A CRASH OIT TtfE E.fc t. R. R.

A Special nud a Freight Train Collidc.

PRESIDENT COX, OF THE T„ W. & TV., AND CONDUCTOR NELSON, HURT.

Two Engines Wrecked.

Rumors were rife, yesterday afternoon, late, that something awful bad happened on the E. A C. Railroad, near Vincennes, but tho public apprehension was quieted l?y the assurances of officials, that nothing very serious had transpired.

Tho reporter of the Express learned from one of the passengers, who was transferred from tho uo-comlng train, which left here in the afternoon', and turnod around, arriving at 0 o'clock, last night, that the special train from the south, to which was attached the Directors' car, of Jbe T., W. «fe W., wa| coming north, and the local freight vmis going south. Conductor George Nel* son was ia,charge of the special^ and Al. Lyon® was ongineer. By some nqe$ns, it is reported,' they made 'a mistake of one hour in locking at their watches and thought tbe time was 9 33 instead of 10.33, which it actually Was. This mistake led thei| tq pull out of Vincenne4on the local's tiioe. "fbey met near Oaktown, and the two engines collided with a fearful crash, piling one on toy of the other.

Tho engineers had a very narrow escapje, Al. Lyons on tbe special, throwIng'his lever over and then leaping to the ground, receiving a severely sprained ankler*-

Tbe engineer on tho local, was sitting lu his cab, whistling with his head out of tho window, apd did not sefttho danger, until the fireman who wSs standing upon the tender, and consequently could sde a long distance ahead,' sang out, "Look out down there,'' and swung himself off. The engineer hearing the warning cry, attempted to throw over the levor, but tho csrtagtfiptibe was too near at batfd| and he was compelled to jump for his life. Vn another minute a grain car was acctfpying the place where he had been standing, and the two engines lay heaped up together jiinpleto wrecks, their smoke-Btacks ^gono, and domes crushsd. As poop as tb| party codld recovor presence' of m'lnd, they found that the injuries to iall were not so bad as might have becnexjpected. George Nelson's ankle was Sprained and4wisted, und his sbttulddr was battered and bruised, by jumping from the? train. Alt LyonB had a sprained,.anklet W. S. lancoji}, of the T., W. W., a bruised head Governor Cox, ef tho T., W. «fc W., was very badly hurt, having boon bruised abotit tho he^d, as well as receiving a sprained ankle ,*!!!

The two trains werfe to have met and passed at Fort Knox tho special was not there on time, and the freight kept on, running on her own time, supposing the way clear.

Tho track -was- 'cleared away, late last night, two construction trains being at work for nearly thirteen hours and tho train sent out from the south arrived in this city at 2 o'clock, bringing the whole party, and passengers, up. Mr. Nelson, boing unable to move, was taken to his home, on Chestnut street, in a cab, and Governor Cox was taken to tho Torre Ilauto House.,

President Cox was ablo to leavo tho Terre Haute House, 9:20 A. M. to-day, for his home in Ohio. The special ear was attached to tho northern bound train ot the Logansport, Crawfordsvllle & Southwestern Railroad.

A GAZETTE representative called at Mr. Nelson's residence about noon, with a view of getting^ a statement from him as to the accident, its cause, etc., but the gentleman was undor the influence of anfostliotics to avoid anguish of body from a severely sprained anklo aftd badly bruised shoulder sustained in the collision, and could not be seen. We have no doubt but that when he is able to be about, be can expl&in matters in suqh a satisfactory way as that blaino will not attach to him. We r^o^er^rhsk heretofore1 not been marred. Jr

Ways that are Wickcd.

From tbeSulllvan Union.

Wo were at the depot two or three weeks ago and heard about a dozen whistles, blown by as many dirty lookiug men and boys. We learned from a friend that these men were sa-loon-keepers and their churns who had left their filthy ^en?, and ]»$ comb out to hiss a Mr Haywortb, whb was going to Terre Haute on the 2:20 train. The cause of all this hissing, hooting and jeering, was the fact that Mr. Hayworth was a temperance man, and had the true courage to come out and denounce the hellish whisky traffics We looked at their bloated faoos and swollen eyes, and tho*Wght, "O, God, What, hast Thou to do with this motley throng." We were told that a mau Who was prominent in this county, and joined the "Knights of the Goldea Circle" just for an office, stood- back and ^r££d on this dy-|y gab^lfc ..

democratic Congressional Candidate. From the Hooaler State. Col. U. N. Hudsou, editor of tbe -Terre Haute Journal, is highly spoken of by the GAZETTE as the Democratic candidate for Congress in this District. The Colonel is eminently qualified for tbe position, and would make an exbfellent representative, and best of ail he stands square on the currency question. We hope the Democracy will trot him out, not that we tfish tqseo him clected, but if such a thiopgshovHdj happen that the lion. John Cottett should not secure the office we want to see it fall into good bands.

