MAYOR HAVENS deserves to be complimented for his efforts in behalf of the park at the public square. The labor of tramps is being used to improve the place.

THE GAZETTE suggests to the Pence Pandemonium and Morgan Morgue confreres that it is about time they answered in a more genteel manner than by threats the incisive cuts that Cincinnatus has been giving them. With one sr, perhaps, two trifling exceptions, no one has unsheathed his sword in defense of the Terre Haute brand of spooks.

ROCKVILLE people are becoming righteously indignant at the infringements oi the game law. A writer to the Tribune adds poetry to pathos in expressing himself on the subject of the wanton destruction, contrary to law, ot poor Bob White. The Illinois farmers are determined, they say, to enforce their law, which, beside affording ample protection to the game, forbids any from being shipped out of the state or shot by non-residents.

THERE are few now so blind to appearances as to deny that business this all will bn unu:ually ac'.ive. Beside the ncreased demand for all classes of goods and that other incentive to activity—advancing prices—there is a disposition an an ability to pay cash. The most moody viewer of the situation must put on a -little cheerfulness unless lie is absol itely and perversely determined to believe that resumption would ruin the country without reference to all the many causes of an improved condition. That meichant is wise who provides not only a large lot and firstclass stock of goods for the fall season, but who places himself in a position to do a large business. 1S79 can be made a golden year.

THE prospect of a repetition of the experience of last ear in regard to the Yellow Fever is very gloomy in the light of the latest news from Memphisj If it were looked upon as a judgment, as 6uc'n things used to be, many of us (mostly those who are not (afflicted) would rise to a great height of moral resignation and say, "Let the Lord's wil be done but when it is remembered that in the opinions of the best authorities upon the subject, the calamity is due to insufficient sanitary precautions, there is not even the chance to make a display of our Christian faith and resignation, and we may be excused if we lose our patience and sny, •'confound' such municipal governments as cannot keep a city in condition to compare favorably with a pig sty. But we would not be thought lacking in sympathy for the poor, plague stricken people of Memphis. Their city is bankrupt and in a deplorable condition, reeking with garbage and all manner of filth the privy vaults remain uncleaned and emit the seeds of disease and death.

The doom of Sodom was not so terrible a6 that of Memphis unless a lesson is learned by the experience of the past and present years. She would better have been twice burned to the ground, like Chicago, than have been smitten as she has by the scourge.

New Orleans profited by her experience of last year and, though in a very bad condition financially, made a timely effort to combat the scourge, and it is gratifying to know that her effort has been effectual, for there has not, been so far a single authenticated case of the fever in that city. $

VERA CRUZ.

Mexico is perennially on the eve of a revolution. Unlike the discontents of the ancient Scottish clans or the later terrible revolution of the French, Mexican troubles are usually so imbecile in character as to really deserye little attention. The present revolution is

