TUB Indianapolis Journal has much to say about the Pendleton-Hendricks war, ami the "happy family" of Democrats, but never a word about the griping pains in the very bowels of our own party. How about the Sumner-Grant San Domingo embroglio? Speak out, man don't ,be afraid.—Terre Haute Gazette.
This is the language a bold and honest "Republican, who does not hesitate to condemn wrong in his own party, and hold up its unprincipled leaders for public execration.

Colonel Hudson is one of the few Radical editors who have the manliness to entertain opinions of their own, and the •.Courage to express them and he is airways prompt to censure wrong-doing in his own party, or to approve a good action by a political opponeut. The Colonel seems to be endowed with prophetic ipowers, for all his predictions as to the effect of the infamous course of his party friends in Congress are rapidly being realized and fulfilled, The fact that the
Republican party has performed its mission, and is doomed to eftecturl annihilation at the next Presidential election, is daily becoming more and more apparent.— Vincennes &un.

DON'T FEED THERE.—We wish to caution farmers against leaving their wagons standing in the middle of the street and feeding their horses therein. Day before yesterday, a farmer came into town, and not knowing of the ordinance prohibiting the same, he hitched and fed his team out in the middle of the street, for which he was arrested by Marshal Wliiteman and Officer Robertson and taken before the Mayor, who in consideration of his not knowing of the ordinance, discharged him after a fair warning that he would "catch it" for the seen lid offense.
A PROFESSIONAL, BOKROWI&T.— We heard of a lady in Evansville who is so proficient in the accomplishment of borrowing from her neighbors, that she succeeded in borrowing a breakfast which was prepared and on the table, of one of them because her servant girl had been out to a party the previous eveniug, and did not wish to be disturbed so early in the morning. The victim of this borrowing scheme not only permitted her !o take the breakfast from her own table, but ordered her servant to assist, and then prepare another breakfast for her own family. This rivals any borrowing we have ever heard of.
DEAD BEAT PRINTER.—Last evening a "dead beat" drunk printer calling himself a "Pennsylvania Dutchman, and one of the best printers in the business," put in an appearance at the Station House and claimed the hospitalities of the city, which were granted him for the night. This morning he was discharged, but for a dirty trick, that vrould disgrace even a dog, but which he did when intoxicated as no dog would want to be found, he was arrested by Constable Kaufman and Officer Shewmaker and lodged in the calaboose, where he now languisheth.
THE local editor of the Terre Haute GAZETTE savs he is in favor of giving the devil his due. Why don't he surrender his ghost, then ?—New Albany Ledger.
The old fellow has notified us, through the spirit of George D. Prentice, that we are not wanted for some time, as he expests soon to receive a call from the local of the Ledger, and will have in him such a rival as will require all his exertions to keep him from usurping his throne that in the accomplishment of lying, the local of the Ledger is far his superior. The old chap does not want too many local editors on his hands atonce. Sensible devil.
IMPORTANT TO RAILROAD MEN.—At a meeting of the Indianapolis and Sf. Louis railroad company at Pittsburg day before yesterday, E. W. Woodward was unanimously elected President, General T. A. Morris having previously tendered his resignation which was duly accepted. Mr. Woodward was formerly President of the Little Miami Railroad. The line from Indianapolis to St. Louis via Terre Haute and Alton will continue to be operated independently, under his management in the joint interests of the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis railroad company, and the Pennsylvania Central, both of which roads equally own and control it.
SLATE AT DOWLINO HALL.—There was a fair attendance at the Slate entertainment and gift carnival at Dowling Hall last evening, and entire satisfaction given. We freely admit that some of the tricks performed by Professor Slate excel any we have ever witnessed, while all who were present will join with us in saying that his distribution of gifts is in good faith and entirely fair. The magnificent chamber set was drawn by Mr. William Chadwick, who resides on South Second street, while many other gifts of less importance, but any of which were well worth the price of admission, were distributed with a liberal hand, and in the fairest manner conceivable, giving entire satisfaction. The panoramic views, in themselves, are well worth the price of admission, some of the statuarv being the finest we have ever seen.
To-night the principal gifts will be $25 in greenbacks, one of $15 and the other of $10, besides many other gifts of lesser value. The professor will give three more entertainments, on this evening, to-morrow afternoon (Matinee) and to-morrow evening respectively, upon which occasions there will be a large at tendance, no doubt.

