-~ THE Igdig;niipoﬁs corre§pondent of ‘the Cincinnati Gazetté says Senator Morton is of the opinion “that the municipal elections in that city and throughout the State settle the question as to how* Indiana will go in 1876. Semnator Morton expresses himself as confident that the Liberals and other Republicans who have not -acted®with their party for severil years in this State, will take their old places in the ranks of the party of progress, and aid in securing-a Republican vie‘tory. This confidence is shared by leading Republicans in all parts of the State” We doubt,not that Morton & .Co. would like things that way; but, pray, what have these politicians done to merit a restoration of confidenee? Morton has tenaciously adhered to all. the mischiévous ‘doctriries and measares which prompted the Liberals to sever their connection with:the old republican party. He has given no sigis "of repentance or reformation ;-he has not atoned for his unjust' and coarse denuriciation of the noble men who followed the lead of the great Horace Greeley. Hence,honied words will not tempt Liberals to walk into Grant’s litle parlor. fo e UL B

COLLIER, State Agert . and Adjuster of the New York Underwriters’ Insurance Co., was very agreeably surprised at! his office in Indianapolis on Wednesday- of last ‘week by the presentation to him of an ~ elegant gold watch and chain from the ~local agents of the State.© ‘A number of gentlemen in the insurance busi_ness had assembled at the office of Mr. ' Collier, but he 'was wholly ignorant _of their mission until Mr. Thos.

- The New York Z'ribune, in an excellent article on the labor. problem’ and its relation to women, offers the following very sensil?le ‘suggestions, | ‘which are worthy of a thoughtful perusal: “The ‘history of our:social life this winter and spring should teach every mother to leave the interminable jangle about sex and vocation to those who are not mothers, and to be‘stir herself quietly to give her daughter as well as her son a trade or handicraft. If she is compelled to earn her bread and clothes, let her be provided with'a 'd‘e‘ce’nt means of earning them; if not, let her thank Heaven and devote Lierself to.her home duties, and to her husband and children, if God gives them to her. There are avocations open which pay a woman equally ‘with a man, and according to her skill, ‘but they require two or three years’ ‘application to make them remunera‘tive. Among these are designing and ‘wood engraving, and, let us add, the culture and arrangement of-flowers or trees. - A young writer in oné of the niagazines this month inveighs against outdoor work for woman as reducing. her mentally to the level of a brute :and destroying her physical health; he selects the Russian serl to point his moral. ‘lf he had taken the trouble ‘to look at home, at the white. women: in Pennsylvania or North Caroliua who plow and reap, he would have found them imcomparably superior in ‘both body and mind to ‘women in cit-jes-of their own social rank. = There' is no reason why the higher grades of . out-doer work should not be under‘taken Dby educated women; they are " more healthful, give wider exercise for taste and judgment, tax the body ‘less severely, and pay better than the few occupations possible }) them in cities.,” How_many poofpale-faced | women there are in all the cities and towns of our land who ‘might -profitby the above suggestions. - Out-door work is not degrading. . On the contrary, if :evéry eare—Worn mother, ‘and’ every housewife- who. finds Leérself gradually declining’and growing weak, pale and sickly under her burden of household duties’ would with the beginning of spring inaugurate a system of out-door work—the cultivation of flowers, a little garden or shrubbery would serve a good.purpose—to which io'ne. two or three hours of each day could be regularly devoted, she would soon find her health impréving and that she was growing. stronger both physically. -and mentally. ’ The time thus expended, -instead of addimg to the household duties, would ‘prove a ‘wholesome and pleasant reecreation; the laborer would return more refreshed and invigorated than if she had re[7sorted to the bed or. sofa to rest her weary limbs. Do n’t be afraid of out-door-work, not drudgery, but vi‘gorous;v healthful exercise in the puré air and blessed sunshine. It is Nature’s cureall and will perform ‘wonders.” Give it a thorough application and we will voueh for satisfactory results. . = - ! —_—a it oG- Qo ¢ . DEATH OF JOHN C:. BRECKINRIDGE. John C. Breckinridge died at’his residence in Lexington,-Ky., on Monday last, after a protracted illness; aged 54 years.. He was borfn of a distinguished Kentueky family; practiced. law-at Liexington, served in the Mexican war with the rank of major, served in Congress from 1851 to 1855, and was elected Vice President of -the | United Stdtes on the Buchanan ticket ‘in 1856. In 1860 he foolishly aceepted the nomination- of the BuchananBen Butler-Jeff. Davis faction' for the Presidency, and was, of course, defeated. * The next year he was elected “U."S. Senator. as the successor of the ‘venerablé John J. Crittenden. He, however, identified himself with thé secessionists and rebels, thereby va‘cating his seat in the Senate.. He was. made- & major 'genéml in the rebel army, and took- part in the battles of Shiloh, Baton Rouge, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Cold Harbor, Nashville, ‘and some others. Breckintidge was. secretary of war ‘during -the : last: months of the Confederacy. - At the final break down of the Richmond government, -he went fo Europe, where he remained two or three years. Since his return, he has been living quietly in Lexington. -The fact that Breckinridge ‘chose to" go with the South without the excuse which most southern politicians- had,. of standing by his State, has- deprived him of much nothern sympathy. - Personally he was-a man of brilliant mind, of great popularity, and of the strictest integrity. =We have reason to believe that he ()ieeply l‘egi'etted _tl;e‘tv{ro great errors of his life: accepting that nomination for President in *lB6O and joining the Southern Confederacy.

