THE Court House will be turned over by contractor Lansmon on the 2d prox Ex. "Stand from under"

THERE has been quite a $Jtir in Wabash College on account of the undisputed fondness of a large* number of students for billiards and other forbidden amusements. The excitement culmin ated in the suspension of 'three of the students as a warning to the others.— Ind. Journal.

THE Indianapolis Journal of Commerce of this week says N. S. Patton, late of the Seitz House Oreensburg, takes possession of the National Hotel at Terre Haute next Monday.

Mr. Patton is to improve the interior of the building in many respects, thus making of it a first-class institution in all respects, we understand.

THE house of Stephen Voorhees, (father of the Hon. D. \V. Voorhees), on Coal Creek, was burned one day last week. The fire broke out about the middle of the afternoon, and is supposed to have originated in a defective pipe or flue. The neighbors gathered in as rapidly as possible to arrest the flames, but without avail. No persons being about the premises but the aged couple when the fire began, ibut little could be done iu time.—Attica Ledger.

THE editor of the Evansville Courier and George Wolfiiu, are having a slight misunderstanding, because the former charges the latter as being a "revenue violator," whatever that means. The editor clamors and pines for an opportunity to prove his assertions. Now the question is, what is Mr. Wolflin going to do about it? TfMMsditor offers to secure any judgment M. W. will receive at the hands of a Vanderburgh jury.

THE BALLOON MAN KNAPP.—A letter from special mail agent Beard, received this morning, says that a full investigation of the affairs of the Paoli postoffice reveals the fact that Ivnapp's defalcation amounts to $1,650, instead of $4,000, as as stated yesterday. How much lie "cribbed" before he embarked in the money order business is not known, and, perhaps never will be. Up to the present writing the whereabouts of the delinquent is unknown, but his arrest is not far off.

Mr. Knapp has a good wife, and two daughters, both nearly grown, who are left dependent by his rascality. They are highly respected at Paoli, aud have the sympathies of a large number of friends iii their affliction.— Neio Albany Ledger.

JOURNALISTIC AND PERSONAL. Major O. J. Smith, late of the Mail, has returned from a short business trip to St. Louis. We learn that the Major will issue a Sunday morning paper at St. Louis very soon.

George W. Cummings, also late of the Mail, has returned from a month's stay at the State University at Bloomington, where he has been in the interest of himself and the general public, we trust, flnishing his collegiate course. He will accompany Major Smith to St. Louis, aud assist him iu the establishment of that Sunday morning paper, we hope on a permaueut and paying basis. We await in anxious suspe^e for the first number.

HARRY WATSON says that during the few days he ha» been out of newspaper harness he has just begun to enjoy life.— Springfield {Ills.) Register.

Now will Harry assume the perpendicular and tell an expectant people how the many hundred daily readers of the Register "enjoy life" since that great departure. By the way, we are reminded that Harry is to be before the Republican nominating convention of Springfield as a prospective candidate for the position of City Clerk. It would afford us a real pleasure to give Harry a hearty journalistic support, if we were a resident of Springfield iu that capacity. In all that jieat city we feel assured there is not another gentleman in the Republican ranks better fitted for the position than Harry C. Watson. This from one who knows him as a businessman and a gentleman of integrity.

THE following from the West Main street forenoou Imbecile: The evening paper oalls the editor of the Banner "a lop-eared Dutchman." Both parties are strongly Radical, but we supposed that Col. Hudson had more discretion than to allow his sheet- to abuse and insult a large and respectable portion of our citizens by the use of such epithets,

We take pleasure in performing the duty of mildly though firmly assuring the chief clipper of the forenoon ImbecUe, thafcihe willfully prevaricates. The GAZETTB is not strongly Radical, nor did the eVening paper call Uncle Fabby a lop-eared Dutchman. We had reference to his Banner. Our much esteemed otemporary called us hard names in Dutch and that was still worse than we did. Let

Uncle Fabby attend strictly to hi* own business, and not throw stones while he continues to reside in a glass house, and the GAZETTE will not molest or make him afraid to rush in where such fools as the forenopu Imbecile, even dare not rush in.

