which,

although a State tax, and paid into the State Treasury, was immediately distributed back to the counties according to the number of school children in each, for the purpose of carrying on the free schools of the State.

I hope the Democracy will excuse us for not having imitated their example in applying these school taxes to a purpose difierent from that for which they were C0ll6Ct€d.

Thus you see I have effectually disposed of the Sentinel's sham tabular statements, as to the increase of taxation under Republican as compared with Pern ocratic rule.

AGENTS OF STATE.

Now let us give a little more attention to the financial lame ducks ot the Indiana Democracy. Look for a moment at some of their Agents of State.

Our wealthy townsman, Captain J. M. Lord, retired from that office in the beginning of the year 1859, I believe. If Colonel Norman Eddy, thepresentDemocratic candidate for Secretary of State, may be believe, Mr. Lord, upon his re^ tirement from office, forgot to pay over a balance of funds in his hands belonging to theState, amounting to$10,359 85. By a joint resolution passed by the Legislature in 1859, Norman Eddy, Jehu T. Elliott and William T. Otto were appointed a committee to investigate and report as to divers claims supposed to be due the State from sundry persons. In the repoit of these Commissioners, which you will find in the Documentary Journal of 1861, on page 25G, it is said that, upon their calling Mr. Lord's attention to the fact that the books of the Auditor of State showed that he owed this amount, he expressed the confident belief that the sum charged to him was too much, and asked for time to make an examination, which he said would have to be made in New York.

The Commissioners gave him time without objection but when the Commission met again months afterwards, Mr. Lord had made no investigation, and concluded to settle at the figures shown by the Auditor's books, provided he could get time, and this being granted, he executed to the State his three notes with security, each for $3,695, payable at one, two and three years with interest and it is due to Mr. Lord to say that he paid these notes at maturity. But the complaint is that Mr. Lord, by wrongfully applying the State's money to his own use, coerced the State to grant him a long loan at a low rate of interest at a time when the State officials were selling the redeemed bonds of the State at twothirds oi their par value to get money with which to pay the interest on the foreign debt of the State and to carry on theState government. If the credit of the State was so low, arul the roputation of the administration so unenviable that it was necessary to sell the redeemed bonds of the State at two-thirds of their par value to get money to carry on the State government, surely the State was in no condition to lend money to Democratic exofficials' on one, two and three years' time at six per cent, interest. It was, however, just because such transactions passed for orthodox Democracy, and were common, that the State was as destitute of credit as it was possible for a State to be.

Mr. Lord was succeeded in the office of Agent of State by Colonel James A. Cravens, who had for his deputy D.

C. Stover,

an Indiana Democrat hailing from the county of Montgomery. Mr. Cravens resigned, and Governor Willard appointed this man Stover his successor.

STOVER FRAUDS.

In 1861, Colonel R. N. Hudson was elected as the Republican successor of Stover, and soon discovered that he (Stover) had fraudulently issued a large number of five per cent, certificates of Indiana State stocks. Mr. Hudson used every effort in his power to get these stocks surrendered by the holders to whom tliey had been hypothecated fnrSfovov'o benefit, so that uiey might be cancelled without that injury to the credit of the State which the public knowledge of their issue would be sure to involve. Colonel Hudson succeeded in securing and cancelling about a million and a half of these fraudulent, Democratic, Stover bonds but the public having got information of their issues, no more of the fraudulent bonds could be procured for cancellation the genuine stocks of the State were excluded from the New York Board of Brokers, and Indir ana five per cents fell from ten to twenty per cent. Some weeks ago, in a short speech which I made at Tipton, I stated the amount of these fraudulent issues at $2,300,000, and I was afterwards informed that a Democratic official of Tipton county had offered to beta Republican $100, that I had not told the truth in that regard. I am gald my Republican friend did not take the bet, for I had not really told the whole truth on the subject. I now amend the statement aud give the amount of these issues as having been about $2,440,000 and quote as my authority for the statement, the report of Hon. Joseph E. McDonald, which will be found in the Journal of the House of Representatives of the Regular Session of 1805, commencing on page 643. The General Assembly at its session in 1863, passed a concurrent resolution authorizing the Governor, Auditor andTrearurer of State to appoint a commissioner to investigate these fraudulent issues and to procure their surrender and cancellation.

