The Council Chamber \vas crowded last evening to its utmost capacity by legions of hungry office-seekers, after the few offices within the gift of the new City Council, who, during the transaction of miscellaneous business by the old Council manifested great impatience. It was evident to the casual observer that they were getting upon what the famous Peter Cartwright would call "anxious seats," superinduced by the probable defeat of their aspirations. Special policeman S im li.md, however preserved order to the entire satisfaction of his friends, and the old Council proceeded to the transaction of

MLSCKLLAXEOl'S IH'SIXKSS. The minutes of the previous meeting were read by ex-Deputy Clerk Tolbert, in a clear, firm voice, after the reading of which were presented and allowed the following:

BILLS.

Then were presented the following KIU'OKTS. Mr. Dowling from the Committee on Finance reported tin- last report of tlie City Treasurer was found to be correct, which report was concurred in. Having published the report, we will not re-pro-duce it at this time.

Mr. .Seeburger, from the Committee on Fees and Salaries reported favorably to the petition of ex-City Attorney B. F. Havens, for an allowance of $100 for extra service. The ayes and nays being called resulted in a tie, and Ilis ex-Fx-cellency gave the casting vote in favor of the allowance, and JJ. F. Havens is one hundred dollars richer thereby, lien, being present smiled a' dibly—and that smile it "was chiid-likeand bland."

Street Commissioner Purdy presented his final, farewell report, showing nearly $200 due from sundry persons on sewarage accounts.

J. D. lieil, ex-Chief of the Fire Department, petitioned tire Council for further time in which to make his report, because of the faiiure of insurance men to make the reports to liiin of losses sustained by fire. He was granted until next meeting in which to make his report.

There were presented the following RESOLUTIONS. Mr. Hager offered a resolution to the ellect that ex-Mayor Cookerly and exCity Clerk Daniel L. Vickery, be allowed tlie sum of $I2J each, to be paid out of the City Treasury, for services rendered in signing railroad bonds, "rising to explain" that it was only justice to them that they receive such a recognition of the very laborious duty of signing a large number of bonds, etc. The resolution was unanimously concurred in.

By the same That this Council can not separate without placing upon its records this testimony as the ability and integrity with which Mayor Cookerly, as presiding officer, has conducted its business. His decisions have been characterized by fairness, and liis zeal in the discharge of his duties met with the entire approbation of this Council. Concurred in. liy Mr. Dowling: That the thanks of this Council are due and are hereby tendered to Daniel L. Vickery and John B. Tolbert, the City Clerk and his Deputy, for their promptness and accuracy in the discharge of their duty, and that the members present wish them abundant success in all their future pursuits. Concurred in.

His ex-Excellency, Grafton F. Cookerly, then arose anil in a voice clear and full at first, but towards the close a little faltering, delivered the following farewell address to the Council and the people of this city

KX-MAYOII POOKKHLY'S VALEDICTOKV. GKNTIJHMKN or TIIK COUNCIL The time has arrived when,by the operation of l.iw, your body must adjour sine die and when I must surrender up my position in accordance with the will of the people. 1 cannot refrain, gentlemen, and I do it with pleasure, from expressing to you individually and collectively my heartfelt thanks for the many acts of kindness you have bestowed upon nie during our official intercourse neither can I let this occasion pass, without bearing testimony to vour iidelity and efficiency in tiie discharge of the duties incident to your positions. I am well satisfied that each and everv one of you h«vvo been dictated alone by

the

desire to advance the public inter­

est, aud promote the prosperity ot our rapidly growing city. 1 am well aware that your labors have been arduous and involving groat responsibiln^, but, being equal to the emergency, you have had the manhood and ability to perform the one and encounter the other energetically and fearlessly.

You have made a record of which you may well bo proud and which will stand as a monument to your capacity, fidelity and honor as guardians of the peoples' welfare and the various interests of the city. Having said this much, gentlemen, permit me to say of uiyself, that, as the executive and judicial officer combined of this city, I have tried to discharge my duty within the law, at all times and under all" circumstances if I have erred, and I can not doubt I have, for "to err is human," it has not been from any intention to do wrong, but the result'of a mistaken judgment.

