ALL FOR GREELEY AND HENDRICKS.
Tlie Various Wards of the City Meet and Organize.
Speecbcs and Enthusiasm,
Last evening demonstrated the fact that the sentiment in this county for Greeley, Hendricks, and Reform, is gaining strength with wonderful rapidityThe various wards met, and, amidst speeches and enthusiasm, did wonders in the way of effecting permanent organizations. The
FIRST WARD,
however, effected no permant organization, because of a misunderstanding ought about Tuesday evening in appointing two separate meetings.
THE SECOND WARD
had a large and enthusiastic meeting at Reese's cooper shop, where Judge Patterson was cailed to the Chair and Charles S. Burton was made Secretary. W. W. O'Connell and Reuben Butz were selected by the Chair to report permanent officers. The committee reported the following President, J. H. O'Boyle Vice President, W. J. Ball Secretary, Charles S. Burton Assistant Secretary, J. R. O'Connel Treasurer, L. B. Martin.
The report was concurred in. The Chair then appointed Messrs. W. (J. Ball, E. P. Huran, Reuben Butz, and S. W. McDonald, a Committee on Finance. Judge Scott and W. C. Ball made able and energetic speeches, creating considerable enthusiasm. Seventy names were sigued to the roll of the Club, and the meeting adjourned to meet next Tuesday evening.
THE THIRD WARD
meeting was the largest and most enthusiastic ever held there. B. F. Havens called the meeting to order, and the following officers were chosen Presideut, E. Beelieimer Vice Presidents, Dr. Roberts and M. Kercheral Secretary, J. E. Lamb Treasurer, Chris. Roderus.
The request for signatures to the club roll was responded to by ninety one persons signing their names thereto in a half hour. In the absence of Mr. Mack, Judge Scott made an effective speech. The club will meet Thursday of each week.
THE FOURTH WARD
met in mass meeting at the corner of LaFayette and Fifth streets. The following officers were elected
President, J. H. Douglass Vice President, J. W. Shirley Secretary, L. F. Reifsnider Treasurer, J. Smith.
L. F. Reifsnider, P. Leonard and J-. W. Shirley were made aCommittee on Hall, by appointment of the Chair.
Speeches were made by Messrs. Dunnigau and Hudson. Though they were evidently purposely interrupted by the Grantites marching near by with music, they succeeded in making themselves heard a part of the time. How long is this thing of disturbing meetings to continue is a frequent query.
Forty-six names were signed to the call for a club. Meeting adjourned until August 24th.
THE FIFTH WARD
meeting was largely attended, and was held near Imbery's. The following officers were selected President, John Garretson Vice President, Andy Grime? Secretary, F. P. Carroll Treasurer, E. M. t?appenfield.
Messrs. Cookerly and Harper made speeches fifty-one names were signed to the club call, aud the meeting adjourned until Friday evening, August 24.
Sunday Services,
as usual, at Centenary, Rev. James \V. Greene, pastor. Rev. S. Burford, pastor, will officiate at St. Stephen's to-morrow morning ar.d evening.
Regular Sunday services at the First Presbyterian Church, Rev. Alexander Sterritt, pastor.
Preaching at Asbury M. E. Church, corner of Fourth and Poplar streets, at 10$ A. M., aud at 7i P. M., on Sunday, by the pastor, Rev. James^Hill. The public are respectfully invited.
Rev. Mr. Walker, who is supplying the pulpit, in the absence of the pastor, will preach in the Baptist Church tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock, and in the evening at 8.
Words of Congratulation.
We congratulate the Democrats and Liberals on their noble work. Never di«l the opponents of a corrupt Administration show more determination and streugth than are the friends of Greeley and Hendricks in this cpunty. On the 3d of this month the first meeting was held to orgauize a club—only fourteen days ago. Look at our conditiop to-day. Every ward in the city is OFganized and raady for action. Yf ken we Qpjnmenced fully onte jw-w
ahead of us in organization, and we pre sent them a front to-day that cannot but make them tremble. We have only commenced, and we can as-sure the ad herents of the lounger at Long Branch in these diggings, that they will have every inch of ground to fight over.
