The Pittsburgh Commercial Advertiser

shj's Asa

Packer,

THE Chicago <Republican> thinks the fact

the Democratic candi

date for Governor of Pennsylvania, is as mean as he is rich. It might add, observes the Chicago Republican, that if he iB as rich as be is mean, he must be worth more than the twenty millions with which v:1 .? bo is credited.

4:1

that not a single candidate for the Legislature on the Prohibition ticket was elected in Maine, ought to be an evidence of the fact, which almost everybody of practical sense admitted before, that the inauguration of a separate temperance party by the late National Temperance Convention, was not called for by any urgent public demand. =====

We respectfully ask the question here: Why is it that the <Express> makes so much ado over the Danville Railroad and says but little or nothing about the railroad to Bloomfield?—<Journal>.

Whoever wrote the above knew that he was writing a mean lie. The EXPRESS has been the persistent advocate of the Bloomfield road, "first, last and all the time." A glance at our files shows that we have given much more space to the Bloomfield than to the Danville road.— We are glad to know, however, that the matter is now in such shape that the appropriation of $100,000, by the City Council, may be counted on with certainty. Another $100,000, at least, will be subscribed by citizens of Terre Haute, and then, when Greene county comes to time with her share of the capital stock, the enterprize will move on towards the earliest possible completion. =====

The <Journal>, after making the infamously false charge that the EXPRESS "makes much ado over the Danville road and says little or nothing about the Bloomfield road"—a charge that the writer knew was a base lie when he wrote it —measures itself and throws its influence on the market by asking this question: "Is it because the hands of the EX-

have been greased with a consid

eration?' Now, we don't believe that the responsible editor of the <Journal> is mean enough to have written that question.— We don't believe that he can be so utterly destitute of every decent attribute of humanity; that he can have desceneed [sic] so far into the fathomless depths of damning infamy as to have been the author of the article from which that question is taken. But, whoever he may be, be guages [sic] himself as a creature not only incapable of working for the public good without a bribe, but incapable, also, of appreciating the motives and impulses of honest men. He brands himself before the world with the mark ''FOR SALE." =====

editor of the

Express

is in fa

vor of the city giving away $100,000 to the Danville Railroad. Of course he is. It will be nothing out of his pocket. He pays no taxes to speak of. But those who do, may think differently, and be just as honest in their opinion as our cotomporary—<Journal>. "The editor of the EXPRESS" is not "in

Ectress"

is not "in

favor of the city givlng away $100,000,'' or one cent, for the Danville, or any other railroad but, if the public interest imperatively demands the instruction of two lines of railway—and all admit that such is the case—we believe that the parties most interested in their construction should build, own and control them, assuming whatever risks of loss or chances of profit there may be. The city of Terre Haute is one of these parties.

The fling which the writer of the above makes at the poverty of the editor of the EXPRESS is in keeping with the character of the sheet for which he writes. We leave him and it to the contempt of all honorable minds. =====

We have the authority of the <Express> for saying that "the city of Terre Haute is in a better condition, financially, than any other city in Indiana." We ought to manage and keep it in that condition. <Journal>.

By all means let us "manage to keep it in that condition." To do so let us employ every judicious means for the development of trade, manufactures and all other business interests. If railroads are needed in the development of our resources, if their construction will swell the sum total of our taxables in a greater ratio than our taxes, let us help to build them. We believe they will. Most of our citizens believe the same. If any opponent of the proposed appropriations is prepared to prove that they will not, we should not object to giving him reasonable space for the presentation of his arguments The subject should be fully discussed in all its bearings, and we are confident that the more it is discussed the stronger will be the public feeling in favor of the city assisting to build the Bloomfield and Danville roads, as measures of self-advancement, if not of selfpreservation.

The North German Correspondent,

The

eastern portion of the State, to which Mr.

Johnson

belongs, already has the other

Senator, the Governor,: the Secretary of State, and'the Superintendent of Education, and will not be'allowed to grasp the lelst remaining prize without a struggle. Really Mr.

JohNson

had better take the

IHbune's advice and if he will mount the ladder of promotion once mere, he had better not jump for tbe upper rounds, but begin patiently at the bottom and try to be Alderman of his native village.

From one editorial in the <Journal> of

Friday we take this: "The <Journal> is in favor of the two new roads, and desires the city to do its whole duty in the premises."

From another <editorial> in the same paper we clip this: "Where is the use of the city of Terre Haute subscribing $100,000 towards it, payable in twenty years, and agreeing to

^mm

the the

Tobk correspondent of

Louisvillo Cyurier-Journal furnishes following rather sensational and some what doubtful statement:

What a sham this life is! Suppose 1 should tell you that the World's story about the death-bed of Mrc. Sickles is all gush and gammon suppose I should tell you tbat it was invented by a Bohemian suppose I should tell you that Theresa Sickles is not dead at all? There are those who will tell you as much, and they ought to know. They say Mrs. Sickles and her husband found that their life, after their re-union, was not a happy one, and that rather than face the shame and mortification of a second dissolution they got up tbe story of her death to conceal a separation by mutual agreement. Mrs. Sickles, according to this version of the story, is alive at this moment. She entered a convent near Madrid, and it is shrewdly surmised that she and the General have met once more since his arrival in Spain.

