DAILY EXPRESS.

TERRE HAUTE, IND

Monday Morning, Jannary 16,1871.

IT IS stated, on good authority, that ten of the cities of Massachusetts owe an aggregate debt of $33,967,024 but there is a shadow of comfort to the debtors under this heavy pecuniary affliction, which is fo ind in the fitot that the bonds of most of the citie? in question soil at a premium, and none of them helot? par.

HERE is a statement, which, if true, will revolutionize an important branch of manufactures: A Vermonter has just invented a knitting and weaving loom which, it is said, will produce 300 yards of cloth a day, and that of any given weight and texture. The swiftness with which this work is done can be better appreciated by remembering that the best loom now in common use turns off but twenty yards in the same time.

Oua Eastern exchanges, taking time by the forelock, are talking a great deal about the proposed centennial celebration of American Independence, which, of course, will occur in 1870. We concede that the proper place for such a glorification is Philadelphia. In that beautiful city the Declaration of Independence was prepared, adopted, and announced to the ~w,.rt7t'pTmLwhere. but in its natal place, can the one hundreth atiP.UCersary of the nation's birth be fittingly celebrated?—To

Philadelphia will go tens of thousands of American* fi-orn all parts of the country to look upon Independence Flail—to meditate in its shadows on the wondrous growth of our highly favored land, and to take part in formal ceremonials as may distingivsh the eventful day.

TUB retiring Governor of Maine recently published an order severely reflecting on the disorderly conduct of certain military companion that vi'ited Portland. General CHAMBERLAIN says very plainly that the unruly soldiers were Intoxicated, and gives a3 his opinion that no man should disgrace the uniform of Maine by getting drunk while wearing it-. All of which is very much to the point. But, as a Philadelphia journal pointedly .suggests, "Maine has a prohibitory liquor law, and as Governor CHAMBERLAIN was the proper person to execute that statute the question arises whose fault was it that the troops became the worse for liquor— the Governor's or the soldiers' and the Maine militia may with propriety issue a counter order disapproving of Governors who fail to execute the 'Maine laws,' and thereby permit men who 'wear the uniform,'&c., to disgrace themselves."

What is Doing in Japan. The Government is continuing its efforts at consolidation, and, notwithstanding doubts expressed in many quarters, we believe successfully. The affairs in which foreigners are more particularly interested are all progressing apace. The railway works are beginning to make quite a show at several points between Jeddo and Yokohama, and we are informed that the engineer-in-chief has been instructed by the Government to proceed with the preparatory surveys of the more extended line. At Osaka the Mint is nearly completed, and is a remarkably handsome and solid free stone building—the first of its class ever built in Japan. The machinery will soon be in complete working order, but it is hazardous to say when it will commence work. The light-houses are being pushed forward with all the speed possible, and they are of a quality as to construction and lights that would do credit to any country. Altogether, there will be 18 lights on the Japanese coasts, two being light-ship3. Three of the light-houses are under thesuperintendenceofaFrench engineer, M. Verny, chief of the arsenal, ofYokosaka the remainder, under Mr. Brunton, engaged for the Government of Japan by her Britannic Majesty's government for this particular work, but who, since his arrival in Japan, has done the community and government good service in a variety of ways in which his engineering skill could be useful. It is under his advice and su pervision that the settlement of Yokohama is being drained and the streets made. He has also invented a scheme for lighting the settlement which the government have professed themselves willing to carry out so far as the provisions of lamp posts is concerned but the tardiness with which the community agrees as to the means of raising funds for the illumination delays the most desirable and really necessary work. There are fears on the part of many, and we confess that they are apparently well founded, that the issue of an unlimited quantity of kinsats (paper money), while it enables the Government to show great amount of spirit outwardly, must be acting injuriously to the financial prospects of the empirfe for it is generally understood that neither themselves nor any other persons have an exact knowledge as to the quantity issued.and the worst consequences might be apprehended if the public lost confidence in their ruler and his ministers. At present the peo pie of Jeddo and Yokohama like paper money as well as silver money.—Japanese Gazette.

-A. T. Stewart's Citj.

The New York Tribune svys: A. T. Stewart's enterprise on the Hempstead Plains is rapidly assuming defined proportions. Since the commencement of the work in June last, thirty miles of streets have been graded, and sixty miles of fences have been built. The city runs from north to south ten miles, and is two and a half miles in width. Twelvs thousand maple trees, from twelve to fourteen feet in hight, are growing on the streets and aveunes. The city is now ready for building. The blocks are 500 feet wide, and from S00 to 1,200 feet long. The lots will be 250 feet square. The cost of each house will be from $3,000 to $10,000. Twenty houses will be put up this season, all placed in conformity with the general rule, seventy feet from the street. A large fire-proof hotel rad a handsome railroad station are to be immediately erected in the center of the city. The Flushing Railroad will have another track completed by the 1st of July on the road which will pass through the city. The extension to Farmingdale, twelve miles further on, will be finished on the 1st of October. In connection with the railroad there will be a line of ferryboats from Hunter's Point to New York. A trip to the city will occupy about fifty minutes.

