THE House, not being blest with so many "grea statesmen" 88 the Senate, transacts its business more rapidly and with less wrangling.

A WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT remarks that when the vote was taken to lay SUMNER'S malignant preamble on the table, it was a curious spectacle, and, as Mr. MORTON said, a confession of judgment, to see SUMNER, SCHURZ & Co., vote to kill their own bantling, which was strangled out of existence by a vote of 40 to 1.

ON TUESDAY, March 12th, the State of New Hampehire opens the political campaign of 1872. The election will be for a Governor, members of the Legislature, and other State officers.

Liberal Republican speeches in Congress furnish the campaign documents.

THE Committee of the Cincinnati Chambers of Commerce and Board of Trade, which recently visited the block coal regions of Clay county, examined as to the best point in the West for the location of Bessemer steel works, smelling furnaces and rolling mills, and determined that Terre Haute was that point.

Dr. CARL BOTH has written a treatise on small-pox, in which he endeavors to maintain that no person can ever have that disease who makes a proper use of gait. He maintains that three-quarters of the children of our cities do not eat as much salt food as they ought, and are therefore subject to the scarlet fever, measles, chicken-pox or small-pox, according to circumstances. He says it is impossible for a person to have any of these diseases whose blood is sufficiently impregnated with salt. This theory is ingenious and may be true.

ALLUDING to the long Senate debate on the sale of arms, the New York "Times' charges that Mr. SCHURZ and his friends are trying to prove to the world that our Government has been guilty of a much more flagrant breach of international law than ever England committed. The time chosen is opportune -just when we are claiming damages for acts not half, so bad as Schurz alleges against our own Government. And Schurz thinks that New Hampshire will vote for the Democrats on the strength of this "case Is he not a very sagacious statesman, as well as an ardent patriot?

THE little discrepancy of some three or four millions of dollars between the amount paid our Government by France for arms, and the amount received into the Treasury on that account, excites attention but Administration papers say it is a trifle-—Journal.

Of course there isn't one particle of truth in that statement. The United States government never sold arms to France, but did sell surplus ordnance of all kinds to private parties, and the amount received from such sales corresponds exactly with the Treasurer's books It is altogether likely that France paid more for arms than was paid for them by the men who bought them of the United States.

A COMPART of wealthy iron men at Indianapolis, including W. O. ROCKWOOD, J. M. LORD, A. JONES and JOHN THOMAS, have organized a company to manufacture Bessemer steel in that city. A company of capitalists have also arranged to enter upon the manufacture of railroad cars at the same place.

THE trial of the celebrated BARNES will case is set for the 9th inst. A change of venue has been taken from Vanderburg to Posey county. This case involves the validity of the will of ROBERT BARNES which plaees the bulk of his large estate in the hands of the State Spiritual Association for educational purposes.

CABL HEINZEN, in the Davenport "Democrat," thus pays his respects to his old friend: "Mr. SCHURZ, at the time of the Franco German war, had neither the will nor the courage to inveigh, in behalf of the Germans and of Germany, against the French arms scandal but now that there is a question of France's and England's interests, he readily finds both."

G. S. ORTH, the Radical candidate for Congressman-at-Large, stcod at the head of a KuKlux Klan known as Know Nothings, in this State, a few years ago. —Aurora Borealis.

Do you mean to say that the many eminent Democrats who formerly belonged to that organization, were KuKlux? What will the "Journal" say to that?

OUR citizens are not likely to forget, very soon, how the Democratic police force was employed at the last city election nor will it be forgotten that scores of laborers were put on, as a set up job, to help out the Democracy in their desperate struggle. And yet, with such facts as these fresh in public memory, the "Journal" grumbles at the employment of the same number of regular police that were deemed necessary during the entire term of Democratic rule!

THE Indianapolis "Journal" is responsible for the following apt quotation from the Bible (1st Samuel, chapter 22, verses 1 and 2) as prophetical of the position of Judge DAVID DAVIS, the candidate of the "Labor Reform party." It is worthy of perusal, as follows: "David therefore departed, thence, and escaped to the Cave Addullam and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him. "And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him and he became captain over them and there were with him about four hundred men."

