The treaty with Mexico, which GenAral Grant and Romero, the Mexican minister, have prepared, will probably be sent to the senate within the next two weeks. It provides that the United States yields to the duty upon augar, leaf tobacco, and Henecquen, a kind of hemp which is imported in large quantities from the lower parts of Mexico. Mexico, on the other hand, yields the tariff on American machiaery, and for the most part on raw material produced in this country. There is also an allowance made for certain kinds of hard woods and a few other tropical products not found basis of the treaty is in the leading articles mentioned above.

GAMBETTA.

France, since the days of Louis XVI., has experienced so many political vicissitudes, has been such a seething caldron of human passion and revolutionary struggles as to be a fitting field for the bold spirits who, rising from obscurity, became stars in French history—who in our country might live out uneventful lives, but in France, developed by conflict and the long struggle for constitutional liberty, were as famous as patriots. Their career was as much the result of environment as of inherent genius. There is in the Frenchman's

BOUI

one overmastering pride,one

ruling passion, one grand idea—it is France. Whether empire or republic, still he cries 'vive la France.' The politician, statesman or soldier who strikes this chord with sympathetic touch is enshrined in the Gallie heart. Such a man was Gambetta. Fifteen years ago when such men were despising the Bonaparte empire he attracted public attention by his outspoken liberalism. Ho spoke openly for republican government. When the emperor fell at Sedan he was among the first to proclaim the republic. He was in Paris when the German armies surreunded it. It was at this time when the fate of France was so utterly hopeless that he seized that opportunity which comes but once to men. If it did not result favorably to France It did to him in making him the symbol of the French courage and despair which sought to undo Sedan and Metz. A balloon which shot up from Paris and crossed the German lines carried Gambetta to Amiens to become the soul of a desperate and unavailing struggle. To us it seemed mad, but to Frenchmen who remembered how the first republic defied all Europe there was still visible a chance. It failed, but the Frenchmen who were mortified and degraded by the crushing defeat remembered that Gambetta never yielded, and such will remember him as long as they would the Old Guard that died at Waterloo. Though the republic is peace there is a deep-seated desire for revenge upon Germany and a national desire to regain Alsace-Lorraine. Gambetta was no more the fomenter of these feeliags than the expression. He had been the people's sword and afterward their voice. If he has no successors, time may dull the passion of the French. On the return of peace and in the peaceful sway of the republic Gambetta was still in opposition or leading the extreme wing of liberalism. He waa not a compromiser or conservaive, but so radical as to be reactionay. With undoubted force, eloquence nd patriotism, his judgment and wisdom were doubtful, but the people believed in his sincerity, and his unselfishness was apparent as his mistakes or violence reacted upon himself. If he had been weaker or meeker he would have been higher in office, but for all he WM an uncrowned king. He died,

and it is a tribute to his. power that those who fear or hate France are glad. Ig there anything in this man to commend him, to entitle him to a name that shall live, or shall the censor follow the quajter million people to Pere-la-Chaise to interline the tribute to patriotism and manly power with the word libertine? High courage and loyalty to humanity appeal irresistably to man's admiration. The great ones of the earth, who have organized the struggles for constitutional liberty, led the weak against the strong, and by eloquent voice spoken for the people have not been perfect men, nor even always good, but judged by their work they had been used by a power that could well select instruments. We question the cavil that denies to Providence the power or will to use any being or race for good to the rest. We question the justice that would blot out that part of a man's life which was truly noble and unselfish, and doubt not while the memory of the Franco-Prussian war lasts so long will the French honor Gambetta. The monuments to heroes are not tributes to their vices nor are censures upon the mistaken, denials of their virtues. Charles Stuart and George Third were amiable Christians but tyrants. Stonewall Jackson and Bishop Gen. Polk of our own day very sincere Christians but doubledyed traitors. Finally we say that the man who has written his name in his country's history,|who has st own lov of country to be the overmastering principle of his life will always be hero—and yet, he may die as the fool dieth.

THE ILLINOIS TOGA.

How Near it Waves to the Outstretched Hand* of the Senatorial Candidates. Springfield Special.

