CANE PRESENTATION.—Last evening a number of the German friends of City Marshal Schmidt presented him with a cane admirably adapted for use in his official duties. The presentation speech, by Mr. Filbeck, was a very happy effort, and Marshal Schmidt's reply was just what the occasion required. This presentation was supplemented by the gift of a silver whistle from Otto Wittenberg to the new Marshal.

THE match game of billiards for $500, to come off at Dowling Hall next Tuesday evening, between Mr. Harry Golden, of Mattoon, and Mr. C. A.

A SUPPOSED BURGLAR SHOT!—Yesterday morning about three o'clock, Capt. Jabez Smith, who resides on south Fourth street, discovered a man at his bed room window, apparently attempting to effect an entrance. Mr. Smith quietly got out of bed, and taking down a double barreled shot gun, loaded with small bird shot, went out at tii« front door, where he saw the man pass around to the rear of the house. Mr. S. followed, and failing to elicit an answer on calling him, fired one charge from the gun. The man gave a cry of pain and started to run, but on being told that the other charge in the gun would follow him if he didn't stop, gave himself up and was marched to the Station House. Here it was discovered that the greater portion of the charge had taken cffect in the hand, lacerating it badly, while several shot had entered one of Lis legs. His injuries although painful are not necessarily serious.

On being taken before the Mayor yesterday morning he stated that he had no burglarious intentions, but having imbibed too freely, he was searching for a place to sleep.

The Davis family will assist in the singing at the evening service.

PLYMOUTH CHAPEL.—That portion of our city lying between Tenth and Four" teenth streets, extending north to Main and south to the blast furnace, is being settled very fast, by an industrious and intelligent class of people. One great need of theirs is being supplied in Sabbath School instruction and preaching, by the efforts now made at Plymouth Chapel, which is centrally located. This commodious and attractive house, it will be remembered, was dedicated some four months since. The Sunday School has been sustained there with growing numbers and interest, by eertian zealous ladies and gentlemen, mostly of the Congregational CLurch. Preaching services have been inaugurated, and will be continued into the summer, looking to the eventual formation of a church. Such will soon be a necessity for the gathering population who will be here, at considerable distance from any other house of worship.

To-morrow (Sunday,) preaching may be expected there at 11 A. M. and 4\ p. M., by Rev. O. D. Crawford, who has charge of the mission. A special invitation is extended to all persons living in the vicinity described.

BELL RINGERS-—The.Peak Family of Swiss Bell Ringers, who are now making their thirty-third annual tour, will give a concert at the Opera House to-night. This organization has met with unusual success, the secret of which is that they deserve it. The name of the Peak Family is familiar to every school boy. Besides the bells, the entertainment is varied by vocal and instrumental music. To show the character of the entertainment we reprint the following from the Detroit Advertiser and Tribune:

Last evening the Peak Family Bell Ringers gave the first of two concerts at the Opera House. Since the company visited our city last, it ha* been enlarged and strengthened by the addition of some well known and talented artists. The house last evening was crowded and the audience manifested their appreciation oi the most excellent parts of the performance by repeated encores. The performance wa3 opened by playing "Governor Morgan's March," in which the entire company participated. A duet called "The Fisherman," was sung by Miss Louise Yescelius and Wm. K. Lavake, with much vivacity and considerable expression. The "Budget of Mirth," sung by "Jeppo," was irresistible, and the audience fairly roared with laughter. The "Staff Bell Duet," by Fannie and E. S. Peak is something novel, and from its effect is an improvement on the movable bells. Mr. Lavake sang his original ballad, "Little Foot steps," and it was received with deserved commendation. The "Flowers of Spring," played bv the company, was encored, as was also" the "Tyrolese Song," sung by Miss Louise Yescelius. who, in reply sang the "Last Rose of Summer" in a most exquisite manner. Other pieces followed, and the whole was closed by the Grand Finale of "Bell Medley upon Table Bells" by the entire company. The whole performance was entertaining and entirely satisfactory throughout, and it is expected that the house will be filled again at the entertainment to be given to night."

A CARD.—It having been charged that I voted for Thomas Dowling and John T, Scott, I wish to most emphatically deny the same. The only Democrat I ever voted for was twenty-five years ago, and that was Owen Craig, of Vermillion county. WM. BARRICK.