Bulletin scouts the idea that we may. be compelled to bring ‘wheat from ‘Europe, and thinks it “really amusing.” . I would be neither amusing nor surprising. New.

And we did .not find it very amusing, with the best brands of flour ranging from eighteen to twenty-two. dollars ‘per. barrel, and the best red wheat selling at four dollars per bushel. We have imported large quantities of barley from Europe in the past two years, although. our own growth of that cereal has had the -stimulant of high prices, and we have had Upper Canada, a barleygrowing provinee, to draw from. =~ -

THE TRUTH COMING To LIGHT. - The Alabama Legislature, with an intrusive and unwarrantable curiosity, has set a committee to investigating the means by which Hon. G. E. Spen- | cer secured his election to the United State'Senate, where he expects to disport himself until the year 1879.— Among the witnesses lately examined, under oath, was Hon J. S.Perrin, himself a late republican member of the Legislature from Wilcox county. who gives the following details: “Troops were retained in Alabama before the election on a requisition of myself and others, it having been understood that ‘Spencer ‘had arranged for troops to be put at the disposal of Mayer and other revenue officers wherever intimidation was necessm"jr.v These troops, accompanied by the United States Marshals, who had fictitious warrants, with citizens’ names prominently displayed and shown to persons who would ‘inform them, were paraded in’ various counties. I shot a hole in my hat and reported that -I had been at“tacked by the Ku-Klux, and'l sent troops. to arrest the mythical, assailants. - I kept the troops as long as I could use them as a political machine:, Our purpose was to secure the LegisJature at all hazards and elect Spen- ‘ cer.” Other witnesses QOl‘rbel:ate the ingenuous Perrin, and swear that money, as well as intimidation, was used in order that the State of Ala- ' bama might be properly represented at Washington. Is it any wonder that the ‘gorge of republican statesmen who visit the South rises in; viéw of these nauseous disclosures? How fine a thing it is that communities numbering millions of souls who take great trouble to ascertain‘the will of the majority and send representatives to Congress to represent it, should find their ‘voices. neutralized or overborne by creatures like ' Spencer, Pattersor, ‘West, Clayton and others, who repre--sent nothing but the money they have paid' for their ill‘gotten honors and the brute force that'has thrust them upon an unwilling people. ' :

SUPPRESSING LOTTERY SWINDLES. The old and well known lottery concern of L. D. Sine, of Cincinnati, has at last received an official check, as will be seen from the following dispatch from P. M. Gen. Jewell to the postmaster of that city: - : ' “POST-OFFICE DEPARTMENT, |

-~ WasmiNeTon, D. C, May 13,'75. "“It having been represented to me that a certain L. D. Sine, of Cincinnati, in the State of Ohio, is engaged in conducting a |gift enterprise and scheme for the disposal of money and personal property by 7lot, chance or drawing, thereby to obtain money through the mails, and being satisfied from the evidence before me that said L. D.Sine is so engaged, I do hereby forbid payment by the Postmaster at Cincinnati, in the State of Ohio, to said L. D. Sine of any postal money order drawn to order of him, the said L. D. Sine and said postmaster is hereby directed to inform remittees of said postal money order that the payment thereof has been forbidden, and the sum of said money order will be returned on the presentation of the duplicate money order applied for and obtained under the regulations of the Department, and on the same evidence the same postmaster at the city of Cincinnati is hereby instructed to return all registered letters which shall arrive at his ofiice directed to the said L. D. Sine to the postmaster at the offices at which| they were originally mailed, with the word “fraudulent”. plainly .written or stamped upon the outside of each. e “MARSHALL JEWELL, " | Postmaster-General.”

