ARRESTING A GOVERNOR.
Marshall Macy Serves Warrant on Govern
or Ireland but Makes No Arrest

AUSTIN, Aug. 26-United States Marshal
Tracy arrived in this city to-day and entered the
Governors Office this afternoon, bent on the
erHand of arresting Governor Ireland under the
warrant issued in the Francois case Tracy
introduced the subject, saying Governor, L
suppose you know what am here forla The
Governor made suitable reply Tracy said he
regretted the necessity that he should have to
perform such an official duty as arrest the Gov
enor of Texas, and presented his warrent Coy
ernor Ireland, at this juncture, relieved
Colonel Tracy Of some trepidation apparent by
saying he would always cheerfully submit to
a process legal on its face, and would answer at
court, as required, but he considered that the
marshal of the Eastern district of Texas had no
authorize here (outside of his distriet); that
the proceedings at Galveston were with
out shadow of fact upon which to
base case This being so, while he
made no resistance to the writ and would
answer as any citizen should, he would hold
Tracy and others who had interested themselves
in the matter responsible for their conduct.
Tracy referred the Governor to the United States
statute on the subject which the Gov
ernor declared he had already ex-
amlned, and he so explained their
tenor that Tracy, without making an arrest left
the Office to consult United States District-at-
torney Evans; taking the warrant with him In
a couple of hours Tracy returned and informed
the Governor that he would not execute the
warrant, stating that he had consulted with
Judge Evans, who verbally condemned the pro-
4ceedings in strong language.

scHURz,s GRIEvANCE.

He Assists the Democracy Because of Per-
sonal Dislike of Blaine.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
SEYMOUR, Ind, Aug. 26. The Seymour and
Columbus Journal, an Independent German
paper, prints, under the heading, "Carl,Schurz
and His Influence on the German Republican
Vote, the following editorial:
mo one, of all the Germans among our Re
publican citizens. has been honored by the Re
publican party as Carl Schurz. He was made
general, senator, representative to a foreign
court, and member of Mr.. Hayes's Cabinet. We
may truly say that in him seemed to be centered
all the honor glory, trust and high calling and
affections that the native Republican element
could bestow upon an individual OF the German
American Republicans To no other man of our
nationality was given one-half as much honor
and yet,C Carl Schurz, because he had personal
quarrel with the Republican presidential candi-
date a few years ago in Congress. and because
he disikes Mr. Blaine now thinks he has
chance to prevent his election to the presidency,
and therefore joins the Democracy not because
he is a Democrat, but Just for the sake of re-
venge for supposed wrong
''Schurz, in his foolish pride and egotlsm, be-
lieves that he can carry the independent and
German Republican vote over to the Democracy,
in which he is sadly mistaken; for we do not
know any of our readers who have over voted
the Republican ticket, but one, who says he
thinks he will go with the Democrats this fall,
but is not quite sure that he will do So He only
is taken in with the cry of reform and
change, hoping that Democratic administra
ton might do better for awhile. But this one
reader has no cause whatever to be discontented
with the Republican party, for he became rich
under the last four administrations, and knows
nothing of Democratic misrule before the war
as he was not in this country, and also too young
Those German Republicans who went with the
Democrats two years ago on account of the pro-
hibition scare, have seen that they were badly
cheated
1.-THE quarrel of Carl Schurz with Mr. Blaine
was entirely of personal nature. Schurz has for
years been looked upon by his countrymen as an
aristocrat Since he left President Hayess Cabi-
net and became the editor Of the New York
Evening Post, his influence over the German
mind has entirely ceased. He is looked upon as
a renegade and spoiled old boy We ask,
did the Democratic party ever honor German or
other foreign born citizen as Carl Schurz has been
honoredl We say never; and it never will again.
There were thousands of well-educated patriotic
German-A American Republicans who did Just as
much as Schurz for their adopted country, but
who were never recognized or honored with fat
places; they were real patriots and never asked
for recognition We are now more than ever
Satisfied that Unsuitable pride and ambition were
the main motives in Schnrz's composition. 1t is
well Blaine will be elected while Schurz has
taken the train on the road TO Salt river But
he left his baggage, the Westliche Post on the
Republican triumphal wagon. Good bye Carl"

