Additional Local News.

GF.N. HUNTER has 111 ado one hundred and twelve speeches in this campaign.--Grant's own.

And had about that many hearer.", in the aggregate?

GEN. TOM. BUOWNIC, Radical candidate for Governor, has delivered eiprhty-six speeches during the campaign.—Journal.

That is to say, he has delivered one •speech eighty-six times!

THE Hon. O. B. Ficklin.a prominent politician and lawyer of Charleston, is in the city, and gave the GAZETTE office a complimentary call. The Colonel is a heavy Greeleyite.

THE residence of George A. Hayward, North Third street, was struck by a bolt of lightning during the stormjday before yesterday. No one was hurt, and the building was but slightly damaged.

ALEXANDER & JOHNSON are supplying the local market with the choicest of oysters in the market, and at the old prices. They have made such arrangements as not to be without the article.

OUR dispatches yesterday gave us the gratifying information that Minister Nelson is coming out all right in the complaints recently made against him and that he will soon return to his Terre Haute home, bringing the remains of his wife with him.

S. D. KEERNAN, the talented city editor of the Fort Wayne Sentinel, is soon to become city editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel. Pie will, we think, fill the position-with honor to himself and credit to the paper for such has been the record he made at Fort Wayne.

COL. JOHN M. FORNEY, of the Philadelphia Press, is stumping for Mr. Grant in Ohio, and will soon coi)je over into Indiana. Would it not be in order for him to tell the Radicals of this State •what he knows about Cameron and Ilartranft, two rascals, who, of course, support Grant.

THE 5th of October will be an eveut long to be remembered in Terre Haute. Thousands of people will be here on that occasion, and in three days thereafter they will cast their ballots for Hendricks and the State ticket which he heads this they will surely do, whether Liberal Republicans or Democrats.

SATURDAY evening of this week, a special train will be run from this city to Rockville and return, for fifty cents for the round trip. The occasion is the speech of Mr. Voorhees and others, at that place, on that evening. The meeting will be largely attended, as Mr. Voorhess' meetings all are.

THE Hon. John B. Stoll speaks at the Terre Haute Turner Halle on the evening of October 2d. Mr. Stoll is a gentleman of scholarly attainments, courteous demeanor and unblemished public record in all respect9 worthy a hearing and a large vote. He will not be disappointed in Terre Haute, if the weather is propitious.

WE are delighted with the prosperity of our Main street merchants, but it would be a commendable act of justice to pedestrians if the3T would not blockade the streets with boxes. Pedestrians rend their clothing, rupture their temper, and injure their prospects for a comfortable future. Will business men along Main street take the hint? Empty boxes are not a very great indication of a prosperous business.

MANY excursionists who went over to Indianapolis to the Greeley ratification meeting on last Monday night, join with lis in returning their thanks to the managers and getters up of the excursion, and especially to James H. Douglass, the conductor of the. train over and back, for the gentlemanly and efficient maimer in which he discharged his duties as conductor. Mr. Douglass is an able and experienced conductor and would be a great acquisition for one of the many good railroads leading into our city.

THK Greeley escort proposed to go to the nail works to raise a Hag pole, on Tuesday night. After the officers had remained at headquarters for somo time, doing their best to "rally the boys," it was found that only nine could be "rallied" and the mei tins broke up in bad temper. So says a reliable witness.—Express.

Your witness is not reliable. Fiftyfour men in uniforms were at hpadquar* tgrs, when word was scut from the nail works, that on account of the rain, the been postponed until Satur4ay Right, Try again, Mr, Gnat's »ft?

GEN. STEWART L. WOODFORD, of New York, was in the city yesterday. He expresses himself highly pleased with the immense turnout which greeted him "at Terre Haute Tuesday evening.—Indianapolis Journal.

Another specimen of the superior information of the smart young men of the Indianapolis Journal, who have facilities for gathering special dispatches from towns where there are no telegraph offices.

The fact of the matter if, in this case, that General Woodford, though worthy of an immense attendance, had but a mere handful before him during the delivery of an admirable speech.

DEMOCRATS and Liberal Republicans of each ward are requested to meet at their respective headquarters to make arrangements for attending the meetings of next Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Other business of importance will come before the meetings, and it is expected that every man will be on hand. member, Monday night.

MAJOR B. HUDSON'S "closing out sale" is attracting large attention. He sells any kind of goods in his store at prime cost, and no mistake. Give him a call, as everything is going off like hot cakes. Read his a-Jvertiseraent, and see what he tells you.

