The resignation OF Prince bismarck is
causing good deal of comment. 1t is
conjcctured that the iniirm state of his
health is but pretext and not the real
cause Of his retirement. Some think that
the acceptance Of the protocol, which is
simultaneous with his resignation, caused
the latter. Oilers believe that he is dis
affected by, some past affairs and 50 re-
tires, or that be has been so much sur
rounded by in,rigues and jealousies
through the consolidation of the German
Empire that the step which he has taken
was deemed advisable to escape formida-
bic difficulties That his health is shat
tered is certain, but the opinion appears
to prevail that this alone would not be. a
sufficient cause for his resignation. The
London Times thinks that if war breaks
out in Europe Bismarck must return to the
helm as there is no other statesman in
Europe capable of supplying his place.

There said to be a bad quarrel brew
ing between, Mr.. Tiden and Mr.. Hewitt.
The, Albany Journal says The misfor-
tunes of the democratic campaign, which
each. charges upon the other, doubtless
lie at the bottom Of this misunderstanding
For example, MI. Tilden's friends attrib-
ute the loss of Louisiana to Mr.. Hewitt
upon the ground, We suppose, that he
didn't close In with the aluring and bril-
liant offers of Maddox and Pickett This
is q fair specimen of their sense. Another
source of trouble is the measure of respon-
sibility for the Electoral Commission
Poor Mr. Hewitt is undoubtedly held ac-
countable, in the public mind for various
sins and blnnders OF the campaign in
which he was only the unwilling agent
Of his principal. But the most serious
cause Of the disagreement is understood
to be the fact that Mr.. Hewitt made large
advances during the canvass which Mr..
Tiiden now declines to pay up. This is,
indeed, the most unkindest cut of all "

have sea- their stealthy steps of
fraud in three states. Legislatures

dianapoks was not to be informed upon
these subjects. They were thoroughly ad-
yised. They had watched with the
most intense solicitude the Shiny track
ofthe conspirators. They had stood almost
dumb as they heard the internal crew strike
their ponderous blows against the citadel of
liberty, and the great purpose IN coming to
Indianapolis was to understand what was best
to be done when usurpations rule the hour.
Upon these terrible issues what saws the
convention? What are the brave words that
1t sends forth to the worid2 What high re-
solves does it recommends What intense
devotion to the rights of the people does it
inculcate2 What noble sacrifices for the
preservation of liberty does it encouraged
These are questions that the people are
likely to ask, and then they will ask them
selves is their birthright worth what it
cost
The utterances of the convention, in the
opinion Of very many democrats whose opin-
ions are entitled to consideration, were not
as emphatic as the occasion demanded It
was time to speak in tones that should
awaken every latent energies of freemen, and
go ringing through the land like million
of bugle blasts.
But this intensified caution must not be
accepted by the conspirators as an indica-
ton that the people of Indiana will quietly
yield up their independence to fraud, or de-
sert the constitutional guarantees of free
dom without such resistance as becomes
men who know their rights and dare
maintain them.

The democratic convention that assembled
in indianapolis Yesterday, the Sth of Janu-
airy, 1877, came up to the largest expecta-
tons OF the most sanguine men of the party.
1t was in all regards grand. 1t was COM
posed Of representative men from every
county in the state. When we consider the
season of the year, the inclemeEcy OF the
weather, the prostration of business and the
consequent scarcity OF money, the outpour-
ing of the people was extraordinary and in
dicative of a purpose in the highest sense
creditable alike to their intelligence and
their devotion to the principles of constitu-
tional liberty.
The convention was presided over with
marked ability and fairness by Judge Good
prevailed, from first to last, was the
subject of generous praise and APP
proval. Never in the history of In
| diana has there been a convention
held within her borders by any party or for
any purpose more distinctly marked by a
serious regard for the proprieties of the oc-
casion. This was expected, for never did
men assemble for higher or a more sacred
purpose. With state constitutions PROSTATE
beneath the heel of an unscrupu-
lous despot; with bayonets in
the vitals of three sovereign, bleeding and
PROSTATE states; with returning board con-
| spirators reversing the decision Of a sover-
eign people; with the ballot-box shorn of its
dignity and power; with liberty Pickering
between life and death; with the
last hope of freemen going out in
darkness; with fraud triumphing over
right and perjury beating down the
battlements of truth. The people of Indiana
in this supreme moment came together to de-
liberate. We knew they would come. We
said they would come as
"The winds come when forests are rended."
And come they did, from hill and valley,
city, village and hamlet, in the depth
of winter, regardless of sacrifices,
with hearts beating in full accord with the
noblest purposes and the sternest resolves.
| They met for deliberation. AS we write hun
dreds of them are on their homeward way
and while we hope that the influence of the
convention will serve to inspire fresh hope
for their country's welfare, and sternel
resolves to protect their liberties and rescue
them from the grasp of conspirators, we con
fess with some degree of regret that the con
yention did not, in its utterances, come uI
to the democratic sentiment of the state. In
this we do not refer to the speeche.
that were made; these are deserving of the
highest encomiums; they aroused the
enthusiasm of the people; they inspired

nd elect some one who would.

Ofcourse the two houses are to count the
votes-H. Clay.
Thus spake Henry Clay and nearly every
senator and representative that ever opened
his mouth on the subject, and only last win
ter all the more prominent of the present
radical senators Endorsed Henry Clay. 1t
is only recently that we find change of
front on the part of the radical party, and
only now because it can only save its bogus
president by giving the president of the sem
ate the power to count him in whether
elected or not, and have the senate and
lower branch sitting around like Stoughton
bottles while the rascally operation pro-
ceeds. We wonder how long old Henry Clay,
or Dan Webster, or Tom Benton would have
kept their seats while the president of the
senate was doing the job.

There are recent indications that the SEN
atorial conspirators are about TO abandon
their plan of having the president of the
senate count the votes and declare who shall
be the next president. There's a new
scheme on foot, which would meet their
views quite as well, and would swindle Mr..
Tilden out of his election. We confess that
it looks feasible, and as we put nothing be-
yond Morton and the crowd that is usually
influenced by him, we believe that they
would find il easier than the one regarding
the president of the senate. 1t is this: To
manage and manipulate the proceedings of
the joint convention so as to carry its pro-
ceedings up to the 4th of March, when by
law the lower house ceases TO exist or is
ti,nct IS c6icio. There then being no election
by this joint convention, the president
of the senate becomes president of the
United States for four years. Why is the
scheme not feasible to smart set of polit-
zeal desperadoes headed by man like Nor
ton? Ferry would probable meet their
views better than Mr.. Hayes, or if not, they
could elect some one who would
