Army Remintsoeuce-Personal valor.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
In the winter OF lS64-65 while lying in front
of Petersburg. the Army of the Potomac was
assembled at Patrick's Station The occasion
was the public presentation by General Meade
of thirty-six gold medals, awarded to the nom
commissioned officers and enlisted men of the
army for acts of personal bravery, and for which
they had been specially commended in orders.
There were probably at that time two hundred
and fifty regiments and parts OF regiments
in the army. OF this number Indiana
had one little regiment, composed of vet
Grams from the Fourteenth Nine
teenth and Twentieth regiments, consOl
dated into the Nineteenth. The occasion was
one of n,ore than common interest ana the reg
lments Immediately interested drawn up
in front of the stand where was seated tine Gen
eral commanding, surrounded by his
staff. When the music rendered by
the numerous bands connected with the army
had ceased the General ordered to the front the
hrOnzPd and SCARED veterans to receive from
his hands the medals. more brilliant than gold,
though FURNISHED never so bright, which the
country had awarded them. Out OF the thirty
six. four went to the little Indiana regiment.

The following was General Jackson's reply:
"Wth the warmest sensations that can inspire
q grateful heart, must decline accepting the
honor intended to be bestowed. / cannot con-
sent that my mortal body shall be placed in a
repository prepared for an Emperor King.
My republican feelings and principles forbid it.

of our republican institutions and

Mr.. Star Route Dorsey has been in
terviewed lately by u reporter for the
Chicago Herald. While he disclaims
all responsibility for the recent expose
in the New York Sun, he says the facts
set forth therein are substantially true,
and intimates that the half has not
yet been told. We quote from the re-
port of the Herald interviewer
Mr.Dorsey listened attentively while
the Gould Stanley Matthews story was
read, then he said 1t was purely ficti-
titious as told, yet based upon truth,
with the main facts correct. Gould
and Garfield's friends were brought
together; the former and G.. P. Hun
tington each subscribed $50, 900. Tom
Platt brought the money to him Dor
sey) in Indianapolis; $50, 900 was spent
in Indiana, the balance in Ohio.
But was the appointment of Stan.
ley Matthews part of the bargain?"
"Well, now, ought not to answer
that in so many words. You see, the
appointment of Matthews had been
pending in the Hayes Administra-
tion."
"But as an actual fact, was not the
appointment renewed in consideration
of the Gould and Huntington subscrip.
tions?"
Well, since you press me so hard
I will say yes, l think it was"
Who, besides yourself, knows o.
that agreement or understandings
Well, Tom Platt knows, guess
and" here smiling complacently-
II guess Whitelaw Reid knows some
thing about it. However, don't care
to say much on the subject. 1 think
the matter will come up this Winter
in Congress, and then we shall get al
the whole truth. Then Garfield will
get justice and some of the others will
get their deserts, too"

BOSTON, August 5.-The suspension
late on Saturday of the leather house
of Hersey, Whittier & Wymsn causes
considerable uneasiness. A careful AN
alysis of the situation, however, shows
no cause for general alarm. 1t is possi-
BILE the firm may pay its liabilities in
full, and that Lewis. w. Mute, of Natio,
a special partner to the amount OF $780,
600, will be able to save a portion of
his capital. With the exception of
Hersey, Whittier u Wyman, the only
real failure has been f. Shaw & Bros.
The other concerns were doing solv-
ent and profitable business, but their
statements will probably show they
can pay but about twenty cents on the
dollar. In each case their liabilities
are on notes on which the name of F.
Shaw & Brothers appear. The liabili-
ties of r. Shaw & Brothers are chiefly
ON two name papers of about IS 900, 600.
The liabilities of e. H. Copeland & Co,
| G. II. Ward, S. @. & J. G.. Phinney,
Macomber & Greenwood, and G. w.
Clement are about $3.0OO,0 900, But ii
would be entirely erroneous to say that
the total liabilities of the failed firms
is Sc, ,000, 900, for the debts of these last
are simply joint liability for the main
portion of Shaw Bros debts. The
banks are the principal creditors of al
the suspended firms, but the paper is
so widely distributed that no institu
tion is at all shaken. In the Bostor
bank holding the largest amount o
this paper, if it should prove a tota
loss, the profit and loss account of thu
Einstitution will wipe it all out withou
having recourse to the surplus fund t.
say nothing of the capital. The failur
of Hersey, Whittier & Wyman is no
expected to bring about any fresh dis
aster.

Carey Killed.

LONDON, July 31.-James Carey, the
informer, was shot and killed while
landing from the steamer Melrose at
Port Elizabeth, South Africa, Sunday
evening, by fellow passenger named
O'Donnell. Carey left London on the
9th for Cape Town, on the steamer
Kinfaurs Castle, and with other pas
sengers was transferred to the coasting
steamer Melrose, bound for Port Eliz-
abeth, Natal, and other points. O'Don-
nell, who is supposed to be a Fenian
agent, followed Carey from London,
both sailing in the same steamer.
Carey died a few moments after being
shot. O'Donnell making no attempt
to escape, was arrested and turned over
to the police at Port Elizabeth. There
is great excitement in England and
Ireland at the news.
The Cincinnati Times Star says:
One year ago James Carey was q
prominent property holder and an
nonored member of the Town Council
in the city of Dublin. Less than six
months later he confessed on trial to
his own partici patton in the Phenix
Park assassinations,. and to save his
neck from the halter he volunteered
Information upon which five Of his
associates were hung, From that day
the brand of Cain was upon him and
his fate was sealed. His tenants re-
fused to pay their rents, his fellow
members of the city Council expelled
him in disgrace. and the Government
was put to one expedient after another
to shield him from the avengers bullet
which at last found him out. Carey's
murder was horrible crime, but there
will be few found to sympathize with
a man who was himself the most cow
ardly of assassins and the most igno-
minious of traitors.

IN his Corning speech to laborers,
farmers and miners, Judge Foraker
undertook to frame an argument by
which he could reduce to nothing the
friction between buyer and seller, and
have both satisfied and brought into
accord through the protective bounty.
That which it is the aim of commun-
ism to accomplish, Judge Foraker at
tempts to demonstrate as actually ac-
complished by the high bounty system.
The bounty is not a tax, according to
him. 1t reduces the price of the man
ufacturer's products without reducing
his profits, and he is satisfied; it re-
duces the price of that which is the
product of labor without reducing the
wages of labor, and the wOrkingman
is satisfied it reduces the price of the
article the farmer has to buy, and he
is satisfied; it enhances the price of
| that which the farmer sells and the
laborer buys, and the farmer is again
/ satisfied, and labor does not mind it
because, as he says, the price of labor
is not diminished. A wonderful alem-
bic is Judge Foraker's mind, in which
such antagonistic and apparently ire
ducible elements can be transmitted
into such an harmonious whole. That
of which wild communistic theorists
dream, the reduction of discordant
interests and perfect harmony between
buyers and sellers, he has reached, In
his mind, through the protective tariff.
