DAILY EXPRESS.

TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA.

Thursday Morning, March 30, 1871.

WE trust that our Republican friends, of the city, will int^est themselves in the approaching Ward meetings, and will turn out and attend them in good numbers. Tt is necessary first to nominate good and popular candidates for the coming municipal election, and then to give them the warm and earnest support of the party. This done, and the Republicans will succeed. Let there be a good turnout of Republican voters in each Ward to morrow iyght, to select delegates to the City Convention, and put in nomination a Councilman (or each Ward. The importance of attending to these duties should be apparent to every Republican. For the places of meeting in the different Wards, see the call of the Executive Committee, on ilie fourth page of this issue.

AT THE tiiue of writing, the latent intelligence from Washington leaves the San Domingo matter in the same condition it has been for'some days past. The Commissioners have not, as yet, filed thei.report. Various rumor* are afloat in regard to what it will contain of information and recommendations. The Commission has, no doubt, worked diligently to acquire the utmost information possible, within the short time allowed for its labors, as to the exact condition of San Domingo, its resources, population territory, internal and foreign difficulties and all other matters that may settle the question of the policy of its annexalion to the United S.ates. The facts properly and truthfully prevented with the conclusions of the Commissioners thereon, will shortly enable the Senate to judge of the propriety of rejecting or confirming the pending treaty for purchase. In the mean time the opinion is gaining ground that the labors of the Commission will not materially strengthen the position of the friends of annexation and that if, there shall appear, from the report, to be any doubt of the propriety of annexation, that it will not be further pressed by the administratration. This is as it should be. The country at large is not specially interested in the San Domingo business, and it will require a very clear demonstration of the benefits that will flow from the purchase and annexalion, before it will be favorably considered by the public at large.

President GRANT has given the matter much reflection and study, and is deeply impressed with the necessity to the country of having some territory in the West India or Leeward Islands. He may have been too sanguine in his views of the necessity of immediately acquiring the Dominican territory, but that he is honest in his purposes no one can doubt. The assaults made upon the administration by ccrtain Republicans, for its favor toward the Sin Domingo treaty are improper and unjustifiable. It looks very much as if it was seized as a mere pretext on which to base a family quarrel. The treaty will be well considered by the Senate, and not confirmed unless there is manifest advantage to the United States in so doing. The confirmation is not probable. In the meantime, Mr. SUMNER, and others who avail themselves of the pendency of the San Domingo treaty before the Senate, to assault President GRANT and his admin" istralion—and endeavor to produce difficulties in the Republican party thereby, and thus ventilate their personal grievances, are not doing a profitable work, either for their party or themselves.

Progress in 17 tali.

i'roin the N. Y. Sun.] The most favorable reports continue to reach us from Utah in relation to the progress made in silver mining and notwithstanding that the snow in the canons and the mud in the roads have greatly reduced the shipments of ores for the last month or two, they average 250 tons a week at the present time. The mining districts spread over a great extent of country, a large portion of which has not yet been prospected.

The Emma mine, in Little Cottonwood Canon, near Salt Lake City, has already yielded from 4,000 to 5,000 tons of ore, worth in gross $200 per ton and it is said the workings exhibit 33,000 tons in place, with no apparent signs of exhaustion visible, From Meadow Valley, 300 miles south, some $280,000 'vorth of silver has been shipped within the last year. At East Canon ores have been found which yield over $6,000 net per car load, while in many parts of the Territory there appears to be no end to the number and extent of the deposits of a lower grade of ores. Extensive mills for the reduction of ores are going up in all directions, and during the approaching summer great progress will undoubtedly be made in further developing the mineral resources of the country. Several towns are ?row ing up, the result of mining enterprises there are between 300 and 400 miles of railroad already built,and other lines are projected.

Operators in Utah have great advantages over those engaged in mining further west, as supplies of all kinds can be obtained there at reasonable rates, there being a large agricultural population already established, while manufactures have made considerable progress in the Territory, and the railroads afford ample facilities for transportation. Labor is abundant and cheap coal, wood, and water are sufficient for all needful purposes aid there is probably no other section of the country which offers such inducements to capitalists who understand mining for immediate realization upon their investments.

