THE RENSSELAER UNION. Thursday, Nov. 28, 1872. '

CMim>B and Criminal* at Unity Church to-morrow evening.—Wi™»vU» Sentinel . ■ Shouldn't wonder if the Legislu- i tare W«s largely reprMpshted; mow ] of the members make a Kvi'ngj by ; dealing with .the two eotntnodities. The Legislature adjourned yoib.'j lerday until next Monday in order that the members thereof may i$- j *peet the suggestion of President Grant and Gdvcrttor Raker setting ! apart to-day for thanksgiving and j praise. lton. O. P. Morton was re-elected , to the United States Senate last Tuesday by a majority of, 16- on joint ballot. In the Se nate Moi tor. received. 27 votes and Williams 21. In the itqtisc Morton 51 votes, , Williams 41. Mr. Wynn has introduced a bill; in the Lower House of our Legislalure to redistrict the State for Congressional jturposes. This bill incites the tenth district out of the rentities .of Laporte, St. Joseph, Starke, Porter, Lake, Ne\\ t>m, lionton, White, Carroll. Jasper and Pulaski. William 11. Mattingly, editor, of the Rochester Union S/>y is the cheapest laborer in the State! He works early and late, boards himself, furnishes his own lights and fuel, builds his own fires and furnishes all the implements and raw material for $1.50 a week —or 25 cents a day. Jasper county ranks -fourth in this Congressional district in the majorities „ given fur Grant. The majorities of the several counties whieli compose the I Uh district are as follows, every one having been carried by the Republicans at the Presidential election: i*t. Joseph.. 1,023. F.uitou ..7. .. 135.' l.akr -731. Lajkiite 120. Porter...... 724, Marshall... -.. 2.3. Jasper...... 4e&. Fulusk-i....... C. Newton.... 20G. Stark 41. While —— Total -majority 3,555., White county not yet reported. ", lion. David 0. Casey, editor of 'tli’e Southwestern Republican' at' Arkadelphia, Arkansas!, formerly a resident of Jasper county, claims to bare .been elected to tht> Arkansas legislature. As there were two polls opened in that State on election day—one by the Republican party, and one by Greeley Democracy — if is difficult for outsiders to just exactly tell which vote will finally be declared the legal one. and perhaps those immediately eon cerned niray yet experience a tittle •trouble in the matter. Mr. Casey was the Greeley candidate. Attention is directed to the advertisement of Vick’s Floral Guide for 1872, which appears in another column. We have received a copy of this edition oi the (in'i/c and find itrnost beautiful in design and printing* ’lt i,s an-improvement cm .-til. its predecessors. It is elegant, it is superb. There is no faiierjlealer' ill the world than Mr. James Vick, off Rochester, - " NeAT. We have •planted seeds procured at his establishment for the last six years and ■ always found them equal to, and mu surpassffigliis ienresent at ions. We would never buy seeds usually ' offered in country stores when we could send to Mr. Vick. While the members of our Legislature are looking after the interests of their constituents by regulating the tariffs-for freight and passengers would it not be well,for them also to look after the convrYort of travelers, too? Let them pass a-law requiring each passenger car run on roads through Indiana tp he provided with at least one water tank kept constantly filled summer and winter with good drinking water and a cup attached to drink irom; make conductors responsible for the enforcement of the provisions of the act, and also require them to keep fire* sufficient for the coinfort of passengers. At present thes e is no Law in Indiana requiring these jinportant things to be done and on some roads they are often neglected both to the destruction of comfort and injury of health. We remember coming jjowtt from Michigan City to Sfg&" ford iit July when there was pot a drop of water to be had on phe train during the trip. Among the ! ,paj*engers on that trip were women and little children, who were fever-J ish from the jars of a long journey and heats of-the season, that suffered terribly from thirst Such neglect on the part of railroad companies is outrageous, if not criniinaßand the Legislature should pass an act compelling them to jernedy if.

