Monday, May 1st, the change in the proprietorehip of this paper takes effect.

The democratic thunder is a stagy article. It ma,ken a loud noise, but there's nothing in it.

The Pike County Democrat thinks the Lord needs help this year, and if He's on the democratic side he certainly doe?.

There is one point upon which the democrats are agreed—they want to control city affairs. They will not do so, however.

Under a republican administration the fire department has been brought to a state of efficiency never atuined under democratic rule.

Our fire department will compare favorably with any in the country. A demcratic council couldn't improve it, and won't be called upon to do so.

The affidavit stating that Dr. Crapo never was a member of the knownothing institution, the "Patriotic Order Sons of America," lias not materialized yet.

The streets of Terre Haute are in better condition now than they have ever been before, and they have been made so under a republican administration.

No street improvements and no work for the men who make their living by work on the streets is the democratic war cry. Laboring men, how do you like it?

The democrats seem to think that the city expenses should not increase as the city expands its limits. This is a species of nonsense to which thinking men will pay no,att«ntion.

Democratic financiering reduced the tax levy one year to make a show of economy, but as the receipts were not equal to the expenditures the council had to establish the old rate.

A little information on munioipal affairs would be a valuable assistance to the Gazette. Since the city} campaign opened it has failed to make a correct statement of facts or figures.

Leonard Briggs ia a good businesa man, and is in every respect capable of discharging the duties which will devolve upon him as councilman from the first ward. His majority should be a large one.

It is not true, as stated by the Gacstte, that when the knownothing party disbanded its members all joined the republican ranks. In Terre Haute a number distinguished democrats conld be pointout who trained with that order.

of ed

In the fourth ward the friends of Joe Briggs are making it lively for the democrats, who are lees confident of success than they have been for years. The good work should go on until there is rolled up larger republican majority than that of two years ago.

With all the loud cry against "republican extravagance" thus far the Gazette has failed to point to a single instance where money has been foolishly spent, or where the expenses could have been curtailed, all of which goes to show that the charges are groundless.

The democrats are making their strongest fight in the third, fifth and sixth wards, but this should not make republicans too confident in the other wards. Hard work should be continued until the' polls close on election day. That is the only certain way of achieving success.

No petition signed by one hundred and fifty republican voters, asking the removal of an officer has ever been presented the police board. If any person h&s any charges to prefer against an officer there ia a proper way to do it, and when those charges are preferred they will receive proper attention and due considers tion. This statement is made for the information of the Gazette, that doet not aeon to be correctly informed pn any sub ject relating Qo city affairs

-. ..

?HE CITr COVRT.

The Gasette of last evening contained the following pi$ce of valnable information Z:-.. -V .. I

The couit ol the people iii fcvery city of the world is the mayor's court Tbls court has been abandoned In the city ol Terre Haute by a republican mayor, with the acquiescence of a republican council. There is not another city in -Indiana^ though the law is -the came, in which the mayor's court has been abandoned by either party, except Terre Haute.

Let the people remember this at the polls. To "fill the jail with the poor, atthe expense of the taxpayers, for minor offenses alone, is lite work of the republican party.

In the same column appeared this choice morceau: Under Deraocraeic inle the keeping of the prisoners in the station houfe, where they earned their bread by breaking stone, cost the city abont 32,500 per year. Under the present plan of abandoning the mayor's court, the keeping of the prisoners for the first quarter of 1882 cost the taxpayers about 1,250, making tC,000 for the year, as a fair estimate. And besides, the prisoners do not work and are kept In a vile place, the jail. This is all owing to republican legislation. Expenses doubled and prisoners kept in Jail to associate and come in contact with the wont criminals in the community.

There is a strong suspicion that the evening luminary deeires to retain the prize it recently offered in its own office. This city has a mayor's court that is ready at any and all times to try all cases brought before it in which it has jurisdiction. In no other city in Indiana are offenders treated differently from the matter in vogue here. In other cities in Indiana where mayors try state cases they do so in the capacity of magistrates, and where convictions are secured the prisoners are sent to jail as they are hers. If the jail is filled with the poor they are supported by the whole county, instead of the city alone. If the prisoners are not reqaired to support themselves by breaking stone the fault lies with our democratic board cf county commissioners. As long as the city had control of the prisoners they were mads to work. It is within the power of the county commissioners to make them do the Bame, and Mr. Lyne made such a proposition to the board,

bat thus far no action has

beentaken upon it. During the six months Mayor Lyne had jurisdiction he turned into the treasury enough money collected in fines to pay bis salary for oua year. When he sBecesed a fine it was collected. There was no complaint about him fining men, sepding them to the station house to be released within an hour and probably -run in again ihe same day. That the cases arf" tried under the state law is no fault of the mayor or council. With these few corrections the Gazette's statements are nearly correct. After the election it will probably recover from its political jim jams sufficiently Jto make clearer and fairer statements concerning ita political opponents.

