THE bu-y gossipers are industriously canvassing the IIumaston-McQregor breach of promise case, which is set for trial in the Civil Circuit Court on the 27th Jnst., one week from to-day,before Judge Petlit, of the Supreme Court, by agreement of parties.

A JOURNALISTIC STAR GAZER.—The city editor of the morning Repeater evidently was "star gazing" last evening or early this morning, judging from the following:

It is said that Venus looks lovely about six o'clock in the morning. The beautiful goddess is in the height of her season now, and don't get to bed till "sun-up."

The thermometer below ?ero and a Terre Haute journalist uaakiug astronomical observations in the solemn hours of the morning, is certainly of very rare occurrence. An occurrence still more rare, however, is his gushing rhapsody over I)is discovery. He evidently must have been in "the milky way."

KING SOLOMON'S TEMPLE.—In our amusement columns will be found a.n announcement of a lecture at Dowling Hall, by Rev. T. R. Austin, LL. D., late Rector ot St. Stephen's Church, in this city. He delivers this lecture on the subject of "King Solomon's Temple," iFrfcSay evening, Dec. 29th, at the earnest jsoiicitation of his many friends, :and

the direct invitation of the Masonic ^Fraternity., of which he is a member ot ihigh order auJ standing. His rare literairy accomplishments, vast information and rare

social

qualities should secure for

him a crowded house o.n that eventful •occasion, and we doubt not that he will have a large attendance.

SOCIETY S}UU-TA^K.

A household word!—Refurnish and replenish. Full dress is by no mean complete with the "boutonnierewhatever that means.

Someone says that if a girl's face is snotpretty she can "make up" for it in sinauy ways.

Tile matrimonial business improves \*vith the fcoliduys. Powdered hair is all the rage and *Vbite, gold, blond, and diamond powder is freely used.

Peopte ivjth red noses are all right this weather—ti«ey can lay it to the frost. iSTecktie socials are not encouraged in Petjroit—there being too jnucli necktie And too little provisions.

White iace neckties and m-uslin and lace bows are very much worn and are made of the most costly lace and embroidery.

The process of trying on anew bonnet .or dress is a moment beset with misgiving and doubts, to the youngest and handsomest voman living.

The Fort Wayne woman who sued her .husband for the pay for 14 years of service in his household, on the ground thai tthere was a ltaw in the marriage eere•xuony, has boon awarded $1 1G8 by the Alien Circuit Court.

The old-fashioned water/alls are coming in fashion again, where the hair is creped aiul drawn down over a cushion and covered with a fine silk net. This style is pretty in golden hair, but not in dark, brown or black.

It may interest the ladies to know that the price of a universal tress of loose hair in London varies from £2 to £1-5, according to the length, which averages from twenty-eight to forty-five inches.

A Kentucky girl says when she dies •she desires lo have tobacco planted over lier grave, that the weed nourished by her dust may be chewed by her bereaved lovere. T.iere poetry in the idea.

A groom from Western Virginia a few days since, while reveling in tiie luxuries .ot the table at a Baltimore hotel, encountered a dish of cranberries, and immediately invited his bride to take some of the delicious "pickled strawberries."

Two Terre Haute legal gentlemen will .commit matrimony and bring to this city foreign beauty.—One from Indianapolis and tiie other from Muucie. It strikes us that these gentlemen should •have a higher practical appreciation of rhome beauty.

Since the authorities of La Porte placed red-beaded girls on the street cor

Several evenings since when Rev. Jas. Hill was absent from home a young couple called at his residence for the purpose of being united and happy. They remained several hours, and the Rev. gentleman not appearing, they went away sorrowfully.

A "Society-Men's Protective Association" is talked of. It starts on the proposition that formal calls are a bore. The members, who are to include all the dancing men in the city, are all solemnly sworn never to call. Parties cannot be given without them they do not call, but the young ladies cannot help inviting them out, and so they have things very much their own way. Success the new organization.

These "immense estates" will soon become a drug in the market. Now a Detroiter has learned that he is the heir to one in Amsterdam.

