Circnlur from the Chairmen of the
Two State Committees.
To thb Public. The undersigned
having had oar attention called to the
act of May 13. 1869, regulating the mode
of holding elections, found on page 58 of
the acts of 1869, and having taken legal
advice in regard to its construction, and
appending herewith an opinion of the At
torney General, are of the opinion that
the seventh section of said act relates to
city and town elections for municipal
purposes only ; and that the general
elections for Stale, county and township
offices are regulated by the 3d, 4th, 5th
and Cth seel ions of the act. And, there
fore, the election to take place on the
11th inst. should be conducted in csn-
forniity to the regulations made under
said last named sections by the Town
ship Trustees and Boards of County
Commissioners, without any reference
to section seven.

I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of yoor note of this instant cal
ling my attention to an opinion address
ed to C P. Ferguson, Esq., Charlestown,
Indiana, in relation to the construction
of the seventh section of an act of May
13 18C9, regulating elections and the
appointment of officers therefor. The
opinion having been hastily prepared is
liable to a misconstruction, and - may
have a tendency to mislead the puVlic.
, I am satisfied that the seventh section
of the act alluded to ought to be con
strued to cover elections held by cities
ind towns for municipal purposes only,
and that it does not apply to State, coun
ty and township elections held Tor gen-
. eral purposes;
Yoa will, therefore, favor some by
pubtibiiii IV- ?r-'-ntorr note.

SCHUYLER COLFAX.
The speech of Vice President Colfax,
to the crowded Lyceum Hall, on Tues
day afternoon last, was replete with un-,
answeraHe argument and convincing
facts, and we did hope that our neighbor
. of the Democratic Herald could have re- !
mained and beard him through .for we '
thought that even he might have been "
convinced of the error of his ways! We
have only room for one of the points he
made, in regard to the Hendricks-Gooding-Democratic
plan, these worthies ad- .
vocate br paying off the Democratic Na
tional Debt issue a batch of Greenbacks
with which to redeem the Bonds!
In discussing the subject of the
national debt, he said:
The Democracy say that when
they get into power they are going j
to pay off the national debt. They j
never loved the national debt ort
the cause in which it was contract
ed; but now they say, Only give
us the control of the government,
and we will "maintain ihe public
credit we wi'I pay off the public
debt. How are they going to do
it? They say they are going to
ifijue "reenbaoks for that purpose
and pay off the debt in those green
backs. Now how does the green
backs read? "The Uuited States
promises to pay to the bearer
dollars. (Signed,) F. E.
Spinner." This is a promise to
pay at our convenience without
any specified time, and without in
terest. That is a greenback. Now
how doc a bond read? just the
same precisely as the greenback,
except tha.t there is a time fixed
for payment and interest to be
paid on it. Now the Democratic
panacea for all the ills to which
our country is heir is to pay off
one end of the debt of the United
States rith. the other end. If to
p ty off these bonds of the United
States, payable at a given date,
and bearing interest, you are to
issue more of these greenbacks,
promising to pay whenever you
please, end without interest, what
kind of honesty is that? Suppose
that at the conclusion of my term
of office, when I shall retire to
private life, I should come to your
city to go into business manfac
turing for instant ean1 I ' go to 1
one of jour wealthy Democratic
citizens and want to borrow money
to carry on my business upon.
The rate of "interest is agrved
upon and I give my note, reading
'somewhat after tliis fashion: "I
promise to pay to John Doo, or
order, one year after datt Un
thousand dollars, with intcreM.
Some time after I have got the
money my Democratic fitcml
comes up here and makes a speech,
presenting Ins' views an the finan
cial policy of the Government and
unfolds his plan of the payment of
the National debt. I am present
end hear what be bos to say upon
that subject. ( The next day, or
a few days after, I call on him and
say "I have come to pay my note.
"Very well. He' opens his safe
and bands me the note, and I, in
return for it, haul out ofmy pocket
and give him "a piece of paper on
which I have written, '-I promise
to pay to John Doe or order ten
days after convenient, ten thous
and dollars (Signed,) Schuyler
Colfax." What does my Demo
cratic friend think of that? He
sa3's to roe, 'You swindler! yon
knave! I aj to him, 'that is pre
cisely what you advocated in your
speech in regard to the payment
of the national debt; if it is honest
in the nation to pay off its debts
that waj it is honest in me. That
is certainly true no man can
; reasonably say no to that and if
the man calls me a swindler for
proposing to get rid of my obliga
tions in that way, what shall I say
of his argument in regard to the
national debt?
Expenditures UuderGrant and Buch
anan Compared.
! The Democracy have much to say
about the enormous expenditures of the
Republican Administration of Genera'
Grant, as compared with Democratic ad
ministrations. To make out a case, they include all
the expenses created by the Democratic
Rebellion, and which should be charged
to that instead of the Republican party.
Official figures show the truth on this
subject. To get at the expenses of Gen
Grant's Administration, all the items
occasioned by the Democratic rebellion
should be deducted; the balance being
fairly chargeable to the Republican par
ty as the cost of the. Government, had
not the Democracy rebelled.
The following figures show the exact
state of the case:

ted States at 40.000,00(1. tbe expense for

June 30, I860 the expenses of the Gov
ernment, including interest on the public
debt, as in the statement respecting the
Administration of President Grant, were
$63,025 789 34, gold, the population be
ing about $31,400,000; per capita, $2.0. 7
showing a proportionate expenditure
of 18 per cent, less in 1870 than in 1860
upon tbe same basis, notwithstanding the
increased area of the country, the inter
est on Pacific Railroad bonds, and the
organization of new territories.
But the Resident Committee has also
instituted a per capita comparison, and
gives the per capita expenditures for tbe
twenty-four years, as follows:
Presidents. Tears. Exclusive of In-
teret and Debt.
Jackson 8 ,..1 16
Van liuren 4 ...1 78
Polk.. 4 1 75
Pierce 4 ...1 96
Buchanan 4 2 19
Average yearly for the 24 jears, $1 77
As shown above, the net ordinary ex
penditure, per capita, by Grant, on a
peace standard and gold basis being the
standard and basis applied to Buchanan
is $161 per capita; which is less than
the alleged annual average f r the twen
ty-four years in the sum of 13 c.nts per
capita:
14 cents less per capita than the average
under Van Buren.
II cents less per capita than the average
under Polk.
32 cents less per capita than the average
under Pierce.
55 cents less per capita than the average
under Buchanan.
It should be remembered that the
much wider area of the country now than
under Jackson, Van Buren or Buchan
an, would naturally make the expendi
tures proportionately greater: and yet
they are positively less under Geii.Gract.
Let the People take notice.
No Government and no admin
istration ever existed which can
'show such a brilliant financial rec
ord as tbe Government under the
management of the Republican
party. All that is necessary to be
done to continue this record is to
keep tbe Republican party in power.
The Coutrnat ef Parties.
The Republican parly enme in
to power in the State in January,
18(11. It fouud that Democratic
llnnncierii) bad created a debt oi
over irii millions;' it found that
vahabU fittnehbes of the State,
nu)0iiuiii) lu the aggregate to
noNtly two million of dollars hud
been pqusndeted and frittered
away uj on parfy favorites; it
found the credit of the State shat
tered and almost destroyed. Her
bonds were almost worthless.
They were shunned by capitalists,
Indianiansi were ashamed of the
contempt into which the credit of
the State bad been brought. There
was not a citizen of the State, so
licitous for her honor and good
name, who did not feel most keen
ly the criticisms upon the financial
standing of the Slate.
With the retirement ot the cor
rupt Democratic administration,
came an investigation of the caus
ses of this bad financial condition
of the State. The astounding dis
covery was made that vast forger
ies of State securities had been
going on, and that a Democratic
State agent had issued fraudulent
stocks to the extent of $2,300,000;
bnds which had been redeemed
and were again put upon the market
and resold. Fortunately for the
people fortunately for the State's
credit, the Republican administra
tion caused the fraudulent eviden
ces of the indebtedness of the
State to be destroyed. The most
strenuous efforts were made to re
cover the large amount of which
the Treasury had been robbed, but
he effort was fruitless. The rire
which had stolen it was bankrupt,
pecuniarily and morally, individu
ally and collectively and nothing
was saved.
By economy and honesty, the
Republican party not only paid the
debt which a corrupt Democratic
administration had left, but it so
enhanced the credit of the State
that holders of her bonds refused
to relinquish them for the cash,
and only when by order of the
Auditor of State, the interest upon
them ceased, did they surrender
them. The contrast carries with
it a complete and indisputable re
futation of the charge of co: rup
tion and fraud in the Republican
party. Only by the strictest in
tegrity and economj- could such a
result have been attained.
To The Republicans of Wayne
County.
I am aware that many of you
deem the election of next Tues
day as a matter of no very great
importance, but I beg of you to
discard that idea. In this county
our ttcket will, as a matter of
course, be elected; but the other
parts of the State and other coun
ties where there are Democratic
majorities and where the Republi
cans are doing their whole duty,
have a claim on you, and a just
one too. They have a right to de
mand that you shall do your duty
and your whole duty; if you do, all
is right. Our State Ticket is of
far greater importance to us even
than our county ticket, and our
Congressional canvass and success
of the nominee, is ati important. I
eartestly entreat every man who
claims to be Republican to come
out to the polls and vote; and not
only so, but to vote a clean un
scratched ticket. Let no man feel
that he has even done his duty
then, but let him see that every
other voter in his vicinity has vo
ted, and if he i3 not able to go to
the polls see that he has an oper
tunity tody so. Let every one feel
that on that day, at least, he is his
"brother's keeper," and is account
able. I say to my associates who
have with me so long fought the
bnt'lesof the Radical wing or the
party, if you falter now in the sup
port of tue whole ticket, rerr.ember
tbe old adage, "curses like chick
eYi3t always come home to roost "
let us not seek, by hanging back,
to emulate the bad example of
those we used to condemn; two
wrongs never make a right. I
think I can safely By upon the
part of those who are styled Mr.
Julian's friends, by way of dis
tinction, that they will do their
whole duty on the day of Election.
If they do not, I warn them
that the consequence will be inju
rious to them and him. Every
man who fails to vote the whole
ticket is, morally, a dishonest man,
and shonld be so regarded. A full
vote is all that is needed to insure
success upon our part. Let us
aave that. Let not the banner
count' of the State falter now when
we ar eo near tue final settlement
of all the great plans of ourpartjv
Rest assured that every Democrat
will be at the polls and vote.
Their Slate Centeral Committee
have given special instructions, by
a secret circular, to have every
man at the polls and be sure to
supply all doubtful and wavering
with a ticket before the election, let
us learn, wisdom by them and do
likewise. The tickets will all be
uniform and I eaded Republican
Ticket, look well to them and be
cureful of bogus tickets; let every
man read his ticket. I especially
urge the Township Committees to
do their whole luty, see that noth
ing is undone ; see that every vo
ter is on hand ; the sick, the lame,
the aged-and infirm. It is our
boast, and a proud one, too, that
nearly all tbe old men ol tbe coun
ty are Republicans. Let our watc -word
be God and ojr country, and
all will be well. H. B. Patnb,