WE understand that tho sewerage contractors claim that in case the market house contractors agree to take tho city bonds in payment for their work, as they (the sewerage contractors) are willing to do, that the City Council cannot go hackoja tbe contract. Jt wUl^ be rerifemhorJd that inHhe origlftal or-t dinance as passed, providing for the improvements contemplated, was a proviso that, if the bonds could not be li'egotiated, .then, in tha* case (the

Tho Quarterly Meeting at .Brazil Thursday Evening. ^1 The Express reports that at the quarterly meeting of Brazil Lodge No. 5, of disorder, held in that city, at Turner Hall last night, a large number of tho brethren from this city,Greencastle afbd Kftightsville wero in attendance. The Terre Haute delegation, numbering thirty-two, was met at tho depot By Brazll Lodge, accompanied by a splendid brJtss band, and e&drtcd to the hall of No. 5, where, after being divested of their regalia, a recess took place until 6 o'clock P. M. The different members then at tbe ball, formed in procession and proceeding east, met |tbe Knigbtsville lodge about a halfImlle iooi the city. They then niarcked through tbe principal streets to Turner

Hall, where the exercises were opened wtyh prayer by Brother Morgan, of Brazil lodge. Mfyor Ackolmire then, in a brief and neat address, welcomed the brethren from the different lodges *iif rfftendance, and tendered them ibe hospitalities of the eity. Hcf then introduced-Mr. G. F. Cookerly, of Terre Haute Lodge No, 1, who addressed tbe large assembly in a speech of one hour and a half in length. He spoke at t£o aims and objects- ,of the order, and pointed out tho great benefits arising to its members, and especially the beneficial fund of two thousand dollars, which the families of deceased brothers received upon their deaths. His addross was received with groat approval, as manifested by tho frequent applause Which grfoted it.

After Brother Cookerly concluded, Brother Morgan delivered an eloquent addrest, as also Brother Link/ of this eity. Art interesting and able esaay was then read by Brother Murbarger, of Knigbtsville Lodge, after which the exercises closed. Tho Brazil band discoursed ruoBt excellent music during the evening.

The members Of l*erre Hauto'LSd|e l^f. 1 returned to this city py the 11 o'clock train.

The order at Brazil is in a very flourishing condition, as it.al$» is in different points of the State. Wherever a lodge has been established it has grown 'powerful, and the organization will growto 1?G one of tha strongest* •. Kl !f« ACCIDENT AT THE NAIL WORKS.

A Probable Loss of Two Thousand Dollars. The Journal of last Saturday says that a bad accident occurred at tho nail works yesterday afternoon, in the factory. The lurge double engine which drives the nail cutting machines hat! jupt^been started for the afternoon work, and had run about lifteon minutes, when suddenly, and without warning, the large and heavy gearing wheels—tho two that connect with each other by means pf cogs—broke all into pieces, breaking both tho bedplates at tho same time, and bending tho connecting piston rods.

It is supposed that tho reason of their breaking is that they were weakened by the fire last fall. The wheels themselves wore not of so much value, but the greatest damage was tho breaking iifi£of the bed-platos, as tho wheels flew in pieces against them.

The accident will probably cause a loss of two thousand dollars, and it will be a week or ten days before it can be remedied. Tho seventy machines were nearly all manned and in working order, and tho men employed on them, are thus thrown out of employment until the damage is repaired. Tho puddling furnaces were to have been 11 red up next Tuesday, but they will probably not be used now for sometime*.

The running parts of tho broken engine, are uninjurod.

's Gite'that Dog a "Button." Tho Express learns that some three weeks ago a largo black Newfoundland dog camo to the residence of Mr. Jacob Miller, South Second street, and took up his abode there. He seemed quiet and Qf good disposition, but late yesterday evening a threo-year old boy eating, and angered hlCffm some way, nrvjliie turned np^n the child, threw him to tho pavement, and commenced tearing' hiai savagely. His screams b'rought fiis mother, Mrs. O'Haro, ©f Vincennes and Mrs. Miller to the rescue. They got the child aw:Vy with difficulty, and were in great danger themselves, as tho infuriated animal turned on them several times. A severe gash, four inches in length, was fotCn4 Jn tlie child'B bead, running up frqmj t^ie right eye, and the blood lay in little pools on the pave men

