BEN HILL may as well hang his harp, if he ever bad one, on a willow tree.

A GOOD receipt for getting rich is to contract expenses and inflate the hours of Jabor.

WHEN we get to specie payments, we shall womler hov/ we ever came to leave them.

BLAINES shirt is bloodier than Mortons and about as "dirty. He waves it like a matadore.

THE 19th regiment of Indiana Volunteers, are to have a reunion at Muncie on Wednesday,' of this week.

IF any one class is more benefitted than another by a sound financial system, it is those who labor with fheir hands.

THE State Grange of Indiana, has declared itself in favor of unlimited irredeemable greenbacks, with inter) convertible bonds, Of all persons on the earth, the farmer should be in faVor of hard money.

THE fluctuations in prices incident to an irredeemable paper money system are the source of strides, panics, speculations and that long train of events which makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.

BLAINE and Morton or Morton and Blaine, is a ticket of about the right color for the Eepublinans. A strong resolution against the scarlet women would make the ticket of an unrelieved red complextion. ,,,,

IT ha3 been discovered that coal oil or fluid lamps will furnish as much light as $4 gas, at about one fourth the expense. People who are complaining of hard times and contraction can inflate their net income by contracting their bills for illumination and "souring" so to speak, on gas.

A PERSON who does not take a home paper, but depends for his supply of news matter, upon, foreign publications, is worse than the individual whom Shakespeare describes as having no music in his soul. The papers of a city are an accurate image of the place itself. They are gpod or bad, as. the city is entexprising or sluggish.

IF one thing grieves the GAZETTE more than another it is to see a mechanic with a knowledge of a trade, and a willingness to work, advocating anew fangled, patent system of finances. A poor man can't afford to risk his all, in a patent paper money system any more than he can in a lottery ticket.- Possibly it might inure to his advantage its failure means his ruin.

IRREDEEMABLE paper money produces fluctuations in prices. Flue tuation in prices makes opportunities for speculations. Successful speculations mean the making money without labor. On the one hand, money made without labor in duccs extravagence and wastefulness. On the other band it shows that somebody has lost money.. To speculate successfully takes money The rich have money. The poor have none. Therefore, by specula tion, the rich are made richer. The poor have no money. They are the prey of the rich in speculation. It is therefore no idle phrase to say that irredeemable paper money makes the rich richer and the poor poorer,

THE practice Terre Haute people have of going away to make purchases, can not be too much de precated. No 'city was ever yet built up when its people were addict ed to such a suicidal pratice. Our merchants have in tha main, as large stocks, and sell at as low prices, ae those any where. If they do not, they never will get to having them if our own people do not

particle

encourage

them by giving them their orders and having them fill them. Every body in Terre Haute is.interested in the prosperity of our home mer« chants. Their success, is the.snccess of everybody. It is no excuse for anybody, that some other person goes away from home to make purchases. About all anybody can h^pe'J5^ to do in this world is to keep him or herself straight. If everybody would attend to him or herself, the whole community would take care of itself adrnirlabj. It shouia be counted to a persons shame not credit, that they go away from home to get, what if they had a

The Amnesty Debate.

An occasional correspondent of the GAZETTE, writing from Washington, gives a very interesting picture of the debate in Congress on the Amnesty question. Sandwiched with the discription, is an estimate of the ability of the speakers, and an expression of opinion concerning themerits of the principles enunciated. The opinion of our correspondent, upon the performance of Hill, of Georgia, is so entirely at variance with that of the management of the GAZETTE, that we cannot permit its publication without expressing our decided dissent. So far from agreeing with our correspondent, that Mr. Hill made a speech that "will ever stand as a monument of greatuesa," it is our beilef that the speech was the very worst in con* ception, the meanest and most con temptible, that has been uttered in Congress within ten years, not even excepting the diatribes of Ben. Butler. Mr. Hill's record is as villainous as his speech. A few more speeches of that kind would furnish ample warrant for Morton and Blaine to keep their ensanguined linen flying in the breeze all the time.

