THE Iridiauapolia Journal has been at pains fo define in a half column arlieJe the meaning of its pet word "Sap-sag." By the Journal it is U9ed as a co ntc-mptuous name for political opponents and it means a man who wears a clean shirt.
AN intimation be it ever eo feebly expressed that Morton is not greater than Washington, transforms the mild and placid Indiauapolis Journal, into a roaring lion. It favors Morton for President, first last and all the time, and thinks he ha9 the oqly man who can preserve our liberties or save the country.
Trevellick3 Blood Slaimd Gre-n-buck^. In another part of to-day's paper will be found a tolerably full report of the speech delivered at the Court House last night by R. T. Trevellick of Detroit, to the Greenback Club. His argument, if anything he said may be designated by that name, was diluted with bumeombe aud bravado until it resembled greenbacks, as, they "will be when be has made them plenty, at a sacrifice of their quality-
His strong argument for greenbacks is the same as that advanced by Senator Dick. Oglesby of Illinois, and pertains to the beautiful mataphor of their being dyed in the blood of patriots, and having carryed the country through the war. Now this, es a rhetorical flourish may be very pretty and delivered as it is,'.' by this representative laboring man, wilh that extreme unctiousness of .manner, for which be is notorious, it never fails to wake up the boys, But in sober se^se, the fact of greenbacks having been used during the war, and of their having been blood stained, is the veriest moonshine, aud nonsense, in an argument concerning their value as a circulating medium, and sensible men ought to resent the in' suit put upon them by advancing it asanargumeDt iu their hearing, That our war was much costlier—we speak now merely of money—than there was any real necessity of its being, is atmattertoo generally admitted by thinking men to admit of -argument now, with the stray orators of the eagle school- We came out of it with a burden of debt vastly greater than we ought to have had, or might have had. For that fact we are in a large measure indebted to the blood stained, etc., greenbacks.
Again, never in the history of the world was there a time when rich men grew richer and poor men grew poorer, when colossal fortunes were amassed by the few and hard fare became the lot of the many, as they did during the flush greenback times. This sounds like Trevellick, but the facts sustain us and we appeal to the record.
That they made the war success is not true. The South issued graybacks, which were a legal tender, and armed with every attribute of our greenbacks. If the money system of the North saved it, the money »y stem of the South ruined it. As a matter cf fact the war was fought with leaden bullets, not paper pellets. The South escaped the .con-' sequences of its false system of finances by the failure of the rebellion. To us, our greenbacks have given the legacy of a doubled debt, which, be* ing houorable men, we will pay as quickly as we car.. With or without Mr. Trevill ick's permission however, we shall not count that as our bleBSing which was our peculiar bane, or perpetuate in time of peace in a system which found its only justificat^ ion in the hurry and scare of war.
Mr. Trevellick found fault with the present times, and predicted disaster from the reduced consumption by the people. He is apparently impressed with the belief that the panacea for a man in straightened circumstances is to gorge himself with food, dress up finer than ever and -build a house, instead of cutting down his outgo. A statement of hia position on this point is euf&cient. ijut without further comment we refer the reader to the report of his speech, and ieave to them tbe not difficult task of refuting it.
S ii
"^oiiriroa, f£ia' there is one question moie than another, upon which there is need of light being thrown, that question is gas. Beperately, aBd collectively, as individuals, and ascitizens^ we have lain too long in the shadow of this falsely styled illuminant, until it bids fair to become a veritable valley of the shadow of financiai death. Perhaps that phrase is too strong.
However, the present 13 a time: for retrenchment and economy, and if gas is not as big as a bung liple, it is a miehty healthy snu well developed spiggot through which taking the year through, a very great doal of money manages to filter
and
waste.
A penny saved is a penny earned, and in the present time, when there is not only no prospect of the high -old flu3h times of the war coming back, but ought to be
110
hopes for
it, the attention of the people ought to bo turned towards economy. The GAZETTE has never seen prosperity in the path where people have to walk on stilts, but does see an abundant measure of comfort iu the time when people shall have reached the bed rock and ceased to use gas at $4 per 1,000 feet, when they can get just as much light for from one-filth to one-sixth of the money. It doesn't concern the GAZETTE what the gas company charges, that is its business, but it doea grieve the GAZETTE greatly to bear people howling for more money when the are throwing away from to S3 50 out of every $4 they spend on this simple matter of getting light, aud all the while they ap* pear to be groping *in the densest darkness notwithstanding their extravagant outlay for light.
