TUESDAY, JUNE 20,1871.

The Express and Disfranchisement—The Little Fellow Tried. The editor of the Express, has been, for many days, writing to distinguished men all over the country to learn from tliem what is the Jaw of Congresss in relation to the political status of many of the Southern men. He seems to be terribly muddled in relation to this matter, hut evidently labors under the pleasing idea that he has made a grand discovery, one that will startle all the world and "the rest of mankind."

A great many years ago, some one desiring to enter into a controversy with Voltaire, challenged him to anargument. The great Frenchman, before he commenced his desputation, asked his opponent to please "define his position." We have waited from day to day to have the editor of the Express define the position ho has been so eagerly discussing. At the conclusion of the discussion, instead at the beginning, he, this morning, does define the question he has been arguing, and here it is: "It will be remembered that this discussion had its origin in an attempt on the partofsomo Democratic journals to impose upon their readers the lalso and utterly groundless statement that large numbers of the Southern people were disfranchised by acts of Congress."

The editor does not say that the GAZETTE has endeavored to "impose upon its readers the utterly groundless statement that large numbers of the Southern people were disfranchised by acts of Congress," but that is what he means. If he was not afraid of having a hole punched through his editorial hide, he would speak out as he meant, but he prefers to insinutate what he trembles to openly avow.

Now the difficulty with the lear#ed editor of the Express is, that he does not understand the meaning of the word "disfranchsied." He is laboring under the impression that "disfranchisement" and "suffrage" are one and the same thing. He states the question at issue to be, that the Democratic journals assert, "that large numbers of the Southern people are "disfranchised" by acts of Congress. Does the editor deny tills What is disfranchisement? To be deprived of the rights and privileges of a free citizen. Are there not "large numbers of Southern people" "deprived of the privileges of a free citizens" by acts of Congress. If the editor of the Express will now look back to the letter he received from Senator Morton, and really all the others, he will find it is there admitted, that the "political disabilities arising under the Constitution or the law of the United States, is the ineligibility to hold office." Well, if an American citizen is rendered ineligible to hold office, is he not disfranchised And although he might still be permitted to vote, yet, in the language of the statute of this State, he would be "disfranchised and rendered incapable of holding any office of trust or profit."

A few days ago the following paragraph appeared in the Madison Courier: The Torre Ilaute Express has received a note from the lion. T. A. Ilendrick—in reply to an inquiry addressed to liim—conlirtning the statement that not a singlo rebel is disfranchised by any act of Congress or constitutional amendment. That breaks the "amnesty" plank of tho Democracy into small pieces.

We then replied to this as follows: "Wedo not bolievo Thomas A. Hondricks was ever foolish enough to write any such a note. That the editor of tho Express should believe such a thing is highly probable, but no one having the reputation that Mr. Hendricks has for sound sense and learning could entertain such an idea for one moment."

The editor of the Express bristled at once like a fretted porcupine, and sent the following note to Hon. T. A. Hendricks

TERRE HAUTE, May 16,1871.

Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks MY DEAR SIR: Will you bo so kind as to inform me whether or not there are any of tho late rebels now excluded from the ballot, or "right of suffrage" by any act of the Goneral Government? and greatly oblige

Your ob't servant, C. H. ALLEN. Mr. Hendricks returned the above note with this indorsement thereon

I think not any. The exclusion from the ballot arc under State Lonstitulions and laws. Under tho Fourteenth Constitutional amendment many are excluded from ollice. I canuot now possibly examine the question, but believe the above to be correct.

Yours, T. A. HENDRICKS.

Bear in mind that the editor of the Express states the proposition under discussion, that some Democratic journals have declared that "large numbers of Southern people arc disfranchised by acts of Congress." What has that to do with the isolated "right of suffrage." Mr. Hendricks states the case just right, when he says, "the exclusion from the ballot are under State Constitutions and ws." "Under the 14th Constitutional u-ndmeut, manyare^x^'aded from •ling office.'2- i5ltj

ever

occur to the

.tor of Express that these excluded —m holding office, are disfranchised just as eflectuaily as though they were at the same time excluded from the "right of suffrage?" Senator Morton, in his note to the editor, makes this point plain, for he says these men are disfranchised "under the Constitution and laws oj the V,titled Slates."