ANOTHER CARD.—The above funny announcement appears in the EXPRESS of yesterday. What does it mean? As Mr. Barrick does not live in the Fourth Ward, he could not have voted for me, where only I have been a candidate since Mr. B.'s residence in Terre Haute. His dis. claimer is, therefore, unnecessary, not to say offensive. I did vote for Mr. Barrick for Street Commissioner, in 1868, at his request, and by my own free choice, and have not been ashamed of that vote heretofore. His "card" makes me doubt its propriety now, for it has not a manly look. If it is necessary for his present success, before the new Council, to "go back" on his old friends and neighbors) he can go ahead and swear that he never spoke to or knew me. I will say to Capt. Barrick, however, that fifty or seventy five as good, if not better Republicans than he did vote for me in the Fourth Ward, and thev are not ashamed of it to this day. TnoMAS DOWLING.

MaylS, 1S71. "Cheap Insurance," is often tne most expensive for it is plain if an Insurance Company does not receive adequate pay for the risks it takes, it can not pay the losses. If a merchant sells his goods below cost, and sticks to it long, he tri// certainly fail. The cases are parallel, when you insure you seek security as the one great thing, and when you have it you should be willing to pay for it. An .•Etna policy is better than legal tender. Get one of Hager & McKeen if you have not al read done so.

By Mr. Hagen That this Council can not separate without placing upon its re cords this testimony as to the ability and integrity with which Mayor Cookerly, as presiding officer, has conducted its busi ness.

By Mr. Dowling: That the thanks of this Council are due and are hereby tendered to Daniel L. Vickery and John B. Tolbert, the City Clerk and his depu-. ty, for their promptness and accuracy in the discharge of their duty, and that the members present wish them abundajQt success in all their future pursuits. Con curred in.

MAYOR COOKERLY's VALEDICTORY. Mayor Cookerly then arose and said: Gentlemen of the Council:—The time has arrived when by the operation of law your body must adjourn sine die and when I must surrender up my position in accordance with the will ot the people, I cannot refrain, gentlemen, and I do it with pleasure, from expressing to you individually and collectively my heartfelt thanks for the many acts of kindness you have bestowed upon me during our official intercourse neither can I let this occasion pass, without bearing testimony to your fidelity and efficieucy in the dis charge of the duties incident to your poei tions. I am well satisfied that each and every one of you have been dictated alone by the desire to advance the public interest, and promote the prosperity of our rapidly growing city.

I am well aware that your labors have been arduous and involving great respon sibility, but, being equal to the emergency, you have had tnS manhood and ability to perform the one and encounter the other energetically and fearlessly.

You have made a record of which you may well be proud and which will stand as a monument to your capacity, fidelity and honor as guardians ot the peoples' welfare and the various interest of the city. Having said this much, gentlemen, permit me to say of myself, that, as the executive and judicial officer combined of this city, I have tried to discharge my duty within the law, at all times and under all circumstances if I have erred, and I can not doubt I have, for "to err is human," it has not been from any intention to do wrong, but the result of a mistaken judgment.

That I have taken great pride in the rapid growth and development of the city, I presume all will acknowledge. In common with you, gentlemen, I have la-' bored to promote the general prosperity and to foster and encourage every enterprise calulated to bring wealth, honor and prosperity to our beloved city.

Our Free Schools which we all love and appreciate so highly, and which stand today unrivaled in the land, have ever received my official support. As the executive and presiding officer of this Council, I have never failed, when necessary, to give my vote and influence to promote the progress and efficiency of our schools. As in my official capacity I have been a fast and firm friend, so I shall be as a citizen, in the future, and take occasion here to say, that should an effort ever be made to divert the school fund, or any part of it, from Its legitimate ohannels, no matter from what quarter nor'

by phom, I shall oppose it to the hitler end. I trust and believe that no serioT» effort yrill ever be made, looking to a division of the school fund, by any sect or party. By the Constitution of thn State' no such Ihiiw could ever be done, and I am quite confident that no change^touching this matter will ever be made in that instrument.

The sentiment of the people is too firmly fixed in favor of the system as it Is, and any attempt to change it, would be met with scorn and indignation by them.

Our schools constitute our true glory, and I call upon the people of Terre Haute to stand by them if every other interest should perish, preserve, at every hazard, your schools, where the infant and the youth can go and learn lessons of virtue, morality and wisdom.

Perish he who would raise his sacriligious hand against them. The school fund exist#, houses have been erected, competent teacheni employed, and the doors thrown open to all who desire to receive the benefits flowing therefrom. They who refuse to enter and enjoy them lo^es an opportunity to lay the foundation for future usefulness. It is useless for me to attempt a recital of the blessings conferred through the influence of our public schools, as they can readily be seen and appreciated by all. No argument is essential to recommend them. The system originated in the grand conception of master minds, and was firmly established by wisdom and patriotism.

