WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1872.

SAMUEL BOWLES, the last man likely to misrepresent such matters, telegraphs from Baltimore to his paper as follows

Colonel Forney returned yesterday (July 7) from his Southern trip. He reports the Greeley and Brown strength along his I'oute, clear down to the confines of Texas, beyond all accounts and expectations. He says ex-Speaker Grow will soon take the stump in Texas for the Liberal ticket.

THE Detroit Free Press, havfhg decided as to the proper course "to pursue, remarks "We shall appeal to the Democracy and the people to elect the candidates whom the Liberal Republicans and the Democracy have placed before them, and thereby put an end in this country to Radicalism, centralism, personal government, and corruption."

THE New York physicians have re'ported a genuine case of Asiatic cholera in that city, which resulted fatally on

Saturday last. The announcement is a warning in advance to our city authorities, and to the general public, to set their houses in order for the approach of the pestilence. The fact that we have got thus far through the summer without its presence furnishes no guaranty for the future. August, September, and October are more to be dreaded than June and July.

THE Government is said to be acquiring a valuable stock of diamonds. Many attempts to smuggle them have been discovered, and the gems have been seized. Costly brilliants have been found in letters sent by mail, in boot-heels, in cakes of wax and candy, and in plugs of tobacco, carried carelessly in the pocket. Yv^hen the ill-fated "Arctic" went down, the wife of a diamond-dealer on board had over a million dollars' worth of the precious stones stowed away about her person. Her husband, distracted lest his wife and his riches should be lost together, tied life-preservers all over her, but in vain. She was drowned and her body was never recovered. The firm to which her husband belonged failed in consequence of the loss.

The Public Debt Agaiu.

Editor of Terre Haute Gazette: Absence from the city and press of business has prevented earlier attention to your editorial comments on my communication.

In answer to your sneer, "Ain't Grant paying off the debt?" I showed conclusively that the debt had been greatly reduced at different periods, amounting in the aggregate, in February last, to $287,257,310, with a decrease in the annual interest of $17,597,834. That while admitting that Johnson had paid off the public debt perhaps twice as fast as Grant, from the immense resources he had at command from the internal revenue taxes, &c., I showed that Grant had payed oft the above amount, thus reducing principal and interest, with the means for paying cut off, by removing from the backs of the people, taxes to the total amount of $307,500,000 thus placing this sum in the pockets of the people, in addition to paying off the debt, orjrather I should say $615,000,000 in accordance with the old aud true maxim of "Poor Richard," that "a penny saved is two pence earned."

Now for the "nut" you wish me to crack. In walking through the woods, I have frequently seen what looked like a good sound nut, but when cracked, have louml the kernel dead, defunct, worthfess, all shrivelled up such you will per oeive is the condition of the kernel of your nut. You say, that the increased value of bonds in the market is so much to the advantage of the creditors of tbe Government. This is true—the improved credit of the debtor is always to the advantage of the creditor.JfcBut this is just what is desirable, and this enhanced value of Government securities, is the foundation of the recent funding bill under which some $200,000,000, of the six per cent, bonds have been taken up, and five per cent, and four and a half per cents, issued in their stead, thus saving twenty millions a year of interest! And it is this which will enable us to continue the process until all our six per cents, are supplemented by fives and fours. *But you say tbe Government might have paid off these bonds at a discount. Yes and it might decline to pay them altogether, but the American people are no more disposed to this than any other species of dishonesty. in regard to the increased expenses of Congress and the other departments of tbe GwernBJent, you seem to forget that

the membership of Congress is largely increased that the country is growing constantly, and that the increase is only in proportion. Your "honest" Mr. Greeley, a few days ago, illustrated his immaculacy by selecting these items of increased expenditure, showing some $13,000,000 over similar items under Johnson, giving it as a proof of Grants extravagance, but completely ignoring in the comparison, the fact that, in other items, there had been a decrease of over $100,000,000! But the "anything to beat Grant" policy justifies any manipulation of figures. MECHANIC.

