TUITION PEE SESSION OF rwELYE WEEKS:

investigation of the subject, summoning wit
nesses from all parts Of the State The exist
ence Of the organization and its reasonable
character were established beyond doubt The
exposure made by the grand jury created pro
found sensation and alarm. This secret organi-
cation was kept up until the close of the war
and never relaxed its efforts to encourage the re-
bellion and foment trouble in the North.
Space would fail US to recount these efforts
The organization was complete, and was capable
of wide, concerted action. Its members were
armed and drilled 1t contemplated the murder
| OF Governor Morton, the release Of the rebel
| prisoners at indianapolis, the seizure of the
state government and military cooperation
with the rebels. In the autumn Of 1864 it was
estimated to number so. 900 members in Indiana.
At this time Governor Morton, being in posses
sion OF full information in regard to the organi-
cation and its plans determined on bold stroke.
Six of the leaders were arrested, including the
Grand Commander of Indiana, the Deputy Grand
Commander and four major4generals in different
parts of the State.
They were tried by military commission, and
the evidence on the trials established all that we
have stated relative to the extent and reasonable
character of the organization, and much more.
During the trial the Grand Commander made
his escape at night bya window of the United
/ States courthouse and fed to Canada He and
four Of the other prisoners were found
| guilty Of the charges against them and were
| sentenced to death The sentence was approved
and the day fixed for their execution, but Presi-
dent johnson committed the sentence to impris-
onment in the Ohio penitentiary, and they were
subsequently pardoned. They all continued to
be members in good standing Of the Democratic
/ party IN Indiana, and some Of them were subse-
kqnentiy more than once elected to high offices.
Those who survive are still good Democrats, and
those who are dead died firm IN the faith.
The foregoing statement merely touches on
some salient points of the record Of the Indiana
+ Democracy during the war To say that it is
an infamous record is mild language. 1t is a
record from which neither the party nor Mr..
| Hendricks, who was one of its trusted leaders
then, and its candidate for Vice president now,

Viley's friends expressed great sympathy for
him The condition of hisSroom at the Calf
House shows that he left it suddenly and unex
pectedly. The wardrobe doors were found ajar
and his trunk had not been closed Hat boxes
and articles of clothing were found scatteredpro-
miscuousy about the floor, and everything re-
manned except what he wore away. He is said
not to have taken much as valse with him.
Sympathyeis expressed for Wiley for two reasons.
The chief one is this About two years ago
Mr. Wiley was absent from the city for the pc
Rod of month During his stay Payne found
it necessary to raise ready funds, and did SO by
hypotheeating few warehouse receipts After
Vileys return the subject was not mentioned to
him until month or so later, when it was found
necessary to raise more cash.
Then it was that Payne explained to his part
ner the slick scheme which he had taken adyan-
tage Of on previous occasion. and which could
be worked successfully and without the slightest
danger. Yiley's friends say that he objected
and that it was some time before he could be
persuaded to enter the conspiracy to swindle the
banks After that the experience was repeated
frequently, which fact has been attested in the
disclosures made when the affairs of the firm
passed into the hands of the assignee. Again, it
is said that Payne had almost exclusive charge
of the business in the Office, and that numerous
fraudulent transactions were made without vi
ley's knowledge.
The failure has occasioned genuine sensa-
ton in the business and social community.
Both men represent the Oldest and most respect
able families in the State, and this, coupled
with the high repute IN which they were held
in this city, adds to the exciting interest OF the
downfall

