LYDIA THOMPSON and her new recruits of beautiful blondes arrived at New York yesterday, and created great enthusiasm among the fast boys.

D. N. FOSTER is in the East, recuperating. His head clerk, Wallace Payne, is conducting the mammoth establishment meanwhile, very successfully.

THERE is a fair prospect of a speech from Senator Wilson at the wigwam in this city, ere the campaign closes. He supports Grant and Wilson, of course.

THE Superintendents of the Cincinnati & Terre Haute, and the Logansport, Crawfordsville & Southwestern railroads, have our thanks for appreciated favors.

THE Indianapolis police force, the Emmett and College Guards, of the same city, will arrive in town at 10 A.M. tomorrow, parade the streets, then go to the fair grounds.

THE Hon. R. W. Thompson, of this city, persistently declines the Radical Republican nomination for Congress-man-at-large, in Indiana, under the new apportionment bill.

SOME editorial-room loafer has made as free with the overcoat of the Journal editor as his exchanges. The coat is missing, as are the latest dailies before they are read, many times in a month.

INDIANA politicians play a prominent part at the Baltimore Convention. Terre Haute is duly represented in this great Democratic council of the nation, as she always is on such occasions.

EVERYBODY is anxious to hear the latest news from the Baltimore Convention. Our dispatches note the latest business transacted there, up to about S o'clock—the time we go to press.

A TELEGRAM from N.M.McDowell,Chief Engineer C. & T. H. R. R., this morning, state.*,, that his son is still alive, but all hopes of his recovery are given up by the physicians in attendance.

THERE is nothing like harmony and concerted action in the accomplishment of all great objects. This is true especially of political organizations, when needed reforms are to be wrought.

THE Logansport & Southwestern Railroad opens up to Terre Haute direct communication with a very rich and magnificent agricultural region, and several growing, enterprising and important towns. iifl

THE new city directory is passing rapidly over our presses, and will bo issued from our bindery in a very short time. It has been delayed somewhat, occasioned by our waiting for. material, which in turn was delayed.

FIRST WARD.

E. Read, Geo. Yost, C. Stark, B. Clark and Geo. Osborn. SECOND WARD.

Henry Handick, J. Burke, James Ho gan, James M. Allen and Joseph Thompson.

Mr. M. W. O'Connell was chosen as member of the Democratic Central Com mittee.

A resolution to support the nominees of tfoe County Convention was laid on the table.

THIRD WARD.

I. Harmes, E. Beeheimer, Jas. Akers Henry McCabe, and Edward Joyce. FOURTH WARD.

John Downey, James Welsh, Anton Weidel, Michael Tierney, and James Ezra.

Mr. James H. Douglass was recom mended as County Committeeman. FIFTH WARD.

M. Schoemehl, John E. Wilkinson, A. J. Kelly, Andrew Grimes, and John Coronin.

The following resolution was offered and adopted: jResolved, That the delegates from the Fifth Ward are hereby instructed to vote for James M. San key for Treasurer, and T. J. Langford tor Sheriff, as loug as they are candidates before the Con vention.

Manning Minstrels.

The audience that greeted this famous troupe on its appearance at the Academy of Music, last night, demonstrated the fact that its justly earned popularity is by no means on the wane in this city. We regret to say that, owing to his continued intemperate habits, the management were uompelled to sever the

COB

nection of Mr. Manning with the com pany prior to their arrival in this city. Owing to a severe attack of fever, from which he has not yet recovered, Mr. Hall was unable to appear on the stage last evening. Notwithstanding their embarrassments, the company is still one of the finest traveling, and their performance last night was fully up to the Billy Manning standard.

Deserving of special notice were the performances of Steve Rogers, in his grand artistic clog that of W. W. Newcomb, in the Necromancer," and that of McKee and Rogers, in their original copyright act, Rebecca Jane."

The performance closed with the laughable burlesque opera, The Doom of Dum Foozleum."

To-night Luke Schoolcraft, the wellknown comedian, will make his first appearance.—Ind. Journal.