Mr. McDonald was appointed under said resolution, and reported to Governor Morton in January, 1S65, and it is to this report that I refer. In this report, at page 645, of the House Journal, already cited, in speaking of these fraudulent certificates of stock, Mr. McDonald says, "they were simply forgeries, having been countersigned in the name of the Agent of State not at the time in office, and were issued after the repeal of the law authorizing the use of the blanks which were filled up."

Mr. McDonald succeeded in getting quite a number of these fradulent certificates surrendered for cancellation but, according to his report, there are still outstanding certificates to the amount of $7S4,000. Stover is still a Democrat in good standing, and as much in favor of reform as any Marion countv Domoerat dare to le.

I have already shown by quoting from Mr. McDonald's report that this transaction on the part of Stover was a forgery, pure and simple. The offense having, however, been committed in New York, the offenders could only be prosecuted there. Governor Morton accordingly caused Stover and his confederate, Hal1ett to be indicted in the city of New York and to render the Democracy of the entire transaction unquestionable, a .Democratic New York court quashed the indictments on the ground that it was no offense to forge Indiana ..certificates stock in New York!

JOHN C'. WAIJKEK.

Colonel Hudson was succeeded in Agency by Colonel John C. Walker, whose labors in the dissemination of Sunday school literature have Igiven him a notoriety continental in its proportions. His labors in that department of the .. Democratic vineyard made it ineonveniant for him to be at IudUuiapolis at the session of the Legislature commencing in January, 1865, and ^heace we have no. report of his official proceedings as Agent of State. Alt that we know about him is derived from the statements of his Republican successor, Judge Buskirk, made in his reof November 1,1866. Documentary

Journal, 1867, part 1, page 4. Judge Buskirk, after saying that he took possession rv0{ the Agency on the 21st day of February, 1865, uses this language: "Col. John W .' C. Walker, my predecessor, was not present in person to deliver to me the posses-

f*l!e

siolf of the office, bnt was- represented by his brother. Mr. James Walker, who paul i. 'n.„ vfi. This over to me the sum of $11,832 76. he represented as the

clined

amountjdue

State fronx_Col. Walker after deducting ten thousand thousand dollars for two years .salary and the expenses of the Ao-ency. As I had no means at the time of°ascertaiJiiuff the true condition of Col. Walker's liabilities to the State, I de

to give a receipt in full, but reeipted for the amount, paid over." This exhibits a new Democratic short hand system of book-keeping as far removed* from every thing like red tape as it is possible for such a transaction to be. Instead of drawing his salary and expenses through the accounting officers of the State, he dispenses with such old fogy formalities and audits his own accounts and retains out of the fund placed in his hands for an entirely different purpose, his salary, and what he _himself decides to be right for his expenses. This system of accounting has this advantage, that there is no room for dispute over any particular item, there being but one item in the account, viz: $10,000 for salary and expenses. I think it probable the Marion county Reformers had Colonel John C. Walker's improved system of book-keep-ing and accounting in view when they adopted the exceedingly sagacious plan ot replenishing the county treasury byrequiring the county officers to donate to flm oil tlioir fro« t'nn t.hpvshflll

tlie county all of their fees that they shall not need themselves. If Walker was here, I have

110

doubt he would be

a reformer and support the ticket. In 1841 an old gentlemen, who was a member of the Legislature^ who was anxious to relieve the people of the State of the pecuniary pressure which then rested upon them, introduced a bill in the House of Representatives proposing to issue to the people a sufficieiit quantity of State scrip to enable all the people to pay all their debts, and every man was to have just as much as he needed and no more, and if any one took more than he needed it was to be a penitentiary offense. The Reformer.*, when they are elected, are to pay over to^tlie Court House fund the fees which they-do not need, and if they keep more than they need they are to be visited with the displeasure of the Democratice party.

I have glanced at the official fidelity of the last three Democratic Agents of State and I invite the Democracy to search the record of the Republicans who. have held the same office for any similar instances of malfeasance in office. Colonel Hudson, Judge Buskirk, Judge Gresliam, and Judge Slaughter have all held the position, and it is only by comparing official action that a just judgment can be formed. CLOSING OF BENEVOLENT INSTITUTIONS.