COL. MCLEAN, of this city, has an appointment to speak at Newport, Friday evening, which he will fill. Let the Vermillion county Liberal Republicans and Democrats take notice.

Gov. KOERNER will speak in Terre Haute Thursday night, October 3d, instead of October 2d. John B. Stoll will be here October 2J.

For the Gazette.

Conductor Harry Douglass. Artemus Ward very quaintly observed that "every man has his forte.''1 It was the forte of Washington to be unlike any modern politician. He might ako have observed that it was the forte of General Grant to reject 110 present ever offered to him, and to appoint every ablebodied relative he had to office. He might further have observed that it was the forte of our friend Harry Douglass to be a most excellent and efficient railroad conductor. No one of the twelve hundred persons who went over on the excursion train to Indianapolis, to see our next President, could fail to be struck by the admirable manner in which he discharged the onerous burdens of the position to which he was temporarily assigned. The best of order was strictly maintained, and everything was conducted by system. If any of the numerous railroads now radiating from our city should engage Harry Douglass as permanent conductor, they would find in him a most efficient, accommodating and trustworthy officer.

Court News.

Eliza Beeler has brought suit in the Superior Court against the Indianapolis & Vincennes Railway Company for $8,000 damages, claiming that she is the owner of the northeast quarter of section 21, township 15, range 3 east, through which the company has constructed a railway line, and that in building the bridge over E igle creek they so obstructed the free passage of water that her land has been several times overflowed. There are several minor counts in the complaint, one of which is for damage done to growing crops when the road was first, built.

In room 1, Superior Court, Mrs. Margaret Preston is suing Messrs. McCoid & Wheatley for $2,000 damages, the complainant alleging that the burning of her boarding house, 189 South Alabama street, on May 27, 1872, was occasioned by sparks from defendants' planing mill chimney.

Iu the Common Pleas Court Mrs. Mary Asken is after John F. McVey for the same amount, claimiug it as a fair recompense for nursing and maintaining John A. McVey, an infant, from October, 1850, to October, 1869.—Indianapolis Evening Ncivs.

For the Trotting Association Meeting. Yesterday the Michigan delegation of horses arrived on the grounds of the Trotting Park Association, and entered at once into training for the races next week. They include the hor-es Brother Jonathan and Jennie, and knowing ones say they will run away with all the purses for which they are entered. Those who want to determine this matter for themselves, however, can do so by driving down to the park any morning or evening aud watching the horses on the track going through their daily exercise. Besides those already named in the Journal, Mohawk, Jr., Printer Boy, Silcadie, Golddust, Fleety, Golddust, St. Viriceut, Morrissey, Kate Hazzard and Pilot Temple have been entered aud will trot iu the several races. The rain of Tuesday has put the track in the best possible condition, and everything conspires to a successful season next week.—Ind. Journal.

State Fair Notes.

At noon yesterday the entries of live stock exceeded by fifty stalls the present accommodations. The carpenters are hard at work making up the deficit.

Nearly three hundred entries were made at the Secretary's office yesterday. Superintendent Caldwell reports that every train brings a greater or less number of articles intended for exhibition at the fair.

A car load of cattle, for exhibition at the fair, arrived from Canada last night. The old men in attendance at the State Fair are requested to assemble on Thursday, at 2 P. M., in the Superintendent's room, where the gold-rimmed spectacles offered by L. W. Moses, as a present to the oldest man in attendance, will be presented by that gentleman in person.

Amoug the entries yesterday were a number from the Southern States.—Ind. Sentinel.

TUESDAY afternoon some trees were blown down about twenty miles this side of Terre Haute, directly across the Vandalfti track. A freight train coming along after night, the engine mounted one of these obstructions, but no special damage was done beyond a detention of an hour and a half in cutting away and removing the trees. In several places the fences were blown down along the line of the road, giving free range to cattle. Some of the latter were killed by the train, and a good many were badly maimed.—Indianapolis Journal.

AT Trumbull's meeting in Freeport, an immense white hat, twelve feet high drawn by two horses, was carried in the procession. The man who got it up spent $§00 in 1563 to elect Grant A banper bore the inscription, "Mqrtpp puUbftt |B,' wgfiuld fiegteter,

BERLIX, Sept. 26.—Count Von Arnim, whose resignation as Minister of Germany to France, recently tendered in consequence of undisguised discourtesy shown to him by the Secretary in the French Capital, has withdrawn his resignation, and will return to Paris immediately.