There can be but one opinion as to the inevitable result of the silver discoveries in Utah. Men of wealth and enterprise will be attracted thither, and the Gentiles will soon outnumber that portion of Brigham Young's followers who still acknowledge his supremacy in temporal affairs. If Congress will only have the wisdom to keep its hands off, and let events take their natural course refuse to vest in BriRham and his tools the title to the most valuable lands in the Territory, under the pretext of grants for canals and public improvements and postpone for the present all action in relation to the admission of Utah as a State—in short, if our lawgivers will only be con tent to "let well enough alone," the vexatious Mormon problem, which has puzzled so many wise heads, will speedily and effectually solve itself, without intervention from any quarter.

A New Hampshire Democrat, an employe of a railroad company, was so eager to vote that he started alone at eight o'clock Monday evening, from Plymouth, in a hand car, and propelled it to Well's River, a distance of forty-eight miles on an up grade of eightv-five feet in a mile, arriving at his destination at 1A o'clock on the morning of election dnv.

A WATCHFUL CONSCIENCE.

A Goid Watcli Returned from Call fornia After Having been Stolen Three Years.

From tho Dubuque Herald, March 24th,] Some individuals have more conscience to tell them what is wrong than others Some thieves have more than is good for their peace of mind. This fact is lorcibly illustrated in a case which transpired the other day. Some three years ago the old Tremont House in Dunleith, since then destroyed by fiie, was entered by a burglar, or raided by one of its boarders, and the proprietor, Josh Lawrence! robbed of some seven hundred dollars and a valuable gold watch. A certain individual was suspected a3 the perpetra tor of the deed, but as no clue remained on which to base an arrest or an examina tion, nothing was done in the matter, the time some people thought the report was false, and circulated to awaken sym pathy lor the proprietor. The other day the identical gold watch arrived from California by express, neatly done up a package and directed to the rightful owner, who once more wears it in his pocket after an absence of three years in California. No evidence was on the package to lead to the sender thereof, but a person who was in Dunleith at the time, and who departed the next day for parts unknown, is suspected. Whether he has become rich or not, he has too much conscience to be a first class thief. The money he took, however, will entitle him to a rank among the fraternity, none of which has been returned. That watch has doubtless kept him awake many night, and to relieve his conscience it was returned to the rightful owner.

Luther and the Germany of To-day It will be remembered that Luther had by "the profundly learned lady, Cathe rine Luther, his gracious house wife, whom he valued "above the kingdom of France or the slate of Venice," six chil dren. The eighth generation of his de scendants was represented, in the male line, by Joseph Carl Luther alone. This Joseph had seven children, of whom all except two daughters, Maria and Eliza' belli, were in 1867 living in Halle or its vicinity. None of them were at all dis tinguished, and nobody in Eisleben or anywhere else knew anything concerning them beyond the simple fact that they existed. "Sense becomes nonsense, wel fare a plague: alas for thee that thou art a grandson!" says Goethe.

The memory of the mighty monk not cherished as it deserves, either by the Prussian government or by the German people. Not in all the city of Eisleben, with its two daily newspapers could I find a photograph of the Reform er, and it was with difficulty that I dis covered in an obscure Buchhandhing one of his house. The stone step of his humble dwelling is little worn now by the tread of reverent pilgrims, and the cobwebs stretch athwart the stairs. Germany has erected a few statues in honor of genius—to Guttenberg, Faust, and Schoffer, to Goethe and Schiller but most of its statues are in apotheosis of sashed and ribboned idiocy, bestriding the horse which the Germans of all men sit most ill, and only great "by the grace of God" or the titular additions of ilunkeyism. France writes on her July Column the names of all her immortals Italy fashions from the imperishable marble, with the long patience of centuries, and places in her Pantheon at Milan, the shapes of all her illustrious sons but Germany, which is full of bronze kings who in their genera tions were tyranic idiots, plants no worthy statue to Humboldt or Luther or Beethoven, princes of science, of religion and music in all our Christian world. Peaceful as she is, in all practical matters Germany is the youngest of all civilized peoples, and, like a young girl, her imagination runs on military brass and spangles.—From STUDENT RAMBLES IN PRUSSIA, in the April number of Lippincott's Magazine.

