TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA.

Wcduesday Horning, April 15, 1871.

A WASHINGTON COURK-l'ONDENT

will be tendered lo General

isai.l.

of Washington on Saturday night: "I am going to continue an independent man in pursuit of Republican principles, and what I have done myself I have advised my German friends to do. Tlic-'e principles to-day are as just and as firm in my heart as they weie fifteen years ago."

Which Parly Can the People Trust/ The able writer whose political articles in Harper's Weekly have long rendered that journal a power in the land, describes in a few words the present posi tion of the Republican party and the Administration. The people, lie say# have "perfect faith in the honesty of the Administration," they listen attentively to criticisms upon k, but thev will "insist that the Republican criticisms of our own party shall be friendly, and not helpful to the common enemy for it is only by friendly criticism that the party policy is made truly wise." (starling from th:» text the 2s'ew York Times says:

The principle here laid down is one to which very few will object. It places at once in their proper aspect tho^e "criticisms" upon the Administration, which are evidently based upon mere malicious and personal hostility toward the President. The abusive attacks made by some of the President's enemies probably do him more good than harm, for in many case3 their motive is well understood, and in all cases they tend to disgust people, and to produce a reaction in the Pies. ident's favor. If the Administration will place itself in advance of the nation, and identify itself with those measures which are clearly seen to be necessary, wild scurrility wi 1 be powerless to injure it. As for these criticisms which are founded upon a supposed foreknowledge of events, or the faculty of shifting with every change of the wind, no intelligent person ever paid the least attention to them. In one quarter President Grant is constantly advised to be like Jackson, and. swear "by the Eternal" to put down opposition. Yet, whenever he shows any signs o£ independence, this snme journal comes out and tells him that lie is a failure, and pathetically casts him off. Perhaps it might be deemed offensive to call this kind of criticism imbecile, and it answers every purpose to describe it as compounded of an equal mixture of foolishness and dishonesty.

But, whatever differences of opinion may exist now or at any future time about the Administration, we hope there can be none in the minds of the people with regard to the necessity of keeping

the Republican party in power. The country has as much need of that now as ever it had. It is still a party which aims at the attainment of lofty ends, and which is better capable than any other party of sustaining the honor and advancing the prosperity of the country. We are not yet quite clear of t)ie stormy waters la sed by the rebellion, and it wouid be dangerous to discard the organizaiion which alone prevented the collapse of the United States a few years ... ago. People who think that the South has forgiven and forgotten its defeats have conjured up for themselves a fool l'aradise. The ugly fact is before us that communities which have staked every thing on a war and lost, seldom forget what they regard as their wrongs. No man supposes that France will abide one decision in the struggle which sh,e provoked. The Southern press constant ly expresses the hope that the day will come when the "lost cause" will triumph

The belief of nine-tenths of the people is that their children will never re.it satis tied until an attempt has been made to retrieve the fortunes of the Confederacy These sentiments may gradually die out .but if the Democracy is restored to power they will be far more likely to acquire a midden strength which* will alarm all classes of the people, and con vince them when too late that permanent security was to be obtained under Repub lican rule alone. The happiest day which all discontented spirits at the South have seen for some years would be that on which a Democratic President was sent to Washington. The murmurs which we hear now would instantly be exchanged for something much more for midable, and the Democrats as a party would be untrue to their history if they did not stand by the South at such a cri" sis rather than by the North.

Republican leaders arc naturally divi ded in opinion with regard to the meas ures which ought to be adopted for quel ling disaffection at the South. Ilarper\ Weekly, the Tribune, and other journals ask for general amnesty. On the other band, Mr. Wendell Phillips—with whom many will agree on such a question this—calls this demand "one more out growth of that coward and blundering anxiety for party success which has poisoned the whole reconstruction policy Whoever supports it helps to dig the grave of the Republican party,and possi bly of the Union itself." But the mast powerful argument on Mr. Phillips' side is supplied by Jefferson Davis and Southern journals. It certainly seems a great deal to ask that the "President" of the ex-Confederacy should be instantly rendered eligible to be sent back to the United States Senate—as lie unquestiona bly would be if all political disabilities were abolished. It is only the other day that Mr. Davis declared that "State sovereignty"—and we have terrible reasons for knowing what he means bv tlia^— "although defeated in the late "str ?ggle, will ultimately triumph." The Southern people, he also said at Selma, "had sent forth their sons to battle for their rights as States." He himself "never had asked pardon for what he had done, and lie never would, for he felt that he had done no wrong." Would the people who fought against secession be once more willing to have such sentiments as these proclaimed in the United States Senate? The fact is that Mr. Hale's recent amnes ty bill goes as far as common prudence warrants. It would exclude Jeff. Davis and others of his class from political power, but it would deal in the most gen erous manner with the majority of the Southern people. There is such a thing as being too magnanimous to enemies who still cherish their enmity toward us and are only anxious to find another opportunity of flying at our throats. But this question, like all others, is far safer in the hands of the Republicans than it would be in the hands of Democrats. Intrust it to Democratic treatment, and the South would be aflame in less than three months. To return, then, to what we said at first, it is qute clear that no prejudices which are entertained in any quarter toward the Administration ought to extend to the Republican Party. Men come and go, but the principles of the Kepubhcan organization will endure, unless some great dHas^er'i^v^ in store for thecountrv.

