THE POLICE BOARD.
In the Express for yesterday appeared (or as that paper would say, our attention has been called to) the following card from Councilman Ellis:
I wish simply to correct a statement made in the Gazette. It states it has reason to believe that I amout-voted and sat down upon by the other two members of the police board. In justice to Mr. McCutcheon and Mr. Polk and to myself, I desire to state such is not the case. There always has been and is at present the very best of feeling and unanimity existing in the lward. In all the meetings of the board, when present, I have had my say and gave full expression on all matters before the board, and there never has existed the slightest discord among us.
Respectfully, EDWIN ELLIS.
If we are to understand by this card that Mr. Ellis, as a member of the Police Board, voted to reinstate an officer whom he had a few days before dismissed from the police forcc because lie was drunk and had been guilty of conduct unbecom ing an officer, then we were misinJormed and apologize to him for incorrectly excluding him from parciptv a shameful outrage perpetrated by the'Polico Board. If this is what he wishes to deny then there are three men on the Police Board and not two who ought to be changed, before the law-abiding portion of the people of Terre Haute can feel assured that they are not in more danger of molestation from their paid police force than from any other class. And the announcement might as well be made that law breaking is a crime for every one but a policemen and that policemen alone can do no wrong.
A SOUTHWESTERN RAILROAD. A number of gentlemen, prominent in business circles here and identified with the interests of this city, have for some time been desirous of having a railroad bui't from Terre Haute southwest to some point on the O. & M. road. Several years ago, it will be remembered, the citizens of Terre Haute voted an appropriation for the purpose and surveys were lnade and some little work done. But the panic coming on the enterprise was dropped. It is proposed to revive it now and push it through, for it is generally conceded that the road would be an exceedingly valuable one to Terre Haute. The country through which it will run is a productive out' abounding in agricultural resources and is naturally tributary to Terre Ilaute. The proposition has taken form since the retirement of Mr. E. B. McClure from the superintendency of the I. & St. road. His reputation among railroad men is of the very best and no enterprise which he has ever touched has failed to be benefitted by it. He has been spoken to about this road and is disposed to regard it favorably. He is going East to consult with a view of determining what can be none there towards raising money for the enterprise. A letter has been addressed to him by a number of our most prominent business men in which he is assured that if he will undertake to build the road from here to Olney, they will use their best endeavors to have the city of Terre Haute donate $100,000 for the purpose. It i3 a thing which should be •done.
TIIK GAZETTE sincerely trusts the City •Council will take some.steps towards fix ing up the wharf on the river front south of the road bridge. There is not now and never has really been a wharf at Terre Haute. Boats have run lip as close AS they could to the banks an.i dis charged their cargoes often at a very .great inconvenience. There will be some •work done on the river next spring by the •Government and it is only reasonable to expect a considerable increase in our river traffic. The city of Terre Haute •ught to do something here to lessen the vexations of this business. All it can do is to tlx up the landing, and that it ought to do. The GAZETTE hopes to hear of action taken by the City Council looking to the accomplishment of this very de 8irable end.

COL. THOMPSON ON THE PANAMA CANAL.
A few days ago our townsman, Vf. Thompson, made an argument on the Interoceanic Canal at Panama, its political aspects and the "Monroe Doctrine" before the committee of Foreign Affairs, of the House of Representatives. At the time the GAZETTE republished from the New York World a Washington special giving an outline of the argument more satisfactory than the brief condensation sent by the Associated Press. A pamphlet of 51 pages has been issued containing the argument in full and its perusal affords abundant evidence that no abstract of it could do it justice. It is the clearest and ablest exposition that has ever yet been made of the "Mon. ioe Doctrine," of which there has been more idle prattle by the press, politicians and people on a smaller substratum of information than on any other subject. There has leen scarcely any question mooted touching our relations with other countries in which the "Monroe Doctrine" has not figured in some dim and shadowy way. It has come up in Congress and there have been wise waggings of Congressional heads and ominous givings out that the Panama Canal could under no circumstances be dug by Mr. Lesseps and his associates because—because the "'Monroe Doctrine" would tolerate the inception and prosecution of no commercial enterprise on this hemisphere, however vast or beneficial it might ba to mankind, unless American citizens were at the head of it. Col. Thompson told the committee all about the "Monroe Doctrine how and under what circumstances it was promulgated by President Monroe what was said about it in Congress what was written concerning it by satfesmen and publicises of that day. He covers the whole ground and no one desirous of informing himself on this question can do it so easily or so thoroughly as he can. by consulting this admirable document.
