SALISBURY was presented with a garter yesterday, by his grateful Queen.

THE New Albany Ledger-Standard betrays a desire to have the Democratic party nominate Senator Bayard, of Delaware, for President in 1880. Senator Bayard is a sound Democrat and an able man, and would, if elected President, serve the country with fidelity and credit.

THE Bowmanites, notwithstanding the

w* Supreme Court of Illinois has rendered a decision adverse to their chief, in the *f '^ylsuit between him and what is known as

the widsr

Council, at East St Louis, still

maintain their right to govern the city. Bowman insists that he is still Mayor and retains hi6 iorce of City Marshals and several public buildings. Hit? opponents assert their intention to dispossess them

of the buildings they hold and to arresj their marshals. Apprehensions of a collision are felt, and it Is fewred there may be considerable loss of life before the difficulty is finally adjusted.

THE Democratic State Central Committee has decided to formally open the canvass, throughout the State, on Saturday,

August 10th. Mass meetings will be held in every Congressional distric1 in the State on that day or in the evening. The committee has invited our distinguished townsman, Hon. B. W, Hanna to speak at one of these meetings. It has not yet been determined which one he will address, nor has he fully decided as yet whether his business engagement will admit of his participating at all. The GAZETTE, however, ventures to predict that he will speak. Mr. Hanna has always been ready to respond

the numerous demands off the party upon his time and talents.

A DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING. We desire to call the attention of the Democratic Central Committee of Vigo county to the consideration of tbe propriety of calling A meeting at Terro Haute, on the 1st or 8th of August, to be addressed by Son ator Voorhees, Arrangements can be made with the E. A

T.H. railroad te take passen

gers the round trip for SI. If such a meeting can be held at the time above indicated, we assure tbe Democracy of Vigo county that they will have the largest delegation from Sullivan ounty th»t was ever present in that city. Let u« hear from them on tnis subject.—|Sullivan True Democracy.

This is a good suggestion by our Sullivan contemporary. A meeting of the kind proposed should be held, and the GAZETTE adds its voice to that of the True Democracy, in urging it upon the County Committee.

SECRETARY of the Interior Schur2 Tuesday rendered an important decision in relation to the land grants of railroads corporations. It touches the Pacific railroads which have been buil, within recent years, and to each one of which enormous gifts of land were made. In each of the grants was a provision to the effect that all lands so granted which shall not be sold or disposed of by the company within three years after the entire road shall have been completed shall be subject to settlement and premption like other government lands, at a price net exceeding $1,25 per acre to be paid to such company. Despite this provision of the law making the grant, these roads have persisted in asking any price they pleased for their lands, and have refused to sell at $1.25 per acre when asked to do so, Secretary Schui decides that they must live up to the original contract, and his decision concludes with direction to locals officers to enforce the contract.

A A N A I A N W E A E PROPHET. Vennor, the Canadian weather prophet, early in the season made a number of predictions for Canada, which have been emarkably fulfilled.

Not many weeks ago he issued a set of "forecasts" for the summer and fall, the substance being as follows: The latter half of June will be^ intensely warm with but little rain. July will enter with intense heat, which will continue up to *be neighborhood of the 15th. After this date a cool change will set in, with, very probably, frost at nights. Heat again during the last few days of the month. August will also enter exceedingly hot and dry, and continue so up to between the 10th and 15th days, after which cool weather, |with northwes, gales, and frost at night, may be expected to extend through a large portion of the month. There may probably be an approach to snow during this cold, blustery period. This will end the dry term, which will have lasted from the middle of June, Rains will again set in with September and continue through this month and October, and there will be consider' able and yery early snowfall during the latter month. The snow, however, will of course rapidly disappear, and will be followed by a brief period of summerlike weather. As the first part of the summer corresponded well with the prophecies, we shall take an interest in noting whether the remaining predictions pr®ve equally true.

So far he seems ahead of Tice. -s ,»•

THE INDIANA TWEED RING. The state house robber* have such an organisation In Indiaaa as Boss Tweed had In New Tork. It will be remembered that the Bess spent the deolinlng years of his life in penitentiary.—| Mourning Sxpress.

