Deserved Compliment.
The managers of the Terre Haute Indianapolis Railroad, who have made it one of the very best thoroughfares in the country, in all their relations with the public display an amount of good sense and fairness to which we wish to call the attention of other railroad men. If an accident occurs, on their road "the details, as soon is they can be ascertained, are given to the reporters for the public press. There is no effort to conceal the facts or represent the matter other than it is. The whole truth is told and the public is put. in possession of all the facts ais soon as possible. Such a course would seem to everybody the only sensible one, for it at onqp kifl^ the many exaggerated rumors sui^o atise in case of accidents, but there are Very few railroad men who do not believe a sup-
£like
wmi
ression of the facts are the best thing, the ostrich who conceals his head in the sand and thinks his .whole body hidl den, some of these managers try to keep the public in ignorance. Generally, however, it is worsejor the road, and in the long run^Us.jw^art^vin to pa^ fl^ie confidence of the public l?'ar good Thing even for a railroad company to have and action of this sort soon wins it.

WASHINGTON, June 24.—The commission of Colonel Ackerman, Attorney General, will not be issued for several days. His friends say they have reason to "believe that he will not qualify for a month to come, until which time Judge Hoar will continue to discharge the duties of the office. At a Cabinet meeting today, the Attorney General was represented by Judge Field. Sir. Ackerman, by invitation from the President, called during the session and was personally introduced to the members of the Cabinet present. He took no part in the proceedings.
The Secretary of the Treasury has directed the payment of the July interest on and after the 28th instant.

The President yesterday signed a bill creating a department of justice. This takes I'rom tlie Treasury, Navy and State Departments their solicitors and their clerks, and the employees in their office, as also that of the revenue bureau, and places them under the Attorney General's.? Its approval caused a great flutter among the employes of the bureaus to be transferred to the new department.
President Grant recently mentioned to several Senators that he intends to remove Motley, Minister to England, as soon as a suitable successor can be found. During the conversation the President incidentally mentioned the fact that when he formed his Cabinet, having selected A. T. Stewart for Secretary of the Treasury, lie intended to offer to Fish the mission to England but he had, for well known reasons, withdrawu from the Senate the nomination of Mr. Stewart, and Mr. Washburne having been transferred to the French mission, he tendered the Secretary of States Kip to Mr. Fish who reluctantly accepted the position, but consented to occupy it, at least temporarily. AVhile it is certain that Mr. Fish can now have the mission to England if he desires it, it is equally certain that no words have passed between the President and Mr Fish upon the subject.

Mr. Ramsey introduced a bill to establish trans-Atlantic postal telegraph service by American cables.
Mr. Morrill of Vermont, from the Committee on Finance reported a favorable bill to require National banks goin into liquidation to retire their circulating notes.
Mr. Sumner called up a resolution to be reported at a previous day as substitute to the House resolution on Cuban affairs.
Messrs. Sawyer and Morton suggested corrections of the phraseology. Mr. Tliurmau said" the substitute of the committee was merely grandiloquent rhetoric, which failed to extend one iota of aid to the Cuban patriots. It was simply an anti-slavery declaration, which might with equal propriety bejaddressed to many other Governments besides Spain. He preferred to speak directly to the point and say to Spain that she ought to recognize Cuban independence, instead of making her argument upon the theory.
Mr. Casserly, a member of the Committee on Foreign Relations was not prepared to say to the Spanish Government that we understood any better the merits of the slavery question in Cuba than she did.
At the expiration of the morning hour the subject was laid over. The Senate resumed consideration of the tax tariff bill, and the sections continuing the income tax were stricken out yeas, 84 nays 23.

Mr. Lewis, against the vote, paired with Spencer in its favor. Mr. Sherman asked a vote on the sections containing the income tax on dividends and corporations, but subsequently asked to have the bill postponed till Monday next, to give the Finance Committee opportunity to consult.
Mr. Williams and others favored the striking out of the tariff section, and the substitution of a limited free list, which appeared to meet with general favor, and tiie general merits of the bill was discussed upon Mr. Sherman's motion to postpone, which finally prevailed.
At 3 o'clock the naval appropriation bill was taken up. The amendments imported from the Naval Committee were agreed to. They regulate the pay and allowances, and retirement and promotion of officers, fix the number in the last grade, etc. It was then reported to the Senate from Committee of the Whole.
Mr. Harlan introduced a bill for additional Representatives in the Forty-sec-ond Congress. It provides that in any State in which the reported population by the ninth census shall exceed by 150,000 or more that of the preceding census, there may be one additional Representative in the Forty-second Congress foxeach 150,000 of such excess, and for each additional fraction thereof, exceeding 125,000, the States are to be notified as to an additional member as soon as the census returns are in, and, unless otherwise directed by a State, such Representative shall be elected on a general ticket.

