The Indiana republicans are not at all discouraged over the spring elections in this state. None of them believe that the democrats can carry the state in November, any more than they did in 1880. A strong republican rally will carry the state next fall without any difficulty.
Investigation of application for pen sions reveal sGme curious facts in regard to what some people consider sufficiedt cause for being pensioned.

The democratic congressional campaign committee is about to establish headquarters in Washington, and will at once commence active operations for the cam paign. Congressmen Le Fevre, of Ohio, and Thompson, of Kentucky, will have charge of the work, and it is presumed that the chairman, General Rosecrans, will act in the capacity of figurehead.
A number of Indian tribes are on the verge of starvation, and to relieve them and prevent an outbreak the senate last week passed a bill approprtting $50,000 for them. When it came up in the house it was promptly objected to on the ground that the senate cannot originate appropri ations. To avoid discussion and hasten relief a bill was at once introduced and passed, appropiialing $80,000 for the needy Indians. The bill went back to the senate yesterday and was passed.
Alabama elects a state ticket and a legislature that will elect a United States Senator next Augaet. The independents and republicans will hold a convention in May, at which time they will probably nominate General William M. Lowe as their candidate for governor. The leaders profees confidence in their ability to carry the state, and say they are thoroughly organized. In 1880 the same cry came up from the fitate, but the democrats elected their governor by more than 90.000 majority. It is a difficult matter to connt up republican majorities in aonthern states.
CHINESE LEGI8LATIOH.
Since the veto of the bill prohibiting Chinese legislation, congress has been in a quandary as to what disposition to make of the question. It appears that under the fifth and sixth articles of the Borlingame treaty with China the natives of that country have unlimited^" mccew to this country, and that it was the existence of these articles which prevented the president from signing the bill. To get around the difficulty a motion has been made in the honse of representatives by Mr. McLane, of Maryland, formerly United Btates minister to China, requesting the president to notify the Chinese govern meat of the desire of congress to terminate the above mentioned articles, and is said the motion vas made after due consideration with the state department. The abrogation of these articles wonld still leave the Chinese at liberty to come here to engage In commerce, bat congress could prevent them from coming as laborers or artisans. At its best the sixth article cf treaty is a one sided affair, and innnres only to the benefit of the Chinese.
American laborers and mechanics never think of seeking employment in China, while those who go as merchants and traders are being rapidly starved out by the wily Mongolians, who learn business habits and customs with a rapidity and thoroughness which are surprising. Congressman McLane insists that it is within the power of congress to pass a ihodifled bill restricting Chinese immigration, which will not conflict with the treaty stipulations, and that as soon aa the obnoxious articles are abrogated a more stringent law can be enacted. However, as there were two parties to the making of the treaty, there must of necessity ba
two
parties to breaking it.
The treaty has been beneficial to China, inasmuch as it has relieved that country of large numbers of it* population, already too large. Such being the case it it is not all probable the government will be in any haste to abrogate, but, oa the contrary, will prolong it to as late day as possible. Even if we liad a strin gent law, prohibiting the Chinese from coming here it is doubtful that it would prove efficient. Some loophole would be found for evasion. They would emigrate first to some other country and eventually find their way here. The question is a deep one, and is probably as far from solution aa it ever was.
After Hon. Wm. Williams sad been nominated as charge d' affairs to Paraguay and Uraguay, the charge was made that during the campaign of 1880 he offered to join the democratic ranks and make speeches for Hancock. The man who was said to have authority to negotiate the alleged bargain was a Dr. W. P. Seymour, of this state. Upon being called upon for an explanation Dr. Seymour addressed Mr. Williams the following:
WAHSAW,Ind.,
April
11.
Hon, 11'. William: Understanding that my name has been given you as the person who was authorised by yoa tojc&fta as an act of justice to you to most emphatically deny such imputation, and can truthfully state that you never approached me on the subject of ths canvass for General Hancock, or authorized me in any way to use your name with the democratic central conmittee in any manner whatever. I make this statement because I believe that justice to you, whom I have known for many years, requires from me a prompt denial of the charges said to have come from me, reflecting cn your personal or political honor. W. P. SJEYWOUB, M. D.
George M. Chilcott, the new United States senator from Colorado, was born in Hantiogdon county, Pennsylvania, in 1828. In 1844 he removed to Iowa with his father, where he studied medicine, but did not practice his profession. In 1852 he was chosen sheriff of Johnson connty, Iowa, and four years later emigrated to Nebraska. During the latter part of 1856 he was elected to the Nebraska territorial legislature. In 1859 he settled in Colorado, and two years later was elected to the legislature of that territory in 1862 he was admitted to the bar. Subsequently, he was appointed by President Lincoln a register of the land office, serv ing four years in 1865 he was elected to congress a representative under the stale organization, but was not admitted in the following year be was chosen a delegate from Colorado to the fortieth congress. In 1866 he was admitted to practice before the supreme court of the United States.