The Terrc Haute & Chicago Railroad. In writing up a trip to Danville over the Terre & Chicago railroad, among other things of interest along the line of the road, the editor of the Newport Transcript says that "Mr. Collettis pushing the work on his main track from the I. B. & W. Junction to the city, with astonishing rapidity, considering the season. The way is cut out and a very considerable part of the grading is done, and hundreds of men and horses are at work piling up the dirt or cutting down the ridges. We judge his track will have less grades than has that of the I. B. & W., along the south side of which it runs. The work of raising the trestle across the creek near the Junction, was progressing as we passed.

Leaving the I. B. &. W. & T. H. & C. railroad junction near Danville, we started over the track of the Terre Haute & Chicago road, homeward bound, finding the track iu splendid condition. _/Vftpr• »"y qiacm-Q «*.» cir^aviric" and JKugene, we were landed at Newport, at fifteen minutes past two, only forty-three minutes from ttme of starting, and we felt that Danville is much nearer to us than when a few months ago we made the trip on horseback."

Indeed, the traveling public of to-day find that time and space have been annihilated by the arts and sciences of the wonderfully progressive age in which we live. So deep-rooted has became the general disposition to be moving, in the people of the present generation, a train which does not make twenty-five miles an hour is considered a slow coach indeed. Judging from the improvements by art and science of the last half century, who can fathom the strides that are to be made in the same direction in the next half century?

Sensational. THE PISTOL.

The Greencastle Banner of day before yesterday says that "a shooting affair took place late Saturday afternoon, on the street near Hubbard's grocery, between Dr. Robinson Franklin and .G. D. Blakely, Jr. As near as we can learn, Franklin fired five or six shots with a large revolver, and Blakely one with a small single-barreled Derringer pistol. Two balls passed through Blakely's overcoat. The origin of the difficulty seems to have been caused by the circulation of slanderous reports by Franklin and his son concerning a young lady relative of Blakely's, of the most outrageous and indefensible character, and to which the better part of the community give no credit whatever."

BODY FOUND.

The Viucenues Sun of yesterday says that "last Wednesday forenoon the body of au unknown man was found dead in the Wabash river, about three miles below this city. A full description of the deceased is giv^n in the Coroner's notice, published to-day. There was no article of value found on the persou of the deceased, nor anything by which the body could be identified. The man had evidently been dead several weeks, as the flesh was black, aud in some places had fallen off the bones by decomposition, aud the fish had eaten portions of the limbs and body. The remains were brought to this city, on Wednesday evening aud interred."

FUOM private sources we learn that strenouous efforts are being made by residents of the Fifth Ward, in which Mr. D. N. Foster, of the firm of Foster Brothers, resides and owns property, to iuduce him to accept a nomination for the municipal office of city Councilman from that ward. With what success this movement is meeting we are not able to chronicle at this time. We can and do conscientiously say, however, that if Mr. Foster would accept the nomination and be duly installed in the position by the voice of the voters of that ward, he would make a most efficient official, aud did he bring to bear in the discharge of his official duties in the interest of hisconstituency the same tireless vigil and effective ene-gy which has characterized his efforts iu themaintenance and sustenance of his business here, he would indeed make a most valuable acquisiton to our Council

Board.

Struck Dumb.

The perfectly calm and collected editor of the Newport Transcript has been to Terre Haute recently, and of course his paper teems with Terre Haute items Among other things, he says of Riddles, where he had the indiscretion to take a peep into the wholesale millinery tie partment. We use his own words: "We go up stairs. We are lost in won der, and struck dumb with astonishment Siuch sweet flowers. So pretty, and in such endless varieties, it is useless lor us to attempt to enumerate and describe."

