NOTHING is more certain than that Grant will be nominated at Chicago next Thursday.

KEARNEY signalized his release from jail by addressing his followers on the sand lots in San Francisco Saturday night.

The Indiana Republican delegates will make an effort to securc Ben Harrison the Vice Presidential nomination as a tail to the Grant kite.

DECORATION Day was appropriately celebrated in this city yesterday, the interest in the event seeming to increase instead of'diminish as the years pass by.

THE GAZETTE for Saturday gave the proceedings of the Democratic County Convention up to the hour of going to press. The concluding' portion is given to-day. The convention, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, was largely attended and harmony prevailed

REV. WM. MCK. DARWOOD deliver ed, the third of his lectures on the "Mistakes of Jngersoll" at Asbury M. E. church, last night. A full abstract will b« found in to-day's GAZETTE. It will bear perusal and to it the GAZETTE desires to call the particular attention of its readers.

THE Mound Builders of North America are a puzzle to the scientist, and W. Rippetoe is a puzzle to hit hosts of riends. Jast how he can gather such mmense stocks of fruits, vegetables, berries, groceries—staple and fancy—and provisions of all kinds, just exactly what you want, always reasonable, alvvajs pure, is a mystery sure encugh. Go to the White Front, read the enigma, and £et the best bargains in the city.

WHITTAKER.

The military court which tried Whittaker has found that he mutilated himself. He is now in confinement and if the finding of the court is approved by the War Department will be dismissed from the Academy. The champion negro outrage for this ear has proved to be a miserable canard. West Point deserve* congratulations on the certain discovery that his mutilation )was self-inflicted. It now in order for some harsh words against that institution to the withdrawn

The Grant men have been playing it very finely with regard to the preliminary arrangements for theChicago convention. A Mr. Root who was at the head of the management for preparing the hall, being an anti-Grant man, he waR tenderly but firmly deposed irom his position by the Grant majority in the committee, and under the present management, instead of arranging seats in the gallery for the contested delegates from Illinois, as he would have done they will be seated with the others, and thus when the issue krises it will be made one of expulsion instead of one of admision of those delegates. When a resolution is offered as of course it will be, that these delegates retire until the contest is settled a motion -will be made to table the resolution, and as many of the Blaine, Washburne and

Sherman delegates are personally for Grant though instructed against him and as it will not be a violation of their pledge to vote for the admission of a Grant delegation, they will vote to table the resolution, the delegates will remain and the matter will be virtually settled. The remainder of the proceedings will then be the same as if there had been no contest and the boom, being reinforced by the prestige «f another grand victory will carry the silent man through on its turbulent but irresistible tide.

THE CENSUS.

The GAZETTE one day last week in its local page contained botne vauable information in relation to the taking of the census. The appointments have been made and the work began today and must be completed on the 14thIt is on every account desirabla that the work should be accurately done and in order that this may be accomplished will be necessary for citizens to render every assistance possible to the enumerators. A few days ago an exchange gave eorr»c valuable advice on thin poin which we cannot do better than copy It said:

Do not mistake the enumerators, when they call on you, for assessors,.dogtax collectors, constables, lightning-rod men, or insurance and book agents. Their errand is a pleasant one, to obtain information that will go to show, when it is summed up, what progress we have made as a nation in population, wealth, education, &c.

It will greatly facilitate the work of the enumerators if the head of the house, or some member of the family, prepares the statistics beforehand. Count up the babies, find out when they were born, how many are of school age, and how many under or over it, and if names are wanted, have a list made out for the enumerators to pick from.

Find out whether you were born in this country or abroad whether you are of American, English, Irish or German descent, and of what generation whether you can read, write and spell in one or more languages, wbioh is your native tongue, and how many of the family are in the same fix.

Take a mental survey of your wealth, and make an honest estimate of your property, personal and real and ascertain if you can what business you are in, and how much you hare invested, and get together as much information as you can, in a general way, touching your domestic and business affairs.

The enumerators may also want to knon what church you belong to, or whether you are free thinkers. They have no right to go into details, or put you through a series of questions as to the creed you take stock in. The census law doe6 not require you to state whether you belieye in a personal devil or not, or what your opinions are touching the future state, as it relates strictly to the affairs of this world.

Nor are the enumerators to inquire into your domestic relations, whether happy or not, or whether you contemplate matrimony or divorce. The information would be valuable to social philosophers, but it does not come strictly within the purview of the law. If you keep cats and dogs to raise particular Ned in the alleys and on the kitchen roofs of moonlight nights, you need not give the information, though it would be immensely satisfactory to know the exact number of old boots and shoes, boot-jacks and brickbats annually wasted by your neighbors in an attempt to exterminate them.

