QUALIFICATION OF TOTEBS. The law relating to voters is as follows, and all will do well to read it carefully: "In all elections not otherwise provided for, evey male citizen of the United States of the age of twenty-one years and upwards, who shall have resided in the state six months, and in the township sixty days, and in the ward or precinct thirty days immediately preceding tuch election, and every male of foreign birth of the age of twenty-one years and upward who shall have resided in the United States ore year, and shall have resided in the state during the six months, and in the township sixty days and in the ward or precinct thirty days immediately preceding euch election, and shall have declared his intention to become a citizen of tlie United States, on the subject of naturalization, shall be entitled to vote in the township or precinct where he may reside."

Elsewhere we publish the articles of association of the Terre Haute Society for Organizing Charity. They wers drawn by the committee on organization, consisting of ayor Lyne, Rev. C. R. Henderson and Hon. Wm. Mack. The object in publishing them now is to get them before the public in order that they may be carefully considered previous to the calling of a meeting for discussion and adoption. This is a very worlby movement and ought to receive hearty encouragement and co-operation. It is under the auspioes of wise heads, sympathetic hearts and beneficent hands. It is part of a general movement for the amelioration of distress, the protection of communities from imposition, and the encouragement of habits of industry.

The Ledger proves too much for the good of its party. It admits that Louis Finkbiner has been a good trustee, which it could net possibly deny. It then argues that inasmuch as he has been trustee two years, he ought now to give place to Charley Ray who has not been in offica. By the same token, gentlemen of the Ledger, Lawrence Burget, who has not been in office, should now be preferred to Frank Armstrong, who has been fattening in the official pasture nine years. Sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander."

Louis Finkbiner has made the best trustee this township has had in many years. The affairs of the office have been managed economically and satisfactorily under his administration. The expenses of the poor have been reduced 26 per cent, per annum by him. Will the voters of Harrison township defeat a man like this to put in office one who has had no experience in township affairs, and who was nominated because his party believed he conld catch the votes of the boys?

No better man than Lswrence Burget was ever nominated by any party in this township. He is honest, faithful and capable. No one doubts his ability to discharge the duties incumbent on the assessor in a manner satisfactory to all. There can, then, be no reason why a republican ehould pcratch his name from the ticket. Give the old soldier a chance.

Guiteau has at last succeeded in disposing of bis old clothes. A circus firm has purchased them, The suit worn at the time of the assassination brought $200, and the one worn during the trial $150. The first place they are put on exhibition they should be seized, stuffed and burned in effigy.

Vote early.

THE AB8E8S0BSHIP.

I A special effort is being made to defeat

TERM HAUTE, SUNDAY AlftUL 2, 1882 Lawrence Burget. republican nomine* for

MAJIAQKB

assessor Harrison township. It is argiud with great vehemence that his democratic competitor, Frank Armstrong, has been nine years in the county andit 01'a office and that therefore he is the only man who ought to be thought of as an assessor. His knoweldge of real estate values is.»Uo harped on to a great extent by bis advocates. It should bs borne in mind th the assessor has nothing to do in a^pftising real estate except7toestimate the value of additional improvements that may be made from year to year. For this duty Mr. Burget ia as well qualified as Mr. Armstrong, as he has had experience and has proved his ability. In the important duly of assessing personal property, especially stocks of merchandise, Mr. Burget is better qualified than Mr. Armstrong for the reason that he has been in mercantile business for some years while Mr. A. has not. "Honors are therefore easy" on these points. Mr. Burget has served as deputy assessor, and in that position gave entire satisfaction. He has a natural aptitude for Bueh basinet s. Mr. Armstrong's long experience in the auditor's office ought to fit him for assessing and doubtless has fitted him, but if he is so essential in this field of usefulness as his admirers argue, what would community do if he should die or move awaj Hadn't they better elect Burget so as to have somebody else to depend on in ca?e some calamity should befall Armstrong?

Now, in reference to the relative merits of the two men from patriotic and political standpoints: When the rebellion broke out Mr. Burget went into the army, served faithfully through the war, and returned with his senses cf sight and smell impaired by being ehot in the face while in the discharge of duty. For this reason, he had to quit the printing business, that he was versed in, and go into other occupations where geod eyesight is not so essential. Mr. Armstrong has never made snch sacrifices for his country, but has been for nine years in the enjoyment of a cozy, profitable place in the auditoi's office. Moreover he has been mixed up in all the objectionable schemes of the odious court house ring. He has been.cheek by jowl with the democratic ringsters and bosses, and has been their subservient instrument, and should he be elected assessor he will continue to be. Mr. Barget is nobody's tool, but if elected will be perfectly at liberty to perform his cfficial duty without fear or favor.

