ANOTHER LIBKL.—It is said that Mrs. Forris, the woll-known spiritual medium, will soon begin a libol suit apainst the proprietors of the evening paper for defalcation of character.—Journal.

Well, that is "libel suit" No. 3. As we have

engaged

just six lawyers to de

fend us against all "libel suits," we would be most delighted, if some dear friends would feel themselves so terribly aggrieved, in relation to something we have said, that about three more would sue us, so that we could just have one case for each of our attorneys. Then the matter would bfgln to be interesting.

Editor of Terre Haute Gazette: A majority of the tax paying citizens of Terre Haute signed a petition asking the Council to appropriate one hundred thousand dollars toward the building of the T. AC. R. R. It is well known that at least four-fifths of the minority of tax paying citizens who did not sign this petition because the canvassers could not or did not call upon them, were also in favor of this appropriation. Last evening a majority of the members of the Council passed resolutions making the appropriation asked for. Messrs. Peddle, Huger and Crawford, all of em directly or indirectly connected with the old roads, voted against the petition of a majority of their constituents. In view of these facts, we prophesy that a majority of the voters in their respective wards will see at the next election for Councilmen, that men are put in their places who will listen to the voice of the people, and who will have some regard to the interests of our city.

One who voted for one of the three, RAILROAD.

Interview with Gen. Blnir—Ku Klux, Etc. The following we take from the Associated Press dispatches, found in the Indianapolis Journal of this uiorniug:

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 21.—The reporter of the Republican interviewed Senator Blair yesterday in regard to his observations as a member of the Sub Ku Klux Committee, wliich has just closed its investigations in Arab^ma and Mississippi. The following are the main points of Mr. Blair's statements. The testimony of some two hundred witnesses was taken, Radical witnesses, chiefly nsgroes. The evidence at Huntsville, Alabama, showed that there existed a system of wholesale plundering, carried on through the Government's and individual acts of negroes, the consequence of which was that the people, in many instances, were driven to take the law in their own hands and protect their property by inflicting punishment on the negroes. It was not shown, in Any instance, that these acts had auyt ing to do with politics. There are mauy instances of arson for plunderand revenge,and a great many instances of rape, which are instantly and violently punished. A part from these, there is no more violence in the South than any other part of the country. The imprisonment of the negroes does not repress plundering. They don't regard it as punishmemt On the contrary, a prison is more comfortable than their own cabins, and it is no disgrace to be incarcerated in them. In Sumpier, Greer aud other counties, mauy negroes voted the Democratic ticket, and these counties have Democratic majorities. The carpet-baggers had left this region, and the attempt made to prove this was the result of violence, but the effort entirely failed. Much the same condition of things existed in various sectious of Mississippi, brought about by the plundering of negroes. The policy of the State Government under Governor Alcorn was very viudictlve. Under the prosecution of the whites under the Ku-Klux law, some three hundred indictments have been found in the United States Courts against the whites, on very flimsy pretexts, in a a great majority of cases. The enforcement act is regarded as arbitrary aud illegal, involving great loss aud expeuse. In regard to the proclamation of martial law, Blair said the people ate apprehensive if become necessary to carry the elections, martial law will be declared by the President. They feel the whole thing is a mere trick of a party to retain power. They are all convinced the only way to stop these things and restore peace and harmony in the South, is to accept the Missouri policy, proclaimed by the St. Louis Republican newspaper, and vote for some liberal Republican to defeat Grant, have

eneral amuesty atid repeal all the Ku laws, This fcr the only thing that gives the Southern people ajiy hope for the future. He believes if Grant is re? elected, it will com$ near depopulating the Southern Stales of the white people, as they can not remain theresafeiy under the present condition of things.

Mr. Blair stated the unfairness characterised in the aotion of the committee in taking testimony, the P^oritv frequently reserviug a witness until too late for him to procure tebtttting testimony. They only had one real Ku Klux before them, a man who had joined the Ku Klux in .-umter county, also a Whig before the war, and who had cast but one vote tince the war, and that for the Radiclals. The people do not hope much good t«» come out of the action of the committee, as they do not believe their true condition wfll be reported. Ti.e only ray of hope that penetrates the xsBouth at present and keeps the people from complete d«s|oudeucy, is their faith in the success of the "passive •.-policy."

DRAMATIC AND LITERARY.

