Monday Evenings Jan. 10,18JG.

THE Milwaukee Sentinel admits the fact that Chicago receives more letters than any other city in the West, but puts this ungracious interpretation on the fact. It as3er1s that Chicago's letters are mostly from Bostou,and mainly to the effect that if the interest those notes is not paid, the mortgages will be foreclosed.

A FRIEND of the human race who thinks man the noblest animal in creation, finds fault with the fact that the "Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals" had been in existence two whole years before anybody thought to organize a ''Society for the prevention of cruelty to children." His head is level. The cart is before tha horse.

ALL the signs of the times point to the. selection of Indianapolis as the point for the location of the Governments new branch mint.

Our State Capital will secure the prize over Cincinnati. St. Louis and Chicago all of which cities were contestants for the distinction. Of course all Indianians are proud to have their Capital city carry off the palm.

THE New York Times is troubled in its dreams with the spectre of a generabEuropean war, It has been studying the situation, and gives its gloomy views in the. following not over cheerful statement of the peace prospects for 18G7. It says:

It cannot oo denied that the present indications of the year 1S76 being peaceful one are not very strong, Prophets of evil always abound but no one can consider the present condition of affairs in Europe without seeing reason to ..believe that'serious troubles areimpending. The great nations are all preparing for war, not for peace, England has at length taken a stand which will render it almost impossible for her to preserve neutrality in the event of a collision between the Con-tinental-powers. Her new interest in Egyptj whatever may be said in its favor, undoubtedly exposes her to some new dangers. Honer will oblige her to defend the Suez Canal. Sometimes tha general anticipation of war has the effect of preventing it, and we hope it wiil so turn out in the present instance. But it ia not the less certain that the political atmosphere of Europe is at this moment heavy with black clouds.

A lucky Misclianc

Gen. Reuben Williams, editor-in chief of the Fort Wayne Morning Gazette, 13 indebted to a telegraph ic blunder in a signal fashion. It seems that when a list of appoint" ments was sent over the wires, his name by an entire mistake, appeared as having been appointed Deputy Second Comptroller of the Treasury. It was a complete surprise to him, as it also was to the Indiana Senators and Representatives. Morton, who has gotten in a measure accustomed to Grant's overbearing habits, and Is no longer surprised when an Indian ian receives an appointment without his suggestion, determined to make the best of the matter, and at all events make Williams believe that he was the manipulator of the appointment. He telegiaplied him therefore immediately after he read his appointment in the New York papers and urged hint to accept. Williams, of course has been making piles of money in his paper and prefered the quiet of home life to the bustle of politics and all that sort of thing, but finally like Barkis expressed himself as being "willin." Then Morton went to Bristow telling him that Genl. Williams had telegraphed him his readiness to accept. At this point Bristow who had not read the list in the papers, stated that no man by jihe, name of Williams had been appointed. How the mistake occurred, though they strove long to ascertainf they could not discover. But one thing was evident and that was that they couldn't go back on Williams, and he an editor, in that cold blooded fashion, leaving him to the jibes and jeers of his fellows ia the craft. So they stirred themselves, and Williams did get the appointment sure enough, and so is, indeed, a soldier of fortune.

Democratic Co&vcnti n,

The Democratic State Central Committee for Indiana at its meet' ing the other day adjourned to meet on the 23rd day of February. The National Democratic Committee has designated the 22od day of Fet raary as the time for their meeting. At that time tbey will undoubtedly designate a day for holding the National Democratic Convention. Our State Committee meeting the day after this will thus be enabled to designate a time for holding the State Convention subsequent to the National Convention. In this way,the platforms of the different States can

be made to conform precisely in National issues with ,the general party platform. It is especially wise here in Indiana when it is not improbable that the views of many Democrats will have to undergo very decided modification before they can be made to harmonize with the p'utform which the party, beyond all eradventure, will adopt in National Convention. The prophet of the GAZETTE has been brooding on this question of the national Democratic platform,and prophecies that its platform will differ in no essential particular, if at all, from the doctrines which the GAZETTE, under its present management, has always advocated. Those principles are these, and we advise Democrats to make up their minds to support them.

