We heartily endorse this sentiment, and add that a better selection could not have been made.

INDIANA'S next Governor will speak in the Wigwam to-morrow night.—"Grant's Own"1' of yesterday.

There is certainly some mistake about the above, for HENDRICK'S is advertised to speak at La Porte on the evening ferred to.

ONE of our literary exchanges says Joaquin Miller will sail 1 or England on the 30th. He thinks tho Americans do not appreciate him, and hence he will make England his future home.

Louis SEEBURGER furnishes the Vandailia shops three barrels of tallow per week. If all the beeves he kills are as fat as the one he had on exhibition from Vermillion county, this morning, it would not take many bovines to keep the Vandalia supplied with the fat of the land.

TICKETS.—We are prepared to furnish tickets for counties at the most reasonable rates, and on the shortest notice. The State ticket at the head of our columns is correct, and it is important that tickets should be free of mistakes. Those procured at this office will be correct in every particular.

PETER BECKER, of Evansville, offered Ills idol, bis heart, which she did not accept he thenjoffered her his watch,which she fondly accepted. Peter then went forth to a gorgeous grove near by, put a pistol to his head, pulled the trigger, and forthwith his disappointed young life petered out.

State Fair Notes.

Preparations for the coming fair are everywhere noticeable. The officers have been busy this week systematizing matters, and are certain of being fully prepared for every emergency. A heavy force of extra clerks have been engaged and every one will be attended to. The making of so large a proportion of the entries at so early a day has enabled the Secretary and Superintendent to provide amply for all.

Horsemen are making good use of the time track in training their fast nags The primiums on speed amount to $1,465, and there is no entry fee charged in any department.

The success of the fair for 1872 is so well assured that the officers have al ready commenced planning for the fair of 1873. With proper management the Indiana State Fair may be made the best in the country. Our State Board of Agriculture is probably the wealthiest institution of the k:nd in the country.

It would be wise in future for the State Board to establish a rule requiring all entries to be made thirty days before Fair week. This would afford the officers time to attend fully to the wants of all and exhibitors would reap a good inter est in the better accomodations they would secure.

Carlos Dickson, the Treasurer of the State Board of Agriculture, who has been absent for some time past, attending to busiuess at Philadelphia, returned yes^ terday, and will be at his post during Fa week.

Citizens are responding liberally to the request for assistance in decorating the halls on the Fair grounds.

MONEY ORDERS ON GERMANY.—The Postmaster of this city has been notified by the P. O. Department that the Postal Money Order system between the United States and the German Empire will be put in operation October 1st. The fees to be charged will be: On orders not ex ceeding $o, fifteen cents over $5 and not exceeding $10, twenty-five cents over $10 and not exceeding $20, fifty cents, over $20 and not exceeding $30, seventy-five cents over $30 and not ex ceeding $40, one dollar over $40 and not exceeding $50, one dollar and twenty-five cents. No single order to be issued for more than $50, but enough orders may be issued to make up any desired amount. By an agreemeut between the two governments, the thaler of Germany will be considered as equivalent to seventy-five cents in United States coin of gold value. —Journal.

JESSE B.- YOCUM who lives about three miles west of town, lost two horses by lightning during the storm of Tuesday. They were standing near a tree in the pasture which was struck, and were instantly killed.— Brazil Miner.

J. D. ARNOLD, of St. Paul, this State, has sold his race horse Ottawa to J. G. Reynolds, of White county, for $1,000. Ottawa won the $600 purse at Terre Haute.—Ind. Sentinel.

THE South Bend Tribune tries to get up a sensation by revamping Brick Pomeroy's old and silly story about au adult person's sex being changed.—Ind. Sentinel.

In What Sense is Amnesty the Great Issue? In the admirable speeches Mr. Greeley is making in his Western trip, the issue which he perpetually puts into the foreground, which he touches in all his longer addresses—the one central topic around which as a pivot all his ideas circulate and to which they return after every digression—is amnesty amnesty complete and universal amnesty without qualification or reserve amnesty immediate aud all-embracing. He advocats it as assiduously as the ancient Hebrews were commanded to inculcate their laws. "Thou shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, aud when thou liest down, and when thou risest up and thou shalt bind them as a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as a frontlet between thine eyes and thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates."

By singling out this oue topic of the Cincinnati platform, and lifting up like a banner on the heights of a citadel, keeping it perpetually in view with its ample folds ever waving in the wind to fix the eyes of his supporters, Mr. Greeley is giving that issue a rank and promi nence which it did not seemjto hold in the writteu platform until he became its expounder. What he is really doing is to substitute himself for the platform. But this is what usually happens in a political canvass. The long, formal declaration of principles (unless it contains some blunder for adversaries to carp at or harp upon'i is seldom remembered three days after its publication, and the personal sentiments of the candidate become the real platform of every Dolitical party. Who remembers a syllable of the platform ou which Grant or Dix was nominated Who ever recurs to or thinks of discussing any declaration put forth in either All that is vital in a canvass is represented by the character and personal opinions of the candidates. The rest is lifeless surplusage or a vain form of words. Mr. Greeley takes that part of the Cincinnati platform which renders his own nomination preeminately fit and appropriate, and lays upon it all the stress and emphasis of his speeches. As the early, zealous, steady, courageous and consistent champion of amnesty, he outranks every public man in the country. Even when the whole North was incensed and stirred to vengeance by the assassination of President Lincoln, Mr. Greeley braved the fury of the people by advising mercy to the South. He evinced his sincerity by going to Richmond and signing the bail-bond of the archrebel, facing, at great personal cost, a howl of obloquy from his owu political party. But he stood his grouhd, and poured scorn aud defiance on his assailants. No man in the couutry has so well earned a title to be the standard-bearer of amnesty as Mr. Greeley.—New York World.

