The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1886-02-24

sAgANEAH, Ca, Feb. 19.-The dead bodies
of two unknown persons were found tied to
the foot of a sapling in the woods, six miles
from this city, this morning. They had been
gagged, their mouths having been rammed
full of clay and leaves; their arms and legs
were tied together, and fastened to the sap
ling by cope around their necks. There
were no marks of violence on the bodies.
They are thought to be brothers. John Gra-
ham, crazy negro, living near the spot, is
the supposed murderer. He was captured
this evening, and neither denies nor admits
his guilt.

Charles a. Dana's Opinion of General sher-
man.

New YORK, Feb. 19.-The Tribune will
tomorrow publish an interview with Ghas.
A. Dana, editor OF the Sun, in regard to the
statements made by General Sherman in an
interview at Pittsburg last night. The fol-
lowing is the essential part of the talk:
1T is hardly worth while" said Mr. Dana,
ITO take any notice of what General Sher-
man said. There is no logic and no coher-
ence in his rmarks. The fact that he made
a compact with General Johnston, under
taking to settle the political questions in
Volved in the civil war, and that the Govern
ment repudiated the compact is too no
torious to be discussed. One of the public
reasons for repudiating this COM
pact given by the executive
al the time was that it would
re-establish slavery, and it is very interesting
to find that this view of the case, taken in
Washington by President Johnson and Mr..
Stanton, and by General Grant as we'll, was
also taken by the Confederate Cabinet at
Charlotte. Whether General Sherman him
self favored slavery or not, is nothing to the
point.
General Sherman's personal abuse OF me is
equally foreign to the subject. He says:
He (Dana) followed our army as spy. 1t
was generally understood that he was spy
This is too absurd. / was with the army
as the representative of the President, sent
there by him, and it was known thai re-
ported to him, through the Secretary of War,
every day. j was Assistant Secretary of War
myself, and there was not General in the
army, either the Army OF the Tennes-
who did not perfesfly well understand the
position and the duties 1t imposed. From
the beginning TO the end l was on the best
terms with them all, including Sherman,
and in all my reports OF military operations
do not think there is single instance in
which had reason to speak of him with
anything but praise. But fortunately was
not present at this convention with General
Johnston, IN 7he case of General Grant
especially my relations were always OF the
most cordial and friendly character, and
when ne went down to Chattanooga TO take
charge of the operations there, he made a
special request that ] should go with him.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 22-The parade to-day, in
celebration of the anniversary of Washing
tons birthday, was a fitting celebration of
the historic event which it was intended to
commemorate. The militia were unaole to

reception of the invitation to join the parade.
The police and fire departments, however,
turned out in full force, and after forming
in line at IL o'clock, marched through the
principal parts of the city. All the streets
along which the procession passed were

roaring day n the House. Similar, Judge,
N many ways 20 the historic scenes enacted
upon the HOo- at the time when rebellion
was threatened ard the public pulse beat
fast and hard. To-day's scene was upon a
question made history by war. 1t carried
the recoIec-ions back 70 the dark days of
The great revolution, when the tread OF the
soldiers and the booming OF cannon was
about al that was heard. To-day ended the
discussion Of the celebrated Fitz John Por-
ter case, which mas grown familiar 70 every
school bog within the past FIVE years. 1t was
history repeating itself again. After the
morning hour had closed the discussion was
resumed by William Walter Phelps. OF New
Jersey. who spoke ably in support Of the
measure.
He did not, however, assume all the time
allotted 20 him, bat instead gave the balance
Of his tine 20 the venerable and distinguish
ed War-Governor OF Pennsylvania, Mr. Cur
tn. When Mr.. curtin arose to speak all
eyes were upon him, and in the great hall ST.
Ienoe and Quietude reigned supreme. 1t
was time when the Governor felt called
upon 10 place himself in the front rank OF
Len, who was resting under strain which,
IN iustlct 20 him, would be removed. He
was fred with that old-time enthusiasm
that made bis name illustrious during the
days when il tried mems souls. He refer

If Porter was a traitor" said Mr..
GOrtin, 50 was Henry Wilson, of Massachu-
SETS Horace Greedy, of New York, and
myself who reviewed the Porter case after the
trial, and We then bore testimony to his
loyalty as a citizen and bravery as a soldier.
Wilson and G-eely are dead, but if any man
wants 20 cal me traitor, invite him to

The old man was angered and lie meant
what be said. His speech was an able one,
and eEnbellisbed with the beauty Of oratory

the Republican side of the House who fell

Of Indiana, who. before the day had closed,
had made himself the laughing stock of the

ling, when compared to the cunning
OF the fox, and the poison Of the ser
pent. The lien law is the serpent, and
the percentage law is the fox. They
are both governed by the zule ofpriv-
ilege. No man who indames the peo-
pie OF South Carolina against each
other whether Intentionally or unin-
tentionally done) can ever get my vote.
1t is well known to you, my friends,
that once scorned to ride a hobby
mule. The people did not send me to
the legislature for the good and sufi-
cient reason, that they had wiser and
better men at their command. TWAS
not because I refused to ride that hob
by animal. There should be too ten
der spot in every South Carolinian's
heart, for any of US to think of ever
lifting our hands against our own ma
tive brothers. Public inflammation has
ever been the curse Of nations. 0 let
us beware in time! We should be
true to our State and Country, Ito use
the language of Virginia's great and
eloquent Henry despite of an erring
world" I believe in no Legislative or
Moot-court conventions. We already
have Legislature. Let conventions
be conventions, and not presume to
dictate law to the legislature of South
Carolina. The people can quietly give
to our legislature any shape they may
wish, without the assistance of confus-
ions angry blast. Public journals and
individuals may with propriety sug-
gest. That looks like harmless petit
tons; but moot court conventions
which presume to demand, can mean
nothing but public discord. The
farmers are too well represented in
the legislature, for even the shadow Of
an excuse, for any complaints beyond
what we get from individuals and
public journals. Three cheers for
the Laurens Ledger and all other
journals OF the same spirit and senti-
ment. I told you when I came into
this County, that I preferred your
confidence to your patronage; and
what I said to you then, I will say to-
day, to you and to South Carolina. I

AGRICULTURAL MEET
ING.

The attendance at the meeting OF
the Agricultural Society on last Mon
day was larger than usual. The socie-
ty was addressed by Mr.. J. E. Tin
dial, on the subject of cotton seed meal
as a fertilizer. Mr.. TindalPs remarks
were interesting and highly instruct
i've. We have his promise that he
will give US a summary Of what he
said for publication. Mr.. Jos, Sprott
followed with a plain practical talk on
corn raising, etc. He said, among
other things, that his rule was never
to take anything green off the land,
but that his fodder was allowed to dry
up on the stalk. That the corn made
better by it, and there was less waste
BY the grain falling from the cob.
MI. Z. H. Deschamps being called
upon, responded eloquently. He en-
dorsed what had been said by Mr..
Sprott, and then addressed the farm
ers on the benefits of economy. Earn
estIy did he endeavor to impress up
on his hearers the great evil Of extrav-
igance and the importance Of practse-
ing a system of economy. The speak
er referred to his essay before the
Sumter Agricultural Society, and the
structures put upon it by correspond
ent in the TINES. He said he had
stated the truth and would again re-
pest whst had been said, which he did
with emphasis Mr.. Deschamps was
listened 10 with marked attention, be-
ing heartily applauded when he I'm
ished.
The following gentlemen were elect
