THE ALLEGED COMPROMISE.

A Farther Expression of Popular Sentiment Concerning Its Advisability.

1 Falton County. Does Not Lik It. sIo the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal The Republicans and f air-minded Democrats Cf Falton eonnty unite in condemning the surrendering compromise of the Republican memlers of the Legislature to the revolutionary mob cf sand-bagpers led by the bullyine Green Smith. Vp to the time of the "surrender'1 the course pursued by Republicans In both branches of the Leculature was regarded by all honest men as the very best. There had been a record made of r)ili)i iinnhirinirthA name Republican need

"bo ashamed. But in the very hour of triumph, when it apreared to all that we held the key to the situation, some of our trusted representatives weakened and entered into partnership with Bully Smith and his craven henchmen, thus setting at nauphtthe glorious victory achieved by a hotly-contested campaign with the odds greatly against us. The people reasonably expected the Republican members of the Legislature to stand firmly and squarely upon their constitutional right and demand the rights and privileges to which they were entitled by every rule of law. The knowledge of the fact that in the time of supremo knportanco their trusted servants should become subservient to the dictates of the bully'ing usurppr from Jennings county, is regard as a sad commentary on the valor and courage of Republican legislators ' who certainly had a conviction as to what were their rights, but had not the courage of that conviction. The whole affair is looked upon as an uncalled-for blow at Colonel Robertson, who should, of right, to-day be presiding, as Lieutenant-governor, over the Senate instead of Green Smith, the usurper, who would

be more at ease presidine over a council of war In the camp of a body of Seminoles or Choctaws. A. Johnson. Akron, Jan. 24. Ipathlncton County Can't Understand It. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal; To say that the Republicans here are indignant at that cowardly "compromise" is to draw it exceedingly mild. They are hot. W. Ray Gardiner was at home on Sunday, and in the postofQce lobby gave a seance in attempted justification of his course, but a favorable result from him failed to materialize. Republicans here . cannot understand how right can be compromised with wrong, nor how a law-and-constitution-abiding spirit, can be compromised with a revolutionary one, and say: "If Gardiner did not think the Democratic majority in the Senate and minority in the House were Aiming at revolution why did he (Gardiner) introduce that resolution of censure of Judge Ayers's decision in the Lieutenant-governor contest one day, in effect declaring the Democrats revolutionists; and then, why did he the next day sign a compromise," which, if he was in earnest the day before, was, politically, signing a compromise with revolutionists nnd attempted law and constitution breakers; or, better, signing a political 'league with the devil, and a compact with hellF" Anti-Shipbcrnino Republicans. ViSHlNOTOH, Ind., Jan. 20.

The Democratic leaders in the Senate threatened to go further and unseat all the Republican Senators unless the latter agreed to the compromise. The Republican Senators gave way, and now they

defend themselves on tbe grouna inat. ineir seats at Indianapolis are just as important to them as Harrison's at Washington is to him a position that is impregnable on the theory that public office is a private perquisite. But an election at Indianapolis does not close the contest. , The Republicans have entered protests at everv sten of the present proceedings.

and have carefully prepared their case for an appeal to the national Senate in ca3e they are beaten at home. The questions to be settled on such an appeal would be the validity of the un

seating of the Republican members ot tne fat ate

Senate. The unseating was done without a hearing, no evidence has been taken, and there is no means of knowing anything definite about the merits of the controversy. But the national Senate will be Republican, and it is safe to say that the Democrats would lose at Washington any partisan advantage they may be able to secure at home. senator Campbell's card. Warsaw Times. Senator Campbell is out in a card, in the Indi

anapolis Journal, of Tuesday, explaining tne "compromise" that has created such an intense feeling throughout the State. His little drive at the "quill-drivers" of the State is nothing new. The press is generally blamed under such circumstances, though it seldom does more than

express the sentiments of the party to which it belongs. It will be difficult to explain bow it comes that ninety-nine out of every hundred voters of the State can be mistaken, and a few a very few Senators right on this subject. Senator Campbell can rest assured that the quilldrivers of the State could not have been drawn into a trap so thinly baited as that of the late "compromise." UNIVERSALLY DEPRECATED.