Now in Ihis matter ofligbt, gas has the advantage in the start.. It is certainly cleaner and more conve8K#nt. It has another advantage in the fact that as compared with its present rivals in illuminating oiis it is much older. Gas is over an hundred years old and has apparently progressed in the methods of its making aud illuminating power, as a cows tail grows i. e., backwards aud downwards, Certainly the gas of to-day is no bet* ter, if as good as it was iu the memory of the oldest inhabitant. As to petroleum it is scarcely fifteen years old, though in that time its production has so rapidly increased th tt it now ranks third as au article of trade in the commerce of this country. This question of oil vs. gas has begun to attract attention iu other places than Terre Haute. All over the country, people have begun #o complain of prices, and find fault with the quality of the gas, and the price charged here is as high as the highest and very much higher than in most of the cities of the country. This question of the comparitive illumenating power of gas and oil has provoked not a little discussion. On that point aud answering the objection to oil that it is unsafe, we subjoin the following comments bj' the Chicago Po3t and Mail. It say?:
In 1873, each gas jet. used iu the city ofN^w York had an illuminating power of seventeen candles at the present time, the best has a power of but fourteen candles, which shows a veiy marked falling off in quality, while the price has materially increased. Petroleum, on the other hand, has been improved in tbe last fifteen years from a crude, imperfect illuminant, of a dangerous character, to the most powerful illuminant known, and fully as safe to use as either lard or sperm oil. The original kerosene burner gave only about a ten canal9 power light, but with the improved oils now made from petroleum, by the use argand or similar burners, thirtyof
of argand or a candle power eight has been obtained, A gas jet of fourteen candle power costs 15 cents, for the same time that a kerosene light of hirt.v-eight candle power, coats VA cents. It is not necessary to be very lar advanced iu arithmetic to deduce from the above illustrations, the fact that kerosene will give three times tbe light at one-third the cost of gas. No^ that the question of economy is settled, the next in order
13
safety. Gas has
been known to lean and kill people by aspnbyxia buildings have been destroyed by the ignition of escaping gas. In Boston, a short time since, the explosion of a gas main killed several persons.
With the best grade of illuminating oil as now manniactured, there never has been one accident whicn cost a human life, cr destroyed a dollar's worth of property. It is simply impossible, by accident, to have a disaster fromthe use of such oils. The underwriters, in all cases where they have investigated the advance made in the manufacture ofitluminating oils from petroleum, have agreed to rate the high grades iu tbe same class with ga*.
It needs no prophet's eye to see that hereafter gas light will rank, in point of brilliancy and economy, among tbe things of the past. The inventors of Europe and America have made so many and such wonderful improvements in the mechanical appliances pertaiaiug to the use of petroleum and its products, during the last live years, that it would hardly be recognized as the patrol ium light of former days.
A lamp filled^with the beet oil is not more dangerous to use, than if filled with water, and those who are at all incredulous can easiij put the matter to a test.
judge Carlton And the Supreme Judgeship. The mention made of Judge A. B. Carlton some weeks ago by the GAZETTE is meeting with a response from all over the State. Of his flttness for the. place the New Albany Iiedger standard has this to say:
Our exchanaes in various parts of the State, and espcially in the Terre Haute district, indicate th^t the friends of Hon. A. B. Carleton are pressing that gentleman's claims for the nomination as one of the Judges of the Supreme Court, to fill the place now ocr copied by Jadge Pettit, whose time expires next year. We have taken but little part in the discussion of the claims of the several gentlemen for this positien, yet we cannot, withhold expressions of commendation lor Mr. Carleton. He formrely resided in this city, and we are somewhat familiar with his qualifications, and are certain, tbet we reflect -the sentiment of the members of the bar .here, as well es at other points in the Southern part of tbe State, and of many citizens, when we say that his nomination will-be hailed with pleasure, and that he will receive a most cordial suppert, while his name would add a tower of strength to the Democratic ticket. We do not know what other names will* be'presented for the Supreme Court, but are confident that if tJl are aB well qualified as Mr. Carleton there will be no danger, but the right men for the »ghk place will be cho8er.

