Township Republican convention this afternoon at the Court Hou^e.

There were no rumors of cabinet changes yesterday, which*is very strange.

MacLean, the ^would-be afsassin of tbe queen, has been committed for (rial on a charge of high treason. f.

The Harrison township Republican convention meets at two o'clock this afternoon at tbe Court House.

Ex-Senator Sargent is settling up his affairs in California preparatory to his departure to his new field of usefulness.

The recent sugar decision will be a bonanza to tbe refiners who receive drawbacks of duties improperly collected, and, to make tbe thing even all rouDd, they should divide with the cocsumerp, who are tbe real losers.

The report of the census bureau upon tbe extent and distribution of the population of the United States has bien furnished, and is one of the most complete of its kind ever issued. Fifty thousand copies are soon to be issued.

General Rosecrana says he will not reply to the Garfield letter until he hat assured himself of its genuineness. Dana was assistant secretary of war under Stanton, and that is how it is supposed he became possessed of the letter.

The reception given to Senator Harrison in Washington on Thursday evening, by the Indiana Republican Association, was one of the most brilliant events of the season. Prominent officials and politicians were present in large numbers.

Congress will commenee the investigation of the Pern-Chilian matter to-day. During the taking of the testimony the public will be at liberty to attend tbe sessions of the committee. Sbipberd has been sent for, and the true inwardness of the Peruvian company will soon be known.

A bill has been reported to the house of representatives to allow all officers below the grade of major, who have held the same rank for a period of fifteen years, the pay and allowances of tbe grade next above them. Tbe bill seems to be an attempt to compensate officers who have bad no chance of promotion.

The per diem employes of the government in Washingtan, in addition to wanting the eight hour law enforced, are about to present claims against the gov* ernnrent for pay for the additional two hours worked each day. General Butler has been retained, and will prosecute tbe catea. The demand for arrearages is spreading.

Tbe Washington Post yesterday peblished a communication bitterly denouncing the late President Garfield. The author is a prominent republican and delegate to the Chicago convention. His name will be furnished to the friends of the late president if they demand it. The writer will assuredly receive the attention which he dererves.

A delegation of health officers from districts west of the Allrghanies are at present in Washington to confer with the president ss to the beet means of preventing an indiscriminate spread of the smallpox. It is rather late to commence work in that direction this season, as the disease is rapidly disappearing, but probably the gentlemen believe in the "better late than never" theory.

The great walking match has been succeeded ly a wrhrgle over the division of. the spoils, in which it Is hinted that the managers have not made a fair retr.rn of the receipts. The total sincunt leporicd from all sources ia $45,694 cf which the manager receives 15 per cent. After dedacting all tbe expenses there remained $18,761.62 to be divided emcng the eix contestants who accomplished 525 miles.

In addition to this there wss a sweepstakes pane of $10,000, of which Hazael received $9,000 and Fitzgerald, $1,000.

A letter to Congressman Bel ford from Mr. Adams, United States minister to Bolivia, has been published, and it speaks in no complimentary terms of the Chilian government. Mr. Adams asserts that his official dispatches and private correspondence have been detained and opened by the Chilians, and that be has every reason to believe the government was privy to it. The charge is not a new one, and it will be remembered that a short time ago the Chilian'authoring denied it. Now that the matter has been laid before the state department it is to be hoped a thorough investigation will follow. If the charge uoe a little vigoreu#Wiiril |^iet ^ould not be ont of place.

INDIANA'S COAL FIX£M!«

State Mine Inspector Wilson b« filed his annual report with the governor. The docume&t ia.paid to he quite lengthy and Teiy complete in all its details. Mr. Wibon has been very citrefiil in gathering lus information and compiling tbe statistics. This is the second report of the kind ever made out in this state, and it reviews the business down to the,close of 1881. During the last year th«re were aboat 5,000 men-and boys employed tbe mines, and only ten fatal accidents wert reported, which, upon investigation, prove to have occurred through tb.e carelessness of the unfortunate victims. One accident to each five hundred men and boys employed is a very small proportion, and we doubt if any other state or country can make as good a showing. Compared with other mining districts the seams of coal in this state are close to the surface, which diminishes the chances of accidents Eomewhat, and makes ventilation comparatively essy. On tbe latter point Mi". Wileon finds some fault. He aay3 that in mont esses the ventilation ia bad, and should be improved. Thus far only four suits have been brought for violation of the miniDfc laws—two in Sullivan county and two in Warrick county. H» has carefully collected the figures relating to tbe busicera transacted in each county, and arranged them in tabular form with the following result:

At the present time Indiana stands fourth in the list of coal producing statee, yet the industry ia only in its infancy. Clay, county alone operates nearly hall the mines, employs half the miners and produces more than half the number oi tons of coal. In the state are abont^,500 square miles ol cosl fields, or about cne fifth of its entire area. Vnst deposits of valuable coal have been discovered in Pike county, which have not yet been touched. The same may be said of many other counties, especially in this portion of the state To the eoutheast of us are immense fields wbich are waiting the building of railroads to develop them. Tho coal which haa* been mined ia as a grain of sand on the beach.

