City and Neighborhood.

OUR Dry Goods merchants are still doing a large business in their line, and still the people from a distance of from 40 to 50 miles around, avail themselves of the advantages of the cheap market. At the door of each store, a magnificent display of goods is made each day. This large trade, be it remembered, has been drawn to this city, in a measure by the free use of printer's ink. If there are those who do not get a fair show of this trade, it is probably because they have not, through the medium of the press, extended an invitation to those wishing to purchase goods. It

"TRAVELER" is out in another communication in the Journal. It will receive attention to-morrow.

DOES IT PAY to print a circus advertisement on Tuesday, when it is not ordered to be published until Saturday? Advertisements must be scarce.

ROBINSON'S circus will be here on the 30th inst. The bills have been posted. We are informed that the present campany is a very fine one, and composed of some of the best performers in the United .States.

THE following named gentlemen, members of the press, were in attendance at the speaking last night: W. Halford, C. W. Stagg, J.H.Woodward, J. T.Long, all of the Indianpolis Journal W.H. Drapier, of the Indianapolis Sentinel and Cincinnati Enquirer E. G. Hall, of the Cincinnati Gazette J. (i. Pangborn, of the New \ork Tribune I. INI. Brown of the Sullivan Union and T. J. Cray, ol' the Brazil 3fincr.

At the meeting of candidates on the Republican county ticket on Saturday afternoon, in the rooms of the State Central Committee, for the purpose of devising ways and means to carry on the campaign, there was a full representation. —Indianapolis Journal.

Such a movement here would we think be a good idea. It is about time the candidates were up and doing something, most assuredly.

AMONG the gentlemen from abroad, and in attendance at the speaking last night were His Excellency, Governor Conrad Baker, Hon. Max F. A. Hoffman, Secretary of State, Col. J. B. Black, Reporter of the Supreme Court, and General Ben. Spooner, United States Marshal for the District of Indiana, General G. Iv. Steel, of Rockville, Major John G. Evans, Auditor of State, and S. Coulson, Esq., of Sullivan.

"SHOO FLY.—We appropriate the following, which first appeared, Ave believe, in the Xenia, O., Gazette. It is good: "A lady in one of our churches rested her head on the back of the pew in front, as devout people do in time of prayer but on the pew before her sat a young man who neither bowed nor kneeled. A beautiful plume nodded and danced on the fair one's head, occasionally touching the neck of the youth, who evidently thought it a fly or some other troublesome insect. For a time he bore the unpleasant sensation without a 1murmur but at last patience ceased to be a virtue, and from the flash of his eagle eye one could plainly see that the hour of 'that fly' had come. Instead of saying 'Shoo Fly, don't bodder me,' cautiously his hand moved toward the supposed offending insect then followed a frantic clutch and a spring behind him. Imagine the horror of the youth to find in his hand the nobby hat of the fair one which he had torn violently from her head, sadly disarranging the contour of the braids and chignon. The lady was indignant, of course, and the youth could have been purchased at an immense sacrifice about that time. Explanations and apologies followed, the disorganized was put in order as soon as possible, and the devotional exercises were resumed."

THE Dundee Courier states that the other day a lady appeared with a feathertrimmed costume, quill fringe her parasol was made to match, and the chapeau was composed of ostrich and vulture feathers, done off with marabout, the center ornament a tiny humming bird.

A CASE of feminine daring is related of a Virginia belle, who rode to the edge of a precipice and defied any man of the party witn whom she was riding to follow her. Not a man accepted the chal"^y ^|lenge, but a tantalizing youth stood on

his head in his saddle and dared the lady

to do that.

TIGfHT,

ENTHUSIASTIC

AU-

DIEKCE.

The Great Senator Still Vigorous in Mind.

Caustic Remarks of Governor Baiter.

