THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1879.

HEREAFTER discusions of the New York Custom House nominations will be held in the Senate with open doors.

IT was WM. E. Chandler, the New Hampshire statesman, who lost those cipher dispatches on Ben Butler's desk.

THE Teller Committee has discovered that a great many colored Democrat were bulldozed, or attempts were made to bulldoze them, by fanatical colored Republicans.

CONCERNING A QUOTATION. To the Editor of the GAZKTTE:

In a recent issue of the Exp e6s I find an editorial headed "Fickle Gold Cheap Money Needed," which commences thus

Professor Jevons, in "Money and Mechanism of Exchange," 6hows from statistics read before the London Statistical society, in 1865, that the value of gold, between 1789 and 1839, fell in the ratio of 100 to 54,or by 46 per cent. From 1S06 to 1849 it rose again in the extraordinary ratio, of 100 to 245, or^bv 145 'per cent., "rendering government annuities and all fixed payments almost two and a-half times as valuable as they were in 1809, prostrating and paralizing industries in the same ratio that debts and fixed incomes became rfiore valuable, and gold increased in value and purchasing power.

Knowing that Professor Jevons, in common with other economic writers of respectability and eminence, holds the opinion that the basis of all currency1 should be coin, and that an inconvertible paper issue is an unmitigated curse to the people who tolerate it, I was a little surprised to find him attributing the prostration and paralyzation of industries to the increase in the value of gold. Upon turning to my edition of the work, page 325, I find the text reads as follows "Rendering Government annuities and all fixed payments almost two and a half times at valuable as they were in 1809. Since 1849 the value of gold has again fallen to the extent of at least 20 per cent."' The sentence commencing with "prostrating" and ending with "power" somehow was omitted in my edition.

Now I do not want to be understood as accusingthe editor of the Express Of garbling the language of the author to make out his case, And am willing to attribute it to an er»or of the compositor or proof reader irt embracing the interpolated sentence referred to in quotation marks. The omission of the paragraph immedi1"fttelyfollowing, however, is a more im portant matter. The whole tendency of the editorial article is to show that industrial distress is produced by an advance in the purchasing power cf gold, y'•"* .:A11 the Ills which the body politic Suffers from ase caused by "dear money." Now, Professor Jevons asserts that from 1849 to 1875,the value of gold declined at least 20 per cent. The great financial panic, the precursor of all our subsequent (disasters, occurred in 1873,

that

Professor is correct in assuming that th purchasing power of gold is declining, or was up -to 1875,

our

able editor is wrong

in his inference, and if the latter is right the Professor is wrong. Either horn of the dilemma may he £aken, and in either cafe the editor is at variance with the authority he .quoted. .slyNo one claims that the precious metals are an absolute and invariable standard of value. Our standand measures of length cannot be claimed as perfect and immutable. Variations ia temperature affect the length of the surveyor's chain And of the htats standard yard. The mean level of the ocean, referred to by our able editor, is not the same on our Eastern and on our Western coast the configuration of our coast produces higher tides at some points than at others and the action of the moon varies the height of the tides at different seasons. To use the language of another: "AH things here below are in a state of mutation. The very figure of the earth is changing and an arc of the meridian will not in the cycles of futurity be of precisely the same length that it was when measured by the French Academicians." No two thermometers record the temperature through the entire rtnge precisely alike, as those probably know who have compared weather not|« during our late cold snap.

But if. as it acknowledged, the precious metals are not an infallible standard of value, they are the best that is known, the beet that butnan ingenuity after a search of several thousand years has been able to discover, and it would.be as irrational to abandon the use of the compass because of the change of the magnetic meridian, as to abandon the use of gold and silver on account of an alnjost inappreciable variation in their purchasing power.

