plea was a sham and a cheat. He admits his participation in that gigantic raid on the National Treasury, known as the salary grab, which consigned to early and riled graves a large number of Con-

nu'r gres-men at him. or to impugn this article was begun. No more do intend to make capital out of his rtdicu lous blunder in tha veto message, where in lie speaks of the President's salary having been fixed by the constitution.

There is ground sufficient for argu ment upon the plain proposition he lay down that $25,0 is not sufficient to sup port a President.

President Grant had passed the merid an of life when the war ol the rcbellio began.and we very seriously question if, during all that prior period of his life his gross earnings had amounted to as much as $2^,000 v.-liich he now speaks of as sufficient to sustain him for a sinsrle year.

We understand perfectly well that it is more expensive living in Washington than it is in Galena, but we also wish him to understand that it is our wish to have some of the simplicity of Galena carried to Washington to modify the cost of living there.

We do not pay our presidents as kings are paid because, in the first, place, the kings establish their own incomes without consulting their subjects, an un-rc-publican style of proceedure not indiginous to this soil—aud second, because we wish our presidents to live as unlike kings as possible. The time has passed, or rather never has come to this country, when the chosen ruler of fifty millions of people can forget the origin of his power, anil scorning the people and the compari•tiwlv humble mode of life of the mass, seek to imitate the ostentation and the pomp of foreign potentates, or be bullved into living beyond his means by the example of stichv represenative? as they may send to our shores.

per year, Ulysses Grant was not altogether lacking in a desire to secure the election to that inadequately paid office.

It has been hinted that he will leave the presidency a yvealthy man, and yet we know that he was as poor as a church mouse when he enlisted in the army, and the highest salaiy he has ever received since has bien that attached to the presidency, and for four vears that yvas fixed at the contemptible sum of $25,000.

The president might re-read his veto message with profit, and it is to be hoped that some friend, if any remain to him, yrill whisper in his ear, yvhile so engaged, iat the peaple can distinguish between gold and glitter, tmd that yvhile they find much to admire in the gallant officer yvho yvas willing to bleed for his country, it is only the memory of the past that restrains them from despising a purse-proud president, whose only ambition seems to be to bleed his country.

THE Sullivan Democrat suggests the na lie of Henry K. Wilson as the man to nominate in the second district as the successor in congress to "Jim''—"old :ans" Williams, yvho has been invited by th_• people to go up higher. It~isoutof ou district, and therefore, to a certain extent, none of our business. Nevertheless th- GAZETTE can not refrain from yvarmly seconding the suggestion of" our Sulliffiwj a vote in that district, yve have some ••'ce, and it is certainly a matter of no in :o:iside ib:e interest to every Indianian yvh it kind of congressman represent the S ate in the national legislature.

As the Democrat truly says, Mr. Wilsan is very much such a man as the person whose successor it is proposed to ma' him. Clear headed, possessed of" a so ind. judgment, royally endowed yvith ha.-d. common sense, and honest after thsit! old fashion when men thought it dishonorable to steal, Mr. Wilson, is just the type of man yve want in congress. He is, moreover, simple in his tastes and habit- is accustomed to walk, never spent a week, all told, at a watering place, earned every dollar of the ample competence he now possesses, and therefore knows thi value of money, and is, all in all, just such an old gentleman as ambitious youth may take for a model. Mr. Wil)n is, moreover, a good speaker, and a nply able to give clear and forcible expression to his convictions, without being troubled with that fatal "gift of gab,'' yvhich makes its possessor unhappy unless he is forfeyrer speaking. Wrilson is the man. j33

THE INDEPENDENT GBEEXBACKERS. The ',Independent Greenbackers" of Indiana yvill hold a state convention at Indianapolis on the day before the meeting of the National convention of that body in the Capitol city. It in the purpose of the gathering to select a candidate for Governor vice Landers yvho sold them out finding them incapable of raking the chestnuts out of the fire for him.

