Additional Local tfcws.

THE pay car of the Indianapolis & St. Louis R. R., was in town Tuesday and Wednesday making heavy disbursements to the hundreds of employes.— Mattoon Journal.

THIS from the regular Jenkins of -the forenoon Express: We may look for a good deal of gorgosity in the way of spring styles on Sunday, if the old bore, Boreas, will loose his grip in the meantime.

True to principles and practice.

TIIK new hotel will be sold by the assignee of the company, in bankruptcy, on 16th of April, subject to an incumbrance of $10,000.—Ind. Journal.

Another Tndianapolitau enterprise following in the wake of their narrow gauge railroad to the coal fields.

THE Jenkins, of the forenoon Express, will to-morrow doubtless peep into the door or windows of the city churches, else sit on the gatepost while worshippers pass in and out. This that he may inscrbe in detail the "Sunday harness," in which they may be arrayed. Commendable Jenkinsism, but reprehensible journalism.

TIIE Paris Beacon says that "work on the Paris & Danville Bailroad is now progressing with spirit. Workmen have been busy during the present week throwing up the grade for the switch connecting this road with the Indianapolis & St. Louis Railrbad. An installment of iron is expected during the week, and the work will be vigorously pushed from this time forth."

TIIK Express is entirely mistaken in supposing that we for a single moment "envy" its lonjr, tedious, personal Jen~ kinsizing report of the late graduting exorcises of the Normal School.

The egotistical and retired twig of the law who wrote it may really think, and the editor of the Express may pretend to think, that it is "mighty flue reading." The public, however, can hardly regard it in any other light than as a huge heap of stale, fiat and profitless trash.— Journal.

THU Indianapolis Journal of this morning says that "since the refusal of the State Board of Agriculture to sell the State Fair grounds, it is being generally conceded by real estate men that the city will cease growing in that direction and turn to the east. Already real estate is being inquired tor in the direction of the rising sun in a manner that indicates the general feeling on the subject."

HYMENEAL.—At four o'clock on Thursday last, quite a pleasant circle of friends and relatives met at the house of David B. Schofield to witness the marriage ceremony of his neice, Miss S. 13. Good, to Professor L. H. Jones, of Terre Haute. Miss Ella Schofield and Prof. N. Newby, acted the part of bridesmaid and groomsman. Everything passed off very pleasantly indeed. Quite a number of bridal gifts, mostly silver, were presented to the happy pair. After partaking of a very sumptuous feast, the wedding party took leave of their friends and started for Terre Haute, which is to be their future home.—Indianapolis Journal.

THE virtuous old family organ, better known as the old rattle trap, corner Sixth aud Ohio, yesterday assaulted the editors of the GAZETTE for alleged "Jeukinisiug" in the domestic circles, as a defense of their Jenkins who so flatly Jenkinsized the young lady graduates of the Normal School. This morning, that highly moral, pious and modest, sheet, serve up to its readers, as delicate morsels to roll under their tongues, three domestic scandals. Shades of departed consistency.

GASSY.—A healthy bank account is more necessary when the gas collector comes around than when the Collector of Internal Revenue makes his appearance. Even some consumers ol gas affirm that their bills are about as heavy when one burner is lighted as when three are used. The meters indicate about the same number of feet consumed month after month, without refereuce to the amount of burners used or the length of time lighted. Would not the election or appointment of a gas inspector, competent to the discbarges of his duties, do much to regulate these meters?

TIIF. construction of railroads in this section is likely to have an important iniluence on the number aud kind of votes polled next fall.—Express.

Characteristic of the old organ would rather not have railroad facilities than one constructed during a political campaign, lest too many of the laboring Irish be thus thrown into the district to vote the Democratic ticket, as isgenerally the .case. The Express does not say that in ,*0

words but it is generally so

-construed. We are iu favor of all woithy railroads, whether the Republican or Democratic party succeeds iu this -city, county or district. Internal improvements are of much more importance and interest to us than infernal politics.

Opening the Wabash.

