Hand Financiering. an expression used by Senator his Torre Huuto speech. He
said in reference to the pretended claim that the Republicans have paid the State debt-—that they had extinguished the State debt "Republicans do not make arty claim of hand financiering." As the Court organ is fond of making enquiries we will propose a few. It is well known that Mr. Morton came to Indianapolis afUr his election as Lieutenant Governor in 18G0 in very straightened circumstances. In fact he was compelled to draw upon his friends to make the canvass of that year. In this connection wo ask how it was that Mr. Morton, on the salary of Governor, which was insufficient to meet his personal expenses, became a wealthy man—one of the money aristocrats of Indiana It will be interesting for the people to know the waj lie made his patriotism such a profitable investment,
What did Mr. Morton do with the $25,000 remitted to liini by the direction of the President, early in the war?
How did lie obtain the tine farm he bought in Wayne county about the close of the war, but perhaps held in the name of friend
How did he obtain the large tracts of Iowa lands, held, perhaps, in the name of another party.
What does the box, securely locked, deposited with a banker in this city, contain? And why should he give positive instructions that
110
one should be per
mitted to examine the contents of that box, except in liis presence, even if they had his written order? Does it not contain a large amount of Government bonds, the cupons upon which he clips every six mouths, and gets his gold interest Does r. Morton hold so many bonds that lie withholds the knowledge of their amount, for fear that the information mi^iit excite unpleasant inquiries as to the mariner by which they were acquired?
What consideration induced Mr. Morton to vote for the San Domingo treaty— a measure that Senator Pratt voted against? Was M*\ Morton in the "ring" that had contracted for the Dominican debt at a low figure
Why is it that Mr. Morton has the reputation of being approachable when any job is up in the Senate that can afford to pay for the influence of Senators?
When tnese questions are fairly answered, we have a lot more to propose in regard to the immaculacy of the great war ex-Governor.—Indianapolis Sentinel.
The Indianapolis Sentinel, the able organ of the Democratic party in this State, certainly would not make such base and dishonorable insinuations against the private character of one of Indiana's most distinguished citizens, unless it had proofs to sustaiu those insinuations. If it would, no honorable man in the State, in any parly, can possibly have any respect for what it does in the future say, on any subject.
In order therefore, that the Sentine may have an opportunity of supporting those insinuations by whatever proofs it may have, we transfer the above article to the columns of the GAZETTE, with the following comments and assertions, and pledge ourselves as being able to show, that each insinuation separately, touching the honor or honesty of Senator Morton, is false, and that altogether, they are libelous in the highest degree.
Oliver P. Morton, when he made the canvass of this State in I860, was not a rich man, though not so poor as indicated by the Sentinel, and he never did "become wealthy" off of the salary of Governor, or in any other way—nor is he now "tine of the money aristocrats of Indiana."
The $25,000 remitted to him by the direction of the President early in the war— if such a thing ever occurred—was used in preparing the State to defend itself, and the General Government, against rebels.
He never bought a tine farm in Wayne county "about the close of the war." One Mr. Roves, bought of one Mr. Jones the line farm referred to, and one George W. Julian, the life-time enemy of Gov. Morton, said that the farm belonged to him. That is all there is in this, and the records of the county of Wayne will sustain what we here say.
Gov. Morton has no large tracts of land in Iowa, "held in the name of another," and we demand the proof.
The box which is "securely locked," and deposited in bank, contains the private papers of the Senator, and there is not one Government bond in-it, noms he the owner of one of the bonds of the United States.
He never was offered, and, of course, couhi not receive, a consideration for voting for the
San Domingo treaty,amy more
than did Senator Pratt receive a consideration for voting against it. Senator Morton has no such reputation as is indicated in the last paragraph but one of the Sentinel's article. On the contrary, his reputation at Washington is above reproach, and no man has ever dared to "approach" him, as a Senator, with a dishonorable proposition.
Now, we have answered these insinuations, and insist, before the editor of the Sentinel "proposes" more questions of this kind, he will sustain with the proof, what he has here so maliciously and unmanly, insinuated, is true.
There Were twenty cases of sunstroke in Baltimore Monday. Four fatal.

THE Terre Haute Journal in one of its most extutic periods in relation to Sena" tor Morton, works itself up to the proper height and then says, "we demand to know where he got the power which he has been using to the disadvantage of this great .State and a satisfactory explanation of many of his other wrong acts and misdeeds." Where he got the "power"—that's a stunner. That cannot be answered. That puzzles the brain, and overwhelms the reason. We give it up. However, if our recollection serves us, he was elected by the people as the Governor of the State, and by them U. S. Senator. It may be he got his "power" in this way. And we are inclined to the belief, that the great "wrong acts and misdeeds" he ever committed, were in sending a loyal soldiery, to whip the darling rebel friends of the editor of the Journal. Such "acts and misdeeds" as this will never be forgiven by Democratic editors. This was the greatest "of his many other wrongs."
Senator Morton has locomotion.—Journal.

Buthe has the power to think—just what the Democratic candidate for Congress, has not. Some men's "power" lies in their heads,—others in their legs. Some have brains—others none.

