DECIDEDLY S.NiLL.

Of all the contemplate little things
the Republican has been guilty of dur
ing the past month, its local relative to
the Festival, for which we printed the
bills few days ago, discounts its form
efforts. The statement, to begin with.
that many gratuitous notices appeared
in the Republican in aid of the denomi-
nation for whose benefit the festival was
held, and that none appeared in the
DEMOCRAT, is simply unqualifiedly
false, and was Known to be so by its au-
thor when uttered. The DEMOCRAT
published all notices furnished eratui-
tously; and the very same, We think,
that were furnished to the RcpuJIcon
Office, and did it, too, without the
thought of some day making our money
back by job that would pay. We
are not surprised that this motive ac-
tuated the Republican, but We are sur
prised at the lack of sense and decency
which makes it public.
Last year after series Of gratuitous
notices were published in both papers,
for the same church, fair or festival
was held, and some pay rork was to be
done, and the job was taken to the Re
publican office. The DEMOCRAT made
no complaint; the job could not be
printed in both offices and the choice of
the Republican office was satisfactory
to us. We had not printed grotmtous
notices expecting to be paid for them
in job work.
We advise our ncighbor to go and
get back the coat, and sell the hat he
wishes to dispose of, and "put money
in his pocket even if he must do SO
by disreputable means.

VINO SKILL BE OUR NEXT C4NDI
DATE FOR GOTEREOP?

Mr. EDIToR-Already l have no.
ticed that several Democratic journals
of this State haze been casting about
for a suitable candidate for Governor.
While 1 would not in the least de.
tract from the worth of the eminent
men mentioned in connection with that
position, / am certain that / shall dc
the Democracy Of Indiana no harm
when mention the name of THOS. H.
COBB, of Vincennes, as suitable can
didatc for The highest Office in their gift
Mr.. COBB is not unknown to the
people of Indiana; but where he is best
known he is most admired, not only for
his eminent ability, but for his unblem-
ishcd private character and genial ma
ture
His long service in the Senate of
Indiana has stamped him as one of the
best legislators of the country, while his
faithful devotion to principle, and the
interests of the people, are an earnest
that the executive interests Of Indiana
could not be entrusted to safer hands.
AS public dcbater he is ole Of the
most forcible and eloquent speakers in
the State, and as an Elector on the
Presidential ticket for the last two or
three campaigns he has done hcrculcan
service for the Democracy.
Pleasing in address, accessible, genial
in nature, and gentlcmanly in deport-
ment, he is eminently one of the poo
pie, and one to command their respect
and confidence.
Mr.. COBB stands prominently to-
day one of the foremost statesmen of
this, in point of statesmen, foremost
State of the Union.
The writer is not aware that MIR.
COBB could be induced to give up a
large and lucrative law practice, to
which he is devotedly attached, to ac-
cept this or any other position the Dc
mocracy might call upon him to ill, but
certain he is, that the chief standard of
the party could not be entrusted to ADLER
or worthicr hands.

D4ST.1RDLY OUTRAGE.

One of the most dastardly and hcinous
outrages that ever disgraced the annals
of civilization was perpetrated in New
Salem, this county, last Friday, week.
1t appears that Mr.. James Moore, a
very quiet and pe,eeable citizen Of that
place, repaired to his stable i'll the even
ing for the purpcse of feeding his horses.
Not returning that night, the family
living on the premises (Mr. Moore is
not married) became somewhat uneasy,
but thinking probably he had come 10
Rushville, let the matter pass. His alb
sence the next day, however, intensified
their uneasincss to such an extent that
in the evening a search was instituted.
when the unfortunate man was found in
the stable loft with his eyes almost 1ter-
ally torn out and his head and face 9TH
erwise horribly mutilated. When dis
covered. he was in an inscnsiblc condit-
ion, and up to this time has been unable
to relate how his misfortune occurred.
1t is supposed that some enemy, too
cowardly to meet him like man, upon
equal footing, secured himself in the
stable loft, and when Mr. Moore came
up after hay, dealt him blow with a
club-knocking him scnsclcss-then
committing the heathenish crime above
related. At last accounts he was lying
in a very critical condition. We learn
that suspicion rests upon an individual
residing in New Salem. 1t is tobe hop
ed that the perpetrator Of this barbarous
crime will be ferreted out, and receive
the condign punishment which the of
Tense so richly merits. The red hot fur
naces of hell are yawning for just such
scoundrels. and we doubt not that the
carcass OF this worse than murderer.
whoever he may be, is so deeply dyed
in rascality, murder, and sin, that it
would furnish fuel sufficient to run the
regions of the damned for half century.
The injured man is son of our old and
esteemed friend, Nathaniel Moore, pro-
prictor of the depot mills.-RushrWc

