THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. appointment of Senate Committees and Consequent Speculation. gome of the Features of the Metro poll tan Police Bill—Matters of Pertoual and General Interest. The Democratic programme regarding the appointment of the standing committees was Strictly carried out in the Senate Saturday. The list, as agreed upon by the caucus the preceding evening, was adopted by a strict party vote. As might have been expected, the assignments were made, generally speaking, in accordance with the desires and influence of the respective members, no particular regard being paid to efficiency or previous professional or legislative experience. Senator Bell, who is made chairman of the judiciary committee deserved the position on account of his legal attainments and experience, and the other members of this committee seem to have been selected with some regard to their fitness. The two chairmanships most sought for were those of the committees on fees and and salaries and railroads. Senator Voyles, of Washington secured the first named, and Senator Brown, of Jackson, the last. Senator Hutchinson, of Laporte, was very desirous of being made chairman of the prison committee. so that he could keep a watchful eye on the Winterbotham regime in the Northern prison, but his name came second on the list, and Senator Benz, of Crawford, was made chairman. The appointment of Senator Fletchei, of this county, as the chairman of the committee on temperance is not full of gratifying assurances to the advocates of temperance legislation. Dr. Fletcher is extremely liberal in his views, and is a pronounced anti-prohibitionist. It is underatood that Senator Willard got the committee on public buildings, because when a member of the House, four years ago, he was chairman of the State-house investigation committee. His position during this session is of unusual importance on account of the appropriation asked for by the Statehouse contractors. THE METROPOLITAN POLICE BILL. Representative Ferriter, of this county, to whom is entrusted the management of the metropolitan-police bill, said to a Journal reporter yesterday that the bill had been submitted to an informal meeting of Democratic representatives and mayors and other city officials, who were hero Saturday, and a general satisfaction with its provision was manifested. The original intentions regarding the measure has been changed, so that it will affect all cities over 25,000 inhabitants if enacted. This will include, beside Indianapolis, Evansville, Fort Wayne and Terre Haute. It provides for a board of police commissioners for each city, the members of which are to be appointed by the froverno Auditor, Treasurer and Secretary of State. The bill will be introduced this ” week, and Mr. Ferriter claims that it will not be pushed as a party measure, but will stand on its merits as a piece of necessary legislation. He also thinks that ii will meet with a considerable support on the Republican side of the House. LEGISLATIVE NOTES. It ie probable that Speaker Bynum will announce his committees to-day or to-mor-row. The caucus for State Librarian and Prison Directors will probably be held Thursday night. Mrs. Foster, of Allen county, still leads for the former position. It is understood that Senator Willard will try to secure the appointment of a committee, with himself as chairman, to investigate the affairs of the new State-house. Washington special: Mrs. Emily Thornton Charles, the well-known Indiana authoress, has a card in the Critic to-day to say that she is not a candidate for State Librarian in Indiana. Other candidates will be so glad. Senator Foulke, of Wayne county, promises to be one of the most valuable members of the Senate. He has already showed himself to be a gentleman of fine attainments, good common sense, and a finished speaker. The onlj r act of legislation finished last week,was the passage of the bill (H. B. No. 1) appropriating $125,000 for the expenses of the present session, and the Senate amendments to that bill haye not been reported as concurred in. Senator Marvin, who delivered the first message to the House, which was criticised in that august body as being “ungrammatical,” says if it was as “ungrammatical” as the message sent back from the House, he will resign his position. Senator Voyles yesterday stated that he has not yet heard of any prospective bill on the subject of fees and salaries, and did not think there would be much legislation on the subject, although the present law was deficient in many respects. Colonel J. B. Maynard, chief editor of the Sentinel, was a candidate for a clerkship under Secretary Kelly, but was disappointed. He was very indignant at his treatment, claiming that he had an unequivocal promise from Mr. Kelly that he should have the plafe. There arc other similar complaints from various sources. THE RECORD. IN THE SENATE. Announcement of the Standing Committees— Who Shall Provide the Stationery. Saturday, Jau. 6. In the Senate Saturday moraine, after the devotional exerciser, the Lieutenant-governor announced that he had received a written request from ttlirty-four senators to appoint an additional page in the per sou of Houry Richards, which he did. THE SENATE RULES. Mr. Spann, from the committee on rules, sul>tnHied a minority report reoommeudiug that the rules of last session be adopted for the eov eminent of the present session. Mr. Brown, from a minority of said committee, submitted a report recommending that the rules of last session bo adopted for the government of this, with amendments striking from rule 8 the word president. Mr. Foulke moved to amend the report of the committee on rules by adding thereto the following: “Except rule 28, which shall be amended so as to read, ‘No motion or proposition on a subject different from that under consideration shall be admitted under color of amendment.* ” lie said: “I move the amendment on the ground that rule 28 is practically a nugatory rule ns it now stands.” The amendment was rejected, and the report as amended was adopted. Mr. Brown offered a resolution for the appointraeut. of a committee of twoon the part of the Senate, with a like committee on the part of the House, to serve as a Joint committee ou rules.

PRINTING THE GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE. Mr. White offered a resolution for the printing of 250 copies of the Governor’s message for the use of the Senate. Mr. Bundy moved to increase the number to 1,000, which amendment was agreed to. Mr. Beil moved that the President of the Senate refer the different sections of the Governor’s message to appropriate committees, which was agreed to. SENATE STATIONERY. The Seuate renewed the consideration of the resolution pending at the udjournmeut Friday night, the question being on Mr. Brown’s mo tion to reconsider the vote adopting Mr. Wright’s resolution directing the State Librarian to furnish stationery for the use of the Senate. Mr. Bundy declared the State Librarian to be the person authorized by law to furnish station cry for the use of the General Assembly, and read section 5,698 of tlie statutes and others, contending that the bureau of printing was required to attend to the printing, binding, etc. It had been the custom that the librarian furnish the stationery—last session on a resolution offered by the Senator from Allen (Mr.'Beli). The law and precedent arc both m favor of the resolution, and it ought to pass. Ho opposed the motion te reconsider. Mr. Bell said it did not make a snap’s difference with him who furnished this stationery, but the Stats has an outstanding contract made by Republican State officers, in which are included all sorts of paper, engrossing paper, such as is used here, inks, mucilage, etc. This contract was awarded to the lowest bidder, and no doubt is at a price lower than the small quantity desired by the Senate can be now purchased. No person should he authorized to go outside and purchase for us in tin* face of this contract made with sworn officers of the State. The resolution should he framed so as to come uuder this contract iu the proper and regular way. The motion to reconsider was agreed to by yeas 25, nays 20. Mr. Brown moved to amend the resolution by striking out, and inserting n w matter requiring persons acting for the Senate to make requisi tion on the publio bureau of printing, ami all other will be unauthorized. He said he had not lost all confidence In some of the acts of the Re publican party, and when it was in its full bloom und grandeur the popular representative branch of the Republican party adopted this very resolution. He proposed to accept this wise act, sanctified by the action of the Republican parry. Mr. Bundy moved, ineffectually—yeas 20, nays 26—to lay this substitute on the table. The substitute was agreed to, and the resolution, as amended, being read, was adopted without a division. The Senate then adjourned till Monday.

THE CITY IN' BRIEF. The January term of the Federal Court begins to-dey. The Marion county grand jury will probably make its final report to-day or to-morrow. Last week’s mortality was very light, only fifteen deaths being reported at the Health Office. Cases of scarlet fever were reported Saturday at No. 125 West North, aud No. 450 West Second street. John Richter has been found guilty of selling liquor on Sunday, by ’Squire Woodard, and fined $12.35. The local members of the alumni of the State University will hold a meeting at the New-Deni-son to-night. Georeo Lucid and Johanna Lucid, and John Bowman and Jane Kyua were granted marriage licenses Saturday. The county commissioners approved bills on Saturday amounting to $914.23, of which $128.75 was for thirteen insautty inquests. Tiie annual meeting of the board of trustees and the board of managers of the Homo for Friendless Women will be held one week from to-day. During tne last week fifty-two tramps have been given lodging at the police station, which is largely In excess of the number in any week this winter. Judge Taylor has taken under advisement the suit to quiet title to a valuable tract of land near Fall creek, brought by Masou J. Osgood against James B. Bruce aud others. In the divorce case of Sarah E. Gerber against Samuel 8. Gerber, Judge Taylor has grouted the defendant a divorce ou his cross-complaint, ou the ground of abandonment. The commissioners, on representation of Trustee Kirz that there was no money for enumeration purposes, have appropriated SSOO to defray the expenses of the same. Judge Howe has decided in favor the defendant in the damage suit brought by James Bhearer against John P. Quinn, for injuries received by the bit© of a vicious dog. In tho Washington township case of Styens against Carson and others, in which the plaintiff obtained judgment for $3,0D0 for false Imprisonment, Judge Taylor has granted a motion for a hew trial. 'Squire Woodward, Saturday,fined Peter Hartseek $lO and costs for participating m si turkey raffle. If all violators of that statute would be similarly dealt with, the school fund would be increased to enormous proportions by the Hues imposed. There has been much speculation regarding probable changes in the sheriff’s office. It w.is decided Saturday to retire Deputies James E. Green and G. W. Carr, and to retain the remainder of the old force, and Mr. John R*t and, of Pike township, has been given a place iu tho office. Accidental Death. Edward 81oan, living at No. 493 Pendleton avenue, met with a fatal accident Saturday afternoon while out hunting. He bad gone but a short distance from home, when by some unaccountable means his double-barreled shot-gun whs discharged, tho charge entering his abdomen and producing a frightful laceration. Pooplo in tho neighborhood were attracted to the spot and curried tin* injured man to his home, where lie expired in a f*-w moments. Tho deceased being alone, the cause of Hie accident is not known. The coroner was notified and the remains given iu charge of Kregclo & Whitsot. “Fbar brings disgrace, bravery brings honor, cowardice saves no man from his fate,” suys the.

Mrs. Wall • •light to star, having recently been released from prison, where she was committed on u charge of kniing her husband. Young Sulvtni does not seem to meet with a better appreciation iu the East than he did here. A country man who lately saw “Romeo and Juliet” by the Mather parry, at the end of the first act politely asked* a lady in the next s**at, “Does that yottug uian come in oftenl’ “Oh, yes.” hi<l the lady, “constantly; lie plays the leading parr.” “Ho docs, docs be?” responded [lie unappreciative rural, “then ma’am, I’ll say good night.” The “Man About Town,” of the New York Star, recently indulged in a bit of gossip about a lady formerly quite prominent in the profession, and wh< is known m this city from having ar ranged the “Cinderella” entertainment here last year: “Do you know that all the favorite actresses of a few years ago have either married and left the stage or have retired to private life of their own accord! Now there is Ninon Duclos. She captured New York a few 5 ears ago, and a wool merchant named Kenny built her a little theater, which he called the Folly. Her favorite pastime was horsewhipping would-be mashers in all prominent cities. Well, about eighteen months ago she fell in love with Charlie Benton, a former manager, married him, and now is quite a card iu religious circles West and 8011th, where she attends church fairs, superintending the production of religious cantatas and broom drills as Mrs. Agues Bentou. Her past life is a scaled book.”

Light Infantry, Saturday night, it was decided that the company proceed at once to purchase new uniforms. They also exoeot to play “Fra Diavolo” In the near future. Oleaginous. Oil City, Pa., Jan. 6.—For several weeks articles have been published in various papers charging the United Pipe Lines with issuing more petroleum certicates than were represented by oil in the custody of the lines. These articles, it is supposed, were published in the interest of some bear clique,for the purpose of destroying confidence in oil certificates and creating a panic. Saturday afternoon the members of the Oil City Exchange took action on these reports, and in answer to them unanimously passed the following resolution: Resolved, That we have full and unqualified faith in the management of said lines; that their sworn statements represent their true condition: that they do not speculate, and under no circumstances do they ever issue eirtificates unless the petroleum called for by such eirtificates is actually iu the tauks controlled by said hues. There was not a dissenting voice in the passage of this resolution, and the oil men expressed their full faith in the integrity of the United Pipe Lines, and denounced the published articles referred to as malicious and unwarranted by facts. Billiards. New York, Jan. G.—A match game of billiards, carom cushions, 500 points, SI,OOO a side, was played *his evening between William Sexton, the champion, and Maurice Daly, at Tammany Hall.

Sexton’s highest scores were 30 in the twenty-sixth inning. 20 in the fifty-fifth inning, 2G in the seventy-third inning, and 25 in the ninety-seventh inning. Daly led from the beginning and kept the lead to the finish. In the 101st inning the game stood: Daly 445, Sexton 443. This is the nearest the latter came to closing the gap. Th© Slanders Against Windom Refitted by Sworn Evidence. St. Paul, Jan. G.—The campaign of slander in the senatorial contest took anew turn last night. A package of affidavits was received from Colorado relating the recent attacks on Senator Windom for Western mining transactions, etc. One affidavit by William Wolfe, of Durango, Col., shows that he was approached at the instance, as was asserted, of George Wilkinson, of Winona, with a proposition to blackmail Windom out of SIO,OOO to $20,000. M. J. McCloskey, Windom’s agent at Durango, testifies that Windom’s property there is only abouts9,ooo, instead ot the fabulous amounts claimed, and Robert Dickey, superintendent of the Tempest mine, testified that Wilkinson told him he was,going to make it hot for Windom, and bust him for senator if it cost SIO,OOO. Sweet Charity. New York, Jan. 7.—Oswald Ofctendorfer, proprietor of the Staats Zeitung, and other well-known citizens, attended a meeting today, called by the Turnverein, to devise means for relieving the distress caused by the floods in Germany.

For weak lunge, sp t’.tng of blood, weakstoniaou, night sweats und the early stages of consumption, “Golden Medical Discovery” is specific. By druggists.

A STRANGE REMINISCENCE. The Escape of a Wed-Known Ex Army Surgeon from an Unforeseen Danger. (Baltimore American.) Messrs. Editors: I seldom appear publicly iu print, but the facts connected with rny experience which follow ore so striking, and bear sp closely upon the experience of others, chat L venture to reproduce them eutire: In the month of September, 1879, I was practicing medicine iu New Orleans. The summer had been excessively hot, and everybody was complaining of being exhausted and feeling tired. It was not an unfrequent occurrence to have patients ask for something to relieve this weary sensation, and that I should also partake of the same universal lassitude or weakness ilid not alarm me. I supposed that overwork and exposure had produced a temporary physical prostration; therefore, I made a t rip ro Bt. Paul, Minn., thinking that a rest of a few weeks in a cooler climate would soon reinvigorate me. Little did I dream, however,what was in store for me. After getting settled in my new quarters, I took a short walk every day, and patiently awaited a return of streugth, nut, iu spite of all my efforts I seemed to lie losing strength; ami even any slight exercise became laborious and tiresome. During this time I had frequent dull aching pains in my head, and through my back und hips, occasional shooting pains in various parts of the body, with soreness, shortness of breath, and palpitation of the heart. My feet and hands would ho like ice one day, and nurn with heat the next. I had no desire for food, and what I did eat distressed ine; ray sleep became disturbed with tho frequent d.*slre to urinate. The quautity of fluid passed would at one lime be small und at another quite profuse. Then for days I would be perfectly free from this desue and nothing seemed to be tho matter; nevertheless my debility gradually increased. My eyelids were puffed out; my bowels were alternately torpid and too active, the urine would be clear some days, on others it would he of high color and deposit a briekdust sediment, and at still others there would be a whitish appearance ami a thin greasy scum would rise to tne top. The pains in my head, back, chest, joints, bowels aud bones were horrible in the extreme. I went in vain from place to place and consulted the best medical authorities the country affords; I would have a chill one day and a burning fever the next. I suffered excruciatingly with a numbness of my feet and bauds, amt at the buse of the brain and between my shoulders; at times my limbs and bodj* would bloat, and physicians said I was suffering from the dropsy and could not reoover. How I could be so blind to the terrible trouble that was devouring tue, I do not know; but there are thousauds today who arc suffering from the same cause and are ns ignoi ..ur of its nature as [ was. My skin was the color of marble ut one time, aud then again if would bo like saffron, and tliia terrible restlessness, and, I might say, wildness, was followed by a dull, heavy, drowsy sensation. I was wasted to a mere skeleton, except when the dropsical bloat occurred. I tried all the celebrated mineral waters of this country and Europe; all kinds of medicines and all kinds of doctors. Still no help came. I lay at my hotel in Philadelphia, where I was temporarily sojourning, given up to die by friends ami physicians alike, when there providentially came into my hands a little pamphlet which I carefully read, and from which I got a view of my real condition, which no other agency had revealed. Acting on its advice, I had my water analyzed at once, and, to my surprise, albumen and tube casts were found in large quantities. A skillful physician was sent for and apprised of the fact, lie said I had Bright's Disease, and that death was certain. My friends importuned me to take a remedy which had won a great reputation for the cure of all forms of kidney diseases, and I therefore laid aside my preju dice and commenced its use. At first uiy stomach rejected it, and I had to use small quantities; but after the first five days my stomach retained full doses. This was one year ago last October, and uiy improvement was rapid aud permanent. I have regained fifty of tho sixtyfive pounds of tlesh L lost during tuy illness, aud I feel as well to-day as I ever did, and I can unreservedly state that my life was saved by Warner’s Safe Kuluey and Liver Cure, the remedy l used. It may seem strange that I, being a physician and an ex-array surgeon, did not have the water aualyzed before; but such is tho fact. I had the symptoms of everv other disease, and I did not suspect that ray kidneys were in the least particular out of order; and here is Just where I was in the greatest danger, aud where most people who read this article are in danger, l find that lam only one of thousands who are suffering from kidney disorders, which, neglected, surely terminate in Bright’s disease. I also know that physicians may treat these disorders for months without knowing clearly what the trouble is. aud even after ascertaining the cause, be unable to prevent it. When (tenth, however, tin ally overtakes tHe helpless victims they disguise its real cause, attributing it to heart disease, convulsions, apoplexy, vertigo, paralysis, spinel menningetis, blood and ureiuic poisoning, etc., etc. Words, of course, fail to express ray thauks to H. H. Warner & Cos., of Rochester, N. Y., for giving the world such a needed and certain specific as the Safe Kidney aud Liver Cure, but such as they arc I gladly give them; while to the thousauds to whom I have lectured upon the laws of health and hygiene I commend this let ter most cordially, and warn them to beware of the insidious nature of a disease over which physicians confess they have no control, and which, in one form or another, is carrying more people to untimely graves than auy other malady.

Oil, My Back! That's a common expression and has a world of meaning. How much suffering is summed up in it. The singular thing*about it is, that pain in the back is occasioned by so many things. May be caused by kidney disease, liver complaint, consumption, cold, rheumatism,dyspepsia,overwork, nervous debility, &c. Whatever the cause, don’t neglect it. Something is wrong and needs promptattention. No medicine has yet been discovered that will so quickly and surely cure such diseases as Brown’s Iron Bitters, and it does this by commencing at the foundation, and making the blood pure and rich. \Vm. P. Marshall, of Logans* port, Indiana,writes: “ Mywife has for many years been troubled from pain in her back and general debility incident to her sex. She has taken one bottle of Brown’s Iron Bitters, and I can truthfully say that she has been so much benefited that she pronounces it the only remedy of many medicines she has tried.” Leading physicians and clergymen use and recommend Brown’s Iron Bitters. It has cured others suffering as you are, and it will cure you