Many of our Indiana and Illinois exchanges warmly favor the opening of the Wabash aud some advocate the turning of the waters of the Kankakee marshes into the Wabash, by trenching and ditching. We know nothing of the practicability of this enterprise, but we are strongly in favor of the opening of this stream to navigation which can be relied on for more than a few weeks of each succeeding year. A competent engineer has made a survey of the marshes and the intervening land to the Wabash river. His proposition is as follows, according to the Indiauapolis Journal nf Commerce:

The Wabasli may be made navigable as high as iFavette, by tapping the Kankakee and adjacent marshes, through means of a ditch or canal from twelve to fourteen miles in length, debouching into the Tippecanoe. According to my estimate at least one half of the water of the Kankakee may be thus turned into the Wabash, rendering it navigable from LaFayette to its mouth.

We have called attention to this statement before but, as it is a matter of the highest importance and we feel, of general interest to our readers' on the principle that a proposition to open navigation of the Wabash is a matter of the rarest importance, to all, we again allude to and take occasion to say a word in its favor, if the Engineer is correct. The gentleman is named Morley, and enjoys the .reputation of. being of high rank in his profession, and in the full enjoymentof the confidence of all who know him.

If the Wabash can be rendered available for transportation purposes by the successful carrying into execution this scheme, if inaugurated, we favor it. If practicable it is worthy the expenditure of any reasonable amount of money and manual labor to the cities, towns and people along and adjacent to the river from LaFayette to its mouth, to say nothing of the vast expanse of valuable land it would thus redeem from the marshy state in which it has so long been subjected, and place it "high and dry" on an agricultural basis. Thus two grand objects in particular are attainable by successfully carrying into operation of this proposed enterprise, if it be practicable. We are decidedly in favor of opening the navigation of the Wabash from LaFayette to its mouth by some means with a reasonable outlay.

Telegraphing and Telegraphers. "Jefferson," the traveling correspondent of the Sentinel, compliments the magnetic telegraph, the inventor thereof and the operators along the line of the Vandalia from Indianapolis to this city, as follows:

At every station along our railroads the click of the telegraph operators tolls us of the most wonderful invention of the nineteenth century. The discovery of Morse has annihilated space and distance, even the movements of time. Without the aid ot the operator railroads would have to run on slow time and use but few trains. The importance of his services in the. present order of running trains can not be well over-estimated, for every day he saves life and property by his telegraphic intelligence. On this road, between your city and Terro JIaute, they have fifteen operators, viz.

Indianapolis, J. P. Lennert, day operator and General Superintendent of office D. P. Record, night operaton.

Bridgeport, Miss L. White, telegraph operator. Plainfield, C. Greene,telepraph operator.

Cartersburg, L. Rawlins, telegraph operator. Clayton, C. A. Hartwell, telegraph operator.

Coatsville, P. W. Allen, telegraph operator. Greeficastle, W. E. Perryman, day operator George Forsyth, night operator.

Junction, S. R. Spaulding, telegraph operator. Reelsville, J. V. Martin, telegraph operator.

Brazil, C. E. Reely, telegraph operator. Harmony, S. L. Tomlinson, telegraph operator.

Staunton, R. Kelsey, telegraph operator. Se^leyville, J. L. H. Connell, telegraph operator.

Terre Haute, J. L. Boyd, day operator E. R. Laventeau, night train dispatcher and operator.

W. H. Boyd, superintendent of telegraph and train dispatcher. The knowledge of these operators and their prompt attention to business, has been one cause, and a prominent one, too, of the very few accidents on this grand old road.

Indeed, the telegraph is behind no other invention of the age in which we live—an age, which in this respect, has no precedent. In the above list, too, can be found the names of some of the ablest operators in the country. Dispatcher Boyd, of the Vandalia, for instance, is second to none iu the practice of his profession—mechanically or intellectually. He has a knowledge of the movements anil direction of every train when on the road,and prevents collisions.

A Deserved Compliment.

