The Democratic Legislature of Indiana is getting a very unenviable reputation indeed. It fooled away its time until the constitutional limit of its existence expired, and then broke up without passing the appropriation bills, leaving the State government in the lurch. Of course there was no other way but to call the Assembly together again, and this Governor Hendricks did at once. About the first measure introduced was a bill appropriating §25,000 for the expenses of the special session. Hendricks, fearing that his Democratic followers might attempt to draw mileage for this second session, sent in a message saying that he had instructed the Auditor that all such claims would be for constructive mileage, and should not be allowed. This is cer. tainly the worst slap in the face that ever faithful men received at. the hands ofa, friend. When Hendricks looses Confidence in in Democratic legislators, and plainly tells them that they will in all probability steal unless their hands are tied, it is time for honest men to be on the look-out. Meanwhile, let the people of Indiana weep at their consummate folly last fall in electing such an unprincipled lot of scamps. They are paying dearly for it They have got a man in the United States Senate for six yean whose views are directly opposed tg_,their own; they have failed to secuie auy legislation which they were led to hope for, and now comes a special session to increase their taxes and fill the pockets of the sticks whom they sent to represent them. Indiana has probably got enough of Dem - ocracy to last her fbr the next decade.— Inter- Ocean.

Donnelly, or Mr. Arthur Leary, doth not appear - ___ The Civil Rights Bill has become the law of the land, having p issed the ‘Senate and been approved by .the President. Thus far we have not heard of any of the terrible results predicted by Democratic demagogues, as sure to follow its passage, and we have yet to find the first “proud Anglo-Saxon” who feels one whit less important than before its passage. Its ills have been all imaginary, ahd the justice of the measure will be apparent, by its workings. A bone of contention has been removed, and the colored man as a subject of legislation steps down and out.

The Cincinnati Gazette says: “There will be no third party to make nominations in 1876. The Contest, unless some unforeseen event occurs, will be between the Republican an Democratic organizations. Of one or the other Grant will be the nominee, if nominated at all. — The Democrats are not likely to nominate him. The Republicans certainly will not nominate him. This is as certain as anything in the future can be said to be. A third term for Grant or any other man is. as we have often said, out of the question. It would be hard to guess who the Republican nominee for 1876 will be, as it would be to guess the Democratic nominee. The Democrats have already several candidates in the field, and that party will have trouble enough in making the selection, without bothering themselves about the Republican candidate. Of one thing, however, the opposition may rest assured, viz., that their talk about a third term is humbug, and will not deceive anybody. Not a corporal’s guard of the Republican party could be brought to supporany living man for a third term. The opposition to any such suggestion would be found to be well nigh universal.”
