AGAIN is Bristow vindicated of a charge, touching his integrity as a man and government official.

AT tho present writing it looksas if the moccasin tracks were all pointing to a Democrat victory this fall.

MINNIE SHERMAN-FITCH'S diamond necklace, the gift of the Khe* dive of Egypt, is to come out of the custom house free of duty. A bill to that effect passed the Senate yesterday.

EXCEPT the Indianapolis Evening News, the GAZETTE was the only paper in Indiana that printed on Wednesday "the full proceedings of the Democratic Convention. Wo call that enterprise.

ANOTHER misapplication of funds has been traced to the White House, and to shield himself ex-Attorney General Williams swears he acted under orders from Grant. Verily the toils are gathering around the man who smokes.

IT is said that Landers will he nominated for Congress this fall. We marvel that his admirers do not press his claims upon the National Convention for the Presidency. Land ers is big enough and cheeky enough to have Presidential aspirations.

THE Clay County Enterprise asserts that D. H. Voorhees is implicated in that Memphis and El Paso railroad swindle. That is news in this part of the State. Is not the Enterprise thinking of a man the initials of whose last,name are M. C. Hunter, M.

GRANT vetoed the bill reducing the aalary of the President to its old figure of $25,000. It will be remembered that he signed the bill doubling it. As the Cincinnati Enquirer says, "he was compelled to veto the present measure, or go down in history as the National Hog." Some such rep» utation is likely to stick to him, no matter what he does.

BY an error in the composing

r0omv

proper crcdit was not given to

the Indianapolis Sentinel for the biographical sketches of the Democratic candidates, printed in yesterday's GAZETTE. When a gifted historian like the one who wrote the accounts we copied "'pumps" himself, BO to ppeak, he deserves credit for his work.

THE attention of the reader is directed to the article reprinted in to-day's GAZETTE from the New York Herald of yesterday morning. It relates to an order of President Grant for the payment out of the secret service fund of. ^the Government of money to carry the election in New York in the canvass of 1872. It explains how New York was carried for Grant. It plain words the President ordered money, appropriated for the service of the Govern men t,|to{be paid to hired retainers, for expenditure by them to secueie his re-election. It may be called misappropriation or embezzlement, or by whatever phrase th? reader pleases, but it is nothing more or less than stealing. It is indeed hard for the whole people to pay taxes in order to raise money for a corrupt President to use in securing his reelection, and ..by so doing defeat the purpose of a portion xf the people who paid the taxes. At last good cause has been found for impeaching Grant and ejecting him, in dishonor, from tne office wbiwh he has disgra*. ced. We could wish there was more pleasant work for our centennial year, but it is better that a thief be kicked out of the White House than he be left there to shame the nation.

Let him be impeached.

Now that Babcock has been indicted for the crime of conspiring to burglarize a safe and fasten the crime on an old and honored citizen of Washington, it may be interesting to know what certain distinguished gentlemen thought of him a few brief! weeks ago. When the verdict of innocant was returned in the whisky trial at St. Louis, the President's private secretary and intimate friend was tho recipient of sundry dispatches, congratulating him upon his luck. We trust these gentlemen will rush to the front now and give an anxious world information upon their present belief in regard to their maligned friend. We cannot refrain from reproducing some of the gush they gave to the world on the other occasion. Here are their telegrams. "Chicago, Februaiy 24.—The officers here and myself beg you to ac» cept our warmest congratulations.

P. H. Sheridan."

"Leavenworth, February 24.—The hearty congratulations of hosts of warm friends greet the verdict of acquittal. The Times will proudly herald the result. D. K. Anthony" "New York, February 24.—To Judge Porter: Glory to God. Regards to Babcock. "HUGH J. HASTINGS." "New York, Feb. 24.—Accept the hearty congratulations of an old friend. Regards to Judge Porter. "JOHN I. DAVENPORT." "New York, Feb. 24.—Permit one whose faith, as you know, has never wavered, to congratulate you on the triumph of justice aud a deceut administration of law, over political and personal persecution, a malignant press aud popular clamor "GEO. BLISS, "District Attorney, New York.'

Washington, Feb. 24.—For right is right, as God is good, and right the day has won. Thank Storrs, Porter, Williams and Krum forme. Bless them. A. R. SHEPHERD."

"Jim" Williams Laying the Worm of a Fence. As is well known to readers of the GAZETTE"Jim" Williams,Congress* men from tho Yincennes district and now Democratic candidate for Governor came home last week for a two or three days visit. It has been surmised in certain quarters that his re* turn bad a direct connection with the Democratic nomination for Governor which he received ly before yesterday. We will not deny that Btory, nevertheless it must be admitted that the old farmer has a most mysterious way of working such wonders to perform. Whatever occult motive he may have had for his visit home* there was an apparent reason which shows the character or tne mu*,. account was given ua by ex-State Senator Henry Wilson, of Sullivan county, an old personal friend Of Mr.

