Additional Local News.
MISS GRACR WII.SOX, one of our oldest ind l)i-st teachers in the public schools, re--iuned her position in the Sixth Ward school on Friday. She hears with her the in'st wishes of hfr associates and pup Is in wlmtiver situation she inav assume.
The Journal undertakes to pay, Miss Wilson a compliment but spoils it all, in iier estimation no doubt, by calling her "one of the oldest teachers" in the public schools of that city. We have an idea that Miss Wilson did not thank the Journal for that assertion.
IIANEY'S WAREHOUSE. While in Clinton yesterday we observed the newwarehouse erected by our former fellowcitizen, C'apt. John Ilaney. It is situated on the east side of the railroad, and immediately by the side of the track and located 011 the road that leads to the cemetery. The structure is a very neat* and roomy one, and looks very much as though the acquisition of Mr. Haney as a citizen and business man is a valuable one to the town of Clinton, and a loss to Terre Haute. Success to him in his new location.
AN EDITOR INT LUCK.—Since his arrival in the city last evening, on a brief visit to his friends, Mr. Charles Winter received a letter from Germany, informing him that Ins uncle, who resided in Franl'ort-on-the-Main, had died, and left him twenty shares in the Louisville, New Albany it Chicago Railroad, and a declared dividend undrawn ol'lilty-nine dollars. We congratulate our friend Winter 011 his good luck, This i.s a "fat take," such as seldom falls to the lot of either editor or printer, and our friend Winter fills both bills.—Indianapolia /Sentinel.
It is so seldom that we hear of anedito having such luck that we give it a place in our columns as a phenomenon.
ONLY A DAY BOARDER.—One Dr. Burgess and a reputed disreputable woman were "taken in tow" by Officer Vandever this morning, on complaint of several families that reside in Early's Block, where the couple are alleged to hold unlawful communion. The case was tried before His Honor Mayor Cookerly in the forenoon but the Dr. set up as a defense that he took day board there "only that and nothing more," and His Honor discharged them for want of sufficient evidence, though there was not much doubt in the minds of those present that they were both guilt}*.
ANOTHER SMITII IX "DURANCE VILE." A "gentleman of color" rejoicing in the very popular cognomen of Henry Smith, having poured into himself too much benzine last evening began to display an unborn curiosity, by trying to eHVct an entrance into several different rooms in 'the Early Block, where he evidently had no business. Officer Rowland gently escorted him to the new Station House, where he found an abiding place until this morning, when he was brought forth into the presence of his Honor Mayor Cookerly, who fined and costed him in the sum of $10, which little sum his "cussed impecuniosity" prevented his liquidating and he was sent back to the Station House, where he now abideth.
TIIE BAIITINK COMBINATION made their second appearance at Dowling Hall Saturday evening before a house, that in point of numbers was very uncomplimentary to the excellent programme that was presented, and most skilfully carried out. We have not been so agreeably disappointed with any entertainment of the kind that has visited our city, as we with this.
We are pleased to learn that Mr. Bartine has perfected arrangements by which he is to assume the management of the "Academy of Music," but changing the name to "Theater Comique" on account of the very unenviable reputation that institution has in the eyes of all respectable people, from its recent management. Mr. Barline assures us that while he has its management everythingshall be firstclass and chaste in every respect, that he will open with his present troupe, which we know to be first-class, and introduce new artistes every two weeks. And we further understand that the wine room, and the present plan of passing liquors through the audience, is to be abolished, and everything fitted up in most excellent order. They are now filling a series of engagements at Paris, Charleston and Mattoon, Ills. We are pleased to learn of this change but if they introduce anything vulgar or immoral, we will, denounce it with all our energies.
To the Editor of Terre Ilaute Gazette: It is generally supposed that you gentlemen, who pick up news items for publication in your papers, intend to inform the public truly, or as near so as you can obtain information. The Express of this morning contains the following item "The Criminal Court is doing good work and proves to be a great saving of expense to the county."
An examination of the expenses and allowances made would show that the present Criminal Court will exceed the preceding system of trying criminals at least from £4,000 to $6,000. Why, sir, between November 12,1S70, and January 10, 1S71, both inclusive, $640 were allowed to Grand Jurors alone.
It would be well if editors, before making such assertions, would make inquiries, and find out near the truth of what they publish. C. T. X.
