states that there will be
not less than fifty straight Dehlocrats irom this county who \vjlLgQtotlie Louisville Convention.—Express.
We think Joseph must be excited There will not be five straight Democrats go to the Louisville Convention, from,this. section of the State, from thesipaple fact that there are not live straight Democrats here. Blake may go, and so may Edmunds, but we have heard of no other person's name mentioned as favoring. that movement.
There is not the remotest probablity that the Terre Haute Journal will ever advocate the election of Horace Greeley. The time has gone by for JMr. JEdnp.und^( to do so, and retain any respect in political circles for consistency. His friend/s need expect nothing of the kind from.. him, and to be further, d^ceivjed by his quasi promises is serious blundering. The four hundred Liberal |tepubljcang of this county who intend to support Horace Greeley, and the State ticket headed by Thomas A. Hendricks, desire to know if the organ, of the Democratic party is to remain in hostility to Mr. Greeley, and they be expected to cast their votes for the county ticket. Thfe ia a question which gentlemen most directly interested had better have at pi^ce determined. We must not underestimate the strength of our adversary, and we must not leave undone that which ought to be done to secure a complete triumph. Let us have a fair, honest And settled understanding. We.bave^u^a few weeks more to work in, and that-: work must be effective, apd ,to the poiuJt.,
THE split among tb© Palmetto State carpet-baggers is bringing various interesting speculations to light. For example, a "South Carolina Land ComipjsH sioii" was chartered by a late Legislature and given $700,000 of. State funds to "buy land for the landless." The Commis--sioners, having thus stolen the garb of heaven, proceeded,to serve the. devil with, cheerful alacrity. They bought "Hellhole Swamp," near Charleston, for $26r 100, and turned it over to the State for $120,000. The whole $700,000 went, and not one of the landless got any land. These, and other frauds, .were ordered to be investigated. Tbe investigqtio/i vap superintended by the Hon. Joseph Clewsf who speut just $168,000 in doing^ nothing. This honorable rascal submitted a bill Of" items. One of them was$75,000 for legal advice from a certain gentleman. This latter at once announced that he had given no advice and received- no fee. Somebody suggested that Mr. Clews' Investigating CQm mittee £t|oukl £e investigated. Mr. ClewsTcheerfully remarked that two could, play.atthatgama, and that he would take half the L^islkuirte. to tbe penitentiary withr -biiQr- The subject was dropped by ggnet&l.consent

Edmunds says, however, that he is not iu favor of, and will not support the Louisville nominee but thjs is only his. street talk, and what he ,will.dor, ancj what his paper will do, is just as upqerr. tain as what he has done and will continue to do. He says hp is not for GipSjt, not for Greeley, and will not support the action of the Straightouts. It is an easy matter to find out, on all occasions, wfcat the editor of the Terre Haute Journal is not for, but what he favors is difficult. to learn. He opposes ten things when he favors one. Now, he is opposed sdgipg, and have concluded the present the election of two candidates nomi-T~ n™,* in trfiofiera to tho whrtli nated by the two great parties of tbe country, and has already annbunce^ Wat he will oppose the election of the third. Who Edmunds will, theref9re,«frot£ .for, is in the dai'k and mysterious future. Our judgment is, he will not vbfce at all. His nature is so crooked, and his disposition so obstinate, that he-will not Jo tbe very thing he ought to do, and surely do just that which he oug&t not to do.

