TEHKB HAUTE, INDIANA.

Wednesday Morning, Nov. 29. 1871.

THE Democratic State organ prints Mr. VOORIIEES' lu3ty call for a special National Convention, but says never a word in response. This silence is very significant.

ARRKTT A vr3 has it upon a pi an—not quite original—of compelling attention to •his speeches in the Senate this winter. If Senators fail to listen to the first reading, he threatens to read until "proper respect" is shown him.

WHILE vigorous measures against the aboriginie are greatly to be deplored, it is becoming apprent that the savages are taking a dishonorable advantage of the humane treatement accorded them for the past two years, and abuse their friendly privileges, as so many ambushes "from which to fall upon and plunder, rob, torture and murder the palefaces.

SAYS the Indianapolis "Journal:" "The meanest thing we have seen lately is an article in the Louisville 'Ledger,' in which it is asserted that the settlement with CONNOR was a Radical game originated by Governor BAKER, and carried out in oppo-sition to the wishes of Attorney, General IIANNA. Mr. HANNA and his assistant counsel urged the settlement upon Governor BAKER, whose only agency in the busihess was to refer the matter back to Mr. HANNA himself."

THE "Albany Evening Journal" says of GRANT: "We have had in all our history no Executive who surpassed him in conscientious devotion to the public welfare. The American people have studied his character and career to little purpose, if they have not come to comprehend the simplicity, sincerity and honesty of his nature, and his disinterested subordination of all personal ends te the paramount interests of the nation. WASHINGTON himself was not more removed from all self-seeking, self^asserting, ambitious purposes than President GRANT."

IN England, says the "Pall Mall Ga 7.ette," the system of communication between railway passengers and guards is now so perfect that the most timid traveler need entertain no apprehension that he will encounter any greater difficulty in stopping a train in case of emergency than is entailed by clambering on to the roof of the carriage he occupies, and thence by a succession of bounds reaching either the guard's van, if he knows where it is, or the engine, the .driver of which is always ready to take into consideration any reasonable remon* strance addressed to him by passengers, and will occasionally consent, when life is in extreme peril, to shut off the steam, provided he receives notice in time.

The Secret of Mr. Stewart's Mercantile Sncecss. Probably the most striking instance of adherence to a few rigid rules is afforded by the man who i3 conceded to lead the mercantile world of this continent. Men envy his success who might have stood even with him in the race had they but inflexibly held to similar rules.

First and foremost in the stand which Mr. Stewart took was the rule to permit no misrepresentation of goods. Purchasers were not slow to find out that in his establishment there need be no fear of imposition. Whether they were perfectly acquainted with the nature of the goods which they wished to purchase, or were entirely ignorant upon the point, they were sure of having the truth told. Mr. Stewart had it thoroughly understood by all his clerks that they must tell the truth and he had the injunction so conspicuous* ly placed that his employes were perpetually reminded of the great rule of the establishment. If a clerk was discovered in an overstatement or a falsehood, he was instantly dismissed. The natural consequence of this course was the rigid selfadvertising power of hia business. When men and women say, "Go or send there, for you are sure to get just what the article is represented to be," then friends and neighbors are not slow in availing themselves of such on advantage.

The rigid observance of the "one price system" was a rule necessarily co-opera-tive with the first. Dealers confess that it is exceodingly difficult to maintain this rule, and where a large proportion of business is transacted on credit it is well-nigh impossible and when the rule is "Pay on delivery," it can be maintained.

Comfort is brought to the household of every customer when be feels confident that he can send a child or a servant to make a purchase, and he will be sure of not only getting the article he wants, but obtaining it on exactly the same terms as if he were to go himself. It is a great thing for a merchant to discover that the money of the poor man is as good as the money of the rich—the cash of the stranger as good as the cash of the acquaintance.

In Mr. Stewart's vast establishment the clerks have have no option whatever in the regulation of prices: this, they know, can never be taken out of the hands of the employer.

