State Ueformi-The Printing. la the midst of the excitement arising from our National troubles, it must not be forgotten that we have important State interests demanding attention, and that on the 10th of January our General Assembly will meet at the Capital with an immense amount of important business before it. Rejublieans, particularly, must bear in mind that for the next two years the administration of State affairs will be in their hands ; that they have made the most solemn pledges of economy and reform in State matters ; and that on the manner in which they live up to the promises they have made the people, will depend their success in future contests for the retention of their present ascendancy. It is time, therefore, that the press and people should begin in earnest the discussion, o needed reforms and desirable measure? that the General Assembly ought to consider and p:iS3 on during its coming session. While National affairs, a3 now situated, will not admit of neglect or indifference, it is necessary that attention should be given to the legislation of the State, which so much af fects every tax-payer ia his evcry-day life We propose at present to consider the subject of the State Printing a department of the public expenditure through which, heretofore, the public has been more deeply wronged according to its amount than in any other of the regular service done for the Stale. The law which now regulates the office of State Printer and the work done by him is a relic of the time in the history of the btate wlien tie art had not attained its present perfection ; when there were no eteam power presses in the State ; when the , work was done by hand on old fashioned " hand presses ;" and when the comparative' ly meagre amount of printing to be done, and the small competition, caused much larger prices than now prevail. The law is to be found in the Revised Statutes of 18-13 (chap. C, art. C), and waa saved by the Repealing Act, passed under the new Constitution, from being made inoperative. In other words, after the new Constitution was adopted, and a general set of new laws were passed under it, that old-fogy law was Buffered for some reason to remain in force, instead of being superseded by one more in accordance with the spirit of the age. Tho abuses tinder that law within the past six years have been sbatneful, and it is no exaggeration to say that the tax-payers of Indiana have been wronged out of at least J5000 a year on an average during this time. Tliink of it over $30,000 paid out of the hard earnings of the citizens of the State in six" years for nothing ! and all this in only ouo branch of the public expenditure. These abuses have long been apparent to our legislators who have given the Mibjprt any attention, but under Democratic management the printing and binding havo been useful in keeping up party or. gans, therefore politicians have managed to prevent the repeal of the" law and the enactment of a new one more in consonance with the spirit of the age and more-in accordance with the people's interests. So llagrnnt had teen and were the abuses under the law alluded to, that at the Special Session of the General Assembly, in Novem ber, 1S58, a committee was appointed in the House, to investigate the accounts of the public printer and matters connected with the prititintr. That committee consisted of five member? four of whom were printers. In politico two wero Republicans, one an American, one a Lecomptin and oneanan-ti-T,p-omiton Democrat. This committee were empowered to send for persons and pa per TUey mule a pretty thorough examina tion, and made a report accompanied by the testimony taken by them, which showed that the most shameful impositions had lieen prac ticed ou tin- State. The report was signed bv every member of tho committee. They accompanied their report with some su gestions for change in the law and practices under it. The House took the subject under con sideration and at the Regular Session in Jan uary, 1ST.9, appointed a committee of five members, all printers,to draft a new law em bTacitig the amendments suggested and such nt liora na were deemed necessary. The com mittee went to work and drafted a new and very good bill calculated to reform the defects of the old law. The bill went through the usual course and passed both houses, but in the hurry attending the close of that PTpitinf session, bv means of some hocus pocus best known to the Democratic mana gers at the Capital, failed to receive the ap proval of the Governor. The extortionate prices and abuses under the old law therefore remained to burden taxpayers until sweiit away bv some Legislature and Ex ecutive determined on reform. into the notorious abuses of the law of 1843 and the committee oa printing of that body had set themselves to work and had drawn Hp an excellent bill providing for letting out the Priu tin ' -and Binding to tho lowest bidder, just like other mechanical work They deemed it as foolish to elect a State Printer (an ofiice not provided for by the Constitution), as it would be to elect a State Carpenter, Pkisteivr, or Wood Sawyer, to do any work in the line of business of these respectively. Tho business being purely iiieeh-uiicul, there is no good reason why the Legislature should elect a person to do it. The Se.nale argued very justly that the Printing and Rinding ought to be let out by contract to the Iowc3t responsible bidder, just as any other mechanical work is let out; and in pursuance of this argument, they promptly parsed th bill their iniiilin.; eomtiiiHee bad pre pare J, through its various etages.

wmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmimmm and sent it to ths House. This body, baring already passed the bill heretofore alluded to, and in consideration of the fact that a State Printer had already been

elected for the three years from the ensuing August laid the Senate bill on the table, and took no further action on it. By these means the old law was allowed to still exist, to the serious detriment of the public interests. While the subject was under considera tion in the Legislature, during the special and regular sessions, a responsible firm of practical printers ia Indianapolis, Laving a well-furnished printing office, made a for mal proposition to that body, offering to do the printing and binding at half the rates paid under the old law, and to give good security for the faithful performance of the work. A saving of not lets than 5,000 a year was thus within the power of the Legislature ; but that body was composed of heterogeneous and discordant materials, and amidst all the managing and confusion of the winter, unfortunately the people's interests were not saved from further sacrifice in the matter under consideration. The above bid, made by practical printers, offering good security to the State for the proper performance of the work, showed that a large sum was lost by the State every year uselessly. The persons making the bid had made a close calculation of the profits of the work to lie done; they under stood what they were about, having done the printing before under a sub-contract ; and even at their bid, fifty per cent, under the prices paid the State printer, they were sure, with the same good management which other mechanics give their work underdose contracts for private parties, of a reasonable profit. What, then, must be the prot3 uu der the old law, we leave our readers to judge. We can illustrate these profit by saying that the persons putting In the above bid had, previously, done portions of the printing for a firm who did the printing under the State Printer for a certain per cent age. The State Printer got a big slice out of the work for party services, and did not spend an hour's time a week or invest a dollar in capital in doing the work. In fact he was filling a Government office at the time and did nothing in relation to the printing but draw his percentage of tho proceeds from the State Treasury. Tho party who took the work to do from him sub-let part of it at rtill lower prices than hey took it for, thus making a handsome profit without expending any labor on the work so let out ; while the third party, who did the work, made a profit which satisfied them. Thu3 have the people of Indiana suffered for many years in this single item of printing and binding, and thus is explained one of the many leak-holes in their State Treas ury, which cause their taxes to be so high. This Journal, as a Republican paper, has been preaching all summer and fall that its party would reform the glaring abuses so prevalent in connection with the State government, if put in power. The people have taken the party at its word and placed it in a position where it has full power to reform abuses. The wrongs under the law of 1843 alluded to are amongst the worst practiced on the pockets of the tax-payers. We have a right, on the part of the people of this portion of the State, to expect, that the Legislature this winter will make a radical reform in this matter of Printing and Bind ing ; and we ure much mistaken in the conductors of a majority of the Republican papers of the State if they do not join with us, after all the professions of economy made by the party before the people, in ad vocating a reform in this matter thai we all know needs reforming. We are emphatically in favor of the Con tract System of the plan of letting the Printing and Binding out to the lowest re sponsible bidder, like all other mechanical work the State has done. The State is building a new Penitentiary does she elect a State Stonemason, a State Bricklayer, a State Blacksmith, a State Carpeuter ? So; she lets the work out to the lowest responsible bidder, the same as private individuals do, and she gets the best of work done at the lowest prices. Competition brings about these results. So it should be in regard to those mechanical occupations, the Printing and Binding for the State. The States of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and other States, after a full trial under the system of electing a Printer, years ago settled down on the contract system, and find it to work admirably and cheaply. Congress ha adopted a similar plan of having her printing done, after wasting uutold thousands by the old method. It is high time for the State of Indiana to consult her true interests like other States and the General Government are doing. We call on the Republican pajtera of the State to express themselves on this subject, and to say whether they are still in favor of economy, as we all were through the campaign. Lest some may think we are interested in desiring the work let out by contract, we wish it distinctly understood that no one having an interest in the Evansville Journal ofiice expects, directly or indirectly, to put in a bid for, or in any way to take an interest in, the Printing or Binding, it the Legisl.it ure decides to let it out by cod tract giSS-The Cincinnati Press thus speaks of Mr. Buchanan's disgraceful conduct of late The spectacle is a disgraceful one to tbe nation, and most mortifying to the party that placed such a President iu power. Tbe only charitable solution of the affair is that the excitement has OTerturown the President's wits. Unless his acts can be explained by that, the disgraceful fact will have to be acknowledged that .e have open treachery in the head of the Government. Tub Rising Sun Visitor of the 15th inst says the scarlet fever is prevailing in that town and vicinity, aud a few deaths have occurred. The public schools were closed to prevent the spread of the disease.

