It is reported in Washington that
John Schnroafcer. the (275,000 Demo
cratic Congressman, has sailed for
Europe.
Among the witnesses before the
New Orleans investigating committee
was the editor of The Shrereport
Times, who, on being asked what wu
the liest way, in bis opinion, to secure
good government for the State, re
plied. Kill Rf publicau'office-holders
from Kellogg down."
Six violent deaths in New Orleans
on Christinas day indicate that the
people there have peculiar ideal in re
gard to the proper observance of the
criptnra! injunction, On earth peace,

The President has nigned the Con
gressional bill relating to the relief of
settlers in the prat-hopper regions,
and enabling the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia to proceed
with its jury hnsines.
Wafhinaton dippatches indicate
that the Government intends to adopt
a more decisive Spanish polity, and
that the President especially favors a
more generous policy towards the Cu
ban insurgents.

A correspondent ot the Anderson

with quite an adventure the other day.
He had been out oa business, and
started home from New Lancaster,
Tipton county, in a bug:y. He drop
ped his pocket book containing
in c ih and $2,000 in notes, on the
.road, anil did not miss it until after
he had got into Elwood. . You may
well imagine th.tt he leit not a little

following close alter George, found
the pocketbook, and arriving in town,
returned it to its rightful owner."

that he owued more than a million

lived in the interior of the state, where
he bought townshins men now bur
acres. From the state he took in a sin-j
glo lot 80.000 acres at $3 per aery. Gar-

A Resume of the testimony taken
by the Vicksburg investigation shows
that the killing of the negroes was an
unprovoked massacre. When met by
the whites they retreated before a
hot was fired. Not-half of them
were armed, and they ;jwer accom
panied by women and children. Some
were killed while lying on the ground.
From sixty to seventy-five- were killed
and many remain unbaried to this
day. Altogether the Vicksburg mas
scrovems to have been the most
eowardly and the mst brutal of the
long catalogue of wholesale assassina
tion which have made of the South a
bloody ground. It ia , time for the
President to declare with emphajiia
that a single repetition of this class of
outrages will bring down the hand of
the Federal power heavily upon the

It is with deep regret that I have to
announce to yon the existence in this
state of a spirit of defi nance to all
lawful authority and an insecurity of
life which is hardly realized by the
general government or the country at
large. The lives of citizens have be
come so jeopardized that unless some
thing is done to give protection to the
j-eople all security usually afforded by
law will be overridden. Dtfiance to
the laws and the murder of individ
nals seems to be looked upon by the
community here from a stand point
which gives impunity to all who
choose to indulge in either, and the
civil government appears powerless to
piuiisn or even arrest it. i have to
night assumed control over the de

