^:TEBRE HAUTE, IND.

Wednesday Morning, Ang. 7, 1S72.

WELL-PRFORMED "Liberals" in Illinois concede that State to GKA"T and WLLSOJF.

JUDGE DAVID DAVIS yields to the Jjressure and will reluctantly support his successful rival, Mr. GREEI.EY.

COXNOLJ,Y is "disgusted with politics," and isn't going "to take part in the campaign." This is niclaneliolv.

SUMXER

says he don't think he'll ever,

make any more long speeches. This will be bad for paper manufacturers.

IF THE "Liberal" movement is formidable in these parts, it must be, like "little MAC'S" army, mostly in reserve.

EVANSVIJ.I.E is preparing for a visit from SCHURZ, the consideration having been satisfactorily arranged.

THE demonstration at Kichrnond, on •Saturday, was an immense afliiir and HENRY WILSON'S Indiana canvass opened auspiciously.

THAT staunch patriot, GENERAL DIX, Bays he "is incapable of supporting GREELEY because to do so, lie would have "to abandon all his political principles."

THE Chicago Times, of Monday, has an article entitled "VOORHEES on Consistency," which that eminent political gymnast should read. It will appear in The Express to-morrow.

HEAVEN lias averted a calamity Troiii the Republican party. TVEEI/.S threatened support of GRANT is a myth. He goes with the rest of "that crowd" for Mr. GREELEY.

IT IS understood that the eminent son-in-law of the canal ring, recently selected by Mr. ALVORD as the 1'olliwog candidate for Lieutenant Governor, will soon aBcend the stump in this part of the State

MR. JULIAN, in his tours about th country, seeks the society of the "Copperhead" wing of the late Democratic party. Doubtless lie* thinks it better to touch bottom at a single plunge, than to let diimself down by degress.

THE Democratic comuiitteo having GREELEY in charge, display an agonizing apprehension that he will open his •mouth and put his foot in it, before the election conies ofl". They have had enough of that sort of thing in the case of

GRATZ.

Mit."VoORHEiis' acknowledged ability as a criminal advocate is his "best holt" in this canvass, supporting, as he does, a cause whose adherents, according to Mr. GREELEY, belong, to a great extent, to "the criminal and dangerous classes."

THE Associated Press agent at Louisville, sends a report of a man being caught in machinery and having "his 'head crushed and torn from his body." Think of the charming simplicity of the agent when he adds that "it killed him instantly."

A SPEECH by CHARLES SUMNER and one by FERNANDO WOOD are being sent over the country in the same evclopo, under the frank of "FERNANDO A\ OOJJ." •Can it be possible that these two men have any principle or purpose in common except hatred of one man?

TIIE Cincinnati Gazette mentions, way of contrast, that when GRATZ BROWN went to the widely-heralded Columbus meeting, he spoke to an audience of eight hundred and when HENI^JT WILSON spoke at Richmond, on Saturday, there wero at least eight thousand before him.

UNQUESTIONABLY there are some lioneat men in the "Lityjjjil" movement Nevertheless it is an undeniable fact that a list of the sscoundrels whom GRANT'S administration has hunted down and kicked out of oflice, would go along way toward making a complete rosier of the "Liberal" faction.

THERE is something really refreshing in the air of sweet simplicity with which Mr. GREELEY'S personal organ says: "SALMON P. CHASE and CHARLES SUMNER were both sent to the United States Senate by such a combination as that which will clcct Mr. GREELEY to the Presidency. Who accuses these illustrious men of recreancy?

THERE isn't a more honest, high-toned journal in Massachusetts than the Boston Advertiser, which, in a recent issue, Bay3: "We were betrayed yesterday into tho remark that no one doubted Mr. SUMNER'S sincerity. It is impossible to read his appeal to the negroes to join him in his new alliance, and believe that he is sincere."

IF roFULAR enthusiasm, as evinced by largo attendance of political meetings, may be accepted as indicating the result of the approaching election in this State, the Republicans may safely count 011 victory. Dispatches and letters from all "points show that Republican gatherings have been much more numerously attended than those of the opposition.

Tn: Cincinnati Gazette mentions as ft significant fact that, 011 Friday morning, when the news seemed to indicate MERRIMAN'S election, the new York stock market was depressed, and late in the day. when it was decisively claimed that a Democratic triumph had been achieved, values of all classes of railroad securities were sharply depressed. Thus does Wall street, quick to detect the effect of elections as well as all sorts of political movements, respond to the intelligence of a GREELEY victorv.

THROUGHOUT the country there is a strong and increasing opposition to grand juries, and it seems not improbable that they may soon be reformed out of existence. The system is certainly open to many obvious objections, not the least of which is the abhorrent idea of t\r

THE Times and Chroniclc thinks there is some significance, just now, in the following indiscrfe^atowal wliiph,appeared in the New York Tr^pneiost Tjfetor^ie North Carolina deftion£| "There is* no part of the*,Union wKe.re Siitimidatiou is so easy. it istln ^rth 'Carolina, or' where a little mcnc-y will buy so many voter-."

SI.N'CE Mr. VooitUEEs' failure to clear Mrs. CLEM, how can He hope to Succeed in .hopeless, case

parte

trial for alleged crime. An innocent man. branded by an indictment, can never be entirely restored to his former standing. It seems fair and right—and ought, therefore, to be expedient—that the accuse should have a chance to face his accuser even in the initiatory st:»ges of prosecution.

THE Richmond Enquirer, in explaining the true meaning of the present political condition of the South, has a

few

sweet words for Northern Democrats. It says "For seven years we have been fighting the Radical party, as for four years we fought the Federal army and [during these seven long years, a during I those four disastrous years, we have been plooking to the Copperhead Democracy of the North to come to our aid and extriite us from the position in which they

Jaccd us. We have looked to them. rever.m vain. We found them £rlesB in peace to help us as they had tbentsclves unwilling or unable

which jow

engages his attention True, Mrs. CLEM had been repeatedly declared guilty by juries of her countrymen but the cause that Mr. V# is now defending has been more frequently and severely condemned by the. solemn verdict of the American people.

