MORE "a B0US rEIE DEFICIT.

There caer nc no denial OF the fact
that great dissatisfaction prevails
throughout the country with the Ding
ley tariff. and the feeling does not
alone prevail among the opponents OF
the administration. Indeed. some OF
the most outspnk2n and pronounced
views comes from Republican Journals
high i'll ,hc councils Of that party.
The Philadelphia Telegraph declares
that "ihc Republican party was put in
charge OF the Government of this coun-
try mainly for the reason that The pco-
pie believed It would give them a debt
paying and Got a lcbt-incurring adj
ministration. There is a heavy deficit
staring us in the face, and we warit Mr..
D!ngley ana his compcers to tell us
what they are going to do about It.
How are they going to meet the short
age which exists now and is daily IN
crelsng? That is the question we
want answered. and Mr. Dinaley's
bright anticipatitus respecting some
period IN the dim future do no, afford
any satisfactory answer"
NO one SupposcS that Mr.. DinGlcy will
attempt to aelswer tho question OF the
TELEGRAPH first because he cannot do
So ana further because he cannot af-
ford to have the matter agtatcd.
Neither Chairman DinElcy nor his best
informed friends cen tell the outcome
OF the tariff which bears the chairman's
name. 1t is an uncertainty which Is
irouSht with more evil than anything
else ana just so long rs it continues
III force Just so long will there be de-
icits in the Nutinnal TrensurY.

WHAT q a.R,l.IE!Ip SAID.

Ina speech delivered In the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES on April 9th. 1876. the

phatically against any territorial ex-
tension on the part of the United
gates. Should NC extend our posses
sions into the tropical belt, said he,
we should weaken the power of our
people ana government. The Republ-

HISTORY OF THE GANG.
COunterfeiters and Highway Who
Had TerrOrized the County.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
OSGOOD Ind, Sept. 15.-When Lyle
Levi, one of the gang lynched to-day at
Versailles, came out of the army, where
his comrades had known him as a fearless
soldier against the rebels as we'll as a card
sharper in camp. he returned to Ripley
county and Joined his brother Isaac on the
old farm, which had been cleared off by
the elder Levi in the pioneer days of the
State. There was a large family of boys
and one girl, who afterwards became the
famous Missouri Rittenhouse, queen of
the counterfeiters and horse thieves, but is
now a devout Methodist, living at Osgood,
where she and her brother Lyle took the
pledge at joint meeting conducted by
William Murphy and Francis Guthan, now
the Nj f. pastor at Fairland. Ike Levi
had become acquainted with a counterfeit
er in the days before the war; and to his
brother he impaired the secrets. of the
craft which he had been taught. The fed
eral government in those days had not the
close supervision over this lawbreaikinc.
and the Lewis soon found their new busi-
ness profitable one. The old homestead
in a remote part of the county, furnished
them the necessary seclusion in their work
Trading up and down the Ohio river and
in counties adjacent to Ripley they dis
posed of great quantities Of spurious coin.
Federal officers appeared in Ripley county
late in the sixties. There was a brush of
some sort with the Lewis. but old residents
fail to recall the exact nature of it. How
ever the officers disappeared, and whether
they returned to their headquarters with
out accomplishing their purpose or wheth-
er they were made away with is a point
OF mystery.
In the earlier seventies the Levi boys
had gathered a formidable gang about
them, and, branching out into the morse
stealing line. raids were made into neigh
boring counties and even as far away as
Ohio and Kentucky. After a while opera
tions were carried on in the home county
and this led to a vigilante organization OF
farmers that quickly stopped the stealing
in Ripley county. Shortly after the
James Rittenhouse came out from the
East and located on forty acres near Os-
good. He courted Missouri Levi and mar
ried her. His marriage brought him in the
gang. and soon he was the leader of IL. He
had been skillful mechanic, and under
the tutelage of the Lewis he became far
more crafty in making coin than his teach
ers. He discovered method OF initiating
gold that has been a marvel TO seeret-serv-
