Mrs. Victoria is a widow and Col. Nelson is a Prince of good bellows, besides being a widower. Might not tbe union of these two great nations be cemented by a uniou of their representatives? By all means let him be appointed.

OUR Democratic House of Represeniatives has decided to settle the quest iou of a Ptesident working for his re-election. At a recent meeting the Judiciary Committee, of the House agreed to report lh® following amendmeut to the Constitution:

THK community, we feel sure, will join with the GAZETTE in Jubilation over the final exorcism of that ugly ghost of a rumor concerning tbe illegality of our present Grand Jury. It would have een an unmitigated bore, to have bad to try over agaiq tbe interesting batch of criminals who represent Vigo county in the penetentiary at Jeffersonville, and all too, on a niere matter of technicality In "no way affecting the question ol their guilt or innocence. That thejbugaboo has been disposed of so quickly and so effectually, is to thelcredit of our Criminal -Judge, who spares no pains to keep his court en rapport with tbe decisions of the Snpreme Court. ys*

Democracy In New Hampshire. On Wednesday of last week, the Democracy of New Hampshire met in (convention to nominate a State ticket. In addition to the nominal tion of a ticket, as is customary with them, they adopted a pfatform of principles which embraces their convictions on all questions of national politics now before tbe people. By a serious omission, ths telegraph failed to give a full report of the platforln apdoted. So fairly, aud fearlessly, have tbe Democrats of New Hampshire enunciated the cardinal doctrines of their political fa it b, and in such plain sound and uumit-lakeable language, that we can uot refrain from reproducing them entire. Tt is the old Democratic platform with the one plague spot of daiiiunce with Africiu slavery removed, That much the war did for Democracy, and with tha} one wrong doc.'ritie wiped from its record, its return now to tbe old land, marks a'jd advocacy of the- old doetrims, which won deserved victories on many a well contested field in the elder days, is a happy augery of auspicious events. New Hampshire Democrats have echoed the opinions cf their fellows, in Illinois and New York, and, in fact, of all the States, save only ohio and Pennsylvania, in the last election. It is unnecessary to say that the New Hampshire Democrats bold to the same faith as the GAZETTE. It is a faith the National Democratic party will adopt. Here is the platform:

Resolved. Tho Democracy of Now Hampshire recognize the final ttiemeni ot tho issues involved in tho late civil war and th" hiding force of the const it uMomd amendments, They ti.?.mas.d for nil citizens their full* constitutional rights cessation of Federal interference in local .affair* the (It-vo5 tion or the Government to tbe work ofcommerca, giving employment to labor and capital, urt fusterin^ tho interchange of the products ot t^e counr.v to tho end that the domestic peace and public prosperity exhibited throughout an united and happy nation. may prove tlie succ«ss of tho experiment of self-Government, and ensure tho perpetuity of the American republic, anu in a contest on this basis WH claim the co operation of all who desire strictly constitutional Government and "honest and economical administration.

Resolved. That the people of every State have the sole riuht ot covering themselves as tree, sovereign and independent .States, and ought to oxerciso and enjoy every powor, jurisdiction and right pertaining '.hereto which has not been by them expressly delegated to the United Statesof America in Congress assembled.

Resolved, That tlio Democratic party has been always, as it is now, tbe advocate ot. a sound currency, stable in amount, fixed in value and convertible iniocoiu ut the will of the holder.

Resolved, That tho present unstable, inflated aud fluctuating currency is the work., o-f tho Republican party, whose' financial theory has always tended1 iu that direction, and has largely contributed to the deplorable evils whicH now afflict the country.

Resolved. That we believe as the Democratic National Convention of 1872 declared, that "A speedy return to specie payments is demanded alike by the highest considerations of comnfbrcial morality and honest government." That such,legislation and administrative policy should be adopted as will steadily tnnd to this result with the least possible derangement ofthe business of the country, and'with due regard to tbe interests of all classes and sections. That the most safe, sure, di-rf-ct and speedy way to this end lies through seyere retrenchment, strict economy, careful husbandine of resources to legitimate purposia ofthe Government ju other words, through administrative reform and honest govern mrnt.

Resolved, That tho present condition of tne country, the paralysis which rests upon business and enterprise. the disgraceful state of tho cur rency, the enormous and unequal burden of taxation and the frignttul ex*hibitiou of waste,, profligacy, peculation ann iraud which characterize all branches of tbe public service all attest alike the unfitness of the Republican party to mantigo the affairs ot the country and the necessity of an immediate change and the most thorough and searching relorm in tbe National Administration.

Resolved, that the Democracy of New Hampshire, by their representatives here in convention assembled, pledge to the people their earnest efforts in favor of a sound currency, reform ot all abuses in the State and National Administrations, retrenchment and economy in public expenditures and equal an just taxation, to the end that labor may be as lightly burdened as possible, the adminlstra tion of public affairs be made efficient and this public indebtness he reduced, industry and enterprise be relievt-d of the incumbus now paralyzing them, and the old time, prosperity of tbe country be restored.

