By decision of the Supreme Court. rem
dered by Judge Downey, which appears
this morning in the Sentinel, the law of
March 3, 1876, requiring legal notices to be

the courts of justice must be uniform.
The decision is presented in full. Its effect
will meet the approval of the state gener-
ally. Complaints against the law have

only answer to be made hitherto has been,
We are yet youns and 1t il best to wait for
ideas to develop and mature into the beat
designs. No citizen can ever walk around
the beautiful eminence without longing TO
see the grand opportunity improved for
illustrating the city and educating its peo-
pie by some work of sentiment and beauty.
There are other places suitable for military
monument such a. is now under conten-
plstion. Suffice to say, this matter is now
begun and is in good hands, as will soon
appear. But it Is we'll understood that sd-
vantage should be taken of favorable inn
pulse TO public sentiment. Such an impulse
was created last week. Now is the time
to increase its momentum instead Of
leaving its force to be spent without result.
Tomorrow the Sentinel will contain a
summary of TACT and information upon
this subject, setting forth in brief historic
descriptions of the chief monuments that
mark the events and eras of the world,
prepared by a committee that have al
ready made successful effort in this di-
rection. A subscription was started last
week and $4,000 have already been sub
scribed. We are persuaded that this
movement needs only to be properly
brought before our citizsns in order to in
sure its success.

frage key, placed in the organ in 1866. Not
wIshstsnding repeated efforts on the part of
the orgsnist this key still ''sticks." The
upper bank OF keys has been more re-
Gently added to the instrument, and con
tains one prominent key called the "green-
back" These ivories will be used exclu-
sively to play old tunes; they are to please
the old-tine friends of the senator. The
organ contains also golden key and
scarlet one. These sing the praises
of hard money and the bloody shirt. When
the finger of the organist presses the latter
key, the senator, who manages the stops,
will open wide the "grest dispsson." The
remainder of the ivories are to be kept in
reserve for new tunes. There may be sew
eral changes in the garment between now
and next summer, and space must be left
for these changes.
The Indiana State sentinel., 1875-10-21
Organ Tunes.

Now, that ex-lsw-ps partner Martindale
and brother-in-law Holloway own the
organ, we may expect some lively tunes.
A jig to the Southern "man and brother"
galop in the direction of the bloody shirt,
and a lancers' salute to the money lords of
the East will be in order.
Senator Morton is playing for the pres
idency, and must have an instrument that
will give forth no uncertain sound. A
broken key, an untimely pull upon the
stops, or the slightest pressure upon the
wrong treadle will destroy the harmony,
so he has taken the precaution to see that
the organ is put in complete order, and has
set up his old wpartner and his brother
in-law to furnish the music.
This instrument has now three banks of
keys, in the lowest one of which is a key
called Democracy" whose ivory has grown
yellow from age. Care is to be taken never
to touch that key, as its tone would create a
fearful discord in the present harmony. The
second bank contains an anti-negro suf-

The Journal says that the Sentinel did uot
display flag, while the Journal building
blossomed from foundation to turret. This
is not true. The Sentinel displayed the
largest flag in the city, and had it waving
welcome to the soldiers-conspicuous even
from the Union Depot, two ho1rs before the
Journal had the sign of a flag in the breeze.
1t is true, the Sentinel did not happen to
secure supply of the cheap bunting, st the
rate of fifteen cents hundred, that the
Journal displayed, nor feel it necessary to
sit in the window shaking a sample to prove
its recognition of the soldiers.

so necessary as a newspaper to take up the
matter at once, and stretch the wires In
such a method that they will properly
sound his key notes, and mould the
West into the acceptance of the idea
that TO Mr.. Morton, and to him alone,
must the Republican party look for a leader
in the approaching contest. This policy Is en-
tirely consistent with the general situation,
and since Mr.. Grants habits are such as to
render a chancs tor his denomination out OF
the question, who stands a better chance of
securing the position than Mr.. Mortonf 1t
only needs the proper setting forth that only
Morton can truly wave the bloody shirt, and
that the bloody shirt alone can secure an
o. her Republican triumph, in order to make
it certain that Morton will be the man. IN
view OF this fact, and a knowledge of
what use types and printing preez
are in such cases, we may look for pointed
and radical change in the conduct OF the
Journal. The blood runs cold and chill at
the very thought of the tales OF horror that
will fill its columns in the future. Special
correspondents from every point in the South
will rehearse every casualty on the Southern
plantations as the result of bloodthirsty
Democratic demonism, and every spanked
negro baby's cry will give a deeper tone of
sadness to the doleful wailing with which
the Morton organ will regale its readers.
The bloody shirt will faunt higher than the
goose ever hung. and the poor deluded
country that has been thinking of finance,
bad government, better tariff laws, and gen.
eral corruption in Office, will look on in
wonder that it had ever been forgotten that
the war was still raging.
The speech at the post Office last night,
which will be fully reported this
morning, with the announcement
of the change in the Journal,
will be the advance signal to Republicans
that have presidential aspirations, that Mr..
Morton enters the field to-contest, or rather
demand that free field be given, peaceably
if it can, but forcibly lift must. Altogether
we regard the events of yesterday, closing
with Mr.. Morton's address, as a political
coup d. etat that will awaken attention in
the Republican camp that will only cease
when the next Republican nomination is
made

