THURSDAY, MARCH 12,1885.

HENRT WARD BEECHKR expresses

himself as "reatly pleased with Cleve-

Tn.'f. .lee

broihtT-'.u-laws

SOMEBODY struck... Representative Bowtell in the eye the other day and Mr. B. is afraid he will find out who did it. So long as the matter is wrapped in mystery of course he is not called on to vindicate his honor.

COMMENT on the Cabinet of Prtsidtni Cleveland in the press of the country is almost uuiver sally favorable. Whatever of criticism is indulged »n rests on the fact that it is not geographically well balanced, there being two members from New York and none from the central section r-t tbe West.

Pua^IDENT CLEVELAND is starting "UT well. His Cabinet is compoutd of the "very best material in tbe party. Now •he baa appoint'o Gitf. John C. Black uimiseioner of Pensions, the position

.( *.1 by Dudley for partisan purposes. n. Black lives at Danville, 111. He ie an excellent and honorable gentleman very respect, and daring the civil v,- iir he was oue of the bravest and best Genvrals on the side of the Union. He bas frequently been heard on public topics here in Terre Haute. We look the Pension Bureau bti efficieil'.y -id ministered usder Gen. Black.

TERRE HAUTE is now on her knees before the Oliver Chilled plow company, begging that beggar of free advertising, to locate in Terre Haute limits. {Roekville Signal.

Within the past few days the opinion has been gaining evidence that the Olivers never intended to leave South Bend. As the matter now stands they played a bold game of bluff on the people of South Bend and succeeded in extensively advertising their establishment. Barnum could not have managed the matter more adroitly.

THE "OGRESS VVTIIOA has just ENDED Ms not been distinguished for much sueo^ssiul or startling legislation accomplished. This was not from lack of opportunity, since in the House. 8286 I)!]!,-* stud 345 joint resolutions were introduced in two sessions, with about 3000 niOit- in 'bs Sena'e. But tlure was a Pre*i nfci*l c-tmp-'ii^n thrust ir between the vwo sessions, and politics interfered largely with the business of law-makiDg. iSome very good measures, however, have b'^en enacted into laws. Among thtm are tbe bills establishing a Bureau of Labor reducing newspaper postage: assisting the American merchant marine relieving ceitaii- soldiers ot tbe charge oi -desertion prohibiting the importatiou of loreigu contract labor, and forfeiting the iand grant of the Texas Pacific railroad. Amoug the more noticeable bills which •laikd of passage were the Morrison tariff bill the Blair educational bill: that Tegulttiing tte Presidential succession to suspend j-ilvir coinage for newspaper copyright for providing for a commission on the fclcoholic liquor traffic and the anti-polygamy bill. But tbe country is to be con era. ulated that so little vicious legislation was passed, and that *o little of any kind wa? absolutely needed. Yet the fact hat about 11,000 bills &re introduced during the lite ot one Congress is an indication of the tendency to gtvon tco

Cleveland Startles the White House. WASHINGTON, March 7.—The Critic says: President Cleveland introduced some innovations at the White House yesterday. The Executive Mansion has scarcely ever witnessed so early a breakfast, and the library, usually controlled until noon by the sweepers and house cleaners, was the scene of an industrious gathering, composed of the President, his private secretary, and stenographer, at an unprecedently early hour. In addition to this, Mr. Cleveland found time to receive everybody that wanted to see him, and to show the' public that their wishes were as important as his convenience. As if this were not enough for one day, Mr. Cleveland taught the dignified marshal that introductions at a public levee are a meaningless and senseless formality, and that he would reoeive the thousands of callers without presentations. A President who is an early riser and a hard worker, and who regards convenience and common sense as better guides than time-honored custom, etiquette, and precedent, is indeed a surprise. The first day of the new, Administration was one of surprise at the White House, but one that gives the utmost satisfaction to all concerned.

*y Fox Drive. .*,

~Mftrnh 7th there was a grand fox drive in Nevins, which was the result of a great deal of sport notwithstanding the inclement weather. We circled one fox mill put five in for a chase-after Mr. Fox. They give him a pretty close chase and then cornered him up too close when he broke through and got out where the people were about five deep. After he was once out he was charged upon by Mr. Hubbard, who was ready with a double barreled shot-gun, but all to no effect—he walked (or ran) away unharmed. All seemed to enjoy themselves hugely and were in a perfect good humor.

Sucn ideas are gradually gaining afoothold in this country, as is manifest from the clamor for a civil pension list for exPresidents. The spectacle of an exPresident going to work for his living is needed once in awhile to assure us that public office is still a public truet, and that we still have men who can hold the Chief Magistracy and retire with clean hands.

THAT the Indiana Legislature failed to pass the appropriation bills Saturday and so be in readiness for adjournment, is a matter which, viewed in any and in every light, is a misfortune. An extra session will now become a necessity. It has already been called b^ the Governor, but with evident reluctanoe for he, too, regrets that the business of the Legislature was not finished within the regular session. For an extra session by no means all the members are responsible. Indeed it is possible under the rules for a very few members to so obstruct legislation during the closing days of the session as to prevent the passage of the appropriation bills. No Legislature has ever yet done it, but it would be a red letter session in the history of the state if the appropriation bills were attended to first of all and all other matters left over until the last half. In that event if some bills about which there were irreconciteable differences of opinion did not pass, no great harm would be done and the Legislature could adjourn leaving the matter to its successor.

