Wednesday Evening, April 19, 1876.

IN the Catalogue of tho Centennial Nowspaper Exhibition, the TVrre Haute GAZKTTE receives tho patriotic number of 1776!—[Howell's Araerieau Newspaper Reporter.

Patriotism is the strong suit of (ho GAZETTE.

TIIE salary of the President has been reduced to $25,000 per annum. We shall really have to decline taking the race, though we haste to disappoint admiring friends.

THE New York Tribune of Sunday, contained three thousand three hundred and .fifty (3-.350) advertisements covering 73 colurus, The GAZETTE issues no paper on Sunday.

DOM PEDRO ehould visit Terre Haute by all means. He ought to see our Market House and listen to the echo, Wo shall take great pleasure in showing him through the GAZETTE office, nursery and all.

WE sometimes think that the American people will be afflicted this centennial year with a tremendous case of political itch, the inconvenience of which can iu no way be remedied except by prodigious scratching.

THE passage of the bill reducing the salary attaching to the Presidency, from $50,000 to $25,000, which was the old figure has not diminished the anxiety of aspirants to occupy the White House. The hurry and scurry is just as great as ever. In fact, it looks very raucli'aa IT tl»e turmoil had increased of iate.

IF that Lfijerarparty should nominate Adams and Eristow, or Bristow and Adams, 110 matter which, it wouldn't be very much of a joke, we are thinking. With that ticket elected, we should have Carl Schurz for Secretary of State, David A. Wells, for Secretary of the Treasury, Lyman Trumbull for Attorney General, some gentleman without a son John for Secretary of the Interior, a soldier for Secretary of War, a naval officer for Secretary of the Navy, and a genuine attempt to get honest men in office everywhere. ..

P. S. The President's private secretary and intimate confidential thief, would not be a 9afe burglar or a whisky thief.

MRS. STEWART wife of the lately deceased A. T. Stewart has supplemented the generosity cf her husband towards Judge Hilton in a singular and sudden manner. It is fresh in tho public mind that Mr. Stewart made a bequest in his will of $1,000,000 to Judge Hiltox whom he named as his executor. Mre, Stewart has sold lo that gentleman all her interest in the estate of"'^". her husband except the

Crinios and Casualties. MINERS RIOT.

St. Louis, April 18.—Quite a serious riot occurred at Leavenworth, Kansas, yesterday, between a body of strikiug miners and some negroes, who the owner of the mines intended to set to work. Pistols, knives knucks, brickbats, clubs &c., were used and some heads and bones were broken. No fatal casualties arcieported.

WORMS,

Montreal, April 19,—Au order ha3 been given for the extradition of Dr. Wormo, who was found guilty of forgery yesterday.

WHY DID HE DO SO

real

estate in New York City for $1,000.000. The property sold for that sum was worth many times that'amount, so that in this sale she has virtually given him more than her husband did. He will take the place of Mr. Stewart in the dry goods business, the firm name of which will not be changed. Judge Hilton has certainly struck what, might mildly betcalled a "big bonanza."

Conference of Managers.' New York, April 18.— At the conference of th9 Trunk and Western lines, held to-day at .St. Nicholas hotel, at •which the New York Central, Erie Pacific,*-Baltimore & Ohio, Michigan Southern, Michigan Central & Ft. Wayne lines were represented, it was agreed that no ckange should be made in the rates on tho passenger business west or east, or on the west bound freight business or on the live stock or oil business of the Trunk lines, but that the western roads sbonld make the rates on east bound, freights, the eastern roads agreeing to accept the same. This change was necessitated by the New York Central insisting that their connecting lineB out of Chicago and other western points should be left free to meet competition of the Grand Trunk of Canada, on east bound business.

LOUISVILLE, April IS.—The Louisvilla, Paducah and Southwestern railroad, now in the hands of a receiver, has been ordered to be sold by the marshal of the United States court ot this district at a time to be hereafter snecified. -cj, i«- -.

Moody and Sankey.

New York, April 18,—The collections at Moody's attd meetings today and to-night amount to $160,000. Mr. Moody said that if they could collect $200,000, a gentleman had volunteered to subscribe $50,000. It is intended to turn all the money

over to

the Young Men's Christian

Association to pay a debt or $lw,oou on their building, and the other $1W000 is wanted for keeping up revival meeting and buildiug branches of the

St. Louis, April 18.—The GlobeDemocrat's special from Chamois, Mo., says Col. A. A. Spencer was assassinated in the court room at Lenn Creek, last evening, by a stranger, giving the name of Jffl'ries. The only explanation of the affair is, that Jeffries asked Spencer what he had done with his wife and children, and immediately drew a revolver and shot him three times, twice through the head. Jeffries made no attempt to escape, but surrendered himself to the authorities. Col. Spencer is said to be a son of the former Secretary of the Navy, and a brother of Lieut. Spencer, who was hung at the yard arm of the brig Somers for mutiny, many years ago

Political Kotes.

