Additional Local News.

Hon. George W. Julian.

Geo. W. Julian, the fearless advocate of Reform, will be here ami address the people on Friday evening. There is no more able speaker in the whole Northwest than Mr. Julian, and he should have a rousing audience.

THE Hon. Horace Greeley is cn route West and while on his Western tour, will visit Indianapolis, upon which occa sion, and at which place, he can be seen by those of our citizens who may wish to go there.

TROUBLE of a damaging character grew out of the colored part of the procession which attended the nail works meeting last night. Some of the boys swear they will never march in that procession again. They are right.

Two YOUTHS, Craft and Lee, each carried off a hat from Yates' this morning, Lee to pay the bill provided Voorhees gets a majority of eight hundred, and Craft to liquidate the bill in case Voorhees faily to receive that majority. Our sympathy is all with Yates.

THE State Sentinel announces that the Hon. George W. Juliau will speak at the Temple in this city on the evening of the 20th inst. Let the people turn out and hear this great defender of human freedom, and advocate of needed reform in our Government. He is worthy of one of the largest audiences that ever assembled in Terre Haute.

LENT'S gorgeous chariot and band, drawn by eighteen full-blooded and richly caparisoned horses, made a magnificent appearance on our streets this morning. This superb turnout was followed by the elegant ticket wagon, drawn by twelve diminutive ponies. The ears and eyes of all hearers and beholders were charmed by the splendor of the scene.

THE Grantites are importing oratorical thunder all the while. They have announced in the Express of this morning, Matilda Fletcher, for the evening Lieut. Governor Stewart L. Woodford, of New York, September 24th General Thomas Browne, September 28th Paul Strobach, Saturday evening, and General Benjamin F. Butler, of Massachusetts, October 7th.

THE continued and unprovoked attacks of the Express on the personal character and integrity of Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks will probably increase that gentleman's majority in this county to three hundred votes. So sensible and observing Radicals inform lis.—Journal.

So abusive and violent did this hightoned family organ become that it met with a deserved reproof from Mr. Grant's Evansville organ, who foresaw that it was injuring the prospects of the Grant dynasty for a continuance of power.

THE Congregationalist gives this hint to church choirs "At the last Sabbath service which we had the privilege of attending as listeners, the fine quartette choir sang an impressive opening piece. It was this Solo—Hyah thar fayar fra M'siah aw blaw ow awmiah iniquiyah. Chorus—Cah me naw waya, etc. We mention the fact as some other church quartette may like to purchase the music and perform the same. The effect on the worshiper is peculiar."

A YOUNG girl, at present in this city, though reared in the country adjacent, has been subject to epileptic fits for years, suffering ail attack of this character as often as three times a day. Some time since she was treated for the ailmeut by a Gipsy woman who claimed that she could cure her, for a certain amount. The girl's guardian, who resides here, at the earnest solicitation of the girl allowed the old witch to perform upon the patient, which she did in that peculiar manner characteristic of witches of the olden time and, to the great surprise of everybody, effected a radical cure. The girl has not been afflicted with "fits" since.

MR. GRANT'S Terre Haute organ is sad at heart because the Liberals have secured the services of Gratz Brown to speak for them on the 5th of October. Mr. Grant's paper labors under the delusion that his speaking from manuscript will create no enthusiasm.

By the way, we would most respectfully suggest that Mr. Grant's stumpers, sucn as OgLesby, Logan and others we might name, had better write their speeches, that the respect of their hearers for the English language be maintained. And we would remind the Grantites that the Liberal speakers do not appeal to the feelings and prejudices of their hearers, but to their common sense and reasoning.

Resigned.

We exceedingly regret to learn thatthe Rev. S. Burfordhas tendered his resignation as Rector of St. Stephen'sparish,and designs preaching his f.-ssvwell sermon at thjit structure, .Sunday.

In tendering his resignation, the reverend gentleman assures his be!o-.eu congregation that lie cherishes in his heart the kindest feelings and well wishes for each and every member therof that he tenders his resignation, not because lie is dissatisfied hero, but at tiie earnest and persistent solicitation of the congregation of Calvary Church, New Orleans, his native city. Since his residence here, dating June last, if Meremember rightly, Rev. Burford has been subject to the most earnest appeals from the membership of Calvary Church to return to the Crescent City and again assume the responsibilities incident to presiding over that Parish.

Mr. Burford being thus importuned, coupled with the fact that he was born and bred in the South, fully explains his determination to depart from our prosperous and beautiful city, and his having tendered his resignation to the vestryman of St. Stephens.