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 2G.—In consequence of the serious spread of the rinderpest in English stock yards, the Danish authorities have, for the present, prohibited the importation of cattle from England, and imposed a heavy fine upon violators of the prohibition. Many of the recent importations of English stock have been found to be suffering from that disease, and it is feared the contagion may spread among Danish cattle. Great care is being taken to pre vent its outbreak.

VIENNA, Sept. 25.—Count Andrassy in receiving the visits from the political delegations, informed them of the recent visit of the Emperor Francis Joseph to Berlin for the purpose of manifesting the friendliness of Austria toward Germany, and the conference would be replete with beneficial results, not only to the powers immediately concerned, but to the whole of Europe.

Andrassy also stated that no convention then concluded between monarchs, but the mutual good fee'iug there displayed,and the friendly, harmonious nature Conference, are sufficient guarantees that it was held in the interests of European powers.

SPRINGFIELD, III., Sept. 26 —Rev. Peter Cartwright, the venerable and well-known Methodist apostle, died at his home in Pleasant Plains, this county, at half-past 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He was born in Amherst county, Virginia, on September 1, 1785, and was therefore 87 years and 24 days old.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.—At half-past 10 o'clock last evening a man named Jean Iveinig, residing at No. 185 Eighteenth street, committed suicide by shooting himself through the head with a pistol.

OSIIKOSII, Wis., Sept. 26.—A terrible fire occurred here yesterday at 5 P. M. It first broke oul iu Campbell's shingle mill,and as there was a perfect gale blowing it is hard to tell how much property was destroyed. Large piles of lumber, several houses, one mill and other property are already destroyed. Engines were sent for to Fonddu Lac aud Green Bay.

ST. PAUL, Sept. 26.—Intelligence was received yesterday that Strabacker, of the absconding firm of Lehman & Strabacker, jewellers, had- been arrested at Buffalo where he would be held to await the reception of a requisition from the Governor which had already been forwarded. Lehman, the other member of the firm, is still at large, tfiough his capture is confidently expected. The absconding firm "lit out" with about $30,000 worth of property aud a considerable amount of money, some of their victims being of Chicago.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 26.—A telegram from Fox Lake, Wis., states that yesterday a sailing party, composed of Joseph Bent, Jas. G. Parker, and Chas. Kaske, went out on the lake for a pleasure sail and as they did not return parties this morning went in search of them. Shortly afterward a man came into town on horseback with news that Mr. Parker had been found on Brown's Island, within three rods of a house, naked and dead. It is supposed that he swam ashore and died from exposure and exhaustion. Parties then went out in search of the rest of the party, and about 10 o'clock the boat was fouud capsized and young Caske still clinging to it, but before they could reach (him he dropped off and was drowned. Mr. Bent has not been found and his fate is not known, but scarcely any hope is felt that he is alive.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 26.—The National Liberal Colored Convention assembled this forenoon at 10:30. Prajrer by Dr. C. Davis, of Lexington, Ivy. The Secretary read an address to the Colored Liberal Republicans, from F. A. Boyd, of Louisville, appealing for aid to establish a Colored Liberal Republican newspaper, which was referred to the Finance Committee. Reports of the various committees being iu order, apart of the reports were read, when Walter Sorrell, of Maryland, moved that the Chair appoint a National Executive Committee, consisting of one from each State and Territory, which was adopted, and the Chair appointed the following as such committee: Alabama, Richard Mason Arkansas, Tabbs Gross Connecticut, J.

W. H. Chambers, of Indiana, then offered a resolution endorsing Charles Sumner's course toward the present Administration, his interest manifested in the colored race aud a hearty endorse' ment of the Liberal movement.

Several persons addressed the meeting The utmost good order prevailed throughout.

GREEN BAY, WIS., Sept. 28.—During a terrific thunder storm at this place yesterday, about4 o'clock A. M., a store belonging to Mr. Shettler was struck by lightning and set on fire. It was subdued before much damage was done. There wafc a fierce gale blowing all day.

SPRINGFIELD, O., Sept. 26.—S. K. Donovan, of Delaware, O., General Agent for the Central Life Insurance Company of Cincinnati, was arrested and brought to this city yesterday afternoon, charged with the embezzlement of $6,000 of the company's funds. He appeared before the Mayor and gave $2,000 bail.

