SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25,1871.

WHO is Thomas Murphy, and who is Gen. Arthur, his successor as Collector of the Port of the city of New York, are questions being asked by every newspa per reader. Those questions are impor tunt at this time, as the people are de sirous to know what kind of men are the friends of President Grant, and who he appoints to the most lucrative and important and influential office in his gift.

George Alfred Townsend, the brilliant correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, uses the following language in reference to Murphy: "Tom 3Vfnrphy, a Tammany jobber, discovered soon after Oen. Grant's inauguration what sort of fellowship was required at the White Ilouse to qualify liirrffor an office. He united with John lioey and others to nresf-nt, the President with a cottage and franchises at Long Branch the obligation was discharged by the relinquishment of the Collectorship to Mr. Murphy."

Murphy then was a "Tammany jobber," and not only so, but was a seller of shoddy clothing to the Government during the war. Well may it be asked, "how did it come to pass that he was ever appointed to so important an ofllce as Collector of Customs at New York." Mr. Isaac II. Bailey's claims were once pressed for this place, but an intelligent correspondent of the Springfield It(publican, says that Murphy's gift of the cottage by the seaside, beat all competitors and secured it.

But the honest Republicans, lead by Mr. Greeley, made Ibis appointment so hot for the President, that Murphy was forced to send in bis resignation. The President received it, but sent him a letter in which the following passage occurs "You have had my unqualified confidence ever since you entered the offico of Collector. You iiad that confidence before, or the office of Collector would not have been tendered you. That confidence i.s still unshaken, and in accepting your resignation, desire to givo you the lullest assurance of this fact."

The able Washington correspondent of (he Cincinnati Commercial, in referring to this paragraph in the President's letter, says: "The President in this writes himself down—I can not tell what—anything but ffWtn of sense and discernment. It shows ho did not know Tom Murphy, and it shows that he is the most credulous of mortals, His confidence is such that when Tom Murphy asks that his kid, jphet. Arthur, may succeed him, the ap{Sintincnt is made. What, pr»v, has inspired this confidence? Tom Murpiiv has been a Tammany operator and partner for years. Is tber1) anything in that to inspire confidence? Ho cheated the Government and poor soldiers with shoddy blankets and rotten cups. Is that praiseworthy in the eyes of Grant? He was the partner of Tweed and Sweeny and Hall in real estate transactions. Has that a tendency to beget confidence in a Republican President? He is deceitful* knavish, and untruthful. Does Grant confidence come from that? Ho is a Papist. Does that inspire confidence in one of Dr. Newman's believers He is coarse, ignorant and brutal. Is that a bond of sympathy He is a eorruptionist. Can confidence come from such a source He is a proscriptionist and a disorganizes Is ho plea^antMn the sight of Grant on this account? Yet, all of these things have boon nmdo wo plain in tho YVJ&WMT and other newspapers that ho who read believed notwithstanding which, Grant says this man has 1)is unqualified confidence

Now this fellow Murphy, forced to resign by reason of his character* and past history, had such an influence over the President of the United States, that he is permitted to name his successor, and he names Gen. Chester A. Arthur. And who is Gen. Chester A. Arthur? The New York Tribune says: "He latolv held a ten-thousand dollar Taminanv o'ffice, from which he was only driven by Tribune's exposure and ho is a devoted servant of tho Murphy clique."

No wonder Murphy recommended and Grant appointed him. The Syracuse (New York) Standard (Hep.) says of him "He has, in many respects, an uglv record. Independent of his affiliations, his appointment is one unfit to be made."

The render can well understand lionthis thing is all worked. Tom Murphy is really Collector of Customs in the great city of New York, and (Jen. Arthur is merely his tool. All the influence of that important- position to be t'Xvrtcd in securing a renominaii.m for U. S. Grant, and Murphy's services in this particular could not be dispensed with.

TUB Cincinnati Commercial proposes the following advice to the Democratic party, which it strikes us it had better p.«y some attention to: "Our proposition in that Mr. Belmont, the Chairman of the National Democratic Executive Committee, acting uuder the authority and bv the advice of this body, shall, at the earliest possible moment, issue a call for a National Democratic Conference, or,

the title shoukl.suit better,

a National Political Conference, to beheld not later than the loth of next March, for the purpose of taking iuto consideration, not merely the interests oi the Democratic party, but for reviewing the political condition and prospects of the country, and taking steps for party organization on new principles or policy adapted to the times.

