HON. CARL SCHURZ.

His Reception and Speech at the Terre Haute Greeley Temple.

An Immense Crowd and Enthusiasm.

Lasfc evening was a great one in the history of Liberalism in Terre Haute. At an early hour in the evening, the Greeley headquarters, in the stone front Main street building, was thronged with the bone and .sinew of the land, all ready and anxious to march under the Liberal bauners to hear a Liberal discuss the real live political issues of the day.

To the number of 268—Radical count— these gentlemen, each bearing a torch, marched through the city'preceded by the German band, discoursing some stirring airs. After parading for a short time they marched to the Greeley Temple, east on Ohio street, and filed left alongside the enclosure, not being able to gain admittance on account of the great rush of people previously having filled that great Temple to its .utmost capacity. The vacant space about the great Temple was also soon occupied by a vast, throng of people, all anxious to see and hear the eloquent Senator from Missouri, who has so electrified the nation by his matchless eloquence in defense of true Republicanism and in denunciation of the present personal A1 ministration, which tends to a despotism.

This vast throng of surging humanity, prior to the introduction of the speaker, gave three rousing cheers for Schurz, three for Greeley, three for Voorhees, and three for the State and county tickets,

COL. HUDSON

called the meeting to order and stated that the speaker would first address his auditors in the English language and then talk to his German fellow-citizens in their native tongue. The Colonel then said:

MY FELLOW-CITIZENS It affords me great pleasure to have the privilege of introducing to a Terre Haute audience an independent United States Senator,

THE HON. CARL SCHyRZ, OF MISSOURI. Mr. Schurz came forward and was received with loud and long-continued cheering, which he gracefully acknowledged.

He then said, in substance, as we regret, he earnestly requested us only to make a synopsis of his remarks that the vast audience would confer a favor on him by maintaining strict silence, for the reason th^t he could not make the vast throng hear otherwise. He saw by the vast concourse of people before him tbat tbe moment has arrived when the American citizens remember tbat before he was a Republican or a Democrat, he was an American patriot above all things else. [Applause.] He stood before those whom he addressed as a Republican, cherishing to-day the same principles he had advocated and defended so many years. He had voted and fought far tbe abolition of the slavery which oppressed four million blacks, and^ now he was as earnestly in favor of freeing the enslaved whites of their servitude. [Applauded en th usiastically.

Though the Union is saved, slavery forever abolished, by listening' to Radical Republican orators, you may be led to believe that the capture of Vicksburg and the battle of Richmond, are to be fought over again, and that every nerve of this great nation must be strained to prevent the' re-introduction of slavtry. [Laughter and applause.]

What are the duties devolving- upon the country Certainly it is not'to carry on war in time of peace therefore, it is not necessary to elect a soldier to the Presidency, thus continuing the military policy, necessary in war, but subversive of good government in time of peace. [Applause.] Just here is the "rub"—the question we have to decide. He had aided in fighting for the Union, knowing that the liberties of the people could only be maintained in the unity of the country [Applause,] he aided in extending equal rights to all the inhabitants of the United States, knowing that individual rights could be saved only by granting the same rights to all. [Great applause.] He differed with the Radical Republicans only in this, however great their achievements 'may have been in the past, it was not entitled to become a lazy pension^n and to feed on the public crib [laughterjbut that every day brings its new duties, and that those duties must be faithfully discharged. [Applause.]

Look over the general condition of things. Those who have fought together for fifteen to eighteen years, are trying to frighten us with the idea that the South is on the brink of a new outbreak. How is this Slavery has been abolished and free labor was to have been established in its place. How was free labor in the Southern States to be established, and how developed Not by continual interference of the Federal power by such a policy the very fundamental idea upon which our Republican institutions rest would have been subverted. Such a policy should be adopted as is best calculated to promote the general well being of the whole country not only, but the States in their local self-govern-ment. The speaker, for hispart, believed, in lodat* self government fQr he knew that it was the very source of all the blessings we have so lorig enjoyed ftttd by it all the greatness this country has ever kuowu b&8 been achieved. Local peff*

