DISPATCHES from Rome indicate a deplorable condition of affairs in the church. His feeble heakh has rendered the Pope incapable, to a large degree, of performing his pontificial duties. Lacking his supreme guiding hand jealousy has grown up among his subordinates, and bickerings exist where there should be the most complete and cordial harmony. As the dispatch states, the Papal government is threatened with dissention and anarchy.

THE Indianapolis Journal bamboozles the associated press agent at that place into sending one ot its editorials over the country, as embodying the views ot Senator Morton on the subjects mentioned. That was well enough understood already. Thejournal always did echo the views of the Senator. When Morton has taken snuff the Journal has never refused to sneeze.

Howeyer, the announcement that the editorial was read to the Senator, is important, as indicating his physica] condition. But it should have been accompanied by in explanation, without which the country will still be in doubt. Are we to understand that the Senator has so far recovered that he is in sufficiently robust health to stand the reading of an entire editorial ot the Journal? Or was the edition al prescribed by the attending ph vsician as at last a most potent remedy for bringing "sleep to the eyes and slumber to the eyelids" of the prostrate Senator? Are we to consider that the Senator is entirely well or very sick? One or the other piece of information must have been what the account intended to convey. He certainly would not have been at the pains to telegraph a column editorial to tell the thrice told and well known tale that the Journal would not dare assert that its soul (a covert allusion to the sole proprieto:) was its own, without first ascertaining the views of the Senator in that vital interogatcy. Rise up, Mr. Agent Speak, oh, speak.

THESE hard times are good times, say we. All the pretentious financial humbugs, all speculators on other people's money, all big thieves, all insurance knaves, all land pirates, all bank sharks, all people who are not financially honest, are being exposed. And the hard times Is doing the wurk. The era of .ballooning past. Flying is*at an end. Hereafter people must walk. These necessitous times are making these exposures. And is good. Better for everybody that •hey are found out now, than that they be permitted to continue their robbery for one year, or ten years longer, multiplying their thefts, and increasing the number of thieves by setting the bad example of prosperous knavery.

It would have been better if they had been exposed five years ago better for them, and better for their victims whom they have been fleecing for the past sixty months. When anybody reckons up the evils of the hard times, *et forth on the other side of the ledger to its credit, the enormous knavery it has exposed the numberless thieves it has caught, the enormous stfealing8 it has stopped. Nine—tenths of thebusiness community is honest and solvent Business depression will neither bankrupt their purses nor their consciences But the dishonest one-tenth, if there be that many, have been and are being caught. And it is good.

Far be it from the GAZETTE to assert or insinuate that every man who tpils, or js 'hard up,' is dishonest. Many excellent men have suffered and will suffer. But we do not understand that an old, vicious, and corrupting system should be continued because of one man or six thousand men.

CONTRACTION UNNECESSARY. Ore of the terrible fears of the Greenback theorists, and others who have studied finances enough to evolve a plan, is that specie payment must necessarily be accompanied by a contraction of the currency—a contraction that shall leave the country in still greater distress, and ruin everything.

Without striking at once at the weak place in this proposition, let us glance at what has taken place in the last two years, and then in the last two weeks.|

There has been a contraction of the currency amounting to several millions, that cannot be deniedIt has not been done in the main, however, by the' Government nor is it the result, as many suppose, of transaetions at the United States Treasury department. It is the work of the national banks, the principal reasons for it being the heavy taxes that are levied against national bank circulation by the general government twice a year, and the difficulty of making profitable use of the money.

The retirement of Greenbacks by the Secretary of the Treasury is an indication of expansion, strange as it may appear to those who do not give the matter caretul attention. When orte hundred dollars of national bank notes are issued to new banks and banks increasing their circulation (not to banks merely exchanging old njtes for new ones) eighty dollars 5n greenbacks are retired, making again in the aggregate yolume of circulation of twenty per cent. The retirement of greenbacks, therefore, is not the cause of the contraction that has been going on. That was mainly the result of the panic, bank taxes and hare, times.

The contraction of the past two years is easily accounted for but it does not follow that further shrinkage is necessarily a feature of resumption. In fact it is quite probable that when resumption has taken place there will be an expansion of the currency, a healthy and reasonable expansion, based upon a specie reserve', that shall furnish ample means for moving the crops, pushing business* and giving employment to idle hands throughout the country. Un^er such an expansion the paralysis of hard times will be cured, and the great "wheels of manufacture will be released. The national banks have already responded to the recent demand for more money, and, in spite of taxation, and the alleged fears of the effects of resumption, have within two weeks incresed their circulation over two millions of dollars.