Nine-tenths of the terrors of shopping take their flight in view of these rules, and husbands can pluck up courage to go with their wives when they understand there is no badgering and jewing.

There is still another rule with Mr. Stewart which has immediate relation to the comfort and advantage of the customer, and that is his emphatic prohibition of any importunity to purchasers. Who is there, having had any experience of shopping in a city, that does not feel a kind of terror of a certain class of stores. He retains a vivid impression of his helples bewilderment amidst a babel of recommendations and solicitations, until, at last, in sheer confusion or from the desire to escape, he purchased an article he did not want, and went out of the shop with an inward resolution never to enter it again. But here you may gaze upon millions of dollars' worth of goods and no man will interrupt either your meditations or admiration. Among the highest productions of the cunning skill of man yon may make your choice without fear of the least intermeddling importunity.— From OUR MONTHLY GOSSIP IN the Decern* bcr number of Lippincott's Magazine.

THE separate school system for which the Romanist priests here and in Ireland are clamoring so loudly, seems to grow in disfavor everywhere. The fact is that modern history has amply provoked that the world is tired of sacerdotal control, and thinks it has lasted too long already. Recently the Government of the important Swiss canton Zurich have decreed that there is to be no religious instruction whatever given in the schools of that canton.—New York Times.

MRS. WOODHULL declares that in her recent lecture she did not say that "Mrs. Crittenden should have given way to Mrs. Fair." She claims to have said exactly the reverse.

COLI FLOODED MURDER IN IV DIASAl'OLIS.

A MAN SHOOTS HIM BROTHER-IS' r.

ONE HALF OP THE VICTIM'S HEAD TORN AWAY.

The Murderer Captured and Incarcerated in the County Jail.

From the Ind. Journal.] The crowning atrocity of the criminal annals of our city has now come up for record—the bloodiest murder that has ever disgraced Indianapolis. The horrible Buchanan tragedy, in 1865, when a man chopped open his wife's head, doej not compare forfiendishness with one that was perpetrated in McKernansville yes. erday

James Foster, the murderer, is ostensibly a day laborer, but really an idle, worthless vagabond, constantly creating disturbances and theatening peaceably neighbors. He has done no work for more than eight months, and has been supported by his two sisters, who work in one of the paper mills to supply their vagabond brother with means of subsistence, James Hatfield, his victim, is Foster's brother-in-law, the two men having married two sisters, daughters of a man named Owen, living on the corner of Jones and West streets. Hatfield had five small children. He was quite industrious, and was a day laborer, taking odd jobs wherever he found them. His family have been living tlirvugh the summer and autumn at.Bridgeport, in this county but he had recently secured a situation in a slaughter house in this city, and was moving them into a house belonging to the Fosters, on the corner of Rockweek and Dakota streets. Foster is a brother of William Foster, a fourlh*rate lawyer of this city, now teaching school about fifteen r»ile3 in the country. His father and another brother also live here.

There are Wvo statements as to the immediate causes of the deed, both of which seem equally credible, and both of which are vouched for by neighbors and acquaintances of the parties. The following, whjch we believe to be the. correct one, is given first:

About three weeks ago,,one Thomas Reeves, who had several times been threatened by Foster, had the latter taken before Justice Boggess, who, on the 16th inst., bound him over to keep the peace toward Reeves. This so enraged Foster that he became more threatening than ever, and declared his intention on several different occasions to kill Reeves. Yesterday forenoon be started out from the house of his father-in-law, with the avowed intention of making an end of his enemy. He went to his father's hcuse, procured an old rusty army musket that belonged to his brother, loaded it very heavily with powder and buckshot and went in search of Reeves. He hunted for his intended victim about two hours, and then, giving up the pursuit, returned to the house on the corner of Rockwood and Dakota streets, in McKernansville, in the neighborhood known as the White Row, which belonged to the Fosters, and into which Hatfield and his family were moving. He entered at the back door, through a shed, and commenced abusing his brother-in-law. The latter ordered him off, and the two became involved in a quarrel, whereupon Foster drew up his gun, held the muzzle three or four feet from Hatfield's head, and fired. The shot carried away almost one-half of the victim's head, and he of course fell and expired instantly. Mrs Owen, the mother of Hatfield's wife, was standing near him at the time, and says the shot grazed her temple, the burnt powder smirching her face. This statement is vouched for by Justice Boggess, who bound Foster over to keep the peace, and Mrs. Nancy Kenley, of No. 11 Dakota street, a neighbor of the family.

