GKANT did not nominate Ben Butler for Chief Justice. Tho country should not forget this. It is credit, able to him—that is to say to—but the reader may take his choice. We are in doubt which it was creditable to, Grant or Butler.

THE confessions of Pinohback, aB to the way in which the election in Louisiana was carried, constitute a pleasant subject for rollection. It was foreordained of the managers, before ever the election was held, that Grant should br his Hijccessor, totally eclipsing the brightness of hls'iniljtary career with tlie darkness of hits civil administration.

TIIF, Sullivan Democrat cannot, read its title clear to indiscriminate ubuso of Congressman Holmau, for his independent and manly action. Indeed, the Democrat appears to be delighted with Ifolman's conduct. "We more than half suspect that It would follow Holman in the right, as he has been, in preference to Democracy in the wrong, as it has been and is.

THE President his approved the decrease of salary bill. Having the Supreme Judges, who may fairly be held guiltless of any complicity in the raid upon the treasury, the President is now the sole participator in lie salary steal, who will still continue to pocket increased pay. It is now time for Beck or some of the opposition leaders in the House, to cut down the appropriations for household expenses, leaving the high salaried President to pay his family bill*.

POSTMASTER GENERAL CKKSWE£L recommends the free transportation of weekly newspapers within the counties of their publication. He gives no reason for this recommendation, and, indeed, it is difficult to understand what there Is about newspapers entitling tliera to be put in tho free list, or what argumeut there is in favor of such plan, which does not also hold good with reference to beef or bread, within tho county of its butchering or baking. There 19 reason, it is said, in all thiugs, but this recommendation certainly refutes that idea, and shows that there may bo things'wholly "destitute of

THE chUdreji of Israel, when they were sojourning in Egypt, did succeeded in making bricks without straw—almost anything difficult is possible with the childreu of Israel, who we take it are pretty shrewd specimens of humanity—but we have yet to learn either that they enjoyed the sport ot' that the bricks were good for any tiling. Now, our American Congress can set the mills of the Treasu ry fo grinding out paper, it can plaster that paper nil over with dollar marks, It can decree to pay the na tiou's debts with that paper, it can do all this without a cent of gold in the treasury, wherewith to redeem that paper, or any expectation of making its llaring promises good, but we question, nevertheless, whether that paper would be as good as gold in the markets of the world, or the people would be altogether happy with it.

POLITICIANS may talk all they please about the foolishness of the civil service regulations, one thing, at least, in their favor has come to light within the past few days which •will go far towards commending them to the people. By the "death of one Sweet the Deputy Coinmlsslonership of Internal Revenue was left vacaut. The Civil Service Board have advertised a competitive examination to fill the vacancy. Congress now disgusted with the Idea of an oleaginous offico being given away without any chance atlbrded them for paying oft Iheir political debts, have come to the conclusion that the Deputy Commisslonership of Internal Revenue i3 a wholly unnecessary office, a mere sinecure, which ought "to be cut off altogether. To this end a bill has passed the House'and is now before the Senate. We say this is good. Officials may hereafter uie oft as fast as they please, and give the country, by the aid of the Civil Service Examining ard, an opportunity to find out iu.d off ail fctie unnecessary offices. Tin civil service phould be regulated by being cut down about one-half.

THE effort of modern thought has been, to devise way a and means by which the rights of a minority, in a republican form of government, might be better cared for. There are but few checks and balances in our Government guarding the conceded rights of the minority against the encroachments and overriding power of a dominant majority. Our electoral system is bad on this account, as is also our whole election system. The people are demanding, and the times are calling lor, some method by which the rights of the minority may be protected and their views be made to have some influence in shaping legislation. It Is, therefore, a matter of deep regret that Congress yesterday, in the ex exercise of its sovereign imbecility, should alter its rules, thiowing down one of the barriers which hitherto protected the minbrity in some small degree, or gave them an opportunity of holding the majority responsible for the defeat of certain measures,

Heretofore it has been possible for the minority, by a simple motion and second, to suspend the rules of the House, and introducing some measure, secure a vcte upon It. This rule the Republicans, under the lead of Ben Butler, have changed, so that now, for a suspension of the rules, the motion must be seconded by a majority of the House. This practically takes away all power of the minor! ly. It was a shameless piece of partisanship, deserving rebuke.

