No young city in the Mississippi valley has before it a more brilliant future, than this. Nature has done everything for 4. Has placed us nigher the great block coal where there is an inexhaustible supply of water for all manufacturing purposes, than any other point. This is a consideration worthy of the most careful attention. It will make us a great manufacturing city, if we do not trifle away this important advantage. Let the question be carefully considered—can we afford not to subscribe the $150,000, and thereby lose the T. II. & S. W. Railroad We think not.

HON. JABtES M. HANNA, ex-Judgeof the Supreme Court, died yesterday morning at his residence near Currysville, Sullivan count}'. Judge Hacna has been a prominent man in the political affairs of Indiana for the last quarter of a century In the earlier part of his life he was for many years an editor then a State' Senator from Clay county was next appointed to the Supreme Bench to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Judge Gookins, and was reelected in ]80S to serve the full term of six years, associated with Judges Davidson, Worden and Perkins. After retiring from the bench, in 1864, he was for a time the editor of the Daily Herald, but soon relinquished that duty, and removed to his farm in Sullivan county, which he personally superintended. He was elected to the Stale Senate in 1866, and served his full term. He was in poor health even then, and since his appearance in the General Assembly in 1870 has had but little, if anything, to do with public life.

ONE of the most popular brands of Virninia plug tobacco in the California market derived its reputation from a spurious article grown and manufactured on the Pacific coast. Some years ago, before the railroad was completed, the market became quite bare of light plug. A large dealer conceived the idea that a substitute could be improvised from the California product, and a judge of the article was sent into the Napa, Sonoma and Russian river sections, where he bought up the choice of the stock which the farmers had raised. This was manufactured into ping, a fancy name was given it, and it was sold for the best Virginia, giving such entire satisfaction that a large demand for it has continued to this day. The original stock was soon exhausted, and it has never been duplicated in California, so that now the dealers are obliged to put the favorite brand

The True Question.

The question is not whether we can afford to give the $150,000 toward building the Terre Haute & Southwestern Railroad, but-whether we can afford not to do it. Whether the city of Terre Haute, with all the promises and guarantees gtveu by the Directors of this road, can aflord to remain still and behold other roads traversing the very sections of contry through which this one proposes to go, and thus draw from this city the very trade which she ought naturally to have. Can we afford to have this done That is the question which we have to look full in the face.

WHAT has got into the Indianapolis Journal? That pupor copies without dissent an article from this week's Nation bearing down upon President Grant in connection with the Ifew York general order business.—St. Louis Republican.

The matter with the Indianapolis Journal is, that its editor will not be tied to the political coat sleeve of any man, and has independence enough to expose and denounce thieving and robbing wherever it may be found. He has the manly habit of "speaking out in meeting," even though it sometimes hurts partisan frieuds. In short, he clings to the old fogy idea that a true journalist should think more of his country than of any party, and should never lend the columns of his paper to covering up rascality, eveu though it bo discovered within the shadows of the White House.

WE direct attention to an article in this issue from the New York Tribune. It shows, that although the Committee on Retrenchment and Reform is composed largely of Administration men, Btill it is uucovering a system of thieving in the Custom House at New York, that is decidedly sensational. The most of this official thieving seems to be done by the "mess" who «at their dinners at the White House, and we mistake our guess, if some of it is not brought pretty close to the room in which the President resides. At any rate the examination is becoming interesting, and the succinct statement made by the Tribune will bear a careful perusal.

THE late Dr. Marshall Hall, of Eng. laud, said:

BOUTWELL has be^N endeavoring to explain to the Committee of Ways and Means the transactions- with the London Syndicate by which he paid out several millions of public money in apparent violation of law. But as violation of law has been a common thing throughout Grant's administration, it would be curious if Mr. Boutwell should make an exception of himself by prov-

A BILL passed the Territorial Legislature of Utah the other day, providing for the election of one hundred and fifty delegates to a convention to frame a State Constitution, preliminary to an application for admission into the Union. The election is to be held on the 29th inst., and the Convention to assemble on the 19th of February.

Southwestern Kailroatl Meeting at Eobi.ison. Pursuant to notice, a large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of Robinson, Crawford county, Illinois, was held on Saturday evening, January 13, 1872, for the purpose of having an expression upon the subject' of the CQUstruction of tne Terre Haute Southwestern Railroad via Robinson.

Dr. S. D. Meserre was called to the Chair, and Wm. C. Wilson appointd Secretary.

On motion, Major Guy S. Alexander was called upon to state the object of the meeting, which he did in a clear and forcible manner, dwelling at some length upon the advantages to our county and the town of Robinson, which would ensure from the construction of the road as proposed.

Major Alexander was followed by Dr. RobD in a few remarks favorable to the enterprise, and moving the appointment of a corBmittee of three by the Chair to report resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting.

The motion of Dr. Robb being carried, the Chair appointed Messrs. Robb, Z. Powers, Esq., and Major G. S. Alexau^ der to constitute said.Committee, who retired for deliberation.

During the absence of the committee, short speeches were made by C. C. Fletcher, John C. Page and others.