That I take great pride in the rapid growth and development of th« city, I presume all will acknowledge. In common with you, gentlemen, I have labored to promote the general prosperity and to foster and encourage every enterprise calculated to bring wealth, honor and prosperity to our beloved city. [Applause.]

Our Free Schools, which we jail love and appreciate so highly, and which stand today unrivalled in the land, have ever received my official support. As the exo--cutive and presiding officer of this Council, I have never failed, when necessary, to my v?te aad influence to promote the

progress and efficiency of our schools. As in my official capacity I have been a fast and firm .friend, so I shall be as a citizen, in the future, and take occasion here to say, that should an effort ever be made to divert the school fund, or any part of it, from its legitimate channels, no matter from what quarter, nor by whom, shall oppose it to the bitter end. [Applause.] I trust and believe that no serious effort will ever be made, looking to a division of the school fund, by any sect or party. By tho Constitution of the State uo such tiling could ever be done, and I am quite confident that no change touching this matter will ever be made in that instrument.

The sentiment of tho people is too firmly fixed in favor of tho system as it is, and any attempt to change it would be met with scorn and indignation by them.

Our schools constitute our true glory, and I call upon thepeepleof Terre Haute to stand by them if every other interest should perish, preserve, at evory hazard, your schools, where the infant and the youth can go and learn lessons of virtue, morality and wisdom.

Perish he who would raise his sacriligious hand against them. [Applause.] The school fund exists, houses have been erected, competent teachers employed, and the doors thrown open to all who desire to, receive the benefits flowing therefrom. They who refuse to enter and enjoy them loses an opportunity to lay the foundation for future usefulness. It is useless for me to attempt a recital of tlie blessings conferred through the influence of our public schools, as they can readily be seen auu appreciated by all. No argument is essential to recommend them. The system originated in the grand conception of master minds, and was firmly established by wisdom and patriotism.

As presiding officer of your body, I believe I can say, without being charged with egotism, that I have been prompt in the discharge of my duty, and am satisfied that 1 have been entirely impartial. I have been courteous to all, and now part with 3'ou entertaining toward each one the highest regard and kindest of feelings. I shall ever remember our intercourse with the liveliest emotions of pleasure and gratitude.

To tho pcope, among whom I have lived so long, I tendertiiv grateful acknowledgments lor their kindness toward me in the past. In after life I shall revert back to my connection with the affairs of the city, as constituting the happiest period of my life. I need not assure them that I am proud of our city and delight in its growth and prosperity. As I have been in the past, so I will be in the future. 1 shall, so long as life lasts, rejoice in her a ivancement, and do all I can as a private citizen to further her progress. We have everything to en courage, us in our onward career. Our railroad facilities, coal and manufacturing interests are increasing and developing all the time, and I confidently cherish the hopo that at no distant day this beautifully located city will outrank any in the State. [Applause.]

Let enterprise be encouraged, capital invited, and the people united for the common trood, and all will be well. That suoh may be the case I fondly hope. Whatever may be our di lie renews about religion or politics,or whatever may be our condition in life, let us all stand by, and be for Terre Haute.

Gentlemen, lam happy to know that to those who succeed us, we deliver up the city in a healthy and good condition, both financially and morally. It is my judgment that no city in the State, near tho same number of people, can show so good a record. While some ot our people have complained of high taxation, 3'et I believe it to be true, that the taxes here have been less than any other place approximating anywhere near us in point of population. I refer to this to demonstrate the tact, that the city government has been administered with prudence and economy. Of the nflloortt with wliom I haro boon wooooi«»toJ for tho past two years, I must be permitted to say, that they have discharged their duty well, and I tender them my sincere thanks for the same.

Now, gentlemen, wishing you all prosperity in the future, and hoping that the blessing of God may attend you, I declare this Council adjourned sine die, and bid you all lurewell. [Applause.]

