Additional Local News.

A NEW ESTABLISHMENT.—A Cincinnati firm proposes to establish a boot and shoe store in the room formerly occupied by Nippert as a dry poods store. The firm represents capital and enterprise, and we can bespeak for them success, commensurate with enterprise and advertising skill.

As TIIE holidays approach juvenile solicitude as to the coming ofSanta Claus becomes more and more apparent, while their anxious questions multiply, and not over indulgent parents exclaim: "Go away child, and don't be asking so many foolish questions." Parents must not forget that they were once children, and were fully,if not more solicitous of Santa's safety as their own children at the present time.

THE alarm of fire at 1 o'clock to-day was caused by the burning of a frame house on Third street, north of Chestnut, owned by Geo. Ilayward and occupied by Culpepper Lee. The house was badly damaged furniture all saved. Insured in the Phoenix, of Hartford, for enough to cover loss. The engines were on the ground promptly and did good work, and the firemen deserve great credit, for had they been a few moments later, or worked with less determination, we would have had an extensive fire to chronicle.

A SUGGESTION.—J. W. Foster, L. L. D., a Geologist, of Chicago, and possessing a national reputation as such, is in the city. He is making a careful inspection of the mineral resources of this and more southern portions of Indiana, with a view of ascertaining the resources of said localities, in the way of block coal for smelting iron. The Doctor is a man of vast research and inhaustible information, and we would suggest that if such arrangements can be satisfactorily made, it would be a good idea for him to give a lecture in this city soon.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.—In the telegraphic columns of the GAZETTE of this date will be found a synopsis of the President's Message, by the American Press Association, received over the P. & A. Telegraph Line. The Message was not delivered by the President until this noon, and in consequence it being impossible for afternoon papers to set up the full report, we give our readers a synopsis of the voluminous document.

This is the first time a full synopsis of the President's Message was ever furnished tho people of Terre Haute on the same day of its delivery at Washington. Still we progress

THE COURTS.—The Civil Circuit Court, Hon. C. Y. Patterson presiding, convened this morning, but has transacted no business of general interest up to the time of our going to press.

The Common Pleas Court, Hon. J. T. Scott, Judge, will convene ou the 18th inst., pursuant to previous adjournment.

The Criminal Court, Hon. T. B. Long presiding, convened this morning, pursuant to previous adjournment. The Court instructed the Grand Jury and adjourned for tho mouth.

All is quiet in the Court of His Honor the Mayor and those of the Justices of the Peace.

A WORTHY APPOINTMENT.—Mr. Geo. Penn, for the last three years connected with the American Express Company, as assistant in the office in this city, and two years as messenger on various roads, has been appointed a freight conductor on the Terre Haute & Chicago Railroad, and will run through from this city to Danville and return. George is a most worthy youug man, possessing those noble qualities of heart aud mind so essential to the successful business man. May success attend him in his new position, as it ever has in whatever other positions he has held, and all will le well with him and those whom he represents.

MATRiMONial.—Yesterday evening Miss Minnie Strouse became Mre. John Kuppenheimer, at the residence of the handsome bride's father, in this city, Rev. M. Messiug, of iHdianapolis, officiating.

Who is the prominent member of the Torre Haute bar announced as contemplating committing matrimony at Indianapolis? We have heard this question asked several times recently, and must confess that we don't know.

On the 2S ult., Miss Ella Burton, of Eureka, and Mr. S. A. Marley, of Mattoon, 111., were married at the residence of the bride's mother, near the former city, Rev. J. M. S'rcator, of the latter city, officiating. The beautiful young bride is a sister of Mrs. Rev. B. B. Tyler, of this city, and will be remembered by uiauy as having visited this city last spring. We don't kuow the happy

TBRRE HAUTE

groom, but lie is a lucky feilow iu securing so amiable and pretty a wife, for we do know her.