As presiding officer of your body, I believe I can say, without being charged with egotism, that I have been prompt in the discharge of my duty, and am satisfied that I have been entirely impartial. I have been courteous to all, and now part with you entertaining toward each one, the highest regard aud the kindest of feeling. I shall ever remember our intercourse with the liveliest emotions of pleasure and gratitude.

To the people, among whom I have lived so long, I tender my grateful acknowledgments for their kindness toward me in the past. In after life shall revert back to my connection with the affairs of the city, as constituting the happiest period of my life. I need not assure them that I am proud of oui city and delight in its growth and prosperity. As I have been in the past, so 1 will be in the future. I shall, so long as life lasts, rejoice in het advancement, and do all I can as a private citizen to further her progress. We have everything to encourage us in our onward career. Our railroad facilities, coal and manufacturing interests are increasing and developing all the time, and I confidently cherish the hope that at no distant day this beautifully located city will joutraiik any in the State.

Let enterprise be encouraged, capital invited, and the people united tor the common good, and ail will be well. That such may be the case I fondly hope. Whatever may be our differences about religion or politics, or whatever may be our condition in life, let us all- stand by, and be for Terre Hante.

Gentlemen, I am happy to know that to those who succeed us, we deliver up the city in a healthy and good condition, both financially and morally. It is my judgment that no city in the State, near the same number of people, can show so good a record. While some of our people have complained of high taxation, yet, I believe it to be true, that the taxes here have been less than any other place approximating anywhere near us in point of population. I re!er to this .to demonstrate the fact, that the city government has been administered with prudence and economy. Of the cfficers, with 'whom 1 have been associated for the past two years, I must be permitted to say, that they have discharged their duty well, and I tender them my sincere thanks for the same.

Now, gentlemen, wishing you all prosperity in the future and hoping that the blessing of God may attend you, I declare this Council adjourned sine die and bid you all farewell. G. F. COOKERLY,

Mr. Cookerly then vacated the Chair, and introduced Alexander Thomas as the Mayer elect for the ensuing two years. The other city officers and Coun oilmen also came forward and took their stations.

MAYOR THOMAS' INUGURAL. On taking the Chair His Honor Mayor Thomas said: Gentlemen of the Common Council:

Before entering upon the duties of the various offices that we have been each elected to fill, I desire to say that honored as we have been by the voters this city, and entrusted with the responsibilities of our several offices, w« should all strive, by careful and complete discharge of duty, to merit the public trust, and justify thje confidence reposed in us by our fellow citizens.

For myself 1 shall endeavor to discharge the various duties incumbent on me to the best of my ability, and will most heartily join you in all things appertaining to the happiness, prosperity and general welfare of our beautiful city.

While it is a duty of the Mayor to exercise a supervision over subordinate officers, those who have been elected with me by the voice of the people, have the same accountability that the Mayor has, and will doubtless discharge the duties of their several offices with fidelity, and will act in accord with each other for the general good of all.

There are several offices it will be incumbent on you to fill. In the discharge of this important duty, care should be taken in the selection of such. person.) only, as will cheerfully and faithfully perform every duty belonging to their respective stations, shrinking from none, and who will fully co-operate with you in striving to make our administration of municipal affairs acceptable to our fellow citizens. Personal favoritism should be eschewed, and fitness for the position should be the only recommendation required.

There is due to the tax-payers, from the Committee on Finance, careful attention to the public money, and that frequent reports be made to the Council and through the Council to the public, that the people may at all times be advised of the manner in which their means are handled and cared for.«

T'tie"Committee on Streets and Bridges should give careful attention to all things coming within their control, and make Proper estimates of all work required to done, that the public money may be expended in the most economical manner. ^Eh'e Fire Department will claim more of your attention than almost any other Department of the City Government, the efficiency ot which may induce our citizens to invest large sums in the improvement of our city, when, upon the contrary, if we have an inefficient Fire Department, the Chief incompetent, aed his subordinates inattentive to, or regardless of, the great responsibilities resting on them, many thousands, and even millions of our property may be swept away by the devouring flames in a few hours. Therefore the cititehs will be justified in claiming from the Fire Committee, frequent reports of the efficiency, economical management, and general usefulness of this Department, and that none but sober men have employment or control about said Department.

While our very excellent City Schools

are not

immediately under your super

vision, it is desirable that you co-operate cheerfully with the School Trustees in the laudable discharge of their important duties.

