Unjust Reflections.

To the Editor of the Gazette: Under the Head of "Amusements," I read this evening your editorial remarks and.- commits touching the three concerts given by the Mendelsohn Quintette Club and Miss ICellogg, at the Opera Houso, on Friday., Saturday and Sunday evenings.

Regarding the reputation of that club, or the merit of thoir musical performance, I have not a wori to say. I grant that all you say of them and of the famous* feomposGrs that" make up their programme is true to the letter. But it is to the reasons which you assign why they performed "to a beggarly array of ompty benohes" that I wish to say a word. You attributa it to a lack of tsste and refined'5 culture among the citizens of Terro- Haute. Yon even intimate too strongly that their absence from those concerts was on account of the .high order of the music, and that in needed only a more "flimsy performance, with a dash of indecency thrown in to spice it" and they would have turned out in sufficient numbers to fill all the benches. Now this is a reflection, that can not stand before the facts in this case. The circumstances do not warrant the imputations cast forth: Where in this city will"'yoti'find the best of pi'usical taste, high culture of the art, liberal and appreciative patronage, if not in the Protestant and Evangelical churches of the city? No city, probably, can boast of more. Then why let it bo known, did they not turn out to fill the seats of the Opera IIouso on the nights referred to? Bscauso there was being held at the Dowling Hall, cti tho same 6venihgs, moetings of a higher order, in their estimation. Dowling Hall was filled to overflowing, on each of the aforesaid nights to hear the word of God sounded forth as in ancient days and to listen to songs, more heavenly, more inspiring, more elevating to tho human soul, than the compositions of the world's most famous composers."

But it is not quite in advance of the g»od old "Puritan" notions, and the setting, aside of a .most wholesome custom and Chtistian taste, to ask church going people to forsake the houses where they worship God on Sunday evening, and go to an entertainment at the Opera House, 'speciously'called "a Sacret Concert?" Right glad am I that the good people of Terre Haute, most of them, have shown both principal and good taste, in giving preference, under the circumstances, to that which begets higher sentiments, to that which is more purifying, to that which prepare the mind ahd heart for the most exalted music the soul can cohceive of. Now, let there be no strife, my friend Ball, "between me and thee," and between my folks and your folks, "for we be brethren." Only udgo thou hertafter, according to righteous judgment. .• ,P.

Towa Talk and HI Trials. Poor Town Talk!- ", He has always had my comisseration. Ho belongs to that unfortunate class of localizers who are compelled to exude periodically into a vat called a special department. Hs is especially unfortunate in being forced to boil 'oVdr, punctually and regularly, iu time for the country edition of that goody. goodyj paper, the Mail and if the Hail had-no) country edition he would have to ^bubble in good time for the cityi editiorl, thus being forced into a periodicity as regular as that of the scissors grinder,. or the sausage vender Such a pressure, ss this, compels any. poor mortal to dismount from Pegasus, and put: himself astride tho running gears of a pair of long ears. Who can keep :the fires of the muses glowing when he is compelled to drive through so many lines of minion whether he has a theme or not? A man running awaywithout a coat is compelled in self preservation to take one, though- it be theft so a poor contributor, compelled to rnn his pen through a column anda half, without any subject, is compelled to take one even if there is a good deal of covert impertenance in it To be sure the man who loses the coat can get satisfaction by having the thief sent to.prison. But fortunately society allows that poor wright, the special department contributor, to steal any number of a man's private aflairs, just so h'd is not a big enongh fool to slander him outright. Good society! Manly contributor!

It is so mortifying too, to be compelled to throw mud on one heel aud wipe it off with the other, but the poor goy who must drive a spegot Into his cerebellum fifty-two times per yeiar has.'no ther resource. The class as a class Hone of the most modest, but a man going many times over the samo road, oi course must often pass the same wayside donkey, so it happens that localizers, like gentle Town Talkers, are compelled to put the same thing in a good many attitudes, and to make that same thing to be themselves. Any of them is liable to be cornered into the expedient pf putting a .thing, or occurrence, in too lively colors, in order that he may have the chance of retouching it. But, do not other trades do the eainei thing? What a pity that so noble a •ailing serving up dishes ol 'local

sausage, though it is made from scraps, should be driven to the use of "expedients,"—hateful word! It has the misfortune to have about the feame odor as its sister "tricks."

