Post Xo. 51 Department of lllluoi«.

From Tuesday's Daily.

Last evening the first Post in this city of the Crand Army ot the Republic was installed with appropriate ceremouies by Gen. E. VV. Chamberlain, of Chicago, Chief Mustering officer of the department, and member ot the National Ceuncil of Administration, who arrtved here on yesterday morning to perform the duties, i'he pofct starts on its existence with a very flattering evidence that it will be strong and permanent.

The membership of course, is all of old soldiers and sailors who have served their country and hold evidence of an honorable discharge. A good sign of the favor with wh ch it meets was shown by the assembly ot over fifty men last nieht, for first muster, and this was done without any advertising or effort being made to induce men to join in fact, many were not aware of where, or when the meeting was to be held.

Fifty-three men were mustered in last night, all excellent citizens, including many of our most popular prominent business men. After mustering, an election for officer* was held as follows:

Commander—Capt. John B. Hagar. Senior Vice Commander—Col. Wm. McLean.

Junior Vice Commander—H. Miller. Officer of the Day—Capt. VV. H. Armstrong.

Officer of the Guard—George Hayward. Adjutant—Jay Cummings.

Quartermaster—George Farrington. Surgeon—Dr. J. C. Thompson. Chaplain—G. Ambrose. Sergeant-Major—J. Voorhees.

M. Sergeant—G. M. Barbour. The ceremonial work of the Post, as performed by Gen. Chamberlain, was beautiful, and he was highly complimented for his impressive manner.

The cost of membership is only $1.00 per year, and can be paid in any amount, no matter how small, and this makes it very agreeable to those who join, as many cannot well afford expensive fees. The benefits are many, and can best be understood and appreciated by those who join the honorable brotherhood.

Gen. Chamberlain remains here today, going over to Brazil, to install a Post there which promises a large membership. From Brazil he returns to thib city, and will this evening be present at the meeting of the Post to give them further and complete instructions in the duties required, and then leaves for his home in Chicago on the 10 o'clock train.

The Post will meet this evening at Orientail Hall, corner of Third and Main streets and all members are requested to be present, and bring along any old soldier or sailor, all of whom are cordially invited to join the Post without waiting for a special invitation.

TAKING A WALK. From the LaFayette Journal. Young Master Wheeler, ton of Mrs. Wheeler, who lives near Ninth, on Ferry, took a walk Saturday evening. He is but two and a half ears old. When first noticed as a lost child, John B. Wagner took him ju6t about the time that a locomotive was about to grind him to death at the corner of Main and Fifth streets. The younster had a half eaten orange. Many pe*6ons called and wondered how the poor mother mu6t feel. Officer Harding came along soon and took charge of the little fellow and told him to go home. At this the boy started up Main street, with the officer following up, and when the corner of Sixth was reached, the wanderer made for the peanut stand and the man filled a paper sack and the boy went straight back to Wagner's and began to devour his peanuts just as though his mother's heart was not breaking. Hard ing again put him on the track, and thir time he went up Fifth Street as far as North, and then it was quite evident he did not know the way heme, and the of ficer took him to the police headquarters, where the mother soon came to ttnd her "dftr!inrr do)'" eating peanuts and having a nice time with the police.

THE COW PEN. From Wednesday's Daily.

Yesterday afternoon Officer Isaac Overpeck, at the request of the owner of the property, ousted the white prostitutes living in that notorious den of infamy on Tenth street, just east of the Union depot. It is called the

•-.

j-t,f

wCow

Pen" to

distinguish it from that other better known but even less nasty hole on First street, known as the "Bull Pen." In the "Cow Pen" whites and blacks live promiscously together. There are three or four houses arranged something after the manner of a hollow square and they arc inhabited by people vile beyond all description or comparison.

The blacks still remain in these quarters. The goods were thrown out about one o'clock and were not removed until after night. The white head prostitute cursed and swore in a manner that would have abashed the army in Flanders.