government in the South is necessary to the prosperity of that section of our country especially, because, when tne right of suffrage was extended to the colored population in tbe South it could but reasonably be expected that they would make serious mistakes, not being accustomed to wield so powerful an influence as the ballot. Therefore, wmle the speaker agreed with the Radical Republicans in tbe matter of extending the right of ballot to the colored men, be differed with tbem inasmuch as they denied that right to some of tbe white men in the South. [Applause.] If the ignorant blacks were by right enfranchised, it is nothing more nor less than simple justice to bestow the same great blessing on the intelligence of the same section of' the country. [Renewed applause.] In other words, at the moment when tbe blacks all over the United States were endowed with the right of suffrage, ignorant and inexperienced as they were, was it not tbe duty of the Republican party, in power, to extend the same right, at least, to the intelligent whites? [Gteat applause.] !n the language of Horace Greeley, [applause] when universal suffrage was granted the colored men was not universal amnesty necessary Yes, it was commended by common wisdom, and by every rule of statesmanship, and not as a mere, act of generosity commended to the country for the purpose of saving to some extent the South from the terrible consequences which the enfranchisement oi ignorance and the disenfrancbisement of intelligence could not fail to bring about. [Enthusiastically applauded.]

Did the Republican party, headed by General Grant, give that amnesty? Everyone of you know that for years it persistently refused to do it, and did it only when the Cincinnati Convention had written "amnesty" upon its banner [great applause], and when amnesty could no longer be refused without peril. [Continued applause.] The grant of amnesty by the party in power was the first victory of Cincinnati, the first triumph of the Greeley flag. [Enthusiasm.]

This action, while it would not prevent the ignorant voters of the South from misplacing their confidence, by being unduly influenced by unscrupulous carpet-baggers and unscrupulous adventurers, would serve in a great measure to equalize the evil effects of the otherwise inevitable result. [Great applause.] Such results as in North Carolina, where, when the War closed, the State debt amounted to $15,000,000 which, with five years of carpet-bag government, swelled up to $34,000,000, which with accumulated interest made $40,000,000 and the Legislature of North Carolina, controlled by that element, issued $16,000,000 worth of railroad bonds, which amount, with the exception of $200,000, went into the capacious darkness of carpet-baggers' pockets. [Laughter and applause.] And now the State of North Carolina has not ten miles of railroad to show fdrit. A clear steal of $16,000,000 in one lump! [Sensation.]

The census of 1860 shows the taxable property of North Carolina was worth $143,000,000 1870, $78,000,000, a clear decrease of $65,000,000 in the taxable property of one State. Think of it, Inaianians, in your prosperity of to-day. Dont say it was. the effect of the war, for there are other States in which tbe war raged more fiercely Virginia, Missouri and Kentucky, for instance. 'Under siich circumstances, I ask you, especially the Republicans within the voice, what was it the duty of tffe party in power to do Was it not its solemn duty, as much as possible, to mitigate these evils? It was its- duty to use all the powers at its command to rescue the Southern people and snatch them out of the fangs of the rapacious plunderers who sit upon Ujieir necks. [Great applause.] But Republicans had witnessed what they did, and used the whole power of the United States, the entire patronage of the government to keep these rapacious plunderers in power.

Knowing what he spoke, having seen with his own eyes the effect of such acts, the Senator could not conscientiously advocate the maintenance in power of such a party. [Enthusiastic cheers.]

These wrongs were perpetuated merely for the purpose of keeping the party in power, which did it. Thus the highest welfare of the country was sacrificed to the selfish interest of party. The effect of all this has been, not to make the Southern people satisfied with their conditions and accept the ijew order of things, but even to drive 'the well-dis* posed, to extremes. The Republican party constituted itself the tyrant of these people,and instead o£ bringing about the conciliatory State between the North and South, so much needed and longed for, only served to fan in new flames the sparks of hatred still existing |n the. South. [Applause.]

When I witnessed these acts of the great Republican organizatipn of the country, I saw that the great problem would never be solved by them. Yet it must be solved [great applause] if not inside, outside of it, and by those who are willing to act for their country's good. [Applause.]

