son was brought to this city Sunday by Constable Holmes, ofpdley township, on an order of Justice Meyers, charged with the larc-eny'of a couple of hogs, valued at fifty dollars, from a gentleman residing in that locality. Jackson had a preliminary examination before the above named Justice, who .held him to bail in the sum of .?500, in default of which he was committed to jail to await the action of the Grand Jury.

brutal husband,

residing on Eighth street, indulged in this too common practice, to the extent of beatinghis wife with a large club, and kicking her severely. Officer Wolfe arrested, and brought him before His Honor, the Mayor, where evidence was elicited which, if true, and we have no reason to doubt it, should condemn this fiend in human shape, to the penitentiary for tiie "period of his nalural life.' The Mayor lined him $25 and costs which was all he could do under the law. The injured wife then made an aflid.avit to the' effect that she feared he would take her life, and proved by several witnesses that he had threatened, at varum times and places, to kill her. The Mayor iixed his bail at $300 to keep the peace. He gave bail.

husband who is old enough

to know better, also "got on the ranipage" and went about slashing everything righfc and. left and finally, after beating his wife in a shocking manner, brought up in the jail, where he was ushered by officer Vandever. He was permitted to enjoy the hospitalities of ihat institution all night and was discharged from custody next morning because his wife would not appear against him. He had no sooner made his exit from jail than he commenced abusing his family even worse than before and officer Vandever again arrested and jailed him, from whence lie was again taken this morning and discharged.

We suppress the names of both these excuses for husbands on account of their highly estimable wives and families.

Whisky is said to he the cause of all this family unhapiness and misery but whisky is no excuse for conduct that would disgrace the "dark ages of the world," when all women were considered, and only recognized as slaves.

YOL. 1. TERRE HAUTE, IND.. TUESDAY AFTERNOON. JANUARY & 1871.

Woman's Wajc.".

The following is from the pen of a wornaii, and siie pleads the cause of her sex with much ability: rtocKViLLE, IND., Dec. 30.

Should women's wages be equal to men's, when tlie work done is the same? Custom answers no. Capital answers no. Monopolies of all kinds answer no, a thousand times no. lit the South,wh.ere women toil under the burning sun in tiie C'ltton lields in the factories or New England, where delicate girls and iitile children wear "out their Jives in eea-eiess work in every sewing shop in our land, where women sew eleven hours a day, and some: imes into the night in every kitchen where women are employed as servants, comes up the cry, ye-1. But their voice is weak, and their wrongs cry unredressed to heaven. Women who fare sumptuously every day neither feel or realize this curse, but:with their proud hand crushing the unprotccled, they help along this sin ami misery, and think if they give a few dollars in charity tiiey are relieved from all responsibility. Charity is very sweet, but justice is-bet-ter. Why is it that out of a thousand women, compelled to earn their own living, we never see over ii ve get independent, or twenty keep themselves in comfort? Won't they work, don't they work? Tiiey can work, and they do. With hollow cheeks and shrunken figures, and well worn garments they glide around our thoroughfares looking the personification of woe, or sink wn to degrcdation, the victims of man's heliish lust.

Every lady teacher in Tho laud, that, receives but half the amount paid to man in the same capacity, is a standingrebuke to our Government, that allows them, doing a public work, paid at public expense, to receive such a mere pittance while thousands upon- thousandsare paid to public o'iicer-, whose business is a I mere sinecure. Every lady clerk in the olliees at Washington receiving only half salary, is a disgrace to the Government that permits such a thing.

Yet we are congratulated that our sex is allowed to teach, or clerk at all, and are pointed back to tiie time when tilings were not so. Tiiey might as well congratulate us that we Vere not at our birth, thrown into the Ganges or burned on the funeral pyre of our husbands. There is as much justice in it, and about as much a subject for congratulation. We were told a short time since by Dr. Holland, that on an average, women unskilled, and as a class, could not compete with men, therefore they did not, and .should not have as much wages.

Does this apply to eases where women are skilled, and have taken years of expensive education to make them so? Where work is as well done, where is the justice of defrauding them of one-half their pay? No wonder women look to marriage as their oniy relief, and are glad of beimr supported. They use every art and artifice to catch a husband, for work for women is not generally considered respectable. Tiie cost of living for a women is just as much as for a man.

To be sure women do live cheaper so do Chinamen. Tiiey wear poor and insufficient clothing they live at thirdrate boarding houses, or cook their own meals, after returning from.eleven hours' hard work never knowing what a good warm meal is from Monday morning to Saturday night. Men could do the same. They could live much cheaper than they do, if they would practice all the small economies women do, and are compelled to. If men will dispense with all superfluities, wine, whisky, and cigars, not to speak of any tiling else, the bare cost of subsistence would not be any more thau for a woman.

