THE Cincinnati Commercial finds it necessary to "respectfully inform the London Spectator that the River Amazon is not in the United States. We have a river called the Missispdippi. The Spectator may not have beard of it."

THE Lafayette Journal says President GIIANT will arrive on the train from the west, on the Valley RJUI, reaching the Junction about 8 o'clock Wednesday morning, and remain until the departure of the next train going ea*t, at 5.30 r. M.

AN editor subsidized by official patronage is more dangerous, but le.=s disagreeable, than an editor soured by the refusal of official patronage. The former may suppress important truths, while the latter will only fill his columns with silly lies that no one will believe.

WHILE leading Democratic organs are looking about inside the Republican party for a Presidential candidate, it occurs to us that it might be possible for both parties to agree on the same man and thus make a very easy fight in 1872!

SPEAKING of the great Senator from Massachusetts as a Democratic Presidential candidate, the New York Sun innocently remarks that "Some strict and stupid partisans may object to Mr. SOMNER because he has never belonged to the Democratic party."

WANTED.—The highest market price will be paid, either in cash or time paper bearing eighteen per cent, interest, for miscellaneous assortment of creeks, rivulets, pools, puddles, mud-holes, etc., suitable for the reception of bridges. Apply to the reigning member of the Board of Commissioners of Vigo County.

A Dangerous Alliance.

The morning Democratic organ— which has never a word to say against the attempts of the Roman Catholic Church to sectarianize our public schools —copies a long article from the Vincennes Sun, designed to show what great friends the Catholics are to the free school system, as if "all the world and the rest of mankind" did not know that the Roman Catholic Church is the malignant enemy, not only of our free schools, but of popular education in any form.

But there is better authority on this subject than the Sun, or the Jburnal, and we call the Catholic World into court to testify in this case. From the current number of this accredited organ, we take this testimony, and ask all friends of education to read it: "The best ordered and best administer* ed State is that in which the few are well educated and lead, and the many are trained to obedience, are willing to be directed, content to follow, and do not aspire to be leaders."

This is the doctrine of priest-craft, and king craft. The divine right of kings to rule couM not be asserted in more distinct terms. We quote again from the

Catholic World: "In extending education, and endeavoring to have all to be leaders, we have only extended presumption, pretention, conceit, indocility and brought incapacity to the surface." "Everybydy sees it, feels it, but few have the courage to avow it in face of an intolerant and tyranical public opinion."

We might fill columns with similar quotations from the Oaiholic World before us. Comment is unnecessary. They express the animus of the Papal church. It is in direct antagonism to the genius of libertv—a doctrine upon which monarchies rest, and only can rest.

And the Democratic party is allied with this church to break down free schools. The attempt has been made in many cities, including our own, and will not soon be abandoned.

While the Democratic party is dependent far its very existence on the votes of Catholics, it cannot and dare not refuse compliance with the demands of that church. And what are these demands? .Let the Catholic Telegraph. Bishop PCR* CELL'S home organ, answer. It says: "The secular school system is a social cancer, presaging the death of national morality, devouring the little sense of religion that Protestantism instills into its believers the tooner it is destroyed the better. It will be a glorious day for

Catholics in this country when under the blotcs of justice and morality, our school system inil be skivered to piece*."

We solemnly warn you, friends of free schools in Terre Hante, that the alliance of which we have spoken intends to 'Vhiver in pieces" our grand system of secular free schools.

WE HOPE there will be such au audience at the Opera House this evening a* will convince all skeptics that the people of Terre Haute acre capable of appreciating a grand combination of great artists.

What the Democraite Party Will Do.

Every voter in this city knows full well that not only great local question, are at stake in the pending municipal canvass, but that the result will have an important bearing on the State and National canvass of next year. A Democratic success in our city election will add many votes to the poll of that party in theccunty, Stale and National elections of '72. And every man who does not desire that the country should again be consigned to the party that tried to destroy the Government, will see to it that his whole duty is performed in an honest effort to place the Republican party in contiol of our municipal affairs.

