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

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.

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.

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

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.

The business boom, says tho Boston
Herald, continues with almost unexam
pled vigor. 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
