We submit to tlie Slate Sentinel and Journal, that as tliey ret resent the entire State, neither of them can consistently oppose the interests of any part of it, but are in honor bound to treat all sections equally impartial. Are we right? Or are we answered, that "the press of Chi cajfo and other large cities are devoted specially to the interests of their respective cities." If "Chicago and those other large cities," are State Capitals and their papers State organs, it is a par allel case, not otherwise. The papers of "tliose large cities" are almost bound to know nothing beyond the interests of their respective cities. Notso, however, with the publishers of State organs, and just here arises a difficulty, which accounts for much of the prejudice existing in various parts of tlie State against its Capital. The public regard your dailies, as well as weeklies, State organs. Are they right, or is the weekly a State organ and the daily specially devoted to the city? In the discu-sion of important business questions, affecting the interests of various parts of the Slate, ought not your respective dailies to be imbued with that same impartial spirit which your weeklies are expected to posses?

Let us apply this principle to an important question now agitating Indian-^ apolis, Terre Haute and intermediate points, viz the best locution for iron manufactures. Why is it not left to be determined on its intrinsic merits— purely one of convenient location Why do both of your dailies virtually contend that a distant location is equally as good as a natural and convenient one in the neighborhood of the best block coal for manufacturiiitf purpose?? While residents of the Wabash lley rejoice in common with all parts of the State, in the prosperity of their State Capital, and refer with pride to the fact, that Indianapolis is the largest and most important State Capital west of Albany, N. Y., oujit not Indianapolitans to exult in the cheering manufacturing and mining prospects of our State, even if those enterprises, in selecting their location, should chance to choose, as the most convenient for tiu-ir purpose, one 60 or 70 miles west of the political and geographical center of the State. If a single "scribler" has misrepresented Indiauapolis as "the first Biaiion east of Terre H.iute," is that a good reason why your press, during this cold weather, should become "red-hot" over the question of location? Suppose you postpone "lathering" and "cnaf iny" over it till dog-days, previous to which the question will be definitely and satisfactorily settled on natural principles—wot by newspapers, or by rival es. but by the unerring rjle of convenient location—"a decree of mamfesi destiny" if you prefer so to style it. Our Central Indiana friends wisely preserved their temper, some years since, when a brainless and prejudiced publisher wasted a quantity of printer's ink in perpetrating a worse indignity on tlieir beautiful city, by describing Indianapolis as "an unimportant Fog ue's Hun village, situated southeast of Bucktown, and directly" east of Stringtown," But the "grand center and focus of Hoosierdom" survived, as she will in the future, those puny efforts of calumniators.

Suppose you treat this question of location fairly. Is, or is not Indiauapolis situated fifty miles or more east of the best iron manufacturing location? We insist that she is, and mean it most emphatically. A siugle/ttc? is worth more than mere speculative theorits. For political and Slate conveniences, Capitals are usually near the geographical center, while business locations are not governed by State lines, by the laws of trade and business. Compare our largest cities, all over the Union, with the Capitals of States, aud see if we are not correct. Au Indianapolis paper has truly 9aid that "Terre Haute has us on the hip in this discussion of lo cation." Ture, sir, and relying on the superior advantages of her natural locatiou Terre Haute means businc s, when she says, "When the days and nights get tangled up, when the attraction of gravitation is su-peuded, when water runs up hill, and nature's general order is reversed,then, but not tilt then, may Indianapolis miraduou-dy remove from a distant to a convenient location fifty miles west of the junction of Fall Creek,

Pogues Run, aud White River. Then may she hope successfully to contest the question of location with Terre Haute. Many °f the residents of Clay and Vigo count es ire shortly to be astonished, as much a* those of central Indiana, at their present "dimness of vision. Rely on it, that Terre Haute is in earnest an» mears business.

Mrs. Livermore.

Indications now are that the Opera House will be filled to repletion this evening to hear this renowned orator in her great lecture on "What shall we do with our daughters?" Aud why should this not be the most enthusiastic meeting ever held in tliis city. The cau-e is one beside which almost every other issue of the day sinks into comparative insignificance. Every one is becoming thoroughly awakened to the inttre of Woman, and no one can well afford not to hear the appeal of so urea t, so good,and noble a leader as we have found in Mrs. Livermore. The followingextracts from the leading press of the country lefleot some interesting truths "Mrs. Liveraiore's memory is probably cherished more tenderly by our soldiers in the war of the rebellion than that of an other woman. She was the soul of that itid of women carried to a glorious conelusufli the jjreHt sanitary fair at Chicago, rt'hith realized nearly a million of dollars. Nor did her work stop there, for we find her ministering throughout the army the Southwvst to the w.mtsofthe wounded and rl\in* soldiers with an energy almost superhuman and never surpassed. Wedo nut hesitate to pronounce Mrs. Livermore the best example ot all that is noble and most womanly in woman."—Neiv York Tribune. "Mrs. Livermore is admitted on all points as being the most finished, forcibie speaker of her sex, and we warn the stronger sex to look well to their laurels in this shining tield."—Cin. Com. "The lecture of this distinguished lady will be the intellectual treat of the season, Those who heard her lecture last year pronounced it the finest ever given in this citv. Mrs. Livermore is the soul and spirit ot all that is good and sensible in the Woman's Rights movement. Let the enemies no less than ihe friends come out and listen to hear her able advocacy and sound reasoning in favor of this great movement.—Golden Age. 'Mrs. Livermore is now, not only the most eloquent orator, not accepting Anna Dickinson and John B. Gough, upon the American Continent, but is, also, the most popular speaker, having received a greater number of applications to lecture than any other person in the United States.— N. Y. Ledger.

