Hit is impracticable, then the people might as well throw ip the sponire and listen for the music of lalriei's horn and fubmit to be ioi.soncd to leath. Hut we do not believe the time has arrived for surrender. On the contrary, we Lolicve that it is quite practicable for the Legislature to enact a law that will go to the bottom of this foo4 joisoning business, and put ant lVectual stoi to it. Why should the people be using adulterated coffee, tea, firar, spices and medicines? Why should our people be subjected to th infamous t:ud of purtkiiins oleomargarine butter,

made of slaughter house garbage? The Chicago Tribcne remarks: '"There is no limit to the Iraud when once it in started; or at least tire limit i- only reached on the utter extinction of the genuine article. That limit has already been touched in the case of not a few drug"; it is nearly reached in the manufacture of artificial honey; and sugar and butter arc already far gone in the process ot deterioration. Surely it U time to stop. The greed which would amass riches at the risk of causing disease and death to thousands has had play enough. It has become a question of sell-prt-servation to the great mass of consumers. They must die if the adulterators le permitted to ply their nefarious art much longer. Iet us call a halt along the whole line and at once." Hut how can a halt he called except through the Legislature? If the law-makers

do not interpose, the ioboning business will ro on. The gred ' of the rascals who prepare and wll poisoned food and poisonous drugs w ill never be Mlisfied. The case demand a law that will reach the business and end It. PROTECTION FOR THE PEOPLE. l'erhaps no singic act' of the (Jeneral Assembly of 1877 has resulted in greater benefit to the people of Indiana than the act ot March 3 of that year, entitled nn act to regulate foreign In.su ranee Comian5es doing business in this Slate. This act contains three, and only three, proiasitions. The first of these is a change of that provision of the old act which jeriuitted Companies having a capital of $100,000 to do busines in the State. The new law changed this so as to require the Company to have a capital of at least SL-OO.OOO. The second provision clothed the Auditor of State with iower to examine or caruc to be examined every detail of the business of any Company ocrating in the State, whenever, in hi.s judgment, the interests and Mfety of the policy-holders of the State should require it, and with the additional power to revoke the authority of any ( Vtnpany to do busines.s in the State, when the conditions prescribed by law for granting it no longer existed. Previous to the act of 1877, foreign Insurance Companies had, been req'üired to file semi annually a copy of the statement of the condition of the Company with the Clerk of the Court of each County in which they did business. This one single copy of the btatcment lilcd in the C lerk's odicc w:t3 the only information required of a Company aä to its condition. The third proposition of the act of 177 so amended the law as to make it the duty of the Auditor of Slate to cause copies of these sworn statements to be published in the two leading daily newspapers of the State having the largest general circulation therein. All three of the.se provisions of the act of 1S77 were designed to work together in the interest of and for the good of the insuring public of the State, and became a law with only three i sen ting voles; and it is but due to truth v. d exjerience to say that more than the i.ost .sanguine Jiopes and expectations of the advocates of the measure have been realized. One of the beneficial effecto of the law was that under its provisions a large number of Companies, most of which were w eak and unreliable, were obliges! to withdraw from the State, thereby giving the people only the better and safer Companies. In view of the general crash that ha.s swept over the country, it is a significant fact that not a Mtigle Fire Insurance Company has failed, while having risks in the State, since the provisions of this law have been in force. The number of Companies unable to stand the scrutinizing tests of the law, and which have withdrawn from the State under the enforcement f its provisions, is over fifty, or about one-third of the entire number 'doing business in the State. Of thcac, twenty-four have since filled or ceased (o do business, and but for the healthful provisions of the act of 1877. the people of the State would to-day be mourning the loss of