WK publish to-:1ay apart of the St Louis Post-Dispatch's extracts from Gen. McDonald's book, soon to be published, giving a history of the Whiskey King, of which he was a member, and which robbed the government of several millions of dollars a few years ago. It has never been believed by the public "That no guilty man escaped," but on the other hand everything that was' known has pointed rather to the indication that no man was punished except those whom it was absolutely necessary to sacrifice to save the remainder of the King. Babcock, Grant's private secretary, had a narrow escape which he owed to McDonald's refusal to speak. Grant did not escape suspicion, and whoever reads the testimony now made public unswayed by prejudice, can scarcely escape the conviction that when Gcant said "Let uo guilty man escape" he was pronouncing his own sentence, if there had only been a power to enforce it.

TIIE announcement that Senator Voor hees will speak atthe Wigwam to-morrow night will fill that place full. He never fails to draw a large crowd and never disappoints his auditors by making a speech undeserving their closest attention.

Gordon-Harrington.

The GAZETTE is in receipt of a letter from Major Gordon provoked by the recent allusion to him in these columns He is disposed to deny the soft impeachment. A very great deal was published in the GAZETTE at the time of the difficulty, taken from its Indianapolis contemporaries and our readers, if they will consult their memories, will find that hey have a tolerable understanding of the situation. But Major Gordon gives his version of the unpleasantness in hi^ letter which we publish herewith:

LNDIAXAPOMS, August 8,1880.

To tho Editor of the Gazette. I was not a little amused by your reference to mo and Mr. Harrington, in your article relating to the retirmeut of MessrsPorter and Landers. Our difficulty never was of a sanguinary hue. I never was challenged to cross the state line, or to go anywhere else to discuss any matter with him. I received a letter from Mr. Harrington asking me to retract a certain nonvmous fling which he adopted asap

pliqable to himsslf. I answered inform ing him that it teas intended for him, and that I believed it to be true and promised to investigate the matter and, if I found it not to be true, to retract it. His note came by the hand of his oriice-boy,— mine went by a student in my office Mine precluded further correspondence until my investigations were made and I received no further letter from him.

In good faith I thoroughly investiga ted the matter and, when I had dona so, informed the public that all I had said anonymous Jy of Mr. Harrington was true and that at was far short of all that I might have said wilii equal truth touching him.

Of course, I have no right to use any influence to prevent you from choosing and adhearing to your affinity in per sonal and political pureness and I do not wish to withhold you from supporting Mr Harrington for Governor,

I am- Sir. your obedient servant J. W.' Gordon/ To the Ed. of Terre Haute Evening

Garfield-Colfax-Ames.

One of the humorous features of this campaign is the curious effect Garfield's candidacy is having in waking up several people whom the country had suposed were contentedly dead. For ten year Schuyler Colfax has been a quiet and peaceful political corpse. He has apparently known that he was dead and while he can hardly be said to have enjoyed the burial he has acquised in the arrangements so decently and quietly as almost endear the corpsc to many men It will be remembered that what killed him was his accepting credit mobilier stock from Oakes Ames while he was Vice President aud then lying about it

Now the curious thing about this whole business is that as soon as Garfield (who was implicated in the Credit Mo biler transactions precisely as Colfax was) was nominated for President it seemed to send a galvanic shock through the corpse and the ponderous marble jaws of the tomb wherein he was quietly inurned opened to let him out. Colfax has taken heart of grace from the nomin" ation of Garfield and can't for the life of him see why of the two Dromios in the Credit Mobiler tragedy of errors fish should be made of oue and of the other fowl. I

Ho has, therefore, written a letter in tiorsing Garfield was in attendance at Garfield's political-religious revival meeting at Chautauqua, aud generally is frisking around much the same as Tanner did after his forty day's fast.

Another curious feature of Garfield's candidacy is noticeable in the conduct of the three sons of the late lamented Oakcs Ames. After a ruffianly career as a Con gressional purchaser of his fellow Con gressmen's votes by placing his stocks "where they would do the most good," he had the decency after the exposure, to go off and die. Everybody has thought that the greatest kindness that could be shown his memory was to let him alone. But no. Now that his sons have seen their father's business partner nominated for President, they think it a good time to appeal to the people for a vindication 'of his namo. They have written a column article, the burden of which is tH8t their father did not bribe Congressmen and that if he did it it was all right that his connection with Credit Mobilier waa tgatirely innocent and that he was an honest man.