This is a fine way Democratic
leaders have of showing their pat
riotism and love for the Union.
The only way to prevent them
from doing mischief is to keep the
party out of power. Every vote
against the Republican candidates
is a vote for putting public af

The Election.
Oj'Tuesday next the State el ec
tion will be held. It is one of the
most important to the people of
any since the rebellion. There is
a Democratic ring formed for the
express purpose of compelling the
people of Indiana to pay the canal
bonds amounting to about eigh
teen millions of dollar?. It has
be?n openly asserted by leading
Democrats that these bonds would
be a splendid investment. This
nie-rns that it a majority in the
Legislature is Democratic the canal
swindle will be foisted upon the
people, their taxes doubled, the
State involved in an enormous d-ibt,
which will burden them for years.
This calamity can only be averted
by voting the Republican ticket.
No denial has ever been made of
the charge that a scheme has been
projected by the Democracy to
this end; no contradiction has ever
been made of the oft-repeated as
sertion that by the advice of Au
gust Belmont, a holder of a large
e mount of the canal bonds, a stud
ied reserve was maintained in the
Convention of the 8th of January
upon this subject.
Every Republican of Wayne
county owes it to his own interest,
to that of his neighbor, and to the
prosperity of the State to work
earnestly and zealously for the
success of the Republican ticket.
To fail in bis duty to work and
vote is to invito increased taxation
and plunge the State into debt
a debt, too, which would be' unjust
and which has long since ben sat
isfied. Upon the next Legislature will
devolve the duty of electing a Uni
ted States Senator. Dan Voor
hees is a candidate for that exal
ted position. The stigma whih
his election would bring upon the
State, should appall every loyal
citizen. He is the man who trade
frequent journeys to Canada to
j consult rebels as to the best meth
od of involving Indiana in the
treasonable conspiracy to dettroy
the Utiiorj; he is the man who
boasted that his vote would never
be caat to furnish men, monev or
supplies to crush the rebellion. A
letter recently published, written
by Chief Justice Chase, contains
an expression which we could
wish to imprint in indellible
characters on the mind and heart
of every true American. It is this:
"That those lately in rebellion
have no more right to destroy the
country by ballot3 than by bul
lets." .
The Democratic party ha9 not
accepted the iss;tcs of the past as
finally Fettled in favor of peace,
unity, and freedom. It holds, with
fiendish tenacity, to the same evil
doctrines which once lighted the
fit.es of civil discord all over the
land. It contends for the right of
States to nullify or at least to de
feat national regulations, calcula
ted to defend the liberties of the
imperilled citizen, and to secuie to
citizens of Ohio or Massachusetts
while sojourning in Georgia, Tex
as or Alabama, all the rights en.
joyed by the citizens of those
Slates. The power of the Federal
Government to carry out its own
laws in all the States is denied.
Our dnty is to stand by the ad
ministration which so nobly 6iis
tained our national credit, and so
largely reduced the pub!io debt.
To allow a Democratic House, to
be elected would be to embarrass
G?neral Grant's administration,
and defeat many of its most bene
ficial measures of economy ?nd re
form. We must, at the fall elec
tions, shower another avalanche of
emphatic and overwhelming Re
publican majorities on the hopes
of the party which still shelters
the doctiines and the persons of
secessionists and traitors.
: Let not the proud banner of the
Rr publican party be trailed in the
dust: By the memory ol its glo
rious deeds by the memory of
the heroism and sacrifices of thous
ands of brave men, let us do our
dut3, and "take care that no harm
comes to the country."
Let the people of Indiana re
member that the Republican party
resolved, in convention, at Indian
apolis that the cqntitution of the
State ought to be amended at the
earliest practicable period so as to
prohibit the taking effect of any
law proposing to pay what are
called the canal bonds, issued un
der what is known as the Butler
bid. Thus placing themselves up
on the record in a decided and
practical manner n that question.
It s not a pleasant fact for Dem
ocrats to consider, that while the
receipts, in eighteen months under
Grant's administration have in
creased 837,213,765.60 over those
of a corresponding period of John
son's misrule, the expenditures
have decreased 853,853,060.77,
thus saving to the country 9170,
006,826.37. - - -
The Democratic members ofl

