THB morality among the infant population of Terre Haute is quite large at present.— Vincennea Sun

Certainly, all infanta are moral. It is after they reach^years of accountability that they becotfle immoral!

FROM the number of No. 10 and 14 boots ornamenting the edge of the second gallery at the grand Opera House last evening, yre are of the opinion that there were no policemen there, and that there was a very large representation of the unmannered occupying that position.

WINTER IS COMING TO US ONCE MORE, ETC.—In the language of a distinguished lady author, slightly changed, we can soon exclaim in earnest: "Winter is coming to us once more with its frosts and its snows, and its cold, dreary winds." Already, the thoughtful husbandmen and thrifty housewives are making preparations for those days, the dreariest of the year, when the earth, now covered with vegetations just entering upon the first stages of perceptible decay, will be covered with snow.

In a few short weeks the trees, which are now so beautiful in their dress of many colors, will be stripped of their raiment of leaves, and the cold, dreary

wlfidB

of late autumn and early winter will whistle through their branches. And er we aware of the approach of the frozen period, the broad bosom of mother earth will be enveloped in hite, and the noble Wabash will present a congealed surface, as will the artificial lakes, and natural ponds, in this vicinity. Then will the festive urchins glide over their smooth, glossy surface, and wish that winter would never end. As the long winter evenings advance, will the season of amusements in general, and balls in particular open in earnest.

The theatrical season has already been opened auspiciously by the Rankin troupe, and from the prospect we are to be favored with the best season, at our beautiful temple of amusement, that it has ever been the good furtune of any city of our population to enjoy. As to balls, we have heard of none as yet, though we anticipate quite a number when the season has a little further advanced.

From present appearances there will ,.t be but few evenings during the'long winter months now so nearly at hand, when there will not be a public entertainment of some character. When there is none,' certainly the greater portion of our population can enjoy themselves filling the intervening time by remaining f^t home and reading the evening GAZETTE, at fifteen cents per week, delivered by carriers.

THE LADY ORCHESTR^.—The Vienna Lady Orchestra will make their first and doubtless only appearance at the grand Opera House in this city next Thursday evening. The press of the metropolis speaks in high terms of them. Yesterday we copied a very flatttering notice of their entertainment from the pen of the critic. To-day we oopy a notice

from the Herald, which will be read with interest We learn from the our exohanges and from reliable private sourceB that the lddies do not dress in abbreviated costumes, nor do they give entertainments of a minstrel character, but of the highest order. The Herald says:

iiiwr

-'It

They have been received with undoubted v^Tavor by the metropolitan public, and showed a marked improvemeut in each per formanoe. Their programme last night comprised tome of the best selections of

Strauss aud a very pretty arrangement of Schubert's "Wanderer." The a

of ladies in an orchestra, which "has hitherto been the exclusive province of the sterner sex, is a subject.calculated to excite discussion and attract the attention of all musicians. The result has proved favorable, as the ladies have exhibited a rare delicacy and grace in their management of tne various instruments that compensated to a great extent ibr their want of power. In a smaller f^tiall than Steinway's the effect would be inore decided. The experiment has, however, solved the problem which might, .. ^perplex the advocates of woman's rights

fvwwhether

the gentler sex can take the

^:':#^%f??%lace of those horribly stupid-looking sit- -people from avenue C. who generally .vanake up the rank and file of an orchestra. -f^^The young prima donna, Mlie. Elzer, "has already become a real favorite. Her

Ifine, sympathetic, highly cultivated voice,

?and

bread, dramatic school of sing-

^%dug, appeal alike to the critic and 'the public. If her histrionic abilities io'•••$• in course of time prove equal to her vocal, she must be a valuable addition to the opera, as we have but few prime donnas of that school on the stage at present. A finer baritone than Herr Muller has not bee a heard on our boards in many years, and it is ©Oly a pity that he cannot have an opportunity of displaying hia talents on the operatic stage this season. A strong evidenoe of the popularity t)f this troupe is the fact that tney have given concerts here every night for nearly two weeks to large auaienoes, and the difficulties of producing such a

result

are known to

every metropolitan manager and to the

ubllc. Even Bateman, with his concert at the opening of Steinway Hall, did not meet jrith such encouragement*

BURGLAR SHOT.

