safely ensconced in the White House,
would speedily restore the purity, the dig
nifty, the simplicity, the economy and the
integrity that prevailed during the admin
istrations of the earlier presidents"
General Dunn is a clever. genial gentle
man, but his best friends do not claim for
him great ability or the qualities which a
wise and successful ruler should possess.
He has integrity and culture. and is not
wanting in physical and moral courage, but
he has not the breadth of mind of General
Harrison ner the audacity and boldness OF
Senator Morton. What may be his strength
in Southern Indiana the Sentinel does not
know, but it seems he can not count upon
the support of the Republican paper
published in his old home. The
Madison Courier calls him sour tried
friend, !" but says the Indiana Republicans
have their armor on ready to fight under
the lead of Norton" General Dunn is
therefore without support in the city of bis
former home, and the Republican paper
published there goes back on him and de-
clsres for the hero of the bloody shirt. This
may seem strange to the general and unae-
eountaDle to his friends, but there is a rea-
son for it, and good one, too. The Madi-
son Courier is edited and published by M
G. CARRIER, probably the oldest member Of
the Indiana press, but not the oldest post
master in the state by odds. He is one oil
the trio of Republican politicians in Jeffer-
son county who for years tried to break the
power OF Senator Morton and consign him
to private life. His candidate for governor,
d. @. Brsnhsm, and himself spent much
time and made great exertions to kill off the
senator, but CARRIER, being student of the
Bible and believer in its truths, concluded
it was no use for him to longer kick "agsinst
the pricks" and sounded truce. The truce
brought a parley, and the parley
gave him the Madison postoffice.
Tho effect was magical. Catnip tea
never stopped the cholic pains OF a baby
more effectually than did the postoffice sap
heal the jaundiced ailments of the editor.
Like quinine for malaria it was a specific,
and the diurnal complaints of the Courier
were cured at once. 1t now sees beauty
where it once saw deformity, craftsmanship
were it once beheld demagogism, and q
suitable man for the presidency in one
whom it once deemed unworthy of seat in
the Senate. The medicine has worked well,
and the doctor who gave it is now oetting his
pay in the way of boost to the presidency.
Evidently the senator made no mistake in
the Madison postoffice, and placed it "where
it would do the most good"

BULKY BATCH OF LETTERS PRODUCED IN
OBEDIENCE To ORDERS FISH's FIRST
NOVEMBER INSTRUCTIONS.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-The president to-day
enclosed the letter of Mr.. Fish and copies Of the
correspondence to the House of Representatives
in response to a resolution of that body calling
for copies of the CORES pondence in relation TO
the Cuban question. The documents are vo-
luminous and comprise much that has hereto
of November last the secretary OF state ad-
dressed two letters to Minister Cush-
ing at Madrid, the first of which
refers to the neglect of Spain to
November, 1873, and particularly IN relation to
the trial of Burriel, according 20 the terms the
said protocol. Itappears that no steps had been
taken to that end by the Spanish government,
but that 1t was even then discussing certain
abstract questions, when it should be making
communication from the United states. The
secretary says: "It has been and is our de-
sire to adjust this and every question,
and In this desire we have been pressed almost
you have again been instructed 70 represent 20
Spain the injury thst her course in reference to
Gen. Burrtel involves to both countries and its
effects upon our relations, and therefore
it is earnestly hoped that this representa-:
ton may be received and responded
10 in the same spirit. Whether this
question shall precede or follow the treaty Ques-
ton or the confiScation is left to your dis
cret1On." On the fifteenth OF NOvemb Der, a tel
gram was sent by Mr.. Cushing to Mr.. Fish, stat
the assurance of the trial of Burriel. On the
same date, Novemb Der Is, 1879, the secretary of
state also addressed another communication TO
Mr.. Cushing, which Is as follows