A MTTIJB Liamb was impalod alive on a hook at the market hoOse, Friday evening. It was an accident, however, aud came.about in this wise: Michael Lamb, Jr., was standing oti a ladder washing :dowa

fJSJWl

thejjk'|ills of tile, stall

and losing his footliold, was'precipitated downward until his course in that direction was arrested by catching a meal hook in his arm^ suspending him in mid air. Finally the book gave fvay and he fell. No injuries of a sarious character Were 'sustained by him in the fall, but his arm was badly lacerated by the hook, aud It will cause him innch inconvenience and pain. He is a brave little man,.and will mind.it. as litfle'as any otfo ralild. A merflber of that Lamb family never bleats when bruised or beaten.

hTlfSST Echo KearriT that IirJ. Wa|laCe, *J»W. (Sartwright and Thos. I^ebiing.kn practical miners from that district, havo leased the mine of the Pimento Coal Company, which is situated on the E. &C. Railroad, about six or eight miles south from Terre Haute. The tract includes 140 acres of land, upon which are two veins of coal, one three and ono half, and the other five feet in thickness. The lease includes everything connected with-the mine— buildings, machinery cars, etc. It is tho intention of tho lessees,we believe, to form an incorporated company under tlie name of Vigo Coal Company.

At the I. & St. 1. Depot.

A large and miscellaneous crowd collected at the Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad depot, last Sunday, about 4 o'clock. After a weary wait the crusaders caaae, and were called to order by Mrs. Eaglesfield, who, after singing by the choir, read from tbe 4th chapter of St. Jobn, and then addressed the Throne of Grace:

PRATER BY MRS. EAGLESFIELD. 6b, Lord, our Heavenly Father, come now unto us in Thy might, that those hero who are not Thy children may be converted to Ihee. Oh, our Father. jOnligbten them bring them from dark ncss unto light, and to a knowledge of eternal life and the true God. Let Thy blessing rest upon all who are here. We thank Thee for Thy goodness. Thou art an unchangeable God the same yesterday to-day and forever. Thou art everywhere and can accomplish all things that Thon will'st. Thou art in all, through all and over all. Oh God, have mercy upon those who are doing that which they know will ruin themselves and others. They know that they are sinning against Thee. May they bo converted, aud be brought to glorify Thy great and good name. Wilt Thou now hear us ana answer our prayer, for Christ's sake Amen.

Another selection was sung, and Mrs. Hodgens offered prayer. rRAYEH BY MRS. HODGENS.

Blessed Father, Thou seest the great crowd of people gathered hero, and Thou knowest what they are here for. Bless each one of them. Bless thoso who are laughing and scoffing, every one of them. We ask Thee to pour Thy spirit down upon them. Draw them with the tender chords o£ Thy love. Thou hast the power to do it. Bless the little boys and girls gathered here this aftornoon. May they hear something here this afternoon that will bind them to Thee. We do ask Thee that Thou bless our labors spread Thy influence over tho length and breadth of this city and the State, and all over this land. Hasten the time when Satan shall be bound when all shall know Thee, from tho lowest to the greatest. We come to Thee this afternoon for wisdom, and for power. Blessed Savior, Thine is the power. May many of those who are here to-day be convicted and converted may something said cling to thorn may Thy spirit never forsake them until they consccrato themselves to Thee. Revive Thy work here in the hearts of Thy believing children may they go out purified and bright, without spot or wrinkle upon their garments. Consecrate them to be pure and without blemish. Give each one Thy Holy Spirit this afternoon who shall attempt to call upon Thoe. Dear Lord help them, for the help must come from Thee. Ours is not the power. Thine is all the power and the glory, now and forever. Oh Lord, Thou bast helped us in times past and gone Thou hast been with us Thou art with us now. Dear Lsrd, Oh Father, we are Thy children. Protect and guide us. Nothing can happen to us unless it be Tby will. If Thou sufforest anything to come unto us, it shall bo for our good. We would again ask Thy blessing upon this people, and we plead with Thee that Thou wilt grant it. Those things we ask in the namo of Christ, our Rodeemer. Amen.

Another song was sung, and then Mrs. McNeal led in prayer: TRAYER BY MRS. MlUEAL.

