Additional Local News.
ATTEND the club meetings in your various wards this evening, all you who feel an interest in the success of Greeley and Hendricks. There is nothing like thorough organization, for in organization is victory and in disorganization, defeat.
MR. ROBBING of Watseka, civil engineer of the Danville &, Chicago Division of the Terre Haute & Chicago Railroad, was in the city yesterday. Mr. Robbius conducted the preliminary survey and established the gradations of that line, we understand.
DOGS are too numerous in this city? and did our police declare war on the canines as did those of Indianapolis recently, it would be a blessing to the citizens, and we are not sure but for the dogs as well, for there are so many, some are almost starving.
MESSRS. DUNNIGAN and Cookerly addressed a very fair-sized audience, near the nail works, last evening. We regret to say there was some little disturbance created by alleged Grantites. Would it not be just as well for both parties to observe one another's rights and privileges?
THERE are some young men—and older ones—who, if they have no respect for themselves, had better respect unfortunate neighbors of women of questionable character, and not enter the houses in broad day-light. Some of these chaps may disgrace worthy names by such conduct, if they persist.
JAMES B. CLOW, of Pittsburg, is still iu the city. Major Coats has determined to settle among us and we hope Mr. Clow will come to tho same conclusion, as we want just such enterprising business men to stay among us. They are both deeply interested in the coal fields along the line of the C. & T. H. R. R.
WE were iu error when we stated, in our issue of yesterday, that the re-union of the old 14th Ind. Volunteers would occur on the 31st inst. The re-union occurs August 28th and, as we said before, will be at the Fair Grounds, and one of the most interesting events of the season. Go greet the gallant veterans in times of peace and plenty.
THE following is the record of the municipal court since our last report: John R. Meek, fast driving, $9.10.
William Scott, drunk and disorderly, $8.10. James Baker, disorderly, $7.20.
John Magen, disorderly, discharged. James Heffron, drunk and disorderly, $7.35.
George Gilcris, drunk and disorderly, $8.10. ______ OUR leading business men who have received and examined the new city directory pronounce it a model book, both in completeness and correctness, as well as in its mechanical execution. Great credit is due to the publishers, Messrs. Ingalls & Company, for their painstaking and care in bringing out so valuable a work. A very few extra copies only have been printed, and parties wishing to secure a single one or more will do well to speak early.
NORTH Seventh street is now one of the handsomest thoroughfares in the city. North of Chestnut, on the west side, Messrs. Delano, S. McKeen, 'Squire Allen and others have constructed elegaut residences and are beautifying and adorning their grounds in. a very creditable manner. North Ninth street, too, is being rapidly and handsomely built up with new residences. Two or three years ago there was hardly a house in either of the localities alluded to, and the same can be truly said of other streets.
THE smallpox has rapidly disappeared from our municipality until now we don't kuow of a case, and don't believe there is a case in the city. Yet, however, those who are susceptible to the contagion should not expose themselves to old clothes worn by patients thus afflicted, or venture inside of houses previously occupied by patients until they (the houses) are thoroughly cleansed of their fouluess, and whitewashed. Thus the dread disease may be kept out of the city, not to afflict us during cold weather.
THKRE was a rumor on the streets last evening that the differences hitherto existing between the Terre Haute & Danville and the Danville & Chicago divisions of the Terre Haute & Chicago Railroad were about to be compromised, and that coal would henceforth be run through from the mines as if over the track of but ene company and in consequence of the compromise the proposed branch to connect the Terre E&ute & Danville division with the IHinoia Central will net
THE Hon. Bayless W. Hanna has been tendered and has accepted an invitation to address the great National Peace Convention which convenes at Louisville September 11th. The affair will be of great national interest, and will be largely attended from all sections of the country. The invitation of the Committee on Invitations is handsomely gotten up and is signed by many of the leading men of the country.
PEACHES were never more plentiful in the Terre Haute market thus early in the season. By the time the fruitful season is over, even the poor can have canned peaches to nourish them during the long, weary winter mouths. It is most healthful, as well as luscious fruit, and it is a blessing to all classes of society that there is an abundant harvest.

