Editorial Notes.

Columbus bas a State House ring, and don't wear it very gracefully eithe.' Poor persecuted Pomeroy. He's going before Cougress to vindicate himself. Just the place to go for a vindication. He'll find many kindred spirits there.

Oakes Ames, it is reported, will not return to Congress before adjournment. Now, it is for Congresa»to say whether the "only honest man" in it shall ever return. Oakes is in bad company when in Congress!

President Grant will attend an agricultural meeting to-morrow, down in Delaware. -Look out for another oratorial outburst from the long-pent-up Presidential fountain head of eloquence.

Caldwell made a statement yesterday. He there set up a general denial to the charges preferred. Mr. Morton asked him if he would submit the statement under oath. He consulted with counsel and declined to submit the statement only on bis honor as a Senator. Could a statement be submitted on a flimsier foundation?

Mr. Voorhees was summoned before •the Credit Mobilier Committee yesterday. He was a member of the Pacific

Railroad Committee during the session of the 41at Congress. Mr. V. was interrogated as to the action of the Hon. James Brooks before that committee. Only that and nothing more. It is a high.honor to this talented gentleman that he had nothing to do with this stupendous steal. At least he has not been accused of having had anything to do with it. And the same can be said of Morton, and all other Indiana representatives except Colfax.

A WashingtonTspecial says the PostmasterGeneral has issued advertisements for bids for the new penny postal cards. It is the intention of the Department to have the postal cards ready for issue by the first of May. The Postmaster General has received orders from different parts of the country, in such numbers as to lead him to believe that 10,000,000 will be used the first year.

The optional temperance law, with some slight amendments, has passed the House of the Indiana Legislature by a vote of 53 to 36. A special to the Evausville Journal describes it as embodying the principles of the Ohio law. It prohibits the issue of a' license except Upon the petition of a majority of the

The State had a spirited"*discussion, yesterday, on the liability of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad to the payment of the State claim thereon. The discussion was brought about by the reading of the report of the Special Committe, to which the taking of evidence was referred. Mr. Brown, on behalf of the committee, raported that the. company had extended every facility to them for taking evidence that in the opinion of the committee the questions involved were of a legal character, which would have a hearing in the Owen Circuit Court, where a suit is now pending. They further exonerated the company from any intention of fraud or corruption. After a full and fair discussion,the Senate struck out that portion of the report exonerating the company from fraud, on the ground that such an allegation exists in the case pending in the Circuit Court, and that, therefore, there was danger of prejudging the case.

E. J. HUGHES, of Kockville, has brought an action in Vigo Circuit Court for libel against the firm of Foster Brothers, of this city, claiming $50,000 damages. The casus belli, is a publication by Foster Brothers in a recent number of the Rockville Patriot in which the veracity of Mr. Hughes is questioned.— Express.

A CORRESPONDENT writes the GAZETTE that Jentor, of Edgar county, Illinois, lost, by drowning, twenty-five head of fine blooded cattle, near Davis' Ferry, about thiry miles above this city. It appears that a herd of forty-five became frightened, and rushed in great disorder down the river bank on the ice, which gave way, and all were drowned but twenty head, which were rescued by the herdsmen, who did all in the power of men to save all of them.

MESSRS. CLARKE AND SHCENEKER contemplate the establishment of a general down town ticket office, for the disbursement o' tickets over the various Railroads centering here. They have the refusal of the basement of the National State Bank building for au office. Such an inststution would he a great convenience, and would doubtless remunerate the gentlemen taking the matter* in hand,^|: I V*

The GAZETTE has before suggested this, and is still warmly in favor of the project. Messrs. Clarke and Shcpnaker appear to bo just the gentleman to de

STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.

The Legislative Committee Examine the Institution, and also the Dinner.

Interesting Exercises.

Pursuant to previous announcement the Legislative Committee to examine into the condition of the State Normal School, came in on the 11 o'clock A. train, over the Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad, to-day. They were met at the depot by a Reception Committee, invited into"carriages and were rapidly driven to the Normal building and ushered into the reception room, where they laid aside their great coats, and were then shown into the presence of a reciting class in history. The exercises were con ducted by President Jones in person assisted by Prof. Hodgens. Very inter esting and instructive.

