OF Deputies organized by the district attor-
neys and marshals, cost as much almost as
the state government, when properly admin
istered. The marshal. for instance, kept an
army of 40 deputies, whose principal bust
ness seems to have been to worry the citi-
zens by false warrants. To drag in thou
sands of innocent people, and charge ex-
penses, fees, and all the amounts that usually
accrue to the legitimate performance of thes
operations. These deputies the government
inspector ascertained, were in a majority of
cases thieves and outlaws who not only
robbed the government by pretended SER
vice, but still more heineus, were not in
sympathy with the great republican party?
That seemed TO be the rub. Had they
robbed i'm the name of the republican
party, as we see them do in these
more civilized regions, there would
have been no fault found, but the idea OF
gangs of from $50 to 200 men retained by
the marshal, and making continuous fees
by false arrests and pretended Journeys of
hundreds of miles, for which they drew full
mileage-this was too much to permit dis
loyal children of sin to carry on. But the
government detective was not appraised of
the reasons moving the attorney general to
keep these things dark, and he sent his re-
ports on with rapid and wrathful zeal, only
to have them buried in the convenient
pigeon holes of the department of justice.
Indeed, this Arkansas business is unique ia
its way. Without the imposing proportions
OF credit mobiher or the Tweed robberles, it
illustrates the tendencies of that "grest
party" which claims the divine right to rule
the American nation because OF its moral
ideas and progressive Platforms

New York revels in cash and The bulls are
on the rampage. Not less than So, 0O0, 900 is
to be paid out for the January interest on
securities of various kinds, mostly govern
ment and railroad. Nearly $4,000, 600 is dis
bursed from the national treasury, and the
railroads contribute all along from $780,
to 81 10000 interest on bonds. The latter
enormous sum is paid by the Reading rail-
road. The outpouring OF these funds
amounts to initiation in New York, and I'M
der the stimulus of investments sought,
stocks have taken an upward movement all
round. January is set down for lively
month on Wall street, and all the specula-
tors are bulls. But a feature that is in real
ity encouraging pertains to the railroads.
They are coming to the scratch with their
January interest much more generally than
was feared and expected. Some who can
not pay gave previous notice of the fact and
made provision to sustain their credit. or
seventeen companies whose coupons were
redcemable at one office, the Farmers Loan
and Trust Company, only two failed to meet
the issue with cash. One of these. partly an
Indiana road, the Fort Wayne, Jackson and
Saginaw, has made arrangements to fund its
coupons in a satisfactory way. Some roads
fail to come to time only because of the pam
ic and money stringency. Altogether, about
lis roads are in default of their interest,
many of which are good and will be sure to
redeem themselves hereafter. Among these
is the Detroit and Eel River road in this
state, which has but just got into complete
operation. 1t is a line of eighty-three miles,
connecting Logansport and Butler, DeKalb
county. and one of the most useful roads of
the state. in direct competition with great
corporation. Present aspects give assurance
that railroad credit has reached the lowest
point and will pick up directly. The dis
bursements of funds in New York viii be
felt also outside.

Line upon line, sin upon sin, the vile rec
ord of the last campaign is coming to light.
When the party thieves tall out we get
glimpses of the ways of the managers. The
nomination of Williams to the place of
Chase, caused an instant revulsion against
him instead of Grant, and the rOgues who
had heretofore shielded all the rascalities
have made public some of the corruptions
carried on constantly. For instance, the ac-
tual processes of the " campaign are shown
in the senate records. The senate chamber
was turned into bureau for the reception
of political matter and its distribution over
the country. Here the clerks paid by
the government were kept at work from
July sending out speeches" in the Grant
interest The Tribune's summary from
Washington puts the odious business about
as briefly and pointedly as it is possible to
shape it: From the first of July to the first
'of November, 1872, when congress was not
lin session, there were purchased for the use
'of the senate folding room 9, 100000 speech
envelopes at a cost of Sc, 900, and these were
Sin addition to the AS, 100 envelopes furnished
'to senators and committees. The number
of speeches" for the folding of which the
government paid during the same time,
was 2,204,99O, and the cost of this
work was 81 ,2S3 o.. The payroll OF the
'fol6ing-room during the same time was
s., 905. The amount of salary paid to
department clerks during the same time,
'of whom from twenty TO thirty were de-
tailed to direct documents, etc, is not given
Sin the report from which these figures are
taken. During the same time there were
used in the fOlding-rOOm lS5 buckets of
paste, costing sI56 25; ,437 SO pounds of
Irvine, costing $40 So; 326 reams of wrap
ping paper, costing Sl.22S Is; and % paste
brushes, costing 81. To arrive at the exact
cost to the government of this campaign
document distribution, the postage on the
g 100000 documents ought to be added. and
'and it may be remarked that as the docu-
'meuts were not speeches made in congress,
their ranking was illegal and the franks
nearly all forgeries.'

