Tiie Uazetiea naeisiou.
It grieves the GAZETTE groatly to reproduce from its cotemporaries the mass of quarreling literature which has accumulated since our last issue. We could wi3h that they would cease scratching each others eyes out, and having learned to love ouo another, turn from their wicked ways to those paths of pleasantness and peace, where wisdom and the GAZETTE may be found walking together, in the cool of the evening.
Our design at the first, in republishing what they said, was tbat they might serve as a warning to papers for all time, of tho unprofitaDleness of quarreling. Afterwards we found that the people relied upon tho GAZETTE, and the GAZETTE alone, for the consecutive chapters, and whole particulars of this bad serial story. In the others, here, there, and everywhere, they would find it, iu parts, broken, and disjointed, but in the GAZETTE full and complete.
It had even come to such a pass that in order to keep the run of the story, people Avould have to take two editions of the same paper, for the Mail was wonderfully courageous last week in a paper it printed on Thursday and sent to a lew of the neighboring towns. Its courage however, "petered out" before Saturday and it suppressed at home what it sent abroad. Now this discrimination upon its part against it.-, home readers, the GAZETTE cannot allow, nor is it willing that the Mail should seem as meek as it presented itself oa Saturday.
Moreover, we are in the condition of a person who prints a serial story. Having carried the plot to its climax, we are under \onds to carry it through. People who rely on the GAZETTE must not be dissapointed.
First, then, is an admission by the Mail of plagiarism. Thia appeared Thursday but not Saturday. It (reads "A CONFESSION.
I may here remark that a series of articles written by GeorgD William Curtis for Harper's Bazaar many years ago,under tho title ol "Manners on the
Road"
Following this is a little allegorical anecdote. It appeared in Thursday's issue of the Mail, which, as it seems, is intended to inspire our country cousins with the feeling that our Ferry is always victorious in his town squabbles, and a very lion in valor and fury. The story reads: "THE NAUGHTY ORLANDO—A NICE LIT
TLE STORY FOR BOYS.
Once upon a time there was a little boy by the beautiful name of Orlando, who had an ugly habit of. throwing snowballs at people as they came away from church. He did not really, at-first mean any £arm by it, and, perhaps, if the truth were known, did it more than anything else, for the purpose of bringing himself into notice. He bad been petted and indulged a good deal and no ay have been a little spoiled was possibly a little vain. To throw snowballs at well-dreised, respectable people, seemed to him not only very amusing, but rather a daring, heroic kind of business, quite out of the general line, and one which would give a boy a reputation for independence and spirit, a reputation which he undoubtedly coveted.
But when little boys commeace snow-balling under such circumstances there is no telling where it will end. Now if Orlando, in making his snowballs, had only confined himself to snow, the result might have been different. Of course the people who were hit, as well as those who were only in dread of it, would be very much annoyed by the repeated attacks, but nobody would have thought seriously enough about the matter to have cared to punish him. But pretty soon Orlando began mixing mud with his snow-
throwing this was very wrong in the
1
lando, and it was worse still when be iiot to jumping up and down before the church door and screaming, ''I heathen." "I'm a Theodore futon. "You're a set of contemptible liars aud hypocrites."
And there is where Orlando made a great mistake for about that tit«e a 'ittle boy by the name of Frank lit into him with dozen or more good sized snow-balls and i:le:uiod hiiu out. IIo not only cleaoed iiixi out, but he throw him down and rolled him sjjid over ir: tho snow and "washed his lace*" And that made Orlando very an-•M-y indeed, and he threatened if Frank ever did it again he would tell Frank's mother on him. He didn't mean that he would toll her that Frank lickoa him, but that F-iank had done some other very wicked, naughty thinghad, in short, told a lie And Orlando kept repeating this terrible throat a ]on°" time, and at lpst when he found that ho couldn't scare any body, ho did toll Frank's mother, and it turned out
that
GAZETTE, Terre Haute, lud-
Frank wasn't a liar after all, and everybody laughed at Orlando for being a big booby and trying to save himself from being licked by "threatening to tell a boy's mother on him."
