A Sign of the Times.

Last Thursdays Times said that owing to
the press of matter in its columns, it was COM
PEELED to postpone reply to our article
showing up its unfairness in relation to Gen.
Scott and Foreigners. We charged it had
attempted to deceive the Germans and other
foreigners of Evansville, by grossly missta-
ting Gen. SCOTS position towards foreigners,
and making him responsible for sentiments
which he had never seen before, and which
were utterly irresponsible in their nature,
without date, and disgraceful to the authors.
We copied SCOTS letter upon which these
charges were handicapped the very senti-
ments it was urged, that though given to the
world eleven years ago and which he has
since changed, should condemn him. After
thus showing a disposition to deal justly in
the whole matter, we published letter from
Scott of later date, and an extract from a
speech and an extract from his letter of ac-
ceptance, which placed Gen. Scott in his
true .position-a position as friendly to for
eigners as they themselves could ask. We
requested the Times, as we had published the
document it found so very Objectionable and
which it had printed for the purpose of injur-
ing Scott-to re-publish these ether doou-
ments which need not have pressed much
upon its space, yet which were indispensable
to rendering justice to Scott.
If the Times had been searching for
justice, it would have complied with our re-
quest. But what was the answer! First
press of other matter, prevented notice of
the Journals leader ofsuch morning, leaving
the impression with us and its readers general
ly,that in its the extissue, the postponedreply
to our article would appear. But in Saturdays
Times We find the following:
sour neighbor of the Journal again calls
upon us this morning to republish certain
writings and sayings of General Scott, sub
sequent to 1S4i, with reference to the natu-
raIzation laws. Our neighbor need not be
uneasy. During the canvass we shall prob
ably comply with his wishes, to his full salts
faction, half dozen times over.''
This is his answer to our request, and this
is his notice of our leader which "press of
other matter'' prevented him publishing
before. Now it is not probable in .the
least degree that the Times will republish
those extracts during the campaign. He will
never find greater necessity for publishing
them than now. We do not want to hear
what he intends doing. Judging now from
what he fails to do, we have not much to ex-
pect from his justice hereafter. We have en-
tered into the campaign, and we are not
afraid to publish any thing now which we may
likely be called upon to publish during the
season-nor will we "pleed press of other
matter for declining" to reply to anything the
editor of the Times may choose to issue as
leader.

Poor IRELAND THE Galway papers are
full ofthe most depldrable accounts of whole
sale evictions in that miserable county. The
Law Life Assurance Company having ad-
vanced about 81 100000 on the Martin es-
tates has now become the PURCHASER under
the Encountered Estates Act and the ''Crow-
bar Brigade" undsr the protection of this
rich London company, is invading the
quiet retreats of Connemara, and robbing a
primitive peasantry of its last hold on the
earth. This Brigade advance ito 'the devot-
ed townships, take possession of the cabins,
and in a few minutes level them to the ground
and drive out the unhappy inmates. Whole
villages are thus destroyed and rendered de-
ISOLATE in day, and hundreds of men, women
and children who have been turned out of
house and home are crowding in bitches, or
wandering upon the roads begging their
bread
Alas! poor down trodden Erin. when will
the day of thy deliverance from the bond
man and opprcssor arrive,

MURDER.-A young gentleman by the
name of Williamson, who lived few miles
above Henderson on the Ia. side was murder
ed on Saturday afternoon last, and thrown in
the river near his residence. His shoulder
was badly. broken, evidently by blow from a
heavy bludgeon; his head was badly bruised.
Our informant, DIR. Hatchitt, is of opinion that
the wounds of themselves were not sufficient
to produce death-and thinks it probable
that Mr.. w. was stunned by the blows in
ficted and then thrown into the river. A
skiff containing three men was seen in the
vicinity at the time, which has been pursued.
Mr.. w. was gentleman highly respect
ed in his neighborhood, and by all who knew
him.

HrTherc was one important difference

6TTherc was one important difference
between the two National conventions at
Baltimore. The Democratic convention,
although vehemently urged by the ablest OF
its own members to make a platform before
making a candidate, refused to do SO, but the
Wing convention first erected platform
and then nominated candidate. The Demo-
Gratis selected their candidate and then fit
ted him with platform, but the Wings made
platform and then fitted it with a candi-
date.

