are due to this pernicious custom. Ger
tainly man increases his own danger OF
being shot, either by himself or others, by
carrying and displaying pistol fully as
much as he protects himself by this Course,
and the evil example he sets by breaking
the law in one particular opens breach
through which other ofenses may
rush. More especially do these re-
marks apply to persons Of high
standing in the community, the in
fiuence of whose example has great
weight with those who are accustomed to
look upon their practices with respect. II
will be remembered that at the election oil
last year a recent Republican state official,
whose career, up to that time, had been
above reproacb, drew pistol at one of the
polling places and made a great flourish
Herewith. Apart from the shock 10 law
abiding citizens who wished q quiet and
fair election, no evil results directly
followed, but no one can say just how
much the tracss of yesterday is due to the
example of Mr.. Glover, year ago, and TO
similar encoursgemeDts to lswlessness by
persons of his standing al different times

A Victory of sham.

The citizens of the state at large should
not be deceived by fa.se reports of a Re-
publican victory and great gain in this
city yesterday. There was open corrup-
tion OF the ballot-box by armed negro
repesters, by fraudulent voters from
other place., and at least FIVE
thousand illegal votes were cast. The
victory is one OF shame to the Republican
patty, and all the decent men of that party
feel humiiiated at the dastardly outrsees
their party leaders organized. They were
confident of losing the election on a fair
st. They had polled the city and could
approximate the result. It was then thew
conceived the plan OF having the negroes
take the polls.
They hired men to perjure themselves
by the hour in swearing in the negro and
white repesters. These were surrounded
by their friends SO that they could not be
arrested. The negroes had been infiamed
by incendiary appeals, and when they
went to work they could not be called of,
They went from one ward to another.
Drunken and debsuched by passion they
were really wild and ungovernable.
and therefore went far beyond
the design of the leaders. Hence
the open, bare-fsced frauds. MANY
of the poor wretches paid dearly for their
folly and recklessness, and those who
have used them will leave them to their
fate. They are of use no longer now until
the next election. 1t is no legitimate
victory of principles in fair contest. It
was the victory of fraud, of repeating, of
the bludgeon. the razor and pistol. Let it
60 forth to the world that the Republican
majority claimed to-day was gained by
the violence of armed negroes and repeal
ers. 1t was nothing else.

Morton I'm the Corruption Roll.

The Republican candidates for the pres
idency have a hard time tLis season.
About all they do in Congress is to make
explanations OF their rascally transactions
in the PAS. Blaine, Bristow and Morton
have had their say and now comes
will not permit Conkling to escape the
tolls. They all know so much rescality
about each other that they will not
lack for material. Morton will not let
Blaine off as easily as he imagined, and
Blaine now comes back for Morton through
his Illinois friends. 1t is easy to see how
the thing was done. Illinois is for Blaine,
and Springer was posted. Morton's ex-
PLANTATION Is printed this morning. It is
simply a republication OF Morton's old
speech that he has made a hundred
times. 1t may be new In other parts
of the country, where it has not
been read before, but it is the
stslest of stale stuff here in Indiana, so
that the news readers of the Sentinel ce-
serve an apology for its reprint to-day.
Morton's explanation is about as thin as
Blaine's. He has adroitly woven into his
explanation the old self-gloriicstion, and
If he had only been able to give q wave or
two of the bloody shirt he would have
been happy. As an explsnationist Morton
is not equal to Blaine. Let him be inves-
tigated.

Stopping a Panic.

