Gov. Porter ha great faith in the effic wy of the -semicolon.’ Charles (?. Leland says no rtrd covers so much humbug as “art."— “P< rhans,” muses the Pi ilidelphia Press; “but Keifer’ gives a pretty tigh» race.” And the Indianapolis Sentinel thinks “ ‘Hanna’ is no slouch of a word in this connection.” The “P-ess” and “Sentinel” Are nearer correct than Leland.

An excited negro preacher in WashingiOfi City, concluded his set mon last Sunday night with the declare tion that “the time was coining when all m?n must be free and equal i bicod bud to bi shed to make.them to. ” This black threat was prompted by the dismissal of negro from the nuvy department. These wards of of the Republican party are very important personages.

SENATOR HILLIGAS ON THE LEGISLATURE.

The Hun ington Democrat is edited by Senator Hilligas. He knows just wtiat he Is talking about. In late issues ot bis paper he says: Lieutenant Governor Hanna held the appropriation bill from fifteen to twenty minutes pilot to the final adjournment of the Senate without signing it. and, to complete the infamy, adjourned the Senate in the factor a dozen Senators who were demanding the yeas and nays It was under these feliow Republicans, that Hanna killed the appr ipriation bill Again.: 1 The Republican Legislature of 1881 did not pass the general appropria tion bill until near the close of the special session. In contrast with this the Legislature of 188 J passed the bill during the regular session, but the pigmy, Hanna, who unfortunately for the people of the State—sad especially the Republican party—was President of the Senate, refused to sign rhe bill. Again: It was % part and parcel of heir work of the session to obstruct legis lation. By an understanding with Hanna, the President of the Senate-, the Republican Senators would secure the floor and hold it for twenty-four hours at a time. Hanna even went so far iu these revolutionary proceedings as to snatch bills out of the bonds of the Chairman of the Com mittee on Enrolling Bills and pocket them. More than this, he refused to sign bills passed by the majority. The toe of a No. 9 boot should have been employed to instruct this Hanna in manners and parliamentary law. Again: The Democratic Legislature repealed many odious laws, passed many goad ones, and had the nerve u stand for the right, Hanna and Porter to the contrary notwithstanding. Thereat the Republican press of the State are mad as a March hare. Agdn: The Republican piess of the Sta f e 'W just now filling their column -3 with abuse of the last Legislature. When the Repu licau Legi latureput in loti days and spent nearly $50,000 more than the session just closed, these same R**pub iean organs were as dumb as an oyster. The cost of the Legislature wa SSO 000 less than the Legislature of two years ago. It is unnecessary to say that that the Saving is in favor of the Democratic party and that the taxpayers will rfot forget the fact when they come to vote in 1884, Again, in outlining the work accomplished by the Legislature: > It would be impossible in this article to outl n the work of the Legislature just closed. There was mucu good work done in the interest of the* taxpayers, and we feel safe in saying that the laws passed will, in the ag grtgute, meet with general favor from all classes without regard to party. The Senate passed sixty four Hr use bills, ano the House passed fit ty tour Senate bills. Some o. the most important of those, and in wbkh there is- a very deep interest felt among the taxpayers, can only receive e passing no. ice at this time. 1. The decedents’ estate act. All the obnoxious features of the law of 1881 have been repealed. There is no further use for Master Commissioners, and no more newspaper notice* ot account currents. Administrators are allowed to settle just claims without Court expenses where the amounts do not exceed SIOO. In these three items alone we undertake to say that enough has been saved to the widows and orptia s of Indiana within the coming twelve months to pay the entire expenses of the sess sion of the Legislature just closed. 2. The road law of 1881 has been repealed throughout, and in its stead we have a Supervisors’ law. The law. as it now stands, secures work on the highways as under the law before the passage of the act of 1881. The Township Trustee is made Superin tendent oi all the highways in his Township, whleh is to be divided by him into road districts of not less than six square miles. These districts he is required to number, commencing in the : ortheast corner of the Township, and shall file a correct plat of the same with the Conuty Auditor, the districts to bo subject to change in the mouth of January and every two years thereafter. The Supervisors will be elected at the April election, 1884, until which time such officers are to be appointed by the Trustee. Sixty days in each year is tne longest time the Supervisor may work and he is to receive $1 50 pet day for bis work. When elected he must either serve or pay the sum ot SB, although no person can be compelled to serve uftener than once in six years. By making application to t ie Township Trustee, property owners may work out their tax at the uniform rate. The law will be received with favor by the masses because it enables them to work om tbelr time .nd- land tax. Instead of paylug their a * , by the law that bar been on the statutes fo 3 l^?be < digi»** , “ view of the wide•f 1881 is*one of importance to the :'X’ A d0..-1* ■ “° h T.lw“£ of this paper we publish the law in full for P he information of our readers. It has an emergency clause, and