Rappaport Not "En Riipport." One hundred and eighteen persons assembled at Turners' Hall last evening to hear Messrs. Scholl and Rappaport address their German fellow-citiztns in favor of the man who presided over the Cabinet of tne nation at a time when they were selling ,'irms to the murderous French with which to kill their near aud dear relations in the "Faderland"— Grant. Of the number assembled, 15 were Americans, 35 were presumed sup porters of Graut, and the remainder Greeleyites.
Mr. Scholl introduced himself, and after speaking a few minutes introduced Mr. Rappaport, who undertook the herculean task of answering Schurz's speech at the Greeley Temple. His principal argument was that Schurz has no more influence since his taking grounds in the Liberal movement. In this, Rappaport was that he was not en rapport with the great majority of his audience, and let up.
We know of one German, of influence, who listened to Rappaport an hour, and straightway went and signed the Liberal club roll, which even now contains 212 names.
A DISPATCH to the Associated Press from Evansville among other things says
Colonel Dick Thompson addressed a very large audience of Republicans tonight at the wigwam. He was escorted to the ball by 100 torch-bearei-s, and spoke until nearly midnight.
The Col., evidently, did not feel very well, else he would have spoken until morning.
JIM. JOHNSON charges that the proposition of Campbell to the Democratic Convention was a corrupt "bargain and sale" for office. If we are correctly informed Johnson tried to make the same kind of a "bargain and sale" two years ago when he wanted to run for the Senate. The Democrats did not consider him worth buying hence the disgust with which he
looks upon
"bargains and
sales."—Rockville Patriot.
QUERY.—How is it that the Daily Express editors know so much about the representation to the Louisville, Ky., convention, "to organize a Democratic party?" In their great anxiety for the success of this convention they certainly manifest their complicity therein.
Ah, you "poliwigs," you have notshed your tails yet TONY.
Reprehensible.
Last night, while a troop of young Americas were passing along the different streets of the city, having their jollification in a torch-light procession, a lubberly boy of some seventeen summers, when they were near the corner of Fourth and Chestnut streets, hurrahed for Grant and at the same time hurled rocks into the crowd. The missiles came near striking ladies aud children on the sidewalks viewing the procession passing quietly along. Such conduct is reprehensible, and the violaters should be punished accordingly. JUSTICE.
The Banner's Bed Bugs.
Editor of Tcrre Haute Gazette: Cat-like, the Terre Haute Banner is gifted with the power of scratching. Last week he has been scratching the miesuick of the Terre Haute Reform, and now he tries to perform the same feat on your correspondent, "Wonder if he is." I must acknowledge that I feel a little sorry for my friend Banner, that I have caused him so much mental excitement. If the dog-days would last four weeks longer instead of one, I fear that his scratching disease would turn into hydrophobia, aud the expense of a muzzle would be a necessity to that institution.
The Banner, in its reply to-day, don't mention a single word about being one of Grant's political boot-blacks he don't say how much more he got from that source than was offered to him by the Liberals he does not even show the slightest hint that he writes so vigorously for Grant for the sake of principles he does not mention beans about it, and as silence means consent, I am satisfied on that point. But to read his remarks in Thursday's issue of the Banner, and to compare it with his advice in Tuesday's issue, to write controversies only in elegant language, is really laughable. If that article of Tuesday is of elegant language, I would like to know at what college the learned editor had stayed all night once!
Then ihe Banner man is cutting a big dash in his Thursday's article about being in college and explaining the word Gevatter-Handschuhmacher with the greatest of skill and the most eloquent language, but where the laugh comes in he goes on to state, that he had never heard that word mentioned in the old country only of Carl Schurz, a few years ago, who had once called him so, and bad an explanation thereof. So much for "Gevatter-Handschuhmacher." And now, be calls the article of Monday English hack-driver language. That is better. Very likely be thought so from the sore he received,of that whip cracked at him.
In conclusion I will say that I am a Liberal aud my platform demands me to be magnanimous, and therefore would recommend that the learned editor of the Banner receive the title of "Professor of B. B.," (boot blacks), for his well written articles in such refined language. The idea given in the Professor's paper that fighting a bedbug leaves a stink behind is correct. I take the hiut and say good bye, bedbug. WONDER IF HE IS.
