TMORSDAY. NOVEMBER 27,1884.

TO OUR aUBSGRIBHRB. Last simmer the Gauitb omitted sending oat it* regular stmi-anmnl statemeDt of account because of the failure of the wheat crop and the general tightness «f the times which made it difficult for svbeoribers to pay op. This liberal policy. we trust, has been appreciated and we hepe that our subscribers will now •ome to the front in the course ot the aext few weeks and pay up. About the •iddle of December a statement ot account will oe printed in the paper of each person who owes one year or more.. This is a great deal of trouble to us. where the number is large and an annoyance to the subscriber and we therefore hope by prompt payment at onoe this nubs may be very greatly reduced. Subscribers who have been hard up and let (heir accounts

utj behind muet remember that i|

takes money to print a large and expensive pj I» ike tbe Ga«mt* and must he c&<\ on us now that the good corn crop ijab come, as we were easy ea them after 'tis bad wheat harvest. We have one dead-beat ef the Jasper Newton Woods variety on our books and do not want any more.

In tbis connection we desire to thank tbe large number who have not oaly kept tuvir subscriptions paid up but have nt missionary work among their igiibors, getting us new subscribers and doing their neighbors afavdr by intioiiuciKg in their homes a live and go-ici newspaper, which, like a babe, is a joy forever.

Judok Mack sign.tiieud his entrance up t).i duties of judg. ot the Circuit Court iliin morning by the promulgation a scries ot seventh iuls, additional to those air. ady sn iorcc, for the regulation ot th«r bnsint-M? of the court. With these the general ubiio has nc special imprest being oiatli of concern more particular ly to th« attorneys, with the exception ot the first one. Tbis relates to a malt about which the community has felt coo aid ruble interest at different times in t'ae \riit It declares that "Attorneys wil not be accepted as sureties for persons chargid criminal offenses." This a good and wise rule, though perhaps it should have been enlarged and forbid den attorneys to set as sureties or bonds men .o any class of cases. The reason is obvious. Professional eourteay, ac cording to the gold plated rale of be easy on mo to-day and I'll be easy on you to morrow, retrains a lawyer from pushing a brotber lawyer who is a surety or bondsman, and when this fact is coupled with the amazi ig fertility ot an attorney in finding flavts in the regularity of al bond which isiorfeit and the penalty of which falls on him—why then the weather is wintry lor tbe ordinary litigant ancl the orart is lost in eouitcsy. It aould be adde.l t^at tbe rale is a good •ne foi the lawyers themselves and re lieves them irom a disagreeable pieee of business often forced upon them by the importunities of unscrupulous clients.

TES ME lliOPOL.ITAN POLICE SYSTEM. The Gaeettk last Thursday contained an interview with State Senator-elect Schloss. Ir. that interview, together with many excellent opinions on public affairs, and which this paper heartily endorses, is the statement that he hopes to bring Terre Haute within the provisions of the metropolitan oolice bill. The Gabbtth insisis that he should do nothing of the kind. Every siuce Terre Haute was granted a charter and organised as a city, the citizens' of the place have exercised the exclusive right to regulate their police affairs. It is apiece of business which they consider themselves better able to manage than any other persons living, and vastly better able to manage than any set O state officers, at Indianapolis, however wise end discreet they may be.

But this is not all. They would v. ry much prefer to mismanage tht-ir own affairs than to have any other prsons living el8twhcu anag« them well. This may seem a strange doctrine but it is true and it contains within it the very essence of the principle for which our lathers contended when they inaugurated the revolution. Local self govermeot is the key to the problem of the American system of government. Power flows upwards from the people to the government and not downward from the govern me^t to .the people. If any thing goes wrong with our local affairs the »euaedy is easy of applicaiiou a- quick. Each spring brings the remedy for all evils in city goveramenl audit can be applied

"'M

out comp'i^ ati'n wi*h other qnes'iona ot larger concern. More than ibis, here is a very vital

question ot the power of |be people of. Terre Haute manage thiir own .ff.i. which Stnator-elec tiebloss talks of takieg away from them without especially considering their wishes in the matter He knows perfectly well that this ques tion did not enter at all into the late canvass- National question: in general, and more especially the question of returning Senator Toorhees to the Senate was the matter whieh dominated the legislative canvass just closed. On that questions very decided majority of tbe people were with Mr. Bchloss and his colleagues of the legislative ticket. But had the question been one ef this people giving up to a quiutum— virate of state officers the power over the police, we have the best of reasons tor believing the result would have been qoite different from what it was, assum ing for the sake of the illustration that and his colleagues had favored such abdication of the privileges of local self government We have said we have the best of reasons for this belief. That, perhaps, is misleading. All we know, aud this we know very well, is that the Gaibitk, earnestly and b.ontstly Demo cratic as it ie, would hare opposed their election and this surrender of sacrcd rights, quite as aealoesly as it favored their election in the contest just closed with such happy results.

