THE State debt of Pennsylvania is over wenty-one millions of dollars.

AN agricultural convention is to meet in Washington from the 10th to the 19th.

SKCKETAHY JAMES yesterday attended his Jast and Secretary Brewster his first cabinet meeting

A. NEW VEAK never opened with brighter prospects for Terre Haute and the people of the Wabash Valley.

THIS would be a happier New Year if Charles J. Guiteau had paid the penalty of his hideous crime of last July.

THE Democrats will proceed to organize the New York legislature to-day, They control b^th'branches of that body. This is the first time in years that the Democrats have had a majority in both houses of Abe New York legislature.

OUR mercantile exports for the year ending November 30th exceed the im ports by $195,133,312, against $103,138,. 750 for the previous year. The excess of imports over the exports of coin for tlie "same period is $02,983,036, against $59,343,990 for the previous year.

Mtt PATRICK SHANNON does not seem to be pushing iiissuit for slander against Charles Eppinghousen. Mr. Eppinghousen said some very bard things about Mr. Shannon, aud is prepared, according to our understanding, to prove that what he said was the truth. He is, moreover, ready for trial.

WE have yet to hear of the first man on the liond of Newton Rogers with MrShannon who does not condemn in un" •tinted terras the conduct ot Shannon. And in thai sentiment of condemnation every respectable citizen of Vigo County familiar with tbe facts, joins. During four years Mr. Shannon feasted on Newton Rogers. He will not be permitted to finish .his fea*t on hia fellow bondsmen. He has $2,000 of money in his safe which is not his and he must give it up.

MR. PATRICK SHANNON still has that $8)000 %hioh he ought never to have kept and which he must aud wiN be compelled to p^y. The explanation in his own can), published in the advertising columns of the Mail on the 17th inst. of how he obtained it is a dishonoring one It is not good raw, for he will not be allowed to keep the mooey. The other bondsmen do not think the explanation showing how he had intended to throw the whole burden ot the bond on them is good morals, and in this opinion they are backed by every upright man in Yigo County.

Tu Senate contingent fond investigating committee reassembled yeaUiday. W. P. Brown, foreman of the Treasury Department cabinet workshop, presented .a memorandum in which, it is said, he jaw the dates, lime occupied and character of work done by hia upoa Beer*. •UryBhemtaa* new home and stable, and

also showing Jhattfti# 4ork, or some of it, had been charged tr different bureaus in the department Xx-AOcretary Sherman may yet he aorry that ha lives te such finely finished hoaa*, and that bit horsep inhabit stalls fitted up by the Treasury cabinet work—.

.THIS tribute which our distinguished townsman. Col. W. Ilompm, paid to his old friend Lucius Ryce in hia address at the Congregational church Sunday night, was a handsome one and well deserved. Col. Thompson had known Mr. Ryce toQg and intimately and between the two there was a strong attachment Mr. Ryce was not only fortunate in the incidents connected with| and the manner of his death, but especially so in having for a eulogist a friend who touches nothing that he does not adorn, and whose words as well as his deeds furnish rich material for history.

WHEN the late Wm. Tweed was £traigned before the bar of public opinion by tbe New York Timet for hia enormous raids on the Treasury of New York City he refused to give up his spoils.

Mr. Patrick Shannon has in his bank1 $3,000 which is not his. Its place is in the Treasury of Vigo County. He re luses to give it up. *Jt

Suit was brought against Mr. Tweed, The history of his career and the restitution he was compelled to make and his final ending ate all matters familiar to the public.

The closing chapters of Mr. Shannon's career have not yet been written.

A pew view-obstructing hats are still seen in the theatres, but it is only just to say that a majority of those who now at* tend wear the small and close-fitting bonnets, which make then* pretty faces look all the prettier, for it is true that— Loveliness needs not the aid ot foreign ornament, But iv, when unadorned, adorned tbe most.

