Additional Local News.

MR. B. G. COX, of the popular book store of B. G. Cox & Co., this day drops the "Co." and proposes to "go it alone." We predict that Ben. is amply able to go it alone from what we have observed of his successful management in the past, which is auspicious for the future* We can say for him, that he is a gentleman in the fullest sense of the term, and deserving of the most unlimited success.

THE following appears in theLaFayette Journal: We are happy in being able to announce that the Atlantic & Pacific telegraph line will be extended from Indianapolis to this city in a few weeks, and will go straight through to St. Louis. This will give us a rival line and cheap telegraphing which is much needed in this city.— Terre Haute Express.

The Journal copies the above item from the GAZETTE and credits it to the Express. And we will venture the assertion that the proprietor of the Express is not in favor of any such thing.

THE REASON WHY.—Let it be remembered by our citizens that Mrs. Mary A. Livermore will deliver a lecture on the above theme at the Opera House, Monday night of the coming week. We have heard this great light of the woman's rights movement several times iu the East, and only think her second to Miss Anna Dickenson, as a lecturer, aud we have no hesitancy in recommending all of our ci.tizens, who can appreciate a lirst-class intellectual treat, to go and hear this most estimable lady and gifted speaker upon that occasion.

TNILLSON.—From the dispatch to be fjund in our telegraphic reports of to-day from Cincinnati, it will be seen that M'lle. Nilsson is recovering from her sickness and her physicians think she will soon be able to till her engagement, which announcement will no doubt encourage our citizens who are holding in trust their Nilsson tickets with a martyr like patience. The rest of the troupe are givinga.seriesofconcerts in thesurrounding towns and cities, which we learn i'rom the Enquirer. Lexington, Ky., will be favored this evening with a very fine musical treat, as the troupe, even without the great star, is about the best in the country. We hope to hear of Miss Nilsson's speedy recovery, and hope to hear her warble before many days.

TIIE New Albany Ledger will hardly liuti in Republican America—aud certainly will not find in the office of this paper—any man who is ashamed of having earned his living by selling clothing or by any other honest and lawful pursuit. Henca the Ledger's allusions to "the 'sheep kloding" in,iu of the Terre llaute Express," entirely tail to annoy the person lo whom they refer. It is only your modern "Democrat" who sees anything disc reditable in an honest but humble occupation. A true uan will respect himself while earning his daily bread with pick and shovel just is if lie were iu "the highest station."— Express.

The above is all "korrect," "a man is a man for au' that," but this is not the p:)int. A man ought to be a gentleman, and not use the term "idiot," "idiocy," &£., quite so often, more especially whin referring to editors of other papers. It don't sound pretty. Capt., we told you that you h^d caught a "tartar" in that New Albany chap. Let this be a lesson to you, and hereafter keep a civil tongue in your head.

A HANDSOME SIGN.—As we were passing up Ohio street this morning, we noticed the neatest and most beautiful sign we have seen in this city, hanging "on the outer wall" of the office of Havens & Faris, the gentlemanly agents of the Anchor Life Insurance Company, and numerous other responsible companies. The sign consists of a beautifully colored shield, emblazoned with a nejit gilt anchor, emblematic of hope, with the motto of theCompany—"Sure and Steadfast aud also showing the name of the Company and its agents in large and imposing characters. It represents the Anchor Life Insurance Company, a company recently organized in our midst, md bearing a long list of of the most responsible men in the city as stockholders. This neat and beautiful piece of painting was executed by Mr. C. N. Sauford, of this city.

THE BARTINE COMBINATION have leased the Academy of Music and are going to commence a series of performances at that institution Saturday evening next, to continue indefinitely, but changing the name to "Bartine's Theater Comique," because of the disreputable can-can performance being given at that building under the management of that prince of blackguards, Jake Berry, when it bore the name of the Academy of Music. In a card elsewhere to be found in this paper, Charley Bartine pledges his word that nothing even bordering on vulgarity shall appear upou the stage of the Comique while he has its management. While Mr. Bartine keeps his pledge we wish him a hearty success, but when he sees fit to introduce any vulgarities on his stage, we will do our utmost in denouncing him and breaking up his performance. Some one will run the building as a theater, and our citizens si.ould feel that it is to the good name of city that it is to be managed by a gentleman in future instead of a low-down scamp that would disgrace a State's prison with his presence.

