It is proposed to remove the machinery of the Nail Works, now in Terre Haute, as they can be employed there only a portion of the time, to Indianapolis, where they can be kept running constantly.—

<Ind. Sentinel>.

The proposal originated in the <Sentinel>

office. It would doubtless be a good thing to have nail works where their product could be used in nailing the falshood [sic] perpetrated by that paper, but the works in this city have done exceedingly well here and the proprietors have no wish for a change of base. Such machinery is operated by steam, and that fact would be an insuperable objection to Indianapolis as a location. A city that startles the country, every few days, with "a terrible and fatal boiler explosion!" can offer no adequate inducements for such a transfer as the <Sentinel> proposes. Nailmakers

It is well that there should bo some persons in Indiana with sense and courage enough to light the notion of longer continuing the prejudice of color which hits had so strong a hold upon the people^ particularly those of the southern Wf of the State. This portion of Indiana was originally settled for the most part by people l'rom Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, and other slaveholding States. Some of them have always^een earnest and p.igmvcieus their anti-slavery opinions, and these do not, of course, believe that it is the highest mark of civilization and the surest evidence of Caucasian "blood for a white man to be afraid of political association with a black man. But there has always been enough of the relics ot Kentucky barbarism in Indiana to make the Republicanism of that State, upon the whole, thin-skinned, mealy-mouthed and wliitelivered.

Almost every paper one takes up contains an account of some accident, often fatal and sometimes worse than fatal, occasioned by coupling cars in the old and awfully dangerous way.

If this is true the company that fails to use the improved couplers is guilty of the most criminal neglect and should be made to suffer heavily for all injuries occasioned by such negligence. —————

A Busy Season.

We cannot refrain from recording even now our firm conviction thai the coming year will be the busiest and most pros porous ever known to the American people and instead of being at all discour aged by a very general expression of the opposite view which comes to us from many sources, we feel that this is one of the reasons why we should take the ground which we now take, and which, we believe, there will be no difficulty in establishing.

From a national point of view, there seems to be no chance tq doubt this issue. We are to-day further from the war, and we feel less of its expenditures and draw' backs, than we could have expected in twenty years from the date of the amnes ty. The reaction which it was only natural to anticipate from false and inflated prosperity which was so delusive during the actual term term of the-civil war, has not been anything like so severe as we believed. Instead of the guerilla warefare- which Was predicted would infest the southern states for many years, we find there peace and order. Instead of the continue!) un productiveness of southern territory which wasdreaded, we find that thesouth has just had the largest cotton crop proportion to the ground cultivated, that it ever had and in additionJJ}eu^o there are splendid crops of grain' wnich the south never before thought of. New en terprise has been infused into the country and people they are building railroads and opening new channels of communication and trade the system of great farms is giving way to cooperation crops or the parcelling of the land which cannot but lead to greater energy and more plentiful results and, to-aay, the scene of the war itself is being transformed into a rich harvest field that turns its fruitfiilness to the account of national prosperity.

not bad: "Look here, Captain," said Sol. Claypool, addressing a colored brother the other day, "I know yoit are. a Demo-

crat." -T"Golly, no, Mister! Dis darkey can read I"

Bev. Augustus Eddy, pf the North Indiana Conferiice of the Methodist Episcopal Church, died at his residence in Charlottesville, on Thursday, in the sev-enty-second year of his age, surrounded by his family and friends.

From a political point of view, the prospect is not any the less brilliant, Not more than two years ago, the very thought of our national debt bore down upon us with a weight which we found it impossible to throw off. Now, it has been practically demonstrated that we may, if so disposed, pay off the national indebtedness in twenty years, and we be gin to think that a national debt is not so great a national evil, after all. But better than this is the fact that the headway made upon the country's indebtedness has relieved us of the necessity of exorbitant taxation. The demonstration that the debt can be so speedily and easily discharged has increased the credit of the nation in such a way that the obligation can be readily funded at a much lower rate of interest and this knowledge has led to a popular movement in favor of the reduction of taxation, which will not be resisted, and which will take heavy load from the commercial and manufacturing interest of the country, Confident that our resources will pay the debt soon enough without aiiy oppressive restriction of individual progress and prosperity, we shall find the production, the manufacture and the interchange of commodities easier, more plentiful and buoyant than ever before.

From a business point of view, the out look is quite as encouraging. This can be partially comprehended from a com parative statement of the business disasters of the last few years. The total number of business failures in the United Stktes in 1869 was 2,799, against 2,608 in 1868, and the aggregate liabilities were $75,054,000, against $63,774,000 the previous year. In 1867 there were 2,780_ failures, with $96,666,000 liabilities, the largest number since 1S64, during which year there were 6,993, with liabilities aggregating $297,210,000, which sum was excaeaed by 1857 with 4,932 failures, and liabilities aggregating $291,750,000. It will thus be seen that, in proportion to the amount of business transacted, there were less failures in the aggregate during the year 1869 than any other year. And to properly appreciate the significance of this fact, it must also be remembered that there was never an epoch in our history when business men and interests were so hampered by taxation and restriction, fears and lethargy, as during the very year just passed. For the year 1870, then, when we may confidently expect the removal of many of these pernicious influences, there can scarcely be any other result than that of decided improvement. The movement, too, of the great grain crop which 18C9 yielded us will be one of tne prime levers of our business success during the year. The time of crisis is past now. The hardest and most trying portion of the winter on rich and poor, employers and employed, is over without any serious effects, and the spring trade must open with a push and a prosperity that will continue throughout the year.

A Man Shoots his Entire Face Away with a Horse Pistol." From tho Baltimoro American.]

A Horible case of suicide occured yesterday morning at dwelling No. 190 south Charles street, the victim being John Phillips, aged 54 years, and by occupation a tin and sheet iron worker. A short time since Phillips became peculiarly embarrassed, and gave a bill of sale upon his furniture for a debt of $60, the money to be paid on the first of the present month. The first of the month found him unprepared to liquidate the bill, and he was informed that a constable would distrain upon the furniture unless the money was paid yesterday. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the party who held the due bill, in company with a constable, called at the house of Phillips for the purpose of having a settlement. Phillips, when ap prised of their visit, became very melancholy and refused to speak upon the subject. Finally, however, he remarked to the constables, "Do whatever you please," and then proceeded up stairs. He had not absented himself upward of two minutes, when the report of a' pistol rang through the house. The wife of Phillips and the constable immediately repaired to the attic, where a sickining sight met their gaze Upon the floor was stretched the dead body of the wretched man, and by his side a weapon known as a "horse pistol," and from the manner in which his face was rent into shreds, it is supposed that he shot himself in the mouth, the ballet massing entirely- through the head and emjedding itself in the ceiling. So terrible was the force of the charge contained in the pistol, that the entire face of the man and the greater pari of his head was blown off. His nose.and tongue were found sticking to the ceiling, while bits of blackened flesh and tufts of hair bespattered the walls. Coroner Carr was notified of the tragic affair, and heald an inquest, the jury rendering a verdict of death by snicide. Phillips leaves a wife and five children.