hence applies ! o tne.Asses-or* this spring, who » • required, under Its provh/ons to list all th j dogs of their Township.

4. The me Hen law is also worthy of went on a’ itsei ures mor" certainly than ever before in tl Is State the wages of laboring men in a m chanh*» lien upon their employer s p operty. 5. An act to enable the several Counties of the B*ate to sell and disprs’ of lands forfeited to the S'ate for the use and benefit of the school fund, and providing f >r thed<-fi* lenry la said school fund o-easioned by sui h sale. 6. An act to Prohibit the selling, bartering or giving away the questions prepared by the State Board < f Education to he ns* d by County S' • penntendrnts in the ex iminntion of teachers, and providing penalties tberefrr.

What Senator Hoover’s Bill Does for the Good Convict—Mrs. CLEM’S G HANCES. During the last General Assembly ■Senator Hoover introduced a bill, which , a used both houses and became a law, which bill shortens the terms of convicts in the Penitentiaries and Female Reformatory who live up to the rules and regulations ot those Institutions It was ■iiscovered yesterday that by the provisions of the b 11 Nancy E Diem, who has gamed so much Dotoiiely by her evil doings, aud who is now serving a four gears’ io the Female Reformatory, wilt gain her release during the latter part ot next May. I* is also slated that number of others in this Institution and the two Pr isons are now entitled to their freedom. The schedule of the deduction In sentences for good behavior, as contained iu the bill, are as to lows: A one year sentence is reduced to eleven mouths; two y» ars, one year and nine mouths; three years, tw«» years and six months; tour years, three years and two mouths; five years, three years and nine months; six years, four years and four months; seven years, four years and four month; eight v»ars, five years and six months, nine years, six year; ten jears, six year aud eight mouths; eleven years, seven > eares and three months; tweve yeais; seven years and ten months; thirteen years, eight years and five months; four teen years; nine years; fifteen years nine years and seyen months; sixteen years, ten years and two months; seventeen years, ten years and ni te months; eigheen years, eleven years and tour monin dneteen years, eleven yean-J"' twent iears, twelve years and six mouth.-; t.wenty-eue years, thirteen yeais and out month.

The New York Sun has a kind word for Representativ * Holman, of this State. It says: Although a man of uncommon ability and persoNal fore*, Holman has never been a very prominent flgutv in Indiana politics, and yet he has served as Representative in Congress during eighteen yeais, a >d has become famous thers as one of the most persistent aud aggressiue antagonists with whom the extravagance and corruption of the body have been obliged to deal. By his unremitting opposition tajousof all kinds he has become known as the “Great Objector," aud that .title sticks t« him as closely as Pi s -iron does to Hon. Wil. liam D. Kelly, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Holman’s presence iu the House es Representatives has probably been the means of saving millions ot dollars te be people of the United States, and we should be very sorry to miss him from Congress. He possesses ex.raordinary merit as a candidate, either for Governor or any any other office. He would make a groat Governor and a Jacksonian President.

PIONEER EXPERIENCES.

