INDIANA POLITICS.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 3O.-This has been
another day of quiet but earnest work
about political headquarters. The full
membership of the Republican state COM
mittee was in the city today and held a
long and secret session. There is no ap-
parent relaxation of a determined effort
on the part of either state committee.
Both chairmen continue bland. smiling

sure you of ii certain majority Of ten or
fifteen thousand.
General Harrison keeps pretty closely at

correspondence. The generals mail shows

in fact it has now grown to such proper

attention OF the general and his law part

prohibition vote of the state, and the mug
wump vote of the state has almost entirely
disappeared. As the situation stands to
day the state is ours. 1t can only be
stolen from US by prodigious expenditure
OF money and debauchery of the ballot.
This, we have reason to believe, will be at
tempted, but we shall have men on guard

General Sewell in au interview, prophe-
sizes Republican success in New York. New
Jersey and Indiana. He says the Prohibi-
ton vote in New Jersey will not exceed
5000. There will be like detection IN the

lieves that outside the large cities the vote

| the treaty of naturalization concluded by
| the two countries on the 18th of May, 1870.
| Therefore, il will not be commended nor
! was such contention ever admitted by us,
that citizens of the United States of British
origin are subject to any claim of the
country of their original allegiance. The
undersigned also has the honor to call the
attention to the provisions of section 1888 OF
the revised statutes of the United States,
| by which severe penalties ara visited upon
the citizen of the United States who, with
out the authority or the permission of the
government commences or carries On any
verbal or written correspondence or inter

ment or any officer or agent thereof; either
with An intent to influence the action of
such government or its agents in relation
to any disputes or controversies with the
United States, or with an intent to defeat
the measures of the government of the
United States. These penalties are made
equally applicable TO every citizen of the
United States not duly authorized who
'counSels advises or assists in any such
correspondence with similar unlawful IN
tent. The undersigned respectfully advises
that the attention of the attorney general
of the United States be directed TO these
enactments in order that an investigation
may be made with a view to ascertaining
whether they have not been violated in the
present case By the correspondent OF the
British minister
BY your direction the attention of the
British government has, in a spirit Of
comfy, been called to the conduct of their
minister us above described, but without
result. 1t, therefore, becomes necessary
for this government to consider whether,
as the guardian Of its own self respect and
the integrity OF its institutions, il will
permit further intercourse to be held
through the present British minister at
this capital. 1t is to be observed that
precedents are not wanting as
to the. question under consideration.
It is a settled rule, essential to the mainten-
ance OF international intercourse, that
diplomatic representative must be persona
grata to the government to which he is ac-
credited. In the present case all the re-
quirementS of comfy have been fulfilled,
the facts having been duly communicated
to her majesty's government with an ex-
preston OF opinion OF this government in
regard thereto. Respectfully submitted,