A BILL is now before Congress providing for some compensation to the widow and orphans of Admiral DAHLGREN for the use of his ordnance inventions from their first introduction in 1849 up to the present time. Upon this snbject the New York "Tribune" sensibly says: "If Admiral DAHLGREN had been a private citizen, and Bold his guns to the nation, his children would now be millionaires. But because he was an officer, and one full of patriotism and devotion, he received nothing for his inventions, and left no estate to his family. Even their pious purpose of building a monument to Gen. ULRIC DAHLGREN, the youngest and most chivalrous of our martyrs, is frustrated by this lack of means. If there beany justification for legislative grants of money for which the nation is not legally bound, it would be hard to imagine a Btronger case than this. But Congress will, we trust, decide the question pro or con on its abstract merits."

ACCORDING to the New York "Evening Post," the proper authorities have" enforced their dignity among the dia mond miners of South Africa with a commendable promptness, of which we find no parallel in the early history of our own Western and Pacific States. Not only hasjustice been turned into its proper and regular channel, but several persons have been arrested and punished as prominent "lynchers." The English settlers by whom the diamond fields are peopled have been educated to a respect for authority utUrly unknown among the republican sovereigns who assumed control of California in its early days. "Stumpy," Oakhurst, "Kentuck" and the other citizens of Roaring Camp, and even the members of camps less obnoxious to criticism, were made of very different stuff from that which composes the adventurers of Cape Colony. Prominent "lynchers" arrested, indeed! American miners would have elected them mayors and Aldermen of their canvass cities, and loaded them with other distinguished honors as marks of special regard. Can there be a lack of enterprise among the diamond seekers which does not promise well for their future greatness a3 a sovereign people?

THE Rev. W. W. Curry, who has been actively engaged for many years in abusing every religious denomination but his own, has, since his nomination for Secretary of State, been trying to curry favor with them, but they don't curry worth a cent.—Evansville Courier.

There are two deliberate violations of the truth. Mr. CURRY has always had the reputation, among all religious denominations, of being a courteous gentleman, never dealing in vituperation or abuse. His relations with all the clergymen of this city have always been pleasant, and he is respected by the membership of "every religious denomination" as well as those who belong to no church. Nor has he, since his nomination, turned aside from his usual avocation, to "cuTy favor" with any man or set of men. When the campaign opens, Mr. CURRY will be found one of the most effective speakers on a ticket remarkable for brilliant oratory. He depends on logic and facts, and few men in the State excel him in the power of convincing an audience.

MR. BOWEN, of the "Independent," publishes an account of his recent interview and conversation with Senator SUMNER, whom he describes to have expressed himself opposed to Gen. GRANT'S renomination but, at the same time, expressed no disposition whatever to leave the Republican party. He did not say that he would oppose the ticket with Senator WILSON'S name, or any other name attached to it a3 the candidate for Vice President. He only referred to Gen. GRANT and to his personal renomination. He declared himself favorable to any good Republican ticket, with Gen

GRANT'S name left off. It is extremely unlikely that Mr. SUMNER'S personal preference will control the Philadelphia Convention.

THE editor of the "Times and Chronicle" has been consulting newspaper files of 1864, and has learned that, at this •tage of the preliminary Presidential canvass eight years ago, fifteen States had declared, through Legislative caucus or bv convention, in favor of the renomination of President LINCOLN, but still the opposition to him was very strong if not nearly universal in Congress. Only about half as many States have as yet been committed in this way to the renomination of President GRANT, but a large majority of Congressmen are in his favor. When the National Convention of 1864 assembled, every State was for LINCOLN, with the tingle exception of Missouri, which, be it remembered, voted in the first instance fbr U. S. GRANT, but changed to LINCOLN before the result was declared.

The Faction in the Senate. Very many very good Republicans differ about General GRANT'S personal merits, but it is unlikely that any Republican doubts that the success of his administration will determine the party to renominate and re-elect him. Without a revulsion of popular feeling, such as has never been witnessed in this country, and never occurs anywhere without some act of monstrous folly or crime, of which nothing in the President's life suggests an apprehension, his retention in the White House is as certain as the retention of the White House in Washington, His ad Ministration is a fair expression of Republican sentiment. Being so, those who oppose it, not in specific acts or measures, but in spirit aBd general conduct, who are striving to make it appear the abettor of corruption, or the tool of favorites who seek to array against it the force of foreign prejudices, are assailing the Republican party, and imperiling every principle that is made operative by Republican predominance. If tl.e party goes down, no matter upon what pretext of administration errors, or under what combination of rebel hatred, traditional antagonism and imported prejudice, there will go with it every security for therights of the freedman, every safeguard of national credit, and every hope of a speedy relief from sectional quarrels. Any hostile alliance must be controlled by the strongest of the allies, the Democracy, or it must drop to pieces. If the main element guides it, we know what the result will be, for we know what the rebel Democracy demand, and the rebel constituest is now, as it has always been, the source of the definite purposes and positive actions of the party. If the more liberal element is allowed to neutralize the other, the combination will last no longer than the time necessary to disclose this fact. The Republicans who are resisting the administration, and holding themselves out for Democratic attachment, are, therefere, preparing either to undo the work of the war, and of their own labored legislation, or they are making an unhooped barrel of rotten staves, to fall apart from the first motion from the inside, or outside either. They are trying to beat their party, either to erase all that the party has done since the 4th of March, 1861, or to do nothing at all, and just for the "fun" of it.