But that party has failed to solve other problems. Every student of history knows that during great civil wars many things are done on groundeof "military necessity," which have a tendency to override the laws, gradually crushing out opposition, until finally a despotism results. [Applause.]

The young men, from ten to-thirteen years of age- when ttfe wax4 commended, are now from twenty-two to twenty-five years old are now voters, There are. many of them who do not know the Constitution by name. They have hardly heard anything of Constitutional limitation. At this moment they constitute almost one-third of the voting population of the South. This has been brought about by the dictatorial form of our General Government, which, in one form or another, has oppressed them for never in the history of this country has the Constitution of the United States been so scandalously dealt with as within the last three "or four years. [Applause.

As an example^ the speaker cited an occurrence a- year ago when he addressed a Chicago audience, for the first time declaring that General Grant was unfit to be President of the United-States. Then he felt lonely, but was happy tosiy that he did not feel so lonesome now. [Laughter and applause.]

He based that upon the ground that the President desired to annex Santo Doittinr go, and gave orders to the Navy of th^ United States to protect the Ruler of the country, Baez, not ofily against foreign invasion, but his own suljjects a poweronly vested in Congress and the speaker vividly remembered a lively discussion he had in the Senate with Senator Morton, of Indiana, on that subject. [Voice—and Morton \yeht down.] The speaker expressed himself unable to tell whether Morton went U] or down. [Loud laughter and applause. Actually, the war vessels* of the tJnffei States, without authority from Congress the law-making power of the nstion! Weire placed at the disposal of thfe |6tentate Of a foreign power. Really a declaration of war and no power on earth could move the. speaker to vote for«• President who had thus trampled under fto£ the Constitution of his country. [Entbiwiastfc ^pplatfse.]

The speaker knew very well tbat the constitution would not be overturned in a day, and may be not for years but that our liberty would be uudermined step by step, and tbat the power of despotism would creep upon us with a catlike tread. [Applauded.]

The speaker 'believed in timely interference to arrest the onward progress of the destroyer and-the subversion of free government and liberty in this country, whatever form it presents itself in. [Enthusiastic plaudits.]

The Speaker caustically reviewed Secretary Boutwell's financial policy, showing how be had violatod a limiting law of Congress by an over issue from the Treasury, which unlawful act was justified by the professional whitewashers of the administration on the ground that the Secretary of the Treasury knew his busihess best, [laughter], or words to that effect. So with the Secretary of the Navy, whose unlawful allowance of an illegal claim was whitewashed by a committee appointed for that purpose. So with the Secretary of War in the matter of the sale of arms to the French he, too, knew best, according to the whitewashing brigade of the Administration. [Laughter.]

The Radical Republican party is responsible for these shortcomings not only the direct offenders but the party that defends and whitewashes them is responsible and above all the party which renominates for the Presidency a mau who has been guilty of these acts detailed to you, is responsible. [Applause.]

There were some iu Congress who tried to right these abuses. What happened to them You all know Senators Sumner, Trumbull, the speaker and others, were denounced as traitors to the Republican party. [A voice—Sorehead.] A gentleman behind me, continued the speaker, says they were denounced as soreheads. [Laughter.] Yes, our heads felt sore for the laws of our country. [Applause.] They felt sore for tbe sanctity of the Constitution of this Republic we did feel sore for the future of the American people. [Great applause.]

Mr. S. spoke feelingly and with indignant eloquence or the acts of the Administration in the French arms sale. Taking up the language of the white-wash-ing committee, that the sale was for the pecuniary interest' of the United States, he handled it without gloves, showing it.to have been in violation of every principle of international law, and the dictates of good judgment in civilized warfare, showing its tendency as subversive Of the' Constitution of our country, and likely to involve us in war by following the dictates of a party guilty of so flagrant abuses. And yet those !who denounced such a course are soreheads.

