"Governor Tiiden has won his reputation as are former, mainly by the prosecution of the Canal Ring in tie State New York. I will not follow others in questioning his motives, but roadily admit that persecution to have been an enterprise requiring considerable cour age, circumspection and perseverance, for which he should have full credit. Should he be elected President he will undoubtedly eject from their places,and if possible, otherwise punish all the dishonest officers now in the service." -Carl cti.ir/. i:i iii-t OVi.'.i£ so i'i.

CAR SCHURZ did not awaken one7 t:nth partof the enthusiasm last night which he did in August, 1872, when he spoke against the Republican party in the Democratic temple. He was then with, and is now against, the people.
HinMiiul a good
man to succccd Mr. Sjebnrger, deceased as a candidate for the Legislature, on the Democratic ticket. Mr. Havens made a fine reputation for himself in the Legislature two years ago, and his selection bv the Committee would he a wise one.
IT affords the GAZETTE great pleasure to be able to announce that its efforts for peace among the brethren have not been without avail. Fraternity prevails. The horrid din of war has ceased, and the lions and the lambs have laid down together. Once more newspaper row is quiet and serene.
JUDGE"CA RLTON.
Th. loss to the Democratic ticket on Saturday, through the death of thatwor thy citizen, Louis Seeburger, could not have been better repaired than by the ap pointn.ent by the executive committee of Judge A. 13. Carlton to fill the vacancy, That the Judge will be our next representative in the legislature is sure that he should receive that distinction is still more certain.
WEPROCESSION.
The torch light processions as the Ex press ti-rms them "the gem gams to at tract the feeble," the one of Saturday night still amply proves one thing that the democrats of Vigo county is the strongest of any political organization. Its men may back the perfection ofdrill the party may be destitute of perfect organization, since it has no Filbeck and must wait to victory without an Ed Stevens, but it has the numbers, and that is all an}'
candidate in his right mind wants. Thtt procession is admitted on all hands to have been the longest which ever marched on Terre Haute streets..,
Elsewhere in our local columns will be found a full report.
THE news from Ohio, is it possible more encouraging than from Indiana The Republicans in the Buckeye State are despondent and the Democrats jubi lant. Every man who voted last falagainst Haves will vote the Democratic State ticket this year. In addition to them, may be counted the almost solid German clement of the State, whic ilast year was Republican and this is Democratic. The "Pope's toe" is out of" he fight and that large body of Democrats whose natural leader is Senator Thuj man, are more enthusiastic this year than they were last when the State platform was so distasteful to them. It would no surprise the GAZETTE if Ohio gave a Democratic majority of 25,000 votes on Tuesdav next.
AMONG the eminent divines with which the Chicago pulpits are crowded, Robert Colyer holds a very prominent position. There is considerakle humanty in his religion, and a great deal of reigion in his politics, which will account for his being for Tiiden, Hendricks and reform. Several weeks before the Cincinnati Convention, he happened to be ,in attendance on a Bristow meeting, ind 1 was called on for a speech. He declined making a speech, but favored the audience with the following anecdote, which gave his experience of the reform profession of the republican party. The story runs "A great many years ago, on one of our Southwestern rivers, there was an old dipper who had a steamboat which was sailing in shoaly water and got stuck in the mud. She "swung around in the water jird there wa« nc chance to get her afloat, do what they would. He was a terribly profane old fellow, and everybody knew it through the country, Suddenly an idea struck him.
He said to one ot his deck/lands: 'You go up to the town and tel them I have got religion, and I want them .£§ to come and hold a prayer-meeting on board.' The deck-hand went to the town i.i.i! rmd the news around, and every
$uw*. *t?
one being interested in the old 'Skipper's conversion, went to hold the prayer-meet-ing*
The old man was
to
receive them, and as they came down he said to every man, af and th.iv
all
until there was a great wei= the end which was in the mud got loose, and the ship floated off. As soon as the ship got afloat the skipper said. The meeting i-s over. Jump ashore.' In our Republican party—I mean those leaders—there are men who get religion every time there is going to be an election. They say, 'Gentlemen, go aft go aft.' And we go aft. We area good-natured crowd in this country. The best-natured fellows anywhere on this planet are a crowd of Americans, such as
I
see be
fore me to-night. We are good fellows and we go aft, and the old ship floats again and then we jump ashore. Now I don't mean to have anything more^ to do with that old scipper. I mean to hnd, if I can, one man who doe.sn get religion once in every four year"
THE SILVER QUESTION-
There is a disposition upon the part of the Republicans to give the party from the consequences of the foolish act of 1873, demonetizing silver. Whether„it was a blunder, or a crime, or both or neither, tiiey are not quite pertain, but having in view the almost universal sentiment in this section, in opposition to the bill, they are trying to apologize for the attitude of their party by saying it is not an issue in this campaign.
