Additional Local News.

L. A. B(TRNETT, ESQ., and Mrs. Col. Topping: were married last evening, at the residence of the bride, South Sixth street, Rev. E. F. Howe officiating They left on the night train for an eastern bridal trip, which will include Washington, Philadelphia, New York, and other cities and points of interest.

Both are well-known and highly appreciated members of Terre Haute society, and they have none but the kindest wishes of a very large circle of friends for their future well being. The GAZETTE unites with their many other friends in wishing them a long and prosperous marital life.

IN Chicago, an attorney sporting the suggestive sobriquet of Small, while making the closing argument for the defense in the Rafferty-O'Meara murder case, made the ridiculous assertion that the loss of such men as Rafferty by hanging is a positive loss to the community. This broad assertion even provoked an incredulous smile from the jury, who retired soon after, and in fifteen minutes returned with a verdict of murder in the first degree, which means hanging by the neck until dead.

Such is the proper way for sensible men to give heed to such sickly argument as that advanced by this Small lawyer of Chicago.

Let men who are given to rowdyism and acts of brutality—as was Rafferty— be promptly sentenced and hanged, when they become so reckless of human Jife as to sacrifice it.

Boord et. al, vs. McKeen et. al. This case is on trial before a jury in the Common Pleas Court to-day, the Hon. John T. Scott presiding.

The suit is brought by plaintiffs to recover some $13,000, which they claim from defendants by reason of a violation of contract. The contract was entered into between the parties, in the construction of the road bed of seven miles of the Vandalia Railroad. Plaintiffs claim that the stakes were reset after they had commenced the work, and that thereby they were delayed and forced to undergo additional expense in fulfilling the contract.

A number of witnesses have been examined on behalf of the plaintiffs. The defence will be heard to-morrow.

Messrs. Baird, Allen & Mack, for plaintiffs Thompson and Scofleld for defendants.

PEKSONAL.—Oneday last week we had the pleasure of a call from Mr. J. A. Vrydagh, architect, from Terre Haute. This gentleman is said to be among the best architects in the country. The principal buildings in Terre Haute, including the Opera House, the Hospital, the railroad roundhouses, the Normal School building, and a large number of fine business ^blocks and dwellings have been erected upon his plans and under his superintendence. So, also, the Bedford Court House, the remodeling of the Sullivan Court House, and many of the fine buildings in EvansVille and other parts of the State are from his office.— JiockviUc Patriot.

ARRESTER.—'The boy, John Curry, who shot Alexander Roberts, on Wednesday morning, was yesterday lodged in jail on a charge of manslaughter. Curry testified before the Coroner's jury that he did not know the gun was loaded, but now comes George Matthews, the owner of the gun, who says that Curry kuow the gun was loaded, because he (Matthews) told him it was, andolso told liim not to meddle with it. Curry's arrest has been made on this evidence by Matthews.—Ind. Sentinel.

MR. W. S. OGDEN, Chief Clerk in the General Superintendent's office of the Vandalia Short Line, is one of the most accommodating as well as one ot the most efficient officials connected with the road.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

Ohio Election.

We cau assure our friends abroad that the supporters of Greeley and Brown will earry this State both at the October and November elections, if there is anything in indications. The change iu the German vote in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton, Columbus and the Northwest will be more than sufficient to change the past political character of the State. A very large part of the German vote, so called, 1ms been against us for years, but now there are few anioug them who will touch General Grantor any of his tickets. This county gave nearly 5,000 majority for Grant. It wtll give the same figure now against him: In many other counties the change will be equally marked. We have never in our political experience seen the political skies as bright as they are this fall. All that is necessary is efficient organisation to give Greeley the State by full 20,000 majority. Friends, push on the ball!—CHn. Enquirer.

