TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1872.

THE Cincinnati Commercial says "Since the Liberal Republican party came into existence a few months ago, there seems to have been almost a total cessation of Ku Klux outrages in the Southern States. It is quite agreeable to be relieved from the publication of the horrible accounts of their operations, such as we formerly frequently received ftom South Carolina, Georgia and other State: We don't want to hear any more about the Ku-Klux, and trust they will disappear hereafter. They were an infernal crew, crnel and cowardly.

It will be remembered that all the political marauders disappeared from Missouri after the triumph of the Gratz Brown party two years ago. If the invention of Greeleyism has been the cause of their disappearance from the other Southern States, it has already done world of good. Perhaps the 'ti'IUmph of Greeleyism will secure the utter annihi Jation of the Ku-J^lux-Klan.'' A

I 'Jp

THAT emineit-aposfre of true' JDe'nioeracy, the'IndiamapolisJournal, publishes a call signed by the Secretary and acot#1mitteeof folir unknown individuals, for a Democratic State Convention,

to

at Indianapolis,. September,-19th,

meet

to

place

a State ticket in the fleldf in accordance with the action of $ne.delegates attending the Louisville {Convention.

Now, do our Straight-out Democratic friends want better evidence to assure them that this whole Bourbon movement is in_tfie direct interest of tHe Administration party, and organized by members of that party on money furnished by them They know very well the only way that leads to a Radical success in this State is but a masculine bouine path branching off from the old Democratic national road.

Let all true Democrats, and their Liberal allies, but stand united and the present campaign will result in a great and glorious victory in Ortober and No vember.

DOWN in Arkansas, on the 15th of August, a Grant convention was held, at the town of Napoleon, in which some 500 colored politicians and six whites participated. The successful candidate for the nomination of representative to the Legislature made a speech, in which he informed his hearers that Horace Greeley at one time lived in the South, where he pursued the avocation of a negro trader. This assertion was corroborated by a colored citizen, who said that at one time he belonged to Greeley, adding "Oh, golly how he did whip dis nigger!" Such is the stuff of which the Radical canvass is made among the ignorant negroes of the South.

A Warning.

One of the most instructive lessons to be learned, in studying the history of nations that have arisen to greatness, and then lapsed into decay aud ruin, is the prominent fact, that their decline dated from the period, when the love of wealth, ease and luxury became so general that venality and corruption pervaded all branches of the public service. When frugality, truth, honor and true piety are discarded, or little esteemed, it needs no prophet to predict with unerring certaiuty the destiny of such a people. Throughout the universe there are laws of compensation, by which the equilibrium and harmony of all nature is restored and maintained, and similar laws govern human society. A corrupt and venal people destroy themselves, and give place to others who live and grow in greatness so Tongas they are governed by correct principles.

Iu our own history, there surely never was a time when it was dfemanded more than the present that the cry of alarm and warning should be sounded from one end of the Union to the other. Wheu we recur to the swindliug operations that have been, attd teotitlmieto be practiced In ebunkftibnl wi$i !uf

drive from the public service, at least, all whose skirts are defiled by such infamy We now have a debt of over two billions of dpllarfe fastened upon us, oneAialf of Which has resulted from unwisercorraPt and venal ltegislation. The Govetninent has beeto controlled by avarice and cu* phiity the question not being how much we justly owed, but how great a burdeu would be borne by the people, without risking absolute repudiation.

^that .thev£c#fe^bdutd' ^**3 pff party fbrGreeley. The Genetal Ufcs long been

It has long been known that there were stupendous frauds being perpetuated in connection with the Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads, but we are now astounded with the statement, that many of our most trusted public officers, have been influenced by corrupt means to aid in the consummations of these outrageous frauds. Is it not high time that the people were aroused to a thrilling sense of the danger of our condition Is the public sense of right and wrong so deadened by familiarity with* venality and public theft, that the daily developments of peculation in high as well as low places, no longer produces any sensation I trust not. I still have confidence in the intelligent masses. Rome and Greece had not fallen if her people bad been educated as ours are. We have but recently shown ourselves equal to the successful prosecution of the most gigantic war, perhaps of any age, and .I despair not that there is truth and virtue enouge left with the masses, outside of political rings and corrupt partisans, to take hold of this matter, and hurl from place and power, the knaves who have abused their confidence.

