WIFE-BEATING is one ot ilieda.ily duties of husbands in Terre Haute.—Exchange.

Terre Haute is cursed with but very few—r.ot more than four or five—wifebeating husbands, and the climate is becoming quite unhealthy for even tha number. A wife-beater is not respected a whit more than a thief in this community.

(Governor Baker's Message. A large portion of our space, to-day, is devoted to the message of Goveriv.r 13AKEtt which was presented to the Le gislature on the Gth. It is an unusually valuable State paper, and notwithstanding its great length—necessitated by the number anil importance of the topics of which it treats—will command the earnest attention of all who seek full and accurate information relative to the affairs of our great and prosperous Commonwealth. We have not room, to day for extended comment on any of the sub jects so candidly, clearly and ably handled by the Governor but commend the sage to the attentive consideration of our readers, with the assurance that they will be abundantly repaid for the time occupied in its perusal.

THE HON. THOM IS W. FEKKY, who is to succeed Senator llow'AUI', of Michigan, was born at Mackinaw, June 1, 1S27. He received a common school education, and then engnged in mercantile business. He was elected a mcuber of the Michigan House of Representatives in ISoO, and of the State Senate in ISoti. In 180-1 he was appointed to represent his native State on the Board of .Managers of the Gettysburg Soldiers' National Cemetery, and was reappointed in 18t7. He was elected to the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth Congresses, and also to the Forty-first, receiving at the last election a majority of 0,320 over his Democratic opponent. Mr. FEKKY is a man of dccided ability and rare integrity. He will s^rve the State honorably in bis new station.

A MH'IIIG VN CorKT has recently given an important decision in an insurance suit. The case at issue was that of a man robbed and murdered while walking home. He held a policy in an accident insurance company, and upon this bis administrator sued to recover. The court, however, ruled that traveling on foot cannot be construed to meet the conditions of the policy which prescribe recovery only when the accident is the result of traveling "by private or public conveyance.'' The court thereupon sustained the company in its refusal to pay its policy upon the murdered man's life. An intelligent CJtemporary speaks of this as a very strict construction of the law. so strict, indeed, as to render the present form of the policies of accident companies less valuable than thev have been considered. Holders of them certainly understood tii.it they covered accidents to the person, no matter under what circumstances accidents occurred. For instance, under this decision their validity would seem to lapse the moment the insured set foot upon the ground, even in leaving one train for another, or in going from his carriage to

his horse's head.

rate unparalleled by any other country,

whether of the Old or New World." It finds that our population increased at least one million during 1870, but onefourth of this incrca=e is the result of emigration, leaving the remaining threefourths to be accounted for by the excels of births over deaths.

Our agriculture was very productive, and its gaira over 1869 in value were very considerable. The gold and silver returns of the mines were over sixty millions, and in the same period numerous new mines were opened, but thev will not in many instances show notable results until this present year.

A source of general congratulation is the approach of our national currency to gold value while in 1869 it was twenty per cent, below, it is now scarcely above ten per cent., and there is no reason why during 1871 it should not reach the standard of coin.

A remarkable feature of the year just closed was the construction of over ten thousand miles of railroad in the I'nited States, at a cott of no! le-s than three hundred millions of dollars. Our cities have also increased the number of their buildings one hundred thousand, and is not nnfuir to snppo the count ojs-ide of the cities has erected quite a ur-la in June, 1869, the reported bilaiie.- ,s' trade against us was seventy five millionof dollars, while in June, 1870, it was only a little over twenty-five millions.

A.v important meeting, in the interest of the T. II. J5. Railroad, was held at Bloomfieid on Saturday. "o report there of has yet reached us. The people ol Greene county seem to be in earnest in this matter, and weconlidently hope they will secure the object for which they are striving. Terre Haute has Ion-/ been ready to do its share towards the construction of the much-needed and greatlydesired railroad.

OI' THE rejection of Senator BURSON'S vote, the Evansville Journal says: "The disfranchisement of Senator J'L"P.SON, in the manner described, is one of the most despotic acts ever perpetrated in a majority, and indicates, most unmistakably the spirit that will prevail iring the entire session. Minorities have some rights which even majorities can be made to respcci, and the Democrats of the Legislature mav be convinced of the fact

A COTEMPOKAKY suggests that there might be wouglit into our Criminal Code with great utility and justice, a new form of indictment for manslaughter, wliic! should be made particularly applicable to managers of railroad companies. One need only deviate a little from the pres ent definition which the law gives ol murder, and say, "killing and slayin with neglect aforethought." Such a term given expression by the summary verdi of a jury, would go a great ways, we be lieve, toward rendering less frequent th so-called accidents upon railroads.