thousands of dollars j aid to these weak and failing Companies whit h could not stand that the light of day be let in upon their real condition. It will certainly not be in the interest of the people of the State that any of ihe'-e safeguards and preventives of imposition and fraud which are just and proper in them dves, and not burdensome, and width do not cost our people a cent, shall be taken away. Neither the National banks nor our State and savings banks, in fact no other institution or interest of any kind, cithrr foreign or home, which is seeking the confidence aad business of our people, is asking that its condition be i exempt Irom public view, except the single oneof foreign InsurauceCompanies. It would seem that an interest which, during the four years which have elapsed .since the passage of this law, a period of the nw,t extreme hardship ever vbited upon our people, so managed as to take out of the State, and away from our people forever, more than , fie millions of dollars, lessening thereby the i " money circulation and the taxable wealth of ' 'he State justso much, to le made upand paid by the citizens, niigut alloruto pay asum less than three-si vthsof liercent.of itsprofits, in order that their valuable and profitable customers of the State might have necessary and proper information as to the condition and merits of these Companies soliciting their patronage. Tiik Fürst a; IJradley Manufacturing com pany, of Chicago, one of the largest manu facturers of plows ard other agricultural implements in the world, have recently located a branch of their business at Nos. 177 and 170 Fast Washington street, thi.s city. This is no ordinary announcement, being exceptional from the fact that the bare state ment conveys a world of meaning to botl our city and country readers. This being the case, we might do well to make no further comment, but we feel it due, a.s well-wishers of our city and State th:it we should speak more fully regarding the causes that have induced this wealthy Company to establish a branch house in India:iaiolis. The real cause, or reason, is. that our situation as a trading and distributing ioint is attracting attention abroad, and in this case recognition has been followed by characteristic Chicago action. Wc may well 1e, and are, proud of our noble State, and her steady advancement in material pro.ficrity, but we regret to say that Indian-ai-olis, admirably situated as she is as a commercial center, has hardly kept pace with her sister cities possessing fewer advantages. This is an obvious fact, and one to le regretted. but . .truth and duty compels ita acknoe-dpment.

Indianapolis, with eighty-ix - of the ninety-two Counties of our State in railroad connection with her, should to-day exhibit a larger record of trade, and thinking that the example of aCbicago house may not be without a fruitful lesson to those amongst us who should lead olT in legitimate enterprises, wc will brietly recount the business history of the Fürst A Dradley Manufacturing Company, who, witk characteristic enterprise, serk for trade wherever it may be found.and, when found, manage to increase it. Nearly thirty years ago, Mr. Conrad Fürst, a German, and Mr. David Bradley, American, both clear-headed, industrious men, joined in partnership in the manufacture of agricultural implements, and from that day to this they have ever stood in the front rank, not only a.s puccessful manufacturers but also of upright, honorable, business men.

I Thus have they worked, side by side, for more than half a lifetime an illustration ol indivilual rectitude and mutual confidence not often seen in this restless Wettern country. The first year they made a few hundred plows, etc.; the next more, and bo on increasing year by year during the long term between '5 and "81, unti) now, with a factory covering nearly a square in Chicago, equipped with the finest machinery, it requires the services of Oi u workmen the year around to manufacture enough implements to meet the ever-increasing demand for "Fürst & Bradley" goods. How was such a trade creak-d, and howhas it been held against all competition for so many years? There can be but one reply ; merit in their implements and honest dealing made the trade; energy and enterprise retains it. The ever-increasing demand proes the first assertion; the last may be better understood when we state that the Fürst fc Bradley ManiifactHringConipany have today, additional to its home establishment in Chicago, branch and transfer houses in St. Louis, Mo.; Sioux City, la.; Teoria, 111.; Kansas City, Mo.; Dallas, Tex.; Quincy. III.