and reduction of taxation.

record of the Republican party
and of the infamous record of the
Democratic party, and then decide
which is tbe safest, purest and
best.

sorts of trickery," and pay no at
tention to reports originating with
Democrats.
The corrupt ring at Indianap
olis, which is attempting to sad
dle the people of Indiana with the
canal debt, are busy at their ne
farious schemes. They must be
closely watched. The Indianapo
lis Journal says:
'On yesterday afternoon a prom
inent and influential Democrat of
this State, held a conversation
with a Democratic friend of this
city, in an alley in the rear cf the
latter's store, which happened to
be overheard by a gentleman who
gives it to us. Tbe most promi
nent remark was that of the prom
inent gentleman, who said: 1
will go down to Boone county and
see , and there shall, be no
returns come here until you tele-
cranli for them. Tell how many
votes vou want and they 6hall be
sent."
Eleciiou Law.-
The Indiana election law pro
vides that hereafter every voter's
ballot shall be numbered. The
following section of the law wil
govern Inspectors of elections in
receiving ballots at the October
election:
''It shall be the duty of the In
spector of any election held in this
State, on receiving the ballot of
onv voter, to have the same num
bered with figures on the outside
or back thereof, to correspond
with the number placed opposite
the name of such voter on the pol
lists kept by the clerks of said
election.'
It only requires thorough 'work
in getting a full Republican vote
to the polls, to overwhelm the De
mocracy in defeat. The elections
which have already been held,
fIiow that the Republican party
has made large gains. Reports
lrom all parts of this State, are
cheering, and indicate a strong
and vigorous organization. The
outlook is indeed all that the most
enthusiastic Republican could de
sire. Let us do our duty, and not
fall behind our brethren in other
parts of the State.
The Democratic party which
claims to have controlled the gov
ernment for eighty years, prepar
ed it in thut time for successful re
bellion, and for four years of civi'
war. the fruits of which are the
death ol over 250,000 young men
and a national debt of 82,500,000,
000- Who desires to repeat Dem
ocratic rule, if such are its fruits?
Among the many damning items
in the people's indictment against
the Democracy, not the least is the
fact that our Democratic State offi
cers redeemed bonds end then, in
violation ot law, put them upon
the maiket again, at a large dis
count. faa- The adjourned August Term of the
Wayne Civil Circuit Court, takes place on

THE MYSTIC TIE.
How often it is true of life,
That hearts the best, the most depending.
Have parted in unseemly strife,
Tbe mutual bond of friendship ending;
How o'ten has seme so-called friend.
Than whom you'd trust In no on stromrer,
Declared your friendship at an end.
When be required your aid no longer.
How fragile is this social bond,
That binds us seemly to eacb other;
What little does it mean beyond
The idle name of "friend" or "brother?"
The word is only passing smoke,
. The smie, the gilt in which they sheath it;
How little, if we lift the cloak.
Is there of love or truth beneath it.
Then bail to that All-seeing Eye,
That watches o'er each proven brother,
And bless that good old mystic tie,
That firmly binds us to each' other.
Where kindred love we ever share.
In harmony and true love revel.
And only part upon the Square, -
To meet again upon the Level.
