THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1878.

DISTRESS IS the fanciest notion of the Notionals.

"GIVE US each day a lot of calamities, O! Lord!" is, a favorite prayer with the Notionals.

THIS bright and beautiful sunshiny day is gall and wormwood to the Notionals. Distress iB what they feed and fatten on.

"THK Legal Tender," a Notional paper at Crawfordsville, Ind., "has gone," as the late James Fisk said, "where the woodbine twineth.''

WE rise to remark that we are in the midst of a crisis—a political crisis. A chromo will be given to the oldest inhabitant who can remember when, we were not similarly situated.

THE bright and beautiful sutl which shines on a lovely earth this blessed day looks like a fcAil blot to the Notionals) who are hoping and praying for storms or floods, cr droughts, or some other calamities.

THE Chicago branch of the National party is called the Commune. It embraces the fellows who really broke down thestrie last summei by the commission of excesses which made them a terror to all honest people. They do not want work and will not do work. Their c»y i6 pies and cakes, ('vithout work) or blood.

FROM the Charleston, South Carolin a Sunday Times, we take the two foliow ing local items which are appetizing enough to make ones mouth water. They '1 are as follows: "Blackberries are selling at eight cents a quart already." "Green peas were sold on the streets yesterday at ten cents a peck, or a little over one cent a quart. This is the lowest retail price that, has ever been reached in Charleston."

WHEN the bankrupt repeal till was before the Senate yesterday, Matthews proposed an amendment which provide® that it shall not go into operation unti the ist of January, iSjy This amendment was approved by the Judiciary Committee, with the understanding that it should be reported back to-day, when it will doubtle6s pass. But this amendment will necessitate the sending of the bill back to the House again. Besides, if it is pro* posed to delay the operation of the repeal until the ist of January I&79, present interest in the bill will be lost.

FOR SALE.

A large lot of tickets of last year with the name of Joseph M. Wildy on them as Republican candidate for Citv Clerk With a few changes they can be fixed to suit the altered circumbtances, and be made to do service next week. Rub out the words "Republican Ticket write in"National Ticket rub out "City Clerk,' and write "Mayor,"^and you have it. It will save paper, and paper may be a valuable thing to save against the day when a Government printing press may convert every scrap of it into wealth. The change will be almost as ea6y as it was for Joseph himself to change his views and become convinced that as a Republican he had pretty much ruined this fair and lovely country.

LET it not be forgotten by Democrats that every single candidate on the Notional ticket always has been a Republican, and is a Republican now except on the financial question. And even on this subject they were in sympathy with lhat party during ail the years that it was enacting the "legislation at which they now com--M plain, and which they are now loud in their professions of an intention to repeal. When they were cheering the

Republican party and supporting its candidates and endorsing its legislation, Democrats opposed them. Democrats -will oppose them now, notwithstanding their professions of a chary? of heart, T-he conversion was too late.

THK Democratic leaders of Terre Haute atarted out to fight a greenback campaigu, but they have forgotten all about the greeabae*. Th are revly to join band# w»tfi the bar-1 monev and National Dank Rcpublieans to beat the Greenback party. Tbeir smcsrity as ecnb»ck mm baa been put to the test, and it roves to be as frtil a bubble as evtr Wits blown from liic breath of ciuplicity and artifice.—|Morning Distress.

The allegation contained in the above paragraph of a coalition between Dem_ ocrats and Republicans, is a* foolish as it is false. There is nothing in common between the two parties. They opposed each other years before ever the Nationa' party was dreamed of. They have opposed each other in State# where th* National party was never heard of. A coalition. between them is net to be thought of for a moment and never has been.

But the absurdity"of the charge gets added point from its source. Coming from the organ of'an organization which fights the legislation of the Republican party with candidates who were mem ber6 of that party only a' fews week ago, and one of whom is a Republican office-holder to-day, it is aft amazing exhibition ot duplicity. Men are asked to belive that the Noti*nal party is sinceie and has convictions, and they are asked to vote *or the candidates of that party running on a platform which denounces everything they did and everything they wore up to a few days ago. As a matter ol fact, it these candidates of the Notional party are right in their assertions, and the Republican party did halfof the mean things which t'nev say it did, and which they us prom inentandenthusiastic partisans helped it to do, then, instead of asking for t.u suffrages of the people, they ought to be wearing sack cloth andashes,and begging to be pardoned for their sins.