First, hard money. Second, free trade. Third, administrative reform. Fourth, local.solf Government. Fifth, a strict interpretation of the constitution.

new

paper,entitled the Witness

has appeared upon our exchange table. It is a weekly and ia devoted t3. the interest of religion as exempli fied in the Methodist Episcopal church. Its place of publication in Anderson, Indiana. In make up general appearance and editorial ability it is a creditable specimen* But it was not so much that feature of the paper that attracted our at tention as the fourth section of the articles ot association. The provis ions of this section are so commend able, albeit there) is some chimeri cal about them, that we reproduce the section entire. It read?: 4lh. All profits accruing from the business of this association, after i-a serving such amount on amounts, as shall be thought by the Directors to be necessary for the successful transac tion oi the business herein confcemplat ed, and the further appropriation of ten per cent., upon the paid up stock as a dividend to the stockholders an ntially, shall ba appropriated to tho support of the superanuatedjpreachers their widows and orphans, ot the Indi ana Conferences of tho Methodist Episcopal church in the ratio of the circulation of the Witness in saiu conference respectively.

The stock, it should be premised is $5,COO, 10 per cent, interest, on which amounts to $500, a mere baga telle, of course, to a newspaper. Now the

GAZETTI?, in common with the rest of mankind, will rejoice at this prospective change in the estate of the superanuat'ed preachers, their widows and orphans from destitution to comfort, if not- indeed affluence, Out of the princely revenues of a new weekly paper, in jubilee year for newspapers they and their widows and orphants are to be transported from the Egypt of poverty to the promised land flowing with milk and honey. Our Methodist brethren are of course well posted in the words of holy writ and therefore need not be informed by the GAZETTE, although it id the staff aud support of the moral portion of this community, thai the Isralites tamed some forty years in the wilderness, subsisting in such chance mira* culous showers of manna and flocks of partridges afforded tiiem. In this respect the GAZETTE ventures to predict that the superannuated ministers, their'widows and orphans, will resemble the ancient Isralites. As to the stockholders and their ten per cent, dividends, which wiil be found to be over the left shoulder sort of dividends in the end, may kind Providence guard and protect thiem.

Cleveland, Jan. 8.—A meeting will be held on the 13th inst. for. the purpose of considering what measures are necessary to secure the repeal of the act of the last Congress known as the resumption act. A memorial to Congrees has been extensively circulated in this city, and has received the signatures of a very large number of prominent business men, petitioning the repeal of so much of the act as provides for the payment of U. 8. legal tender notes in coin on the firpt day of January, 1879, aud authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to sell the dispose of the bonds of the United States for the purpose of enabling him to redeem such legal tender notes also representing that in the judgment of the peti« tioners the enforcement of the resumption act would be exceed in Jy disastrous «.o the business of the untry...

The Croniata is confident that the Government will not accept the resignation of Senor Palio, the financial commissioner to Cuba. The same journal reports that the wife of Gen. Christany, the noted Carlist leader, has informed tho Spanish ambassador at Paris, that her husband will declare allegiance to King Alfonso if he is allowed to return to his military rank. The Madrid Government has not yet decided what answer to make.

Yienna, Jan. 8.—The Fremdenblatfc announces that it is enabled to state positively that the dispatch reporting that the Austrian Government had ordered all men here liable to military service to hold themselves in readiness to join their respective corps on fortyeight hours' notico, is totally without foundation. The reserves have neither been called out, nor have any preparations been made for so doing.

Madrid, January, 8.—The Government has given permission to several Generals in exile to return. A heavy falU'ol snow in Guipuzcoa impedes all military operations in that province.

This, however, will probably be done as soon as an understanding can be arrived at between the signatories of tho treaty of Paris. If France and England have not yet officially made known their views in tho matter the delay seems solely to have arisen through the temporary absence from London of Lord Derby,British Foreign Minister.