Editor of Terre Haute Gazette The Journal supposes your correspondent, "True Democrat," to be a "car-pet-bagger," whose only sense of Democracy and decency is contained in his motto of "I must have office or starve." ''True Democrat" is neither a carpetbagger nor an office-seeker. He was a Democrat when Edmunds belonged to the Know-Nothings, an oath-bound organization, which was endeavoiing to wrest the ballot from foreigners. And he has the decency to abstain from defaming those who entertain different opinions from his own on political questions, which Edmunds has not.

Additional Local News.

WHEN we stated a few days since that a couple of worthy ladies were in the city selling thread for A. T. Stewart, we were in error, so far as the item applied to selling thread. They call on the ladies throughout the city, merely leaving samples.

THE Hon. D. W. Voorhees left the city for Spencer this morning. He goes to Indianapolis, thence down the I. & V. road to S., where he will be nominated to Congress to-morrow, and respond in a speech, wherein he will take ground of support for Greeley.

OFFICERS VANDEVER and Buckingham raided the disreputable house, corner Main and Thirteenth street, this morning, on complaint of people residing in that vicinity. Three'women were secured, taken before the Mayor, and fined. A fourth was left at the house, quite sick.

THERE will be a grand mass meeting of the friends and patrons of Asbury University, at Meridian M. E. Church, Indianapolis, on the evening of July 31, to consult on the future financial interests of the institution. We hope such of the Terre Hauteans as have plenty of money, and can tear themselves away from Barnum's moral [menagerie, that day, will be in attendance.

OSCAR RANKIN is building a drug store at Corry, sixteen miles from this city, on the line of the C. & T. H. Railroad. He will also construct a residence there, soon. If it were any other place than Corry, or most any other man than Rankin, we might consider it in order to state that the drug store will have a cemetery attachment. Corry being a healthy place, however, and Rankin knowing how to rqp a drug store, there will be no lieed of a cemetery near by.

THE C. & T. H. R. R. Co. will lay a side track and switches, at Cory, in a few days. Horace Baker and his squad of tracklayers, are now laying iron on that portion of the grade between the junction of that line uorth of the E. & C., and the northwestern terminus of the road, at the Vandalia, and I. & St. L., on First street. This portion will soon be completed. Work will then be resumed farther on toward the Queen City of the Ohio.

HUSHER, the artist, has been photographing some romantic views along the line of the Vandalia Railroad, which reflect great credit on his abilities. One of the views is of the elongated and altitudinous bridge and trestle-works across the Big Muddy aud the other, of the trestle-work across Mill Creek. Of one of the views he succeeded in getting a reflection of the bridge structure, on the water, in the bed of the creek. His views of the two bridges are very artistic.

MR. WM. R. FREEMAN, not content with "The Rainy Day," is painting another fine picture which will add other laurels to those he already wears. His last effort represents a little girl, supposed to be an orphan and very poor, extending her pretty little hand for a penny from a passer-by. The expression of her eyes is timid, though imploring well calculated to bring tears from one's eyes, and pennies from one's pocket. Mr. F. contemplates calling it "The Orphan's Appeal." The painting tells its own story.

A COUPLE of prominent young members of the bar this morning argued a case before 'Squire Nehf, in which one of them made an elaborate statement of the law for the enlightment of the local judiciary, and was followed by the counsel on the other side, who stated for the edification of the court that the law as stated by his friend oh the other side, never was, is not now, never could and never would be the law. The Judge concluded he would think about it, while the clients were amazed at the legal lore of the counsel.

BASE BALL MATCH.—The Terre Haute Base Ball Club having signified their willingness to give Indianapolis people a sample of the way they toss the ball around over in the "Prairie City" our boys have bestirred themselves, aud will receive the Terre Hautentots with the following nine, which the boys say, although a "scrub" nine, will do the best they know how, to amuse our visitors.

Bixby, c. Q. Jones, p. F. Morrison, s. s. J. Morrison, 1st. "b. Parr, 2d. b. Sharpe, 3d. b. Vance, r, f.: McDonald, c. f. Whitmore, .1. f.

