Young Grant Interviewed.

Just before young Lieutenant Grant sailed on his pleasure trip to Europe at the public expense, he was interviewed by aNew York reporter, and the following is the material part of the result

PRINCE FRED'S IDEAS.

"You have time for a few minntes' con versation asked the

reporter.

Lieutenant Grant—Oh, yes, 111 have time for that length of time. Reporter—Will^ you see all tha principal places in Europe?

Lieutenant Grant (speaking with the drawl of Lord Dundreary)—We'll see all the principal places, London, P&ris, Vienna, Berlin, every place in Europe.

Reporter—Indeed. Ob, then, you'll joy yourself? Lieutenant Grant (with gubto)—You bet.

Reporter—Ob, then, you'll have a very nice time, probably Lieutenant Grant (in jolly tone)—I ex pect to.

Here the Lieutenant looked pleasantly at the reporter. Reporter—I don't wish to intrude on

Grant—I'd tell you if you

did. Reporter—I beg your pardon Lieutenant Grant—I say I'd tell yo£ soon enough if you did.

Reporter (gravely)—What will you have to do, Lieutenaut, while you are in Eu-

don't know that I'll have anything to do, except that I'm on General Sherman's staff, and to see what I can see.

Reporter—Then your trip is realiya tour of observation I believe that's what lhey call it in military language?

Lieutenant Grant—Yes, altogether. Reporter—Will you go to Germany, too? Lieutenant Grant—Yes, we'll go to Germany I'll go all over.

Reporter—That's where I am from. THE LltfUTENANT'S IDEA OF GERMANY. Lieutenant Grant (looking at the reporter. Before this he had always looked straight ahead, as if ho wero talking to •someone in front of him.) Is it? There are lots of fine girls there, ain't there?

Reporter—Yes, there are. Lieutenant Grant—Oh, yes, I'll enjoy mysel f. You really think they are pretty, do you?

Reporter—Oh, yes tliero are some very pretty fcirls in Germany. Lieutenant Grant—By G—d, we're going thoro. Lots of fun there, is there

Reporter-Yes, if a fellow knows the ropes. ,, Lieutenant Grant (curling his yellow mustache, and laughinggood-naturedly)— Well, I know them.

Reporter—How long do you expect to be away? Lieutenant Grant—I don't know. I'll go to the coast of Africa before I get through. I'll go all over Europe.

Reporter—Then it will take you a couple of vears, won't it Lieutenant Grant (walking with the reporter in the hall)—No, we'll do it in six months. Here lie turned to a tall, stout gentleman with long mustache and chin wbinkers, who stood at the writing tablo, in company with a cadet. "Halloo! how are you, Colonel How do you drt?"

The Colonol and the eadet shook bands with Lieutenant Grant, who was evidently greatly pleased.

The Colonol—Well, goiitg to see the world Lieutenant Grant—Yes, I'm going to see the world. Will you have a cigar?

The Colonel—No, thank you I have one. WHY HE GOES TO EUROPE.

Tho Cqlonol pulled out one and began smoking. All tho gentlemen but the

Cadet—Sherman

roportor were smoking. They sat down on the table, while the reporter at a nod from the Lieutenant dropped into an arm chair.

The Colonel—How have you enjoyed yourself in New York? Lieutenant Grant—First-rate, flrst-rate. I wish you were going with me. Colonel.

The Colonel—I can't afford it, Fred. The Cadet—I'd like to go very much, if I could.

The Colonol (laughing)—Well, I would go if I had the President for my lather. The Cadet (laughing)—Would you? So would I.

Tho Colonel (laughing)—Would you? We'd all like to go, Fred, by GeorgS we would.

Fred (evidently tickled very much)— Would you You ought to have spoken to father about it. He'd seen you through.

Another gentleman here came up. He greeted the young blades cordially, and began talking with the Colonel. Lieutenant Grant took a chair beside the other cadet and they chatted merrily together. Tho reporter sat almost in front ot them, whistliug

Lieutenant Grant (with his feet on the table)—Well, you see all the technicalities had to be gone through. I had to be ordered on duty. It's all humbug, you know.

