THE Hon. John Schofield, of Marshall, the Daniel Webster of the Northwestern bar, was in the city last afternoon.

THE Centenary and Asbury Union Sunday schools will probably yet have a splendid day for their picnic at Groendyke's Grove.

FIFTEEN coaches have been chartered of the E., T. H. & C. R. R. to convey the Centenary and Asbury picnicers to Groendyke's Grove to-morrow.

THE Rev. James W. Greene officiated at the nuptial ceremonies of Miss Alice McCullough and Mr. Benjamin F. Frew, at the residence of W. R. Hunter, Esq., last evening. All of this city.

THE gallant policemen are still on the war-path against the houses of ill-fame.— Journal.

But it seems that the establishment of that reputed character, corner of Second and Walnut, is not in the war path!

W. S. RYCE, Esq., of the Buckeye Cash Store, returned from New York, this morning, and the numerous patrons of the establishment of which he is the proprietor, may reasonably expect some elegaut summer goods. Keep your eyes on the Buckeye.

THE Journal saya that the Hon. William Mack considers it an insult to ask a Democrat to vote for Horace Greeley. The Hon. William Mack wants to be a Democratic candidate for Congressman-at-Large for the State of Indiana iu the pending canvass!

THE GAZETTE and Mail are the only newspapers in this city printed by steam. The presses of the Express, Journal and Banner, are operated by baud, and yet it don't take them long to work off each issue of the great agitators! Quick work and small subscription lists.

HON. DANIEL W. VOORHEES, the Tall Sycamore, or Sagamore, (we area little mixed as to whether he is a Sycamore or a Sagamore) was in the city last night, spreading disatisfaction among the repentant Democrats who are almost persuaded to become Christians, and sowing discord by the bushel.—Ind. Eve, Journal, 1 Hth imt.

A PROMINENT Democratic politician of Greenca-stle,Asserts that all the delegates from Putuam county to the State Democratic Convention at Indianapolis, ate playing possum and favor Greeley and Gratz as being the most available and likely to be elected of any ticket to be suggested.

D. N. FOSTER, ESQ., of the New York City Store, who has been absent since Tuesday in pursuit of a ruuaway man of whom he desired "personal explanation" and that little bill, returned last evening. The man was found during his absence and Mr. Wallace Paine, his head clerk, took him in charge until Mr. F's return.

THE Journal of this morning triumphantly asserts: With about four or five unimportant exceptions the Democrats of this city heartily endorse the position of Mr. Voorhees against Greeley.

The very brains of the Democratic party of this community denounce MrVoorhees for his injudicious and illtimed howl.

WE cannot but think that Mr. Voorhees' speech on the floor of the House on Monday was premature, gratuitous and in bad taste. In the first place, it set a bad example in taking advantage of the flimsy pretext of a "personal explanation" for introducing partisan politics into a place which should be devoted to making laws, removing abuses and originating measures for the public good.— Fort Wayne Sentinel(Dem.)

DR. E. B. THOMAS, President of the North & South Railroad, was in the city Saturday. He reports his visit to Europe to negotiate the bonds of the road entirely successful.—Ind. Sentinel.

Mr. Thomas was in Brazil on Monday and said that the iron on this division of the road would be down within thirty days. Our readers will be glad to hear this.—Brazil Miner.

THE Dan Voorhees kind of Democrats don't believe in a Democratic party that can win all over the country. They want to succed in particular Congressional Districts.—Illinois State Register.

Again Mistaken.

Editor of Terre Haute Gazette: The Journal, this morning, as is usually the case, is again mistaken. I did not attempt to "demolish" Mr. Voorhees. He dug his own political grave when he let his tongue run away with what little political sagacity he was heretofore supposed to possess. This the future will reveal to the rather obtuse Journal editor. And further, I would advise the editor of the Journal not to wager too "largely" that I am seeking an office, and am too "lazy to make a livelihood by honest industry." I would never seek an office, and would hesitate to accept one were it offered to me. I have made an honest livelihood from a very early age by hard and constant toil, and I think I derive more comfort by thus doing than were I to barter my independence and manliness for the "honor" of holding an office for a brief time, as some do. Now in conclusion, let me assure the Journal man that his attempt to sneer down those opposed to his Bourbon policy will certainly fail. DEMOCRAT.