No. The people need have no fear of the Democratic party lowering its standard. No abandonment of principle need be feared from it. No coalition need be apprehended between it and its old time foe. Democrats refused to tupport Republican candidates last year. They refuse to do so now, ever, if they do fill upon their faces and try to crawl into favor by denouncing their past conduct and by promising to do great things as Notionals. An Ethiopian can not' change his color nor a leopard his spots. .Wrapped in magnificient promises clothed with eloquent, and for the most part just de nunciation of what they were and wha* they did a few weeks ago, beneath the cloak appears the cloven foot, behi»d the mask is seen the faces of Republicans who helped enact the legislation which the people now oppose.

One difference, and one alone exists between the regular Republican ticket and the spurious one called Notional, nomihated by the Corinthian hail hierarchy. The regular one has the merit of sincerity and honesty. The spurious one is a bundle of false pretense. Dem ocrats will not touch either, and especial ly will they not touch the one whose candidates start out by saying they were blank scoundrels up until last week, or last month, or next week, a» their aileged change of heart occurred, or is to occur, at some one of those dates.

NOTIONAL PROMISES. Three separate persons have been promised the position of chief of the fire department, incase the Notionals should get control of the city council. These three patriots who have become Notionals from conviction have been figuring on the problem and discovered that there is a lie out somewhere, and that three fellows can't get one office. At the latest report they were around tryit»g to bind the candidates by written promises. And this suggests a solution of the trouble in accordance with Notional principles. Government promises, call ed greenbacks hitherto, are no longer to be promises. The inscription:

4

The

United States promises a dollar" is to be erased. In its stead is to be put"This a dollar.''

Now these three deluded gentlemen are worrying themselves trying to get Notional Councilmen and Notional candidates for the council to sign a paper saying: promise to make chi^f of the Fire Department." How foolish to do this thing which intimates a specie basis of actual office holding, a redeeming of a promise to do something at some future day. Why not make it read: "This (the name of the aspirant) it chief ot the fire department." Let each Councilman or candidate for the council sign it. No matter how many of them' are in circulation The certified paper is the office. The more the better. Let there be issued en millions a month until we have good imes. They need never be redeemed. Give everv fellow that applies one them. They tost noth ng, and would be as reliable as scraps of government paper, based on nothing and con vertible into nothing. And it being un derstood that these certificates ot office amount to nothing, there would be no heart turnings and branding of one anoth er as liars as there will be if the Notionals get the Council and try to keep from five to fifty promises for every position there is to fill.

Dr. Muhlenberg, at the beginning of the revolution, consented to take a command in the field, and his last sermon contained the words: "'There is a time for all things—a lime to preach and a time to fight—and now is the time to fight." As he said this he stripped off his clerical robes, displayed his uniform as a colonel, and read his commision to that rank.

fSE TERKE HATJTE WEEKLY-GAZETTE.

COL. INGERSOLL'S LECTURE. Col. Ingersoll called a vigorous champion of the right of free speech. It does not occur to us that anybody is opposing freedom of speech. Col. Ingersoll him0elf does not appear to be a martyr for opinion's sake. He said pretty much what he wanted to say last night, and there were no visable evidences of restraint in his utterances. A noble army of martyrs could be recruited on the Colonel's teims, at

$300.00

per night.

The ministry did no* turnout in force ear him. He never goe6 to hear the ministers, preferring, according to his own statement, to goto the woods with his family and sit on a rotten log, and let his children gather flowers. It would seem to bequit6 bet.veen them.

It is probably because he has not Deen to church for so long a time that he is so wide of the mark when he speaks of them as gloomy and forbidding places where groans and tears abound. I all this part ot his address he n-picuously unfair, despite his* fnq tent appeals for fairness. We are not discussing the theological points involved. A very great deal that he said in criticism of past and present dogmas was not new, nor has the justice of the criticism been doubted bv the majority of intelligent persons. But he ought to see that he is inconsistent and unfair when he. flaunt6 the costliness of church edifices as an argument against them, and vet proposes to erect handsome, and therefore expensive, temples of music and art.

He charges the churches with hard heartedness for refusing to make their buildings asylums for tramps, and knows that he would not, not being a fool, permit his propo*ed temples to be converted into such asylums, foreign to and subversive of their design.

He proposes as a substitute for churches, temples of music and art, ,and neg lee's to state that the church always has been, and is to day, the truest and bes1 patron ofmusic and art,—the one place on this fair round earth where whosoever will may hear without price the fines* music, and look upon the choicest specimens of architectural and decorative art. v,

He charges churches with unchantablcness in not making their edifices asylums, and neglects to state that the thousands of charitable enterprises inaugurated and carried on, year after year have always owed their success to the churches and church members.