Mr. Dickey's amendment was agreed to, 121 to 71. The next vote taken was on Mr. Farnsworth's amendment, as amended, and it was agreed to—ayes 100, nays 88.
The amendment by Mr. Lawrence, imposing conditions in regard to suffrage and school rights and privileges, was rejected.
The next question was on the substitute offered by Mr. Dawes for the Senate substitute. Agreed to without division.
The bill now stands as follows without the preamble: Section 1. Be it cnactrd, kc.. That the State of Georgia having complied with the reconstruction acts, and the 14th and 15th articles of amendment to the Constitution of the' United States having been ratified in good faith by a legal Legislature of said State, it is hereby declared that the State of Georgia is hereby entitled to representation in the Congress of the United States, but nothing in this act construed to deprive the people of Georgia of the right to an election for nrdhibers ot the General Assembly of said S tate, as provided foMn the Constitution of said State. & STC-Oii

A WOMAN AS A FINANCIER.
Remarkable History of Mrs. Mary A Rakb—The Curious Courtship of Opulent William Tnll—A Lone Woman's
Fight with a Gang of Conspirators. INDIANAPOLIS, June 16.—With all the progress of women there is no field in which she strikes such wonder into the world at large- that is to say, into the mind «t man—as when she sets out in the financial line. In the remarkable trial of Mrs. Clem for murder last year there was no part of the suit
presented
with
such energy as that which related to the. mystery of her financial matters. Now comes the revelation of business operations of equal magnitude in a shorter space of time, and mystery and catastrophe of crime which followed the financial affairs of Mjrs. Clem.
The case is tliat of Mrs. A. Rabb, who is sued in the name of Wm. Tuil, by certain interested parties, lor the recovery of $17,000, claimed to have been a loan from the said Wm. Tull to her. There is a variety of rumors respecting the case one story being that she obtained the money upon the pretense that she was possessed of considerable property in Western Virginia another that she held property (as the widow ot Andrew Rabb) to which she was not entitled, as his true relict and lawful wife, Mrs. Rabb No. 1 iS.
NEITHER DEAD NOB DIVORCED, I A third account is that her maiden name was Johnson, and that she was a niece of Dick Johnson, of Kentucky that she married a physician in Covingington, Ind., of the name of Marquam, with whom she lived disagreeably and that she possessed herself of his medical library and instruments, and with them in haiid laid her case before an attorney for divorce. As the city of Indianapolis rejoices in the residence of three Mrs. Rabbs, any of these stories may apply to others as well as herself, and I have been at some pains to sift the conflicting rumors to the bottom^ Tothisend I sought and obtained iin interview with Mrs. Rabb herself.
She is living in along room divided off into chamber and parlor, in a row known as Miller's block, occupied principally by small shops and offices. There was an appearance of comfort about her room, and she was neatly and becomingly dressed in lavender alpaca. She is tall and fair, and has soft light hair, which clings In close waves to her head, and was arranged in a plain coil on tlie baok of her head. She is
NOT HANDSOME, BUT ATTRACTIVE. That is, in a crowd, she would always be looked at a second time. Her manners are extremely simple and winning, while the expression of her fcice and her walk indicated nerve and decision of character. When I saw her she was visibly unnerved, and told her story with tears and smiles alternating upon her face. She looks at one steadily in speaking with an abstract air, which is rather charming than otherwise. I will proceed with her story, using her own language as near as possible, prefacing that she is apparently an unlettered woman, but endowed with unusual
SHREWDNESS AND COMMON SENSE. In reply to the observation that her maiden name was Johnson, she said: "It is not so. Nobody knows, and none shall know that. I haven't told nobody that." "No! I have not always lived here. I came grom the South—that is all. I have them there that I may go back to some time. I don't want to lose that."
Here Mrs. Rabb burst into a passion of tears, and her frame shook with agitation, She resumed: "I am going to send my boy there. I don't like to have him round in my trouble. It nearly breaks my heart when be puts his arms around ihy neck and begs me not to cry. [Weeping again.] I
WORKED AT DRESSMAKING
a while with Miss Lu Shearer. Then I set up mantua-making on my own account. Then, after the war, I kept a stand on Illinois street. There is where I met Mr. Tull. Wm. Tull is a farmer in Morgan county [where Mrs. McFarland got her divorce], and has 1,000 acres of land. He has one daughter, married to Morningstar, who lives on Tull's place, and pays $1,500 a year rent. He's afraid Tull will marry me. Needn't worry himself [with a toss ot her head that is perfectly indescribable]. Tull is a little low man, with a good face. He is about 60 years old. In the summer of 1869 he bought some candy of me for the grandchildren. He talked to me some, and every time he came he bought something. Asked me if I had no means but that stand. Told him I sold my watch and ohain to help buy the stock, which was worth $375. Asked about me. Told him I WTIS
MARRIED ELEVEN YEARS BEFORE, and had one son, now eight years old. Then he asked me to marry him, and I answered him that I loved another. Not long afterward he took my clothes out of pawn and one day he gave me $500. I did not want to take it, and he said he would make it more. A ahort time afterward he gave me $2,500. Then he wanted me to take $5,000, and I told him that it would get me in trouble. People would say I had stolen it. 'Not much they won't,' he said, 'if my name is Tull, and I think it is. I'll give you an article of writing. Then who's afraid?' Sure enough he couldn't read or write, but he brought ascribe and gave me an article. Here it is, [taking a paper from a large package of notes and letters]. I have two others of the same.amount. [Copy of Document.] To all whom• it may concern
Be it known that I, Win. Tull, of the county of Morgan and State of Indiana, of my'own«free will, and without any promise of reward, give and bestow unto Mrs. Mary A. Rabb, of the county of Marion and State of Indiana, five thousand dollars ($5,000) for her sole use and support.