He gives also the whole history of these various canal enterprises. One ol the admirable features of his speech is the repeated references he makes to the Nicaraugua project. He refers to it in the kindliest terms and declares that it rests on the same concessions from the government of Nicaraugua that the Panama canal does from Colombia that both are alike free from the control of any government other than that of the countries in whose respective territories it is proposed to dig tho canals. This part of his speech is in admirable contrast to the article by Gen. Grant on the Nicaraugua canal in the North American Review. Gen. Grant seems to be filled with the idea that the way for him to dig the Nicaraugua Canal is for him to abuse the Panama Canal, and he apparently thinks that if he declares in bad tehiper that the Panama Canal cannot be dug— and it is certain that nobody has as yet asked him to undertake it—that his canal will be dug. Col. Thompson says that the two canals are primarily under the control respectively of Colombia and Nicaraugua that neither the United States nor any other government has any right to interfere with those countries in chartering a company to dig a canal or build a railroad, aud that when both companies appeal to the capitalists ot the world to invest in their enterprises it will be for them to decide on their respective merits and invest in either, neither or both as they please. "We have only space here to give the conclusions to Col. Thompson's argumen as they are published at the end of his speech. They are well worth reading and are as follows:
I. The "Universal Interocenic Can a Association," of which Mr. Lesseps president, was chartered by the Congress of the United States of Colombia.
II.. All the rights, privileges and franchises possessed by this association are required and held under this charter.
III. The United States of Colombia, as a sovereign government having full jurisdiction over its own territory and domestic affairs, had the perfect right to grant this charter.
IV. It is to maintain and preserve this right that the "Monroe Doctrine" was announced.
V. This association is, therefore, a private corporation and is answerable to the laws of tho United Siates of Colombia, and to no other government, for any violation of its charter.
VI. The United States of Colombia took the precaution to prevent the possiblity of there being any interference with the canal on the part of other governments, and to prohibit them from any of the rights, privileges, or property granted by the charter.
VII. Article 21 of the charter declares that the association "is absolutely prohibited tc code or mortgage them, under any consideration whatever, to any nation or foreign government,"—that is, to any natioa or government foreign to that of the United States of Colombia.
VIII. Article 22 gives the Supreme Court of Colombia jurisdiction to declare the charter fortei'ed if article 21 shall be violated by ceding or mortgaging any in terest in the canal to any foreign country or government.
IX. If therefore the Frencti. Oovernmmt should acquire any of the rights of the association, under this charter, all the franchises granted would become forfeited
X. Article 21 is consequently a perfect guarantee that such a contingency can never arise. The interests of the association forbid it, the Government of Colom bia would not submit to it.
XI. France, then, could not acquire control over the canal in any other way than by force—an act of war.
XII. In this event, which is scarcely possible, the Government of Colombia
"J
&
/\r*y-f vT
would have the right to call on the Government of the United States and New Granada (now Colombia.)
XIII. By this treaty the United States guaranteed the neutrality of the canal and the rights of sovereignly and property of Colombia over the territory of the Isthmus.
XIV. Under either of these guarantees the United States would have the right to interfere to prevent the Government of France from acquiring any jurisdiction or authorities over the canal. 1st. Because the acquisition of such jurisdiction would impair the neutrality of the canal. 2d. Because it would be an invasion of the sovereignty of Colombia over her own territory.
XV. The United States ought then to interfere, and undoubtedly would do so. It would be the enforcement of a treaty tipulation.
