In the three-minute class Phallas was an easy winner in the first heat at and in the second a bad third in 2:32, at which much unfavorable comment was made, and the judges declared all pools ©n that heat off. There was quite a contest for the second place between Cornelia and Tony Newell, the latter winning. The win ners were strong favorites, Wilson at SIOO to $lO, aud Phallas SSO to $5.

Cincinnati, 0., Aug. B.—During the eighth inning of the game between Louis ville and Cincinnati to-day, Cincinnati being at the bat, Carpenter ran from third to the home plate, where Whiting, catcher of the Louisvilles, stood to receive the ball thrown from the short-stop. Carpenter made a slide to reach the home plate, and struck Whit ing’s ankle with the spike of his shoe, mak ing a wound reaching to the bone. Carpenter was declared out, but Whiting wa9 unable to do anything more and the game stopped. Whiting’s injury is very painful. Destructive Fire in Baltimore. Baltimore. Aug. B.—A fire this morning destroyed tnC tinware factory of Mat thai, Ingrafts Cos.. Wington and Arch streets, together with nil the Machinery and stock. The fire originated from a gasoline fire-pot used by the solderers, and spread with such rapidity that nothing whatever was saved, and the hands had barely time to escape. The building of Mattbai, Ingrams Cos. was 70 by 120 feet, three stories high, and valued at $20,000, upon which there is insur ance of $12,000. The loss on machinery and stock is estimated at $75,000; insurance, $30,- 000 The tire spread westward, and de stroyed the roofs of two large three-story houses on Lexington street, and three small houses on the same street were destroyed. Fourteen small houses on Montgomery street and four on Arch were damaged. One house was wrecked by a falling wall. Three hundred hands are out of employment. The losses on the small houses are covered by in surance. The Rate War at Chicago. Chicago, Aug.

Regarded with Suspicion, He Leaves Ameri ca to Escape the Aveugers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Aug. B.— One of the leading spirits in the Irish agitation in the country, a resident of New York, said to your corre spondent this evening: “I have not the slightest doubt that James McDermott, whose arrest for conspiracy against the British gov ernment was mentioned in the dispatches from London, is an informer, and that his arrest is a trick. He is a consciousless ras cal, and has been suspected for three or four years of being an agent of the English gov ernment and an informer. Three years ago Michael Scanlan, the old Fenian leader, notified the Irish Nationalists in New York to be on their guard against McDermott, as he was a treacherous man. The fellow has been one of the loudest mouthed patriots in the country, and while he was talking the loudest, he was trading with the British to sell his country. Os this I have not the slightest doubt He was in France during the trial of the four Brooklyn Irishmen who were given twenty years, in London, four weeks ago, for conspiracy, and the ‘lnvincibles’ had reliable information that he furnished evidence to convict ihem. These four men were as good men as ever breathed. When McDermott visited Dub lin about this time, several attempts were made to kill him, and lie fled to America to escape assassination at the hands of the avengers. About two weeks ago he was shot at while in a drinking-saloon on Chatham street, New York, the bullet just grazing his head. He was regarded with sus picion on every hand, and on the 25th beset sail for England, to escape the avengers at home. He was followed by one or two *ln vincibles’ from Dublin, and it was one of these who shot at him through a saloon window on Cathaiu street. If he had not fled from New York he would certainly have been killed. The British government arrested him on arrival at Liverpool to him. It is possible the government may put him on trial and convict him of conspiracy, but the proceed ing will be a farce. If the government lacks evidence to convict, he will furnish it him self. He is compelled to resort to this meas ure to protect himself, but he is too late. His treason is already known to the ‘lnvin cibles,’ and he is among the doomed. lie will be sent to join Carey sooner or later. McDermott is a reckless, daring spirit who has forced himself to the front in various Irish movements, and although distrusted from the first, he would not be put down. He gained the secrets of the leaders that he might betray the cause, and in this he has partially succeeded. He is thoroughly re deemed from virtue, and is well worthy the description of a moral imbecile. He was a member of the Pofie’s brigade in Italy, and was knighted by his Holiness for bravery in the battle of Spaletta. He served in that famous brigade with Colonel Coppirttrer, Blaine’s son-in-law, together with Keogh, who was killed with General Custer, General Gleason and many others who after ward served with distinction in the army. But after the war he went to the bad, and he has been going from bad to worse ever since. He was a newspaper reporter in Chicago and New York, and was in Washington for sev eral months. He was in the employ of Al. Daeget while the latter was a power in Brook lyn politics, and proved a usefui auxiliary of that shrewd politician so long as he was well paid. He has always professed the warmest allegiance for Ireland, and during the Fen ian excitement tenor fifteen years ago he was sent to Chicago to aid Michael Scanlan, the Fenian leader. It was then that the latter learned to distrust him and doubt the sin cerity of hie blatant proclamation of patriot ism. He has been a marked man for twelve months, but it is only since the conviction of the four Brooklyn Irishmen in London that his associates have had the proof on him. I can back up what I have told you with proof, if put to the test.” CHINESE WAR. SUPPLIES. The French Much Exercised Over the Ship ments from America. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Aug. 3.— The intelligence of the movement of munitions of war across the Pacific to China has caused in tense excitement among the Frenchmen re siding in Washington and New York. The French government have been notified of the departure of the arms, cartridges and tenting materials, and it is understood in diplomatic circles that the French men-of-war cruising in Chinese waters will be directed to intercept the steamer bearing the cargo if they can be reached in time. It i6 possible that the seizure, should any be at tempted, may lead to complications, but the diplomats of the State Department will be able to grapple with the situation when the emergency confronts them. The govern ment, said a State Department official, is concerned in the protection of the lives and INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST I), 1883. property of its citizens, but the seizure by France of guns shipped by an American firm to China would give rise to a complex and possibly troublesome question. SMUGGLED CHINAMEN. Capture of a Sloop at Tacoma Engaged in the Business. Washington, Aug. B.—The acting Secretary of the Treasury to-day received a telegram from the collector of customs at Tacoma; W. TANARUS., stating that his officers, with the as sistance of the revenue steamer Walcott, had captured a sloop engaged in running Chinese across the line from British Columbia. Two smugglers were arrested, but nine Chinese passengers escaped. The collector also stated that nearly one hundred Chinamen had landed at various points on the Northern frontier in boats and Indian canoes within the past few days, and that he is powerless to prevent their landing unless his force is largely increased. Secretary Folger will be back in a few days, and the subject will be brought to his attention at once. It was ex plained by an officer of the customs division that the law provides that no Chinese labor ers shall be permitted to enter the United States by land without producing to the proper officer of customs a certificate re quired of Chinese laborers seeking to land from a vessel, and that any Cninaman found unlawfully within the United States shall be caused to be removed therefrom, after being brought before a justice, judge, or commis sioner of the United States. But the duty of bringing Chinamen before a court or commis sioner, or taking action for their removal from the United States, is not devolved by law upon the customs officer. Notes aud Personalities. Washington, Aug. B.