The dangers of a Democratic success were partially portrayed in Senator MOBTON'S speech, at Indianapolis, on Saturdayjnight. He showed—as we all knowthat a great great portion of its strength is in the South, and if it succeeds it must succeed by carrying all the Southern States. There is scarcely a chance of its success, even leaving things in the North as they now are, without its carrying every Southern State and if they do the South will have a majority and a control, ling power in the party. Now, what will they do? The Senator undertook to mention, two or three things that he thought they were very sure to do, and we agree with him, for we don't see how they can help it. lie believes, in the first place the Democratic party being in power, with a controlling interest in the South, will nevet consent to pay the soldiers of the North or their widows and orphans pensions except upon the conditions that the rebel soldiers, their widows and orphans, are paid upon the same footing. They will not voluntarily tax themselves to pension our wounded soldiers, and our soldiers' widows and orphans while they are left unprovided for. Therefore should they have the power to say whether taxes shall be levied or not—whether appropriations shall be made or not? for you may rely upon it with absolute certainty that no bill will be passed authorizing pensions to be paid Northern soldierrf except Southern soldien»%re included on the same footing. And if they cannot do this they will refuse to vote taxes for pensions at all. We may receive that with just as much certainty ai anything else that has not happened.

And again, argues MORTON, if in power will they voluntarily tax themselves to Vaise money to pay the interest and principal on the national debt that was contradfed for their subjugation? We might almost ask you to put yourselves in their places. They certainly will not. When they have the power to say whether taxes shall be levied or not for that purpose they will not tax themselves to the amount of one cent to pay your debt unless they get some sort of compensation —unless they get something in return. And what will they ask? They will ask that their slaves shall be paid for. This charge was made in Washington—it was made upon the floor of the United States Senate, and it was made under such circumstances recently that they are bound to take notice of it and yet they have not dared to deny it in their address, and they have not dared to deny it in any platform in any State north or south. A declaration that the Democratic party under no circumstances will pay the South for their slaves, would be the signal (of its disruption. This has been charged upon them? but they dare not deny it. All they can do is to pass it over in silence- They lost their property they put their money into Confederate bonds, and all was swept away. They lost their slaves, which they valued at many hundreds of millions of dollars, and when they come into power, and you ask them to vote taxes not only upon you, but upon themselves, to pay this debt which was incurred for their subjugation, they will say: "Not one dollar unless you consent to pay us for our slaves."

Now what will the Northern Democracy say with regard to that demand. And what will they say to the Northern Democracy when they make that demand? Why, they will say, "you agreed with us that slavery was wrongfully and unconstitutionally abolished. Was not that proclaimed in all the newspapers, and upon every stump, not only in Indiana, but in ^11 the other States? And did not you unite with us in denouncing Mr. LINCOLN and the Republican party for having wickedly, wrongfully, and unconstitutionally abolished slavery? Certainly. Therefore, having declared for years in public declamations and legions of resolutions, you can not, now that vor. have come into power, refuse to unite with us in doing this simple act of justice according to your own declarations therefore, you must go with us in making appropriations to pay for our slaves, er we will utterly refuse to vote taxes for paying the National debt."

That will be the issue presented when the Democratic party shall come into power."

In view of the gravity of the issues which must so soon be met, who can overestimate the importance of placing the influence of this city on the right side?

STEAMER DISABLED.

LONDON, April 24.—The steamer City of Limerick, which left Liverpool on Saturday, is at Queenstown disabled, with a thousand passengers, and must repair before proceeding. EXCITEMENT AMONG MATCH MANUFAC

TURERS.

An immense number of match manufacturers and their employes, bearing petitions against the proposed match excise, filled the neighborhood,T)f the Parliament building this afternoon, and crowded the approaches to the House of Commons. A strong force of police was on the ground, and succeeded in maintaining order, although the crowd was noisy and turbulent. A large procession from East London approaching the Parliament yard, was dispersed by the police, to prevent danger from accumulation of such masses of people.

NOUSE OF COMMONS.

In the House of Commons, George Dixon, member for Birmingham, gave notice of a motion against the tax on matches, at the same time he argued to demonstrate the fallacy of Lowe's reasons for expecting a larger revenue from increasing activity of cotton fabrics, and diminishing the price of cotton. The sum total demanded by the government, he said, was inordinate and unexampled in time of peace. Other members denounced the proposals of the budget, as unduly interfering with every department of industry. Lowe replied that we pointed to the postponement of the army regulation bill, as calculated to diminish demands and remove features of the budget which were- objected to, but generally defended his recommendation, and •specially that for the match tax, because that impost bore equally on all classes of society.

33 FOREIGN DISPATCHES. NEW YORK, April 24.—A special from Paris at a late hour last night says the well known cafe Quetery is closed.

were immediately shot. The wife was instantly killed, and Melton fatally, and his daughter dangerously wounded. Melton was collector of delinquent taxes.