Rumor has it that the National convention yvill probably select Rise-up-Will-iam Allen as its presidential candidate A motive for his nomination is to be found in a vague hope that their nomination of him yvill force his name through the Democratic convention at St. Louis. If Mr. Allen has any hopes for the St. Louis nomination, or has any true and warm friends, they yvill keep his name out of the hands of this longhaired croyvd of reformers. It yvill kill him as dead as a door nail to be favorably spoken ot at this Indiadapolis pow-yvoyv. This advice is gratuitous.

Since the president has invited criticism yve would suggest that his daugli ter's wedding presents, given by himself were not of that charactcr peculiarly indicative of a president who had found his salary altogether inadequate to pay his expenses.

TIIE Chicago Post and Mail of yesterday afternoon publishes a despatch from Elihu B.

In view of the fact that the Democratic State ticket of Illinois will be elected by a good round majority, we are constrained to ejaculate "wise Washbarn."

Do not forget that the City Council is a more important body to Terre llaute than the Congress of the United States. The former handles more of our money than the latter.

THE PROBLEM OF THE HOUSE.

A Citizen Proposes a plan for a Gradual Return to Specie Payments.

To the Kditors of Tho Evening Gazette: .' The financial question is now the great problem in American politics. Nearly every public man has his pet theories on the question, and yvhile some are in favor of specie resumption, others are equally positive that the greenback is the groat healer of our troubles. Both parties advance sirong arguments in favor of their pet theories.

It is proposed bv many to retire the national bank currency and issue greenbacks in their stead. This yvould be very yvell, if it could be done without depreciating the value of the greebadk dollar, and if that course should be persued it is evident that such a depreciation yvould take place. With regard to the resumption law of".

1S79,

yvhich has

already been proven a total failure, as no provision has been made yvhich are practical for such a course. It is now proposed in this article to show how the Government can finally arrive at specie resumption yvithout disastrous results to the business interests of the country.

In the first place the financial problem must be settled for at least fifty years, by having a final settled plan of paying our debts as folloyvs:

It is stated that all the gold can be secured that is desirable for four and one half to five per cent, gold bonds. Let enough of these bonds be issued ancl gold secured to vay off the bonds now held by national banks, that are deposited to secure circulation, and retire the national bank currency, issuing an equal amount of greenbacks to take the place ot national bank notes, and in order to make the greenbacks valuable, a layv miist be passed and provision made for their final redemption in gold coin, jjay^every ten years, a certain series of numbers shall be redeemed, having the,last redemption of. greenbacks in fift^years frpm the.pasbank currency five Jfears should be given so that the treasury*of the United States would have jmiple time to secure the gold for the payment of each bank's bonds when J-hey are given notice to pass in^their national bank notes. This plan yvould at once put gold into circulation. a^'each bank yvould receive the coin for tlielr bonds, and it certainly looks reasonable that this course yvould make the greenback dollar almost equal if not ..quite on a par yvith gold,and many of the "banks in receiving the pay for their bonds yvould take greenbacks at a light discount. Only let it be known that they can have the gold if" desired. People don't yvant the gold they only want to knoyy that it can be had.

The greenback currency yvould give the people a desirable medium of exchange and as it has in the past so it yvould in the future serve the people faithfully. By adopting this final Settled plan, it yvould give neyv life to every industry, as capitalists then would not look for a change in the finances ever new congress or administration. But the qustion yvould be settled and all yvould be quite sure to remain the same. II.

The partj- passed through Oakland yvitoout attracting attention, crossed the bay, and arriving at the wharf, took carriages to the Palace Hotel, yvhere they entered yvithout half a dozen people knoyving they had arrived. On the arrival of the regular train at Oakland, a great croyvd yvas in attendance, yvith bands playing and colors flying, yvhile Dom Pedro yvas already ensconced in apartments at the Palace. Seats have been engaged by telegraph for the party at the Mechanics pavillion to-night to hear Gilmore's orchestra. On arrival of the train at Sacremento, Dom Pedro and party hastily examined the yvorkshops of the Central Pacific, expressing regret at the briefness of the inspection.

