there Is not a wild thicket IN Indiana that
bears the neglected and uncultivated APP
pearance OF that graveyard. If there is any
'ghour' on earth, or in any mystic land,
who possesses an ironclad armor, he might
possibly scramble his way through that
dense mass of thicket aud underbrush. and
come out alive but badly disfgursd. We are
inclined to the belief that the truth has not
half been told regarding the condition of the
two graves. Our esteemed contemporary
while it was In the poetry business, might
have gone farther. We quote from the same
distinguished poet civilian Cullen Bryant)
as follows:
Two low green hillocks, two small gray
stones,
Rose over the place that held their bones;
But the grassy nilocks are leveled again,
And the keenest eye might search in vain,
'Mong the bTiers and ferns and the paths OF
sheep,
For the spot where the aged couple sleep.
Our correspondent was without music in
his soul. He Is "plain, blunt man." and
made no display of words, but wrote facts
The lines Of the poet portray, in brief, the
condition of the graves. Our correspond
ent made no attack upon the memory OF the
dead. but he did speak too true as concerns
Albert G. Porter, and his neglect of that
sacred trust he has long owed to the memory
of those who gave him existence.
There is but little doubt that any man
who is worth we'll on to quarter OF a mil
lion of dollars might spare small amount
to the keeping in a decent condition the
graves of his parents, and this Mr.. Porter
hes not done

NEGROES Still. COMING

The Sentinel has from time to time
furnished its readers, and the Democratic
party of Indiana, all the facts which 1t has
obtained relating to the Republican con-
spiracy to carry the State by the importation
of negroes from the South, and from any
other locality where they can be
obtained. Every statement made was as
true as Holy Writ. Proof has multiplied;
1t has been furnished by blacks and by
whites; and still more, the absolute truth OF
the charges made against the Republican
party. in this regard. has been established
by the arrival OF negroes by hundreds
and by thousands, who have been scattered
over the State. Negroes are still coming
The agents of the Republican party are still
at work, and they intend to continue the
importation of negroes for the purpose of
strengthening the Republican party in Indi-
ana, as the following letter incontrovertibly
establishes:
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, August IL, 1880.
DEAR SIR-On the night OF the 9th inst \,
from thirty to thirty-five colored voters left
this city for Indiana. These men have had
employment up 70 the time OF their departure
for Indiana, and no cause can be assigned for
their exodus other than that they are being
taken to Indiana for the purpose of carrying
that State for the Republicans.

ULYSSES GRANT, JR.
A Successful Spectator at the Age of IS
Making Money for His Father.
Milwaukee Daily News.I


milwaukee Daily News.J
Ulysses Grant, Jr., or Buck Grant, as he
is generally called, is now twenty-elght
years old, and one of the most successful
financiers of his age in this country. His
talent in that direction has been fully
brought out during the last two years.
During the closing days of his fathers Presl-
dency he acted as his Private Secretary.
Grant doubted everyone about him when
Babcook fell, and would not allow anyone
but Buck to have access to his
private papers. Buck was at this
time modest smooth-fscsd. medium
sizsd, slim in figure, and very boyish look
ing. His modesiy and real ability, how
ever. made him many friends. Some pow
erIuI men in New York took up Buck when
his father set out 10, Europe Young Ulys-
SEES, who is graduate OF Harvard, thought
that his future was to be developed in the
legal profession. He was, after admission to
the bar, assigned to duty in the District
Attorneys once in New York. There Sec
rotary John Sherman has thrown specials
business in his way. Buck Grant, after
accumulsting small capital under iIfuen-
tisl and powerful auspices, began making
ventures in Wall street. He succeeded so
we'll that he abandoned the law for the more
coming interested, finally, in min
ing stocks, he paid visit 10
the Pacific Coast. where the great bonanza
firm of Flood IL o Brien took him under it's
wing. Mr.. Flood tossed young Buck a few
points, and he made such a good use of
them that the great spectators backed the
young Ulysses in his cruise around the
world of speculation, acting as his mentors
at every point. The docile pupil so made
use of his skillful treining that at the end of
two years he had $4,000 placed to his
credit. 1t was only when this Gum was
reached that the young man proposed a
matrimonial alliance with the great firm.
Buck has now associated with him as partner
his brother, Jesse d. Grant. Buck himself
promises to become one OF the most brilliant
operators in the country. Besides the for
tune that he has made for himself,
he has made several special specu-
lations for his father. Just before
General Grant went to Mexico he intrusted
to Buck Grant $25, 900 for the purpose of
seeing what could be done with il. Buck
Grant, during the absence of his father
cleared for HIM from the capital some $40
600; so General Grant, upon his return, found
q dispatch placing sos 600 at his disposal by
his thrifty son. With this profitable specu-
lstion added to his credit, General Grant is
worth to day in the neighborhood of $780,
600, The union of the Grant and Flood
families is to be followed by an aggregation
OF wealth that will make the families among
the most formidable In point OF influence in
this country. In 1884 if General Grant
bould again be a candidate, it is in tended
that there shall be no money lacking for the
management of a successful campaign.

