THE decoration of soldiers graves was generally observed throughout the State.

WE have made arrangements to give to our readers special dispatches from the Chicago Convention up to 2:30 each day.

A TOIINADO visited Henry County, Ind., yesterday morning, and many houses and barns were blown down, and trees torn up by the roots. Fortunately no lives were lost.

THE Goss-liyan prize fight is still bruing. We want these men to fight. We intend to keep after them until they do fight. We want them to beat cach othor to douth.

AT the Sand Lots meeting, Saturday, Kearney said he would leave for Chicago to attend the Greenback Convention, and if the platform suited him he would stump the State. "ANYTHING to beat Grant" was the shout of the crowd at the Columbus depot last bight, as a special train for Chicago pulled out.—Cincinnati Commercial.

Yes: that is about the status of the antiGrant bruisers. Very fine language for a Republican.

THE Grant men will have a love feast this evening at Dearborn Park, Chicago. The speakers will be John A. Logan. Emory A. Storrs, Roscoe Conkling, Stewart L. Woodford and others. If tins won't be an accumulation of brains, where will you find them

It is against the expediency of nomina ting him that we object.—Express. According to the usage of words then the Express is for Grant. We arc sorry that we have so misunderstood the tone of that paper, and can see no reason why you should put your meaning in the form of an enigma..

IN the great fight for the presidential nomination, there is one thing which every Republican who has at heart the interests of his party should take into consideration, and that is who of the present candidates for the presidential nomination can carry the most of the Southern States, and around whom clusters the best political workers.

It is now time that all idle talk on this matter should cease. Our Republican brethren in the Southern States have fought some of the most famous battles in political history, and we should pay some heed to them in matters of such ifl-ave importance as these.

They declare by Uieir actions that Gen. Graut is their choice, and it is not policy for us to entirely ignore their wishes in this matter.

How do the figures stand in the North. The three great States, New York, Illipois and Pennsylvania give, him in Convention 170 votes. It cannot be possible that the Republican parly will ignore these three, great States by enacting a kind of jealous political policy.

The claims of the smaller States should be fully recogntxed and a harmonious feeling should exist throughout the entire delegation, and every delegate be ready to pledge himself to support the nominee with that spirit of success which should fill the heart of every Republican.

POLITICAL FEALTY.

Considerable uncalled-for solicitude is manifested by certain journalists hereof the Bepublican persuasion relative to the post^convention status of this paper, in view of its outspoken position on the third-term controversy. If our contemporaries alluded to will attend less to the af fairs of the Express and more to their own, they will in the long run make more money and have better health. The Ex press is of age is abie to take care of it self is neither deaf, dumb, blind, insane nor idiotic nor does it need a guardian or "boss." It has weathered serious political storms before, and is still staunch and seaworthy. It will exist many, many years hence, and may outlive its eflfcmies and detractors.—Express.

We don't know whether we are included in number or not. We know that there are many of our staunchest Republicans who are seriously objecting to the tone of the Express, and we feel in duty bound to do our best for the success of the Republican ticket."

As for making money, we are making all the money we want, and some to spare so much so, that we will increase the size of the NEWS after the Chicago Convention so that we will be better able to give the people one of the best daily papers in the state.

As for having better health we are will ing for the people of Terre Haute to judge between the editorial staff of the NEWS and the little "Buttercups" of the "Reduced Size." And, as for the political storms weathered by the Express we are willing to submit to the voice of the peo pie as they aro aware of the flip-flops of the Express during the last ten years, and know that its idiocy^ruined the Republican party in this county four years ago.