Mr. Sam. P. Butler, who takes editorial management of the Terie Haute Express, is considered one of the brightest paper men in Washington. He has betn several years the correspondent here of tbe BoEton Evening Star, and was also attached to the editorial staff of the Critic and Don Piatt's Capital.—[Washington Special to Indianapolis Journal.

Mr. Butler has' been expected here foT several days, but has been detained in consequence of sickness of a relative. He will commence his duties next Monday with the good wishes of many friends and under the most favorable auspices. The Express, under the new ownership, hss very bright prospects. Its new proprietors are energetic and capable, and have the support and friendship of nnmeTbus influential friends. %~.

W. A. Sanford's name is announced to-day as a candidate lor the nomination for county recorder. He has lived in Yigo county twenty-nine years and has taught school fifteen years in several out townships, especially Riley, Honey Creek and Linton has had charge of the Lockport schools for four years. He is known throughout the county as a good republican and capable man. Mr. Banford was the republican nominee for recorder four years 8go, but was defeated with the remainder of his ticket.

While the second ward is reliably republican the friends of Charley Rottman ehould not allow themselves to be caught napping. The friends of the democratic candidate are doing all they can for him in a quiet way, thereby endeavoring to steal a march on their opponents. This should put the second ward republicans on their givard nod cause theau to turn out in force on Tuesday next.

One of the last acts of the democratic council was to increase the number of the police force. This action was deemed necessary by both parties, but now, for election purposes, comes the Gazette and makes a loud howl against the increased expense' in that department. If all the charges and complaints are sifted down they will be found on a par with this one.

There is neither tn.th nor reason in the assertion that the lax levy will have be increased this year to defray the city's expenses. There is at present in the treasury nearly $36,000 more than there was this time iast year, in spite of 'republican extravsgance.'' On the con. trary there will be a possibility of reduction In the rate if there ano'her year of republican rule.

It requires considerable gafl to make the assertion that a democratic council put-the streets in as good condition for $6,000 as did the republicans for $18,000. This is the kind of stuff the democrat are endeavoring to elect their ticket upon, but intelligent men will not be hoodwinked by it.

Democrats are terribly worried over the financial condition of the city. It is 'too bad. The floating debt increased a little over $9,000 last year, but then there is $36,000 more in the treasury with which to meet it now than there waR a year ago, and that'B what hurls the democracy.,

For the benefit of doubting democrats who profesa deep anxiety on the subject, the Express is authorised to Btate that Henry "Creager voted for John O'Reilly for assessor that he voted for P. B. O'Reilly fdr mayor some years ago, and that he voted for Hugo Dnenweg for treasurer.

BRIDGE BO.ND9 PAID.

1 a oMicuce to the order of the coooty commissioner?, the county treasurer has paid $20,000 of bridge bonds with interest as ordereid. Thq bonds wen paid as presented, on the principle of "first come, first served," as a matter of course. Over $30,000 were presented. Eight per centum interest -per-anBum was paid-en the bonds from date of last payment to date of payment under this order and six per cent per annum from that time to maturity. Th» amount of interest paid in advance was $2,400, being for two years, or twelve per centum on $20,000.

After increasing the number of policemen before retiring from power the democrats are now sUrk mad beeanse the republicans have had the temerity to retain the same number and pay thedk regularly. The Prenidcnt at Fortress Moftroe.

FOHTRHBB MONEOK, April 28.—The graduating exercises cf the United States Artillery School took place last evening in the presence of President Artbnr, the Secretaries of War and Navy and other distinguished visitors. General Hancock presented the diplomas. The President and party Sade a tour of inspection of the eeveral ships of the fleet, witnessing the drills, fete. The President, from the bridge of the Tennessee, exploded spar torpedoes. The officers of the fleet were subsequently received on board the Tallapoosa. Later, General Hancock and Mitchell were invited on board the Tallapoosa, which then slowly steamed oat of the barbor for Washington, the crews manning the yards and cheering as the vessel paised, while the fortress and flag ship fired salutes. The officers of the German school ship attended the hop tonight. It waa a brilliant affair.

BLAINE AMD BELMONT. TV.V F?

WASHINGTON, April 28.—There have been eeveral rumors in circulation as to [Representative Belmont's belligerent intentions towards ex-Secretary Blaine. A Western Associated Press reporter has ascertained from close personal friends of Belmont thai he has no such intention. He did consult his friends as to what he ahonld do, and they advised him not to take anv steps towards calling Blaine to a personal account, as that would be ont of place. Belmont has assented to this, and agreed to abide by the choice. The report that Belmont intended to resign from the Foreign Affaire Committee is not trne. He is determined to go ahead with the investigation.