North Vernon IMatndealer. The arrangement at Indianapolis by which the people of the State were subordinated to the gang of political thieves, who, to obtain their ends, have resorted to whatever crime they regarded necessary, was received everywhere with surprise and indignation. We have not met or heard of a Republican who did not condemn it in language designed to be forcible rather than eleeant. We have not heard of or met a Demo

crat who did not deprecate it, except a few, a very few politicians who are destitute alike of conscience and honor. The great mas3 of Demo-. crats have from the beginning condemned the course of their leaders at the Capitol almost

without exception. WELLS COUNTY REGRETS IT. Blnffton Banner.

The Republicans of Wells county very much regret that the Republican members of the Legislature should have compromised away their rights, and especially those of Lieutenant-governor, who was not present at the caucus, and no means of entering his protest. The position of the House Republicans, only a day before, was the true position, and should have been adhered to, notwithstanding the menace ot a partisan sheriff and a few deputies. This is a hieh-hand-ed outrage when a sheriff can enter a legislative body as a menace to an executive officer, to keep him from discharging a sworn duty prescribed by the Constitution of the State. THE PEOPLE INDIGNANT. Monticello Herald.

By this surrender Republicans have placed

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.

Objects to Wholesale Criticism. To the Editor of tho Indianapolis Journal!

While the Republicans of Spencer county are very much disgusted, as well as humiliated, over the "compromise" of the Republicans of the

Legislature to the usurper Green Smith and the rest of the Democratic mob, we do not feel that the Republican papers of the State are dealing justly with the Republican members of the House. Why include all the Republican members, when it is evident that it was the committee that made the "agreement" Why not cast the blame where it belongsto the committee, and them only? Would it have been honorable for the members to have "gone back" on their agreement to the committee to abide by their decision! No. We believe our Republican members of the Legislature are gentlemen, and gentlemen of honor, and do not agree with the majority of your correspondents in thinking it was for the "lack of courage." Right will prevail, as it always does, and while it now seems dark to the Republicans, we believe a brighter day is coming. Rockport, Jan. 23. A Republican.

The Feeling In Urant Connty. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Your editorial with reference to the compromise of the Republicans and the usurpation of the office by Green Smith which justly belongs

to Col. R. S. Robertsc n meets with the hearty approbation of the Republicans of this county. In conversation with an ex memberof the Legislature and a formo? Republican leader in the House of Representatives, he said: "Had I been there, I should have entered my mo6t solemn protest against such proceedings." Grant county will be heard from in 1888 with a vengeance. Edgar M. Baldwin. Fairmount, Jan. 25. " Warm Feeling In Perry Connty. To the Editor of the Indiai.polls Journal You are altogether too mild in your condemnation of the "compromise" agreed to by the Republicans of the General Assembly nothing in the history of Indiana is so bad as this surrender of a great and victorious party to the domination of that brutal bulldozer Green Smith. Down here on the Ohio river there is not a liberty-loving, spirited Republican but is overwhelmed with shame. There is some consolation in reflecting that neither Gen. Harrison nor Colonel Robertson are implicated in this "surrender." "Citizen." Cannelton, Jan. 22.

Qnakertown IT as Backbone. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Jonrnal: The Republicans in this part of Indiana Union and Franklin counties are a unit condemning the cowardly compromise entered into y the Republican members of the Legislature, Ignoring the rijrhteof Colonel Robertson and recgnizlng the usurper, Green Smith, as president f the joint convention. The people are indignant, and feel that they have been wronged and cheated out of their rights by their weak-kneed Representatives. A day of reckoning will surely tome, J. M. Stanton. Quakietown, Jan. 25. An Indorsement from Lafayette. Ti the Editor of the Indiananolli Journal: The Republicans of old Tippecanoe indorse the Journal unanimously. We are for Harrison and Robertson and no compromise. The Journal is right, and never had a stronger hold on the public than it has to-day. m. . Lafayette, Jan. 25.

