Attorney General Hoar’s Opinion.

United States Attorney General Uimk lias git c/I hie opinion upon tlie question of administering the test oath to tho IWnly elected Virginia legislature. lie decide* that while Virginia is under military rule, all civil officer* must subscribe to its provisions, nut the oatlt must not Ik* required of these present legislators because tlmrs it only a preliminary work—to ratify the 15th : niciidment to the United States constitution under direction of Congress. But here their powers'Mop until Congress can e?afill(W fltcir State constitution and th*e»<hj whether or not it is republican* in form. In other words, they an* not a legislature except in a certain restricted sense, and their duties cease when they have ratified the constitutional amendment mid (iihuiitted their State constitution to Congress. The Attorney General places the reln-l legislature of Virginia, (for if its members can not take the test oath they must have been rebels) so far a* t lhey can be made subservient to party schemes, and the legislatures of loyal States upon the same tooting: lie decides the body is not .1 legislature and that it can not make laws for the State, but it niay act in a capacity that is reserved to legislatures alone and pass upon questions affecting the general government.

Is it possible the administration is so fearful the 15th amendment w ill be defeated that it is williug to place the Southern States in the hands of the men who took them from the Union, that it may secure its adoption? Better keep those States in their present territorial condition for yeais to conic than to bring them in with the rebel element in control, if after carrying tho elections for five years npon the pro|*»siUon of cotu|H!lling traitors to take back scats ill the work of reconstruction, they are now permitted to have a controlling influence, w ill not the popular verdict'be that the republican policy of reconstruction has failed in those States? and thut it would have been as well to havo admitted them immediately at the close of the war? In what respect will they be better than Kentucky, which nearly every republican has wished Congress could get arcconstructing hand at? If these States are now to be turned over to rebel rule, will not Mr. Johnson's policy fiually prevail? If rebel administration is such a good thing for loyalty and republicanism in Virginia and Tennessee, by all means let us have it in Mississippi and Texas. lint all republicans now fenow that both Virginia and Tennessee are against h«, and they do not desire the other States to follow them. We still hope that Virginia rebels w ill not be permitted to steal into ] tower under the thin republicanism with which they have been galvanized.

The I. D. & C. Railroad.

The people of Indianapolis arc waking up to tlie importance of /this newly projected railroad route. Tire city papers of Tuesday all contained stirring editorial appeals to the citizens of Marion county, urging them in the strongest terms to vote in favor of an appropriation of $150,000 to aid in its construet ton. The vote in that otmnty is 1 to be held next Monday, and in our next issue we shall probably be able to inform our readers as to whether or not the J>ad w ill be built. We lake the following friwii a circular issued “To the oters of Marion County,” for the purpose of showing what strong arguments arc used in its favor; “Every county on the line of the rtxd bus voted for tlie appropriations, turn tt Is left for this county to vote for am* build, or vote against and defeat, tlie voml. “The di!-<*uce being from thirty to fifty miles le»> than by any existing route, and the rood under one management between the two great trade and railroad centers. “The almost entire absence of curvature, with light grades, insuring safe, cheap and rapid transportation of passengers and height. •‘Tlie local merits of the line are beyond computation, the benefits of which must accrue to Marion county.

They 1 also declared the law under w hich ; the company was organized as “un- ! constitutional, and unprecedented I in the annals of law making, even nnder inonachical governments)’’' and that they will “contribute just and equal proportions of time and money in dsfendin s any suit or suits necessary to contest the constitutionality of the act—under w hich tliecornpany was organized,” and “caution the public against purchasing the bonds issued by said company until a final decision of the constitutionality of said act shall have been made.” They appointed one of their number to procure council to look after their interests iu the matter generally.

Picking himself up he turned to a bystander, and with an exceedingly injured look remarked, “It seems they don’t want inc there.” Gen. John A.

The Draining Question.

