NeEw ALBANY has a civil rights case on hand. An impudent darkey named Sims recently insisted:upon being admitted to the dining room of the Central Hotel in company with the white guests of that house. He was, of csourse,;rgqued. Sims resides in New Albany, and was doubtless prompted to take the above step by pure cussedness, and with a view to euchering the landlord out of ssoo—- — penalty which the late infamous Congress impesed uponlandlords who refuse to recognize the equality of Sambo.

GEN. Fllz JOoHN PORTER has been appointed - Commissioner of Public Works in the eity of New York- in place of Mr. Van Nort, resigned.— Mayor Wickham has by this appointment secured: the services of a most capable and efficient gentleman and has at the sanie time given éxpression to a deep-seated feeling of sympathy in fhe breasts of his fellow soldiers at the-unmerited treatment which Gen. Porter-has received at the hands of the President of the United States in denying him a rehearing. - - .

BECATUSE Gov. Hendricks very properly instructed the Auditor of State net to pay any of the members of the 'Legislature mileage on account of the special session, Senator Sleeth (Rep.) introduced a resolution of censure and insisted upon its passage. The 'resolution was quietly squel¢hed in the Senate, while the House actually complimented the Governor for his forethought' in the premises.- In view -of the faet that the legislators were still at Indianapolis when the special session was convened, and were conseq,uentlyr not under the necessity of traveling to'their post of duty, the action of the Governor was in every respect praiseworthy and will be heartily endorsed by the tax-payers of ‘the State.

A crLAss of men 'who foolishly im-‘agine-that a handful of inflationists may still be found in every township of the northwestern States, held a “national convention” in the city of Cléveland, last week, to lay the foundation. for a new national party. They style themselves the “Independents,” under which title they propose to enter the Presidential contest of 76. The convention’ was not a success, either in numbers or in intellectual power. Most of the leading characters were _politicians whose *merits” have been

ruthlessly overlooked by the two great parties of the country and who consequently carry distressingly = large sores upon their heads. Indiana furnished the bulk of these self-consti-wuted delegates. . ' 7

"THE Indianapelis Journal tacitly admits that “publjc sentiment in In=. diana does not sustain a. prohibitory law at this time, whatever it may do in the future,” and then proceeds to inform jts - readers that “candor compels” it to say that the new liquoriaw just passed “contains some very good “ features. If it-is not what the temp*“werance reformers wanted, it at least “shows that their labors have pro- -“ duced .a marked impression on the ' public mind. ' A careful reading of #this law .will show that it contains “some stringent features, and if rigid““ly enforced it can be madé very bind“ing on the liguor trafﬁq-:’]{here s no .doubf of this, and if the' Journal weré only disposed’ to give the Demo¢rats due eredit for passing this bill, it 'would" acknowledge that the new law - is the Dest temperance’ measure . ever enacted in Indiang. :.

ATTORNEY FEESIN PROMISSORY NOTES Gov. Hendricks has signed the bill for invalidating attorneys fees in p 0missory notes. The act, Wi s@ in force, reads-as follows: . & % | " “section 1. Be it enacted t()‘y;%e Gené eral Assembly of the %ﬁe» £1 diamf that any and all agreements to pay a torney fees depending upon any condition therein set forth and made part ‘of any bill of exchange, acceptance, draft, promissory note, or other written

idence of in ' hereb e o vovt: Progiden 1 that nothing fin this section shall be construed as'.applying:. to..contracts made previous: to the taking effect ohidasact, o 0 L v | . “Sec. 2. Declares that an emergency -exists, that it shall be in force from and after its passage.” = - = il - A strong effort was made in certain quarters to induce the Governor toveto this bill, but the same having passed both: houses by overwhelming majorities, it is easy to conjecture that the veto ‘would have been quickly oves‘¢ome by the law-making power.. - _ Our individual opinion is that the ‘new law goes a little further than the .interests of the debtor class really de~mand, - There is no doubt that greedy “and heartless attorneys took an undue ‘advantage of the law which conferred upon them the right to determine “what should constitute a “reasonable attorney’s fee.” Yet, we cannot perceive the wisdom of the act rendering such fees absolutely .invalid. If.the Legislatute had struck a middle course by pi'ovi_ding for a just, equitable and limited fee in case of suit to enforce the collection of promissory notes, the interests of both debtor and creditor would have been amply and equaliy protected. -Both classes have rights “that ought to be réspected by the law‘making power. The debtor ought to “have protection against oppression and ‘extortion, while the creditor should ‘not be denied the safe-guards essential ‘to the protection of his property. Legislation in any other direction- is al‘most certain to work mischief in one way or another. - The Indianapolis Jouwrnal claims that since the enactment 'of the law under consideration ‘numerous letters have been received from eastern capitalists directing their agents'in that city to make no renewals of outstanding loans, and announcing their purpose fo seek other fields of investment. - The Sentinel, on the other hand, asserts that the moneylenders have already devised a measure for defeating the purposes of the ‘few law. Tt‘is this: “ Notes are now “drawn without the provision in re“gard to attorney’s fees, but with a “clause seeuring the payee ten per “cent. liquidated damages in case of “the paper’s going to protest. The “ spirit of the law is violated, but the “letter seems to be observed. Howeyv“er, if this plan‘ for securing to the “capitalist the price which he consid“ers due to him proves a failure-anoth-“er method will be invented. It is “pretty hard to legislate against the “Vn&tdr.e of things.” ~