Comments of the Press. i A MASSACHUSETTS VIEW OP IT. Bocton Herald. There is a good deal of detail about the contest in the State of Indiana for the election of a

Ijnued States faenator which it would hardly be interesting to relate at length. The Democrats have scored tbe most points thus far, and the chances appear to be that they will choose the next Senator, if any party does. But the eenatorsbip from that State is not to be decided at home; affairs are so ordered that it will be passed upon at Washington. The Republicans have left the ground open for a contest whenever a Democrat shall appear in the Senate from that State. It will be carried on in a tribunal of which the Republicans have a majority, and, as "We some time since expressed the belief, they 'Will use this majority to givA their own side any advantage of which it may be cbareed that It Vras deprived in the Indiana State Legislature. The most the Democrats can expect is that the teat will be'declared vacant If they have by their tactics prevented a Republican from receiving credentials that will afford an excuse for admitting him, they have done all that there is any probability of their achieving. A QUEER COMPROMISE. EprineftVld f Mas Republican. That queer compromise in Indiana Is still In force, bnt it is not as mysterious as it at first appeared. It is the work of the Republican members of the Senate who want to bold their seats. It will be remembered that tbe malevities in each house Adopted rules that gave (hem the power to threw out any member of the minority with neatness and dispatch, and that )ba power was exercised in a few cases before Pie voting began, though the parties kept even as not to affect tbe majority on a joint ballot

their case in the hands of as villainous a body of men as ever disgraced the State Capitol, and it is only reasonable to suppose that these political desperadoes will make the most of their capture. Green Smith has been roundly censured for the miserable part he has played in the revo

lutionary scheme; but what shall be said of those Republican members who have voluntarily wended their way into the Democratic net and thus surrendered the points which have all along been so well sustained by law and jnsticel The people have a right to be indignant over such recreancy to a trust. HAS NOT WORKED BADLY.

Loeanport Journal. The compromise has not worked badly. The Greaser Democrats are glad to escape under it from their revolutionary programme, which would drive the last nail in the political coffin of the Democratic party in Indiana. No part of the record made by these greasers has been condoned or obliterated by this temporary expedient. All the guilt that caused it, and all of the reekless political crime that made it possible, stands, and will stand forever, charged to the Democratic leaders and their supporters who have foisted Mexican and Mississippi methods into the politics and government of Indiana. REPRESENTATIVE HARLEY'S POSITION. Delphi Journal. Much as the compromise entered into by the Senate and House for the election of a United States Senator has been denounced by Uepublicans throughout the State, it is gratifying to the Republicans of Carroll county to know that our Representative, Hon. Charley Harley, strongly protested against it and opposed it in every way; but when the majority passed it, he and "the others who stood by him had to give in or be bolters. Mr. Harley is giving his time and energy for the advancement of the wishes of hi3

constituents, and the interest of the Republican party. AN UNJUSTIFIABLE THING. C'onnersTllle Timos. Fayette county Republicans feel worse than they did when they were sold out by James Elliott, about fifteen years aeo, What do law and constitutions amount to when revolutionary Democrats trample both under foot and Republicans stand by and condone it by agreeing it shall stand? When Republicans compromised

with that wrong, they descended to it, and are equally guilty with the Democrats in setting aside the will of the people. No wonder the people are indignant and there is a general uprising against it DELAWARE REPUBLICANS NOT SO TENDER, Muticie Times. All this is done in the interest of harmony. Harmony is a sweet word, and is all well enough, but it is never the thine to compromise principle, risrht and justice to secure it. The Republicans of Delaware county are not so tender about the feelings of bulldozing Democracy as the Republican members of the Legislature appear to be. If they were not of a pious turn of mind they would express their feelings in language similar to that used by the Sentinel in referring to members of the Supreme Court THE MEMBERS KNOW BEST. Winchester Journal. A "compromise" was agreed upon between the Republicans and Democrats in ouState Legislature, last week, for the purpose of holding a joint session of that bodjr. ' The Journal believes that the Republican members are honest men, and would do nothing that would injure their party interest They are on the ground and in a position to know what is for the best interests of their constituents. NOT SO GRAVE AS IT MIGHT SEEM. Vinrennes Commercial. While the Commercial is amontr those who believe that the so-called compromise was a mistake on the part of the Republicans of the Indiana House and Senate, still it is possible that it is not bo grave a mistake as some would have it appear. One of the easiest things for an individual or a newspaper to do, is to find fault

BADLY.