MR. WM. LLOYD GARRISON continues his warfare upon the absent Senator from his State as vehemently and virulently as if, wearied with his life-long opposition to the Government of the United States, »s a covenant with death and a league with hell, he had now concluded that he would like to hold ofl^ge under it.—New Jork ptiWty

CINCINNATI, Sept. 13.—A terrible explosion occurred this foreuoon, at Bobert Jones & Co.'s boiler yard, on Pearl street. The steam guager indicated only a preasnre of 60 pounds, when the boiler exploded with a fearful noise. Two men standing immediately back of the boiler were killed,^Robert Jones and Uberschelange. The following are the causalities, and some are uncertain at this hour. The killed are Evans Moyed. Robert Jones, the proprietor, died a few minutes after he was carried to his home also Joe Uberschelauge.

The following are the wounded A boy named Flannigan, badly burnt, canuot live Frank Barrenge, badly injured about the face David Gains, slightly injured. The boiler had a steam gauge, but no safety valve. It was of Hunter's patent, intended for use on canals. The roof of the shop was hurled for several squares. One piece was blown through a brick wall, next door to the boiler shop. Another piece was blown a sqnare, and wounded several. A piece struck the second story of a frame building.

The Flannigan boy mentioned has since died. DUBUQUE, IOWA, Sept. Is.—A fire at 3 o'clock this morning destroyed Kemp's large beer brewery, about two miles from town. The brewery and the contents, consisting of beer, malt and hops, were totally destroyed. Loss, $20,000. Insured for $13,000. A stoue residence adjoining was damaged to the extent of $3,000 insured. It was the work of an incendiary, as the fire was discovered in two places.

LOUISVILLE, KY., Sept. 13.—The Evening Democrat has the following leader: "CHARLES O'CONOR'S LETTER.—We have been prepared for just such a letter as that which we give elsewhere. Mr. O'Conor has a peculiarly intense repugnance to being considered a place hunter. He conceives that the spirit of our institutions demands a return to the policy of our forefathers, and that as both Washington and Jefferson were elected to the Presidency without being candidates. The President to-day should be selected in like manner. The Louisville Convention, in nominating Mr. O'Conor, and persisting in their nomination, knew whatthey were doing. They endeavored to present to the people the old-time custom, without office hunting. As Mr. Justice Davis says, in his telegraph to the Labor Reformers

The Presidency is neither to be sought nor declined.' Mr. O'Conor will surely not refuse the position, if eledted. The voters of the country cannot appreciate the high tone which induces him to maintain the position first taken, the public mind is indeed corrupted and the Federal Union far advanced on its road to ruin. We defer to another time an appropriate comment on the assault made week ago by the Greeley organs, and their present utterances about Mr. O'Conor.

We leave Mr. O'Coner's name at the head of the columns, and shall still urge his supportas the only means of preserving the Democratic organization and principles."

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.—The Democrats and Liberals of the Ninth Congressional District have nominated Hon. John F. Drucome for Congress.

The Republican Convention of the Seventh District nominated J. M. Rusk for Congress, and the separate Democrats and Liberals nominated Stephen J. Mars ton. It is believed that the two parties in that district will be hereafter united under the name of the Liberal party.

The following call is published in the Times, which also endorses it: The proposed meeting, at Springfield, pursuant to suggestion adopted by members of the Illinois Democratic State Convention, at Springfield, on the 19th of August, are requested to meet at Springfield, September 20th, 1862, to nominate one candidate for Elector of President and Vice President in each Congressional District of Illinois, and two candidates for the State-at-Large.

For the Committee, (Signed,) JOHN LEDLIE. SPRINGFILD, III., Sept. 13.—The Grand Jury yesterday found a true bill of indictment against Dr. J. M. Burch, of Illiuois, charging him with the murder of Geo. W. Kendall, on July 15th. Kendall and others had been fighting in a village and Burch attempted to arrest him, and when Kendall would not submit, Burch fired.