We confess that following our hopes, we had believed the South was thoroughly whipped and riper for reconstruction, in fact, already reconstructed and ready for reconciliation. If, however, Ben Hill is a fair specimen of the old time rebel, and to get along peaceably with them we have got to apologize for whipping them, and lie in making out ourselves, inhuman monsters in the treatment of "their oldiers, our prisoners, or lie again in declaring that they were humane in the treatment of our soldiers, their prisoners, and did the fair thing at Fort Pillow and scores of other places, why rather than do that we should prefer Grant for a third term and go iu raptures over Morton's and Blaine's rhetoric* The most that the mass of us in the north can do about the rebellion is to keep our iips sealed, we cannot forget, and the silence that we keep is an act of Christian forbearance and done for peace. If a few fellowsllike Morton and Blaine and Butler rake up bitter memories, it is enough for the South to know that the mass of the people in the north do not sympathise with them in such utternces. But a defence of the South. and a justification of the rebellion and attacks upon the North cannot be tolorated, and will not be.

Field Marshall Httlstead. 1 The Washington correspondent of the. Cincinnati Gazette has unearthed the following letter from among the private letters of the late General Halleck. It was endorsed as follows:

CINCIKNATI, OHIO, April 3, ISO'.

HALSTEAD,M„

Suggests the way this -war should be carried on.

Rec'd Headquarters. April 10th. The contents of the letter were as follows: CINCINNATI, April 3,1863, Major-General Halleck:

A private soldier once ventured to make a suggestion to Napoleon ou the battle-field, and it is not related that he was rebuked. On the contrary, the Emporor told the soldier that he had suggested the very movement he was about to make.

The incident may not be authentic, I am so deeply impressed with certain facts that I cannot refrain from laying them with great respect, but with great earnestness before you.

The result of the campaign in the Mississippi Valley this summer depends upon the concentration of troops. That concentration must take place before the fall of the rivers or it will be impracticable and the summer will bow&stodi

What are the facts of our Western' militaiy situation^ General Grant's Mississippi operations are simply failures, and nothing can be donain that quarter. This is beyond argument. It is history. The great invasion of Kentucky is played out. General Barnside has next to nothing to do in Kentucky. General Rosecrans is at the point of danger, and the point from which the enemy can be struck is a vital place.

Grant's army has at hand steam boats for transportation. It is importiant that his army shonld be taken from him^ and sent up the Cumberland to- General RoseCrans. Leave the Mississippi to our guri-boats and a few garrisons, and extricate ourarmy from the swamps where disease will waste them, and they can never reach the enemy.

It is perfectly practicable now to concentrate

WASHINGTON.

THE SPECTRE OP INVESTIGATION WALKING IN THE CAPITAL.

Sketch of the Anmesty I)( lute.

And the Prominent Actors in It.

From i»'.i Ofcndionnl Corrcsptfatlcqt of tbe Aniirltc.

To tlie Editors of the Evening Uazatte: •Since the pen is mightier than the sword, and tho use ol it has become so decidedly au fait, I have deemed it not out of place to present a few Washington items, i'or an airing in your columns. with tha hope that they may not prove uninteresting to some of your readers.

Congress ro-assembled on the 5th, after the holiday vacation of two weeks. Almost all tho members were in their seats looking eztremely well after so arduous a duty performed as the celebration of our one huudu birth-day. It was, of course, the bounden duty of every patriotic citizen to celebrate so glorious an epoch in the world's history with a copious overflow of the "spirit."

The key note of the present Congress has been issued, and as it goes thundering over the country it speaks but one language—the language of investi. gation. One can noi move in Washington this winter without being confronted by tae stern-visaged.

SPECTER OF INVESTIGATION.

It leap3 forth from the countenance of every Democratic member of Congress you meet-, and struggles to hide itsel^ behind the confident mien of those in the minority. It is an ill-assumed confidence and it can be easily discerned that the one word, investigation, has to them as terrible a significance as did tbe hand writing on the wall to Belshazzar. Its honest form can be discovered in the winding and intricate corridors of the Capitol, and it occupies a pew every Sunday in the fashionable tabernacles of the living God.