nicely described by the New York World, which says: While they are discussing at Washingirigton and elsewhere the propriety of opening negotiations with President Diaz with an eye to making a commercial treaty with Mexico, the signs of the times in Mexico are that anybody ,^ho has business with President Diaz may as well wait till he arrives in Washington or New York to transact it. From Tepic on the western to Alvarado and Tabasco on the eastern coast of the Mexican Republic come uproars and rumors of gathering revolution. All is apparently quiet at the capital excepting in the columns of the newspapers, but Vera Cruz haB just witnessed scenes which prognosticate 11 .t only a new civil conflict in Mexico but a civil conflict more than commonly sanguinary and dreadful 1 General Luis Teran, Governor of Vera Cruz, and in his time one ot the most thoroughpaced professional revolutionists of the tierra caliente, on the 24th of June received a message from the Alcalde of Alvarado, a town famous for its capture once upon a time by a single dashing lieutenant of the American navy, to the effect that an artillery lieutenant, Don Francisco Navarro, on board of the Mexican war steamer Libertad, had taken possession of her, in the absence of the captain and other officers at the theatre in the town, and steamed off across the bar to make a revolution. Upon this General Teran instantly ordered the arrest of several persons in Vera Cruz, including two or three officers of the garrison, on the ground, as he telegraphed the next day to the capital, that he had reason to suspect them of complicity in the elopement of the man-of-war from Alvarado. These persons, to the number of twelve or fifteen, were marched into the quarters of the Twenty-third battallion, in the fortifications at Vera Cruz, at some time between midnight on the 24th and daybreak on the 25^ Jnne. Precisely what happened afterwards remains to be ascertained. But of these persons thus arrested and incarcerated nine were the next evening removed as corpses in ammunition wagons from the fortress and buried pell-mell in a ditch. General Teran telegraphed to the War Department that "between 3 and 4 o'clock on the morning of the 25th the prisoners Vicente Capmany, Ramon Albert, Antonio Ituarte, Francisco Cueto Lorenzo Portilly, Jaime Rodriguez and Luis Alva, together with two officers, Juan Caro and Antonio Ruvalcaba, attacked the guard suddenly," and added that "in the disorder and confusion that followed all the prisoners and the two officers mentioned, as well as one soldier of the garrison, were killed." The friends of the slain openly and passionately deny this in the papers of the capi tol, and declare that the prisoners and the two officers mentioned were deliberately shot to death in the presence and by the order of Teran, with circumstances of the most revolting brutality. So impartial a journal as the French Trait d' Union calls attention to the very peculiar circumstance that all the prisonners jind officers implicated should have been slain in what the General commanding is pleased to represent as a sort of pell-mell contest between unarmed men and the garrison of a fortress, and it is unquestionable that all the appearance8 are sadly against the Governor of Vera

Cruz. Meanwhile the blood of the country is boiling dangerously. What has become of the Libertad nobody seems to know. In Yucatan the Indians are out threatening the civilized region, and generally speaking the moment seems to be decidedly unpropitious in Mexico for the tranquil negotiation of treaties of commerce and navigation.

A WELL KNOWN HARRISON COUNTY FARMER DYING FROM THE BITE OF A

COPPERHEAD.

Elizabethtown, Ind., July 22.—William Highfill, a well known farmer of this (Harrison) county, residing two miles from this town, was fatally poisoned yesterday evening by the bite of a copperhead snake. Mr. Highfill was engaged in thrashing wheat near hij barn, during which he had occasion to ascend to the barn loft. One of his boots being too tight for comfort, he had cut apiece of the leather from the instep, thus leaving the ins'.ep of his foot exposed. As he stepped into the loft he left a stinging sensation 0*1 the instep of his left foot at the opening in his boot, and looking down saw the tail of a snake disappearing through a crack in the side of a barn. He paid but little attention to the bite and soon returned to his work. Half an hour later the wound began to pain severely, ami the left foot, leg, side and arm commenced swelling rapidly. Witnin an hour they had swollen to a terrifying de gree, and the pain had increased to ab solute torture. He was brought to a physician in this town, suffering so intensely that a hypodermic injection of morphine was administered, but without affording any relief. The entire left side of Mr. Highfill's body had turned to a livid color, and was covered with bright spots. His shrieks of agony were heart-rending. At this writing he is reported dying, being insensible and raving like a maniac. The physicians say he can survive but a few hours. Mr. High fill is a man highly-esteemed, and the calamity that has overtaken him causes great sympathy among his friends.

Hon. 0. W. Voorhees Makes Speech at the Terre Haute House

THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

OUR SENATOR.

In Response to a Serenade and Enthusiastic Calls.

A Review of the Action of Congress.

From Monday's Dally.

