A Foundling.

Last Saturday evening about 9 o'clock a little girl baby was left at the residence of Mr. James Mann, a teamster, living at 125 Pearl 6treel with the following note attatched to its clothes "Please take care ot this child for a friend. It was born Aug. 18."

The baby was brought in and laid at tbe foot of abed on which John Heady, a teamster employed by Mr. Mann was lying and he being very sick a«d thinking it was Mr. Mann's son putting down a bundle, did not raise his bead. It was afterward discovered and he summoned Mrs. Mann. Mre. Mann intends to keep •be child and care for it as her own,and if it is not claimed within a month sh will legally adopt it. Mrs. Mann is good woman and ill, no doubt, majte ft a gcod mother.

BAD BUSINESS.

A Shortage Discovered in the County Treasury of Parke. Our neighbor county of Parke is jus now enjoying a first class sensation and tbe papers of this week come to hand with a deluge ot information on the subject. The trouble is caused by the dis covery of a serious shortage in th9 office of the couoty treasurer. Tbe total deficiency is set at $12,000 by the friends of the county treasurer. The county commissioners are mixed up in the aftair too. and the whole thinsr is so complicated that it would take ten Philadelphia lawyers to get at the bottom facts. The great trouble appears to be that the parties interested tried to keep it hidden instead of making a bold breast of it, and that gives tbe press and people cause to believe tbe worst. It's a crooked case at tbe b«st. The county's balance sheets fail to give satisfaction and one ot the papers retnaks that the word S pecific" seems to be a nice word to cover up a multitude of sins.

JUST IN TIME.

A Brother Arrives In Time to Get a Glimpse of a Dead Sister. It is not always that one sees or hears of such a touching incident as one that occurred at the cemctery yesterday. Mrs. Schneider, wite of theU.rman journalist, was being buried. Tbe coffin had been lowered into the grave and the sexton's assistant was just about to ^cover it with earth when a brother uf the dead woman, from Pittsburg, arrived upon the scene. He had jubt come in on the train and finding that tbe fun-ral was already in progress hurried in a buggy to the cemetery. The wotk was suspended and Undertaker Eatzenbach got down into tbe grave and unscrewed the face covering so that he could get one last look at his sister before lier familiar face was put away forever. The Pcene was so toocbiDg that manj are eaid to have broken into tears.

Tbe about* of praise that could have been called torth from those little throatswould have added very materially to the ceremonies that took place and would bare bfeen just as acceptable to the noble benefactor of tbe friendless orphan. Christ said: "The poor ye have always with yon." And there area great many ways of administering to their comfort. It is not in giyiog food and raiment alone. But when we can give tbetn a treat, a pleasant surprise and more especially do so at another's expense let us hasten to do it.

General Political Hews From, all Qntftm-

A CORRUPT MAN.

Mr». Ex-Senator Merrill's Opinion or the Character of James 6. Blaine. WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—[Louisvi.le Courier-Juurnal Special.]—The following important and highly interesting dispatch from Augusta, Me.,"appears in today's New York Herald:

The late Senator Lot M. Morrill, of Maine, represented the purest a. best methods in politics. As bis successor, James G. Blaine represented the worst. The clear facts of Blaine's ten years' leadership of the party in Maine leaves no doubt on that point. When Senator Morrill resigned the Senatorsbip to accept tbe Treasury portfolio under Qrant, as will be remembered, Mr. Blaine was appointed his successor. Senator Morrill died here eighteen months ago. His widow, wbo is tbe daughter of the late Mr. Vance, who In his day was one of the most prominet citizens of this section, lives in a pleasant home on Winthrop street, this city. She is a lady evidently of great force of oharacter and was the valued associate, confident and helpmate of ber distinguished husband, both in the Executive Mansion of this State and duriog the macy years of his residence at Washington as Senator and Secretary of tbe Treasury.

Mrs. Morrill was recently surprised to receive from Ohio an official letter directed to her late husband. Opening it, she found it to be a very importunate appeal for Senator Morrill to visit Ohio, and to lend his aid in saving the State to Mr. Blaine.

Mrs. Mori ill turned the sheet over, and wrote on its back an indignant reply, and mailed it forthwith to the gentleman who had signed the appeal.

