FOR GOVERNOR IX 1&72,

Washington C. De Pauw,

OF FLOYD t'OUSTY.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1871.

The President's Message.

We read the President's message with care and much interest, and really it affords us pleasure to be able to speak in complimentary terms of it. It is a plain, straightforward document, presenting the facts which the President desires to bring to the attention of Congress in an unrhetorical and common-sense way. In many respects we like it very much, and take it altogether do not dislike it seriously. What he says in the following paragraph in relation to Cuba, is well said

It is to' be regretted that the disturbed condition of tbo Island of Cuba continues to bo a source of annoyance and of anxicty. The oxistonco of a protractcd strugulo'in such close proximity to our own territory without apparent prospect of an early termination cannot be other than an object of concern to a people who, while abstaining from interference in tbo affairs of other

powers,

naturally desire to see

every country in the undisturbed enjoyment of peace, liborty and the blessing of froe institutions.

Our naval commanders in Cuban waters have been instructed, in case it should become necessary, to spare no ellort to protect the lives and property of bona fide American citizens, and to maintain the dignity of the flag. It is hoped that all

their treatinont of such ques­

tion powers in lions."

This will meet the approbation of the lovers of freedom and free institutions everywhere, and we hope that Congiess, actuated by the feelings which prompted

President to write the above, will mediate action in relation to this

the take im matter.

Upon the question of the national debt, the President uses the following language: "The National debt has been reduced to the extent of $80,057,120.80during the year and bv tho negotiation of the national bonds at a lower rate of intcrost, tho interest on the public debt has been so far diminished that now the sum to be raised for the intorost account is noarly $17,000,000 loss than on tho 1st March, was highly desirable that this rapid munition should take placo, both strengthen tho credit of tho coumry and convince its citizens of their entire ability

It

di-

b'oth to

tho country, its increasing ability to moot lariio demands, and tho amount already paid it is not desirable that tho present resourcos of tho country should continuo to bo taxed in order to continuo this rapid payment."

This is a wise conclusion of the President. There never was any necessity for this rapid payment of the public debt, unless it was to impress the unthoughted that tho Secretary of Treasury was a groat financier, and that the administiation was exercising masterly financial ability in paying such large amounts before duo, and when the people were already oppressed with heavy burdens, llie President's reasons for it are not good, and we are glad at last he has discovered tho necessity of stopping this unnecessary reduction of this debt at this time, and thereby lifting from tho shoulders of the people the weight of taxation which has so long and so heavily oppressed them. Over and repeatedly have we said, in the columns of the GAZKTTE, that the monthly exhibits of the Secretary of the Treasury, showing a payment of from two to six millions of the principal of the national debt, was an exhibition of tho want of a financial policy and a grievous oppression on a people who had just come out of a long and exhuasting war. The entire ability thus evinced by Mr. Boutwell consisted In taxing the people so heavily that the National Treasury was filled to overflowing, and then taking the surplus and redeeming some of the bonds of the Government with it—a financial policy which should have resigned him to the shades of private life long ago. We are glad the President's eyes have at last been opened to this monstrous oppression, and that ho is now opposed to continuing this "rapid payment."

We pass over all the remainder of the mesege until we eome to the following, most important part of it:

More than six years having elapsed since tho last hostile gun was tired between the armies then arrayed against each—the one for tho perpetuation, tho other for the destruction of tho Union. It mav well bo considered whether it is not now time that the disabilities imposed by tho Fourteooth Amendment should be lemoved That amendment does not exclude tho ballot, but only requires tho disability to hold office of certain classes. When tho purity of tho ballot, is secure, majorities are sure to elect officers reflecting tho views of tho majority. I do not see tho advantage or propriety of excluding men from office merely that they were, before the rebellion, of standing and character sufficient to be olected to positions requiring them to take au oath to support tho Constitution, and admitting to eligibility those entertaining precisely the same views, but of less standing i'n thoir communities. It mav bo said that tho former violated au oatli, while the latter did not. The latter did not have it in their power to do so. If thev had taken this oath it can not bo doubted they would have broken it, as did the lormer class. If there are any irreat criminals distinguished above all others for the part they took in opposition to the Government, they

ln

the

judgment of Congress, be excluded from Bach an amnesty. The subjoct is submitted for your careful consideration. Tho condition of tho Southern Stat«s is unhappily not such as all true patriotic citizens would like to see. Social ostracism for opinion's sake, persoual violence or threats toward persons entertaining political views opposed to those entertained by the majority of the old oitisens, prevents immigra®

tion and the flow of much needed capital into the States lately in rebellion. It will be a happy condition of the country when the old citizens of these States will take an interest in pnblic affairs, promulgate ideas honestly entertained, vote for men representing their views, and permit the same freedom of expression and ballot in those entertaining different political convictions.

At last, after "more than six years having elapsed since the last hostile gun was fired," the President of the United States is in favor of amnesty. How much better it would have been, had a general amnesty been proclaimed six years ago, can hardly be imagined. Had General Grant, even when he first came into power, recommended the removing of all disabilities Imposed on American citizens who, when they laid down their arms were promised the protection of the general government, and had the Congress of the United States acted on so wise a recommendation, there would never have been a Ku Klux organization, nor a necessity for a Ku Klux law, or a suspension of the great writ of habeas corpus in any section of this country, in times of peace. It was a terrible political blunder to have continued the disabilities of the Fourteenth Amendment one year after the war closed yea, one hour after the last rebel had surrendered to the Federal authority. You can not force great communities of men whohaveonce been free, to become good citizens. You can never force into the heart of an American citizen a genuine love for his country, by imposing on him heavy burdens, and making his oppression great, but you must create that strong patriotic attachment, by relieving his burdens and taking off all governmental oppressions

This great axiom in the nature of au American, never seems to have been understood by those extreme men who have, since the war closed, in a great measure controlled the legislation of the country. The trite maxim that, "you may lead a horse to water, but you can not make him drink," seems never to have been comprehended by them.