Though we are not a member of St. Stephens, we know the retiring rector as a most courteous and estimable gentleman, and we deeply deplore his determination to depart from our growing young city. We need such men in our society, and when they come among us for awhile and then leave us, their loss is keenly felt.

As a rector, his place will not easily be filled.

Mr. Greeley's Opposition,

in speaking of Mr. Greeley's chances, the Evansville Journal (Grant) says The financial and commercial interests ot the State are against him solid, and when the capitalists of New York unite to suppress an aspiring politician, he is usually suppressed.

Yet these fellows insist that the poor people of this country should vote against Mr. Greeley. The financial and commercial interests of New York, alluded to by Mr. Grant's paper at Evansville, are the Wall street brokers and the Custom House ring. They know that Mr. Greeley is an incorruptible man and that when he comes into power there will be no more chances for them to pilfer the public till and get up schemes for their own enrichment, and the increased impoverishing of the poor, who3e friend Mr. Greeley has ever been.

While these monied interests know that Mr. Greeley is not be corrupted by them if he becomes President, they know enough about the present incumbent of that high office to believe that their great interests will be safe in his hands. But now, how will the working men of this country vote ?, We will see.

AND now come Mr. Grant's right bowers, Wilson and Garfield, by their friends, earnestly denying through the columns of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, that they have not nor never have had a cents worth of the great Mobilier stock. But the question now arises, why don't these men come forward in person, and deny these blackening charges against their official integrity. This they do not do but a correspondent comes out in a special telegram and denies, alleging that he does it on authority.

Of this character of denial, we have already had some experience with Mr. Wilson. A friend of his emphatically aimed on his authority that he was ever

Know-Nothing. The charge being proved, however, Mr. Wilson comes out in a card, and says that he never denied the charge of being a Know-Nothing that the friend wrote the denial without authority.

Miss JULIA WIKT, the young lady who has so satisfactorily discharged the duties of manager of the Terre Haute office of the P. & A. T. Co., has resigned on account of ill health, and is succeeded by C. E. Riehle, a skillful operator from the Chicago office, a former resident of this city.

Miss Wirt, while holding the position, has proven herself an efficient manager, and an estimable lady, as well as an accomplished operator. The many friends she has made by her amiable qualities and courteous deportment- are loth to have her leave the city, which she will do soon, for Wisconsin for her health.

Mr. Riehle comes to us from Chicago, after having had a lively experience there, as a skillful operator and a rapid sound reporter. Under his management, too, we can promise our readers good dispatches, and the patrons of the company quick time on private messages.

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Mary Cookerly.

Mrs. Mary Cookerly, the estimable wife of our well-known citizeu, Hon. G. F. Cookerly, died this morning at 6 o'clock. She had been an invalid for more than a year past, being afflicted with dropsical affection. She leaves a family of seven children to mourn the loss of a good mother. Mrs. Cookerly was the daughter of Dr. Hitchcock, one of the first'settlers of this city, and had, herself, resided here for upwards of forty years. In her death the community loses one of its upright members her husband one of the best of companions, and her children a kind and affectionate mother.

TWENTY-TWO columns of the New York Tiibune

triple sheet of September

13th, is devoted to a report of the grand mass meeting of the Liberals—Republican and Democratic—held in Union Square, Jtfew York City. The speeches delivered from seven stands were phonographically reported in the evening and published the following moraiug. Such is metropolitan journalism as practiced by the great newspaper founded and firmly established by Horace Greeley, the Liberal candidate for the Presidency, while his opponent was squandering his time in loafitjg about.! av

AT a side-show of Mr. Grant's at the nail works, last evening, the Iron Guards" were presented with a banner by some ladies, Rev. R. S. Tennant making the presentation speech on behalf of the ladies, and the Hon. R. W. Thompson responding on behalf of the recipients. Teuuunt besought the "iron heroes" to array themselves on the Hunter side of the great and all-important tariff issue. The Colonel reminded them of the great achievements of the Republican party and the inconsistent course of the old .secessionist, Horace Greeley. Tt was an imposing, though heart-rending affair.

THE Journal astonishes its Grant friends by this mild satire Senator Jason I?. Browu was impotent to do mischief in Sullivan county.

We understand that the Grantites whose confidence has thus been betrayed by the Journal, contemplate the awful vengeance of withdrawing their names from the subscription books. 'Tis sad—for the Rads.

