The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1868-11-19

THERE has not been a day since Douglas
was defeated in the presidential election,
When the democratic party was so strong,
defiant and hopeful as it is to-day Until
the present, there has not been an elec-
ton since 1856 when the republicans have
not proclaimed that the democratic party
was dead. No such proclamation is made
now. Now they are pleased to acknowl.
edge that it is strong, vigorous, agrees
i've body, with we'll ordered ranks and able
leaders. The defeats it has sustained year
after year have not diminished its courage
or confidence in victory in the next deci-
sive battle TIE presidential election
proved that the democratic party is rapidly
gaining, and the ruling party, not rapidly,
but surely and gradually, losing strength
when relatively compared with its oppo-
nent.
The democracy have reached their
present proud position against all the
power and patronage Of the government,
multiplied and increased until it reached
five hundred millions of dollars yearly in
time of peace, and controlled and distrib-
uted by the most reckless and corrupt
politicians who have ever in this country
made Office holding the synonym of vii
lainy. The moderate and careful tone in
which the press of the ruling party speaks
to-day is virtual confession that it only
hopes to retain power, and contest success
fully the next battle with the democracy.
by the exercise of a craftsmanship which
has not yet appeared in its ranks.

TUE ECCLESIASTICAL CoURT.-The
Lafayette Journal, in referring to the
assembling of an ecclesiastical court in
that city for the trial of Rev. L. w. Russ,
of the Episcopal church, remarks:
The motion made by the Rev. L. W.
Russ before the ecclesiastical court in this
city ON Wednesday, was not motion to
quash the prescntment. The instrument
itself was not reached. The motion
unanimously sustained by the court was ga
motion in objection to the jurisdiction OF
the court" The indictment was not
found defective. 1t was not reached.
The court did not adjourn; twas dissolved.
The court will not reassembIe. The
proceedings cannot go under this court
So far as it is concerned the case is ended
A new case may Of course be made up and
new court constituted The presbyters
constituting the court were the Rev. David
Pise, d. D.. of New Albany; the Rev
Charles B. Davidson, d. d., Of
Indianapolis and the Rev. William Lusk
Jr., of plymouth. The court was ably
constituted, and the unanimous decision wa:
an obviously just one. The prosecution
was the Rev Horace Stringfellov, Jr., o.
Indian apolis The clerk was the Rev
Isaac A. Hagar, of Charlottesville. The
ruling ends this case.

WENDELL PHILLIPS OV THE
.SITI 4TTOO

The Int Sare7y Standard has an ed.
itorial article from the pen of Wendell
Phillips, in which he delivers a warning
lecture to the president elect. Wendell
successfully applied the watering process
to the late lamented, by which the OBJ
strepercus proclivities Of that santed in.
dividual were rendered nugatory, and
which Insured swift compliance with the
demands of all the black and white mig
gers in the country. The indications now
are that the son of jesse will soon be
made to feel the potent infences arising
from LIBERAL application of the contents
of Phillips pot; and if his early habit of
taking things straight does not desert
him, we may expect lively times in the
camp of tie saints at Washington. Wen
.iell has furnished brains for the republican
party too long to be snubbed by I" a man
.sho cannot stand up before glass without
falling down." He is but little in advance
Of the main body Of the party Of great
moral ideas, and if he fails to lead that
party to his present position, and to any
'uTther aggressions of radcalism which he
nay invent. it will be the first time that
allure has attended his efforts in that di-
lection.
The course pursued by Grant since his
lection, in refusing to make speeches, or
pave speeches made to him, or to be made
he recipient of ovations from anxious as.
}irants 70. Office under the new adninis-
ration, and loyal blatherskites generally
nd promiscuously is sufficient cause for
he most serious alarm on the part of Wen
lell and other radical leaders, who
ever before heard of genuine radical
candidate or oliceholder refusing an ova-
ion, or being made the recipient Of full
ONE hattery from glib-tongued syco-
3hants Grants refusal to be enveloped

'ause of alarm on the part of those who
Expect to run his administration. This
efusal IS viewed by them with ominous
orebodings of coming evil. Let all such
evils come sOop.

DISPATCHES from New York, yester-
day, state that Gen. Grant has written a
letter to Gen Slocum, democrat, congratu-
ating him on his election to congress, and
'intimating that there will not probably be
anything in the next administration which
a moderate democrat may not support. At
the same time, the impression is gaining
strength here that Gen. Grant will select
his cabinet from moderate radicals, hoping
by this means to make conservative pol
icy acceptable to the republican party.

THE valne Of few moments of time
was clearly illustrated in Green township,
in this county, at the recent election. A
young man, republican, presented HIM
self at the polls to vote. and was chal-
leDged on the ground that he was not Of
lawful age a twin brother of the young
mans was present, and stated that he did
claim to be old enough to vote, and that
according to the best Of his recollection
his brother was pot. The 0n-vOting twin
was democrat The elder twin voted
and Grant had one majority in the town
ship. a very important question for the
consideration of scientific men, is here
presented: Does the adoption of " great
moral IDEAS" the whisperings of the
Infinite" or the possession of the divine
afiatus," superinduce an earlier matury
than falls to the lot of less-fayored NOR
tails :? 1t would seem so.

AUTO-DlDAcTIC SYSTEM.

This system is know to but one other in Amer
lea besides the president ; it is practical and elc-
CANT and truly astonishing in its onciseness and
simplicity, being as much superior to the double
entry system as the latter Is to single entry. II
is taught for the present, however. only in addi-
ton to the double entry system.
In establishing the Merchants Ma tonal Bust
ness College, in Chicago, the commercial me-
tropolis of the great tlwest, by combining the
ability and wide experience of its well known
president, with efficient corps of professors it
has been the aim to organize an institution, the
chief distinguishing feature of which consists in
its being conducted bv practical business men.
As proof of tie consummate skill in financial
matters of Mr.. Dyhrenfurth, we may refer to the
present SYSTEM OF BANKING in vogue in Chicago
and throughout the west, which owes it's orr gin to
him ; and as evidence of his ability as an account
ant, we need only mention the well known system
of business arithmetic invented by him and i'm
parted to students with the greatest case. By it
calculations are made with truly startling rapid
y. In fact Mr.. Dyhrenfurth is the Lightning
Calculator" of the age.

ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.-A
BODY SHOWING MARKS OF VIOLENCE
FOUND IN TIE RIvER-Y esterday
forenoon, three brothers, s. B., r. c.,
and w II. Corbalcy. while walking along
the river bank in the vicinity of White
River bridge, were called to by some boys
playing near a fallen elm tree that lies
about one hundred and fifty feet above the
bridge, near the tail race Of Geisendorff S
mill, who represented that there was
something lodged in the top of the tree
lying in the river, that looked like man.
They at frs. gave no heed to the call,
but afterwards went down, and found that
there was the body Of man floating in
the river and held by the branches of the
tree. The Coroner was called, the body
taken out, and brought to the undertaken rs
establishment of Mr.. Weaver. The jury
consists Of the following persons:
NJ. i. johnson, John S. Bray, K. B.
Barbee, S. b. Corbaley, Elijah Hedges
and Eli Thompson.
A large number of persons have visited
the body since it was taken to MIR. Weaver's
rooms, but none have been able to identify
it. 1t is difficult to say with any accuracy
from the appearance of the corpse, how
long it has probably been in the water, the
time required to produce marked changes