It is to say thf^asrt of it unfortunate that Mr. Garfield's candidacy should suggest to all the old political hulks who have been kicked out of public life the pro prjety of attempting their own vindication. Are the sons of the lat§ Mr. Tweed quite sure that this present, forgiving time is not precisely the occasion for them to come to the front and prove that "the old boss" was really a Christian statesman and not the ditty thief he ha3 boen believed to have been? Why sliou&d not Tweed be vindicated and Babcook, Belknap, Robeson and the rest

Mr. Phillips and the Express. It is a source of reget to the:GAZETTE that its esteemed morning contemporary has «nch a hard time defending Mr. David Phillips, its present candidate for Councilman, against its own caustic criti-cis-m of him when he was a candidate for the same office a few years ago The GAZETTE has said nothing against him on its own account and does not propose to. We propose, to draw on the files of the Express for our ammunition and it may have free access to the ^GAZETTE'S files for anything it pleases in'the same line. It is nonsense for our contemporary to grasp at an immaterial typegraphical error, aud then by extending the quotation pretend that what was given was incorrect. It is equally foolish to grasp at a Ti'ong date given to one quotation, when it knows that it did use the language ascribed to it and the exact *latc is immaterial. That its Republican correspondents carae to the rescue of its editorial managers at that time and also pitched into Mr. Phillips does not seem to make the case aay easier for Mr. P.

The GAZETTE wilf continue its explore tions into the files of the Express., And it does this without malice. It is aothing to the GAZETTE that Mr. Phillips had a fight, though the Express did tMnk was a\* ful, and would now if he was a Democratic candidate, and to us it something in his favor that having got to it he whipped his man. The worst thing the GAZETTE knows about Mr. Phillips at the present writing is his candidacy on the Republican ticket. Hurrah for Hancock and English!

GEN. JOHN MCDONALD'S BOOK, copious extracts from which have been printed in the GAZETTE, prove.Babcock and Giant to have been sharers in the spoils of theSt. Lotus whiskey ring. The way which he shielded the thieves proved this at the time. It is something however to know it for sure. It causes no shock to the GAZETTE, for it has believed for years that Grant was the most corrupt man that ever held high office in this country and that his low conception of the presi dency, its duties and responsibilities his consorting with and sustaining thieves his greedy acceptance of bribes in the shape of presents and the multitudious scandals of his administration lowered the standard of official honesty throughout the whole land. The country has had too much of Grant. I

The Sahimessy-Phillips Mill For $100 a Side.

Phillius Winner in One Bound.

A Great Cry and Little WooL

[Below we reproduce from the Daily Express, of October 7,1889 a' detailed report of the Shannessy-Phillips prize fight. This will be interesting reading in view of Mr. Phillips' presnt candidancy on the Democratic ticket for the City Council, from the Second Ward

The steamer Young America left her landing at tlie foot oi Walnut street yes terday-monv-.g at five minutes past nine o'clock, having waited tour hours beyond the appointed time of departure. On board her were Philliips and Sliannessy and a party of 70 or 80 men including a few boys earnestly djscusssng the proposed fistic encounter and speculating as to the results. Sliannessy was evidently the favorite. The Young American steamer gaily down the placid Wabash for* a distance of about 18 miles and cam& to land oa the Illinois side i'n Clark county just bey6Uu tie state line at 11:30o'clock

The excursionists moved back from the river into the country about a mile and a half and tome to a halt in .a beautiful open field on a farm whose owner was then lying very ill and supposed to be dying. Our reporter called at the house for the purpose of learning the proprietor's name, but finding such grief within he forcbore to ask any questions.

The ring was pitched without delay but unfortunately one of the men who assisted in holding" the stakes in position to be driven was very badly cut in the forehead by the mallet flying off the handle. When the ring was ready a vexatious tielay was occasioned by the discovery that there were five spikes in each of Phillips' shoes. To this Shannessey's seconds objected, as the revised rules of '67 provide that there shall be but two spikes in each shoe. A file was procured and a long time consumed in filing off the redundant spikes and bringing them down to the regulation number.

At this point it is proper to intro'ducc the men. lijjvc Phillips is 28 years of age, weighs 153 pounds' is 5 feet 1% inches in height, and was born in Jersey City. This is his first appearance in the P. .11., seconded by J. Heath and Ed Jones.

Tom Sliannessy was born in New York City, is 24 years of age, 5 feet inches in height and weighs 134 pounds. Seconded by Joe- Concourcn and James Kerigan, of New York City, the latter having come to Terre Haute to perform this service for his friend.

At precisely live minutes after one o'clock Sliannessy shied his castor into the ring and was very soon followed by Phillips. Sliannessy won the choice of corners, thereby placing his antagonist's face to the sun. Nat Langhan was chosen as referee. Captain Ban* as umpire for Sliannessy. Tbm Long was appointed time keeper.

