Wednesday Morning, March 6, 1872.

GOVERNOR MORTON IS at Indianapolis.

BOSTON has a new paper, the "Daily Globe." ,1

THE anti-hog war continues to convulse Evansville.

HAS BEMUPDAFFER a "literary style?" is a question mooted in the Indianapolis papers.

JUBGE CASON, of Boone county, wants go to Congress. Well, there are lotso worse men there than he is-

''HIGH moral ground" on the temperance question is the latest role of numerous Indiana Democratic editors!

PERHAPS the most graceful production that has ever come from Mr. VOORHEES' pen, is his letter in Monday's "Journal."

THE Vincennes "Snn" withdraws its subscription to stock in CHARLES SUMNEB.

MRS. LIVERMORE is enjoying a quiet refit at her home in Melrose, near Bos" ton.

"MARRIAGE and Divorce" was the theme of Mrs. STANTON'S lecture, at the Evansville Opera House, last night.

TnE Madison "Courier" learns that four students of Hanover College, three of whom were members of the Senior Class, were expelled last Thursday.

JUDGE Cox, of the Hamilton county, Ohio, Common Pleas Court, has perpetually enjoined the redisricting of Cincinnati into wards by the Commissioners appointed under the SCHIFF bill.

THE "Ladies' Own" Magazine for March is out.—Ind. Commercial. Hadn't it better go in again. It is too feeble to stay "out" in this rough world.

MR. FXSHBACTC, in the Indianapolis "Journal," playfully alludes to a professional brother as "the animal who brays through the editorial columns of the Washington 'Patriot.'

IT IS a fact worth freqent mention that the decrease of the national debt from March 1, 18G9, to March 1, 1872, as shown by the official statement just publihlied, was $299,049,762.

TIIE Centennial Commissioners are in session in Philadelphia. They don't expect to live to make arrangements for the second centennial anniversary of our National Independence, and they want to do this job well.

DAN'S Cuban speech, now running, as a serial, through the "Journal," reads very well in English. We couldn't quite worry through it in the original Spanish. Our neighbor is fortunate in securing ro successful a translation.

MR. VOORHEICS bases his hopes of a Democratic victory in this State, on the efl'orts of SUMNER, TRUMBULL & Co. This must be nearly as satisfactory to those gentlemen as the wholesale purchase and circulation of their speeches by Democratic campaign managers!

"THE Jocox VETO" is the caption of a long editorial in which the Cincinnati "Commercial" treats of the ScniFF bill injunction granted by the Hon. JOSEPH Cox, Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Hamilton county.

AT Arba, Randolph county, Ind., last Saturday morning, SAMUEL J. ROBERTSON was killed by the limb of a tree which he felled. His little son, six years old, was with him at the time, and it is supposed the father lost his life in trying to save the child from a similar fate.

THE United States Supreme Court has decided that no State court has authority to interfere and discharge a person enlisted in the United States military service on the ground that he had enlisted when a minor, and without proper permission, and that.such cases belong exclusively to a United Slates court.

THE latest writers from the Suez Canal indignantly deny that its importance or success has been exaggerated, and that there are any symptoms of failure. They dcclaro that the Bmall returns arc owing to the excessivo charges, and the slowness with which shippers accept so radical a change in course. Low rates and shrewd English management, they say, would make the revolution in trade that the canal first promised.

THE Indianapolis "Journal" defends the course of tho New York "Tribune" in presenting extracts from Democratic papers only, as a fair showing of the "drift of political discussion." Tho propriety of giving both sides a hearing in a non-partisan journal is apparent, but there is neither fairness nor dscency in trying to palm off two or three columns of Democratic editorials for current public opinion. i. ... i-

GENEIVAI. FRANK WHITE, having seen his name mentioned in several papers as an aspirant for Congressional honors, desires us to state that lie is not a candidate for any office. He is in favor of the strongest man that can be selected for the race, and will give his hearty support to the nominee of the District Republican Convention. General W HITE think MORTON C. HUNTER would be more likely to carry the District by a fair majority than any other gentleman who has been named in this connection.

EASTERN PATERS tell of a sharp rogue down in Maiden, Massachusetts. For some time he has been sending out circulars offering to send a book in a sealed pr.ckage for the sum of eighty-five centsThe language of the circular conveyed the impression, without distinctly stating it, that it was an obscene publication, and so the book vender had a large and constant demand for his sealed packages. At last tho police came on the track of the book-vender, captured a sealed package, and found—a New Testament! The price of the book is about fifteen cents at retail, so this novel method of col port euring proved very profitable.

THE Philadelphia "Press" agrees with the St. Louis "Democrat" that the Cincinnati Convention will ratify the nomination of Judge DAVID DAVIS that the 'Possumites will then accept him as their candidate, and that the Judge will run as the triple and triangular candidate against the nominee of the Philadelphia Con» vention. The 'Tress" thinks all three nominations can be secured for DAVIS, unless GKATZ BROWN and TRUMBULL should protest. The ''Democrat" says "GRATZ will undoubtedly 'protest,' but it will do him no gocd. He will not receive a single vote in any convention outside of the bummeis who go to it from Missouri. And even thc'Missouri delegation to Cincinnati can be obtained for DAVIS at five

THE Chicago "Standard" has a correspondent who Wants to know what should be done^with a candidate for admission into the Baptist Church who in all other respects is sound, bat who hesitates to accept the doctrine of etettial punishment. The "Standard1' replies by quoting the advice of l?AtJL: "Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not of doubtful disputations," as applicable to such a case.

