DURING the palmy days of South Carolina
radicalism there were issued seven millions
of dollars worth of bonds, which have since
been repudiated. They are worth in the
market to-day about four or five cents on the
dollar. The supreme court of that state at
one time gave decision rather favorable to
the bonds, but the state legislature afterward
passed an act repudisting them.
Large quantities of these bonds are held
by radicals. friends of Hayes and Sherman,
secretary of the treasury, and the fear is now
expressed that pressure may be brought
now to bear on the South Carolina legisla-
ture influencing it in the selection of chief
justice of the supreme court Of that state,
who would practically have the decision of
the legality or iIlegality Of the bonds alluded
to- Or in other words. the price paid Hayes
and his friends for the carpetbagger rid
dance is the recognitios of seven millions of
dollars worth OF fraudulent or bogus bonds.

ferent since then. He had enemies in late
years whom he could not so easily fight"
We wonder to whom he alluded Was it
Bristow, or the wicked Blaine, or perhaps it
was Pratt, or Yaryan, or Marshall Jewell of
Connecticut? The whisky rings did not
give him any annoyance until they got into
trouble themselves. Bsbcock, too, must
have annoyed him. HE could not easily
fight him, TO use his own language. We
are glad to note that the ex-president is
looking healthier, and that he has gained a
good deal OF flesh since he left Washington.

THE southern democrats are proposing the
name of Mr. Goode, Of Virginia, as their inn
mediate candidate fer speaker of the next
house; that is, for the consideration of the
democratic caucus The extra session of
congress will convene in June, perhaps as
early as the 4th. not later than the 18th. To-
day, it is said, the matter will be decided by
the cabinet. Regarding the speakership, the
radicals will endeavor to divide the demo-
Gratis in their selection. but we have no
doubt they will be s>d1y disappointed. OF
course the vest would prefer probably Mr.
Morrison, of Illinois, but Mr.. Randall, of
Pennsylvania, or Mr.. Goode, of Virginia,
would not be Objectionable. Mr.. Hayes
will not obtain any very strong support from
the next speaker of the incoming house of
representatives.

THE STATE.

Bartholomew county agricultural society
will meet Saturday to reorganize and elect
new officers.
Scotttsburg Democrat: Most of the peach
trees in this locality were killed by the ex-
cessive cold last winter.
Fort Wayne Sentinel: The canal company
yesterday purchased IS acres of canal land at
the feeder dam for 81 200.
Frankfort Crescent There will be few
peaches in this vicinity Notwithstanding the
severe winter. The bloom is nearly as heavy
as last year.
The Bartholomew county board of educa-
ton will meet at Columbus May 10. The
township trustees are to be present with
their reports of enumeration.
Richmond Palladium: Although yester-
day was election day. not a single case was
before the mayor this morning. This speaks
well for the morals of our city.
Sullivan Democrat: 1t cost the people
$3.50. 90 less for officers salaries and at
torney's fees under democratic economy
than what it did under republican extrava-
gance.
Steps are already being taken to reorgan-
ize the Spencer township, Bartholomew

ent reports and prospects it will be much
grander affair than ever before.
New Albany Ledger-Standard: A lady
poultry fancier says she has SO chickens
Matched and by tomorrow will be certain

New Albany Ledger-Standard: The New
Albany steam forge works are still idle, but
the proprietors are negotiating for several
contracts that will give employment to ev-
cry department during the coming season,
with every prospect of success.
Columbus Republican: The heavy frost
of Monday and Tuesday morning has done a
great deal of damage in this section. Nj.

besides other damages. Nearly all the fruit
in this section has been killed, except pos
sibly few apples may be left.

1t would be impossible to crowd into the

Louisiana than has been done by the car
vided the linen of influence" referred to is
intended to include citizens who are not of
the ]. Madison Wells type. If this scrib-
bier, who evidently writes in the interest of
returning board thieves and Williams, is to be
believed, the people of Louisiana are ready
to thank God for the reign of fraud and
for military rule that has nearly
crushed the life out of their state, and for
the villainies that have been practiced in
Louisiana in the name of republican
institutions. All of this is done that the
crime by which Hayes was enabled to vault
into the presidential Office may be obscured
and that the infamous gang of scoundrels
who engineered the fraud may go unwhipt
of justice. The people of Louisiana are
well advised in regard to the causes that
brought about their emancipation. They
know that during the presidential campaign
Hayes was the standard bearer of the
bloody shirt" army, and that had the rsdi-
calls obtained majority of the popular vote
instead of the democrats, the troops
would now be in South Carolina and Louisi-
ana carrying forward the infamous despot-
ism inaugurated by Grant and approved by
the entire radical party. There is not an
utterance of Hayes on record that he was
not in full accord with the bloody shirt"
policy-including bayonets, returning board
perjuries and frauds, but the democratic
party by its ceaseleSs war upon radicalism,
by exposing its crimes and by jibbeting its
scoundrels before the world, created pub
lie sentiment that Hayes could not and
dared not resist, and consequence he was
compelled to give the order to remove the
troops and permit the south to go free.
The act is in consonance with the will
of the American people that made Samuel
]. Tilden president, and to assume that the
people of Louisiana preferred that the
order should have been issued by Hayes
rather than Tilden is equivalent to saying
that they approve the crime by which Hayes
and his gang of villains obtained power.
This SANDER is an exhibition of the same.
vile purpose that has from the first distin.
guished the Tribune in its bitter hostility to
the south, and exhibits a determination to
carry on the "bloody shirt" warfare indefi-
nitely. Carpetbaggers, fortunately, can no
longer plumber the south and demand the
protection of federal soldiers, but carpet-bag
correspondents still lie with impunity,
and this they are likely to do as long as the
Tribune and papers of its ilk show a willing
ness to engage in the crusade.
