EIktOn and MiddIetown Railroad.

The Baltimoreans will not subscribe

Law for any Emergency.


Grant always managed to get an opinion
from his Attorney General on measures of
doubtful authority, in accordance with his
own, or in accordance with the require
ments of the party policy chalked out for
him by those who controlled his Admins
tration. But Hayes has not been so for
tunate, or rather, the party has not been
so fortunate under Hayes Attorney
General Devens is said to have decided
that there is no ground for Federal inter
ference in the Louisiana cases against the
Returning Board. He had previously
decided against the arrest of the Sheriff of
New Orleans by the U. S. Marshal, when
sumo of the Returning Board took shelter
in the Custom House. Who doubts that
under Grant Williams would have given
an opinion in favor of interference, and that
Grant would have sustained it by the
army? Following the behests of an un-
scrupulous party dictation constitutes one
of the blacklist stains upon the history of
his Administration signalized as it was by
contempt for the requirements of law, or
straining and comforting it, through his
Attorney General, so as to subserve his
ends, or whatever purpose his party lead
ers had in view.

The Silver Question.

The victims of the orimania, or worship
ers of the golden calf, have thrown a great
deal of dust into the eyes of the public on
the silver question. They have predicted
the direst results to the country from the
passage of the silver bill; yet strange to say
the premium on gold has declined since
the bin passed the Senate, and United
States bonds lave improved in price both
in the London aud New York markets
They acknowledge their surprise at
this state of things, but are not willing
to admit their oracles false. They sag it
is because the bill, as passed, Is SO much
less Questionable than the bill as origi-
nally reported True, the bill is less OBJ
jectionable, in its amended form, but it
was the reconciliation of silver that was
to work the evil, and that is the very es-
sence of the measure as it now stands.
Let them cease their raFen-like croaking,
and have the candor to admit that they
knew nothing about the matter over which
they have made 50 great an ado.

Indiana Democrats in Council.


The Indiana Democratic Convention met
on Wednesday and nominated a State
ticket, headed by John G. Shanklein for
Secretary of State. Ex-Governor Hend-
ricks presided, and made very spirited
address in which he denounced with be-
coming severity the Presidential fraud.
The platform favors the substitution of
legal tender greenback currency for the
present national bank circulation, and also
the coinage of silver dollars of 412l grains,
with "full legal tender quality" Upon
the subject of the Presidential fraud it
says:
We abhor and hold up to the public detes
tation the leaders in the Republican party
who secretly connived, and with barefaced
effrontery, carried out the scheme by and
through yenal returning boards, whereby
Samuel j. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks,
the peoples choice for President and Vice
President, were wrongfully kept out of the
position TO which free people had called
them; that we hold it up as the monster crime
of the age, crime against free government,
q crime against the elective franchise, and
crime that can only be condoned when the
malefaetors who seated fraud in the Presi-
dental chair are driven from power and con-
signed to everlasting infamy by the people
whom they have outraged; and we denounce
the act of the President Of the United States,
in appointing to high and lucrative positions
the corrupt members of the returning boards
and condemn the acts Of federal officers in
attempting Ia interfere with the rights and
powers of State courts in the prosecution of
these criminals