The great ol^tructipn to Pinchback's admission to the Senate, at present, is tbe question whether there is a de jure Government in .Louisiana, until this question is settled by the Committee on Privileges and Elections.

Washington, Jan. 20.—Bucknertoday by direction of the House Com ittee on the District of Columbia presented views to the Committee on Appropriations that interest on the 3 65 District of Columbia bonds, sbonld be paid from revenues of the district, aud not by a new congressional appropriation, After an intercharge of Views, the subject was referred to sub-committee, consisting of Wells, of Missouri, Hamilton of New Jersey, aud WaldroaMicbigan,
ANEW TERRITORY.
The house committee on territories agreed to-day to have a .special meeting to consider the bill of Franklin to establish a territory to be known os Okalomba. They did this because it was. urged that there are 20,000 citizens of the United States in that country among the Indians with no law to protect them, 8,000 freemen, former slaves of the Indians and 40 000 civilized Indians, that there is no punishment for crime, and that disorder reigns.

The imineose depot building was crowded, over twelve thousand people beittg present and as many more turned away unable to gain admittance. When the building was fall, so dense was the crowd upon all sides of it as to stop tbe street cars. Moody delivered his, lecture on "Daniel."
A collection was taken up to aid the Y. M. C. A. Tbe collection amounted to over $100,000. One lady whose son was converted sent as a thanksnflering a diamond ri iig for which a gentleman gave ?1,000.

St. Louis, Jan. 20.—The argument on demurrer, filed yesterday in the McKee case, began to day in the United States Circuit Court. Judge Chester H. Krura, opened the argument for the defence, stating Hthat the indictment against Mr. McKfe was found under section 5,440 of tbe United States revised statutes and charged that on February 1st, 1874, McKeo did couspire with Bovis, Frazer, JUlricia, Tuciier, Bus'oy and others to defraud the United ^States out.of Internal Revenue tax of 70 cents then and there imposed
011
each of one million pallous of proof spirits to be there distilled: also that on February 15ch, 1834, Bsv'ia and Frazer in pursuance ot this conspiracy did remove from thodistillerv 10,000 proof gallons of spirits on which tbe revenue tax had not been paid, and that the other conspirators above named like manner fraudulently removed spirits without the payment- of tax. It set forth in like detail the reissue of stamps. To this indictment a general demurrer, addressed solely to its demerits, was interposed. Tho section of the statuto under which the indietmer.c was fouud, provided that if two or more persons conspire to do an unlawful act, and if subsequently .any one of them does an unlawful act pursuant to any such conspiracy then all said conspirators are liable. That portion of tho indictment which may be called the conspiracy portion was insufficient, because the effect of that conspiracy could not defraud the United States. Unless the act done in pursuan&e of a conspiracy can work a fraud upon tho United Scates, the conspiracy is not punishable, under the section on which tbi3 indictment is based. Parties may conspiro as much as they please, but unless they conspire to defraud the United States of some proporty right possessed by it, th cannoi bring themselves within this statute. The indictment charged that tho defendant and others conspired to defraud the United States ot a tax of 70 cents per gallon then and there, on February 1st, 1874, imposed by law on spirits to be hwreaftci produced. It charged that tho conspiracy wa3 to deprive the United States not of something that it posessed but ot something it was to become posessed of. There is no averment that they conspired to thereafter produce spirits which were to be disposed of by. them without paying the Government its claim on such spirits, simply charged that they conspired to defraud the Government of an existing tax on tho spirits which were n^t distilled. This was a gross absurdity, and no amount of argument could correct this fatal defect of the indictment, nor could subsequent averments, no matter how strong, afford such correc'.ion. Unless the conspiracy clause itselt was perfect, no subsequent averments in the iu iictment were of any avail, because such clause mustput forth an offense in itself independent of the balance of tbe indictment.
"V
It was
absurd to allege that a tax or 70 cents per gallon was then and there imposed on spirits thereafter to be produced. No trx can bo imposed on distilled spirits until these distilled spirits are actually in existence and hence no conspiracy can be formed to defraud the Government out of that which could not be imposed. Judge Krum elaborated tbia and other points in a lengthy speech, but the above contains the gist of his argument.
Thero was quite an imposing array of counsel present, the Government being represented by District Attorney Dyer and his assistants, Bliss and Pennryick and James O. Broadhead and Major Lucian Eaton, special counsel, and the defense by Judges J. M. and C. H. Krum, Judge Clover, of St. Louis,Hon. D. W. Voorbees and B. W. Hanna, of Indiana, and Col. W. H. Hatch, of Hannibal, Mo.
St. Louis, Jan. 20.—Col. J. 0. Broad head, the new special counsel for the Government in the place of General Henderson, followed Judgo Krum, and said the objections to the indictment made by that gentleman, were hardly material. The law imposing a tax on distilled spirits is well understood the argument for the defense was simply a play upon the word "imposed." It was not intended to mean that tbe tax wa9 in existence before the article was provided it means only that the article of taxation is provided. It is an ordinary term, and is used in the indictment simply to declare what is the law. It was:unnec6ssary,and need not have been inserted in the indictment, but its being there neither weakened nor strengthened that instrument The claim that tho indictment between the conspiracy, and tho acts committed is not supported by authorities. It is insufficient to say that the intentions of the conspirators was to commit a fraud, leaving the Government to show the result of such a conspiracy. To show the connection of the alleged aeis and tbe conspiracy, would be for the .United States to reveal our evidence. Mr. Broadhead took up tbe several other objections and argued them briefly, after which Judge Clover, for the defense, made a short argu ment. The court then overruled the demurrer, and' the trial will proceed to-morrow.
The ihterest in these whisky cases bas revived, and the court room was not only crowded during the argument to-day, but hundreds failed to get in for lack of room.
The Dominion Board of Trade. Ottawa, Ont.,Sanuary 20.—The Do minion. Board of Trade resumed its sitting this morning.
A
resolution was
passsed urging the Government to pass an act to clearly deffue the respective rights and liabilities of common carriers by land and isater, as well os what constitutes the delivery of goods by vessels arriving in ports of the Do minion. The resolutions were moved and seconded to effect that depressed condition of thn manufacturing industries the dominion which calls imperatively for Rue.h legislation as will afford protection to the capital invested in. manufactures, encourage further investment, and afford employment to the people in tho work si1opsof Canada and while recognizing that depression referred to, it may to soma extent be due to over production. It is in the opinion of this board, mainly owing to the competition of American manufacturers, who malte Canada a slaughter market for surplus productions, that there is reasonable ground for the anticipate n.th at this sy eiwofun fai rand unequal, competition "will, without Canadian legislation to meet it, be lessened in the future,buton tho contrary the board is of opinion that the gradual recovery atnonc the psopl® of the United States from tho effects of the civfl war, promiseajtpdncrease it in intensity in the future.' That in the opinion Of this board, the triia and patriotic policy for the Canadian Government would be to adopt a thorougblv national commercial policy, and with that in view, the readjustment of the tariff reciprocal duty with the Unite States should be adopted. That tho executive comroitr tee be requested to memotalize the Parlisment in the sense of these resolutions inrl further, that the products of the soil, the forest and mines and manufactures thereof ba considered.

