STATE sENTINEL--WEEKLY.

This weeks number closes the Fourth Tol-
unle Of the WEEKLY STATE SENTINEL, and
another, of course, commences the Fifth.
We shall then change the principal head for
one occupying less space, by which we shall
gain room for new matter. Our arrange
ments will BE very favorable to new subscri-
bers, giving theh a much larger amount of
reading matter for the same money than can
be obtained in any other paper in this State.
We hope our friends throughout the State
will continue their subscriptions, and aid us
as much as they can in obtaining new ones.
Grateful for such favors, we shall always en-
deavor to repay them by increased energy,
enterprise and Improvement. Our ambition
has chiefly been to establish at the Capital
of Indiana, a newspaper of a respectable and
useful character: We may have fallen short
in our aim, but we have lone all that our
means would permit to accomplish it. The
people generally, and particularly the Dem
ocratic party, its eminent members especial
ly, ought to feel some interest in this matter,
and we trust will do all in their power to aid
us.

Ohio StatcSmau:

We cannot do justice to our own feelings, and pass
over a compliment like the following, even though it
may subject us to the charge, perhaps, of egotism and
a love of fattery. But the high character of the
ONO STATESMAN, the long-continued and energetic
labors of its talented editor, his irmness and unsus-
pected honesty in the same cause to which our hum
bic efforts have been devoted in a less extended sphere,
render it Of high value. Next to a large list of ad-
vertisors and paying subscribers, nothing cheers on
and more encourages an editor than a knowledge that
his labors, however humble, have been appreciated.
Our friend of the Statesman, we trust, will not be
disappointed in his expectation of a loud crow in Au-
gust next. 1t shah not be OUR fault; if he is, at all
events. The signs are favorable in all quarters. We
shall have to buy our next new suit.
INDIANA STATE SENTINEL.
Chapman-the real Growing Chapman from The
Hoosier Stato-now publishes the Indiana State SEN
tinel twice a week. While published but once in Sc
ven days, the Sentinel was an excellent paper-of
course, as a semi-weekly, it is tcice as good now.
By tie bye, Mr.. Sentinel; we expect to hear one of
your loudest crows over your August elections and
the way the Statesman viii return It, over regenerat-
ed Ohio, will be death to coonery.

The DiGcrence.

We are willing to accord to the Wings of Indiana
strict Justice on the Native American question.
While in the East, at Boston. Philadelphia, New
York and New Orleans, to say nothing Of smaller CT
ties and towns. that party in their desperation united
with the miserable faction for the sole purpose of
getting into Office and power, the wings Of Indiana
invariably denied the 'sOft impeachment and 're-
pudiated' the doctrine as a party. Yet as a comPo-
men, part of that party, they rejoiced over the victo-
.ries of the illegitimates with Exceeding great JOY"
claiming them as their own-as a ''terrIblc defeat
and prostration'' of the Democratic party. They were
willing to sride the fence kecnly anxious to ascerl
tain whether to continue, Gilpin like, as did a few Of
the neck-or-nothing underlings, or to wait The result,
when Indiana, with her hardy and industrious natur-
allied population would be unable to turn the scale.
Their hopes and their fears are alike blasted. Hence
we cannot give them credit for honesty, either then or
now. The sensible people of the country have froxn-
ed down the miserable faction. The wings of the
West then, as now, were acting the demagogue to our
naturalized citizens. Had the Native American party
in the east been successful, western wings would have
followed their eastern brethren, and thrown themselves
into that foul embrace. In the east, they are scat
tered to the four winds of heaven. In the west, a
different course must be pursued. Nor, they pretend
to be, par excellence, the exclusive friends Of the To-
reigner. So much so, indeed, that they fatter them
selves to be able to elect a candidate Of that stripe in
at least one district, by a barefdced attempt to i'm
pose upon the honest naturalized citizens, a renegade.
Let the voters of the Second District, especially ma
turalized Irislmen, read the following from one of
the Native American Organs, and if they don't give
Roger Martin leave to go ''back to his hole,'' then
we much mistake their good sense.
Back to your holes, We Shiny, sinking reptiles
We verify begin to think from the myriads of ver-
min, that are infesting our land, that st. Patrick has
been committing another miracle in the 'swate land
OF bothering Misunderstanding out the vermin.''

MORMON TRIALs.-The trials at Carthage, H., OF
the persons charged with the murder of 10. Smith,
have resulted in their uoquital. It as stated that the
perjury Of three of the Mormon witnesses was palpa-
BILE, so much so, that the prosecuting attorney, in his
opening speech, asked the jury to pay no attention
whatever to their testimony-thgt it was rank PERU
ry from beginning to end-as such, he wanted ii
thrown out of the case entirely, and the witnesses
handed over to ~perdition. He also expressed a will
lingness to stop all further proceedings against two
of the Acknowledgements Davis and Grover-who
were most implicated in the transaction by these per-
jured witnesses-there being nothing proved against
them by the credible portion of the witnesses they
however declined the p%roffer, preferring to wait the
decision of the jury. The accused were bound over
for trial on another indictment for the alleged murder
of Hirum Smith.

The Easfern Mails.

Why is il, that we get news from New York,
through the Tri-weeklY papers of Columbus, Ohio,
generally about a sceek later than we get the same
news direct from the daily papers of New York I,
There IS something very mysterious in this, and we
can account for it in no other way than by s~upposing
that the mail bags are suffered to remain IN the Co
lumbus, Ohio, post Office, until it is Convenient to as
sort and send them on. We have suffered the infic-
ton Of this evil until we have become inpatient. 1t
ought to be remedied.

