FOR GOVERNOR IN 1872,

Washington C. De Pauw,

OF FI.OTI COUNTY.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30,1871.

The 01(1 and New.

The old year of 1871 has but a short existence. Before another issue of the Evening GAZETTE, a new year will have dawned upon us, fresh and brilliant. Let each of us look back on the past year, weigh all our actions and firmly resolve that in the ensuing year we will be better men and better women in all that pertains to our existence on earth and our existence hereafter. There is not one of us who cannot live a nobler and a truer life to ourselves, to all mankind and to Him who gave us being. We greet the readers of the Evening GAZETTE with our best wishes for a happy new year. May each of them prosper better in the year of 1872 than in the year of 1871, which is practically so soon to be no more in the calendar of time. We shall endeavor to furnish them with a better paper for the ensuing year than in that which is almost gone. The many disadvantages we have labored under because of narrowsouled monopoly are now overcome, and the GAZETTE is just entering upon a career of success unparalleled in the history of newspaper enterprise in this section of the country. Our circulation is rapidly on the increase, our advertising patrons are rallying to our support nobly, and we are giving them their money's worth. The GAZETTE will continue unflinchingly to denounce that which its editors conceive to be subversive of the laws of morality, municipality or State, regardless of personal friendships of the past, or fear of libel suits. The GAZETTE, in future as in the past, will advocate all measures for the advancement of the best interests of our prosperous and beautiful city. For all this its proprietors, editors and managers only ask that the citizens of Terre Haute sustain them with their earnest support and patronage. If you don't already take it, commence the new year by subscribing for the Daily Evening GAZETTE at ir cents per week, and you may yet be happy.

Dr. Austin's Lecturc.

Of all the lectures with which this city has been favored since we have known it, that of T. R. Austin, L. L. D., at Dowling Hall last evening on the subject of King Solomon's Temple, was the ablest and most finished literary effort. We shall not attempt a synopsis of it for the reason that we could not do justice to the theme, the lecturer and his most intensely interesting style of delivery, in that manner. Suffice it to say, that it was a literary effort worthy of the subject and the rare abilities of the gentleman who delivered it. The audience was of the more intelligent and apprecia tive of our citizens, who made manifest their high appreciation of the success of the effort by hearty and longcontinued applause at theclose, and during its delivery by their almost breathless attention.

We have long known Dr. Austin to be one of the most accomplished gentlemen whom it has been our good fortune to meet, but not until last evening were we aware of his fine literary acquirements. In this opinion we have the support of all who were present thereat, and many others, whom we understand are preparing a testimonial of their appreciation of the Doctor's lecture on King Solomon's Temple,and his accomplishments as a literary gentleman of the highest social position. The leading Masons of the city are to prepare and endorse the documentary testimonial. May the distinguished gentleman lecture at other cities and much will be accomplished to briug the lecture business from under a very dark cloud, which of late is obscuring talent.

A Terrible Temptation.

One more day and a new year will be ushered into existence. Monday being the first day of the new year, we presume irany of the ladies of this city as elsewhere, will keep "open house." Gen tlemen will call who will expect to be entertained, according to the custom of lormer years. Of course, it will devolve on

the

ladies to exteud their best hospi

talities. Some no doubt will feel called upon to present their guests with the wine, cup filled with the intoxicating beverage. The seductive wine cup from the hand of a charming female, is indeed a "terrible temptation" to a gallant masculine. He will drink nine times out of ten, though at other times and in other places he may disdain to look with favor upon the temptatiou, and did a man offer him the same temptation, would take it as an insult. After drinking once, lie' calls elsewhere, is

offered.

auotUer drink from the band

of a fair female. This time he drinks without resisting the temptation. This will be kept up until ho goes reeling home'through the streets, and to bed. Next morning he awakes with a headache, feels that he is disgraced, goes down town to a saloon, aud drinks again to drown sorrow. Soon he is a frequenter of the saloon. The very ladies who

were

the cause of his fall, now desert

liim. He has gotten "too low", for their society. Such, ladies, is too frequently the history of a New Year's caller. Let it not be the case in our city for the year 1872. Don't tempt your geotlemen. jriouds. Flesh is yv-eak.mJ^.Vi

THE Journal innocently quotes the Terro Il.iuta GAZKTTK as a Democratic paper. The GAZETTE is neither a Democratic, Republican, independent or neutral paper. Its existence is one of those trifling mysteries that nobody thinks it worth while to inquire into.—Crawfordsville Review.

The editor of the Review is a man who spends the greater part of his time inquiring into the contents of bottles filled with cheap whisky. Further comment unnecessary.

THE Indianapolis Journal of this morning has a lengthy and able editorial article, evidently from the pen of that most able and caustic writer, W. P. Fish back, upon "How to Beat Grant." It is a very pointed article, and will receive the attention and comments of the GAZETTE when the senior editor again returns to his labors, which will be next issue.