A COMPLIMENT TO DENTISTS. Of all professional men, dentistsshonLl be the nea.est,and asa class they are. Those who require a grateful, refreshing, delight ful aroma, while working about the organ of smell, should wet their hands in Dr Price's Floral Riches. Its fragrance is not »nly as pleasaat as can be imagined, but decidedly stimulating.

A BIG DITCHING CONTRACT State Treasurer Fleming told a Sentinel reporter yesterday that the contract :'or digging the ditch on the prairie west if Fort Wayne was let. on Saturday last,

Jesse R. Straughan & Co., for $85,000. This ia about the largest contract of the kind ever let in the state. The land to drained embraces about 14,000 acres, ind is principally owned by Hugh McJullocl: and the heirs of the late James S. Sweetser —[Indianapolis Sentinel,

THE fifteen hundred new parasol? ro» eived on consignment at the Star Noion House, to be sold out singly at jbbers prices are meeting with great ,vor on account of the exceedingly low rices asked for them, for tfiej are fully per cent, below regular prices.

AMUSEMENTS.

JOSEPH COOK.

Of one of the recent volumes by Joseph Cook, who is to lecture in this city next Monday evening, Prof. A. P. Peabodyof Harvard University, says, in the Independent:

Joseph Cook 18 a phenomenon to be accounted tor. No other American orator has done what he has done, or anything like it, and, prior to the experiment, no voice would have tieen bold enough to predict its success.

We reviewed Mr. Cook's "Lectures on Biology" with unqualified praise. In the present volume we find tokens of the 6atre genius, the same intensity of feeling the same lightning flashes of impassioned eloquence, the same viselike hold on the rapt attention and absorbing interest of his hearers and readers. We are sure that are unbiased by the change of subject for, though we dissent from some of the dogmas which the author recognizes in passing, there is hardly orle of his consecutive trains of thought in which we arc not in harmony with him, or one of his skirmishes in which our sympathies are not wholly on his side.

THE FT. WAYNE MASONIC TEMPLE. The Fort Wayne Masonic Temple will be begun shortly, it having been found at the last meeting of the Association, that the affairs are in good shape: Subscriptions of 6tock have been liberally given. Only $1,500 is now waiting to complete the $10,000 to be raised in this manner, and there is no doubt this will very soon be taken.

THE DENNY INVESTIGATION. The legislative commission, composed of Messrs. Works, Sleeth and Huthsteiner, which has been investigating the Attorney General's office during the administration of Judge J. C. Denny, finished its labors yesterday, -finding him in default to the amount of $30,000. The report will be submitted to the Governor to-day.

THE Banner charges Post Master Filbeck with voting for Mr. Havens. On the other hand Mr. F. claims to have voted the open ticket, straight 'Republican and says he can prove it.

NEXT Monday evening is the date for the lecture by the Rev. Joseph -Cook.

DECORATION DAY.

•MKKE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

A LETTER FROM A MINER WHO HAS BEEN THREATENED. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:

As you have been publishing letters from Gay coantv giving your readers information concerning the coal miners' strike and incidents connected therewith, I thought best to send you a copy of a notice nerved on me, which, if you see fit to publish, the readers of the Journal will be able to form a more correct idea of the general character of the men who are actively engaged in continuing the strike, and who say to the people of this county, that they will not work themselves nor a low anybody else to do so. "NOTICE.

You gold-tooth of we will give you six days to leave this county. If not, you will have to look out for this. By order of

MANY."

Six-foot coffin. ID explanation, I will say of myself that I have been a miner for fourteen years that I came to this county from Indianapolis in January last that I worked for the Jackson Mining Company for two months, and then for the Watson Mining Company up to the time of the strike, April 1.