There aro those who have so little compassion as to blame Town Talk for making Deacon Ryce tho grain for a half grist. 01 course everybody knows tliero. is no possible relation bstween the coming of tho Quintette Club and the Young Men's meetings, but then necessity knows no law, and when one is knocking a persimmon, just as well knock a big one as a little one. Deacon Ryco resounds much louder when struck than a smaller vessel, besides 'one of the principles of practical iifeis to lay hold of whatever comes to your hand, and make the most of it. The Deacon's case, too, will allow an admirable use of the throw mud on "with one heel aud wipe it off with the other expedients If-ono does put such a subject in the wrong pew, he can come back and sit him in the right one. Town Talk has charity toward all and raalieo toward none, and it is to be hoped the relation is mutual, since there is so fine a field for the exorcise of this cardinal attribute. SIL,EX.

CONGRESS.

The Organization of tbe House.

1 ELECTION OF OFFICER*.

(Jetting Ready fer Business.

HOUSE.

Mr. Kelly of Pennsylvania, as the oldest member of the House in continuous service, administered the oath of office to the Speaker.

The oath was then administered by thespeaker to the members, beginning with those of the New England States, who, on being called, ranged themselves in the area in front of the clerk's desk, and there with uplifted hands, went th ough their part of the ceremony.. What is known as tho ironclad oathr was the- form administered to the' memjbers generally, but sixtyone of tbe Southern members being unable to take thb oath, the modified oath was administered to them.

Wood, of New York, objected to Morey of Louisana, and Garlfeld objected to Goode, of Virginia. Therefore, these gentlemen were not permitted to qualify. Subsequently, Wood offered a resolntioh referring the credentials of Morey and Spencer to the committee on elections, with instructions to report which of them is entitled to a seat. Ho said he did not propose to raise the question as to who was the legal Governor of Louisiana. It was not pertinent to. this, inquiry to determine that question tho. sole and exclusive being as to what form of credentials the respective claimant^ presented.

Blahe/ declared that there was no more official ground for speaking of John McEnery as Governor of Louisiana, than there was of speaking of Mr. Wood, of New York. No department of the Government had ever recognized ..McEuery, and the House at its last session, by a very large vote, to which many of the gents on the Democratic sido of the house were consenting,- and many of them anxious that the resolution should pass solemnly recognized''Kellogg as Governor of Louisiana^ and for the gentleman from Now York to make the statement that the Governorship ql Louisiana was still a matter of doubt, or jvas still in suspense, was to l^ce the Houso in a wrong position. He thought that the -Clerk would.have been perfectly justified in tearing up as waste paper the credentials signod by McEhery. He trusted that the gentleman from New

York did not wish to open the wholj Louisiana case on this question. Wood replied that the pn'pera in case of all tne members from Louisana were themselves a sufficient answer to the gentleman. For il there was no possible question as to who was Governor of Louisana, why was it that all the members of that State had deemed it neceBary to obtain certificates of McEuery? They had all deemed it important to cotrie here clothed with certificates from each of their so called Governors. He did not propose to raise his imaginary question, as to who was or who was not Govenor of Louisana? but the question to be determined in the first place wais, whether Morey presentjd credentials that entitled him to a seat on this floor.'

Wheeler said he had trusted that question as to,wLo was Governor of Louisana, had been set at rest-, at least until the next general election, and regretted that for paltry advantage it should be again raised. Not only had Kellogg been recognized as Governor of Louisana by the President of the United States, and by both Houses, but also by the people of Louisana, and by solemn statute passed by the Legislature at its extra session held last April. Besides this man Spencer, had absolutely foreclosed himself, by Laving made himself a contestant.

Frye: Is there on record sincO the election held in 1872 in Louisiana, a single official act of McEnery except this single one of signing those certilicates?