Telegrams between Secretary Fish and Minister WnsEibumc—Cabinet Session— 1.4UO Barrels of Wiilsky Ileieased.
WASHINGTON, July 19—Minister Wasliburne telegraphed to Secretary Fish today that he had just returned to Paris. The Secretary telegraphed to him, at the request of the North German Government, to permit our legation to extend to subjects of the former the same degree of personal protection in France, as was extended to French subjects in Mexi by our legation in that Republic, the request at that time coming from Baron Monstier, French Minister of Foreign Affairs.
It is regarded as somewhat singular that this request of the North German Government was made on the same da of the same month—July 19— as the request of the French to our Government in 1867.
Secretary Fish has not, contrary to report, telegraphed to our various legatit ns to observe neutrality in the pending
Avar
nor any instructions whatever. The Cabinet session to-day, which was the last for two weeks unless some extraordinary emergency should arise, was at tended by all the members, and was not extended beyond the usual hour. The Postmaster General remained some time after the other members had left, engaged in transacting business with the President.
It appears in the conversation .in reference to the J£uropean complication, that the Government had no further information concerning the situation than is contained in the cable dispatches to the press.

Serious Accident at a Tub Knee.
PATERSON, N. J., July 18.—During a tub race in Paterson to-day, somebody had gotten Mr. Vanderhaven, of the Paterson Guardian, into a boat and were trying to duck him in the river. As the rest had been anxious to see anybody get the best of Van, the crowd rushed upon the balcony at the rear of the depot,*"bver the water. The balcony is but thirty or forty feet long, but there were jammed upon it over two hundred people, many of whom were ladies. The weight of the great throng was too much for the piazza, and with a crash the balcony, with its load of human freight, fell into the river below, a distance of nearly twenty feet. Over a hundred and fifty men, women and children went down,
The exciement was fearful. Shrieks of the wounded and the cries of the affrighted women created consternation, for, although the water was not deep, many had fainted and many were buried under the ruins.
The horror-stricken multitude and the members of the club who had fortunately escaped, immediately plunged into the water to the rescue of the struggling victims, and in a few minutes all were taken from the water. To the astonishment ol' all, none were killed, and considering the nature of the accident, there were but few injured. The water was discolored with blood, and it is surprising that several persons were not killed.
A young man, son of Mr. Henry Marshall, was badly hurt in the head and his arm was broken. It is thought he must die. His mother was badly hurt.
About twenty others were more or less injured, being bruised by pieces of the balcony, or trampled under foot by the crowd on top. Several were rescued just in time to escape drowning.

Governor Ho'den Refuses to Kespect Writs ol' Habeas Corpus—l'roininent Citizens Arrested.
RALEKUI, July 19.—The counsel for the citizens arrested in Allemance county by Kirk, who, by order of Governor Holden, refuses to regard writs of habeas corpus issued in their behalf, argued the matter before the Chief Justice to-day.
The issue involved, seems to be whether an attachment shall be issued against the Governor or Kirk.
News received here this afternoon states that Graham, the county seat of Alemance county, has been placed under martial law by Kirk. The court house was seized, and the whole town strictly guarded. A military commission has been organized, consisting mainly of Kirk and his officers, to try the citizens now under arrest.
Additional news has been received that Hon. John Kerr, Hon. P. Hill, Sheriff Griffith, and several other prominent Conservative citizens of Caswell county, were arrested at Yancyville, yesterday, by Kirk. The Congressional candidates in that district were speaking in the court house when Kirk surrounded it with soldiers and made the arrests.

The Kiowas and Cheyenne** Marauding— tirierson After Tljem—Kavages of Hie Small Pox.
WASHINGTON, July 19.—General Grierson writes from Fort Sill, Indian Territory, June 24th, that small parties of Kiowa and Cheyenne Indians made an attack on several parties killing one man, but retreating when encountering well armed parties. They escaped the pursuit of Grierson's forces sent alter them.
A party of white thieves attempted to steal horses from Grierson's squad, and being foiled in their attempt escaped.
Grierson recommends that a strong force be sent to the plains, between the Salt and north banks of the Red river, where the Kiowa and Cheyennes are encamped, in order to protect the Indians who desire to separate from the war tribes.
OMAHA, July 19.—Advices received here to-day from the vicinity of Milk River give the particulars of the terrible ravages of the small-pox among the Gros Ventres Indians. An Indian died with this disease and the Indians dug him up to get his blanket, and so the infection spread through their camps, and within a few days 950 Indians, out of 1,900 died. A shirt infected was left on the trail of the Piegan Indians by a man named De Roche, which caused the ravages among that tribe. The robes in which the Indians were buried were exhumed and sold to traders, and report says that a car load of these small-pox robes are at Unitah station on the U. P. R.R., awaiting inspection before being forwarded East.