HORACE GKEEI.EY'S little boy, who attends an lip-town school, will tell the truth any way you can fix him. The other day the teacher spelled out the word "g-r-a-c-e," and asked the young man to pronounce it. He gave it up, when the teacher, to refresh his memory, asked him: "What did your father say this morning before eating breakfast?" The boy thought a minute, and finally said "Pa said d—n these eggs, they're rottin."

[Special Dispatchcs to the Terre Ilaute Gazette.] LONDON, Jan. 30.—A dispatch has been received at the British Foreign Office, confirming in full previous reports of the capitulation of Paris, to which it adds that one division of troops of the line, besides the National Guard, w*ill not be required to disarm, and communications with Paris is provisionally restricted.
LONDON, Jan. 28.—Favre was in conference with Bismarck at midnight. Bismarck carried his point. The capitulation involves peace, the cession of Alsace and German Lorraine and part of the fleet, a money indemnity to be guaranteed by the municipalties, a portion of the German army to return home, and the war to cease. It is necessary that some territory be retained to secure the fulfillment of tne compact. The Mobiles are sent home, and the German army enter Paris. The Emperor will return immediately to Berlin.
Jan. 28.—A decree has been
issued providing for the election of members of the German Parliament on the 3d, and its assemblage on the 9th of March.
It is positively known that Count Bismarck is endeavoring 10 treat for peace on the basis of the cession of Alsace and a portion of Lorraine to Germany. If Favre accepts the proposed terms Germany will recognize the Republic. The Imperialists are willing to accept thcsi conditions.
LONDON, January 28.—Bourkalci's loss in his attack on Von Werder'sarmy was fully ten thousand. There is great suffering among the French and the sick and wounded have been abandoned. The remainder of General Manteuffel's army have interrupted communication with Bourbaki's rear, and occupy Saint Vitquinny and Mauchard Junction.
BORDEAUX, January 28.—It isofiicially announced that General Ciinehart has been appointed to command the First Army Corps, in place of General Bourbaki, who is no longer able to perform active service. The latter seems to have, in a moment of mental aberration, attempted, unsuccessfully, to commit suicide with a pistol.
She then took fire and burned until the boat sunk. The night was intensly dark. After the explosion most of the passengers rushed down to the lower deck. Many in the confusion jumped into the river and drowned. When the bow sunk the waves washed the lower deck, sweeping off all gathered there. Captain Harry Brolaski, in command, says he had retired half an hour before he heard the explosion and felt himself lifted up and knocked down by the debris of the texas, which fell upon him. He managed to extricate himself, got an axe and cut his w:ay out, saving himself, wife and child, whom he took to the ladies' cabin, and left in charge of Captain Aleck Frazier.
The cable took fire several times. He and a few otheis succeeded in extinguishing it. Had the cabin passengers remained there, all would have been saved but owing to the fright, nearly all rushed down stairs.
Captain Brolaski's leg was badly twisted and he had several contusions about the head. His wife and her little sister, were seriously injured.
Captain J. A. Frazier, of Cincinnati, who was a passenger, says he and his wife were in a berth, but not asleep when the explosion took place. He heard a fearful noise ran out on the guard, after telling his wife the boat had blown up saw the state of affairs rushed back into the cabin found the ladies had all left but his wife and Mrs. Brolaski then learned that some one had run off with the life boat then turned his attention to putting out the fire. His feet were badly frozen, but beyond this he and his wife escaped unhurt.
About o'clock this morning Captain Edward Dabeje, of the tug Hi pout, heard a man hallowing out in the river. He got a skiff, went out, and took him off a cotton bale. He proved to be one of the survivors, and told of the accident.
Steam was immediately raised on the tugs Little Giant and Bipout, and the ferry boat Excelsior, which proceeded to the scene, pTcking up several on cotton bales and planks,
011
the way, and
brought all who could be found to the city, most of whom were half naked and chilled, and a large number badly hurt.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 28.—The steamer Arthur was owned here by Stetwell, Powell & Co., John F. Botinger and Harry Broloski, valued at $75,000, insured for $45,000, in Pittsburg, Wheeling and Cincinnati offices. The owners decline to give the names of her officers. The boilersof the Arthur were nearly new, ami were extra heavy. Her whole outfit was unusaliv good, and she was furnished with all the required appliances for the safety of life and property.