JOHN BRIGHT, having been utterly unable to render any service whatever in his ministerial office in England for a year or more, has refused to receive the usual salary. Common honesty of this sort was formerly not so rare among public men as to excite special remark but we have outgrown old notions so completely that an Eastern paper now positively stigmatizes Mr. Bright's course as "more nice than wise."

THE ONFIDA COMMUNITY-

Some Account of the Americaa Sodom—Its Origin His-VJj tory and Object. ^8"

Fanatical Lasciviousness and Despotic Libertinism

Nojes, the Htgh Priest of Xnst and Incet.

The Testimony of en« Who lia* Bees Tbere.

To the Editor of the Chicago Republican: Having noticed in your paper several articles on the Oneida Community, I herewith present, an account of its origin, history, and object. I betve had ar long acquaintance with that Community, and know them well. The Oneida Communniiy had its origin in the inventive genius of its founder, John H. Noyes. Thi* re markable individual came into this mundane existence in the Green Mountain State, which also has the honor of yielding his prototype in religious and social fanaticism, the irrepressible Brigham Young, Noyes was born about the year 1811, of intelligent and respectable parents. His father at one time represented his district in Congress, and was a man of wealth and influence in society. The junior Noyes graduated at Dartmouth College at nineteen, studied law a year, became religious, studied theology at Andover, and finally graduated a Perfectionist at the Yale Theological Seminary in 1834. From this time forward Noyes' career presents a curious mixture of egotism, fanaticism, and licentiousness. His Perfectionism caused his expulsion from the Seminary, amid the cheers and scoffs of the faculty and students. Great excitement pervaded the usually tranquil city of New Haven, as it was currently reported that "Noyes was crazy."

PREACHING THE NEW G03PEL. For several years thereafter, he wandered, preaching from village to village, his new doctrine that the "Kingdom of Heaven was at hand and that he was about to reconstruct the religious and social fabric of society, and establish the "new heaven and the new earth," wherein should reign supremely, domestic felicity, lie defied the most sacred laws of God and man he trampled under his feet the marriage institution, with all its most sacred associations, and propounded anew and repulsive theory of sexual freedom. Noyes' fundamental idea was, that, in the "Kingdom of God," every man would be married to every woman and, vice versa— or, as he had it, that "every dish would be free to every guest."

THEORY REDUCED TO PRACTICE. This was the theory and a few years later he established, at Putney, Vt., a community wherein he openly practiced his Tile and repulsive theory. In due time, however, the good people of Putney became incensed at such vile practices, and Noyes, threatened by mob violence, evacuated the place and "turned up," 51 few months later, near the village of

ONEIDA.

in Madison county. New York where, notwithstaading numerous skirmishes with his neighbors, he has, thus far, held his own. In the fall of 18C7, however, they came very near cleaning out the Oneida Community, and their dispersion is now simply a question of time. THE HAREM—HQW ITS PRIVILEGES ARE

REGULATED.

The social advantages of the Oneida Community are not at all equally divided. Noyes is extremely selfish. Out of one hundred men in the oommunity, Noyes is the only one that has "full swing" among the women, and especially among the young girls. Hugging them is his best hold! No "social freedom" is permitted without Noyes' consent. He is the great head-center. His word is law, and no one dare resist him. If one has what they call a "community spirit," ire., is attentive to "social freedom" with the elder women, but not with the young and handsome ones. Noyes reserves those for his own private use! If one is lazy and discontented, "social freedom" is withheld, and the offender criticised, and held up to the scorn and contempt of his companions: so that it generally pays to behave well. Some men, however, have lived in the Community for years without scarcely touching a woman. "Social freedom does not always depend upon one's loyalty and business habits, but more upon Noyes' favor.

DESPOTIC RULE.

Beyond and above mere "social free dom," or the lack of it, is the great fact that the Oneida Community is a despo tism of the worst kind, and herein is the cause of Us success.