Our article two weeks ago has, awakened an interest in this ques- : tion, as will be observed, by refer- ! dice to the proceedings we publish 1 of a meeting of the citizens in the I north part of the county. Indeed, matters are taking the precise shape on this question we predicted last winter, when the new law on the subject was passed. The law gives great latitude to companies organizing under it—great opportunities to swindle if they have a mind to do it. Whether tl is is the intention ol j the Kankakee Valley Draining Company, or not, the people immediately interested appear to believe it, and they think, with much reason. We are*told that the company propose cutting a new channel for the river some seventy miles in length, from one and a half to, four miles north ot the present channel. A large part of this to be through the lands of Mr. Cass, the president of the Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne <fc Chicago Ilailroad; tlie dirt irom the ditch to make the bed of a railroad on which Mr. Cass proposes to build a branch road from his, west to Kankakee i City. We arc told that this land was two or three feet under water when it was surveyed and assessed and that the benefits assessed to it by the ditching were much lower per acre, than that ot dry lands Beaver Lake. If this is true there i 8 t reason to suspect someth!.’’*? bad 0,1 t * lo P :u tot the company. If 51 man wouldn’t take the hint at tin’*- be wouldn't when he was knocked down. -^- s " e Bu *d two weeks ago, we are surprised that there is a good dea. 1 bl feeling about Ibis matter. While assessing these landa,- we are told tint Mr. Spaulding, of JJB~ per county, one of the assessors, refused to “believe” as the company wanted him to, and in order to get rid of him, all the assessors were to ‘‘resign,” and none ot the resignations were to be accepted but that of the intractable Spaulding. If this is true, it is another reason to cause suspicion of foal play. Wc understand that Mr. Spaulding has resigned. The people interested appear to befiere a huge swindle is intended, and arc wide awake to see it out. —Kentlond Gazette. -> White county votes upon the question of appropriating a tax of one per cent, lor the benefit of the . proposed Indianapolis, Delphi and | Chicago railroad, on the second Tuesday of October.

INDIANA MATTERS.

The A lira rns trial is in progress at Indianapolis. The grain trade is getting quite brisk at Kcntland. ; J/Ots of huckleberries at Michigan City at four cents a quart. A destructive tire occurred in Evansville last Friday afternoon. Peaches fr-ort St. Josoplp arc selling at one dollar a bushel in La Porte. Indianapolis finds it difficult to secure German teachers for her common schools. Michigan City and Indianapolis experienced a frost week ago last Vuesday night. Colonel Thomas C. Slaughter has been appointed State Agent, by Governor Baker. lieinster, the Covington murderer, lias been convicted ol murder in the second degree The Northwestern Indiana Conference ot the Methodist Church meets at Lafayette on the Bth inst. A family in Milton, Wayne county, have had four weddings, three births ami two deaths within the last nine months. The South Bend Register says that K. J. Cbeßtnutwood, of that city, has been appointed United States Revenue Collector lor this district, vice Col. N- Eddy. General Walter Q. Gresham, State Agent, has been appointed by President Grant to the United States District Judgeship, made vacant by the death of Judge McDonald. The 17th annual State Fair w ill be held at Indianapolis, commencing Monday, September 27th continuing during the week. Hie premiums amount to 12.000,- and no per cent, or entry fee is charged.

Considerable excitement exists in the cast part of this county by the prevalence of milk sickness. Miss Nelson, mecc of James Cole, of Sheffield township, died ot the disease a few days ago, and Mr. Noah Steele, a brother of Basil Steel, is lying very low, w ith scarcely any hope of his recovery. —Lafaytte Weekly Courier. Mr. R. P. Benjamin, of Rensselaer, will open a select school in the school house in Monticello, on Monday, September 20. * * * Mr. Benjamin brings a fine recommendation from the citizen* ot Rensselaer as a teacher and a gentleman, and from Prof Rice, of the Battle Ground Institute, as a student and scholar. —Monticello Herald We find the following going the rounds of our exchanges: “John Snclling, of Jasper county, who has been ‘deaf as an adder’ for nearly twenty years, was suddenly cured, the other day, by un accidental fall of twenty feet from a haymow, lie broke an arm, but found Ins hearing as good as the best, and is satisfied w itlt the result.” Don’t know him; do you? A son of Mr. Crowell, living about three miles south ol Idavtile, met with a severe accident last week. 11c was riding on a load of oats, from winch he fell under the wagon w heel. The wheel running over his head, broke a couple inches of his scull bone on the right Hide. Dr. Robinson, who dressed the wound, informs us that a small quantity of the brain was taken out. Strange as it may seem, the patient has so far recovered as to he able to walk around. lLe was about thirteen years ol age. —Monticello Herald.