English paper published in Berlin, states that there are now sixty American students attending lectures at tbo universities of that city alone, and that those of Heidleberg, Bonn, Jena, Laipzic and th# Mining School at Freiberg, have quite as many more matriculants. Every year the number of American studenls increases in Germany, and the reason is clear, for the advantages offered by tbo German universities are nowhere equaled by any in this country.

San Francisco Bulletin, discussing

the National Capital question, says tbat the idea of removal is preposterous and absurd. San Francisco, it says, makes no complaint.: It concludes, "at this distance it Is impossible) understand wby the Government should be called on to abandon about $100,000,000 of improvements, to break up tbe most interesting aisociations, and to set a precedent for future removals of the capital on some other ppetext." The Chicago Journal pronounces this sensible, and thinks, if San Francisco and the Pacific slope are satisfied with the present location, then, certainly, St. Louis and the Mississippi valley ought to be. ajasw .It.

pay an annual interest of $7,000 on it? No use in the world, only that it will make the corporation tbat much richer, and the tax-payer that much poorer, for we cannot see where the city can be benefitted by this Danville road, or rather by this extension of the Evansville & Crawfordsville Railroad."

The first of these extracts was evidentwritten by the responsible editor, while tbe second—which directly antagonizes the first—was written by some casual occupant of the editorial chair. The influence of a paper thus "divided against itself" must be stupendous! =====

People

have an undoubted right to

expend ibeir own money where they please. It is tLeir own business, perhaps1 jf they go JSisi for articles manufactured here, and we have no right to complain —s9 j, often the case—tbey pay more money for a cheap and shabby Easternmade article than a good home-manulac-tured one would cost. Such a policy, howevur, is eminently calculated to discourage our own manufacturers and mechanics, to build up other cities at tbe expense cf our own, and to drive men of enterprise and capital from us to other localities where a^'live and let live policy prevails.

We were led to mese reflections by seeing the excellont display of carriages and wagons from Terre Hauto manufactories, on exhibition at tbe County Fair In elegance of stylo and finish, and durability of construction they appear to us to be equal to the beet products of any the more extended manufactories. Their makers deserve the commendation of tbe public for their efforts to build up a most important branch of industry. And they deserve something more, to-wit: the pat ronage of the community that is so largely benefitted by their enterprise. It 's due to them that fewer carriages and wagons should bo brought hare from •broad

What is true of this branch of manu. faittrres is equally true of some others. If our people will learn to patroni home industry, to build up home enterpriser, to develop home resources, they will have learned the first principle of well-grounded and enduring prosperity

Evansville, Henderson & Nashville Railroad to a Kentucky company, who will proceed to complete the road immediately, remarks that "if this be done, it will make the opening of the northern connection direct to Chicago, simply a question of time," and this connection suggests that:

The proposed new line through Danville, Illinois, to Vincennes, seems just now to be the most promising but it is in a very weakly condition.

The proposed line through Danville, Illinois, to Vincennes <via> of Paris is probably, the line to which the <Journal> alludes, and it is undoubtedly in "a very weakly condition," but that is not the northern connection which the friends of the E. H. & N. Railroad desire, as the La Fayette <Journal> ought to know. It should be aware of the fact tbat the E. & C. road from this city to Evansville is a very important link in the Chicago and Nashville line. It should know, also, that the portion of the line lying between Chicago and Danville is in process of rapid construction. Mr. COLLETT, in a recent of-

We haven't the slightest objection to the most direct connection by rail between Terre Haute and the Star City. We care not what "combination" decreases the distence [sic] —or time, which is the same thing—between the two cities, but we can't see how Lafayette is to place itself on the line of the great Chicago and Nashville route. The fates seem to forbid such a consummation. The <Journal> concludes that "the new line, if it is ever completed, will have to be built by Chicago capital." This is a very serious mistake, Chicago capital will not be required to complete "the new line," and when completed, Chicago will neither own nor control it. There are railroad men outside of Chicago and there are cities and other corporations capable of.seeing where their interests lie and determined to act promptly for the promotion of those interests. =====

CITY

TERKE-HAUTE, INDIANA, SEPTEMBER

From Cliicago to Nashville. The La Fayette <Journal>, noticing the fact that General BOYLE has leased the

ficial report to the City Council of Terre Haute, says of the Danville road: "Tbe Company having completed nearly one-half of their track, notwithstanding the unfavorable nature of this exceptional season, confidently promise to meet the E. T. H. & C. R. R. at the State line on the First day of July, 1870. With an ordinary season, I know of no reason to question their ability to fulfill that promise."

