H0METIIING TO BLUSH ABOUT. In 1 lie course of an editorial article intended to prove that Grant ought to be placed on the retired list of the army with pay, the Indianapolis Jourrud propounds the following inquiry, which it seems to regard as a poser: "What American docs not blush to know that ex-President Monroe was compelled to accept the oflice of a justice of the peace and died the dependent of his son-in-law?"

This is one of those interrogatories which the questioner evidently thinks admits of but one answer. "VVe beg to change its form and inquire, "Does any American blush to know that ex-Preai-dtnt Monroe accepted the humble but honorable office of a justicc of the peace pud passed his last days under the personal and pecuniary care of his own daughter and her husband? And if they do why do they blush There never has been any nonsense about our presidential office and there is no sense in introducing any now. Claims of birth count for nothing in choosing a President. Plain common people, not one whit better than thousands of their fellow citizens, struggle for the nomination and get it. They get the place by a popular vote just as a justice of the peace gets his office. And once elected he takes an oath of oflice, fills an hundred thousand offices more or less, draws the very best official salary in the country and lives rent lree in a very desirable family mansion. During four years he has "a fat take." But there is neither philosophy nor sense in the deduction that because a man has had the best thing going for four years lie should always thereafter be a charge on the people. He was no better than his fellows when he was made President and he is no better than they when he ceases to fill that oflice. No divinity hedges him about which makes it sacriligious for him to •earn his living. Every reputable calling for which he is qualified is open to him. Labor in this country is not dishonorable and the ex-President who goes to work and earns a living for himself and family has a loftier dignity, a truer pride and a broader self respect than he who outvies Oliver Twist in his cries for "More" without Oliver's excuse of youth, helplessness and hunger, •e least dignified and least reputable an eVPresident can do is to use ^rs he has had, the offices he has

Me money he has been paid as favor of his being a per"What American" to of the Indianapolis sh to know that an 'ted States feels 'to work for dependent wishes

As ,English publisher writes to the London Times that "the present system of publishing such books as Lord Beaconsfield's 'Endymion,' at a price which is virtually prohibitory, is not only impolitic, but from a business point of view, unwise." Lord Beaconsfleld was paid £10,00 lor the copyright. Ten thousand copies were issued at 31s 6d ($7.87) for the three volumes. The publisherMr. Qriffen, says that at half a crown (60 cents) for a one volume book, at least 500,000 copies might have been sold in England. This would give the publishers a profit of 1 shilling per copy, or a total ot £25,000. The argument is, whether it is best to issue a novel ia three volumes at at a guinea and a half on an investment of £18,305, which yields a profit of £13,125, or to publish at half a crown a copy, investing £35,000, and reaping a profit of £22,000. When money in England yields only 3 per cent, the answer is plain. In Paris books are now published much cheaper than in London. Thus, the Freneh edition of Metternich's "Memoirs," in two volumes, octavo, was issued at 18 francs, while the English edition, in two volumes, was sold at 36s Mmo De Remusat's Memoirs," in French, cost 12 francs in English, 32s. While prices are the extreme of dearness in England, with us they run to the extreme of cheapness. For the small sum of 30 cents one may buy one of the world's masterpieces for $20 he can purchase a library, embracing every variety of literature from religion and poetry all the way down to most modern inculcations of the scientists. There are signs in England that the aristocratic customs of publishers so long cherished as something too sacred to be changed are about to receive the assaults of the literary iconoclast, aided by such revolutionary publishers as Michel Levy. They have already cheapened the dead author's works to the general public it will not be loag ere they perform the same service in the instances of the living.

THE ELECTORAL VOTE. At a caucus of Democratic Senators in Washington last night it. was decided to oppose the passage of the lngalls resolution providing a means of counting the electoral vote. It was further decided to have the select committee on this subject report the] majority in the Senate pass as soon as practicable a substitute for Ingall's resolution That substitute is to be a concurrent resolution providing in substance that the two houses shall assemble in the hall of the House of Representatives, on the 9th proximo that lists of th electoral votes shall be made by two or more tellers on the part of the House and one or more ou the part of the Senate that the totals for each Presidential and Vice Presidential candidate, excepting the votes cast for the State of Georgia aeven days after the time prcsribed by Federal law, shall be handed to the presi dent of the Senate, and that he, as presid ing officer of the joint convention, shall announce the results in the same way in which the results were announced under similar circumstances in the years 1810, 1857, and 1869 when the electoral votes /|of Missour Wisconsin and Michigan were found to haxe been cast on days other than those fixed by general law. The announce) ment, according to the proposed arrangement, would be a hypothetical declaration as to what would be tho total tor each candidate, "if the votes of Georgia be counted," but it is to be provided in the concurrent resolution that tlrs hypothetical declaration shall be supplemented by an announcement by the presiding officer, that "in any eveat, James A Garfield and Chester A. Arthur have received a constitutional majority of aU the elec orial votes, and are duly elated Presi tdent and Vice President."

THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

THEY have been so accustomed to reading bad penmanship in petitions and communications at the City Council that when a page of writing as pretty as a picture and as plain and clear as a cop per plate engraving is presented to them they can not read it, but pass it about from one to another as if it was a conundrum in Hebrew. It is mc than half affectation, two thirds envy and three fourths admiration of chirography which they can not hope to imitate.

THE Pennsylvania Solons seem to hav returned to business. Yesterday the vote for Senator stood: Wallace, 78: Oliver76 Grow, 50 Hewitt, 3 McYeagh, 3 Phillips, 2 Baird, 1 Snowden, 1 Agnew, 1 Curtin, 1 Wolf, 1. Then they adjourned.