The LaFayette Cb«nerjustly and courteously compliments our beautiful and prospering city as follows:

Terre Haute builds an Opera House at an expense of $180,000 with half the flurry and less friction than it cost LaFayette to commence a §30,000 affair. We shall build our Opera House with Terre Haute nails (the best in the market)—an invaluntarily but just tribute to her superior enterprise, which, after inviting the establishment of a nail factory in the midst of her productive industry, fostered it by home patronage, sustained it with cheap money, and as the reward of her liberality and her enterprise now rejoices in two large nail factories—giving employment to hundreds ot men—and planting the foundation of her prosperity deep and strong. The smoke of her factories by day and the lurid light of her furnaces by night—the pillar and the cloud—show where she leads the way.

The Courier, however, cheerfully acknowledges the fact that the compliment to the nail works here is involuntary, but just to Terre Haute enterprise. That the compliment is involuntary is all the more appreciated by these interested in the works, and the denizens of our city. This mammoth establishment furnishes nails to be used iu the construction of many thousands of structures throughout the country. We congratulate the amusement-goers of LaFayette that the nails to be u^ed iu the construction of their temple of music come from the Terre Haute Nail Works. The structure will never tumble down on their heads if the nails are judiciously used.

POETICALLY POLITICAL.—Some idiot syncratic poetically inclined lunatic of Fort Wayne, favors us with an effusion from his addled brain aud scrawling quill, which compares favorably with the mangled verses aud jingling rhymes which semi-occasionally appear in the editorial columns of the forenoon Express. This poetical effusion ist of Fort Wayne, like the organ grinder of this city, assaults Scburz, Trumbull and other founders of the Republican party. He has evidently made a mistake in addressing the doggerel. He meant to send it to the Express where it would be much more likely to be appreciated. Let this Fort Wayne poet of high aspirations send us torpedoes, small pox, cerebrospinal meningitis, infernal machines, any thing but his infernal doggerel.

IT is said that the aristocratic postmaster of Indianapolis enjoyed the felicity of supping with O. Logan Sykes, at the Union Depot, that city, the other day. The Sentinel says the Journal failed to notice the important event. Not surprised, but the new organ, the Commercial, should not thus have been direlict in duty in this respect, lest it lose the influence of this truly great and good official.

For the Gazette.

Harness on tlie Brain.

The gallanty you display iu your strictures on "Jenkinsism" is appreciated, but spare, we beg

3Tou,

the harmless

fling at our "make up." Certainly we pity the demented brain that could compliment our clothing, more than our intellect and attaiuments, but what better can we expect of one who has "harness ou the brain," so marked, as to pen and publish the following in reference to our public religious gatherings: "But few sets of'nice harness' at the gospel dress parades yesterday." It is too sad a case on which to waste, either printer's ink, or cast-off clothing. But, if he desires to represent the female character, either as a teacher in our schools, or at their "gospel dress parades," the ladies referred to, will furnish him appropriate regalia, from some of the cast-off articles of their wardrobe, on application to the teachers of the Normal School.

A Plot Betrayed.

The Washington correspondent of the Times says: "There is a game of deception going on in regard to the Cincinnati Convention, which is believed to be fostered by the leaders of the movement, whoever they may be. When the meeting was first announced it was advertised as a mass convention but it is now known that efforts are being made to quietly secure the selection of delegates so as to give the control of the meeting to its promoters. To this end the movers in Missouri and Tennessee have selected delegates, and it is understood that the same thing will be done in other States. This new move is said to have been initiated because of the fear that the loyal Republicans would, follow the advice of certain papers and go to Cincinnati in force, take possession of the Convention, and indorse the Administration."

The Federal office-holders have called their convention to meet at Philadelphia in June. No one purposes to disturb or interfere with them. They have even complained that the editor of this journal did not sign their call, insisting that this would have been only a formal or ministerial act though, had he signed, they would at once have-argued that his signature bound him to abide by the result of that convention. We trust noone will attend that gathering who has not fully made up his mind to let the present incumbents have another four years' lease of office and power.

But the Cincinnati Convention is none of their affair. They did not call it they are not invited their presence is not desired. Let them mind their own business and run their own machine.