THE Indianapolis Sentinal ivill never succeed in working up to a respectable circulation, even among the Democracy of Indiana, while it wallows along in filth and vilencss., *URICKPOMEROY'Sdelectable sheet has so strong a hold on the field which the Sentinel essays to occupy, that none of its clumsy imitators will be able to oust it. There are quite a number of respectable Democrats in Terre Haute who carefully guard their homcn fru.n the influence of the Sentinel.

THE statement going the rounds ot the possum press of the "number of times GR^T has been absent from Washington" was prepared by a man whose "absence from Washington," some years ago, would have saved the government thousands of dollars. His name is .JOHN D. DKFKEES. GREELEY says he is Christian gentleman." 1 le has been long engaged in dodging trial 011 an indictment for conspiracy to defraud the government.

SUMNER'S letter to ULAJNE is so extremely thin that one can hardly believe it came from the pen of that distinguished Senator. All his argument depends on the monstrous assumption that the Democratic party is honest and sincere in its sudden conversion to Republican principles. Mr. SUMNER and all the world know this is all gammon.

IF MR. VOORHEES has anything like the degree of gratitude with which he is credited, he will have a few words to say in relation to the foolish but malicious proposal of the Democratic County Committee to "crush the Journal." No man ever had a truer friend than the Journal has always been to Mr. V00RII EES.

THE St. Louis Democrat gets off this model squib Things are getting lively in Illinois. Another '.loliet man' has come out for Greeley. lie was pardoned out. He will not take the stump, but he will take anything else he can get his hands on.

And this from the same is decidcdh good ", Sumrer will not succecd any better than Andy Johnscn in his attempt to play the role of Moses for the colored people. The difficulty with Moses Sumner, as it was with -Moses Johnson, is that he wants to halt the colored children on the wrong side of the river.

DAVID SANKEY, a highly respectable citizen of Newcastle, Pennsylvania, the honest and fearless editor of the Law rcncc Journal, was in jail a few days ago, and may be there yet, for publishing a sworn statement of fact about a ballotbox stufier. The wise lawmakers of that State have Enacted and continue to uphold. a statute which declares that "the greater the truth the greater the libel." Pennsylvania is disgraced by the existence of a law so shamefully unjust.

Gov. WIIYTE, of Maryland—ultra Southern Democrat—says the negro vote in that State will go almost solid for GRANT, and that SUMNER'S letter will have little influence with colored voteis anvwhere. He denies that the Democrats have abandoned their principles, as SUMNER pretends, and says they have only ''taken GREELEY and the Cincinnati platform

for a temporary purpose,"

and that, if successful, "the Democratic partv, with its .',000,000 of voters,

Tin-: Mail,denounces the: Internationale Society, and expresses the hope that it may never get a foothold in America. Every crowned head in Europe, every titled aristrocrat holding lands by feudal tenure, every religious organization living upon wealth wrung from the toil of the poor, sympathizes with the hope of the Mail. But the crushed and longsufl'ering people, the men who know that the highest use for which they are destined, is to he food for powder, look to the Internationale as their hope and guide. If the despotisms of the old world are to be overthrown, and they cannot live if modern thought advances, the Internationale will be the agent to accomplish their destruction. Granted that this society has done much wrong. Have the people ever yet organized to throw ofl'a hated yoke without going to excess? Witness the rising of the blacks in the West Indias. Witness every efort of the Irish people to shake off oppression and wrong. Must a principle be abandoned because some of its champions may be intemperate or over-zealous If this be logic, we must lock the wheels of human progress ami crush the aspirations of the people for wider opportunity and better life. The Internationale ran to excess in the red days of the Commune but, in principle, it is the enemy of war and the enemy of bloodshed, as it is the enemy of kings and the enemy of religion established by State and maintained .by the sword. It is the only organized champion in Europe of liberty, equality and fratcrnitv.

.THE Pemocrary had a barbecue 011 on Friday last at Lexington, Kentucky, and according to the correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, the favorable news from North Carolina induced some of the speakers to let the cat out of the bag. lion. JAMES B. BECK declared positively that the Democrats simply supported GEELEY as a means of getting into power, and upon his election a Democratic Congress would not only prevent GHEULY from doing harm,but would compel him to acquiesce in such measures as they deemed necessary. Col. BLACKBURN said some jvrsons are declaring th" Democratic party dead 1: was not so. This election would mike it more powerful than iver. He coincided in Mr. BECK'S idea as to why the Democracy supported GREELEY. Gen. GEO. B. HGIX capped the climax by declaring that, "Looking b.iek now upon what ho once considered the shattered and fruitless hopes of the South, lie saw that the equal rights and sovereignty of the States would be restored, aud that his comrades of the lost cause-have not died in vain, but this anticipated triumph would be the victory for which they fought." He also said that the letter of acceptance of HORACE GBKELEY meant the restoration of JOHN C. BRECKINRIDGE and other cliivalric sons of the South to their former positions of power and influence in the nation. it I Jf? \i

MR. "VOORHEES forgets that ing his present canvass on the Cincinnati^ Baltimore platform, instead:of his old Democratic floor timber and makes himself somewhat ridiculova, by opposing "that wl&h the oonditiottl d,his' candidacy obligate him to indorse and support-

Mr. V. utters long, loud and bitter wails about the evils brought on the South by "carpet baggers." Mr. V., who has himself shown in the most eloquent and forcible manner, that GRANT hnsbeen'a better friend to the South than GREELEY ever was, will admit, as he did a few weeks ago, that GRANT has done nothto sustain the so-called "carpetbaggers," except to enforce the various reconstruction, civil rights, and K11Klux laws. These were found absolutely necessary to prevent the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments from being dead letters in the.

