Southwestern Railroad.
The correspondent of the Express, who signs himself "Tax-paypr," seems to us to have a personal spite against the Southwestern Railroad. He insinuates that the movement is for the purpose of "subserving private interest." This is the old, old Cry of one who can not defeat a inesure by legitimate argument. But we will admit that this road is projected for the purpose of "subserving private interests." There is not a man in this entire community, 'whether rich or poor, old or young but whose private interests will be subserved by the building of the T. H. & S. W. R. R. It will advance the general interest, and thereby advance the personal interest of every citizen.
But says "Tax-paver," the building of this road "taxes the poor to enhance the ricli." How fallacious is this argument. It is a mere assertion, without one particle of reason, or one single fact in the whole history of this road to support it. Why, the very poor pay nothing of this tax. The tax is levied on the taxable property of the township, and it is really the richer men who have to open their pockets and raise the $150,000. It might possibly work a hardship ou some small tax-payers, and will, we have no doubt, rest heavily on some of our heaviest property holders. This cry of "taxing the poor to enhance tnerich," is the long played out cry of men who have really no argument to overthrow the movement they oppose, or the men who are their adversaries.
If, then, the building of this road will enhance the general interest, how can "Tax-payer," with any sort of justice, suggest that "it will be easy to obtain subscriptions to the amount of $150,000 from the wealthy tax-payers." We are of the opinion that the small and honorable tax-payers of this township do not de-ire their personal interests shall be enhanced out of the pockets of the more wealthy, but are willing to pay their proportion, and do as much as any class of society in accordance with their means, to advance the future prosperity of this city. Men can only pay a tax in proportion to the amount of the property they possess, but our observation in that those who possess but litte are just as willing to pay for the public good, as those who possess much more.
Tax-payer" proposes to show in an other article, how $500,000 can be saved in constructing a railroad, on an other route to Iiobinson, Illinois. We hope he will be able to do this, but we apprehend he will find it a difficult job, if he starts from this city, and runs in a southwestern direction to this town in Illinois. However, we will wait, anxiously looking for his plan. Perhaps he will advocate running out on some other road, and then making a straight dash for "Robinson, thus leaving Terre Halite out in the cold to be dwarfed, and her prosperity checked.
To Develop Talent.
Place a man in a position that will fearfully tax him and try him, a position that will often bring the blush to his cheek and tlie.sweat to his brow, a position that will over-master him at times and cause him to rack his brain for resources. Place him in a position like this but every time he trips go to his rescue go not with words of blame and censure, but go with manful words of encouragement look him boldly in the eye, and speak tlrem with soul and emphasis. This is the way to make a man of a boy, and a giant of a man. If a man has pluck and talent, no matter whether he ever filled a given position or not, put him in it, if worthy, and he will soon not only fill it, but outgrow it. But put one in a position witha-faint heart—this is the way to kill him. Put him in grandly, with most unmistakable confidence. Drop no caveats, but boldly point the way, and then stand by with a will and countenance of a true friend. Thus try twenty men, such as have been named, and nineteen will_succeed.
AT last we^are beginning to get at the real facts concerning the Florida affair. Heretofore there hav6 been an abundance of rumors, pro and con, but really nothing upon which to base an impartial judgment now the affidavits of the Captain of the vessel, his officers and crew, give all the information neceasary and leave no room to doubt that the national honor has been outraged in a manner which demands prompt and thorough vindication. These affidavits, lately forwarded to the Navy Department, declare substantially that the Florida, while outside the marine league boundary and on the high se$s, was hove to
ljT
a Spanish man-of-war firing a solid shot across her bows, and searched that said man-of-war at the time the search w»8 madejaad her batteries ready for a broadside and*her decks cleared for action that this occurred off the Island of St.-Thomas, and that a second search took place after the Florida left Nassau.

MANY men are said to be eelf taught. No mau was ever taught in any other way. Do you suppose a mau to be a bucket, to be hung ou the wall of kuowledge and pumped full? Man is a creature that learns by the exertion of his own faculties. There are aids to learning of various kinds* but no matter iiow many of these a man be surrounded by, after all, the learning'is that which he acquires himself and whether he ia in college or out of college," in school or out of schoo', every man must educate -himself. And in our timps and in our community, every mau has the means of doing it.
THE Hartford
Courant says: "It is re
ported that the life of the late James Fisk, Jr., was insured for $300,000. The Charter Oak Life Insurance Company, of New York City, was offered a risk on his life of $30,000, which the company declined to take. It was argued that he was a good physical risk, but the officers didn't consider him morally sound, and on that account looked upon him as hazardous and let him alone, and the wisdom of their decision is now apparent.
A GOOD practical education, including a good trade, is abetter outfit for a youth than a grand estate with the drawback of an empty mind. Many parents have slaved and piuched to leave their children rich, when half the sum thus lavished would have profited them far more had it been devoted to the cultivation of their minds, the enlargement of their capacity to think, observe and work. The one structure that no neighborhood can do without is the school house.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Cincinnati Commercial, writing from Indianapolis, mentioned the name of Prof. J. M. 01eott, among others, in connection with the nomination for Superintendent of Public Instruction. We are requested to say that the use of Mr. Olcott's name in this behalf was entirely unauthorized.
