McKae, Chairman of Executive Commutes. SUPREME COUIiT DISTRICTS. There seems to be a misapprehension jn same portion of the state as to the nuui ber of supreme Judgos and the manner in which the state has been districted. Prior to the adoption of our present constitution the Supreme Court conel&tedof three judges, wbo were appointed by tbe governor, wltb the approval and confirmation ot tbe ßenate. Tt present constitution provides that the Supreme Court shall consist ol not less tban ihre nor more than live Judges, who are to te elected by tto people cf the Btate. Section 3 ol article t of the Constitution provides that the btate shall be divided Into as many districts 3 tbere are judge of the Supreme Court, and such districts Bhall bo lormed of contiguous territory, a nearly equal n proportion as, without dividing a county, the

same can be made. One of said Judges sball be elected from each district, a id reside therein, but said judge sball be elected by the electors of the mate at large. By the act of May 4, 1S52, the number of judges

was fixed at four, and tbe state was aiviaej Into lour districts. At tne special session of 1872 the number ot judges was Increased to five, and the state was divided Into five districts. THE DIFFERENT DI8T2ICTS. Judge Busklrk Is now in the first district, wblcb consists of the following counties: Monroe, Owen, Clay, Parke, Morfctn, Sallivan, Greene, K.nox, uaviess, aiartin, Du bois, Pike, Gibson, Posey, Vanderburgh, Warrick, Soencer, Perry and Orange. Judge Downey is in the second district, which is composed of the following counties: Ohio. Rush. Swltr9rland, Dearborn, Shelby. Brown, Lawrence, Crawford, Har rison, Floyd, Clark, oott, jenerson, mpley, Decatur, Bartholomew, Jackson, Washington and Jennings. Judge Pettlt is in the third district, consisting of the following counties: Tippecanoe, Johnson, White, Warren, Fountain, Montgomery, Clinton, Boone, Tipton, Hamilton, Marion, Vermilion, Putnam, Hendricks and Vigo. Jadge Worden is in the fourth district, which is the following counties: Allen, Whitley, Huntington, Wells, Adams, Grant, Blackford, Jay, Delaware, Randolph, Howard, Madison, Hancock, Henry, Wayne, Fayette, Union and Franklin. Judge Biddle is in the firth district, which consists of the following counties: Lake, Benton, Porter, Laporte, St. Joseph, Elkhart, Kosciusko, Marshall, Starke, Jasper, Newton, Pulaski, Fulton, Wabash, Miami, Cass. Carroll, Lagrange, Steuben, DeKalb and Noble. Jadge Biddle was elected in 1874 tor six years. The terms of office of Judges Pettlt, Downey, Worden and Busklrk will expire on the third day of January, 1877, and consequently elections will be held In their districts in 1876. When Judge Busklrk was elected in 1870, Marlon county was in his district, but is now in the thlrd'distrlct. SEYMOUR'S SAYINGS. VALUABLE VIEWS ON THE SCHOOL QUESTION. THE "FALSE ISSUE" RAISED BY THE THIEVES AND PUBLIO PLUNDERERS IN POWER. The New York World reports au interesting and an Instructive interview with the Hon. Horatio Seymour: In answer to a question as to his opinion of the school or anti-Catholic issue, lately imported, tbe governor Bald that, In the first place, what the republicans call the school question is not the school question at all, Evy one knows that it is brought up to excite sectarian paasio'ic; it is a mere strategic move ruent ou a very ser ous question. Strattgical movements In politic, sid he, rarely succeed, and never when the motives are so trar!iareut a in this case. The very fact that the no vers ieel that our sitol system is so popular with the American people prove i that tto;e Is no danger of its being overthrown. Mere political strategy is very odious at this time, for the people leeltta It la an attempt to turn the public attention away from the reforms which ard needed to relieve tLo public distress It is simply paying to American citizens, "Le.t us talk about something else lean bad legislation and worse admlclstra tlon." It is very much like giving a relig ions tract to a starving family. If. our city, state and national governments, continued the governor, without regard to their political characters, will cut down taxation atd les n expenses they will do much to restore