Governor N-wioi! Booth's Inaugural Address.

We publish in thi issue a large portion of Gov. Booth's inaugural address. We have no doubt it will be read with much pleasure by his many friends iiere. The address, it will be seen, is in strange contrast with the many addresses arid messages produced by prominent public men. Gov. Booth talks like a philosopher and writes like a scholar. His thoughts are those of a profound thinker his conclusions are clear and distinct his diction faultless, and his style that which is only attained by the most careful study. We have hardly ever read a State paper that was more unexceptionable, and none the perusal of which

us more pleasure.

We have known Gov. Booth from his boyhood to his manhood. Have known him long and well. Knew him for years in the recitation room at our Alma Mater. Have known him at the bar, and in the social walks of life. And at all times, and in all conditions as boy, student, lawyer and citizen, he was, and is, the very soul, of honor, and possesses a mind of the most comprehensive grasp, and of uncommon power. Most sincereiy can we congratulate the people of California in their great fortune in having such a Chief Executive officer.

THE press of matter on our columns to-day precludes the possibility of presenting to our readers the statement of the stockholders of the Southwestern Railroad. We will publish it to-morrow, with .such editorial comments as its importance demands.

The Southwestern Railroad.

Editor of Terre Haute Gazette: Since my- appointment I have been talking a good deal with the neighbors, and find no little uneasiness in their minds in consequence of the election to determine whether we will vote to give $150,000 to the Southwestern Railroad. Every one wants a road in that direction, and if they could get stock for their money, or could issue bonds on time like the city, and only pay the interest, they would feel like voting for the proposition, but when it comes to adding about onehalf more to our taxes for two years, the prospect looks rather dim. I saw a man to-day from the southwest part of the township, who seemed very anxious for the road, "but," said he, "my neighbors will not vote for it."

I asked him why, and he said he thought, and his neighbors did too, that a road could be buiit in that direction as cheap as any road running into Terre Haute and that ten miles of the fifteen or twenty miles could be graded and the iron put on for the amount asked of Harrison township. The balance asked of the other townships below would come very near doing the same thing, though then with what would be left in Harrison, and he could not see why this township should build the road and make a present of it to the company, wheu all the other roads here issued stock for the money or bonds furnished, all of which, from present appearances, will soon be worth theamount advanced. He remarked that he thought the stockholders were making a good thing out of it, or would if they obtained the donation of $150,000.

I told him he might be mistaken about its being a donation, it might be stock after all. I shall not soon forget the look he gave me as he jerked his bridle and gave the old mare a dig in the ribs with the heel of his bo t, as much as to say, "that kind of soft corn will do for you fellows who can afford to stand the thing either way, but don't try to come such dodges with men who have to get their bread in the way mentioned in the Bible." I asked him if he saw the card of the Commissioners saying they would require stock. He said he did, and their orders too, making a donation. Now said he, which is the one to rely on? Their order as a court, which I am told is according to the statute, or their card as three citizens, whereiu I am informed tliey claim authority not given them by law I caught a gleam of his eye under the shadow of his broad-brimmed hat as he rode off, and concluded he was in no mood to be trifled with.

This man had not fairly turned the corner when a man from the lower part of the county came along with a load of hominy corn. said to myself, here is a man who is for the tax certain. He has hauled that corn about twelve miles. As lie got off of his load to get his horses a bucket of water, I said to him, "my friend, I conclude you are for the railroad tax you could get your corn to market so much easier," and was concluding I had a soft thing with him. At that moment the off-horse pushed his nose into the bucket and splashed the water over the man's clothes. He spoke a word or two, I could not hear all, which might be called profane under ordinary circumstances, but in this case I forgave him, supposing it was the horse he was angry with, but presently I saw him patting his horee on the neck and loosening up his collar to cool off' his shoulders, and I chauged my mind.

After he had watered his team, he stepped towards me and took his black whip about half way up from the butt end, heavy part down, saying: "Have you anything to do with that matter?" I did not like his earnest mauner, and concluded I had no particular business with him ou that subject. I begged his pardou, however, and asked him if he ever took anything. He said he did not want any of my railroad nor whisky either guessed it was none of my particular business what he did or how he voted. I told him we agreed exactly, and I guessl said itheartily, for he halted and looked at me rather incredulously. I kept a stiff upper lip,' but would have given a pound of tobacco to have been on the other side of the river.

