Additional Local News.

A STEAM hat and bonnet bleachery is an institution of this city. See local notice columns, help wanted.

MONCSH'S HOTEL, New Albany, is the "Gretna Green" for Kentucky eloping parties, while the Gait House, Louisville, is the "Gretna Green" of Indiana eloping syndicates.

WE learn that a brakemau of tlje Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad whose home is at Mattoon, was killed on that road at Danville, this State, one day this week. Name unknown to us.

LANGFORD this noon received, per lightning express, the last and most luscious oysters of the season. Call and get a can without delay. They will not keep long, for various reasons, and foremost of which reasons is that they will not have an opportunity.

IT IS the generally expressed opinion among the "knowing ones" that the acquisition of C. J. Brackebush, to citizenship in this city, is a grand tiling for Terre Haute, as he has already evinced a tact for business and enterprise of the highest order.

MCMAHAN is the champion egg packer and shipper of the Wabash valley, to say the least. He has packed and shipped at and from his establishment in this city two hundred thousand dozen of the luscious ripe fruit of the productive henneries of this most productive valley.

Is THE rumor true, that eight cent coal is being furnished the Asylum for the poor, at sixteen cents per bushel, or is it false? The GAZETTE columns are open, for either a confirmation or contradiction of this rumor, as business facts only are desired. Who will rise to explain

ALEXANDER MCGKEG®R, ESQ., is the proud proprietor of the most beautiful yard and garden we have observed in the city. Mr. McGregor has several men employed even now iu cleaning off the old "truck" from his garden and yard, and preparing the former for the coming seed time. A pleasant walk is that on the west side of his large residence and valuable open lot north of the garden.

WOULD it not be acceptable if our amiable cotemporaries of Evansville would, out of consideration for their readers, issue a supplement or extra edition of ten thousand copies in which to villify each other. The Courier is considerate enough to lable that which it aims at the Journal, but the latter sheet, f.iils to even give its readers that much opportunity for self-protection.

A PUN-FIEND came into our office this morning, aud leaning over our shoulder, hisseil through his set teeth "Can you tell me the difference betweeu a place where advertisements are posted, aud an account for hotel expenses?" "No," was our reply. "Well," continued the demon, "One is a bill-board, and the other is a boar.i-bill." A shattered ink-stand and the broken lock of the door as it was slammed to by our departing tormentor, reveal what followed.—Fort Wayne Sentinel.

THE local scientists of Iudianapolis, have been making a thorough scientific investigation of a specimen of omiiho'logy, reported to them by an ornithologieally inclined ruralist, who resides iu the wilderness not far from that city, as a peculiarly new species of eagle. The learned body decided after careful examination, aud mature deliberation that the ornithological specimen is nothing more or less than a turkey buzzard

AN AGGRAVATED CASE.—The most aggravated case of April fooling we have heard of is that of a member of the Legislature who paid large express charges on a nice keg labeled "Pure Old Bourbon," and cautiously took it to his room, invited his friends to "sample" it, and then found it Sangamon river water. There is no lack of enterprise shown in the late publication of this item, for the victim threatened to eviscerate "anybody who let this thing get into the papers," so we had to hold it till after the adjournment.— Springfield {III.) Register.

THE pateut inside of the Galesburg Republican (extra) copies an article from the Terre Haute GAZETTE, and gives credit of the same to the Express. The Galesburg side of the Republican copies an article from the Terre Haute GAZETTE, and give no credit. How and why is this thus? The article of the pateut side of the Republican improperly credited, relates an incident in the life of Crawf.Scott while iu the service of Uncle

Sot Malicious.

"Oswego," the Terre Haute correspondent of the Sullivan Union, among many other things, says that "Addie L. BalJou, a spiritual lecturer, has felt herself very greatly grieved at the republication of an article in some Chicago paper, iu the GAZETTE, reflecting pretty severely on the good name and fame of Addie, and she has come down on Mr. GAZETTE in the shape of a suit for libel in our Circuit Court, charging said paper with a great want of that courtesy which ladies have a right to expect of mankind.

The plaintiff has considerable character throughout the country, as a lecturer, or rather lecturess, and is said to be quite "talented aud vivacious," and has the personal appearance of being a kindhearted, good little woman.

If I could conclude that there was any malice in the GAZETTE iu this thing, I would be compelled to say that it was not "Strat-Kosian" in that paper to publish such things about Addie, and that, perhaps, all things being considered, it had better not been done. I am sure that if there has been anything wrongfully done in the matter, the gallant proprietors of the GAZETTE will hasten to make all proper apologies."