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Columbus, O.; St. Joseph, Mo.; San Francisco, Cal., mid, lastly, the Indiana-olis House, just opened. This long list illustrates American enterprise, and the success that has followed tills Ccmianys career should stimulate to activity the dormant energies of nu u who could, If they would, make our beautiful city advance in industry and wealth. While speaking of the Company's new establishment in this city, it will be gratifying to our country readers to say that Mr. J. H. Bradley, Secretary of the Company, informs us that the Company will always have in stock here the celebrated ''Warden City. Clipier" ' plows, also the "Fürst iV. Bradley" Wrought Frame Sulky Flows, sulky rakes, cultivators, harrows, etc. , together with repairs for parts broken or worn out. There will also be a full stock of "Fürst it Bradley" chilled plows, an implement new in their list for this section ; but which, we are assured by the testimonials of numerous farmers in other sections, has no equal in the market for excellence of make and fine work accomplished. The Company's sales-rooms and warehouses in this city, situated, as they are, almost at the doors of the several freight houses, and also within half a square of tiie Court House and Public Market, renders their location a very excellent one, being convenient for shipping goods, and also for fanners and dealers to call win ti visiting the city. Indeed, we should not he surprised if Fast Washington street and vicinity located the bulk of the implement and machinery trade, so soon as present leases permit removals. Already we notice that the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company a Chicago house of world-wide reputation have established their Indiana State Agency at 107 and 100 East Washington street only four doors from the Fürst Bradley Manufacturing Company's estab lishment. Fanners visiting the city will lind it interesting to call at those two houses, for we have no doubt they will be treated courteously by Mr. W. B. Holton, manager for the Fnrst Sc Bradley Company and Mr. J. B. Hey wood, State Agent for the McCormick Comitmy. John C. Ca morse was not afraid to die. Mr. 11. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, in giving some interesting lacts concerning Mr. Calhoun's last moments, in the Atlantic, says: "He had always said to me previously and to others through his sickness that he had no apprehensions of death; that it was an event in relation to which he felt that he had no right to entertain a w ish. He was a man of few quotations, but one which he often used to me was that there was 'the same Providence on the fatal as the natal hour. He was not consulted as to his birth. nor did he believe that his wishes ought to weigh or even exist as to his death; such I suppose to have been his meaning." OBITUAUV. OENERAL JOHN LOVK. The painful Intelligence teaches us thLs morn ing at 2 o'clock that General John Love died but a brief hour or two ago. His friends have been apprehensive for several months past regarding his health, yet they will be unprepared this morning to bear of his death. We have no particulars of his lust moments up to the hour of going to press, beyond the report that bis ueath resulted from an affection of the heart. General Love was a very general favorite in this community. Everybody felt kindly to ward him. and he reciprocated abund antlv the same feeling. lie was a Virginian, born in the Old Commonwealth January 9, 120. He was some days over sixty years of age.

His wife was a daughter of the late Oliver H. Smlih, a distinguished and honorable citizen of the State, and at ouc time a United Stales Senator. We are forced to make very brief this resume of the life and services of General Love. At the time of his dent a he was one of the Board of State House Commissioners. FEKSOXALS.

