We .are not aware that there is any "question" in regard to the election of Township Trustee. Mr. XAYLOII has discharged the duties of that important ollice most acceptably, and will be reelected by a very large majority. Had there been any possible doubt of his election, the nouiinition of Mr MorxoY, as the Democratic candidate, would have settled the "question."

KVEHY body is shaking with .ague out at Terre I faute.—Xnr Albany Lethjer.

There isn't ague enough "out at Terre Haute" to prevent the city from growing fotir and a half times as fast as New Albany. Terre Haute has increased in population S3 per cent, during the last decade, while poor, little, bloviating New Albany conies in with a pitiful showing of 20 per ecnt. increase! and that too, after doing more wind-work than Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati combined. Bah! Little towns, like little boys, should learn keep their places and not put on disgusting airs. Louisville owes it to herself to keep her suburbs from making themselves ridiculous!

Tlll-:l'tah ITerabl wants to know how and where TWEED, the dictator of the New York Democracy, acquired his wealth. It savs: "Ten years ago, WILLIAM M. TWEED was a chairmaker and a bankrupt, in New York. lie left his honest trade, and devoted himself to polities. He became a sachem of Tammany, and he held various ollices. Ten years have elapsed, and he boasts that he is one of the largest tax-payers in New York city. His wealth is reported at twelve million dollars. Where did it come from?

The (Y.nal Swindle.

Our readers will remember that J. F. D. LANIER, AntfST BELMONT, A. Gii\ciE KINCI, JAMES TINKER and GI:OI:I E MO-LK, celebrated sharp stock speculators of Wall Street, are the business committee of the "ring" which has bought up and now controls the old abash & Erie canal bonds and stocks. This committee in their private circular describe themselves as selected, "to take steps for procuring the recognition, by the State of Indiana, of said indebtedness cither by an act of the Legislature of the State of Indiana, or by submitting the question of liability, on the part of the State to the Supreme Court ofthe United States—oil such terms as the committee see proper lo accept." To accomplish the purpose desired, the canal "ring" has plenty of money to spend. It has bought up the old canal stocks and bond* at prices ranging from live to ten cenNon the dollar and proposes to realize from the State the full amount of principal and interest thereon, amotinitng to more than seventeen millions of dollars. This result, these unprincipled speculators expect to accomplish through the

Mimcratic par:y. For this end they are working, in connection with the Democratic leaders, to carry the Legislature at the election next week. The whole project is a gigantic swindle. Fvery citizen who has the future welfare of the Stateat heart should watch it and vote against it. The Republican party is committed squarely against it in its State platform, while the Democracy is not. Every vote given to a Democrat for a seat in the next Legislature is a vote to saddle the State of Indiana, now free from debt, with a new debt of $17,000,000 for the benefit of a clique of New York aful Indiana sharpers. It is important in many respects that the Republican party should carry the S:ute, at the approaching election, but especially so that it may prevent the consummation of this grand Canal swindle.

BEDFORD, IND. SsrT. 30TH, 1870. Being called upon for a statement in relation to a certain affidavit sworn to before me in 1SG0, by one Yardeman McCain and now being used by Daniel W. Voorhees in the canvass with Moses F. Dunn.

My best recollection is that sometime before the October election in 1S6G, John D. Thomasson, Esq. of this place came into my Office accompanied by said Mc Cain, and remarked to me that McCain wished lo be sworn to an affidavit, at the same time handing me the paper, which was subscribed by said McCain, Thomasson remarking that McCain knew the contents of the paper. Thereupon I administered the oath, put my Jurat and Seal of the Circuit Court to the paper and handed it back to Mr. Thomasson. I did not know the contents of the paper as it was not read in my hearing, presence. That was the only paper ever sworn to belore me by said McCain to my knowledge but as it was shortly afterwards used against Mr. Dunn in the election. I presume it is the same or a copy thereof being now used by Mr. Voorhees.

