THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1879.

WHERE. oh! where, is that balance of power the Notional were supposed to have in the Indiana Legislature?

THE GAZETTE salutes Senator O. P. Davis and congratulates him upon his two votes for Daniel Webster Voorhees.

ON and after the 4th of next March the Democrats will control both branches of Congres*. It is not two months un til that time.

1 JKEMB BUCHANAN, otherwise called "The Plan," received just one vote in the Senate and two in the House—a total of three votes. Jeems is a rising young man.

GENERAL JAMES SHIELDS in the United States Senate from Missouri can well afford to congratulate himself upon his failure to be elected Door-keeper of the House.'.... 11 Tiii if fi iTi riinnft^ll

IT is greAtly to bfo ^figretted that, out of a multitude of the Republicans of Illinois sliou}q\w:ct a worn out ring politician like Logan to the Senate Logan is a fraud of the first water

IF fi will pass a good apportionment bill, economical appropriation bills, provide for thecompletion of tHe^State. House, and amend the road lawsj the Legislature could then adjourn with a consciousness of having done its whole duty

Trtftcurse of America is the polictical blatherskite, who could not do a weeks honest labor to save his soul,and who finds it easier, even in winter weather, to stand on the street corners and snarl at those who are growing wealthy by industiy and economy, Under his teaching the American people ha#e begun to look on success in business as a species of rob bery, and it can not be denied that the tone of American politics in both parties is hostile to every evidence ot prosperity The infection has passed from political to private life, until it really seems thatthe average American would rather spend money to prevent a "competitor 4rom getting rich than make money by .helping a competitor to get richer. Instead of making laws which will help salacious, honest and industrious enterprises on the road to prosperity, we stand ready to pounce upon them and knock $ them on the head as soon as they begin to prosper. This is Communism, and worst sort of Communism. U. sag

VANDERBURG'S village seems to be in -a bad way, even for it, if half what its own veracious Courier says of it fs true That it was "no great shakes of a town no wave," the GAZETTE has always known, though its sympathy for an^ \. afflicted community has hithofto restrain- .• edit from a free expression of opinion, *if But the Courier tells the truth at once so forcibly and so prettily that we cannot rtfrain from copying what it says:

Evansville is* a dead duck in .the amusement ring. She is likewise a dead duck in the business ring. A gap in the southern csrfnection, tyver Which, a. healthy f% man could fling a cal by the tail, has cut her off from all the world as completely as if she had been built 6n Green River

Island, and the sklffis all laid up on ac*4* count of the ice. While the place is dead as to business, the citizen can not enjoy his enforced leisure at the theater, because we have no theater. If a company were to come here, it must go back on its own trail to get away again, which is a ii deadly business error. II it remained here it would starve to death, unless it were a. eg show or would give each one of the audience a prize worth double the l\, price of admission.

A dead duck in a rfcg4 new phrate, but it is perhaps a deaitier 6ort of deadne6S than if it was in a puddle where most of those creatures find burial, at least whenever their decease is chronicled in public prints. There is really no good reason why death might not as well overtake a duck in a ring as any where else, though what it would be dying in a ring we cannot imagine. Ducks are mild mannered, inoffensivef birds with a fondness for water, and would hardly be introduced into a prize ring, vulgarly called a pit, though the allusion to an "amusement ring" plainly indicates that in Evansville this sort of sport is not uncommon.

Pucks are associated in the popular

mind with quacks but there is nothing akin to rings in the practice of heterdox physicians, though if they wee to operate on ducks they would probably keep up their average of deaths. But passing this mystery by, we are truly sorry to learn that public taste in our sister city has so seriously declined that only the leg—itimate drama thrives there. We had hoped for better things in Evansville—for much better things.

SENATOR VOORHEES' ELECTION. The election of Senator Voorhees to be his own successor, not only for the short term which ends next March but for the ensuing term, was a duty which the Democrats of the Legislature could not honorably fail to perform. But that it wa accomplished so readily, on the first ballot in both houses, made it a handsome tribute to the popularity mf our distinguished townsman. Much more than is ordinarily the case Mf. Voorhees was the candidate of the party during the campaign. He was conspicuously and alone before the people as the man whom tne Democrats proposed electing to the Senate in the event of their carrying the Legislature. It was so understood all over the State. He made a thorough and exhaustive canvass ot the State, and it is well remembered that his meetings were more largely attended and evoked more enthusiasm than those of any other person, on either 6ide, who spoke during the cam* paign. There can be no sort of doubt that the splendid victory achieved by the Democracy last October was largely due to his efforts. Having fairly won the senatorial spurs he has a right to wear them, and the Legislators who formally, gave him the office yesterday, merely registered the will of the people who sent them there instructed to do so. Among the thousands over this State and in other states who rejoice in his elevation to the Senate, none are more sincere, none more enthusiastic, than his townspeople of all parties, who have known him longest and most intimately and like him best Senator Voorhees is emphatically a believer in what. Col. Ingersoll sneeringly calls '^"miid patriotism," and hoids up to ridicule as unworthy the devotion of liberal men like himself. The Tall Sycamore of the Wabash, figuratively speaking, with spreading branches shelters as far as possible from winter's winds and the fierce summer's sun the soil in which his roots are grounded. He believes ih'his home and his home be lieveg in him. He returns in devotion to the interests of the State the regard its people feel for him. With him- in the Senate every Indianian knows that he has a friendin power who will use every honorable effort to serve him in any worthy project. Men from Vigo county, and perhaps trom every other county in the State, who ever had any business in

Washington, know how he has gone out of his way to serve them. Hundred of instances exist in this district dating back through his long and honorable service in Congress, It is this ever ready zeal in caring for the interests of his constituents which has made for him enthusiastic friends even the ranks of his political oppon ents, and which makes his election to the Senate now a source of rejoicing not only in but out of his party.

The warmth of the general regard tor him was'well expressed by an old farmer, a member of the House whose name we havef5v' forgotten, in the *K few remarks with which he prefaced his vote for him yesterday. He said in substance, and with a great deal of feeling glowing in his honest and weather-beaten old face, that nothing could have iocluced him at his time 01 life to leave his farm, engage in a canvass and come to Indianapolis to serve a session in the Legislature but the desire to assist with his vote in electing his and the people's friend, D. W. Voor hees, to the Senate.

His extraordinary gifts as a public speaker can not fail to make him a con 6picious figure in the Senate during the long career now open before him. Rooted and grounded in the Democratic faith as expounded by Jefferson, there need be no fear on the part of-the Democracy of Indiana that in Senator Voorhees they will have a faithful and brilliant exponent of their views.

OBITUARY. .4

Mr. John Failing died, Sunday morning January 19, 1870 aged 42 years. The painters turned out in full force to attend his funeral and marched to the cemetery in a body. At their return a committee was appointed to draft :esolu tions of respect and sympathy to his wife and family. The deceased was born at Sei.eca Falj New York, and was at the time of his death 42 years of age. He came to Terre Halite in '66. In '70 he removed to Rockville bat returned in '75 since which time he has continued to reside here with his family. He was a man of strict integrity, unassuming and temperate in his habits, a kind and indulgent husband and father. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his loss. The committee respectfully tender, in behalf of his fellow workmen, their heart-felt sympathies, with a copy of this paper.
