State is again in a tnrmoil.

THK fiftieth General Assembly of the State of Indiana, oonvened'at Indianap oils at 9 o'clock Thursday morning.

THK press of holiday advertisements being over for the present, our reader^ may look for several columns more of good reading matter thai we have been able to give them for sonfe weeks. $

SINCE April last tweiity-slx million dollars in subsidiary diver coins have been paid out by the Treasury Depart ment, This would make about a mil lion and a half pounds of solid silver

DR. FORBBS WHSON records the startling fact that over 10,000 persons of unsound mind are confined in the lunatic asylums of the Unite^ States, driven mad from over excitement on the sub jeet of spiritualism.

IT is now declared that the jetties at the mouth of the Mississippi river area complete success, the depth of water at the lowest point being nineteen feet, government inspection will take place shortly and the work be received.

THE recent catastrophe at Asbtabala, Ohio, the most shocking that has taken place on any railroad in this country, is having one good effect. The most thor ough inspection is being made of all railroad bridges throughout the coun try, and those hereafter to be built, will undoubtedly be of a mere substantial character. All of this caution, the result of the Ashtabula horror, will have the effect of making railroad travel safer than it has ever been in this country before. But it was a terrible lesson.

THE Bowery Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association of New York city, ainoe beginning its work in May, 1872, has rendered the following relief to 14,000 different men: Number of free meals, 201,200 lodgings, 34,212 baths, 8,876 garments given, 1,532 provided with employment, 3,627. The ag gregate attendance at the religious services during this period ^was :227^639. This is what may be called praetical Christianity.

IT is the opinion of the Tolodo Blade, that there is every reason for believing that 1877 will be one of our most prosperous years. Precedents' strongly support such a belief. Heretofore no depression has lasted longer than three years. The majority have been of shorter duration. The crisis of 1801 lasted about two years that of 1819 was somewhat longer a marked improvement in matters showed itself in 1822 the crisis of 1825 lasted a year. The great panio of 1887—the severest this country has known—lasted scarcely two years, though its effects were long remembered. The panic of 1857 was fol. lowed by a general revival of business within the next eighteen months, and 1860 was one of the most prosperous in our history. There is no doubt bat we would have been able to say nearly as much for 1870—the third year after our panic—but for the potent disturbances that checked the fleod-tide of business revival. There are few possible oontin gencies that can interfere in like manner with 1877. *i

THK astonishing growth of the "tramp naisance" In this coantry Is exciting seiious alarm among thoughtful people, and the oonviction is gradually forcing itself upon all classes that mendicancy is tnsted much too leniently. That vagrancy has been muoh enoouraged by the miadirected charity of well-meaning people, «an scarcely be doubted. Hitherto it baa been comparatively easy for the wan4ering herds of idleca and vagrants to Aubeist, and it is sot to be doubted that a large proportion of them have prafetared such a life to a life of toilsome and poorly-paid labor. When the weather ia not too inelemest this sort ot gipsgring is not wit boat its ebarms. There are always men who eqjey such vagabondage, and they are the very men who are most dangerous to eoeiety. HavUy no settled home, owning no property, paying so taxea, responsible to no one Cor good behaviour, they aooo relapse into a semi-barbarism and will hesitate at no infraction of the law, provided their individual liberty ia not endangered. When food aad clothea do not come easily by begging, they will net hesitate to organise and help themselves by stealing. 8uch a class in this country will in a few years do wntold mischief, and the moat strenuous laws cannot be too soon enacted for the preeervation and protection of law-abiding aitisena.

The Teason why he carries a pistol Is, that be known his habits are very likely to bring him into positions in which it will be oonvenient for him to take some one's life—not that of particular Individual, but to take life. He may therefore be said to be in a constant state of preparation for murder—a state very dangerous as well a* alarming to society. It is obviously just as much for the interest of society to prevent large numbers of people going about armed, as it is to prevent the storage of nitro-glycerine in the cellars of hoUjls. No attempt has yet been made to df al with this class of cases, and we see orily one way in wbich it can be dealt with. When a homicide has been committed with a weapon such as a pistol—in otber words, with a weapon habitually Ufjed as a deadly weapon—let this be

the evil.