confidence and revlvo business; but 6very man knows this will not be done if the pub lic mind is to be agitated by either sectional or eectariau hate. Aside Irom these objec tions of principle, Gov. Seymour thinks that those who are striving to bring in this policy of hits, with a view of covering their transactions by CLOUDS OP PASSION AND PREJUDICE, have made a blunder fatal to themselves. It lost them, said he, tbe state of New York at the las- electioa. In this city the labor question turned away many votes from the democratic rarty. It would have swept a much larger number Into the republican ranks if its leaders had not made tns sec tarian issue. In the interior of the state we have nearly 1,000 miles in length of cana's running into all sections. The stoppage ol work threw great Dumbers out ot employ' meet, who could git nothing to do e!se where, and who were appealed to bv their former om ploy era to vote against tbe demo cratic ticket on that account. These ap peals would have carried tbem oil but lor the sectarian issue. A large number ot German Catholics have heretofore voted for the republican ticket, and many Hebrews, an important class of our citizens. Beyond these, many ot the smaller denominations of Protestants were diaeusted with a policv which they iolt in the end would reach tbem. The republicans also lost sight ot another great fact. When the know-nothing feeling was excited a large number ot tbe foreigners lived in our large towns, and the great number of local officers and the frequency of local elections ca" orally excited, trom time to time, pre lud ices between difleren nationalities. But since that time tbe Germans and Irish have scattered throughout tbe country. They have a strong desire to become tbe owners or.farms, while it is A MATTER OF GREAT BEC1EET that in too many instances the Americans are inclined to leave their farms and to go Into the towns and cities. This is particu larly true oi tbe young men. In all parts of this and of other states tbe Irish and the Germans are getting to be the owners of farms; they are hard working, saving and prosperous, and they have gained the re s pect of all classes or our business men who seek their custom and are anxious tor their g"od will. Tbe Irish are making great efforts throughout the country to pro mote temperance among themselves, While the adopted citizens 'are thus becom ing valuable members of society and Import ant agents in promoting the business in to rests of the whole community, it will not be possible now to excite against them any narrow prejudice) so at war with the genius of our government. In answer to a question as to what benefit could accrue to the republicans by making an issue of the rengious question, the gov ernor tald tli3 republicans have certainly notbinK to gain by it, for that class ot men who like to indulge either In sectional rr sectarian prejudices have always voted for their ticket. They will surely drive out from tbeir ranks many who have heretofore acted with them, while our anxious busi nf s men, our suffering mechanics and ou laborers out of employment will feel them selves insulted by such efforts to turn the public mind from the causes of tbeir die tree, and thev will regard such attempt in the light of declarations that there will be nnreiotmof the abuses in city, sta'-e or general govern tuenta. Iu a word, Mr. Hev mour thinks that tbe ftct of tbe republicans bavlng recourse to euch desp2iater3mcdics vLovra tue dteparateJy LOW BBS OF THEIR POLIT"CAL FORTUNES. In regard to the proper act on to bs taken by congress oa the currercy question the governor thinks that cotblig at all will be done this time, the Senate being republ! can. In the course of the coming year we shall have such developments with regard

to the business of the country as will enable congress to act more wisely at Its next session. There is a pervading business distress at this time very much throughout tbe commercial world; agitation and confusion prevail, which would more likely be made woiHS tban better by congressional meddling. Congress has two clear duties, to cut down expenses and lessen taxation. As to tbe third term. Governor Saymour says be has given it no special thought, but as

