THE SITUATION IN INDIANA.
The Democrats Confident Of Carrying the
State-Republicans Building their Hopes
Upon Green back Votes.

The Democrats Confident Of Carrying the
stste-Republicans Building their Hopes
Upon Greenbaok Votes
WASHINGTON, August 4.-Judge
Roach, former law-partner Of Senator
Mcdonald, who has Just returned from
Indiana, says: ave feel confident of
carrying the State, but We have got the
hardest fight on onr hands we've ever
had. The Republicans start in this year
in better shape than they were when
they ended the campaign OF 1875, and
they are confident. They do not count
upon winning any recruits from the
Democrats. Their calculations OF success
is basel upon the Greenback vote. In
1879 the Greenbackers cast, in round
numbers, $1,000 votes The Repub.
licans calculate that 26,0O0 Of that
number came from their party and
$4,000 from ours; that this year these
voters will fall back into their old par
ties, and, therefore, the Republicans will
get to two to our one. The Democratic
leaders in Indiana express themselves
as very we'll satisfied with the situation.
Mr.. English, the Democratic candidate
iOt ISsiuCut, tOItl tldl iiC
would certainly carry the State, and /
put more faith in his opinion than that
OF any other man. Senator Mcdonald,
whose judgment is next in value to that
of English, says he is satisfied We
will elect our State ticket and a
majority OF the Congressman. /
talked with Landers and VOORHEES,,
aud both believe We are sure to
win, but that We have desperate fight
on hand. Our folks appreciate the fact
that the Republicans mean to carry the
State in October ii money and energy
can do it; and, therefore. the Democrats
are working with all their might. There
is no truth whatever in the assertion
that Landers is weak candidate. We
could not have chosen a stronger, and
lhe report that there was proposition
put Hendricks in this place was manu-.
factured out OF whole cloth. Except in
two districts we have the strongest pos
sible candidates for Congress-men who
are stronger than their party. There is
nothing to discourage Democrats in the
situation in Indiana, but, on the con.
trary, every thing to encourage them.
Every move OF the Republican campaign
so far has failed. and we have the van.

and it is believed that the most. OF them
are held in small amounts. II any cap
italist held any amount and was dis
passed to take issue with the Treasury
Department on its recent order, the
opinion is entertained that the latter
would promptly back down from its po-
sition and conform to the law, but un-
fortunately the people who invested
their small savings in these certificates
are not able to raise any issue, and for
this reason will have to submit.

Greenback Independent party was
thoroughly organized in but one portion
OF the State, and that was the counties
composing the district now represented
by Congressman Lowe, Greenbacker.
Madison, Limestone and Morgan. which
gave him majorities two years ago, gave
handsome Democratic majorities this
year, and the Greenback State and
county tickets will probably be defeated
in every county Of the district. The
Democrats will elect all the Judges and
Chancellors and nearly all Legislators
and county officers.

LONDON, August AT 2:30 this af-

OF the fever is very weak.
LONDON, August 4.-The Times says
the doctor visited Mr.. Gladstone at l0:30
last night, and found his symptoms
favorable. He did not issue any formal
bulletin. II there is no relapse the doctor
is shopeful that Mr.. Gladstone will be well
enough to appear in the House Of Com

friends will urge him to leave town as
soon as it is safe for him to travel to

A CURIOSITY.
A Department Wherein the CLERKS Earn
their Money.

WASHINGTON, August AT present
the only branch of the government
showing animation and life is the Census
Bureau. Nearly 500 clerks, &c, are en-
ployed. generally at salaries ranging
from $500 to 81 500, and they earn their
money, which is more than can be said
of mos: government employees. The
labor to be performed in compiling and
arranging the census tables is simply
immense. The schedules are now COM
ing in at the rate of cart load daily,
and the census building is crowded frcm
cellar to garret with large force Of
clerks AR mging, compiling and ins 2ect-
ing these turns.

No Interest to Be Allowed in Converting
Refundins Certificates Into Bonds.


WASHINGTON, August 4.-There is
considerable dissatisfaction in financial
quarters at the recent announcement by
the Treasury Department that il will
not allow interest to be included i'm the
conversion OF the per cent. refundiny
certificates into per cent. bonds. At
the time these certificates were issued.
one OF the inducements offered TO tbe
people to take them was that the inter.
est, as well as the principal, might be con-
verted, and the certificate itself, a. well
as the law under which they are issned
reads that the principal and in,
terest may be converted into
per cent. bonds. The action
OF the department now in refusing 10 in.
clude interest in the conversion is
looked upon as both arbitrary and con.
trsry to law. The assigned reason for
not including the interest is that i,
would be very inconvenient, and give
Treasury Department accountants no
end OF trouble. There are only 81 700.
COO Of these certificates outstanding

The Defeat Of the Compensation Bill.
LONDON, August 4.-The vote by

A Pertinent Question.

eviction of tenants who can be proved
to be unable to pay their rents owing tc
the recent distress in Ireland.
Tho Afghan Disaster-Ths Times Heav'
lily Censures General Burrowa
LONDON, August 4.-The Times sayi
there is no use in Disgusting the fact
that the disaster to General Burrows
force was a very lamentable affair
Firstly, General Burrows was guilty o.
an error OF Judgment, considering the
weakness of his force, in abandon
ing his defensive position. Secondly
he appears to have accepted the battle
in parallel order, and not TO have at
tempted any manoeuvering. Thirdly
it is evident the Bombay sepoys wer'
OF such inferior physique they could no
stand up to the stalwart Ghazsis wht
bore down on them sword in hand
Giving way to the sudden panic, the,
mobbed the veteran Sixty-sixth regl
ment, and caused the almost total ami
hilation of that fipe corps. The 'avalrl
do not seem to have operated with
much effect The suffering Of the trOop'
in their uninterrupted fight OF fort.

present season is the hottest time OF tn,