The remaining link, that between Danville and Terre Haute, will be built as speedily as possible. It is in the hands of men who are not accustomed to connect their names with failure. The city of Terre Haute and the county of Vermillion will be parties in its construction and management. Our city council, in response to a petition of the taxpayers, is making the preliminary arrangements for an appropriation of $100,000. Before the close of 1870 the entire line from Chicago to Nashville via Danville, Terre Haute and Evansville, the shortest practicable route, will be completed, with the exception, perhaps, of a portion of the road between Terre Haute and Dauville which it may not be possible to complete at so early day.

Our La Fayette cotemporary truly remarks thrt [sic] "the road from Henderson to Nashville and thence South, will make, with proper connections, a shorter line from Chicago to Nashville and all points South, than by way of Louisville," and continues thus:

It seems to us that it would be altogether practicable, if our railroad men only set about it right, to effect such a combination of roads already built as would, wilh the construction of but few miles, furnish just the connection needed by way of La Fayette, making a straight line from here to Terre Haute or Rockville, connecting with the Evansville & Crawfordsville."

Press Convention.—In response to the request for a convention of the editors and publishers of this and neighboring towns, a meeting was held in this city on Wednesday. The attendance was not so general as could have been desired, jet the meeting was one of much proflt to those attending and promises to result in much good to tbe fraternity. Before proceeding to business tbe members sat down to a sumptuous repast, generously provided by that cleverest of caterers. T. C. Bun tin, of the Teryelfaute House.

Tbe following papers were represented Thos. J. Gray, Brazil Miner: O. Frost, Marshall Herald John Littlefjeld, Marshall Messenger I. M. Brown, Sullivan Union Murray Briggj, Sullivan Democrat S. B.

Two sessions were held one in the afternoon and one in iho evening. Muray Brign-s of the Sullivan Democrat wits selecied 11s President and T. J. C-rray, the Brazil Mimr, as Secretary.

Remarks wero made by nearly every ne present. huso remarks and the proceedings of the convention, are of no particular in-

A.committee on permanent organization, and for other purpo^, was appointed to teport at a second meeting to be called at the discretion cf said committee.

A rorolution was unanimously adopted expressing the thanks of the Convention to T. C. Biin tin, of the Terre tlaute House, his generous hospitality, alter which the meeting adjourned, lo meet as be'ore nieutionud.

The Board of Trustees havo electtd an bio Faculty, and have made provision for tbo immediate opening of the Model Schools and Practice or Training Schools

On account of the lateness of the season at which the building and furniture will be in readiness, the Board have decided to make the first term, beginning November 24th, a short term of four weeks, and to make of it a Normal Institute, closing just before tho Christmas holidays, to allow tho first full term to begin the first week in January and continue three months.

Tbe Board of Trustees indulge the hope tbat a large number of young men and young ladies will avail themselves of the advantages, to be derived frcm Normal School instruction at tho very opening of this important Institution, and that every county in tho State may be represented an tbe roll of students during the first year of its history.

It is the intention of the gentlemen now comprising the company to make a first clasB road of the Western four and a half iniles, and to keep It in good condition at all times.

They will not do Ihis until the Fair is over, not wishing to Charge citizens toll for visiting the Fair. No right tbinkiog man objects to paying reasonable toll on a good road.

The citizens living on our principal roads leading from the city should organ-* ize and not only put their respective roads in good repair, but arrange ao the same may continue so for along time.

Tbe Fourth Annual Exhibition of the Vigo County Agricultural Fair closed on Saturday. As an exhibit! in of agricultural and mechanical products it was eminently a success—financially, we learn the Directors will be about able to make both ends meet. While tba society meets With no kse, it is to be regretted that tbe treasury is not left with a good surplus on which to hnild the fair of next yoar.

Tbe trot annouaced for Saturday afternoon drew quite a large attendance four horses were entered, but "Red Buck" did not come on the track. The remaining horses went as follows:

Fouts named "Billy Button" I 1 1 Fouls named Bay John ,2 3 3 Vesey named Vesey's mare.,^ 3 3 2

Time: 3:13J—3:14—3:06. First premium of $50 awarded to "Billy Button," and second premium of $25 awarded to "Vesey'g mare." The latter would undoubtedly have won the first premium had it not been for bad starts on the two first heats.,

We take pleasure in acknowledging our obligations during the fair to Secretary Gilbert, and his assistant, Mr. D. N. Gould, to Treamrer Pegg, Superintend-? pnt Ferrell, and others,/or favors and al.-o to Wm. Patrick, Heinl Brothers, W. Ragan, A. Imbrey, and oiher exhibitors. for favors of a more personal nature.
