Enthusiasm, etc.,
etc. Yesterday was a (Lu'c'long to be remembered by about thirty of our citizens and about one hundred citizens of Indianapolis and by all the editors of the Indiana .State Editorial Association, who were so fortunate as to be in attendance upon the gi'and excursion to and exploration of the rich and inexhaustible coal mines of Clay county, and enjoy the kind and generous hospitality of that most hospitable little city of Brazil. (May its shadow never grow less.)
The excursion referred to, was gotten up by the Indiana State Editorial Association, which had been in session a couple of days in Indianapolis, but receiving a kind invitation from the managers and stockholders of the various iron manufacturing and coal mining interests of Clay county, to make a visit thereat, and through the courtesy of the management of that most excellent railroad, toe Yandalia Short Line, placing special cars at their disposal, an excursion was hastily planned, which for the hasty manner in which it was gotten ui was the grandest .success of any excursion ever planned and carried out in Indiana. The Association attended almost in a body while many invited guests from both Indianapolis, Terre Haute and intermediate stations were present and had the matter not been so hurriedly planned, there would have been many more in attendance, from this city at least. I'pon invitation of the Association, the members of the press and about thirty ladies and gentlemen of this city availed themselves of the kind courtesy of the officers of the T. II. & I. road, who placed an elegant and beautiful new car at their disposal, to join the Indianapolis party at Brazil, and proceed to witness the "sights" to he seen about blast furnaces and coal mines. •jirETitri'.
Accordingly, President McKeen, of the •Yandalia Railroad, PresidentCollett, of the H., T. H. A C. Bail road and President Ingle, of the E. C. Railroad, and quite a number of distinguished gentlemen of this city accompanied by ladies representatives of the GAZETTE, EXPRESS and Mail, were promptly on hand at the Union depot at half-past nine A. M., and soon all parties were comfortably seated in the magnificent "special," when the shrill whistle of the locomotive announced that the time had arrived for leaving the depot, and away we sped as if borne on "the wings of the wind," over and through the beautifully green
fields
of Yigo and Clay counties and son bringing up at the platforn at Brazil, where our gay party was joined by members of the Committee of Reception, the Brazil Brass Band, and quite a num
ber
of citizens of that place, when all proceeded to Knightstown, the band enlivening the occasion meanwhile by discoursing home of their sweetest strains. At Knightstown our party was joined by the excursionists from Indianapolis, con
of the Editorial Association and
representatives of the Indianapolis press, and quite a number of distinguished citizens of that place, including many ladies, to the amount of one hundred or upwards, in the elegant coaches of the Yandalia Line.
Here the excursion alighted from the train, and headed by the band, marched in a body to

We omitted to state in the above connection, that in and about the mines, and occupied in running the various furnaces and mills of the company, over five hundred men are daily employed, who make from £."» to $0 per day, "each, and that this company represents several millions of dollars, and that the interests of the company are allied with that of a vast system of rolling mills, located at Cleveland, Chicago, Decatur,
Ills., and other places, and that the whole business is carried on in so judicious a manner as to advance the interests of all parties interested in either or botlv.
After so much of the "free lunch" had been disposed of as the hungry excursionists could "get away with," the party returned to the special train which was awaiting their arrival, aud which conveyed them around the "horse shoe" lead curve, a branch of the

As the "river of lire" proceeded from the furnace down into the "moulds," the sparkling liquid emitting spitefnl sparks, many were the exclamations of astonishment that involuntarily escaped from the lips of the uninitiated. It is by this process that "pig iron" is made. The caicity of this furnace is thirty-two tons per day, and that of the one near by, but belonging to the same company, is thirty-five tons, both being operated night and day. To say that it is warm in the vicinity of the furnace when a "run" is being made, is not at all expressive, and a "run of oie" invariably results in a run of the spectators. Yesterday, the run was made in the direction of the •nice, where a splendid "lunch" was prepared, and which, had it not been inexhaustible, would most assuredly have been wholly demolished.

tors of Indiana and Illinois—may they live long and prosper," to which Mr. Jessie Harper, of Danville, Ills., responded, complimenting and lauding in nigh, and we insist just terms, the ladies of Brazil for the manner in which all partien were entertained.
Loud and long repeated calls were then made for Prof. Cox, State Geologist, who was prevailed upon to respond.
REMARKS OF PROF. COX.
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN The gentleman from Illinois, (Mr. Harper), hss doubtless said all that could be said of the mineral wealth and importance of Clay county, but it may be interesting to some of you to have a little definite knowledge of the character of this wealth. I can boldly say that we have in Indiana to-day the richest and most valuable deposits ot coal In the United States, and I am not certain but that I may make the remark applicable to the world. [Applause.]