What it Costs to Go Through a Grocery Store "Under Certain Circumstances." ^jLast night, a man wha gives his name as Quins, effected an entrance to the grocery establishment of Samuel Barker at the little village of St. Mary's, which fact was made known to the owner of that concern, who secured a small size Colt's navy revolver, and went to the door. When there he called for assistance, and the man inside endeavored to get out, and succeeded in forcing open the door, whereupon Mr. Barker shot him, the ball striking and penetrating his chin, and passing backwards and upwards, causing a very painful, if not fatal wouud. Of course, this settled his at* tempts to escape, and he was taken in charge by his captor, who assisted by another gentleman, brought him to this city, where he was lodged in jail, where he now is and where he has been raving like a madman & part of the morning. Dr. Young was called in and dressed his wounds, which he found to be dangerous and painful. The chin is terribly shattered and the ball cannot be found, though the wound was probed to a depth of about five inches. The Doctor he thinks will recover if properly cared for and accounts for his wild and insane actions on the ground of the terrible pain which he endures from the wound. Yea, verily, "the way of the trangressor is hard." The case is undergoing the scrutiny of the Grand Jury to-day.

THE STATE FAIR.

!r id

^Crowded—rOver One Thousand Entries More tbian Last Year. IX k, FOURTH DAY. Judging from the state of the weather, upuu which much of the success of agricultural exhibitions must neccessarily depend, "Jupiter Pluvius" must favor the profession of husbandry or "farming as a profession," as it would be put by that eminent novelist and agriculturalist, Dr. Bland. In fact, if it had been specially manufactured to the order of Sergeant Wappenhous, the good weather agent at this point, it could not have been more favorable to the interests of the Fair, and those who^were compelled to sleep in stair-ways and against lampposts last night, owing to the over crowded state of our hotels and hash foundries. Each train that came in was crowded to its utmost capacity, whose human freight discharged, filled the streets with a surging \ide of humanity of all grades and classes, from the wouldbe thoroughbred, who counts the feeding ofohesself with a* fork, as the ultima, thule of breeding, and all intermediate grades to the unmistakable yahato, who was in town to see the sights and didn't mind the expense. Places of amusement, and those for the dispensing of Dick Swivelers "rosy," were blazing with light, and turned an honest penny by catering to the sight-seeing, or thirsjy wants of the crowd:

Owing to the vigilence.of.the guardians of the public there was less br&wling than usually marks the influx of such a hetrogenious crowd into a large town, and the profits 'of the thieves, .pickpockets and gamblers were reduced tp the minimum.

'f' ,/

The fact is undeniable that the lodging oapacity of our public houses was tested to the ntmost, and fell far short of the requirements of the multitude, although none were turned away until such houses was packed like a sardine box from basement to garret.

During the course of tne evening the Fort Wayne cornet band got elevated— by means of the Journal hoisting appatus—on to the roof of that building, and discoursed excellent music for the delectation of the world ^elow, introducing into their performances an amount of pistol practice positively startling to weak nerves, an idea probably borrowed from Gilmore's cannon bass, at the great Boston horn blowing of 1869.

At the Academy of Music Rip Van Winkle was busy in accumulating the wherewith to pay those mortgages, which his profligaoy* had entailed upon his estate, in the shadow of the Catskill's (no allusion to the State Printer), and judging from the number in attendance, at the present scale of prices, he must have succeeded in accumulating several "thalers."

Long before sunfise this morning the jar and rumble upon the streets told of something m^re |hs^mfli:#aid yrjfcst carts making their rounds, and daylight revealed the fact that a continuous stream of vehicles was pouring into town of every description, from a duplicate of the "dteaconfs ope-ho&e shay," to the eJie-r gant conveyan^ jf mod^a# times, "ra fact, everything upon wheels seemed to be in motion towards the Fair Grounds. By eight o'clock A- M. Washington street was filled from curb to wall on each sid*j aad between Nvith oarriage& Allotting northward. Streets

CMS,

leaving

were

the depot every five minutes, crowded to their uttermost, seats being not considered as an essential only as a basis for the bottom layer or foundation upon wiiich to rest the pile of crowding, wheezing, perspiring humanity. Long trains, leaving the Union Depot every twenty minutes by the Peru line, were loaded down, while large crowds of the economical or impecunious, who were compelled to count the cost, took their way to the ground per Foot and Walker's express.