A WRITER in the London "Standard" thinks that Lord GRANVILLE'S having been compelled by gotot td support himself with a Cl-utch when replying to the Duke of RICHMOND in reference to the Alabama claims, is curiously illustrative of the position of the Ministry at the commencement of the session. CHATHAM, too, supported himself with a crutch when talking of the claims of this country—claims which came to be fully recognized.

THE Cincinnati "Gazette," which has always had a warm side for Senator SUM NER, says of his last speech:

The facts he alleges demand an investigation, and the investigation would have begun before this if Mr. Sumner had not tacked to his resolution a preamble that was calculaied only to create opposition. The introduction of that preamble makes it doubtful whether the course of Mr. Sumner was actuated solely by the lofty morality he announces in this speech. The bitternees of his opposition to Grant ex cites suspicion of his intent.

IT HAS been noticed that Democratic organs do not cry out very loudly against the alleged corruption in the election of Senator CALDWELL from itansas. The reason is this: Every Democrat in the Legislature voted for CALDWELL, as they would undoubtedly have voted for CLARKE, if the former had not outbid him. Here arises the interesting ques tion of which is the worst, the man who buys votes, or the man who sells his own.

SUPPOSE you were engaged in a fierce encounter with a desperate foe whom, after a long struggle, you had disarmed and almost subdued and suppose that at this point one who professed to be your best friend should rush to the scene, rearm, reanimate and cheer on your enemy, what would you think of that lriend? You would think of him just as the true Republicans of the United States think of CHARLES SUMNER and his associates when they see them reviving the droop ing spirits and pouring vitality into the lately exhausted frame of the Democracy

A "COMMERCIAL" SPECIAL says the Washington "Star" has succeeded in securing anew trial on an appeal from the verdict of a stupid Washington jury giv ing three thousand dollars damages in a libel suit, when it was shown that there was no malice in the publication, or loss '.o the plaintiff in money or reputation Encouraged by this verdict, several other libel suits have been entered against the "Star" by various parties, who hope to earn their whisky money by bleeding responsible newspapers. The "Star" announces its purpose to test the question whether the press has any rights under he antiquated libel law and fossil juries.

FROM the Indianapolis correspondence of the Cincinnati "Gazette" it appears that ex-Senator HENDRICKS and E. S ALVORD, Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, discovered, during their recent visit to Washington, that there was no chance for HENDRICKS in the national fight, and it is said that he is to be put upon the State ticket as the candidate for Governor, with the understanding that he is to be elected to the United States Senate in case the Democrats carry the Legislature. W. DEPAUW is to be Lieutenant Governor, and acting Governor in case HENDRICKS is sent to the Senate, while VOORHEES is to be the candidate for Congress at large.

TIIE newspapers are recording one of the most touching triumphs of spiritualism that modern years have presented Shortly after the death of the lamented JAMES FISK, Jr., LANE, of the Erie road missed some bonds which the deceased Vice Presdent was supposed to have put away. He immediately sought a medium, who called up the spirit of the lamented JAMES, and forthwith learned the whereabouts of the lost securities. Of course, the particulars of the recovery soon came to the ears of JAY GOULD, who suddenly remembered that there was a thing or two on which he himself would like to consult JAMES. The same medium was applied to, and the willing spirit invoked. "JAMES," said the weeping GOULD, "where are yon?" "In hell," said JAMES. "How are you getting along?" said JAY, "Bully, old pard," replied Prince Erie. "You"see, I've put the fire out, and now I've got a 'corner' on brimstone."

DISCONTENTED Englishmen have sub scribed five thousand pounds sterling for the fitting out of an expedition to discover the long-absent African explorer Liv INGSTONE. The Philadelphia "Enquirer" thinks there is a ring of real practical business in this project, which bids fair soon to put an end to the LIVINGSTONE mystery. A band of bold Britons with the wide margin of £5000 for expen ses, will penetrate Africa in the most mat ter of-fact way, and produce the long absent traveling physician or indubitable evidences of his demise and their labors will deprive us of one of the few bits of romance permitted to this practical generation of ours. In these days of Pacific railroads and ocean telegraphs it is a genuine luxury to have some one missing somewhere beyond the reach of locomotives and the ken of the electric wires. It is sad, therefore, to contemplate the loss of our LIVINGSTONE luxury, but there remains tous Dr.

to say nothing of the passive candidates of the Democracv.

THE New York "Times" finds a melancholy suggestiveness in the fact that the crazy youth who presented the rusty pistol at Queen VICTORIA turns out to be a grandson of the great Chartist agitator of thirty years ago. FRANCIS EDWARD O'CONNOR was a man of pure impulses and a noble mind. He preached doctrines which, from being ranked as revolutionary, have come to be among the elementary truths of British Liberalism. The monster petition, with its million of signatures, praying for the release of the Chartist convicts, which he presented to the House of Commons, finds a melancholy counterpart in the amnesty papers found on bis lunatic grandson. The mind of FEARGCS O'CONNOR never recovered from the collapse of the Chartist movement. He showed symptoms of insanity when in the country twenty years ago, and he was an inmate of a mad-house till within a few days of his death. Let us hope that his grandson will be placed under the merciful restraint which is the only penalty called for by his hereditary intirmitv.