There are vast deposits throughout this county, and I will mention some of the different qualities before I close my remarks
When I commenced my geological survey scarcely two years ago,and started out from Brazil, there were but three of four mines in operation in this part of the country, and not more than three or four hundred tons of block coal were mined per diem. At that time Indiana was generally looked upon as one of the least important States in the Union in a mineral and minery point of view. It was understood that she possessed an abundance of coal, but the quality was thought to be poor and of but little account for manufacturing purposes.
At this place there were a few who appreciated the block coal, and were aware of its use for making iron in the blastfurnace but even they were far from appreciating its full value as a fuel, or its bearing upon the future prosperity of the State. On my first visit to this block coal district, I was satisfied of the superior quality of the coal," for not only manufacturing purposes, but for all the other uses to which c,al is put, ex.
construction, giving one the impression cept the manufacture of gas. Now the that they were constructed with the idea mines on the T. H. & V. & St. L. R. that the coal mines to which they leadjR. and its branches alone number as are inexhaustible, and that a road to b*, many as twenty-six, owned by nineteen built leading to them, should be made companies, having a capital amounting with a view of being perpetual. LTpou|to over, or not less than $500,000, and the "special" reaching its first destination after leaving the blast furnace the excursionists proceeded in a body to
the bowels of the earth by motive power ing almo-t a in the shape of diminutive donkeys, coals contain attached to coal cars, which were kindly provided with temporary seats. The''engines" were attached to the "special trains" of about three cars each and about six persons in each car, many of them ladies, armed with opera glasses, in
search of specimens, and

as it is but seldom the good fortune of even editors to enjoy. The tables were literally crushing beneath the weight of "good things" thereon, and which presented a most elegant and beautiful spectacle to the eye, as will as being most gratifying and satisfying to the appetite. The excursionists were welcomed by the Rev. S. D. Taggert, of Brazil in a few well chosen, highly appreciated and warmly applauded words, and which was responded to equally, satisfactorily, aptly and happily by Mr. D. E. Caldwell, President of the Editorial Association of Indiana. After the evoking of the Grace of God by Rev. Nelson Green, of Brazil, the hungry assembly did all in their capacity to clear the table, but impossible. As fast as they made a breach in the supply with which the tables were loaded, the place was fulled up bj' the ever present aud attentive ladies. At the close of this pleasant pastime and solemn duty, Mr. E. W. Halford, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Editorial Association, moved a vote of thanks be extended to the ladies and gentleman of Brazil and the officers and managers of the Yandalia Line for courtesies extended, and that the convention adjourn sine die, which motions were duly seconded and adopted amidst general applause.
of spring adorning their "perfect loves t.iin coke and gas for illuminating purof hats," but which roses were soon exchanged for other ornaments known by miners as "head lights" or small lamps, an article with which each employe of the mine places in front of his cap when in the mine. The party proceeded back into the bowels of the earth about half a mile on the main track and returned in abont half an hour, as they had gone in "ducking down" their heads at the warning of the miners as a low place would be neared, which would be every few minutes. What a sight the beautiful sunshine revealed upon the advent of that company, "displayed" shoulders and backs, crushed "plugs" died clothes, crushed and mangled roses, and to add to the awful situation, the train had left and the whole party were obliged to walk about half a mile to the Masten mines, where after a short rest, much needed, the party gladly took refuge from the burning rays of the sun, in the elegant coaches of the Yandalia line, when the train was soon once more under way and "brought up" at the mines of Morrison, Garliek & Co., to the south of Brazil. After due inspection of this mine, the party again entered the cars and were soon at the depot at Brazil, where they landed, and headed by the brass band of that, city, they proceeded to Turner's Hall, where there was prepared for them such
now at this season of the year when the demand for coal is unusually slack, they are raising about tons of coal daily. From a village Brazil has grown to the magnitude and importance of a city. [Applause.] In this I made no estimate of the capital invested in the blast furnaces, of which there are five in the county.
There are several varieties of coal. The Anthracite is characterized by he-
wre carbon. Bituminous in connection with their
carbon a lare amount of gaseous matter, and may be divided into three varieties: 1st. Bituminous coking coai, such as melt and run together when burning, of which the Pittsburg coal may be cited as
a type that it is familiar to all,
It
from this character of coal that we ob-
poses. [Exibiting specimen.] 2d. Bituminous non-coking coals, of which the block coal of Clay county is a type.