IMPORTANT TO TAX-PAYERS.

In a double-leaded editorial the Indianapolis Journal of yesterday. calls attention“to the important fact that under an act amending the assessment law, approved by the Governor on the 13th, the privilege of p’aying taxes in two installments is left optional with tax-payers. There is one condition in the amended act, however, which, ifnot well understood, will lead to’ the return of a very large amount of delinquent taxesin every county in the State. The condition is this: If the tax-payer wishes to take advantage-of the option of paying one-half his taxes in the spring and’ope-lxalf»in the fall, the first half must be paid on or beforeé the first Monday in April, instead of the third Monday as heretofore. If he intends paying all his taxes at one time he has till the third Monday in April. Tax-payers who wish to pay ‘their taxeés in two installments must bear in mind that the first half is due on the sth-of April next... The amended act has the emergency clause, and is, therefore, now in force. The second installment, by the same aét, becomes due on the- first Monday. in November. - Under the old law the time was November 15. By this act the Legislature has approved the plan of paying taxes in semi-annual installments. The principal is undoubtedly a-goed one. = While'it imposes additional work upon county treasurers and. auditors, it furnishes a great relief to large tax-payers, perhaps to ‘most ‘persons who have property, active business and homes. It prevents, to a great extent, the aceumulation of large amounts of money in the State and county treasuries atone time, and mitigates in some deg.rqe the burden of taxation. s R

. THE, Senate discussed the case of the unfortunate Pinchback all day Tuesday and-ate into the night. His colleague, Senator West, entertaining doubts as to the humor of the Senate, ‘moved the postponement of the question until. December next. - It was agreed ‘to, and Pinch i“:s'-still. hanging ‘between heayen and earth. g

If the constitutionality of the new civil.rights bill is not speedily put to the test of the courts, i}: ‘will certainly nat be for the want of test cases. Almost every city, Yown and village in the country has its civil rights case. Asif by aconeerted movement, the negroes have everywhere attempted to reap the'mew. and wonderful benefits conferted by:the act. They have besieged the theéatres, saloons, hotels, and railroad coaches. - They ‘have intergos:ad their sable features in the bar_ber shop undér the hallucination that ‘the tomsorial artists therein would _embark in wool clipping. In a majority of these cases, the blackshave been defeated and of course they have de.manded . redress. The new law will probably be .decided tobe unconstitu-

A terrible easualty occured a few days sinee in ‘the extreme northwest .corner of Jackson:township, Huntington county. A sonof Mr. Ackerman, aged 11 years, left his mother and -wenf to the barnyard to play with a _pet calf. He was attacked by a bull, which tossed and gored Lim 1n a fearful ibannet.

