BUFFALO moat in the rough was on exhibition yesterday at the corner of Ohio and Sixth streets.— Journal.

There was more or less of it on exhibition at the scene of yesterday's disaster on the I. & St. L. R. R. near St. Mary's, if our eyes didn't greatly deceive us. A New York Central car attached to the wrecked train was loaded with game, such as buffaloes, antelopes, deer, bears, &c., all neatly dressed—after the western style. It was delayed but a very short time, however, as it was almost immediately transferred to another car aud shipped eastward to its destination, New York. There was mora or less pork rt the scene of the wreck also, and not a little corn and other grain.

Another Railroad Completed. The first through train over the Logansport & Rockville railroad arrived at Hockville this morning, and our neighbors are having a grand jollification over the event. A magnificent banquet is being given to-day and speeches appropriate to the occasion are being made. This is the second railroad for Kockville, and communication is opened up between that point find the city of Logansport and thence to the north and west," through a country of vast aud almost inexhaustible resources of wealth. Another added to the many roads forming a net-work all over this great railroad State of Indiana. Indeed we live in a progresive age and in a progressive State.

HEAVY ROBBERY—LIBERAL REWARD. —Tuesday of this week, we l®arn that a man named Abner Decker, residing near Decker Station, on the E. C. R. R.» suffered a loss of $1,000 by having it stolen from a bureau drawer in his own house where he had it concealed. The money was of the following denominations Four one hundred dollar bills, the remainder being fifties, twenties, tens and fives. One hundred dollars are offered as a reward for. the recovery of the money aud the detection and arrest of the tfiief.

Suspicions are resting on a young man named Frank Kenedy, who is missing. The personal appearance of the suspicioned character, when last seen, was as follows: Abont 17 years of ^ge, dark complexion, dark brown hair, smooth face, and had on dark clothes. Officers of the law, and others inspired with love of the law aud the hope of receiving $100» will do well to keep a lookout for him. It is said that the loser of the money, Mr. Decker, had an apportuuity to loan the same at 18 per cent., recently.

PERSONAL.—The Greencastle Press says: "Prof. E. C. Kilbourne, assisted by Miss Kellogg, designs teaching a class of vocal music, th® course to wind up with a concert.

The same paper says: "The ageDt of the L., N. A. & C. R. R., Mr. E. P. Fairbanks, proves himself equal to emergencies. On Saturday the conductor of the freight train going north was sick.

Church, Sunday, to which service the public are invited. R. H. Gentry, Esq., of Edgar county, 111., was in the city yesterday looking after a contract for grading on the Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railaoad. Mr. Gentry talks of removing to this place.—Journal.

The "gentry" naturally gravitate towards this city. Many of them are endeavoring to

secure

positions on this new

and important road on which none but "gentry" are employed.

RAILROAD—PERSONAL.

Can't we have a new depot here? The Paris & Decatur road will be completed soon.

The New Albany Ledger seems determined to make W. B. Tuell, Esq., President of the proposed New Albany & Terre Haute Railroad. Mr. Tuell will make a good President, and we are not surprised that other companies would like his services.

H. F. Beach, of Litchfield, and Mr. Stiles, late of the Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad, are about to lease the Madison County Railroad, and will put it in active operation.—Springfield (III.) Register.

Active measures should be taken by our business men to secure the passing through here of the proposed New York &St. Louis Air Line, in case it should be built. It will be a road which the people of Terre Haute can not afford to have pass within twenty miles of them.

In the United States Circuit Court yesterday a petition was filed by Messrs. Morris and Ingalls, Receivers of the Indianapolis, Cincinnati & LaFayette Railroad, and in accordance therewith, an order was issued authorizing said Receivers to borrow a sum of money sufficient to pay the interest now due and unpaid on all bonds issued by the company prior to June 1869, and also sufficient to meet the interest that shall accrue from now to the day of the sale of the road. The rate of interest is limited to 10 per cent., and the revenue of the road received by the Receivers pledged to the payment of the loan.—IndianapolisJournal.

The Evansville & Crawfordsville and Indianapolis & Vincennes railroads trains both leave Vincennes about the same time, aud run parallel to each other for about one mile and quarter or half. Yesterday, the E. & C. train started first, the I. & V. train just behind. A man was seen walking on the E. & C. track, just ahead of the E. & C. train. He left the track and walked clear across both the tracks, and just as the E. & C. train passed him he stepped on to the I. & V. track, about twenty feet ahead of the I. & V. train—which was running about 30 or 35 miles an hour—and, of course, there was no escape. The train struck him—aud the last seen of him he was flying in the air. There is no doubt that he wai instantly killed, though the train on which our informant was, did not stop to ascertain the result. It is thought that no blame can attach to the engineer of the train doing the injury. The steam of theE. & C. engine was flying back, and had the effect to obscure the view of the track from the engineer of the I. & V. train. Both trains were delayed at Vincennes by the O. & M. train being behind time, so that both started, making pretty good time.

The different railroads are agitating a ticket office up town for the accommodation of our citizens. Mr. Myers, the agent of the P. & A. telegraph line, has made them a proposition to put their office with his undir the National State Bank, at the corner of Main and Fifth streets. This is a good location, and would indeed be a great convenience to our citizens.

N. Y. Cor. Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. The Ocean Bank Robbery—A Neat Job. Newcomb & McNeil were truly "new comes," for no one knew anything about them. They hired the basement of the bank and paid the rent in advance, which was a sufficient reference. They were real estate brokers and had the look of business men. They spread a long guilt sign on the outside and then painted the same sign in black and white on the dead wall of the bank itself. No once could doubt, as he read the broad lettering, "Newcomb & McNeil, Real Estate," that there was an intention of business. The new firm fitted up their office neatly and were always ready for business. They often came up iuto the bank and chatted with the Officers, who saw that they were easy men in talk and trade and knew the ropes, as they say. Newcomb & McNeil could tell how well business was going off and it was probable they would be permanent tenants. After a while Newcomb & McNeil took it into their heads to visit the bank in a different way. For eighteeu years a bright gas-light had displayed over the front door in order to keep off burglars, and the directors felt safe. One Monday morniug the light was burning as usual, but when the porter opened the bank a sad sight presented itself. The safe had been blown open and robbed. The window had been blanketed to prevent the escape of noise, and the mystery of access was explained by a dark hole in the floor. That floor was two feet thick and of solid timber, but augers had been made tor the purpose and it had been bored through. The dark hole opened into Newcomb & McNiel's office in the basement. These gentlemen were late this morning, and to tell the truth tljey have not yet comeback, and as'for the $30,000 they took along, it has never been returned. It was neatly but unkindly done on the part of Newcomb & McNiel. Nearly three vears have passed and still the sign appears on the dead wall, "Newcomb & McNiel, Real Estate." The bank evidently thinks that it is in an unlucky spot, aud to break the charm it has removed to a new place. The banking house is now for sale, and if Newcomb & McNiel would only return they could have not only their former office, but the entire building, on reasonable terms.

A SPECIMEN of white plastic clay was received at the office of the State Geologist yesterday, forwarded by Mr. J. Ashley of Brazil, who writes that the article can be had in great abundance in Clay county.

The committee which went to Albany to see the Governor on the subject, returned this morning, and are waiting the Governor's answer by telegraph.

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY.

SENATE.

The House bill appropriating money for the taking of the census of 1870 was passed.

Mr. Anthony offered a resolution providing for a standing Committee of Investigation and Retrenchment, to consist of seven members, to be elected by the Senate, and to have power to Investigate and report upon such subjects as maybe committed to it by the Senate.

Mr. Trumbull moved to amend by a provision directing the committee to inquire into the expenditures in all branches of the Government service whether any, and if so, what offices ought to be Abolished, and what salaries and allowances ought to be reduced, Ac. also giving it power to sit during recess of Congress.