IS NOT WORKING

Lcsransport Journal. The compromise doesn't seem to work so very badly after all, and is giving a great deal more significance than it deserved. Nothing has been lost by it, and the sober second thought will probably show that it is worthy of the approval of moderate, thinking people. DREADFULLY SHORT-SIGHTED. Elkhart Review. The Republican party will come in for its share in the delay of legislation resulting from the dead lock on Senator. That little agreement did a good deal of it Republicans are sometimes dreadfully short-sighted, and that was one of the times. - JUDOE BUCKLES OPPOSED THE COMPROMISE. Mnncie Times. ' It affords the Times much pleasure to announce that Judge Buckles was opposed to the compromise measure. He is old, but has his wits and some nerve. BACKBONE LACKING. Gibson Connty Leaner. It seems that backbone was lacking among Republican Senators when the Democratic peace scheme was thrust under their noses. IN THE END DEMOCRATS WILL SQUEAL. Lebanon Patriot We are of the opinion that in the end it will be the Democrats and not the Republicans who will "squeal" on tbe agreement business. THE UNIFORM COMMENT. Richmond Palladium. Wherever a solid and reliable Republican is heard from, he writes as his comment on the late compromise' 'Sold.

Personal and Local. The earnings of the Bee-line the first hair of January were $17,000 in excess of those the corresponding fifteen days of 1886. II. C. Hartman, who on Tuesday was elected president of the St Louis & Central Illinois road, was in the city yesterday. The C, I, St. L. & C. yesterday wheeled into line, and announce that, eommencine with today, they would sell at all of their offices, week-end tickets. Tbe Central Traffic Association has adopted a resolution limiting theatrical tickets closely in point of time, and requiring that they bear the name of the party entitled to use them. Edgar Hills, general freight agent of the Beeline, spent yesterday in the city. He is feeling

good over tbe volume of traffic the Bee-line 13 doing and the handsome results from the maintenance of rates. The managers of the L. E. & W. railway have issued orders that from and after Feb. 15 all the passenger trainmen must be uniformed. This includes conductors, baggagemen, brakemen, parlor and chair-car conductors and porters. Whether D. K. Folsom will take the agency of the American Express Company at St Louis

now hinges on the salary. Mr. Folsom is so pleasantly fixed at Indianapolis that it will take quite a money inducement to transfer him to

St Louis. H. W. Hibbard. general freight agent of the

Vandalia, spent yesterday in the city. He is so disgusted with pooling agreements and awards

in pools that he is not at all prejudiced against the interstate-commerce bill if it means the

death of pools.

The large falling off in shipments of live stock

thus far this year, as compared with those of the

first twenty-two days of January, leSo, is telling seriously in the revenue from this branch of traffic Through business has been fully 40 per cent lighter this year than in the corresponding period last year. R. D. Orlopp, route agent of the American Express Company, Indiana district, yesterday resigned to go to St. Louis to take the superintendence of the American Express Company's stables iit that point As a route agent "Dick"

had made himself highly popular in the territory over which he traveled. H. R. Dering last night received a telegram from Henry Monett stating that he would leave with the remains of D. M. Kendricfc to-night for Terre Haute, where the deceased expressed a wish that he might be burried, and he asks Mr. Dering to raako the arrangements for the funeral at Terre Haute, on Sunday. Rumcrs have been rurrent that east-bound rates were off 5 cents per 100 pounds over some of the lines, but careful investigation failed to find any grounds for such report. The agents of the local association are still bound by their agreement to strictly maintain rates, if the pools, for the time being, at least, are under a cloud. A deputation of thirty engineers on the Canadian Pacific railway, between Port Arthur and Quebec, waited on W. C. VanHorne, vice-president of the company, for an advance of wages. They considered that the company's receipts now justified an increase. The result of the conference was an agreement to raise the wages 20 per cent R. D. Hughes, general superintendent of the Ohio and Indiana division of the American Express Company, spent yesterday in the city, taking a general survey of matters. He says something will soon be done in the way of leasing or purchasing property for more roomy and convenient offices in close proximity to the Union

