Indiana's Favorite Sens.
Indiana is blessed with two presidential
candidates, for whom it see-saws witli
commendable Impartiality, and who
themselves ride and tie with praiseworthy
complaisance. Four years age Hen
dricks was presented for the presidential
nomination by Indiana and u delegation
sent te Cincinnati Instructed te support
him unltedlj , which was headed by Mc
Donald. New Indiana proclaims Mc
Donald te be her first choice for presi
dent, and sends te Chicago a delegation
headed by Hendricks, Instructed te
vote as a unit for her favorite son. It
might be supposed that Hendrlcks had
fallen in the esteem of the Indiunlans as
McDonald has uscended ; but the fact
seems rather te be that Indiana could
b9 happy with either, and puts Mel) in
nld ahead this year from her sense
of fair play and doslre te be
strictly impartial. At Cincinnati four
years age it was said that the dele
Ration, finding that its efforts for Hen
drlcks were vain, telegraphed him a
request that they might try their hand
with McDonald, but that Hendricks,
preferring te hnng en te the last chance,
failed te rojpend te the request with
an enthusiastic afflnnntive. He is new,
however, ready te give McDonald his
turn, and the latter will have an op ep op
pertunity,doubtlcss,to let Hendricks try
his cliancn again when his race is run.
Indiana will be ready again te change
her horses. Mr. Hendricks being in the
convention may hope te get loose from
the Tilden tie and show liitn
nelf eligible for the first place.
But he will net be the only presidential
stick in that body for the lightning te
strike. Thurman, the great, for instance,
will be there, Instructed only for the
impossible Tilden ; and if the first
favorite, Cleveland, is shut out by the
likely Uiyard.Thiirinan may exhibit in
the convention an agility that will laud
him ahead en the hemestretch.
Secretary or Internal Affairs.
The value te the common wuilth of
the office of secretary of internal affairs
depeuds very largely upon the kind of
a man who fills it. Its work may be
neglected, the sceic of the oilice unap
preciated, aud its functions dl- charged
in a very lax and negligent way, se that
its various departments become but
roosting places for party dependents te
draw their pay. Such we have reason te
belleve It was, te a vi ry large extent
under Dunkel, whose elect jair te the
place was an. acci'.tent and a surprise.
Gii the ether baud, in the direction of
a capable man, it may be made a place
for the collection of very valuable
material of immediate and remote in
terest and value te the state, as well as
for the active exercise of important
functions. The present ellicer, Mr.
Africa, has special aptitude for the
place. His professional acquirements,
thorough Knowledge of the different
localities of the state, of their history
and resources, and of the surveys of the
commonwealth, joined with industry
aud painstaking care as shown by ins
rejHJrts qualify him in n remarkable
degree for his pest.
The reiwrts of his chief of the bureau
of statistics, Mr. Joel 11. McCamaut,
justify the general approval which his
appointment met. They are compre
hensive and complete ; and exhibit far
mere reliable data than the governmental
census. The people of Pennsylvania
scarcely knew what a vast empire their
state is, with mere jieeple than the whole
country had at the time of the revolu
tion, with greater variety of resources,
weilthnud industries than any ether
state, aud adding absolutely mere te its
population in the last decade than
any ether. Mr. McCamaut lias been
highly successful in gathering his in
formation, and the publication of it
makes a series of volumes whic'i are
well calculated te inspire a citizen of the
atate witli fresh nrlde in Pennsylvania.
The Religious Issue.
The attempt of some of Mr. Maine's
superserviceable friends te drag 10 10
llgieus issues Inte the presidential can
vass has been a misadventure. It was
ill timed and Impertinent, and lias veri
naturally been a boomerang. We de net
see that it matters much what religion
Mr. Maine has, nur what ether religion
lib mother had, nor hew much his father
lacked of having any religion. Hut the
beast of 8ome of his understrappers that
he would manipulate the " Irish vete "
aud ' the Orangemen's vete " and " the
Catholic vote," with such versatility 11s
would leave 11 Hue of luminosity in
political management, has directed at.
tentleu te his record.
One of the facts adduced by the dis
cusslen ever this nimble statesman's
agility is that seme niue years age he
ran a red mouthed Knew Nothing cam
paign in Maine. He was chairman of
the state committee of his party, cham
pioning the election et Gen. Plalsted te
Congress against a Democratic candl
date who happened te be an Irishman
and a Catholic. In that campaign a
cireular was distributed, bitterly assail
ing riaisted'8 opponent, simply because
he was a Catholic. It contained such
bitter expressions aud bold lies as these ;
De the Pietcstaut Democrats of the