The Abbott Pantomime troupe are at Springfield, 111. Third appearance of the Keane Comedy company at Dowling Hall.

Mark Smith and his most excellent comedy company are now playing an engagement at New Albany.

Rankin and company will be here during all of next week, and |it seems that our theater-going people are awaiting that event.

Rev. I. M. Wise will lecture on the Jewish Church at the grand Opera House this evening. Fifty cents is the price for a rare intellectual treat.

Sol Smith, father of Mark Smith, proprietor of the English Comedy Company, was atone time a resident of New Albany. Many of the old citizens will doubtless remember old Sol, as well as his son, Mark.

Robert Nickie, the illusionist, who did not appear at the grand Opera House in this city,

according

toprevious announce

ments, is making a frantic effort to take in enough nicklesat Council Bluffs, Iowa, to pet outside of town with.

The O. D. Hess, a theatrical manager of note, referred to in our Chicago dispatches, as having attempted to commit suicide in that city, which ajipeared day before yesterday, is the same individual who came to this city last spring as advance agent of the English Opera Combination, was taken suddenly ill and remained at Mrs. Deck's boarding house, on Fourth street, several weeks. He is a brother of C. D. Hess, manager of the Combination. The Chicago Republican informs us that at the time of the rash attempt, he was managing the Standard Theater, that city.

JOURNALISTIC.

The Indianapolis Evening Journal is to have larger type. J. E. Bryant's paper, the Georgia Republican, published at Augusta, has suspended.

W. H. Kernan, late of the New York Sun, has became city editor of-.the Fort Wayne Sentinel.

Most of the persons who write imaginary blood-lettjng stories for weekly papers are women.

The Fort Wayne Daily Gazette, since its enlargement, is ably edited, and is an excellent, publication withal.

A San Francisco nawspaper, for one of the head lines of its account of the Wisconsin fires has the following: "Not enough wood left in the towns to make coffins for the dead."

Thomas Bailey Aldrich is editing on Every Saturday, R. S. Stoddard on The Aldine, and Donald J. Mitchell on the Hearth and Home. Evpry Saturday will not be published in the future as an illustrated sheet.1

The Grand Rapids, Mich., Democrat has the following "apology:" "Owing the failure of the Eagle to receive its yesterday afternoon's' dispatches, the Grand Rapids Times is without its usual telegraph news this morning." We once knew how it was ourselves to depend on morning papers, we must acknowledge. But such is not the case now.

GENERALITIES.

"Flannel combats" prevail. Forty bulldogs is one item in a recent shipment from London to Calcutta.

Chicago now calls for "Chinese cheap labor." The divorce business has revived in Chicago in all its pristine activity.

The Chicago papers call the daily list of improvements "Phoenixing." Coroner's juries at La Crosse call it "probable murder" When a person is found with seven stabs in the.back.

According to a lateuumberof the Londou Times Chicago is bounded on the north and west by Lake Michigan.

A Connecticut Enoch Arden returned home, took in the situation at a glance, tearfully borrowed a dollar from his successor, and departed. 1

The toys with which the Prince Imperial used to amuse himself before his "baptism of fl re" were sold in Paris recently.

Men make their wills when dying women are npt allowed the same legal privilege because they are held to have them during their lives.

When a lady fainted at a Wisconsin party, a gentleman thoughthe could resuscitate her by biting her ear. She recovered promptly. He is going around with a poultice on his eye. -.

Twenty English families nave ijeen^so convinced ofShakerism, through the efforts of Elder Evans, as to start on their way to join theLebanan (N. J.) society.

The total receipts of customs at the port of New Orleans for the week ending November 11, 1871, were $118,416.45.

No further danger is apprehended from yellow fever at Vicksburg, and citizens are returning. There has been a heavy frost.

Immigrants from Chicago are arriving at New Orleans for Texas, but many of them have not the six dollars to pay their fare across the gulf to Galveston.

The large African lion belonging to Robinson's circus, died at Savannah last Wednesday, of pneumonia, and the Bengal tiger was quite ill, Saturday night, with the same complaint.

There is another sad loss from the Chicago fire which has just been brought to light—the fossil remains of the "Zeuglodon Macrospondylus," a huge antediluvian mastodon. The scientific world will wear crape for thirty day9.

In a French Court recently, as a witness was about to give his testimony, the advocate remarked: "I wish to re~ mark to the court that thre witness is entitled to entire confidence, as he has not had time to consult with his lawyer."

