OF FLOYD COUNTY.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 38,1872.

The General Order Business. We have on our table a bill, sent for collection against one of our citizens, which will show how business is done at the Custom House in New York, and how the "general order" business pays. The bill is as follows: "OFFICE OF THE

AMERICAN-EUROPEAN EXPRESS CO., 72 Broadway, N. Y., Jan. 4, 1872. Mr. J. D., Terre Haute, Ind.,

To Austin, Baldwin & Co., Dr.:

To charges on one package, ex-Steamer Algeria 1066: Customs, fees and expresses 8 2 80 8 to rage 31.50, cartage 75c 2 25 Brokerage

Whether this is true or not, time we hope will soon determine. If it is true, that during all the time that Leet has been receiving those large sums, he has also been drawing a salary iu the War Department,-it looks much like there is something very "rotten in the State of Denmark," and a cleaning out at Washington is as necessary, as in the city of New York, or Indianapolis.

THE trial of Commander Alexander A. Semmes, of the navy, who was guilty of inflicting cruel and unheard of punishments upon several of the crew of the sloop-of-war Portsmouth, has resulted, as [every one feared it would, in a farce.

Capt. Semmes was convicted—doubtless with great regret by his brother officers composing the court—and sentenced to three years suspension from duty and rank, and to be reprimanded by the Secretary of the Navy. This is a terrible retribution for the wrongs heaped upon the helpless seamen of the Portsmouth, and one that cannot fail to strike terror to the hearts ol similar gilt-edged offendders. For three years Capt. Semmes will enjoy perfect freedom from labor of all kinds. He can come and go when h© pleases, enter into business if he chooses, aud do anything he likes. Meanwhile the people are taxed to pay $3,000 a year, for by a careful omission of the words "and pay" after "rank and duty" in the sentence his salary is not interfered with. Refined and cultivated minds will of course see in the eouviction and sentence the disgrace and punishment intended, but we very much doubt if such men as Capt. Semmes and others in the navy like him will regard a three years' vacation on full pay as anything but a stroke of good fortune attainable only through the mediums of the •weat-box and a sympathizing court martial.

The Cnstorn House Investigations. The telegraphic news states that the leading Republicans of New York are becoming alarmed at some of the developments of the investigation now being conducted by a Committee of Congress, aud fear their effect on the fortunes of the party. They have expressed a desire that the Committee should remove its sittings to Washington. We can net see what good a change of locality on the part of the Committee could do anybody. The witnesses are more easily got at in New York than at Washington. The investigation will cost less where it

Co!lection by Adams 50 88 55 These are the sums required to be paid on a package of half worn clothes, the greatest value of which, is not to exceed $5. Of course the owner refuses to redeem the package. All the express charges were paid betore the package started from the old country, and Mr. D. never dreamed that he would be skinned to twice the vftlue of the goods, before they got through the thieving fingers of the New York Custom House officials.

But what we desire to call especial attention to is theitemof "Storage, $1.50 cartage, 75c!" This is what is known as the "General Order business" and what is now being so carefully inquired into by the Congressional Committee. Iu this case the notorious Col. Leet, put into his individual pocKet, about one-half the entire value of the package. It is said that the perquisites which find their way into his wallet and that of the "Mess" at Washington exceeds $200,000 per aunum.

It seoms- Leet hails from Pennsylvania, and thpit he served during the war on the stall of Grant. In 1868, while still in the service, he visited Mr. Grinnell,' of New York, with an introductory letter from President Grant, and the information that he (Grinnell) would be appointed Collector of New York. He also took occasion to add that he wished for himself the control of the "general order" which consists in storing those important goods for the removal of which to the warehouse of the owner or a bonded warehouse, a permit has not been obtained within forty-eight hours from the arrival of the cargo. The general order business is fat—very fat. Mr. Grinnell at once gave Leet so much of this business" that he turned it over to a man named Bixby on a contract to pay Leet $5,000 a year and one-half the net gain over $10,000. Then Leet returned to Washington and enjoyed himself holding all the time his place as clerk in the War Department. On the appointment of Murphy as Collector Leet came to New York, and has since taken entire charge of the "general order" business. It is claimed by the enemies of Grant that all this transpired with the President's connivance.

is now being carried on than if it were taken to the Capital. But we protest against any attempt to prevent a full exposure of any wrongs which may exist, or the most complete inquiry concerning any which may be alleged to exist. It is not exposure but concealment which will injure the Republican cause. Individuals who claim to be Republicans may suffer from exposure, but the life and moral power of the party depends upon fidelity to the public interests.