THE DIFFERENCE.—The magnificent Sixth street show window of the Buckeye Cash Store, is badly shattered by the excessive and sudden cold of last night. It presents a worse spectacle than did the mammoth mirror of the same establishment ou the first of last April—just after the manager and book-keeper hail surveyed their handsome and stunning physiognomies in the same attended with the most crushing results to the glass. Upon that occasion, however, we learned from a close inspection that the soap which should have been applied to their faces, was used in making a false impression on the glass, which is not the case this time, and that's the difference.

PERSONAL.—Mrs. McKee Rankin left this city last evening, en route to Detroit, Michigan. The company left Saturday night, immediately after the close of their last entertainment, and will appear inQuincy, Illinois, this evening. They traveled hence via. the Indianapolis & St. Louis, Springfield, Illinois & Southeastern, and the Toledo, Wabash & Western railroads.

Mr. Samuel E. Stokes and lady, arrived in the city Saturday evening, and are the guests of their nephews the Messrs. Walmsley Brothers. Mr. S. is one of t'ne most prominent dry goods merchants of Philadelphia, and is a delegate to the Board of Trade from that city, to the general convention of Boards of Trade at St. Louis, this week. They will meet the party, who pa-s through here to-morrow, who go through in a special car over the Vandalia line.

Rev. B. W. Smith, of Indianapolis, but formerly of this city, preached at the Centenary Church yesterday morning and evening.

Hon. John Schofield of Marshall, Illinois, was in the city Saturday evening, and stopped at the Terre Haute House.

T. II. Barr, Esq., has gone to Indianapolis to spend a couple of weeks. Mr. Horace B. Jones has charge of his immense business interests during his absence.

Give ua Light.

Will the editors of the GAZETTE "rise to explain" what it is necessary for us to do in order to secure the establishment in our city of the works of the Manhattan Sewing Machine Company? We want these works, and must, if possible, have them. How shall they be obtained? How shall we make it appear to this company that their interests will be advanced by coming among us? I have sometimes thought that some member of our Council might immortalize himself, by introducing in*.o that body a measure by which companies, like the one referred to above, might be encouraged to establish works in our city. Fifty thousand dollars, or even a hundred thousand dollars, might with proper restrictions, be profitably appropriated to assist in the building of eight or ten large manufactories among us. They would bring thousands of workmen with the families to reside here, and would cause our city to grow with a rapidity heretofore not dreamed of. In this way our expenditure would be paid back to us a score of times within ten years. The next decade is to decide what Terre Haute is to be in the future. Plant now in our midst by a little judicious expenditure a half dozen such manufactories as that of this sewing machine company, each of which would pay out yearly, a quarter of a million of dollars to their employees and it would soon give us such a prominence as a manufacturing center that many similar works would spring up without any effort to secure them upon our part.

We have received several numbers of a very valuable publication entitled Oood Health, which, from notiug its excellent contents, we are assured is what its name indicates, as it contains invaluable instructions to the sick aud the afflicted not only, but those who are iu the enjoyment of very good health.

RAILROAD PERSONALS.

Through trains run to Chicago over the T. H. &C. Railroad. Trains on time this morning, notwithstanding the state of the rail.

W. B. Tuell has been elected President of the T. H. & S. W. Railroad. "The right man in the right place."

Jerome C. Burnett, ex-first assistant to the late Auditor of State, has returned from Iudianapolis to this city, and accepted a position on the Terre Haute & Cincinnati Railroad.

The Iudianapolis & St. Louis Railroad makes close connection with the Springfield, Illinois & Southeastern Railroad to Springfield, Illinois, and all parts northwestward, and withal is a very important connection for the traveling public.

Several things in Ine matter of railroad conveniences, are bady needed in this city, among which area Union depot and a general up-town ticket office. If railroad companies could but unite in their interests it would be better for all concerned.

This morning at half-past eight o'clock Messrs. Burnett, resident Director, Fisher, Chief Engiueerand other gentleman, left the city in carriages, en route to a point near Lockport, to inaugurate the building of the Terre Haute (^Cincinnati Railroad.