The above remarks were listened to with the closest attention throughout. His ex-Excellency then called the officers elect to the places vacated by the retiring ones, and introduced the Hon. Alexander Thomas, Mayor-elect for the ensuing two years, when "Alec the Horny Handed" made his debut as Mayor of this great city. Ou taking the chair he delivered himself of fhe following address, in a rapid and at fiAt tremulous tone of voice:

INAUOERATJ OF THE HORNY HANDED. GENTIiKMJSN OF THE COMMON COUNCIL: Before entering upon the duties of th« various offices that we have been each elected to fill, I dosire to say that honored as we have been by the voters of this city, .•mil entrusted with the responsibilities of our several offices, we should all strive, by careful and complete discharge of duty, to merit the public trust, and justify the confidence reposed in us by our fellowcitizens.

For myself I shall endeavor to discharge the various duties incumbent on me to the best of my ability, aud will most heartily join you in all things appertaining to the happiness, prosperity aud general welfare of our beautiful city.

While it is a duty'of the Mayor to exercise a supervision over subordinate officers, those who have been elected with me by the voice of the people, have the same accountability that the Mayor has, aud will doubtless discharge the duties of their seveal offices with fidelity, and will act in accord with each other for the general good of all.

There are several offices it will be incumbent on you to fill. In the discharge of this important duty, care should be taken in the selection of such persona only, as will cheerfully and faitlifullv perform every duty belonging to their respective stations, shrinking from none, and who will fully co-operate with you in striving to make our administration of municipal affairs acceptable to our fellow citizens. Personal favoritism should be eschewed, and fitness for the position shouldbe the only recommendation required. [Applause.]

These is due to the tax-payers, from the Committee on Finance, careful attention to the public money, and that frequent reports bo made to the Council and through the Council to the public, that the people may at all times be advised of the manner in which their means are handled and cared for.

The Committee on Streets and Bridges should give careful attention to all things coming within their control, and make proper estimates of all work required to bo done, that the public money may be expended in the most economical manner. [Applause.]

The Fire Department will claim more of your attention than almost any other Department of the City Government, the efficiency of which may iuduee our citizens to invest large sums in the improvement of our city, wheu, upon the contrary, if we have an inefficient Fire Department, the Chief incompetent, and his subordinates inattentive to or, regardless of, the great responsibilities resting on them, many thousands, and even millions of our property may be swept away by the devouring flames in a few hours. Therefore, the citizens will be justified in claiming from t^e Fire Committee, frequent reports of the effi«iency, economical inanaggment, and general usefulness of this Department, and that none but sober men have employment or control about said Department.

Whiie our very excellent City* Schools are not immediately under your supervision, it is desirable that you co-porate cheerfully with the School Trustees in the laudable discharge of their important duties.

While I believe we have all accepted our positions with the intention of honestly and faithfully discharging the respective

ii**sr.-- ":-J-

t- v. i,

duties incumbent on us, I also hope our zeal will continue with us to the end, and, when the time shall come for us to surrender our trust to our successors, that our fellow-citteens can say, "well done." [Applause.]

He then appointed the following STANDING COMMITTEES: Finances—J. B. Hager, C. R. Peddle and William Coats.

Editor of Terre Haute Gazette: The friends of Mrs. Annie B. Campbell, and the friends generally of the "woman's cause," will be glad no doubt to learn that her effort at Perrysville, Ind., was decidedly a success. Her appointment drew as large an audience as has gathered in Perrysville for many a day, aud her lecture was listened to with profound respect and interest by even the strongest opposers of the cause, and was warmly commended by those in sympathy with her. She makes a good plea for her sex she uses facts for arguments, and plenty of them. J. C.

State Normal Conservatory of

Music bids fair to be a success in this city. Messrs. Kilbourne & Paige are meeting with very encouraging success in their most worthy enterprise, and we have high hopes that they will succeed for it is an enterprise well worthy the serious attention aud liberal patronage of all our citizens. Let the gentlemen having the matter in charge be encouraged by your patronage.

The Commune has ordered that religious instruction cease, and that all crucifixes and madonna^ be removed from the schools.

Delescluse reports to the Commune that the ramparts are sufficiently guarded to prevent a surprise.

The Siecle says a vast Bonapartist organization exists throughout France. LONDON, May 12.—The Standard of this evening has a dispatch asserting that the Communists forces are only twelve thousand strong, and that the Versailles army could go into Paris to-day if they would.

