Good men may differ as to the best plan to remedy the existing evils imposed by our tariff laws, bat none but corrupt ones deny the necessity for a change. ~_ Tub Republican party is a party of tnagnillcent prodigality. Economy of administration would be a meanness in its eyes. It taxes heavily; it gives mngniSeentlv: it steals liberally. * ' TB* Democratic National Committee meets at "Washington City today to fix time and placo tor the National Convention. Cincinnati is working hard to secure it there, lmt fit. Louis and Chicago .each think „ they arc ahead. Sexator IIarrisox wants to- give the soldiei-3 a monument. Senator Yoorhees wants equal and exact justice done the soldiers liy equalizing their bounties. The soldiers wants t o see Senator Voorhecs' bill become t he law of the land. The river at Cincinnati touched its highest point—71 feet and inches— at 2;30 p. in., on Thursday, 14th inst. It then commenced falling. The rise this year was 4 feet 8?X inches higher than last year, which was the highest then ever before known. A meeting of the Democratic State Central Committee will be held at Indianapolis next Tuesday, to fix the date for holding the next State Convention for the nomination of Governor and other State officers and for the. appointment of delegates to the National Convention. A new chairman will also ho chosen in case Mr. McDonald should determine to tender his resignation. *'

. Is organizing tlic Democracy of the county for the effective work of the campaign a great deal depends upon tho ahility and push of the committee men. The party therefore, in every township should see to it that where changes are made in their committeemen good men are selected. Much work tails to the committeemen in each township, and he should be a man who has a talent uofonly to Perform much work, bnt to perform it effectively. Tho right man should be put forward. • r Last week the editor of the Press showed himself in an unenviable light by abusing our worthy clerk, Dan, C. Ashby, lie said Dan “is low and dirty.” If this is so, low exceedingly low and dirty is J. Wright Gladisb, the editor of the Press. At a time when the Deiootratie majority in this county did not exceed 250 Dan beat Gladisb for clerk by a majority ef over 500. How cx- . ceodingly low and dirty Gladish most bo that nearly 300 of his own party bad to vote for Dan in preierence to him. Ok tho 8th inst., the Press published a report made by Geo. D. Mar♦i®». trustee of Lockhart township, showing up very favorably for Mr. n Martin, with the view of raising a ; ; boom for his re-election. Since then Mr. Martin has been compelled to admit a thousand dollars mistake in bis favor in said report, and last week sent a letter to the Press correcting the mistake. Why don’t the Press publish the letter ? Why not publish the report as corrected? A thousand dollars difference might raise a different sort of boom. tVseootiane topantfor information regard1b* the Mipprewion of the History of the War'io the public eelioola How (lkt It Imppon In a city where the fruit* of the war hero beep so care

iiiat as iicpai:unvan authority— history as “she is taught.” Northern streams as they flow south' hankful symbolize the kindly feelings of the vast majority of the Northern people, and the South winds as they come Northward sing of peace and good will. Oialy mean, film-eyed fanatics talk “bloody sliirt,” Large souled Republicans abhor the whole business. They will not train in the ranks of a party where the bloody shirt flag floats. . *! It comes with very bad grace for the editor of the Press to call Clerk Ashby vile names because lie insists on his right to control the publication ■of legal notices given by him. The clerk has the same right to say in what paper his notices, such as notices to nou-residoftts, notice of petition to sell real esta te, notices of distribution, &c»» &c-> sht.il be published as the sheriff has to say what paper shall publish his sales. Notwithstanding this fact Mr. Ashby has repeatedly allowed such notices to lie given to the Press, and has been more liberal i:a such matters than any of the Republican officers of this oonuty, who have never permitted a notice controleil by them to be given to the Democrat. Mr. Ashby, however, was too brave a Soldier to now allow’ a stay-at-home patriot to dictate to him what he shall or shall not do. Only a few months ago a Republican boss tried to: bulldoze him into giving a notice to toon-resident to the Press. The cieik <rave us the notice and the attorney gave a like notice to the Press, and the matter came before the court, which decided that the clerk had a perfect right, to control the publication of notices given by Jiini. Consequently the Press man received no pay for that notice, unless the administrator paid it out of his own pocket. —g——aarvmmatm Do. tlie Demoprai.ic eoldiera “\rho fought so manfully for the preservation cjjf the Nation want their heroic deeds blotted from the pages of our history?—Press. "Why should the Democrats who wore the blue in the war of the rebellion want the record of their deeds blotted from America's history ? No, a thousand times wo answer no. They want the rising generation of young Republicans, who never saw a battlefield, to know that the country they boast of so loudly was more than half purchased svith Democratic

