Tho newspaper liar is busily engaged with tho Vandalia deal at present.

When the local Democracy took l'eter Gfroerer to its bosom it was oblivious of the future.

The Chicago Times finds that M. HadiCarnot was elected president of Franco because, as commissioner of public works, ho wouldn't allow the gas companies and electric light men to tear up the streets.

Let us have tho list of employes in this revenue district. The Gazette and General Manson say thero are "soveral other Germans" on the rolls. The Express savs there is only one of the twenty employes stationed here.

Governor Isaac P. Gray is no sooner through with an investigation of tho management of tho

women's

A

reformatory

than ho is called on to look into the alfairs of tho state inspector of oils, whose deputies seem to have been provided him bv tho Standard Oil company.

Thore is a suggestion of Col. Denby, Evansville, for the second place on the Democratic national ticket next year. Col. Denby's name occurs to his friends as that of ono who would fill the bill for an Indiana soldier. If it is an Indiana soldier that is wanted what about Col. William E. McLean, of Terre I [ante?

dispatch from Washington snys Secretary Lamar has been telegraphing for Commissioner of Pensions Black for several days and can not lind trace of him. The physical wreck, it will bo recalled, has dolinod his position as that of one delegated to travel about tho country to see what is best to bo done for the old soldiers, i.e., what is best to be done for tho candidacy of one particular old soldier for tho vice presidency.

It Is a mistake to suppose there Is any controversy between General D. Manson, collector of Internal revenue [or this district, and Peter (ifwerer. who has held the position of gauger —[Gazette.

Of what, in the name of all that is violent. does the Gazette consider a ''controversy" to consist? General Manson and Peter Gfroerer have published cards calling each other a liar. -Must they come to blows to create a contro-

A Terre Haute special to the Cincinnati

Enquirer

in regard to the Manson-

Gfrocror matter, says (and mind you, Mr. Gazette, the gentleman in your otllee who sent the special used the word "controversy"):

The controversy attracts much attention, because General Hanson, who resigned as lieutenant governor last year to take the eollectorshlp, will probably be the Dem.vratlc candidate for JOTenior next year.

So, it would seem, this is why the nnarchist storv must be denied.

Tho following is from a special to tho Enquirer sent out'of the Gazette oflice: (llroerer has had ljulte a checkered career

Xow, we submit that as between the two parties the Democrats are here placed in a most unenviable light. They used a public office to subsidize Gfroerer because he "turned" for Cleveland who stole JetT Davis' remark about "public ot'nce being a public trust."

There is general complaint along the lino of the Tt rre Haute A- Logansport of bad mail service. The Express has frequently referred to this fact, and especially to the change by which Terre Haute was put at a disadvantage as to the hour of receiving the mail. It was so arranged that letter from any point except Eoekville, this side of and including Crawfordsville, posted after 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, would not be delivered in Terre Haute until the morning of tho second day. As the result of all the investigations made by the Express, but one reason

for this arrangement could be ascertained, which was that it gave the mail clerks more convenient hours at their homes. The public, judging from the complaints of the newspapers at places on the road, would much prefer that these clerks ehould find it convenient to remain at home at all hours.

Peter Gfroerer make» a mistake In trying to scare General Manson. The general Is not easily frightened. He Is not that sort of man. Peter Gfroerer 19 not, as he supposes, the whole German race, nor even a creditable representative of it. His appointment was not a lit one. His retention has been a mistake. His removal is In the interest of the efficiency of the service and ought to have been made along time ago. Of course General Manson did not say what Gfroerer says he said about the .Anarchists. His card Is sufficient on that point. On a Question of veracity between SenerKl M. D. Manson and Peter Gfroerer no one who knows both men can have any doubt for an In stant. There are several Germans In office In this revenue district. They are doing their duty well are a credit to themselves and their race, and useful to the government in office. Peter Gfroerer need not fancy that anybody Is demanding that he be kept in office. His removal will be a very popular move, and popular with none more thnn with the Germans.--[Gazette.

We republished this Sunday. We give it space again this morning and will do BO frequently in tho future. It is good reading. It is a sevei reflection on the management of the affairs of this reve nuo district, and tends to prove, as did the Ferry defalcation at Evansville, that there is gross incompetency in the of fice.

But iu connection with what the Ga zette says tho Express would like to ask a few questions which it will continue to ask until tney are satisfactorily answered Is it true that though known to be incompetent ho was retained in oflice while certain creditors received from the collector each month a portion of his wages? Is it true that William C. Ball, of the Gazette, with John C. Roe del, Andrew Grimes and X. Boland were among the creditors and that when Gfroerer refused to continue giving orders on his pay that these gentlemen brought suit on his note? Is it true that thero is only ono German out of twenty employes hero instead of several, and isnt it true there are at least a dozen Irishmen? 19 it true that Gfroerer was given the place for two reasons, regardless of the question of competency: because he had with his newspaper betrayed the Republican party and because his creditors could get some money out of his salary?