Mr. Armstrong is a dyed in the-wool democrat. Mr. Burget is a true blue republican. Surely there is enough in this difference ts entitle the latter to the vote of every republican. Union democrats, too, those who were in the army especially, ought to vote for Burget. Many of them doubtless will do so. He is a leading member and an officer in the Grand Army cf the Republic, and the bold soldier boys will rally to his standard and work lor his success. It will argue badly for th« people's patriotism if they allow the loss to him of a vote. He cught to and we believe he will run fully up to his ticket.

THE OFFICE OF TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE. The Banner of yesterday contained a very sensible article on this subject, of which we give the following translation: "This is an office of greater importance than is generally supposed, and in filling it great difficulty is experinced in getting 'the right man in the right place.' The incumbent is not only custodian of the township funds, but is also inspector of schools and guardian of the'poor.

It will readily ba seen that it is not sufficient that a man should' be a good accountant to fill the office satisfactorily —more is required of him he must ba a man who can combine experience with sufficient common sense to discover at all times the 'true inwardness of the case he should be a cool end deliberate man, therefore it is not immaterial whether a young man, be he ever so skillful in some things, but lacking in experience and liable to commit grave errors, or a man who has obtained experience in the school of life, fills the office. Our present trustee is a man who possesses all those qualities. Even if we do not consider his career as an officer for two years— which career lies unfolded before us like an open book, ehowing an excellent record—his whole life shows us the great characteristic presence of mind united with consistent, never ceasing energy,

Mr. Finkbiner came to this city in 1857, when only nineteen years old. He immediately secured a situation with the hardware firm of J. Cook & Son, with whom ho remained until the firm dissolved nineteen years later, after which he was engaged iu the same business witbA. G. Austin & Co. Of the twenty-five years he has been in this city, twentythree of them have been devoted to I he hardware business, and during that long period he held but two situations. Without means when he came here, by industry, honesty and economy he has succeeded in securing for himself and family a comfortable home, and for along time has bssn a punctual tax-payer. The fact is menliontd merely to show the reliability of the man nominated by the republicans for the office. Can any one be in doubt as to whom he should vote for next Monday? We think not. Mr. Finkbiner's competitor may be a very clever young man, but he certainly lacks the experience and presence of mind of the republican candidate, consequently he cannot bo as well qualified for the office. The best should always be chosen from among all the applicants, therefore we say Finkbiner is the man required for the office, and he should ba elected by a hapdaome majority."

^Lawrence Burget is a good business man and a man of good common sense. He i3 energetic and pushes everything which he undertakes. He has all the qualifications to make a good assessor and no republican should neglect to vote for him.

A LAST WORD.

The prxng campaign has closed, and it now remains for the voters of this township to say *ho shall manage their affairs during the next two years. The candidates have been before the people & sufficient length of time to tender their recommendations for election to the offices for which their parties have nominated them. The republicans have this .year presented an unusually strong ticket, and one for which we do not believe any republican can con?c:entioasly refuse to vote, and for which no republican should certainly refuse to vote. The cry that the democratic candidates should be elected because*th4y "belong to the boys" should not prevail, nor do #6 balieve that it will with the. thinking men of either party. In nominating its ticket the republican party selected its candidates after paying due regard to their qualifications. The selections are all t^e best that could have been made, and all can easily be elected if all republicans will do their duty.

In off years the vote is usually light, but this should not bathe caro this year. Two years ago the republicans had a very hard battle to regain their lost ground in this township, city, county and state, aod it is important that no ground be lost this year. In another month in the city six councilmen are to be elected, and next November comes the state and county elections. A democratic victory at the present time might prove disastrous to the republican party in subsequent campaigns, and for tbis reason every republican should take a sufficient interest in the election to tnrn out to-morrow and cast his vote for the candidates of his party. The democrats are not making much noise but they are quietly at work, and the indications are thet they will poll a large vote, This should put republicans on their guard, and infuse them with sufficient energy to turn out and vote, even if they cannot devote the day to work Another reason why the republicans should turn out is that the trastees to be elected constitute the county board of education, and each trustee has charge of the schools in bis township. The trustee of this township has had two years' experience in the affiirB of his office, while his democratic opponent has none whatever in public affairs, and a man of experience vrho has fully demonstrated his ability should on all occasions be preferred to one who is utterly inexperienced.