THE State Reform School of Minnesota appears to be a remarkably popular institution, as the Governor of that State in his annual message complains that when boys become troublesome or expensive to their parents their affectionate progenitors are apt to make out a case against them on trivial grounds and get them committed to the school for a term of years. To obviate this system of shoving parental responsibilities upon the public the Governor suggests that all parents should be obliged to defray the expeiises of their sons while the latter are availing themselves of the advantages of the institution. This he thinks would put an end to the abuse complained of, while parents who haiV® brought up their children so badly that they deserve commitment would'be obliged to indemnify the State for the expense caused by their disregard of their natural duties.

IT only transpired in Washington,

011

Monday, that the most damaging testimony taken before the Investigation Committee in New York was not made known to the President until last Friday. With regard to matters in the newspapers, President Grant is entirely in the hands of his Secretaries, Porter aud Babcock, who look over the files and extract such matter as he ought to see. It seems that these gentlemen saw fit to keep the President ignorant of the testimony of Messrs. Lindsay, Stewart and Greeley, and he was very much astonished to hear on Friday of the statements made by Lindsay respecting Leet and Griunell. This may lead to some trouble ameng the members of the military family, and will probably end in the appointment of new secretaries to read the journals for the President.

THERE is trouble among the French Communists in London. It woi'ld seem that the rather complete failure of their "beautiful dream" in Paris has inspired some of them with a hearty disgust for their former theories. At any rate, the colony in London is divided into two sharply-defined classes—those who have money, but no zeal and those who have zeal, but no money. The former have grown luke warm in the cause, and are, in consequence, styled by their former brethren "Aristocrats." Their ideas on the subject of property, in particular, have undergone a most singular change, and all the inequalities oi life which La Commune was to destroy abound in that portion of it which fled to the shores of hated Albion to escape the just punishment of their crimes.

THE following Washington dispatch we take from the Cincinnati Commercial: The report that neither the State nor Navy Departments had received any official information regarding the firing on the steamer Fiorida by a Spanish war ship, is incorrect so far as the State De partment is concerned, for the Secretary 011 Friday last received an official letter from the United States Consul at.Nassau, that the Florida had received indignities at the hands of the Spanish, and detail ing the particulars. On Saturday the Secretary sent a sharp letter to the Spanish Minister, Senor Roberts, demanding of his Government instant explanation. Of course, several months will elapse be fore an answer can be obtained.

THERE are 25,000 postmasters in the country whose salaries, being under $200, the civil service regulations will not touch. There are, however, 5,100 who receivo more than $200, who will, when vacancies occur, hare to stand a competitive examination to gain the appointment which has hitherto come from the "member."

THE Naval Register for 1872 is chiefly remarkable for the number of officers it enumerates who have evidently nothing to do. About two-thirds of them are exhaustively engaged in "awaiting orders." If such hard work as that doesn't kill them soon, they needn't be afraid of cholera or small-pox.

Grinnell vs. Mnrpliy.

The false friends who prepared the eulogistic letter with which the President was induced to dismiss the late Collector of this port are now found to have involved him in a serious misrepresentation of figures. We have no idea that General Grant meant to assail Mr. Grinnell but the unusual praise of Mr. Murphy for collecting more revenue at less expense is now shown to have been as untrue as it was seen at the time to be ungenerous. Look again at the figures, as presented in Senator Fenton's calm and fair discussion ofCustom House questions. "By an examination of the tables which, after great investigation and labor, 1 am able to place before the Senate, it' desired, in minute and accurate monthly retail, it will be found that the cost of collecting the customs revenue at New York from March 21, 1869, to June 30, 1S70, a period of fifteen months, by Mr. Grinnell, and from July 31, 1870, to October31,1870, a like period, by Mr. Murphy, is as follows: Total expenditures under Mr. Grinnell, exclusive of fees collected 92.029,363.31 Fees collected and expended in addition 262,125.38 82,881,488.67

Total

Expenditures under Mr. Murphy, exclusive of fees collected .$2,750,361.31 Fees collected and expended in addition Amount expended for fuel, gaslight, water supply, and stationery, not charged to Mr.Murphy's account, but included in Mr.drinneU's ." lor the previous corresponding period, say $5,000 a year 68,750.00-3,088,400.98

260,297.59

Dlfferenco in favorof M. Grinnell 203,906.26

We are perfectly sure that General Grant ha9 no intention to misrepresent those facts. He was deceived about them by those he trusted, just as the revelations here show that he has been deceived by an old staff officer, and by others to whom he has unwisely given his confidence. As the friend of General Grant, having labored for his election *nd earnestly striven, whenever possible, to-support his Administration, the 2Vi6«ne earnestly warns him against the danger of trusting such men further, and entreats him, for the country's good, as

well as his own, to shake them off.—New

York THbum.