Briggs, who fired upon Ford Matick, of Pleasant Plains, has also been indicted for assault with intent to murder.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 13.—The firm of E. L. & T. S. Johnson, pork packers, this city, who were found guilty of unmercantile conduct, by the board of officers appointed to investigate their conduct in a pork transaction with J. L. Kirk, of this city, and J. Brooks Johnson, of Chicago, an account which has been previously mentioned in these dispatches, was to-day indefinitely suspended from the Chamber by ^n almost unanimous vote.

It will be recollected the vote taken on Monday to expel them was lost by a vote of 100 to 128.

These are the amounts of stock in the "Credit Mobilier of America," which, It is charged, were presented to the abovenamed members of Congress by Oakes Ames, on behalf of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, to secure their influence for legislation affecting said Union Pacific Railroad.

The charge comes before the public in this wise: H. S. McComb, one of the wealthiest and most reputable business men in the United States, brought suit against the said Credit Mobilier of America, to compel an equitable settlement with himself as a member of the company. In the course of bis examination he presented, under oath, two letters from Oakes Ames, a member of Congress, and also a member of the Credit Mobilier Company, one of which says that he has assigned certain shares where they will do most good to the Union Pacific Railroad and that, being "here on the spot" (at Washington City,) he knows where to place them better thau anybody else. Also, that most of the parties are poor men, and would ratherJiave bonds than stock. In the other lettefrhe. says he has thus far assigned one lot to l^aine, one to New Hampshire, four to "Massachusetts, one to Indiana, two to Peirasylvania, onehalf to Ohio, and one to Teariessee. On the back of the first letter Mr. Comb copies a list of the names of the members of Congress which he says showed to him, and they correspond exactly with the enumeration givan in the second letter, with a trifling difference as to Ohio. This testimony, it should be borne in mind, was given more than a year ago, and therefore had no reference to the present political campaign.

Nearly a'week has passed since this terrible charge was publicly preferred against these gentlemen, and, up to the present time, no authentic denial has reached us from any of them, except Blaine, whose card we publish elsewhere. If they are innocent (and we would not judge them on ex-parte testimony), they are losing precious time in omitting to vindicate their reputations. We call attention to the matter again, more in sorrow than in anger, for, notwithstanding the mutations and exigencies of partisan politics, most of these gentlemen are our friends, and we would not intentionally do them the smallest injusiite. One of them (Mr. Fowler, of Tennessee) is, we believe, a supporter of Mr. Greeley. If the charge is true as against him, he must suffer the consequences. This is not a time for favoritism, but for im-

KIr.

artial justice. Did you have the money, Fowler, Mr. Boutwell, Mr. Wilson, and the rest? If so, what consideration did you return for it What was it given to you for? Have you received any other sums from other railroads or steamship lines subsidized by Congress?

The fashionable way to meet such charges is to have a Committee of Congress appointed, suitably packed to bring in a verdict of not guilty. This was what was done in the Secor case, the Leet & Stocking case, the French Arms case, and, substantially, in the New Orleans case, although, in the last, some irregularities on the part of Collector Casey were admitted, such as employing a Government vessel to carry off fourteen members of the Louisiana Legislature, in order to keep them out of the reach of the Sergeant-at-Arms. The fact that Casey waa also the stakeholder of a corruption fund of $50,000, deposited in his safe to buy votes for a certain bill, was wholly overlooked by the majority of the committee, although freely commented on by the minority. No such whitewashing will answer in the present case. The parties stand on too high an eminence-. One of them is the present Secretary of the Treasury. Another is a candidate for Vice President. A third is Chairman of the committee of Ways and Means. A fourth is Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations. Together they are, perhaps, the very men most likely, by their influence and reputations, to give a moral impetus to any bill pending before the House of Representatives that no adverse arguments or influence could withstand.

Now, if there are any Congressional culprits in the Liberal party who have been selling their votes and influence to railroad or steamship lines, we shall help to lash them into obscurity. We shall do the same for the other side. It is now more than ten years since the Republican party took the reins of government. Immediately after its accession of power, a war of unexampled magnitude and unexampled cost began. Habits of extravagance grew up in this era, while the money of the Government was being poured out like water, and they have grown worse ever since. That corruption should grow out of this condition of thiners is natural. It would have been surprising if it had not been so. That it should have invaded the highest and most trusted leaders of the Republican party as well as the lowest and most notorious, does, indeed, surprise us and hence we still hesitate to believe that these gentlemen are guilty as charged, notwithstanding their ominous silence.