at once takes away all right to hold Office.
Mr.. O'Brien was doubtless not aiming at
consistency In penning this section.
But the second section of the
amendment is rare piece of
off-hand work. That would settle
forever the sectional question. Into this sec
ton he precipitstes the preachers too. BE
is not willing to let them have anything to
do with the public schools, or any COL
legiate institution endowed or supported
by the state. Though the little inconven-
ience would insure of having to dismiss
| almost half of the professors in our colleges,
and generally the most accomplished, that
would make no difference Mr.. O'Brien with
his inner light has discovered the great
danger that would follow the letting of these
religious teachers give instruction in chem
istry, mathematics and moral philosophy,
and he lays his hand upon tbem and
tells them that a religious test debars them
from Office. Truly, Mr.. O'Brien has broad
conception of things. What a nice iumbled
mess of inconsistencies he would introduce.
He seems to be possessed of a
holy horror of preachers. How terrible the
i WT6Ck Oh LQlS IdlI lhbIlC Vi AuCAlOin IACC-
dom if preacher should happen to get into
Office under the state or national govern
menti 1t appears frightful indeed They
would at once turn things upside down, hence
it would be dangerous to let them lemain.
True, there has been little experience of a
hundred years on this subject. But all Of
that must pass for nothing. This new light
at once squelches the whole fraternity.
How did Mr.. O'Brlen attain to such wis
dom? How long has he had experience of
the utter incspacity of ministers for pOliti-
cal duties? 1t is wonderful that he did not
think of prohibiting their right to vote. MIR.
O'Brien is in bad way, and the
relief he seeks with his smeniments
ought to be granted, at least to the end of
his own relief in a safe delivery after his
terrible mental effort. This amendment
would shine out beside the amendment al
ready incorporated in the constitution. Its
elegant diction shows the maturity
of his thoughts. Mr.. O'Brien may
feel constrained to urge tie passage of his
amendment. If he does, it is to be hoped
that he will get some one to revise what be
has written. Otherwise, taken altogether,
we don't care to sac it made part of the
constitution.

ner, jacob NJ. Kunkel, and in
vested It in timber and coal lands among
the Alleghenies. He left Frederick and
went upon these lands to develop them. For
years he lived hermit life in a small house
on slope OF the Allegheny mountains, but
his time was not wasted. He devoted his
energies to developing his lands. to opening
bis mines of coal and in getting his timber
to market. This venture proved profitable,
and by it he was enabled to pay off his debts
and have handsome property left.
When the rebellion broke out, he left bis
hermitage on the mountain, and came back
into the world again. He espoused the
cause of the Union and devoted all his ener-
gies to its defense. Mainly by his exertions
5000 men were enlisted for the Union army
in Western Maryland. He was offered a
military appointment in order to command
hem, but declined it, preferring to serve his
country in another way. He was, in the fall
of 1861, elected to congress and three times
reelected. There was no man in congress
from the South, with perhaps the exception
of Andrew Johnson, who did so much to
sustain the administration of Mr..
Lincoln in prosecuting the war as he.
Indeed, like most Southern Union
lists, he favored ultra measures
to suppress the rebellion. After the war
was over, and Maryland had swung back
into conservatism, he offered a resolution in
congress tor the appointment of a committee
to inquire whether or not Maryland had q
Republican form of government. His ultra
UnioDism alienated from him most of his old
political friends, and when he left congress
he went back to bis home in the mountains
Here he lived with shousekeeper as his only
companion and devoted his time to his official
duties as collector of the internal revenue, and
the care of his large landed and mining in
terest. Subsequently he was chosen by the
president to represent the government as
minister to Peru, and only returned from
that mission about one year ago.
It will thus be seen that the life of Gov
Thomas was an eventful one, and it is sad
tina. it came to such tragical end. During
the most active part of his career he would,
at times, disappear from the public eye, and
retire to the quiet of his home. He used to
say that when pressed down with care and
tempest tossed his Ararat was his sncestorial
home near the banks of the Potomac
where he could bury himself to recuperate
his wasted energies.
One by one the men who helped to make
our country great and powerful are gath
cred to the graves OF their fathers; one by
one these who came to her rescue in the
hour OF her trial are called to receive their
eternal reward, and it well becomes us who
survive them and enjoy the blessings they
did so much to achieve, to perpetuete their
memories by recording their valiant deeds.
With all his eccentricities and his faults,
Francis Thomas did much for his country,
and deserves to be remembered among
those whom the nation should delight to
honor.

