FOR GOVERNOR IX 1872,

Washington C. De Pauw,

OP FI,OTD COUNTY.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7,1871.

IT turns out that Gen. Crook, not Governor Salford, is the officer to whom belongs the credit of originating the plan of employing the friendly Indians as a force to fight the hostile Apaches. Governor Safl'ord himself, in a letter to the Alta California, says: "Gen. Crook struck the keynoto when he enlisted Indians against Indians. It threw consternation among thorn such as was never seen before, and had he been allowed to pursue this policy it would Lave taken but few months to conquer a lasting peace. But Mr. Colyer countermanded this order, and millions will have to bo expended and hundreds of lives lost before tlio end will be reached."

humane philosophers who have

been appointed by the President to take care ot the poor Indians, seem determined to forget

the

precise condition that

these unfortunate people occupy towards their surroundings. Like all inferior races that have ever lived, when brought into direct contact with a superior race, they are fust dying out—receding before their superior brothers. If Mr. Colyer can slop this, he is more than mortal. If he succeeds in civilizing savages, he will do what has never been done before. He may .somewhat alleviate their suflei ings, but it will require ages to make them love the habits of civilized man. Their mental and moral natures must, by long years of progress, become entirely changed,before this can be accomplished. With the superior Anglo-AnuM ican surrounding him, the Indian will become extinct, before this can be done. It is inevitable. Mr. Lo must give way

for

Mr.

Whiteman. There is no Christianity in il, but there is history, and that is quite as satisfactory. When there will be no con diet, between the red man and the white man, is just when there are no red men left. But until then there will be wars and rumors of war. YVhenthelast of the native Americans, and his squaw and pnppoose, standing on the confines of civilization, feel in their hearts

the

cold

lead of the Christians bullet, and breathe their last breath, then will the hostility between the races cease—but not until then.

Wis find the following in the Indianapolis Journal of this morning: "The motion of T. B. McCarty to dismiss the suit brought against him by Attorney General Hanna, on the ground aheady published, commenced before Judge J'.lair, of the Superior Court, yesterday. Messrs. Butler, McDonald and Gordon spoke for the defense, and W. 11. Harrison for the State. The aruunient will be resumed this morning, Messrs. Taylor and Clnypool for the State, and Wm. McCarty for the defense, to speak yet,

During Major Gordon's argument yesterday, he took occasion to criticise the Attorney Ceneral for the card published in the Terre Haute Journal of Tuesday, and reproduced in the Sentinel of yesterday. At the close of his remarks, Mr. Hanna stated to the Court that owing to the personal turn which the argument had taken be would not participate in it, but that the State would be represented by his co-counsel.

In the case of John D. Evanset. al., and John I. Morrison, in

the

another

room ot

Superior Court, the defendants entered an appearance yesterday morningi and tiled a motion to strike the case from the docket. The grounds upon which this motion is based are the same as published yesterday."

A COKKKSPONDKNT of the Scicntific American gives the following directions for using a kerosene lamp so as to insure perfect safety. The plan promises well, and is worthy of trial: "I cram all the wick that I possibly can into the lamp, fill up the insterstices with sponge, and saturate the whole thoroughly with kerosene. I have always found the supply amply suflleient for the longest winter night as long as any oil remains in the wick, the lamp keeps burning. 1 have had this fairly tested. One of my little ones—a twoyear old—contrived to up-set- a small table supporting a lamp. With the exception of breaking the glass, no further damage was done, not even soiling the earpet. In fact, my plan was brought about tiy a similar accident, and a narrow escape from serious dam.ige. As the wiek burng away I Keep filling it up with the sponge, and I think I have the nearest approach to a safety lamp."

EVKK since the territory of Arizona came into the hands of theUnited States there has been trouble with the Indians. Most of the tribes are friendly and remain on their reservations, but the Apaches, a tribe brokeu up into clans, ni Kst of which wander about like bauds of Beduoin Arabs, have never been under the control of the Great Father at Washington. Vincent Collyer ami others of the Peace Commissioners have visited them, taking striugs of wampum for the women, candy aud popcorn for their children, and very large pipes and very long plugs of tobacco for the men. While these well meaning men tarried among them, puffs of white smoke were continually rising from the peace pipes, and their camps were as quiet as Quaker meeting houses. But as soon as they departed, the spirit would move some one to take the war path, and doomed was h© whom they chanced to meet.

