Wednesday Evening, March 1, 1876.

THE

Terre Haute Jouraal and Ev-

ansville Courier, will excuse our pertinacity, but they really must, staud up. They both endorsed au editorial of the ISxpresa, the very shadowy, but wild und demagogicalsenliments of which, when explained by the Expre.-s, in answer to the attacks of the

GAZETTE,

are rank communism.

The Express proposes to sunstitute martial for civil law, all over the land in time of war, and collect the revenues by Provost Marshals, and Recruiting officers, instead of by civil service revenue officers, and ail without any assessmsut. Do you endorse this? Speak up geutlemen. If you are communists, let us know it.

•'WHAT is there so worsbpful and sacred about corn or hogs, or clothing or money, above men, that the latter may be impressed by Government and the latter nol?" This is the famous conundrum of the Express. He who ask9 it does not know what a mau is, or what property is. He sees that in war Government, needs men and also properly. He thinks that since tbe Government out of all the men in the country compels part to go choosing them by lot, that property should be impressed by lot, the unlucky giving up all and the lucky man none, as is done with men.

If this is not what he thinks, then he proposes that since only a part of the whole property of tlie country is taken by the Government, and of that, t-ome from each, that men should be treattd in the same way.

There are but two ways to do this, eithn1 cut up men and send pieces of them into the field, or let them ro« tate In service. By this latter plan, if Government needed one half of the men. in the country, it should take one half one day, and the other the next.

All this is the wildest nonsense, but it must be the plan of the Express, or it could never have propounded its famous conundrum. It says, and says seriously that it is making "hogs worshipful, above men," to impress the latter as we do, by lot and taking tbe whole man, and to assess the value of hogs and all other property in the land, and :ake proportionate parts by taxation from all the people in the land.

"ProTOSi Ma'ShHis and Kecrui'iag Oflicet s." Has our communistic contemporary ever thought ot the horrid possibility of the possessors of "unworshipful and not-sacred-above men, corn, hogs, etc.," joining the army and bf/coming Provost Marshals and Recruiting officers? Suppose these martial possessors of unworshipful corn and hotjs should belong to that class of citizens whom the Express so loathes aud despises, viz, those who loan their mnney at the highest rate of interest they can get, instead of the lowest. They are purse proud, and arrogant, and mean, and pusillanimous they are extortioners, and blood suckers, and bloated bond holders, and grinders of the poor they are not possessed of mercy, or grace, or truth or humanity they are aristocrats, and coupon clippers, aud Shylocks, and oppres ors of the poor. All this they are as citizens, according to the Commuuistic Express,and yet it would place tbe people under them as Provost Marshals and Recruiting officers. Would their uatures, as soldiers, bediHierent from thei*- natures as individuals and citizens? Is war such a humanizing, aud christianizing institution that a "blood sucking" citizen pressed of unworshipful, and not-sacred-above-men, com, hogs etc.," would become a guardian of the weak and lowly, when he came to ce a Provost Marshal, or a Recruitine officei? It is possible that the rich finding Provost Marshals, and Recruiting offlcerp, such potent peisor», would buy them all up for themselves, aud more than make back the price paid by exempting themselves: There i9 a current rumor that patriotic, and "worshipful, and sacred above corn, hogs etc." suttlers, commi-sarles and quartermasters, made-fortunes out of war by supplying the "soldiers with unworshipful, and very rotten corn and bogs. Might not Provost Marshals, and Recruiting officers, be equally unscrupulous? Sole arbitors of what they shall impress', and how qiuch of

Tap Communism of the lljir as.

Tlie GAZETTE,has

been very con-

-eiclerate in answering the communis tic conundrum of the Express, \Ve asktd several questions of it yesterday, not one of which it attempted to a nswer. This is not as it should be. It can answer all by a sttaitforward explanation of the plan by which it proposes to execute its scheme. It may not stop at venting its rage against loosely stated wrongs, and advocate the beating down of all those rules and regulations wifich constitute the laws of the land, and are generally supposed to be the safe guaidsofour liberty. To do that in to play the part of an incendiary and to Edvocale anarchy.

We understand that it proposes to abolish the nieseut system of collecting taxes through civil officers, and based upon assessment, substituting therefor martial law, drum head court martials and "Provost Marshals and Recuiting Officers."

