The Gas Qnostion.

In recent issues of the GAZETTE we havo thrown out some suggestions in re card to lighting our city with gas The more the subject is contemplated the more deeply we are impressed with the paramount importance of decisive action in regard to the matter. When good gas can be manufactured at less than one dollar per thousand feet, it is shameful for the consumers of it in Terre Haute to be charged four dollars per thousand ieet. We know that there are a good many expenses attending the holding and distribution of gas, that should be added to the simple cost of manufacturing but we are satisfied two dol'ars and fifty cents per thousand feet will cover nil expenses, and afford liberal dividends on the capital necessarily in vested in the works.

We have already suggested that another gas company can be organized, that will enter into unequivocal stipulations in regard to the quality of the gas to be furnished and the price to be charged, both to public and private consumers, and we think steps should be taken at once to perfect those measures This new company having for its leading object the general good, the City Council should take stock to the amount of fifty thousand dollars, and then our citizens will readily take an equal amount, the book-? being kept open for the purpose, and no one to be allowed to take more thau five hundred dollars worth of stock. It should, we think, be the policy of the city at all times to control half the .stock of the company, so that the Council, acting with the individual stockholders, could from time to time adopt such judicious measures as the public interest demanded. The city would also have the right to buyout the individual stockholders, whenever, in the opinion of the freeholders, the public good required it. We should thus lay the foundation of a beneficial institution, by which our city would in all time to come be furnished with one of the necessaries of life at a fair cost to the people. We trust this matter will receive the attention that its importance demands.

MR. JOHN JONES and 112 other colored citizens of Chicago have issued an illjudged address to the negroes of the country. Passing over a few weak flings at "soreheads'' and "traitors," we come to this remarkable paragraph

We are told that Mr. Greeley, and Sumner, and Trumbull, and others have been our most faithful friends. We acknowledge all thev have done for us, and thank them accordingly and, when they desert ns to worship another shrine, we must part company with them without any regrets.

The phrase we have italicised is significant. If our colored citizens think they ought to be worshiped, they are sadly mistaken,and|wi!l|di$cover the fact when their present leaders are through using tluin.

"GRANT'S electiou will be a misfortune- because it will put iu a man without ahead or heart, indifTereut to human suiJering, and impotent to govern." That is what Gen. Duller wrote of (•ii-n. Grant iu a letter to W. Junes, Neenah, Wis., dated Bay View, Mass., August 25, 1SG7. "We want four more years of Grant." (Recent speech of Gen. Butler at Milford, Mass.) Four more years of what, oh fickle Benjamin—of "a man without ahead or heart of a man "indiliVreut to human suffering of a man "impotent to govern

THE country is settling do»vn to the conviction that Senator Wilson in his denial that he ever was a jaember of the Know-Nothing party, has lost either bis memory or bis honesty, with the odds largely, in favor of tbe latter proposition.

THE Administrationists are insulting the Irish by claiming that they are hiding to their ticket. We beg leave to doubt it for it would be on our part au insult to the intelligence of the Irish voters of the country if we could believe that they could bind themselves to a party which has selected as one of its standard-bearers a convicted KnowNothing and anti-Catholic like Henry Wilson. As well might the Israelites of our country vote for General Grant.

THE Liberal cause in Central and Western Pennsylvania is sweeping everything before it. The unpopularity of Hartranft in these sections of the State is so marked and widespread that the Grant speakers refrain from mentioning his name when addressing their slimlyattended meetings. Gentlemen well posted as to the drift of political preferences express the belief that Buckalew's majority in October will exceed twenty thousand.

Additional Local Xews.

Partisan Politic*.

The Rev. E. F. Howe, pastor of the Congregational Church, this city, preached a very substantial and sensible sermon on the theme appearing in the above caption, at the above-referred-to structure, last evening. He did not deliver a partisan sermon, however, disclaiming at the outset any idea of making a stump speech from the pulpit. He believed all men should take a deep interest in politics but that they must exercise their best judgment in choosing sides, and then be charitable to those opposed to them. He took the position that the slander of politicians keep good men out of politics, and that the covering up of the faults of public men is detrimental to the best interests of our country that when a man enters the arena of political life, if his private character is at fault to a degree rendering him incompetent to the office to which he aspires, it should be made public and if the party leaders refused then to throw him overboard, let them pay the penalty of an outraged constituency by defeating him at the polls. Independence in politics is worthy of the highest commeudation, and it should damage a party to falsify the motives of those who see fit to differ with it, and array themselves on the opposite side. Such things transpire daily in the religious world. Even preachers of great prominence see fit to change their religious opinions, and they have a right to do so, if their consciences so dictate. The existence of two parties in politics ever has been and ever will be, while politics are imperfect and it is to the best interests of the country that such should be the case. But above all things let parties be honest in dealing with each other, for the sake of truth, if not for the credit of themselves.

