Dunn and Voorhees in Joint Discussion. We take pleasure in being able to lay before our readers to-day a full and succinct report of the "pssage at arms," which occurred between Messrs. Dunn and Voorhees at Annapolis in Parke county on Saturday. How it was done, will also be seen frohi a letter, also in today's issue.

So anxious has Mr. Dunn been to force Voorhees to a joint debate, that he abandoned some appointments he had in Vermillion county, and went to Annapolis on last Saturday, determining that his competitor should show his hand, or back square out. Dunn asked that the discussion on that occasion be made a joint one. Unluckily for Mr. Voorhees, he consented. The report of the contest will show what a mistake our Representative made. The triumph of Mr. Dunn must have been overwhelming and complete. This should teach Mr. Voorhees one important lesson, which evidently he has never yet learned, viz never to misrepresent to the people the course he pursued, the bills he favored, or the votes he cast. The campaign has to be a very short one indeed, if be is not caught at it, and then the exposure is terrible.

The enthusiasm for the "Boy" after the debate closed, we understand, was unparalleled by anything ever before seen in old Parke. Voorhees had been badgered into the joint debate, and then most signally defeated.

We ask a careful reading of the report of this contest. There can be no doubt of the result. Mr. Dunn had the facts, and he hurled them in the teeth of his competitor ill the most merciless manner. He knew Voorhees' war record, and knowing it, he flung it at him, lacerating him, and overwhelming him with it,

THE Journal, in speaking of the contest at Annapolis on Saturday, says: "We havo been promised a complete account of the meeting by a gentleman who was present, and it will appear to-morrow morning."

Hope you will publish a "complete account," If you do, the tall plume of the proven land grabber will trail in the dust. Do, Mr. Journal, give us a complete account. It would look well in the columns of your paper. For instance, when Voorhees denies the report of his celebrated speech at Greencastle as reported in the Democratic paper of that place, it was cruel in Dunn to refer to that speech, and then prove it by Democratic authority. Do give us a "co lete account," Mr. Edmunds*

Meeting of Bcnn and Voorhees at An napoiis. Editor Terre Haute Gazette:

joint discussion was held on Satur day by these gentlemen at Annapolis Dunn appeared at Voorhees' meeting and asked a division of the time. Voor liees consented, upon the condition that Dunn would open the discussion.

Dunn commenced by showing that the State debt, with taxes levied to discharge it, was actually increased under Demo cratic rule, from 1857 to 1860, over $2,000,' 000 and with a debt of over $10,000,000 —^increased by the war loan to $13,000,00 —handed over by an economical Demo cratic to an extravagant Republican party. The last named party had adminis tered the affairs of the State in such a a manner as to cancel and discharge the whole indebtednes, save $2,000,000 owed to the School fund of the State,?, to ourselves, upon which we pay interest and nothing more.

Voorhees' answer to this was, that if the debt had been paid it had been done by taxation. We know of no other manner ot paying State or corporate debt,

Dunn demonstrated clearly, from the official statements and a letter over the signature of the Acting Secretary of the Treasury, that the interest bearing public debt had been reduced in principal over one hundred and forty-three millions, since Grant became President, exclusive of interest upon the whole debt paid off,. and showed beyond the possibility of a doubt, that Voorhees' statement, that the debt had not been reduced "one penny nor would not bo for thirty years, but had actually been increased ninety-five thousand four hundred dollars over and above what it was when Johnson went out of office," was false and ivithout foundation. Not simply that, but Voorhees, who had voted against the Funding bill, and must have known its provisions for the cancellation of "purchased bonds," knew the statement was false when he uttered it, and that he made it simply to delude and deceive the people. Dunn called the especial attention of the audience to the fact that Voorhees uses the July statement of the debt, but will not and dares not refer to the August statement, which shows the reduction and amount cancelled under the Funding bill.

Voorhees in answer to this, referred to the July statement as proof of what he had said at Terre Haute, and claimed that when bonds were purchased the indebtedness cantinued to exist until they were destroyed in effect, that a note made by Dou to Roe, when redeemed and held by Doe, still represented indebtedness to the amount of the note.