Mr. Schurz then went on, and in clear logic, backed with figures, showed how an army of officeholders and all the machinery of the Government is manipulated by designing politicians in the interest of the powers that be, to retain in their hands the reins of government, to subserve their own private ends. He clearly proved that the officeholders sup* ported Grant and his friends because they were ousted from office the moment their loyalty—to their masters, not their country—was doubted. Even a gentleman of Washington who held a position under the Administration, was warned by a personal and political friend not to be seen in company with tbat map Schurz [laughter] lest he lose his position, as nis loyalty was already doubted.

The speaker asked his auditors to look about them and see if there was one among all their acquaintances holding office under the Administration who darecTcall his soul his own. [Laughter and applause^]' Out of 50,000 there were none who darted express their opposition to the re-election of Grant for as sure as they were known, off went their heads. They were nothing more nor less than the political agents of the Administration.

The speaker had seen frightful examples of how they were used in North Carolina. In that State 1,402 indictments were found againstKu Klux, out of which but two were found guilty. The 1,402 were told by the United States Marshal that if they would behave well at elections they would not be troubled. [Laughter. If they would vote for Grant it would "all be right. [Laughter.] Justice itself has been prostituted down to the level of the mere hand-maid of political selfishness. [Great applause.] But that is not all the speaker had heard of dozens of cases in North Carolina where revenue officers would go icito.a placftof business, snuffling about and there finding some stamp on something or other not entirely correct, would say, '1 have it In my power to ruin you£ but if you will vote right I won't do anything with you."

The speaker then proceeded to show ?how newspapers were suj)sjdized in the interest of the Administration by Government patronage, in one way and another, asserting that otherwise many of them would die. [Applause.] They manifested their gratefulness by heaping abuse upon.and villifying all who honestly differed with the Administration, as a matter of course.

The speaker and thousands of others throughput the 4and bad looked in vain to the] Radical Republican party ,to remedy these fast growing evils, only to see them increase with frightful and fearful rapidity, threatening in their onward course tof destroy tin otherwise great and prosperous people. Now that these abuses were not to be remedied, he was .injavor Qf tj»et new .j,arty,-. witji Horace Greeley [Applause] at its head, cleaning out the Augean stables, which is heaped fullof manure. [Laughter^ and applause long continued.] Let us, in the language of Greeley, clasp hands across the bloody chasm." [Applause.] And as Miv Boutweli and the Administration are not in favor of this proceedure, the former gentleman claiming, in a recent speech in North Carolina, that the bloody chasm must not yet be closed up, throw them in and fill. it up. [Great applause.]

If the party in power will not give to Soyth the rights, she is entitled to, 1 has the right to expect, put that party out of power, by electing Horace Greeley to the Presidency, [renewed applause] in November, next!

the and

Tbe South, the speaker asserted, is ready and anxious for peace and to return to the fraternal feelings of former days, and If they are encouraged as they should be they will do it. This thing of Ku-Klux no longer exists,' notwithstanding the sensational reports in,administration papers, for the speaker been down ithere and traced some of tbe reports up one that Judge Settle had been KuKluxed, egged, etc., while making a speech, when in reality, no such thing had occurred^ Two Conservatives had imbibed too freely and were fighting among themselves. [Laughter.]

The speaker thought they had a right under the Constitution and hy virtue of the Declaration of- Independence to pursue their own happiness.'

Loi^conti&oed iaug&ter.] Another sensational report that Governor Harrftn, of New Hampshire, was making.

ence cheered, for Greeley! [Great laughter.] And so with these great sensational reports about the Ku-Klux at present there was no truth in them, and no foundation for the lies.

True, the Southern people had once done

many

acts of violence, but now they

were ready and anxious for peace and consequent prosperity. The speaker had been in the South addressing them, from platforms like the Greeley Temple decorated with the glorious stars and stripes of the Union. [Applause,] The men in the South came to hear him who once evidently bad carried arms against that flag and they knew something had happened that they have been defeated, and are now for peace. In fact, there are but two kind of fools in the country now: one kind- has not heard of the war and the other don't believe it is over yet. The Administration calquers on the one side and skulking rebels on the other. [Applauded.] Those in the South who would re-enslave the blacks are as scarce as white crows, [great laughter] and you all know how scarce they are. But those who think the war not over yet are numerous. They are the oaeD who talk about KuKlux and would .make you believe that the South is overrun with them. The speaker had no doubt that there were many Administrationists who, like King Richard, who cried, '-'A Kingdom for a horse," would give an office for a Ku-Klux.