A GENTLEMAN who interviewed Mr. Voorhees a day or two since informs us that his impression is that Mr. Voorhees will accept the candidacy for Congress in this district.—Journal.

Of course he will and he will be reelected by a handsome majority. Mr. Voorhees can be elected from this district just as often as he chooses to accept the nomination, and he can have an opportunity of accepting whenever he wishes it. Verily, if he don't want it, his constituency persist in forcing it upon him. These are facts well known in Indiana, and there is no use in trying to controvert them.

THE representative of a leading groceryman declared this morning, that if all the customers of the establishment were as prompt in their payments as the editors, they never would complain of anybody, and could afford to sell goods cheaper.

Those who consider editors "dead heads," put this in your pipe and smoke it.

PRESIDENT COLLETT, of the Terre Haute & Chicago Railroad, with highly commendable liberality, charged the managers of the Monumental Association picnic to Groenendyke's Grove, but a sufficient sum to pay expenses of running the train. Hence the boys will be able to hand a small sum over to the Association, which would not otherwise have been the case.

THE office of Train Dispatcher on the St. Louis & Southeastern Railroad has been transferred to Evansville. Our friend and former fellow-citizen, A. L. Gardner, the head dispatcher and master of transportation of the company, now makes his headquarters in Evansville in consequence. He has over 400 miles to move trains on and avoid clashing.

FROM a special dispatch to the Indianapolis Journal, we learn that Col. Dowling has been chosen as a member of the National Democratic Executive Committee B. W. Hanna, as Vice President of the Convention, to represent Indiana in the General National Convention, now assembled. M. M. Ray, is Chairman of the Indiana delegation.

THE Kuights of Pythias of Indianapolis, Greencastle, and other points in Indiaua and Eastern Illinois, will picnic at Greencastle on the 15th of August. Now, here's a chance for our local lodge of fifty members to exhibit themselves, and, judging from the members we know, we think they will make as good an appearance as any of them.

GRIMES & ROYSE sport a peach parer, which eclipses anything in the line ever invented. In our local notice columns will be found a few references to it. The peach crop this season bids fair to be the largest for many years, and it behooves all households to secure one of these champion parers, ere the luscious fruit ripens. ... /..J,

SUPERINTENDENT WOOD, of the C. & T. H. R. B., left yesterday afternoon for Chicago, and will not return until Friday. In his absence the first excursion over the road, on Thursday, will be in charge of Mr. Snelling.

LUKE SCHOOLCRAFT, who used to make the boys laugh, in this city, when he represented Kaiser," will be here with the Manning Minstrels. Luke ought to draw," when with a respectable company like Manning's.

DR. L. J. WILLIEN, formerly of Effingham, Illinois, has located in this city for the practice of medicine. His office is located on Sixth street, opposite the postoffice. He comes among us well recommended^

OUR friend John D. Nicholas, managing editor of the Indianapolis Journals writes a very creditable special dispatch, or letter of correspondence—from a partisan standpoint. The Journal Company will do well to keep him in the field.

GREELEY and Brown will be placed before the people to-day or to-morrow, fully endorsed or nominated straight out by the great Democratic organization of the nation. This will insure them triumphant election in November next. Be it even so.

£. O. DAVIS, General Superintendent of the Logansport & Southwestern Railroad, ws& in the city this morning. He informs us that the road will be finished to Logansport in a few days. This gives us another line, and our wholesale men will do well to look after the trade in that direction.

THAT reliable Bouse, Tuell, Ripley & Deming, dry goods, change their advertisement in the GAZETTE of to-day. We take pleasure in calling the attention of our readers to the fact of the change, and the "ad.," as changed. This is one of our old established houses, and deserves well of the people.

THE Gay old Professor who was wont to preside over the department of elocution in the Indiana State University, has been superceded by Rev. George Parrott, of Vincennes. The "Fire Fiend" is fit subject for the Reverend retired in the walks of private life, to which his in competency sent him. Let him lecture again.