Congress has granted permission to Charles B. Higsby, of the navy, to receive a decoration from the emperor of Germany. At the same time Senator Joseph R. Hawley was granted permission to receive decorations from Italy, Spain and Japan, in recognition of his services as centennial commissioner. Of course the average American citizen doesn't hanker after such things, but he doesn't often refuse them when an ofier is made, even if they do pertain to royalty.
The river harbor bill this year will appropriate from $14,000,000 to $15,000,000. One of the items is $4,728,000 for the improvement of the Mississippi from the head of the passes to the mouth of Illinois river, and all of this but $600,000 is to be expended below Cairo, the whole to be applied by the secretary of war in accordance with the plans and estimates of the Mississippi river commission. The appropriation last year was a little over $10,000,000.
The southern policy of President Arthur is not at all pleasing to the democrats of that section, who see in it the downfall of their party. In making his appointments down there the president selects men who are republicans, and who will endeavor to do something for the 8uccesB of their party this, together with
a
determination
to secure the punishment of those who have violated the election laws, is the great offense he has committed.
On the 27th of this month the people of Ohio are called upon by the governor to turn out and plant saplings by the roadside, in yards or wherever it can be done. The call is opportune, and the example should be generally followed by all the states. Our forests are rapidly disappearing, and unless something is done to repair the damage the country will be absolutely without timber before many years have passed.
PLAYING II FINE-
The Gaastte attempts to sbwid its party from responsibility for the new conrt-house conspiracy by stating that Commissioner Wilson, a democrat, opposed the scheme, while Commissioner DeBaun, a republican, favored it. The game, -we admit, was very adroitly played. It was part of the plan to inveigle the republican commissioner into support of the scheme and then to place Commissioner Wilson in apparent antagonism to it, in order to throw part of the responsibility and possible cdium on the republican party. The republican commissioner fell I.]to the toils, as ill lack would have it, and once in he conld not extricate himself, bat had to wade through the quagmire, while Commissioner Wilson stood on the bank out of harm's way. The responsibility of Commissioner DeBaun is his own, and eannot be shifted to his party. As he made his bed, so should he lie in it.
The Express, in this matter, has been and is actuated by considerations of the pablio welfare at the same time it is not forgetfal of the interests of its party, which are synonymous with the good of the people. Thre is no element of individual malice in our course. Personal malevolence should not enter into the discussion of public questions. In manifesting such an intense hatred of Mr/Shannon and Mr. Terry and othere, the Gazette weakens its influence. Its readers natur ally attribute part of its zeal and bitter ness to the desire to punish personal ene, miss, rather than regard for the interest of the public. It was a long time after the Express began its ant?gonism to the court-house building scheme btfore the Gazette saw proper to express itself in opposition thereto. If it had not. been for this paper, a costly, extravagant, corrupt, proselyting democratic building scheme would now be in full career, aim ing to place and keep the democratic party in power in Yigo county.
PABTT BESP05SIBILITT.
A correspondent of the Gazette denies th8t the Criminal Court is a democratic jcstitution. When it is considered that the judge, the prosecuting attorney and the favored ring of lawyers who practice there are all democrats, and controlling forces in their party, it requires consider able assurance and disregard of facts to attempt to shield that party from respon sibilily for the arrogant, reckless and partisan manner in which affairs in that court are conducted. The following is an ex tract from the communication referred to
In filling the bench of the criminal court the. people of Vigo county, Irrespective of parly," acted on the very best judgment they possessed. Whether that choice was a wise one or not, one fact remains: the people without regard to party thought so then, and if a gang step in and assame control of affairs and use that court room as a forum In which to insult, blackguard, vilify and malign the characters of Innocent citizens who dare to seek protection under the law turn criminals loose by the score to prey upon the comTWinity with theft, burglary, robbery, murder and the whole cata logue of crimes, no party is to blame until it gives it a vote oi jjp garty is responnor the sanctity of justice, nor for the party except when their own selfiph interests are concerned, until it refuses te drive out the gang when its corrupt practices are known. The democratic party, through the Gazette, is speaking out in this matter. It is the first to speak, co, and no other party has any just grounds of complaint.
It appears from the newspaper files that, in 1878, the democratic party not only endorsed but re elected the judge and prosecuting attorney. That party had a good opportunity then to relegate those two officials to private life} but failed to do so. The vote that the party gave then was "a vote of sanction" of the previous proceedings ot the court, and their long silence since is a sanction of the aobae quent proceedings. It would be difficult to draw a more caustic indictment of the Criminal Court than is embodied in the above extract. That tells the whole sad story of the degeneracy of judicial pro cedure nnder democratic ascendancy.
