Tiie representatives of the people' could easily furnish relief, and the only reason, it is said, that they have permitted these evils to remain so long uncorrected, is th^t there arc too many lawyers in tile General Assembly, and that if there were fewer divorce. cases, their lees would be cur-

eight. So far as can be done by public retraction, an injustice perpetrated by a designing set of men, has thus been wiped out. The Lieut, Coventor has borne himself nobly through this crucial test. He has not allowed persoual resentment or partisan bias to betray him into a

hasty or imparllamentaiT ruling, but

remedy remains to be seen. Mr. laid- ,, he nas discharged hiaduty impartially dell, the Chairman oi the Cimnnttee ... and ably throughout. on Prisons, has introduced a bill

which provides for the government ami discipline of the State Prisons, and for the oversight of county jails. The bill proposes to place the State Prisons and county jails under the supervision of a Board of Managers, lo be appointed by the Governor of whom the Governor, the Chief Justice «f the Supreme Court, and the United States District Judge for the District of the State of Indiana, are to be members cx officio- Reform is badly needed, and it is difficult to tell just what is best. One thing is certain, matters cannot be made wor&e.

TO BENEFIT RAILROADS.

A bill has passed the Senate and is on its third reading in the House authorizing counties and townships to take stock in and make donations to railroad companies. This will be a law in which Montgomery county will be considerably interested. THE DISTEMPER BILL.

Mr. Johnson's bill, (Montgomery's .Mr. .lohnson,) for the prevention of horses afflicted with the distemper from running ori the public highways, has passed to a third reading in the ij Touse. This is the only bill or petition that Mr. Johnson has presented during the whole time he has been here. The cost of electing him the first and second times, and the money he has drawn will amount in the agio about 8"),000. Thus it

I erv rather dearly. But there are

other memuers ot the Legislature who

Tippecanoe, Monroe, Putnam, Hancock and Marion counties are in the lield competing for its location. The bids put in by Tippecanoe, Marion, and Monroe amonnt to about $500,000 each. A vote was taken in

the House last week which indicated

that lippecanoe was the strongest iHw. point. Monroe stands ahead in the Senate. Thus it rests.

THE MORGAN RAIDJiRf.

The Morgan Raid Claims is another swindle which is being attempted to be rushed through this General Assembly. The friends of the swindle -succeeded the other day in getting the bills but of the hands of the standing Committee on Claims, which

The law takes effect immediately under the provisions of the emergency act. It will not affect the duration of the term of office in this county except in case of offices to be filled in April, 1870. This may be regarded as the best measure that has emanated from the Legislature for a long time. It is sensible aad economical.

The recent publication, by certuin

College are sounding the query which stands at the head of this article. If wholesale charges are to be made against individuals or bodies, and no one is to be held responsible for their truth or for the evil effects which the}' may produce, what safeguards are there for a man's reputation

The reputed College communication to the Mirror bears so many evidences of forgery that the card of Mr. Young, disclaiming any part in it, seemed hardly necessary. Its author is not known, and it is hardly possible to think so badly of any one living here as to suspect that any particular individual is the person concerned. But oven if the authenticity of the names signed had been unquestioned, still it seems unfair to publish the communication and make the eharges contained in it stronger,

SWEET POTATO PLANTS.

One of the hundred and lifty lady-1 clerks who recently came into receipt of the yellow official envelope atj Washington, writes to a friend absent in Paris that she is passing through the "Valley ot Humiliation" with a long train of weeping sisters behindl ofiap iw her. She says further: "Kepubliesj are ungrateful. Being unfortunately I a woman, 1 eouid not light and die for my country, but could all the soldiers under my care in the military hospital, during the war, form a brig-' ade, I believe they would march to my rescue, and restore my place atj the point of the bayonet." She adds I\ to this that there are many cases of I extreme distress among the removals I of widows with children, who have no other earthly home, and wishes that! Mr. Boutwell would secure a place for them in that. Hiole in the heavens'' to which he consigned a distinguished person last summer, saying that they would all be thankful for such a retreat. "When we vote," she concludes, "we will have three ladies in the Cabinet, and move one-half of the men from the Departments, and inquire into the character of the rest. Washington will be like the New Jerusalem then, with streets of gold, and the desert and solitary place will blossom as the rose." Let this reform in the civil service take the precedent of Mr. Jenckes' plan, so much talked of, and come with the millennium, which is likely to be just a little in advance of cither, we fear.— Cm.