Depot On Monday night, coming over from St Louis on the local sleeper, Mrs, George W. Boyd lost a valuable diamond pin. After some inquiry, it was learned that the car-cleaner had picked it up when sweeping out the car, and, thinking it to be something of little value, took it home for his children. On learning that it was worth $200, he promptly returned it The rapidly expanding railway interest of the 'r nm Ci f V " mil 1 Vwa i.TvuAoan .I i - Vi a Iaii a. 1

uu " Miubu niu w a c a vac u ivu iu fcuu juuiuai i istie field by the Southern Railroad Age, the first number of which has come to hand. The Asr is a neat sixteen-pape monthly, and as its editors seem to be thoroughly acquainted with the field the new venture is to occupy, success will doubtless attend its career. Now it is said that the new company will not be reorganized to take control of the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago road before the middle of February, and it is quite safe to fix the time at March 1. After the reorganization is completed it will take several days to get a line of tickets on sale, distribute new supplies among the offices, and put things in running order. An iron and steel bridge over Tanner's creek, on the C, I., St L. & C, 160 feet in length, was completed yesterday. This road crosses this creek eight times, and within the last two years new bridges have been built resting on heavy stone abutments at each of the points the road crosses this stream, which in years past has given the company so much

trouble. ' The meeting of presidents and general managers called for next week in Chicago is looked forward to with a great deal of interest by railroad men generally. It is expected that it will be of two or three days' duration and that the interstate commerce bill will be discussed in all its bearings and a decision reached as to the continuance of pools under another name for selfprotection. When the interstate-commerce bill has full sway the manufacturers and merchants of In

dianapolis will discover that they have had advantages in rates which were not appreciated. There is not a business point in this country where sharp competition worked more in favor of the shipper than at Indianapolis. Especially is this remark true as regards shipments to the Southwest the West and the Northwest As an additianal means of Safety, and to secure more uniformity in the giving of train Orders, theC. ,H. & D. management has ordered that conductors and engineers, on reaching a terminal point, Bhall turn their orders into tbe train-dispatcher's office, where they will be kept on file. Any irregularities or inaccuracy will be noted, and the attention of the operator who gave the order will be called to such irregularity or inaccuracy. An article written by Dr. W. B. Outten, and printed in the Weekly Medical Review, published in St Louis, is surprising in its revelations. It appears that of all the accidents to employes upon the St Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern railway, for six years ending Dec. 31,

1884, 28 percent were caused In coupling and uncoupling cars. Nearly 20 per cent of all the accidents to employes upon the Missouri Pacific system in 1885, were coupling accidents. The frequency with which eminent lawyers

are removing frem other parts of the country to New York excites some comment Within the last two or three years, it is stated, some twentyfive of the best lawyers of the West and Southwest have removed to New York, among the number John F. Dillon, Wager Swayne, Robert Ingersoll, Wayne McVeagh, Ex-Governor Hubbard, of Texas, and now it is announced that George Hoadly is to remove from Ohio to that city. A prominent Chicago railroad official is quoted as saying that the interstate-commerce bill is the worst blow that the Chicago Board of Trade has ever had since it was organized. The bill was intended to build up the country business and break up commercial centers, as no preference would be given one point over another. By the provision of this bill, it required the man who had $1,000,003" invested in any enterprise to pay the same rates of freight as his competitor who had but $1,000 invested. On the first of next month the weather signal service on the line of the C, I., St. L. & C. will be established. There will be ten stations where observations will be taken at the same hour that the government takes observations, and at these stations what the character of the weather for the next twenty-four hours is to be will be posted. President Ingalls has designated the following stations for the signal service: Seneca, Kankakee, Sheldon, Lafayette, Lebanon, Indianapolis, Greensburg, Columbus, Sunmans, Lawrenceburg junction and Cincinnati It is quite probable that Henry Monett, general passenger agent of the West Shore road, will be made general passenger agent of the New York Central road, vice D. M. Kondrick, deceased. The writer of this item knows that a short time since the eeneral passenger agency of the Erie road was offered Mr. Monett, and on learning that fact President Depew, of the New York Central, requested him to remain with