RIVER NEWS.—Casks of sugar and hams, sacked wheat, etc., in great quantities, give to the levee a lively business appearance.

The steamer Young America, which arrived hist evening, laden with pork, for Preston, Lake & Co., left about 9 A. M. on her down trip reports less than four feet of water in channel and the river falling.

The Phoenix, Capt. Elberson, arrived at seven this morniug from Palestine, with pork for Kearns, and wheat for Smyser & Milton. With her barge "Relief," the manifest shows, eighty-nine large casks of Bacon and 550 sacks of wheat. We are indebted to Mr. Jones^ the owner of the Phoenix, for this report, who also says, "the Phoenix will leave at 12 this day for Palestine."

The "Try Us" is still trying it on, up the river, and expected hourly.

TTIE Indianapolis & St. Louis railroad is not tobe behind its active competitor, the Vandalia, in the line of the latest improvements, judgiug by the following from the Indianapolis Journal:

The atmospheric brakes are being introduced on the Indianapolis & St. Louis roud.

These Westenhouse brakes are truly a great invention «f the age. Our own valued fellow-citizen, Mr. Peddle, Superintendent of motive power and machinery, however, has invented a brake which competent and skillful engineers iuform us is eveu a more valuable invention. It is to be regretted, then, that excessive modesty keeps him in the back-ground with his invention.

QUITE a number of new syndicates of Indianapolis are reported as being in an embryo state of organization, for the purchase of the grand Union Hotel, which is soon to be sold at baukrupt sale. The principle organization, representing the largest amount of capital contemplating its purchase, we believe is the boot blacks mutual protective association. Th^y wish to purchase it for a hospital or home for those of their profession, who become prematurely superanuated by reason of hard labor in removing the soil of Pogue's Run from Iudianapolis boots.

ESTERDAY afternoon one of the most solemn, sorrowing and sympathizing funeral processions we have ever seen in this city, followed the remains of Jas. H. Turner, Jr., to their last resting place—the city cemetery—beautiful city of the dead, where lies buried so many of the dear departed of our friends and neighbors of this city. The funeral services of Mr. Turner were conducted by the Rev. M. A. Jewett, and were of a very solemn and impressive character. The presiding divine is a warm personal friend of the Turner family, as were those who attended the obsequies.

THE Journal stands corrected in regard to the statement made yesterday about the cleanly and filthy little boys and girls of tliepublic schools sitting together, we judge from the following, taken from that sheet this morning: "Supt. Wiley assures us that the boys and girls do not set together in the public schools."

The Journal man evidently knows so little about the schools—though a member of the Board—that he did not know but that the boys and girls sit together, as they did when he attended school many, many years ago.

THE Journal learns that the St. Agnes Hall possibly may be purchased for a Catholic school. It is a beautiful piece of prtperty, and certainly should not be allowed to go to wreck iu the future, as it has been in the recent past. We know of no more beautiful location for a school than this city and piece of property under consideration. We hope, therefore, that jt will be purchased by some one aud be devoted to educational purposes, for which it is so well fitted by situation and improvement.

THE facetious city editor of the Fort Wayne Sentinel, in his really interesting "answers to correspondents" column, says:

M. H.—No the Antony spoken of as being spoony on Cleopatra was not Susan B. Anthony. The latter is a woman, and had attained a green, old age at the time when Cleopatra was in her prime. "Aunt Susan" would doubtless take pure delight, and esteem it a delightful privilege, to invert and caress the rear elevation, our friend Keernan, with a hand saw.

WASHINGTON, April 13.—The Clayton Investigating Committee still drags its slow length along, with no prospect of report during the present session of Congress. The grave accusations against the Senator will probably be forgotten before another session.

Hon. Montgomery Blair, having been invited to represent in part the District of Columbia in the Cincinnati Convention, has addressed a letter to the editor of the Washington Transcript, iu which he says there are two objections to his becoming a delegate: 1st. He is not a citizen of the District of Columbia. 2d. He may be a member of the Democratic Convention, but that he will support the nominees of the Cincinnati Convention without regard to the individuals nominated. He considers that the Reform movemeut to be inaugurated, can only be advanced by the Reform wing of the Republican party. He states that he will support the movemeut earnestly, although it must be iu the hands of Repulicans exclusively, with no expectation of advantage to himself or friends, save what will be shared by the whole country in being freed from a wholly irresponsible government.