A republican victory to-morrow will go far toward insuring a republican victory in the elections which follow this year, and will have about the same effect on the democracy as the republican victory in the state in October, 1880. This is no time for republicans to think of scratching tickets or swapping votes. Every man should vote bis ticket straight, and if this course is pursued a sweeping republican victory will be tbe result.

COLONEL J. P. LUSE.

We regret to learn that this widely known and astly distinguished journalist has severed his connection with the Indianapolis Journal. Colonel Luse is one of the best newspaper wiiters of the country, and his brilliant and versatile genius, fertile brain, large experience, extensive reading and intimate familiarity with the demands of newspaper readers cf the day have enabled him to enrich and «dorn the eolumns of the Journal and give to that paper an unusually strong hold upon the regards of the best thought of its patrons. Colonel Lusa lias been all his life a student, a reader, and a thinker. His journalistic repertoire includes much that lies beyond the boundaries of political and partisan disputations and disquisition^ Colonel Lusc is familiar with facts, and handles them with rcmaikable skill but he is quite as much at home and at ease in the realms of fancy, and when in the mood to Eive full play to his imagination, embellishes even a dry sub. ject with suc'i happy conceits as to command applauie. Few men arc more thoroughly equipped for journalistic work, and it is, therefore, not surprising that his talents are in demand elsewhere, and wo shall have occasion to congratulate the newspaper that has the gcod fortune to secuie his services:—[rndianapolis Sentinel.

Mr. Luse, as the Sentinel remarks, is one of the best newrpaper writers of the country. As a niagtzice writer he would becom9 eminent with experience. He has bad a number of very tempting offers to accept positions upon leading papers in large cities, and would be a valuable acquisition to any paper.

Democratic gains in off years are caused by republicans remaining away from thepolls.. This should not be the case this year. Every republican should turn out to-morrow, vote early and then devote the remainder of the day to getting his neighbars out.

There are rumors of an unpleasantness between Senators Sherman and Hampton on account of a letter damaging to the character of the latter, which it is alleged was written by a treasury employe, at the instigation of Mr. Sherman.

It would be very poor policy to change a thoroughly efficient official for an inexperienced one without the leaBt experience in public affairs, itnd we do not believe the v,oters of Harrison township will do it.

The Express has made arrangements to procure the election returns at the earliest fo&ible moment, and will endeavor to publish them in full on Tuesday morning.

Let every republican go to the polls to-morrow morning, and as many as can do

should remain all day and give the ticket all the assistance in their power.

The entire republican ticket is worthy the support of all good citizens, and it should be elected without the crossing of a or the dotting of an i.

Louis Finkbiner is worthy and qualified, facts well known to the tax payers, which ought to insure his election beyond doubt.

Every republican should turn out lo tnurrow and do his whole duty.

After to-morrow the candidates c.«ui take a rest.

VOTE STRAIGHT.

It is always the safest coarfe for repub licans to vote the unscratched ticket.. At this election there is no reason why they should not do so. They have a first rate ticket all thrdugh, with the various party elements well represented. A sweeping victory in the township election will conduce to the same result in the city election. The good influence will extend to the county, state and congressional elections in November. This township, city and county have proven themselves to be republican, and the party should not permit it- banner to be lowered. The way to make a party strong and invincible is to nominate good men as has been done this time, elect them, and thus march on from one victory to another. A township or city victory is a stepping stone to higher achievements. •'Stand by your party friends" ia a safe motto under all circumstances.

Louis Finkbiner has been trustee only two years, yet be has made a record that few officials enjoy. It would be both ungrateful and foolish to turn him out and put in an inexperienced man who haB shown no aptitude for public duties. Fortunately there is no danger that this will be done. ..

Nationals who are getting tired of leing in the "forlorn hope," now have an opportunity to join a live party, as so many did in 1S80. The doors of the republican church are still open. C?me in and be welcome.

All that is necessary to insure a sweeping republican victory to-morrow is to get out the full vote of the party. Every republican ought to see tbat his share of this duty is performed.

Attorney General Baldwin gives it as his opinion that the word "Republican" at the head of an election ticket on the inside does not render it illegal.

The words "republican ticket" at the head of a ticket do not invalidate it, democratic opinion to the contrary net* withstanding.

