‘Everybody who knows anything about ~ the man, is cognizant of the fact that thi «late John Covode was one of the shrewdes politicians in the country; and could read _the “signg of the times” z}fibdut as clcarlyT as any one who made politics a study.— ITis opinions in regard to political events are, therefore, entitled to consideration, and deperve to be placed upon record.— lence, we attach no little importance, to ‘the following item in a recent issue of the Pittsburg Paper: . y ]\ “It is .well known that the late Mr.| _Covoéde ‘became estranged from General| Grant some time before his death. He| said to-a prominent business man in - this city, a few weeks ago, ‘there was no. place in Grant’s head solid enough to] drive a peg to hang a proposition on,’ and | in the same conversation he remarked that | ‘if the Democrats nowinated -Hendricks, | in 1872, . they would have no trouble in| clecting him.’” ' 1 " We have as little doubt of Mr. Covodc’si - prediction being verified as we have of | the correctness of his estimate of both| Grant and Heéndricks. B Dt Casualities. | An appalling calamity occurred at Ke-| ~ nosha, Wisc,, at ah early hour on Tuesdayiy morning. The “ Halliday House,” a large four.story hotel, was totally destroyed by .fire ; seven persons perished in the fiames,‘f - among them a mother and four child’i‘en,i - and a number of others were seriously inJured. , . " Miller's powder mill at Greenville, N., J., was blowu up-on Sunday evening, - | The British bark Kate Smith went ashore on Wednesday of last week near Little Egg Harbor, N.J. Eight lives were lost. : The steamer “Arthur” was wrecked on ~ the lower Mississippi last Friday night, caused by the explosion of tie boiler. Between sixty and seventy lives were lost, Terrible. = ' e dmae a Lounisiana U, S Senator. I -~ Gen. J. R. West ‘was elected by the Liouistana Legislature on the 10th inst., to be United States Senator, receiving a de- ~ cided majority in both Houses, He is a Republican, and was the favorite of Gov, Warmouth. He was not nominated by a party caucus, but was proposed by War-fi ‘mouth and those members who show a _ dispesition’ to act outside of the parg:,v or at least.to refuse to recognize the colbrefl element as a distinct element, having a right by virtue of their superior numbers, to control the State. - His election, under| the circunstances, says the iNew Orleans‘i - Times, is an indication “that the Radical| sarty, and especially that portion of it| ‘ kompos’ed of designing _and‘unscrhpulousl demagogues and their victims, the ignorant negroes, can no longer sway the des-| tinies of Louisiana.” | - 'The capitulation of Paris. | .+~ The terms of the capitulation are that " the prisoners of war are to remain at Pa‘J ris during the armistice, having first sur - rendered their arms. The National Guard gendarmes are to retain their arms as are also the police. All the FranceTireurs are to be disbanded. The German prisoners are to be exchanged, The) public funds are to remain at Paris. 4 . Gen, Henry D.

. STATE POLITICS. = ~ The Terre Haute Masl mentions Hon. } W, Mack, speaker of the House ot Representatives at Indianapolis, asa probable ’ democratic candidate: for Governoriin '72. Judging from the tenor of a somewhat -mysterious item in the Fort Wayne Journal, that “red-hot” young man from Ohio, Mr. Kernan, lias been dismissed from the editorial staff of the Sentizel of that city. " We notice that all the Indianapolis papers are in the habit of mis-spelling Senator Sarnighausen’s name. They insert an, “n” before the “g," which does not accord with that gentleman’s mode of spelling his own name. e ~ TheFranklin Herald very correctly and appropriately says that “the übj,ust apportionment of the State for Congressional and Legislative purposes, must receive the attention of this Legislature, otherwise the people will hold-each individual mem‘ber responsible for the violation of trusts rcposed‘in‘him."" e o . The contested election case of Abbott vs. Rudisill, for the Auditorship of Allen c()ufigy, lfa_s been decided, by Judge Low--Iy, in favor of Mr. Rudiéill.; The Journal| says on this subject: . Unless the case is taken up to'the Su.’ prewe Court, this decision virtually puts a quictus on all similar casés which have -becn before the Courts for some time.— We think: Judge Lowry’s decision is.a wige and just one, ‘and will be endorsed by the public. 4 | The Indianapolis Journal has a special co‘krcspondehi at Washipgton, who -has just made the following! importd®,_ (if true) discovery : <o ’ [“The Hendricks programnie is said to be_ as follows: The united Democracy to go fjr Hendricks for ‘the Democratic nomination for -the Presidency. Voorhees is gp have a clear track for the United States enate in case the Democracy are in power, and Gen. James Slack to be their candidate for Gevernor.” :

| Here is the latest idea from the Indianapolis Journal . o Hughes hates Voorhees, although therne is now a-seeming truce. Hughes proposes to beat Voorhees for the next Congressionl candidacy in his own District, and this is the bid for the support of the benighted Democracy of Clay, Sullivan, and other counties of that region. ’ “ All of which is (as the: Terre Haute Journal has it) a yery laughable matter with the fiemoqracy of this district.”.

