Additional Local News.

'NINE babies were born withiu one square in this city during the month of January, and still the expectations of Borne of the parents were not realized.

A GENTLEMAN informed us this morning that he was met by a man at a late hour last night, running from a saloon on First street, in pursuit of a physician to dress the wounds of a man, whom he said, had just been fearfully cut in a row in the saloon.

"ANXIOUS INQUIRER" sends the following incomprehensible communication to the Indianapolis Evening Journal: "Will you please examine your exchange papers from Terre Haute, Greencastle and Martinsville to see whether any new "stationery" stores have been established in those villages lately?"

If Inquirer's anxiety can be relieved to any extent by the statement of a Terre Haute paper that all the establishments of this city are "stationary," the GAZETTE cheerfully makes that statement. Since Prof. Foster has pronounced Terre Haute the best place on this continent for the manufacture of iron and steel, we are inclined to think there are many business houses in Indianapolis which are not "stationary." Their proprietors will sell or give away, and come to Terre Haute where they can do a little business.

Indianapolis Gas.

An Indianapolis exchange thus expends its surplus wind: "Terre Haute, a suburban village, is 'putting on city airs,' and promises to astonish the world in the year 1900 with a population of 100,000, mostly manufacturing. Her waste places must be redeemed before her 'deserts can bud and blossom."

As our former Court House was not the most beautiful style of architecture imaginable, our public square, or "waste places," as this gaseous scribbler has it, is "better off without it." Beautiful indeed was it, in comparison with that old "fort" or "ark" which for near half a century disgraced the "Hoosier hub" as a "temple of justice"—a complete outrage on correct architectural taste. That venerable "rookery," called a State House, like

your market houses is not much to brag

of. Did you send "up in a balloon," or in house" on the circle, formerly called a "Governor's house," or residence? How much of that §55,000 per annum, as house rent,would have been saved if the "Gubernatorial stable" had been preserved? Then, about "deserts." Unlike Pogue's llun Valley, the teeming Wabash contains "nary desert." The year 1900 will develop its own statistics of population, but if the air continues, mercifully, to inflate your worthless lungs so long, you may then, if you can, successfully dispute that 100000 population. If Indianapolis contained a few more of your "style," it might be lighted with "native gas," instead of being compelled to haul your coal 50 miles to manufacture it. "Putting on city airs," comes with a questionable grace from one habituated to the fetid inhalations of Pogue's Run, impregnated with the concentrated virtues of the gas works, starch factory and geueral filth of the city. Pure air is preferable to the effluvia of "Bates House slops." If the latter nuisance has been abated, we do not desire to "stir up" that former "slough of despondency," but suggest that an undiluted legal opinion of a prominent member of the Supreme Bench, on the "concentrated virtues of rancid butter and rotten eggs" might disturb the stomach of that human gasometer who thus attempt to villify Terre Haute. "City airs" is good, particularly from a city which has recently swallowed so bitter a dose, as her "subur ban village" of Stringtown. Is it any wonder that an "enthused" Bridgeporter describes Indianapolis as "too near

Bridgeport ever to grow much." Since you have emasculated Stringtown, the Lunatic Asylum necessarily prevents that "enthused cuss" from representing Indianapolis as "the*first station east of Bridgeport." The latter must certainly be that "suburban village" alluded to by this "gassy son of a scribdler," as "putting on city airs," for like him, our Bridgeporter appears as mucji excited as "Bates' legislative donkey," and as distinguished "brayists," all three seem eminently and equally successful—a "glorious trinity"—of asses. Can it be possible that Bridgeport is "really ex9" TI/\AU A VIA cited Does she mean business

City Editor of Evening Gazette: I suppose you, as a wide-awake representative of the wide-awake journal of the city, have inspected the new Criminal Court room, which has been prepared for the transaction of the criminal business of tb« city, and in the fitting up of which, time, tal#nt and the county's money have been lavished upon it. Having done so, did you fail to notice thjxt there is scaroely room enough ii*

the same to accommodate the Court, members of the bar, and a jury? This, however, may have been done to exclude reputed professional jurymen and other dead beat loafers. Notwithstanding this fact if there sfttwld be an important criminal trial progressing in this court and those whose money has been used in the fitting up of this gorgeous room should wish to attend and hear the evidence, from their interest in the case and not from idle curiosity, what accommodations would there be for them? Therefore, would it not have been much better to have had fitted up a larger room and in less georgeous style. Then the involuntary exclamation of each stranger who views the new Criminal Court room of Vigo county, would not be, "Why, it looks just like a saloon!" Such has been exclamation of many and the thoughts OF TAX-PAYER.

LONDON, Feb. 17.—Advicesreceived in this city state that the Jewish persecution in Roumania is increasing. Numbers daily fall victims to the liarted of the native inhabitants, over whom the authorities have no control. Murder in public is frequent and unpunished. Unfortunate Israel is subjected to every kind of indignity and persecution their enemies can devise, their dwellings fired by lawless mobs, and numbers of lives not unfrequently sacrificed.

To complete the holocaust the relentless persecutors compel many of them to leave the territory. Numbers of these refugees are placing themselves under Turkish protection in the city of Kahaul. The persecution has been developed into the bloodiest spirit. Seventy Israelites, including defenseless women and childdrcn have fallen victims to the oppressors, besides 35 wounded, many of them fatally. The receipt of the above awakens a general sympathy in this city.

The Alabama and Florida even did not receive their armaments in the British Dominion. The document concludes as follows: While England regrets the departure of the rebel cruisors from her ports, she cannot acknowledge the justice of the claims against her for predatory acts. The United States must solidly establish the fact o| England's negligence. England is ready to accept the award of the tribunal of arbitration, whether favorable or unfavorable. She desires only that it shall be just."

An informal challenge was recently sent to John Harper by the friends of the famous racer, Harry Bassett, offering to match him against Longfellow for any amount, and any distance over one mile. Harper now replies that he proposes entering Longfellow for the Monmouth cup at Long Branch next summer, and he gives notice to the partizans of Harry Bassett that they will there have an opportunity of measuring the speed and endurance of their champion against his horse in that race the distancejof which is two and a half miles. Longfellow is in superb condition, and the meeting of these two renowned racers will probably create a general interest among the sporting men of this country.

CINCINNATI, February 17.—The ice gorge broke away last night and run until nine o'clock this morning, when it again stopped, but is likely to start again at any moment.

Over two hundred coal barges were either destroyed or damaged during the night and this morning, a large number of which have either been sunk or carried down with the ice. As yet the steamboats are safe. The worst portion of the ice went down on the Kentucky side of the river, and it is possible that that the heavy ice now wedged in around the steamboats and far out into the river, may act as a bulwark and protect the boats until the heaviest portion of the ice goes past.

Great anxiety is felt for their safety. The mail boat United States is badly crowded by the ice, and the Ben. Franklin is reportet in a bad fix some 40 miles down the river.

The greater portion of the loss by damage and sinking of coal boats falls on Pittsburg firms, and will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The weather is moderating, and the snow melting rapidly, but there is still good sleighing.

It was finally decided that proceedings should be commenced against Lorillard, Security, Manhattan, Yonkers, Market, North American, FultonJ Excelsior, Astor, Beekman, Atlantic, Washington, New Amsterdam and iEtna, one firm suing one company.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 17.—A fire broke out at two o'clock this morning in a stable in the rear of a large frame house on Muker street, near the river. The firemen were promptly on the ground, and as it was sometime before the water could be got, on account of its scarcity, the stable, frame house and a blacksmith's shop adjoining were destroyed. Considerable damage was done to an adjoining brick house. Loss not stated. But for the fact that there was no wind blowing, there is no telling how much more would have been destroyed, as there is a large sawmill and lumber yard in the vicinity.

A Toice from a Mule.

To the Editor of the Evening Journal: I write you because I believe you are an enemy to oppression. I am an aged mule, owned by the Citizens' Street Railway Company, of which the winning Alvord and the generous English are which. I am driven by a crazy jackass, and, although he is aware ol tbe relationship existing between us, he mistreats me to the fullest extent prescribed by the managers of the linos. You complain of the slowness of the cars, and the Superintendent directs the before-mentioned jackass to drive me faster. I would not have been the property of this corporation had I not been broken in health, and suffering from a general rheumatic attack, and now that they own me, I am required to do the work ot a healthy horse or mule. Alvord has no mercy on me, and I hope you will have some, and make no more complaints about the slowness of street cars. MULE.

TERRE HAUTE, IND.: SATURDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 17, 1872.

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Sale of Arms to Franco.

SENATE.

The consideration of the resolution as to the sale of arms to the French during the Franco-Prussian war was resumed.