Williams. It seems that on a large tract of his farm, lying on the low ground, the floods had washed away the fence That fence, and there was a mile or two of it, had to be rebuilt. Mr. Williams, with a sort of pride in his skill, imagines that no peison is quite as competent to lay the worm of an old fashioned rail fence as himself. So be -me home for three days, and might have been seen at any time during that period with his jeans coat off, and hanging perhaps on a hickory limb, vigorously laying the worm of that fence. He finishes it in due time, making of it as pretty a job, we are told as ever was seen, and then carefully brushing off his suit of "jeans," and kissing bis family all around, the Indiana Cincinnatus started back for Washington, and his. Congressional duties. Invigorated by his little vaca tion, devoted to out door exercise, he will not be especially inconvenienced by the baa air i:« the capital, about which his colleagues spend so much time in complaint.

We need a ten rail fence, double staked anridered around our state treasury and the GAZETTE moves that "Jim" Williams take off his coat and lay the worm.

IF JIM WILLIAMS doesn't give Orth the grand bounce this fall, we have lost all faith in signs.

A Bnesian Lunatic.

Philadelphia, April 20.—The New Jersey State Council of American Order United Mechanics held a semi annual session at Morristown New Jersey. Dr. Peter Schuh and hiw wife, Russians, who resided on Bowvier street both committed suicide yesterday. Mrs^ Schuh swallowed prussic acid during her husbands absence, and on his return he found her lying dead on the floor. He summoned the neighbors, but before they reached the" place be had shot himself through the {heart and lay dead beside his wife. They were poor, bui were persons of education and refinement, who had occupied a much higher position in society than'of late. Their pride was great, and it is supposed that an embittered feeling, resulting from their fallen lot, led to the fatal act.

Strike.

Chicago, April 20 —The workers in the stone quarries at Lemont, Illiuois, who have been working during the winter at one dollar per day with a promise of an increase of wages later in the season, inaugurated a strike on Monday which gradually grew i" Proportions until yesterday, when 600 had joined in striking and several policemen were sent down to quell any riot that might occur. These officers arrested five men who were icciting a disturbance and brought them to Cbie»Ro. They were arraigned to-day in a justice's court and their cases continued under f300 bail until Satarday. A telegram received-here to-day from Xiemont Bays all is quiet there now.

HON. J. D. WILLIAMS.

The Democratic Candidate for Governor of Iddiana—How He Appears in His Seat in Congress.

Washington Cer. Indianapolis News. Away back in one of the seats in tbe outer circle, and near the central aisle leading to the Speaker's desk, sits a tall, dark old man, the image and counterpart of tile late Mr. Lincoln, if OHP could picture what Mr. Lincoln would have looked like if he had stuck to rail-splitting, and hadn't gone into politics for a living. The prototype is something over six feet in height, has a head of black, bristling hair, streaked slightly ^1, gray, a cadaverous' sun-browned face, upon which no whiskers are allowed to encroach, cheeck-boues wbich are exceedingly prominent, and a pair of eyes so deep set thit they appear to be taking a survey of ill that goes on in their immediate vicinity with a sort of quiet indifference, as if to say: "Well, go on with your foolishness, it's none ot rav funeral." The tall, ungainly figure is clad throughout iu an old fashioned suit of homes*pun, home-made blue jeans, strongly suggestive of the backwoods. Visitors ia the galleries, and on the floor of the House of Representatives invariably pause to ask who the queer-looking old man is, and tbev are as invariably told that they are gazing upon "Uncle Jimmy" Willi&ms. Representative from tho Second Indiana District. "Uncle Jimmy" is also denominated "The Granger," though why h« should be identified with a crowd with whom he has nothing in comtaon politically is one of those mysteries whose solution one can only arrive at by intuition. He is a quiet man, rarely rising to his feet to say any thing, bnt when he essays to speak he is certain to have something to say, and that something is apt to be v^ry much in the nature of business. "Uncle Jimmy" is a hard fact of Western experience and evolution. Boy and man he has passed a somewhat long life as a farmer and frontiersman—using the term in a modified sense and for many years he has representen his Granger constituency in the Legislature of his own State. He has ever had the reputation of being a solid rather than a brilliant man. With none of the graces of tbe polished orator or tho finesse of the trained debater, he has enjoyed some distinction as possessing a modicum of hard horse sense and of knowing the rules of parliamentary law as well as most of bi3 neighbors. In the formatton of the Committees of the House, "Uncle Jimmy" was assigned to that ot Accounts, which has to do with the expenditures of the Contingent Fund. In these times of retrenchment "Uncle Jimmy" is, as it were, a man raised up providentially for the place. A stern old man of simple abstemious habits a wearer of homespun unused to the commonest luxuries of city Jiff a man who despise.-* all effeminacy and Sybar itism in our modern modes of living, is not apt to look leniently upon extravagance in any form. Could "Uncle Jimmy" have his own way entirely, he would, perhaps reform the House,back to Spartan babirn of economy and abstinence. The photographic reporters complain that they have recently been deprived of soap, towels and spittoons, and that it the thrifty Chairman of Accounts continues in his work of reform they will be obliged to undergo severe hardships They sarcastically remark that "UnjiTOnrv*'_'_mavinpt get so high a val*9 on soap anirtoweisw-"vnn°.™, Ol mankind, coming, as he does, from a region where those accessories of civilization a region where those acof civilization are little known,but these are base assevrations.