The military establishment f the
government cost us last year $31,000,
000. Unless affairs take a more
peaceful turn, we should not bo sur
prised to see the expenditures reach
40,0)0,000 or even $50,000,000 during
the present ncai year.
It would be interesting to know
just how much of this is expended iu
the enort to. maintain order and iut
down mobs and masked murderers in
the South. Are not the people of the
North tired of payiDg taxes to sup
press disorder among these pardoned
traitors who show their ingratitude
by defying the law and ignoring the
fruits ot our great contest, purchased
and paid for at such a cost? Let
there be no mistake about the issue.
As a result of the war, the following
cardinal principles were incorporated
in the Loustitution ot the country.
1. The riiiht of citizeu-i of the
Uuited States to vote shall not be .
abridged by the United States or by ;
any Mate on account of race, color, or j
previous condition of servitude. i
-. .No Mate " fchall deprive I
any person of life, liberty, or proierty
without due process of law, nor deny
to any person within its jurisdiction !
the equal protection of the laws. j
How are these provisions, so sacred
ly incorporated in the fundamental
aw ol the land, observed by the peo
ple of the South? Have thev franklv
accepted them, as a people should who I
were forgiven their unholy attempt at I
the life of the country; who were only I
asked to observe the principles of i
universal liberty as a condition prece- I
. l 4.. r .... .... - - t
The answer is written all over the
South in the blood of innocent men,
bed because they dared to accept a
boon which a brave people purchased
and extended to theiu. U hite and
black alike ARK refused 'the equal
protection of the laws." Their rights
are abridged and the privileges of
citizenship are denied both to those
who have chosen to make such States
who, being natives, desire to honestly
and faithfully accept and obey the '
laws. Thus are the efforts of the ;
North brought to naught. Thus are j
the mild conditions of peace broken j
and rejected. And to make the offonse
still more aggravating, the coward's !
course has been fursucd. j
If a suffering people under real or i
fancied wrongs rise and boldly pro-'
claim their willingness to suiter pun
isbment rather than submit to a de
grading statute, their action evokes
something of admiration and sympa
thy, but it has not been so with the
South. Not an iniquity has been per
petrated that the curlprits have not
prefaced it with an announcement to
their perfect acceptance of the princi
ples enunciated in the constitutional
amendments. They have professed
attachment to the federal Union
while viplating its organic law, and
have glorified Ihe Fifteenth Amend
ment while butchering the citizens
who was trying to enjoy tbe privileges
conferred by that amendment.
They drive off the . colored voter, t
and they persecute and murder the
white immigrant for doing only what
the American people have declared
they shall be protected in doing, and
then, with a sublimity of impudence
unparalleled, issue a pronunciamento.
reaffirming their abiding love and
adoration for the Constitution, the
Union, and the laws. '"We accept the
amendments honestly and in eood
faith," sajs one of their addresses,,
i .l. :i l. .i. .
auu me fame man l'iiu us iue par
ticulars of the murder of half a dozen
men. shot because they were exercis
ing one f the privileges conferred by
tbese amendments.
The North may as well understand
that these jieople po not accept tl e
Constitution. They are determined
that Northern men shall not live in
the South without subscribing to their
views and coin pi vine with their pecu
liar notions. When the war closed, I
the victors suposed that one question j
had been settled beyond dispute, and i
that was that a citizen of any State '
had thereafter the right to pitch his
tent where he would in all this wide
domain ami call that spot hi3 h.me.
But the supposition was erroneous,
and to-day we behold the same ostra- I
cisra. that prevailed before the war; (
wore than this even, for soldiers of j
the Republic who fought their way to f
the sea and tbe gulf, and gained by ;
their valor the right to live unmolest- ;
ed there, are subjected to insults and
midnight attacks from those wl o ;
failed to win in fair fight what they
are now determined to secure by
stealth and assassination. i
The question arises, are the people
of this country prepared to forego
their victory? Are they willing to be
debarred from a portion f the com-;
mon territory? The President, after I
appealing in vain to the judgement and :
humanity of these lawless men. has at '
last determined that they shall obey ;
the laws. Will the people now come
forward and uphold him in this effort
to enforce the great doctrines which
their sovereign voice proclaimed as j
law and which are now is danzer of j
destruction and overthrow ? Inter-

