Believing, as we do, that editors are required to perform the most labor for the least pay| in a part isan point of view, we feel likeguggesting to the victorious party that it| would be no more than right and just tp throw a loaf into John's bread basket. ; WE observe that the papers, in publishing the official result of the late Presidential elecdibn! state the vote ‘for the anti-Masonic ticket (Adams and Barlow) to have been just one in the State of Indiana. This is an error. Lagrapge county contributed that one, but Ligopier polled gix votes for the same candiddtes, which were not, as it seems, reported at headquarters,

| LEGISLATIVE DOINGS- | & - Both Houses of the Indiana Legislature 1 have passed ?’he bill providing for the payment of the old internal improvement. bonds that were uot Included in the settlement under the Butler Bill. The Louse bill increasing the pay of the members of the Legislature from §5 to/$8 a day failed on the third reading by 41 yeas and 45 nays. : A bill has passed both Houses of the Legislature which increases the salary of tlx"e Governor from $3,000 to $B,OOO per year. The law takes effect with the beginning of Governor Hendricks’ term. It should be borne in mind, however, that this is not really an increase of the actual s]ilary received by Governors Morton and Baker, each of whom :drew $5,000 for hfnuse Jrent in addition to the §3,000 ‘salary. - ' | The Senate passed the following bills, in which the House will probably concur: To appropriate $B,OOO to the State University ; to pay the debt incurred in 1870 and 1871; the bill to authorize vol - untary associations to. borrow money to complete unfinished beildings; the bill to prevent railroads in this State from charging exorbitant rates for freight; Chapman's bill for the consturztion of levees, dykes, and drains. | One of the most important facts of the rsLt-gislature is the rgpenl‘ of the Kankakee ‘drainage law which droused so much in ‘dignation among the denizens of that swampy région, e

" The Senate, it would appear, does not seem to be impressed with a desire to inquire into, the mysterions doings of State officials, Oh Friday a resolution was offered to.investigate the charges alleged against the past and present Auditors and Treasurers ot State for converting to their own use interests upon public moneys, which was laid:on’ the table, as was also a motion to reconsider the resclution ‘ap pointing a specijnl committee to inquire why ‘the $500,000 of scaool fund was’ not ‘distributed as réquired by lawy: ¢ In the House the bill providing tor the erection of a soldiers’ monument in In dianapolis was laid on the,table. Yeas,s4, nays, 30. A number of Republican mem - bers vigorously opposed this bill" ypon the ground that the money could be ap.plied to better. purposes, and that it was not necessary to p‘erpetuaté the memory; of the civil ‘strif. One member said there were 127,000 persons in Indian: who could not read the names recorded upon the proposéd monument if it should be erected, and be, tflougﬁt the money could be appropriated to removing this blot upon the otherwise fair fame of the State, and the boasted intelligencé of the age. . . -

Considerable excitement prevailed in the Senate last Saturday over the attempt of the Republicans to pass a most iniqui tous bill for the re-apportionment of the State into Congressional and Legislative Districts. - The Democrats threatened to bolt, and made a gallant but unsuccessful fight against this base scheme of an arbi trary partisan majority. v Both Houses passed a bill providing for the issuing to tax-payers of certificates of stock equal to the amount of taxes collected from the same in aid of railroads The bill provides that where money has been collected by tax for county or town ship aid to railroads, and remains in the treasury unclaimed for years, it should be redistributed to tax-payers in the propor tion collected, or else transferred to the general fund of county or township, in which case tax-payers: shall be credited with the'amount paid.by them in the future collection of taxes, ;

FROM THE STATE CAPITAL. DEAR BANNER:—I thought I would write and let you know what we are doing. The Republicans caucus frequently and the Demoecrats, or Liberals, are making themselves as agreeable asvpossible; - The Garrett claim has passel the Senate 30to 19, 4 Liberals voting with the Radicals. This claim consigts of 191 bonds of $lOOO each; issued in 1836 under the act of 1835, for which the public works alone were ceded to the Butler coin pany, with the express understan ding that these bondswere & lien on said public works. Presuming you are fully posted (as you get a daily Sentinel) T will not further bother you'at present. 1 I should buy a piece of land subject to all mortgages and liens I should expect to have them to pay, and that is the case precise. ly. Nevertheless, we will have it to pay, as it has passed the Senate and wil] pass the House on Tuesday next, by almost.a strict- Republican vote. I believe this is the beginning of the end, and -the end is to assume the entire debt-of over $20,. 000,000, Yours, with respect, : - H. C. StaNLEY, INpIANAPOLIS, Dec. 8, 1872, . = -