To al^ I nt only,'are they righ the assertion that it is not a question in this campaign. It is not, to be sure, a plank in the National platform of any one of the four partier. Agitation of the question had not become general when the parties met in convention. The full measure of the iniquity perpetrated by the bill, demonetizing silver, was not known when thj convention m2
It was not, therefore made a part of any platform. The fact that all mention of il was omitted from the platforms, does not' however, diminish the importance of the question, one jot or title.
It is 0 great ar.d iriomentuos issue, anmur.t be met by th pie with the best lights befor them. It will be four years before anoth er national convention meets. In that time much of our debt will have matured and have been paid. It is neither righ nor proper that we should postpone un til that time, a question of present importance. A nd what is that question It is the question of undoing apiece of Republican legislation which it is charity to call a blunder. It is possible that many persons in b3t'.i)th2 v.ii an.i S-inite, di not understand the bill when it was pass ed. But its authors and promoters did It was concocted in tne Treasury Department, at the head of which was a
Republican cabinet officer. They knew what it meant. It passed through the House under the managemant of Hooper of Massachusetts, a Republican congressman. He and his party friends knew what it meant. It passed the Senate un der the charge of Senator John Sherman of Ohio. He and his party friends knew what the bill meant. It was signed by a Republican President. He aught to have known what it meant if he did not for th year before he h^d signed a bill doubling his salary, the better to pay him for his masterful attention to public affiars.
It was a bill conceived in the brain 01 a Republican official, nurtured and sustained in the House aud Senate by an overwhelming Republican majority christened by the High Priest of the party in the-united Sepulchre at the other end of the avenue. That is its percentage. Its sponsors are such as we hove 6aid. This cannot be denied. If our Republican friends please, they will not hang around our doorsteps with the infant. It was gotten in lawful wedlock, and it parents will be forced to provide for its creature wants.
Other parties may make a good defence for failure to engraft this plank in their platforms on account of the late ness of the agitation of the subject, but the Republican nartv cannot. It's leaders at the time of the passage of the bill Jits leaders i.- knew at the time of the passage of the bill, what' meant and what it was intended to accomplish. They could not have done in their convention any thing other, than indorse the act of 1S73, demonetizing silver. If they had advocated its repeal they would have been placed in the attitude of appealing to the country for support at tne polls, on the rather slipping ground, that they had perpetrated a blunder which they best could correct If partisan papers, on the contrary adm 'i that the leaders betrayed the people in the passage of the bill, they take the exact position of the Democratic party, which asks for the retirement, at the hands of the people, on that very account. There fore, we invite into the Democratic party, all who are in favor of remonetizeng silver. Through it, and through it alone can the thing be accomplished.

GENTILE DEVELOPMENT IN UTAH.
When I say that the non-Mormon population, which did not exceed 1,000 in 1869. now numbers at least 15.000, and that four-fifths of these are men, the reader will doubtless feel curious as to the effect on Mormonism. The first effect, of course, was a furious effervescence—a social phenomenon similar to the chemical action when acids arouse a dormant alkali. The Saints (which is the modest self-designation of the Mormons were the most conservative people in the world, the new-comers the restless and innovating the Snii fs COmpl te devotees of a theocracy, me Gentiles furiously democratic the former perfectly 'willing to have all their voting done bv a priesthood, the latter determined on organizing political parties and discusspublic questions as in the communities from which they came. Of course there was trouble. The Mormon Church officials appoint all the Territorial officers, and then have the people elect them by a unanimous vote. Every bollot is marked and numbered, and if, as rarely happens, any Saint votes against the Church ticket, he (or she!) is promptly disciplined. A gentlerAan who was present and and saw it. states that John D. Lee. the butcher of Mountain Meadows, stood at the polls in his town and cast tiiree hundred and fifty votes—for himself and each of his eighteen wives, for his thirty sons and their wives, for his daughters and their husbands, and for all the neighbors, who sent their ballots along by him! The Gentiles paid more than halt the taxes, but had no voice in the government, ^h'i Saints had absolute control of the courts and juries, and laughed at those w'10 talked^ of punishing Lee and iiis fellow-assassins. The first fight of the gentiles was against the Mormon Probate Courts. In this they were victorious before the Supreme Courf of the United States, and now only the United States District Courts have (j^neral jurisdiction. But the Saints still have a majority of the jury so the Mountain Meadow assassins can be brought to trial, but can not be convicted. Meanwhile free speech and a free press were established. Eight years ago we were hedged in at every point.