The past forty or fif.y years have wrought great changes in the physical character of this country, and what called out the most per*is ent effort of the early settlers,-like them has < principally passed away. New times bring with them new dmie. and necessities which call out new caps-

biiities to meet them. Of early experi' n es. now happily no longer to be feared, the praire fire wyS one to make a lusting impression upon the memory of the beholder, and yet one cot easily described We are permitted to print the following description. • which some of our older citis-ns euj dorse as remarkably accurate, from the manuscript of the History of Jasper county, now iu preparation:

“From tha time the grass would burn, which was soon after the first frost, usuahy about the first oi Octo be. , tilt the surrounding prairie was ail burnt over, or if not all burnt, till the green grass iu the spring bad growu sufficiently to prevent the rapid progress of the fire, the early set tleis were continually on the watch, and as they usually expressed the idea, “slept with one eye open When the ground was covered with snow, or during taiuy weuth r, *ne apptehension -as quieted, and both eyes could Le safely closed. A stat ute law forbade sei ting the praiiie on fire, and one doing so was sub]' o r to penalty, and liable in an ac.iou of tr- spAss, for the damage occurring; but convictions were seldom effected, ns proof was difficult to obtain, tho’ there were frequent fire*. These, started on the leeward side of an improvement, while dangerous to property -O he let ward, were not so t.i pj operty to the windward as fire progressing against the wind is easily extinguished, and the temptatio > ro -‘art one of these fires for some trivial purpose was often quite inesiotable.

Various meats wero resorted to for protection. A common one was to plow several furiowp around a strip, several rods wide, outside the im provements. and then burn out the inside strip; or to wait until t e prairie was on fire and then set Are outside K.f this furrowing, reserving the inner strip for a late burn, 1. e., until the following summer, and in July burn both old grass and new. The grass wculd start afresh immediately, and the cattle would feed it close io preference to the older grass, so that the fire would not pass over it in the following autumn. Th’S process repeated would socn. or in a few years, tun out the prairie grass, which in time would be replaced by bluegrass, which will not burn to any serious extent. But all this toon time and labor, and the crowd of business on the lands of a new settler, of which u novi< e has no conception, would prevent him doing wha- would now seem a small matter; and even when ae complishe , all such precautions often prove futile A prairie fire driven by a high wind wo-id often leap such >artiers and seem to put human es fort at defiance. A praine fir> when first started go«s straight forward with a velocity proportioned to th** force of th. wind, widening as it goes, but the center keeping ahead; it spreads sideways, out burning laterally, it m ikes but comparatively slow progie-s, «ud if ’he wind is moderate end st.eoly,tins spreading Are is not difficult to in.in > 8 e l feh ut wind veers a point or iwo-Wfiist one wuy and then the other, it sends this side fire beyond control I lie bead fire in dry graas aud ahead wind is a fearful thing, and psi-tty sure to h iVe its own way unless ’lU'i'.' is sum. defensible point to niee it. A c >ut* st with such a fir." -t< q itr< s such skill and tact as can be leu>he.>l only by experience, and a neighborhood of sealers called ou by such in exigency at once put themselves under the direction of the oi ieSt and most experience 1 of their, number, and go to work with the alacrity and energy of men defending their homes and property Loin destruction The usual way of meeting advacc ng lives, was to begin iho defense where the head of the lire would strike, which was calculated by the smoke and ashes brought by the wind along in advance of lire, a road, cattle path or furrow is of great value at such a place; if there was no such, a strip of the g.ass was wetted down, if water could pe procured, which was, however, a rather scarce articl • ar the time of the annual fire. Ou the side nearest the coining fire, of such a road or path, the gruss is set on fire, which burns slowly against the wind until it meets the coming conflagration, which latter stops of co irse for want of fuel, provided there has been sufficient time to bu.n over a strip thAt can not be leaped oy the head fire as it com *s iu. This is called “back firing”; but in this method giert care must be exercised to prevent the Are getting over the furrow or path, or whatever is used as the base of operation. ’ P it gets iu the rear of this and once under way, there is no remedy but to fall back to a more defensible position. The head of the Are successfully • becked, the force of Are-Aghters divide, part going to the right and part to the. left,- and the back-Ariug continued to meet the side fires as they come up. This must be continued until the fire is checked along tne entire front of the premises endanger ed. and the sides seemed. Various implements were used to put out a sid or back fire or even the head of a Are iu a moderate wind. A fence board, four to six feet long, with one side shaved down fora handle, was very effective when struck fiat upon the narrow strip of fire. A bundle of hazel brush, a spade or shovel were often used with effect. i'he women frequently lent their aid and dextrously wielded the mop, which, when thoroughly wet proved a very efficient weapon, especially in extinguishing a flre ( in the fence. When the Are overcamt all opposi-. tion, and seemed bound to sweep over the settlement, a fear of person al loss would paralyze, for the moment, every faculty, and as soon as the danger seemed imminent, united effort ceased, and each one hastened to defend his own as best be could. It is due to historical truth t.> jay that actual losses were much less than might have been expected, though frequently quits severe The physical efforts, made In extinguishing a dangerous* fire, and protecting one’s home from this devouring elensen’, were of the moat trying natu e, not uurit-quently xesultiug fatally lhe premises about the residences and yards being trampled down by the family and domestic animals, as .ter a year or two became tolerably safe from fire, but the fences, corn aud stubble fields were often attacks ed. When the open land was all fencud and under cultivation, so that these fires were a thing of the past, the residents of the prairie were hap | Pdy released from the cons>ant apprehension which for years had' dis i ttirbed their peace by night and caus- i