The Democrats have commenced their lease of power by laying down a course of procedure which can not fail to elicit the warm and hearty commendation of all who desire an honest administration of the Government. They propose to hunt from their lairs parties who have for many years past been lining their*pantaloons with gold, at the expense of the honest, tax-pay-ing citizen.

No political organization ever shaped the legislation of a country for an extended term of years uninterruptedly, without having engendered in its ranks the vilest and most unwarrantable breaches of the public trust. It is tbe nature of man to grasp at power having obtained it,to make it absolute having disposed of a formidable opposition, to make it subserve his own base and selfish designs. It is a singular lact that the instances predominate wherein the good in a man's nature is completely overshadowed by the bad after an accession to absolute power. The history oi alljthe races of mankind will testify to this assertion.

There will be a great nambor of contested election cases before the House this winter. Tho contestants are evidently of the opinion that there is no use of whipping a man unless' a thorough job.is made of it, and consequently are determined, now that tbe Democrats have the Republicans so utterly under control in the Hduse, to make them feel their minority.

The topic which most'engrosses the public mind here is the CENTENNIAL PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST.

In the Democrrtic ranks Hendricks is the strong man. Tbe impression is very universal that he will be nominated and that election will almost inevitably succeed his nomination. Virginia, the mother of Presidents has adopted him, and he is developing great strength elsewhere throughout the south. There is a rumor afloat that Bayord's friends are conceeding the nomination to Hendricks and are negotiating for the second place on the ticket. It is almost certain that Grant will be a candidate for a third term and it is'diificult to conjecture the issue of his dictorial aspirations. Were I a republican, ex-Speaker Blaine would be my first choice. He is a man of unquestionable ability, and of the most irreproachable honesty and integrity. It is his misfortune, however to be aboard the sinking ship. It is slowly but surely going down and before another year taKes its place on the calender of time, will have been overwhelmed in the verdict of an outraged country. It is to be deplored that his brilliant attainments cannot do service in tho cause of the true faith. Morton is not as much talked of as might be expected. His chances look somewhat chimerical. There has been

!-"$L

Rosecrans, within a

fortnight, a force that .would perfectly overwhelm the enemy in his front. And such a blow as might be delivered now by the sudden concentration of the Western troops—the abandonment ot the Mississippi Valley and the Kentucky garaison system—would overthrow the tottering fabric of the Confederacy.

SOME MENTION OP KERR

as a probable candidate, but I am authoratively informed that he will hot ailow his name to go before thq convention. He will •, be wise if •he does not. It#** looks very much as though he may never have an opportunity to exercise his discretion. His^ health is in so wretched a state that it is a grave question whether he will live to see another President inauguaated. He weighs now only an hundred and thirty pounds.

He makes an indifferent speaker, on account of an exceedingly poor voice otherwise, he promises to invest the position with dignity and honor. His committeies have been criticized with great severity in many quarters, but considering that he had an almost entirely gi*een Congress to select from, he has discharged this important and arduous duty as well as could have been expected. A large proportion of the members of the present House are serving their first term, and consequently have their records before them.

On the 10th instant the House enter-, c-d upon the consideration ol 'TIIE GENERAL AMNESTY BILL, introduced by Mr\R'-?ndall. At an o-ir-ly- hour every available space in the galleries was occupied, and the surging crowd extended, some distance back, through tbe gallery doors into the corridors. The lobby, and cloak rooms were replete with eager listeners, and, standing room

was

at a premium.

