The Fenian farce is ended, and

forbidden by fate. The wicked
leaders of a misguided people, have
aourisRed a few days at the head Of
battalions, ''snufed the battle afal
off" and then either allowed them
selves to be taken in charge by U. s.
Marshals, or retired from the field,
when the first shots were hurtling in
the air, thoroughly demoralized and
willing to postpone 'the conquest Of
Canada" until a more convenient
season. A few have sealed their de
vosion to the cause with their lives.
h,,t the sacrifice has been little else
.bsn murder. Yet, if the shameful

nEormonism In Indiana.

The newspapers have recently had
much TO say about the Mermon re
vival in New York, and have made
seven days wonder out of the fact
that quiet, sensible and educated
people have been induced to embrace
the faith of the Mormon Church. as
expounded by Brigham Young and
his prcdec ssor, Joe Smith, and

, homes to take up II residence among
! the Saints at Salt Lake city. But
our Indiana exchanges may now
cease their homilies on the dctcrio-
aation of the Yankees and turn
their attention homeward, where
Mormonism is making Roadway
quite as rapidly as in the Empire
State.
At the present time 4 Mormon re
viyal is in progress about fifteen
miles from New Albany, in a church
of the Christian denomination, which
the trustees have given the Latter
Day Saints the privilege Of using
The church is located about three
miles from New Providence, Clark
county. The meetings are con
Quoted by a Mormon Evangelist
from Salt Lake, and it is said he is
creating an intense excitement by
preaching. Already fifteen persons
have given in their adhesion to
the Mormon Church, and the re-
vival progresses without abatement.
We are informed that one family,
consisting of six persons, have all
Joined the church, and will soon
leave for Salt Lake. So great is the
excitement that people have aban-
doned their work, many farmers
stopping their plows in the fields to
attend the meetings. What the end
will be we do not pretend to say; but
it is very certain that many converts
are being made to the Mormon faith.
We trust that our Indiana exchanges
will now cease their warfare upon
the New Yorkers, and turn their
theological guns upon this Hoosier
demonstration in favor of the noto-
rious Brigham Young and his obnox-
ious doctrines. Charity, certainly,
should begin at home.-NeC Al

Desperate Shot by an Omccr.

MADISON, Ind, May 31.-A fatal
riot and shooting afray occurred in
this city about Z o'clock this morn
ing, the particulars ofwhich are sub
stantially as follows: John Gavin,
a we'll known Irishman, who has fig
ured conspicuously in the police
courts hereabouts for several years,
got into difficulty with a miller by
the name of Messmore and struck
him. Messmore, who is a quiet,
peaceable man, Immediately put him
self on the defensive. The two
clinched each other and about this
time, Mr.. Jno. W. Lerick, prosecu-
tor of our criminal court, who hap
pened to be passing, appeared in the
attitude ofa peacemaker and endeav-
ored to separate the combatants.
Gavin then loosed his hold on Mess
more and at once assaulted Lerick,
and two other men who it seems
were in company with Gavin in the
first place and had been drinking
with him, also joined in the attack
on Lerick. The latter proved to be
equal to the occasion, and success
fully held his opponents at bay
single handed for some time. Gavin
struck at Lerick several times, but
his blows were warded of, and Ler-
lex out-hanking him, felled him to
the ground with his fists. Finally
man by the the name Of Griffin, an
employer of Gavin, ran up and struck
Lerick with dray pin, but failed to
knock him down. 1t is said that
other weapons were also drawn on
LerIck by the friends of Gavin.
Finally the street fight terminated
and Marshal Whedon came to the
scence with writs for the arrest of
the offenders,
Gavin swore he would not be taken
and threatened to shoot the Mar
shall If he ATTEMPTED it, and drawing
his weapons he defed the authori-
ties. Whedon finding himself in a
situation, demanded a sur
render, and at length, in self-defense,
fired at Gavin, the ball entering
Gavin's head near his eye. Gavin |
fell and almost instantly expired. |
The coroner is now holding an in
quest on the body, which lies at the
deceased. No one seems surprised |
at the death of Gavin, as from his
quarrelsome disposition
hose who knew him fully expected
hat sooner or later he would meet |
with violenth death. He leaves a
wife and several children who, how
ever, are not likely to suffer, as it is
understood that Gavin possessed
some considerable property.

THE NoRTHERNPACTFIC LAND
GRAB.

