Democratic Converts in Indiana.

A statement which appeared in tho Wash.
ington Post some days ago, to the effect that
many republicans in Indiana were coming out
for Hancock, and giving the names of George
Barnhart, and n young lawyer named Alley
and DR.. Farow of Columbus, Ind, as of the
number who had ronounced republicanism,
was sent to prominent citizen of that
place, with the request that he in form his cor.
respondent whether or not the Posts article
was true. The following is his reply;
COLUMBUS IND, Aug. 10, 1880.
"MY DEAR SIR: i am glad to have n chance
to correct one of the lies published by demo.
cratic papers.
George Barnhart lives in Hope this county.
He is employed at SO per day to drill tile
Hancock guards. The company number
twenty-five, old and young, some of whom
we're recruited last night, They have no uni.
form, aud have not yet been able to get enough
together to have respectable drill. Barnhart
tells republicans he will vote for Garfield and
all the republican ticket
"Mr, Alley Is young man from Decatur
county, who will east his first presidential
vote this fall. His father is so intensely
democratic that II Is said he threatened to dis.
inherita son for proposing to vote the republic
can ticket, This young man read law fora while
In the Office ofu firm Ofrepublican lawyers and
II WAS thought for time that he would break
away from his hereditary democracy aud vote
for Porter ana Garfield. Aherward he went
into the Office Of democratic lawyer, and hu
will now probably hold on TO his democracy.
lIo never was n republican. Another person
mentioned in the P2gts article, DR.. Fnrron,
was formerly grOaubacker, but his neighbors
say he will vote for Garfield. | know many
democrats in this county who are outspoten
In their dissatisfaction with their ticket,
national, state and county. Some will not
vote for any part of the ticket Others for Il
part, but not an There Is more disatIection
In the democratic party now than have ever
known before. They advertised grand rally
at this place on Saturday last. Courers were
sent into every township, urging the faithful
to attend. 1t WAS miserable failure, aud
they have since seemed very much depressed
There is no question about our prospects in
this part Of the state being most excellent for
carrying the state both in October and No.
vcmber by good majorties | came to this
conclusion from the following fucts: The re-
publcans are us one man for the whole ticket.
There Is no dissatisfaction. They are enthu,
sastiG aud aggressive and lead in all the po.
litical movements. The democrats talk con.
hdeuily of their prospects but their actions
show q lack Of enthusiasm, Tho people will
not consent 10 turn the government over to
those who fought so long against it, YOU
need not fear for Indiana"
The writer then proceeds 20 give the names
of more than q dozen democrats Of his acquain.
Anco who will y5to for Porter and Garfield,
but asks that the names be withheld from
publication because Of the annoyance which
such publicity would give " the parties.

LONDON, Aug. 23.-A dispatch to the Times
from. Berlin says; "A telegram from Kis.
Singer states that the Bavaran ministers of
worship aud foreign affairs arrived there last
week and instantly held n conference with
Prince Bismarck, who intends toward the end
Of the present week to go to Gastein, where
hc will again take up tho thread of the ne
gotiations with the vatican. Ho may possibly
meet Cardinal Howard, who is spoken Of rs
the successor of Monsignor Jacobini as the
papal nuncio at Vienna. The object of such
meeting would be to deliberate on the act
recently passed amending the Falk laws,
which neither answers the intentions Of the
Prussian government nor tho wishes of the
catholics, and TO bring about the recall of tho
elected bishops aud fill the cures of vacant
parishes. Prince Bismarck heartily desires to
put an cnd 10 the culture kampf, and there is
no saying that lie may not consent to talk
over church matters once more with some
agent Of the pope at Gastoin."

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.--The following dated
Keogh, August 20, has just boon received ut
headquarters here, coming via st. Paul:
By telegram received from Indian Inspector
Pollock, dated Bnford, 10Th Instant, the indi.
cations do not look so favorable. He reports
the uncapapas of Sitting Bulls tribn pre-.
vented the large number Of hostile Indians
from crossing the Missouri to come and sur
render, and that the number actually en- route
to surrender under Big Road or Broad Trail Is
much less than at first reported. Rain.in-the-
Face and forty Indians arc still at tho agency
silent and sulen. This report also states that
the warriors were moving south and the
women and children north aud it does not
look well. l believe the disposition Of the
troops, as recommended in my telegram of the
18th instant, would result iavorably.

Circulating silver Dollars.

\ new regulation intended to facilitate the

for the amount called for by the deposit will
be sent direct to the superintende ent of tho

tors certificates were mailed TO Washington,
and transfer letters issued by the treasurer Of

thcrepulation of being fliend and guarauteor
of poace. In showing by his speeches Of the
9th instant that he ronouuccd this title he
did not create panic in Germany, but gave
rise to feeling of ast0nishmont and sincere
regret. Tho policy of Germany, therefore,
will remain peaceful us hitherto, but her con.

manifestation of feeling shows that tho war
party in France has numerous adhcrents in
the ranks of the republicans. Should France,
under the leadership of NJ. GHmbetta, wish to
continue the traditions of Louis XIV, Louis
XIV, and the first aud tho third Napoleon, we
will be obliged to famiiiariz ourselves with the
thought that the maintenance of peace upon
our western frontier remains insecure. The
only thingis that peacefully disposed majorties
in both countries must be made aware who is
threatening peace. Germany will not become
weary Of demonstrating her anxiety to pre-.
serve peace aud her horror of war But we
regret that the warlike spirit which now, as

were stolen from the bank at Wcsport, Conn,
were among those present, The counsel for
tho defense said he was thore to con.
slider the different complaints against Alliger,
but 1t appeared there was only one before
the court, that of Mr., O'Connor. Judge Smith
said thore was only ono complaint nt present,
and that, with the exception Of Mr.. Jordan OF
the Third National bank, other bank officers
were absent. The counsel for the defense
maintained his clients innocence aud asked
that he be admitted to bail in nominal sum
pending tho trial, Ho therefore waived
further examination and Judge Smith fixed
the bail ut $4,000 on the present charge. The
accused was reminded to the care of the
central office detectives, rs bis friends had not