He ridicules piiests and Dreachers lor believing in horrible and paralyzing superstitions, and fjrgets to say that they visit the sick, comfort the sorrowing, minister to the afflicted, bind up the raveled sleeve of care, and bury the dead, while artistic souls ar blasphema

1

He would abolish the church because of its ignorance, and forgets that it has been the patron of education, the founder and inspirer of educaiional institutions the world over.-

He rails at the immoral'ty of ministers here and there, and forgets to mention that the churches are the sole organizations in the lanct which teach the loftiest morality known to men, for Col. Inger soil himself only'attempted to show that some other books taught a morality nearly as good as that which blazes on every page of the New Te?tament.

Granted, that some dogmas of the church can be ridiculed. The churches themselves cannot be, so long as preach ers and priests are foremost in every good work, and the white hoods of Sisters of Charity are symbols of purity in the eyes ot dying mer\ and ^wotnen all over the world

bkROM the editorial columns of the New York World of April joth, we take the following article which explains itself:

A correspondent in Portland, Maine, kindly sends us word that the following sentence, attributed to The World, has been published in a paper called the New Era, in that citv, and in other of what he describes as greenback papers" in the state: "The American laborer must make up his mind henceforth not to be so much better off than the European laborer. Men must be content to work for less wages. In this way the laboring-man will be.nearer that station in lite to which it has pleased God to call him."

Wc are a trifle tired of "branding" this particular calumny, which is of importance to us Solely because those who propoga'e it do so with intent, to misrepresent «iot only The World but the Democratic party. We have more than o.ice explained that no such sentiment was ever expressed in The World, and that the original inventor of the paragraph was a deliberate liar, who manufactured it out of words and phrases cuiled with interit to lie out of different part* of a column this journal. If the New Era is edited outside of a penitentiary this notice will bring it to decency. If this notice fails to bring it and all others whom it may concern to decency it may become necessary to show them a tetter though, a harder way.

It only remains to be said that the extract quoted by the World, was printed and stood for weeks in the columns of the GAZETTE'S esteemed contemporary, the Morning Distress, along with several other articles of perhaps ihe same authelicity from other papers. The article is probably now in type for future use. \.

A

bear which has been made to dance recently in the streets of Paris became enraged and attacked the crowd. One of the spectators had his nose broken and his face fearfully lacerated. A child and several other persons were severely injured. Finally the soldiers, after great difficulty, got the mastery over the brute.

THE BANKRUPT LAW. The whole time of the House yesterday was taken op with the bankrupt repeal bill. The report in the GAZETTE yesterday conclQded while they were still debating the subect. Subsequent proceedings until the final vote was taken are embodied herein. As is known the bill repealing the bankrupt law originated in the Senate. It made an unconditional repeal. The bill pas*ed the Senate by a handsome majority. When it came before the House, yesterday, a fight is made to refer to the Judiciary Committee, and also to amend it. changing the purport of the bill, but such tactics did not prevail. Kelley, Butler and Ewing were the chief opponents of the bill. Amendment was made to it, however, but in such way as to make the bill more effective. The report of this part of the proceedings is as follows:

Mr. Knott thought there might be grave doubts as to whether the bill passed by the Senate would effect the repeal of the bankrupt law. He would therefore move to amend the bill 60 as to repeal title 6t of the revised statutes, and the 911 approved June,

1S74,

purposes, approved June

entitled

an act to amend an act to establish su uniform system of bankruptcy." He would also offer an amendment to the bill so that penal actions for criminal prosecutions arising prior to the passage of the bill, under the acts proposed to be repealed, shall continue in full force until disposed of.

This proposition was fought fiercely by those who wished to delay proceedings or to so amend the repeal bill as to destroy its effect. But all was without avail. All hostile amendments were voted down. The amendment offered by Mr. Knott was accepted. As amended the bill is as follows: "That the bankrupt law, approved March

2, 1876,

title

of the revised

statues, and an act entitled 'a:i ac': to amend and supplement an act entitled an act to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy Ihrcughout the United States,' approved March

and all acts in amendment or supplementary thereto, or in explanation thereof, be and the 6amc are hereby repealed provided, that such repeal 6hall in no manner invalidate or affect any case in bankruptcy instituted and pending

when this act shall take effect, but as to all such pending cases and all future proceedings therein, and all penal actions and criminal proceedings arising therein un^er the acts hereby repealed, shall continue in full force and effect until the same shall be disposed of, in the same manner as if said acts had not been repealed."