Empress Eugenie is represented as having grown gray and wrinkled under her late reverses, with hardly a vestige of her former beauty.

A Teutonic radical in the Missouri Legislature made an attempt the other day to abolish the custom of opening the session with prayer. He was voted down.

DISAPPOINTED. —A Cincinnati child tied crape on the door to see if the carriages would come to take them out riding as it did the family across the street.

Prince Alexis is the third son of the Czar Alexander, and not the heir apparent to the Russian throne. And it is apparent that he never will be until he can dance a "Virginia reel!"

It is quite a singular coincidente that the celebrated Warwick Castle, in England, and the Warwick House, in Boston, should both have been seriously injured by fire the same day.

The Duke of Newcastle, Earl St. Germaius, and Grey, who accompanied the Prince of Wales on his American tour, are all dead. "Newkirked" has come to be a general term, in New York, applicable to the freezing of prisoners to death in the ice-boxes of the jails and the various other kinds of maltreatment practiced by the police.

The old Manassas batfcle-fleld was sold a few days since for eight dollars an acre, When the war commenced it was under a high state of cultivation, and the dwelling house upon it was one of the finest in that section of the State.

A member of the London School Board writes in favor of the warming of school rooms from the floor, as warm feet would be found to be a great stimulus to intellectual activity. Old-fashioned pedagogues are in favor of warming scholars at a point equi-distant from the head and heels.

In Michigan they don't wantany more "old clothes." A correspondent writes "We believe an actual computation of the number of the old clothes sent to each male sufferer in Michigan would give him probably about two hundred pairs of oLJ p^etsand one hundred old boots."

The Philadelphia Woman's Branch of the Society for the Prevention p( Cruelty to Animals refuses to allow medical students to use stray dog3 for the purpose of vivisection. The women deserve the thanks of all Christians for their war against such barbarity.

A woman hung herself in London lately, "because her husband had scolded her for speaking to the lodgers in the house." It was in evidence before the Coroner that the decased was of a kindly disposition, though she had frequent quarrels with her husband. Her farewell missive, curiously enough, she left chalked on the back of a large tea-tray. It was as follows "Dear Jim—You have driven me to this little affair. Be good to the 4°g, and ask Mrs. Little to be kind to the birds."

Grant Under the New Apportionment. The Apportionment bill just passed by the House fixes the number of members of Congress at 2S3. Add thereto the Senators for the 37 States, aud the number of Presidential Electors for 1872 will be 357, a majority of which is 179.

At the elections for members of the present House, several States gave aggregate majorities for the Democratic candidates as follows: Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. According to the new apportionment these States will give 175 electoral votes, or 4 less than a majority.

Of the States above named, all excepting New Hampshire aud Pennsylvania are absolutely sure to vote against Grant. These two States give thirty-two electoral votes, making, when taken from the anti-Grant column, a deficiency of 36 opposition voters.

But the following States, which gave majorities last year to the Republican candidates for Congress, are almost certain to vote against Grant, viz: Arkansas California Connecticut..., Indiana

Louisiana. Nebraska

This view of the case would give the anti-Grant candidate for President

185

votes, or six more.thau are necessary to elect him. Will those Grant Republicans who are already shotitiug over his triumph in the coming coutest lay down their trumpet* aud take up their pencils and go over these figures? They will instruct, even (hough they may not gratify them.—N. Y. }un,

PARIS, Dec. 20.—The entrance of the Orleans Princes to the Assembly last night, was unaccompanied by special incident, beyond a temporary agitation among the members ot the Party of the Left. The event was generally discussed after adjournment, the prevailing opinion being that their admission was a stepping stone toward the destruction of the Republic and the establishment of a monarchy. The Princes are adverse to the Party of the Right.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—Mrs. Anna Byrnes, sentenced to seven years imprisonment for mal-practiue, in causing the death of Mary Russell, has obtained anew trial on the ground of illegality in the setting of the Grand Jury in which the indictment was found.

If this Grand Jury is illegal as decided in Mrs. Byrne's case, then is illegal also in finding £he late indictments against Tweed and Connolly.

