NO FREIGHT RECEIVED. The attentian of merchants is culled to the fact that the Dlinols Central, Chicago & Alton, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, and other Western and Soutnern roads will not receive freight Tuesday. This is a wise provision, and will unquesdionably commend itself_to the mer- chants themselves. They and their employés will be buey about other mutters, and the rail- rouds Will have 80 muck to do with special trains that they will be giaud to be relieved of the bother of freight.

EAST-BOUND FREIGHTS. _ The ronds east from this city feel quite sur- prised because freight shipments over thelr Hues do vot improve. The new crop has been coming forward for some weeks, but most of it either takes the lakes from this point, or yous by the cross-IInes frum Peoria, Hunnibal, Quin-, ey, Indianapolis, etc. The-munagers of the roads’ from bere buye been predicting an increase In business from week to week, but it will not come. The statement of tho pust week, instead of showing an increase, shows the reverse. The shipments for tho week ending Aug. 7 were 3,- US tons; for the week ending Aug. 1¢ they are only 83,285 tons. This result gocs fur to prove the correotness of the assertion heretofore made in fax Tamone that the roads cust from this city willcontinue to labor under serious disadvantages as long as they are provented from competing against the lakes during the navigation season, Aslong as the lake ratcs are so much lower than the ral rates as to mako itan object tur shippers to ship that way, tbe ruilroads will only get such business as has to make quick time. Eaat-bound rates from this olty are eald to bo considerably demoralized, aud charges of viola- tion of the tariff are freely mude. The Grand ‘Trunk has been doing 2n unusually heavy busi- nese during the lust four week, much largor in proportion thin the other lines, and this Tact. is cited that the road must have cut the rates. The olilciala, howover, deny tho soft impeachment, and oluiin that bad faith towards them ia shown by tho other roads constantly, ‘bat, for instance, it was agrued that from June | until the arbitrators tixed the ercentages their road sboula buve olghty car- joads of cuttlo per week, yet up to the present time they had hardly recoived anything. The award of percentages for the Chfoago enstern rouds was to have been promulgated by the trunk-line arbitratora a few days ago, butup tothe present nothing bas been beard reyurding the mattor. hg decision is anxiously looked fur, as it will be impossible to rogulato enst-bound business from this city as long as the rods are in the dark us tothe basis on which they huve to work. . ‘The following statement shows the amount of four and provisions carried by the various Eastern rouds from this city during the woek ending Aug. 14: Prov’s, j Grain, Flour,|tons of fons. of Total Bris. |2000Ub.}20001b.| tons.

Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Granp Rarivs, Mich. Aug. 14.—Isaac Waynes, Sheriff of this county for four years, until 1877, an old resident, and at one time one of our most prominent men in the county politically, died to-day, after an ill- ness of two or three day HOSPITAL INVESTIGATION. Some Very Loose Management. ‘Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Mapison, Wis., Aug. 14—The Hospital Investigating Committee to-day had before them aguin ‘Trustee Davis, of Beloit, who, in the matter of the artiticial pond,or reser- voir at the Asylum, said emphatically the Trustees had never elven Dr Boughton authority to build it Dr. Boughton reiterated they had, when Senator Davis produced an attidavit from Treasurer Proudfit, of the Board of ‘Trustees, in which that gentleman swears he never did. Dr. Boughton was then placed on the stand. One item of $25 it appeared had been paid to Undertaker Fitch by the friends of a patient and charged against tho Stato by Steward Gardner, the Doctor admitting that Gardner must have been. paid that amount. It was also shown that an amount figuring up to $2,606.40, money sent to the hospital for luxuries for _ patients by their friends, was unaccounted tor. Nine hundred and twenty-two dollars of the amount had been returned by the Doctor and Steward McDill, In explanation of this Dr. Boughton said he never kept a personal acequnt, He hed spent a large sum, possibly bra for furniture, pictures, 1 and books. expenses were large. He always signed the pay-roll but did not always ‘draw_ his — salary, and in this way his accounts became mixed. He acknowledged he was accountable for the money short, At this time (1876) his sulary was $2,000. Afterwards it was in- creased to $23,500. ‘Lhe octor ‘ex- jained an item of Sis for fireworks by saying it had always been cus- tomary to celebrate to a certain extent. Various small accounts were taken up and explained. He explained. that his traveling expenses were always lumped on his return, Hie gave the Stute tho benefit of his railroad pass, and never charged fare unless he actually paid it out He explained it was impossible for nim to exam- ine carefully every little item presented to him for audit, Like all State officers he was obliged to rely on the discretion of his as- sistants and clerks. He had borrowed money from employés of the institution, perhaps in all $1,900, but had returned it at the sugges- tion of the Board of ‘Trustees. << THE BICYCLE.

