President of the State Uni

versity of Missouri, visited the Kormal School on Monday—both forenoon and afternoon. The students listened with pleasure to a short address from the Dr. in the afternoon.

Dr. Nntt, President of the Indiana State University, also visited the .Normal School in the forenoon of the same day, and spoke few words ut ln-ti to the teachers assembled—now 140 in number. Both these distinguished educators were highly gratified with the condition and prospects of our noble institution.

J. li. BIWDY, a well known culored citizcn, met with a serious accident yesterday morning. He was in Prairie Creek township with a portable ingine and thresher, and was going to work at Mrs. Davi's place. The party running the machinery hitched horses to the seperator to draw it within the stock yard. The driver let go the rein3 to help the other men the horses sprang forward and in trying to stop them Mr. Bundy got run over, one wheel going over both his feet, breaking an ankle in two places besides injuring him otherwise very serverely.

Tin* Cmnpalgn in Parke. ROCKVII.I.E, IND., July 26,1870. The campaign was opened in Parke county last night in a manner which shows that the Republican party is wide awake and "means business." Col. Trus ler, Republican candidate for Attorney General, has been announced for a speech hear, and from 4 until 7 music and the firing of cannon told that the appointed evening had come, and that the people were anxious to meet him. When the hour for speaking arrived the Court House was crowded, and Col. Trusler being introduced, proceeded to deliver an address of near two hours, which was listened to with the utmost attention and enthusiasm. ..

The Speaker said that there were two parties asking to be pHt in power, and it was for the people to judge them by their merits, and select the one with the best record. Discussion invites thought and when the people think they always act right. He then alluded to the greenback question, showing why they were issued, how they were decried by the Democracy as worthless, and how they were made good by the bravery of the "boys in blue" and the integrity of the Bepublican party. He showed the disastrous effects of issuing $1,500,000 in new green backs, demonstrating clearly that it would be financial ruin, a violation of a sacred contract to issue but four hundred millton, in fact a repudiating swindle. He believed the greenbacks now outstanding area legal tender for the 5-20 bonds, and as fast as they come into the treasury by taxation should be so applied.

He then gave a scathing review of the Democratic party in Indiana, showing up in a vivid light their many iniquities, including the swamp land and Brooklyn water lot swindles, their management of the State debt, increasing it largely in time of peace and with high taxation and the gold gambling of the President of the Sinking Fund. He showed that the enormous loss to the State by such gold gambling wn* finally recovered through the vigilance of the present Auditor of State. In national affairs the Democracy had left the .Treasury bankrupt in lSliO, borrowing money at 12 per cent, although they now howl #o loudly about per cent- Not only that, but they had bequeathed us a gigantic rebellion, backed up by their sympathies, ami had followed this up by opposing every measure for the good of the country which the Republicans have brought forward, even to voting against a reduction »f eighty millions taxation which was ordered bv the Con gress just adjourned. He then turned to the Republican party, showed how it has paid the State debt since 1862, and was fast paying the national debt. He dared any man to substantiate a charge of peculation or malfeasance in office against any State officer since the Republicans came into power, and gave a glowing eulogy of the administration of Governor Baker. He then contrasted the first sixteen months of Grant's administration with the la«t sixteen months of Johnson's, showing that while Johnson increased the national debt, Grant had reduced it $146,000 000 merely by honesty in the collection of the revenues and economy in expenditures. Heexplainedand endorsed the funding bill and Tariff laws just passed by Congress, and closed with an eloquent exhortation to all loyal men to stand by the (tarty that has saved the country.

The sp&cti abounded in happv hits and patriotic entiments and was loudly cheered throughout. May he come again.

Major Evans, Auditor of State, was then introduced, and gave a few telling facts in vindication of the Republican party, after which the meeting adjourned amid cheers for the speaker and enthusiasm fjrthe cause.

A LITERARY contemporary tkiaka one of the quickest ways^of malda* ji fcrtoae is to marry a fashionable ywiig lady and sell her clothes. The principal objection to this proceeding is, that the idler might get sold in the traaaactkm. There is no denying, however, that the qnickcgt way to spend a fortune is to marry a fashionable young lady and buy her clothes.