Heavenly Father, we have once more of Thy strongtEj'oli blessedIPatherVWS are willing to do Tby will. Thou knowest the terrible sin prevailing in this community. Heavenly Father, we do ask Thee to come with Thy Spirit from on high that will enable Thee to look iiito the very secret thoughts of their heait?. Oh, Heavenly Father, we do thank Thee that thou bast put upon record a wish to save all mankind. Oh, Lord,Thou hast died that all might live. May Thy precious blood, shed on Calvary's cross, be poured upon every soul of this assembly. Thou knows't, oh 'Lord, how the sin of intemperance doth prevail in Terre Haute. Not merely one sin many sins. Thou hast said that every one shall bow to Thee. Forbid that they put it off too long—until it shall be too lato. May it be Thy holy will that they bow and come to Thee •while there is yet light. There is a coming darkness when none can see to go forward and upward. Come to this assembly this afternoon. Let Thy holy spirit work upon the hearts of "this peoplo. We can do nothing without Thy assistance. We are mere instruments in Tby bands. We are willing to suffer, to be laughed and scoffed at for Tby sake, remembering that the blessed Jesus was laughed and scoffed at. Oh Father, give us grace and. strength to labor for Thee. Let them scoff and laugh, but save them before the coming of the everlasting burning, where there will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. We have been permitted to see something of the evils of this terrible traffic, and yet we have not seen a foretaste of the terrible sin. Oh Lord, stop this dreadful sin, this terrible traffic. Let Thy power come upon them as upon the Israelites, but let thecbildren pass over. Oh Lord hasten the time wben every bouse will be the house of the spirit, and every heart the indwelling of tho Holy Spirit. Bless the few1of us who are trying to do Thy will. May Thy Holy Spirit find its way into the hearts of those who are fightiug against Thee. Convince them that they must come to Christ before they can inherit eternal life. We have Thy word for it that no drunkard shall ever enter into the Kingdom of God. How many be thwe here who would have their names blotted out of that terrible book that their sinv may lie taken away that they may be saved. May we all be able to stand the storm, and be able to see all tbe saloons in Terre Haute closed up. May they become houses of prayer and may tbe^r keepers and their patrons bo brought to a knowledge of the Lord. »Bless us and take us nearer to Thee that we may successfully prosecute the great work upon which we have entered. Bless us this evening, and at last save us for the sake of tbe Lord a bove, amen.

Then two other ladies, whose names we4vere not able to learn, led in earnest, and wo trust, effective prayer, after which Mrs. Eaglesfield exhorted a few minutes and tbe meeting was closed by the singing of tbe Doxology We give tbe above that tbe readers of the GAZETTE may have some idea of tbe Sunday afternoon open air meetings tbe temperance cause. The women who are engaged in the work are deeply in earnesf. Though they have but little encouragement from the church, they are not discouraged. The crowds that collect about their meetings are not the mostselect, but average good order prevails, and more respect is shown the ladies than might be expected from them. 1 he police should be present and preserve order, dispersing the disorderly when necessary. Tbe ladies have the undoubted right to pray in public, and they should be protected by the strong arm of the law.

At the Cong*eg*tionalist Church a large audience assembled last evening, on the occasion of the temperance union meeting there. After music and prayer, Rev. Howe introduced I

PRESIDENT TUTTLK.

It is with no little embarrassment that I appear before yon to speak upon tbis familiar snbject, it having been frequently discussed in press and pulpit. There is one circumstance in our favor in discussing this somewhat thread-bare subject. That is its importance. Years ago I bad a neighbor wbo was a skillful mechanic, but who had in his boyhood incurred the practice of drinking. I once wished to remonstrate with him. He anticipated* me, and Baid if I had anything new, be would like to have me offer it. He said a man who can make as good articles as I can, and contributes his earnings to tbe liquor seller, is a very great fool. Then said be my wife would not have me for a long timu on aceount of my habits. She was a good wife. When there was no liquor in the house or in me, we are very happy. To abuse her, I must be a very great brute. Thus, he said he felt worse than I could, and would be frank. He said further that be believed in God and tbe Bibie believed in hell, because he had it in him, and kHew it believed that no drnnkard shall enter into the Kingdom of God, yet I have known tbe time wben I would have drank had I known I would go to hell tho next minute. You must think, therefore, that I must be insane says he admits all these things, ir you have anything new, however, I would like to near it. He had been over tbe ground. You and I have been over this ground, and know of the evils ot intemperance. It is just as dreadful to you as it was to

Noab. Let your father or your son come staggering home or what is still worse, Bee your daughter or wife yield to this terribe habit, and the iron will go into your heart as deep as if this were tbe first time man had fallen from his higb estate.

