In the Senate on the 16th a message was r< celved’ from the Governor making charges against Warden Murdock. (See Hodse proceedings.) Mr. Shockney offered a resolution that a committee composed of two members of the majority and two of the minority of the Senate be appointed to co-operate with a committee from the House toinvestlgato the chargesThis was followed by vigorous debate. Mr. Burke objected to any investigation of the charge made by the Governor. “Why hasn't the Governor himself‘investigated theohargeand compelled the Warden to obey the law, If he has violated it!" Mr. Burke demanded. Mr. Shockney: “I desire

to ask the Senator a question. Is there any 1 way in which the Governor can take the action you Suggestt” Mr. Burke: “I refuse to answer any question which the Senator may ask.” After further discussion Senator Howard offered a resolution that the Governor’s charges be referred to the regular Committee on Prisons, and a substitute very similar to the original was offered by Mr. Brush and finally adopted. The substitute instructed the committee to inquire and report why the State officers have not attended to this matter before. A resolution asking Congress to improve the Calumet river was adopted. Alsu a resolution relating to reports of telegraph and telephone companies. A resolution to investigate whether the. State Treasurer had received interest on any public funds during the past four' years was adopted. Many bills introducedThe House, with certain amendments,' passed the bill appropriating $110,006 for the expenses of the Legislature. A resolution was adopted offering the use of the hall for the meeting of the F. M. B.A. In November next. The Speaker said the House when not in session had nothing to do with the hall. A special messenger from the Governor declared that James Murdock declined and refused to pay into the Treasury the cash balance in his hands as Warden, according to law, and has unlawfully converted to his own use the slops of said prison, and asking thata special non-partisan committee be appoint ed to investigate the accounts and conduct of the said Warden. Mr. Curtis, Dem., offered a resolution providing for a committe of investigation in line with the Governor’s message. The resolution was laid on the table. Lindemuth then offered a resolution fora committee equally divided politically to investigate pri-ton. Also this was laid on the table, the Democrats declaring that the committee on prisons was competent to conduct any investiga** tion that may be necessary. Messrs Curtis and Gent, Dems., formed a small, but special committee. Eight Democrats voted against laying the resolution cn the table, the vote being c ayes 58, nays 34. At tha

afternoon session of the House Zoercher offered a resolution instructing the Committee on Prisons to fully investigate the affairs of the northern prison. Curtis offered a substitute giving the Committee on Prisons definite instructions and full and complete authoritty to examine persons and papers in mak ing the investigation. In support' of his substitute, ho made an appeal that every thing possible should be done to make the inquiry as thorough and searching *s possible. He asked the members to lay aside their prejudices, political or otherwise, in this matter, and to vote in the interests of the entire people. Extracts were read from the printed report of the Board of State Chariti* s» showing what great abuses had crept into the administration of the Northern Prison, and without asserting whether or not the charges made were true, he urged that they be fully investigated; he did not want a resolution adopted that meant nothing ane gave the committee no power Mr, Oppenheim led the opposition to the resolution, and there was a long and acri* monious discussion of it. He insisted that it would be unfair to put a stigma upon the character of Warden Murdock by or* dering an investigation without definite charges being made; A dozen member* were on their feet in a minute, asking if the charges made by the Governor and the Board of Charities wero not definite charges. Mr. Oppenheim maintained that the much discussed slop contract was made with Murdock by a Republican official, exGover nor Porter. The matter was disposed in like manner as the former resolutionsMany bills were Introduced, The House sdjourned until Monday.

LEOSII.ATIVE NOTES. I Mr. Patten’s bill providing for the in* spection of meats, would, if passed, make a very fat office fer some people. It provides that the inspector shall get 3 cents a pound for Inspecting all meats.offered for sale; that such meats shall always be ac - companied by the hides, and that he shall get 25 cents for inspecting each hide. Senator Hays has introduced a bill to re move the disability of married women to act as sureties. This bill is a direct step toward elevating women to a level with men In matters of business. At present a married woman cannot legally become surety, no matter how much property she may possess in her own right. This law with its implications, places her at a disadvantage in almost every transaction in which she is interested. The liquor license bill of Mr. Claypool, of Fayette and Henry, introduced in the House on the 14th, amends the presentlaw i y making the annual license for retail dealers In spirituous, vinous and malt liquors sioo, and for such dealers In vinous and malt liquors 6200. One-fourth of these amounts is to go into the school fund, so that the act does not reduce that revenue. The other three-fourths will go into the general fund of theoountiea in which such licenses are taken out. Senator Harlan’s hill, which alms at the retirement of the natural gas flambeau as an ilium inant of streets and publio highways, will be heartily approved all over the gas belt. The bill sets forth tbataathe supply of gas may not be unlimited it should be used sparingly • that the burniug of gas in flambeaux is not only wasteful, but that the lights are blinding and dangerous to travelers. The act therefore declares such use of gas unlawful, provides a fine of not over <25 for the first violation, of not ever 6200 for the second, and not over thirty days in jell for the third It is provided that this act is not to apply to outside jnmbo burners in glass globes, but these lights must be turned off atS o'clock, in the morning. ■f atents were Issued to Indiana in ven tom; Tuesday as follows: E.