, “OUTTING UNDER.” We take pleasure in transterring to cur columns the ' following truthful remarks by the editor of the Anderson (Ind.)i Democrat: . L The Wabash Plain Dealer is arguing the propriety and necessity of an Editorial Convention in this district, at some fu. ture but not long distant time. A Koko Ao paper suggests that city as . the place. If such a meeting can, or is likely to be ot any practical result to the publishers, then we sayamen. If, however, 4t 18 to be a gathering of a lot of jolly chaps, for fun and bacchanalian purposes, we can see no use thereof = We have on several ogeasions attended conventions of this kind, but never one which left any practi cal or bepeficial result to those engaged, or for whom it was intended. Unless its intentions Ye of a co operative nature,and the proceedings be made binding dnd obligatory to every participant, or at least all editors from the same town, no practical good can result to the craft. To weet, pass resolutions, form good Tresolves, go home and break them at the earliest convenience, as is being done anoually, is a waste of precious time and mopey. To fix a rate for job printing and advertising and cause a violation of such rates, to result in a forfeiture of a certain sum of money to be placed in the hdnds of the society, and to be followed up with ex pulsion and exposure, 1n case of such a violation, the &ciety (if we may so call it) to form itself into & court of inquiry, and pass on the merits of cases presented, is about the only way in whtch we can see any good to come from such a convention.. Editors are generally suppoged to bave great propensities for lying, and among us—we know how it is ourselves. We hive a high appreciation of the busi’ ness in which we ale engaged, and are not of the number who wish to reduce it to a mere catch penny traflic. Underbid ding is the great bane and curse to prin. ters;” nothing tends to reduce.it so much in point of compensation, excellence or importance as underbidding, Experience has taught us, that by chiarging a reason - able price for our work we can devote pains, and have:the pleasure of doing ourselves and patrons justice. and by doing good work, the demand increases.

It is this greedy and pusilianimous custom that makes publishers poor, and insures ‘‘constant readers” constant poor. and dish water journals. Every labor is worthy its hire, and if a ‘printer is willing to cut his own throat, the public is willing to stand by and lgnd its assistance. There is a plenty of need for an Editori al Convention in this District, provided it confines itself to overcome the difficulties experienced in the business.

Characieristic Leluers from Mr. Gree- 1 ; : ey. e ¢ Through the kindness of Mr. J. S. Lockbart, of this place, we are permitted to give publicity to the following characteristic letters from the pen of tlie lamented Greeley: ; L . -~ New YORK, Aug. 27, 1869. _ My Dear Sir :—llf 1 were to write your son as I think, I might give him pain which Ae has not deserved; so I answer your letter to yourself, to say that I think you might better have given your son an ax as his portion, and bidden him go into the wilderness and there hew out bis fortune. To be a government clerk is to be a leunuch in politics and a pauper in fortune. If I do anything.for your son, it will be to get him out of Washington and. dtart him for the muj'estic,’ West, Yours, : © HoRACE GREELEY. Mr. J. S. Lockhart, Ligonier, Indiana - (To the better understanding of the above, we deem it necessary to state that the young man referred to is named Horace Greeley Lockhart, who had shortly before the writing of this letter been ap pointed to a clerkship in the Treasury Départment at Washington.): ¢ - NEw Yorxk, March 19, 1871. Dear Sir :—Yours of the Bth is before me. . * : I am glad you liked my “Recollections ;” but I do not seem to have impressed you with “their moral. I bate all devices for making life easy: If I had been appointed to a clerkship at Washington ‘at an early age, as your son was, I should never have amounted toanything, unless I had speedily resigned it. I would bave your »son do just that. Let him_ live very fru gally till he has saved $5OO, then join some colony, or'embark in some enterprise that aims to make the world better. A clcrkslz"p in° Washington is very well for a one armed or one legged soldier, or a ‘soldier’s widow with six young ones, but not for a young man who bas full-posses-sion of all the orguns and faculties that God gave him. I wish your son would either go to work somehow to get his living otberwise than from the Treasury, or drop his middle name. Yours, = v ° ~ HoRACE GREELEY. J. 8. Lockhart, Ligonier, Indiana. There is a lesson in these letters that should be deeply impressed upon the mind of every young man who aspires to either prominence or fortune.. - .

Read and ponder: . : “Mr. Montgemery, of Mishawaka, said to us not long ago, that had he his health he would at once increase the number of workmen in his furniture shops to 400, We believe Millersburg offers better in ducements than Mishawaka cany for the establishment of such shops.

THE fight in the South Carolina Legislature originated thus: A -negro clergyman member said to a negro lay member, “You niggers'sold yourselves out to Part TERSON,” whereupon the lay mem er fell upon the pastor, tore the wool of that misguided black sheep, and baptized a large legislative circle with his gore. The ‘moot point is whether the insult was in being called a nigger or a thief. Next to this an allimportant question is what PATTERSON, Senator CAMERON'S nephew or son-in-law, is doing running as Uunited States Senator from South Caroliva, and where all the money comes from over which the colored members are clapperclawing~XN.

' Some Significant Figuares. : fF}om the Indianapolis Sentinel.] The annual report of the Treasurer of State, the Hon James B. Ryan, which will be found in the advertising department of this morning’s Sentinel, is, worthy of a careful perusal, presenting as it does; a clear and succinct statement of the financial condition of the State. The receipts of the year (including amounton hand Nov. 1, 1871,) have been $3,450,558 22, and the disbursement $2,687,201 85. ‘Against the croaking predictions of onr adversaries that the heavy deereasc in the late of taxation, inaugurate i by the Dem. ocratic Legislature of 1871, would eom pel the officers of State to borrow money to meet the necessary expenses, the Treas urer submits the unanswerable and satis factory = exhibit of $763,356 87 in the Tyeasury. A careful examination of the figures presented by the Treasurer will furnish gentlemen of both parties food for wholesome reflection.