—Mr. W. C. Davis and wife, of Dublin, Ind.. are at the Riggs. The postoffice at Valley City, Harrison county, Indiana, has been abolished. The name of the postoflie at Jumbo, Porter county, Indiana, has been changed to Boone Grove. A cool request for August has reached the Treasurer of the United States from a ’West Virginian, who asks that SSOO be sent him with which to redeem all the trade dollars in his section of country. Captain Eads has thus far received $4,800,- 000 for his work at the mouth of the Missis sippi. Plans are being prepared at the Treasury Department for silver vaults to accommodate the excessive accumulation of silver dollars. It is proposed to locate one of these vaults at the New Orleans mint, and another in the basement of the Treasury Department.'There is an appropriation of sioo,ooo available for the construction of these vaults. IRON AND STEEL WORKERS. Proceeding* of Yesterday's Sessions of the Amalgamated Association. Philadelphia, Aug. 8. —The Amalgamated Iron and Steel Workers’convention resumed its deliberations this morning. The entire session was occupied with a number of un important resolutions. One of these limited the time of speech-making. President Jarrett announced his appointments on standing committees for the year, of which the following were made chairmen: Com mittee on resolutions, John G. Morgan, of Pittsburg; ways and means, Michael Grogan, of Wheeling; auditing, M. V. B. Salodo, of Sharpsburg, Pa.; grievences, John E. Cun ningham, of Pittsburg; claims, John D. Carey, of Pittsburg; appeals, M. J. Donagby, of Braddock, Pa.; constitution and general laws, T. J. Milligan, of Ironton, 0., good of the order, James H. Nutt, of Youngstown, 0.; secret work, P. T. Keeney, of Pittsburg; mileage, Wm. Weigh, of Pittsburg, Mr. Jarrett savs his reason for declining a re-election is not owing to ill health, but strictly on account of private business. At the afternoon session a petition was presented asking the delegates to extend their support to the meeting at Horticultural Hall on Sunday next, in the interest of the striking telegraph operators. The convention ignored the proposition to exert its influence in securing permission to hold social gatherings on Sunday in Fair mount Park. A proposition was brought up bj T J. W. Jel lison to extend the funds to support the strik ers in the Bethlehem Iron-works to $50,000. Twenty-five thousand dollars was sent iast night to 140 men on a strike at Bethlehem. A motion was made to draw on the surplus fund of $375,000 for any amount needed to sustain the Bethlehem strike, which is re garded as the most important one in the country. Jellison’s motion for $50,000 was sustained, and it was agreed to send the Bethlehem men SIOO,OOO per week if necessa ry. The association boasts of a fund on hand of $1,000,000 to support any strikes in the country. A proposition to identify the Amalgamated Association with the federation of trades of the United States was laid over for the pres ent. The reading of the president’s address oc cupied the greater portion of the afternoon session. In substance the report covered statistics relating to disputes between the as sociation and employers in the past year, in cluding the strike in the North Chicago Roll ing-mills, in which an agreement was ef fected. On the question of strikes it charges that they originate largely with the manu facturers. It criticises the neglect of the President to appoint a workingman on the late tariff commission. It also advocates the propriety of establishing a national bureau of industry, and organizing a federation of ail the trades without interfering with dis trict organizations. No Texas Cattle Fever at Dodge City. Dodge City, Kan., Aug. B.— The report tel egraphed from here, stating that the Texas fever was raging among our cattle in a malig nant form, is entirely untrue. Tnere has not been a single case of fever here, or near here, this season, nor has there been any form or species of disease among our stock resembling it in any manner. The stock never looked better nor so free from disease as at present. _ The Mormons Make m Clean Sweep in 3lo day’s Election. Salt Lake, Utah, Aug. B. —The returns from last Monday’s election come in slowly, and indicate an astonishingly light vote everywhere. Less than 2,700 votes were poll ed in this city, while the register was nearly 6,000. The proportion of votes to registra tion was about the same throughout the Ter ritory. The Mormons carry every county, having a hundred majority in Summit coun ty. which went for the gentiles last Novem ber. The gentiles elected a few justices of the peace and constables in mining camps. The Legislature is thought to be entirely Mormon. Tho gentiles abstained from vot ing, and cast les.> than 140 votes iu Salt Lake City. Many Mormons were displeased with their ticket, the Mormons being chiefly boys or youog men, many of whom take the places of their polygamous fathers. The Mormons do not crow over their victory, the leaders apparently observing a weakening of their power over the people, who would not go to the poll 9 to vote for such objectionable candidates. The Legislature will be remark ably weak, containing nothing like the abil ity that the old poiygamist bodies possessed. FORESTRY. Annual Meeting of tlie American Congress at Bt. Paul—Election of Officers. St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 8. —The annual meeting of the American Forestry Congress was held to-day in the capitol building. President George B. Loring in the chair. The congress was welcomed to the State by George L. Becker, president of the State Forestry Association, and Governor Hub bard. President Loring, in his annual ad dress, treated of the state of forestry in the United States. Resolutions were adopted in memory of Dr. J. A. Warder, of Ohio, L. R. Hodges, of St. Paul, and Arthur Bryant, of Prince ton, 111,, deceased members. The following officers were elected: Presi dent, George B. Loring, of Massachuaetts; vice-presidents, H. G. Folley, of Quebec, and George L. Becker, of St. Paul; recording sec retary, N. H. Eggleston, of Washington; corresponding secretary, B. E. Fernon, of Pennsylvania; treasurer, Charles Molie, of Alabama; executive committee, B. G. North up, of Connecticut; Marion Higbee, of Ohio; J. G. Canapp and J. S. Hicks, of New York; J. L. Budct, of lowa. A resolution was adopted, asking the Com missioner of Agriculture to call, during the winter, a meeting at Washington of repre sentatives of all associations and institutions devoted to the interests of forestry. K. Wright, of Boston, moved that a com mittee consider what effect the damming of tiit Mississippi and Missouri rivers would have on northern lorestry. The motion was carried. MICROSCOPY. Jt Application to the Prevention of Certain Forms of Disease. 5 Chicago, Aug. B. —At the morning session of the American Microscope Association, Dr. Fell, of Buffalo, read a paper on the ‘‘lnfluence of Ozone on Bacteria,” as drawn from hi experience in its use, in cases of diphtheria and scarlet and typhoid fever. While not pronouncing definitely in its favor for general use, he had found it efficacious in many instances. A discussion followed on the use of carbolic acid and other disinfectants for the destruction of bacteria, in which some speakers held that no disinfectant would dis infect; that bacteria would main tain life under all conditions of human life, and that they could not be killed by any agency which would not sometime destroy the patient’s life. tn the afternoon Prof. Rogers, of Harvard University, read a critical study of the action of the diamond in ruling glass. This was followed by an exposition of work by experts in coloring, mounting and preDaring microscopical specimens. At the night ses sion. Professor Walmsley, of Philadelphia, exhibited and explained the methods of pho tographing microscopical objects, and Profes sor K. Elliott read a paper on “Parisitic In fusoria in Crayfish.” This was followed by a visit to Dearborn observatory. Decided in Favor of the Western Union. Philadelphia, Aug. B.— The five civil suits brought by Chauncy H. Tuller, general agent in this city u i the Chicago Meat Com pany, against the Western Union Telegraph Company, have been decided by Magistrate List in favor of the company. The magistrate held that the act of the As sembly under which the plaintiff proceeded did not apply to the case; that there was no contract, as Tuller, in failing to leave either Ins dispatches or the money for their trans mission with the company’s employes, failed to comply with his part of the contract, and that, therefore, the law binding upon the company in respect to the delivery of mes sages could not "apply to the case. The mag istrate further held that the law was intended to avoid any possibility of discrimination on the part of the company in favor of one sender over another, and that it was doubtful whether the general application of this re striction which they put upon sending dis patches, ‘‘Subject to delay,” violated the pro visions of that law. Toiler's counsel gave notice that the case would be appealed. Seizure for Violation of Neutrality Laws. Richmond, Aug. B.—Captain T. H. Dodd, of the schooner E. G. Covin, which arrived on Saturday from New York, was arrested on a charge of attempted violation of the neu trality laws. The vessel was also seized. The grounds for the charge are that the ves sel has on board, not to be unloaded here, 150 carbines, pistols and cartridge-box ammunition in large quantities, and two cannons. The information which led to the arrest of the Captain and seizure of the ves sel was given by one of the crew, who states that when the schooner was off Hog Island she lay to and signaled for two days for some other vessel, which failed to put in an appearance. The Captain then brought the vessel to Richmond. The case will be in vestigated by the United States Commissioner to-morrow, to which time Captain Dodd was bailed. A Dpl of an Inli 11 in an Mother, Austin, Tex., Aug, B.