At one o'clock and fifteen minutes time was called and the men toed the scratch for the first and only 'round. Both men eyed each other very closely, evidently waiting for an opening. Phillips shot out his right "duke" and caught Sliannessy on the short ribs, Shannessy returning with his left "mauler." Some sparring ensued, when Phillips caught Sliannessy under the left "peeper" with a terrific blow, completely knocking him out of time and ending the fight in one round. Time, one minute and forty seconds. The colors of Shannessy were a green silk handkerchief those of Phillips a red, white and blue handkerchief.

Among those present from other cities were Billy Dunn and H. J. Moynihan, of Chicago Dick Hollywood and J. P. Price, of Indianapolis and Tom Roberts ami Frank Smith, of St. Louis.

From the Daily Express May 7,1872. We hope that minor matters will be merged and that the whole weight of the party will be brought out to elect Parker Milllgan to the Council for the Second ward and thus prevent the disgrace which will attach to the ward by the election of his opponent, Dave Phillips.

From the Daily Express of April 29,1872. Dave Philips the candidate for coun cilman in the Second Ward, was the .con quering hero in the Philips-Shannessy, prize fight which took place in I860.

Shannessv, it will be remembered, had his breath knocked out of him on 4he first round, and failed to come to time.

Afterwards Mr. Phiiips climbed up the horny path hich leads to political fance from the same initial point as John Morrisey.

BFrom the Express-sf May 2, 1872. Mr. Philips, the prize fighting candidate of tiie Democrats of the Second ward deserves to go Upon the finance committee when he is ejected to. the Council.

Wonderful Popularity of the Renowned Medicine.,.

The Greatest Curative Success of /the Age-A Voice from the People.

No medicine introduced to the public has ever met with the success accorded to Hop Bitters. It stands today the best known curative article in the world. Its marvelous renown is not due to the advertising it has received. It is famous by reason of its inherent virtues. It does ail tha is claimed for it. It is the most poweif 1, speedy and effective agent known for the building up of debilitated systems The following witnesses are offered to prove this:

This is to let the people know that I, Anna Maria Krider, wife of Tobias Krider, am now past seventy-four years of age. My health lias been very bad for

flhat It Did For An Old

Coshocton Station, N. Y., Dec.

28,1878.

Gents—A number of people had been using your Bitters here, and with marked effect. In fact, one case, a lady of over seventy years, had been sick for years, and for the past ten years I have known her she has not been able to be around half the time. About six months ago she got so feeble she was helpless. Her old remedies jOr physicians, being of no a van, I sent to Deposit, forty-five miles, and got a bottle of Hop Bitters. It had such a very beneficial effect on her that one bottle improved her so she was able to dress herself and walk about the house. When she had taken the second bottle she was able to take care of her awn room and walk out to her neighbor's, and has improved all the time since. My wife and children also have derived great benefit from their use.

W. B. HATHAWAY, Agt. U. S. Ex. Co.

An Enthusiastic Endorsement. Gorham, N. II., July 14,1870. Gents—Whoever you are, I don't know but I thank the Lord and feel grateful to you to know that in this world of adulterated medicines there is one compound that proves and does all it advertises to do, and more. Four years ago I had a slight shock of palsy, which unnerved me to such an extent that the least excitement would make me shake like the ague. Last May I was induced to try Hop Bitters. I used one bottle, but did not see any change another did so change my nerves that they are now as steady as they ever were. It used to take both hands to write, but now my good right hand writes this. Now, if you continue to manufacture as honest and good an article as you do, you will accumulate an honest fortune, and confer the greatest blessing on youi' tellow-men that was ever conferred on mankind.

some years past. I was troubled with weakness, bad cough, dyspepsia, great debility and constipation of the bowels. I was so miserable I could hardly eat anything. I heard of Hop Bitters and was resolved to try them. I have only used three bottles, and I feel wonderful good, well and strong again. My bowels are regular, my appetite good, and cough all gone. I feel so well that I think it my duty to let the people know, as so many knew how bad I was, what the medicine has done for me, so they can cure themselves with it.

W A Lovely ChapJet. A A late fashion report says: Nothing call be prettier than a chaplet of hop vines in blossom. A recent medical review says: Nothing can be better as a general renovator of the h'eaith than plenty of Hop Bitters. They aid in all the operations of nature toning up the weak stomach,: assisting the food to become properly assimilated, and promoting healthy action in all the organs. The dictates of fashion, as well as the laws of health, alike favor a right application of hops.