XVI. It would not be necessary to wait for a request from Colombia, although it would undoubtedly be made, because Colombia would not, any more than other independent governments, permit her sovereignty to be invaded.
XVII. If, however, she should not call upon the United States to enforce tbe guarantees of the treaty of 1848, the United States would, nevertheless, have the right, as one of the parties of the treaty, to interfere on their own account. It would be their duty to do so, tofprotect tlit{neutrality of ofjthe transit route across the Isthmus.
XVIII. There is, therefore, no public or political question involved in the operations of the "Universal Interoceanic Canal Association." It is only putting itself in condition to build a canal at Panama, and to execute a contract which Colombia had the sovereign right to make wilh it.
XIX. It is a private and business enterprise merely, to be regulated and governed alone by the laws of Colombia.
XX|All|that it has one or candojunder the laws of France, is to avail itself of the provisions of a general statute which enables it to receive] subscriptions of stock and collect money.
XXI. When this money is collected, it is to be taken to Colombia and expended there, under the flaws of that state, and under a charter %hich those laws regulate just as railroad corporations obtain money in Europe and expend it under our laws and upon our railroads. The transactions, in each of these cases, are matters of business entirely. In one the money is expended and the property rights are acquired under the laws of Colombia in thefother, under the laws of the United States.
XXII. The Nicaragua Canal Company ask a charter from Congress. The only forcc which this charter, if granted can have, will be to enable the corporators—just as the general law of France enabled the "Univermfllnter oceanic Canal Association" to receive subscriptions of stock and collect tho money. In this respect the two companies are alike the only difference being that one proposes to operate under a special law of the United States, and the other operates under a general law of France.
XXIII. One has already opened its stock subscription book in Europe anil the United States, and the other, if chartered, proposes to do precisely tho same thing. Neither jvill inquire whether the subscribers to their stock belong to one nationality or another whether they belong to America, France, England, Germany, or any other country.
XXIV. They are alike, in both being private corporations. In order to construct a canal across the Isthmus, at Nicaragua, the Nicaragua Canal Company must obtain a charter from the Government of Nicaragua, as the "universal interoceanic Canal has from the Government of Colombia.
Association"
XXV. No charter that the United States can give and no law of France can confer any of these rights or franchise, either in Nicaragua or Colombia. No law of either country can have any extra territorial force.
XXVI. France is interested in the neutrality of the Nicaragua Canal. If, therefore, France should say that to allow Nicaragua to charter an American company to construct it would tend to destroy that neutrality by giving the control of the canal to the United States, arid should carry her opposition to the point of resistance, it would be an act'ot war against Nicaragua because it would be an attack upon lier sovereign right to dispose of her own property and manage her own affairs.
XXVII. If the United States on account of their interest in the neutrality of the canal at Panama, should say that to allow Colombia to charter a French company to construct it would tend to destroy that neutrality by giving the control of the canal to France, and should carry their opposition to a point of resistance, it would be an act of war against Colombia, because it would be an attack upon her. sovereign right to dispose of her own property and manage her own affairs.
The cases, upon principle, are precisely the same. XXVIII. France has not lent any of the machinery of her governmeut to aid the "Universal Interoceanic Canal Association," and has disavowed any interest in or connection with its operations in regard to the canal. Can the United States afford to assume the contrary to be true, in the face of this avowal
XXIX. If the United States should deny to Colombia the right to charter a company to construct a canal across the Isthmus within the limits of her own territorial boundaries, and thereby violate her rights of self-government, it wonld not only be|in violation of the "Monroe Doctrine," but would also violate the treaty of 1848.

WHITFIELD.
The Case of Officer Whitfield Investigated by the Police Board
Resulting in his Acquittal.
FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.
