IT APPEARS that all the Justices of the Supreme Court, including Chief-Justice On AS#, are in ^£aVor of the bill now before the House jWliciary Committee rearranging the JuBpial Circuits so as to equalize the bmJHwss of the Judges appointed under the law of last winter.

This is, unquestionably, a judicious measure and we hope it will be favorably reported upon by the Committee and promptly ^passed.

THE Republican Convention of Marion county, was beld at the Court House in Indianapolis on Saturday last, and was largely attended. Delegates were ap pointed to the State Convention. The Convention ins^ucted its delegates to vote for^fe^f nomination of all the present incumbents of the State officers who are candidates. For "Attorney General, the instruction w#s for Gen. GEORGE G. CHAPMAN. NO instruction was given for Treasurer of State, or for a successor to .Judge FRAZER who declines re-nomina-tion.

SENATOR MORTON favors us with a nuipber of valuable public documents. As our distinguished member of Congress is a representative of his party,only, the attentions of Senator MORTON are peculiarly acceptable. It was the custom of Mr. VOOBHEES' predecessor to remember 3) is constituents irrespective of party, but •that degree of^fegnanimity is quite beygpd the "Tall Sycamore."

THE Washington correspondent of. the Cincinnati Gazette speaks of a treaty that is now before the Senate for the sale of 135,000 acres of the Kansas Indians' reserve at 87J cents pet acre, and 80 000 acres at $1 50 per acre, to a railroad company, all being among the best land in

Kansas. The President, in transmitting the treaty, calls attention to a letter from Secretary Cox, which sets forth the remarkable and unusual fact that the treaty jwas drawn up under the last administration by the Senate Indian Committee, and •feent to the Interior Department^ with the request of that committee that a commission might be sent put to conclude it. It was concluded in seven days from the time the order was given for the commission to start from Washington. The terms of payment/ire easy and on time. Secretary Cox notified ihe President that lie could not approve the treaty. A strong •lobby is now urging ratification.

THE St. Ixuis ~De7/I0CRA states an admitted fact when it declares that the Republican party has proved that the intererst on the poblic^ebt can be paid, and the neccessary expenditures of government met, with a surplus from present taxation of one hundred and twenty-five millions.

The fourth plank of the national platform adopted at Chicago, one of the solemn pledges made by the Republican party in which the people placed confidence, was this: "It is due to the labor of the nation that taxation should be equalized, AND REDUCED as rapidly as the national faith will permit."

If we understand the meaning of some -of the plainest and simplest words in the -V'English language, this resolution—this "^solemn pledge—binds the Republican -jparty to reduced taxation as far as it can ibe done after meeting the interest on the public debt—not due for many years jyet—and meeting the neccessary expenses of the government. Therefore, in the "in a me of the people who intrusted the ^Republican party with power on that '/pledge, we demand that taxation shall be reduced. ft ,~l

•FT THE Cincinnati Commercial lias been Amusing itself with statistical inquiries "Ilo the Journal h,pw. it is our time. The iCommei-cial favosa the abolition of the frank, and says "it is maintained at an & expense of $5,000,000 annually." Will A the Commercial give us the figures for this?

The Franking Privilege, afe*® Many Senators—probably a majority—

manifested a desire to vote at once upon the House bill abolishing the franking privilege, but an objection was made, and it went to the Committee on Post Offices. That committee being in favor of 5 the bill, it will be reported soon, and passed without delay, unless Sumner,

Stewart and Garret Davis get to talking on it. The franlung privilege is the most conspicuous

of conversation here,

at this time. ''Iris in everybody's' mouth, and Congressmen think that the public will be willing,1 Before many months, to petition for its re-enactment, in jpiew of the fact that it stops the free transmisfiion through the mails of newspapers in the counties in which they are printed, and alsp the free exchange list to newspapers.

THE passenger train goin terday morning, on the Madison and Indianapolis Railroad, was •pretty badly wrecked when about three miles from the city, but fortunately no one was hurt, with the exception of the Express messenger, Harvey Knowles, who was severely brused and scratched, but not to such an extent as to disable him. A broken rail threw the engine off the track, the tender upsetting, while the baggage and passenger coaches, by the sudden stopping, were considerably damaged. The passengers were soon transferred, and everything was put in good running order by evening.*—Ind. Sentinel.

THE school of Miss Mattie Baldridge, in Liberty township, was the scene of a most disgraceful occurrence one day last week. It seem)) she had occasion to correcta youth of some fourteen summers, a son of Mr. Joseph Orr. He was not disposed to take the punishment he no doubt richly deserved, and pitched into the teacher, Miss Baldridge, with a roughness that would have done credit to & regular bruiser. Catching her by the hair, he drugged her around the schoolroom with masculine vigor, and otherwise abused her. Whether the children in attendance were edified we know not but we have to record the shameful fact that the larger scholars—some of them young men at that—quietly sat by and saw their teacher thus outrageously treated. There should be manhood enough in the smallest school-room in Delaware county to have resented such conduct as this, and we hope never to be called on again to lay before our readers such another want of that prime article.—Muncie Times.