THERE must be some tall lying in New Hampshire about this time. The Concord "Patriot" sayi if election were to take place now WESTON would be chosen by a big majority, and will be if the Democaats will only "stick while the Manchester "Mirror" foots up a heavy majority for STRAW. People who are better governed by the rule of veracity than any of these authorities, say that it is impossible to predict results with any degree of certainty. According to a Con cord dispatch the struggle is a State-National-personal one—the chairmen of the Republican Slate Central Committees —Messrs. ROLLINS and SINCLAIR—both being candidates for the United States Senate. By this it would seem that Senator PATTERSON, who is now on the stump, has been coolly counted out. He will not like it and he has many friends who will be as much displeased at his getting the cold shoulder from his party as he is. Under this arrangement there is said to be family trouble of the most threatening kind, which, it is believed, will manifest itself demonstrably at the polls.

LETTER FROM SMARTYILLE

B. Oer Frees Bis Mind A&ain-

j^ABtViLtfi, March 5,1872.

ED. EXPRESS:—I am encouraged to favor yon with anotker letter. I knew that the one which I sent you last month) on Introducing Public Speakers, was a remarkable letter, but I did not know that the people would appreciate it. The public is so slow to recognize true merit, or at least, it has been in hiy case. Btitl have deceived several letters thanking me for that "high-toned," "common-sense" "sensible" letter. "Blood will tell," and so will merit, in time. One gentleman, evidently young and somewhat diffident, thanks me, with tears in his eyes, (so he wrote,) for the letter, saying that some of hia friends called him a fool for puffing the lecturers in his introductions. Another writes that he has been charged with getting your humble servant to prepare his introductions for him. Now, this latter is flattering to the "humble servant," i. e., myself, but naturally annoys the young man. So, I willeay forhi3 sake, that I never did prepare any introductions for any of the Lecture Committees in Terre Haute. Of course I would do it for a consideration and, privately, I will say to my future patrons that, provided the consideration will warrant it, 1 will agree to deny that I prepared it in case it should be charged. But I have not done so yet.

But I took my pen to write you on another subject, which is RECEPTION SPEECHES.

We are in the region of block coal, and excursions, of one kind and another, come here now and then, and more are coming. Heretofore when these men, rich in learning, (scientifics), rich in influence, (editors), and be3t of all, rich in true, solid, useful wealth, (manufacturers and speculators), have come among us, the dunces out here have been satisfied to express themselves pleased that these personages had done us the honor to come among us. Now, modesty, and honest praise^of others, even flattery, are well enough in their places. But it is always best to manifest individual superiority over your guests. If any more excursions come here, I intend to run this business of making reception speeches myself. I have prepared several for different occasions. Let me give you a specimen. This one is for the Editors' Convention, but with slight changes it will do for any other occasion: Gentlemen of the Press: "We are happy to see you inhaling the bracing, intellectual atmosphere of our thriving city. (Smartville is not a city yet, but it will be at some future day, and it is not best on these occasions to be too modest about anticipating the future.) "We are indeed happy, gentlemen of the pen, pencil and scissors, (a good thing), to see you enjoying the rich privileges of our society. We have long desired to exhibit before you oUr intellectual strength, to tell you what in our past embryonic state we have done for our great and sovereign Hoosierdom, and how solid and strong is the foundation which we have laid for our future influence upon the nations of the earth and the rest of mankind. (Z. Taylor said something like the last phrase.) "We know it will do you good to come here. After measuring the strength of our intellectual lions,—so far as you are able to do so,—you will return to your sanctums" (it is a good thing to get in technical terms, it makes you appear cosmopolitan,) "with a proud consciousness that the State which possesses a city like ours, sheds honor upon every one of its humblest citizens, whether said citizen wields a pickax, or pen. We are glad, gentlemen of the press, we are very glad to see you here, for it will do you a heap of good. We are willing to sacrifice some of our valuable time, we are willing to spend lavishly of our money, we greatly rejoice in the privilege of pouring out freely the eloquence of our most eloquent and distinguished sons," (nobody was to speak but the fellow that introduced me and myself,) "I say we do all these things willingly, yea, even glad-, ly, because we hope it will give pleasure to you, and because we know it will do you good. And we know that in doing good to you, as we are this day, we are sending a stream of influence through you upon the hundreds who read the papers over which you preside. In behalf of my intellectual fellow citizens, I welcome you, because it will do you good. Listen freely to our eloquence, eat heartily of our elegant and costly repast, walk our streets, look upon the exterior of our public and private edifices, which, in architectural beauty, rival the ruins of the Old World, study our future_ prospects, they are grand beyond conception or comparison, do all these things freely, because it will do you good. Gentlemen, pardon these many words. Our great merits would not permit less. And, in closing, let me again, and most heartily, bid you welcome, and give you the assurance that we do know that this visit will be of untold benefit to you and to your readers. Again, you are welcome, thrice welcome, welcome to this elegant hall, which will hold at least two hundred people, welcome to this dinner, which cost a large sum, but which we arc glad to spend, welcome to our streets, in a word, welcome to our hearts, our hearths and our homes, welcome, because it will do you good."

I read that to a fellow out here, and he called me a fool, and said it was out of taste. I told him I was used to that, for I had heard just that same kind of talk about my way of introducing public speakers, and then showed him some of the letters which your people had sent me. He curled his lip, and got off some sort of an old quotation something like, "Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth a stranger and not thine own lips." Now, that is all bosh, but there is no use in arguing with these idiots.

