THE CONLEST IN INDIANA. ‘Tho contest now raging:in Indiana prom- ises to be the most earnest political struggle that has ever taken pluce in any State of this country at any election, Tarties haya been closely divided for many years, the advan tage being with the Democrats, whose ma- jorittes have ranged from five to nine thousand at almost every election since the War. Mr Hendricks has been for many years before the people asa candidate, and 9 pers sonal following has enabled hint. to give to his party a poptler strength whieh tt othor- wise would not have lind. At this tine Mr Hendricks is not a candidate. Indeed, he has been thrust out of atl candidacy asa puntsh- nent for his refusal to accept Tilden ns 0 master. ‘Tho nomination of English ts now known to huve been the result of an antl-Hendricks intrigue. English sought tho nomination for the Presidency by playing a double part between ‘Litden and Mendricks. Knowing that he contd not secure the Indiana delegn- tlon for himself as against Hendricks, his efterts were directed, us it Is now well known, to assure the country that Indiana had another man, the equal of Hendrieks in all personal matters, but his superior tn tho important matter of having a barrel, which. would be freely employed If he were none inated. ‘Tho New York war upon Hendricks was encournged and promoted, a8 all Re- publicans know, by Ladin Democrats, who resented the preéminence he had enjoyed before tho country, and tho special confl- dence shown fim by the people of Indiana, ‘Tilden, who was malicious and revengeful, willingly accepted these Democratic services from Indian in breaking down Jlendricks, and was resolved that {f he went down him- self he would carry the great Inalantan with MD hopes of sharing in the English barrel were kept alive by untlring efforts, and, had not Hancock’s nomination been precipitated upon the Convention, English would haye been presented to tho Convention as a candl- date in direct opposition to Hendricks, Io was willlng to bo the instrument of ‘Tldon’s inalicious revengo to crush Henilricks, The strength of thls antl-Hendrivks combl- nation was shown Jn the prompt, nom- inatlon of English for tha second place tho moment Hancock’s nomination was n¢- complished. ‘Tho talk abont nominating MeDonald In ease Hendricks was withdrawn, wasn fraud. It was part of the Tildon-En- Blish Jobo humiliate Mendrieks, and, then defeating MeDonald, to nominate English and hls barrel, ‘The existence of this In- trigne, so far as Englist’s efforts to have Hendricks pushed aside and himsolf nom inated, was well known In Chicago weeks hefore tho Cinelnnat! Convention, If left to their own cholee, we do not suppose there wotild have been 10,000 Demvuerats In indiana who would tinye ever asked for the nominn- tion of English for cither place on the ticket, certainly not If to do so’ was to cnuble Tilden to humillate Hendricks, ‘The* nomination of Landers for Governor was extremely offensive to thousands of Demoerats tn Indiana and to Democrats all oyer the country, ‘This mlstake Is aggra- yuted in Demoerntle esthontys by the Repub- Hean nomination of Judge Porter, than whom there is not n more neceptable Republican in thint State. A man of ability, of pureand un blemished personal character, and of strong and sterling convictions, he commands the re- spect of all men of all parties inindlann, As agninst Landors, ho stands before the people of Indiana much as Hendricks would stand If he were the Democratte candidate agalust some Republican brawler and blatherskite, ‘Tho Greenbackers. of tho Stato have been conskderanly demoralized by tho bad falth shown towards them by the Democrats, Tho Democrats were willing. to fuse and divide the nominations with the Greenbackers, provided the Democrats got all the nomina- tons; and when It camo to nominating De La Matyr, the Democrats could not stand it, but put up a eandittato of thelr own, So furas can bo judged by all the appeat- ances, tho Republicans in Indiaun are thors oughly-united, and thelr candidates aro per- sonally unobjectionible, while there aro erievons causes for complaint on the other aide, If it were not a’ Presl- dential year, Judge Porter would beat Latuters by 16,000 mofority, Sa grievous are the Nemocratle discontents, and so yital is Domueratlo snecess i Indiana, that the ontire energles of that party ure now, and will be for the coming month, devoted to the campaign tn that State, All the resources of the Democratic purty are culled upon, All the barrels In all the States are placed under requisition, while English is expected to pay out $100,000 of hls own money, tokeep Porter from belng eleoted nud to crown his Intrigue agalust Hendricks and the Democrats of In- dana with success, From now and for weeks to come Indiana and Ohio, but espe- celally Indiana, will be one vast battleground on which the Denweratio hope of continuing their candidacy untll November depends, If defeated fn Lndiuna In October,then the gon- eral ulection ju November will bu practically determined, aud English, and Landers, and Muncock will only need the formality of 4 Coronor’s inquest In November to put-on record tho fact of tholr