—A negro woman living six miles from this city committed a horrible murder on Monday. She became enraged at her eight-vear old daughter and picked her up and dashed her against a large tree. She repeated this several times, and then took the almost lifeless form into the house and, throwing it upon the floor, stamped it with her feet. She threatened to kill the other children if they informed on her, and sent word to one of the neighbors that the child had died of a spider bite. A doctor in the vicinity heard of it, and on going to the house discovered the body of the child horribly bruised. He made in quiries and ascertained the above facts, and had the brutal mother arrested. The Photograph**!-*’ Association. Milwaukee, Aug. B.—The second day’s session of the photographers’ national con vention was devoted to a discussion of the feasibility of fixing regular rates for pictures per dozen, bnt no action w’as taken. The committee on nominations reported the names of J. H. Kent, of Rochester, N. Y., for president; W. A. Armstrong, of Mil waukee. for secretary; A. V. Hardie. of Bos ton, for treasurer; J. Douglass, of Chicago, and James Landy, of Cincinnati, for execu tive corn mi Ue. The election occurs to-mor row. THE TRANSGRESSOR’S WAY. Buck Stout Hanged at Rockville for Killing Taylor Dunbar. A Remarkable Exhibition of Nerre on tho Scaffold —His Address to the At tending Crowd. His Last Remark—“ The Noose Fits Just Dike a Charm.” The Story of the Tragedy and the Subse quent Trial aud Execution of the Homicide. A MURDER EXPIATED. Stout Goes to His Death Calmly and With out Display of Bravado. From a Staff Correspondent of the Journal. Rockville, Aug. B.—Rockville to-day furnishes an evidence of the fact that the way of the transgressor is hard, in the hang ing of Joseph W. Stout, for the premeditated murder of Taylor Dunbar, committed in November last near Darlington, Montgomery county. The sentence was executed shortly after 1 o’clock at the jail-yard, and was witnessed by about 200 people. All day yesterday and this morning the town has been tilling up with strangers and farmers from the surrounding country attracted by the knowledge that the hanging was to take place, and by noon the streets were filled to overflowing, while the crowds about the jail were crushing. Street fakers and patent medicine venders displayed their wares at every corner, and a stranger ignorant of the cause of the presence of such a crowd would have naturally inferred from the demeanor of the people that a fair or some kindred event was in progress. All the preparations for the hanging were completed yesterday, even to the minor de tails, and naught remained for to-day save the execution proper. stoi t’s laht hours. For several days Stout’s deportment has been more quiet and thoughtful than here tofore, although he never showed the faintest signs of weakening, even when placed upon the scaffold. Yesterday he received several visitors, with all of whom he conversed free ly and without reserve, most of his time be ing spent with his friend Edward Bly, for whom he sent a few days ago. Last night he ate a hearty supper, after which he talked with newspaper correspondents and otherfi. and read the newspapers until about 10 o’clock, when he yawned, complacently said he was sleepy, and retired, falling almost im mediately into a peaceful slumber, from vriiioh La Hid nt awake until 6 o’clock this morning. His breakfast was brought him and was eaten with evident relish, after which Rev. S. K. Fuson, his spiritual adviser; John R, Courtney, his attorney; Edward Bly, and Joel Stout, his relative, were admit ted to his cell, and spent half an hour or more with him. With Mr. Courtney, Stout arranged his remarks to be made on the scaffold, and expressed a desire to have things “done up in good shape,” and to the others he demeaned himself as usual. About 10 o’clock everyone but the minister was excluded from the cell, and an hour was spent in devotional exercises, the condemned man appearing to be perfectly penitent and contented. He expressed himself as ready to die, and said he hoped to be forgiven. A few minutes before noon Stout dressed himself in asuit of neat fitting black clothes, selected by himseif a few days ago, and called for his dinner, eating quite leisurely and, apparently, at least, with a good appetite. At the conclusion of this, his last repast, Mrs. Musser, wife of the sheriff, bade him farewell, pinning a jaunty little button-hole bouquet on the left lapel of his coat, as she did so. Stout thanked her for her kindness and announced himself as ready for the ordeal. The gates to the jail-yard were thrown open and the crowd of about 150 privileged individuals were permitted to enter, the McCune Cadets, under command of Captain Clinton Murphy, repelling the throng of outsiders who pressed upon the inclosure. mrs. dunbar’s nerve. About this time, a lady of middle age, dressed in mourning, pushed through the crowd, attended by an old man. ‘The widow of the murdered man!” was whispered through the assemblage, and all eyes were turned upon her at once. “Surely, you are not going to witness the hanging?” exclaimed someone near the en trance, as the lady passed. “Certainly, I am,” w 9 the calm response. “I can see it without flinching. Any man who could deliberately murder o good a hus band and father as Taylor Dunbar was to me and his Five children deserves no sympathy, and has none of mine. I could fasten the rope around his neck myself,” and the little woman set her teeth and Fixed her gaze upon the gallows. At ten minutes before 1 o’clock the proces sion started from the jail, passing through the jail-yard to the inclosure, in full view of the crowd outside the picket-fence. Sheriff’ J. R. Musser led, followed by Rev. S. K. Fuson and the condemned, supported by Attorney Courtney, who Stout insisted should attend him at the supreme moment, and William Houghkirk, a deputy sheriff; Attorney Pruitt and Joel Stout, Ed ward Bly and Bowman Lay, in the order named. ON THE SCAFFOLD Stout appeared perfectly unconcerned, but assumed no air of bravado, and took his seat while Sheriff Musser read the death warrant, a process consuming ten minutes’ time. Rev. Fuson then stepped forward and offered a brief and appropriate praye: fur the salvation PRICE El YE CENTS. of the soul about to be hurled into eternity during which Stout stood with uncovered head and paying close attention. “Have you anything to say why the sense ence of the law should not he imposed upon you?” asked the sheriff. “Yes, sir. have a few remarks,” answered Stout, promptly, as he stepped forward to thfl front of the platform and surveyed the up turned faces. “I have told my story; it was not believed” hesitating—“l guess I’ll read it though,” and with a smile on his face he produced a piece of paper from his coat-tail pocket, and slowly read the following statement, clearlj and distinctly, with a tremor in his voice: stout’s last speech. “Gentlemen—l have told my story; it was not believed. I suffer greater punishment than I deserve. I am sorry for what I hav done. My fe friends and my lawyers have done all that conld be done for me. The prosecution against me has been awful. 1 forgive everybody, and I hope to be forgiven. I am ready to fulfill the demands of the law, and may the Lord have in ere yon my soul.” At the conclusion of his paper he handed the manuscript to Mr. Courtney, adjusted his black feit hat on one side of his head, and standing squarly in the middle of the trap, facing the crowd, placed his hands behind him in order to facilitate the task of binding them, which service was performed by ex- Deputy Sheriff William Spinning, of Foun tain county. After being bound, liis hat was removed and the noose placed about his neck. Stout moving his head slightly in or der that the knot might be properly ad justed. “Does that hurt you, Buck?” asked Mr. Spinning, as he drew the noose taught. “No, sir.” said Stout, moving his bead slightly and smiling pleasantly; “it fits like a charm!” These were his last words. The cap was quickly fastened over his head and the trap sprung. The fall was about seven feet, and although the neck was not broken, the doomed man did not move a muscle after the fall. The physicians immediately began noting the pulse and respiration with the fol lowing result: Drop fell at 1:10. At the end of the first minute the pulse registered 70; second, 68; third, 60; fourth, 66; fifth, 56, sixth, 56; seventh, 44; eighth, 42; ninth, 38; tenth, 32; eleventh, 0; twelfth, dead. The body was allowed to hang twenty minutes after the heart had ceased to and was cut down at 1:42. Joel Stout, cousin of the dead man’s father, immediately claimed the bodv and was given possession of it. It was embalmed on the spot by Undertaker Snyder, of Oraw fordsville, placed in a plain casket and al lowed to remain at the jail until shortly be fore the departure of the train for Craw fords ville. where it was removed this evening. The remains will be buried at Wesley Chanel, five miles from Crawfordsvitle, where all of the deceased members of the family are in terred, the dead man having expressed a preference to he placed there. The following acted as pall-bearers, and accompanied the body: Henry Hughes, Smith Swank. R. B. Snyder, Jerry Snyder, Edward Bly and Churles Ticknor. stoitt’s like in prison. As soon as the body was cut down, the an nouncement was made to the crowd outsiae that Stout was dead, and they quietly dis persed. The hanging