Civil courts .were already in operation for come purposes, and it was doubtfol whether their jur isd iction extended go eases of this kind. The Court decided that the law of Congress the military government did nat repeal tho previous law at Congress which gave tho •Ml courts jurisdiction before the war. This is true. The FSCOO* I •truetiou sets of Congress are only remedial and temporary. The military govenunrart is only teeeutimM ■M& a permanent civil government aanbe saMy •rested and put in force. Hence tito laws establishing h would not necessarily repeal or tarisrfcre with the prior permanent laws estabtteMng the authority nod jurisdiction of the courts. Some bad aepraasod fears that the rajpeaae court might attempt to limit gad eiroMteflrihe the powers of Congress. But there is little danger of thia. Congress is the supremo authority of the nation and has power to regulate the court As to the question whether the civil courts will do justice in Yxboasfo case is altogether another affair. He is to be tried by a jury.— Whether they will do justice or not the trial will show for itself We Mod aot prejudge them.

Crime.

We were called ou last Tuesday to print .onto posters for Peter Keller, ot Monterey, Pulaski county, describing a horse that had been stolen of him on last Sunday night The theft had been discovered Monday morning, and Mr. Keller and his brother at once started after tbe thief They followed his trail to a point between Winamac and Francesville, where they lost it Every few days there js some person looking for a horse that has either been lost or stolen, and the frequency of the occurrence would lead one to suppose we had somewhere in the limits of this or adjoining counties an organised gang of horse thieves. It is certain that a great many horses are stolen each year from this and adjoining counties, and it would be well for all of our citizens who have good stock to see that it is kept secure, and in such a shape that if stolen the thief could not get more than a few hours start when it would not be a hard matter ■to capture him.

Not only are there a good many horses stolen but other kinds of stealing ta going on, and it is dona mostly by straggling thieves who have found their quarters in the large cities rather hot for them and now raid on tho country. About two weeks ago the man who purchased tho bit that was used on tbs door of Mr. Kent's store at Kentland, was here, and was noticed particularly. It was supposed that he was on the lookout for a horse bat most likely he was looking for some crib to crack that would pay him. Our citimns would dq well to be prepared in case any of these gentlemen pay them a visit, and if no better way presents itself, explode one or two metallic' cartridges at them.

The Elections.

The election held last Tuesday resulted about as predicted by the papers tor weeks In advance. In New York the Democrats have elected the State officers but the Republicans are believed to have a majority of two or three in the Senate and a larger one in the Assembly. Mr. Greeley, candidate for Comptroller, ran ahead of his ticket seven or eight thousand votes. In Massachusetts, Gov. Claflin is re-elected but by a reduced majority. The majority of both branches of the Legislature is Republican.— The contest in that State was upon the liquor question. Both Prohibitionists and" anti-Prohibitionists claim the victory. Wisconsin is Republican. Minnesota is claimed by the Democrats. Alabama Democratic. Maryland Democratic. At Chicago, the citizens Reform Ticket, supported by the Trihau, Jaanal and Hand* —half and halfin opposition to the regular Republican ticket, is elected by 8,000 or 0,000 majority. .

INDIANA MATTERS.

There are 8,552 school children in LaPorte county. The LaPorte county fair awarded bl.ocs in cash premiums. Caßfoiraia pears of the Vicar of Wakefield variety, sell atlndiaaspolis for 25 cents each. One hundred and fifty thousand bushels of wheat have been thrashed in Gibson eounty this tall. J. 11. Coffee, of Indianapolis, has sold the celebrated trotting ;horse “Esau” to a Kentuckian for >llOO. William Ingrim, Cashier of the First National Bank at Logansport, died on Bunday morning, Oct 24. The Kentland Gazeffo says a letter passed through the post-office here yesterday, addressed to “Portwasheyton, Wiskonsun.”