My sympathies always go with the laboring men, for the reason that 1 am one of them but in this case I did not wish to take sides with either party, but thought I would pursue a quiet, noncommittal course, taking sides with neither. I, of course, came out with the others, and remained idle for ten days. In the meantime the miners or a portion of them, had held their meeting and appointed delegates to confer with the operator, and we were all looking for a solutation of the troubles in a very few days. After waiting ten days we were told that these delegates, appointed by the miners to perform a certain duty were not attending to it at all that they were ordering great secrecy, saying they had the operators right where they wanted them, and if they (the operators) wanted anything of them they must come tj 1 hem.

Great Scctt! Who ever heard of a corr mittee being appointed for a certain purpose—that of calling upon and conferring with certain parties—rearing back upon their dignity, and saying, "Let them come and see us?" This action of the committee caused dissatisfaction, and, as my circumstances would not admit of my lying idle for any length of time, I began to investigate matters and things for myself, with a view of determing as to whether I would remain here or seek work at something else and in other parts. Even my position at this time, before I had declared my purposes, caused an enmity against me, and I was tben and there instructed as to what I should say and how to act, and the consequences of a refusal to act as dictated laid down to me in plain terms. Thus you 6ee the position. We were to give our sanction to what a few saw fit to do, without even questioning the right or wrong. With me this would not do, and being convinced there was no justice in the strikers' cause, that no good could possibly come from a continuance of it, and that a majority of the miners were not in sympathy with it, I concluded to go to work, and have done so. Hence the notice to leave the county in six days or suffer the consequences.

This is said to be a free country, and a man has a right to do as he pleases. Well, I concede to these men the right to determine for themselves as to whether they wiil work or not, but I shall not allow them to decide for me. If this is a fi ee country, it certainly ought to be to me, a native born. 1 claim, however, nothing more than I am willing to concede toothers a right to work where, when, and for whom I please, without let or hinderance. I said in the 6tart that this notice would enable your readers to judjje of the general character of the men actively engaged in continuing the strike. Perhaps 1 should add the exception to all rules, and say there are some very worthy men among them, and in doing so, I will sav for the benefit of those worthy few,' that there is another rule very applicable to their case, which says that a man is to be judged bv the company he keeps. S. R. EMMONS.

Knigh'.sville, May 12.

WE notice in a recent issue of the St. Louis papers, the marriage of Miss Lollie, daughter of Mrs. S. E. Moore, formerly of this city, to George Watson, of the Excelsior Manufacturing Company, of St. Louis. It was but a short time since Miss Lollie favored a Terre Haute audience with her sinking. The announcement of her marriage was quite a surprise to all her friends. We, as well as the rest of Miss Lollie's admirers here, extend our hearty congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Watson. May peace and happiness and perfect joy

Through all this life their steps attend And with ach shadow on life's sky May the purest sunlight blend.

ON Saturday afternoon a small boy named Sughrue, about twelve or thir teen years old, living on Spruce street, jumped on to a switch engine, and in getting off, fell under the fire box .and had his leg broken, and sustained other in juries. He narrowly escaped meeting a violent and horrible "death. The practice which a great many 6mall boys and particularly those living in the vicinity of the switching yard6, have of climing nn the engines and trains, is very bad, and they run a onstaat risk of maiming or or death.

AFTER very many years service in he police department of the city government, ex-Deputy Marshal Vandever is now a private citizen. We say what is known of all men, and mention it in no spirit of disparagement to othefs, when we declare that the city never had a better policeman. He has a faculty for detective work which is instinctive. He is plentifully endowed with nerve and never yet "flinched in the presence of danger. He has been a terror to. law breakers for years.

THEY do say His Honor, Mayor Havens, has ruined his chances for re-elec-tion by that latin sentence he quoted in his salutatory to the council last night. No man who wears a boiled shirt and

knows

latin need expect to run lor of­

COLORED CONFERENCE.

Solving the Race Problem by Resolution.

Migration the Favorite Theme.

Ben Butler Invited to Make Good His Offer—Report of the Committee on Education.