Mr. Burnett is to throw up the first dirt to "show the boys how its done," you know. Then he will surrender his little shovel to other and more experienced hands, and return to his first love, the postoffice. This will be a very inauspicious day, but it is an evidence that the ardor of the management of this proposed new and beneficial line cannot be cooled by the state of an atmosphere that freezes out everything else. Success to the new road, and its management.

DEATH ON THE RAIL.

Two Fatal Railroad Tragedies.

Two Men Killed and One Man aisd Woman Seriously Wonnded.

It seems that there is not a day passes of late, without some horrible tragedy on the rail, when not only destruction to property isimmense, but where human life is sacrificed. Another fact is that many of such accideuts are occasioned by criminal carelessness, though oftener than otherwise not by the employees of the train doing the mischief. In support of these assertions,we give the following from the Iudianapolis Journal of this morning:

Last evening about five o'clock a frightful accident occurred on the "Bee Line" road, at a point six miles out from this city. A party consisting of Thomas O'Connell, section boss, his wife, Miko Murphy, John O'Sullivan, John Driscoll and Mike Keating, laborers, left this city on a hand car for Lanesville, where they were at work, and where O'Connell and his wife live. There were three extra freights coming in, of which the party knew nothing, and no care was taken to see that the track was clear. Just at dusk, while a drizzling rain was falling that prevented them from seeing far, the first of the freights appeared iu sight, and before the hand car could be stopped, dashed into it. Tho result was fearful. O'Connell was killed outright being so mangled as to be scarcely recognizable. Mrs. O'Connell's back was broken, besides which she sustained other injuries. Mike Murphy had his jaw broken, and his skull crushed iu several places. The injuries of the two wounded persons are such that their recovery is almost an impossibility.

The remains of O'Connell were tpken home, and his wife was also removed there, and she is now receiving the best medical attendance. Murphy, who is an unmarried man, was brought to the 'Surgical Institute in this city, where his wounds were dressed. When our repprter visited him at midnight he was unconscious, and the Doctors said he would hardly live the night through. The Coroner will hold an inquest to-day, when the blame, if any there be, will be fastened upon him to vvhom it belongs.

And the following from the Terre Haute Journal, same date, as it embodies all our own information of the tragedy

A terrible and fatal railroad accident occurred on the Indianapolis »fc St. Louis Railroad near Fountain Station, in Nevins township, about 10 o'clock last Saturday night. It appears that a young man named Lambert had been drinking freely at a saloon in that place and became quite intoxicated. In this condition he started for his home just before ten o'clock, taking the railroad track. When about one-half mile this side of Fountain Station he was struck by tho passenger train coming West, and the entire train passed over him, literally tearing his body into shreds!

Our informant saj-s the terrible occurrence was not discovered until Sunday morning, when a brother of the deceased found the victim's coat on the road and on looking further discovered fragments of the poor fellow's body

The Coroner was sent for, who gathered up the human pieces over which he held an inquest, the jury returning a verdict in accordance with the facts.

The "Muskegon."

An elegant Pullman palace sleeping car, named the "Muskegon," will beheie either to-day or to-morrow, to be attached to the through night train on the St. Louis Railroad, which leaves at 10:30 P. M. Monday. These sleeping coaches will be run regularly both ways every night, w'hlfch will be a great convenience to those traveling over the road. The coaches on all the trains have the Miller platform and coupling, making a continuous platform, precluding the possibility of falling between the cars, and all passenger trains will be fitted with the Westinghouse air brake. A change of time will go into effect on the E., H. & N. R. R., enabling that road to make close bonnections with trains from St. Louis. OD the aarival of the Nashville express at 10 P. M., the train will descend the hill to the wharfboat, transfer the passengers to the Fayette, when they will be immediately taken to Henderson, connecting with the train for Nashville, thus making the shortest aud most direct route from St. Louis to Nashville, as well as the quickest—about thirteen hours. Trains will begin running regularly on Monday.— Evansvitle Courier.