The Old Fellows of Evaneville intend to celebrate the sixty-third anniversary of the order, Wednesday, April 26th, by a street parade ia the afternoon, and at night there will be a meeting at Evans Hall, when Schuyler Colfax will deliver his celebrated lecture on "Lincoln and Garfield," also an address on "Odd Fellowship." Half fare rates on the railroads and steamboats will be provided for, also reduced ho'el rate's. A special train will be ran from Terre Haute to EvanBville and will return at night after the lecture. It is expected that there will be a large attendance, as the occasion will be a notable one.
It is gratifying to know that Hen Stanton J. Peelle, of the Indianapolis district, is likely to be renominated for congress next Saturday by the unanimous vote of the republican congressional convention. As a general rule it is advisable to give a representative two or three terms at least wlen he demonstrates his fitness for such a position. Experience greatly enhances the value of a member's services and increases his inflaence and capacity
for
effective work. Mr. Peelle is
a labarions and faithful public servant, and his constituents would make a great mistake in failing to re-elect him.
Dante Gabriel Rosetti, artist and author, is dead. He was born in London, 1828, and is known as the designer for the better class of illustrated works, a worker in the Pre-Raphaelite school. In 1860 he published "The Early Italian Poets," and in 1870 a volume of poems. He was the son of Gabriel Rosetti, the wellknown commentator on Dante.
Washington has 285 persons or firms engaged in prosecuting elaims before the pension bureau. Besides this number there are thirty-two others who are officers or employes of the government, who have been engaged in the same business bat who have been disbarred from sach practices by order of Commissioner Dad* ley.
Oat in Nevada they hang Senator Hoar in effigy because of his opposition to the Chinese bill. Senator Jones, of Nevada, not liking the manner in which his constituents neglgcted Dawes, telegraphed them to that effect, and now the honors are easy between the Massachusetts senators.
J. ~R. G. Pitkin has been made happy at last. He wanted to be minister to Mexico, bnt the president eonld not stand so much ambition, and Mr. Pitkin will have to cogent himself with the marsbslsbip of the eastern district of Louisiana. Possibly the president thought he was not cut oat for a diplomat.

TIJAT INVESTIGATION.
WASHINGTON, April 12—The Shipherd examination was about to commence this morning, when Shipherd begged the indulgence of the committee for the purpose of calling attention to the official reports of the proceedings. He said: I have been examining, this morning, the hundred pages or more of printed evidence as prepared from the notes ot the official reporters, and I find many omissions and many glaring inaccuracies. I mu*t protest against the inconsistencies and gross absurdities which I noted in this printed evidence, which has just been received from the Public Printer. I find more than twenty mistakes on a single page."
Rice, Belmont and others expressed dissatisfaction at the official reports, and thought some meags eba^ld be adopted to secare correct reports of the proceedings before the committee.
Shipherd Rtated that upon
a
careful ex
amination each day he found the Associated Press reports as nearly accqrgte as could be desired., f}cd aa ii was
a
matter
of some importance, inasmuch as the evidence would be submitted to the House and country, that the investigation should be reported correctly, he would suggest the propriety of revising the official reports, using Associated Press reports as
State, and no uch judicial decision, the certificate held by both bonnes to be executed by the proper authority shall be conclusive that if tbe result is not reached before the fifth calendar day after the first meeting of the two Houses no further recess shall be taken by either House: tbat notwithstanding the decisions and declarations mentioned, the title to tbe office of any person declared to be elected President or Vice President, and the title of any claimant thereof may be tried and determined by action in the nature of quo warranto, and action may be brought prior to the actnal entry or usurpation, and most be commenced within ten dajs after the declaration of the election of the defendant, in the Circuit court of the United States for the district in which the defendants or either of them reaide.

THX LAND LRAGUB.
The second annual convention of the Nation Land League began its sessions this morning, with thirty-two States represented. Among the first arrivals were Representatives Robinson, of New York, and Ladd and Murch, of Maine. Many Catholic priests are in attendance as delegates. General Patrick A. Collins, president of the League, called the convention to order and read a call giving the reasons therefor and reviewing what had already been accomplished by the League, wherein the Chicago convention bad failed to fnlly carry out its objects, and what remained for this convention to do. The call sets forth that great distress now exists in Ireland, and that the matter should receive the undivided attention of all Americans as well as Irishmen that they
Bhould
bury all differences, all petty
jealousies, and unite to protect their distressed fellow creatures in Ireland. John Rooney, of New York, was made temporary chairman, and a committee on credentials appointed.