By the way, I have been reading the speeches made to the Japanese, and I find them all of this same kind. Grant did the thing the cleanest and the slyest of any of them. I havejust been reading over his speech. In the first sentence he tells the Embassy that the United States was the first to break the old shell with hich their nation foolishly encased itself. In the second sentence he compliments them on their good sense in coming to the United States. In the third sentence he assures them that the time is past when they can make such fools of themselves as they used to do. In the next he informs them that though Japan is the oldest child in the family of nations, and the United States a mere infant in arms, yet said infant U. S. has beat the whole

crowd, old fogy Japan included. He then tells them what wonderful things we have learned, and hits them right between the eyes every time, with "encouragement of emigration," "free press," "freedom of thought and conscience," "liberal toleration of religion" both "in citizens and foreigners." When they remembered their own history, it must have made them feci that they were in a big nation. Our noble President assured them that he was glad to see them because it would do them good. Talk about letting "another praise thee, and a stranger." I know better than that, and so does Grant, and so do all the people who have made speeches to this Embassy, and so does every man whom I heard make a reception speech in Terre Haute. The true motto for such occasions is

Blow your own trumpet till you are tired, and then let the distinguished guests blow it, too."

Your very humble servant, B. OER. P. S. I would offer to come to your city on the occasion of any reception, but I know ther are plenty there who can do this thing as well, or nearly as well, asIorGrant. I think Grant ought to be our candidate for President

Thursday the members were invited by the Honey Creek Grange to spend the evening there, and carriages wer? rent in for tlteta. It tfas'oofe of those social gatherings never to be forgotten, and at Ike fe*st a table was set tbftt.would be a credit to any hotel All enjoyed themselves highly, and in the "we ema' hours" the delegates from the Northern' part of the Stale returned to take the morning train. We are pleased to notice that our old friend and moat worthy citizen, John Wier, of Honey Creek, has been elected Master of the State Grange. He was the first person in Indiana who took an active part in introducing the Order here, about two years ago, and now sees it with three thousand membere and the nurhber daily intreaslng.

In Iowa we learn there are now one hundred and ninety-three subordinate granges, showing an interest among the farmers that will soon create a power influential in the land. The order is now firmly established in twenty-seven States, and embraces a membe^bip of over two hundred and fifty thousand. It 13 high time that the farmers were organized in something more substantial than mere farmers' clubs, and we congratulate them on the success of this fraternity. We append the resolutions adopted at tbe meeting just closed

WHEREAS, Certain manufacturers and dealers in agricultural implements have refused to sell to the agents of Granges, desiring to purchase, except they would purchase through the local agents of such manufacturers, thereby obliging farmers composing subordinate Granges to pay to these local agents and middle men from fifteen to twenty-five per cent, in addition to the actual cost, to the manifest injury of the farming community therefore,

Ee-solied, By this State Grange that we will use all our influence to prevent the members of. subordinate Granges from purchasing of such parties as refuse to recognize the right of our agents to purchase directly from the manufacturers, and dispense with the middle men.

THE PARKE COUNTY COAL.

Visit of Trofessor Cox and Others to Ptirkc County—Interesting Facts Elicited. s.

The "Journal" of Tuesday noted the departure of Professor Cox and President Hammond, of the Indiana and Illinois Central road, to tbe coal fields of Parke county, on a tour of observation. The party returned yesterday quite enthusiastic over the prospects for securing good and cheap coal along the line of that road, which is now under contract, and will be built without delay.

At Crawfordsville the party was joined by Col. Carrington and Prof. Hovey, Of Wabash College, President Lee, of the Logansport, Crawfordsville and Southwestern road, (over which line the party traveled in a special car,) and several other gentlemen, including Hon. Tom. Stilwell, President of the Anderson, Lebanon and St. Louis road, Mr. Lazarre, Mr. Muloch (a cousin of the celebrated novelist,) and Judge Roache, of this city. Three miles east of Rockville, on Clear Creek, the mines of the Clear Creek Coal Company were visited and closely inspected. The company has erected good works, and employs about forty men, ivith a demand for more coal than can be furnished. The coal is a splendid quality of semi-block, four feet thick, and resembling in appearance the celebrated Mahoning Valley coal, known as Brookfield, which is sold as far west as Chicago at high prices. The Clear Creek coal burns exactly like the block coal, and Prof. Cox pronounces it fully equal to the block coal for fuel and steam, though not adapted to the manufacture of iron and steelilike block coal. The latter, however, exists in the same locality at a depth of twenty or thirty feet below the seam now being worked, and will be mined in due time, as it exists in seams varying from three to four and one-half feet in thickness throughout the valley.

This semi-block coal burns without coking, leaves no clinkers, gives ont a powerfnl heat, and is in common use on the locomotives of the L. C. & S. W. road, as well as in the cities along the line and adjacent. Wherever used, it is considered equal to the best for the purposes named above. The line of the Indiana and Illinois Central road crosses these fields at a distance of fifty-two miles from Indianapolis, and when built will give us good and cheap coal, if it be not blind to its own interests.—Ind. Journal.

TIIE BLOCK COAL FIELDS.

Lafayette, Rockville and Terre Haute Railroad.

