these men who are not the owners of proper
ty have subjected the state to financial dis
asters.
If the Journals theory is correct, the peo-
pie of Indiana would be glad to take the
$50 OOO, 900 of Indebtedness and permit the
railroads to be torn up and destroyed. Cities
would be willing to abandon every improve
ment that has made them great and prosper
Gus, and go back to primitive poverty.
We conclude that the Journal would have
a difficult Job on its hands. Radicalism
during its infamous rule has, in great
measure destroyed all the landmarks OF
honest administration of the fiscal affairs OF
the country. What is wanted now is not
laws to arrest progress or to prevent the peo-
pie from making such Improvements as re-
quire municipal Endorsement, but to enact
such laws as shall make the custodians OF
public moneys give faithful accounts of their
stewardship and stop peculation.

IN MEMORlAM.

A tribute TO the memory of John'Hendricks,
youngest brother of Governor 4. A. Hen
dricksl who died in Delphi, January 4, 1877, in
the 10th year of his age.
Remembrance hath not a sweeter or more
sad retrospection than the sweet memory
bells of words of cheer and encouragement
to the sorrowing and respondent from the
voice now hushed forever, and the eyes that
beamed so kindly upon each and all now
sealed in death. Too much can not be said
to portray the noble traits in the character
of this noble man, yet what could more
forcibly let us into the deep recesses of his
feelings with an unerring certainty than the
respect and high value in which he held the
female sex as the friends, the companions
and the equals of man. l do not mean to
refer to the courtesy-the delicate kindness
with which he was accustomed to treat
the SEX but rather to the unaffected respect
with which he spoke of their ac-
complishments their talents, their virtues
and their excellencies. The scott and
leers of the morose, the bitter taunts of
satirists and the lighter ridicule of the witty
so profusely and often so ungenerously
poured out upon the transient follies and
fashions found no sympathy in his bosom.
He was still farther above the commonplace
tiatterers by which frivolity seeks to admin
lister aliment to personal vanity or vice to
make its approaches to lesser purposes. He
spoke to the sex when present as he spoke of
them when absent-in language of just APP
peal to their understandings, their tastes
and their sympathies. He paid voluntary
homage to their exquisite perception OF
moral and religious sentiments, their natur-
al devotedness and their accomplishing sac
rifices, their fearlessness in duty, their buoy
ancy in hope, their courage in despair, their
love which triumphs most when most
pressed by dangers and difficulties which
reaches by the coucn of sickness and
smoothes the bed of death and smiles even
in the agonies of its own suffering. Such
was the principal characteristic of this noble
man. In his death woman has lost de-
voted friend and faithful counselor. We
can only mingle tear with tear with those
whose loss is his eternal gain.

which are to be seen in the bill
submitted to congress, will result in the COM
plete defeat of the fraudulent purposes of
conspirators and yindicate the majesty of
the expressed will of the people and the
dignity of the ballot-box.
We are quite free TO admit that Morton's
hostility to the plan agreed upon by the
committee is Pri0lo facie evidence of its
merits, but we prefer to analyze the provis-
ions of the bill somewhat more carefully
before giving them our unqualified indorse-
ment, though we are quite willing to admit
that under all the circumstances the labors
of the committee more than realize the ex-
pectatiops Of the most sanguine.

The somewhat loose practice of issuing
city warrants when there are no available
funds to pay them has caused considerable
trouble in indianapolis, as in other cities OF
the state. Senator Dykeman introduced a
bill yesterday prohibiting the drawing OF
warrants when the auditor is aware that
there is no money IN the treasury.

Centenary" by holding at Penznace or at
Truro-probably at the tormer-a Congress
OF Celtic scholars. At this congress papers
will be read and discussions invited upon the
history and affiuities of the ancient and
now extinct Cornish language. Although
this language has ceased to be vernacular for
so long period, yet it Is well known that
there still remain a number of manuscripts
which were written in it, and some Of which
have been recently translated and published.
For instance sundry of the old Cornish Scrip
tural dramas, the "Origo Mundi," the 'sPas.
sio Christi" and the ''Resurrecto Christi"
by Mr.. Norris, and the "Beaunauds Meria-
sek", by Mr.. W. Stoke. 1t is expected that
other similar manuscripts will also shortly
see the light under the auspices of the "Cor-
nish Manuscript Society; and it may be
added, as connecting link with our own
times. that not a few old Cornu-British words
are still embedded in the modern Cornish dia-
lect.

A MEETING of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science is to be held
in Nashville, Tenn, from August 20 to Sep
tember 8. While organized mainly for the
promotion of pure science, the association
seeks the cooperation Of friends of science,
and invites TO associate membership all who
are interested in the application of scientific
principles to the development of the vast in
dustrial resources of the South. The meet
ing promises to be of special interest to the
educators and public spirited citizens of that
section. and it is hoped by its promoters that
all practical men who appreciate the value of
agricultural, manufacturing, and mining in
dustries will unite in making it grand sue
cess. With the cordial cooperation of the
citizens of Nashville complete arrangements
have been made for the reception and enter
tainment of members and their friends,
which will include excursions to points of in
terest in the vicinity of that city anda ad-
joining states.

The English papers crack their daily Jokes
about the unwelcome Colorado potato bug,
very much in the spirit in which people affect
cheerfulness when calamity hangs over them,
while at heart they are fearful and apprehen-
sive. Now that the beetle has arrived on the
British and continental shores he will soon
get established in business, and il the potato
crop of Europe is to be saved it will only be
by the exercise Of vigilance and energetic ac-
tion. The Europeans have the advantage of
our experience in dealing with the scourge,
and it will be their own fault il they do not
get the better of The beetles at the outset.
Where our farmers have been watchful and
diligent this year the potato crop is at least a
good average. No remedy has yet been
found better than the picking off and de-
struction of the bugs by hand, but it requires
a good deal Of labor, and when the price Of
labor is low, as in Europe, il will prove
surer reliance than dangerous poisons.

In recent debate in the House of Com
mons as to the propriety of strengthening the
British army by the organization of an eff
cient force Of mounted riAemen, Sir Henry
Havelock (son of the defender of Lucknow
in the Indian Mutiny, and himself gallant
and experienced soldier) attributed the ulti-
mate success of the Federal army in the
American War to their large force of cavalry I,
armed with Lagrange rifles, and strongly
recommended that, following the example Of
other countries, Eogland should replace the
cavalry carbine with American rifles of long
range. By curious coincidence General
Grant was in the House Of Commons, in on

THE bank suspensions in st. Louis and the
partial panic which exists there should not
have any serious influence outside of that
city. The event, however disastrous it may
be in st. Louis, is purely local to that city,
and occasioned by purely local causes. The
broken banks were small, speculative insti-
tutions, which have, used up their funds in
bridge building and real estate speculations,
out Of which the values were squeezed long
ago, and having no money, of course when
depositors have to call for it they have to
close. A badly managed banking house can
no more continue business with money than
badly managed private house. The run in
st. Louis is simply wiping out weak and rot
ten banks which ought to have gone under
long ago, but 1t will leave the conservative
and well managed institutions stronger than
