"THE pressure" is all ou the Mail, and not on the poople, as J, N. would say.
THE wicked Mail made sure that it vas wrong, mid then went backwards.
THE GAZETTE commends to its wicked contemporary,--thd Mail,the scripture phrase, be sure your sins will find you out.
THE GAZETTE is glad to discover that the cruel war which has been waged for over a fortnight among its wicked contemporaries, has about come to :i conclusion. White winged oeace ouce more reigns on the Wabash. The sword has been beaten into the plow share, and the spear into the pruning hook, and a whole den of lions has laid down with a flock of sheep. This is sweet and pleasauf, to the GAZETTE, and the not least grateful feature ot the happy scene to it, is the blessed consciousness that it has striven its best to pour oil upon the troubled waters, ana to calm the .storm. The bene--diction of the peace makers belong'' lo it and we are happy in our virtue Seiah.
WE print to-day ihe abusive article published in the Mail on the 20th of April 1872 against Rev. E. Frank Howe, and published in the T. T. column of that wicked paper.
It is needless for us to remark that it was an anonymous article and was thus a cruel aud malicious stab in the dark. We print it in order that the people may see just how wicked tie Mail has been. Just before going to pres?, however, we are given to understand that the management of that paper has seen the error of its way and is prepared for the future do works meet for repeutance. What reparation it can make for the article we republish to day we do not know aud scarcely understand how any balm can be found either in Gilead or Terre Haute to heal so grievous a wound, The GAZETTE republishes it of course in the cause of injured innocence.
WASHINGTON dispatches begin to intimate that a growing feeling ot animosity exists between Grant and Bristow.' Ulysses don't like the very prompt and hearty fashion in which the Secretarv of tbe Treasury is interpreting th'at little piece of Presidential buncombe about letting no guilty man escape. Anything but pleasuie pervades the Presidential breast at the prospect of his confidant and pal, Gen. Babcock, being forced to walk the plank with McKee, Joyce, McDonald aud the others of that ilk. It seems that he is now disDOsed to chide Bristow for' not understanding that his expression of fierce determination to prosecute the revenue robbers was only intended for the people, but that his own retainers and intimates were not to ba touched. We have faith to believe that Bristow will adhere to his purpose and push the prosecutions with the tireless activity which he has eo farexhibted. Grant dare not remove him for the fearless performance of his duty or if he does, the people will take care of him.
Tbe Octagonal Imbroglio. Tbe Express-Journal-Mail-Howe-Town Talk-Bigblow-P-Silex, octagonal onslaught is at an end. The result1 may he briefly summarised. The Express hit tbe Journal between wind aud water, at the very etart, and it went to crass, and has ever since been nursing a family quarrel aud propounding the most weird and wild conundrums to the Express, which that paper can't begin to ans.wer. It is a draw between them.
The case of the Mail is anomalous. It explained and didn't explain re vealed its secret and concealed it apologized and swore no apology was due from it roared ,like a lion and out cooed a dove, in a word,conducted itself in a wholly irrational and unmasculine manner.
Rev. E. Frank Howe became the confessed author of some personal vicious and anonymous articles, but has not been and will not be convicted of falsehood on the testimony of Mr. Tennants word, alone, and there that matter rests. Nobody has called on him for an apology or expressed a desire to argue with him the truth or falsity of tbe burlesque articles on them, now nearly four years
°*The luckless victim of this anonymous screed comes outf of tbe conflict with flying colors. "P" pitched into everybody and "Silex" struck
P." If we were asked, has any good been accomplished by this roar and racket we should be compelled to answer ambiguously and that would not do. Fortunately one of our contemporaries has given tbe subject consideration, and with a prophets eye, scanned the whole controversy. We append some remarks from the Journal of Monday which we presume relates to the subject, as we can thiuk of nothing else to which they do refer. It will be seen that tbe Journal thinks tbe whole matter a miserable muddle. It says: "If two attorneys whom we will call
A" ma "B"'were engaged in a case, owe on either fide, and '-A.VHS a broth-
certain facts involved in the case, would "B" be justified in taking adtage of that information, and if he did, would he not be branded as a disonorable pettifogger, snd forever shut out from that confidence which gentlemen of any profession or walk in lite repose in each other? There is an editor whom we need not mention that would, should there ever be fouud another creature no disonorablo as the one we have in our mind's eye. defend such a course, and use as his weapon of argument that ho was merely proleeting his back from an unseeen danger. We acknowledge if we were going to have any controversy with a man of that kind, we would aim t- attack him at the strongest point, and consequently, that part of his anatomy for which ho seems to have so much regard would bo in danger."
