Safe Either Way.
Judge Blair, of the Superior Court, decided on Tuesday that the State Treasurers could not be made to account for the profits they derived from the loans of deposits in public money, because the act of 1861 made such acts criminal, and a criminal act could not be made the basis of a civil suit. The penalty of the act of 1861 overbore the provision for an account of profits in the act of 1859, and substituted a. criminal prosecution for a civil recovery. This is the effect of his ruling, if we are able to penetrate the mystery of it. There could be no recovery because the law had been violated to obtain that of which recovery was sought. On Thursday, in the case of exAuditor McCarty, he rules that recovery could not be claimed by the State of profits made of the School Fund mone.y by the Auditor, because he lias not violated the law in making them. If he had fulfilled all the requirements of the acts relating to the fund the State could demand nothing more. Thus the Treasurers are protected from recovery by their violation of the laws aud the Auditors by their observance of the law, a sort of "heads I win, tails you lose" operation that will probably put the next Legislature, uuless it is as foolish as the last one on the scent of some system that can be warranted at least not to work backwards as easily as it does forwards, and against the State both ways. Undoubtedly the State should get all the money made of her funds, and her officers should be forced to content themselves, as most officials do, with a salary, but undoubtedly she can't do it as the law is now. We do not question the soundness of Judge Blair's argument. We can see that the civil recovery of the act of 1859, relating to Treasurers, is superseded by the criminal penalty of 1861. The Legislature may not have meant to do it, but they did do it, and gave the State the equivalent of the civil recovery in & fine of double the amount used in violation of law. And we can see, too, that the Auditor, having done all that the law requires of hitft either in express terms or by necessary implication, is free of his bond and of furtherdemands. We urged the same point as a release of his sureties when the suits were first instituted. But we confess to a little bewilderment at seeing an infraction of the law and an execution of the law landing two officers in exactly the same place, entire immunity from recovery of the money they may have made by a private use of the State's funds.
Judge Blair holds that the common law doctrine of the right of a trust to all the profits made of or by it, is not applicable to the case of a State officer, who is not a common law trustee, but a creation of the statute, and charged only with the duties which the statutes put upon him. No implication, not necessarily involved in the terms of the statute, will suffice to make or change his duties. His bond is a contract to do these and no more. The act of 1861, authorizing the deposit of interest of Sinking Fund loans, by the Board of Commissioners, is not only not imperative, but it does not apply to the Auditor, whose duties," defined by the act of 1865 transferring the Sinking Fund to him and ky the act of 1867, do not include the deposit of interest. They keep in force only such former acts as relate to^outstanding loans and mortgages held by the Fund, and not to the use of the income, except when it amounts to $4,000 when it is to be invested in State's stocks by him and the Secretary and Treasurer. Moreover the Auditor is not the Trustee of the Fund. The constitution makes the State the Trustee, and the Auditor is merely an agent to carry out the directions of the Legislature. Whatever construction of the rights of the cestui qui trust" may be urged against the Actual trustee of the State, nothing can affect the agent, the Auditor, but the plain requirements of the law. Those requirements, it is not alleged have been neglected or violated, and consequently the State has no sufficient cause of action. This, as we understand it, is the Judge's argument, and as puzzlingly as it faces the eftect of the argument in the Treasurer's case, we cau not see that it can be overthrown. It will at least teach the Legislature to look a little closer to its proper work hereafter, and not so closely to party projects. If the last Legislature had done so, the distribution act would not have got through by Democratic pressure and Republican help, and a better one could have been saved which no court could have enjoined.—Indianapolis Netos.
THE passage by the Lower House of the Illinois Legislature of a resolution favoring application of the one-term principle to the Presidential office is significant not 8p much, perhaps, of dissatisfaction with the present Administration, as of the growing conviction that the tempta tion to employ the patronage and power of the Executive to one's re-election, is too strong to be resisted by any man.

The Committee of the Assembly, to which was delivered for consideration the proposal recently before the Assembly for instituting a plebicitum order to ascertain the wishes of the nation, relative to a future form of Government, has delivered its report. The Committee rejects the proposal for a plebicitum, and considers that the Assembly has the right to make a constitution for the country.
LONDON, January 8.—The Times this morning contains an editorial on the Alabama claims, headed "Unfriendliness to Great Britain." It is a most distorted version of the events.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—In the Senate this morning, Mr. Schurz made a personal explanation denying every statement made in the New York Times of Dec. 21, concerning him. He said that there were systematic attempts made by the Administration organs on Senators who were ferreting out frauds, and it only proved that the Administration was.responsible for them. He stated that he intended to go on in his exposures regardless of these assaults.
He thought the Administration was very unwise in selecting the Times as an organ. It was one of the most remarkable cases of systematic misrepresentation and lameness lying that ever disgraced American journalism.
The Postoffice Department has agreed to address a circular to postmasters requiring them to receive mutilated currency under the new regulations for payment for postage stamps and stamped envelopes on the same terms that it is received by the officers of the Treasury Department at its full value when not more than two-fifths of its original proportions are missing.