If this conclusion denies to the Senatorial recusants, SUMNER, TRUMBULL and SCHURZ—we don't count TIPTON, of Nebraska, for he is like a "minus" quantity in algebra, a considerable diminution of anything he is added to—motives of national honor or liberal statesmanship, and rests their conduct on nothing more creditable than personal feeling, to which they are ready to sacrifice what they have hitherto declared to be their principles, we cannot help it. The inevitable effect of their action, which we will no! suppose they cannot see, forbids any other. Mr. SUMNER knows that every blow he strikes at the administration is a blow at the prosperity of the policy that he likes to be considered the founder of, and over which,-if he didn't lay the egg, he certainly did the most cackling. Yet he has done little else than assail the administration for two sessions. Mr. TRUMBULL is in the same position, with the same record, and the same certainty of what his efforts must do, if they do anything. They both know that they are aiding the Democracy, and that the sole dependence of the Democracy is just this sort of aid. They both know that if there were no more hope of defeating the Republicans than Democrats build upon the consciousness of their own strength, the election of 1872 would be such a "walking over the track" as has never been seen since WASHINGTON'S day. The Democratic trust is in Republican dissensions, and Mr. SUMNER and Mr. TRUMBULL are feeding it into some fullness of flesh and energy. Wedo not say or believe that they want to see the Republican principle overthrown, but they do not want to see the Republican organization broken, their conduct is the wildest riddle we ever encountered. And how they expect to see the one maintained without the other, is equally inexplicable.

As to Mr. SCHURZ, we feel at no loss for a "sounding lead" to reach the bottom, and haul up specimens of his motives. He does not care whether the Republican party is beaten or not, or, if he does, his preference is to have it beaten. That he has now, or ever had, a thorough selfforgetting devotion to any party or principle, we dojnot believe He has as much pliancy of conscience a3 intellect, and he has always used both for his own service above all others- His talents, though considerable, are showy and cheap, and alone would never have given him more prominence than belongs to a political "Condottiero" and a military failure. It is his German birth and present German influence that makes liim what he is. Put the same talents and the same egotism, the same intensity of personal rancor and the same indifference to political principles, into a native American, and he would be rated a little above BLAIR and a little below Cox. He knows the strength of his position as an assumed exponent of German feeling, and he is quite as unscrupulous in using this feeling, as DICK BRIGHT was in using State paper. His demonstration upon the sale of arms to the French is as much proof as any sensible man wants on this point. That he aims solely to detach the German element from the Republican party is just as evident as that he made his speech in Washington and not in St. Louis. That he hopes to hold this large vote at his bidding, and apply it as suits his own purposes, is as inevitable an inference as can be drawn from a man's acts as to his motives. That he wants to manage a "balance of power" is the revelation he makes of himself. For the mischief of arraying naturalized agaiost native citizens^ of provoking a return of the evils of Know Nolhingism, of imperiling the results of the war and the condition of the negro, by splitting the power that maintains both, he cares as little as any egotist ever cared, for raising a storm that might float his foam on the surface. A glance at the facts will show thife.

