The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1876-01-05

Contraction of the currency still goes on.
The bondholder and money-lender tightens
the cords which bind the debtor class, and
Is happy. A few more turns of the financial
screw and his felicity will equal that of
Parrhssius, as he gszsd on Prometheus:
"Chained to the cold rocks of Mount Caucasus,
The vultures at his vitals and the links
OF the lame Lemnian fostering in his flesh ;"
The people can loosen these cords if they
will and take the vultures off the PROSTATE
form OF public prosperity, but will they
do IL?

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5.

The Journal admits to its columns an
announcement that ex-senator Pratt is
spoken of as a candidate for the presi-
dency, who has not a ghost of a chance of
attaining that position, but it still refuses
to print anything favorable to the nomins-
ton of Mr.. Harrison, who might become a
formidable rival to the war governor.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1876-01-05

The Journal has very sneakiug way of
intimating what it has not the courage to
assert boldly. Yesterday it published
a story about man losing letters in the
postofflce at New York, who had written to
the postmaster general at Washington, and
asked an investigation, which, being thor
oughly entered upon by the department, it
was discovered that the man pretending to
lose the valuable letters was insane. The
inference to bs drawn is too plain TO need
meniior, but il the department az Wash
ington had be ca as diligent in looking after
lost letters here, the statute of limitations
would not have rendered a prosecution
futile, nor would the investigator or detec-
tive found the loser very insane either.

COMMUNICATION.

Mr.. Editor-In the coming convea-
tons for State aud County officers, the
people should be careful in tie selection
of their candidate; not to vote for any
man for any Office who constantly OPP
posed every measure tending to relieve
them of their present embarrassments.
Let them examine the journal of the
two last Legislatures and see who OPP
posed the interests of the people by
the defeat of the laws against usury and
the support of every measure proposing
TO advance the interests of monopolies
and banking institutions Among those
OF the last Legislature who constantly
defended the measures pertaining to the
relief of the masses against the oppres-
sion of usurers and monopolists with
firmness, dignity, and ability, was the
Hon. w. T. Ice of Barbour No man
is more worthy of the peoples support
for the Office of Attorney General than
he. On him the people could rely with
perfect security. Moses S. Grantham
of Berkeley and F. L. Enoch of Writ,
were always on the side OF the people,
and are each deservedly worthy of a
place on the State ticket. They would
have the support of
MANY VOTERS.

Our next Candidate for Governor.

Mr.. Editor-As the time is rapidly
approaching for holding our State Con-
ventiou. we should look around tor q
suitable champion to bear the demo
cratic conservative banner successfully
through the canvass. 1t seems to be
conceded that the candidate whoever
he may be, shall come from the third
district, as that section of the State has
not heretofore had candidate for the
Office. Now we want man whose III
terssts are thoroughly identified with
the great masses of the people, whose
private and public characteris far above
suspicion, and who is capable and hon
est, aud possessing all the necessary
qualifications to discharge the duties
pertaining to the office satisfactorily and
faithfully. Such man is the Hon. >.

the phrase 'drivcn to DEATH" implying

not one that SO powerfully counteracts the
effects of fatigue as Hostetter's Stomach

which nothing can wholly compensate,
it is the best and safest resource Of those

Farmers, can you stand It:

1t would seem to be but sheer justice,
and the promptings of common honesty
to practice ordinary respect towards
those who produce our food, and bear
the heaviest burthens.
When you come to classify society,
and analyzs it, you must admit that the
acriculturaist stands necessarily first In
his vocation, as the producer OF those
things essential to sustain our vitality;
at this point, strip human character
of the devices of artificial adornment,-
aud mans muscle has met and provided
for the wants of map,-but right here
commences what the fancy writer calls
progress, and he who honestly adheres
to the GUILTY. alton of ''mother earth, is
sneeringly cognomated "clod hopper,
this could however be patiently and
fergivingly endured, for its evident out
cropping of limited minds, who have
hastily forgotten their ancestors call
ing. But when we come seriously to
consider the all important role which
the husbaudman plays in our social and
material system, it is a matter OF sur
prise that pretentious arrogance and I'M
pertinent assumption, has assumed to
dwarf the sturdy men of the field, by
ignoring their right and fitness, to occu-
py what is classically termed the honor
ed position in society this too could
be endured, and laughed to scorn, for
muscle could assert its power, but the
concomitants of these assumptions are
crushing in their effects. Men frequent,
ly gain position by their pretentions and
sophistry, and straightway forget the
hand that elevated them, and even
cvnce fervid hate, by connecting, Or
uniting in burthensome systems of tax
alton, thereby crushing his elevator,
and pandering to the wants and de-
mands of profigacy and dishonesty.
In 1861 the entire expenses OF the
General Government, per annum, was
about eighty millions of dollars, an ave
rage of 81 50 per capita, now it is over
seven hundred millions or nearly TWEEN
ty dollars per head for every man NO
man aud child both white and black.
Add to this your State, County, district
and municipal tax, and the wonder i
how can the Farmer stand it, for tho
profits to no other class IS less, and no
other class pays in heavier proportion,
in fact Banks and other monopolies are
comparatively free from taxation.
Farmers, can you stand it Nothing
can or will bring you relief but concert
OF action, aud intelligent voting.