-5 INDIAMILEGISLATURE,%& g i Srgeisißeamige %ﬂ | : ﬁ,&é grch 9.—The orgamiza- | tion for the extra session was eﬁe‘?t'ed = by thecletions i Toin Oy seeretary, Mr. W. H. Smith assistafit’ secretary and John O. Hardesty doerkeeper. A resolution was adopted confining legislation to the measures recommended by the Governor, and such other measures as the best interests of the State demand. The bills reducing the Governor’s salary to $6,1000'and fixing ‘the per diem of mem‘bers at $6 and mileage 20 cents, were ‘passed. The Senate went into joint convention with the House to hear the Governor’s message. . - Housg, March 9.—The House met and was,organized by Secretary of State Neff. The old officers were reelected. A resolution ‘was adopted ‘declaring the House would consider -the six most important bills left over "from the regular session before proceeding to any other business. A res olution was adopted for a conference committee on the specific appropriation bill. The revenue bill reported by the conference committee at the closing hours of the regular session was passed, under suspension of the rules. st EFFICIENT WORK. . In justice to both Houses it must be said that more real and efficient work was transacted during the past week than can be credited to the General Assembly, during the entire regiular session. Wisely heeding the Governor’s admonition, an earnest desire: | seems to have actuated members to .devote their attention a,llmost. exclusively to the six measures alluded to last week. The first bill agreed upon by both Houses i the revenue bill, providing for a levy of thirt¢en cents and a poll tax of fifty cents—the Democrats very sensibly. agreeing to.abandon the nonsensical 5 cents ‘platform hobby. Twenty-five thousand dollars were appropriated to defray the expenses of the extra session—which sum, by the way, might have been saved if the two Houses had contained a smaller number of those diminutive chaps whoimagine themselves cut out fot “statesmen” and cunning politicians. ‘On Friday the House concurred in a number of bills previously passed by the Senate, including the following — making the stealing of bills from the files a misdemeanor; providing for the letting of the public | printing to the lowest bidder; making ‘it a misdemeanor todraw a deadly wéapon ‘o'nymother, except in self-de-fense; reducing the number or grand jurors to six. i :

; THE FEE AND SALARY BILL. - Another result of the past week’s work and the “special session is the Fee and Salary bill. It is a measure that counts, and unlike thedodging, equivocal law passed by the Republicans two years ago, it is so carefully drawn that theré is no escaping its provisions, and it has been estimated by some enthusiasts that it will effect an annual saving to the people of Indiana of a million a year, but if half this -sum is saved to the tax-payers, ‘ the majority is- entitled to the gratitude of the people. ‘ln one of the{ State offices alone (that of Auditor of State) the bill effects a saving of fully ten tlousand a year. This is in marked contrast with the action of the republican Legislature of two years ago, . when that beody continued the fat | pickings of that office to one of their own—James A. Wildman, The salary of the State Auditor is fixed at $1,500, with $3,000 for clerk hire and fees from insurance companies amounting to about $4,000 per year. Secretary of State is entitled to an annual salary of $2,000 and certain fees. The bill fixes the salary of County Treasurer at $l,OOO, and allows him one percent. on $lOO,OOO collections, and half of one per cent. on all subsequent collections; five per cent. is ‘allowed on delinquent collections' made by levy. County Auditors have a fixed salary of $1,500, and $123 fb£ every 1,000 inh_ab"itantls.mﬁer 15,000; and one per cent. ‘ is allowed for controlling the School Fund, and an additional allowance of one ‘Hundred dollars for making Teports to the Auditor of State; besides these allowances Auditors are entitled to certain fees, to be paid by the parties for whom the work is performed. Clerk’s fees are reduced fully, fifty per cent., which is evidently a little too much pruning. Sheriffs’ fees are cut, down twenty per eent,, Justices’ and Constables’ fées, ten per cent. Fees of Reco_pders, surveyors, - Prosecuting--Attorneys and- Coroners remain uuchanged. The.County Commissioners. get $4 per day instead of $5; road viewers $1.50 instead of $2.50; jurors $1:50 instead of $2.50; township trustees and assessors $2.50 intead of $3.

THE PER DIEM BILL.

"~ Among the good deeds of the past week must be enumerated the action of both Houses in ‘passing the bill cutting down the per diem of members from $8 to $6. This will be a saving of $lB,OOO at the next session.. ' . = THE LICENSE LAW. | - After repeated failuresto agree upon abill which would ‘be mutuallysatisfactory to House and Senate, the conference committee finally succeeded in harmonizing conflicting opinions to such .an extent ds to geeure, ldst Saturday, the pidssage through both | Houses of a bill which will command the support and respect of a vast majority of the people of Indiana, and { which, we firmly believe, will do more to restrain the reckless traffic in intoxicating liquors than a dozen Baxter laws, embedying prohibition, local op- A tion, and all the pet theories of the extreme temperance people. The fol--lowing are the salient points of the: bill: ‘lt provides for a State and county license, to be issued 'by the County Commissioners, on applica-. tion, to responsible persons, who are required te give bond in the stm of $2,000 that he will keep an orderly -house, and pay all fines and damages Aarising under the act; no license shall ‘be granted to a person iu the habit of beeoming intoxicated ; all applications for license shall be published or pub-