A Pittsfleld, Mass., clerk lately married and moved to JSorth Adams, where he bought a house and lot. In a few days the tax collector called on him and presented so large a tax-bill that the young man says he told him to take bis deed of if lit

the property in part payment, and he would let him have the rest as soon as possible.

A preacher, whose customs it was to indulge in very long sermons, exchanged with one who preached short ones. At about the usual time for dismissing, the audience began to go out, until nearly all had left, when the sexton, who had stood it as long as he could, walked up to the pulpit stairs, and said to the preacher in a whisper, "When you have got through, lock up, will you, and leave the key at my house next to the church."

Attorney General Evarts on the Use of Federal Bayonets. On the 12th day of August, 1868, Mr. Alexander Magruder, United States Marshal, of the Northern District of Florida, being anxious to do a little electioneering, or to try his hand at reconstruction, applied to the Attorney General for instructions, saying: "Under some circumstances, I should be glad to have the aid of the military, and, if practicable, would be pleased to have instructions given to the military to aid me when necessary."

To this Mr. Evarts replied on the 20th of the same month, in a earefully-pre-pared opinion, in which he instructed Mr. Magruder that the power of a United States Marshal is equivalent to that of a Sheriff, and that under this power to command all necessary assistance to enable him "to execute throughout the district all lawful precepts directed to him, and issued under the authority of the United States," the military within the district "were not exempt in common with all the citizens."

But, says the Attorney General: The special duty and authority in the execution of process issued to you must not ba confounded with the duty and authority of suppressing disorder and preserving the peace, which, under our Government, belongs to the civil authorities of the States, and not to the civil authorities of the United States."

This is the old Democratic doctrine of self-government, announced by the highest officer of the Republic, one of the most accomplished lawyers of this or any otder country, and an influential Republican statesman and office-holder.

The suppression of disorder and the preservation of the peace, said the distinguished Republican General, under our Government, belongs to the States. In South Carolina the State authorities are set aside, and the military forces are in possession.— Washington Patriot.

BULLOCK, of Georgia, regigned his office for the purpose of escaping impeachment. But it seeuis that under the Constitution of the State his resignation will not afford the relief he seeks. Article 3, Section 3, of the Constitution, declares that "the House of Representatives has the sole power to impeach all persons who shall have been or may be in office." The press of the State demands that proceedings be commenced under this clause. Even if they are nflt followed by punishment, it is contended thatif the State has any evidence against Bullock, (and who doubts that it has?) it ought to be given to the world through an impeachment.

Speaking of the resignation of Governor Bullock, of Georgia, the Nation says: He is one of the worst of the gang whom the reconstruction process raised into power at the South, aud he will probably endeavor to figure in Washington this winter as a Unionist "martyr." The most entertaining part of his farewell letter is that in which he warns the Union men of the State that they will soon be eaten up by the rebels.

ENGLISH Republicans are busy in distributing tracts among the people, giving startling statistics of -the enormous coSst of royalty and attendant evils. People are beginning now to speak of the

public in Englaud, not as. a thing of vague possibility, but as something that is really approaching, and which should be anticipated. Even that old bulwark of the throne and of Conservatism—the House of Lords—is deemed to be in a shaky condition. The London correspondent of the Liverpool Albion says: "The possibility, may be the probability, of a Rupublic, is a topic which one now hears discussed with a freedom that ten years ago would not have .been allowed in loyal society. That the House of Lords, as at present constituted, will stand for another five years is what very few people believe. The ballot bill will be sent to them as early as possible, and there is not the smallest danger ef their throwing it out."

A WASHINGTON dispatch to the New York Telegram gives the following information iu regard to a movement of the opponents of Grant within the Republican organization: "On the 30th of November, four days before the meeting of Congress, a con-, vention will be held in Philadelphia, Baltimore or Harrisburg, which will be composed of Benjamin F.' Butler, Carl Schurz, William M. Evarts, Jacob D. Cox, George M. Spencer, Lyman Trumbull, Thurlow Weed, Horace Greeley aud some half dozen or more others. Charles Sumner and Henry Wilson will have considerable to do with the deliberations, but will not he present. The main objects of the assemblage will be to arrange a programme for the coming Congress to head off General Grant and to unite the Republicans who are opposed to his nomination upon some general plan of operations." i.