political demise, = ‘ In Alnbama tho State debt has been re- Aueed from fifty-two milllons of dollars to seven millions of dollars, and this, tov, with- out paying a dollar, and the interest on the seven millions has been reduced to a nomi. ualrate, ‘This casy modo of payment has been adopted by tho countles throughout tho State In the mattor of local debts, Mont- gomery County, In which Is loented tho Stato Capital, has a tocal debt of acknowledged claims amounting to $14,310, ‘This debt is to be pall ont of some fund a3 tite same may be collected, ‘The county oflicers have recently given notice that S251.67 of this fund had accumulated in the Connty ‘Treasury, and bids were Ine Vited and would be reeelved till noon of Sent. & Persons holding registered claims wero asked te bid, the money te be awarded to whoever would bid tho highest rate of dis count. The bid of the man who would take nine cents on the dollar would bo preferred to that of the man who would ask ten cents on the dollar. In course of thine the local debts of Alabama will bo “pald” off us sam- marily, if hot ata less expenditure per dollar, than even the State debt. ‘Lhe County Goy- ernments who are carrying on this system are higely complimented for the vast supe- riority and economy of thelr way of doling business over that followed by Jotin Shere man and the Republican financiers of the North, CHICAGO'S POPULATION AND VOTE. ‘The magultuds of Chicago, as reverted by the reeentenwnoration tinder tho ausplees of the Qeneral Government, has naturally ex- elted considerable envy tn other elties that have not grown at more than half the same rateduring the past ten years, andl ithas led to efforts Incortain quarters to impeach thecor- reetness of the count. A St-Louls gentleman thinks he hay a clincher upon Chieago’s cen- sus frauds by saying thet, “while the returns from the other large cities of the country show an average of nbout one voter to Big persons, the Chicago count shows that there miutst be about 7 8-10 persons to every voter.” ‘The premises in this statement are wrong, ‘The fact is that thors ts no disparity. between the proportion of inhabitants and voters in Chicago and the same proportion in other large cities that [3 at all striking, ‘Lhe population of Cook County Is returned at vou,80l, ‘Iho vote for Presttont tn-this county in 1876 wag 76,503, The ratio of voters in 1876 to the present population—not to the population of four years ago—Is about one to 7810 persons. Compared with the proportion In other citles, made upon the samme basis, the ditterenice Is small aud nay be readily accounted for. ‘Thé+population of New York (clty and county) fs roported at 1,200,501. The vote of that county for President in 1876 aggregated 171,380, ‘This makes the proportion of one voter to about 7 10-17 pursons, ‘The popilation of Philadetphia (city and county) is reported to be 847,642, ‘Theagare- gate vote for President in 1878 was 130,185, ‘The proportion is one voter inasmall frac stion over 6 Inhabitants, Tho population of Cincinnati Is now re- ported nt 255,60. ‘The vote of ‘that city In 1870 was 47,033, ora ratio of about one in 54 pergons,—the largest ratio of yoters that ts shown in any of tho great citics upon tho basis adopted, ‘The population of St. Louts Is reported at 833,577 after all the extraordinary efforts that have been made to run it wp to tho highest figure. ‘The yote of thy entire county In 1876 was 47,870, which mukes the proportion of ono voter inn fraction over seven persons. ‘Thus tt will be sven that the proportion of voters to Inhabitants is but a fraction smaller ‘In Chicago than that of Now York and St. Louls, though there Is a larger difference In the case of Philadelphia and Cinelnnatl, In polnt of fact, tho proportion of voters to populntion, allowing in all cases for an In- cronse of the former daring the past four yenrs, ts lurger In,Chicago now than it was In 1870 in any comparison with othar citics. ‘Tho following table made up from the cen- sus of 1870 will show that Chicngo’s vote. thon sven more than now was In dispropor- tlon to her male inhabitants over 21 yoars .of ages Malea over 21, Voters, Chicago. OT 7 St. Louts, Cluolunuti, 61,013 ‘Thus tho census of 1870 showed that, whil only two-thirds of the males over 21 yenrs of agein Chiengo wero actual voters, in St, Louis thero were more than seyen-ninths and in Cinelnnatl more than five-sixths yot- ‘ors among the population of males ovor 21 years. When itshall bo possible to compara this year’s census with this year’s vote It will probably bo reveatud that tho proportion of votes to male inhabitants 1g still larger in other elties than In Chisago, but tha propor- tion of voters to the whole number of Inhab- itants will be yearly the same as In other citles, ns it is now upon tho basis of the vote taken four years ngo, This will be a very complete demonstration that the Chicago enumeration has not been falsifled,—a pre- sumption, for the rest, which is without tha Binallost warrant, and devold of all clements of probability, ‘Though the vote of Cook County in 1876 as compared with tho present population iy only a fraction smaller than the samo proportion