Gould, eloped from her home in Yonkers, to-day
with Ernest Schehing. her fathers coachman
Miss Morosini is the eldest daughter of G. p.
Morosini and her fathers wealth and social po-
sition in this city have given her more than the
usual advantages of most young ladies' of her age,
both at her fathers home in this city and at his
handsome country residence at Yonkers. She
has been regarded as one Of the most eligible of
New York bellies. Miss Morosini has had
her share of fashionable wooers, her
fathers box at the Metropolitan Opera
house; and on the quarterback of Jay
Gould's fast-fying Atlanta she has been the OBJ
served of all observers. She is Of medium height,
has fair fresh complexion andlight wavy brown
hair The announcement tonight, from Yonk-
ers, that she had eloped with her fathers coach
man, has been the talk Of tic clubs and hotel 70
tundas all evening. Ernest j. Schelling is a
young Englishman, who has served as Mr.. Moro
sini's coachman for nearly year He is quite
TALL with dark hair and side whiskers and the
lightest shade of down on his upper lip. His APP
pearance on the box handling the ribbons over
her fathers handsome bays, with Miss Morosini
the only occupant of the carriage, has frequently
created no little comment among the fashionable
residents of Yonkers: however much the gossps
talked, none ever expected that quiet
drama was In rehearsal the announcements Of
which would startle the village as it did to-day
Miss Morosini had left her home in the after !
noon with the apparent expectation of returning
at s o'clock for dinner. Schelling, who had been
discharged several days previous, is supposed to
have met her on the road between her fathers
house and the depot two miles away, and the
two departed from the town together. The
daughter not returning to dinner, her fathers
suspicious were aroused and search at once
made Word was telegraphed to superintendent
Walling in this city, giving descriptions of the
clipping couple and requesting their arrest if
found Detectives were at once sent in pursuit,
and it is not possible that the whereabouts of
the young couple can long remain a mystery.
Mr.. Morosini was seen at his handsome resi-
dence tonight by a correspondent He was
greatly affected by the action Of his daughter,
and with difficulty controlled himself to say: II

The Phrase Better Element"

The term ''better clement" says
the Boston Herald, has no relation to
partisan politics or to any classification
OF men based upon wealth, education
or social position. A voter belongs to
the "better element no matter with
which party he acts or what may be
his station in life, who has an intelli-
gent interest in good government and
who discharges conscientiously all his
dutie5 as 2 citizen. A man belongs to
the ''worser clement again, without
respect to his party affiliations, his
property or his rank, who has selfish
or dishonest interest in his government
or who seeks to mislead or defraud the
voters in the election
Some of the wealthiest men are
among the worst citizens. They either
shirk their political duties altogether
and thus prove themselves undeserving
of their birthright of freedom and self
sovereignty or they use their money
and their talents to corrupt and mis-
lead voters for selfish or partisan ends.
Some OF the poorest men-those who
depend upon their daily toll for their
daily bread and have scant supply of
even the necessaries of life-are among
the best citizens, for they vote stead
fastly on the side of honest and eco
nomic government for the best men,
without regard to party, and often at
sacrifice of time which they can i'll
afford to make

GordOn's LacOnic Telegrams.

Gen. Gordon S telegram to Khartoum
is thoroughly characteristic, recalling
the laconie terseness of his famous
speech when he entered upon his duties
as governor general of the Soudan. 1t
was expected that he would make q
long address, but he dismissed the as
sembly with single sentence: 81 will
try to hold the balance even" These
pregnant savings of Gordon will serve
as the finger-posts of the history of his
mission. When his views on the Sou
dan appeared in our columns, he re-
marked: "a shot has been fired. ~
When he was sent to the Soudan, he
said: Il have received orders to cut
the dogs tail off, and | will do it, 'cosste
que coute. ~ AtPort Said, when some
one asked him if he would not prevent
the evacuation of Khartoum, he an
swered, dryly: Il shall probably obey
my instructions. At Cairo, when he
refused an escort, he exclaimed: 81
will 60 with an army or go alone. -
And now, the latest of the series of
these utterances. and perhaps the most
characteristic of all: You are men,
not women. Be not afraid. / am

