WEEKLY EXPRESS.

TEBBE HAUTE, IND.

Wednesday Morning, Feb. 14, 1872.

THE new water pipea, at Evansville, are conceded to be a decidedly "crack" affair.

1

as

SHALL our streets be giyen up to porcine marauders?" is still the all-absorb-,jing question, at Evansville.

THE Vincennea "Sun" declines to approve or explain MB. NIBLACK'S vote against recognizing the amendments.

A CONVENTION of' bee-keepers of Indiana is called to meet at the Senate Chamber, on the 23d, for the purpose of forming a Slate society. i.» aj

THE "Journal" furiously snaps the party lash about the ears of those Democrats who decline to accept the revolts tionary teachings of VOORHEES.

IHE good-natured discussion which occurred in the convention, on Saturday, is called "a wrangle," in the "Journal." For our part, we regard that talk as the best feature of a very successful convention.

CAN the "Sentinel" inform an anxious, long-suffering public what the State Printer has done with the heavy invoice of stationery reshipped to his office by the Attorney General?

WILL the "Journal" let its readers see that bill of stationery with which the State Printer wanted to eet up the Attorney General? It is a sublime illustration of "Democratic economy!"

IT WOULD not be a bad idea for the Attorney General to stop the squibbing of the Indianapolis papers, by stating, over his own signature, that he sent back to the Cat-Skinner-General-in-Chief the kitten pelts that were shipped to hijn by that virtuous public functionary.

THE agent of the Associated Press, at Indianapolis, telegraphs to the country that Clay county coal can be delivered in that city at six cents a bushel, by the proposed narrow gauge railway. There may be some marines at the Capital City who believe that sort of thing, but they will learn to be less credulous some time.

THE Maine Senate has passed the Kailroad Consolidation bill, two to one. The Portland "Press" complains that corporation ascendency in the Legislature is complete, and gives prominence to the names of what it calls "the immortal eight who would not bow the knee to BAAL."

BECAUSE all members of the Republican party are not agreed on the personal quesfion, "Who shall be nominated for President?" the "Journal" thinks the party is not harmonious. Judge the Democratic party by the same rule and it resolves itself into more than a hundred factions.

THE Chicago "Times" is of the opinion that "nine-tenths of the honest, earnest men in the United States, who call themselves Democrats, expect to vote for a Kepublicata next fall." Their votes will not be needed, we hope, but they will be cordially welcomed to the ranks of the great Republican party. ^1

THE Radicals having fixed the time for holding their County Convention to nominate a local ticket, would there be any impropriety in the Democracy making a similar movement?—Jew-rial.

If you will bide in patience, your friend "VIGO" will indicate, by a letter to the "Sentinel," the proper time and manner of "making a similar movement."

SOME "sharp" lawyers, at Evansville are attempting to put a man on trial for assault with intent to commit murder, after his acquittal, on an indictment for the same act, charging him with murder. These smart fellows will "slip up." Had the prosecution tried the accused, in the first "place, on the lesser charge, a conviction might have been secured.

THEY have a milk peddling association in New York which they call. the "United Farmers' Christian Milk Reform Company but many say that the unregenerate article is quite as free from water as that this canting company sellin other words, the Christian pump is the best cow in the herd. And yet people like to be swindled by such hypocritical

A RECENT number of the London "Spectator" suggestively remarks: "The American House of Representatives has passed, by 171 to 25, a bill granting amnesty to all rebels, except such as had been military or naval officers in the Federal service before the war, or members of Congress. The Americans are very kindly, and seem able and disposed to pardon anybody—except us."

A DISPATCH from Evansville says the counties of the First District held their conventions on Saturday, and as far as reported they were well attended. That of Vanderburg county was the best primary convention ever held. No instructions for State officers were given. The resolutions declare for GRANT and COLFAX and for MORTON'S return to the Senate, and indorse Governor BAKER'S administration. Spencer and Gibson send like greetings.