Bowen Vs Bcecher.
Henry C. Bowen lias at la*t fouud his tongue aud speaks this afternoou in the telegraphic columnsof the GAZETTE with considerable emphasis. His text is of course Beecher and his sins. Bowen's testimony as given in his letter is significant. He says that he has been the repository ot secrets, similar to that of Tiltons, from very many other persons resident in Brooklyn and parishoners of Beecher. lie refuses to give names, as it is of course right and proper he should. The charge of course is of the gravest possible character, not only proving, if true, or capable of substantia-^ tiou, that Beecher is guilty ol'the crime charged upon him by Tillon, and of all the oincomi aata which follow in the trail of that case, in the perjury, hypocracy et, id} geiuu, but holds him up to the community as a libertine and debauchee, whose common practice it has been to enter the homes of his parishioners as a a pastor, and leave them a lustful libertine.
It i3 one of the sad features of this much muddled case, that Mr. Bowen will not give the names of any of the parties, whose secrets, of this nature, have been confided to him.
Of course it is impossible to deny that, in withholding those names, he uot only acts entirely within the limits of propriety, but that a disclosure of such secrets by him would he a gross breach of confidence, and altogether wrong. Nevertheless, While his sileuce is right and proper, it is another of the many misfortunes attending this colossal and all pervading scandal case. If, for example, it were possible for mm to tell one such instance, and the parties would come forward and corrobarate his statement, or without any disclosure on his part they should accuse him openly aud of their own free will, that, taken in connection with the Tilton case would settle bpyond all per-adventure, Beechei's guilt and quite break him down. As it now rests we merely have Henn C. Bowens testimony added to that of the others who testified in the great trial, with certain dark hints thrown out by him of other cases in which his pastor was a villain and a scoundrel.
But all this rests merely upon Mr. Bowens word and there are several very queer things about the man. After disclosures to him as he alleges ofall sorts of villainous practices by Mr. Beecher, practices uot only unbecoming a man, but unworthy even an ordinary villain, ho still continued to remain a parishioner of his, And to take ooDimimion at 1)13 hands. We know that since Beecher withdrew his support from the Independent, and became identified with another newspaper, which has been a successful rival to Bowens property, that gentleman has, at heart, not entertained for him the kiudliest regard. We know further, that Mr. Bowen, in the conduct of the business part of his newspaper, lias not been oblivious to certain sharp, and unprofessional practices forgathering sbeckles, which even the better class of wicked secular papers, long ago decreed to be wroug. In a sentence we know Henry C. Bowen to be an unscrupulous financier—to draw our phrase as mild as possible— nursing a loss of money which he attributes to Beecher, attending his church and taking communion at bis hands "and finally delivering a stab, which if the world can ever be brought to believe his story, will effectually remove the object of enmity from all rivalry with him. Mr, Bowens testimony is startling but not convincing sensational but not reliable. Who believed in Beecher's innocence before, will believe in it still, who doubted it, will be confirmed in his skepticism.
Personal Paragraphs.
Dr. Munhall will be here again on the 14th. Let show people beware. They needn't come here then.
'Squire Grafton F. Cookerly yesterday celebrated tbe Gist return of his natal day. Mr. Cookerly has been for years a useful and honored citizen of Terre Haute, always identified with its best interests, and now, though lar past the medium of life, is yet young in vigor. The GAZETTE wishes him many happy returns.
Lewis Jackson, of Hardin, Harris' St. Clair Barber shop, has a host ol customers who will allow no one else to shave them. Lewis handles his razor with the greatest of care, aud is sure to satisfy everybody.
Rev. S. F. Dunham, rector of the St. Stephens Episcopal Chnroh, leaves on Mouday morning for a short visit to New York.
Mr. John Foster, of New York, is in the city invoicing the stock of goods in the Terre Haute branch. He will proceed Irom here to Fc. Wayne, and thence to Grand Rapids.

Leonard & Lapish bave completed three advertising card racks, to be placed in the St, Clair, National and Terre Haute houses.
