Hope Miller of Jasper county held meeting last Sabbath at Pine Grove and,we have been informed that his meetings have been continued for the few days since with goo I success. Several have professed the Christian faith and the prospect is good for an extensive ingathering. Rev. Miller has performed much hard labor in that locality, for which he is entitled to great gratitude from the Christian world. Since his advept into Jasper county, he hasexplo ed and occupied severnl other destitute Helds with similar success. Hs has proved himself to be a faithful and success ful worker. Should the State succeed in securing'his services in the Northwestern prison as Chaplain, we feel confident that the choice will be well placed and the many convicts will be graciously benefited by such an appointment.

The portrait" of our Senator, as drawn by “Jefferson” for the Ihdianapolis Sentinel, will be recognized as very correct: BON. GEORGE MAJOR. Hailing from Remington, as the Senator from the counties of Benton. Jasper, Newton and White, nominal ed by the Nationals and indorsed by the Demociacy, Senator Major appears in his seat as a venerable print e in Israel. He was born in Hamilton County, 0., in 1819. When 11 years old he was brought by bis father to Clinton County. Ind., where he lived until 1854, when he moved to Jasper County. He now resides in Benton count . In 1874 he was elected from his pres cot district to the Senate as an Independent, and in 1.578 he was re-elect-ed as a National and Democrat. Senator Major is a gentleman of the tenderest sensibilities. He has the mild dignity of the manners of a court, without any of its display or pretensions. His sterling honesty has given him the confidence of four counties, and he sits here in the Senate as one who knows his duty and dares to perform it. Ths tongue of misrepresentation can not disturb his present equilibrium, and the eve of envy can not frown him down.

[lndianapolis Sentinel, Jan. 22<’.J

The Legislature of Indiana yesterday responded magnificently to the will of the majority of the people of Indiana, in making Hon. Daniel W, Voorhees United States Senator for the short and long term. The Legislature, while adorning Mr. Voorhees with senatorial robes, covered itself with glory, all the more notable from the fact that the honors were conferred on the first ballot, and without resort to a joint session. We congratulate the meh who voted for Mr. Voorhees; we congratulate the people of Indiana, whoeerepresentatives exhibited unwavering fidelity to the r choice, and we congratulate Mi Voorhees upon a triumph which was won by his unflinching devotion to the right, aqd which, in ita far read -

ing consequences will be hailed with rejoicings by a vast majority of the people of the United States. The work was well done, quickly done» grandly done. - * Every patriotic pulseneat was in unison; the friends of the right stood shoulder to shoulder; every word was confidence and every vote victory. The campaign of 1878 culminated in the vote for senator. The mud batteries of opposition were silenced. The streams of vituperation may run high or low hereafter, partisan malignity has done its most an I its worst. The furnace of paitisan hate has been heated seven times hotter for Mr. Vocrhees than for al most any other man whom the people have delighted to honor, but through all of these ordeals he has come forth with a character untarnished and a statesmanship brighter for the trials through whi h it has passed. The great state of Indiana has plactd itself between him and those who so’t to defame him she has placed the civic erown upon his brow and enthroned him as the champion of t b e right of the people, and given his magnificent abilities to the country. Mr. Voorhees entered the Senate of the United S ates under embarrassing circumstances; he succeeded Senator Mortop, the recognized leader of the Republican party in the Senate and in the country, and it was thought by his opponents that the renown or the State, and its influen je in the councils of the Government would suffer irreparable loss by the change. Such, however, has not been the vase. Senator Voorhees has not only filled the position made vacant by the death of Senator Morton, but has given the State additional importance by his heroic advocacy of measures calculated to repair the damage consequent upon the vicious legislation which his predecessor advocated. Senator Voorhees is no w in the matured prime of life, and for the next six years will devote his great intellectual resources to the advancement of the prosoerity of the country, Again we congratulate tiie senator elect, tne people of the State and the Legislature upon yesterday’s great work.
