THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14,1871.

T. II. & S. W. Railroad.

We have been promised the articles of association of the Terre Haute & Southwestern Railroad for publication, and hope to be able to lay them before our readers by to-morrow. As soon as we can do this, we will give this subject careful attention, as it is a matter of the greatest importance to this people. We must confess that we do not understand whether the people will be called on to give the $150,000, appropriate the $150,000 or take stock for the $150,000. The petition seems to leave it discretionary with the voters to take stock or to donate that amount, but the order of the Commissioners appears to make the whole thing a donation.

Under the petition and order of the Commissioners, we can not determine •whether the road is to run one mile or fifty miles. It is to run in a southwesterly direction, but that is all. This is certainly very indefinite, and we rather think the people will desire more certainty before they will be able to vote understandingly on it.

We are much in favor of a road run ning in a southwesterly direction from this city—one crossing the Wabash river at or near Darwin, and continuing in that direction through Robinson, Olney, Mount Vernon and on to Chester on the Mississippi river, and then cross ing the river to the Iron Mountain or Pilot Knob, thus bringing the iron ore of that region to the block coal of this. Such a road as this will meet our hearty approbation. Whether the one now under discussion is such, does not appear from the papers.

How to Reseue the South from Bayonet Rule. There is a large class of our fellowcitizens who are exercised by a contemplation of what they term "Military Despotism," "Bayonet Rule," and [inaccurately] "Martial Law," in certain portions of the South. We heartily agree with them that such rule is undesirable perse, and should be brought to a close as speedily as is, consistent with the the maintenance of order and the security of personal rights. We dislike the spectacle of citizens arrested by a military force and marched off to jail between liles of soldiers but, if there be no other way of stopping midnight raids on the homes of peaceful, humble laborers in order to drar out the inmates and lash them into swear ing that they will never again vote as they are well known to feel and think, we can stand the military arrests and so, we are confident, can the country.

To those who concur with us in heartily desiring a speedy withdrawal of Federal bayonets from the youth, we commend again this weighty paragraph from the late message of Gov. Walker of Virginia "Certain it is, that since the restoration or civil government in our State, we have enjoved a degree of peace and good order, of obedience to law", and respect for authority, equaled by few and excelled by none of our sister States. While it is true that this is due in a very large measure to the law-abiding character and high moral sentiment ol our people, it cannot be denied that to a certain extent it is due to the fact that every citizen of the State, no matter what his race or present or previous condition is, or may have been, has been fully protected in all the rights and immunities of citizenship."— 2V. Y. Tribune.

Is not this declaration of Gov. Walker, a splendid argument in favor of univer sal amnesty? The same fact is to be 6een in Missouri. Never was there more peace and good feeling in any State, either before or since the war, than has existed in Missouri since the constitutional disabilities were removed from its citizens. The same seems to be the case in Virginia. And yet there area number of men in power, in this country, who persistently refuse citizenship to a large portion of the first people in the Southern States.

Barratry.

Barratry is defined to be "the practice of exciting and encouraging lawsuits." We understand that one of the legal fraternity of this city has been practicing in this direction to such an extent recently, that talk is current that he will soon be brought to "taw."

Nothing is more disgraceful, or farther from the practice of an honorable lawyer, than to be engaged in "exciting and encouraging lawsuits." An example made of some of these "limbs of the law," in this particular, we think would have a wholesome etlect.

Editor of the Terre Haute Gazette: I do not see a sufficient answer to the question of your inquirer, "Harrison." I should like to kuow whether the proposition of the petitioner is for a donation of stock in the Southwestern Railroad? Is it a gift to the company? If so, why I wish to know also whether this $150,000 is put on the duplicate or we have to pay the cash down. If this is so, it looks a little steep. I should like to know what amount this tax will require to the dollar, in addition to what we now pay. Will it double our taxes? Please answer us. I want the road, but do not wish to be eaten up quite.

The Attorney General's Suits. In Judge Blair's room of the Superior Court, yesterday, the argument was concluded on the State's demurrer to the answer of defendant in the case of the State vs. il. J. Bright. The Court will rule upon the case to-day.

