DEMOORACY IN INDIANA.

THE resolutions adopted by the Democracy of
Indiana, in State Convention assembled, on
Saturday last, abundantly prove that they
still submit to the dictatorship of leaders as
unfit to direct the destinies of this country
MS the Bourbon prince who had ''the head of
mule and the heart of tiger" They have
had ample opportunities during the last ten
years to imbibe at least q few of the new
ideas with which the world is teeming, and
repeated defeats, if nothing else should have
taught them the necessity of making dis
play of Difference to the spirit of the age and
the repeated decisions of their fellow-citizens.
But they have learned nothing and forgot
ten nothing, and they propose now to
reopen and keep open all old issues until
Democratic ideas prevail, and the triumph of
the doctrines of Brick Pomeroy is complete.
They have substituted for submission to the
will of the people, which in former times con-
stituted the fundamental creed of the party,
dogged determination to cling to exploded
dogmas and obsolete notions, in spite of a
succession of solemn and irreversible con-
demnations by immense majorities and by
Congressional, executive and judicial autho-
rites. In spite of the anxiety of the nation TO
enjoy the blessings Of peace, they propose to
fight over again the stormy political bat
Ties of the last five years; to set aside
the reconstruction measures to create new
doubts about the sacredness of the public
debt; to abolish protection, and go back to
free trade; to insist upon the retention of
caste distinctions in the regulation of the
elective franchise; and to maintain all the old
60 for in fha tot ott
ization of newly-arrived emigrants. Such
declaration of principles is an insult to the
intelligence of the voters who are invoked to
support it, not only because it demands that
they shall stultify themselves by approving in
1870 what they have condemned over aud
over again, but because it seeks the endorse
ment of measures as impracticable as they
are unwise and unjust. It's ruling idea is
that the whole country must be turned up
side down for the purpose of maintaining the
consistency of beaten party and convert
ing stupid leaders into apparent wiseacres.
AL that is practical in it is mischievous, and
all that is abstract is absurd. 1t displays
no comprehension of the live issues of the
day, or sympathy with the active and big
world which exists outside of the foetid circle
of Nasty politicians. 1t proposes to do
nothing which will benefit single human
being, while it reeks with anxiety to open a
Psndoras box of evils. 1t promises no more
practical relief from any existing trouble or
difficulty than could be extracted from the
mummery of an Indian medicine-man, and it
proves the unftness of it's authors for power
by showing their determination to ignore
alike the wishes and the interests of those
from whom they are vainly seeking reversal
of patriotic verdicts.

The WINNIPEaERs are carrying on their
revolution in a style that is a little remarka
BILE and that presages well for their success.
They are SO far away from Canada that they
are relieved from any serious fears of an in
vasion, for the present at least, SO they have
determined to prosecute hostilities in an en-
lightened manner by establishing a news
paper. For this purpose they have extorted
from the Hudson Bay Company loan of
$3.50, by abstracting a safe containing that
amount. OF this sum $3.50 was
used in purchasing press and
printing materials, and paper devoted to
the interests of the insurgents, and to be
called the independents IL shortly be issued.
This proceeding gives us reason to expect much
of the performances of the Winnipegers in the
future; and with fair chance to put their
cause in proper light before the world, there
is good reason to believe that, through the
medium of the independent, they will ulti-
mately gain their independence.

The SON of President Lopez of Paraguay
is now in Washington, for the ostensible
purpose of inducing our Government to take
some action in his fathers favor, or at least
to renew diplomatic intercourse with him.
Lopez junior arrived just little too late, as
he was preceded by the information, from ap-
parently reliable sources, that his father had
been finally defeated, and had been forced to
fly before the allies without even shadow of
an army to represent his cause any longer in
the field. Indeed, it is not at all improbable
that the son came to the United States to
avoid the certain ruin that he saw impending,
and with but little expectation that the
United States would do more than afford him
an asylum. 1t is impossible not to admire

II SEEMS to be we'll understood that strong
combination has been formed to make
ravaging raid upon the State Treasury, under
the pretense. of obtaining relief for the rich
farmers of the border counties of Pennsyl-
vania who, five or six years ago, had few
hogs, Sleeps, cows, or fence rails captured by
the Rebels large portion of any money
voted for this purpose will inevitably go into
the pockets of the lobbyists or middlemen
who act as agents in pressing these claims, if
not into the possession of the members who
sanction them. If all the losses of the war
are to be counted up and paid for
upon the system on which these bills
are made ont, the treasures of
the world could not defray them, and the
American people would be doomed to hopeless
and perpetual poverty in vain effort to
satisfy the Unsuitable leeches that would be
fastened upon them. We hope that every
legislator will, in mercy to the body of the
people, resist the threatened new extortion.
If they have any money to spare let them de-
vote it to the reduction of the State debt, to
the increase of the appropriation to common
schools, or distribute it among the counties
which are overtaxed for the bounty funds
assumed by many other Commonwealths.