THE "Golden Age" says of HORACE GREELEY'S birth day party, that "the company adjourned to meet in the White House some time after the next Presidential election." Whereupon the St. Louis "Democrat" inquires: "Has H.'G. promised to bore GRANT for an office for each of his admiring friends? It would be just like him. A pretty sight—HORACE and all his gang in the ante room soliciting pension agencies, postoffices and collectorships."

ALLUDING to the County Convention, the "Journal" says: "For the first time in the history of that party a wrangle ensued between the two wings of the organization."

The "wrangle" was a pleasant and lively discussion, such as ought to be expected when intelligent men come together to decide questions* of public interest. The "two wings of the organization" are working together in perfect harmony, and it will soon be apparent to the Bourbon organ that a bird with "two wings" can make such progress as no one-winged monstrosity ever dreamed of.

THE papers are talking of a will, now being contested in the Virginia courts, which disposes of ono of the moat remarkable fortunes of modern days. The deceased, Mr. SAMUEL MILLER, was at one time worth some eight millions of dollars, and died possessed of at least three millions, despite the fact that he was the sole architect of his own fortune, and that through mercantile pursuits he was never out of the State of Virginia, never traveled on a railroad or saw a steamboat, never had a business office, and lived several miles from any town. He controlled everything from a distance, wielded some of the largest business housfs in Europe, and at different times held the markets of the world in his hand so far as particular articles of commerce were concerned.

The Presidency.

We

do not know of

a

single Republi­

can who will not cheerfully support any good Republican who m^r

be

nominated

for the Presidency by the Philadelphia Convention. And that is what we call harmony in the party. Until the nomination is made, every man has the fullest right to discuss the question of candidates, without a suspicion of lack of party fealty. We think the nominee will be President GRANT, ^nd so think even the most of those who would prefer some other. His fidelity to Republican principles, and the unquestionable success of his administration, have secured him great popular strength, and it does not seem to us within the bounds of reasonable probability that he can or will be defeated. But if events should occur in the next few months to make some other selection desirable, the good and true men who will meet in Philadelphia on the 5th of June, will be abundantly able to make such a choice as will reflect the wishes of their constituents, and the people will ratify that choice in November. The demoralized Democracy as yet give no indication of any ability to unite upon a candidate. They are "all at sea" to men and principles. Even the leading Democrats in our own State directly antagonize each other on vital issues. We see KERR and HOLMAN indorsing the amendments, while VOORHEES and NIBLACK denounce them as "the most infamous of Kadical iniquities." This is one of many facts showing the utter demoralization of our opponents, while tolerence and harmony prevail in our own counsels.

As ANOTHER indication of the progress of Indiana in substantial manufactures, we notice that the Laporte Car Manufacturing Company have just filed their articles of association in the Secretary of State's office. The objects are the manufacturing of railroad earn, and all business thereunto pertaining, including the purchase and holding of real estate. Capital stock $100,000, divided into Bhares of $25 each, with the privilege of increasing the same to $200,000. Term of existence, fifty years number of Directors eleven place of business mainly Laporte.

THE Cincinnati "Gazette's" Washington special states that Judge WJLSON, of Indiana, of the Judiciary Committee, to whom was referred the memorial of the Governors of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, asking that the two per cent, claim for the sale of public lands might be at once adjusted, in a speech before the House forshadowed the report from the committee as favorable to payment. Judge WILSON went over the whole legal ground of the case, and showed that the government had not as yet complied with the laws so far as the States named are concerned.

THE editor of the Boston "Times" correctly describes war as a serious thing, meaning death and desolation, and blight to whatever it touches in its ruthless course. A war between England and the United States would be sharp and terribly destructive. None could foretell the amount of suffering it would entail. In considering the subject, let the cause of humanity have an advocate. If war should come, it would arise largely from bitter railings of the newspaper writers and pamphleteers of the two countries. It would be well, upon a declaration of hostilities, to arm those representatives of the two nations with the best of the modern implements of destruction, and let them fight it out to the bitter end. After their annihilation the peoples of the two countries could live at pcace.