In an editorial in the April Cent,4y'g,
entitled 'tMob or Magistrate, the fol-
lowing comparison is made between
murder and the application of justices:
over against the fifteen hundred murL
ders OF the last year, we have the re-
port of barely ninety-three legal execu-
tions. Many of these. must have been
cases in which the crime had been
committed in 1882, while many of the
criminals of 1883 had not vet been
brought to trial. 1t is not, however,
far from the truth to say that. while
thirteen or fourteen hundred murders
are committed in this country every
year, fewer than hundred of the muir
derers suffer the extreme penalty of
the law. When the willful SLAYER
knows that he has thirteen chances ont
of fourteen of escaping the full penalty
of the law, the deterrent influence of
punishment cannot be said to be very
powerful.
''Ihe small number of murderers
hanged by the sheriffs, and the greater
mum per hanged by the mobs, should
oe evidence enough that the admins
tratlon of our criminal courts in many
quarters IS fatally defective, and needs
reforming. The only classes of pers
sons interested in maintaining the
present state of things are the crimi-
mails and the criminal lawyers; and it
Is not for their exclusive benefit that
society is organized. The contrast
between the swift, firm and sure meth
DDS of English and Continental courts
IN dealing with great criminals, and
the tardy, feeble, and abortive methods
OF our own, should sting our national
pride to some energetic measures of
reform. The people must rouse them
selves to demand more vigorous en-
forcement OF the laws, and they must
see to it that judges and prosecuting
attorneys are chosen who have the
ability and the will to bring evil-doers
to justice. The judges on the bench
may well inquire whether the protec-
tlon of the criminal has not assumed
disproportionate Importance in our
criminal procedure. II, in our fear
lest an innocent man may suffer, the
law itself, which is the only protection
OF innocent men. becomes utterly par
alyzed, then there is call for revis-
ION of our methods and our maxims,
and the infusion O.: q new spirit into
our laws. Every Judge who will brush
aside the hair-splitting devices of the
lawyers, and insist that criminal trials
shall be conducted with rigor and di-
rectness of purpose, will deserve, and
Will be likely to win, the approval of
his fellow-citizens."

A Dual Existence.

A woman, giving her name as Mrs.
O'Brien Luttrell, living at Stony Road,
Paterson, n. j., was before the Record
er of that city to invoke his assistance
in relieving her from a peculiar affi ic-
ton. She says there is society of
men who have the power of taking
away the souls of people and subjecting
these souls to all sorts of unpleasant
treatment, returning them to their
owners when through with them. Her
soul has thus been taken away at times
and she wants this sort of thing stop
ped. About two years ago her soul
was taken away from Patterson to India
one night, and was there dragged into
chapel and united in marriage to a
British colonel. She is now the mother
OF spiritual boy, | year old, who is a
fine, healthy little fellow, but she is
not permitted to bring him into the re-
alistic world, much as she desires to do
SO. to show him to her friends.
The woman, who is represented as in
other respects perfectly sane and kind
and atfectionate, thus lives a strange
double existence, one phase of which is
to her as real as the other. 1t is incon-
yenient at times, for some days ago
she sent for a physician to whom size
related how she had been cruelty as
saulted and beaten, so that she was
sore all over her person. He found her
bandaged from head to foot, and on
making careful examination found
not sign of injury. 1t then occurred
to her that the assault had been
made by the spirits, and that, of course,
he could not find on her natural body
any signs of their bad treatment of her
spiritual body, but she felt much pain
nevertheless. She is single woman,
but uses on all occasions the name of
the British colonel to whom she be-
lieves herself united spiritually. The
Recorder told her he could not issue
warrants for the arrest of the ring
leaders of the society who interfered
with her soul, and he did not believe
any power short of The Supreme Court
of the United States could affefd her
relief in the premises. She differen-
TALLY agreed with him, and saws she
will bring the matter to the attention
OF that august tribunal.-N. Y. Times.

The Way Of the World.

There safe a crow on a lofty tree,
Watching the world go by;
He saw throng that swept along
With laughter loud and high
"In and out through the motley rout
Pale ghosts stole on unseen.
Their hearts were longing for one sweet
word
OF the love that once had been,
But never a lip there spoke their names,
Never a tear was shed;
The crow looked down from his lofty tree,
''1is the way of the world" he said.
A singer stood in the market place,
Singing a tender lay,
But no one needed his sorrowful face,
No one had time 10 stay.
H turned away; he sang no more;
How could he sing in vain?
And then the world came to his door,
Bidding him sing again,
But he reched not whether they came or
went,
He in his garret dead.
The crow looked down from his lofty tree,
'''1is the way of the world" he said.
There safe Queen by a cottage bed,
Spake to the widow there;
Did she not know the same hard blow
The peasant had to bear?
And she kissed tnat humble peasants brow
ard then she bent her knee:
"God of the widow. help her now,
AS thou hast helped me-"
"Now God be thanked" said the old, old
crow,
AS he sped from his lofty bough:
