GAZETTE, Terre Haute, Ind.

Tuesday Eveningj Jan. 18, 1876.

THE way to fool the grasping grinding capitalists is to MAKE AND KEEP your money, and be your own capitalist. The law of interest may as well be your servant as your master.

/THE GAZETTE assets, without fear of contradiction, that tbe so-styled poor people of Terre Haute, have more money owed them, that! they owe. Iu other words, they are the creditors of this community.

UNCLE SAMUEL through his Lieu tenant, Secretary Bristow, is waging war oil the tamperers with crooked whiskey in Chicago, Milwaukee. San Francisco and Indianapolis. It may be further added that he i3 coming out first best

REV. T. DEWITTTALMADGE ought not to give Terre Haute tbe go by in his lecturing tour. It has been five long, weary months since Barnum was here with his hippodrome, and our people are "honing" for something exciting.

THE man who works for his living and creates values by his skill and industry should strive with. all his might to have the country return to a money which has the same value when he goes to market as when he gets his wages on Saturday night.

A DEPRECIATING paper currency, is a perpetual reduction of the wages of labor. An appreciating currency, is a constant increase of the wages of labor. To increase the volume of paper money, is to reduce its quality, and by so much to rob laborers of their wages. To decrease the volume of currency, is to better its quality, that is to increase its purchasing power, and by so much to help labor.

THE community, we feel sure, will join with the GAZETTE in jubilation over the final exorcism of .that ugly ghost of a rumor concerning the illegality of our present Grand Jury. It would have been an unmitigated bore, to have had to try overagain the interesting batch of criminals who represent Vigo county in the penetentiary at Jeffersonville, antf all too, on a mere matter of technicality in 110 way affecting the question ol their guilt or innocence. That the bugarbOo has been disposed of so quickly and so effectually, is to the credit of our Criminal Judge, who spares no pains to keep his c:urt en rapport with the decisions of the Supreme Court.

Paper Prosperity. 1

A poor man could not speculate, saw he never so good a chance. It takes money to speculate. Plenty of irredeemable greenbacks breeds speculation and fattens the pockets of the rich. Money! made in speculation comes from, some person or persons* It comes from the pockets of the poor. There never was an era of paper money prosperity from which when a country emerged,—and a solid basis must' be reached sometime, for it is impossible to be balooning always—the poor were not poorer and the rich richer. Look at the colossal fortunes made during the' flush times of the war by the few. Look at the poverty of the many. It was a false and misunderstood prosperity which brought this condition. A return to our senses has only, shown us where we were drifting and in what a dangerous slough we were. Sobriety shows a person that he is in the gutter it was the inflation of intoxication which took him there. Drunk,' he did not discover his condition, sober he did*. Collectively as a nation and separately as individuals, we are in a bad way financially. The way out is not pleasant. Since the world was made, the way up to solid ground wa3 trying and toilsome. The way down hill always, was and always will be easy the way up teadious and difficult. Idle repinlngs effect nothing. The way up can be accomplished only by work. If you got down by spending more than you made, you can get up by making morei than

wyou

spend, This will apply W as well to nations as to individuals^ It means privation, it means it means retrenchment, i^-..3i|»e»&s many things, unpleasant, and feiw things pleasant, after the ordinary interpretation of that. word. It is not as nice, or as agreeable, as the patent plans, but it will work, for it has been tried. It is marvellous how mucn a man can do if he tries, and no less marvellous is the

JUttie where

with he can get along, if he keepa an eternal check upon* his wasteful Inclinations.

Democracy In New Hampshire. On Wednesday of last week, the Democracy of New Hampshire met in [convention to nominate a State ticket. In addition to the nominao tionofa ticket, as Is customary with them, they adopted a pfatform of principles which embraces their convictions on all questions of national politics now before the people. By a serious omission, ths telegraph failed to give a full report of the platform apdoted. So fairly, and fearlessly, have the Democrats of New Hampshire enunciated the cardinal doctrines of their political faith, and in such plain sound and unmistakeable language, that we can not refrain from reproducing them enti/e. TMs thf?j old Democratic platform with the ono plague spot of dalliance with African slavery removed. That much the war did for Democracy, and with thaj one wrong doctrine wiped from its record, its return now to the old landmarks and a!dvocacy of the old doc" trines. which won deserved victories on many a well contested field in the elder days, is a happy augery of auspicious events. New Hampshire Democrats have echoed the opinions cf their fellows, in Illinois and New York, and, in fact, of all the States, save only ohio and Pennsylvania, in the last election. It is unnecessary to say that the New Hampshire Democrats hold to the same faith as the GAZETTE. It is a faith the Na-r tional Democratic party will adopt. Here is the platform:

Resolved. The Democracy of New Hampshire recognize the final settlement of the issues involved in tbe late civil war and the binding force of the constitutional amendmonts. They demand for all citizens their lull constitutional rights cessation of Federal interference in local affair? the devotion of the Government to the work ofcommerce, giving employment to labor and capital, and fostering the interchange of the products of the country to the end that the domestic peace and public prosperity exhibited throughout an united and happy nation, may. prove thQ success of tbe experiment of self-Government, and ensure the perpetuity of the American republic, and in a contest on this basis we claim the co-operation of all who desire strictly' constitutional Government and honest and economical admioistration.

Resolved. That the people of every State have the sole right of covering themselves as free, sovereign and independent States, and ought, to exercise and enjoy every power, jurisdiction and right pertaining thereto which has not been by them expressly delegated to the United States of America in Congress assembled.!

Resolved, That the Democratic party has been always, as it is now, the advocate of a sound currency, stable in amount, fixed in value and convertible into coin at the will of the holder.

Resolved, That the present unstable, inflated and fluctuating currency is the work of the Republican party, whose financial theory has always tended in that direction, and has largely contributed to'the deplorable evils which now afflict the country.

Resolved, That we believe as the Democratic National Convention of 1872 declared, that "A speedy return to specie payments is demanded alike by the highest considerations of commercial morality and honest government." That such'legislation and administrative policy should be adopted as will steadily tend to this result with the least possible derangement of tbe business of the country, and with due regard to the interests of all classes and sections. That the most safe, sure, direct and speedy way to this end lies through severe "retrenchment, strict economy, careful husbanding of resources to legitimate purposes of the Government in other words, through administrative reform and honest government.

Resolved, That the present condition of the country, the paralysis which rests upon business and enterprise, the disgraceful state of tbe cur rency, the enormous and unequal burden of taxation and the frightful exhibition of Waste, profligacy, peculation ann fraud which characterize all branches of the public service all at.test alike tbe unfitness of the Republican party to manage the affairs of the country and the necessity of an- immediate change and tbe most thorough and searching reform in the National Administration.

Resolved, that the Democracy of New Hampshire, by their representatives here in convention assembled, pledge to the people their earnest efforts in favor of a sound curroncy, reform of all abuses in the State and National. Administrations, retrenchment and economy in public expenditures and equal an just taxation, to the end that labor may be as lightly burdoned as possible, the administration of public affairs be made efficient and the public indebtness be reduced, industry and enterprise be relieved of the inoumbus now paralyzing them, and the old time prosperity of the country be restored.

Resolved, That our inestimable system of common schools and our no less valuable scheme of religious toleration are the workmanship of Democratic hands and the -fruits of Democratic policy., That it|is the education of its children. That it is the inalienable right of every citizen to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and no political disabilities should be incurred by reason of religous belief, and while we will defend these principles and institutions to the fullest extent we »deprecate all attempts to raise sectarian issues in po litics as utterly uncalled for, as reprehensible and as meriting the emphatic condemnation of every gocd

citiz3n.

Resolved, That wC favor a tariff for revenue only that we are unalterably opposed to favoritism in legislation, and to all subsidies toindividuals, classes corporations or monopolies.

Resolved, That while the illustrious example of the spirit of our institutions is alike opposed to the Presidential third term, the present Chief-Execu-tive, by-using the great trusts incident to his office for personal end family aggrandisement, by inflaming secretarian atfimosity, and by interfering with the course of pnblicjustlce toward defrauders of the revenue and their abbettors,. demonstrates tbe wisdom ol the Fathers, and enforces belief that, a third term would be dangerous to the liberties of the citizen and the prcspeiity cf he nation.

