Thursday, Jane 4, 1874.

SOLICITOR BANFIELD, of the Treasury Department, baa resigned.

TH»people's party met in convention at LaFayette, on Saturday, and nominated a full county ticket, and made a platform. Thus the good work goes on.

THE GAZETTE proposes that His Honor the Mayor appoint a day, say the 1st of July, for fasting and prayer. Something extraordinary will have to be done to relieve the pressure incident to this sewer busi ncss.

OUT of ninety-seven candidates for admission to West Point, sixty were rejected by the Board of Examiners the other day. Every young man Of color who presented himself was rejected, and yet Sumner's civil rights bill is ail but a law.

FROM three weeks of prayerful perusal of the Indianapolis News we are le'l to believe that the News lias heard a rumor that there was some Irregularity about the city advertising, last year. The News ought to come out and speak plainly, and not keep intimating and hinting about these things semi-oooasloually.

THE election in far-off Oregon, would seem to show that even there the temperance question Is agitating politics to its profoundest depths. Without a majority of the voters, the temperance party in that far-off Btato happens very conveniently to compose a compact body of men, who hold the balance of power. They made themselves felt in the election, Tuesday.

OUK glorious array has been reduced. This time about Ave thousand have been discharged, leaving just fifteen thousand soldiers. As might have beeu expected, tlio reduction was all in the line. Hardly an officer has touched, so that now we have oftloera enough to command 75,000 troops, and only an army of 15,000 under them. Retrenchment ought to have begun at the other end.

"HER IMPERIAL AND ROYAL HIGHNESS," is henceforth to be her title, instead of tlio Duchess of Edinburg, and she Is to sit next to and first below Wales' wife, and to have a chance at the good things on Mrs. Guelph's table before all the other girls and boys. Tbiu Is what the Czar went to England about and he set up things, did the Czar, even as a ward politician setteth up a primary.

RRISTOW'S nomination to the Secretaryship of the Treasury was unanimously confirmed in the

Senate, yes

terday. By a bare majority, Richardson succeeded in being confirmed a Judge in the Court of Claims. We have already expressed our opinion of Richardson and his qualifications for office, and have uow nothing to add. This putting of him into the Court of Claims because ho was unfit to be Secretary of the Treasury, is an outrage upou public decency, and should not be permitted to go unpunished.

THE Kansas City Times propounds this question: "How many negroes iu the United States run barber shops in which no negro could get shaved for $100?" Answering for Terre Haute, and having reference to the panic, the GAZETTE hastens to say "nary one." Terre Haute barbers would shave a Hottentot for $50, and down in LamaBConlstonvilie, where the barbere spend their spare time of winters, working iu slaughter houses soraping hogs at $2 per day, they will shave an Afrioan for 10 cents, or cut tils throat for a quarter of a dollar.

IN another columu will be found a letter addressed by President McKeen and attorneys Thompson abd Baird, to the Indianapolis Sentiuel, giving au acoount of the true stale of aflatrs in relation to the discharge of the jury, by Judge Hester, in the suit of the State of Indiana vs. the T. H. & I. Railroad. The facts, as alleged iu it, entirely clear the road from all taint of suspicion io relation to the discharge of the jury, and show that the road throughout the case lias been mainly auxious to have a fair and impartial trial, neither giving nor asking favors. ——mm

THE General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, iu session yesterday at St. Louis, by a large majority passed a resolution leaving the question of whether or not women oan participate as leaders in prayer meetings or preach, to the discretion of the pastors of the several churches. This meets the case of Miss Smiley and Dr. Cuyler, of Brooklyn, and is another sigu that the tide of old time bigotry is receding. We shall .now see the Chicago Patton stranded high and dry upon the bleak shores of his own inhospitable religion, the solitary representative of au abandoned fiiith.

To EXEMPT farms from taxation, just as national bonds have been ex* empted, is the latest device for making times easy. We now propose that all printing offices be exempted from taxation, and, since we are not at all selfish,, we would consent that everything else be exempted likewise. In the meanwhile, however, it is the bounden duty of Government to make illimitable amounts of money to loan it to any one who wants it, at rates cheaper than he can get it elsewhere to borrow all the money that anybody has to loan to provide work' for all people oot of employment to carry the mails for nothing to operate the telegraph gratis keep postal savings banks for fun dig canals and build railroads, operating both as charitable enterprises, and pay all officers and employes magnificent salaries. Evidently, there are persons in this glorious country of ours who believe that our dear Uncle Samuel has fallen heir to Alladin's lamp. For our part, we can devoutly wish he had, and could work all these wonders but we are skeptical.

