Parl°r"i »n the—jail,

take particular pleastjre in ejaculating Ibe^e three little words. Ii hot- We know it's hot—fearfully, awfully, scorch inglv, glaringly, oppressively hot. The thermometer delights iu elevating its head among the nineties. The hot air dances upon the roofs and pavements, and lies quivering in sluggish masses on the streets. All animated nature swelters, sweats and faints under the vertical rays of the sun, and with upturned glance at the heavens of brass, prays for the return of cooling breezes and refreshing shower:

The idea tha^ anyone but a salamander could draw poetical inspiration fiuui the heat seems absurd, but some Bohemian has accomplished it and let ofl his charge the following ode. Oh for a lodge in a garden of cucumbers!

Oh for au iceberg or two at control! Oh lor a vale which at midday the dew cumbers!

Oh for a pleasure-trip up to the Pole I

Oh for a little one-story thermometer, With nothing but Zeros all ranged in a row Oh for a big, double-barrelled hygrometer.

To measure this moisture that rolls truui my brow!

Uh that this cold world were twenty times colder! (That's irony red hot it seemeth to me.) Oh lor a turn of its dreaded cold shoulder.

Oh what a comtort an ague would be!

Oh for a grotto to typify heaven. Scooped in the rock under cataract vast. Oh for a winter of discontent even

Oh for wet blankets judiciously cast!

Oh for a soda-fount spouting up boldly From everx hot lamp-post against the hot sky 1 Oh for proud maiden to look on me coldly

Freezing my soul with a glance of her eye!

Then oh for a draught f.om a cup of "cold pizenl" And oh for a resting place in the cold grave! Wilh a bath in the fityx. where the thick shadow lies on

And deepens the chill of its dark-running wave!

Still another bard gets off the following melancholy strain. It is to be hoped that in this case the generous offer of the petitioner of unlimited consideration will be accepted by the clerk of the weather, and that the despairing prediction of the perspiring poet will not, in consequence, be fulfilled: 'jhe dorg days are upon us: vi 't

GATHERING!

Thr QUI Fires Rekindled!

ACCORDING to the announcement in our last issue, Senator Morton, accompanied by Mrs. Morton and a number of personal friends, arrived on the 2:40 r. M. train from Indianapolis yesterday. The Senator and his party were met at the depot by the Committee on Reception and many citizens in carriages and on loot. After cordial greetings had bec-n exchanged, an impromptu procession wa« formed headed by Professor Toot' excel lent band, and marched to the Terre

Haute House where rooms had been engaged for the Senator and party. Dur ^the afternoon several hundred citizens called to pay their respects to the distinguished guest.

Excursion trains on the two eastern road's and regular trains on all theother lines of railway, brought in large delegations attracted by a desire to hear one whose singularly happy fortune it has been to auspiciously inaugurate several hard-fought and successful campaign-

Ainong the gentlemen present were IIis Excellency, Governor Conrad Baker Hon. Max K. A Hoffman, Secretary of Stale, Col. J. B. Black, Reporter of the Supreme Court, and General Ben. Spoon er, I'niied States Marshal for the Distric of Indiana, (ieneral G. K.Steele, of Rock villo, Major John G. Evans, Auditor of State, S. Coupon, E-»q., of Sullivan, and ni.inv other- who-e name^we ha\c n*»t at hand .s.lii'i

The pies- was lepresented by E. Halloid, C. W. Stagg, J. II. Woodward J. T. l*n« all of the Indianapolis Jour ml W. II. Drapier, of the Indianapoli Stntinel and Cincinnati Enquirer E. Hall, of the Cincinnati (JazetU J. Pans born, of the New \ork Tribune M. Brown, of the Sullivan Union and J. Gray, of the Brazil Miner.