The resolution of Mr. Anthony, of Rhode Island, and the amendment offered by Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois, were abated at great length by Messrs. Wilson, Thurman, Casserly, Morton, Ccnkling and Schurz. The latter in substance, saying:

This was not by any means a new proposition. It was merely a proposition on the part of Mr. Trumbull to revive the old Committee on Retrenchment, armed with powers that made the old Committee so useful and efficient. The Senator from Vermont (Mr. Edmunds) had told the Senate that the Civil Service had improved greatly under the existing Administration, and. undouutedly it had yet in the whole history of the country it would be difficult or impossible to find four consecutive months during which so many defalcations and embezzlements by public servants have been brought to light as in that time, most of these cases have been discovered without a careful search or investigations, had been almost stumbled on therefore, it was fair to infer that a careful investigation would expose a great many more now hidden.

Now, gentlemen, I tell you, whatever may be said of the improvements that have taken place, the people of the United States are startled at the frequency and enormity of the disclosures which are made from day to day. Do not give yourselves up to any delusions on the subject. The American people are on the point of demanding honest government, and they want to have all the means used for that object that are compatible with theiaws of the country. They demand the exposure and overthrow of corruption regardless of the interests of any party or person. It seems to me that we are standing at the threshbold of a moral revolution that bids fair to go beyond and overthrow the Tammany ring, and in that revolution the science of how not to do it will be of very little avail. Neither will a cheap declamation against corruption in the abstract or against the sinfulness of sin generaljy and the beauty of virtue avail much. We have had enough of all that. The people will not much longer take that worthless currency as legal tender. If we wish to serve the country and command its confidence, we have to make clear to the country that we hate no party no more than we hate corruption, and that we love no party more than we love good government.

Other gentlemen followed Mr. Schurz, including Mr. Morton,of tWs State, who 7 %TST~ %, "i£ IfJt

favored the resolution of Mr. Anthony as being severe enough. Mr. Morton, remarks referred to the swiftness of the bringing to justice of defaulters under the present administration, Sena Casserly asked him to cite a single case, which he said he could not do at that time. This resolution was discussed at considerable length, though without any disposition of the same before adjournment.

HOUSE.

No business of general interest was transacted in this body yesterday

A Confederate General's Washing Bill* A case came up yesterday before Justice Buckley, of Brooklyn, which disclosed some curious phases of life, as followed by those who are generally received with distinction by the unitiated Mrs. Masterson, who laboriously earns her living by cleansing the soiled linen of those who desire to appear with spot less shirt fronts, brought suit for the score of $71.50, due for washing done, during the years 1868 and 1869, for Mrs. Charlotte Sibley, wife of the notorious Gen. H. H. Sibley, a graduate of West Point and inventer of the famous "Sibley Tent," who at the beginning of the late war espoused the Confederate cause Since then he entered the service of the Khedive of Egypt, where he receives $6,000 yearly, of which he sends at least $2,500 to his wife, the defendant. The defendant, through her couusel, attempted to show that the debt was of her husband's contracting, and that she could not be held responsible. The court held otherwise that it was a joint liability, and recorded a verdict for the poor washerwoman.—New York Standard, of Friday.

NIAGARA EXTORTIONS.—A traveler who has been there gives the following schedule of hotel prices at Niagara Falls: To lie down one night, $1 to sit up over night, $1 to eat, $1 to stand fifteen minutes with your back to the stove, 50 cents to go where there is a stove, 25 to shave as a stranger, 25 cents to shave as a citizen 15 cents half-soling shoes, $5 gin and milk, 25 cents plain gin, 30 cents plain wash, 10 cents with soap, 15 cents with soap and towel, 20 cents to look out of the window, 10 cents— three looks out of the window for a quarter. If you have all your baggage in your coat pocket the porterage is fifty cents but it is a good thing to know, if you stop one day, the porterage is paid for the season.—Cleveland Leader.