Suffrage is defined to be: "A vote a voice given in deciding a controverted question, or in the choice of a man for office,or trust." Then, according to the Very evidence the editor of the Express has been so industrious in procuring, it is clear that the "right to vote"

has been taken away from many of the

Southern people by laws of their legislatures, but they have been "disfranchised" by the Federal Constitution and "the laws of the United States." Is not the fact then, "attempted to be proven by Democratic journals," that "large numbers of Southern people are disfranchised by acts of Congress, shown conclusively to be true? We think so, and would advise tho editor of the Express, before he again commences so extensive a correspondence, to be able to sufficiently understand what he is writing about to "define his position,'' so that it can be understood by the intelligent gentlemen with whom he corresponds.

THE Journal's wrath against the forward movement, which the Democratic party has taken, increases as we approach the dog days. This morning the editor declares there are not seven Democrats in this city in favor of it, and banters us to get a list of seven, if we can. Wc will publish such a list if fur nished us by apjr responsible person That nine-tenths of all the Democrats of this city, are in favor of this advanced movement of their party in the right direction, is evident to all who will open their eyes and see. The editor of the Journal, however, belongs to that species of the genus homo who never forgets anything, and never learns anything. He has said the horse was seventeen feet high—we think he will die saying so.

THE Gazette should remember that wc can exercise no "coercing disposition" against new departure Democrats, for the simple reason that there are no Democrats of that class about here.—Journal.

Then of course you have no right to complain, as you do, of a coercing disposition being manifested towards you Force can hardly be used without a power to exercise it.

Interesting Letter from Salt Lake City. SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, June 12. <To the Editor of Terre Haute Gazette:>

Pursuant to promise, I propose to drop you a few jottings by the wayside, of my trip overland, and of the things I have seen in and about this Garden City of the Desert.

I left your beautiful "Prairie City" Monday afternoon, May 22, and got to St. Louis that night, spending a day there very pleasantly among old friends and acquaintances. I was surprised at the rapid growth and wonderful improvement that had taken place in the four years since I had left it. I began to believe in the prophesy, that this would be, the "great future city of the West." Again resuming my journey, via Davenport and Des Moines, (where I spent a day each,) I arrived in Omaha, Friday morning. That afternoon I started across the plains, once a long and dreary trip, when mules and oxen were the motive power but now a ride of pleasure, behind the iron horse, seated in comfortable "palace cars." No danger of starving to death now on the road, nor need of hunting wood and water for camping ground or spending weary days in seeking lost animals, and last but not least, being fearfully anxious about your "top hair," lest some friendly "noble Red" should lift it and add one more trophy to his already well filled belt. Thanks to Yankee energy and Western pluck, those are things of the past, and the Pacific Railway having been successfully built in the track of the pioneer, the plains and mountains now afford as sure and speedy traveling as the older established roads of the "States."

The first two hundred miles we travel through a portion of Nebraska, following up the Platte river. This valley, on every side, gives evidence of the care and toil of the industrious farmer, while here and there are scattered the many new thriving towns which have grown up in the wake of the great highway as if by magic. When I went over this route several years since, there was scarce a house to be seen,and now, turn the eye to either side of the road, and as far as you can see it is settled up by the hardy pioneer and emigrant, and more coming to push further westward. After leaving Fort Kearney to Cheyenne, we pass over the "plains," which are rolling uplands, rising from the valley and river of gentle grade, often stretching as far as the eye can reach, covered with the short buffalo grass, sage brush and cactus, generally wearing a desolate appearance, with only an occasional cayote, wolf, and a few antelope to break the monotony of the scene. After leaving Cheyenne, we begin to ascend the mountains, until we reach the summit at Sherman, the highest point on the road, 8,424 feet. The ascent has been so easy you scarce realize it.

From here we began to descend to the great basin. At lirst the scenery is uot grand but picturesque, from strange rock formations, the Black Hills skirting the valley on the north. On the south many bright valleys interspersed with clear running streams and low ridges, the whole landscape crowned in the background by the irregular range from Long's Peak to Pike's Peak, clothed with pine, and the summits capped with snow, much of which lingers and defies the hot rays of the sun the summer through. From Laramie for the next four hundred miles, we pass through a most desolate,dreary-looking space, commonly called the "Bitter Creek country," a dry, sandy waste, bearing nothing but sage brush and grease-wood,(low, stunted bushy shrubs, with an'occasional creek, strongly impregnated with alkali, coursing alongside or crossing the road. When we reach Echo City 990 from Omaha,) we enter the famous Echo Canon (pronounced Kanyun), one of the grandest works of nature, and yet to one of the loveliest scenes which the Rocky Mountains can boast of. It is a deep ravine, walled in on one side by cliffs from 300 to 500 feet high.

