SUPPOSE we try the effect of a Democratic Council.

A FULL vote should be polled in wards to-morrow.

'•JUDGE C. Y. PATTERSON" the notorious bullionist of Terre Haute" is the way the Brazil Miner speaks of our townsman. "Notorious bullionist" is good.

LUTHER IIAGER, candidate for Council in the Second Ward rides in a buckboard. Is he not, therefore, a bloated aristocrat? That is the question.

WHAT we want our city fathers to do is to practice the most rigid economy. The people everywhere are cutting down expenses. Our city should do the same.

TIIE GAZETTE has forty affidavits showing that Ed Vandevere on one oc-, casion, when a drunken prisoner hit him used the word "'dam." Can such things be without imperilling the principles for which our fathers fought and bled?

AETER a while we shall establish the stradard of morals for policemen so high that none but editors can become policemen. With all tlie editors turned policemen, what would the crowned heads of Europe do for advice as to how to run their Governments

THE GAZETTE is reliably informed that Dr. Robert Van Yalzah, candidate for Councilman from Second Ward smokes cigars, some times paying as high as ten cents apiece for them. It remains to be seen whether the people will encourage such habits of wasteful extravagance. IIow do the people know but that a man with such notions of luxury will squander the public funds buying etools for our sculptors at tlie city stone pile to sit on?

THE CITY ELECTION. At the city election to-morrow no sharply defined issue as to the management of municipal affairs is presented.

An almost universal feeling in favor of the most rigid economy pervades the people. That this feeling will be respected by the councilmen elected to-mor.-o\V:

Whoever they may wo ovory

reason to believe. They are all citizens and tax-payers. and do not cease to be either when they are elected to the Council. At present they share the feeling existent among the people for cutting down all expenses to the lowest possible limit, for incurring no new debts and for paying off those we alreadv have. However the election may go, we think- the prospect of the people being well served is reasonably good. We should counsel the election of the solid Democratic ticket for the following reasons: (i) The candidates on the Democratic ticket arc all good men, known to be such. 2. The triumph of Democracy in the municipal election will have an important bearing on the State and national election next fall. It will be a rebuke lo Grantism in national politics. There is certainly a deep seated disgust in every American's breast at the high-handed outrages perpetrated by the Republican party in the administration cf national affairs.

Ancient Newspapers. At the coming Centennial Newspaper Exhibition at Philadelphia, it has been decided to display copies of antique journals, and other curiosities of newspaper literature. To this interesting collection all persons having ancient, antique or curious specimens, are invited to contribute and should the response be as hearty and general as we hope to find it, this gathering of time-worn publications will prove to be not only a leading trait of the newspaper department, but one of the ancient attractions of the exhibition as a whole. All having the ability and the will to aid in the project should transmit *h«-ir consignments without delay to the Phila lelpeia office of the Newspaper Exhibition, Ledger LSuikling, no South Sixth street, Philadelphia. Whilst on view, these exhibits will have attached to them labels designating by whom they are contributed, and all consistant care will be taken to preserve them from damage, After the close of tlie Exhibition they will be again at the service of their owners, or, in the absence of different instructions, will be mnsferred to some historical society or museum.

During the late war there were many newspapers issued which illustrated the traits in which their publishers found hemselves. Pink, blue, and yellow dieets, wrapping paper, and many other substitutes were pressed into the service' Specimens of these now possess a curious interest.

The advantages to the public of such a gathering are manifest to a degree which renders elucidation unnecessary, and the opportunity to do a very useful act is placed within easy reach. A single copy of some senile broadsheet may not be of much worth to. its proprietor, yet in conjunction with others it will make up a worthy collection. Many peopie there are who, having preserved such curiosities for years, can turn them to little or no-practical account, and it is not too much to hope that the response given by such will be ready and general. With•ut.loss to themselves, tney can material.v benefit visitors to tlie Great Centennial Exhibition and appreciably advance •'patriotic moveme^t^.,,^,-., ,,,

Alleged Misapplication of Ty Hundred ana Fifty Thousand Dollars.