Those who only have the large ungainly Gainsborough, hats should either stay at home or come with a hood which may be removed, and so sit bareheaded. A man that would wear a Mexican sombre* ro during a performance at the opera house, stick a half dozen #-M« Wers in it and put it on the back of hi** Mke a baio would be fed out by theyu.ioc. *,.1

A WASHINGTON special says that there has been a somewhat general exchange of views on the part of members o! the new Committee on elections in regstd to the Cannon-Campbell contest for the seat in the House ss Delegate from the territory of Utah- The general impression among the members of the Election* Committee is that neither Campbell nor Cannon should be admittel The Committee will first inquire: into the question of Cameron's being, an alien, of which there is pretty good proof After that the intention is that the whole matter will very likely be referred back to the Territory of Utah and* a new election ordered.

THE gentlemen on the bond of Nekton Rogers with Patrick Shannon would have passed a pleasanter New Year's day if Mr. Shannon had not laid his plans for appropriating to his own uses $3,000 ot money which they will be compelled to make good. But Mr. Shannon will not be permitted to keep that money and he would have enjoyed himself very much more than he did on the first of the yeqr IT* his conscience had been clear ana his pocket free from the contamination of $3,000 belonging to other parlies. Among the good resolutions he formed on New Year's day, it is to be hoped one was to restore this money and another was hereafter to keep his hands off of money not proDerly and 'honestly his.

PATRICK SHANNON still has that $3,000 that does not belong to him and that ought to have been paid into the County Treasury on the check of Newton Rogers. If he had not insisted on keeping this money, so that he might make money while all the others lost, the bond of Mr. Rogers would have been satisfied before this. -But he will be'compelled te disgorge. The tax payers of Yigo coonty may rest assured of thai. And he shall never be on the bond cf another city or county official he shall never have the deposite of or suck the like blood from another public official and shall never have another opportunity for appropriating money as he has tried to do in this case.

IF the attorneys for tbe defence in the Guiteau trial are permitted to open op the case in the way they now propose by introducing a large let of new witnesses the whole of 1889 will betaken up with that hideous farce. It is to be understood that the Government is paying the "expenses of every kind incident to this trial, evon paying Mrs. ScoviUe^he sister of the murderer, her foes as a witfrom Chicago to Washington. The trial of this hideous little miscreant will cost the country over a million dollara. A thousand such trials would bankrupt the country. It is a shame and a scandal to waste eo much timfc and good money on so monstrous a monster. The proceedings in Judge Lynch's court sire much cheaper than this, thereia no mummery o( laaghter about it, but a grim silence that is a terror to criminals. Judge OOK haa done more to encourage lynch law for Urn ft-

teres

ttuatbdh any handled jpersoai in the country. It would have been a thousand times better for Chateau «1nvt been torn to pieces immediately alter he had shot the President than to have had his trial prolonged until no#. His trial will be a fruitful hpt bed from which an abundant crop of murderers will come with pleas of insanity. By it the whole eountry has been scandalised. At the end of this business, Judge Walter 8. Cos, ought to be removed from office and given an opportunity to make a living in aome other pursuit than the law.

REPORTS having reached the Governor of Poltova that the nuns os Welikobud were stirring up the Benksoff peasantry against the Sanitary Commission visiting that distrtct, debouncing the commission* ees as imps of Satan, and their dire in. fectant procedures as sorcery inspired by the foul fiend, his Excellency dispatched an official in high authority, accompanied by a strong police force, to tbe convent in question with orders to "bring the seditious sisters to their senses." When the officials arrived at the convent, high mass was being celebrated. He awaited the conclusion of the ceremony in the church, and then, as the congregatioh were preparing to leave, he addressed them in energetic language, representing to them the Sanitary Commission had been sent to them for their good, and that the nuns, in denouncing it as a worn the devil, has grossly Imposed tipon their credulity. "To prove," he added,""how utterly unfounded are these, wicked at legations, I shall proceed forthwith to.disinfect this church and convent?' He had hardly spoken these words, when a tumult broke out among the nans, some of whom attacked him and his following, whilst others rushed to the belfry and rang a furious fclarin peal. Soon a number of peasant women, aimed with brooms, fireirons, and hay forks, appeared upon the scene and set upon the policemen with such ferocity that the latter were compelled »n sheer self defense,, to make use of their side arms. ^Repeated charges upon the enraged women, however, failed to disperse or put thety to flight and after a desperate struggle, in which several oi'his men were, disabled, the officer himself severely hurt, was compelled himself to beat a hasty retreat.