THE cost of the British Army for 1871 was as high as XI 5,851,700, and that of the Navy, for the same year, was £9,756,356 —the total being £25,608,056, which is a trifle over one hundred and twenty-eight million dollars. Yet, Mr. VERNON HARCOURT ("Historicus") of the "Times," and a prominent debater in the House of Commons), declared in his speech at Oxford, the other day, "My belief is that, spend what you will upon your army, you never will be in a position to place on the Continent of Europe aland force for any purpose whatsoever which shall be effectual against the great military powers. And, therefore, all you spend in attemptthat which is unattainable, is money wasted. While you keep such a force unemployed it is futile expense if you seek to employ it you must caver yourself with disaster."

THE Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company have recently been parties to the criminal prosecution of one OLIVER J. STIRK, who, in connivance with GROOM, an agent of the company in Pennsylvania, had the life of Mrs. STIRK insured for $5,000 when the lady was at the point of death from pulmonary disease, with which she had been for a long time previously afflicted. The papers in the case, including the doctor's examination and report of the sound health of deceased, were all forged. The case was heard in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, and STIRK was found guilty and was sentenced to six years and four months' imprisonment. GROOM, his associate, had fled his ball. It is the duty of insurance companies, for their own interest, and for the proper protection of their stockholders, to lake a similar course in all cases of manifest imposition.

THE New York "World" speaks of a meeting held in Steinwav Hall, in New York City, to consider "what can be done to lessen the swelling volume of crime," and announces the Hon. M. C. KERR, of Indiana, as one of the principal orators of the occasion. The Indianapolis "Journal" thinks "there is something ludicrous in this. Mr. KERR'S Congressional District is notorious for its lawlessness, and the whole State has been covered with a mantle of disgrace by the fiendish crimes of Mr. KERR'S constituents. Judge CYRUS L. DUNHAM stated, in a recent charge to a grand jury in Clarke county, that sixteen men had been hung by moba in KERR'S District within six years: mo.-e than had been judicially executed througout the entire State during that time Mr. KERR'S missionary labors would be vastly more serviceable at home than in Steinway Hall."

REFERRING to several recent and marked offences against the spirit of SUMNER'S Civil Rights bill, the "Times and Chronicle" lays it down as an established principle of law, both in England and America, that a hotel-keeper holds his establishment subject to the call of the public that, provided the accommodations of the hotel are not exhausted, he is not at liberty to refuse any ono whose condition is not such as to render his admission a physical discomfort to the guests already provided for. The traveling conveyances, both by land and water, stand on a like basis, and whatever distinction there may be in the class of apartments is purely a moneyed one. In aristocratic England, as well as in democratic America, positive interference with the rights of others is all that can exclude anv man from a "first class" apartment, provided he is willing to bear the extra pecuniary outlay.

THE "Express" represents lae "governing ring clique" county politics. That paper says everything is lovely and harmoniotu in its party at this time. That may be so far as the clique is concerned, bat how about Minshall, Thompson, Barbour, Noble, Hook, and the other side?—Journal.

The gentlemen whom the "Journal" ia nauseating by its sickly attempts at soft soap, are in perfect accord with the EXPRESS, not only in "county politics," but in State and National politics. In opposing instructions, they acted in entire harmony with the EXPRESS. And they will continue to act thus, we have no no doubt, in supporting the nominees of the Philadelphia Convention. The question of Presidential candidate is an open one, involving no principle—a merely personal matter, which Republicans will canvass with the greatest fredom. We think, now, that General GRANT will be the nominee, and if he is, there is not a Republican in this county who will re. fuse to vote for him. -i yar-'•

A SUPERANNUATED IDIOT, who vainly relies upon an abnormal development of bowels to eke out his melancholy lack of brains,—a creature who has been kicked out of every party to which he has tried to fasten himself, and has finally landed amid congenial surroundings in the vault which yawns at the terminus of the Democratic system of eewerage—speaks of the refusal of the County Convention to instruct delegates, as a rebuke to the EXPRESS. The truth is, of course, just the reverse. The only utterance of the EXPRESS on the question of instructions was contained in our issue of February 1st, and was as follows:

In this country, at the present time, we are making history rapidly. Between the 22d of February and the5ihof June there will be time for many changes which no wisdom nor sagacity can foretell or provide against. Let us choose delegates who can be trusted to represent our wishes, and not tie them with instructions that may possibly become embarrassing. This, in our opinion, is the part of true wisdom. The State Convention will, doubtless, indicate its friendliness to General Grant by a cordial endorsement of his administration.