THE COURAGE THAT CONQUERS. Opce and awhile even nothougn fortunately not nearly so often as in the two or three pteceeding years, the telegraphic columns of the daily press chronicle acts of suicide which are attributed to the hard times. The pain and pinch of the financial troubles, from which we are now happily emerging, with the consequent decrease in the demand for labor, is not felt most sharply in homes which have been accustomed luxurious expenseBankruptcy usually leaver to such a sufficient remainder of resources for something more than tke mere necessaries of life. But when a diminution of production follows a long and demoralizing day of high wages, it seldom finds families subsisting upon weekly wages prepared for the emergency. It must be admitted that our producing classes are far from being wisely economical and prudent in their habits of life. Too much is spent in superfluities of diet, raiment and domicile. A father, coming all begrimed from his toil, likes to see his children as well dressed as those of his employer. If he denies himself nothing, and spends a great deal for what only does him a great deal of harm, he is equally liberal, while his money lasts, in providing indulgences for his family. He is proud of hi6 girls and boys, and foolishly weak in his incapacity to deny them anything they may desire. Among his outside associates he maintains, at no little cost his reputation of being a good fell6w. All is sunshine with him, and the rainy day about which economists are constantly prating seems to hirn among the impossibilities, or at least the improbabilities of his life. Alas! all his prosperity is at the mercy of men over whose actions he has no control who, if they pay lavishly for his labor to-day, may not want it to-morrow who are themselves wasting upon a greater scale their greater resources and who may to-morrow tail for a hundred thousand, shut up the mill, pilt out the fires, stop the machinery, pause in building or in mining, and leave the operative to exist as ha can. The little mouths are to fill the little forms are to be clothed the house-rent js to be paid, to say nothing of bakers' and butchers' bills already outstanding and altogether the outlook is dismal and desperate. Some men, under such sable circumstances, betake themselves to the pawn-bioker's shop or the bar-room habits of shiftlessness and self-indul-gence and laziness are formed and fostered there i6 trouble at home, there is BO rational comfort abroad. and in this way many a proud, Democratic American, who theoretically considers himself the equal of prince and of millionaire, is forced, in mortification of spirit, to admit that he is exceedingly like a pauper. If self respect be small he may go on drinking, and leave his family to be kept alive by the Ladies Aid Society or the Township Trustee. If the unfortunate is of a proud, sensitive na* ture, he is in danger of hanging or shooting himself. The announcements suicide lor this cause are unhappily not in frequent.

It would, of course, be superfluous for us to point out the utter selfishness of the man. if a man such a person can be called, who leaves those least capable of sustaining the burden to bear it unaided and alone. A husband and father who abandoned his family in a burning house, when his exertions might rescue jt, would be universally denounced aa a brutal paltroon and the head of a household who. makes way with himself to escape the spectacle of a cold hearth and an exhausted larder, is a character no more praiseworthy. A little pluck goes .a great way in this world, and we should be sorry to think that our countrymen of any class are deficient in this saving quality of character. The poorest man here is rich in comparison with the poorest man in any other country. We know nothing of want in its most frightful aspects anything like a famine is here impossible a case of death bv involuntary starvation is almost as much so. It isn't the stomach that suffers in America—it is the proud heart and the impatient soul. We succumb not ^to absolute want, but to fret and worry, to mortified personal pride and wounded selfesteem.

The European, pauper

boasts of his looped and windowed raggedness, his empty pot and his capitalized diseases—the American with whom thiaes are not going well thinks of nothing so much as of keeping up appearances ana ot hiding his impoverishment from the eyes of the world.

It seems to us that this is a quality of character which should be of great service in what we are Accustomed to call "hard times." It is Jnot to be aure, a

desirable trait if it expends its force lb simple 6ham and subterfuge, but it may be usefully exercised making the best ot a bad matter, which is the only possible way "of bettering it. We have arrived at a point where our universal dexterity and power of accommoda. tion. may mitigate the most pressing evils, and, in good time, remedy them altogether. If in society at large there is no reason for despair, we ought to remember that social are but an aggregation of individual fortunes, and that every unit must share in the returning prosperity 01 the whole. There can he nothing fatal, nothing permanent, for it is changing already, even in the most lamentable prostration of trade and manufactures. A giant country may be in need of refreshment, but it is a giant still. "It might have been worse" is a capital consolation for every body to carry about with him. And it might have been. We were not smitten by pestilence, and even if we were we are getting bravely over it now. No blight has wasted our numerable acres. No invasion of a cruel enemy has reduced our cities to ashes OJ decimated our population. As a people we have not known and do not know what great general public suffering is. As inviduals there is no trouble at hand which we may not resolutely conform and vanquish and it is for the individual that we have been writing. The resusciation of the country has already begun, and the outlook for the future was never brighter. O