Our Presidential Election—How an Englishman sees It. In November next, the election for President of the United States takes place. The contest is between two men equally distinguished in their very opposite vocations. General Grant is perhaps the first soldier in the country, whilst Mr. Greeley is a man of great eminence as a journalist, a lecturer, and a philanthropist. When the candidature of Mr. Greeley was announced, it was ridiculed and denounced by the English Times as an absurdity, and success-dog-matically declared impossible. What had he ever done that justified such distinction? He was described as a mere dreamer—a man whose notions aud ideas were thoroughly impracticable—and as oue in every respect utterly unsuited to hold the high office of President of the United States. Somehow or another, however, the candidature of the thoroughly impracticable man has been received with immense favor by a large portion of the American people, aud even the Times now admits tliat the candidate it coarsely denounced four months ago has just as good a chance of elation

NEW YORK,September 28.—Yesterday the grand jury ended its labor for the term by bringing into court another large batch of indictments. They have considered three hundred cases and found about 250 indictments, sufficient to keep the General Sessions Court fuily occupied the remainder of the year. It is understood it was in consequence of the enormous business to be transacted iu the General Sessions that the District Attorney, yesterday, moved to have the indictments against Tweed and other ring operators removed to the Oyer and Terminer, as each case will occupy a month.

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—At the meeting of the Board of Apportionment, yesterday, seven hundred thousand dollars was appropriated to Department of Parks for erecting a museum of natural history and art iu Central Park.

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—A special dispatch from Reading, Pennsylvania, says the railroad excitement there is greatly allayed, and everything quiet awaiting legal decision. The situation is'unchanged, and the advantage, if any, is resting with the Wilmington & Reading and Berks Company's Roads the new combination against which the old monopoly, Philadelphia & Reading have been so strenuously battling.

The new company has possession of the street for which the contest has been waged, the Philadelphia & Reading Company having been ejected by order of the city authorities. After the order was issued theneWcotbpany commenced laying tracks, but were stopped by an injunction granted by the Supreme Court. Argument on the question will be heard in Philadelphia to-day.

The Judge then announced that he would hold court open until midnight, in order to give the jury a chance to come to an agreement and not be locked up. At midnight word came from tb$ jury room that no decision had yet been agreed upon, and that there was but little prospect of them agreeing on the verdict. The court then adjourned until this morning.

Immediately after the adjournment of Court Mr. W. G. Curtis, counsel for Mrs Fair, withdrew to a restaurant near the court room for the purpose of taking diu ner and while drinking a glass of water was overcome by weakness and fell faiuting'to the floor. The excessive heat of the court room,together with the men tal excitement attending his labors during the trial on behalf of Mrs. Fair had thoroughly prostrated him and he was scarcely able to bear up duriug the close of the trial. At this hour, 3 A. he is still unconscious.

JEFFERSONVILLE, IND., Sept. 27.General W. Harrow was announced to speak here to-night to the Democrats and Liberal Republicans, but was seri ously injured by an accident on the New Albany & Chicago Railroad, while on his way to this city. His appointment was filled by Judge Carlou and Hon. J. V. Keise, of New Albany. Our Wigwam was packed full, and hundreds are standing in front, unable to secure admission. The utmost enthusiasm prevailed. The Democrats and Liberals are alive, and Southern Indiana will give the State and National ticket a larger majority than ever was before polled.

The Republican meeting, addressed by Jason B. Brown, was a complete fizzle. His appearance here created but little enthusiasm among the Grantites. Their procession was composed of fourteen men aud a few boys.

KOKOMO, Sept. 27.—Notwithstanding the great amouut of money spent by the officeholders, the Ben Butler rally here to^day was a truly magnificent fizzle. Only sixty-three wagons were in their grand procession, and eighty-seven men and boys in their regiment of cavalry. Old Spoons spoke to less than twelve hundred people, all told. We will dou ble discount them next Thursday at Senator Doolittle's meeting. Score one for Howard.

A.CTON, September 27.—P. W. Bar tholomew aud W. T. Royse had a rousing meeting here last night. The house was jammed full. Old Franklili is good for two hundred for Hendricks and Greeley.