of vote in Now York and St. Louts, thore ara many reasons which would account for a inuch hirgor disparity, The bulk of Chicago's growth for the decade has been nequirod mmalnly during tho Inst half of that period, and In Inrge part during tho past three years, Tho offects of tho blow which Chicago re- colyod In the fire of 1871 had searcely passed off before the pante visited common imisfor- tune upon the country, These two events together retarded for a tlie the phenomennt increase of Chicago's population. But tt is universally conceded that Chicago sut- fered less from the panic than dld any of tho othor Inrgo cities, and that It wns the firat to recover, ‘Tho early renewal of business activity here, and the general reputation of good tlines in Chi- eago, which soon spread throughout the country, promoted immigration from all parts of the continent, and gaye Chicngo its full proportion of the IMmited emigration from abroad, During the past three years tha inereaso of Chicago's population has probably oxcecded the increase of the pro- vious seven years, No part of this increase Js represented In the vote of 1870; Indeed, a constderable proportion of it will not be rep- resentod In this year’s voto, for ft includes Many unnaturallzed persons and eltizens who have not yot lived the required period in the Btate to bo entitled ta a vote, If tho Increase in Chicago's population during the past threa or four years has beon fn much larger pro- portion than that of the preceding six or seven years, and algo much larger than that of othor eltles during tho same three or four years, there might be a considerable disparl- ty between the proportion of yoters to popu Intion hore and elgewhore without exciting auspicion of unfalrness In the census enu- meration, Another’ reason why the proportion Yot yoters in Chicago fs apt to be smaller than In othor large cities is to be found in the foreign population, Its not merely because the for- eign population of this clty Is large, as that Is, truo of New York and St. Louls also, but be- cause an unusually large portion of this for- elgn population Is. composed of Swedes, Scandinaylans, Poles, and Bohemians, Thesy classes do not contain nearly so large a ratio of voters as the Germans and Irish, ‘Thoy do not take out thelr naturalization papers sq Renerally nor so promptly, nor do they, as.4 tule, take so active an Intorest in polltics, ‘To these reasons may be falrly added two or threa othors—yiz,; There hag not beew in many yeara a hotly contested election In Cileago, eateulated to draw ont Ue Inst fost voto and manufacture new voters; thers has not heen at any regular election any evidenee of fraud on a sente which would Increase the fgaregate of votes; nnd, finally, there Is wore political indifference among Chicago people as a whole than tn any other com. miunlty that ean bo named. Tho various conditions we have deserlbed would rationally account for even a marked defeleney in tho vote of Chiengo as com- pared to population, But, as we pointed out in the beginning, there Is not a marked de- ficleney, ‘Lhe contrary Is a mere assumption on the part of those who araseeking to east doubt upon tho honesty and accuracy of the consis, and His not sitstalned by the retinal figures, taking the present popttintion of the varlous large cities and thelr respeetive voles. atthe last general election. ‘Ihe fact 1s, that tht census of Chlengo, owing to the manner {n Which the work was done, 14 as nearly ace curate as that of any community in the land. JERE BLACK ON GARFIELD. Judge Jeremtah Back, who has beeomo historient as the representative of tho intel Ngence and bratns of the Demoecratte party, and Who fg unquestionably the ablest hwyer now living who afillates with that pullilend organizution, ling recently returned fri Surope, He was absent from the country when Hancock was nominated. Up to a re- cent date Black lings had tho credit of being the author of Hancock’s Order No. 40, which order Induced Black at the the to writen letter to the effect that the order ought to make Hancock Vresident. It was that suggestion which prompted Itan- cok to seek the nomlnation In 1863, and at all the subsequent Democgatle Conventions, On his return trom Ettrope to York Cliy, where he lives, Judge Binek was visited by hisold friends ant neighbors and persons from varlous other parts of Pennsylyania, and the day after one of tho editors of the Philadelphia Press had along conversition with him regarding his trip to Hurone and upon the men and places he had seen. Finally the eonversution got round to American polities, on which tho old yeteran refused to speak further than to give his tes- {imony concerning Garfield. What he said about the Republican candidate we re- produce, Considering the = fret. that dudge Binek is the political godfather of Gen, Hancock, that he ts the reputed author of all the evidences of Hancock's statesmanship, and that to Judge Black's patronage he owes his. nomination, the em- vhatle vindiegtion of Garfteltl by him is, worth whole reams of ordinary Indorsement, Judge Black benrs testimony to Garticl's truthfulness and hls personal integrity; to his stperlority Intellectually, and to hig un- swerving fidelity to Republicanism, Ils only complaint against Garituld is that the fatter adheres to the Repudlican party, and fets and votes with it, Instead of joining the Demoeratle party and voting and acting with Judge Black. We do not suppose tn ail tho Northern States there Is so pronounced a Bourbon, and at the same time so ablo a one, as Judge Black, He was the author of oltt Buehnian’s famous legal argument ‘in 1801 that Ho was not within the constitutional nower of the United States to “coerce a sovereign State.” Htc hns been an unrelent- Ing and uncompromisiy Democrat of the oll school, and 1s so yet.

