GAZETTE. Terre Haute, Ind.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1878.

Ir was all verv well when Scipio Afri. canus introduced the custom, but the "Humanitarian seciety of London,'' it disposed to quarrel with Stanley for "car" ryingthe war into Africa."

A coRRESPONDENTof the New York World, writing from London, says that "poker is placed everywhere in the metro{ olifc." So after al! Robert Schenck did do something for the blojody Britisher.

THE first number of the Sullivan True Democracy is on our table. It is a handsome foliuof eight columns, and betrays evidences of care and ability in its make up, both editorial and typographical. It is 6oundly Democratic and looks as if it had come to stav.

ON Wednesday of last week the Kentucky legislature passed a bill authorizing the use of the whipping po^t in ciiminal cases. On the final ballot the vote stood 63 in favor to 21 again it. Some doubts are expressed on tha subject of its passage by the senate. Delaware is the only 6tate at present retaining the whipping post.

DEMOCRATIC conventions were held Satuiday in Vermillion and Parke count* ie6. In both cases the conventions passed resolutions instructing their delegates to vote for Hon. Patrick Shannon of this city for treasurer of state. The pro jects oi Mr. Shannon, are most excellent. He may be nominated on the fir6t ballot.

A CORRESPONDENT who signs himself 'Saxon" expresses his opinion, in a communication to the GAZETTE, that England will insist on the Dardanelles being opened to herself and will fight to protect her eastern interests. Well, it does look a little that way, to-day, sure, Then we will have some fighting, when England ''shies her castor into the ring.'l

IN Philadelphia, the people are raising a racket about the prices charged at the theatres, Madame Modjeska is at ting at the Arch 6treet theatre, and the man •ger is charging a dollar and a ha'.f for tickets. The othtr theatres in that city have rtduced pi Ices in some instances 50 per cent, nnd the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph asserts that the old prices will not be paid again. Managers "can make the prices what they choose can even charge the $2 and $3 which they are so fond of telling us tne aristocracy of Lon don and Paris continually yearn to pay for the privilege of theater'going—but on the other hand the royal American can exercise his prerogative by staying away. Fifty and seventy five cents are enough tor any theatrical entertainment it i6 possible to put on any stag* in the land—managers may be assured that the public ha6 settled on that fact. The earnings of star actors have been preposterously large—out of all comparison with

their

merits, or with the earning of

gifted men and women in other professions. There must be a change—it has already begun, and those actors and managers will be wise who trim their sails to suit the veering wind." —rtt ONE BY ONE THE ROSES FALL.

From the Boston" Herald we take the following item relating to the exposure of a so-called spiritual medium:

Considerable excitement was caused at Central hall, Salem, last week, by the borough exposure of James M. Chcate, the flower test medium, in his remarkable feat of pr during natural flowers. A committee ol three were chosen to examine the medium and see that nothing was secreted on his person. While attending 'to this duty they asked to see the handkerchief that C'hoate held in his hand.

Choatc refused to do this, but the committee insisted, and secreted in its folds »rtewas found a number of flowers. With4 but making any explanation, the medium immediately departed by the back entrance. /.}

After a while it will be understood, as "the GAZETTE has always insisted *ithat there are no genuine mediums outside of Terre Haute. One bv one they are detected, and exposed. But here the circus goes on ^nd 011'. with everv .'/prospect of lasting forever. Soothe GA '^.ZRTTE feels justified in saying that there is but one Annie Stewart, and Dr. Pence is her ir.anager. Persons desirous of "\callftig up 6pirit6 from the vas'y deep, »an»l talking, eating and drinking with them, squeezing their hands and im,Sprinting chaste salutes upen their ruby »"-lips or ulubastcr cheeks, must come to 1\ rre Haute. None others are genuine.^

"i -V -4Z

IT is said that the conviction of Anderson. one of the Louisiana returning board scoundrels, has excited the indignation ol

President Hayc9 and h:s cabinet. We are loth to believe anything of the kind. For President Hayes to be indignant at the conviction of Anderson, for the commission of one of the moot brazen and conspicuous crimes of the century, would go far to prove, what has often been asserted, but what the GAZF.TTE has never believed, viz.: that he himself was a pirty to the i'lainies of Anderson. Of all the villainous engines of lraud and corruption in politics, the returning boards of the south were the most outrageous Corspicuous among these vile institutions, was the returning board of Louisiana, the head and front of which was J. Madison Wells, and Anderson was an efficient and dirtv lieutenant. Before the end of the first quarter tf its second century the country would go all to pieces, if this monstrous machinery of knavery were permitted to exist. It is the most devilish device ever contrived for subverting the will o! the people and substituting in its place the decree of ft pack of pot-house politicians. Very rightfully Anderson hae been tried. Very rightfully he has been convicted. Forhim to be pardoned, or, in any way, to escape the full rigor of the law would be a perversion of justice most impolitic and unfair. lie and Wells should end their days inside of prison walls.