IF THE Democracy regard the result ol our last State election as an accident— occasioncd by any cause or causes whicl will not serve their interests ii 1872— they will bo likely to "make hay while tliesun shines," and "go in" for unlimited "plunder." But if they view their acce.slon" to power as an indication that the people have forgiven their numberlesins, and are willing to give them another trial, thev may take the "cconomica chute. The Presidential aspirations of IIENDKK KS will incline him strongly to the latter course, and thus his ambition will be turned to good account. But it is doubtful if the intense hunger of the long-abstinent Democracy can be restrained by any influence. Wc shall soon see, however.

We accept these exhibit* as an evi» dence that the country has at last fully started upon its career of commercial prosperity. How greatly we were injured in trade, manufactures and agriculture bv the war of the Rebellion wc are already too apt to forget, though six years ago LEE still held Richmond an I the Confederacy was yet a stubborn, aggressive Kt.

It was not alone that the army swalowed up so many of the effective laborers aa 1 artizans of the country, but that the war for a'ime almost put a stop to emigration. We were during tlio-e live years of strife, carnage and material los ses, going backward in-ucid of forward.— The North was robbed of its ac ive, producing classes, and the South not only lost the services of these, but its agriculture, trade and manufactures came to a dead stand still. Destruction by fire and sword and waste swept over it from end to end, so that it seemed impossible tiiat it could recover from the effect of it for scores of years. Not nearly half a sco'-e however have gone by, and the South is stronger in agriculture, manufactures and commerce than it ever was.

The signs of a mighty sweeping progress are showing themselves over the whole country. New railroads are building new cities in the wilderness of the far West, as well as clearing farms, starting shops and generally developing hitherto unknown resources of national wealth.

From the Daily Express, «tli,] The Legislature.

The Legislature effected an organization, in both Houses, yesterday. In the House, the Democratic caucus nominees mentioned in our last i.-sue. were prompt ly elected to the various offices to which iltey aspired The members of the House were sworn in by Judge BUSKIKK of the •Supreme Court.

Our telegraphic report has the follow ing allusion to absentees, and traitors to their party, which no Republican can read without supreme disgust and inten.indignation:

In the Senate two Republicans were absent, and Hon. James Hughes, Senato from Monroe county, and Senator Ellio from the Connersville District, both elect ed on the Republican ticket, acted with the Democrats, giving the control o) the organization to the Democrats.

The names of the officers elee'ed, some of whom are Republicans, will be found in the telegraphic columns.

A contest arose in relation to Senator IU'KSON, of the Muncie Distr ct, whose admission was objected to from the Dem ocratic side, on the ground of alleged bribery and fraud in the election The Lieut. Governor decided that the creden tials being in proper form and no regular contest presented, he could be sworn ii which was done. Immediately after tin Senators weie qualified an appeal wa taken Irom the decision ol the chair, and sustained by a majority of the Senate. After a long discussion a resolution wa adopted declaring BUKSON not entitled to a vote, referring his case to a select committee. This action, with HUGHES and ELLIOTT acting with the Democrats,gives the Democracy a majority of three in the Senate.

We are not fully advised as to the fact.in the case of Senator BUKSON, but so fai we can judge from present inlormation the rejection of his vote was a high handed outrage.

The Governor's message will be read *o day. It is siid to be a very able and exhaustive statement of those affairs which he Executive is required to present to he General Assembly.

IIEKE is a verv creditable showing of the business of the Evansville Postoffice. We quote the Jourwtl of that city:

The amount ot postage stamps sold at the 1'osi Ollice in this city during the vear 1870 was S17,030 85 stamped envelope-, S3,9-"0 48 making a total of "20,981 3? an average monthlv sale ol 1,7-18 44.

The good management of Col. FOSTEK —more than all other causes combined has increased he revenue* of his Postoffice very largely. Our Postoffice had not the same chance for improvement, because Mr. BLKNETT succeeded a good officer. In fact, Terre Haute has been blessed, for many years, with a continnus line of very efficient Postmasters, of whom none have been more so than the present incumbent. At:.! not only have our P. M.'s been faithful, but they have been fortunate in securing good clerks, whose hone. !y and fidelity have largely I contributed to the enviable reputation of the office. Nor can we do full justice to this subject without a hearty word in commendation of Mr. MERRY, who, for nearly a score of years, has rr'.nsp.irted mails between the railway stations and the office, with unvarying promptness.