Indianapolis, Ind.. Jan. 3. Tbe
Hotels and boarding-houses are fill
ing up with members of the Legisla
ture and strangers. The Hon. Joseph
E. McDonald will have his headquar
ters at the Bites House, while oor
hees will e at the Occidental. The
new member of Congress-elect from
the Fourth District will be Holman
maoaeer. authorized to press his name
if the chances seem forable. His
rooms are in the Occidental. The
I lobbv members, as far as heard from,
are loud for McDonald, a good por-
tion of them !eing local politicians.
! Voorhees will be hete by Tuesday.
A caucus will 1 held early, if possi
ble, as every one is anxious to get tbe
vexed question disposed of. The
Democrats do not expect the two In
dependent Democratic Senators to go
into the caucus with them, but expect
their votes, which will give the Dem
ocrats coutrol of the body.
The Hon. William S. Holman spent
two or three days in the city last week,
looking over the Senatorial fielJ. The
proposition was talked oyer to have
nim run for Governor against General
Ben Harrison in 1S76, believing that
he was the only Democrat in the State
that could beat the grandson of Old
Tippecanoe. If Mr. Holman makes a
successful race for Governor, be is to.
be elected Seuator to suecccd Morton.
This proposition came from the Mc
Donald men, aud some reports have it
that Holman accepted it; hut ou tbe
other hand it is confidently stated
that Holman will allow the presenta
tion of his name to the caucus, and
has become convinced that he no run
in between McDonald and Voorhees.
As a matter of interest the count of a
well-posted politician is givt n U the
effect that Voorhees will lead Mc
'Donald eight votes on the first ballot
in the caucus. Strenuous exertions
are making by the Indianapolis ring
to decry the strength ot Voorhees, but
it is whistling to keep up courage. His
strength has alartnad the hard-money
managers here.
The Finance Bill - F.ITeet.
The new finance bill will probably
come up in the House on Thursday,
and the general belief is that it will
pa-s without material amendment, as
it passed the Senate. Some will sup
port the bill on its merits, others be
cause they believe it the best that can
be done now, aud others still because
' it will virtually remove the financial
question from pol tics for some time
to come, since the Semite will le com
mitted to this measure, and whatever
c-hauges the House may undergo, the
Senate cannot possibly be revolution
ized under lour years.
A now view of the effect of the
measure is started by some Western
members, and looks plausible, namely,
that it will materially contract the
national bank note circulation, with a
view to releasing the bonds deposited
for circulation, and so .avoiding the
loss thereon likely to be caused by the
shrinkage incident to a resumption
policy, it is certain that as green
backs rise tbe premium on bonds will
decliue, and this declension may be so
great as to make it an object for the
national banks to reduce their deposit
of bonds to the lowest practicable fig
ure, by reducing their circulation.
This would accelerate the apprecia
tion of paper currency, and hasten the
day of resumption. Journal.

The following is a copy of a petition
iu irculation in Wayne county:
To the Honorable the Senate and House "or
-Aiwt.ru'-iitjti vejft ntf ti ftate of Indiana:
The subscribers, your petitioners,
citizens of Wayne county, Indiana,
respectfully represent, that in view of
the wide-spread prostration of the
various industrial interests the un
settled financial condition of our
country, and general stagnation of
business as close adherence to the
strictest economy, is imperatively de
manded, as is consistent with the
absolute needs of the public service.
We, therefore, most respectfully, but
ureently, nsk your honorable bodies.
First To enact a general law re
ducing the salaries of all State, and
more particularly of all county officers
it being evident that such salaries now
are out of all proportion to the servi
ces rendered, and many times greater
than the temporary incumbents of the
offices could realize in any other em
ployment. We submit that the salary
and emoluments of no officer in any
county, however populous, should ex
ceed two thousand dollars annually,
and if assistants or deputies are need
ed, the compensation of such depu
ties should be regulated by law, and
all the receipts, from whatever source
of all county officers, be covered into
the treasury, and be drawn out only
on proper warrant, signed by the
commissioners, in strict accordance
with statutory enactments; and
Secondly To revise and simplify
proceedings at law, increase the juris
diction of justices ol the peace, facili
tate collections of debts without the
intervention of lawyers, and in tener
al to close tbe various drains on the
producing and industrial classes, by
fiaving less complicated agencies, and
obviating the unnecessarily expensive
aids in securing the end of justice.
It is almost useless to remind your
honorable bodies, that there is a very
general if not an actual unanimity of
opinion, on the subje;t named among
the laboringclasses of all parties, and
we very respectfully ask your early
attention to the subject.
- We petition your honorable bo"9ie,
not only to enact laws to secure the
object of our prayers, but also to pro
vide that the enactments be put in im
mediate operation.