Cadet—Of course, Frod. But now tell mo, will yougotaloug with your allowance?

Lieutenant Grant (adding up the figures)—$75—§S5—$130—well, I have a hundred and thirty dollars, you know, and everything psiid. I toll you,, wo'll ba treated like Kings'.

by officials, Jerome Burnett wrote to the Express of Wednesday as follows It would be no more aggravated injury if it were said that Col. Hudson while Agent of State, misused the funds which came into his hands, and that he received interest upon tbe money held on deposit with Messrs. Winslow, Lanier & Co., for the payment of interest on the State debt. He could not feel more keenly the wrong done, if ho were called a thief and a robber, than do Mr. Morrison and Gen. Kimball. bince that date there has been one publication of the "evening obscurity" in which Jerome's aritcle was generally criticised, but it is a remarkable fact that

of the Journal intends to

insinuate that we, as Agent of State, on any occasion, or at any time, put into our pocket one single cent which did not, under the law, and in good morals, justly, and of right belong to us, he states that which he knows is a malicious lie. And in order that he may attempt a justification of this artful falsehood, we dare him to an investigation of every item of our accounts, both in New York and at the Auditor's office in Indianapolis, while we were in office. We dare the insinuating libeler to this exam ination, aud pledge ourself to ciam the falsehood down his guilty throat until it fills his boots.

INDIANA COAL.

Report from Prof. Cox on the Character of the Country on the Line of the Terre llante & Cincinnati Railroad.

Prof. Cox has furnished the following interesting report on the character of the country, and the extent and value of the minerals, on the line of the proposed Terre Hante & Cincinnati Railway:

OFFICE OF STATE GEOLOGIST, INDIANAPOLIS, IND., NOV. 16,1871. Mr. A. B. Quackenbush, Secretary Gin." cinnati & Terre Haute Railroad, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania:

SIB—You desire to have such information regarding the character of the country and the extent and value of the minerals along the route of the proposed railway from Cincinnati to Terre Haute, as my survey of the district may enable me to furnish.

At the western terminus is the flourishing commercial and manufacturing city of Terre Haute, with a population of about twenty thousand people. This city is already the focus of four railroads, two to Indianapolis and St. Louis, one to Chicago, ana one to Evansville, on the Ohio river, in the southwestern part of Indiana.

The principal towns along the line areMiddletown, in Clay county Spencer, the county seat of Owen, on the Indianapolis & Vaudalia Railroad Bloomington, the county seat of Monroe, on the LaFayette, New Albany & Chicago Railroad, and seat of the State University Nashville, county seat of Brown Columbus, on the Jackson, Michigan & Indianapolis Railroad, and county seat of Bartholomew and Greensburg, ou the Indianapolis, Cincinnati & LaFayette Railroad, and county seat of Decatur county. The distance from Terre Haute to Cincinnati, by this line, is about one hundred and eighty miles, and from the coal basin of Clay and CKven counties to the latter place, about one hundred and sixty miles.

From Terre Haute to White river, in Owen county, the country is gently roll ing, without any prominent hills, and is interspersed with beautiful prairies. The rest ol the route is through a country of low table lands, in places somewhat broken by small hills, and broad bottoms along the water courses.

The country abounds in timber, suita ble for lumber, such as black walnut oak, poplar, ash, and hickory.

Coal, iron oee, petroleum, afid build ing stone exist in great abundance. The best coal in the world for manufacturing iron and steel, und other uses as fuel, is found iu Vigo, Clay and Owen counties

Without fear of contradiction, I pro nounce the block coal of Indiana the best mineral fuel yet known to the world for the manufacture of pig metal, bar iron or steel. In the blastfurnaces it produces a metal in every respect equal to the best charcoal iron made from the same ores, In the puddling furnace a less quantity is required ol block coal than of the best Pittsburg coals to make a run of bar or wrought iron the heats are brought offiu a shorter space of time, and the quality of the iron is better. The gray pig-iron made with raw block coal, in Clay county from a mixture of Lake Superior and Mis souri triematite ores, is used with excel lent results in the manufacture of Besse mer steel at Chicago. Mr. Robinson Superintendent of the Union Rolling Mill, Chicago, where Bessemer steel rails are made, writes that "the Indiana coal seems to be just the thing for steel," aud he has no doubt they will soon have the best steel works in the United States.

