lam Sealy, aged about rs, and Gibson
Eshtomibbee, both Choctaws, were
convicted of the same crime, the mur-
der of an old Choctaw man named
Finneg, an Indian doctor, and his
cook, colored woman. This was
near Stone Wall, in the Chickasaw
nation, about years ago. The mur-
derers called at their victims house
one evening to stay all night, and
during the night Gibson split the
old mans head open with an ak, and
ESealey beat the old woman to death
with a gun barrel. The murderers-
were tried for killing the woman, for
had only the Indian been killed, the
case would no t have been amenablc
in a u. S. court. Wilson told
woman of the affair, which soon
leaked out, andlead to their arrest,
trial and Condemnation.
The doomed men rose early this
morning, and all partook of hearty
breakfast, after which reprieve from
the president for Sanders was re.

The Repusssean First Gn..

Major Jonathan w. Gordon made q
speech last night at the Academy of Music
to respectable audience of people. In
point of literary ability it was ctaste and
elegant, and at times his rhetoric bordered
on the eloquent. Being read from the
manuscript, it did not carry with ise deliv-
cry any very enthusiastic response from
the audience. Indeed, it was rather above
the average lntellec5 of Republican gath
ering. 1t sounded very like an ol6-time
speech, for it discussed chiefly issues that
the theory of popular government and po-
litical parties, and the difference between
the Democratic and Republican policies,
he very unfairly represented tho .Democ-
racy as favering and upholding the doc
trine of secession, eoniounding it with the
doctrine Of state sovereignty, and in
illustration. of what he claimed as the
idea Of Republican nationality he
cited only Democratic presidents and
Democratic Congresses as maintain
ing. it and defending the perpetuity of
the union and opposing the doctrine Of
notification. he wisely avoided the issues
of the day, did not defend Ortbas Know

claim for the presidency. We can hardly
believe that this speech was provided for
by the central committee, or is just the
kind of send Of. key note, speech the party
of the state would like. But the major had
to be heard here some time, and such q
general discussion as he made would
better fit In just now than when the bloody
shirt harsngues really commence and
ths record OF the war govosnor is re-
hearsed. By the way, as Major Gordon
shot so wide of the mark in his speech
last night, and sighted lndiaDa's "fsvorite

The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1876-05-17

The Journal and the Cincinnati Gazette
which seem tt be partially edited by the
Republican Central Committee of this
state, publish detailed account OF the
expenses ofthe Supreme Court for the past
six years. The purpose OF this recital is
clearly evident, and is so shallow par
tisan trick that IL is scarcely worth while
to notice further than to call attention to
the fact that much of these were contracted
for Republican officers OF the court, audited
by Republican official, and much of the
expenses for debts contracted by the for
mer Republican Supreme Court, as will
be seen by reference to communication
elsewhere in the Sentinel this morning.
The fact is the expense of the Supreme
Court OF Indiana is mesgre compared with
that Of other States, and certainly no
great amount of extravaganza is displayed
in the chambers OF the judges. In Illinois
the Supreme Court is furnished with sepa-
rate and elaborate buildings, costing hun
dreds of thousands OF dollars, In three diff
erent localities of the state, in all OF which
there is more expense than in the Indiana
court, and the chambers of the judges,
seven in number, are furnished in the
highest style.
