Twlff card cf Patrick Shannon in refer ence to the appointment of E. S. Erney, as chief deputy of the County Clerk's office, in effect states that no one but an active Republican, who was lately chairman of the Republican County Committee, could be found to fill the place. No Democrat was competent. If this is so the office should be investigated

CON-

A RlVER IMPROVEMENT VENTION.

On the 15th clay ofOctober, at Quincy, 111., will be held a.convention, the object of which is to devise' measures'for the improvement of the rivers of the West. Delegates from the various Boards of Trade and leading citizens in the chief cities along these water courses are expected to be in attendance. Many prominent members of each House of Congress, says the circular halve pledged themselves to attend the convention, to hear from the delegates of the various States, Territories, Citie6, and Boards of Trade themselves, the interests to be benefited thereby, and an epitome of the improvements such interests have a right to demand. The area of the valleys through which these rivers run aggregate two million* of aquare miles of the most productive land in the world, and the navigable lepgth of these rivers and their tributaries is at least

Democrats of Terre Haute and VigO County, object to the appointmeht of E. S. Erney, t'o the chief deputyship of the County Clerk's office. If the reason signed by Patrick Shannon for this appointment is correct, then the Democratic party is insolvent,and ought to go into tankruptcy. The

Gazette

crate and who happen to have some power, that in the whole Democratic party of Vigo county there is no man capable of filling the office of Deputy (Jounty Clerk, so that it was necessary to appoint the ex-chairman of the Republican county committee. There cn be but one opinion on this matter. Th« enemies of the party are laughing at democracy and all the friends of that grand old party are hanging their heads in shame* Public opinion on the part of fair-minded men who are not blinded by prejudice is well stated in the Terre Haute Journal of last Saturday, a paper edited with Ability and which has the courage of its convictions. It .• says, and we commend what it., says to tyie attention of, Democrats. I

.The Republicans, after getting control of the Express, made their boast that now they would be "able to carry the county" and it looks as if they could ma*e good their words—looks like they could carry the county even before the election. They have already carried the deputy county clerk. The chairman ot the Republican executive committee is comfortably installed in one of the county offices. It is true he is there by appointment, but there he is nevertheless—appointed by a Democratic county clerk. The question, is there no one in the Democratic ranks Svho would accept the position if tendered him? presses for answer. If 60, wfiy not appoint him? Why appoint a man who has labeled persistently tor the Republican party—-cussed for it, bet his money on it? Why appoint ah enemy when there are friends who are able to perform the duties of the position, and would be gratified t® receive it? Why appoint a man who, when the time comes, will Contribute to the Republican instead of the'Democratic campaign fund? It must be that the Democracy has given up its ancient doctrine, "To the victors belong the spoils." The Republican party has made a very good start towards carrying the Democracy as well as the county Wkt an onerous load it will have when i^lKouldera both!

chip of the oid blpfck, to boas1 of the possession of another man's letter. We" do not believe there are a dozen per sons in Terre Haute, even among the lowest and most degraded, who, coming in any way into possession of a letter ad dressed to another person, would not send it to its rightful owner without read 'ngit. This man Terry in some way gained possession of a letter addressed by the junior proprietor of the Gazette tp Mr. J. P. Jones. There is nothing in the letter which the Gazatte itself might not publish. Terry says he himself did not.steal the letter, but for that we only have his word. He is the receiver of it, and the ^caiver is as bad as or rather worse thaif the thief. Not having the sense to understand or the deconcy to appreciate the fact that jt is dis-, reputable to read other people's- letters he boasts ot his shame, and parades tfyat which debars him from the society of Respectable people It is, of course, impost sible tor the

Gazette

to continue

a controversy with him. What satisfaction it is to prove him unworthy the confidence of, or the association with hones' people, when he comes to the front, blow* a trumpet, and invites the public to watch an exhibition, the salient point of which is his demonstration that he is the receiver}# not the pwioiner, of a letter addressed to another man? Denouticed for thif by Mr. Jones in tertas tif scorn and insult and characterized the creatur^ ^JKgrick Shanfidtv reffige^ jjn a suit fot ftrqVoke, and thl-eatened to publish other letters belonging to jjlr JonCs, adding to the boasted irtf^hiy of being possessed of propwty the virtues of attempting &tackmailt, and| of telling a falseftood, f6r he.had.no Such letters. AH wt can h^ive to d* with him is to warn the public against leaving any1 letters around where he might gain pos-1 session of them, and to caution Postmaster Filbeck to use especial care in putting letters in the Ledger's box not to let the mail of any other persons get. therein. This kind

Terry, both owned an edited by Patrick Shannon, were criticised mildly but truly. It was asserted that this tellow Terry killed the old Journal by blackmailing Democratic 'candidates, and bleeding them for its support. Considering that this shameless chapter in its career

is a matter of no

toriety and can t»e verified by at leasf twenty and possibly forty of it, victims the poor tribute paid to virtue an fair dealing by a denial ®f a well under stood fact is not sufficient, piling as it does the Oasa of falsehood on the Pelion of peculation. That the Ledger, missbe. gotten offspring of the ill-starred Journal, should deny the prostitution of the Journal's ..columns to what Kearney would call "btoodsuckerous purposes" is not unnatural, but the well attested fact remains undisturbed. Besides the Journal at its worst was better that the Ledger at its best, and the surviving partner the defunct firm whose abler and more decent member is in a Kentucky jail, cannot bring to his defense that weight of character which inspires respect and carrics convictien. T|ie Journal, under Terry and Eli ones^ bled and ljlaakmailed Democratic candidates Hi''the -a campaign of

of a mistake frequently occurs bat usually amounts to nothing for the instant any person discovers that he has a letter not bis qwn.be returns it to the of* fice. Some persona do not, one of whom, according to his own boast, is this Terry. Other persons who do not are fit associates of his. Some get into trouble about it. A case in point occurred Saturday.

We copy the account of the affair from the Express of Saturday. It says*

aEugene

Keefe was arrested yesterday

for complicity in the swindling operation by which MarthaJ. Brown, Charles Boyer and Charles Irwin got pos»es*ion of a letter which did not belong to them, and procured money on a draft found therein. The lftter and draft were intended for a lady temporarily residing in the city, whose name is Martha J. Brown. This and other letters fell into the hands of the negro woman who bears the same name. Acting on the advice of Boyer and Irwin,she took the draft to the Prairie City Bank, where she was honestly identified by a well-known colored man as Martha J. Brown. She procured the money and used fivi! dollars of the sum. Boyer and Irwin then went to Keefe and told him the circu stances asking him to person ate the sender of the draft and so tfCare the woman into giving up the money Keeie carried out his instructions, with satisfactory results, and the three men divided the
