General Cruft moved the appointment of a committee to draft resolutions of respcct, which upon being duly seconded, the chair appointed General Cruft, H. D. Scott, Wm. Mack, J. P. Baird, I. N. Pierce, and Hon. T.. B. Long as such committee.

The following resolutions were drafted and read Hesolvcd, That the members of the Bar of the city of Terra Haute have learned with deep sorrow of the decease of their lato brother Judge James M. Ilanna, which occurred at his residence near Currysville, Sullivan county, on Monday, January 15, 1872.

Itesolved, That, in the death of Judge JIaiina, this Bar is called to mourn the loss of au eminent lawyer—one who has presided with honor on the Bench of this District, and has held, with distinction, tho high office of Supreme Judge—who was learned in his profession, courteous in his bearing, upright in his life, and fcstoemed by all his friends and associates.

Mesotvcd, That tho members of this Bar attend the funeral of their deceased brother, and that a copy ot these proceedings bo furnished to the family of the deceased, to the citv press for publication, and to the Courts of Vigo county for entry upon their records.

Jt vas moved that the resolutions be adopted, pending which several short and appropriate speeches were made, which we give as full as our limited time and space will permit:

Mr. Baird—I have known Judge Hanaa •ever since I have been a member of the Bar. I have practiced law with him in the same side of the same cases, aud opposed to him. I have also practiced under him when he was on the Supreme Bench. He was a very good lawyer. He had special qualities very essential to a lawyer and especially a Judge, a clear judgment and a very fair stock of learning, probably as much as most lawyers. He was very courteous and stood as high in his professional character as auy lawyer I ever knew.

He was not a mua of very strong emotional feeling, did not form very many attachments. But, when he was a friend, he was a true one. As Judge, he was unbiased aud gave his ruliugsatid judgments impartially, whether friend or foe, was decided against. We regarded him as one of the best Judges we ever had on the Bench. His reputation as Judge on the Supreme Bench was always ot the highest character. He stood as high as any ot his associates on the Bench with whom he served. I liked him as a Judge, a lawyer and a citizen. Our relatious were close aud pleasant, professionally and socially, and it seems hard that he ha9 thus been stricken down in the very height of his career, and in the prime of life. I feel this loss, and to the Bar his loss is very great.

Hon. S.II. Buskirk—Mr. President: I have known Judge Hanna intimately for many years. When I first ma.de hi3 acquaintance, he was acting as Private Secretary of Governor Whitcomb. Afterwards I knew him when a member of the Senate. I knew him as a lawyer Hiui Jud^e of Vigo Circuit Court. I have practiced in his Court. I knew him afterwards as a Judge of the Supreme Bench. I have known him as a politician, having been engaged with him in many canvasses aud having served on committees with him where resolutions have been drafted.

In all the relations of life I always fouiid him to be a shrewd, kind intelligent, upright, fair, high-minded gentlemen. As Col. Baird has truly said, however, he was not what might be called a warm-hearted man rather that does not express my idea. He had few intitimate friends, though kind and courteous to all. To his intimate friends he was ever true, ever ready to serve them. I never knew a man on the Circuit Bench who was a fairer or more upright Judge than Hon. J. M. Huima. He n«ver allowed his personal feelings or preferences for or against an attorney to influence or sway his judgment, as a Judge.

As a politician, he was always straightforward. We always knew where to find Judue Hanna somewhat extreme in hi« views, though there was noconcealment of auy of his views on political questions. As a politician, lie always advocated that which he believed to be right. I aufrliere to express my regret at his death aud exceedingly regret that the other members of the court are unable to be present. It so happens that the Supreme Court is takiug a recess and the members were out of the city and could not well attend.

Hon. M. M. Ray—Mr. President: In the presence of the Bar bcfr« which Judge Hanna has practiced, it would hardly be appropriate that I p.b..ull attempt to express anything more than sincere regret at his death.

Mr. Mack—Mr. Chairman: I have known Judge Hanua ever since I have lived in this circuit, flfteeu years, baps more than that. I can well Dear

MEETING OF THE TIGO BAR.