THE Congressional delegation from this State stand as follows on the committees in the House. The Democrats are on the leading committees, whether because they are more able, or because they are Democrats we cannot tell. Kerr is on Ways and Means, Niblack on Appropria* tions, Holman on Claims and Commerce. Of the Republican members, General Coburn stands highest, being Chairman of Military Affairs and member of joint select committee on insurrectionary States. Shanks is about equal, being Chairman of the Indian Affairs, Tyner is on Postoffices and Post Routes and Public Buildings, Williams on District of Columbia and expenditures of War Department, Voorhees is on the Judiciary, Manson on Invalid Pensions, Wilson is on the Judiciary and Packard doesn't seem to be anywhere.

THE heaviest load that the "Woman's Right" advocates have to carry is the free-love element that has .projected itself upon the movement. Indeed, these free-lovers are doing so much of the talking and writing, that it would seem that they have about swallowed up the entire business, and the present status of the cause almost forces the conclusion that easy divorce and free-love will be the end, if it is not the aim, of the crusade, if it is ever to have a successful ending.

MR. BOUTWELL, the Secretary of the Treasury, admits that he has received in the last year, in the shape of taxes, the immense sum of $383,000,000. With these vast means, is it any merit that the Administration has been able to pay $92,000,000 of debt? The expenses of the Gov" ernment, if they were economically administered, would not §100,000,000, leav~ ing §282,000,000 to be applied to the interest and principal of the debt.

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.

Virtue lias its Own Reward—A Poor but Honest Bns Driver Fails Heir to $2,000,000.

Sometimes we think that after all the most brilliant novelists are only inaccurr ate historians, in so little do their mo^t marvelous marvels exceed the occur*, rences of every-day life. The world of fact constantly presents creatures the counterpart of those of fiction, and the accurate observer can only give Dumas, Bulwer, Dickens, Thackeray and their confreres the credit of an observing eye, a retentive memory and skillful pen. Athos, Porthos, Ararais, D'Artagnan Napoleon, the brilliant adventurer, who puts their feats to shame. The tanner of Galena, England's Jew of destiny have either had careers as full of adventure and Gf triumph, have started as obscurely and reached as great a political altitude as any of these. Lord Ly tton's own life is as full of romance as that of Earnest Mai travel's or Harry Pelham, of whom lie wrote. His "Strange Story" was no fuller of weird horrors than the memory of those—possibly some of them readers of this paper—who, twenty years ago, visited the house ofDrew Bell, in Montgomery county, Tenn. The writer recognizes the counterpart of Count Fosbo in a gentleman who has an office within a stone's throw of the old Court House. Thirty- years, and perhaps longer, ago, Joseph Frete dwelt in Dijon, in Eastern France—Joseph Frete, who, by the death of his father, had just succeeded to a large woolen manufacturing business. His brother Henri, a few years younger, received only a minor interest "in the business. Soon after Henri, despite the fierce opposition of his brother, married a girl below them in social position. A bitter quarrel took place between the brothers, and the younger sold his share in the manufactory, and after a few years started for America. He died almost as the ship that was to convey them to their new home was entering the port of Boston. The mother aud three little ones—a boy who had been called for his uncle Joseph, in spite of the quarrel, and two girls— made their wajr to Vinccnnes, Indiana, where they had distant relatives. The sun did not shine on the widows and orphaus, their means were scant, and unused to the habits and language of the people among whom they were cast, they left behind their life of ease and comfort, and lived as best they might. Some six mouths since, Joseph, now at his majority, came West to better if he might, their affairs, in the land where fortunes are made and lost with more rapidity than in the East, intending, if he succeeded, to soon bring his mother and sisters out. Kansas City's breast was cool to him, and by chance he obtained a situation with W. 1). Twyman, of Liberty, Clay county, as bus driver. In this comparatively humble position he was faithful and attentive, and waited patiently for a change in his fortunes.

A few weeks since the Rev. Antrau, who knew his family iu France, and now a resident of Jeffersonville, lnd., returned from a visit to his native country, and seeking Frete out, informed him that on the 23d of October his uncle had died intestate, leaving property to the value of 10,000,000 francs, or about $2,000,000. As heirs at law, this belongs to Joseph and his two sisters. He immediately entered into correspondence with attorneys in Dijon, and entertains no fears but that their claim will be made good. Ho will in a few days leave for Vincennes, and thence with his mother and sisters leave for France, there to take possession ot his property.

Frete is rather a young man of pleasing appearauce, his face bearing an ex~ pression of the melancholy of meditation, while hi- eyes are full of fire, and the mouth and nose indicative of a temperament, designed for action. He talks very intelligently and in good English.

From tho Neosho Journal.

Another Mammoth Cave.

