Hon. w. BIZ. Gardiner.

70 the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
AS n charter member of the Republican party,
desire through your excellent paper to call
upon all Republicans of Indiana to utterly dis
1egard the uncalled-for and unjust attacks made
upon Judge Gardiner by some irresponsible
Scribbler in communication over various noms de
plume made through the Democratic press and
the Seymour Republican, all of which has been
done TO vent little personal spite at Judge
Gardiner for no other reason than that his
name has been used fit person for delegate
nt-large TO the Chicago convention
will further say that his name
was not used with his knowledge or consent.
Neither is he a candidate in the sense of maxi
inc an unseemly scramble for such a position,
but he will leave 1t where it began, in the saands
Of his friends. Whoever may est the appoint
ment for delegate-at-large win get the unquali-
fed Endorsement of both Judge Gardiner and
his friends. All they esk is sheer Justice Ia the
matter. 1t has been charged IN the Demeeratic
naughty things in politics, but when these
things were done, tif done at ALL he was young
and Democrat, and in common with many
other Democrats, like Paul of old in his sins. he
was on his way to Damascus to persecuts the
Republican saints when O great light shone
around him and he fell to the ground q con-
victed Democratic sinner. and when he was con-
verted he arose mp and great Democratic scales
fell from his eyes, and he was then and there
lican party. From that day till this he hassbeen
doing good by going about and preaching the
glorious old Republican gospel to Democratic
sinners, and, therefore, he deserves well Of the
party. W. A. HoRRALL4 IA, D.

A Louisville (Ky.) special says: 1t
was reported this afternoon that body
had been foundin the river near Branden-
burgh, Ky. which was believed to be that
of james w. Tate, the deiaulting and
fugitive State Treasurer.
No word Of undoubted authenticity has
ever been received from Tate even by his
family. The nearest approach to it was
q paper from Montreal directed to Miss
Tate, in what she, with others, believed
to he Tates writing disguised. Previous
" his friends had begun to think that he
had committed suicide. Now that near
ly two weeks more have passed since this
paper came and no other word has been
received, the family and their friends
believe that he is dead. 1t has been
stated that he took no money with him,
and the counter statement that he had a
valise we'll filled with bank bills has been
published, but no one has been found
positively to assert that Tate had large
sum when he left Frankfort, though he
did have a few hours before. With his
continued silence the theory of suicide is
gaining ground. Accordingly, when an
unknown man was found dead in the
river near Brandenburgh Saturday night
and buried without careful examination,
n theory sprang up that it was Iate's
body. The only facts known are that the
man had broken jaw and had a railroad
ticket for Canada, bought in some inte-
riortown. An examination will be made.

Congress-The Tariff.

Congress has now been in session -four
months. and yet on Monday last when
the MIlLs tariff bill was reported the
consideration OF the same was postponed
for two weeks, in order, so it was said, that
the appropriation bills might be first con-
sidered.
The House of Representatives seems
to be bound in chains which cannot be
broken nor otherwise removed. A tariff
bill ought to have been reported long ago.
IL its provisions had been acceptable il
would have been passed before now.
II not acceptable those provisions might
have been superseded by others. We
cannot appreciate the wisdom OF the
policy which allows committee to con-
slider blu for four months, and thus
limits unnecessarily the time which the
House Of Representatives itself can de-
vote to it. II the object of the delay
had been to frame q bill acceptable
70 Protectionists as well as anti-Protec-
tionisis and thus 10 secure its passage
by Congress the delay would have been
excusable. But the minority charge that
the bill reported on Monday by Mr..
MILLs was not framed by the committee,
but by the majority. All bills must
necessarily be framed by q majority of
. committee, but the rule has been TO
have all the committeeman present Wills!
the bill was under consideration, and
thus 10 afford all the members Of the