This coal does not coke and run together when burning, but makes an open fire, and burns like hickory wood, until consumed to a small quantity of white ashes. Hence comes its great value as a fuel for making iron. There are but La:-e localities known to me in which this character of coal is found. A small district in Western Pennsylvania, another in Eastern Ohio, aud the third in Southwestern Indiana. The two former districts are now nearly exhausted, and and I have no hesitation in saying that we have to-day the most valuable field of iron-smelting coal in the United States, and may say in the world. Here is a sample of pig iron made with Indiana block coal, [exhibiting specimen] from the Carondelet furnace in Missouri. An experienced iron master will tell you at once that this is an article of a No. 1 foundry iron. No better can be made, ami 1 am satisfied that our block coal will make a quality of iron equal to charcoal iron, which is the highest praise it can have. Though I appreciate the knowledge and skill of our iron masters, yet I am confident they are but just beginning to learn how to use the Indiana block coal in smelting iron. It has its peculiarities and is in a measure anew mineral with which they are dealing, and I look forward to the time when the yield of iron will be much greater than it now is from a given quantity of fuel
The third variety of bituminous coal is called cannel. This is a hard, compact, and highly gaseous coal. Now I not only contend for the superiority of the block or non-coking coal, for manufacturing purposes, but likewise as a fuel for general purposes. For raising steam under boilers, and for household use, it is, in point of economy, superior to the coking coals, and for locomotives it has no equal. It has but little action on the boilers or fire boxes, owing to the freedom from sulphur, and it forms no clinkers.
The learned Professor, in comparing Clay county coal with the famous B/ier Hill coal, said that he was decidedly of the opinion that the former is fully up to the standard of the latter, which was as good a recommendation as he could give it. [Applause.] He further stated that in the manufacture pf pig iron, Clay county coal was decidedly superior to the Brier Hill coal, and that he was willing to stake his reputation upon his opinion. [Great applause.]
The Professor then went on to show the bad policy of patronizing the Eastern coal companies and paying the additional expense of transportation and then not getting as good an article as can be had near home, to say nothing of the advantages of patronizing home institutions and home industry.
Block coal, he said, was superior to Pittsburg coal and he would stake his reputation upon that assertion also. [Applauded.]
After a few further remarks the Professor closed by saying that he believed he had said eveything necessary in regard to the importance of the coal fields of Clay county, and thanking the ladies and gentlemen present for their kind attention, during what he characterized as his rambling discourse, he closed his remarks. [Cheers.]
BAYLESS IIANNA MOUNTS A CHAIR. In response to loud and repeated calls the Hon. Bayless W. Hanna then mounted a chair, but excused himself from making any extended remarks because of want of time, and compromised with those present by telling them apart of the story of a panoramic showman and his musician, eliciting many hearty outbursts of applause, as is his custom when headdresses a meeting upon such an occasion.
The party repaired to the d?pot to await the starting in of the train for home.

EXECUTIVE SESSION OF THE SENATE.
No. per day. WASHINGTON, May 19. The Senate met at ten O'CIOCK, not more than twenty-four members being psesent. At the opening of the proceedings, Mr. Harlan remarked that it appeared from the decisions of yesterday and day before that certain advance copies of what purported to be the treaty of Washington, were communicated to members of the Senate before the official document was communicated to this body on the 10th inst. The Yice President reminded the Senator that the Senate had not yet promulgated the fact that any such treaty had been communii?» 2.500! cated to the Senate. Harlan begged
sion an official copy of the treaty Mr. Harlan remarked that it had been stated in debate that certain papers had been privately communicated to a limited number to Senators that the text of these papers was similar to the papers printed in the confidence of the Senate It was also stated that the Assistant Secretary of State had informed the select committee of the exact number of copies the printed by the Department of State, and was able to account for the disposition of each of them. It was also said by member of the committee of investigation that if they were permitted to proceed in the line they had adopted, the disclosure of the document would be traced to a certain member of the Senate. He supposed every one knew that the Committee on Foreign Relations are on confidental terms with the State De partment, and that if any Senators had copies the members of that Committee were furnished with them. They all concurred with him in the opinion that it would be proper to call each Senator, who was supposed to have had an advanced copy of the paper, that he might be examined before the Committee. He made that suggestion in order to relieve the delicacy of any Senator in the matter. Member of that Committee, as far as he had conferred with them, regarded this as a thing proper to be done.
Mr. Morrill, of Maine, suggested that I there were several other copies furnished outside of those placed in the hands of members of the Committee on Foreign
Relations, and therefore the examination should extend to all Senators who had obtained advance copies.