From the Nation, January 11.
THE NE1Y YORK CUSTOM HOUSE.
Progress of Senatorial Investigation— HOTT far the President is ConcernedDamaging Disclosures.
The Custom House investigation has been going on vigorously during the week, the principal point of it being the "general order" system, of which there was so much talk in Congress. This system, we may explain for the benefit of the unitiated, is one under which imported goods, for whose removal to th« government bonded warehouses- or the owner's store a permit has not been obtained by payment of the duties or otherwise within forty-eight hours after the arrival of the cargo, are transferred to a general order warehouse kept by a private individual with the authorization of the government. The interest of this individual is to get as mauy goods landed before the owners can get permits for them as possible, and when they are placed in his store to charge as much as possible for keeping them. The control of this business, or of a great portion of it, was obtained soon after Gen. Grant came into power by a person named Leet, whose case has excited a great deal of comment in and out of Congress, and has been used freely against the President. It was examined by the Congressional Committee last, and has now been examined again. We shall attempt a brief summary of the evidence about it, setting down nothing which seems doubtful.
Leet, a Peunsylvanian, served on General Grant's staff, and in 186S was still in the armj*, and a clerk iu the War Department. In that year he came to Mr. Grinnell, with a letter of introduction and of warm general recommendation— not recommendation for anything in particular—from the President, and, on presenting it, informed Mr. Grinnell, what that gentleman did not then know, that he was to be Collector at New York. The announcement and the letter, coming at the same time, seem to have made Mr. Grinnell deferential, and he asked Leet what he could do for a person in whom the President took so much interest whereupon Leet frankly informed him that he must have thegeneral order business, or, in other words, the keeping of the stores in which the class of goods above mentioned was deposited, from which Leet acknowledged that he expected to make$60,000a year. Mr. Grinnell forthwith gave him a portion of it, and this Leet farmed out to a man named Bixby, under an agreement by which Bixby paid him $5,000 a year certain, and half of all profits over $10,000. During the year 1869-70, this went on, Leet continuing in th« army, residing at Washington, and drawing his pay iu the War Department, but complaining bitterly all the while of his not having more of the general order business than Mr. Grinnell had given him, and threatening him with removal if he did not give him more, but at the same time concealing his connection with it by having himself represented to New York by Mr. Lindsay, a friend of Mr. Grinnell's. These threats against Mr. Grinnell appear to have continued throughout the year, though the gains of Bixby and Leet were large. Finally, Mr. Grinnell was removed in a little over one year after he had taken office, he never knew exactly why and then, Leet moved into New York, aud openly took charge of the general order business under Collector Murphy, and still holds it. It is right to add that it appeared that, during the first year, he was living in the same house aud "messing" with Generals Babcock aud Porter, of the President's staff. The unfavorable inferences which might be and have been drawn from the President's share in the transaction with him are met by General Porter's testimony, which Leet corroborated in communications made to Lindsay that General Grant gave the letter to Mr. Grinnell, not as a recommendation for a place, but as a general commendation to Mr. Grinnell's kind offices, and iu the belief that Leet was going to settle in New York in business as a private individual, and that he (the President) also told Leet of his unwillingness to .have him take any office, after having served on his staff, ou the grounds of "propriety." This testimony would have more weight if when the scandal was first brought to light, Leet had been dismissed or had retired, or ever given any signs of uneasiness.
In the matter of ".assessments for political purposes" there has been a good deal of evidence. They were levied in Mr. Grinnell's time, but against his will, by a mysterious power, to which the witnesses all referred vaguely aud darkly. "A paper" would come to the Custom House assessing the officials at so much, left, if one might judge by the evidence, by an indivisible hand, but which we with.ourcarnal eye haveno hesitation iu declaring to have been brought by a common two-legged messenger from the Chairman of the National or
State Com
mittee. It was then "passed round/' and every man put down his name. It was once passed round in aid of an election in Connecticut or New Hampshire, the free and enlightened citizens of that State being apparently unatole to select their Governor or Legislature without getting a small pecuniary help from a parcei"of poor clerks in this city. Mr. Grinuell could not stand this, but he could not allow "the paper" to go back unfilled, lest the Mysterious Power should be vexed so he paid the whole sum, $7,000, out of his own pocket, a portion being refuuded to bim afterward by
other high officials. There is plenty of testimony that the practice still continues. In one ease which came to our own knowledge the other day, the victim, ru elderly man witto a family, was not asked coarsely for money, but was "advised" by his superior, as "a friend,", to join a certain Republican organization, which he did, and then the organization levied on him, not as a Custom House officer, but as a member. Mr. Greeley testified, on information and belief, that the "serenade" to Tom Murphy the other uijjht was paid lor t»v assesmcnt. We hope it whs well paid for f-r we can liaidly im igine a mortry in ro'e for a musician than fiddling a in a a a W in street, in front of a wiudow or balcony presenting nothing more inspiring than the dark outliues of "Tom's" graceful form, and those of two or three politicians of the same age.
