THE Daniel Hogan referred to in our court report of Saturday, as having been fined for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, is not the Daniel Hogan, driver to Engine No. "1," who is an honest, quiet, sober and industrious man.

JCDUE MCCUNN, who had just been removed from the bench in the city of New York, on charges of malfeasance in office, which charges were proven to the satisfaction of the State Senate, died, it is said, of a broken heart. This is sad.

FUN FOK SHIPPERS.—In a few days, the "Red Line" will commence running their cars to this city, over the Logmsport & Crawfordsville Railroad. Then look out for a cut in freights. It is fun to customers, but death to fast freight lines.

THE Terre Haute Musical Institute and Stienway Piano Agency has been removed to that magnificent stone front block on Main street. Henceforth its many patrons will find it in the airy and commodious rooms over Miss M. A. Raridon's elegant millinery establishment, 182 Main street.

THE famous Manning Minstrels, whom our burnt-cork admiring readers so love to honor, will appear at Dowling Hall, on the evening of the 11th inst., and give one of their inimitable performances. See our announcement columns for names of the artists now with the company, and particulars in general.

JOHN S. DONIIAM has completed the construction of his mammoth warehouse at Corry, on the line of the Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railroad. Mr. D. fondly hopes and reasonably expects to live to see the day that a large town will have sprung up about his warehouse, and result in a great demand for his farm as buildiug lots. May it be so.

AT the lale meeting of the Army of the Tennessee, held at Madison, Wisconsin, Major John E. Simpson and Col. N. K.

J. D. NICHOLAS, managing editor, is representing the Iudianapolis Journal at the Baltimore Convention.

A prominent Terre Hautean, of the masculine gender, writes the Mail that he has been in a "bustle" a good deal of the time since he arrived there.

But then Boston is a great and fashionable place, and one must need keep even with the fashion while there, on the principle that while you are in Rome you must 4o fts the

THE Chicago Inter-Ocean favors its readers with the following lucid account of the Fourth in this city

TLKUE HAUTE, INC., July PICNICS and excursions were the order of the day here for the Fourth ol July. The largest and most important was that arranged under the auspices of the Vigo County Soldiers' Monument Association, at Graverdeen grove, on the E. T. A. and E. R. It. Senator Morton addressed a large assembly in an eloquent speech of onehalf hour's duration.

How the Associated Press can mix things when it tries. But, to say the least, tlws dispatch appears rather mixed to be to the credit of the managing editor of the Inter-Ocean, who is an Indiana man, many years managing editor of the Indianapolis Journal.

THE Democratic ward meetings will be held this evening at eight o'clock at the following places:

First Ward—At the Ninth street Engine House. Second Ward—At Reese's carpenter shop,cornerofSeventh and Walnut streets.

Third Ward—At Frank Sage's cooper shop, South Second street. Fourth Ward—At the Northern Liberty Engine House.

Fifth Ward—At Bronson's Exchange Hotel, Chestnut street. So says the Journal.

THE official Grant orgau of this municipality this morning says: It isn't any use for small-bored, singlebarrelled orators to try to draw crowds in Terre Haute.

Which is respectfully referred to the speakers who failed to draw a crowd previous to the appearance of Senator Morton and General Hunter. Let them put this choice bit of silent satire in their pipes aud smoke it. 'Tis from their organ.

Political Notes.

Goodhue county, Minnesota, boasts of three hundred Greeley Republicans. One hundred Republicans have joined the Greeley Club in Elbridge, Onondaga county, New York.

John I. Blair, the Republican candidate for Governor of New Jersey in 1868, has declared for Greeley.

A well informed gentleman, residing in New Jersey, states that the Quakers of New Jersey will support Mr. Greeley.

Danbury, Connecticut, has a Republican Greeley and Brown clnb 155 strong. In other towns the Liberal Republicans are following suit.

The Portland Argun regards "the question that Maine will go for Greeley and Brown as settled," and says it ha's information which leaves no doubt upon the point.

It has been left to the Alia California, published in Sanfrancisco, to discover the latest reason why Mr. Greeley should not be President. This is the alarming disclosure: "Mr. Greeley in the Presidential chair, a do3e of strychuine, or a Derringer, and Sic semper tyrannis, would putGratz Brown iu his place, and the Democratic victory and rehabilitation would be complete." Oh, my!

The Labor Reform party is to meet at New York on the 30th instant to decide on the propriety of replacing their Columbus ticket. Wendell Phillips is said to desire the nomination at their hands. It is possible that self-imposed leaders may yield to his eager wishes and so throw away their own votes, but not those of the masses of the party. These will follow their first nominees, Judge Davis and Governor Parker, in their support of Horace Greeley, the real champion of the American workingmen.

