SENATOR VOORHKES

deserves the

thanks of the people of Torre Haute and Yigo county for having secured the passage through the Senate Thursday of his bill, providing lor the erection of a government building here. It is to be hoped now that it can be pushed through the House by Representative Pierce. Terre Haute needs a building of this sort, and the sooner it is put up the better.

SENATOR VOORHEES

introduced a bill

in the senate yesterday to increase the pensions ot persons who have lost a leg or an arm, or have been permanently disabled in the military or naval service. It increases the pensions of such persons from $36 to $48 per month, and provides that they shall be paid the difference between these sums monthly from Feb. 28th, 1877, to the time of the approval of this act. This is an act the passage of which will briug joy to the homes of many heroes of the war who were permanently iujured in the conflict.

PATRICK SHANNON, it must not be forgotten by the honest citizens, business men and tax payers of Vigo county, is now as he has always been the proprietor of the weekly Ledger, a paper which has earned the right to be called the organ of the thieves and thugs. Patrick Shannon is in sole charge of it, his faithless poppy having gone away and left him to fight alone the courts and bear bear alone the contempt and detestation of the people of igo counly. The business man that patronizes his paper and the citizen that takes it are accessories, as it were, to his monstrous and indubious schemes for plundering the people of this

county.

IK Riley township the prospects 1or the election of A. A. Gordon Trustee, and the -whole Democratic tieket are excellent. There is on every hand a very general recognition ot the fact that Mr. Gordon has the ability and force of character to make one of the very best trustees that Riley or any other township ever had. This belief is so widespread and the public confidence in him as a man of hono» and integrity is so general that it is believed his vote will be by no means confined to members of his own party but will embrace citizens generally. In their despair at finding anything to say against a man whose character is above reproach and whose record is unassailable an absurd story has been started to the effect that a pleasant social gathering held several weeks ago at the house of an old resident of the township was not what it purported to be but was really a

political caucus. This story would amount to but little if it were true and it amounts to nothing at all since it is wholly and entirely false. That it has been started at all is much to Mr. Gordon's credit for it shows how utterly at a loss those who are trying to beat hinp are for something to say against him. It is the best acknowledgement in the world that his record and his character are all right and will do lor the voters to tie to. It may be said in this connection that the rest of the ticket is composed of excellent men and the prospect! for the election of the entire ticket were never belter

ABOUT OURSELVES.

During the past two months the increase in the circulation of the weekly issue of the

GAZETTE,

has been waging a vigorous and uncompromising warfare in the interest of the honest, decent and reputable cittzens and tax payers of Vigo county, against Patrick Shannon and his methods of absorbing the substance of the people. That righteous and just fight we propose to continue. We have scarce begun it yet. Our arsenal is filled with fixed ammunition which, as the various suits against him come up in the courts, will bo fired at short range and will do execution. So far we have succeedcd in choking the life nearly out of his personal organ, the Ledger, which he owns, controls an! can. not g*t rid of, for no one will take it with the mountain of obloquy attaching to it as the property of this monstrous plunderer of the public. Out of the wreckage of this sinking concern the

GAZETTE

ZETTK

has received

many subscribers in the persons of citizens who would not longer take so obscene a publication as it is into their households, and who particularly objected as individuals to maintaining a concern which waa used to assist "its owner in plundering them as taxpayers. On this head it is sufficient to say that the

will prosecute to the bitter end

its exposure, ot thte infamous outrages perpetrated on this community by this unlicensed plunderer.

The second cause of the gratifying increase in circulation is that with much greater faeilitiesjthan hithertoenjoyed the management is able now to print a much better paper than ever before—to devote more space and time to its telegraphic news of the Associsted Press from all over the world, to its market reports and to a lull and complete reporting of all local news. We have not been given to boas ing in the past and we now think we can truly say that the

WBKKI.Y GAZETTE

has

no superior in the state as a newspaper and few equals—none in this Congres sional district. At $1.50 per year it is a remarkably cheap paper.

We hope our friends will continue the good work ot extending the circulation— that tney will come to see us and bring with them, as many have already done, from one to a dozen new subscribers. With proper help during the next month a thousand new subscribers can and will be added to our lengthening list.

THE

Democracy of Lost Creek town

ship in nominating Horace Chamberlain for Trustee have set an example that ought lobe commended.

Mr. Chamberlain, we understand, was not nominated as a Democrat but as a man perfectly Iree from prejudice, honest and capable, and in full accord with the progressive spirit of the times.,

In his hands the school interests of the township would be perfectly safe, and the poor of the township would find in him a sympathizing friend. Economical in his habits and honest by nature, the taxpayers of Lost Creek need have no fears that their burdens will be increased or their substance wasted.

Mr. Chamberlain has taken no active pari in politics for some time—he is in fact anon partisan—but if we mistake not his sympathies are with the National party. The Nationals of Lost Creek must feel complimented by his unanimous nomination and will without doubt give him an enthusiastic support., fv

THE parting between Patrick Shannon and the thiet Hunt, who robbed his bank, and who is now at large to rob other banks and other establishments of all kinds, was a very agreeable affair. They associated as cronies on the*evening of Mr. Hunt's release from jail and departure from town for fresh fields of plunder. They drank togetner and were very sociable. Mr. Hnnt merely made a mistake in the bank he and his partners selected for their operations. It was a mistake on his part to select as his victim a gentleman who practiced a bolder and less scrupulous raid on Vigo county and secured $2,000 which he is trying harder to keep than Mr. Hunt did to keep his money. That there ought to be honor among—gentlemen (?), was doubtless a point of agreement between them as they quaffed their beer.