Mureover it proposes no plan, oth* er than each Provost Marshals own judgment in the matter, for making this impressment of "unworshipful and not-sacred-above men, corn, hogy etc," bear equally upon wealth. That is to say it, believes, with Proudhon. that "property is robbery," and thinks it unnecessary foolishness to was-.e time in trying to make tbe impressment equitable. All people with property are robbers, with no rights which a "Provost Marshal or Recruiting officer" is bound to respect. We understand that much of the doctrine of the Express, and we loathe and despise it. Any attempt to put such a doctrine in practice would be a crime.

But there are certain details of its system which we must insist upon knowing. We press these inquiries, though we are aware of the fact that to answer them is not as pleasant to the Express, as it is to denounce existing institutions and raise a barbaric yawp about "the men who fought the battles being required to pay the two hundred per cent, which money exacted iu the nation's time of trouble."

As a mere matter of curiosity we call the readers attention to the fact, that the Express has again lapsed from grace. It now denies inferential^-, the admission we forced from it the other day, to the effect that the possessors of property helped to fight, the nation's battles. But lot that pass.

We want to know if tne Express would impress fr,m day to-day, by its" P, M.'s and R, O.'n," sufficient supplies to sustain the Government? Bysupplies, we mean everything the Nation needs, including the army, the pay of congressmen, judges, executive officers &c. This can be answer* yes, or no.

If ye.-*, we understand its meaning well, and will only have to ask what it would do in that case to pay the interest on any existing debt. Would it impress from the people the money to pay that iuterest, or Would it impress the bonded evidences of that debt in the hands of its holders, and extinguish the debt, by burning the bonds?

If it answers no, to the question first askpd, wo then wlsfi to know how would it raise the balance?

Would it kerp up, ia addition to the force of "P. M.'s and R. O.'s,' the present system of civil service revenue officers' whose levies by taxation have been, by its showing, so unjust? Or would it borrow money?

If it borrowed money, would it impress money owners, and compel them at the point of bayonets in tbe hands of "P. M.'s and R. O V» to lend on the governments own terms, as to rate of interest, teugth of time, and kind of money iu which the loan should be repaid?

If the government fixed its own rate, and compelled men to loan, what should be hat rate, and who would fix it? Should the question be left to tbe Express, aDd if not, who should determine it?

If men are not to be compelled to loan their money, at the borrower's option, but are left to their own option in the matter, what would the Express do, if the fl'er of interest it made was not accepted? Would it raise the rate?

If, after the raise, still sufficient was not forth coming, would it taise again, as was done in the matter of bounties for soldiers?

After successive raisings of the rate of interest, would it, at the conclusion of the war, refuse to pay the rate of iuterest agreed upon with the latest Ioaners, and compel them to take what it agreed to pay to those who loaned first?

If it did this latter thing would it not ne stealing, and is not a person who steals, a thief?

But, taking another hypothesis, suppose, when it was in the business of impressing money, that everybody in this country hid his money? What would the Express then do?

In our late war we borrowed much money abroad and were glad to get it. Moreover we put bonds o^ the market bearing a certain rate of iu terest and when the money failed to return from them in sufficient quantities to supply our needs, we raised the rate, recognizing a sort of ab surd right in a man to sell the use of bis money at his own figures or keep it, just a man does with bis "unworshipful, corn hogs c," or with his muscle or his mind.

Would the Express impress money in tbe shape of forced loans from foreigners?

Has the Express eve»* thoi'ght that that would biing about a war? Has tbe Express ever thought, hat the American Eaele, though a proud bird, probably could not conquer the whole Euronean menagery?

Has the Express ever thought that iu such a buccaneering expedition it would itself bet he only volunteer? But why multiply questions? The Express must explain its plan. .,

Taxation.

Evidently the Express thinks that taxation is a sham and a delusion, It imagines there is no force or pre vision about it. It has been so long since the Express pub! shed the de linquent tax list that it has forgotten what a "persuasive cuss" the Treas-

UIjf

our communistic neighbor fails to pay, next fall, tbe tax levied upon its •'unworshipful and noto sacred above men, cows, hogs etc. "it will learn isdom iu the chool of better experience. It will find, first of all, that, if it does not pay by a certain day, ten per cent.,will be added to

Ito tax. We Jiave a faint recollection or having heard the fjxprwss rave unrt rend its hair at ten per centw

Then, again, if it does not pay that

GAZETTE, announcing that a piece of

unis- property, the title deeds of Which the

Express holds, will be sold on a cer-^ tain other d*y. If the Express nhould fail to attend the Sale, and hid if in, some Shylock, probably John Brake, will. Aud unlessthe ExpiteS3 makes its peace with J. B. according to certain ten per cent, formulas, and pays certain advertising bills, etc., all of which is laid down in the statutes, it will find that It is no longer a bloated property holder, but a poor devil ripe for communism and carnage.

