P. S. WESTFALL EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

AN Important bill affecting the rights of married women has recently passed the Legislature of New York. It provides that "Contracts or obligations hereafter made or entered into by a married woman, except between herself and her husband, and except also contracts of suretyship for her husband in writing, shall be as vall'd for all purposes as if she wore unmarried, and may be enforced as if she were single." We ought to have a similar statute in Indiana. Some of the States have gone further than the New York bill. In Iowa, xnarriod women have all the legal rights that men have, and there is no good reason why they should not have. The idea that married women haven't sense enough to take care of their own property is altogether a mistaken one now. The law, as it now stands, protects the wife entirely too much and Mr. Greeley's oelebrated Interrogatory, "Does protection protect?" when directed to this question, should certainly have to be answered in the negative. The) protection which the law gives the hardworking, industrious wife by giving the pittance

case there will be a peaceful solution of ion reversing the decision, of the court the dtacuUies which long threatened below. The case involves the title to the peace and prosperity of the State.

The Louiaiana case is perhaps more difficult. The President has selected a committee of prominent and moderate men from several States to visit New Orleans and examine carefully the merits of the respective claims of Packard and Nicbolls to the governorship. The report of this committee will be entitled to, and will receive general credence. It is a very different thing from the partisan committees which have heretofore visited that State and its report will be received in a very different spirit b^he people both North and South, \Vhat the next step will be cannot be forseen but it will be characterized by the same good sense and moderation that have marked the action of the President in the steps already taken. The commission left on Tuesday for New Orleans with a letter of instructions from the President. They are not to inquire into the facts of the recent State election or the can vasa of the votes cast, as the action of Congress on that subjeot is to be regarded as conclusive. Their duty is to attempt a peaceable settlement of the differences between the rival governments and the establishment of either Paokard or Nicholls as the recognised executive of the State. It is doubtful whether so much can be effected but every lover of peace and order will hope or the best,

greatest events of the un

tappy four years occurred during this month.

THB celebrated Jumel case, which has been pending in the courts for fifty years past, came to an end in-the United States Supreme Court last Monday by a decis

real estate In the .city of New ork, which, since the litigation begaH, has become of fabulous value. The estate was inherited by Madame Jumel, a noted4)eauty of revolutionary times and the second wife of Aaren Burr, and, at her death, passed to Eliza Jumel Perry, a niece and adopted daughter of Madame Jumel, who sold portions of the property to other parties. While the will of Madame Jumel was in litigation George W. Bowen, the son of an illegitimate daughter of Madame Jumel appeared and demanded a share of the inheritance. The case went from court to court until finally the Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York decided against the claim of Bowen." It was this decision that the United States Supreme Court reversed. In length of litigation the case will bear honorable comparison with that other famous case of Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce.

FEW people have any adequate conception of the immense proportions of the municipal indebtedness of this country. It is appalling when the facts are confronted. The Cincinnati Commercial has prepared and published a table showing the amount of the municipal debts of some forty-one of the principal cities of the United States. The aggregate is more than five hundred and forty million collars and runs all the way from 1830.600, in Long Island City, to 1148,107,557 in New York. Between these extremes stand Philadelphia with $60,000,000, Boston and Brooklyn with over |40,000,000 eaoh, Cincinnati with 122,000,000, Chicago with $18,000,000, St. Louis with $16,000,000 and Pittsburgh with $13,000,000. To meet the interest on these prodigious debts requires a tax or from $1.33 to $4.44 on every $100 worth of property. This is a severe strain on the industry of the people In these bard

HERE'S a ray of enoouragement for people who want to be postmasters and mistresses. It is announced that in making appointments the President will be guided by the following rule: where the present incumbent has served four years with satisfaction it will be in his favor but where he has been in the office eight years consecutively it will operate against him, the President being of opinion that eight years ii as long as a man ought to be retained in the public service. This rule appliea especially to offices where the salary exceeds #1,000, of which there are 1,600.

THERE is only one way that the constantly increasing ravages of the rat can be stayed, and that is that some use will be found for the pestilent rodent, and that this use can be perfected only in its death. He laughs at the devices of man to exterminate him or restrict his domain. But if his skin, as is asserted, can be made into gloves with advantage, we will soon find our sufferings from the rat pest decreasing rapidly. They will be exterminated as rapidly and inevitably as the deer and the buffalo. This hope is born of the reports that the trade in rat skins is developing rapidly. We hope it is, and that it will oontinue to develop until rat skins are as scarce and valuable as minkpelts.