The opposite side is formed of a succession of green hills and sloping masses of rock. It is nearly twenty miles in length at the head from a halt to threequarters of a mile in width. Half way down, it narrows to a mere defile a bright, transparent stream course its way down the canon, at times tranquilly anon vexed to madness it "clears barriers in swift and suddeJi. bounds, to continue through thegofge. As we near the lower end of the canon, the cliffs are broken up into a variety of forms, likened unto pyramids and pinnacles, spires and towers ruined cathedrals and fortresses— scenes fit for aii artist's fancy. At the end of the ravine we sweep by the "Witch's Rock," into Weber Valley thence on into Weber Canon, abounding in ierd scenes, which my limited space forbids me describing in detail. At the foot of this cauon we pass through the "Devil's Gate," a breach in the mountains, walled in on either side by perpendicular cliffs five hundred feet high, with scarce room for the river and the train to pass through. The gap is seven hundred feet long.

Ten miles further we reach Ogden, an old Mormon settlement 1,032 miles from Omaha. We are now i„ the the great basin. Here we take the Utah Central Railway 40 miles to the City of the

Saints

("Latter Day.") This road is operated and controlled by the Mormon church. jU8t after leaving Ogden we get the first glimpse of Salt Lake—'the Dead Sea of

the Ylfesk We cputinue alopg its eastern

shore until we reach the city, passing through highly cultivated small farms promising abundance—seemingly the last twenty miles is one continuous farm or garden until we reach the city. Here I arrived Sunday evening, the 28th ult., glad to reach such a pleasant liaveu in the wilderness. I find everything here stir and bustle, inconsequence of the mining camps in this vicinity. It is claimed that there are two thousand Gentiles in the city and three times as many in the various camps, all of whom expect to "strike it rich." As yet. the snow has not entirely disappeared from the ranges, which has retarded prospecting and the opening up of partially developed mines. Still enough work has been done to show that this Territory is rich in silver and lead bearing ores, and furthermore, that they are permanent.

This season, I think, will demonstrate the fact that this is the richest silver district in the United States, if not in the world. Mining and saving the silver is yet in its infancy. Progress has been retarded by various causes and effects, the prime one being the ignorance of the people (Mormons), and the power of the rulers. But a different class is fiockingin, representing the hardy miner from Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and California, who go for "feet" and don't rule worth a cent, nor pay any "tithing." among the many coming there are quite a number representing capital from the East, and Europe, seeking investment. A great deal of property has changed hands in the past two months. Day wages in the mines are §2.50, and $3. per day, and board. Comparatively speaking, liviug and the necessaries of life are nearly as cheap here as with you. Board in the city can be had at from $8 to $12 per week, at restaurants, and private houses. The hotels charge $3 and $4 per day.

Rents are enormous, store the main street, twenty-five and one hundred feet deep, from $2,000 to §6,000 per year. saloon with nine billiard tables, in a second story, renting for §800 a month. A license to retail liquors costs §100 a month. How is that for "ascension." The air here is soft and bland, and so transparent that distant objects seem startingly new. The nights being cool, it is no trouble to sleep under woolen blankets withal, this is a pleasant place to live in. It is quite the thing now for persons "crossing tlie Continent" "to do" Salt Lake City, as the hotel registers show. Of the city and people, churches, etc., the mines, mountains, and polygamy, I will write you further hereafter, in case your readers don't think me too tedious and exhaustive, and you say come again.

THE QUESTION DISCUSSED.

"St

Tlie following Conversation recently took place between

parties living in this city, and being reported to ns, we

give it as nearly as possible word ibr word.

Mrs. B. to Mrs. R.—I saw you with a new dross 011 tlie oilier day as you wore passing my house. Hrtw much did you pay for it?

Mrs. B.—Why, they asked me 75 cents a yard for it!

Mrs. R.—Perhaps you saw it at some other place than where I got mine.

Mre. B.—Why, where did you get yours?

Mrs. R.—I bought it at the NEW YORK CITY STORE.

Mrs. B.—Do you then trade at Foster Brother's I wouldn't buy ii cent's worth there.

Mrs. R.—Pray, why not I always buy where I can buy the cheapest, and I am sure there is 110 pleasanter place in town to trade than Foster Brothers. They are polite and agreeable, and take a great deal of trouble to suit their customers, and are never impudent to you, as they are at some other stores in town, if you don't happen to get suited.

Mrs. B.—But I have been told that they didn't sell as cheap as. they advertised to do, and that if I went there to trade I wouldn't get goods as cheap as they promised to sell them.