THE United States Senate is not likely to concur In the proposition of the House to prohibit officers from making dwelling houses out of public buildings. This is unexpected tenderness towards official bummers. The question came up in regard to one Walts, the bead of the Agricul tural Bureau, who, in addition to appointing two of his sons to the most lucrative offices under him—this is nepotism, but Graut set the example and the people have vindicated him —has occupied, with himself and family, one of the public buildings for a residence. Nothing would have been thought of this had not the elder Watts, whose honesty, by-the-way, is vouched for by Simon Cameron, tried to get an appropriation from Congress for $10,000 to build a seed house. Then some member suggested that if the Watts family would rent a house to live in, as they ought to, and vacate the agricultural buildings, there would be plenty of room. That had never occurred to Watts, and now that his attention has been called to the fact, he don't relish the Idea. Watts is a lineal descendant of the inventor of the steam engine.

AT last it has come. Richardson has resigned. The Treasury Department and the cane-bottomed, revolving, tilting chair that knew our Richardson shall know him no more forever. He is gone, alas like the flowers, and other green things that wither before the blasts of winter. The manner of his removal was as follows, and shows how kiud and considerate the President was towards one whom he had loved, not wisely, but too well. He sent to the Senate, yesterday, tlio name of William A. Richardson to be Judge of the Court of Claims, and that of Benjamin II. Bristow to be Secretary of the Treasury. Both nominations wero referred by the Senate to the Judiciary and Finance committees respectively. Bristow is from Kentucky, and appears to have au unblemished reputation. Those who know him best commend ins integrity and ability. What liis peculiar fitness for the portfolio of the Treasury Department may be, we do not know. What his financial views are, no one seems to know. He may be an inflationist, or he may be a contraction tat, for all that is known of him by the general public. However, his opinions on finance are, of course, a matter of minor importance to tlio Pre dent, who probably made the selection on personal grouuds. Be that as it may, though, Grant has hit upon a friend this time who has not as yet been openly charged with dishonesty and incompetency, and there is a possibility that Bristow may fill the full measure of a Secretary of the Treasury. It is certainly to be hoped he will, for, as the country now is, wo need the biggest brained man in the country at the head of the Treasury Department, and incompetency or dishonesty there can inflict injury upon us almost irreparable. We trust the Finance Committee will give the credentials of Bristow a careful scrutiny.

Now, as to Richardson, there ia but one thing the Judiciary Committee oan do with his nomination for the Judgeship in the Court of Claims. They must reject him, and the Senate must reject him. He has shown himself a fool and a rascal— there is no need of mincing terms— every place he has ever yet been, and we are opposed to the Senate's consldericg him fit to be a Judge iu an important court, because he has beeu proven uufit to hold any other place. President Grant may feel for his unfortunate friend, but President Grant's feelings are of small moment to an outraged nation. Graut may feel—which is undoubtedly the case— that he is equuliy culpable with Riohardsou, for the five dollar specie resumption fiasco he may feel that since he was a sharer with Richardsou iu the spoils of the Sanborn contracts, that Richardson was no more wrong than he was he may feel that for Richardson to neglect his duty, and sign important papers as routine duty without knowing anything about their contents, is no graver offense than he is guilty of daily, and feeliug this, he may think Richardsou emiuently fitted to fill any office under a government of which he ia the head of the reigning administration. We hope that the Senate will make short work of their pretensions. It cannot reach His Excellency except through motion made by the majority of the House, but it can reach Richardson, and it must. Richardson has no qualifications for the place to which he is nominated, aud the fact that he is Grant's friend and has been mixed up with him in a variety of frauds aud follies, is not, and should not be considered a sufficient recommendation for his appointment to a responsible'political position. i,-

THE call which we published yesterday for a farmers' convention to meet atDowling's Hall on Saturday next, at 2 o'clock P. M., should be largely responded to by the citizens of Vigo county. It is not inteuded only to include the farmers, but is expected to embrace the industrial classes generally. All who participated in the labor reform movement in this city this spring, should consider themselves by virtue of their nonpartisan action then as entitled to take part in the deliberations of thi9 convention. It is an experiment, an attempt to cleanse and purify politics, and will be successful, according as the good and honest citizeus of the county, from whatever walk of life take hold of, and assist it. Let these be a large gathering. Every township should be represented, and every ward of the city, that each may leel wheu the convention's work is done that they have had a share in the glorious work.

he will retire—when forced to do so to give place to Bristow. The Court of Claims will then be afflicted with his presence, as Associate Judge, if the Senate says so.