BEFORE a cent is appropriated by Congress for the deficiencies which exist in every department of tfce Government, a rigid investigation should be made as to the manner in which the delinquencies were created. A majority of the American people believe that Grant and every single member of his Cabinet, at the time he lelt office, with the possible exception of Mr. Fish, played hocus pocus with the people's money as it pleased them. We know that private obligations were paid with public patranage let us see if they were not also paid out of the public funds. Laws which require funds to be used for the specific purpose designated in the appropriation were violated again and again, with unblushing persistency. From such violations of law to embezzlement is a small step lor feet accustomed to walking in the devious ways of misappropriation. An investigation now will have a reasonable prospect of accomplishing something. Heretofore, the men to be investigated were in office and could manipulate and falsify the bodes. Now, the Cabinet positions are held by gentlemen above suspicion of wrong themselves, and not averse it is presumable^ unearthing the frauds of any knavish predecessors they may have had. Besides we have a President now who recognizes the fact that his paramount duly is to the people of the country, and who not 'stand by a iriend,' if that friend was a thief, and 'standing by him,' meant compounding knavery, The days when you could not scratch an official thief without rousing a President to his defense is happily past forever.

Perhaps the greatest ^frauds which Congress will find it necessary to investigate will be discovered in the Navy Department. The deficiency there is incomprehensible on anything other than that which necessitates a be liet that Mr. Robeson is a brother of Wm.

Tweed, and ought to look out upon the world, through the same latticed window. He was investigated once before, but he was in the cabinet then, backed up by a bull dog of a President, and with' power and patronage sufficient to procure witness willing to testify to whatever he might dictate. Besides this, it is only remarkable to suppose, from the sudden way in which the investigation ended, that some prominent Democrats were found smeared, and that it was a sort of "mum's the word" all around. Now however,Secretary Thompson will give the committee all the aid possible. He wishes his department to start off even with the world. To do that, this deficiency must be made good. And it cannot be made good unless the country is given to understand how it came to exist Secretary Thompson and a Congressional Committee must attend to this even if iraud is traced to the doors of some very high persons in the last administration. It would be a pity to stop a very brilliant European tour, but the truth must be known about this leproug spot of a dead administration.

A GREENBACK CATECHISM? M. M. (Brick) Pomeroy has writ ten a "Greenback Catechism." One of the head-lines of this little pamphlet is the modest assertion that "armed with these truths"—the ones supposed to be contained in the pamplet—"a man can silence any opponent ot the greenback dollar." It is put in the form of questions and answers. The first one of these questions which is to silence any and every opponent, is couched in the following phrase 'Could the Union have been saved withoat the greenback dollar?' The Pomeroysterous answer is 'It could not,' And just here we get a clue to the way in which his catechism will prove everything. The opponent of Pomeroy, in order to be annihilated, must answer the quest ons he asks as he indicates.

A departure on the part ot the person to be annihilated might |r$ye disastrous to the annihilator.

By this initial question two answers are suggested. One is the argumentum ad hominem, being somewhat, personal to Mr. Pomeroy, who asks' it. As we are aware it does not touch the merits of the question itself. And their answer is the counter question, "what right has Pomeroy to ask whether or not the Union could have been saved without it? When did anything become valuable to him because it was supposed to be efficacious in savmg the Union? When did anything and everything which contributed to the maintenance af the union cease to be hateful to him? When, in fact, did Mr. Pomeroy cease wishing to destroy the union and begin to interest himself in its preservation? Granting, as we do not grant, that the question is pertinent and convincing to anybody, how is it possible for Pomeroy to ask it?

As stated at the start this does not touch the merit of the question. But it can be answered directly. And in the first place it is not a new question. Oliver P. Morton asked it of Senator Jones of Nevad*. And when he asked it he supposed he had driven Jones into a corner from which there was no escape. The answer ot the Senator from Nevada was remarkable and has the merit of being sound,^. logic, "How could the Union have" been saved without the greenback dollar? It could have been saved for about $i ,000,000 less than it did cost." If Mr. Pomeeoy and his young angihilators will put' this answer in their pipes and smoke it, and think a little over it, they will be the wiser for the exercise. As a matter ot fact it is all nonsense to assume that greenbacks saved the Union. They yretc issued during our ,fyrar,. and made that war cost ns -almost twice as much as it would otherwise have done, by inflating values, weakening credit, and setting the country adrift on a wild sea ot ruinous speculation, from the evils of which we are at this late Cay suffering.

But granting, for the sake of argument that it was useful during the war, or

puts it, "saved the Union," what does, that signify? Does that necessarily prove that they must be good now? Quinine has cured many a person fro a. chills, but is that any reason why persons should dose themselves perpetually with with quinine. Whiskey is an antidote lor a snake's poison, but must a person i^fecessarily keep drunk all the time, be nabituallv poisoned with whiskey, and constantly have snakes in his boots and in his brain, because of that fact? Suppose greenbacks did save the Union, bo did a million armed men.