The most of the nine were members of the old Indiauapolis Club, but we mnch fear they will not sustain either their reputation as individuals, or as a club gainer in 1870, for a majority of them have not touched a ball since then. Quill Jones and Whitmore are members of the Racine College nine, and Frank Morrison has been playing with the Williams College niue. The others have been good players, and will do their best to add another to their victories of former days. Terre Haute is invited to come on.

THE Logansport, Crawfordsville & Southwestern Railroad contemplates con structing extensive car shops and other railroad structures in this city. This new line will prove of vast importance to the city. Our people have hitherto not fully understood the real value of this new road and its connections. The article in the GAZETTE was about the first intimation some people had of "the construction of such a track. We would advise all our readers, who can, to take a trip over the line at an early day. Some places along the road, not distant from the city, seem designed by nature for holding picnics.

A Card.

Max. Joseph denies having quarrelled with me on the street. This is very true, for be had not the courage to come out himself, but sent his clerk. He had better attend to his own affairs and not interfere with his neighbors if not, he will hear from me in away that might not be so agreeable.' How about that four pounds of wool you paid ten dollars for?

I H. STRAUS.

From the Ste. Genevieve Fair Piay.

Railroad from Iron Mountain to Centralia. Chief Engineer Runk, and his assistants, who commenced work last week on the eastern extension of the Laclede & Fort Scott Railroad, are still here at this writing. We have been informed, and now believe, that the Laclede & Fort Scott Railroad Company will make au earnest effort to continue the work commenced, and to finish up the eastern exteu^ap (from the river to Iron Mountain) of their road before July, 1873. Chief Engineer Runk, and his assistants are working under the authority of the compan^, and not, as some of our citizens have conjectured, under the "Laclede Contractors."

The road of the Laclede & Fort Scott Company—more than fifty miles of which have been already graded begins at Fort Scott, its western terminus, in Bourbon couuty, Kansas, and extends east, through the counties of Vernon, Cedar, Polk, Dallas, Laclede, Pulaski, Phelps, Texas, Dent, Iron, St. Francois— by Iron Mountain—and Ste. Genevieve, to its eastern terminus, on the west bank of the Mississippi river. The distance from Iron Mountain to its eastern terminous, at Ste. Genevieve, over the best and a good route, is forty-two miles from its eastern terminus to Centralia, on the Illinois Central, the distance is sixty-two miles, and from Centralia to Terre Haute, Indiana, one hundred and sixteen miles, or two hundred and twenty-three miles from Iron Mountain to Terre Haute. The distance from Iron Mountain to Terre Haute by rail, by way of Carondelet, is two hundred and sixty-four miles— forty-one miles^ farther than by way of Ste. Genevieve.

The cost of transporting ore by rail from Iron Mountain, over a heavy up grade, to Carondelet, is, we believe, two dollars per ton, and from Carondelet to Terre Haute, one hundred anJ eightynine miles, one cent and a half per ton per mile, or $2.83£ per ton, making $4.83£ per ton from Iron Mountain to Terre Haute, by way of Carondelet, while it could be carried by rail, by way of Ste. Genevieve, from Iron Mountain to Terre Haute, two hundred and twentythree miles, on a down grade to the river aud on an easy grade afterward the eatire distance, at one cent and a half per ton per mile, or $3.34$ per ton, and $1.49 per ton less than the cost of running by way of Carondelet.

We do not pretend to be "posted" as to the quantity of iron ore shipped daily or annually to the Indiana markets by the Iron Mountain Company of Missouri but we do know that for reductive purposes Indiana coal is superior to all other coals yet found west of the Alleghany mountains, and we know, too, where the Indiana coal fields are located on the maps. And we believe that henceforth hundreds of tons of iron ore will be shipped by the Iron Mountain company daily by rail to Indiana markets and that the time is near by when that company will save hundreds of dollars daily by shipping their ores by rail by way of St. G#nevieve, Missouri, and Centralia, Illinois, to sucn markets.