Kuights of Pythias Excnrsiou and Picnic.
Educational and Political.
GKEENCASTLE, August 15, P. M. As you of Terre Haute are well aware, by sending participates, we of Greencastle enjoyed a most interesting picnic here to-day, given under the auspices of the Knight of Pythias.
Special trains over the Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad, from the east and the west, came in during the forenoon, all laden with the gallant and fraternal Pythian Knights, accompanied by their friends. They were met at the depot, here, by our own city's lodge, and, headed by bands of music, marched through our streets, in full uniform of brilliant hues, armed with silvermounted swords, of the Templar pattern, making a magnificent appearance. After parading for a time, they repaired to Hammond's grove, where a sumptuous banquet was partaken of by about two thousand persons, representing Indianapolis, Loisville, Terre Haute, Greencastle, and other places of less importance.
There were present many ladies, of course for the Knights, like the knights of olden times, are gallant gentlemen, and could not enjoy themselves away from the society of fair women on such an occasion as this excursion and picnic. The dinner duly dispatched, the vast concourse of people present repaired to the speaker's stand, where they were welcomed to the hospitalities of the city, as previously announced, by Hon. Thomas Hanna, of Eagle Lodge, this city, in fitting words, which were as fittingly responded to in behalf of the guests, by Mr. Kendrick, of Star Lodge, Iudiauapolis.
Then followed an able and eloquent address by the Hon. Samuel P. Oyler, of Franklin, a member of high order in the Brotherhoods, and orator of the day. His address was one well worthy the occasion and the well-known reputation of the man as an orator. He spoke eloquently of the warmth of the reception accorded the guests in Greencastle, and then proceeded to a careful and searching review of the history of the organization and closed by bespeakiug for it the accomplishment of the high mission for which the order was created and destined by its founders. The address was replete with eloquently-express«d ennobling sentiments of fraternal feelings, being frequently applauded during its delivery.
After the address, an afternoon of rural picnicing was enjoyed by all until near sun-down, when all parties from abroad repaired to th°ir respective trains, escorted by Eagle Lodge of this city, preceded by stirring music by the band.
The day was a most enjoyable one for Greencastle, and we trust for our guests as well at least, they seemed to enjoy it.
Our two worthy educational institutes, Asbury Indiana Wniversity and the Indiana Female College, will shortly open out their fall terms and from present indications will both be largely attended. We of this city, as should be all the citizens of Indiana, interested in educational matters, are very proud of these institutions.
The political cauldron is bubbling quite lively here now. Liberalism, Republican and Democratic is gaining strength day by day. H.
From the'LaFayette Courier, of the 15th. PLANTAMOUJRIC.
Fall of a Wonderful Aerolite in Benton County. Captain Scott, who is cultivating several thousand acres of the Fowler farm in Benton county, reports the fall, near his residence, northeast of Oxford, of one of the most remarkable aerolites that has ever been seen in the United States. Indeed, it has never been rivaled, unless by the monster moon-stone weighing 1,635 pounds, that fell near the Red river in Arkansas, and which is still preserved in the cabinet of Yale College and it may not prove second to that in size.
According to Captain Scott's account, he was returning from camp meeting about 13:30 P. M. The evening was cloudy and dark, with occasionally a little rain, and it was with difficulty that he could distinguish the road leading across the fields which he was following. Suddenly he was startled with a blinding glare of light that illuminated everything as far.as the eye could reach with more than noonday radiance. Simultaneously he heard a rushing sound, as he describes, like a terrible gust of wind, and the next instant saw shooting vertically downward a huge, fiery ball, that struck the earth but a few rods from where he was standing, with a deafening detonation and a shock like an earthquake. Captain S. owns to being badly frightened, and for a few moments stood motionless, completely at a loss to account for what had happened. In the meantime a hissing noise came from the spot where the mysterious object had landed, accompanied by a steamlike vapor and a strong, sulphurous odor. The blinding light continued for full fifteen minutes, and before it had altogether subsided, Capt. Scott mustered up courage to make a closer investigation. The aerolite was still smoking where it had fallen, and too hot to be removed, but after considerable trouble a fragment of the substance with which the interior was filled was secured. It has much the appearance of volcanic rock, but is considerably lighter, being scarcely heavier than some of the more solid woods.