Reunion of the Soldiers Of the Northwest
Logan'S Speech.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26-Four thousand veterans of
the late war; with 5000 of their friends, partici-
patedin the opening exercises, of the reunion of
the soldiers and sailors of the Northwest, at
the driving park this afternoon. Governer
Hamilton, of Illinois, delivered the address Of
welcome, followed by General Logon, who was
accorded an enthusiastic reception The General
eulogized the unselish, patriotic impulse that
had impelled the volunteers and paid an
eloquent tribute to their achievements, detailing
at some length the services of men from
Illinois, and mentioning the record of the regi-
ment commanded by himself at the outbreak of
the war He concluded as follows: What
was as a soldier you made me; you did the work;
you braved the hardships, and to you CRATE
fully accord the honor Let us teach the lessons
of patriotism to our children, and let it be under
stood by all that an American citizen
is entitled to protection wherever our
flag floats, at home or abroad y
Other speakers were Mayor Harrison, ex- Gov
ernor Oglesby and Gen. j. G. Black A pleas
ing feature was The Battle Hymn of the Re-
public sung by Miss Alice Mitchell, the vet
erans joining in the chorus. Naming the en-
campment in honor of the lamented Colonel Null
ligan was the occasion for general commenda
tion as fitting remembrance to the dead hero
The reunion. ends on Saturday. Tomorrow
there will be a grand review.

AERIAL NAVIGATION.
English UnbeIief in the Success of Renard's
Self-Propelling Balloon.

English Unbelief in the Success of Renar1's
Self-Propelling Balloon.
LONDON Aug. 26-English aeronants have
been greatly interested by the report of M.
.Herve Mangon to the Paris Academy of Science
of the success of Capt Renards self-propelling
balloon which M Mangon said had been tried at
Mendon with the most satisfactory results Ev-
cry one admits that if the Renard apparatus can
do what is claimed for it, the problem of aerial
navigation is well-nigh solved. The officers Of
the Aeronautical Society of Great Britain have
sent request to M. Mangon for drawings and
detailed descriptions of Capt Renard's invention
and the Balloon Society of Great Britain is to
hold special meeting to consider the subject
Many balloonists are full of hope that the new
invention may prove to be what has
been looked for since the days of the Mongol-
Tiers, but Mr.. Coxwell, the veteran aeronaut
whose ascensions have charmed more than one
generation of pleasure seekers at the Crystal
Palace is very contemptuous in his remarks
about the French wonder. He pooh -poohs the
alleged steering of the balloon against the wind,
and says that he would as expect a cat to
fly as for balloon, such as Captain Renard's, to
beat against the wind. He says that the balloon
may have done all that is described by NJ. Man
that no real test has been made of its steering
power Mr. Coxwell is of the opinion that the
problem of navigating the air is as far from So
luton ever, and declares that it never will be
solved until some genius invents motor which
shall combine great power with a degree of
WelghtlessneSS beyond anything now known to
mechanical or electrical science.

AN Ex-coNFEDERATE FoR BLAINE,

Southern Colonel Forsakes the Democratic
Party in Disgust with It.
Wheeling w. ya.) Special.
Colonel John S. Swan, of Charleston. cousin
OF General Grant, and an exconfederate, who
has until now proudly proclaimed himself ian
unreconstructed rebel, and proud of it. comes
out in to-morrows Intelligencer in long letter
addressed to my comrades and our young men
of the South in which he declares his inten-
ton to support and vote for Blaine and Logan,
and gives his reasons.
lie says the questions growing out of the war
have at last disappeared from politics. at least
for the present, and while he holds the views in
respect to these which he always held. he deems
them of no special Importance. The new liv-
ing and vital questions are navy for the defense
of the seaboard great commercial marts, coasting
trade and commerce, the Improvement of rivers
by the national government, a foreign policy
and the tariff He says:
"In the last Congress the Republicans pro-
posed an appropriation sufficient to build a navy
strong enough to put the country on q defensive
equality with modern foreign vessels of war
The congressman calling themselves Democrats
defeated the measure on the plea that the Re
publican dynasty at Washington would steal q
large portion of the appropriation, etc. Such
an argument is the argument of the miser and
the Pharisee. tits not the argument either Of
the statesman, the patriot, or of common sense
If the laws are not strong enough to prevent
fraud and peeulation, let them be made strong
enough. If we cannot make the guns and
the ships, let US so change the laws that we
may have them made or buy them in foreign
countries.
"A protective tariff has made the East
wealthy and powerful at the expense
of the South and West That wealth and
power under this same tariff is about to be
transferred to the South and West more partic-
ularly to the South; and here is coming both the
Eastern and foreign capital To take the duty
from the raw material and protect the manufac-
turer is to send his capital back to blast the
great harvest of wealth and power now ripening
for wronged and much abused, but great and
generous people"
Colonel Swan quotes largely from Blaine's
chapter on the formation of West Virginia and
says: These words and sentiments from Mr.
Blaine show him to be bold fearless and just
with those large views that mark the statesman
above all technicalities, and of a just apprecia-
ton of the true honor of his country and of the
rights of the mother Commonwealth of Wash
ington. The Democratic party of to-day is not
the party of twenty five years ago, and the Re-
publican party has become the Whig party Of
old under different name.p

STARVATION IN YUCATAN.
Failure of the Crops and the Plague ofLocusts
Cause Great SUFFERING.

