Aradical WA, from Indians.

WASHINGTON, September 21.-The
cry for help from the Republicans in
Indiana has come up in a long shrek
in letter read to-day from a very
prominent Republican in that State in
which it is requested that every In
diana clerk in the departments here be
sent out at least two weeks before the
election, in order that he may contri-
butte his personal efforts as well as his
vote to the Radical campaign. The
letter says if the State is carried at all
for the Republicans it will be with
great difficulty, and every nerve
must be strained now or all will be
lost. Thus far it admitted that the
Democrats lhave the advantage. The
letter has created such a decided flut-
ter that its contents lec,led out in the
excitement.

TRENATIONAL CANVASS.
THE REPUBLICAN PLOT AGAIN ST
IHE LlBER rY OF INDIANA,

MEN ALREADY SENT FROM PHILADELPHIA
TO DEBAUcH THE OCTOBER ELECTION.
From the Special Correspondent OF the World
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2l.-Since nv
letter OF yesterday | have received fur
ther corroboration of the facts therein
stated. Not only has the scheme to car
ry the Indiana election by impcr,ei re-
peaters been organized but scme OF these
who are to aid In the execution of tbe
plan have already left for Ohio and In
diana. Both States are embraced in the
planned and organized attack on the
purity of the ballot-box under the sk;lle /
and scientific leadership of the Philadel-
phia Republicans. The attention of the
State and local committee in both of
those States cannot be called to this plot
| one day too soon. The scheme is so we
| matured that it is only by the most nor
| feet organization and the stationine of
watchers at the polling places, mo- enly
while the vote is being pollad, but also
| when it is counted, that it can be do
feated. The Republicans have plenty of
tools for such work and are paying llber.
| ally for the right kind of men to execute
| their plan.
This morning met the gentlemen IN.
on whose authority the statement in
yesterdays letter were given, and have
questioned him closely in regard to tbe
cunning scheme. He notonly sustians a ii
| of his former assertions, but assures me
that the parties who have arranged that
programme are determined to carry II
out, and that in addition to those who
are to be sent from this city, picked men
are to be sent from New York and from
| Pittsburg, and that they are to be paid
all expenses and 800 each in addition.
1t also appears from this same person 8
statement that this scheme was ACTUALLY
worked in Ohio at the election of HAYES

the bogus tickets were adroitly dropped
into the ballot-boI at interv ] during
the day, instead OF waiting unit" the
boxes were being emitted for the pur.
pose of counting. The ballot-boxes il
all OF the cities and most of the populou,
towns of Ohio, he asserts, were worked
IN that n"nner, and that it was by that
process aione that Hayes was enabled /,
secure his majority over Alien. The Re
publicans in portions of Ohio hayiu,

Successful Cultivation of
Turnips.

We gave an account a year ago
of the admirable turnip crop on the
| farm of Jas. Wood, of Westchester
County, N. Y, consisting of two
acres of Yellow Aberdeens, which
was the most regular and hand.
some that wo ever happened to
meet with. The plants were in
rows 80 inches apart, and the roots
eight inches in the row, with scarce.
ly a missing space in any. The
seed had been raised on this farm
for many years; and had gradually
improved by selection. In pri-
vate letter from Mr., Wood, (ot which

ter Just received from q friend in
England is this sentence, Il have
seen many turnip fields in England,
but none equal to the one you
showed me on your place just be-
fore l left The turnip crop this

I ever raised before. l am becom-
ing more and more convinced of
the value of turnips as winter feed

subsequently five years myself, by

come much greater in value in our

that from our personal inspection of
the beautiful crop on this place last
year, we were fully satisfied that
it would give at least 900 bushels
per acre., 900 having been OBJ
tanned in some seasons, and 900 at
least being the average.

To some of our neighbors who pretend
to be skeptical about fraudulent voting
in Indiana we commend the exposures
made by the Louisville Co,rier-J -Jaurnal
and quoted elsewhere. They had better
ponder, too, this little fact in regard to
the vote of indianapolis last spring: In
dianapolis cast in the municipal cleo
tion Of May 2 16,416 votes. Its popula-
tion according to the census of 1870 was

AN ARGUMENT FOR THE TEXAS PA.
OIFIO.

