AnspIcIous 0mens.

The magnificence of the recent re-
ceptlons given Governor MORTON by
the citizens of indianapolis. and
Speaker .CoLFAx by his old friends
and n~eighbors at South Bend, are
most suspicious omens for a Republi-
can triumph this Fall. Indianapolis
V blazed with a finer torchIight
procession or had her streets throneed
with more enthusiastic crowds Of peo-
pie than greeted Senator MORTON on
Wednesday night. At South Bend
Mr.. CoLFAX received one of the most
touching and enthusiastic ovations on
Thursday ever accorded a public man
In this country. Twenty-seven cars
from Chicago, densely packed
with people, including delegations
of the Tanners organizations in
uniform, escorted him from that city
to South Bend and participated
in the meeting at the latter city.
Mr.. COLFAX responded to the address
of welcome in a speech over an hour
in length. With becoming grace and
modesty he refrained from discussing
any of the political questions involved
in the canvass, combining his attention
solely to a review of the past, and re-
turning expressions of gratitude to
the people who had always honored
him with their affection and approval.
His illusions brought tears to many
eyes and still more endeared the
speaker to the hearts of his hearers.

The JOURNAL, while worming out
of an unpleasant dilemma becomes
strangely contemptuous of facts. 1t
saws. for example, that the Courier
charged $39 for the insertion Of 3
squares six weeks. Had this state
ment emanated from a different
source, we should simply pronounce
it false. As it proceeds from the
JOURNAL, it is merely necessary to
remark that it is not Courier.
The following is the precise Ian
guage Of the Journal on this point:
BY reference to a similar adver-
tisement in the bill recently rendered
blythe Courier Office, we observe that
for three squares sac a0eehs, 1T charged
THIRTY DOLLARS, just fifty per cent.
more than was charged for the same
number of squares and the same
length of time by the JOURNAL, and
afterwards the Council, with a
shrewdness that promises the most
wholesome economical reforms, al
lowed it THIRTY-NINE DOLLARS Tor
the same advertisement.
By reference to Bill No. 1" which
appears this morning in another ar
ticle, it will be seen that in item No.
4, the Courier charged $50 90 for a
3 square advertisement 6 weeks. In
bill No. 2, which was allowed by the
Council--after striking out 10 per
cent. for depreciation in city orders
the same advertisement is charged
$40 90. IF this dpes not substantiate
| the statement made by the JOURNAL
to the letter, and saddle the falsehood
upon the Courier, evidence amounts
to nothing in a controversy.