Dunn showed the dishonesty of Voorhees' proposition to repudiate a portion of the debt, because, as he sai^, it was "without consideration, legal or moral." He showed that no such part was without consideration that if the bonds were purchased in depreciated paper, Daniel's utterances upon the floor of Congress and upon the stump, had depreciated it therefore, he, Voorhees, must shoulder the responsidility of increase in the amount of the debt. He showed that Voorhees helped to bury the greenback hero, Pendleton, at New York, and was condemned by his constituents therefor. That he now loves the paper he once hated and denounced, and would now flood the country with a circulating medium, which, depreciating on the hands of the laborer, would leave him, and not the bondholder to suffer. He showed that Grant's administration had brought us far away from the days of fluctuation in prices had established a financial equilibrium, and brought us nearer to fixed values and commercial stability. He showed that the law authorizing the original issue of greenbacks, limited the amount to $400,000,000 that it was unrepealed that the decision of Chief Justice Chase established the fact that legal tenders could only be issued under the war power of the Constitution, and under that decision no further issue could be made a legal tender for prior contracts. Voorhees complained that the interest was paid in coin. Dunn proved by the record that it was made so by Voorhee's vote, and finally showed^ that the feasibility of paying the 5-20's in greenbacks was a close issue. As'well discuss the practicability of abolishing slavery. He showed that under the Funding Bill, which saves twenty-one millions of dollars annually iu interest, against which Voorhees, the poor man's friend, voted, the final payment of the debt is postponed to a time when, taking into consideration the rapid growth and development of the country, the increase iu population and the natural credit strengthened, it will be immaterial whether we discharge our obligations in coin or paper. He called attention to the fact that the great West was the capital given us for the payment of debts and benefit of the fufuture. He spoke of the benefit Of the homestead laws and the securing of actual settlers iu their rights, and declared himself in favor of "not one foot of territorial extension—not one inch of territorial diminution." He then proceeded from the record, to show that Voorhees had denouueed "Land Grabs" as "swiudles," had announced himself as opposed to these "from first to last," and yet from the House Journals and Globe, he had been in favor of them from first to last. How Voorhees had helped tho bill on the first and second days how he had voted for and fav-ored it in the committee how he voted against laying it on the table how he voted every vital amendment tending to restrict the corporation, some one upon which he did not vote at all, and how on the final vote which was regarded as a close one, he sat in his seat until eighteen names below his were called, and when lie saw the bill had passed, asked to have his vote recorded in the negative. Voorhees, in reoly to this attempted to clear his skirts b"y saying that the Republicans voted for the bill, and Grant understood it. If it was a "swiudle," as Voorhees says, and as such lie has denounced it, does that fact exculpate him? He voted with the friends of the bill, lie said, in order to.get it before the House, yet he did not explain why he spoke in favor of it. He made no minority report against the bill, because no majority report was made in favor of it, Dunn showed that the report of the committee, of which committee Voorhees says, "I am a member, was unanimous in favor of the passage of the bill," that majority and minority reports are mere relative terms, and that Voorhees excuse was the merest balderdash. That with all his eloquence, his influence and statesmanship he uttered not one whisper on the floor of the

House,

nor elsewhere against the passage of the bill, yet he now asks "why did they not give it to the soldier?" Why did he not so propose? To the charge that ^he had favored the bill in committee, Voorhees answers there is "no proof." He did not and dare not deny that he did favor it in committee, but now seeks to screen himself behind a'fule in the House. Dunn charged it. Voorhees did not deny it, but simply said prove it. Voorhees stated he had voted for every amendment. Dunn interrupting him, a9ked how did you vote on amendment numbe three? Voorhees answeredhe "did not remember their order." "How did your

that way," (examining the record "no, I voted against it, becasse it gave the United States authority to take back the road I was in favor of doing by corpora tions, as I would do by the individual.'

Mr. Voorhees might have added that it also remedied the swindle by requiring the corporation to construct the road Dunn then showed by the House Journal, that Voorhees did not vote at all, on said amendment. Voorhees then at tempted to extricate himself by say ing, "I said I would have voted against it had I voted." To the question, "Why didn't you vote?" he had no answer. Dunn also proved from the Globe that Voorhees had voted for and spoken in favor of a land-grab meas ure in Oregon, giving away nine hun dred and forty thousand acres of land and voted against referring it to a com mittee, on the motion of Mr. Holman, in order that the House might see whether the measure was right or wrong. Voorhees gave the old answer, "Republicans voted for it—every Republican in the House voted for it." Dunn proved from the Congressional Globe that this statement is false.

