Editorial Notes.

The State printing is the subject of a painful degree of silence, on the part of the Indianapolis political hand organs.

The cheerful tones of a cow-bell and the nerve-soothing howls of a terrified terrier, drown out the squeaking of the well-worn shears of the JjaFayette Journal's city man, and yet he is not grateful and generous enough to acknowledge it, only in denunciation.

mathematical member of the State Senate, yesterday offered a petition from Vanderburg county, which he claimed to be 92 feet long, opposing the temperance bill. But another member went him three better, by stating that a remonstrance from the same quarter was ready to offer which was 95 feet long, favoring the temperance bill.

radically Republican cotemporary triumphantly asserts Samuel J. Bayard, one of the high priests of Straight-Out Democracy, has publicly announced his allegiance to the Republican party.

Who doubted his allegiance to the Republican party all through the campaign when he entered the Blanton Duncan side show as a clown

When the proposition to negotiate for the construction of a new State House for Indiana came up in the Senate, yesterday, a member strenuously objected ou the ground that an asylum for the incurably insane was much more of a necessity. He had an eye to a haven of rest when his mighty intellect shall have been shattered by the cares of State

Farnsworth's bill providing for the prepayment of postage on newspapers.passed the House yesterday, after having been slightly amended. The Postmaster General is to decide how prepayment shall be made whether in bulk or by the stamping of each paper. For newspapers with a large weekly circulation outside of the county where printed, it will be a great convenience to pay postage in bulk, for they would have to employ a large extra force If stamping were required.

that fixes the fare on the Central Railroad at three cents per mile, and we believe it also applies to all the railroads in the State. On the 10th inst. a party entered the cars of the Central line at Rantoul, bound for Champaign City. Each member, by a previously arranged plan, tendered the conductor the legal fare instead of that charged by the company. The conductor, doubtless obeying orders, refused to receive it, and left the car containing the party standing on aside track. While the GAZETTE does not approve'of the act of the party, it would respectfully suggest that if the law is not to be enforced, it had better be repealed.

The history of the world furnishes no parallel to the rise and fall and rapid resurrection of the city of Chicago. Built from the marshes to a metropolis of magnificent proportions in .less than a quarter of a century despoiled of its glory in a night, a little more than a year afterwards it has arisen from its ashes greater than before. On the site of the bleak ruins of last winter, now appear solid structures of iron marble and glass, structures that fill the beholder with an admiration of energy and perseverence, felt so keenly on no other occasion in a lifetime. Such were the feelings Qfone who, yesterday, looked upon the mighty city for the first time since the "great fire," to which ever patriotic Chicagoan alludes as an epoch, marking a period in life never to be forgotten. Newspaper growth, showing more conclusively than anything else, the prosperity of a city, we allude to those of Chicago as not being excelled by any others on the continent. The perishable material of those then existing was all destroyed by the fire, yet they have not only reappeared, more newsy and abler than ever, but there has been raised from the dead, as it were, one that has already taken a bold stand in the very first ranks of journalism. We allude to the Inter-Ocean, which was established on the ruius of the defunct Republican, and is not now excelled by any of its neighbors. Through the courtesy of Mr. E. W. Halford, managing editor, we were shown through the entire establishment, situated on Congress street, near the lake, and opposite the Tremont House. A corps of twenty-two editors and reporters is employed in the various departments. Their copy is put in type by a force pf forty compositors. The paper is printed on an eight cylinder Hoe press, and-each copy is folded and mailed by machinery of the latest pattern. The gifted "Globules," late of the St. Louis Globe, is one of the editors, having charge of the news department. Others, of like brilliant talent and ripe experience, writes in their proper place and then submits copy to Mr. Halford, whose watchful eye scans and supervises everything in this department. Wm. Penn Nixon has the responsibility of the publishing department has his hands full,jand yet knows how to use them to the best advantage. Each edition is circulated throughout the Continent, a mighty monument, so to speak, of the prosperity of the new Chicago.

Gossip for the Ladies.

Women are said to be angels just two months—a month before marriage, and for thirty days after death. "Grace Greenwood" relieves one of her letters by the remark: "A little marriage is a dangerous thing."

The lady who is followed by a train of admirers need not be qgtonished at re marks on the bustle behind her.

A California advertisement reads "Do you love your wife aud children Then use Huggin's stove polish."

Since ladies have taken to using new3 papers for bustles, publishers complain that their patrons are more in arrears than before.

Somebody suggests that a lady, on putting on her corsets, is like a man who drinks to drown his gwef because in so lacing herself, she is getting tight.

A bandbox containing a lady's hat with velvet trimmings, plume and all was sent lately from Belfast, Me., to Cal ifornia by mail, the postage being eleven cents.

A French girl shot herself to death last week because her lover told her that one of her legs was shorter than the other.