TIE GREAT RETOL CTION

Three or four weeks ago, the Times
gave tAe party Of moral ideas due
notice that it must receive an accession
to its numbers Of about million voters.
Why such an accession should be dis
tasteful to it is unaccountable, but such
seems to be the fact.
For five years it has been steadily at
work to get the southern States into
the Union, under State governments,
and regulations, and laws which would
make them the allies of the party in
power. For this, Congress enacted the
reconstruction infamy and clothed it
self in perjury, and did such villainous
and detestable work as will make its
memory exccrable in all time to come.
Now, when the people of these States
voluntarily and freely come forward and
join the republican party, and place
themselves on the republican platforms,
and nominate republican candidates,
they are told that the party does not
want them, and will not acknowledge
them.
They want the party. In the south
they are the party. They are in to stay
until they get ready to leave. They
will not go out, and they cannot get out,
until they do get ready to leave. They
are reconstructed" They are convert
ed. They are loyal" They are re-
publicans. How can they be prevented
from declaring these facts? How can
they be prevented from voting the re-
publican ticket? As they are in the
majority, how can they be prevented
from elccting their candidate? They
will elect them, and then the republican
party will have in it such able and
staunch defenders as Walker, and Dent,
and Emerson Etheridgc, and Andy john
son.
OF course, the democracy are gricved
to see the white men i'm the southern
States transfer themselves in a body to
the republican party, but, as such is their
privilege, there is no way to prevent it
1t is great political revolution 1t is
without parallel in the history of polit.
zeal parties.
What is most singular about it, is tho
pcrsistcncy with which the ex-rebels ad
here to the republican organization, dcs
pite the many rebuffs they receive
Grant may disown them, and Boutwell,
may make war on them, but they still
claim Grant as their leader, and the re
publican party as their home. Another
singular feature in this great poiitica
revolution is, that the democracy are
resigned, and even cheerful, under Their
loss, while the republicans are plunged
in profoundest melancholy over then
gain.-Chicago Times.

TIE ENGLISH AND AMERICAN
DEBT

Mr.. Lowe states, in the House of Com
mons. that the British debt has been re-
duced, in the last ten years, about one
hundred and eighty-three millions of our
dollars in gold. The New York Times
says this is progression at small pace, "
and refers to the United States to show
how much better VIC have done. We
can't see it. Our ascertaincd debt on
the LIST of April, 1865, was 1886, co.,
900. On the 1st of July, 1869, it was
50, 645, 900, 600; or S279, 100000 more
than it was four years ago. These figures
are from the reports of Boutwelland Nc
Culloch, our Secretaries of Treasury, al
their respective periods. While we
have thus added to the debt, We have
collected, in the meantime, about sixteen
hundred million dollars. In other words
we have imposed taxes enough on tho
people to have paid two-thirds of the en-
tire Indebtedness; and yet here We are
with a handsome addition to the debt
instead of a reduction.

and Acting Secretary Richardson, in
relation to the arrangements for the fun

an attack of neuralgia.
When the body Of the late Secretary
Rawlins was removed to the war depart
ment this morning, Gen. Sherman and
Adjt. Gen. Townsend were present, and
under their direction guard was station
ed at each end of the catafalque, and
also at the entrances to the room. Du-
ring the day large number OF persons
