. THE LaPorte Herald thfinks it would be injudicious for the republican members of ‘the - Legislature to cast their votes for either of the defocratic contestants. for the U. S. Senatorship.

THE Indiana State Legislature opens its session to-day. We hope it willnot forget .that it was elected, on both sides, in the interest of reform and that its whole legislation may be found to be in that interest, especially in the election of ‘a’ U. S. Senator, which devolves ‘upon- it. Let,the Democrats put forward their best man on that platform, so long as the choice remains with them. Let Republicans aid'in his election, arid though there may be a few, as there always will, .who prefer a different course, the mass of the State will be satisfied. . =
CONGRESSIONAL SUB-COMMITTEES are’ investigating jn Alabama, New Orleans, and Vicksburg. - At New Orleans, A. B. Levissee, when asked by the committee if ‘he was elected to the Legislature, ansyfered, “I was returned as a member by the Returning Board, but not by the popular vote.”. Mr. Kellogg, fearing .that the rule laid down by the committee of looking only into the later doings of the people would tell against him, has written a letter to the committee asking them to go back to the election of 1872. He evidently thinks he _hal abetter chance
WHILE the Chicago Times says: “It “is now regarded as certain that the “ tax on tea and coffee will be restored “by the present Congress; that the * great falling off in' customs receipts “has rendered this step absolutely “ necessary; and it would be imprac- “ ticable, to levy. additional imposts “ when the tax on these articles can “be so_eagily collected and is so “ productive,” some other journal, on on which we. cannot now put our hand, remarks that these articles are in general use by the poorer class of people and are almost a necessity with them; that it would be much better to reinstate the hg on incomes over #52,000, which would bring in as much mmao' and plabgrit whzge it could be
ReGARDING the return of Congress to its duties, after the holiday recess, " the correspondent of the Chicago 7ribune says: “Congressmen have not returned in a very genial mood from . their holiday rest. The disclosuresin . the Pacific Mail investigation have not strengthened the faith of the Demo- ' crats in the stainless integrity of their ~ party, and the. Republicans are made . uncomfortable both by this investiga*tion and by the condjtion of affairs at - both branches of Congress reassemb- ' led on Monday in- ill-humor. In the el PRt sl : ‘whea the
~ The Lonisiana Legislature met on Monday last in New Orleans with KelJegg's soldiers in and around the build--ing and United States 3‘ . ~hand. ' The Conservatives, an IrEregular ‘proceeding, organizedy or attempted to organize, the HogiSe, b were prevented by a squad of U. 8. soldiers, who were brought in by aU. 8. General under the instructions of Goy.Kellogg. * After “confusion worse confounded,” the democratic: representatives left the Hall, protesting against its invasion by troops of the: jeneral Government. The Republicans, who had partially left the Halk on finding the Conservatives more than their match in prompingss to organize, returned when the coast Was clear and another irregular organiza‘tion Ayas formed by them. 'F*fftyéfour,, the number necessary to form a quorum, tl«:r_'e»de‘nlared by theClerk to be present, while that number did not answer to' their names. During the day, Gen. Sheridan issued a military | order assuming command of that de|'partment under instructions from the | President of the United States, and sent a telegram to the Secretary of War, stating that a spirit of defiance to all lawful authority existed in that ‘State, and 'that something must be done to give protection to the people. On the following day the excitement | was not so gréat, but Gen. Sheridan’s accusations, of the day before, were discussed’ with warmth and “bitterness. He is well answered by the “Whereas” of the Cotton Exchange at their meeting, which says that they dre an ~organization totally discon- | nected from political affairs, instituted solely for the. promotion. of commercial interests, and they give solemn assurance that the allegations of Gen. Sheridan are not only false in point of fact, but evince the spirit.of a mere partisan. oA - s
_ The correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, on the ground, -corroborates the foregoing by saying that the facts elicited before thie Congressional Committee, as well as by careful observation, do’ not sustain Gen. Sheridan in his assertions. . That his charges are unjust and untrue. - : - “While the Democrats by their eagerness to secure themselves a majority, which they believe themselves' to be, ‘committed an irregular and unjustifiable act, yet the General Government commitfed a more flagrant one in its preparations, by military show, to sustain the notoriously inequitable course of the Returning Board. And this wrong was the cause of theother. = - Of all the many offenses against {true republican principles, against our constitutional liberties, which have been 'charged to our Dictator, no one of them, nor all combined, equals this, his last. It is a deep. damning crime. No Northern State would submit to such usage for a moment. !