This is precisely what was done by the Convention last Saturday. It declined to tie its delegates with instructions, but "indicated its friendliness to GRANT by a cordial endorsement of his administration."

THE effort of the Democratic press to make it appear that the Convention of last Saturday was unfriendly to GRANT, can only be successful with those who are ignorant of the facts. The resolutions cordially indorse the administration, while those who spoke most earnestly against the policy of instructing delegates, freely declared that if the Presidential nomination were to be made now, they should be in favor of nominating GRANT. But they did not deem it politic to bind delegates, who are to act three or four months from this date, because con tingencies may arise that would render such instructions injurious to the Republican party. These are the facts, as all who were present fully understand. The Convention was exceptionally, completely successful. Not an unkind word was spoken in the long debate,and the feeling among Republicans is that much good will result from the free interchange of opinion that the various resolutions elic ited. Free speech is a great element of strength in the Party of Freedom and Progress.

THE Cincinnati "Commercial's" Washington special recurs to the fact that the prosecutions of the KuKlux in South Carolina were suddenly suspended a few weeks ago because of the disagreement of the Circuit Judge and the District Judge sitting together for the trial of these causes. The cases were therefore certified tip to the Supreme Court of the United States. The points upon which the Court will be required to decide are as follow: First, as to whether or not, under the Enforcement Law of May 31, 1870, persons can be punished for committing a crime defined under the laws of the State and second, as to whether or not the right to bear arms is a right guaranteed by the Constitution, and to be protected under the Enforcement Act This will substantially test the validity of the act in question, and decide whether criminals shall be punished lor violating this law the same as those that are punished under the State law. This important question will be bronght up in a short time in the Supreme Court. Attorney General WILLIAMS and General BRISTOW will appear for the Government and REVERDY JOHNSON and HENRY STAHBERY for the KuKlux.

ADMITTING the truth of the assertion that the masses of France and Germany do not, as a rule, give way to habits of intemperance to the same extent as the masses of America and England, the Philadelphia "Press" urges that the reason lies not altogether in the use of the light wines so common in the former countries, but is found in the fact that here and in England, drinking is almost the sole recreation of the middle classes, while the Hanses and Jeans even of the lowest order have usually other sources of amusement. It would be well if our temperance societies would give more attention to this phase of the subject, for even, as the "Saturday Review" pointedly says, "if there were no diminution in the amount of liquor consumed, it would doubtless be better that men should, while drinking, play at some game which exercises their muscles, or, in however small a degree, their minds, than that they should be content to sit simply soaking and smoking in a dirty, ill-smelling, unventilated room." In their somewhat fanatical haste to do what experience has shown to be impossible—the entire eradication ofdrinking-places—our temperance friends overlook the real source of the evil. The workingman needs and will have recreation, and consequently takes that nearest at hand, thinking or caring little of its after-effects. If, therefore, we supply him with cheap and rational amusement, he will gladly accept it, and the cause of temperance be greatly the gainer.

COLONEL FORNEY assigns as a reasen for his resignation of the Philadelphia Custom-house collectorsbip, that the small politicians bothered him too much in the conduct of his newspaper. We have heard the dashing Holloway say the same, and threaten to give up the Indianapolis Post-office and edit the "Journal" exclusively. General Comly, of the Columbus "Journal," has repeatedly declared the Post-office to be a thorn in the flesh which he wished the President would plucfc out. Blakely.of the Chicago "Post," has long been tired of the pension agency and we know the revenue collectorship must sit heavy on the stomach of Mr. C.C. Fulton, of the Baltimore "American," who is nothing if not an independent journalist all the more so, as he has three or four brothers who are also office-holding editors. We have no doubt the President would do a great favor to these gentlemen by accepting their resignations, even without waiting for the formality of their being tendered. —St. Louis Democrat.