Amnesty. that so much truth and

Justice are condensed in a single article,!

a» are contained in this brief editorial

from the Indianapolis Journal of yesterday. Read it and judge for yourself: We fear that those who are

urgent®

in their demands for the passage of a general amnesty law by Congress, do not take into acount the real character of the men it is intended to reach. It should not be forgotten that the barbarism of slavery is thoroughly rooted in the mental constitutions of the leading men of the South, and that no amount of conciliation will make them content with the condition of affaira in the South as fixed by the costitutional amendments. It is not to be expected that men who have been accustomed all their lives to seeing the blacks driven and sold like cattle shall look with complacency upon the elevation of the despised race to the condition of freemen and citizens with civil and political rights equal to their own. If Jefferson Davis, disfranchised as he is, delivers himself of speeches in favor-of the lost cause, and uses his mighty influence to keep alive the embers of rebellion by inspiring Southern men with the hope that the South shall yet gain what she failed to accomplish by the rebellion, would he be less defiant if he, and men of his class, were allowed to reinforce such madcaps as Frank Blair in the United States Senate? Jndgingfrom 'he use that such men have hitherto made of the various offices they have held, we suggest that they be permitted to pass the. remainder of their lives in perfect abstinence from all participation in public affairs. Enough, and more than enough, clemency has already been shown to the Southern leaders by our government They phouldd thank the nation every day of their lives that they were not hung, and the slight disabilities imposed upon them should be continued, if for no other reason, that the rising generation may know that treason to the government is net commendable. We do not believe that the teachings and example of this class would.-be any less mischievous if their power for evil was in creased by opening up to them the avenues of political preferment. Instead of using what influence they do possess in endeavoring to pacify the South they secretly foment the lawless spirit that prevails in many -Southern.1 'States, and when deeds of violence multiply they impudently demand amnesty as a condition of obedience to the law. The nation will betray a gceat weakness when it yield# to such demands. For the present one 4uty is plain, the duty of protecting men of ajl classes in the South in the enjoyment of free speech, untrammeled suffrage, and the unrestrained enjoyment of li/e anJ: property. Until patriotic, law abiding men in the South have these blessingav the country can well afford to dispense with the official services of those whose characters are blackened with treason and perjury. Let us have,peace first—amnesty afterward,

THE (JREENCASTLE HOMICIDE,

Full Particulars of the Affair.

Correspondence Indianapolis Journal.

Gkeencastle,

April 18.—The quiet of

this little city was violently disturbed yesterday evening by the occurrence of a terrible shooting affray, the result of which was the death of Durbin Bowman, eldest son of Dr. Bownjap, President of Asbury University. The shooting was done by Harry Frank, a young farmer living several miles from this place.

From the fact thji.t the accused waived an examination, it is almost impossible to get at a perfectly correct account of the affair, for at present th^rq, are as many versions afloat as there were witnesses of it. But comparing all the reports that we have heard, and sifting qpt the most improbable, we have the following as the result:

It appears that yesterday afternoon, about 3 o'clock, Bowman went to the livery stable of Mr. Peck and. borrowed a chair, which he took around the corner into another street. After a. few minutes a colored, man, employed in the livery stable, came after the. chair. Bowman, being somewhat under the influence of liquor, refused to give up the chair. Thereupon high words arose, friends of both parties gathered around, and a general melee ensued, without any serious damage, however. In the meantime the City Marshal appeared and attempted to ar rest Bowman, but found it nncessary to have assistance. A bystander was pre^s ed info the,service and after much trouble Bowman was quieted and marched off towards the jail.