Resolutions of Bespect to tlie Memory of the Late Hon. J. M. Hanna.

Remark* in Rrlef of Hon*.

H. BnskJrU

null j[, M. ltny, of the Snpremc Bencn, j?Ie«i«rs. BnirVl. Jlnck, I.ongr, HeXcan and Otltars cl ViffO.

The Vigo Bar held a meeting in the rooms oftlie Civil Circuit Court this forenoon, in accordance with a previous call, about half-past ten o'clock. There Mas a large attendance of the attorneys of the Terre- Haute Bar, Hons. S. H. Buskirk rind M. M. Ray, the former of the Supreme Bench and the latter recently so, also Mr. Golden, of Marshall. The meeting was called to order by Hon. Thomas B. Long, of the Criminal Court. Col. Edwards was made Chairman, and Mr. Thomas Harper selected as Secretary.

testimony to his ability as a lawyer to his courteous, noble and affable disposition. He was always of good cheer. He used to be the source of amusement, es pcciaily in Clay county, where he had many friends. He was ever ready to entertain aii with auecdotes which he had observed, aud not what he read in books.

As before stated, he was not what might be called a man of very many warm attachments. He was a peculiar man and had many peculiarities had a peculiar mind and talent. I can boldly fay that he was as honorable a man as I ever met. He was a high-minded gentleman aud a politician on whom the people could rely for the true expression of his sentiments, though he never possessed a style calculated to captivate the masses. He had powers which especially fitted him for drafting political platforms. He knew what would strike the impulses of the people. In his practice as a lawyer he was almost terriffic at times, but when he would come out of the court room he would be as genial and pleasant as if nothing had occurred to mar the serenity of his mind. My personal associations with him have ever been very pleasant and agreeable.

Mr. McLean—Mr. President. My relations with Judge Hanna have been very intimate for the last twenty years, during which time I had nought but the highest admiration for his character. He had many good qualities of head and heart. I knew him for several years, aud before becoming a member of the Bar when he was engaged in mercantile business. When I was a student at Bloomington I met him frequently. Our relations there, at Bowling Green aud other places have been very intimate. Mr. Hanna was truly a self made man. He was a man of more than ordinary integrity, in all the relations of life. I ion't think he could have been induced to do anything low or degrading. He was genial and pleasant at the Bar, on the stump, and in the family circle at the fireside, ever overflowing with fun. It seemed that his fund of anecdotes was inexhaustible. Wherever known his loss will be deeply felt.

Hon. T. B. Long—Mr. President: I can not let this opportunity pass without expressing regret at the death of Judge Hanna. I knew him when I was a law student. I remember many of the traits of his character, spoken of. I remember him as Supreme Judge personally, but know more of him through his decisions scattered through the reports than otherwise. I remember particularly his social qualities. The Judge was always the life of any party. I can hardly conceive that he is dead. My regret is as deep as any persons can be.

Hon. G. F. Cookerly—Mr. Chairman: Like Judge Buskirk, I have known Judge Hanna many years, perhaps a quarter of a century. I have known him as Private Secretary of Gov. Whitcomb, Prosecuting Attorney, Circuit Judge and Judge of the Supreme Court. I have always looked upon him as one of the most clearheaded men I ever knew in the State of Indiana, and had he lived, would not only have achieved greater distinction in thisState,but outside of it. But he has been taken from our midst in the prime of life while yet there seemed many years of usefulness before him. He has been taken from the Bar, the social circle and the political arena. We are here to-day as mourners of his loss. From his death, let us all learn the lesson that we, too, must prepare for the coming of the same messenger that has summoned from the earth, our friend of many years, Judge Hanna. Let us prepare ourselves and put our houses in readiness, so that when the summons comes upon us we will be ready.

The resolutions above given were then unanimously passed, and the members of the Bar, together with the Masonic fraternity, attended

THK FUNERA-IJ,

which occurred from the Centenery M. E. Church, this city, Rev. J. W. Wolf, of Sullivan, preaching a very eloquent and appropriate funeral sermon. At the close of the sermon, the mortal remains of the deceased were interred in the silent city of the dead, with Masonic honors of a very imposing character.