blood. History fairly written and read disproves the Republican charge of'treason against the Democratic party and loaves the “whs ng doodle” roaring over his ov n shadow. And, Brother Gladish, that is why the Indianapolis Sentinel has fer more than six weeks last past, been oudgieing the Republican Board of School Trustees of the city of Indianapolis, for excluding the history from the sflhools in that city. As a matte!! of fact the Sentinel made it so everlastingly hot for them that they sought, relief from the scorching (ire under promise that it would hereafter be admitted. For late! history the pupils might be furnished with the record of the Credit Mobilier investigation.

Some of these volumes make “mighty interests read in.’' We want the young aud ui.(corrupted who am hereafter to guide the destiny o%thia Republic to know how men were bribed by Republican bosses to stuff ballot boxes and falsify election returns in 1880. We w ant them to know bow voters were imported into this State daring the same campaign by Dorsey, See rotary of the National Republican Central Committee, for the purpose of wresting the State front Democratic control, all of which they will learn from Dorsey 's own admissions and the testimony of Hon. W. P.

BLOODY SHIRT YAWPERS. “Let the Galled J idea Winee.” Every generation should stand on its own merits, and every political campaign should famish its own issues. The . issues should embrace and present those questions that most vitally affect the present, and arc. most iikely to affect tho future. Broad, deep, living questions, upon which men may coolly deliberate and calmly reason. Were this done votes would be the product of intelligence. Campaigns wonkl be conducted decently. Principles would bo discussed instead of men. Appeals would be made to reason and judgment instead of prejudices, passions and hatred. Kind, friendly and neighborly feelings would be maintained and promoted instead of bad blood and ill feeling'being generated. Campaigns would net be productive of malignant feelings and deadly hatreds as they have been in the past. Good cheer, neighborly feelings, brotherly love and; the higher instincts and intelligences would prevail. Political questions would then be deliberately, calmly and intelligently discussed without producing excitement or animosities, The Demo

crats are willing, nay anxious, to do this. They appeal to knowledge, intelligence and judgment; to the higher^ better, holier and humane quaKtii&of the head and heart They would leave, cast, race, sectionalism and all causes of strife, dissension and hatred entirely outside of any and all political issues. The better part of tiie rank and file of the Republicans would gladly do the same. They are tired and rsick of the continual yawp about terrorism and the bloody shirt. Thejy as well as Democrats, want to concern themselves about things that most grieviousiy affect the present. They want to rid themselves of a burdensome tariff that makes fhem pay four or five times more for articles of necessity than they are worth. They want foreigners to compete with our rich manufacturers as well as with our poor laboring men. ] They want the poor man to have S the privilege of buying from those who will sell the cheapest, the same as the rich manufacturers have of employing those who will work the cheapest. While this is true of the rank and file of Republicans, and ief tliclr roost intelligent and respected leaders, it is not so with their self j constituted, nom de plume local leaders. The latter “loye darkness rather thau light -because their deeds -are evil.” They studiously avoid all living questions, refuse to reason like men, wont deal at all with the preseht, but ghoul like, wallow in the sickening slime of the grave yards of the past. They hoist the bloody shirt, deepen and' widen the bloody chasm and foment sectional strife. They are compelled to concede that Grant,'Garfield, Beecher, Talmage and a hosi of others, their best and loading men, said in 1880 there was no terrorism, no politieal outrages in the South. They are compelled to concede this, but ask what has this to do with; alleged outrages in 1883 ? It is a wonder the question does not choke them. It is well known that .these same-local lovers of darkness raised the same hue and cry about outrages and terrorism in 1880 that they are raising now. If they were wrong then, and their best men said they were, hotjv can they expect to be believed nowj We do not rest our case solely on what their best men said in 1880. ;We will add. to that the testimony <>f their leaders of to-day. Henry Ward Beecher, who has been all through the South since the alleged Danville afl'air, says that the active, intelligent people of the South have buried; sectionalism and have forgotten the war, and that they would not have slavery restored, and that he had no more difficulty in ad