The trial of Frank Remster, for the killing of Mrs. Elizabeth Jones at Covington, in June last, closed on Friday. After retiring for an hour and a half the jury returned a virdict of murder in the first degree, which will imprison him for ninety-nine years. lie was ably defended during the trial, and many witnesses gave strong testimony tending to show his insanity. We learn from a citizen of Covington, that the feeling against Remster is intense, and onr informant gives it as his opinion that Remster will be hung before he reaches the State prison. We trust that for the sake of law and order, (not Remster) that wiser counsels will prevail, and that the law will be executed. While the people of Covington feel that he has forfeited his life, we do not believe that they will assume the responsibility of hanging him by mob law. — Lafayette Meekly Courier. Last Friday, Hampton, son of Thomas Wilson, Esq., residing a mile or two southeast of town, shot himself with an Austrian rifle, which was loaded as a shot gun. It appears that, young Wilson had been out hunting, and, returning, when near home, encountered some friends with whom he fell into conversation. While talking, he was leaning on the gnn, the muzzle of which rested in his right armpit.— One leg was drawn up across the oilier, aud, on being lowered to the (Tfou'nd, his pantaloou leg caught the hai'troer of the gun, pulling it back sunjciently to explode the charge when let go- The whole load passed through the arm and came out at the point of thq shoulder. The wouud is beceved to bo necessarily' fatal. Amputation cannot be resorted to, and, although at the present writing the youth is still alive, wc expect to hear of his death at any moment. * The above is another warning against the careless handling of fire-arms. Such accidents arc very frequent in the hunting season, but they blight all be avoided by the exercise of proper caution.— Rochester Union. Spy.

A Sabbath School pic llic was held at Carpenter’s Grove on Friday, the 27th ult., in which several neighboring schools participated The day was propitious, and the place of meeting delightful. The vfcercises were interesting and, we trust, profitable to all who attended. An appropriate address was delivered by Rev. Levi Hughes iu the forenoon, and singing and addresses occupied the afternoon. The singing by the children, under the Miperintendauce of Professor llardy, of Black Oak, waH an interesting feature iu the exercises. It lias been the custom for a lew years past to hold an annual convocation of tho Sabbath Schools within « circle of ten miles of this place in some neighboring grove. The next annual meeting will be held in a grove near Black Oak Point, on the third Saturday in June, 1870. A committee, consisting of Messrs. S. M. Black, George Major, Isaac Davis aud Malilon Johnson, was appointed to make the necessary arrangements lor said meeting.— Also, to provide a banner, to be presented, on certain conditions, to the School committing to memory the greatest number of Scriptural verses. Some member of the committee will visit each school aud explain to them more fully the plan adopted. The public are under obligations to Mr. Wm. Jordan, Jun., by whose courtesy they were permitted to occupy the beautiful grove oil the occasion. W. H. S. Reminuton, Sept. 7tl. Messrs. Ens. Union: Dear Sirs: Rev. Janies McCullough, a minister of the Christian from Dayton, Ohio, is now visiting some friends in this place, and has been holding a series of very interesting meetings, which commenced F rid ay evening, August 27th and closed last evening. He leaves for Dayton, to-day. It was not my privilege to hear him but twice, but those two sermons will long be remembered.