The concentration of naval vessels at Port Ropal is in pursuance of a general plan of the seretary of the navy to make the place the headquarters o'f tho north Atlantic, as this station presents many advantages over any other place on the Atlantic coast. The climate is beautiful and the harbor offers every facility for the excercise of naval tactics. Vessels there can reach Cuban waters and the gulf where our interests most need to be looked after, within forty-eight hours. It is the policy of the secretary of the navy to have a squadron larger than auy abroad. He believes in being prepared for any emergency which may arise.

Representatives Foot, of Illinois, and Casson of Indiana, were serenaded to-night by their Republican friends, including the Union soldiers at Willard's hotel, the former having offered a resolution in the House of Representatives instructing the elective officers to give subordinate places to well qualified soldiers in preference to soldiers of the late Confederate army. The latter offered a resolution declaring that all other things being equal the soldier should have preference over the civilian in the emoluments of public offices, &e. Each made an address in favor of the preambles announced in their resolutions, and both were frequently applauded.

There were fourteen candidates for the privelege of keeping the House restaurant, and the Committee on Public Buildirga' and Grounds, had forty-five ballots to-day before making an election. F. Freund, of this city, was chosen.

The indictments reported by telegraph, ns having been found against me in Chicago since I left home last week to atteud the Supreme Court here, are confessedly blackmailing operations, gotten np by a Boston creditor Mr. Reid, a son-in-law of mine, to compel Mr. Reids friends to pay a debt, which, through unforseen calamities, he is unable to pay. The charges against me are utterly false and malicious and cannot be maintained in any honest form anywhere, much less in Chicago, where I have resided for over forty years, and am well known so far from using the funds of the Mechanic's National Bank for my own purposes." Ibecame personally responsible in 1873 to, save the credit of that bank, to its New York correspondent for over §150,000. I do not remember the exact figures. [Signed] J. C. SCAMMAN

THE WEEKLY SUN.

NEW YORK.

1876.

Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is the Centennial year. It is al-o th.e year in which an Opposition House of Representatives, the first since the war, will be in |!ower at Washington, and the year of the twenty-third election of a President of the TTriited States. Ail of ihese events are sure to be of great interest and importance, especially tbe two latter and all of them and everything connected with them will be'fuPy and freshly reported and expounded in TubSun.

The Opposition House of Representatives, taking up the line of inquiry opened ... years ago by

HE SUN,

will sternly and

diligently invest'.pate the corruptions an 1 misdeeds of Grant's administration, and will, it is to be hoped, lay the foundation lor anew and better period in our national history. Of all this THIS SCN will con-.''* tain complete and accurate accounts, furnishing its readers with early and trustworthy information upon these absorbing topics.

The twenty-third Presidential election, witb the preparations for it, will be memorable as deciding upon Giant's aspiratlons for a third term of power and plunder, and still in ore as deciding who .shali be the candidate of the party of Rerorm, and as electing that cand'date. Concerning all'these sufjects, those who read Til's SUN will have tue constant means of being thoroughly well Informed.

The Weekly SUN,which has attained a circulation of over eighty thousand copies/ anfeady has its readers In every State and Territory, and we trust that that the year 187S will see their numbers doubled. It will continue to be a thorough newsoaper. All the general news of the day win be found in it, condensed when unimportant, at lull length when of moment, and always, we trust, treated in a clear, interesting and Instructive manner.

It is our aim to make the Weekly SUN the best family newspaper In tne woild and we shall continue to give in lis columns a large amount of miscellaneous reading, such as stories, talcs, poems,sclentitle intelligence'and agricultural inlormation, for which we are not able to make room in our daily edition The agrlcultur-' al department especiiUlKMs one of itn prominent features. Tttirfashlons are also regularly reported in lts columns, and so are the markets ot every, kind.

The WEEKLY SUN, eight pages, with fif-ty-six broad colums, is only 81.20 a year, postage prepaid. As this prioe barely tv pays the cost of the paper, no discount can be made from this raie to clubs-, postmasters, agents or anyone.
