WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22,1871.

The Common School Fund and Our Reply to the Express Correspondent. We like the way the correspondent of the Express, J. C. B. comes to the defense of the State officers who are now being prosecuted by the Attorney General of the State, to recover back from them, a large amount of money, which belongs of right to the Common School Fund of this State, and which the Attorney informs us, those officers have put in their individual pockets. Nothing would afford us more pleasure than to defend those very gentlemen from this blastiug charge, if we had, in our possession, facts out of which we could make a defence. We have offered personally to defend some of them through the columns of the GAZETTE, if they would place at our disposal sufficient facts to show their innocence of the charges made. We have even offered to publish anything that they might say in their defense, but we are furnished with no facts by which it would become right and proper to defend them, nor do we find the gentlemen themselves making any defense, although Mr. Hanna has brought suit against them, service has been had upon them, and the charge is made by the Attorney himself, and through the press of the State, that these very persons have been guilty of appropriating to their use, a large amount of the accretions of this very school fund.

Now, the evidence thus far before us is that what the Attorney General says in relation to this matter is true, at least, we have not one shadow oT evidence up to the present time, that it is not BO.

But we must give J. C. B. the advantage of his argument in theirdefense. He says: "The men to whom reference is made, and who are called thieves and robbers, are Hon. John I. Morrison and General Nathan Kimball, ex-Treasurers of State, and Hon. Thos. B. MCarty and Major John D. Evans, ex-Auditors ofState.

By some curious interpretation of propriety, it has become a rule with public men not to notice the attacks and disparaging insinuations of editors, it being held the wise plan to remain quiet and let partisans have it their own way. This is doubtless real Christian religion, though I believe the public would relish a little animated reply now and then, even if it involved an abrasion of something more than amicable relations.

There are no more honorable men, lor instance, in the State of Indiana, than Mr. Morrison and General Kimball and there is not an editor in the country who can show a purer record, in any particular whatovor, than they. During their terms of office they handled millions of dollars of State fnnds, and no man can truthfully say they diverted one dollar from its legal or proper use. They discharged the onerous duties of their positions with eminent success turned over the full amount of everv trust, and left the school fund, of which so much has been said, in a vastly better and more remunerative condition than it ever was before.

The only direct chargo made against any of these men is that they received interest on deposits—which oharge may be sustained, and may not.

It may be well to say, however, that at no time in twenty years has the State had a suitable place to keep with safety a quarter of a million to a million ofdollars, and the State officers, for their own security, if for no other consideration, have been compelled to make deposits of money where i* would be safe. And there is not a man among the free and easy accusers of the State officers, if he had any sense, hut would have done the same thing. Three times within the last few years the State officers have been notitied by responsible detectives that English cracksmen and burglars bad made arrangements to break open the safes of the Treasurers and Auditor's offices, and once arrests would have been made at the door of one of the offloes, had it not been for the blundering of a detective.

No wir-niinded man will accept the fact that the Attorney General %as brought suit against the ex-State officers as evidence of guilt. Intelligence enough to uuderstana the simplest movements of political Btratetry, is sufficient to show the objects and purposes of these suits."-

If J. C. B. had included Mr. Shoemaker, he would, perhaps, have iucluded all who are implicated in these serious charges. lu an article we wrote but a few days ago, we showed that Mr. S. had actually employed lawyers to enjoin this money in his hands, in order that he might be permitted to do just what it is charged his predecessors huvedoue, viz.: deposit this school money where it would be drawing interest, and then put the interest in his pocket. As he has, ho wever, not yet made his first settlement in relatlon to this money, it is thought, by those best imformed, that he will now account for this increase.

J. C. B. is mistaken when he asserts •'that it has become a rule with public men not to notice the attacks and disparaging insinuations of editors, it being held the wiser plan to remain quiet and let partisans have it their own way." This Is the rule only where the "disparaging attacks" are true. Innocent men, when their honor or integrity are attacked through the public press, at once without a moment's loss of time, resort to same medium to deny and repel those attacks. We make no charges against the ex-officials above referred to in the general discharge of their duties. They have always been in our estimation "honorable men," and if they had no safe place to keep this $800,000 of the Common School Fund of this State, it was their duty, *Jtubtio officers upon whom the people bad imposed so important a trust,

and

«*ter the place

was found, if a contract conld be made by which this very fund should draw a rate of interest, it was the imperative ^official diity of those officers, in the fib—no* qf all law, and underany circum

IS§§

stances, to take this interest, &nd instead of putting it in their pockets, add it to the principal of this most sacred fund.