The Lafayette "Courier" of Saturday says the attention of Indiana towns is being enlisted in these block coal deposits, with a view to the establishment of Bessemer steel works. New Albany has an es^ tablishment of the kind already, and gets its coal from the section of country above mentioned, over the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Railroad. Indianapolis is bound to have a Bessemer steel works, and is urging the necessity of building a railroad to the mines. Terre Haute is also making a lively movement in the game direction, while even smaller towns like Crawfordsville, Brazil, Greencastle, Montezuma, Covington and others, are hopeful for iron manufactories, all looking to these block coal deposits for the ultimate fruition of their hopes. The uudauntable, go ahead Chicago has alsoentered the field, and has already filed articles of association, with our Secretary of State, of the "Western Indiana Railroad Company." It passes through the heart of the coal regions. The capital stock of the company embraces some of the stauncliest men of Chicago, and a few in New York who are determined to have the road completed within a year. Besides these, there are several other railroad enterprises in a state of prosecution, or contemplation, all pointing to these coal fields, md all having the same object in view. Among the Tatter is the contemplated Lafayette, Rockville & Terre Haute Railroad, to which the attention of our citizens has already frequently been called in the "Courier." We fear that Lafayette has been already sleeping too long over this matter. Had this road been built two years ago, when it might have been, and when it should have been, Lafayette, at the present time, would be enjoying all the advantages for which other towns are already competing. Other railroads are certain to be built. Other towns are certain to be benefitted by means of easy access to these coal beds. Other towns are already reaping rich harvests therefrom. Eastern capitalists are already on the ground prospecting for the most promising localities in which to invest their means in manufactories. Terre Haute is assured of a million dollars for this purpose. In many respects Lafayetttf has advantages over Terre Haute or Indianapolis, or indeed any other competing town. The only present lack is a railroad leading in the most direct line to the coal fields of Fountain, Parke and Clay counties. Such road is the Lafayette, Rockville and Terre Haute.

THE Cincinnati "Gazette" of yesterday has this mention of the history and fate of our former townsman, Roye:

Ohio was the native State of Edwin S. Roye, late President of Liberia. He early showed more than ordinary talent, and had accumulated some property, when he emigrated to the African Republic. Being elected to the Chief Magistracy, he negotiated a loan in England, illegally we believe, and not without suspicion of embezzling a part of the funds obtained. He was thrown into prison, deposed from office, and finally drowned in his endeavor to escape to a vessel off the coast.

IT will never do to say that Evansville is not a paying place tor first-class talent to visit, for every available place was occupied at the concert last night, and the receipts were greater than were ever realized from any concert or exhibition ever given here. Numbers of people came from Mt. Vernon, New Harmony, Princeton, and Mt. Carmel, Illinois, to attend, and all were charmed.—fwwJ/e Jcvrnal. otf.

THE M&RTl-NDALE RELIEF FUND

Speaker Mack Explains-

During the session of the last Legislature some distinguished Ohio Democrats visited this city to commune with their kindred spirits, the Hon. Bay less W. Hanna, Hon. Jaeon B. Brown and the Hon. William Mack. These distinguished Democrats desired Judge Martindale to introduce them to a livery stable keeper, which he. did in the politest manner possible- The three Indiana statesmen thereupon procured three carriages, which they used in showing their political friends from Ohio around the city. They did not pay the livery bill. It was sent to one or two of them for collection, and payment was refused. The proprietor of the livery stable sued Judge Martindale as their surety, and recovered a judgment for $18 and costs before Esquire Boggess, a Justice of the Peace of this city. When these facts became public. It was proposed that the leading Democrats of the State should contribute one dime each until the amount should be made up. Major Simpson, of the Madison "Free Press," responded promptly to the (Jail— and up to the present writing the ten cents contributed by bim is all that has been received. The facts being known, there should be no delay on the part of tbe Indiana Democracy. Let Judge Martindale be reimbursed at once.—Ind. Journal, Feb. 28th. 'T-v-.a

Mr. Mack Comes To Time.

To the Editor of the Ind. Journal-. Some lime ago an article appeared in your paper to the effect that General Hanna and myself, had, during the session of the Legislature, gotten Judge Martindale to vouch for us at a livery stable, to enable us to obtain carriages for the purpose of taking some friends of ours around the city that we had failed and refused to pay the heavy bill, and Judge Martindale had been compelled to pay it, the amount being about §15.

I did not see the article, nor hear of it, for some time after its publication, and therefore did not explain, and would not at this time, but for the fact that some papers are still alluding to it, by connecting my name with what they term "The Martindale Fund."

Tbe plain facts are these: The day the Republican members of the House resigned, a delegation of members of the Ohio Senate and House, came to visit our Legislature. Everything was in confusion, but we attempted to entertain them as well as we could. A committee, composed of Senators and members of the House, was appointed to provide for their entertainment. My impression now is that Judge Martindale Was one, but I am not certain as to this.

I provided for them at the Bates and had the bill charged to me. It was concluded to show them the city ant State institutions, and for this purpose carriages were necessary. The Attorney General was present when I spoke with Judge Martindale about the carriages, but had nothing to do with the matter. I asked the Judge about the carriages, and he said he would order them, and did so.

After the Ohio' visitors had left, some ten or fifteen members agreed with me that we would settle all bills. We paid the Bates House and other bills, and I went to Judge Martindale and said to him I wanted to know what stable furnished the carriages, so I could pay the bill. I recollect his answer well. He. said, "Oh, no we have been getting carriages there for the use of the committee on benevolent institutions, and this bill will go in with that and be paid for by the Senate." I considered the visitors as guests of the Legislature, and thought all was right.

During my absence in Europe, a bill was sent me at Terre Haute for the livery, but it was mislaid, and I never saw Xr heard about it till I heard of your article in December.