CLIPPINGS.

Ed. Register-We are rather scarce
Of items this week, so will write rath-
or short letter. Well, the snow has
come at last, and gone again, and sad
to relate, that ''youug disciple OF the
yard-stick" We wrote you Of did not get
a sleigh-ride after all. Poor fellow ne
is very sad, but is earnestly looking tor,
ward to another snow. The debate did
no, como off last week owing TO the
meeting at the NJ. 2. church. Mr;
Grouse is still preaching to large and
attentive congregations. Several Penl-
tents have presented themselves at the
altar.
A serious loss was sustained on Sat
urday morning, by. our young towns
man Jas. w. Myers, Esq. A valuable
horse belonging to him got out OF the
stable, and in running across the lot fell
into an old well which had been cover
cd with loose boards, and the boards
being covered with snow prevented him
from seeing the opening. Efforts were
made to get it out but it had fallen in
such way that it was impossible and
in half hour he was dead.
We have read your Changers depart
meut with interest and think it very
good idea. Now would it not be
good thing to have a small space in
your paper devoted to the Temperance
Ordersi 1t is no use denying it, the
Good Templars and other orders are
spreading rapidly in this section and
will sson be power in the land. We
merely suggest this idea thinking that
perhaps it would interest some OF your
readers to see the doings of the Tenn
plsrs every week. This will do for the
present. Respectfully,

THE BATTLE OF GETrYsBURG.-The
New Orleans Republican publishes a
letter written by Gen. James Long
street, in July, 1868, and addressed to
his uncle, A. B. Longstreet, in which,
speaking OF the battle of Gettysburg,
he says "The battle was not made as
would have had it. My idea was to
throw ourselves between the enemy and
Washington, select strong position,
and force the enemy TO attack us. So
far as is given to man the ability to
Judge, we may say with confidence that
we should have destroyed the federal
army, marched into Washington, and
dictated our terms, or at least held
Washington, and marched over as much
of Pennsylvania as we cared to, had we
drawn the enemy into attack upon our
carefully chosen position in his rear"
General Lee, in letter written to
Gen. Longstreet in January, 1864, says:
Glad l taken your advice (at Gettys-
burg) instead of pursuing the course |
did how different all might have been. "
Captain Il. J. Goree, of Houston, Texas,
in letter to General Longstreet, says ::
Another important circumstance, which
I distinctly remember, was in the win
ter of 1864, when yon sent me from
East Tennessee to Orange Court House
with some dispatches to General Lee.
Upon arrival there Gen. Lee asked me
into his tent, where he was alone, with
two or three Northern papers on his
table. He remarked that he had just
been reading the Northern official re-
ports of the battle OF Gettysburg; that
he bad become satisfied, from reading
those reports, that if he had permitted
you to carry out your plans on the third
day, instead of making the attack on
Cemetery Hill, We would have been
successful"

To Miss l.. A. W., Of Va.

BY MEMO.
When thy heart is sad, and weary
OF this world Of woe and sin,
When life seems dark and dreary,
Think of me-think of me then.
When love and peace surround thee,
And friends thy praises sing,
Wilt thou not think Of me
And this my offering?
When at the evetide hour,
Upon thy Bonded knee,
Thou seekest higher power,
Wilt thou not think Of me!
When thy path is strewn with flowers,
And life seems bright to thee,
Say, in those joyous hours
Wilt thou not think Of me?
When with grief thy hearts bowed
down,
And thy soul pants to be free;
When fortune wears frown
wilt thou not think of me?
when death thy spirit claims
And earth is lost to thee,
As thy soul bursts through its chains
Wilt thou not think Of me!