SOME of the Eastern papers are tearing passion into tatters because of a story of their own invention to the effect that ex-President Haves did not con tribute to the Mrs. Garfield fund. The papers engaged in elucidating this great question of ethics «re those who vex tbe air with their laudation of Grant as a paragon of anointed rulers, etc., etc., ad nauseam. Now the fact is that ex-Presi-dent Hayes did contribute, and that quite liberally, to the Garfield fund We have not heard that the only other living ex. President, U. ,,,S. Grant, gave anything. Mr. Hayes is living in honorable retirement in tho home he left to assume the presidency. He is not a national mendicant as is Grant. He has not permitted the hat to be passed around in his behalf. He was a brave and gallant soldier, albeit he did not command as large armies as did Grant, but he is not coaching superserviceable friends to have himself placed on the army reitred list as a pensioner. He has no railroad schemes with probable credit mobilier attachments. He is not gambling in stocks. He ie not contriving schemes for violating the traditions of the Republic. He is not making a tour of the world at the Government's expense. He is not eating free lunches, taking free rides, or accepting gifts of enormous value from the rulers of all the countries of the globe... Mr. Hayes is conduc ing himself with eminent propriety in his old home, amoog the people with whem be lived previous to bis elevation to the presidency. He has not been spoiled by power or by flattery and in his honorable retirement be has the respect and confidence oi the people to an extent'.never anjeyed by Grant

CONSIDERABLE interest was excited in the Russian capital a short time ago by a curious case tried before the chief magistrate of tbe Eighth judicial district, both plaintiff and defendant being persons well known in the upper oireles of St. Petersburg society. The former, Michael Grusdinski, a noble by birth, is a fashionable dancing master, patronized by the Court and aristocracy the latter, Captain de Bresenski, a staff officer of the Imperial Guprd. It appeals that Grusdenski had given twenty dancing lessons, at the rate of two roubles per lesson—bis regular charge—to the captain** youthful daughter, and had applied^* peatedly for payment of hie bill, but in vain. One eveningrhe called upon Breaenski in person to collect his forty roubles, and was shown into a dining, room, where the gallant guardsman, whose speech and demeanor exhibited unmistakable symptoms of vinous excitement, greeted him with affectionate joviality, and, in reply to Grusdinski's respectfbl request for a settlement of account, declared himself ready an* willlog to pay upon the spat, to the last copeck, upon one trifling ctmditian—that his creditor sboald than and them dance the •'Koaanrlnski,** far Ids (BransenakVs) special and particular detartartan This the terpsfchocean protasof steadfosCly

refused to do whereupon Brerisenski's cheerfulness incontinently forsook him, and* aummoaing his servanta, he Commanded them to "throw the dancing dog into the street." They falfillej hia orders to the letter Charged with aaatult, Captain de Brenseski attempted to eagle hiaoondnct on the ground that he had intended to pay Grusdinski a compliment in asking him to dance, aad oa hia abrupt rafnaal to comply with hia request had been moved by natural indignation to turn him out of doors. The court, however, tailing to recognize the force Of this argument, sentenced Captain de Bmsenski to suffer three days' imprisonment and to pay the outraged dancing master's claim in fall.

ANXNT the Guiteau trial the New York Wvrld says* "The World has no animoaity against Judge Oox. The existence of Judge Cox was not known to the World until he was pitchforked into prominence in tbe case of Guiteau. All the World has ever heard of bim has been in bis favor. But he.ia really past endurance. On Wednesday last he issued a sort of discretionary license to the assassin to disport himself before the experts of the prosecution as a study in insanity. This was bad enough. But, yesteuday, the last of these expats being present in Court (ss Judge Oox well knew), the Judge actually allowed Guiteau to' wallow publicly in absolute unrestrained blasphemy."

