TUESDAY. MAY 28. 1872.

THE Rmiioal doctors are fearfully exorpi"pd over the riisa fire Hon existing in the "Republican party, and the certainty that the Democratic Convention at Baltimore will indorse the Liberal Republican platform and nominees, which will carry the country by storm against the infamous and corrupt administration of Grant. They are moving heaven and earth to coneoot Home counter irritant to stay the storm that threatens to sweep them from power. Corruption funds are being rrii^fd to influence the Baltimore Con

vention.

Washington, New York and

Philadelphia political bummers and cheap jurbon politicians are to be sent to Baltimore to create a sentiment airwinst Greeley and force a regular Democratic nomination. To assist in this nefarious scheme, they have the services of Belmont as manager aud Vonrhees as blower. Unless the Democracy are on their gunrd, they will be Huain *old out, as they were at the NewYork

Convention, by Belmont & Co., in 1SIJS. There has also been a job set up to organize mi opposition Liberal movement, with Davis or Adams at the head of the ticket, and a great deal of work has been secretly done to get Democratic Congressmen to commit themselves to this movement. But, so far, this plot has utterly failed, as will the Belmont-Voor-hees-Grant conspiracy at Baltimore, if the Democracy are true to themselves and the best intere^tsof the country. Mr. Voorhees' late harrassing to the Democracy is received with derisiou and contempt by the great majority of that party, and his shameful sale to the Grantiles, has consigned him forever to a disgraceful political tomb and such will be the fate of all those who are willing to

sell

them lelvos for a mess of potage, or who throueh prejudice, or malice, oppose the only movement that can depose the present corrupt Administration from power.

IT is ordained that mankind have a natural "haukerin" for the fair sex, and actuated by said "haukerin," and enticed by the bewi'chingsmileof a "sweet six teener,," we arrayed ourselves in gorgeous apparel—our everyday suit by the way—and sought the haunts of the beautiful fairy. AVe found her sitting beside a stack of carpet rags busily relating little events which had transpired of late, to her grandmother. She was somewhat startled by our abrupt entry, but became re-assured upon onr indulging in one of our most fascinating bows, and lifting our tile with Chesterfieldiangrace. We sat down beside her her musical voice was enchanting we listened to the silvery tones of the beauty, wondering all the while whether we were ever destined to possess such a treasure. Being confident that "fivint heart never won fair lady," we proceeded to express our desire to love, cherish and protect, in a manner not excelled even by the eloquence of George Francis Train. She listened attentively to our appeal, and we leaned toward her with eager ears to catch the joyous utterances which we supposed would make us forever happy. Presently the stillness was broken aud she whispered, faintly—"You hush up." Wedryed. The old lady hove a sigh, brought forth her bandanna and "wiped her weeping eyes."

'Moss Bank.

DANVILI.K, III., May 26,1872.

Editor of Terre Haute Gazette: I am often asked when away from the city about "Moss Bank," where from the city it is, what it is, and from whence it derived its DMUN*? Mo?s Bank is an interesting place, and now I will try aud interest your many leuders about it: It is located oue aud a half miles northwest of the city, oil the south bank of the the n«irth fork of Vermillion river. It is not a town, dear reader, but a bank of petrified moss. About oile huudred feet high from the base of the rivfr com 'Moss Bank," and from its Ijase

about fifteen feet bigh, the cold water is continually pouring over an embankment of, and continually forming petrified moss. Some parts of the moss is course and porous, while other parts seem in appearance almost like green velvet. At the base of the bank is a plank walk where all can pass dryfooted, and if prepared with an ax or hatchet can cut from the bank a chunk of nature's formation. In Judge Rhoads' cabinet at Newport can be seeB a