THE last number of the Vincennes Sun, printed on Tuesday, November 14th, condemns in the severest terms the hobby of the Cincinnati Enquirer in its Thomas Scott Presidential movement. We cougratulateour able Viucennescotemporary on the standpoint he has taken, but we hasten to publish the fact before the next appearauce of the Sun, for fear he may by that time see some virtue and policy in the movement projected by the Cincinnati paper.—Terre Haute Journal.

For steadfastness and stability in the support of either men or measures the Sun will gladly compare records with the Journal. We recollect that less than two moons ago our Terre Haute cotemporary was among the foremost in his denunciation of Bright's villainies as State Printer. Since then, however, he has visited Indianapolis and dined with "the young Democrat of large aspirations."— Vincennes Sun.

IN the report of the Secretary of the Chicago Board of Trade, he says that one of the remarkable facts of the fire in that city was the immense destruction of books and papers iu safes. It appears that in the hottest places no safe was capable of preserving its contents from injury—a result, perhaps, not-to be wondered at, when the terrible heat, and the length of its duration, is considered—but even under more favorable conditions, the majority of the safes proved to be very unsafe depositories. This opens a new field to the inventive genius of the country. If it be possible to devise any kind of portable safe, which will endure the extremity of heat better than those that failed in Chicago, the ingenius American will be stimulated to try the experiment. A brisk run upou the Patent offloe may soon be txptt&di.

LONDON, NOV. 21.—Preparations are being made for a grand Republican demonstration to take place iu this city during next week. It is expected that speeches will be delivered by Messrs. Odger, Brolough and others prominent in the Republican Labor Reform movemen f. It is probable that delegates will be in attendance representing the various Republican Branches throughout the country. Committees have been appointed for the purpose of securing unity of action on the part of the different organizations interested, and it is believed that the forthcoming demonstration will be the largest and most influential ever attempted in London.

LONDON, Nov. 21.—It is announced that it is the intention of Queen Victoria to forward copies of the books written by Her Majesty, descriptive of the life and scenes in the Scottish Highlands, and also containing reminiscences of the late Prince Consort, to the Chicago library, wiiich is now being subscribed for, and which is to replace the former library destroyed by fire. This handsome donation will be accompanied by the royal autograph.

MADRID, Nov. 21.—Senor Bias has been appointed to the portfolio of foreign affairs, vice Senor Gomez, resigned, aud an order lias been issued by the Government, directing the recall of the Governor of Havana.

ROME, NOV. 21.—His Majesty King Victor Emanuel, arrived in this city this afternoon aud was received in the most enthusiastic manner by the populace. Crowds lined the streets through which the royal cortege passed, and the King was eve/ywhere greeted with marked manifestations of loyalty and affection. Signor Deferrario accompanied His Majesty.

LONDON, November 22.—The Prince of Wales wns taken suddenly ill yesterday, the indisposition partaking of a febrile character. Much anxiety was manifested at the royal household on the fact becoming known. The court physicians has been in attendance with the Prince during the evening and last night.

The Court Circular, issued this morning, announces that the Royal Highness passed a tolerable night. The fever has greatly abated, and he is now prog||fiug favorably.

The Plymouth election resulted in a Conservative victory. 4 NEW ^"OBK, Nov. 22.—The Herald this morning publishes a special dispatch under the date of Honolulu, Nov. 1st, via. San Francisco, giving dates of the arrival at Honolulu of the lost ship loaded with mariners from the whalingfleet recently wrecked in the Arctic 'Ocean. The dispatch states all the men are

being

cared for by the authorities, and

that one of the shipwrecked seamen, who died at the hospital, made quiet a sensation by confessing to some particulars which led to the belief that he was either the principal actor, or else an important accomplice in the murder of Mr. Benj. Nathan, in New York, last year. An opinion prevails among the mariners at Honolulu that the whalemen were precipitate in their flight from the icebergbound craft, and that they abandoned their vessel too soon.

NEW YORK, NOV. 22.—Several casualties occurred during the procession yesterday, caused by runaway horses, occasioning broken limbs, but none fatal. Notwithstanding the efforts of the police, pickpockets did a large business along the line of the procession, and ft large amount of valuables were lost. The principal losers were Samuel Laird, of Long Branch, who lost a solitaire diamond stud, valued at $2,500, and Charles Cathran, of Brooklyn, had his pocket picked of a wallet containing $450. A large number of pickpockets were detected and arrested.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—The Legislative Committee of the Citizens' Reform Association is working earnestly upon the form of a new charter, and it will soon be submitted to the citizens. A meeting of the Committee will be held to-morrow evening, at which a skeleton plan will be presented.