AS we anticipated, from che strong
combination disclosed in the pass
age Of the Oregon Railroad bill,
with a grant of two million acres or
so Of public lands, another branch
of the land grabbing ring triumphed
yesterday in the passage of the
Northern Pacific Railroad bill, Ii
had already passed the Senate. BY
this bill tens OF millions of acres of
public land are given away, in adj
dition to the already liberal grants
to this company of greedy spec
ulaters. An the numerous amend
ments were voted down, with the
steady tread Of compact aud well
disciplined organization, and the
bill was passed, l07 to 81.
In 1864, the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company obtained from
Congress 4 grant said to be equal to
forty miles in width along the whole
line of the proposed route. They
have received other valuable grants,
and should have had the work well
advanced toward completion long
ago. Yet little has been done. The
grantors, like Oliver Twist, have
always been hankering for more.
They had a good thing already, but
while they were in the way ofplund-
er, they have manifested 4 resolute
purpose of enriching themselves out
of Uncle Sans domain to the ut
most possible extent. They organic
ed q powerful lobby, compacted
their combinations, drew al posi-
bic influences into their ring, and
now we are seeing the fruits. 1t is
one of the most gigantic enterprises
Of the kind ever undertaken, and
has been pushed in defiance of an
almost universal popular sentiment.
The result should startle.and alarm
the nation
There is one hope-ony onc-of
defeating the conspirators, who have
still another mammoth scheme to
bring forward as part Of the pro-
gramme, in the shape of the South
ern Pacific Railroad bill now pend
ing. That hope, that sole resource,
is in the veto power of the President.
AS earnest friends and supporters of
the Administration, we call upon
President Grant to take q bold and
fearless stand against these schemes.
This is his great opportunity. Let
him turn q deaf ear to all siren
songs, to all personal opportunities
Of the plunderers, to'every plausible
pretence from whatever source, and
look at the case as it appears to the
people. No power can stand before
an outraged public opinion. There
is a still small voice-the voice of
the people, the voice of destiny to
all national rulers-which he may
not at this moment hear, amid the
noisy clamors at the capitol. The
President should know that his
action is at this moment everywhere
awaited with intense solicitudc. He
has a responsibility not to be evaded
Let him electrify the country by
saying to the plunderers' "Thus far,
but no fartherm Let them hear the
will of nation in his effective and
final veto.-CjaciRRaG Chronicle.

fifteen years of my life as member

be a source of satisfaction to me.
NaYertheless, l feel and find by a sad

which our laws allow is q compensa-

considerable perso2al expenses, the
heavy responsibility, the exhausting,
never ending and still beginning la

stephens Estimate Of Grant

In the second volume of his work
on the Rebellion, A. H. Stephens,
the Vice President of the Southern
Confederacy, gives the following as
his estimate of Gen Grant, as form
ed from personal observation
Il was never so much disappoint-
ell in my life, in my previously form
ed opinions, Of either the personal
appearance or bearing Of any one,
about whom j had read and heard
so much. The disappointment,
moreover, was in every respect favor
able and agreeable was instantly
struck with the great simplicity and
perfect naturalness of his manners,
and the entire absence Of everything
like affectation. show, or even the
usual military air or mien Of men in
his position. He was plainly attired
sitting in a log cabin, busily writ
ing on a small table, by a kerosene
lamp. 1t was night when we ar
rived. There was nothing in his
appearance or surroundings which
indicated his official rank There
were neither guards nor aids about
him. Upon Col. Babcock's rapping
at his door, the response Come in
was by himself, in a tone Of voice
and with cadence which l can never
forget. His conversation was easy
and fluent, without the least effort or
restraint. In this, nothing was so
closely noticed by me as the point
and terseness with which he ex-
pressed whatever he said. He did
not seem either to court or avoid |
conversation, but whenever he did |
speak, what he said was directly to |
the point and covered the whole mat |
ter in a few words. ] saw before be-
ing with him long, that he was ex-
eeedingly quick in perception and
direct in purpose, with a vast deal
more of brains than tongue, as ready
as that was at his command" !

An Internal Crime. a..

The crime charged against a mar
named Lange, a dealer in picture
frames in this city, is one that should
give him a prominence in the Grim
inal catalogue for diabolical intent
He shipped a box in April last on
the New Orleans steamer, and secured
an insurance on it of one thousand
six hundred and fifty dollars, and the
box proved to have been prepared
with explosive and infammable ma
terial, and was only prevented from
burning the ship by the watchful-
ness and activity of the captain. In
the box were vessels of alcohol,
gasoline and turpentine, and fire was
apparently to have been set to these
by chemical that would explode
with slight friction. The friction
was provided for by mice shut in q
box, who, in gnawing their way out,
were to fire the train that might
have destroyed the ship and all her
company at sea. Here, then, is, if
the charge prove true, q man who
deliberately contrives the, awful ca
lamity, fire on ship at sca-con-
trives the possible frightful death of
twenty or thirty persons-to secure
the small prize of sixteen hundred
dollars insurance money, He should
be tried by a jury ofsea captains and
sailors. 1t is 4 remarkable coinci-
dence that this crime was attempted
against the steamer George Wash
ington, while some years since a
crime Of the same nature was CON
trived in the shipment of goods on
the Mississippi steamer Martha
Washington.

The symptoms of bad blood are usually quite
plain-bad Digestion-eauses imperfect nutrition,
ard consequently the circulation is feeble, the soft
tissues loose their tone and elacticity. and the
tongue becomes pale, broad, and frequently COW
cred with pasty, white coat. This condition
soon shows itself in rntsghHess of the skin, then
in ERUPrIyE and ULcERATIyE diseases, and when
long continued, results in serious lesious OF the
Brain, Liver, Lungs, or urinary apparatus. Much