We think, however, the public will agree that it is time something was done, for, even upon the showing of Mr. Oakes Ames' letters (himself an esteemed member of Congress, and a member of the Pacific Railroad Committee), he was engaged in doling out bribes to his fellowmembers. Does not this fact, of itself, call loudly for reform?! Does it not not admonish all good men to ask the question, Whither are we tending? Toward what shoals and breakers ie our Reublican ship drifting 1—Chicago Trine.

[Special dispatch to Indiatiapolis Sentinel.] PAOLI, Sept. 12.—We have just had a

rousing Greeley meeting. The court house was literally packed with an enthusiastic crowd to hear Hon. George W. Julian. His speech was one of the happiest efforts of his life, and had a good effect. Many former Grant Republicans have been changed to warm supporters of Greeley. Count old Orange good for five hundred majority. No Blanton Duncans here. Mr. Julian and Major Kinney will address one of the largest meetings at Mitchell, to-morrow, ever held in this State. LIBERAL.

[Special'.o the Terre Haute Journal.] NEW ALBANY, Sept. 12. —Ed. Journal: —James H. Willard, of New Albany, and Simon Hirsch, of Terre Haute, filled the appointment of Hon. John B. Stoll at Zanesville to-day. An immonse crowd of Democrats and Liberals were present, and both gentlemen made able and effective speeches.

TERRE HAUTE, IND.: FRIDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 13, 1872.

The Oakes Allies Bribery. Mr. Blaine, of Maine, has given a Very inadequate explanation of the ugly charge irt Which he stands implicated, with certain other Radical member's of Congress, by

the

documents put ill in an

important lawsuit now pending in Pennsylvania. But he has given very good reasons why he or some one else should promptly supply the public with an ade-

Sakesexplanation

uate of that charge. Mr. Ames, a leading Radical member of Congress from Massachusetts, chairman of a committee in the House, &nd an intimate political associate of Mr. Blailie, Mr. Boutwell, Mr. Dawes, Mr. Eliot, Mr. Scofield,of Pennsylvania,Mr. Henry Wilson, and all

the

more eminent Radicals

at Washington, was also a leading director, in fact the leading director of two great financial corporations—the Credit Mobilier of America and the Union Pacific Railway. The Union Pacific Railway being magnificently subsidized by the United States, the Credit Mobilier waa organized as a wheel within the wheel, a ring within the ring, for the purpose of building the road and bagging the subsidies. How intelligently it was adapted to these purposes may be inrefted from the simp'e statement that the road which the Credit Mobilier built cost in the gross $25,950,000, and that the values received by the Credit Mobilier amounted to $111,618,512—the profits ©f the Credit Mobilier reachine. thus the comfortable figure of $85,668,512. Now, as Mr. Oakes Ames did not hesitate openly to do what would have struck a man of a sensitive conscience as somewhat discreditable, but labored in broad daylight as a member of Congress to forward the vast financial interests of the vast financial operation which he was directing, it is not surprising that Mr.

Ames should have come to be

eoffifigonly thought capable of workinsr for froSA interests in the dark as well as in the%aylieht. After the profits of the Credit^Mobilier had reached a total of some cent, on the face of the stock itbecame%ecessary in order to their further advan%a»Jiiat Congress should release theUnionx*ac£tfic Railway from certain obligations ahaWyjabilities imposed upon it by the acts of JnMj 1862, and of July, 1864, constituting tne'eomKanies which made up the Union Pacific. It was not to the interest of the Treasi or the people of the United States that this should be done. But it was to the interest, and enormously to the interest, of the Credit Mobilier and its "ring" that this should be done, and it was done.

