MONDAY, MAY 1, 1871.
Editor of Tcrrc Haute Gazette: In relation to a petition signed by me some time ago, in which the use of the school house on Ninth street was otiered by myself and others to the Board of Public Schools for their fall use, on condition that they should continue to pay the salary of a teacher, who for a long, time has held the position of teacher in the public schools of this city, I find now that the Express, for some reason of its own, is trying hard to misrepresent the facts in the case. My whole agency ami desire in this case was for the public good. It is a known fact that at the time I presented this petition, and up to this day, there is a great lack of accomodation in the public schools of this place for the scholars who claim and have a right to claim admittance to them. The parties owning the school house in question were heavily indebted, and felt willing and glad to offer this school to the public free of all charge, on condition that no sectarianism was introduced there. This version, simple enough, was not accepted, and the use of the school house declined on the ground that there was all the accommodation needed. Whether this be true or not, I leave to my fellow-citizens to judge. The school house not being accepted, I have ever since supported t!lifs school property out of my own means, while at the same time I have been one of the heaviest tax-payers of this city, which certainly does not look as if I wanted to take the money out of ot hers' pockets for the support of sectarian schools.
In this connection, Mr. Editor, permit me to say that this hue and cry about sectarian schools is one which ought not to enter the arena of politics at all. As for my own part, I believe my sentiments are shared by a great majority of my fellow-citizens. I insist that our public schools should be free as the air we breath, and all denominational teaching should be wholly excluded therefrom—neither should the Protestant Bible be read and expounded there, as is now the case—nor do I wish to have the mass introduced there.
Our schools ought to be accessable to all denominations alike, Jews or Gentiles, as all alike contribute towards their support and sustenance. If this principle was once recognized all rancor and ill-feelings would soon have to give way to a broad recognition of the rights of ail.
CONGRESS
Now that it is passed, what is going to be done with it? Martial law has not been declared, nor habeas corpus suspended. No army has been^ sent to occupy the South, and not a Ku Klux lias been hung, nor have troops been dispatched for his capture. And the President has quietly left the Capitol for a little trip, without taking action under the bill. Is it to be a dead-letter? If there was immediate necessity for its enactment, is there none for its enforcement? If it was a mere party electioneering measure, to make up the issues for 1872, how long can those issues be kept alive without an effort to enforce it?—for to omit this is either to admit that the bill was passed under false pretenses, or that is a failure.— Cincinnati Commercial.

remained in session over
six weeks to pass the Ku Klux Bill. Nearly every member of either House spoke his piece about it at least once. Those who did not, printed reams of the same sort, which their fellow-members had not the heart to submit to having indicted upon the Senate and House respectively. The debate was heated, protracted, disorderly and furious, even for Congress, where wind, heat, tumult and fury have become commonplace. It went to assure the country that the impending peril was Ku Klux the para~ mount question, the suppression of Ku Klux the bill the only means of accomplishing this. Thatitwas immediately necessary to secure the great results of the war, to restore order and put down new rebellion. Also that it was subversive of tho Constitution, of the reserved rights of the State, and of Garrett Davis, and that it would establish a military despotism.
Sol-
TIic Only Surviving Revolutionary dicr. The Washington Republican says The rolls ot the Pension Office furnish us with the name of the last surviving Revolutionary pensioner, and the only positively known Revolutionary soldier alive. His name is Daniel Frederic Bateman, now residing in Freedom, Cataraugus county, N. Y., where he has resided for the past sixteen years. Previous to that date he had lived many years in Wyoming county, in the same State. In conformity with the law of the United States, of the 17th of June 1832 aud the special act of February 22, 1862, a pension of $500 a year, payable semi-annualy, and commencing July 1,1854, is paid to the aged veteran. Mr. Bateqjan, is now about 109 years old and makes his mark as signature to the pensjou receipts. May he live long to enjoy the amount awarded by tlie Government for his patriotic services.
We are informed that there is still anothef relic "ot the times that tried men's souls" in the person of an old Revolutionary soldier, upward of 100 years old, now residing in Newbern N. C., but his name is not on the pension roll.

At the main entrance of Campden House her majesty \vas received by the Emperor, Empress and the Prince Imperial, who, with their suite, were awaiting their august visitor. The royal party was then ushered into the chief saloon, where her majesty re inained in conversation with the Imperial family for more than half an hour.

THE Terre Haute GAZETT man, jealous of tho way our druggists, etc., invest in $750 fountains, spitefully says that "if tho soda fountains of Indianapolis were as well patronized as the benzine shops, they could afford $1,500 instead of §750 fountains." On his Grant visit here, that Terre Haute boy manifested no desire to find a soda fountain, to our certain knowledge. Further than that, say not Ave.—

latest style of fans was shown us
at the "Buckeye Cash Store" this morning, and is called "The Heathen Chinee Fan." It is beautifully illustrated on the principle of Bret Harte's famous illustrated Heathen Chinee, and thus it gets its name. A well designed cut of Mr. F. Schuellerman tastefully and beautifully represents "Ah Sin," while "Bill Nye" is well represented in appearance by a lifelike picture of Mr. S. S. Allen, while "Truthful James" was never better represented than by bis illustrious namesake, Mr. W. D. James, of the Buckeye Cash Store. No well regulated family should be without one.
A KIND ACT.—A few days since, a lady teacher in the Sixth Ward, whose home is in Torre Haute, was taken dangerously ill, and not expected to live. Mr. W. H. L. Noblo, one of the school trustees, heard of the case, and went to Major Simpson of the Vandalia Road, requesting a pass for the lady aud a friend over to Terre Haute, which was cheerfully granted. Mr. Noble then requested Mr. Simpson to allow tlie road carpenter to fix a swinging hammock, or some kind of a lounge in the center of the car, which Mr. Simpson at once ordered done. To the next train was attached the car so arranged, and in it the sick lady was transported to her home as easily as though lying on a couch in the house. Such considerate acts of kindness are few and far between, and when they do occur are worthy of recognition.—Indianapolis Journal.
Major Simpson isagenleman noted for acts of kindness and generosity, and the act is but characteristic of that gentleman. We regret to learn that the lady referred to died yesterday in this city. We could not learn her name.