The body whieh we propose might be, if the Democratic leaders please, in the nature of a preliminary National Conference to the Presidential Convention of next Juiy but the call for it should be so drawn up to give it a far wider scope, And lur grcfttcr freedom* than the regular party Convention can possibly have. This £a.l "should provide tor ftill representation from all the States of the Union. It should not be addressed exclusively, to Democrats, but to all parties who are willing to take part in such a conference. It shoald make provision for a thorough and^ free discussion of all issues of the times, a,

JlXuld hisure the* fair" oonsideration I the" ordinary expenses of the Governor #11 practical propositions properly1 ment, itt-

brought forward. The Conference should be empowered to establish a basis for party reorganization, to announce principles for popular acceptance, and to adopt measures for future action. Ample time should be provided lor its deliberations and proceedings and we think that its sessions should, in any event, cover up at least the period of a week."

There is much to be thought of in the above.

Important Insurance Opinion. The following opinion from Attorney General Hanna will explain itself. At this time, under the peculiar circumstances which surround almost all the insurance companies of the country, this opinion becomes an important one: AUDITOR OF STATE TO ATTORNEY G^EJF-

ERAL.

To the Hon. Bayless W. Hanna, Attorney General: By the fourteenth division of section one of an act regulating foreign insurance companies, doing business in this State prescribing the duties of the agents thereof, and of the Auditor of State in connection therewith, and providing penalties for the violation of the provisions of this act, approved December 21, 1865, it is my duty to issue a certificate of authority to transact the business of insurance to the agent or agents of any foreign insurance company applying for the same, where such company has complied with the requirements of the act. Does such certificate, when issued to an agent for such company, authorize such agent to appoint sub-agents or deputies who may act in other counties by virtue of such appointment, and does such certifi cates of authority authorize sub-agents to transact any businessof insurance in any other county than the one in which such* agency is established, and is the soliciting of business and the collection of premiums, business of insurance* within the meaning of the statute.

Very respectfully, etc., JOHN C. SHOEMAKER, Auditor of State. OPINION OF ATTORNEY GENERAL. Hon John C. Shoemaker, Auditor of

State: In answer to your communication of the 20th instant, a copy of which accompanies this opinion, I desire to say that the evident purpose and intent of the entire act to which you refer is to provide evidence convenient to the citizens of each county in the State regarding the solvency of any foreign insurance company proposing to transact business within such county, as well as assurance of the authority under which one claiming to be agent may act. This is indicated by the declaration contained in the first section, that it shall not be lawful for any agent or agents of any insurance company incorporated by any other State than the State oflndiana, directly or iudirectly, to take risks or transact any business of insurance in this State without first producing a certificate of authority from the Auditor of State, and before producing such certificate such agent is required to furnish the Auditor with a statement under oath, giving not only the name and locality of such company, but such details of its condition, and the authority of such agents as will enable one proposing to insure to form an opinion as to its solvency and his security in contracting.

Upon receiving the Auditor's certificate it is required that "the agent or agents obtaining such certificates, shall file the the same, together with a certified copy of the statement on which it was obtained, in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of the county in which such agency is established, both of which documents shall be carefully preserved, for public inspection, by said clerk." The second section of the act referred to contains the prohibition upon agent or agents of any insurance company incorporated by any government foreign to the United Slates. This plain requirement that each agent shall file the original certificate in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of the county in which such agency is established certainly solves your doubt. You must give an original certificate to authorize any agent to act in the county embraced by' such certificate and such original certificate must be there filed, which certificate "shall be carefully preserved for public inspection, by said clerk." It is. true an agent, (the law recognizes no general agent) may receive from you a certificate of authority, which certificate will authorize him to act in the county named therein, and you may furnish him an additional ciriificate for each county in the State in which he may desire to transact business. The limitation is not upon the agent but upon the territorial extent of the agency expressed in the certificate. The purpose is to protect the citizen by furnishing him with the best evidence, at the nearest accessible point, to guide his judgment in determining the solvency of the company which is seeking his confidence.

As the statute prohibits any foreign insurance company, directly or indirectly, to take risks or transact any business of insurance in this State without first procuring tho certificate of the Auditor, this includes a prohibition upon any person or corporation, not duly authorized by such certificate, from acting in any capacity as such insurance agent, either by soliciting applications or collecting money upon premiums. A policy issued by an agent iu violation of a law which declares his act criminal, might well excite apprehension as to its validity in the mind of the holder who has disregarded the protection which the law affords him. B. W. HANNA,

Attorney General of Indiana.

From Tiltou's Golden Age.