SOME PECULIAR HALLUCIN- ,, ATIONS. Whatever discoveries have been msde in the region of self-love, there remain many unexplored territories there. So wrote the mocking cynic whom Byron calls "Nature's Sternest painter, but the best and experience forever approves the saying. The wonderful ingenuity with which women will often suggest, without, perhaps, directly affirming tha* uninvited attentions are paid to them by the other sex, and the laboriou art with which commonplace men talk familiarly or slightingly of their superiors,"51 are among every-day and transparent illus» 'rations of self-love which are familiar to all, and so are worth no special study. These are the "discoveries" that "have been made." It is the'"unexplored territories" that promise to the investigator most amusement and profit. Readers of the daily press can not have forgotten a curious case in point. A young girl professed that she was persecuted by a certain mysterious suitor who was ever and anon bursting upon her with threats and protestations. This dark being had never been seen by any one else but, half-lover, half bravo, he continually turned up in the .path, jif his divinity, as she passed through the frtfods} or visited the glimpses of the moon after nightfall, to draw water at the well. One da} the divinity came in bleeding, her weird admirer, for no reason in par-, ticular, having assaulted her, as 6he said, vv with' /:|1-|a carving-knife In the end, detectives were set at work unknown to the girl, and the most thorough investigation was made. It then became clear that that the whole tale-extending, and adhered to, through years, and embellished with letters, love tokens, mystic warnings, and midnight imprecations—was a pure fabrication. Thi6 imaginative.and morbid young lady —tired, no doubt, of not having a real lover—determined to evolve one out of the depths of her own inner consciousness, and the product was a story that kept a whole rural neighborhood in hot water for many months before its falsitv was detected.

A later and more remarkable case happened in England. In the town of Oldham lived one John Butler, who carried on the unromantic business of pawnbroker. Perhaps it was the lack of romance in his calling that led Mr. Butler into the picturesque scrape we are about to recount. For some yeare he had been in the habit, poor man, of receiving threatening letters trom anonymous sourcq^. Unknown foes lurked for him, it would appear, at every 6tep. Now for one reason, now for another, the swift spilling of his blood would alone appease the wrath of his hidden enemies. One day tie came home wounded—like the lover-haunted maiden above described. The stiletto of the assassin had been at work, and only by a hair's breadth missed the life of the quarry. After this, missives of d&p and deadly portent were more numerous than ever. Butler stalked majestically abroad, the object of universal attention and condolence. A man who, so to say, slept on a volcano, who moved and had his being perpetually on the ragged edge ot things, could not fail to be an object of admiring curiosity. But even the, wild joys of such a life were insufficient or rather, perhaps, they palled with repetition* Hence, there followed, by way of climax, what may fitly be described as a stroke of genius. He- received by post a key, with a note running as follows: "The key to the mystery open it and you will know your enemy. Yours, Nobody." A week after a box, wrapped in brown pa. per, was found attached by a string to the handle of Mr. Butler's door. This

E TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

was brought int3 the house, and Butier on his return home, proceeded, in the presence of several friends, to examine it^ He [observed that the box explained the key, and that the two, no doubt, fitted ea&h other, The lock easily slipped, but -he cover remained firm. Two or three tried, but failed to open it. When Mr Butler took hold, and, placing the box carefully with the lid from him, gave a smart pull, A tremendous explosion folt lowed, which threw everybody down, but happily did no other mischiet. Butler was found lying solemnly on his back contemplating the ceiling. The box was in fee a small "infernal machine," and, as the reader will have anticipated, the engineer was literally "hoist with his own petard.' The police came in and searched the house, when they found wire, catgut and paper concealed in Butler's room, exactly corresponding to what was also found in the box. They likewise found drafts' in Butler's handwriting, of further menacing epistles addressed to himself. These facts were kept secret from Butler for a space, and his astounding hypocrisy was exemplified in a letter written by him to a friend between the times of his detection and accusation. In this letter he say6: "We have not as vet any clue to the mystery but, whatever the result of the inquiry raay be, I have placed my whole trust and confidence in the Lord, whr alone is able to deliver me. and whose mercv endureth forever

As Cassio says, this is a more exquisite song than the other. It certainly presents an attractive theme for psychological investigation. Whether Butler's remarkable proceedings were inspired by pure vanity expressed in an insatiable craving for notoriety, or whether he sought to draw custom for his pawnbrokers shop, is open to doubt. The waggish comedians who play on each other practical jokes for the sake of getting gratuitous advertising, have method in their madness, and so, perhaps, had Butler. In an ca6e, his conduct affords a new and singular phase of egotism and freakishness of human nature, not untinged with melancholy, indeed, but as certainly not without humor and instructiveness.