Special Disvatch to The Chicago ‘Tribune. InpiaNnapouis, Ind., Aug. 14.—The formal opening of the Democratic campaign here to-night, despite of all the fuss, did not fill the Wigwam. At8o’clock the room did not hold wore than a thousand people. Two or three ward clubs filed into the room, adding to the size of the audience, and, after waiting until twenty minutes passed, an organiza- tion was effected with the Wigwam not three-fourths filled, and with nobody about the doors. The Hon. W. D. English, as Chairman of the State Central Committee, called the meeting to order, and a list of olli- cers was read by the Chairman of the County Committee, with Adolph Revden- sticken, editor of the German ‘Tele yraph, as President. He did no more than to-introduce the speakers. The Hon. Joseph Pulitzer nade the. first address, fol- lowed by Mr. Doolittle, and he by Emil Rother of Cincinnati, in a German speech. ‘There was No ENTHUSIASM in the meeting. It was remarkably dead, and proves beyond question that whatever “boom” there had ever been for [ancoek and English in this community has com- pletely died out. Mfr. English did not evoke anything other than a respectful amount-of cheers, Mr. Pulitzer’s impassioned manner and ‘most pointed periods were only faintly applauded, the most hearty being given when he sald it was a le that the Confederate Brigadiers were a3 dangerous as ever, and that “niggers”? were yet held {nu prac- tieal slavery.

DOOLITTLE’S SPEECH. To ths Weatern Associated Press. InpraNavo.is, Ind., Aug. 14.—The Demo- eratic Central Committee opened the cam- aign to-dzy. Over 200 speakers will de- liver addresses in the various cities and towns of the State. The following are among the prominent speakers: Senators McDonald, of Indiana, and Jones, of Florida, at Evansville; the Hon. Charles W. Ander- son, of Ohio, at Richmond; Senator Voor- hees at Brazil; Gov. Hendricks, of Indiana, and Gov. Brockenger, of Missouri, at Fort Wayne; the Hon. D.S. Gooding at Logans- port. In this city the meeting was held to-night at the Wigwam, and was addressed by the Hon. James Pulitzer, of St. Lonis; the Hon. J. R. Doolittle, of Wisconsin; and’ the Hon. Emil Rothe, of Cincinnati. Mr. Doolittle upon being introduced said: “¥or three cheers froin so many hearts and voices like the voice of many waters I thank you from my heart of hearts, not for myself alone, but in the name of our standard- bearers, Haneock and English, whom we have nominated and whom we have decided to elect, and when elected inungurate Presi- dent and Vice-President of the United States. Not being a-resident of your State, it would not become me to discuss State candidates. I shall therefore speak upon Na- Boneh issues and of National candidates only. 2 7 ee Amore other things Mr. Doolittle said: “Tf the Republic is true to itself and true to the ideas of its founders, before the end of the second century it will be the greatest Nation that ever appeared on the face of the earth; but great as it is it must forever rest upon the great funda- Mental ideas, In these it lives, moves, and has its being. These ideas are, firs! National sovereignty. limited to Nationa! affairs only; second, State sovereignty, re- served in State affairs only; third, a free, intelligent ballot and an honest count. Upon these three fundamental ‘ideas, upon these supreme conditions, our great constitutional republican system depends, and must forever depend. Upon these as upon three support- ing columns, the whole gigantic structure rests. If either is broken down or under mined, the whole edifice must fall.” Air, Doolittle jNustrated and enforced these ideas and fundamental articles. He said: “Blot out the ideafof National sovereignty in the Republic in National affairs and the Union under the Constitution would be a mere rope of sand, Blot out the idea of State sovereignty in State affairs, and whatever be the form, or whatever be the name of that great central government which shall attempt to exercise sovereiznty in domestic and State affairs, as well as in National affairs, will become ‘ A CENTRALIZED UNWIELDY DESPOTISA, It would be like a maelstrom, swallow up the rights of tne States and all liberties of the citizen; drive freedom and intelligence away