A NHW IDEA.

The Daily News Call Boxes and Messengers. To facilitate the collection of city news, as well as to place advertising pqtrons 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 Al till 2:00 by the Messenger Boys of the DAH.Y NEWS. These Boxes have been put up for the purpose of affording a plaee 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 yottr part. IIV insist on thin items not

Miyimt 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, us they can drop their favors therein, and thereby save walk to I he office.

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

He might probably do to run a gang of bootblacks, but not to manage the workings of a political party." If the Journal is correct, the Republican party may hok for some of the blunders of 1876.

A ReniliUftceiire.

Reading last night, the admirable letter of Col Thompson to Gen Grose, printed elsewhere, it occurred to the editor of the DAILY NEWS that he had in his possession a letter from Col T., remembered as con taming the handsomest tribute to the practical printer we ever read. Many will remember the excursion by the printers of Terre Haute to Perrysville. July 4, 1871. the- biggest thing of the kind this oily ever had. Col Thompson was the orator of the day, and as a sovenir of the occasion, the'Union, through a committee, presented him with a piece of silverware, appropriately inscribed. He acknowledged its reception as follows:

TKRUE HAUTE, July 24, 1871.

Gentlemen—I thank the Terre Haute Typographical Union, No. 70, for the beautiful and most acceptable present, which accompanied your kind and com plimentary note of the 19th inst. I shall prize it most highly, not merely because it will remind me of our pleasant excursion to Perrysville on the

4th

instant, but

because it associates my name with a society of working men, whose energies are directed to the public enlightenment, and whose members arc worthy of my highest consideration.

There is no profession more identified with intellectual progress and free thought than that of the practical printer. Every type he sets is a contribution to the cause of human advancement and a« each day he turns off the breathing and speaking news sheet, he not only builds a monument to his own industry, but swells the volume of popular intelligence, thereby adding strength and firmness to the foundations upon which all free institutions rest.

I am gratified to know, gentlemen, that amongst the members of this profession, there arc none more steadfast to its honor, or truer to its best interests, than those who compose your Union and I 1eg. through vou, to assure each of its members of my gratitude and personal esteem.

Very truly, &c., R.W.THOMPSON.

Messrs Frank Seaman, C. W. Brown, and S. K. Christy, Committee. -ii. S

The (^iwiuof ISM.

The following from the Ft. Wayne Sentinel, will apply, it seems to the DAILY NEWS, with equal force to Terre Haute. It is worthy the attention of the City Council:

As it is" not" probfible that the census takers appointed by the Government will make as careful and thorough an enumer ation as is possible, would it not IK- well for the city to have such an enumeration made in advance? If this was done in the same manner aa the Government directs, then by comparison, any mistakes or omissionA on the part of the Govenitnent officere could be corrected.

The difficulties in the wtff of making a complete census are many. Frequently facts are withheld from the officer, a* he is suspected of collecting data for taxation purposes again, information is often sought from women who are frightened and embarrassed, and, however well disposed. are unable to answer all the questions correctly and again, people are absent from their homes when the officer ca31s and in this way are frequently omitted altogether.

The Sentinel has no particular plan to suggest, but submits to the council wheth er it would not be wise to take some at tion in this important matter.