far as the republicans are concerned, It is simply a question ot wbetber we shall have Grant or Grantlsm in tbe person of some one else. THAT RAILROAD ROBBERY. The Details of the Daring Exploit of Masked Men on the North Missouri Road. HOW IT WAS DONE. AM EXPRESS CAR ENTERED AND THE MESSENGER OVERPOWERED PROM 7,000 TO 10,000 SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN CARRIED OFP. The St. Louis Republican ot Sunday gives the details of the train robbery reported la the telegraphic columns of the Sunday Sentinel : Between the hours of 5 and 6 o'clock yesterday morning tbe car of the United States Express Company attached to the night express or the North Missouri railroad, bound east, was entered by two masked train-robbers, wbo overpowered the messenger and carried off tbe money and valuables, variously estimated to be worth from 7,000 to 10,000. Tbe robbery is supposed to have occurred between Ferguson and JenDlngs stations, but it is not certainly known. The story ol the robbery, according to the beet information obtainable, runs about as follows: The exprtst car Is an ordinary one, having a door at each end secured by a selffastening lock and by a chain which is fastened loosely on tbe Inside, so that the door can be opened a lew Inches, but is still secure. Theobjeit of this is thai the messenger, when any one knocks lor admission, may be able to see who is there betöre leavnz the door unsecured. On taking charge ot the car at Kansas City the messenger, Charles Ktncaid, noticed that the cbain on tbe rear door had been rendered useless, a staple into wkioh it Is fastened having bee-D drawn out, probablv by design. The express car was Immediately behind the tender to tho engine and in front ol the baggage car. The messenger had in bis care a large ex prasBmaa'd trunk contaiolug package, aud a safe coufaiuing valuables, Jn the safe wai A I.ArOE AMOUNT OF MONET, aleut f 7,000, and othar valuables tbat may bs worth ?3,000 more. Among the money packages was one of o.OOO. After rcaihlug Mexico the express messenger bai no work to do, as the train makes no stops at small Btatlons,and, being a night train, had little except through express matter. As poon, therefore, as the train pulled out of Mexico he incsier.ger prepared to take tbe r-6t of be trip easily, llesajste piacaa a oox against tbe door to make it more eecure, on account ol the inemciency ot the Cham, and then lay down to take a nap be fore reaching tbe end of the run. He immediately fell into a doee and continued napping until the train reached St. Charles, where be got up and put some wood in tha stove. This done, he lay down aain and went to sleep. How long he slept he dees not know. It Ouold not have been lctg, as fct, Charit s la not far distant. His Awakening, however, was by no means a p'eatarjt one. He says he ne.ther noticed nor heard anything unusual until be felt a heavy band on bis collar. He opened his eves and was somewhat bewildered to see two men standing over him. uneor the men had a revolver in each htn?, coth lock Ing the messenger square In the eyes Tte other riian-had a revolver in one hand while with the other be held Kluoaid by the cat collar. Neuter spoke, but a Bturdy pull at the collar made tbe messenger s'anl up. u uh men wore masKs or duck ciotn and both wore abort heavy top cost?, bu tonrd tightly up to the chin. Convinced thit It would be perfectly ns3les to resist, tbe rnesengor remained perfec-ly passive in the hands of his captors. Ihy kept briskly at work, evidently havinz no lutentiou ol losing any time. Oce ot tbe men still held him by the collar, while tfce other went through hia pookets and secured possession of his keys. Having obtained tbe keys, the robber immediately unlocked and opened the large mt avengers' trunk which con tained part ot THE PACKAOFS IN KINCAID's CARE. These he quickly emptied ont'on tho car floor, and Kincaid, wbo was standing by watching the whole proceeding, suddenly found himself jerked against and into the b'f, trunk. When he was well in oue ot the robben put a single package into the trunk 'lor a pillow," Kincaid says, atter which the rover was shut down and carefully recured by the strong etrars with which it is bound. The imprisoned messen zer was thus at liberty to take things easy again rand continue bis cap it be chose, tnough it is narqiy reeessary to say he didn't choose. Of the subsequent movements of the robbers of course Kincaid knows nothing beyond what is indicated by the traces they left behind. When the train arrivd at tbe Biddle street depot, it was of course noticed that Kincaid did not appear as us aal. The car was locked and no answer could be obtained from any oce inside. Finally a key was procured, and on entering tbe car the employes of tbe company fonnd everything in nearly good order, except that tbe contents of tbe package chest were catterred about on tbe floor. A few fint cries from the interior ol tbe big trunk called them to more fully appre elate the situation, and then they saw that the C3r bad indeed been robbed. They opened tha chert and released Kincaid from his confinement. He was pretty well nmothered, but totn canne around all right. He had been very carefully handled, and didn't show a scratch 'of any kind. The robbers had carried ofl the keys with them, but the kafe was taken immediately to the office of the company, wheie it was opened and found to have been 'PLUNDERED OF ALL ITS valuables. The express company are not very free to tell exactly what is missing from tbe safe, but it is reported to have contained as high as 12,000. Of course, the detectives are at work on the lob, but they don't seem especially confident of catching tbe thieve. There appears tho greatest difficulty in striking good information on which to work. Kincaid is unable to give more tban tho most vague description of the men. One, he says, was about five feetlen inches tall, and the other a little heavier built, not quite bo tall. Both wore short dark coats, one a little faded, and that is all be knows about them. lie didn't even hear tb;m epeik. lie had not the slightest intiuia'ion of their coming till tbey stood by him. The lock on tbe car la unbroken, consequently they must have had' a key to the latch ot tbe door and must tuvo entered by the rear platform, as the cbin on tha front door was undisturbed. Kincaid thinks the men mast have entered the car this Bide of Furguson's station, as he does not remember the train's stopping tbere while tie wa? In the trunk. It bas not thus far been ascertained that any one came on board at Furguson excepting tbe man who checks baggage for transfer, nor did be see any one about the depot before the tram ar