Though this was an awful calamity we feel assured that the Transcript editor would

Jump at fc chance" to go to the

si me place again, and take the risks of of speechless wonder and indescribable bewilderment.

The Cincinnati Convention. When the Republican party first appealed to the people, its demands were summed up in the stirring legend: "Free Soil, Free Speech, Free Labor and Free Men." The great ends of Free Soil, Free Labor and Free Men have been gained, and the meeting of the Cincinnati Con vention will determine whether the Republican party can tolerate Free Speech without ceasing to exist. The right of the people to peaceably assemble was made a part of the fundamental law long before the Republican party was organized, and that party owed its origin to the persistent denial of that right by the party previously in power. The Republican p$rty is now in power, and those controlling the Government were elected by it and we insist that the long-established right of any portion of the people, Republicans or not, to assemble in convention or otherwise, and to present their complaints, and to take such other political action as may seem to them good, is too sacred to be called in question by officeholders, officeseekers, or the managers and di rectors of parties or caucuses. When the Republican party, through its official organizations, State or National, or both, undertakes to declare that any person who shall attend a public meeting, or participate in a convention, composed exclusively of Republicans, to demand political reforms which the party neglects or refuses to* adopt, thereby ceases to be a member of the party,it will be adopting the same policy which overthrew the Democratic party. The Cincinnati Convention is to be Republican or nothing. It has been called by Republican principle. If that be treason, Messrs. Morton, and Conkling, and Murphy can make the most ofit.

Right here arises the question whether the Republican party is an organization for the election or appointment of a particular squad of men to office, and therefore a mere party of plupder, or whether it be a party having a distinct and declared policy of government, which it seeks to carry out for the benefit of the country and of the human family. It it be the former, and the sole purpose of the party be to distribute plunder among Leets, Stockings, and other favorites, then the party is a fraud, and the sooner it is replaced by some other organization the better. But if the party have a higherpurpose, and the national welfare is sough t^jthen it is a pertinent meet at Cincinnati propose any departure from the doctrines of Republicanism? What do they say of themselves? In the resolutions leading to the call of this Convention they say 1. "That we, faithful now, as we were in the dark days of war, to the vital principles of Republicanism, by no act or word, directly or indirectiy, will endanger the rightful sovereignty of the Union. 2. "That no form of taxation is just or wise which puts needless burdens upon the people. 3. "That the shameless abuse of the Government patronage for the control of conventions and elections, whether in the interest of individuals or of a party, with its consequent corruption and demoralization of political life, demands the thorough and geniune reform of the public service. 4. "That local self-govern men tu with impartial suffrage, will guard the rights of all citizens more securely than any centralized authority. 5. "We demand, with equal suffrage for all, complete amnesty for all, that the intellect and experience of every State may be welcomed to active service for common welfare. 6. "That true Republicanism makes it not the less our duty to expose corruption, denounce usurpation of power, and work for reforms necessary for the public welfare. "We, therefore, invite all Republicans who desire the reforms hereiuset forth to meet in Mass Convention at Cincinnati," &c.

Is there anything in this declaration that is inimical to Republicanism Is there a word there which any Republican ought to object to as a part of the platform at Philadelphia We hold that it is perfectly proper for auy Republican who chooses to do so to attend the Cincinnati Convention. Those who go will stand in no danger of being read out of the party, for they will be too numerous to be spared. Every Congressional District in the West ought to be, and we presume will be, represented there. The State of Illinois ought to have a hundred of its leading Republicans at Cincinnati, for they can exercise an influence far more potent upon the next Presidential election there, than they can hope to exercise at Philadelphia.— Chicago Tribune, E

A NUMBER of patent right swindlers are operating in the north part of the State, They obtain the signatures of unsuspecting farmers to a specious document which afterwards, in the most mysterious mauner, turns out to have been a promissory note, payable in bank, and which the farmer, with mauy grumblings, is compelled to pay months afterward, wheu the oily, specious agept is far beyond reach. The patent upon which the present swindlers are basing their rascally operations is a hay fork.

