The Last Radicil Plot. Wuhlngton Post, Si st. Knowing that with a Democrats Congress to hold them in check, they cannot seizs the ballot-boxes with an army of Federal bulldozers next year, they have concjotetl another plan to continue minority rule in another way. For some time past there have been in timstions that the Radicals counted on carrying Indiana in 1880. That State is as reliably Democratic as Kentucky. There lias been no election since the trar in which it ought not to have gone for the Democracy, and would have done so on a fair vote and an honeBt count. Tho Radicals held the State for many years by wholesale fraud. They used money without stint, they packed negroes from Kentuoky to the border counties, they stuffed ballot boxes whenever that course was practi cable, and they tampered with the re- lotos. It is as well known as any fact in the political history of the State, that a defeated Radical candidate for Gov ernor was counted in by fraud. But this thing could not go on forever. The Democratic party at length asserted in power in such an overwhelming vote that the Radicals gave up all further at tempts to hold on. Even Morton be came convinced that his methods of carrying elections were of no farther use, and abandoned bis State to the on cioy. Since then no intelligent man of any party lias doubted the reliability and permanency of the position of In diana in the Democratic column. Now all this is changed, and the Republicans lully expect to carry that Slate next year. They propose to do it, not by a fair vote of the people of Indiana, but by colonizing 10,000 negroes, n leat, from the Lower Mississippi. The exodus is to be pushed on a mammoth scale. Voting timber is not to be sent 10 Radical Kansas, where it is not needed, but the tide is to be tnr ,od into the Ohio valley, a few to be placed in Ohio to make it sure in any jttmingency, but tho mass to be un laded ^ on Democratic Indiana. Six i' residence will make them legal Ners under the Indiana constitution, bus it is proposed to nullify the vote ml stifle the voice of a great State by “porting the rude, ignorant, planta- | inn negroes, men who have no more at no more interest in the State ,* n ca ttle, and but little more knowl- so far as education is concerned, nr bold, unblushing rascality, this opoaed outrage on the people of a the nation has no parallel JJJ 1 the history of the Radical 'I', whose wealth of infamy furnishes for any crime against free Ll n ®ent and oivil liberty. The men [, ^ ,0 ' e . tlle - Presidency in 1876 are Mr. Herbert Spencer is charged with saying that purely intellectual culture ts not, as a general rule, a preventive of onme; and if he is of that opinion he may find some valuable statistics bear ing on his theory in Rook county, \Vis- *i no °? n8in " which be can incorporate into his next volume on Sociology. That county is one of the most fertile, best improved, most densely populated in Wisconsin, and the people are among the most intelligent, moral, and con scientious that are to be found anywhere in the West. It is the garden spot of the famous Rock River Valley, in an agricultural point of view and the peo- )le generally are worthy of their fine leritage. Schools, churches, seminaries, villages, cities, railroads, and factories dot the county irom one side to the other, and at Beloit and Milton are two excellent and well established colleges. And yet, in the very heart of all this higher type of civilization and enlight enment, three of the most atrooious and cold-blooded murders that have been re corded during the past year have taken place within the limits of Rock county. Two of these terrible crimes were pre ceded by adultery, which almost always stands next to murder in the Holy Scrip tures and in the opinion of mankind. The first case was that of Mrs. Mack and Jher paramour, Dickerson, who murdered Mr. Maok, the husband, and threw his body under the feet of the family horse. The next was the fien dish murder of little ‘ Sandy” White, an interesting child of five years, by the brute, or devil, Bumgarten, and hiB manner of doing the revolting deed was too cruel to bear recital. And last week the alleged lover of another married woman beats the brains of the husband out,* with an axe, and oremates the body afterwards in a burning haystack. No wonder that the moral, law abiding people of that section begin to clamor lor the re-establishment of the death penalty for murder.—Chicago Tribune. sin „„ *. n l ' U3 fi °homo to take the of- lchiai., eX T ll ? e ,)y ,h * 8 ®°de of disfran [.