What we insist on, therefore, is that Senator Sehloes, not having been elected on this issue, should not under any circumstances undertake to give away this time-honored and valuable franchise of the people of Terre Haute. That he believes such surrender wise is a matter be. tween him and hie conscience that the people, the question being submitted to to them, could surrender, if they chote. this right into tbe custody of others, is beyond all dispute, bat that, without such special warrant, any one should dare to dispose cf the right of self government inherent in a free people, is an idea not to be tolerated for a moment. Senator Bchloss and the legislative delegation from ibis county, as well as the legislators from the rest of the state, will have a cart, it they are rise, how they deprive the people of this fair city ot the inalienable rigLt to manage their own affairs without the special warrant contain din a direct vote on the question. When a right is sat rendered it shall be by the authority of the people expressly granted, and not fthsrwiaa.

THE WESTERN UNION TBLE: GRAPH AND ELECTION RB~ RF, TURNS. R%

Norvin Greene, president ot the Westera Union Telegraph Company, has addressed a long letter to the public denying that his company tampered with the election returns seeking to confuse the public mind and leave it in doubt as to result of the late presidential contest. He enters into details explaining the system used by the company in collecting and disseminating the news. He does not, however, explain bow and why in the midst of the transmission of the news from New York the day after the election the intelligent system of comparison, previously used and perfectly satisfactory, was suddenly dropped and another and different and wholly contusing and unexplained system by districts was used. Whoever wag responsible for that should have his official head chopped off without the benefit of clergy

POLITICAL INTOLERANCE. ANew Haven, Conp., dispatch says: "Rev. Thomas R. Bacon, Sunday, read a letter from the pulpit resigning his pas-

al church. In speaking of the matter to. day Mr. Bacon said that his reasons tor resigning are the very evident manifestations of dislike and displeasure with his political position in the late campaign. He was prominent in the independent Republican movement.

The Rev. Baoon mentioned above is well known here in Terre Haute, having filled the pulpit of (he Congregational church in this city. Hia resignation for the cause given is a striking exhibition of intolerance on the part of his congregation. He did not preach politics from his pulpit. A congregation can and onght to object to that sort of thing. All violations of the proprietiers that occured in in that way were in be. half ot Bisirand they were numerous. But he did have very decided opinions on the subjeet ot Blaine's dishonesty and ht|gave expression to them every where as he had aright to, except in his pulpit. This rebellion avainst him, therefore, is a digus specimen cf bulldoaing on the part of an v.. alleg* ed religions society. The Gazettb congratulates Rev. Bacon on tbe severance of the ties which bound bim to so disreputable a set of people. They doubtless |have souls, and souls, oo, which evidently stand very greatlj in need of saving, but then he did not intend to do missionary work among heathen and his late congregation seem to be beathen of the worst and blindest sort. The only humilating thing to Rev. Bacon must be the discovery that upwards of four years of hw preaching has not only not made them Christian?, but bas failed to eradicate that natural savagery and qplfishness which mast be got rid of befoie a dcctnt eitizen and an honest man is evolved. Thestt beautiful buccaneers of the Dwigbt Place church iliuuid be put nnder police surveillance. People who try to rob others of their freedom of opinion would taket almost anything that was not chained or watched.