Special Dispatch to the New lork World. Washington, April. 28.—Several days ago a

correspondent

of The \V orld was

informed that there were important documents in the Second Comptroller's Office of the Treasury, which would reveal another

Republican Presidential candi

date. Senator Morton, in an unpromising li*ht. The correspondence, whatever it might be, was between Morton and one of the State agents in Indiana during the war and is on file in the department.

The, facts of tne case, as alleged, are these, In the Thirty-seventh Congress an act making an appropriation to pay the expenses of transporting and delivering arms and munitions of war to the loyal citizens of the States of which the inhabitants now arc or hereafter may be, in rebellion against tlie Government of the United States, and. to provide for the expense of organizing them into companies, battalions, regiments or otherwise, for their own protection against violence, insurrection, invasion or rebellion, was passed July 31, 1S61. Two million dollars were appropriated under this act. It will be observed that the title is very loosely drawn, and is susceptible of various ^constructions. Among the list of war expenditures in connection with the above is this :temi "For supplying, transportation and delivery of arms and munitions of war in States in rebellion against the Government of the United States, O. P. Morton, Governor of Indiana, $250, 000." Indiana was never in rebellion against the Government of the United States, and it was a query why Morton should have had $250000 when there was nopurpose under the statute making the appropriation for which the money could have been legally expended.

It was brought to the attention of the correspondent that in the Indiana Legislature of 1S61 some difficulty had occurred between the Democrats and Republicans. The two parties were a tie in the Senate and the Democrats had a majority in the House. The Republican Senators broke the quorum to prevent some party legislation, and the time of the session slipped by until compelled to adjourn without the transaction of anv business. No appropriations were made, not even for the expenses of running the State Government. Everything seemed to be in danger of coming to a stand still in Indiana, when Morton made a trip to Washington, and upon his return to Indianapolis he opened the Paymaster's office and began to pay the expenses of the State Govarnment, No one except Morton's bosom friends knew where he got the money but very few know to this day. The proper way to have obtained money to run the state machinery would have been to convene the Legislature for the purpose of passing Appropriation bills. This the Radical Morton would not do, as the Legislature was Democratic. That Morton obtained his money from the $2,000, 000 appropriation above referred to is certain that he misapplied $250,000 the correspondence in the trearury departmedt will show. Three unsuccessful attempts have been made by members of Congress to obtain this correspondence. Secretary Bristow, perhaps with a desire to avoid doing anything that would injure a candidate in the Presidential race, for which he is an aspirant, seems to be unwilling that it should be made public. Upon the first request for the correspondence, Mr. Bristow signified a wish that Mr. Morton should know what was coming before any steps were taken in the case. The member prosecuting the search acquesced and was soon interviewed by Morton, who was considerably excited demanded to know if a public investigation into the affair had been made, and said he should summon witnesses from Indiana to testifv in-.b» -i—i-xo ukt toJcg^apn Tor a man by the name ot Sturm, who arrived in this city to-day. Sturm was arsenal agent in the State during the war. Another attempt to obtain or at least examine the correspondence pertaining to the case will be on Monday, and Secretary will do well to open every avenue that can place light on the transaction. It will be investigated by Mr. Glover's committee on the real-estate pool.

RAID ONTHE'MAILBAGS.

Grand Foray of Illinois Thieves on Love-letters and Patent Office Reports.

By Telegraph to the Sentinel. Champaign, 111.. April 28.—Some unknown thieves robbed the United States mail here last night. They broke into the baggage room of the T., W. & W. railroad, and carried off the contents of a large mail bag from the south, destined for Quincy. The mail has been found. There is no trace of the thieves. They were probably alarmed, as the other mail bags were not cut. The tools were taken from the repair shop and the office of the Farmers' Shipping Association entered, but they failed to get into the large safe.