The above is a mere outline of the drift of Mr. Howe's remarks, of which we made no notes and we commend it to all parties as sound reasoning—a sermon calcidated to do good.

Pole Raising.

Notwithstanding the Journal protested against the pole raising nuisance, we observe that it reports such proceedings. From this source we learn that the pole raising of the Democrats and Liberal Republicans of the Fourth and Fifth wards was a success that an altitudinous pole was elevated, and that the Hon

W. Voorhees made a speech. The attendance was quite large and much enthusiasm prevailed. When this demonstration had subsided, those present repaired down town to witness the Grant procession, and afterwards went to the Temple, where they listened to interesting speeches from Wendling and Voorhees.

AN inquisitive youth from Newport was in the city Saturday afternoon, looking up curiosities. Among other things he found a neat sign tacked up against the door-facing of D. B. Otis' store, on Main street, which read, "paint." The lad reposed his spinal column against the opposite facing of the door, and pensively reclining his unkempt head forward, he carefully spelled the word and after making a careful examination of the back of his baggy broad cloth coat, went away sorrowfully with many mild though profane protestations against luck.

Straightforward the youth sought McArthur, and was renovated.

WE never before saw so many inebriated men at a Republican meeting, as we did Saturday evening. They were constantly interrupting the speaker with 'rati fur Grant 'rah fur John A. Logan, and such like exclamations in the midst of the Geueral's sentences. To such a degree did these fellows follow this practice, the speaker became disgusted, and suggested that some of them make a speech, as they could make more noise than he could. There is something significant about this can anybody guess what it is

THIS issue of the GAZETTE is especially devoted almost exclusively to politics. This, no doubt, does uot agree with all our patrons but as nearly all news at present is of a political character, we can present them with nothinir else. Such as do not like so much politics, we can console with the reminder that this campaign will last but a few weeks longer— aud then we will have peace and fraternity throughout all our land of present plenty and prosperity—that is if Mr. Greeley is elected.

A FRF.IOTTT train of the Iudiauapolis & St. Louis Railroad, while running at full speed near Indianapolis Saturday night, struck an inebriated Irishman, and precipitated him some thirty feet to the right oblique. Tbe engineer stopped the train aud went back after the presumed mangled remains, found the prostrate son of Erin dead^—drunk, and took him to Indianapolis, where he was lodged in the §taJe,Hoiise to spber off.

For the Gazette-

Thc Grant Procession.

The past fortnight has been a busy one to the adorers of the "military sphynx." Gen. John A. Logan was to speak in Terre Haute. Countless torches were to touch oft the biggest guu in the Radical arseual, and Liberalism, both Democrati and Republican, was to be blown atoms. Some local small arms were to aid in this sanguinary work of annihila tion. There was to be no foolishness about this thing. The faithful were ex horted to be on hand. Dishon's boards and boards not Dishon's, fences and tree boxes, in this and adjacent counties, wer white and yellow with entreaties to be on hand. Trees were pressed into service and old giants of the forest whose high est hope had been, living to shelter and dead to warm the body or perhaps cook the dinner of some good old Liberal were made by the prayers covering their trunks to fire the hearts of the truly "loil" and cook the goose of the Liberals. So thick were these inflamables that the strong east wind bore them across the Wabash, nor did they find lodgment till the fences and trees in Uliuois gave it them. The railroads were made useful in spreading intelligence of the coming demolition of Liberalism in Vigo. Wagon loads of torches and uniforms were presented to and deposited in the outer townships, by Gen. Filbeck. Halffare trains from every direction were secured. The

popular

breast far and wide

was wrought up to a "fine phrenzy Liberalism was to be dazed by the glow of torches, and the Democratic heart terrified by a Babel of noises.