Gas.
Editor of Terre Haute Gazette Although estopped from discussing the relative merits of gas and grsoline (which however, I have no desire to do) there are some statements made in your article which require correction.
In reference to the number of lamp posts lighted with gasoline you only come within twenty-five per cent, of the truth, although the figures were giveD, as Supt. Odiurue says about 200 lamps are lighted with gasoline Fossibly it is diffioult for you to get any nearer, so I will excuse you.
You say ''it is a well-known, aud mWi taar ft »nfrei$jfr :i*-' f, f-fU.,
5
fact that the gas compauy have dictated terms to the city of Terre Haute alone favorable to the interest of the company and in our presence, the Superintendent gave the Mayor of the city to understand that he and the citizens could help themselves if they could."
In the above, I regret to say, you exceed considerably the twenty-five per cent, margiu I allowed you I made no such statement as that contained in the last clause. Our conversation, which you accidentally overheard (I did not know of your presence, only as I turned), was on another point, aud arose from what I considered a monstrous assumption of the rights of the city, as claimed by his Honor, Mayor Thomas, and was this: "That, the city had not only the right to regulate the price of gas to supply the public lamps, but it had also the further power to regulate the price to the private consumer.1' I admitted that the question of price between the city and company was a matter of bargain, to be amicably and satisfactorily adjusted between the two parlies in interest, the same as any other contract between individuals, it being a fair matter of bargain and sale, but that the latter claim was preposterous and not warranted by law, reason or common sense. Another point was involved in the discussion held at that time, which the subsequent report of City Attorney Rumsey to the Council set completely at rest, thus confirming my view of the law in the case.
You say, "the gas company have dictated terms to the city of Terre Haute alone favorable to the interests of the company." Now, if by this you mean we are charging more than a fair equivalent for the article furnished, you are making statements about that of which you know nothing.
You do not know, and what is worse, you have made no effort to ascertain whether we make or lose money on the gas sold, the cleaning, lighting, extinguishing, and putting in the glass when broken out, etc., of the public lamps, and therefore being entirely ignorant of any of the facts in the case, I think it is the heighth of presumption for you (or any other person under like circumstances), to set yourselves up as judges in the case. What would you think of me if I come to get a job of advertising or printing done, and when you named your price, I should claim that you "dictated terms alone favorable to the interests of your company that "the dictatorial terms accorded by you to me, was because of your having a monopoly." (The term "monopoly" will apply to you as printers and my not being a printer, as much as against the gas company, for by your own showing, gasoline, lard oil and many other substitutes besides gas may be used for lighting the streets.) ask, what would you say to me, if I talked to you in that way about your charges You would say, and justly, that I was an ass that you understood your own business, and if 1 did not like the price to do without or get it done somewhere else.
This gas company, several years ago, notified the city that the price then paid for public lighting was too low, and that the company could not continue to furnish gas at the price paid. The City Council appointed a very intelligent committee of gentlemen, Messrs. Dowling, Burnett and Andrews, who, with the President aud Superintendent of the Gas Company, met, and after a patient and careful examination of the facts as then presented, agreed upon the present, as a fair price for the article furnished and services rendered. Neither of the gentlemen who represented the city have now or ever have bad, so far as I know, any interest in the gas company, and no one will pretend that the two latter, or Col. Dowling least of all, would have consented to taking one dollar more than they considered a quid pro quo for the gas aud work. There areseveral other points which should be touched on as equally unjust, but as is well known, my time is so occupied at present, I cannot notice them. Yours truly,
GEORGE RUG AN.