Though the coal fields of Great Britain will not be exhausted for many years to come, yet the stubborn fact stares the iron masters of that country in the face that the cost of procuring it will soon be so great that the favored districts of this country will, at no distant day rob them of their best foreign market,

Iu Owen, Monroe, Brown and Bartholomew counties you will find good building stone. The Ellettsville quarries have long been celebrated as furnishing handsome and durable building stone. It is quarried in blocK9 of any required dimensions, and is susceptible of high ornamentation. Some of the finest building fronts in Indiannapolis are of this stone. In Brown county there are sandstones that have as yet been untouched, except for home use, for want of railroad communication with the outer markets. Dolomite, as well as sandstone, will also be found in Bartholomew couuty, which, together with the above mentioned, will make a variety of good and handsome building stouessuited to all tastes.

This road will connect at Blyomington with the I/minville, NeW Albany & Chicago Riilroad, by which route Louisville will reach the block coal mines of Owen mid Clay counties in 153 or 160 miles. At Columbus, it will couuect with the Jeffersonville, Madbon & Indianapolis Railroad, and at Greensburgwith the Indianapolis, Cincinnati & LaFayette Railroad. By this route the distauce from the block coal to Ciucinuati will be about one hundred and sixty miles. By this road (Cincinnati fc Terre Haute Railroad) and Its couuections, coal may be sent to the above cities at comparatively small cost, and, as you say that arrangements have been made to start with one thousand coal cars, you should be able to guanartee to them a regular supply of the best quality of Indiana coal at less rates than are obtained from the Allegheny coal field. Yours, etc.,

The Gazette and the Telegraphic Dispatches—A Word to Onr Patrons. We i®ue 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 leen 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 sue ceeded 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 control of General Cruft and J. B. Edmunds, the Associated Press Company, having passed a resolution, that no new paper should be admitted to the privileges of their dispatches, without the consent 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 asking 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 so that the citizens of Terre Haute could get 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 iu the world but to secure tb.ed Associate Press dispatches, we 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 one 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 monopoly 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, we 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 unmanly 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 and Pacific Telegraph Company to establish one of their great lines of telegraphio communication through this city, and have at last succeedei in perfecting arrangements by whioh we will receive the telegraphic dispatches, over a line which fosters no monopoly against' the public interest and encourages no unenterprising and selfish men to force upon a community without a rival, papers far behind the city's advancement, and the enterprise of their neighbors.

E. T. Cox,

State Geologist of Indiana.

Chicago has lost 122 miles of sidewalks, valued at about $1,000,000. This walk, the Tribune says, would have reached from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi. No one has calculated how high the mountain would be that would equal the amount of the differences in grade that were to be found in these 122 miles......

When she was interrogated as to whether she had brought a mandamus to compel the reception of her vote, Tennie Clafiin is said to have replied "No but no man-d—us shall prevent our voting." •f

have said this much, because we think it due to the readel-s of the GAZETTE, that they should know why it has been that we gave them no new tele graphic 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 thecity press, we purpose make the GAZETTE a full representative of the growing importance, refinement and intelligneeof our people.* We have a printing office inferiocto none outside of Indianapolis, in this State. 'We have bpiiMS op fc

large outlay of money, much time, and persistent labor. We have the njaterial 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.

Our citizens are familiar with the claims pot forth by certain of onr competitors to being the "Leading House," "The Great Headquarters," the "Chyef Emporium," Ae. 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 storo beforo.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

Wo propose to test tho question by challenging any two of our competitors to com

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 "or 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 so rapidly as now to be, we believe,

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 case do not let us hear anything more

about your "Leading Emporiums" 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