has been the one topic of conversation in this county, and that por tion of Montgomery county adjacent to the scene of the homicide, for several weeks, and every incident surrounding Stout’s imprison ment has been eagerly discussed and repeat ed until worn threadbare by constant repeti tion. On Friday last the parents of the mur derer called and bade him a final adieu, the parting being quite affecting, although Stout himself bore up with his usual firmness and apparent unconcern. During his incarceration a pigeon Hew in through the bars one stormy day and was appropriated by Stout, who made a great pet of it. On parting with his mother he gave her the bird, asking her to treat it kindly and remember who had given it to her. The only time Stout gave evidence of the slightest feeling concerning ills situa tion was when asked if any of his family would be present at his execution; he replied that his mother conld not stand it, and his father was too badly disabled by rheumatism to endure the fatigue of the journey from Darlington and return. WIIAT LED TO THE MURDER. It is altogether probable, in fact almost certain, that the real cause impelling Stout to murder Dunbar was his infatuution for some lewd women in Indianapolis, al though it must not be supposed from this that the murdered man was of Stout’s ilk at all. A month before the tragedy Stout had been working on the railroad and had sl6 due him, which he was impatient to re ceive; accordingly he sold the claim to Dr. Griffith, of Darlington, and with the pro ceeds went to Indianapolis, In the city his associations were vile, but to his liking, and he became enamored of a woman of the town, whose identity he dis closed to Mr. Courtney a few minutes before his death, and to whom he was to have been married one week after the murder. After the money obtained from l>r. Griffith was gone, he returned to his home, where he learned that the railroad company would not pay the money over to the Doctor on the strength of the order from him. lie there fore collected the money himself, and, in stead of reimbursing Dr. Griffith, again repaired to the city and spent this money through the* same channels as the first. Again becoming penniless, he was forced to return, but unable to stay long from his inamorata’s presence, he started to return for the third time. While traveling with Dunbar, the idea doubtless occurred to him that his companion had money about his person, and he determined upon his mur der, for the premeditated purpose of robbery. To this, however, he never confessed, al though his attorneys themselves are of opin ion that 4,> is is possibly the correct theorj f of the murder. NOTES OF THE HANGING.

All three of the Rockville papers got ont special additions this afternoon and treated the execution in a highly creditable man ner. The papers were on the streets in less than an hour from the time the drop fell. Among the sheriffs who were in attend ance getting pointers, so to apeak, were Hess, of Marion, accompanied by Deputy Gluztin; Brennan, of Putnam: Deputy Spinning, of Fountain; Myers, of Vermillion: Mahan, of Vigo; Deputy Davis, of Montgomery, and Kirkham, of Fayette. The Journal correspondent, who witnessed the execution of Guetig, and several Indian apolis gentlemen who were present at that eveut were forcibly struck with the remark able resemblance between Stout and the above mentioned young man. In ago. build, expression of countenance and conduct, the two were almost exact counterparts. Even 1o rile minutest details of the execution, that of to-day was a reproduction of that of Louis Guetig. The newspaper representatives present at the execution were: P. V. Collins, Cincin nati Commercial Gazette: Hilton IT. Brown, Indianapolis News; T. H. B. McCain. Craw fordsville Journal; Will ITishbuck and A A. Hargrave, Terre Haute.

In conversation with Buck, yesterday morning, Mr. Courtney said. “Buck, no matter what your feelings may be or what you are suffering, remember when you drop, that no amount of struggling will help you. and for God’s sake keep still.” Buck smiled in his custoruiry manner and replied with a determined shake of the head: “You ber your life I'll not. Just watch me. and I’lL show you how a man can die when he has to.” As Stout stepped on the trap to have the noose adjusted to his throat, Courtney whispered in his ear. “Re member, Buck, don’t move!” to which the condemned replied ouly by a negative shake of the head and fixing his lips firmly to gether. h. a v.

No arrangement was made to have the Indians capture the mails. Kentuckians do not Hesitate to descend to the bottom. A Louisville man sued out an attachment on a melodeon. No wonder there is a Democratic majority of 50,000 in that State. Judge Hoadly is said to have secured the support of the Cincinnati News Journal by reason of ownership, while the “influence” of the Enquirer is tendered him gratis. Still the Judge is not happy. Buying rival papers by gubernatorial candidates never has been followed by results altogether hap pifying. Fred. Schuman, a laborer on a new build ing at Akron, 0., fell through an elevator shaft, a distance of seventy-five feet, striking fairly on a brick floor. Instead of being mashed into an unrecognizable mass, he sus tained no serious injury beyond the fracture of the jaw. He would be a good man to run on the Republican ticket in Kentucky. The shock would not kill him. It would seem that the practice of dupli cating pay accounts by army officers could be easily prevented. If each department would designate a single paymaster or sub treasurer to audit and pay those accounts, the opportunity to duplicate would be cut off; but so long as the loose practice prevails of allowing these vouchers to float its negoti able paper, the frauds will continue. That Spanish colonel at Badajoz got about as much glory out of his career as head of the “government,” for one day, as Claib. Jackson did in playing Confederate Governor of Missouri in 1861. He fled from the. State capital, pursued by the Union soldiers, and he and the “government” were captured. The “government” consisted of an old carpet sack containing a bundle of dirty linen and a copy of the ordinance of secession. But there’s nothing like trying to be somebody. Bee what Tilden got out of the office as Presi dent de jure for one term! It can hardly be regarded as reassuring to know that the manufacturer of a well known revolver will shortly occupy a house at North boro. Mass., costing between $200,- 000 and $300,000." There are a thousand per cent, more revolvers sold than there should be. By the way, it is a singular fact, in this connection, that a murder never occurs in which the maker of the revolver Is not lib erally advertised gratis* It is not enough to say that the weapon was a thirty-two or forty-four calibre. The manufacturing firm must be published also. Why doesn’t the counting-room kick? Ir apparently well-authenticated rumors be true, the public is about to have an ac cession of knowledge relative to the true in wardness of the numerous rowing matches in which the champion Hanlan has almost invariably won. There seems to be little doubt that they have been hippodromed from the first, and each race prearranged in the interest of gamblers in the large cities. The former backers of the Canadian, now at outs with him, are begin ning to tell what they know, and if naif they tell be true the mystefy of the boat-cutting by Courtney is easily understood, and Han lan is equally guilty with Courtney. It is about time to let this business severely alone. The Rip Van Winkles of the South are awakening one by one. Solid Georgia is now in the throes of a strong temperance reform. The temperunce people of that State have been working quietly but assiduously until they have about captured the citadel of Democracy. There was no attempt made to commit the State to prohibition, blit a united effort made in favor of local option. On Monday a bili for that purpose, prepared in accordance with the prayer of a petition signed by 00,000 persons, came up in the House. The necessary majority for its pas sage was barely received amidst deafening ap plause from the crowded galleries. It is al most certain that the Senate will also pass the bill, and this means that Georgia will be about as solid a temperance State as any North or South. The temperance fanatics are evidently marching through Georgia to some purpose. The Tennessee Legislature resolved last winter to investigate and regulate the doings of its railroads, and to that end appointed commissioners, thriftily providing at the same time that these gentlemen should be fur nished with free passes. After the appoint ment the commissioners demanded passes, which were -e fused by the managers of the roads on the grounds that the Legislature had no right to dictate in regard to the issu ing of passes. The roads would furnish them witii naases as a matter of courtesy, but Otherwise. This offer was loftily de dined, and time passed on, with no examina tion of roads meanwhile, until the commis sioners felt the need of summer recreation. They wanted to get about the State,- and why pay fare when they could go free? A few days ago the commissioners visited the railroad officials in person and agreed to take passes in any way they could get them, w hether by right or by