Amnesty at Washington.

We have had no part in framing Republican National platforms since that »t 1850 but we have generally approved heir propositions and been loyal to their requirements. Most especially did we rejoiceover the adoption of that thirteenth p'aok of the last one, framed by the Convention which nominated Gen. Grant, and set forth in the following words: "That we highly commend the spirit of magnanimity and forbearance with which men who have served in the rebellion, but who now frankly and honestly cooperate with us in restoring the peace of the country and reconstructing the Southern State governments upon the basis of impartial justice and equal rights, are received back into the. communion of the loyal people and we favor the removal of the disqualifications aud restrictions imposed upon the late rebels in the same measure as the spirit of disloyalty will die out, and as may be consistent with the safety of the loyal people."

There are two radically diverse ends contemplated by the infliction of "disqualifications and restrictions" upon rebels: 1. Security 2. Vengeance. A people have a manifest right to protect themselves effectively against the machiuatious of traitors and rebels intent on subverting their rightful soveignty. If to this end it be requisite to deprive enemies of all political franchises whatever, the power is inherent and may laudably be exercised. Hence the abso ute deni.il of the right of suffrage to banded traitors, ready to break out into open rebellion, was asserted and exercised during out late de-perate struggle— affirmed and exercised quite as broadly by the Secessionists as by the Unionists and this was the clear dictate of that principle which holds the public safety tne supreme imperative law. If- the rebellion could only have been subdued by placing every rebel under the ban ever more, even that severe measure would have been justified.

But wherever they shall no lontrer W essential to the safety, all "disqualifications aud restrictions" should be overborne and effaced so says the Chicago platform of 1868: so say the loyal supporters of that Dlatform. In other words: Proscription is justifiable wherever it may be necessary to maiutain and perpetuate the Uuion it ceases to be justifiable whenever that necessity shall pass or have passed away. So says the Republican National platform so say reason, common sense, and common humanity.

The doctrine propounded by Senator Morton at St. Louis, as also in the Senate by him and others, seems to us very different. "I will never consent to the admission of certain classes of ex-rebels to seats in Congress." That is proscription for punishment's sake, for vengeance's sake, not because the publ sa'ety requires it. They who hold this

^'rine defy and spif noon the Repuhli can platform, as all men have a right to .. But they who «to a^ume, because of a personal difference, to read out of the party those .who adhere to its platform.—N.

NASHVILLE, TENN., Feb. 15.—A destructive fire occurred this morning. A large portion of the Methodist Book Coucern, and the largest printing establishment in the South, is iu ruius.

Endorsements.

From every part of the State we receive endorsements of the course of the Tribune in regard to the manner of conducting the State Convention, and the propriety of the people running it and not merely going up there to be used as so many tools to go through the form of ratifying what the ringma-te'rs have done. The Indianapolis Christian Ad-vo-ate, in commenting on one of our editorials regarding this matter, says: "Tue only way that any party will elect a Governor this year will be by putting on the track a man above suspicion. If his breath smells of whisky or the odor of fraud attaches to him, he will be beaten. There are good men who are available, aud if drumming, puffing, buying up editors and the convention with the proceeds of former official corruption, put the wrougman on the track, we will beat him, that is all. The yoke of party is not half as tight as it once was."

That is just what should be done. If corrupt men and riugmasters manage to wire themselves into nominations, all there is of it they should he defeated, and in doing that the honest Republicans will be doing God's service. We iiTUst say that we yet believe from the tone of the uewspapers and private letters received, all will be well at the Convention, and good nominations will be made but it will be a struggle for life, and we may just as well prepare for it. The Convention will be the largest ever held iu the State, and the most hotly contested one for places on the ticket.

Our proposition for jiew men who have not been laying wires is meeting with many endorsements. That the offices should seek the men, is a proposition old as our form of government, but the principle has not been carried out. But now, when the very existence of tie party is at stake, it becomes a necessity to return to that practice, and we trust that it will be done. Justice demands it, to say nothing of policy. Tnere are id nty of good men in the different parts of the State "worthy aud we!l-qu ilified, who have stood by the party during adversity and prosperity, aud who have paid liberally of their means but who have never asked office and the timf has come to take up some of them ud place them on the ticket.

Let it be said to those who have been fed at the "public crib" so long that they have come to consider themselves as the only men who can carry the Republican party safely through the approaching storm, that if they do not want to be buried iu the ruins they had better "stand from under."—N. A. Tribune.