I thought as to two points we bad better see what the Scriptures say. I refer to property and life. So long as there is life there must be property, and both muse be more or less under tbe contiol of tbe eommunity. Society seeks to protect man in his life and property. Man will give all that he he has for his life. We have no right to interfere with the life of others, or others of eurs. It matters not where a man has been born and educated, it is not right to steal. All will admit this—unless it be some one who steals. Suppose I meet Bro. Howe he is a smaller man than I am, and I take his pocket book, which is not a very big one, for he is a pastor, [laughter,] would it be right? All must admit that it would not be. It would be stealing. Suppose I blow Bro. Howe's brains out, would any one justify it? Of course not. Whisky like money, should not take away brains. I cannot take money by force, forgery or in any other way, without render ingan equivalent, and be right. There is no way that I can take life without violating tbe explicit law of God, "Thou shalt not kill." I have said that because of law, no man can have property without influence on other people. Suppose I have a farm, I have no right to, even through negligence, damage the farm of my neighbor. If I do, I am liable to make restitution.

Concerning life, there aro two principles laid down in the Book of the Law: 1. We find in Exodus, that if a man has an ox that has gored a man or a woman to death, but the owner did not now that tho ©x was wont to push with his horns, the ox should be stoned to death and the man should go free. If, however, the fact is known that he is a vicious ox, and ho is not restrained, the ox and the owner shall both bo put to death. 2. The other prinoiple to which I re fer is in Deuteronomy. It shows what an estimate God places upon human life. God says that be that buildeth a new house aud does not build a battlement, and brings blood upon the household, then that man is liable.

Take these two principles. We will consider the indirect manner in which our property is taken. If intemperance would take the money directly I would not complain. I found in the town of Rockaway. that drinking cost the manufacturing interest a loss of time, Monday, Tuesday, the Fourth of July, etc., amounting to enough to run every free scnool in the town ten months of tho year, with jl,500 children in the schools. There was indirect taxation. In 1850 I realized a loss. I said I would till the ground as in boyhood. I took eff 100 two horse loads of stone. I planted in front of my door a maple tree. I had an Irishman and made him dig a large holo, and hnd a maple tree planted to my liking. It grew up luxuriantly. It was the beauty of the neighborhood. One day a big wagon was driven over it, to its ruin. I was angry, and asked them 'why they did it. "Well," say one of them, "we could not see straight." Why Because they stopped at the tavern. So I lost four years, as I planted the tree again. I used to go to the poor house and asked them how they got there. Rum, was the answer. Mcrris county had to bear the expense of my property with the rest. The tavern keepers took the money right out. It was robbery.thouph IVAIU'ILVFIWA DUI AUIWW«J«W IV WV.J is indirect, yet it is robbery none tbe less. Let us look at the life principle. Did I attempt tbe life directly, no one would think tbe act justifiable. If indirectly there is room for a question. Is it murder for a husband to feed his wife poison in small doses Would it not be murder? [Cited a case to prove it.] There is no question about that. But if you will take a dose indirectly or quietly, it may not be suspected. A man of tbe name of Prim, one of my old parishioners, got drunk and died. He was found dead with two bottles by his side, emptied of the whisky tliey contained. Tbis was murder, brought about by a long course of drinking. In a certain town, a young man, & years of age, who from boyhood had been drinking, until prevailed upon to join tbe Templars. But ono day, as he was plowing, the old habit came back, and ho went down. He has gone to his reward. The pastor, at the fuueral, said whisky killed him. A blacksmith once said he hammered away with a vengeance, but could not keep control of himself, and ho started for a saloon. Theso men got rum from men who knew them and their habits. What shall we do? Must our property and life be put in peril Is there no relief? I remember very well the first movement made in tbis coautry, wben the sermons of Dr. Beecher were brought out. They were read by an elder who had a prolific orchard, the fruits of which had been reduced to whisky. He read this, and spilled his apple whisky on tbe ground. This was pure whisky, calculated to pickle people. [Laughter.] Just here I would utter a remonstrance to physicians. Do not speak of tho power of whisky to repair tbe tissues. Let the tissues waste rather than make them worse. Next came tctotalism, then Washingtenianism, Sons of Temperance, next Maine law, next greater thau all that which is now sweeping over all the country. Have you a drunkard in this cburcb? Is there one in either of tho other churches? One thing is right. The church of God is in a measure free from the evil. There are thousands of churches that have tao drunkards in them. Thousands outside of tho church are total abstainers, yet intemperance is as dangerous to-day as it Was thirty years ago, when a man might have been seen going down South street to get liquor to stimulate bim to commit an awful deed.

