TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

THE Hunting of the Snark" is a book published by Roberts Brothers, we believe. It is in the form of a poem,

is called "An Agony, in Eight Fits," probably from the state of mind into which it throws the reader who seriously undertakes to make sense out of it. Here is a sample verse which occurs several times in the course of the book: "They sought it (the 'Snark*) with thimbles, they sought it with care,

They pursued it with forks and hope, They threatened it's life with a railway

They charmed it with smiles and seap."

The recent revelations almost make it appear that the "Snark" was that "one more electoral vote" which the Democracy needed so sadly. Henceforth we shall take more

comfort

in reading "The

Hunting of the Snark."

THE Sullivan Democrat, a mighty good paper, by the way, speaks sadly of the misfortunes of the patrons of the public

well in

that ill-starred town. It

related that, some time ago, a tramp, weary and foot-sore, stopped at the well, aud drawing up a bucket of water, bathed his sweaty and bleeding feet in the bucket! Also, that last Monday a prominent litigant, attending court, coolly washed his dirty hands in the bucket and did not even empty out the dirty water when he had finished. And then the Democrat mournfully BXclaims: "Are such things to be tolera* ted and no protest arise from our stomachs?" Strictly speaking it may be the gorge's business to rise on such occasions, but the editor of the Democrat is doubtless better acquainted with the Sullivan physiological arrangements than we are. Therefore we shout: Up stomachs and do your duty

THE first instance in the history of this government of a postmaster resigning, except to accept another office, has just occurred in Chicago. There are circumstances attending this resignation, however, which relieve the unusual act of half its singularity. General McArthur was the p. m. It was discovered by some meddlesome Department clerk that the General was short

relief

$38,000

or thereabouts, in his accounts with the government. After the discovery had been verified by a special agent, the General telegraphed his resignation to Washington and immediately applied for

under the bankrupt act. The

latter was doubtless a good stroke of policy, out it would have shown more shrewdness perhaps to have also laid the foundations for a resort to the "in sanity dodge." Even retaining posses sion of the money would, hatdly compensate for a ten year term in the p'en Itentiary. ^__^^==a!S

THE Demociats in the town of Sulli van area lively set of roosters, when it comes to election times, and of course away along last fall, in the beginning of the campaign, they raised a pole. It was a nice pole and they were naturally proud of it. They didn't cut it down when the election was over, as the Republicans did theirs. With beautiftil confidence in Tilden's bar'l oi money, they waited and trusted that somewhere or other and somehow, an odd electoral vote would still, in some way, be secured, and that victory at last would perch upon that pole. Notwithstanding the innumerable disappointments and discouragements that constantly beset them, they never entirely lost courage. Through it all, their flag-pole was still there, so to speak. But a few mornings since a most tremendous excitement suddenly broke out. Some Democrat, casting his eyes up at the pole was electrified to see streaming from its top, the glorious stars and stripes. He gave one yell, threw away his hat and started to spread the news. "Tilden's got it!" "Tilden's got it!" spread over the town like wildfire, whatever that is. But these rejoicings were as suddenly changed into lamentations. It was discovered that some patriotic soul had remembered that it was Washington's birthday and obtained permission to oelebrate it by raising his flag to the highest point in the town—the Democratic flag-pole. ?.

IT is generally acknowledged that Terre Haute has the finest Opera House in the West. It also has good schools, beautifully shaded* streets, elegant private residences, and a population of much culture and refinement. It is a healthy and pleasant place to live in. But undeniably, as a business point, it lacks at present the intelligent, organized enterprise among its citizens that is necessary to make it a city. In this respect, to speak plainly, it is dead—or the next thing to it. If something is not dene to arouse people who have money, from their lethargy, the town might as well be fenced in. With the return of Spring there msy be a temporary return of life but without organized effort on the part of the men who naturally should lead in movements for the advancement of the business interests of the town, nothing of.consequence will come of it. It is already a question whether the town is holding its own" in either population business. It will be decided the wrooj viy if prompt and decisive measures are

not

inaugurated and that «peed-

ily. It la better to speak plainly or these matters. There is no use trying to cheat ourselves into the belief that though everything may not be exactly lovely, we are no worse off than our neighbors. We are worse off. We are loosing ground. Compare our wholesale trade with what it was three years ago, or even five years ago. True, we have some manufactories but it Is well to note the feet that none of them have been built very recently and no new ones are talked about. It is time we were looking these things squarely in the face. It is high time something were being done.