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 26.—Andrea Sites, an old citizen, aged 80 years, while coming out of Kilbourne, Jones & Co.'s hardware store, yesterday, fell into a cellar, receiving fatal injuries.

FORT WAYNE, IND., Sept. 26.—Mrs. Hieber, who was shot through the shoulder by her husband last Saturday night, died last night. Hieber bad been arrested to await the result of the wound. He had threatened his wife's life several times previous.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.—Another probable, murder, Wm. Merritt,was knocked down from an iron tent pin, in the hands of Chas. Reynolds, in aside-show attached to Warner's Circus, last evening, and received wounds which may prove fatal. The parties had a quarrel previously. Reynolds is from Havre de Grace, Maryland, and Merritt from Zanesville, Ohio.

The carpenters have evidently succeeded, at least a majority of the strikers, in getting four dollars per day. Nearly all have returned to work. Advertisements now appear for men at advanced wages. The men have classed themselves as first and second class, the former to get four dollars, and the latter three dollars.

Kcform in the Nation.

The great question in the coming Presidential election is, shall there be reform in the National Administration

Ou the one side, Horace Greeley is the candidate who represents hostility to public robbery aud corruption. His success will mean that the public business shall hereafter be managed by honest men, who will not steal or bribe, nor allow stealing or bribery iu others.

On the other side, Ulysses S. Grant represents public robbery to a boundless extent, the sale of offices by members of his family, and the management of the public business by Secor Robeson, Chorpenning Cresswell, and the men whom George Francis Train and Oakes Ames bribed put through the law of 1864, which at one blow gave the Credit Mo* bilier twenty-seven millions of public money, and who, in 1871, passed the iniquitous amendment to the Army Appropriation bill which took a minion and a half in cash from the Treasury, aud relieved them from present danger of investigation and exposure.

Those who desire reform and honesty will vote for Greeley. Those who prefer public robbery, corruption, nepotism, present-taking the bribery of Congress, aud the foul reign of depravity and fraud, will vote for Grant.

But it is not merely these two candidates aud the cause which each represents that this election will pass upon. Above all, the American people are on trial, and the verdict will be rendered in November. Have they virtue and^intelligence enough to guard their treasury against official robbers, to keep their-» legislation pure from bribery, and to prevent the fatal consequences which must follow upon the sapping and rotting away of the very foundations of morality and integrity among themselves This is the great issue now to be decided. It is an issue whose importance infinitely transcends all personal considerations regarding candidates, and all predilections and prejudicies for or against either political party. On which side will the majority of American citizens be found when this great judgment comes to be recorded A\ Y. Sun.

THE problem of telegraphing iu the Chiuese language, to write which requires some 50,000 characters, has been solved in this way A few thousand of the characters most used are cut upon wooden blocks. On the opposite side of each block is- its number. Duplicates of such numbered blocks are at each telegraph station. The China merchant selects the blocks which express the thoughts to be transmitted. The operator telegraphs only the numerals designating thgpe blocks, wliiph enables the receiving operator to select Blqailar bJOSfcs fcjg

The Carpet-Bag Debt.

The rebel debt is a bugbear. There is no such debt, inasmuch as all Confederate bonds and notes were made payable subject to the recognition of the independence of the Confederate States by the United States. If there were any such debt, the South would not desire to pay it, since that region already rests under legal debts which threaten repudiation. Finally, if there were such a debt, and the South desired to pay it, the Fourteenth Amendment conclusively forbids it.

There is, however, a debt of the car-pet-bag States, amounting to $215,030,000, incurred mainly during the present Administration, by Grant's partisans in the South, owned by Henry Clews & Co. and other bankers, which there is a far greater probability our tax payers must pay, than that they will be called on to pay the rebel debt. Most of the bonds have been sold to these bankers for from 10 to 40 per cent, of their face. Probably not over forty or fifty millions have teen loaned to these carpetbag officers by the bankers, and a very handsome profit can be made by forming a ring at Washington to induce Congress to assume payment of these bonds. This would be no more redicuIous than our assuming the debt of San Domingo. It may be plausibly argued that, unless Congress assumes their payment, they will drift their States straight into repudiation, and that repudiation by eight States would depress our National credit and shatter our public and private securities by more than $215,000,000 in value. As they were incurred^ bv the Grant party iu the South, the Grant party iu Congress will naturally f\ei an interest in (heir payment—certainly more interest than Mr. Greeley's friends feel in the Confederate debt.— Chicago Tribune.