For years past the very air has been filled with the suspicion that great frauds were being perpetrated in the public service, but our apprehensions have been quieted by the show of investigation that has been made by commictdes organized, not to J'errit out and expose corruption, but to excuse and cover it up from the public view. Thus things have gone on until the body politic has become so covered with putrifying sores that the thin ^)fbtection thrown over them by partisan committees can no longer conceal them'. Rottenness has eaten its own way to the surface and corruption steams from every pore.

In a Republican government where majorities govern, it is of the first importance that the electors should be left free to express their unbiased will iu regard to those who want to serve them as public officers. But what do we behold at this time? The whole business of the Government is well night suspended, and the seventy thousand office holders, whose salaries amounting to .many millions of dollars, paid by the whole people, are engaged night and day in covering up their crimes and misleading the public and money, too, is poured out like water, in the vain endeavor, I trust, of corrupting public sentiment and keeping in power the knaves now growing rich at the expense of the tax-payers.

It must be confessed that it is a herculean task to stem this current and restore the Government to "its\Wonted purity and fidelity, but it 'can more easily be done now than at any other'time, and then it is to be hoped the earliest opportunity will be availed of, to forever put a stop to official interference "in elections. It should be a crime for any public officer, receiving his appointment from the President, to spend either his time or his money in the service of any political party. The vast power of ttie Presidents of the United States is, I tear, not fulljr appreciated by the people. Do we consider that he is Commander-in-Chief of the army and navy, controlling alse,'in a eatmcaure, the public fuad£-. of th« uation. Executing or not, as he may think best, the laws orCongress, and commanding the services of sixty or seventy thousand'" office-holders, whose bread depends upon his will These are fearful powers for one man to possess, and how essential that he| should be intelligent and honest-^ At this time, when parties are cHsiptegrating, and new combination8'are forming, it is a good opportunity (to consider what reforms are .needed for our better protection in the future from fraud and imposition. Although emergencies may arise, when the incumbent might better be re-elected to a second term, there is no doubt the general rule should be one term for the President of the United States and surely there could be no better time than the present to establish this wholesome precedent. Let us have done with this wireworkiug of office-holders and dependents, by which unacceptable persons are thrust before the people for re-election to offices that they are known to be incompetent to fill. But for the pestilent interference of parties expecting personal favors, the best and most popular men would be brought out as candidates for office, and then there Would not be so Much fraud in conducting elections.

It is devoutly to be hoped that the intelligent masses will take these matters into serious consideration, and do th.eir part in handing down to posterity a good government, reflecting truly the will of the people, under which public officers shall be their servants, not their masters, and from whom iucorruptable fidelity to the public interest shall be exacted.

More About Gas.

Editor of Terrc Haute Gazette: The discussion in the City Council, on Tuesday evening last, upon the gas question, appears to have stirred up our citizens, and we are constantly getting new light upon this important subject. From the organization of the gas company up to two years ago, the coal used by the gas company here cost them from 42 cents to 50 cents per bushel. Since the opening of competition of freights here Pittsburg coal has come down to 22 and 24 cents per bushel. Every one who knows anything about gas is aware that coal is the principal article of cost in its manufacture. Here we see a saving then in this principal commodity to^the gas company of nearly 50 percent.

If any one has an idea that the gas company is not making legal interest on the capital stock, let him or her purchase some of the stock, and we will guarantee that it cannot be had to-day for $1.15 on the $1, and we doubt if it can be purchased for $1.20 on the $1. For j'ears pa^t our gas company has declared a semi-annual dividend of 5 per cent., with an occasional stockdividend with a large surplus. We think it can he shown that in the last year, say from July 1,1871, to July 1, 1872, the Terre Haute Gas Light Company has declared dividends of over 16 per cent. We think it can be shown thatJannary 1, last, it declared a divivend of 5 per cent., cash, that July 1, last, it declared a dividend of ten per cent, in stock, after paying its city, county and Government taxes, and has surplus enough on bauds to-day to complete all its contemplated improvements. Now, who pays these dividends? The citizens of Terre Haute. No one wishes to take from our gas company one jot of its rights. It should have a fair rate of interest on its investment, but we respectfully suggest that our people can be furnished gas at a much lower rate, and the gas company can make good dividends on its capital stock. It is the duty of the people to speak out in this matter, and is more especially the duty of our Council to see that the citizens are treated airly in this matter.