Or if not this, a certain numerous lot of political floaters kuown to the Ex press were to be attracted by the "pomp and circumstance of glorious torchlight" to the side of Grant aud victory. Nothing was left undone by the managers to make this what they said it would be and the people expected—"a crusher," "a regu lar smasher." Long, frequent and anxious were the consultations of the Generals many the orders issued from headquarters. A coat-tail seen spinning round the corner was certain, on investigation (you had to run to the corner at top of your speed to make it), to be found attached to the flying form of General Filbeck or Rear Admiral Hook, or some other war-worn and battle-scarred opponent of clasping hands across the bloody chasm. But time flew while the nimble-fingered Generals, Colonels, et al., plied the scissors and wrestled with the oil cau, filling and trimming lamps. No repetition of a certain girlish neglect should cousign them to outer darkness when the Logan came. The eventful morning came. Under the eagle eye of R. A. Hook as if by magic, in the Court House square arose a capacious stand, surrounded by seats and festooned with what resembled the flag of our Union, saving that instcad'of the customary stars Grant's face occupied that portion of the sacred bunting. Here aud there was one with the tanner and cobbler in the role of the Siamese twins trying to kiss each other. Whether there were stars there but dimmed by the "awful splendor of Wlysses' lace" as the sun pales the stars of heaven or obscured by the cloud of smoke from his cigalas clouds obscure even the sun, or whether it was considered that iu a "swap" of the stars for "the" face the flag was the gainer, and so that was done, is not known. Certain it is there were no stars—at least Liberal saw them not, if Grantites did. But then the Grantites are in a state of preparedness for seeing stars. The day wore on and trains came iu from every quarter, loaded with human freight. It became evident that torches sufficient to arm the hosts were not on hand, and a committee was sent to ask the Liberals for ajloan of theirs and 200 lamps which had lit up the way to glory for Daniel a few nights before were lent to the lions, and will uo doubt as safely return as a centain Daniel of old did from a certain den. This exchange of civilities is pleasant aud the gleam of neighborly sunshine it affords in the midst of heated political discussion is alike creditable to all concerned. Something was said in the afternoon by one of the captains of the hosts about the "G.'s" having to get the "g.'s" to carry their torches for them, and the answer was made that if one had to be "histed" it was pleasantest to be "histed" with his own petard. That subject is exhausted. The twilight shadows fell upon the town, and champing Roziuantes bore hurrying marshals, Generals, etc., etc., summoning the hosts. Borne on the startled air came from the wigwam a yell whose euding strain sounded like million, and fears began to be entertained that Greeley's goose was cooked sure enough. It proved on investigation, though, to be the marshaling howl of an individual who was trying to get together the torch bearers from Vermilliou couniy.

He got them, aud when last seen, one small boy among them, the smallest aud weakliest looking of the crowd, was observed laboring under the weight of the candidate for County Clerk. "Mute, the Camel labors with the heaviest load,

And ttie Wolf dies in silence." But this is really imposing on a poor boy away from home and his mamma and that lacteal fount where from youth is wont to draw refreshment and strength. Don't crowd the infants, gentlemen! This Vermillion episode will explain to any who happened to be passing the Wigwam, the otherwise cabalistic yells such as Parke, Sullivan, Clay, Putnam, Chveu, Marion, Edgar, Cole, Crawford, Kansas, etc., etc.

The line was a long time in forming aud patience was beginning to become a virtue to the watchers on the corner of Sixth, and .Main .when the word was passed around "Here they corae!" and as the quick glancing eye turned up Main the head of the column could be,, seen^luniiog the coruer*of Ninth street. But what monstrosity is that at the head?