A PERU preacher accompanied the Indiana editorial party to the East. At New York be borrowed $15, to take him home, and in two hours had an eight dollar dog tied to bis leg, to keep him from following bis late master!

AN Elkhart man, who, instead of appealing to the persuasive trunk strap, offered bis son $500, years ago, if he would abstain from the use of tobacco until of age, last week drew a check for tke amount in favor of the young man, who is now at liberty and has the means to dissipate, and disgust decont people by the nse of the noxious weed.

THRBK is talk that the national son-in-law, Sartoris,will be titled, by Queen Victoria, ont of regard for his bride, and that her papa will be tendered the freedom of the city of London at the close of bis term as President of this Republic. Wo would beseech the fair Queen of all the Britains, not to give Grant the freodom of the city. He would bo embarrassed. But she should do something for Sartoris.

AT last the title of the daughter of the Czar—beg pardon, the Emperor of all the Russias—has been fixed. Here it is: "Her Imperial and Royal Highness." The Old Bear called on Queen Victoria, and exacted this title, at the point of hugging, possibly! Her Imperial and Royal Highness will henceforth take precedence immediately after the Princess of Wales—a secondary precedence, so to speak. This title is truly soothing to royal nerves. The compromise will relieve the Thunderer (the Times) from the disagreeable duty of official lying.

THE Barnes will ease still agitates the so-called Spiritualists of Indiana* They denounce their counsel, charging thorn with having sold out to the opposition. Mrs. Stewart lately communed with the spirit of the late lamented Mr. Barnes, and learned that law and money will secure the probate of the will and the $700,000 at issue, but that it would tako hard work. A communication to this purport was read and endorsed Wy Mr. Hallock, who knew it to be a message from Mr. Barnes. Now wo can seesomothing of the value of Spiritualism. It is the way to raise the wind. This is of especial value to some Spiritualists. "THE Emperor of all the Russias," if you please. Mr. Alexander has notified the English and American press representatives at London, that the title "Czar" when spoken grates harshly upon the imperial ear, and pains the imperial eye when seon in print. His Royal Tallness would fain command the press of all the world as he does the pross of all the Russias. Though the tbreo most enterprising newspapers In St. Petersburg sent out special correspondents with the imperial party to London, they were forbidden to publish anything until it bad first appeared in tho official journals. American journals would not brook such restraint. They would be cremated first.

ONE of the A. A. S. of Lancaster, Ohio, writes the Cincinnati Commercial, that he has evidence going to show that tho region thereabouts, was, many hundreds of years ago, the home of a mighty nation, advanced in the art of stone cutting and architecture. But what is more,

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Tlio Late Convention at Fort Wayne. To tho Editors of the Evening Gazette The Fourteenth Annual

State Suffrage

Convention, held at Fort Wayne on the 28th and 29th of May, was an unqualified succoss, if largo and attentive audiences and good speakers are considered requisites to success. Tho business or tho meeting was pushed throagh with unaccustomed vigor, being presided over with marked dignity by the President, Dr. Annie B. Campbell, of Rockyllle. The Fort Wayne Gazette says of ber: "She is a lady of extremely pleasant manners, firm and positive in her adherance to the cause she advocate. She has a fair open countenance, Indicative of reposo, perfoot self-command, and tenacity." Among tho notables present ware Mrs. Margaret Campbell, formerly of Boston,- now of Chicago, and Mrs. Hazelett, of Michigan.

Mrs. Campbell addressed the meeting en the evening of the 28th, in a remarkable strong logical speech. She la a small, intellectual looking lady, with an excellent voice, and a peculiar nervous force. She held ber audience for an hour, not so much by elocutional force as by strong logic.

Mrs. Hazeiett, ofMlchlgan, occupied the evening of the 29th, in one of the most elegant speeches it has ever been my good fortune to listen to. She has an excellent voice, and an imposing manner. At times her eloquence thrilled ber audience with unwanted enthusiasm. Altogether, it was an intelectual treat, and we went with un-. willing steps away from the fair speaker's presence.

The resolutions passed, were much the same as we have heard at other convention's, none the worse for that. They had the ring of true metal. "Resolved, That we see in the signs of the timos unmistakable evidence of the advance in public sentiment,promising a speedy recognition of the claims of women to legal and political equality, seemed" to me to be extravagant. That the present disintegration of political parties is favorable to the success of the cause of woman suffrage seems evident but that it promises a "speedy recognition" is doubted by some members of the committee. Yet the majority of the committee thought it did.

