AJTEE OITS WEEK.

Eight number* have been issued of the DAILY TKKRE HAUTE NKWS. The showing of its circulation up to last night is very satisfactory to its publishers. Our city list foots up 631 subscribers, with an upward tendency, guaranteeing the 1,000 we set our pins for within the first 80 days. The reception of the paper by the public is id! that we could possibly ask. How the enterprise of its publication, and the capacity its editor and publishers bring to their business, is re garded by parties best qualified to judge—the publishers of other newspa|ers—may be seen by the notices we have re printed. Possibly the readers of the DAII.Y NKWS may have I wen surfeited with these the reason for their ap}»eur anre in these columns is given in the sentence above. They certainly have been given unasked and are very gratifying to the parties most interested.

We shall use our best efforts day by day to improve the DAII.Y NKWS. While it in "a little one for" S-cents. or a dime a week, we want every purchaser to feel that his investment is a paying one.

THEY WANT IT "OPENED UP." In the Senate of the United States on Wednesday last. Mr. Vest, of Missouri, presented a petition of 5,000 inhabitants of Missouri, Kansas and Texas asking that the Indian Territory be "opened up for settlement." This means that there are about 5,000 out of the 8,000,000 of the three States who look with covetous eyes on the Indian lands •which the law now holds for the Indians themselves. And the Missouri Senator thinks the man a lunatic who thinks the Indian Territory can remain "a blank on the map of civilization." Lunatic indeed he must be. for that Terrltorj' has long since taken its place as a luminous spot on the map of civilization for the Indinn tribes who inhabit it. It is because of the herds and Hocks, and the vast crops of grain the Indians raise there, that the 5,000 petition ers gaze with avaricious eyes on that Ter ritory and want it "opened up."

SUOULD Col Thomas II. Nelson receive the Republican nomination for Congress, the best man in the Democratic party must be put forward to catch him. It will t»e no slouch of canvass, with the most gifted diplomat in the Republican party on the stump canvassing the district. He will be strong not only because of his abilities us an orator, but because of his residence here and his father's residence in Rockville for many years.—

Does the Gazette consider Senator O P. Davis the "best man in the Democratic party"? That he will le the Democratic candidate is a "foregone conclusion.' -I -I —t -'-.'Jf

THE DAILY NEWS, of Terre Haute, is a newsy little sheet, but it is not very well posted in the Bible. It heads one of its news columns with the declaration that it is prepared without regard to the seventh commandment. That commandment reads: "Thou shall not commit, etc."— l.ognnttpor% Journal.

The NK*I is posted—or it ought to be. Its editor has a recollection of spending a numlier of Sundays as Rob Ingersoll says he did. The point, however, in printing "seventh," instead of eighth, was to draw out some of our exchanges. We succeeded. ej«l -U.mjn.im i._

IT is both suggestive and significant that many thousands of people think it necessary to petition Congress to have the Government respect the "treaty rights" of Indians. The red men in this regard are in the same predicament as the yellow Chinese. But no one ever thinks of petitioning Congress to protect the "treaty rights" of the German, French or English in the United States. Is it liecause these last have powerful Governments to vindicate their rights, ami the rtrst have uot? .L.I—! Ll

THE present leap year may come to be known as the year of double holidays. Washington^ birthday, which foil on Sunday, was observed both on that day and on the following Monday, which, under the law, became legal holiday. Decoration Day and Fourth of July also f^on Sunday, giving opportunities for two consecutive days of celebration. Christmas, 1880. aud New Year's Day. 1881, falling on Saturday, there will be two consecutive days of rest in those weeks.

What the Covernineul Paid #90.30 to Find Out from NcCo«key.

Te/re Hanl Conrier Interview.

A Courierite met Mr McCoskey oh the street and applied the information pump, arid learned that he had been summoned to Washington through Judge Carlton, and it was from that gentleman begot his summons. He drew from the Government, for mileage and per diem, $90.30 while in Washington he stopped at the Ebbitt Hotel, and had a good time generally.