ed anxiety by day, though the early settlers still retain vivid recollections of the grand illuminations nightly exhibited in dry weather, frem early fall to 1 .te spring, by numberless prairie fires. The whole horizon would be lighted up around its entire 1 I circuit. A heavy fire six or seven 1 miles away, would afford sufficient

light in a dark night to enable one to read floe print. When a fire had passed through the prairie, leaving the long lines of side fires Ifke two armies facing each other, the sight at uight was sublime; and if one’s ptem ise«» were securely pro ected and he could enjoy the exhibition without apprehension, it was t sight well worth going far to see.”

STATE RIGHTS.

The supreme court of the United States has hail under consideration three c »ses bearing directly upon the question ojfate rights or Stale sovereignty, and the decisions of the Court, as pronounced by the chief Justice, will not fail to attract wide attention. The case' before the Court are briefly stated as follows: The first ? as a suit brought by citizens of Louisiana against the G v.rnor, Treas ttrer «nd other officials of that State to c tn pel payment of certain btnds. By an act of 1874 certain bonds of the State «e e consolidated, to run for forty 3 ears a* 7 per cent, interest, and a tax was ord-er-d to be levied for their payment, u >sequentJy, in 1879, the uew constitution < f Louisiana scaled down toe interesl on these bonds to 2 per cent., and gave the bondholders under the act of ,674 the privilege of taking new 4 per cent bonds at the rale of seveuty-five cents of the latter tor $1 of tne former. The holders of the consolidated bonds refused to accept, and brought this suit in the United States Courts to have that pait of the Louisiana Constitution which r, )a ©' to the bonds declared in conflict with the Federal Constitution as impairing the obligation ot contracts, and to compel the State officials to take the nec :-sary steps to pay principal and interest of the debt. *******

The second case related to the sums consolidated bonds of Louisiana, and arose out ot the legislation es New Hampshire to enforce payment of debts uue citizens from other Slates. In 1879 New Hampshire passed a law providing that any citizen of tne State holding bonds or other obligations of another State might assign them to the State of Sew Hampshire and have that Slate bring suit in its own name against the delinquent for the recovery of the debt. Under this act six consolidated bond) ot the State of Louisiana were assigned to the State of New Ham psltire by one of its citizens, and New Hampshire filed in the United states Courts a bill in equity against the State of Louisiana. The object of this New Hampshire act was to get around the Eleventh Amendment to the Federal Constitution, which provides that “the judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend t > any suit in law or equity commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by citizens of another Slate or by citizens aud subjects ot any foreign state.’’ Previous to lhe adoption of this amendment a citizen of oue could sue another State in the Courts ot lhe United States.