Republican County Convention. A Mass Convention of the Republican party of Vigo county will be held at the Court House, in Terre Haute, at 2 o'clock P. M., on Saturday, February 10,1872, for the purpose of nominating thirtyfour delegates from Vigo county, to the Republican State Convention to be held at Indianapolis on the 22d of February thereafter to select a County Executive Committee for the ensuing canvass to determine the time for holding a future Convention for the nomination of candidates for county offices, and to transact such other business as shall come before the Convention.

Republicans generally from every township in the county are earnestly invited to attend.

By order of the County Executive Committee. LINUS A BURNETT, Chairman.

Attest: NICHOLAS FILBECK, Sec'y.

ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—"Shin Fane, or Shamrock Green," was presented for the secoud time last night. The play combines in an unusual degree the elements which make up a successful. drama. Though the plot is not complicated, and does not present improbable situations, it is yet full of dramatic iuterest, has a sufficient dash of the sensational, preserves the unities perfectly, afi^, withal, from the opening to the closing scene sparkles with genuine humor, while the pathetic and the beautiful are not lost sight of. Unlike most most plays of this character, the interest is evenly distributed among the different characters, and is not absorbed by the star. The various members of the Company, especially Messrs. Dickson, Plunkett. and Brown, render admirable support.

The play will keep the boards of the Academy during the entire week. Next week, we understand, the Academy Company, with Mr. Riggs, will produce the piece at Terre Haute, and we can promise the citizens of that place a week of genuine enjoyment.—Ind Sentinel.

From the New York World, 10th.

The Romance of Crime—Mrs. Wilson Proves to be Mrs. Botts. In the case of George Botts, whose death-warrant has been signed by Governor Randolph to-day, some remarkable developments have been made. It appears that the woman Wilson on whose account Botts killed Pet Halsted, is in reality the wife of the murderer. The marriage certificate has been seen by Col. Johnson, the Warden of Essex county jail at the time of the trial. Both concealed the tact to save the wife from a trial for bigamy, and Botts has now revealed it only because the woman, after promising reformation aud securing all her husbaud's property, has entered a house of ill-fame in Philadelphia. The execution is to take place on the

For the Gazette.

"Tax-payers'" Position. If the salvation of Terre Haute in dollars and cents can not be secured without resorting to the mean and unjust principle of taxing the poor to enhance the rich, let her sink.—Tax-payer in Express of this morning.

It is a singular fact that "Tax-payer" should talk as he does in the above extract, when in his speech at the Court House Saturday evening, he talked in a complaining way of the fact, that the road would, in the opinion of many, make the poor richer and the rich poorer.

It is also a remarkable fact that this "Tax-payer," if we are hot greatly mistaken, is the same "Tax-payer" that in a recent communication to the Express, gave vent to some indignation, because it was probable that this appropriation would be carried by laboring men, or as he designated them "non-tax-payers," idlers, loafers and pimps." If a "poor" man is rich enough to own a house, "Tax-payer" v/ill shed a quart of tears over the outrage of taxing him about one per cent, for an enterprise that will advance the value of his property atleast 10 per cent. But if a "poor" man is not rich enough to own a house and pay taxes, he immediately degenerates into a "non-tax-payer, idler, loafer or pimp." Another singular fact is that "Tax~ payer," while he complains of the disposition to tax the people to a slight extent to secure important lines of railroad, is not, if we understand his position correctly, opposed to taxing them for the sake of helping to build rolling mills aud manufactories that would make his coal mines at Brazil more valuable and thus directly conduce to his own advantage.

Another significant fact and one which argues wellior this Southwestern Railroad enterprise, is, that thus far the little opposition it has enountered comes directly from rich men—rich "tax-payers" —who having got their property into sucli shape as not to be, as they think, very much benefitted by the future growth of Terre Haute, oppose all new enterprises of this kind that bring with them soon a slight tax. No business man, no mechanic, no laboring man, can aflord to allow these rich drones to pull the wool over their eyes by talking about taxing the poor to make the rich richer. If such were to be the result of this proposed appropriation you wouldn't find any opposition coming from the quarter it now comes.