A more complete hotel in all its appointments, than the St. Clair, it would be hard t« find. The rooms are all furnished iu the very best of style. There it not a poorly furnished room in the house. The table is supplied at all times with ail the substantiate and all the delicacies of the season. The list of regular boarders has largely increased within the past few mouths, and the tables are always well tilled, both with eaters and eatables. The

Since the sleighing season began it is impossible to turn a corner without meeting one of Jehu Lewis' handsome sleighs, drawn by a rattling trotter. Lewis has no poor horses, no brokeokown sleighs, no dingy, worn out robes, no shaky looking harnes nothing, in fact, that is not first-class. He has horses of all grades, iu the matter of speed. The last young men and maidens can find at this establishment horses tbnt will carry them along at the rate of a mi!e a minute, or moie.
R. W. ltipp6toe has arrivod at the conclusion thnt. bis business is altogether too large to be confined to one establishment, and lie will hereafter conduct a branch store on Fourth street, between Ohio and Walnut.. This will bo a groat accommodation to Mr. Ilippetoe's numerous customers who reside in the southwestern portion of the city. It will .save them a walk of sevoral squares. Rippetoe's customers are all satisfied that they are served with the best Kroeerie3 and provisions in the market, and consequently, do not care to prospect among inferior establishments, where t-ho quality of goods ia extremely uncertain. The same variety and same quality ot goods which have always been found at the White Front, will ba found at the Fourth street establishment. Mr. Rippetoe makes a specalty ol fruits, produce and vegetables, and always has on hand a supply ofall varieties of theso commodities:
Don't rob yourself of the pleasure of a slaighride while the beautiful snow lingers with us. The snow is very unreliable in its habits and is proue to depart on very short notico, therfore, if you wish to enjoy yourself now is the opportunity. Go to Burgan & Milligan, on Third street, between Ohio and Walnut, and sccuro one of their stylish turnouts for an hour's drive through the streets. Burgan & Milligan have a stable lull of the best horses to be found anywhere. Bo sure and give them a call.
George W. Ballew, the popular dentist, is enjoying as large a patronage as any demist in the city. Ballew is thoroughly schooled in his profession, and as he never allows any one to leav.his office dissatisfied, his patronage is constantly on tho increase. His work is as cheap as tho cheapest.
Mfssrs. Wright and Kaufman are among the few business men who can not find time to twiddle their thumbs and whine about hard titcea. They are busy from morning until night in serving their thousands ot customers with groceries and provisions. These gentlemen have gained a reputation for enterprise aud fair-dealing which is sure to bring them plenty of patrons. They keep a complete stock of everything which is required in the culinary department, and sell at prices which laugh at competition.
Bruninsr is recoghized generally as the Prince of caterers. His French restaurant is supplied with the best provisions the market afiords, and his cooking is simply superb. A few more tablet boarders by the week can be accommodated. Commutation tickets sold at a reduction.

WOMAN.
Her Sphere and Influence,
A Good Word Spoken for Bev. tlcwe.
To the Editor of the GAZSTTKMany times complaints are made in words and in print that the ladies of the present day are not as domestic as good grandmothers were. Many of tue sterner sex are eager to say it u, because women are getting such new landed ideas about their rights, and want to ba tqual with men tor instance, go to tue polls, vote ami have every tWe-.ue of life, which will bring a remunerative compensation, open to women as well as men. But ieut assured, Mr. Editor, and kind reader, it is by no means tbe strong minded woman, but it is more likely to be the doll baby plaything who makes home unhappy. And right here, let me say, shame ou our Legislators, to allow the Centennial sun to rise, while the bast portion of the community is still in bondage. According to our forefathers' '•Taxation without representation is slavery."