Kank

iece of moss that was taken from this two years ago. At the west end of the bank where you commence to descend, is a sparkling spring of cold water sufficient for all who may or will come and partake of the water of life, and without money or price. This of course is "Moss Bank Spring." The table land just above the spring is a beautifully shaded grassy spot, the resort of pleasure seekers and pic-nic parties. Just south one hundred yards is the line of that ereat thoroughfare, the Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western Railway just pouth of its line commences Moss Bank Park, surely a very pretty name for a city park. The park contaius eighty acres. Forty acres is covered with fullgrown sugar trees, makinga dense shade, and is laid off in nicely graded drives, in rcles, triangles, obtuse angles and cones. The other forty acres is a beautiful green field with a trotting course, and the Vermillion County Base Ball Club grounds in the center. With the rugged hills, the rippling river, the green growing fields, the distant landscape, and the dark entrances to the Moss Bank Coal Company's mines, such is "Moss Bank" and its surroundings.

Yours, RI.NA.LDO.

Sheriff Jones, of New Albany, was shot and badly wounded by a desperado named Maddox, for whoee arrest he bad a warrant on a charge of murder. The murder had been committed by Maddox in 1863. Sheriff Jonea learned that the des-

a posse and went up to secure him. On Friday morning about 4 o'clock the officers reached the house where they found Maddox and his sons ready and armed. A melee ensued, Jones' arm was shattered by a musket ball and the officers retreated. Jones was taken back to NewAlbany and his arm was amputated. The miscreants have not yet been captured.

Mr. Greeley's Accepfaneo. Mr. Greeley's admirable letter of acceptance bespeaks the statesman. It is humane, yet vigorous aggressive against existing evils, but healing as to all the irremediably past. We do not expect all Americans to be ready for such a candidate or platform, but we feel a sincere compassion for the man in whose breast Mr. Greeley's words of kindly and fraternal patriotism kindle no responsive glow. Every utterance in this letter falls as naturally as rain from the clouds of suiumer from one whose creed is that life belongs to

The cause that lacts assistance, The wrong that needs resistance, The future in the distance.

And the good that I can do.

There are those who will attribute Mr. Greeley's letter to the skill of a practised writer,* as if there could be any skill in writing that is not the expression of skill or soundness in thinking, feeling, and acting. It is only under the influence of such broad and humane views of the equal right of all classes of the American people to political justice, kindcess, and recognition, that mutual amnesty can be proclaimed between the South and North. Mr. Greeley's declaration concerning the tariff, leaves nothing more to be asked for by the Revenue-Reformers, nor by any fair-minded Protectionist. He will make no distinction, even in his appointments, between those who favor and those who oppose revenue reform. Nor will he seek, by Executive dictation in messages, nor by vetoes, to interfere with such legislation as the people may arrive at through their Representatives in Congress. Perhaps the most effective sentences in Mr. Greeley's letter are those in which he rebukes the mob tendencies of political parties to become agents of corruption, by adhering to an organization long after the objects for which it was formed have been either accomplished or abandoned. He says:

In vain to the drill sergeants of decaying organizations flourish menacingly their truncheons, and angrily insist that the files shall be closed and straightened. In vain do the whippers-in of parties, once vital, because rooted in the vital needs of the hour, protest against straying and bolting, denounce men nowise their inferior as traitors and renegades, and threaten them with infamy and ruin. I am confident that the American people have already made your cause their own, fully resolved that their brave hearts and strong arms shall bear it on to triumph. In this faith, aud with the distinct understanding that, if elected, I shall be the President, not of a party, but «f the whole people, I accept your nomination, in the confident trust that the masses of our countrymen, North and South, are eager to clasp hands across the bloody chasm which has too long divided them, forgetting that they have been enemies in the joyful con* sciousness that they are, and must henceforth remain, brethren.

There are no nobler words than these in the writings that Washington, Clay, or

Lincoln has bequeathed to the American people. Tlrey mean fraternal reunion, perfect freedom, progress, purity and peace.— Chicago Tribune.