Our government has been eelKng arms ever since the close of the war. All governments sell more or less of their equipments after a war, partly because they have more than they need, and want money in their place, and partly because they want to get better ones when they get any. Ours were bought by anybody that paid for them. When the FrenchGerman war broke out we kept on as we had been doing, changing nothing for a conflict in which we had no national in terest, however great might be our individual sympathies. This was natural and inevitable, unless the arms had all been sold first. Of course French agents got some of them, when the wholesalesurren der that followed Sedan diminished the stock of French arms. The government did not sell to them, nor with any know! edge that they got them. German agents could, and would have got arms in the same way, as readily, if Germany had not captured arms enough to dispense with purchases. But if the government could be reasonably blamed for not searching to the bottom the pretensions and business connections of Remington and every man to whom it sold arms, in whose mouth shall the blame lie, if the power against which the arms were used does not urge it? Clearly in nobody's. If Germany did not care enough for our ordinary, matterof course sale of rifles to say anything about it, there can be no just occasion for anybody, least of all any American, to bring it into judgment. Germany made no complaint, for.ebe hednothing to com

plain of. The censure comes from Mr. SCHURZ and his associates, clearly not to do right to a power that has alledged no wrong. To do what, then? To excite German animosity to the administration and the party that sustains it. There is no other purpose possible. No acuteness of casuistry can discover the semblance of any other motive. No man in the Union believes that there is any other motive. It is the act of a demagogue utterly indifferent to all consequences that do not affect his personal position. If he makes anew "Know Nothing" crusade by setting Germans against natives, he don't care. He thinks he will be the biggest man among the Germans, and to be the biggest man somewhere is the source of all that he ever did, said or devised. He has put his foot in the first step of the most perilous path of policy, in this arraying of national prejudices, that can be opened in this land since slavery disappeared. The antagonism of nativities is the rock ahead now, and this unscrupulous man is trying with all his strength to force us upon it But he overrates his influence as much as he underrates the intelligence of the German masses. He will be more astonished than any one else at the small number that will rally under his leadership.

Between T»»fW«

A correspondent of the New York "World" writes from Charleston, South Carolina, a letter delightful in its inconsistency. He is satisfied that GKANT in some way or other is to be defeated, and says that "two years after he goes into retirement South Carolina will be Democratic, and that, too, by the aid of the negro vote." In this connection, the following lines from the same correspondence are of interest: "The Radical party here consists of a mere handful of white men, mostly Yankees, and all officeholders, with nearly the entire negro population of the State. The former control the party because they are upheld, no matter what outrages they commit, by the influence of the General Government. Let that be withdrawn, and they would fly from the country to escape the handcuffs and the halter, and the party would be leaderless two years atter GRANT goes into retirement." There is a bid for the negro vote but the bitter writer cannot control his feelings, and evinces his hostility and that of his party to the colored race in the subjoined remarkable paragraph

I have been rather surprised to find how many are beginning to admit that, upon the whole, th# South is better without the

BO

called system of "slavey" than

it was with it. The planters Bay they get better crops out of the negroes, and cotton costs less to make than when they had the burden of supporting the idle and infirm hands and their families. In old times there was a considerable percentage of "slaves" who were continually striving by divers ingenious devices to "cheat massa" out of the amount of service he believed himself to be entitled to. Now the laborer is hired for just what he is worth: if he is a second- or third class hand, he gets wages only in proportion to his usefulness. While admitting, however, that the new labor system is better than the old, the Carolina planters are not willing to concede that free negroism is a good thing either for the negroes or whites, or that both races would not be benefited by return to a system of negro subordination'. "Slavery" nobody wants back, but a readjustment of the relations between whites and blacks in accordance with the natural law, the superior directing the. labor and caring for the welfare of the inferior, is what these planters believe will come when the reaction from Radicalism finds its bottom. As for the moral condition ot the negroes since emancipation, it has not improved.

The Philadelphia "Press" copies the foregoing, and remarks that it is difficult to carry water on both shoulders, and the Democracy make a comic spectacle of themselves in attempting the feat. They would have the negro support, and are willing fb praise the negro to get it, but they must conciliate the old slaveholders and their sympathizers, and this cannot be done save by treating the negro as an inferior. Certainly tliey are between two fi

COLONEL FORNEY publishes an account of the manner in which General GRANT was first brought out as a Presidential candidate, and attributes it to an article in the Washington Chronicle in November, 1867. The St. Louis "Democrat" says: ,-

This is not correct. The first man to nominate General Grant was the Hon. Ben. Eggleston, of Cincinnati, in a speech delivered from the second story window of the Cincinnati "Gazette" office, on the night of the 8th of October, 1867. There had been a State election in Ohio that day, and as the returns began to come in, it looked very much as if Judge Thurman, the Democratic candidate, had defeated General Hayes, the Republican candidate. Subsequently it turned out that Hayes was elected by a small majority. The same day General Sam. Cary had very unexpectedly beaten Mr. Richard Smith, of the Cincinnnti "Gazette," for Congress. Mr. Smith had, by a strictly moral canvass, as well as by the well known virtue and purity of his private life, united the worldly-minded element against him, and been badly defeated by General Cary. Ben. Eggleston was called upon to give consolation to the watting multitude in front of the "Gazette" office, and he announced that the next Presidential candidate of the Republican party would be General Grant. This was received with loud shouts of applause, and the newspapers of the country very soon took the matter up and seconded the motion with great vigor and unanim ity-