Some such plan is indeed necessary, for is seems that they will not die a natural death for most all the professional jurors are old "dead beats" who have grown gray in the practice of their iniquitous calling. As a general thing, they are the last of the generation to die.

Baron Nathan then seized the flag and exhorted the crowd to advance against the illegal force occupying the place. The order was obeyed, when the Nationals .occupying the place beat their drums and fired in the air. The crowd retreating slowly, three ranks of Nationals filed out from the main body and fired. There was a terrible scene for five minutes, and then the crowd broke into terror-stricken retreat. At least thirty persons were killed and wounded by the fire of the Guards.
Baron Nathan received two shots in the breast. The Nationals in the Place Vendome have since been reinforced and are orderly.
The National Guards, generally, have been called to arms and fighting is apprehended to-night. The affair has created a great consternation among the people of Paris.

PARIS, March 23.—At one o'clock this morning there was great excitement. Signals were fired from rifles and cannon atBellevilleand Montmartre. It was a false alarm that the Prussians were coming.

The P^ris Deputies have published a manifest to the electors, of which the following is a synopsis: On the 10th instant the people of Paris insisted on the removal of the Assembly to Paris, as that city could only be the capital of France. It is necessary to avoid agitation while the invader is camped on the soil of France because of their presence it is necessary for the Assembly to hasten to the delivery of France and to serve the Republic. The proclamation is well received.
Jules Favre read a letter from Count Von Bismarck, who says events in Paris do not indicate the execution of the convention entered into with the German commander, which forbids any approach to the Hues before the forts occupied by the Germans. The Count claims the restoration within twenty-four hour of the telegraph leading to Partlin, which has been destroyed, or Paris will be treated as an enemy and should there be any more preceedings in violation of the preliminaries of peace, the fire of the forts will be opened on the city.
Favre stated to the Assembly that he had replied to the Count that the insurrection in Paris was a surprise to the Government, but would be repressed. If there was delay in its suppression it was because the Government was still hopeful of avoiding bloodshed. The Government had no means of repairing the telegraph, but would ask its reinstatement of the Mayors of the arrondissements through which it passed.
Several Paris newspapers have removed tc Versailles. The Paris insurgents obtained from the Bank of France 1,000,000 francs against a deposit of a formal Treasury bond. A requisition made by them on Rothschild wi»s refused payment.