The Prospect.

We have cheering words lor our Liberal and Democratic friends. The most satisfactory information conies from every county in the State in regard to the result of the State election. A large majority of the voters of Indiana stand upon the platform of recoucilliation and purification, and they know and feel that the first step ill giving vitality to that platform is to vote-fQr Hendricks and Cravens, for the State, Congressional and county candidates whff^sail under that banner. The Grantites etfpept to carry the State by fraud. They hdye no hope of success by a fair vote. In these schemes of infamy they must be defeated,, and by dilligence and watchfulness they~wi.Il be defeated. Liberals and Democrats of Indiana, but a few days remain until election. Let not your zeal, your^nergy, your efforts flag but continue the good work see to it that not a frierid, of reform fails to vote that not an illegal vote is deposited in the ballot-box, and that the votes cast are honestly counted then we know that the verdict will be a victory that will thrill with joy, all over the land, the hearts of all who are striving for the restoration of union and fraternity—of economy, honesty, and purity iu the administration of the Government.—Ind. Sentinel.

From the Memphis Avalanche.

Fort Pillow's Bluff Banks Burning—A Subt^raneous Conflagration. One of the strangest of phenomena of the limes is reported to us from the site of old Fort Pillow, sixty miles above this city. It is no more nor less than that the bluff bank of the river, which rises fifty or sixty feet above the water level, is on fire, aud for the past several weeks has been burning like avalcano for a distance of several hundred yards along the east side of the river on a line ten or twelve feet above the water level. At night, a lurid flame or blaze of tire rises from the side of the blutf to a bight of two or three feet, which then spreads into smoke and passes on over the summit of the hill, distributing itself with the atmosphere and floatingaway fkyward. The steamer Celeste, on her last trip, passed the place in broad daylight, and at a time when a light wind blew from the shore, carrying the smoke toward the Arkansas shore, and covering the liver with a thick haze almost like fog. "What strange combustible formation composed the river bluff at the old fort, or what first set it on fire, to burn after the fashion described, is one of the most marvelous events of the times, and puzzles the people of the vicinity no little. We shall seek to be further informed on this wonderful phenomenon with no little curiosity. 6

From the St. Louis Railroad Register. The Brooks Insulator. The General Manager of the Pennsylvania Railway has issued an order directing that hereafter the Brooks parafin insulator, of standard size (six inches iu length), is to be used on all new telegraph lines of the company, and in repairs of the old ones. Mr. Cassatt says that he was induced to issue an order in July, 1870, directing the use of glass insulators, but that the experience with them during the two years has been very unsatisfactory, and that galvanometer measurements and records of the insulation of wires during rains, with both systems of insulation, has demonstrated the inferiority of glass which, by the way, hardly needed demonstration to electricians, most of whom in this country and elsewhere, sometime ago discovered that glass is not the thiug.

THE Springfield Journal says: Considerable excitement existed in Pana, 111., the other day over the question of issuing $100,000 in bonds to the Springfield & Southeastern Railroad to locate its machine shops there. A large number of voters assembled and the bonds were voted almost unanimously, but Mr. Little, the supervisor, refused to sign the bonds, although elected to do so. The matter had to be decided immediately, or Pana would lose the shops and Springfield would get them. It was finally settled by -some of the prominent citizens agreeing that the bonds should be executed. Mr. Little subsequently resigned, and Grove Lawrence, Esq., was appointed supervisor, who will carry out the wishes of the people. The work of erecting the shops will commence immediately and will be completed, it is expected, by the first of January.

A SILENT FIRESIDE QUARREL.—Grant is credited with having said that he would accomplish a certain object if it took all summer, but we have an illustration of the same spirit iu an aged couple now living in this county that far surpasses Grant or any other military chieftain of whom we read. The persons referred to are nearly ninety years of age, and although living in the same house with thoir grandson, and sitting opposite each other at the same table daily, ftive not exchanged a word for more than twenty years. The ill feeling thus cherished is the result of a trifling family jar, such as ought not to have disturbed the happiness of the family for an hour.—Rising Sun Recorder.

THE Congregational Church of Mattoon, through Dr. M. A. Jewett, of Terre Haute, was recently the recipient of a very fine communion service set, the gift of a wealthy lady of New7 York city.
