VV. W. Casto offered the following resolution, which was seconded by Postmaster Burnert: jResolved, That no Federal officeholder be sem frmu this county to the State Kepub-l.e-in Convention, to assemble at Indianapolis on the22d instant.

George Rugan objected to the resolution. He did not see why officeholders should be so marked, or why they should be proscribed.

Mr. Casto explained that an impression was abroad that General Grant was using his official patronage to secure his renomination.

Mr. Elmsley Hamilton wanted the officeholders to vote on this resolution first and then submit it to the Convention.

The proposition was not entertained, and E. P. Beauchamp moved to lay the resolution on the table. Lost.

Col. R. W. Thompson spoke in. favor of the resolution. Hon. Samuel Magill stated that months ago he had determined to refuse to allow his nam® to be used as a delegate to the Convention.

A vote was taken upon the resolution, and it was adopted without a dissenting vote.

L. A. Burnett, Chairman of the County E tecutive Committee, read the call for the State Convention.

Hon. I. N.

RESOLUTIONS.

The Committee ou Resolutions now came in and submitted the following:

The Republicansof Vigo county, in Mass Convention assembled, declare: 1. That they adhere with unshaken fidelity to the principles of the Union Republican party as heretofore set for in the party platforms affirming the equality of all men in the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness declarintr this to be the essential basis of free government and endorsing the effects heretofore rngde by Republican Administrations, by making all men eqnal before the law. 2. They endorse the efforts heretofore made by Republican administrations in the State and nation, to reduce taxation and expenditures while providing for the payment of the public debt to vindicate honest government by exposing, removing and punishing corrupt officials, undeterred by fears of party injury and of establishing financial laws which provide revenue without undue burdens secure a sound currency oi uniform value and tend to the development of the unbounded resources of the country. 3. They point with the pride and satisfaction to the vindication of their principles and measures, furnished in the regular though tardy acceptance of them by their opponents and to the complete demoralization of the Democratic party, as evidenc in its "new departure," "possum policies," personal vindictiveness, and anxiety to combine with disaffected Republicans, that it may secure the spoils of office regardless ot principles and appeals to the public judgment and honor whether a party so vindicated should not continue to be trusted with political power. 4. They therefore instruct their delegates to the State Convention, to use their best udgment and most earnest endeavors to nominate a ticket composed of men whose known ability and untarnished reputation will command the public confidence, and give evidence of a sincere purpose to continue to administer public affairs in a faithful and upright manner. 5. Resolved, That the administration of Grant and Colfax has fully redeemed all its pledges, ami has proved a complete success in every respect. That Gen. Grant is our first choice for Prosident and Mr Colfax for Vice President and that the delegates here selected are instructed to use their influence in the State Convention to huve the State delegation instructed in favor of Grant and Coltax.

D. VV. Minshall moved to lay the last resolution upon the table. Lost. C. W. Barbour offered a substitute for the fifth resolution, in favor of the one term priuciple, and spoke at some length in support of the same.

A motion was made by D. W. Minshall to adjourn. The question was called and motion lost.

Col. Baird spoke in reply to Mr. Barbour and iu favor of the oth resolution. Capt. Potter followed iu favor of the same.

Mr. Noble opposed the adoption of the 5th resolution. Hon. H. D. Scott, somewhat at length warmly supported the 5th resolution, drawing a parallel between the present and the time of Mr. Lincoln's renomination, saying the same elements and means were being used to defeat the renomination of Gen. Grant that opposed the renomination of President Lincoln.

Messrs. D. W. Minshall, C. E. Hosford and W. E. Hendrich followed, speaking against the adoption of the 5th resolution. Mr. Hendrich said Gen. Grant was not his first choice, and from the knowledge he had of the feeling among the German Republicans this was the sentiment of seventy-five per ceq£. of his fellow countrymen.

Mr. Filbeck contradicted Mr. Hendrich, saying his knowledge of the sentiments of his fellow countrymen led him to believe that a large majority were in favor of Gen. Grant's renomination.

Col. Thompson, at length, opposed the adoption of the 5th resolution, saying there was a strong sentiment in this community against General Grant's renomination.

Judge Crain spoke in favor and Mr. Hook against the passage of the 5th resolution.