South. Mr.

VOORHEES has further shown that GREELEY and the Liberal Republicans helped to create those amendments and to make the laws enforcing them, and have no right, therefore, to lay any of their fruits at the doors of either the white house or Congress. The Democrats who stand by Baltimore, however they may have hitherto opposed them, are pledged now to accept the amendments and to protect the freedmenin their new political rights. By indorsing the Cincinnati platform and nominees, Mr. VOORHEES has approved the work of which he complains, and has given his pledge to advocate just such work in the next Congress, should he be a member thereof.

THUS far, the anti-Republican combination in this State has been unable to get up even a semblance of enthusiasm. The "Liberals" appear ashamed of their allies, and very suspicious of their intention to carry out the trade in good faith. The Bourbons are sulky. And, what is of more importance, they are numerous, —sufficiently so to insure the defeat of the combination. The crow-eaters arc, as a rule, mortified, humiliated, disgusted. They see that they have sold themselves, politically, at an extremely low price— "dog cheap." The great rush of "discontented Republicans" that the soreheads assured them would "come out'» for GREELEY as soon as the Democratic party "committed a disgraceful suicide at Baltimore," hasn't yet appeared. And the few who have "come out" are mainly determined TO SUPPORT THE REPUBLICAN STATE AND LOCAL TICKETS. This is not what the terms of the bargain require. That contract binds the "Liberals" to support the Democratic State and local tickets IN CONSIDERATION OF DEMOCRATIC SUPPORT OF THE CINCIN

NATI NOMINEES. Already there if deep-seated dissatisfaction on both sides. There are mutterings of anger and discontent. The sell-constituted leaders, who plotted and bargained to transfer masses of voters, like so many sheep or hogs, find those same masses unready to be thus sold and delivered. For these, and other reasons, the "great movement" doesn't move any to speak of. The discordant elements of the proposed alliance obstinately decline to mingle. Instead of fraternal embraces, and bene dictions, and songs of joy, there arc accusations, and curses and recriminations. And so this great scheme of small men falls flat —in this State, extremely flat.

O11 the other hand, the Republican party is full of courage. It finds its harmony increased by the absence of the few hungry malcontents who have gone over to the enemy on the eve of battle, And when it undertakes to balance its books, it finds three or four accessions to its numbers for every loss. Whoever will look over this State, intelligently and honestly, will be compelled to admit that a victory awaits the Republican party in October and a greater one in November.

NORTH CAROLINA EJECTION.

NEW YORK, August 6.—The Tribune now estimates Merriman's majority, from its dispatches, which nearly cover the whole of North Carolina, at 1,311. The Word's Raleigh dispatches say the election will be very close that if Caldwell obtains the same ratio of gain in the counties to be heard from, he will be elected by a very small vote. Oustow county gave Merriman a gain of 400, which made his chances more favorable. The Herald's Raleigh dispatch says it will take the official count to decide. Democratic and Republican gains come in alternately, causing excitement and suspense. If Caldwell is declared elected, Merriman will contest. An estimate made by Phillips,Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, giving the State to Caldwell by 1,400 majority, is generally discredited. No confidence is to be placed in reports of majorities on either side. Cobb's Republican majority in the First District is one thousand. Thomas, Republican, Second District, probably eight thousand majority, Smith, Republican, Fourth District, eight hundred Waddel, Democratic, Third District, has seven hundred majority Leach, Democratic, Fifth District, six hundred Asha, Democratic, Seventh District. and Vance, Democratic, Eighth District, were elected by large majorities. The dispatches of Collector Young to the Times, claim the State for the Bcpublicans.

NEW YORK, August 0.—Special dispatches received from Raleigh to-day, give the State to the Republicans.

WILMINGTON, N. C., Aug. G.—The following official majorities are received New Hanover, revised, 1 for Caldwell, Republican gain 47o Brunswick, 1HI for Caldwell, Republican gain S!) Onslow, 400 for Merriman, Democratic loss 30. The official vote of but few counties can be got here, as nearly all are sent to Raleigh. Conservatives here are all very hopeful and relying on Western counties tc elect Merriman. Many leading Republicans concede Merriman's election by a small majority. The Star and Journal claim Merriman's election by about S00.

RALEIC.II, August 6.—Official returns to-day from counties already heard from, change but little the aggregate estimate heretofore given. Democrats still hold some t50 011 Shipp's, Democratic majority of 1870. Eleven counties are to hear from, which counties it is conceded will hold the vote of 1S70. Republicans are despondent to-day and Democrats hopeful. Both parties figure with approximating result. Information from the west this evening will doubtless decide the matter, with chances at present in favor of Merriman.

RALEIGH, August 6.—All the counties have been heard from except ten in the west. The vote thus far for Caldwell is even with that of Shipp's majority of 1S70 and in the remaining counties the candidates stand an even chance. Eight of the counties to be heard from are in the Eighth District, and eleven counties already heard from in that District gave Merriman a net gain of overonc hundred each. Everything turns upon this, and Democrats are hopeful of maintaining gains. Republicans are quite confident and claim Caldwell's election.

WILMINGTON, August 6.—The following official majorities have just been received at the State office, direct from registers of deeds of several counties. Rockingham county, Merriman majority 352, Burke 169, Gates 242, Harrison 282 Nash, Caldwell's majority 9. Comparison of official votes of counties, received at the State office with unofficial votes on which estimates are based at Raleigh, show errors in at least half the counties. In the report of Union county alone, there is an error in Merriman's favor of 175 votes. It is believed here that nothing but the official court will decide the result. Both parties seem hopeful tonight. -V* /v

HEX WILSON.