The Attorney General says interest was paid on this very fund, amounting to more than $100,000 or $200,000, and it was put in the official pockets of those State officers. If this is all true, J. C. B. or the editor of the Express, or any one else, will find it difficult to make the people of the State believe it was right.

It is of this official conduct we complain it is of this that the people complain, and it is of this, that every child in the State whose education depends on the Common School Fund and its accretions, has a right to complain. Far be it from us to throw one straw in the way of the prosperity and happiness of these men. For years we have been their friend, and we trust they have been ours. But as a public journalist, and a citizen feeling a deep interest in the common School Fund of this State, we will not remain silent when we are of the opinion that men are endeavoring to convert large portions of it to their own use. No matter who they are, to what party they belong, or what are the circumstances, we will add our little influence to expose them.

IN relation to Tom. Murphy's resigna tion, a telegram from Washington to the Cincinnati Commercial, says "Mr. Tom Murphy, overcome by the pressure which has come from every honest Republican in the land, and from nearly every Reptdfcican newspaper independent of Administration favor, has at last resigned the office of Collector of the Port of New York. It is a matter of remark that he was allowed to take his own time, and it is a matter of astonishment and indignation that he not only took his time, delayed beyond reason and patience, but he was also permitted to choose his own successor, General Chester A. Arthur, a man of the

Tammany Republican school,

who obtained his military title in peaceful pursuits, who was, at the tinie he had charge of the lobby in this city for the confirmation of Murphy, a ten-thouaand-dollar office-holder in New York City, by the appointment of Mayor Okey Hall— who has been throughout the adviser and confidential associate of Murphy, and is no better fitted for the office, and no more entitled to it, than the man who stood outside of Murpuy's door. The management of the Custom House will be unchanged. It is a reorganization only in name, and the only reason a prominent gentleman, acceptable to the Republicans and business men ol New York was not choosen, was because it was feared not one could have been found who would have performed the duty required of him, namely of manag ins that immense lever to securd the renomination of General Grant, and the election of Roscoe Conkling to the Senate

There are many New Yorkers now here, including some of the leading merchants, and the surprise which is felt is beyond expression. The appointment only shows what the anti-Conkling Republicans in New York have long charged, that Murphy will control the Federal patronage in that great city. As for the Fenton men, many of whom are now here, they say that as between Murphy and Arthur, Murphy is infinitely the better man in every way."

Ain't that rather rich that such a fellow as Tom. Murphy should be privi leged to name his successor to so im portanta position, and then that General Grant should appoint such a man as the militia General Chester A. Arthur to such a place? But when we reflect that Murphy gave Grant his "Cottage by the Sea," we can well understand the influence he has over him. Murphy knows he has the President in his power, and he intends to use him.

THE following is descriptive of a wo man's rights convention, which lately come off in New York: "Mrs. Viotoria C. Woodhull delivered a lecture, this evening, at Steinway Hall, before a good audience, on the principles of social freedom. Theodore Tilton, the brilliant biographer, presided, and introduced the lecturer. Evervthing went smoothly until Mrs. Woodhull began te speak freely of her peculiar doctriues of f'ree-lovism, when Mrs. Brooker, who was seated in a box near the stage, leaped down, and excitedly asked the speaker how she dared to enunciate such sentiments as hers. Mrs. Brooker then entered into a refutation of Mrs. Woodhull's theories amidst a noise and confusion equal to that at a Tammany primary. The audience hissed, and cheered, and laughed by turns, but still Mrs. Brooker (ne& "Ute" Claflin) kept on her vigorous tirade until at length a policeman took her from the stage. After the lecture, she delivered an address in which she vigorously attacked Mrs. Woodhull's doctrines. Mrs. Brooker is Mrs. Woodhull's sister and possesses a fair share of the eccentricities of the eccentric Claflin family."

This is bearding the lion in his den—a Claflin against a Claflin—Greek meeting Greek—and all presided overby the petticoat follower, Theodore Tilton.

Big Money.