The Fate of Dick Yates.

The Peoria, Illinois, Review, prints this plain story: "Springfield has just had a sensation. A former State official, and man who has occupied high positions, not only in the commonwealth, but in the nation, has been on a spree for some days in her classic precincts. On Friday he visited Bunn's banking house and demanded $50. It was refused him, whereupon he abused the teller like a pickpocket and had to be ejected. He visited a saloon and asked for a drink of whisky. The bar-tender told him he had none, whereupon he grew so violent that he had to be put out by force. Drunken, friendless and an outcast—such is the fate of one who aspired to beJPresident of the United States. He is now a perfect wreck, and even his friends have come to the conclusion that the only service he can render is to die. Whisky has swamped him as it has many another.

To those who are Bowed Down by Nervous Debility, and 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 pystems and hope will spring up in their hearts. No case of Dyspepsia, Biliousness, Intermittent Fever, Rheumatism, Gout or Kidney disease, ean resist this unequaled vegetable tonic which is unpolluted by any distilled or fermented liquor. 8dw4w

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE

FOR 187S.

The consolidation of Italy, so long fragmentary and impotent, into one poweriul State, with Rome as its capital the humiliation ot France through a series of crushing defeats, ending with the siege and capitulation of her proud and gay metropolis the expulsion of the Bourbons from the Spanish throne, ana the substitution lor them of a scion of the most liberal among royal houses the virtual absorption of the kingdoms of Saxony, Wurttemberg, .Bavaria, with Baden, Hesse, the Hanse Towns, &c., under the headsnip of Prussia, into the triumphant ami powerful empire of Germany and the arming of Russia to reassert her preponderance in the councils of Europe, or to prosecute her often postponed but never relinquished designs on the great city founded by Constantine and the vast but decaj'ing aud anarchical dominion of the Sultan, all combine to invest with profound interest the everchanging hases of our tidings from the Old

World. THE TRIBUNE, tnrough truste I correspondents stationed ar, all points in Europe where great movements are in progress or imminent, aims to present a complete and instructive panorama of events on that continent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle between middle-aged Feudalism and Ecclesiasticisui on the one hand and Nineteenth Century skepticism and secularism on the other. Recognizing a Divine Providence in all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on the great conflict as destined (like our own recent convulsion) to evolve from strife, disaster, and seeming 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, whereoy the government of our State has been revolutionized through an initial triumph of reform which surpasses the most sanguine anticipations. It is morally certain that the movement thus inaugurated cannot, in its progres, be circumscribed to any party, bat that its purifying influence is destined to be felt in every part of the Union, rebuking venality, exposing robbery, wresting power from politicians by t.iade, and confiding it in those worthiest and fitte to wield it. To this beneficent and vitally needed Reform, 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 theirjbygone intensity. However parties may henceforth rise or fall, it id clear that the fundamental principles wnich have hitherto honorably distinguished the Republicans are henceforth'to be regarded as practically accepted by the whole country. The right ol 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 smile of God.

Henceiorth, the mi sion of our Republic is one of Peaceful Progress. To protect the week and the humble from violence aud oppression—to extend the boundaries and diffuse the blessings 01 Civilization—to stimulate Ingenuity to the production of new inventions for economizing Labor and thus enlarging Production—to draw nearer to each other the 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 inspiring 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 8300 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 itequally valuable to those engage.' in other dspartments of Productive Labor. We spend more and more money on our columns tach 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 and interest by those of 1872. Friends in every State help us to make our journal better and better, by sending in your subscriptions and increasing your Clubs for the year just before us!

OUR POLICY FORESHADOWED.

It Means Complete Annihilation of the High-priced System.

I I S A A I N O N E

We have bidden farewell to the year 1871. We saw it die with many regrets. It was a good old year, for it gave us

A Complete Victory Oyer the Dry Goods Ring!

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

A E A I

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 i,he opposition stores 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.

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!

To enable us to obtain sufficient room lor 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 than Present Wholesale Prices!

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

OBEAT MABK-SOWIT SALE!

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

ENTIRE STOCK! KOTHIIfG HELD BACK!

In December last we bought a little too heavily ot 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 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 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 Do Laines at 12K and 15 cents. New styles of Tycoon Repps, for wrappers, at 18 and 20 cents. Our 30 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.
