JCST after the Greeley Escort Club had crossed the track of the Vaudalia line .Saturday night, a train of "flats" loaded with Grautites, waving torches and cheering vociferously, crossed the street, making a magnificent appearance. 'ounter cheers were given by the Greeley Escort Club, as they marched on in fine order.

WE learn from Conductor Lyon, of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad, that while engineer Mooney was backing his train into the switch at Coatsville the other day, a large moth flew into his ear. The result was, Mooney became almost frantic with pain, and could get no relief l'rom the terrible torture until he called on a doctor near by and had the Obstruction abstracted.

PROF. GKEENAWALT, acrobat, after having made a staring tour of the East in this professional capacity, ou one occasion turning thirteen somersaults from a lightning express train running at full speed, and landing on his head in an adjacent cornfield, has returned to his home in this city, and will resume bis duties in our city schools, until the time arrives for hi ni to make another acrobatic tour of the East.

JOHN S. BEACH, ESQ., could not longer endure the humiliating spectacle of witnessing the tall tree in the P. O. alley towering aloft after its majestic branches had been desecrated as it was by Grantite baloonitics sending tip therefrom fiery praises to Graut, in the shape of a mammoth transparency, baloon .shaped, (he night Senator Morton spoke at the Wigwam. He had the old residenter leveled Saturday.

IN noticing our reference to the marriage of a gentleman named Gardner, at S ilt Lake City, supplemented with a "wonder if it could be our friend A. L. Gardner, of Evansville," the Journal of that city says

It was not A. L. Gardner, nor do we think the gon'Ionian will go that far away when he tires of single liie. The Mr. Gardner you refer to seems as well contented with Evansville as the city is pleased with him.

We labor under the impression that when he goes on a matrimonial mission he will take a little tour over the Evansville & Crawfordsville line—to the northern terminus of that line, say.

HE who says that this Administration is not tending to a despotism which will trail our glorious stars and stripes into the dust, His attention is hereby called to this morning's Express. Let him turn to the flag, appearing over Gen. Hunter's speaking announcements, and he will there find our national banner reversed, the American eagle picking his beak into the dust, the Goddess of Liberty standing on her little head, all preparatory to being trampled iuto the dust by Caesar, Hunter fc Co. Sad bird, unfortunate goddess, glimmering stars, cheerful colors, all gone down before relentless and heartless haters of their previous purity.

WE heard the other day a gentleman of color logically reason on a species of popular sentimentality, thusly: "I amjustas good as any woman aud if she don't love me I am hotter-n her and don't want her, because she don't want me." This reasoning was superinduced by references to the follj* of men "drinking to drown" the remembrances of love unrequited. Theg. of c. went further in his logic, and reasoned that the man who gets drunk to drown the sorrow of a disappointment of this character is a d—n fool, and not deserving of the confidence of auybody.

If everybody so reasoned we doubt not that there would be less of drunkenness and a decrease in tlie lb of suicides.

St. Stephen's Church Improved. *t. Stephen's Church is undergoing !«methiug like the following improvements under the immediate supervision of Charles Felt us, of Race's Carpet Hall:

The ceilings are being painted sky blue the walls are being calcimiued in colors of a dove-hued tiuge the paunelings painted in ultra marine, the varnished woodwork will be recoated, all to be completed September 7th.

These improvements, aud others will make the interior of the Church, exceedingly attractive.

An addition of 1SX40 feet, will be added to the east end of the main building, t) be used for a Sunday School Chapel and Latin Service. The whole will be surmounted with a tall tower aud steeple, of graceful proportions and elegant architecture. If the tower and uteeple is as magnificent as we thick will be, it certainly would be a good investment to bedeck it with a chime of bells. Such a /eature to a Terre Haute Church would certainly be a novel and ggd attraptire o»e,

Another Railroad,

We are informed by President Tuell, that at a meeting of the Directors of the Terre Haute & Southwestern Railroad, held in this city,Saturday,they contracted with Darius C. Jackson, E-q., of New York, for the construction of that line to Robinson, Illinois, or a point equi-dis-tant therefrom. The teram of the contract are as follows: The contractor to begin work before the first of September, and to finish the road to the river by the first of July, 1S73 to York, Illinois, by the first of November, 1873, and to Robinsou within one year thereafter. All work to be done in first-class style in every respect."

The contractor, Mr. Jackson, is said to be a gentleman of rare ability, long and varied experience in railroad constructing, and entirely responsible and reliable.

Under such circumstances, we expect and hope to see the contract complied with in every respect, thus giving Terre Haute another outlet to the outside world. Eventually, we hope to see this line continued in construction until it penetrates the Iron Mountain district of Missouri, which will tend greatly to developing the coal regions round about and the building up of the material wealth of this, the young Pittsburg of the West.