Another: "Resolved, That the pres ent demand for woman suffrage is the outgrowth of the Christian religion," and the often repeated assertion of the speaker that the oallot I right, had a strange rin

convention of religions views and the Christian religion, the fall of man, and St. Paul's advice to wives, by the opposite sex. seems to your correspondent as Irrelevant to the subject under discussion, and offensive to many people who believe that woman suffrage is a right under the existing Constitution, and have grave doubts as to the existence of old Father Adam, who, like Mark Twain, would like to find the gjave of (not Adam) but poor old Mother Eve, and drop a tear to ber memory who is the most abused woman of history.

That the ballot is inherent in a Republican Government net from natural right, but from a political com pact, one believes. The natural or Godgiven rights, are well included in the expression of "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happinessbut the ballot and the right to resist is only inherent because of a political by our fathers, and

THE TERRE HAUTE /RAILROAD SUIT.

The Company and Counsel Explain the Situation.

The Agreement with Judge Hester—Two Sides of a Question.

To the Editor of the Ind. Sentinel: SIR—Your issue of yesterday contains the following editorial: 'Attorney-General Denny returned to town yesterday, from active operation in tbepending suit of the State vs. the Terre Haute Indianapolis Railroad Company, in the Owen County Circuit, Judge Hester presiding. Avery extraordinary thing marked the termination of the ease in that circuit. Tho jury had been out some time, considering the points involved, when the presiding Judge, at 4 o'clock in the morning, took upon himself to dismiss the body without making known his intention to the counsel for the State. It seems that at the time they were dismissed the jury stood 11 for the State and 1 for the company. Of course this sly conduct of the Judge will receive proper scrutiny. As the report stands, has a disastrous, bad look for that personage. If the report is authentic as it reached the city last evening, there is need for investigation outside of thecompany's immediate operations. This suit in all its aspects, has been discussed in the Sentinel, and the verdict wasjust what the facts in the controversy would suggest. That one juror should havo dissented is not at all conclusive. As to his doubts, further information might have, convinced him of the law and the facts sufficiently to bring him into harmony with the eleven. There is more to be said on this subject when tho history of the last proceedings have been more fully made known."

AS THE CASE STOOD.

Your information, wo havo reason to believe, was derived, either directly or indirectly, from one of the attorneys prosecuting this suit. We ask you, as a matter of simple justice, to publish the following facts: Judge Hester was called, by agreement of parties, from another circuit to try this case. Both parties fully understood early in the trial that it must eud on Saturday morning at 7 o'clock, the Judge having announced that he must leave at that time, to enable him to reach another court he bad agreed to hold. Tho jury retired Friday evening, to consider of thoir verdict. After remaining out all night, and being unable to agree, the Judge discharged them atJC o'clock Saturday morning, without notifying either party, and neither party was present. Whether the

was a God-given to me. Some

sach assertions might "be expected of the Catholic Church if it was demanding suffrage, but for educated, independent American women, boasting ot the blood of Revolutionary sires, to make such assertions, utterly astonishes me. When they would state that the Declaration of Independence says: All men are created free, with certain Inalienable rights. They always went back to the Bible to prove it was used in the gene ric sense. It seemed rs though they could not distinguish between the Declaration of Independence and the

The greatest charge we have ever heard against woman suffrage, is that women, being emotional ana religious in her nature, if she have the suffrage she will use it at the instance of the Beechers, and we will have "God in the Constitution" and all tho evils attend ent.

So much for the convention. On the whole, it was ably conducted and the energy, the Independence of the women of our own State who were there and participated,is commendable. Prominent among them, is an old lady, with hair beginning to be silvered by the finger of time, Dr. Mary Thomas, of Richmond, who deserves honorable mention, as being one of the first members of the convention, 14years ago.

to do as he did, and there are no facts in the case to justify auy reflection upon the propriety of his conduct. It is due to Judge Hester to say that this communication is without bis knowledge. So far as the conduct of the officers and attorneys of the railroad company is involved in your article, we invite and challenge the Investigation you insinuate should be made. We are ready, at any time or place, or in any manner, to meet any charge your informant may, or can bring, as to the conduct of the company towards Judge Hester, or any other Judge who has presided in the case. And we propose that, if you will publish It in your columns, we will furnish the entire evidence in the case, with the charge of the Court, so that your readers may form their own opinions as to whether this was a trial in which the Judge was under the undue influence or a corporation, or one in which an unscrupulous effort was made by those claiming to represent the State, to wrest a verdict from the jury contrary to the law and facts, by appeals to prejudice against corporations. Upon the judgment of the people, so formod, we are willing to rest. The evidence is short, and we will submit it to the opposing counsel before publication.