WASHINGTON, April 28.—SeprcBenta* tive Belmont has addressed a letter to Chairman Williams, of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, in which he says: He

THE MAE BOtJTEBS.

The Reerdell Star Route case was taken up again to-day, and Woodward continued his testimony:

A letter waa received from the Postmaster at Animas City, Colorado, saying that route No. 38,145 is an entirely unnecessary expenditure of public funds.

Woodward's examination was resumed, and he read a circular sent out by Brady, with the initials "W. H. T." (William. H. Turner) upon one corner, directing Postmasters along the route to fill11 up the blanks enclosed, which provided for an increase of service from two trips' to three trips per week, and to see that they were within fifty hours. A letter from Dorsey to Brady, in R&rdell's hand writing, was also read, concerning an increase of service on this same route. Another letter endorses the petitions filed with the department for* increased service, saying tfuiseivice is necessary, to hi3 (Dorsey's) personal knowledge. The introduction of these letters was attended by a constant wrangle between counsel, but the Court steadily overruled the objections and admitted the letters.

In the course of his remarks, Merrick said he would state right here that the Government had ample evidence to prove the guilt of 8tephen W. Dorsey.

Ingersoll—-Pll bet you a thousand dollars you have not. Merrick—That is not the way we try cases ii) law.

Ingersoll—You know the old saying, "Put up or shut up." Another letter from Dorsey to Brady was read, which the prosecution claimed would show that Dorsey knew the petitions were being prepared in advance of their reception at the department.

Ingersoll read the petition upon wbich the increase on route 38,145 was based. It had over 150 signers, beginning with the Surveyor General of the Territory, and embracing the names of civil and military officers and prominent citizens. He also read letters from Senator Chaffee and oiher prominent persons, urging upon General Brady an increase on this route.

In the cross examination, witness stated that there was nothing extraordinary on the face of the circular sent out by Brady to Postmasters relative to expediting route No. 38,145 it was not an unusual .proceeding.

The case will be resumed on Thursday next. .• BOND REDEMPTION,

WASHINGTON, April 28.—A call for bonds, whioh will probably be issued on Monday next, will be for about $11,000,000, which will redeem all the continued 6'a of July and August, 1861, now uncalled, The next call will begin upon the continued 6's under the act of March 3rd, 1863, of which there are outstanding nearly $48,000,000, Then calls will begin on the continued 5V.

THE PERUVIAN INVESTIGATION. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 28.—The Foreign Affairs Committee has decided to ask the Hoase-ior authority to send a sub-committee to New York, for the purpose of taking testimony in connection with the Chili-Peru investigation. The committee has made arrangements to hear Senator Blair On Monday. 1HX XEBBASKA CASE.

The House Committee on Judiciary has agreed to report to the House a resolution asking that the bill heretofore reported in favor of seating Majors as an additional Representative from Nebraska be recommitted to the committee, and the committee authorised to send tor persons and pa. pers in order to ascertain the facts in regard to the certified copy of a census report for the State of Nebraska, upon which the commiitee decided to seat Majors. It appears that the committee was informed that the copy referred to it as a basis for action save the census of the 8tate for 1872. while, in fact, it gave the census for 1874. The object of the resolution agreed upon is to ascertain who is responsible for the miareprsentation. I

COBFIRMED.

WASHINGTON, April 28.—The Senate in executive session to-day, confirmed the following: Nicholas Fish, of New York, Minister to Belgium John M. Francis, of New York, Charge d'Afiaires to Portugal William Warner, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri Lonis J.

From this decision an appeal waa taken, but the case has not yet come before Commissioner Marble for his action thereon.

Whffe at the University he made more use of the library than ia- common among students, and was distinguished among his classmates for his knowledge of general literature. In 1826 he was "approbated to Dreach" by the Middlesex Association of Ministers but his health at this time failing, he spent the winter in South Carolina and Florida. In 1829 he wss ordained as colleague to Henry Ware, at the Second Unitarian church of Boston. He belonged to a clerical race. For eight generations, reckoning back to his sncestor, Peter Buckley, one of the founders of Concord, Mass., there had always been a clergyman in the family either on the paternal or the maternal side. He was the eighth in succession of this consecutive line of ministers.

A small volume entitled "Nature" (1836), an Cration before the Phi Betf. Kappa Society, with the title of "The Amerifcan Scholar" (1837) an address to the senior class of the Cambridge Divinity School (1838), and "The Method of Nature" (1841), contained the most prominent peculiarities of his scheme of idealism, end by their freshness and depth of thought and compact beauty of expression, allured many readers into becoming disciples.