licly posted, and the applicant shall state what kind of ligeor he wants to séll; if spirituous liq%; he shall pay tothe County Treasufer $lOO, if wing or beer, $5O, and incorporated towns: and cities may add $lOO to thesefees; liquor shall not be'sold on Sunddy, nor on-any holiday or election day, nor between the hours of 11 o’clock P. M. and 5 o'clock A. M, and for violation of this provision there is 4 severe ‘penalty; “no saloon-keeper shall-sell ‘ liquor to a person who is in the habitof becoming intoxicated, or after notice served by the friends of the person forbidding the sale to him; public ~drunkenness is made a misdemeanor; ‘selling without a license is punishable by fine and imprisonment; selling to l a -minor is made a penal offense, and ‘the minor who misrepresents his age is ‘also to be punished; the adulteration of liquor or selling such liquor is prohibited; if a saloon is kept in a disorderly manner it shall be deemed a common nuisance and be elosed; saloon-keepers are made “personally liable, and also liable on their bond to any person who may%ustain any injury or damage to their person or prop-

erty, or means of support on account of the use of such intoxicating liguors.”. If any person or persons are dissatisfied with the granting of licenses, they are empowered to appeal to the Circuit Court for a revoking of the license; pending the appeal the liquor seller can continue his traffic. All money obtained from license is %o be paid into the School Fund of the respective counties and not into the State Treasury. Thus, Indiana, which has already one of the best and richest School Funds of any State in the Union, if not the very best, adds $150,000 more per year to it by taxing the liquor traffic, and saves as much more to the tax-payers by obviating useless and expensive litigation. The result of this law will be to close up from twenty to thirty per cent. of the small saloons throughout the State, which flourishes under that noble farce, the present Baxter law. .., :

5 o ADJOURNED. On Monday beth Houses adjourned «All’s well that ends we 11.,” !

- THE BEECHER CASE. Testimony of Various Witnesseés. Mr. Ovington, with whom Mrs: Tilton has made her home since leaving her husband, testified that he wasa deacon of Plymouth Church; that he interested himself in protecting his church and pastor. After Mrs. Tilton came to his house, at the time of the investigating committee, Tracy called on her at different times; afterward, Hill, Evarts and Porter saw her at his house. He stated that he had received checks for $BOO for the support of Mrs. Tilton and children since she was there, from Mr. Storrs and another person.: -He refused to tell Florence, the eldest of the Tilton children, where her mother was when asked for that information. .

A Mr. Holmes, of Winsted, Conn., said he was at Mr. Tilton’s room when the latter was there to lecture, saw him partially. undressed, and a lady opened the door. There appeared to be no effort at concealment. ‘ Mrs. Ovington was called and stated, with a great deal of minor matter, that Mrs. Tilton’s statement before the investigating committee last summer was at the house of witness and was brought about by General Tracy, but was entirely voluntary. Shortly after this, Mrs. Tilton came to her house and told her that she had left Mr. Tilton for good. Witness had told Beecher that Mrs. Tilton had said to her that she had made up her mind to see the committee, if it caused a sepdration and the loss of every child she had. -Witness had driven out in her carriage with Mrs. Tilton a number of times and conversation regarding this matter came up, and when she spoke of separation she added tbaéb if she did so she might not have a roof over her head, to which witness proffered her friendship and home whenever she desired 1o use them; and she thought Mrs. Tilton came to her-in consequence of that conversation. During Mrs. Ovington’s testimony, Mr. Ovington was allowed to correct his' statement concerning the receipt and disposition of moneys for the benefit of Mrs. Tilton and ‘her children. i - ey

After a Mrs. Putnam had testified to matters of no particular bearing on the case, a juror (Jeffrey) again faint ed_and the court adjourned for the day. The next morning witness resumed. Her testimony was intended toéxalt Mrs. Tilton, and to the same extent depreciate Mr; Tilton. Before she bad finished, the juror who had fainted the day before was again sick. This was on Thursday, and the court, for the benefit of the juror, adjourned to the next Monday, March Bth. ' At that time the witness was again called, and after a long, gossiping state: ment, was succeeded by a Miss Moore whose testimony- was of the same character. She had known the parties :about sixteen years. She had been a member of Plymouth Church abeut that length of time. - Mrs, Tilton’s great fault-was idolatry. for her husband; Mr. Tilton’s failing was a change of Evangelical ideas; he gome, times worked on Sundays, kept. company with Stephen Pearl Andrews, and other men of his stamp, and didn’t always go with his. wife to- lecturés when she wanted to go and she had fo go alone. Mrs. Tilton once asked her husband to order coal and he said he was busy and went out, acted as if he did n’t care, etc. 'When'she conclnded, the sick juror was again complaining and the court adjourned;. =~