J. K. Stoll, who was a candidate on the Democratic ticket in October for Auditor of Indiana, lias vceontly been elect-ed President of the ! board of trustees of the town of f.Tgttbßr. He \\ ill no doubt Ee nn ! vitieient officer and an ornament to i his .--ex. We rejoice at his prosno- , tion and tender congratulations to h.is constituent* l . The xVer»r?y‘ si s the suggestive title of a pretty little magazine for ; youngest readers, jutbl-rslicd by John 1.. Shoioy, Boston, Mass., at $1.50 j a year. It i* intended for the wee • ones—children from four to ten years old—who are just learning to understand what they tend; and it ’ is, 'in our estimation, without a peer in'that department. The stories though simple and adapted to l the comprehension of: infant minds, i are not silly or pointless, but are in- ' Riruetivc and tend to develop the tendcr budd i i)g—in tel lee ts» -they rare wnttefi to amuse. It Is quite : profusely illustrated with - good ■ clear engravings, and the printing |is without fault. We have seen 1 this neat little magazine every i . 'month for the las* three years, and ■ do not praise it without a knowl- ! edge that its contains merit all. and ! more than we can say for them in ' this limited notice. The publisher j has consented to club with our. q>a--1 per op libwl terms, and we offer 1 The A’lnserg, monthly, and The i Union, weekly, for 85 a year, subI scription in advance. Tilt Nursery I woffl'd Iwr a valuable Christina* ! present, affording both instruction j and amusement the year round. Tlie" Remington Journal (.1 tire , 20th came to hand last Monday , night, having been five-days tfaveling twelve miles. In it is announced that “Cars itteaeiy soaicc. A now : railroad is projected. Coal all j pda red oiit again. Charley JouvcMiat has opened a new grocery.— Potatoes 50 eent-s a bushel. S. M. i Black lias sold his harness shop to ]D. 11.

Tory boast in j moral,'-religions, sanctified RentingI ton of the finest combined billiard j ball, bailer shop,tobacco and cigar : store,•and oyster saloon, ‘'this side jof Cincinnati.” The Journal ani nounces an abandonment of ready | printed outsides and hereafter it will all be edited and printed at heme. If the labors of the editor look so tilth \\lien concentrated on half :i 1 sheet, how will they appear spread ! ever both sides? In all soberness. • wt would like to see a good paper ! established at Remington, and see | it well sustained; but we want it to be a cred"-to the county and one that shall be devoted to the noble work of advocating the true interests of all the people* such as inducing-immigration to its fertile lands-, advocating needed public improvements, striving to elevate the standard of schools and public morals, disseminating useful . information, and making itself an I institution valuable and respected. • - . ■ h This jsd.be. way they “go for” do-, linqueilt tclicvol “marms” down in - Johnson county, through the local' papers: “Trafalgar, Nov. in, I>7'2- ‘ ‘‘The School b'oiiig taught, in •-Dist.'No. ,bn Heiidcy tovuisiripv is miserably managed.

R. S. Dwiggins, pur senator, on the same day introduced a like bill in the senate and succeeded in getting it passed to a second reading without delay. We are glad to note this prompt action on the part of our senator .and representative and ate assured that the measure will pass speedily and that, the laro- which lias .given t lie-people- of thik" part of the State so much trouble will be wip4d from the statute books.- —Koniand Gazette. Tlie most liopeful plan yet suggested for meting out justice to murderously inclined emotional lunatics is embodied in a bill offered ;in the Indiana Legislature which provides that in eases of homicide where the plea .of-iusanify hr sj?t up, and the defendant is acquitted, the jury shall-specify in their verdict whether the return of “not guilty” Was upon that ground. If ■so, the maniac, who, in an instant of pncontrollable slew a fellow creature, is forthwith to Be committed to the 111110,110 asylum, not until pronounced sane by another jury, but for life, or a term

In that c%ent, 100, mania of Mich sort would doubtless he of tess frequent occurrence.. R may be that tliesc sentences to tlie lunar | tic asylum would be held in opera--1 tion.in case of n person really sane; but it would s't-em, since insanity is so easily proven, tliatthe testitnoqy of tin- same learned experts wh*Q satisfied the jury of the mcntal’un soundness of the defendant on trial might be relied upon for like service when the obje.ct was to deprive him of- opportunity to -go mail again ami pistol eomebody.— InterOc'rua. The discussion of tlfe Kankakeb drainage jaw in the Rouse has devejoped two facts: first, that there j.s an active and well organized ring working to prevent the repeal of the 1 aw; and, second? that an over-: w helming majority of the people of ‘dhoseccounties affected by lt corflider the law an unmitigated swindle an d, are _u 11 w.ij lil ig to accept any action sh art of its iopeaT.
