desire to leave Daniel W. Voorhees personally entirely out of the coming fight. Having not been on personal relations with him for the last ten years, we are not presumed to know, and indeed do not know but little about him in this particular. What we do know is unexcepionable. "We deem it proper to make this statement now, from the fact that many persons have intimated to us a desire that we

Mr. Voorhees personally during

the coming campaign. We propose to do no such thing. But with Mr. Voorhees political and loyal record, we will have much to say. That is ours, as much as it is his. With that we shall deal without gloves. This is legitimate. The warmest friends of Mr. Voorhees cannot complain, if, in the review we propose to make of his public record, we shall be able to prove to the people that he has been un true to his country in her time of greatest peril. That, not only was he untrue to her, but that he gave aid and comfort to her enemies. That during all th long time he has been a member of Congress, he never originated one measure looking to the future well being of the country. That he is the father of no bill

of importance the advocate of no aflirmative measure, but that his whole Congressional career is made up of attacks on the measures of oilier men, and attempts to destroy that which patriotic men deemed proper to build up.

We hope to be able to show that even during his recent canvass «f this district, he misrepresented to the people the position he occupies towards important measures recently pending before the National Congress. That by a peculiar kind of sophistry, of which he is peculiarly an adept, he gave the people to understand that he was opposed to an important measure, when in truth and in fact lie was its warm and devoted advocate. We expect to be able to show to our readers that Mr. Voorlu-es, instead of being a logician, is a mere deelaimer instead of being a thinker, is a subtle, vaporized, pedant, and that instead of being a statesman, is a demagogue.

We do not conceive it a difficult matter to accomplish all these things, and if we do, we then hope to be able to prove to the readers of the (JAZKTTJ- that such a man is not fit to represent this, or any other people, in the Congress of the United States in times when the clearest brain, the most logical abilities, and the greatest and most incorruptible statesmanship is demanded at Washington.

INDIANA NEWS.

A child of Fred Sauer, of Evansville, was badly scalded day before yesterday. Doubts are entertained of its recovery.

The 4th of July is to be celebrated in four different places in Evansville. A gay time is expected.

The people of New Albany are clamorous for the passage of an ordinance to prevent hogs from running at large in that city.

Union Saloon in Rocklield, Carroll county, was struck by lightning on Saturday, and three men named Wilson, Guinup nd Tafe were severely if not fatally injured. The front of the building was torn to pieces.

Rev. W.N. Dunham preached his fareAvell sermon at St. Luke's church, Cancel ton, on Sunday. He designs takingcharge of a new church in Peru.

The Judges of the Supreme Court have separated until the first Monday in September.

A mad dog was killed in Indianapolis day before yesterday. He made an attempt to bite his master, but did not succeed.

The Indianapolis Journal says "The Young Men's Christian Association held a meeting on Tuesday evening, at which they appointed a committee to investigate the subject of erecting a building in that city for their use."

Nancy Jane Mundell, a married lady, eloped with a man by the name of Laws, from Medorn, a few days ago.

Jeffersonville was the county seat of Clark county as far back as 1820. B. W. James, of Charleston, now 74 years old, published a paper in that town 40 years ago.

queer feeling, and he acknowledged the corn.

But our statesmen were not short-sight-ed. Under the pressure of a devouring necessity, confronted and embarrassed by defeat and disaster, they were still wise and provident enough to borrow on such terms that they might take advantage of better days, should they ever come. They made their loans mainly in what are known as 5-20'.s—that is, bonds that wo should be at liberty to pay oft" after they had run live years, but could not be required to pay before the expiration of 20 years.

The option has already matured with regard to the greater portion of these bonds, and is rapidly maturing as to the residue. If we can sell at par new bonds to the extent of 1,000,000,0J0, having 20, •SO, 30, or 50 years to run, and drawing 4, 4.V, or 5 per cent, interest, and with

the proceeds pay off and redeem an equal the 'matured 5-20's, we shall

imount of save thereby ten, fifteen or twenty millions of dollars per annum, according to the rate of interest borne by our new bonds.

In thus funding the bulk of our debt at a lower rate of interest, there is no repudiation—no stain upon our faith. We expressly reserved the right to do it when we made and sold these 5-20s and it was ully understood and expected that we should do it if we could.

O.iux is not at all the case of n. nation eking to plunge doopoi- into debt. We do not want to put one additional dollar of our debt on the market on the contrary, we mean to persist in reducing, month by month, the volume of our indebtedness and we ought to be able to borrow at a much lower rate than a nation like France, which is steadily increasing her debt, even in time of peace —and yet France could borrow millions on millions to-morrow at 5 per cent.

The Secretary of the Treasury, whose integrity no man questions, and who is fully sustained herein by the President, asks Congress to let him try to fund the debt, or the bulk of it, at a lower rate of interest, as was contemplated by the laws which authorized its creation. lie is confident of his ability to make a large reduction in the annual burden of the debt, if Congress will simply let him try. Able bankers and financiers throughout our country and the civilized world share his conviction.

Can you imagine any reason why a Congress, professedly friendly to the Administration and to its Minister of Finance, should refuse him the permission he asks to make this attempt. Can you conceive a reason creditable to the Republican member of Congress who votes or finesses, to refuse him such authority?

Let us be thanklul that there is a people to whom even Members of Congress must render an account of their stewardship. Let every one who seeks a re-elec-tion be met at the threshold with the stern inquiry: "Sir, did you sincerely and faithfully labor and vote to give the Secretary of the Treasury the authority he sought, to fund the debt at a lower rate of interest? If you did not, how can you claim support as a friend of the Administration, earnestly striving to relieve the burdens of the people.—N. Y. Times.

Fun In Congress.