Tun Vfuerame Journul la offended at the use by the GAZETTE of a part of Its report or tne Council proceedings. The Journal places Its remarks on this subject under the bead of "cribbage." Now, the facts of the case are, that tho report was copied from the Express, and due credit given therefor. Who wrote the report we did not inquire. It was a good one, and substantially correct. I{,the Journal editor was the author, then are we rejoiced at the opportunity to compliment him on his proficiency, ir lie keeps on doing so well, and can furnish satisfactory testimonials as to his good character, we will pu,t' him on our list of candidates for positions on the GAZETTE, and promise to give his claims an early consideration. By-the-by, into the body of the GAZETTE'S report was incorporated Councilman Hager's speech entire. That was not copied. Will the Journal rise up and say where it procured that speech for ft ia In its issue of to-day, taken without credit, from the GAZETTE of yesterday, unless it was furnished with a duplicate copy of the speech. We fear the bitef Is bitten.

SUPERVISING ARCHITECT MULLETT has developed a facility lately for making plans and specifications for public buildings, which before they are carried out invariably exceed the limits of cost set by Congross. His estimates are always outrun. If tliis painful disease shall appear, upon investigation, to beclironic, it would, of course, be cruel to insist upon active duty from oheso sick, and to relieve him from further transacting the business of his office, at least until such time as his health was fully restored, would be no more than fulfilling a plain Christian mission. Wo trust Congress will view Mullotl's case in tills light, and institute prompt measures for his relief. Poor man, sohigh is his sense of moral obligation,that,unless something of this kind is done, he will go right on wearing his life out, making and devising plans for public buildings much more gorgeous than the country expects or wants. The country has no right to stand idly by and see one of its servants ruin his health by devising plana of buildings so much more magnificent thau are 1*

Tiuconncs Sun on Grammar. Daviess county has a teacher in one of tho publio schools that is decidedly old lbgyisb. He mado a bond lire of Webb's dissected .cards and letters, contending that they woro worse than useless. Ho also teaches that the nominative, or subject of a transitive verb, usod lu tho passive voice, is In the objective case. He probably refuses to attend Teaher's InsUtutos.or he would know bettor. Send him over to Knox county for instruction

Vincennes Sun, We don't know this teacher, or the author of the above paragraph, but we prefer an old fogy teacher, who knows somewhat of grammar, to a bilious idiot, who knows nothing. It Is true that the subject of a traosittvo verb, when the verb is used in the passive "voice, becomes objective after some preposition. For instance, John struck-William. John is the subject nomiuative of the transitive verb struck, and if this verb be used in the passive voice, John immediately becomes objective, and'the-sentence is, William was struck by John. Mr. dyspeptic critic, don't expose your gross ignorance in caustic remarks about an unoffending pedagogue better far go over to Daviess couuty and join the infant clasaofthis old fogy, as you term him.

TIIKRB IS no use disputing the point, evil communications do corrupt good mauners. Polygamy Is bearing its legitimate fruit. The jovial gentry of Utah, accustomed to many wives, have determined to carry their views of a numerous pos-sess-on of good things over from the hitherto exclusive field of matrimony into the sphere of politics. Hence, the country is treated to the spectacle of the Governor of that Tenitory pointing out the fact that certain persons are holding from two to five offices a piece and asking for such a change in the laws as shall make a man capable of holding but one office at a time. We fear much that the Governor of Utah has not heard of Babcock and the other friends of our President who,if offices were wives, could be convicted of trigamy ana still higher offenses against the monogamio rule.