Mr. Morton said that Mr. Sumner would have great difficulty in convincing the country that the introduction of this resolution was not a move on the Presidential chess-board, intended to effect the next Presidential Convention or the election by alienating the German vote from the Republican party. Whatever might be said of the substance of the resolution, its form was inexcusable, for it was so drawn that Senators could not vote for the preamble without asserting that the allegations to be investigated were true, and it was as absurd to ask the Senate to do this, as it would be for a jury to file a verdict first and the evidence afterwards. The preamble assumed that there was a discrepancy of over $1,700,000 dollars between the accounts of the Treasury and those of the W£r Department. That was not true.

Mr. Sumner said the preamble did not assume the actual exi'stence of a discrepancy. It only asserted that there was au apparent discrepancy in the reports of the two Departments.

Mr. Morton—That is the very point I I deny, that it appears from the reports of the two departments, and I aver that the reports show that there is no discrepancy—that it has been all explained. Even Mr. Schurz admitted yesterday that he had no doubt it could be explained.

Mr. Schurz said that what he had said yesterday was, that the Secretary of the Treasury had explained the apparent discrepancy for the fiscal year ending in 1871, but had failed to explain a previous discrepancy, although he expressed the belief that it could be explained.

Mr. Morton was authorized to say that the charge that there was a discrepancy was frivolous and without foundation.

Mr. Edmunds said that if any one would intelligently examine the accounts in the reports, he would see that there was no discrepancy.

Mr. Schurz said that tbe Secretary of the Treasury had admitted to him that all the moneys paid into the Treasury from the sales of arms did not appear in the reports, for the reason that some of the accounts had not been settled when the report was made.

Mr. Sumner said that the Secretary had told him it had taken some time to look into the accounts at the Treasury, te sift this matter to the bottom.

Mr. Morton—Yes, and he told you in the same conversation it was right. Mr. Sumner—Yes.

Mr. Morton—Then we will consider the discrepancy out of the case. Mr. Edmunds insisted that there was no apparent discrepancy, and Messrs. Sumner and Schurz had fallen into the mistake of supposing there was by looking for an item under the wrong heading in the Treasurer's report.

Mr. Sumner said that in his remarks the other day he had contrasted the figures in the report of the Secretary of War for the fiscal year with those in the report of the Treasurer for the same fiscal year, and said that the discrepancy showed that there was at least reason for inquiry, and he insisted that the fact that a three days' discussion was necessary to explan the discrepancy, fully justified that assertion.

Mr. Morton said it was now admitted there was no discrepancy at all. The next question was whether there had ever existed any sufficient ground for suspicion to justify its introduction into the Senate, and he insisted that there was not. All great government, were always selling arms for which they had no use, and that was what our government did in this case, and cartridges were manufactured because arms eould not be sold without amunition adapted to them, but it was, for it might safely be assumed that there was always powder on hand, which was liable to get damaged unless used in that way. Morton said that the officers of the Ordnance Department had power to do that, and Wilson said that it was their duty to do it. Morton said Schurz'a narrow construction of this law sho^ved the desperate straits into which he had been driven.

Mr. Schurz said he would undertake to take care of himself. He reminded Mr. Morton that in this case the cartridges were manufactured not for the purpose of getting rid of damaged powder or pig lead, but because they were asked for by the agents of the French Government.

Mr. Morton said the Prussian Government had known all about these transactions at the time, and could have bought arms themselves if they wished, but they declined, and made no complaints because arms were sold to others.

Mr. Conkling said that Baker & Co., referred to by Mr. Schurz, were a German firm, who, he was informed by high authority, had bought arms of our Government, which had aftetward passed into the hands of the Prussian Government.

Mr. Morton said when the Prussian Government permitted arms to be sold by our Government, and shipped from New York to Brest and Havre without objection, it was very extraordinary that an intervention in behalf of that Government should now be made in the Senate.

Mr. Schurz asked whether he meant to insinuate that either Mr. Sumner or himself (Schurz) was acting on behalf of the Prussian Government.

Mr. Morton did not mean that, but he did mean to say that when the Prussian Government made no objection there was no occasion for American Senators to try to convince them they had cause to complain.

Mr. Sumner—I know nobody who is trying to convince the Prussian Government. We are trying to convince the Senate that something has been done which ought to be inquired into.

Mr. Morton—But if you can convince the Senate that our Government has violated international law, you will convince the Prussian Government at the same time, and you will do it at the very hour when that Government is sitting as an arbitrator on a very important question between the United States and the Government of Great Britain. To show how indifferent the Prussian Government had been in regard to those sales of arms, Mr. Morton said he had been informed that when Baron Gerolt informed his Government that the sales were going on to parties in the interests of the French, and expressed the belief that he could secure them for Prussia by paying fifteen per cent, more than the French agent, Bismarck declined to authorize him to negotiate for them, saying the Germans could get them cheaper. by taking them from the French, on the banks of the Loire. [Laughter.]