According to previous notice, Hon. O. P. Morton spoke at the Wigwam last night. At an early hour the Wigwam was well filled, and the many people who came from abroad andj'rom the city were anxious to listen to Indiana's greatest and wisest Senator. It was, indeed, an occasion to call out the masses, for he who had so safely guided and governed the State of Indiana during the great rebellion, and despite the machinations of traitors at home, with the combined influence of traitors abroad, maintained the honor and credit of the State, was certainly entitled to a grand reception, an intelligent audience,and a hearing such as few men in this day and generation can get. We believe that Senator Morton vas proud of his audience, and we are sure that the audience were proud of him. Laboring under an infirmity that will follow him to his grave, with the same selfsacrificing devotion that led him to Avork in the interest of the State, during the rebellion, this truly great man, appeared, Avithall the powers of his great intellect, to speak in the interest of the party, under Avhose management, the lile of the nation had been preserved. This much by Avay of preface. After an excellent tune by Prot. Tout's Brass Band, Mr. L. A Burnett, chairman of the Central Committee, appeared on the stage, and introduced Senator Morton, AVIIO was receiA'ed Ayitli enthusiastic applause. We arc unable in the limit allowed, to give a full report of his speech, but Avill give the principle features, which Ave are sure AVill be read with interest by all. In substance Senator Morton said:

LA.DIKS ASD GENTIJE.AREJI: I have recently returned from Washington, much exhausted, from the duties ot a long and arduous session of Congress. I do not know that I Avill be able to make you hear This favor I ask, that you shall bo as quiet as possible. lie begun

is what

Ave

need, what

by con

gratulating the people on the prosperity of the country, and said that at no time had our country been so prosperous. There never Avas a time Avlien so much of the luxuries

ot life could be purchased at

little cost as at the present time. There never Avas a time Avhen labor was so honorable. As it is Avith the laborer, so it is Avith the body politic. The manuiacturers and all are most prosperous, and no such a time lias eARer been Avitnessed in this country. Look at your own growing and prosperous city. It is increasing its borders, and so I am told of all the cities. I am told that your city is noAV more prosperous than ever before. This is the case with all the cities in the Union. But there are some who are not satisfied. So there Avill be in all times. Look to the general business of the country. IT is now settling doAvn to a standard of stability.

Stability

Ave Avant. 1

to men of all parties, and ask if

Ave

are not

IIOAV settling doAvn to stability. Notwithstanding, our great prosperitj'l you Avill find these croakers, AVIIO AVIII complain, complain that tliey are not placed in office. I assert that the countiv is more prosperous now than at any time before. This to all must be apparent.

We have had strange questions arising out of this Avar. Certainly, no man believed that in 16 months, a paper dollar would be Avortli a dollar in gold, but Ave have about reached that point. We have those who will tell you that a fluctuating currency, Avould be better lor the people. This is false philosophy.

What we want at present, is that paper money should l^a made par Avith gold. This is coming on us. It is coming faster than I expected that it would, taster than you expected.

We have just escaped from a war. The traces are about all gone. I mean the material traces of the Avar. Certainly we can never forget the loss ot life, Ave cannot forget the brave men who fought for our country—the men AVIIO sacrificed their lives for the salvation of their gOA-ern-nient, but the material traces of the war are now about all gone. We may forgive, but Ave never can forget, and in many cases Ave ought not to lorgiA'o. The traitoi in the North ought not to be forgiven, nor ought he to bo trusted. I come not to you full ol passion, but to reason. Icome not to vou now as I did the last time I spoke in Terre Haute, to ask you to go to war, but to tell you of peace. If I ask for recruits, it is for the party of right, and not for war.

Politicians arc complaining of the debt, That debt Avas made to preserve the Union, but the Democrats of the North are largely responsible for that debt, and they are also responsible for the rebellion. But for the conduct of Northern Democrats and the hope they inspired in the breasts ol traitors, there would have been no rebellion, and no man in your district is more responsible for that Avar, and the debt, than your present Representative, Daniel W. Yoorhees. He made secession speeches, as all will remember, and at Charlottcville, Virginia, in 1860, he advocated the right of secession, the right of one State to dissolve its connection Avith the other States. Now, when a Northern man goes down South and argues secession to tlie young men of that part of the country, the Southern people are not so much to blame lor rebelling as those AVIIO incited them to rebellion. Go to any rebel, and lie will tell you that but for the encouragement given by Democrats at the North, they never would have engaged in rebellion at all, and but for the Democrats ot the North, after war had commenced, it would not have lasted two years. But all the time the Democrats gave the rebels hope, nor Avas it until 1S64 that this party, alter a defeat, gave up hope, and the enemy learned to distrust them. It Avas at that time that the hope died within them.

