btate Jfnnter. I here is a great deal of
squirming and kicking, up by the different defeated candidates for the office of State Printer, on the Fusion side. Gregg, a vetern editor on the did line Whig side, thinks he has not been fairly dealt with,' and in columns of editorial in the New Albany Tribune-i shows that his side
of the house are not getting their share. Tho
Freesoilers have not, as yet, even had a bare
bone thrust at them, and they are exhibiting (lis
satisfaction; and Ellis, of the Lafayette Courier, is down on the nomination of young Chapman,
and recommends that the election of Printer
be thrown over to the people. He says
"We learn that there is considerable talk at
Indianapolis, about making the office of State Printer elective by the people. As the offico
does not become vacant until six months after
the fall election, we are in for this movement, believing that the people of the State would be
competent judges of the merits and qualifications
of candidates of this, as well as any other lucra
tive office. Let the popular sovereigns have a hand in this matter, and we will bide the result."
If a perfect practical knowledge of the busi
ness, and skill and faithfulness in the execution
of it, were made qualifications for the office, we
should have no objection to see the election of
Printer placed in the people; but the way par
ties are now organized and operated, the nomination to that office would be a mere reward for
partisan services, instead of an acknowledgement of mechanical skill. But we will let these folks
fight their own battles, in their own way, and merely suggest to the Legislature, that the only way they can create harmony, where discord now prevails, and where rancour will be the certain result of the election of either of the beligerents, will be to elect us to the office of Printer by this compromise, peace, harmony, and good feelin will be maintained, and the printing will be done in a style that shall give entire satisfaction to the State. ' '1 1 "
.; THE WAR. Every distinguished editor, perhaps, in the
land saving ourself has surveyed the affairs of
Europe, and indulged his readers with sage conclusions as to the result of the war. We have seen enough in the papers, at least, to induce us to believe that it is "highly probable" there is something like the handling of fire-arms in the neighborhood of Sebastopol. But what's the
use of our spending our precious judgment upon
what's to be the results? We might venture a small opinion as to one result: that is, that blood
will come of it. Blood has come of it. Blood
of those who bravely fall, that coward tyrants and
autocrats may wrap themselves in pomp, and strut about the world. Fathers, brothers, sons
and lovers, have left all behind, to strew their
bodies on the murderous battle . field. And
why? Not for themselves. Not for freedom
Only that their masters may more securely fix their thrones. Only that that energy, which in
times of peace nerves the people to their own
interests, may be diverted. Only to secure
tyranny against themselves. Only that they may not forget that they have tyrants to com
mand them. Kings and despots know that
nation's strength is safer in war than in peace.
We see by the last news that it is understood
the Czar has agreed to the four points (a point is that which has place or position, but not magnitude) conditionally, or reservedly; and there
is a prospect of peace, provided the four powers
quit fighting, and no other power gets into the
fight. If they dont quit, the fight goes on. If they do quit, we see very plainly what great
things the war has done for the world. It has
transported men to die by thousands, on a for
aign shore; to be cut down by the sword and by starvation, as though human lives were but the
toys of kings, to be sported and broken, and thrown away at pleasure. We hope, for the lives of thos who still remain, that the powers will agree to the fifth point: that is to quit. They had each better put on their coats, take a chew of tobacco, and go home. They haven't made
anything more than a corner grocery fight,-any"!
now more swearing aim "ragging man ngnung: a little blood spilt by the accident of ignorance that's all.
Excursion. A large number of the members I of the Legislature took an excursion to Richmond last Saturday, over the Central Railway, and
. returned Monday afternoon It is well enough
for a deliberative body to take relaxation once in a while, to relieve the monotony of business, but our principle has nhvays been to work first, and then play. More than half the session" has' now passed, and yet no definite action has been taken ;on any of the great questions before the Legislature. A great deal is expected of this Legislature, and should they fail to pass goud laws on the currency question, school and liquor laws, and a number of other leading questions, it will
.be cause for general dissatisfaction.