from the polls,’ and hireling officials and the bayonet surround the ballot-boxes, with troops and partisan deputy-marshais to in- timidate or obstruct the electors ; stutf bailot- § With talse or purchased votes, or by and fraudulent and perjured returning boards count out the votes actually cast, count in the yotes never cast, in the way in which all the world knows the party in pow- erdid in order to place in the President’s chair a man who was defeated at the polls by a majority of hundreds of thousands, and Test assured, my countrymen, a republican Government would. become a sham and @ mockery. Our system would end first in civil war, then,in anareby, and last in mil- itary despotism.”” ‘ _alr. Dovlittle dwelt on this Idea at con- siderable length, and said‘the great distinc- tion between the Democratic party and_ its Ieaders and the Republican party of to-day. under its stalwarts and radical leaders, 1s | this; The Democracy comprehends mxintains the sovereignty of Stat served by the éonstieaney, over their own domestic and local aifairs, while the radicals and stalwarts seem to be the victims of the fia Iden only of the So¥erelenty of the Na- vithout limi sovereignty Nation i alae, that sovereignty to t, Doolittle said: “Our true theory i this: All American citizens are citi zens of the United States, owing al- legiance to the United States as a sovereign, and at the same time they are citizens of the State where they live, owing allegiance to that State also. “Every American, native or naturalized, owes allegiance to each and to both at the same time, and he is protected by the laws of each within their respective spheres, To borrow the language of the Su- preme Court of the United States: The powers of the General Government and of the State, although they exist and are exercised within the same territorial limits, are yet separate and independent of each other within their respective spheres, as if the line of division traced by Jandmarks and monuments were visible to the eye. Yes, my fellow-vitizens, though it seems almost impossible to make our Republican fellow-citizens_ comprehend it, yet this mast essential thing in our system is just what I have stated, and what the Su- preme Court declared it is: Its perfection, its glory—namely: that every American has this double citizenship, this double al- legiance, and this double protection, both Nutional and State. In all life’s journey, from the cradle to the grave, the sovereignty ge the neon and ine sovereienty ot the state, ¢ two guardian-an, upon the right and upon the left, ee * WALK CLOSE BY OUR SIDE, © and in nine times out of ten we appeal to the State for protection. By the exceptional cases, the protection of the National Govern- mentis equally important, and necessary, and vital to our well-being.” hi He continued at length saying this was n subject on which the Republic- an leaders constantly misrepresent tho views of the Democratic party, and falsely assert that because we maintain under the Constitution the reserved right of States, they falsely charge that we assert the suprem- acy of the States over the Federal and deny the sovereignty of the United States in Na- tional affairs; but I hope I have been able to show you how solid are the foundations of the Democratic creed. Mr. Doolittle then referred to the HISTORY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY since the War, and charged against that party the trampling down of the Constitution in time of profound. peace, wherever its leaders believed that the Constitution stood in the way of their party ascendency. He yeferred, among other things, to the itary Reconstruction bill of 1867, upon the passage of which Thad Stevens, ‘then the leader of the House, frankly admitted they were act- ing outside of the Constitution, and as frank- ly avowed that the object was to maintain the ascendency of their party, Mr, Gartield was an apt scholar. In advocating the same measure Feb. 12, 1867,"he’said: ‘It is se- vere, it is written with a steel pen made with a bayonet.” ,, Mr, Doolittle maintained that the bill in itself and these declarations of Stevens and Garfield were nothing less thao a declara- tion of war against ten States of the Union nearly two years after