The other statement is to the effect that there had been a quarrel between Foster and Hatfield that the case of Reeves had nothing whatever to do with the affair, and that Foster loaded the gun with slugs with the avowed intention of killing his brother-in-law. Some weeks since, it is alleged, Hatfield bought the gun with which the shooting was done of Foster, and bartered it away with a neighbor for a hog. Just after this trade was concluded, and Hatfield was about to deliver the gun, he found that it had been taken away by Foster. This led to the quarrel which terminated fatally. It is said that Foster started out in search of Hatfield early in the morning, not sup posing that he had arrived at the house so soon with his goods, but finally went to the place, stationed himself in the shed, and deliberately shot his victim as he was about to pass out of the door. Hatfield had in his hand when his body was found an ordinary pocket knife, which was not open, and which he had, in all probability, been using about the bedding, furniture, 'etc., which he was setting up in the house. The recoil of the gun, heavliy charged as it was, lacerated the murderer's right hand badly.

After the commission of the deed, Foster at once set about for means of escape. He first went to his father's house, left the gun, and started out on foot in the direction of the Bluff road, and stopped in the saloon of Fred. Clare. Here he remained until a farmer passed by in a "vagon, going toward the country. Foster hailed him, asked for permission to ride out with him, and was taken into the wagon. As they rode on together the farmer engaged his passenger in conversation, and asked him how he had hurt his hand. (Foster had by this time bound his cut hand with his handkerchief.) He replied that he had been killing hogs, and had accidentally cut himself. They rode on in this way about two miles on the Bluff road.

In the meantime the intelligence of the murder had reached the police, and officers Elliott Preston and Sam Btiser set out in pursuit of the murderer. They traced him to Clare's saloon, and found out that he had left there, but could not learn in which direction lie had gone. They surmised, however, that he had fled toward the country, and set out down the Bluff road on foot. They passed rapidly along, and soon came in sight of the farmer's wagon. The thought that the fugitive might be in the wagon did not occur to the policemen, but they naturally desired a lift along the road, and, making considerable haste overtook the wagon and climbed in behind. Foster and the farmer were discussing the subject of chopping wood, the former telling of the fabulous amounts that he had cut on certain occasions: He could cut more wood, hesaid, than any man living. Just then Preston saw the bandaged hand of the man, and at once suspected that all was not right. He questioned Foster about the wound and received the same reply—that he had been killing hogs, and had hurt himself. The police asked for the man's name. Foster replied, "What busines is it to you what my name is?" Leaving Buser talking to the murderer, Preston stepped up beside the farmer, and asked him about his passenger—where he had pickek him up, what his name was, etc. The Farmer replied tha the had taken him on at the saloon, and that he gave his name as Foster. Of course this was enough, and the murderer was arrested at once. He offerred no resistance, but said "All right don't worry yourselves. I'll come along." He was brought to the city and put in the county jail, on a commitment issued by Jnstice Boggess.