Washington. April 25.—On reassembling the committee decided to require an answeV. Mr. Akcrman then put in his protest on the ground that it was both illegal and prohibited by statute that such communications yvith the executive should be inadmissible. He then testified to conversations, similar to those narrated by ex-Attorney General Williams, yvith the president.

Akerman stated that some time in

Mr. Cushing was paid for his services out of yvhat was called the judiciary fund. The yvith ess never thought the President yvas influenced in his action by any partisan motive, lie wanted to prevent frauds and he did not care yvhat party they affected: he could not recollect that any portion of this monev was used to detect frauds in Philadelphia. The latter yvas a Republican city,, and New York yvas Democratic, but that did not influence the President in his action. Ihe frauds in New York seemed to be systematic. That yvas the field of the Democrats operations, and the President yvas of the opinion that if his system could be of advantage there, it yvould be elsewhere. The President never, for a moment, thought he was acting in a partisan manner. Adjourned.

yvhile the president yvas at Long Branch, and he (Akerman) yvas in Washington, he received a letter, yvritten by General Porter, in accordance yvith the direction of the president, stating that a Mr. Davenport yvas engaged in searching out frauds against naturalization and registration in Neyv York, and suggesting- to him (Akerman) that lie Cv, :..l usefully employ a portion of the money given to hinibv congress to suppress election frauds in these New ork cases Witness yvas at that time engaged in the investigation of the Kuklux affairs in the south, and he replied to the president's suggestion that lie had already appropriated his monev in that direction. He yvas told in a subsequent communication from the president that the funds could be used yvith as great advantage in New York city as in the south. Attei a full explanation, he authorized the payment to Davenport. These conversations with the president extended through the fall of 1870 and the spring of 1S71. Ihe frauds in elections yvere matters ot frequent consultation, and the witness recommended the employment of special counsel, and among others yvho yvere employed in New York cases yvas Caleb Cushing. lie could not state any specific case in yvhich frauds were committed, but he knew they yyere general.

Moulton, in on open letter to llenry Ward Beecher, says: "I yvill so amend my complaint that the |issue shall be, if it is not so offered noyv, that by your perjury you caused me to be indicted for libel, for saying you yvere an adulterer, you then yvell knoyving that yvhat I said was true." Moulton offers to submit this issue to the jury summoned in an ordinary mode, or by ex-President Woolsey, of Yale college, or by Deacon George C. Robinson, of Plymouth church, or by jury, half selected by Thomas G. Sherman and Edyvard K. Beecher, and the other half by himself, a verdict of the majority to be accepted as the final decision.

An Operatic Festival for the Benefit of New York Harbor,

Paris April 2 v.—A grand operatic festival organiz&d by tha Franco American union, to raise funds for tne erection of a statue of liberty in Neyv York harbor, yvas held to-night. The exterior and starre of the bpera house yvere decorated with American flags. The audience yvas a brilliant one, consisting of many distinguished persons. Among those presentwere Minister Washburne and all the members of his legation, ex-President Thiers,- M. M. -Waddington, Oscar De Lafavette, Rochanbeau and De Tocquevi'lle. The Americnn colony was verv ,/s- fully represented. The opera-' company and orchestra executed several selections. Eight thousand singers from the various Orpheon societies joined in performance of a cantata entitled "Liberty Enlightening the world," dedicated to tke peopleof the

United States, and composed especially for the occasion by Charles Gounod. The work yvas rendered yvith great spirit, and received yvith immense applaus. Several patriotic songs yvere sung and the audience yvos most enthusiastic*

M. Laboulav delivered an eloquent address. He described the position of France and America in 1776. and revieyved the events leading to the revolution. He said the proclamation of American independence yvas the introduction ol a free republican government in the modern world, lie pointed out the part taken by the French nobility in the achievement of American liberty, and concluded as follows: "The proposed movement symbolizes American freedom yvhich bears peace and enlightenment everyyvhere. It will be an eternal monument of the friendship of I* ranee and America, ever recalling the united names of \\Tashington and Lafayette, and the union of two peoples yvho formerly united to found independence and now unite to cement fraternity."

The proceedings terminated yvith the singing of "Hail Columbia."

