BIafne,s Defence.

i Blaine appeared before the Hou yes
terdsy to- make personal explsnsh on Of
the charges against him. We have read
1t sounds very much like one of Beecher's
statements Of his innocence. The evil
dence that Mr.. Blaine produces does rot
strike US as meeting the casa. O1e is

The Supreme Court.

On Tuesday there was published In this
city some statistics of allowances made by
the Supreme Court, accompanied with
comments intended to show that they
were extravsgant and unprecedented. 1t
seems proper to present this matter In q
true light. The state furnishes rooms for
the judges. But one judge can reside at
Indianapolis, and these rooms were
planned and intended fer their working ard
sleeping apartments. 1t Is not to be ex-
pected that they will sleep on the floor, or
occupy the rooms without furniture.
These rooms are decently, but by no means
extravsgsntly furnished, as any one can
see by inspecting them. They are occupied
and used by the present judges exactly ss
they were by those preceding them, and
a. they were intended to be occupied and
used. When the building now occupied
by the judges was completed, In 1867, she
rooms were furnished by the judges
who then occupied the bench, al
the expense Of the state. and when
their term expired the furniture was
turned over to the present judges, who
have, from time to time, provided such
new furniture Is was necessary. The
judges preceding the present bench en-
ployed a janitor and janitress. This prac.
tice has been continued by the present

Redfsfrictfng the City.

The Journal of yesterday morning con-
tains several articles touching the city
election which showed conclusively that
which has been floating around in halt
whisper, that the Republican leaders In
the city have determined to use every
available means, no matter how dis
reputable and dishonorsble, to carry the
city at the approaching election. Success
In this is vital, as claimed by the Journal,
to "both .tste and national politics"
The city must be carried in order
that the old time frauds here may
carry the sts.e for tie Republicans in
October. For political ends, outside the
city's interests, the city is to be used
made an engine to carry the political for
tunes of Orth and Morton to political
place. Regarding the matter as all impor-
tsut in this light, they have been engaged
in organizing secret Republican clubs,
after the Know-Nothipg fashion, and have
planned for bitter partisan triumphs in
every ward of the city that they have
had sry nort of hope of carrying.
The Journal foreshad ows in anothe
paragraph the methods by which this
nefarious scheme Is to be carried out. Il
says: "If those five hundred trained
Republican bummers' haven't disbsnd.d
their organization yet, they can do good
work In guarding the polls and challeng-
sing Democratic repeaters next week :"
Against this organized plot to regain tbs
control OF the city, secretly planned,
the Democracy proposed to exert
their best endevaors In legiti-
mate and legal way. This city was
controlled not by legitimate major
ties, out by fraud and corruption fer years,
and in pursuance of any and every means
to retain control, they resorted to the
same methods, by which their party
got control of the state by an
infamous apportlonnent OF the city
by, which u was almost impossible for q
Democrat to be elected north OF certain
sections OF the city. Formerly the First,
Second and Third Wards ran north from
Washington street, and the Ninth Ward
was Democratic. To get rid of this Demo-
cratic ward Republican Council, under
the lead OF DR.. Jameson, turned those
wards around and made them all Repub-
licsn. This action of the Republican
Council was approved by the Republican
papers and all their leading men. 1t was,
however, an outrage upon toe city, and
Notwithstanding their gerrymandering
q majority OF Democrats were returned to
the Council, the psople becoming tired OF
Romeo purchases, exorbisant street COM
missioner bills prior to elections, Southern
Park swindles. and their conse-
quences, high taxes. Bat now
this renewed attempt to get con-
troll of ths city and inaugurate here the
same system Of extravaganza, and make
indianapolis hot bed of political corrup-
ton, surrounding the polls with bummers

citizens from exercising their right, will be

A. Republican Outrage.

At the opening of the Democratic Con-
vention yesterday morning the Academy
of Music was crowded in every part. with
dense mass OF humanity, and
when the chairmsn's gsvil fell 1t
would have been almost impossible
for another individual to. have crowded
himself In. During the nomination for
governor the utmost disorder prevailed,
and every Democrat blushed with
shame that the members of his party
should act so like savagss and bsrbariaus.
The moment the nomination for governor
was made the sisles and Hobbies were VOL
unfairly cleared, and from that time on the
best of good order prevailed. Noticeably
there were large numbers Of Repub-
Leans among those who retired
but the full extent of the outrage
was not imagined until late last night.
Three indiscreet Rspublicans-one made
DO by nature, and the other two by whisky
let out the secret Of Republican manage
ment, and forecast the plan of that party
for the coming campaign. Five hundred
Republican bummers, trained to sheir
work by their scarcely less disrsput-
able leaders, forced their way into the
convention, and tried by every artifice
known 10 their class to break 1t up. Hoot-
ing. yelling, cat-calling, shouting. whoop-
ing Ike so many wild Indians calling,
Question: "Question" when there was
no question before the house; shouting
against the withdrawal of q nomination
alike of either Holman or Landers, and
generally so conducting themselves as to
disgrace q mob of Digger Indians. When
the nomination for governor was
made, In spite Of them, they with