POINTS OP GRIEVANCE.

You say that the verdict was what might be expected from the facts. We cannot understand why you call the disagreement of a jury a "verdict," nor how you know what the facts aro. The State had no evidence except what we furnished and there is no conflict in it, and really nothing for a jury to try. II the counsel lor the State are right upon the law of the case, they are entitled to a judgment of forfeiture, upon the agreed facts in' the case, without a trial. If we are right in our view of the law, there are no facts whatever to warrant a forfeiture. Judge Hester agrees with us upon the law, as also did Judge Malott. If he Is wrong, the roper course is to have the Supreme burt to set him right, and not by asking a jury to disregard his opinion of the law. We diBlike to have this case tried by the press, but if it must be so, we desire a bearing and a fair trial. This is not the first time in its history that those representing the State have sought to get rid of a Judge who differed from them as to the law, by other means than a change of venue. It suoceded once. It now remains to be seen whether this attempt, by impugning the motives of the Judge, will also be successful or not.- W. R. MCKEEN,

An Elephant Without a Trnnk. Editorial Excursion Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer.

Mrs. Dyer, of the Indianapolis Sentinel, contributed her full snare to the general misery by losing her trunk. Not that any body cared for tho trunk or what was in it, but she bore her misfortune so heroically, suffered so meekly and quietly, and only bemoaned the loss of ber "two embroidered night gowns" seven separate times to each man and woman in the party, that everybody felt bftd abojit tb© trunk, and would have sooner lost their own. But she persisted so in reminding some one that she had lost her trunk that she got to be a sort of elephant on our bands—an elephant without a trunk, as it were.

After the Wedding Gossip.,. Cor. New York Journal of Commerce. Mr. Sartoris came here with English dress, address and manners. He parts his hair in the middle and spells his name in the middle. He wore, while about bis hotel, a "swal-low-tall" coat aud slippers with bows on and in short his minor ways were so un-American that he was looked upon as a snob. But the young men grew rather fond of him, for, although he is only twenty-three years of age, and acts young, he was found to be made of manly stuff, and even capable of teaching older people gentlemanly traits. Many were amused at a diversion of his at the gymnasium, where, to the surprise, of all, he pummelled the burly tutor of boxing till that personage was satisfied. He also plays, to the further surprise of the young men, a good game of billiards or whist. Mr. Sartoris is a descendant of the Huguenot refugees. His father, a Conservative, and one of the best known members of the Qarltou Club, is a promiuent merchant and does a large East India business. His uncle, Mr. Samuda, M. P., also of the Hu ,uenot refugees, is known as the largest ship builder on the Thames, and an authority in the navy debates in Parliament. •,

To sum it all up, the agreeable announcement may be truthfully made that the bride has a good husband, Mr. Sartoris has a good wife, and the union assumes—at least in Waqhiugtonian eyes—the significancei of a national affair, which cannot fail to m^ipnrfia1^Sw"exrsrteTween Great Britian and the United States.

Mr. and Mrs. Sartoris will probably be residents of Europe for a year or so, and then become permanent residents of this country.

From tbe Cincinnati Enquirer. There is a good story being told on Shanklin that all Southern Indiana ought to know. Shanklin belongs to the Evansville Courier. He is the Josephus Orange Blosson, the Lord Dundreary, the Adonis, tbe elite of the party. He is a fine looking fellow, aud dresses to distraction, and when he gets on his light suit, white plug bat and buff kids, there is no young lady that will hesitate for an instant about falling in love with him. Oh, you ought to see him with his lavender pantaloons on. Henderson calls him pantaloonatic. He has been exceedingly attentive to Mrs. Jordon, the Indiana poetess, the author of "Dog«fennel Blossom no, I mean Rosemary, she who accompanies the party. He also wears an eye-glass in his left eye, his right eye is able to go it alone. Well, as I have remarked, there is a good one on Shanklin. The party got aboard the magnificent steamer Providence, to make the trip up the Sound. Tickets were sold at half rates, staterooms extra. When a person bought a ticket the clerk would ask if be desired a berth. Shanklin marched up grandly, in single file, solid column, to get his. He got it. The clerk said "Are you going to have a berth, sir?" Shanklin turned pale, adjusted his eye-glass and inspected his form, and solembly said: "I hope not, sir! I wouldn't know what to do with a child if__I. had one."