Failure of the Crops and the Plague of Locusts
Cause Great Suffering.
VERA Cruz Aug. 26-Adviees from various
parts Of Yucatan bring the news that the ma
tives, rendered desperate by the failure of the
crops destroyed by the locusts, and impelled by
hunger, had organized themselves into number
less bands of robbers, and were rifing the fields
of the corn, and in some instances attacking
ranches of considerable size The government
in view of the widespread destitution in this
State, has been asked to suspend the import
duty on corn, but as usual delays its action.
Locusts have appeared about San Andreas
State of Puebla, and the result is corn has risen
to the unheard of price of 81 bushel, and all
other articles of food in proportion. There is
much suffering among the poor at Tccah. Yucca
tan. An association has been formed to furnish
the people with corn, so as to aid the needy poor
prevent lmpositions, encourage labor and at the
same time do all that is possible to exterminate
the locusts The simple means has been devised
for exchanging corn for the larvae Of the locusts,
measure for measure. All over the State the
greatest suffering is experienced. Satuta has
been entirely abandoned by its inhabitants
Near Ticul three men have persisted from hun
ger, and others are killing cattle to keep them
selves alive
The State Legislature has imposed an internal
reverue tax tobacco and coffee as it is brought
into the towns

the Northern States made war
on us, invaded our native soil, desolated our
country, robbed our people, burned our homes
murdered our fathers and brothers, abused and
outraged our women, and turned children out in
the pltlless world to starve; after all this to say
that the men Of this sunny land had to be
forced to fight these ruthless invaders is, we
say, a direct insult to their patriotism and to
their manhood And the man who leagued with
these enemies of his country, was brainless or Il
traitor. If he really believed that it was patri

his own country and friends he should have

quire into his mental condition. He said he had
never suspected his wife of having illicit relation
with Drake and described his attack upon Drake
and the circumstances that led to it, He said he
went to brakes office, after learning that his
wife had been there that day, and Drake told
bin she had not been there since she had been
with him 1.-THE witnessl Entering into conver-
sation with Drake, he told him he thought of
going to Europe but would not go without his
wife. Drake would not agree to his wife going
with him, and said he would look after her. She
was too plain looking, Drake said, for anybody
else to take interest in her. Witness replied
that ladies born abroad we're very innocent, and
if they associated with improper people they
might be compromised. II then said, said the
witness, raising his voice almost toa shout, in inn

A GREAT OFF Err
The WEEKLY JOURNAL
for the Campaign at
% CENTS

In order to place the WEEKLY INDIANA
ican in the State, and thus do good campaign
service for the Republican party, we have de-
cided to send the paper till after the presiden-
tial election for % cents.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is complete family
newspaper. It is specially edited, and much
of the matter appearing in it is especially pre-
pared for the wants of the weekly readers. It
is compendium Of the NEWS OF THE WORLD
from all quarters; it has full andaccu1ate mar
ket reports; its editorials are political, social
and general it has the news Of the State
and of the city. Its literary and lniscellane-
GUS features are Of the best.
The WEEKLY JOURNAL is a newspaper that
should be in every family in Indiana, and at
the price named for it there is no reason why
it should not be, at least during the exciting
and important campaign upon which the
country has now entered. Political com-
mittees cannot do better than to see that
copies of THE WEEKLY JOURNAL are placed
in the hands Of those persons in their
counties who are not now readers of
some sound Republican paper. The
tariff question is the one issue which
is likely to be most prominently dis
cussed, and to this the journal pays especial
attention, advocating the maintenance Of the
principle of protection to American industry
in whatever revision Of the tariff laws may be
made necessary in the future developments of
business and labor. In this question the
farming community is deeply Interested, and
the discussions Of the Journal will be
largely directed to the agricultural aspects of
the question
THE. WEEKLY JOURNAL is the only paper in
Indiana that publishes regularly Ten Pages,
and this viii be continued throughout the
campaign, despite the low price. Send in
names at once, either singly or in clubs, and
thus get the full term for the money.