The next day or two after I heard of this, I met Judge Martindale and called his attention to the matter, and to the fact that I offered to pay it, and that he said it would be paid by the Senate. He then said that the Senate ought to have paid it, but adjourned without doing so that he had mentioned it as a./o£«,_and it had got into the papers. I told him I felt sore over it, and that I would have paid the bill at any time. He Baid I was under no more obligations to pay it than he or a dozen other gentlemen.

This is my contribution to the Martindale fund. WILLIAM MACK.

The Journal Responds. We give place, with pleasure, to "the able and exhaustive" article of Speaker Mack in relation to the so-called "Martindale Relief Fund." Ever since December we have been laboring to have the matter brought to a satisfactory adjustment. and besides tbe ten cent contribution of Maj. Simpson, of the Madison "Free Press," we had received nothing from any Democrat until Mr. Mack's welcome contribution came to band. We cannot expect Attorney General Hanna to gi^e the matter his personal attention until has carefully elaborated and publisbt .1 his Jong promised explanation of the cat-skinner's enormous stationery bill, it is but justice to Mr. Hanna to say, however, that it was tacitly understood that tbe delightful music furnished by him for the entertainment of the Ohio Democratic visitors more than paid his share of the livery bill. His manner of singing "Mrs. Lofty had her jewels I had mine," was in the highest style of the vocal art. No further contribution is expected from him until he gets through with the feather dusters, pounce boxes, mammoth erasers, etc.—Ind. Journal, Feb. 20th. ...

SPEAKER MACK having been heard from in relation to the Martindale Fund, a communication from Bazoo is now in order. It is generally conceded that Bay less'singing let him out of the scrape, —Ind. Eve. Journal.

MB. BAYLESS W. HANNA, not only neglects to bring suit against Col. W. R. Holloway, for the offense charged against him by the Democratic papers, but also delays most unaceountably to explain his connection with that enormous bill of stationery with which Mr. Bright supplied him in 1871. The people are at a loss to account for the indifference, or slothfulness, of the Attorney General, in these particulars. Why does he hesitate—why does he delay We can imagine a reason for hesitation in Col. Holloway's case. The facts may not correspond with Democratic allegations. But surely, there can be no legitimate cause for delay in making an explanation personal to himself.—Evansrille Journal.

HON. D. W. VOORHEES, in a communication to his organ, the Terre Haute "Journal," of to day, declines to be a candidate for Governor. What new slate has been prepared only time and a few of the wire-workers can tell.

The Myers Mnrder Trial. The argument in the Meyers case was continued and concluded on Saturday, Colonel Trusler closing for the State, and Messrs. Jacobs and Porter addressing the jury in behalf of the defendant. At five o'clock the Court instructed the jury in the premises, and at half past five they retired for consultation. They were out all night and until half past nine yesterday morning, when they came into court having agreed upon a verdict of guilty of manslaughter, and sentencing bim to four years' imprisonment in the Penitsntiary.

The Grand Turk of the Old Tiiiie. It did not take the masters of Byzntium long to learn the arrogance as well as the corruption arising from uncontrolled power. The Grand Turk became a synonym for all that was lavish and insolent and audacious as his possessions and his conquests extended, and Europe held him in awe. It Is furious now to read of the insolence with which the Sultan was wont to treat the embassadors of foreign powers, representing tll€ ftitlohs by whose gritcious ^permission nOw.his succesoronly holds his throne on sufferance. lb the palmy tls»y8 of tiie Sublime Porte Christian embassadors ot the gfe&t powers, who were then compelled to live in the suberb of Pera (not permitted to dwell in the city), to get an audience, were obliged to present themselves at the gates of Constantinople before dawn. The captain of the guard awaited the embassador there, and received him, as his guest in a kiosk set apart for the purpose. A procession was then formed^ made up of the suit of the eiflbassSdor, in uniform, and military esdoft. Arrived at a stfiall pavilion outside the seraglio gate, the embassador wqs kept Waiting there for sotne time. Here the Grand Vizier met him, and accompanied him on foot to the divan, within the gates, through a file of executioners in waiting, and the Eunuchs of the Guard.

Here the embassador had to leave all his retinue, and proceed alone with the Grand Vizier—the Sultan from a window above looking down on the proceedings. The embassador then dined alone with the Grand Vizier, and presents of robes and caftans were made to him and his suit.

Then the Grand Viaier proceeded alone to the Sultan, and begged that, sin^e the Christian embassador had been fed and clothed by the bounty of his Highness, he might be admitted to an audience. After being made to wait along time, he was permitted to enter the royal apartment, accompanied by not more than twelve of his suit, the Sultan being surrounded by a great number of high officials and courtiers arrayed in cloth of gold of dazzling magnificence. Stout chamberlains then seized the embassador and suit, and lifted them bodily into the presence of the Sultan, ducking down their heads forcibly in sign of reverence. The Sultan seldom deigned to take any notice either of the embassador, or the credentials deposited On a cushion and laid at his feet. This terminated the interview, and he seldom saw the Snltan again, or was not recognized when seen. Moreover, it was no uncommon thing in those days for the Sultan to Imprison embasadors whose course was disagreeable to him and often it was difficult to get them liberated. In striking contrast to this is the description by the Roving Englishman of an audience he took part in when Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, the British embassador, bullied the spiritless successor of the Grand Turks some centuries later. He says: "I never saw any thing so touching as this audience I would have as soon been present at administering the rod to a weakly boy, or the cat-o'-niue-tails to a sickly soldier. I felt a sentiment of sincere pity when I (among some thirty or forty tinseled nobodies) witnessed the vulgar and shameful scolding by which a Chistian embassador thought proper to insult the mild and helpless prince who now sits on the tottering throne of the Eastern Caesars. There was small bowing or rcverence there. The court of the Sultan might as well have been a bear-garden." Nor was the British embassador the only one who adopted this course toward tho Sultan, who shrank from all such interviews as much through fear of insult as from disinclination for business. Verily "the whirligig of time does bring strange revenges."—From "The Old Ottoman and the Young Turk," by EDWIN DE LEON, in Harper's Magazine for March.