them, as something better would torn up for Via than would ha the position of general pas

senger agent of the .ne. and he decided to declino the Erie's offer. Mr. Monett is a very

bright passenger man; received his early railroad education on the Pennsylvania lines. He was born in Columbus, O., in 1853, and entered

railway service in 1809 as a messenger boy. He went onto the West Shore at the opening of the road, March 1, 1883.

"Just as soon as the President attaches his signature to the interstate bill and appoints the

commissioners, the latter body," says the Cleve

land Leader, "will be asked by the railroad managers to define just what they must do under its provisions. President Depew, of the New York Central, says the bill is susceptible of four distinct interpretations, and a canvass of the views of railroad officials in Cleveland will disclose

nearly twice that number." A canvass among the officials at Indianapolis shows that no two officials agree in the interpretation of the bilL The changes alluded to as under consideration by the Pennsylvania and the Vandalia people in the running of their through passenger trains has been declared off, at least until the spring time-table takes effect The whole scheme will likely end in the Pennsylvania people puttiug on a new train out of Indianapolis or the sending out the train now leaving Indianapolis at 11 A. M. at 7:30 a. m. to meet the competition which the Bee-line gives them through their running a train out of Indianapolis at 7:30 a. m. Slight changes will, however, be made on the Pennsylvania lines. Sunday next the early train will leave ten minutes earlier than it now does, and the train which now arrives at Indianapolis at 10:20 p. m. will arrive at 10 p. m. The announcement in yesterday's Journal of the death of D. M. Kendrick, general passenger agent of the New York Central, was quite a surprise to his friends in this section, who were not aware of the fact that he has been gradually wasting away with consumption for some

months. Mr. Kendrick was forty years of age, and had been in the railroad service since 1872, he commencing on the Paris & Decatur road as

clerk in the auditor's office. In 1877 he came on to the Bee-line as district passenger agent, and Feb."3, 1880, he was appointed general passenger aeent of the I. & St L. road. In 1881 he was appointed general passenger agent of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Railroad Company. In 1885 he was appointed general passenger agent of the New York Central road, on the retirement of General Passenger Agent Meeker. His friends in this section will remember the deceased as being one of the most jovial and genial officials in the passenger service.

.Miscellaneous Notes. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad will show about $GGO,000 surplus for the year 1886, above its dividends, after carrying $350,000 to the sinking fund. Work on the California Southern from San Bernardino westward is progressing, and the rails are expected to reach Cuccamonga by the end of the month. The Baldwin locomotive works, in the year 1886, built 550 locomotives. The largest number ever built at these works in one year was in 1882, when5G3 engines were turned out The Atchison i9 reported to have guaranteed tbe citizens of Oceanside, Cal., railway connection with San Diego by its line in one yar. Actual work on the line is now going on near San Juan Capistrano. The emigrant-cars on the Union Pacific, which, as is generally known, are plain sleepingcara, are being fitted with curtains for the berths and supplied with cootcing-stoves, sinks for washing dishes and other conveniences. The fastest time ever made by a railroad train on the Pacific coast was made by a special engine and baggage-car on the Central Pacific which was sent from San Francisco to Sacramento to