But don't be suspicious of the enumerators, or reticent, when they ask questions. They have no sinister purpose, no malevolent object. Treat them courteously, and ply them with information till they cry enough. They are agents of the "best government the shines upon," and are so entitled to respect and consideration. And they will take the census, whatever conscientious scruples you may have against it founded upon punishment inflicted on David and the Hebrew people for doing the same thing a few thousands years ago. That warning i6 of no account now. People have got to that point of intelligence where a little wholesome information about themselves and their occupations and wealth as a social aggregate does no harm, and is productive of good.

THE Presbyterian General Assembly which adjourned sine die, yesterday, at Madison, Wis., decided to send a copy of esolutions in favor of the extinction of the Mormons, to President Hayes, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House and Governor Murray Of tah.

We shall deplore the day when physical force is used to suppress MormonisraIf our institutions are not enough superior to Mormonism to live :t down they are not enough superior to make it worth the trouble to substitute them for Mormonism even if such substitution were possible. We must be brave enough to stand by the principle of "right ends only by right means," no matter what it may cost nor how great the temptation may be to establish a great right by a litt tie wrong. If it had been desirable tha wrong should be forcibly suppressed God would have killed Satan before he ac®ampli8hed his deviltry in the Garden o{ EJen.

Goss and Ryan yesterday met and mauled each other through eighty-seven rounds lasting an hour and forty minutes: Assurance was given the authorities that there would be no violation of the lawk ot Pennsylvania and they fulfilled this promise by having the fight in West Virginia. The authorities seem to be as powerless to prevent prize fighting as if there were no laws against it. In faqt the law is little more than a dead letter. Seldom is a prize fight prevented from taking place when the parties really want to fight, and when interfered with, is only deferred, though the expected fight is published weeks beforehand, and much more frequently occurs that the parties, who are each afraid of the other, are obliged to wait for the officers to prevent the contest.

In the House yesterday an amendment was adopted to the deficiency bill providing that the salaries of members of Congress be taid in silver dollars also an amendment appropriating $25,000 for the benefit of the daughter and grand-daughter of Zachary Tailor.

PUBLIC OPINION.

What the People Think on Various Topics.

ASSE.Vr Tift It01:GH THE iTIAIOS

THE COLOR LINE.

To the Editor of the GAZETTE: I read with considerable interest the ar ticle of colored voter, as well as that of J. P. Anderson, on the independent and intelligent action of the colored voter.

These circumstances clearly indicate the rapid progress our citizens are making, in the grand march of civilization. They will not be blinded by prejudice, nor be the hewers of wood nor drawers of water for any political party, but will make their influence by dividing he color lin.

They already see and feel that, as long they act solidly with any political party, that party will consider that all the colored voters are fit for is to keep them in power and place All the use that party has for them is to get their votes. Whenever a colored voter has dared to vote for other than a'Republican or the Republican ticket, there are not wanting Republicans who will abuse them for acting as freemen, declaring they are unworthy of citizenshsp. They virtually say "the negro is quallified to votet if he votes as we think and desire but otherwise not." But their grand advancement clearly indicates that they will think and vote as they feel as much so as the intelligent white voter.

It is an insult to the colored race to try to hold them to any party by endeavoring to make them believe that any party or set of men in this country would under any consideration place them back in slavery. They are not so dull nor so stupid, nor are they so blunt in the finer feelings of individual responsibility as to be lorded over by men no greater under the law than they.

Many of them see alraady that the destruction of negro slavery in this country is not the direct result of the avowed and open act of one political party more than another, except it be that of the true abolitionists.

Slavery was destroyed under the pie of a military necessity, and for the sam reason they were enlisted in the army, many white men saying at the time that they were as good to "stop rebel bullets as anybody.r

Take the declaration of the Republican party at the breaking out of the war and it will be seen that they denied having ai»y intention whatever of freeing the slaves. Then a little farther on, when the rebellion began to get more dangerous, the cry was "Save the Union, let slavery go up or go down." Then in the course of time came the plea of "military necessity." And during all these bloody years Republican speakers and papers said that all parties must be ignored and that all true and loyal men must ra ly under the name of the "Union Party," and the true history of those times shows that the ruling party of the North was the "Union Party" from 1863 to the end of the war, after which Republicans aeain rallied under the old name of Republican, but in the great revolution, many of the worst men in the countrea, as is always the case, came into power, and the Darty was sinking and loosing on all sides,* then.under the plea of party necessity the freedmen werejenfranchised This is history and should be studied by all men who wish to vote intelligently.

A WHIT* VOTER.

REPUBLICAN CLU8 MEETING Mr. R. B. F. Pierce, of Crawfordsville Republican candidate for. congress, addressed the Young Men's Republican Club last evening. There was a large crowd present and a good deal of enthusiasm was manifested, the speech was a good one throughout and elicited round after round of applause. Mr. Pierce is a fluent speaker. After the address the committee on badges reported that 200 badges will be here next week and that they will be on sale for 60 cents apiece. A number of new members were admitted. It was decided to engage both the Ringgold and McKeen Cadet bands to furnish music for the Indianapolis excursion. After the reports of some committees appointed to make arrangements for the excursion, the meeting adjourned.