In making what some may think these severe strictures upon "Tax-payers," position aud card, we disclaim any intention or desire, of producing the impression on any mind that he i» not siucare and honest in his opposition to this road, even although we might he justified in doing so by his assertion in his card of this morning, that this road is to be built to subserve private interests more than those of the public." The trouble with our frieud is he has to a sublime degree, the quality of character that was needed during the war to take Richmond, towit, and we say it with respect, bull-dog pertinacity, and having planted his feet against this enterprise, they are "thar" you know, aud in the effort to keep them "thar," he will quite conscientiously get himself into all sorts of contradictory positions, and be all the time as innocent as a child of the fact that he is letting his prejudices and personal interests run away with his judgment. However, "with all his faults, we love him still."

ANOTHER TAX-PAYER.

From the New York Tribune.

H. G. Goes for the Adininistrationists. While the howl goes on among the journalistic flunkies whose liveried hearts creep with horror at the thought of exposing corruption anywhere save among the Democrats, let us note a fact or two. They thought no committee was necessary, but it has been forced. They thought no special instructions were necessary, but orders to look specially into pecuniary and political corruption in the New York Custom House were forced. The committee talked of secret sessions, in accordance with the precedents, but the public demand was so clear that they yielded as gracefully as they might, and we have open ones. They wanted to stay in the Custom House, surrounded by hundreds of the very people whose interest it was to keep the truth away from them, if it could be done, but the public. demand was again so clear that they have hastily deserted the private room of th« Collector of the Custom House, and established themselves at a hotel. It was feared the merchants would not testify, but A. T. Stewart set the example, and they, are coming out bravely. It was feared that the prostitution of the offices as bribes for services in ward meetings would be ignored but scores of such instances have been laid before the committee, with names of witnesses, and they dare not refuse to summon them. Courage! Every work against iutrenched corruption is hard at the outset, but we are making brave progress.

IN his sermon of last Sunday evening, renouncing Unitarianism, the ReV. Mr. Hepworth declared his belief as follows: "I believe with all my heart, with all my soul, and with an increasing faith, in Jesus Christ, I believe—make no mistakes—Him to have been literally, and iu the technical or theological sense, the incarnation of a part of the Godhead. I believe that Jesus Christ is the love of God put into human shape for the redemption of the world."

That this is perfectly sincere and earnest we do not question but it involves a strange misapprehension of a fundamental principle in theology. Mr. Hepworth should understand that there can be no incarnation of a part of the Godhead. Deity is not divisible, and if it is incarnate at all, it is incarnate entire. When the love of God is put into human shape for the redemption of the world, the wisdom of God, the power of God, the infinity of God, the absolute self-be-ing of God—all the divine attributes—are incarnated therewith. Those who do not apprehend this have yet to learn some of the sublimest truths the human mind is able to perceive.—AT. Y. Hun.

OUR Des Moines correspondent intimates that a movement has been set on foot to present the name of Hon. James F. Wilson as a candidate "for the Presidency in the next Republican National Convention.

Mr. Wilson's name has been favorably mentioned in several Eastern journals. His reputation is sufficiently well established to warrant his friends in bringing him forward for any office in the gift of the people. If the Republicans of Iowa should present his name to the National Convention, they would undoubtedly find the movement seconded in many other States, while at the same time no personal antagonism would be aroused agaiust him ou the part of the present Administration.— Chicago Tribune,

(UP TO 3 O'CLOCK P. M. TO-DAY.) By the Pacific and Atlantic Telegraph,

Spain Willing to Apologize for the Outrage to tlie Florida.

Grant Not Anxious for War With Spain.

But Resolved to Protect the Sights of Americans.

The Unveiling of Franklin's Statue in New York.

Imposing Ceremonies.and Eloquent Speeches.

&c„ &c., &c.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—It has been proved to the satisfaction of the authorities that two Spanish war vessels at different times on the high seas fired into and overhauled, boarded and searched the steamer Florida.

A special letter from the Commander of the Shawmut, states that the Captain of the Spanish vessel Vasco De Ninrez Bibboa promised not to molest or hinder the Florida. The Shawmut, in view of the pledge, did not consider that the America was needed as her escort, when the latter saiied in the absence of the Shawmut. The Captain of the Spanish vessel molested her in direct violation of his promise.