What came over the spirit oi bis dreams after this tho .GAZETTE knows uot. Perhaps his courage "petered out" horhaps ho wearieu. oi conflict-, mayhap his heart filled to overflowing with grace, mercy, and peace. At all events this allegory was incontinent^ suppressed.
It is proper to remark that the original -'Bigblow" article was also printed in this bloodthirsty Thursday edition hut—well tho fear of tho law is the bo ginning of wisdom. It was not printed Saturday.
So much for the brave but obscure Thursday Mail. Now in Saturday's edition appeared the following card from Mr. Howo. Tho felicity of the idea of arguing with a man the propriety of ridiculing him four years before, will suggest itself to every mind. The article reads: "A CARD FROM MR. HOWE." "As Dr. Read has called at the Mail office to inquire who was the author of what is known as the "Dr. Bigblow" article, which appeared nearly four
years
ago in the T. T. column, I iufer that he feels agrieved thereby, and, being the author of that article I am bound by my offer of la3t week to make a "public apology or a public defense." As I cannot truthfully make an apology, I must put in a defense.
First. I desire to say that the article was not prompted by malica. I had no spite to .gratify, as my casual relations with tho doctor had always been of a friendly nature.
Next, I am bound to say that the article was not written simply in sport. I hold every man's feelings too sacred to be trilled with in the way of ridiculing his eccentricities, weaknesses, or even faults, merely for the tun of the thing. Disclaiming sincerely all malice and trifling, I will, in a manner unobjectionable to the doctor and his friends as I am able to command, give my reasons for writing the article.
I iiad long felt that the Doctor not only held, but was constantly proclaiming publicly, sentiments and principles, and making unwarranted assertions which were prejudicial to the best interests of society. This he was doing with what seemed to me an assumption of wisdom and knowledge which, with many unthinking people, and especially with the young, carried tho conviction that his statements and principles were correct. It was impossible to counteract this influence by argument, for with liim tnere is no possibility of arguing, but only of listening. Of course the public must judtre for itself whether I was correct 'in the conclusions at which I arrived. But with these opinions firmly settled in my own mind, I determined to use the power of the press, in my regular and legitimate connection with it, to counteract what I thought to be, and still think to have been, an evil iullu-
6nWith
was palmed oft on an innocent
and confiding public by the godly and righteous Mail in "Town Talk" as original.—[O. J. Smith in Sunday's Express.
T. T. 'fesses up. He admits the charge —that is, it two articles may bo called "a series"—pleads guilty and_ throws himself on the mercy of the court. The two articles,—at a time when the spirit force was low, and T. T. was hard up,— wers appropriated—"adapted" is the more polite term with jounalists. One was "a talk to young politicians," the other on "ostriches," showing how like are some people to this bird. As remarked they were not exactly stolen, but "adapted." Some local remarks were slung in so that George William would scarcely have recognized them."
Dr. Read in my mind, penned
the article representing, in a fictitious character such a man as he seemsd
Mr. Howe makes a labored and painful effort to explain, softly and justly the attack on Dr. Read. He wrote it, he says, to neutralize the effect of some of Dr. Read's thoughts and opinions That is, he answered ideas with son
to
me to be, combining especially the traits which gave him, what I regarded as his harmful power. My purpose was not to hold him personally up to ridicule, but by means of the article to vindicate bis pretensions, and so lead people to think twice beforo they accepted him, or any one with such traits, as an oraclo. I was honestly surprised to lined tbat the original of my fictitious character, was so soon, and so universally recognized and this more than any thing else, made me doubt whether my article was needed.
The grounds then of my defense are, tbat the article is truthful in its representations, and was, .as I thought, demanded by the public good.