PARIS, July 19.—The morning journals say the Prussians now in France will not be expelled from the country if they observe strict neutrality.
No diplomat, or other foreigner, will be allowed in the French camp. LaLiberte, Theirs' party organ, gives the following programme:
The army will first enter Hesse, to neutralize the Southern States of Germany then occupy and fortify Frankfort from this point will sweep all the Prussian territory to the left of the Rhine then enter Prussia via Westphalia, and the occupation of the edge of the Renish Confederation will follow.
The Pays, of this morning, says that the Prussian Embassador at Vienna, now here in passage, started last night for Berlin with an official declaration of war.
The Journal de Soir says that Wasliburne, the American Minister, has .'greed to protect the Prussian subjects now in France, and adds that Washburne has certainly not made such a promise without the consent of the French Government.
The Emperor yesterday received a deputation of officers of the National Guard of Paris, and in response to their congratulations, said he relied upon the National Guards, for upon them devolved the protection of the Capital during the war:
Baron Rothschild, who was drawn as a member of the jury of the High Court, did not attend, and was fined five thousand francs.

Bismarck wished to make that generous and illustrious little nation submit as the Danish Duchies were forced to submit. He wished to render Holland a naval State of the North German Confederation, and, under the pretext of establishing closer commercial relations, to place Prussian custom officers at Amsterdam.
The partiotic emotion aroused in the Netherlands at the time of the Luxemborg affair, will also be remembered. Nor will it be forgotten that, without the firm stand taken by France, the Prussian policy would have had results fatal to the independence and harmony of the Netherlands.

LONDON, July 19.—The French ironclads are cruising on the Dagger bank, in the North Sea, to pick up German vessels.
The German press is filled with seemingly unaffected complaints of the falsehood and trickery by which France seeks to place the responsibility of beginning the war on Germany.
The Shipping Gazette thinks Germany fortunate because so many of their merchant vessels were bought from Americans during the recent rebellion, and which may now be covered by American flag's.
The London Post is skeptical touching the news received from France and Prussia. It asserts that the bulk of dispatches are sent by speculators.

"When Mr. Motley left this country for England, he received instructions oil the principal question at issue between the two Governments, which instructions were not in consonance with certain views expressed by Mr. Motley prior to his departure, and which views were disapproved when they were first made known. On his arrival in England Mr. Motley submitted to Lord Clarendon the views which had been disapproved here, and omitted to submit the views which had been impressed upon him by his Government. This produced a feeling of dissatisfaction here, and from that moment the question of his recall has been simply a question of time. He has been allowed to remain from considerations of a personal character, among which the permanent nature of his domestic arrangements has been one. Some time since he was informed that his resignanation would be accepted, and he was requested to answer by cable. To this Mr. Motley, made no answer whatever. Subsequently an

If the removal of Mr. Motley was desirable or necessary, whether for diplomatic or personal reasons, there can be no doubt as to the fitness of Mr. Frelingbuy sen to be his successor. We are not likely soon to have another Mr. Adams as our representative at London. But without diplomatic experience, Mr. Frelinghuvsen's acquirements and abilities are generally recognized, and his course in the Senate was marked by a dignity, moderation and judgement which won for him influence and respect. He is a good type of the American gentleman, with an instinctive fairness and a moral strength which will not be without weight in England.— N. Y. Tribune. tt

Onr Foreign Trade.
Mr. Wells, late commissioner of revenue, takes a less favorable view of the state of our foreign trade than some authorities have done, or than the figures that were lately presented led us to believe was justifiable. His figures and statements, however, show a great improvement in the merchandise account with foreigh countries for the last fiscal year. But the balance which he figures up against us on the foreign trade is 8182,000,000, which has been reduced by an exportation of about 25,060,000 of specie, leaving a net increase of European indebtedness of §157,000,000. This has probably been balanced by the sale of National and State securities and railroad bonds. The amount of American obligation's of all kinds now held in Europe is probably not less than $1,500,000,000. Upon these facts the Evening Post says very trulyj
This is not in itself alarming. If as much more real productive capital were taken from European accumulations and brought to this country, we could well afford to pay large interest for its use, and should be all the richer for our debt. But it is true that it is the same with nations as with individuals, the practice of borrowing money and living on it leads to poverty. A great foreign debt, too, subject-?our whole financial system to danger from commercial or political panics beyond our own territory. It is only by the complete establishment of our"credit in the markets of the world that this danger can be averted.
IN his Life of Bentinck, Disraeli devotes a chapter to the defense of his race —and it is the most terse, logical, complete and sweeping defense ever made of the Jews: Every sentence is an epigram, and every paragraph is an argument. New facts are presented with telling force, and old tacts are shown in strikingly new relations. No man can read it without feeling a new reverence for the mysterious race which ages of persecution and obloquy have failed to repress, or without anew respect for the man who stands up so valiantly for the faith ami historical greatness of his fathers, while yielding a frank and full assent to the Divine humanity of the Lord, and regretting that a great portion of the Jewish race "should not believe in the most important part of the Jewish religion." And thus he sums up his reverential faith in his people: "The Jewish race connects the modern populations with the early ages of the world, when the relations of the Creator with the created were more intimate than in these days when angels visited the earth, and God himself even spoke with man. They area living wild most striking evidence of falsity of that pernicious doctrine of modern times—the natural equality of man."