MEMPHIS, Dec. 20.—A special to the Appeal, from Union City, fenn., gives the following account of the killing of the Express robbers that place

Last pight Robert pinkeptoti arrived here with Russell. About two hours after his arrival, a tpan was found lurking about the hotel in a suspicions manner, A young policeman named CHeve started to question him, when the man drew a revolver and started to run, Cleve following. The man \yheeled around and fired on him, shooting him through the lungs, from the effects of which he died in a half hour. He also shot another watchman named Moran through the shoulder, and being then surrounded, surrendered.

At the time this took place, W. A. Pinkerton was engaged taking Russel's confession. He questioned the murderer and found that his name was Tolon and had come from the vicinity of Reel Foot Lake. Pinkerton then asked Russel if he knew any such man Russel replied he did and told whero he lived. Tolon was securely bound and placed under gu^rd in the same room with Russel.

About 4 o'clock this morning the room was entered by about 20 disguised men. The guard was overpowered, and Russell was shot dead, having five op si$ bullet holes through him. Pinkertop was in bed asleep in an adjoining room, but being awakened by the firing, ran out in his night clothes, but was seized by the neck and a navy revolver presented at bis head

aDd

forced back into the room.

Connel was treated in U&e qaanner. The mob then took Tolon away with them. His body was found hanging to a tree about a mile from Union City on the N. & N. W road.

This is unfortunate for the officers and express company, as Russell had agreed to restore $25,000 in bonds. He had pleaded gjjilty, ai}d was wjlllug to take five years in the penitentiary, and to restore all the checks and drafts taken in both robberies, which are buried in the wood near Union City. On this account Russell's death is to be regretted, as there would have been no trouble in convicting him.

SPRINGFIELD, III., December 19.— An effort is being made to hurry up the committep on the Governor's message.

Stormy Discussion on Varlotis Bills.

SENATE.

Miscellaneous business transacted. House bill appropriating $4,000,080 to the purchasing of lots and the building of Government buildings in Chicago, was discussed at great length by Messrs. Morrill, Chandler, Trumbull, Carpenter, Logan and Conkling, after which the bill nassed

Mr. Sumner gave notice that he would propose an amendment to the Constitution, providing that the President shall be ineligible to re-election.

A motion was made by Mr. Schurz to the effect that the President report information as to the relations of Spain and the United States. Concurred in.

Mr. Scott, from the Committee of Finance, reported a substitute for the bill declaratory of the act of July 14, 1870, to reduce internal taxes and for other purposes. The substitute provides that all taxes upon dividends, interests and undivided profits, heretofore assessed or collected from the corporations mentioned in section 15 of said act, for the time between August 1, 1870, and Jauuary 1, 1871, shall be remitted or refunded, but this provision shall not apply to suudry taxes assessed or collected for that part of the year 1870 prior to August 1.

Bills were introduced and referred as follows: To punish stock gambling by public officers, and for other purposes. It prohibits all persons employed in the Treasury Department, or in the collection or disbursement of the revenue, as a disbursing officer, clerk or agent in any department of the public service, from beting engaged or concerned in buying or selling of coin, government securities,.or stock of any description, under the penalty of a fine not exceeding $10,000, or imprisonment not exceeding ten years, or both, in the discretion of the Court. Persons who aid or assist Government employes in such speculations are made liable to the half of the above mentioned penalties. Informers leading to the conviction of the offenders, under the foregoing provisions, a*-eto receive $500 each. Referred to the Judiciary Committee.

Mr. Conkling moved to take up his resolution, offered yesterday, directing the Committee on Retrenchment to inquire into the charges made by Mr. Schurz, iu reference to the general order business in the New York Custom House.

Mr. Patterson wished to say a few words about the investigation by the committee, of which he had been chairman. The New York Ti mes, of Monday, had stated that the committee had held a hole and corner investigation, had manipulated the witnesses like a Tombs lawyer and bad made a garbled and dishonest report. Now, said Mr. Patterson, that statement in malignantly false, from beginning to end, aud is made, I believe, to throw smut upon the committee, in order to lessen the force of their report and for no other purpose. The committee had nothing to blame themselves for, unless it be one thing. After the taking of testimony had been completed, Collector Murphy came here and asked permission to go over the testimony. It was given him, and he brought a gentleman with him from New York, and the testimony was put into his hands. He went over it all and made such changes as he desired iu the character of his own testimony. That, I have since thought, was a privilege that the committee ought not to have given him, but so great was our desire to be fair with all parties that we thought it best to permit the revision, although tfye Qqlleptor h^d se^n tl^e testimony before.

Kfr- Patterson denied that the committee had charged the Government any more than the ordinary expenses fqr the California trip, agd contrasted the expenditures of his committee with that of the Committee on Southern Outrages. latter h$d spent $$2,0Q0 since the 1st of January, 1871, while his committee, during the whole five years of its existence, had spent only $20,000.

Mr. Scott, Chairman of the Committee on Southern Outrages, said that its principal outlay had been on account of witnesses. They had examined over 6,000.

Mr. Schurz offered the following as an addition to the pending resolution', and also to inquire whether any charges for storage or carting have been or are made by otljcers pf the custom, or persons acting under the regulations of the custom house, which charges are not authorized by law, and also whether presents have been accepted by officers of the custom house from other officers, subordinate to them, or acting under their control, and whether the officers making such presents have been selected by preference tp attend to the dispharging of gteatr^sbipp, and also whether any officers of the custom house connive at frauds in passing the baggage of passengers arriving in the port of New York, and also whether articles of* merchandise, while under the control of officers of the custom house, have been abstracted, and whether any such article has been returned on application, and whether any officers of the custom house have been punished for abstracting articles under their control, and also^to what extent the practice of compromising with merchants in defrauding or attempting to defraud the revenue has prevailed, and whether and what pecuniary benefit has been derived therefrom by the officers making such compromises,"

Mr. Conkling accepted the amendment. M. Tipton offered the following amendment: "Also whether any officers or employes of said Custom House have used their influence to control either of the two last State Conventions pf the Republican party in the State of New York, and whether assessments of money have been made to be used to control the primaries to secure delegates to the State Conventions or for other political purposes."

Mr. Conkling accepted this also. Mr. Sherman said he would vote for both amendments, and he had Wished to call the attention of the country to the fact that there was no difficulty in getting any proper resolution of inquiry through the Senate,

Mr. Bayard offered an amendment directing the committee to inquire whether any officers In said Custom House have been or are being used as instruments of political party patronage.

Mr. Conkling accepted this also. The resolution as amended was then adopted by yeas 57, nays 0.

A message was received from the Pjesident, transmitting a report of the Civil Service Commission. A motion was made to print 10,000 extra copies. Referred to the Committee on Printing.

Mr. Sumner moved to take up his resolution, offered last March, calling on the Secretary of the Navy for information about the number of ships employed on the coast of San Domingo since the beginning of the negotiations for the acquisition of the harbor in that island, and also as to the cost of sending and keeping them there and he announced that whenever this information should be obtained he would move to refer it to the Committee on Investigation and Retrenchment. [Laughter.]

Mr. Conkling objected, ana the resolution went over.

4as88ifeS

Mr. Sumner offered it as a new resolution. Mr. Conkling again objected, and it went over.

Mr. Blair offered a resolution, which was adopted, directing the same committee to inquire whether any Minister of the United States, in auy foreign coun try, is engaged in any mining company and using his official position for the promotion of its interest, and if so whether his doing so is compatible with his duties as such Minister. [Laughter.]

The Senate, after disposing of several private bills of no general importance, adjourned.

HOUSE.

A number of bills were properly re ferred. The Secretary of the Treasury was requested to give information as to the number of 6-20 bonds redeemed.