As SOON as Senator Morton heard from Piuchback's own lips that ho had been guilty of irregularities in his methods of procuring bis election he said to have, "goue back" on that gentleman. To the Hoosler Senator there was something frightful in the thought of a citizen of the Republic and a member of the Republican party being guilty of corrupting the morals of the people, and tampering with the electioh returns and—theu owning up to it. It was a dastardly outrage, to be frowned down and tranipled under foot.

SCIENTIFIC circles TO England have been considerably excited of late over a very remarkable article in the Quarterly Journal of Sjjjclence, from the pen of the editor,~*Mr. Wm. Crookes. He is a chemist of high repute, and bears an enviable name as a scientist. The article in question gives the result of his investigations and manifestations produced under the alleged mediumship of the celebrated Home,' .and- also Mrs. Kate Fox. He details at length the various phenomena he witnessed, and announces it aa his deliberate opinion that they could not have been produced by the physical agency of the mediums or any other natural force or means known to him. This paper is relied upon by

Spiritualists as substantiating the doctrines of their faith, that spirits do return to earth and perform these various feats. The high repute of Mr. Crookes as a scientist, and bis known honesty as a man, neither of which are questioned, unite to' make his evidence on this point it is alleged, of the strongest character. On. what principle however one's abiiity to detect fraud increases with his eminence as a scientific man we fail to see. There Is nothing in the course of study of a scientific man which should especially qualify him to detect tricks. We should certainly much sooner expect a very uiiscietitiflc "man who had been practicing tricks of legerdemain to discover the manner of performing therii. In this connection we refer the reader to an article from the pen of M. D. Conwny*, the London correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, wherein several things are suid of celebrated

London mediums, which goes to show, Mr. Crookes to the contrary notwithstanding,that manifestations there are produced in the same way they are here.

MAJOK GENERAH POPE was before theHouRe Military Committee yesterday and opposed any reduction of the army. When the House Military Committee is through with its examination of all the army officers, whose opinions on this matter may very fairly be believed to be prejudiced, it would be well for the committee to iuterview tho taxpayers of the country. One thing, at least, the committee might recommend at once, and that is, the retirement of a large number of wmy officers,- even if it shall be deemed Inexpedient to reduce the nymber of common soldiers. Once upon a time, when John A. Logan was a Congressman, and not in especially good odor .with the Administration, he ventilated the American'army, and proved-it to be the most extensively and numerously officered organization known among nations, and to be altogether the costliest for its effective fighting force. If Gfeneral John could only be persuaded now to lift up his voice for a reduction of tho army, he might do much more towards solving the financial problem than we fear he will ever be able to accomplish by the stump speeches he ie making for cn inflation of the currency. Flatulent expenditures, not inflated money, is the panacea for our country's aches and pains.

THE prosecution of the Tichborne claimant for perjury, it is estimated has cost the British Governmentalready in the neighborhood of $2,500,000, and the end is not yet. This is exclusively for the perjury trial now in progress. To this, in obtaining an estimate of the grand total of cost tliia perjured villain, or else very much abused geuticnian, has been to the [nation since he first set up his claim to the Tichborne titles and estate?, must be added one, or perhaj two, hundred thousand dollars for the first trial. 4-itto sum of nearly $3,000,000 which it has cost the British nation, to find the grand total, there must be counted in a vast sum of money expended by the infant Tichborne, defendant, w-hich ha# covered his estates with mortgages, besides an unknown amount raised by the claimant himself on the sale of bonds and notes, all spent in the more than idle prosecution of his caSe. It would have been cheaper for the British lion to have adopted the claimant in the beginning as one of her cubs, and pensioned him on $10,000 a year. The mills of the law grind flow, but they grind to an exceeding fineness, everything aud everybody connected with them.