FROM THE MINING REGION.

A dispatch from Pottsville, Pa., says that at the district meeting of the Workingmen's Benevolent Association cn Sat* urday evening, a preamble and resolutions were adopted, slating, that,

WHEREAS, railroad and mining corporations have combined with our employers to crush us beneath the level of plantation slaves or Russian serfs, by offering for our services a stipend scarcely enough to keep body and soul together, and

WnEREAS,

it is our duty to contend

against all forms of oppression and injuries, and WHEREAS, the merchants of St. Clair have materially .aided us by furnishing provisions and other necessaries of life during our struggles, therefore we protest against such unlawful combinations of railroad and mining corporations with our employers, as injuries to the community at large, and disastrous to individual coal enterprises,and will eventually result in accession of unlawful power by these corporations, and in oppression of the poor of our cities by charging exorbitant rates for coal. The resolutions further thank friends and merchants for pecuniary assistance, and express satisfaction with Judge Elwell as umpire.

No objection would probably be made to this course, provided American papers and reports on the subject be admitted afe evidence in the case. This would, without doubt, secure the award of the Island to us, as no American statesman of any party, who is versed in international law, believes that Great Britain has any claim on it.

CREVA8SE.

NEW ORLEANS, April 24.—Assistant State engineer Hatch, writing yesterday from Bonnet Carre crevasse says, it is now from six hundred to six hundred and fifty feet wide, and avast volume of water rushes through with a roar like thunder, piling itself in the middle in the form of an arch, of which the centre is five or six feet higher than the sides. The torrent has cut its channel through the front batture fifty feet, while steadily foot by foot, the great levoe crumbles into its boiling waters. The closing of this crevasse is beyond the range of possibilities, so the next best thing is to prevent, if possible, the widening of the breach.

A continuous body of water extends from here to Lake Ponchartrain, and for many miles above and below the disaster is great and deplorable, and is beyond the reach of remedy, as every one who has seen il admits. The following telegram has been received at the executive office of the Western Union Telegraph Company:

LOUISVILLE, April 24.—Hon, William Orton, President—The crevasse which occurred in the levee of the Mississippi River at Bonnet Carre, above New Or leans, some days ago, has been gradually increasing in extent until it is now entirely beyond control. It was last evening 650 feet wide and 18 deep. The daner of the city of New Orleans, Jackson

Northern Pacific Railroad

RAPID PROGRESS OF THE WORK

Tho building of the Northern Pacific Railroad, (begun July last.) is being pushed forward with great energy from both extremities of tho line. Several thousand men aro employed inMinnosota and on the Pacific coast. The grade is nearly completed SS66 miles westward from Lako Superior trains aro running over ISO miles of finished road, and track-laying is rapidly progressing toward the eastern boarder of Dakota. Including its

of the St. Paul St Pacifio Koad, the

orthcrn Pacific Company new has 413 miles of completed road, and by September next this will be increased to at least SCO.

A fciOOB INVESTMENT. Jay Cooke & Co. are now selling, and unhesitatingly recommend, as a Profitable and rerfectjy Safe investment, tho First Mprtgage Land Grant Gold Bonds of tho Northern Pacific Railroad Company. They have SO years to run, bear Seven and Three-Tenths per cent, gold interest (more than 8 per cent, currency) and arc secured by first and only mortgage on the EXTIAK KOAD AND PS KQUIPV1NTS, and also," as fast as the road is completed, on 23,000 ACRES OF £ABfl» to every mile of track, or 5*® Acres for oach 91,000 Bond. They are exempt from U. S Tax: Principal and interest are payable in Gold, Denominations: Coupons, 8100 to $1,000 Registered, $100 to $10,000.

LANDS FOB BONDS. Northern Pacific 7-30's are at all times receivable at TKS rut CKST. ABOVK PAR. in exchange for the Company's Lands, at their lowest cash pnee. This renders them practically ISTISMT BIARISO UKDTARIASTS. 8INK1NU FUND. Tho proceeds of all sales of Lands are required to be devoted to the re-purchase and cancellation of the iirst Mortgage Bonds of the Company. The Land Grant of the Road exceeds Fifty Million Acres. This immense Sinking Fund will undoubtedly cancel tho principal of the Company's bonded debt before it falls due. With their ample secarity aid high rate of interest here is no investment accessible to tho people, which is more PROFITARLIC OK SIFK.
