TSBB10 HAUTE, INDIANA.

Wednesday Morning, Feb. 7, 1872.

THE Lafayette "Journal" claims that its candidate for Governor is "decidedly Orthodox."

FOUR big porkers, in four different cities, are now rejoicing under the name of "Boss TWEED."

MFT. JOHN W. MCCCJLLAGH has retired from the business management of the Chicago ".Republican."

THE Ohio Republican Stale Central and Executive Committee will meet at Columbus on Wednesday evening,. the 14th inst., to fix a day for holding the next State Convention.

THE Portland "Press" complains of legislators who are ready to "sell their souls for a railroad pass." It is bad to have such men, but much worse to have communities who deliberately select such men to make laws for them.

THE Terre Haute "Journal"

speaks of

the Indianapolis "Journal" as "the Republican organ of the State." The Indianapolis "Journal" indignantly repudiates such a title. It declares, in its issue of Monday, that "the 'Sentinel' is the only 'organ' at Indianapolis."

A POSSESSOR of one of the hundreddollar Philadelphia diplomas, which have excited so much interest in this country, came to grief in England a few "days ago. He was prosecuted for falsely assuming the title of M. D., and the magistrate held Philadelphia diplomas of so little account as to line him twenty pounds and costs.

ENGLAND has about 40,000 acres of young oaks and other growing timber planted in enclosures by authority of acts of Parliament, of which 10,000 were planted last year. Of the trees thus planted for navy purposes none have attained much more than half of their full one hundred years' growth, and the thinnings, necessary to make room for the ultimate crop to reach maturity, proiuce a large income. While she is thus forehand and saving, we, on the other hand, are wasting our magnificent patrimony with a recklessness that we shall repent before many years.

WE LIKE the suggestion of the New York "Times" that our Life Insurance Companies owe it to themselves and their honest policy-holders to promptly prosecute, criminally, every well-authenticat-ed case of fraud. They ought not to rest content with escaping the payment of the immediate risk but ought, by prosecution and punishment, to make it known that something more than a mere failure to obtain money will follow any fraud upon them. Such a course will, at first, cost them some trouble and some money, but they can invest none which will so surely earn them compound interest, in a ratio above all calculations known to actuaries, as money invested in this way.

THE Boston "Times" notices the curious tenure by which the charter of the town of Londonderry, N. H., is held, namely, the payment every year to the Governor of the State of a quit rent of one peck of potatoes. Governor WESTON received the potatoes on the 19th ultimo, and the charter of Londonderry holds good for another year. This tribute is a relic of the old country, where it is common, and in some instances very ludicrous. In England one nobleman holds his lands on condition that he present the reigning sovereign, annually, with a boar's head another with a brace of capons a third with a saddle of venison a fourth with a silver cup, tilled with water, and a "harn," or coarse linen towel a fifth is tied down to the necessity of presenting the Lord Lieutenant every year with a snow-ball, to be gathered in July. It is not much more than a century ago since the owner of Noddle's Island, now East Boston, had to send a bushel of apples every jTear to the General Court. Londonderry has paid its 'tato tax now for one hundred and fifty years.

THE editor of the Philadelphia "Inquirer," grieving for the heavy burden jja-eS}-of taxation laid upon the people of {hat city, has been lookjiipfrtwi5rt~'Tmnnp' the "effete aristocracies" of the Old World and rejoices to have found, in a remote corner of Europe, the Utopia of the tax* payer. It is called on the maps the Duchies of Anhalt-Bereburg, Anhalt-Co-then and Anhalt-Dessau. Their aggregate population is about one hundred and ninety thousand souls, each inhabitant being taxed exactly forty cents per annum, all in all. But this is in no wise the best of it, for His Serene Highness, the Duke of Anhalt, who rules over his three Duchies so wisely and well, has promised his subjects that at the expiration of ten years, instead of paying forty cents per annum into his exchequer, each one of them will probably receive as much, or more, therefrom. Such prosperity as this cannot, of course, result from mere virtue in the potentate, for, while to be virtuous is to be happy, it is not also to be always free of the tax collector. Undoubtedly there is virtue practiced in the ecomomv of the government, but, added to that are the famous salt mines of Leopoldshall, which daily pour their revenues into the treasury of the Duchies, and which reve. nues are, when sufficiently large to defray expenses and leave a dividend, to be dis tributed pro rata among the people. The Duke has also effected a Parliamentary reform, under which the nobles, as a class, are excluded from the House, though, if the people prefer a noble to a commoner, they can elect the man of their choice.

