"LONG STRIKE" at the Opera House lo-night. ,,

THE Journal tells of a horse twenty years old. That animal is youihful compared with some we know of. For instance: Elvin J. Brown, who resides about 2] miles southeast of the city, has a horse thirty years old still on active duty.

THE Common Pleas Court was in session yesterday morning, but nothing worthy of note transpired. The docket for the second and third days was called, motions were heard, causes set down fc^-tri. al and some Probate business was dispatched. The docket for the fourth and fifth days will be called tcrday..

A SPECIAL TRAIN from Evansville, last evening, brought, up. Messrs J. N. McCuliough, William Thaw, D. S Gray and William,Stewart, prominent railroad men who have been visiting Euansville in the interest of the proposed Evansville, Seymour & Sandusky Railroad. John E Martin, Secretary and Treasurer of the Evansville & Crawfordsville Railroad also came up. The entire party registered at the Terre Haute House.

OPERA HOUSE—Our people take with avidity to the sensational drama, but in addition to being sensational the play must be new hence it was that "Frou Frou," which has been played here several times bv Katie Putnam, did not draw so good an audience last night as that on the first evening. Still, the audience was bv no means small, and the drama was most charmingly rendered, Miss Price and the excellent company supporting her giving the liveliest satisfactions Tonight will be given the great sensation, entitled "The Long Strike," which had such an immense, run in.all the eastern cities, and we expect to see a full house. Seats may be secured during the day at B. G. Cox's.

MORE SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENTS.— Col. Dowling has sold the two lots north of Dowling Hall—the corner to J. B. Hill & Co., of Charleston, Ills., who will erect a building for the purpose of dealing largely in provisions. The lot adjoining the Hall has been purchased by Clift & Williams, who will erect a building for the establishment of a builder's warehouse. The corner lot sold for $125 per foot front, and the other for $100, the two lots bringing as much as Mr. Dowling paid lor the entire block, including where Dowling Hall now stands.

TnE OPERA.—A magnificent audience is gathering for the second coming of the English Opera Combination, on Tuesday evening next. The sale of seats was opened yesterday morning, and before evening all the balcony seats were sold, nearly all the orchestra seats were taken, a large number of the dre^s circle,. and many in the family circle.

The latter seats are really the most desirable in the house for an operatic performance with an orchestra as strong as that accompanying the Opera Combination, as from this location the instrumental music does not present so great a barrier between the vocalists and the hearers.

We learn that arrangements have been perfected with the railroads to accommodate the people of the surrounding towns, and large delegations are being made up in most of them. An audience equal, if not greater than that which attended the Nilsson Concert, may now be counted on.

The Solid Men-of Terre Haute. Would yon like to see them? If you would, just rise^in the morning and be on the street by six o'clock and you will see them araed.with a tin pail and probably some tool or implement of their handicraft snd wending their way to their place of bnsiness, determined by honest labor to provide for their loved ones at home. These are the •solid men of Terre Haute or any other place, and who intend to govern this county, city, ^State, and nation in the interest of civilizJation and humanity, and will commence to roll the ball by electing Alexander Thomas, Mayor of this city not because of his political proclivities, but because he is one of us and we know him to be honest and true and we will fill all the other offices, whether city, State or nation with the same kind of men who will make and administer laws for the benefit of the people and not in the? interest of thieves and loafers. Would you like to see those who oppose the solid men of the country, if you would, get on the thoroughfares by nine o'clock and yon will see them assemblingat street corners and at doggery doors, some discussing Hulman's last run of low wines.some with their heads thrown back and their chins stuck out and their backs humped up, pulling like a dog at a root and striving to draw smoke through a role of dirty tobacco, some praying and some prophesying whose prayers, we doubt, will be answered and their prophecies fu'lfilled unless they mend their ways. These things oppose the election of Mr. Thomas or any other lionestfltnan to office.

LABORER.

THE FROST KING, is the appropriate name of the most elegant and costly soda fountain ever brought to this State, and one that would attract attention in any city. It was received at Buntin & Madison's drugstore yesterday, from the manufacturers, Wm. Matthews, New York, through Mr. S. R. Baker, agent for this city, at a cost of two thousand dollars. It is made of Tennessee marble, profusely and elegantly trimmed with heavy silver plating is four feet wide, and five feet from the base to the top of the Gothic roof. It has an endless variety of pipes and other arrangements for cooling soda, and looks more like a beautiful temple than an ordinary soda fountain. It will be put in position by Saturday.

CITY FINANCES.

Import «f the Finance Oonimitief.

To The Council Last Night.