Sliort but Sad Acquaintance. Alexander Crowe and C. Dresher met for the first time at an Iudranapolis saloon Saturday night. The latter spoke slightingly of the nationality of the former and was followed out into the street where Dresher shot Crowe three times, one ball entering near the heart and another the base of the brain, causing almost iustant death. Tne murderer fled, and hia victim wis tafken to the Surgical Institute, where n^j-iost mortem was had. He had several thousand dollars on his person, and papers showing that he had just came over from Scotland, also showing who to address in the old country if anything should happen to him. His friends were notified by cable, and his remains were embalmed and temporarily deposited in a vault to await their order for the disposition of the same.

The murderer was subsequently arrested and sent the following dispatch to his wife

MBS. C. DRESHEII, Springfield, Ohio Come, aud bring all the money you can get. I am in trouble. Let Katie sell the cow. C. DRESHER."

Both Dresher and Crowe were gentlemanly appearing men and strangers in the city as well as to each other.

Col. McLean at (ireencastle. There was a grand torchlight procession on Saturday night last at Greencastle, in the neighboring county of Putnam. Prom a geutleman who was there and witnessed the demonstration, we are informed it was a magnificent one, and done upon a scale of elaborateness never before witnessed in that place. It is represented as one of the largest night meetings, with one or two exceptions, ever field in the State. The vast throng was addressed by Colonel W. E. McLean, of this city, and we learn that the Colonel acquitted himself most handsomely, making perhaps the most eloquent, powerful and logical effort of his life. Here at home, Col. McLean is recognized as a speaker of much force, brilliauce add power, and we are glad that our Greencastle neighbors were so fortunate as to secure his valuable services for such a grand occasion. The Colonel is the candidate for Elector in this district. His valuable services have already been called into requisition in various parts of the State, aud in some of the adjoining States. He is advertised to make a thorough canvass of the district. We are glad to learn that old Putnam is fully alive to the political issues of the day, and that she will give a majority of 800 for the Democratic State ticket.— Journal.

NEW YORK, August 26.—The Herald's special from Geneva, says the work of the Court of Arbitration is drawiug to a close. All the arguments of the counsel having been submitted to the Court, and accountants are engaged in calculating the amount of damages occasioned by the operations of each one of the AngloAmerican rebel cruisers.

Accountants have completed this duty and certified to the totals. The arbitrators will render a court decision made upon the issue whether England is responsible, and what sum should she pay in recompense for American losses? An earnest contest is maintained regarding the case of the privateer Shenandoah. Considerable feeling has been shown by the English agents and couusel in consequence of the pertinacity of the Americans iu pressing the case aud asking compensation for damages sustained by the destruction of whaling ^hips. Some of the scenes in court were of a very exciting character. It is expected the Arbitration will render a decision upon the whole subject within two weeks.

NEW YORR, August 26.—A prize fight for a stake of $300 was fought at Weebawken, N. J., yesterday morning between Martin Crow and Jerry Murphy. Twenty-one rounds were fought iu fortyseven minutes, and a more desperate encounter between fistic professionals was scarcely ever witnessed in New Jersey. The men fought with great determination and with little regard to the rules of the prize ring. Murphy was declared victor, but both men presented a pitiable sight after the battle, and there is a probability that Murphy's wounds will prove fatal.

It includes Senator Sawyer, Attorney General Chamberlain, Senator Robertson, and all the prominent native white Republicans who are not prepared to see the State utterly given over to carpet-bag and negro misrule, simply because elements have proved strong enough to nominate a regular ticket. The bolters, according to these advices, are about to put an independent ticket in the field, an$ are consulting with the Greeley men with a view to compromise on candidates so as to receive their support.

VOL. 3. TERRE HAUTE, INI).: MONDAY AFTERNOON. AUGUST 26, 1872. NO. 73.

Mr. Colfax's Testimony.

We do not believe thai any of Geueral Grant's political friends here, so far, undertake to denounce Schuyler Colfax as a traitor, or to intimate that be is ignor Hit of the object for which the Republican party was formed, or of the hisiory of that party, or of what remains for that party yet to accomplish. Iu striking contrast to General Logan, Senator Morton, Speaker Blaine, and Simon Cameron, Mr. Colfax declares that the Republican party has completed its mission, and "has ceased to be necessary." Here is what he said to his friends in Indiana

Let me now join you iu congratulations on the final triumph of the principles I have so oftcu vindicated aud maintained before you. I believe that, to-day, there stands no party, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Lakes the North to the Gulf of the sunny South, there is no voice lifted against the principles which I have always enunciated and always defounded. it seems to tne that, perhaps, there could be no more convenient time that I could be transferred from an active to a retired life, where, relieved from all responsibilities, should share with you the triumph which Republican institutions have conferred upon the country, and which now seem so secure. This is all history now, and history let it remain. The great contest is over, because the subject of it has passed away. And the Republican party may be retained for other objects but of this the people must judge. But, for all the great principles of its organization, it has ceased to be necessary. We go forward now in the great work of the future, either with or without this party, astheneed9 of the country may require.

Mr. Colfax is not an eleventh-hour Republican. Unlike General Grant, General Logan, and Senator Carpenter, who waited until the Democratic party had been overcome and destroyed, he was among the original founders of the Republican party. He spent no time in the ante-chambers of Know-Notbing lodges, in Democratic conventions, or in missions to Richmond he was a Republican from the beginning, and fought the battle wheu the majority of the present leaders of the party were denouncing him as a

Black" Republican. Mr. Colfax declares that every principle for which the Republican party was established has become part of the Constitution of the country that its principles and policy have become history, and he insists that they must remain history, and must not be disturbed. He truthfully declares that at this time there is not in any part of the United States any political party which opposes any principle of the Republican party. The longer continuance of the Republican party to establish principles which have become constitutionally established, and to defend principles which no man opposes, is an absurdity, in which Mr. Colfax takes no share.—Chicago Tribune.

Blanton Duncan's Black Slieop. Blanton Duncan, ex-Know-Nothing member of the Kentucky Legislature, where he served one term without distinction, aud ex-Lieutenant Colonel in the Confederate army, where he always kept at a safe distance from "the perilous edge of battle," is making quite a figure in the Grant journals. This un easy, notoriety-courting individual, of whom Democrats know little, and that little not to his advantage, is just now filling the trump of fame in the Republican party as the original inventor and sole patentee of a bogus Democratic Con ventiou, which he has advertised to be held at Louisville, where he is a lawyer without practice, ou the 3d of September. His best known accomplices in this hopeful enterprise are Brick Pomeroy, exKev. Chauncy C. Burr, Mosby, the dashing rebel cavalry chief, and that redoubtable knight of the quill, poor old Aleck Stephens. These are the illustrious hotspurs who have taken upon themselves a self-appointed mission to pluck up drowned Democratic honor by the locks. Their zeal for Democratic consistency and Simon-pure Democratic principles is eliciting warm applause from the Grant editors, whose sudden sensitiveness for the honoripf the Democratic party is ohe of th{^courtesies of the period. The Democratic press have bestowed even less notice on this Blan~ ton Duncan than they would have given to Colorado Jewett, had that overdressed, erratic worthy uudertaken a similar mission fussy, disinterested vanity being more respectable than fussiness equally vain and foolish which is suspected of venal motives.

WeTespect the reluctance of some stiff", old-fashioned Democrats to vote for Mr. Greeley. So far as Democratic opposition to Mr. Greeley is honest, we have treated it with considerate deference, and have uttered against it no word of reproach. We have patience to reason with it, and if argunieut aud persuasion should be of no avail, we concede the rights of distontented Democrats to be true to their convictions and stay away from the polls. But a movement so plainly in the interest of Grant as Blanton Duncan's Louisville Convention is not entitled to the same respectful forbearance.—N. Y. World.

Special Telegram to the Cincinnati Commercial. Andy Johnson at Nashville—Mammolli Demonstration Last Night—15,i00

Teople in Attendance. NASHVILLE, August 24.—The largest demonstration that has taken place in Nashville in twenty years took place tonight in honor of Andrew Johuson. A torchlight procession escorted him to the public square, amid cheers of the multitude. The crowd was so great the movement of the procession was several times stopped. At the public square a concourse of fully fifteen thousand men greeted Andy with cheers that seemed to reach to the very heavens. When he arose to speak, from the balcony of the Court House, the tumult exceeded ail bounds. The crowd extended across the square from, the north to the south side, and from the Court House in the market-house. Mr. Johnson was fairly carried from his carriage to the top of a table on the Court House balcony. He. spoke nearly two hours, pitching into the caucus convention system generally, and dealing smarting blows to the military ring, that aspires to lead the people about by the nose. He said that he was not a candidate, and did not seek the position, but that the position had sought him, and that as he had never failed to obey the voice of the people, he would not now. He said the meeting was the most extraordinary within bis experience, that it was a mammoth people's convention that he would take the standard they had offered him and carry it over the State.

This announcement was received with cheers, lasting fully three minutes. He invited his enemies to meet him on the stump, which they will be slow to do.

OF all the humbugs that was ever instituted that of the Qrant organs, that there is a possible chance for the election of Grant is the greatest. It was with difficulty that he was elected over the Democratic party alone wnen he was popular and had not made his odious record. To say now that he can be reelected against that organization and forty per cent, of the Republicans, is simply the height of political extravagance.— Cincinnati Enquirer.

