The Amnesty Bill.
enough.

The contest over the amnesty bill hiss
ended, and the situation on the adjournment
of congress indicates the defeat of the bill
In fact, a. the case now stands, there is
nothing before the House on that subject.
There has been a useless waste of
time and nothing has been ac-
complished unless it is little
wisdom on the part OF those engaged in its
discussion. The case as presented before
the country cow is that bill rendering uni
verssl and unconditional amnesty has been
defeated. 1t was the evident purpose on the
part of the Republicans to provoke
the South to respond to the un-
called for attacks of Mr.. Blaine.
If his amendment had been &C
copied, doubtless other congressman had
other amendments that would have pro-
longed debate and eventually defeated the
measure. The gist of the whole matter is
that the Democracy desired to tender,
in this Centennial year, amnesty to
past political offenders, and the Republicans
opposed it. The responsibility of the dis
cussicn, with all its evil influences, must be
laid to the door of Blaine, who has Ger.

The amendment to the constitution linn
iting the tenure of the presidential Office to
one term of six years, introduced by Ran
dali, does not strike Us fsvoTably. Six
years is too long for poor president, and
four years too short for first rate one.
Let there be an end to amending the COZ
stitution. The Democracy will soon be in
power again, and as they did so well for SO
many years after the old fashion, that it is
probable the country would worry along fol
twenty or thirty years of this century with
the regular four years term. If it were Ger.
tain that the Republicans would carry the
day for another term, we should favor
shorts ming the time TO two years. But as

tn. hes OF Senator Morton and the preparation

prede, lessor appears as q real soldier and not
count arfeit one. Thus again is to be seen
the love the Republican party and the
love of Senator Morton for soldiers when
their places re wanted by brothers-in-law
and generals { the peace establishment.
But, perhaps the best exemplification OF
the deep love and affection borne for soldiers
by the Republican party Is the case of Capt.
King. Capt. King was a soldier, and in
every way qualified to discharge the duties
OF the Office of collector of internal revenue.
During the official term of Mr.. Hogate be

office, and executed bis trusts with fidelity
to the government and to the satisfaction of
the people. By the rules of the civil service
that service which Senator Morton declared
to be the best in the world-he was
entitled to the Office on the death of his
principal. But to show the affection of the
administration for soldiers and it's graf
itude to those who bore their couniry's flag
amid the smoke of battle and carnage of
war, Captain King was made to stand aside

soldier clerks by the House of Representa-
tives at Washington. Their assurance is
only equalled by their mendacity.
But after all there are more Union soldiers
still In the employ of the House of Represen-
tatives now than there were under radical
rule. With one hundred and fifty-three
places to be filled, the poor wounded Union
soldiers got just eighteen last session. while
the economy of the Democratic Houss has
reduced the number of employees to eighty
FIVE, they have given twenty-six to these
soldiers. With all this hue and cry for party
effect the Democratic House has shown
more concern for the Union soldiers than
did the Republicans with all their loya
bowling,

Republican Love for Soldiers,

The Republican party is making much
complaint of the dismissal of the Republi-
can employees by the House of Representa-
been Union soldiers. 1t is a sufficient
answer to this complaint that the Republi-
can party never appointed a Union soldier to
Office unless he voted the party ticket, and
that fighting in the confederate ranks is no
bar to political preferment under Republi-
can rule. From the latter class of men
General Grant once chose a cabinet officer,
and the rebel General Longstreet has been
an office holder and trusted adviser of the
federal administration ever since it came
into power. But for the benefit of the
Journal and other radical papers in Indiana
which have been so shocked at the
action of the Democratic House, we
will speak of few things nearer home.
When General Grant became president there
was hot struggle for the indianapolis post
Office. One of the applicants for the place
was General Dan. Macauley, a gallant SOL
dier of the Union army, who suffered priva-
lions and wounds and disease that the coun-
try should have but one flag and one
destiny. His successful opponent was q
man dubbed colonel, but who earned bis
title by labors in the peace establishment
He could not, like the Moor of Venice,
talk
"Of moving accidents by flood and field.
or hair-breadth scapes 4 the imminent deadly
BREACH"
but he could dilste upon the ability with
which he could organize campaigns upor
ballot-boxes, and the vigor of his attacks
upon the rights of Democrats to vote. Bu
greater than his campaigns and more
powerful than bis battles was his
nearness to those in power, and the
right he had to be called brother
n-lsw by the senator from Indiana
And although a wounded Union soldier wal
not turned out to give him place,
wounded Union soldier was pushed aside
that he might have Office and profit.
Next in the catalogue of Union soldiers
kicked out of office to give place to corn
stalk generals is Captain Charles w. Brouse
This gentleman was pension agent at In
disnapolis, an Office gwen him as a reward
for his gallsntry In the field and his devo

of members fully sixty thousand dollars was
sent to the Kansas sufferers, which added to
the appropriations made by the State Grange,
makes not less than seventy-6ye thousand
dollars given by the graDgers to the grass
hopper sufferers in way so quiet and I'M
obtrusive that the fact was perhaps never
known to the public before. As regards
the affairs OF Secretary Moody, concern
ing which some comment has been
made in public, a report published
elsewhere made by a careful committee al
ter an exhaustive examination shows that
he is as thoroughly intrenched in honesty
as be is in the confidence of his brethren.
He could have been reelected without OPP
position had he not preferred to decline the
honor and the duties of the Office for an
other term. A review of the field shows
that the membership OF the order is con-
stantly increasing. Furthermore it's methods
and work are improving. New enterprises
are constantly being set on foot to
enhance the profits of the farmer by
giving him his share of the fruits
of bis labor. His produce is
marketed directly and in bulk, his farm i'm
pigments and articles OF household use are
either manufactured by the grange or
obtained at low prices, so that In various
! ways a saving is made to the producer of
his goods by the cooperative system. The
order does not propose to mix in party pol
! itics as a society, but it does give expression
to views on matters of public concern and
OF the highest moment to the country. On

The state Grange.

The fact that the Patrons of Husbandry
now exceed in numbers any other secret or
ganization in this state is scarcely as re-
msrkable as the short period OF their growth.
In 1871 the order had only just begun to
take root in the northwestern counties OF
the state. Valparaiso, in Porter county, was
its strongest hold and headquarters. Its
modest secretary, VIM. B. Keen, then also
the county school examiner, began to find
all he could do in the organization of new
oranges and the appointment of deputies to
visit new fields. To-day the state reports
2O2S oranges with 800 members and treas
ury of about 1000 cash in hand. A
report in another part of this paper
shows that the State Grange has dis
bursed over twenty-five thousand dollars
during the year 1874, the greater part o.
which, it may be added, was bestowed IL
charity upon the needy. When it is added

Tue government dockyards of
France have for months past been un-
usually active. Shipbuilding is being
conducted with yigor. and great efforts
are being made to place the French
navy on an efficient footing Evidence
of this is not wanting, for a short time
ago our correspondent at Paris noticed
the Redoubrable powerful ironclad,
which has Just been added TO the navy
and only for thnight ago the Anna
mite was launched at Cherbourg. Up
TO the present time the French navy,
both in construction and administra
ton has been content to move IN Z
narrow groove; and the government
relying, apparently, on the prestige OF
success in Ironclad construction fifteen
years ago, has been blind OF indltfer-
ent TO the rapid progress Of modern
ideas, ard has disregsrded the steadl-
ness Of their advance. Thus the navy
of France has been singularly def
cient in TWO classes of vessels which
were introduced iD the United States,
and have been brought TO a high
ale Of perfection IN this country.