The scene upon the grounds was tho same as yesterday, only differing in the aggregate ot humanity present, intent upon their pursuit of happiness and perhaps an increased volume of voice from the leathern lungs of the venders of prize packages, Attleborough jewelry and quack nostrums, above all of which might occasionally be heard the stentorian voice of an old gentleman from the balcony of the building, used as the board's headquarters, calling for some judge or. committeeman, a position which he has occupied and filled for the last five years. As an evidence that horses will "draw" better than mammoth pumpkins, the amphitheater commenced to fill rapidly early in the forenoon, although the races were not announced to take place until one o'clock P. M.

The general programme for the day, was as follows, which has been carried out in all material particulars: At 9 o'clock A. M., examination of horses in the ring for general purposes at 11 o'clock A. M., examination of matched horses in their order awarding of premiums of all classes during the entrance day occupied the attention of the various committees and judges at 1 o'clock P. M., a pacing race between geldings or mares At 2:30 P. M., best trotting, gelding or mare. Around these two points centered all the interest.

What is the rial of a tlfresher or saw mill to the general crowd compared to the contest between horses, which the imaginations of the owners have convinced them are fast or are so in fact? Mere dust in the balance, hundreds in attendance who Would fail to point out the beauties of a fine painting can discourse like a born Jehu upon the good points of a high stepper. The fact cannot be erased that there is something of the centaur in almost every human being, a passion which even a white neck cloth drawn to a tension sufficient to erase all wrinkles cannot quite choke OUT. bm ii

being fully one thousand in excess of the entries of last year. Owing to the common weakness,

weakness it is, of tJeing more interested in the horses than any other department,, partment of Public I am convinced that the next most in-*"fiT

teresting thing to an observant spectator connected with a fair is the awarding of premiums, .or rattier- the watching of the effect which'' it has upon the exhibitors, The office of that of a judge, in general terms, is a thankless one. Disappointed exhibitors, not being able to see as they do, are often not slow in giving tongue to their ideas of how things should be done, liberally intermingled with praise of the merits of the special articles which they have on show, and detraction of the more fortunate or skillful. Had I a desire to make the most enemies, with the least cause, in the shortest space of time, I would immediately endeavor to procure myself appointed as a judge of miscellaneous articles at some fair, and then give judgment unbiased, to the best of my ability, and shoiild, when through, leave the ground confident of being cordially hated by a "majority of those who had exhibited, without receiving a premium, in the department in which I had operated. Owing to the multiplicity of articles to be examined in a limited time, it is more than probable that unintentional injustice is sometimes done exhibitors, and perhaps a judgment is occasionally biased by favoritism, but my faith' in human nature is not so acidulated as" to: believe that, generally speaking, the utmost fairness is not intended in awards—a view of the case which the vanity of many exhibitors prohibits them from taking.

The races, like those of Yesterday, added no startling record of time to the annals of the turf, yet being creditable and affording good satisfaction to the immense mass of humanity packed in the amphitheatre and the space immediately contiguous thereto. I think the crowd in attendance has, thus far, fully met the expectations of the oflcers of the Board. Everything has, fo far, passed off quietly, so far as disturbances upon the ground have been concerned, the police regulations being of the best, the detail Tor duty from the force, having been selected: by the -Chief with a special view to their fi^ness for the business in hand.

'•"V"-

Coming to the city too early fbr the general crowd, the sidewalks present a comparatively deserted appearance, the shopkeepers standing in their doors looking sourly and wistfully northward, evidently mentally cursing the necessity which compels their absence from the scene of tlje days' festivities.- «I.

This may justly be termed the second day of the Fair, and to-morrow practically the best, when a larger crowd even than to-day will doubtless be in attlld^ibe^hd^ilotSifortuitous circumstances interfere with the natural course of events.

Taken altogether, the Fair has been ft success thus far, of which the whole Stat| has jaftrjeason to beprpqp^il being not" a local but" a St&te institution. Judging by present appearance, stairways and dry goods boxes will again be at a premium to-night as lodging places.* Meanwhile, I "wait for something to .tom'upi'? A&d tt)6 the morrow-

NEW YORK STATE DEMOCRATIC CONVESTIO*..

Nominations and Comments by the Press —Tilden' Takes a Tilt at Tammany.

