FOR GOVERNOR Iff 187*2,

Washington C. De Pauw,

OF FLOYD COBSTT.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 27,1871.

Cor,. R. N. HUDSON denies, most emphatically, that he was engaged in the black cat skinning business while be was Agent of State. He thus enunciates in his paper, the Terre Haute GAZETTE "If the editor 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 thQiaw, and in good ihorals, justly, and of right, belong to us, be states that which he knows is a malicious lie. And, jn order that he may attempt a justifica-. tion 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 examination, and pledge ourself to cram the falsehood down his iiuiltv throat until it tills his boots."

Perhaps the gallant Colonel will now rise and explain about the two and a half per cent.—Sentinel.

We thank thee, Jew, for that little period, and will now sit and explain all about the two and a half per cents."

The State of Indiana in 1846-7, agreed to give to her creditors a certificate of stock drawing live per centum per annum for one-half of the principal of her debt, and a certificate of stock drawing two and a half per centum per annum for one-half of the accrued interest on that debt, both redeemable in twenty years from the 19tli of January, 1846. This threw on the market over $5,000,000 of the five per cents, and about S2,o00,000 of the two and a half per cents.

In 1865, after we had returned from the army, being satisfied that the ensuing Legislature would, as it was bound to do under the law, make provision for the early redemption of those stocks, in connection with some other gentlemen of this State, we went to Wall street and purchased all the Indiana stocks, both live and two and a half per cents, which could be found on the street and elsewhere, at the market price.

When the Legislature met, we went to Indianapolis and urged upon the members the necessity of making provision for the redemption of those stocks, in accordance with the provisions of what is known as the "Butler bill." A bill for this purpose was introduced into the Senate and passed that body by a very large majority. One was also introduced into the House by the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, and passed that body. The two bills went into the hands of a Committee of Free Conference, and that committee handed them to the editor of this paper, with the request that he make from both the best bill possible to provide for the payment of the State stocks, and preserve the honor and reputation of the State. The present law, which has paid off the debt of the State preserved her honor an 1 good fame lessened the expenses of the school fund, and put the greater part of that sacred fund where it is forever safe and forever drawing interest, is the result. The Legislature passed this bill, just as it came fiom our hands, by an overwhelming majority. Every man in the State knows how popular that law has been ever since. It has met the approbation of both parties, and been claimed as the offspring of both. It has, in less than five years paid off the debt of the State and left a surplus in the Treasury.

Undqr the operations of this law Iudiana stocks advauced, and we sold. That is all there is in the

{itwo

and a half per cents." Was there anything wroiig in that? Would not any business man have done the same thing? The State did not Jiave to pay one farthing more to redeem these stocks because we had ouce owned them. Our dealing in them did not cost the people one ceut. It was only a question whether some Wall street man should pocket this advance, or we should. Tlif State redeemed her stocks dollar for dollar, 110 more, no less.

We now put the question to the Sentinel and the Sentinel's friends, where, in our entire connection with the purchase and sale of Indiana two and a half per cent. State stocks, was there anythingmorully, politically, financially or legally wrong? If the editor knows, will he be kind enough to point it out

If the State debt law of 1866 was a bad law, and ought not to have passed* then we have committed a wrong in our advocacy of it. If the people of the State ever lost one single cent by reason ofthejpassageof that bill, then we stand prepared to refund to the Treasury that, or any other number qf cents.

We have thought it advisable to say thus much in reply to the Sentinel'squestion, and from the fact that we have before heard this matter referred to, by others as illy informed in relation to the circumstauces of this case, as the editor of the 1Sentinel himself. We have only this much to add: We defy the editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel, or the editor ofauy other paper, or any officer in this State or out of it, to bring one siugle charge against our official conduct as Agent of State, which was not both right and proper in good morals and in law. We defy the editor or auy one else, to sustain one single allegation against us in relation to the Indiana two and a half per cent State stocks, Qf any other- stocks, which was not both right, proper and legal. We not only defy them, but we dare them to the issue iu any court in this State or out q{it, or befofe auy tribunal of meu of

either party, and of their own selection.

Come,

.gentlemen, make your insinuations good, or cease talking about a matter of which you seem to be so illy posted.

Will the Indianapolis Sentinel give this article the publicity it has its question?

T. H. & Cin. R. R.

From the map in to-day's issue, the reader can have a very clear idea of the route taken by the Terre Haute & Cincinnati Railroad. It will be seen that it runs through a large portion of the block coal fields, and directly over the fine stone quarries of Owen and Monroe counties. It is also a shorter route to Cincinnati by near forty miles, tb^n any other road. This is a great and important fact, and one hardly to be estimated in its consequences to our city.*It also runs through much of the richest portions of Indiana, fifty miles of which can be drawn to this city, as its market.