The maiu entry of the Band Creek Coal Company Is now 540 yards in. The plan of the mine was inaugurated by one of the bank bosses, and vastly improved by Mr. J. C. Northall, mining eugineer. I was sorry this gentleman was absent, as his reputation is great in this country, and his description of the work would have been valuable. His^lstory, by the way, is a regular scientific romance. His father was superintendent of all the mines of the Earl of Dudley, and educated his son in tbe mines under his own supervision. For a few months he would be in charge of a certain portion of the work, then for a few months in college, learning the same theoretically. With these advantages he graduated at twenty-one, receiving the golden medal as the best engineer in the college. He settled first in America, in Schuylkill county, Pa., where he completely revolutionized thesystem of ventilatiou iu mines. A full history and description of his system will be found in the report of the Mining Commissioners of Pennsylvania. His executive abilities are of the first order, and his work here has been of great value.

WHAT THE QUEEN DID.

It is not generally known that Queen Victoria, as soon as she heard of the proposed marriage, made inquiries regarding Mr. Sartoris and wrote a letter to the President iu which she confidently indorsed him. This letter probably arose from the sincere personal attachment which the Queen felt towards Mi9s Graut, and the esteem she felt for tiie President of this Republic in his official capacity. It is hinted by those cognizant of the situation that the royal heart will be moved by some special mark of approbation in connection with this marriage. It is believed among Englishmen who know or pretend to know a little about the court, that the Queeu will invite the couple to Windsor Castle and confer some title of nobility on the bridegroom. There is a confident belief that President Grant will visit Europe after his Presidential term and the idea of tendering him the freedom of the city in such event is already favorably talked over in the London clubs.

TflKN MAY IT BE FINALLY SETTLED.

A Very Awkward Question.

At the Council meeting Tuesday ovening, Mr. Hager introduced the following preamble and resolution':

WHEREAS, Certain men holding bv purchase a conditional contract, awarded by the city of Terre Haute, to contract a certain sewer in the northern part of the city, have injured the rights of the city, by commenceing the work at a time not agreed upon by tbe terms of tbe contract, aud thus manifesting an intention to force the city into the adoption of measures for which she is not prepared, it is

Resolved, That the Mayor be and is hereby directed to cpuse the further prosecution of this work to be stopped at once, and to notify Messrs. Sale A Mercer that they will be held responsible for all damago that may be incurrod by their unauthorized proceedings.

Mr. Hager then addressed the Council, assorting that ho desired to bring the matter to a head.

It bas been going on a long time already. Tho contractors are trespassing upon- private property, I understand, and the city will be held liable for any damage they may do. To day there was CDm^laint that they were spoiling a cistorn, excavating on tbe lot of tho hominy mill, aud that they are going through John's lumber yard. We naven't tho right of way for a single foot of ground. Therefore, wo had better stop and ascertain where we are tending before tbe damages begiu to be piled up. Don't rush this thing through. If, however, the Council seea fit to do it, it won't effect me more than them.

Mr. Scbloss suggosts—I think it would be well t* have the City Attorney's advice about it.

Mr.*Williams explains—It is something very hard to give an opinion upon. If these men are not following the line of tbe sewer, as specified in the ordinance, then they are not complying with their contract. I always understood that the plans and specifications corresponded with the route prescribed in the ordinahco. I understood it to be along tbe line of tbe Wabash & Erie Canal, by consent of the Trustees. So far as the damage to

Eeard

rivate property is concerned, I never of it before. If tho contractors are going out of the line of the sewer, the city will not be responsible fpr the damage they do outsido their contract. It is a very awkward qnestion that you will have to deal with in the matter ot the contract, inasmuch as the contractors have seen fit to start before the city was quite ready. The wording of the contract is that tboy shall commence work just as soon as the city provides tbe funds. The city, sa far, nas not provided the funds. The position they occupy is that they have commenced work, and have been a little mora dillgent in the performance of their contract than the contract calls for. Of oourse, as I said before, if they are not going in accordance with the contract, In building it on the line, they are not'complying with it at all, and are going beyond the bounds or tbe contract. The resolution of Mr. Hager presents itself to my mind in two ways: Contractors to pay no attention to it or take it as a recension of the contract. That is, they will keep on at the work or treat it as a recension and come back on tbe city for damages. It hardly seems to me that it would be recension it it be true, as Mr. Hager said, that they are not complying with its terms. The