this great nation, does this very wicked thing
What, is there no progress in civilization as
thecsnturies 90 by? Is reason never to
have sway as against brutal force guided by
the malignant passions of the human soul?
Is our common Christianity in this country
to pass for nothing? Have our colleges
taught nothing of morals? Have our pull
pits re- echoed peace and good will entirely
in vain? Have our free schools developed
no truer principles of manhood than
Mr.. Morton represents? Alas, for the
day when the American people will make
these confessions by following such leader
as Oliver P. Norton! He is the representa-
tive of no distinctive principle in public
polity or morality that would warrant the
American in trusting his judgment in the
one or his example in tho other. Clothed
with the power of state, his ambition would
be dangerous to the perpetuity of our free
institutions. If the Republican party desire
the well-being of the country, if they
would secure the prosperity of true
peace, let them select another
man. Not his feeble imitator, Blaine. Give

become the first city to indorse Mr.. Morton
for the presidency. But what could that
city of the falls do toward electing him? 1t

If New Albany Democrats should, in their
primary meetings, indorse Mr.. Hendricks
for the presidency, they would mean by the
vote that they would send up thousand or
so majority in favor of that distinguished
gentleman at the November election. Such
an Endorsement would be worth some
thing.

Corn Commerce.

New York City is in considerable distress
about her declining trade and commerce.
Her commercial press freely admit that one.
fourth of her grain trade has been diverted
away from that port to other points. The
Bulletin makes the following statements
and admissions:
The aggregate of foreign exports from Chicago
over the Lake Shore and the Fort Wayne roads
last year lS6, us tons, equal to thirty-eight
ocean steamer cargoes of 5000 tons each. OF this
total the Lake Shore carried 6,4l4 tons, which
was divided between the seaports as follows:
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1876-01-24


tons in 1874, while in 1875 1t was q, 3Ol tons.
Baltimore now boldly claims to be the head
quarters of the corn export trade, while
Philadelphia and Boston are both rapidly
increasing the volume of business which
passes through their channels from the
West. Various reasons are given to explain
the diversion away from New York. 1t is
suggested, among other things, that Com
modore Vanderbilt has discrimina ted lately
in favor of Boston, and further, that he has
purposely allowed through freight to be
drawn off upon other lines that he might
give greater attention to the more profita-
BILE business of local transportation over
short distances. They charge that if Van
derbilt has not caused the diver
sion of trade from New York
he has at least permitted it.
But it is hardly fair to hold the old rail-
road king accountable for all the short
comings of New York. That arrogant and
crusty old Dutch town knows very well
what hardships, sacrifices and losses she
has put upon shippers to her port for long
years how she has refused to furnish such
facilities for handling stock and grain and
to make such rules as enterprise and honesty
demanded. She has been warned, her own
press has been faithful in the matter to warn
her of the consequences of indifference.
Those warnings begin now to be fulfilled,
and, too late, the great metropolis wit
nesses the beginning of decay in her
trade and commerce. It Will be
long, however, before her strength
will be greatly affected. Being the money
csnter of the country, capital viii msinl air

complains is good omen. Our interest ID

OF the 1875 tons of Chicago through exports,
only 26,582 tons, or one fifth OF the whole, has
gone through the port of New York. To what
extent this diversion of trade from New York is
increasing may be inferred from the fact that
the through export transportion from Chicago,
done over the Fort Wayne line was only $500
tons in 1874, while in 1875 1t was &c, 30l tons.