The Granger statesman, simply desires the phonographers to furnsh their own towels or wipe on their handkerchiefs as hedoes and as for soap, if they wash tbeir hands in the morning before breakfast, they will do well. As for spittoons, they can expectorate to their delight on the stove or out of the window, or on the floor. Many ex cellent men have done this all their ljves, and are none the worse for it. It is whispered that "Uncle Jimmy" contemplates a raid on the bath rooms and water closets, which are at present very luxurious, and managed in a costly and extravagant way. That the abolition of these conveniences would be met with a clamor by the majority of members of every shade of political opinion, admits of no doubt whatever, so deeply has the canker-worm of luxurious self-indulgence eaten its way into the very heart of our free institutions. A proposition has already been made to replace the comfortable cane bottomed pivot chairs and desks by plain wooden benches. The abolition Jof spittoons and the removal of carpets would certainly go a great way toward reducing the continent expenditures, for the House but, as I have already hinted, the spirit of extravagance has tak^n so firm a hold upon our people —ana Representatives in Congress are not exempt from tbe infliction—that it is extremely dohbtfal if such a measure can be successfully carried through. Nevertheless, "Uncle Jimmy" Williams will do what ha can to curtail expenses, and if he doesn't succeed in saving to an ungrateful Republic somewhere in the neighborhood of from seventy^five to a hundred dollars by the exercise ef a Spartan-like economy, then sot your correspondent down for a false prophet.

GRANT'S TETO MESSAGE.

Why the Presiden 'a Salary Should not 1e Reduced to $25,000. Washington, April 10.—In the Senate this morning, immediate after the journal of yesterday's proceedings was read, the Chair read the following message To the Senateof the United States

Herewith I return Senate 11 No. 172, entitled "An act fixing tbe salary of the President of the United States," without my approval. I am constrained to thi3 course from a sense of duty, to my successors in ofHce, to myself, and to what is due to the dignity of tbe position of Chief Magistrate of a nation of more than forty millions of people.

When the salary of the President of the United States was fixed by the constitution at $25,000 per aunum, we were a nation of but three million of people: poor from a long aud expensive war, without commerce or manufactories, with but few wants and those cheaply supplied. Tbe salary must then have been deemed small for the responsibilities and dignity of the position, but justifiably so from the impoverished condition of Treasury and the simplicity it was desired to cultivate in the Republic. The salary of Congressmen under the Constitution was first fixed at S6 per day for the time actually in sessions, or $720 per year, or less than one thirteenth of the salery of the Presi dent. Cougress have legislated upon their own salaries from time to time, until finally it reached $5,000 per annum, or one fifth that of the President before the salary of tbe latter was increased.

No one having a knowledge of the cost of living at the national capitol will contend that the yearly salary of Congressmen is too high, unless it be the intention to make the office one entirely of honor, when the salary should be abolished—a proposition repugnant to our republican ideas ami institutions. I do not believe the citizens of this republic desire their servants to serve them without fair compensation for their services. The sum of $25,000 does not defray the expenses of the Executive for one year, or has not in my experience*. It is now one-fifth in value what it was when fixed by tbe Constitution in supplying demauds and wan ts.

Having no personal interest in this matter, I have felt myself free to return this bill to the House in which originated, with my objections, believing that, in doing BO I meet the wi-hes and judgment of the great majority of those who indirec'ly pay all the salaries and other expenses of the Government. U. S. GRANT.

Tho Amende Honorable. Thestatament in yesterday morning's Journal to the effect that Mr. H. Leouard had taken an overdose quinine and thereby prevented from attending the State Couveution at Indianapolis, was not intended to convey she idea that Mr. Leonard was under the influence of strong drink, or anything of the kind. It was merely intended asa joke, ind not a candid fact. We trust, therefore, that Mr. L. aud his friends will consider it as such, and understand that there wss no intention to injure his feelings in any way.— [Journal.

Mr. P. H. Leonard, referred to in the above, is a whole-souled gentle* xnan, always polite and accommodating, and, though a dealer in liquors Mmself, is always as "clear as a whigtie."