Bit of Private Diplomacy. No better illustration can be given of the complete demoralization of the French army of the Seine than there is contained in the recital of the following incident, which occurred just before the armistice. Two Prussian dragoons, venturing too far beyond their own lines, found themselves suddenly surrounded by a haggard crowd of Gardes Mobile One of the two Prussians could speak French, and one of the Gardes was an Aisacian, and understood German. Therefore, both parties were in a favorable condition to argue the question fairly. The two Prussians refused to give themselves up as prisoners of war, saying, "If we go with you we will be a great deal worse off than we are now but if you come with us you will be a great deal better off than you are now. [t won't do you any good to take us prisoners. It won't put any meal into your mouths, nor warm you, nor yet clothe you. But if you let us take you prisoners, you will be cared for and treated exactly as our men are, and all your hardships, and dangers, and fighting for nothing, will be over!" Despite French patriotism, French stomachs triumphed, and the Mobiles followed in the wake of the two dragoons into the Prussian camp. Long and loud, but good humered, was the laughter that greeted the appearance of the two captors and their crowd of captives. When the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg heard of it he exclaimed, "That was diplomacy," and straightway sent the two amateur diplomatists a handsome present.

TIIE boys on LongwharfJ New Haven, have a novel way of getting molasses into their stomachs. They take a long string, dip it into the molasses, and, putting one end between their teeth, swallow the rest. After calmly enjoying the delicious sweetness for a while, they take hold of the end of the string and pull it gently out. and repeat the operation.

"KILLED by his friends for political effect," is the singular opinion, testified to under oath, by a Southern Democratic Ex-Member of Congress, in explanation of an alleged Ku Klux murder. A case so remarkable—the testimony, not the assassination, is the novelty—deserves to be put distinctly on record. State Senator Stevens, a prominent and influential Republican, was murdered in a room in the Court-House at Yancey ville,North Carolina, while a political meeting was going on. Among the witnesses called before the Senate "Outrage" Committee at Washington, in regard to this mnrder, was Hon. John Kerr, a Congressmen before the war. We extract the followiag from his testimony:

Question—Did you hear of any cause for Mr. Stevens' death? Answer—I have heard a great many conjectures in regard to his death. On one hand, it is conjectured that he was slain by his political enemies on the other hand, it is asserted with equal confidence that he was slain by his political friends, for political effect.

Question—Made a sacrifice of for political effect? Answer—Yes, sir both of these things are alleged.

Question—Which i3 generally believed? Answer—That I can not say.

Question—Which do you believe? Answer—If it is proper, I will say without hesitation that I conscientiously believe him to have been put to death by his own friends. That is my opinion, founded on the evidence such as came to my mind. I believe his death was the result of party arrangement.

Question—With or without his consent? Answer—Oh, of course he knew noth ing of it.

Question—You do not know but he was willing to be sacrificed for the good of his party?

Answer—No, sir but I would, of course, presume not.' Question—He was not as patriotic as his friends were?

Answer—I think not however, he may have been equally so. This vividly reminds us of the solemn platitudes of Senator Stevenson about the attacks upon the Kentucky mail agent Gibson being made by Republicans. A case must be very desperate when no more ingenious loophole of escape can be invented.

THE word 'lady' is perhaps more abus ed than any other word in the language. It was once applied only to the highest type of female excellence, but. it has now so degenerated in its application that it has no significance except as designating the human female. "Are you the woman as advertised for a help?" asked Bridget "I am." "Well, I'm the lady as wants the place." 'Lady,' is derived from two Saxon words 'laf,' a loaf, and 'dien,' to give. It was customary in times of old for those families whom God had blessed with wealth and affluence to give away regularly a portion of bread and other food to those poor families in their respective parishes and neighborhtibds who might stand in need of assistance, and on such occasions the 'lady' of the family, or mistress of the household, herself per sonally officiated, distributing with her own hands the daily or weekly dole. Hence she was called the 'laf-dy,' or the 'bread-giver and in course of time this word, like many others in the En glish language, became abbreviated to its present form of 'lady.'

M. TAINE is a profound critic and an accurate observer of life he is also a daring man. He has not been afraid to discover an analogy between a full dressed belle and a groveling insect, and he has the darin to exhibit his discovery to the worLI under the sanction of his own name. While we confess we perfectly recognize the analogy, we should not dare to tell it. We therefore conceal it under the guise of this sneer uttered by M. Taine: "Wo man, bv modem education and dress, has become a sort of beetle, tightened about the midriff, mounted on a pair of dry and shiny feet, and covered with a glistening envelope. Her ribbons, her hat, and crinoline have ths movement and the rustling sound of the antennae and double pair of wings. Like an insect, too, nothing is seen of her face but the eyes and the expression. Her whole body has the restless activity of a buzzing fly. The best part of her beauty consists of a nervous vivacity, and depends especially up on the coquettish disposition of lier glistening envelope, witli its complications of brilliant details.