CTMr Razor, the Lightning Rod man, was
robbed night before last of$3S in manner
that shows we have some bold operators in
town. His bedroom was entered where
himself and wife were sleeping, and his
pantaloons containing the above amount
taken into the yard, where they were found
minus the money next morning. The wallet
contained one $40 bill on the State bank
Missouri, one S. State bank Indiana, one
SIS State bank Ohio, the balance in small
bills and silver. There has been already
been property enough stolen within few
weeks to support night watch a whole
year.

line Evansville journal mas managed 10
reproduce the article which appeared in the
Tribune of this city, about the pay of the
woodchoppers, doorkeepers, clerks, &c. of the
last Legislature. This is appropriate. San
ders being mere pigmy, both physically and
intellectually, this business of overhauling
the accounts of the poor Irishmen and little
boys who earned few dollars by saving
wood and carrying water is just suited to his
calibre.-[M A. Ledger.
Pigmy, or not, we appear to worry the edi-
tors of the Ledger nearly as much as friend
Gregg does, whose lashings we are told have
worn little Norman's flesh to the bone. But
let's drop the personal, and see what exceed
ingly lilliputian matter this is, SO admirably
adapted to no proportions. Possibly we can
prove our corporocity quite a large one, by
showing that this very appropriate matter is
one of much greater Importance than the
Ledger man would have his feliow-citizens
believe. The Tribune's article was intend
ed to show the extravaganza of the late Dem
ocratic Legislature-to prove that it was
twice over the most expensive legislature
which ever sat in Indiana-that it squander-
ed large sums on useless officers which Wing
Legislatures had never been so extravagant
as to employ. The Ledgeris terribly indignant
that Wing editor should thus undertake to
overhaul the accounts of Democratic Legis-
lature, and insinuates it is small matter to
be investigating the wages of "poor Irish
men and little boys" Well, if we were
rabied Locofoco editor, which principles even
less than our body, like little Norman, and
honesty less than our principles, we should
doubtless labor just as hard to make the people
believe it Gerry small matter, and totally
unworthy their attention
The article we copied, gave the expenses
of Wing Legislature in 1912, and the ex-
penses of a Democratic Legislature just ten
years thereafter. 1t certainly illustrates the
progressive principles of the Democracy -
The expenses of the Wing Legislature for
officers and employees of every description,
just $3,307. The expenses of the Demo-
cratic Legislature were for the same service,
$27, Matchmaking a difference of $4,000,
just about $4,000 in favor of Wing econo-
my! This is what the Ledger calls a very
small matter, and overhauling the accounts
of poor men and little boys! Well, this may
be very small matter to Mr.. Norman and
are not many citizens of Indiana who will
not think $4,000 quite a respectable pile of
money. What is more singular, not one Of
these Locofoco editors attempts to excuse
this extravaganza, because he can't do it
but is content with sneering at it as some
thing unworthy of attention. The people
will think differently. They are taxed high
just to support such extravaganza, and they
will not regard such an item as this trivial
matter.

Watch the sSaScals.

certain gentleman in Lamasco City,
whom we supposed above any such petty con-
duct, has been lately telling the Germans of
that vicinity, that Gen. Scott was against
permitting any foreigner to become an Amer
lean citizen unless he served in the army or
navy of the United States two years. He
has taken copies of the Journal containing
SCOTS letter of acceptance, in which Scott
suggests that any foreigner who has served
one year in our army and navy during time
of war, should be entitled to all the benefits
and privileges of an American citizen-and
shown this to Germans, translating it to mean
that foreigners must serve that long or two
years in the army or navy to become cit-
zen. If any German whom he has thus de-
ceived, can vote for him or with his party af-
ter discovering this petty and dishonest
trick, we would take him to be better fitted
for the subject of despot, than citizen of a
f. ee country. We bid our German friends
watch these fellows. They will deceive you
if they can, and their attempts are an insult
to your intelligence.