day or twe since Mr. Blaine endeavored to have tacked onto the original bill granting general amrftsty an amendment excepting Jeff Davis, and prescribing an iron-chid oath. Mr. Randall.at once refused to allow a vote ori th© amendment. -The excitement'was at fever heat during the call of (he ayes and noes on, the passage of the bill as originally lntroduced by Mr. Randall. The vote re

i. s.a __ j,»_

sulted yeas 172, nays 67, by which vote the bill was lost, a two-thirds vote being requisite for its passage. Mr. Blaine moved to reconsider the vote by virtue of which motion he gained the floor. For one honr he" made a masterly effort. He was grievously hampered by the fallacious premises from which he argued, and could not evince that wonderful power which makes hiin so dread an opponent. For one hour he flaunted the "oloody shirt" and fairly crowded the air\ with anathemas against the South, all 'the while protesting that ho had loug eincs boaten his sword into a plow-shear, and that he had no desire to disturb the ashes of the past and reinstate the animosities and bitter memories which lie dormant beneath them. The Presidential bee buzzing in his bonnet, baa carried him out of the reach of his own judgment, and caused him to lose ground where he had hoped to create campaign capital. He has heretofore occupied an'exalted place with the liberal minded of his Paity,and his action on this bill has surprised not a few. When

SUN-SET COX

arose to answer him, a look of satisfaction settled itself on tbe face .of every Democratic member. Everybody anticipated what was in store. They who had tbe good fortune to hear him,characterize the speech, as among the most celebrated efforts of his life, and it is the general concession that Blaine was decidedly worsted in the encounter: At times Cox would occasion tbe wildest merriment, while at others the dignified and attentive silence indicated bow surely his speech was going home. He was frequently checked by applause and Jaughter. Mr. Blaine was.constantly interrupting him, and as often was be made the target for his unfailing witticisms. One of his interruptions was met in the following manner: Mr. Cox said,-"If the gentleman from. .Maine would not interrupt me quite so much he would fare a good deal better. He is line the. little boy down in Memphis, who undertook to take a twist at a mule's tail, and his father said to him, 'Yon do not look so well, but you have learned something.' Mr. Blaine immediately inquired, "Does tbe gentleman from New York rapresent the mule in that transaction?" Cox did not bear him in the laughter which Lis sally provoked, and consequeutly the country was defrauded of another pungent retort.

One after another Mr. Cox stripped tbe arguments of the distinguished exSpeaker of their linguistic plumage, and made them, liko tho boomerang, retnrn to wound and destroy their projector. A man must be clad in complete steel when ho enters the lists with Cox, else he will be certain to reretire demoralized and undone. That which renders Mr. Cox so formidable a'n opponent is tbe astonishing rapidity with.which he meets every issue which arises in debate. He has never been known to be caught with his guard down, and is incessan. ly on tbe alert to discover tbe salient" points in the enemy. Ho is a very diminutive specimen ot the genus homo, is about five feet, six or seven, and will weigh about one hundred and twenty-five pounds. One does not appreciate that he is man of such unusual brilliancy and and richness of intellect until he is on his feet convulsing every one with his inexhaustible fund of humor As a re fined humorist ho stands without peer, and as a scholar and a statesman he has no superior.

There are no abler men than Mr James G. Blaine, and his defeat on the 10th was attributable as much to to his espousal of a flimsy doctrine as to the rare ability of Mr. Cox.

On the llth instant the House was electrified by a burst of eloquence from the

HCS. BEN HILL, OF GEORGIA,, which has secured him a permanent position among tbe intellectual giants of the Forty-Fourth Congress. For masterly.and elaborate logic, prefound •reasoning, and scholarly and finished ornamentation,

tbi3

sketch will ever

stand as a monument of greatness. He .spoke for amnesty for. his entire people for bse palmy, days" of the Republic for a place under the old flag. Hi3 speech' throughout was marked by liberality and large-mindednes which will go'far toward lestablisiiin* order and harmony between the' two sections. While a complete and more comprehensive answer to Mr. Blaine could not have been made, he evinced none of the bitterness which formed a prominent feature in tho ex^Speaker's effort. r]

MR. BANKS, OF MASSACHUSETTS, made tho only speech in the discussion which covered the. points at issue. His was a p:ea for the resslation of "Peace on earth, and good will toward all men for the interment ot the rankling bitterness installed throughout the country, and a general resumption of the amicable relations existing before the war, His effort was in very marked contrast with the angry utterances of the opposition.

Garfield gave the "bloody shirt'' an additional wave on the 12tb. A speech abounding in more antagonism has seldom been heard anywhere.