I further state that Mr. Thomasson was then and has ever since been regarded as a very bitter personal enemy of Mr. Dunn. [SEAL.] JOHN RILEY,

Clerk of the Lawrence Circuit Court.

Yoorlices Further Exposed. In addition to the documents from Lawrence county which we printed yesterday—and which are reproduced in this issue—we present, this morning, the affidavit of Capt. MICHAEL A. GEI.WICK who commanded Company "B," of the 145th Indiana Vols., in which regiment VOORIIEES' man, MCCAIN, was a private. The Captain swears that "after repeated trials it was found impossible to teach MCCAIN the simplest movement in the manual of arms that his case was brought to the notice of the Regimental Surgeon, who pronounced hiin totally unfit to perform military duty on account of menial incompetency, and that he was subsequently employed about the camp and hospital, performing such menial service as his intellect enabled him to understand, but that at no lime did he perform the duties of a soldier."

We present also the statement of JOHN RILEY, Clerk of Lawrence Circuit Court, showing the circumstance' under which the MCCAIN affidavit was made, and

Politics has been his vocation. Taxes have marvelouslv increased wherever his iniluence has been felt. The assessed .„ a a a valuation of all the real estate in Oneida

county is about $11.000,000. That repre-

scnts the hard toil of many men for three generations. TWEED in ten years has, by Tammany politics, acquired nearly as much. That is the sti iking fact thrust upon the electors."

personal enemy of Mr. DUNN The proven history of the whole affair, then, is this: In 1S00 one of Mr. DUNN'S enemies—and there is no man of positive character who has no enemies—got this poor MCCAIN, to make his mark and make oath to a paper which he could not read and the contents of which he did not suspect. On being informed, sometime after lie had been thus betrayed into swearing to a falsehood, of the real import of the paper, he declared that "if the affidavit read in that way it was a lie." Four years ago Mr. DUNN met this dirty piece of perjury in his canvass of his own county for the office of Representative. He then showed that it was a vile falsehood and utterly routed the party that was base enough to use it. ITe was elected by his full party vote, and reelected in ISliS by an equally handsome majority. Thus the foul effort of a vile man to injure Mr. DUNN by subornation of perjury, using an imbecile as his tool, was thwarted and that the affidavit was consigned, with its real author, to public infamy. It settled among the filthiest dregs at the bottom of the cess-pool of political iniquity, and, diving down there for congenial weapons, A OORHEES foand it and brought it to the surface again.

Knowing its history,' knowing that the poor sillv creature, his "YARDEMAN V. MCCAIN," mark who signed it, had repudiated it knowing it to be a dirty and diabolical compound of idiocy, scoundrelism and subornation of perjury, DANIEL W. VOORIIEES seized it as a prize and has read it in every speech that he has made for weeks past, and not only read it, but has tried to palm it off as the voluntary statement of an intelligent and patriotic man!

The annals of political bareness will be ransacked in vain for a parallel to this conduct on the part of a D. W. A OORHER?. There are few men anywhere who would not scorn such acts. And yet this man is the Representative of the Sixth Indiana District in the Congress of the United States! and seeks to be reelected by the use of means that bring the burning blush of shame to the cheek of everv decent man in the District.

SPEAK(NO of the prospect in Ohio, he Cincinnati Commercial, (independent) says: "The intelligence from all sections of the State is of a character to warrant us

in =aying that the entire Republican State ticket will be elected by a majority of from six to ten thousand. There is not likely to be a full vote polled."

IN the mean time, God will use war as an instrumentality for the pieparation of the race for permanent peace.-CY/i. Times.

If you mean that the victims of war, the slain, are thereby piepared for "permanent peace," we have nothing to say against your position. But if you mean that the survivors are rendered more pacific, less likely to appoal to arms again, we beg to differ.