THE BRAZIL DEMONSTRATION.

WA MOSSIER MASS MEETING.

The meeting at Brazil yesterday a grand success in every sense pf the -wordProm early morning the masses poured

into iown from all directions, and at the time of the arrival of the speakers upon the grounds there were at least five thousand persons presant. The mines, manufactories, and as general thing,- -the business houses suspended operations in order that all might have'an opportunity of hearing the eloquent Senator.

The laboring men in the vicinity formed in procession, and headed by the Brazil Brass Band, proceeded to the depot,, where they met Senator Wilson, and from thence escorted him to the residence of Mr. H. L. Ashley, where he dined after which he proceeded to the grove, where the vast concourse was waiting to receive him. Upon mounting the stand, the Brazil band furnished some music, which was followed by excellent singing by the Terre Haute Grant Glee Club, which was hailed with cheers and a demand for a repetition.

There was a short delay on account of the absence of Col. Thompson, the President of the meeting. Gen. Lew. Wallace was appointed to act in his stead until his arrival, General W. came forward, and in a very few words introduced the distinguished orator of the day —"Senator Wilson, the next Vice President of the United States."

Upon coming forward, the Senator was greeted with cheers, after which he proceeded with his speech, which lasted about an hour, and of which the following is a brief summary:

Mr. President and fellow citizens: The Republican party is now in its greatest strength, and cannot yet give up its power. It has been ordained by God that man shall live by the sweat of his brow but the Democratic party has never sought to carry out this on the contrary, dfiririg all the" ages of its existence, a privileged few have sought to live upon the unpaid toil of the masses of mankind. IIolv writ teaches us that we are all bhildreii of a common Father one brotherhood that all men have a right to culti vate their heads and make of themselvet what it was intended they should be. By the toil, suffering, energy and persever ance of our ancestry we have founded government resting upon human equali ty, and in so doing we have drawn to us the love and affection of toiling millions in the old world.

Human slavery, which held four mil lions of men and women in bondage, had ever been a source of trouble to the country, and finally came to a conflict in 1 SCO, when Lincoln was elected to the Presidency. Then the people rallied. 31 it true some of the statesmen of the Republican party wanted to let slavery stand, but God would not tolerate it, sc it went down in the great conflict.

The Republican party has ever been on the side of* the brotherhood of man liberty and equality, and has the blessing of God with it. The Republican party now asks again for the support and confidence of the American people, and why should it not have it? It has beer. 011 the side of humanity all the time it has been a patriotic party it went for a whole country in peace aud in war it was willing to sacrifice everything in order that the nation might be saved. AVe want every honest Democrat to come forward and help us, and we will extend to him a welcoming hand.

Never has a party done so much for a country as has ours during the past eleven "years it has been the friend of the working men of the country, and its whole policy has been to extend, to elevate, and build up the laboring interests of the country. The Democratic party has not done this foreigners think that across the ocean is a great free country where the laboring man is recognized as a power in the land but when they came to this country did they go to the South? No! Why? Because there labor was extorted by "the menace of the lash. I11 .twentv vears only about 20,000 of them went "into the South. In the war we destroyed that, and have made labor honorable in the South, so that now men can go there and labor, and it is becoming more honorable to work, every day.

The system of freedom which we advocated "was small farms, where a man stands upon his own acres independent we wanted to have the public lands divided into small tracts for actual settlers, while the Democratic party wanted large plantations. When the "Republicans passed the homestead law it was vetoed, and that veto was sustained by the Democratic party. We sought to bind the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, but the Democratic party opposed it successfully until after the war, when we succeeded, and now we have one Pacific Railroad and another in 'course of construction, thus opening the depths of the continent to the poor men of the country. All this has been done by the Republican party.

During the war when taxation was heavy we relieved the poor man from the burden of the income tax, and increased the rate on the wealth of the country. We hold the doctrine of establishing schools, that the poor man may educate his children,

Tfccre is another question which I want to present to you, and that is taking care of the industries of the country. While I was in England last year I heard much talk about our "protective tariff they said our system tended to make their working men discontented, because we paid too much for our labor, which tends to draw their workmen here, and make those-who remain at home demand higher wages. Now that is just what the Republican partv wants. In the United States a laboring man can command from three to four times as much as he could when I was a youth. Foreigners complain because they want to sell us their goods. It is out duty to take care of our own interests, and 1 am for that before looking after those of any other country 011 earth.

I like beauty, but should feel that we want to give an opportunity to the masses of the people to better their condition. I believe the country was made to make good men and women, and during the past ten years the policy of the government lias tended in that direction. Look back a few years and you will see that the tendency is to elevate and better the condition of the masses.

Republicans who want to leave us had better stop and look before doing se we area strong body of men those who stand on their own acres in the North are with us the church-going people who do not want to turn their backs upon the past are with us the great body of women are with us, and 1 hail it with delight, for when good mothers are with us, we may be sure of being on the right side. We' can better spare those who wish to leave us than they can the Republican party. We have had it tried. When Lincoln was elected and the war commenced, a great many weak ones went back, and when the emancipation proclamation was issued, these men grew pale. When the war was over and Andrew Johnson went back on us, for our advancement, in wanting every man to stand on his own feet, while the South wanted men to act as serfs, still the partv survived. And now comes this last movement at Cincinnati, composed of men who have been wanting power: JO me of them men who have advocated great doctrines but only until they saw thev could make more out of something else: these nre not the men whom Jthe people are going to place in power. 1 had always supposed the Democratic partv were honest in their adheision,to slavery, until a few months ago, when that party, numbering three millions of voters, and containing in its rairks men among the foremost of the nation, chanced in so short a time. How could they honestly do it They repent just enough to get into power. 1 don't believe in it. They admit wc have been right and endorse what we have done they admit that their eyes have been shut wb'-n ours have been open wc did our duty, therefore, and must go out while they go in who admit they have never been tit to guide the councils of the nation. For what we have done they ask us to sacrifice our great leader, who will have more lines in history one hundred years hence than any one hundred men who are denouncing him to-day. They ask us to cast aside Morton, a man who has distinguished himself in the councils of the nation, and our tried and true repre-/

sentatives in G^agresa. ?Do yon propose to do it? (Cries of 110! no!) Rather let this party who arc clataoring for power, wait and prove by four years fidelity to their principles.S3 a minority, that they are fit for it.