ANOTHER (most disreputable transaction of Ulysses S. Grant, the bribe-taker and gift-receiver, has just come to light through the Washington correspondent of the New York Sun. It seems that in I860 General A. P. Hovey, of Indiana, Grant's Minister to Peru, presented Grant, through Wm. D. Farand, a valuable carriage robe made out of an ibex skin. It was worth about $600. Of course Hovey knew Grant's character, and expected a munificent reward for the robe. Farand desired to be appointed Consul to Callao, Peru. He offered Joseph W. McCorkle $500 for introducing him to the Dents, the royal brothers-in-law. He agreed to pay Mr. Dent $2,500 if he got the place from Grant. The latter, remembering Farand's agency in the robe, gave him the appointment against the remonstrance of Secretary Fish. Such was Farand's character that the Peruvian Government at- first refused to recognize him, but General Hovey, having his own purpose to subserve, brought such influences to bear that the opposition was withdrawn, and the Consul received. In the meantime, Grant's brother-in-law having got the $2,500—which he may havedivided with Grant—did not busy himself any further in the matter, and a formidable opposition sprung up in the Senate over the confirmation. Senator Cole, of California, wanted the place for one of his friends, and violently opposed Faraud. Grant was anxious to conciliate Cole in order to get his vote in the Senate for the confirmation of his brother-in-law as Appraiser in the San Francisco Custom-house. He therefore withdrew Farand's nomination and nominated a man named Williamson, who was Cole's friend. This little arrangement of Cole's secured the fat berth for George Dent—all at the expense of the man who brought the ibex robe. The worst of it was that Dent and McCorkle, who had secured $3,000 out of Farand, did not refund it. Farand repaired to Washington, had an indignant interview with Judge Dent, who pacified him by telling him he would go for his appointment as Supervising Consular Agent on the South American coast. The President's brother-in-law, however, demanded a new fee of SI,000 as his official brokerage, which he obtained. Again there was ill luck. Mr. Boutwell, the Secretary of the Treasury, objected to the appointment on account of Farand's misconduct as Consul at Callao. So the appointment fell through and the Ibex robe gentleman was out another $1,000. Had he got the appointment, which he would from Grant if it had been his insfead of Boutwell's to give, Dent was to receive $5,000 more.

This is the plain, unvarnished tale of the way things are done under this Administration. It is only one of many chapters of a similar character that have so disgusted the country. The whole influences governing the distribution of patronage by Grant seemed to be com-

A new movement in Erie has caused no end of excitement among brokers and financiers. It is now positively stated that McHenry on his return from England, was made a formal offer of the Presidency of the road to Vanderbilt, but it was found latter he could not act as such under existing laws.

BALTIMORE, July 8.—The Virginia delegation met this morning aud elected Thos. S. Bocacock chairman, and will recommend Thos. Jefferson Randolph for temporary chairman of the convention. Baltimore is all alive to-day. Delegates and visitors are arriving byevery train, and the leading hotels are thronged with people, and fairly swarm the main streets.

Clubs are parading with bauds of music, and gay buuting streams on the air iu every direction. It is believed all comers will be provided with quarters, though the hotels were full two days ago and the anti-Greeley convention announced to meet in the Mechanic's Institute at the same time this week of the Democratic ConYeution, apparently, has few supporters.

TERRE HAUTE, IND.: MONDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 8, 1872.

Some of those instrumental in getting up the affair have refused to allow their names to be mentioned in connection with it. It is thought to-day it will Jje a grand fizzle. The Baltimore Convention will certainly last two days, aud it is intimated that a three days' programme has been arranged, concluding with a grand ratification meeting on Thursday evening. In view of the hot weather and the limited accommodations where the convention is to be held, there is a very generally expressed desire to expedite matters.

It is now believed that the split which has existed in the Pennsylvania delegation will be about closed up. Several anti-Greeley delegates have changed their views. By the time the ballot is reached it is believed the delegation will be sound.

Promiuent members of that delegation say that they would go with the majority. There are no new developments regarding the choice for temporary or permanent President. Quite a number of delegates are holding meetings for the purpose of perfecting an organization and consulting about various questions pertaining to the organization of a National convention.

The New Hampshire delegation arrived this morniug at 5 o'clock, and quartered at the Carrolton House. They organized, with Harry Bingham as Chairman, aud Mr. V. R. Edgly as Sec retary. They voted to recommend to the Convention, as Vice President, Hon G. W. M. Pitnow.

Gov. Randolph, of New Jersey, favors Greeley and Brown, and thinks there will be no question of their nomination in a direct form by the convention. He speaks in high terms of Mr. Greeley, and considers that the problem set for the Government in America rests largely upon his nomination. Gratz Brown, he thinks, is an excellent exponent of Western views, and believes him to be a popular man in every respect.

LOVE AND QUACKERY.

Romantic Marriage of a Chronic Widow at Council Bluffs. Many of our citizens will recollect Mr. M. L. Stanton, the young man who acted as private secretary to Dr. Payne. For the last two weeks he has been at Council Bluffs with the doctor. Last Wednesday he was married at the Pacific House, in that city, aud as there is a little romance connected witli the affair, we propose to enter somewhat into detail in regard to it.

There arrived in Council Bluffs, ten days aro, a lady from California, named Mrs. Fitch. She was on her way from San Francisco to London, but as she became sick while traveling on the railroad, she concluded to stop at Council Bluffs, and put herself under the care of a physician until her recovery. She accordingly employed the medical services of Dr. Payne, it was while she was the doctor's patient that Mr. Stanton became acquainted with her. The acquaintance ripened into love, and Mrs. Fitch, it is strange to relate, recovered from her illness in a remarkably short time, which was probably owing more to the potent power of love than to any medical potations administered by the doctor.