WEIGHT OP A MILMON DOLLARS IN GOLD.—To the question, "What is the weight of a million dollars in gold?" an ollicer of the Mint answer as follows: "The weight of one million dollars United States currency in gold is 53,750 Troy ounces. This makes 4,470 lbs. 2

.—or nearly two tons and a quarter, reckoning 2,000 lbs. to each ton."

THE Mobile Register believes that the South lost its Confederate life and independence through its refusal to put the negroes in the fiqjd as soldiers, and in its judgment, had Davis, instead of Lincoln fulminated the emancipation proclamation, the war of secession would have triumphed.

COXGBE8SL(»SAL STMJIAKT.

WASHINGTON, February 2. Senate,

Mr. Harlan presented a memorial from over 1,000 citizens of Des Moines Valley, Iowa, setting forth that by a_decision of tl.e Supreme Court of the United States, they are threatened with ejectment from the'landson

which

they settled in good

faith lor tl.e purpose of obtaiuing homesteads, and

asking

relief. Referred to the

Committee on Judiciary. Mr. Saulsbury addressing the chair said, he rose for the first] time iri his life to a question of privilege. Not one of mere personal privilege, but a-4)uestion which aflected the character and dignity of the Senate of tne United States. He moved to reconsider the vote by which Mr. Pomeroy's resolution of sympathy with the people of France and Germany was adopted on yesterday, so that Senators mignt read it and see whether it read better backwards than forwards, or whether there was any sense in it.

Messrs. Conkling aud Pomeroy desired that a vote should be taken at once, and the question beiug put, Mr. Saulsbury alone responded in the negative, to the great amusement of the galleries. The

TERRE HAUTE, IND.. FRIDAY AFTERNOON^ FEBRUARY 3. 1871.

motion to reconsider therefore was lost. The motion of Mr. Conkling that the Committee ou Commerce be discharged from consideration of the joint resolution to prevent objection to prevent obstruction of the navigation of the Ohio river, was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.

Mr. Warner, from the Finance Committee, reported back the House bill authorizing the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to suspend the use of the meter now used in distilling spirits.

Mr. Edmunds objected to present consideration of the bill, when it went over. The Senate, on motion of Mr. Sherman took up the House bill to allow importatioiof brandy with the same rights of drawbacks as allowed to rum and alcohol. The Senate Finance Committee's amendment-providing that drawbacks shall not be allowed uutil they pass the act, was agreed to, and the bill passed.

On motion of Mr. Lewis, the amendments of the House to the bill to divide Virginia into two Judicial districts, was concurred in.

At 1:30 the Senate agreed to the pending motion of Mr. Williams to proceed with the bill subsidizing a steamship line iu the Gulf of Mexico.

Sir. Kellogg then proceeded to urge the claims of the Gulf States upon the liberality and attention of the Government. After commenting upon the almost unanimous Democratic vote iu the Senate against taking up the ^»ill,.as significant of hostility to the commercial anil industrial interests of the South, he explained that the bill provided for comparatively a small subsidy for a semimonthly steam mail service for ten years, between New Orleans and the Mexican coast. Three first-class Ameri-can-built iron ships were provided. For the first five years of the contract $150,000 was to be paid, and for the last, $500,000 per annum. In case of war the Government was to take the steamships at a fair compensation. He then referred to the extent and desirability of the Mexican trade, to the efforts of England and other countries to monopolize it, as well as the commerce of the Spanish Americm countries south of the United States, and the rapid diversion of this trade in foreign bottoms from its legitimate channel through the United States.

Mr. Casserly regretted that partisanship had been introduced into the discussion, and stated one of the subsidy bills was of peculiar interest to the people of the Pacific coast. On that account he had voted to take up the subject, but could not concur in several of its propositions.

Mr. Chandler said he desired to speak on the general question, but was not now prepared.

Mr. Warner on leave introduced a bill to allow the Savannah & Memphis Railroad Company in Albama to enter public lands.

At 3:30 the Senate went into executive session, and subsequently adjourned. Houee.

Mr. Holman reported a bill for the relief of Captain David L. Wright, of the 51st Indiana Volunteers. Passed.

The House took up the bill extending the time to construct a railroad from St. Croix river or Lake, to the west end of Lake Superior aud Bayfield.