AN exchange laments that a mania—it can be expressed by no other word—for athletic sports has 'taken firm possession of the heart of Young America. Money and mind, his first idols, have both been sacrificed for muscle, until now the spectacle is presented of the leading college of the country possessing a base-ball club which travels around th^ country, An-drew-Johnson-like, wasting its time and energies in contests with men trained and paid for the purpose of ball-playing. Boat-racing has become as much a necessity at Yale and Harvard as at Oxford and Cambridge. Regattas between young ladies are also popular in certain locali« ties, and bid fair to become national. And this is called the dawn of the physical development of the American youth!

City Council.

The City Council met in regular session last evening. Present—His Honor, May* or Cookerly, presiding, and Councilmen Dowling, O'Connell, Scudder, Coats, Seeburger, Rockwell, Hager, Peddle and Forre.lt.

ACCOUNTS. 3* -J

The following bills were allowed: Hay ward & Ryan, Fans &1 30 Chm. Sleygh, Whitewash in

Mr. O'Connell replied, strongly favor of opening the street. Mr. Forrest was in favor of making haste slowly.

Mr. Dowling from the Committtee on Streets and Bridges announced that the committee was ready to report. If it was the will of the Council he would present the report this evening or he would defer the matter.

Mr. Forrest asked to read the law on the subject. Mr. Scudder moved to defer the matter until the next meeting.

The Mayor thought that at the next meeting the Council would be no nearer a solution of the matter than now.

Mr. Forrest read from the city charter the law bearing upon the subject, and stated the course the matter would take in case of an appeal." If it was for the benefit of the city, he was in favor of opening the street regardless of expense.

The question on Mr. Scndder's motion wa taken and lost by 3 ayes and 6 nays. Mr. Dowling, from the stieet committee then presented his report as follows:

To (ht May in and Cvmmon Council

The Committee on Streets and Bridges, to whom was referred the petition of S. H. Stone, John S. Beach, B. B. Booth, Lucius Kyce, P. Shannon, Geo. C. Duy, Wni. Puulj S. S. Karly, and sixty other citizens of Terre Haute, asking that Ohio street be opened over the tracks of the Evansville and Crawfordville Railroad, and that the same be put in order for travel, as other streets of the city, and also the remonstrance of John Ingle, Jr., C. Rote, W. K. Edwards, M" M. Hickcox, John A. Wood, and thirteen other citizens, against the opening, have had the same under consideration, and having visited the premises, now beg le ive to report.

The importance of uninterrupted travel over Ohio street, from east to west, can hot be too highly estimated. It has long been .regarded as one of the most beautiful st'reets of the city, and now begins to assume a bu.-tinesn character for which its location admirably adapts it. That so hi any property-owners, both east and west of the railroad, should'now unite in a petition for the complete .and thorough opening of said street, is not to be wondered at. It shows the progress of the

city, and the necessity of having its bor ders .enlarged. And it shows another thing. That is, the patient Self-denial of the citizens on the line of that street, wW,~for many years, have suffered the most serious inconveniences, rather than diktAfb whatever privileges the Evansville and Crawfordsville railroad possessed over Ohio street. These rights and privileges no one desires to disturb—certainly not this Council—except so far as all other property is subject to the growing demands of the city, if a street has to be opened or extended, and a house, a barn, or a handsome plat of ground stands in the way, the measure of damage it all that has to i*-considered, and the opening of the street goes an without let or hindersnce- This is what private individuals have to submit to. And thev submit to it because it is done under

...

!tiNI auction of law. Railroad incorporationa are in no way exempt from the operations of rales and laws. .Like -natural |$an{Mfe, their property is held subject ta thase equities which apply to all OtfMTB (jbotituting an incorporated city. Indeed these railroad corporations have less right to complain than private parties, "fhe 'city authorities have always been liberal towards them. Valuable rights and privileges have been granted, at their request, by ordinance and otherwise. And this has been' wisely done No one has complained, so far as we know. The Committee believe that the City Council* should never throw unnecessary embarrassment in the way of Railroad enterprises. They have done much for Terre Haute, and it is the duty of the Council to cherish and protect them in all their unquestionable rights.

REPORTS.

Mr. Hager, from Committee on Tax, reported in fuvor of remission of taxes asked bv Gib»on & Gordon, which was concurred in. The same committee re. p6rted adverse to the remission asked by I. L. Mahan and Mary F. Mahan. Laid cm the table until next meeting.

