THE

has Tom Thumb and

House Cominittee on prisons de

voted nearly all of last week to a thor» ough investigation of the affairs of the State Prison South. "We are reliably in formed that they found that institution in a most excellent condition and are highly pleased with its management financially, sanitarily, morally, and in all other respects. They approve the recent action of the Directos in the removal of officers, as well as in their selection of new ones. It is expected that they will recommend a small appropriation for the purchase of books for the use' of the convicts. They will also recommend the erection of a prison for females. &U# U'Vf

A "TALKING CLUB" is to be established in Indianapolis. It will meet once a week, and some member will talk fifteen minutes upon a subject which has been previously assigned to him. After he has concluded, each member of the club may occupy five minutes, either in ques« tioning the speaker, who is supposed to be at home on the subject, or in communicating his own views. Perhaps a dozen persons may in this way find uttorance in the cour^o of the evening, and a great variety of thought will be brought out. The talking club is meant to combine the benefits of the debating society and the lecture, without the defects of either system, and can be established in any village which contains half a dozen intellir gect young men.

FKLKER,

a Chicago detective,

publishes a communication in which he asserts that Reno and Anderson were innocent of the crimn for which they were lynched that, after they had been in CUB. tody two or three months, he went to Cincinnati, and, in company with James L. Ruffln, Chief of Police of that city, had an interview withL. 0. Weir, Agent o' Adams Express Company at that place, and offered to arrest and convict the parties fyho robbed the Company at Marshfleld, Indiana, in May last, and recover the money stolen, making the condition that detective Pinkerton should be discharged from the case, on the ground that he was connected with a vigilance committee. That company declined to accede to this condition, and he accordingly allowed the matter to drop. He fUK ther stales that Mr. "Weir informed him, in the presence of two gentlemen, thai they all knew Anderson had nothing to do *ith the robbery.

"WB mentioned yesterday morning that there would be a sharp fight between the: Erie and Pennsylvania Central Railroad interests, at Columbus, yestorday, for the control of the "Ben Smith roads." That fight was decided in favor of the Pennsylvania Central. The stockholders of the Columbus, Chicago & Indiana Central rejected the proposed lease of their road to the Erie Company, and approved lease of their road to the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Louis Railway^ which is in the interest of the Pennsylvania Central, so that, however the fight for the control of the Pitt3burg, Fort Wayne & Chicago may result, the Pennsylvania Ceqtral can not be cut off from a Chicago CODnectiDn.

The stsckholders of the Cleveland & Mahoning Railroad, yesterday, also refused to indorse the transfer of the lease of their road, by the Atlantic & Great Western to the Erie Railway, thereby cutting off the Erie from its Cleveland connection.

T?his great game of cbesb which is being played by the powerful railway kings becomes more interesting every day.— Erie has the next move, and the develipments of its strategy will be watched with intense interest by the publio, whose anxiety is chiefly to secure more efficient and economical transportation facilities, as the result of the fight.—Cincinnati Oaeette, Saturday.

More Cabinet Speculations. '•, The political circles (and square and triangles) of Washington are all agog over new moves by, and fresh intelligence from, the President elect. To give the last first and the first last, you have learned by tetegrapb ere this, that the President elect has let it be known that when the fact is announced to him officially that be is elected President, be will indicate to the gentlemen selected by himself for members of his Cabinet, bis choice, and call them together for consultation. We draw from this .the conclu sion that his Cabinet is already determined on.

The next fact is announced, this morning, that General Grant goes to New York to remain some days as the guest of Hamilton Fish, and keen-eyed politicians put their fingers to their noses, and wink. What is the meaning of these mysterious visits to New York? I noted that some time ago. I was in Yew York last winter, when oertain people were moving heaven and earth to secure the success of General Grant. These people possess more money, and more political shrewdness, than all the rest of the party put together. They don't belong to that convocation of political donkeys called the Union League, nor that other combination that gathers about the Tribune office. It is a lot of gentlemen who ad dressed Grant as "Dear General," marked "confidential," and received answers be ginning, "Dear Smith," or "Jones," or "Robinson," marked "strictly confidential." They were not only the first to nominate Grant, but to nominate him with his approbation.

This strange and mysterious silence of our beloved leader reduces us to the condition of the courtiers about the palace of gome Europoan despot. We are forced to watch bis movements and study his imperial countenance. For example, a report flies along the avenues and through the hotels and lobbies, and over the floors of Congress, that the Hon. Buntywag had called on Grant, and had been closeted with him two hours. As he came out, Buntywag's countenance looked peculiar. Now for Buntywag's countenance to look at all passes belief— so conclusions are drawn.

Keep your eye on New York, gentlemen. There is the place to work up rich developments. There is no end of grave speculations in that quarter. Grant must advisa with eome onp, as to the formation of his Cabinet, who stands well in "that region. How are the quotations? Whose stock is on the rise ?—Washington Oor. Cin. Commercial.

"Witbin the brief period ol the past %igfcn months, during which it was fir brougbt to tbe notice of the, public, w( have received tbe mo-t substantial anQ satisfactory assurances that its peculiar merits and many advantages are beto* fully appreciated in every intelligent .jtnmpniiy. Hence its, growing popularity h^a created a demand now tenfold greater than it was only a few months agp and this, too, without any of the edtriordic (try efforts constantly made bj other Companies to bring their machines into notice. With this emphatic and ur^iv-ersal endorsement on a]i hands, we feel inqre than ever before, warranted in claiming for it unquestionable superiority over all others as a Family Machine.—

The simplicity, ease and certainty with w|icb it operates, as well as the uniform excellence of its work, throughout the entiift rang« of SBWlng, in stitehlng, hemming, felling, tucking, cording, braiding, qiiilting, gathering and sewing on, overSeaming, embroidering on tbe edge, and ils beautiful button hole and eyelet hole work, place it unquestionably far in advance of any other similar invention of the age.