DEAD-HEADS at the New York theaters object to claquing everything, and the managers have been forced to hire bands of professional claquers.

EVERY four hundred and thirty-three thousandth person that patronizes an English bathing house is drowned. The moral is obvious.

THE Hillsboro (Mississippi) "Democrat" wants General Joseph E. Johnston for President and Carl Schurz for Vice President.

DOS PIATT.

"A MOMENT AFTER," writes one of the chroniclers of the Russo-aboriginal bison battue, "the Duke rode up at a gallap, his face all aglow with excitement and beaming with smiles. He had killed two buffaloes—cow and calf—and was hardly able to contain himself. Shook hands all around, and was, of course, overflowed with congratulations. He said: 'This ex citement is too much for me, I fear it will make me sick."' People who are familiar with the modern buffalo hunt will draw the natural deduction that the Duke is a very excitable scion of royalty —too excitable, in fact, to be allowed to run at large. Buffalo hunting, as a general thing, is quite as exciting as an old fashioned country hog killing. The fiery bison, stimulated by a vague sense of danger, gallops westward with head down and tail up, and the intrepid hunter charges gallantly alongside of the retreating monster, and discharges bullet after bullet into his body until, wondering all the time where his trouble comes from the poor beast gives up the ghost. The sport is fully as dangerous as chasing a heard of Texas bullocks around a forty acre field, and shooting right and left among this Iit"e-Tmperilin57}Edeal was our royal guests subjected by the incoiP" siderate courtesy of General Sheridan. Suppose Alexis had burst an important blood vessel in the excitement pf the chase, or that he had been trampled to death by the sounding hoofs of a fleeing herd, bow would our Government have accounted to his royal father?—Ind. Evening Journal.

How WILLIAMLLOYD GARRISONcame to find out, forty years ago, John G. Whittier. and how Whittier's poetical career was developed, is thus narrated by a gentleman who knows the facta. Mr. Garrison was then editing a weekly paper in his native town of Newburyport, and the other was at work on his father's

farm, in East Haverhill, and was un-

known beyond the limits of that obscure village. One morning Mr. Garrison picked up from the floor of his office entry a poetical effusion, written on coarse paper, and with blue ink. Thinking, at first sight, that it was a common doggerel, he was about to consign it to his waste basket, but on reading it, he found it to be poetry of more than ordinary merit. It was published in the "Free Press," and was followed by other pieces of still greater merit. Anxious to know the author of these anonymous contributions, Mr. Garrison made inquiries of the postrider, who informed him that every week he left a parcel of papers with a boy at a farm-house in East Haverhill. Mr. Garrison at once rode to this secluded locality, which has since become so well known to the readers of "Snow Bound," where he found the youthful poet, a bashful boy, at work with his father, who, though a man of excellent sense, and possessed of intelligence which made him a sort of oracle among his neighbors, was decidedly utilitarian in his views, and was any thing but pleased with the literary tastes of his son. Mr. Garrison earnestly entreated him to place no restraints upon the poetical tendencies of the gifted boy who stood before him, little dreaming that he was destined to be an efficient co*laborer in the reform to which he was about consecrating the best years of his life, and that the poet would live to celebrate in immortal verse the downfall of American slavery.

WHO would not imbibe the manes of his fathers, should plant his well at least 150 yards from the ancestral cemetery.

A Sketch of the "Capital" Journalist iron Ores and Indiana Block Coal.

-How He Came by His Name.