Our readers will be interested in reading
q brief sketch of Albert G. Porter's life,
which we publish to-day. Some oil the
"reminiscences will rivet attention, particu-
larly those which relate to Mr.. Pofter's re-
gard for the command to ''honor thy father
and thy mother" 1t would be difficult to
exsggerate the beauty Of the picture, where
a son, In the maturity of his manhood is

tect the tottering footsteps of an aged father;
where largeness OF soul and kindness of
heart obscures every infrmity, forgives
every error, and gilds the closing scenes of
life with affections which marit the ap-
plause of all good men, and the sp-
proving smiles of Heaven. We regret
exceedingly that our correspondent finds
in the life of Mr.. Porter facts re-
lating to his treatment OF his father,
that the good people of Indiana can not APP
prove. 1t is written that q man without
music in his soul is prepared for disreputable
transactions; but when son has no affection

dsin and desertion take the place of filisl
duty, there must be something In the intel
lectual and moral make up Of that boy that
would be sadly out of place in the office Of
Governor, and yet we are informed that
Hon. A. G. Porter is that sort o. a son, and
the statement is well calculated to lower
him IN the esteem of all right thinking men.

OF this miserable stuff more than $I6, 900,
600 is now outstanding, snd is probably lost.
So that the Treasury is now boastlng that
the Government has managed to swIndle the
people out of tie entire amount. 1t will be
seen that the Republican party created all
the paper money now IN circulation, and
still it boasts OF being hard money party.
1t created the greenbaok currency, which it
declares to be dishonest money" though
its debauched Supreme Court has decided it
is Constitutional money and legal tender.
But, as il this were not enough,
the r apublican party created the National
Bank currency, now about $3.50, 900 600, and
made it redeemable in greenback currency;
and now, while the party pretends to be
opposed to the greenbacks, 1t Is vociferous in
its approval of the National Bank paper,
which has always been inferior to the
greenbacks. But this is not the
full showing OF the wretched
falsehoods put forth by the Republican
party in its claims as the hard money" and
honest money" party. 1t robbed the coun-
try OF silver fractional currency and substi-
tutei for it, az we have shown, the abomina
bic stun known as 'shinplsster'' currency.
and did this at time when the average prod
ucts of our silver mines were not less than
s25 100000 a year. Nor is this all;
but as II to emphasize its hostility to an
"honest currency" the Republican party
put into circulation the "nickel," five cent
piece, intrinsically worth less than one cent,
and compels the people to accept it, the
sOftest hard money known to civilized ma
tons. Not content with such record of
soft money and initiation record, the
Republican party sought still further
to swindle the people by its financial here
sizes and demonetizlng the silver dollar-the
boldest game of fraud ever perpetrated upon
the business of the country. Il, with such
facts, the people do not see that every time
the Republican party lays claim to being q
"hard money" party that it utters a lie,
then facts supported by figures are no longer
valuable in conducting any controversy.

FROM all portions of Indiana we hear
reports of Republicans who sreabandoning
their pariy-men who believe that the time
for change of administration has arrived.
They are Republicans of honest convictions,
who see that the leaders of their party are

than contribute to such a disgrace they will
abandon the party.

STATE FINANCES.
An Exhaustive Review Of the Subject and
Facts Demonstrated by Figures.
A Brood of Republican Lies Killed In a
Heap.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel:
SIR-The Journal and News in recent edi-
torials, and Rev. W. w. Curry in an inter-
view with an Enquirer reporter, has seen fit
to criticise the management Of the State
finances. There is not one word OF truth in
any of their statements, but there are many
misststements of facts, occssioned, 1 believe
by that most deplorable of all reasons-sn-
tire ignorance of the question on which they
attempt to enlighten the public.
They sllege that the Democratic Legisla-
ture of 1871, in order to make political CAPT.
tai, reduced the State levy to five cents on
the $l00-about one-half enough TO defray
the expet ses of the State government-and
thereby caused deficiency and made it
Necessary for the Republican Legislature
of 1873 to create 8 temporary loan.
The News further. claims that the
embarrassment might have been avoided if
the State debt sinking fund had been trans
ferred to the general fund, aud the failure to
make the transfer is charged up to the &C
count OF the Democratic party. This last
charge is ridiculous.
They also criticise the State officers for not
paying off the loans.
AN EXAMINATION OF THE HISTORY OF THE
LEGISLATURE OF 1871,
call show that in each instance where there
TIM be any cause OF blame it must rest on
we shoulder of some Republican.
The first step toward e lower levy was
taken by Hon. R. S. Taylor, Republican,
who offered a resolution in the House in
structing the Ways and Means Committee
to report bill directing the transfer of the
State debt sinking fund to the general fund,
lin order that the State taxes might be low
cred for the succeeding two years" In
obedience to this resolution, such bill was
promptly reported. and passed the House
without dissenting vote. 1t failed to be-
come q law because on that same evening
thirty-four Republican members of the
House resigned their Offices and thus
brought that session OF the Legislature TO q
close.
The bill providing for revenue for State
purposes, and fixing the levy at five cents on
the $780, passed both House and Senate by
unanimous votes. In all the proceedings
had on this bill not a speech was made, not
a claim put forth, that the levy would raise
sufficient money to pay all the expenses of
the State Government, and no one offered
an objection. When Mr.. Neff reported the
bill, he presented the following statement,
based upon estin ates made by the Republi-
can Auditor of State, which was deemed
conclusive:
