THE Vandalia Railroad Company, wtcn characteristic and commendable enterprise, are constructing a branch road from Brazil towatd Bowling Green, piercing the block eoal region in anew direction, and yet the Indianapolis Journal is not happy. That independ ent publication wants a narrow gauge road, fifteen miles shorter, to the coal fields. Nothing like competition,, isjj^e Journal's motto.
Hi_
GALESBUROH Illinois, has the greenest/ young man in the old Prairie State? according to the Republican of that, city, 'which says:
He was presented by a young lady with a fine plaited bosom shirt made with an open back. He wore it hind side before for a year before he found out how it worked. Onbeing told of his mistake he remarked that he thought it strange the young woman should pat so much work on the back.
She had better have improved apart of her time in giving the young gent private instructions how to wear the nameless garment.
THE Iudianapelis morning 'JottoVlflfT of to-day says: The Terre Haute papers copy the able and interesting address of the opponents of the coal road, names and all. The Terre Haute people admire it very much. They are pleased to be informed by our dl% tinguished fellow-citizens who signed, the address, that Indianapolis Is an "overgrown village," just "in the gristle," etc. The address is doubtless a verv good thing—for Terre Haute.
Terre Haute has an eye single to a good thing, and like the State Printer, proposes to save it. Hence the "interesting address" was duly copied. Many thanks, gentlemen it give^the energetic and enterprising Terre Hautentots courage for renewed exertions,
A Valuable Discovery.
The Indianapolis Journal of yesterday morning says this of a recent experiment of valuable clay discovered in Vermillion county, this State:
Mr. B. F. Masten, of Brazil, sent to the State Geological Department Saturday, two fire-clay bucks, which had been tested in a puddling furnace at Brazil. One of them, the celebrated Mount Savage, Pennsylvania, brick, was nearly half consumed, while the other, taken from the Vermillion county clay fields, was uninjured. Indiana minerals are again ahead.
Sometime since we called attention through the columns of the Evening GAZETTE to the fact that a valuable fire clay had been discovered in Vermillion county, along near the line of the Terre Haute & Chicago Railroad. We since learn from the Brazil Miner that Messrs. B. F. Masten and E. Montgomery, enterprising coal dealers and capitalists of that city, have effected the purchase of a large part of the valuable land lying over these valuable deposits and leased all they could get hold of which they could not purchase. They now propose to open out these deposits. They are men of capital and enterprise, and we have no doubt they will realize handsome profits from their foresight in purchasing and leasing these valuable lands. May they be fully rewarded, and may they herald to the world another of the mineral attractions of Indiana.

27.—It is reported in polit
ical circles that His Eminence Cardinal Giacomo Antonelli, Secretary of State and President of the Pontifical Ministry, has signified his intention of resigning his holy offices. Cardinal Antonelli was born in 1806, and his advanced age, together with his failing health is the cause of his retirement from office. His resignation will probably be accepted, and it is asserted that Cardinals Peetre or Lucca will be appointed in his stead. Deep regret is manifested in the Italian Cabinet at the probable retirement of this eminent divine.

NEW YORK, Feb.
27.—The following
is a special to the Times fxo.n Washington, Feb. 26: Three weeks will probably elapse before the New Orleans Investigating Committee will make their report, the testimony not yet having been written out. It is likely no legislation will be suggested further than the election for members for Congress, and of the Legislature of Louisiana, to take place the same time as the Presidential election, which', it is thought, may, in some measure, prevent fraud.

The following is the Tribune's special from Washingtonf Feb. 26: The, War Department finds itself in great embarrassment by reason of a reserve by the first Comptroller of a decision made by him more than a year ago on the passage of an act to the Treasury of the unexpended balances of appropriations, it was decided that the law did not apply on approppriations during the war for the organization and drill of the volun-teer-troops. Under this appropriation fifty clerks have been and are still employed in the War Department in settling the business growing out of the war.
A few days ago the Comptroller came to the conclusion that his former decision was wrong, and that what remained of the appropriation must be discharged
unless Congress complies with the recommendations ef the Secretary and appropriates the money.

