THE reading public will be fascinated with another chapter of the CHENEYWHITEHOUSE imbroglio this morning.

CIIAUNCEY BARNES' irial for the murder of Miss DWIQHT, in Lagrange county, last July, will commence this weec.

THE returns indicate that West Virginia will probably have a Constitutional Convention, though the majority for it will be very small, probably not over one thousand.

JEROME BROOKS, the Logan?port murderer, received his sentence last Friday to be hung September 19th. CARR, his comrade in the deed, was sentenced to imprison rfient for life.

IT IS stated that the name* of Rev. Father BENOIT, Rev. Father MARTIN, and Rev. Father O'CONNER, have been forwarded to Rome, as candidates for the office of Bishop of the Fort Wayne diocese.

A MAD BULL, breaking into a Quaker meeting house, while the assembled Friends were waiting for "the spirit" to make itself manifest, might produce a commotion resembling that which BUTLER has stirred up in the staid and decorous old Commonwealth of Ma'sacliupetts.

THE recent luminous decision of the brilliant Attorney General, in relation to the official status of Acting Commissioner DOUGLASS, shows that Mr. ACKERMAN has be£n a close student of DICKENS, and is an ardent admirer of JACK BUNSBYThe popularity of the Attorney General's official productions may not be impaired by their innocence of law.

HERE are some of the gentle courtesies that serenely pass between two prominent Democratic orgari-g.inders:

It is well-known that Mr. Matthews is controlled by high moral principles— that he would scorn to sell his principles for a mess of pottage.—Ind. Sentinel.

Or his character for 008 reams of book paper, or for a voucher for $11,540 50.— New Albany Ledger.

AFTER the just settlement of the question of equal civil and political rights to all, regardless of sex, the great question to agitate the country will be the contest between Labor and Capital.—Mail.

And"then it will be discovered that there is no "contest between labor and capital," bin that they arc mutually and equally dependent.

CLIFF & SON have shipped three boilers to Knightsville recently, and have orders for ten more.—Mail.

And this is a laii indication of the success that is attending all our manufacturing establishments. The car works, foundries, machine shops, blast furnace, nail works, glass works, plow factory, woolen mills, carriage factories, cigar factories, saddle and harness makers, trunk-makers, and a score of other manufacturing interests that don'f occur to us at this moment—all are busy nnd thriv" ing. Many ot them have grown from puny to colossal proportions. They are the sure basis of the enduring prosperity of our city.

Inducing Cerebral Inflammation. The non-departing organ of the Kentucky BOURBONS, takes our Democratic State organ across the knee and spanks it thus:

The Indianapolis "Sentinel," whose position on the Departure is about as indefinite as the disposition of enormous amounts of book paper for which its proprietor stands indicted and bound over in a heavy amount to appear before the court for trial, delivers a column of twaddle concerning one of the stockholders of the "Ledger," because he happens to own a paper in Indiana, whose position with the Democracy of that State rivals the "Sentinel." The strictures are as impertinent as the "high aspirations of the Young Democrat" are disgusting to the true Democracy of the State.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS are, just now, a most prominent feature of telegraphic news. We have, this morning, an account of the throwing of a train off the track of the Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad, by which one person was killed and seventeen wounded. A St. Louis dispatch gives a detailed account of the boiler explosion on the Toledo, Wabash and Western Railroad, which was report ed in Saturday's issue. The St Louis Agent of the Associated Press is always a day too late with his reports. It i» not an unusual thing for us to get long dispatches from him, made up from St. Louis papers received here some hours in advance of his rehash. He belongs to a period antedating the era of the flying lizard.

TnE annual Convention of the Universalis of Indiana has been in session, at Pendleton, forseveral days past. The attendance has been large and the exercises of unusual interest. The annual sermon before the Ministerial Association was preached on Friday evening by Rev. W. W. CURRY. Subject: ."How shall the Universalist pulpit reach and guide the religious life of the age." It was a clear and lucid discussion of the best methods of pulpit power and efficiency.