Yet it is plain, from the foregoing ex-/ tract, that they had formed a plot to surprise and capture the Cincinnati Convention, and are chagrined that the opportunity is not to oe afforded them. They may do as they will at Philadelphia but they can not have their way at Cincinnati. Are they not entitled to. compassion?—N. Y. Tribune.

A WELL-DRESSED and lady-like invidual who was detected in stealing a pair of silk hose in a Boston store, burst into tears when approached by one of the proprietors and offered him twenty dollars". He magnanimously, after quietly censuring her, charged her only the regular price for the hose, and handed back the change. Too late he discovered that the bill was counterfeit.

WHEN the cars came iu, Governor Cooke, who is a great linguist, addressed the Embassy in Japanese. We must say the Japs looked somewhat bewildered, as if they were troubled in their minds, and when asked by their Interpreter how they liked it, they said, "On the half shell," which shows some confusion about the address of welcome.— Washington Capital.

A LADY writing from Florence, says that Hart, the Kentucky sculptor, is engaged upon "the most beautiful female figure the world has ever seen," and that it will require many years to complete the work. "You know, my dear friend," said Hart, "it takes even the Almighty nineteen years to make a perfect woman."

Two men having arranged to fight a duel in Rhode Island, the Governor issued a proclamation forbidding it, whereupon one of the parties sent him a acrte saying that one of them would stand in Connecticut and the other in Massachusetts and shoot over his miserable little State.

Judge Bedford admitted him to bail in $10,000, which was furnished, and Cook was set at liberty. It is rumored that Cook has returned to appear as a witness against Haggerty & Baulch, but the report is not substantiated.

The members o/ the Produce Exchange, yesterday, finally resolved to purchase the building they now occupy for two hundred and sixty-five thousand dollars.

The New York & Boston Express Company has been discovered to be insolvent. It was started two years ago with the assistanoe of the Erie managers, and its sudden collapge is said to be one of the results of the recent change in the Erie management. The indebtedness is said to be about $60,000. A chattel mortgage is held by the Erie Company on all the horses, wagons and equipments of the Express Company, to cover money advanced for the outfit. A meeting of the creditors takes place this noon.

Michael Dolan, during a general quarrel with Dominick Gerarty and his wife, at No. 70 Mulberry street, Wednesday evening, was attacked by them, ejected, beaten aud thrown down stairs, receiving probably fatal injuries. He was removed to Bellevue Hospital, and his assailants were arrested yesterday and held to await an investigation.

NEW YORK, March 23.—A Washington special to the Tribune says: Mr. Dana, of the New York Sun, whoreturned to New York Thursday night, has furnished the special committee to investigate the official conduct of Secretary Robeson, with the names of twelve or fifteen naval officers, some of them of very high rank, who, it is said, are ready to testify to damaging facts against the contract system of the Department, and other irregularities in connection with the conduct of the present Secretary and his administration of the office.

NEW YORK, March 23.—John M. Downs, a stencil plate maker, and Im wife, living on 52 Mulberry street, quarrelled last evening with John Crowe and his wife, who live in the same house. All the parties were intoxicated. Downs was pitched down the stairs by Crowe and wife and his skull fractured. He died shortly afterwards. All the parties were arrested.

TRENTON,March 23.—The boiler in the New Jersey Steel aud Iron Works exploded last night, creating a scene of the greatest confusion. The boiler tender, named Hughes, is missing, aud is supposed to have been blown to atoms. Five other employees received serious injuries, principally about the head. The boiler is forty feet long, and was carried seventy feet into the blacksmith shop, wych it entered and demolished. The explosion was heard for miles.

CHICAGO, March 23.—Among the victims of the terribie accident on the Pennsylvania Central Bailroad yesterday was Miss Amanda Hartman, of Chicago, Miss Hartman was the eldest daughter of Rev. Dr. Hartman, pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, which was sit-1

uated, before the fire, on the corner of Ohio.and La Salle streets. She had been visiting a cousin in Baltimore and was returning to her home. She was twenty years old. The remains will reach this city to-day.