rived at Furgason. It U thought the meu might have taken tbe train at St. Charles and kept the pla'form until thev munaed

to enter. Of course, after tbey unlocked tbe door they had to push bard enough to mbve the box Kincaid bad placed against the door. This, be eayp, was tbe largest box lie bad in his charge toat trip, and would weieh almnt one hundred and titty pounds. THE NOISE OF THE TRAIN would prevent any ordinary sound from attracting attention, especially of a sleeping man. Altogether tbe affair is quite remarkable. No one. ss far as can be ascer tained, passed through the baggage car. which is immediately in the rear of the ex press car, and in which thre is always a man. The lact that Kincaid discovered tbe cbain broken on the rear door door has led to tbe suggestion that the men may have fixed that at Kansas City and ridden through. Osgood, the conductor of the train, appeared unab'e to recollect taking on any suspicious characters, nor is it known at what point the robbers left the train. It was stated about tbe depot Yesterday that the train had been slackened by signal at the bell rope about six miles outside the city limits, but the engineer could not be found to verify the report, and. tbe detectives are reticent as to an information tbey may bave obtained. Kincaid, tbe agent, has been some six or even years In the employ of the company It is not surmise 1 that the perpetrators of this bold act are identical with the "Southeatt gang," or any of the notorious train robbeis tbat have made their mark in th9 lows" "Gad's Hill." or other noted rob beries of this class. Their method was altogether different. Various theories are advanced ss to the escape of tbe robbers some maintaining that they bave probably crossed tbe river and taken refuge in tbe bottom on the other side, while others think it quite possible tbey came on to tbe outskirts of the towu before leavine the train. Perfect Health. Everybody should value their health more than money. It Is criminal suicide to neglect Coughs, Colds, and Sore Hhroats, when such ajlnientg may result in fatal Pulmonary Complaints. Their eafety will be secured by using Wishart'a Pine Tree Tar Cordial which speedily parities all inflammatory blood. Brown's Bronchial Troches fjr Pulmon ary and Asthmatic Disorders, have proved their efficacy by a test of many years, and have received testimonials .from eminent . men who have iutd them.

