STOCK CAMPBELL is hibernating in New Orleans.—Indianapolis Mirror. The GAZETTE office has $7.50 invested in this Stock, which stock can be secured for a very small consideration.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—From the Indianapolis Sentinel we learn that "a freight train on the Indianapolis & St. Louis road, going west, yesterday, was run into by a rear train and the caboose demolished. The first mentioned, some two miles this side of Danville, broke coupling, and this accident occurred three times in succession. A flagman attempted to stop the coming train, but the slippery track prevented its checking lip in time. A resident of Indianapolis, Mr. Hitchcock, the only passenger in the caboose, discovered a collision imminent, sprang out and took to the woods. Some of his friends jokingly assert that a full quarter of a mile intervened before he stopped to examine the situation. Mr. H. was wise in vacating the car."

Foreign Lions and Domestic Toadeaters. Editor of Terre Haute Gazette: The

furore

which the advent of a sprig

of royalty creates in this country, is rather amusing to a European who has lived in countries where such lions have their native haunts. Familiarity, they say, breeds contempt. People in Europe do not go far out of their way to see Princes, Dukes, or even live monarchs. They are too abundant there to be much of a curiosity, and by far too abundant for the good of the people.

There is, certainly, a va9t difference in this respect, between the theory and practice of Americans—a wide contrast between the spread-eagle Fourth of July patriotism, with its wholesale denunciation of the rotten monarchies, effete dynasties, and odious despotisms of the old world, and the gushing toadyism and disgusting obsequiousness which greet any stray scion of said eiSete dynasties who may chance to set foot on our shores. But to the credit of the American name, the great masses of the American people stand aloof from this degrading manworship. There are thousands of sturdy American freemen who refuse to bow the knee to the Baal.

Aristocracy, whether it be the genuine hereditary article of the trans-Atlantic, or the miserable codfish imitation of home humanity, it is the parvenu and shoddy families, the Messrs. Snob and the Miss Flora McFlimsies that go wild with excitement at the approach of a stray cub from the royal or imperial menageries of Europe, aud hasten to pay tlieir homage and prostrate themselves before the throne of their idolatry. "Would It not be well for us to create a few Dukes here for their special benefit? What's become of Grand Duke Gwyne? Even he, in the absence of a better, would be "a God-send to shoddydom, Then there's Louis JJapoleon. He i9 out of a Job at present, and no doubt could be engaged at a reasonable rate. A live Emperor would throw even a Duke in the shade.

But, seriously, the young Russian ou a starring tour through this country, should be treated with all proper respect, but this thing of professed Republicans making such unseenly displays of fulsome toadyism to mere hereditary rank is absurd and incongruous.

We have been in the habit of laying the flattering unction to our souls, that Europe was in love with our institutions and ripe for a republic, but from the triumphant tour of a representative of the most despotic power in Europe through our country, the world would be led to believe that the reverse is true that for all our loud-mouthed republicanism wo have a sueaking love for the pouip and paraphernalia of royalty, and that this republic will, at no distant date, meet-the fate of yearly all its predecessors, which wealth and corruption brought to untimely graves, when an aristocracy of wealth shall arise and. demand a central luminary in the shape of an Emperor or King, around whom they cap revolve and shine by his reflected splendors,

The foreign-born citizens of this country want no Kings, Princes or Dukes in theirs. They have had enough of them. But if our American aristoorats have a hankering after these luxuries, the downtrodden masses of Europe would be only too happy to ship them over the entire brood. CIVIS MONDI.