A WESTERN PAPER tells a story about two couples who stood up to be married before a non-observing clergyman, who permormed the ceremony for one pair, supposing the other man and woman were groomsman and bridesmaid. The reverend gentleman was "flabbergasted." to say the least, when he discovered that the latter had gone off on their wedding tour.

A Sensible Article.

In reply to an article in

tbe

"Tribune," which intimates that Indiana will vote against GRANT, the Evansville "Journal" makes some sensible remarks that accord so fully with our own views, and commend theniselv# so strongly to our approval, that we reprodutc them in full:

There is not a single prominent Republican politician or paper, in Indiana, that will oppose General Grant's re election, if he is nominated. There are no dissensions among Indiana Republicans, that we can hear of. While there may be some wbo would prefer that Gen. Grant would give place to some other man, they will sustain the party nominee, even though it be not their first choice. All the indications are favorable for a Republican triumph in.this State, if the convention on the 22d inst., acts judiciously and makes good nominations.

It will be observed, in the above paragraph from the "Tribune," it is not intimated that Illinois will not cast its vote for Grant, notwithstanding the serious defection of Senator Trumbull and the "Tribune." This is a significant admis sion of General Grant's strength, or their own weakness, that must be reassuring to the friends of the former.

We have not said that General Grant ought, or ought not, to be renominated. We have been disposed to leave that matter to the delegates who will be selected by the people. We have approved the main features of this Administration, and are confident they have met with the approval of the people. We cannot now recall a single pledge made by Gen. Grant, either in his letter accepting the nomination in 1868, his inaugural address, or his annual messages, which has not been honestly and faithfully carried out. His opponents have been unable to point to any failure on his part to make these pledges good. The opposition to his nomination for a second term, is mainly personal in its nature, an.l can not, in copsequence, have that weight with the people it would have, if based upon administrative blunders or usurpations. Yet, in selecting a presidential candidate, the Convention will, no doubt.considerthequestionfrom every possible stand point. If they are convinced that a sufficient numher of Republicans are so far Influenced by personal pique, or disappointment, as to indnce tbem to refuse to support General Grant, to endanger his election in case he should be nominated, they will, no doubt, yield to tbe necessities of the occasion, and chose a less objectionable candidate as a standard-bearer, however much a majority of tbe party may prefer him. We have no tear that the party will not be fairly represented in the Convention. The result in our own County Convention shows that all the clack and clatter about the office-holders controlling the appointment of delegates to the Convention is the thinnest kind of moonshine.

The Coming Convention—i he Candidates, &c. Special Dupatch to the Cincinnati Gaiette.l

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 12.

The political caldron has commenced boiling, and the excitement will increase from this time until alter tbe Republican State Convention, which meets on the 22d of February. Preliminary conventions were held in most of the counties on Saturday last. Almost every one yet heard from heartily indorsed the administration of President Grant, while the counties of Wayne, Dearborn, Vanderburg, Spencer, Gibson, and Decatur instructed the delegates to vote for instructions for Grant and Colfax at Philadelphia. All the excitement so far is on the Governor. The leading candidates are Harrison, Browne, and Orth. _As but few of the counties have voted instructions, it is difficult to tell who is tbe favorite. There is but little said about the subordinate officers, as they will be controlled somewhat by the nomination for Governor.

Clerk of the Supreme Court. From the Terre Haute Mail.] The candidacy of Capt. Jas. A. Bell, of Newport, for the Republican nomination for Clerk of the Supreme Court, seems to be received with general favor by the Republican press.

From the Vermillion Iranacripi.] Capt. James A. Bell seems to have the inside track for the nomination on the Republican State ticket for Supreme Court Clerk. We believe Vermillion county never had a name on the State ticket of either party. The Captain is in every way competent to fill the office with credit to himself and honor to the State. We hope to see him nominated, not that we expect to support him. He does not look for that, as we are sure a man with whom we agree in politics, and who is otherwise^ftjually as competent, will be up for our support, but if we cannot get a Democrat, (though we believe we can,) let us have Capt. James A. Bell.