If every officer and employe of the Government were as honest and faithful a« Mr MERKY, the national revenues would never suffer loss, and there would be no need of "Civil Service Reform."

"OLD AND NEW," for January, comes to hand late, but brings even more than its usual stoic of good things. The proprietors of this magazine have spared no ellort, and hesitated at no expense, to add to its value and increase its popular ity and they have their reward in a large and rapidly increasing circulation, l'hose who are unacquainted witn 'Old and New," and desire to take it on "trial subscription" for a time, can have the privilege of doing so. By sending SI,00 to ROUEKTS BKOTHEHS, Boston, the magazine will be sent to any address four months.

THE condition of affairs in Virginia is represented as most deplorable. Business is prostrate, the people very gloomy, and the land holders anxious to emigrate to the West and willing to sell their property at a sacrifice. All immigration from the North has been checked, and what few iu.migrants there have been since the war arc desirous of returning to their former homes. This is but the natural result of the policy of the people of Virginia, who, while denouncing what they call political proscription, do not lies* itate at social proscription.

THE San Francisco Bulletin reports a great decrease of Chinese immigration, and says that for some time past the departures of these people have been more than the arrivals. The surface mining, the great attraction to Chinaman, is about exhausted the completion ot the Pacific Railroad returned about 5,000 to a depressed labor market and women and children are being employed in factories to the exclusion of the Chinese. In short, an extraordinary and exception al demand for their labor having ceased, the Chinamen are being rapidly crowded out ol the way by the whites.

MAX F. A. HUFFMAN, Secretary of State, will vacate his office for his successor on the 17th inst Major JOHN. D. EVANS, Auditor ot State, will follow suit on the25ih inst. and General NATHAN KIMBALL, Treasurer ot State, will valediet on the 10th proximo. It is no idle compliment to say that each of these gentlemen has been a faithful and efficient officer. The business of their respective offices has been prudently, ablv and successfully managed and should their successors follow their example, the odium bat altaches to Democratic control of State affairs will, in a good deirree, be removed.

ACCOUNTS from Washington assert that "the biggest lobby ever organized in ihe United Slates is now beins fixed up 10 get the subsidied corporations released from their obligations to pay interest semi-anrually on the United States bondissued to aid the construction of the roads." The Chicago Republican pertinent suggests that "it will be worth whili for voters to keep a pretty sharp eve upon the course pursued by their representaives in relation to this question. The mount involved is somewhere near sixty millions, which sum, with accruing inter est, the railroad stockholders propose to levy upon the tax payers ol the country. It is probably safe lo guess that every Congressman who votes for the enormous swindle, will have his pickets lined with share of the plunder."

THE Boston T!mes finds amusing to isien to the prophesying* of dire and deep revenge on the part of France linst Germany, which will rise up, half a century hence, and spread itself in dittpe of ruin and devastation over the German Empire. Fittv years heme wliete may be King and Kaisers? Wheie may be dynasties and thrones? They may be reckoned among the political follies and crimes of the past, and be read of, 11 universal republican history, as the tumbling-blocks of progress and enlightenment, the long tolerance of whose exisence will be a wonderment and we prayerfully hope they will. There is excellent assurance indeed, (and we do not look so early for the inillenium either), hat the time is very close at hand when, under the sway of universal republican government, "Sense and worth, o'er nil the earth

Shall bear the 'gree an' a' that," as the prophetic BCRNS has sung, and when a great amalgamation of national

purposes and interests will smother thoughts of revenge for crimes not of peoples. but of men—ambition not of nations, but of individuals May the advent of hat de.-ired period be a speedvone!

WHILE the tax papers of Indiana are talking of a new Capitol building, the erection of which will not, probably, fc« deferred many years, such an item as the following'is suggestive and instructive:

a/-®1'-.•. THE new Supreme Court of the State has been duly inaugurated and has gone to work. The Legislature will probably add a Gfih member, in which case the Governor will, it is supposed, appoint Judge RAY, of the old Court. The Indianapolis Journal thus notices the change in this high tribunal

The old members of the Supreme Court yesterday vacated the bench in favor ol the newly elected. Democratic Jtidges) who assumed their duties at once. The Republican Judges go out of office with a reputation for fidelity, for earnest and on cea-ing application to work, for strict in-

te (V) aIK or

of hi portfolio into the hands of a State.-- 1 Court which has ever honored the juric man of Senator MOUTUN'S ability and

ability, second to no other

prudence of Indiana. They can well afford to be judged bv the record 1 lie new members of the Court will on have to emulate their predecessors in ilie vir tues named, and achieve mo -Jerri sficcess, to plea-e their political :ri«-nds and enemies alike.