CONFLAGRATION IN PERU.

The Cabinet Makers' Union Buildings go up in Flames and Smoke with Partial

By Telegraph to the Ind. Sentinel. Peru, Ind., April 29.—The extensive buildings and machinery of the Cabinet Makers' Union of this place were totally destroyed by fire this morning. The loss is large, with only a partial insurance.

Monroe County Democrats, By Telegraph to the Ind. Sentinel. Bloomington, April 29.—The Democratic county convention met here to-day and made the following nominations: Senator for Monroe and Lawrence counties, John W. Buskirk representative, C. F. McNutt treasurer, Richard II. Gentry sheriff, James M. Sare. The convention was the largest and most enthusiastic of any which has met here for years. A number of stirring addresses were made, and such a timfc as foreshadows beyond a doubt the election of the entire ticket in October.

Montgomery County Democrats. [Bv Telegraph to the Indianapolis Sentinel.]

Crawfordsville, Ind, April 29.—The Montgomery County Democratic Nominating Convention met in this city to-day The Hon. Harris Reynolds presided. The utmost harmony prevailed, notwithstandthe clase competition between some of the candidates. Silas Peterson, for senator and Henry C. Hulett, for representative, were nominatee—the strongest ticket ever presented in Montgomery county. A resolution indorsing the state platform was adopted.

Jail Delivery.

Chicago, April 30.—Fourteen "prisoners escaped from jail. this morning, with the aid of two prisoners who were being incarcerated, and who, after throttling the deputy in charge, unlocked the cells and turned the others out. This happened at about seven o'clock, andup'to a late hour to-night, but one is known to have been captured. The escaped men were in for burglary,.larcenary and. arso n.

CHARtES O COMNER.

A Committee of the New York Bar "Investigating the .Charges Against the^

Great Advocate,

Mrs. Forrest Declares that these Charges have been made ithout her Consent,

Mr. O'Conner's Statement.

New York, April 29.—The tribunal appointed by a committee of the bar association to investigate the charges made against Charles O'Conor, in connection with Mrs. Forrest, met to-day. ExGov. Dix presided. .Mr. O'Conor presented a letter received last evening from Mrs. Sinclair. In it Mrs. Sinclair states that she now, as well as before, has the same feelings of gratitude and reaffirmed her assertion that the article had been published without her consent and against her wishes, and after a solemn promise had been given that it should not be, Mrs. Sinclair also says she has never made any charges against Mr. O'Conor, and had no intention of doing so.

Mr. Scaley, brother-in-law of Mrs. Sinclair, read a protest against the composition of the committee, in whose organization only one of the parties to the controversy has a voice.

Mr. O'Conor said he did not intend to notice Sedley's protest, but had come prepared to verify each and every statement contained in his memorial to.the bar association. In relation to the allegation that he had charged Mrs. Sinclair exhorbitantly, he said this was not so. The whole amount charged and obtained by him during nineteen years from the lady! was about $13,000. O'Conor then made a statement showing how all the money had been disbursed, and said that the charge that it was understood he was to conduct Mrs. Sinclair's case for nothing, or that it been attempted to give her such impression, was absolutely false.

After the introduction of a few witnesses for O'Conor, he handed to the chairman papers connected with the case, and left the matter in their hands, to abide bv their decision.

What Makes the Depreciation. II. V. Iledlleld in Cincinnati Commercial.

Did you ever notice how enormously property in some of the Northern States was enhanced in supposed value from 1S60 to 1S70? This unhealthy increase in wealth—too unhealthy to be substantial—was caused by the immense volume of paper money injected into the veins of trade. Everything was swelled beyond its natural size, and the panic of 1873 and its after effects are only agents in bringing the patient back to a healthy basis. The process is painful, but must be borne, for no man ever had wit enough to cheat nature out of anything.

