It will be seen that a large ppr. i lion of our space is taken up this week by the publication of the new temperance law. Al! may read it -and-judgo of its meritr for them : selves, -df the copy we have, which is from the Indianapolis Journal, it a true copy, the law is full of inaccuracies, is ambiguous, and will lead to endless law suits. A smoke house having lately byen robbed of its contents at Francesville, the Topic., says suspicions are aroused, and recommends that the culprit he hanged to the nearest tree. Query: Which is most injurious, to society, the individnal that steals a few pounds of meat in violation of law, or the one who instigates a mob to commit murder in violation of law? » —hill; —.l : The two Republics of France ' and Spain, lying side l>y side in Europe, although hut infants are already having their influence, and crowned heads in adjoining nations cfbscrve with fear the rapid and seemingly permanent advance of republicanism among their subjects. The doctrine of the divine right of kings seems to be gradually losing ground in European countries ns well as elsewhere in the world and even the firmest seated mot;archs tremble at the revolution of popular sentiment which threatens to destroy their trade. It is not probable that Congress intends to, or will, do anything with the Members implicated in Credit Mobilicr transactions.— Neither does it now appear that Mr. Senator Caldwell wili be expelled. although the testimony of corruption, against him is positive, complete and overwhelming.— These small (!) straws do not indicate that tlie 'Republican majority in Congress is tainted and its sense of strict honor blunted, perhaps, yet it must be'admitted by all who are not blinded with partizaiv zeal, that they may be converted into strong—corollary evidence by the opposition. Those Democrats who insist that the House Committee appointed to investigate the alleged Credit Mobilier corruption is a “whitewashing” committee to shield prominent Republicans, should remember that it is composed of two Republ'eans, Messrs. Poland and McCrary, two Democrats, Messrs. Niblack and Beck, and one Liberal^Republican, Mr. Banks. Of course the political views of the gentlemen would not bias their decision, but it is well, nevertheless, for the Democracy to keep the complexion of the committee in their minds, lest accidentally they should by partizan zeal be led to make invidious observations. Appearances are now beginning to look squally for Mr. York, who defeated Mr. Pomeroy’s re-election to the United States Senate from Kansas, by charging an attempt to buy votes. Up to the present time Mr. Y oik’s witnesses have failed to give that full, positive and complete testimony which should sustain such positive charges in. order to make them good. It would not be surprising if instead of occupying the position of acetiser, Mr. York would lie compelled toehange places with Mr. Pomeroy and become the aceiised. At any rate the “investigation’* is making a serious muddle, out of which it is difficult to see which party will «ajne-«!far and-Rudefiled.

The genttmcrr-connected with the Continental railroad enterprise all write confidently and hopefully, each letter from the East says positively that work will be resumed ill the spring.

The Liberty Mills corespondent of the yorthem Indianian says, ‘Tn formation recently received by one of our citizens from the headquarters of the New York, Fort Wayho and Pacific railway, in New York, gives assurance that active operalions.’ in the field will commence just as soon as the weathef will permit.” This is what we hereabouts know as the’ Continental road.

The amount of appropriations .recommended in the chief engineer's .report for harbors for the coining year, is $19,000,000. The Congressional committee oil commerce cut it down thirty per cent, and recommended $6,000,000. Tile recommendation for Michigan City was L'lit fl"wrrTifty pel cent. —The Enterprise says, We understand that the fund now on hand for ii-side work is only about $3,000-—a sum inadequate to tile work required. The enl»ineer in rhargo reported the ontiiKil sum rs $ 10,(lli0::s lits-poaary lor this purpose.’ until -the cnusirnction of tile outer Imrbor.

The ambiguity of the Indiantanr forbids suspicion of lurking flattery, while its absolute noncoinimttaf iii ♦.ypenegron of opinion wbile -seeming to praise is charmingly artistic. Thank you, Brother Williams, lor the “notice,” and permit us to say that the editor of the Indianian always “takes a notion” to make his paper both lively and interesting, ami he seldom fails. It gives us pleasure to see in your monthly “roll of honor” substantial evidence that his efforts are appreciated by many, patrons. . - v - -- .. A little daughter, aged about six years, of Horace K.

Winegardcn may be spared the anguish of these sore trials. ; TheTndanapolis Journal and the Rochester Union Spy, both Repub- ■ lican in politics, think that Mr. ' Colfax prevaricated a trifle in his ; speech at South “Bond last Tall, when referring to his connection with Credit Mobilier transactions, j The Christian Union, over which 1 Rev. Henry Ward Beecher presides as chief editor, and Harpers' Weekly, ' under the editorial management of i Mr. George William Curtis, who is conceded to be foremost among the ; Republican editors of the nation, i express similar views based upon ; the testimony elicited before Judge ‘ Roland’s committee. | The Indianapolis’ Journal thinks I (and thousands will agree with it) that “....

Ttieu lie would have stood on solid ground, and his immense lolloping ot political friends would also have ~kiioWn just wliri-c they stood It is technical ly true that Oaks Ames “never gave nor offered to gioe Mr. Colfax one share or twenty shares, or two thousand shares in the Credit Mouther;” but it is true that Mr. Col lax did partially buy twenty shares of the stock,,and that lie 1 paiu Attlee sane 4394 on the purchase, and that some-lime atterwards, learning that it was a dtugerous and improper investment, Air Colfax told Atnes that he wanted to withdraw from the whole matter, and chi Withdraw from it. and [lever made any further, payment. Mr. Collax ought in his Soutli fiend speech to have stated facts fully—or, better still .tie Should have said nothing. What he did say was calculatejlirbefog the matter, to mislead- I,is friends, and to complicated ilis-position witeo thfe -tmt.il came out, as in spi;e ot all obstacles it is sure to do sooner or later, Mr. Colfax’s prevarication, in the -instance referred to in the above quotation, and its detection, was calculated to cast a shadow of suspicion over any subsequent statement made by him about his connection with the matter, circniryscribing that perfect confidence the public bail reposed in his absolute truthfulness, and made it necessary to have those statements supported with positive, nnimpeaelialtle corroborative Usfimonv. 1