At about eii?ht o'clock, amid the loud booming of an artillery salute, and tfle cheerful notes of the band, Gov. Morton and otfcer distinguished guests took carriages and were e-corted from the Terre Haute House down.Main stitet to the Wigwam, Before their arrival the building was tilled, and when the procession had crowded in, every inch of sitting and tanding room was occupied, and hundreds were standing outside holding 11111rella.« to protect tlieiu from the rain that wa3 falling rapidly. The Band played a prelude, the sound of which mingled with the pattering of rain upon the immense roof, had a mo.-t pleasing efleet. On the stand with the Senator were the Governor and Officers of State, with many prominent citizens of this and surrounding towns, and the members of the press above named, as well as representatives of the press of Terre Haute.

Linus A. Burnett, Esq., Chairman of the Republican Executive Committee, introduced the Senato.-, who was received with the most hearty enthusiasm and spoke as follows:

SENATOR MORTON'S SPEECH. Ladies and Gentlemen I have recently returned from Washington, much exhausted by a long and laborious session of Congress and in feeble health, as you all know, and have suffered much from the extremely hot weather, and I do not know whether I shall have strength sulticient to speak to you very long to-night, but I shall ask your indulgence

I shall begin what I have to say tonight by congratulating this large audience and the country upon the general condition of prosperity that prevails throughout our land. 1 think I can say with perfect truth that there never wn* lxfore, since our government was formed, a condition of such universal pro-uerity a= prevails this day. Every condition of society is prosperoas. There never was a time when labor was better rewarded than it is now when the wage- of labor would purchase more of the necessaries and the luxuries of life than now. There never was a time when labor was sc, honoi ed a- it i- now, and so universally recognized as the foundation of our national ih and prosperity, and a- it is with labor, so it is with every department of the bodv politic. The mechanics, the merchant, the manufacturer, the professional man, the capitalist, all, to speak general terms, aro now flourishing: are now growing as they have never done before.

And as it is with Terre Haute, it is in Indianapolis and almost every town in Indiana, and as it is in Indiana, it is throughout all our country. Now. yi course, there are some persons who aie iu embarrassed circumstances and there alwavs will be. There are tho-e who are always in debt, and there always will be.

We have had trouble with otit contency, growing out of the war, a strange, unnatural condition of things bnt now it getting back to a solid foundation. When ashcfft time ago it was worth only

cents cfi thie dollar, then

It is a great thing to have our finances on a solid foundation. There are politicians in this country who tell us that the worst thing that could happenSronld be to return to specie payment, and that the best thing that could bapjien would be for the currency to be worth bat 0 cents on the dollar. Tbat,^ a fal j.hilMophy The people are always made better whenever the money for circulation among^ them is brought up and made equal to the old dollar, and it ha: Ixyn so throughout the world. My friends, that is w*hat we desire. We are goinsr to do it in defiance of speculators. "^\e are going to settle this business, and we are making progress faster than any ot us had a right to expect.

We have escaped from the war. Some live vears ago a terrible civil war, that desolated this land, ended, and now the marks of war have almost gon.e from the land—not from our memories. Those of you who lost sons and brothers, lathers and husbands, caunot forget that, [A voice—"No indeed."] you cannot lorget the men who made that war. [\oice, "That's so." and applause.] You can never forget the politicians that forced that war upon this country. But I ain speaking of the material ravages of war, they are fast disapjiearirtg, and with the destruction of human slavery, with the establishment ot human bisi-s ol justice and libertv to all, we are advancing in wealth and material prosperity as we never did before. We can forgive, but we never can forget, an.l in a great many instance1 we have no right to forgive those jKjlit ician Nvlio inaugurated the late war.

Now, vou know that these things are not so. and there is no intelligent lady or gentleman here to-night, and I care not to what party they belong, who, if they will take into consideration the prosperous condition of this community, of this State aBd this nation, will not come to the conclusion that the people are more prosperous in this year, 1*70, than in any former period of^cwr national life

Perhaps no man in Indiana, and it may be in no othfr Northern State, is more responsible in bringing on the war than vour own distinguished representative, Mr. Voorhees. Why so?