NEW YORK, April 13.—The Tribune's special from Washington says: Efforts have been made to-day to heal the breach in the Ways and Means Committee, and it is understood to-night that harmony has been so far restored that Mr. Dawes will report the tariff and tax reduction bill, but with a protest against some of its features, and will notify the House of his intention to oppose them. It is stated he has prepared amendments which he will offer to portions of the bill most objectionable to him. It is now stated that the first break in the Committee occurred on the test question of reporting the reduction on tax in a separate bill, and before the tariff bill.

NEW YORK, April 13.—Yesterday evening a number of boys were playing on Tompkins' Square, when one of them, Peter Donahue, playfully exhibited a loaded pistol, which he brandished about, when it suddenly went off", the ball entering the throat of a playmate, Thos. Kerwin, severing his windpipe, and killing him instantly.

NEW YORK, April 13.—The Herald reviews the auti-Grant meeting last night sarcastically, styling it an assemblage of sorehead Republicans. The Sun considers it a grand success, and if the country responds heartily, Grant will take his final departure from the White House on the fourth of March next.

The Tribune is of the same opinion, and says that if the Cincinnati Convention be as harmonious and as wise, it will name the next President.

The Times terms the meeting an elaborate, political manoeuvre and the resolutions emphatic, but indirect aud illogical.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, April 13.—Very high winds have prevailed here for the last three days, occasioning much inconvenience, and some detention in crossing the ferry. The river is rising slowly.

The Union Pacific trains were behind time yesterday, on account of another severe snow and wind storm in the Black Hills last night. The track is clear today, however.

Since the partial settlement of the transfer difficulty, travel and freight on all the westward fcound roads have largely increased, and the bridge begins to show its usefulness.

CHICAGO, April 13.—The contract for the construction of the Canadian & North Shore Railroad, from Montreal to Quebec, has been let to Messrs. Perry fa. Smith, George L. Dunlap and S. L. Kuth, prominent railroad men of this city. Its estimated cost is at $7,000,000.

Several very bold robberies have taken place lately on the streets. Yesterday an old lady was coming out of a store, with a pocket-book in her band, when a thief snatched the wallet and ran. A clerk pursued, but was intercepted by a con federate, with a pistol in his hand, and told to stop. He did so, and the thief escaped.

The Carlinsville Democrat says Gov ernor Palmer authorizes u& to say he will uo longer be a caudidate for Governor before the Republican State Convention.

ELGIN, ILLS., April 13.—Allen Root, of Ithaca, N. Y., was murdered after getting off the midnight train last night, in this city. He was on his way to visit his relations and buy a farm. Three thousand dollars in drafts, a watch and $5.00, was found on his person this morning, at the coroner's inquest.

LOUISVILLE, April 13.—Therewas considerable excitement at the Gait House night before last. Peter Fox, a prominent lawyer of this city, assaulted with a cow hide a Mr. Waidmau Otis, of Cleveland, Ohio, making things lively for a few minutes. The rumor whispers a lady in case, but the cause can not be ascertained with any correctness.

NEW ORLEANS, April 13.—-The Colored National Convention met at noon, with Yice President

TERRE HAUTE, IND.: SATURDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 13. 1872.

After prayer and the reading and approval of yesterday's minutes, Fred. Douglass, the permanent President, was introduced t3 the assemblage and met with very furious and repeated applause.

After thanking the Convention for the honor conferred upon him, he entered on a lengthy discourse, which is still in progres.0, giving a complete history of slavery in the Uuited States, from its foundation to the days of emancipation. Cheer after cheer greets him, an immense assemblage, irrespective of race, color aud politics, are eagerly listening to him.

NEW ORLEANS, April 13.—The grand inaugural day at the Louisiana Jockey Club promises to be. very successful. Two races are announced for this evening, the first a two-mile hurdle, and the second two-mile heats. Weather clear and warm.

THE LIBERAL REPUBLICAN MOVEMEAT.

Michigan Wheels into Line—Immense Meeting in New York City. DETROIT, April 12.—A paper is being circulated in this State accepting the invitation of the Liberal Republicans of Missouri-to be represented in the Cincinnati Convention, and has already been sigued by quite large number of prominent Republicans. Among those in Detroit are the well known names of Duncan Stewart, D. C. Holbroke, Charles Endicott, Willard Parker and J. James. A number of prominent Germans are among the signers, such as Frederick Bacher, E. D. Tildner, Otto Starck, Julius Melchis and August Manxhousen. Much favor is claimed for the movement in all parts of the State, and it is expected the result will be a formidable organization of elements of opposition to Grant.