It has been conjectured that a railroad may be built, at an early day, directly across the country from Iron Mountain to a point on the Missouri shore opposite Grand Tower, Illinois. But we imagine that many years will pass before such a road will be constructed—the time for building such a road has not come yet. Such a road would lead only to one market for iron ore, the Grand Tower market, where there are now only two furnaces. The road would be, probably, more than eighty miles in length, while the distance by rail from Grand Tower to Centralia, 111., is seventy-six miles, and from Centralia to Terre Haute, one hundred and sixteen miles, making the distance from Iron Mountain to Terre Haute by rail, by way of Grand Tower, two hundred and seventy-four miles. Iron ore would not bear transportation from Iron Mountain, by way of Grand Tower, by rail to the Indiana and Ohio markets, and the demand for ore at Grand Tower alone will not be sufficient, probably, for many years, to justify the building of a road to supply that market only.

A road leading from Iron Mountain to Centralia could afford to bring ore over a down grade forty-two miles, to Ste. Genevieve, for sixty-three cents per ton, aud so that it could be delivered at Grand Tower in barges, which might return freighted with coal, cheaper than it could possibly be transported from Iron Mountain across the country to Grand Tower by rail." A road from Iron Mountain to Centralia, which would be ouly a few miles longer and cost no more than a road from Iron Mountain to Grand Tower, would supply the ore market of Grand Tower then, and also many of the Indiana and Ohio markets, while a road from Iron Mountain across the country to Grand Tower could only supply the Grand Tower market. Parties interested would do well to study the maps. Two excellent routes from Ste. Genevieve to Iron Mountain have recently been found by Chief Engineer Runk, of the Laclede & Fort Scott Railroad.

MRS. EMILY PITT STEVENS, the SanFrShcisco brawler says that she never

fished

tointed a pistol at anybody. In the pubcard which contains this statement she confides to the public that she is a member of the Peace Society, and so totally opposed to the use of fire-arms. "Indeed." she gently gossips, "so much am I in fear of them, I dare not approach the bureau-drawer where my husband beeps his loaded Derringer." With this attempt to disprove intent to murder by proving cowardice, Mrs. E. P. S. retires. Her card raises a very pretty question of veracity. The reporter of the San Francisco Call said, and says, that he seized a pistol which she was holding in the direction of Mr. Meeker, and forced her to put it up. She said at first that she meant to frighten him then, that she had only a "dummy" weapon. Now she says that she had none at all. Mrs. Stevens is evidently too scared by the disrepute she has incurred to frame

consistent story,

NEW YORK, July 17.—Gratz Brown, although still very weak, is gradually recovering from his illness, and yesterday evening, in company with Dr. Steele, took a ride through Central Park, returning early in the evening. He intends, within three or four days, to leave the city for some quiet place on the sea shore, and in two or three weeks, when entirely recovered, will return to the West and enter upon the duties of the campaign.

The Grand Jury, yesterday, presented an indictment against Robert L. Crawford, Commodore Vanderbilt's brother-in-law, charging him with a murderous assault aud with intent to kill Wm. Henderson, during a quarrel in regard to the arrest of Vanderbilt's colored coachman, who had dragged a white woman into a stable on Waverly Place. Henderson was sufficiently recovered from his wounds to appear before the Grand Jury.

JUNE AND DECEMBER.

Nnpitals of the Agricultural Editor of Greeley's Tribnne—A Cool Combination of Muslin and Kentucky Jeans.

Late on Saturday evening it was quietly rumored in a certain favored part of the city that a nupital ceremony of no little sensational character would com* off on Sunday at the Baptist Church.

The time appointed, being directly after the morning service, was a fashionable hour, and would serve to attract what is left in town of the crowd of attentive church-goers, attired in all the gay and festive styles of the warm season. There was aflutter among tbe middle-aged maidens, and girls in the neighborhood of the St. James were all in a titter of nervous exhilaration. Something funny was about to be done by somebody, and that was certain. So it was not long before the appointed hour that the Union's local began to skirmish warily about the scene of the approaching disaster.