Also is it not trii9 that Gfroorer is a more competent gauger than one who is retained? The Express believes it is true because a prominent official in the service, a Democrat of good standing, too, says it is true. If Gfroerer is discharged solely on the ground of incompetency, the other man should go.

THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

Judge (rresham's Gift t» :i 15ride.

INDIANAPOLIS, December 5.- About a year ago John Bishop, of Seymour, began paving attention to Julia Vest, a soldier's widow. When she received £2,000 pension money ho induced her to turn it over to him for investment. Upon receiving the money ho married another woman, and Julia appealed to tho fed eral authorities. Bishop lied, but was captured some time ago and jailed here. In tho meantime his wife secured a divorce, and to-day Bishop and Mrs. Vest were married at" the federal courtroom in the presence of Judge Gresham and the district attorney. The court united in making an acceptable bridal present by entering a nolle prosequi in the case against the groom.

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 6, 188T.

EXPRESS PACKAGE^. FRANCES NEW PRESIDENT.

Something About the Level Headed I rcnchman who Succeeds Grevy.

Marie Francois Sadi-Carnot was born at Limoges August 11, 1S37. He is a grandson of the great Carnot, the member of the committee on public safety and national cordon, who is known to history as the organizer of victory, and who defended Antwerp against the allies in 1814. His father was a senator and was minister of public instruction in 1848.

Sadi-Carnot is an engineer by profession. He entered the Ecole polytechnique at the age of 20, and subsequently tho Ecole des ponto et Chasses where he obtained the highest position in the school. He is thus one of the great clan or family of polytechnicians with whom Boulanger is in a state of open warfare, and whose followers, therefore, look upon him with anything but extreme friendliness.

Sadi-Caruot's first appointment was as government engineer at Annecy, and remained in the Ponto et Chasses Department until the fall of the empire. In January, 1871, ho was appointed prefect of the Seine Inferieure and commissioner of national defense for the department of Eure and Calva'dos. Ho lirst entered parliment as a member for Cote d'Or, and for which he has now represented the National Assembly and Chamber since 1871. He occupied successively the position of under secretary and Minister of public works, and in ihe cabinets of the Freycinet and Brisson held tho portfolio of finance. As Minister of finance Sadi-Carnot displayed remarkable foresight and courage in disclosing to parliament the difficulties of the financial position of tho country and in suggesting means for overcoming them. Another quality—firmness—wont a long way towards securing to Carnot the suffrage-s of the national assembly yesterday, for he exercised it all along in opposing tho Eh see favoritism of Grevy-Wilson. As a distinguished Frenchman observed today, congress has elected an honest man. Physically the new president is a thin man of more than the average height, regular features, slightly severe and hard in expression hair and beard black. He is a little inclined to verbosity.

The new hostess of the Elysee is a daughter of Mr. Dupont White, the wellknown political economist, who, like his son-in-law, is a follower and translaterof John Stuart Mill. Her receptions at the Louvre were always well attended and conducted with grace and elegance, which promises much for the future entertainments at the Elysee.

Tho peculiar middlo name of Sadi the president inherits from his noble and god-father, who was born under the rev olution when extraordinary appellations wore in vogue. He was named after Persian poet, whoso works created a sensation in Paris at the time.

Rumor is current that the president will now drop the prefix and bo known simply as Carnot.

Sadi-Carnot is ouo of the most levelheaded of Frenchmen and most conservative of Republicans. Ho enjoys one advantage over any of his three prede cessors in the pi esidency,and that is in age and physical vigor. Thiers, the first president of the third republic, was 74 at the time of his election: MacMahon. his sue cessor, was Go and Grevy, who was chosen to the position after that gentleman retired, was GG. The present presi dent is just 50. Carnot lacks Thiers' statesmanship, MacMahon's magnetism and prestige, and Grevy's political experience. The country probably contains at this moment, however, no safer and better man for the place. The election of Carnot demonstrates that France still possesses the wisdom, moderation and respect for orderly and constitutional methods essential to self-government.

The 3-year old California pacer Arrow has proved to be the wonder of the season. He has won all the races he ever started in, ten in number, and finished up with a record of 2:14. He is a 950 pound horse, stands 15.2, and wears five-ounce shoes all around when in action.

TESTIMONY

Hiui.

DFTKOIT, December 3. —Some time ago an unknown man created consternation in this city by jumping out of alleys after nightfall, clasping women in his arms, and pinching them. In one part of the city the fellow had the neighborhood so terrorized that women did not venture out of doors after sundown, while their male relatives armed themselves with clubs and laid in wait for the villain. To-day a man. giving his name as John Ward, was arrested on the charge of being disorderly. Ho begged for food at one of the houses in the north end of tho city, and when refused pinched the woman to whom he had applied for aid. He was held in 6100 for trial to morrow. He denied the charge, and refused to answer as to whether he h.id been in the habit of pinching women but it is believed from his peculiar manner, as testified to by the woman who made the complaint, that the much-wanted pincher has at last been found.