Not long since, Mr. Yoorhees made a speech in Indianapolis, designed especially for my annihilation, but you see I am here to-night. The speech was of the duration ot three hours, and there Avas not a fair statement in it regarding myself. I do not intend to answer all that speech. It would not be \vorth your while and mine to do so, and life is too short for such an undertaking. But I do noAv intend to call you attention to one particular point upon %v hich he expended some ten or tAvelve pages of this speech, and that is called the greenback question. Just a few words in regard to greenbacks:

On the 25th ot February, 1S62, Congress passed the first act authorizing the Issue of the first legal tender notes, commonly called greenbacks. The second act passed in January, 1863 and the third and last act passed March, 1S64. Since then there has been no act passed authorizing the issue of greenbacks.

Under these acts were some four hundred millions of greenbacks issued. Twenty-four millions of these bonds were contracted and retired trom circulation by Mr. McCulloch, Secretary of the Treasury, during Mr. Johnson's administration, leaving in circulation, as there now are, three hundred and sixty-five millions of greenbacks. We also have, as you all know, about three hundred millions of National bank notes based upon bonds and redeemable in greenbacks. But I speak noAV of the Legal Tender issued by the government. We have been trying ever since the Avar to bring these notes to par, starting at 68 or 70 cents, and brought them up till UOAV we have got them up to 92 and expect, if nothing happens, to have them at par in the course of six months. Now, if we follow the Democratic idea of finances we will find ourselves just where France was under similar circumstances. We have always intended to bring currency doAvn to par, and we shall succeed.

Under the great Loan Bill, as it is called, in 1864, under which the most of the bonds were issued now outstanding, it was provided that the whole number of greenbacks should not exceed four hundred millions. g. That was the pledge given to the bond*

•litSSfSl

holders and "to fhoso from whom we ex pected to borroAv money under the great Loan bill ot 1863, and it was then believed that the pledge was sufficient guarantee for all the money necessary to be borroAved to carry on the Avar. This guaranty Avas given. It is| still unrepealed and is standing now as it Avas before. That is my general statement in regard to the general conditions ot the greenback question.

NOAV I come to Mr. Yoorhees. Mr. Pendleton thought he had made the discovery in 1S67, that the National debt could be paid without it costing anybody anything. Certainly that Avas a desirable thing. But, since he Avas slaughtered in the Democrat-

Convention in '68—all will remember it —he has abandoned the whole thing. But, Mr. Yoorhees takes it up and would make you believe that the great burden of the people can be removed at once, lhat ho lias found a Avay by expending a lew tiiousand dollars in ink and papei, and printing, and that this great debt can be paid by simply putting the Democratic party in poAver.

Now I have heard something like this before. You have all seen advertisements in neAVspapers to the effect that if you Avould send the advertiser a dollar, he would send you a great secret, by Avhich you could make a large fortune, and become suddenly rich. NOAV such advertisements are meant to catch green-horns, and it is said that some green-horns are thus caught. This is called a "confidence game," and Avhenever a man comes to you and says that he has found a Avay to pay the public debt, without its costing anybody anything, remember that is intended for a green-horn, and nobody else. The National debt can only be paid in an honest Avay, just as you Avould pay yonr honest debts, and if politicians tell you it can be paid Avithout taxing the people, they are attempting to practice a "confidence game." ...

Mr. A'oorhees made a speech in Indianapolis on the 8th ot January last, at the Democratic convention, and on that occasion he declared himself in favor of using enough of paper money, to pay off the old 5-20 bonds—and said that there Ave re but fifteen hundred millions of these bonds, so he proposed issuing greeenbaeks to pay that amount. Now gentleman, I read from a speech made January 8th by Mr. Yoorhees. He said: "I am sometimes charged Avith being good at tearing down the plans of others. Bear with me a few moments longer. We liavenoAV outstanding fifteen hundred millions of these 5-20 bonds, payable at the end of five and twentv years from the time they ware issued. The five years have about expired and they are to be paid at any time in the next fifteen years.