Committees on resolutions and organization were appointed. John Boyle O'Reilly, el Boston, offered a resolution which recites the fact of the imprisonment of American prisoners in English iails, quotes the language and dispateii£ of Minister Lowell, and calls upon the President immediately to recall Lowell, and provides for the presentation of the resolution to President Arthur by a committee. The resolution was unanimously adopted, amid great applause.
The committee on credentials reported 227 delegates present. At the evening session, the committee on organization presented P. A. Collins for president, and he wa« unanimously chosen, together with a list of vice presidents, including Mrs. R. Springer, and 0'Connelltof (he District of Columbia, for secretary, all of whom were elected. The chairman, and Delegates O'Reilly, O'Byrne and Fathers* McMenamin and Cronin were appointed a committee to present President Arthur with the resolution regarding the imprisonment of American citizens in Ireland.
O'Brien, of New York, moved that a vote of thanks be tendered to President Arthur for the efforts made for-tfee relief of imprisoned American oitixens. [Hisses,J The president stated thjat pqder rha rules the mo.tioq would go to the committee on resolutions without debate. [Applause.]
A letter was read from Wendell Phillip*, in wblob be says: "Our relations with foreign States will never be satisfactory until our diplomatists remember on that side of the ooean what they ought to have learned here: that all men are created equal, and that an injury done to any American citizen, no matter what his antecedents, his class, QJ his position, is as grave an insult to the Nation as if the wrong wsfe done to qur foreign Minister himself. I trust the convention will assert these principles with all the emphasis possible".
General Rosecrans appearing on the platform was greeted with three rousing cheers. He said he sympathized with the cause which brought the meeting here, and it was not the beginning of his sympathy. The evils which were to be redressed were rooted six centuries deep in the soil of Ireland, and no American could understand what the Irish people had suffered.
Congressman Robinaoa, of New York, made a characteristic address, some routine business was disposed of, and tbe convention adjourned till to-morrow.
THE CHINESE.
Some of the stroogeat advocates of legislation {or the suspension of Chinese immigration now admit that the prospect of such legislation at this session of Congress is not encouraging. The Democrats charge that the Republicans are mancsvering to patch up a bill that will relieve them of censure on the Pacific Coast, and that they are looking more to political effect than to the benefit of these people, while the Republicans charge that the Democrats are scheming to make capital and are secretly trying to prevent the passage of any bill. A Senator said to-day that he would not be surprised if the question should take a partisan shape.
COBB'S BILL.
In reference to Qabb'a railroad land grant forfeiture bill, it is not thought
?ommitteeby
robable members of the Judiciary that any action can be reached on the matter at the present session of Congress, inasmuch as it will require a two-thirds vote to pass tbe bill if reported upon favorably by the committee, and members say it will b* almost impossible to secure such a majority in the House.

Jt was represented that alj applications to the District Attorney for legal redress were of no afa^l, *£he Attorney General promised that the matter should be iavcetig»t*d,

PROHIBITION IH KANSAS.
ir„
Late Henvtljr Against Kansas City Journal, April 8.
It is fair to presume from the resuteef the recent municipal elections in Kansas that prohibition is not no popular with the people as we have been led to suppose, or as its advocates, rather, have maintained. The question has been a constant subject of discussion ever since .the prohibitory liquor law was enacted in the State, as of course it was preceding its being engrafted on the law of the State, aod while opposition has manifestly shown itself, the Prohibitionists have been so outspoken, so aggressive, and so supremely positive in their declarations that the assumption in Kansas and outside of the State has been that public opinion was largely in favor of the measure. The Prohibitionists have been conatantly campaigning, hare been constantly organized, and invoking ths moral force of the church at home and abroad have wi.inont cessation maintained that they were in the ascendancy in the State, aod were overwhelmingly supported by the people, except, perhaps, in the few communities that Governor St. John outlawed by proclamation, and even here the people were not credited with a disposition to defy the law so much as the authorities were willing to ignore it and permit ita violation.
The results, therefore, of the mun 4{}tal elections in Kansas, occurring OD. Monday and Wednesday of this y,eek, are regarded as a surprise abroad, an they may be considered significant^ orJnous by the Prohibitionists in Kstwhe in fact, the

have met with a most signal
defeat. Topeka, the political capital and fountain-head of prohibition, has eleoted the anti-prohibition ticket by a large majority, and of the four Councilmen elected, three ars anti-Pro-hibitionists. Governor St. John conducted the campaign aod directed the Prohibitionists at Topeka, sod the overwhelming defeat of the Prohibition party in that citv becomes doubly significant from this fact. At Ola the, the home of the Governor, his party waa overwhelmingly defeated. And these examples are only two out of a thousand or more of others.
It wonld aeem from the returns thafe where the Prohibitionists counted aostt upon safely rolling up a majority tbeyr have been doomed to disappointment! and defeat, while from the out-laweo) communities they of course have received no consolation from the returns.