The report of the State Superintendent shows great activity on the part of the State authorities, and embodies many encouraging facts in regard to the progress of Universalist sentiments in the State. The duty of the State Superintendent is to.visit the churches and Sunday Schools, and to organize Universalism where organization is desirable. Near eeventvfive churches and thirty Sunday Schools are already organized. There are about twenty ministers in the State, their time being divided between the various churches and circuits. Rev. W. W. CUR

RY is the Superintendent, and his work has been so successful that he will be continued in office another year.

TWENTY-FIRST

82-Q

YEAR.

THE time for the fall elections is fast approaching. Are we in Indiana—is the Republican party, preparing for the contest?— Vincennes Times.

It is supposed that the "Times" alludes to "the fall elections" of 1872, although the language employed would imply otherwise. It is not too early to "prepare for the contest," and the best preparation is the presentation of facts. We believe that if a correct history of the doings of the last-General Assembly—its sins of omission and commission—were placed in the hands of every voter in Indiana, before the formal opening of the campaign, the result would be the sure and overwhelming defeat of the Democratic pa.-ty. No party, in any State, has ever made so damaging a record as has the Indiana Democracy, and with that record fairly

given to the people, for their calm consideration before the excitement of the canvass engenders ill feeling and distrust, the doom of Indiana Democracy will be sealed. Believing this, we have already given our readers that history, stating as clearly and concisely as possible the facts on which the Republican party will make the contest of '72, so far a* State affairs are concerned. An/ writer or speaker who will collate and present the terrible array of misdeeds wrought by the Indiana Democracy, with the disastrous consequence1) resulting therefrom, will present an indictment before which even the brazen-faced "prisoner at the bar,"—old offender as he is—will tremble and turn pale. Fortunately for the Republican party and for the future of this State, our opponents have put into oui* hands more weapons than we will need to compass their overthrow. But these weapons facts—should be used early, while the public mind is calm enough to give them due consideration. Don't let us make the miserable blunder of postpoaing until next September the work that ought to be done now. Don't let us so innult popular intelligence as to put our main reliance on torchlights, gunpowder, brass bands and imported wind-bags. The pres3 is the power that rules this country, and the party that will make the wisest use of this power must succeed.

THE construction of waterworks, at Brazil, will meet the one great want so long and deeply felt by the Manufacturers of that thriving town. We are glad to see there, and elsewhere, throughout this saction of our State, evidences of a determination to push ahead in the path of progress. With facilities lor growth and development such as the most entlius:astic can hardly overestimate, there is no reason why every city, town, village and hamlet in, or within easy reach of, the block coal region, should not advance in prosperity with rapid strides. There is no occasion for local jealousies. The supply of mineral wealth is more than sufficient for all demands for centuries to come. Those who make the greatest efforts, will be the most successful. If Terre Haute does not hold her own, in this race, it will be her own fault. Her position and advantages—present and prospective—of communication, by rail and river, with all parts of the country, make it easy for her to lead all competitor. Should she fail to do this, she will have no envy for successful rival".

THE "Mail" notes the fact that "FITZ HUGH LEE and other rebel officers have issued a call for an organization of the rebel army of Northern Virginia, for the purpose of preparing a history of its operations in the rebellion, and taking steps to have a monument erected to the memory of the late ROBERT E. LEE," and adds: "This is a good opportunity for the "Express" to tell us by what lawful process these Virginia rebels can be prevented from thus celebrating the memories of their recent iniquities."

The editor of the "Mail" certainly knows that the EXPRESS has never contended that an organization for the purpose of preparing history and erecting a monument, to the memory of a dead comrade or commander, should be suppressed. If these rebels will confine their operations to the business indicated in the call, their work will not menace the public peace, and there will, therefore, be no occasion to interfere with it. It seems next to impossible for our neighbor to avoid misrepresenting, in some way, the position of an opponent.

THE accumulation of colossal fortunes by VANDERBILT, PACKER, STEWART and others, is viewed with alarm by the "Mail." If the editor of that sprightly journal lives to mature age, he will chronicle the demise of all these "money kings," and the cutting up of their estates into small fragments. Under our laws there is no danger of all the property getting into the hands of a few men. It is very seldom that an estate continues to increase through two generations. As a rule, the hoarded piles of the father are scattered by his children.

NEW ORLEANS.

HEALTH OF THE CITY.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 3.—An official note from Dr. Russell, Secretary of the Board of Health, states that there is not a case of yellow fever in New Orleans. The Picayune on the sanitary condition of the city says, a providential interposition, perhaps, has kept sickness from our doors. The health of the city has been preserved in the face of the most utter disregard of sanitary precautions. The canals are rank with impurity, and vegetation green and rank covers their surface, and decay and fester beneath the hot rays of the sun.

POLITICAL.

Horace Greeley this morning publishes a reply to the late communication of the chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, A. B. Cornell, in which he asserts that the action of the State Central Committee in the direction of reorganization of the party of this city, was an unwarrantable interference with the local organization, and was founded on a desire to advance the interests of Federal officeholders, rather than the interests of the Republican party. The Central Committee has not tendered to secure any adjustment of local differences, which should properly be determined by the State Convention. The charges of Mr. Cornell, that Greeley's committee was made up mainly of Republican office-holders under the city government, is answered by the charge that of a hundred and fortyseven delegates elected to Cornell's Central Committee, nearly fifty are Federal office-holders. Mr. Greeley in conclusion demands retraction of falsehoods in Cornell's letter.

THE EPISCOAL SQUABBLE.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21. —Albert Crane, Junior warden of Christ Church, prints in'the evening papers a column and a half in reply to the recent letter of Bishop Whitehouse, of the same length, in which he gives his version of the affair, and in many essential particulars contradicts the statements made by the Bishop in his account of the interview between the two- Mr. Crane cleses his letter as follows: "I may add that all through this controversy, and especially since my correspondence and interview with you, a member of your own family has frequently, and in the most public places, upon charges, discussed all these qcestions, and announced that all of you would be in

Eas

ossession of Christ Church, and finally made a wager of money about the matter of the services as to who will perform them on September 10th. I do not make this statement of my own knowledge, but have been so informed again and again by many gentlemen whose word is beyond impeachment. I cannot hold you responsible for another's acts. It has often seemed that you very freely and quickly communicated information which it might possibly been better to have withheld. In conclusion let me say, it is not, as I esteem it, of very much moment what was said by us at that inters view, the great question remains to be met. It is so palpable and so well understood that there can be no mistaking it. You have pronounced the Rev. Charles E. Chenev disgraced from the ministry of the Church of God. The officers of Christ Church say that the trial, proceedings and sentence are all invalid, and that the Rev. Charles E. Cheney is a minister, and that they shall stand by him in the Episcopal Church. If they work out of it they muBt, and that while they can not think of any other Episcopal congregation that would wish to dispose of our property, and do not suppose this possible, as even a small lot of ground with a building thereon, is of no value whatever in comparison with the right of conscience, the independence of the clergy, and the right of the people to worship God as their ^Protestant forefathers have done. In my'judgment, this movement of yours should never have been commenced, and when so be-

fun,

had better have been abandoned. am now equally clear that the good of the Church, and the best interests of religion, would impel you to let us alone. I await future events. The gospel is preached in Christ's Church, sinners are brought to the cross, 1400 Sunday School children are under its charge. I wish to live in peace and harmony with every one, and work, so that in the future we may be, as I believe we now_ are, really and truly, the banner parish in your diocese.

