The Missouri legislature decided yesterday that it would not submit the prohibition amendments, and gave as a reason that there were more names attached to the petitions against submission than to those in favor of submission.

The man who figures in advance 011 presidential results IIHS evolved the following: If the Republican candidate in ISSt should lose New York, New Jersey, Indiana, and California, and carry all the remaining northern states, of which there need be 110 doubt, he would have ISO northern electorial votes. To these may safely be added the twenty-three electoral votes of Virginia and North Carolina, making 2(Ki. That would leave for the opposition 1'iO southern and sixty-eight northern electoral votes, being a total of only 198. The wise policy for the Republican party to pursue is to close up its own ranks and seek recruits. The men who discourage enlistments and rail at fellow soldiers aie traitors in disguise.

There must be some pestilential spirit in the air which is setting people by the ears. An epidemic of quarreling is spreading itself throughout the land and evidently is fastening itself 011 high places. In the senate of the United States, sometimes called by irreverent persons, "the fog batik,"' two august senators inform each other that they would be just as insulting on the outside, where they would be more at liberty to demand and receive that satisfaction which is accorded among gentlemen when words no longer suffice to give relief to their overflowing feelings. In the house of representatives one gentleman informed another that he would not be bullied by a "California mule driver." Perish the thought. In the senate of the state a senator suggested that the presiding officer be "jerked out of the window." But this occurrence can be accounted for 011 other reasons than those that may be prevalent anywhere else. The peculiar epidemic affecting the present legislature has long since been declared beyond the reach of human means. Its recurrence dates with the occasional acquirement of power by the Democratic party and is known in the old English as blonilrr. Elsewhere, however, the disease takes another form. In Lafayette it is observed in Judge Gould's court, in St. Louis it has attacked the newspapers, and yesterday it was reported as reaching almost a fatal stage in the star route trial. Various theories have been advanced as to the origin. Its pronounced characteristic is a heated condition of the blood, but whether this comes from bad whisky or poorly cooked food luisuot been definitely ascertained.

JUDGE LYNCH.

Holding Court On the Wimpling Wabash.

A Tale of Bloodshed and Violence Retold—How a Desperado Foiled t?) a Vigilance Committee.

Vinceunes bun. As the steamer Belgrade hove to at Merom, last Thursday evening, Pilot Felix Anderson pointed to a large island out in the river and said: "There's an interesting story connected with that island that you ought to look up. I don't know much about it, but if you hunt up the 'oldest inhabitant' here he can tell you about it."

Now a remark like that is enough to tire the curiosity of any moral-news-paper man and the Sun representative lost no time in hunting up the particulars. The "oldest inhabitant" proved to be one of the cleverest men in Merom whose name need not be mentioned, for reasons that will be understood further along. However, he could not tell the reporter all the particulars, and it was not till the next day that additional light was shed 011 the mystery for it is a mystery, it one ever existed.

The readers of the Sun will remember reading an account furnidied by "Veritas," of Oaktown, some fourteen or sixteen months ago, of the deathbed confession of a man named Hutchins, who died in the Busseron bottoms, the latter part of 1881. Hutchins confessed his connection with a murder lor winch a man named Carver is now serving a life sentence in Jeffersonville penitentiary.

It seems that'at a period about fifteen or seventeen years ago a man named Stewart lived opposite Palestine landing, in Indiana, having for a companion a dissolute woman named Little. There was nothing attractive about her appearance, but the fact that she made market of her virtue and was the acknowledged paramour of Stewart aroused the fires of jealousy in the hearts of other men, and made Stewart an object, of their hatred. Near Palestine there lived two brothers named Hutchins and a man named Carver. The latter was an offensive citizen onlv when he was drunk, and while in that condition was easily persuaded to do almost anything. One of the Hutchins boys conceived the idea of killing Stewart, and made Carver the tool for the accomplishment of his evil designs. Accordingingly they called at the Stewart place one day and Carver blew Stewart's brains" out. with a shotgun. The woman, Miss Little, witnessed the killing. Carver was arrested and tried in the circuit court at Sullivan, and as a result the jury gave him a life sen-, tence. Of course Hutchins, who was responsible for Stewart's death, was implicated, but was never tried. The Little woman was the only witness against him, and she was disposed of in a manner that leads us to introduce the boss demon on the scene.

This man was named Paul Lindsay, and his abiding place was the island in the Wabash at Merom. It was a rendtzvou for thieves and murderers, bad women and whisky. It was suspected, and there is no" reason for doubting it, that the Hutchins boys were members of Lindsay's gang. At any rate, after Carver was got ton jiVav with Lindsey, took charge of the Little, and kept her from offering testimony against Hutchins. Probably fearing that the law would get her i"n its clutches, and that she would give the snap away, Lindsey mad up his mind to put Miss Little under the willows, and the last anyone saw of her was when she started up the river in a skifl with him. Thera is little doubt of the fact that Lindsey knocked her 011 the head and fed her to the fishes of the Wabash.