TnE New York "Times" ha\the following solemn reflections on the abuses of the franking privilege, as witnessed by iis Washington correspondent: "CABL SCHURZ'S last three speeches have been printed in a pamphlet of thirty-two pages. Yesterday subscription lists were circulated, and the Democrats subscribed largely, some taking five hundrei copies each, but not a Republican would touch them. Perhaps it will interest Mr GREELEY, and the sneaks who spy out Congressmen's private business, for him to know that these documents are folded at the government expense, and, like the •'Tribune," sent into New Hampshire to defeat the Republican ticket. This is all done, of course, with Mr. SCHURZ'S full consent, and it is believed, also, at his di rect wish."

IN ORDER to show the "Drift of Politi cal Discussion,"—to fairly exhibit popu lar thought as reflected by the newspaper press,—the New York "Tribune" quotes edelusively from Democratic' newspapers 1 This is the depth which GREELEY has reached, and the tendency is still down ward. There was a HORACE GREELEY some years ago, who would sooner have hanged himself than use the "Tribune" against his own principles and party.

TERRE-HAUTE, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 6. 1872. {PAYABLE IN ADVANCE

IN a speech at the first grand rally of the Republicans in the New Hampshire canvass, at Concord, Ex-Governor HARBISON said: "If General GRANT had come up from the South, and gone with fire and sword through Pennsylvania, the Democrats would have remembered and told of his great exploits. The trouble with the Democrats is that GRANT fought on the wrong side. The finances of the nation are sound its bonds stand high in the world its securities are eagerly taken in all nations at low rates, and over one hundred millions a year are paid on the public debt." That tells the whole story in a few words—better than a volume.

THE Temperance party in Connecticut is formidable. Seeing nothing which could induce the body to choose between the Republican and Democratic parties, the members have set up for themselves and the Springfield "Union" says that thoee who figure on the result of the approaching election on the supposition that the temperance vote will not amount to anything, may find themselves mistaken. For the first time the prohibitionists have, this year, affected a complete political organization. They have a full State ticket in the field, and propose make distinct nominations in every Senatorial District where the leading parties, or one of them, does not offer a candidate for whom they can consistently vote. There are in the State 151 lodges of Good Templars, and if the influence of this organization is thrown for the temperance ticket, it will be by no means contemptible. fnV 'K

IN an interesting article on "The Arms Inquiry," the St. Louis "Democrat" remarks that the simple fact that the inquiry could have been had without discussion or delay, shows that inquiry was not the thing wanted. What was wanted was "to beat GRANT." Desperation is a marvelous quickener of ingenuity, and the politicians who have undertaken to crush the man of the Wilderness have frown desperate. They have fought "ong and well, yet the people stolidly believe in him. Therefore legislation must be deferred, appropriation bills must be thrust aside, reform bills must wait, every interest depending upon Congressional action must suffer, Germany must be invited to claim consequential damages, and Britain encouraged to break the treaty that withholds two nations from war, simply that impassioned rhetoric and vicious logic may be promulged to beat GRANT.

SENATOR MORTON, in a recent speech, dealt some strong blows to the Missouri Liberal Republican movement, and exposed the hollowness of their professions, showing that their resolutions do not differ essentially from those of the doctrines of the Democracy. That one de claringthe KuKlux law unconstitutional, he was especially severe upon, declaring that the KuKlux themselves would be willing to stand on such a platform. We quote as follows from the report of the speech: "Speaking of the causes for suspending the habeas corpus act, Mr. MORTON said there was still a rebellion existing at the South, with a regular military organization, armed with better arms than those that were sold by the Chief of Ordnance and which afterwards passed into the hands of the French. He bad heard it said, and he believed, that more men had been killed and wounded by the KuKlux in the South during the last, four years than were killed in the war of 1S12."