Oh, no! There is no precision about taxation. A man whose property is assessed at $100,000 pays no taxes. Oh, no! Oh, my! Oh, pshaw!

W A SHIM! ION NOTES.

Washington, Feb. 29.—Tha Secretary of the Treasury has decided upon the following transfers of Internal Revenue Supervisors: Thomas J. Brady, now in charge of Kentucky, Tennessae, Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana, with headquarters at Louisville, has been assigned to the district composed of Indiana and Ohio, with head quarters at Indianapolis. Supervisor 'fuller, now in charge of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and tho District of Columbia, and Supervivor Hunt is transferred from Indianapolis to Philadelphia, in place of Tuller.

The committee rfsained from yesterday among other things (hatGen. Schenck received 300 shares in addition to 500 previously owned by him which sold for £23 a share, or £3 pounds pre mium after the quality of the mine had been magnified. Professor Sill man was at Salt Lake City with Williams, an English Director of the Emma Mine Company. Stewart left the session of the Senate in the winter of 1872 and soon thereafter the famous telegram signed by Sillinan, Williams and Hussey was sent to London representing that large veins ot oro had been discovered at the Emma mine. This was considered very remarkable. The telegram was mado public on the morning ol'the 6th of April, 1872. The new discoveries were represented at 8,000 tons,worth $2,000 a ton,or.fl6,600.000 the witness related that in a conversation between Park and himself, Park said it was hard for Gen. Schenck to live on 817,000 a year. He had to buy dresses for membeis of his family, which cost §700 apiece, to go to Queen Victoria's drawing room,and the dresses could be worn only once. Park did not blame Gen. Schenck for wanting to make money. At another time Park said be was going to have a little game with tbe General, who was a good poker player. Witness testified that Albert Gr..nt, the promoter of the Etc ma mine speculation in England, informed him that he gave Senator Stewart 2.000 shares of stock to become a dir ctor himself,ind to assist in getting Gen. Schenck's ame on the board. Park informed witness that Fisher, of Vermont, an intimate friend of his, owed Schunck 3,000 pounds sterling for services render ed in aland grant, which perhaps was disposed of in Holland. Park wanted Schenck to give Fisher an opportunity to make something, and Schenck afterward said that be found Fisber to be a very valuable than.

Fisher wrote articles for the London Minim? Journal,

pvyIuK

«~-rerjr large

price fort eir publication, and they were extravagant in praise of tbe richness of the Emma mine,'and ef a most extraordinary character an the misrepresentation on June 4th, 1872, the Emma mine literally caved or collapsed and has not since been repaired. When Stewart was asked bow they could sat isfy English stockholder* for non-pro-duction of ore. he replied that was easily managed, thy could say that the snows of Utah were so deep as to prevent hauling, but the- could make up for lost time during the summer. Park wrote to Anderson, connoted with the company, on the 29 ih of July 1874. after bis return from Salt Like City, that while there he expected to see in the Emma mine large beds of ore and the sight of them went far above his expectations. There was no report concerning the vast products of the mine, but which fell tar short of the truth on such misrepresentations. The stock as a consequence advauced.

Recess. The committee met at 1 P. M., and decided to continue the investigation They have summoned ex-Senator Stewart, who is now in Califorr ia, and T. W. Park, who is in South America. The committee will examine, in a day or two, the testimony of Gen. Schenck, taken in England, concerning his Emma mine connection. The iuvestigaion will be thorough, and full opportunity will bo given to General Schenck and his friends to be heard on the subject.

Washington. Feb. 29.—The President sent the following special message to Congress to-day.

Executive Mansion. 1 Washington, D. C., Feb. 29.

