INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 10, 1875.
1t is but one little month since the
news of Mr.. JohnsOn's death thrilled
the American heart. and yet his name

his immediate friends and by an Occa-

TUESDAY. AUGUST 81, 1875.
EVENT and COMMENT

The widow OF Abraham Lincoln
has sufficiently recovered, to be per-
mitted 20 leave the Asylum and pass
under the control and vigilance Of her
family friends. No longer then does
she in the imaginary royalty Of her
GethrOned reason, continue to reign IN
the Presidential Mansion, and gaze on
the fawning figures of foreign cour-
tiers. So out she passes from the gill
dcd dreams Of wild fancy, into the So
Der things Of dull reality.
The Georgia insurrection is ended.
The deluded negroes who fOllJwcd, are
discharged, and Judge HershelI v.
johnson, once Governor, and at one
lime candidate for Vice Presidency,
holds a special term Of bis court, 10
trv the Tingleaders. The conspiracy
was a reality, and was nipped III its
biOOd!ess era.
The Sioux Indians are both sharp
and stubborn, and have now resolved
lhat they will not sell the Black Hills
at all. They also claim seven million
d,llars damage for the depTadatiOns Of
the whites in the diggings. As this is
Just the amount we paid for Alaska
we hope they viii take that Territory
IN full pay. If 50 we make personal
appeal to the administration TO close
with them.

charge has gone into history a testi-
mony Of the valOr of Confederate sol
dieTs, that will never fade.
And the fame Of the men that made
it, is known throughout the world.
Like the charge of the six hundred at
Balaklava, like the charge Of the Irish
Brigade a. Fredericksburg, like the
charge Of Mahope's Brigade at the
Crater it was a deed of desperate
valOr that not alone a country bu.
the world is prouod Of, and the men
that did it will live in story as long as
brave deeds are appreciated and de-
voted patriotism admired,
Bat few days ago the central
figure Of that story lived and walked
upon our streets. Now he is gone,
and the name Of Pickett is added to
the list Of our dead heroes So, one
after another they go, one after
another pass over the river and rest
under the shade. One after another
leave the scenes Of their glory and
the land Of their love. But they do
not pass into Oblivion. No the world
honors them with its praise, the South
embalms them in its tears. Virginia

and the eutire force are actively on

late in the afternoon to make every
thing as secure as possible. When
they were on the roof Mr.. Noe ex-
pressed great anxiety in regard to the
ease with which person could come
up through the building that was
erecting next door and enter the
warehouse through the scuttle. Mr.
Perego stated that there were large
amounts of valuable fixtures in the
upper stories that could be easily
made UP into bundles of 100 ponnds
each, These would be worth about

entered Yesterday he thought, came
only to reconnoiter, but would have
made up the most valuable property
into bundles if he had found the
coast clear. Sometime later the
gang would have returned to the
spot and carried them. away. Mr
Noes anxiety prompted him to come
to the warehouse early, and he has
probably saved the valuable sock at
the expense Of his life.
