The resolution cites charges agains individuals. He backed it up with an able speech. The resolution was unanimously adopted, and tfifi investigation will no dojibtdo much toward breaking up the horde of railroad lobbyists. ■ -«• ' Our neighbor takes up the howl of the Indianapolis Freeman over the request made for the resignation of “Captain Eads the (radical) clerk at the general delivery window at the postoffice,” in that

city. There are plenty capable Democratic soldiers to fill the position, and notwithstanding Eads’ declination to resign, he should be made to understand there is'aGod in Israel, in spite of the remonstrance from the “Freeman” and the Rensselaer I’epub ican.