Soldiers should vole for Lawrence Burget for Assessor, as he was one of their number in "the times that trie! men's souls."

No man has a better record as a soldier than Lawrencs Burget, and the old veterans should aid him all in their power.

The voting precincts in the various wards will be found in another column, and voters will do well to study them.

There are surface indications of a general cleaning out of the old officials and employee of the treasury department.

Lawrence Burget is of German descent, and for this and other reasons the Germans take very kindly to him.

No republican should endanger the success of his ticket by neglecting to vote to-morrow.

Not a single reason has yet been given why the republican ticket should not be electrd.

Vote and see that your neighbor does likewise.

Whisky en the War Path, CLEVELAND, O., April-1.—A very large and demonstrative meeting was held tonight in the City Armory, in response to a call by the Liquor Dealers Protective Leaeue for liberal minded citizens to assemble. Resolutions were presented, the preamble of which sets forth the Pond liquor law levies unequal taxation, permits criminal prosecution without the intervention of the Grand Jury, enforces violation of contracts, and tends to concentrate and monopolize the traffic therefore.

Resolved, That we condemn and reprove the majority of our Republican Legislature for enacting the Pond bill into a pretended law.

Resolved, That we want no bribed informers nor percentage-paid Prosecutors and Judges among us.

Resolved, That we call upon all voters in Monday's election to most emphatically announce at the polls their disapprobation cf -he Republican party, which, by this enactment, has undertaken to usurp power, to perpetuate a shameful injustice, and to violate our dearest and most sacred principles of personal free dom and property rights.

Speeches were made in English by -L. A. Russell, the chairman Hon. M. A. Foran, Hon. J. P. Green (councilman), C. C. Schellentrager and others, and in German by ex-Governor Jacob Mueller. The meeting was composed of men of both parties. The resolutions were adopted.

jOHjr DAKEHHAUEB* Master of Arctic Expedition.,

The tliird officer of the je aniiette, John Wilson Danenhauer, was born in Chicago in 1849, graduated from the Naval Academy in 1870 and served two years with the European squadron in the Juniata. He was also with the Portsmouth two years in a surveying and exploring expedition.

The story of the Jeannette is another painful chapter in the old and fascinating romance of arctic travel. The icy sea has always held a wonderful charm for the hardy spirits who have with bold and resolute pertinacity attempted to solve the problem of an open sea at the pole, to determine the outlines of continents and islands.

Thtf* risk, exposure and disaster of theso arctic expeditions are enormous, and they have at least conclusively settled the great fact that no practical advantage can bo gained by further exploration. A sea nopelessly and always choked with ice, and a climate of absolute frost, can not be the scene of human activity.

The scientific results of the Jeannette expedition, however, may be summed up as extremely important. Islands have been discoverSa which may be utilized as polar stations and for pur* poses of observation. The extremes of the weather reported are less severe than at similar latitudes to the north of this continent. The average depth of the sea covered ^y the Jeannette is extremely slight, and places it on a par with the Baltic, and the inference from this would be that the Arctic Sea north of Siberia is in fact an inland sea, far more, for instance than the Gulf of Mexico, but not unlike the German Sea. The salt character of the water has not been reported. *x- •r-

A Plucky Iowa Girl.

For socne time past, says The Chariton Patriot, Miss Joe Millan, of this city, has been olosely watching a quarter-section of land in Harlan county, Nebraska, which she was particularly anxious to call her own, as it was not pnly a very desirable tract of land, but was located between the farms of her brother-in-law and nephew. Unfortunately, however, it was already pre-empted by one of the sterner sex, but he forfeited his right by abandoning his claim for a greater length than law permits. Another man

Killanthe

e-emptedit as a timber claim, but Miss knew that his claim was not a good one, as there were about forty acres of timber on the tract, whereas the land laws hold that land taken as timber claims must be destitute of timber. The occupant, however, tested his rights in the general land office, and from there to the interior department, at Washington. Before leaving Nebraska, last Summer, to return to her home in this city, Miss Millan made arrangements to have the result of the investigation at Washington telegraphed to her as soon as the decision was made. On Monday, of last week she received a dispatch containing the single word "Come," and took the midniglit train of that night for the disputed territory. Owing to a tedious railroad delay she did not arrive there until Wednesday, when she at once went to the land office with her papers all in proper shape for record, and she was not a minute too soon, for before the ink was diy half a dozen men came in to secure the same piece of land, each trying to beat the others and arrived just in time to find that they had been beaten by a woman. There is still an opportunity, however, for one of them securing the coveted piece of land, but in order to do so, it will be necessary to marry the fair owner.