ORDINANCES.

The Mayor and City Attorney presented uu ordinance in relation to grading and graveling or paving sidewalks, which was passed.

An ordinance granting to the raUroad companies the right of way for the Wa: ter street railway. Referred to a special committee consisting of Seeburger, Coats and Peddle.

STATION HOUSE.

Mr. Seeburger announced that the plans and specifications for the station house were ready for. advertising and letting.

Mr. Forrest moved that the committee be continued and that the committee advertise aud superintend the letting of the contract.

On motion of Mr. Dowling it was made the special order for the next meeting.

OHIO STREET

Hon. John Ingle was present and stated that owing to circumstances beyond his control, he was not ready to present the remonstrance he had expected. He presented a supplementary remonstrance against the opening of the street, and also the names of several property holders, who had. signed the petition, withdrawing their names, and others declin ing to pay any damages occurring from the opening of said street. His statement showed that out of 65 petitioners on the original paper, 43 were now opposed to opening the same on the plan therein proposed, and he suggested that the question be.begun de novo, that the Council select one man and the railroad one and that the property holders along this street be allowed to express anew their wishes, thereby probably saving time and

This is, no doubt, the sentiment of every member of this body. g^The history of this street is readily explained. Mr. Rose, many years ago, laid off an addition to the city from Seventh street, east, to the Wabash & Eric Canal, and this embraced Ohio street to its eastern boundary. In the meantime, the Ev ansville & Crawfordsville Railroad became the purchaser, from Mr. Rose, of a strip of land 232 feet wide, running North and South, for the use of that company.

That land has been used for its tracks, switches, and buildings for many years, and is yet used for the same purpose. This is an admitted fact, and the Kailroad owns the property in fee, so far as is known to the Committee. At a later period, Mr. Rose laid out another addition to the city, east of the Railroad, and named one of the streets "Ohio," which, on the city map, corresponds with Ohio" street ws( of the canal and the Railroad. It appears on the map as a continaoux

appears on the map as a street as far east as the new addition known as "Gilbert Place." Doubtless Mr. Rose, in his newest addition to the city, between Main street and the Bloomington road, meant to recognize the necessity of having the streets conform name to the original and the older additions to the city. Ohio street is known as such, and by that name, both east and west of the railroad, isso recorded oil the plat of the city, and must be treated as one street. For- city purposes, it is the same thoroughfare.

The question for the Council to decide is this: There appears to be a strip of land owned by the EvansviI le i*c Crawfordsville Railroad Company, which divides Ohio street, and prevents the free use of said street from its starting and terminal point. That property i.s not platted

(is tic ft rat,

or any part of it. In

other words, there is an obstruction to the free use of the street. The city charter gives the Council power to remove it, on the petition of the citizens living on or owning property on the same. That petition you have before you. They ask this street to be opened on and through these railroad grounds. They do not ask the track or tracks to be removed, or the possession of the ground to be abandoned, but simply that it shall be placed in a condition for the passage of vehicles of all kinds and for foot passengers to walk over it, as is now the condition of a score of streets in the city. A similar request was made ot the Terre Haute, Vanduiiu St. Louis Road, and of the Terie Haute, Alton and St. Louis Railroad Company, as to Second street, (north) and both met with a prompt and cheerful response from Mr. McKeen and Mr. Herkimer. That street is now being put in proper order for the passage of vehicles and foot passengers, and would have been completed leng since but for the severe illness of a contractor engaged by the latter Company. The Evansville Railroad Company should be called upon to do the same as to Ohio street, and save the ill-feeling which must be created by opening the street by law. If Mr. Ingle,the President refuses to open the street, then the Council has its remedy, and it is quite proba ble that it will be opend by due process and in the mode pointed out by the city charter. But the action of the Council should be deliberately taken, and with reference to the legal rights of all parties. This mode of proceeding is set forth in sections 61, 6*2,63, 64, 65 and 66. The attentton of the Council is respectfully called to these sections of the city charter.

Section 63 reads as folloms: Stfch Commissioners [to assess damages and benefits] or a majority of them, shall at the time and place indicated in such notice, proceed to an examination of the real estate proposed to be appropriated as aforesaid, and shall then and there es timate.