Mr. Barbour then withdrew his substitute for the 5th resolution. C. E. Hosford moved to strike off the last clause of the fifth resolution, leaving it, so it endorsed the administration, but containing mr instructions for the delegates to vote for Grant's renomination. Concurred in.

Hon. H. D. Scott moved the adoption of all the resolutions with the fifth as amended.

D. W. Minshall moved to amend the fifth resolution by striking out all after the resolving clause. Motion lost.

The previous question was moved and carried. The vote was now taken upon the adoption of all the resolutions with the fifth as amended, and carried.

On request the Chairman allowed the resolutions to be read and again passed upon separately. The first, second, third and fourth were passed unanimously. On the readingof the fifth Col. Thompson rose to a point of order, saying the latter clause now remaining was iutended to be included in Mr. Hosford's amendment, he therefore moved to strike out the expression "That Gen. Grant is our first choice for President and Mr. Colfax for Vice Presideut." Ameudment adopted.

Mr. Burnett offered the following reso* lution, which was adopted: Resolved, That a Republican Delegate Convention to nominate a ticket tor county offices, State Senator and two Representatives in the House of Representatives, be held in this city on Saturday the 15th of June next,at 10 o'clock A. M., and that the same basis of representation adopted by the State Ceutral Committee be adopted, except that there be four delegates for each one hundred votes, and each fractiou over fifty.

Terre Haute papers continue to

taunt Indianapolis on the fuel question, and are very fond of writing articles under displayed head-lines, such BS "Indianapolis Alarmed," "Don't Like It," "Advantages of Terre Haute," etc., etc. We say to our Terre Haute friends that we are very glad our people are "Alarmed" and we are quite sure they "Don't Like" their present situation of dependence, and are determined to ^et out of it. What we feared was, that our cilizens could not be sufficiently alarmed to take the measures necessary to secure and continue •ur prosperity. Public opinion is strong in favor of an Indianapolis coal road, and is getting stronger every day. We would underestimate the intelligence-and spirit of our people if we were to suppose that they will now stop short of securing, forever, a means of putting fuel in our houses and factories as cheaply as it cau be done in any city in the West.—Ind. Journal.

The Journal adopts the motto that "an open confession is good for the soul." This is honest and at the same time gives to Terre Haute all the advautage that she claims. But the Journal attempts to console the Indianapolis people with the absurd idea that they will stand on a par with the Terre Haute people so far as the coal fields are concerned, when they shall have built their railroad. When the railroad is built the Journal will then have auother opportunity of acknowledging the unpleasant situation. For if Indian­

apolis,

situated over fifty miles from the

coal regions can cope with Terre Haute, fifteen miles distant, upon the same principal New York and Philadelphia might gobble up our coal fields, and surely no Terre Hautentot fears any rivalry on the part of those villages.

VALENTINES are in great demand today. There seems to be an over supply in most of the establishments dealing in these vulgar, disgusting, distasteful, sickly illustrations ofamorbid sentimeutalism, iu this city. Many ladips of refinement will no doubt experience no small degree of disgust at the bold displays that now and then must meet their naze in various establishments. Sti'l, people must have their valeutiues, and the day is doubtless far distant when the good taste of the public will become so disgusted as to crush out the trade entirely.

THE Criminal Court convened this morning, Juge Long presiding. About a dozen cases were calledjsome were heard and others arraigned. Gamblers and burglars figured most largely on the docket. James Brock was arraigned for bigamy, and plead not guilty His case will be investigated immediately.

Editor of Terre Haute Gazette: Under the heading of "Beecher, Boston and Yankee Doodle," "J. M." gives to the Journal'« readers a sample of bis peculiar argumentative logic. From that perverted and vitiated taste which prefers an African nationality or birth to an American "Good Lord deliver us." But as there is "no standard for taste" it is impossible to accouut for the "cavorting" and wild vagaries of "J. M." Americans or Africans may naturally rejoice in their respective localit ies, and while the form' may be thankful that he was not born African soil, the native African, nevtr can.