Sumner's Plan for the Resumption of Specie Payment.

&c.

WASHINGTON, November 4.—The President refers to the generally successful execution of the laws, the policy not being to inquire into their wisdom, but to leave time to develop their intent aud wisdom. Disasters by storm and fire in this country have developed friendship on the part of foreign nations, and the donors will receive the thanks of the men, women and children whose sufferings they have relieved. Two countres speaking the same language, have made a treaty, an ex ample to be followed by other civilized nations, and finally be the means of turning to productive industv millions of men now maintained to settle the dis putes of nations by the sword and bay onet.

Provision is recommended for the Com mission which is to meet at Geneva, and legislation is recommended to bring into practical effect the question in the treaty affecting fishermen and maritime dis putes.

The Governors of New York, Penns3'lvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois have been requested to take part iu measures in the treaty, which determines the use of the canals by the uses of Great Britain. A true boundary line between the United States and the British North American possessions, is urged. He recommends the modification of the tariff and internal revenue, and that taxes from internal sources be abolished, except as to liquors and tobacco, and these be the subject of a stamp duty.

Our relation with foreign countries is discussed, with the new relation in Italy. A Commission has been appointed to adjudicate the claims of Amer. icans against Spain, and hope is expressed that the Commission will be successful.

The visit of Alexis is referred to as evidence of the continued friendly relations with Russia. The inexcusable conduct of the Russian Minister rendered his dismissal a matter of self-respect after his personal abuse of the Government officials and his persistent interference in the affairs between this and other countries. His place has been filled by a gentleman who is not objectionable to this Government.

Our relations with Japan are amicable, also with all the Eastern countries. The difficulty with Corea is referred to Congress. The Republic of Mexico has not yet repealed the free zone law, and the hope is expressed that Mexico will adopt measures soon to stop the lawlessness on the border. Congress is urged to press the claims for overdue awards of the Venezuela Government for 1866.

Our relations with Brazil will be more cordial since the decree of the Emanipation by that country, and regret is expressed that Spain has not followed in the same direction in her possessions.

It is to be regretted that the disturbed condition of Cuba is a source of annoyance and anxiety. Our naval commanders in Cuban waters^ have been instructed to spare no efforts.' to protect the lives and property of American citizens, and maintain the dignity of our flag.

The National debt has been reduced $86,57,826,80 during this year, and now the interest accrued is nearly $17,000,000 less than on the 1st of March, 1869.

But it is not desirable that the present resources of the country should continue to be taxed in order to continue this now rapid payment. I recommend all taxes for internal sources be abolished, except those for spirituous, vineous and malt liquors, tobacco, in its various forms, for stamps. In readjusting the tariff, articles not preduced at home are recommended for the free list, and in case of a further reduction it should be upon articles which can best bear it without disturbinghome productions.

The present laws for the collection of taxes, with small salaries for Collector's, induces fraud, and should be remedied. Under the act of March 3, 1869, each grade in' the staff corps should be taxed, iu order to enable vacancies to be filled from the same grade.

The navy is iu an efficient condition, without an increase on the cost of maintaining.

A union of the postal and telegraph systems is recommended. Education is urged as the groundwork of Republican institutions.

The Ku Klux laws have been enforced in a portion of South Carolina, and the necessity is shown by the Committee sent to investigate Southern outrages. The power was exercised reluctantly, but a careful examination proved the existence of powerful combinations to deprive the emancipated cfass of the substantial benefit of freedom and of pre-: venting the free political action of those who did not sympathize with their views. The details are given of these outrages.

In Utah a remnantof barbarism repugnant to civilization, to decency, and the laws, still exists. It is not with tb© regime of the Saints that we deal, but with their practice. They will not be permitted to violate the laws under the cloak of religion. Iu future legislation the statutes of the plurality of wives and children must be considered and an act will be passed to protect legitimate children born prior to the time fixed in the act.

