Gen. Jane q. Veatch, the Adiutant
General of Indiana, returned from
Washington City last week, whittier
he had been sent by Governor Baker
for the purpose of securing, if possi-
BILE, the allowance Of long pending
claim which the State has had filed
with the War and Treasury Depart
ments, to REIN burse itfor the expenses
of the Indiana Legion. The total
amount of the claim was four hun
dred and eighty thousand dollars.
General Veatch has been unremitting
in his attention to the matter, enlist
log the cooperation of Senators
Morton and Pratt. and such other
influences as he could bring to bear
upon the Departments, and we are
pleased to learn that he has been en-
tirely successful in securing the allow
ance of the whole amount of the
claim, $3.50, 900. As soon as it can be
properly audited, this large sum OF
money will be paid into the State
Treasury, and will doubtless be ap
piled to the reduction of the State
debt, which is so rapidly melting
away undera Republican Administra-
ton of State affairs. A half a mil
lion of dollars in one lump is large
slice off the old mountain of Dem
ocratic extravagauce, bequeathed tC
the Republican officials. We con
gratulate Gen. Veatch and Governor
Baker upon their success. There il
still pending another claim against th'
government :of over 100000, and i
is probable General Veatch will re
turn to Washington to prosecute it
if possible, to a successful issue.

George Peabody and Children.

He had great love for children.
At Baltimore, city which received
extraordinary manifestations of his
benevolence, he held an interview
with twenty thousand children, IN
front of THE Peabody Institute
The children passed him in process
sion, and each school. by delegate,
presented him with flowers. Again
he met the children of South Danvers
at public reception, aud his brief
address is worth quoting, as showing
the kindly heart of the man. He said,
II am most forcibly reminded of an
incident which has often recurred to
my memory In connection with my re
ception by the citizens of this town
more than ten years ago. Returning
with my sister to Georgetown, on the
evening after the reception, we we're
driving steadily along through your
principal street. when our driver sud
denly drew up his horse, checked by
very unusual obstacle chain of
little children, with firmly y-locked
hands, extending quite across the
streat, and yielding not an inch to the
formidable approach of our carriage
They had taken this method to secure
the presentation OF their welcomes
and their beautiful boquets. AS l said,
| have often thought of the incident
since, and always with pleasure aud
deep emotion. / have wondered what
has become of all those little links in
that pretty chain. No doubt some of
the little hands then so firmly cIasped
are now still and cold In death; but
many, trust. are already busy in ac-
tive duties, tightening the cares or
the labors of their domestic circle.
And perhaps among that tile band
were some of those whom l now see
before me, in the higher departments
of the schools, and soon to take their
places In the busy world. Judging
from the ordinary term of human ex-
istence, | am now older than many of
you will ever be; but l am still fond
of the sight and the companionship of
the young; and [ an glad that as
sociated with the last week of my stay
in my native country will be the mem
ory of this ssemblage and of my meet
ing with you to- day. OliUer Optic s

Our Republican exchanges uni
formly speak in the most enthusiastic
manner of the State Convention-the
platform it constructed and the ticket
it nominated. Thus far we have not
heard single discordant note. This
is most auspicious opening Of, the
campaign. With united and bar
monious party, energetic canvass,
backed by the Fifteenth Amendment
voters, the Republicans Of Indiana
may confidently anticipate success at
the approaching October election, BY
majority in excess OF any previous
victory.

The ECUMENICAL COUNCIL AND
THE PoPE.-The Paris correspondent
of the New York Erpress writes :
The Council at Rome is becoming a
monotonous frace-a parade show
to draw strangers to the Holy City.
Even the most bigoted organs of the
Church here find it hard to keep up
any interest, or show of such, in the
matter. The talk of the Pope s infalli-
bility is nonsense, and there is much
to wager that out of Council dis
cussions will arise such dissensions
and breaks as will altogether lessen
instead of reafianing the power of
Rome. lis evident now to all that
influence of the Pope is less than
scofers at it had supposed. The
Bishops at the Council are so well
aware of this that many of them take
no pains to conceal the fact that they
are prepared to act against His Ho-
illness throughout, and there are not
lacking at Rome close observers, who
openly assert now that the Council
will break up in a row, or, to save ap-
pearances, seprate, having accomplish
ed nothing save to render it evident
that Rome and her power are old fogy.'

PLoD AND PLUcK.-Henry Ward
Becker spoke the other day at com
mencement exercises ofa business col
lege in New York. We quote a pas
sage on plod and pluck: Il do not
believe a business man who says that
he has asked for employment and
cannot get it. l know many out of
employment, but they are drones;
they are not business men of the
world. A business man may lack a
good many things. but he will get on
if he has pluck There is no business
man who has not pluck, and it is the
business of Mr.. Packard to teach you
all pluck in life as the first incentive
to business; and hope that he teach
es you another word, which is the
greatest business word in the world
- name it In its homeliness, and it
is an old Saxon word-it is called
plod. oh, say somebody, he is only
a plodder, Only a plodderl Ahl
there never was mantle most brill
liant genius In the world, who did
not owe much to this process of being
a plodder. 1t is very we'll for genius
to consecrate the light Of the path of
life, but it must be. pluck and plod
that carries man over the paths of
life. / would have these words in
scribed over the walls: The pluck of
life; the plod of life"