In 184C he collected and published a volume of his poems. The next year he Visited England, delivered a series of lectures before a union of Mechanics' Institute and other societies. |In 1850, "EJ« says on Representative Men," a series of masterly mental portraits, with some of the features over-charged, was published. In 1850 he published "English Traits," a woik in which he seizes and emphasises the characteristics of the English mind and people, and in 1860, _"The Canduct of Life." "May Day" and other pieces (poems), sppeared in 1867 "Society^and Solitude" in 1870. AB a writer, Mr. Emerson was distinguished for a singular union of poetic imaginations with practical acutenese. His vision took a wide sweep in the realms of the ideal, but was no less"firm and penetrating in the sphere of facts. The bril* liant transcendentalist waa evidently a man not easy to be deceived in matters pertaining to the ordinary course of human affairs. With him-, however, wit was not an end, but a means, and usually employed for the detection of pretense and imposture. Mr. Emerson's style in the nicest harmony with character of his thoughts. It condensed almost to abruptness. Fluency, however, 'Was out of the question in a style wbich combines such austere economy of wotfds with the determination to load every word with vital meaning. But the great characteristic of Mr .'Emerson's intellect wss the perceptions and sentiments of {beauty. His observation, his style, obeyed the controlling sense of beauty, which was at the heart oi his nature,-and instinctively avoided the ugly and the base. The last two or three years he has remained quietly at his home in Concord.

Many Thanks,

Evansville Journal. The Terre Haute Express has really been sold as rumored two or three days ago, and the new proprietors, Messrs. Allen & Thompson, are to take hold on or about May 1st- The new editor, Mr. Samuel P. Butler, is a journalist of experience and training, who will be found eaual to every demand made upon him. He began bisjournalistic career ten or twelve years ago on the- Cincinnati Enquirer, and afterwards did several years' service on the Journal and Sentinel at Indianapolis. Five or six years ago he went to Washington with Mr. Keenan, then in charge of the Washington Bureau of the Chicago Times, and has since acted as correspondent of several leading journals, besides doing editorial work on the Capital and Critic. He has energy, writing ability and a well-developed "nose for news."

Of Mr. James H. McNeely, the retiring editor and manager, it is hardly necessary lo speak to Efausville readers who know him well from long and intimate association. His work a* Terre Haute, however, is deserving of .more than passing mention. He was called there to reclaim a greatly damaged, and apparently almost ruined, property, snd he has worked unceasingly, to that ond ever since, and he has succeeded so well that there are now few^ more valuable newspaper properties in the State. He has had the entire business and editorial control, and has more than sustained the high reputation with which he entered upon the woik. The Express under his management -has been a first class newspaper and the vigor and ability displayed on its editorial page have made it a recognized political power.

There is a story told in Dublin that the late Lady C. who, when the Lady Mayoress declared herself to be the "rankest" woman in the city), was requeated by her friends, upon the occasion of her husband being knighted, to get up aa orchestral concert in honor of the event. She acceded, and sent immediately for Mr. -y, with whom ahe consulted upon the matter. "How will you manage it? she asked eagerly. "How many fiddles shall we have?" "Well," said y, I shall engage eight firsts and six seconds." "Stop!" said Lady C. None of your second fiddles for me, I have money enough to do it well, Let tjiem all be first!"

The Fastest Bail way BnnaiogPhiladelphia Record. The fastest time ever made in this country by a train of three passenger cars was made on Saturday afternoon laat, when party of journalists from Philadelphia, Baltimore and other places were whirled to Cap* May over the West Jersey railroad. The trip of 81} miles was accomplished in 83} minutes. The run to Millville of 41 miles was made in 42 minutes. Many of the miiee, especially after Jtfillvill? had been passed, were covered fn less than 50 seconds. The engine accomplishing this work was No. 22, in charge of Harry Reinhart. This trip formally opened the season at the Cape.

The mining fever has. raged fmioualy in Amherst, Mass., and its victims iaclndo tbe shrewdest trade and professional men in town. The source of infection was Col. William S. Clark, late president of the Agricul toral College, who is regarded as honestly believing in the schemes which he induoed his townsmen to engage* in. The amount actually invested by Amherst men in nearly worthless mines is placed at $600,000, which is a large sum for a place of that size. The bobble has now burst, and the Colonel is being sued.

To show that Captain Eads* project of raising vessels of 4,000 to 6,000 tons fortysix feet out of the water and putting them on a railway is not a visionary one, the fact is adduced that in the Bombay hydraulic dock weights are lifted of 12,000 tons. Engineering skill, it is safe to say, can lift anything, except herhapa a mortgage.

A company, with $5,000,000 (capital has been organized in New York to manufacture the "secret telephone," the invention of Professor J. Harris Rogers, of Washington. When two persons ate talking no one else, although he may be on the same line, can listen to the conversation^