There was literally no safety or liberty for a non-Mormon here, except in silence and submission. Z. Snow, Esq., attorney for the church, gave notice in his speech before the United States Court, that if the Mormon Probate Court were not allowed criminal jurisdiction, ''streams of blood would flow in the streets of this city." Biighain Young I have repeatedly heard curse every official here, announce that they could only stay by suffrance, and had no legal rights here whatever. The change cost the blood of some good men. Eight vears ago we published our iittle daily paper in the upper story of a stone building. with a hatchway ready to be thrown open at any moment to cut offa mob and when the editor went out at night he took ti'C middle of the street, and kept is hand on his revolver. Now there is not a valley in Utah so remote but a man may speak, write, or print what he pleases, and thi-v dare not touch him. The first Gentile who married a Mormon's "plural" wi.e was shot dead on Main street. Now siu-h a marriage is as safe in Utah as it is in Ohio. The

Gentile who ventured to eon'.cst .1 .«se with the city was brutally nvndevi-d by a band of the secret police." \Vu- such a case can be tried on its merits with perfect safety.
A Liberal party has en organized, and cast 5000 votes in 1S74 it controls one county and half a dozen towns, and if Congress could oni be persuaded to guarantee us a free ballot, would soon have a healthful minority in the legislature. Three things the liberals intend to have, and will keep up the fight till they get them: A free ballot, free trade, and a system of accountability among public officials. But, aside from these, thue is an irreconcilable difference between theocracy and republicanism and no matter how able the officials the President sends to Utah, the trouble will continue all the same till the question as to which is to be paramount is settled. I know manv of the young Mormons are delighted "with the change the old ones resist it most stubbornly, and with a great deal of ingenuity. Congress ought to give the Territory an amended jury law and a free ballott, ti en the minority woi.ld hold its own and increase.
As to polygamy, I am sure it, is on the decline. Indeed,"there ha6 beeh no subsequent period in Mormon history when there were so many polygamus marriages as from 1852 to I75?- The young people are disgusted with it. One phase of the subject is especially repulsive—the mixtures of blood relationship. Some cases within my knowledge have giv^" rise to consanguineous puzzles that will bother the Master in Chancery, if the estates ever get into court.—J.

A Sketch of the Immense Donation made by the Queer old Mil lionaire, James Lick,
of
San Francisco.
Why he did not Allow the Money to be Used as Originally Directed.
A Lady at tho Bottom of it.
•Sail Francisco SOpt. 23.
Sometime about August. 1S74, Jrimes Lick, an old citizen, a money-getter, and up to that time esteemed only in addition as a money kee~er, startled the city of San Francisco by "making over an estate valued oy experts at from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000" to trusteees for the benefit of its public institutions and the erection of monuments of art and patriotism. A telescopc—to which that of Lord Ross' was but an opera-glass, one that was to show us that our knowledge of the sublimest truths of astronomy was but that of blind pups one that Kelper looking through might well exclaim: "Oh, God I think Thy thoughts after Thee,"—was to b: erected in our midst. The author of"Thc Star Spangled Banner," that glorious anthem which is more to us than the "Marseillaise" is to the Frenchmen, the "Garibaldian Hymn" to an Italian, or "The Wearing of the Green" to an Irishman, was to have had a monument in our State, and technical schools, the gift of a millionaire, were to teach our voung boys to "cease to do evil and learn to do well." Such was the programme, and loudly was
THE GREAT PHILANTHROPIST hailed by the press, The gentlemen, however, who was in the Habit of doing good bv stealth,and blushing to find it fame, did not furnish the prototype of Mr. Lick. The latter gentleman, by his after proceedings showed that he much more closely remembered the young lady in the variety hall song. For first he would and then he wouldn't, then he smiled on his trustees, and said he couldn't, and wound up by calling them all naughty boys.
Eight months after the grand gift had been announced, when he had tasted the sweet flattery of the press when he had been told many languages didst thou speak—Spanish among them baritone was thy voice in early days, and of the highest school thy vocalization for a few days—and then had to give place to live subjects, he again startled the world b\ filling an instrument revoking his former deed of trust. His original trustees were the late Thomas II. Selby, D. O. Mills Henrv M. Newhall, William Alvord^ George II. Howard, Jam?s Otis, and John O. Earl. The reason alleged in the document filed by him for this revocation was that he had not made a suitable provision for his relations, and that he wished to resettle and arrange the whole matter. lie also stated that he was in failing health at the time he executed the deed, and that it was executed by lum hastily, and under THE EFFECTS OF MENTAL DEPRESSION, caused by h*s bad health. In other words, "When the devil was well, the devil a saint was he." 1 their first impulse of indignation the original trustees determined to try the question at law whether Mr. Lick had a right to "give a thing and take a thing," as the children sav, but ultimately wiser counsels prevailed, and they gave v. ay to the following gentlemen who toC)K charge, a modification having been made in the trust, to which reference is made further on:
Richard Floyd, John Nightingale, E. D. Atherton, B. D. Murphy, of Santa Clara, and John II. Lick, his son.
