MR. NICHOLSON’S BILL.

Senator Voorbees Retained to Fight (the Measure. A Louisville special, March 27, says: In a private letter to a friend in New Albany SenatorYoorhees says the Nicholson temperance law passed at the last session of the Indiana legislature is unconstitutional. It is understood that Senator Voorhees has been retained by the Indiana liquor dealers’ association to fight the law when an attempt is made to enforce Us provisions. It is said the liquor dealers’ association is willing to spend 8100, (XjO to havo the law declared invalid. One claim, and the chief one against the validity of tlie law. is that Governor Matthews did not have the bill three days before the legislature adjourned, the constitution declaring that tho Governor may havo three days to consider all bills 1 before signing or vetoing. In the case of the Nicholson bill the Governor only had it two days before the legislature adjourned by limitation.