Washington Correspondence N. }*. World,] Don Piatt is the man who wakes Washington tip every Sunday morning. Not that he is, in any sense of the word, an "early caller," as the witness in a late trial in London announced himself to be by profession but he rouses the reading public regularly once a week, and gives many pers'ons a totally different idea of the Sabbath day from that of a day of rest. For he edits a weekly paper, with a Sunday edition for Washington, which is eternally aggressive. To them that walk in high places the man is a constant terror. So great a terror is the man that while few dare to seek his acquaintance none dare refuse an introduction if it is offered. But having faced the lion, and regained courage on hearing a very mild Falutahon, they look up and to their great astonishment behold the very tamest lion ever seen. A man of middle hight, substantially moulded, weighing his good two hundred, carrying himself not quite erect, with a face expressing the very reverse of combativeness. A thick brown beard, plentifully streaked with gray, covers half the face, and very bt%wn hair, also not without a gray mixture, is smoothly drawn off a fine forehead. The eyes are brown, and are the very quietest eyes possible, rarely betraying the inner emotions. These characteristics, together with a slow, even voice, rather low in its tones, give the idea to one who has never heard the man's name of a remarkably quiet, phlegmatic individual, who thinks life and people rather a bore than other wise, and couldn't possibly be moved to get into a state of excitement about any thing. To one who has read his writings these features come as a tremendous shock and however he may have been hated be fore there is something in his quiet aspect and manner that at once soothes, if it does not dissipate, violent animosity. Donn Piatt is now a citizen of Washington. He is a native of Cincinnati, passed five years of his lite in studying art, with the inten tion of making paintingjiis profession He studied law and was at the bench in Ohio for some time. He was a politician and figured in the Ohio Legislature was diplomat, and had what his enemies pleased to call a "career," whatever that may be, in Paris was a Colonel on Schenck 8 staff during the war and, in fact, was everything by turns and nothing long—nothing that required hard work at least—until about five years ago, when his young wife was suddenly stricken with dangerous illness, from the effects of which she has never entirely recovered Since then all the tenderness and devo tion of the man have been brought out and he has been the cheerful companion and the untiring, devoted nurse—always patient, always thoughtful, and utterly unselfish in the endeavor to make one who is absolututely dependent on him happy. The firm friend3 who stand by the aggressive writer and defend him through thick and thin are those who have witnessed his unceasing devotion to his invalid wife, and who alone know what manner of man he is. Colonel Piatt has figured more in the newspaper world than in magazine literature. He has written for the "Harpers" and for the "Galaxy." At present he is busily en gaged on a book which he has contracted to finish in ninety days. In this connec tion it will be as well to give the history of the singular name which its owner has always regarded as unfortunate. The name first bestowed on the infant Piatt was Isaac Dunn, in compliment to a near relative of the family. Some four or five years later a family quarrel between Isaac Dunn and Mr. Piat, Sr., made the latter declare that no child of his should bear the name of his enemy. He said the boy's name should be John, and went to the family Bible to erase the former register and substitute John. One of his sisters who was present, interfered, and aid, doubtless to save the Bible from mutilation, "Don't make so much of change. Scratch out Isaac and change the in Dunn to o." This was done (no pun), and thenceforth the boy was called Donn, greatly to his annoyance when lie grew older, and was ridiculed at school for his queer name.

The proposition to build a railroad from the city of Terre Haute, Ind., to Cape Girardeau, Mo., to be called the Terre Haute and Southwestern railroad, seems to be assuming a tangible shape, and awakening an interest that will secure its completion at an early day.

On the evening of the 13th inst., there was held in the city of Terre Haute at the Court House, a monster meeting, to take into consideration the feasibility of constructing the above road. The meeU ing was composed of the businessmen and capitalists of that city, as well as representatives from Southern Illinois and other localities. The proposition for the city of Terre Haute to insure the building of this road by donation of $150,000, was passed almost unanimously.

Bids are now advertised, work will be immediately commenced, and the completion and stocking of the road—only a matter of time—be pushed forward with all the energy that money and a great coal and iron interest can exert.

This road will pass through a section of country with a mild climafe, rich soil and splendid timber with all the elements to ftiake it a rich agricultural district—and the construction of the road will give them a medium of transportation to a market that will be opened up in the development of the great mineral belt of south and southeast Missouri.

The building of this road, to connect at Cape Girardeau with the Illinois, Missouri and Texas railroad, is an enterprise second to no other in the important mutual and sympathetic interests that will be united, and the speedy development of rich mineral and agricultural districts thereby secured. The bringing together by the shortest route3 and the cheapest freights the two great elements of our power and prosperity—iron and coal—unites what have long exercised the ingenuity, patience, time, talent and wealth of our most successful capitalists and manufacturers. When these two elements can be united by cheap transportation—usually the cheaper by moving the ores of iron to the fuel for reduction —there is no question advanced as to the investment of capital being a largely remunerative one, as ail such manufacturing industries have proved vast sources of permanent wealth.