GIDEON WELLS.

A brief despatch in the GAZETTE this alternoon, announces the death, at his home in Hartford, Conn., of Gideon Wells, secretary of the navy under Lincoln and Johnson. Mr. Wells was a native of Glastonburg, Conn., havingbeen born there July 1, I8.)2. Tie studied law, but entered journalism in 1S26, at the age of twenty-four. He became editor and proprietor of the Hartford Times, a Democratic paper. In 1836 he was appointed postmaster ot Hartfcrd in 1842, state comptroller and in 1846 was made a chief of one of the bureaus in the navv department, a position which he held for three years, and to which he undoubtedly owed hi? subsequent appointment as secretary. In 1837 he severed his connection with tha Hartford Times. He belonged to the liberal or anti-Le-compton wing ot the Democratic party and as such was opposed to the extension of slavery into the Territories.

When the breach widened and the Republican party was born he was one of its first disciples. He was chairman of the Republican national convention at Chicago which nominated Mr. Lincoln. He was appointed by by him Secretary of the Navy and held the office for the full term ot 8 years, serving under Lincoln and Johnson, until the close of the latters administration. That part of his record is fresh in the public mind and need not be repeated. It is sufficient to say that he proved himself an efficient manager and his integrity was never questioned,

Since his retirement, he has figured in the magazines, having several vears ago written for the Galaxy a series of caustic articles, eulogizing President Lincoln, and criticizing an address delivered by Charles Francis Adams in which Seward was commended at the expense of Lincoln. •tiiff'ShHA '1'

HELL?

Under its new management, the North American Review is one of the mo6t wideawake and thoroughly newsy—if that word is allowable—magazines now published. By "newsy," as applied to a magazine, is meant something different from the same word when used concerning a daily paper. And yet there is such aj thing fas a "newsy" magazine, and the Ncrih American as now conducted is, the best proof, as it is the most conspicuous illustration of the fact. Its pages are not given at all to a recital of facts, but are exclusively devoted to discussion. But it has seized upon the policy of discussing current questions of interest-, and on a plan wholly its own. Taking the leading subjects of interest before the people, as originated by events and developed by the newspapers, it proceeds to secure the very best talent of specialists in that field, and throws open its pages to a presentation of all the phases of the question as presented by its IcaJ ing advocates. This is well illustrated by its forthcoming number, "tlell" has been dug up from, the depths within the past few weeks, by Canon Farrar, Beech er, Pope Bob Ingersoll, and other emi nent divines and newspaper ^"devils. It has been abolished and revivtd. Its( fires have been extinguished and they have been stirred up and make exceedingly bright. It has been located on' ewth, in the mind, conscience, and the heart. It ha6 been placed in the present and defet red to the future. It has —well a "hell of a racket" has been raised about it Now what does the North American do? It secures six of the most prominent clergyman on his country, representing six sects, and get them io present their views all of which it proposes to publish in the forth coming number. This, in a staid old magazine the GAZETTE calls as enterprising as "the devil."

TO PERMIT POOL SELLING Albany N. Y. Fek. 13.—A bill has been iatro Juc in the senate, permitting pool selling on race-tracks.

Washington, Feb. 12—M'-r- ill, from the committee on financ-, uyo, ted favorably on the house j'»'pr resolution, de claring that a reducti »n i^fiax on distilled spirits is inexpedient, and. gave notice that he would call it up for consideration to-morrow morning. It was placed on thecallendar. He also repotted a substitute for the senate bill to provide for a commission on the subject ot alcoholic liquor traffic, and it was placed on the callendar. [Special Tel 'gram to the Indianapolis Journal-]

THE INDIANA MARSHALSHIP. Benjamin Spooner was nominated today to be Marshal of Indiana for another term, which will be his fourth. There was considerable opposition to his reappointment, became of his long continuance in office, but the President held that the fact of his havine served so long added to hi» qualifications, and was additional argument for his reappointment.

A NICE MAN FOR AN OFFICE. A man named Reed was recently nominated for marshal of Alabama, and advocated the assasination of the Presi dent and the murder of Federal prisoners, urging that it would be cheaper to shoot them than to feed them. A file of Reed's paper has been placed in possession of the Sena Committee on Judiciarv, and shoulJ not be United States marshal. It is not likely the President knew the character of Reed when he nominated him.-'- "i P" THE PRESIDENT AND ANDRSON'S CASE.

The President will write a letter to Attorney-General Devens, instructing him to do whatever may be done under the law to extend protection to General Anderson, who was recently convicted at New Orleans. This letter will speak of the prosecutions of Republicans at New Orleans in very decided teims of disapproval, and a violation of pledges made to the President when Nicholls was recognized as Governor.