WE are surprised to hear that Colonel Richard W. Thompson, in his speeches, is descending to the low demagoguery of telling his audiences that slavery will be restored if Mr. Greeley is elected. We are loth to believe it. Colonel Thompson knows too much to believe any such absurd idea, and is certainly too honoraablea man to say what he does not believe.—Ind. Evening News.

The new comer, the brig Sea Bird, is twenty days from Jamaica. When boarded by the health officers, they found one man dead with fever, and one sick. The brig and cargo will he thoroughly disinfected. The other vessels have been disinfected, and everything now appears favorable. Almost all the sick on board are convalescent.

The new Board has not as yet taken any further steps towards securing the police property, and this action of the Board of Finance will, it is thought, lead to further complications.
NEW YORK, August 16.—A fire last evening in the printing and mailing rooms of the Christian Union, under Park Hotel, caused a damage of $2,000. Great excitement was created among the guests of the hotel, but the fire was soon extinguished. During the excitement Wm. Stevenson fell into one of the vault openings in the sidewalk, sustaining serious injuries.
Up to a late hour last night nothing had been heard from McMullen as to the time and place of fighting between Mace and O'Baldwin, and it will probably be two or three days before the matter is settled. Mace has been taken by Doney Harris to a quiet place, and to-day he will be taken back to his training quarters. Several bets were made last night at headquarters, where a large crowd congregated to discuss the situation, odds being in favor of Mace. There seems to bean impression that the fight will come off and that McMullen will order the men to fight at New Orleans within five days.
MEMPHIS, August 16. -The first bale ot new cotton was received to-day from Northern Alabama. It is six days earlier than last season or any season since the war except 1866 when the first bale arrived on the 17th. This bale goes to New York to-night. It classes good ordinary.
MEMPHIS, August 16.—Little Rock dispatches to-day announce the convention of the Clayton party held there today. Officers were nominated, and delegates appointed to the State Convention, which meets on Wednesday next. It is now pretty certain that the Clayton State Convention will throw Hadley overboard. He is too much weight. His course iu the Pope county affair and his known rascality have killed him.
The nomination seems to be between ex-Senator McDonald and Judge Elisha Baxter, of Batesville, with the chances in favor of the latter. The minstrels are forced to the wall and unless they put up a first-class ticket and give some assurances of fair registration and a fair election, their leading men acknowledge that they are beaten.

San Domingo.
During Andrew Johnson's Administration, General Cabral was elected President of the Dominican Republic. He proposed to sell the Bay of Samana to the United States, whereupon General Baez denounced him as a traitor, incited an insurrection that drove him from his position, and established himself as President vi et armis. The usurper at once did what he had deposed Cabal fordoing. He sent two Americans, Davis Hatch and E. P. Smith, to Washington to offer to lease or sell Samana, or to transfer the whole country, to the United States. He asked, as a condition, that the latter should keep hira in power until the
Tne treaty was finally drawn. It provided that the President should send Baez at once, without waiting for the Senate's ratification, $100,000 in gold and $50,000 worth of arms that the President should do everything in his power to have it ratified and that all grants of laud to American citizens should be held inviolate. The three negotiators on our side were Messrs. Babcock, Cazneau, and Fabeus. It is said that the first had a valuable grant. It is known that thetwo latter had several such, a single one of which included one-seventh of all San Domingo How faithfully the President lobbied for this treaty, General Pleasanton has shown us. Charles Sumner was displaced from the Chairmanship of the Committee on Foreign Relations bee?use he opposed it. Efforts to bribe .'arl Schurz to support it failed and Gs-.mt sent Pleasanton notice to remove Schurz's brother-in-law from the Chicago Collectorship "at once." Pleasanton remonstrated, but in vain. In Grant's eyes, the ousting of a brother-in-law from office is a punishment worthy of the gods. So he sated his thirst for petty vengeance.