the Civil War was over and peace declared. ‘That witha steel pen made with a bayynetin time of profound peace they wrote across the names of ten States of this Union, “Expelled by act of Congress,” and erased from the Constitution the sacred words, “The right of trial by jury,” the habeas corpus, all civil Jaw for all that region of the country trom the Potomac to the Rio Grande, and for more than 10,000,000 of people. He con- trasted this language with that of Gen. Hancock assuming command of Texas and Louisiana. He knew what the War was for. He knew when it was over. He knew that in time of peace no steel pen made from a bayonet could erase from the Constitution the sacred words, “he right of trial by jury,” or the habeas corpus,—the richest in- eritance of the Anglo-Saxon race. SENATOR M’DONALD AT EVANSVILLE, EVAnsvi.we, Ind., Aug. 14.—-The Demo- cratic campaign was for opened here to-night, with speeches by Senator MeDon- ald, Senator Jones, of Florida, and_Con- gressman Townshend, of Illinois. Evans Hall, the largest public’ hall in the State, was filled. ‘The main speech of the evening was by Senator MeDonald, who began speaking at 10 o’clock und ended at 11:30, the opening speeches be- ing by Senator Jones and Congressmair ‘fownshend. Senator McDonald reviewed the records of the two. parties. He said thet at the close of the War the Xtepublican — party was the dominant party, controlling every Northern State. In 1876 things had so much changed that they came in With their President by the slender- est majority possible, and that obtained through fraud. Now the party seeks to per- petuate its control by claiming credit for the improved condition of financial aifairs. What act, said he, did the Republicans do that they should claim this honor? In 1875 the currency was contracted $60,000,000, Did that bring about the ithproved condition of affairs? ‘The Democratic party stopped this contraction of currency, and this, and not any act of the Republican party, brought back prosperous times. This work, he said, was assisted’by the energies and economy of the people at the time of the severest de- pression. We tound that we were buying more from foreign countries than we were selling, and the balance for the years between $60 and 1868 was about $20,000,000, A nation is like an individual in mutters of econom The man who is careful to live within-h means and at the same time lay bya little more for rainy weather is sure to come out all right in the end. It was so with the United States. In 1876 the tide turned in our favor. Since then we have maintained our advantage, and last year the balance was largely in our favor. It was as- serted that the remonetization of silver would drive gold out of. the country, In- stead of that, . $150,000,000 of — goid has been added. The Republicans refer to this as John Sherman’s triumph, and that, the Republican party, through him, is entitled to our thanks. But the facts are the people are indebted to their energies and such legis- lation as the Democrats were able to give them. Hecharged the Republican party with seeking to create discord between the sec- tions. They aze preaching the doctrine of hate. While crying out against « Solid South, they are bending all thelr energies to secure a Solid, North. If the Southorn peuple are wrong in uniting politi ally, what excuse have the Republic- of’ the North for seeking to do the same thing? The South is simply solid against the Republican party, because it regards that party as unfit.longer torule. With that spirit we Democrats of the North agree. We are all solid against the Republican party, and expect to continue to be so during the rest_of our days, Ie re- ferred to the levies by Republicans in power upon employés of the Government for corrupt campaign services, charging that the Jevies made were outrageous and a great hardship upon those compelled to submit. ‘The money was being used in close and doubt- ful distriets, and corruptly, but the Repub- lican party is versed in corrupt, prac- tices. ‘he whole system of Election Supervisors and Returning Boards, so fairon jis face, was an outrageous use of power for partisan purposes, and it is in consequence of. this that the party has remained so in, power.