THE platform of the Illinois Republican Convention recapitulates all the live issues of ten years ago, and makes prominent the necessity of destroying slavery, putting down the rebellion, and keeping the enjoyment of patronage where it now is. The living issue of the tariff is remitted to Republicans in Congress, not to the people, in the election

of Congress

men and the temperance question is declared to be vexatious, and not to be meddled with by law. The office-hold-ers indorse Grant, and seud a pledged delegation to Philadelphia and, as the times are shaky, it seems to have been decided to put none but office-holders on guard. In the new State Central Committee we recognize .three Collectors of Internal Revenue, three Postmasters, a Pension Agent, a member of Congress, and at least two others fed out

public service.— Chicago Tribune,

IT is reported in the journals that, on Thursday last, in the Senate of the United States, "Mr. Morrill of Vermont offered an order that the Chair appoint a committee of two to wait on thaPresident of the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad, and ask him if he has any further communication to make to the Senate. [Great laughter on the floor and in the galleries.]"

The railroad official referred to by Mr. Morrill is Col. Thomas A. Scott. Everybody remembers the Peunsylvaniau from the rural districts who spoke thus "Mr. Speaker, if Tom Scott has no further business with this Legislature, I move that we adjourn." But it is rather unpleasant to think that the same thing has now been said iu the Senate at Washington by such a man as Mr. Morrill.

A BILL is now pending in the Senate of the United States, looking to the establishment of industrial schools for the orphans of soldiers and sailors. It is of the simplest possible form, and is confined to creating a "body politic and corporate," with power to hold property and transact the necessary business. Geu. A. E. Buruside is the leading incorporator the other names are unfamiliar. The work is an excellent one, and as it does not involve the slightest expense to the country, it ought to pass. Iudeed, the country could do no more just ar proper thing than to aid pecuniaiily an enterprise rightly guarded and conducted, which would give an houorable means of earning a livlihood to any soldier's children.

A Useful Dreamer.

The Oshkosh Northwestern gives the following as a fact: A young lady of this city, about six weeks age, lost a valuable ring, which she was unable to find, although every nook and corner was thoroughly examined, iu hopes of bringing to light the missing article, but all in vain. Time

tossed, and the ring was almost or quite when, a few nights ago, she dreamed of getting it and showing it to a friend. When mrouing dawned she went to the place where she dreamed it was, thrust her arms down into the corner where she thought she found it, and brought forth the shining treasure.

NEW YORK, May 28 —Yesterday morning a collision occurred between two trains ou the New York Central and New Jersey Central railroad crossing, at Elizabeth, New Jersey. The cause of the accident was the failure of an airbrake in the train, allowing it to run into the rear of a train which was preceding it and which was stopping at the depot. Several persons were severely injured, among them Mrs. Brown, of Colmar, Pennsylvania. The place where the accident happened is the most dangerous crossing ou the two roads.

NEW YORK, May 28.—The Committee of Seventy have submitted their report to the reform council, in which they review the work done. The committee in their report complain of the Senators at Albany, by which, during the last session of the Legislature, every measure of reform had been defeated. Their report also contains recommendations that every effort be done to elect a Governor of the State who is in sympathy with the reform movement. The committee's report has not yet been made public, but it is stated that besides recommending the election of the reform movement, it presents figures and facts showing that over a million and a half of dollars in fraudulent warrants on the city treasury had been Kigned bjz_ Aiderman Thomas Coman during the last six months of 1868^ while the Governor was temporarily absent from his office of Mayor.

It is also stated that the committee's report contains a statement showing that Coman had signed fraudulaut warrants for large amounts while occupying the Mayor's chair, after Hoffman's election as Governor. The report of the committee has made a decided sensation here. After the transaction of other business, the meeting of the committee was declared adjourned without date, subject to the call of the Chairman.

CHICAGO, May 28.—The widows and others who have held frequent meetings to denounce action of the Chicago Reljef aud Aid Society in distribution of funds contributed throughout the world, have retained two prominent attorneys at $5,000 to establish the rights of the people to the funds.