For instance, we hear a great deal about the depreciation of real estate in New York how it is from twenty to forty per cent, lower than four years ago. Men shake their heads dismally and say the country is going to the bad when property in its chief city sinks so rapidly, but instead of really depreciating, some of the false value is being knocked oft, and property accommodates itself to the healthy basis towards which everything now tends.

I wish to call your attention to some startling figures which indicate precisely what is the matter, and tell of the terrible evils of an inflaten currency.

The wealth of the State of New York, real and personal.was returned in the census of 1S50 at $1,080,309,216. Very well. That is no doubt just about what it was, for business matters were on a healthy basis about that time. Ten years after, in 1S60, the census report showed it to heve increased to $1,843,338,517, a gain of seven hundred and sixty-three millions of dollars in ten years, a remarkable healthy growth to be sure, bnt not unreasonable.

From i860 to 1S70 was the paper money period. Not withstanding five thousands of millions of dollars of property

was

lost in.waste of warT~of... w'hich .a share fell upon New York—for the loss of war falls on all those engaged in it, whether victors or vanquished—notwithstanding the enormous drain to supply the waste of war the property in the state of New York increased to $6,50b,841,264. Think of that!'Within $600,000,000 of as much as the whole United States was worth in 1S50. Here is an increase from 1869 to iS7oof J$4,657,0x7x0, notwithstanding the waste of war, when the increase from 1S50 to i860, a time of prosperous peace was, but $763,000,000. In other words the increase in the war and paper money period was about six times faster than for the period of peace and hard money, and a generally healthy business between 1850 and 1S60

Study these^words well, please. They will repay you. You will no longer wonder that property "depreciates" in NewYork and elsewhere. It is merely settling back where it belongs, that is all. I give the real figures, and leave it to any candid man if he believes the real increase in wealth in New York was six or seven times greater for the ten years ending 1S70, than it was for the ten years ending i860. The idea thaa the net increase in wealth in ten years in one state should be more than one-half as much as the whole United States was worth in 1S50, is simply preposterous. And that, too, during the period of. a gigantic civil war, when over five thousands millions of dollars of property was destroyed—as utterly wiped out as if that amount of gold had been sunk in a bottomless sea.

Pennsylvania is another example of the beauties of inflation, and over-valuation, which is sureiy followed by the so-called depreciation, though realty it is only the settling back of property where it belongs. The increase of wealth in that State from 1850 to 1S60 was $694,000,000. From 1S60 to 1870 it was $2,391,000,000, or more than three times as much, and that, too, embracing a period of war when five thousand millions of dollars' worth of property was wasted and destroyed

Is it possible to increase in wealth at such a tremendous ratio, and at the same time conduct a wasteful war

The simple truth is the balloon of inflation and speculation and fancy prices has been pricked, and things are" merely settling back to a healthy "bottom." The people of the United States are not worth as much as they thought they were. The wealth of the country as it will show in the census of 1SS0, will be less than it was reported in 1S70. Ten years will not suffice to repair the waste of war and the greater waste occasioned by an immense an irredeemable volume of paper currency. We have been on a spree and are sobering off. The process is painful, but there is no escaping. We are not as rich as we were, but we, know a great deal more. We have learned that we cannot waste the property accumulations of a decade in a costly war, and at tlie same time grow rich with amazing raPidity-.-.

Various Awkward statements by Various Crooked

Officials.

How Custom House "Whack up" with Attorneys.

Officials District

Washington, April 29.—E. B. Northrop, editor of the Milwaukee Commercial Times in which an article appeared making charges against Secretary Bristow in connection with the Mary Merritt case, testified to-day that he wrote the article, and that a Deputy United States marshal first called his attention to the subject, and asked him to work up the case. It was either Simpson or Burk. Ilis knowledge of the case was derived from Col. Goodwin who received his statement from Mr. Johnson and from John A. Hinze, detective, who derived his information from Mr. Weiss. Witness knew nothing except what he derived from others and by examination of the court records.