On the forty-fifth day, G. W. Lincoln said that in 1869 he was proprietor of a hotel in’ Winsted, Conn., snd Tilton camg there on a‘llecturing'tour. He went to Tilton’s room and rapped and was turning away, when the doox opened and he saw -Tilton with His hat, coat and boots off. Thé,'}*ouhg‘ lady (whom Tilton once described a 8 a young school gtt],‘but_no}v seéts to have been about ;2-7;}:;%@ of age) was lying on the bed. T Iton threw the door wide open; there was no apparent concealmeng.&,éfdi‘, Morton said. he lived in, Winsted, Conn., in 1860, and that while assing Tilton’s room: he saw in it‘§; l&y partly dressed. *

. _'The Indian Village Burglary. | ‘On the Bth o'fg,ganu last Abel Puﬁinber‘ggr’s‘ store at I n Village , was§ entefed, by lar%d dry | g%s r;e;gﬂe - Th?ﬁ}Re ) *'l last Sabufd@y .captured one Of thé guilty partiés, Daniel Harding; at } house of his father at Monoquet, Kos- | ciusko county, and brought him to Cromwell,” where he coni‘eassedms'J guilt and infplicated“three ‘bﬁhgx“s,fﬂ ‘wit:.Charley Morrow,.a former night. telegraph operator named . McDonald, and one other whose name he did not know. . !

Warrants were issued on' Sunday night for these parties, and on Menday Harding and Morrow were arraigned before EsquireHontz; McDonald and the fourth party not being found. Morrow 'was‘,pn&\eupon trial and Harding swore to the burglary, giving the details very minutely. He stated that on Friday, the sth day of January, 1875, he and Morrow and «Jim™ (which was the given name of the fourth man, and that by which he was known in the transactich). eoncocted the scheme fo take place on the night of the Bth; that on the appointed - night the ‘parties all met at thé cross-roads south of Cromwell and proceeded to Indian Village; that they reconnoitered the premises, found the store closed for the night; found Mr. P. at his home, and all quiet and favorable for their work; that he and «Jim” were posted as sentinels, while Morrow -and MeDonald entered the store by the window and brought.out sundry goods, such as boots,: woolen yarn, knives, combs, one shawl and about 100 pounds of butter; that they ioaded their booty into the wagon and proceeded to the depot at Cromwell, ‘where ‘they arrived about 1 o’clock A. M. There they divided the goods, Morrow and “Jim” going with the wagon ‘and their share to the Hawpateh, and he and McDonald remaining at the depot. That the butter was McDonald’s share and he shipped it to Chicago.. Harding distributed his share of the plunder rather recklessly, the same being traced to his possession and leading to his detection.. Harding’s story was smooth, and well planned, but just as'he fipished, by some fortuitous circumstance, Me-~ Donald came in on the train’ from Chieago, ‘was arrested and. brought upon the stand. After his:examination the prosécution “threw up the sponge.” No butter had been shipped at all; MeDonald proved:that he was. in his office on that evening; Morrow it turns out was at his bro-ther-in-law’s, and there was only dne about whose share in the erime there was any evidence, and that was Harding himself-—the other two ‘were honorably acquitted. . i

Harding, aceording to his own testimony, is an -escaped convict from Michigan City—having been sentenced for horse-stealing.” He was bound over to Court in the sum of $l,OOO, Nelson Prentiss, Esq., of Albion, eotiducted the prosecution, and I. E; Knisely, of this place, acted as attorney for Morrow. e :

Cromwell Items:

- EDITOR BANNER:—We noticed in last week’s BANNER, an editorial item asking why the Cromwell and Albion merchants. were having their goods shipped via Ligonier and Brimfield. 'We are informed -that the transfer charges at Avilla, Defiarice, &c., were so extremely heavy, being about twice what the freight charges were, hence the necessity of shipping via of those points to save these exorbitant transfer charges. - S . Cromwell has had quite a sensation for the past. few days. The Regulators ‘have turned out en masse and have captured three or four suspicious looking characters, supposed ‘to .be connected with the Indian Village burglary, which was committed a.few weeks ‘ago. - Several funny incidents happened during the capture, one of which will suffice: After capturing one man, the “Boss Regulator” accompanied him to the house to return a saw he had been using. Arriving at ‘the house tlie captive went off a few rods to put away the saw, and thinking. now or never, bounded over the fence and was off, with Mr. Regulator after him in hot pursuit. He said the reason. he didn’t keep up was he was afraid the rascal would shoot. The fellow was recaptured next.day, by a ‘posse of about twenty-five men.. .