THAT most retiresome of our public men, the Hon. Schuyler Colfax, having written a letter to the Indianapolis "Journal" declining the Presidential can didacy, we trust the good editors of the country will let him alone. If they persist in dragging him unwillingly forth again, we shall ask for an amendment to Sumner's supplementary civil rights bill, providing that no citizen shall be disturbed in his determination to seek the shades of private life, and that after a man has said for the forty first time that he is not a candidate, it shall be a high crime and misdemeanor to make him one. We are for the Hon. Schuyler against the world in this matter. Let him alone.—St. Louis Democrat.

COLONEL FORNEY having tendered his resignation, we may now look to see his good example followed in other places. Mr. Fulton, of the Baltimore "American," and Mr. Raster, of the Chicago "Staats Zeiturg," will no doubt place their respective revenue collectorships in the hands of the President immediate Iv Mr. Blakely of the Chicago "Post," we are sure, will not remain pension agent much longer and we are prepared at any moment to hear of the rifignation of Colonel Holloway, postmaster of Indianapolis and one of the editors of the "Journal" of that city and of General Comly, the genial and editorial postmaster of Columbus, and the accomplished postmasterial editor of the "Ohio State Journal." Let there be a clean and voluntary sweep of editorial office holders before the meeting of the Philadelphia Convention. All for the sake of harmony, you know.—bt. Louis Democrat•

h'J:

STREET.

History the. Tast Property Purchased fcy theVrexels, of Pfcilaiel*

fVom the Etenin# Ezprr$s, February 7.1 The great real estate operation in property on the southeast corner of Wall and Broad streets was actively discussed in financial circles to the close of the day. The exact terms of the purchase have been made public, from which we glean the fact that the price paid was §945,000. The property has a frontage of 78 feet on Wall street and 113J feet on Broad street. The purchasers are the Drexels, two of Philadelphia and one of ^ew York. It is officially announced that Mr. Childs, of Philadelphia, has no interest in the purchase His name was used in buying the small building on the corner of WsU and Broad streets, for a strategic purpose. He is, therefore, really one of the purchasers, although only to assist his friends by allowing them to use his name for the time being. The new building is to be erected in thespring, and a large portion of it will be rented for bankers' and brokers offices. The

Pe

rincipal office in the building will used by Messrs. Drexel, Morgan & Co. The old buildings now standing on this site have a history which covers some of the greatest speculative operations ever undertaken in Wall street, and in fact it may be said that the history of theae buildings is almost the history of speculation since the l«sue of paper money in 1862. For some time the gay and festive Tommy Warner had his office in No. 25 Wall street. Tommy is one of the characters of the street, and not to know him ia not to know Wall street. He has passed through many vicissitudes, and in his day has been a daring operator. He has been conneeted with some large operators at times, and in prosperity or adversity he has always been noted for being the same gay and "festive Tommy Warner. In the basement of No. 5 Broad street, the popular Frank Baker once held forth, and in this office Frank made and lost his tens of thousands with perfect equanimity. He passed through the great excitement of the Morse panic of 1864, and can now be seen almost daily floating around the street among his old friends. In No. 5 Broad street, Bailey, from Englewood—the great American pamphleteer—can still be found. Bailey earned this title from his pamphlet on the Hannibal ond St. Joseph Company, which broke down the shares and was the first step in the ruin of the Tammany Ring The politicians were loaded up with Hannible and St. Joseph shares when Bailey issued his memorable pamphlet. It is estimated that they lost at hast $5,000,000 by the fall in these shares, which was precipitated by Bailey and his pamphlet. No. 7 Broad street has a history great in speculative events. For years John M. Tobin, once the great leader of the street, had his principal account with Fearing & Campbell in this building. On the stoop of No. 7 Tobin used to hold forth from morning until night, and around him could be seen the leading men of his day. On the stoop could frequently be seen Leonard Jerome, the polite Fearing, the chivalric Burr, Larry Jerome,