As the matter now stands it is the most alarming and shocking revelation yet made of the extent to which the lust of money has eaten out the very heart of all the honor and honesty in the party dominant at Washington. It is a story fitted indeed to produce a sensation, but it is very far from being a sensational story.

The truth about it must be had—the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. One of the men impeached by it is now Secretary of the Treasury. Others are candidates for re-election to Congress. Blaine himself has just succeeded in re-electing himself in spite of it. To leave it where it stands is to proclaim formally that the people of this country are indifferent alike to honor and to honesty in their public servants. —New York World.

From the New York Tribune.

The Duty of Liberals.

Some of our Liberal friends seem to imagine that they have done their whole duty in this campaign when they nave made up their minds to vote for Greeley in November, leaving the State and Congress elections to take care of themselves.

Hence we saw in Vermont, for instance, a much stronger vote for the Republicans last week than they are likely to get on the Presidential issue we saw the same thing in North Carolina we shall probably see the same thing to-day in Maine. This is a great blunder. If the Liberals want to elect Mr. Greeley they must work for him, and the work is not to be done in one day it must last through the canvass.

There are thousands of doubtful citizens in every State who are ready to go with the majority, and they will join the Liberals iu November if we show them beforehand that we can poll a large vote. Let us have no boldiug back, therefore, but a prompt, hearty, emphatic acceptance of the entire Liberal ticket from top to bottom.

In some districts also it is asserted that the Liberals give but a lukewarm support to the Democratic candidates for Congress who have been placed on the joint ticket. This statement is of course erroneous. The Liberal Republicans have joined in the coalition in good ftiith, and mean faithfully to perform their promises. They understand that their alliance with the Democrats is something more than a bargain for votes it is the recognition of a new era in our politics, an era of reconciliation and friendship, in which botb sides give up the animosities and prejudices of the past, and unite cordially in the movement for fraternity and reform. The jealousies of faction must be forgotton in such a movement, and Liberals and Democrats alike must give their adhesion freely and without reserve to all honest men who receive the nomination of the hew alliance. ..

Reducing Expenditures.

The Grant papers and orators insist that the present is a reform and economizing Administration. It is claimed by them that General Grant is not only reducing taxation, but is likewise diminishing the ordinary expenditures. Here is a table, taken from

official

sources by

ex-Congressman Wells, which shows that, instead of the ordinary expenses diminishing, they have increased from year to year since 1866: 186 6 $43,900,000 186 7 55,752,000 186 8 57.109,000 1869 63,516,000 187 0 56,644,000 187 1 67,907,000

The average annual increase is about nine per cent., and the figures show that this rate of increase is fully maintained under Mr. Grant. Just the ordinary expenses, for 1871, are about equal to the average annual total expenditures under the administration of Mr. Buchanan. If there is any economy or retrenchment under the Grant administration, it is exceedingly difficult to tell where it is.— Ind. Sentinel.

The National Lincoln Monument. The National Lincoln Monument Association held a meeting yesterday, Hon. R. J. Oglesby, President, in the chair.

A communication was read from Gov. E. D. Morgan, of New York, stating that the subscription by the people of that State of $13,700, to pay for one of the statuary groups, was filled, and that the fund was subject to the order of the association.

The President and Secretary were instructed, by resolution, to draw, from the State of New York $10,000, appropriated to aid in the completion of the monument.

Tbe President reported that the subscription for a statuary group among the people of Philadelphia was being rapidly filled. n*

Nu:1e Art.