An assertion that this is one of the most important enterprises in the direction of opening to capital the great iron interests of Southeast Missouri, is no better proven and sustaine'd than by reference to figurej sustaining the same. First, however, it will be best to bring to notice the deposits of iron and other minerals to be mined and moved to the fuel for reduction. Commencing at the State line, where the I. M. and T. R. R. enters the State of Arkansas, and going northeastward to Cape Girardeau, we pass through the most remarkable iron formations yet found in Mis-ouri. In Butler, Stoddard and Bollinger counties there occurs immense formations of a pure limonite iron ore, almost free from sulphur, with several localities showing blue specular and oxydulou? or magnetic iron ores. These are presented in such magnitude that any doubt of exhausting them is forever dispelled. Near Indian Ford, on the St. Francois river, there is shown miles of brown hematite ore, so easily mined, that the expense will only be nominal. Within a few miles, north of this road, at many localities, there is shown at the surface most every iron ore that Missouri affords in her mineral formations. There is also found in several localities along the line of the I. M. and T. R. R. lead, copper, nickel, cobalt and various other minerals, that seek a cheap and proper fuel to reduce them.

But, with iron alone shall we treat in this article. These ore3 can be mined loaded and delivered at Cape Girardeau by the I. M. & T. R. R. at $2 per ton transportation to the east side of the Mississippi river at §2.50 per car of ten tons, or the very low price of 25 cents per ton. The distance from Cape Girardeau to Terre Haute by the T. II. & S. W. R. R. would be 180 miles the road, with its medium grades, could easily transport these ores to that city at one cent a ton per mile. This road, then, in connection with the I. M. & T. R. would deliver at the iron furnaces in Terre Haute, or at Brazil, these valuable iron ores at $4,05 per ton. To give a margin for all reasonable losses that might occur say $5 per ton.

The ores along the line of the A. & P. R. R. and from other localities that supply these furnaces, co?t them, going by the way of St. Louis, say $1 75 per ton upon cars freight to St. Louis $2 25 crossing to east side of the river $1, and freight to Terre Haute $2, giving us $7 per ton for ores that require other qualities to aid in their reduction easily. The difference in favor of the transportation by Cape Girardeau and the T. II. & S. W R. R. of $2 to $3 per ton—is a sum assuming such magnitude in the cost of an unmanufactured commodity, that it will at once attract the notice and influence the movement of iron ores by this route.

This estimate made of ore by the present route, is entirely too low, for every ton delivered in Terre Haute costs them not less than $8. A difference of almost half in the manufacture of iron is an item too plainly apparent to the iron interests of iron producers in Indiana to be lost sight of or for a moment delay the speedy completion of a railroad exercisng so ffiarfced-a difference in time of transportation and at aknost half rates of freight. Iron ore3, to be economically and advantageously reduced to pig iron and blooms, must have coal that can be mined largely and cheaply, or the capital invested in the enterprise will not be likely to give its owners much return.

Another argument that can be used in favor of this enterprise, which results from locality: the Mississippi scarcely ever freezes up to prevent navigatien, and the building of an expensive bridge at this point would thereby be avoided.

The iron smelting coal of a portion of Indiana seems to possess all the qualities of ihe very best charcoal foi making iron and steel. It is only in the past few

mon

ths or a year or two that the qualities

of this block coal have been known. The first furnace that was erected to use it was in 1867, and even this did not fully show this magnificent coal in all its economic forms. It is found that this block coal of Indiana requires no coking, and as mined, requires no exposure to make the best of iron. It has also received that severest of all tests of sulphurous qualities—the manufacture by it of Bessemer steel. It acts upon the iron ores in such a manner as to produce a carbonaceous pig metal, which is very easily converted into a remarkably tough iron.

This coal occupies a locality that this railroad enters to give up its thousands of cars daily to the precious iron ores from our own State to be there cheaply and speedily changed into the thousand forms, and at a rate of transportation and manufacture that must drive out the ores going by the way of St. Louis.

These limonite ores upon the line of the I. M. ?nd T. R. R. produce the best iron of any in our State they are easily smelted and are so uniformly free from sulphur and all other foreign substances that they are at all times the most reliable. This naw railroad enterprise crosses fine coal fields in southern Illinois, which gives a good fuel but requires coking before it will make iron. This enterprise is one that will produce a marked and radical change in the transportation of iron ores to Indiana. The amount of the iron production will be many times doubled by the liberal freights this road can afford the agriculture of a rich district will be greatly enlarged, and the projectors and owners of the Terre Haute and Southwestern will own a link in the great chain of Western roilroads second in economy and importance of position to no other at the West.

THIS is the opinion of the St. Louis "Democrat" concerning the remarkable temperance enactment recently put through by the Illinois Legislature:

In Illinois they have already half repented of the folly of passing the temperance law, and an amendment is now pending to modify it by declaring its provisions not applicable to the sale of vinous or fermented liquors. We trust no such an amendment will be passed. The whole bill is wrong, and should be repealed entire. General Grant said what was very true when he declared that the best way to eecuse the repeal of an odious law was to enforcr it vigorously We have no doubt that a year's experience in Illinois will crea(£ such a demand for the repeal of the temperance law as the Legislature will not be slow to answer.