The treaty was rejected by a decisive vote. The people have endorsed that rejection. Has the President given up his scheme? One of the Vice Presidents at Philadelphia was Tracy, of Texas, Chairman of the Grant State Committee, and editor of the Houston Union. He interviewed Grant before going home, arid published in the Union a long account of that interview, which we printed some weeks since. According to this, the President hopes, if re-elected, to make the acquisition of San Domingo merely the first step toward the annexation of Cuba and Mexico. This semiofficial statement of intentions is something to be considered by the prudent men who recognize the fact that, while we have so many questions to settle within our present boundaries, the extension of those boundaries to include bankrupt, quarreling States, with a population in which ignorance, idleuess, and vice strive for the mastery, would be the height of folly.—Chicago Tribune.
Gratz Brown's New Haven Spcech—A Slander Contradicted. Governor English, of Connecticut, publishes the following rejoinder to the statement appearing in a Buffalo paper that he (English) said Gratz Brown was intoxicated when in New Haven "Messrs. Editors: "Duty alike to Governor Brown and myself, requires that I should contradict this most wanton libel. I saw but little of Governor Brown while in this city his time was, for the most part, occupied in attending to college exercises. I went to the New Haven House for the purpose of hearing him speak in response to a serenade, where I met him iu the parlor. He was being introduced to many of our distinguished citizens. At nine o'clock he made a speech as published, and remained in conversation with both ladies and gentlemen until about 10 o'clock, when be retired to his room, since which time I have not seen or beard from him. During this whole period of time I was present aud introduced strangers to him, and his time was constantly employed in interchanging civilities usual and consequent upon such an occasion. Had he been intoxicated, as has been represented, hundreds of oar best citizens had the best of opportunities to have discovered it, and it could never have been left to the clerk of the hotel to be the sole one to discover it. "In all my intercourse with Governor Brown I have never seen him intoxicated, nor have I ever seen him drink one drop of spirituous liquors, not so much as a glass of wine. "JAMES E. ENGLISH.

nego
tiations were over. This, Secretary Seward promptly declined to do, saying: "That would be an act of war in itself." So the negotiations fell through. In 1869 Baez, then involved in a desperate war with the legitimate President, Cabral, and in a difficulty with Hayti about the boundary between the two countries, made new overtures to Grant. The latter grasped at the idea. He-kept his illegal Military Secretary, Gen. Babcock, in San Domingo for many months, and he sent ten United States vessels, at a cost of over $490,000, according to official reports, to aid Babcock in his negotiations. Part of this force captured the steamer Telegrafo, which had a regular commission from the regular President Cabral, and turned her over to Baez. Part of it was sent to the harbor of Port-au-Prince, the Capital of Hayti. When it arrived there, the guns were shotted, and turned upon the town. The officer iu command landed, with ah armed and uuiformed guard, and presented the President of Hayti with a written notification that, if there was "any intervention, direct or indirect," in Dominican affairs, by Hayti, his fleet would instantly blow Port-au-Prince to pieces. By such means, Grant kept Baez in power, doing precisely what one of the first of American statesmen had declared would be "an act of war in itself." While American vessels, guns, and troops were thus used to prop up an usurper, that usurper was keeping in prison an American citizen, Davis Hatch, whom he suspected of being opposed to annexation. On trumped-up charges, he had him sentenced, first to death, then to banishment. Babcock testified before a Committee of Congress that he knew of Hatch's condition, and did nothing whatever to obtain bis release. The prisoner was finally set free, when Babcock had left the island, on the peremptory demand of United States Consul Perry, who testified that Babcock afterwards reproached him for having let out of prison an enemy of the treaty, and said that Grant was very much displeased thereat.

Special dispatch to the St Louis Globe. Great Sensation—Large Swindle Perpetrated—Listof the Victims—The Perpe trators Arrested.