A "Washington correspondént of the Chicago Tumies is authority for the statement that Hon. M. C: Kerr, of the Second Indiana District, will be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for'Governor of Indiana, failing in which he will be a candidate for re-election to Congress.

The dbove item appears, as re-print in the Indianapolis Sentinel of last Saturday. No such correspondénce has made its appearance in the Chicago Z¥mes, and we are quite well satibfied that the statement contained in the paragraph quoted above is without foundation 1n point of fact.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the decision, of the Circuit Court of Marion county,” granting a peremptory gi’z}ndute upon Gov. Baker to issue a commission to John Kirk, of Madison, who was recently clected by the Legislature Director of the Southern Prison. This gives the control of this instituticn to the democracy. Gov. Baker‘on Monday isshed the commission to Capt. Kirk. S 2 .

- Senator Morton, accompanied by Assistant Postmaster General Terreil, made his appearance quite uhexpectedly st Indianapalis last Saturday. He claimed to have come on private business, but his mission was doubtless of a political character.— Senator Elliott, the disaffected Republican who voted with the Democrats, was interviewed by Terrell, but without the desired success; as he has since published a card renouncing his allegiance to the Republican party. Morton and Terrell returned to Washington on Tuesday mornmg. et O E—— . INDIANA LEGISLATURE. . ‘ THE SENATE, during the past week, took action on the, following: Ordered the military committee to investigate charges of alleged - ¢xtravagances at Knightstown Soldier's Home..... Adopted a resolution, requesting our .senators _and'repre'séntatives i’fi’ congress to vote and use tßeir influence to have tkLe tariff act so modified as to place the prime articles of necessity, tea, coffee, sugar, and salt, upon the free list....Passéd, without a dissenting voice, the House resolution, requesting and instructing congress: men from Indiana to aid the passage of a bill* allowing soldiers and sailors to preempt and hold homesteads without residing thereon.... Also a similar resolution against any further donations of the pub-. lic lands to private corporations....On the 30th, the bill to define“punishnient for bribery came up. It covers all per sons, including membersof the legislature, and officers thereof, so that wheria charge of bribery is made upon a member or officer of the legislature the charge becomes an ofi'eixce,- and the pgrty is liable toaction for libel, and no defence can be set up, but the proof has to be forthcoming.— When the party is charged with corruption, under this, bill, if the complaint fails to sustain the charge, the member must have judgment, and will be entitled to vindicate his characten The, bill was amended so as to make anyone violating the provisions of this act ineligible to hold any office of trust or profit, and disfranchiged for an indefinite period, and then passed: Ayes 43; noes, none.... On|Monday the committee on elections, ‘to whom was referred the joint resolution introduced by Judge Hughes concerning the so-called Fifteenth Amendment to the constitution and its pretended ratification, and proposing a convention of the states to amend the constitution of the said states, reported that they had-had the same under consideratiow, and a majority of thiat committee instructed its chairman to report the same back with a recommendation that'it pass. The minority of the committee presented an adverse report, giving reason why it should not pass.— After a lengthy speech ' from - Judge Hughes, the majority report was adopted ~Lyeas 26, nays 20. Hughes and Elliott voted with the Democrats. ' . Tne House adopted the Senate resolution for'an- amenament to the constitution against the payment of tl:e Wabash and Erie bonds by a vote of 93 yeas, nays none. . .. The joint resolution authorizing the governor to supervige the suit of the state against the Terre Haute and Rich+ mond Railroad company was adopled.—