This was followed by a lesson in ortho epy, Lewis H. Jones, Prof, of Elocution conducting. This exercise was novel and entertaining to the spectators, and ap parenUjy very instructive to the class.

This was followed by an object lesson in grammar, conducted by Miss Bruce which, while it fixed the attention of the entire class—not knowing which would be called on next—also enlisted the closest attention of the visitors, so interesting the exercise. ip'

When this part of the programme had been rendered, the visitors were taken to the general recitation room to witness the dismissal of the school for the noon hour, which was done in the most or derly manner.

The gentlemen were then show* through the building from basement to garret, to see its unfinished condition They might have seen much more had they come on a rainy day, or \$hen heavy snow was just beginning to thaw,

While thus engaged, Breuning & A1 berts, the restauranters, and the ladies of the institution, were busily engaged preparing a sumptuous repast for the guests, in the ante-room. This they were invited to sample halt-past 1 P. M., the ladies of the school, acting the part of waiters pro tern. Dinner devoured, the students presented a petition, signed by over one hundred names. In this petition was set forth the wants and needs of the Insti tution, from the students' standpoint also showing how seriously they have felt the lack of better facilities. The Board of Trustees having previously pre pared a similar paper from their stand point, as managers.

Then, after having received some fur ther instructions in classes, and made some general observations, the gentle men were conveyed in carriages to the T. H. & I. R. R., and departed for the Capital city.

From New York City. NEW YORK, Feb. 7,—The Arcadian Club reception last night was a brilliant affair. Miss Faithful, Miss Dickinson, Madame Brinkerhoff, Madame Bishop? Mr. Bellew, Bret Hart, Edmund Yates, and a number of other ladies and gentlemen distinguished in science and art Were present.

The Liberal Republican "General Committee helda meeting last evening, for the appointment of a committee of seven on the city charter and for consultation with Mayor Havemoy^r. Hard knojcks were given to the Washington City cabal of Credit Mobilier bribe takers and the Tom Murphy ring.

The Tammany General Committee held a meeting last evening at Tammany Hall. Mayor Havemeyer was fully endorsed and praised for his efforts to defeat the attempt of the Legislature to make him a political nonentity.»

The officers here of the leading coal companies are very reserved regarding future movements, it is claimed that when the spring prices are promulgated they certainly will be lower than at present, probably 25 to 30 cents lower.

Dutch Heinrieh, the notorious bond thief, now confined in the Tombs for stealing bonds valued at $40,000, has been pronounced insane.

A Herald special from Mexico City, February 4, says the forces of General Layada, the rebel leader and communist, having been defeated in the battle before Quadaxalara and Mazatton are fleeing from Mexicans toward Tepee. Peace prevails in the reinaiuder of the Republic.

The Tribuue Washington special says there is a plan on foot which has for its object the assumption by the general Government of debts of Southern States to the extent of one hundred and twentyfive million dollars. The scheme originates with certain bankers in New York who .are large holders of bonds issued by ^tiie carpet-bag Governments South. Tht yhave employed lobby agents to quietry broach the project to the Congressmen and these lobbyists have been engaged! for several days at this work. They have been disappointed in getting support among the Democrats. They expected the Democrats to vote bodily for the scheme, together with all the Southern

Republicans. The bonds were bought at prices yanging from twenty to sixty cents on the dollar. Large quantities cost the holders nothing, for they were stolen by connivance with thievish State officials, and profit that it would acciue, by their.conversion into United Slates bonds, would be, probably, not less than $50,000,000. There is, of course no prospect that the job can be got through Congress this session, and it is probable its advocates will not feel sufficiently encouraged to put it in the form of a bill.

The Herald's special from Washington says that Morrill will organize his Credit Mobilier Committee at once, and Patter son will make his third statement. It is not probable that any action can be taken during the short period remaining ot th& session of the Senate. Colfax has his alibi prepared for the Poland Committee He asserts that Ames never paid him the ,200 check. It is rumored that the evi dence to be given will show that a large sum was paid to Gov. Ed. Morgan, when a U. S. Senator, for signing the first mortgage bonds of the Union Pacific.