SOME two month ago Mr. Greeley called the attention of Mr. Gerritt Smith to the fact that many of the Ku-Klux prisoners confined at Albany were deserving of the interposition of executive clemency. He urged that some of these poor creatures were so grocsly ignorant, that others were too young to comprehend the nature of the fearful obligations which they had assumed, and that others had undoubtedly been terrified into joining the Ku-Klux orgauizations. Mr. Greeley asked Mr. Smith, as a philanthropist, to examine into the facts of the case for himself, and use his influence with the President, with whom his relations were cordially close, in behalf of such prisoners as deserved it. Mr. Smith agreed to look into the affair, but said he was doubtful if the President would be induced, in the midst of a heated campaign, to take steps for the release of any of the prisoners, as it might injure his political prospects. The result of the examination by Mr. Gerritt Smith, and his subsequent report to the President (confirming Mr. Greeley's views), was that Col. Whitley, of the United States Secret Service, was detailed to make an official examination. His report, of which we report a synopsis to-day, exactly justifies the wisdom of Mr. Greeley's observations and conclusions. The couutry will now be interested to see if the President will yield to the suggestions made in the interest of humanity, or will vindicate the sagacity of Mr, Gerritt Smith's opinion that he could not veuture on this act of justice lest it might injure his political prospects.—N. Y. Tribune.
PROBABLY no candid person who has studied the returns of the North Carolina election and intelligently compared them with the percentages of previous elections, has doubted that Mr. Merrimon is chosen Governor of the State. But since the fourth day after the result was first announced, it has been clear that a desperate attempt was making by the Administration party fraudulently to give Caldwell a semblance of victory. All the facts point to the existence of such a scheme, and the latest reDorts from the State show that it will be abortive. By-the time the Legislature meets, sufficient Craud will have been proved to overcome the slight majority which the friends of Caldwell now claim for him, and the temporary advantage of the Administrationists must fade. Nothing could more
forcibly
illustrate the desper
ation of the Office-Holders' party than its extraordinary efforts to gain in North Carolina even this fleeting shadow of a victory.— New York Tribune.
WHILE Mr. Boutwell was a member of Congress he wanted to impeach Johnson because two members of his Cabinet attended a political convention. Now nearly all of Grant's Cabinet travel around the country, making political speeches, and Boutwell does not object but goes himself.

NEW YORK, August 17.—Dispatches from Saritoga leave but little doubt that Judge Barnard will be removed from office but not disqualified from holding office in future. The court of impeachment held a secret session yesterday, after the counsel on both sides had concluded their argument, where they remained until eight o'clock iu the evening and then adjourned to meet in session again to day. The proceedings of the court were kept very secret, but it is understood that considerable discussion took place and the members rendered a verdict of guilty on several of the articles upon which Barnard was impeached.

It is said the time aud place of fighting will not be made public. The friends of both men say they are anxious to fight, and it is claimed that O'Baldwin is in just as good condition as Mace, notwithstanding reports that he was not in condition to fight.
NEW YORK, August 17.—Yesterday the chief incidents of Wall street were a spasm in money, consequent upon the manipulation of the Stock Exchange, and the rally of gold, to 15f, with a moderate firmness toward the close. The demand for money, and the dealings therein, were of the usual character until after 2 o'clock, when some excited parties bid the rate up from 2£ to 3, until some of the borrowers, afraid of not getting their balances at all, paid as high as 6, rather than take the chances of waiting for the reaction. Almost immediately the rate went off to 2J, and closed without any definite quotation, between 2J and 4J. Exchange was unsettled, and on the whole weak and lower. 8to^ was unsettled and lower. In Southern securities there was a very little improvement. Missouri sixes and governments sympathized with the higher ruling in gold, closing quiet.

The week just closing has been the most trying of the season. The heat has been intense, notwithstanding the almost ceaseless .rain which has fallen during the past few days. The atmosphere has been close and stifling, and the terrific thunder storms of the past three nights has not had the effect anticipated, of cooling the air. The sky this morning is sti'l overcast, and probably more rain will full to day: A large number of sunstrokes have occurred during the week.

CHICAGO, III., Aug. 17.—Dr. R. N. Thomas, of Marion, Pa., and Mrs. Minnir, of the same place, were arrested yesterday on a charge of adultery, having eloped together some two months ago.

E. Sargent aud General Burnside. Subsequently they applied for the hundred dollars bounty, provided by act of Congress for all soldiers who enlisted for three years.

Smith, Surveyor of Customs, has seized and taken up three quarters of a mile of side track of the Memphis & Little Rock Railroad, at Hopefield, for the non-payment of custom duties on iron, which, it seems, came by way of New Orleans, and, in some way, the payment of the dutiesamounting to $13,000 in gold, was avoided.
