had his
trial, on the charge of forgery, brought against him by the Commissioner of Pensions, to-day, and the result was his sudden and complete acquittal. 1 lie evidence wasoverwhelmirig a.id conclusive, bot. bv oral testimony and written documents, that ho had full power of attorney to justil'v his action in tiic premises. The Judg« refnarktri that tlioro was no valid reason for tho prosecution, and arrested the progress of tho ca-c before the delense had" concluded their testimony. The additional fact has becotn shown to-night., that clear locum en ta evidence of Bugler's innocence has been in the hands ot ommissiouer Van Aerman, and was furnished bv him to counsel for Huller on their deniand. Van Aernam has supplied most o' the ex parte information ot the prejudice of Butler, which has been sent out. to the country during the past year, and hicourse in the 1 in lit of present dewlopmcnts awakens no liitle surprise.—
Special Tele
gram from Washington. What a remarkable ease this presents. Mr. Butler, a Representative in Congress from the State of Tennessee has been defamed all the country over, by charges brought against him by the Commissioner of Pensions. lie has been held up to the scorn of the whole people by the press of the country, as one guilty of a high crime and misdemeanor, lie habeen arrested for criminal acts, tried by a criminal court on evidence furnished bv Van Aerman, ('•numissionerot Pensions, and by that court niosi honorably anc rightfully acquitted.
Now that he lnts been acquitted, from the fact that this Department most signally failed to make out a case againsi liim, it is also discovered, that in the pigeon-holes of this same Department, and known by this same Commissione of Pensions, there was filed away evidence whicli clearly and overwhelmingly established the innocence of Mr. Butler. Ts not this most remarkaleV An official, high in authority at Washington, tries to blacken and destroy tin character of a member of Congress, and when lie fails to do it he reveals the fact that evidence of the member's entire innocenci has been in his hands all the time. What kind of a man must this Van Aer nam, Coinmissionerof Pensions at Washington, bo? That ho is not lit to occupy such an important, position is clearly
evi
dent, and the President of tho United (States should send such a fellow whirl ing to the shades of private life.
But this ca-e is only in complete Keeping with the following whijh we (ind in the morning dispatches from Washington
was a fearful expose in
the
the
House
yesterday of tho dark ways and corrupt practices of
lobby and its influence on
Congress. The House Appropriation Committee learned last week that tho Treasury Department was about to pay a draft on iis current appropriation by the Postmastei General lor nearly a halt million ofdollars, to pay the claim of one George Charpening lor ancient, mail service, which had been repudiated by the I'ostofiice Department the last ten years. A resolution was passed, asking suspension o! payment until the investigation could 1: niade by tin* Commissioner. This investigation proved a most remakable stal of tilings one of the counsel of the claim ant was ex-First Assistant Postmaster General Ear Jo, late partner of Postmaster General Cresswell that tho joint resolution to pay tlm claim was put through tin House by John Cessna of Pennsylvania, under a suspension of tho rules, withom reporter debate that it passed tho. Senate the same day, and was signed soon after by the President, comprising in all but eighteen hours that E.trle submitted what purported to no the report of tin House Postal Commit-too to Cresswell in favor of this, but which proved to be williout the slightest foundation, no such report having been discussed by them and tliat Cresswell instead of waiting lor an application to pay tho claim, dre.v a draft against the General Fund for it, and that he paid it in the face of tho reports made by Postmaster Generals Jit-own, Holt, Blair, Randall and himself,
and that this claim had no foundation in law or equity there, and in-my other facts brought to attention of the house b\ Messrs. Dawes and IJoclc created such a consternation that, the members t:euerall.\ Jolt their seats and gathered around the speakers. When they eoiwluded the re solution unanimously passed, repealin. the joint resolution to pay theelaiui. Even Mr. Cessna, who pushed the job originally, sat in his seat and never said a word.
Is not the corruption exposed in this case remarkable. Here a prominent member of Congress, an ex-Assistant Postmaster General and the late law partner of the Postmaster General, enter.into this Itttle job to rob the Treasury of about one-half million dollars on a claim which has no "foundation either in law or equity." It was slipped through the House and Senate and signed by the President all in about "eighteen" hours. Why this hot haste, and how is it that such a thing can be done? Washington is brim full and run liiugover with corruption, and men higl. in authority,#nd exerting great influence are up to their elb ws in the dirty work. The people—the sovereigns of this country who own the Treasury and every dollar in it, and whose servants these officials are, must look into these things re determinately, or the time will come, and at no distant day too, when the centr dized power accumulated and strengthened at the Nati„nal
C-,niMl
will become the master aud the peoplJ its servants .However, in the«e time of
libel
suit a^r ist the press which thus outa ain these things, it might, ppp_ hap9 be more prudent for us to slip the muzzle on our mouths and be mum.