This was passed by a vote of

206 10

39It will be seen that the Senate bill was amended. To be sure the amendment only makes the original Senate bill more effective, but still it a change. By reason of this amendment, the bill must be sent back to the Senate and the amendment be ap proved by that bo.^v before it can be turn ed over, for his signature, to the President and be made a law. Of course the Sen ate will pas6 the bill as amended by the House, for the change, as already stated only makes the bill more certain of accomplishing the object tor which it was intended. 'I he Senate adjourned yester day until Monday. Nothing can be done therefore, by it until .then. It is safe to say, though, that it will pass th»» bill on that day of-, at the latest, on Tuesday. By Wednesday it may be signed, and become a law at once.

It will be seen, therefore, that the day8 in which it will be possible for persons to wipe out old scores by going into bankruptcy are numbered. Five days only are left and there rri iy be even less than that. It, therefore, behooves all persons whose liabilities are greater than their assets, and who are really bankrupts in fact, to avail thini»elve& of the few day6 remaining to tht-in under the law.

JOHN* MORRISEY, Senator of the State of New York, died at his home in Sara, toga, at seven o'clock last night. Morrisey was a prize fighter in early life, and has been a professional gamester always, betting on every game of change known of men, and the proprietor of gambling houses in New York and at Saratoga. He was a member of Congress one- term. He was elected la»t year to the State Senate from a New York city district by a fusion of all the opposition tu the regular Tammany candidate. Though not engaged in pursuits which will furnish materials for a Sunday school bi ography of the good little boy order, Morrisey was always accounted "a square man." He didn't cheat and he wouldn't lie. He stuck to his friends and his friends stuck to him. He was not engaged in modei pursuits but he eonducted them in a model manner. His life has a moral, but what it is we have forgotten at this instant.

GRAPES FROM THORNS. It is the opinion in Shylock circle* that the working men of the United Si atet should submit to starvation cheerfully and pleasantly, blessing the Bepublicau party and their be'oved country as they expire. But it is hurd for men to do this. Not one man in a thousand can go through the ordeal just as 1 be Shy lacks think that be ought to do it. —[Morni»K Distress.

The GAZETTE quite agrees with its sinsick neighbor in regard to the folly of expecting the workingmen to support the Republican party. It is a bftter pill which workingmen will not swallow. So nauseous a pill is it that workingmen will not swallow it, even when sugar-coated as the Notionals have nxed it up to catch them in the coming municipal election. Of course workingmen will not submit to starvation cheerfully and pleasantly, blessing the Republican party and their beloved country as they expire." Thank you for that phrase. No more will they pleasantly bless" life-long Republican?, who voted with the party during.all the miserable years when it had control of the whole machinery of government, and enacted the legislation which the Democrats fought fiercely against at the time, and which these sugar-coated Republicans, called Notionals, n«w pretend to condemn. Though you plaster them over with resolutions an irch thick, to this complexion must they come at last. The Notional candidates in the coming municipal election are every one of them Republicans. Men do not make the architects of their misfortunes their leaders in reform. Grapes are not gathered "from thorRS no- figs from thistles

It is an attribute of Divinity to hate sin and love the sinner. Mankind has not learned to apply the lesson in politics,and it is doubtful if they ever will. For its manifold sins of omission and commission Democrats hate the Republican party, and when Republicans are put up for office will vote against them, even though to escape their condemnation they call themselves Notionals

Take the whole Notional ticket, from Joseph Wildy candidate for Mayor, to Sylvester Owen," candidate for Councilman in the Sixth ward. Every one voted for the Republican party during the time it enacted the laws which the Democrats then opposed and do now oppose. They have given the seal of their approval by voting for it since. Read the li«t. Joseph Wildy, candidate for Mayor was a Republican two months ago. His Notionalism dates back only to the ist of April and came along with these dreadful showers and muddy roads. If yo.: should forget when Joe became a Notional, remember the time when people began to say: "Confound these rains, ther are going to spoil everything." and you have got it. That is when Joseph, changed. What Joseph wiil be when it quits raining nobody can tell.

Mr. Harris' case is even more unique. He is a Councilman from the Fifth ward. He was elected two years ago. He was elected as a Republican. He voted the Republican ticket then. He voted it in the fall of

1S76.

The Cubans were, doubtless, much impressed by the sight of those "visaing 1 statesmen," Senators Kirkwood and before Hamlin. Both bore huge palm-leaf fans i"Th/re ii nothing to laugh about now er.. Mr. Hamlin wore no necktie. He had 1

on an ancient battered stovepipe hat, a

He voted it la,t spring.