Call for tlie Republican Convention. With the meeting of the National Republican Committee at Washington last week, the readers of the GAZAETTE have already been apprised. In the telegraphic report of the proceedings was given the place where the convention was to be held, and the time. The call has since been issued, and we give it herewith. It is ajboastful, not to say vain-glorious, document. It reads:

Thejnext Union Republican National Convention for the nomination of candidates for President and Vice President of the United States will therelore be held in tho city of Cincinnati, on Wednesday, the 14th day of June 1876, at twelve o'clock, noon, and will consist of delegates from each State equal to twice the number of Senators and Representatives iu Congress, and of two delegates from each organized Territory and the District of Columbia. In calling the conventions for the election of Delegates, the committees of the several States are recommended to invite all Republican electors aud all other voters without regard to past political difficulties or previaus party affilations who are opposed to reviving sectional issues and desire to promote friendly feeling and permanent ha.rmony throughout the country by maintaining anr! enforcing all the constitutional right uf vory citizen, including the full and fro a exercise of the rights of suffrage without .intimidation and without fraud who are in favor of the continued prosecution and punishment of all official dishonesty and of an economical administration of the Government by honest, faith fill and capable officers who are in favor ol'making such reforms in Government as experience may from time to time suggest, who are opposed to impairing the credit of the nation by depreciating any of its obligations, and in favor of sustaining in every way the national faith and financial honor, who hold that tho common school system is tho nursery of American liberty, and should be maintained entirely free from sectarian control, who believe that for tbe promotion of these ends tlie direction of the Government should continue to be confined to those who adhere to the principles of 1770 and support thi as incorporated in the Constitution and the laws, and who are in favor of recognizing and strenethening the fusdamental principles of national unity in this Centennial anniversary of the birth of the Republic.

E. D. MORGAN,

Chairman RepublicanNat'l Committee WM, E. CHANDLER, Sec'y.

THE Republican papers of the northern part of the state have quite generally hit upon the name of Jesse L. Williams of Fort Wayne as a Republican candidate for Governor. He is a gentleman of large experience in affairs, a citizen of the state from the earliest days, has been connected with many of the public enterprises of the State, is intimately acquainted with its history, civil and poll teal, and in a long and active business life has carried everything he ever undertook, through to a sue* cessful conclusion. He is, moreover, a gentleman of incorruptible integrity, and would bring to the duties of tbe office, should he be elected, clean bands, and an honorable record. Tbe Republicans might travel far, and fare worse, in tbe choice of a candidate for Governor, than they would in tbe selection of Mr. Williams.

OUR Democratic House of Represeniatives has decided to settle the question of a President working for bis re-election. At a recent meeting the Judiciary Committee of the House -agreed to report the following amendment to the Constitution:

Art. 10. From and after the next election for a President, of the United States, the President shall hold his office during.the term of Bix years, and, together with theVice-Presidentchosen for the same.term, be elected* in the manner now provided, or may hereafter be provided but neither the President nor the

Vice-President,when

Seliberations

the office

of President has devolved upon him, shall be eligible for. re-election as President.

Grain,

London, Jan. 17.—The Mark Lane Express' review of the grain trade says winter returned last week with greatly increased fury, but that the cbonge from mild and damp weather has been servicable to newly threshed samples which had scarcely found buversjon ac count of their miserable condition, and to this we attribute the immediate decline in averages) rather than to any active reduction but we can hardly rely upon the full recovery in condition until March sets in. So wp bave six weeks before we can' expect much benefit, though the and has been getting somewhat drained *f superfluous moisture in the preparation for spring planting. We note by the weekly sales that no^ we have exactly reached the average of last year when the crop was_ a good one. Unless the imports#Continueto be overdone, which,with northern ports closed and New York quotations fully, five shillings per quarter dearer, seems qnite improbable,there must eventually be a,recovery in prices as our wants beepme conspicious. More firmness is evinced at Paris and in some of the'provincial markets al$e in Belgium, but Dutch and German markets have'ruled dull. The roads and canals being obstructed by ice arid snow, the latter seems to have been more plentiful in other parts of Europe than England.

Temperance.

New York, Jan. 17—The National Temperance Society baa issued a call for an Inter-National Temperance Conlerrence in Philadelphia, June 13th, as A fitting occasion to the consideration of the relations of temperenee reform in its scientific economy, intellectual, social, moral and religious aspects to individual and national life its pro-

Washington, Jan. 37.—'The Supreme Court decision of the Scammon vs. Kimball case, assignee, appealed from the Circuit Court fer the district of IIinois in this case it is found that any monies deposited by the Mutual insurance company of Chicago, with the complaint of Scammon, and which ho' still owes to the company or to the assignee, was and is held by him as a private banker, and not as Treasurer of the company, and it isiheld that ahy losses sustained by the complainants, by the great fire at Chicago, for which the bankrupt corporation were and are liable as insurers,may be setoff against that: the claims.of the bankrupt corporation are reversed.