Considerable anxiety is felt least a
contingency may arise nt the next

the twenty second joint rule of the
two houses, adopted in 1S65, which
provides that the vote of a State
may be thrown out on the objection
of a member of either house, such
objection being sustained by the
house, to which the objecting
member belongs. Under this rule,
the two houses being controlled
respectively by opposing political
parties, as will be the case in the
Forty fourth Congress, a disagree

Ihe thoughtful Think of it
There were 427 pasengers. but they
were not the child tea of wealth,
tbe luxurious tourists and orna
ments of polite society, like the
victims of the Viile du Havre, Not
many jeweled hands were uplifted
in despairing cries and prayers.
Only three of the 127 were cabin
passengers, all the rest were
steerage. But Uiey loved life, they
loved each other. For there were
entire families, father, mother, and
all the children, big and little.
They were going together to seek
a living for each other and them
selves in new and strange climes.
Most of the number were laborers,
who, driven out of employment
under the abominable tyranny of
strikes in England, weie in pursuit
of a new field of labor, where the
father could be permitted to use
the hands which God gave him in
gathering food for his wife and
babies. So there on the burning
boat were the embracings. the
farewells and the leaping with tbe
full vigor of life int-.i tbe grava
hand in hand: the babe lashed to
the mother's bosom, brothers and
sisters, fathers and sons, all, all
together swollowed up in the re
morseless sea. Of nearly 500
persons on board, but three are
known to survive the catastrophe.
Two boats, carrying thirty persons
each, left the fated ship and started
out on the ocean desert Two
days they floated together, and
then a storm cast them asunder.
One boat was found by the British
ship Sceptre, in which only five of
the original thirty still clung to
life. Ten mortal days of dying
hopes and dying friends had passed.
Tho living ate the dead to lengthen
out their chances, and cast the
mutilated bodies overboard, one by
one, themselves expecting to follow
soon. Two of the five found alive
were too far gone to rally to the
hand of rescue and died on board
the Sceptre before she reached St
Helena. Such are the facts so far
obtained. The three who survive
may tell the Btory of the last days
and bring farewell messages to
friends when they reach the shores
of Encland. It is supposed the
ship was set on fire by careless
smokers, upon whom as in all cases
of mortal calamity, the verdict will
be, "No blame attached."

bility that they are disposed to
undertake the job of killing the
hero of Ihe Shenandoah Vally.
They prefer to operate against
defenseless negroes and white Re
publicans; as at Cousliatta, Grant
Parish, and Vicksburg. It is be
lieved now that the organization of
the Legislature as returned by the
State Board will proceed without
interruption. The Senate is Re
publican, but. the House is doubtful.
Some Republican members of the
House from North Louisiana have i
notified their friends that they dare
not proceed to New Orleans for '
fear of assassination. Thif: fact i
shows that the threats of tbe j
Shreveport Times have not been t
without effect. j
rompnlmry Labor.
In connection with "compulsory ;
education.'' the Indianapolis Senfi- f
nel blends the following sensible'
and practical "remarks on the ben-;
efits of compulsory labor, as a pun-'
ishment for vagrancy and drunken- j
ness: '
There is a great deal said lately !
about compn'sory education, the
standard argument being tbe good '.
of the State, the suppression of
mischief, and prevention of crime.
Now, there is no better remedy
known among mankind for vagran
cy, discontent, vice and crime than
gdOd. square, honest labor. If,
therefore, it is proposed for the
public weal to take children out of
parental control into the hands of
the State, and arbitrarily send them
to school, why it is not equally wif h
in the scope of government to take
the grown np vagrants, dead beats,
an 1 loafers, and cpmpel them to
work. The streets are full of vag
abonds who beg or steal their
living rather than work. The police
justice's of New York City, who
have the best chances to know the
character, and habits of the great
class which require an expensive
force to take care of them, report
in favor of taking the beggars and
tramps off the street and compell
ing them to work and earn their
living. They say that at the prisons
there is no provision for working
more than half the 6hort term
convicts- They get into jail and
are fed while lyicg around in idle
ness, which just suits them. This
fact increases vagrancy. If that
class found the consequences of
arrest a pretty long f en a of con
finement and hard work, they would
prefer to seek employment for
themselves. Hard work is a healthy
penalty, there is nothiag in it
inconsistent with the best good of
the whole man. If the penalty for
getting drunk were to saw a cord
of dry hickory wood, the effect
would be better than a fine. Com
pulsory labor should come at the
same time as compulsory education
and for like reasons.