Mr. Pomeroy made an argument against the bill, and in favor of a reform in the whole land grabpolicy of the Govern roont.

Mr. Strong declared himself opposed to railroad land grants, but denied that the responsibility for them was attached solely to the Republican party, oti which party public odium in connection with them was sought to be cast. If Democratic members had stood by Republicans who opposed such grants, the Northern Pacific Railroad bill would not have passed, and if they stood by them now they would defeat the bill.

Mr. Randall spoke against the bill and against all land grants. He sent up to the Clerk's desk and had read a letter from his colleague (Myers) to the Labor Reform Association, of Philadelphia, written during the last canvass in reference to land grants.

Mr. Myers remarked that the letter read justified the position which he took in favor of the bill, that he would vote for no land grant unless such was necessary to open up a large territory to trade and commerce.

He alluded saroastioally to his colleague (Randall), as a leader of the Democratic side of the House, who made all objections, and motions to adjonrn. [Laughter.]

Mr. Wilkinson argued in favor of the bill aud in support of the land grant polas tending to open up new lines of travel, and break up great railroad monopolies.

Mr. Kelley spoke in favor of the bill as beiug one merely reviving a grant formerly made. Heshould sustain this and every other revival of grants where it could be shown that good faith and due diligence had been exercised in carrying the original grant of laud other than such as would be necessary to construct a great Southern trans-continental road. The people of the South were entitled to such a grant, and so he had said when interrogated by his constituents.

Mr. Washburne, of Wisconsin, reviewed the facts, and argued in support of the bill. In reply to an inquiry, he said the bill would cover a little over a million of acres.

Mr. Johnson expressed himself willing to support the bill if the price of rail road land was restricted to two dollars and a half au acre, to be sold to aotual settlers, in quantities not exceeding 160 acres.

Mr. Cox reminded the House that the great body of the people, workingmen, irrespective of party, were beginning to be jealous of the course of Congress in reference to the puWio domain. Whatever might be done hereafter, one thing

was certain, that the Democratic party

latform in correspondence workingmen's platform,

aud if the Republican party made a different platform it would only assist the Democratic party to obtain power in 1872.

Mr. Wilson, of Minn., closed the debate with an argument in support of tliei$)er

bill. Mr. Holman moved to recommit to the Committee on Public Lands. The question was agreed to, yeas, 102 nays, 84. This was equivalent to rejection of the hill, aqd the Committee on Public Lands will not be called during the present Congresg.

The House took up as special order, the bill reported by Mr. Hoar to establish a system of national education, but without proceeding to its consideration, at 4:15, adjourned.

Death of a Miser—He Makes a Mistake of $495 and Drops Dead. A correspondent of the Abington (III.) Democrat, writing from Kuoxville, thus relates the peculiar death of a miser residing in the latter place, who was reputed to be worth $^0,000. "He had a nephew," says t-he correspondent, "a very worthy young man," who was going out West to seek his fortune. A few days before he was ready to leave lie went'to the old uncle to sell him some notes of hand which he hold the old miser would not touch them, but said: "You have always bem a good boy, only alittletooextravagant I will make you a present before you leave." He drew a check on the bank for $5, as he supposed, but owing to his bad eye-sight and worse penmanship, it proved to be §500. This unaccountable act of benevolence soon became noised about town, and, of course, came to the ears of the miser. He rushed to the bank and under great excitement asked one of the banl^pfficials what the amount of the check he had given his nephew was. "Five hundred dollars," said the clerk. "What! said the miser. "Five hundred dollars," said the clerk, producing the check. After reading and trembling in every muscle, he gave one long drawn sigh and exclaimed, "My God I am a ruined man," then sank down and died

THE Newport (R. I.) News thinks there can be no doubt that Gov. Sprague was as loyal during the-war as any man in the country, and it says so frankly, because it is unwilling to seek, in the bitterness of party strife, to deprive even an opponent of the honors that are due him.

TOTHKLADIFA BALTIMORE, February 17, 1870.

I have bef a suflerer from Kidney Complaint producing Gravel and those afflictions peculiar to women, prostrating my physical and nervous systems, with a tendency to Consumptive Decline. I was dispondent and gloomy. I tried all "Standard Medicines" with no relief, until I took De Bing's wonderful Remedy. I have taken six bottles, and am now tree from that combination of nameless complaints. How thankful I am to be well.