City Editor Evening Gazette: Some weeks ago, several houses in the vicinity of the hominy mill, between First and Water streets, were fenced in by the Board of Health, on account one or two cases of smallpox in that dis trict. A watch was placed there, and clerk of the mill, who jumped the fence was fined some $30. So far everything seemed to be correct but now, after a colored gentleman has died there of said disease, nobody prevents his relations throwing the bedding, straw etc.. upon which the deceased was lying, into the river, where neighbors get. water for washing, and into a rill between the mill and Hulman's malt house, used as a play-ground by barefooted children. No wonder we hear of a new case of the dreaded disease once in a while. Who is the guilty one Expose him or them

Editor of Terre Haute Gazette: At the Second Ward meeting,last evening, to select delegates to the County Convention, I regretted very much the lack of harmony that prevailed. In all party conventions, their deliberations ought to beof such character as would at least give general satisfaction. No one individual, let him be rich or poor, has a rightto coerce, or attempt to lead by the nose, the balance into his way of thinking. You know that the Irish voters of this county met some time ago, for the purpose of selecting a suitable person from their numbers to present to the Democratic County Convention for any office he might aspire to. In doing so, they thought, and still think, that, according to their number, and adherence to the Democratic party, that they are entitled to at least one of the public offices of this county. The shameful manner in which we have been treated by the Democracy, for the past eighteen years, compelled us to take the course we did. But just as soon as the small fry of politicians and speculators of "Wall" street found out our intention, they got their backs up, in the shape of a resolution, pledging the Irishmen of this county to abide by whatever trickery they should wish to impose upon them. But the Irishmen were for oncj?, I am proud to say, ready for the emergency, and laid it on the table, by a majority which ought to have convinced its authors that they do not carry the Irish in their breechespockets.

But, on last evening, the same resolution—or its ghost—made its appearance, only to share the same fate as it did before. If Mr. Patrick Shannon thinks he can control the Irish voters of this county, or the Democratic party, he certainly ought to be undeceived of that conceit by last evening's experience.

Mr.

Shannon, I presume, is a moneyed

man,

but that good fortune does not entitle him to insult and demand of his fel-

low-men

of less worldly goods, "who he

is, or where he come from," because he honestly differed with him in opinion. But the old adage is that "every dog has his day," and I think our self-conceited and would-be dictator—if he could—has bis*

In conclusion, I will say that if I understand the sentiments of my countrymen at the present time, that they intend to stand boldly together and show these would-be leaders, if they could,^ that they do not propose to do their dirty work any longer. IRISHMAN.

The Herald" of New York. The independence of the New York Herald is something well known and acknowledged. As a journal it has been ever free from party control, and is in position to defy the malice of men or the power of money. The great aim of the Herald is to represent popular ideas and to follow not lead public opinion. In this it is wonderfully successful. This is one secret of the popularity of the paper. Men of all shades and varities of sentiments find representation at times in the Herald. It shifts with the times. Having no fixed principles except to be independent it has become the people's paper, in fact as well as in name, ana so wields an immense influence.

The Herald has been for Grant when he was popular, and now that he has lost standing knows none so poor as to do him reverence." It has been true to its mission, and to-day welcomes the coming Greeley as it speeds the parting Grant! The Herald has no use for dead kings, and hardly waiting to

[3p3C'a" Dispatcli to Evening Gaz tte BALTIMORE, July 9.—The National Democratic Convention convened in Ford's Graud Opera House, this morning and after perfecting a temporary organization, adjourned until 4 P. M.

So far, there is the utmost unanimity for Greeley and Brown and the platform of principies adopted at Cincinnati, and the question as to whether the Convention shall indorse the action of the Cincinnati Convention, or nominate Greeley and Brown in the regular way, by acclamation or ballot, will most likely result in the latter, as it is contended by the majority that such a course will give the ticket greater strength. [American Press Dispatckes.]

NEW YORK, July 9.—Gen. Sbaler states that all the regiments will be ordered on duty at their armories, July 12th, and that, alUiough no trouble is expected between tnk Hibernian Lodges and the Orangemen, every preparation w|U.,be made for any possible emergencies.