Dunn showed, with all of Voorhees' sophistry and appeals to the laboring man, his hypocritical cry against taxation, and in favor of soldiers, that he had during the whole of the last term never introduced a single bill in favor of the people of his own district, a single measure in favor of soldiers, soldiers' orphans or soldiers' widows—a single proposition in aid of the laborer, but that he had from the profundity of his statesmanlike brain, brought to light one solitary resolution or bill, to aid the Kansas and Pacific Railroad Company in the construction of a railroad and telegraph line.

Dunn then said a great deal had been written and said about his having no military record. The difference between him and his competitor was just this: Mr. Voorhees had a military record. He then read from Mr. Voorhees' University speech, the first suggestion of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and said Wilkes Booth was the apt scholar of such teachers. He showed from the Greencastle Press, a Democratic paper, issued in 1861, that Voorhees declared that he would "never vote one man, one gun, nor one dollar, to carry death to Southern firesides." Voorhees answered that he had no recollection of having -f'made such a speech that he had said many things under excitement, &c., &c., but did not deny it. Dunn showed that according to "Mack," of the Cincinnati Commercial in 1864, (now Democratic correspondent to the Enquirer), Voorhees, in Greencastle called Lincoln a "monster," and he now professes great admiration for him. As to ever having called the soldiers "Lincoln hirelings," or saying they ought to have "a collar about their necks with 'A. Lincoln's dog' inscribed thereon, he repudiated the charge in toto. Had he not made Colonel Alexander Collector Did he not offer a bill to pay the soldiers in old? (When he knew it could not be one.) Dunn asked if Voorhees was the soldiers' friend, why did he declare at Gosppj-t that hard currency was Democratic money, and twirling a greenback in his hand, say, "The man who takes this as legal tender will bo greener than the greenback itself," thereby depreciat

to say "these charges I have met time and again," and gave Dunn to understand that he Dunn) had a record, that he was in Eupope during the war. Dunn showed that he went authorized by the Cabinet, of Mr. Lincoln, with a passport signed by Mr. Seward that his constituents at home knew his character and record, and had endorsed him. That he went to the people recomended by a Convention over which presided a loyal man, and not endorsed by one who, for acts of treason, was confined and limited to two townships. That it was true that he was in Europe sixteen months that he went at a time when ifc was thought that the bomb of the rebellion would burst, and Charleston fall before the forces of the Union army, and as it did not, and the war was prolonged, Daniel should shoulder a portion of the responsibility. He (Dunn) was in Europe sixteen months. It would have beeen a God's blessing had Daniel been there the whole four years. Voorhees had intimated that Dunn left his country in its hourof peril. Voorhees might have_ left it to his country's good. Dunn said it was true he was away from the country, but was away legally. He did not go via Detroit River or Niagara Bridge, nor had he ever visited the Clifton House. Voorhees said he might have visited Canada, but never on an "illegitimate mission (Peoule sometimes differ as to what constitutes illegitimacy.)

Dunn answered Voorhees' "fling," that Moses saw but never reached the promised land, while the Lord protected Daniel from the lions' jaws, by saying that Moses' rod became the serpent which ate up the little fellows, and that if the Lord then protected Daniel it was because He didn't know as much about him in days gone by as now, else he would have been fious' meat long 'ere this.

He concluded by saying, when such men as Voorhees talked of patriotism, nothing could surprise him further. He expected soon to hear that the rogues, murderers and thieves of the world had congregated in some vast mansion, and in ofder to conceal the blackness of their designs, had placed above it the cross and emblem of Christianity.

The Republican party offers the people its ptist record as tne guarantee of its future course. It offers you financial stability, peace and perpetuity. Democracy points you to greenbacks, repudiation and suffering. Choose ye between them.

Archbishop Purcell's Discourse on

the Ecumenical Council.

His Views Everywhere Looked for with Great Interest.

A Desperado Kills One Man .and Badly Cuts Another.

[Special Dispatches to the Terre Haute Gazette.] CINCINNATI, August 21.—Archbishop

Purcell's address upon the Ecumenical Council this evening excited general interest in the city. Judging from the preparations of the press and the arrangements made by papers outside of the city, the opinions of his grace upon the subject were looked forward to with eager interest by the country at large. The Bishop said:

I come to speak to you of the Ecumenical Council. The meaning of the word Ecumenical is the whole habitable globe. A council which is Ecumenical is one whose members come frtyn every part of the habitable globe. It must bo convened by the Pope and be a general council. Its proceedings must be sanctioned by the Pope and its decrees solemnly promulgated by the Pope.