The Governor has still refused to sign the Chicago burnt records bill without certain modifications, which should make it seem to him less revolutionary than in its present condition. He wants a law to cure titles crippled by the fire, and not one to establish titles which did not exist before the fire. He wants to avoid the violent process of setting up titles upon partial evidence, and also wishes to see thejudicial function of pronouncing upon the validity and necessity of certain abstract books entrusted to the Judges of local courts, and not to the County Commissioners.

The Senate yesterday voted to call back the bill from the Governor's hands with a view to amending it. Besides the changes suggested, it will probably receive as additional sections Mr. Woodard's bill for the prevention of extortion on the part of abstract men, and Mr. Dore' bill for the punishment of those persons who undertake to get bogus deeds recorded also, doubtless, some other new features. This will send the bill back to the House.

SPRINGFIELD, III., March 23.—A man named Stein and *a woman, the wife of Mr. Guerdon Merrifield, of Winnebago county, were arrested here yesterday, having been living together for ten days in seclusion as man and wife.

Mr. Merrifield forgave his. wife aud started home with her last night. She is about 25 years of age, and is the mother of three children. Stein is a young man of about 20 years.

CINCINNATI, Marcu 23.—The fiue residence of Harry Smith, on Walnut Hills, burned this forenoon. Loss, $15,000 or $20,000.

[Associated Press Report.]

LOUISVILLE, March 22.—The Deputy Coroner was summoned again to the ruins of the Ohio Falls Car Works, in Jeffersonville, yesterday, to hold another inquest. All that was left of what was once a human being was about a half a peck of charred bones. Dr. W. D. Fouts, upon inspection, pronounced the bones those of a human being. An inquest was held upon the remains, and a verdict returned that the deceased came to his death by burning, and that he was unknown. The bones were tyund in the wood and machine shop, and uear where the fire originated. As there are none of the men missing, it is thought by some that the remains found are those of the man who set fire to the building, and in trying to escape lost his life. There seems to be no doubt' that the remains found are those of a person not in the employ of the company, as the foremen have reported their men all safe, excepting Mr. Phelps, whose death we noticed yesterday.

The Car Works Company were busy all day yesterday clearing up the debris and trying to get things in some order. The fence on the east side of the yard, which was burned, was replaced by anew fence. The foremen of all the shops had gangs of men under them, busily engaged iu assorting out the machinery and piling it away The saving of the patterns of this company was fortunate, as their destruction would have made the loss heavy indeed.- There are 1,500,000 feet of lumber on »the ground, there having been but very little lumber burned. There will be but little done toward rebuilding until the arrival of the insurance adjustors, who are expected to-day.

There was a report in circulation yesterday, that the Car Works Compaay were going to locate their works elsewhere. There is nothing iu this report.

[Condensed irom Associated Press Report.] CONGRESSIONAL.

SENATE.

Bills were reported as follows By Mr. Pomeroy, from the Committee on Lands: To secure homesteads to actual settlers on the public domain, repealing the pre?emption laws and providing for homestead settlements only.

Mr. Logan called up the bill lo enable discharged soldiers and sailors, or their widows, to acquire homesteads on public lands.

At the expiration of the morning hour, the tariff bill came up, but Mr. Windom asked that this bill be laid aside, so that the homestead bill might"pass.

Mr. Logan said that four hundred soldiers petitioned its passage. Mr. Sherman objected.

On a call of the yeas and nays, 27 voted to lay the tariff bill aside and 10 against.

Messrs. Logan, Windom and Stewart then advocated the bill and it passed. The Vice President laid before the Senate a memorial signed by over 800 women of Utah, strongly deprecating the admission of that Territory into the Union as a State. In a letter addressed to the Vice President, accompanying the memorial, a committee of five ladies state that a large majority of the signers have been residents of Utah and members of the Mormon Church for many years, that numbers of them have had personal and very bitter experience of tlie practical workings of polygamy, and that they have every reason to believe that their wrongs would be continued and greatly intensified by the admission of Utah into the Union, and the consequent accession of power to the Mormon priesthood. The papers w«re ordered printed.
