DEMOCRATIC

Chronicle.

4,1869.

CONGRESS meets on Monday.

RICHARD, Commander-in-chief of the Sentinel, continues to keep

up a rattling

fire of musketry at TALBOTT. His attacks are mainly of a personal character and would hardly be appreciated by the general reader outside of Indianapolis.

CONSISTENCY in opposing

the Fifteenth Amendment is happily illustrated by the action of the members of that party in the Alabama Legislature,in voting for a colored man for Engrossing Clerk, and electing him over his white competitor.

IS the misfortune of our Indiana neighbors to be under the necessity of electing a

Governor next fall. Gin.

The usually well-informed editor of our Cincinnati cotemporary is in error in supposing that Indiana elects a Governor next fall. Gov. BAKER was elected in

1868

for four years and his successor will not, therefore, be elected until

would indeed be a

1872.

"misfortune"

for the

State to be thus early deprived of tjie services of so faithful an Executive.

IS STATED that the President and the Postmaster-General are both in favor of the abolition of the franking privilege, and that the former will recommend this course in his forthcoming mew-age. We agree with the

press

of the country, gen

erally, in hoping this is true for there can scarcely be a more unjust privilege than this same franking of letters of Congressmen, or one that is mcfre systematically abused. Late revelations chow that many members of Congress were in the habit of allowing publishers, venders of quack medicines, and other parties in trade and business to use their franks to an unlimited extent. The thing must be reformed altogether.

of Claims just

issued shows a list of three hundred and ten cases set for hearing at the term commencing next Monday. Many of these cases have been ready for trial on the pari of the claimants for more than two years, but in consequence of the disinclination of the Court to transact the public business", the claimants have been lAable to secure

hearing and decision of their

cases. It is suggested that Congress should pass an act requiring this Court to continue in session until the business before them'is finished. If this is not done, the annual appropriation made to pay the salaries and other expenses of this Court might as well be discontinued, as under the present condition of affairs it is almost as much of an obstacle as an assistance to the settlement of claims against the Government.