courtesy. The strict and impartial manner in which the affairs of these roads will be looked into can readily be imagined, but the managers are loaiug no sleep over the prospect. AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. The address by Governor Hamilton, of Illi nois, before the Acton Assembly on “The Nationality of American Citizenship,” was full of truth concisely and logically stated. There fs undoubtedly too much trans-Atlan tic influence in our politics. There is no sufficient reason why our German, Irish or English fellow’-citizens should claim special recognition as such in distinction from the great mass of the people who have found homes in America. It is clannish, un-Amer ican, and far from pure democracy. In times more remote every citizen of the United States was himself, or through his ancestry, the subject of some foreign power. We rep resent every civilized nation under the heavens, from the autocracy of Russia to the democracy of Switzerland. Out of all this heterogeneous mass of humanity the force of self-preservation has crystallized the Ameri can republic. The mosaic of English, Dutch, French and Spanish colonies lias been over laid by a solid foundation of a government by all the people of America as freed from foreign dominion. The revolution was fought by an army fused from all the various elements that had drifted to these shores. The New’ England Puritan fought shoulder to shoulder with the Maryland Catholic, and the great work of all these social and relig ious elements combined was to found what is now the American republic. How well they succeeded is no longer a question. For a hundred years it has lived and pros pered, until now it is a full-grown, broad shouldered giant, the peer of any empire in p the world. No man need be ashamed of his position as an American citizen. In point of wealth, population and advancement in every branch of science, literature and art it is second to none. But while the progress of the past has been such as to evoke the ad miration of all, its future is still more glo rious. Its scope of territory is such that the people’s empire of the Western w orld is des tined to be the most populous, the strongest in wealth and resources and the grandest the world ever knew. A century from now the United States will acknowledge no rivals. The British empire, pinned together with bayonets, will rank below us. United Ger many’ will not be able to compare with us, and the great republic of France will be ut terly out of tiie question. It is no wild spec ulation to say that the day’ will come when this government will number a thousand million citizens. We have the territory to support that number, and one State— Massachusetts—already has her share in pro portion to area. A thousand million peo ple! There can be no grander political am bition than to be a citizen of such a republic. The day is already here when we should for get our old allegiance in our pride for Amer ica. We are the only people in the world who have but one soldier to each two thou sand inhabitants, to say nothing of i heir need against thousands of hostile Indians scatter ed over hundreds of thousands of square miles of Western Territories. It Is a glorious privilege to be an American citizen. Those of us who come hither from England, from Ireland, from Germany, or France, should be quick to identify ourselves with the in stitutions of the country, and In politics as in everything else, demand nothing but our rights as citizens without regard to the coun tries we may have abandoned to swear alle giance to this. To attempt toadd glory 7 to such citizenship by claiming to have formerly been a subject of Queen Victoria or Emperor Will iam is much like a general of the army boast ing of having once been a member of Com pany H, 136th Rhode Island Volunteers. All these past distinctions must be abandoned. If America is to be great, it must be through the united efforts of the people. If their in terests are to he subserved, all must unite as Americans to preserve American rights. An American citizen is none the more honorable from having been born on the Rhine, the Thames or the Lissy. His wortli to his Amer ican fellow-citizens will depend wholly upon how well he discharges his duties and obliga tions as a citizen of this republic. To meet these on the same level with others is all that any man ought to ask, no matter whether he he born beneath the double eagles, the lion and unicorn, or the stars and stripes. Let every question be decided on its merits, and each citizen stand on his personal worth. This is the American idea, pure and simple, and anything more cometh of evil. If the reports of wire-cutting be true, it puts a very bad front on the strike, and casts a reflection upon all the strikers, innocent and guilty alike. It shows that they regard the situation as desperate, and as a last move toward securing their demands they have re sorted to force. Os course, it is by no means certain that the reported interference with the lines is true. It may 1 simply be a ruse of the companies to gain the sympathy of the public, and to bring the strikers under condemnation. The latter are, or ought to be, wise enough to know that force will never 'win. Just as soon as they begin to interfere with the property 7 and rights of the companies will they lose prestige and forfeit that sympathy they have thus far en joyed. The temptation, however, is well THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, AUGUST f\ ISS3. nigh irresistible when the feeling of defeat is forced upon any organization that has gone upon astiike to compel concessions. It may be safely claimed that the great body 7 of American operators are men of principle, and that they wili never be guilty of trans gressing the laws of the land. Up to this time their conduct has been of such moder ation and good sense that they have won the respect and confidence of the people. But it is not impossible that a few in considerate strikers might commit breaches of the peace that would seriously 7 compromise all who are now engaged in the strike. This would be inevitable in case wires are actually tam pered with, or the property of the telegraph companies is in any way molested. The people have been very patient under the in convenience suffered from impaired tele graphic service. They have tacitly agreed to let the contestants light the issue out on its merits. Naturally the greater sympathy goes with the men, as opposed to the cor- porations of such vast wealth that they are able to protect themselves. Law and order must be maintained first of all, and abuses must be reformed in a legal and regular manner. Let the issue be decided wholly on its merits. The public has submitted to considerable inconvenience aud loss in order to give the case a fair hear ing, as it w r ere. If it be found that the com panies cannot properly discharge the business of the country, some measures will undoubt edly he tuken to compel them to do so. Meanwhile it would be the height of folly to interfere with wires, or to attempt to accom> plish by force that which circumstances have pronounced against. One of the most noted weddings of this season was the marriage, barely six weeks ago, of the actor, Frank Bangs, and a daughter of the late Siuger, of sewing machine fame. It will better he recalled by the tragic parting of Bangs from bis net poodle, it evidently being a struggle in his breast to choose between pup and a partner of his joys. At last he gave up the former and em braced the latter. They were sweetly matrifed, and lived happily ever after for just one month and a half. It now appears that be acted very foolishly when he went back on the noble pup, for now his bride has got tired of wedded bliss and will sue for a divorce, besides demanding the return of some $7,009 that she udvaueed to him. Bangs wildly swears that she’ll never get the money, probably for the very good reason that he has no such sum about his per son. He a>so says she shall not have a divorce. He started into the business a little late in fife, and is not disposed to surrender his happiness ou the first half of the second inning. He alleges that had he known ten minutes before the mar riage what he discovered half ail hour after he would never have married her at all. 81ie pro bably ate pie with a knife at the wedding break fast. At least Ms. Bangs declares his discovery “too revolting for human utterance.” Mrs. Bamrs has the advantage of him in that she has already scored one marriage, besides striking out on a divorce. To be a dead colored Infant in Philadelphia la to be in bard luck. Whether to be a live colored infant iu that city is synonymous with beiug in bliss may be questioned, but to die there is hard. So strongly is the color line drawn that *ven deceased white people will not associate with a corpse of African descent. The body of a little black waif whioh died iu the “Sheltering Arms” in the City of Brotherly Love on Juue2d, is still floating around without a place to lay its head. Its unexpected appearance In the wagon of a vegetable dealer, a day or two ago, led to an in quiry which brought out Its history. The Shel tering Arms bed turned the body over to an un dertaker w’ho had contracted to dispose of all “remains” from that institution. Hh took it to two cemeteries where burial