(J. Madlgau, the Dotnecratio candidate for
Congress Iu the Fourth dlstrier, is a very
zealous Hainan CuUiolle. It is believed
by tnauy that he is a lay member or the
secret order of Jesuits, just as the l.ite
Honater OasBerly, of California, was. Cas

meuey $100,000 contributed by that order
aud the fact belug dlsoeverod, Casserly

father, Mr. Charles Schuyler, a wealthy
merchant, resided en Forty suth street,
near Madtnen avenue, New Yerk, lie
had two daughters, l.ittra and Dera,
liiura fell in leve with Geerge Wellington,
who brought with him letters of tecum

ing hew his daughter's atteotteiis were
being centered 011 the handsome foreigner,
wrote te his h'igiisli acquaintances aud
learned that the letters uf rco.uutueud t
turn were forgetie. He was about te
elose his doers te the young adventurer
when the latter declared that he had
secretly married Laura a week previous,
aud that Ins father-In-law had belter
make the best of it. In a r ice the f ill 0.
settled patt of his estate en his daughter,
se that she might never Ntiffer any want,
and then ordered the piir never te 001110
Inte Ins presence again, whereup m tin y
left the cuy and disappeared,
Dera, the ether d itigbter, married a
young merchant, Mr Theodere St. IJ nti
teu, who became his father in law's part
nor. The author of the personal, new a
haudseine, dark featured young man
about S3 years of age, is their only child.
Last year Mi Schuyler became ill and
before his de ilh he asked te see all ti.s
children ag.un. At this tune the Well ng
tens were living in Hndgepert under an
assumed name. In seme way Mr. Wei
liugteu had net held of the property which
Mr. Schuyler li id intended te settle en his
daughter alone, an I had squindered it.
Their eue daughter, Lnira Schuyler Wel
liugten, was a maul for a family en Slate
ctrtHjl. Tlau fauls were known te Mrs.
St. IJumtiHi aud she scut word te
her sister of their dying father's
wishes. The Wellingtens went te New
Yerk, tue late, however, te see Mr.
Schuyler alive. Iu his will, after making
previsions for the two ilauuhters lie be
queathed the rest uf the estate te the two
grandchildren, provided they married aeli
ether, otherwise te the 0110 who was will
ing te marry. If both declined te marry
the estate was te go te a charitable iusti
tutieu. eung Charles was willing te
marry his pretty cousin, but she positively
refused 011 greuuds both et consanguinity
aud beeac.Mj she felt her mother had been
wronged. Sh leturned te I!rnli:epert and
continued her work as a maul. The attor
ney of the estate wrote te her several
times luferniiug her that she would lese a
fortune uule.-s she complied with the
terms of the will. Still h!ie refused, and
the attorney was obliged te tuiu the
whele of the estate te Mr St. iuiuleu.
The thought th.it his cetiMUwas passing
her hfu in a menial liositieu worried the
young man, ami determined te voluntarily
traUbter half the estate te her. He wrote
te her te this etlect several tunes, hut re
ceived ue auswer. The unstress of the
house where the yeuug girl was at wrvice
returned the letters uueieued, sUtiugthat
she did net kuew where her maid had
gene. Mr. St. Quiuten dually determined
te ceme te the city himself. He stepped
at tlie Sterling house, aud after iiusucei'ss
fully searching for his cousin, as a last
resert inserted the advertisMiieut. It is
said that Miss Wellington saw tlf por per por
seual aud called nt the postelllce for the
letter mentioned, aud then wrote linn a
touching letter, thanking him for hut
generosity. Friends who kuew both
parties new say that it would net he
strange if old Mr. Schuyler's wishes would
be fulfilled and all end well.

New Yerk state. They dually turned up
at Harnsbiirg, where Hrimmr had a
sister, en tlie Mituiay that Urimmer w s

uutil he reached Davenport, Iowa, where
lie was arrestetl ler playing cards aud
placed iu the station hottse. While con
lined the ellicers shuwetl him a telegram,
giving a description of himself, but 10
fused te tell him where it was from.
After being 111 thu station huuse several
days he elleeted his escape, by tiling oil an
ireu bar ever thu window. He then
crossed the river te Heek Islaud, aud, after
walking about forty miles aud hiding him
self in the weeds, he took a train which
landed him in Chicago. On the second
day after his arrival he met " Patsy "
Deylo, who to3egui.od him, although Uu..

had a conversation, wheu Huz.ard recol
lected that Doy'e hail served in prison here
in lbTO for a light offetiso. Tney talked

would be the last man te ever give him
away.

described. He thought at ouce that
Deylo hail peached ou him, with the hope
of securing sumo of the reward, and
speke very bitterly of his conduct. After
finding that it was all up, Huz.ard ad
mitted te the ollicers that he was the man
wauted, as he desired te return te Penn
sylvania. Huz.ard states that after leaving the
mountain he uover saw any of the party
who cscaped with him. He read accounts
at diffcruut times in the papers of the cap
ture uf the ether prisoners aud the stories
of his whereabouts. He kept himself well
posted in regard te these things. He was
always 011 the leek out, and would net be
in prison te-day had it net been for
Deyle's treachery. As It is, he is satisllud
for the present, but if ever he escapes he
iuteuds making it very het for Deylo.

in regard te the reward. After his arrival
in Chicago he was taken iu charge by the
ellisurs, who showed him every attention.
Before leaving for Hpringlleld, the state
capital, the sherifT told the ollicers that the
reward was but $100. They soeniod td
doubt this, and thought that the sheriir
wanted te make something out of the
arrest. The latter was firm, howevor, and
upon his return from Spriugiield assured
thorn that what he had stated was oerrect,
and demanded the prisoner, stating that
he could take him without paying any
reward if he se desired, ns they could net
held him. The ollicers finally agreed te
take the mouey, and the prisoner was
turned ever.
The sherilf is satisfied from what he saw
and heard that it was Deylo who Informed
en Huzzard, and I10 was te have received
50 for it. The amount of the reward
likely ehanged this nrratigometit consider
ably. The sherilf left Chicago en Tuesday