My plan is to pay in one hundred millions this year and one hundred millions next year. As it were, sprinkle it all through the next fifteen years, issuing currency to redeem." Shortly alter that he made a speech in the House ot Representatives, in Avhich he proposed the issue of one thouand millions of greenbacks, but his notions in regard to the currency question Avere so A'ague, that it does not seem to make much difference whether the currency is one, or ten thousand millions of greenbacks. Now, Avhat would be the effect of all this? It would swindle the creditors of the Government, and Avould^ destroy the value of a large amount of the currency of the countryIt would not be Avorth the paper it is printed on.

This was Mr. Pendleton's plan, and in 1878 it slaughtered him in the Democratic Convention, jusc as it ought to slaughter any man AV lio* favors it. It Avill be remembered that when he Avas a candidate for Governor in 1869, lie abandoned the Avhole plan, feeling that it Avas impracticable,but noAv Mr. Yoorhees brings that theory lorAvard in Indiana in 1S70.

Mr. Yoorhees, after having stated his position in Indianapolis, in l'aAror of the issue of this vast amount of currency to pay the national debt, he then said the unkindest thing about ine ho eA'er said—that I endorsed it. There is not a Avord of truth in the statement. I liaAre always denounced the Pendleton theory from first to last, and Mr. Voorliees knows it.

The grounds I took in the Senate are these that which I believe to be the laAV I take the ground that the original greenbacks issued in 1S62 and 1863 —issued before the bonds Avere sold, and Avith Avhich the bonds Avere bought by the people with these greenbacks, when it is provided that the GoArernment had the right to issue thorn for the redemption of the 5-20's.

Shortly after General Grant came into poAver, and it was decided that the Government had the right to issue new greenbacks. After the bonds had been sold, I denounced it then, as I do now, as being nothing but repudiation.

Ifyou issue greenebacks to pay the debt, you Avill inflate the currency, and the time will soon be that a hat full of it will not be Avortli more than a dollar. Mr. Yoorhees thinks that by so doing, in 15 years the debt Avill be paid, but are Ave yet to suffer a depreciation of the currency for 15 years All the Avork of the past Avill have to bo gone over again. Fifteen years of suffering and then it may be redeemed. I say that it cannot be done. It will bankrupt the Nation, and I denounce the scheme, as being but a subterfuge for rea 1

Mr. Yoorhees denounces the bond-hold-ers. I own no bonds, but Avish I did. Tliey are convenient to have. But who are the bond-holders? They are the men who risked their money on the government for tho preservation of the Union. They risked it in defiance to the advice of all the Democrats in Vigo couutj', and all over the country. At that time the Democrats hated the government, and hated the men Avho loned the government money hated the government because they were not in power. Democratic politicians always hate the government Avhen not in power themselves.

The distinguished speaker then passed to the subject of the tariff, and^ remarked that Ave have always had a tariff, and must alAvays have it, or must have direct taxation. It is idle to talk of abolishing the tariff. We have to raise millions of money to defray the expenses of the overnment. This Ave must have. This we cannot clo without. There are several kinds of tariff. First, a prohibitory tariff Avhich Avould prevent the importation of all goods from a foreign country. Certainly that Avould not do, for Ave Avant fair competition.

Mr. Kerr, of this State, proposed a tariff on such articles as wo clo not produce, but I Avill show you that his theory is not at all practicable. This

this country is a fair competition. I am for protecting the manufacturers and laborers at home. In this country labor is much higher than in England, but to reduce or take off the tariff,

be to place labor

people,and our own country. I believe that the farmer who has a home market for his products is benefitted above those Avho have not. It is better for the farmer to sell his Avheat at §1.50 per bushel at home than to transport it to New York, for,I am informed that it costs about the price of one bushel out of every three, to transport that article to New York,and certainly much more to England. Certainly it is to our interest to

and plainly, and I do not

to be mis

represented on this question. There is yet one thing that

Ave

must attend to, and

that is to secure cheap transportation. In due course of time this will be attended to. When that