At last, however, the President has received light enough poured into his understanding by the increasing troubles of six years in the Southern States, to recommend that the leading men there be American citizent in fact, rather than merely in name. We welcome General Grant on this advance ground, and will help to hold up his hands and cry aloud for battle, until Congress complies with this Christian, manly, statesmanlike recommendation.

The message strongly recommends the civil service reform. We are only sorry the last three years of President Grant's administration did not also run in that direction. The whole country demands reform in its civil service. Had the present administration pressed reform in the civil service, millions would already have been saved to the country. But we are glad to find the President, though late, taking a decided stand in favor of this important measure, and hope he will continue to advance in enlighten sentiments, until himself, and the men who lead in his administration catch up with those more enlightened and unprejudiced men of the Ilepublicau party, who have for years advocated many of the measures now so warmly recommended by the President, and we hope soon to be adopted by Congress.

The State Suits.

We take the following from the Indianapolis Journal of this morning, and we are sorry to see our old friend Tom McCarty, taking any steps to have the case against him settled in any way, but by a fair, full, and complete investigation before a jury of his peers. The Journal says:

In tho superior Court yesterday morning, tho suits against the State officials were called for motions, and in Judge Hhiir's room, whore tho case against Hon. T. 15. McCarty was under consideration, tho following motion to strike from tho dockct was submitted: "The Stato of Indiana ex. rel. Hanna, Attorney Genoral, vs. Thomas B»McCarty, et. al. motion to strike tho caso from socket."

Tho defendants in tho abovo entitled cause hereby outer by thoir attorneys, a special appearance in this cause, and move to strnco the same from the dockot of this Couri, and assign tho following grounds for thoir said motion, to-wit 1. Because the said Hanna has not power, or authority by law, to institute and prosecute said causo, or any cause of action whatever, in behalf of the State of Indiana upou his relation as Attorney Genoral for said State. 2. Because tho said abovo entitled causo was commenced and is being prosecuted by tho said llanna without tho advice, approval, or consent of Hon. Conrad Baker, Governor of tho Stato of Indiana. Whcreforo tho defendants, by their attornevs, move tho Court to strike said causo" from the docket of this Court.

MCDONALD, BUTLER MCDONALD, WM. MCCARY, W. H. ENGLISH, MORROW A TRUSSLER,

Attorneys for Defendants.

Tho motion was supported by an affidavit of Mr. McCarty, to the effect that tho latter ground was true as a matter of fact. The motion will be argued this morning upon the arrival of Hon. B. W. Hanna, from Terre Haute, which will bo about 10 o'clock."

We have all the time understood that Gov. Baker had given his consent and approval of the prosecution of these suits. We have understood this from the Attorney General himself, and we are .s»ti.-fied that Governor Baker has given him ruas.»n to think so. If, however, the Governor of the State intends to with hold his approval, he must be sure he has the best of both moral and legal grounds for doing it. No man, no di Here nee how popular he may be, can stand erect for one moment, in the face of the people of this State, who places one impediment in the way of a full investigation of the charges made against those ex-offi-cers. If, theu, there are good legal reasons for not commencing these suits, then of course they ought not to be commenced but if not, no amount of quibbling can close the eyes of the people, as to the reasons for the quibbling, or who the quibbler is.

THE New York Tribune'* documentary exposure of the "Shoddy Collector," Tom Murphy, made ou Thanksgiving day, is simply crushing. The effusive indorsement of this person by the President will not «ave him from contempt. It Is proven that Murphy was a defaulter to the Government, and an unfaithful politician, both tricky and treacherous, as well as corrupt, and a partner in the real estateswindlingspecuiations of the Tammauy Ring. Evidence, says the Tribune, has

receutly

come to light which proves

him to be a

defaulter

ernment, of over $540,000. This evidence is submitted in full. As to the delay in procuring this evidence, the Tribune says: "Whoever has, in the face of powerful official influences, sought for evidence which he kuew to be in existence, against those high in authority, can comprehend at once the difficulty and the delay. We deeply deplore the fact that one of the noblest traits in our President's character, which makes him instinctively stand by his friends the most heartily when they seem most to need his friendship, has in this instance been unconsciously perverted into the defense of a criminal. But, gladly as we sustain, whenever we can, the President we helped to elect, we cannot forget the higher allegiance to pure government which the Tribune has faithfully kept."—

Four Evils.—Whoever habitually uses any alcoholic preparations as au "appetizer" will be likely to suffer from four evils, viz.: an overplus or food in the stomach, impaired ability to digest it, the pangs of dyspepsia, and a doctor's bill. DR. WALKER'S VEGETABLE VINEGAR BITTERS, the great Teetotal Restorative of the age, without over stimulating the palate of irritating the stomach, imparts a healthful appetite, promotes digestion, regulates the liver and bowels, purifies the blood, and thus, instead of entailing four evils, confers four inestimable benefits. 6dw4w

DRY GOODS,

Our citizens are familiar witli the claims put forth by certain of our competitors to being tlie "leading House," "Tlie Great IIeai quarters," tlie "Cliief Emporium," Ae. Some go so far as to assert in so many words, that their sales arc larger than any other Dry Goods house 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 tlian tliose of Any Two Other Dry Goods Houses

We propose to test the question by challenging any two of our competitors to com

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 peoplo, that our sales have increased so rapidly as now to be, wo believe, Greater than the Sales of any Two of
