TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA. 1

Saturday Morning, April S, 1S71,

The honest Democracy of Lafayette held their nominating convention ^w.iih closed doors.

lies great English Opera Combination commenced a season at the Indianapolis -Academy last night.

SenatorsSchurz and Sumner may congratulate themselve* that the splendid result of the April elections is not their fault.

John B. Goutu is perhaps the onlv married man living who can truthfully say that he "n®ver heard but one lectnre in his life."

Judging from recent events, an occasional defeat, such an that in New Hampshire, does the Bepublicans good, and promises to iii-ike the parly purer, stronger and better prepared for the nest national contest.

I'hf Indianapolis papers* still complain of llio devastations of wild animals in that city. Only the other day herds of red foxes were raiding on chicken coops, and now the Journal reports the slaughter of a big woodchuck at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Noble stre"et. ir&J

is announced that another effort to repair the broken Atlantic cables will be more early next month, and if the weather is fair no difficulty in doing so is apprehended. Of three cables but one has been working during the last five months, and that ha* not been able to do the business offered, even at double the old rates.

A Washington correspondent says !a deoided reaction in public sentiment, which has been going on for some day», is now fairly at flood tide, and the sympathy of a large majority of the Republicans is with the President, as against Sumner. The latter has had numerous conference* with the Democracy, and their great interest in his behalf has contributed to this.

fact that the Massachusetts Legislature on Tuesday, rejected a bill to restore the prohibitory liquor law, and a proposition to repeal certain sections of the act of 1870 the effect of which would be to re tain the prohibitory liquor law, with cider exempted, was also lost.

Mary Ct.emmer Ames write3 to the Xew York Independent: "It lias been said I hat when God wants a great man he makes one:" and adds, "1 wish he would make the great man for the Republican party." The Chicago Republican thinks, if it should so happeu that God's wants became concurrent with Mary Clemmer Ames' wishes, we might be sure that, in ilue time, the great man will put in his .•ippearance.

An interesting item in the cen-ui-s sta tislics is the fact that the negro popula lion, instead of having decreased since ha war, hat increased in the Gulf States land those just north of them. In the Cornier the gain has been about 3.66 per cent., and in the latter about 3.24 per cent. In Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia, and other Northern Southern States there lias been a decrease of nearly .six

By the conditions of peace, France cedes to Germany many of her most celebrated schools and colleges. She gives up the University of Strasburg, with its faculties of theology, law, medicine, science and letters also the superior school of pharmacy at the same place. She yields the lyceums of Metz, Strasburg and Colmar, the admirable literary and scientific school at Mulhouse, the colleges of Dieuze, Phalsburg, Sarreguemines, Obernay, Thionville, Boimwiller, Haguenau Saverne, Schlestadt, Wissenbuig, Altkirch, Guebwiller, Mulhouse, Rouffach and Thann the professional schools of Metz and Mulhouse, and the normal schools of Metz, Strasburg and Colmar Fortunately none of these schools are wiped nut of existence.

The Morlun-Scliarz Debate.

[From the Washington Republican, April 4.] Senator Morton in his brief reply to Mr. Sumner on Monday last, stated that while the treaty for the annexation of Texas was pending, and the negotiations were going forward, Mr. t'allioiin, Secretary of Slate, notified ihe Government of Mexico not to interfere by invading Texas while negotiations were pending, and that such invasion would be resisted by the United States, and promised Texas that as soon as the treaty was signed, and before it was ratified, the United States would protect her against Mexico.

Mr. Schurz, in his speech, contradicted this flatly, and read a dispatch from Mr. Nelson, Acting Secretary of Sia'e, to Mr. Murphy, in Texas, to the effect that lie [Mr. Murphy] had no right to promise Texas the protection of the United States against Mexico, as that would lead to war with Mexico, which could only be authorized by CoDgress.

At this point Mr. Morton tried to correct him, but was quite overwhelmed by his voluble clamor, dogmatic objections and flippant smartness.

The next day Mr. Schurz returned to the charge about the Texas matter, evidently not satisfied with the condition in which hie had left it. As soon as he was through, Mr. Morton took the floor to set the matter right.. But Mr. Schnrz knew what was coming, and soon interrupted him, and continued to do so until he concluded his remarks. Mr. Sumner also came to the relief of Mr. Schurz, and interrupted Mr. Morton four or five times in a futile effort to parry the force of what he was saying.