The committee returned and through their chairman, Dr. Robb, reported the following preamble and resolutions

WHEREAS, The interest of our town and county demand the speedy con struction of a railroad through the cen ter of the county, so as to promote the general benefit of all its citizens and whereas, we are informed that the Terre Haute & Southwestern Railroad Company has been organized by citizens of Terre Haute for the purpose of constructing a railroad from the city of Terre Haute, in Vigo county, Indiana, in a southwesterly direction through the center of our county, which will secure the above end and that the citizens of Terre Haute and Harrison township, in said Vigo county, and other parties in Indiana, by the earnest efforts they are now making will be able to raise the funds necessary for the completion of said road from Terre Haute to and across the Wabash river into this State therefore

Resolved, 1st. That with due regard to any obligations we may have incurred to any other railroad company intending to construct a^ railroad through our town, we hereby tender to the citizens of Terre Haute and Harrison township our hearty sympathy and co-operation. 2. That in case said citizens of Terre Haute and Harrison township and others acting with them, shall furnish the funds necessary for the construction of said railroad from Terre Haute to and across the Wabash river, we will extend to said railroad company all the influence, encouragement and material aid in our power for the purpose of continuing the construction of said railroad through our town and county. 3. That a copy of the proceedings of this meeting and of these resolutions be immediately forwarded to the President of said railroad company.

On motion, the report was received and the committee discharged. The pream ble and resolutions were then, on motion of G. W. Harper, adopted without a dissenting voice.

Party Discipline.

There are many things indicating a thorough ehange in the method of party discipline. The old style of committing the business of electing delegates to conventions, and nominating candidates, to a small squad of ring masters and politi cal bummers, is going, if it lias not already gone, out. To ensure his election a candidate must now have something more than the regular nomination. He must possess a character that will bring him the support of honest men. The number of free-born American* citizens who boast that they never scratched a ticket is becoming less every year, and the judicious exercise of the inalienable right to scratch is likely to prove one of the most efficacious means of political purification. It is aright which should not be abused however. It should only be exercised where, by treachery or fraud, incompetent or disreputable men are foisted upon the party. When the delegates to a nominating convention are fairly chosen it rarely happens that any just cause for complaint can arise, and the mere fact that a man's individual preferences may not be represented upon a ticket will not justify a refusal to abide by the result, if the candidates selected fill the measure of official capacity and integrity. It is a matter of history that open and unblush ing frauds have heretofore been perpetrated in ourState conventions, by which the voice of the majority has been stifled, and candidates who have brought the party into disgrace have been placed upon the ticket by false counting, con nived at by th® officers of the convention. This game has been played too often. It will not succeed again. Recent developments have shown that the men who carried on and profited by these practices were guided by a spirit of selfishness. Their crimes and peculations have reflected disgrace upon tiie party. A man who will resort to fraud to procure a nomination is almost sure to be a dishonest officer, and when exposure comes, the party must bear the odium resulting from his misconduct. If Indiaua were as assuredly Republican as Iowa or Massachusetts, we might allow a fride margin for local disaffection?, and still run no risks of defeat at the polls. But Indiana is a close State, and the fact that our election occurs in October makes it one of the pivotal States upon which the Presidential election may turn. This gives additional emphasis to the consideration we would urge upon Republicans in favor of an unexceptionable ticket, fairly selected by a convention composed of the best men of the State. To secure this desirable result it will be absolutely necessary to put aside the personal and local quarrels that weaken the party in some quarters. This may be a hard thing to do, but our friends must decide for themselves whether they prefer the temporary gratification of personal resentment to the success of the party in the State and perhaps the National elections. We do not presume to judge of the merits of the controversies that have weakened and divided us in the Fourth and Seventh districts, and in other localities. It is a fact, however, that if these dissensions are continued much longer, it will not be long until our adversaries will settle them all by becoming masters of the field.—Ind. Journal.

St. Thomas, but has been fired on again and searched on the high seas after she left Fassau. Officials to-day received the following dispatch from him from New York: "Besides the outrage on the Florida off St. Thomas, our flag was again insulted oft'Nassau, whence the Florida was followed by the Spanish man-of-war Desaubridor—fired at twice, boarded by an armed boat's crew and papers and ship examined." Members pf. Congress have received similar advices.

THE strange and thrilling intelligence smote Covington, yesterday, that Jes.«e R. Grant had resigned tie office of Postmaster in that city. As there are 110 persons holdinglucrative national offices in Kentucky who "fought for the flag," would not this be a good opportunity to break in upon the monotony of the policy that has heretofore excluded them?— Sunday Commercial.

Recognizing a ivine Piovidence in all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on the great conflict as destined (like our own recent convulsion) to evolve from stiife, disaster, and se ining chaos, a fairer future for the toiling masses of mankind.

In our own country, a war upon corruption and rascality in office has been inaugurated in our city, whereDy the government of our fcStatS has been revolutionized through an initial triumph of reform which surpasses llie most sanguine anticipations. It is morally certain that the movement thus inaugurated cannot, in its progress, bexircumscribtd to any party, but that its purifying influence is destined to be felt in every part of tne Union, rebuking venality, exposing robbery, wresting power from politicians by ade, and confiding it in those worthiest and fitte to wield it. To this beneficent and vitally needed Relorm, The Tribune will devote its best energies, regardless of personal interests or party predilections, esteeming the choice of honest and faithful men to office as ot all New Departures the most essential and auspicious.