THE SPANISH ministerial crisis has termi-
mated by Rivero, President of the Cortes, &C
cepting the Ministry of the Interior, Admiral
Topete that of Marine, and Sagosta that of
State General Prim, who was the brains of
the revolution, is out of office, and the princi-
pal interest of the Spanish situation is now
involved in his next move. 1t is not likely
that he will retire to the background at this
time, and it would not be matter for sur
prise to hear that counter revolution had
been started by him. The attempts hitherto
made by the republicans against the pro-
visional government have principally failed
through want of organization and an efficient
leader, and if Prim should declare for q
republic he would probably have but little
difficulty in organizing the various disaffec-
tants and overturning the regency. That a
republic could be maintained for any length
of time, or carried on with any success, we do
not believe now any more than we did year
ago, and the prospects that Spain will become
a second Mexico are more apparent with each
succeeding move on the political chess-board.

The startling rumor has been current at
st. Petersburg that the death of Mr.. Bur
lingame was caused by poisoning, the mo-
tive to the crime being the jealousy Of his
Chinese associates in the Embassy. We
can trace this rumor to no basis of fact, and
it seems to be rather one of those titbits of
sensational gossip in which diplomatic cir
cles delight than a subject for serious
thought. The st. Louis Republican asys
that the Russians have q weakness for ex-
planning the sudden death of any promi-
nent person sin an unnatural rather than
common nanner"-though, perhaps, we
ourselves have not much to say ON that
head, after q member of the last Congress
solemnly announced his belief in that body
that both Harrison and Taylor had been
poisoned. The truth seems to be that Mr..
Burlingame overheated himself by violent
exercise in skating when the weather was
exceptionally cold, and that his system
then received shock to which 1t succumb-

AN action for breach of promise has just
been decided, in which the defendant, a
clerk in the service of one OF the city COM
panies, pleaded almost every conceivable
defence: /. That he had not promised; 2.
That he had not broken his promise; g..
That a reasonable time had not been al
lowed him for its fulfilment; 4. That the
lady had released him and, lastly, that he
was quite willing to fulfil the engagement.
This reminds one of the celebrated dog
biting case, where the defendant pleaded /:
l. That his dog was always chained up; 2.
That the dog was too good-tempered 10

had no teeth, and couldn't bite if he wish
ed; and, 4, that ne never had dog. The
jury, however, were not sufficiently inn
pressed with the ingenuity of the defend
ant, for they mulcted him $40 damages.

A Moderate Ex.Rebel ON the situation.

Colonel James L. Orr, of South Carolina,
long one of the most prominent men in
that State, has accepted the situation more
thoroughly perhaps than any other of the
old political leaders of South Carolina. He
was recently visited by correspondent of
the New York Tribune, who found him
living quietly at his home in Anderson.
The writer says:
81 Mr.. Orr never has been popular among
the aristocracy of his state. He sprang
from the people. He was a conservative
when the radical doctrines of secession
were popular. AS rebel Senator he intro
duced resolutions looking to peace, in Sc
cret session. He maintained intercourse
with the national officers sent to South
Carolina. Hewas in the Philadelphia con-
vention of 1855. He advised the people TO
vote for delegates to the constitutional con-
vedtion, and he accepted a judgeship from
a republican legislature. Mr.. Orr thinks
the democratic party is doomed. So many
of its leaders opposed the war, that the war
having proved successful, they find them
selves in the same category of the opponents
of the war of 1872, the Mexican war, DC.
These blunders then and forever went
down under load of odium and popular
dislike. For the republican party Mr.. Orr
sees ruin few years distant High taxes,
corruption in Office, financial laundering
will do the business for them, and then
comes the party of economy and statesman
ship. Mr.. Orr says that, had Mr.. Seymour
been elected, the democrats in the South
would have tried to overturn the then ex-
listing State governments, and that in real
ity the election of Grant was a blessing.
He says that republicanism is gaining
ground in South Carolina and that the col
ored people are improving, and that the
white men in "A few years will be the strong
est friends of the policy established by the
fifteenth amendment, for it will give
strength to the South. Mr.. Orr is no adj
vocate of antagonism to the colored voters.
They are i'm a minority, and they must be
conciliated and worked with. To this COM
plexion South Carolina must come, and If
the State IL to have any decent government,
her best citizens must enter the field of
practical legislation and lead the emanei-
pated blacks, who will trust them when
they see that they are in earnest i'm profess
ing to labor for the common veal"