@The New Albany Ledger reoublishes

0The New Albany Ledger republishes
communication which originally appeared
in the National Intelligencer, and which
Bennett, of the N. York Herald, says was
written by Scott. The letter we have not
read. Any man who knows Bennett, would
not expect to read the letter as one eminat-
ing from Scott, if B. s word alone is TO be re-
lied upon for its authenticity. Bennett is a
Locofoco, and always has been one. He is a
bitter enemy to Scott, as he is to every man
who has risen to eminence from his own un-
aided exertions. Why did he not bring
proof ofthe letters authenticity with the let
ter itself! Did he for moment suppose any
one would take it upon isword! That were
not to know a man who has made himself
notorious the country over, for the very OPP
posite of what most men regard as honorable.

TThe editor of the Southern Illinoisan
a dirty little Locofoco paper'at Shawneetown,
has an article in his last paper headed with
the picture of donkey to represent us. If
nature had made halfso great an ass of us as
she did of old Edwards, of the Illinoisan, we
would have stood in no need of a picture to
point us out to the community a very great
donkey-we should, like him, have written
,urself an ass every day of cur life.

DEMOCRATIC Towns.
Wing .TowSs,

FRANKLIN PIERCE, lives in the county Of
Merrimac, and thatcounty gave 1892 majority
against abolishing the test, and the town of
Concord where this same FRANKLIN PIERCE
resides, and exerts such an influence over the
opinions of his ne ghbors, gave IA majority
against abolishing the test. The heaviest
majorities in favor of abolishing this law ,have
been given in Wing towns, aud they have
been correspondingly large against it in the
strong Democratic towns. 1t must therefore
be regarded as a Democratic provision, and
it is kept there by them in spite of all the
efforts made to repeal it. The Boston Times
a Loco Foco paper, and one that advocates
the election OF General Pierce, says
"One thing ourNew-Hampshire friends are
bound to do, and that is, to take early meas
ures to abolish the test We tell them, plain
ly, that its existence is a disgrace to them.''
Either Gen. Pierce has not the popularity
and personal influence that are ascribed to
him, or else he is indifferent to the civil
rights of the Catholics in New Hampshire
for this intensely Democratic State has re-
peatedly refused to abolish the religious test
by large majorities, wher Fifteen Wing
towns gave 1888 majority in favor of its re-
peal. Fifteen Democratic towns gave 1926
majority against it, thus proving conclusively
that the wings have always voted and are
strongly in favor of this clause being stricken
out of the constitution of the State New
Hampshirel Whe think the Democrats
would be wise to say as little of all this as
possible. They lose caste and character by
the investigaton.-]N. Y. Express

THE METHODIST CHURCH.

A strong effort is making TO introduce the
Democratic element into the organization OF
this body of Christians. A Convention was
| held in Philadelphia on the Sd inst, which
chose Prof. w. II. Allen, Of Girard College,

"The President, on taking his seat, thanked the
| Convention for the honor conferred on him and
said his heart was in this movement They had
| Inet not TO produce dissenson or disturb the
church, but TO promote its good 1t was well
known that the latyhave no voice in her counsels,
and it was full time that this barrier to the
church's progress should be removed.
John Whteman, oflhe committee on resolu-
lions, submitted a preamble and resolutions
which were adopted, to the affect tina, the Con-
Veniion, in its deliberate judgment, considers that
'ne constitution OF the church ought 10 be so
amended as TO admit lay delegates in the general
ana annual conferences under such restrictions
as not to conflict with the rights of the Clergy in
their appropriate duties, but the Convection here
by. petitions the General Conference TO give the
subject serious attention, and TO so modify the
discipline of the church as to secure to The laity
voice in her councils
"The resolutions also suggest that every cir
cult be allowed, annually, at the last quarterly
conference, to elect one lay delegate for every
effective minister in full connection whom such
circuits support Such delegates, by notice OF
their office, are members OF the annual confer
| ences, and to meet the clergy at such times as
they may appoint To elect dt legates, clerical and
lay, to the general conferences
"The expenses of all delegates are 10 be paid
as at present, 30 that the poorest members OF the
church may have an equal chance to be heard