Sudden Death of General Harrow. The sudden, ahd we may say, the shockihg death of Geheral William Harrow, will be read with painful interest by the people of Indiana, without distinction of party, for he had served the State and the country honorably and gallantly, both as a civilian and a soldier. General Harrow was a candidate for Elector on the Greeley and Brown ticket, and ou his way from New Albany to Jeffersonville to fill an appointment for ptibliQ speaking, riding in a caboose on the railroad, the car was thrown off the track, caused by a broken rail. General Harrow was thrown out of the car and then the car upoh him, receiving injuries from which he died in a few hours. General Harrow lived in MountVernon, Posey countyj and he was a lawyer of fihe practice. The warm-hearted, impulsive and genial qualities of the deceased made him a pleasant companion and attached to him many devoted friends.—Ind. Sentinel.

THE speeches of Mr. Greeley are doing au immense service all over the Union. It is admitted that he is an intellectual prodigy—that never before have we had a candidate for President who was capable of such extraordinary exertions, and who, whether he is before a mechanical exposition, agricultural fair, or political assembly, puts in a brilliant appearance. Most men have their particular hobbies, and can only speak well upon them. But Mr. Greeley sterns to understand every thing, aud to instinctively say the right thing in the right place. The world generally will indorse the high compliments passed upoq them by the Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees, of Indiana, who, strongly against biba in the commencement, now says that "Mr. Greeley's addresses have had no equal or parallel in American history." Mr.* Voorhees himself is one of the first of our orators, and there are none more capable of judgihg. The favorable effect produced upon his mind has been that which has been felt by thousands and tens of thousands of others.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

THE races next week will all be honest, square contests. All the horses entered have made fast records, and there can no be possible inducement to hold any of them in. The free for all race, on Friday, the horse men say, will be one of the most exciting ever trotted in the country. For it are entered Flora Belle, Red Cloud, Mohawk, Jr., Kilburn Jim, Pilot Temple, Jennie, Brother Jonathan, Morrissey. The races commences Tuesday, on which two races, a three minute and 2:38 will be trotted. For the former are entered Kentucky Girl, Edgar, Nixie, Brown Mary, Nettie Collins, Membrino, Grace, Tramp, Nellie and John H., aud for the latter, Burlington, Saint Vincent, Billy Tonner, Natcher, Alvina, Silcadie, Golddust, Lottie, Badger Girl, Red Dick, Minnie, Printer Boy, Pocahontas Boy.—Ind. Journal.

CHEERING news comes up from all parts of the State as to the results of the meetings and speakings. If Hendricks does not carry the State by 20,000 majority we shall be greatly deceived. Democrats in the southern part of the State are giving odds, betting two to one, and paying for OP {jLgjigrickS,—Jnd.

TERRE HAUTE, IN J).: SATURDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 28, 1872. NO. 102.

If Grant were Emperor Could he do More A little incident which has just occurred in Mount Morris in this State exhib its iu a striking light the demoralization which exists in our civil service, and the unbounded insolence of the tools of the Administration who are in office.

Some weeks ago a person from Mount Morris said in Hornellsville that more than one hundred Democrats in the former place would vote for Grant. Mr. S, M. Allen, believing the assertion to be false, wrote a letter addressed to the President of the Greeley club in Mount Morris asking for the facts. In reply he received a letter signed E. G. Grimes, so filled with lies and misrepresentations that Mr. Alley was satisfied at once that it came from a Grant man. He sent the letter to Mount Morris, where it was ascertained that no such man as E. G. Grimes .was kuown there, and that the letter signed with that name was in the handwriting of Jacob A. Mead, the Mount Morris Postmaster, and a Grant man of course When the matter became public this insolent official published a letter in which he admits that he opened and answered Mr. Alley's letter, and complacently avows that he has been in the habit of looking over all circulars and letters addressed to Grant or Greeley clubs "to see if there was anything new for the campaign."

The postal service of the couutry has arrived at a pretty state when not only are Grant electioneering documents permitted to circulate through the mails in vast numbers under forged franks, and newspapers opposed to this corrupt Administration withheld from their subscribers, but postmasters unblushingly proclaim that they are iu the habit of inspecting correspondence which they suspect is of a* political character.—N. Y. Sun.

THE Grant papers complain that, whereas they were tryi.ig to buy Mr. Hasiaurek, and had offered him fiteen thousand dollars to declare for Grant.,, he efused to do the job for less than double the sum, ami iu default of it, declared for Greeley, for nothing. What uuder the suu they expect to gain by thus tell ing of their own infamy, and how it was foiled, we are bothered to understand. Is it the attempt to bribe they want to boast of, or the fact that when they tried it they failed? Aud isn't it probable that men, who admit having tried to bribe editors, are likely also to be capable of lying about it ?—New York Tribune.

ENGLISH (jls.—London has salaried inspectors of gas, whose duty it is, on re quest of a consumer, test the quality of gas supplied, the stahdard being that it must possess all illuminating power not less than that of 16 spermaceti can dies. If it is to fall below this standard fine of one hundred dollars is to be im mediately levied upon the company, without power of appeal on their part. The price paid for gas varies in different parts of England from 72 cents to $1.08 per 1,000 feet.

THE Providence Journal has a pleasant article on "The Shady Side of Trout ing." The real shady side of trouting, however, is to take a party out among the hills of Pennsylvania and get them all drunk. If the President of the United States happens to be among them it will be all the shadier. Ask Simon Cameron