According to reports there is at least one moneyed newspaper bouse in the city. The evening paper says it has offered to pay f15,000 for the Exprees office and $10,000 for the Journal establishment. So far as we are concerned that is the first we ever heard of that proposed trade, But there is no doubt, of course, but our co temporary has the spondulix with which to purchase a half dozen or more concerns like those referred to I—Journal.

Does not the editor of the Journal recolleet the negotiations carried on be tween himself and Col. McLean in reta tion to the purchase of the Journal office, and that they stopped when the Colonel offered $10,000 for the concern, and Mr, Edmunds refused to take it? If the editor will now inquire of Col. McL. for whom he was negotiating, he will be -told that lie was simply acting as our agent in the matter. Knowing the little fellow we had to deal with, we could not approach him, aud trade with him as men trade so we come at him through a third person. 7

THE New York Sun puts the following questions to Gen. Butler, in relation to the Washington treaty ••While Gen. Butler is discussing tfce treaty, we should be pleased to know what he thinks of that clause which fixes the termination of the rebellion on April 8,1865, the day after Lee's surrender. This provides in effect that theclaimsof British subjects for property destroyed by the forecs of the United States subsequent to that date are claims hearing an ordinary character, and just as obligatory upon the Government of the United States as if the property had beeu destroyed during A time of profound peace.

It is a fact that cannot be disputed that the war continued long after the date mentioned in the treaty. By Gen. Wilson's raid alone property was destroyed worth more than one hundred millions of dollars and most of it will doubtless now be proved to have belonged to British sub* jects. Prom such claims the treaty removes all stain of connection with the rebellion, and thus proclaims them to he valid and unquestionable claims.

What does Gen. Butler think of this?

THK CONSCIENCE FUND. -The total amount of money received at the Treasury Department since November 30. 1863, and credited to what is known as the "Conscience Fund," is $126,147. Of this amount, $8,749 was received during

'.'•it':

The Gazette and the Telegraphic Dispatches—A Word to Onr Patfous. We issue this afternoon a large edition of the GAZETTE, and have ordered our carriers to distribute it during the entire week, all over the city. Our agent will wait upon all those at whose houses the GAZETTE has been left during the week, and as many as desire can pay for it and continue their subscription, and those who do not desire to take it, will please say so, and we assure them no unkindness will be felt on our part. The price of the GAZETTE, in the future, will be only fifteen cents per week, payable weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly, as may best suit the convenience of the subscriber.

We are most happy in being able to announce, that at last we have succeeded in securing the telegraphic dispatches of the American Associated Press, and will therefore give the readers of the GAZETTE all the current items of news up to the moment when it goes to press. It is a matter of much gratifi cation to us that we are able to say this to our readers. It is only known to newspaper men, the disadvantage paper labors under that is deprived of the telegraphic dispatches. We started the Daily GAZETTE, overshadowed by this very disadvantage. We made every possible effort to secure them with the other press of the city, but found those dispatches, so far as this city was concerned, in the hands, and under the con trol of General Cruft and J. B. Ed munds, the Associated Press Company having passed a resolution, that no new paper should be admitted to the privi leges of their dispatches, without the con sent of the local press which had already become members. This condition in the bands of selfish men created a monopoly calculated to prevent the starting of another paper in this city, and gave the Express and Journal the exclusive right to give the telegraphic news to the people. We addressed letters to Messrs. Cruft and Edmunds askiDg them to fix the price we would have to pay them for the privilege of securing those dispatches at the same rates they paid for them 50 that the citizens of Terre Haute could f&t the afternoon as well as the morning news. We were met in all those efforts by the selfish reply: you can't have them at any price, or under any circumstances .Thus baffled by this most unfair monopoly in securing for the people of this city afternoon despatches, and not being willing to publish a paper without the telegraphic news, we made an effort to purchase, first the Express and then the Journal offices. For no other purpose in the world but to secure tfced Associate Press dispatches, offered, through a friend, to give $15,000 for the Express office, and only failed to secure it, by being unable,to agree on terms. The Express office at that time was not worth $3,000, and not single pound of its material would we haved moved to the GAZETTE office, had we purchased it. We only wanted the dispatches, which were held as a monop oly over us, thus hoping to crush out all fair and honorable competition. Failing to purchase the Express and thus secure those indispensable items of news offered $10,000 for the Journal office. As the material of that office was never worth $2,000, and as the proprietors asked us $14,000, we could not afford to give that large advance, merely for the advantage of the dispatches. Being thus checked and baffled in our efforts to give this people an afternoon paper containing the telegraphic news, by this manly monopoly, unfortunately for this city in the hands of too eminently selfish and ungenerous men, we turned our attention to securing a rival telegraph line to'this city, over which could be received the American Associated Press dispatches. After almost two years of persistent effort we succeeded in getting the Atlantic aud Pacific Telegraph Company to establish one of their great lines of telegraphic communication through this city, and have at last succeeded in perfecting arrangements by which we will receive the telegraphic dispatches, over a line which fosters no monopoly against the public interest and encourages no unenterprising and selfish to force upon a community without rival, papers far behind the city's advancement, and the enterprise of their neighbors.