ONE of our exchanges notices the fact— flattering to our national pride—that watch manufacturing, a branch of industry which the free traders insisted was the inalienable property of our foreign rivals, has within a few years been developed to extensively and successfully in this country as to seriously interfere with the monopoly hitherto enjoyed by the watchmakers of Geneva, Liverpool and other European watch producing centers in supplying the great and profitable American market. In the month of Decemher, 1870, watches to the value of $416,588 were received at the port of New York. For the corresponding month last year, the value of this description of time pieces entered at the same port, aggregated but $296,697, a decrease of $119,891 in a single year. These figures incontestibly prove that the makers of American watches are rapidly eclipsing the fame of their more experienced but less ingeuious and experienced brethren across the water, and that American mechanical ingenuity is superior to European in everything from the forging of an anchor to the adjustment of a pocket chronometer.

MR. WENDELL PHILLIPS, after navmg ived to see the yearning of his heart and goal of his ambition, the abolition of human slavery consummated, has come to the sad conclusion that, this brave, rich young land of ours is not worth living in, on account of its intrinsic wickedness The capitals of the Old World are more to the Boston orator's liking. He says:—

In the face of the Toryism and the despotism of Europe, we dare not write New York and New Orleans beside Paris and Berlin. You may load your fingers with diamonds and fill your pockets with gold, and cover your neck with pearls, and walk up and down the Strand at midnight, and be certain to come home in the morning but no man would ever try that experiment on Broadway without making his will.

The editor of the Philadelphia "Inquirer" thinks it would be a rare sight to see Mr. PHILLIPS try his walking advertisement of a jeweler's shop in the British metropolis. But the orator is evidently in utter ignorance as to the number and adroitness of British thieve?. Mr. PHILLIPS lives in innocence of the well known fact that the bold robberies in American cities are committed by European scoundrels, who, by their awkwardness or rashness have becomc known to the police. Fervid eloquence and practical knowledge are certainly not inseparable companions in this, according to Mr. PHILLIPS, utterly degraded land of ours.

DR. JOHN DAY contributes an essay to the "Australian Medical Journal" on a 'Means of Arresting the Spread of Smallpox." By his method the germs which propagate the disease are perfectly destroytd.

His doctrine is that small-pox is always associated with pus-cells, and the only way of destroying them is by oiidation. He advises the use of peroxide of hydro gen as the agent for rapidly and thoroughly oxidizing and destroying the virus germs given oS from the bodies of small-pox patients. Peroxide of hydrogeB, which, according to SCHONBEIN, is composed of antozone and water in a state of chemical combination, undergoes a remarkable change in the presence of blood, and by mere contact with the corpuscles its antozone is rapidly transformed into ozone—the oxygen of combination. The particular form in which he recommends the use of peroxide of hydrogen is that known as ozone ether, being a compound of absolute ether and peroxide of hydrogen. It is highly volatile, and may be diffused through, even very large apartments, such as the wards of hospitals, by means of a spray apparatus. It quickly destroys sulphuretted hydrogen and other noxious gases, and when once diffused is very persistent in its action. As collodion, cold cream and lard are sometimes used as topical applications in the treatment of small-pox, ozone ether can be mixed with any of these substances without undergoing any perceptible change in its chemical properties.

AN exchange notices the not very melancholy fact that society jourBals do not prosper. "Our Society," the chief of them all, has had a precarious existence. It did well for awhile, but the nobodies who at first were delighted with the appearance of their name* in print soon tired of what ceased to be a novelty, and withdrew their support. Those who moved in high society objected to such publications, and it received no encouragement from them From time to time various disclosures were made, which caused strange suspicions as to the kind of society some of the attaches of the journal took moet kindly to, and the paper suffered in consequence. It joined its fortunes after many changes of management, with those of a bright theatrical sheet ("The Season") but the partnership was of short duration, and "Our Society" is again "paddling its own canoe." It will buffet the waves awhile vet, but must ere long meet with a perfectly natural fate.

A Nice Point.

from the St. Louit Democrat.] There is a certain point of propriety at issue in the United States Senate, and we hope it will be satisfactorily settled before long. Let us explain: Mr. Schurz and Mr. Sumner trump up the vilest conceivable charges against the Administration, and consider themselves exemplary patriots for doing so. Mr. Conkling suggests an inquiry into the motives of Mr. Schurz, and he is met with the loftiest scorn and the most abject contempt. From this it would appear that it is always in order to suppose that the Presi dent acted from the worst of impulses, but it is never correct to intimate that a Senator who opposes the Administration is not prompted solely by considerations of the public good. Again: Mr. Trumbull arraigns the Administration for making corrupt and incompetent appointments, and thereby proves himself a statesman of great merit. Mr. Morton tries to ascertain how many of these bad appointments were recommended by Mr. Trumbull and thereupon Mr. Morton is treated with solemn and inexpressible contempt by Mr. Trumbull, as if the former had done something beneath the dignity of a Senator. Now, we would like to see the line drawn in this important matter. We would like to know where that high moral code comes from which holds a President to such strict accountability, while at the same time it gives such unrestricted liberty to a Senator. As it stands at present, it is quite too much for our comprehension.