Oar reporter interviewed the prisoner at tl\p jail yesterday afternoon, and fonnd him one of those men who seem to have been designed by nature for the gallows. His appearance is extremely brutal and murderous. His garb was ragged and filthy, and around his neck he had tied a soiled handkerchief. He is above the medium highth, slenderly built, has dark hair and a slight mustache, and has the

low and brutal cast of countenance which is generally found in murderers. He refused to answer most of the questions put to him, but says Hatfield attacked him and, cut him in the hand with a knife, and thatheshot him in self-defense. The former of these statements is disapproved by the fact that the knife which Hatfield had was not open, and the latter by the testimony of Mrs. Owen, who was present at thescene of the deed. There was quite a commotion among the inmates of the jail when Foster was brought in, and they were not long in finding out what was his crime. He was the hero of the.day among some, but others declared they "would put a head on him to night."

The body of the murdered man was brought to the office of Coroner Hedges yesterday afternoon. The Coroner himself is on a jury in the Criminal Court. The jury went out- yesterday afternoon, and the Coroner cannot leave to attend to the case until a verdict is brought in this morning when the court meets at 9 o'clock. Thi? unfortunate circumstance did not prevent the issuing of venire for a Coroner'jjury, which was done yesterday. It was nece-?ary, however, to adjourn until this morning to await ihe liberation of the C»roner.

In the meantime the body lies at the office of E. & J. Hedges, on Maryland street, in the condition in which it was found. It is a horrid spectacle. The right side of the head ha3 been blown entirely away, only a portion of the nose remaining. After the inquest to morrow it will be washed, prepared forthegravev and buried without cei emony of any kind.

The wi«Tow and her five little children are in a most needy condition, having nothing in the world. Even their scant furniture, which the murdered man was moving into the house when he was killed, lay in the street last evening. The woman was weeping bitterly when visited by our reporter yesterday, and seemed deeply affected by her husband's death. Kind persons have already interested themselves in her behalf, and she will not suffer at present from lack of food or other necessary articles.

The Sensation of Absent Limbs. It has long been known to surgeons that when a limb has been cut off the sufferer does not lose the consciousness of its existence. This has been found to be true in nearly every such case. Only about five per cent, of the men who have suffered amputation never have any feeling of the part as being still present. Of the rest, there are a few who in time come to forget tho»missing member, while the remainder seem to retain a sense of its existence so vivid as to be more definite and intrusive than is that of its truly living fellow-member.

A person in this condition is haunted as it were, by a constant or inconstant fractional phantom of so much of himself as has been lopped away—an unseen ghost of the lost part, and sometimes a presence made sorely inconvenient by the fact that while but faintly felt at times, it is at others acutely called to his attention by the painfT or irritations which it appears to suffer from a blow on the stump or a change in the weather.

There is something almost tragical, something ghastly, in the notion of these thousands of spirit limbs haunting as many good soldiers, and every now and then tormenting them with the disappointments which arise when, the mem ory being off guard. for a moment, the keen sense of the limb's presence betrays the man into some effort, the failure of which of a sudden reminds him of his loss.

Many persons feel the lost limb as ex isting the moment they awaken from the merciful stupor of the either given to des troy the torments of the knife others come slowly to this consciousness in days or weeks, and when the wound is healed but, as a rule, the more sound and serviceable the stump, especially if an artificial limb be worn, the more likely is the man to feel faintly the presence of his shorn member. Sometimes a blow on the stump will reawaken such consciousness, or, as happened in one case, a reamputation higher up the limb will summon it anew into seeming existence.

In many, the limb may be recalled to the man by irritating the nerves in its stump. Every doctor knows that when any part of a nerve is excited by a pinch, a tap, or by electricity—which is an alto gether harmless means—the pain, if it be a nerve of feeling, is felt as if it were really caused in the part to which the nerve finally passed. A familiar illustration is met with when we hurt the "crazybone" behind the elbow. This crazy-bone is merely the ulnar nerve, which gives sensation to the third and fourth fingers, and in which latter parts we feel the numbing pain of a blow on the main nerve. If we were to divide this nerve below the elbow, the pain .would still seem to be in the fingers, nor would it alter the case were the arm cut off. When, therefore, the current of a battery is turned upon the nerves of an armstump the irritation caused in the divi ded nerves is carried to the brain, and there referred at once-tp all the regions of the lost limb from which, when entire, the nerves brought those impressions oi touch or pain which the brain coverts into sensations. As the electric currents disturbs the nerves, the limb is sometime called back to sensory being with startling reality.