effected, you will be

placed in a FEAV days of the New York market—and certainly this is desirable* The Democratic politicians tell you that you are taxed. Well, we have reduced the taxation §80,000,000 in the last 16 months. Is not that better than many Democratic speeches? We have reduced the taxation to as IOAV a standard as can be, and the expenses of the government be defrayed. We have abolished stamps on receipts, notes of less than $100, and on all articles except tobacco and Avhiskey, and have reduced the tax on these articles also. We have reduced the tariff on tea, sugar and coffee, articles which are of daily consumption by all classes of people, and that reductions amounts to 923,000,000. The tariff' on coffee has been reduced from 5 to 3 cents, and on pig iron from 9 to 7 cents, and all this is done to create a fair competition. We hear of cora-

laints of Congress, and yet this Congress reduced taxation $80,000,000 in 16 months. All this has been brought about

by the Rf publican party, not one Democrat A*oted for the bill, not one gave the measure support.

The Democratic party resolved that tea, sugar and coffee should be put on the free list, but Avhen the bill for the redu tion of the tariff on these articles Avas put on its final passage not one of them voted for it. This reduction was made by the Republican party, and is it not Avorth one hundred Democratic speeches. This is Avhat the Republican party has been doing for you in the Avay of reducing the taxes. [The speaker then read an article from the New York World to prove that the Democratic party opposed the bill reducing the tax on tea, sugar and coffee. It is too long for us to copy.]

The speaker continued: The Democrats appear to have but one rule of action, and that is to oppose all things the Republicans are in fa\-or of. They wanted the tariff taken off of tea, sugar and coffee, but when the bill was proposed to reduce that tax, they ojjposed it, not one Aroting for it. They Avere clamorous for a reduction of the tariff on iron, but not one voted for the bill reducing it. In the matter of tariff the Republicans have laid it on such articles as will affect the poor people least. That has been their policy all the Avhile.

The speaker then took up the fundiug bill. What is a funding bill he inquired. It is a bill for the purpose of reducing the rate of interest on the public debt. The time has come Avhen money can be borrowed at a less rate of interest than when the money Avas borrowed to carry on the war. It is proposed to charge the old bonds for new ones, in other words to pay them off according to contract, and issue neAV ones at a less rate of interest. Certainly this Avould not hurt any one. It is not a dishonest transaction assuredly. But, strange to say, not one democrat voted in favor of the funding bill, by which so large amount of interest is saved on the public debt. They complain about the debt, the interest on that debt, taxation, the tariff, &c., and yet on the proposition to reduce taxation, none Avere for it, and on the proposition to reduce the interest on the debt, not one voted for the bill. The money Avhich has been collected has been honestly applied to payment of the public debt. But you ask, Avhy was not all this done before I will tell you. We had a Republican Congress, but not a Republican administration. Johnson's administration Avas as throughly Democratic as that of Buchanan or Pierce. During the last sixteen months the increaseof the revenue over the sixteen months of Johnson's administration exceeds that more than $32,000,000. That much has been saved, and it is applied to the payment of the public debt. It must be remembered, too, that during the sixteen months ot Johnson's administration, Avith Av-hich the comparison is made, the tax on Avhisky was §2 per gallon. On customs Ave have saved more than $51,000,000, and in that length of time decreased the public debt ,^139,000,000, and at the same rate the debt will bo paid off in less than fifteen years. The Republican party have accomplished this, reduced your taxes §80,000,000, and yet Democratic politicians tell you that you are taxed so high. In the presence of these facts, all Democratic arguments fail. Grant has done all he could, but has not been able to get all of' Johnson's appointees out yet, but he Avill accomplish that soon.

Are not these great results something to you? Yet, Avith all these results, you are now asked to turn the Republican party out of power, and put the Democratic party in, just to give them a chance to redeem themselves, I suppose. At the close of Buchanan's administration, the treasury Avas empty—the navy Avas scattered—the arms of the Government Avere all sent into the territory of the rebels—but IIOAV, I suppose, that for all these mistakes, they want to haA-e a chance to redeem their record. It is the only thing that commends them to the consideration of the

But, Ave have not onlv paid off this large amount of the National debt, but, Avliat has been going on in the nation, has been "•oing on with regard to the State debt. At Flic present time there is in the Treasury, about nine or ten hundred thousand dollars, and tho debt is about eleven hundred thousand dollars. With the revenue from the sinking fund, «fcc., we will have enough money to pay that debt, and have near half a million left in the Treasury. Governor Baker has given notice to parties holding the bonds, that the money is ready for them, but they are not anxious to take it 1-Ie has also informed them that after the 1st of September the interest on the State debt shall stop. This has all been accomplished by the Republican party, and I say that Indiana has been the best governed State in the Union for the past ten years. The great debt created by the war has been Daid off, and the country is now prosperous, but for all this the democratic politicians cry out the people are taxed. In a speech in Vincenncs a short time ago, Senator Hendricks admitted all the facts stated here, but he said that if it has been done the people lia\re been taxed to do it.