The Democratic Slate.

Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks and Mr. E. S.

Mr. Hendricks found his chances for the Presidential nomination remote, if not inaccessible, and his intentions in that direction have been superceded by a desire to run for Governor of Indiana, against General Tom Browne, of Winchester.

To thia end a "slate" has been made up, as follows: For Governor—Hon. Thos A. Hendricks, of Indianapolis.

For Lieutenant Governor—Hon. W. C. DePauw, of New Albany. For Congressman at Large—Hon. D. W- Voorhees, of Terre Haute.

In furtherance of this movement, Mr. Voorhees retires from the field as a candidate for Governor, and will publish a letter to that effect and purport in the Terre Haute "Journal" of to-day. In event of the success of this_ ticket next October, and a working majority in the Legislature of 1873, Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks will be sent to the Senate, and De Pauw will become Governor by promolion.—Ind. Journal, 4th.

Children's of

Hymns as Agents Civilization.

Max Adeler says "One of the Indian agents informs us that the translation of children's hyms, which have been circulated among the Indians, are exceedingly popular. Even the most savage Indians sing them upon the war-path. We rejoice to receive intelligence of this fact, because the sufferings of the Indian victims will be greatly alleviated by this practice of the savages. It will be a great comfort to a man who has been scalped and stuck full of arrows, and pinned to the ground with a stick run through his vita ls, and who has a bonfire lighted on his stomach, to have the Indians dance round him in a ring singing, 'Hush, my babe—lie still and slumoer!" These untutored children of the prairie all have immortal yearnings, as well 4s fondness for bunches of black h»K."

TRIAL OF MAYOR HALL.

THE PROGRESS SLOW AM) TE-

D10PS

NEW YORK, Jlarch 5.—Tt(e trial of Mayor Hall is progrersing. S. C.Tynes, late Count's- Auditor, is on the witnes3 stand, and identified a warrant for the payment of the Garvey claims charged in the indictment. Arguments continued as to the admissability of this warrant as evidence. Finally, it being decided by Judge Esly that it could be taken as such for the guidance of the court, but not for the consideration of the Jury, the_ counsel excepted, and Tyne's examination continued, he giving details of the manner of keeping accounts of warrants and vouchers.

In this afternoon's proceedings at the trial of Mayor Hall, W. 9. Copeland, formerly in the Controller's office, testified as to the routine of business there. After some time, Judge Daly decided that sufficient preliminary proof for the court had been gfiven of the existence of a bill on account of Grarvey, on which .a warrant was issued, and sufficient preliminary evidence given to entitle the parties to give secondary evidence of the nature of such warrant.

Tremaine. for the prosecution, then offered the warrant $s evidence. Burrell, of the Mayor's flounsel, objected, claiming that the warrant was inadmissible as proof of neglect of duty.

Considerable argument, pro and con, ensued, on legal technicalities as to the admissibility of the warrant as evidence, Stough:on, of the Mayor's counsel, assert* ing that the time would not be wasted if he should prove it inadmissable, so that the case against the Mayor should be stopped.

Adjourned till to-morrow.

WASHINGTON.

CUSTOM HOUSE INVESTIGATION. At the afternoon session of the Custom House Investigating Committee, Schultz testified, on cross examination, that dock thieves had robbed the witness of eight gallons of Dutch gin within fifteen minutes after it was landed, and while a man who had been watching for the landing of the gin had run to tell a carman to take it to the store. He had been told, by the owners of four hundred bale3 of wool, that while it was on the wharf, the thieves came in boats, cut open the bales and stole the wool, and police had to be sent to protect the goods and drive away the thieves. On being cross examined by Bayard, witness said the only packages plundered were those invoiced for appraisement he could not get an answer as to who was responsible for the safety of goods on tbe wharves.

CINCINNATI, Mardi 8.—The Convention at Charleston, West Virginia, yestern day, adopted a system of county courts very similar to the system provided by the Constitution of 1870. Elach county, however, may have a oourt of the same jurisdiction, held by a single Judge or Commissioner. The report of the Committee on Corporations contains the same provisions as the Constitution of Illinois, on the subject railraoads.

PHILADELPHIA, March 5.—The fire is still smouldering on the eighth story of the Chestnut street front of Jayne's building, but is under control. The lower floors are so drenched with water and sheeted with ice,- that further damage is improbable. The Granite front on Chestnut street is not wholly damaged. On the Carter front the walls of the two upper stories fell into the roadway. A large number of telegraph wires belonging to the Franklin line are broken down, enveloped with ice to the dimensions of cables.- All adjacent buildings are sheeted with ice. The damage to the occupants of the main building is very serious, but to the occupants of the wing it was not so great. There are rumors of firemen burned by the falling of the Carter street front, but they cannot be traced to any reliable sources. The building was insured for about $80,000. which will cover the cost of its rwtoration.