THK war feeling which a few mis chievoue newspapers ia this and other Statea 'tried so industriously not long ago to stir up, has almost entirely sub sided, and even the papers that were most active in the worse than foolish undertaking are now as meek as mice, the fact probably having become clear to them that they had mistaken the temper of the people. The injurious consequences which, the commercial interests of the country have already experienced from the perplexing diffi cultiesof a disputed election, are plain to all classes of people, and a judicious apprehension of the deplorable effects of any serious aggravation of the issues makes them hesitate about taking positive grounds on either side. A!I those whose individual hopes and expectations are not bound up in the success of one or the other party, and who can therefore view this matter in the broad aspect of its influence npon the whole country and the aggregate interests of the whole people, rather tbtfh with reference to its effect upon their own sel fish ambition, want a peaceful settlement, and they care little about the technicalities which set politicians by the ears. Without perhaps seeing the way quite clearly, tbey yet believe there is away out that will not involve disaster to the general welfare, which with all patriotic citisena must greatly overbalance the consideration of the succession of either Presidential contestant. In any event, they oorrectly reason that neither the succession of Hayes nor Tilden could by any possibility work thousandth part of the barm that would flow from plunging the country into a civil strife. Every day it is becoming clearer that the sober sense of the people may safely be relied upon l'i tning emergencies such as at present confronts

US. «___ 99ES—S IT cannot be said that any very ma terial or decisive progress towards a solution of the Presidential imbroglio was made during the past week, though the subject, in one form or another, occupied the greater part of the attention of Congress. The country should per bspe be grateful if the difficulties of the situation are not augmented and rendered more perplexing by the eager devotion to it of the congressional mind. However, what has been done and aaid recently waa for the most part in a mere favorable direction, and should perhaps be regarded as justifying a hope that at last wisdom and patriotism will prevail over demagognery and partis•ptarn. There was evidence of a generally better temper in both branches of Congress, and the hot-heads of the majority of the House were notably docile and undemonstrative. Undoubtedly Congress has begun to realise that the great mqfority of the people, and partiealarly the substantial classes, have no sympathy with warlike threats and revolutionary aaeasure, sod that the party which seeks success through theae means Invites inevitable and overwhelming defeat in the nature.

evidence of a criminal intent Jet it be incumbent upon the person who has committed the act to explain to the jury how, why, and when, he became possessed of the weapon, what his object was in carrying it, whether for selfdefense or for what other reason. The jury would not then be bound to find him guilty, but might acquit him if he convinced them of the absence of crirtii nal intent. At the same time, juries would be reminded, in away tbey gen orally need, that people are not in t|ha habit of carrying every day on their persons the means of death, without at least a vaguely-formed desire to take lifo» Such a law would operate as a wholesome lesson to the pistol carrying class, and tend to make the carrying of concealed weapons a dangerous busi ness." These suggestions are excellent, and, if heartily endorsed by public sen timent, would soon become effectiyi means of rendering murder less frequ But it is the public sentiment that nee|d8 to be a loused. A short time since, an eminent judge on the New York bench defended the practice of carrying weap ons, asserting that a man's life was not secure without this means of protection and declaring that he never went with out a loaded pistol. While our very judges hold these views it will bediffl cult to obtain a reform

Europe Is the most densely populated, bsving 88 person* to thesquare mile -Asia comes next with 48 to the square mile, Africa next with 17Jtf, and America and Australia bring up the rear withSK and W respectively.