Ex-Skxator Simon Cameron writes to Washington that he probably shall not start on his projected Southern trip "until after the Pennsylvania Senatorial election is over." After he shall have vi-itDd the Southern states he proposes to extend his Journey to Cuba and Tort-au-Prinoc. Vick rRSirENT Wiikehjr has presided nearly fo;r years over the orderly Senate and has never broken aMuglc gavel, says the New York Tribune. As Mr. Wheeler seldom presided over the Senate, w e do not see that he demonstrated any very great amount of precaution. It would be more to the point to know how many fi.-Mnß rods he broke witlilu the last four years. General Grant's kindness of heart is matter of comment for the Albany Express. It relate that at the reception there, the other day, an old man, poorly clad, passed the General timidly by as though lie thought the great man would not condescend to notice him. Quick as thout-ht thu General reached out after him. seized him by the collar, brought him gently tack, seized his band warmly and released him. G KNF.it w. Grant was given a reception by Mr. Dresel, in Philadelphia, the other day, and among those who passed in to shake his hand was a veteran Captain w ho fought under him in the early days of the war. As the solldier approached, the General called him by name, and said: "l remember, you lost your aim down in Mississippi. I am very glad to meet an old comrade." As the arm was lost nearly twenty yearn a;;o, and the two had not met since, General Grant's recognition, alter the host of people he has met since, seemed almost mirajulous. Or the late Father Edward Pureell, a writer in the Commercial, of Cincinnati, says: "It is within the positive knowledge of the writer that the nh in the lake of the Brown County Convent cami? to the edge of the pond on his approach; that the swans wild to all el e, came to the mimic beach nnd sang to him. In the bitter tiny of th. winter, now half goi e by, the birds of the. field came to the w indows of his convent retirement and fed from his bounty upon the sills. If only half satisfied, they knocked at the panes until the repast w as replenished." A curious custom of Father Turccll was that of staying clo6elyat borne until sunset, when he would take a short walk unaccompanied, generally goitg over the same route. A Viait to Plainfleld. Judge Overman, of Tipton, one day last week, made a pilgrimage to the Reformatory at 1'laintieM. At Kokomo, a few weeks cvious, the kind-hearted Judge, while lolding Court in the city of Kokomo, sen tenced a hov to this Institution, under rather peculiar circumstances. A terrible end between the father and mother of the youth, to which the bitter feelings or :rangeiuent that result In the average divorce are tame, made living with either for him out of the question. The fact that there is a home for homeless boys is a glorious commentary upon the Christianity of the State. The little fellowwas guilty of no crime, but the Court thought proper to restrain him from the unw ise indulgences of an imprudent mother or the temptations that are liable to beset one at his time of life. The parting between the mother and son was verv aflecting, and, in addition to this, the boy's absolute fright made the scene painful. Between the wo man, child, and venerable gentleman in ermine, there must have been something of a camp meeting. However, the Judge par tially reconciled the bov by assuring mm oi w hat the law contemplated in the Institu tion: and further, that in this particular case, his purse and jhtsoii would be devoted to w hat was best for tum. t urtlicr man this, he covenanted to visit tire boy at the Institution, and carefully examine into its workings. After arriving in the city Judge Overman found that the train did not stop at the village of Plainfield. Unwilling to break an appointment, esecially with a boy, he made the trip in a livery rig. The little fellow brightened up when lie saw the Judge, but stid, with tears, that he wanted to live with Ins mother. "If your mother had allowed you to live with your father, there would have been no necessity for sending you here," replied the Judge. "My father never did anything forme," sobbe'd the boy. "Your mind has been poisoned against him, my son; of my own positive knowledge, there is no better man in Howard County. When you arrive at the years of reflection you will know this. I promised to come to see you. I believe you a real manlv little fellow; I expect you to be well treated here: you have advantages that I did not have at your age, and I hope you will make the most of them. Write to nie, and I will come to see you again. You are guilty of no crime, and 1 hope you never will be." In the school room of Ihe Institution the Judge was delighted. The class was reviewing common fractions. He satisfied himself by repeated questions that the boys were proficient. After expressing his surprise and gratification, he spoke of the wonderful beautv of mathematics, and that there was nothing more difficult in the science to master than common tractions.