The speaker was repeatedly interrupted by applause. The meeting called for Col. Thompsein, who came forward and said he did not propose to make a speech, but the cries for a speech were so numerous and pressing that he was compelled to proceed. He spoke for about half an hour, during which time lie reviewed the Cincinnati platform, and "analyzed that document satisfactorily, and closed with a few remarks on the question of the tariff.

Gen. Wallace was called for, but excused himself on the ground that he had but a very*short time in which to reach the depot, and that he was responsible for having Senator Wilson at Crawfordsville to-night.

Thanks are due to the people of Brazil for the energy displayed by them in their endeavors to make the meeting a success, and all who were present coincided in the opinion that they were amply rewarded. It seems to be the general opinion that Clav county is good for a Republican majority of 300.

A BIG DAY FOR TEKRE 2IAUTE.

.*( «,,«. 'ftrji*

OF THE CINCINNATI RAILWAY.&t$f&^

OPENING

GREAT CROWD, GREAT SPEECHES AND GREAT DINNER.

HISTORY OF THE ROAD.

The people of Terre Haute jvere astonished by the publication of the fact, 011 the 27th day of June, 1871, that articles of association of the Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railway Company had been filed with the Secretary of State. No previous intimation of a purpose to construct such a road as the one contemplated by this organization, had been given.

It was at first planned as a narrow gauge double-track line, to connect the two cities named in the title of the corporation. The amount of the capital stock of the company was fixed in the articles of incorporation at four million dollars. The first directors named were Nathan M. McDowell, William Bleakley, Samuel Marks, A. B. Quackenbush, Jno. D. Scully, Jas. Small and Jas. B. Foley. The road was projected to run from Terre Haute through the counties of Vigo, Clay, Owen, Monroe, Brown, Bartholomew, Decatur, Ripley and Dearborn in the State of Indiana, and in the .direction of Cincinnati.

The Board of Directors was subsequently reorganized to include Linus A. Burnett, of this city.

A petition signed by thirteen hundred property holders was soon secured in this city, asking the Council to subscribe §100,000 to aid in the construction of the road. On the 12th of October, 1871, the Council made the subscription asked, with the condition that the machine shops of the company should be established here, and that the road should enter the city on First or Water street.

Soon after this Brown county voted a tax of two per cent. 011 all property for this road, and other local subscriptions were secured.

In the meaniime General Plcasanton had been chosen President of the company, and the plan of a narrow gauge double-track was road changed to standard gauge single track.

On the 4th day of December, 1S7I, a bitter cold day, the first shovelful of elirt was thrown in the construction of the road, by L. A. Burnett, Esq., near Lockport, in this county. On the 14th day of March the first spike used in the construction of the road was driven by L. A. Buritelt, Esq. A short speech was made by Col. R. W. Thompson.

On the loth of February, a committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade, of Cincinnati, visted this city for the purpose of examining the prospects and reporting upon the advantages of this road to that city. The report of this committee was most favorable, iki

On the 19th of February tho corporation was organized in Ohio, by Laz. Addcrson, Jos. C. Buttler, T. G. Gay lord, R. M. Bishop, Geo. II. Hill, Geo. II. Pendleton and Luke T. Brien. ..•

PROSPECTS.

Of the prospects of this county, opened up by this new line, and of the advantages accruing to Terre Haute, it may be well to say something. No better comments can be made on this topic than by quoting from the letters of Prof, J. W. Foster, one of the most eminent practical scientists in the country, published in the N. Y. Tribune, last winter.

Of the quality of the block coal of Clay county, vast mines of which will be opened upon the line of this road, Prof. Cox says:

Without fear of contradiction, I pronounce the block coal of Indiana the best mineral fuel yet known to the world for the manufacture of pig metal, bar iron, or steel. In the blast furnace in produces a metal in every respect equal to the best charcoal iron made from the same ores. In the puddling furnace a less quantity is required of block coal than of the best Pittsburg coals to make a run of bar or wrought iron. The bars arc brought off in a shorter space of time, and the quality of the iron is better. The gray pig iron made with the raw block coal, in Clay conntv, from a mixture of Lake Superior and Missouri hematite ores, is used with excellent results in the manufacture cf Bessemer steel at Chicago. Mr. Robinson, Superintendent of the Union Rolling Mills there, writes that "the Indiana coal seems to be just the thing for steel." ".v

S *S S 9 The Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railroad, now constructing, is about to cross this block coal zone along a line where it attains its greatest width, and where the peculiar seam exhibits its greatest thickness. The zone is not less than ten miles broad. The coal seam ranges from four to five feet, and in some places exceeds even five and one-half feet in thickness. Chemically it is as rich in fixed carbon and gives as white an ash as the best Brazil coal. I append a single assay (Oberhaltzer's mine:) Water, 0.80 fixed carbon, 01.30 volatile matter, 34.20 ash, quite white and ljght, 3.G-3. The seam is said to be six feet thick, five of which were exposed at the time of my visit. It has a sulphur band in the middle, which is easily separable. The territory underlaid "by the block coal, immediately adjacent to the railroad, or which can be reached by short lateral branches, comprises a little more than three townships, situated in the southern portion of Clay county and the western part of Owen. Admitting that one-third of the area originally oe-cupied by this scam has been swept away by drift agency, there remain nearly 50,000 acres of four-feet coal, capable" of yielding about G,000 tuns to the acre, or an aggregate of 300,000,000 tuns.