In tho spring OF 1864, says n writer,
We wcro marching along in broken
woody country in southern Arkansas,
southward. when one day the infantry,
about two hundred strong, acting us es-
cort to my mule train Of about ono hun
dred and sixty wagons, was moving Just
in advance OF it. As they passed u
sharp turn in the road by n corner of q
field fence n strong body Of the enemy
suddenly rushed ont from the timber
and brush and attacked them, killing
and wounding the officers and some
men and two OF the three musicians.
Our escort was thrown into confusion
and ran back; SO did the little drummer
boy, with his drum over his shoulder.
The head Of my trAin was just approach
ing the turn Of the road, but had now
halted. Five OF us-mysclf, clerks, and
orderly-wcre sitting on our horses, re-
volvers in hand, rs the infantry came
running back toward us; but tho little
drummer boy, on arriving at the fence
corner Just before me, looked mp, bare
headed rs ho was, and, seeing us and
tho train, ut onco wheeled round and be-
gan beating the "long roll" which
means "inll into line"
The little black.haired fellow played
his level best, and the flying men hear
ing the roll call, and seeing the brave
boy beating so furiously and resolutely,
with his face to the approaching enemy,
began falling into line, and soon nearly
all of them wcro in battle order and
blazing away ut the coming enemy. The
drum, however, could still be heard
above tho din and rattle sof the mus
kerry. We discharged our reyOlyers Mt
tho enemy across the corner Of tho field
fonec, and the fire Of our now rallied
escort was SO hot and effective that the
enemy soon rctreatcd and ran into the
timber ont of sight, leaving many dead
and wounded. l rode up TO tho little
drummer boy, and, patting him on his
head, told him he ought to have n cap
tain's commission, for he by his coolness
md courage had stopped the panic and
saved the train from capture. "Wcll," "
said he, "the long roll will stop panic
if anything will"

4 Colorado Zephyr.

They h0yo some furious winds, or, rs
the local papers call them, zcphyrs, out
West. Tho Denver NcwS tells us OF ono
in Colorado that is worth All item. 1t
says: The heavy wind registered on
Pixies peak the other day seems to have
struck earth about Cucharas, and judg.
ing from the reports received from that
quarter it must have been pretty &C.
yero zephyr. Considerable damage was
done along its track, and NIL work and
business was periorce suspended during
the prevalence of the gale. a Cucharas
correspondent OF tho ChiCftam relates
the following among other effects OF the
storm: "Whilc the proprietor OF the
Cucharas sample room was Mt breakfast
one morning, the back door OF his cs-
tablishment was burst open by the force
of the wind, and his bar and bar fix
lures were carried through tho front
window and scattered over the broad
pampas in wild and dire confusion.
Mr.. Mitchell, one OF the leading mer-
chants here, hAs beon engaged NIL the
morning removing his goods from the
shelves and putting them in place OF
safety. His house sways and vibrNtcs
so much that lie fears it may go down
Mt any moment" Flo also relates n
touching story Of mulo being blown
out of its harness, at grading camp,
and carried away bodily. The same
paper also learns from gentleman Just
arrived from Walsenburg that tho most
tremendous storm OF wind over known
in TINT section commenced about day-
light in the morning. The air was full
OF flying dust, the roar Of tho hurricane
was deafening, and it was almost impos-
sible to stand on ones feet on account
OF tho power OF the storm. Houses were
unroofed, and the timely use Of ropes
alone saved the roof Of the Masonic Hall
from being carried out on the prairie.
Doors and windows were blown in in all
parts OF tho town, outbuildings over
turned and unroofcd, and tho whole
placo looks rs though it had experienced
q heavy bOmbardment. Fortunately
during NIL tho uproar no ono was in
jurcd, though the mir is sail ut times to
have been full OF flying boards, shin
giles, ctc.

Limited Assets,

The most complete failure on record
is recorded of man in Hatfield whose
liabilities are some 81, 600. Several Of
his creditors proved their claims tho
other day. The assignee visited the
place to inventory his property, and
found only sixteen spring chickens and
an old wagon. Fcariulthat the chickens
might takG to their wings and fly away,
he ut once sold thcm for seventy cents
each; md being in for the whole job he
bargaiucd tho old wagon for :, making
total assets of Sl6.20 to offset 81 600.
As tho expenses of settling he estate
will be about 800, tho remainder, be-
sides the $500, will be assessed upon
those creditors who were SO unfortunate
rs to prove their claims.