But I l«. now intend to call

vour attention to one particular j«int upon wii'i. he expended ome ten twelve paire- of this jieerh arid that called: The (ireen Back question. Jn-t a few words in regard to gieen backs. tin the "jth of 1'ebrnary, IStVi, Con gre pas»el the fir't act authorizing the rsslic of the fust issue of legal tend notes, commonly called greenbacks. The =econd act pa^-ed in January, ISO" and the third and 1:1=1 act pa= ed March 1S0L Since tlien h:is been no act pa»«ed au ihorizing the i-~sue of grecnl«ack«.

Under these act* there were *ome four hundred millions

-4-7

greenbacks issued.

Twentv-four millions of these bonds were contracted and retired from circnlation bv Mr. McCulloch, Secretary of theTrea nir% during Mr. Johnson's administra tion leavinc in circnlation. a« there now are, three hundred and fifiyssiz miilioas of greenbacks. We al x» have, as yon all know, about three hundred million? of Natiooal bank notes based upon bonds and redeemable in greenbacks. Bnt 1 speak now of the Legal Tender notes issued lv the government. We have been trvine ever since the war to bring

•. -str-

sixty-eight

or seventy cents, and brought them np till now

we have got thein up to ninety-

two and expect, if nothing happens, to have them at par in the course of six months. Now, if we follow the Democratic idea of finances we will find onrs^ves jost where France was undersimilar circumstances. We ha»e always intended to bring currency down to par, and we shall succeed.'

Under the Great Loan Bill, as it is called, in 1864, under which the most of the bonds were issued now outstanding, it was provided that the whole number of *cc^nbacks should not, eKCeel four hundred mil Hons.'

That was the pledge given to the bondholders and ti those from whom we expected to borrow money under the tgreat LfOaniijll 0T1SC4, and it was then believed that the pledge was sufficient guarantee for all the money nccessai to be borrowed to carry on the war his guaranty was given. It is still nnrepeal ed and is standing nenv as it was before. That is my general statement in regard to the general conditions of the greenback

question. Now I come to Mr. Voorhees. Mr. Pendleton thought he bad made the discovery first, in 1S07, that he had found a way to pav the National debt without costing anybody anything: that is a very desirable thing, indeed. [Laughter.]

Rat since getting slaughtered in the Democratic convention in 1SG3, (you will remember it) he has abandoned the whole thing.

Now Mr. Voorhees takes it np, and wishes to make the jieople believe that this "great burden upon the people"can be removed that he has found a way, by expending a few thousand dollars in ink, paper and printing how ibis great burden of taxation can be stop|ed, and the National debt can be paid by simply putting the Democratic party in power. have heard of something like this before. 1 presume some of you have seen advertisements in the newspapers, if you would send a dollar tosome jiostoflice box in New .York, Poston or Philadelphia, that (hey would send "yon something in return-for it by which yon could make a Jarge fortune—become suddenly rich. Such advertisements are for the jiur|iose of catching greenhorn* and some of them bile at ttietu and fend their dollar. [Laughter.]

This game is called a "confidence game." Now, whenever a politician conies to vou and tells you he has toiind out a way to pay the national debt without costing anything, that is intended for a greenhorn, and nobody else. [Laugh ter.]

The national debt can only be iciid

When he came back to Indianapolis to make a speech and was charged with his inconsistencies he avowed his purpose to issue sixteen hunded millions new paper money for the purpose of paying off the sixteen hundred millions of bonds.

Now, my friends, what would be the effect of that'.' Tt would swindle the creditors out of what the Government owes them and would render a large amount of "the'currency of the country not worth the paper it is printed on.

This was Pendleton's plan, and he brought it forward and it slaughtered him in the Democratic Convention in 1S6S, as it ought to slaughter any man in favor of it. When he was a candidate for Governor in 1809, he abandoned it, and now Mr. Voorhees brings it forward in Indiana in 1S70.