Mr. Astor said he hesitated for a moment, passed the proposition through his mind, saw its advantages—for a hundred dollars was a hundred dollars in thoi»e days—and accepted the offer.

More Pet Names.

The Democratic papers of the State are furnishing a supplement for Dick's list of pet names for 11s. The Boone County "Pioneer," whose subscribers subsist on ginseng, sassafras and goose eggs, and wear sprigs of pennyroval in their boot straps in the summer to keep off the seed ticks, says we are "a malicious liar and false swearer before the country.' "The poor devil at the head of the 'Jour nal' is the kindly appellation bestowed upon us by the Covington "Friend." The Madison "Progress" is far behind, and has heard of the side bar remark of that eminent statesman, Hon. James Hughes, in which he expressed the belief that our alimentary canal, mesentar"- gland*, liver, stomach, bowels, tel.. were afflicted with a want of veracity. For vigor, originality and comprehensiveness of epithet, we are inclined to the belief, that the Lo gansport "Pharos" ii entitled to the palm.

By it we are called "a waspish and vi perous traducer, a convicted perjurer and maligner, a base born and contemptible demagogue." Not one of them calls us a "booby." Dick is the sole proprietor of that appellation, as well as of the ironclad warehouse.—Ind. Journal.

BERLIN, which is not much addicted to social sensation, has lately been enjoying one. Two young ladies, sisters, disappeared, but shortfy afterward, tempered the blow to their shorn by letting {.hem know that tbey still inhabited this wicked world, aad were in London. Having fallen desperately in love wirh the same young man, who is described as an Adonis, they felt that thi/ could only find happiness and respectability in be coming his wives. They had, therefore! taken passage for this country, en route for Salt Lake City, where, perhaps, they will arrive a day or too late for the fair, news of Mormonism being at a disadvan tage having probably not reached them when they left. However, as it is intimated that these interesting young persons took care before starting to help themselves as far as they could to the dower which th«y thought becoming, thev will no doubt manage to get along.—A' Y.

THE "arms investigation" has not "ruined Gen. Grant," as Schurz—who is known as the "adventurer" in hia own State—declared it would do. Schurz was the greatest toady any President ever had until he failed to get all the offices he wanted, and then lie turned round and became a "patriot" and a "reformer." He is now trying to prove that Germany could bring claims for "constructive damages" against the United States, and that our Government was guilty of a gross outrage on international law. All the correspondents of all the "Anti-Grant" papers combine to "crack him up," to borrow Dickens' phrase. If Schurz's relatives and Schurz's dependents had all been "properly provided for" at the expense of the people, we should have heard but little of Schurz's turgid fustian, called by the reporters "grand speeches."—JV.

John Jacob Astor.

Mr. Astor's early habits of life were peculiar. He always played checkers after three o'clock dinner, never exceeding three games, and while playing drank a glass of ale. He never used spirits. Telling anecdotes of his early career, he was never weary of. His brother, Henry Astor, was a butcher. John Jacob, in his financial struggles, frequently went to him for a loan. This was a source of annoyance to Henry, who said one day, in answer to his brother's request for a loan of two hundred dollars: "John, I will give you a hundred dollars if you will never again ask a loan, or an indorsement of me."

A Father Cuts His Daughter's Throat-, and then Shoots Himself.

$pcci(tt.to the Cincinnati (juset'.e.] MUNCIE, IND Feb. 29. A horrible tragedy was enacted near Dalesville, this morning, the principals being a farmer, Willis Williamson, living about three miles west of the city, and his daughter. The daughter had engaged to marry a young man named Landry, and yesterday went away to conmmmate the marriage. Mr. Williamson, who was very much averse to the match, and had expostulated in vain with her, followed the pair to Dalesville. where he found the girl in the house of a relative. Striding up to her, he seized her by the hair, and, throwing her head back, he drew a knife, and cut her throat from ear to ear, causing almost instant death. He then drew a revolver and shot himself twice in the mouth. At 2 o'clock this afternoon he was still alive, but is not expected to live many hours. The parties are respectable farmers of this township. Williamson, leaves a large family. The community is greatly shocked at the occurrence.

