to kill off the radical party, and that the
said Journal ought to be kicked, and that
before adjournment this convention will
proceed in body and perform said duty.
s. That things just now are looking rather
blue, but with an unusual development of
back bone and the aid of such appliances as
placed Hayes in power our hearts need not
get down into our boots.
o. That large army to shoot workingmen
and to stand guard oyer returning boards is
required by the best interests of all radical
conspirators
TO- That 1t is glorious triumph of John
Sherman's policy that greenbacks have been
brought to par by prostrating business bank
rupting the country and compelling mil
lions of workingmen to remain idle and
starve.
IL. That as John Sherman said to Ander-
son, when offering official positions for red
hot perjuries to make Hayes president, it is
the duty of Indiana RAIDS and swsg friends to
stand frm'-defend fraud, apologize for
forgeries and perjuries and hang together if
we would not hang separately.

PROBABLY there is not a man in the state

TO General Manson, the Journal has done,
evidences It's low instincts and gives assur-
ances that during the coming campaign the
Journsl will, as usual, rely upon its vapid
blackguardism for success. The Journal
compliments General Miller, and expresses
the opinion that from some cause General
Manson will tremble in the presence of his
competitor. If Miller has ability of high
order-which we dou5t-the fact will only
the more crafty Manson, for in that event
the democratic standard bearer, when he
brings the radical champion into camp.
which he is certain to do-will only have the
more cause for qualification.

ON THE DEFENSIVE.

When Montgomery Blair made his famous
attack upon radical frauds in the Maryland
legislature, radical organs and conspirators
timid democrats here and there chimed in,
while the independent press (?) was blatant
In predicting all sorts of disasters. Sud
denly McLin, feeling that the fires
of hell had got hold upon him, made
a clean breast of it, and changed
the whole current OF thought, convincing
all reasonable men that an investigation was
unavoidable. But this did not have the
effect to abate in the least the howliDgs of
radical conspirators and their organs On
the contrary, they became more defiant and
more arrogant Predictions of business
prostration, and threats of revolution were
freely made. Hayes title was exalted and
venerated and war was intimated and
almost declared. John Sherman vaulted
into the ring like prize fighter, SHE'D his
castor at congress, clinched his fists. pro
claimed his purity and innocence, and Kissed
defiance. Stanley Matthews ratified like a
pea in a tin cup. and everybody asserted the
beautiful serenity of Hayes, intimating at
the same time that his spinal column had
been discovered; that it was becoming -igid,
and that he would fight under certain cir
cumstances. With this exhibition of baugh-
ty presumption the small fry RAIDS assumed
disdain of the proposed investigation.
which added immensely to the contempt
which honest men entertain for knaves. The
investigating programme, however. was car
ried out faithfully. Radical congressman
kicked and bolted, but they could not arrest
tumelious and imperio1s bearing of the con-
spirators is completely knocked out of them.
John Sherman and Stanley Matthews have
had their political necks broken, and are now
stretched ought i'm the investigating morgue,
while Anderson and the Potter committee
are still experimenting upon them with
more testimony. 1t is sad to reflect that Mr.
Justice Harlan, who so recently donned the
gown and wig, is likely to be made conspicu-
GUS as the friend of Anderson. The country
will feel all the more panied at this an
nouncement since Judas Bradley had sufh-
GENTLY dlsgraced the supreme court during
With such facts in full view 1T is not sur
prising that some OF the more far seeing
organs of the conspirators begin to realize
that the time has arrived for a crawfish
movement that certain distinguished radi-
cal villains are doomed to disgrace, and that

Third Glass Mail Matter.

The United States mail service, like
that of Germany and other continental
countries, seems destined in time to do
large part of the business now trans
acted by the various express companies.
This will be accompanied by the new
system of registering third class mail
matter, which includes almost every
thing except written matter, and
which will give facilities long with
held from the people of this country.
The registration fee required on
third. class matter is 10 cents in addi-
ton to the postage required on the
article sent, the charge for which is
determined by weight. This fee is
designed simply to cover the cost of
registration, which furnishes the
sender with evidence that the package
has been forwarded and assures for it
the extra care given to all registered
matter. The new system, therefore,
enables people to send packages by
mail with precisely The same advan-
tages as by express. except that they
are not guaranteed against loss; but
experience has proved that the
chances of loss or damage are very
small, while the difference in the cost
of sending is enormous. When the
system shall become thoroughly known
to the public it is likely that the post
Office will transport the great bulk Of
small parcels forwarded from one part
of the country to the other, and the
people will make vast saving in the
aggregate cost. 1t is possible that the
express companies have heretofore
taken advantage of their practical
monopoly of the package business to
charge more than they ought, and, in
view of the post office competition,
they may make a material reduction {;
still they will scarcely be able to put
the rates on small packages so low as
the government, for several reasons.
The government, of course, does not
enter the field as a competitor with the
express companies; it merely offers
cheap rates on small packages, which
the express companies have never
voluntarily given.

IMPORTANT FOR VOTERS AND ELEC-
TIoN OFFICERs.-JudgesL Ludlow and
Fell, of Philadelphia, made the follow
ing decision, which affects the voters
in Pennsylvania
First, When is man of the age
which entities him to vote? Answer
"A person is III point of law of the
age of twenty-one years the day before
the twenty-first anniversary of his
birthday. Hence person the twenty
first anniversary of whose birthday is
the 9th of November, 1873, may vote
at the general election on the 9th Of
November, 1873. This question has
been settled from time immemoral !;
the reason assigned by the authorities,
is " that in law there is no fraction of
a day, and if the birth were on the first
second of one day, and the count on
the last second of the other, then the
twenty-one years would be complete,
and in law it is the same thing wheth-
er thing is done upon one moment of
the day or on another"
Second, If a man, in contemplation
of naturalization, goes thirty days be.
fore election and pays his taxes on
legal assessment for 1877, can he vote
on that tax receipt if otherwise quail
fed? Answer-Yes.