Improvement of the Wabash. Our excellent and worthy Representative, the Hon. W. E. Niblack, has recently introduced in Congress a bill for the improvement of the Wabash, by a

worthy the attteution of Congress, and

are having our railroad facilities for the operations of commerce daily enlarged, the increased facilities are scarcely in the ratio with the constant increased augmentation of agricultural products and the consequent increase ot trade generally. It is al.-o well known that for heavy freights, water carriage is always cheaper than by railroads, aud as the charges of freight are diminished the profits of the produce are increased. The erection of the dams necessary to secure permanent liavigation will create a large amount of water power that will be available for manufacturing purposes. Thw will add much to the wealth and material prosperity of the country. But really the greatest benefit to be derived is the competition which it will give in the transportation of agricultural products, aud relieve the public from the imposition to which they are now subjected by monopolies in the carrying trade of the country. Judge Niblack's long experience, aud the high position he holds in Congress, his acknowledged integrity aud fidelity to the interests of his constituents, afford us the most flattering assurance that he will succeed in obtaining lor them this inestimable boon. His efforts are also, we learn, warmly sustained by Marshall and Col. Crebs, of Illinois, whose, constituents are no less interested in the proposed improvement than those of Judge Nibiack.— Vincennes limes. Tlie Sharpest Bank Swindle yet Recorded.

The Kansas City News gives the following account of. the latest swindle on record

A well dressed gentleman, who for identification we will call Smith, entered the bank, and in a straightforward, busi-ness-like manner, desired the bank to advance him the sum of $800 on a draft drawn by a banking firm in a neighboring State. The parties being strangerc, the bank informed him that they could not advance the mouey. "Well," said Smith, "it will make no difference. You can take the draft and send it forward for collection, and I will wait until you get returns." This was agreed to by the bank, and the draft was sent forward for collection. In due time the bank received a handsomely gotten up draft on a banking house in New York, with the proper govern nietft^tamp printed in, for the sum of $800, which account was duly paid over to Smith, who departed.

The draft was sent off to N»W York, and in a few days the bank received the consolihg information that the whole transaction was a complete and successful fraud and swindle.

This is a game which could easily have been played upon the most careful banking house in the country.

LONDON,Feb.6.—Information received here states that the Russian Government has made a proposal to the Government of Turkey with a view to the formation of an alliance, offensive and defensive between those two nations. This new movement is considered as menacing the British interest in the East.

PARIS, Feb. 6.—It is rumored this morning that President Thiers had been fired at near his own residence by an unknown assassin. The report which creates considerable excitement Cannot be traced at present.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—Thomas Kelly, of St. Louis, and George Rooke, of Jersey City, have made a prize fight match for one hundred dollars aside and the middle weight championship. They agree to weight at one hundred and fifty-four pounds. The battle is to come off within fifty miles of Detroit.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—The tone of the English press on the subject of the American claims, creates no especial excitement in official circles. The State Department has most undoubtedly been notified that a Committee is now on the way from Britain, containing a withdrawal from the agreement to submit the Alabama claims to arbitration, provided England's liabilities for indirect damages remain open to the question.

TERRE HAUTE, IND.: TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY^, 1872.

A Herald's special from London says: The Times, in an editorial yesterday, says: "The Treaty of Washington has become inoperative for reasons hot based

a perfect understanding between signatory parties, and it is with the utmost reluctance that we contemplate the possibility that the reference of this question to arbitrators may come to nothing."

It adds, "Englaud must be extremely moderate. A satisfactory answer from Washington excluding the American claim for the indirect damages from the case cannot be anticipated,and the misunderstanding which this would definitely establish between Great Britain and America, can have no sequel but an abandonment of the idea of the French for arbitrators."

CINCINNATI, Feb. 6.—On ^account of many complaints through newspapers and otherwise against the Cincinnati Soup House, at Chicago, the Committee have passed a resolution ordering its discontinuance so soon as the presetit supply of materials on hand is exhausted.

Alderman Davis said the representations that the soup was taken only to be wasted, was wholly without foundation. The trouble with Mr. Dexter and hi3 committee was that they wanted the handling of the money donated by Cincinnati, and nothing short of that would satisfy them. He said Mr. Meilill had no more confidence in the general committee than the Cincinnati committee had.