Daniel Drew, George McLean, Jenkins Van Schaick, and other noted characters of the day. On this stoop Tobin used to hold court like a king, and the brokers fluttered around him like loving subjects, all anxious to get orders. In No. 7 Tobin made and lost millions, and here was planned and carried to successful conclusion the great Hudson River "corner," which resulted in a difference of 30 per cent, between cash and regular stock before it culminated. Tobin has long since left Wall street, and is now engaged in increasing the national wealth by cultivating a farm on Staten Island. The fame and glory of stoop No. 7 Broad street has departed. The polite and dressy Fearing made a fortune, and had the sagacity to retire from the street. Leonard Jerome and other notables are now seldom seen in Wall street. Of late years the dashing Ben. Carver has figured in No. 7, Broad street, but he, too, has left the building although he left it with a fortune, which is more than many other operators can say. No. 9 Broad street also has an interesting history. For years Berry fed the hungry brokers in this building, but finally became a capitalist and retired. Then the National Stock Exchange, which was to turn the financial world upside down, took possession. This institution did not flourish long, and finally passed into bankruptcy—or "where the woodbine twineth Afterwards the firm of Willard, Martin & Bach occupied the ground floor of this building, and during their occupancy the portals have been frequently crossed by men prominently connected with railroads, finance and speculation, such as Jay Gould, Daniel Drew, F. A. Lane, Henry Smith, and others. Here large speculative operations have been planned and carried out. When these buildings become things of the past, then the landmarks of some of the most gigantic speculations on the Stock Exchange will be obliterated. Could the fortunes which have been made and lost in the precincts of these buildings be correctly estimated, then we believe the total would reach a figure perfectly startling. The master-minds of speculation which once inhabited these buildings and directed their movements therefrom have nearly all passed out of financial existence, except in the case of No. 9 Broad street. These historic buildings, therefore, are mere shells of their former financial greatness, and it is well that thev are to be swept from existence by the march of improvement and the enterprise of capitalists.

Colonel Forney's Resignation. The following is a part of a Washington dispatch which appeared in the Philadelphia "Press" yesterday, and is known to embody the views of Colonel FORNEY "While he was Collector of the Port, if he wrote an article in favor of President Grant's administration, some superserviceible knave would hasten to exclaim tint the Colonel was paid for his praises of power, and if he has ventured to denounce some local politicians, or refused to join the scandal against a statesman like McClure, an older and better Republican than some who have been hunting him down, he would be characterized as an ingrate to that same power. Thus he had to choose between the shame of being a slave, or a parasite. He has decided to be neither. His great desire is to unite the Republccan party of Pennsylvania, and to this end he will^ work steadily on his return to his editorial duties. He feels that it is time to cry "Halt!" once more to the desperate men who were trying to use the name of Gen eral Grant to keep them in or help them to offices. He believes in the conciliation of the old disaffected anti-slavery leaders of the country. He pleads for good relations between Grant and Sumner, between Grant and Greeley, between Grant and Fenton, and insists that what Mr. Lincoln did with the men dissatisfied with his administration Grant ought to do with the men dissatisfied with his."

SENATOR SCHURZ dodged the final vote on the amnesty bill. He voted against the civil rights amendment, and then, finding that that was adopted in spite of him, he folded his tent like the Arabs and silently stole away. It is jnsfitke Carl to doa mean thing of that sort. We have investigated him from all points of the compass, and find him to be a bad lnflictioa. Blair didn't dodge. He said "No," like a man and a Copperhead.—St. Lou if Democrat.

The London Times of January 26th says of the Geneva arbitration that the pro tocol of May 4th, 1871, has been complied with, and that the provisions of subsequent articles are sufficient to show that claims for indirect losses were not contemplated. Whether claims for direct losses are admirable, in respect to all vessels comprised in the American list, is a question left open by the treaty, and therefore properly cognizable by the Arbitrators. It argues that Great Britain would have terminated the treaty conference, had it been understood that the demand was to be made for losses by the prolongation of the war that agreement is entirely one-3ided, so that the arbitrators have to judge of the conduct of England by rules that are unjust.