He says lie told the committee that there was no demand for laborers here that the supply was greater than the demand, and that the negroes were coining here under false representations. He said that personally he was opposed to their coming here, at all. He was asked if he believed Walker when he told him, as he asserts, that lie had arranged to run 10,000 negroes into the State. He said lie did not wouldn't believe him under oath. Then it cost the Government $90..'JO to get Me- 1 C'oskey to Washington to tell the committee a thing he himself didn't believe, or wouldn't believe, if Walker swore to it. The witness makes a very |oor, very lame defense of his trip to Washington and its results, and it will be many a day before he hears the last of it.

Monday we intervicved three colored North Carolina refugees with the following result

LEWIS TAYLOR.

I came here from Nash count}'. North Carolina. 1 was bred and born there in 184-1. Was a slave until 1805, when the victory of the National armies set me free. I rejoice greatly at being a free man, but I never was really free until I struck the State of Indiana. I have been in Indiana almost six weeks, and never enjoyed life so well before. This is the richest country I ever saw, and the most liberal people. It is a sad thing for a man to speak against his own home, but it is worse to hear a man speak against his country. I hereby testify that a colored man is not a free man in North Carolina. His privileges are restricted there. Indiana is the place to educate poor children. School houses are plenty, with good teachers, and the schools run from six to nine months each year, white and colored children going together the same, Wages are good here I am offered $ 19.50 a month, with house, garden-spot and milch cow free, my pay to be in cash instead of orders. They don't pay with orders on stores here. It has been said that the Republican party brought me here to vote the Republican ticket. It is false. I brought myself, paid my own fare, and no Republican has asked me to vote, or said anything to me about voting. I am living well, and am just as happy in Indiana as a jackfish in Roanoke brook, Ireland. SIIKI'HKHD HOOKS—WRITTEN BY HIMSELF.

Sir—I came here to this place, Nov. 22, 1879, and am very well satisfied. I am treated well, and am doing well. I am staying with W. M. C. Blake & Son, and I can say, beyond all unreasonable doubts, that I have been treated by them just as well as I could be treated anywhere, aud I can say again that the treatment that I have had since I liave been in this country is better than any treatment I ever had before. I am treated so well in this country by white people that I want all of my frienus in North Carolina to come to the Northern and Western States, where they can be thought something of by white' people. Ana I can say again I have been very sick since I have been out here, and Mr Georee Blake, and Mr W. M. C. Blake and family, tended to me and waited on me just the same as if I had been one of their own children. They bought medicines for me. and never charged me anything for it at all. If I had been staying with a white man in North Carolina 1 would have had a great doctor bill to pay. Well, all I can say is, I expect to stay with them just as long as I can, and do all I can for them when they want me, because I feel as if it is my duty to do so. I say, come one. come all, of my color* and as many others as want to do so.

SHEPHERD HOOKS, late of N. 0. WILLIAM HILL. J, I came at the same time with Lewis Taylor. Paid my own way. I came here to better my condition. Nothing was ever said to me about vot ing. I am living with James Torr, four miles west of Greeneastle. He pays $12 a month in cash and board. I am treated about the house the name as though I was a white hereon. There seems to be no difference lere because of color. No man attempts to control me in what say, and when I write back to my people I write the truth. Indiana is a good place for colored people and I want all my friends to come.

Order *o 1, from Department of Indiana. HEADQUARTER* DEPT. OF INDIANA, GRAND ARMY OP THE REPUBLIC, J-

TERKE HAUTE, Feb. 27, 1880.

GENERAL ORDER, NO. 1. I. Having beett-elected Commander by the First Annua) Encampment of this Department, in its session assembled at Greeneastle, January 29. 1880, the undersigned has entered upon the duties of that or.ee.