Sr. Louis, March 5.—The statement telegraphed last night about the Cass county bond afiair, substantially agrees with accounts published here this morning, but it dues not yet appear that any swindle has been perpetrated, nor is it known what disposition of the bonds was intended—whether the county Judges and other parties concerned fled for fear of personal violence, or whether they actually absconded with the bonds, also remains to be sech. From the following special dispatch to the Democrat, it would appear that the Judges apprehend ed iwrsonal violence. The dispatch says considerable excitement prevails in Cass county on account of the issuance by the County Court, composed of Judges Stevenson and Forsyth, of $229,000 in bonds for the purpose oT funding the debt of the county on account of her subscription to the capital Block of the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company and interest which has accrued thereon. The Harrisonville Democrat published an extra on Saturday relating to the circumstances, accompanied by a band bill calling a public meeting at Pleasant Hill, on Wednesday, of all opposed to fraud. This handbill is of an incendiary character, and appeals to the people to take steps to resist the payment of the bonds, oust the present County Court and appoint members of a Committee of Seventy to defend the county and prosecute the offenders, etc Messrs. Ladue and Nichols, arrested here yesterday, insist that nothing criminal has been done, as will appear when the full circumstances of the c4se are made public.

A new schoolhouse in- Lowell, northern suburb of this city, was burned last night loss$9,000 insured for$5,000.

The Fort Scott (Kansas) Monitor, which was mentioned in a dispatch telegraphed last week, as or.e ot the Kansas papers which would probably join in the Liberal Republican movement of the State, denies any sympathy for, or connection with the movement.

ST. LOUIS, March 5.—Sheriff Bryant, of Cas3 county, arrived here this morning, and has been closeted with the police authorities most of the day. His statement, and that of A. C. Hinchman, who is also here in connection with the matter is in substance as follows: The Missouri Pacific Railroad, after holding the original $100,000 bonds several years from the time they were turned over to them by the military authorities, and findjng the people of Cass county averse to paying them, waived their claim, and delivered them to an agent of Cass county, taking his receipt therefor. Subsequently the County Court made an order to destroy the bonds, which now stands on the county records, but it appears they were not destroyed, and a few months ago it is alleged a ring was formed in and out of the County Court, to in some way legalize these bonds and sell them. This became known, and was strenously op posed by the people, who regarded the whole thing as a barefaced fraud. New bonds were printed, however, to the amount of tbe original issue, with accrued interest of 10 per cent., and last Friday, after adjournment of the regular session of the County Court, and one of the Judges, who was not in the ring had left for home, the remaining Judges, Stevenson and Forsythe, reconvened the court, and approved the issue of bonds, and Judge Stevenson, James Clinc, Robert B. Iliggins, and Ladue and Nichols, who were arrested here yesterday, took the bonds and immediately left the town. Previous to reconvening the court the clerk was invited out on some business by two of the Ring, but really to get him out of the way, and it was during his absence the bonds were approved and the record of the court signed by A. Young, deputy clerk, who was persuaded to do KO on repeated assurances that the action of the court was legal and_proper. It is stated that these bonds are in favor of some land and trust company, the exact name of which however, is not known. It is also staled that they are in aid of the St. Louis and Santa Fee Railroad, running from Holden on the Missouri and Pacific, to Paoli, Kansas, where it connects with the Missouri, Fort Scott and Gulf road. Judge Stevenson is known lo have come to Sedalia, Missouri, whence it is believed he went West on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road. Cline was at Wysndotte, Kansas, last night but eluded, the officers, acd probably has gone West. J. D. Hine, another of the Rine, and law partner of Cline, also fled and is supposed to have gone to California. K. B. Ilifrgins was arrested at Kansas Citv last night, and this forenoon shot himself through the head with a derringer while in the ralsboose, and died instantly. Judge Forsythe did not flee, as stated in last night's dispatch, and according to telegrams, has pledged himself to* remain at home, convene court, and with Judge Copeland, rescind the act by which the bonds were approved. All these .parties are men of standing, and Higuins was a merchant, and heretofore sustained a high reputation.

Periodic Disorders.

Tho paroxysmal maladies which are characterized by heat and cold, prevail extensively at this season, and it is a curious fact that in m*ny parts of tho country where thoy arc prevalent, other diseases, that bear no general resemblance to fever and tcuo, or remittent fever, assume a periodic type.— Thus, in many yctions infested with chills and fever, rheumatism, neuralgia, hysteria, diarrhoea, ic., sometimes becomo intermittent, thereby indicatinc that they have been engendered by tho tamo poisonous exhalations which produce the first named disease.

In all these masked cases cf ague—for such tbey are—as well as in tho regular intermittents, the mostsafe and reliable remedy that can be administered is Hostctter's Stomach Bitters. Neither quinine nor arsenic are needed. Urtb are in the highest degree dangerous. and are sure to leave sad traces of their poisonous action in the system, whether they arrest the paroxysms or not. In many instances all the so called specifics of the "regular" materia medica utterly fail to break up" Intermittent and remittent disorders. llut the great vegetable Tonic never fails. The spasm of the minute blood-ves-sels which causes tho chill, is the result of nervous weakness, producee by the debilitating operation of an unwholesome atmosphere. and the lone and rigor given 10 the nervous svsteiu by the Bitters, enable it to throw off the disease. The wiser PpUey. however, is to anticipate attacks of this nature, by arousing all the latent energies of tbe body At the commencement of tho uioUt and chilly season, with this incomparable antidote. By purminp this course, intermittents, remittents, rheumatism, colic, biliousness, dysi»«psia and pulmonary affections may prevented.