In thus stretching his wings for that pretended Ethiopian, but really Salt river flight, one may question the taste, but must respect th sincerity of J. M. the moment he becomes an adopted African of American descent, but not a second before that "new departure." But seriously, is not this diguise of "J. M." too thin aud transparent to merit respect? In short, is it not an abrupt "departure" of the proud "Caucasian" from those boasted "time-honored principles," formerly more potent than "Yankee Doodle" and Dixie combined. What a spread ol canvas there must have been, and what the contents of that "huge sheet letdown from the political heavens, which causes new departure somersaults, and such tremendous scales to fall from the eyes ol "J. M." or "any other man,"

If this is only an attempt editorially, to "shy his plug" into the political ring, he will doubtless be afforded sufficient exercise in that political arena, by his opposing editorial friends. The writer, still thankful for an American nationality, prefers to remain au outsider, as in former days, both of the Know Nothings and Sons of Liberty. So now he will continue outside of your "African expedition." When inclined to a departure, new or old, our people will tie more likely to embark on au American craft than on board a Chinese junk, or an African clipper under the command of any political skipper. At least your "long,

low,

rakish political craft" is &

little too due-iy in appearance to suit. AN ADOPTED HOOSIKR.

Special dispatch to the Terre Haute Gazette. GREENSBITRG, IND., Feb. 12.—Haw

Creek township, Bartholomew county, voted $8,000 to the Terre Haute & Cincinnati Railroad, by eighty-two majority, last Saturday.

LONDON, Feb. 12.—A report was just received in the city that E irl Mayo, Governor General of India, was assassinated. The report causes the greatest excitement.

A later intelligence confirms the report. The assassination occurred on Feb. 8, while he was inspecting the Burmese fort with a staff. The assassin is a Mussulman convict.

Mayo formerly held the portfolio in the British Cabinet. The manner of Mayo's death is not known. A Mussulman convict in the Port Blair Prison, Andaman Islands, broke through the surrounding officers and guard's staff, and drew a dagger and stabbed Mayo twice in the back. His death was instantaneous and causes much consternation iu the House of Commons.

PARIS, Feb. 12.—The recent developments showing a wide spread in the increase of Internationalists having been brought to notice by the ruling powers, active measures for the suppression of the order is to be inaugurated. Negotiations are on foot proposing a treaty for joint action by the leading powers.

BERLIN, Feb. 12.—It is understood that Bismarck has tendered his good offices to the Cabinets of England and America for the settlement of the Alabama question.

ROME', Feb. 12.—Sherman and Grant arrived here yesterday and will remaiu ten days.

Admiral Allen's fleet is at Naples. PARIS, Feb. 12.—The elections for the vacant Assembly passed off quietly, though trouble was feared in Corsica^ but nothing occurred.

Reuper, ex-President of the Corps de Legislatitf under Napoleon, an outspoken Imperialist, was elected. It is Jipder-

stood

he will oppose the policy of Thiers. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—Sec. Boutwell states that no negotiations are now pending for placing the new loan, and nothiug will be done until after the excitement of the Alabama claims subsides. The excitement in England materially delayed the exchange of the one hundred millions balance of the two hundred millions subscribed for by the Syndicate.

NEW YORK. Feb. 12.—A Herald's special from Washington says: The President in a conversation yesterday expressed himself very much gratified at the temperate tone of the press of the United States ou the excited comments of the English ministry on our case before the Geneva Conference.

He said the duty ot this country was quite plain. If the English Government withdraws the United States cannot agree, with honor, to any negotiations whatever. But if it be nceessary will be influenced on a great measure, by circumstances.In reply to thequestion as to his opinion of the prospect of war, the President said he hardly thought it would come to that, but if war should be a duty it would not be evaded.

He does not desire to see the amicable relations inangurated by the treaty disturbed, but at the same time agree in honor to herself it can't be used as an instrument in the hands of any foreign ministry to save itself against embarrassments arising from local political divisions.

A Washington special dispatch to the Herald, dated London Feb. 11, says the English press is earnestly anxious to avoid further misunderstandidg with the American people and the Cabinet at Washington ou the subject of the Alabama claims settlement and negotiations relative thereto in the Geneva Court of Arbitration.

Her Majesty's Ministers don't like to lose the Treaty of Washington, and they are determined not to yield to the Americans a point which the popular mind of England regards it as inviolable to the national houor by the possibility which the compromise of the matter in the dispute contemplates.

Minister Schenck has communicated an amicable note to the English Government on the subject of the words used by Premier Gladstone, which were deened to convey an imputation on the good faith of the Uuited States.