On Saturday night a serenade was tendered to Senator D. W. Voorhees, who is stopping at the Terie Haute House. He came out of the west entrance and made a splendid little speech as follows:

REMARKS OF SENATOR VOORHEES. MY FELLOW-CITIZENS: I need not try to express to you the sensation of gratitude that fills my heart at this time for the kind reception that attends m}' return home. I need not try to do it, because I could not do it. After seven months of almost continuous absence I return to my home, "The dearest spot of eartU to me,"

I have lived many years among you, in this delightful town. You have known me better than anybody else can or will. Here I expect to remain while I live, and when I die I expect to sleep close by the borders of this city. Applause. 1

While I have been laboring as your representative in the halls of public legislation the great purpose that has upheld me has been to do nothing that would cause regret or a sense of disappointment to come to the heart of one of my friends in the city of Terre Haute, to do nothing derogatory to the character of my neighbors and friends, or to the great state which has honored me in my present position. And I come back tonight with a heart that

GOES OUT IX KINDNESS

to you, one and all. There is not a human being in this city to whom I would not do a kindness, at this moment, as cheerfully as I would take a cup of cold water when thirsty. Such is my feeling toward the people of Terre Haute. They have been good to me. We have had our acrimonious passages, we have had our political contests, but we have not kept them alive to embitter our course toward each other after the occasion for them has passed away. I stand here tonight in no party spirit at all, I have stood in the Senate of the United States as your representative, in no party spirit. I trust I have held myself responsible to the people of Indiana of all parties I have tried fairly and honestly to represent the people, without respect to party names, party lines of party ties. I have labored—whether successfully or not—it has been my aim and purpose—to better the

CONDITION OF THE PEOPLE

of the country, irrespective of political creed or party faith. I may be pairdoned tor saying that I have owed and acknowl edged and expressed in my heart a stronger allegiance to the laboring, producing, business classes of the country than to any other class. Whether I have done all that I could have done, or desired to have done, or not, I have at least tried. My efforts have been in the right direction. In the midst ot hard times, depression, business failures, want of labor, I have aimed in all that I have done to belter the condition of my fellow men, I am not here to-night to enter into a speech. I am here merely to thank you for the compliment of this occasion". But a word or two may not be inappropriate.

We have had along EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS— one that has attracted much attention before the country and the world and there have been many inquiries why this extra session has taken place, and what has been done or attempted to be done. Many unkind and harsh things have been said, attributing motives and purposes to the now dominant party in both halls of legislation. Gentlemen, I can appeal to my own conscience when I say that every purpose of the extra session of Congress has been on the side of popular liberty, free government ar.d the rights of the people. Let us look for a moment in

A PASSING REVIEW.

We might as well look and see if there has been any "back-down," as there has been much "talk on that subject. There had crept into the laws of this country, enactments whereby the executive could without restraint or hinderance use the army of the United States to control the elections of this countrv. Not that it has been done to any large extent— to no extent in our portion of the country, to some extent in other portions, not generally—but there were embodied in the laws of the country measures by which any bold, bad, usurping executive could, at his own will and pleasure, control and dominate the people when they came to exercise their God-given right to govern themselves by

Jli-f *v/'~ ,T"'

'rS?M

as far as possible, liberty to the people and then appropriate the people's money Very well we succeeded tolerably well. Under the laws of the United States now it is forbidden to the President to sur-. round the polls with the aripj, under the pretence of keeping peacfe. Before we got a dollar of your money the oresident of the United States had to sign a law which says he shall not on the Pretext of keeping peace at the polls have the privilege of surrounding the ballot box with bayonets. I dont think there was much back-down in that Applause], and I think that is a just and sound principle of government. If it is not, then I have read the history of our fathers wrong I have read the teachings of those great patriots of the revolution backwards. The army and free elections never went together never can go together. From tke days of Jefferson down to the present hour, the wisest fathers of American liberty have been those who warned the people against the dangers of standing armies and the introduction of the element of force in and around the ballot box for where force prevails

FREEDOM CAN NOT EXIST. Where the army is used in connection with elections, free elections can not take place, and liberty dies, free government bccomes a thing of the past, not worth fighting for.