houses having a quorum. After a brief address by the Lieutenant-Governor the Senate adjourned, as did the House shortlv. The nominations made give no decided indication ou the Senatorial question, though the friends of Harlan feel good over some of the most important nominations. The opponents of Harlan have been in better spirits to-day, claiming gains. The Harlan men, however, remain confident of success. Wilson's name is now frequently mentioned, and an effort is being made to bring him to the front. It looked for awhile as if a break would be made in that direction. It is now claimed that this move has been checked.
STREATOR, III., Jan. 9.—This morning a fearful accident happened at this place. Two laboring mea, respectively named Samuel Higginbotham and Jas. Tennessy were sent into a shaft in one of the Vermillion Coal Company's mines, at about 4 o'clock A. M. They had scarcely reached their destination in the mine when a violent explosion occurred. As soon as possible assistance was sent to them, and the men were found blown almost to pieces. The cause being the explosion of the gas in the mines coming in contact with their light.
Higginbotham leaves a family consisting of a wife and oue child, and lived here. Fennessy, it is agitated, had a family of a wife and four children, and lived at Ottawa. The men killed were employed in boiling out water in certain portions of the mine, and from the fact that their bodies were found in a part of which they were forbidden to enter by the company, because of the supposed presence of the fire damp, their deaths would seem to be result of their disobe* dience of orders.
MADISON, WIS., Jan. 9.—Hon. J. B. Quigby, Senator elect from Sank county, a few miles west of this place,, met with an accident on Friday night last, which, at first was feared would prove fatal. At a late hour he was preparing to retire to bed and blew out the light down stairs, and in the darkness mistook the stairway opening of the cellar door instead of that up stairs. He fell headlong down stairs, striking on the hard rocks of the cellar floor, receiving serious bruises on his face and wrenching his wrist badly. His brain received such a concussion that a fatal result was at first feared.

CONGRESSIONAL.