HAUTE DAILY GAZETTE.

SP, ^ial oorrcspotideuce New York World. WAS SHE MURDERED.'

I'lic Story of a Handsome Young Lady Sent to a Pest-house BOSTON, August 17.—During the past few days there has been on exhibition in the show-window of a book store on Washington street, a few doors north of the Journal office, the portrait of a very handsome young lady aud a reference to her age shows that—when iu the flesh —she had just become "sweet sixteen." One would not meet with a more pleasant or lovely face to look upon in all the show-windows on the street. But the picture is not a fancy one, and ni re than one passer-by, as he stopped to gaze upon the smiling face and sparkling, intelligent eyes, beneath a womanly forehead relieved by modest ringlets, has recognized it as being that of an artistic copy of a young lady who had time and time again, passed that identical shop window with a strap of books under her arm, either school ward or homeward bound. At the base of the portrait there was also a photograph of the young lady neatly surrounded with flower-work, and on either side a card iu mourning, on which was printed the following

WHOSE VICTIM

Look ou this picture and see one of the most promising girls in our Normal School. Can any one answer the query, Was she murdered? One day, feeling unwell, she left school earlier than usual shortly afterwards a skillful and wellknown physician wascalled In, (whohad attended her from infancy), and pronounced it a mild case of varioloid. Every precaution was taken that she was tenderly cared for, as only a widowed mother could care for her darling and only child. Her humane landlord, Dr. Ira L. Moore, peremptorily ordered that she be removed. Protestations and entreaties against her removal, as also the pleadings of her heart-broken mother to accompany her idolized child, were In vain. Within a few short hours she was placed in the hearse aud conveyed to the bog pen or pest house, and never afterwards seen alive or dead by relatives or friends.

The name of this girl was Martha Horton. I do not know who caused this picture to be placed in the show-window, nor am I acquainted with the motives of the party for exposing it to the public gaze, unless it was to advertise the physician who ordered the girl to be removed from her place of residence, or to cast ignominy upon the Board of Health. It is sufficient to say, however, that there is something loose somewhere in the management of epidemic diseases iu this city. It is highly probable that the fair victim iu this case was cast into the midst of the most aggravated form of smallpox, and died of it even unto rottenness and corruption in a few hours, whereas if Miss Horton had been tenderly cared for, she might to-day, have been alive to grace the circle in which she had moved.

THE Chicago Evening Journal amuses itself by enumerating and publishing the number of times it has demanded that we shall state one solitary instance in which Grant, since he became President or even siuce his nomination, has ac cepted a gift. It says it has already made this demand three times. We so seldom look at its editorial page that very likely it has done so. Now that we observe its importunate cry, we hasten like the ravens to Elijah, to answer its prayer for bread.

President Grant, as we have a score of times stated, has received, since he be came President, as a gift donated by various persons, of whom Thomas Murphy was one, the sum of $30,000, which he used In the purchase of a cottage at Long Branch. A. T. Stewart, of New York, certifies that wheu the subscription paper was handed to him, Murphy's name led the list, and it was being made up as a subscription by six persons at $5,000 each. He declined to be one. This instance was rendered more disgraceful from the fact that Grant afterwards appointed Murphy Collector of the port of New York.— Chicago Tribune.

EX-GOVERNOR BIGLER, of Pennsylvania, has written a letter defending his political views. He declares himself warmly in favor of Greeley's election. "Every utterance from Mr. Greeley goes to convince the public that in the exercise of the Presidential office he will evince great ability and courage, and an intelligence that will be very delightful, after so long a term of stinted felicities about the Presidential Mansion but many better things will be accomplished in his election, and among the best will be the inauguration of a new era of good will covering the whole country, and begetting true American fellowship among citizens of all parts, and tending directly, as such a feeling will, to the relief of weak and impoverished States, giving them increased population, capital and general thrift—a measure of vital importance, not only to such States, but affecting the growth and general welfare of all the others.

IK Secretary Boutwell's statement of the debt is correct, the interest on it, during the last fiscal year, should have been $114,396,105. Secretary Boutwell paid, as interest, during that year, $117,357,830.72. This shows that the people are paying, under Graut, $2,961,734.72 interest on bonds which are not included in the statement of the debt. Either this must be so, in which case the bebt is some $49,000,000 more than it is reported to be, or else there is a clear steal of some $3,000,000 a year under Boutwell's very eyes. When the Secretary of the Treasury recovers from his exertions in inciting the North Carolina negroes to murder their political opponents, be would do well to remedy this state of things by persuading the thieves to stop stealing, or else by making honest returns of the debt.