_ There is not a particle of doubt that this' institution is.a swindle. For years his advertisements have been seen all over the country, and, as a natural consequence, large sums of money have -been sent to him' from time to tiné and buf little returns have been made for the same. We know of considerable sums of money .being sent from this community, but hiave yet to learn of one person who was lucky enough to draw anything of value. Neither have we ever heard of anybody receiving a valuable prize from that institution.” These institutions, as a class, should be regarded, as public nuisances, and the Postmaster General is entitled to much credit; for efforts to suppress them. - Tl e a o HONOR TO ~WHOM HONOR IS DUE, ' - In recording the official result of the Connecticut election, -the Hartford Times does not hesitate to accord to the liberal element of that State a just: acknowledgment of its share in the great victory achieved at the late election. That able'organ of the Connecticut Democracy says: “Much of their o‘ver-whelmingjf triumph 'is due to the aid received from the Liberals, and from the Conservative Republicans, ‘who could not stand such a load as their party - was weighted with, in Grant and his profligate and corrupt administration. The republican ticket, with a Grant cannon-celebrator at the head of it, and the nominees, all the way.through, from Congressmen to members of the Legislature, more orless openly committed to Grant, was much too he;avily weighted to hope for guccess before the honest voters of Counecticut.| It should be borne in mind that the issues in the canvass were clearly }and distinctively national. It was the course and policy of the Graht administration that was on trial—its unwarranted interference in the affairs of the States, and its general feebleness, imbecility and corruption, together with/Grant’s known purpose to crowd himself, if possible, upon the country for an/indefinite period.” The ‘Connecticut Democracy stands tirmly by the compact of 1872, when Liberal Democrats and Liberal Republicans fought side by side for a pure and just administration of the government.— This fact accounts, in a great measure, for the uninterrupted viitories of ‘our, friends in that commonwealth.

THERE seems to be a’'good prospect for a speedy return to partial specie payments. From. the Washington -gspecial to thfe Cincinnati 7imes we learn that the very rapid increase in silver coinage within a short time causes some of the Treasury officials to think that the Secretary will begin ‘paying out silver in lieu of fractional currency befare the meeting of Congress in December. It is estimated that by the last of June, the end of ‘the present %%al year, there will be ‘about $6,000,000 in gilver coin in the .Tr‘easurr,'and by the first of Septem‘ber fully $10,000,000. With this -amount it is believed '»hnétatho SecreMg will feel that he can Safely begin' to put into operation the law authorfing slye coih to bepaid out and the.

. - ‘DISREPUTABLE BUSINESS. For some time past a good deal of nonsensical twaddle about the encroachments of the Catholic Chureh upon certain sotcalled Protestant institutions of Ohio has been going the rounds of the republican press. This disreputable business, however, had its origin among and is chiefly confined to an inferior class. of' party scavenger's who do not scruple to employ any means that will serve to make political capital. ‘The utter absurdity of the position taken by some of these journals is astonishing and must be at once apparent to any intelligent person:who will take the ‘trouble to give the subject a moment’s consideration. For instance, the Ohio Legislature at its.last session passed an .act, known as the Gegban law,. authorizing any sect to hold divine worship in any penal and reformatory Anstitution controlled by ’the State, and it has been held up by the heels by certain newspapers there of a knownothing tendency and shaken in the face of Protestants as a veritable bull from Rome. . And yet a fairer ‘measure was never enacted in a State whose theory is that all religions are, politi--cally speaking, on a par. The Catholic Central Association, of Cleveland, undoubtedly represents the attitude of its church in denying that they sought to proselyte or control any institutions. of the kind. They have § passed resolutions stating, “That as ‘evidence of the fact that we seek nothing but our simple rights, and that we do not seek to interfere with others, we have for a long timeé known that Protestant chaplaing have officiated in our penal and Tefdimatory institutions, wherein Uatholics in large nulrl\ben‘é were confined, and that s‘gch chaplains have been paid salaries for such services out of the publi¢ treasury, which we have Qver believed was contrary to the spirit and the letter of the fundamantal laws of the State, and that treasurers might be legally prohibited from paying such salaries; yet, notwithstanding all this, we have not interfered. =~ That we consider it inconsistent; unjust and uncharitable for' those who admit the efhicacy of religious instruction as a means of reforming the inmates of those institutions to oppose a worship or instruction which has the desired effect upon 4 large class of such inmates, because it may differ from the peculiar tenets of their own religion, and that such .opposition should be denounced as illiberal and un-American by all fairminded men.” |