Mr. Waldo M. Claflin, a manufacturer of Philadelphia, givos this written testimony to the value of Compound Oxygen: "Two years ago I was sick with "what was called consumption. I was too sick to attend to business—even to write a letter. My physician got discouraged, and took "me almost by force to your office. I began to improve very soon, so that all my friends were surprised. In two months I was able to resume busi ness, increasing in weight, strength, and comfort. ... If there be any disease about me for the last year there is no evidences o! it." Full information about this new Treatment Tor Chronic Disease will be found in our Treatise on Compound Oxygen, which is sent free.

PLAYING A LITTLE GAME.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.—The Republican of yesterday has a special from Dallas, Tex., giving an accound of the disappearance, under circumstances indicating foul play, of a young Frenchman named Gravier, who claimed to be from California, and who stated that his body servant had deserted him at Dennison, carrying off with him $4,000 in money. A valise belonging to the Frenchman, and said by him to contain $25,000 in gold and currency was leit at the house of Mr. Michel, who had befriended him in his trouble, and was deposited in bank by Michel for safe keeping. When last seen the Frenchman was with an Italian named Paul, and suspicion was aroused that the latter has made away with him. Late to-night the Republican received another special from Dallas, stating that neither Gravier nor Paul had yet been heard from that dispatches to California failed to procure the identification ol Gravier that when the authorities opened his valise to-day. instead of $25,000 said to be in it, they found pieces of candle wrapped up to appear like one hundred live dollar gold pieces in each package, and short pieces of railroad iron wrapped up to look like gold bricks, but no money. Both the Frenchman and Italian exhibited large amounts of gold and greenbacks before disappearing, and the police have information from St. Louis that they are members of a gang of well known burglars, and it is thought that they are connected with a number of heavy robberies in the "West during the past week. The chief of police has had'postal catds print, ed describing them and mailed to various cities to-night to secure their rrtesU

GOT TOO DEMONSTRATIVE.

August Elopp shot and killed A ntoine Goschlich, a wealthy German, at Dallas, Texas, this afternoon. The latter went to the house of the former to get a daughter who had been obliged to leave home on account of brutal treatment, and becoming very abusive and demonstrative, and kicking in Klopp's door, the latter shot him with a Winchester rifle. Goschlich's wife committed suicide a few months ago, on account of the treatment of her husband. Klopp surrendered to the authorities, and has public sentiment in his favor.

What We Know About It.

From the Cairo (111.) Radical Republican.

What do yt)u know about St. Jacobs Oil said one of our oldest subscribers This was a fair question, and we answer, that we are reliably informed, that a gentleman of this city who has suffered untold agony, and spent a mint of mon«y to get relief fiom rheumatism, in desperation bought some and tried it, and declares that it is the best remedy for rheumatism he ever heard of. I—^ ivf»

Every Time.

From Che Keokuk Constitution^

A man, or even a piece of machinery that does its work right every time, is we think, veiy correctly judged "valuable." And certainly none the less valuable is any article designed to relieve the ills of mankind, and which does so every time. Messrs. Jones, Cook & Co., Bay State Brewery, Boston, Mass., write: "We bave used St. Jacobs Oil among our men and find that it helps them "every time." We therefore heartily recommend it as a pain-healing liniment.

Prejudice Ki.ls.

"Eleven years our daughter suffered on abed of misery under the care of several of the best (and some of the worst) physicians, who give her disease various •ams but no relief, and now she is restored to us in good health by as simple a remedy as Hop Bitters, that we had poohedat for two years, before using it. We earnestly hope and prav that no one else will let their sick suffer. as w« did, on account of prejudice against so good a medicine as Hop Bitters."—The a

^Increasing Use of Compound Oxygen by Physicians. A large and steadily increasing number of intelligent physicians in all parts of the country are using Compound Oxygen in Chronic Caseswhich they have not been able to cure with ordinary remedies. Writes one: "I shall make the Oxygen Treatment a prominent feature in my practice, for I have tested it sufficiently to satisfy me of its merits." Says another: *'I do know that my patient is a hundred per cent better, and is gaining rapidly^ His left lung was almost consolidated, but is now free except in one small spot." Another physician, who used it in his own case, says: "I was relieved, the first time I used it, of a very severe catarrh trouble and my lung trouble promises to be a thing of the past." Writes another: "I am thoroughly convinced that the Compound Oxygen is what we need in a vast army of Chronic Diseases." We could give columns of extracts from our correspondence with physicians who are using this new Treatment, all of the same tenor. If you wish to know what Compound Oxygen is, and what it cures, send for our Treatise on its Nature, Action, and Results. It will be mailed free. Drs. STARKBY & PALEN, 1109 and 1111 Girard street, Philadelphia, Pa.

OBITUARY.

The sa4 duty devolved oh the GAZETTE yesterday of announcing the death, at the old family homestead in Honey Creek Township, of N. B. Erisman. He died Monday afternoon, after a comparatively short illness. Deceased was in the 3Sth year of his age, and gave promise of long and useful life, when death suddenly intervened and claimed the strong man for his own. He was a native of this county, and was known to a large circle of friends who will mingle their tears with those of his bereaved family over his untimely taking off. He was a de voted son and brother, and in all the relations of life an upright and honest man —such an one as the community can ill afford to lose. The funeral took place this aftern«on from bis mother's residence on south Fifth street, and lefore this notice is read all that was mortal of him will have mingl'^1 with the earth from which wc all have sprung.