Wheeler: Not one. Wood remarked that the question Settled at the last session had been confined entirely to the relations of the Legislature, not'to the election of Governor.

Lamar said that the Clerk~ of- the House had made known to' the House the existence of a controversy not on-: ly with reference to th© merits of the question, but with reference^ to his prima lacie.right to a seat in the HoiiBe. Tbe House was in possession of the fact that-tbere was such a controversy. It might be a very simple and a very intelligible qurstion but still it was a question of law as to whether this certificate was signed by the proper Governoo.ornot. It had been crystalized idto a regular parliamentary law, that a question inuolvibg the prima facie right as well as the. merits of tbe question, should be referred to'the Committee bn Elections.

Blaine asked Lamar whether: in the, history of th?. House be knew pf any case where the. credentials: of ]a memsigned by a pretended Governor,, who had never been recognized as Governor by any department '.of... the. UnitedStates or by his own State, bad ever been referred to the .committee" He trusted that his friend Lapnar, with hfs well known nooderatianj-vwould: restrain his party from placing -. on. record such an outrage, not only".oh State rfghts, of which he, Lamar, was such an exemplar and -advocate, -.bat on rules of common decency as weil.

Lamar remarked th© question-wheth-er one of these pretenae«d Governors was a real Governor or not was .thevery question to be refferred to the committee.

Blaine—Then I understand, the gentleman that this is a formal opening of the whole Louisiana case, and- not merely a question as to the seating of a member?

Lamar—The gentleman siniply understands that a question which tbe Clerk of tlio House has r6QiitKed to tUe House it whether ornot it involves the other question aa to the validity of a fiTuberuato Incuuibftnt of 3jooiwflnafis a question which ought not to be decided fn .seating-^of a member, bttf ought, to be formally referred to the committee, and gravely

and maturely decided. Blaine \asked whether it was not a matter of history that last year, in what was known as the Louisiana adjustment, it was perfectly understood that the vote of the House declaring Kellogg to be final Governor, was a final settlement, and whether th© venerable gentleman from Georgia (Stephens)the very Nestor of the Democraticparty, had not voted with the Republicans, in order avowedly that it might be a final settlement. Did bis honorable friend (Li'mar) come here now to head a movement to trample 011 tho other side of that agreement, and to reopen tho whole case

Lamar admitted that thcro had been a compromise last session, and that that compromise did acknowledge Kellogg as acting Governor of Louisiana. Ho hoped that gentleman from New York (Wood) would, acting on the suggestion of the hour, modify bis resolution by omitting the preamable, and merely referring tlie matter to the Committee on Elections,with instructions to report on the prima facie case

THE FIRE .DAMI'..

Tcrriflc Explosion in an English Colliery.

One Hundred null Forty Llvfs Lost

London, Dec. C.—The colliery in which thefdreadful explosion occurred to-day, belongs to Mitchell & Co., and is one of the largest in Southrrn Yorksheir. It is joined underground with Edmund's main colliery Where twelve years ago yesterday over 360 persons perished. The works extend for many mileB under ground. They are worked with safety lamps under a very rigid discipline, and were considered safe. At six 6'clock this morning about 300 men and bovs descended and commenced work as "usual. At halfpast nine a terrible explosion occured. The exact position of the explosion is not known at the present time, but the miners in all parts of the pit were startled by a loud report, .followed by large volumes of smoke and damp. Those who were able rushed to the pit bottom, but the drawing cage was displaced. As soon as possible volunteers organized to search for the dead and dying, and those who had escaped. After they had been down for some time,the volunteers roported that they met with great difficulty. They" saw many who were alive, but unconscious. It is impossible now to give the number lost. It is feared that'the first report, 200, will be confirmed, thqugh tha managers of the colliery hope that many may be saved. Operators and collieries: of th© district are on the spot ready and anxious to do all th©y can for the relief of 'the sufferers. All the local surgeons have also arrived. All of those rescued so far are seriously injured. Hundreds of men, women and children are congregated at the month of the pit, and as the disfigured bodies are drawn to th© surface, the scene is of a most heart-rendering character

London, Dec. 6.—The latest accounts froui the Swathe colliery iindicato that the total number of lives lost is 140. The explosion was caused by careless blasting operations. ArtotliGr disaster of a similar character is reported to day in a! coal mine near Pentyrch. in South Wales, where twelye were, kill: ed and ten injured.