One dollar a day is considered good wages for a woman, no matter what^hcr occupation, yet even where men "do the most unskilled work they command better, and if they dawomeu's work, or that generally considered so, they demand men's wages. We hear that a man has a family dependenton him, he must have it. How many women that wash all (layover the wash-tub, have not families dependent on them, and whoever thinks of paying them more on account of it? There are cases of individual ehai\ty I do not deny, and that a great many "old ciotlies are given away, or that a. great many women cheer their motherly hearts, and stiil their conscience by act's of charity, but this does not reach the bottom of this trouble.

Neither wilt I deny that women as servants do not slight their work, and are a worry and a pest sometimes. But by giving such poor wages, by making work for women is reputable, we drive women's from honest work to dishonest callings, or to careless marriages. Women wages all the world over should be better, and our Legislatures should see to it, where lubiie money is paid to women, it.should ,e paid as regards the worth of the work, not the sox of employe to be considered.

Yours, A. B. C.

A ftrunkfti Congressman Beating- iiis V»"iiV3 the Daughter of 8imo:i Cameron. WASHINGTON, December 20.

An a (Tail- of a somewhat private nature, if a public defamation ami eastigaHon of the wife ol' a drunken member of Congress by her husband can be private, astonished the town last Wednesday night. It was in Wiiiard's Hotel. For some time pa Richard J. HaIdeman,_Domocratie member iVosn the York j)istiict of Pennsylvania, ha^ been on a grand debauch." Ten days ago he entctcd the Hou-e of Representatives f,o maudlin drunk that lie was unable to articulate when he arose, holding on to his desk and after.a rapping of the (Speaker's hammer had failed to seat him, he was left, standing until some of his friends got him off to the cloak-room. iiis wife, a lady of refinement and spotless character, tiie daughter of Senator Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania, mortified beyond measure, sought him out and endeavored to get liisn sobered down, and, though failing in her labors, did not despair, but clung to the wreck.

On Wednesday night, toward midmight, the wife of a United .States Semitor^ whose husband was at the Senate attending tiie night session on tWS.ui Domingo resolution, was aroused by loud and infamous language in an adjoining room, addressed to the wife of Haldeman by that debauched representative and then hearing blows, the Senator's wife rang for help. Soon the proprietor aud two or three servants were brought to the hall, and two members of Congress were roused from their rooms by the shrieks of a fenrjale voice, mingled with the exclamation of ^ou't, liichard, don't! don't!" The hotel proprietor, Mr. Svkes, at once hammered on the door, ami warned the wretch Haldeman that, unless he instantly ceased his violence, he would spend the night in the police station. He stammered out a rrpuidlin "Yes," and his wife not appealing to those who had by that time arrived iu the hall for protection, they did not feel warranted in forcing the door open and taking her away.

A servant was stationed in the hall to watch for further trouble, and again at half past 1 and at 4 A. M. it became necessary to pound on his door to frighten the ruffian from further violence.

On the iiext morning the cowardly wife beater was ordered to leave the house at opco, and never to return, and

his wife war. invited to remain. Herface was shockingly bruised, both eyes were blacked, and other marks of this demon's brutality were on her person.

She said that the fiend had vice knocked her down, had kicked and choked and bruised her, yet she still thought it her duty to remain with the loathesojne wretch, and try to reform him and on that day they both left for York—he a drunken sot, and she a disfigured, heart-broken, humiliated wife.

Alexander I/ur.ms.

The New York ITerald gives the following estimate of tiie life and character of the la'e Alexander Dumas

Undoubtedly, Dumas was a ma: of genius, ilo, it may be said, created a new school of i'Veneis literature. By his bold innovations, more than to anything else, was the literary world of France freed from subjugation to arbitrary ruies of composition. Damns was also a wit, but his sallies were always good natured. We may add that he was open-hearted and charitable. Here ends all we say in favor of him. If we look at the other side of his character, we find him shockingly dissolute. How many mistresses he kept during his lifetime we do not know, but we have seen it-estimated at twenty. lis son. the author of "Camilla,", is the ofl-pring of one of these mistresses. The oid man entertained a supreme contempt for tiie married state. With characteristic synieism be said one day:

HIS EGOTISM.

Never did author posses.? so high an opinion of himself and of his genius as oid Alexander Damas, pere. But there was always something delightful in his egotism. One could never become disgusted with if. He permitted nothing of importance to transpire without taking part in it. Did the cholera rage in Paris, he knew all about it, and could name a certain remedy. When lie wanted to seii a work of his he wrote neat letters to the newspapers, filled with first class pulls of himself and his book, signed his name to them, and requested their publication. When he performed a charitable act lie hastened to let the world know it. The value of hisautographs became the theme of enthusiastic self-laudations. Once lie was taken aback by a notary. He had been invited to witness the"legal ceremony of a marriage in the provinces. When the time came for signing the names, he advanced and wrote, "Dumas, pere." What's your business?" inquired the notary, who had probably never read a novel or witnessed a performance in. all iiis life. This incident was promptly reported by Dumas in a letter the Paris papers. "To think," he remarked, after*indulging iu the usual puffery, that a man lives iu France who has" not, heard of the author of 'Monte Cliristo But, in spite of his egotism, lie was much esteemed iu private life. His sell-lauda-tions were always so gay and amusing, and so aimable in language, that they were never obnoxious to the reader. One would willingly drink the detestable soup which he made himself for the purpose of displaying his gastronomic skiil, rather than offend him by declining, so invariably good natured was lie.