My experience (his mailing settled the

•mfW

business with me. I shall let every one vote as they please without further personal inquiry if any man wants to talk to me about, the matter he cm do ho, but electioneering for that tax is not safe for a man of corpulent habits.

retiring disposition peace, but still a FRIEND OF THE ROAD.

Wholesale Destruction of the Walrus and its Consequencps. A correspondent of the New Bedford Standard furnishes the following:

For the past three or four years the North Pacific whaling fleet have been taking walrus in the months of July and August, as •le whales in these months go into the ice around Point Barrow, out of the reac-i ol the whalemen. During ail the

years

from 1849 to 1860 the whalemen

had let the walru- alone or taken very few. I/i 1868 a few ships commenced taking walru.-, and did quite well, securing from 200 to 000 walrus, and destroying half as inan.v more. In 1808 a large number of shio-'were engaged in the business, but in 1870 the wnole (with one or two exceptions) "went in" and took all they *t»u !i. Probably not If ss than 50,000 female walrus,

with

their young were killed

and de.-lroved. The past year threefourths of the fleet were engaged in the business, but Use walrus were shy and far in the ice, and they did not do so well. Shipmasters had to send their boats 20 and 25 miles to find them.

The Arctic walrus are nearly all females, who go into the Arctic in the summer months to bring forth and nurse their young, which the mothers are very fond of and attached to. They will never forsake their young, but will take them in their flippers and hold them to their breasts, even when their destroyers are puttihg their sharp lances through and through them and the blood streaming from every side, uttering the most heartrending and piteous cries, and so until they die, and then the little ones must starve unless the whalemen can thrust his lance through it and send it to the bottom. This is one of the most cruel occupations that I know of, and many a liumau© whaleman has felt guilty and turned aside as he did it. The walrus average about twenty gallons of oil and four pounds of ivory.

But the worst feature of the business is that the natives of the entire Arctic shores trom Cape Trindeus, in the Anadir Sea, to the farthest point north, a shoreline of more than a thousand miles on the west coast, with the large island of St. Lawrence, the smaller islands Doimede and King's, all thickly inhabited, and our own coast of northern Alaska, are now almost entirely dependent on the walrus lor food, clothing, boats, and dwellings. Twenty years ago, whales were plenty, and easily caught, but the whales have been destroyed and driven north, so that now the natives seldom get a whale. This is a sad state of things for them.

Several captains lately arrived home told me that they saw the natives thirty and forty miles from land, on the ice, trying to catch a walrus to eat, and were living on the carcasses of those that the whaleman had killed.

Whose Hair WHS It

A novel tiial is reported to have taken place in London. A lady went to a ball, and wheu preparing to return to her home in the evening, before going to her carriage, took oft' her coiffure and tied it up in her handkerchief, to keep it fresh for a party she was to attend the following night, and that she might the more conveniently put warmer wraps on her head, the evening being cold. When she reached her dwelling the coiffure was not in the carriage. She dispatched a messenger for it, but it could not be found. Some days after she met an acquaintance, whose hair was the same color as

her

own—rather a peculiar hue—

and was satisfied she wore her coiffure. She taxed her with it. Of course it was indignantly denied. So certain was the lady that the hair the other had taken from the ball and was wearing, she sued her for it. When the trial came on the defendant struck the prosecutor dumb, and convinced the court by let ting down her tresses and showing they were her own, thereby procuring judgment in her favor. Subsequently she quarrelled with her hair-dresser, wheu it came out that the hair she had so dexterously exhibited as having grown

her head, "had grown on some ot er head, but had been artfully and artistically arranged for the pulling down process by the hair-dresser.

O i{p-

NOVEMBER 28,1868, three weeks after the people had done their part in the election of General Grant to the Presidency, George Wilkes published an article on "Grant and the one term princip,e," in which he expresses his gratification that: "General Grant is about to enroll him self at the head of American statesmen by recommending the one term principle in his inaugural address. Washington and Jackson, after having enjoyed two terms of the Presidential office, retired from the chair with the solemn and earnest appeal to the country to limit their successors to one. The more disinterested and self-sacrificing honor is reserved forGrant to enter upon his first term with the recommendation on his lips that lie himself, as well as his successors, should be limited by the Constitution to one term only. None could doubt the purity of such on appeal. Few will demur to its wisdom and necessity. The bane of Presidents has been the monarchal grasping toward a future term. Nothing strengthens our confidence in General Grant's peculiar fitness for the Presidency more than the convictions he has already ex pressed in an unofficial mauner, in favor oflimiting Presidents to one term."