The reason la easily discerned. Ith not only on account of skill born of knowledge, and cultivated by a large and constant experience which gives them almost aa intuitive perception of the location and nature of the disease, but a'so by their care ful painstaking In examination, which enables tbem to give an opinion ef no little value, and one on which their patients can rely. But es pecially commendatory is tbeir candid dealing. Thejeople are bcglnnicg to find oat tha'.t hese physicists are not afraid of telling Incurable cases the truth, and that when they say 'we can help you,' they mean just what they say. In fact, it la more common for patients under tbeir care to realize more tban the promised benefits. than otherwise. By their system of advance payments they are at liberty to devote them selves entirely to their professional duties; consequently, cne patient does not have to pay for the collection of another's account, nor for the losses entailed by poor bills. They make no charge for preliminary examination. Let all who are a filleted give them a call." Sun. Another Soul Made Happy. "0! the numerous cases submitted to our notice, we enly have space to mention that of the well-known and popular Ticket Agent, William Powell, 161 South Illinois street, who, forth past two years, ha been a great sufferer from that obstinate disease, rheumatism.

Something of Interest to tbe Old

Folks, and to the Bijs ml Girls. The BomIou Journal, in a recent lsiu. says: Tlcture to yourself what a mazine for chil dren ought to be how bright and winning In contents, bow pure and stimulating In teach ing, how resplendent with pictures, and thea torn over the page of St. Nicholas, and you will ncd your Ideal realized." The Chicago Inter-Ocean aavs: st. Nicholas is an institution Of Which Tonn nrl CHA America sre aa proud as England is of Punch. Akorue without KL. Nicholas," continues the writer, "does not deserve to own any boys and girls; bo dog should wag Its little tail while pressing its noe through the area railings; emphatically, w would observe that sheuid the sun condescend to shire upon that house, hit solar mtjesty would make a big mistake." The first vol ame of Bt. Nicholas was a sur prise even to the public that had heartily wel comed it, number by number. Newspaper critics expressed enthusiastic approval; children and parents were alike delighted, and ongratulatory letters from distinguish ed mea and women poured in upon the publishers and editor. Charles Dudley Warner wrot; r not see how it can be made any better, and if children don't like It, it is time to change the kind of children in this country Whittler, our great p: et, wrote: "It Is little to say of this magaxlne that It lathe hist child's periodical in the world," and words of hearty commendation came acro-a the ocean from tuch earned workers and popular favorites of the young as Ueo.ifacdonald, Christina Rost-eltl and Canon Kingsley. Eeantl fully bound, superbly illustrated, and filled with good things from the best wrikra (including Ibree long serial stories), the first volume of HI. Nicholas, complete in itself, Is a finer Christmas gift for girls aud boys to-day than any single book iu the market, excepting BT. N I ClIOLAS FOR 1S75, which, with Its magnificent pictures, Its two complete serials, and Its Innumerable shorter stories, sketches, poems, fairy tales, rhymes and jingles, bits of wlndom, its French, German and Latin stories Its .'an and .ts pnzsles, Jack-in-the-polpit, the Letter-box, etc., etc., Is even more superbly attractive. BT. NICHOLAS lült 1S7J AND 1S75. 4 VoLS. For the convenience of libraries, and because many chiidrcn find the two large volumes for 74 and 75 rather bulky to handle, we have had these 2i numbers bound in four elegant vol rmes, and Inclosed in a neat box, under the general title of THE BT. NICHOLAS LIBRARY. These four volnmcs are sold for jx, being only two dollars a volume a beautiful and valuable Christmas prerent for an entire family of young The New York Tribune says: "In the ava lanche of Immoral literature that threatens the children, same strong, vitally wholesome, and really attractive magazine is required for thf-m, and St. Nicholas has reached a higher platform, and commands for this service wider resources in art aud letters, than any of its predecessors or contemporaries." The Munday School Times says: "A cleaner, purer, more trustworthy periodical for children can not be named. The magazine does not claim to be religious, but It is on the side of all that is true and good, trim beginning to end." The religious pe-s all over the conatry heart ily commends Bt. Nicholas, ard virtually echoes the opinion of the New loi k christian Union, that it is "a delightful magazine lot all children, between five and eighty-seven." MT.
