Montroal Special, Thursday. The ice palace was opened in the evening with cheers for the Queen and the President and people of the United States as a baptism of red lire made the palace glow. The blue lights of thousands of snowshoers in the torchlight procession gave extraordinary brilliancy to the scene. Twenty thousand upturned faces reflected the lights from the palace, now ghastly with green, now glowing with red, now blushing with purple and now like blue devils with blue.’ The white snowshoers with their torches looked like a huge witches’ procession from “Macbeth.” The palace was now opened formally. Thousands rushed in, overturning the ixriice and overwhelming the band, who were playing “Yankee Doodle.” The torchlight procession slowly passed on up the mountain side —a streak of fire leading like a fiery serpent all the way through the trees to luo summit. Then they scattered and returned again to town. The night, very dark from clouds, gave the ice palace a good chance, as it shone under the ever-changing fire. The toboggan hills were ablaze with lights, but some slides are closed to prevent accidents. Hundreds and hundreds are skating by electric light on the river. It is estimated that nearly 40,000 people are on the streets. Mr. Hutchison, the architect, whose design of the ice palace w'as strictly carried out. has taken scientific observations from the foundation up as the work advanced, to measure the changes, if any, in the dimensions. So far he has discovered none. It was noticed also as remarkable by scientific observers ho<r readily and quickly the various blocks of ice became cemented firmly together under pressure and without even the addition of water. An eminent scientist remarks that this explains the curious accommodation of glaciers to the channels through which they pass. The quantity of ice required for the edifice was between 40,000 and 50,000 cubic feet. The front is adorned with national statins sculptured in ice by a native artist. On each side of the entrance an Arctic hut, constructed of ice. has been erected. About two hundred men, many with teams drawing ice, were engaged for several weeks in the work, which all the principal contractors in the city united in furthering in order to have the building finished in time. The cost is defrayed out of the large voluntary fund subscribed by the citizens for the expenses of the carnival.

GENERAL WALLACE AT 3UILOH. The Absurdity of the Charge that He Missed His Way in that Battle. From General Alvin P. Ilovey’s Paper. General Wallace and myself have never been what the world would call close or bosom friends. Our natures, as the Spanish would say, are not simpatico, but I know and respect him as a true, brave soldier and a patriot, and can only feel indignation at the attempt to make him the “scape-goat” for other men's mistakes and blunders, and deem it but justice to tell the truth in vindication of history and the right. * * * To say that Wallace missed his road to Shiloh, or Pittsburg Lauding, is more than absurd. It is cruel, criminal! He and his command repaired the road, made corduroys, culverts and the bridge across Snake creek, and knew every inch of the route he was commanded to march. Even the same historians give him credit as a road maker in that locality. Yes, they admit he built the Snake creek bridge! It will be readily observed that his position on Shermau’s right, or the right of W. H. L. Wallace’s division, as is indifferently stated by said historians, was from one to two miles further from the river to the west; and Sherman tells us he fell back to the bridge across Snake creek, so that Wallace might cross at that point. But really before Wallace had been ordered to march from Crump's Landing all our forces had been driven back toward the river from one to two miles, and even at that time it would have been impossible for Wallace to have taken the position to which he had been ordered in the morning without striking the enemy in the rear. Seldom have there been such chances for a great victory as Wallace really had on the first day. At the time he was commanded to march back toward tiie river the rebels were robbing and reveling in our captured camp, and a quick, sharp dash in their rear with the bayonet, by his three gallant fresh brigades, would have scattered the victorious Confederate army to the winds. He could not have been placed by any fortune of war in a more favorable position than where lie would have struck the rebel rear; but it was not the decree of fate that Wallace should be ths Blue her of Shiloh.

Mr. Morrill excepted the sugar schedule from the five-minute rule. Mr. Beck thought the iron schedule more important than that of sugar. Mr. Morrill endeavored to get Mr. B?ck to consent to ten minutes’ debate for each member, but ho replied that he would not consent to ten hours, although lie would not occupy more time than was absolutely necessary.

The amendment was agreed to —yeas 30, nays 23.

Mr. Pugh addressed the Senate at length on -The Great Economio Question of Tariff Reform.” Mr. Bayard moved to make the duty ou iron and steel T rails weighing not over twenty-five pounds to the yard, and iron or steel flat rails, punched, seven-tenths instead of uiue-teiitha or one cent per pound. Lost. Mr. Muxey moved to make It eight-tenths, which was agreed to. On Motion of Mr. Morrill, the rate on round iron in coils or rods less than of au inch iu diameter, and ou bars in the shape of rolled iron, not specially provided lor, was made one and one-tenth, instead of one and one half cents per pound. Mr. Beck moved to make the rate on boiler or other plate iron, sheared or unsheared, and skelp iron, sheared or rolled in groover, one and one-quarter oents per pound. Aereed to. Mr. Beck moved to make the rate on sheet iron thinner than an inch and a half, and not thinner than No. 20 wire gauge, one cent per pound instead of one and three truths, as in the bill. Agreed so—yeas 28, nays 25. On Mr. Beck’s motion, also, the rate on sheet iron thiuner than No. 20 wire gauge, not thinner than No. 25, was reduced from lhj to I 2-10 oents per pound.