Amnesty iu Spite of Congress. The decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, as delivered on the 29th ult. in the case of the United States vs. Klaiu, administrator of Wilson, raises a most interesting point. July 4, 1868, Pr«-sideut Johnson issued, "unconditionally and without reservation, toall and to every person who directly or indirectly participated in the late insurrection or rebellion, excepting such person or persons as may bf under presentment or indictment in any court of the United States having competent jurisdiction upon a charge of treason or other felony,

full pardon and amnesty," &c., &c., &c I'he power of the President to issue th's pardon and its entire validity have just tieen affirmed by the Supreme Court Now on the 28th day of July, 1868, Secretary Seward, under authority of a concurrent resolution of the 21st July, 1868. certified that the fourteenth amendment A*as part of the Constitution of the Uni ed States. By the third section of tha' amendment certain classes of persons are debarred from holding office, as a punishment for acts condoued by the above pardon. The question therefore arise* whether a man pardoned under authority of one part of the Constitution can by mother and subsequent portion be dis imrdoned and put iu need of amnesty anew.

High Mass in Dresden.

The Indiauapolis Evening Journal publishes the following extract from a private Jetter of Mrs. Bolton, giving a description of the High Mass Christmas iu Dresden

We went to hear High Mass Christmas eve in the royal church, and when I tell you that we stood nearly two hours and a half on the ?old marble, listening to the music, you will know we were deeply interested. Nothing I ever heard in Rome was equal to it. Now you hear the angels singing "Peace on earth aud good will to men." Soft and low and far off, it seemed to thrill and tremble through the starry midnight till you can see the upturned faces of tne listening shepherds. Hark! They are going to Bethlehem you could hear them far awav over the plains of Judea, siuginga sweet, tremulous, uncertain song, full of awe, wonder and surprise. Listen! they have found Him—the Holy One—the Savior of men. Alleluiah Alleluiah You could hear their song of triumph you could see their attitude of adoration as they presented their gifts to the young child and His mother. "Then the man Christ Jesus is prosecuted, arrainged, crucified. It is finished. O the vvoe, the wail of the heart stricken mother, kneeling at the cross. O the expression of human sorrow, human anguish as they bear Him away to tne sepulcher. Bu^. listen again to the plaintive song of her who came early to the tomb. He is not there. He is risen. Here a hundred instruments and a hundred voices rise and sing the glorious 'He is risen, the Lord is risen,' till wave on wave of joy and gladdess seen} to float on and upward through fretted arch and frescoed roof to the midnight sky. It is a grand old church, and that night the graud old aitar was ablaze with gold and precious stones. How many people the church will hold I do not know, bnt it was crowded, and there must have been thousands preseut. The good old King andPhis wife were in their pew alone all evening."

A Petrified Man.

The following is translated from the Moniteur, of Bologna: Prince Antouia Boncompagni, of Piomditio, Senator of the Kingdom of Italy, has transmitted to Bologna, oue of the greatest curiosities that the public may hare an opportunity of examining:

This curiosity, which has been in the possession of the family of the Priuce of Piombino for along period of years, is a petrified man, which has been restored by Professor Bertolini. The historical origin of this skeleton is not known. All that is certain is, that it wa? sent as a present to Pope Gregory XV {1621-'23,) but the members of the family of Prince Piombino pretend to know, through family traditions, that a Japanese deputation brought it to Rome as a precious gift to the Pope, at the same time with a folding-screen and a table of ebony. These three articles are still to be seen iu the Palace of the Priuce of Piombino.

The skeleton was then exposed to view in the country bouse (Casino) de I'Amora of the Villa Ludovisi of GregoriXV., but it was subjected to gradu»l aud slight niutilatious by the acquisitive and inquisitive. Thenceforward it was hermetically enclosed in a case lined with velvet and covered with skin,with gilded locks, and with the Papal arms upon the lid. From that time until the preseut the skeleton has not been exposed to the eyes of the public. ANCHOR.

Pitched Down a Qnary.

The Pittsburg Leader says: A young lady, daughter of a Presbyterian clergyman of this city, aud a young gentleman, a son of a Federal street merchant, Alleghany, made quite a miraculous escape from death on Friday evening. They started in a carriage to attend a party on Observatory Hill, back of AllegflSliy. The driver missed the way, and got some distance beyond the house before the di.-covery was made. The lady and gentleman concluded to walk back to the house aud got out of the carriage.

Tue night was very dark, and they could not see afoot before them. Not being acquainted with the road, they got too far out of the path, and before they were aware ot their danger, fell headlong over a precipice into a stone quarry. They first slipped down a sleep grade of 10 feet and then fell perpeudicularly 20 f.-et. Fortunately they alighted on a pile of dirt, for had they fallen on the rocks they would have undoubtedly both been killed. As it was the young lady was quite seriously injured, being insensible when picked up. The gentleman fared better, and was able to hobble to the house where the party was going on, although badly cut and bruised.