II. In undertaking the trust with which his comrades so fraternally honor him, the Commander desires sineerelj' to thank them. He assures them that whatever ability or energy have been given him. or that he can call to his assistance from Oth-

er comrades,"shall be used to maintain the prosperity of our Order, and to increase its membership, influence and usefulness. It is hoped that any deficiencies of the Commander in that respect can be partially overcome by the prudent zeal and painstaking industry he shall endeavor to exercise for the good of the Order, so that it, may be extended throughout this State,

The Grand Army of the Republic

III. Surely no Union soldier should hesitate to enroll his name, and adhere to an organization as a comrade along with such names as Generals' Grant, Sheridan,. Slocum, Steedman, Schofleld, Burnside, Hartranft, Hawley, Barnum, Sickles, McCook, Robinson, Butler, Logan, and many others of National reputation, who are numbered in our membership. To our fellow soldiers without our lines we extend a qordial invitation to join Us, and where no Posts are established to organize them without delay. Once with us, they will not regret the step. The Order is stroug in numbers, character and influence throughout most States, and has many thousands in its ranks. Comrades, when visiting Eastern cities, should, when practicable, attend meetings of the Posts there located, and witness themselves that our Order is of the interest and importance we claim for it.

IV. The proper observance of Memorial Day should be under the direction of the Grand Army of the Republic, with whom it originated, wherever practicable. For the first time will there be any such general observance throughout this State, in the coming May hence the necessity of earlier preliminary action by all Posts and comrades to obtain the necessary Records, printed Memorial Service Cards, and to make other preparations. The collection of names, military history, and locating graves, which are essential for the proper exemplification of our beautiful Memorial Service on that day, is a duty not- easily accomplished on short notice. The information can only be obtained by Post officers and comrades making carerul inquiry, and when it is obtained, should be noted and afterwards recorded in blank books which Posts should provide for that purpose.

V. "To perpetuate the memory and history of the aead" soldiers is among the first objects declared in the fundamental laws of the G. A. R. All Posts and Comrades should interest themselves and consider it a special duty of our Order to ascertain the name, rank, company* regiment, date of aeath, and location of every soldier whose grave is unmarked. When any such information is obtained, it should be sent to the Quartermaster General, U. S. A., at Washington (or to Post Adjutants, for transmission), so that the Government can have furnished the marble head-stones required for all unmarked tiion soldiers'graves. Blank forms upon which to write such information are supplied on application to that officer.

VI. Posts in this Department are reminded that the National Encampment-of the G. A. R. will be assembled at the National Soldiers' Home, Dayton, O., in June, 1880. There may be expecled one of the largest assemblages of veterans from all the States since the war. Posts should consider appropriate preparations for attending, if practicable. The Home, together with its several thousand inmates, themselves, are well worthy a visit.

VII. By action of the National Encamp went of the G. A. R. and Paragraph VIu. of General Orders No. 6, dated December 16, 1879, from G. A. R. Headquarters, it is made the duty of all Posts to forward to their Representatives and Senators in Con gress. separate petitions asking that pensions of the widows of deceased Union soldiers be increased to $15 per month.

VIM. The Immediate attention of jmrtment and Post officers is called to General Orders No. 5, of 1879, (paragraphs 3 and 5). from National Headquarters of the G. A. R, with reference to their duty in procuring and fanuliariting themaelves with the new "Instructions for Master-in Sarrice," the unwritten work of the Order, and with the "Manual for the Guidance of the Grand Amy of the Republic." If officers attend to this duty, comrades

is a

name, the influence of which has attracted many of the distinguished and best men of the Nation, and thousands of them have enrolled their names in its membership, or are seeking to do so. This is because our comrades all over the land "without regard to former rank or part}' affiliations, now that the hardships, toils and dangers of our soldier life are over and the memories alone remain, desire to preserve those memories, an ever-living influence for good because they dispel all feelings of selfishness for the nobler emotions of real, faithful regard for each other, and that generous purpose to defend and watch over the hf lpless and afflicted of our members and those our fallen comrades have left to our care. It is because our Order is National and patriotic in its character, and permits no political, sectarian or personal misuses of its sacred principles and objects.