was refused on ac count of the color. He then went back to his stable, intending at some convenient time to try other cemetries for admission, and putting the box on one side forgot about it. Au assistant found it one day and by way 7 of a joke put it iu the vegetable man’s cart. At last accounts the coroner was hovering over the unlucky itttle skeleton. Perhaps he can arrange for a burial place in some loss exclusive and aristocratic grave-yard. Hon. and Rev. Nathaniel Horne, of Penn sylvania, has found it difficult to serve God aud his native State acceptably at one aud the same time. Confiding Methodists voted for Brother Ilorne with the expectation and understanding that when he came to represent them in the Leg islature be would advocate prohibition. Hon. Mr. Horne’s omission to do this when actually elected led to much discussion among his constituents, naturally followed by some disclosures. Facts catne to light showing that, so far from being a total abstainer in principle or practice, he had during the campaign bought intoxicating liquors and distributed them where they would do the most good, not ref running from an occasional nip hiuiself. Such conduct could not be overlooked, and the church has promptly expelled Rev. Mr. Home. He is still at Harrisburg, drawing slo a day, aud is, therefore, not without consolation, hut feels that the way’ of a pious legislator is hard. Tiie official board of Roberts Park Church did a commendable thing when they decided to have their regular church services, during the heated term, when so many of the city ohurotiss are closed. Every one can’t go to the watering places aud summer resorts, aud it is well to have one place wiit-re those who stay at home can have the privilege of public worship. They' have also beeu very fortunate, so far, in secur ing first-class talent to fill the pulpit duriug the absence of their pastor. Next Sunday evening Rev. J. H. Bayless, D. D. t will preach. No min ister ever left Indianapolis with a greater num ber of warm aud devoted friends than Dr. Rayless, and the mere announcement that he will preach, will, uo doubt, secure a large attend auce. MonsbignkurCaprlacknowledged to a report er that he was embarrassed on catering the pul pit on Bunday in New York. His introduction to the congregation as a “distinguished Catholic priest” was what took him off his feet, introduc tions under such circumstances beiug unheard of in England. This admission will go far to con firm what has long been suspected by observant members of public audiences, namely, that, though long experience may enable a speaker to appear cool and collected under the ordeal of a fulsome introduction, he must secretly feel idiotic or be possessed of a desire to gurroto the stage manager then and there. A murdkkEß is to bo hanged in Placervllle, Cal.,on Friday, and a public spirited citizen of the town wants the race track to be used on the oc casion, spectators to be admitfod at fifty cents a head. The citizen thinks enougli could be real ized In this manner to defray all expenses of the trial and hanging, aud the county thus be saved the outlav of so much money on an unworthy' representative. The suggestion was favorably received by the community, but it has been de- cided by the officials in charge to make the af- fair very select and exclusive, the few favored; guests to be admitted on dead-head tickets, as is the custom in the East. Sherman W. Platt, the Connecticut man who went into a long sleep last December, from which he did not arouse until May, when he was sufficiently conscious to submit to being led to a chair each day, though he did not speak, has aguiu been heard from. A few nights ago he escaped from his attendants and walked to Bridgeport, a distance of twenty-three miles from his home. lie was in a somnambulistic state, however, and was apparently 7 wholly un conscious of nis actions. Various expedients were tried to make him speak, but they all failed. His friends took him home to resume his nap. The finding of a Russia leather satchel and some letters in the deserted hut of an old rag picker at Washington, lias led to the belief that the occupant was a Russian nobleman in dis guise. Washington people, wfio never fail to recognize aristocrats when they see them, re member how distinguished the old man ap peared, aud regret that begot away before they could call on him. The proprietor of a Washington dairy has shipped 200 gallons of Alderney milk to San Francisco on the special train bearing tbe Kulghts Templars to that city. IMie succeeds in delivering it there, sweet and pure, lie will re ceive $1 per gallon, besides winning a bet on the result. The object of the enterprising dairyman seems to be to widen his business to national proportions. Skrastian Appel, of Philadelphia, has just died, after eating a pie made by hie daughter. Yet there are papers who are audacious enough to attempt a defense of Appel pie! The Minneapolis Trlouue has heard of the bat tle of the brutes, and is moved to remark: “Sul livan slugged Slade the Maori most beautifully. O tempore, O Maoris.” ABOUT PEOPLE. A San Francisco minister such a young man for his marriage fee, $5, and got it. Senator Edmunds says he likes to talk to re porters, because ho learns a great deal from them. A young fellow loudly annouuced in a South ern hotel diuulng-room that he intended “to shoot the Colonel on sight.” Before night every male boarder had left, some in such a hurry as not to pay their bills. Colonel Inokrsoll was worsted at a game of parry and thrust with a guest the other day. He called out as the visitors were departing: “May the Lord take a liking to you!” “Whose Lord,” asked the other; “your Lord or our Lord!” Prof. Sbakraro, of the University of Parma, was lutely sentenced to a mouth’s imprisonment for clubbing his colleague, Prof. Miroovirch; to seven days’ confinement for insulting and strik ing an editor; to two months' imprisonment for insulting the reotor of the university, and to pay a fine of 20J francs. Queen Victoria is very angry with the Duke of Tock on account of the scandal which lie has brought upou tho royal family by having his household effects sold out by the sheriff. For his general bad management of affairs. Trek is to be permanently exiled to Rutnpeuheim, an almost desolate and unpleasant German schlrss. His Eo.inence Prince Schwarzenberg, Arch bishop of Praga, will celebrate the fiftieth anni versary of his priestly ordinatiou on the 15th of this month. He is seventy-two years old, was created Cardinal by Gregory XVI Jan. 24, 1842, and is the only survivor of the cardinals created by that Pope. If he resided in Rome he would bo Dean of the Sacred College. Secretary Lincoln said to a Chicago reporter: “See here, do you know Chicago is getting up a reputation as the headquarters of the‘interview ing nuisance,’ as they call it! Why, people who have passed through here on their way to Wash ington have told me that the thiug was becom ing perfectly awful. I can’t understand it. Why, I am never interviewed iu Washington or New York.” Mrs. Kate Chase’s fine estate near Washing ton, called Edgewoud, is teuantless, while its owner roams in Europe. Bhe left a little over a month ago, with her children, for a five years’ tour abroad. The grounds are kept in tolerable order by the servant in whose charge they were put by her, but the great house with its rich fur nishings stands precisely as she left it, and the acres around it lie uncultivated. Bishop Ireland, of the Catholic diocese of St. Pau), Minn., recently said: “The need of the hour is a grand tidal wave of total abstinence sweeping over the land. The strongest protest possible must be made against intemperance. Total obstinence is the protest. Will it be made with sufficient force to save the people? This is the vital question for the future of America aud, I might add, for the future of religion.” Professor Philip Sciiaff says that the Old Testament is still in the hands of the American revisers, who are preparing tho American appen dix; that is, selecting from all the readings and renderings which the British revisers have re jected those which they deem worth laying be fore the publto for final decision. The revised Old Testament will probably be published before next spring. Then the convocation of Canter bury. wbicli originated the movement, will sub ject it to olHcia! judgment. “I am enthusiastic about it, and Intend to do all I can iu this country to further our ends, for it was here that the poet received his first ex tended recognition and made his name most widely known.” So says Lord Headley, an Irish peer, who has arrived in this country to visit the Yellowstone Park and raise a testimonial for Martin Farquhar Tupper, the almost forgottea poet of mediocrity. The committee to raise something forTnppcr includes Lords Selborne, Shaftsbury, Deri and Houghton Mrs. Sargent, wife of the American minister at Berlin, in a letter describing a call upon tiie Empress, said; “Her Majesty surprised me by asking about my daughter Lizzie. She had heard that Lizzie began the study of medicine In Cali fornia, aud was now continuing it in Zurich. ‘We are much Interested in medteines,’ the Em press added, and then spoke of the civil war lu America aud the Frauoo-Prussian war, saying that the Germaus had gatued much vuluable In