At indianapolis, the seat Of government
of the state of Indiana, as every where
else, the news of the death of Gen. Har-
rison produced great sensation. A pub
lie meeting was held Immediately on the
occasion, at which the Governor of the
state presided, and delivered a feeling adj
dress. Resolutions were reported by a
committee expressive of the sense of the
meeting Of the bereavement which tho
nation has sustained. These resolutions
were seconded by the Hon. Oliver I'll.
Smith (U. S. Senator from Indiana) in a
speech, from which the following extract
possesses interest for all political readers:

Mr.. Hsbsfer.-Infinite pains have
been taken by editors and friends Of the
party recently in power, to create, in the
minds Of the people. prejudice against
Mr.. Webster, by representing him as
opposed to The last war, and as doing
many things calculated to retard a success
ful prosecution Of it. BY these means
prejudices have been excited in the minds
II many good men. tits due to Justice
!. is due to the high station which he now
occupies before the country-that these
falsehoods should be exposed, and Mr..
Webster's true position made known.
To effect this purpose VIC have copied
into our paper to-day an exposition of the
votes upon which the charges are made,
and an extract from aspeech delivered by
him in the Senate of the United States
in 1898; all which will be read with
interest II will be seen that our "very
consistent Democrats condemn Mr..
Webster as a L" Hartford Convention
Federalist" for voting with Mr.. Eppes,
abe son-in-law Of Mr.. Jefferson, and leader
of the then Democratic party, our own
Nathaniel Macon, and many other warm
supporters Of the Administration Of MIR.

POOR H0USE-0RANGE, ls4l.
Believing il 10 be the duty Of all per-
sons who hold public trusts, TO render an
account Of their stewardship, thc Court Of
Wardcns have deemed it proper 70 pub.
lish an account Of their doings for the las
three years, as new board has just been
elected and organized (of the same per.
sOns) to manage this public charity fol
three years to come.
On reference 10 the books Of the Su'
perintendent, Mr.. William Gattis, our
steward, it appears that for the three
years, from March |, 1888, TO March l.,
lS4l, the whole amount expended is
s3,440, or about 81, $50 annually; which
will not be more than $40 a year for each
pauper. The number Of paupers vary
from thirty to thirty-five. The present
number is thirty-one, out Of population
of about twenty-three thousand souls, or
only about one in seven hundred and
fifty.
We carry on a small farm, and raise
oats, corn, peas and potatoes, and have a
good garden.
We have two negro men to cultivate
the farm, provide wood, &c. and one wo-
man to wash and cook.
To the Steward and Mrs. Gattis We
pay sl75, and about $3.50 for the hire of
the negroes. To our Clerk, who records
all the proceedings, we pay annually $50.
The annual tax of ten cents upon each
poll. and five cents on every hundred dol
lars valuation, the sum of about 81 300.
We have now on hand 81 ,053 Oh, af-
ter paying all our debts up to March l,
ls4l.
We regret if every body is not satisfied
with our administration but 1t is the lot
of all to err, and many to complain for the
sake often of fault finding; but we flatter
ourselves that large portion Of our fell |
low citizens are satisfied with the man
agement of the late board, and with our
attentive Steward and excellent matron
Mrs. Gattis.
We cordially invite the citizens gene
rally, and the friends of the poor. to visit
the Poor House, and see for themselves
the comfort in which the unfortunate in
mates are kept. Good clean rooms, well
clothed and fed, and clean comfortable
beds.

THE NATIONAL FAsr.-We rejoice
(says the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser) that the President of the United
States has seen fit to recommend day of
fasting, humiliation, and prayer, on which
the people of this widely extended coun-
try may solemnly consider their recent
most affecting bereavement. Fer this act
the President will receive the warm ap-
probation of the Christian community, at
least, and we think of the people general
", without respect to political differences
of opinion. The style of the recommen-
dation, too, is perfect model for papers
of this sort--simple, chaste, comprehen-
sive, and solemn. Whenever the politi-
cal head of any nation is removed by
death, it has always been regarded as a
subject for serious reflection. He is in a
certain sense, for the time being, the IA
Their of the people. When death removes
him, an interesting tie is severed; and the
people are solemnly admonished, not on
iy Of the uncertainty ofhuman life, but of
the vanity of earthly distinctions. But
the bereavement which we have expert
enccd furnishes cause not only for deep
sorrow, but for profound meditation upon
the dispensations of the Supreme Cover
nor of nations.

SENATOR TALLMADGE.-There is not
the slightest foundation for the rumor that
Mr.. Tallmadge will abandon his post in
the Senate and take office under the ge-
neral government. He bore distinguish
ed part in the struggle which has resulted

the work is as yet only half accomplish
cd. Important measures Of reform, ne
ccssary to insure a return of prosperity
to the country, are to be submitted to
Congress at its next session. The dis
tribution of the proceeds Of the public
lands, the adjustment of the tariff, and the
establishment of a National Bank, are
measures which viii require all the Ia
tents, zeal, and perseverance of every
friend of the people in the national legis-
lature to effect their passage. Upon these
great measures the last battle with loco
focoism is to be fought, and to that fight
Mr.. Tallmadgc intends to devote himself.
