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 a very spirited
address in which he denounced with be-
coming severity the Presidential fraud.
The platform faVors the substitution of a
legal tender greenback currency for the
present national bank circulation, and also
the coinage of silver dollars of 412! 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 baretaced
effrontery, carried out the scheme by and
through venal 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 a free people had called
them; that we hold it up as the monster crime
of the age, crime against free government,
a crime against the elective franchise, and
crime that can only be condoned when the
malefactors 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
ia interfere with the rights and
powers of State courts in the prosecution OF
these criminals.

Elkton and Middletown Railroad.

The Baltimoreans will not subscribe a
dollar towards the proposed twelve miles
connecting link of railroad between Elkton
and Middletown, and the citizens Of those
towns cannot build the road themselves.
So the road will not be built, and Phila-
delphia will continue to receive the lion
share of the trade of the peninsula. Well,
she deserves it, for she reaches out her
arms invitingly to the people of the PENN
sula in many ways, while Baltimore draws
back and seems to say ave desire not your
trade. Send your fresh fish and oysters,
your dried fruit and fresh fruit, your hoop
poles and slaves, your poultry and eggs,
your wheat, corn and rye, your ship-timber
and bark, your tomatoes, onions, cele-
ry, asparagus and rhubarb, your fat cattle,
veals, mutton, wool and hides, all to Phila-
delphia and New York, and make your
purchases there; Baltimore shopmen, mer-
chants, hotels and commission houses, can
get along without you" Chestertown,
Millington, Centreville, Hillsborough,
Greensborough, Denton, Easton, Oxford,
Cambridge, Vienna, Salisbury, Princess
Anne, Chrisfeld, Snow Hill, Seaford, all
have direct railroad connection with the
cities of Philadelphia and New York, and
much of the trade formerly enjoyed by
Baltimore, has been diverted from her
through these channels, and Baltimore is
listless and sluggish and will make no eff
fort to regain it.

The Silver Question.

The victims of the orimania, or worship
ers Of the golden calf, have thrown 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 bill passed the Senate, and United
States bonds lave improved in price both
in the London and New York markets
They acknowledge their surprise at
this state of things, but are not willing
to admit their oracles false. They say it
is because the bill, as passed, is so much
less Objectionable than the bill as origi-
nally reported. True. the bill is less OBJ
jectionable, 10 Its amended form, but it
was the reconciliation of silver that was
to work the evil, aud that is the very es-
senee of the measure as it now stands.
Let them cease their raven-like croaking,
and have the candor to admit that they
knew nothisg about the matter over which
they have made so great an ado,

AN INSULT FROM ENGLAND.-Russia sug-
gests that the United States, as great mari
time power, should be admitted to the con-
ference called to settle the Eastern question.
England, while not Directing to the admission
of representatives from this country, coolly
says that with Americans in the conference
they could not get along without Greece! 1t
is stated from Washington that our Govern
ment has not received an invitation to partic-
ipate in the European Congress at Baden !;
but that "the propriety of accepting such an
invitation when received will be the subject
of Cabinet discussion, and will be treated with
all the importance it deserves"
We think it would best accord with
popular sentiment if our government should
keep clear of all "entangling alliances"
with European nations We think it was
Mr.. Jefferson who wished that gulf of
fire rolled between the old world and the
new, so that our government and people
might escape the contamination which he
seemed to think would result from too close
an intimacy. Without going that far, we
think our government should respectfully
decline the invitation, if it shall be re-
ceiyed