Some of you may, perhaps, have forgotten another transaction in the history of the last Democratic Administration which not only manifested an titter disregard of the financial iuterests of the State, but also involved a crime against a large number of the unfortunate classes of her people. I allude of course to the closing up. in 1857, of the Hospital for the insanej the Institution for the Education of the Deaf arid Dumb, and that for the Education of the Blind. No appropriations were made by the General Assembly for the support of these Institutions and, under the pretense that, for lack of such appropriations, they could not be continued in operation— their inmates were dismissed and thrown back upon the counties and families from which they came, in utter disregard of the anguish involved in the execution of so cruel a policy. This, be it remembered, was done in April, 1857 and, as if to demonstrate the folly and wickedness of the course pursued, and to give the lie to the pretext under which the enormity was perpetrated, without any intervening session of the Legislature, and with the same lack of appropriations which existed when the Institutions were closed, their inmates were invited back and in September, 1857, the Institutions were again opened and continued in operation MISAPPROPRIATION OF SCHOOL FUNDS. -Again, look at your school funds under control of W. II. Talbot, Esq., late Chairman of the Democratic Stale central Committee, and late President of the Board of Sinking Fund Commissioners. These funds were, by the constitution, sacredly dedicated to the cause of common school education,—and Mr. Talbot had no more .right to take them to the city of New

York than he had to take them

to China. He did, however, transmit them to New York City to be used in gold gambling during the war. Your school funds to the amqUnt. $133^28114 were used in betting on the success of the rebellion that, is just what operating in gold meant during the dark days of the war. But Grant pummelled the life out of the rebel army, and the Confederacy went up and your school funds went up with it. After five years of effort on the part of the Auditor of State to collect a portion of the claim out of collaterals assigned for that purpose, aud by prosecuting divers law suits the amount, including principal and interest, was reduced in April last to f84,811 09, and it was then closed by the payment of $14,811 69 in money, and giving seven notes well secured of $10,000 each, running from one to seven years, and bearing interest at 0 per cent, per annum.

Thus, you see, another forced loan has been levied, not upon the State, but upon her school fund by the Democracy and in the absence of accidents, the school fund will be reimbursed at the end of about twelve years from the time of the misappropriation of the money.

SWAMP LANDS.

But time would fail me, if I should attempt to discover to your admiring gaze all the Democratic financial gems which are buried in the political literature of the Democratic period. I can only allude to the swamp land swindle, its "lateral ditchcs1' and "migratory contracts" and general knavery. Governor Wright estimated that the swamp lands donated by Congress would yield to the School Fund at least $1,000,000. They did prove to be a good thing for the Democracy but if the School Fund was ever enriched thereby to the amount of a dollar neither the accounting officers of the Steite nor the Superintendent of Public Instruction has discovered or reported the fact.

But the the Sentinel, in its issue of August 24, 1870, says that no person expected that the School Fund ever would be increased by the receipt of any of the proceeds of these lands. This is its language "It is true that not a dollar ever reached the common school fund from the sale of swamp lands, and it is equally true that no one acquainted with the condition of these lands ever for a moment expected that the proceeds arising from their sales would mom than reclaim them and pay the necessary expenses incident to that desirable end."

In answer to this question from the second Section of theVlIIth Article of the Constitution, which declares that, the Common School Fund shall consist among other things, of "all lands that have been or may hereafter be granted to the State where no specific purpose is expressed in the grant, and the proceeds of the sale thereof, including the proceeds of the. sales .of swamp lands granted to the S£ato of Indiana by act of Congress Of the 2Sth of September, 1850, after deducting the expense of selecting and draiuing the same." ..

Again: Goverdor Wright in his regular message, delivered in January, 1853, after informing the Legislature that selections of swamp lands made by the State had been approved by -the proper officers of the general Government to the amount of i,018,905.acres, and that there would be added to this about 190,000 acres ia the Vincennes District, the setao* tions in that District not then having been examined—continued in the following language: "The fund to be derived from this source, solemnly set apart by

on J*Cofc^ttitioflrtothecanseofeducation, will if properly husbanded, within a few years amount to not less than one million ot dollars after defraying all proper expenses for selection and drainage. Doubts are seriously entertained whether theeffect of thel&w oflast session wTill not be to fritter away this fund without benefit to any one but the host of officers to be creased under it. The subject should be examined in all its bearengs and the proper remedy applied."

Here was an honest warning from an honest, faithful Executive, who, although a Democrat, never was, to his honor beit spoken, a member of the inner Democratic financial circle but the thing he warned against was the very thing the financiers desired, and, of course, the warning was unheeded.