Senor Roberts says his Government will apologise for the outrage. The President is not anxious for war with Spain, but has resolved to protect the rights and property of Americans at all hazards.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—It is reported that Charles O'Connor has withdrawn from his connection with the Municipal Bureau, and will not take auy part in the prosecution of the ring cases which have been in the hands of Gen. Francis C. Barlow. The Grand Jury of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, have agreed to adjourn uutil Friday, and it is alleged that rival juries, as far as the members are concerned, have settled their differences amicably.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—The ceremonies of the.unveiling of Franklin Statue will take place in Printing House Square at noon to-day. An immense assemblage, it is expected, will be present to witness the ceremonies of unveiling the statute, which will be of the most appropriate character, as the courmittee having the matter in charge, have been industriously at work making the necessary arrangements. Bands of music will be on the ground, and speeches will be made by several well-known orators. In the evening a grand banquet will be given in honor of the event, at which many prominent members of the press will be present.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—A very exciting game of billiards was played last evening at Cyrille Dion's billiard hall, between Dion himself and L. A. Gates, of California. The game was the usual three ball French carom, 250 points up, for $250 a side, Dion to discount Gates.

The game was very close up to the sixty-third inning, when the score stood: Dion, 141 Gates, 188. At this inning Dion, after several shots around the table, got the balls jawed, and proceeded

run the game out, making 109 points. Thus winning the game and money. Gates protest against the stakes being paid Diou, claiming that the rules of the games forbid the jawing of balls. The referee decided that Dion won the game by a score of 250 to 188.

NEW YORK, January 17.—A fire originated to-day in the basement of 32 Bowery, occupied as a shoemaking establishment. Before the arrival of the firemen the first floor and adjoining building occupied as a cigar store, were in flames. Before the fire was subdued over $10,000 damage was done fully insured., ..

The ceremony of unveiling Captain Albert DeGroat's statue of Franklin, took place at noon to-day, in the presence of an assemblage so large as to stop the cars and block travel in the vicinity of the statue while the ceremonies were in progress. The windows of the newspaper offices and other buildings commanding a view were also crowded. Bunting was displayed from mo3t of the buildings.

The statue was covered with the United States flag. The hands also only were decorated. The Fifth Regiment Band played several pieces within the inciosure, before the platform, before the the opening of the ceremonies.

C. C. Savage, on behalf of the Typographical Union, made an address of fifteen minutes' duration passing briefly over the events of Franklin's life, and then turning to Prof. Morse he welcomed his participation in the proceedings. Franklin, he said, caught electricity he thought from heaved, but it was reserved for Morse to yoke it to service of industry and intelligence. Wherever iron nerves traverse the earth there will be known the names of Franklin and Morse.

He closed by addressing DijGroat, scuipturer of .the statue, thankfully receiving the deed of trust from his hands, and pledgiug'themselves to guard it with the vigilance of love.

ST. LOUIS, January 17.—A fire occurred last night,bj* which 412 north Main street occupied by J. J. Beaky & Co. as a stove and tinware store was burned out. Loss on the stock §6,000. The hardware stock of A. F. Shepleigh & Co., next door

north,

was damagfed by water, probably

to the extent of $2,500 the stock on hand being worth $15,000. The store next door south was also damaged by water. The total loss on the building is some $3,000., -»-r ..L T_ .. 1 'Tho KS/vdlt Vl

site side of the river has sunk, and it is very doubtful whether it will ever be raised again. This dock like all other docks at New Orleans, is the property of a joint stock company, and is valued at about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

In the case of Patrick Logan, who is now in custody for the killing of Clarence Johnson, the evidence shows that the killing was an act of pure self defence, as Logan was cut with the knife of Johnson, who was pursuing him with cowardly and murderous intent. The Coroner's Jury is now in session, and there is no doubt their verdict will discharge Logan.