President Grant has accepted an invitation to attend Strauss' balliu this city. The election of Directors for the Erie will be held to-day, at the Grand Opera House, from 10 A. M. to 2 P. M. Henry Nichols, of New York, G. J. Magee, of Watkins Jas. A. Matthews, of Buffalo, have been appointed inspectors by State authorities. It is believed that Hon. P. H. Watson, ex-Assistant Secretary of War under Lincoln, will most probably be elected President, and A. S. Devin Vice President.•* HT

A majority of the trades on a strike have resumed work under their old system. The working men, in their weekly meetings, still discuss a' reduction of hours of labor, and method of making strikes, with the view of being more successful. The employers are still organizing, and expect tb form a combination strong enough to resist future strikes.

The Stokes trial contiuues to gather interest as it progresses. To-day the defense will devote itself to the disseetion of the medical evidence of the prosecution, and will attempt to establish the theory that Fisk died from drugging rather than from wounds inflicted by Stokes.

In consequence of the coldness of the weather yesterday, comparatively few cases of sun-stroke occurred. Nine cases

are

reported, four ending fatally. The second great trot of the season takes place at Fleetwood Park this afternoon, between Henry, Goldsmith Maid, American Girl and Lucy. ,.Lu.cyis the

favorite in the pool. The excursions from New York to Balmore continued last night. Among those who left lasfcmight were Col. Grosvenor, of Missouri Horace White, of the Chicago Tribune Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, and a number of Kentucky delegates, besides a large number of visitors to the conven tion.

July 9.—The friftune,

NEW YORK, this morning, regarding the Baltimore Convention, says a survey of the field leads to the conclusion that the convention will formally nominate Greeley and Brown without much discussion, rather than merely endorse the Cincinnati platform 1 ||g

The Timirslys the Democrats will today take the, first step to insure their fihal extinction as a political party. By nominating Greeley they will humiliate themselves without accomplishing the object they have at heart. Greeley will get the votes only of the dregsjof the party. The Republicans will unite in solid phalanx against the movement. The Democrats have chosen the weakest and most unprincipled candidate the whole country could produce.

The World says, if in the interest of Greeley, the Convention will refuse to nominate any candidate, it will thereby virtually proclaim the disbanding of the Democratic party. If Democrats are expected to vote for Greeley, let him be presented, in the usual way, as a Democratic candidate. To be sure it is an absurd nomination for the Democratic National Convention to make. But it is better for the party to elect and control him, than to elsct such a Republican and leave him free.

The Herald, editorially, says the only question open to discussion in reference to the adoption of Greeley is whether his nomination will be made in the usual way, or simply suggested, by endorsing the Cincinnati platform. There is no room in the Presidential contest for more than "two parties-nhe party supporting and the party opposing Grant's administration. The main question is the idea of reform in the Government, through a change in the Adminis^ tration,

Rock, the excitement is on the increase The Journal says: "The trial of Fred Krull was continued to-day, but on the request of the defense, the court room was cleared of spectators, so that we have no new developments which we are at liberty to publish at this junc ture. Mr. John T. Duff and Mr. Fardin of the Treasurer's office, were examined to-day. The authorities may as well be warned that if there be any attempt at concealment, or protection from the penal consequence of crime, the expo sure of the modus operandi and par ties instrumental in it will be swift and certain in these columus. The public do not believe that' ihe necessity exists, in this ease, to protect Timons & Co., which operated a year ago to save this same Timons, Belden, Clayton & Co. from the consequences of their election frauds, when indicted in the United States Court. It is the brazen boast of these strikers that the Attorney General, the law officer of the State for the prosecution, will run it in the interest of the defense. We belive that, even should this improbable and audacious brag prove true, it is certain that the public mind is sufficiently assured by the action of Auditor Berry aud Mr. Cobb of the Treasurer'sofficein relation to retaining Messrs. Belden and Newton, to assist in the prosecution, with this assurance, that the only apprehension in the public mind is that the guilty parties may escape through the manipulations of the Grand Jury put up for the purpose by our accommodating Sheriff, after the fashion of his own, of letting criminals escape. He should have been indicted by the Grand Jury for embezzling bonds. Many of our citizens observed on the street yesterday the alarm and anxiety astir among the entire minstrel outfit. They looked with great anxiety all day for arrival of a train from Memphis to bring them relief. A number of whispering consultations was held through the day, but all definite action postponed until the sachems of the tribe should arrive. We hear that from $75,000 to $100,000 worth of fraudulent certificates had been negotiated in Memphis.