Ward, of this city, received a request this morning from the Attorney General, to resign his office of United States District Attorney for tha Norther., district of Illinois.

Milwaukee, Dec. 6.—Th© case of Burlach & Reynolds, rectifiers, and Taft, guager, came up before Judge Dyer, in the United States Circuit Court this forenoon, on the charge of conspiracy. Tbe Judge ruled that Taft should have a separate trial by jury, and tbe case will proceed to trial to-uiorrow.

European Grain Market.: London^ Dee. 6.—The Mark! Lane Express' leview of the grain markets of last week say that the unusually severe winter having completely Stopped field labor and partially, closed the Baltic, has caused the wheat market to hardeu .somewhat, but owing to the quantity.of grain in grainery, there is but little prospect of a material advance before, spring. The character of the weather: then, will be unusuailyiniipTfrtaut Should anything unfavorably happeir, 'an ad* vance of ten shillings would easily occur.

A Detroiter of libar tl education has been greatly annoyed because his wife and other womeu are not better posted on history and other matters connected with the growth or welfare of the country. The other day he carried home a big history and handed it to his spouse with the remark. "There, Mary, I want you to commence at page one and see if you can't-learn something."

She agreed to become his pupil, and when be came home to supper he found her reading away, hair down, slippers on, all the fires out but one, and no sigh of supper. "Whv. how's this?M he inquired ''are you sick?" "SickJ No." "•Well, Where's my supper?" "I don't know any thing about your supper," she replied as she settled

back in her chair, "but I can tell you all about the first discovery of Flor« ida as straight as a stf iiig!"

That history hasn't been opened since that evening. 1

ANEW SCRIPTURE.

What the Baatitudcs woula bo According to Prot. Tjrndall. CHAPTER I.—LESSON I.

TWELVE BEATITUDES.

1. Blessed are tha littie children who fight, for they thus early learn tho strugglo of lifo. 2. Blessed are tho peaco-breaker3, for they are in harmony with nature. 3. Blessed are tho proud in spirit, for they have self-assertion, 4. Blessed aro they who rejoice, for they shall have a good time while time lasts. 5. Blessed aro tho impure in heart, for they shall have tho gratification of their lusts.

G. Blessed are th© unrighteous, for they shall stir up strife and keep the laws of nature in healthy activity. 7. Blessed are the merciless, lor they like natute, are "pitiless." 8. Blessod aro those who are persecuted for evolution's sake, lor lis heaven shall be theirs. 9. Blessd are ye when meu shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you truthfully, for you have a foretaste of that heaven which science is preparing for you: for so persecuted they the scientist which were before you. 10. Blessed are war, famine and pestilence, for they do help nature in tho destruction of tho weak, and in preparing the way for the "survival of the fittest. 11 Blessed are the dead who die in Tyndall, for they shall disappear as "a streak in the evening sky, lost in the infinite azure of the past"—.which is splendid. 12. Blessed aro they which are without hope, for they shall not be disappointed.

TI19 Agreemect.

A resident of Beaubien street secured a place for his boy to learn a trade a few weeks ago, having a written agreement with the manu« facturer The boy proved very de« structive on machinery and window glass, and finally, the other day, the manufacturer called upon the father and said: •I can't keep Henry any longer, his recklessness has cost me oyer $200 in four weeks." •What's the matte*?" inquired the ffttbor* "Why, he has broken over twenty panes of glass, for one thing, and the other day he destroyed a piece of machinery which cost me $140."., "He did, eh?" ,'Yes, he did."

Well, when I go home I'll look at our agreemeut," said the father* ,'I don't think t'tere is any clause in it which says he shan't break'win» dows or machinery, but I'll look to mtTke sure!"