Must we therefore keep a standing army of a million men? So did old fashioned muzzle-loading muskets. Is Uat a reason for retaining a weapon that is antiquated and behind the times?

Of all the wild arguments ever used, this one of greenbacks having ^aved. the Union and therefore being desirable and even essential to our happiness, because of that tact, is. the flimsiest and the falsest. "Brick" Pomeroy is personally disqualified from using it. It is not a valid argument for their present use if their value during the war is admitted. And as a matter of fact, now generally admitted by sound business men and political economists, greenbacks made our war cost twice as much as it otherwise would.

PHIluLIPS ON SUMNER AND GRANT. If ever in the history of the world a man profited by silence and ruined himself by speech, that man is Ulysses S. Grant. He passed for a man of profound opinions among some people, so long as he was content to hold his tongue. The moment that unruly member was provoked into wagging it pronounced its owner to be an illiterate utterer of muddled stupidities. But it has remained for him during his European tour to prove that he not only can speak falsely, "but that he has not the ordinary decency and humanity to speak respectfully of the distinguished dead.

Readers of the GAZETTE are familiar with the fact that a few weeks ago he went out ot the way to malign the memories of Charles Sumner and John Lathrop Motley, making against them accusations which are tantamount to asserting that they were liars.

Fortunately the reputation of these two departed statesmen is 6uch as to demand the strongest proofs. No man in this country has so high a character that his unsupported assertion, would stand against the lives of these two men. And it is very tar trom being within tue power of a man like Grant, whose singular infelieity it has been to differ so often and with such reputable men on questions of veracity( where, if he spoke truly, a dozen men of standing equal to his own, when he was at his best, were convicted of falsehood. Besides, if, as the adage says, evil communications corrupt good manners, it must be admitted that the manners of the ex-President are hardlysuch as are entirely consistent with elevated morals.

But if his ill-tempered and misguided words will have little or no effect, at all, in smirching the character of either Sumner or Motley, they will at least have the effect, before the controversy which they are sure to provoke has subsided, of proving how possible it is for a man to occu py a high and dignified official position without having a low character either elevated or improved. The latest contribution to the controversy is contained in some remarks of Wendell Phillips, embodied in a lecture which he recently delivered at Newton Massachusetts. Wendell Phillips, is, to our thinking, a very erratic gentleman, whose precepts on politics and social questions are often Utopian and frequently wrong. But he is a gentleman and a man of honor, alike incapable of a mean act or a dishonest one. If ever a man's character proved his speech to be true, that man is Wen dell Phillips. His remarks on this subject are as. pertinent as they are timely. We commend them to the prayerful perusal ,, of that bodv of our citizens v' who can condemn such flagrant rascals as Belknap and Babcock and the unfortunate victims of the great whiskey conspiracy, but who go about still praising their chief, who taught them knavery by precept and example, while he shielded them, as far as his power permitted, trom the punishment of the law. We inviie these men to the feast which Phillips has prepared for them and trust they will find it palatable. Mr. Phillips says: "But General Grant says that Mr.

Sumner lied. I remember the occasion. Pardon me if I recite it. Mr. Sumner received from the hands of General Grant th6 treaty of Santo Domingo— from General Grant, who drove up to his door while he was sitting with some friends at dinner table. He said to the president: 'I will look at the bill. I trust I will have the pleasure of supporting the administration,' They were words of politeness, of courtesy merely—without having examined the instrument. When he went home and examined it, he found the dark treachery to the black race. The next day he found General Grant and took back even the courteous words. He pointed out the objections to the ^reaty, laid before him the impossibility of his supporting it, and urged a reconsideration of the action ot the administration. General Grant listened in silence, perhaps I might say sullen silence. There was present a gentleman who has been in Washington for forty years, and he came away with Mr. Sumner. As they came down the stairs of the executive mansion, the gentleman remarked: 'What is the matter with the president? do you think he understands you?' 'I should think he might,' replied Sumner. 'No, he doesn't' was the response 'he is in no state to understand anything.' If Grant never heard that Sumner took back the courteous pledge in the chamber of the white house, it was because his brain refused to perform its office. He is no judge of the veracity of the senator from Massachusetts.

Gen. Grant also refers to the action of Mr. Sumner in vindication of his friend. Mr. Motley. The case is a grave one. It concerns one of the noblest Ameri cans who upheld our fame aoroad. General Grant intimates that he was no Ameriean. I knew Lothrop Motley from boyhood. It is very true that in his earlier European life he drank too deep ot the foreign spirit. In 1840 and 1838 he was largely European. But at his return to this country ten years before the war, he told me: "This is the greatest country in the world. This is the noble nation to work for. It is the noblest people. I have, come back from Europe and have relearned the value ot America: have come home one of the humblest laborers to make justice and liberty prosper." It came from his heart. He wa&. made over into a most enthusiastic American. Iwas not surprised when he sprang to the helm in the columns of the London Times. It was an echo of the old talks on the sidewalks. When Grant appointed him to England he appointed the .warmest American heart that ever beat.