It has long been known imperfectly that, there was an immense cave in the southeast corner of McDonald county, of which the reports were marvelous and the accurate knowledge little, but it was certain':it least that it contained a stream and a lake, and that the end had newr been reached, further exploration was made a few days since, which enables us to give a further description of this wonder! The entrance to the cave is in the side of a ravine, a short distaucefrom Little Sugar Creek, and close to the Arkansas State line. The entrance is large and unobstructed, the opening iu the rock being some thirty feet wide and seven high. After passing through a hall some 200 feet in length, the visitor reachfes a large room, about 80 feet iu length, and about 400 feet in height, in the form of a horse-shoe, from which passages lead iu every direction. The largest of these leads to an abrupt rise, which is ascended by a sort of natural steps, conducting to another passage, which ends in a room perfectly alive with bats, rtmusauds of these are suspended by the leet to the root and sides, and, awakened by the glare of the torches, dash heavily about in the wildest confusion, with querulous cries. Beyond this, some quarter of a mile further, in an immeuse room, filled with the most beautiful and fantastic stalactites of a suowy white, save where they have been dimmed by the smoke of torches. These stalactites are in every grotesque form of bird?, beasts, trees, monsters aud chimeras dire, and has been called "Barnum's Museum." Just before Arriving at this

room there is a stream of clear water, about six feet wide, running straight across the passage. In the room is a circular hole, about five feet in diameter, of immense depth, a stone dropped in sounding hollow against the sides far down, and apparently never touching the bottom. At the end of one of the passages from the museum an immense lake, formerly supposed to be a river, stops in the way. This lake is about five hundred yards across, of a crystal clearness and unknown depth, and is fed by a stream running down through the rocks. Here was found a boat of rude construction, but in good preservation. The exploring party went around the lake to the north, having first built a fire at the opening so as not to be lost. Room after room was visited, and passage after passage explored, each revealing new beauty or wonder in the stalactite formation, and hundreds of passages, inaccessible from their height and difficulty, were left unexplored. There seemed to be no end to the cave, and the party returned after having penetrated into the bowels of the earth some six miles. The cave extends nearly, if not quite, under the battle-ground o£ Pea Ridge, in

Arkansas.

Four Evils.—Whoever habitually uses any alcoholic preparations as an "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 BITTKRS, the great Teetotal Re storative 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, aud thus, instead of entailing four evils, confers four inestimable benefits.

DRY GOODS,

O .A. LLEN'G JEC

Our citizens arc familiar wilfr the claims pnt forth by certain of our competitors to being the "^Leading House," "The Great Ilcadqnarters,^ the "Chief Emporium." Jke. Some go so far as to assert in so many words, that their sales are larger than any other Dry Goods lionse 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, wo believe, aro

Greater than those of Any Two Other Dry Goods Houses

We propose to test tlie question by challenging any two of our competitors to combine tlieir recent daily sales and

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 tho committee may dosiro to examine in order to arrive at a correct decision.

We propose to show this community that in spite of tho fact that every ono of tho

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, wo are still so

grandly supported in our warfare upon high prices by tho people, that our sales have

increased so rapidly as now to be, Ave believe, Greater than the Sales of any Two of 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 tho latter caso 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. Tho rush since our

opening has been so great that some of our regular customers have been unable to get waited upon. Wo desire to give all a chance at these bargains, which have so

electrified the country for miles around. Wo have just received and placed on sale A big lot of American Delaines at 32 l-2c. Other stores are charging just double that price for them.

Akagniiiccn feiut'k of New Striped Shawls at $3, $4, and $5. We are selling an enormous number of Shawls. Customers tell us our prices are far below what other stores are charging. An extra heavy full sized White Blanket, $3 a pair. Blankets that others charge $6 and $7 for, we sell at $3, $4 and $5. 25,000 Spools of a celebrated make of Spool Cotton at 3c a spool. 25,000 Spooh of Coats' best six cord Spool Cotton at 5c a spool. 5,000 y'ds of genuine Merrimack Prints at and 10 cts. 5,000 y'ds of genuine Cocheco Prints at 0 and 10 cts. 5,000 y'ds of best Sprague Prints at O and 10 cts. 5,000 y'ds of best Pacific and Garner Prints at 9 and 10 cts.

The above stock of the very best prints, are the most beautiful styles we have ever

offered. Every new and'pretty pattern of tlie season is among them, including an

elegant assortment of English robe figures. These handsomest styles of the best

prints we could not now buy ourselves, for less than 12£ cts. at wholesale in New

York. The other stores are not generally keeping them, but where they do they

are usually charging 15 cts. a yard for them.

5,000 y'ds of good Common Prints at 5 cts. 5,000 y'ds of Better Prints at 6 cts. 5,000 y'ds of Fast Colored Prints at 8 cts.