To un back a little in the history of Mrs. Fitch, we will state that she is a daughter of the Lord Bishop of England.

She is a very handsome lady, thirty ye trs of age, and was a widow of the third degree, having had three husbands up to the time of her meeting Mr. Stanton. In addition to these facts, it may be stated that she is possessed of considerable wealth. Mrs. Fitch is a powerful spiritualistic medium, aud while traveling eastward she had a presentiment that she was to meet a countryman of her's to whom she would be united in the holy bans of matrimony. No sooner bad she set lier eyes on Mr. Stanton than she concluded that he was the very man. We have stated above how their acquaintance terminated in love. Mrs. Fitch, after a very brief courtship, took advantage of the lact that this is leap year, and changing the usual course generally pursued in affairs of the heart, she made a proposal of marriage to her beloved. Mr. Stanton, acting under the circumstances as would a lady, took time to consider the proposition. He saw on a little reflection that here was a splendid opportunity of bettering his position in the world. Mrs. Fitch was of good family, young, handsone, educated, and above all things, wealthy, and he finally concluded, as auy sensible youug man would have done under the circumstances, to become the fourth husband of her who had asked his band and heart in marriage. An affirmative answer was accordingly given, and the ceremony took place in the Pacific House, in Council BLuffs, on last Wednesday afternoon, after the very brief courtship of one week but the brevity of the courtship was only excelled by the ardor of the lovers. The wedding was pronounced by all who knew anything about it, to have been a very recherche affair, and was the general gossip among the higher circles of the village across the Big Muddy.

The happy couple have gone on a wedding tour to New York,.where they will probably remain. Mr. Staunton proposes at once to enter upon the study of a profession—either that of medicine or law.

Mrs. Phoebe Campbell's Remarks Before Her Execution for the Murder of ller Husband.

I now thank the jury for bringing me in guilty, and I hope I will meet them in heaven. And I thauk the Judge for my right sentence, ahd say for a truth they done what was right in the sight of God and man. And I thank the Queen's counsel for his kindness, aud hope to meet him in heaven. They all done their best to find out the murder, aud I say it would have been wrong to let me free after that dreadful crime. I deserve more than I am getting. To think my poor husband was launched into eternity without a moment's warning, while God has spared me to repent and prepare for death. O my dear friends, I hope you will take warning by what you see and hear. It is a solemn thing to die, if not prepared. The judgment box of God is dreadful to face if our sins are not forgiven, but if your Sins are forgiven the thoughts of dying are sweet in a believer's ear. How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ear it soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, and drives away his fears. O! my dear fel-low-creatures, I pray seek the Lord, while He may be found. Remember my last wishes to you all. If you are not saved it is your own fault. For He is ready to save to tte utmost, vile and wickedness. My dear friends, come. O, I am so happy. This morniug is the happiest morning I think I ever spent, for I am a day's march nearer home. O, my friends, listen to His calls and to His outstretched arms to fold you to His breast. Come, just as you are, without one plea O, Lamb of God, I come. Farewell, my dear and grieving friends. Remember a dying woman's last words. Prepare to meet me in Heaven, where I am going. Good-bye to all, and God bless you all.

Last night one of the boarders of New Harmony Hall went down to the foot of Sixth street to take a bath in the river. Just as he got iu and began to lave his person, a fellow came along the river bank aud pointed a revolver at him, threatening to shoot him if he did not come out. The bather did notstann long upon the order of his doing, but got out in a hurry, picked up his clothes, and ran for his life up street to the terror of some, to the confusion of others, and to the horror of some ladies whom he encountered on the way.

Nothing could stop or arrest his progress toward his boarding house,not even the hail of a policeman who ordered him to halt. Bare and naked as he came iuto the world did this affrighted bather run from his tormenter, for such, doubtless, the man with the revolver was. Some of those whosaw this apparition from the river have not yet done blushing at the remembrance of it, and others are still laughing at the ludicrousness of the sight.

CAPTAIN JUDKINS, for many years Commodore of the Cunard line of steamers, had a certain way occasionally of expressing himself in reply to what he deemed pointless questions from passengers. In fact, a dove-like sweetness of manner was not the Commodore's best point. On one of his latest voyages he had among the passengers Bishop Littlejohn and wife, of Long Island. Mrs. Littlejohn one day, being near the Commodore, asked him if it was not going to rain. "Ask the cook," was his bluff reply. "I beg pardon," said Mrs. Littlejohn, "am I not speaking to the cook?" History has not informed us as to the precise phraseology of his response.

ONE night a trombone player wished to be absent from the orchestra, and as there was another trombone, instead of asking leave of the conductor he resorted to the expedient of getting a friend to go in and take his seat.. "Watch the other trombone," said he to his friend, "puff out your cheeks well, and keep your fingers active, look alive, and you will pass muster." All went well until a passage for two trombones was reached. Not a sound from the instruments It turned out that both trombone players had resorted to the same ruse.