MR. LOVELL'S HORSE.

A Curious Case of Animal Eccentricity.

Horse With All the Diseases Laid Down in the Books.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin. Mr. Lovell sends the folloyving narrative to us for publication. We do not vouch for its truth, but Mr. Lovell's address yvill be furnished to any reader who wishes to put him under oath:

Last summer I bought a horse. He yvas warranted sound and kind in harness, but I discovered that it yvas a very p(Xr kind. He had an rresistible propensity to back. He seemed to be impressed yvith a conviction that natuie had put his hind legs in front, and that he could see yvith his tail, and whenever I attempted to start him he alyvays pioceeded stern foremost, until 1 yy hipped him savagely, and then he yvould go in a proper manner, but suddenly, and y\ itli the air of a horse yvho had a conviction that there yvas a lunatic in the carriage who.didn't knoAv what he yvas about. One day, yvhile yve yvere comiug down street, this theory became so strong that he suddenly stoopped and backed the carriage through the plate-glass windoyv of Mackev4s drug-store. After that I ahvays hitched him up yvith his head toyvard the carriage, and then he seemed to feel better contented, only sometimes he became too sociable, and used to put his head over the dasher and try to chew mv legs or to eat up the lap-cover tn^et?jf}fi^nitfecM^u^%np're^e^C1"%?riar(c yvhen I drove out, and yvhen I yvanted to stop, and would hitch him by the tail to a pos:t, he had a very disagreeable yvay of reahing out yvith his hind legs, and syveeping the sideyvalk whenever he sayv anybody that hc felt as if he yvould like to kick. lie yvas not inucliofa saddle horse not that he yvould attempt to throw his, rider, but whenever a saddle yvas put on him it made his back itch, and he yvould always insist upon rubbing it against the first tree or fence or corner of a house thet he came to, and if he could bark the rider's leg he seemed to be better contented. The last time I rode him yvas upon the day of xVleck Bunger's wedding. I had on my best suit, and on the yvav to the festival there yvas a creek to be forded. When the horse got into the middle of it he took a drink, and then looked around at the scenery. Then he took another drink, and gazed again at the prospect. Then he suddenly felt tired, and lay doyvn in the yvater. By the time he yvas sufficiently rested I yvas ready to go home

The next day he yvas taken sick. My hired man said it yvas the epizooty, and he mixed him up some turpentine in a bucket of yvarm feed. That night the horse had spasms, and kicked four of the best boards out of the side of the stable. Jones said that horse hadn't the epizooty, but the botts, and that the turpentine ought to hav*e been rubbed

of him, instead of going into his stomach. So yve rubbed him yvith turpentine, and next morning he hadn't a hair on his body.

Col. Smith told me that if I yvanted to know yvhat really ailed that horse, he •would tell me. It yvas glanders, and if he wasn't bled he yvould die. So the Colonel bled him for me. Wre took ayvay a tubful, and the horse thinned down so that his ribs made him look as if he had svvalloyved a hoop skirt. It made him look hungry, too, for that night he ate the feed-box, a breeching-strap, and two trace-chains.

Then I sent for the horse doctor, and he said there yvas nothing the matter yvith the horse but heaves, and he left some medicine "to patch up his wind." The result yvas that the horse coughed for two days as if lie had gone into a galloping consumption, and between two of the coughs he kicked the hired man through the partition, and bit our black-and-tan terrier in hal f.

I thought perhaps a little exercise might improve his health, so I drove him out one day, and he proceeded in such a peculiar manner mat I was afraid that he might suddenly come apart and fall to pieces. When yve reached the top of the White House hill,' yvhich is very steep by the side of the road, he stopped, gave a' sort of shudder, "coughed a couple of times, kicked a fly oft* his near shoulder yvith his hind leg, and then laid doyvn and ealmly rolled over the bank. I got out ot the carriage before he fell, and I watched him pitch clear down to the valley beneath, yvith the vehicle dragging after him, When yve got to him he was .dead, and the man at the farm-house close by said liA-biid the blind staggers.