After the Sabb ith's communion with constituents, which was prolonged by not a few over Monday and most of Tuesday, the members have come pre pared to take sides openly in regard to the senatorship. Heretofore the position of perhaps two-thirds of the Republicans has b«en about this: They came to Springfield undecided who they should vote for. They spent a week hearing the pro and con about every candidate. Then they wanted a visit home to talk it over with the people who sent them. Now they are ready to ballot. But this isn't saying the senatorship is settled. It only means that the strength of the several candidates has become better defined. The probabilities and possibilities can be set forth with more distinctness. There has been progress made, and the situation can be stated with a higher degree of satisfaction. But when this is done the wise man stops and refrains from naming the next senator.

Gen. Smith, who has just entered upon his new term as state treasurer, and is probably as little trammeled by personal feeling in this contest as anybody here, puts the status in this way: "It is all chaos. I know some members whose voces are counted on by at least two of the candidates. Governor Cullom has undoubtedly been in the lead up to this time. 'Old Dick' stands nearest the people, and if it was left to them he would be senator. It is astonishing what a hold he has upon the masses. When he was in Washington I don't suppose he answered one letter in twenty that was sent to him by constituents. But they have implicit faith in his honesty. His in dolence was the only thing that could be charged against him. There is feeling among the members that he is of the stuff to make a better governor than senator." "He is counted an anti-Logan man? "Yes. Still I think there is little in that. When Logan defeated him 'Old Dink' cussed him some, but the other night I was talking With him about that fight and he said: 'Logan came up here and got elected, as he had a right to.' So I don't think Oglesby feels any of the old bitterI16SS*" "Will there be any. opportunity for the Democrats to distinguish themselves?" "No. I believe the Republican caucus will settle it. That trouble among the senators has passed over. All will come in and will stand by the caucus nomination."

General Smith was elected on his own merits last fall. He has four years of official life before him, and is simply a looker-on. While he does not venture upon predictions, his conversation indicates an impression that unless Cullom or Oglesby early in the caucus developes the requisite fifty five votes, Payson or Henderson will be taken up. Cullom and Oglesby are among the probabilities. The other two are the possibilities^ belief of General Smith that

Barring Cullom Out.

BAD BABBITT-

Scandalous Allegations Against Him in a Big Suit for Damages. New York Special.

Richard W. Peck has brought an ac tion in the supreme court, at Brook lyn, against Benj. F. Babbitt, the great soap man. The plaintiff is a merchant on Wall street, New York, and resides on Putnam avenue, in Brooklyn. He alleges that in 1878, Mr. Babbitt, with the intent to seduce the eighteen-year-old daughter of the plaintiff, and induce her to leave her home, and live with the defendant as mistress, planned a scheme to bring about that end. Mr. Peck says that Babbitt made the acquaintance of the girl and her mother, Ellen E. Peck, in connection with the stealing of $200,000 from the defendant by the cashier, Charles Beckwith, and that Miss Peck was emplyed to aid in the recovery of the money.

The defendant, he says, gave her $19,000 to aid in this, and afterward caused her arrest on a criminal charge, and procured from her a chattel mortgage on the furniture in his (Peck's) house.

The plaintiff alleges that he knew nothing of all this at the time, and that by several actions brought against him by the defendant, and lit pendent on his property, and by the arrest of his wife, etc., he has been damaged in his business and in his feelings in the sum of $100,000, for which he demands judgment. This morning application was made to Mr. Justice Pratt for an order striking out part of the complaint as scandalous. His honor took the papers.

A Dismantled State.

St. Louis Republican.

What is to be done with the state of Nevada is becoming a question -of some interest to the remnant of its population. It is admitted that the bottom has fallen out of the Comstock lode, and as the Cemstock lode was, to^all practical intents and purposes, Nevada, there is not much left of the latter but the empty shell, from which the kernel has been taken.

Nevada was the golden youth of the union when it was admitted the mines, which constituted almost its only wealth, were supposed to be in exhaustible, and the white and yellow bricks they yielded had an effect on the money markets that was felt throughout the world. The state was organized on a magnificent basis. The governor's salary was $6,000 the lieutenant governor's, $3,000, with $1,500 additional as state librarian the three judges of the supreme court received $7,000 each, and the other state officers and the members of the legislature were provided for with similar munificence. These salaries were thought proper enough in the state's golden age.