EUROPEAN NEWS.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—The Times London correspondent telegraphed last night as follows:

The proclamation of the Government delegation at Tours ordering elections to take place on the 10th of October gives great satisfaction here, and promises to give a new direction to the apparently hopeless current of French affairs, and will have the effect of depriving Bismarck of the pretext that there is no Government to treat with, capable of giving guarantees, for thus failing to listen to reason will insure a vigorous support to the measures of the administration from all parts of the country, and revive the grief of the demoralized but gallant French people. The reports of the gutting and pillaging of houses in Paris by the mob come again to us to-day, but do not seem to be based upon any other foundation than the nomination by French of the military courts to try such offences. A necessary precaution. Prussians are anxious to create the belief that there is disunion in the capital.

The balloon post from Paris promises to be a regular success, and we hope to receive periodically again correspondence from that|city.

The postoflice administration of Paris publishes regulations for sending letters through it. Couriers of various legations are subjected to a stric earch by Prussians while passing thM. ,di their lines. I heard yesterday from leanist sources that the Count'D'Eu is either coming or has come to Europe to offer his military service? to the Republic. ITe i9 a competent mi itary leader, what is most wanted just now for France.

FUNERRAL OBSEQUIES.

A requiem mass eherubims, we believe, will be sung over the remains of Louis Moreau Gottschalk at ten this, morning, at St. Stephen's Roman Catholic Church, in East 27th street. The sisters of the lamented pianist are now in town, and under their supervision and that of Messrs. Ilall & Son, the obsequies are ultimately to be conducted.

SOLEMN MASS.

At ten o'clock this morning solemn mass was celebrated at St. Stephen's church, 28th street for the soul of Louis Moreau Gottschalk, the celebrated musician, who died of yellow fever at Rio Janeiro, December 18th, 1869. The body, enclosed in a rosewood case, was removed from the vault where it had lain for the last six days, and placed before the altar, surrounded with harps, crown and other emblematic devices formed of choice flowers.

The officiating priests were Rev. Dr. MacSweeney, celebrant, Rev. J. Henny's, Deacon, and Rev. Mr. Griffin Sub-dea-con, all of St. Stephen's church.

The music was Cherubim's Missa de Requiem. Berger was conductor of the choir, which numbered about 30, including Lamon's tenor, Ducchenst basso, DeLusaune soprano, and- Werneke contralto. H. B. Danford was at the organ. The church was crowded to excess, and most of the musical notables of the city and other parts of the State were seated in the aisle. The pall bearers were Charles Berger, F. Chickering, L. J. De=combs, Richard S. Hoffman, General James F. Ilall, II. Watson, D. C. Moody, G. W. Warn and W. J. Hale.

The remains were interred in Greenwood Cemetery.

WHEETIXCJ.

GREAT FLOOD.

WHEELING, VA. Oct.

3.—The Intelligen

cer's correspondent at Harper's Ferry gives the following details of the great flood in the Shenandoah.

The greatest flood that has been known for thirty-five years is now raging in the Shenandoah river.

The damage to property at Harper's Ferry is immense. Some twenty buildings, mostly large stone and brick edifices, have been swept away, forty-six persons in the immediate vicinity alone have lost their lives, and as many more are in imminent danger.

Shenandoah City, a mile above the Ferry, is entirely gone. The big flour mill still stand, but the machine shops have been washed away. Nearly all of the families of the island are still in their houses, and no rescue can reach them. Some of the houses, however, will doubtless stand, and the Islanders are endeavoring to get into strong houses. Last night a family of seven were rescued by a rope thrown through the window. A few moments thereafter not a vestige of the house remained.

This morning a large colored woman was clinging to a tree in the midst of the seething water, where she had been all night.

Boliver Heights are crowded uith anxious spectators who are compelled to witness what they cannot avoid.

The Winchester railway trestles are completely gone, and bridges destroyed as far up as the Shenandoah Valley. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is intact.

GRAND PROCESSION.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 3.—The procession of societies participating in the exercise® of the Schuetzenfest did not occur this morning, according to arrangement.