Chicago, April 18.—The city election is progressing queitly. All the banks, wholesale houses, and retail establishments, and the board of trade are closed, and it i3 probabli that a very large vote will be polled

Cairo, Ills,, April IS.—The municipal election passed off quietly poli tics were entirely ignored. Thereturns indicate the election of F. Stockfletb, for treasurer, and J. W Stewart for clerk, by- small majorities.

Chicago, April 18.—To-night the returns which are in from theelestion are only scattering, but enough pre cincts are heard from, however, to indicate .hat the side of decency has prevailed, that what is known as the .bummer element has been worsted and that the common council will be composed largely of good men. Briggs, the Democratic nominee for city treasurer, has probably beaten Clark Lipe, the Jtepublicau candidate The vote "for Hoyne, for mayor, has been tolerably full, though both Republican and Democrat have scattered his name in many precincts.

The Tribune, editorially, to-morrow will annouuee the grounds on which Hoyne bases his claim to the may orality. They are: First, that vacancy existed by the adoption of the new charter, v?hieh provided that the persons then in office should continue to act until the next elec tion. Second, that this vacaucy existing, it was the right cf the people to elect a person to fill that vacancy that the failure of the mayor, the common council, or of all the officers to call such an election, cannot defeat the right of the people to hold one and tltat euoh 1x0 olootion ia na valid as though noticehad been given,and fourth, that the election having been held, 110 refusal by the judges of election to make returns or of the common council to cauvass them, can invalidate it.

New York, April IS.---The National Liberal Republican committee is called to meet in this city, May 8th, to take action in reference to tho national convention, &c.

New Orleans, April 18.—A dispatch from Mr. Geo. Foster, at Vicksburg, s»ys: disastrous breaks occurred Friday, above Bolivar, and at Ben. Lemonds, Miss., and at Bass' levee, below providfhee, will do an immense damage. Gwynne particulars yesterday estimates the damage at a million.

Quincy Ills., April 18.—The Sny levee, south of this city, has broken in three points, and a large portion of the bottom, on the illinois side, is overflowed opposite the Hannibal houses and barnes have floated away, and the damage that has been done caDnot be estimated. The entire population of the bottoms have fled to the biuffs, iu many cases leaving everything behind them* Meetings have been called at Hannibal to assist the uilfortonates. Much suffering is sure to follow this great calamity. The river here declined one inCh this aft«rnoon, and it is believed that the worst Is ver.

Bogus Bonds.

Philadelphia, April IS.—The inquiry into the affairs of the navy yards here is still being conducted hy the snbscommitfee from Washington. The investigation is wholly secret, and no hint as to its drift or probable result can be obtained.

In the court of quarter sessions, Judge Mitchell, presiding, the trial of Robert H. Batcbelor, Peter Burns, alias Geo. H. Davis, and Joseph A. Calvert, has been commenced on a charge of conspiracy, for making and uttering fraudulent. U. 8. bonds and bonds of ithe Chicago & Northwestern Railroad Co., saie bonds being fictitious assets of the Safeguard Insurance company, uttered for the purpose of leading Insurance Commissioner Foster to believe that the said company "was doing business on a genuine capital, whereas the allegation is that the company and bonds were alike bogus.

Marine.

Hull, April 15.—The loss of victory from Shields to San Francisco, appears to be beyond doubt. She had besides Captain Joues, whose body was found yesterday, twenty-five hands and the pilot, all of whom were undoubtedly drowned.

Memphis, April 18. The steamer Osceola Belle ran into the woods near Bradley's landing last night and is stuck fast in the timber. The City of Vicks'ourg tried 0 pull her out, but failed. The Yeager broke a shaft below Friar's point and tied up to wait for a new one. .1

A delegation of merchants froinTittsburg, Titusville, Cleveland and Cincinnati, appeared before the House Committee on Commerce to-day, favor of tho bill to regulate commerce and to prohibit unjust discriminations by common carriers. Patterson, of Titusville, and Hostetter and DuS, of Pittsburg, made arguments, and after a full discussion the committe entertained the proposition 10 investigate the whole subject, and call belore them witnesses aud documents.

The silver bill, as reported from the Senate Finance Committee, allows holders of bullion to exchange it at market value lor tho new dollars, at their face value, or lor United States notes at par. Tho proposed limitation of silver dollars to fifty millions, has not yet been incorporated iu the bill, but the bill is still subject to change in the committee.