The Edwins Committee Still at WorkMrs. Nancy E. Clem on the "Witness Stand. The Special Committee from the Houseto iuc iiciui maiurv aim rcmaie Prison met Wednesday at the law office of Duncan, Smith A Duncan. Dr. Flwins conducted the examination on behalf of the Lommittee. 1CAKCY K. CLEM. Ileside at the Reformatory; am an inmate ot the Reformatory's have been in the Reformatory about one year; was sent ui for perjury; there were rules posted up in my room, the rules said we should keep our rooms clean ; I am now in punishment; Mrs. Smith wanted ine to approach Mrs. Talbort as to what she would swear to in this investigation; I would not do it, and for that I am now being punished; have been made to wash and work very hard, most different from those who are not punished; our food is not good; it is the cheapest kind of food, some of it very poor; I have known others to be punished; Jsarah Peters was often punishedvery badly; have known Mrs. Smith to pull her out of bed bv the hair and throw her generally about the room; Miss l'eters was sick at the time; have seen Sara Shrum and Mary Kllen McIntyre both whipped; Martha I lord was often whipped; our bread was sometimes good and sometimes bad: the day the Committee was there we had better'food than usual; often heard some of the inmates scream when they were getting whipped; could hear, them scream very plainly and could also hear the licks as they were applied to the inmate; Mrs. Smith wanted me to see Mrs. Talbert about what she would swear to when the Committee came to investigate the Institution. I would not do it, and for that was punished. I can not tell how many licks I heard, but am sure I heard at least two or three, when one of the inmates was catching it. They always hurry us when they expect company. Mrs. Johnson is veryrough; she kicks and knocks them about very cruelly; Agnes Brown was often beaten by Mrs. Johnson; have seen prints of Mrs. Johnson's fingers on the faces of those that she had whipped. Cross-Fxamined by Mr. J. S. Duncan: Mrs. Talbert is one of the officers of the Institution. Mrs. Talbert frequently came on our side of the Reformatory. I was punished simply because I would not find out what the inmates would swear to. They also wanted me to see the oflicers of the Institution. Mrs. Smith thought that Mrs. Talbert would try to injure her before the Committee. I was ordered to see Mrs. Talbert on a Sunday night, about what sue would say about having turnt d the crank when sonic of the girls were ducked. Mrs. Smith had ordered Mrs. Talbert to do so, and was then afraid that Mrs. Talbert would tell on her before the Committee. The day before the Board comes they always make us clean up. The Board conies the first Tuesday of every -nonth. I am not allowed to talk with any one in reference to my private business, unless in the presence of some of the otlicers. either Mrs. Smith or Mrs. Johnson. johx a. men, sworn and examined bv Dr. Edwins I was in 1S73 and until ls77 a member of the Board of Managers of the Institution. Ac cording to the law, I suppose the Board was allowed to make rules for the Institution. There was no method of punishment ever proscribed by the Board. It was left to the Superintendent as to what should be the punishment. The previous Board, before I was made a member, had adopted rules of punishment that was still the method used when I was a member of the Board. hue I was a member of the Board punishment by ducking in water was never recommended, only in extreme cases, and then not recom mended. I never knew of premature births having taken place with any of the inmates of the Institution. We did not purchase the best nor the worst grades of Hour or meat; it was generally good, I never knew of there ever having been any profane language used by any of the ollicers of the Institution. The Edwins Committee met atrain Thurs day at the law office of Duncan, .Smith A Duncan, ihe attendance was larger than on previous meetings. General Streight was sworn and examined by Dr. Edwins. Chairmai of the Committee. Live iust east of the city on the National Road; have known Mrs. Smith, the Superintendent, for over ten years; my opportunities for knowing Mrs. Smith have been limited; know nothing whatever of her qualifications for the position she holds; I was never in the Institution; Sirs. Smith has been in my office. An attempt Hpon thp part of the Committee to get from General Streight the past life of Mrs. Smith was objected to by Mr. Duncan on the part of the Institution. The Committee then retired for consultation, taking the witness with them, the consultation lasting considerable time. When the Committee returned they were without the witness, they having concluded . that the testimony of General Streight was not admissible. The object of the consultation was mysterious. Mr. Duncan, on behalf of the Institution, questioned the propriety of the consultation had in the absence of the accused. Mr. Duncan claimed that the Committee were not prosecutors but were Judges in the investigation only. The Committee was aided with tke legal services of Hon. D. I). Moody, for Dr. Edwins, and the honorable Speaker for Mr. Meredith of the Committee. Mr. Smith, of the law firm of Duncan, Smith t Duncan, sioke at considerable length on the question raised the night before in proving Mrs. Clem's past history. Dr. Edwins claimed that the Committee had the same right to prove the fitness of the officers of the Institution that the Institution bad to ."prove that of Mrs. Clem. tiovernor Hendricks asked nr. rxiwins whether he would consider anything General Streight had said during the private consultation. He said he would not. CYNTHIA A. BEALL. Live at Mr. Cadwallader's, in this city; have no relatives living in this city: I was connected with the Reformatory; I was in the hospital, was a nurse while there; it has been four years since I was there; I was there only two weeks as a nurse; I was employed by Mrs. Smith; there were several in the hospital when I was there; there was a disease among those in the hospital ; the disease was said to have been syphilitic in its nature. Those in the Hospital were all children; none were over fourteen years old; saw some of the children punished; saw Mrs. Smith whip some of them; Dr. rarvin left medicine for the patients; Mrs. Smith said she 41, f 41, ft,, utfo cilr t)i4v did not believe that they were sick; they had dried apples and rice; sometimes they liad soup; on account of the disease they were not allowed to nave any meat; i thought all that were in my Ward were sick; some of them bad sores on their bodies; the bed-clothes were more or less damaged from the corruption of the sores; there were no acute diseases, ail chronic; I was discharged: guess the reason 1 was dis charged was because I ?joke about the con dition of the Itcd-clothc.

