Legislature will repeal the Baxter law. If it is done Republican votes will have to do it. Several of the Democratic Sen ators who hold over are in favor of it. One, Mr. Ringo, of Clay and Owen counties, at a district temperance convention held in Terre Haute on Thursday, said that he would not only vote against repealing it, but would endeavor to have more stringent provisions added to it. It is understood that Andrew Humphries, of Green and Daviess counties, a new Senator, is in favor of retaining the law.—Indianopolit Newt.

Senator Harney, of this county, is another Democrat, we think, who may safely be put down as against the repeal of the law.

Blind Justice.

Laura Ream, in one of her Indianapolis letters to the Cincinnati Commercial,

"The happiest man in this District, perhaps in the State, is Luke Walpfle, a successful candidate for Justice of the Peace. He is totally blind, having lost his eyesight by scarlet fever when a mere child. His deceased father was a lawyer of eminent ability, and before and since his death Luke has been in the habit of attending all the proceedings of the courts, until he is qualified to pass judgment on any point of law.

days. The books of travel, the journal?. and the letters which have come down to us from our grandfather's times are filled with praises of ihc glad cheer of the liostelries at which the writer supped, ol the portly and jolly landlords, the 1 cheery lire's, the warm and comfortable beds, and the miracles o! cookery which appeared upon the tables. 1\ rhaps much ol this is due to the relief which even humble accommodations would offer to a

weary traveler, alter a day's ride on horseback through mud and rain, and the uood appetite that the open air exer cise'brought was better than a French sauce for the viands. This must be the explanation otherwise men could not be ."ltogeiher comfortable in hotels which had no clerks with immaculate shin fronts and Kohinoor diamonds—when there were no elevators or patent annunciators, where the porters ceased troubling and the bell-boys were at peace.

These little scraps of paper are exceedingly suggestive. Think of the showing in the first bill, where a gentleman in I the younger Adams' day was able to meet his whole expenses for a week 011 I the modest sum of $3.37. including lux- I uries as well as substantial*. He is able to entertain his friends also at the same economical rate. When the Governor visits him—and Governors were fearful and womlerful personages in those days —take William Allen for a well perserved specimen—we may be sure the Major entertained him in the princely style befitting his exalted rank the entire expense of the affair for the Governor r.nd a portion of his family was only fifty cents—a modest half dollar—the price of a couple of the good l'artagas which ner. 111-

publican parties, which cmjed in the elevation of Jackson to the Presidency." That was in the good old times, an era before railroads and swift migration had come to destroy the esseence of hospitalitv, when those who stopped at a hotel— or tavern, as it was usually denominated where in reality "guests," since the to the liethat he was really exercising a hospitality to friendly visitors, the same as if he were a country gentleman of large means and social disposition the only difference being that inexorable lie- I cessity requiring that each guest should contribute something to keep the establishment up.

strange and rare compounds could that have been composed to have raised its price to a shilling, when transient board was only $0 a week, and hospitality could be extended to a Governor for fif-

tv cents per diem. Of course every "old timer" will tell you that the quality of liquor is steadily deteriorating, but the prices do not seem to have the same 1 downward tendency.

Then, there is the Detroit bill. After stopping for an indefinite time—we are sorry the bill is not more explicit on this point—at the best house in the then principle city of the West, the Major finds himself indebted to the propiietor for, §5.25 for board, 1S:| cents for liquids consumcd at the bar—(again we must express our regrets at the indefiinteness of the bill)—washing 87-\ cents and Governor Trimble's bill, 02A cents It costs -12A more to entertain a Governor here, it will be seen, than it did iu Maumee,

living in a great city like Detroit then claimed to lie, and iu one which only expected to be great soon, as Maumee did at that time.

Indiana went for Hendricks in October, 1872, and within thirty days gave 20,000 majority for Grant. That shows what Republicans can do when they try. How would it do to try in the new '70 —Attica Ledger.