WE clip from the Inter Ocean a small part of an article entitled Grant and Blaine which for pith and point cannot be excelled:

Gen. Grant is one who came from the humble classes, whose only legacy was toil and struggle* One who with his own hands has learned to know the meaning of earning his bread by the sweat of his brow. One who, by natural endowment, by training, by education, and great experience, is best calculated to administer the affairs of men—the great, practical affairs of a "government of tl|£ people." One who can be, and vtfho ever lias been, invulnerable to effective calumny and slander. One who has lived through more unmerited obloquy and senseless and baseless detraction than any man who ever earned the plaudits of millions of his grateful countrymen. If ever a man earned the title of greatness !y needs of enduring renown, that man is" U. S. Grant. If ever a man demonstrated tho power and moral beauty of 6ilence, that man is U. S. Grant. If ever a man earned the fame of undying glorv on the field of battle, that man is U. 15. Grant, If ever a man has shown the invinciblc moral and physical courage in every conceivable form of trial to which a man could be subjected, that, man is U. S. Grant! If ever a mau attempted to speak in self defense and of use tho language of bitter resentment chose to be oblivious to what whold exasporato and drive to frantic self-assertion, an ordinary or weak man, that mnn it U. S. Grant! If ever a man gave a living example of the "genius of common sense in great a!l":iii—affecting the happiness ana prosperity of 40,000.000, of people, and who had "the sagacity, the tact, the foresight the cool, unyielding grit to pursue ,}lie right thing at the right time, that mati is pre-eminently U. S. Grant! The language of eulogy can hardly be used withjreference to|General Grant, becausehe stands so secure in the confidence, and even love of the people that it is unnecessary and fulsome to indulge in it. That he is the most "available" candidate for President in the coming struggle is because there is that sound indomitable quality of safety in his composition which is felt and known without referring to it and, because it needs no argument to prove that when any man is twice elected to such a position and retains any considerable following after wards, "it follows as the day, the night,'' there must be some great and pre-emi-nent qualities 'which distinguished him in OfHCe.

THE situation at Chicago for Grant grows brighter every minute, as will be seen from Chicago special editorial dispatches. The Grant leaders are cool and courageous, and represent some of the finest brains in the world. It seems that most of the autiGrant noise from Pennsylvania and New York has been wind, and that in truth there is no anti-Grant element there. Bets arc offered freely on Grant without, takers, and from the appearance of things, a conclusion will, perhaps, not be reached before the last of the week.

GEN. MILO HASKELL, the gentleman who Wont run for Auditor if Grant is nominfitxi as so tearfully spoken of in our "reduced size" on last Saturday morning. lives at Goshen, in thi3 State. The "General" is alleged to be a little vain of his rank. He keeps a hotel, and at the top of his register are found these cabalistic words: "GENERAL MILO S. HASKELL, Proprietor."

HOT SFBIHGS.

The Hot Springs correspondent of the Crawfordsville Journal

says:

"No better idea of the manner in which the town is platted can be given than t6 concentrate the mind on the shape xf a "dog's hind leg,"-broken in four places, and a pretty correct map of the place is arrived at.

"Whites and blacks and a dozen Chinese, in all numbering about six thousand, inhabit this place. Their principal occu pation and study is making money. The man who can "work" the most money out of visitors here and give the least returns for it, is the best man for Hot Springs. Their motto is: Visitors and seekers must be tcorked.' The- first idea a man should promulgate upon his arrival here is, that he has come to stay, to become a fixture, a permanent resident, because if they are convinced of this as a truth, he can buy anything he may need, at least twenty per cent, cheaper than ifhe were regarded as a visitor. Board and rooms may be had at the Arlington at from $17 to $25 per week. Baths and all necessary attention at bathing will cost from $6 to $10 per week."

It is strange that these springs should have anj- patronage at all when there are so many watering places that afford better water and the accommodations are so much better.

For instance, the magnetic artesian well of this city furnishes water infinitely more medicinal, and the comfort of visitors infinitely better than at Hot Springs. The bathing accommodations are much better, and if cheapness and economy are objects, we have only to point to our hotels and boarding houses to satisfy anyone that a course of treatment can be had at Terre Haute at less than one-third the cost at the Hot Springs.