IIEIIE is rather a si^nifi-Mii* from the editorial corec.-pondence of the Jounud:

Hon. Tlios. A. Hendricks is loomin-r up as a candidate for the Presidency in 1872. While ihe Waba-h country is not fastened to that gentleman by bands of s'eel, as every reader of your columns knows, still we may erome his iriend, and most reliable Iriend—that is if honor and fair dealing pievail all around.

Now, let us know in- what way HEN DKICKS "is to show that "honor and lair dealing" which are to rivet the "bands of steel" and make you "his friend, and most reliable friend."

THE simple fact that two Republicans of the Senate coalesced with tiie uemocrats, enabling our friends there to organize that body is significant.— Einiisville Courier.

Quite "significant." It signifies that two men, HL'GIIES and ELLIOTT, deliberately beirayed the party whose agents they were. Outside the political arena, such conduct is properly described as rascality, and tho^e who are guilty of it are termed rascals and scoundrels. We leave the betrayed constituents of these two men. and the public generally, to decide whether an act that, in the business or social relations of life, would be simply infamous, is less so when perpetrated in politics.

IlEitE is concentrated wisdom, from the Fort Wayne Gazette: Nothing is more foolish than to make a mere side issue, like the acquisition of a few icebergs or volcanoes, or a local question like that in Missouri, a party measure, and then begin a vigorous cracking of the party whip if every Republican fails to throw up his hat with enthusiasm at the bare mention of such airy schemes. Above ail, do we protest against accusing Republicans of treason, if they fail to sneeze promptly every time a Senator from Michigan or Pennsylvania takes snuff.

SPEAKING of T. T.'s recent exit from the editorial chairs of Mr. Bow EN'S two papers, The Independent, and the Brooklyn Union, the Indianapolis JS'ews says:

Tilton is rather flighty and unpractical about many things, but his worst enemies can not deny him the possession of tal ents of a superior order. Brother ISowen will hunt for his equal a long lime.

All of which is verv true.

Gov. PEHH*.M, in his Message to the Maine Legislatuie, expresses with earnestness the views which preponderate in his State on the fishery iesiion .More than any other State, probably, Maine is interested in the maintenance of do commercial relations with Uiiih I'rovin ees. There, if anywhere, we might look for a disposition to regaid with di-lawir the retaliatory measures sugges'ed by the President. Gov. Pei ham, however, heartily approves ihe course loreshadowed by the President, and pledges the support of the State in whatever action may be re quired to vindicate the rights of Aineri can fishermen, as against ihe monopoliz ing pretensions and the harsh proceed ings of the Provincial authorities. He takes the true ground when he urges a vigorous assertion of our rights. The Dominion policy recognizes no riglr, of any real value, on our side in ic-pect of the sherie- it proceeds oil the basis of favors. This country wants no favor in a matter ol ibis sort. It inisis upon its rights, and can submit to no construction of a treaty in conflict with them.—-V. Timei.

The pews in Plymouth Church,Brooklyn, were sold by auction last evening. 1'he sale, which was in the church, was attended by over wo thousand persons. The 'pit lacked its usual iloral decoration-, and two small tables flanked the sacred desk. At twenty minutes past seven, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher mounted lie stand, followed by the officers of the church During the delay that followed, the assemblage showed iheir impatience by the stamping ot feet and clapping of hands At length Mr. Beecher rapped three times on the desk to secure silence, and said that the rumor that he contemplated a trip to Europe was alse. He hoped the rumor would not depreciate the price of pews. He also counselled good feeling among the Contestants for pews, and introduced Mr. Pillsbury as the auctioneer. "Mr. Pillsbury," said the reverend jok-r, "'came late but he lives in New Jersey, and, although he had to come through a very empting locality, I believe he is perfectsober." The multitude laughed at the joke, as they were in duty bound. Mr. Beecher smiled condescendingly, and gave way to the blushing auctioneer, who advanced to the sacred de~k. and tired off the following vocal volley in the manner of his haiham street tellow-craiinnen:
