WEUXE3DAY --JASPARY 12, 18B The State Temperance Alliance will meet in Indianapolis Tuesday, February 2d, at 2 o'clock P.K, at Masonic Hall, at d continue in session until Thursday noon. This is an "Alliance " of all the Churches, Sunday Schools and Temperance Asso ciations, ior concentrated action on the temperance question. The High Tariff men don't like the Report of Mr. Wells. Of course not. His facts are damaging to their theories as well as their profits. Very properly Pennsylvania, whose wealth the whole country is severely taxed to increase, will lead ofLin CopgTefes in an assault on his Report. The Moobehead tariff men are rallying in force, and will do their very best to refute the principles advocated by Mr. Wells. We can only repeat cow what we have often said before as a warning to the unreasonable tariff" men. The question of Recon struction is virtually .settled, and out of the way. It can no longer be used as a hobby on which the tariff men can safely and luxuriously ride Therefore, reason ought to suggest to them the propriety of not tampering too much with the patience of the people of the West. Patience some times ceases to be a virtue, and so certain a3 ever the High Protective Tariff measures come before the people of the West f or their' approval. they will be rejected with every mani festation of disgust. If the Repub licans of the West permit the Repub lieans of the manufacturing States to paddle a still higher and more op pressive tariff such, for instance, as the Moobehead Bill upou thei constituents, they may as well pre pare for retiring to private life. The first time the people get a chance at tfceoi at the polls they will be, polit ical!y, buried out of sight. - - , Indiana Military Aencj. This agency was established in 1SG5, The old Sanitary Commission of the State was virtually merged into th Agency. It was ascertained throug the Sanitary Commission, that pro fessional sharpers were fleecing the soldiers, in collecting their claims and it was thought best to have th claims collected through 'a', "State Agency, to save the soldiers unneees sary expense as well as the stealage which almo.-t iuvariably had to be en dured under the system of private agencies. William Hannaman, Esq., a Christian gentleman of Indianapolis, whose integrity and fidelity to the interests of the soldiers had been thoroughly tested, as head of the State Sanitary Commission, during the war, was placed at the head of the HI.!

A correspondent of the Sfew York Tribune gives us a nice pictuie of the profligacy which characterizes the expanditures of some of the Departments at Washington.

IXDIiXAl'OIiIS LiETTJCUS. How the Messasewaa Received Tae Senatorial Question riie contest Grows Warmer Determined Effort to Defeat Mr.' Cnmbaca It will nut i'rove Successful ufJee-Seek-ersSwarmhis-The Inauguration Tbe "Canal King" at Work. Indianapolis, January 11. Editors Journal: " Certainly the, Governor's Message was well received, by all. At is re garded by Senators and Representa tives, and by ail who have given it a careful .reading, a one of the most thorough and able State papers ever placed on file in the State House. No clearer exposition of the J3tate debt could have been made, and the message, as a whole, is regarded here as reflecting great credit on the wis dom and" ability of ' your fellowtownsman, Governor Conrad Baker. .-Thi Senatorial question is the allabsorbing topie witn members of the (xeneral "Assembly as well as with politicians. The contest becomes fiercer as time progresses, and the opix)sition to Hon. Will. Cumback becomes more determined on the part ot his opponents, bull he will lead off handsomely in the caucus, which is to take place on lhursday evening. bat it is not claimed that he will have "strength sufficient to elect him on the first ballot. Judge Jb rszier will receive the next highest number of votes, whit the respective candidates, nine in all, will each receive complimentary votes on the first ballot, after which it is pretty sure Orth's friends will go to Uumback. It is hinted that a movement is on foot to bsat Mr, Oumback, and that some twelve or fourteen members will refuse to go into the caucus at all. lhis prob ftbl will not be daBe,but the rumor was quite current on haturday and this morning. In any event, however, or whatever move may be made on the part ot the opponents to Mr. Uum back, his election is regarded as cer tain, except in the event that the more ardent mends ot Uovernor Jiaker should present his name, and insist oo his entering the contest. In that cise, nis election wouia assuredly take place on the first ballot. The members of the " Canal rin?" are at work, and will make a strong effort to have the State assume a dabt of $15,000,000, of which mention was made in a tormer communication to the Journal, but the project will fail; at least it is thought no outside pressure can be brought to bear on the Legislature that would result in such a calamity to the State. The number of applicants for positions of all kinds, clerkships, positions as door-keepers, &c, is increasing. Members are beset on ail sides, in the State House, on the road to their boarding places, and at their rooms. It must be a pleasure to be a legislator and have so many interested and admiring friends to call on you at all hours of the day. A few days more will thin out. these office-seekers, and members will have more time then to devote to their duties. , . , As the Senatorial question occupies so "much of the time of members, but little will be done in .legislative matters until that is settled, when the two bodies will get to work at once and expedite business as fast as posBoth branches of the Legislature meet at 2 P. M. to-day, when the Governor and Lieutenant Governor will be inaugurated. Q. K. J. W. AgrlCttl ? nral Prison Reform Governor's Message General Assembly. The agricultural interests of the State have been receiving earnest attention at the hands of the State Board of Agriculture. The anniversary of the Board its sixteenth was held at the Bates House, on the 7th. Among the noticeable features of the meeting was the fact that many in attendance declined altogether to partake of the caainpagne furnished for the occasion. An earnest effort was made by the Board to abolish at our Stale Fairs "premiums on horses for speed alone," and to prohibit intoxicating liquors in or about the State Fair" grounds. Measures were also considered to induce the Legislature to provide for a- thorough geological survey of the State; and last, but not leas:, a step was taken for a plan by which the Board of Agriculture and the Horticultural Society might hereafter meet together. The management of these Societies is in the best of hands, and uader their administrauon a new impetus is being given to the important industrial interests of the State. " The State that best protects industrial interevSts, best protects its people, was a sentiment offered at a banquet and it might have added commerce. The people that best protect their interests best proteet their otate. ' The State Board is doing- a Boble work, and their labors will be felt over every acre of our territory, - f. A hopeful movement is on foot to secure prison" reform. It seems to have originated among the Society of rrienas at lueamona. j. meeting nas been called here on the 12th inst., and the Jjejnsiature has been address ed upon the subject, asking that the" Prison Directors be not elected until after that meeting shall have deliber ated. Governor Baker haa also given the subject lull consideration in his message and his suggestions will, no doubt, meet the approval of the thoughtful and humane throughout the estate, as wise and timely. The Hall of the Houso of Itenre sentatives was crowded to excess to hear the message of Governor Baker. it was listened to with marked attention throughout. It will be regarded as a very able document. The Governor has evidently with great energy and consciensciousness devoted himself to a consideration of our do-

tions will be considered wige and

The affair at New Albany was condemned in becoming and appropriate terms. The -message was lengthy yet bnet when the various interests to which it relates are considered. It is an epitome history of Indiana at this hour, - and every one that carefully peruses it will feel prouder ol his fetate than ever before. The Legislature is now fairly opened for business, but has adjourned over till Monday. The next matter will be the election of United States Senator. I will not be so foolish as to speculate who it will be. Let it be known, however, that a good and true man will be selected, and there will be no broils among the defeated as pirant. 1 believe the present General As sembly will compare favorably with any of its predecessors. All are good looking all honorable and all mean business, lhe Democrats all vote one way, and so do the Republicans and 'there's the end on't." On man! important points, however, our Iegis lators will see eye to eye, and 1 be lieve 1 can give out that the best things may be expected ot them We have already alluded to the operations of the Democratic officials in New York, by whicb the vote of that city was so enormously swelled A New York correspondent sends the following paragraph with reference to the matter: There is much excitement among local politicians at the testimony be lore the committee investigating elec tion frauds. The men whom Sheriff O'Brien attempted to arrest on Fri day last, and prevent from testifying;. were repeaters, engaged in the Democratic interest during the election. Many of them were thieves and other wise offenders against the law, who nad been let out on bail alter in dictments were drawn against them' and lodged m the hands oi the Dis trict Attorney. They testify that be fore the election the Democratic exCommissioner save "them the choice of being Democratic repeaters, or be ing called to trial and take the chances of going to the penitentiary. They testify that they repeated their votes from six to tmrty-mne times each and would have done better if the Republicans had been less vigilant, Nearly two hundred voters were registered from Sheriff O'Brien's house. and complete lists or repeaters from there have been obtained. One man who was under indictment for bur glary, testified that he was let out on condition that he would vote early and otten tor oeymour and lioumao, which he did. Maggle Mitchell's Lovers. Ten years ago Maggie Mitohell was the bright particular star through al the Western States. At that time she was not generally known in the bast, tier spnghtlmess upon the stage gained her the admiration of Young America, and halt the vouth ful bloods of Chicago, St. Louis and other cities, were visibly struck with her charms. Upon her going toJNew xork, about hve years ago, she became the favorite there, and is still an object of admiration in the jastern States. Frobably two-thirds of those who are attracted by her style are fascinated by her youth aa much aa anything else, and this ia where the joke comes in. as it shows how deceptive the shades of the foot lights are. Maggie was not nartieu larly young ten years ago: to-day she can look back upon her maidenhood, at a time before most of the young men who are struck after her were born. She is about forty-three years old! Just think of that! Emerson said once that a man might eat shoe strings and marry his crandmother. or words to that effect, but imazine a stage-struck youth of eighteen lonsinir after an introduction to Maggie. The following effusion, said to be the result of a poetic agony," bv s soldier, who sent a young lady a " bo kay, while in camo near her home is eminently satisfactory, so far as it goes, to prove that none but the brave deserve the fair," and we hope naa me aestrea eiiect. Here it is: Accept this bokay from a feller Who oft has beared the cannons beller. iaa ifobouvu bu bu uiea a looten, A nd helped to do a heap of shorten.