INTERCOLLEGIATE CONTEST.
An intereollegiate contest is. to be held in New York city, at the Academy of Music, to-night. This is a new -thing, only some half dozen colleges taking part at this‘time, a number of others saying they are not prepared this year, but will be hereafter. Each collége chooses its best orators and essayists to represent it, and though credit will be given to the personsthemselves, . yet the Institutions ex‘pect to show their several, systems of training and claim some fittle therefor. This action will have a tendency 'to throw the Regatta business in the back ground, as nine-tenths of our colleges can take no part-in that muscular exercise from the nature of the case, while all that are so minded, from the same nature, can participate ‘in the other. And it is safe to say ‘that most of the parents sending their sons to school will prefer their money should be used in cultivation. of the mind rather than the muscles of the body.© We look: to see this system ‘gain ground rapidly and create a great: interest throughout the country. !
SPANISH REPUBLIC, EXEUNT,
The poor, sickly republic of Spain has at last- given up the ghost. Alfonso, a young man of no caliber, son of the notorious ex-Queen Isabella, has been caught up by the old nobility together with the army, and placed on the throne almost as foreibly as his mother was removed from it. While Don Carlos, who has the better right to the place, if there is such a thing as a right, has fought for years for this same throne and ‘was at the time in the field with a large following, he has: been passed oyver for. the banished weakling who would never havedared to raise hisstandard on hisnative soil. * Spain, like France, has'begn-and is: in @ state of transmutation, and one would be bold who would prophesy long life to any one system of government over'the ignorant; lazy, ungovernable mass constituting the greater | K;r;. on the'one hand,-andthe proud, zy, ungovembfe few making up the remainder of that excitable nation.
'R. H, MARR, chairman. of, the New Orleans comimittee of seventy, arrived in New York a short time 'since, and 1n a speech there gave a history of the situation. He said while: they felt like taking what they knew.to be their rights in their own hands, yet there was niot the slightest disposition on their part to oppose in any way the laws or authority of the United States. In reference to the visit of ‘the’ Congressional Commijties to New Orleans, Mr. Marr said that the Citizens were pleased with the committee, that they would receive all the evidence it was in their power to give, that they would spare no effort to give every facilit to ascertain the whole truth in ’tfid}%‘

The smith may polish-his steel to the Perfectiv of & ‘mirror, but if he lay itaivay neglected, the, oxygen of the.air will.seon.change its, brightness to a xusty hue—its »m%btjh_xiess to roughness—its perfection to chaos. The intelligent farmer,
;after years of toil, Surrounds himself ‘with all the conveniences .and im_provements necessary to the perfeetion of his art,-only to find in the end, .that -the 'nearef He ‘approaches his ideal of perfection, the more complicated. his.. labors Beeome, and :the: greater the complexity, the greater. the sirain upon hisphysical and mental powers, to sustain the equilibrium, of the components which make upthe um of his profession.. Fer progresém.m any department of 'trade is ‘ Tothing more than the balancing of all the forces that contribute to its existence, while we raise the whole to a higher plane. - The eoncentrating of force for the improvement of a single component-to the neglect of others destroys the equilibrium -and -makes improvement impossible; ‘it is like & wave on the ocean;every rise of which has its equivalent depression. When George Stevenson imvented the locomotive engine and moved the first train of ears by the power of steam,’ the world was startled at so marvelous an invention. .Mechanics gazed upon it with wonder, but not:with content. They felt confident that the great mind of Stevenson was not the uiltimate of all mankind, and EEat the product of his inventive genius was but ‘a starting point for something greater' and more magnificent in all its details. . The success of Stevenson lured others, imbued with the ' true spirit of progress, to ng_‘gater achievements toward the perfeeting .of .his: own invention, till the engine now, in its very compléxness seems to defy the art and genius of man. To improve and bring it 'to! still greater perfection, is theé'work of future gen--erations; for a higher inventive poweris required than that which-brought it-to its present state. To suppose it | perfect, is to limit the inventive faculties of man. Though as perfect as ‘ the engine now seems in all its ramifications, it demands for its conserva- | tion the most careful attention and vigilance by those whose duty it is'to preserve and perpetuate its usefulness. If-in the evolution of maehinery so. much care and attention are requitred to the furtherance of its usefulness, what can be said of the care, culture, and labors demanded to improve, preserve and perpetuate that. most intricate and complex machinery of education? This machinéis of peculiar construction. It is not isolated from other machines, but a machine that has for its components all machinery ever devised by man. It is pre-emi-‘nently the. machine of all machines, for it combines in one grand whole all the experiences of past civilizations.
