on the Virginia bill, and again failed to reach a vote, while the day's discussion and delay have forced the conservatives to the conclusion that the bill of the house will not fail to pass the senate without amendment. Indeed, Gen. Rutler seemed so confident of this that lie proposed at the meeting of the reconstruction committee this morning that they should informally vote to accept the amendment proposed in the senate by Mr. V illey, so that if the senate returned the house bill thus amended, the committee would be prepared to recommend concurrcnc j by the house; but a majority of the committee scouted such a premature action, and Rutler did not press the point. The debate in the senate to day presented no new features, though it commanded crowded galleries. Just before adjournment, an effort was made to fix some time to-morrow for the final vote, but Mr. Sumner gruffly blurted out from his seat: "No time lor a vote can be fixed. I shall object." As it required unanimous consent, no time was fixed. The statesaent recently made ii. these dispatches that the eatin.atcs for appropriation! for the present administration were ?10;000.000 more for the next fiscal year than they were for the last fistal vcar of Andrew Johnson's adJ ministration, was fully confirmed in the house to day by Mr. Ihiwes, chairman of the committee on appropriations, who made a severe arraignment of the navy and other departments for the extravagant demands for public expenditures made by them upon congress. lie made an excited appeal to the republican party to stand by its promises of reform and retrenchment, and to vote down the millions asked for public improvements, lie said that every de partment but that of the attorney gen-' Cral had increased its estimates over last year, which public necessity did not in his opinion demand. The members manifested great interest in the speech, and gathered in groups about the speaker, for the sight was rare to see a prominent republican arraign his own party so earnestly on the floor of the house. The pay department has issued an oider instructing paymasters of the army not to deduct the income' tax from the salaries of the officers of the army, as, under the opinion of the Judge advocate general, no such tax is operative on incomes levied during LS70 This tax was deducted monthly heretofore from these officers. Memorials front Roston were laid before the ways and means committee to-dav. asking for a reduetion of the puty on ship-building materials. The Rrpuhliran of last week says of the resolutions adopted adopted at the democratic convention: "They also approve the national hanks, because the redemption of their currency is secured." Wc believe this idea of the R'jivhliran was not copied by the TrihunrThe following is the language in which the ' approval," is expressed: That the national bank system, organized in the interest of the bond holders, ought to be abolished, and greenbacks issued in lieu of sueh bank paper, thus saving nrllions annually to the peopcl, and giving to the winde people (instead of the few) the benefits ol a paper currency. CRIME. Terrible Trupotly at Flkharl. IM, El. K HART. Ind., Jan. 17. One of the most terrible tragedies ever enacted in this state, occurred here at 0 o'clock this forenoon. The facta arethat a man named Edward Russell deliberately shot down, without previous warning, a fellow-human being named W. A. Williams. The murdered man lived only 20 af minutes. The circumstances attending thil terrible crime are as follows: Mr. Rnss 11, a blaeksmith in the employ of tlio Michigan Southern Rail road shops at this place, has a young and interesting wife, whom it was the ill fortune of Williams to become infatuated with. It is claimed that Williame was in the habit of rioting

I

the house of Mr. Russell at frequen1 intervals, and as Mrs. Russell was his niece, this action on his part excited but little comment. Indeed, it ischurged that the deceased has often gone to the houe with his two daughters. thev to visit their cousins, he to further his

i hellish designs. After a while, the! suspicions of Mr. Russell were aroused. ami he advised with his wife on the matter She informed her husband that her uncle had done nothing wrong, but that if he did she would tell her husband. One day last week, Williams, who was foreman of the blacksmith shop in which Russell works, ordered the latter to Laporte on some business, and during Russell's absence went to nis bouse ana succcued in ravishing her I person. It is asserted that he then threatened to kill her should she ever divulge the circumstance to a lirins soul. On the return of Mr. Russell from Laporte he noticed that his wife was suffering from some secret trouble, and his suspicious being aroused bv having been sent out of town, he questioned his wife as to the cause of her trouble. After a short interval she disclosed the perfidy of her uncle, as J already related. I Mr. Russell was overwhelmed with i - . . l 1 il , i n sorrow, ana ne tnirstea lor revenge. Rut first of all he went to the shop and putting the case as a supposed one to j his lellow workmen, asked them what they would do under such cireumstauces. They all replied that they would shoot j a m who would steal into their family and do them that great wrong. Russell then tried to borrow a revolver, but as none of the men had on 3 he finally called at Rope's hardware store and obtaine.l the weapon. This was on Saturday last. On Sunday he spent the most of his time with his wife brooding over the matter, she endeavoring to comfort him, not thinking that he was harboring murderous thoughts. Early this morning, Russell went to the shop, and. passing through the forge departaient, entered the little office in one corner of the building. There were two persons in the room, and he turned about and went back to his forgo. In a short time he again went to the office, but still the stranger was there, and Russell again returned to his work. After waiting patiently he saw the man depart. lie then left his work, and for the third time approached the unsuspceting foreman. He saw Williams seated at a desk, busily engaged in writing. He deliberately raised the weapon and fired. The ball entered the right side of the head, just ab ore the ear; and the man fell forward, dead. When Russell saw his victim fall, he went out to his forge and asked hi helper if he knew any constable. The man replied that he did. ' Then come with me to see him." said Russell, and when the man, wonderingly, asked what was wanted with a constable, Russell I told him that he would soon be told. They then went to Marshal Rotwiek. and Russell gave himself up. Not knowing whether to believe the story or not, Mr. Rotwiek handed Russell over to the safe keeping of a deputy, and, hurrying to the shops, found the dead body of Williams. Like wildfire the news spread rapidly through this city, and soon an excited crowd had assembled in the neighbor hood of the blacksmith shop. With an eager curiosity men and boys jostled each other, and struggled for a better position, so that they might look upon the scene of the dreadful tragedy. In the meantime the news had been telegraphed to Goshen, and the coroner was summoned to appear and perform his duty. Thatofiicer is now holding the inquest in the passenger house at this place. The murdered man, Williams, was an Englishman, 'aged about 50 years. He had been in the employ ot the Michigan Railroad company for 16 vears. He is a widower, but leaves two children, both daughters, aged respectively 14 and 10 years. Russell is about 28 years of age. The present is his second wife, he havinc been divorced from his first wife; By birth he is a Canadian, and has been in the employ of the railroad company about two years. It is claimed by some in this city that Mrs. Ruf8?H is slightly insane, or that she is o;i omjius mewfu, but, of course, it is only a rumor and cannot be relied upon. The exeitement is intense, the general opinion being, however, that Russell was perfectly justfiable in the course he pursued. A deed has just been recorded in San Francisco, conveying 1 ,000 feci frontage on South Montgomery street. The price paid was 875,000. The buyer borrowed half a milii n dollars on the property from the Savings and Loan society. By this sale, neaily 81.000.000 have been placed in the hands of a com pany for the completion of the grand hotel, which is to occupy two full blocks. Thcrrare 32.000 Baptists in this state Indiana war bonds can be redeemed on presentation. J3EW ADVERT'S. NEWELL GRAVES Boot k Shoemaker. WlVJ. attend promptly to nil work entrusted to hie care.