After some further discussion of the question, the Senator closed his remarks by showing the difference between the Grant uad Greeley speakers in North Carlina. The former were trying to fan the dying embers of hatred lying dormant in the Southern breasts, into furious flames, while the latter were counseling equal rights, justice to all, and common unity under one common banner, that we might all march'onward and upward together to our great destinies as a nation. Closjng his lengthy and effectionate speech by appealing in eloquent and stirring language to his auditors to support the great party of reform, which unfurled the banner of universal amnesty, justice and reform to the political breesse at Cincinnati last May.

Throughout, the remarks of Mr. Schura were listened to with the deepest interest and the most perfect attention, only when sallies of wit aroused their mirthfulness, or brilliant flights of oratory, produced a spontaneous outburst of ap-

plWhe'n

he had closed his remarks In

English there were loud and deafening cheers for a few minutes, followed by loud calls for an address in German. The Senator responded in a brief talk and was followed by Col. W. E. McLean who came forward and delivered an effective speech of short duration, on the earnest call of the vast assemblage. This was followed by cheering, and the great Greeley Temple was vacated.

The^ "Great Thunderer?' on the Sitntttion. The London Times, after reviewing the field, predicts the election of Greeley in the following manner:

The nomination of Horace Greeley by the Democratic Convention at Baltimore, without serious opposition, is one of the most remarkable incidents in the history of American politics. Mr. Greeley has always' been the most conspicuous enemy of the party whioh has now placed him in nomination. He was the highest priest of Abolition, when slavery was the oorner stone of the Democratic organization. He was a zealous supporter of the war measures of President Lincoln, when the Democrats were bitterly denouncing them. He is the foremost and most lanatical of American Protectionists, and a majority of the Democrats have a strong leaning towards free trade. Until after the war Horace Greeley could not have crossed the Potomac. Today he is the favorite candidate of the exslaveholders and Confederate soldiers and it is evident that the contest between him and General Grant is to be a pretty sharp one. When Mr. Greeley's nomination was first proposed, the friends of the Administration held their sides and shook with laughter. The honest old farmer was such a ridiculous sort of person, with his twisted necktie, and shambling walk, and eccentric coats and trousers. He wore—that is to say, he once wore—a white bat. He had written a book about agriculture, and the wits had amused themselves ever since with burlesque directions for making turnips grow up the side of a house, and strawberries grow on hop-poles. He was only a sort of infant, with a bland lace and passionate temper, who knew nothing of practical affairs. Besides, how could a Southern Democrat vote for the great Abolitionist The politicians were only playing upon his vanity. He would not be nominated, or if he should be, the Democratic masses would an vote for Grant. But within a few weeks, a change has come over the President's supporters. There is no more laughing. The warfare which began with ridicule of Mr. Greeley's clothes, has suddenly become vehement and bitter. It is discovered that the Liberal Republicans are stronger than anybody supposed that all Oppdsition to Mr. Greeley within the party has been readily appeased that even the free-traders and revenue reformers, as a body, are ready to accept him, and agree to his proposal that the tariff question shall be kept out of the Presidential campaign and- left to Congress that the Democrats of the North will vote for him with little or no demur while in the South his popularity among the native whites is beyond dispute. The Democratic newspapers, which opposed Ms nomination at Baltimore, are ready to sustain him now that the nomination has been made, and the attempt of a few Democratic irreconcilables to create a division in their party, like the recent attempt of some of the Free-traders to make a schism among the Liberals, was a complete failure, ^wo weeks ago it was the opinion of most moderate politicians that tbe chances of Grant ana Greeley were about equal. To-day. the general impression is that Greeley's chancos are the best.