Resolved, Tfiat •. our. Inestimable system of common schools and our no lesB valuable scheme of xeligious toleration are the workmanship ot Demo cratio bands and tbe fruits of Democratic policyh That it|ia the education of its children. That ibis the inalienable right of every citixen to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and no political disabilities Bhould be incurred by reason of religou8 belief, and w^ile we will defend these principles and institutions to the fullest extent we deprccate all attempts to raise sectarian Issues in politics as otterly uncalled for, as reprehensible and as meriting the emphatic condemnation of every good ciUa m.

Resolved, That we favor a tariff for revenue only that wo are unalterably opposed to favoritism in Legislation, and to all subsidies to individuals, classes corporations or monopolies.

Resolved, That while the illustrious example of tbe spirit ofoor institutions is alike opposed to tbe Presidential third term, tbe present Chief-Execu-tive, by using the groat trusts incident to his office for persona) «nd family aggrandisement. by inflaming secretariau animosity and by interfering with the course of public justice toward defenders oft he .revenue and their abbntrors, demons) rates the wisdom ot the Fathers, and enforces belief" that a third term would be dangerous to tho- liberties of the oitixen ind tlie prrspeiify «.Y be nation.

ate asylum by his uncle. Col. Butis the person who so notoriously de« graded himself, and disgraced tbe country, when he was Consul General to Egypt. «,

Call for the Republican Convention. With the meeting of the National Republican Committee at Washington last week, the readers of the GAZAETTE have already been apprised. ID the telegraphic report of the proceedings was given the place where the conve«tiou was to be held, and the time. The call has since been issued, apd we give it herewith. It a.boastful, not to say vain-glorious, document. I tread '.

The next Union Republican National Convention for the nomination ot candidates for President and Vice President of the lTni'ed Stat?s ?.'!!] therelore be held In tfca city of Cincin nati, on Wednesday, tho 14ch day ot June 18X0, at twelve o'clock, noon, and will consist ot delegates .trom ouch State equal to twice the number ot Senators and Representatives in Congress, aud of two delegates from each organized Territory and the District of Columbia. In calling tho conventions for tho election of Delegates, the com mittees ot the several States aro ieeommended to Invite all Republican electors rfhd all other voters without regard to past political difficulties or previous party affiliations who are opposed to reviving sectional issues and desire to promote friendly feeling and permanent haimony throughout the country by maintaining and enforcing all the constitutional right of every citizen, including the full and frae exercise of the rights of suffrage without intimidation and without fraud who are in favor of tho continued prosecution and punishment of all official dishonesty and of an cconorrical administration of the Government by honest, taitbful and capable officers who aro in favor of making such reforms iu Government as experience may (rom lime to time suggest, who aro opposed to impairing the credit of the nation by depreciating any of its obligations, and in favor of sustaining in every way the national (with aud financial honor, who hold that the common school systom is the nursery ot American liberty, and should be maintained entirely troo from sectarian control, who believe tliat lor tho promotion of these ends ti.e direction o' the Government should continue to bo confined to those who adhere to the principles of 1776 and support thi as incorporated in the Constitution and the laws, and who wre in 'favor of recognizing and si renuthoning tbe fundamental princi pies of national unity in this Centennial anniversary of the birth of tbe Republic.

OUR morning contemporary, the Express in the following genial phrase pokes fun at Congressmen Hunter and bis absurd proposition to regulate the rate of interest by a usury law. It has not occurred to our contemporary that it? 0-5 inter &c., bond and paper raouey scheme is an own brother of the .usury law and possessed of all the family faults and failings. It says:

Congressman Hunter, of this district introduced his anti usury law yester day When be succeeds ir. lowering the prico of money by statute,we hojre be will turn his attention to the regulation of rents, the price ot printing paper, Ac. We should feel greatly obliged to him if he would put the prlcel of good all rag news down, say to five centsapouud. We wouldn't object, either, to a moderate reductien pf eatables, if the General pleases.

C'APT R. F. TRBVELLICK, of Michigan, a windy worker who gains bis bread by th* sweat of his jaw, speaks at the Court House to-morrow night, on tbe subject of greenbacks, and lots of them. Tbe GAZETTK hopes that the working men of Terre Haute will turn out in force, to hear this noisy demagogue. He helps the cause of honest money, by thejsopbistry of his advocacy of irredeemable greenbacks.

THK UOVKKNOrtSHIP.

Hon. Jem L. Williams^Declin tbe Use or Mia Name a Canfdate. Editor ofthe Fort Wayne Gazett«i

My name having been mentioned in connection with the office of Governor, and tbe meeting of tbe State Convention approaching, it is proper to say that I am not a candidate for the nomination. At the same time I cannot forbear to express, sincerely, my thanks to the Gazette and to my neighbors for marked expressions of confidence. The convention will readily find a standard bearer, better fitted to lead in the coming canvass —a canvass of the highest importance to tbe State and*the conntiy.