It is only on the ground that the Onei da Community is a despotism, in which one man rules the rest, that the Community exists at all. No one would live there if they were not induccd to believe that th'-y would be damned if they went away. This is the spirit that holds .he Oneida Community together. It spirit of despotism. It destroys free agen cy. It makes one a slave. It paralyzes ambition, and saps manhood and virtue It destroys all accountability to God or man. The inmates of the Oneida Community know no law—neither the laws which came by Moses nor those enacted at Albany or Washington. They are not under law but under Noyes. No one there dare resist him. He rules them soul and body. I have heard poor delud ed fools confess that Noyes owned them— soul, body, and spirit. They "move and live, and have their being," under his magnetism. They have Noyes on the brain.

ISOLATION.

Isolated as the Community are from the rest of society, with no opposing re ligious or moral influence, it is not strange that such a man as Noyes should rule them. They are as isolated from the rest of the world as the inmates of the Sin Sing or Auburn. They do not atteni church or Sunday-school, or anything of that kind. They are taught that it is a gin to have anything to do with their worldly friends and relatives.

PROPAOATING FANATICISM. The Oneida Community is a world within itself. Noyes is a.great talker and writer, and he discourses by the hour. Night after night, day after day, week after week, for months and years, Noyes has filled their minds with a cursed fanaticism, by evolving new religious and social theories, and by claiming special intimacy with the Almighty, until he has completely overcome their natural sense of manhood and womanly virtue, and actually made them believe that it is right to violate the most sacred social laws of God and man.

After one becomes thoroughly magnetised by Noyes, leaving the Oneida Community is like walking out of the gates of Heaven. The doctrine there is, that there is but one God, and that John H. Noyes is his prophet. Submit to Noyes, and yo: will be saved. Resist him and you will be damned. Fatal delusion! but his followers hug it with terrible tenacity hence his power.

A LUSTFUL AND INCESTUOUS BEAST. The result is that Noyes has established in this, the nineteenth century of the world's progress, in this land of free America, and in the heart of the great Empire State, a spiritual and social des* potism that has scarcely a parallel in ancient or modern times. Noyes uses hij power to gratify his lust. "If it had not been for my amativeness," he said on one occasion, "the Oneida Community would never have existed and herein is the real object of that Community.

This Noyes has probably ruined more

innocent young women than any man in this broad America, to Bay nothing of his reported experience with his own sisters and nieces nay more, with his own ille gitimate daughter! Nightly, these poor women ere sacrified to his damnable passion. If Noyes had had his dues he would have been in the State Prison years ago and he may go there yet.

Startling as are some of the abovestatements, they are nevertheless true, and can be proved.

The Oneiua Community is located in Madison county, N. Y., with a branch at Wallingford, Conn. VERITAS.

LAWYER'S FIRST CASE.

DIVORCE

He Learns Wisdom From a Pretty Woman.

From the St, Louis Democrat.] A day or two ago, a talented young lawyer of the city, whose name is not Smith, whose griefs have been like angels' visits, was delighted by finding in his office a richly dressed lady, who announced her desire to employ him professionally. With a beaming smile that could hardly be restrained from bursting into a full blown laugh, the young Blackstone handed the lady a cushioned arm cLair, and assured her that he was "entirely and devotedly at her service."

Seating herself in the proffered office chair, the lady ungloved a small white hand, that literally glistened with diamonds, and applied a Snezlscented hankerchief to her lips, blushing, and, casting her eyes upon the floor, said: "My business is very particular—it is—pardon me, sir, but you will not betray me?" "Betray you? Not for the world, madaine. You can confide in me with the same reliance as in a priest at the confessional." "The fact is—I want—that is, I have been unfortunate in my marriage relations."

The eyes of the lawyer glistened with pleasure, and drawing his chair close to the side of the lady, remarked confidingly: "I see—I see—you want a divorce. I am just the man to get it for you. I am perfectly aufait in matters of this kind, although I have never had a case in court. How long have you been married?" "Nine years." '"Nine years! You must have been very young when you entered that bliss ful—I mean wretched state." "I was a mere child—a foolish, inexperienced school girl. A doting mother placed me in the arms of a man old enough to be my father but he was rich, and for two or three years I did not know the difference—I was as happy as though ray husband had been twenty years younger. But association with other married women opened my eyes, and I became wretched. I pined for—well, for a heart that was more congenial with my own. A man of your age, now, would have suited me exactly," "Exactly so!" exclaimed the lawyer, rubbing his hands and twisting his incipient moustache. "But your sufferings will soon terminate I will get you a divorce, and then 'O dear me!—and then—but I must not be too sanguine. My" husband is very rich, and he will never permit me to get a divorce if he can help it." "Madame, you kon't dnow the law— its majesty—its glorious certaintv—its magnanimity. Consider yourself di vor ced, and rest easy."