Mr. Pierce, Chairman of the Committee on Education and Labor, endeavored to effect an arrangement as to the de bate. After discussion, Mr. Pierce gave notice he would move the previous question at 1 o'clock to-morrow. He was not prepared to affirm or deny that legislation was necessary on the labor ques^ tion but was convinced the investigation would do good. There was no partizanship in the question. The bill was not in the interest of the International Society, trades unions, etc. He advocated the passage of the bill in the interests of agricultural laborers aud the laboring classes of the South. He wished to attract emigrants to that region.

After a lengthy and animated discussion, occupying the greater part of the day, the matter was laid over until next day. Soon after this the House adjourned. [Special Dispatch to the Indianapolis Jonrnal.] The Beiijowsky Murder Trial—Another

Insane Man—"Not Guilty." FRANKLIN, IND., Dec. 19.—The jury retired at 4 o'clock P. M., and at Oreturned the following verdict: "We, the jury, find the defendantnot guilty, by reason of unsoundness of mind.

JOHN A. POLK, Foreman."

After the reading of the verdict Judge Woollen thanked the jury for their patience during the trial. The prisonear shook hands with the jury and his counsel, and went on his way rejoioing. —l

IN the debate in the Senate, on Thursday last, Senator Sherman, of Ohio, so far forget what was due to the proprieties pf his position as to ohject to Senator Trumbull's speaking twice on a pending resolution. Mr. Trumbull replied with freezing dignity that this was the first time, in the course of seventeen years' service in the Senate, that an attempt had been made to choke the debate.

The occasion for this uuseemly action on the part of the Senator from Ohio was, that Mi'. Trumbull desired to have an investigation into corrupt practices connected with the New York Custom House, which Sherman and Conkling opposed because it might hurt the party. 'It is of little oredit to the Republican party," said Conking "or to any member of it, however humble or exalted, to profess or to practice a willingness to investigate the affairs and the Administration of that party Senator Sherman did not go quite so far in the words as this, but, by attempting to stop discussion, he went much farther.

The A mericau people, however partywise they may be, are not prepared to endorse either the sentiment uttered by Conkling, or the tactics resorted to by Sherman. They believe that it is highly creditable to a party, or any member of a party, to profess and practice a willingness to investigate the aftairs and administration Qf that party} and that an unwillingness to do so is prima facie evidence of guilt. It appears that this unwelcome truth finally entered the souls pf the caucus, for, after twice voting down Mr. Trumbull's resolution, they afterward adopted it, and appointed a committee opposed to executing it. This is very thin and transparent. The fellow who was in favor of the Maine law, but ^gainst its eufQroement, was the natural rototype of such a oommittee. ^or it is a be observed that not one Senator who advocated the resolution during the three days' debate has a place on it. Its functions are committed altogether to those who opposed the creation of any such committee.—Chicago Tribune.

LYMAN TRUMBULL uttered some timely and statesmanlike words yesterday about the civil service, as it is and as it should be. Senators of the JSdffiunds stamp may try to drown his voice with their feeble sarcasms and their hosaunas to the Administration, but the people will give him a serious and attentive hearing.—Springfield Republican.

NEWSPAPERS. WEEKLY

Chicago Tribune.

O^E COLLAR PER YEAR, In Large Clubs.

PROSPECTUS FOR 1872.

The Weekly Chicago Tribune, for the year 1872, will consist of first-class original and sele ted matter, embracing the latest news by telegraph and mail, down to the hour of going to press, editorials, correspondence, repoits ol 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 after its late devastation by fire. The year 1872, it will be remembered, Is a

PRESIDENTIAL TEAR,

And the campaign will, in all probability, be as exciting as any that has transpsred since the outbreak of the late war. THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE will uphola 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 offerees connected with the rebellion. A tariff for public revenue only.

Pres. rvatioii -wf Dublic lands for actual settlers under the Homestead ana J^^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, insteadof partsan zeal or personal favoritism, the test of perferment to Fedoral offices.

Our readers, and the public generally, are so well acquainted with the tone and quality of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, that we need not enlarge upon that subject. Near the close of tfte 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 machinery. 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 praotically gives us thesame facilities that we possessed before tne fire. Upon occupation of our new bui ding 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