%L00D ON THE MOON. v.-,

Missouri's Governor Called a Liar and a Scoundrel by a Gallant Colonel.,s

ST. LOUIS, March 10. The personal and political controversy which has raged with more or less animosity for some time past between Gov. Marmaduke, of this state, and Major C. C. Rainwater, a prominent citizen of St. Louis and possible Democratic candidate for Mayor of this city, has just assumed another and very bitter phase and one likely to attract general attention. Yesterday Gov. Marmaduke gave out to reporters at Jeifferson City as news an affidavit bearing the signature of Robert C. Pate, a well known horseman and keeper of keno rooms in this city, alleging that in 1875 he paid money for the privilege of running keno rooms here, and that his understanding was the money was for the benefit of L. Harrigan, chief police of the city, and Major Rainwater, who was then the executive officer of the board of public commissioners.

To-day Major Rainwater publishes an open letter to Governor Marmaduke, in which he treats the matter in the most bitter and scathing terms. He denounces the affidavit as a most infamous lie and believes that those who read it will agree with him that the man who becomes a party to the circulation of such an outrageous statement on such a basis is a trifle worse than he scoundrel who originated the story, be that man a gambler or a governor.

Major Harrigan, who is again Chief of Police, also pronounces the affidavit a monstrous lie, and states that a written acknowledgement that it is a lie. is in existence.

The Captain is a good citizen, and an excellent man when allowed to have his own way, but when he closes his article with: "The church is now and has for the last fifty years furnished all the amusements that sanctified human nature stands in need of," it seems a waste of space to "talk back."

THE TERlfE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

Asbury's New Church.

Saturday, the Asbury church trustees purchased 100 ft front by 200 ft deep, of Mrs. Sarah Deming, on the south-east corner of Sixth and Oak streets, paying for it $80 per foot, or $8,000. The new Asbury church will lie erected upon this lot .,

The building plan is now definitely under way. The church has been granted a clear title to their old property, which they will sell. It is worth

robably over $15,000. The M. E. Society, a branch organized by Asbury, and which ovms some church property but is unable to support a minister, has consented to sell the property for the benefit of the new church. The amount necessary to raise subscription to build .the new chur is about $20,000, of which amount, about half has been subscribed.

This afternoon the quarterly conference will convene in order to give the trustees official permission to sell the church property. The Mont Rose society will turn over to the trustees $500 ifl Cash which they possess in addition to their church.

To-night the struggle of the architects takes place. The plans for the new building will be decided upon this evening.

No subscription paper has yet been started, but the following sums have been subscribed in advance.

Ben Blanchard .$5,000 Miss Alma Blanchard 1,000 E. M. Walmsley 1,500 G. W. Eppert 1,000 George Faris 600 Mrs. Dr. Insley 500 Henry Deming 500 Ben Alvey 600 Mont Rose Society 500

THE INTERNAL REVENUE.

Gossip About That Department That Will be of Interest to Office Seekers. There are three Internal Revenue Collectors in Indiana. They are located at Indianapolis, Kokomo and Terre Haute. Neither the Collectors or their subordinates come under the civil service rules and as a consequence they will be the first to go under the new administration.

commission runs is appointed

Collector Carter's only until his successor ancfqualified. Here in Terre""Haute there are six guagers, four storekeepers, two depnty collectors, two office clerks and one traveling deputy, fifteen in alL They are all good positions. The guagers make an average of $5 per dity and the storekeepers get a regular salary of $4 per day. Outside the clerical force of the department the storekeeper is looked upon as the softest position. The guager's responsibility will appall some of the gentlemen who are hunting that position. All his mistakes are charged to him. If he over-guages in favor of the government he has to pay the balance to the distillery and if he undercharges in favor of the distillery he has to pay the government. One of the employes of the department told a GAZETTE writer to-day that a very good exguager had to pay $75 in one month when he first began.

The guagers on duty here are Groendyke, Simpson, Campbell, Small, Rose and Raridon. The storekeepers are Jones, Cnmmings, Connelly and Adams. The. two deputies are Madison and Hensley. The clerks are Perkins and Matzinger and the traveling deputy is Sluss.

There are thirty-three counties in Major Carter's district. Terre Haute is

the principal place, however, and has as many employes as all the rest put together. There is an office deputy and a traveling deputy at Lafayette, an office deputy, traveling deputy, and storekeeper and guager (in one) at New Albany, an office deputy and traveling deputy at Tell City, and two guagers for the southern district. The Collector does not directly appoint his subordinates, although it amounts to nearly the same thing, as be recommends the men and they are generally appointed.