secure the delayed costumes of the Aimee company. The run of 178 miles was made, deducting stops for ferriages and water, at the rate of about one minute and seven seconds a mile. The chief engineer of the Norfolk & Western railroad has received instructions to begin at once the necessary surveys for a line connecting that road with the Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas. Engineers will start for Bristol immediately. The line will extend in a southwesterly direction ISO miles to a place called Rockwood, on the Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas, and about seventy miles north of Chattanooga. vfc-o-negotiations between the Reading, the Baltimore & Ohio, and the Pennsylvania is alleged to have been mainly between the two former, with an understanding of what the Pennsylvania would do. The first step, it is said, will be the annulling of the old contract between

the Baltimore & Ohio and the Reading as to New York business. When this is done, the Pennsylvania will be ready to make terms with the Reading on coal business. "The more detailed reports of the testimony taken at the inquest on the Republic disaster on tbe B. & O." says the Railroad Gazette, "confirm the conclusions we then drew. A civil engineer has taken measurements which show the curve to be such an easy one that the passenger runner might have seen lights for two thousand feet or further ahead of him, so that if the freight had even a poor headlight even the fastest train ought to have been brought to a standstill, or very near it before colliding. The testimony giveB very" positive evidence that the engineman of the freight train was stupefied by liquor. It is quite apparent that the freight conductor had not enough force of character for a position of that kind, for there seems to have been some talk between the trainmen about protecting the train, and the conductor weakly submitted to being overawed by the engineman's surlinass."

TBE RECORD OF THE COtRTS.

Snpreme Court. Bon. Byron K. Elliott, Chief-justice. The following opinions were rendered Jan. 27: DEED MISTAKE EQUITY. 11933. Leonidas Boszell et al. vs. James .M. Itoszell. Decatur C C Affirmed. Mitchell, J. Whera a father paid the consideration for a lot tj one who held a title bond and who. without the father's knowledge or consent, directed the grantor to deed it to a son of the father, the latter may have the deed reformed. The operation of Section 2974 is restricted bv the subse

quent sections, and the case is within the first clause of the second section following. Appellant should have shown that, less than twenty years having elapsed, acquiescence after knowledge of the mistake was void, as it would render it inequitable to grant relief, to which the appellee would

otherwise have been entitled. PLEADING ADMINISTRATOR NOTE RELEASE. 1214L Milton M. Lotta et al. vs. Wm. C Miller, administrator. Elkhart C. C. Reversed. Howk, J. Where a complaint counts

upon a promissory note, and the anticipated defence to the suit is a written release of the maker from all liability on snch note by the payee and holder thereof so indorsed cn the note

as to become in some sense a part of the cause of action, the plaintiff cannot well avoid a statement as such complaint of such anticipated defence and of the -facts which show that such defence was void. If the facts then stated are not sufficient to avoid such defence, a demurrer will lie. (2.) An administrator who took" a note

signed by partners may, in good faith and for a reliable consideration, release one maker from further liability, and such release may constitute a valid defense to an action on the note. COLLATERAL ATTACK BILL OF EXCEPTIONS. 12782. John R Hall et al. vs. William H. Durham. Montgomery C C. Affirmed. Niblack, J. Where it is objected in an action to recover possession of land that a judgment recovered against the defendant's quieting title to same land was admitted in evidence, the inference is that the judg

ment was entered upon the proper orderbook and that it appeared to be properly signed, hence the objection is merely a col lateral attack and eannot be sustained. (2.) Where it is claimed that an instruction by the court to the jury to return a verdict for the plaintiff is erroneous, the entry thereof of the clerk is cot sufficient without including it in a bill of exceptions. NOTE DE3CRIPTIO PERSONS ESTOPPEL. 12825. Francis H. Walk et al. vs. Frederick W. Kuhhe. Allen C. a Affirmed. Elliott, G

J. In a note to 'T. W. Wollen, Attorneygeneral, " the words added to the name of tbe payee are merely descriptive of the person, and cannot in any event trammel the rights of a bona fide holder. It does cot lie with the maker of the cote to dispute the authority of the payee to accept and transfer the note. 13084 Frederick Peterson vs. Joel R. Townseed et aL Falton C C Dismissed.