company in honor of the occasion and are rising twin-like above the eastern hills? Have two truant locomotives escaped the imprisonment of the round house and started abreast down the mule track at the front of the column There were the two great eyes flooding with light, every hole and corner of the street in their front, dazzling the eye and hiding all behind. Things were beginning to look ominious and thoughts were eutei taiued of foreswearing a hitherto deej.rooted faith in Greeleyism and joining the cause which had chained to its will this unknown monster. Perhaps it was some infernal machine. A curiosity more devouring thau fear kept the forlorn Greeleyites chained to the spot. On it came, and fear partly fled when it was discovered to be a nondescript afiair on wheels, drawn by horses and covered with boys bearing torches, and with a locomotive headlight on each side. A transparency on top conveyed the startling information that somebody had threshed somebody else once before and was going to do it again. Fear returned. Perhaps it was filled with armed men, like that which took old Troy. The lion's skin inspired terror, but it passed on and the tail of the ass was disclosed, and in the flaming advertisement on the end, in the view of the marching host came recognition of the old threshing machine, which has been for sale on the public square all summer. Fit emblem, old friend of the cause, you typified and headed, never happy or useful, unless threshing, you have not yet found a purchaser. Be patient. Come down a notch, and, perhaps, e'er you ape discarded, you-may find a purchaser as often as Ulysses has. Remember that he ha3 been oji-Uie market longer than you have. Make him your model, and, perhaps, $25,10J(X) more than you ask for yourself, will be given, aud Seneca stone (though that would not agree with you as well as it has with Ulysses) and 5-20's and law libraries (you need a library) and houses by the sad sea waves, and horses and cigars and bull pupe will be yours. Chaw up everything that is given you, old friend. Next came nine Brigadiers, mounted each on a separate charger, and in their midst the gallant form of Surgeon General Preston, ready, doubtless, to bind the wounds of his comrades, should any of them, with reckless bravery, approach too near the monster at the head, which, being hungry from long fasting, might attempt to "chaw them up." Next came the menagerial chariots, with a precious cargo of Generals, Colonels and ring-masters.

Then a wagon with infants, too small to walk, then the band, aud then the host itself. On they came, ward after ward, four abreast, a great wave of red aud blue capes, and flaming torches. The Express office was out in force, panoplied in righteousness? and clad in a bomb proof coat of (Saturday Evening) Mail, aud last week's exchanges. New York Tribune's were carefully discarded calculated to make soreheads and hearts if worn as helmets. Ou they came, men and boys, boys and men, Hoosiers and Suckers. Main street from Ninth to Second, and, perhaps, more, was one sea of flame. Lungs were taxed to their uttermost, and Grant was well 'rahed. Transparencies were numerous, expressing doubts as to wholesomeness of crow as an article of diet.

One hundred and sixty American citizens of African descent, were near the end of the line, and seemed bent ou mischief toward that arch traitor, thievish bound, lying old rascal, and ancient, bitter foe of their race, Horace Greeley. Somewhere in the procession was a transparency bearing the image of a battered and torn, old hat, with the superscription when this old hat was new." Its position is forgotten. It should have been at the head of the column, and Sumner, Brown and Julian's names should have been on it. Imagine, reader, that old hat at tbe head of 160 colored torch bearers. Imagine it gifted with speech. Imagiue it saying to them: "When I was" new, young Horace Greeley then struggling from poverty to position espoused the cause of liberty, and armed with Jiis pen, in the face of jeers and sneers atTlie "weak sentamentalism of Lis maudlin philosophy" set about convincing thirty millions of unbelievers that slavery was wrong. I had scarce become worn at all before he was the worst hated man in America and a price was set upon the head I sheltered. This mud here, those ho'es there were got in fierce fight, but I covered a big brain aud shadowed a bigger heart and now,I, crowning the head that has grown white in the service of freedom am the true liberty cap, dear to all, but especially dear to you in defending whose rights I have grown old.

Imagine that,reader, and then imagine 160 colored men shooting down side streets and alleys, "running to their houses, falling on their knees aud praying to God to intromit the plague that needs must light on such ingratitude," and you will get a very good idea of an entirely harmonious, anything-to-

beat-Greeley procession. A squad of horsemen brought up the rear. It was a big procession. The biggest that has ever been in Terre Haute. Hands grown delicato in the use of scissors on coupons, taper fingers, accustomed to dalliance with my lady's fan, clutched alike the broom handle bearing a torch. Comparisons of a dozen counts makes the whole number of torches borne in line between fifteen and sixteen hundred. It would be safe to say there were three hundred boys—twelve hundred voters in liue. Is this the Radical strength in Vigo? But were there not men 'there, not from Vigo? Is Liberalism crushed? What is the logic of torchlights? Lies it in the fact that speakers do not begin their harangues until after honest folks' bedtime, and that drousy men are more open to conviction Or is it that there really exists .a class of political floaters, voting

Cau it be thafesun and m'ooh have joined driftwood, which finds the current of belonging to them

events by the glare of torches, atid to wh(»m noise aud logic are syuonyms If -uch a class exists, their path of duty before October comes will be illumined by a procession of Vigo voters, to which that of Saturday night will be as a rush light to th glorious KIIII.