! Yeas 58; nays 25....0n the 28th a lengthy and somewhat animated discuss- | ion ensued in regard to an article in ghe ’ India:fapelis' Journal, reflecting on !he:" | speaker and some of the members of the House for using obscene language on the occasion of the recent “splurge” in favor of female suffrage by several strong-mind-~ed women. The matter was disposed of | by the adoption of a resolution—ayes 83, ! nays 7—censuring the Journ«l and brand.ing its charges as “false in'fact, and an. ’ insult to this legislative body”....The | bill amendatoty of the act aeceptifig thei, provisions of the act of congress granting public lands for agricultural colléges, so that the state board of agriculture may be represénted by three members on the board of trustees of the Perdu university, was passed-to a final reading. ‘Y'cas 79 nays 7.... A joint resolution was adopted for the appointment of three attorneys of this state as a’commission to devise a more cconomical system of judiciary fort, the state, including the abolition of the. various courts of common pleas, and such | other inferior courts as may be necessary, and the establishment ot a uniform and ' less expensive system of cou‘rts‘for the sexf~ . ‘telement of decendants’ estates, and matf ters . pertaining thereto,” -and that said comumiission report a bill for that purpose i m the: present session of the gencral as- | ’ scmbly....The bilk.to amend the new | law concerning promissory notes; bills of exchange, etc,, what is known as commer-. cial paper, came up on'its third. reading on Monday. The object of the amend-. ‘ment was to compel the bringing of suits in the county wherethe maker resides.— After a lengthy' debate of the law, the bill was passed : Yeas, 67; nays, o. o g ————— CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS, SENATE.~—The mosgmporthnt business .transacted by the Senate-'during the past weck may be summed up in the following : The joint resolution- declaratory of the ~meaning of the 26th section of anact to reduce intérnal taxes, &c., approved July 14, 1870, was passed. Its effect is to allow merchandise 1n “port and fiot entered on December 31, 1870, to be admitted un~der the old tariff.. ~ .Ten thousand dollats were appropriated for the purpose of getting up the requisite pumber of KuKlux: outrages .... On Thursday a vote was reached on the bill to repeal the. income tax, and by the bare majority of one passed it, the vote standing twenty-six to twenty-five,, and showing an absence of twenty one Senators. The bill now goes to the House, where the result will be equally close. ...On Friday the eloquent Senator from Missouri, Carl Schurz, was favored with a large audience{to hear his speech on Civil Service Reform, It was® an almost exhaustive expose of the evils of the present system, though' it did not answer quite so fully as was expected gsome of the arguments which have been made on the other side. .No vote was reached on the pending bill Syhich prohibits Members and 'Senators from recom mending people to office, and when, one is reached the measure will be killed ™. . Monday was devoted to the Géorgia U. S. Scnatorship; without /a vete being - reached. ... Durgg the discussion of the Georgia qués%turdny, Senator Saulsbury of Delawarg spoke at length of the inconsistency “and\{utility of reconstruction, and eulogistic of . the military and civil services of Gen. Hancock, whom i spoke of as the standard bearer.of the | Democratic party in 1872. The salvation of the country was to be achieved through the election of a man like Hancock, who had never squatted down -to worry out and kill off more af his owr men than his enemy had altogether ; but one who, while he could fight, could also obey the laws. ' Mouse.—On Thursday there was a brief spurt in the House on theland grab question, which was rather unfavorable to the grabbers. The House proceeded to'the cousideration of the bill reported, by the Committee on Military Affairs giving bounty land to officers, soldiers, and sailors who have been hororably discharg‘ed. Mr. Julian (Rad., Ind.) spoke in opposition to thel bill. He:said that the grauts under this bill gave 1,000,000 acres of the public lands. Mr. Voorhees (Dem., Ini.) said that this was not as much as bad beén given to one railroad corpo‘ration, Mr. Julian was aware of that fact, but disclaimed having supported the railroad grants. e urged that the land should be cultivated, and ought not to be given to crippled soldiers who could not | ccultivate them, but that they should rather be paid in money. Wo vote was reached. On the following day most excellent speeches were made by Proétor Knott of Kentucky and Judge Holman of Indiana, ‘against land grabs generally.and the Duluth swindle in particular....A seheme of the Postmaster General’s law-partner to swindle Uncle Sam outof nearly one-half million of dollars on a postal contract elicited a sharp debate on Monday, and by the prompt action of the House the contemplated fraud will probably be thwarted....On Tuesday the House passed quite an important bill to give all honorably discharged soldiers, or their widows and orphans, a-homestead on public lands, re‘quiring them to be actual settlers for a certain time. All soldiers who setved three years or more, are required tu remain two years on the land, while all who have served bnt two years, are required to remain three years as actual setttlers. The bill /has yet to pass the Senate.

Constitutional A mendment on the . Wabash and Erie Canal Bonds. The house, on yesterday, passed the constitutional amendment proposed by Hon. Jason B. Brown, in the Senate, providing an unconditional prohibition of the agsumption of the debt rep. resented by the Wabash and Erie Canal bonds by any act or resolution of the General Assembly. If the amendment is confirmed by the next Greneral Assembly, and then ratified by the electors of the state, it will become a part of the Coustitution of Indiana. If this amendment is' adopted it puts to rest all control over the canal bonds by the Legislature. and all question as to:the liability of the state for the same, unless the people shall amend the Constitution hereafter as to prdvide for its assumption and payment.—lndianapolis Sentinel, Jan. 25.