The sheets were not changed during the two weeks I was there. The children's clothes were not changed only once a week. 1 mean the children that had sores on them FRANCES A. TAI. BERT. I live in Augusta, Marion County, this State. I am an officer in the Reformatory, and have been for four vears last past; I have charge of the Reformatory laundry; for about three weeke l was tnc nouseKeeper; i read the roles of the Institution; had prayers, reading of the Bible; always have prayers before retiring; I know Mrs. Clem; have

known her only since he became an in

mate; last bunday was in Mrs. Clem's room; was talkingabouttheinvestigation,and what it mignt result in; .Mrs. Clem did not say to me that she had been approached by Mrs. Smith to find out what I would testify to. I have seen inmates punished in the ', , "Vr . lrtfffnt n f I i . A. . it a 1 i upon, i n pea to punisii Lizzie mith and another little girl. They were stripped and ! tft.TSf.A? f wate.rTtub ,unty 8mith turned was no warm water in the tub at all. Mrs. Smith would let them up sufficient to get their breath: would let the water run them about twenty minutes. The cause for the punishment was self-abuse; it- resulted in a permanent cure; 1 do not think the hot has been turned on but one girl since I have been there: that was Ada Harris; it is a common thing for us lo slap the children over the head; have seen the Superintendent hit the inmates overthe head with her shoe; Mrs. Smith never ordered me to hit them over the head; I wa- ordered by Mrs. Smith to turn the hose on Ada Harris; I always thought that Ada Harris was crazy; she went through the hall once with a butcher knife in her hand. It was a great wonder she did not kill some of the little children, for at the time she went through the hall it was filled with little children passing from one part of the building to the other. We caueiit the Harris girl and tied her. The next day she threw her bed clothes out of the window, for that Mrs. Smith whipjed her. She had the water turned on her for using the knife. In trying to catch the Harris girl she cut Mrs. Smith. To answer the question "ves"' or "no" as to whether Mrs. Smith is a humane Superintendent or not, I can not answer. There are cjiscs where Mrs. Smith was justifiable in all she done. At other times I must disagree with her in some parts of the management. There was one case of extreme cruelty, as I thought. It was the cae of Lizzie Cash, who has been there. I suppose, two years and nine months. Lizzie Cash was one of the girls that was whipped. She has been hauled around considerable, and generally abused. She has been kett out of school a greatdeal. 1 have seen Mrs. Smith pull her hair. ; She was often in stripes. I think her hearing was impaired by the severe punishment that Aunty inflicted on her by hitting her over the head. Carrie Williams was once whipped with a strap; Aunty did that once in the office; if we had more officers we would not have need of so much punishment; with so few ollicers it is hard to get along with a les degree of punishment; the punishment I do not consider severe, when taking into consideration the few oflicers we have. The Committee appointed to investigate the alleged cruelty to inmates of the Kefonnatory and Female Prison met again Monday. The evidence was brief and in no wise appertaining to the implication of the oflicers of the Institution in the charges. LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP, The bill of Senator Brown, which provides for a Constitutional Convention, was amended, making the number composing the Convention the same number as arc now in the Senate. The original bill provided for the same number as now compose the House. It was made the secial order for the Senate on next Wednesday. Senator Chapman's bill relating to the reorganization of Water Works Companies passed the Senate. It permits such Companies to be reorganized by the purchasers with the same privileges enjoyed bv the original Company. The bill is designed to j meet tnc question of