will take far more int^wst in their Post meetings, and they will be conducted with fewer errors than heretofore .M

DL Codarades, the|Com!toandc#wpon whom you havkconf^ed tSe trujtfmtetnally asks the titled rtPistanf# of Department and Post officers and other Comrades in the work before usC Wliere it seems needfel he desii?e§ [your frdviee or suggestions upon ^ttmJK0a||^pg^th(^. welfare of our Order and Department. This being a new Department it is difficult, within reasonable limits of an order to call attention to details of necessary work. It is hoped that the intelligence ami deep interest of our comrades will suggest to them what detailed action uppiv- ^'"ous measures is at once needful.

X. The Commander refers with pitval ure to the generous administration of his predecessor. Commander J. B.'Hagcr, the first Commander of the Department of Indiana. His liberality in organizing and forwarding the interest of thi* department with little regard for personal expenses, deserves the grateful acknowledgement of his comrades.

XI. In behalf of this Department the Commander desires to thank the comrades of Post No. 11 and othercit-izens of Greeneastle, for their generous entertainment and hospitalities extended to the members of the Department Encampment and our invited guests, on the occasion of its meeting in that city on the 29th ult

XII. Comrade Daniel Macauley is hereby appointed Assistant Adjutant-General of the Department, knowing that in him we shall have most able and faithful assistance in the interest of our order.

A full knowledge of the records and business, and clerical work pertaining to the Assistant Adjutant General's office cannot be attained or performed without expenditure of much time and labor. Comrade Jay Cummings. beini^ familiar with the duties of that office of the Department as at present, organized, is hereby detailed to the immediate charge of the office of Acting Assistant AdjutantGeneral, under the dircc(jmsof the Commander and Assistant Adjutant -General.

XIII. Terre Haute being centrally located, containing within its limits, and in near vicinity, two-thirds or more of the membership of the Department, and with facilities for quick communication with Posts as now organized, is continued the location of official headquarters. Should our organized territory become so extended as to make it necessary for greater convenience and Department interests,' the headquarters can, at a future time, be established elsewhere in the State.

Comrade Jay Cummings having tendered his resignation as Assistant Adjutant General, is hereby appointed Chief Mus tering Officer.

S. E. ARMSTRONG, Commander. DANIEL MACAULEY, A. A. G.

8»-The notice below hits been printed for several weeks past in the city papers, but the responses have not, been so numerous as the committee hoped. They desire to make the list as near complete as possible by the 80th of May, Grand Army Memorial Day: To the Relatives ami Friemls of lieail soldier*.

One of the primary objects of the Grand Army of the Republic is to perpetuate th memory and history of dead comrades— those who died in the service, as well ns those since the close of the rebellion. To carry out this provision of the association, it is desired by Morton Post, No. 1, of Terre Haute, to have a complete record of the military history of all who may be buried in the vicinity of this city, and particularly those in the city cemetery. The undersigned have been appointed the Post a committee to compile and pre-

fiare

such record, and we desire it to be as ull aad correct as possible, as it is designed for preservation as a permanent record. We, therefore, call on the relatives and friends of any soldier buried in this city to furnish us the following information: Name in full where born age at time of death branch of service, as infantry, cavalry, artillery—company and regiment rank date and manner of death —if killed in action, give name of battle if wounded in service, when and where and any other information of interest as regards the soldier's military history. If convenient give the section and number of lot where buried in the city cemetery which will aid us in designating the grave by number on a map of the cemetery, so that our memorial day decoration service

can be properly performed. It is to lx hoped that this call will be responded to.» The men of 1861-5 are rapidly passing away, and we, their survivors, can honbr their memory by preserving a record of their services. The military history of every member of our organization is a part of the record of each post, and we want to add that of our comrades who "went before." The information asked for can be given in person to either of the committee, or sent through the mail.