We have a law—a good law, regard it. It has defects, but they may be remedied. How shall we enforce it? Three applications were recently made in the little city of Crawfordsville. Two petitions were withdrawn, but they were examined enough to know that some of tbe best citizens had tbeir names on them without their knowledge, also drummers and others who could not be found. What is to be done I have been among the crusaders in Ohio. My friends, if my son were in the river, I would not ask whether a man or a woman should save him. Man, it" is true, suffers terrible evils, and pays the bill, yet the great trouble of the evil comes upon the women. Woman stands at the gates of hell, pleading with men, to save them. There is nothing that a woman cannot do to save these whom she loves, thetis not right. We want spirit, public sentiment. Woman must breathe life into us to make us manly. Therefore, friends, I say with all my heart, let woman do her best in this thing. Lot her staud on picket duty, and do anything she can to save the 600,000 going to rain every year 60,000 dying every vear. Oh if a father or a mother could but send ont their sous safely. In the name of society, the chnrch, the fathers, mothers, daughters, in the name of the world, I plead that the dread fal evil may be done away with swept out of the world any way.

After a short prayer and the singing of the doxology, the audience was dismissed with the benediction.

At Centenary.

The house was packed, aait always is when "oar own Dick" is announced

for an addreofc, every available seat ia the body and aisles being filled, and thegallery accommodating not a few.

THE INTRODUCTORY KXKRC1SES consisted of reading a Scriptural selection by Rev. Alexander Sterrett rendering a hymn by the very excellent choir of Centenary an earnest and fervent prayer by Rev. M. Crossly a voluntary by the choir. Rev. N. I* Brakeman then introduced cor.. THOMPSON, who had but just entered. He spoke substantially as follows

While there is not as much

•.-•F-•••'?

CAUSE FOR CONGRATULATION* in the present aspect of the temperance cause as there might be, there is undoubtedly cause for much congratulation. Wben we look back at the history of reform we find they all' bad a beginning. The Christian religion only had its birth when Christ came on earth it did not spread over the world until He returned to His Father. So we find it in reference to popular government. In the early ages of the world there was no such thing as selfgovernment. Bnt when the thought was struck out by some of the courageous men of old, it began to grow, and continued to grow until to-day, even in monarchical governments, the influence of the people is felt, and tbe time will come wben everywhere tbe laws will be the result of the popular will.

MORAL REFORMS

come in the same slow way. Their advocates must possess a greater and higher courage than tbe soldier on the field of carnage, for there is something of the animal in bis courage, while tbe courage of the moral reformer is found only in the human.race. We cannot reconstruct men. We must deal with individuals in this work, as they are. We must approach them with that

CHRISTAN CHARITY.

which ought to distinguish all moral reforms, and then good work may be done. Temperance reform can only be brought about by eradicating some of the strongest passions of men. In the old

PROHIBITORY LAW

the manufacture and traffic in alcoholic beverages was forbidden, thus cutting up the tree by the root. Some of us were not prepared for tbis, and as we did not accomplish what we aimed to, we learned a lesson. We have since then more gradually approached-the stronghold of tbe enemy, and while we have not utterly routed him, we have aroused a sentiment that prevents any men or set of men from bidding defiance to all law. Whenever the question has been separated from politics we have been successful, thank God but wben the politicians took bold of It, we have been defeated. I am glad that there is no longer any

BLINKING THIS QUESTION.

They have forced us to this, and it is now temperance and anti-temperance. On our side there is everything to induce us to work. I do not recall anything grander than that achievement by which a single soul is saved from ruin. How grand, then, is the work that is to save a race! On the other side they can appeal only to the baser motives ot men. We appeal to the best faculties of men. Is this not true? And can any man who has pride in his

INDIVIDUAL MANHOOD

hesitate for a moment on which side to array himself? Again, look at the men onthe either side. Judging by that, alone, on which side would you array yourself. If a civil war was raging, as it did a short timo ago, threatening to engulf the very idea of liberty ana self-government if the people of Europe were to combine in one grand army to destroy tbe institutions made sacrcd by the blood of your fathers, where would you look for your leaders? The anti-temperance men themselves would unwittingly pay us the compliment to look for leaders among the temperance men.

All tbeir arguments are BASE GROVELING and selfish. One tells me that we interfere with bis business. What is business It is dollars and cents. Shall these be weighed against the welfare of the human race?

Another says we interfere with his right. Let me say here that this is THE FOUNDATION OF A GREAT QUESTION. It is a question upon which we are just entering, and which, if not considered with that wisdom which has assisted the American people in all the great crises of the Government, may produce consequences which you neither dosiro nor expect. But it is /FORCED UPON US as growing out of this temperance agitation, and we must meet it. It is simply the assertion of the right of tbe individual to do as he pleases.