WILLIAM TULL.
June 8,1870f mark. "Some months ago, Peter Wilkins came into my room with a man by the name of Johnson wanted $100 at 20 per cent. I was informed that he was a bad man, and I didn't let it go. He told my lawyer on the street, tapping him on the shoulder as I passed, 'I have a good thing on her.' Went to my friends about me they told him to git. Swore he would have the money out of me. A week or two afterward he came to my room with a man I didn't know, demanded money wanted $10,000 or a check made toward me as if he would take hold of me. I ran to the window and raised the alarm. They put out the door, and followed Wilkins down the street overtook him in front of llMunameir's store, and better bellieve
GIVE HIM HAIL COLUMBIAI
They said they would prove anything on me. You are nothing but a woman. There were 25. fellows running over the country—Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri —running after evidence. Told a gentleman friend of mine that if they did not get the money one way they would have it another. They would watch and take it from me.
When asked what made Tull begin the suit, she said Mr. Tull was actually held in durance for several days, and given the impression that he had committed some crime. Scared and confused, he consented to the suit. "Tull said he did it to save his friends, make peace for his family. Didn't want to swear a lie. Didn't put his mark to it. There was a perfect run of people down to his family about her. Williams was the name of the man that came with Peter Wilkins. He's a sweet bird. He was indicted for perjury once. Them lawyers got him off. If I ain't been put through I don't know who has. They're afraid I'll marry the old man he told me so. I had a talk with him since the warrant was served on me, but not alone they came with him. Said again that he did not do it these men did it. I want you to have the money. You have always tried to make an honest living, and I think you would do well if you had any chance. Tuil has been very kind to me."
At this point Mrs. Rabb repeated the substance of much of the above, without varying a syllable from her first statement. There was, withal, an appearance of distraction about her that was really painful. She wanted to show me a paper that she could not find. Her papers were stowed away in all sorts of odd places and she said she missed some very important documents. I noticed that.
THE DOOR WAS BARRICADED
at the sash and transom, and there was a double bolt upon it. There was a new and startling phase of life to me in this woman's forlorn condition, shut out from all care, and beset by a party of bloodhounds ready to devour her. "Do you feel quite safe here I asked. "Have you no female friends to stay with you I never shall forget the look with which she said: "I never make women my associates, A woman working in a shop hain't got manyfiiendu some women might treat me well, but others would kick me down stairs.

ANDREW RABB."
Mrs. Rabb has shown GREAT WISDOM IN HER INVESTMENTS. She bought a lot and has a dwelling almost compled on it. She lent money to advantage, and has proved herself more than a match for two or three who sought to outwit her. She has conducted herself with prudenc®, and lias enlisted the sympathy of some of the most respectable men in our city.
The liberal attachment of Mr. Tull for her is very remarkable, but it is not so extraordinary as the persistence with which she had been hunted down by a set of men who wish to extort money from her. They presumed upon her defenseless condition. Happy for her there is a sentiment of manhood in the community which will not suffer a woman to Oe thus imposed upon. Her protectors are evidently beginning to lind it out, for to-day comes a proposition to compromise with her for $2,500. She says no, as she did to her old friend Tull. "If I have done wrong, let them prove it. I have not been mean, and I will not appear mean by coming to their terms."
The end will probably be that the suit will be stayed. But if this charming woman meet with no untoward fate, then will the signs of catastrophe fail.