Although many of the features of the present charter will be retained, radical modifications are proposed, including a change in the mannerof representative in the administration of the city government, all favor division of the w. rds and minority representation in the Common Council. A very strong sentiment prevails in favor of a rigid registry law.

NEW ORLEANS, November 22.—Lieutenant Governor Oscar J. Dunn, died at precisely six o'clock this morning, aged forty-five. His disease was pneumonia.

There was a heavy frost here this morning, the first of the season. Strangers and absentees may come to New Orleans now with perfect safety.

NEW YORK, November 22.—The Grand Duke and suite left at 11 o'clock A. M. for Washington, D. C.

NORWICH, CONK., Nov. 22.—The steamer, City of New London, carrying freight between this city and New York,

was

totally destroyed by fire this morntng. Tbf fir? wii discovered In tlfe

snr:

cook's galley when the vessel was three miles below Norwich. It was extinguished, as it was supposed, but afterwards broke out in the freight room.

It now lies four miles down the river near the Pequettanoc draw-bridge, burned to the water's edfee. All the officers and st of the crew were saved. Three or four of the crew and one or two of the passengers are missing. Among the latter is W. F. Norton, of the firm of Norton Bros, of this city, with his books and a list of the passengers. There were only six or eight passengers aboard.

NEW YORK, NOV. 22.—A later dispatch states that it was the freight boat City of New London, that burned on Long Isiand Sound, last night, and not the steamer of that name, as first reported.

WASHINGTON, D. C., NOV. 22.—Congressman are growing numerous in the city and crowding the departments with hands full of*accounts and claims of their constituents, which they insist on putting through as special, thereby hindering the current business.

In consequence of theiacchmul&lion of Ku Klux matters, the Attorney Geueral will be unable to finish his report before the first week in January. He stated at the Cabinet meeting, that he had two thousand prisoners in South Carolina alone, captured under tbeKu Klux act. Arrests are to be more limited hereafter.

CHICAQO, Nov. 22.—A light snow fell last night, but work will not be impeded. The Board of Education last night passed a resolution to reduce the salaries of its officers and of teachers receiving over $550 per annum to same proportion as those of other cities.

A laborer named Charles Garilitz, while at work on the ruins of Butler's building on Randolph street, near Michigan avenue yesterday, was killed by a falling wall.s The jury and Coroner's inquest recommended that the city take some measures to have the walls now standing removed so as to avoid accidents in the the future.

There will be a meeting of the policy holders on suspended insurance companies to-night to hear the report of

Committee of Ten. The Republic and Merchants insurance companies of this city have beeu put into bankruptcy. The ground on which the action is based is that insurance funds are in the nature of a trust, and cannot be divided by the wholesale among the stockholders, only to be out of money when the fires come and losses ensue.

In the case of the Republic this will not retard the collection of unpaid stock in the Merchants. The object is evidently to get rid of a Receiver, who is at the same time-President oftbe company, and whose interests are opposed to those of the policy holders.

The remains of the man found in the ruins of the Tribune building yesterday, prove to be those of Jos. P. Stubs, who had been a reporter on the Republican for a week or two before the fire.

He was at different times connected with Eastern journals and a private Secretary to the Superintendent of the Grand Trunk Railway and to the Superintendent of the H. & St. J. R. R. His relatives have been notified of his sad fate, and the body will be kept at the Morgue until they take charge of it.

HAMILTON, O., NOV. 22.—Information has just been received here that a passenger train ran off the track and upset near Lyons, at the junction of the Hamilton & Dayton R. R. last night. A number of persons were badly hurt. No further particulars.

CHARLESTON, OHIO, Nov. 22.—The baggage car of the Cincinnati express on the L. & M. Railroad, took fire near here last night by the explosion of a coal oil lamp, totally destroying everything, including mails and baggage.

NEW YORK,Nov. 22.—Gold I10f. Governments active and steady. Sterling exchange very steady at 109F for sixty day's bills. Gold loaning flat. Money market easy at six per cent.

It is difficult to understand why some people concern themselves about their lungs, when their lungs take air of themselves.