The Cry is Still tliey Come.

To the Editor of the jy, Y, Tribune: Sir General James D.' Morgan,' of Illiuois, who commanded the Second Division, Fourteenth Corps,, and it was considered at the time, saved Sherman army on an occasion of grtat emergency, and who-was till recently an ardent sup-}

orterof Grant, has come out flat-footed

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Indiana for Four Weeks.

If Indiana elects Hendricks in October, Grantites will yield Ohio, Illinois fid Wisconsin to Greeley. After the election in Maine, which comes off next Monday, the whole machinery of the Washington Administration will be concentrated on Pennsylvania and Indiana, and especially the latter, as that prince of corruptionist8, Simon Cameron, is con» Aden that the old Keystone can not be wrested from his power. Indiana will be flooded with speakers, from the Cabinet and the States, and money will be used by Morton as it was never before poured out in a political contest. The streams from the fountain head will pervade every county in theState. Negroes will be colonized from Kentucky and Illinois, and every rascally device resorted to to defeat Hendricks.

We venture to say that Indiana never witnessed so hot and bitter a political coutest, nor one where so much browbeatiug and terrorism were used, nor money squandered, as will mark the contest for the four weeks between the Maine and October elections. The struggle will be intensified by the conviction on the part of Morton that this is the crisisofhis fate as a politician, and by the consciousness on the part of the leaders of the Administration at Washington that unless they carry Indiana the whole northwest pretty much will be lost to them in November. With that conviction and consciousness death staring them in the face—the corrupt leaders now in power will have no scruples, no conscience, no shame, but, 'acting on the idea that the end justifies the means, will resort to all manner of frauds, bribery and corruption to obtain success. They will make Indiana a Sodom and Gomorrah of moral rottenness if thereby they can save themselves.

Triumphant for Twenty Years.—More than twenty years ago the MUSTANG LINIMENT made it's debut in the West. Its cures of the various external diseases of horses and cattle, astonished the planters and farmers of 'the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys, and a demand for it sprung up which necessitated its manufacture on an extensive scale. Soon the discovery was made that it was a grand specific for rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, eareacbe, toothache, and other external ailments of mankind. Then it was tried as a healing, pain killing application, in cases of outward injury, such as cuts, bruises, burns, spasms, etc., and was found equally serviceable. The fame of the new remedy for some of the most painful ills that afflict mankind and the lower animals, spread rapidly, and MUSTANG LINIMENT soon took rank in every State and Territory of the Union as a STANDARD CURE.

Retirement froin#he Retail Dry Goods Business

OF ONE OF THE

OLDEST AND LARGEST HOUSES IN THE CITY!

We, in common with most of our citizens, have recently been surprised by the decision of Messrs. Tuell, Ripley & Demiug to go out of the retail trade in order to

engage exclusively in the wholesale dry goods business. The retirement from the

retail trade of this old-established aud successful firm

Will Place New Responsibilities Upon Us.

We accept them cheerfully. This community have always found us ready to

extend our business and to add new attractions to our establishment as rapidly as

the necessities of the town have required. In fact, we have always felt disposed to keep in advance of the actual requirements of the situation, for we are not of the

number of those "doubting Thomases" who prognosticate a snail's pace growth for our city. We believe in Terre Haute and in her destiny. We place no bounds for

her future growth and greatness. Her enterprise is marvelous, her opportunities

unmeasured. So if we are ahead of her actual requirements to-day, we know that we will not be to morrow. We have some grand projects in our head, to be worked

out among you li*4he future. EVery month of every year we shall seek to add

something to the attractiveness and completeness of our establishment, uutil we shall be able to preseut t® our citizens the most inviting, exteusive and thorough metropolitan dry goods store to be found in the State.

As Messrs. Tuell, Ripley & Demingjiave decided to retire from the retail trade,

we especially invite any of their former customers to make their purchases of us in the future, promising tlVem pleasant and honorable treatment, and the lowest