The Disgusted Kepnblicau Element. Messrs. Blair and Schurz favor a coalition of the new departure Democrats and discontented Republicans with leaders who have the public confidence, and without that bale of dead issues and obnoxious opinions with which the old Democratic party is weighed down. But Mr. George William Curtis does not think highly of the proposed coalition. The new combination will be so largely Democratic as to be under the coutrol of that element, and the Republicans who join it will be swallowed up iu it. It would be the old Democratic parly, plus a few disconted Repuhlicans, plus a new alias, which may be as true as the four Gospels and the Mormon Bible. But what does Mr. Curtis propose to do about it? Thousands of stanch Republicans are disgusted with Grant's political policy and personal conduct, and would not vote for him were he nominated by forty Con veil tions. If the Republican leaders insist upon maneuvering and intriguing and squandering the public money to secure his renomination, they will render the deprecated coalition f^ssible, if not probable and if the new combination shall have the wisdom to select any one of a dozen men whose names are under consideration at its candidate for the Presidency, the entire Democratic party would rally around the new leader, and his eleeticn woujd be morally certain. All we have to say is, that if the Republicans do not enjoy the prospect, they had better turn their faces in another direction before it is teo late.

Facts to be Considered.

Although the taxes of South Carolina have been raised under carpet-bag rule from $400,000 a year to more than four times that amount though'the adventurers in the plundering riug who have had the handling of the State funds have suddenly risen from poverty to great wealth, there is not a dollar at this time in the State Treasury. The State officers have robbed the treasury so freely that they are no longer able" to provide for

1 -a

Under these circumstances notice has been given that the taxes for 1871, due in 1872, must be paid before the loth of January next, thus requiring this outraged people to pay within twelve mouths and fourteen days the taxes for two whole years, amounting to $4,095,047.

It is to maintain the power of these plunderers, who are all zealous for Grant's renomination, that nine counties in South Carolina have suddenly been placed under martial law on the pretext of suppressing Ku Klux, while it is notorious that no disturbances have occurred in auy of them for months, and that the civil courts are in uninterrupted operation in all of them.—N. Y. Sim.

The Gazette and the Telegraphic Dispatches—A Word to Onr Patrons. 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 l»een left during the week, and as many as desire can pay for it aud 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, monthlj', 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 gratification to us that we are able to say this to our readers. It is only known to newspaper men, the disadvantage a paper labors under that is deprived of the telegraphic dispatches. We started the Dailj^ 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 Compajiy, having passed a resolution, that no new paper should be admitted to the privileges of their dispatches, ivithout the consent of the local press which had already become members. This condition in the hands of selfish men created a monopoly calculated to prevent-the starting of another paper iu this city, and gave the Exjjress 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 in the world but to secure thed 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 wauted the dispatches, which were held as a monopoly over.us, thus hoping to crush'out all fair and honorable competition. Failing to punjiase 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 ia 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 aud Pacific Telegraph Company to establish one of their great lines of telegraphic communication through this city, aud have at last succeeded in perfecting arrangements, by which we will receive ttie telegraphic dispatches, over a line which fosters no monopoly against the public interest and encourages no unenterprising and seilish men to force upon a community without a rival, papers far behind the city's advancement, aud the enterprise of their neighbors.

We have said this much, because we thiuk 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-xlay, 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 readeij^

all the current netcs of the dap, up to three o'clock P. M. of each day. For the generous patrouage we have heretofore received uuder such advene circumstances we return oar thanks,

aud now being upon fair competing terms with the rest of the city press, we purpose make the GAZETTE a full representative of the growing importance, refinement and intellignee of our people. We have a printing office inferior to none outside of Indianapolis, iu this State. We have built it up to its present position, at a 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 outspokeu denunciation of corruption, ^oundreiism,thieving and official dishonesty wherever it may be found, and to whichever, party it ma}' belong.

Our citizens are familiar with kr. claims put forth by certain of onr competitors to beiug the "Lca Jing House/' "The Great Headquarters," the "Chief Emporium.** &c. Same go so far as to assert in so inaujMvord*., that their sales are larger than any other Dry Goods house in the city.

WE PROPOSE TO TEST THE QUESTION!

TYe believe our sales, even in our store before it was enlarged, and when we were

badly crippletl 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 Ooods Houses

We propose to test the question bj' challenging

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 t#e committee may desire to ex

amine in order to arrive at a correct decision.

Our Great Opening

We propose tc show this community that in spite of the fact that every ono 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 warfaro upon high prices by the people, that our sales hav

increased SD rapidly as now to be, Ave believe, Greater than the Sales of any Two of our Competitors Combined

Now, gentlemen, walit up and "toe the mark," or else admit you DARK NOT make

the comparison of sales asked^or. In the latter case do not let us hear anything more

about your "Leading Emporiums" and "Great Headquarters."