Washington Jan. 17.—Wilson vs.the State of Missouri, tue court decided that the Sta-je cannot compel a peddler to pay license for selling articles prodnced in other States on the ground that it is a tax upon the goods themselves, a discrimination against the other States, and is in conflict with that clause of the Federal constitution which decides that Congress shall have the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among*the several States.

Wnshington, Jan. 17.—Secretary Fish was to-day before the House Com mittee on foreign affairs, by invitation, and in general terms informed the committee to present the condition of the Cuba question. H6 did hot especially state the terms of tbe circular recently addressed to tbe foreign nations oil this subject, but intended it to merely ask their moral support in the event of' mediation or intervention by the United States. Alluding to tho recent Madrid telegram giving an outline to Spain's reply to the American circular, he said he did not regard its tone as unfriendly. As to the negotations now in progress,. they were conducted in a concilatory spirit on both sides, ,and certainly without threats on the part of the United States, and he hoped that negotiations would terminate satisfactorily. He was perfectly willing that, the correspondence should be laid before the House, and this would be" done before that body call for it. Subsequently a resolution was passed calling for the correspondence, which will soon be communicated by,. the President to the House. 9 3, ?hat Advisory Council.

PARJS, Jan. 13, 187TS.

The following is the text of the proclamation published to-day: Frenchmeu—For the flrst time in five years you are called upon to participate in a general election. Five years ago you desired order and peace, and at the price of the most cruel sacrifices and after tho greatest trials you obtained them.

You still desire order and pcaJfe. The Senators and Deputies you are about to elect must co-operate with the President of the Republic to maintain them. We must appty, with common accord and sincerity, the constitutional laws, the revision whereof I alone, until 1880, have the right to propose.

After so much agitation, discord and misfortune, repc8e is necessary for the country, aud I think her institutions ought not to be revised before they are houestly tred. But to try them as the ealvatiou of Frauce reduires it is indispensable that the conservative and truly liberal policy, which I always intended to pursue, should prevail.

To uphold it I appeal for union among those who place the defence of social order, respect for law and patriotic devotiou above their recollection?, aspirations, or party engagements. I invite them to rally around my government. It is necessary that the sacred rights, which survive all governmental changes, and the legitimate interests which every, ad--, ministration is bound to protect, should enpy a fall security under a strong and-respected government.

It is IH cessary not ouly to disarm those who might disturb the security now, but to discourage those who tbreeteu its future by tbe propagation of auti-social and revolutionajy doctrines.

France knows that I

neither

sought nor desired the power I am invested with, but she may rely upon my exercising it without weakness.

In order to fulfiil to the end tbe mission entrusted to me, I hope God will aid me, and that the support of the nation will not fail me.

CENTENNIAL 8HOOHSTS.

Xcgatiatlon for the Tisttofn Rifle Team From Knglwnd, Ireland and Scotland,

New York, Jan. 17.—Sir Henry Halford, a noted English rifle man, has been for sometime past earnestly en gaged in organizing an English team of twelve, the team to be one of the many European ones expected to com pete in the United States during the Centennial, against an American team of equal numbers that an Irish team would appear on tlie scene, had been practically settled. A Scotch one was expected, while there are good reasons to believe that rifle teams will be here from France, Belgium, Germany and probably Italy. A cable dispatch received to-day, however, by Judge Gildersleeveo from Sir Henry Halford, puts the matter in anew light in so far as England, Ireland and Scotland are concerned. The desire ot the Directors of the English Rifle Association being to make up its team of twelve from among the riflemen of the English, Irish, and Scotch associations.

The following is the the text of the dispatch received by Judge Gildersleeve, from Sir Henry Halford.

London, Jan. 17.—The. Director's resolutions alter the conditions understood by us—namely, Great Britain and Ireland vs. America. Tho counsel meet on Friday I am sure they will not sustain tho new terms.

America's reply: New York, Jan. 17—To Sir Henry Halford—Any.teanr you organize will be acceptable English, Scotch, Irish or mixed. [Signed] GILDERSLERVE.