In the case of the State vs. Thomas B. McCarty. the sureties filed a motiou to strike out a portion of the complaint, and a further motion was filed, by all the defendants, to require the State to make itscqiqplaiutand bill of particulars more

the defense filed separate demurrers to the complaints, and in one of the two cases the sureties filed a motion to strike out a part of the complaint.

The argument on the demurrer to the complaint in these cases was commenced yesterday afternoon by Major Gordon.— Ind. Sentinel.

THE STATE SUITS.

A Vigorous Protest from Governor Baker on the Matter of the House Rent. The sensation in the Superior Court Room No. 1, yesterday morning, where the case of the State vs. Kimball is being heard, was the appearance of Governor Baker in person, who submitted and read the following protest, which was ordered upon the records of the Court: May Up1ease your Honor:

I hold in hand a newspaper slip, published last evening, which purports to be, and I believe is, a copy of a Bill of Particulars filed in this Court in the case of the State vs. Nathan Kimball and others, the effect of which is to throw upon me in my individual capacity, all the reresponsibilities and disadvantages of a defendant without giving me a right to appear and assume the control of my own defense. This bill of particulars purports to have been signed by B. W. Hanna, Attorney General for the State, and the item of which I allude seeks to charge General Kimball, late

Treasurer of

State, and his sureties, with $7,600, on the allegation that lie paid $10,000 for two years' rent of Governor's residence for 18G7 and 1868, knowing the rent to be only $2,400. As I was acting as Governor of the State during both of those years, except twenty-four days in Janu ary, 1867, and as Treasurer Kimball never rented a house for me, and never paid a dollar for the rent of a house occupied by me, and as I did, in pur suance of the act of March 6,1865, receive annually from the State Treasury, at the rate of $5,000 i'or each of said years, in lieu of a house, that being the amount fixed by the Commissioners authorized by said act to make the allowances two years before the duties of the office devolved on me, and having been received by my predecessor during the two preceding years without objection from any quarter I am, if anybody is, responsible to the State for the wrong, if any wrong was committed, and I would be craven if I should stand by and witness the Attorney General strike another in a mat ter in which that other acted in the most perfect good faith, and from which he derived no benefit. Especially would I be derelict, if I failed to protest against such a proceeding in a casein which the record is made unnecessarily and ostentatiously to show that the action (and, of course, including this item) is prosecuted with my official consent. I did consent, and do now consent, that the Attorney General may sue Kimball, or any other person, including myself, against whom he believes just cause of action exists, but I do not con? sent, l*ut protest against Kimball's being sued in a matter where the cause of action, if any exists, is unjust in the highest degree, as against him, and only exists, if auy cause of action does exist, against myself. If arecoveryshould be had on this item in the bill of particulars against General Kimball, of course, I am in justice and honor bound to protect him to the last farthing, so that in effect a judgment against him, so far as this item is concerned," is a judgment against me, and yet I cannot control the defense, nor can I even consult with General Kimball or his attorneys in relation thereto without subjecting myself to the charge of attempting to thwart the Attorney General in the prosecution of that part of the claim with which I have no connection. If the Attornery General and his assistants, to the employment of whom I gave my official consent, had asked me to advise and consent to their bringing an action against myself in relation to this matter. I should have considered such treatment kind and considerate, compared with this attempt to place me in the attitude before the public of officially consenting to the prosecution of a claim against General Kimball which ought to be prosecuted, if at all, against myself. It was rumored in the outset that I was to be sued in relation to this matter, and in view of that rumor I personally told the Attorney General, when he first called on me in relation to the suits he proposed to bring, (and now publicly repeat it) that whenever he thinks his duty requires him to sue me, I will waive the service of process and endorse my appearance on the complaint. I believe that in law and in morals, I was, and am entitled to every dollar I received in the matter now questioned, and I shall interpose no objection to the question being judicially tested but if it is to be tested, I ask the privilege accorded to every one of my fellow-citizens, of having my day in Court, and being allowed to be heard in my own defense. CONRAD BAKER,

Governor of Indiana.

December 13,1871. After the Governor had finished the reading of the paper, a little colloquy sprang up between Judge Claypool and His Excellency, after which the proceedings of the Court were continued without interruption.

Special Telegram to the Cincinnati Com.