The sun was broiling hot. Tbe sand was deep. Nature rested in breathless exhaustion. It was a terrible day, suitable for the consummation of the terrible deed. The lovers of all the blessed goddesses combined never radiated such fervid, gushing, fiery temperature as this day seemed to overflow, dismay, melt and annihilate one into their boots. But for our brave Romeo and the fair Juliet, how auspicioos the occasion !. Heaven smiled upon that holy attribute by which the happy couple were to be ushered into the ecstatic joys of anew revelation. How fearfully intense, heart-bursting, madly wild must have been those human feelings. And that was about the condition of the Union local as he patiently awaited the denoument, while his

shirt collar fairly dissolved itself into an unknown quantity, and the heat raised blisters on the top of his umbrella. At last the organ rolled out the doxology, or something similar. Faintly a glimmer was caught of thebiu3hing groom.

Venerable in years, perhaps beyond the three score and ten allotted to this earthly pilgrimage, he stood at the altar more like the slayer than the lamb, ready to sacrifice the patient victim. ThegroSm was dressed without ostentation, and apparently with the object of keeping cool. His legs were embalmed in the richest quality of Kentucky jeans, in which neatly over a pair of Nof 10j agricultural pumps a white v®t loosely flowed about his waist, and a lengthy brown linen duster coupletely surrounded his person and his boots. His hands were recklessly embosomed in a pair of yellow cotton gloves, which toned well with the other various articles of his costume. A glazed cap (undress uniform of the fire department) and a green cotton umbrella are said to have gracefully reclined together on the seat behind him.

The bride bore herself with resignation. She appeared yount?er-than tbe groom. In fact, it was said tha-kshe was somewhat younger than her swaib. She is about tweuty-seven. She did" look "chirrup" and nice, and her apparel was tasty and cool, being a light white muslin, with brown stripes and trimming, white straw hat with brown toggery, and vail to match very nearly the gloves and linen duster of the comely groom. The ceremony was impressive for its brevity and affecting in its simplicity—that is, it was as graud aud imposing as it could be for short under the circumstances The minister prayed, and did it fervently. There is no doubt he was sincere. Then he remarked to the individual in jeans that he supposed^ it was not necessary to explain to him the solemn duties of the counubia 1 situation. Not much. The groom quickly coineided. He was posted. Thereupon the twain were pronounced husband and wife.

Tbe service was what might be called the soul of brevity. 'Twas a good thing for a hot day, and gratifying to the couwho were doubtless in a hurry to get home. Remeo, he turned with a sort of a sickly smile, and slowly he bended his linen duster and impressed upon the chin of his blooming Juliet the customary seal of unquenchable and adoring love. Aud then there seemed to come a sigh— more plaintive—but rather more appropriate. Solon Robinson and Mary Johnson wer« one and the same.

Slowly they marched from the holy altar. The groomsman, C. L. Robinson, and the bridesmaid. Miss Louisa Johnson, follow. Not a leaf stirred. Not an utterance. Not an emotion was visible. But the gentle breath of the west wind could, if it would, have blown a memory which might well have added its solemnity to this transient scene.

No cake. No cards. As no cake was sent to the Union office, no notice will be given under the head of marriage notices.

The bride and groom—June and December—started on their brldal'tour on Monday evening.

A gentleman of his known character, representing such a body of capitalists ak are embarked in this enterprise, would scarcely make such a promise unless he knew it would be kept.—Indianapolis Evening News. i*

Indiana & Illinois Central Bailway. The stories put in circulation by the enemies of the road, to the effect that it would be diverted at Montezuma from the route direct to Indianapolis andconnected with the St Louis or the Terre Haute are entirely without foundation.

The parties who have now undertaken to build it have obligated themselves to build the whole road from Indianapolis to Decatur. They mean to do it.

The construction was commenced about the 1st of April. The iron is now down on thirty miles through Douglas county, Illinois, and the bonds donated by that county were executed and delivered to Mr. Hammond, the President, on Saturday.

The work is now progressing eastwardly from that point, and will certainly be finished to the Wabash this fall.

Mr. Hammond publishes a card in the Rockville Republican of the 11th, in which he pledges himself to. complete the road during the year 1873, on the condition that the people make good tbe promised donations and right of way.