Mr. Schurz asked Mr. Morton to state his authority. Mr. Morton replied that after all the •ague suspicions, and rumors, and reference to French newspapers in which movers of the resolution had indulged, they need not now be so particular in demanding authorities.

Mr. Schurz—Will the Senator be kind enough to indicate any important point that is not based upon documentary evidence

Mr. Morton—I can't undertake to rehearse the Senator's speech. The Senate has heard it, and it is in tbe Globe. Mr.

Morton again said the object of the resolution was to alienate the German vote, but he did not believe the attempt could succeed. The Germans were an educated people, and remarkably well informed in the politics of this country. They were in the habit of thinking for themselves, and they did not belong to anybody, nor could they be carried in anybody's breeches pockets, however capacious they might be. They were Republican from principle. The Republican party accorded with their own liberal and progressive ideas, and they were well aware of the facts that the sympathies of the Republican party and of its leading journals were with Germany in the late war, while those of the Democracy were with France, and that when the Germans in Paris had need of protection they chose tlie Minister of the United States (Mr. Washburne). Recurring to the main question, he said even if there was anything in the sale of the arms by the Ordnance Department the President was not to blame, as he had never ordered them, and Schurz had admitted that the Secretary of War was not to blame.

Mr. Wilson read a letter from Treasurer Spinner, saying that when he was in Europe last summer, the story about taking the arms from the French on the Loire was current in the German journals, and adding that the discrepancy between the accounts of the Treasury and War Departments was found to be less than $6,000. Mr. Wilson made a statement of the former large discrepancies between the accounts of the departments, and said that such discrepancies did not necessarily imply fraud.

Mr. Morton in conclusion, said the results of this Administration were so magnificent that nothing was left to its enemies but to raise a prolonged howl of corruption. Before the meeting of Congress he had heard this mine that was to blow General Grant out of the Presidential field, but now the mine had been exploded, and instead of the President it was the engineer that was blown up. He warned the Liberal Republicans against the delusive idea that they could organize anew party which would take in the Democraoy. The contest was to be between the nominee of the Philadelphia Convention, ond the nominee of the Democratic Convention, and if any man hated General Grant so much as to wish to see him defeated in that contest, he could contribute to that end in two ways, by going over to the Democrats, or by going to the Cincinnati Liberal Convention and putting a third party in the field. The Democrats were playing possum and preparing to profit by the quarrels of the Republicans. It was a shrewd game, but it would not succeed. The platform of the Liberal Republicans was substantially a Democratic platform, one on which even the KuKlux at the South could stand. If it should triumph in the next election, five millions of colored citizens at the South could not receive the protection from their KuKlux persecutors, the record of whose deeds weuld soon be laid before the country in the report of the Investigating Committee, and which read like so many pages from the chronicles of hell.

Mr. Conkling moved to amend the resolution as to direct the committee to inquire whether any American Senator or other American citizen has been in collusion with the Government of France or any emissary or spy thereof, in reference to said matter.

Mr. Tipton (Republican) said the tactics of tlie President's friends and advisers in Congress had destroyed the harmony of the Republican party, and quoted an article from a journal published in his own State, which described tbe three leading champions of the President in the Senate as single barrelled demagogues. He charged those gentlemen with having attempted, ever since General Grant's inauguration, to establish a tyrannical ascendancy in the Senate,by questioning the Republicanism of every man who did not believe in the immaculate infallibility of the executive. He quoted from the debate in the second week of the present administration on the bill to repeal the tenure of office act, to show how it was they sought to coerce Senators into voting for that bill by making it a test of their fealty to the President. He referred to the deposition of Mr. Sumner from the head of the Committee on Foreign Relations, and said that in the caucus, Mr. Sumner's friends were only in a minority of six, ao that they could have triumphed in the Senate with the Democrats, had not the same "read you out of the party" tactics been resorted to. The same plan has been tried to ward off the investigation of abuses in New York, but it had failed, and it would fail henceforth, because the people were aroused. The investigation had already gone far enough to show the President as a many-handed manipulator of jobs, and it must go on until corruption shall be everwhere exposed and punished.

Without voting on the resolution the Senate adjourned to Monday.
