omysteries OF Observation-Disclosures,

An article appeared in the last Sentinel under the
above caption, calculated to do great injustice the
character Of our city. 1t must have been written
der the excitement of the moment and without due
reflection The facts, they really existed, did not
warrant the inference made by the editors of that pa
per- Sundry thefts had been committed, and the sto-
len property found secreed under the State House.
Surely that does not justify scofng at the moral and
religious character of the whole community Why
Is II said that indianapolis externally Is moral and
religious" and obtrusve in its professions of supe-
rior sanctty and virtue,"-and It's citizens taunted
with the declaration that ''the moral influence of
dozen churches is not sufficient to check the vicious
propensities of its population ~
Whilst regret that there should be offences of
the character alluded to committed in our city, we
venture the assertion that they are not of more fire.
quent occurrence than in other places of the same
number of inhabitants. The editors of the Sentinel,
upon reflection, cannot fail seeing the improperly
not to say the nustice-of their article, and will,
persuaded, ''take back the exceptionabe por-
ton of it.-JoUrnal, july 10.
The Journal has already seen by our Semi Weekly
of the same date the 16th that we shall not take any
thing back. That article by the way anticipated, in
manner, most of the objections made by the Jour-
nal. But perhaps it is but right to say in addition,
that we think fully appreciate the motives and de-
signs which actuated this paragraph in the Journal.
The community here cannot fail see in it remark
able coincidence to the adopted by previous
editor Of the Journal, the commencement of whose
career marked by an extreme solicitude for the
religious reputation of this town. but who at the
time could be guilty of forging order for butter,
and many other viler acts, which finally resulted in
his compusive and disgraceful retirement not only
from the tripod, but from the town. Yes Indiana
polls, bad may be, could longer tolerate that
conservator' of its piety and morals. And we ven
ture to predict, that similar predcgS of the present
editor of the Journal will result In nothing better than
those of the former one, though have doubt his
practices will be rather accordant with honesty
and decency. Either the Journal Intentionally misn-
terprets our article, or has not sense enough to I'M
derstand and appreciate it, and the object it de-
signed TO accomplish In either case it is not worth
while to expend much space ON it. We can af-
ford TO leave the matter 10 the good of the pub
lie. That is much more efficient and agreeable way
of settling the matter than either demonstrating dis
honest hypocrisy, attempting the hopeless task of
finding brains in receptacle where nature never put
any.

o1-Mr McG.nslee. ne iVbiS candidate far Con

0crMr McGaughes; the Whig candidate for Con-
gress in the 18th district, Indiana, has been
tending, heretofore, that slave State ought to be
ifths rule of representation. He would admit Slave
States without this rule. Recently an Abolition
venton was held in his district to nominate candi
date for Congress McGaughey thought, that would
not do he changed his opinion and ayowed it
said he would vote to adH5t Slave State into the
Union at all-no way it could be fixed. The Adolf
toniss having found this out, declined nominate
candidate at all, determining to support McGaughey
So if Mr. Thomasson should be so unlucky as to get
to Congress- with his views these matters, he will
find his friend McGaughey after him with sharp
stick. 1t Won't do te.elect them, both, Wings bet
ter leave both at home. They will make trouble

Never Told it.

The Legislature of Indiana, last winter, one House
Wing and the other Loco, extended the privilege of
issuing 81 bills to the State Bank Of Indiana, for the
period of three years more. The grant was no
party NATTER and voted for by the locofoco netn-
bers, believe without the slightest repugnance
objection. In this they acted sensbly enough. But
the Locofoco papers in Ohio, which have varied 50
6ercely against the issue of dollar bills, when they
thought any thing could be made by it in political
way, if they have heard of the votes given by
their brethren in Indiana take very good care never
to tell of it.
1t is entirely orthodox in Indiana for Locofocos to
vote for the issue of 81 bills bat in Ohio, it is at
some particular times against Democracy to do the
same thing.-Ddyton Journal
We copy the above from the Ohio State Journal.
Every body here, of course, knows that there Is not
word Of truth in it. But il is by such kind of hum
bug and falsehood this, that the duPes of whig-
gerry kept in the harness of political rogues and
swindlers.

YANKEE Ice IN THE EAST INDIEs.-The Hong Kong
Register copies long article from the Bengal Hur-
karu on the subject Of the ice trade. The quantity
shipped from Boston last year is said to have been
900 TONS delivered board at average cost of
50 50 per on while the product of sales is put down
at 50 $751; 900. Mr.. Wyeth at Calcutta has erected
noble building for the storage of ice it has triple
wall 40 feet HIGH l6 feet wide, and l95 feet long,
enclosing than three quarters of an acre, and
capable of holding $4,000 tons of ice. The walls are
of brick and measures from the outside of tue extern
to the inside of the interior wall, four feet with
hues or air spaces between. The whole is covered
by five roofs, also with Dir spaces between.
The Register calls loudly for the establishment OF
an ce-house at Hong Kong, and reoices in the knowl
edge that good supply has been ordered from Bos-
ton The commodity appears to be plentiful al

the facts stated in the first part of the above extract
At least two very important truths are made manifest
The one that an apparent balance of trade " II
sometimes nothing more than the real profits; ths
other, that commerce actually creates, well as ex
changes wealth. The $1,000 tons Of ice, cost a

$3,575, 600; being gross profit of $3,434,75O Ii
the tables of exports and imports these items wou
appear thus: exports, $40, $50; imports, 1915,

Tariff economists would affirm this to be ruinou
business to the country whereas the country ha
gained that much profit, and the men engaged in tn
business make an additional profit equal to the dii
ference Of the price of the goods in East India and