To tbe Senate and House of Representatives: I lay before you herewith a communication from tbe Secretary of the In terior, dated the 26th inst.. upon the subjectof tbe deficiency suoplement for the Red Cloud Agency, Nebraska. This matter has already been presented to you by the Secretary, and the House of Representatives requested an investigation by a military offic er of Lhe cause of this deficiency. have taken tbe proper steps to comply with this request of the House, but the present need of supplies is not disputed, A prolonged delay in furnishing provisions to these Indians will cause ureal distress and be likely to provoke raids on tbe white settlements, and possibly lead to a general outbreak of hostilities. I therefore deem it proper to invite your attention to the importance of early and favorable action upan the estimate.* heretofore and herewith submitted. These estimates and views ol the Secretary meet with my foil concurrence, and I recommend that tbe appropriations asked for be made at the earliest day practicable.

s.

U.

GRANT.

Secretary Chandler in the communication referred to, states the reason for the existing deficiency, which in substance are, flrst tbe diminished appropriation made by Congress last year, and second tbe unusual issue to the Indians visiting tbe agency, and to mt-et the Blaelc Hiil commission In September last. Tbe Secretary says that tbe case has additional urgency from tho fact that over 1,000 members of the Sitting Ball's band, heretofore defiant and.actually hostile, have come into the Red Cloud agency in compliance with the inessagea previously sent to them, and it in important that any measures looking to the disintegration of this heretofore united band and tbe destruction of Sitting Bull's authority should have proper encouragement. In view, also, of tbe probable submission of 8itting Bull's band to tbe Government, wber»- supplies are lacking, Secretary Ch^ndlnr indorses a reconm'®"" datiim to Commissioner Smii b. that an appropriation oj $50 000 be granted in addition to tbe $225,000 already asked for last month.

THEiOLLY AND FUIf OF &L1RD) GRAM.

Grand Carnivals in Memphis, Little Bock, Xew Orleans, Cincinnati!, Louisville aud Wheeling.

Memphis, Tenn. Feb. 29.—During the evening the streets were so densely crowded that it was found almost impossible for the police force to clear them for the pagent of the Ulks and Krewe of Motley. The Pagent of the former represented the return of Louis IX, of France, from tne crusaders. Th« scene being laid at Paris, September 7, 1254 as follows: First group, three mounted heralds, with trumpets at the uiouth, riding abreast. Second group, armed Knigbts being the ori UHmme of France, mounted. Third groupe. Two esquires on foot, bearing au arch-cushion, on which lay the arms of King Louis. Fourth group: Equery leading the King's mailed steed. Fifth. Count de Porters, Count de Anjou, brothers of the King, and Count de Malon, in full armor, riding abreast and bearing royal guidons aud banners and scars across tbe armor. Sixth group: King Louis IX, of France and his Queen Marguerite, ot Province, in royal robes in their carriage of state, drawn by white horses led by Equerries, groom, and footman to the carriage. Seventh group: Three maids to tbe Queen, riding abreast mounted on richiy caparisoned|palfreys led by three pages Eighth group: four pages to the King, mounted and bearing rich colors with many colored pendent streamers, riding abreast armed with shields and battleaxes four men-at-arms, abreast, armed with halbearus: four uien-at-Hr.ns, abreast armed with lances. Tenth group: Cavalier, mounted, bearing the banner of St. Dennis three cavaliers abreast, unted and bearing penons. E eventb group: Tbe Cardiual St. Ct-cil, seated under a bodicine or canopy of rich silk, drawn by four black horses l?d by equerries Twelfth group: Priests on toot bearing tbe grand banner of the virgin, four priebts on leot, abreast, lour cavalier* abreast, four pilgrims with scrip and staff. Thirteenth group: Four Saracons abreast in chains, four Spincers mounted, bearing a lance and pennon, all riding abreast. After this pageant came tbe Krews of Motley, made up of nondescrips with some hiata at current events of tbe period, prominent among which, was the corps of an army officer undergoing cremation from tbe fl :ines of still labelled crooked wbis ky. The crowd on the streets this bfternoon was estimated at about sixty thousand, and during the entire day nothing occurred to mar tbe festivities, But tho crowning glory of tbe carni val was tbe grand ptueant of the Momphi, with its brilliant parte colored tights forming a scene such as was nev er witnessed foro. Alter which, came a series of magnificent tableaux at tne new Memphis theater, consisting of a group of the pageantry, which was fol lowed by a grand ball to the guests of Memphis. Balls were also given at the various halls. The weather was »:lori ous, and the carnival of the centennial wiil not be forgotten by those who witnessed it.