To those wlio are liowed Down by Nervous Debility, aud despair of ever recovering the vigor and mien of manhood we earnestly recommend Dr. Walker's California Vinegar Bitters. Before they have finished the first bottle, they will feel the restorative principle at work in every portion of their broken-down systems and hope will spring up in their hearts. No case of Dyspepsia, Bilious ness, Intermittent Fever, Rheumatism, Gout or Kidney disease, can resist this unequaled vegetable tonic which is unpolluted by any distilled or fermented liquor. 8dw4w

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE
FOR
The consolidation of Italy, so long fragmentary and impotent, int one powerful State, with Rome -iS its capital the humiliation of France Uirough a series of crushing defeats, enlii:g with tiiesit'g» ami capitulation of lier proud and gay metropolis the expulsion of the ,.OJiiuns fioin tiie Spuush throne, ana the :-uosii ut:o!i ior iln-m oi a scion of ihe most U/eral unioiiii royal houses the virtual ab-orp-tion chf kingdoms ol Saxony, Vu. items'.

L'oi.sta.itine and the vast but decaj ing ad anarchic il dominion of the Su tan, all combine to invent with profound interest the everchanging liast's four dii gs fiom the Old World. 1'HK TRIBUNE, tnrougn truste correspondents siauomd ai ail ints in Europe \vlit-'"e great movements are in progress or iminine.it, aims to prsenta complete and in-sirut-tive panorama ol' events on that continent, and to mirror the prolong struggle between middle-aged Feudalism and Ecolesiasticism ou the one hand and Nineteenth Century skepticism and secularism on the other. Recognizing a Divine 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 seeming chaos, a fairer future fot 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 State has been revolutionized through an initial triumph of reform which surpasses Ihe most sanguine anticipations. It is morally certain that the movement thus inaugurated cannot, in its progre.-s, be circumscrib. to any party, but that its purifying influence is destined to be felt in every part of tue Union, rebuking venality, exposing robbery, wresting power from politicians by fade, and confiding it in those worthiest and fltte to wield it. To this benelicent and vitally needed Relorin, The Tribune will devole its best energies, regardless of personal interests or party predilections, esteeming the choice of honest and faithful men to ofllce as of all New Departures the most essential and auspicious.
The virtual surrender by the Democratic party of its hostility to Equal Rights regardless of color lias divested our current politics of half theirjbygone intensity. However parties may henceforth rise or fall, it is clear that the fundamental principles wnich have hitherto honorably distinguished the Republicans are henceforth to be regarded as practically accepted bv 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 of 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 suiile of God.
Henceforth, the mi sion 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 or Civilization—to stimulate Ingenuity to tt'o production of new inventions for economizing Labor and thus enlarging Production—to draw nearer to eacli other the producers of Food and Fabrics, of Grains and Metals, and thus en liance the gains of Industry by reducing the cost oi transportation and exchanges between larmers and artisans—such is the inspiring task to which this Nation now addresses itself, and by which it would fain contribute to theproKi es, 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 S3P0 worth of produce per annum can afford to do without our Market Reports, or others equally lucid and mprehensive. 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 inotherdspartments of Productive Labor. We spend more and more money on our columns tach year, as our countrymen's generous pati onage 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. Friends in every State! help us to make our journal better and better, by sending in yoursubs.criptions and increasing your Ciubs for the year just before us!

OUR POLICY FORESHADOWED.
It Means Complete Annihilation of the High-priced System.
I S A A I N O N E
We have bidden farewell to the year 1871. Wo saw it die with many regrets. It was a good old year, for it gave us
A Complete Yiciory Over Hie Dry Goods King!
Still, with faith in 1872, we welcomed the new year and entered into the field strengthened by the prestago that always comes in the wake of
A 6 A 1 I O
Determined that the High-priced Dry Goods System should never rear its head again iu the city of Terre Haute.
Nearly Two Years of War Lie Behind.
Overmatched.pnd exhausted the opposition stores have about deserted the field, and no longer attempt to follow lis in prices or to dispute our leadership.
FIRST FLANK MOVEMENT FOR 1872.
Another Startling Reduction
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.
SOMETHING 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 bo 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 than Present Wholesale Prices!
Ther'e seems no other way out of the dilemma, and we invite the entire population of Terre Haute and the surrounding country to this
GBMT MAKK-TOWS 8AM2!
Our prices for Winter Goods will be the lowest ever known in Indiana, since the close of the great rebellion, and sale will bo one of the heaviest blows the High-priced system has ever received at our hands.
ENTIRE STOCK! XOTlSStfG MEUfe BA€H!
In December last we bought a little too heavily ot Sprague, Merrimack, Pacific and Cocheco in dark colors. While they are just the tning for winter wear, they are not light enough ior our spring trade. We have, therefore, decided to place on sale our ENTIRE STOOK of
Cocheco, Sprague, Merrimack and Pacific Prints
Yard-wide English Prints, worth 25c, 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 ior spring wear, but we are determined not to be overloaded with winter goods when the spring opens.
A CLEAN SWEEP UPON DKESS GOODS.