The Police Board yesterday had officer Whitfield up for trial on the charge made by Mrs. Sullivan. The evidence is given below. Mrs. Sullivan re-iterated her story just as she stated it to the GAZETTE reporter, but admits that she signed the retraction, which places a cloud on her testimony. Whitfield says she is a prostitute, and as he was shot a few years ago in a house of ill-fame he is authority on that subject. He went to her room to soothe her feelings at 3 o'clock in the morning, waking her up to do it, and says he "may have laid his hand on "her shoulder." The woman positively swears that he wanted to kiss her. As they have "made up" the GAZETTE sees no leason why he should not be "acquitted" and continue to call and see her at three o'clock any cold, .[morning he wishes to.
MRS. SULLIVAN was sworn and testified as follows: Mr. Whitfield is guilty he came to my room about 3 o'clock last Monday morning and knocked I thought it was later in the morning than it was and asked "who's there" and then again "Is it Rob Harvey." The person who knocked said "No it's not Rob Harvey It's Whitfield and I want to sec you on business 1 got up, dressed|and let him in. He sat down on the chair and talked for awhile then he commenced pinching me I told him to qnit and shoved his hands away he then made improper proposals to me and I told him "no" he threw me violently across the bed this awakened my little boy who cried then he blew out the light's and ran down st&irs
Question by Whitfield—Did I push you on the bed A.—Yes, you pushed me down on the bed you asked me to kiss you I told you "no" and then you asked me the other and I said "no."
Mayor Havens—Mrs. Sullivan, here is a letter which reads as follows: TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Feb. 3,1881. MR. WHITFIELD:
I recall the words that I said and you did not come here with any intentional harm. But I would not have said any thing had it not been for Bob Harvey Mr. Whitfield, I am sorry it nas wentso far as it has, but will say no more about it her

205 north Tenth street. Mrs. Sullivan—Flem Watkins wrote that letter Chief Russell kind of scared me the night he came out with the re porter he said it would be best to compromise it didn't you Mr. Russell
Mr. Russell—Yes, if the charges were groundless. Mrs. Sullivan continued: Mr. Russell told me it would disgrace Whitfield and his family if it ever came to trial. I asked him what would become of my family he talked to me awhile and I got Flem Watkins to write a piece saying that I would see Whitfield and compro

Havens read another letter from
Mrs. Sullivan. Mrs. 8.—I can't read nor write Police man Watson brought a letter out to me but it didn't read anything like that Watson and Whitfield Jold me not to come before the police board.
Q.—How did you come to sign it? A.—Well, he got me to sign it I told him: "yes, you will get me to compromise it and then you will make me to blame," he said "no, it will all be the same my mother was in the house with me the night Whitfield came, but not in the same room my little boy, about seven years old, was there they have?got it wrong in that lette* about Bob Harvey Monday evening I came up to see wliat I could do, but I didn't know where to go and I went back home Harvey said to me "you ought to hear what Whitfield is saying about you when Charley Watson came to my house that letter "to whom it may concern" was already written ready to sign that second letter Mr. Whitfield asked me to get that young man to write one of these letters was read to me before I signed it I don't know where the man is who wrote these letter*
Q.—Did you tell him what to put in flint Ipftpr A.—I did Harvej didn't have anything to do about writing it.
Q.—Did you send word up here that if the letter wasn't strong enough they could write a letter to suit themselves and you would sign it?
A.—No, sir, I did not Mr. Russell was down there night before last and we talked about Whitfield, and I told him the same as I have told here.
Q._Why did you make these retractions why did you sign these papers? A.—Mr. Whitfield told me to have it wrote I didn't know what to do I thought they were officers and knew more about it than I did Mr. Watson and Mr. Whitfield told me not to come here at all mv mother heard it and she said. "Ella, they just want to mpke you out a liar and that is all."
Q.—Did Harvey ever make an inproper proposal to you A.—No sir, never.

Question by Mr. Whitfield to Mrs. Sullivan—Didn't you tell me that Harvey throwed himself across your bed and asked you to go to bed with him
A—No, sir,I did not, that last letter Mr. Whitfield got a young man to write, and my mother knows it, too the reason I asked if it was Harvey knocking at the door is, when my husband is at home, they both have Deen working together, and Harvey would rattle on the door about five o'clock just to torment my husband—to ^et him up Harvey never did try to get into mj room when my husband was absent I did not tell this young hi an to tell Whitfield that Harvey nad insulted me Harvey never at any time made improper proposals to me.