it on the route they agreed to. Yet that would not be a rescinsion of it. It would require them to build it as the contract calls for. The easiest way, or the easiest ways, out of the difficulty, so far as I have been able to see, is either to rescind the contract, or provide money to pay for it, and see that it is done rlfcht. This is about the only solution of the difficulty I have seen. either uproot the whole thing, or provide funds to proceed with the work. Either one or the other of these courses should be adopted at once. Every day's delay complicates it that much more. They have no engineer to superintend them. If they are building 26 leet per day, as I have seen stated, they are complicating|things very rapidly. I repeat, this matter should be settled on® way or the other speedily, either by. stopping the work or by providing the means to pay for it, and allow the work to proceed, and at the same time see that it ia well done, and done in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Mr. Schloss—I am informed that the contractors are working by the stakes set by the City Enginer, in accordance with tbe plans and specifications as they are in the contract.

Mr. Henderson— 1 would like to ask if there is any authority for the work, by ordinance.

Mr. Williams—I thought so at the time. Mr. Henderson—If there is such an ordinance, I cannot find it. There was an ordinance passed November 4th, authorizing the construction of three sewers, ana the rest has been done by resolutions.

Mr. Williams—I am under the impression that the power to construct the sewer was given by ordinance of the Council. I drew up an ordinance for the construction of three sewers, [describing them.] as to' the right of way, material of which to to be constructed, etc. My understanding was that the sewer was being built in accordance with that ordinance.

Mr. Hager—Did you make three separate ordinances. Mr. Williams—No three discriptions, [naming them.]

Mr. Henderson—Mr. Clift offered a resolution for a 4 foot sewer Mr. Milliean for something less some one else for a 5j, which latter was carried. The work has been done on the resolution and not on the ordinance.

Mr. Scbloss—What was the size of the sewer described in the ordinance Mr. Henderson—I do not remember.

Mr. Smith—5K feet. Mr. Hager—My object iu presenting the present resolution is not to rescind the contract, but that we may ascertain whether we have aright to go where we are going. It is Jvery easy to say we will build a railroad or a canal over certain grounds, but before we can go ahead we must have tbe right to go oyer this ground first. This is the whole question now. Unless we do that we will find ourselves in a peck of trouble before long.

Mr. Hay ward—1 will just say in regard to that, I was up there yesterday. What they bad done there was on tbe canal proper. How soon they will get off there, I do not know.

Mr.

Hager—Colonel

Dowling said be

had a strong notion of getting out an injunction against their proceedings. Mr. Miller—How about the cistern

Mr. Haley—They had not got to the cistern yet they were waiting for the old lady to barrel the water in it. [Laughter.]

Mr. Hager—Does not this ordinance define the limits of tbe canair Mr. Williams—I remember that I spoke of tbat point at the time, that the Commissioners must assess damages and benefits if we got on private property. I then thought that I wrote tbe ordinance carrying the sewer along the Wabash &Erie canal. I recollect once speaking to tbe Engineer, when he said it would make a very swift curve, and might be objectionable on that account. Col. Dowling stated explicitly that it should not touch tbe tow path, but must go in tbe bed of tbe

Mr. Hager—[To Mr. 8tront] What do you know about it, Mr. Engineer.

£.

Mr. Stront—The survey was made last summer, some time, and we ran along the canal ground, up to the eld basin, and up to the ground once used as a dry dock, and made on to the ca nal, near Fourth street. It was not contemplated to strike the canal until we bad got by Hudnut's mill, and work into tbe old basin 150 or 200 feet. We had once made a survey, making in at LaFayette street, and coming in at Fourth, but we fonnd that this would make a shorter curve and disturb one building. I drove my stakes according to the plans and specifications of the last advertisement.

Mr. Hager—Through private property. Mr. Stront—It was several hundred feet through Mr. John's lumber yard

Mr. Hager—Any provisions made. Mr. Stront—I think not. I was auxious tbat the right of way should be secured. Mr. Rose thought it was proper, even through his ground, though he would give it, anyway. The committee did not seem to think there would be a8y objection to it, and it passed without tbe right of way being secured. I understand, however, that tbe Trustees granted tbe right or way in the canal bed.

Mr. Hager—There is uotbing but a verbal promise from Col. Dowling. Mr. Hayward—There is a written letter.

Mr. Hager—That don't amount to anything. Mr. Williams—We can make it amount to something.

The clerk here read from the minutes of the meeting pertaining to the description of the sewers, and tli9n Mr. Williams said

That does not change the discriptiou in the ordinance. Mr. Hager—I understood that tbe way tbe stakes are set we are going through private property without first having secured the right of way. We had better go slow. I hope the Council will see the importance of this.