From the New York Tribune, Dec. 28. A Vermilion Edict. Mr. Sagasta's Cabinet will have to show promptly whether it has any authority in Cuba. The Captain-General has issued a proclamation which surpasses in cold and devilish brutality anything of which we have any record in modern times. He announces to the Cubans, and to the world, that on the 15th of next month, even the present derisive offers of grace and pardon will cease that all insurgents captured after that date will be shot that all surrendering after that date will be condemned to perpetual imprisonment that white women captured "in the woods," that is to say, outside of the Spanish lines, will be sent out of the country negro women will be given up to their owners, and will be forced to wear a chain for fouryears. We shall have to look into the history of savage tribes to find any parallel to this stolid atrocity. In its own naked horror it dispenses with all comment. But bad as it is in itself, this proclamation becomes far worse when we think how the bloodthirsty volunteers will execute its provisions. Insurgents are to be shot. But every volunteer who has an enemy will shoot him on this wrrrant. Those who surrender will be imprisoned. But if a gang of Spaniards receive the surrender of a detachment of insurgents, does anybody imagine they will ever get to jail? It would be a much finer aud more Peninsular thing for the Spaniards to shoot them all and then say they captured them in a fight. They will save time and work, and gain much glory. And the Peninsular hates work as much as he loves glory. Then that provision about the women found in the woods. Every ruffian at the head of a band can go into the country, ravage the few remaining plantations shoot the men, exile the women, and take his pleasure in their desolated homes, after they have gone through the convenient farce of confiscation. The negro women are to be given to their owners. If the owners are not readily found, then they can be sold cheap for cash, though they may have been born free. If they do not like this, which is altogether probable, their proud spirits can be tamed by riveting a chain on their limbs, which may teach them in a few years how blessed is the patriarchal institution to which they have been restored.

Nothing can surprise the world in this groveling and bloody-minded knave. His career for the last three years has been one long series of robberies, murders and outrages. He is too coarse and ignorant to know or care what will be the consequence of his actions outside of the servile circle where he gives the law. He fears nothing from the Government at Madrid. He knows how he is regarded by them, and he repays their detestation with contempt. Secure in the support of the volunteers as long as he does their bidding, he imagines he can,afford to depise the good or bad opinion of the world. He doubtless issued this Vermiledict under the influence of rage and mortification caused by the recent fight at Manzanillo, where the Cubans were successful and the Spanish Col. Obregon was killed. It is not impossible that his imperious janizaries dictated this decree, but if this were so, his natural brutality coincided with his fears of them to make his compliance easy ami ready. His head has been clearly turned by the intoxication of murder and impunity, and he counts upon the weakness of his own Government and the patient forbearance of ours to carry him safely through this, as through numberless former infamies.

We cannot believe our Government is insensible to the merits of this rapidly growing danger. There is a point at which the civilized nations of the earth caunot longer view with neutral eyes the deliberate extermination of a people and destruction of a State. Gen. Sickles is here at a fortunate time. He is an unusually sagacious and observing diplomatist. No one in recent years has more thoroughly weighed and appreciated the Spanish character. In South America he learned the workings of Hispano-American politics. In Madrid he has seen and studied personally every leading man in the Government and the Cortes. He can tell the Presiident better than any one else how useless it is to expect redress from the present Cabinet of Spain. Mr. Fish needs no other assistance than that of his Consul-General at Havana to fuliy appreciate the brutal madness that reigns there. Two day* ago we said there was no immediate crisis in our relations with Spain that justified any expectations of a collision. We expected General Sickles to report to the State Department, to enjoy his leave of absence, to arrange his private affairs, and to return to the post he fills so ably. But this proclamation of Valmaseda changes everything. It is an insult flung in tne face of civilization. It is an act of brutal revolt against the spirit of the XTXth century. It is gravely to be feared that the cabal which nominally rules in

Madrid will be unable to control this new barbarity, or, if it makes the attempt, the effort may result in counter-revolu-tion. The nations of the world stand ready to join us, if we should desire it, in an overwhelming moral demonstration near the Government of King Amadeus. It rests for us to determine whether we shall join in such a demon stration, or whether, adhering to the precepts of Washington and Monroe in their fullest results', we shall ourselves take measures to correct this chronic outrage and menace to the peace of the conti nent.

From the Fort Wayne (Ind.) Sentinel.

Death of Archibald Leroy, the Allen County Hermit. In the northern part of this'county, deep in the heart of the primeval forests, stands a rude log cabin, until yesterday the home of Archibald Leroy, the hermit.

For nearly half century he lived the life of an anchorite in that lone and secluded spot, subsisting on wild game, fish, berries, aud vegetables which he cultivated in the little garden that surrounded his house.

At one time Archibald Leroy must have been a fine-looking man and his regular features, bright black eyes, and tall, straight form, gave him to the very last a distingue- air that age was unable to overcome.

It appears that when he was a youth of 20 he met a young lady to whom he became ardently attached—that they were betrothed—that on the evening prior to the marriage she begged him to release her from her pledge, because she did not IOTQ liim* and that upon his compliance she married a blase

recommendation, and whose reputation was that of a roue. Archibald L«roy thereupon withdrew from society, and came West. He built the house where he lived, and across whose threshhold he was carried to-day in his coffin.

He was a great student. The walls of his cabin are lined with standard works, aud all these bear evidences of frequent use. He was also an artist, and in his portfolio were found a number ot exquisite sketches of the beautiful scenery which surrounds his late home.

He was in many respects a remarkable man, with excellent traits of character, as his neighbors testify, aud with a wonderful store of information on every subject, no matter how abstruse or profouud its character.

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. DB, WALKER'S VEGETABLE VINEGAR BITTERS, 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, aud thus, instead of entailing four evils, confers four inestimable benefits. 6dw4w

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 audiences which cannot gather to the State House, the pulpit, or the stump. It is the constant interpreter of men's affairs, and of errors or truth is the daily seedsower. .tNitrrl November itour political harvest-time. As we sow we shall reap.