The Herald correspondent called on Mrs. Morrill at her residence this evening. 8he is still in deep mourning, and consented to receive tbe visitor with great reluctance: but she sakl that the exigency created by Mr. Blaine's nomination is so important that she. was convinced all private feelings should be subordinate to it Aa her husband hai been one of the most distinguished, loyal aud upright members of the Republican party as he had assisted in its formation, had been one of ita first Governors elected in this state, and held its traditions .and its principles faithfully until his last conscious moment, sbe knew that if alive to-day he would feel that it waadi-graoed 'by tbe nomination of Mr. Blaine aa its candidate for President, and that it had let go ot all that made its existence necessary to the country. •'When Garfield was nominated," said Mrs. Morrill, "be said to me sadly and seriously: "My dear, the RepuDlican candidate will be elected this time but unless new methods are used in the partyi and new and better men become its leaders, he will be the last one. You will live to see a Democrat elected tour years hence 1 will not.' My husband," continued Mrs. Morrill, *'died of his devotion to tne party of which he tous so sadly spoKe. It is unquestioned that the breaking down of his health dated from bis, pernaps, too faitbiul perfoimance of his dutie* ID the Treasury Depsrtment."

To a question of the correspondent as to the Ohio letter, Mrs. Mot rill said. "Some six weeks ago 1 received a letter from Columbus, O., on a sheet niib a printed bead representing some political organization, was so surprised anu tuuijfuaut at ita contents that 1 aid not paiticulafly notice wnetber it was from a State Committee, a County Committer or some political ciub but was signed b) a Mr. Brown as chairman, and a Mr. Ogden as Secretary. It was, as well as 1 can remember it, about as follows: "'SENATOR LOT M. MORRILL—Dear Sir: Tne situation in Obio is a critical oue. The party is iu trouble on account oi the attacks on Mr. Blaine as the candidate of the pat ty. Ycur well-known character as a pure and upright statesman, and coming from Blaine's own stale, you could refute the charges as no one else can. We hope you will come to us in this emergency and make as many speeches as possible." 1 was indignant aud amazed that any Republican should be iguorant that-ruy husband was dead. 1 was more indignaDt taat be should be asked, to assist in making Mr. Blaine President. 1 at once sat dowi and wrote on the back of the sheet this reply, ji9 near as 1 van remember it. I am sorry that I did not ittep copies of ootn the letter and mv an«w-r: "•io BROWN, CHAIRMAN, COLUMBUS, O.:—1 am surprised and shocked to receive such a communication. 1 thought every citizen of this country kuew my husband was at rest. 1 am in mourning tor him but as much as I mourn his death, 1'than^ my Father in heaven that He called him home before tbe party he loved so well and did so much for had so disgraced itself as to nominate so wicked and corrupt a man for the highest office within the gift of tbe people, as I know, and my husband knew, James G. Blaine to be. It be were alive he would not support Mr. Blaine, or any such man, even at the bidding of his party. 'CHARLOTTE MORRILL.' ''My husband," continued Mrs. Morrill, -'was visited by Mr. Blaine at the beginningoi the Concessional investigation into the Little Root railroad bonds. Mr. Blaine, as be did to Mulligan, itnooriuoed my busband witn tears aud entreaties to use his influence to save him. When my busMnd resigned to go into tbe Cabinet, it was generally understood. and my husband so understood, that Governor Chamberlai would be appointed to fill the vacancy. Instead, and to the surprise cf every «ne. Governor Connor appointed Mr. Blsine, then a Representative in Congress and under charges in that body, to tbe vacancy/'

As Mrs. Morrill intimated, the appointment ot Mr. Blaine to tbe vaoancy was evidently to aave bim from the further investigation and the inevitable incriminating verdict of tbe committee. Governor Connor had his reward. He is now Pension Agent for this State, tbe best office next to the Ccllebtorship.

A dispatch from Columbus, Obio, reports Chairman Oglesbe and Secretary Brown, of the Republican committee as denying that they sent a letter to Senator Morrill or received a letter from his widow. The denial is unimportant. Somebody sent a letter and Mrs. Morrill answered it. The important thing is what she wrote and what ahe thinks, as also what her husband thought of Blatne, whom both knew welL

THE TERKE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.^

HENDRICKS ON BUTLER,

A Rather Remarkable Statearaat INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 6.—In an interview in this aiteruoon'a News Gov. Hendricks was asked: "What do you think wtll be the result of the Batler canvass?" ''That is very difficult to answer. Mr. Batler is ur questionably a very dangerous man before an audience and he will attract larae audiences, and were the election to occur today should be inclined to concede him a considerable vote, but the weakening process is going on steadily. People do not like to throw votes away. The certainty that his elec* tion is impossible under any circumstances will deter many of his admirers from voting tor him and it is also impossible lor him to expect as perfect an organization a£ that possessed by either of the old parties, but Mr. Butler is a remarkable man, and those who know him best admit that he is a very good one."

If tne Chicago convention had placed your name at the head of the ticket, don't yon think that you would have had bis support" asked the reporter. "1 know it," said Mr. Hendricks warmly, "i know it."

