A NEW IDEA.

The Daily News Call Boxes and Messengers. To facilitate the collection of city news, as well as to place advertising patrons in close connection with the office, the publishers have placed Call Boxes at different points throughout the city, each of which will be visited several times during the day, from 7 o'clock A till 2:00 by the Messenger Boys of the DAILY NEWS. These Boxes have been put up for the purpose of affording a place of deposit for information of local news, and we cordially invite any person who has knowledge of any matter of public interest happening in his or her vicinity to write out the facts and drop it in one of our Boxes. Attached to each Box will be found tablets of paper. Sign your name to your communication, for the knowledge of the editor only, as a guarantee of good faith on your part. We initial on this items not signed by a known responsible name are of the value of waste paper, and will be treated accordingly. The advertising patrons of the DAILY NEWS will also find these Boxes a convenience, as they can drop their favors therein, and thereby save a walk to the office.

Communications, orders for the DAILY NEWS by carrier or mail, advertising copy, or information of any kind intended to reach the office, can be handed to the DAILY NEWS Messenger Boys, as they pass to and fro through the streets. They will be known by their blue caps with DAILY NEWS in white letters on the front, aud Message Pouches of light-colored leather. The names of our Messenger Boys are: GEOIIOE M. SPARKS and WILLIAM I. POWER. They are. while on duty for the DAILY NEWS, and wearing the badge of the paper, its accredited repre sentatives, ami we trust they will, in their business relations, merit the commendation of our patrons, as well sis ourselves, for attention to their duties.

LOCATION OF BOXES.

At the Drug Store of Buntin & Armstrong, corner Sixth and Main streets. At the Terre Haute House, on desk in the reading room.

At the "Depot Drugstore" of Robinson & Sherburne, 930 Chestnut street. At "East End Drug Store," .1. E. Somes, 1201 Main street.

At the Grocery Store of A. C. Acuff, 411 LaPayette street, corner of Locust. Additional boxes will be placed in other localities in a few days.

The following card is attached to each box: DAILY NEWS MESSAGE BOX.

This box is placed here by the consent of the proprietor, as a place of deposit for local items, society news, or anything of a character that would be of interest to the reader of a daily Terre Haute newspaper. The publishers solicit such information from any on*. They only ask contributors to be brief and to the point, and to give the information at once—what may be news to-day, ten chances to one will be no news to-morrow. tyQffensive personalities must be avoided._JE1 Write your items on the paper attached, and drop it in the box, which will be visited several times each forenoon, up to 2 M, by the DAILY NEWS MESSENGER BOYS, and the contents conveyed to the DAILY NEWS office. A responsible name is required to be signed to each item, (for the personal knowledge only of the Editor,) as a guarantee of good faith. tSrOrders for the DAILY NEWS to be left by carrier or sent by mail, or copy for advertisements, can also be placed in the box, thus securing early attention to such orders. Local items or ads. can be handed to the DAILY NEWS MESSENGER BOYS, as they pass through the streets. ,,

Special Dtapatch to Boston Traveller.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18—The Southern Democratic newspaivcrs are, to a very large extent, advocating a ticket composed of Bayard, and McDonald, of Indiana. This ticket has met with a very warm reception, and by many Democrats regarded as the strongest that could be put in nomination. After thinking the matter over Senator McDonald has come to the conclusion not to allow his name to be used, or in any way to be a candidate for the second place on the ticket. In conversation with a Northern Democratic Congressman, who is my informant, Senator McDonald said he was gratified at the way his name had been received. He had a duty to perform to his family, and this would not permit Jiim to run for VicePresident, even if he knew he could be elected. Next year he goes out of the Senate, unless re-elected, and he said he felt reasonably certain of being returned again for another six years. This was better and more congenial than occupying the Vice-President' chair for four years. It is absolute political death for any man to accept the Vice-Presidency, as he loses his hold upon his State and his party, which he is supposed to represent. Senator McDonald will probable indicate in a formal way in a short time his decision not to be a candidate for the second place on the Democratic ticket. ,•

Jv Of Course, They Wooll Try. Indlanapolie Journal.

The Sentinel prints conspicuously a letter from a correspondent at Auburn, in this State, who, after expressing his opposition to the constitutional amendments says: "We here may he a little Bourbonish, hut we believe the constitution of the United States never did, nor does it now as amended, nor any act of Congress, ever conferred the right of suffrage in the States. Nor, can the General Govern ment determine who we the citizens

voters in the States. We

think our State Constitution the paramount law upon that subject, and consequently that the Republican law of tm is unconstitutional so far as it seeks to confer suffrage upon the negro. We here'arc perfectly willing to stand by our constitution in denying suffrage to the negro."

This is from a representative Democrat, and we doubt not it represents the sentiments of a large part of the Indiana Dent* oemcy Away down in their hearts they believe the fifteenth amendment to the constitution invalid, and if they ever get fuli contrc«l of tie Government they .jfilL tiy to repeat it. *4 .* process

Donaway, Heniy Bader, Sr., and Wm. W. Davis. Mr. Donaway was injured about the head and spine, and is the most seriously hurt Bader about the head and limbs, and Davis had his leg badly bruised.

•-•Mr. Kennedy expressed himself to the editor of this paper last night as highly pleased to see so much enthusiasm displayed among the Republicans of this city so early in the campaign. He thinks it presages victory for the party in this county next Fall. He also, like every one else who visits Terre Haute, "fell in love" with Ihe city. Yesterday was his first visit in 10 years, and he says he is coming down again soon, and take a good look at the "Prairie City."

Col Hnditon v*. city of Kvansvllle. Telegram to Cin. Enquirer

EVANSVILLK, Feb. 31.—Col R. N. Hudson, of Terre Haute, who purchased the bed of the Wabash and Erie Canal within the city limits under a decree of the United States Court at the suit of the bondholders, is here to present a claim against the city for $100,000 for filling it up and occupying it for street purposes. His claim includes the old basin containing several acres now in the heart of the city, the part on which the Court house and jail stand having been purchased from the abutting property owners who took possession of it on Ihe abandonment of the canal for $55,000. Col Hudson will present his claim to the City Council Mondav night. The City Attorney thinks he will not be able to recover, claiming that the ground was not held in fee simple, butonlv under an easement, which expired with the abandon ment of the canal.

The DAILY NEWS is of the opiuion that the city attorney will discover that the recent decision of U. S Judge Drummond will knock his opinion.

DAILY NEWS

ABOITT ADVERTIilNtl.

Especially Advertising In the Dally

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 cars hour by hour with the pertinacity of a modern book agent, until their solicitations are rewarded. The publishers of this paper propone 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 ihtt newspaper advertising is the most valuable medium by which an individual 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 placed, like Oakes Ames' money was few years ago, where it will do the most good. The subscription list will exoecd this number before the expiration of the month.

The DAILY NEWS solicits advertisements, and rates will lie found elsewhere. It will be seen that these rates arc computed 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 ads. 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 DATLY NEWS has no dead space, Every line counts. We want our advertising to be netos in itself, and hence worth five times to the advertiser which it would be if concealed in "fill up" rubbish. We believe 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 practf* cally dead t^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 regards advertising, of the large cities can be just as well adapted to the smaller ones, and such an innovation would grow in popularity a$ it became thoroughly understood. y•

Hie Cincinnati Commercial says the way a verdict of $959was obtained against that paper the other day was the "sureshot style—this is each juryman market! what be considered to be the right amount and the aggregate was divided by 12, a ^rbikiden by the laws of Ohio.