THE

NEW YORK TRIBUNE,

i'OR 1873.

The consolidation of Italy, so long fragmentary and impstent, into one powerful State, with Rome as its capital the hamiliatien of Prance through a series of crushing defeats, ending with the siege and capitulation of her proud metropolis the expulsion oftho Bourbons from the Spanish throne, and the substitution for them of a scion of the most liberal among royal houses tho virtual absorption of the kingdoms of Saxeny, Wurtemberg, Bavaria, with Baden, Hesse, tho Hanso Towns, &c.t under the headship of Prussia, into tho triumphant andDowerfnl empire of Germany and the arming of Russia to reassort her preponderance in the councils of Europe, or to prosecute her often postponed but never relinquished designs on the great city founded by Constantino, and the vast but decaying and anarchial dominion of tho Sultan, all combine to invest with profound interest the ever-changing phases OJ our tidings fron( tho Old World. THE TRIBCX*, through trusted correspondents stationed at all points in Europe where great movements aro in progress or immineirta aims to presont a complete and instructive panorama of events on that continent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle between middle-age Feudalism and Ecclesiasticism on the one hand and Nine-teenth-Century skepticism and secularism on tho other. Recognizing a Divine Providence in all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on the great conflict as destined (libo our own recent convulsion) to evolve from strife, disaster, and seeming chaos, a fairer and happier future for the toiling masses of mankind.

In our own coantry, a war upon corruption and rascality in office has been inaugurated in our City, whereby the government of oar Statr has been revolutionized through an initial triumph of Reform which surpasses tho most sanguino anticipations. It is morally certain that tho movement thus inaugurated cannot, in its progress, be circumscribed to aay locality or any party, but that its purifying influence is destined to bo felt in every part of the Union, rebuking veniality, exposing robbery, wresting power from politicians by trade, and confiding it in these worthiest and fittest to wield it. To this benoficent and vitally needed Reform, TaR TKIKUNK will devote its best energies, regardless of personal inteiests or party predilections, esteeming the choice of honest and faithful men to office as of all New Departures the most essential end auspicious.

The virtual surrender by the Democratic party of its hostility to Kqual Rights regardless of Color has divested our current polit-cs of half their bygone intensity. However parties may henceforth riso cr fall, it is clear that the fundamental principles which hiive hitherto honorably distinguished *he Republicans aro henceforth to be regarded as practically accepted by the whole country. The right of every man to his own limbs and sinews—tho equality of all citizens before the law—the inability of a St ite to enslave any portion of its people—the duty of the Union to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoyment of his liberty until he forfeits it by crime—such are the broad and firm foundations of our National cdifico and palsied be tho hand which shall seek to displace them I Though not yet twenty years old. tho Republican party has completed tho noble fabric of Emancipation, and may fairly invoke thereon the sternest judgment of Man and the benignant smile of God.

Henceforth, tho mission of our Republic is ono oi Peaceful Progress. To protect the weak and the humble from violence and oppression—to extend the boundaries and diffuse tho blessings of Civilization—to stimulate Ingenuity to the production of now inventions for economizing Labor and thus enlarging Production—to draw nearer to each other the producers ot Food and Fabrics, of Grains and Metals, and thus enhance the gains of Industry by reducing the cost of transportation and exchanges between farmers and artisans—such is the inspiring task to which this Nation now addresses itself, and by which it would fain contribute to the pregress, enlightenment, and happiness of our raco. To this great and good work. THE THIBUXE contributes its zealous, persist efforts.

Agriculture will continue to be more especially elucidated in its Weekly and SemiWeekly editions, to which some of the ablest and most successful tillers of tho soil will steadily contribute. No farmer who sells $3.0 worth of produce per annum can afford to do without oar Market Reports, or others equally lucid and comprehensive. If he should read nothing else but what relates to his own calling and its rewards, wo believe that no farmer who can read at all can afford -. do without such a journal as TUB TBIBIISK. And we aspire to make it equally valuable to those engaged in other departments of Productive Labor. We spend more and more money on our columns each year, as our countrymen's generous patronage enables us to do and we aro resolved that our issues of former years shall bo exceeded in varied excellence and interest by those of 1872. Friends in every State! help us to make our journal better and better, by sending in your subscriptions and increasing your Clubs for the year just before us!