It is said that Judge Cox relies upon the verdict of guilty against Guiteau and bis execution for his own undications. He will wait in vain. Guiteau will be hanged of course.. That is to be expected. But he ought to have been hanged two months ago and he ought not to have been permitted to disport, himself in public week after week to the delectation and spiritual refreshing of all the moral im beciles and vain fools over the country, who are confused already as to the difference between iame and infamy and think it is a great thing to have their doinge in the public prints. ,v

UP to the hour of going to press Patrick Shannon had not given up that $8,000 of money belonging to Vigo county which he illegally retains. But he will be compelled to disgorge, jdst as a suit compelled him to disgorge that $3,500 deposited in his bank by Mr. Bunting. The'law is against him and the defense set forth in his card over hia own signature that he had set up a job, as he supposed, whereby he was to victimize the other bondsmen to the extent of $3, 000, is a dishonoring one. "Brandt on suretyship" is a law text book recognized as a standard authority On pages 336 and 7 is the following: "It'oneot several sureties after all.have signed, and before fhe debt haa been paid, ,and without any agreement to that effect before he became liable, obtains from tbe principal anything for his indemnity, such indemnity inures to the benefit of all the sureties, and tbe surety obtaining such iudemuity bccomes tlie trustee of it tor the benefit of all the sureties even though he obtained it for his own benefit. In such case, as all the sureties a.-e alike liable for a common principal,.* it will be presumed that the surety taking the indemnity, takes it tor tbe benefit of all the sureties, or if he does not, then bis takin from the effects ot a common principi for his Bole benefit is a fraud on the other mtretiet, and he will not be permitted to have the benefit of the indemnity alone but must share it with the others."'

Story's Equity jurissprudence Vol. I page 655 says: "Sureties are not only entitled to contribution from each other for moneys paid in discharge of their joint liabilities for the principal but they are also entitled to the bem fit of all securities which have been taken by any one of tbefa to indemnify himself against such liabilities

This doctrine aa laid down by Story is quoted in the case of Comegys and others vs the State Bank of Indiana, which is to be found in the Sixth volume of Indiana reports. r,

The plain proposition is that Patrick Shannon Is trying to appropriate $3,000 of money that does not belong to him and that he will not be permitted to do ao. His own explanation in hia card of the wrong he intended to perpetrate on hia fellow bondsmen is one that no man of honor' would make. He will lose this money which never waa hia, and he will never again hive an opportunity of going on the bond of a public official^and tor that supposed favor bleed him to death and then throw not only tbe burden of tbe bond on the others but eighteen hundred ortwa thousand dollars besides in the form of an enriching idemnity tor him

Mr. Patrick Shannon's occupation's gone.

A MMttU STATtKNT.

Tit Uj—aal ExpariMM af a •aa Made nhNa.

Tne following article from the Dem$crat andtGRrwuete, of Rochester, K. Ynh of so striking a nature, and emanatee from ao reliable a source, that it hi herewith re. publiahed entire. In nddition to the valuable matter itcontaina, it will be found exceedingly intonating. To the Editor of the Democrat *a4 Chronical:'

SIR :—tfy motives for the publication of the moet unusual statements which follow are, first, gratitude for the fact that I have been saved from a most horrible death, and, secondly, a desire,to warn all who read this statement against come of the most deceptive infiuencea by which they have ever been surrounded. It is a fact that to-day thousands of people are within afoot of tbe grave and they do not know it To tell how I was caugnt away from just this position and to warn others against nearing it, are my objects in this communication.

&

On the first day of June 1881,1 lay my residence in this city surrounded my friends and waiting for deal Heaven only knows the agony I then endured, for words can never describe it And yet, ii a few years previous, any one had told me that I was to be brought so low, and by so terrible adiseaae, I should have scoffed at the idea. I had always been uncommonly strong and healthy, had weighed over 300 pounds and hardly knew, in my own experience, what pain or sickness were. Very many people who will read this statement realize at times that they are unusually tired and cannot account for it. They feel dull and indefinite pains in various parts of the body ana do not understand it. Or they are exceedingly hungry one day and en* tirely without appetite the next. This was just the way I felt when the relentless malady wh!ch bad fastened itself upon me first began. Still I thought it was nothing that probably I had taken a cold which would soon pass awav. Short ly after this I noticed a dull, ana at tfines neuralgic pain in my head, but it would come one day and be gone the next 1 paid but little attention to it. However, my stomach was out of order and my food often failed to digest, causing at times great inconvenience. Yetlnad no ides, even as a physician, that these things meant anything serious, or that a monstrous disease was becoming fixed upon me. Candidily, I thought I was suffering from malaria, and ao doctored myself accordingly. But I got no better. I next noticed a peculiar color and odor about the fiuidj I waa passing—also that there were large quantities one day and very little the next, and that a persistent froth and scum appeared upon the surface, and a sediment settled in the bottom. And yet I did not realize my danger, for, indeed, seeing these symptoms continually, I finally became accustomed to them, and my suspicion was wholly disarmed by the fact th&t I had no pain In the affected organs or in their vicinity. Why I should have been EO blind 1 cannot understand.