Grant's Democratic Retainer. Daniel W. Voorhees was appointed a member of the Robeson Investigating Committee. The committee met on March 21. Mr. Voorhees was not present. On March 26 the committee held their second meeting. Mr. Voorhees was absent. On March 25 he had informed the committee that he would formally decline serving as a member in order to enable the Speaker to appoint a man in his place. He did not formally decline until March 28, over two weeks after his appointment. Meanwhile the committee had held two meetings, and Secretary Robeson was making every effort to obtain from his accusers the names of the witnesses against him. Mr. Voorhees apparently did not wish to hurt Gen. Grant's Secretary of the Navy.

Mr. Voorhees was also appointed on the New Orleans Investigating Committee. He did not go to New Orleans. He decliued to serve, saying that he had important business to attend to in Indiana. He has not been out of Washington a day since the beginning of the Robeson investigation. It would seem that Mr. Voorhees did not wish to hurt Gen. Grant's brother-in-law Casey.

Yesterday Mr. Voorhees read au extract from Grant's organ in Washington, and rose to a personal explanation in the House. He made a carefully prepared speech against Horace Greeley, saying that he preferred Grant to Greeley for President. Mr. Voorhees' colleagues indignantly repudiated his sentiments, and Robert B. Roosevelt declared that Mr. Voorhees had recently had an interview with Gen. Grant. Mr. Voohees answered that he had not crossed the threshold of the White House for three, years. This assertion, it will be seen, does not meet Mr. Roosevelt's charge. That Mr. Voorhees' colleagues did not regard it as a denial is shown by the fact that on the conclusion of Voorhees' speech several Democratic members shouted, "Now go to the White House and get your pay."

We learn from a trustworthy source that Mr. Voorhees did have an interview with the President, and that on Saturday he entreated a newspaper reporter not to telegraph the fact to the people.—N. Y. Sun.

A Tall Sycamore Shaken by the Wind. Mr. Voorhees' diatribe against Greeley is not received with much favor by the Democratic press and public. Some of his warmest friends here condemn him strongly and affirm that he has made a "conspicuous ass" of himself, a not unusual thing for him to do. The spectacle of Ben Butler congratulating him upon his support of the Administration is disgusting to most of them, and ought to be to him, for you can set it down as pretty safe doctrine that when such a fellow as Butler is in favor of anything every honest man ought to be against it. Mr. Voorhees is angry because Mr. Greeley has been nominated. He can see no reason why the Democrats should support him, nay he tliiuks they should rather support General Grant, for he is a Democrat by instinct and education, and uutil he was nominated for President never professed to be auy thing else. Mr. Voorhees could have supported Judge Davis, or almost any other candidate beiore the Cincinnati Convention, but as for Mr. Greeley— ugh his soul fills with bitter disgust at the idea. What consistency is there in this? Why is one Republican less obnoxious than another to Mr. Voorhees, when they have all advocated the same measures and held the same views? We don't know, nor do we believe Mr. Voorhees' illogical mind will ever be able to tell.

Such a course, however, was to be expected from the man. He is a showy, shallow, demagogue, with a superficial brilliancy that carries well with the masses. He is by no means far-seeing, and as a political leader is utterly unsafe, while as a legislator he is almost as great a failure as Colfax. We have at different times given our opinion of him, which was only formed after a watchful consideration of his life and

.Pub

lic actions. What that opinion is, most readers of the Net cs know, and for one, we are not sorry that he has made this speech, for it may lead to his retirement from public life, a thing to be wished for. In consorting with Ben Butler he has found his political lev«l, and iu such association will have an ample opportunity of confirming himself in the opinion expressed in his "classical" oratious, that the degraded, sensual Greeks and Romans were so much superior in morality, education and other elenjeuts of civilization to the American people.

PARIS, May 17.—M. Thiers and Herr Von Arndin breakfasted together yesterday, and discussed the question of the evacuation of France by the Germans. It was finally agreed that Thiers should instruct an ambassador to proceed to Berlin and arrange with Bismarck for the speedy evacuation of all the departments.

The murderers have been sent to France for trial.

NEW YORK, May 17.—The World this moruiug says: The expectation that the Democratic party will nominate Horace Greeley for President is too ridculous, that even Charles Sumner would be less objectionable. It thinks the chief and and convincing reason why the Democratic party cannot nominate Greeley is, that of all public men in the country, with any kind of pretensions to the Presidency, he is the farthest from representing its principles. The article continues at length in a.similar strain, and concludes by saying that the nomination of Greeley by the Democratic parly is a moral, political, social and economical impossibility.