THE Iowa Legislature, in session at Des Moines, has had a hard time electing a presiding officer. The Granger movement and the death of the Democratic party, had mixed thiugs considerably, and party lines being all down, great opportunity was afforded for individual choice. So ballot after ballot was taken, and day after day passed, without their being apparently any nearer a selection thau at first. While this political drama was being enacted ia the State House the play of Rip Van Winkle was running at the theater. To this latter place, after a week of fruitless balloting, mutiy of the Legislators repaired. Judge of their astonishment, when the Rip Van Winkle of the'play, iu the third act,when tie returns to the village of Falling Waters after his twenty years sleep, Inquires of the first person he meets whether thelovya Legislature has yet chosen a Speaker. Had the jocular I^ip been playing at our Opera House it'would be easy to imagine him asking if the sewer had been built.

THE most admired, also envied, woman in Washington this winter, i» the wife of Attorney General Williams. It was through her sharp scheming that her husband was nominated for the wearing of the ermine of Chase. It was the fault, or glory of the newspapers that the nominee was not con firmed. A scrap from her history, descriptive of au episode iu her matrimonial life, may not be uninteresting to our readers. She married a man who was cruel to her. Shortly after the first and only fruit of their marriage, a separation was agreed upon, and the wife left thefamtly hearthstone and the stonyhearted husband. He refused to give up the child, a son. The agonized mother then saw her son no more until he had almost reached manhood's estate. Hearing of him, she sent a photograph of herself. Meanwhile she married Mr. Williams, and had become the belle of Washington, so to speak—e very superior society woman. Since the receipt of the photograph, the son had searched for his mother in Europe, aud in all the cities of this Continent, but the National Capital. Then he bethought him to inquire for her there. He did, ather hotel,the clerk recognizing the lady by the photo graph. The son secured a room next to her, and one day presented himself at the door, and was greeted by his mother. He spake her name, and sprung into her extended arm.', al most precipitating that lady into hysterics. Soon, however, all was explained, the son was introduced to his step-father, aud by hljn snet to school. Lately came the report that the iuternal revenue office in Washington was rebbed of a large amount of warrants in negotiable lorm. Subsequent developments show that this same son oi the leading lady of our country's

Capital, described above, was one of the robbers. His arrest has been effected In New York, on his way with an accomplice—a clerk in the department—to San Francisco. This may all appear romantic, but it is lamentably real.

IF there is any kind of war that the country can stand with perfect equanimity, it is the railroad warfare now going ou. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is carrying through freights to Boston as low as 80 cents per huudred, and passengers for a mere song. Now is the time for ^ie grangers to exult and take their little rides. A granger of 150 pounds might box himself up and go to Boston from Illinois, for 45 cents. All freight carried at such rates, entails a loss upon the company, and If 100,000 good Sucker farmers, engaged In this little pastime and rode backward and forward, they would soon bankrupt the railroad.

Spirltaal Humbug:-, ry Abroad. M. D. C41n tho Cincinnati.Commercial Lord Arthur Iiussell has lately been administering some^ severs punctures of Spiritualism. Since the great trial in which i|r. Home was deprived of the larg& sum of ttiouey which the spirit of an old lady's husband persuaded her through Home to confide to paid Home's keeping and use, that indivdual has not been a prominent figure in Loildoa. When engagements are made lor him, or invitations to preside at seances Sjpnthim, he lias such a tendency to be ill that one must fear thei spirUa arc- not seeing after hia heulib. The eml nent mediums left before the London public just now are" Mrs. Guppy and

IKS Florence Cooke. Of a sceaiice at Mrs. Guppy'sl lately wrote you au account. As Mi.-« .Florence, is said to eiijoy an American reputation, it may be interesting if I state the result of two of the most recent seances at h,-r house. Mi-s Florence's special performance is to be bound securely in a cabinet to which there is a window. Immediately after the cabinet door is closed a ghost appears at the window, and talks with easy omniscience about the unl verse. The ghost—in the very dim twilight—bears a strong reaehinlauce to Miss Florence for this the Spiritualist accouut by saying that similar souls have fiimllar physiognomies, and it is only spirits related to Miss Cooke that attend her. Now, on a eceut occasion, Lord aud Lady Ar thur Russell were present and witnessed this performance. When? alter if, the lights wore raised, the eopened cabinet door revealed Miss Cooke iu trance and with the Cords still around her—seals uubrokeu. Ih wandering around the cabinet with expressions of astonishment, Lady Arthur Russell suddenly darted forward and picked up the cast-oft'cord. Tracing this from point to point, she came upon a point where it-had been severed and theu sewtd together hastilyjwith one or .two stitches This discovery caused great confusion in the family. The father of Miss Cooke became angry, and asked if they meant to suspect -his daughter, 4c. The brother of Miss Cooke became enraged, and nsked if they meuut to suspect his sister, Ac. The mother and daughter grew hysterical Finally, as the RusseJls remained quiet, one of the family demanded the cord but this Lady R. declined to give up, and despite many efforts which have been niade to get from her this cord, she still retains it as a souvenir of her last sceance.

The other sceance of Miss Florence Cooke's occurred about two weeks a«o. The party was distinguished. It comprised the Eml and Countess Caithness, the Count de Medina Pomar, and nine other persons Among these persons was a Mr. Volkman, a men of considerable ability, who lias wrstten au anthro pological work, and who (it isimporportant to «ay) is a friend of Guppys and has been hitherto a Spiritualist. Volckman has been indeed one of the trophies of Spirituaiism. He is a German in appearance as well as name, and lias evidently an inquiring mind. When Miss Florence is surrounded by "especially fa vorable conditions"—that is, when all present aro supposed by her to lie believers—the ghost attending her does not merely appear at tho win" dow of the cabinet* but even walks a little way out at the door, enveloped* in a shroud. Ou the preseut occasion the unsuspecting ghost (called Katie-) did this, when this Mr.Volckman darted forward^ and ^grasped jt (the gh_osO the ghostly melted away into air from his grasp? Ou the contrary, paradoxical as lb may seem, thefe ensued a fierce struggle, and the ghost was only extricated from Volckmau's arms by the assistance of two men present. Nay—and this is important as showing that spirits carry their finger-nails with them into theetherial realm—the ghost scratched Volckman's nose. When the ghost had got back into the cabinet, there proceeded therefrom a speech. When the speaking had gone on for about the time required to arrange a cord, there came shrieks. Then the mother began to faint, and the children to cry, yet so self-restraining was all this emotion that only after Miss Cooke had been shrieking near five minute w?ts the cabinet opened, wiien she was found with the cords all on. The suffering medium was carried to her bed-room, the rash Volckman was put out of the house—wiser, though somewhat more bruised, man than when he entered it. Volckman probably never encountered so spirited a spirit before, and will probably not "break the conditions" again until he is satisfied that the ghost will do Its spiriting gently.

"OBDER IS COURT 1"

A Colli'lm Between Dick Bright and Jud|o Claypool, Teste.rduy.

J&^Cot Wklnnlng KxtraortUnary. ,, (Li

From tbe Ind. Journal, •a excite:n®nt -la legal circles, ca by personal rencontre between Messrs. Porter and Tipton, was grwtly augmented yesterday by the sCKr:!ing news that & similar but nuTe divided collision had taken in the Superior Court room, June Perkius presiding. From -the various accounts related, it appears that Judge s.-iortjon Claypool, a gentleman I-' 4 known and characterized for digniiieJ bearing, was examining Mr. Richard J. Bright, well known as the former proprietor of the Sentinel, in the ease in which he appears as defendant, and A. H. Conner as plaintiff. Bright had been allowed to make a narrative statement of hft case, in which he took occasion to remark that there was absolutely uo.grouud for the complaint made against him that the various "cat skinning" actions in the criminal and oivil courts on matters conuected with the State priutiug had never amounted to anything that they had never cost anything, or words to that effect, and that this ode would share alike fate. At tbe conclusion of his remarks, Judge Claypool asked him if he meant to say that he had never paid the State a e««it in any of the suits mentioned? To this interrogatory, Mr. Bright's counsel objected but Judge Claypool