BLAINE'S SUIT.

The Sentinel Hurrying Blaine Up. INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 6.—Another step was taken in the fe'deral court tc-day in the Blaine—Sentinel matter by tbe filing of the following:

Defendants move the court for a rule against the plaintiff berein to answer interrogatories under oath as recited and filed with tbe answer of defendants, and that the caurt shall make such rule re turnable at such time as may be deemed best by the court to be reasonable for the purpose of said action as by tbe statute provided and required."

Argument could not be beard upon the motion to-day and in as much as Judge vfoods goes to Ft. Wayne on Monday to hold court the matter will probably not be ruled upon for several days. Plaintiff's counsel have not refused to answer interrogatories.

tax's HAVa A JOINT DEBATK. The Bockville Signal ssys: "Well, our people have waited about long enough for that challenge, Mr. Johnston. What are you going to do about it, anyhow? You know it is the part of tbe new man to challenge the man in office. Lamb challenged Peirce, and Lamb being in office you are to challenge him now. Furthermore, yon remember your committee said, "Yes, we just «ant to see you, Jim, chaw that Lamb all to pieces in the debates and you'll do it too, wont you Jim and you answered "Y-y-y-es." Now come op, old fellow, ana'do your chawing. It looks bad to see an old timer like you stand back for a boy. Of course you're not afraid of him. N-n-no. We would like to see the "chawin" begin.

DOING THBM DP.

John F. Scanlan, the Irish orator, spoke at Vincennes the other night. Tbe Sun of that place remarks: "The Democrats ought to volunteer to pay the expenses oi other speakers of Scanlan's stripe, and have them ora'e berr. It would iocrease our majority io Knox county materially."

JOHN ROYCB, W. R. MATTOX, President Secretary. FT FANCY MOVEMENTS. Those who saw the performances of Co. A, Cleveland and Hendricks Escort, iast night on Main street,were delighted. The execution of tbe ''labrinth" at the corner of Sixth and Main drew a very large crowd who watched the intricate movements wiih the greatest interest, and the perfect movements of the men excited favorable comments from every one. The "echelon four" movement was very pretty.

MEETING IN THE SIXTH WARD. There will be a meeting of the young men of the Sixth ward, Monday eveninsr, at 1,389 Popular street for tbe purpose of organising a John E. Lamb club. The meeting is called for 7:90 o'clock and all who sympathize with its objects are invited to attend

PresaCeameat

Eastern Argus, Portland, Me.: Tha Massachusetts Independents appreciate just the kind of juggler they have to deal

with and have been looking up his Watshiagton soeial record, with aboadant results in the scandal line. It confirms the statement of Mr. Gifford'* letter that Mr. Bla.no wae refused association with Senator Morril'a family, and it reveals the sad tale of

seduction of a

married Washington lady, who was pu1 undtfr his "protection" for the voyage to Europe by h«r devoted husband. The lady's father was a native ot Maine of high standing and national reputation.

Philadelphia Press: The Blaine libel suit was let off with the enthusiasm and roar of a rocket. It looksnow as though it might prove a boomerang instead.

Indianapolis Sentinel: Respectfully submitted: That a nun with no more sense than to bring a libel suit, with full proof running at large of what has been reported of him, has not sense enough to re id

Mr. Bynu was present and addressed the olub biiefly. The meeting was an enthusiastic one, and the Vandalia boys may be relied upon to do their duty.

LOCAL POLITICS.

The Third ward Democrats held a meeting lsst night at the corner ot Second and Vine streets. About 200 persons were present. Ecgene V. Debs, nominee for the Legislature, msde the speech ot the evening. He dismissed calmly aod logically the proposition in the Republican state platform to hold a constitutional amendment cosvention with a view to adopting prohibition. His remarka were listened to with the greatest attention. In response to cslls, S. B. llamill, John Cleary, Ph Dip Schloss snd A. J. Kelley made a

few

remarks. Commit

teeman Joseph M. Wildy presided. H. F. Corbin, drummer for the Cincinnati wholesale.liquor house of Tullidge & Co., is in the city to-day. He says the prospects are that Ohio will go Democratic next mouth. He has traveled a gfeat deal over the oountry lately and has made the Presidential question a subject of special investigation. He says New Yora will give Cleveland a big majority and that Indiaba is as sure a Democratic state as there is in the whole columo. The silent vote this year will be with the Democrats snd tbe business nun of tho East are for Cleveland. He wa. at Buffalo, the home of Governor Cleveland, and he heard enough expressions from men of influence and standing wbo heretofore have voted nothing but the Republican ticket to convince him that there is no room for doubt as to the result in the state.