Intolerant Treatment of a Vicksburg Delegate—A Talk by Col. Bob Harlan.

From Monday's Daily.

Messrs. J. H. Walker and Simon Daniels are at Nashville, attending the National colored conference. J. H. Walker writes that he is on a committee of education and labor and is kept so busy that he hasn't time to write The GAZETTE as he promised, and sends copies of Nashville papers containing reports.

We clip the following from an account of the discussion on the migration subject:

H. V. Robinson, of Arkansas, said he came here from the convention at Vicksburg. What they did at Vicksburg would have a tranquilizing influence. But what good have you done here today? While you may have done some good, you have done a great deal of harm. One says that the colored people are self-supporting and can go when and where they please. Another says they are able to take care of and protect themselves. The next thing is a resolution asking Congress to donate $500,000 for the purpose of sending people to Kansas from this country When the time comes that we cannot live in this country, I am as much in favor of going to Kansas as anybody eUe. But let us be men let us be like white men and see the impossibility of taking 4,000,000 of people away and setting them suddenly down in a strange country.

A young delegate— Who paid you to come here?" Mr. Robinson—I suppose the young man is just out of school, and don't suppose he ever hoed cotton in his life. [Applause.]

The President—The gentleman's time has expired. Here the greatest uproar'whs raised on the floor and in the galleries, and expressions of thfi most radical intolerance were vented. Members of the conference rose up excitedly, while the "gods of the galleries," as it were, joined in the demonstration against Robinson, and attempted to cry him down, and a determined disposition to crush him was manifested.)

Hon. J. M, Rainey rose to a point of order, saying ".There is so much noise in this hall that we cannot hear what is being said. 1 want to add that I think we ought to permit a difference of opinion to be expressed on BO important and vital a question in which we are so deep ly interested. Any cause that cannot be discussed in both phases of its character is no cause worthy of deliberation. I favor migration, but I want to proceed intelligently."

When the President had by continued fforts finally secured order, a delegate said, "I ask fair play for the gentleman."

Mr. Robinson—Fair play need not be asked for me I will see that I have fair play. How can you expect white men to be tolerant to you when you show that you have no tolerance for each othef"? If you are right your views will bear the iight, amd if wrong they will not if wrong, they will not stand the test argument. I never went to school in my life. There are graduates of universities who ought to be able to respond to me, provided they have the fucts on their side. I say that this resolution is calcu lated to deceive every ignorant man in Mississippi. You memorialize Congress to give $500,000 to assist the freed men who have, or can, go to Kansas. You ask of men whom you have been all day abusing to extend charity to you, and you humble and debase yourselves in doing it. When ou talk about poor, starving black people, I am with them all the time, with what he earns, get* by law. begs or steals, he gets plenty and I don't say this with any disrespect to colored men. The country is full of this cry of starvation. I have got five hundred acres in Mississippi I mingle with them all the time, and they don't starve.

A delegate—Well, why do they want to migrate? Mr. Robinson-—Because it i6 on account of the oppression of the white people, but I am opposed to encouraging wholesale migration, and having the poor colored man strewn along the banks of the Mississippi, there to die.

W. H. Council, of Alabama, 6aid he would go where his people went, and would abide the action of the convention.

David Wilso-a began alluding to the Republican tendencies of Washington City.

Dr. Gillem, of Arkansas—Let me remind the gentlemen that Washington City has already gone Democratic. lir. WiUon—Yes, and the Southern states have gone Democratic you have gone Democratic.

OUR d*AIMS.

We cliim that there is greater certainty and uniformity the production of good bread, biscuits, etc.. in the use of Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, and that the articles made with it are more wholesome and digestible than if made with any other kiad. Teat it by the most reliable and truthful teat —!n the oven.

THE Post Master here has already sold four thousand dollars worth of four per cent United States certificates, is now out and waiting for another package which he expects in few days.