J,"Well, sir, how shall I proceed?" "Let me see—in the first place, give me a statement of your grievances." "That would take a whole week. You can imagine what a woman like me must suffer with such a husband." "Ye3, yes—cruel and barbarous treatment—condition intolerable neglect and all that sort of thing. I will just jot down a few of the items. Your name is "Mrs. You must know my husband." "What, the merchant? He's as rich as Crcems." "Yes, he's rich but I don't care for that—I want a divorce."

The lawyer wrote down a sketch of the lady's matrimonial infelicities, and again assured her that he would have no difficulty in procuring a divorce, with at least $10,000 alimony. "How much are you going to charge me for making me so happy?" asked the lady. "Well, I ought to charge you a thousand dollars, but, out of consideration for your sufferings, I will only take a retainer of one hundred dollars, and when it is accomplished you will increase it to five hundred dollars." "That is extremely reasonable. I have no change'about me now. O, yes, here is a check for two hundred dollars that my husband gave me to go shopping. I will only want half of it to-day. Will you get it cashed for me?" "It is after bank hours, but the check is all right. I will give you one hundred for your shopping and keep the check."

The lawyer had that day received a remittance of one hundred dollars from his father, and handed it over to the lady, and, placing his check in his pocket book, bowed his client to the door. He was excessively happy at his good fortune, and that night dreamed of angelic clients, sensational divorce cases, and a huge pile of one hundred dollar bills.

The next morning he went to the bank to get his check cashed, and was thunderstruck when (he teller informed him that the name of Mr. was forged! Indignant at the thought that his fair client had been guilty of so base a crime as forcing her husband's name, he hurried to the store of Mr. with the intention of exposing the lady. He was still more astonished when Mr. informed him that he was a widower, and had not been blessed with a wife for more than ten years.

Young Blackstone was seized with a fit of melancholy, which still afflicts him for all efforts to find the fair swindler have proved unavailing. He has come to the conclusion to have nothing to do with divorce cases, and has written to his father to send him another $100 bill to replace the one he gave his client for a bogus check.

AMISS-FALL.

The Drop of an Eaves-dropper.

From the Springfield (0.) Advertiser, January 10. Quite an interesting incident occurred not two miles from (his city, which, we believe, has not as yet been chronicled. Any inquirer is very easily satisfied of its truth by the blush that his question of inquiry will paint upon the faces of all the parties.

On a certain lot is situated a cosy double cottage, the eastern part of which is inhabited by a gay newly-married couple, while the remaining rooms were occupied by a maiden lady, of middle age, whose weight is 200 pounds avoirdupois. Immediately over the rooms below is a garret, with no floor, and separated from the former by nothing but a weark ceiling. Our esteemed maiden lady appears to have been for sometime past the subject of next door neighbors' gossip. Now, it so happened that one evening the aforesaid couple were entertaining before their cheerful fire two friends, a gentleman and lady. Our ever-watchful friend, hearing the chatter and laughter in her neighbor's rooms, became suspicious and determined that she must be the object of this ill-timed mirth. Led by over anxious curiosity, she ascended a pair of laddersteps, and tripping noiselessly ovor the wooden joist, she stood listening right over the room of the innocent prattlers. So far, very good. But the monotony of one position necessitated a change, and this, in its turn, produced a slip, and

down went woman, ceiling and all, to the evident discomfiture of various persons. The cloud of dost clearing away, there was a piece of humanity suspended in mid-air by a rebedenuit, the extremities of which were attached to nails above, while a pair of pedal appendages were dangling about in search of terra firma. Of course the shrieks of fainting women and the bewilderment of astonished men precluded all idea of immediate extrication so that it was not for some minutes that our female friend found herself safe at home meditating over the follies of curiosity.

'OUR NEW YEAR'S GREETING! in

As we glance back over the work accomplished in sev«i short months, we arc sure our customers will not wonder at our feeling a littWelated at our unusual, but not to us, unexpected success. Our first visit to Terre Irute convinced us that here, of all the cities in this State, was most needed a refoA in the vicious system upen which the Dry Goods business was being conducted. IThe motto of this sstem was, "Secure the very largest profit possible on ever Jollar's worth of goods sold." We believed a change was needed and that the lople would generously support any firm who, disregarding the machinations oft old high-priced stored, would dare to write over their doors this opposite motto, fell every dollar's worth of goods at the smallest possible profit consistent with sal pursuance of this idea we marked out our course and ha or favor. We expected opposition, for we had been infoi sd of the plans laid for our discomfiture. We were not even sure that this oppo form of personal violence, so when the 'high»priced ston up their failing fortunes, we were hardly disappointed.