BERLIN, May 12.—Emperor William is slightly indisposed. In the German Parliament, to-day, Bismarck gave the particulars of his recent visit to Frankfort, to confer with Favre and Ponyer Quertier. He said that if the object sought had not been accomplished the Germans would have taken possession of Paris, and demanded the withdrawal of the Versailles forces behind the Loire. The treaty which was concluded hastens the payment ovf the indemnity of Germany. Half a milliard of it is to be paid by France thirty days after -the entry of the Versailles army into Paris, and a milliard more before the end of December of the present year. Then ouly will the Germans evacuate the Paris forts.

As to the abrogation of the commercial treaty, Bismarck stated that the withdrawal of France from the maintainance of that instrument was mainly for the purpose, and in the hope of the receipt of increased custom duties, with which to liquidate her indebtedness. The ratifications of the treaty are to be exchanged on the 20th instant.

LONDON, May 12—Sir John Frederick William Herschel, only son of the great astronomer, and himself an astronomer of world-wide repute, died this morning at the age of seventy-three.

NEW YORK, May 13.—On the 25th of April an article appeared in the Sun charging Victor Place, French Consul, with .defrauding the French Government, and alleging H. Chanviteau his accomplice. Place has already published a reply. Chanviteau, through the Consul, has begun a libel suit for $10,000 damages. Papers were served on Charles A. Dana yesterday.

The general term of the Supreme Court of the Fourth District has, in the case of the People vs. the Albany & Susquehana Railroad, reversed the decision of Judge E. D. Smith,- rendered December 1S69. That decision adjudged the Ramsey Board of Directors 11 uly elected, and that suits brought by the anti-Ramsey party were fraudulent, and must be enjoiued declaring, also, that 9,500 shares of stock subscribed for by Ramsey and his associates, at only 10 per cent., paid up, and 30,000 shares of forfeited stock, re-issued at 25 per cent., were valid, and awarding cost and allowances against the antiRamsey party—the allowance being $92,008. All this has been reversed, except the clause declaring the Ramsey Board elected, which is deemed of no moment, as an entirely new Board was elected in 1870.

May 12.—The Committee of

Public Safety has issued a proclamation to the people, which says the republic and the Commune have escaped a mortal peril. Treason had penetrated our ranks and bribes had been distributed.

A young man by the name of Lord, eighteen years of age, lived with Thos. H. Yancey. Mr. Yancey Thursday night whipped his wife, and Lord interfered and Yancey abused Lord in a shameful manner, after which Lord took his clothes and went to

the house of Mr. Walton, who is the prominent man of the place. Yesterday morning, as Lord was going to Walton's house for his dinuer, Yancey met him on the railroad and commenced cursing and abusing him. He then drew aloogbladed knife from his pocket and stabbed Lord three times in the stom&ch and breast, killing him instantly.

Yancey tried to escepe, but was caught and taken to Noblesville where he is now in jail. He is a desperate man, and the full penalty of the law shouldbe vindicated.

Lord was a fine, good-looking young man. Great excitement prevails. ERIE, PA.,

The VINEGAK which I manufacture from cider and distilled spirits is entirely PURE, and FREE FROM ALL MINERAL, ACID8 OR OTHER POISONOUS INGREDIENTS BO FREQUENTLY USED IN ITS MANUFACTURE. It is both clear and of beautiful color, and mad« from the best and most wholesome material. I warrant it to keep pickles both clear and fresh for years, thus making their consumption not only agreeable, but healthy.

Owing to the popularity and increasing demand for my Vinegar, I shall hereafter, for the better protection of myself and my trade. In addition to my well-known brands, use also a "TRADE MARK," and all persons are hereby cautioned against using the same, and I shall prosecute any and all panics so doing to the full extent of the law. Country merchant* can ob. tain my brands of

Pure Cider, White Wine, Double and Triple Yinegar,

Of any of the wnoiesaieurofleraort.no cny. Having been established but comparatively a short time, I yet have, by the manutacture of a superior article, created a demand which has warranted me in the erection of the largest works of its kind to he found in the United States, aud having the same now thoroughly systematized, I ain enabled not only to glre a better and purer, but also a cheaper article to the public than any other known manufacturer. Price list furnished on appllaatlon.