The fort was a wrecK, the casemates broken in, the embrasures demolished, thirty of its sixty guns dismounted, and the ammunition for mitraileuses exhausted. The garrison became panic stricken, the gunners mutinied and spiked half of their remaining guns, and this morning before daylight the entire garrison abandoned it.

"But I'm not." "Indeed!" "Oh, no I'm a bachelor!" The lady quietly removed her veil, disclosing to the astonished magistrate the face of his mother-in-law.
1.—Hon. Sharron Tyn
dale, late Secretary of State of Illinois, was murdered on a public street in Springfield early Saturday morning while on his way from his residence to the depot, to take the train for St. Louis. He was shot probably by a robber. No clue has yet been obtained to the mur. derer, for whose detection a large reward will be offered. Great excitement prevails at Springfield.
May 1.—The following are
further particulars of the murder of Hon. Scharon Tyndale, at Springfield, Illinois: Mr. Tyudale's dead body was found about five o'clock Saturday morning, near Lamb's foundry, and only a few rods from his residence. On Friday night Mr. Tyndale determined upon a visit to St. Louis, aud perhaps to Belleville. He packed a small traveling sack with such articles as he would need, aud placedJn his wallet $50, in addition to a small sum, less than $5, then in his pockets. At the usual hour the family retired, and Mr. Tyndale, after setting an alarm clock so as to wake him at 1 o'clock in the morning, without undressing laid down on a lounge. He intended to take the train whioh passes south on the Chicago & St. Louis Railroad at fifty minutes after one in the morning. Railroad time is fifteen minutes faster than city time, and this gave him thirty-five minutes after the stroke of the alarm clock, to arise, leave the house, and walk the four blocks to the station house. The alarm faithfully performed its office, and at 1 o'clock Mr. T. arose, took his traveling sack, and entered his wife's room. He bade her an affectionate good bye, told her not to disturb herself, and left the house.
This is the last time he was seen alive by any of his friends. When .the body was found there was a shocking bruise on the left forehead and temple, which extended down the ch,eek. On the right side of the back of the head just behind the ear, wga a pistol bullet wound, into which the probe was passed four inches, in a frontward and slightly upward direction, and this wound .was necessarily instantaneously fatal. ...

taken before the Coroner's jury, which was in session all day yesterday, that some unknown parties must have been aware of Mr. Tyndale's intention of taking the morning train South, aud thinking doubtless he would have a large sum of money on his person, determined to possess it, even by a bloody murder, if necessary. Mr. T. was a well built and powerful man, and if attacked, as he doubtless was, he would make a desperate resistance. The murderer or murderers were prepared to do their bloody work effectually, if necessary, and no doubt the struggle was terrible, while it lasted, and the defense^ made by Mr. Tyndale desperate. In this struggle hair was torn from the heads of the combatants, and Mr. Tyndale's collar was rent. At last, while they were still locked in a deadly struggle, the robber or an accomplice, for there may have been more than one robber, placed a pistol close to the head of Mr. Tyndale And fired a single shot, which must have ended the struggle and the victim's life. The robber then rifled the body of the victim, but was frightened by some means' from his prize before he had completed his work. He took the pocket-book afitl seized the fifty dollars, but left some other small sums. He pulled at the gold.,cratch, but this secured by a steel chaii|. The gold spectacles which Mr. Tyftdale constantly wore, and which he had on when struck with the club, as showa by the bend in the left limb, probably .fell to the ground in the struggle, or were knocked off by the blow. These and the traveling siack were left on the ground, when the robber and murderer was obliged to depart.
Mr. Tyndale leaves a wife aud five children, all of whom, eafeept two, are men and women grown.
The Mayor of Springfield has offered $1,000 for the arrest and conviction of tho murderers, and doubtless the reward will be largely increased Mr. Tyndale's friends.
Mr. T. was about fifty-^ve years of age, and was a gentleman of yery considerable scientific attainments. In

The following letter was written by Commissioner Pleasanton, addressed to Supervisor Dutcher, of New Xork "SIR—It appears there is a misunderstanding as to the proper execution of the act of Congress assessing incomes. The following section will govern: Section 11 of the act of Congress of July 14, 1870, only requires every person of lawful age, whose gross income during the preceeding year exceeds two thousand dollars, to make a return to the Assistant Assessor of the District in which he resides. Persons whose incomes are less than two thousand dollars are not required to make returns, nor is there any authority of law to Assessors or Assistant Assessors to call for such returns. In case any Assessor or Assistant Assessor has sufficient evidence that a person who has not made a return on income has defrauded the Government, they then will proceed against such person as prescribed by law.

HAIR VISOR.
AlER'S
A I I O
For tlie Renovation of tlie Hair! Hie (Jreat Desideratum of the Age! A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color and the gloss and 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 oft, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a
IIAIU DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. s-

PRINTING-
INK.
OFFICE OF THE WHIG COMPANY, QDINCY, III., March 23,1871.
AFTERfor
having tested the various printing inks sized and calendered paper, whicii are offered in the market, we have given the preference, over all others, to the quick drying inks manufactured by the Gray sT'erry Printing Ink Works, Philadelphia. When using Patent Roller Composition, in hot weather, we have sometimes found it Impossible to distribute othe»inks, when theOray's Ferry would work to our entire satisfaction. al7dl2w2