Tbe vote on the final passage of the bill was taken on the .14tb,-and resulting: Yeas, 1S2 nays, 97, was lost, and Jetf Davis sinks out of public view, let lis hope, fwrever. Finis coronat opns

TERRE HAITTK.

The Clanuislmess

People.

From Harding's Herald.

.Not the least among the many, peculiarities of the beautiful little city of Terre Haute is its esprit du ville—not to put too fine a point on.it, the clannishness of its. people. In the matter of cohe3iveness they are strong. However much they may quarrel among themselves, on all issues with the outside world they are brethren in unity. When their Tall Sycomore Was an aspirant for Senatorial honors he had not only the Democrats but the Republicans of Terre Haute at bis back, and if Dick Thompsoa were a candidate he he would have Hanna and Havens, and Shannon to leg and log for him. It is sufficient for a Terre Haute man to know that anything comes from Terre Haute to enlist his sympathies. He will risk his ultimate dollar on -a Terre Haute race horse which hasn't a chance of winning, outside.of special providence, and then cheerfully walk home on au. empty stomach, satisfied that he has spent his money in a righteous cause—that of sustaining city pride. Our citizens will remember the Coolness which sprang up between Hon. Wm.

OF IX-

Wliil a Correspondent of the Fort Wayne Gazette Has to Say liecCommending Nomine?.

JESSE 1J. WILLIAMS.

Editor Merning Gazette: A few days ago the Gazette contained a paragraph mentioning the name of Hon. Jesse Xi. William3 in conueetion with the approaching gubernatorial canvass. The suggestion is a most excellent one, and I hope the Republiean papers of the State—more particularly those of the Northern part—will heartily echo the sentiment, and endeavor to secure his nomination. There is no better material in the State for Governor than Hon Jesse L. Williams. Aside from his ability and sound Republican principles he has many other qualities which strongly commend him for that position. He is an old resident of the State, and all the early public improvements and many of the more recent ones, bear tbe imprint of his genius and energy. Indiana owes much to his indomitable preseverance and partical theories, Probable there's not another man in tho State who has done more, disinterested service for the good of the State and- couutry than has Mr. Williams. To develop the resources of our great Saafe, to oben a field in which labor as well as capitol might find profitable investment to stimulate commerce and create now industries, has been his aim during life. How well he has suceedeb, tbe splendid farms, noble factories and palatial residences along he public thoroughfares bear testimoney.

Mr. Williams has filled many offices of trust and profit, the duties of each and every one of which have been discharged with the most rigid honesty: Not a breath of suspicion has ever been breathed against his integrity. Hi3 past record is sufficient evidence that if elected he would make a noble Governor—one of which any State In this Union might justly feel proud. His popularity, also, is another important point to be taken into consideration. Strongly Democratic as Allen county is, with Mr. Williams at tho head of the ticket, the Republicans would stand a very fair chance of carrying the cou?iiy at the next election, or at least greatly reduce tbe Democratic majori y.

With his view of the situation, I hope tiic Republican papers of the State will give Mr. Williams their hearty and undivided influence from now uatil the meeting of the nominating convention, for once nominas tad his election will be sure.

wards," Speaker of the last

House of Representatives, and Mr. Keenan, of the Sentinel. It all grew out of disparaging remarks made by Mr. Keenan about the wonderful Echo, discovered-by Mr Edwards in the.rear of the Terre Haute House. It is aleo known *-hat,socoe four years since,Bayless W. Hanna whipped a La Fayette lawyer nearly to death for intimating that the arteuan. water of tbe latter city smelled louder and tasted nastier than tbat of Terre Haute. Likewise an Indianapolis doctor ,.was mobbed and compelled to flee for bis life for expressing doubts as to^the efficiency of the Terre Haute inadstone in chronic easaa of hydrophobia. And Dr. Allen Pence will fight i" moment if any one dare to suggest that a better clas3 of spirits attend the Boston seances than can be raised at a moment's notice in Terre Haute.

and Children are considerately

advised to attend the Day Exhibition, and thus avoid thecrowd and confusion of the Evening Performance.