We don'l know that the Quaker girls of Richmond have any favors to ask of the present Legislature, but in times past it has been the practice of the Madison road to give similar ex
cursions, whenever they had a favor to ask, and
on one occasion, when the State's interest in that
road was before the Legislature, Senator Ellis remarked, on receiving an invitation, that "he
saw iu it a Trojan horse, filled with armed men."
There may still be Trojan horses, under different
names. . .
Sleighing. It is universally believed in this community at least so far as we know that wo have had a slight drapping of a light fleecy
freezy something very rmfch resembling snow
We have had a real nice time, to slide about and pick up the women, and slide them about. ; How the bipeds human have enjoyed it! We have seen all sorts and sizes of men, women nnd chil
dren packed in and going it. Some at the rate of two forty, and some not quite so fast; Some behind Ibur dashing horses, and others behind
two one aye, even behind no horse at all, but
sliding along jn the wake of a tremendous little donkey. Everything that could slide and travel
has been on the track. Every man nnd his wife and children have been out. Every feller and his gal likewise.' May be there has not been
some close chat; and prehaps some strong endeavors to shield the feminities from cold. We wont tell on the boys though, for its none of our business if they did hug the girls. Sleigh-riding ain't worth a darn unless a fellow can hug up the girls, and occasionally take tho frost off their ips- ' ' ' ' ' ' , THE TEMPERANCE BILL. ' We copy from the Journal the following sy- ' nopsis of the Temperance1" bill now before the ' .Legislature: :,, .' . ' , , . ,, ., , l ;,. 1st. It prohibits the manufacture nnd sale of : spirituous liquors as a beverage, except that it allows the manufacture of cider and wine out of I the grape, currant, tStc, which may be sold by the person making it in quantities of not less than three gallons. Foreign spirits and wines . may be sold in quantities and in casks as imported, upon certain required proof that "they Bre the same as imported. !,,' 2d. The County Commissioners are to authorize two Agents in each township to sell for other purposes than as a beverage; he; is to give bond in a sum not less than one - thousand nor more than six thousand dollars; hu is to keep a list of .the sales made by him, of the names of persons
purchasing, the amount sdtoeacb, and the. purpose for which they bought it.. For violation of the conditions of the bond he may be sued upon
it, and the judgment is to be for the whole penalty of the bond.. - No liquor is , to be sold to
minors. ' . i : i
3d. The price of liquor sold 19 not to exceed 25 per cent, on its cost. I . .! 4th. To carry out the objects of the bill, the right of search is given. But no search warrant can be issued, untill three persons of good moral character shall file an affidavit ; stating that it is their opinion and belief that liquors are kept in the premises for illegal sale. If liquors are found, they are to be taken, into custody, trial is to be had, and if condemned, the liquor is to be de
stroyed. If, any liquor is drugged, such' fact is to be taken as positive proof of intention to sell illegally, and are to be destroyed. , : ! . ,'i . . 5th. If any man is found drunk he is to bo taken into custody, and when sober must give testimony, under the pains of subjection to imprisonment, how he procured the liquor, and, if illegally, proceedings are to bo instituted against the person violating the law. ... ; ..; 6th. Penalties of fine and imprisonment are imposed on those violating the law; increasing in severity as the number of offences Bre multiplied by the same person. : 7th. All contracts the consideration of which is ardent spirits are declared void; and if it is but part consideration, it is void to that extent. ; 8th. Ale, beer, wines, cider and all other liquors producing intoxication are embraced under the general term of ardent spirits. . i-
Vm. F. May. Ex-Sheriff Hunter lias returned
from his search for this humorous young gentleman, unsuccessful. All he learned was, that May had sold a large amount of Renssellaer bills to a Philadelphia house for gold, but from the account given bv the dock master at New York,
t is probable that lie made his escape in the rsai-
tic, which sailed on Wednesday. A young man
answering to May s description was seen to climb the vessel's side just as she was putting out from
the dock, and as May had negotiated Ins bills in Philadelphia on Tuesday, in time to reach New York before the starling of tho Baltic, it is reasonable to suppose that lie availed himself of this opportunity to get beyond the reach of inquisitive officers. We have not learned what
further steps, if any, will be taken. Journal.