The ntw secretary WW e^cortcd to the de. partmeot by the retiring Secretary, who called at his house for him. Soon alter their arrival Mr. McCulloch presented Assistant Secretaries French and Coon to the Secretary. Mr. Manoicg, who had not yet taken the oath, said he woud probably qualify during the day, but as he did not propose to enter actively into the business of the office until Monday he requested Assistant Secretary Coon to sigd the mail tor him to-day as acting secretary. Mr Manning and Mr. McCulloch then retiied to the Secretary's private offloe and remained closeted together several hours talking ever the business and personnel of the depart meut. A large number of persons called to pay their respects to the new decretory, but were denied admission.

Secretary McCulloch said yesterday in speaking oi the change in administration, that he took it for granted Mr. Manning shared the views of President Cleveland on tbe question of finance ted as tbe Present's view on that subject is in accord with his own he did not anticipate any change in' the piesent financial policy of the government,

Gen. Hazen.

It is understood that Gen. Haz£n h£9 wriiten a letter to the new Secretary of War, asking that no steps be taken to dissolve the court martial recently oriered to try that official, having been esimated such action would be taken by President Cleveland, and requesting that he maybe tried in justice to bimse'f.

Moving Day In the Cabinet. In the state, war, and navy department buildings this morning the retiring sccretnries bade the chieis and clcrks who de ved under them good bye, and complimented them on their services. Secretaries Frelinghuysen and Lincoln met their subordinates in the offices which tbe heads of tbe state and war departments have occupied. Secretary Chandler called upon his subordinates in their respective rooms. No official business ot any character was transacted by retiring officers. Prior to the incoming secretaries taking the oath of office the building was filled with visitors: CongresFmaa elect Wheeier, of Alabama, headed the delegation that entered the apartment occupied by the tecretary o* the navy. The members oi the delegation were men above the average size and tiumbered about a dczeo. 7 hey were introduced to the retiring secretary t-veiy oue ae a General and a Col nel. Chandler, a man small in stature, quietly folded his hands in front ot him and plaintively remarked: "Gentlemen give me time to pray." When he turned to vV heeler and was about to ask "Wbeie are the Judges?", helound tbe Congress man-elect had left the room for a moment, but he soon returned with four Alabamiana, to all of whom he gave the title "Judge". A general laugh followed and the party then engaged in conversation.

Sworn In.

Promptly at 12 o'clock four of Presidtnt Cleveland's Cabinet, Bayatd, Whitney, Endicott and Garland, entered the office ot the Secretary ot State. Mrs. Endicott, wile of the new Secretary ot War, accompanied tbe party as did also Justice Field of the Umud St&teri Supreme Court. Immediately after enen ng Bayard took the oath of office which was "given by Justice Field. Secy. Frelinghuysen and ex-Assistant Sec. Davis were prtsent, also Senator Payne, of Ohio, and ex-Attorney General Pierrepont. The party then went to the room occupied by Secy. Chandler where Whitney took the •ath of office &s Secretary ot the Navy. In Secy. Lincoln's office, where Lt. Gen. Sheridan and staff and other officers ot the war department had assembled, ..the oath was administered to Endicott. Mrs. ED. icott entered the room on the arm of Bayard. As soon as Justice Field bad •tdaiinigtered the oath various army officers were in turn introduced to the new secretary by Mr. Liucoia. Attorney General Garland was sworn into office at the department ot justice. The oatn «»s administered by Justice Field in the presence of Ex-Attorney General Brewster, Secretaries Bayard, Manning, Whitney, Endicott and Lamar and a few others.

given a cbance to countersign it. .After its signature by the President he sent for it in order that there might be no delay in making the appointment. Secretary Lincoln took the commission to the Executive Mansion in person and banded it to the President, remarking, that he had not yet acted upon it because he thought Judge Endicott would be pleased to attend to it as one of his first official aulief." "That was very thoughtful in you, Mr. Lincoln" observed the President.

have no doubt it would be a pleasure to Judge Endicott. I w1!! sign it myself that there taaj be1 no d». lay, then Judge Endicott can countersign it."

President Clevaland thereupon affixed his signature. The oommission after the official record was made, was returned to the War department. This morning it was on the desk of the new Secretary of War and the first official act of Secretary Endicott was to countersign it.

More Oaths of Office.

Postmaster General Vilas and Secretary Lamar also took the oath of office and entered upon the discharge of their duties. Thsre was little formality in tbe ceremony. In both cases the oatns were administered by Justice Field in the presence ot Secretary Bayard, Attorney General Garland and others.

A Word to Offloe 8eekersThe President notified his private secretary that he does not propose to receive persons who call in regard to appointments as he is desirous that all applications ot that character shall be acted upon by the head of the department to which they belong.^

It was the first appointment acted on after the Senate dead lock four years ago which caused such long delay. Mr. Jones did not take the office till the 17th, the interval being occupied in the necessary formalities of bond etc, etc. "I have my valise jpartly packed," he remarked smiling this morning "and am ready to go on a moment's notioe, but I really expect to stay here till the 3rd of May." "What business will you engage in." "Well I don't know.