Our block coal is of a superior quality, and all that can be produced finds a ready market in all directions, aod tbe demand steadily increases. In Chicsgo it is in demand for manufacturing purposes, and is used in a number of the iron works. During the month of February the Clay county district furnished 4,425 car loads, which was an average of 192 cars for each working day of the month. The future of the coal mining interests of Indiana is bright. With its immenee deposits of a superior quality it affords an inviting investment to capitalists who desire to place their money where it will bring them large and speedy returns.

THE COLORED T0TE. 7

The Gazette seems deeply interested in the so-called colored bolt from the republican party. At first sight thiB seems strange, as it has not been doing much for democratic succefs of late. It has, however, probably experiecced a change of heart and will do what it can to discourage republicans in future. It recognizes tho fact that the democracy in this region are in a bad way, and Betk§ to aid them by encouraging colored men to nominate a ticket of their own. It saya the colored men will Dot be eatiffied with the past, but want to know what the future has in store for them. It seems that the distinguished baiters want office or the disruption cf the republican party. The republican pasiy gave tbem their freedom, tbe right to vote, good schocls and ail other privileges which they enjoy. The democratic party never gave them anything, and never intend to give them anything. In the democratic south they are virtually disrancised through bourbon methods. In the republican north they* are treated as men. Yet there are to ba found a choice few who want to see the republicans driven from power and the democrats supreme.

Let us look at the distribution of tLe spoils here in Terie Haute, atd upon which the Gcccttc -loves to dwell. Did tbe democrats ever give a eolored man a position? Once they put a colored man on the police force, and immediately proceeded to bcurce him before he went on duty. With the republicans matters have been different. There are probably a hundred colored voters in the city, and of this number there are Bix in office under the republicans, and many more have employment under*tbe street commiesionerSix per cent, is a pretty fair proposition in various positions. The white republicans number early 2,000 but not eix ptr cent, of them hold cffice by any means. The trouble with these who complain is that they want good colored men discharged that they may secure the positions for themselves, but the game wont work. The colored voters will not allow themselves to be led around by tbe nose by two or three distingnished soreheads who bave been affiliating with the democrats and nationals for several years.

.The president has called the attention of C3Dgress to the fact that the Lower Brull Indian.*, of Dakota, arc in the habit of disposing of, to whites, tbe supplies issued to them by the government, and requests a remedy through an amend' ment of existing laws. Tbe same complaint is made of various other tribes. Under the law as it at present stands punishment can only follow a. purchase within the Indian country.

An effort is being made to furnish every port of entry in the United Slates wi'.h a clock aod time ball, the time to be regulated from tbe naval observatory in Washington!*

This afternoon the republicans of tbiV township will nominate the .tipkft that will be elected next month.

Giovani Lanza, tbe Italian statesman, died at Rome, on Thursday, Ha was born about 1815, and since 1848 has acted an important part 111 Italian politic?. After the establishment of the parliamentary government he- became vicepresident and subsequently president of the Italian parliament. At tbe time tbe war of independence broke out in 1859 he wss: finance minister in Count Cavour'i cabinet. ^lu 1864 lie accepted a seat' in tbe new cabinet formed by Glen. La Marmora, bat he resigned in 1865. In 1867 be was elected president of the efcamber of deputies. In 1869 he was again elccted president of the chamber of deputies, whereupon the minority resigned. Hi wfs then tent for by the king, and vainly endeavored fo form an administration, but afterwards became minister of the interior la the cabinet formed by Signor Bill a. King Victor Emanuel conferred the order of the Arnynciada on. Signer Lanza in October, 1870.

The Bottlers on the Beaubien or Maxwell land grant are ta have an opporiiw ity to make their claim good in the United Stake cour'. The attorneys for the settlers claim that tbey will be able to show that by falte acd fraudulent surveys an original grant cf 100,000 acres was increased to embrace between: 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 acres of valuable mineral lands. The settlers have improved the lands and made them valuable, and now the pretended owners are serving notice on them to leave. ....