Witness in rcf-ly to a question by Secretary Bristow, said i: :it Col. Goodwin, during the last eight months, was engaged exclusively in whisky fraud trials at Milwaukee.

Secretary Bristow asked the witness whether Col. Goodwin was not his open and avowed enemy, because of his official course in the prosecution of those engaged in whisky frauds.

Represent,itive Bright remarked that the committee was not engaged in examination of whisky frauds.

Secretary Bristow said as he had been arraigned on charges preferred by a member of congress, Judge Cate, it seemed to him it was competent to show the motive of attack.

Representative Bright objected on the ground of irrevelancy, and Representative Hartzcll said the committee had better send for Col. Goodwin and put him on the stand. He could then be interrogated as to his motive. The question seemed to be an attempt to throw discredit on the witness without giving him an opportnnitv to be heard.

After conversation by members of the cqmmittec, Northrop said that Colonel Goodwjn did not instigate ths publication of the statement against Secretary Bristow.

G. E. Weiss, formerly deputy collector at Milwaukee, testified as to his conduct in relation to the Mary Merritt, and the circumstances attending the obtaining of his moiety. Witness resisted the remission of the bond of $15,000 until his interests were secured. He paid Judge llubbell five hundred dollars out of gratitude for not favoring such remission and not in consequence of any private agreement with that gentleman. Witness said Bristow appeared and made his arguement before Secretin"v Richardson in

The witness had found in his experience in the custom house that unless custom house officers made previous arrangments with the district attorneys about the division of a moiety, the attorneys would not institute proceedings, and this extortion was virtually sanctioned by Secretary Richardsoni hence the payment witness made to Judge Hubbell as a matter "oi'gratuUuc,' u«t w-aw ,.... the remission. He paid S. W. Hazleton, formerly a member of congres.s, but now district attorney at Milwaukee, $500 for pressing the case before the secretary of treasury Richardson. Witness paid no officer in Washington any money whatever. None of the facts in the article in the Milwaukee Times were furnished by witness.

Northrop was recalled, and being asked who brought him the brief, answered that Colonel Goodwin said that the brief of General Bristow in the Merritt case, was all they needed, as it would throw Bristow right on his seat in a few days. Mr. Hen said Weiss positively refused to furnish the brief. One night the brief was brought to the office by a messenger from Katzhausen, a Milwaukee lawyer, but how it was brought about ^witness could not tell.

Bristow—Is Mr. Katzhausen one of the attorneys for the whisky ring in Milwaukee

Northrop—I think he is. Northrop then explained that the Times was not a whisky organ, but supported the hisk}* ring prosecution from the beginning. Her was the most active man to secure publication of the article.

Bristow—What other position in Milwaukee than that of detective did Hen hold?

A.—He is President of the central Democratic committee of that city. The chairman (Ely)—Well that is hot at all discreditable.

Weiss—Well to make a storv complete I will state to the committee that I am President. [Laughter.]

MOODY AND SANKEY.

Some Hitherto Unpublished Anec^otes.

How Mr. Moody and Mr. Sankey, who live well attired, subsist without the contributions of money which are offered to them invariably "in vain, is a question that puzzles a good many people. Ever since they began in the Wes't their work, which was afterwards extended into England, Scotland and Ireland, they have sturdily declined payment. They receive considerable profits on the sales of their hymn-books, but Mr. Moody will have nothing to do with such moneys except to use them for poor churches and other such purposes. He never keeps a cent, nor, it is said, does Mr. Sankey. How then, do the preacher and the singer, neither of whom has any private fortune, pay their way

Mr Moody's startling success in Chicago was illustrated by the conversion and the friendship of many of the richest citizens. Among his best friends w*as John V. Farwell, the great dry-goods merchant of the Northwest, to whom while he was accumulating his estate the late Mr. Stewart extended credits. Mr. Farwell said to Mr. Moody at the conclusion of his labors there: "Moody, I know you want to go out and preach, You ought to. Go ahead, and I'll see that you have the means." Mr. Farwell and several other wealthy gentlemen, speedily arranged for the necessary income, and have ever since maintained it. This is why Moody and Sankey are able to decline to take toll for themselves along the wav ...