"First,

The value of the land or other

property to be appropiialed for such improvement.

"Second,

What part thereof, if any

ought to be borne by the city. Third, What real estate, if any, would be benefitted by the improvement, specifying the same in parcels, with the name of the owner, if known, and the proportion of the benefits each would receive, and the proportion of damage sustained by each."

This is the obligation resting upon the City Council—to see that these commissioners are legally appointed and called out. Before any street is opened over territory not platted u.s a commissioners shall consider the three propositions above, make their award in writing, and submit the same to the Council, under the requirements of the city charter When that is done and the expenses fully known, the question of opening Ohio street will fully come before this body. There are the tirelimiiut it.- which must precede final action.

It would be improper for the committee to suggest how much or how little damage would accrue to the railroad company by opening this street. That question alone belongs to the commissioners, and in their hands it must rest.

The remonstrants, it will be seen (and one of them W the President of the Railroad,) give no intimation that the time will ever come when the street can becxtended. According to the spirit of that paper, this Railroad ground is forever to remain a ban ier in the way of the people of the city enjoying the free use ot Ohio street. If iliti position is defencible, then have ilie Council and the citizens lost all control of the question as to other street obstructions. '1 lie President, in his verbal statement to the Council, talked ut "tunnelintr under the street" and "bridging over it but thai, we suppose, was only intended to show uhat wioht be done to save his switching yard. The expense of either mode would far exceed the value of the land which it is proposed to appropriate for this street, it would exceed it a hundred fold. He did not say at whose expense this "tunneling" and "bridging" was to be done. No appropriation of money, for such a purpose, could get a majority in this Council, nor any other that the citizens are likely to elect.

The committee do not say that casej may not arise when the "train yard" of a railroad, and its costly buildings should not be spared. On the contrary, there are such cases, and the City Council, whoever compose it, will always be found capable of discriminating in favor of snch improvements. In this case, however, there are no costly buildings—indeed none at all. The planking over the track and grading the width of the street is all the actual expense to be incurred, outside of the value of the land appropriated. If the value of the land has to be paid for, that must be decided by the Commissioners. There is one thing quite clear to the Committee: There never was a time, and probably never will be, when Ohio street can be opened with as little expense as now. For this reason the Committee deem it the duty of the Council to have this matter put at rest, in a legal way, and recommend the adoption of the following resolution:

Resolved, That the City Clerk be requested to notify the Commissioners

fore elected to assess damages and ts for the opening of streets within ipemng the city of Terre Halite, to appear at the

Also to assess benefits to those living on or owning property on Ohio street, and do all other things which may be necessary to carry into effect chapter 12 of the City Charter in regard to opening ami extending streets.

OHIO FE.MAI.K COLLEGI:. -It. i. with pleasure that .we call ihe attention of our patrons to this popular institution of learning, nituated in the beautiful village of College I till, '1110, a few miles north of Cincinnati, and enjoys the peculiar advantage which the neighboi hood of a large city confers while vel sufficiently retired for undisturbed study. The Col" lege has now entirely recovered from the great disaster which befell it in 1S0S when the principal building was burnt.

new and more spacious edifice has been erected with a frontage of about 200 feet, including wings. It is built of brick—in the French style, with freestone ornaments and Mansard slate roof. Lofty ceilings, and wide halls running the full length of the building permit free ventilation. The whole building is heated by steam, and lighted with gas. The boilers and gas works being placed at a safe distance from the building. The steam is carried to each room and along the halls, and a uniform and healthy temperature is secured throughout the house. Hot and cold water are forced to the top of the building and are thence drawn off to the bath rooms and closets. No fires are required within the building, the kitchen and laundry being in separate buildings. The chapel of the College situated in one wing of the new building, is capable of seating three hundred persons. Convenient to this are class rooms. There are two large rooms, each 50 by 20 feet, the one used for a studio and the other as a hall for the two literary societies.

The windows throughout the building are furnished with inside blinds, and are raised and lowered by weights. Each room is carpeted and is supplied with a large closet for wardrobes. In the construction of this new temple of learning, special pains have been taken to make it a most beautiful, comfortable, and convenient home. We refer our readers for further information to the advertisement of the College to be found in another column. 27-dlt.
