indianapolis Correspondence.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 5, 1876.
To the Editor Of the Chronicle
The political wickedness of the party
lately in power in this city has been re-
buked in most signal manner, as your
readers have already learned. Ever
since the election of Mayor Mitchell
three years ago, the Democracy have
been going from bad to worse. Last
Spring the people of the city won vic
tory oyer them by the election of May
or Caven, bat they were too strongly
intrenched in the council to permit
them from being driven entirely out of
power. The Democracy having still
the control of the council, the new
Mayor was powerless to work reform
or to stay the increasing burdens of
taxation, or to improve the police force,
which was so constituted in general
ard in detail, as to be disgrace to the
city, for its inefficiency, and its own
shameless profigacy. But though the
victory of last Spring was not complete
vet it was sufficient to convince the
bosses" who rum this city, that the
hand of doom was reaching out after
them, and they expected it to close on
them this Spring. Something must be
done to prevent the catastrophe. There
were several reasons why it was neces-
sary to retain control Of the city. 1t
was desirable to the plunderers that

ROCHESTER, Ind, May Sth, 1876.
Editor RepubHcan:-I enclose you
three circulars issued by the Demo
cratic candidates for circuit Judge
The documents were designed to in
fiuence the Democratic primaries,
held in this county last Saturday
/ know nothing as to the truth or
falsity of the charges on either side,
but they at least prove that the con-
testants are unfit for the high office
to which they aspire. What spec
tacle is here presented A member
of the judiciary, distinguished in all
ages for its spotless purity and ex-
allied dignity, comes down from the
bench to handy epithets like black
guard. Corbin was the aggressor in
this war of mud. His circular was
distributed to the various townships
before Capron was aware Of its ex-
istence, and this gave the judge such
an advantage that he carries twelve
out of the fourteen delegates to the
joint convention. The feeling here is
one of intense disgust. The people
are determined to rid themselves OF
a Judge that can so disgrace himself,
and there is strong demand on Hon.
Sidney Keith to allow his name to be
used in this connection. Democrats
and Republicans alike unite in urg-
ing Mr.. K. to run, bat he will enter
into no contest for the nomination.
He is high minded and honorable
gentleman, possessing peculiar quail
fications for the bench, and a unani-
nous nomination should be rendered
him. Yours Truly,

The Goshen Democrat copies por-
ton of the infamous ISLANDERS upon Sen
ator Morton, recently published in the
Chicago Times, and quotes in full that
incident in which Judge Frazer Of
Warsaw, is made to figure in defense of
young lady. Can it be possible that
the Democrat had not seen Judge Fra
zer's indignant and emphatic denial of
the story? We shall certainly expect
that the Democrat will promptly make
the correction-nO we do not expect it
either. We expected the same thing,
once before, in regard to the Democrat
in precisely similar case, and were
disappointed We shall not again give
it credit for that much honor, in adj
vance.

OF all the ISLANDERS circulated by the
Democratic newspapers against leading
Republicans, there are none meaner,
nor one that belittles and disgraces them
more than the assertion that Senator
Morton instigated the charges against
Blaine. There is probably not a Dem
ocratic newspaper in the country, we
have seen none, that failed, before Mr..
Blaine's statement was uttered, to de-
nounce him as guilty, and also to de-
nOunce Senator Morton as the author
of the charges. Blaine has stamped out
the charges against him so effectually
that few have the decency to admit
that his explanation was full and COM
plete, and yet these have the base mean
ness to speak of the charges against
Blaine as MOrton's work. The thing
is too absurd for denial; and we allude
to it en- by to show to what a depth of ly-
ing iniquity the Democratic press has
been reduced.

Inc COMMITTEE of the Honse of

The Committee of the House of Rep
resentatives that began to investigate
the President on the use of money in
the city of New York, were switched off
the track, and found themselves inves-
tigating Democratic election frauds in
that city. They thought Davenport
knew all about the matter and he does.
He knows so much they would be glad
if they had never called him. But he
was determined to tell it all, and they
found him difficult witness to let go
of. They thought to Investigate the
President, and 10 they were investiga-
ting their own brethren in New York.

To the Voters Of Fulton County.
Cheating Works Never Prosper.