After having her land fully secured, she bought a small house and had it moved on her farm, bought the necessary furniture to go to housekeeping, and manifested her well-known generosity by inviting her strongest competitor to take tea with her. Among the decorations of her Nebraska house there hangs conspicuously above the door the motto, "There Is No Place Like Home."

Her Mistake.

Why should a young girl for the sake of amusement allow herself to be indiscreet, or to do improper things? That there is any real fun in such conduct is a mistake, and there certainly is a great deal ofdangcr. Like all wrong-doing, it leaves behind a tormenting record, and sometimes more serious results. "Sow one reckless young miss received a lesson for her indiscretion in making advances to a stranger is thus told in the Philadelphia Mercury:

The seventeen-year old daughter of a respectable physician fell (or imagined she did) wildly in love with a mellowvoiced baritone in a well-known opera company. Under an assumed name she wrote him confiding and romantic little notes, and finally sent him her photograph.

The face was so lovely that it piqued the singer's curiosity, but it was vain that he plead for an opportunity to see her. The girl could only enjoy her escapade so long as she maintained her incognito.

Finally the baritone, noting, the name of the photographer, visited nis parlors and ascertained his correspondent's name. Then he wrote to her under her real address, saying that he had identified her, and she could take the choice of liaving her picture and notes back, and giving him two hundred dollars in cash, or he would tell a reporter of The Police Gazette the stoiy, and have the picture published.

Thertf is little likelihood that such a threat would have been carried out, but the girl was so terribly frightened that sho s6nt him all the money sne could scrape together, and the rest of the sum in jewelry.

If this cures her of making love to strange men,—or to any other man,— perhaps her experience was worth its price.

A correspondent wants to know where the expression "Let up" comes from. We believe it comes from the fellow who isn't o» top in the fight.

-S TKKSTAB BOOTKBS.

WASHINGTON, April ].—In tfe Stai Route cases tbis morning, Kerr began tbe opening for the prosecution, and discussed at length the subject of conspiracy, claiming that it did not follow that when avert acts were set up the prosecution must establish the fact tbat the crime or misdemenor was actually committed, to prove a conspiracy. The avert act needs merely to be something to show concert -of action in the logical movement to carry out the conspiracy. Kerr then discussed the indictment, denying their insufficiency or vagueness, as claimed by the defense.

Kerr was followed for the prosecution by Merrick, who began his argument with a review of the point raised by tbe defence, tbat tbe fiodlng of the indictment was irregular, because of failure to comply with the requirements of the Maryland ststute cf 1722, and then discovered the matter of the Maryland statute of 1722, which he said he had noi found in any of the Maryland reports, and bad not been practiced usder by any law of Maryland or the District of Columbia. With reference to the claim of the defense that enact in the discretion of our executive officer is not a crime, he said the prosecution was net for thai, but tbat the defendants were being, tried for crime, and he appealed to the defense to let thexase go to the jury as soon as possible so that if innocent,-, the defendants might be acquttted, and the country relieved of the scandal.

While-Merrick was speaking Attorney General Btewster entered the room and took a seal with counsel for the prosecution.

Bliss, on behalf ot the prosecution, began the closing argument upon the motion ta quash the indictment, commencing with an exhaustive and technical defense of the indictment, as a good and valid one. He said that if the doctrine advanced by the defense should be accepted by the courts and country, it would only be necessary for a public officer to resign to escape absoluely from all liability for criminal acts done while in office, for he could not be impeached after be had resigned, and could not be tried by the^courts, because the acts were done while an Executive officer, and, as tbe defence claim, in the exercise of a discretion which was his by law.

At this point a colloquy arose between counsel with reference to the part the press was taking in the trial and considerable acrimony was developed, but the judge put a stop te it and Bliss concluded hit argument.

Judge Shellabarger than began tbe closing ergument for the defense, fie urged the insufficiency of the indictment under section 5,440, inasmuch as it did not eet forth a crime defined by that section, and one for weich the punishment was defined. He contended that the case was one for a ceurt ef impeachment, and that this court has nothing to do with it.

Judge Wylie said he would consider the arguments and decide upon them hereafter, giving counsel two or three days notice of the time be would render a decision.