Flkins, and the local option ticket supporting Elkins, it having resulted that notwithstanding tbe large amounts of money were spent to carry Colfax county against Elkins, and the local option ticket, all were elected.

Tolby, happening about this timo, that fact was used to incite a mob ostensioly to arrest aud kill his alleged murderers, but really to run the probate judge elect, and other officers and partisans of his out of the country. About this limo the News aud Press published some articles- calculated to give comfort to the mob law, and kept up a continued abuse of several promiuent public officials.

their opinions, and au article appeared Potentates of the Earth during thc-ir celea a denunciatory of certain persons who had acted in a very lawless, manner this, however, was retracted by one of the editors, and agaiu the mob was friendly. Some two weeks since, after several men had been killed, and some of the best bad been driven from tho country, including the Justice of tho Peace, udg-3 of Probate, and business paon, tho present editor published an article which showed that he did not subscribe to the tone of the paper. .This caused a final rupture, leaving Mr. Dawson in charge of the paper, lie was immediately notified by au anonymous letter, tbat ho was in danger and must change his tone. He answered a manly way by publishing tbe anonymous letter, and proposing to be entirely independent, and the result was the destruction of the oflice last night. This band of outlaws are mostly iugitives from justices, and persons under indictment in this territory who have been incited to these deeds of murder and general lawlessness, it is. sup? posed, by the political enemies of Mr. Elkins, who, through envy and jealousy of him, desired to defeat his effort to have Now Mexico admitted as a State. A large majority of the people oi this territory are law-abiding, out have not the means of fight these outlaws. It was on the ground oi this lawlessness that tbe Legislature, which has just adjourned, on the last day, almost unatimously passed a bill attaching Colfax county, for judicial purposes, lo Taves county. It was alleged. that not a witnessin Colfaxcounty, would date to testify, or a grand juror to find a bill agaiust any perpetrators of these outrages.