THE Indianapolis Journal of this morning has the following complimentary of our/rfenof"Truthful Jeemes" Hughes: "He never did, and never will, stand by any man, party or principles lonsrer than he can uae them
for
his own selfish pur-
He attached himself like a barnacle
thoin witli his aecustomosl malignity. Renegades always do this."
It' the Democratic Senator from Monroe, does not, at once challenge the editor of the Journal, and fight him just as he has fought out several other challenges', we will lose all the confidence' we have heretofore entertained of his great pluck and steady nerve.
THE following is a special dispatch to the Indianapolis Journal, from Washington "Hughes is expected here in a few day's with ollicbd copies, and it is hinted that Vuofhees ami Hughes have gotten up a mum admiration soeieiv with a vi-nv to making Hughes a candidate tor the ice Presidency after Hendricks is out-ol the way."
That is good—very good. Let the Democracy elect Hughes lor their ice President, and* he will not he in the chair one week, before he will give them the slip, and go over to the lie-publicans, lie is bound to betray his friends, and is not in his normal condition unless he does. He would be a Republican now, had he been elected to the Senate by the Democracy, but being elected by the Republicans, of course he is now a Democrat,
For the Gazet.e
An Independent Press.
In the.-e days of "dark ways" and "vain tricks," when every one, from the petty constable who daily walks his little round in search of some beggarly accountof empty bottles, or other trash, on which to pounce, like hawks on birds, Jor the benefit of some remorseless creditor, to aim who drives the chariot of State, is ookiug out for the advancement of hiown ends, without regard to consistency or principle-—when rings are formed the object of which is solely to promote the interests of those connected with them—when the lash of party is mercilessly applied to all who reiuse to iiow to itsVequ'irements, no matter what those requirements may be—when the public press that ought to educate the public mind in all that is upright and
Honorable, in all that is independent and just, is daily subsidi-ed hymen as rich in money as they are destitute of principle, it. is reaily reii-eshing, now and then, to observe a newspaper which has manliness and ld ness enough to stand up tor he right, to battle f.»r principle although in so doing it may lie compelled, with reference to the matter in band, to take i»ue with the party with which it is ,deuti!ied and for ho.-e interests and advancement it usually renders cheerful and vigorous service. rtuon an instance, I was glad to notice, in one of your leaders a lew days since .ipon the resolution recently introduced oy .Senator Morton, upon liie thread sale subject of reCoii-truetion.
There is nothing more needed among usatthe present time than independence, imlepencence of thougntand independence of action. Until those essential.-, are •installed into the public mind, we cannot expect the legislation of the country to be properly conducted, or its material interests judiciously promo'ed. A thoroughly independent man in any community is worth much, an independent politician more, ami a bold ouU-poken, independent. journal that will frown on vice and favor virtue, no matter where I hey art round, whether in the house of friend or foe, that will dare stand up for the right, even though the right may be advocated by a party of a different political fail from its own, and equally dare to "ondemn the wnm where wrong is advocated by those wiih whom it usually els, is a jewel who-e price, from itvery variety, it is almost impossible to estimate. 1 hope, therefore, Mr. E.h'or, that you .v 11 not
aliow
the good work, in which
you occasionally engage, to languish out will continue your e.'iorts in favor of honesty and right, whenever and wherever they may be attacked, with an entire disregard to those by whom the attack may be made, as I assure you such course will not only receive the approval of your own conscience, bur meet with the cordial endorsement of a just and discriminating publicsenfiment.

For tlic Renovation of the Hair
Plie Great Desideratum of the Age
A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. l\vled or gray hair Li soon restored to its original, color and the gloss ana freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied or decayed. But such as remain can be saved for .usefulness by this application, instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from falling ofl, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dtjjigerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a
IIAIK DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white ca Hi brie, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.

OUR NEW YEAR'S GREETING!
As we glance back over the work accomplished in seven short months, we are
sure our customers will not wonder at our feeling a little elated at our unusual,
but not to us, unexpected success. Our first visit to Terre Haute convinced us that
here, of all the cities in this State, was most needed a reform in the various system
upon which the Dry Goods business was being conducted. The motto of this sys
tem was, "Secure the very luigest profit possible 011 every dollar's worth of good?-
sold." "VVe believed a change was needed and that the people would generously
support any firm who, disregarding the machinations of the old high-priced stores,
would dare to write over their dours this opposite motto, "Sell every dollar's worth
of goods at the smallest possible profit consistent with safe business principles." In
pursuance of tli is idea we marked out our course and have pursued it without fear
or favor. We expected opposition, for we had been informed of tlie plans laid for
our discomfiture. We are not even sure that this opposition might not lake'the form of penonal violence, so when (lie high-priced stores took this way to bolster
up their falling fortunes, we were hardly disappointed.
Our Success lias been Unparalleled!
At one bound our Store took its position at the head of the Dry Goods Trade of
Terre Haute. We had not mistaken popular sentiment. Congratulatory and en
couraging messages and words came to us from every quarter, one and all bidding
ns go forward and never for a moment to doubt the earnest sympathy and hearty