The third case grew out of the recent Readjuster laws ot Virginia. In 1871 the Legislature of Virginia passed an act funding the public debt, by which twothirds of lhe amount due on the old bond, might be funded in new bonds with inteiest coupons attached, which couj o.is were made receivble ’or all taxes and demands due the Bta’e. Under this .ci mmy bonds were issued with coun<ms which expressed on their faces that im-y were receivable for taxes. The valiui’y of this act, was sustained by the Virginia Court of Appeals. But in January. 1882, the Readjustee Legislature passed an act wuich provided among ii.er Uiings, that coupons should Jnot be rec- ived t->r taxes uulu t.mii genuineness ti.-ni oe< n e-übl shed bv an appropriate judicial- i-ioceeding, the nature ot which he ict set fnth. This law, it is contene l, - was in violation of the contract ;n.utc with the creditors of Virginia tn 17 Ou the 20th of March, 1882, Andrew Antoni ottered one ot the coupons for t xes, which was refused, touit was brought in the Virginia Court of Appeals to enforce by mandamus its acceptance by the Tux Collector, but the Court ueiag equally decided iu opinion the writ of manuamus was refused, and the c ise was sent to the Supreme Oourt o. the U iiled 8 aies tor review. In each of the cases stated the purpose was iu bringing them before the Supreme Judicial tribunal of the Republic to obtain redress for State delinquencies by Federal interferences to strike down the la t rcma ning sateguard of States and subject them in all regards to Federal authority, as much so as Oouuties are subservient to the control of State authority. Chief Justice Waite, in delivering the o] i lion of the Oourt, was careful to set forth lhe Constitutional doctrine of the absolute sovereignty of the Slates within their sphere, and therefore beyond Federal jurisdiction. He shows that the purpose of the Eleventh Amendment was to eliminate from the Constitution, as originally adopted , jurisdiction by the Federal Judiciary over lhe controversies between a State and citizens of another State. In the case of Louisiana, where citizens have brought suit against the officers of lhe State, the Chief Justice said that to grant the relief asked would be to require the officers ot Louisiana to act contrary to supreme power of the State whose servants they are. He lays it down as the law. that the officers owe duty to the State alone, and can act only as the State allows them to act; and that the Court, to grant the remedy required, would have to assume all the executive aufhoritj of the State, supervise all officials charged’ with the levy, collection and disbursement of taxes, aud that, t<>o, in a proceeding in which the State, as a state, was not and vould not be “ party; and concludes that the politica 1 power of the State can not be ousted of its jurisdiction, and the Federal Judiciary set in its place. In the case where New Hampshire sought in a roundabout way to compel Louisiana to surrender her sovereignty, Chief Justice vVaite uses lan. guage indicative of a purpose on his par to correct fanatical theory that thi Federal Government can, through its judiciary or otherwise, rob the States of their Constitutional rights. Referring to the Eleventh Amendment, the Chief Justic e said:

The effect <>f the amendment was simp’ ly to revoke the new right that had been given and leave the limitations to stand as they were. The evident purpose of the amendment was to prohibit all suiis agai nst a State by or for citizens of other States or alien*, without the consent of 1 (he State to be sued; and in our opinion one Stale can not create a controversy with another State within the meaning of that term as used in the judicial clauses of the Constitution by assuming ths prosecution of debts owing bv the other State to its citizens. Such being the case we are satisfied that we are prohibited bthby th letter and spirit ot the Coo Stiturion from entertaining these suits, and the bill in each of them is consequently tlistnisse t. In the Virginia case the Chief-Justice held - that by “changing the manner of

paying the tax and proving the validity of coupons, did tot impair tne obligations of the contract, and hence, the 1 Court would not interfere. These eases indicate to what an alarming extent the mmd baa become ’nipressed with the belief that States bad no Const! tutlonal rights which the Federal Government was bound to respect, and that it was only necessary to appeal to the supreme power to reduce sovereign States

to Federal vassalage. From the first, and all the time, the Democratic Darty, in matters pertaining to the Constitution* al or reserved riehts of States, has been outspoken, and the decision of the Supreme C’nprt of the United States, in the cases referred to, clearly vindicate the wis lorn ot democratic princi plea and the patriotic devotion of the pasty to the Constitutional rights ot the States and the people.