BERLIN, Sept. 9.—The grand conference which was to take place to-day between the German, Russian and Austrian Emperors has been postponed, and will probably take place at the end of the present week.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 9.—It is stated that ex-Grand Vizier Mah Moud Pachi has been sentenced by the Sultan to imprisonment, and his estates confiscated, in consequence being found guilty of malversation to the extent of one huudred thousand pounds sterling.

NEWARK, Sept. 9.—A special to the Times, from, Augusta, Me., cauvassing the prospects o( the Republicans in that State, says shal the. State has been carried by the Republicans uninterruptedly for the past eighteen years, and anticipates a majority of 20,000 'for Governor to-day, should the weather proveJavorable for polling a full vote. The canl^pss closed in the State Saturday night, with grand demonstrations iu the principal cities. The meetings were well attended, and the determination to win Republican votes unalterable.

A new correspondent says that from every point, save one, comes good tidings, larger on account of the liquor question, which promises to disappoint just expectations. In Portland the Republicans promise to hold their own on the cider question.

The Herald's special from Portland says it is generally conceded by Democrats that the majority will be 10,000 votes, and the more discerning among the opponents claim 15,000. In the First Congressional District Hie Republicans will have from 8,000 to 12,000 majority over Clifford, and in the second 5,000. Every effort is being made to poll a full vote. Bangor, Portland, Bath and Seiverton are sure of a Republican majority.

A special to the Tribune from Portland says the prospects are that the majority of 1868 will be reduced about 10,000.

The Tribune reviews the Maine canvass at some length and says the Liberal movemeut in that State has afforded magnificent opportunities for a generalship which has not been forthcoming. The uprising has been an essentially popular one but had not been managed with ability. Only a few speakers have been brought into the State, and these have not always been used prudently. They have lost many opportunities of being heard and that without much reference to any plan.

Despite these drawbacks the sentiment of the people is unmistakably Liberal, and the under-current is powerfully Liberal, and properly developed, it would win a great and overwhelming victory. The Liberals have fought against great odds, and deserve a nobler result thau they will reach.

NEW YORK, September 9.—The much-tilked-of "bronze monument of Walter Scott arrived Saturday. He is represented iu a.sitting position, wrapped in Scotch plaid, his faithful, favorite dog at his feet. The statue is over six feet high, aud will be mounted ou four granite pedestals, ten feet high, consisting of polished, Aberdeen grauice. The statue is the gift of Scotch residents in this city. It will be uncovered on St Andrew's day. The various Scotch Societies, in full Highland costumes, and the TwentyFifth Regiment of Highlanders will parade.

The German eight-hour league, whose strike for a reduction of hours resulted so disastrously a few weeks ago, met yesterday to wind up the affairs of" the league. The speakers urged that the cause must still be maintained. It is intimated that at a near day the strike will be resumed.

A great hilarity prevailed yesterday among the Internationals, at the news of the decision by Congress at France, to change the location of tbe General Council from London to New York.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—The Charleston Courier estimates the cotton crop for the present year at 8,400,000 163,600,000 bales.

CINCINNATI, .Sept. 9.—Amotion to expel the firm of E. L. & T. S. Johnson, pork packers,' from tfi#€tfamber pf {Commerce for unmercantile conduct was voted ou to-day and created a most intense excitement. The vote «mu1

There is much excitement over the matter, aud it is thought it will make a division In the Chamber of Commerce.

THE editor of the Administration organ in this city, also Terre Ignite agent of (lie Associated Press, should have heard Mr. Howe's sermon on "partisan politics." Had he heard and heeded he would not have telegraphed to the hundreds of papers of the Associated Press that over 2,200 were in the Logan line previous to the speaking. There were not over 1,60), we think hardly that uiauy^rom the best counts we could get, from both sides.

WHILE General Logan was speaking the other evening, and when he had just made an allusion to "the beautiful stars that twinkle in the firmament above us," an inebriated Grantite standing in front of the speaker, and who made himself rediculously conspicuous during the entire speech, blurted out "(Hie) bu-r-rah for the s-t-a-r-s!" At this point the audience gave vent to long pent up merriment in loud and long continued laughter.

MB. CHRIS. WALLACE, of Prairieton township, called on us Friday morning last, on his return from the Louisville Convention. In answer to our question as to what he thought of the convention and its action, he replied "The whole affair was a big humbug, unworthy the support of Democrats! The latter part of the proceedings were simply a wild mob!"—Journal.