I am sorry to say these things,which, however little the Doctor can care lor me or my opinions, cannot be pleasant to him. The responsibility of creating the neceasity which calls for this card, must rest with the man who, in malice toward me, and without friendship to ward the Doctor, chose to rake up an affair long since dead, and to use him as a "cat's paw" to draw from The Mail office information,Jof which he pretended to be in full possession before, but which he did not have, and without which he did not dare to publish his weak testimony to prove me untruthful. E. F. HOWE."
Tn addition to this, in Saturday's Mail was some linked sweetness long drawn out, under the head of "Petered out," which text it sought to exemplify in the article. Its real reply to the Express' charge of falsehood upon the part of the author of the Dr. Bigblow article, lies in the following editorial item which it will be seen calls R. S. Tennant a liar, and leaves him to be "judged by his own conscience and the public." Thi3 really pungent paragraph reads: "Mr. Hewe, in his card to O. J. Smith, published in the Express of last Tuesday, said, 'If any man, or five hundred men, testify that I have denied the authorship of any article of which I am the author, he or they are either mistaken or intentionally testify to what is false.' We are authorized by him to say that this is all tbe answer he has to make to R. S. Tennant's statement and it is all that indefinite and weak statement needs. We must add that it seems very strange to us, as it does to the public generally, that any man should permit himself to be used by a man confessedly actuated by malice, to destroy character, and that too, when all his testimony i# based upon a casual conversation upon the street which took place four years ago, and about which it is so easy to be mistaken, and when he can not, or dots not. repeat one word that Mr. Howe uttered during that conversation. We leave Mr. Tennant to be judged by his own conscience and by the public."
Now on the other side, the Express of yesterday sails into the Mail and Rev. Howe in the following article headed: "ANOTHER PERSONAL STATEMENT.
I owght, I suppsse, submit to Mr. Howe's case to the public without further discussion, content with the fe&ble utterances in his favor in yesterday's Mail but there are one or two other points which I can not forbear to use.
The Mail's statement that, to oblige Dr. Reade, it declines to republish the article concerning him, is absurd, since the whole public knows that it does so to avoid the responsibility of a libel suit promised by Dr. Read in the Express of Friday.
at is, he answered ideas with per-
lal abuse and ridicule. By making.
such a statement Mr. Howe has given the public a deeper and clearer
insight
of sLuig in which it attempts to show that I have failed iu my charges against Mr. Howe. All of my original charges were made good by tho evidence of Mr. Westfall and Mr. Howe, who have admitted that Mr. H. wrote "Town Talk" articles, and that he quibbled or evaded or denied tho authorship of that department. 1 did not expect in the opening of this issue to be called on to prove that Mr. Howe had denied the authorship of a particular aiticle that he had written. It was a sharp piece of practice to demand evidence that he had denied being tho writer ol specific articles printed from two to four years ago. If I had failed to give such evidence it would not weakened my case that I did advance complete and perfect proof that he denied the authorship of the Dr. Read article, makes tho case as strong as I could desire.
In conclusion I will recur to the real question at issue, stripped of all arttul endeavors to hide or to cloud it. What is tbe "Town Talk" department of the Mail, and what has given it notorioty? Is it literary or moral excellence, or high thought, of uooful worthy aims? The soberithought u. this people answers no. That department of the Mail has boon in existence for four years, lacking only a month, long enough for the people to arrive at a just and fair verdict. I speak tbe voice of tbe reading public of Terre Haute, and without one disinterested dissent, I believe, when I say that the fame of "Town Talk" rests upon a number of scurrilous and objectionable personal assaults, strung together with a series of common-place and uninteresting articles—a few black buttons ^standing out on a string of odd colors. But lor the scurrilous articles tho department would have died long ago. People did not know that there was a "Town Talk" until Dr. Read was attacked. I venture to say that it is the reccollection of ninetynine out of a hundred that the "Bigblow" article was the first of the series It was the first that was noticed, but find by the files that it was really tho sixth. The real questions of denial, or of veracity, aside from Mr. Howe's motives in assaulting me, or from my mo tives in assaulting Mr. Howe, is this— whether tbe man who wrote such articles and hid their authorship,is a proper critic of tbe morals, motives or beliefs of other people, and whether such literary work is honorable, or is creditable to him. Thi-j question I respect fully submit to the verdict of the reasonable and fair-minded meu and women of Terre Haute.