An opulent and stubborn Chicago merchant, who became one of the subscribers declined for along while to be converted. Mr.-Moody w-as so persistent that, although the merchant liked him for some traits, he resented what he felt to be a

persecution. It ivas not, is not, and probably never will be entirely agreeable to a man to be pursued by the best-mean-ing evangelist into his office and dwelling and urged vehemently, to "save his soul." At last the merchant said with candor* "Moody, if you ever speak to me again on the subject of religion, by God, I'll horsewhip you, even if it's on*the public street." The next time thev met was on the verge at one end of a swing-bridge, which was withdrawn to give passage°to' boats. They shook hands and Mr. Moody, without flinching, said: "Mr.

I hope you will remember that

you have a Saviour who loves you, and a soul to save!" Crossing the bridge, they went their different ways without tlie horse-whipping. A few days later Mr. Moody entered the merchant's store, as intent upon his purpose as ever he had been. He was anticipated by the merchant, who drew him aside, and together they sat on a dry goods box. ,'Now look here, Moody," said the merchant, "what you said to me the other day there by the bridge—that I 'had a Savior who loved me and a soul to save,' made a profound impression on me. I want you to talk to me." The revivalist seized the opportunity so long coveted, and soon the two men were on their knees together, in business hours, in the merchants private office, turning it into a place of prayer and tears.

III.

Not long after his recent arrival in New York, a distinguished merchant invited Mr. Moody to his house to meet a party of eight or ten of the wealthiest "business men" at dinner. Being averse to such entertainments he thanked his host and said: "I will be glad to go, on one condition—that it should be understood among your guests that at the table religion shall be the topic, and that 1 shall be sure to urge it upon them all." The condition Was acceded to, the gentleman who gave the invitation judging rightly that the curiosity of the rest of the company would transend their dread of a possible bore. They came in force, and one of the toughest, most "wide-awake" men amongst them accompanied Mr. Moody into an adjoining room to talk, to be convinced, to subsequently ofler his check for several thousands.

IV.

When the revival in Brooklyn was at its height, a very wealthy, cultivated and skeptical lady from New York went over there to hear Mr. Moody preach. She was amazed and a little disgusted by his style of oratory. But for some reason which probably she could not have defined, she went again. Still again. On her fourth visit she passed into the in-quiry-room and said to Mr. Moody that she would like to hear from him, dircctly and privately, his argument why she should become a Christian. He answered her, saying, "Madame, I know of no surer way to reach your heart than through prayer. Let' us pray." Mr. Moody knelt. I lis manner was such that the lady could not C-K-ose but kneel beside him. lie asked her to repeat after him nis prayer. In low, earnest tones, and with all the pathetic phraseology of which on such occasions'he is master, he muttered his supplication, pausing after each sentence for his companion to follow. The prayer concluded with the vow: "And now, O Lord, I give inv life to Thee!" "Mr. Moody," said the hid v, in a hard, painful whisper, "I cannot say that truly. I cannot."

Mr. Moody made 110 reply, nor did he change his position. There was a pause of half a minute. Then again he uttered, the words: "And now, O Lord, I srive mv life to Thee!"

The lady, trembling, did not respond, The evangelist paused for about the same space as before, motionless. And now with a voice still more resolute and fervid, he repeated for the third time the pledge. After a momentary interval of silence, the new convert said: "And'now, O Lord, I give mv life to Thee!"

Mr. Moody rose, took his weeping charge by the hand with the words, "Mad am, I devoutedly thank God!" and led her quietly to the door. She has ever since been actively employed in religious work.