We have said this much, because we think it due to the readers of the GAZETTE, that they should know why it has been that we gave them no new telegraphic reports, and how we have been overshadowed by a monopoly which was as imperious it was mean, unenterprising and ungenerous. To-day, however, without asking the privilege from the Express or Journal, and without being compelled to purchase either of them at five times their value, we have the pleasure of giving to our Terre Haute readers, all the current news of the day, up to three o'clock P. M. of each day.

For the generous patronage we have heretofore received under such adverse circumstances we return our thanks, and now being upon fair competing terms with the rest of the city press, we purpose make the GAZETTE a full repsesentative of the growing importance, refinement and intellignee of our people. We have a printing office inferior to none outside of Indianapolis, in this State.' We have bailt it up to its present position, at n.

large outlay of money, much time, and persistent labor. We have the material and the men capable of doing as good work as any office, and we assure our patrons that the GAZETTE shall not be found wanting in its advocacy of all the material interests of our beautiful city, and in its bold and outspoken denunciation of corruption, scoundrelism,thieving and official dishonesty wherever it may be found, and to whichever party it may belong.

A A E N E

Our citizens are familiar with the claims put forth by certain of our competitors to being the "Leading House," "The Great Headquarters," the "Chief Emporium." Ac. Some go so far as to assert in so many words, that their sales are larger than any other Dry Goods honse in the city.

WE PROPOSE TO TEST THE QUESTION!

We believe our sales, even in our store before it was enlarged, and when we were badly crippled for room, far exceeded those of any single Dry Goods establishment in town. Now, owing to the splendid addition made to our store, which gives us, in our three floors and basement, much the largest Dry Goods and Carpet Establishment in this section of the State, we have ample room for doing an immense trade, and for the accommodation of all our customers. Our recent sales, we believe, are

Greater than those of Any Two Other Dry Goods Houses

We prcpose to test the question by challenging any two of our competitors to combine their recent daily sales and

COMPARE THEM THUS COMBINED WITH OURS,

Each firm to make affidavit to the correctness of the amount of sales reported, and to permit inspection of any OF all of their books that the committee may desire to ex

amine in order to arrive at a correct decision. We propose to show this community that in spite of the fact that every one of the Dry Goods merchants of this city are combined against us, and in most instances do not scruple to employ means, however unworthy, to injure our trade, we are still so grandly supported in our warfare upon high prices by the people, that our sales have increased SD rapidly as now to be, we believe, Greater than the Sales of any Two of our Competitors Combined !.'!

Now, gentlemen, walK up and "toe the mark," or else admit you DARE NOT make the comparison of sales asked for. In the latter ease do not let us hear anything more about your "Leading*Emporiunis" and "Great Headquarters."

Our Great Opening Sale ^Continued!

For a few days longer we shall make no change in our prices. The rush since our opening has been so great that some of our regular customers have been unable to get waited upon. We desire to give all a chance at these bargains, which have so electrified the country for miles around. We have just received and placed on sale A big lot of American Delaines at 12 l-2c.

Other stores are charging just double that price for them.

Magnificent stock of New Striped Shawls at $3, |4, and 05. We are selling an enormous number of Shawls. Customers tell us our prices are far below what other stores are charging. An extra heavy full sized White Blanket, #3 a pair.

elegant assortment of English robe figures. These handsomest styles of the best prints we could not now buy ourselves, for less than 12} cts. at wholesale in New