THE

Terre Haute, (Ind.) Journal asks:

"How would it sound for a Demoorat to shout 'Hurrah for Davis?"' To which a Republican editor responds—"Prefix Jeff to it, and it would be the most natural sound In the world." It is quite as likely that the Democrats will shout 'Jeff" as that they will sing soqgs of praise for 'David." '—N. Y. Herald.

A JERSEY CITY paper certifies that Busan B. Anthony wears suspenders. We shall not ask how the Jersey City paper knows what Susan B. wears, but merely remark that if she does wear suspenders she does a most sensible thing. The feminine habit of carrying the weight of clothing on the hips is a most fearful one.

From the Plymouth Republican. Squire Long.

The old citizen of St. Joseph county, Indiana, who don't know Esquire .Long, of Mishawaka, has no claim to the title of "old citizen." He was not always a temperance man, although he was always kind-heartea and generous.

Before the 'Squrie joined the Washingtonians, Uncle Billy Caldwell, well known in Mishawaka was arrainged before the 'Squire for neglecting to pay a small debt, which required a trial before a magistrate to convince him he had ever contracted it on the day of trial the plaintiff appeared with his counsel and witnesses all under the influence of liquor. Caldwell comprehended the situation, and acting as his own lawyer, asked the court for a continuance of the case for the reasons that— 1. The constable was drunk. 2. The witnesses were drunk. 3. The plaintiff's attorney was drunk. 4. The plaintiff was drunk. 5. The defendent was drunk. 6. That without intending to show any disrespect or contempt for the Court, he was compelled to say that the Court was drunk too.

The case was continued without argument, and the 'Squire made the proper entry, upon his docket to suit the circumstances.

Long still lives, an honest sober, industrious citizen. Caldwell is still living, just about the same funny old- soaker he was thirty years ago.

From the Pittsburg Leader.

Tlie Descendants of old Simon Kenton They Make a Trip into Illinois. Recently Mr. Jeremiah Jett and his estimable lady, of Bracken county, Ky., paid a visit to their relatives at Mattoon, Illinois, from which they returned a few days ago. Mr. Jett belongs to a notable Kentucky family. His father and mother are yet living on the north fork of Lick iug river, on their old homestead, in perfect health. They have had twenty-one children, nineteen of them living, and all have been well settled by their parents and are now in good circumstances. Mr. Jeremiah Jett is a fine specimen of a well-to-do Kentucky tobacco planter. He owns and lives on six hundred acres of land, a part of one of the original Simon Kenton surveys. Mrs. Jett is the greatgrand daughter of Simon Kenton, and her father aud mother are yet living in Robertson county, Ky. We once fcuew them well, and Mr. Kenton was an industrious, economical man, and of great respectability. We are now informed by those knowing Thomas Jett and his wife, the father and mother of Jeremiah Jett, that they have now three hundred and seventy-five direct descendents living around them, very few of them ever having been out of Kentucky. Mr. Jeremiah Jett says is father is nearly ninety years of age, and his mother between seventy and eighty, neither of whom was sick enough to need the attention of a phys«cian, and neither of whom was ever on board a steamboat or railroad car. The recent'trip to Illinois was Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Jett's first trip outside of their native State and they enjoyed it immensely. The Kentuckians at Mattoon paid them great attention, visiting the great machine shops, car shops, elevators, the business houses, aud public buildings with them, aud while on the elegant and elevated school houses of the town, Mr. Jett imagined he could see far into the the south, "the Hermitage," Fort Pickering and Nathez-uuder-the-hill and to the west the arrival and departure of trains at Kansas City, and the 'burnt district" the north and right over the cities of Indianapolis and Cincinnati, into Kentontown and Bridgeville, Kentucky. They returned to their glorious old commonwealth much pleased with steam elttgineS atfa'trie raiirbdu. r"""rrr~