This act assured Hutchins' safety from the law, but it could not quiet iiis conscience, which, for more than fifteen years gave him no rest as shown by his death bed confession, made a little over a year ago. Carver is still in the penitentiary, and a petition for a pardon in his case is on file in the office of the governor at Indianapolis. Col. W. G. Young, one of the most prominent citizens of Sullivan county, urged the governor to grant Carver's pardon, but there is some obstruction that has not been removed, the nature of which we did not learn. Carver's good character previous to the killing, and the fact that he was made drunk and urged to kill Stewart while in that condition, were circumstances urged in his favor.

But to "return to Lindsay. The man had become a terror to the community. He was a veritable Jesse James in the number of liis lawless deeds, and his manner of executing them. So bold did he become that no man considered his property or life safe. Horses were stolen and citizen were shot at while going to their homes after nightfall. This was carried on to such an extent that citizens took means for self protection and organized a vigilance committee. Who composed this committee 110 one seems to know. Its first stroke at the gang was made when two men named Gode, and one Smith, went down into Greene county and broke.opcn a store, robbing a safe and doing other deviltry. They were traced to Linday's Island, and the Godes fell into the hands of the officers of the law, and were taken back to Greene county. Smith did not fare so well. To the best of our knowledge and belief he met the vigilance committee, two days after the arrest of the Gode brothers. At any rate the innocent citizens of Merom found him in a pond near the river, north of the island, with a hole in the back of his neck.

This incident onle served to make Lindsay madder than ever. He took his gun and went over to Merom to "lav"' for some of his alleged persecutors. He made it particularly hot for one Charley Pritchard, one of his bullets drawing blood out of Pritehard's neck. Then the regulators kicked. Dodiiing bullets became monotonous work, and it was resolved to take the bull by the horns. The committee got together and made an attack 011 the island, taking Lindsay prisoner. They conveyed him to Merom where he was kept a short time. His captors then started back to the island with him, but lie did not arrive there. He got away, and was never seen again.

When tiiat clever citizen of Merom arrived at this point in the narrative there was a far away look in his eye, and his voice sank into a whisper. The reporter looked at the speaker, and judged from his appearance that he was about forty years of age. Not a very "old" inhabitant, but at the time

ground chamber was disclosed, in which he kept his plunder—horses, goods, whiskies, etc., and hid numbers of his gang when the officers of the law pressed them close. The place is farmed now, and the incidents related are fast fading out of the memory of people in that region. Young people who stand on the famous bluffs and rest their eyes on this piece of ground around which the Wabash rolls, little imagine the stirring scenes that have been enacted upon it.

Xlie Prosecution Tryingto Prove au Alibi —The Defense Charge Conspiracy. Special Dispatch to Indianapolis News.

LAFAYETTE, Feb. 28.—IntheGougarMandler suit, yesterday afternoon, Daniel Walton, a'justice of the peace, testified that he met Captain Wallace at 9:30 o'clock, on the nightof November It), and talked with him". William York swore to meeting him at the same hour. This was the night when Mandl'er, Poock and others swore to Wallace being in his office with Mrs. Gougar. The defense will attempt to prove a conspiracy on the part of Mrs. Gougar's witnesses. It is declared that they will prove in rebuttal that twelve men are in the conspiracy for the plaintiff. This was the first day that the plaintiff touched on an alibi as the real issue.

This morning, Miss Anna Johnson, adopted by Wallace's father when a child, and living in Wallace's family as a companion, testified thaton the night of November 19, she came home at half past 9 o'clock, and a few minutes later Capt. Wallace came home. Heard him converse distinctly with Mrs. Wallace. He talked loud, "Mrs. Wallace being hard of hearing. Captain Wallace was at home all day went down town about 7 o'clock in the evening came back about a quarter to 10. Under a severe cross-examination her testimony was unshaken. Miss Johnson made a splendid witness for the plaintiff.

Mrs. Wallace was the next witness. She testified that her husband came home at twenty minntes to 10 o'clock on the night of" November 19, and remained by her side all night. The defense courteously waived the right to cross-examination.