But Mr. Morton was not to be diverted from his purpose. He contradicted Mr. Schurz's construction of the Calhoun dispatch by quoting from Mr. Sumner's speech on Monday what Mr. Benton said, and nailed Mr. Schurz'n statement to the counter by showing tjiat the Nelson Dispatch, from which he had read the day before, had been written several months before the tieaty had been signed. Had he stopped here, the discomfiture of Mr. Schurz would have been complete, but he did not. He then read from the history of Texas, showing that Mr. Upshur, who was Secretary of State, had assured the Texas commissioners that as soon as the treaty was signed, and before heing ratified, the President would protect Texas, and warn Mexico to let her alone. We quote the extract from Yankin's History:

On the second point Mr. Van Zandt inquired of Mr. Upshur confidentially whether, after the treaty was signed and before it was ratified, the President of the United States would order a military and naval force to the.proper points of the Gulf of Mexico sufficient to protect Texas from foreign aggression. In reply, he was directed to assure the Government of Texas that the n^oment the treaty was signed President Tyler would send a

To the few enthusiasts who ^insist on impracticable legislation for the suppression of the liquor traffic, we commend the I naval squadron upon the Gulf and a mil-

i,tary force to the Texan borders, to act as circumstances should require and, furthermore, the United States would then say to Mexico: 'You must in nowise disturb or molest Texas.'

Soon after, Mr. Upshur was killed by the explosion of a cannon on a gunboat on the Potomac, and Mr. Calhoun succeeded as Secretary of State, and on the 11th of April, 1844, the day before the treaty was eigned sent the following (lis* patch to Mr. Van Zandt: "Gentlemen: The letter addressed by Mr. Van Zaudt to the late Secretary of State, Mr. Upshur, to which you have called my attention, dated Washington, 17th of January, 1844, has been laid before the President of the United States "In reply to it I am directed by the President to say that the Secretary of the Navy has been instructed to order strong naval force 10 concentrate in the Gulf of Mexico, to meet any emergency, and that similar orders have been issued by the Secretary of War to move the disposable military forces on our southwest ern frontier for the same purpose. Should the exigency arise to which you refer in your note to Mr. Upshur, lam further directed by the President to say that dur ing the pendency of the treaty of annexa ation he would deem it his dtity to use all the means placed within his power by the Constitution to protect Texas from all for eign invasion."

Upon the reading of this dispatch Mr Sumner and Mr. Schurz instantly squirmed, and Mr. Schurz was disabled from ap pealing to Democrats in the galleries by any smartness.

No one can read the debate without perceiving,that Mr. Morton fastened up on Mr. Schurz a point-blank rnisrepre sentation, the effect of which the latter tried to avoid by violent declamation audacity of manner and pert replies.

Mr. Schurz is smart, plausible, flippant and quick, yet he is anything but profound, and his statement of facts require examination.

If good people would but make good ness agreeable and smile, instead of frowning in their virtue, how many would be won to the good cause. If misfortune comes into your house, be patient and smile pleasantly, and it will stalk out again, for it can't bear cheerful company. It is better to tread the path of life cheerfully, skipping lightly over the thorns and briars that obstruct your way, than to sit down on every hedge, lamenting your hard fate. The thread of a cheerful man's life spins out much longer than that of a man who is continually sad and desponding. Prudent conduct in the concerns of life is necessary but if distress succeed, dejection and despair will not afford relief. The best thing is to be done when evil comes upon us, is not lamentation but action—not to sit and suffer, but rise and seek the remedv.

From the Leavenworth (Kan.)

CABPETS are very cheap thin year, and we intend the public shall know it and shall (ret the benefit of tho decline. Buy no last year's goods they are dear and very likely motheaten and damaged. Buyonly 'new. clcan, fresh goods, and what is eiunlly important, buy only well known makes. It Costs Carpet Stores twenty eents on a dollar for every yard of Carpet they sell, and so in order to make any show at all of competing with us they are forced to buy shoddy and unknown makes of Carpets, which they endeavor to palm oft on their customers as "Hand Loom" or "Family" Caroets-

We keep only the best brands, such as.Bifion.s, Lowells and Hartford* in the grades of "Extra," "Super Extra" and "Super Extra Super." and the very best mikes of "Imperial three-ply" ana English Tapestry Brussels.