SENATE.
Bills were introduced yesterday: By Mr. Rice: Providing that persons held as prisoners of war and are in the hospital at the time or subsequent to issuing their commissions shall have the same pay and emoluments as if mustered at that date.
By Mr. Spencer: Removing political disabilities from all persons engaged in the rebellion, on condition that they shall not be enabled to maintain any claim or right against the United States before such removal of disabilities, unless the same accrued prior to April 11, 1862, or subsequent to April 19,1865.
Mr. Conkling offered the following resolution jResolved, That the President be requested to inform the Senate of the number of recommendations for appointment to or removal from office, so far as can be ascertained, made to the present Administration by persons now Senators from the States of New York, Missouri, Illinois and Nebraska, respectively, giving such particulars as may be given in regard to such recommendations, in regard to the persons whose appointment or-removal was proposed, together with a statement of the number of cases in which action was taken in accordance with such recommendations, respectively of the number of such persons so appointed who have been removed also, whether any Senators have solicited appointments or removals in any sense other than by transmitting papers, stating character and qualifications of applicants, or of those who vouched for applicants, and if so, what Senators.
Mr. Sawyer moved to include South Carolina. Mr. Conkling accepted the amendment.
Mr. Tipton moved to amend so as to include all the States. Mr. Conkling said he was willing to vote for a similar resolution applying to all of the States, but he preferred to have this one pass unchanged, as he desired the information asked for as soon as possible.
Mr. Tipton said Mr. Conkling,seemed to favor partial investigations. Mr. Sumner called attention to the fact that Mr. Schurz and Mr. Trumbull had Just taken their seats. The investigation must not be pressed behind the backs of the Senators concerned.
Mr. Conkling said he had noticed the absence of the Senators mentioned. He would be candid and say that it was his own recommendation that he wished to get at.
Mr. Schurz asked to have the resolution read, as he was absent when it was offered.
The resolution was again read. Mr. Trumbull—When this matter of recommendations to office was brought to the attention of the Senate on Friday by the Senator from Indiana, (Morton,) I did not think proper to reply to his observations, and when he had seen a tabulated statement, Showing the number of recommendations made by me, I thought it was a business very much beneath the Senate, and any Senator, to be prowling about the Departments trying to find out how many recommendations were made by me, or by any Senator, as if that bad anything to do with the question then before the Senate. I shall make no opposition to this resolution. Let us have an investigation, and let it go further. I want to know who the sneaks are who go around to the departments seeking information of this kind. I want to know at whose instance it was that the department officials have been engaged in making out tabular statements in reference to one of the members of this body. I want to know who called for that information, and whether it was required in reference to all the Senators or only in reference to one. Let us see who these persons are that thus go prowling around the departments. Let us know from the heads of the departments for what purpose this information was sought, whether for public, purposes, or for personal, mean and contemptible purposes. 1 am willing to have this resolution pass, but I trust that civil service^eform is not to be defeated or corruption covered up by a personal attack on those v^ho attempt to expose them. It is a matter of very little concern to the people whether a Senator has recommended one or a thousand men for office,-but it is of great importance to. them to know whether improper, dishonest, or corrupt men are put in office, and whether they are placed there for personal, mercenary and jmnoper ends lam willing that this resoution shall pass with the amendment I have suggested. If there is anything to be made out of it let the Senators from
Indiana and New York have the benefit of it. So far as I am concerned I say to those Senators: "Lay pa McDuff and damned be he who first cries hold, enough."
Mr. Conkling said he would aecept the amendment proposed by Mr. Trumbull. Mr. Morton—The statement I spoke of Friday was not made out at my request. I do not kndtfr at whose request it was made out, but I had seen it. I should not have referred, to it, however,, but for the insinuations Senator Trumbull had biade in regard to myself and others hanging on to skirts of power for mercenary purposes. I have a right to denounce hypocrisy wherever I find it. If any man comes here and casts insinuations upon me that I am seeking tor patronage, while hp himself has gone as far as any onein recommending to offiee —has recommended in writing and verbuliythas etefr gbhe to the Exeeutivefthd demanded personally the appointment of relatives and friends has been persistent hsis been importunate—if any such* man comes on this floor and casts imputations on me, I have the right, without being criticised for it, to call attention fo what he has done himself.

when he has been one of the most importunate seekers for office, and has urged the appointment of his friends personally and in writing time and again. Now I. said that I had seen astatemeut showing that the Senator had made 103 recommendations in writing to this Administration. I believe that statement to be true and that it will be verified under the resolution offered By the Senator from New York.
The resolution went over at the expiration of the forenoon hour, and the Senate resumed the consideration of the resolution to inquire into the alleged sale of arms to French agents.
Mr. Nye addressed the Senate. He said that in the debate the purpose of destroying the Republican party had been openly avowed. The attack on the Administration had been arranged by two distinguished Senators, and they flattered themselves That between them they would be able to fetch Grant. These attempts to destroy the party would fail.
Mr. Nye then made a few remarks on amnesty, and concluded by reading from a California paper a parody upon "Excelsior," with a refrain at the end of each verse "Anything to beat Graqt."

I HAVE held the lives and liberties of great numbers in my hands I have heard many thousands of prayers for pardon I have had intercourse with those holding the highest places down to those living in the gloomiest cells. I have seen and felt as much as most men of the harshness and bitterness of the strife of this world. All this experience has led me to feel kindly toward my fellow man. The longer I live the better I think of men's hearts and the less of their heads. I grow more and more disposed to charge the evils men do to their infirmities, and the more deeply am I impressed with the great truth of that religion which teaches us the need of a Spirit to guide, a Savior to atone, and a merciful God to forgive manifold sins and. transgressions. —Horatio Seymour.
THE Methodist ministers of Boston have bad a great debate, the question being whether women should be admitto the ministry. Nothing very fresh was said, nor anythiog specially entertaining if we except the following declaration made by the Rev. Mark Traftou, who was once, we believe, a Know-Nothing Member of Congress: "I think the most miserable of all objects under heaven is a henpecked husband, and if I were one I w'ould leave thecountry.sohelp me God." Mr. Trafton appears to have spoken feelingly. But suppose Mr. Trafton should be henpecked without knowing it—what would he do then? Many an excellent man has passed his whole married life in that condition and has peen really happy under the infliction. It all depends upbn the man—aud the Romans,

A MOTHER, a few days since, found a lost daughter in New York, under circumstances showing that the girl had fallen to the lowest depths in vice, though all the good was not crushed out, for she was deeply affected on meeting her mother. The police officer who was present at the meeting of the two kindly expressed sorrow for the mother's tears, that fell in a shower, and attempted to console her. "Oh, sir," said the mother, "these are not tears of sorrow they are tears-j. of joy* at again seeing my darling child. She is my own, with all her faults." Could anything be more touching than that forgiveness of the mother, who could weap for joy at finding her child, who, in every sense, seemed lost. There is a lesson for fathers who discard daughters and sons on slight provocation that lesson teaches that a parent never should repel a child, degraded as that child may have been. Forgive, forgive, forgive, as you hope to be forgiven^