The Gas Question,
We have read a number of interesting articles written by Mr. Rugan, the acco^lirib^d, S^perin^ndfnt of- our GasWj^ks ant^thjjpk the^ company are fortune in hiving aecur^l the services of so able aMdvocateof their interests but, notwithstanding all this, the consumers of gas in Terre Haute labor under the impression that they are not exfictlyfairly dealt with. They have got some peculiar ideas in their heads that we imaging even all the science and logic of Mr. Rugan will not remove, until some chapges shall have been made. They have confidence in Mr. R.'s ability to ma^e good gas, and to reduce the cost of manufacturing to a minimum, and if he could be authorized to publish a full statement of the aflairs of the company, showing the actual capital paid in, the expenses necessarily incurred in operating the works, and the net cost per thousand feet of gas, the first important step would be taken in bringing about abetter understanding between the gas company and their patrons. The people now are very much in the dark in regard to the whole matter, and under the circumstances are compelled to form their opinions from general information. They believe that four dollars per thousand feet
for
gasis an exorbi
tant price, that the company have been, and expect to continue, extending their works, not upon legitimate capital paid in, but from excessive profits taken from the pockets of the people that gas can, and should be furnished at tivo dollars and fifty cents per thousand feet, at which price dividends in cash of from eight to ten per cent, might be paid upon the capital actually invested in the works.
If the policy of extending stock dividends is intended to deceive the public, it is a shallow scheme, and will fail of its purpose, as the people have come to understand very well what "watering stock" means. It had its origin in the idea of fraud, and its continued practice has no other significance. If an increase of capital stock is required to meet the extended operations of any incorporated company, it should be publicly offered for subscription, with a statement showing tbe amount needed, and the purpose for which it is required Nor will it serve any clandestine purpose had in view, to pub lish exaggerated statements of the cost of gas works. Years ago, when these works were being introduced in the West, partie^ interested in deceiving the public, enveloped th^ whole business, in suph mystery, that it was generally imagined tj}$t the most profound ..skill and scientific knowledge were required to produce tliip wouderful thing, and distribute it oy^r a city. At that time, but few people had^any just conception of the cost of erecting gas works, or of the expense of Operating them, and it was easy then to gi,ve currency to the most extravagant statements. But things have changed, and there is now no difficulty in estimating within very narrow limits, what a gas work of any desired capacity should cost, nor is there'anything to prevent the making of Accurate estimates of the cost of manufaqWing gas at any particular locality
The people of Terre Haute are liberally disposed, and are perfectly willing to see generous profits realized on the investmept of capital in public improvements, but they want to know what they are is a good time to investigate the whole master. They are aware the city has some kind of a contract or understand ing by which twenty-five or thirty per cent, too much is paid for the gas used in the public lamps of the city but they are, happy to know, that it is quite out of the power of any City Council to bind them to pay any particular price for gas, or po use it at all, if they do not want it.
Tbe consumers of gas in Terre Haute haying made up their minds fully that they will not longer pay an exorbitant price for gas, the company, may shortly find itself without patrons, unless an adjustment ,is promptly made under which the, rights of both parties shall be fairly rec9gnized and protected.
In our further discussion of this matter,! we hope to be able to lay before the readers of the GAZETTE some facts which they ought to know in relation to thi^ .gas question, and so concentrate public opinion that tbe consumers of gas in this city will not, in the future, be coin pell jid to pay such an exorbitant price.
WE are afraid we shall have to give up ,the,old maxim in vino Veritas. The Hon. Zachariajbi Chandler made a speech at Orapge on Saturday night, and came no nearer to the truth than this Lyman Tru,mb,ull has beeu a barnacle and sorehead ever since 1860 Horace Greeley is a Democrat and Secessionist,and pledged to.pay the rebel debt there are only thr^e Republicans in Detroit who will vote for. Greeley,, and very few Demo cratjs. These are fair specimens of the honorable gentleman's assertions and really,- considering the weather and his tiqap of life, his tempting the fate of An anl^s in this manner is not without cour age.
IN the Third District of Alabama the ta^es on spirits, tobacco, fer'vented liqiprs, and banks amounted, in 1871, to $22,330.79. The sum appropriated for collecting these taxes, for the fiscal year 1872-73, is $16,000. This is a fraction over 71 jer cent, for expenses of collection. In the First District of Georgia the taxes on these four articles, during 1871, were $41,929.87. The sum appropriated for collecting these taxes, for tbe fiscal year J&72-^3, is $24,000. This is a fraction over 57 per cent, for expenses of collection Dq the people think that this is economy? _____

EVIDENCE continues to accumulate showing that Judge Merrimon was undoubtedly elected Governor of North Carolinft by a majority of from 5,OOP to$ 10,000 of all the legal votes cast at the recent eleotion. It.is equally true th*$ the* election returns, will be made to showthat the election of his opponent, Todd R. Caldwell, the present incumbent of the office, by a majority, it is claimed, of less than two thousand. How this result is to be brought about can easily be explained.
MRS. MINNIE MOREAU, late wife of the Hon. Will C. Mareau, of Indiana, obtained a divorce from her husband in Indianapolis last week. Mr. Moreau says he Will if he can get along without her, but he knows not what the Moreau may bring forth.
THE most popular man of the day, with the Grant papers, is the Hon. Charles O'Conor. Gen. Grant is for a time almost neglected that they msy sing the praises of the expected Louisville nominee.
AN Illinois editor looked at the aurora borealis, and immediately broke out in the following strain "Here we lean, over the verge of the infinite, longing to grasp its mysteries* lost in the profunditiesjof immensity."
Clap-trap and Cant.—Invalid reader, if you are unwise enough to put yourself outside of any of the mock tonics guaranteed to contain "no diffusive stimulant," you will inevitable come to grief. Ask your pbysicisn if any liquid preparation, destitute of stimulating properties, is worthy of the name of a tonic. He will tell you no. Shun all such nauseous catchpennies. PLANTATION BITTERS, the most wholesome invigorant in the world, owes the rapidity with which it relieves tbe disordered stomach and the shattered nerves to the diffusive agerit which conveys its medicinal insrredients to the seat of the complaint. That agent is the spirit of sugar cane, the most nutritious and agreeable of all the varieties of alcohol. The medicinal ingredients of the Bitters, valuable as they are, woulo be comparatively useless witout this distributive basis. They would ferment and sour. Beware, as you hope for health, of the horrible compounds of refuse druirs in a state of fermentation which humbugs are endeavoring to foist upon the public as medicines.
It is a mark of the unsuccessful man, that he invariably locks his stable door when his horse has beeu stolen. This sort of wisdom never thinks about bodily health until it is gone. But just as much as any disease has become seated, the power of the system to resist anq throw ft off is weakened hence time, is all important. For dyspepsia* ail diseases of the liver, stomach, skin arid, kidneys, and all that begin in vitiated blood, do not wait until the .trouble is confirmed, but attack it by a timely use of DR.