Suppose you descend to particulars. John Collett, assistant geologist of the State, is a member of the Board. He lives a few miles north of the city and is as well known here as if he was la resident. He has a reputation for honesty second to that of no man in Terre Haute. If? necessary he could get eT!rv man in the county who knows him and who has any property to go on his bond. There is not a man who knows him who would not trust him indefinitely with his own personal possessions. He is an eminent geologist, and actually knows nearly as much about stone, its properties, qualities and value as the GAZETTE'S contemporary pretends to know about finances. What we want to know is whether or not our ex citable and erratic contemporary considers him a member of the State house rebber organization of Indiana similar to that which Boss Tweed had in New York, and about which it adjures the people to remember that the Boss spent the declining years of his life in jail? There are four State house com* missioners, and, including Governor Williams, five. Are they .all robbers?

Sand ford Station Vigo C« Indiana. —[indianapoliB Herald. Somebody has been hoaxing, either the rredical college, or the Herald, or both. Sandford is a bright and beautiful village nine miles west of Terre Haute on the I. & St. L. Ry. It is noted for the beauty 0/ its girls and the intelligence of its boys It is one of the most "culchahed. towns in Indiana, and any one half so illiterate a6 the author of the letter which the Herald publishes, would not be permitted to dwell within its precints. So marked is its superiority over neighborng villages, in point of literary attainments, that it has excited the jealousy of them all. And this probably offers a solution of the authorship of the letters. It was written by some fellow over in Illinois (Sandford is only a half mile from the Illinois line) with a view to bringing shame and derision on that fair and beautiful city. The GAZETTE is glad that it can expose the vile conspiracy.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. Our Republican friends selected a good ticket at their County Convention on Saturday. We do not a for a moment imagine that the ticket will be elected, but if it is, the business of the County, in all probability, will be faithfully and iairly conducted. So far as we have yet been able to learn, the records of the candidates are good. None of them have ever been in jail, though the candidate for sheriff, we presufhe, wants to get there, and wont, which seems strange when so many poor devils have tried to keep out and been put in.

A committee was intrusted with the duty of selecting candidates tor the Legislature. This, it is presumable, means that unusual pains must be taken to make that portion of the ticket strong. It is an acknowledgement of the stre gth of that part of the 'Democratic ticket It is a method of securing, the very be6t and strongest men in the partv for the Legislfetsre. Through unofficial channels it comes to the GAZETTE that the Committee will endeavor to se cure the consent of Cols. Thomas H, Nelson and W. K. Edwards to the use ot their na es as candidates. If they do consent, a joint canvass will he arranged between them and their Democratic competitors which will make things live!y-

Their committee, to whom was referred the judicial nominations can do no better than endorse Judge Long. He has made an excellent judcial ffi cer and should be retained. If the same committee could unravel the Democratic snarl over the Circuit Judgeship, it would be remembered with thanks.

HENRY J. RBDEMKYER, a St. Louis murderer, is a man who deserves well of his fellows. He is a political economist in his way, and as such is a credit to the race. Men are often philosophers while life is at its best, bat forget all their principles and teachings when their journev'b end is within close view. Mr. Redemeyer is an example to all such men. Let men look at him and learn. He was arraigned the other day on an indictment tor mnrder. He stepped promptly to the front with a business brusqueness and decision which we cannot too highly admire and plead guilty of murder in the first degree. This seemed so strange a proceeding that the judge spoke to him, asking if he understood what he was doing,# "Yes," answered the prisoner. "Under our laws," continued the judge there is but one penalty for murder in first degree, and that is death by hang ing. If you are pleading guilty, hoping to get a life sentence to the penitentiary, undeceive yourself." "I understand the case thoroughly"s aid Redemeyer, "I killed the roan and am ready to suffer for it."

With the promptness which he courted he was taken back to jail, there to be kept until the 23d of August, on which day, between the hours of 6 and 9 a. m. he is to be led out and hanged.

