He states that then were no hogs in the woods, lie al«o gives as his opinion that the man would have recovered with proper care and nursing, which he states be was unable to give, without assistance.

Dan is a little- tedious after the first two bonis. He could have made a good abstract from one of Dan's old speeches.

YESTERDAY we presented Secretary Boutwell's monthly statement of national finances as the most complete refutation of the sophistries of Voorhees on that subject.

To-day we give Burnett's history of the State debt to confound Daniel and all who dare to talk, in this State, of Republican mismanagement." The Democrat who can read the history ol his party's shame—as told in Burnett's plain stvie, backed up by official figures—and not blush, will never blush at anything.

MILL BURNED.—Mr. Bridenthai', the agent for Sniyser and Melton, received a dispatch yesterday, stating that their mill at JefTersonville had been burned. This is the largest flouring mill in the State, having a capacity for turning out five hundred barrels of flour a day. The mill, building and machinery cost $100,000. A day or two since thirty-two cart loads of wheat were standing on the track, and inside the mill was about the same quantity in sacks. This grain was probably destroyed. "fiJ

A DISPATCH has been received from the immortal Philosopher, "J N." He states that he will address'our citizens tonight at Bank Coi ner. Here is the dispatch: •..(

INDIANAPOLIS, August 2d, 1870.

M., Bank corner, if I am honored with an audience: if not, I will postpone and give further time for reflection. I will assume all the prejudice on mvself. "J. N."

SOLDIERS' BOUNTIES.—The Supreme Court of January last made a decision in regard to soldiers' bounties, in which it was determined that all soldiers enlisting before a certain date, and receiving an honorable discharge, were entitled to $100 bounty, whether they served two years or not. The President's proclamation of May 4, 1SG1, called for forty regiment#, and eighty-two regiments were receivedThe accounting officers were uuable to decide which of these regiments were en» titled to the bounty, and the matter was referred to the War department for decision as to which regiments enlisted during the prescribed time, and which did not. The War Department being unable to determine the question at iabne, the matter was referred to Congress with the recommendation that all soldiers enlisting between the dates of May 4 and July 22, 1861, should be entitled to it, provided that they had not already received it under previous actH. As Congress failed to take any action in the case, all applications for the bounty under the Supreme Court decision are suspended in the office of the Second Auditor for future Congressional action.

ROBBERY.—Between nine and ten o'clock last night three men entered the grocery of Fred. Meyers, about seven miles above town, on the Lafayette road, and called for beer. While Meyers was drawing the beer, one of the men knocked him down with a wagon spoke. They then robbed him of all his money, about §75, one of the robbers holding a pistol at the head of Mrs. Meyers to prevent her interfering. The robbers made their escape.

WAS the Journal's omission oi me telegraphic statement of the public debt, yesterday morning, dictated by a desire not to contradict Voorhees? That great financier has the "cheek" to deny that the debt lias been decreased, or ever will be, while the official statement, published in our telegraphic report, yesterday, shows that the decrease for July was more than seventeen million dollars, and that since March last it has beenmore than sixty-nine millions.' No wonder that Voorhees' organ declines to publish official statements that give (he lie direct to "the great

statesman.".. ^-fT

PROF. BOSWORTH'S LECTURE.—Last night at eight o'clock Prof. Boswortli was greeted by a large and attentive audience who listened with absorbing interest to his lecture on "How the worlds were made." He proceeded to explain the nature of our solar system, to tell how astronomical calculations are made, by illustration and comparison to give an idea ot' the immensity of the universe, to explain the nebular theory of the universe, to account for the singular appearance of the Galaxy, closing his lecture with a series of views illustrating the principal points discusssed in the lecture.

COUNTY CANDIDATES should distribute "stacks" of Jerome (.'. Barnett's history of the origin, progress and payment of the State debt, which we print, this morning. There is no orator capable "of making a speech that will do so much as this plain, simple statement of the facts on which the Republican party of Indiana goes to the people. It is a most crushing condemnation of Democratic mismanagement, and a splendid vindication of Republican economy." All who desire copies for distribution can procure them, by application, through the proper channel, to the Chairman of the State Central Committee. Let every voter be furnished with this incomparable document. Short as it is, it tells the whole story—a story of shame and disgrace to those whose honesty and economy have wiped it out. ,, -.til

CRIMINAL COURT.—The Grand Jury returned several indictments yesterday. Upon one of these indictments Lafayette Myers, who stabbed young Bryant on Saturday evening last, was arraigned for '•murder in the second degree," to which he plead not guilty."

W. A. Stewart, the boy that stole a watch and chain from Mr. Boldt, was arraigned and plead guilty. He is quite young, being only thirteen years of age, but seems to have started upon a determined career of crime. He has recently come to this city, and it is said, proposed to give the boys of this city some lessons in stealing. Among other things he was going to teach them how to raise a man oft' his pillow without awakening him The Court withheld a decision until this morning.

David Ande-son, who is charged with stealing a skiflf late on Monday evening, was arraigned. Should he be tried to day and convicted, he will be ofi'for the penitententiary oh the day following—all of which might be called quick work.

EXAMINEES CONVENTION —Pursuant to the call of the State-Superintendent of Public Instruction, the convention of School Examiners held their first meeting last night in the Normal School building, and effected a.i organization by electing Hon. B. C. Hobbs Chairman, and A. J. Johnson, Examiner of Hendricks county, Secretary.