formation from the Americans as to the treat ment of the sick and wounded soldiers, which was put to good use iu their last war.” A curious story 7 comes from Cleveland in re gard to the anonymous novel, “The Bread-Win uers,” begun iu tho August Century. The MS. of the story is said to have been fouud in the desk of the late Leonard Case, of that city, the bach elor millionaire and munificent founder of the Case School of Applied Soience. He was a man of amiable character, of tine culture aud of re markable natural abilities, but his lifo was so clouded by constant ill-health, and by a singular constitutional shyness, that bis talents were un known even to his own townspeople, and hardly appreciated by his few intimate friends. He wtote poems, sketches and talcs for his owu amuAeiueciul agency detectives had no legal right to open them for examination when the goods arrived at New York in transit. Thus the goods have been reaching New 7 Mexico all right, and it is supposed that the government has been cheated out of many thousands of dollars in revenue. Yesterday a package of lace, ad dressed “William F. Lacey, Santa Fe. N. M.,” was “accidentally” dropped upon the floor and broke open in the postoffice. When Postmaster Pearson became aware of the na ture of the contents, he sent word to the chief special agent at the custom-house, and the goods were taken into the seizure-room. The lace, which is of a tine pattern, is valued at SSOO. A Texas Ex-Confederate Reunion. McKinley. Tex.. Aug. B.—' The second and last day of the Confederate reunion was even greater than the first. The attendance was greatly increased, numbering about 50,000. The speech of General Lewis yesterday is generally condemned by 7 the notables pres ent; still it took with the crowd. Lewis was cheered to the echo while speaking, and the supposition is that the enthusiasm carried him beyond the bounds of discretion. The only tiling out of the ordinary routine to day was the speech of General Cable, who declared that England and America can never have more than an unnatural friend ship. He hoped to live long enough to lead ex*Confederates under the stars and stripes in a contest against England. JEFF. DAVIS IN A RAGE. A Bitter Letter from the Great Ex* Rebel to Judge Jere. Black. m Davis Claims that He Has Been Slander ously Misrepresented —His Version of the Causes Leading to the War. Philadelphia Special (7th) to Chicago Tribune. The following letter appeared in the Timei this morning: Various circumstances which would b unnecessary to relate have delayed this no tice of the public utterances of Judge Jere miah S. Black. Under the ad captandum title of “Secession Secrets’’ he opens his un warranted attack upon myself thus: “Mr. Davis now charges him (Mr. Bu chanan) with timidity because he did not evacuate the forts and let secession havo everything its own way. That is ridiculous. Mr. Davis also makes a sinner of his judg ment when he expresses the opinion that if Sumter had been given up no other State than South Carolina would have gone out. In truth and in fact Mr. Davis and all other secessionists desired that evacuation for the sole purpose of making their predetermed de parture easy 7 and safe. Such a conspicuous act of concession would have been an ac knowledgment of their right to secede, aud they would have tumbled out as fast as they could formulate their ordinances. If Mr. Davis will tax his memory a little he will recollect easily enough that lus ob ject in trying to influence Mr. Buchanan in this direction was to remove an obstacle from the path on which he and his constitu ents had made up their mind to travel. South Carolina tried to bully the President. Others, including Mr. Davis, tried to coax him. It is uo evidence of timidity that he resisted them both Judge Black herein assumes to describe my conduct and to assign it to a motive which I pronounce utterly false, inexcus ably false, because if he had desired to know the truth he could have learned it by conference with either of his associates in Mr. Buchanan’s cabinet, with whom I had confidential relations, or with the President, with whom I held about that time frequent and unreserved conversations, believing, as I had reason to do, that he, like myself, desired a peaceful solution of the issues which then threatened our consti tutional union, or he might have found what were my motives by reference to the speeches I had made during the many years I had served in the two houses of Congress, or bv an appeal to any other source purer than his own imagination. It may be well that my 7 opinions were not of sufficient im portance to him to induce a search through the speeches of my many years of service, but while his mind was so actively engaged in the affairs of Charleston and my proposal in regard to it, it might be that he would look at the published report of my remarks in the United States Senate of Jan. 10, 1801. Trie pending motion being to print the special message of the President of January 9, 1861. I said: “Had the garrison at Charleston, represent ing the claim of the government to hold the property in a fort there been called away thirty days, nay, ten days ago, peace would have spread its pinions over this land, and calm negotiation would have been the* order of the day. Why wa§ it not recalled? No reason yet has been offered, save that the government is bound to preserve its proper ty. And 7 et look from North to South, front East to West, wherever we have con structed forte to defend states against a for eign foe, and everywhere you find them without a garrison, except at a few points where troops are kept for special purposes, not to coerce or threaten a state, but sta tioned in sea-coast fortifications, there mere ly for the purpose of discipline and instruc tion, as artillerists. You will find all the other forts in the hands of fort*keepers anti ordnance sergeauts, and before a moral and patriotic people standing safely here as prop erty of the country.” There, in the presence of senators who had the fullest opportunity to know my wishes and opinions, the position was distinctly stated which Judge Black now treats as something new and makes the basis of a slanderous misrepresentation. With like recklessness of assertion he de nies that Mr. Buchanan ever entertained an idea of public property at Fort Sumter other than that of the fort with its contents, and yet in the very beginning of the correspond ence, in the first letter of Governor Pickens to the President, the Governor wrote: “In re lation to the public property of the Uuited States within Fort Sumter, the Hon. I. W. Hoyne, who will hand you this communica tion, is authorized to give you the pledge of the State that the valuation of such property will be accounted for,” etc., etc. I pass by Judge Black’s denunciation of South Carolina as “not a fit party to be trusted with the protection of either real or personal property of the United States.” She needs no defense against the loose and vulgar assertions which characterize this revelation of so-called secession secrets, merely noticing the cunning excuse which is offered for tiie denunciation, i. e., that South Carolina had previously seized "everythin; 7 in and about Charleston except one fort.” It will be re membered that the government o? South Carolina, resting under the assurance that both federal aud State governments would not attempt to make a change so as to dis turb the existing condition of affairs, allowed the unoccupied forts to re main as th'ey were, and forebore tp seize Fort Sumter when it was without a garrison. He remonstrated when the garri son of Fort Moultrie, after having disman tled it, spiked the guns ana burned the car riages, was removed under cover of night to Fort Sumter. Could there have been a more hostile demonstration than this? Was it honest to conceal the fact that therefrom followed the seizure of the unoccupied forts? The order resulting in this change of the status is one of the claims Judge Black makes for service rendered to the Union. So it may deserve to be followed to its consequences and viewed in connection with contempora neous events. It occurred when South Carolina, hopeful of a peaceful solution of all pending issues, had sent three of her most distinguished sons as commissioners to visit and confer with the President. Other proof cannot he needful that South Carolina had no design to attack Fort Moultrie or take other aggres sive action. Mr. Buchanan with the keen perception of a patriot desiring to avoid civil war, saw thi danger which this movement portended and with the sensibility of a man of honoi shrunk from the imputation of bad faith. Therefore he wrote to the commissioners ol South Carolina on the 30th of December, 1860: “When I learned that Maj. Anderson had left Fort Moultrie and proceeded to Fort Sumter, my first promptings were to command him to return to his former po sition and there to await contingencies pre sented in his instructions.” The President then proceeded to notice the rapidly occur ring events which followed tnis act, for which it is now known he was not responsi ble, to enforce the propriety of retaining a fort built to protect the harbor and city of Charleston after it had ceased to be rtn garded there as a means of defense, but was considered a menace only maintained to de stroy.