Secretary Bristow tbis afternoon issued the following instructions con cerning the issue of silver ooiu in the place of Iractional currency:

TRKASURY DEPARTMENT, 1 Washington, D. C., April 18. By virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Treasury by the second section of an act entitled "An act to provide for tho deficiency in the printing and engraving bureau of the Treasury Department. and for the issue of silver coin of the United States, in the place of fractional currency," and approved April 17,1876 the several officers below named are hereby author ized upon presentation at their respec tive offices lor redemption of fractional currency of the United States in sums of ?5, or multiples thereof, assorted by denominations, and in amount not to exceed §100, to issue therefore a like amount of silver coin of the United States ol tho denomination of 10, 20, 25, and 50 cents, and furthermore upon tho presentation, for redemption, at ibo office of the treasury of the United States, in this"city, ui any—rtrmrrnrv—vr such currency, properly assorted, and in sums of not less than five dollars the treasurer is authorized to issue sil ver coin therefor, to the amoant of the currency, presented, or he may give his chanlc tnprefor payable in silver at either of tbe offices hereinafter named, at the option of the party presenting the currency. As far as may bo practicable from time to time, the fractional currency redeemed in silver under these instructions, by assistant treasurers, or designated depositors of the United States, will be sent in sums of $1,000, or multiples thereof, to the treasurer of this city, the amount to be charged in the treasurer's general coin account, as a transfer of funds, and any amount of such currency, lor which silver has been paid, remaining at any time in cash. In the several offices will be treated as coin assets, and in no case will such fractional currency be re-Issued.

C-, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Chicago, San Francisco, aud Baltimore. The United States depositories at Buffalo and Pittsburg. [Signed,] B. H. BRISTOW, Sec'y. fhe Senate Finance Committee' received from Commissioner Pratt a letter in response to the inquiry as to tho propriety and expendiency of abolishing the office of supervisor of internal revenue.

The commissioner writes if the same power to administer oaths, examine books and papers, and compel the giving of testimony, be conferred upon the revenue agents, to be exercised under the direction of the commissioner of internal revenue, the office of supervin sor may be abolished without loss to the service, and with considerable saving to the treasury. He recomends that this be done, and in the course of his commuuication states that dur* ing tbe last fiscal year the amount al« lowed for salaries and expenses of ten supervisors was an average of §13,375 each.

General Custer appeared before the house committee"bn military affairs today, in relation to tbe charge against General Merril of receiving five hundred dollars as a bribe. General Custer testified that all the information he possessed on tho subject was contained in a private letter to himself, the author of which he did not wish to disclose:

The President returned to the senate this P. M. the bill which provides for reducing the salary of the president to £25,000 per anuum from and after March 4t.li, next, with a message stating his reasons for not approving it. The message was not, however, read today.

Crop Prospects.

Toledo, Ohio, April 18—The Blade publishes this P. M„ comprehensive crop reports from over 200 points in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois. Th6se indicate that the prospect of wheat in the principal wheat producing regions of theso States aro unusually good. In southern and central Michigan the farmers aro sanguine of hAvina lv»fct«r eropa than for yoftrs, 'The saine is true of the tjreat wheat fields of western and southern Illinois and northern Missouri. In the rich, new lands of northwestern Ohio, prospects are not so good. Much of the wheat has been drowned out by central Indiana and central Illinois, and a very great deal has been winter-killed and many fields ploughed up. A half crop is all that the farmers hope lor. There will be a largo quantity of Bpring wheat sown tbis year and the average planted in corn and oats will probably be greater than ever. There is a disposition among the Michigan farmers to plant large vuantities of oats. Fruit everywhere is reported as looking unusually well, and in each locality there seems hope for even a moderate crop of peaches. Wet weather has greatly retarded spring plowing, but in many localities the farmers took advantage of the mild weather during tho winter to do a good deal of breaking up in the fields. A

Labor Troubles.

Cincinnati, April 18.—Tho GAZETTE'S Charleston, West Virginia, special says that the workmen employed on the government locks, in tbe Kanawha river at Brownstown, West Virginia struck for higher wages some two weeks Hgo. The contractors then brought fifty negroes from Richmond, and on their arrival this evening, they wore met by about two hundred white men, who insisted upon their roturn. The latest report Jrom Brownstown says that tho negroes are in'the'contractor's office, and that tbe whites have sent runners into the surrounding country for tne purpose of collect* ing a mob. Trouble is feared to-night uuless the negroes are sent east. Brawnsrown is situated ten miles above Charleston.

NOTE—The ligures in the left hand column is an itemized statement of tbe various receipts and disbursements, showing from what source received and for what purposes paid out. Those in the right hand column show the total of each kind of receipt and disbursement. You will see that tht item of "Interest on bonds issued to the E.'T. H. & C. R. R. Co.," amounts to §7,447 02, wh'ch is §447 02 more than a year's interest on the whole issue. The last regular installment of interest on theso bonds was paid January 1st, 1876, since which time I have purchased §39,000 of them, and paid the interest that had accrued at date of purchase. In tha statement of assets and liabilities, I report the railroad stock at the face value. The market value, if any, is not known.