Horace Corbin is the present Judge
OF this circu it and a candidate for the
nomination. His only competitor is
A. c. Capron, Esq, Of Plymouth.
In order to obtain a mean and un-
fair advantage, Corbin told the can
didates for the different offices here
that Mr.. Capron had withdrawn from
the canvass, and was no longer a
candidate, when he well knew Mr.
Capron was a candidate, and he pro-
cured his name to be printed on the
tickets of all the different candidates.
Ought the Judge of our Circuit court
to be guilty OF such low and paltry
trickery?
And the same Corbin has publish
ed a scurrilous circular, In which he
charges his competitor as being in
the interest of one A. l.. Wheeler.
We have this to say about that mat
ter: Mr.. Wheeler was indicted, It Is

In sort of mixed victory, both parties

we are exceedingly gratifed at the
election of our friend Capt. Thomas as
Mayor He was made the special OBJ
Ject of the attacks of the Herald, which
resorted to the trick of publishing let

purporting to be from friend of Capt.
Thomas, and intended TO injure him

dlsreputable fraud was too transparent
to produce the effect intended.

it is not our mission to send peace,

The Democrats are so blue over the
late elections in Indiana that we would
suggest to them that they induce their
candidate for Governor to change the
color of his wearing apparel. Blue
jeans is rather suggestive of their pres
ent feelings But after all, the color is
appropriate enough. Aud their candi-
date can exchange the ''sky blue for
dark blue immediately after the Octo-
Der election.

Morton laid his hand on Springer and
the New York World, and closed
his fingers little on the Democracy of
Indiana in his remarks in the Senate
on Tuesday last, concerning the char
geS recently made about him in regard
to his use of money during the war.
They will not be likely to open up that
matter again. 1t is a gun that fires
backwards, and the investigators find
themselves terribly investigated.

A Heavy Failure.

One of the worst failures yet felt in
the east since the business depression
began, eliminated yesterday at North
Adams, Massachusetts. 1t was the
closing up of Harvey, Arnold & Co.'S
print works, and through them the
collapse of two smaller firms. The
total liabilities will exceed $l,00O,OO0,
and the assets, though of more value,
will not sell for enough to pay more
than half. All the mills stopped work,
and about 800 persons are thrown out
OF employment, while great many
employees lose money they had left
with the firm for safe keeping.

And me, in a way l despise.


According to Bret Harte, his ''heath-
en- Chinee' had ''twenty-four packs
concealed Sin his sleeves which were
long, And these Democrats had
long and capacious sleeves, which con-
cealed in their folds an ordinance for
the redistricting of the city. This was
the game they meant to play. For
some time they lacked one vote One
Democrat who had been elected by Re-
publican votes, declined for some time
to go with the majority, and consum-
mate the infamy. He seemed to be firm
but at length the Establishments of Gov
ernor Hendricks himself were brought
to bear on this man, Geiger, and he fell.
Then the outrage was carried through,
although it lacked but eight days of
the election, the ward boundaries were
changed, new election notices were is
sued, new judges and inspectors APP
pointed, and the managers thought
| they had manufactured enough Demo
cratic wards to give the city again to
that party, beyond all doubt. But lin
the game which ensued,n the people
took hand" No act of the party
city, and such determination to rebuke
the outrage. They flew to arms, not
with carnal weapons, but with the
weapons of Right and Justice, and a
determination to redress grievances.
The Republican sentiment of the city
was concentrated as never before. The
tide of popular feeling rolled Republican
ward from every direction, and swept
in hundreds of the better elements of
the Democracy, and all shades of polit-
zeal faith Besides the polls were
the Democrats were unable to vote the
hundreds of strangers whom they
brought here for the purpose, a thing
which they have done regularly for the
past three or four years. The result of
all was sweeping, crushing, grinding
Republican majority. The Republican
majority is more than 1900, the largest
ever given in the city.
Just after the polls had closed on
Tuesday evening, when the Democratic
roughs, ruffians and policemen knew
that tley had lost the day, they deter
mined on revenge, and provoked a riot,
resulting in murder. A false report
was brought into the fourth ward that
the negroes in the sixth ward were be-
ing In0bbed. This aroused the color
ed pc Ople and they started for the sup
posed scene of conflict. They were
met however, and turned back, upon
assurances that nothing was wrong
and were quietly dispensing to their
homes. when they were set upon by
some of the police, and a gang of ruff |
fans, who soon commenced firing upon |
them as they ran. They were driven
from street to street, and the pursuit |
and firing continued as long as a col
Ored man was in sight Seven or eight |
were wounded, two at least, mortally, |
one of whom has since died. The act
was wanton and unprovoked murder