dressing the people:ot the South than he had in New York city. The New York Times, the leading Republican paper in the Uuiteel States, after having its correspondent, one of its staff, make a personal investigation of the Danville matter, says • Further investigation of the Danville affair by our correspondent fails to Justify the construction put upon it by those anxious to give it a political purpose. It was undoubte^ty>*n incident of the excitement wrought upon in a contest in which an effort was made to draw the color lino. The feeling between whites and blacks was such that a street row was liable to be precipitated at any moment, and it came as the result of a personal altercation with which politics had nothing directly to do, but race feeling much. The Times says polities had nothing to do with the row. That it was the result of race fueling with which the blacks were as much to blame as the whites. Just; a few days ago, after making a still further and more thorough investigation the same paper said: The people throughout the country are utterly sick of the sectional issue, and nothing is so calculated to excite' their disgust and aversion as the exhumation of the “bloody shirt” and a reiteration of the cry of Southern outrages. » » * There is no repression that the National Government can exercise upon it with a benefleial effect. " There is nothing that a political party in the North can do about it with benefit. Crime in Virginia and Mississippi can no more be dealt wi th by Congress than crime on Long Island or in New Jcreey. * * * It is the worst kind of fatuity for Kepublicans in Congress to spend- their time in discussing Southern outrages and attempting to renew sectional antagonism. It will win no Demoorats and it will repel thcussnds'of independent and sensible Republicans. Thus we have the testimony of the best informed Republicans who have iu person beeu on the scene of action, and made thorough personal investigation, to the effect that the hue and cry about Danville outrages and terrorism is just a s f alsfi now as was the same hue and cry in 1880. Leading Republicans in 1880 gave this cry the lie; leading Republicans in 1884 give it the lie. So we see that when measured by the best Republican authority there is nothing left of it hut lie. Reference lies been made to what is called the best effort of my life, made to the Hayes Club in' 1876, based- on Greeley’s Great American Conflict, and an intimation made that I ought to have pursued m.v studies in that liue. Let mo say kind friends, that I did pursue my studies in that’ lino, and I found that long after he had written the Great American Con- _____ - of battle had cleared away and the dash of

government suel:i ns ours; that they should rise, flourish and pass away when they have subserved the purpose for which they were created. The dangers which threatened our country in the past are gone. We struggled and suffered together to preserve the union of these States, and not in the next hundred years will any attempt to divide it be made. We want peace and the complete restoration of fraternal relations. It is time for ns to forget the animosities engendered by the war and to kindle instead of baleful passions a feeling of universal love. It is time for us to invite those who have been opposed to us to a scat around the common table. There is .room enough for all.” As a result of pursuing that line I find myself on the side of right, battling for the right. And there I trust I ever shall be found. E. A. E. The bloody shirt and sectionalism revival: came a little earlier this time than in the Garfield canvass. It will probably be possible for the Republican politicians to discover before the actual canvass begins that this country has gone by all that sort of thing. It was comparatively late in the canvass of 1880 when the same truth dawned upon their bewildered minds and led to the, for, them, unfortunate opening of the tariff question, which once opened, has never been, closed. It was in the heat of the canvass that the managers saiw that they were defeated, and, under pretense of pressing the tariff issue, bought the election in Indiana, Ohio and New York. In the coming canvass no amount of howling on the pari of fanatics and hypocrites will make Sectionalism arid Jjie bloody shirt available. If house committee of ways and means shall frame a practical, sound, and just tariff bill, based largely upon Republican admissions, putting them beyond the possibility of replv, they will be cut off from all old questions and powerless to spring any new issue iiv the course of the canvass, while they will ho so narrowly watched that the Dorsey-Brady game of 1880will notbeavailable.

TnE issue, of 1884, as defined by the Demooratie party is: Reform in tie government—not in one respect only, but in every department Let corruption and fraud and dishonesty be driven from power, and let the people place the government in the hands of those who are not only capable of administering i t, bet will do so faithfully in the interests of a united country. Sectional issues have been kept at the front too long and the “protection” of the interests of the few at the expense of the many has been practiced until forbearance and submission is no longer a virtue. “The Republican party mnst go.” The Republican party will go. This i& the decree of the people. Ip the Sentinel is anxious to make the suppression of the history of the rebellion in the public schools of Indianapolis a party question it may possibly lie accommodated.

Several intelligent gentlemen were discussing the profits of agriculture last Sunday, one conclusion readied being, this, that farms in Knox county do not, on the average, pay above 4 per cent. Yet farmers are willing to tax themselves, or at least; they submit to be taxed about 42 per cent, on all they buy to ‘•protect industries that pay from 10 to 300 per cent, annually; and this is called patriotism!—[ Vincennes News.