The undersigned, members of the Finanee Committee, in obedience to a resolution passed at the meeting held on the 4tli of April, 1871, beg leave to submit a report of the financial condition of the city of Terre Haute, a3 a municipality, on lie first day of April, instant.

The Committee start the fiscal year on the 1st day of April, 1S70, and end it on 'the 31st dav of March, 1871, as was the case in the two preceding annual reports. The receipts and expenditures for the present month of April cannot be known, and hence the necessity of including the twelve monthsjreceding the 1st day of March of this year. This order is necessary to enable the Committee to submit its report, and to give the Council an opportunity of having the same spread before the people of the city before the 1st of May.

In submittinglhlf repSrt, the Committee think that a full exhibit of the receipts and expenditures can be best understood by placing them under appro, priate heads, and giving the nature of the^e expenses to the public. It will enable the reader to see, at a glance, the source of revenue and thecharacter of the payments. For this purpose the Committee submit the following tables:

The amount charged to the "specific expenses" requires explanation. It looks large, and is made up of many small items of expenditure. But a few of them embrace nearly the whele paid out.

Assets over liabilities

economical than the employment Qf public money to accomplish great undertaking*. J3ome two years agp, the citizens of Terre Haute petitioned the^Council to aid the Terre Haute, Danville and Chicago Railroad Company with the credit of the city. In accordance with that request, the city authorities issued $100,000 of its bonds, and the proceeds have been wisely expended on the work. This is oar entire bonded debt, the Normal School indebtedness being in rapid course of redemption, by the taxes of 1870. This railroad enterprise is highly valued," and its management strong in the confidence of our people. The Committee have faith that everv dollar placed in it 'will come back to the city, and that, in five years, it will pay a dividend on the stock held by the city government, i"

We have gone over the accounts of» the City Treasurer, and find them correct in all essential particulars, with vouchers and papers properly and accurately kept. The same tribute is due to the City Clerk and hfe Deputy. We found all things in order in both departments of the City government^

This report, at the close of another year, is made as a dntv to the people represented in the Council. They have a right to know what has been done with the means furnished- by taxation. How much money comes into the City Treasury, and how the same is disposed of, are questions of the first imporsance. If those who contribute, taxes to the support of National, State, County and Municipal governments could thoroughly understand for what purposes these contributions had been expended, it is quite certain that the tax-payers would demand a limit-to be placed upon wasteful expenditures. It is pleasant to know that Terre Haute has as much assets as she has liabilities, and that she has the means to pay all she owes. She has no bonded debt to stare her present or future inhabitants in the face, and the business man, the manufacturer, and the capitalist can come within our borders without the dread of municipal confiscation.'While conscious of no improper use of the powers delegated to us as a Council, it would be hazardous to say that no errors had been committed. Each and all of us feel ah inward consciousness however, that we have* endeavored to serve the city faithfully, and to spend no more of its funds than was necessary to ensure peace, order, security, cleanli ness, and good morals within its borders

Respectfully submitted: Tiios. DOWLING, 1 W. II. SCUDDER, Fin. Com. 'V J.B. IIAGER,

TAXES.—The receipts at the County and City Treasurer's offices on Saturday and Monday—the last days for tax-pay-ing—were quite heavy. The City Treasurer took in about$21,000,and the County Treasurer swelled his amount to near $43,000. a

And the city has assets over liabilities of $41,871 04 This is the condition of our city finances on the first day of April, 1871. It is quite satisfactory to the Council, and will be, we trust, to the tax-payers and inhabitants of Terre Haute. It is gratifying to know that there has been nothing omitted to keep our young city from a laige municipal debt, and that Terre Haute stands to-day singularly favored in this respect. While cities of less wealth and credit have rushed blindly into pecuniary obligations, and piled up a bonded debt against their citizens, it has been the policy of our City Council, for many years, to avoid the example thus set before them. The crying evil of our times is the disposition of municipal bodies to enlarge their own powers and patronage, and for a certain class of people to expect that all great enterprises should have city aid. There is, indeed, in all public affairs, not enough committed to private enterprise and private capital, which is always more effective and

A Friend said to us the other day, "you have done more for the business interests of Terre Houte in one year than all tile other Dry Goods stores put together have in five years. You have increased the trade of Terre Haute more than half a million of dollars during the past year, for people who have come to buy Dry Goods of you, have bought boots and shoes of me and hats and clothing and hardware, groceries, and stoves &c., of my neighbors, all of which trade would otherwise have remained at home and been lost to Terre Haute." We are glad to know that this is so, but we do not forget that without the Rupport of the people we could have done nothing. Wednesday,. April 26th we propose to show our appreciation ot their kindness. ,.„.JOSTER BROTHERS,