OFFICIAL LOOSENESS

Iii the Handling ot State Funds—^The Arlsansas Treasury Short #'-404,000. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Feb. 28.—The

joint committee of the geueral assembly threw a bomb into both senate and house, yesterday, in the shape of a report on the discrepancies of the late state treasurer and governor, Thomas J. Churchill. The report was read simultaneously in both houses, and produced no little comment. It is simply a report of the conduct of the business in the treasurer's office during Churchill's first term of two years. He served six years as treasurer. The senate committee which filed its report last summer, reported Churchill short on his first term §103,000. The joint committee to-day sets the figuresaside, and in round numbers says the shortage is $294,000. The report is generallv verv severe on that made by the senate committee of the preceding legislature, and points out various inaccuracies therein.

After the report was read in the senate, President Judkins, who was chairman of the old senate investigating committee, took the floor and urged that it be not adopted in lieu of the former report. In the house the report was quickly adopted, there being but four votes in the negative. A resolution was also adopted instructing the attorney general to bring suit against Churchill and his bondsmen.

British Naturalization. WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—Senator Edmunds this morning reported adversely to the senate from the committee on judiciary, the house bill to provide for the restoration to citizenship of such citizens of the United States as have become naturalized as subjects of Great Britain and desire to return to their original allegiance. This bill was intended to give the force of law to the third article of the convention between the United States and Great Britain, concluded May 30, 1S70, which provides that: "If any citizen of the U. S., naturalized within the dominions of Her Brittanic Majesty, shall renew his residence in the United States, the United States government may, on his own application, and on such conditions as that government may think lit to impose, readmit him to "the character and privileges of a citizen of the United States, and Great Britain shall not in that case, claim him as a British subject on account of his former naturalization."

A Destitute and Neglected Town. INPIAXAI'OMS. Feb. 28.—Letters received from Kose Clare, Harden county, Illinois, represent the effects of the Hood as very disastrous. Destitute people are gathered in the school house and church and are suffering from the want of food, clothing and medicine. It is a small town situated immediately on tin Ohio, ninety miles above Cairo. The flood suti'erers in that region have received 110 aid whatever. It has a postoflice and an Adams Express oilice.

Death Penalty in Maine. ArocsTA, Me., Feb. 2S.—The bill restoring the death penalty passed the house, with amendments permitting the jury to recommend the prisoner to the mercy of the court and giving the prisoner's counsel the closing argument.

DOCTOR AND JUDGE

[By Oliver Wendell Holmes.)

At the annual banquet of the Boston Bar Association, Tuesday evening, 30th ult., Mayor Palmer was called upon to speak for the city of Boston. He closed his remarks by calling in turn upon Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes—"the father who went lu search of a Captain, and, finding him, presents now his son, the Judge." Dr. Holmes responded by reading the following poem, referring, of course, to the judicial bench:

His Honor's Father yet remains His proud paternal posture firm in But, while Ills right he still maintains To wield the household rod and reins,

He bows before the filial erimine.

What curious tales lias life in store, With all its must bes and its may bes! The sage of eighty years and more Once crept a nursling on the floor--

Kings, conquerors, judges, all were babies.

The fearless soldier, who has faced The serried bayonets' gleam appalling. For nothing save a pin misplaced The peaceful nursery has disgraced

With hours of unlieroic bawling.

The mighty monarch, wliose renown Fills up the stately page heroic. Has hov-led to waken half tlie town, And finished off by gulping down

His castor oil or paregoric.

The justice, who, in gown and cap, Condemns a wretch to strangulation, "Has scratched his nurse and spilled his pap, And sprawled across his mother's lap

For wholesome law's administration.

Ah, life has many a reef to shun Before in port we drop our anchor, But when its course is nobly run Look aft! for there the work was done.

Life owes its headway to the spanker!

Von seat of justice well might awe The fairest manhood's half-blown summer There Parsons scourged the laggard law, There reigned and ruled majestic Shaw—

What ghosts to hail the last newcomer!

One muse of fear I faintly name— The dread lest duty's dereliction Shall give so rarely cause for blame Our guiless voters will exclaim, ".No need of human jurisdiction

What keeps the doctor's trade alive? Bad air, bad water more's the pity! But lawyers walk where doctors drive, And starve iu streets where surgeons thrive,

Our Boston is so pure a city.

What call forjudge orcourt, indeed, When righteousness prevails so through it? Our virtuous car conductors need Only a card whereon they read, "Do right it's naughty not to do it."

The whirligig of time goes round, And changes all things but all'ection One blessed comfort may lie found In heaven's broad statute which lias bound

Each household to its head's protection.

If e'er aggrieved, attacked, accursed, A sire may claim a sun's devotion To shield his innocence abused. As oldAnchises freely used

Ills offspring's legs for locomotion.

You smile. You did not come to weep, Nor I my weakness to he showing And these gay stanzas, slight and cheap, Have served their simple use—to keep

A father's eyes from overflowing.