SPEAKING of the Bradlaugh difficulty in England. The public Ledger says: 'There is another curious feature in the rules of the House of Commons existing since 1801. A clergyman in orders is as much ineligible to membership as Mr. Bradlaugh himself. It was not until 1870 that clergymen were even permitted to resign from the Church, but by a "Clerical Disabilities" act of that year the clergymen who executes a deed of relinquishment of his

Eeen

rofession may, six months after it has recorded, be accounted out of the ministry. Then he. becomes eligible for Parliament. If this seems odd it may also be stated that it is only since

I860

that ordained clergymen

by order of the Inns of Court, can be called to the bar. The old canon that forbade Deacons or Ministers to resign from the Church dates from 1608, and provides that

110

man having once been

admitted to the Church, "should voluntarily relinquish the same, nor after wards use himself in the course of his life as a layman, upon pain of excommunication." This is the canonical act of 1870, to undo,—but the State reason, of course, was that some jeal ous provision of parliamentary privileges that kept any one having relation to taxes, excise or tithes from membership of the Commons. On the passage of the Disabilities act, only some fity clergymen are stated to have resigned in the first three years, and since then, the number has'been so small as not to be noticed.

The Bradlaugh case gives rise to certain reflections, touching tlie whole ground of oaths. The solemn invocation in a court of justice, or the penalty for perjury, is supposed to make, and probably does, in most cases, a difference between a man's word and his sworn testimony. But there was the saloon keeper, Ryan, at West Poiut, who swore to please his customers, as he supposed, but whose testimony was overthrown directly by the cloud of young witnesses in gray, who swore to their own misdemeanors in visiting his drinking place. There are on record, the oaths of allegiance to the United States of those former graduates of West Point, as well as members of Congress and Cabinet officers, that were broken like tow, in 1861. The binding nature of an oath depends upon the character of the man, and a a prospective oath for life is a sharp test. It certainly adds a m09t imposing solf emnity to all occasions of accepting official trust, but Quaker John Bright, who swoars not all, has been as true a supporter of the realm as though he had taken the triple oath of Queen Anne's time. With some men the yea is enough.

TIIE funniest thing of the Campaign is the letter of Milo Hascall, of Indiana, declining to be a candidate for Auditor of Indiana if Grant shall be nominated. Let Hascall possess his soul in patience and fear not. There is no danger of his being nominated for Auditor of Indiana, whether Grant is or is not the candidate. In fact, the man who asserts in advance that if the majorit}- nominate a man he does not like, that he will rend his under garment and play the devil generallv, ought to be defeated for any office which he may seek at the hand of Republicans.—Inter Ocean.

O! no, not the funniest thing. The gentleman who wrote the article in the 'rcduccd si2c" is the funniest. Milo got enough of the NEWS a few days ago to satisfy him.

The theory lias been adopted by manj physiologists of lute ve^rs that the muatnifar system of a fully developed man, or other animal, in health, is merely a perfected mechanical npparatus which "iccomplishes work like machine, not .t the expense of its own substance—rclacing it by the assimilation of food— but using the food directly, converting it into force without transforming it into muscle. Dr. Flint, however, in a recent work, examines this theory, and gives the results of a series of observations by himself and others, having for their object to test its correctness. After the most careful

A gentleman in full dress—broadcloth coat, white gloves—bolted into a drug store pcecipiiately recently "Can you fix me, right off" he panted, "*a preparation of castcfr-oil that can be taken without anyone ever detecting the odor, or even suspecting that it's a medicine', and yet that will—you know, one that'll "I should say I could," said the druggist.

In five minutes the apothecary came out with a glass of pleasant looking liquid in his hand. "Monsieur," he said, with a smile, "while you are waiting, permit me to offer you a glass of lemonade." "Certainly, but hurry, please."

The customer drank the beverage hastily. Several minutes passed, when he growled impatiently. "Come, come, where is that preparation 7" „T "Monsieur," said the apothecary, I Am happy to observe that I have exactly met your desire. That preparation you have just taken, "without the shgutest suspicion of its character—" "Beast, villain! Ah—h 1 It wasn't for myself that I wanted it!