NEW YORK, April 12.—The great meeting held here to-night to advocate the Liberal Republican policy of the approaching Cincinnati Convention, was one of the largest in numbers and in composition ever held in this city. An hour before the commencement of the meeting Cooper Institute was thronged aud thousands clamored in vaiu for admission, and failing to find it, remained for hours outside. Every seat was occupied and the aisles from the platform up were densely crowded. The audience was eminently respectable, and a representative one. The platform was literally packed with men prominent in the political and social circles of New York. Among them were Horace Greeley, Siuolair Tousey, Moses H. Grinnell, Hiram Barney, Marshall O. Roberts, George Wilkes, Frauk Leslie, John A. Dix and a large number of other prominent men.

About 7:30 the densely crowded audience began to manifest some impatience to witness an opening of the proceedings. To meet this demand the list of Republican officers who had signed the call for the* Cincinnati Convention was read. The names of many of them were received with loud cheers.

The meeting was then called to order by Hon. Ethan Allen, who said: Fellow citizens: As one of the committee who signed the call for this immense mass meeting in the interest of a political party and reform, I have the honor to nominate as your presiding officer Col. Frederick A. Conkling.

The nomination was enthusiastically endorsed. Col. Conkling, on coming forward was greeted with hearty cheers. He said:

Fellow Republicans: We are honored by the presence here to-night of two of the most distinguished statesmen of the Republic—[great applause]—one of them born in New England the other cradled on the Rhine—[cheers]—both representatives of the imperial West, which in coming time is to control the destinies of our common country—Lyman Trumbull, and Carl Schurz, of Missouri. [Prolonged cheeriug.] It is hardly necessary for me to say that throughout the length and breadth of the land thfe names of both are associated with the defense of constitutional liberty and the rights of local self-government within the restriction of the delegated powers, aud with a firm and unfaltering advocacy of the rights of the masses. [Applause.]

In the view of the near approach of tfce Presidential election, they have consented to leave their places in the Senate of the Uuited States for the purpose of addressing us, not upon the dead issues of the past, but upon the living issues of the hour. [Applause.] Thanking you for the honor of being selected to preside over this vast assembly I await the further pleasure of the meeting.

A list of Vice Presidents and Secretaries was read and elected. Among the former are Horace Greeley, 8. Tousey, Michael Doherty, Isaac Sherman, Waldo Hutchins, Moses H. Grinnell, Hiram Barney, Charles A. Danna, E. L. Godkin, Parke Goodwin, Marshall O'Roberts, George W. Palmer, Richard M. Blatchford, John K. Potter, George Wilkes, Samuel Sinclair, Rufus F. Andrews, Mirthorne Tomkins, John A. Dix, Ely Squier and Alfred Pell.

The following declaration of principles was read and endorsed with tremendous cheers:

We believe that the political action of individuals aud conventions should be left free from patronage and that business men should not under the fear of unjust official interference with their affairs be compelled to pay tribute for political purposes. We believe that the public officers are or should be made for the public convenience aud not as a reward for partisan services, nor for personal aggrandizement, and that the acts of officials should be confined within the strict letter of the laws creating such officials.

We believe that the triumph of-Repub-lican principles is of paramount importance to the country, and that the success of those privileges in the approaching national election does not depend on any one individual. We believe that the prosperity of the country demands a thoroughly radical and immediate reform all departments of public service civil, military and naval, and that the one term priuciple for the Presidential office will conduce more to that end than any other measure.

About 7:45 o'clock Messrs. Schurz and Trumbull arrived, and were received in the most enthusiastic haanner. At 8 o'clock Frederick A.Conkling, the President, briefly introduced Trumbull, who spoke as follows:

Fellow-citizens: It is now nearly sixteen. years since I had the pleasure of addressing an audience in the city.of New York. We were then just entering upon what is known as the

Freemont

cam

paign. The question then before the couutry was whether slavery should be spread into the free Territories of the United States. Many of the people thought that the Government of the United States was then controlled by the slave-holding power, was oppressive aud unjust, and a party was then organized which did notsucceed in that election, but whose seed was then scattered which bore the fruit in 1860, in the election of Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency of the United States! The slaveholding power, in its folly, refused to submit to an administration which should be governed by the friends of freedom, though it was well understood there was no intention on the part of the Republican party, and no constitutional right, to interfere with slavery in the States where it existed, but the slaveholding power, unwilling to retain slavery where it was, undertook to dismember the Union and set up a Government in one-half of it which should rest upon slavery as its corner stone.