THE New York Meicury mentions that a party of Sunday school teachers and others have been organized In England for a two-months' "Biblical edueationtour" in the Holy Land. AN unusually large number of travellers have taken tickets for the trip. The Holy Land is not now what it was in the days when the Temple displayed itself to the besieging army of Titus. Jerusalem, once so large and populous, is now a wretched city over which the Turks hold sovereign away, and Judea, Galilee, and Samaria are poor, rocky, desolate districts that make a sad impression on the mind and heart of the visitor. To an American conversantwifhonr great inland seas and mighty rivers, the Sea of Tiberius and the Jordan seem as nothing, and It requires considerable reflection on the great events which took place on their shores to bring the spirit into a proper feeling of reverence for the past. It is perhaps best that the young and unreflecting keep away from Palestine, as the disappointments which they must necessarily feel tend to shake their faith in the momentous events which give it world wide celebrity. The common reverence lor the Holy Land can be better kept up by reading Its romantic and eventful history, and feasting the eyes on the splendid paintings of artists who throw over defects the glamour of their genius. Under the blighting band ot the Saracens, thp glory has departed from Israel, and we must look to the past In order to realise Whittier's exquisite stanxa: "Blest land of Judeafc, thrlee-hallowed Of When the holiest of memories pilgrim-like ih rone. •Neath the shade or thy palms, by the shores of thy On the hills ofthj beauty, my heart is with the®."

LETTER FROM NEW YORK. |"rff

THB OBSERVATIONS OF A TERRE HAUTE MERCHANT.

INTERESTING TO THE LADIES.

NEW YORK, APRIL 2,1877.

Bditor 8aturday Kvcning Mail Believing that your lady readers will be somewhat interested in some hints with reference to the present stste of the dry goods market, I will endeavor, very briefly, to give them a few Items in that connection. —N SILKS. J*2,\

There Is at this time something like a panic in the silk market, and a very serious break in prices has taken place, and I am informed that Lyons silks to dsy sell 15 per ct. lower than their original oost. It h^aooounted for in this way: When, a little over six months sgo the price of n*w silk advanced heavily Id Europe and China, there followed a corresponding, rise in manufactured silks, until the advance reSched 25 to 40 per ct. The consequence was a heavy falling off in consumption, and in a short time the market was overstocked with manufactured silks, snd as supply and demand govern the price, there has been a serious decline in values of manufactured silks, and now prices are lower than they were previous to the late rise, although raw silk remains at nearly the highest point. The surplus, amounting In the aggregate to many thousand pi9ces, must be disposed of at whatever it will bring, and Within the past three weeks more than twenty thousand pieces of the choicest Lyons silks, including Antoine Guinet's. and other equally celebrated makes had to be slaughtered under the hammer at' an appalling sacrifice. Just as soon as the surplus stock is disposed of, there will undoubtedly be a reaction and much higher prices must prevsil.

DRESS GOODS.

There is an unusually full supply of novelties in dress materials, and the ladies will experience no difficulty in making selections. One of the striking characteristics of this season is the great contrast between the extreme light and extreme dark shades. For instance the brightest yellow, the lightest blue, pink, pearl and dove colors are equally fashionable with the sombre myrtle green, navy blue and seal brown, while black is as desirable as all the other Bhades together. It will thus be seen that extremes meet this season as far as colors are conoerned. f^ I JiV

As to materials most in vogue, I will name a few of the most prominent. The principal novelty of the season seems to be the matalasse or basket pattern, which can be had in a variety of designs and colorings. The striped matalasse is also new, and will be much worn. Gray silk and wool valencias and all wool cashmere de bege are much in favor and may be found in a variety of qualities. Biaek and colored cashmeres are more popular than ever before, and will be used very extensively. Black grenadines in plain stripes, checks and other designs will come in for a large share of popularity. There are other styles, but I must not trespass on your columns by further details.

PRICES.

It would oertainly seem as if at last priftes.of goods had touched bottom and n«n go no lower. The truth is that at thia time pretty much everything in the dry goods line—silks, cottons, woolens, linens—everything is selling at a nett loss to the manufacturer and importer, and should there be anything like a revival in business, there will surely be quite an advance, meantime purchasers reap the benefit resulting from the prostration of trade, and in the not-very consoling words of the winning gambler to the loser, "what is your loss is my gain, sir I" they can a idress themselves with equal propriety to the poor manufacturer and dlsoouraged importer.

Very Truly Yours,

Vf J. F. JAURIET.

FASHION CAPRICES. [N. Y. Dispatch.]

EIf

Fashion has long been famous for her caprices, her fantastic folliei, her vulgar absurdities, in the attempt to achieve ostentatious singularity—but when did she ever indulge In such a freak as now In her attempt to force upon ladies the ridiculous "sheath dress f" Look at the few who have yet dared to venture out in it, and we mast indulge in scornful mirth, dampened by the humiliating consciousness that some members of our sex are willing to make such dowdy guys of themselves. First a slender girl goes by bony, high-shouldered, waist looking like a small log of wood cased round by a corset. Instead of robes loosely flowing," "motions light and free," and "step of virgin liberty," she calls to miDd a pair of tongs wrapped and pinned about in a bit of cloth whioh has a ruffle on the bottom and

What lavish and disgusting display she makes of her redundant person, not only violating modesty, but also outraging the laws of beautt! But she says she "must follow the fashion." Let fashion give ns a style becoming alike to thin and •tout—a dress beautifully trimmed and lost foil enough to flow gracefully oat at the back while remaining flat and dose at the front and sides,