HOSTETTER'S STGMACHJHTTERS. rWUttS PBttPBIKTOBSJJVn M nfacturersof BOSTKTTEIt'S CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTEKS ou sppoiil with perfect confidence to physicians and citizens generally of the United States, because the article has attained a : reputation heretofore unknown. A few ficcs upon ' this point will speak more powerfully than vol- ! nines of bare aertion or blazoning puffery. The , consumption of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters for the ; lat year amounted to over a half million bottles, : and from its manifest steady increase in tinoe past, it is evident that daring the coming year, the con- j sumption will reach near one million bottle. This ! immense ainouut conld never have been 6old but lor the rare medicinal properties contained in the j preparation, and lh sanction of the roos; proml- ' ueut pliysiciaus in those sections of the country j where the article is liest known, who not only rec- ; ommend tho Bitters to their patients, bat aie ready I at all times to give testimonials to its efficacy iu : all eases of stoni chic derangements and the dia- ! eases resulting therefrom. ' This is not a t"mporarv popularity, obtained by extraordinary efforts in the way of trumpeting the qualities of the Bitters, hut a solid estimation of an invaluable medicine, which is destined to be us enduring as time itself. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have proved a Godsend to regions where fever and ague and various other bil-ous complaints have counted their victims by hundreds. To bo able to state confidently : that the Hitters" are a certain cure tor the lysi pepeia aud like diseases, is to the proprietors a ! Hoiirce of unalloyed plo isure. It removes all mor- ! bi'l matter from tbe stomach, purifies the blood, ! and imparts renewed vitality to the nervons sysj ttm, giving it that tone and energy indispensable I for the restoration of health. It operates upon the ; stomach, liver, and other digestive organs, mildly t but powerfully, and soon restores them to a condi tion essential to the healthy discharge of the functious of nature. Elderly persons may use the Bitters daily as per directions on the bottle, ami they will find in it a stimulant is'ciiliarly aduptcd to comfort declining years, as it is pleasant to the palate, invigorating to the lswels, excellent as a tonic, anil rejuvenating generally. We have the evidence of thousands of aged men aud women who have experienced the benefit of using this preparation while suff ring from stomach derangements aud general debility), acting under the advice of Physicians, thev have abandoned all deleterious drugs, and fai-ly tested the merits of this article. A few words to tie gentler sex. Th-re are certain periods when their cares are so Imrrassing that many of them sink under the tiiat. The relation of mother and child is so absorbingly tender, that the mother, especially if she bo young, is fapt to forget her own health iu her extreme anxiety for her infant. Should the period of maternity arrive during the summer season, the wear of body and mind is generally aggravated. Hero, then, is a necessity for a stimulant to recuperate the energies cf the system', aud enable tbe mother to bear up under her exhausting trials and responsibilities. Nursing mothers generally prefer the. Potters to all other invigorators that receive the endorsement of physicians, because il is ngre'.-able totbe tasi as well ascertain togive a permanent im lease of bodily strength. All those pel sons to whom we havo par' icularly relerie-f alsve, to-wit: sufferers from fever and ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea, dysentery, indigestion, loss of appetite, and all diseases or derangements of the htomar-b, superannuated invalids, persons of sedentary occupation, and nursing mothers, will consult their own physical welfare bygiving to lio.-.tetter's Celebrated Stounicb.