Now, when the senator has been in Mount Auburn three for years, wnen his pen cannot write a denial or his lips utter a rebuke, now, from a foreign shore, bearing-a lie upon its lips, comes this ac

cusation that this senator, who never was absent from the Senate one hour—Mr. Sumner told me in the last year of his life, 'I never was absent one hour till the last twelvemonth'—that this senator was removed for negligence. Find me one other man who has not lost weeks, or even months, by absence. Mr. Sumner refused opportunities to make hundreds of dollars by lecturing, because he was bound by his duties in the Senate.

In the quarrel with Mr. Motley the records in the state department in black and white, prove that the administration stooped to a falsehood. Mr. Fish exhorted Mr. Sumner to take the British mission, told him be ought to go to London. Six months later the minister was recalled on the ground that he leaned too much upon the opinion of a great northern senator. Mr. Sumner's indignant exclamation to Mr. Fish was: "If Mr. Motley's learning was an unpardonable sin, by what right did you sit in my study six months ago and urge me to go to England and press my views on the Alabama claims?" He said then and there: "Sir, you are a tool Of the president for base purposes, and this removal is out of spite." And it is .true. The testimony is on the files ot the diplomatic service itself.

MUSCLE AND MURPHYISM. A BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A TEMPERANCE APOSTLE.

John Lee, of Delaware, Ohio, is an advocate of the blue ribbon temperance movement A week ago, or to be exactt, on Saturday, the. 13th ot October, he went to Carlisle, Ind., to work up temperance reform. AH last week he held meetings in the Presbyterian Church of that piace and was quite successful, over 200 persons signing the pledge. For some ^reason or other he became obnoxious to Norman & Pacigett, proprietors of the solitary saloon in the place, though he did not, as he informs us, make use while in Carlisle, of any personal remarks against them. He was to leave on Saturday night coming here. The train passes through Carlisle at about half past eight in the evening. He had heard from others that there was likely to be trouble, and to guard against it a crowd of people who sympathised with the tem perance movement escorted him to the train, and placed him in the passenger coach. Almost immediately thereafter eight roughs headed, by Padgett, got on the car. Padgett himself going up to Lee, where he sat in the car, struck him over the head, as Lee thinks, with iron knucks, and kicked and generally pounded him.

The others with him huddled close about, not striking themselves, but keeping off the passengers in the car who began to interest themselves in the the affair. Lee was comparatively help les». being taken unawares, and besides being a stfferer from rheumatism. While this was going on the conductor—Lu Alvin—came into the car and also James Thomas, the baggageman But for a while their orders to them to disperse were not obeyed. Finally taking a hand in the fight, Thomas was stabbed by Padgett, but not seriously' hurt. Then the roughs turned and ran out4 of the car as fast as their feet could carry them, and away from the depot pursued by some of Mr, Lee's friends, who were not however able to come up to them, is a

The attack, front me account given us by Mr. Lee himself, was a brutal and cowardly one and the roughs engaged in it should be made to dance to the music of indictments. We also understand that the E. & C. railroad authorities intend to prosecute them for wrongfully entering and detaining the train. r-

LIVER AND BLOOD DISEASE. By B. Pierce. M. D. Author of the People's Common 8ense Medical Adviser."

A healthy liver #eorets each day about two and ahalf pounds ot bile, which contains a great amount of waste material taken from 1 the blood. When the liver boeomes torpid and congested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of noxious substance, which, therefore, remains to poison the blood, and be conveyed to every part of the stum." What mil't be the condition of the blood

Thebr in,which is the great electrical" center of all vitality, is nndnly stimulated' by the unhealthy blood which passes 10 it from the heart, and it fails to perform Its office healthily. Hence the symptoms of bUe. poisoning, which are dullness, headache, incapacity to keep the mind on any subject, impairment of memory, dlsy, sleepy, nervous fee lings, gloomy forebodings, and irritability of temper. The bloed It self being diseased, as it forms the sweat upon the surface or the sain, it is so irratatlag and poisonous that it produces discolored brown spots, pimples blotches, and other eruptions sores, hoi s, carbuncles, and scro uloot tumors. The stomach, wels, and other organs, cannot escape becoming affected, sooner or later, and w' have, as the result.,, costiveness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, .iar rhcea. Other symptoms are common, as t* ter or bad taste i» moutn, internal heat, pal-