That peculiar dance known as the "Boston" has died a natural death, much to the disappointment of those conceited fellows who had just gotten "the thing down to a nicety."

Five, clergymen, six bridemaids and the same number of groomsmen, were considered absolutely requisite at a re cent high life wedding. Only one bride and bridegroom were used on this occa sion.

Some of our fashionables are abolishing the habit of dispensing wines at evening parties and receptions simply because some of their gent'emen guests in former seasons have made bea9ts of themselves.

The Loudtn Fire Brigade. The annual report of Captain Shaw Chief of the London Fire Brigade, which has just been issued, it a very instructive document. It relates principally to the state of the fire department of London, and to the fires that occurred in that city during 1872. It is a matter for remark that there were 348 fewer fires in London last year than in 1871~, and there bad been a decrease of more than 100 in the last named year. The proportion of serious to light losses is more favorable than ever it has been before—120 to 1,374 —which speaks well for the efficiency of the brigade. Over the number of fires they have little control, and can only act by way of advice. It is the public, of course, which is responsible for the abundance of such disasters. In forty years the number has increased in London from 458 to 1,494. The rate of increment is not all in proportion to the growth of population, but moves very irregularly, with intermittent periods of striking decrease. Nevertheless, there is a decided advance on the whole. It is remarkable that the gain on 1871 and 1872—452—more than covers the loss sustained in 1870, a year noteworthy for the frequency of fires in the English Capital. Captain Shaw notices that, while the population has not quite doubled since 1833, fires have more than trebled. The lesson to be derived from his figures is one that the public shonld take to heart—namely, the expediency of displaying great care in deal iog with their beneficeut servant aud destructive master. i*.

Power of Han to Endure Cold. One who took part in a telegraphic ex pedition in Siberia writes as follows "I didn't believe that it would be possible for me to lie out in the snow, without shelter, in a temperature of even 20° be low zero, but I have done it once in 50° below, and repeatedly in 45°. One of Bush's parties, in February of last year, passed the night on an open steppe, with their spirit thermometer standing 78° below zero, or 100 below the freezing point. Quicksilver they molded into solid bullets with four minutes exposure to the air. It is true they dared not go to sleep that night, but I believe that, had they been properly fitted out with heavy furs and wolfskin sleeping bags to tie over the head, they might have done it with perfect safety. "I'm afraid you would think that I was availing myself of a traveler's privilege, and relating a large yarn, if I told you how comfortably I have slept on

45° below. We are obliged to sleep in fur bags, of course, with our faces entirely covered, to take the utmost care to have our fur stockings perfectly dry but I haye slept in that way through the lone Arctic nights as comfortably as ever I did iu bed at home."

WAKING up in the middle of a cold night and remembering that the front door isn't locked, is one of the horrors of keeping house.

MADRID, Feb. 12.—Notwithstanding the excitement attendant upon the abdication of King Amadeus, yesterday, the city is quiet and the inhabitants are orderly. The Senate has taken prompt measures for the establishment of peace, and has appointed a permanent committee to maintain order. In spite of the present tranquil state of affairs, exciting events are anticipated.

Bands of Carlists continue to harass the Government forces in the Northern Provinces, and the leaders of the insurrectionary movement have begun an active campaign against the royal troops. The insurgents have beseiged Saragossa, blockading the city and capturing a number of the inhabitants. A battle between the Carlists and Government troops is expected.

MADRID, Feb. 12.—The message of Amadeus announcing his abdication deflues the atttiude which he has endeavored to maintain since his accession to the throue, declares that he would not abandon his task if his enemies were foreigners and not Spaniards but he will not beKingof a party nor act illegally.

The Cortes accepted the abdication and appointed a commission to accompany the King to the frontier.

The Assembly by a vote of 256 against 32, passed a motion establishing a Spanish Republic.

Thiers and the Committee of Thirty.

From New York City. NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—A cable dispatch from Rome, received yesterday, an nounces the appointment of the Very Reverend Dr. M. A. Carrigan, as Bishop of Newark, New Jersey, and Wm. H. Gross, a Redemptionist Missionary, as Bishop of Savannah, Georgia. The nominations were confirmed by the Pope on February 2d.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—The ninth anniversary of the Working Women's Protective Union met last night and crowded the Association Hall to hear Miss Faithful lecture. The room was filled at 7:30, but those who came showed respect to the cause, aud the desire to hear Miss Faithful was so great that they pressed till the aisles and galleries were packed, some even sitting on the floor.

