Outragcs ON the President.

1NDIASiPoLIs, September 9.-Thc follow
ing disgraceful scenes occurred here:
The President was received with few
groans, "huzzas for Johnson" and cries
for Gen. Grant. and some rude remarks
He commenced by saying: Fcllow-citizcns,
(cries for Grant, it is not my intention
[cries Of stop. and Go on, j TO make a
long speech. lfyou give me your attention
for Ave minutes. [Cries OF go on"
'Stop, mo, nO-we want nothing to do
with traitors, ".'Grant. Grant, Johnson"
and groans.l lshouid like to say to this
crowd tonight (cries of 'Shut up-wc
don't want to hear from you," ''Johnson," ="
Grant" Johnson" Grant" '.Grant."
The President paused few moments
and then returned to the balcony.
Hon. David Nlgore went to the portico,
to try his powers Of persuasion, and keep
order. He said: For one moment hear
lcries for order and Groans. Let me ap-
peal to you, citizens Of Indianapolis and
OF flndiana-tthe confusion still continued I
Let me appeal to you aSain-(but the
crowd was unrclcnting, and would not be
quiet
The gentlemen then retired from the
portico, and the excursionists went to their
dinner.
The disturbers in the crowd continu ed
TO groan and make other disturbing noises
Several disturbances occurred with lament
able results. Pistol shots were fired, b.
and another in the knee.
According to tho bcstinformation attain
able, marshal, on horseback, was seen
riding along the line OF the torch light pro
cession, and evidently giving directions, as
the. men soon thcrearcr stretched out
their ranks. Persons were then observed
knocking down with clubs several Of The

One OF the transparencies bore the iu-
scription, Johnson Welcome the Presi-

thrown down, and shot fred at him. a

were fired in quick succession. The result

IN. Strife OF rnr.s Cities.

"A long m6oted question in musical
circles has recently been permanently
settled to the great satisfaction Of
lovers Of justice generally, and espe-
cially. to Il he delight OF So. ..herners,
who havc watched the long struggle
with intense Interest. Boston, New
York and Baltimore have been the
contending parties in this prolonged
d!spnte, which was boldly inaugu-
rated by Messrs. Vim. Knnbe g. Co.,
OF Baltimore, to determine whether
the 'huh" or the metropolis Of the
Monumental City could tnrn ont the
best american piano. The great
commercial town Of Maryland can
claim to lead. And this decision has
not resulted from any one stated trial,
but from Il series OF thorough COM
parativc tests in New York, Chicago
and other important business centres
OF the country. In every instance,
parties opposed to the .sKnnbe
piano have been fairly beaten be-
fore an honest committee. or have
refused utterly to meet the Issue and
backed down III the face OF imminent
defeat. This must settle the issue as
fully as If q national convention had
decided it, andiut the future the South
can boast Of manufacturing tho best
piano OF the country. knabc & Co.
have been making these superb in
stTEinents for thirty years, and their
fame IS nothing new; but other piano
concerns have sprung into existence
meanwhile, claiming to beat the old
house Mt its own trade, and IL contest
with them was inevitable. Hence the
various trials as above.
People will have their prciudices in
favor of one or another maker, and
mE5. be humored in them: but an
article SO long tried as this-one that
has 50 often proved superior and
freely accorded this palm by the best
judges Of Europe and America. has
certainly more than ordinary claims
| upon q purchasers attention. Sub

at, delightful to listen to, keeping in

only p '1lnabc" can. we cannot but
commend the universal verdict in
their favor. The great Southern
house is again being extended to meet
TIE wants OF its immense and con-
stantiE Increasing business. and this
triumphant success, overlapping a
quarter OF Il century, is, after all, the
true ana inlisputable test of worth.

Missouri Politics.

The canvas in Missouri is an inter
cstinS and very excited one. The
conservatives are determined to main
tain their rights at the polls, whilst
the Governor of the State and his
m!nions in the several Counties seem
to be as fully determined: that the
elections shall be carried by the radi
Gals at whatever cost. No other State
in: the Union is in so dcplorable q
condition rs Missouri With q large
population sympathizing with the
doctrines OF the conservative party,
she has, nevertheless, 50 infamous
and unjust IL registration law, that it
is possible, not to say probable, that

the President, and asked him to in
ternose Ill their behalf in case Cover
nor Fletcher should attempt to keep
them down by stationing the militia
IN the Counties and cities in which
the prescribed voters live. The Pre-
sident did not, at the time, make any
very satisfactory promises III this re-
gard, but it is now stated by the
Washington correspondent OF the
Philadelphia Let(ye.', that Gen. Han

to SEQ that the conservative voters
there have full protection in the excr-
else of the right of suffrage. The Go

protect the conservative voters, they
will probably take the matter into

The New Cable.

On Saturday afternoon last, was
consummated one of the grandest
achievements of this century, memo
rahle as it is for its political chang scs.
It's industrial progress and its ecienti-
fic discovery. a second Of those
wonderful links which are to bind
evermore the two continents i'm inlis

ocean ana he flight Of time, bringing

With the qulckncss almost of tho light

but not in fact, for part of it had laid
for months in the depths of the sea.
We all remember how, Il year or more
ago, we were panied by the news of
the failure of the Great Eastern to law
the cable; how the sanguine friends
OF the enterprise grew silent. while
the croakers chuckled over the full
fillment of their forebodings. Down
deep in the depths of the ocean the
end of the cable was lost, never. it
was believed by many, to be recover
ca; and when the expedition sailed
this season with q new one on board,
few expected for it any other fate.
The world was electrified when the
fact was established that along the
thin pathway, contrivcd by human
art, the thoughts of men were flash
ing from continent to continent; and
though day after day we got news
from the other side Of riots and of
revolutions, Of the overthrow of en-
pires and the flight of princes. We
could hardly believe that the wonder
was real or that it would last. The
world laughed a derisive smile ut tho
idea of rescuing the old cable from
the almost fathomless bed. of the sea,
and splicing it with na@ addition
that would connect the continents.
But enterprise and science have over
come all obstacles. The erappli,g e
irons, guided by human skill, have
wrought a seeming miracle. The
ocean has yielded its prey, over which
its terrific storms have swept in vain.
The old cable has been recovered,
and the fact announced forthwith to
Europe and then to America. The
splice was made on board the Grca.
Eastern. and which proudly bent its
way to the Western coast OF New
foundland, and thus another impe-
rishable bond is added to that great
network Of communication and OF
sympathy which is binding the whole
human race together in one common
erhood.-NlaionM LHeNigenrey'.