COXGKESSIONAL SUMMARY.
WASHINGTON, March 23. A'mate.
Mr. Pomeroy introduced a bill in reference to suppression of disorders in the South, and authorizing the President in certain cases to declare martial law in disorderly communities, and call out the militia. Referred.
Mr. Sumner said that resolutions of the Senate, under the ruling of the Vice President yesterday, were not excluded from consideration, and therefore asked leave to present a resolution which he forwarded to the Secretary.
Mr. Conkling objected, on the ground that resolutions were prohibited under the rule.
A general discussion ensued on this point, during .which Mr. Sumner proceeded to read the resolution he had offered. He said it was a resolution in reirard to employment of the navy of the United States on the coasts of San Domingo, during the pending negotiations for acquisition on part of that Island. The preamble was as follows:
WHEREAS, Any negotiation by one nation with a people of inferior population and power, having in view the acquisition of territory, should be above all suspicion of influence from a superior force, and in testimony of this principle, Spain boasted that the re-incorporatiou of Dom'nica with her monarchy in 1S61, was accomplished without the presence of a single Spanish ship on the coasts, or Spanish soldier on land, all of which appears in official documents aud,
WHEREAS, The United States being a Republic founded on the rights of man, cannot depart from such principle and such precedent, without weakening the obligations of justice between nations, and inflicting a blow on Republican institutions.
Mr. Sumner was about reading the accompanying resolutions entire, but had only finished tne first resolution, declaring that the United States naval forces should be withdrawn from the Dominican coast, when Mr. Conkling addressed the Chair.
Mr. Sumner continued to read without giving way to the interruption, but Mr. Conkling persisted in being heard, and was recognized by the Chair.
Mr. Anthony then inquired, what had become of the question of order some time since submitted by himself?
Mr. Sumner. Let the Senator state it. Mr. Conkling. I am going to do it, Mr. President, so soon as the voice of the Senator from Massachusetts es not fill the chamber, to the exclusion of every other. He then submitted, that if upon the point he had raised, it was not in order to receive resolutions.
Mr. Sumner. It was equally a violation of the rule for that Senator to read them at length.
The Chair replied that in the way debate had proceeded, he would accord to the Senator from Massachusetts the same license allowed to others.
Mr.Sumner then hastily resumed reading his resolution, reciting that since equality of all nation without regard to population, size or power, is an axiom of international law, as the equality of all men was an oxiom in our Declaration of Independence, nothing could be done to a small, weak nation, that would not be done to a large or powerful uation, or that we would not allow to be done to ourselves, and therefore any treatment of the Haytien Republic by our navy, inconsistent with this principle, was an infraction of international law, and should be disavowed by the Government of the United States.
Mr. Morton here addressed the Chair, and denied the right of Mr. Sumner, or any other Senator, to get before the Senate a speech on San Domingo, in the form of a Senate resolution, when there could be no reply.
The Chair reiterated his opinion that the remarks of Mr. Sumner were quite as much in order as the rest of the debate.
Mr. Sherman called attention to the fact that the morning hour had expired, when the Chairman stated that the pending subject would be provided for. The regular order of business was, Mr. Sherman's resolution instructing the Judiciary Committee to report a bill to suppress Ku Klux outrages, on which Mr. Scott was entitled to the floor.
The remainder of the resolutions of the series submitted by Mr. Sumner, but not read, declare the employment of the navy of the United States under instructions of the President, for coercion of the independence of Hayti, by the presence in ports of that Republic of United States
war
vessels, and similar acts of hostility against a friendly nation, to bean usurpation of the war powers of the Constitution that these acts be disavowed by the United States that except belliger ent intervention is iuexcusable, and should be abandoned.
Mr. Scott then addressed the Senate for several hours, on the testimony reported in the North Carolina Ku Klux investigation.
After discussion between Messrs. Morton Bayard, Stevenson aud Scott, a message received from the President was ordered read and printed, and the Senate at 5:40, after executive session, adjourned.
House.
Mr. Farnsworth rising to a question,
:offered
a preamble and resolution setting
forth that the Senate has adopted a resolution, declaring that the Senate will not consider other legislative business but the deficiency appropriation bill, the concurrent resolution for the appointment of a joint committee to investigate affairs in States lately in insurrection, and the resolution instruction the Committee on the Judiciary to report a bill or bills that will enable the President and courts to execute the laws in said States, and any report which may be made by the Judiciary Committee on the subject, thereby refusing to consider any business which may originate in the House therefore, be it
Resolved, The Senate permitting, when this House adjourn to-morrw, it be until the first Monday in December next, at 11 o'clock A. M.
Mr. Farnsworth, at the suggestion of Mr. Conger, modified his resolution so as to fix the time of adjournment on next Monday.
The House refused to lay the resolution on the table. The question recurred on agreeing to the proposition.
Mr. Dawes called for a division, When the resolution was separately and first voted on and agreed to, yeas 112, nays 69. The preamble to the resolution was then agreed to.
A message from the President of the United States, was announced, recommending such leisglation as in the judgment of Congress shall secure life, liberty and property, and enforcement of law in all parts of the United States.
The message having been read, Mr. Shellabarger moved it be referred to a select committee of nine, to be appointed by the Speaker, aud he demanded the previous question.
The motion of Mr. Shellabarger was agreed to, when the Speaker announced as the special committee the following named gentleman: Shellabarger, ofOhio, Butler, of Massachusetts, Scofield, of Pennsylvania, Dawjes, of Massachusetts, Blair, of Michigau, Thomas, of North Carolina, Morgan, ofOhio, Kerr, of Indiana, and Wbittlehouse, of Tennesssee.
The House then adjourned until Monday.