The beautiful part of this thing is his evident desire to save the country the expense. That he did, and there is certainly not a man in the community who will not feel like contributing to a monument fund. ..Let the .hat be passed around. i. s'vir

THE WEATHER AND JUSTICE. The GAZETTE publishes the weather report to-day with considerable satisfaction. It will be observed that the parched and thirsty West is reviving. A polar wave has driven from our midst the torrid temperature that made this region all one vast, swelteiing summer of discontent. When we were in ths agonies of dissolution, one of the most aggravating eatures of the whole business, a thing which made us "hotter" even than the hot weather, was the fact that the

Gi®ETTB.

rich, and dishonest, and thieving, and aristocratic East was luxuriating in balmy breezes, and intimating through its purseproud and subsidized press that we only fancied it was hot. In short they even imagined we were warm aswehad asserted we were oppressed, and that the practice of dropping around dead on the streets was due to the combined effects of our financial heresies and to? free indulgence in beer. It is, therefore, we repeat, gratifying, under the circumstances, to observe that they themselves are now moistening their purple and fine linen with the costly ichor ot their perfumed bodies. A* they mocked us in our jeans and linsey wolsey, sweating our immortal souls away, we now deride them. If it was too much beer and poverty in our cases, it is too much champagne and riches in theirs. We rejoice at the discovery that with all their gold they could not bribe "Young Indications" to give us all the Hell and themselves all the Heaven of weather. We regard this as a triumph of truth and justice won for the world by a free and untrammeled press. The knowledge that the press of the West would rise in its might and make things howl if this thing of warm weather was not, so to 6peak. evened up» and dropped like the gentle rain from Heaven upon every place beneath, has accomplished its purpose. It has been done. The East is reeking, while the West is cooling off, it is not yet comfortable, the Shylocks take heed. On their voted heads the rays of an avenging pun have been brought down. Let them take heed lest the financial avalanche, starting in the West and gathering strength as it slips and slides along,sweeps them into the yawning ocean.

There are a dozen ways that could be suggested t» actually test Anna Stewart's po rs, yet the managers of her sittings actually refuse to allow any such testing, saying, substantially, that they have tested her, and know her to be genuine, and others must accept their word. The majority of our citizens are getting tired of this blot upon our community. The open humbugger), indecency (such as the materialization of naked bodies) and blasphemy, practiced at Anna Stewart's seances, is fairly appalling. And its evil efiect upon the young people of our community, can hardly be overestimated. The recent socalled materialization of Jesus Christ, and the subsequent taking of his photograph, is an open insult to the majority of the citizens of Terre Haute, and would not be permitted in any other place.

HEAT AND THERMOMETERS. "The funny man" of the New York Times is disposed to credit the thermometers with the unparelleled villainy of having caused the late heated term. His discussion of the question develops a dismal phase of fun which, now that the weather has moderated, warrants us in republishing his effusion which is as follows "It is a fact tfiat has teen noted by statisticians and oldest inhabitants for many years that the severity of our summer weather has increased, pari passu, with the spread of thermometers. Before these delusive instruments came into use it is notorious that we have no record of such intense heat as has afflicted us now these many summers. In those temperate times, sunstroke, soda-water, paper collars, and other midsummer nuisances were unknown.' It becomes a question worthy of study whether our recent sufferings are not "largely due to the use of thermometers and the delusion and worry generated by a frequent inspection of the tiny tombstones on which they record the fluctuations of the weather. There can be no doubt that they have exerted an enormous influence over the human race, more especially in crowded cities, where their numbers have beenv„ reqfclessljr# '..multipli

We are conscious that this sounds like an editorial in a Notional paper but the wind is easterly and it can't be helped.