A communication was received from \V. K. Edwards, denying certain charges preferred against him at the last meeting of the Council, in regard to threats of foreclosing of mortgages in order to in duce property-holders on Ohio Street to take their names from the paper asking that said street be opened

Mr. Dowling said: I desire to say that I have known Mr. Edwards for twentyodd years. 1 made some pretty sharp re marks about the gentleman here, predicated upon statements that I believed to be true, coming from honorable members of the Council. I believed, as I said, they were true and they may be true yet for aught I know. I will say that the remarks I made certainly were not governed by any bitter personal feelings towards that gentleman—none whatever. Until that gentlemen attempted to interfere with the members of this Council upon that occasion, our relations had always been of the kindest personal character, and would have remained 0, so far as I was concerned, if the gentleman had not, on a most vital point, impeached the integrity of this Council, and, I may say, impeached the integrity of your Honor. He refused to surrender into the hands uf this Council a paper providing lor a railroad from here to Bloomlield, to which there were certain names attached. Our citizens voted to subscribe one hundred thousand dollars to that enterprise, anil they did it at the request of a majority of the propertyholders of this city. \Ye made that subscription because we were in favor uf building that road. When \oiir Honor as-ked Mr. Edwards loi iliai paper with the names of distinguished citizens attached to it, he sent you a blank and your Honor returned it "to him, as von very properly did do, and demanded the origiaal paper, and that gentleman quietly picked up the pa per and put it in his pocket, and from that time to this no human being connected with the Council has ever laid eyes upon that paper. It showed manifestly a want of confidence in the city and Council of Terre Haute, which shows that he cares nothing for our opinions. I will not say he acted the dog in the manger.'" From that time to this, not one dollar has ever been subscribed upon that paper. The city ofTerre Hante is powerless. If we could get fifty or one hundred thousand dollars, we could not organize without the paper which he has so little confidence in us that he withholds from the inspection of the representatives of the people of this city. When he did that thing,I think it was not only unkind, but a direct insult to the city and Council, and when he did that thing, I ceased to have the kindlv feelings towards Mr. Edwards that I had before.

The remarks I made, were based upon the statements of honorable men, that such things had been done, and I characterize that conduct, if it was true, as every gentleman would do who had

the honor of poor humble moii, at least, whose homes were invaded by anybody with threats and. intimidations to ostracise and persecute, and I say if he did that thing charged I have nothing to retract. He says he did not do it. I am willing Mr. Edwards'.denial shall go before the Council, and I am willing that this Council shall accept it, and that other gentlemen shall come forward and substantiate these charges. If any man supposes that I come into this Council to attack any man, whether humble or exalted, they mistake me very mnch. I care no mpre for that gentleman than anybody else and I care a

food

deal less than I do for some people, low, I don't care what you do with the communication. I think the Council had better accept of it and let it go for what it is worth.

Mr. HAGER said I don't wish to be understood as being the champion of.Mr. Edwards or any other individual. I told him if he would give me that communication I would present it to the Council. If Mr. Edwards was guilty of any such conduct I would condemn him just as quick as any gentleman in this Council. I^think it is a qnestion of veracity, and we simply want to know whether that charge is true or not.

THE MAYOR: That can only be ascertained by an investigation. MR. FORREST said: 1 am ever ready to do any one justice. So far as the communication is concerned, I think it is a mere matter of justice towards Mr. Edwards to receive it and place it upon the files. I hope the day will never come when an individual of this Council- will refuse a communication, treat it with contempt and lav it upon the table. That Mr. Edwards may have done wrong has nothihg to do with the present sUbjeCf. before us. To receive the communication then, and place it upon the records, is simply an act of justice to Mr. Edwards. It is true that he is a gentleman of some eccentricities and peculiarities,'but we are all that way: he in one -way -I in--another, and still some other-gentleman inanother way it is a failing of human nature which we are all iuore or less possessed of.

I believe him tb be a gentleman of veracity and a gentleman of honor. He sends that communication -here and informs my friends Dowling and O'Connell they have been mistaken. If they have been mistaken, and have placed him in this light, (which is certainly not a very pleasant position) and he is not guilty, let us relieve him gladly and cheerfully let us relive him—lift him out of that position by placing this communication upon file.

THE MAYOR: He did not see that that would help Mr. Edwards that he had put in a denial just like a man would when he pleads "not guilty," which does not clear him unless tried and found innocent by a jury he presumed the best way to clear Mr. Edwards would be to have an investigation, should the Council desire it, to determine whether the charges preferred by Mr. O'Connell against Mr. Edwards are true or not.

MR. O'CONNELL said: Twill remark that my authority came from a man whose veracity 1 could not doubt who said he was ready to prove it, and if the investigation goes on, of course I will go back to my authority.

Mr. DOWLING again rose and said: Mr. Edwards has not asked for an investigation and does no even hint such a thing, and I think we had just better accept ®f the communication and place it on file and let it go for what it is worth.

Mr. FORREST: That is my judgment. Adopted. DEFERRED BUSINESS.

The resolution of Mr. O'Connell, offered at the last meeting, in regard to the uniform of the city police, was taken up and referred to the Police Board.

GT' STATION HOUSE.^

The question of the Station House was taken up as the special order of business in the Council. After considerable discussion the matter was further deferred until the next regular meeting of the Council.

On motion the Council adjourned to Tuesday night, August 9th.