A Warm Time in the Republican Senatorial Caucus—Refractory Senators. WASHINGTON, December 12—The Republican Senators, the Administration supporters, having the power to do so, went into caucus this afternoon, to have their quarrels out among themselves, with reference to the matters already up and coming up, in which the Grantists fear a collision may occur. As heretofore said in these dispatches, the Ad* ministration Senators oppose, with all their strength, the reorganisation of the Retrenchment Committee under Senator Patterson, and they fear that the Republicans who favor the hunting out of dishonesty and extravagance in office, whether it hits one party or another, with the aid of the Democrats, will have votes enough to carry the committee.

The Administration rings are running over with fraud and corruption, and are also reckless in the extravagant use of the people's money, and its members know it too well but they cherish th® dishonest system because it helps the pariy aud promises to renominate Grant. For this reason they want to prevent the forming of a committee which will make thorough work of it they want to defeat the proposition to give the committee power .to send for persons and papers,

above all they want to prevent the public from listening to the discussion over the appointment of this committee.

Senator Trumbull's speech, yesterday, gave them an indication as to the turn affairs are taking. It was their proposition to consider the subject in caucus. They feared that Trumbull or any other Senator would speak out in meetiug and injure the Grant Administration. So they decided to smoother the matter in caucus. They might as well have attempted to smoother the Chicago fire with a blanket. The caucus met, aud it was proposed to appoint a committee to inquire if some plan might not be adopted to reduce the number of standing committee,

vand

to consolidate the work

It was thought this plan would work, and the Grant Senators hoped to get the subject of retrenchment iuto a committee loyal to Grant. Mr. Freelinghuysen. in a short speech, was the first to develop this. He said he presumed that would do away with Mr. Trumbull's proposition. Mr. Trumbull sprang to his feet, and said he did not

understand it. His proposi

tion has been offered in good faith, and would be pressed. A large amount of dishonesty had already been discovered, and he knew the half was not

9°*fc serious charg

are made, said he, and if they are not true, we should show that they are not and vindicate the party. If they are true, let the reformation begin at once.

The discussion grew very warm. Mr. Wilson announced himself for Grant, but counseled moderation, as he always does. He said, however, that Republicans had a right to oppose the renomination of Gene.al Grant, and the Senate or auy other body could not read them out of the party. Edmunds charged that the proceeding was a plot, aud a high old time followed. What ails Edmuuds is that he is dying to go on the Supreme bench in place of Nelson whose death or resignation would problably not fill him with anguish. Coukling also wants to wear the silken robe and balance the golden scales. Conkling followed Edmunds, and was furious that such a-base proceeding should go on. He

said

the Administration is "ours," and that we ought not. to drag Tom Murphy, Laflin and others' sins out, to be peeked at by Democratic daws. The debate momentarily grew warmer in its intensity and finally, after a two hours' session it was seen that no arrangement could be carried out, aud the caucus adjourned until to-morrow at half-past ten o'clock.

The effort will be made in caucus to defeat the proposition for a committee, and then an appeal to Trumbull, Sumner, Fenton, Schurz, Tipton, Sprague, Logan, Alcorn, Davis, of West Virginia, Ferrv, of Connecticut, Hill, Robertson, Rice" Sawyer, Johnson aud Davis, will be made to stand by the party. Some of these will fly the track of course, but the most of them will insist on their rights as Senators, and refuse to be bound by any caucus dictation as to their official duty. Lively times are ahead.

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 BITTKIJS, 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

Oiar citizens are familiar with the claims put forth by certain of our competitors to being the "leading House,*' "The Great Headquarters," the "Chief Emporium." dee. Some go so far as to assert in so many words, that their sales are larger than any other Dry Goods house in the city.

WE PROPOSE TO TEST THE QUESTION!

We believe our sales, oven 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 than those of Any Two Other Dry Coods Houses

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

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 the committee may desire to ex

amine 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

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 the latter case 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. The rush since our

opening has been so great that some of our regular customers have been unable to

get waited upon. We desire to give all a chance at these bargains, which have so

electrified the country for miles around. We have just received and placed on sale

A big lot ol American Delaines at IS l-2c. Other stores are charging just double that price for them. xriagnificen stuck 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.