A white man uamed Thomas Murphy was found dead, lyiug wedged between two bales of cottton, on board the Thompson Dean, which arrived here last night. The inquest discloses the fact that he had got on' the steamer at the mouth of Red river, being intoxicated at the time. A verdict of death by suffocation wasrendered.

The state of political affairs is still the subject of deep feeling on the part of the people, and the impression in the community is that Gov. Warmouth will eventually have to succumb to the popular will.

MEMPHIS, January 17.—Arrived, the steamers Nick Longworth, from New Orleans, and St. Luke, from St. Louis. Departed, Nick Longworth, for Louisville. The river has fallen three inches. Weather clear and pleasant and business fair.

The stockholders of tlie Memphis and Charleston Railroad are holding a meeting here to-day, to ratify or reject the lease of tho term of years to the Southern Security Railroad Company of Baltimore, made by the directors of the first named road.

The time to present—one o'clock P. M. —has been occupied in arranging proxies, aud now an adjournment lias taken place until a strong opposition to leasing the road is maniiVsted, but it is believed it will be ratified by more than two-thirds of a majority.

Associated Press Report.]

CONGRESSIONAL.

SENATE.

Petitions were presented for the repeal of the salt duty for a national prohibitory law against Government manufacture of envelopes for national

schools

against

employing Government officers who drink intoxicating liquors. Mr. Sherman reported from the Finance Committee the bill repealing the duties on salt and iron, and moved its recommitment, which was opposed by Trumbull but it was recommitted—32 against 18.

Mr. Scott-called up the bill amendatory of an act to reduce the internal taxes, and for other purposes, passed July, 1870.

The bill as amended by the Committee of Fiuance provides that all taxes upon dividends, interest and undivided profits, heretofore assessed or collected from certain corporations, shall be remitted or refunded upon claim being made therefor, except such taxes as were levied for the first seven months of 1870. The rate is five per cent.

Mr. Scott explained and advocated the bill. Mr. Edmunds was opposed to the passage of this bill, and therefore he called up the regular order, the amnesty bill, which sent Scott's bill over for the day.

Mr. Sumner was not ready to proceed with his remarks on amnesty, so the Seuate went into executive session, and soon after adjourned.

IN Mr. Conkling's speech on the one term amendment of Mr. Sumner, made in the United States Senate a few days since, occurs this paragraph "Could the public eye pierce all the holy garbs put on by the force of the President, who do not and dare not let the real cause of their hate be seen, anew truth would gild Dr. Johnson's saying, that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." Could the people know -all the malignant virtue and busy sanctity which cloak rankling griefs over spoils and power, they would think the best revenue reform'the oue suggested by Britain's cynic:

Ob, that in England there might be

tax upon hypocrisy."

Persons who saw and heard the delivery of this set address of the Senatorial Adonis, say that these sentences were fairly hissed out between his pearly teeth, while his dancing blue eyes were turned in wrath upon the poor Senator from Massachusetts. We publish this little morceau to show what a fine leader Conkling would make for a first-class party which cared less tor votes than it did for "discipline." Because a Senator, in the exercise of his right, introduces and amendment to the Constitution which to say the least, has very fair authority iu the experience and iudgmeut of many able statesmen, this self-assumed ring master must crack his whip and insult the timorous man, by assailing him as a scoundrel who takes refuge in a cant of patriotism! We venture that no more digracefnl exhibition of ill-temper, bad manners, and contemplable buffoonery was ever made in a deliberative assembly. It is worthy of some ward bully in the proceedings of a town council, yet would be hardly tolerated even tliere. If common report has not lied about Senator Conkling, he has been dancing attendance at the portals of the Supreme Court chamber for mouths, waiting for the cast-olt shoes of the first Justice who shall have the grace to die or resign. Would it not be a splendid dispositition of this piece of senatorial coxcombry to elevate him to a seat on the highest judicial bench of the country? What a splendid, courteous and altogether winniug Judge Conkling would make, to be sure.—Ind. Journal.

HAIR VIGOR.

AYEB'i

A I I O

For the Renovation of the Hair!

The Great Desideratum of tlie Age! A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color and the gloss ana freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands ftrophied or decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from falling oft and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a

HAIR DRESSING,

nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on tlie hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