The note is regarded as expressing a proper assertion of dignity of the Washington Government, and will most likely be answered by the British Foreign Secretary in a most friendly spirit, and in language deprecating a diplomatic application of words spoken in heat of Parliament any debate.

Bismarck has offered to the Cabinets in Washington and London his kind offices for the effecting of an agreement on the matter of the Alabima claims in the Genera arbitration court.5

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—Jack Glass, who was stabbed by a carving knife in the hands of John Costello, three weeks ago, died in the hospital this morning. His assassin is iu the Toombs.

The stone yard shed of Jas. G. Allen, on West Thirtieth street, burned to-day Lo-s $6,000. No insurance.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 12.—The Ohio river started this morning, but has gorged heavily at the foot of Walnut street A heavy gorge is reported a few miles up the river.

The steamer Boston left Portsmouth to-day, the first boat for two or three weeks. It is thought she will start the gorge above the city, and that will start the gorge at Walnut street. Considerable anxiety is felt by steamboat owners in regard to it.

It is reported the ice in Licking river is about starting, which if itall comes at once, may shoot across the river into the steamboats, as in 1856, at which time great damatre was done. It is probable though, that the ice iu the Ohio will bej in running before the ice in the Licking breaks. The Sentiments of Kug^ne over Her

The Empress has just addressed a letter to a friend in Switzerland, from, which these extracts are taken

I have challenged public attention so often of late by the letters from me which have been published, it seems to me the public must be tired of seeing them. Moreover, I confess to you there are accusations against which I have extreme repugnance to raise my voice, and the light which will one day be thrown on the subject will exhibit the sole sentiment which could have connected me with the 4th of September. Defection had made it impossible for me to defend myself, and being unable to conquer, I refused to divide when when the enemy might at any moment enter through the breach our intestine dissensions opened to it. I obeyed a feeling of personal unselfishness by leaviugto others the honors of the defense the instant it was proved to me that I was alone and unable to negotiate peace. This must be known, aud if it is not, I neither can nor wish to tell it. Of all my sufferings, none has been more painful than to see that, after such a career as the Emperor's, public opinion has been so widely led astray as to require—not a political or strategetic explanation, which I could have understood, from Sedan—but a detailed narrative of the Emperor's conduct! What can De credited after such wilduess? I have an absolute confidence in the power of truth. The sole motive of the Emperor and me has been the sranduer and prosperity of France. We may have made mistakes, but neither fear nor ambition ever entered our hearts one single instant. I cannot'now say disgust has ever entered there therefore, I will not defend myself, and cannot briu« myself to pass through this additional calumny.

EUGENIE.

A MASSACHUSETTS woman, lately deceased, before her death, in order to keep her memory greeu in the mind of her husband, wrote a number of letters, which she postdated, and confided them on her death-bed to a irieud, with directions to post one to him on the last dny of every month. In the spring-time of his mourning the husband was rather glad to receive the pseudo communications from the spirit world, but when time had cooled the heart-burnings of his grief and another woman presided at his table, the postman's arrival with a posthumous letter at the end of each lunar revolution became very malapropos and quite destroyed, with its dismal memories, the pleasures of his new honeymoon. His freshly chosen bride too, became jealous of those mysterious missives aud threatened to tear out the eyes of the author, but, on being told who the author was, contented herseif with burning the epistulary productions of her predecessor as often as they came.

NIAGARA FALLS has had quite a sensation for a week past, alive ghost! As an illustration how the imagination can be wrought upon, one engineer declared that the apparition appeared to him upon the track just in front of the engine, mounted upon a gray horse, and thus rode ahead of his engine for about a mile, and then disappeared in the dark. Report had it that one man and one woman were so frightened by the apparition as to cause their sickness. A reward was offered to expose it. Last Saturday night the ghost was caught. It proved to be a woman, about fifty years old, dressed iu a sheet and Ku Klux mask. The reason assigned far her appearance thus was, that her husband was addicted to spending his money and time, evenings, at the whisky shop near her field of operations, aud she took this course to frighten bim aud cause him to stay at home.

THE original manuscript of "Home, Sweet Home," which was written by John Howard Payne, was given by the author to the late George M. Kim, and is now in possession of his son Henry M. Keim, at Reading, Pennsylvania.