NEW YORK, May 17.—A- disturbance to6K place to-day, in the gas works, between the Irish and German laborers. The Irish, this morning, wanted to strike for eight hours. The Germans would not join.

Foreign Committee, to-day, continued the discussion of the supplemental treaty, but adjourned without arriving at any conclusions. The general sentiment appears to be that the treaty will be adopted by the Senate, although it will meet with a bitter opposition from several Administration Senators, including Carpenter and Edmunds.

Several Democrats have signified their intention of voting in favor of its passage.

In the Senate, the House concurrent resolution to adjourn sine die on June 3d was referred to the Committee on Finance.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 17.—There has been a great and unprecedented decline in mining stocks. The aggregate descriptions in twelve of the leading companies exceeds fifty millions. The greatest decline has been on smaller priced descriptions.

WASHINGTON, May 13.—It was generally understood yesterday from Administration sources that Dan Voorhees would pitch into Greeley and the Liberal Republicans generally, to-day, during the morning hour, by the way of personal explanation. It puzzled people to see how the champion of spread-eagle ora--tory would have an opportunity to do this, inasmuch as the only instance in which he has been quoted either for or against the Cincinnati ticket was when, he gave to the Associated Press Agent here a copy of a telegram which he had sent to some obscure rural editor in Indiana, and as he in that professed to await the action of the National Democratic Convention before expressing his views, it was certainly difficult to understand how or when he had been misrepresented unless by himself. But today's issue of the local Administration organ supplied him with the text which everybody was wondering where he would find. The following from the organ was certainly opportune for Mr. Voorhees, and very luckily fitted his carefully-prepared speech: DID VOOHEES HIMSELF INSPIRE. THIS

ARTICLE?

"Various rumors in regard to the poHfical attitude of the Hon. D. W. Voorhees are greatly exercising the unterrified Democracy of Indiana whose chief spokesman he has long been. It is said that he was willing so far to waive his strict party allegiance as to accept Judge Davis at the hands of the Cincinnati Convention, bad they presented him, but as to Greeley he halts and hesitates. His Democratic colleagues are all said to favor Greeley, and Mr. Voorhees is likely to lose favor in the district where his voice has long been so potential."

This must also have served as an announcement to the Administration people that a Daniel had really come to judgment, for the lobbies and cloak rooms were crowded at au early hour with Grant men, who by their uneasiness showed plainly that they expected something. They were not dissappointed. Daniel opened his mouth and spake, and great are the laudations of the Grantites. —N. Y. Sun.

Liberal Reform in New England. The first gun in the Presidential campaign has been fired in Connecticut, and, at its sound, that old State, which has been the battle-ground of so many fierce-ly-Gontested struggles, wheels into line for Liberal Republicanism, and heads the column. The electiou of Mr. Ferry to the United States Senate over Mr. Hawley, the Administration candidate, is already accepted by the office-holders at Washington as synonymous with the loss of the State in November. But it carries with it deeper meaning-than this, and its influence will radiate far beyoud State lines. It will close up the ranks solidly and compactly in tfie weakest

art of the Liberal Republican column, breaks up party absolutism in New England. It will set the voters in every New England State to thinking and reasoning and the moment they begin thinking and reasoning, and see that it is possible to act independently without losing Republican caste, that moment the tie of servitude which has hitherto bound the voters to the office-holders becomes a rope of sand, ana falls to pieces. New England, which is radical in most other things, is conservative in politics, and closely bound together in its political affinities.

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.

Yoorhees Down for Another Personal Explanation. WASHINGTON, May 15.—It is said that Voorhees intends to make another personal explanation about his political views. He explained too much on Monday, and left the impression on the minds of nearly all who heard him, and of his Democratic fellow members in particular, that he had entered into a contract with the Administration to create a split in the Democratic party, in case- the Baltimore Canvention should endorse Greeley. Iu his excitement he went further, it is supposed, than he intended, and it is understood that he desires to protest against the construction his colleagues and the newspapers put upon his extraordinary harangue, and will declare that he was actuated by no love of Grant, but only by devotion to the Democratic party. Many of Voorhees' friends say that the mischief he did him-, self by his Monday speech cannot be remedied by any subsequent explanation or protestation, and that in that speech he preached, unconsciously, his own funeral sermon as a Democratic politician. It was remarked to-day by Democratic Representatives from an Eastern State, that Voorhees' speech had caused a number of members to declare themselves for Greeley who had before been non-committal, or had opposed his nomination at Baltimore, and that there were not a dozen men upon the Democratic side of the House who endorsed Voorhees' position.