Woman suff.ag?, however, is not to be the leading tbome ol' this article, but only that which, with tho rest,constisuteTtho fireside talk. Young ladies could be taught not to regard family life, with its duties, irksome, if if they are shown to tbem in their beneficial light, and not only the dark side ot them. Two intimate friends of my acquaintance (both of whom are strong minded women) have informed me ofa plan which is worthy of imitation. In both houses are young ladies growing up. oace or twice per week two of theso young girls got up the dinner iu one of thesa houses. They get the money to buy what they consider necessary to furnish a nice re past, which teaches them what every housewife ought to know, the purchasing of provisions. You nny be assured, Mr. Editor, that they vie with eash other in getting up" good dinners, while the rest of the family have a jolly time, always some of tne members being present in whose house the dinner is uot served. Criticisms, and complimentg vary, and help to improve these students of the gastric art. How pleasant cousins or oth or young friends could spend a day together this way, and how much more profitable to their future homes, than to run the streets or gossip about their better neighbors lor surely the real low,and mean are loft preciously alone even by a Mrs. John Smith or any other T. T. Speaking of T. T. puts me in mind of the Howe-Exprtss imbroglio, I think the rule, which Christ told us to try to punish a certain sin, would also work well in this asserted cowardice and slandbring case. Let him who is free from cowardly or slanderous actions toward his neighbors throw the first stone it is more than likely that all would have to sculk away the same as tbe Jews of old, and leave the Rev. alone with his God. The man who stood up before a fashionable audience.and spoke to them of one of the most disgusting, and to the shame of a free nation be it said quite a common crime of Infanticide, the man, who speaks to a congregation of the great sin of which God sayeth '"It shall bo punished into the third and fourth generations the sowing of the wild oats" so common among our young men, and which accounts as Mr. H. so forcibly demonstrated in the pulpit for many of our young men burying their wifes, and little ones in tbeir youth. The man who had the stamina to advocate the cause of our fallen sisters, and exhort his congregation to kind treatment toward that unfortunate class who are led into that terrible path by man who are still respected in the community, or by what is more seldom the case, by an inborn propensity for which the ignorance of their parents i« responsible, and for which they are to be pitied.
The man who uttered those truths publically can uot be a very great coward or slanderer. Is it just to mar the usefulness of any member in society, who has done much good, but who, like all of us, is but human?
Hoping that we, as a community, will soon come to realize that if we believe in good examples, it would be better to be at least fully as prompt to speak of a person's good acts as well as to censure thom for bad ones.

Some Oood Advice to Him by & Friend.
To the Editors of the Gazette And now comes the irrepressible "P" who shies his castor into the ring and ejndeavors to coax a fight out of the two combatants now engaged in the HoweSmith mill, thus converting the duello into a triangular combat. As tbe Captain, however, attacks both of fhe other combatants, the prospect is good, that unless he is wary,he may receive a good drubbing or his temerity. As a lover of fair play, therefore, and in a friendly spirit, I propose giving him a few words of advice, as to his mode of conducting the controversy and make no charge for the same.
In the first place he should avoid all attompts at fine writing and use lan guage which will express his meaning concisely and distinctly. His communications are sometimes so redundunt, with metaphors and similes that the the argument is obscured and people cannot tell what ho is driving at. And theu his metaphors are not consistant. Fer example we were told in his la^t article that a "masked battery was con spiciously exposed in tbe front col umns" of the Mail. Now the Captain's military education has been sadly neglected if he does not know that this is contradiction of terms, a solecism in fact, utterly indefensible, unless, indeed, he justify it by an ancient precedent,— lucus anon lucendo."
Another objection to the Captain's style, is the interlarding of his com. munications with scriptural texts and pious exhortations, which, though showing an intimacy with tbe Bible and with the plans of God, is better suited to the pulpit or to the religious weeklies than to the columes of the daily secular press—so called.
The developments ot the Beecher trial have surfeited the people "ad nauseam" with this sort of literature, especially where it has demonstrated that pious utterances of this kind, by an individual, were not incompatible with the practice of the grossest immoralities. I will venture to say also, that three-fourths of hia readers invariably skip such portions of his articles as are here referred to.
If the Captain expects to hold his own, in a controversy with two such well trained adversaries as be seeks to encounter, he must relieve himself of all unnecessary dead weight, and take every advantage of the situation.
have pointed out to him bis pcculdefects.

There might have been a very destructive fire last Tuesday morning about 4 o'clock, had it not been for our night policeman, Capt. W. C. Scott. The Captain was standing at the corner of|Hysung & Campbell's drug store, when he noticed a man walking rapidly up the street, who had emerged from somewhere about Jarboe's grocery store. Mr. Scott's suspicions were at once aroused, so walking up the street, be turned a corner, and looking up the alley at the rear of the business houses on the south side of east Main street, ho disoovered a fire which was making fast progress at the rear of Jarboe's grocery store. The alarm was given and the hose companies quickly oa hand, but it was put out before they arrived. It did but little damage to the building, but had it not been for the timely discovery of Mr. Scott, the whole square would likely have burned.
The Ptcshyterians give notice through the Brazril papers that they will hold a meeting at their church on the 8th instl, for the purpose of electing officers and transaction of other business.