"MATRIMONIAL TROUBLE." It is all very fine when young people are courting, having the pleasant tete-a-tetes, attending balls, parties, places of amusement, and at last popping the question with a slight pressure of the hand, meeting of the lips, and the day appointed to be made one. Solid comforts and pleasure continue until a family of children are brought into the world, then their is constant anxiety for their health and comfort, and at any time when one of those bright-eyed, rosvcheeked children is troubled with Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Difficult breathing, or anv Croupy Symptoms, a bottle of HALE'S HONEY OF HOREHOUND AND TAR is immediately procured a few doses administered, the disease annihilated, and then everything again moves along smoothly. This article is now used by almost every family and gives universal satisfaction. Sold by all druggists at 50 cents and $1 per bottle, and at the depot, Criitenton's, 7 Sixth avenue, New York City.

A RECEIVER FOR THE CITY OF ,. MEMPHIS. Memphis, January 2S.-^-This afternoon a bill was filed in the United States court by John W. Garrett & Sons, holders of Memphis boids. The object of the bill is to secure the appointment of a receiver for the city in conformity with the law passed by the Tenft^ssee Legislature in 1877,

aRd

to provide for the pay

ST. LOUIS.

CONDITION OF THE RtVER.

St. Louis, Jan. 29.—But little ice is floating past the city to-day. The river is opeM to the mouth ci the Missouri and possibly some miles up that stream, but iiow far is not now known. The Mississippi is still closed at Alton. Nothing definite is known as to the condition of the river below here, but the supposition is that all the gorges are gone, and the channel open to the backwater above Cairo. No futther damage is reported in this vicinity.

A Dangerous Torpor.

Torpor or inactivity of the kidneys Is seriously

daogerouB

to those organs, since it

is the precedent of diseases which destroy their substance and endanger life. This sluggishness may be overcome by stimulating tneui, not excessively, but moderately, an effect produced by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a general invlgoraut and alterative, possessing diuretic properties of no common order. The impetus which this admirable medicine gives to their evacuattve function counteracts any tendency to congestion which may exist in their tissues. Both thev and their associate organ the bladder, are'invigorated as well as gently stimulated by the Bltte*e, which exert a kindred influence upon ttte stomach, liver and bowels, and by strengthening the system, enables it to wittostand malarial epidemics, to which when exposed it might otherwise snecumb.

SOLE RECEIVER.

New York, Jan. 29.—Wm.J. Best has been appointed sole receiver of the firm of Belden & Co.' who will also be the depository of the books

FOUND DEAD.

A VISITOR WAKDERS OFF AND DIES IN THE WOODS. The following, from the Hot -Springs Arkansas, Daily Sentinel, refers to a man whose brother is engaged in coopering in this city: -1

Late Saturday evening, as two boys, named Johnny Brantley, and Coleman Cozart, were returning from a hunting excursion they discovered the dead body of a man, lying about three miles southwest of the city. Sunday morning Jut»tice W. A. Kirk was notified of the fact. He summoned a jury of inquest and pro* ceeded to the spot where he found the body of the man on the west side of the mountain, lying across a huge rock with his head pointing downward. The body was dressed in a neat suit of black, and in a high stat^of preservation. It was the opinion of those present that the man had been dead about five weeks. An empty pocket-book and a silk handkerchief were found on the body. The hair oi the deceased was burned off, as also was part of the pants on the body.

Mr. George Sadler was sworn. He stated that he recognized the body as that of Mr. Thomas Downey, of "Lincoin, Illinois. He recognized" the pock-et-book. Mr. Downey has been in the Valley about fifteen months, and has been under the treatment of several physicians. About eight mpnths previous to the time his dead body was discovered, he appeared, at times, to be insane, at other times, perfectly sane.

About two months ago he left Mrs. Finn's boarding house, where he was under treatment, and was never seen until his dead body was discovered on last Satarday. About one month after his disappearance one Sparks, a friend of the deceased, arrived from Illinois and instituted seaich for the missing man. The search proved futile. He then offered twenty-five dollars reward for the discovery of his friend, dead or alive, and returned lo Illinois.

The jury of inquest returned a verdict to the effect that "Thomas Downey came to his death from unknown causes."

We will state that the body was permitted to li4, unprotected, where it was discovered, until this morning, when it was brought to the city.

We learn that Mr. Sadler telegraphed to the friends of the deceased as to what disposition to make of the corpse.