The convention that framed the constitution, by specially mentioning these lands in that instrument, showed that its members believed there would be a large surplus after paying the expenses of selecting and ditching and Governor Wright explicitly says that the fund, if properly husbanded, would amount to not less than SI,000,000, after paying all proper expenses of selection and drainage. Will you believe the convention and Governor Wright, or will you believe the Sentinel!

The appointment of Jacob Merkle as Swamp Land Commissioner of Jasper county by Governor Willard, at a time when he" was a defaulter to the Swamp Land Fund of the State, as the late Treas urer of the same county, in the sum of $129,910 90, was one of those astute pieces of financial strategy which would have never been visable to the naked eye of any human, except the Democratic human.

I have no time to tell you about the Beaver Lake lands, tlie Georgia lands and divers other pet financial operations of the Indiana Democracy, which are embalmed in the pages of our political liter ature.

DEMOCRATIC GENIUS FOE FINANCE. I have given you some specimens tending to show that the Democratic genius naturally runs to finance that finance is its forte, its vital breath, its native air

Hence, in view of the past, is it quite reasonable that the people of Indiana should turn over their financial affairs to the Confederate Democracy

If there is anything that "Murk Twain" does understand it is how to run an agricultural journal. lie advises the farmers ,vhcn they wish to gather their turnips, to send a boy up the tree to shake them off. If there is any thing the Indiana Democracy does understand, it is how to pay oil' the State debt and run the State government eeonomally as witness their sale of the redeemed Stocks of the State at two-thirds of their par value, to put them in funds wherewith to pay their own salaries!

The Democracy has also risen with the emergency when called upon to manage the finances of the Nation, as is proven by the success of Buchanan, Floyd, Thompson and Tousey, in .depleting oar own Treasury to the replenishment of that of the Democratic Confederacy over which the late Mr. Davis presided with such distinguished Democratic financial success.

The administration of that most Democratic of all Democrats, Andrew Johnson, was another proof of the adaptation of tbe Democratic mind to the conception and execution of the most wonderful financial policies that the world has ever witnessed. His genius perfected the machinery for the collection of the internal revenue of the country so as to make it yield the largest possible sum to the Whisky Ring consistent with the retention of the allegiance of his subordinates to that Democratic institction and if there is one thing for which General Grant ought to be condemned by Democrats more than for any other, it is that he smashed this Whisky Ring as bad as he smashed the rebellion.

If any Indiana Republican wants an excuse for joining the Confederate Democracy, I trust that he will do it on the ground that its war record is all right, and that of the Republican party all wrong on the ground that the Democrats never did—but the Republicans did resolve in National Convention that the war was a failure. on the ground that Milligan, Bowles, Horsey, Humphreys, Dodd & Co., were the vilest of "Black Republicans!" doing all is-their power to promote the robellion and that Mortou was a Democratic Governor, and by his energy and patriotism thwarted the efforts of !)hese conspirators to carry the State of Indiana int&g^he bosom of the Southern Confederacy^

Let such a Republican vote the Democratic ticket, because while the Democratic candidate for Attorney General was in the field fighting the battles of his country, his opponent, the Republican candidate for the same office, was, as a member of the rebel Legislature in 1863, urging the passage of "the Military Bill," intended to deprive the Governor of the State of all the military power conferred upoji him by the Constitution, andplaCe it in the hands of the chiefs of the Sons of Liberty but let him not stultify himself by assigning as a reason for such action that he turns Dem ocrat because he is seeking financial re form.

Opinions of the Press.

From the Express, Dec. 20,1809.

TERRE HAUTC GOING AHEAD !—It is wTith sincere pleasure that we notice from time to time, the improvements that present themselves to the observer, in this, our beautiful city. We can boast of our factories, machine shops, iron works, &c., and last, but not least, of our merchants. Everything for use or luxury, and for every station in life can be procured as good and as cheap here as in the larger cities, and we are glad to notice from the general tone of the trade that our merchants and manufacturers are well pleased with the patronage bestowed on them. One house in particular we would speak of at this time. The New York Dry Goods Store, No. 73 Main street, presents at the present time prominent attractions. The proprietors, Messrs. Wittenberg, Ruschaupt & Co., have been engaged in business in this city for about three months, and by strict attention to business, fair dealing, and by always keeping a large and well selected stock, they have gathered around them a large circle of customers, who^ as we daily notice, crowd the New York Store, and keep the salesmen busy dealing out every kind of merchandize. Their success is not only attributed to a perfect knowledge of their business, but also to their mode of buying and selling their goods. Being supplied with abundant capital all their purchases are made for cash arid from first hands, every change in the market is taken advantage of by their experienced buyers, and when their goods are placed upon their counters on sale, they are offered at the lowest possible margin upon cost. A regular system of .percentage is adopted by this House, the benefit of purchases below market value is thereby always given to the customers, and by having "oneprice only,'.' all are treated alike, all share the same advantages in buying dry goods, and truly jmtice is done to all!