There is a terrible future for all physical neglect, and impending danger usually brings a person to his senses even though it may theif be too late. I realized at last my critical condition and aroused my self to overcome it. And, oh! how hard I tried! I consulted the best medical skill in the land. I visited all the prominent mineral springs in America and traveled from Maine to California. 8till 1 grew worse. No two physicians agreed aa to my malady. One said I was troubled with spinal irritation another, nervous prostration another, malaria another, dyspepsia another, heart disease another, general debilit •another, congestion of tbe base brain and so on through along list of common diseases, the symptoms of all of ithich I really bad. In this way several years passed, during all of which time I was steadily growing worse. My condition had really become pitiable. Tbe slight symptoms at first experienced were developed into terrible and constant disorder—the little twigs of pain bad grown to oaks of agony. My weight had been reduced from 207 to 180 pounds. My lite was a torture to myself and friends. I could retain no food upon my stomach, and lived wholly py injections. I was a living mass of pain. My pulse was uncontrolable. In m^ agony I frequently fell upon the floor, convulsively clutched the carpet, and prayed for death. Morphine haa little or no effect in deadening the pain.' For six days and nights 1 baa the death-premonitory hiccoughs constantly. My urine was filled with tube casta and albumen. I was struggling with Bright's disease of the kidneys in ita last stagea.

Dllity of the

While suffering thus I received a call from my pastor, the Rev. Dr. Foote,rector of Si. Paul's church, of this city. I felt that it was our last Interview, but in the course of conversation he mentioned a remedy of which I had beard much but had never used. Or. Foote detailed to me theqnany remarkable eures which had come under his observation, by means of this remedy, and urged mo to try it As a practicing physician ate dice practitioners, and derided the idea of any medicine outside the regular channels being tbefeaat beneficial. So solicitous, however, was Dr. Foote, that I finally promised I would wave my piejudioe and try the remedy he so highly recommended. I began its use on the first day of June and took it according to directions. At fint it sickened me but this thought waa a good sign for one in my debilitated condition. 1 continued to take it tbe dA^ning sensation departed and 1 was able to retain food upon my stomach. In a few days I noticed a decided change for the better also did my wife and friends. My and I experienced leas pain formerly. I waa ao rajofeed at this im1 condition that, open what I bad bebat a few days before waa my dying bed, I vowed, ii the penance of ay family and friends, sfcouftl I rseover I would both publicly and privately make

publicly

known this mnsedy for the good of hawherever and whenever I fed opportunity. I slao determined thai I wood give a causae of leuinies in the Oat-

Ho® thtf 'tina, ta 'fcfw fbafeUm* months I had gained )96 ponnds in flesh, became entirely free from pain and I behove I owe my whole life and peeasnt condition wholly to Warner** Safe Kidney aad Liver Cure, tfaareasedy whichluaed.