While I believe we have all accepted our positions with the intention of honestly and faithfully discharging the resjective duties incumbent on us, I also pe our zeal will continue with us to the d, and, when the time shall come for u« t'o surrender our trust to our success

ors, that our fellow citizens can say, "well done." Mayor Thomas then announced the following

The National Life Insurance Co., of Chicago. MR. EDITOR:—The envenomed article in your issue of the 12th (yesterday) regarding the above insurance company, carries with it its own antidote. For i£ it be true, as the writer declares, that the Auditor of Illinois "has driven from the State" all unsafe and illegal life insurance companies, permitting none to exist excepting those "complying with the laws," the Agent of the yEtna pays the National Life, uninvi^ingly, a gratuitous compliment. The Chronicle, of April Uth, affirms the same, and adds in reference to the National: "The company must pay, in advance, out of its own funds, the assessments, to be collected of its members at some future time." And further remarks: "The Auditor of the State has decided to value the Membership Certificates of the Co-operative as whole life policies,." Thus requiring the National Life in some cases, to place to the credit of a policy a sum greater than it had received. For example, a member pays the company twenty-seven dollars on two memberships, and this decision compels us to place to his credit in our books twentynine dollars more than he has paid us, or even will. Thus the National by this unjust decision of the Auditor, is bound or required to furnish double the security to its policy holders than is demanded of the old line companies in the State of Illi nois. Now, in the name of common sense, we demand of the ^Etnagent, what further guarantee can be rationally re quired by our patron*? When great and sacred public interest are questioned,facts and not deception, ought to be clearly stated.

The National contains the two plans, which ia believed to be the true forms of insurance—the stock and co operative! The Stock Department offers all the forms of insurance common to Stock Companies. The Co-operative Department is designed to offer insurance at the bare cost of death claims—thus affording to the- poor, and to those of moderate means, the opportunity of making provision for the "loved ones," in case ot death! And sadly depraved indeed! must be the heart that can seek, (however feeble the effort) to traduce an institution RO benevolent in its designs. It will be seen, therefore, that no Life Insuranee Company can organize, or do busines in lllinoisi without a deposit of $100,000 with the State Treasurer and an additional deposit from year to year of an amount sufficient to cover all liabilities of the Company. Illinois Companies are thus made by law absolutely safe! See Treasurer's certificate of our deposit! In view of the.above facts, aby waste of time in the denial of statements made by journals, adverse to the l^ational Life, and published by editors in the interest of the old-line companies, would be an insult to the common sense and intelligence of the community. Western Life Insurance Companies have a claim on Western peo pie and ought to have the preference as a matter of self-protection.

During the past year, according to the Commissioner's report,. $11,000,000 were drawn from the State of Illinois alone, through Eastern Life Insurance Companies, to feed Eastern capitalists, and come back to us at twenty per centum—being one fifth of all the banking capital of that State.

As our friend of the "jEtna" leads us into Connecticut, let us see what Hon. Benj. Noise, Commissioner of that State, says in his fifth annual report: "Life insurance companies have now in the hinds of the people about 600,000 policies— whereby they agree to pay $2,000,000,000, and they have accumulated toward meeting their liabilities—about $200,000,000—or 10 cent* on a dollar.

Is the National Life of Chicago, less responsible than these rotten cancers located in the land of "wooden nut megs?" And, yet, says this watchful champion of public protection, "My only object is to warn the public against fraud and de lusion." What an immaculate personification of perfect consistency, when the action itself represented by the said writer, is to day wanting $5,000,000 to meet its liabilities. Mr. Editor, please tell where in the Bible one can find the passage, "Take first the beam, &c., -from thine own eye." Do I quote right?

But we are likewise led into the "old Bay Siate." When Mr. Wright assailed the Cooperative plan of insurance, his opinion was copy-righted. The right to assail us had been patented. We were forced to purchase twenty thousand copies of his pamphlets, that the bane and the antidote might go together. Thus the old line stock companies hive put forth their utmost endeavor to rob the poor of the blessings flowing from the Cooperative plan of the National Life.

The attempt to connect or to associate the National Life, of Chicago, with irresponsible Life Insurance Companies, located either in Illinois or elsewhere, is contemptable below contemptability. We would remark in conclusion, that the profuse quotations compiled with so great care, to produce sensation, are admitted by all, together with Mr. Wright's assertion: "That all the thieves of England never stole half so much money from the people as the old line companies have done."