The question being called on Mr. Hager's resolution, Mr. ScblOBS inovod that tbe matter lay over until next Tuesday evening, and that in the meantime the City Euglneor ascertain whether or not the contractors aro constructing the sower according to tbe terms of tbe ordinance.

Mr. Hager—In tbe meantime they will build 150 or200 feet more of sewer. Tbls is uot to stop tbe work if tbe Council sees fit to prosecute it. It is merely to ascertain where we are working. We don't know where another 150 or 200 feet will lead.

Mr. Schloss—I do not want the city involved ia anything costing a great amount of money, and never get anything for it.

Mr. Smith—If I could take tho resolution as meaning anything other than the postponement, and final defeat of the enterprise. I could vote for it. It seems to me that we will have to pay damages anyhow. If we go ahead »y have to pay individual damages, and if we stop it we will have to pay damages to the contractors. I am in favor of just going ftboftd

Mr Hager—Then I wash my hands of it. Mr. Smith- The City Engineer repreaents the city, and if he has njaae a mistake the city is responsible. The contractors can sue if we stop* work.

Mr. Hager—Let them sue there is a diflerenco between suing and recover-

fir. Henderson [pending the putting of the question]—1 am as earnestly in favor of building a sewer as tbe gentleman from the Fifth Ward—in a certain way. Yet I believe tbat we bad better stop this work it strikes me BO.

Mr. Smith—I suppose when these contractors came here to bid on tbia work, thoy went by tbe line marked off as tbe route of the sewer, and that they bid thereon. A change might involve thousands of dollars additional cost. To make a change now would cause the greatest confusion ever bad in tbe city. We would unquestionably have to pay heavy damages. Better go ahead and pay private damages.

Mr. Henderson—The gentlemen bad no right to begin when they did, and we certainly havo the right to stop them.

Mr. Hayward—I do not remember juBt how the ordinance reads. I would like to have it brought in and read—so much of it as bas reference to tbe b}4 foot sewer. My impression is that it says in the bed of tbe canal. It strikes me tbat—[ordinance, 3

*a-w tr nxulS

there be, is with tbe Council, and there it should rest. I am in favor of stopping before we go too far, it we are wrong.

Mr. Hager—I don't blame the Council for this. I for one did not know that one foot of orivate property was to be touched, until yesterday. (To Mr. Hayward.) Did you ever hear of such a state of facts

Mr. Hayward—Never. That ,is the reason I want the ordinance produced and read.

Mr. Hager—The fact startled me. [Glancing at Mr. Strout.] Why was not this fact stated to the Council

Mr. Strout—The Committee on Streets directed the route. Mr. Hager—Did tbe Council do it?

Mr. Strout—The Engineer acts under instructions. Mr. Hayward—Is this tbe same routo Miller & Co. hid. on

Mr. Strout—Yes I supposed there was an ordinance. Mr. Hager—There bas been too much looseness in this whole thing. Tbe Committee on Streets and Bridges took the responsibility ot violating that^ ordinance. This Council was nevef informed of it they took it upon tbemth«

selves to instruct tbe Engineer and bere we are. Mr. Haley—The contractors have gone to work without authority. If Mr. Schloss wlfl withdraw bis motion I will move to.refer tbe resolution to a committee to consist of one from eaoh ward, to investigate this whole question, and report to the Council at the special session, Friday evoning, of this week, and that, on that information, and on such information as each member may be able to gather, tbe question then and there to be finally settled, one way or tbe other.

Tne resolution prevailed, and after the appointment of Messrs. Carter, Hayward, Henderson, Haley and Seeburger (Mr. Lamb to take the place of Mr. Seeburger if be were not well enough to attend,) as sucb committee, tbe Council aajourned accordingly.

Washington Special to the Ind. Journal. Senator Morton's strong force of will, so apparent during this session on account of his almost constant presence in the

Senate, taking an ac

tive part upon all great measures, notwithstanding his physical infirmities, is the cause of remark and wonder on tbe part of bis Senatorial colleagues. The old \frar Governor is often good-naturedly alluded to by his brother Senators, because of bis oft repeated remarks in tbe heat of debate, when attempts are made to draw him from his line of argument. "I can not be bothered with trivial questions." Morton's hard fight over tbe currency bill appears not to have disturbed his mental activity a particle, and for one who has to be brought in and out of the Senate in a a chair, he does an amount of work which is simply immense.