WASHINGTON March 10, 1882. /. Vest offered a resolution directing the Secretary of War to use steamers and other vessels belong to or now employed by the Government on the Mississippi and its tributaries in the transportation of rations and supplies furnished tbe sufferers by the reccnt overflo w, and providing for the necessary expenses thereof. Vest explained that there was difficulty in getting supplies to poinjta in the interior remote from Memphis and points on the Mississippi, and that small boats were required for this purpose. Hundreds of sufferers were on tbe point of starvation. The object now was to resider certain boats under control of the Government Engineer Corps available.

Cockrell had read a telegram from the Merchants Exchaage, St. Loui urgibg that the assistance of the Governmect be continued, in view of the discouraging reports from the inundated districts. The resolution passed.

The bill for a commission on the alcoholic liquor traffic came up. Harris objected to its discussion at this time and Conger moved that it be proceeded with, which motion prevailed and the bill was taken up and after ono or two votea on amendments the bill wss reported to the Senate from Committee of the Whole, the number ot commigRioners fixed at Eeven, and the time within which the commission shall report at eighteen nionth?, and then the bill was passed*— ayep, 34 noes, 14.

The bill provides for the appointment by the President and confirmation by the Senate of a commission of .seven persons, not more than four of whom shall "be of the same political party, or be advocates of prohibition, to hold office not exceeding two years, who shall investigate the alcoholic liquor traffic, its relations to the revenue and taxation, and its general economic, cr'mical, moral and scientific aspects, in connection with pauperism, crime, social vice, the public health and general welfare and who shall inquire as to the principal results of license and prohibitory legislation. The commissioners are to serve without salary, and report within eighteen months of the passage of the ect. An appropriation of $10,000 is made for their expenses.

A protracted struggle for precedence of eonsideration for pendirg measures, in which the respective meritB of tbe tariff commission bill, the Japanese indemnity fund and the Presidential Count measures were detailed at leBgth, occHpied the remaiader of the day,

Tbe charge by Beck that the protectionists were seeking to delay action on the tariff and that the journals owned by tbem had made avowals in this effect, was met by counter charges. The Chfair ruled the discussion out cf order, as involving the merits ol bills not under consideration.

Finally a motion to proceed to the Japanese indemnity fund bill was negatived^—yeas, 14 nays, 33—and then on Qiotion of Bayard the tariff bill wae taken up, and informally laid aside as unfinished l-usiness, for Monday.

Voorhees introduced a bill appropriating $125,000 for tbe improvement of the Wabash river.

Hiscock, chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, reported a joint resolution making an appropriation of $10,000, to be immediately available, to enable the L'ght House Board to meet extraordinary expenses consequent 011 the flood in the Mississippi river, passed.

The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the private calendar. The first bin on the calendar Was one for the relief of Charles P.

A BAD qviiaox*

An arrival from Bed river reports 2ou families below Alexandria^ living on rafts, and in a deplorable condition. The Bayon Sara levee is still giving way rapidly. It is all green earth, and crumbles as fast as the water pushes against it. The gap is about 1,000 feet wide, and the water, a& it goes through, about ten feet deep, out rapidly digging deeper and spreading iar and wide over the country. It will overflow part of this parish, and all west of Baton Rouge, and portions of Assumption, Iberville, St. Mary's, Iberia, and Terre Bonne, the richest sugar district in Louisiana. The False^river and Groeeette country will soBn be inundated. The loss of property 'and suffering of the people will he terrible.

The levee along the&ayon having given awav, Deer Creek is flooded, and all the country back of Greenville is covered with water from one to seven feet deep.

AIL the available labor in tbe county, Including the county. convicts, was employed in the construction of this levee, and now engaged io its preservation. As matters new stsnd, between 8,000 and 10,000 people in Washington county are homeless.

liabor Strike.