Several voices—"Certainly that should be done." Mr. Fenton said—I am glad my friend from Iowa, Mr. Harlan, has made the request that those Senators who were furnished advance copies of the Treaty of Washington should be examined by the Investigating Committee, with a view to their vindication, as it affords one an opportunity to make, and suggest for myself and, so far as I have a right, for others, that every member of the Senate may appear before this Committee for the same purpose. I read from the Patriot, of this city in an article referring to the investigation, as follows: "Dnriug the last two days Carpenter and Conkling have been bold in declaring that if the Senate would insist upon its rights, and exert its authority, the committee would fasten its responsibility upon a Senator and they have not hesitated, in a semi-pub-lic manner almost, to point to Mr. Fenton, saying, in the language of Nathan to David, 'Thou art the man.'" If the Senator from New York or the Senator from Wisconsin were present, I should ask them to state to the Senators whether, in an official, semi-official, or any other manner, they had made statements or insinuations that would warrant such publication. But although they are out of their seats at this moment, I can not allow this occasion to pass without saying a word. I will simply state facts. I arrived here on Wednesday, the 10th inst. I was not favored with an advance copy of the treaty, nor did I have or see an advance copy of the treaty, nor did I have or see an advance copy or any other copy, except as it was read at the
Secretary's desk,
until Thursday afternoon about three o'clock, when a Senate copy was placed in my hands—full ten hours after it appeared in the Tribune. Therefore the thought that I had any knowledge of the disclosure would have been entirely unwarrantable by the circumstances, and the most unkind insinuation without the least shadow justified suspiciously that I had any thing to do with it, would have been as cowardly and as base. The positive charge would have been no less infamous than wanton and ridiculous. I am free to say that I shall not thus characterize the matter. Had it not come to me from other sources than the Patriot, which an attempt had been made to connect, in some way, with this transaction. In conclusion, I beg leave to ask that every Senator have an opportunity to appear before the committee and vindicate himself under such forms and solemnities as the committee may prescribe.
Mr. Harlan moved that the Senate proceed to the consideration of executive business.
Mr. Morton said he desired to make a statement. He had been informed of an attempt to connect his name with a violation of the ob ration of secrecy.
Mr. Trumbull said he was sorry that the chairman of the investigating committee was not present, but as a member of that committee he desired to say that, so far as the examination had proceeded, there was no information from any source pointing to or indicating that any Senator had furnished a copy of the treaty. No one had said or intimated before the committee that either the Senator from New York or the Senator from Indiana, or any other Senator, had given to any outsider a copy of the treaty.
Mr Sumner, as a member of the select committee, confirmed Mr. Trumbull's statement.
a
Mr. Morton remarked that the Senator from Wisconsin (Caipenter) chairman of the committee, had stated, in the most pointed and significant manner, that objection had been made to the examination apparently from fear of exposure, and that if it were allowed to go on, some Senator would certainly be implic^tod
Mr. Trumbull replied that nothing of the kind appeared before the committee. Mr. Morton resumed, saying that one Senator intimated that a copy of the commission was procured from him (Morton). As he, at the proper time, would be prepared to make a full showin"' he contented himself by saying that the' intimation was an atrocious and cowardly falsehood. There was not a circumstance of which he had any knowledge that could sustain it. It was made out 01 whole cloth.
The Vice President remarked that the Senator was not now in his seat. Mr. Morton said he did not intimate that the Senator originated the story: it had been told to him, aud he hoped that all the Senators would be questioned before the committee, when he could make a full statement, as he desired to do so.
Mr. Sumner said there was no testimony before the committee in the remotest degree sustaining such an allegation. ... ., ... .».
Mr. Wilson remarked that he "saw in the Chronicle a statement to the effect that an advance copy of the treaty was placed in his honds. He wished merely to say that he had not been furnished with an advance copy. He received a copy 011 Thursday, the day after the treaty was transmitted, in the afternoon. At the same time copies were delivered I to other Senator. I
Mr. Edmunds said that this scene illustrated the propriety of continuing the examination of witnesses until they tell the truth. If the witnesses tell the truth then they would all know where the treaty came from, and the Senators would be' exonerated or not, as the case might be. They would never know 1 the truth until somebodv was obliged to itell.
Mr. Morton remarked that the suspicion was directed against him. O11 this floor he was not to be driven from doing what was right because of an intimation from a Senator.
Mr. Edmunds thought he had heard iutimations in a good many quarters, referring to more than one Senator.
Tlie Senate then went into Executive session 011 the treaty.

TO THE TRADE.
In returning my thanks to the trade for their liberal patronage in the past, and soliciting a continuance of the same, I beg leave to state that, having made extensive addition to my works, and increased facilities, I am now prepared to fill orders with promptness and dispatch.
The VINEGAR which I manufacture from cider anddistilled spirits is entirely PURE, and FREE FROM ALL MINERAL ACIDS OR OTHER POISONOUS INGREDIENTS SO FREQUENTLY USED IN ITS MANUFACTURE. It is both clear and of beautiful color, and made from the be*t 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 parties so doing to the full extentof the law. Country merchants can obtain my brands of
Pure Cider, White Wine, Double and Triple Vinegar,
Of any of the Wholesale Grocers of the city. Having been established but comparatively a short time, I yet have, by the manufacture of a superior article, created a demand which has warranted me in the erection of the largest works of its kind to be found in the United States, and having the samS now thoroughly systematized, I am enabled not only to give a better and purer, but also a cheaper article to the public than any other known manufacturer.