THE following proclamation has been issued by the men on board the sinking ship at Washington:

OFFICE OF INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE, "L JOHNSTOWN, PA, May 8,1872. Hon. W. E. Chandler, Washington, D.

DEAR SIR: The Industrial League will not support Mr. Greeley. Yours, CYRUS ELDER, Secretary.

There may be some curiosity to know what is the "Industrial League" which officially announces that it will not support Mr. Greeley. It consists of a combination of iron and steel manufacturers in Pennsylvania, who have purchased certain English patents for making Bessemer steel, and who, under the protection of Congress, have a charter to collect taxes from the American people. These men have money, and they are able to control a good many votes in both branches of Congress but they cannot poll, all told, as many votes as will be given by the hod-carriers in Chicago. There is not a blacksmith in the Western States, and their number is many thousands, who will not vote for Horace, if for no other reason than that he is opposed by the great iron despotism of Pennsylvania.

Chicago and the South.

The number of railroads making Chicago their principal terminus is increasing so rapidly that very few of our citizens keep pace with them. We notice this morning a dispatch announcing the absorption by the Chicago, Danville & Vincennes Railroad Company of the Attica & Terre Haute Railroad, which reminds us that a brief mention of the former company will be news to most of our readers. The road has been opened to Chicago but a few months and yet, we judge from its route and connections, is destined to become one of the great and popular routes from Chicago to the South, drawing hither an immense amount of business and offering a quick and desirable means of travel to the warmer latitudes. The road now runs to Danville in this State, 128 miles nearly south of Chicago and near the Indiana line.

From Danville to Terre Haute via the Evansville, Terre Haute & Chicago Railroad is 55 miles, and from Terre Haute to Evansville via Vincennes, over the Evansville & Crawfordsville Railroad, is 109 miles, making a total of 292 miles from Chicago to the Ohio river, opposite Evansville, which is nearly due south from Chicago, and Henderson, in Kentucky, and thence to Nashville is 158 miles by the Evansville, Henderson & Nashville road. From these lines radiate others to the principal points in the South. The distance from Chicago to Nashville, therefore, is 450 miles, and the line runs due south, so that the Southern regions are opened to us very directly and easily by this new road and its connections. Our readers who see the ca^s of the Chicago, Danville & Vincennes Railroad rolling into this city will now know if they did not before, whence they come, and what a splendid region they open to Chicago enterprise.— Chicago Evening Mail.

THE New York World and the Chicago Times stand in an isolated and insignificant minority in their former party, over two hundred journals heretofore Democratic having declared for Greeley and Brown. But these two journals are spending their strength in dividing the Democratic party upon the question of supporting Greeley. The St. Louis Republican wisely remarks that, if the Baltimore Convention is to nominate candidates in opposition to Greeley and Brown, it might better nominate Grant at once, for the effect will be the same.

THE extraordinary lunatic, George Francis Train, tells one good story on Greeley as followsj There was an old farmer who had taken the Tribune for thirty years, rode twenty miles on horseback to hear him lecture. "What do you think of him?" asked a neighbor. "Wal, I don't think much of him as a speaker, but he would make a damned good singer."

AMONG prominent Democrats who are now openly quoted as warmly in favor of the nomination of Greeley and Brown, are General John C. Breckinridge, of Kentucky General Richard Taylor, of Louisiana, aud Duncan Kenner, of Louisiana. It is understood in Baltimore, also, that the Hon. Reverdy Johnson expresses himself on the same side.

THE Terre Haute Journal, a rural Indiana paper, talks about "transferring the Democratic musses."—Courier-Jour-nal.

To transfer Col. Edmunds would be an easy job, but to move Mr. Jordan would be a bigger task than three men would like to undertake.— Vincennes Sun.

HORACE GREELEY, in his "Essay on Farming," says that the only way to effectually destroy "widow's weeds," which seem to thrive in some kinds of soil, is, for the husbandman. to say, "Wilt thou?". They generally wilt.