The hitch in the San Domingo treaty
does not seem to consist in any general OPP
position to acquiring naval foothold in
the West Indies, but rather in the doubt
of some Senators as to the real financial
condition of the island. The desire Is to
know exactly how much the Republic
owes, and what it has to pay with. We
incline to think it will be found, as IL as
serted, that the English loan compact has
been made nugatory by non-delivery of the
amount stipulated. In this case, the repay
ment of the ESQ, 900 already delivered will
be a trifling matter, and amply provided
for by including it in that list of obliga-
tions to which the Dominican Government
agrees to devote the treaty-money paid by
us. However, a Commission can soon de-
termine this matter with precision, and
furnish all needed guarantees. The San
Domingo treaty, will, therefore, If not car
ried through at present, be simply post
poned for amendment and further infor-
mation.--N Y. Times.

Local Papers.

Horace Greeley's opinion of newspapers
Is worth that of all creation beside. He
sometimes gives it for the benefit of those
who imagine they can do without such
auxiliaries. The Tribune is as much the
friend of country journals as it is the reflex
of national opinion. The following back
handed slap he gives in the face of those
who imagine local papers worthless:
Nothing is more common than to hear
people talk Of what they pay newspapers
for advertising, etc., as so much given in
charity. Newspapers, by enhancing the
value of property in their neighborhood
and giving the localities in which they are
published reputation abroad, benefit all
such, particularly if they are merchants or
real estate owners, thrice the amount year
ly of the meagre sum they pay for their
support. Besides, every public spirited
citizen has laudable pride in having a
paper of which he Is not ashamed, even
though he should pick it up in New York.
A good-looking, thriving sheet helps prop
erty, gives character TO the locality, and in
many respects is a desirable public conve-
nience. If from any cause the matter in
the editorial or local columns should not
be up to your standard do not put 1t aside
and pronounce il good for nothing, until
satisfied that there has been no more labor
bestowed upon il than IL paid for. II you
want good readable paper it must be sup
ported, not in a spirit charity either, but
because you feel il a necessity to support it.
The local press is the power that moves
the people,

WoMANLY MoDEsTY. Man loves the
mysterious. A cloudless sky, the full
blown rose, leave him unmoved, but the
violet, which hides its blushing beauties
behind the bush, and the moon when she
emerges from beneath cloud, are to him
sources of inspiration and pleasure. Mod
esty is to merit what shade is to figures in
painting-it gives boldness and promi-
nence. Nothing adds more 60 female
beauty than modesty; it sheds around tho
countenance halo of light which is Dor
rowed from virtue. Botanists have given
to the rosy hue which tinges the cup of the
white rose the name of the "maiden blush.''
This pure and delicate hue is the only paint
Christian virgins should use it is the
richest ornament. A woman without mod
esty is like faded flower, which diffuses
an unwholesome Odor, aud which the pru-
dent gardener will throw from him. Her
destiny is melancholy, for it terminates in
shame and repentance. Beauty passes like
the flower of the albo, which blooms and
dies in a few hours, but modesty gives the
female character charms which SURPRISES
this transitory freshness of youth.

Harper's weekly on Logan,s Army Bill.
AN uNKINn nIow.

AN UNKIND BLOW.
Economy Is good thing, but gratitude
Is better. If there is any class OF faithful
servants of this country who do their duty
well and silently, and do not blow their
own trumpets, ii is the military and naval
officers. or none are more serious sacri-
fees required. None as a rule, are more
wretcbedly paid. And none bear with
more accomplishing fortitude the blows
that are aimed at them. A few weeks since
we called attention TO the law which for
babe retired army officers to be detailed for
certain duties for which they were especi-
ally Gualifled--a prohibition which very
seriously reduced their incomes, and in an
nouncing which Gen. Sherman could not
help expressing his sympathy and regret
IT was law which said to not more than a
hundred men who had given their lives to
the honorable defense of the flag, and who
had no other possible resource 1--WE want
To save few thousand dollars, and you
may go to--pasture.n There was not one
officer unnecessarily straitened and insult
ed by that law who would not be justified
in regretting that he had ever entered the
service Of the United States.
When such objections were made in the
course of the debate upon the Army BILL
some Representative said, I" II the officers
don't like the law, let them resign their
commissions" We do not like to charac-
terize such remark as it deserves 1t is
not the officers only who dislike such a
law. The people win not like it when
they know it; for 1t IL a harsh and unkind
law. Anxious for economy, it IL not by
pairing the lean salaries of few faithful Of
ficers, partially disabled in the service of
the country, that the people wish TO save
money. We have learned in desperate ex-
tremity the value of trained and devoted
officers. When they are old and can not
change their profession, let us not study
how we may reduce their means and their
opportunities. Let US rather be careful
to show that we gratefully remember their
services and their long fidelity.