The Art Association of San Francisco lately invited the girls attending the City High School to view its gallery of paintings, Which is very rich in originals and copies of the old masters, and in the beat modern works. This invitation was declined by the Board of Education, on the polite ground that the collection was "beastly." This meatift, We presume, that Eve is represented in the garb of her time, and that, in general, the beauty of the "human form divine" is fully revealed. Applying the term "beastly" to such objects cannot help but excite the prurient thoughts which the Board wishes to prevent. Art is handmaid of education. It must be a vile nature that can take base gratification in the study of masterpieces merely for the sake of chance nudities. Hawthorne, in his "French and Italian Note Books," often speaks of the way in whjch the beauty of a great picture or statute possesses the spectator, to the exclusion of even a consciousness of the nakedness so freely represented. The action of the Board seems to be not only foolish, but mischievous. Commenting on it, an indignant Frisco editor says

Henceforward, the Crucifixion is to be painted before the soldiers have parted Christ's garment among them Powers Greek Slave is to have a gown once a week Venus rising from the sea, is only to be allowed to show her head above water and the statutes are to be plastered over with fig-leaves.

A Baggage Master in a Fix. This morning, the baggage master on the Pan Handle train was intrusted with some precious freight in the shape of a little negro girl, five or six years of age, which had been consigned to Cambridge City. As soon as the lady who consigned her had left, the little girl, mistrusting that all was not right, set up a screaming and yelling that was heard even above the exasperating clatter of the depot. She refused to be comforted, and kept up the screaming until the poor baggage master was in a state bordering on frenzy. Finally, the genial Burgess Brown wag sent for, who accounted for the noise by the fact, sis expressed in his advertisement, that "children cry to go on the Pan Handle." He soothed the ninny by some candy, a few peaches, anafyiated a little on the advantages of the HLn Handle as a mode of conveyance, and goTbefcfluiet. As a soother of restive little picainnfaies, Burgess is a decided success.—Ind%lournal.

The MaiifrElection.

The Grantites have ifcaybJast Maine, and they are jubilant. Th^TwtHtest vote in this State was the Gubernawaal election in 1868, when, in the largftt vote ever cast, the Republicans electSKktheir candidate for Governor by 20,495 'ml jority. In the warmly contested cana vass which has just transpired, they have probably elected their candidate, Perham, by 15,000 majority, a loss of 5,000 votes compared with the test vote of 1868, the last contested election upon political issues. There is no significance in the Maine electiou for the Grantites, but otherwise. The same percentage of Liberal gain that is developed in Maine, would carry all the evenly balanced States for the Liberal candidates.—Ind. Sentinel.

From the Cincinnati Lancet and Chronicle.

Eight Children at a Birth. On the 21st of August, Mrs. Timothy Brad lee, of Trumbull county, Ohio, gave birth to eight children—three boys and five girls. They are all living, and are healthy, but quite small. Mr. Bradlee was married six years ago to Eunice Mowery, who weighed 273 pounds on the day of her marriage. She has given birth to two pairs of twins, and now eight more, making twelve children in six years. Mrs. Bradlee was & triplet, her father and mother both being twins, and her grandmother the mother of five pair of twins.

SAID a Greeley Republican to us yesterday "I stumble every day upon Republicans whom I had not suspected, but who, I found, upon inquiry, were going for Greeley." This silent vote will carry consternation into the ranks of the Grantites. They are counting, on the strength of previous votes, upon thousands of men who will turn up missing on election day. The inner current and the popular vote are all for us. No one has any motive to deceive us. Thousands have motives to deceive the enemy.— Cin. Enquirer.

IT is reported that a man in Cincinnati fell from the top of a four-story building, the other day, to the stoue sidewalk beneath, without being injured in the

Ust.

He was a life insurance agent and f®U on his cheek. At the timeof his fall h© was leaning on the edge of the roof, shoving his papers at a painter whom he had treed on a swinging scaffold underneath.

A World Theory.

The World assures us that if the North Pole explorers should ever be so fortunate as to get to that locality, they could not by any possibility return, since tbe attraction of gravitation would at the quiescent pole make a man so heavy that no effort of human muscles could raise his feet from the ground.

As AN illustration of the amount of capital seeking investment in good railroad bonds, tbe New York Express mentions that a single banking firm in that city has disposed of nearly $60,000,000 of railroad bonds within the past few years, or since the Government commenced to call in its 7 30 and 6 per cent. debt.