Then followed the great war, carried on for the purpose of the maintenance of the Union, and slavery went down, never more to rise forever. (Cheers.) In that great struggle many a patriot fell, and many more were seen among us bearing on their persons the wounds they received in freedom's cause, and a grateful country will ever cherish the memory of the heroes who fell and provide pensions for their widows and orphans who remain among us.

The war closed. The armies were disbanded, and slavery forever prohibited by Constitutional amendment. Then the equal rights of all were established throughout the land. Provisions was made for the debt incurred by the maintenance of the Union, and that payment of the bounties aud pensions of the soldiers should be forever sacred, and that the debt of the rebels and payment for their slaves should never be made. Since then provisiou has been made by which the debt incurred is iu the gradual course of extinction. To-day all the States are restored to their former relations in the Union aud what now is there to disturb the happiness and peace of this people There are several causes for the dissatisfaction of the people, which, I can ouly briefly allude to upon the present occasion, and shall not touch upon many of which ought to be discussed at leugth, but one cause of complaint,which produces alienation in the late insurrectionary States, and keeps alive the hates and animosities engendered by war, is the continuance of political disabilities after the occasion for them lias passed away. In consequence of this continuance the governments of the late insurrectionary States, have fallen into the hands of inexperienced, and in many instances of corrupt adventurers, who have plundered the people of these States scarcely less than you in the city of NewYork have been plundered by your former city government. [Applause.] Why are these disabilities continued Why are they not removed and all the people enfranchised? I think there are two causes, and two alone, which prevent it. One is mercenary and the other political. [Applause.] The mercenary is so that these adventurerers'can exclude from office in these States the former leading meu of large experience and capacity,and although they were traitors during the war, they were not thieves nor plunderers. (Loud cheering.) Their exclusion has thrown these governments into the hands of men w&o have used their power to plunder the people over whom they rule, and the debts of the Southern States have been swollen in some instances twenty fold from what they were before the war began, and they don't even havo what you had in the city of New York to show for the money expended. Another reason for continuing these special disabilities is, as I said, of a partisan character. The men in authority use political disabilities as so much capital upon which to trade. To illustrate what I mean, I will refer to what took place in the State of Georgia a few years ago, when a man named Bullock was Governor. When the Legislature of that State was about to be organized, it was understood that certain persons had been elected who were laboring under political disabilities. They were given to understand that those of them who would sustain the Governor could have their political disabilities rempved, aud otiose who would not, would not be permitted to take their seats in the Legislature, and the result was that political disabilities were removed from such as acted with the Governor and others were excluded, and he had the control ofthat Legislature,andsucsucceeded in putting upon the State debt, the discovery of which has caused him to flee the State toescape the punishment which would have followed the frauds he committed. So it is with members of Congress elected from these Southern States. They promised to remove the political disabilities from their adherents, and they are always ready to do it where they can gain favor. [Three cheers were here heartily given for Horace Greeley, who wap espied on the platform.]

Senator Trumbull—I am glad to hear such cheers here in honor of the first champion, I believe, in the country, and he proclaimed it boldly, of universal amnesty.—[Renewed cheers.] One great measure then which is demanded in the name of honesty in the name of peace and the best interests of all, is the passage of a general amnesty bill removing political disabilities. [Great cheering.]

Another cause of complaint among the people is the one in which the patronage of this Government is used, as if it was not so much money to carry elections, not in the interest of party even. It does not rise to that high dignity, bujt in the interpst of a fraction of a party. [Great applause.] It is notorious, you all know it in the city of New York, for it has recently been disclosed by an investigating committee which sat in this city, that your custom house is here filled with men who, instead of having received their appointment in consequence of their fidelity, of their ability, and of their capacity to discharge the duties of their offices for the best interest of the country, but are appointed because of the influence it is supposed they can exert at some primary election or State convention, or in teaching you, the people, whom to vote for at the polls. [Laughter.] This civil service system of ours is the parent of many, very many evils, I cannot stop to night to point out. The officers in* many localities are taxed a portion of their salaries for party purposes, and if they do not perform the political duty required of them, they very soon are removed and others substituted who will be more active in politics.

"The Fool, and his Money are soon Parted." A man named Johnson, from Marshall, Ills., was victimized out of $350 by the three-card-monte trick, on board one of the Vandalia trains, on Friday last. The gamblers, three in number, jumped the train before reaching this city, when Johnson communicated his loss to Sheriff Sherrill. Of course, the birds had flown, and that officer could only promise to do his best towards arresting them. Johnson was on his way home from Ohio, and intended making a payment on his home in Illinois, with the money he lost. He appeared to be totally disheartened by his

misfortune.