The construction of the Cincinnati S Terre Haute Railroad must lead to the rapid development of this region, both in the erection of furnaces, rolling mills, founderies, Ac., for the local consumption of these peculiar coals and in the opening of numereus collieries for the supply of distant and widely separated markets. This region has superior advantages over Brazif as a dense manufacturing center, in an unfailing supply of water, furnished by Eel river. That Brazil is deficient in this respect, and that no method has vet been devised to remedy this deficiency are iacts natc-rious to every one conversant with her industry. Terre Ilaute, as lhave shpwn in a former letter, combines in an eminent degiee all the requisites for a manufacturing site and if even

another Brazil is destined to spring ug_ on the banks of Eel river, it will be no* detriment to her trade.

Of the block cOal region and ihajmannfactnre of Bessemer steel, he saysr*

It requires no prophetic vision to fore-' see that, beforethe lapse .of half a centu--ry, the olocfc coal region of IneMna Will be the principal seat of Bessemer steel manufacture, not only of this country, but of the world.

OPEXIXG.

Yesterday, the 0th day of August, was fixed for the formal opening of the road It had been completed to Middleburv, in Clay county, and thirty miles of track were down. The road was ready to make its formal showing 6f twenty-five miles of road to secure the $100,000 from the city of Terre Haute, 'T.

Two trains, twenty-two passenger cars in all, were ready on the track of the road near the west end of Main street, at ten o'clock. Vast throngs of citizcns were attracted to that portion of the city. First street never looked so gay before. The trains were soon filled.

At about eleven o'clock the first train moved ofi', quickly followed by the second. There was something very novel to old citizens in riding down First street on a railroail train. The novelty was rather increased as the trains plungeel diagonally through the corn fields of the southern part of the prairie, tui i-1'i,

A verv large number of the guesfs of the road were? from abroad. In such a throng it was impossible to secure a complete list of names of these visitors. A reporter of The Express was able to

secure,

however, the following

Officers of other railroads—John Lee. President Logansport, Crawfordsville & Southwestern W. B. Tucll, President T. H. & Southwestern Superintendent Pease and Assistant Superindent Mack, of the I. & St. L.

The trains arrived at Lockport at twelve o'clock. A crowd was at the elepot and a number of persons joined the excursion. Many new houses have gone up in Lockport.

Beyond Lockport the road traverses the beautiful clay prairie region. The farms looked fertile anel the crops promising.

Many people joined the excursion af' Corey, fourteen miles from the city. At Saline, about eighteen miles from the city, another crowd greeted the trains. This is a promising town. Several new houses are going up, and the large stave factory of Messrs. Pickett and Jenckes is nearly ready for work,

Soon the trains reached Eel river, the "bottoms" of which are the finest corn lands in North America. The Eel river region has always been noted as the greatest "hog and hominy" section of the West. Near the crossing made by the new railroad lie the farms of "old Tom Harris, amounting in the aggregate to fourteen hundred acres. Mr. II. has six hundred acres in corn this season. He says that some of it will make 80 bushels to the acre, and it is decidedly the most promising crop he has ever grown.

At a few minutes past one the trains arrived at the end of the track. No Middleburv was to be seen, as it was 011 the other side of a hill from the track The excursionists walked to a grove near, where ample preparations were made for their reception. Not less than fifteen hundred people went down 011 the trains,

anel fully that number were on the grounds to greet them. After music by the bands, the assemblage was called to order by Henry Graham, of Middleburv. Tlios. II. Bagnell proposed three cheers for the railroad and Matt. P. Wood, its Superintendent.

Henry Grim, of Middleburv, made an address of welcome. After long waiting, he said, we see the dawn

the day which

brings us connection with the outside world. We bid you hearty welcome. Entertainment is provided for all.

The vast crowd was then invited to the well-filled tables, and three thousand people dined well. So large a banquet has hardly been given before in the State. The food was provided by the road and by the citizens of Clay county.

After dinner the assemblage was called to order by L. A. Burnett, who introduced ntOF. J. W. FeiSTER,

Of Chicago, who spoke substantially as foflows: MR. PRESIDENT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN It is my impression that there are many people here te-day. I need not express my gratification upon my return and upon witnessing the great change" which hive occurred since my last visit here. Tuirty miles of this railroad have been built, equipped and made ready for traffic, into the heart of the great block coal region, and the foundation of more railroad has been laid. This indicates the dawn of a new era which gives you a home market and. bring? you in closer relations with the great cities of the West.

Ten years of prosperity will work great changes in this region. Streams will Sow as usual, hills will remain and the topography of the country will continue the same but populous cities will spring up, yonr water-courses will not flow unvexeef to the sea, but will pay tribute to factories and blazing furnaces.

Three years ago I wandered through this region with a geological hamuer and

He disturbs your midnight slumbers with puff and wheeze and blow like Leviathan.. He causes iron to flow red from the iurnade«." He shakes the ground as by an carthqnaltc~t*'a"i'""''IMlw,'M""r|"

GEN. ALFRED PLEASANTON

Was then introduced. He spoke substantially as follows: FELLOW CITIZENS:—AS President of this railroad I thank you for the deep interest shown in its construction. I am no stranger to citizens of Indiana. The 3d Indiana Cavalry was second to no regiment in the Army of the Potomac. Its members were trusty and true, I feel that this is true of all the people of Indiana.