THE State Central Committee undoubtedly did an injudicious thing in complimenting A. H. Connfer with a resolu tion of thanks and confidence when he resigned the Chairmanship of said Committee. It is true that at the time the Committee did not know that Ham. had grabbed (we put it mildly) over $30,000 out of the Treasury ou false vouchers— aud that he was iu a few days to own up to the illegal taking of $18,896.50, and disgorge the same but they did know that Conner was under an ugly cloud, an object of the deepest suspicion, aud should have taken care not to seem to be trying to whitewash him. However, vve are willing to believe the committee simply atjted inconsiderately in the premises—just as our President did in indorsing Tom Murphy when Accepting his resignation.—Laport Herald.

MRS. HENRY WARD BEECHER makes the following sensible remarks: "The lawyer can not look for success in his profession if he simply opens an office and delegates the care to an iguorant office boy, while he himself knows nothing about law, and never studied. The doctor gives yeare of time and study before he attempts to practice. The merchant goes through a long apprenticeship before he corameuces business for himself but our young girls leave the school-room to assume a right of which they know nothing—the privilege and honor of making a home. If women would only understand how much skill and power are requisite, what a noble, honorable thing it is to succeed or become eminent as a home maker, there would be fewer boarding-houses, fewer fast, wild, reckless children, and fewer worthless servants."

THE astronomers say that the late explosion in the sun hurled flying debris to the height of over two hundred thousand miles and that the huge protuberance which rose some fifteen, thousand miles

above the "chromosphere," and subsequently burst, was composed of hydrogen gas. If such an- unexpected ebullition as this can take place, who knows what may happen next, or whether another

I surrender I and more tremenduous catastrophe may

sun himself to atoms, and and old Night?" are promised ould be of little

use if followed bv such an event as this, and it is to be hoped that the world will soon receive scientific assurance that the recent disturbance was purely of a gaseous or ephemeral order, and not at all likely to herald the destruction of the solar system.

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 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 entailingfour evils, confers four inestimable benefits. 6dw4w

1872.

N the year 1872 General Grant's successor is to be chosen the Forty-third Congress to be fclGCtCCl.

The people's votes, white and black, North and South, will thus decide the future destiny of the Republic, select its rulers, prescribe their course.

How to influence the people's votes? By the newspaper—for it includes every other agency. It makes known events and facts —among all influences the chief. It assembles the vaster outside andieuces which cannot gather to the State House, tfte pulpit, or the slump. It is the constant interpreter of men's affairs, and of errors or truth is the daily seedsower.

Jsext November is our political harvest-time As we sow we shall reap. THE WORLD'S seed sowing will be fruitful to the extent that its circulation is widely pushed by those who approve its aim.

THE WOkLD will aim to represent and combine the labors ana votes of I.—All those WHO lind best insurance of the people's prosperity, peace and progress in a gov eminent administered on the principles and in the pure practice of Jeilerson and Jackson, and who descry the fount and origin of the present corruptions, extravagance, misgoverument, subversion of public liberties, and insecurity of private rig'nts in cur rulers' lawless usurpation of interdicted and undelegated powers— usurpation that to-day marches deliberately ou to the subjugation of popular rule and the possession of dictatorial power—for by acts of Congress General Grant may even now des.roy the ireedom of State elections, invade the States at his pleasure, and declare martial Jaw of Ills own free will.

II.—All those who would maintain the honor of the republic, and would preserve public credit by punctual payment of the public debts.

IIL—All thoso who would cut down to fewer and fit objects all appropriations of the people's money (to-day more than douole, ne rly treble, the appropriations of a Democratic Congress

IV.—All those who would reduce the number of commodities taxed by our tariil' from thousands to a few dozens, and so empty our custom-houses of half their officials, rid the statute books of half their odious snares for honesty or bribes to fraud and unletter scores of our native industries.

V.—All those who would lower the rates also of our tariff taxes to the point of most easily yielding the largest revenue—who would abandon the protectionist system of reducing the revenue whilst increasing the extortionate profits of a few at the expense of all other indus-

VL—All those wto would abolish every tinlawful tax, like that on incomes every unjust tax like that which gives banks the people's profits on a national currency every unequal and indeterminate tax, like that levied most cruelly upon the poor—the tax of our irredeemable paper-money.