The Indian policy has resulted favors-

ble, and many tribes have been induced to settle upon reservations. The peace policy is recommended, because it is right. The retention of land for actual settlers is again recommended.

As six years have elapsed since the close of the war, it may be considered whether it is not now time the disabilities imposed by the Fourteenth Amendment should be relieved. Wheu purity of the ballot is secured, majorities are sure to elect officers reflecting the views of the majority.

I do not see the advantage or propriety of executing men from office merely because they Were before the rebellion standing and character sufficient to be elected to positions requiring them to take oaths to support the Constitution aud admitting to eligibility those enter taming precisely the same views, but of less standing in their communities.

It may be said the former violated an oath, while the other did not have it in their power to do so. If they had taken this oath, it cannot be doubted that they would have broken it as did the former class. If there are any great criminals distinguished above all others for the part they took in opposition to the Government, they might, in the judgment of Congress, be excluded from such amnesty, unless the condition ot the South is not such as all patriotic citizens could desire. It will be a happy condition of the country when the old citizens of these States will take an interest in public affairs and to tolerate the same freedom of expression and ballot, and in those entertaining different convictions.

A liberal appropriation is recommended to the District of Columbia, to aid more improvements. The erection of public buildings in Chicago is urged, and laws to protect emigrants are suggested

The administration has sought to secure honest officials, and if any dishonest ones have appeared, it is the fault of the system of making appointments. The Civil Service Reform is endorsed as cal eulated to secure the best men. The works of the present Commissioner are expected to produce good results.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—Ex-U. S. District Attorney Courtney distinctly denies that he has been appointed succcessor to Wm. Tweed in the Department of Public Works.

Mr. Connolly not having secured the balance of his bail, remained in Ludlow street jail yesterday. He was visited by Mrs. Connolly and his counsel, besides a large number of friends.

The Internationalists of New York met yesterday at Keuter's Hall, corner of Brown and Forsythe streets, for the purpose of reorganization. After considerable wrangling, they appointed officers for the various sections, and made arrangements for a popular street demonstration next Sunday against Thiers, the murderer of Rossell and other brave Cummunists.

The Tribune's Washington special says Senator Sumner intends to introduce tomorrow a new bill to facilitate the return to specie payments. His plan is to issue every month ten millions of Internal Treasury legal tender notes similar to those issued in 1863 and 1864, and to cancel the like amount of greenbacks. The process to go on till all the greenbacks are thus replaced. The new notes he proposes shall bear five per cent, interest and shall be paid in coin at the end of three years, or converted into five per cent, bonds, at the option of the Government.

By this means, Sumner thinks, resumption could be reached without shock to business or serious disturbance of prices. Sumner's plan has the approval of many eminent financiers, bankers and businessmen of New England.

ItNvas the intention of the Southern Claims Commission to resume their session about the latter part of this month, shortly after submitting their report to Congress, but owing to the mass of testimony unwritten from tho short-hand notes, the evidence can not be got into shape up to the date of the proposed meeting, in December, consequently the recess of the Commission will be prolonged until the middle of January 1872.

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—A handsome brick church belonging to the United Presbyterians, was dedicated yesterday in the East Division. A rude board structure has been erected on the, ruius of Grace M. E. church in the North Division, costing $2,000. It was also dedicated. Every member of the church lost his home in the fire, but many have already returned and rebuilt.

About four inches of snow fell last night weather very cold this morning. Bricklaying and building generally will be almost entirely stopped to-day.

NEWARK, N. J., Dec. 4.—A desperate affray occurred yesterday in the saloon of Nicholas Holyer, between the proprietor and a man named John Strange, in which the latter was so terribly beaten aud kicked by Holyer that he is not expected to survive. Holyer was arrested, and his wife, who is also implicated, will be arrested to-day.