I have been lately abroael and found that the feeling stands high therein reference to Indiana, and this railroad enterprise stands well in Europe to-day. None stands higher. We are apt to think that they don't know us abroad. They know more of 113 than you think they do. The facts concerning your coal, climate, your location on the great east and west routes, are well known over the water. Statistics concerning your facilities for manufacture of Bessemer steel have been laid before them.

Our organization is now complete. I don't want to make a speech. We are prepared with a speech-maker, but we have given him a furlough to-elay. He wants to go to Congress, and is doing a little outside work.

EX-GOVEENOR FLETCHER,

Of Missouri, then spoke about as follows: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN :—I am rejoiced to be with you, and am glad of this pleasant opportunity to greet you. This is not the first time that I have been under Gen. Pleasanton. He has always done that which I think good.

I wish that I had the voice of one of your iron-throated locomotives to make all this crowd hear me.

I cannot speak of this enterprise from a local standpoint. We of St. Louis look to it with interest as a connecting link in a great through line. We knew that Robert Bagnell had a contract to build a railroad over here,, and we knew that dirt woulel be niaele to fly until it was completed. As for Pleasanton, half of the people of the State can't keep him from building the road, now that it is underway.

It is a great thing to be an American citizen. Though 1 do not rejoice with you to-elay as a citizen of Ineliana, I do congratulate yon as a citizen of the republic, and as a citizen of this great val-ley,-1 am proud of your triumph. "We stand to-elay 011 a coal field of 400 sejuare miles. It is the best for iron manufacture in the world. Wc are almost in sight of the great mountains of iron in Missouri. These will yield 10,000,000 tons per annum for one hundred years. This coal and iron seek each other. Our great bridge at St. Louis will be done in a year, and that is the link to bind the East and the West. Here in the Missippi valley we will have mastery of the iron manufacturing of the world. England's supply of ore is giving out. Two little mines in Lecestershire of compact hematite ore, suiteel to the manufacture of Bessemer steel, have orelers ahead for all they can supply in two years. They have all manner of labor troubles in England. .The scepter will be taken from Gaeat Britain as master of the iron market of the world. We shall grasp it. It belongs here in the Mississippi Valley, where we have the irern and cewl.

You have heard of St. Louis—the village which Chicago "sometimes refers to. You can almost see St. Louis, looking from here across the prairies. There are there 300,000 laborers, your co-laborers. They will help to augment your wealth. Soon yoti will have a Southwestern railroad bringing to you the ores of Iron Mountain.

Terre Haute will soon be a great- smoking city like St. Louis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Everybody will go into iron. St. Le'iuia and Missouri shakes hands with Indiana, and bid you God speedy

JUDGE CARTER,

Of Cincinnati, then spoke. The following is a brief synopsis of his remarks MR. PRESIDENT: Looking over the hotel register on my arrival to attend this beautiful celebration, I found people from the north, south, east and west. So, here to-day, we find people from all over the union. I am glad to address you.

It has been my misfortune never to have visited Terre Haute before. I went there with promises that it was a city worthy to be looked at. Terre Haute is to become one of the most important of the cities of the Union, because she lias to aid her, "Old King Coal."

The Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railway will furnish the shortest connection between Cincinnati and Terre Haute. This road is well made anel all right. We have just been ovor it. Its officers are energetic and full of capacity.

The speaker then discussed railroaeli ably and at length. In the course of his remarks lie rcael the following favorable extracts from a report of Prof. Richard Owen in reference to the C. & T. II Railway. 1. It forms part of the great thoroughfare between Cincinnati and St. Louis,— two of the largest commercial cities of the great West. 2. It passes through several counties in which the best of coal is found, and large beds of iron ore. o. It traverses a geiod agricultural region, which ships wheat, corn, hogs, and ealtle, besides stone and lumber. 4. The route has abundant supplies of timber and water. o. There are no heavy graeles, sharp curves, or expensive bridges along the route. 6. No other route runs parallel to it, except at a distance which would not interfere with the carrying trade of the counties passeel through, yet would preclude all probability of any intermediate road ever being establisheei. 7. A region is opened up by this road which has hitherto had 110 available outlet, and will doubtless now rapidly develop.

The speaker concluded with this sentiment Cincinnati and Terre Haute: Loving each other always, may they be tied toeether now bv tlie stoutest bonds.

HON. B. \V. HANNA

Said MR. PRESIDENT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I will have but very few words to say. This region in Clay county, has Iwen pierced for the first time by the whistle of the locomotive. Commercial prosperity eiiters in with it. What has brought here these intellectual faces? John M. Foster, one of the mest learned men we have is here in the wilderness. This is a great event. Our wonderful mineral resources have brought together this assembly.

Mr. Hanna ably discussed railroads at length, and the rise in value of real estate. He predicted that, twenty-five years hencc, Clay will be the richest county in tbe West.

Mr. Hanna was followed by John Hough, of Fort Wayne, in a very interesting speech.

PRESIDENT JOHN LEE,

Of the L.C.&S. W. R. R., said: GENTLEMEN AND FELLOW CITIZENS:— I would like to speak to yon, bnt the tour ia late and 1 shall not detain you.

i""'"

The arch conspirator in. this railraod enterprise is William Frazier, assisted by numerous others. Gen. Pleasanton, a man of important service to the civil and military branches of the government, is its President. He has as active coadjutors, Messrs. Matt. P. Wood and N. Al. McDowell." L. A. Burnett is deep in this conspiracy. I shall not speaK of Gen. Hunter and Gen. Small, until the reiad gets to their home in Bloomington.

Terre Haute received its first substantial impetus from the opening of the raid to Indianapolis. All the politicians are at Brazil to-dav, and I propose a little side remark that such men as Chauncey Rose, Riley McKeen and Josephus Collett have done more for Terre Haute than all the politicians ever born in the Wabash Valley.