at a Nnt SUell.
The Inter-Ocean, of the 14th, winds !
up a sensible article on the tariff ques- j
tion, nuJVives, in a brief paragraph, j
the real issue :
"Our eerie of tariff acts since r
March 2, 1861, constantly show and j
maintain a purpose a policy which,
might naturally induce men to invest j
properly in manufactures, and tooom-t
iu it themselves to those pursuits in
life. The vast and rapid increase of,
investment in tho diversity of the re-i
jiroductire arts in tbe Uuited States J
has been the direct eonsequenee f
this Ions-continued legislative invila-i
tion and encouragement, until hun-i
drcds of millions ot dollars have be-'
coine fixed capital in a multitude of)
matiul H turing esrablishment, scat-)
tered all over the country, in the '
fhape of buildings, machinery, mill-!
dams, mines and so torth. In process
of time, the connect ion and cohesion
of these various iuterest have devel
oped into a nt-work ot reciprocities,
so closely nnited as to be mutually
dependent on one auother; and there
is no disturbing one great branch of
the system without injury to all the
rest. As an illustration of the manner
in which all the fibers of all the differ
ent kinds of industry carried on in tbe
United States lire iuterwoven together,
their aggregate has been apily com
pared toa spider's web. so that a shock
to any part is transmitted to the
others, aud ruus through the whole
texture. Now. the free traders are,
some of them, determined, of wet pur
pose, to break down the manufactur
ers of this country; others are only in
different and utterly reckless in all
that relates to them, the inevitable
result of their scheme, should it prove
BuvLTNtui, lacing to destroy ine iuo
of a considerable part of the immense
fixed capital invested in the repro
ductive arts on our soil, and to greatly
depreciate all the rest, besides trans-,
ferring a stupendous amount of em-,
i:
lovmeiit trom home labor to foreign
abor, to be followed necessarily by a
diminution of the purchasing power
of our artisans and day laborer-,
through the dwarfing of their earning
capacity.
A "revenue tariff" is merely a dela
sive form of words. Tbe issue is
veiled by sophistry, when it is stated
as being between a "revenue tariff"
and a "protective tariff." Confronted
with fact and experience, the issue is
really between genuine protection and
spurious protection between patriotic
protection and unpatriotic protection
between protection to home industry
and piotection to foreign industry."

The third annual report of the Na
tional Prison Association, fromthe
hand of the Secretary, Rev. Dr. E. C
Wines, is a document of much general
interest to humanitarians and political
economists. Its statistics show thatr
there are in the United States forty
four State prisons, containing an ag
gragate of 16,125 cells, whose average
cubic contents to each cell is 210 feet,
or half the health standard. The ex
cess of expenses over earnings in thirty
prisons during 1873 wa 545,744, the
cost of a convict beinir $172, and his
average earnings $121. The cost at
Albany, N Y., was $161 per prisoner;
at S.ng Sins (m ile) $274; S ng Sing
(female), $242. The "contract" system
of labor prevails in twenty prisons, the
'leasing'' system in six. State manage
ment iu ten. and a mixed ' system in
seven. One prisoner in 100 has a su
perior education; fifty-one a tolerable
common sfhool education, and forty
eight are illiterate. Three-fourths of
the convicts bad no trade, and ot the
remainder, one-half had acquired a
t.ade but imperfectly. The appendix
to the report contains an csay by a
member of the Penitentiary Commit
tee of France, in which a particular
indorsement of the "cellular," or in
dividual treatment, is given.