Little Rock, Feb. 29.—Mardi Gras was celedrated hen- in grand style. There were about. 1 000 Masons in the procession, besides numerous floats reprenenting various st-enrs. Tbe number of visitors was largely in ex cess of any attendance of the kind heretofore. Business bouses and the State, county and city departments vere generally closed.

The Platform.

Hertford, Feb. 29.—Mr. Robinson apperaed heforc the convention and declared in favor of the platform as he understood the committee would report it, giving iu detail some of its leading points. The following is the platform adopted:

The Republican party in Connecticut re-affirms its devotion to the union aud the constitution, and its continued faith in the fouudation truths declared by the fathers. It speaks for retrenchment and reform, and for a speedy return from extravagauce to simplicity for tbe untiring pursuit and puuishment of public fraud and crime, wherevei existiug. for tbe perservaiion inviolate of the great lessons of war and for the hearty welcome of all the citizeus of the whole country to our common privileges aud blessings. It honers the unpreteusious fidelity of secretary Bristow and the wholesome activity of Secretary Jewell iu their endeavors to protect the public purse and to punish public criminals, and it gives hearty response to the declaration of the president, "Let no guilty man escape." It charges upon the Democratic majority In the lower house of congress selections for office which are an insult to tbe national honor and displacments which are marked with ingratitude, with subordinating in the days of national welfare of the republic to. party success with applauding upon the floor of the house, the sentiments which are in open defiance of the nation, and insulting to its history with halting upon the great financial question in a time when tbe distress of the people are prostrate, we declare that the commitalofthe national legislation to the Democrats, has been a signal failure and believe that the Republican party is the best hope of the country, as it was the preserver of its honor in war.

Tbi9 safety of the republic depends on tbe intelligence as well as tbe virtue of its citizens, and in order that unity ot nation be presented, and the cost of war be mantained in peace, it is essential that the state schools shall continue to be common schools where every child in the state may re» ceive such education as will fit him to de useful in the community, hab py in bis home, and safely removed from that ignorance which is the mother of crime, aud we are unalterable opposed to auy diversion of public school money for any purpose whatever

The Republican party which issu ed greenbacks under the pressure of a temporary necessity to support the national Government against treason and rebellion, is pledged to make them as good as gold to their holders That no stain may rest in history upon any one or me patriotic people during the war, we approve of the resumption act as a new expression of this pledge and detemination We point to tbe efforts now being made by the Democratic party to repeal the act and commit the country to the permanent use of an irredeemable paper currency as proof of what might be expected of them it they had greater power. We believe that the welfare of the country demands that the necessary legislation be passed to carry tiie resumption into effect at the time specified, either by fundiug the greenbacks into long bonds at lowest practicable interest or by using anv valuable means to apply and cancel them.

We believe in the unwritten law of the land which declares it unwise for tne chief magistrate to hold his of fice beyond two term?, and we accept the declaration of President Grant in harmony with this law as but another claim to our admiration and graii-

A resolution was offered presenting to the Republican national convention the name of Marshall Jewell, as a candidate for president, but after discussion, ih which it was held to be the best to leave the question of presenting any name from tbe convention, for either place on the national ticket, to delegates elected, the resolution was taliled.

The following delegates at large were appointed to the rational Republican convention at Cincinnati: Josepn R. Hawley, Stephen W. Kellogg, J. Seldom and John T. Rockwell.

GENERAL PILLOW.

A Korrowfnl Letter From Ibe Olrt Rebel—He IN Bankrupt and Invalid nnd Oellevci lie lias Litre*! **oo Long:.

Ntw York, March 1.—General Pillow publishes a letter hero to-day. concerning himself and his bankruptcy. He says: "All my long and eventful life I haye stood up with stont heart, and manfully com batted the trials and tried to me«t the duties and responsibilities of life. Chiefes among them, I have held the dutie and responsibilities of a patriot soldier How I have met them, the country knows. I trust I will be pardoned for saying I so loved the National Govern meut, to whose service I had devoted be prime of my life,that I would I had fallen in tbe service and died while was honored with Us confidence and with its commission. Standing as 1 now do, between its aggressive act* and displeasure, and the neglect and ingrattitude ot the people whom I subsequently took up arms to defend, am without hop*- lor the future to be homeless, with my family withou shelter, with gaunt poverty'staring me in the face, at my advanced age, presents a prospcct so gloomy that my heart gives way, and tbe conviction is forced upon me that I have lived too long.