Five men took the life boat immediately after the explosion, went ashore and turned it adrift, when they were picked up by the Excelsior. The survivors talked oflynching them.
The officers of this boat say they saw several bodies on the wreck under the debris, but the wounded were suffering so from cold that they did not wait to cut them out.
Captain Brolaski says he had forty-five cabin and forty deck passengers, and thinks at least sixty were lost.
The boat had thirteen hundred tons of freight, including 1,200 bales of cotton, taken in here. The boat was about ten years old, valued at $80,000, insured in St. Louis for $50,000.
On the arrival of the survivers here they were taken to the different hotels, where every attention is being shown them, by the citizens. A large number of those saved are badly injured, many unable to talk. The Captain thinks the first clerk, Bowman was instantly killed, as he slept over the boiler. The second clerk is safe.
MEMPHIS, Jan. 28.—The wounded of the Arthur are doing well. They are all at the different hotels, where the citizens arevieing with each other in attendance. Ed. Anderson, book-keeper, thought to be lost, arrived here to-night, badly burned about the' face. He says Tom. Leonard, his assistant, also, George Sweeney Porter, second mate, thought to be lost, were saved, and left for St. Louis on the Lockwood.
The body of a lady apparently about thirty, dressed in black alpaca, brown hair and grey eyes, was recovered this evening. Not identified.
A body, believed to be that of the second steward, was also found. The cotton on the boat was insured in New York. A large portion will be recovered.
The wounded arc all doing well. It is believed none will die. The second engineer, who was on duty at the time, says everything was working well at the time of the explosion.
The boat was carrying only 120 pounds of steam, and was allowed over 126. He had just tried the water and found it all right.
One of the boilers was blown aft the rudder post, and smashed the yawl, while another is believed to have been driven through the hull, causing her to sink.
Owing to the rise the wreck is in a precarious condition. The underwriters have made arrangements for the steamer Check to wreck her.
ST. LOUIS. Jan. 20.—'The following is a partial li-t of insurance on the steamer \rthur Enterprise, Cincinnati, $5,0J0 Franklin, Wheeling, $1,200 Pea body, Wheeling, $1,300 Independent, Bo-ton, •52,300 Union, Cincinnati, S2.0J0 Georgia Home, Georgia, $2,500 ^Etna, Wheeling, $2,500 Citizens', Wheeling, $2,700 National, Cincinnati, $3,000 Western, Cincinnati, $2,50C.
But few of the risks on the Arthur contain the explosion clause. The insurance companies are, therefore, not liable, and much the largest part of the loss falls on the owners.

lation absolutely rule here. The lyment of the public debt so fast does not develop our industries. My resolution for cheap coal, &c., would lieip the people and not a class, but there can be no help had here this session. Land grants, air line railroads and appropriations take up our time. I desire, quoting the North American Review, to call our honored Secretory of the Treasury to account for his "no policy" policy. Ho would pay off the debt at the sacrifice of all interests. Why not take the tax off from income, coal, salt, lumber, leather, &c. The tax on coal is peculiarly harsh. It is not only a tax 011 all manufactures by caloric and steam, but a tax on the poor at this inclement season, when newstrikes are making coal so much higher. I shall be one of those here who will never let revenue reform rest till it is successful, never.
Speeches were also made by Mr. Colkins on the Alabama claims, and by Messrs. Bird, Hoar, Lawrence and Maynard, on the bill to promote national education by Mr. Axtell, in defense of the land grant policy, and Mr. Armstrong 011 the civil service. Referred.
The latter stated that he was authorized by the committee on that subject, to report a resolution for all pending propositions, as follows
Resolved, That the President of the United States be and hereby i.s authorized to prescribe such rules and regulations for the admission of persons into the civil service of the United States, as will best promote he efficiency thereof, and ascertain the status of each candidate in rcspect to age, health, character, knowledge and ability for the branch of service lie seeks to enter and for this purpose the President is authorized to employ suitable persons to conduct such inquiries, to prescribe their duties and establish regulations for the conduct of persons who may receive appointments in the civil service. The President is also authorized to prescribe the fees to be paid by all persons applying for appointments, which tees shall be applied to the payment of expeuses in making such inquiries.