Such laws in 11 1 i> country, if strictly enforced, would throw out of occupation Mrs. Woodworth and other •“trance evangelists” of that order. - Our State Senator and Representative have about as good a show on the standing committees of their respective houses as any Republican members, which, of course, is not saying a great deal. Senator Gilman is a member of the following Senatorial committees: On Roads; Public Buildings; and State Library; Fees and Salaries; County and Township Business; Public Health; Vital and Other Statistics; Legislative Apportionment. Representative Parker is a member of House Committees, as fellows: On Banks; Mileage and Accounts; Oo Apportionment, for the Tenth Congressional District; Mines and Mining; and of the Joint Committee on Enrolled Bills. *

The Democrats in the State Senate have robbed Senator Osborn, of Tippeeanoejeounty, of his seat anti given it to McHugh. They managed to figure out a pretended majority of two for McHugh. Jrat to do it were obliged to count votes that violated every provision of the new election law," passed last session by a Democratic Legislature; and also violated - every point in the rules agreed "UpOfr by both parlies, ' ItvTore 'the election, for the interpretation of that law. Some of the votes counted for Me Hugh’ Avere- stamped only opjK>site 11 ic name of the Bemocratie candidate lor. .c*.aigrcs&;. sonic had plainly • intended distinguishing marks: somewere not folded to show the initials of the poll clerks; others wore folded so as-to show who was voted for: . others still were torn and. mutilated ill various ways, and in one case, that was counted, the Democratic ticket had been torn from the olficial ballot, and voted in that way. The taking of Osborn’s-seal was a most outrageous piece of political robbery .

. Yt.hat a vast --.change for the better the country schools of Jasper county have undergone during the last dozen years! And what cause has contributed so inuclf to this good result a? the system of county and township teachers’, institutes, where the teachers meet together and each* learns better methods of competent instructors and of one another. In the same way how much the farmers might improve their financial and social condition by a system of County and Township Institutes, where every one’s good knowledge and successful experience would be placed at the service of every other. Such systems of Institutes are already maintained in some localities, and, as we firmly believe, to the great benefit of all concerned. The County Farmers’ Institute to be held in Rensselaer on Friday and Saturday, of the'first week in Febru- ; ary, is the first move in this direction in this county, and we sincerely

hope that it may hot only prove an entirely satisfactory and successful affair of itself but that it may be the progenitor of many more similar occasions in tlie figure.

Yf ;. Within rccoliectioSi of men now living-, when, modifying its. policy, the. British I‘ai iinient repealed a code of' laws, certain provisions of which would have, made the protective features of bur present tariff seem the extreme of conservatism. i t was not until after three centuries of Protection, and when confronted with the fact that British acres could not longer meet the demand for bread and meat for British tables, that Parliament ventured to repeal the Corn Laws and to remove the barriers of defense from about those products of manufacture that rigid Protection had brought to. a then uu } >n ralleled {lerfection.

This chapter of British history, though so rigidly excluded from the speeches of those who are seeking to anglicize the policy of this country, and given no place in the pages of literature with which the Cobden Club so liberally supplies its American allies, is none the less one that the patriotic student of the situation cannot afford to ignore. Nor should”lie fail to recall the fact that the policy of protecting her industries so long as Protection seems essential to supremacy, is one that Great Britian has never altogether abandoned. Every important line of steamships owned by British capital and run from British ports is defended against damaging competition by subventions that constitute a guaranty of interest upon necessary investments, and British consuls are quite generally under instructions to act *as agents of such lines if their services are required. Another form of British protection as now claiming attention of our Cabinet and Minister to England. Representatives of the Department of ' Agriculture' have for some months been'm England under instructions to minimize the expense and embar- ... .1 rassments heaped up against American live stock under nsrmammed fear . as eontagious but in reality .to. alky the rentle.-anes.E- of British. farmers and stock raisers over American competition.’

Great Britain lias ever been prompt to luuiciicajb foreign competition when its freedom was likely to operate to the pecuniary disadvantage of her subjects. The pressure for free trade with this country is no exception to tiiis rule of national selfishness. and will be reversed • asread ily as the change from Protection was , made whenever the exigencies of British interests seem to require'such a step. ■ C.