But the $300,000,000 taken from the Comstock lode has exhausted that wonderful deposit of treasure and left Neyada a beggarly state. It* millions

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS. FRIDAY MORNING. JANUARY 12,1883

have (led to San Francisco and New York to spend their wealth. The wives of some of them have taken their share of it and gone to Paris, where they are living in an opulence peculiarly their own. The enterprising mining classes have gone to Arizona to pursue the quest of gold in that new and more promising territory. Virginia City, the capital, has lost ita splendor and glory, lyke Tyre and Sidon, and the inhabitants of the state who are left are beginning to wonder bow they are to maintain a government with such a brilliant outfit out of their scanty gulch scratchings and the little crops they raise in the valleys.

There is talk calling a ponstitutional convention to reduce official salaries to a more moderate level, and it is even suggested that it may be necessary to allow the state government to lapse and let Nevada become a territory, or else divide it up between California, Utah and Arizona.

THE FOREIGN FLOODS.

Flight of the People to Rave .Their Lives.

VIENNA, Jan. 10.—The town of Raab in Hungary, and adjacent villages, were only saved from inundation thus far by the frost. When the thaw com menced the water suddenly rose all over the district. At 3 o'clock yesterday morning the inhabitants were aroused by alarm bells, and commenced a rapid flight. Large numbers of fugitives crowded into the solidly built theater which stands on the is land in the midst of the park, but here anew panic arose, the water gradually rising as far as the first gallery.

Meanwhile, around Raab the dykes breaking admitted the deluge, which soon reached the inner town, contain ing 6,000 refugees as well as the ordinary inhabitants. A considerable number of lives were lost, but fortunately the flood did not reach some higher parts of the town and ceased to rise at noon. The city of Gran, on the Danube, the seat of the Hungarian primate, i3 also menaced by floods.

VIENNA, Jan. 10.—The inhabitants of Raab abandoned the town. The floods rose so rapidly that many persons, in trying to escape, fell through the ice and drowned.

VIEENA, Jan. 10.—The dyke protecting the suburb Raab broke this afternoon, and the water rushing in, ploughed up the ground in the cemetery. Coffins and human remains are drifting with the current.

A Puff for Pullmau.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.—The dedication of the new theatre at Pullman, fourteen miles from Chicago, last night, was the occasion of giving the public for tne first time a correct idea of the great principle which caused the pro jector of that thrifty city to build it, and of the fidelity with which those principles have been carried out. The success that hitherto crowned the experiment of making a city combining all the attainable good things anc

L. Woodford in his speech. He said he was astonished at the stillness and restfulness of Sunday in Pullman and the energy and labor Monday. He had visited the immense shops, the water tower, the neat homes, the water tower grounds for sports, the church, the schools, library, and found everything to please the eye, to economize the earnings of labor and educate the mind. It is all paid for. It will do for capital it will do for labor. Saloons are absent gambling houses and brothels ara unheard of. The conditions under which Pullman is built are object lessons for cap ital and labor all over the country.

The play of Esmeralda was given by the Madison Square company, and the distinguished party which had gone from Chicago and came from all parts of the country to attend the exercises, accompanied George M. Pullman, the founder cf the city, back to Chicago.

Bill Nya'a Portrait.

Denver Tribune.

It now transpires that Bill Nye, the Larimie Boomerang mant has been laid np with gout, instead of mountain fever, as previously announced. What walking he does now is by the aid of a crutch and cane. He is going to make a trip to New York in a few weeks and the Yankees will then be afforded the. opportunity of seeing what manner of men the justly-famed humorist of the plains is. They will find him a tall, well-shaped fellow, about thirty-eight years of age, with regular features, a close cropped brown beard, sharp brown eyes, a fine forehead, and a bald head with a fringe of brown hair. He dresses simply and with good taste. It is only occasionally that his humor crops out in conversation, and his manners are otherwise mild. He appreciates a good story, a well made cocktail, a mild cigar and plug tobacco. He appears to be fond of the society of ladies, and is invariably to be found in their presence, when not corralled by the men folks who court his company.