At this point a gentleman in the audience interrupted the speaker by asking "Will you permit a question."

l'Yes"

was the reply. "Do you deny that patriotism is connected with the army?" A crazy man! He wants to know in connection with the remarks that I am making whether I deny that patriotism is connected with the army as if that had anything to do with it. The army obeys he did not know that. And a bad man as President can make the army obey, just as well as a good one. The army has nothing to do except what it is ordered to do. If it is ordered to surround 'he ballot box and take the polls, it has got to do it. It is not a question of the patriotism of the soldier. I think I have demonstrated who is the friend of the soldiers of this country, and how much hypocritical, false pretense there is in the mouths of certain leading nen. I have done that, I think, to the satisfaction of some at least who hear me.

The army despises this pretext they curse their hearts the leaders of the Republican party at Washington who want to use them to crush free elections. I have talked with patriotic soldiers, I have talked with patriotic officers, who scorn and loathe the political leaders who would thus use them as the tools of oppression. There never was a soldier worthy of the name who wanted to surround the ballot-box with the bayonet in order to deprive his fellow-citizens of the right of free elections. This is my answer to the question whether there is patriotism in the armv or not. [Applause.] A voice,. "How about the Lincoln hirelings?" The speaker repeatedly invited the owner of the voice to come forward, desiring to know his name, but no answer was returned.]

Now, my fellow-citizens, a word more We have accomplished something else We told the President of the United States and his cabinet and surroundings that he might have

$600,000

can—Said

A FREE BALLOT. 'V•'''•[

We said in connection with appropriation bills that we would eliminate from Americau law such legislation as that, as far as possible. At once we were criticised. It was said that we had no right to do it in connection with the appropriations. Gentlemen, from the foundation of free government these two things have gone together, wherever popular liberty was asserted, that is to say, first before voting the people's money. secure to the people the guarantees of free government not tax the people for their own oppression not vote away the people's money to kind them with unjust laws but first guarantee to them free government, then take their money to uphold that government not take the people's money by oppression, to be used at the whim or pleasure or caprice of an executive to tyrannize over the people, to oppress them, and overthrow free elections. There never was a more righteous proposition than that of this extra session of Congress^first to secure,

with which

to pay United States marshals if he would" agree that he would not use any of the money to hire those marshals to surround the polls and drive citizens away or arrest them, without wariant ar.d without oath, as was done in ten thousand cases in the state of New York. Well, he would not take the money unless he had the right to use it—(to pay pimps and spies in the guise of marshals to supervise you to watch you while you vote —and we told him then that he could pay his marshals in any way that he cculd, we would not give him a dollar for that purpose, and we did not. Some people complained that this would clog the Federal courts that the marshals will not be paid, and that the United States courts over at Inpianapolis and elsewhere will have to shut up. That will not be the result, but if it should the people would not suffer much thereby. We have our courts in which to administer justice. The people of the United States could get along better if there was not a" federal court on earth, than they do now. Federal courts are instruments of oppression, at best. They drag men over here to Indiannpolis to reeover the value of a cow that a train of cars has run over.. They drag men from the "pocket district" of Indiana, together with forty or fifty witnesses, to litigate a small matter. I would rather lose every federal court in the United States—throw the people back on their neighborhood courts, their circuit courts, tor justice, than to allow one ballot box on this free soil to be surrounded by the hordes of spies and pimps called marshals.

Again, my friends, we established a jury system in the United States courts whereby fair juries for fair trials might be drawn in every state of the union. We abolished the test oath. We accomplished that, so that a man in the United States court shall be tried by a

jury

fairly drawn. Why, Senator Carpenter—Matt. Carpenter, as he is called familiarly—one of the greatest legal minds in the Senate of the United States or in the states of the union, a Republi

on the floor of the Senate

within the last three weeks that there NEVER HAD BEEN ANY TRIALS bv jury in the United States courts. He said there were trials by the marshal and the clerk who made up th« jury. A srstem has been devised, the particulars of which I need not go into, whereby the power of the officers of the law to corruptly, falsely or with prejudice select a jury has been done away with.