Since the building of the first road to Terre Haute, there has been no other one of such importance to all our material interests, as this one. It opens to us new fields of enterprise, and other ave nues of industry. It is a road that will be prosecuted wittvenergy until finally completed. The gentlemen under whose management it is, are experienced rail road men, and large finaucers.

On Saturday the first lettings were had, and ten miles of the road starting from this city, was letto responsible meu. That it will be completed as soon as possible, there can be no doubt. Cincinnati is now looking to this road, and taking an interest in it, and soon we will hear the cry, "All aboard on-the short-line to Cincinnati."

INDIANA'S SCHOOLS.

An Excellent System of Comprehensive and Free Institutions. TERRE HAUTE, NOV. 22.

Whatever may be said derogatory to the State of Indiana in regard to her divorce laws, her rings for public plunder, and other short-comings, there is one thing to which she may well poiut with pride aud satisfaction, and that is.her systenj of public schools.

The Constitution of the State declares "that it shall be the duty of the General Assembly to encourage, by all suitable means, moral, intellectual, scientific and agricultural improvement, and to provide for a general and uniform system of common schools wherein tuition shall be without charge and equally open to all.' It then sets apart for school purposes the congressional-township funds and the lands belonging thereto, the surplus revenue fund, the saline fund, the bank-tax fund and the fund arising from fines and forfeitures.

I11 the year 1865, the Legislature, under the requirement of the Constitution, passed an act for the organization and government of the public schools of the State. By this act these schools are all placed in charge of teachers selected by an examiner in each county, and licensed according to their qualifications, from terms varying from six to twenty-four months. They are open to all persons between the ages of six and twenty-one years, and, besides the funds alluded to, are supported by an annual tax ofsixteen cents on each one hundred dollars' worth of property, real and personal, and fifty cents on each taxable poll.

Each civil township in the several counties of the State is made a distinct municipal corporation for school purposes, and theTrustees of such townships School Trustees, with power to control the fund coming to said township a'nd the school property belonging thereto. At the head of the whole system is the Superintendent of Public Instruction, who has a supervisory control of^ll the educational interests of the Commonwealth.

It is not so much my intention, however, in this letter to enter into a discription of the public schools of. the State at large, as to refer, somewhat in detail, to those of this city.

While Terre Haute may well point with pride to her many advantages over other cities of the State, there is nothing of which she may more justly boast than her thoroughly systematized and admirably conducted public schools. This, for the most part, is .owing to the energetic and conscientious discharge of the responsible and arduous duties devolving upon the worthy aud efficient Superintendent, W. H. Wiley. Nothing is left undone by him to render the system thorough and complete in all its parts, and his labors to this end have been rewarded with the most abundant and gratifying success.

Besides the Normal School building, erected by the State at a cost of nearly $200,000, there are seven public school edifices, at which are now daily taught nearly three thousaud children. These children are in the charge of fifty-three teachers, all females, with the exception of seven.

A more laborious and efficient corps of educators can be found nowhere iu the country. They are all ^ully alive to their duty, and enthusiastic workers in its discharge. In the visits: which I have paid to these schools, nothing has struck me so forcibly as the thoroughness with which everything is done. What Is learned is learned well. There is no hurrying through work, for effect—no cramming. The main object seems to be to advance the studeuts as rapidly as possible, but in doing so to be certain that the progress made by him is a real aud not a fictitious one.' This I regard as a great and important improvement on the plan adopted iu many of the schools and colleges of this and other States, where the number of books studied, rather than theamouut of information gained, seems to be the main object of those in charge of these institutions.

Every month a teachers' meeting is he'd for the purpose of comparing notes and discussing questions connected with the work in which the members are engaged. These meetings are presided over by the Superintendent, aud are always attended with interest and profit to those present.

Besides the public schools for the purpose of educating the children of the city we have the Normal School, in which persons desirous of becoming teachers are inducted free of charge. The building is a very fine one, erected by the State with the assistance of the city, and cost in

the

neighborhood of two hundred

thousaud dollars, as before stated. This institution is presided over by Prof. W. A. Jones, an accomplished educator from our adjoining State, Illinois.

Prof. Joues has seven assistants, all experienced in their respective departments. Those graduating in the Normal School are expected to teach two years iu the public schools.

Connected with the Normal School are two model private schools, into which those studying in the Normal School are regularly brought, that they may see the manner in which children are instructed by those thoroughly versed in the business.

At present there are ninety persons preparing themselves for teachees at this institution. These, as they pass muster, scatter throughout the different counties, and add very materially to the promotion of the educational interests of the State. Both our city and State may well be proud of our Normal school.., J.

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 madMlo 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 («oods Houses

We propose to test the question by challenging any two of our competitors to com bine their recent daily sales and

COMPARE THEM THUS C0MDINED WITH OURS,

Each firm to make affidavit to thccorrectness of the amount of sales reported, and to permit inspection of any or all of their books that the committee may desire to examine 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, Greater than the Sales of any Two of
