The Indianapolis Sentinel (Democratic)
tells US how it was that Indianapolis, which
went Democratic ten years ago. went Re
publican last Tuesday by 1900 majority.
1t says: Yesterday Indianapolis was
controlled by negroes. There are some
two thousand negro voters in this city, and.
on an average, they vote three times a
piece. They went in oavalcades, whooping
and bowling The carried their bludgeons,
their razors and their pistols to the polls
1t is safe to say that at least four thousand
fraudulent negro votes were polled, while
a thousand or more Democrats were kept
from the polls by the rioting negroes"
IF this is true the timid Democrats OF
the Hoosier capital ought to petition Presi-
dent Grant to station three or four regi-
ments of troops in that city TO protect
them in the exercise of the right Of
suffrage.

The missing letter" alluded to, is, we
believe, a letter from John Ziegler to
Mayor Butler, with a penciled request
from the mayor to Ad Interim Lundy to
call meeting of the council to act upon
the nomination of Charles Engel for street
commissioner The person from whom
THE ARGUS learned that 1T was in Walter
.Johnson's hands" is liar. Walter John
son never saw the letter, and the only in
formation he obtained as to its contents was
from AID Interim Lundy himself, after the
council had adjourned - Union.
1t is susceptible of proof that, at the
meeting of the council alluded to, Walter
johnson made an enquiry as to the con-
tents of Mayor Buffers note to Mr.. Lundy
asking him TO call meeting to act on his
nomination of Engel, and that the note was
handed to johnson in order that he might
learn Its contents; ard no one seems to
know anything Of the letter since, When
it comes to question Of veracity or of
memory between the persons present at
that meeting and Walter johnson we
think, if Walters vcracity don't suffer his
memory will. There won't be any doubt
as to who was in condition to be most like
iy to remember exactly what took place at
that meeting.

Politics In the Methodist Genera
Conference.

Conference.
On the 5ih, in the Methodist general
conference in session at Baltimore, when
the resolution concerning the transfer Of
the Indian Bureau to the War Depart
ment was under consideration, Republi
can blatherskite congressman from Ohio,
named Lawrence, who was delegate,
made violent political speech dcnounc-
ing the Democratic house of representa-
tivcs as caring very little about civilization
or christianity, and lauding the Republi-
can senate and Grant. The telegraphic
report of the proceedings says
Judge Cooley, OF Iowa, and General
Clinton i Fisk, of the St. Louis confer
ence, expressed regrets that political
issues or personal reference should have
been made, which was also Enthusiastically
the sentiment of the conference. The res
olution was referred to special commit
tee.
TIE report of the fraternal delegation
to the conference of the Methodist Church
South, at Louisville, in May. 1874, was
submitted. 1t detailed the events of their
visit and their reception by that body,
which was of the most kind and christian
character. The report says there is rea-
son to anticipate the presence among us
at an early day of distinguished represen-
tatives Of the Methodist Episcopal church
Syuth, who have been appointed to re-
spond to our greeting. May great grace
rest on each of them. 1t expresses the
hope that all uncharitable strife shall
be entirely cast out, and that all energies
be bent to that end. The report was re
ceived, and the delegation received vote
of thanks.

The st. Louis Republican in speaking
of Francis P. Blair, deceased, upon whose
estate letters of administration were
granted to the amount of $500, says:
ITO live fifty-four years and die worth
FIVE hundred dollars, is not making the
most Of ones opportunities, as times &C.
Francis P. Blair was evidently not the
man for the times, as times go; that is, if
mau is to be measured by the money
which he makes out of the times. He
ought to have been rich man, and Eoulu
have been if he had followed suit with
many other public men. He had the
opportunities, thousands OF them, but ne
seems to have missed them or passed them
by-for he lived to be fifty-four years old
and died worth only five hundred dollars.
He was the brains. blood, bone, muscle
and life of great political party in this state
for years, and when he was the supreme
power in this city and county. 1t does not
appear, however, that he ever made any
money out oft. He was three times men,
Der of congress, and at the beginning OF the
war was in such a position as chairman OF
! the military committee as to have the
pick of contracts and his own selection OF
war slush. He was singularly remiss, how
ever, in making hay while the sun shone.
Then he was made general, but there
was not much money in being a genera,
such as he was, for he was always pound,
ing away at the front, getting more kicks
than half-pence." He did not make any
thing by being general. Some generals
did, but somehow he had not the kDack of
it. Then he went to the United States
senate. Here was another golden oppor-
tunity. Some men have been known to
make handsome fortunes by going to the
senate, to 60 in poor, in fact. and come out
wealthy. 1t was not Blair's way. While
other public men were building fortunes.
in their way, and according to the ways OF
the times, he never appeared to care for
money. And so he died After living
fifty four years, and toiling, toiling toilng
as few men have done, he died, leaving
| five hundred dollars"