These are some of the things we have accomplished by our extra session. The army will not surround the polls. The marshalls will not go to the polls with their clubs to beat down citizens. The juries in the United States court will be fairly drawn. And I suppose I might close, as to what we have accomplished, by saying that in addition to these great blessings, we have established free quinine. (Applause and laughter.] Free elections, fair juries and free quinine will do pretty well for the Wabash. Laughter.] We put quinine on the free list, so that the poor pale-faced tnan, woman or child who goes to the drug store with a prescription does not pay an increased price to the manufacturer to make him rich, while you are dying and poor both,

My friends, 1 haye been betrayed into

saying more tton I had expected. I have only to say in closing, as I did in opening, that I O0me back to you in kindness I come bast to you in no party pirit. 1 must say, however, that have come, as I haye come before, as have fought my battles before, to meet my enemies, if any I have, in the gate. I ask nobody to meet them. I meet thein myself. I figbt my battles, whether they rise out of the revival of old, state,

EXPLOITED CALUMNFSS,

or the issues of the present. I never shirk from them. I love peace. I remember when a boy my father alway» impressed upon me the word? of St. Paul, "Follow peace with all mens-as far as in ye lieth."* And there was always a twang of the old gentleman's voic# and a snap of the eye on the latter part of the sentence, "as far as in ye lieth." [Applause and laughter.] I propose- to do that. I desire nothing but the l!ve and kindness of my fellow-man. At the same time, as a public man, standing: in a public place, representing public issues, I know that I have blows to receive, and I never will shelter my head by bowing it to avoid their force. I have been among you for years. 1 have seen the clouds lower down dark over my head. I have seen them break away and the sun burst in I have had adversity and I have had prosperity I have met it here in your presence and in the fear of God I say to-night, that as to motives, I have nothing to regret. As to falling short of what I desire to do, there is much I would improve if I could but as to the purpose of my heart, as your public servant, for many years in the House of Representatives, and now in the Senate of the United States, my motives are satisfactory to ray conscience. [Applause.] And I expect to pursue them to the end. But oh, you laboring men, remember one thing, the power of the federal government,, backed up by the power of the national banks, will always hunt a man lik« me. I hare fought them in their strongholds on the money question and I tell you this battle against monopoly, against oppression, will go on until either this country becomes a monied oligarchy on the one hand, or the people on the other triumph in their rights and the government becomes actually and absolutely free. I intend, my friends, while I remain in the Senate, to.sttuggle against a financial system that

FILTERS- Y.OO'R CURRENCY

RF,

through seventeen or eighteen hundred national banks, and in filtering it through the banks makes you pay 25 or 30 per cent, to the men who stand as toll gatherers, as filterers and sifters of this money, for the privilege of getting it into your hands. If this government gives the money of this countrv its credit, let it give the money directly to the people. If you tell me it can not devise a system let me ask you whether it will take any more wisdom than that which devised tl.e national bank system, where by the few have become rich and the many impoverished than to devise a system whereby you.the people, can get the currency of the government without these middlemen? Without this intermediate agency? Do not make any mistake and suppose this issue is dead. It will never die until this great oligarchy, beside which the money power that Jackson throttled, was a mere infant in the cradle by the side of A giant, Vhalh perish. It has got to perish, or the libei ties of the people and their right andi prosperity will perish under it. [Applause].

I repeat my thanks to you. my friends. As to my course, I shall, in the future, as in the past, steer close to the hearthstones of the laboring people close to the interests of the toiling masses, without much regard for the drones in the hive. I thank you, my fellow citizens, and will detain you no longer.

THE INTBLIGENT JURYMAN. From thsKew York Graphic, Counsel—Do you know anything of this case?

No. Ever read of it? No. Ever read anything? No. What! never? No. [Applause]. Have you formed any opinion as to this case?