These are the essential conditions of every general. council of the Catholic Church. The Vatican Council is so called from its being held iD the Vatican. It is the assembling of the General Council convened in our Church. With some explanations of the difficulty experienced in the selection of a suitable place for meeting, he proceeded to state that the Pope was never present the Council. He neither influenced or attempted to influence our minds or discourses, but left us perfectly free, under the directions of five Cardinals, one of whom was always present. The Council Was composed of 979 Bishops, and Generals of religious orders and bodies.

There were eleven Patriarchs and fiftyone Cardinals, a full representation of the East and West, North and South, of Kingdoms and States and Territories, in the first scheme discussed, the origin of governments, for the Constitution of the Church embraces the Constitution of.the States, and also the propagation of religions antl scientific truth should be discouraged, or whether such restraints should be imposed upon the students of science as would cripple them. I am happy to say that never have the rights of science been better vindicated than they were by the bishops of this assembly.

When an American Bishop, my own fellow student forty years ago, now Bishop of St. Augustine, arose to speak, he broached at once to the Cardinals composing: the Roman inquisition which had

presse(i too hard for their unwise ar-

If they are not disposed to respect Christianity it should be said to them, "gentlemen, the Bible is true and you must not pretend to find in science anything antagonistic to what is contained in Revelations and in the Bible. When you think you have done so it is your duty to submit it to the decision of learned and wise men, and to the Church, and tne Church will never find fault with you. The bishops of Pittsbury refuted the representation that our Catholics of America are not properly instructed, for if they

they would not deny papal infallibility, that the bishop was opposed to the principal and to the definition of infallibility strenuously and conscientiously opposed to it. ,7.# J„,

Heindignantly replied to the assertionl have referred to, by saying that our own Catholics are better instructed than the Italians, tie was told to be cautious, but I think he uttered a great truth. [Applause.] He did not want to disparage Italians, but at the same time could not allow such a thing to be said of our American Catholics, who, I can say with truth, are the best instructed portion, in my opinion, of the Catholic world. [Applause.] I wrote out my discourse on civil government, as we were advised to do, and sent a copy of it to the archives of the Council, there to remain.

In the discourse I took occasion to show that ours was the best form of human government, and that the source of power placed by God in the people, that Kings rule for their benefit and that they were not created for the benefit of Kings, and that the church of God has no need of Kingly patronage or protection. I said then of Americans, that our Civil Constitution gave perfect liberty to every denomination of Christians, that it looked with equal favor on them, that I believed this better for the Catholic religion than if she was the subject of the State's special patronage and protection. It is for the people to judge which of us is

menTwMSwn froSi tfie ambo, Archbishop Manning, himself a strong infallibilist, was the first to take me by the hand and say, "You area true Republican.' When I spoke on infallibility this was for me a subject, far more delicate to

1^,^

speak on than any other. I knew that tho Holy Father was in favor of the dogma, and for good reasons, beloved friends for he is on a higher eminence than any of us, and he could see better than any for the good of religion and Christianity. As I say, the Pope was in favor of his own personal, independent and separate infallibility, and, moreover, he was urged to this by many others. There were 530 bishops who thought with the Pope that hp was and is infallible.

We saw at once from the beginning that there was a decided majority against us, and yet we thought that we discovered inconvenience in the definition of this dogma, which it was important we should make known to the Holy Father, the Pope. We were twenty Bishops dwelling together in Rome, and we met to know what course we should pursue with regard to this matter. the Archbishop of Baltimore urged us to do what we proposed, viz.: To write to the Pope a most respectful letter, and implore him not to have this subject brought before the Council.

I drew up the address for the Pope in Latin, and he was the first to sign it also 27 Arch Bishops and Bishops signed it Almost all except the Arch Bishop of Halifax, and two others. The Arch Bishop of Baltimore, as I said, urged us to this course but he declined to sign the petition.

BALTIMORE, August 21.—Orders have been issued to the police force of this city by the Marshal not to interfere with boys selling papers on Sunday until it was legally tested in Court. The Sunday Bulletin was again issued to-day.