The next paragraph, embracing hoop, band, scroll, or other iron of certain species, was read. Mr. Beck wished more time to euamlne the classification in the paragraph, ami moved to adjourn. Lost. After some discussion whether cotton ties might not be held to come under this provision of the bill, Mr. Cockrell complained of an attempt to force a night session without previous warning as a breach of the understanding arrived at some days ago that the Senate would continue consideration of the bill daily until 6 o’clock. He bad no desire, and the Detnocratio party had no desire, to delay the passage of the bill. Let the party that was responsible for the action of the Senate pass the bill, and if they thought night sessions necessary, aud would give fair warning, he would vote for them, but he dirt not wish to be forced into such sessions in this way. Mr. Morrill, replying to the remarks of Mr. Beck, denied that any caucus had directed him to force a night session, in resisting adjournment he was only trying to keep the Senate in session as long as he could in order to make progress, and bo would continue to do this every day until the bill should bo disposed of. He then moved adjournment, which was agreed to, and the Senate adjourned.

CROWN JEWEL FLOUR.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL FOR 1883. ESTABLISHED 1823. Ttte Indianapolis Journal will enter upon its sixty-first year with the support and confidence of a larger and constantly growing constituency, and with an influence, we feel warranted in saying, never exceeded in its long and prosperous history. It will bring to the duties of the ensuing year a better equipment, more thorough and systematic organization, and a sharpened desire to meet the steadily pressing demand for a clean, high-toned and complete newspaper. Its facilities for the gathering of news and for its faithful and satisfactory presentation were never so good as now, and it will continue to be the purpose to accompany the news of the day with such editorial treatment and comment as to still further ally the paper with the interests and conscience of all the people. The year 1883 will be one of special interest. Congress will be in session—the last session of the Forty-seventh Congrass—artd, in view of the recent elections throughout the country, its proceedings will bo watched with the greatest anxiety. The Journal will be represented at Washington, as heretofore, by a special telegraphic correspondent of experience and ability, and his dispatches, together with the Associated Press, will give the most complete report of congressional proceedings printed by any Indiana paper. The State Legislature will also be in session this winter, and it3 proceedings will be of the highest importance to the people of Indiana. The Journal will print the best reports of the General Assembly, and, from day to day, will give a clear compendium of all important matterspending before both houses. In general nows, and especially in the news of the State of Indiana, and of the territory in Ohio and Illinois naturally and commercially tributary to Indianapolis, the Journal will be found to be largely in advance of all contemporaries. We have correspondents in the larger cities and towns, while the county papers are carefully gleaned. In all regards the Journal is, by odds, the best reflex of the interests of the entire State and of the territory it seeks to serve. Its present superiority in this respect will be fully maintained, and enhanced as opportunity may offer. The Indianapolis Journal is the only Republican morning newspaper printed in this city which publishes the Associated Press reports. Since the recent consolidation of the New York and Western Press Asssociations, combining all the leading newspapers of the entire country, both the quantity and T quality of the news gathered from all parts of the world will be greatly* increased and bettered. Its commercial reports, court record, Supreme Court decisions, railway news, and editorial and miscellaneous departments are conceded to be as good as the best, and their present excellence will be fully sustained in the future. The Journal will continue to maintain its assured position as the LEADING NEWSPAPER OF INDIANA, aiid asks support on account of its general merits no less than upon its superiority as a special representative of the best thought, and culture and character of the State. The Saturday Journal^ The Saturday edition of the has taken such rank as to make it almost a special, and independent paper. It is prepared to meet the demand for a newspaper of the highest class, filled with reading matter of the best character, and thoroughly unobjectionable in every respect—a paper that can bo welcomed into every home and be companion at every fireside. It is a splendid treasure-house of the best literary ability ot Indiana, and, as such, is worthy the support of the people. The Saturday Journal reaches into the furthest limits of our territory in time for Sunday reading, which a Sunday paper cannot possibly do, because of the lack of railway facilities on that day. It is also on hand for the long hours of Saturday night The Saturday Journal will be found to contain that which will interest the old and the young alike, the farmer, his wife and his daughters, the literary man, the scholar, the politician, or simply the one who desires the fullest news of the day. It already has a much wider reading than any other issue of the week, and a greatly more extended and better patronage than any daily published in the State. Special contracts for advertising for the Saturday edition are made, and special subscriptions for it are received. Tli Weekly State Journal. The Weekly Edition of the Journal is especially prepared for the demands of the people of Indiana outside of the cities and towns reached by the Daily. It is not a reprint of the Daily, but is an entirely separate and distinct edition, under the care of an independent and experienced editor. It contains the best literary and miscellaneous features of the Saturday Journal; but it bus exclusively prepared for its columns a complete compendium of all the news of tho week, both foreign and domestic, and particularly of the State of Indiana, and of tho territory which it naturally commands. Its market reports are carefully compiled, and its agricultural an l household departments receive particularand oompe tent attention. The Weekly State Journal will contain full digests of the proceedings of the Legislature and of Congress, with editorial reviews of the most important topics of public interest. In all its features the Weekly State Journal is as good as any weekly newspaper printed in the country, and, of course, it is much better for every Indianian because of its local news and character. Indianians are not interested in the local news of Ohio, or of Illinois, or of Kentucky, or of any other State; but they are interested in the affairs of Indiana, and these the Weekly Journal will give them, and at the same time be as good a general newspaper as the best The Weekly journal is the paper for the Indiana farmer. Every postmaster is an authroized agent, and will receive subscriptions for the Journal, which can commence at any time.