He would have voted it last fall if there had been an election. He always voted the Republican ticket, and ver voted anything else. Come to think ot it, he is a member of the Council now. In fact he is Republican member of the Council He has been a very creditable member, too, but he has been a Republican member all the same, and will be until hia successor is elected. Doubtless very conflicting emotions swell in his bosom when he reads, the Morning Diatrebs. As a life long Republican and a present Republican Councilman lie rages when he reads that his party ha6 played "Hell on the Wabash." Asa Notional, he throws up his hat at the way the wickedness of that rotten and effete organization is exposed and denounced. Over a single issue he might kick himself and throw up his hat twenty times, greatly to the destruction of the apparel covering tho6c ex'remes. What i» true cf these two candidates whor« cabe-s we have particularized, is true of them all. It is distressing, truly, to see seven gentlemen going around canvassing for votes, and trying t«» persi v.de people that they are go^d «o-dav. by proving that they were awful villains a few weeks a^o. Perhaps the only sat isfaciion they' get out cf the canvass bv goir.g into a corner and winking at one another over the capital joke they aae playing on the community. Have your little laugh out now, gentlemen. By all means have it before the election. Imitate the Frenchman who saw a bull in a pasture lot, arid laughed immoden »»ver the fun he was going to ha\c i: Catching him and rubbing 1m nose in the dirt. When he was sitting in the road a few minutes after, rubbing .himself and wi*h ing he had a hundred hand* to feel the sore places, be said, you will remember, (he was a Frenchman), "Be jjabers it was a foine thing I had me laugh

The Platform of tlie Party Adopted at the State Convention.

A Clear and Unequivocal Enunciation ol Principles—Sentiments Which the Masses Will Indorse.

J.?

The democracy of the state of Indiana assembled in delegate convention de clare:

That national bank notes shall be retired, and in lien thereof ihere shall be issued by the government an equal amount of treasury notes with full lejjal tender quality.

That we are in favor of making the United States notes, co nmonly called greenbacks, a full legal tender in payment of all debu, public and private, except such obligations only ai are by the terms of the original contracts under which they were issued, expressively payable in coin.

That the right to issue paper money as well as coin is the exclusive prerogative of the government, and such money hould be issued in such amounts as the sound business interests of the country may from time to time re-qui-e.

We are in favor if such legislation by congress as will authorize the taxation by the states of the United States notes in common with all other money.

That we deem it unwise and inexpedient to enact any further legislation for the funding of the national debt abroad, through the means of home syndicates or other methods and we believe the true policy ot the government and the best interests of the people wo.ild be subserved by legislating so as to distribute said debt among our peopie at home —affording them the most favorable and practical opportunities for the investment of iheir savings in the funded debt of the United States.

That we are in favor of such legislation which shall fix the legal rate of interest at not exceeding six per cer.tum per annum.

We demand the restoration of the silver dollar of 412)^ grains to the coin of the country, and with full legal tender quality in the payment of all debts, both oublic and private and that the coinage thereof shall be unlimited, and upor. the same terms and conditions as may be piovided for the coinage of geld.

That we are in favor of the immediate and unconditional repeal of the resumption act.

We are in favor of the most rigid economy in public expenditures, and we declare that the fee6 and salaries of all public officers should be reduced.

That we a*e in favor of the repeal ot the bankrupt act. That we sincerely deplore the recent violent collision between labor and capita!, and to prevent the recurrence thereof and to protect the future public order and secui ity we believe that the wages of corporations engaged in the business of mining, manufacturing and transportation should be a first lien upon the property, receipts and .earnings of said corporations, and that such lien should be declared, defined and enforced by appropriate legislation.

That we favor a passage of a law for the ventilation of coal mines—one that «ould be just to the miner and owrer.

The Democratic party is the friend of the common school system, and v/iil in every legitimate way labor for its ijjeess, and will oppose any attempt to Jivert any portion of the common schoo fund to any sectarian purpose.

That the last apportionment of the state for legislative purposes was grossly unjust and dishonorable, and we demand that the next legislature, in apportioning the state for legislative pui poses, as will be their imperative duty, snail have regard alone to population and contiguity of territory.

That the jurisdiction claimed and exercised by the circuit courts of the United States over questions of ccrporate and individual rights arising under the laws of the states tends to oppress and burden litigants to such an extent as to amount to a practical denial of justice in many cases and we consider the legislation which has conferred such jurisdiction a» unwise and hurtful to the true interests of the peep!-. And we demand such legislation a.« ni'.l ie*trict and limit the jurisdiction ot 6uch courts to such matters as are clearly contemplated by the constitution and expressed in the judiciary act of

1789.