The New York Store has. become on of the most popular institutions of the place. If good goods at low prices, kind treatment and fair dealings, can build up a trade, the New York Store will take the rank among the largest business houses of Terre Haute.

THE NEW YORK STORE, AT TERRE HAUTE.—This establishment has now one of the finest stocks of goods ever brought to that city. Their buyer is evidently a man oi taste and w(ell acquainted with the wants of the people. The stock comprises every article in the Dry Goods line from the most substantial to the richest dress goods. The business in every department is systematically and honorably conducted, there is one price only for every article, and all customers are treated with the best attention and courtesy. We predict for the New York Sjore a large trade, for people will buy where the best inducements are offered. 1

ON TILE "RAMPAGE"—"NOTES OF TRAVEL."—On Wednesday morning, Sthinst., we got aboard Beattie's "Lightning Express" bound for "the East." Arrived at Merom about 10:30 A. M., when we 'changed hacks" for Sullivan, at which place we arrived just in time for the train for Terre Haute. Arrived at the latter named place about 4 p. M., and put up at the Terre Haute House, of which that prince of good fellows, Capt. T. C. Buntin, is proprietor. AVe went "down town," and and stopped in at the "New York Store," of Wittenberg, Ruschaupt & Co., where we found quite an array of clerks, both ladies and gentlemen, busy waiting upon the throng of customers in the store, and anxious to secure a portion a portion of the good and cheap goods they have on sale. It strikes us very forctbly that this establishment is the store of the city. The immense variety of all kinds of Dry Goods draws buyers from all parts of the country, and the proprietors are determined to supply all their customers at the lowest prices. Try them.

THE New York Store, 73 Main street, near Court House Square..

THERE is one House in the beautiful city of Terre Haute that will not fail to attract the attention ol any one passing down Main street toward the old Court House, a new style of sign, a neat flag is displayed across the street, and informs the citizen as well as the stranger, that here the New York Store, the Dry Goods jhouse of the place, is to be found. We enter. A busy throng is presented to our view. The farmer, the mechanic, the richly dressed lady all seem engaged in the same pursuit, and the obliging clerks are displaying the rich dress goods and shawls, the comfortable looking flannels, and blankets, muslins, prints, toweling, table-cloths and the thousand other articles kept in a large house like this. Satisfaction is expressed on every countenance, and all seem pleased with the bargains just made. The one price system, cheap goods and large stock, is building up a trade for the New York Store that the proprietors may well be proud of.

BUILDING UP A TRADE.—With most men it takes not only capital but years to build up a trade and make the investment pay, and there aro very few whose efforts are crowned with complete success, particularly in the Dry Goods line. It requires peculiar talent and tact, even where*' -sufficient^ amount of capital is back.rg- ind strengthening its spinal column, to gain the coveted goal and to arrive at the desired point, but here and there a case occurs, that is so marked that no observer can fail to notice it, and it gives us pleasure to notice the successful operations of Messrs. Wittenberg, Ruschaupt & Co., in building up a trade at their New Yook Store, No. 73 Main street, Terre Haute, Ind. The one price system and the firm determination to sell Dry Goods cheap, a large and well selected stock, together with polite treatment of all their customers have made the New York Store one of the most popular Houses in Terre Haute, and built up a trade for -the proprietors, agreeably exceeding their expectations.

NEW YORK STORE, 73 Main Street near Court House Square.

From the Prairie Beacon and Valley Blade.

Visiting Terre Haute a few days ago, we, of course, dropped into the New York Store, and were agreeably surprised to meet our old friend Harmon Schweitzer, now a partner in this establishment. We have seen some big things in the way of Dry Goods Stores, but the New York Store looms up above them all, in quality and quantity of goods, displayed taste and systematical arrangement aud general management. From the crowds of eager buyers that fill this House, we must judge that the proprietors offer extra inducements to their customers, as the accommodating clerks were busy as bees in cutting off and putting up all kinds of merchandise. We say, success to the New York Store, and the one price system.