' . Tl - —— SURRENDER OF PARIS. : ~ An armistice between France and Pruseia has finally been arranged,, which will doubtless eventuate in a peace and. the conclusion of the war without further bloodshed. The ternss are given in a despatch from IKaiser William to the Empress Augusta:— The Germ@n forces occupy all the forts around Paris, [which was, done on Saturday afternoon ;] the regular forces of the French army and the Giardes Mobile are to be kept as prisoners of war. within the city, the investment of which is to be maintained, although lit, will be revictualled when. the troops are disarmed. The National Guard takes upon itself the task of preserving. order. All the armies in the field are to retain their present pogitions, the ground between them to be treated as neutral territory. The constituent assemkbly is to be assembled at Bordeaux within a fortnight, and to them terms of peace will be submitted. The, armistice was signed on Friday night at 8 o'clock, and is to last three weeks.

About noon on the 22d ult., about 200 of the most repulsive and villainous looking ruffians of the city, including.a large number of soldiers and a battalion of the National guard, marched in a bodyto’a place in front of the Hotel de Ville uttering revolutionary-eries, and calling upon citizens. to arm. ' Never, dur‘ing the present troubles, has a crowd been geen bringing so viyidly to mind the horrors of the old French revolution. - They occupied the place for over an hour without any opposition, ginging, shouting, and yelling. In the meantime, a small guard of Mobiles and Bretons were drawn up in frént of the Hotel de Ville, who| stdod their ground, avoiding any collision with the ‘mob by all means in their power, T After 1 o'clock, the adjutant in commaud, advancing in front of his men ion aecount of a somewhat more threat‘ening demonstration by the crowd, was fired upon and fell; severely wounded in the head and arms. Immediately on seeing their officer fall, the Mobiles fired on the crowd, creating a terrible panie. . quortunat'ély, a number of pérsons who had gathered as lookers’ on, encouraged by the length of time which 'had ¢lapsed- without violence, were drawn up in front of the Hotel de Ville, and received the shots of the Mobiles. As the ¢rowd fled, shrieking, apparently -fifty of their number were left on-the ground. 1t was afterwards asqertained’ that five were killed, in‘cluding.ong woman ‘and two children, and LSfi‘(:r(x)VOtlnded more or legs severely, besides several slightly hurt.— At the game moment that the Mobiles fired, 2 number, of muskets jwvere discharged from the windows of houses on the east-side of the place occupied by the rioters. Three or four Mobiles fell from the fire, which was badly directed. The old casemate above the statue of Henri Quatre were completely riddled with bullets. - .~~~

- After several rounds were firéd, the Mobiles withdrew. from the building, and a large force of National Guards came at double-quick time along Lue Rivoli, with General Vinoy at. thejr head. As they approached the Hotel de Ville, -the rioters left the houses and fled before them, the guard allowing them to escape without gshooting or arresting them. It is said that Flourence was prominent among the rioters in the last attack: before the firing begun, and was not secn afterward. © - “ .

et e et SOMETHING NEW READ THE FOLLOWING ! : What the CQity Missionary of Boston S says about . ALLEN'S LUNG BALSAM, THERE CERTATNLY CAN NOT BE FOUND A BETTER COUGH OR LUNG REMEDY. As-an Eapectorant, in has no equal. . DBosTox, M;;s-.—,—February 18, 1869. » Messrs.. P, Davis & Son—Gentlemen: The package of Allen’s Lung Balsam you sent me ‘to-use among the afflicted poor in my cit{ missionary work has proved very acceptable and useful. It has gone.into several families, and with remarkable effect in every instance. o One woman has been restored from what-her physician ‘pronounced consumption, after several months’ sickness with cough, great pain in the lungs, and prostration, so that she isable now'to do housework and assist in supporting her family, and with care and continued use of tke Balsam, she expects’ entire restoration. LY

“Another person, a young, woman to whom I gave one bottle, has received great benefit, so, ;that her cough, which was of months’ standing, iis getting better, and she has purchaseéd the second bottle, and has every indication of a speedy cure. : e LSt

A young man who was raising' blood, and quite weak and sick, has, by-the use of two bottles, been much' improved, and is able to do a little at his'work.: j o A young man to whom I recommended a trial of it, who has had a bad cough, and much pain in his lungs for months past, and unable to get rest or sleep, has commenced taking it, and is now using -the fourth bottle with great benefit. He said to mé on a recent visit, that he would not do without it. He'is hoping (and reasonably it seems to me,) to be able toresume hisiwork again, . i i .