But upon arriving at the jail lie pre vailed upon the Marshal to let him go free, lie then went to Higert's saloon, and went up to the bar and called for a glass of beer, which was refused. Then he asked lor a glass of water, which was given to him. As he was drinking the water, Harry Frank entered the back door of the saloon and came towards the bar. Bowman saw him and mistook him for the man who helped to arrest him on the street. Immediately when he saw him he said, with an oath, "you are the rascal who helped arrest me," and at the same time advanced toward him threatening. When within a few feet of him he threw the glass tumbler which he held in his hand at Frank, hitting him on the head. At this Frank retreated and Bowman followed him with a knife drawn.

After-Frank had retreated some distance he drew a revolver (Smith & Wesson's small size) and told Bowman to stop or he would shoot him. But he did not stop, so Frank fired four shots at him in rapid succession, two of which missed

him, one simply grazed the right side of the abdomen, ana the other penetrated just above the eighth rib. Bowman then leaned against a billiard table near, -and said, "Boys, I guess he's got me this time." It was soon seen that he was mortally wounded. Dr. Fisher, who was called, at once probed the wound, but the ball cound not be found.

He was then carried to his father's residence, where he lin ered, suffering greatly, till 3 o'clock this morning, when death came to his relief.

A post mortem examination revealed that the fatal ball, after entering, abraded the upper cartilage of the eighth rib, passed through the edge of the liver, through both walls of the stomach, and lodged in the spine.

Frank gave himself up to the authorities, waived an examination, and gave bonds of $10,000 to appear before the Court on the 24th instant.

We refrain from giving any of the opinions as to whether the shooting was justifiable or not. All seem to have opinions, but they difler widely. It will be time to determine this when all the facts in the case are brought out berore the Court.

A Talc of a Handkerchief. There is one touching incident in the life of William Wirt. In his younger days lie was the victim of a passion for intoxicating drinks, which seems particularly the bane of our profession. Affianced to a beautiful and accomplished young woman, he had made and broken repeated pledges of amendment, and she, after patiently and kindly enduring disgraceful habit, had at length dismissed him, deeming him incorrigible. Their next meeting, after his dismissal was in a public street in the city of Richmond. William Wirt lay drunk and asleep, on the sidewalk, on a hot summer day, the rays of the sun pouring down on his na covered head, and the flies crawling over lii.s swollen features.

As the young lady approached in her walk, her attention was attracted by the spectacle, strange to her eyes, but alas! so common to others who knew the vie tim, as to attract little remark. She did not at first recognize the sleeper, and was about to hasten on, when she was led by one of those impulses which, form the turning points in human life, to scrutinize his features. What was her emotion when she recognized, in him. her discarded lover! She drew forth her handkerchief and carefully spread it over his face, and hurried away. When Wirt came to himself he found the handkerchief and in one corner the initials of her beloved name. With a heart almost breaking with grief and remorse, he made a new vow of reformation. He kept that vow and married the owner of that handkerchief.

who has written

some of the best essays on modern European politics which have appeared within a decade, has just published a capital paper on the best method of preserving the peace of Europe. Very wisely, the Professor says that so long as France, Germany, Austria, Russia and Great Britain possess armies, just so long will Europe be convulsed by wars. To effect a general disarmament he would have a coalition of all the nationalities of Europe, the great organization to be modeled after our Republic, and be known as the United States of Europe. There is to be a Congress like ours, and State rights are to be merged in Federal rights, and the people to take more pride in the title of European than of Englishman, Frenchman or German. Professor Seely's proposed plan cannot be otherwise than flattering to Americana. But we fear that sevural centuries must elapse before it. can be carried into practical effcct. On

HIGH PRICED STORES MUST

CAB PETS are very cheap this year, an'i we intend the public shall know it and shall get tho benefit o' tho decline. Buy no last year's goods they are diar and very likely motheaten and damaged: Buy only now. clean, fresh goods, and what is tualty important, buy only well known makes. It costs Carpet Stores twenty cents on a dollar for every yitrd of Carpet they sell, and so in order to make anyshowat 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" Car.'Cts-

We keep only the best brands, such as Rifion.s, Lowells and Ilartfords in the grades, of xtra."-"Sailer Extra" and "Super Extra S«:er." and tho vary best makes of "Imperial ee-ply" ana English Tapestry Brussels.

Our Stock is New and Fresh!

Tho greater part of it has arrived within a few days, colors and exquisite in design and as wo