If any evidence were needed to show that
progressive spirit possesses the state OF
Indiana, it would be abundantly supplied in
the two assemblages In this city of last week
and the present. The former represented the
educational and the latter the productive
forces of the State. The leading minds that
give impetus to the onward movement in
both these vast interests have been on the
ground and disclosed their spirit. There is
no need to enquire or say which
is the more important subject
of elaboration. Both are fundamental, and
no intrinsic difference should be alleged.
But it is not going beyond the mark to say
that the combined meetings of the. agricul-
tural and horticultural societies have never
compared with the present ones in lively in
terest. The scale of thought is elevated TO a
higher level than ever before; the views of
the husbandmen are broader and far more
enlightened. The state board seem to he
inspired as they are, in fact with
new life and energy. They look
forward to the meetings OF the fall with de-
cided purposes to work for the promotion OF
a higher and more profitable type of farm
ing, stock and fruit raising. Space has not
permitted full reports of the discussions and
papers of the horticulturists. But they have
been replete with sound ideas and rich ex-
periences. Many of the papers will find the
light in print. But the impromptu de-
bates of such men as Weltz, of Ohio; DIR.
Furnas. Messrs. Ferris, Mendenhall. Hamp-
ton, Hoffman, Pagan, Templin, and many
others were of even greater value to those
who were present. the State Board and
Delegate board have been engaged more di-
rectly with the machinery Of organization,
but not less nsefullK perhaps. in tho end.

A point of very great interest to Indiana
polls came before the State board OF agricrl
ture Wednesday, and the Sentinel asks the
gentlemen concerned to act wisely, as they
hope for harmony in their dealings with the
city and state. a good share of the business
interests of this city and Marion county for
that matteri represented in the guarantors to
the exposition fund and it Is essential to the
interests of Indianapolis that a representa-
tive OF the guarahtors and incidentally OF
the city be given place on the board. Any
extended argument for this would be out of
place. Those who have the nomination and
election OF the new board to-day need not be
expected to concede point recognized as
soon as stated. The peculiar position in
which the guarantors are placed and the i'm
possibility of securing a non resident suffi-
GENTLY acquainted with the needs of the situ-
alton to give satisfaction tothe complicated
wants of this city and county render it inn
perative to have some citizen selected from
among the guarantors,. who will by his char
acter and influence strengthen the hands of
the board in carrying on the difficult work

Pomeroy's sins are no secret. He was the
embodiment of thieving in the senate so
early as 1861, and Mr.. Lincoln once made a
joke to the effect that if Subsidy were put
in command in the lower Mississippi depart
ment, he would steal the rebel terri
tory into the union"

Last spring the Illinois legislsture-in its
lower branch, at least-passed resolution
concemning the salary grab. The senate
this year takes UP the minority document
and changes it into a sweeping denunciation
OF the grab and all responsible for it and
pass il with rush-no voice dissenting.
As il stands now it agrees with the Ohio
resolution, which holds the president guilty
as well as congress.