There are 215 cities on the earth with 'a population of.over 100,000 29 of half a million or more, and nine cities contain inga million or more inhabitants. Of these last four are in China. Including Brooklyn with New York, for purposes of comparison, and the greatest cities of the world stand in this order: London, 3,489,428 Paris, 1,851,792 New York 1,535,622 Vienna, 1,091,999 Berlin, 1, 044,000 Canton and three other Chinese cities, one million each. ft*

Mn. WHEELER, the Republican candidate for Vice President, has been inter viewed by a Herald correspondent, and expresses himself very decidedly that Congress can never be constituted a returning board,, aud that it has no power to go behind tbe returas or be yend the mere question of regularity of certificates in, other words that Con gress cannot investigate whether Louisi ana has gone for Tilden or Hayes. He regards the action of the Returning Board, on that point, as final and conclusive. He spurns: nd rebukes all tbe recent talk about a com promise and declares that the great issue shall and must only be settled by the strict carrying out of tbe letter and the spirit of the constitution He closed the interview with these words: "I do not believe that this dispute will be wholly an unmixed evil, I believe it is going to teach tbe people tbe machinery of the Presidential elec tion which they have never understood before, and that it will be the means of Averting much trouble and some strife in the future." "v

IT cannot be doubted that much pov ertyand actual suffering exists in this city. Scarcely a day passes that we do not

hear

fraud*,

of destitution that is positively

sickening. And bow could it be other wise? Many industrious laboring men are out of work and have been out, for weeks. For along time, wages of those who had work, have be.en down to a point that barely enabled the man receiving them to support bis family. The winter has been unusually severe and the extreme cold unusually protracted The single item of fuel has cost much more than in other seasons. Altogether tbe poor have had a hard, hard time, and. no man or woman calling themselves christians cau afford to forget it. Each person who is able to do more thsn provide the necessities for himself and those immediately dependent on him, should feel the obligation resting upon him to do something for his lees fortunate neighbor.

THE year 1876 will be memorable for some of the most appalling disasters that have ever been known. The cy clone in India, by which more than two hundred and seventy-fivo thousand people were swept to instant destruction the horrible fire at the Brooklyn Theater, by which hundreds of persons were burnt alive, the Ashtabula disaster, by which a train loaded with holiday visit ors carried its living fright to a death as terrible as human mind can imagine, the recent shipwreck on the coast of Long Island, where twenty-eight men perished in sight of their families and friends—all of these and many more make up suoh a list of distressing trage dies as cannot soon be forgotten. Tbe old year will be memorable for maay good things but it brought with it much of mlcery and woe. May tbe year upon which we have entered be more kind to us all.

THK recount in South Carolina gives the State to Hayes and Wheeler by about 700 majority, but shows thst Hampton and tbe entire Democratic State ticket is elected by a much larger majority. Hampton has written letters to both Hayes and Tilden announcing bis determination, under all circumstances, to preserve tbe peace and acoept either horn of the Preeidentlal dilemma that is presented, without making a fu about it. The Florida Returning Board, under the direction of the Supreme Court, has made anew count and Hayea is still ahead. Louisiana is now the last hope of tbe Democracy.

SPKAKIKO of what it terms "inaooent counterfeiters," the Champaign Gasette ys: 8ome of the business men of this city, who last summer circulated adver tiaing cards in imitation of United States treasury notes, may feel interested in the fact that at Springfield, tbia month, in tbe United Statee oourt, suits are to be brought against a number of persona wbo thus violated one of the plain provisions of the etatutea. The penalty In this state Is fine of fl,000. Quite a namberofthe Vermillion county merchants are on tbe ragged edge, also several buaineaa men of Lafayette, all of whom became innocent counterfeiters la their desire to advertise. Tbe old-ffcsh-ioned, square-toed newspaper advertisement is the better and safer style after all. It is seen oflener. read more, and heeded more frequently than any otber means of announcement*

to inquire into the facts These coiumif? tees have, as yet, completed their task is only one of the three states, but in that one the investigation Hne* not confiri but explodes, the confi.ni.i and noi claim made by the Democratic party. South Carolina is thus taken out of tM list of disputed state*, and conceded fe Hayes by the up&nimoas judgment of committee of whom a majority are Dee#1 ocrats—a result which encourage* and strengthen* iose supporters of Mr. flays! whose 19pes had began to wavel, and, in the same measure, abates Democratic confidence. It afford* a conspicioti* proof that Democratic a-*erti nd. are no criterion of truth, for if Mr. Tilden's friends could be so egregiously mistaken respecting South Carolina, they may be also in error respecting tbe two other disputed states. At any rate the country will no longer place much reliance on what the Democratic politician* assert, but only on what the cemmitiees ot investigation prove in regard to the disputed votes. On the face of the regular certificates, Mr. Hayes is elected, and the burden of proof rests with the Demo* crats when a claim is made that certificates are invalidated by fraud. Elector^ al votes can not be rejected on mors doubts or suspicions, but only on concla* sive evidence. If full investigation leaves the result in any state, doubtful, the arraigned canvassing board is entitled to the benefit of Redoubt.:

It: is not surprising that Republican senators are recovering form their rectfat misgivings. According to present sppear* ance«, the Republican party will exhibit vigorous unity in insisting that Mr. Hayes shall be declaredelected and be inducted into office. Demycratic resistance will be futile: unless so strong a ca3e of fraud is made out in Louisiana as to evoke a vigorous remonstrance by the

Kis

ublic voice. As Tennyson finely saysin new drama The voice of any people the sword, That guards them or the sword that beats thsn down.

We are persuaded that no other s#prd will be drawA from its scabbord, and without a resort tp violence Mr. lia cannot be thwarted if he should be ini gurated as president. Mr. Tilden.might indeed take tbe oath, but it «rould boss empty form. His friends might cliim that he was president He jure, while Mr. Hayes was only president de facto but the Republicans would insist that Hayes was both de iure and de fi president, and would have the mea: making their claim efficient. After Tilden had taken an idle oatb, further could he do? The first

It Will be said that the Democ||de house may stop the supplies but this us Vain flourish—a threat which the Dtnt^ cratic party would not dare to piit is execution. "The voice of the people" would indeed prove to be a "swoii" if the house should be reckleps enough to attempt to throw the country into an&chy by recourse to so mad an experi But even if the house could be enough to refuse to pass any approj^rii-, tions bills, how would that help Mr Tilden? Withholding the usual appropristion would be a two-edged sword,: sod its sharpest edge would be turned tqtrsid Mr. Tilden. It would at least effectually cut off all his means of conducting a gov* ernment, but it would not necessarily be fatal to the administration of Mr. Hfcye, It would call forth such general indigoi. tion thai Mr. Tilden and his party fouU be crushed, morrally as wellaspoli and the business community would .Coaie 10 the rescue of the government.

Mr. J. W. Dever, agent of the Stferier' Patent Chamber Gas Burner is now inthe city for the purpose of supply! nggas consumers with this new invention* for the saving of gas. Last evening we.v witnessed a test of its operation. Six-? burners—the ordinary brass burnerswere lighted and found to burn two feetv of gas in 3 minutes and 40 seconds.. Then the Steiner burners were put on and it required 5 minutes and 40 seconds^ to consume the same amount of gas— thus showing a saving of 37 percent.— prto put it tbe otber way the old burners consumed 63 per cent, more than theSteiner burner. The light, as near aswo could judge .was about the same. Some ten or a dozen other tests havebeen made in this city. The lollowingv is one of the results: J. W. Dever, Agent for the Steiner'

Chamber Gas Burners. !f DEAR SIR:

Previous to purchasing your burners we made a comparative test between those formerly used by us and yours, the exact result proved as follows, viz:.: From the 27th of Nov. till the 13th of Dec, we consumed 2900 f-et till 6 o'clock, With yours we consumed from the 13th, of Dec. till the 27th of Dec. 1700 feet. During the latter we kept our store open 3 nights till 9 o'clock, an unusual hour' thus making the time with yours, equal to 22 nights against 16 regular nights with ours. The light produced

from

yours is fully equal to our fermer lights. W. W. PAVWK, Manager for Foster Brothers, Terre-

Haute, Ind. 1. ,) December 29,1876.

Persons interested in the consumption of gas, desirous of having good lights and reducing tho consumption of gas from 30 to 60 per cent., can do so beyond doubt, by adopting the Steiner chamber gas burner. During the past five weeks, 110 persons have purchased them in this city. Among those who have made absolute test by the watch arid meter, are M/essrs. W. S. Ryce ACo.t. Mr. A. Arnold, Mr. A.