On one occasion the shoulder was thus electricized three inches above the point where the arm had been cut off. For two years the man had ceased to be conscious of the limb. As the current id, although ignorant of its possible effects, he started up, crying aloud, "Oh, the hand, the hand!" and tried to seize it with the living grasp of the. second fingers. No ressurrection of the dead, no answer of a summoned spirit, could have been more startling. As the current was broken, the lost part faded again, only to be recalled by the same means. With others it is a presence never absent gave in sleep. "If," says one man, "I should say, I am more sure of the leg which ain't than of the one that are, I guess I should be about correct.—From PHANTOM LIMBS, by Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, the December number of LippincotCs Magazine.

THE attention of the Attorney General is invited to this plain statement, made by the New Albany "Ledger," one of the most prominent Demacratic organs in the State:

Whatever moral obligations may rest upon the State official for paying into the State Treasury moneys obtained by an improper use of the public funds, there is no legal obligation resting upon them to do so, and of consequence there can rest upon the securities no penalty if they do not do it. This prosecution of fifty or a hundred citizens all over the Stale, causing expense and time to delend themselves, against obligations long since discharged, seems to us unnecessary, and unjUSt.

And this from the same:^, While we have been earnest and oncompromising in urging that the proper guardians of the law shall see to it that the State receive no detriment from dishonest officials, we have never indulged in the indiscriminate charge of "Treasury thieves" against those who have complied with the strict letter of the law, but have on the contrary blamed the Attorney General for passing over the cases of parties —such as the State Printers, who have obtained money fraudulently—to take up first supposed delinquents of eight or ten years standing, whose securities have long been discharged.

The Discussion Concerning the Pros idcncy. From the New York Timet.I

People must now begin to .comprehend pretty clearly the motives which prompt much of the opposition to Gen. Grant. Some of these motives demand attentive consideration, and it is fortunate on many accounts that there is no lack of-able journals to express them. Papers liketh^"Natioa" and the Springfield "Republican— we mention them a3 good types of the whole class—may fairly be presumed to be guided by an honest desire for the public welfare in the criticism which they make upon the Administration. No one, therefore, who is disposed to place faith in the Administration can afford to pass by their remarks with unconcern. There is, however, another kind of opposition which calls for different treatment, and to what we wish to call the attention of our readers to-day. Its chief mouthpiece is the.New York "Tribune," andit3 ieadei-8 in this State are Senator Fenton and Horace Greeley. The antipathy which these gentlemen and their followers entertain towa:d the Pr^sijlent is of that kind which sometimes leads ardent politicians to disregard the public welfare, in order that they may gratify the resentments common to public life, or further the political schemes on which they are bent. Senator Fenton, for instance, thinks that he has not had his full shaie of patronage. If a man of bis stamp is to keep followeis about him, he must have offices to distribute among them, and since Senator Fenton's friends, especially in this City, are intimately associated with Tammany, such offices have been withheld from him—and in o'ir opinion very wisely. Under a well ordered Civil Service this difficulty could not arise, for merit would decide every man's claims to office. It is not President Grant's fault ihatsuch a system is not in existence—indeed, we hope to see him add to the many distinctions which have rendered his life illus trious the honor of having it recorded of his Administration that under it Civil Service Reform was finally accomplished.

Mr. Greeley's case differs in many respects from that of Senator Fenton, and in the main it differs for the worse, in the first place, he is the head and front of that Republican faction withiu the Tammany organization, which has had for its object the maintenance of the Tweed form of Government. It was that faction which lost uS the election last year, and which would have lost the election this year if the people had not been too strong for it. It is a curious fact that Mr. Greeley so fully relied upon the efforts of his associates that, on the morning after the election, he announced in his paper that the State had gone to the Democrats by a "small majority." He did not, as in many other epochs of his life, realise the force of the public opinion which had been evoked.