If the latest phase of the Spanish situation
holds, the Serrano interreguum is simply in
tended as prelude TO a monarchial reestab-
lishment, with either Don Carlos, the Duke
de Montpensier or the Young Prince of the
Asturias, Isabella's son, on the throne. Cas-
telar seems to have relinquished power and
hope ut the same time and his friend, Gen.
Pavia. is to suffer the penalty of treason for
eoercing the Cortes. Meantime Serrano
holds supreme power. The Marshal-Ser-
rano, Duke of Dominquez-is veteran sol
der and statesman of vast experience. He
has ruled and fed his country repeatedly,
and alternates between the supreme power
and exile. Born of warlike and dominant
race, he began like all noble Spsniaris, in
the army, and soon rose to the highest
grades Of his profession. He served the
cause of Ferdinand VII, and Joined the
forces of his widow, Queen Christina,
on the kings death. lie was re-
garded with jealousy and cistrust by
the counsellors of the regent, and in time
overturned the cabal which was running the
country. Up TO this time Serrano was the
exponent of monarchial opinions, but sud-
denly turned liberal, and WAS presently elect
ed Captain General of Grenada. He was inn
plicated in the rising of Saragossa, and ban
ished. but when the O'Donnell- Esparter
cabinet was formed, in 1856, lie returned. In
the coup d'etat which followed in 1856, the
ministerial, coalition was dissolved, and Ser
rano attached himself to the O'Donnell fac
ton. In 1857 he was ambassador to Paris.
Little more is seen of him until 1856, when
he heads the opposition to the ministry of
Narvaz, and presents a protest from both
houses of deputies against the Propagation.
He is prosecuted by the ministry Tor this
officiousness, and confined in the prison of
Alicante. The spirit of revolution was
strong, and in 1865 he again comes to the
front, and with Prim and Topete in the
establishment of republic. He was made
President of The Council by the Junta, and
I nominated as COMMUNICATIVE chief of the
army. Prim took the portfolio of war, and
Topete that of the marine. When the mon
archial form of government was decided on
in 1869, Serrano was elected regent, and acted
in this capacity until the arrival Of Amadeo.
Since then he has been actively engaged in
the suppression of the Carlist revolts. His
known prediction is for the Montpensier
dynasty, that is to say the Spanish branch of
the Bourbons-and about the only respect
able member of that family since the Condo.
He is man of courage, culture and liberal
ity, and if Spain must be king ridden, he
will do fully as well as any one that could
be secured.

A special dispatch to the Cincinnati Com
nercial, touching the grab debate in the
senate, says of divers part in the discus
sion: "Mr. Morton unfolded his portfolio,
aud displayed fifty or sixty sheets of fools
cap, and monotonously began reading
'thenn. The friends OF prompt action lost
confidence, and began a retreat to the smok-
'ing rooms" The friends of PROMPT
action shouldn't be discouraged. Oliver
went about the return of his
'swsg in just the same way. He let six
months slip by before he made up his states
msnlike mind, to return the swag. Mean
time the little speech ne delivered when the
grab was under discussion last March, might
do now. He said then that $500 wasn't
enough OF raise for his purposes. He
couldn't live on such pittance
as that. and If he was going
10 have the name OF raising the sal
aries, he wanted it to be something worth
while. Still it win be of interest to learn
what Oliver has to say now. Probably he
can live more economically sincs the panic!

bic for nonresident to devote the time
and attention to the multiplicity of details
involved in the proper conduct of this place,
and which viii be looked for bv the citizens
and guarantors. A citizen acquainted with
the varied industries of the city, familiar
with the bulk of the business men. and
grounded in the knowledge of what is need
ed, is absolutely essential in the board, to
enable it to work with advantage in Indian
apolis. Represented by some one from q
distant point, the business interests of the
CITY can not be expected to come for
ward with such slacrity as the
occasion demands, when the work
begins next season. The present
board is made up ofan honorable and aple
body Of men, who have recommended them
selves TO the industrial and agricultural in
terests of the State by enlightened policy
and progressive action. Add to them some
energetic man selected from the guarantors,
and the future work-at least so far as the
exposition is concerned-will be greatly
simplified. Any other action will be mis-
understood by the body of our best citizens.

The postage law, which goes into operation lst
of January, 1875, requires prepaym eat on all
newspapers sent through the mails beyond the
limits of the counties in which they are publish
ed. We have. therefore, determined to adopt
the CASH PLAN for all subscriptions. While
avoiding the losses, tardy payments and ex-
penses of collection incident TO the credit sys-
tem we will be required to prepay the postage.
The change determined upon will, therefore,
prove beneficial to both Subscribers and publish
er. The former will be relieved of the postage
tax whilst the latter will be enabled TO simplify
the operations of his business and to improve
the facilities for conducting it.

During the past few months every subscriber
in arrears has been furnished, through the mails,

year. We appeal urgently to those who have
not made similar response to do so without
further delay, rs after the first Of January, 1876