Months went by, and the public thought that, until the big telescope, the "StarSpangled Banner" monuirent, or the technical schools, were given to the pub lie, with the usual flourish of trumpetsand popping of champagne cork6, the last had been heard of the Lick trust. Why the old man ever modified his trust was unknown to the public. That was only known to a select few, and is now given to the readers of the Post for the first time.
A SECRET HISTORY.
Bulwer makes the Cardinal Due de Richelieu tel! us "even I loved once," and, like the great Minister of France, the enemy of Annie of .Austria and the architect of the fortunes of Louis the Eleventh, James Lick, in his young days pntst-like as he appears "to us now, with but little space for a lady's face to lie and be loved in his breast," had his amour. He was a young man then, and nearly fifty years "have elapsed since in Fredericksburg, Lebanon County, Pa., he loved and was loved in return. Parents, how ever, who always will step in and prevent the course of trus love from running smooth, opposed the young man's passion and would not hear of his marrying. The result was, James Lick played Armand to the fair one's Camille, and in due time he was presented with a son par ia main gauche, as our lively Gallic friends say. The boy sprang" to manhood, and was, and is, known East as John H. Lick. While he was still an urchin, Lick went to South America and started in to open that ovster, the world, in Chili. The boy grew up with his mother in Pennsylvania, and. having considerable business talent, made money, and in time became a large shareholder in the Lebanon Bank. When Lick, leaving Chili, the land of
"NORTHERS," EARTHQUAKES, AND
"CHICHA,"
came to San Francisco, his son joined him and stopped with him for about ten years. During this period, at some time or other, the old man in writing, acknowlcdged.that Lick was his legitimate son. The papers, however, went astray, and 'John returned East. When the suddtn fit of benevolence struck the old man it did not extend to the son, and it was onlv after great persuasion on the part of the trustees, who represented that the trust would certainly be contented if he did not make some provision for his relatives, that his boy, or rather man, put down for $150000. Lick 6 gift having been trumpeted throughout the land naturally excited some attention from his son, who thought that charity ought to begin at home, and, hunting over his papers, he found by chance the verv document establishing his legitimacy. "Armed with these papers, the
Hon J. VV. Kellinger came out to San Francisco at John Lick's request, saw the great philanthropist, showed him the papers, and instead that he should revoke
%L
the original deed of trust, put name in any new one he might $150,000, and make him a tru: and in obedience to this cncrgetii ho old man revoked his original '"STILL HE WAS NOT HAPP
A year and a half passed heads of the much-endowed San Francisco, and no more was Lick or his "prircilv gift" until time since, when the trustees re polite note asl ing them to resij new Board had been appointe* old man had got tired of the Bor his son on it. He knew that the of a trustee was one in which a of damage might be done by a d: 'chip of the old block." and he his son shitted. Somehow '.he did not see with his eves, aid them o^t." Those gentlemen, have not resigned, and will do under legal advice. They have jeetion to throwing o(F a weijht navy from their shoulders, but the lo be perfectly safe in what they de'V after legal consequences. «w another strange story.
Mr. Lick has poor rclati\ns-r,v man with five or 6ix million ddlal not? He has a sister in Lebanoi Pa., who, poor woman, has had her bread by the sweat of her ajej who has had to act as a janitrws menial work to prevent the coat: hungry stomach from rubbing tc and causing the wolfish feeling df within, and the man of millions her a roof to cover her, which he' his own name, allowing her to role of tenant-at-will. He haS^ other relations, too, a little "les] kind," who would be glad to wee water tears of sensibility and wipii away with cambric handkerchiefs. death if he would leave th-m stj, money to buy such expensive moi and these latter have ttarted tl that James Lick is insane. Into of a representative of the Post tl was whispered that the whole fact San Francisco have for month visited the old man at various tim behalf of the trustees, to see that all right, and that his head, in vul lance, was level. Anxious to as the truth of the 6tory, the repoi once waited on some of the new bers of the board of trustees.
NEVER HEARD OF IT.!
United States Sub Treasurer Sh was found in his office in the Tr building, and interrogated as follow "It has been stated. Mr. Sherma Mr. Lick has been.examined by a ber of medical men as to his snnitj I wish to know what truth there is statement."
I think Mr. Lick is pir.ectly sa never had any reason to think wise." "But he has been examined by physicians recently, has he not?" "I know nothing about any mcdi animation." "Have the old trustees sent in th signations as yet?" "No. There is no difficulty wh about that. They will resign as so they can do so legally."
Feeling perfectly" assured thai Sherman kept something to himself scarcely tell to any, the reporter waited on George Schonewald, the agerof the Lick House, and anoth the new trustees. This gentlema pressed an equal ignorance in rega the private inquiry as to Lick's and the discouraged but not de scribe next called on Charles M. another of the new Boartl.