Iu the second place, Mr. Greeley has committed the stupendous folly of permitting himself to entertain dream3 of securing the Presidency for himself. His stumping tour in the South last year will not soon be forgotten—there are many features in it which deserve to be thoughtfully considered on another occasion. Mr. Greeley's folly consists in two facts first, that the public have repeatedly shown him that they have no confidence in him as a candidate for any office secondly, that as a journalist aspiring to the Presidency he has utterly destroyed the value of his criticisms on any other candidate. When he assails General Grant, and pleads against his renomination, what can be more natural or more just than to say to Mr. Greeley, "You are not in a position to pronounce an impartial opinion upon this man, for all that yon desire is to step into his shoes.' You say you oppose General Grant: of course you do, since you covet his position for yourself. It is quite clear why you do not want General Grant to be President— your candidate is Horace Greeley, and no one else is likely to receive any support from you or yourpapei. You cannot be a candidate yourself, and at the same time expect your criticisms upon other candidates to carry any weight." The candid style of argument which Mr. Greeley effects when he has any sinister purpose to accomplish cannot blind people to these obvious considerations.

Accurate self-knowledge is proverbially a hard thing to acquire, but Mr. Greeley cannot have lived all these years in the world without having some dim suspicion that he is not fit to hold an important office. The texture of his mind disqualifies him. He is alternately the slave passions and prejudices. It is mere passion which leads him to defend Hall and Sweeney now. The constitutional infirmity of his nature led him to clamor for surrender to the rebels in the first years of the war, an3 even to assert that if our section of the country chose to sever the Union, the other section had no right to prevent it—the most extreme view taken by adverse foreign observers at that time. His crotchets about our finances, his extreme views on protection, his general inability to deal with practical politics in a statesman-like spirit, are also alarming proofs of the danger of placing him in any important public position. The ex cessive rancor which characterizes his treatment of anybody with whom he has a passing difference of opinion is another characteristic which ought to exclude him from great posts. Indeed, many people will say that it is absurd to discuss his pretensions to the Presidency in a serious spirit. We might as well argue seriously about the pretensions of George Francis Train, who is also a candidate for the Presidedty. As a journalist Mr. Greeley has made a great name. If he were a wise man he would rest satisfied with this field of labor, and continue to diversify the political discussions of the hour with his curious facility in the use of bad language.

The "Nation," the Springfield "Republican," and other able journals, stand in a different position altogether with regard to the Presidential discussion. It would be idle to try to do justice to their views at the close of an article, and we 6hall reserve them for future consideration.

The Lord's Prayer.

"I remember on one occasion," says Mr. Hay, "traveling in the country with a cempanion who possessed some knowledge of medicine. We arrived at a door, neax which we were about to pitch our tents, when a crowd of Arabs surrounded us, cursing and swearing at the rebellers against God. My friend, who spoke a little Arabic to an elderly person whose garb bespoke him a priest, said: "Who taught yon that we were disbe lievers? Here my daily prayer, and judge for yourselves."

He then repeated the Lord's Prayer. All stood amazed and silent, till the priest exclaimed: "May God curse me- if ever I again curse those who hold such a belief! Nay, more the prayer shall be my prayer till my hour be come. I pray thee, O Nazarene, repeat that prayer, that it may be remembered among us in letters of gold."

THE independence of women haa reached a point in Sweden which will rejoice the hearts of many here. In the Enskilda Bank of Stockholm, women have been employed as clerks for the last seven year?, and their work haa, we are told, given entire satisfaction. The innovation was introduced by the founder of the bank, who had spent his early life in the Swedish Navy. It is a step in the right direction.—New York Time.