Since my recovery I have themuddy re» invaetigaled the anMect ofkidaey 3iflcultieeand Bright's diaease, aad the truths developed arc astounding. I therefore state, deliberately, and aa a physician, that I believe MOKU mw ORMUIP *n» nuni wain ooont tn ana CAPBKD nr Buairt Dianaan or ran Knnrnvs. This nuy sound like a rash statement, but I am prepared totally verify it Bright's Disease has no distinctive symptoms of its own, (indeed, it often da* velope without aay pain whatever in tho kidneys or their vicinity), but haa tho symptoms of neatly every other known complaint. Hundreds ot people die dally, whose burials are authorized by a phyalcian's certificate of "Heart Diaease," "Apoplexy," "Paralysis,'* "Spinal Ownplaint," "Rheumatism," "neamonla." and other common, complaints, when in reality it was Bright's Disease of the Kidneys. Few physicians, and fewer people, realize the extent of this disoaw or ita dangerous and insidious naturesIt steals into the system like a thief, manifests its

n^^Titeelf upon the eonstitot^b^re the victim is aware. It is nearly as hereditaiy as consumption, quite as com* mon and fully as fatal. Entire families, from inheriting it their anceetors, have died, and yet none of the numbefrkoeff or realized the mysterious power which' was removing them. Instead of common symptoms it often shows none whatever, but brines death suddenly, and aa such is usually supposed to'be heart disease. A* one who bait suffered, and

{nowa

by bitter experience what he sqys, implore every one who roada these words' not to neglect the slightest symptoms of Kidney difficulty. Certain agouv and possible death will be thesum result of such neglect, and no oou can afford to hazard sucn chances. 1 am aware that such an unqualified statement as this coming from me, known as I em throughout the entire laud as a practitioner. aud, lecturer, will arouse thesurpc»9c aud possible animosity of the medical profession and astonish all with whom I am acquainted, but I make the foregoing statements based upon facts which I am prepared te produce, and truths which I can substantiate to the letter. Tbe welfare of tbose who may possibly be sufferers such as I waa, is an ample inducement for tac t» take the step I have, and If 1 can successfully wan others from tho dangerous path in Which I once walked, I am willing to endure all professional aad personal coo sequences.

DEATH BY SUICIDE.

George W- Shoemaker, Ex- Chief of Polica of Tom Haute, Poiaom /"Himself at the Spencer

A House.

Prom thA Indianapolis Journal. George W. Shoemaker, traveling man, committed suicido yesterday at the Spencer House under ^ery peculiar circamstances. A few days ago he was found to have forged the name of Oliver Johnson to a draft on the Meridian Nation Bank for a small amount. He compromised the case in such away that Le escaped serieu) trouble, and for pi few day she was absent from tbe city. Last Saturday evening lie returned andregia* ist?red at the Spencer House under tbe asumed name of "G. W. Shew." He said that be would be in tbe city for a day or two, and would like to have one of tbe best rooms in the house. His request was complied with, and he was given* pleasant quarters on the third floor. He acted somewhat strangely when he left the office, but tbe clerk, thinking that ho was ill, did not pay any especial attention to him. Sunday morning be sent down stairs for his breakfast, and at noon for his dinner. Whet) the latter meal was taken to bim the clerk visited bis room and attempted to get in, but Shoemaker refused to admit liiin, saying that he had OLly neuralgia, and would be well in a short timet He again sent for his meal in tbe evening, so tbat during his stay at' the house he did not appear in the office after the time he registered. Yesterday morning the chambermaids heard btm breathing very heavily, and called the attention of the proprietors to him. They tried to get into his rooms, but ha had locked the ball door, aad the only way aa entrance could, be affected waa through the transom opening into an ad-joining-room. When the proprietors entered ho was unconscious and unable to speak. Dr. S. F. Hodges was sent for, and after examining tbe patient said tbat be waa suffering from tho effects of morphine. The stomech pump and other remedies were ineffectually applied and after several hours oi unconscious* ness he died.

Cironer Maxwell viewed the 'remains. sOon after death* and examined his personal effects. It was learned that he waa for five years Chief of Police «t Terre Haute, and ha* lately been doing same work for the Jacksonville Sulky Plow Works.

Lying on the floor were the charrod remains of two pieces of paper, and in his pockets were discovered some checks tbat were filled out identically the sOme as those that were receatly declared to be foreerles. Shoemaker knew of hia danger of anrest and it is thought that he was keepiag concealed. The theory Of tho officers is that be committed iuteide to escape exposure aad paarfshmeat. Hia wife haa been visiting Menda atMaiott Park, and waa these last evening whan informed of the death of her husband. She suppoaed ha waa in Illinois aad was altfrated when she heard of his trouble*.