The virtual surrender by the Democratic party of its hostility to Equal Rights regardless of color has divested our current politics of half tlieirjbvgone intensity. However parties may henceforth rise or fall, it is clear that the fundamental principles wnicli have hitherto honorably distinguished the Republicans are henceforth to be. regarded as practically accepted by the whole country. The right oi every man to his own limbs and sinews—the equality of all citizens before the law—the inability of a State to enslave any portion of its people—the drty of the Union to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoyment 01 his liberty until he forfeits it by crime—such are the broad and firm foundations of our National edifice and palsied be the hand that seeks to displace them Though not yet twenty years old, the Republican party has completed the noble fabric of Emancipation, and may fairly invoke thereon the sternest judgment of Man and the benignant smile of God.

Hencelorth, the mi slon of our Republic is one of Peaceful Progress. To protect the week and the humble from violence and oppression—to extend the boundaries and diffuse the blessings 01 Civilization—to stimulate Ingenuity to t-.e production of new inventions for economizing Labor and thus enlarging Production—to draw nearer to each otherthe producers of Food and Fabrics, of Grains and Metals, and thus enhance the gains of Industry by reducing the cost of transportation and exchanges between larmers and artisans—such is the iusjjiring task to which this Nation now addresses itself, and by which it would fain contribute to the progress, enlightenment and happiness of our race. To this great and good work, The Tribune contributes its zealous, persistent efforts.

Agriculture will continue to be more especially elucidated in its Weekly and Semi-Week-ly editions, to which some of the ablest and most successful tillers of the soil will contribute. No farmer who selis $300 worth of produce per annum can afford to do without our Market Reports, or others equally lucid and mpreliensive. If he should read nothing else but what relates to his own calling and its rewards, we believe that no farmer who can read at all can afford to do without such a journal as The Tribune. And we aspire to make it equally valuable to those engage.! inother dspartments ol Productive Labor. We spend more and more money on our columns each year, as our countrymen's generous patronage enables us to do and we are resolved that our issues of former years shall be'exceeded in varied excellence end interest by those of 1872.

OUR POLICY FORESHADOWED.

It Means Complete Annihilation of the High-priced System.

I S A 3 1 A I N O N E

We have bidden farewell to the year 1871. was a good old year, for it gave ua

A Complete Yictory Oyer the Dry Goods Ring!

Still, with faith in 1872, we welcomed the new year and entered into the field strengthened by the prestage that always comes in the wake of

A Git E 1 1" VIC TOBY!

Determined that the High-priced Dry Goods System should never rear its head again in the city of Terre Haute.

Nearly Two Years of War Lie Behind.

Overmatched and exhausted the opposition stcyes have about deserted the field, and no longer attempt to follow us in prices or to dispute our leadership.

FIRST FLANK MOVEMENT FOR 1872.

Another Startling "Reduction in Prices!

It seems to be as well known to the public as to ourselves that our store, though greatly enlarged last fall, and now running back a depth of one hundred feet, IS STILL INADEQUATE TO ACCOMMODATE OUR MAMMOTH TRADE.

SOMETHIiVG MUST BE DONE!

To enable us to obtain sufficient room for our Spring Goods, else when the season opens we shall be so badly crowded as to be unable to do a profitable and satisfactory business. We have therefore decided to place on sale immediately our ENTIRE SOTCK of

Winter Goods at Less llian Present Wholesale Prices!

There seems no other way out of the dilemma, and we invite the entire population of Terre Haute and the surrounding country to this

©BEAT MABK-BOW3T SAM2!

Our prices for Wifiter Goods will be'the lowest ever known in Indiana, since tlie close of the great rebellion, and sale will be one of the heaviest blows the High-priced system has ever received at our hands.

ESTTSSSE STOCK I KOTBSETCJ HEL© BACK!

In December last we bought a little too heavily of Sprague,- Merrimack, Pacific and Cocheco in dark colors. While they are just the thing for winter wear, they are not light enough lor our spring trade. We have, therefore, decided to place on sale our ENTIRE STOOK of

Cocheco, Sprague, Merrimack and Pacific Prints at 9c.

Yard-wide English Prints, worth 25o, at 12£c. Common Prints, 5c. Fast-colored Prints at 8c. We shall lose considerable money on these Prints, and other kinds of goods not suitable for spring wear, but- we are determined not to be overloaded with winter goods when the spring opens.

A CLEAN SWEEP UPON DRESS GOODS.

Big lot of best American De Laines at 12% and 15 cents. New styles of Tycoon Repps, for wrappers, at 18 and 20 cents. Our cent Dress Goods reduced to 25 cents. Our 35 cent Dress Goods reduced to 30 cents. Our 40 cent Dress Goods reduced to 35 cents. Finer goods reduced in the same proportion.