OF THE FRENCH RE- PUBLIC, ‘Two speeches inves been made recently in Franee whieh practically and slgnificantly ilustrate the solid growth of tho new Ite- public, and emphasize tha will of the people ng expressed In the recent elections, Ono of thesd was made by M. Gumbetta upon the ovension of the Cherbourg fdtes, and tho other by M. de Freyclnot at a banquet given him by the municipality. of Montauban, Doth are remarkable in thelr way, the one as affecting the future of France, the other as showing whit ahe has really accomplished alice the preacnt republican form of gov- ernment was organized, ‘Tho most notice- able deelaration in M, Gambetta’s speech waa Indirectly ulmed at Germany, and fs summed’ up inthe announcement that France has so aufielently recovered from the war with Cermany that she can now calmly and quiet. ly bide her time. ‘Ihe remark was evidently mae fn no spirit of animosity or bragga- doco, but its effect npon Germany Is alrendy shown by tho Sedan promimeianento of the Emperor, which, to say the least, was hardly warranted by the elvewmstances. M, Ciunbetta evidently meant no more than that Francé has now rehabilitated herself and hns once more placed Uerself abreast of uny of the Powers, with full freedom to act upon ler own motion in European polities; that she 1s conscious of her strength; that she 1s no longer indulging ina policyof adventure; and that sho has established a lasting peace and material order at home and become mis- tress of herself, which ts the foundation principle of republicanism, No clearer evi- detives of her present strength can be afford- ed than her fnanelal prosperity, her refusal to Join in any alliances, her prompt withdrawal from the proposed coalition of the Powera to apply coercive mensures to Turkey In set- tng the Greclan question, and the emphatic manner in whieh the people at the recent elections to the Councils-General sustained their Government tn its dverees against the non-nuthorized rehgious associntions, All these resul's are evidences that Franve feels herself able to stand alone, to have a policy ot, her own, andto bite her tine, DL de Freyeinet in his specch, mado only a few weeks ago, contributed much Interest- Ing Information upon the present condition of the Republic. Me showed that from.tho very moment France became a Republic sha comimenced to recover from the prostration caused by tho war with. Germany. ‘Tho elec- tlons proved that all the parties in France, with the exeeption of the Republican, had a. merely nominal existence, and that the Re- publican party meant to avoid all extremes, having no sympathy with the revoltitionists elther of tho’ Right or Left. ‘Tho steady growth of her prosperity he HMlugtrated with statistics showing the expenditures for public works, and In the face of these ex- penditures tho stendy remission of taxes,—a problem of the revenue our own legislxcors might study to advantage. “Tho progress from year to year,” snys M, de Freyeinot, ‘is reckoned by hundreds of millions of francs in proportion a8 workshops are filled up and multiplied. In 1877 L expended 100 millions; In 187), 200 millions; this year we are ex- pending 800 millions; next year'wo shall ox- pend 400 millions; in 1883 we shall expend 600 millions, and shall keep at that level to: the ond, which, according to my ealeulations, will be about 189,” While making theso enormous expenditures for public works the Government 13 engnged upon an- other work which is almost with- wt parallel in tho political history of any country—namely: tho remission of taxes, —thatls, diminisning rocelpts while the ont- Iny Increases. Upon thls point M. de Froy- clnet says: In the year Just olapsed we have asked the Chambers, which voted them with patriotic engerness, for 100 millions of: remissions; but we are quite sure that the country wil give them back to us in the shapo of increased consumption, for this country is admirable—nothing 1s lost, Every facllily granted to it is immediately trans- formed into afresh effort and fresh progress,” Another one of the most casentlal condi- tions of the growth und stability of repub- Henn institutions is thus alluded to by the speaker, who in this matter speaks with au- thority: “The democracy want ta be edu- cated and to be entightened; we are there- fore plentifully diffusing education, primary ag. well as secondary teaching; sec ondary ns well as higher educa- tion. “We hope that in a fow years a citizen who {3 unable to read and write willbe © phenomenon we verable in the Lrench Republic.