The Extra Session of tlie Legislature. Governor Baker has decided to call a special session of the Legislature as soon as the new Legislature is elected. His reason for this step is that the business of the pasi three sessions of the Legislature has been interrupted and almost entirely stopped by the filibustering of the members on^various pretexts, in consequence of which the business of the State has suffered. The. matters which will be brought before the Legislature at the ex tra session are taxation* equalization of assessments, the joecessity of some action with reference

roads, the benevolent institutions, completion of the reformatory for wome! and girls, and the building of an addition to the House ot Refuge at Plainfield Under a law of the State any busiuess done at either a special or regular session of the Legislature, may be taken up where it was left off, at the next session if by the same Legislature will complete the work he has laid out for it, for when the regular session meets, the apportiontionment of the State for Congressional purposes, and the election of a United States Senator, will take all its time.— Ind. Journal.

A Delightful Surprise.—Ladies whose faces are clouded by superficial discolorations, and who have resolved to try HAGAN'S MAGNOLIA BALM as a remedy, have no idea of the welcome surprise they willl receive from their mirrors after a few applications of that healthful purifier of the complexion. If at all excitable, they will scream with rapture on beholding the change whether the blemish it is desired to remove besallowness, blotches, pimples, freckles, roughness, or an unnatural pallor, it is bound to disappear under the tonic operation of this wonderful agent-. To say that the blemish disappears, does not, however, convey any idea of the effect produced by this celebrated beautifier. The unsightly tinge, whether diffused over the whole countenance, or in spots or patches, is replaced by a uniform, pearly bloom, to which no description can do justice.

THE PROPOSER DEPOT ENLARGEMENT. —By reference to the Council proceedings of last evening, it will be seen that the long-talked-of depot enlargement is at last crystalizing into a plan that bears the appearance of being practicable. The ordinance was accompanied by a petition of all the property holders on Louisiana street, between Illiuois and Meridian streets, asking that the proposed vacation of the street be granted. As these parties are the ones most directly interested, it is highly probable the prayed for privileges will be granted the Union Depot Company.—Ind.Journal.

THE first boy born in Terre Haute keeps as far from that place as possible. He is a sea captain, and although he has to visit New York once in a while, he has taken care not to get any nearer to his birthplace in thirty yeaxs—Indianapolis Evening Journal.

ON Saturday evening next the Greeley and Brown men of this city will visit Franklin, to-take part in the demonstration in honor of Hon. D. W. Voorhees. —Ind. Eve. News.

MATILDA FLETCHER will speak at Terre Haute to-night, and we fear that her appearance will be followed by an infliction from that horrible Smith.— Ind. Sentinel.

Recovering Drowned Bodies. We published recently a little item about the discovery and recovery of the body of a drowned man in Lake Merced, California, by means of a loaf of bread weighted with quicksilver, which illustrated at once a truth and a silly superstition. The item said that the loaf floated to the place where the body lay, sank down and rose accompanied by the body. This is nonsense, of course, unless we allow the chance of an accidental rising of the corpse at the moment to create the illusion described as a fact. The story is a mere burst of superstition. But there is some truth in the popular fancy that a loaf of bread weighted with quicksilver will find the corpse of a drowned man. Anything else that will float will do as well as bread, however, or better, and any other heavy metal as well as quicksilver. The weight is merely to steady the float to the motion of the current, so that it will move evenly with it instead of capriciously, and thus show its actual direction and speed. A drowned body, in all probability, has been carried by the curreut much as the float at the surface is, in streams of ordinary depth, and if the float be put in where the body sank finally, it will indicate with some accuracy in what direction the body has gone. When it stops in an eddy, or at any point where the curreut no longer has torce enough to carry it on, there in reasonable probability the current has dropped the corpse. This is all the secret there is in the mystery of tUe bread and quicksilver search for drowned men. The"story that the float sinks down upon the body, or did do it in the Mercer Lake case, is foolishness, unless the soaking of the loaf used in the lake sunk it, and accidentally, where the .body lay.—Ind. News.

A LoTe Powder.

Yesterday a young girl applied at a drug store, and after considerable diffidence, whispered to the clerk that her mistress, a theatrical lady, had sent her for ten cents' worth of love powders. It was a queer mixture for this apothecary to! compound, and he must needs know all the symptoms of the disease that demanded such curative agencies. A young man had been calling and calling, for months past. [Either diffidence or lack of warmth had prevented him from talking business, and now her mistress wanted something that would soften his heart ind bring him to terms. The clerk consulted his pharmaceutical works without relief, and finally from his own resources compowided/nf powdered rhubarb, sweet quinine, assafoetida, die., a mixture that will certainly bring matters to a crisis, either favorably or otherwise.—Indianapolis News. iii