TERRE HAUTE, IND.. FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 24. 1871. NO. 252.
WE are indebted to the Indianapolis Journal for the following specials: WASHINGTON, March 22.—The President sent the following message to Congress this afternoon: To the Senate aud House of Representatives
A condition of affairs now exists in some of the States of the Union rendering life and property insecure, and the carrying of mails and collection of the revenue dangerous. The proofs that such a state of affairs exists in some localities are now before the Senate. That the power to correct these evils is beyond the control of the State authorities I do not doubt but t'le power of the Executive of the United States, acting within the limits of existing laws, sufficient for the present emergency, is not clear therefore, I urgently reccomniend such legislation as in the judgment of Congress shall effectually secure life, liberty and property in all parts of the United States.
It may be expedient to provide that such law as shall be passed in pursuance of this recommendation shall expire at the end of the next Congress.
There is no other subject on which I would recommend legislation during the present session. [Signed] U. S. GRANT.
WASHINGTON, March 23.—The Pres'i dent came to theCapitoi to-day, attended by his Cabinet, and had a consultation with the Southern Republican delega tion. They agreed upon the substance of a message, which the President then transmitted to both houses of Congress.
There is no truth whatever in the report sent from here on Tuesday, stating that Secretary Boutweli was soon to be removed. His policy is sustained by Congress, and approved by the President-. He is likely to remain at the head of the Treasury Department to the end of Grant's administration.
The action of the House to day on the President's message definitely postponed the adjournment for some weeks.

Vinegrnr Bitters are not a vile Fnncy Drink Made of Poor Ram, Whisky, I*roof Spirits and Kefnse JLiquors doctored, spiced and sweetened to please tlie taste, called "Tonics," "Appetizers," "Restorers," tc.., that lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin, but are a true Medicine, made front the Native Rootsand Herbs of California, free from all Alcoholic MtiniulaiitM. They are the CvRKAT IILOOO PUKIFIER and A LIFE GIVING PKISfCI I'LE, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the System, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy condition. No person can take these Bitters according to directions and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison
VTta
or other means, and the vrtal organs wasted be-
yond thepointof repair.
They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, possessing also, the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or inflammation of the Liver, and all the Visceral Organs.
FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, whether in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters have no eqnal.
For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheninatism and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Ril.ious. Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver. Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have been most sirecessful. Much Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood, which is generally produced uy derangement of the Digestive Organs.
DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs,Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Had taste in the Mouth, Billious Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart, Inflaination of the Lungs, Pain in the region ot the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia.
They invigorate the Stomach and stimulate the torpid liver and bowels, which render them of unequalled efficacy in cleansing the blood of all impurities, and imparting new life and vigor to the whole system.
FOR SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring Worms, Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysiplas,Itch,Scurfs,Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out, of the system in short time by the use of these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will convince the most incredulous of the curative effect.
Cleanse the Vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through theskin in Pimples, EruptionsorSores, cleanse it when you find it oostructed and sluggish in the veins cleanse it when it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure aud the health of thesystem will follow.
PIN, TAPE, and other WORMS, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. For full dtiections, read carefully the circular around each bottle, printed in four languages—English, German, French and Spanish.