It has been remarked that he who causes two blades of grass to grow where one grew before is a benefactor. He who opens lines of communication, making crude material subservient to human wants is doublv a benefactor.

I congratiHue General Pleasanton. I reach oat mvyhand to greet him. Two and^epe-hau'^'ears ago,I commenced the constroe&oit of a road to Terre Ilantc. I left my farm for that purpose. One hundred and twenty miles of mv road are now in successful operation, 'these coal fields first attracted me. I hope, in tlie next year and a half to run,it 150 miles further, giving you an outlet to Cleveland and Toledo.

Prof. Cox says that," in this countyalone, there is coal worth six thousand million dollars, enough to pay the national debt three times over. I say to vou that the time is coming when you will have here the richest conntv ftv the State. This railaoad will become a great trunk line for produce and iron.

Pennsylvania has been built up by iron. Terre Haute is destined to be the Pittsburg of the West.

After a few additional rejfmrks, President Lee concluded, and-Uhc exercises ended.

The trains returnee! to the city wi^^ut accident. Nothing happened during the dav to mar the" pleasure of the ox asion.

A GREAT MEETING.

GENERAL HUNTER WELCOMED IN GOOD STYLE.

A GOOD SPEECH AXD GREAT ENTHUSIASM.

The largest political assemblage of the campaign greeted Gen. Morton C. Hunter, Republican nominee for Congress, in this city,Monelay night. Early in the evening Republican voters assembled at the First ward headquarters, on Main strecti where all uniforms and torches ready for use were quickly taken by members of the First Ward Grant Club, anel a procession was formed, which marched through the streets, preceeleel by brats music. The procession, which was under the charge of I. L. Malian, presented a beautiful anel dazzling appearance. It was more than one square in length, and considering the small effort to organize it, is worthy of being calleel a complete success. It marched to the residence of L. A. Burnett, Esq., and escorted his guest, Gen. Hunter, to the Wigwam. This structure was very nearly filled with ladies and gentlemen before the return of the procession. After its return the whole enclosure was crowdcd, and the street on the outside, even, was thronged.

The vast assemblage was called to order by N. Filbeck, Esq., Chairman of the County Committee, upon whose motion L. A. Burnett was calleel to preside.

After some excellent music by the Glee Club, Mr. Burnett introeluccel Morton C. Hunter.

The speaker first reviewed his opponent's Congressional record during the war, showing that he never hael voteel upon any single occasion to raise money or means to sustain the soldiers either for food, clothing, arms or anything that would assist and help them. That while lie claimed to have introduced a bill in Congress to pay soldiers twenty-five dollars a month, he knew there was no money in the Treasury and that he had never voted to put money there for any such purpose, that while he avoided a vote upon every occasion possible, he hael voted upon one occasion and that was

a bill in

favor

of a vigorous

prosecution of the war. I11 this manner the speaker continued to show the ludicrousness anel dishonesty of Mr. V's claim to be the soldiers' friend.

He next passed to a review of the tax and tariff questions, saying in substance: We have a large tax upon our shoulders, which must be paid how to pay it is the question.

Mr. Voorhees proposes to do it by free trade and direct taxation. I do not agree to such a method. The speaker illustrated what tariff was, showcel what the money thus raised was used for what would be the result of free trade how it would break down manufactories a*ul drive the manufacturers into preiducing, how this would break down our home markets, making bad times for the farmers, and ruining the merchants anel me chanics. He then explained direct taxa tion, and showed how, if a revenue sufficient to carry on the government were thus raised, five years would bankrupt the country and sell all the lands- to pay the taxes. He next illustrated the plan of the Republican party in levying taxes and paying the debt, showing that the revenues of the government hael been drawn from the luxuries of life anel not upon the staples 6r necessities—from the wealth of the nation anel not from the poor. The speaker said he left it to the common sense of all to say which was the wiser and better way, which lighter and more easily borne by the people Passing to events of the last two or three months he read Mr. Voorhees' letters to Mr. Briggs and to a gentleman in Bedford, and lastly his Spencer speech, saying men before the people like himself and Mr. V. were in the habit of making promises to the people, the question of the people was who would keep them. Referring to a speech made by him when in Congress, he showed that his ideas was still the same as at that time. How was it with his opponent? Who could tell how often and quickly he would change?

At the close, he reviewed in a very able manner the financial doings of the Republican party, showing the value of our currency and comparing it with the money in use before the war. He revieweel the "Anything to beat Grant" cry, and showed its utter groundlessness in reason, anel said it was with the voters to say whether they would continue in power the party which had done so much for the gooel of the people and the cause of humanity.

The speech was listened to most attentively throughout, anil evoked great enthusiasm. It was one of the most convincing efforts of the campaign. Gen. Hunter made hundreds of new friends last night.

THE agents of the Vandalia and T. & St. L. R. R. commenced "cutting" Monday on excursion fare from Grcencastle to the Wilson meeting at Indianapolis. The Vandalia finally offered to take people for nothing, and it is reiorted that the I. & St. L. then offered teju cents apiece for passengers. All Grccncastle turned out in force. There never was so popular an excursion. Passengers whf went on the Vandaiia for nothing were very mad when they found how extravagant they had been.

THE new gas pipe now being laid on the streets is ten indies in diameter, The sections are twelve feet long, and weigh 612 pounels. About 4,000 feet, or nearly one mile will be put down now. It ismanfactured by Dennis Long & Co., of Louisville, Ky., and the 4,000 feet costs about $8,000, exclusive of the expefise of laying it. The old pipe is but five inches in diameter. It hits been in use sixteen years and ie yot in a perfectly good condition, but is too small to supply the present demands of the city.

THE Wabash is so low that Terre Haute is threatened with another milk famine. The milkmen own most of the pumps, have got up a corner in chalk, and much suffering will follow unless it rains soon. —[St, Louis Globe,