ON Friday morning, at three minutes past four o'clock, after the most exciting and stormy session ever known, the Senate re-entered the chamber of the House, and the action of the respective houses on the Wisconsin question was read and the ten votes of that State counted for Hayes A Wheeler. This concluded the count of the thirty-eight Statesof the Union, and the President of the Senate formally announced that Messrs. Hayes and Wheeler, having received 185 electoral votes, were duly e'ected President and Vice President of the United States. The Senate then retired and the House immediately, at 4:20 a. m. adjourned.

PRESIDENT HAYES arrrived in Washington, at nine o'clock yesterday morning. He was met at the depot by Governor Dennison, Senator Sherman and General Sherman, and with his family and friends, escorted to Senator Sherman's residence, where a large number of ladies and friends- had gathered to receive them. About neon, accompanied by Gen. Sherman and Gov. Dennison, Mr. Hayes drove to the executive mansion and paid his respects to President Grant. After a pleasaut interview with the President and members of the cabinet, the party drove to the Capitol where by invitation of the President of the Senate, an informal reception, lasting aboutpn hour, was held in the Vice President's room. Here Vice President elect Wheeler joined the party, having just arrived in the city. There was throughout the utmost good feeling and everything passed off pleasantly. »,"

BEECHEIV8 LECTURE TO UR. [Chicago Herald.] The Indianapolis Journal is in an unamiable frame of mind because Henry Ward Beecher receives 9500 per night for his lectures, and refuses to preach on Sunday during his lecture tour. We fear the Journal has neither grace nor justice in its heart, and take occasion to warn it that such an attitude will not conduce to its happiness here or hereafter. If people willingly pay Brother Beecher $500 per night for his lectures, it is no extortion.for him to receive the money. Commodities are always worth what they will bring in the open market, and as Mr. Beecher cannot compel people to go to hear him, the business in which he is engaged must be considered perfectly fair and legitimate as to his refusal to preach on Sunday there is nothing so very bad about that. After lecturing every night of the week, and travelling almost every day, the yital forces are probably well nigh exhausted It seems a trifle strange that the editor of the Journal should be so anxious to hear a man preach who is believed by him to be impure.

READERS of The Mall in this city who did not receive their paper last Saturday evening must not blame the newsboys. It was not their fault. We hadn't the papers to supply them. For some weeks past the circulation of The Mail has iueroanod so rapidly that our estimate of the number to print has been short of the demand. On last Saturday we were short fully five hundred copies.

INVITATIONS are out for the first grand ball of the Tippecanoe Lodge No. 3, A. A. of I. and S. W. (we haven't the slightest idea of what it means) to take place at Dowling Hall, April 3d, 1877— music by the Ringgold Band. The invitations are printed by Frank Fisbeck A Co., amateur printers of this city, and are gotten up with exceeding good taste.

JOHN H. O'BOYLE, JR., member of the firm of Crawford fe O'Boyle, died at 6 o'clock last evening, of pneumonia. He bad only been sick about a week. The deceased was thirty-eight years of age, a good and useful citizen and his death will be sincerely mourned. The funeral will take place from the residence of Green H. O'Boyle, on north Seventh street, to-morrow at 2:30 p. m.

THE books and papers belonging to the Wabash and Erie canal, were on Wednesday removed from Dowling Hall, where the office has been since 1864, to the office of Goakins A Duy, on Ohio street. Judge Gooklns is settling up the affair of the old ditch.

THERE is considerable difference of opinion among detectives regarding the complicity of the parties arrested here last week for the murder of Milo Eames at Long Point those who made the arrest and interested in the rewards, being perfectly confident that they have at least some of the right parties, and those who are left out, being twice as positive that they had nothing whatever to do with it.

ON Wednesday morning, the 28th ult., at 7 o'clock, Preston B. Carr died at the residence of Mr. Sparks, at the foot of south Sixth street, of consumption. The deceased was fifty-two years of age. He was born in Prairie Greek township, this county, had lived here most of his life and was well known and highly esteemed by all with whom he had business or social relations. He was buried on Thursday by the Odd Fellows, of which society he was a member, Rev. C. R. Henderson preaching the funeral sermon.

THE stove foundry In this city is gradually extending its trade and may how be said to be one of our solid industries. Mr. King, the proprietor, is one of those prudent, careful buslnees men who never crowd a thing beyond a safe point. He is a thorough mechanic, a conscientious man, and will build up a lasting reputation for his stoves on their merits. He has some as good patterns of stoves— cook stoves especially—as can be found in the West, and the quality of the iron or smoothness of the castings cannot be excelled. In buying stoves, our citizens would do themselves credit and the business Interests of Terre Haute, as well as Mr. King, a judicious and proper service by buying stoves that are made at home. Being just as good and just as cheap as any other stovee, there is a double reason for "encouraging home manufactures." Purchasers should take this into consideration.