All the members of the committee expressed their confidence in the porrect management of the Soup/House, and were in no doubt as to its utility, but as the Chicago Relief Society had thrown such disparagement upon the character of the charity, and recommended its discontinuance, they agreed that it would be ..better, not to force the thing upon them, and .unanimously adopted the resolution. -, o*v

Miscellaneous business transacted. Mr. Morton offered a resolution ii. relation to the manufacture of Bessemer steel, and said he would call it up at an early day and submit some remarks on. the superiority of Indiana for making the steel, and the importance of improving the harbor at Michigan City, Indiana, so as to bring the iron mines of Lake Superior into more direct communication with the coal fields of Indiana.

more than five thousand

dollars for each offense. Mr. Carpenter s»id the difference between this and Mr. Sumner's bill was in two points. First, the substitute omitted all reference to churches and second, it based the right of federal interference upon the fact that the institutions were supported at the public expense, aud not as Sumner's bill did, upon the mere fact of incorporation. A:

Mr. Norwood, of Georgia, argued against Mr. Sumner's amendment as unconstitutional and calculated to nullify the laws of several of theStates, prohibiting the intertmarriage of blacfcs and whites. He tmught Mr. Carpentr's substituWalso unconstitutional, and said be would base his vote against both amendments on that ground.

Mr. Wilson he would vote for Mr. Sumner's amendment just because it Went&c fer, and in the clearest and most positive manner made all.distinctions on account ol color illegal in the United States. The question of intermarriage raised by Mr. Norwood had been settled in Massachusetts thirty years ago that State had repealed her law on the subject, and all predictions of the dreadful results that were to follow had signally failed. A great deal had been heard for vears about the superiority of the white race-and the marked distinction between the whites and blacks, but everywhere abundant evidence was- to be seen that

distinctions had often been disreearded. He wished to see^all laws b&sed oti a difference of race abolished as unchristian, inhuman ar.d undemocratic.

Mr. Pomeroy thought that the people of Georgia and other States could be trusted to choose their wives and husbands without the interference of any law. He objected to the phrase used by Mr. Wilson: "The diferent races of men." He knew of but one race, the human race.

Mr. Anthony hoped that Mr. Sumner would accept Mr. Carpenter's amendment, exempting the churches from the bill. He would vote to give the colored ^•^te'-FTFFTHFT,8IV!L-'FITB«

Mr. TSumner advocated his own bill, and called Mr. Carpenter's substitute &it "emasculated synonym," feeble where the original was strong, and incomplete where the original was complete. He objected especially to the omission from the substitute of the provision enforcing the admission of colored people to the jury box. The Senator (Carpenter) had attempted to distingisbed between tbe right to testify and the ritiht to sit as juror was political or a.civil right. It was enough for him to know it was a right to which all men were entitled by the law of nature aud by. the Constitution of the United States, interpreted by the Declaration of Independence. lie saw that Carpenter smiled. He always sniiled when the Declaration was mentioned.

Mr. Carpenter—It was a smile of approbation. [Laughter.} Mr. Sumner—Very well, but not Con-tent-with striking at the colored citizens in the temple of justice, the Senator sets up a distinction in Church a distinction, however, in which he is not original, for be has been anticipated by the Rev.

the Senator's error. I hesitate to refer to it, but the Senator has introduced it himself. The Senator has never bad an adequate idea of the Declaration of Independence. [Laughter, especially by Mr. Carpenter.]

Mr. Sumner—The Senator smiles veiy well. I have been long enough in this chamber to witness the Vicissitudes of opinion on that great Magna Charter. I have seen it derided by others more than it ever was by the "Senator from Wisconsin. .'v\

Mr. Carpenter—I wish the Senator would state when lever derided the Declaration ofIndependence.

