Political Meet

INK

The meeting at New Goshen, was quito a success. Speeches were made by Linus Burnett, I. N. Pierce, Fred Lee, Jackson Stepp and others. The people of Fayette seem to be wide awake and will do their duty this fall to a man.

Krlcctlc society.

Society hall was crowded last night to hear the rendition of a Shakcsperian programme.

The choir opened the entertainment with an anthetn, after which a sketch of Shakespeare was read by Miss Jornan in a very commendable manner, which was followed byj'ilamlet's soliloquy" by Mr. Rosenberry. This gentleman has a very tine voice for this character of exercise and he displayed his ability to good advantage.

Miss Curtis next favored the society with an instrumental selection "Hamlet's advice to the players" by Miss Paris. This lady showed ease and self-possession in her delivery, and seemed to have the thought of the selection. Miss Lawrence recited in a rather artistic manner the "Seven Ages of Man." The last exercise, "Popular Quofations from Shakespeare" was not given, as the performer was absent.

The entertainment last evening was not so long as to be tiresome, and was enjoyed by the audience. The performers, without an exception were familiar with their work, and everything passed of pleasantly.

—Editors are generally patient and enduring, and among the many thing which they have to contend with is that of poor ly written manuscript. Max Adeler gives one case where a poet said: "Lying by a weeping willow.

Decoration.

If there is anything that should stir the soul of man and prompt him to action, it is when an occasion offers an opportunity for him to manifest his love for the memory of the heroes, who died on the battle field for the enhancement of the cause of liberty and the freedom of the country from the enthralldom of One of the most contaminating institutions ever organized in a civilized country.

Anything that a man can do to express his feeling of affectionate memory should bestired into action by the rememberance of those of his fellow men who faced the muzzles of the enemy's engines of death, and amidst the "storms of shot and shell," sacrificed their lives for the purpose of keeping inviolate the union, provided for in the instrument adopted by our forefathers, who secured our liberty by their heroism and love of freedom.

Next Saturday has been the day set apart for the recognition of their good work, the regular day, (tho 80th,) falling on Sunday. All true citizens of the Union should do all in their power to make this occasion of demonstrating the feeling we hold towards those who lost their lives in securing our present condition, one of the most important on the records of our history. Let it be said that Terre Haute is not decreasing in her interest in this direction. jj From the Daily New*. "Im off for 'baby mines.' "—HeMng. "O!would that I were dead!"—Andy Shu man. "No more somersaults for me, for I never land on my feet."—Mr. MediU. "Cotton and calico bolts for me hereafter—I mean in this life."—Charley Far mil. '"I die that Grant mav live.

THE New York Herald is wonderfully interested in writing down the colored cadet whose ears were cropped at West Point. Every particle of evidence that can be twisted and distorted into a plea against him is seized upon and gloried over. The sharp twists of insolent attorneys «is they brow beat and bully the boy are held up as models of smartness, and during the whole investigation there has been as much onesidedness as if the Herald was a paid attorney, whoso fees came only upon conviction. Had tho young cadet been the son of some white man of the city of New York, instead of a poor black boy, there is a possibility that the Herald might have risen to a sense of fairness, instead of attempting to forestall the decision. Whether Cadet Whittaker mutilated himself, or whether the youthful young peace makers who are being educated there did it for him, things have been shown un during the tri wholly discreditable to tnc institution Inter* Octan.

This Whittaker business is Incoming very monotonous. The people of the United States can never he duped into the idea that Whittaker mutilated himself, and they will always believe that ttffe authorities at West Point have tried, by every possible means, to cover up the track of the guilty parties

MOONSHINERS IN CRAWFORD COUNTY—WASHOUT AT SULLIVAN.

HEAVY RAINS.

VINCKNNKS, IND., May 81.—The hardest rain that has visited this section for many a year fell last night and to-day. The creeks are terribly swollen, and incalculable damage has been done to growing wheat. Fences and bridges are gone and railroad embankments arc miss ing.

The Evansville and Terre Haute lost eight}- feet of embankment three miles below town. Passenger trains, transfer, and freights have stopped. The same road has also a big washout above town

The Indianapolis and Vincennes road has lost abridge in sight of town, besides large portions of the embankment.

A small bridge on the Ohio and Missis sippi road was washed away east of town, but at nine o'clock trains are running.

SULLIVAN, IND., May 21.—A heavy rain prevailed to-day. The Evansville and Ter re Haute railroad was washed out in two places, so there will lve no train through to-night The Wabash river is very high. lluNTtSGTON, IND.. May 21.—Heuvy rains fell all day to-day, causing a great overflow of Flint Creek, running through this town and doing considerable damage to property. The railroad track is covered with water for a distance of several hundred yards. Culverts are in danger. A building occupied by hardware and clothing stores is without a roof, the work men being engaged in putting on a newone when the storm came. The stocks arc considerably damaged.

LEAVENWORTH, May 21.—The longcontinued efforts of the government revenue officials to discover tho moonshiners who aro known to have been carryying on their unlawful business in Crawford County for a year or two. are likely to succeed at last. Discoveries have been made in the last week that are sure to lead to the arrest of the guilty parties engaged in illicit distilling. The hills of the county, almost moun tainous in height, and Hanked with deep gorges, have afforded excellent hiding places for the moonshiners and their illegal liusiness, quite as good as are to bo found in the moonshine regions of Kentuck}'. The recent investigation of these Crawford County moonshine cases before the United States grand jury at Indianapolis, gave the key to tho true inwardness of the "shiners" and their plans operation. There will be a number of arrests made and the business broken up speedily and effectually.

FOKTWATNK, May 22.—The preliml nary examination of Charles Comiskcy the lad sixteen years of age, charged with murder, concluded to day. Coniis key was committed to jail to await the Grand Jury. The proceedings were deep ly interesting. The evidence showed that the two Melllngcr children, a boy of six and a girl of three, were playing to gethcr in a small shed, which they had to pass through on their hands and knees. Young Comiskey, saw them go into the shed and deliberately set fire to it in several places. The shed, being dry and inflam mable, quickly burst into flames. The two imprisoned children rushed for the small opening. The boy crawled through and then tried tf) help his little sister out. but the latter, overcome by the smoko and heat, could not move. Three times did the little hero try rescue her, but without avail. The boy was badly burned, and his little sister perished in the flames. It seems to have been an act of deliberate malice and wantonness on the part of Comiskey.

The Pnnnit of Victoria'* Band. Tuo»os, ARIZONA. May 21.—A dispatch from Captains Tupper and Kramer states that tlicy run Victoria's band into NewMexico. captured twenty horses, parted within five thiles of the head of General Hatch's command and followed the trail beyond the line toward the Rio Grande. General Hatch's troops were placed on the trail, the Arizona troops having exhausted their rations, breaking down many of thefr horses, the Indiana being now in Gen. Hatch's department, and are now going toward the Mescmbro Agency.