Crime iu Wisconsin- Mr. Herbert Sc How the Indians are Paid. From an Interview with an Indian Girl.] “Wo have an annuity of about 88 or 89 apiece a year, and the agent invests it for us in what the Government thinks we need. It is our money. It was the price of our land.”. ‘‘Do you want each person to draw his share and spend as he pleases ?” “Ob, no. It is better invested ob a whole for the good of the tribe, but we want some attention paid to our wishes in the matter. Now, for example, eome years ago, when T. T. Gillingham, who was our agent, he went and had an in firmary built. It cost 86,000, and was paid for out of our money. We d’d not ueetl it. It was never occupied, till at last some white people who had no homes went into it! This isn’t the only ca3e of utter disregard that has always been shown the wishes of the Indians by men who handle their money. Now, I wanted some objects, books and other things for the school I was teaching in, so that young Indians could be taught English more readily. The agent applied "To My Dead Mistis.” Ned Murphy, colored, has given an older for a neat monument to be erect ed at the grave of his old mistress, Miss Esther Murphy, in the graveyard at Due West, and made a partial payment on the stone. The old lady died just be fore or About the beginning of the late war, and has filled a neglected and for gotten grave for many years—not that either, for during all these years her old slave, her petted sorvant Nod, remem bered her, and out of his little store has set apart enough to place a simple slab at her grave. Such instances of affec tionate remembrance are rare, and though .he is a colored man there is something in this simple service to his dead mistresa challenging the admira tion of all; and in tho crowded grave yard at Due West there will be no more eloquent testimonials to departed worth than this simple slab, “To My Dead Mistie!”—Abbeville Medium. (yticura HUMORS OF THE SCALP. LOSS OF HAIR. The Democatie victory at tho extra session of Congress on the question of Federal military and civil interference with elections, applies only to the year ending June 30th next. The fight must therefore, says the Bridgeport Farmer, be renewed at the session in December, and it must be carried on without cora- piomise until the Republicans agree to permit a free and fair Presidents! elec tion next year. The organs of the Re publican party are already endeavoring to embarrass the reintrodudtion of this subject in Congress, fearful that the un fair advantage of the use of soldiers and marshals will be taken from their party. The present renewal of the “rebel briga dier’’ talk and of the “Democratic blun der” insinuation* is the form taken by this Republican endeavor. The Demo cratic Congress should not be deterred by such means. They aro in the right, and the people are with them on this vitally important principle of non-inter ference with elections. A Mrs. Lynch, who lives on Minna street, in Sap Francisco, heard the Cry of “fire” about midnight on Thursday night two weeks ago. She told Mr. Lyncy to got up, and Mr. Lynch also heard the cry, which was loud and shrill. Both ran down stairs into tho room where they kept birds for sale (for they are "bird fanciers,’’or dealers), and then they saw that their store was on fire. A parrot was crying “fire" as hard as ho could, and all the other birds were flap ping against their cages. The firemen hurried up and soon the firo was out; but twenty poor little canaries wore drowned in the water that flew out of the hose. The parrot that cried fi.’e was Loss of lluir in thousands of attos fs duo on- tiroly to soma form of soalp disease.

The Business Boom Eastward, negroes, more or ^ ^ jjjgpggtment, and now, after six months, nothing has been heard of it. ’ Vegetation, says tho Wasington Post, grows with greatest luxuriance in grave yards and on battlefields. The finan cial polioy of the Radical party termi nating with the forcing of resumption, reduced the business of the country to a combination of battlefield and grave yard. It was a life and death struggle, iu which the few survived while the many went down. In obedience to natural laws, prosperity follows the reign ot disaster. But the men whose heartless polioy fertilized the gravt- yard are not entitled to special gloria- cation for the rich fruit which is now growing above the skeletons which they planted there. Mr. Sherman, in New York city, boasting of our present pros- perity, was in the very midst of tens of thousands who were wrecked and ruined while he was getting ready to resume, by forcing values down to a specie basis. He heard the applause of the fortunate few who grew rich amid the general disaster. He did not hear the execrations of the many who were crushed, for they do not care to adver tiso their woes. ; ptuviJent cili/.on of New York be family ‘T 1 - 1 f or a tri P vfith his lUcaui 1 ,'j ln81 de his hall door a Ifci - a f Mows: “To burglars or ilited “l ei l d,u B to burgle—All my itb*siV re ll^ a " d other valuables are ’be trn„K )c P° 811 Company’s vaults.

In almost every department of production the demand exceeds the supply. This is due to two causes—the low rate at which retailers have been running their business for some yearp, and the spirit of speculation on a rising market. The latter may be overdone, but so far business is in a healthy state. Most people are making more money and can afford to puichase more of the nedessaries and luxuries of life. There are fifty-three cotton mills in operation in North Carolina, and the consumption for the past year is esti mated at 38,484 bales, or 17,207,800 pounds. According to the figures of the National Cotton Exchange this was an increase of 10,644 bales oyer the previous year. Three large mills are now being erected, with the prospect that others will be added within the next twelve months. In his address at the Savannah cen tennial, Gen. Gordon asked, “What does not England owe to Ireland?” Well, she doaen’t appear to owe her any good will. Ask a hard one, away in the back of tho book.—Berlington Hawkeye. New York Times: Interior towns are agitated with ear-tickling tales of for tunes made in Wall street by rural spec ulators. The country bankers are in undated with orders from customers who want to “try their luck, and cau tious old farmers drag out there hoard ed savings to tempi fiokie fortune at the stock exchange. No wonder the cats and dogs” go up with the really valua ble stocks, stimula.ed by such a demand. No wonder the daily transactions in the stock exchange reach the enormous ag gregate of 550,000 shares and more, ns was the case yesterday. • W hat gow up must come down,” is an old adage.