. The great problem which now presents itself to us is, how are we to keep this machinery in running order ? How can we improve the efficiency of. its working power? If our. §c§‘ools_ are not what they ought to be,;how: can we better their condition ? 1 Ifcwe are compelled to employ incompetent persons to teach in these iscl‘:oovls_ under the present circumstances,:what can be done to remove the evil?' These are questions that should receive the attention not only of teachers, but of every thinking mind interested in the cause of education. It is not possible the solution to the great ‘problem can be found in this generation, but we may by attending to it prepare the way by giving: something for future agestobulldupon ! v ooK

That New Carlisle Murder. [From the LaPorte Herald.] |'
Our readers will remember that on the night of the 15th of July last, . Thomas Cihanski and his wife (both ‘Polanders) were brutally murdered in theit hohse; in Olive township, St. Joe county, a few miles from New Carligle, their dwelling being burned down -over their bodies. . Jonathan Hickman and James Bennett, were ; ~arrested on charge of having committed the erime. The trial of Hickman ‘was concluded in the circuit court, at: ‘South Bend, this week. Pending said trial Bennett “turned State’s evidence” against Hickman, who was found “guilty of ‘murder:in the first degree, - by the jury and sentenced to the penitentiary .for life.. -¥he condemned man then made a confession. So we now have the story of\the erime from - each of the two wretches who- perpetrated it. As might be exp hey * do not agree; each accusing the other -of being the moving, leading 'actor in the tragedy. The facts are, the Polander ‘and his wife were beaten to “death, with beech clubs, between 10 and 11 o’clock, both being awake when “the” mitirderers broke in upon.them, - and the old man being struek while -in: ‘the dct of ;e_tting' out of bed, and ‘making for the door, The woman re_ceived the death blow in the potato patch.” Beth corpses were dragged into the house by the heels, after the slaughter; the flames being préviously lighted. The murderers got some $6OO. e Homiclgle_ in Whitley County. _« Charley- B. Carey, of Coesse, Whitley- county, Ind., was brought to Fort Wayne onithe 28th ult. and Jedged in jail,” charged: with murder, The par‘ticulars are as follows: Saturday _evening, Carey and a young man nam‘ed Weaver, who had beéen’ in'the’ village but a'few days, got into a quarrel . while under the' influence of liquor. About 11:0’clock Weaver left the postoffice, where the row had taken place, llowed by Carey.. After walking . me distance, Weaver turned round, telling Carey that'he had better not follow him. They got to quarreling . again, ‘and Carey’ struck Weaver-on ° thé head with a stick, knocking him insensible.” Weaver was picked up _and carried home by parties who saw the occurrence. He died at 2 o’clock | ‘Sunday morning. ' Carey was'promptly arrested and brought te F't. Wai‘i’ié for safe keeping, as there was great excitement over the affair in Coesse. The accused claims that the blow was not struck by him, and. as there were several parties in the row, .it may proy¥e that he is innocent of the crime.™ “The tes;timony b}%fufe;l, @hem Coroner’s -jury points conclusively to the ac-i‘f%}i"i&mhe-dnefibo st'tfi?’w Bldw o pRE e D