LETTER FROM SENATOR CONKLING. TROY, N. Y., September 2.—A letter from Senator Conkling to J. H. Griswold is published to-day, in which the Senator says that the Republicans of the State are not divided upon any principle at stake now, or upon any practical measure, and asks if Republicans will desert their cause merely because loaves have not come to their baskets, nor fishto their nets. A few years ago it was an imputation to charge that politics depended upon spoils, and it cannot be possible now that men will plot against the cause because the offices are too few to go around. The Senator says, "for my part there is no Republican I cannot take cordially by the hand, and labor with shoulder to shoulder in the work before us. I am for General Grant. This would be my position without my strong regards for him and confidence in him personally. He has made abetter President in some respects than yoi and I, when we voted for him. had an£ right to expect, and he is a better President every day than he was the day before. He has given the country the best practical Administration in many respects we have had for a quarter of a century, and the people know it With General Grant as our candidate out success is assured, with any other, success is not certain, and hence the nomination and election of General Grant seem to be a foregone conclusion. In the State of New York more than any where else, to the most of Republicans this appears plain, and their duty urgent. Here is the greatest free State in Christendom given over to rascals, the question facing us whether this degradation shall cease, or be permitted. Every one knows that the only step toward reform, is to nominate the best men in the Republican party, and elect them to the Legislature and to the elective offices of the State, and yet men stand talking about federal patronage, and the differences among leaders, and personal feelings between individuals, and the like. What have such things to do with the duty of this hour? What do the people care about them? What should they care? Of what public consequence are personal aims, and the mishaps of individuals? For one, if I can know how by act or omission I have given just offense to any man, I ought to go, and will go and make any amends in my power, but I insist that all who are in earnr.-: should go to work and keepat work. It is high time to be done with unprofitable things signifying nothing, and productive only of harm. The best way to do a thing is, to do it. Talking may be good, but talking about what we are willing to do and what might be done, when there is but one straight forward thing to do, is not likely to help the Republican party as to take right hold honestly and squarely, as men should who believe in what they are about and mean it. We shall all be together in redeeming the State, I hope, and many good men will help who never helped us before,"

Sherman. It is friendly and conciliating and had been received as it was intended. Subsequent bloodshed never occurred. It was delayed a few days and the Wachusetts sailed without waiting.

ELECTION EXCITEMENT.

SANTA FE, Sep. 2.—This morning's Post contains the following correspondence from La Mesiila in the southern part of this Territory: The election excitement in this valley culminated to-day in one of the most fearful affrays^ ever witnessed here. It is no exaggeration to say that the Plaza has been literally drenched with human blood. At the present writing, Sunday evening, 27th, it is known that seven persons have been killed, while the estimate of wounded reaches as high as 30, of whom 7 or 8 are mortally. From 5 o'clock this afternoon until 6, the Plaza resounded with pistol shots, groans, yells and execrations, for fully fifteen minutes the firing was incessant and continued during the rest of the hour. The Republican and Democratic parties had each selected to-day as the most suitable time for the grand meeting of the campaign, and at an early hour this morning both parties commenced their preparations. The leaders were evidently desirous of avoiding disturbance, and the respective parties formed in procession, and passed each others, place of meeting without outbreaks, and nothing happened until after the meetings adjourned, and the procession reformed. At five P. M. both parties met in the Plaza, exchanging defiant shouts. A pistol shot was fired, when a general fight ensued. Men, women and children hurried to their homes, but the fight was kept up from the windows and house tops, the dead and wounded falling on all sides. Hon. no. Limon, Republican candidate for Judge, was the first killed. The balance of the killed and wounded were mostly Mexicans. Another fight took place at Anto Chies, near Los Vegas, in which two were killed and six or seven wounded. The people were terribly excited here, but everything is being done to preserve peace and good order.

VIRGINIA CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION. The following is the speech of Gen. Early declining to serve on committee on resolutions of the Virginia Conservative Convention: Mr. Chairman, I am a man of peculiar notions, and do not feel like suppressing all my thoughts. When I came to this convention, I believed it was to be a meeting of white Virginia gentlemen called together to discuss the present issues between the two parties. Those which formerly divided Whigs and Democrats are dead, but there are living issues for discussion which ought not be suppressed. My old friend, pointing to Wm. Smith, and myself, may now agree upon fighting the common enemy, as we fought together during the war. But I see a determination to suppress the freedom of speech, to deprive myself and others of the liberty to discuss questions which should be discussed. Seeing this, although I will be with you when the fight takes place, I am unwilling to participate in any proceedings of this body, and I must ask to be excused from acting on the committee to which I have been appointed.