Mr. Morton delt at length on this subject, delaring that Ave IIOAV had a larger school fund than any State in the Union, had built a State Normal School building, finished the Northern State Prison, erected the House of Refuge, and paid the public debt, and yet in view of all these facts, tho Democrats, he said, ask you to turn the Republicans out, and put them in power.

He next took up the subject of the Fifteenth Amendment. Mr. Yoorhees has declared that it was adopted permanently, and Democrats Avould make you believe that it can be repealed, but you had as well attempt to dam up the Mississippi river Avith a straAV. The Republican party is a party of freedom, and it has freed from bondage 400,000 slaves, and established equal rights to all, Avhite and black. After that it Avas but fair to give them all the right to vote. But, after the war, great many people who had lived Avith negroes all their lives Avliile they Avere slaves, disccovered that the negro as a voter Avas very offensive. But has the Fifteenth Amendment done anybody any harm? Are any persons injured by it? Politicians go about the counrty and appeal to the basest prejudices of man and attempt to prejudice the minds of the people against the negro. But it is strange how they some times talk. In a speech at NeAV Orleans, Senator Hendricks, after the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment, advised the Democrats to conciliate the negro, and to court his vote, and said many things in favor of the negro. In a speech at LaFayette not long since, he denounced the Fifteenth Amendment, all of which gees to prove that Demicracy may be one thing in one place, and another thing in another place.

Mr. Yoorhees has charged that Repulican papers have said, "Let the Dutch go we have the negroes wow." Has any Republican paper ever said that? Not one. The Germans are a free aud independent people. They are in tavor freedom, and hence Avhen they come to this country, they naturally attach themselves to the freedom party. The Republican party is also a great reform party, and it proposes great reformations. But one thing at a time. After the financial and other questions are settled, it will be time enough to talk about reform.

The Republican party has much yet to do. It has not completed the Avork of Reconstruction. The State of Georgia has been admitted it is true but there is much yet to be done. There is a deep feeling there against the colored men, and it will take time to work out the problem of reconstruction. The Senator closed his remarks, thanking the audience for attention. We have given main features of his his speech, Avliich Avill be sufficient for the general reader.

After he had concluded his speech, Governor Conrad Baker was loudly called for, and made a short speech, full of happy hits at the Democracy. He was loudly and enthusiastically applauded. We have never heard the Governor when he appeared in such line spirits, nor more prone to talk. We regret that we have not space for his feAV remarks.

He was followed by Rev. W. W. Curry, who entertained the audience for a few moments, and then announced that there would be speaking at the Wigwam on Saturday night.

DRILL!

(Kuhn, th? celebrated Drill Inventor's Inst and best.)

A Force Feed Drill, Operated by Spur Gearing.

NO LOOSE COG WHEELS ABOUT IT!

Impossible to Choke it—The Feed Changed in One Second—Will Sow Any Kind of Grain or Seed, Whether Clean or Foul!

The grain is distributed by means of small double spiral feed wheels working in cups under the hopper these Avlieels carry the grain upwards to a discharge opening in the cup and orce it out, and Avith it force out slimes and other obstructions. It is utterly impossible to choke it, and as evidence of this fact the wheat we have in our sample machine is half chaff, and by turning tlie Avlieel it is carried through as weil as clean wheat.

It Avill sow any kind of grain, aud in any iuamity desired. In other force feed drills to change the feed you remove one cog wlieel and pnt in another and the cog wheels are loose and liable to be lost. In the

FARMERS'FRIEMI*

the wheels are all fastened to the drill, and the feed is changed by bj/simpti/ mitring a small lever it is done in one second.