You remark truly, that I have ever acted with the Republican party since its organization, thougb, I trust, without personal unklndaess to any. And now, on review of tbe great and far reaching events of tbe last fifteen years—the momentous problems of public policy pressing for solution and settlement, periling tbe existence of tbe Union, through which perils tbe country was ao wisely guided, this stekdy support of tho Republican policy, has still tbe approval of my judgment and consciencc. Within no like period has there been so great advancement iu all that gives stability to national interests, or in the strength, grandeur and influence of the Uni ted States among the Governments of the world.

It would scarcely be creditible but for the record that, on the 12th of December, I860, fifteen years ago, an honored Democratic member of Congress from Ohio gravely proposed in that body the division of tne Republic in-{ to four seperate National Governments,—the North, the South, tbe West and the Pacific slope. Better coiiu'eln prevailed. Ninety days later Lincoln, the Republican President1 was inaugurated. Troops were call-, ed out for defence and lo et.force the laws and instead of four petty ernmentis ever in conflict over border interests, we have still the ohJ "Union of glorious memory, with thirty-seven States, vjveriug tire

whole area from ocean to ocean. Hie civil war overthrew, as we may hope extreme theories of State sovereignty. By sound construction we are a nation—a nation, too without a slave.

Tbe idea that the Republican party has fullfilled its mission is a notable fallacy. The wisdom and pru dence that saved in the storm, may be trusted to guide the ship in tbe succeeding calm.

Wreck of tho Harvest Queen,

SINKS IX THE IRISH CIIAHKKT

3«nvjr LMI of Life and Destruction pi' Property.

New York, Jan. 14.—From information received here it is determined beyond doubt that the Harvest Queen, a full rigged ship ofthe Black Bull line, was sunk by a collision in tbe Irish Channel and that her crew numoering thirty men was lost. It is further^ believed from statements made by sailors of the steamship Adri -tic, that it was that vessel which came in collision with the Harvest Queen, There is no record of the Collision on tho log-book of the Adriatic and Capt. Jennings explained to the agent of the line that the collision was so slight that be did not think rt worth while to say anything to about it. It happened a ltttlo before 3 o'clock on the morning of Doc. 31st. The executive officer had charge of the steamer. He saw a ship approaching in a

zig

zag course so that

he deemed it unsafe to keep the adriatic in her tegular course. He accordinulv stopped tbe steamer ringing tbe bells to reverse the

eDgine,

and sent below

for me but the ship kept approaching and the steamer had backed so far that while tho water was just about eveu with the funnels when suddenly the ship turned about, crossed over bows and struck her

jib

boom on our anchor

stock. I myself was on deck Vy this rime and understanding that CFies for help had been heard from the water I ordered th« boats to be lowered thinking that ptfrnups some sailors had been at work on tlie jib at the 'time ot the collision and had been evveptoverboacd. The ship itself sailed off as though nothing had happened and after piping, the steamer bove to about three hours without finding anything. I ordered the

Dells

to ring

to go ahead. Subsequently I heard some talk among tho men that wo had sunk a vessel, but that was, of course too absurd to be listened to. The collision was of no account whatever.

A'Eeaman gives tho following version: Thursday. Dec. 30'h, the Adriatic sailed" from Liverpool. About half-past two Friday morning whmoff Wayne Head the man on the look out sighted the vessel on the starboard tack, and gave tho alarm, and tbe steamer changed her course. In about ten miuutes the lookout again gave the alarm* for tbe vessels were closii fast upon each other. It was a a starry night a mouiemt passed, and then the Adriatic shotl into the how of the stranger. The engine was at once reversed, and the steamer backed a mile or two. Boats were lowered, and as they were rowed away the lights of the strange vessel sank lower and lower, until they reached tbe water's edge, and then tho bull, masts and all sank out of sight. Cries of drowning men could be distinctly beard, aud they gave directions as they.floated for a moment, which course to take to find them. No one, however, was rescued. It would seem that the collision was not violent enough to disturb the passengers. and they only knew ot it from the talk of the crew. The Earvest Queen arrived at Queenstown Dec. 29th from San Francisco, and on the 30th sailed for Liverpool. y.

It is said •that in the private caucus, the Repualicans decided not to participate in the elect ion of senator, on the ground tbat the election wascaitied on by fraud and violence. O-e wing of the Republican party desired to compliment Senator Alcorn, while the other wing desired to pay General A. Warner, late chairman of the Republican executive commit* tee, anu ex-state senator and genera' of mi.itia, that distinguished honor.

Yesterday the atorney general fiied a bill in equity, bringing to light the doings of tne notorious land grab and fraud called tbe Pearl River Naviga* tion company, of which Warner was treasurer. This scheme windled the state out ofa large sura, and the chief actors ex. cepting Warner, have left the state The bill and publication of particulars created such sensation that those wiio desi.ed to compliment Warner could not stand the pressure tbey were equally averse to vote for Alcorn, therefore the whole matter was compromised by voting blank.