And Provision Markets. Indianapolis, Aug. 8. Matters In the general merchandise markets •re moving along roach In tb same rut of some days past. Trade, while not to say active by any means, is fair and increasing somewhat, and the outlook as regards the immediate future 1" very encouraging. The failures in the East have not, seemingly, affected business at western ttuniuercial centers. An eastern exchange, In speaking of the failures which are aliuded to above, says: “It would seem remarkable at first sight that Dolores aggregating liabilities of six or seven million dollars in one of the most important branches of trade could be announced iu Boston within one week without causing any wide disturbance of business. This is half the amount for which the Spragues, of Rhode Island, failed ten years ago, aud everybody knows the disaster aud litigation —by uo means yet ended— which resulted from that event. Yet at the points where financial disasters concentrate—t lie banks—there have been uo external evidences of trouble. It is true that the Boston tustitatious have of late been quietly Yaking precautions against a pinch, but it the statements of leadiug bankers there are to be believed none of the banks will be seriouslv embarrassed. The liabilities of these firms are not so great as would appear from au addition of the sums reported toy each of them since they were large indorsers on one another’s paper. And the shock falls upon an exceptionally strong banking system, at a time when there is uo oue great economic foroe adversely affectiug tho country at large, and is a result of the folly of a small number of persons. The firms who furnish the Shaws with “accommodation'* paper will hereafter probably have a lively sense of the principle, “it is a good pay muster who pays ‘when the work is done.’ Nevertheless, it is discouraging to trade, which has for months been trying to get on lts feet, to be tripped up in this way every little while. Iron, wool, dry goods and other commodities had passed through the experience, and the situ ation of the leather trade was known to be pre carious. Doubtless other interests tire in danger, and the protest lug of a uoto some day may knock the legs from under a crowd of itieti who are leaning against one auolher. lu the local miscellaneous markets the positiou is unchanged; the movement is fair, and prices on the whole steady. GRAIN. The local wheat market is m a strong posi tion and dealears show more disposition to trade. The Board of Trade Price Current says of wheat: We notes decided improvement in both tone and price in local markets.

Receipts large, but gradiug only fairly, dirt and shriveled graing being the tronble. Farmers must under stand that the inspector’s tryer generally dis closes the true condition of the car, aud that if they desire to obtain full prices they must ship stock that will grade.

Now manage ments art* turning their attention to moving trains more economically. This has led to tho bututing of heavier locomotives, 80,000 pounds new being considered a fair-sized locomotive, 38,000 pounds ten years ago being the standard weight for freight engines. Tho capacity 4f cars has as well been propoitlon oteiy increased—l3,ooo pounds ten years •go was the currying capacity of boxcars; now 40,000 pounds is the standard, and eome roads are building cars of 50,000 pounds capacity. The weight of a passenger car has been increased from 25,000 to 45,000 pounds, and the parlor cars now used weigh 75,000 poands. With this there is a proportionate strengthening of bridges, the laying of a heavier rail, and increasing the number of cross-tics per mile. The. last two yejirs all new rads laid on the Pennsylvania system, west of Pittsburg, or on the Vandalia, have weighed sixty-four pounds to the yard; tha Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Ennis Chicago already have forty miles of road laid with a rail weighing sixty-seven pounds to the yard, and this month arc putting in sev enteen miles more.

A $6,000 TICKET SALE. The Advantages That Secure Business—A Competition for Honor aud Money. Probably there never was a time in the history of railroad business when the advantages of the fiiff-rent railroad lines leading west from Indi anapolis were so thoroughly canvassed as iu the competition for the honor and money to be had by carrying Raper Comuiandery, Knights Tem plars, to San Francisco and return. Advantages and inducements were presented by each line leading westward. The Kankakee A Seneca was set forth with the following reasons. It ia the shortest and best equipped road, runs through the most lnt'-reeting and picturesque country, and is the only line offering a route through lowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Nevada going, and through Colorado, Kansas aud Missouri, return ing. This decision settles the fact that the Kan kakee A Seneca route is the favorite route for lowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, California and Oregon. Passenger representatives painted the advant ages of their roads in their most glowing colors, some even going so far as to offer the Hr Knights a money value as an offset to the disadvantages of their lines. Tbs merits of each line were fully and carefully considered by the committee on transportation, aud the verdict was a $6,000 ticket sale by the Kankakee A Seneca route, represented by Mr. J. H. Martin, General Agent, No. I*o Boutu Illinois street. The Acton Camp-Meeting. The camp-meeting proper began at Acton yes terday and the attendance during the day was good.

The game of base ball yesterday bet ween the Union Pacific club, of Omaha. Neb., and the In diauapols club, resulted iu favor of the latter, by a score of 14 to 4. It would perhaps have been a much ovther and more interesting con test had the visitors not been extremely unfor tunate in the way of accidents. On account of their reputation and tine playing since they started east, the opinion was prevalent that they would win yesterday’s game and there was Considerable betting on the result, their sup porters giving odds. It was a pretty game up to the lust half of tbe third inning, each side having scored one run. When the home club came in, Dorgau made a single and scored on Callahan’s line hit tc left. In rurning home, with the ball after him. he came in collision with Bundle, the Oma ha’s catcher, and the latter was knocked sense less, and for a time it was thought he was dan gerously hurt, but he soon recovered sufficiently to leave the field, but could not play any more. Rockwell, the change pitcher, w r eut into the box, Salsbury to first, Baker to right, aud Briggs, who had not caught a game this season, behind the bat. The change was disastrous. Baker was so lame that could do nothing with balls in the field unless they came directly to him, and, with that f. tality which attends ctioli things, nearly every ball that went out of the diamond came directly in his field, although he was changed three times. With Rockwell in the box, Peltz, Kerins and K*enan, the first three batters, each made a three-base hit and then Salsbury came back to pitch. But the gamo was lost, as he could not use much speed, with an unexperienced catcher and the homo club did some of the tallest 'batting ever seen Id these Darts, O Deary and Kerins each making a home ruu. Under the circumstances, it was uot puprising that the visitors played no better. McKelvey made two tine catches, and Baker, although disfigured, was still very much iu the ring, for lie made the most marvellous left-hand catch of Keenan’s long hit ever seen on the Indianapolis grounds, the catch creating much enthusiasm. The home olub played a good fielding game, and Parry Wright’s umpiring was good. McKeon in the second tnuing put out a base runner by a clever ruse,(pitching a wild ball from ourside the box, after a foul) and the vis tors packed up tnelr bats and threatened to quit unless the decision was reversed, but wisely reconsidered and went on with the game. Fol lowing is the score: Omaha. a.b. r. b.h. t.b. p.o. a. k.

Keenan had his thumb dislocated yesterday, but kept on playing. If there is a better pitcher in the Indianapolis club than McKeon, it is difficult to locate him. Russell McKelvey, of the Omaha club, played here in 1878. and was a strong favorite. He met with a kindly reception yesterday. The Omaha club will play again to-day, and win doubtless be in better shape than yesterday. It is evident that they are a good ball club. “Charley” Lord, manager of the Omaha elnb, was formerly a prominent young niau of this city, and yesterday morn people went out to see him than to see tbe game. Bcssenherz’s baud enlivened the proceedings yesterday by excellent music. It will be at the game this afternoon, and as this is “Ladles’ Day,” there should be a large attendance. Every member of- the Omaha club is sn em ploye of the Union Pacific railroad company at Omaha, and they have had but little practice. McKelvey, Foley, Salsbury aud Whitney are old professionals. The base-bull editor of tbe Journal yesterday received a dispatch from M. W. Stuck,’ manager o: the Terre Haute club, asking niiu to find Charles Smith, pitcher of the Pendleton club, and send him at once to Terre Haute. If this should meet the eye of Mr. Smith, lie will please go. The New Insane Asylums.