LOUISVILLE, August 14.—A tremendous sensation was created here to-day by liscovering that Robert Atwood, General Agent of the Union Insurance Company of this city, and a member of the firm of A. Schaffler & Co., pork-packers and provision dealers, had beaten the banks here out of an immense sum of money, the lowest estimate being $150,000, by means of forged checks and worthless drafts. The following are among the victim": Citizens' Northern Bank of Kentucky, Planters' National Bank of Louisville, Falls City Tobacco Bank, Farmers' and Drovers' aud a large portion of the money was obtained on sight drafts on the National Bnnk of Commerce aud the Nation Park Bank of New York.
Several of the drafts were returned as protested as early as last week, but he said it was a mistake, and gave other chocks for the money, which also proved worthless. The principal names used were Dr. Lewis Roirers, Atwood & Nicholas, and A. Schaffler & Co. He was regarded as a reliable and prosperous business man and occupied a high social position. He was an elder in the Chestnut street Presbyterian church. Rev. Gilbert H. Robertson's church. He left this city this afternoon, but was arrested at Seymour, Indiana, and is now on his way to this city. Unsuccessful speculations are supposed to be the cause.
Old White.
The old veteran actor and favorite comedian is about to leave us. He starts on Monday on his seventh and last annual trip through the State of Indiana, which will continue until October, when he commences an engagement with Lawrence Bftrrett's company at New Orleans, after which Mr. White proceeds to California for an indefinite period. It is probable that, after Saturday evening next, his genial face will no longer be visible on the scene of his many triumphs, and all who have laughed at his comedy, and been edified by his touches of pathos, should rally round the old veteran on this occasion. For thirteen years he has held his own, and no other comedian has made such continued successes on the boards of this city. He has had mtfny benefits, all of which have been well attended, empty benches being unknown and at this, his last and testimonial benefit, let all his friends support him, and (send him from us with a lasting remembranee of the good feeling of his fellovj^gitizens.—Ind. Evening News.
A Dead Beat.
Hon. Will C. Moreau, of Indiana, is out with a manifesto in favor of Blanton Duncau's convention.—Exchange.
The Hon. W. C. Mareau, of Indiana, came to this city in thek campaign of 1868, proposing to make Democratic speeches, and stating that he had been a Major in the volunteer service. He did make one speech in the court house, and the next day the Journal, the Radical organ here, favored the public by publishing the order by which Moreau was cashiered for a half dozen crimes. Moreau then borrowed money enough to get out of town and left. Neither we nor his creditors have heard from him since then until be turns up issuing monifestoes in favor of Blanton Duncan's convention. Moreau is a scalawag and dead beat, and is hereby recommeuded as a proper person to attend to Louisville-BIanton Duncan side show.—Springfield Register.
Special Correspondence of the Ind. Sentinel. Canvass of Mr. Toortaees.
Hon. D. W. Voorhees, on last evening, closed a series of six speeches in this county. Mr. Voorhees, always enthusiastically received, never before in his political life met with such a hearty and cordial reception as in his campaign just close here. No special effort was made to get the people out, aud yet they came by hundreds and by thousands. Republicans, especially, turned out in large numbers, and such as came to "scoff, stayed to pray." General good feeling prevailed at ail of his meetings. Old and leading Republicans predict bis re-election by fifteen hundred. Dan is like Brady's bitters—"Everybody takes him."
THE Morning Journal poked fun in its Thursday's issue at the Sentinel for crowing too soon over the result in North Carolina. This is all very well, but what did the Journal do? It gave up the State to the "Copperheads" without a struggle, and was willing to concede it had gone Democratic upon the receipt of the first dispatches—even going so far as to publish a ridiculous article, showing bow the Republicans had been swindled out of a victory by two penitentiary convicts who had been sent down to the old North State. It is about time the Journal had learned that there was "many
a
slip betwixt the cup and the lip," particularly in politics.—Ind. People.

MR. SPAUN, of Georgia, who terminated Mrs. Spaun's terrestrial career with a butcher knife, and was sentenced to be banged therefcr, has had his space of life extended another month by the Governor, much to the disgust of a large crowd of intelligent citizens who assembled on the 25th ult. to see the majesty of the law vindicated with a rope.