The Fire i'm Quebec.

The loss of property by this terrible confa grafton
is estimated at two to three millions of dollars but
this is far from indicating the amount of human suf'
fering caused by it. The papers say that no less than
1900 people are left houseless, and that as many az
one hundred lives were lost. The buildings were
mostly of wood and the district conpactly built. The
fire spread with such rapidity and fury, that the sick
and helpless could not be saved. 1t is supposed that
not Iess than one hundred persisted. This is a terri.
BILE calamity.

GThe story, brought to our notice a day or two
since, that some other paper in this place has a larger
circulation than the State Sentinel, we have hereto
fore been unwilling to notice; and because we doubt
ed if any could be so deceived. To be sure, a notice
to that effect apparently, has been published but he
must be soft i1deed, who cannot see the Bag hole left
to crawl out 1t was as bad as a lie, however, be-
cause intended to deceive. The Sentinel has the lar
gest, and the Journal the next largest list, in the
place.

GThere is a great deal of billing and cooling be-
tween the wing candidates for Congress in the 9th
and 10th districts, and the abolitionists. The aboli-

necessity there is of their getting abolition votes to
secure their election.

6JIt is stated that the Supreme Court of New
York, at its last term, decided that the General Bank
ing Law, so far as it authorizes associations for car
rying on the, business Of banking, is unconstitutional
and void The Albany Atlas thinks that this deci-
sion comes rather late in the day, after the law has
been in force seven years; aud just as the. present con-
%stitution of the State is to be superseded by a new
one. The question, we suppose, viii be carried to
the Court Of Errors for decision.

6TThe U. S. Journal says that there are more
than twenty printers who are performing the duties Of
clerks in the Departments at Washington, and that
they are equal, if not superior, to others who had the
advantages of a collegiate education. We have no
doubt about it. Half the college ~hedglings don't
know a comma from the fuke of an anchor.

1t is announced in the Alton Telegraph, by one
just returned from Lexington, KY, that the domestic
affections of the distinguished statesman Henry Clay,
have, lately been greatly added to, by his youngest
sons becoming deranged. This is the second son that

from the same source, that Mr.. Clay has become a

New IMPRovEMENr.-Mr. Coleman of New York
has invented a locomotive engine which ascends in
clined planes with facility. The newspapers speak
of it in terms Of appreciation. 1t consists of a screw
uuder the engine, operating on a set of cogs, which
form a third rail placed midway between the other
two. 1t is both simple and ingenious. The attach
ment is elevated above the level of the driving wheels,
and does not interfere with the running of the engine
on the level portion of the road.

Small Pax.

The Small Pox is said to prevail to a limited extent
In Tippecanoe, Jennings and Jefferson counties, in
this State We hear of it, also. IN several of the
Eastern Cities. It is generally reported Of a mild
type. A late number of the London Lancet has the
following, on the subject of vaccination:
1.-The general conclusions drawn by Dr.. Ritzins,
of Stockholm, from his observations in Sweden are
these: The protection afforded by vaccination, from
the close of the second year of life, against the con-
tagion of the variolous poison, usually lasts unim-
paired to the end of the thirteenth year or so after
this period 1t begins to lose its effect, and gradually
becomes more and more uncertain to the twentieth
or twenty-hrst year of life. For the next four or FIVE
years, the disposition to the small pox seems almost
to have recovered its original integrity and this
state OF liability continues unimpaired up to the age
OF forty years or So At about this epoch of life it
begins to approach nearer and nearer to the limit Of
existence-which it reaches, in the majority of cases,
about the hftIeth year-the period when the general
revolution Of the human body commences to take
place."

Notwithstanding a press of sail, 1t was difficult to get
clear out of the northern cape, towards which the cur
rant ran, through its direction was eastward in con-
sequence of the tide being at food" These eddies
and currents caused him sto believe that the place is
in the mouth of some great river or of some passage
to another sea-" Notwithstanding the great differ
ence between the position of this bay and that men,
toned by De Fuca," he ''had little difficulty in con-
GLIDING they might be the same.' He found it diff
cult on the following morning to enter, and continued
his voyage towards the South. This idea does not
appear to us to be a discovery Of the river, or what
was equivalent to il.
The other remarkable places on the coast are the
Strait Of Fuca, and Nootka Sound. The former was
discovered by De Fuca, a Greek pilot, in the service
of Spain, in 1892; the latter by Perez, also in the
Spanish service, in TIA.
The first visits to this country, overland, were
made, one by Mckenzie, IN the English service, from
Canada, crossing the Rocky mountains TO the north Of
the head waters of the Columbia. in 1893, and pass
ing to the sea in the parallel of 52i, the other by
Lewis and Clark, in the American service; who ira
versed the greater part of the Oregon in 1895, and
explored the river from its source to its mouth. So
far, then, as the right of discovery is concerned, it
should seem very clear that the Spanish government
had the title to the coasts and the country about Fu-
cas- straits, and that the American government had
the same title to the interior washed by the river Or
egon and its tributaries. :.
As to occupancy After the American war a con-
siderable trade in fur sprung UP on the northwest
coast-vessels going there to take in cargoes for the
China market. This trade provoked the jealousy OF
the Spanish government, which all the while claimed
the dominion of the coast, so that, in ITS, the vice.
roy of Mexico sent two vessels-the Princesa and the
San Carlos-to inquire particularly respecting the
establishment at Prince Williams sound and