SENATOR VOORHEES offered a resolution in the Senate, Thursday, which was adopted, directing an enquiry and report by the military committee whether that section of the Revised Statutes declaring that persons honorably dischaag-

cd from military cr naval service by reason of disability resulting from wounds or sickness incurred in the line ol their duty, shall be preferred for appointments to civil offices, provided they possess the necessary capacity for the proper dis

charge

of the duties of such offices, is

in full force, or has been repealed or modified also, whether it has been openly disregarded and violated whether it applies to provost, deputy provost marshals, quartermasters and sutlers not disabled-, and whether additional legislation is necessary to cause the section to be enforced by the various departments.

CONSIDERABLE

has been greater

than during any similar period in the history of the paper. For this gratifying increase the management of the paper ascribe two reasons. First is the fact that for nearly two months the

GAZETTE

space is given in this

paper to a report of a meeting held in Prairieton last week, by the farmer? of that township, for the purpose oi agitating the stock law question. This ie a movement which has sound sense at the bottom ol it and a wrong to be righted and will go on until it has not only spread over

every

township in this county but

over eveiy one in the State. It does not seem to be necessary for us to' make any comment. The report tells of what was done. The farmers are taxing hold of it in earnest and they know what they are about and they have away of talking to the point which makes comment unnecessary. Th%t it is a movement which ought to succeed and will succeed the GAZETTE believes and it intends to follow the discussion with full reports from now until the end.

A curious wreck took place on the E. & T. H., at Sullivan, last night about 9 o'clock. Freight train No. 21 bound south in charge of Conductor Peter Herb and Engineer Henry Ott was wrecked by the engine jumping a "frog." But for the narrow guage crossing the locemotive might have retained the perpendicular. This crossing threw it over and seventeen cars, all empty but one were ditched. Fortunately no one was hurt but a very tedious delay to north and south bound passengers was caused. The debris could not be removed without the wrecking train which could not be made up at Evansville until 11 o'clock.

SHOT AT, BUT MISSED.

The Result of a Quarrel Yesterday Between Two Colored Me« -W -JTA «.

A shooting affray took place on Ohio street in front of Henry Ehreahardt's saloon yesterday atternoon between Nelson Saulters and Peter Dale, both colored. The two principals, together with several other colored men, had been in Ehrenhardt's saloon drinking. It appears from the evidence adduced before Justice Steinmehl this morning that 8aulters and Dale had some words in the saloon and .Dale followed Saulters out on the sidewalk, where the lormer fired one shot at the other. The shot was not aimed to hit, and missed Saulters "by a large majority." Both men were arrested by Lieutenant Vandever and Policemen Smith and Gott and locked up in jail. Saulters is known to be a troublesome fellow. Dale is a well dressed man and evidently a stranger.

A charge ot simple assault and battery was brought against Dale this morning and a charge of provoke against Saulters

"All through advsrtising," remarked ex-Mayor Gregory, to us as he went homeward with a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, "that I bought this. Your paper contains many wonderful cures—of course they are facts—and so I thought I'd try a bottle for the rheumatism.—[Madison, Wis., Democrat.

TONY PASTOR IN TROUBLE, Tony Pastor, of New York, who is now with bis inimitable variety combination, making a tour of the principal cities of of the Union, is recognized as the leading character vocalist and variety performer of the United States. He owns and runs a first-class theatre on Broad way, New York City, and has gathered about him the best troupe of variety art ists that could be obtained. The company has just.completed a brilliant engagement at tbe Walnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia, and after the present tour they will reappear in Tony Pastor's own thea tre in New York City. Mr. Pastor is the originator of bis peculiar school of character singinp, and has made himself immensely popular, having realized by his talents a large fortune.

The writer ot this article met Mr. Pastor recently at the Bingham House, in Philadelphia, and found him as genial in private as he is amusing betore the public. During our conversation I in* quired as to his physical health, and he replied that, notwithstanding the strain upon him in the discharge of his professional duties, it was excellent. He had occasionally severe paius, either tbe result of rheumatic attacks or colds, but any complaints of that character never troubled him long, as he had found out a remedy lor all such annoying affections. I asked htm what the remedy was, and he replied, "St Jacobs Oil." I then learned from Mr. Pastor that he considered the Great German Remedy an excellent preparation for the care or relief of rheumatism, and that it was about tke only thing used among professional people for that distressing complaint. He took bottles of it with him whenever he went traveling, and would not be without it, and knew that it was very popular with a number of members of his own company. A conversation held subsequently with various members of tbe organization revealed the fact that St. Jacobs Oil had been perlorming most invaluable service for them in the way of curing them of rheumatism. Nearly every artiet in the troupe used it, and was enthusiastic in its praise, and the writer was really lorced to the conclusion that Tony Pastor was certainly in luck in having so valuable an article known and employed by his inimitably good company of performers, for it enabled every one to be always in his place, thus insuring comfort to the management and genuine satisfaction to the public. Tony Pastor would certainly be in trouble without 8t. Jacobs Oil. At least, other managers whose artists have been temporarily unsupplied have noticed the difference between 8t. Jacobs Oil in stock and St. Jacobs Oil oat of stock— among the members of their companies. —[New York Clipper.