Mrs. R.—Why, they constantly ask you in their advertisements to cut tlieni out and bring them with you that may see for yourself whether they do or not sell as they advertise. Some of the other dry goods merchants have been stuffing you. They all hate the New York Oity Store because it has put down prices. have been surprised to hear certain dry goods merchants in town, who claim to be gentlemen, talking in the most false and slanderous manner of the linn of Foster Brothers.

Mrs. B.—I have sometimes thought myself that what they said was hurling them and helping Foster Brothers, for I am tola that tlie latter are now doing a larger business than ever. How Jong have you been trading with them, and have you always found them reliable and their goods as represented?

Mrs. R.—I have traded with them ever since they opened, and have always been well satisfied. Once, however, I got a linen lawn that they warranted would wash. After I got it partially made—the breadths all gored—I thought I would cut off a small piece and try it, I was disappointed in finding that it faded quite badly. I was, I must admit, a little put out about it, for I knew that as it was cut out they would not exchange it, for I had already had a case of this kind with another store in town that had sold me a dress that was warranted to wash, but which faded, and when I went back with it, they not only wouldn't allow me anything for it, but threw in with the refusal an unusual amount of impudence. However, I determined to take this dress back also,-and give Foster Brothers a "blessing" at least for warranting it to me. Going in 1 happenad to meet Mr. Foster himself, and I commenced at him in a manner neither "child-like" nor "bland." He asked me in a very quiet manner to explain the matter to him, adding, "There is nothing we dislike more than to make mistakes, but there is nothing that gives us more pleasure than correcting them." I explained the matter to hlra, when he said: "As our clerk warranted it to wash, we are, of course, in honor bound to make up your loss to you, whatever that may be. We would exchange it, only it is cut into so many pieces." You may judge I was surprised when he offered to return me half my moneg. I suppose I ought to have been satisfied with that, but really the dress was of no value to me, and I told him so. "Then," said he, "we will take the goods back just as they are and return you ALL your money."

Mrs. B.—You certainly were treated well, but do you think they still do things in that way? As your dress was lawn, you probably bought it when they first started. Perhaps they do. different now.

Mrs. R.—I have every reason to think this is one of the settled principles upon which they do business. You must have certainly seen that they constantly advertise to return the money for all goods bought at their store that are not in every way satisfactory to the buyer. No other store in town will do that.

Mrs. B.—Now you speak of it, I do remember that they have been so advertising. But I have one objection to these gentlemen, of which I have not yet spoken, and that is that they are so personal in their advertisements.

Mrs. R.—Yes I heard Mrs. T. talking in that same way the other day, and I havn't a bit of patience with either of you. You go and listen for half an hour to the low, personal abuse heaped upon these men by some of their competitors, and then you profess to be shocked and are virtuously indignant because this firm have sipply dared to say what they have repeated^ offered to prove—that for years our dry goods stores have been charging unreasonably high profits. No one knows what they state to be a fact better than you do, for you and Mrs. T., and Mrs. H., and several others that I know, used to go to Indianapolis and Chicago for most all your dry goods previous to Foster Brothers bringing down the prices, and yet you stand by and see a combination entered into to drive them away from town, and you hear falsehoods told in regard to them weeks before they opened, and then after their opening you see everything thrown in their way whereby their business may be obstructed—you see their small cash boys beaten in the streets—their goods piled at the door cut with knives—members of the firm assaulted in the streets— efforts made to entice away their help—and yet for all these you have not one single W'ord of condemnation. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. For my part I glory in the pluck of these young men who do not propose to have any body ride rough-shod over them.

Mrs. B.—Really, Mrs. R., you are getting quite eloquent. I didn't know I should bring down upon my head so sharp a lecture, or I should have kept quiet. However, I am not sure but that there is some truth in what you say, and I promise at least to think the matter over. Perhaps I may conclude to try this firm myself, for, to tell you the truth, my friends are many of them telling me I am foolish to pay the old stores 20 or 30 per cent, more for goods than Foster Brothers are a

Mrs. R.—And I quite agree with them. Now to-morrow I am going around to the New Yorn City Store to get some muslin, and if you will call around and go with me and examine the goods and inspect their prices, and see with what patience and pleasantness each customer in all the throng is waited upon, I will be very much mistaken if you don't make it in the future your favorite shopping place.

We submit the above without comment. Evidently

Mrs. R. is quite able to take care of herself. We are cer

tainly finder great obligations to her for the good words