O. J. SMITH."
Tho evidence being all in the GAZETTE renders its decision. The plaintiff has 1st, knocked the Journal out of time 2d. Proven the Mail to be weak kneed and grandmotherly 3rd. Proven Mr. Howe to have written some personal and anonymous articles which to all fair-play loving Americans is not regarded—we are speaking now very mildly—as tbo square thing. 4tb. It has treated "P" very cruelly in not noticing him.
Per contra. It has failed to prove Mr. Howe guilty of falsehood. "Let us have peace."
IIKN1IUCKS AMI WOOLET.
Bnchcye Rplnrnn to Hie Charge and Miows U]» the Political Ciooftcdness of our Governor—Mr. Mesi(U'icha' Statement.
From the Indi&napolis Journal. The Cincinnati Enquirer lias the following letter from Colonel C. W. Woolley, better known as •'Buckeye.".
Cincinnati Jan. 31, 1S7G.
To the Editor of tho Enquirer: Some one has been kiDd enough to send me a copy of the Indianapolis News of the 27th instant, containing the result of an interview with tbe Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks in regard to my charge against him of breaking his promises in 1868 to the friends of botb Mr. George H. Pendleton and Gen. W. S. Hancock. Mr. Hendricks was pleased to say in the "interview" that our conversation respecting his promise to Mr. Pendleton was held in the presence of a member of his family, and that he cannot, therefore, repeat it. Whereupon the News indorses his position as exhibiting "a feeling both commendable and manly" I would pass this by but for the fact that it infen entially represents me as removing the social cover of a family conversation. I went to the house of Mr. Hendricks on the night of the 4th of Jan., 18G8, equipped with an introductory letter from Mr. Pendleton, and asked at the door only for the Governor—then Senator. The letter stated plainly that the object of my visit was to ascertain the position of the leadiug Democrats in Indiana as to a candidate for the Presidency before the approaching National Convention in New York, and my four hours' talk with Mr. Hendricks upon presenting it was atrictlv confined to the subject in hand." There was no wined
a
lk up
on the occasion, neither was bread broken, and if any one was present during the visit it was by right of possession, or upon the invitation of the Governor. Although the fact of my virtues may have no abidingplace in the memory of Mr. Hendricks, I feel that he knows I could not be provoked by him to do such an ungallant and unmanly thing as to involve the estimable person to whom he alludes in a controversy be tween him and me, It therefore seems to me (most harshly, I admit) that be has himself deliberately committed an impropriety which another would scorn, iu order to save himself from adding falsification to falsehood, or of making a mo'st shameful cons fession.
How about the engagements with General Hancock? Was there any one present when they were formed to seal his lips,too?
The Indiana Democracy did, on the 8th of January, 1868, indorse Mr. Pendleton for the Presidency, and Mr. Hendricks did, then aud there, make a speech approving its action. Why, then, was he at a Hancock conference in Washington, about four days afterwards, in company with Col. L. D. Campbell and others? Why did he tell Gen. Steedman, on the 1st of May following, that he opposed the expressed choice of his own State and wanted Hancock? Why did General Hancock tell me on the last of June that "those Hen dricks fellows" had betrayed him, too? and why, in view of these facts, was Mr. Hendricks a candidate himself before the National Convention?
The "News" man should try hig rcportorial spoon wain.
ning called upon Governor Hendricks with a view to getting from His Excellency, if possible, a statement in regard to the above letter. He found

room, where myself and Mr.s. Hendricks were seated by the lire as usual. She was present during the whole of the conversation, and what it was is known only to we threo who were present. Under these circumstance", I can't have any controversy with bim on the subject. His intimation that Mrs. Hendricks was present "by invitation" is entirely gratuitous and uncalled for, as we were seated together when he was introduced into the room." In regard to the intimations of the letter that he had betrayed the other candidates, or "sold them out, nothing.