Mr. Voorhees, after having slated his portion in Indianajiolis, in favor of the issue of this vast amount of currency to pav the national debt, he then said the unkindest thing about me he ever said. That I indorsed it. There is not a word of truth in the statement. I have always denounced the Pendleton theory lrom first to list, and Mr. Voorhees knows it.

The grounds I took in the Senate arc these that which I believe to be the law. I take the ground that the original greenbacks issued in 1SC2 and 1S6"—issued before the bonds were sold, and with which the bonds were bought by the people with these greenbacks, when it is provided that the government had the right to issue them for the redemption of the 5-20's.

Shortly after General Grant came into lower and it was decided that the government had the right to issue new greenbacks. After the bonds had been sold I denounced it then as I do now as being nothing but repudiation. [The speaker here read an extract from a speech delivered by himselt in the Senate, to be found in the Congressional lobe, second ses-ioii of the horty1'ourth Congress, which was too lengthy for us to give for want of time and sjiace.]

The above we give r.Mttini. We find, however, that we cannot put the entire tirue for issuing this and must defer the n-

Pearls and RuMes.—When

,kThe

tell

yon that it can lie paid without taxation

"and

without cost, it can only be called a confidence game." Mr. Vorhees made a speech at Indianapolis at the Democratic Convention on the Sth of January last, and in that speech he declared himself in favor of issuing enough new redeemable paper money to pay the 5-20 bonds, that there was but onlv fifteen hundred million of the 5-20 bonds and he propo=ed to issue that manv new greenbacks for the purpose ot paying them *1. He argued against taxation. "The people were ground dow by taxation,1' 'My friends, I will read an extract from his speech of January 5th. He says:—

I am sometimes charged with being good at tearing down the plans of others. Bear with me a few moments longer. We have now outstanding fifteen hundred millions of these 5-20 bonds, payable at the end of five and twenty years from the time they were issued. The five years have about expired and they are to be paid at any time in the next fifteen years.

My plan is to pay in one hundred millions this year and one hundred millions next year. As it were, sprinkle it all through the next fifteen years, i.suing currency to redeem it." A very easy way to pay off the fifteen hundred millions.

Shortly afterwards be made a speech in the House, in which speech his notions were so verv vague that it does not seem to make much difference whether the currency is one thousand millions or two thousand millions.

Home Insurance Co. of New York. Extracts from "American Exchange and Review.]

The Home Insurance Company of New York wrote in ISM upon $210,000,000 of lire hazards, about one-thirtieth of the lire insnrance business of the country. Its risks expiring in the year amounted to $1SS,7G5.S10, and $214.0o0.0tl were carried at the close of lSb'.b

Not only i* the Home the sole two million-dollar capital tire company in New York, but its gross :ur/lu alone ($2,510,30$) is larger than the total gross ui"*/', including capital, of any other New York lire insurance company.

To the administrative and executive authority of this company mu-t be accorded the credit of making the best of the lire situation, of seeing their way through the uncertainties ami impedimenta of the business to rational re nils. Willi clear ideas and keen intuitions, avoiding the avenues to bankruptcy which j-ermeate the lire insurance system, thev underwrite ujori the principle that fire insurance is.nothing it not jirofitable. The jKilicv bolder i--certainly safest with that company which makes the mo-t money. Its security is worth more than the security of any other company. In the present confusion, fire insurance can he promised at any price, but it '-an not be ecu red at a price below a paying point. An office doing a nonpaying busines-s is simply a cheat and delusion to the policy-holder. The Home Insurance Company practices no deception, and we believe it to be good for what it contracts to do. When il under?! ood thai nearly one-half of th', fire inmranrej- nnpaniez vhich hare been strirterl in the United StatF* hnrrfailed, this may seem like a bold faith to place in airrsnch imtitntion. Still,, the management of tbe Home inspires confidence, and we have given evidence that thejf are not working toward insolvency.'

The Home is represented in this city by Hoeford'and Boodinot, office cor- 4th and Main sts.Jr it 2-dlm.