CONCERNING THE AMENDED SCHOOL LAW. : : As-test caseis.soon to'be made at Indianapolis in regard to the constitutionality of the new law relating to County Superintendency. ' A good deal of “complaint has been made throughout the State, by leading educators, at the blow thus giveh to alaw that has not had ‘sufficient time- to demonstrate its usefulness. But they are now to-have assurance of a longer trial from an unlooked for source.— The act of the last session of the Legislature was, it seems,'ztoo hasty and 111. advised to be of good legal standing, and the,result is, we have a law that cannot stand the scrutiny of the courts. The act, to which reference is' had as. being passed, amended an act that liad been amended by a previous law, and consequently the'title was imperfect and the last law void. The following, from the Indianapolis Journal, is a pertinent suggestion:

Great care should be taken to select good, competent, live men, for county superintendents in g une, for they will undoubtedly have to work under the act of March 8, 1873—the original act creating the county superintendency. In every case where a county has had a good superintendent, he should, if possible, be retained. It is understood in educational circles that the whole question of the constitutionality of the act of March 9, 1875, will be subthitted, as soon as possible, to the Supreme Court in a proper legal way, and that we will not be long in-hav-ing a'final decision. ' i . BRISTOW AND THE PRESIDENCY, The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, a-leading republican paper of New York, in discussing the probable Republican candidate for President, has this to say of Secretary Bristow: '

“There is no doubt of the g)'owivng strength of Secretary Bristow. / Stranger things have happened than that he should bear away the prize from all ‘competitors. He was a soldier. He is a statesman. In the pride and strength of vigorous manhood, with an unsullied reputation, he has.thus far filled every position to which he has been cdlled, with credit to himself and honer to the republic.: It may well occur that the RRepublican party, 1n shaping the campaign of 1876, will deem it the best policy to place a Southern man, whose loyalty cannot be questioned, at the head.of the ticket. . We shall not" be surprised,. if among the many excellent men from whom the Republican party has to choose, that as time goes on, and the admirable qualitieés of the Secretary of treasur% more and more demonstrate themselves, he may be found the most available man to lead the Republican hosts to victory in 1876.” The signg of the times plainly indicate. that the next President will be elected by the Liberal Democracy.— Nevertheless, -we would deem it a blessing and a positive bepeﬁt to the country if the Republicans should select for Lh?il‘ standard=bearer a man of unblemjshed character and . undoubted honesty. It would ge far toward puriﬁying the polities of the ;country. For this reason we hope the Chronicle’s prognostications may nof be withwoundaﬁon. , : e : Two prominent grain merchants of Southern Ohio, Messrs. Mansfield & Delaplanes, have made a’nv extended Jfour through the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, for the purpose of inspecting the wheat crop, and report that with a favorable season there will not be over half a crop.

Says the Laporte Argus: A very fatal disease among the hogs prevails in Willis township, and through the eastern part of the county.

Eyen Barnum has been unfortunate. That prince of showmen is"said to have lost the large sum of three hundred thousand dollars with his hippodrome since leaving New York city, twenty thousand of which was lost during his stay in Philadelphia. e '

The Board of Directors of the Adams Express Company have made George H. Price a present of $l,OOO in gold. Mr. Price will be remembered as the route agent'who killed a fobber ‘who hafl broken into the express car of which he had. charge. Mr. Price, fired two shots before he fired the one thut killed his would-be assassin. _

The reports from all seetions of Pennsylvania state that owing to the severe frost and late spring much of the expected wheat crop has been killed, and the season delayed eight or ten weeks. A careful survey leads to the belief that not over half a crop will lrie gathered, and even this amount depends upon the continuance of dry weather. ' . ; :

. The Kansas City Z%imes states on the authority of a trustworthy person, directly from Los Angelos, California, that the reported capture of “old Bender” was a hoax from beginning: to end. ' The-interview which was published in the Los Angelos paper, and copied " extensively throughout the West, was purely fictitious—-& practical but mighty senseless joke, = . The new custom house ‘at Chicago, the building of which was well under. way; will nodoubt have to come down. A reporter of the Inter-Océan makes a very bad showing of the condition of the massive structure. He says that not only are the foundations insecure, but the material is of a very inferior charactér, so thiat while the building is yet unfinished, it has the appearance in places.of being centuries old. There must have been gross and culpable carelessness -on the part of the contractors, and disgraceful neglect: of duty on part of the officer who had: the supervision of it. - :