BALTIHOPE

FUNERAL.

BALTIMORE, February 12.—An immense throng blocked all the streets adjacent to the Cathedral, as early as nine o'clock this morning, to attend the funeral ceremonies of Archbishop Spaulding. At each gate leading to the Cathedral a strong force of police was stationed to aid the Young Men's Catholic Friends' Society in carrying out the programme of arrangements, and preserving order. About 9:30 o'clock the different Catholic Societies began to arrive, and, assisted by the police, succeeded in reaching the places assigned them along Charles and Franklin streets. The Papal Zouaves, company of young men from St.^ James' Church, numbering sixty, were uniformed in gray, trimmed with red, and bore small rifles. Delegations were present from Philadelphia. Two colored societies appeared in line. At 9:30 the side door of the Cathedral was ojened to pewholders and reporters of tne press, and very soon the Cathedral was filled in every part except the space reserved for the attending clergy. The formation of the line was concluded about a quarter to ten o'clock. In a few moments the Cathedral bell was tolled, and the bells of St. Alphonious rung a requiem. The muffled drums sounded a slow march, and the Papal Zouaves moved up above the front gate and formed in double file with arms reversed. The solemn cortage then began descending the steps to the Arch Episcopal residence. It was headed by three young men in the center, one carrying a large crucifix, and those on each side large lighted candles. These were followed by the priests of different churches, and students, solemnly chanting, and dressed in the robes of their office. The next in order were Mast Rev. Bishops Foley and Wheelan, dressed in deep purple trailing robes, supported by boys. They participated in singing, and were followed by other priests, also chanting. These were followed by a large number of gentlemen. Next came the bier and coffin, drapped in black cloth, and almost hidden nnder a profusion of the choicest flowers, arranged in crosses and garlands, supported by six pall bearers, members of the Archbishop's Council. The Trustees of the Cathedral acted as honorary pall bearers, and the clergy of the Arch Diocese as assistant pall bearers to the members of the council. As the procession passed along, a most respectable silence prevailed. The members of the different societies ragged along the sidewalks, with their banners draped in mourning, raised their hats, and the whole assemblage intuitively followed their example. After the procession entered, the church gates were closed, and religious services commenced.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

All the Jear Konml.

And in all parts of the world, tho elements of disease are present in the air, tho soil and tho water, in a greater or less degree, and therefore the Great Vegetable Antidote to these invisible enemies of health, llostetter's Stomach Bitters, is invaluable as a house hold medicine at all seasons and in every latitude. At no period ot tho year is a regulating and corrective medicine more needed than toward the close of winter, when tho sun and rain are beginning to broak up the winter blockade, and from the softening soil arises that terrible miasma, which weighs like an incubus upon the vital machinery, and depresses the animal spirits. It is thon that tho seeds of intermittent and remittent fevers, of rheumatism and rheumatic gout, of obstinate stomach complaints, of disorders of tho liver and bowels, and a whole host of pulmonary and nervous complaints are sown.

The best, the surest way to prevent this disastrous feeding is to invigorate and refresh the system with a course of the Bitters. If this precaution be taken note, there will bo no danger ot the miasmatio germs taking root in the fluids and tissues of the body, and bringing forth terrible lruit in the spring. Now is the time lor prevention- hemember that vigor is the only safeguard against the virus ef disease, and that Hostetter's bitters is tho purest, the safest, the most ppwerlul and perleat invigorant ever administered, either as protective medicine or a remedy. A change ot season appioaches which almost always proves more or less disastrous to persons of a weak, nervi us ornauUation. Brace at once with the leading Tonic of the age. Purge Irom the blood all morbid matter, strengthen the nerves, and regulate and purity tho secretions with the Vegetable Elixir, which combines the juices of the finest medicinal roots, herbs and barks, with the most wholesome ot ail diflusivo stimulants.