Excitement Increasing: at Salt I-afee— Briffbam on tbe Rampage—A Mormon Indignation Meeting-—The s. Authorities Denounced and Defied—A Tempest in a Teapot Anticipated.

*4 Associated Press Dispatches.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—In the New York Sate Democratic Nominating Convention at Rochester to-day, the following nomination were made:

Magnus Grass, for' Secretary of State, but the reform delegation, of wfiich he was a member, said they would prefer not to have any of their* members on the ticket. [Cheers.] Diedrich Wilbers then received the nomonation for Secretary of State. O. V. Nichols received the nomination for Controller. Wheeler H. Bris-j tol was nominated for Treasurer. The name of O'Conner was presented for Attorney General. Several stated that he would not accept the nomination. After some debate a vote upon the nominees resulted in the choice of Marshal B. Champlain, by a vote of 62 to 42 for O'Connor.

Van R. Richmond was nominated for State Engineer, George W. Chapman was nominated for Canal' Commissioner, and David B. McNeel for Inspector of State Prison.

The selection of a State Committee was then made, with Tilden as chairman, after which the convention adjourned.

Chairman Tilden remarked during the progress of the nominations 'that he would not support Tammany nominees for the Legislature, that he would resign his position before he would do such a thing. He would then retire to his plundered fellow-citizens. For the expresr sion of this sentiment he was "loudly applauded.

The doing%fof the Democratic State Convention is the leading topic of convertron throughout the city, and the reform party is greatly dissatisfied at the action of the Convention in refusing them recognitor It is probable a bolt will be effected by the reform party of the city in conjunction with the anti-Tammany for organizing a ticket, upon the question of municipal reform, but much depends upon what' the Convention may do to-day. The platform is acceptible to the Democracy here, and the reformers are said to be much pleased with it, though the case of the reformers is badly managed.

A Rochester dispatch, received late last night, says that at the caucus last night the reform delegation decided to issue an address, but on consideration With Tilden concluded to await developments to-day.

The Times says the convention has rung the death knell of the Democratic party in this State. The promises of the leaders amounted to nothing.

A genuine indignation meeting of the masses against th#corruptionists of the party, which a week ago seemed determined to purge itself of bad men who had hopelessly polluted and disgraced it.- It now appears that the masses were hypo* crites. The World thinks the convention did its work well, and says a rival delegation was sent to Rochester only "as a means of excluding the Tammany delegates. It was a settled determination of the Democracy of the State that Tammany should be shut out, even at the risk of disrupting and defeating the party, but

the reason for its presence ceased wheni

their claims.

A communication jfrfcs sent, to the DeWoK uty Controller, informing them

rWlf™1Ior

there was a ballance of $24,291.67 only, due the department that beyond that amount, the Finance Department had no funds, and? no power to raise funds, advising them to apprise the men employed on public works of that fact.

SALT LAKE CITY, October 5.—Aspecial conference of the church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints was held to-day in the new tabernacle. About 8,000 were present. The three first priests, Brigham Young, Geo. A. Smith and Daniel Hewells, the twelve apostles, and the high priests and other church dignitaries were on the platform.

Among the speakers were George Q. Cannon, who aspires to succeed Brigham, and Brigham Young, jr. Their remarks were generally bitterly denunciatory of Federal officials, termed the ring. Cannon said he did-not anticipate that the MOrmons would have to leave the Territory, for they had broken no law, and had riot violated ttfe Constitution, the persecution inaugurated against them would only enhance the interest and accelerate the progress of the work of God. He rejoiced that the devil was not yet dead, ibr.they were not yet perfect, and his services could not yet be dispensed with.

Brigham, Jr., spoke most excitedly. He said the Mormohs had settled this mountainous region and they were entitled to its exclusive occupation and enjoyment. They asked no favors or assistance from any source. They defied their enemies, the Government of the United States included. The Government officials now persecuting them were tools of the devil. He prayed God to cjirse them all forever, "and," said he, with violent gesticulation, "trust to God, keep your powder dry, ana don't fail to have on hand a good supply of fixed ammunition." The latter remarks were received with a universal amen and loud cheering and clapping of hands.

The regular' semi-annual conference begins to-morrow and will last three days. An address is expected from Brigham, Jr.