NEW YORK, July 9—The election of Erie Directors was proceeded with this morning sft the company's office, on Twenty-third street. The following ticket was elected: Peter H. Watson, President Alex. S. Divin, Vice-President Samuel D. Babcock, Secretary Samuel S. Barlow, John J. Cisco, Charles Day, John A. Dix, W. B. Duncan, John J. Johnson, Henry L. Lansing, J. T. Olliphant, Edwin D. Morgan, J. V. L. Pruyn, Homer Ramsdell, Fred. Schuychardt, Wm. W. Shippen and Wm. R. Travers, Directors.

BRIDGEPORT, CONN., July 9.—L. V. Thiers, a blacksmith in the employ of Frank Buckley, Southport, Conn., was murdered here last night, by being thrown from a bridge of the New York & New Haven Railroad into the water. The murderer, named Davis, escaped, but the police are on his track

CINCINNATI, July 9—The report, telegraphed from Baltimore, last night, that it was currently reported there that the Cincinnati Commercial would come out, to-day, in favor of Greeley, is entirely untrue. What little the Commercial has to say is strongly in favor of Greeley.

CHICAGO, July 9—Last evening a meeting of the members of the different national societies and citizens generally, was held at the Tremont House for the purpose of arranging for the reception of the French band, which is expected to reach Chicago some day next week. Nearly every society in the city was represented by properly authorized delegates, who were appointed at the suggestion of the French Benevolent Association.

CHICAGO, July 9.—A meeting of barbers was held last night to arrange for a strike unless their demand that Sunday work be abolished is complied with. No final action was taken, and another meeting will be held. AKNIGHTSTOWN, IND., July 9.—On Friday evening last, a young lady by the name of Miss Crowell, living eight miles north of this place, attempted to commit suicide by cutting her throat. Some difficulty with her father caused her to attempt the rash act. It is thought she cannot recover.

Or the Boston daily press, the Springfield Bepublican records: The Greeley Republicans have at last a daily "organ" at Boston. The Times yesterday formally announced that its watchword will henceforth be Greeley and Brown. The Liberal and Reform movement now has a generous representation among the press of Boston—the daily Herald, Independent the morning Fost, Democrat and the evening Times, Republican. The Grant papers are, the Advertiser, the Journal, the Traveller, the Globe, and the Transcript,

shakv and uncertain. On the score of circulation, the Greeley papers have, by far, the advantage, the Herald alone printing a larger edition than those of all the Grant papers put together.

Averaging Yerdicts. Chicago Law Journal pitches

of damages by letting each man

write his estimate on a piece of paper, and then striking the average of the aggregate. The Journal says this plan may perhaps be used, in an informal way, to enable the jurymen to approximate an agreement, but if used to decide a verdict, it is liable to gross abuses. Tricky men wishing the verdict to be very large o* very small, may put down their estimates to one cerft or up to one million dollars, and thus drag the verdict down or up, far below or above what justice requires. The Journal therefore argues that a verdict obtained by this means should in every case be declared null and void.

To Cure the Love of Ardent Spirits. Captain Hall was the commander of the Great Eastern steamship. He had fallen into such habitual drunkenness that his mo3t earnest efforts to reclaim himself proved unavailing. At length he sought the advice of an ancient physician, who gave him a prescription which he followed faithfully for seven months. At the end of that time he had lost all desire for liquor, although he had many times been led captive by a most debasing appetite. The prescription, which he afterward published, and by which so many other drunkards have been assisted to reform, is as follows Sulphate of iron, five grains magnesia, ten grains peppermint water, eleven drachms spirit of nutmeg, one drachm •twice a day.