SPIRITUALISM, like Notionalism seeks to materialize something out of nothing, and like Notionalism it has its hundreds of earnest followers who will ultimately find they have been the victims of a delusion. The spiritual papers, the "Banner ot Light" and the "ReligloPhilosophical Journal," have been giving much space to the recent exposure of Mrs. Pickering, an eastern medium, who for the past two years has set spiritualists wild over her remarkable materializations. Eastern spiritualists, however unlike those of Terre Haute, demand honest test seances, and unless the mediums will submit to rigid tests by skeptics as well as spiritualists, they are rejected as frauds. At a seance lately given by Mrs. Pickering, at the residence of a prominent spiritualist, jn Lowell, Massachusetts, the spirit was grabbed by an investigator and held until lights were turned up, and was found to be the medium partially undressed. The honest spiritualist instantly turned Mr. and Mrs. Pickering from •--i dence, nr6t making them re fund the money. Other spiritualists sympathizing with the medium and thinking 6he had not had fair /play, invited her to their residences, and at a subsequent seance, the results were almost similar to those ot the first the spirit was again captured and held, and proved to be Mr9. Pickering. In her seances, when the spirit walked out of the cabinet, the form of the medium could plainly be seen remaining in the cabinet, sometimes ringing a bell and moving exactly as Anna Stewart does jn her materializations here.

Could

r,.

have aggra

vated our discomfort to an almost intolerable degree. Were there no thermometers, we should not know how hot it was, and should be free from much of the fret that iaunediately sets in when we notice tbe mercury passing the ninetieth parallel of latitude on the chart of its navigation. Then with one accord men begin to groan and curse the intolerable heat. They leave their comfortable homes and rush off to dingy attics and meager fare in the country, where thermometers are scarce and weather reports come in but once a week, and delude themselves with the notion that they have found a cool place. They go down and wander on the blazing sands bv the seashore or congregate on the desolate expanse of hotel piazzas, in the vain hope of escaping the effects of the remorseless mercury in the tiny tube.

It is only necessary to note the effect of thermometers on the ordinary citizen in summer, to be convinced that they beget the most deplorable delusions and cause an immense amount of discomfort. No sooner does one's eye catch sight of the slender metallic column crawling among the nineties than it has a wild and unnatural glare, and the forehead is suffused by an unhealthy moisture. The sufferer spends his money for insidious drinks, indulges in absurd excursions, or possibly, if the delusion comes upon him very strong, he even goes to Europe, rushes wildly over the continent in insufferable railroad trains, and lives at hotels where their business is to make travelers miserable. It is a sad thing to note these results of immoderate indulgence in thermometers, when we might pas6 the summer months quietly ana serenely at home, if we were not continually excited and worried by this instrument of torture. It is a serious question whether we are to allow this relentless contrivance, which is plainly in league with the hotel-keepers and the venders of soda water and fermented drinks, to tyranize over us any longer? Perhaps thermometers cannot be wholly exterminated, though they seriously threaten the safety of society, but they may be brought under control. As they seem to be more dangerous in the shade than anywhere else—that is to sav in ex posed door ways and inside of windowframes—they should be kept out of such positions. Doubtless the best plan would be to pack them in ic£. and keep them in the cellar. Then they could do no harm. Somehow we must escape from their blighting influnce. As a famous meteorological poet once remarked: "O, for a lodge in some vast wildness, Some boundless contiguity of shade, Where Reaumer, Centigrade, oc Fahrenheit ,t Ur any sort of fierce thermometer,

THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK In political circles the matter of national importance is the complexion of the Senate after the 4th of next March. No computation can be made which is not indicative of the ascendency of the Democracy. In the estimate which we subjoin no State is counted in the Demo cratic column which is not absolutely certain. While particular pains is taken on this side, equal care has been bestowed In giving to the Republicans every State where they are at all likely to have control of the Legislature. No one can complain that the figures are not based on a liberal allowance to the Republicans in every really doubtful locality. There are 73 Senators.

Total 76 It thus appears Certain, that after the 4th of next March, the Democrats, fo( the first time in iS years, will have majority in the upper House of Con gress. No intelligent observer of politi cal events will, or can, doubt that the present Democratic majority in the Hous will be increased by the election nex' fall. On and after the 4th of next Marcl then, the Democrats will take full am entire control of national legislation.