Tho only good, so far, that has been evolved in the discussion of the proposition to remove the National capital from Washington to some juvenile city of the West, has been to provoke a little fun. It seems'to us that the only really correct and impregnable view of the matter is the view taken ty the Hon. J. A. Johnson, of California, v. ho explodes the idea that the true locality for a capital is in California.

A long time ago," he admits, "Washington City was a name that could not be pronounced' without kindling emotions of patriotism, whereas now it suggests only a great ragged picture of negro processions, election riots, and a lobby of white speculators who could not be satisfied by a legislative donation of the whole world, unless it was tendered with a vote of thanks." lie proposes, therefore, the Pacific, where pacification may be found in the soil, the air, the fruits and the juices, the ledges and the placers. "Let its go," he says, "and locate the capital at Red Dog, among the breezy pines,/ whose long, jilting shadows iall with witchery to charm upon^m-rounding hills where the mountain streams uuwu vnsie to the glass-slippered fairies, and invite'the 'howling coyte' to lap of their waters. If this grand site, situated in a saddle in the mountains, pleases not your iancv then 'You Bet' is a fitting place. N( hostile lieet can ever there ascend. 'You Bet,' our future capital, can never be shaken by mortal foe. 'You Be!,' our capital is above tide-water. But if you like it not, 'Yuba Dam' is a favorab! place. But, still further and last, if vou will accept none of these for safety or for beauty, then 'Jackass Gulch,'is an appropriate place there every ass can bray 'with none to molest him or make him afraid.' "Moreover, 'Red Dog' is a name implying fervent domestic attachment, and should bring 'fond memories of the past' to the mind of every truly loyal gentleman present. 'You Bet' implies geni gootl humor, affability of manners, and a carelessness in financial matters equal to that of the Cabinet officers who footed up the estimates for our appropriations. 'You

From the New York Trioune. Funding the Debt.

The interest-bearing debt of the United

States is something over $2,000 000 The annual interest, upon at least niuetentlis of this debt, is per cent, in gold.

No other nation that has always regularly paid its interest, and is now steadily reducing the principal, pays so high a rate of interest as this.

This great debt was very rapidly contracted under the pressure of a gigantic civil war, which shook the foundations of our Government, threatened the disruption of our Union, and taxed the resources of her loyal people to the very utmost.

Of course, we borrowed under very great disadvantages. Our promises to pay were not then worth GO per cent, of their face, because it was doubtful whether the fortunes of war might not deprive us of the ability to redeem them.

CROQUET.

ANew Gamej and How to Play It. From the New York Evening Mail. I know that, besides the most familiar way of arranging the bridges in croquet, tnere are several others, but I have not seen in any of the books that which I am now about to describe, and which my friends agree with me in pronouncing the best arrangement for a thoroughly sociable and enjoyable game.

For this game few poles are needed, and but eight bridges. Pole No. 1, or the home pole, placed in the centre of the lawn. Equi-distant from this centre, say 20 or 30 feet, or further if you have space, place poles, north, south, east and west, and between each of these and your centre pole place two bridges equidistant from each other and from the pole nearest. Your arrangement of poles and bridges will now resemble a cross, the arms and stand are of equal length, as per diagram:

O

it will be weii now to number each bridge, beginning with that going north from the center, 1,2. Center to south pole, 3, 4. Center to east pole, 5, G. Center to west pole, 7, 8. A ready way of doing this is to take a piece of tin (an old fruit can wiil do), and with a strong pair of scissors, cut out the figures from

to eight, leaving a little tag to the upper portion of each, so as to hook it

confusion as to the place of impossible, except to the most stupid sort is people, or to young folks very much in love. And now we shall go over the course, placing our ball three feet from the centre pole, and p!av at bridge No. 1, going north through bridge No. 2, then to the pole, which we turn, not strike and, having done this, return as we went out, until we strike the center pole thence from where we lie after striking the center, we start for the east pole in like fashion, passing through bridges 3 and 4, and so

until returning through each bridge twice, going and coming, having turned the north, east, south and west poles, and having struck the center po'e three times we strike it now for the fourth and last time for game.

Croquet players will readily see the advantages of this arrangement, the most important "perhaps being the frequency of collision between opponents and the chances which an unfortunate player has of recovering himself by a lucky meet in the centre. This is

The game just described will be found the game for two players, and such a game was wanted.

I have endeavored to be as clear in my description as possible with respect to your valuable space, which calls upon me to bo brief. I nope many of the. readers of the Evening Mail will try my little game, and do me the favor to report progress.

Truly yours and theirs, TOM MALLET, Of Balls, Mallet & Co.

TriK most graphic accounts of the grout fire at Constantinople fail to convey an idea of its horrors and destructiveness. More than 7,000 houses were destroyed, and property to the value of S-10,000,000 was sacrificed. More than 1,000 dead bodies have been recovered, and there are still 1,400 missing persons unaccounted for. Seven fire companies, engines and men, perished in the flames they endeavored to subdue. The horrible incidents are too numerous to detail. Strangest of all is the fact that the fire thus destructive raged but a few hours, and spread with such rapidity that buildings were swept away in an instant, and with an explosion like that of a cannon. Such awfully destructive fires are, fortunately, hardly possible in American cities, with their broad avenues, brick buildings, and superior fire engines.

runaway game,

but a most enjoyable tussle from the start. Furthermore, by having the bridges numbered—and the thing can be done in ten minutes—a record can be kept if it be desired to play a rubber. A game consists of 24 bridges. The number of the bridge last taken by the loser, doubled, will show the number he has passed. This placed to his credit against the 24 of his adversary, shows the relative merit of the players which may change character when the average is taken of a rubber of five games.