FREE TRADE IN EVERYTHING would fully express the idea. This right, in its application to individuals, does exist, but when men come into rfllatipns with others they aive up certain riguta, uuu amuu

A .1..

right to do anything that will injure anyone else. /The right of trade belongs to you and I, but community' the Government—claims and has tbe right to regulate trade aud traffic. Government does not interfere with the trade in grain, becauso this trade produces only good results, but wben it come to whisky, Government has the right to say whether tbe traffic in it is injurious

DOES WHISKY DO ANY GOOD.

I know very little of it by experience. [Laughter.] I havo heard men say that a drink of whisky or brandy did them good tinder certain conditions, but this is as far as I ever heard any man go. I never heard any body say drunkenness was a good thing. Did you? [Laughter.] Ask the drunkard's wife, tbe clerk wbo loses bis position tbrough tbe drunkenness of bis employer, the man in the gutter, everybody who is affected by it, and there will come back

A UNIVERSAL "NO!"

[Sensatiau.] Then is there anything bad in it? Everybody agrees that there is. Saloon keepers, even, admit tbis. A blear-eyed, bloated drunkard could not get a position as a bar-tender. [Laughter.] Then, because it is evil, we claim the right to gulate it- Out of the question of

PROHIBITION,

or the right to restrain or modify this evil, grows the question of individual rigbt. The Constitutional Convention of Ohio has submitted two propositions to the people. One is to give the right to grant license. Tbe other is to give the rigbt to prohibit. On this issue a large parly baB been organized to vote down tbe whole constitution, in order that there may be no law in reference to the matter. Where does tbis claim to tbe right of free trade in everything come from Why, from Europe. It is

NOT OF AMERICAN GROWTH. In trying to get rid of monaicby Spain, France, and the other countries of Europe go to the other extreme. They do not understand tbe conservative principles of liberty which enable a people to establish a free government. They can only understand that unbridled liberty, which gives the right to mnrder, steal, or do anything else. When they come here they fail to remember what kind of a government they have come to. No man makes a better citizen than

THE A-MERICN1ZED GERMAN,

but the man. who tries to Germanize America, does a profitless work for himself and for us. When he comes to understand our principles and yield to them—for yield tbey must—[applause,] and if I might speak imperatively, yield be shall, [continued applause,] he makes as good a citizen as the best.

When our institutions shall be duplicated on all theeartb, and mankind everywhere

SHALL BE FREE,

as we are free, we shall have reached the grand achievement ef our American destiny. [Applause.] Some European ideas I like very well, but as European plants do not vegetate well in America, so I find that most of the ideas which come from abroad are not the best for us, individually or socially.

I know of no nation in the world that has not suffered from intemperance. THE GREATEST HATION 0F EUROPE is, by common consent, Germany. But great aa she is to-day, there was a time when she was greater. German historians themselves tell ns that tbe

Aus­

trian people have descended from their great height through a combination of causes, and one of those causes waa tbe frivolity of ber people. Why did tbe Rhine people permit us to succeed here with free Government, when tbey had tbe same thoughts and ideas and made an effort for such government centuries ago Because, tbeir historian say, tbey have degenerated through their

FRIVOLOUS HABITS.

And what are thaee frivolous habitat

SIT

beer and

Spending their evenings at the garden apending tbeir earnings, losing their manhood, so that tbey are always beneath tbe classes that govern them.

I have much hope—though bnt little faith—inaavingan old drunkard but my faith rests in the present movement for saving the young. When the time shall come that we have a way for our young people to spend their evenings other than in the frivolous amusements of the saloon, we may take more pride in

OUR BEAUTIFUL CITY

than now. We may point out its broad streets, its fine Dlocks, its beauUfa! houses and lovely trees, but better than all this we may point ont a moral people aud thia tune is coming. We are nearer to-day than we were yesterday, nearer yesterday than the day before, and nearer then than before the laat

MUNICIPAL ELECTION

for that election demonstrated that the anti-temperance people can not have everything tbeir own way. Thia is not the work of a day. -Press on, then our victory is sure. I am not a recruit. 1 have been in tbe buaineas 40 years. In all that time I do not know that I have aaved a single drunkard, but I have bad the satisfaction of working for the right, and I am willing to work another 40 years, [applauae.] and if the work is not done then, ana God permits, I will work another 40 years. [Continued spplause and laughter.]