Incited that he asked it merely to show (a9 he could easily do) that these-tuifs had not euded in smoke. To this Mr. Bright responded by getting up and stating iu most emphatic toruis, that Mr. CI«yi)0°l

WU8

"liar" prefacing the epithet with a forcible expletive. Judge Claypool immediately replied that the man who culled him a liar was "a felon." Mr. Bright thereupon sprang from his seat near Judge Perkins, aud rushed down the steps, Judge Claypool at tho same time throwing dowu some papers he had been holding in nis hand, and advancing from an opposite direction, with fist clinched. Both men are splendid specimens of muscular development, and all looked on with breathless anxiety, awaiting the result. But just before they,came to gethor, Mr. Will. A. Ketchum, Judge Clay pool's partner, assuming the role of peacemaker, rushed between the men, and facing Mr. Bright, cast his arms about him and pushed him "back toward the wall. The latter, laboring under the impression that Ketchum was a reinforcement from the euemy, tore himself loose, also tearing Mr. K.'s coat.

Bright had aimed a powerful blow at Claypool, which would have been very damaging, save for Ketchum's Inteiference, and the latter caught the effect of it pretty sharply.

In the meantime the presiding Judge had mounted his chair, aud called loudly for a Sheriff. A dozen men held Judge Claypool fromnengagitijf in the fray, 'and everything was in confusion. Despairing of reducing thiugs to a state of quietude again, Juuge Perkins peremptorily adjourned the court, and seizing bis nat, coat and cane, disappeared through tlie doo -, remarking that he would In vestigat-a the disgraceful affair at 9. o'clock this morning. After his departure the combatants dispersed without further altercation. The affair created tho most, intense excitement about tlie Court House for several hours, ai both gentlemen are well known in tho community.

The Rev. Father P'itzpatrick, of this city, was the next speaker. He was not a temperance man, he said, but he claimed that, he was a temperate man. He denied some of the positions taken by previous speakers. He controverted the statement that Irishmen were more Intemperate than other nationalities. He was heart and soul with ^he temperance movement, but it was a necessity that bigotry and Puritanism be kept dowc. This thicg of State legislation to suppress intemperance was a grand humbug and a fizzle. In the speaker's opinion, the only way to make temperance succeed was for the chureh to foster it and give it her

aid and sympathy i'lie speaker stated that he "liked Efforts of the Ladles to Close the his dram, and would take it when he loons at Shelbjvlllc.

felt like it." Nevertheless his sympathies were with the movement. Furthermore he hoped, at the next annual convention, to represent a temperance uuion at their gathering. It is needless to say that tbe reverend speaker's opinions were not received with any great enthusiasm by the deiegates and leaders in the movement.

A OOUNTKY fellow entered one of the New York banks, and walking up to the counter, exclaimed: "Here I am I want you to take a fair look at me.". Without a word further he strode out.

Special Telegram to the Ind. Journals HHELBYVILLB, IKI., Jan. 21.—The ladies of this city began the moral suasion temperance movement this morning by visItiDg HI the saloons, liquor and drugstores. Prayers were offered for the saloon keepers, and they were entreated to give up their* business. They were rudely repulsed by two liquor sellers, but by the gthers they were received with courtesy.

The movement crcates no little excitement, and Is the subject of conversation in all circles. Many are disposed to deride them, but It is the general opinion that if the lad Irs only have sufficient moral courage to continue their work, they must inevitably succeed.

THE suffering lad who Infests the neighborhood of the up-town hotels, bare-footed, these cold nights, appealing forjeharity, deserves encouragement. He takes two great risks, first of catching cold by going barefooted, and second of losing his shoes and stockings, which he leaves in a neighboring doorway ^bil&JSjg plies bis vocation.
