An Indianapolis correspondent of the Chicago Tribune has interviewed Buchanan, editor of the Sun and author of

Independents will control the Legislature and prevent the election of any member of "the present eti'etc political organizations" to the U. S. Senate. They propose to nominate a candidate of their own and "sit down by him all Winter." If a Democratic Senator is elected, he says, it will be done by the votes of Republicans. Buchanan classifies the Leg-

In the Senate, the'Lieutenant Goverernor being Republican, they will nominate a Democrat for principal Secretary, a Republican for Assistant, and a Democrat for Doorkeeper. As to the House, they have concluded to allow the selection of the Hon. David Turpie as Speaker, upon whom the Democrats appear to

Both of the political parties are divided 011 the question, which has resolved itself into an issue more strongly marked with sectionalism than any question which has bean raised since the days of slavery.

We pity the man who is a universal grumbler, who can do nothing but snarl

and

giowl, find fault and curse. Better that such a man had never been born. We are led into this chain of reflection by observing the course pursued by some county papers since the election. Morose and sour, they can see nothing but wrong and ruin stalking about. According to them, Democrats, now a majority of

the

people of this country, are all a set of drunken retches, of reoels and vagabonds. We should be yery unhappy if we were compelled to thirk that more than half of the people of the country were political knaves—Frankfort Crescent.

The Republican papers will have to commence early and put in their time mighty faithfully if they ever get even with their Democratic cotemporaries in the grumbling business. For a large portion of the Democratic press the last fourteen years have been nothing bat an era of grumbling and faultfinding.

They will demand the Chairmanship of certain Committees, particularly the one 011 Corporations and the one 011 Agriculture, in return lor their generosity in dividing up the spoils between the two contesting parties. There has been no agreement, no understanding, no caucus, or anything of the sort, between the Independent members but this division of things is about the way it has suggested itself to the executive gentlemen in the capital who fix things for the fiery, and untamed, and virtuous rural Grangers. There is to be a secret meetine of leading Grangers in this city on the 24th inst., at which it is presumable all the Legislators elect will be present, and then and there these little things can be and will be definitely settled.

OBITUARY,

AVM. P. WATSON.

An estimable citizen and one of the pioneers of our city has been lost in the death of W. P. Watson. Mr. Watson was attacked suddenly with erysipelas on Thursday and died early on Sunday morning. He was born in Butler county, Ohio, on the 4th of December, 1804, and therefore had almost completed his three score and ten years. He came to