Vivid flashes of lightaing are playing
fesrfully near the head of General Grant
in ct, 1t struck him last week. Colonel
Whitley, ex-chief Of the secret service,
was before the committee on expendi-
lures of the department of justice, and
teetified to paying over to enc John 1.
Davenport sums sggregsting more than
$4,000 during the years of 1871, 1872
1873 and 1874 in the months i'm
medistely preceding the election in New
York in each of those years, and the most
part during the presidential campaign in
1872. This money from the secret service
fund was paid by the order Of Grant, and
against the advice OF Williams. General
Henderson declared "that ell the paths of
corruption led to the White House," and
hero is one that lssds dirpzfly to Grant.
The committee Will call cAe president, and
the country will be treated to another
humiiisting spectacle president plead
ing Tor nickel's worth OF character to re-
tire on to private life.

G, ant and the Secret service Fund.

CT ant and the Secret Service Fund.
Not long ago the Sentinel suggested that
in less than sixty days Grant himself
would probably be brought to the bar OF
the Senate for high criples and INSIDE
meanors, each investigation bringing the
president into closer relations with those
detected in defrsuding the govern
ment. Less than thirty days have
passed, and already the investigs-
tons point directly to the president Is
guilty of corrup;ly wasting the public
funds. The Sentinel yesterday gave an
account of the expenditure of $50 900 of the
secret service fund for which no satisiac-
tory vouchss could be found. On our
seventh page this morning will be found
an exhibition of the matter In q
light which shows the president
TO be guilty. The testimony of
Williams, the ex-sttorney general of
Grant, before theG committee, directly
lays the responsibility OF this Illegal use of
money upon the president. Il was paid
out before Mr.. Grants election the second
time. How mnch OF this was used at New
York for the purposes indicated by Will
liams Is not known, but enough 10 fix upon
Grant the charge of abusing his high trust
In misapprCpriating the public treasure.
IL Is melancholy spectacle for the peo-
pie OF this country to behold. The party
in power for years has had everything its
own way. Here q sacred trust is com
mittsd to the president, and with
out the necessity OF his revealing
to the public, at least for q long
while, its disposition, is made to assist in
really corruptiDg the elections, If not per-
sonslly appropriated. Grant knew that the
use ofthis money was illegal. yet he wished
to control the elections in Now York, and
committed to Davenport she scheme OF
overthrowiHs the will OF the people. A
more dishonorabls violation of trust could
not well be conceived. The money was
taken from where 1t would not be missed.
It Was good planning:snd succeeded well
for time. But an evil day has overtaken
public plunderers, and Mr.. Grant goes
down with the rest.

avail. The citizens ofIndisnspolis may sc Q

No better evidence of the enthusiasm
with which the nomination of Mr.. Will
lisms has been received by the people of
the state could be had at this time than the
comments of the press, reproduced in the

Der and indorse the sentiments expressed
by the newspapers-of the state. Indepen--

The Republican rowdies In the lobby of
the Council Chamber last night disgraeed
their party and brought odium on our
city. They hsllooed themselves hoarse
trying to .care somebody, but found out
at last that they had their labor tor their
pains. There were plenty of Democrats
on hand, ready for any emergency, but
being conscious that they were up
holding righteous cause, kept
quiet and maintained proper respect
tor the body In whose presence
they WERE. The Republican leaders dis
covered last night that the time has gone
by when hired DULLES can deter Democrats
from exercising a legal right. What the
Council did lass night can be defended on
principles OF right and equity. 1t was
merely undoing what Republican Coun-
ell did seven years ago for the purpose OF
perpetustlpg its party in power. Rspub-
licans might as well understand at once
that Democrats have equal rights with
themselves, and will maintain them.

bench. The business OF the jsuitor has
been to take care of and make fires in the
court room, consultation room, library,
reporter and judges's rooms, and that OF
the janitress to keep the rooms and the
furniture thereof clean and IN order.
The present judges have made no al
lowsnces not sanctioned by law and long
usage.
With regard to allowances made by the
judges to themselves for lights. fuel, etc.,
used by them when engaged at home in
the business of the state, il may be OBJ
served that the judges have been in the
habit CT taking records home with them
and there working upon them. For this
purpose the satchels were purchased. 1t
seems to be necessary to the progress OF
business that some work should be done
by the judges when st home, as they can
not be expected to be all the time
in Indianapolis, inasmuch as they
must reside in their districts. To
do their work ct home, light, fuel,
etc., is necessary. 1t has been the practice
of the court for twenty years CT more for
the judges to make themselves an allow
ance to cover these expenses incurred a.
home while engaged in the business of the
state. The following copy of an allowance
made by the predecessors of the present
judges will show what the practice has
been in this respect. This order comes
from the files of the auditors Office, and
is published, not to question Its propriety,
but to show the practice in this respect,
and that the present judges have only done
what has been done without question for
twenty years:
