Hon. John T. Dye, attorney of the I. &8t. L. R.R., is in the city. "H, S Judge Patterson returned home from Sullivan yes\erday afternoon.

Conductor Curtis Paddock, who has been visiting in Texas, has returned. Mr. Harry Dodson, junk dealer on south Second street, who has been visiting in Kansas and Missouri the past five weeks, returned to his home last evening.

The first meeting of the Philomathian Society met in the Normal Hall last evening. A largtvimmber were in attendance, and a very social time was enjoyed. The exercises of the evening were all arranged from Long follow. Tho opening exercise was a song by the choir, 'The Psalm of Life," which was followed by roll call, in which the responses were quotations from Longfellow. This was followed by the election of officers, resulting as follows W. H. Cox. President S. B. McCracken, Vice-President Secretary, Miss Mary Hathaway Treasurer, Miss Buck Ser geant at-Arras, Mr. Farley. Tke next exercise was a solo by Mr. C. E. Hodgin, "The lUiny Day." As the public are well aware of Mr. H's. ability, it is useless to make comments. This was followed by a very able reseding of the biography of Longfellow, by Miss Monnicle. Thl* paper was well arranged, and the composition and delivery deserves a great deal of credit. Next the society was favored with an instrumental solo which was well rendered by Miss Curtis.

The D»y is Done,* wa* next retdby Miss Gamble. The recitation, "The Wreck of the Helpers/' was next delivemi by Prof. C&hart of the ability of this gentleman the publta is well aware, and persons who were present considered this the most able effort the Professor has made before the soctettas. "The Bridge,"* was then sting by Miss Long, who was accompanied by Miss Hathaway.

These societies are very beneficial and should be well attended. The next meeting takes place two weeks from last night at which time an interesting programme will be rendered.

AT ABMOBY HALL.

The following is a list of the Tableaux exhibited at the Carnival yesterday even ing:

Don Quixote fighting the Wind Mill. Statue of the Prince Charmer. Players Scene from Hamlet. Court of Fairies. Rodger's Group, the Village Postoffice Court of Cleopatra. Trial Scene in the Merchant of Venice, and the Little Old Woman.

As the curtain was descending after the exhibition of the Trial Scene in the Merchant of Venice, the roller, which was not very well guided by the stage m&na get, lodged upon the shoulder of one of the cbaractcrs, giving an amusing effect to the scene.

The most comical tableau of the evening was that of ihe "Little Old Woman, and so enthusiastic was the applause that the curtain was lifted three times before the audience was satisfied. This evening is the last opportunity that will be offered to witness the exhibition and all should take advantage.

The Courier.

In quite a lengthy and pungent article, to-day, shows up the Democratic party in this county in its true light, and after using the "cat-o-ninetails" in a very deserving manner, it proceeds to show its cussedness in the following

Let us now tnrn to the figures as shown by the record of bills allowed by the council. We have copied them as they stand on the City Clerks books.

Now divide $1 ,158.45 by two, the number of dollars paid per square, and we find the number of squares of advertising to

581. Multiply 581 squares by sev-enty-flve-rtbe number of cents per square we propose to do the advertising for—and we nste result f435.75. Underthe two dollar system the city has paid for its advertising f1,168.45 under our proposition it would only have paid $485.75. Let us see the saving now, 581 squares—and a fraction at $300 $1,163 at 75c 4»75

Saving to City under Courier proposition $787 70

Now. these arc the figures. TheV speak for thcmselve. They nfced no embellishment. The city is paying, out the people's money from seven hundred to a thousand dollars a year more for the city's advertising then it ought too or need too. Last year was a fair average year in the way of public advertising and clan be taken as a fair criterion for tne future.

In a few weeks, now, the people will be called on to select six new members of council. Let them see well to it that no man is given a seat in that council who will needlessly squander the people's money as this present Democratic council has done.

Go for 'em, John, /l^e have got 'em on tho hip, Tho good people of the city of Terre Haute will no longer stand idly by and let each other be fobbed. Let every good citizen weigh well this matter and well. If we are robbed out of $727.70 in the broad gaze of the public, what's the condition of affairs behind the scenes.

Death of J. A. ModesiU.

Last evening at o'clock, As. A. Modesitt died at his country residence near Cloverland. ten miles east of the city. He was an active and honorable member of the Congregational Church, also a very active and useful member of the G. A. R., having the confidence and esteem of his comrades to the extent that they become to look upon him as their example to follow.

Stricken down so suddenly it may be truly said he di&d at his post. Mr. Modesitt born In Terre Haute in 1822, having always lived in or near the city. Shortly after the breaking out of fife war for the perpetuity or the destruction of the Government, he entered the army as Commissary Setgvant of Co. "C," 85th Ind. Infantry, and served until honorably discharged. He will be buried by the G. A- but at what time can not yet he determined in consequence of a portion of hit relatives Hying in distant States. Hi* remains were brought in this morning at 10 o'clock, and were met at the depot by a number of hut comrade# who escorted his remains to his sister's reaideaoe, Mrs. Chaoncey Warren, south 6th street, from where he will be buried.

PEOF. C. W. HODOEST'S

LECTURE OS UNITED §TATES HISTORY.

A very fair audience assembled at the Baptist Church, last night, to hear the last lecture in the course which Prof. C. W. Hodgin has been delivering on United States History. The Professor announced as his subject the development of the causes which lead to the civil war. He begged the audience to excuse anything in his remarks that would indicate partiality, as he wished to be free from prejudice. He Ijegan his discussion of the sub ject by explaining the division of the people into two parties at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, and compared the Constitution of the United States with the unwritten constitution of England. He stated that the idea of com promise was very prominent in the Constitution of the UnitedSlates, and that the Government itself is a compromise. He says the responsibility which rested upon the first Congress was very great, having as it did to organize a new government, and that one of the first duties in that direction was the raising of money for the support of the new organization, for which purpose Alexander Hamillon was appointed to draw up a plan, which he did, and presented at the next meeting. As every person who has studied history is acquainted with the nature of this plan we will not give the points which it introduced. He gave as the first great link in the chain of causos of the late war, the insurrection in western Pennsylvania, which arose out of the refusal of the distillers of that section of the country to pay the duties imposed on distilled liquors and gave, as the ground of the rebellion, the clause in the constitution which provides for the uniformity of duties. Another indirect cause was the favoritism shown to foreign nations, the North favoring France and the South favoring England.

The disagreement, says the lecturer, between the North and South, began to show itself at the beginning of tho Government provided for under the constitution.

The invention of the cotton gin was also instrumental in widening the chasm between the Northern and Southern States, ir what way is well known to the average historical student. This brings us to the great question whiqji was the prime cause of the war i. e. slavery and as instruments under this head the Professor named and explained the nature of the Missouri Compromise, the Kansas and Nebraska bill and the Omnibus bill. The lecture was qnitc interesting and certainly instructive. The public regret exceedingly the closing of this course of lecturcs and will await with eagerness the lecture which the gentleman has consented to deliver at some future time upon the Under ground Railroad.

SfcKEEX ECHOES.

The Terre Haute News Is out for W.' R. Mr Keen for Governor. There are few men in this state who possess greater executive ability than Mr McKeen. He has taken a deep interest in politics, and while not being, in the strictest sense of the word a politician, has been one of the leading stents of tte Republican party. He combines many elements of strength for a candidate, and if elected would make a most excellent Qorcraor.—Lo~