The world-renowned Davenport brothers will give two entertainments at Metropolitan Hall, in Indianapolis, on Friday and Saturday nights next. TV The Rochester Spy has a hard time. It says if we presume to publish the umpire’s decision in a dog fight, the owners of the worsted brute threatens us with loss of patronage. The Indianapolis Jewwal says that persons who were awarded premiums at the late State fair are very backward in calling for them, and only about three-fourths of them have yet been paid. The 75 th Ind. Infantry had a reunion at Kokomo last Thursday. — Two hundred members of the Regiment were present A permanent organization was effected, and the next meeting will be held at Noblesville on the 24th and 25 th of November, 1870.

A young man by tho name of Barker, who stole a horse in Michigott, was tracked to the house of some of his friends residing in Jasper county, and arrested on Tuesday night, and on yesterday morning was taken to Michigan fortrial. —J&nrimd GattUe. Judge Bicknell, of the New Albany Circuit, m a case appealed from the County Commissioners, has given an opinion that “an individual who has been proven guilty of violations ot the taw under which he has held license during the past year, is an unfit person to be entrusted with license again.”

A “spiritual” acallawag, named Church, has been ingloriously exposed in Lafayette. S. A. Huff, Thos. B. Ward, Charles Yeakles, C. Blackmcr, H. W. Camstock, W. G. T. C. Tyler, unite in a card exposing Church as a cheat and a swindler. One of our druggists recently sold twenty-two grains of morphine to a young woman who has for some years been given over entirely to she use of this slow poison, and to his surprise she swallowed it at a single aose! He was tod familiar with the drug and his customer to feel very much alarmed, but he was a little staggered when she came back an hour later and bought some more. — Indianapolit Mirror.

At a reunion of the family of Elijah and Elizabeth Martindale, in Henry county, last Tuesday, October 26, nearly all the members were present. The pair were married on the 12th of October, 1815, and have lived to see their posterity number one hundred and twenty-eight, of whom eighty-eight are still living. Of their fifteen children, fourteen lived to be heads of families, and thirteen are still alive, Judge E. B. Martindale, of Indianapolis, being one. - ' “ On Saturday night a shooting affair occurred at Bloomington.— James L., a son of Hon. James Hughes, and a party of young men were on a spree at a saloon in that place. Hughes became engaged in a dispute with a young man named Farmer. Offensive language was used by both parties, when young Hughes drew a pistol and fired two shots at Farmer, the first entering the region of the kidneys and the other penetrating the thigh. The wounds are very dangerous and may prove fatal. Hughes was admitted to bait

A frightful accident occurred at Rolling Prairie on Monday last, which, as near as we can learn, happened as follows: A number of hands were engaged in threshing wheat at the farm of Mr. Brown, the machine being sot in the barn. John Nichols, a son-in-law of Mr. Brown, and son of Mrs. Clark, of New Carlisle, was stationed in the barn loft to pitch sheaves down to the feeder. While engaged in his duties he made a misstep and fell headlong from the loft, hie head striking the cylinder, which was running at full speed. He was instantly drawn into the machine, head first, and in leas time than it takes to tell it, his head and upper portions of his body were reduced to a shapeless, unrecognizable mass by the teeth of the cylinder and concave. The right is said, by those who witnessed it, to have been a most sickening one. The deceased was about twenty-five years of age.— Soatk frad Jimi*,

A bate boring match between two Lafayette buteMHT named Wu Smith and Dennis Sullivan, came off on tho 18th in»L Smith dressed his bullock in ten minutes and fortynine seconds, white Sullivan <b<l his up in six minutes and tWrtyseven seconds, beating Ms opponent four minutes and twelve seconds. We noticed the other day a novel plan for leading an obstreperous horse behind a Wagon. It had been put in some “movers” who were bound westward ho! and they were snaking the old gray along atatirdvratc. A runningnoose had been adjusted under the old horse’s tail, and passing forward had been spliced to tho wagon and “hauled in” so that them was precious little slack left. When tbe old gray elevated her nose in dudgeon and refused to follow, the “stack” would play out, and then the old mare’s nind quarters would be hoisted high in air, to her intense and unmitigated disgust and the very great sat-1 isfaction of a crowd of spectators. The last sight we caught of the unique procession was the flaxen tail of old gray flaunting in the air like the running gears of a comet. —lndianapolit Mirror.
