The Latest News.
—Prominent Democrats as well as Republicans in Washington think itishigjhly probable that Tennessee will be carried by the Republicans next Fall. Tne
—Deputy Sheriff Samuel Rumer Saturday arrested Jos. Hebbert, who is charged with having murdered young Hamer at the Stanley bagnio in Vincennes.some time since, and immediately tted. The arrest was made in Evansville. and the prisoner was taken to Yineennes and lodged in jail. Tin* Knox Circuit Court being now in session, Hebbert will be doubtless tried for the murder at the present term. —Bishop Bowman dedicated, on yesterday, the new M. E. Church in Greencastle, known as College Avenue Church, Over $8,000 was raised by subscription, enough to liquidate the cfiurcli debt. The new edifice has cost $20,000. The building is of the Gothic style of architecture and is divided into two separate departments— the auditorium and Sunday school room. The auditorium is 68 feet long and 58 feet wide, with galleries at the side and in the rear, and will seat about 800 persons. —The Galveston News special from City of Mexico, of date February 21st, says: General Grant and party arrived to-night on a special train, accompanied by Minister Foster, the Mexican reception committee and others. They were met at the depot by the city officials and members of the federal government. The streets were packed with people. Grant and party in carriages, were escorted to the Mineral college by 2,000 infantry and 500 cavalry. The buildings and streets were ablaze with illuminations. —On Saturday, at LaFayette, Judge Vinton, of the Tippecanoe Circuit Court, rendered his decision in the Godman case. In 1873 Godman was elected County Treasurer, and made his settlements with the County Commissioners at the regular periods. After Mr Godman had been out of the office for several years it was discovered that he had not been charged with certain sums of money, but that he had been credited with them, and had thus received in his four years $20,957.13 more than he was really entitled to from the county. As soon as this was discovered, the county brought suit against Mr Godman, who set up the plea that his settlements with the Commissioners were final. Judge Vinton decided that the settlements bv tlic Commissioners with Mr Gpdman were judicial acts, and absolutely binding and conclusive upon the county, and that there was no power to go behind the settlements anil open them up: and that the act of the Legislature of 18^9 could not be made to apply to this case.
WAHINOTON, Feb. 22.—Judge Cox will to-morrow deliver the decision of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia sustaining the demurrer of the Postmaster General to the bill filed by Dauphin to re strain the execution of the order requiring registered letters addressed to Dauphin to be returned to the writers, and money orders sent to him refused payment arid the money refunded. The opinion sustainfl the constitutionality of the law and. the entire action of the Postmaster General. In this, four judges unite. Judge James holds that the law only contemplates fraudulent or lottery letters, but denies the power of the court to issue the mandatory injunction sought. Chief-Justice Carter gives the same interpretation of the law, and claims jurisdiction in the court to grant relief. This is a complete triumph over the lottery ring.
It has been suggested to Perry S. Westfall, of the Saturday Evening Mail, that in his very laree corps of newsboys he possesses an abundance of material from which to select a first-class iuvenile Pinafore company. He has taken the matter under serious consideration, and should he conclude to organize, the troop will be placed under the best musical and religious instruction at once, and will b« ready for the road about April 1 .—Express, yesterday. 11 vw r.-ii

As Mr Kennedy & one of the best posted men in Indiana on gravel roads, and road laws, it was suggested that he remain in the city until to-morrow evening, and address a meeting of citizens at the court house on those subjects. Mr Kennedy informs the DAILY NEWS that he would gladly do so, but he has legal business before the Supreme Court at Indianapolis to-morrow, that he cannot postpone. At some future date, he will come down and give a talk about road.Vv .x

NEWS takes stock in this telegraphic announcement from Washingtou. If a good man, like Horace Maynard for instance, is nominated for Governor, the Republicans can carry the State, —Some Russian students are again in trouble. They are suspected of having fired the Academy of Forrest Culture, at Moscow, which, with its celebrated museum. was yesterday entirely destroyed. The voung gentlemen have been arrested, which, in the present turbulent condition of affairs in the empire of the Czar, is tantamount to a convietion of the crime alleged against them. —The all-absorbing topic in Washington is the meeting of the National Democratic Executive Committee, which takes placc this morning. If any reliance may be placed upon a careful estimate of the average views expressed, it may be assumed that the chances are in "favor of Cincinnati as the place and June 10th as the time for holding the National convention.

•Subscription to the DAILY NEWS only 10 cents per week. AllOITADVERTISnt:. Riipeclally AdvertUinir In the Dally NCHI*.
The DAILY NEWS solicits advertisements from the merchants and business men, mechanics and professionals, of Terre Haute. It does not propose, however, that its solicitors shall buzz around their ears hour by hour with the pertinacity of a modern book agent, until their solicita tions are rewarded. The publishers of this paper propose to make it worthy of a large subscription list, and that. it. will receive such a subscription they do not for a moment doubt. It is an established fact that newspaper advertising is the most valuable medium by which an in dividual can place his goods or wares, or his occupation before the public and the value is in proportion to the number who will likely see the advertisement. As to the value of an advertisement in the DAILY NEWS, we will say that we print to-day 1,000 copies, and shall print no less to-morrow, or any succeeding day. We do not start with this number of subscribers, we admit, but each copy printed will be placet], like Oakes Ames' money was a few years ago, where it. will do the most good. The subscription list will exceed this number before the expiration of the month.'
The DAILY NEWS solicits advertisements, and rates will be found elsewhere It will be seen that these rates are com puted by the line, and for advertisements occupying short length of space, with daily changes, if the advertiser sees fit to make them. This is the kind of advertising that is preferred. Space in the paper is valuable, and adfi. for "filling" are not sought for. The larger sheets, with their cheap patent medicine and absolutely dead "fill up" advertising, may cover a larger sheet of white paper, but that gives them no value. The DAILY NRWB has no dead space. Every line counts. We want our advertising to be news in itself, and hence worth five time* to the advertiser which it would be if concealed in "fill up" rubbish. Wc bplieve in the system of having the business man advertise when be has something to communicate to the public, and not com pel him to take a space which is practically dead to him nine months in the year, in order to have a low rate, while in reality he is paying an excessive rate for the three months when the advertisement may be of advantage to him. The customs, as regard* advertising of the huge cities can he just as well adapted to the smaller onea, and sucii an innovation would grow in popularity as it Iwcame thoroughly understood, j-