Garfield’s chief re- sponsibility in_ this great wrong was in sit- ting in the Electoral Commission and con- doning the fraud, and he did it so willingly that the party nominated him at Chicago in recognition of this. service, Comparing Garfield and Hancock, he said the latter was a statesman as well asa sol- dier, and commanded his admiration. Han- cock, he said, went to Louisiana when all qwas doubt, confusion, and disorder, and gave é people peace. bs pet in warm ‘terms to the states- manship displayed in Order No, 40. ‘The Senator referred at length to the sub- ject of the importation of colored voters to Jndiaua and other border States for the pur- pose of cheating the will of the people, but the cleaner elements" of the population would not tolerate such an_ outrage, and the .Republican managers | would discover their mistake when that indignation was ableto express itself atthe polls. He was glad Indiana was an October State, and expected the Democrats to win then with left. the State ticket and increase the majority in November... Senators McDonald and Jones also spoke to a large audience at Mt. Vernon to-day. DEMOCRATIC MEETING AT FORT WAMXE. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Forr Wayne, ind, Aug. 14.—The Demo- erats had their opening meeting of :the cam- paign to-night. Speeches were delivered by ex-Goy, Hendricks, Congressman Colerick, State Senator Bell, ‘Lieut.-Gov. Brockemeyer, of Missouri, and others. The meeting was held at the Academy of Music, which was comfortably filled. Previous to the meeting a torchlizht procession paraded the princi- pal streets, but it was slim in numbers. Gov. lendricks’ speech fell far short of what sy and little enthusiasm was manifested. ie Republicans are preparing for a big meeting Monday night, to be ad- cece y Judge Taylor, candidate for Con- Was expecte SHELBYVILLE. Special Dispatch to ‘The Chicago Tribune, SHELBYVILLE, Ind, Aug. 14—The De- mocracy attempted a rally ona grand scale here to-day, but it was.a signal failure. Usually the crowds that- attend political meetings here are estimated at not less than 5,000 people, but the crowd today did not number more than 2,000, Speeches were made by Gen, Panehott, of Illinois, andJason B. Brown, of Indiana. ‘The speeches, like the crowd, were very elim, evoked no enthusiasio. ‘The Democracy in the locality are badly disorganized, and can only call a crowd to- gether by the most persistent efforts. In this county alone they will lese 200 yotes. This afternoon the Republicans held their County Convention, nominating a full ticket. They confidently expect to elect their candi- dates for ‘Treasurer and Sheriff. EAST TENNESSER, A SPLENDID OUTLOOK. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribuns, Wasutncton, D. C., Aug. 14—Informa- tion reached here to-day from the Severs Congressional District of East Tennessee, with details of the late election in that section. In the election for county officers the Repub- licans carried the three districts by round majorities, aggregating from 7,000 to 10,000, The . First District, which elected Upton, the present Democratic mém- ber, by 700 majority, gave last week a Re- publican majority of between 1,500 and 1,800, The Secoud District increased its Republican majority of 3,000 to between 5,000 and 6,000. ‘The Third District gave a2 good Republican niajority. ‘The results are such as are held to e two members of the next House cer- tain for the Republicans from ‘Tennessee, and the chances for a third are very good. The Democrats carried the City of Knoxville by a small majority, with some assistance by eculiar methods, but the county over- alanced the city and gave the whole to the Republicans by a small inajority. HENDRICKS, THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH A'r MARION—HIS IGNORING OF ENGLISH, AND DEFENSE OF THE DECISION ANNULLING THE CONSTITU- TIONAL AMENDMENTS. Specicl Dispatch to Ths Chicago Tribune, InpraNApouis, Aug. 14.—In political cir- cles, the speech of Gov. Hendricks, delivered on Thursday at Marion, is the principal theme of conversation. Democrats are no- ticeably disappointed, while Revublicans are amazed at its weakness and at the manifest soreness of its author. Mr. English is dis- missed with five lines. The attempt to say nothing of him, and yet be courteous, is made the more conspicuous by the flatter- ing manner In which Mr. Hendricks speaks of Gen, Hancock,—styling him a warrior of great distinction, whose election will complete a persunal record of the great- est and rarest interest, and upon whose shield will then be inscribed, “Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war.’’ After such a glowing tribute, to dismiss Mr. English with three sentences indicates bet- ter than words can express the dislike of the ex-Governor for the Vice-Presidential candi- date. Mr. Hendricks’ feelings toward Mr. English have been the theme of much writing since the conclusion of the. Cincinnati Convention. In this city, and among his triends, Mr. English has not been careful to conceal them, And, whathe has not said, Mrs. Hendri has taken occasion to say for him. But, despite all this, uo one was ready to believe the ex-Governor would allow his prejudices to be exhibited so plainly in the first and opening speech of the campaign. It shows the bitterness existing, and the terrible disappointment of being so thor- oughly ignored. : ‘Mr. Hendricks’ defense of the Supreme Court’s decision annulling the constitutional amendments is a part of the prear- ranged program. Within an hour after the dectsion of the Court was made public, Mr. Hendricks announced his ability to defend its action on the stump. But, in attempting to do so, he displayed an ignor- ance, or a disposition to hide the truth, which. must subject him to the same criti- cism received by the Court. It is their argu- ment in a nutshell, without the strength of fortifying authorities... . Mr. Hendricks’ words, however, have been taken by many as an authoritative denial of the report that the Court would reverse itsdecision. A gen- tleman.in the confidence of several Hen- dricks managers intimated this morning that it was their wish to carry the State in Octo- ber, and let it. go by defaultin November. In other words, they desired the election of the State ticket, but did not care to elect an Ad- ministration which has pledged Mr. Tilden to ignore the Hendricks faction. Hence it was argued that the decision would be forti- fied if a new hearing was granted, rather than reversed, HARRISON. THE SPEECH THE GENERAL JS TO MAKE AT TERRE MAUTE NEXT FRIDAY. Bpeciai Disputch to The Cistcago Tribune, Inpraxapouis, Aug. 14.—Gen. Ben Harri- gon makes his first speech in the campaign next Friday evening, at Terre Haute, and it will fully sustain his reputation as one of the ablest and most useful speakers in the coun- try. He is not. given to Fourth-of-July ora- tory, nor has he the gift or the inclination to stand before an audience and simply glorify the Republican party. Such speeches are needed, and there are men in the land who can inake them to perfection, entertaining their audiences, and stimulating young men to join a party about which clusters so much that is grand and noble. But, when Gen. Harrison speaks, somebody is heard to fall. He takes the stump for this purpose; and Democrats are beginning to have some- thing of that dread of his criticism and searching analysis of their blunders which was so noticeable when Goy. Morton brought his guns to bear upon them. He has a rg way of getting their misdeeds be- fore the country that is not calculated to win them respect; and in his forthcoming. ‘speech he will be severer than usual. Itis his pur- pose to pay particular attention to, the frauds and other illegal methods of the Democratic party, reviewing their winter’s work in Maine and theirsummer’s work in Alabama, te will take up, too, the recent decision of the In- diana Supreme Court overthrowing the con- stitutional amendments, giving Mr. Hen- dricks the benefit of all ,he has said on both sides of the question. Mr, English, posing asthe Poor Afan’s Friend,” will come ‘in for his share of glory; while Senator Voor- hees will not escape the gentle reminder that he has been condemning such men as En- glish for the past ten years. Whether the General’s speech wil! be written out before its delivery, will depend. somewhat upon other demands made upon his time; buta shorthand reporter will be present when he speaks, and his words will form a campaign- cocument. ——— HEADQUARTERS.

Bradley Smalley and Col.

OVERTURES FoR A FUSION TICKET. ‘Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Omana, Neb. Aug. 14.—The Nebraska Democrats and Greenbackers are reported to be arranging a fusion plan whereby they hope to beat the Republicans. It is proposed to make up an Electoral ticket of four Dem- ocrats and three Greenbackers, and to let the Greenbackers have the Governor and Audi- tor, and the Democrats to take the balance of the State ticket, The Legislative ticket is also to be divided between ther in the same way. This plan is liable to meet with con- siderable opposition from various leading Democrats, and may therefore fall througl. There are not enough Greenbackers in Ne- braska to change the result. The Republican majority runs from 15,000 to 20,000, and will probably be greater this fall than ever be- NOTES. TO TAKE THE STUMP. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, .