The Times on the Political Situation—A Wail of Terror. NEW YORK, August 10.—The Times, to-day, makes the following significant admissions: "The great battle-ground of the present campaign is in the three great States of New York, Pennsylvania and Indiana. However other States may go, the party which carries two of these three States will, in all probability, elect its candidate. Considering this fact, we desire to call the particular attention of the Republicans and Republican managers to the necessities or the situation in the State of New York. While we have reasonable assurances of success, it is accompanied With ene imperative condition, that of thorough, vigorous and instant organization, and unceasingly follo'W the splendid example of Indiana, where the Republican forces have been organized with military precision and thoroughness."

It thus appears Ihe Times has paused long enough in its vituperation to take a rational Survey of the electoral probabilities, and its note of alarm amounts to a cry of terror. Its demand for. military precision on Grant's side is considered pretty good.

SPRINGFIELD, III., A tig. 13.—E. L, Baker, editor of the Journal, publishes a card in his paper replying to rumors that his wife is the waman who was found in the company of G. H. Robertson, of Louisville, in a sleeping car.

Mr. Baker says his confidence in his wife's honor during sixteen years of married life prevented him from paying any attention to the rumor at first. He says the truth of the story is impossible, because his wife was not in Chicago when Robertson left for Louisville, but was on her way to Sheboygan on a steamer.

He further says that Mr. Robertson was greatly esteemed Iboth by himself and wife while their pastpr at Springfield, and tbat after she returned from her lake trip, having some 'English periodicals which she wished to mail him, she innocently telegraphed to the postmaster at Louisville, asking his address.

He adds that she has for two years been suffering from a painful uterine disease, and was in Chicago to receive medical treatment. mmmj

DECLINATION OF JUDGE'CHAPMAN.

He Withdraws from the Senatorial Contest on Personal Groundsn-He Denounces the Administration Ring and

Supports Horace Greeley. INDIANAPOLIS, August 8,1872. Austin H. Brown, Esq.. Chairman Lib' eral Republicanand Democratic Executive Committee:

DEAR SIR For reasons altogether of a personal nature, I am compelled to decline the candidature for which I was nominated by the Liberal Republican and Democratic Conventions of this county. The honor conferred upon me by this unsolicited nomination I fully appreciate, and I shall regret any disappointment which may be occasioned by my declination. I cannot, injustice to myself, pursue any other course at this time.

In my judgment, the most important political problem which the people of this country are called upon to solve is that of reconciliation. The well-being of our people imperatively demands a realization of the inspiration expressed by General Grant in his letter accepting the Republican nomination in 1868, "let us have peace." Doubtless it was then, and now is, the desire the great majority of the Republican party that a condition of political peace between the people of the North and of the South should be brought about. But the entire management and control of that party organization, and the Administration of President Grant seems to have passed into the hands of the notorious cabal of Senators who are intent only upon personal success. During the Administration they have so shaped legislation affecting the Southern States as not only to keep alive old, but to engender new hostilities. Their onrty intelligible motive has been to maintain their own ascendency by keeping in powerthe adventurers who nave seized the State Governments and are robbing the

South

ern people under the mantle of the Republican party. Should the Republican party be successful at the approaching election, I doubt not this same cabal will continue the same policy should it

them a further lease of power

uch a vote will be by them construed into an indorsement of their past course., Nearly eight years have passed since the close of the war. Slavery has been abolished, and the rights of the colored people have been securely provided for in the Constitution. There is no political organization that would desire to disturb these accomplished facts. And now, if the people of the North and the people of the South are to live together under a Republican government, we must endeavor to drive away discord and: hate, and establish concord and good will in their stead. In no other way can we hope to have that political peace which at one time seeated to be. the earnest desire of. General Grant.

In miy judgment, tbe election of Horace Greeley promises to inaugurate such a season of reconciliation ana prosperity. It would be so unmistakable a verdict of the people that no Administration

disregard it. It would be the

political death knell of a set of selfish partisans, who have ceaselessly fed tbe fires of hate since the close of the war, and with whose services the country could .well dispense. Yours truly,