In reviewing tbe work of tbe ladies here, he said that they [the ladies] bad done nothing to arouse any bad passions, and then he went on to apeak ol the proscription of the soloonists, and asserted that they had .injured only themselves, and declared that the temperance people of Terre Haute had the courage to fight it out to tbe last ditcb and then be continued:

If tbey will not be content with the law, if tbey continue to arouse popular sentiment by a vicious opposition, the time will come when it shall be

CUT UP BOOT AND BRANCH, I

and there shall not be one drop of splr ituous liquors made or sold in this fair young State of ours. [Applause.] I do not know whether I ought to include beer in tbis or net. A man was arrested a few days ago for selling splr ituous, liquors and got off by proving that a man could not get

DRUNK ON BEER.

I am no doctor, I don't know the effect of beer scientifically considered, but tbis effect I do know—it makes a fool of a man.

[Laughter.]

Show me

a habitual drinker of beer, and I will show you a bloated, diseased, stupefied fool. Now—

Here tbe Colenel looked at his wateh, and casting a glance of surprise at the audience, said he did not know whether to offer an apology or to expect one. The audience was responsible for tbe long speech by sitting so still, and then continued:

SHALL WE CEASE OUR EFFORTS [Answers of "No, no," from the audience.]

The whole world pays its tribute to to sobriety by refusing em.' ment to the drunken man. Let us add to tbis tribute tbe influence of our works, and tbe timo will come when Terre Haute shall be a sober city. "Once more,

Unto the breach, dear friends!" Let us be up and doing, and the time will soon come when our City Council, the

LITTLE CONGRESS OF TERRE HAUTE, will provide that no man shall violate tbe law with impunity, and when no officer will look on violations with iudifference.

Having begun bis address at 8 o'clock the Colonel sat down at 9:45, amid quite as enthusiastic applause as was seemly in tbe bouse of God on God's day.

Rev. Alex. Sterrett led in prayer, a familiar hymn was sung, Bro. Sterrett pronounced the benediction, and the audienoe dispersed.

Baker's Beautiful Babylon. The Terre Haute Monumental Asso ciation has about completed a contract with tae Baker family for tbe rendition, at an early day, perhaps on the eveoing of decoration day, of the cantata entitled, "The Great Court of Babylon." They will be assisted by sev enty-five or more of the best amateur musicial talent of the city. This cantata is spoken of in high terms by all wbo bave ever beard or witnessed it, as being replete with lofty sentiment, in a setting of fine language and exquisite muflic, while tlie soonoty flccompanying it, is unusually rich and varied The Baker family have a wide reputa tion as organizers of this species of entertainment. The high character of the cantata itself and mo 'i n/immandable object to which the proceeds are to be devoted, should insure its success in advance. Tbis performance will be one of a series of entertainments given at about the same time by tbe Monumental Association for tbe purposes of their organization. It is not asking too much of people to restrain tbeir desire for amusement until such timo as these shall be brought out, that then their pleasure may tbe easier persuade their purses to the helping forward of tbis most laudable design of erecting a monument to the fallen braves in the nation's life struggle. We bespeak for the performance that large patronage which its merit and its purposes both deserve.

The Terre Haute HiBnncrcIior celebrated its eighteenth anniversary in a most fitting manner, Monday. A visiting delegation arrived from Brazil during the afternoon, and were escorted through tbe streets to Turner Hall by a band of music, and there wolcomed by Mayor Thomas, in behalf of the association. In the evening the following programme was given:

PART I.

THE Journal learns that tbe mistake which resulted in tbe smash-up on tbe E. & C. R. R., on tho 7th, waa not made by the watches, but by tbe time table that the conductor of tbe special train Wednesday saw that on the time table tbe time at which the regular freight was to reach Emison's station was at 9:43 o'clock, but in the hurry glanced at the wrong figure—tbe one above tho row corresponding to Emison's station —and took'the figures lOclO instead, thinking that, of coarse, bis train bad ample time in wbicb to reach tbe switch. It was going at the rate ot nearly thirty miles per hour, and just as it shot out of a deep cut, from which no approaching train could be seen, it was right upon tho freight train. The engines did not climb each other, as is generally the case, bnt seemed almost to occupy tbe same space at the same time. Mr. Nelson might bave leaped safely to the ground if it had not been for tbe wire apron around the platform, over which he had to jump.

ERXST HKNDRICH will buy no more cigars of the designing Italians. He got enougn of tbeir stock on hand Monday to last him. They were not what they were represented, and so Ernst, instead of quietly selling them and his customers, "complained," and the Italliana were "polled" and paid back the money. s--, .{ ra -y