It is estimated that the three leading products of California will, during the present year, foot up as follows: Wool, 50,000,000 pounds ; wine, 15,000, 000 gallons ; wheat, 45,000,600 bushels. The news from Augusta, Arkansas, is to the effect that neither|the wheat nor the fruit has been injured by the cold. =ln that section the area sown is much greater than ever before, and the crops promise an-abundant yield. The . farmers have found by experi‘ence that they can raise grain, grass and fruit as. well as cotton.. All the grain and fruits of the Northwestern ‘States will grow in Arkansas, and the farmers of that State are learning to improve their advantages. ' On the 4tlr of July there is' to be held an international convention of delegates from each of the United States and the provinces of Canada, at Buffalo, N. Y. The object of the convention ‘is uo less than a scheme for the annexation of Canada to this country. Such a scheme is ne longer new, but theresis no probability of its immediate realization. The interests of Canada are very nearly allied to those of our own ceuntry.' Thereis something incongruous in the faét of its dependency updn Great Britain. Its climate, its.products, its people.and national customs are similar to ours. Canada : would be worth more to us than a dozen Mexicos, but the government is not particularly anxious to acquire it. | : :

2 v et <P E— -—— 7 STATE OF INDIANA vs. AMERI; . CAN EXPRESS COMPANY, . A Suit to Recover $65,000. INDIANAPOLIS, May 12.—This afternoon Frank M. Trissal, Esq., at the instigation of Hon. Ebenezer Henderson, Auditor of State, filed com-. plaint in the Superior Court of this city against the .American Express Company, on behalf of the State, to recover the sum 0f.565,000. On March 8,/1873, the Indiana Legislature, in regular session, enacted a Jaw providing that any corporation “doing business on the railroads of the #State, either in transporting freight or carrying passengers, be required to makes a semij-annual. report in the months of January and July, showing the amount pf receipts for the six months preceding tlie dates named on business transacted, in. the State.— Their reports were to be filed with the Auditor of State, and it is further provided that for every one hundred dollars received for carrying passengers three dollars are to be paid into the State Tre‘gsury, and one dollar is to be a-ssessed;“m the same manner on every one hundred dollars received for- transporting freight. The law provides that, in case any of said companies or corporations fail to comply with the provisions of the statute, each c?impanyishall incur a penalty of | one = hundred dollars for‘ each day elapsing after the day set for making the report, ete. Under the aet the | Auditor of State is empowered to { bring suit ag;ﬁnst any’ company fail-’ -ing to comply with thelaw. Fot some reason General James A. Wildman, the late Republican Auditor of State, totally ignored the existence of the statute, and took no means either to enforee ' its prdt‘visions or test its constitutionality, and he was ably seconded in his indifference by AttorneyGeneral Dennj, who, it is said, at one time took steps to test the matter in the Courts, but the railyoad attorney g‘ersua,ded him to drop the matter. he suit brought against the American ; | Express Company is only a test suit, and if it is suceessful, proceedings will immediately be instituted against all the companies to which the act relates. The moﬁxey in the suit amountg to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the railrodds and parties interest-: ed will make a determined fight. The suit involves the same principal as the sunit just determined in the Su‘preme Court of the United States in favor of the State of Maryland agajnst the Baltimore & Ohio -Rya'ﬂroad Company. The Legislature passed a law requiring that one-fifth of the earnings of the road in the passenger traffic between Baltimore and Wash- | ‘ington be paid into the State Treasu-’ Iy, This sum aggregated $50.000 be--‘tween 1860 and 1870, and, after years | of litigation, the case being gatred throuth the Qtate Caiirts and nis tatha | suprenis tibon ot e L }é"f%a"*’?"(,ﬁzﬁgéd*ﬁ“;&a‘;ﬁ% 4 A

e - Ann Eliza has sustajned a severe disappointment in. the decision of Chietf-Justice Lowe, rendered last Monday at. Salt Lake City, in conneetion: with her application for a writ to-com-pel Brigham to pay the heavy alimony decreed by ex-Chief-Justice McKean in the diviorce suitysfrom which' she expected to realize’some $13,000 cash in hand, besides $5OO per month hereafter. Chief-Justice Lowe reverses: and annuls the action of his predecessor on the Bench, and refuses to | compel . the Mormon Prophet to disgorgé of his great wealth and elegant’ comxgetency for his divorced nineteenth. In effect, Judge Lowe decides" that, as there was no valid marriage, both parties being aware of the tact of polygamy, there should have been no divorce, and hence no alimony. :