Mrs. Mary A. Cottrell testified: Mrs. Sullivan is my daughter 1 live in the same house with her she told me Monday what Whitfield was trying to do the night before Whitfield was to my house and tried to compromise the case I told Ella not to do it, that if she did she would be accounted a liar.
Albert Overholtz testified that he went out with Harry Russell and Whitfield to see Mrs. Sullivan Whitfield told her to do as she pleased one of the women in the house said Mrs. Sullivan spoke well of Whitfield Monday morning.
John O'Neil, a youne man with a bad eye, testified that he told Whitfield that he heard Mrs. Sullivan crying and saying that Bob Harvey had threatened to kick her.
Robert Harvey testified that he never threatened to kick Mrs. Sullivan she Id me of the attempted rape on Monday I boarded at Mrs. Cottrell's in the same building with Mrs. Sullivan I would sometimes go up to Mrs Sullivan's room and rap at tnc door so as to awake her husband, who had to be up early every morning to go to work I am in the employ of Clias. Hennessy.
Chief of Police Russell's evidence was hearsay. He said Mrs. Sullivan was of bad character.
Policeman Jas. Hogan testified that Harvey wanted to get on the police force. This closed the evidence and the police board, after a moment's consultation, reported that they had found Whitfield not guilty.

EUGENE HESS.
A Letter From Him From Gibraltar,
In a letter to the GAZETTE, written on the United States Steamer Galena, at Gibraltar, Eugene Hess says:
The ship arrived Wednesday morning (Jan. 12th), and the boys were all glad to get in. The ship left Norfolk, Va., Sunday morning, Dec. 17th, making the passage in twenty-three days and twenty-two hours. I tell you we had some mighty rough weather. We were in a gale three days and three nights, and the ship rolled forty-two degrees. We had to hold on to the ropes or else we would take a tumble. The sea stove is one of the ports of the ports and water came in and washed everything fore and aft. The fourth night the spanker gaff was carried away and created quite an excitement. (The GAZETTE doesn't know what a "spanker gaff" is, unless it is something to enforce discipline ifi which event its departure may well have caused excitement.) I gave up all hopes of ever seeing land again.. It rained nearly all the time. TTiey were all surprised to see land. Last Saturday one of the boilers exploded but very little damage was done, only one man being hurt. We were about eight hundred miles from shore at the time.
When I was at home I said I was go ing to be sent to the Pacific coast or to San Francisco but when I reported on board of the Minnesota, lying in the Brooklyn navy yard, I had my choice to wait till spring and then (o. to the Pacific or be sent to the Galena. Well, I talked to several men who had been out to that coast and they didn't seem to like it so I thought I might as well go to Europe again. This ship is going to Constantinople, to Bethlehem ana probably through the Suez Canal but it is uncertain.

Health of the American Eagle. Cleveland Penny Press. To relieve the monotony of the constant important sayings of "Our Candidate," "Our Next President" and "Our FellowCitizen," it is a pleasure for us to present herewith the opinion of one of Cleveland's most popular Druggists, Mr. E. A. Schellentrager, 717 St. Clair Street. The gentleman writes: I know of no remedy whicn has given more universal satisfaction than the Hamburg drops. I have not heard of a case where they failed to benefit. The very large and daily growing demand for this Great German Blood Purifier, is a source of high gratification, for aside from the pecuniary gain, one takes pleasure in selling an article of such marked efficacy and superior merit.

ot candidates and records, it
is safe to say, that if a man could be nominated for the highest office in the land, with as clear a record for being the fittest, safest and the best, as our famous Garman friend St. Jacobs Oil has, there would be no doubt of an election. -Party, creed, or denomination would not enter into the canvass.