THOUGH King Amadeus seems to have begun his reign under favorable auspices as far as Spain itself is concerned, the news this morning and for some time past seems to indicate that the West Indian colonies are not pleased with the new monarch. A portentous agitation exists in Porto Rico, and it is not beyond probability that the Spaniards in Cuba may make the accession of a king who ii distasteful to them an excuse for ending the war which has devastated their beautiful isle for so long bv compromise with those who have been fighting for a separation for the past three years. That, would be a sensible way to settle trouble which otherwise promises to be endless.

POLITICS in the pulpits of a former generation are illustrated by the following story concerning the Rev. Dr. McKean: "About the close of the last century he wore a black (Federal) coc krde on his hat, and when he entered his pulpit, he would put his hat on the Bible with the cockade side turned toward the congregation! A Democrat put his hat with a white cockade on it, right over the clock in the front of the gallery! Of course this political opposition in the church attracted attention until the Fed eral chorister reached over and knocked the Democrat's hat down upon the floor, when a Federalist below kicked it out. of doors."

A CORRESPONDENT of the Scientific Ameri can writes that he has seen a steam-boil-advertised which saves 33 per cent, of fuel a valve which saves 15 percent. a cut-off, which saves 10 per cent a fire grate which saves 21 per cent. metal packer and damper regulator which saves 12 per cent. and a lubricator which saves 1 per cent.—making in all a saving of 101 per cent. Combining all these improvements, an engine would, he thinks run itself, and produce an additional 1 per cent, of fuel, which might be used for domestic purposes.

WHY should the part of the head upon which the hair is placed make so great a difference with the ladies? We well re member when, especially among elderly ladies, there was a hideous monstrosity in fashion which was called "a front." This was as much affected in its day as is the chignon now. Yet both fashions are alike absurd. The most exquisite taste delights in simplicity. The more barbarous a nation, the more it revels in gorgeous and costly ornament

TOM HUGHES, in an article in Every Saiurday, gives an extended account of the location, composition and proceedings of the Parcellian Club, Hasty Pudding, D. K. E. and A. D. societies of Harvard College, all strictly private, two at least, unknown to the faculty. As Mr. Hughes did not visit these societies, the students are highly indignant that one should have "peached" to him.

.THK Atlanta New Era, in an editorial on "The Dignity of Stupidity," expresses the conviction that "it is a very respectable thing to be stupid. Cheek goes a good way with some people, but, when the question is one of permanent success,, give us that luxuriant tillorescence of social conversation—dignified stupidity.

IT can not be true, as has been said, that publishers are a heartless set of vampires, who live upon the life blood of authors, for when Alexander Dumas died he was in debt to Michel Levy Brothers, his publishers, something over 100,000 francs. Dumas the younger offered to pay but the members of the firm declined, saying they had made enough from the great novelist's works without any claim upon his estate.

MADAME SEEBACH, while in Washingington, was robbed of some twenty-seven thousand dollars' worth of diamonds and jewelry, including an elegant-watch presented to her by the Queen of Holland, worth about sixteen hundred dollars. It was in the form of a beetle, thickly inincrusted with diamonds and rubies. Touching one spring caused its wings to open, revealing the dhl of the watch, and another spring opened to the view a portrait of the donor, with a highly complimentary inscription.

THE British Mediccd Journal says that ten tons of hydrate of chloral were imported during last year from Germany. About a year ago it was selling at £5 a pound. Its market price is now some thing under live shillings, the difference in price being due solely to tbe conversion of what was a curiosity of the labor atory into a commercial article. This article is very extensively used, and not without gr at danger.

The Grand Central Hotel. Th*se modern days of wealth and luxury develop frequent enterprises that startle, while they compel us into admiration. A visit to "Gotham" never fails to impress this truth. The new Grand Central Hotel, on Broadway, New York, whose palatial walls cover almost an entire block, is a notable instance of what wealth, taste and enterprise can accomplish. Although the many descriptions given of it are highly eulogistic, the visitor will And, like the Queen of Sheba, that the half has not been told. In richness of appointment and completeness of detail, not even the palace Louvre of Paris, nor the far-famed Langham of London, can surpass while it tin passes them both in size and capacity.

Under the management of H. L. Powers, the proprietor, whose genial, sterling, administrative qualities fairly claim him to its charge de affairs, with his affable corps of gentlemen in the office, there is a quiet determination to make this modern palace of taste and luxury outrank any other in the world.

One would suppose from the appearance of the Grand Central that the in come of a prince would be necessary to enjoy its hospitality, when, in fact, its prices are only from three to four dollars per day. d-lt.