On Saturday while one of a party of youths standing in front of the post office gardens,.made an insulting remark to George Parrott, who was passing at the time, when Parrott rushed upon the boy and cut him severely on the leg and side, and then rushed at a young man named Timothy Harrington, stabbing hi.m in the breast just below the heart, inflicting, it is thought, a fatal wound. •.

Parrott was recently tried and acquitted in the Criminal Court for the murder man named Michael Reade. He was arrested as also were two companions as accomplices.

A whole family, consisting of a man, his wife and three daughters,, were arrested yesterday for abusing a man named B. C. Reed.

Dunn vs. Voorhees. ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 22,1870.

To the Ebitor Terre Haute Gazette: Dan Voorhees had an appointment at this place on Saturday. Dunn, on hearing that Voorhees' friends, in order to get a great crowd, were circulating the report that he would be there, determined to forego his appointment in Vermillion and see what Daniel had to say. One o'clock came, Daniel was on hand. Dunn proposed, through some friends, that Daniel give him a chance. Dan consented that Dunn should speak hours, Dan

hours Dunn 30 minutes, and Dan 15 minutes to close. In two minutes after the acceptance of the terms Dunn mounted the stand and spoke his hour and a half, making one of the most effective speeches that was ever made in Parke, riveting the attention of the immense crowd during the whole time. Dan then feathered in, and certainly no one but a good criminal lawyer could have made such a defense of himself and his course in Congress as he did, for Dunn had shown up his record in such away as not to meet Dan's approbation. Dunn then put in his other half hour, and Dan his quarter. The crowd then went away— the Republicans highly pleased with Mr. Dunn, as he proved himself a full match for the "Tall Sycamore." PENN.

ANEW RULE.—Judge Scott has, we are informed made a new rule in his court, in regard to the granting of divorces. He now requires the personal appearance of plaintiff before a divorce is granted. This will, we feel sure, be regarded as an excellent rule, and one whicji if established by all the courts, would in a short time put a stop to persons who reside out side of the State, coming to Indiana for the sole purpose of having the mstrimonial halter untied. Tho law of the State requires that applicants for divorces shall prove that they live in the State, but does not bargain that they shall testify as to whether they come to the State for that purpose, hence many como here for a while, make application, and then go back to their actual place of residence, expecting attorneys to manage their cases. This ruling of Judge Scott's will upset the calculations of all such,

IN OTHER cities there is a rule that undressed fish shall not be sold in market. It is considered that fish, as well as other meats, are not healthy if they are not killed as animals are or, Jin other words, not allowed to die gradually after being taken out of the water. If this be true of fish, and it is, no doubt, the rule is a good one, and ought to be observed in our market as well.

IT would be remarkable if Thier& and Guizot, Ministers of Louis Philippi, should be called to officiate in the same

capacity

with the latter's grandson, the

Count de Paris. It is long since France has been deprived of the administrative genius of these great men. The downfall of Napoleon would bring into the foreground of events all the great minds of France who have been hept in the background during the abject rule of the usurper.

A GREAT TELESCOPE.—The Naval Observatory has closed a contract with an Eastern firm for a new telescope, for which $50,000 was appropriated at the last session of Congress. It is to have an object glass of twenty-six inch aperture, which will be the largest perfect lens of that size in the world. Four years will be required to complete it.

HON. JAS. L. ORR has published a letter announcing his adhesion to the Republican party of South Carolina. He says for many years to come that party must control the State. Opposition to it will only augment and perpetuate existing evils.

The Washington, Kansas, Magnet says there have been taken np in Washington county, under the homestead act, 216,480 acres, and 1,353 homestead entries made.

patch to the World says the indications are that the Conservatives of North Carolina have evidence that will warrant the impeachment of Gov.

At St. Paul's church last night as the church was beiog closed a scene of wild excitement took place. The report of a pistol was heard in the gallery and a voice shouted, Oh God I am shot.

The frightened crowd on reaching the gallery found a man lying in a pew bleeding from a wound in the breast. On taking to the Station House, thcwould be suicide gave his name as Edward L. Margung. He said he was driven to the desperate deed by unprecuniosity. The surgeon on examining the wound closely found that the man had shot himself with canary bird seed, and is evidently an impostor. -.4 'i