Yesterday papers were signed by which
the newspaper department of the Journal
establishment passed into the hands of E.
b. Msrtindale and w. X. Holloway, Mr..
Ruckle retaining the proprietorship OF the
OBJ Office and the Journal buildings. The

the paper, G. E. Walker remaining still the
political editor o. the paper. The sale OF

at least, it has been offered to different par
ties. Doubtless the result in Ohio has pre-
cipitated the present transfer. 1t is we'll
known that Mr.. Morton considers the sue
cess of the Hayes ticket as due in
q great measure to his personal efforts
in the canvass, and that the glory
of that victoryh must inure to his benefit
and the furthersnce OF his ambitious as
pirations for the White House. What then

a Thin Excuse.

The Journal has an unsevered relation
10 the government at Washington. A
tender and judicious respect to said relation
has doubtless caused it to retrsct as far as
it can, It's attack upon Mr.. Grant, and offer
an excuse for his Don-sppearance at the re-
union, which it so berated few days ago.
1t now says that Mr.. Grant was invited, but
that pressing business at Washington de-
manded his presence there. To say nothing
of the recklessness OF the first charge of the
Journal, if the above were true, and the bit
ter injustice done to the president by rep
resenting him as ignoring the rank and file
of the army, the Sentinel ventures a few
questions to the Joornal which every in
suited soldier in the state would like to
have answered.
When and by what committee was Mr..
Grant invited to Indianapolis to attend the
soldiers reunion. We want the names and
dates. Who instructed or commissioned
Mr.. Morton to write him, and at
what date did Mr.. Morton send the
invitation! The Sentinel wants to pub
lish in Its columns a copy of the dispatches.
If Grant, Sherman, Sheridan or other
prominent generals were invited here in
the name of the soldiers OF Indiana, did
these distinguished men treat the Indiana
veterans with silent contempt? If not,
where are the answers, and why were they
not read at the gathering of the regiments?
The Sentinel wishes to publish these replies
for the satisfaction of the soldiers of Indiana,
Ifthe explanation of the Journal yester-
day was not simply subterfuge, an after
thought, we shall expect the Journal to
publish this correspondence in full. 1t is
especially due to the president. After such
foul aspersion OF General Grant, it is due
to him that the soldiers of Indiana shall SEE
Mr.. Grants own excuse. They will be bet.
ter satisfied with it than anything the Jour.
I nal can now say.
| If the Journal does not produce these
answers it places Mr.. Grant right where il
did in its first assault upon him. This whole
matter needs airing and the Journal can not
in the interest of Mr.. Morton, deceive the
soldiers, insult Mr.. Grant and then attempt
to settle it all by simply saying that Mr.
Grant could not come. The invitations anC
answers, the dispatches and replies, names
dates and all must be gwen. and then if the
Journal wishes to place itself right will
the soldiers and with the president, itshoulC
make clear and emphatic apology for the
insult offered to them.
AS the matter now stands prominen
soldiers, republicans and democrats, believ,
that there was studied purpose to ignor,
Mr.. Grant. They do not believe that he eve
was invited here, and that Morton's organ
added insult to injury by blowing him fo
not coming, and they believe further tina
the excuse the Journal made yesterday wa
but very bold subterfuge-and they will
still believe it until the dispatches are pub

Mr.. Morton's treatment of Grant is at
tracing attention at other points than here,
where the indignity was committed. The
soldiers who came here to see Mr.. Grant
and not to do honor to Mr.. Morton were de-
ceived, and they have not been slow to ex-
press their contempt for such a maneuver.
II Mr.. Morton had simply taken part in this
reunion as a statesman, made a statesmsn's
speech, all would have gone off pleasantly
and the people would not have missed Mr..
Grant. But when the pleasures of the re-
union were marred by the gospel of hate
that Morton inculcated, when they discov-
cred that self sggrandizement was at the
bottom of his heart, and came out to the
surface in every word and line that he ut
tered, they felt like turning away. The pa
triotic speech of Judge Gresham, exactly
responding fn the sentiments of true
soldiers, was a scathing rebuke to
Governor Morton, and he richly deserved
it. The soldiers did not wish to 60 home
with the Morton spirit in their hearts,
1t was enough if they were disappointed
to be fed now with hate. They wished TO
forget the past. and Gen. Gresham told
Morton so. This did much to defeat the
movement that Morton initiated. We do
not know if Mr.. Gresham had in his mind
the disrespect to Mr.. Grant, but whether
knowing it or not, his words were fitly
spoken. AS bad as Mr.. Grant is, he would
have uttered, if he had spoken at all, similar
words. But Mr.. Grant was not permitted
to speak for himself. Morton alone must
occupy the rostrum. Mr.. Grant must be
kept in the background. He could not
be invited to come here and greet his old
followers, for that would have been sure
datraction from MortOu