SENATE.
Senator Schurz made lengthy remarks defending himself and Senator Trumbull against certain editorial criticisms of the New York Times, the official organ of the Administration. He closed his eloquent remarks as follows:
Now, sir, why are these slanders heaped upon me? The Times jtself states the reason. Because, it alleges, I have not hesitated to give vent to the most outrageous calurnuies against President Grant, having accused him of usurpation by keeping up the general order system in New York for his own profit. I pronounce this another falsehood. What do they call slandering the President Let us see what I did say, whether it can be construed as a slander. I did state that the general order business of New York was a great abuse and a system of plunder, ana I was loroe out in that statement by the report of the Retrenchment Committee. Was that a slander on the President? I did state that the merchants of New York protested against it as an outrageous abuse, which it is a matter of record also. Was that a slander against the President I did state that the Secretary of Treasury sent a Commissioner to New York to investigate the matter, and that that Commissioner reported against it, which is a matter of reoord again. Was that a slander against the President? I did state that the Retrenchment Committee investigated the matter and found it to be a great abuse, and reported in favor of its abolition, which is a matter of record
again. Is that a slander upon the Proficient? I did state, further, that the Secretary of the Treasury had written to the Collector of 2\e\v York two letters, pronouncing against the abuse and urging that it be done away with. This is a matter of record again.* Is that a slander upon the President? Then I draw the conclusion. I ask whether there is any member of this body who will say that it was not a most natural nay, most "imperative conclusion that, in spite of the remonstrance of merchants of New York, in spite of the reportof the investigating committee, in spite of letters of pronounced opinions to the Secretary of the Treasury that the abuse was still kept up and if it was actually kept up, then there must be a power stronger than a decent respect for public opinion, stronger than the Secretary himself, to sustain it, for if that power was not stronger than a decent respect for public opinion the abuse would have succumbed to the remonstrances of the mercantile men of New York if that power had not been stronger than the Secretary, the abuse would have succumbed to the adverse opinion of that official. I asked the question, "Who and where is that stronger power I asked the question, but I did not answer it. I respectfully submit that to the gentlemen who indulge in the pitable business of villifying the Senator from Illinois and myself tor asking. Have they not, by these slanders, furnished an answer to it that will be satisfying to the country believe that when nothing else can be brought up against those who denounce the abuses of the government, than personal villitication, the country will understand. Sir, I have shown you the character of the statements contained in the Times. As to the character of those who have invented and propagated them in the Senate, the intelligent people may form their opinion themselves. I will simply add that after this 1 shall not again consider it necessary to take notice of such slander. The Times and its coadjutors will have free field, but if attacks should come as this, like locusts, they will not frighten me away from that course which I conscientiously believe to bo the course of honor, truth, right and duty.
After the transaction of some important business the Senate went into executive session, aud soon afterward adjourned. The House transacted no business of general interest.
From the Nashville Banner, Dec. 24th. How a Kentucky Girl Managed an Elopement.
A rather romantic runaway affair occurred at Franklin, Ky., early Friday moruing. The father of a certain young lady of that place had refused to give his cousent to her marriage, and had treated her lover with great harshness, on account, it is alleged, of his being poor. But though love does not, in most instances, run particularly smooth, nothing can prevent two happy hearts from uniting their destinies for better or for worse, when ever the owners so resolve. To make our story brief, a plan was concocted by which the pair were to run down to Mitchellville, just this aide of the Slate line, where arrangements had bten made the day previous with a magistrate to perform the cerem »ny. The fond couple appeared at the depot at Franklin shortly after five o'clock on the moruing mentioned. It having been suggested by some unfeeling wag, that they might possibly be overtaken by her irate father, aud their blissful hopes blasted at the very moment of realization the bridegroom became considerably demoralized, but was soon reassured by his pluckier companion, who coolly remarked: "I don't see how he can I really don't. He lives three miles from here, and if he comes he will have to walk. He can't make the distance afoot before the arrival and departure of the train. I foresaw the danger of such a denouement last night, and made my arrangements accordingly. I went to the stables, hid all the bridles, locked the doors, and threw the key away. When I left home this morning, mother and father were asleep. I quietly turned the key upon them and threw it away too." It need hardly be said that her explanation was highly satisfactory. The train rolled in at 5:57, the lovers jumped aboard, and were married at 6:20 at Mitchellville, on the arrival of the train at that place. That girl was certainly worth the trouble of winning, but we have a notion that if her husband tries to kick out of the matrimonial traces the keys will .be turned on him, too, some of these days.
From the New Orleans Picayune Dec. 24. GOT. Warmoth Pays for His War-Horse An old claim, arisiugfrom the war, was settled yesterday in a somewhat unusual manner. While au officer in the army, nearly ten years ago, Gov. Warmoth was passing the house, and saw grazing in the yard a very beautiful horse. As "impressiment" on such occasions were allowable in the service,he appropriated the animal to his own use, aud rode it during his stay in the army. When he quit the service the horse was turned over to the Quartermaster. But the Governor says his conscience always reproaehed him for the act, and a year age he caused inquiries to be set on foot which resulted in ascertaining the name of the owner of the horse and his present residence. A correspondence was commenced, the Governor frankly acknowledging that he was the culprit, and expressing a desire to pay for the animal. Several letters passed, and finally a price was agreed upon, and yesterday the Governor forwarded to Mr. Friedland a check for $300, that amount being considered an equivalent for his war charger.
From the Bangor Whig, Dec. 23,
A Maine Farmer who Wasn't to be Fooled. The agent in this city of one of the insurance companies forced into liquidation by the Chicago fire issued circulars to persons having property insured in the company of his agency, requesting them to return their policies to be cancelled and used as claims in the settling up of affairs. In response to the call, a farmer from a neighboring county entered the agent's office the other day in search of information. The agent explained at some length, but the old fellow couldn't understand, and a second and a third explanation were equally futile in aiding his dull comprehension. The man of policies was going back to commence again, when the farmer arose, buttoned up his coat, and said: "Look a-here mister, I don't kuow nothin' about your thuuderin' likerdashuu, an' I dou't want ter. I don't believe ther's been a fire, and what's more, I believe the whole thing's a sell. I paid nigh onter twenty dollars for this here policy, an' I'm a goin' ter keep it! Yer can't fool me!" And after delivering himself thus, he stalked away indignant.
LET HER CRY—A farme'r near Nashua, N. H., recently bargained his farm to another farmer for $2,000, but when the day and the purchaser arrived, he informed him that his wife was in hysterics about the trade, and he guessed he would back out. "But," said the purchaser, "I have come a long distance, want the farm and must have it. How much more would induce you to sell?" "Well," replied the agriculturist, "give me $250 more and let her cry."

HAIR VISOR.
AYEB'S
HAIR VIGOR,
For the Renovation of the Hair!
The Great Desideratum of the Age! A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Paded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color and the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thick-' ened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands trophied or decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from falling off and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and" injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a
HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