IIIS AI'i'EAHANCE.

Dumas was a large, burly man. His clean-shaved face was heavy, cheeks red and round as an apple, eyes dark, lips large And sensuous. He had a. massive neck, which he always kept uncovered. His forehead was not very prominent, but it was an intellectual looking one his hair was short and kinky. In complexion Dumas was a shade lighter than a mulatto.

31 r. Grosley's New Panacea. The Tribune of Saturday publishes annother chapter of "What I Know of Farming," by Horace Greeley, iu which he announces the following novelty, which proves how practical is the mind of tliis great philosopher "1 would like to see one of our solvent, well-managed railroads advertise that itwould henceforth buy at any of its stations aii the farmer's produce that might be offered at tho highest price that the state of the market would justify. Let its agent- purchase whatever came along— a basket of eggs, a coop of chickens, a barrel of apples, a sack of beans, a pail of currents—anything that could be sole! iu the city to which it run- and which would conduce to human sustenance or comfort. Its object, shou'd tie freight the rapid and vast increase of its transportation, not extra oroiiton the articles transported. But

let its agents be ready to buy affair priccs whatever was offered, paying cash down, and pushing everything purchased directly into" market, so as to have the

money

back to buy more wish directly.

The 'railroad company, thus owning nearly everything edible it brought into market, would buy and sell at uniform prices, and not bid against itself as a. crowd of hucksters and middle men will often do. I am confident that a railroad would inaugurate this .system on a right, basis, spying to every farmer living near it, "Grow whatever your soil best adapted to, and bring it to our station there you shall have cash down for it at the highe.-t would friegh Is, a na wou

you biiuii 'i:i\ c:-i»n uov. ll lor it Of., ghe.-t price we can afford to give," rapidly double and quadruple its ts, and would-thus build up a trans-

son is married he does not iovc woman. 1 love woman hence I do not- marry." In matters of religion he was a seep'tic. Christianity did very well for the masses, but not for intellectual men, lie declared at another time. Oi'ten he would speak of his "philosophy," although there* was probably not a less philosophical mind in France than his.

goo

-inus ouiiu up

porialion business wiiich has no parallel under the present-system.'1" -We can readily imagine the immen?o beneiits v.-hich agriculturists Avould derive from this system. Whenever farmers came to the depot with perishable property, if they relused to accept any price ottered by the railroad agents and desired to ship their products themselves to any market, how easy it would be for the railroad agents to forward them only tiie next day on the excuse of an unusual press trafdc—or to ship by a slow train, while the products owned by the rail road are forwarded by a fast line. In either case it is ea-y to perceive now how much, more the farmer would receive for his perishable property by shipping it himself to 'market insfcad of by selling it to the railroad agents.

Aud what nice pickings the railroad agents and their partners and friends could make by purchasing produce for their private account when tiie markets were active, because under-supplied, and selling to the railroads when the markets were dull, because ovcraupplied What a fine opportunity this new system would offer to the middlemen who had made things "all right" with the railroad agents Certainly Mr. Greeley deserves to receive a leather medal from the farmers for this admirable scheme of his which, no doubt, will make them all millionaires.

Story or Jefferson, the Actor. A New York letter says: "The actor Mr. Jefferson, went into a down town bank to draw a check, yesterday, payable to his order. Strange as 'it may seem, no one of the clerks recognized the actor in the citizen who stood before them, and, to the demand that he must be

identified, he could make no satisfactory exhibit. He looked about the bank, glanced over the queues of customers, but suw no familiar face. lie turned to the paying teller, and, in the tones familiar to all New York, said 'If iittle dog Schneider was here, lie would know me.' This sentence identified the actor, and (.very clerk knew him at once —in fact, had known him all the time. Jefierson got his money, and Hie bank was relieved from the dreadful suspicion of having a corps of clerks who do not attend the theater." Tins reminds us of a- somewhat similar story told of L'indscer. Having occasion once to identify himself, he was unable to do so, mit.il he bethought him-elf that the person with whom he was doing buoine-s might be acquainted wi.h 'his picture:-, and a-ked him if he knew "The Throe Friends." The person answered iu the affirmative, whereupon the artist died for apiece of blotting paper and a pencil, and hastily sketched down a fae simile of the painting. It is needless fc say that the identification was most complete and satisfactory.