PROSPECTUS FOR 1872.

The Weekly Chicago Tribune, for the year 1872, will consist of flrst-class original and sele ted matter, embracing the latest news by telegraph and mail, down to the hour of going to press, editorials, correspondence, reports of the proceedings of Congress and of the Legislatures of the Western States, and of important public meetings and political speeches, financial and commercial intelligence, reports of the grain, provision, lumber, dry goods, cattle, and general markets, notices of new publications, and other literary and miscellaneous intelligence. It will also contain weekly summaries of information concerning the work of

REBUILDING CHICAGO, And restoring its former greatness alter its late devastation by fire.

The year 1872, it will be remembered, is a

PRESIDENTIAL YEAR, And the campaign will, in all probability, be as exciting as any that has transpsred since the outbreak of the late war. THE CHIC

AGO TRI­

BUNE will uphold and defend the principles of the Republican party with its accustomed vigor and earnestness. Our platform consists of:

Equal and exact justice, at the ballot-box and before the law, to all men, without distinction of race or color.

Amnesty for all political offences connected with the rebellion. A tariff for public revenue only.

Preservation of the public lands for actual settlers under the Homestead and Pre-emption laws.

Opposition to monopolies of every description, and to corruption in every form. Such reform of the civil service as shall make men and fitness, instead of partsan zeal or personal favoritism, the test of perferment to Federal offices.

Our readers, and the public generally, are so well acquainted with the tone and quality of THE CHICAGO 1RIBUNE, that we need not enlarge upon that subject. Near the close of the 25th year of our existence as a public journal, we had the misfortune, in common with a large majosity of the business community of Chicago, to be burned out, losing thereby the most commodious newspaper building in the United States, and being deprived, temporarily of the use of our extensive printing mnchinery. We have commenced rebuilding our ruined edifice on a more enduring plan than before, and we have effected arrangements for the use of machinery which practically gives us the same facilities that we possessed before tne Are. Upon occupation of our new building and machinery THE TRIBUNE will be issued as an octavo, and contain eight pages of reading matter.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE will be published regularly as heretofore eacn Wednesday upon the following

THE NEW YORK TIMES.

Daily, Weekly and Semi-Weekly.

This journal is now thoroughly Identified with the greatest political necessity of the hour —uncompromising warfare against all forms of corruption, whether in national or local government. For years past the TIMES has been exposing the demoralizing schemes of self-in-terested politicians, and its recent warfare upon the Tammany Democrats has been received with universal approval. It has adhered to the pledge given in its original prospectus, more than twenty years age, that the public should be truly represented, and their interests faithfully guarded through its columns. Its record has been pure and honorable, and the highest aim of its proprietors is to render it more and more worthy of its past history, and of the confidence which the public repose in it. Two out of three of the original proprietors still direct its policy, and guide it on al 1 public questions. They propose that the TIMES shall continue to keep clear of all narrow and unworthy influences and cliques, and aim to represent the great body of the public, as distinguished from personal factions. It occupies a perfectly independent position, and is free to speak the truth on all subiects and about all men. Its greatly increased circulation throughout the country adds to its power and influence. It will continue to be a faithful exponent of Republican principles, and advocate with untiring energy every cause which tends to further the welfare of the people.

The utmost care will be devoted to gathering political news from special sources during the Presidential canvass. This department of the paper will be unusually full and trustworthy. Renewed enterprise will be exhibited in every department of the paper, and large space will be devoted to reports of speeches made during elections, or on other important political occasions.

A very full summary of news, and many general articles of great interest, are published in the Semi-Weekly editions and in the Weekly edition there is an unabridged report of the proceedings of the Farmers' Club, an excellent summary of political information, and a great variety of matter suitai le for family reading.

The NEW YORK TIMES is pre-eminently a family paper, all objectionable advertisements being rigidly excluded and it has a constantly increasing circulation among the most respectable classes of the community.