Panic-Striokea Passsagers in a Ferry ®oa*Philadelphia, Nov. 28.—There was a

0Ver

in Indiana and in the conclusion of his twcl by Imd and water wes much imcard, he says: "The only other returns complained were those of Indianapolis, where at the request of the political committees and thti press, in the absence of any agent of the Associated Press, tbe reports came through and were sent out by our superintendent, Mr. Wallack, who insists that he used every effort to obtain all the returns as speedily as possible. I consider the demand for an investigation of that service made by tbe Indianapolis Sentinel, and also by Mr. Wallick himself, reasonable and proper and I have asked the chairman of the Indiana Democratic state committee to take part in the investigation or to name a leprest ntative to do so. The management of this company in its business relating to the public is strictly nonpolitical and non-partisan. The employes represent every shade of political opinion and are in the company's ter vice solely by virtue of their proficiency as telegraphers. What their individual political opinio are has never be^n io any case callcd into question nor have thbir notes ever been cauv»s'd or learned. But of those with whom 1 personally came in contact, I know tlm there are quite as many Democrats ae Republicans. It is therefore manifestly absurd to charge that the service ol the company could be converted into a party machine, or could :n any way distort or stifle the facts when such au attempted conspiracy could only have been mad in and oi a large number oi members ot the {"'i ioxl pnr'.y which it :•. :n:d to inju i. r-

WASHiroTO*, Nov. 88:—When the Swaim court martial met this morning he Judge Advocate submitted to the court an additional charge against Swaim, embodying the allegations contained in he amendment offered by him ytst&day the second specification to tbe original first charge, and which was rulee opt by the court. Swaim pleaded not gnSy to the second charge and refused to plead to the additional charge, bis counsel objecting on the ground that it wss something that had not come trom any authority calling this court. In arguing his motion to strike cot the additional charge as "unlawful and incompetent," Gen. Grosvenor said it began to lo to an ordinary observer ss if there was an organised and persistent persecution of Uen. Swaim. Chandler replied that tbe apprehension expressed by Gen. Grosvenor waa-unfonnded, and he believed it was the hope ot everybody that Gen. Swaim would be honorably acquitted. He said tbe step proposed was perfectly proper. On the conclusion of. the argument the court went into secret session to consider the question raised by tbe motion. The court, sustained the propriety ef the additional charge, i'he hearing waa then adjourned till Monday

WraciNOiOB, Del., Nov. 88.—A wedding behind the bats of the County Jail at New Castle, is the absorbing topic for tfoscip in that village. The marriage is a peculiarly romantic one.

In eddition to his sentence ot three years, Blake was sentenced to receive thirty lashes, but at the earnest pleadings ot

TUB CONVICT'S SWEETHEART, the Governor remitted the lashing. Since that time tbe girl bas been a freqv.cnt visitor to the jail, bringing delicacies to ber lover.

A few days ago she inquired whether, if she became tbe wife of the piisontir, she would be permitted to visit hiui alone. She wax told she would, and at once expressed her wish to be united to him. Blake was equally anxious and Mayor B'.ack finally performed tbe ceremony that

"Yes," said tbe doctor. "Dlam, Dlam!" said Joe Tom. "You cntteef asked Ah Diag. "Yes," replied the physician.

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT.

Explosion' of a Fslniaate Cap ia the Hand of Little Blanche Fitch. Yesterday evening a peculiar acciden occurred to Blanche Fitch, a seven-year old daughter of Capt. A. B. Fitch, of south Sixth street. The little gitl was picking at a fulminate cap which she held in her hand, totally unaware of its dreadlul nature, when the cap exploded, tearfully iarorating ber lc-tt hand. Medical assistance was speedily summoned and amputation made of the firs', joints ot two fingers and the thumb. The right hand wss not iDjured

The exp'osion caused a loud report, as if irom the discharge 1 a pistol. The shock waa a severe one the little girl, but ehe rested well last night, and the injury will not be as serious as at first anticipated It is especially fortunate that the little girl was not hoidiDg the cartridge near her face when thtT explosion occurred, or the result would, indeed, have been deplorable.

The cap is what is known as a fuiminute exploder and is used to explode dynamite cartridges, bearing the same relation (o dytamiU that a gun cap does to a gun. The cap is in shape of an ordinary percussion cap and is filled with the same material, tne only difference bingthfttitis Ip.-^er, Several of them Captain Fitch haa in his tfsgk, being: samples of some used in bis engineering work several years ago. Ihcse the chili got possession of it in some way and holding one tight between tbe first t~vo fingers and tbe thumb of ber left hand wai trying to pick out tbe white stuff in tbe bottom, ilad is not been held tight ly in the fingers it would have dooe no damage even whan it-.-did explode.