The communication sent on Tuesday, Fob
ruary LIST, from the War Department to the
House Committee on Mexican Border Troubles
is q strong argument in favor of the speedy
construction of the Texas Pacific Railway.
With this as means for the rapid trsnsporta-
ton Of troops through the worst of the hostile
Indian country and along the northern line
of Mexico few companies of soldiers would
do as much in the way of protection as that
number of regiments could do without the
road. protected railroad is base OF sup
ply by means of which expeditions Of cavalry
or infantry can be sent out in small numbers
and to comparatively distant points. One
company Of cavalry, one of infantry, and one
section Of . battery Of field artillery would
suffice to patrol an area of thousand miles
in length by four hundred in width, lying
along such railroad Is we hope the Texas
Pacific will be.
This conservative and peace-making effect
Of the aIdently desired railroad will in time
be greatly enhanced BY the construction OF
such branch roads as the completion of the
trunk line will invite and render profitable.
In ten years from the railroad junction Of the
Mississippi with the Pacific Ocean at San
Diego, there will be completed branches in
aggregate length greater than that Of the
main road, taking from Indian raiders and
cattle thieves from the Mexican border their
present opportunities for carrying on their
de predations. This road and the anticipated
branches would change the aggressive spirit
Of our disorderly neighbors and convert them
to . spirit of peace and good fellowship.

modities and for social intercourse would
increase both and pave the road to closer
union at no very distant time. Railroads,
like all other improved internal routes OF
communication, add to countrys military
strength either for attack or defense, but they
do still more and wider good by increasing
motives for the preservation of peace. Repose
and friendship are slowly coming to their
proper estimation in the opinion of tho civil
liked nations of the world. They are begin
ming to have their market value like all else
that may be won or lost. It is certainly wise
for nation to purchase the interested good
will of its neighbor when it can do this by
increasing It's own wealth, security and
strength.

zone ex-revenue official has been indicted, =
is the announcement in the morning journals.
True, that one is small one, q very in.
significant one indeed, but then one is better
than none, and we began to fear that Mr.
Bristow's detectives, in their eager search for
"crooked merchants, had quite overlooked
"crooked" officials. It seems somehow so
easy to capture a merchant, and SO awfully
hard to lasso "ex-ofdcials." They, the latter,
are such oily, greasy. slippery chaps,
they were probably the representatives
and stool pigeons of such elevated
and distinguished and high-minded officials,
and hence seem to bear sort of charmed ex-
istence Now, according to our ideas Of
justice these fellows are the ones who, from
the very nature of things, should bs the first
to be caught in the tolls of the violated law
There could never have been crooked whisky
but for crooked officials, since the govsrn-
ment assumes absolute control of the manu-
facture Of whisky and places innumerable
checks upon distillers and rec.i6ers
Given, therefore, a fraud upon the revenue
in the matter of whisky, and it ought to be
the easiest possible matter to place the finger
OF the law upon the delinquent officials.
We are gratified to learn that General Brady
has expressed his determination to see that
impartial justice is melted out to Ill guilty
parties, but it does seem to US that the very
moment he discovers that there has been
fraud in dis.illery or rectifying establish
men', he should be relieved Of the necessity
Of asking for information against the officials
in charge of those establishments, for the fact
is patent that, without their consent and con.
nivance, there could have been no fraud.

startling character. The distillsries here
have beeniclosed since the spring Of 1874, and
hence the frauds in distillation must ante
date that time.
Let the General, then, take . dive into
whisky stills of the past, and we opine there
will be perturbations in the breasts of many
who smilingly look on at the present pro-
ceedings and laugh in their sleeves at the
trouble into which, in some instance, the

what Capt. Eads's politics may be, but We
believe the country would be benefited and
honored if SO able, distinguished. and emf
nently worthy citizen could be elected as it's
chief magistrate:
We give in another article report from
an authentic source concerning the pro- ress
of the jetty works at the mouth of the Mi :
sissippi, which shows gratifying improve
ment in the channel so far rs the works have
been carried, and indicates that within
very short time We may expect to see the
great river freely opened to navigation by
vessels of the largest class.
The opening Of the Mississippi will have
wonderful influence upon the material pros
perity of the Republic, and will form
crowning event during this Centennial year
of our country's history. The region thus
thrown open to the worlds commerce is one
OF unsurpassed richness, capable OF support
ing an immense population.