reorganizing the! Water Works Company of this city. I In the House there was considerable "funny business'" got away with in the discussion of Mitchell's marriage bill. Ttter, Gibson and Cole proved beyond a reasonable doubt to the House that they are humorists of the first water. Colonel Teter has the happy faculty of making fun out of the most serious subject when he so desires. . - Senator Uimdy-is getting the reputation of being the great investigator. Iiis principles arc: "Let no gailty man escape. He offered a resolution asking for the investigation of the charges of inhuman treatment to the inmates of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home and the Asylum for the Feeble Minded, at Knightstown. The resolution passed, and the Senate Committee appointed were Senators Bundy, Spann and Voyles. The resolution was a concurrent one, in which the House concurred. Assistant Secretary of the Senate Scars is the "happy recipient"' of considerable unmerited abuse from some of his acquaintances in Vermillion County, for not having apKintcd all of them to positions. Whether they were appointed or not, Mr. Scars did the best he could for his friends, and is himself serving the Senate and the people both .well and fail hfuMy. One of the ambitions of Senator Benz is to never miss a vote,-' and he never dixs. The Senator is always in his seat, faithful and watchful over the interests of his constituents. So vigilant a Senator should be very highly valued, both at home and in the halls of legislation, and we have every reason to believe that Senator Benz is so appreciated by his people and by his fellow members. Mr. Messick, of Vanderburg County, made quite an able speech in reference to the Tipton County swamp land claims. Mr. Siann was called to the Chair in the senate yesteruay, wuue ins Excellency was taking" a rest to get acquainted with the Senators. Mr. spann iHjssesses abilities that would make him an excellent presiding officer. Mr. Spann may be honored, four years hence, with the second place on the ticket. ... a Senator Snann is tackling tnc pool -sener. i lie norse-racing iraiernny win una in the Senator a man that means business when he starts out. The hatchet is buried. The Edwins, Mc Dowell and Mcintosh medical bills com promised, as it were, they having been revised, and tSie tbree grouna tiown into one. The bill was ordered engrossea yesterday, and J00 copies ordered printed. Dr. Edwins lias taken a judicious course in con sulting with all the medical men in the House, ana nave com promised on a bill. It is in part the old Jdwins and McDowell bills, en grafted into the Mcintosh bill, and will hae to be know n as the Edwins-McDowell-Mclntosh bill. The bill is said to possess merit. The name of the three members whose name it bears, ought tobe sufficient to make it take well with the medical profession throughout the State. The bill, as now submitted, is far more liable to iass than any of the others would have been. Senator Van Vorhis' bill, providing for the election of Justices of the Peace, ttasaed by the Senate, provides that the Board of ! Count v Commissioners may fix the number of Justices of the Peace in each Township, not to exceed three in each Township, and one additional fcr each incorporate city of 0,oo0 inhabitants in any Township. Hon. (r. 1. Teter says that at an early day an effort should be made in this State lor the erection of an astronomical observatory at Bloom ington; that our State University is incomplete without it. The State has the astronomer for the place in the -person of Daniel Kirk wood, of the University at Bloomington. a man of great learning and worth the Proctor of America. And his vast learning, talents ami great worth to the State of Indiana should not be lost for the w ant of an observatory and the instruments to be used in taking astronomical observations. Ought not the great State of Indiana furnish the means of obtaining original ob serrations as well as giving particular instruction in astronomical science at her own University?