Steamboat Collision

Terrible Suffering of Passengers

Several Persons Supposed to bo Drowned 1

CINCINNATI, March 2.—A special to the Chronicle says the Green river packet, Falls City, was run iuto by the steamer J. W. Garrett, at the mouth of the old canal, Louisville, at midnight, last night, inking the former. She was struck amidps, sinking to the boiler deck. As she ilc the stove in the texas capsized, setting tire to the texas, burning the upper orks entirely. The passengers only had time to escape in their night clothes. The Falls City had a valuable cargo and will prove a total loss Two negroes of the crew are missing and are supposed to ,1 be drowned.

LATER.

The Chronicle special gives the following particulars of the sinking of the Falls City: The greatest consternation prevailed among passengers when she took fire, men, women and children rushing about the boat, uttering criefi lor assistance. She lay near a fleet of empty barges, upon which the passengers escaped to the a island with only their night clothes, and in their bare feet some jumped into the ater and swam ashore. The ground was covered with snow and the night was cold, with a strong wind blowing, which increased the sufferings of the passengers, who remained on the island for nearly an hour, when they were relieved by a New Albany ferryboat. The Falh City was owned bv the Green River Navigation Companv, and was valued at 1 *2.000, ith ?S,'000 in the Andes, of Cincinnati, nd other companies. The cargo was allied at ?35,000 or $40,000, and was fully injured. The hull can be mired, The cargo will prove a total loss.

ANOTHER REPORT.

LOUISVILLE, March 2 —Near midnight last night, the steamer Falls City, Capt. V. .^proule, bound for Green river, passed out the mouth of the old canal ith a big freight list and 50 cabin passengers. Just below the tnouth of the ca» nal she came up to the J, W. Garrett and bar^e Rachel which had passed through the new canal and stopped at '.lie bank. As I he Kalis City came up proper signals were given and replied to by the Garrett, when the Garrett started out from the shore and collided with the Falls City, and the barge Rachel, striking her amidships in the rear of the boiler*, cutting into her hull and letting in water freely. The Falls City swung round, and struck '.• her stern against the barge, injuring her 1 wheel and engines so that she became unmanageable. Pilot Geo. Dolly blew the signal of distress repeatedly. Captain Sproule and Capt. Van Meter, a passenger and stockholder in the Falls City, ran to the after part of the boat and shouted to the officers of the Garrett to come to their assistance and take'olT the women and children as the boat was sinking rapidly. It is claimed that the oflicers of the Garrett must have heard the call, aH the boats were not then more than fifty yards apart.

7,

The Garrett, however, passed on down the liver, and the Falls City drilled over to Sand Island and lodged against some coal barges, about fifty yards from the bank, and the passengers were taken ashore, over the barges. A number of the passengers, especially the ladies, escaped only in their night clothes. The night was cold and the ground deep with 3 snow, and despite the efforts of the oflicers of the Falls City, much suffering ensued. The boat junk soon after the passengers had left, careening to the siarboard, upsetting the stoves in the ladies' cabin and tcxas, from which she took tire and burned to the water's edge in less .* than half an hour. The light of the Gre wan seen in this city, but was supposed to be a lire in New Albany. After remaining on the bank about three hours the passengers were taken to Portland by Captain Moses Irwin, of the ferryboat Conner, from New Albany. I no Falls City was built four years ago by the Louisville & Green River Packet Company cost §26,000, and was 1 DO tons burthen, had been recently overhauled and all government appliances added She was insured for $4,000, in the Andes of Cincinnati. The risk was placed only last night about o'clock. The cargo was insured for about $10,000 in Louisville,,, companies, except $1,200 in the Andes. The cargo was worth from $"0,000 to $75,000. The loss will fall heavily on the owners, but they will immediately f-ecure another boat and put her in the tnnle. There will probably be nothing paved from the hull. Capt. Robinson thinks the boat and cargo a total loss. An olfi-, cial investigation into the cause of the disaster will be held before the local inspectors on Monday. The flames from the burning boat spread and destroyed two barges belonging to N. J. Begley loss about $1,000. A negro man named,

Anderson Pearson, belonging to the Falls City, is missing and it is feared was lost on the burning boat. Double the amount of insurance would have been placed on the boat last night, but the insurance offices were closed.