St, Lous. Fob. 6.—Judgs John C. Porter, of Now York, counsel for Gen. Babcock, and C. C. Griffin, Assistant Secretary of President Grant, arrived to-day and are quartered at the Lindell hotel, .It is staLed on the authority of Judge Krum that the President will come out bore during the trial and probably be a witness for the defense. The Timas this evening gives the following, upon high authority, as the manner in which the defense expect to explain the letters and the telegrams which passed between Messrs. McDonald, Joyce and Babcock regarding the contemplated visits to St. Louis ot revenue agents to examine distilleries. These despatches will be admitted by the defense as genuine, and even the purpose of tbe despatches will be admitted. But it will be represented that both McDonald and Joyce were held in the highest esteem as gentlemen and officials by all tne Treasury officials and many other dignitaries at Washington. Thi't their superior offi cers regarded them I'-S among the most honorable, trustworthy, and efficient revenue officials in the service, as well as true and devoted friends of the administration. That such confidence was reposed in them by their superiors in office as to induce General Babcock to receive them on terms of intimacy, and even consult them sometimes on important State matters, but that they boasted of the powerful political influence tbat they possessed in Missouri, and that they were constantly and earnestly working for the good of the Administration, and were gradually and surely adding to the strength of the party in the State, and under such influences it will be represented. Gen. Babcock lelt safe in complying with almost any request they made qf him, confident that to grant it was for the good of the public service and the Republican party that he saw others higher in position than himself yield to the request, and giad ly receive and adopt the advice ol Mc Donald especially. Honce, he honestly believed he was doing right in ad vane ing any measure McDonald advocated upon tbe explanations made by the latter under such influences, an honestly believing be was doing right and giving proper advice to two of the most trustworthy officials of the G-ove_rn-ment, who would use it with discretion and lor the good of the service. The defense will represent that General Rabcock did send certain telegrams of the character named, but will stoutly deny and ofFer evidence to prove that he never received a dollar from McDonald or Joyce, or imagined that the whisky ring existed. Testimony will also be introduced,of course, to sustain the relations of Babcock aud McDon aid as explained above.

EYE SIGHT.
"Sight Is the most precious grift I tie Creator."

They made prematurely old, by. weiiryig elansei which are either loo siring orjgloo tyeak Amaurosis and its kindred diK*#ses are ^jro duced by wearing glasses which ara"defective. and when glasses are worn which do not fit the sight exactly. All these l»iflienl«ies can be be Obviated by having spectacles accurately adapted tc the eyes, by using glasses whlcu are grourta accurately, and which produce no PrUmai ic rays of licffit.
WE CXAIM FORTH E
Peruvian Pebble Spectacles and Eye-Glasses, The following advantages over all others 1st. Being a natural stone and almost as hard as the diamond, it is utt.rly impossible to scratch or deface them. 2d, They are perfectly colorless, a property which no other Glass or Pebble has. 3d. Each lens is ground, polished and ctntered with such exact nicely, that me slightest imperfection is impossible. 4th. Being much harder than any other Glass or Pebble, they are consequently cooler to the eyes, and can be used for a great*, er nember of censecutive hours, without latiguelng the weakest eyes. 5th. The sight,instead of becoming weak er, as with the ordinary spectacle and requiring frequent cnange, gets stronger, anc one pair will last a great many years.
Gth. We warrant them not to bi-eal through any fault in the manufacture oi the Spectacle, and should they do so, oui agenpwill repair them free of charge. 7th". The frames are made of tiie finest material, highly polished, and tempered, light strong, and durable.
We warrant every pair of our' PERUVIAN SPECTACLES and EYE GLASSES to be a PURE STOKE and
not
Glass.
None genuine unless stamped with ruy trade mark.