Mr. Sumner—I am coming to that. Sumner then quoted remarks made by Calhoun, Choate and Andrew Johnson on the subject, and said that in a speech made in April, 1870, Carpenter had spoken of the principles set forth in the declaration as "the generalities of that revolutionary pronunciamento." He referred to this with great reluctance.

Mr. Carpenter—I hope the reluctance is not on my account. [Laughter.] Mr. Sumner—When the Senator spoke last on this subject, however, it was no longer a "revolutionary pronunciamento."

Mr. Carpenter—Oh, yes, it is I stand by that I glory in that revolutionary pronunciamento and in all that revolutionary history of ours.

Mr. Edmunds—Then you ought to give some effect to it. Mr. Sumner—The Senator says that he glories in it then let him give it some effect I hope he won't take it all out in glory. I hope he will see that some of it is transfused into human rights.

Mr. Carpenter—Yes all that is con~ sistent with the express provisions of the Constitution.

Mr. Sumner—Tbe Constitution is a macbiue—a great and beneficient machine The Declaration of Independence supplies the principles which are to give character and motion to that machine.

Mr. Carpenter—Said he had just heard himself ridiculed, reviled and misrepresented-, because he had been unable to agree with the Senator from Massachusetts, (Sumner,) as to tbe merits of his bills, aud had stated two points in which its constitutionality seemed doubtful. He wits iu favor of tbe substance of the bill, and had embodied in his (substitute all of it that was clearly constitutional. But the Senator from Massachusetts did not seem to be anxious for the purpose of a bill to secure civil rights, uuless it had some branch or claw tearing into the Constitution. The Senator had also, gone back a whole year, and arrainged him for having spoken of the Declaration of Independence as a revolutionary pronunciamento. It certainly was just that, and he wondered what there was in the expression which so rankled in the Senator's mind. He could not believe that it was the mere use of the adjective, and be supposed it must have been remembered so long because the remark was made in raillery, and addressed to the Senator himself when he could not bear that any one should look on his venerable locks and indulge in levity and mirth.

Mr. Sumner—I give the Senator leave to rail at my locks as much as he pleases, but do not rail against the Declaration ofIndependence.

Mr. Carpenter—Very well, I Will agree to that it you will agree not to rail against the Constitution. [Laughter.] I will riot speak disrespectfully of the declaration, and you will not attempt to violate the Constitution, and we will join haud in baud in support of the principles Chat are the foundation of your bill. The Senator has done me the honor to point out as my prototype in a constitutional argument Petroleum V. Nasby. [Laughter.] That is one particular in which I must bow to the Senator. I can not point out his prototype in a constitutional discussion. He never had one. He is the beginning, and if our Constitution is to be much respected or to last long, I trust he will be the end of the school of constitutional debaters who commence by asserting that the Constitution has nothing particular to do with the subject, that it is a mere machine, and means something or nothing, according to the Declaration of Independence/ In conclusion, Mr. Carpenter said that the Senator from Massachusetts could neither drive him iuto tbe Democratic party by calling him a secessionist and Comparing him to Calhoun, nor by using the lash corfipel him to vote for anything that he thought unconstitutional.

Mr. Sumner earnestly denied that he had ever disregarded. the Constitution, and said he had always supported and obeyed it as he understood it. He predicted that history would show that his construction of it would be approved and confirmed by the American people. The Sentate then went into Executive Session soon after adjourned

The Proprietors of Plso's

CURE FOR CONSUMPTION

Agree to repay the price to all who try the remedy ana receive from it no benefit. Thus if it does no good it COSTS NOTHING, and if it cures one is satisfied.

PISO'S CURE is very pleasant to the taste and does not produce nausea. It is intended to soothe and not irritate. Itoures a Cough much quicker than any other medicine, and yet does not dry it up.

If you have "only a Cough," do not let it become something worse, but cure it immediately.

Piso'sCure for Consumption

being a certain remedy for the worst of human ailments, must of necessity be the best remedy for Cough and diseases of the throat which if neglected too olten terminate latally.