OMAHA, March 10—The situation the strike of the grading laborers is unchanged this naorniDg. No troops have been brought into the city yet, and no attempt made to resume work on the grading. About one hundred laborers at the smelting works struck for $1.75 per day, and several gangs of men from other establishments, making about 225 men, are on a strike in the city. Another procession .and demonstration is expected this afternoon. ,v

OMAHA, March 10.—Tbe situation of the Btrike is growing more serious hourly. Adjutant Gsn. Alexander arrived this evening to confer about bringing troop3 to protect the non-union laborers, when they resume work, and it is certain-that a number of companies of regulars and militia are ready to enter the city at brief notice. The greatest fear arises from the fact that some of the strikers are indulging in liquor, and may commit violence under its influence. Three hundred smelters quit without demanding higher wages, and about a score of men from the distillery and packing house. A majority of them have informed their employer* tbat they left under tbe coercion of the labor union, and not of their own sccord, and were aaxioiu to return as soon as the state of affairs would permit. At tbe strikers' meeting this evening speeches'were made urging, the men to act upon what are claimed as their rights, without rpgard to the military. i,

Previous to the committal ol MacLean, the Treasury SoUfitQC.„Btated that Be was prima facie sa&e. ind tnst the Magistrate had no authority tr inqtfite into the statelof his mind, it appears highly improbable that the charge of higtrt reason is advanced with a view of obtaining the d(Bath-penalty.

Begs leave to call the attention of tbe American people to its mode of business, and asks th« support of the art-loving public. We shall, as fist as possible, bring out in this country, in the highest style of artistic work, eveiy famous are work of the Old World, and at prices wbich will enable tbe people of moderate means to adorn their home* with the choicest art works.

As an introductory example of the quality and style of we»k which will be produced by UB, we will take pleasure in forwarding to any 'spplicant a Complimentary Copy Free of the first edition of art work produced by us in America.

Visitors to the Djre Gallery, London will remenfber the superb painting, occu pying nearly sn entire side of the splendid gallery, entitled

Of this magnificent painting—the meat important of Dore's Works—a pure line steel engraving has just been completed in England. This engraving is only sold by subscription, and the price is £6, or about $36. It is absolutely impossible to teenre a copy at a less price, except through this offer. The engraving represents the' Savior as he is ltavipg tbe Prsstorinm, after being condemned.to x^tdcifiction. He is descending th^ steps leadings from the judgment court. At the foot of the steps stands two burly executioners, in charge of the cress which the Savior is a besr. On the right are the followers arid believers of Christ, with despair in their every look, while the mother of our Lord is an agonized and fvintigg attendant. In the rear and on the left *re the judges and scoffers, surrounding Pontius Pilate, who are looking with fierce complacency on their work. The central figure is that of Christ, as he uncomplainingly descends the steps to take up the cross and bear it to he scene oi his crucifixion.

Tbe work in this portion of tbe engraving is more perfect and beautiful than we ha^l supposed conk" ever be executed. The expressions of the itces, the grouping of the figmest and the careful atten tion to detail in tlm drapery and accessories of the picture, are all carried out in perfection and with consummate skill. There is a very large number of figures in tbe work, and ajl are depicted with life-like faithfulness. It stands today unquestionably The Finest and Most Valuable

Engraving in tbe World, The engraving of the plates cost upward of $30,000, and no copies from it are sold at a lees price than $30, which, with duties and shipping added, brings the cost to American purcL-sers t) about $40 per cow.

This splendid work is the first Cf a series of tbe prominent art works of Europe, which the AMERICAN ART EXCHANGE will produce in America, simultaneous with their production in the Old World, and at prices which- will ensble the multitude to purchase.

This first work, "Qhriet Leaving the Prffltorium," will be used as an introductory advertisement, and a limited number will be furnitbed

FREE TO ALL APPLICANTS It is a correct reproduction of the Eng lish plate, which sails at $30 per copy many of which have been purchased by a number of Americans at that^rice, who subscribed for it through, the English house. The American edition will be furnished in the same fJze and with tbe same attention to perfect work as characterizes the $30 copies.

Tbe object of this extraordiosry offer is to bring our etUrprise into immediato recognition in this country, so tbat when we announce future works the public will bave had an opportunity to] udge of the quality and beauty of the art work produced by the American Art Exchange.

Until the first edition is exhausted, we will ship a perfect copy of the engraving, "CbiiBt Leaving the Proetorium," to any applicant. The engraving (which ia a very large one) will be put Up in a heavy tube, and sent by mail. Tbe oply charge will be the cost of tubing and portage, which will be 10 three-cent postage stsrops. It wss at first thought 20 cents would be sufficient for this charge, but from frequent breaking of the tubes in the mail bags it was decided to increase the thickness and strength of the tnbes (thus making them heavier) so that they could-not be broken except in case of an accident. This necessitated an increase of charges for this purpose to20 cents, or 10 three-cent stamps.

On receipt ot application wa will immediately forward this superb engraviog to any address in the United States, all charges prepaid, when fen three-cent stamps are enclosed in letter to cover postage and tube.