The Coroner yesterday held an inquest over the body of John Harrald, the Englishman whp was committed to the Tombs three weeks ago ou a charge of embezzlement. Harrald died yesterday morniug, after a brief illness. An orde~r for his discharge arrived an hour after his death. Harrald was engaged to be married to a young lady, who is now in a critical condition, owing to his arrest, and it is said the charge of embezzlement against him was trumped up

'From Chicago.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.—The supply of loanable funds in this market is increas ing a little, and more persons are accommodated, though the demand is still so much in excess of the supply that the market may be called tight yet, and rates for money in the street can scarcely be quoted lower than last week, though it is easier to negotiate good paper at the same rates. One important feature that promises well for an easier condition of the market soon, is the better supply of cars on the railroads, from here eastward.

The receipts of hogs and cattle here have fallen eft' very largely, as the bulk of the packing is now over and the rolling stock of the railroads can be used to take grain to the Eastern markets.

A determined attempt is to be made to upset the recent decisions in the United States District Court against the stockholders of the Great Western Insurance Company, and in a bill yesterday, filed by George H. Hess, to restrain the assignee from prosecuting further against him, some startling allegations are made. Hess affirms that the paper purportiug to be signed by three-fourths of the stockholders, giving consent to the increase of capital from $500,000 to $5,000,000, is forgerys with the exception of two signatures, and the increase of stock was therefore illegal.

He also shows that it was voted that when 20 per cent, was paid on the stock it should not be liable to further assessment, and he claims that the stockholders are being called upon, for an amount much greater than the liabilities of the company.

He was 23 years old and bore an excellent reputation. The officers found two letters iu Lewis' room, indicating a partial insanity of the writer.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—In the House there is an unusually large attendance to-day. The Cabinet officers are all on the floor, and the galleries are densely crowded waiting for tvie counting of the electoral votes. The Senators arrived at 1 o'clock.

Special dispatch to lhe Chicago Tribune.

Pomeroy Assumes the Perpendicular. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—To the many extraordinary and humiliating spectacles which have been witnessed this winter in Congress, must be added the scene in the Senate to-day, attending Pomeroy's

Sribery

ersonal explanation of the charges of made against him in the late Senatorial election in Kansas. A few months ago, and this Senator strutted around the Senate Chamber with the sublime self-assurance of one who was not only in the majority, but who was a leader of that majority at that time. He talked of his re-election as a foregone conclusion, and alluded to his antagonists in the Senatorial race as a set of scrubs, who have neither character nor reputation, and toward whom he had only the feelings of the loftiest contempt. In the brief space of time above alluded to there has been a wonderful change in events. From one who flourished the whip of partisanship with a heavy hand over the heads of his colleagues, Pomeroy to-day was transformed into an abject beggar for the sympathies of his associates. It was not generally credited that he would appear in the Senate to-day and volunteer his personal explanation. Those who knew him best, set this story down as one of the most improbable, even of this sensational tsession, giving as their view therefor, that Pomeroy was too shrewd and world wise to attempt auy such unprofitable course. As a consequence the galleries were not very well filled, although the Kansas Senator, from his long service, and from his social relations, is one of the best known public men in this city. Shortly after the Senate was called to order, the well known face of Pomeroy was seen peeping over the screen which stands in front of the door to the main entrance of the Senate Chamber. At that early hou'r there were •but few Senators present. Taking some confidence from this fact, Pomeroy ad* vanced from the screen into the main aisle, in broad view of the whole Senate. The first SeuatorS to observe him were Logan and Carpenter. He eagerly stretched out his hand, aud one after another they shook it in the most indifferent manner. Appearing to feel this slight, he then walked down to his seat in the front row, in a manner both hurried and nervous. Arriving there,he hastily seated himself and commenced fumbling in his coat pockets,acting as if he was conscious of the fact that the eyes of all those present sought him out, and were examining his every look and motion with critical interest. For. fifteen minutes he sat in his seat with his eyes cast down, meanwhile nervously stamping the floor with his foot. Then, when the prayer of the Chaplain had been finished, an'djthe reading of the minutes gone through with, and amid a silence,wherein the rustling of a paper, or the falling of a pin caused a nervous shock) he rose, and, with some hesitancy, addressed the Chair. He asked the privilege of making his explanation of an unfortunate affair, wherein he was most deeply interested. He asked it with a penitential air, in marked contrast to the somewhat defiant way in which he has been in the habit of conducting himself in this body. He then went on to deny, in the most positive manner, that he attempted bribery in tbe late election at Topeka, alleging that he was the victim of the foulest conspiracy that had ever been attempted upon an honorable man. As he warmed Up with his argument the heat of his indignation quite equalled, if not excelled, that manifested by Senator Patterson some weeks since, before the Credit Mobelier Committee, wherein the latter protested against high-toned and honorable men being dragged before the public in the capacity of apologists. He finished with tbe request that a special committee to investigate these charges be appointed^ to consist of his political opponents. It cannot be truthfully stated thatjhis defence created either capital or sympathy for him. When he got through he was congratulated by 'Harlan and Patterson, but otherwise the Senate remained stolidly indifferent, both to himself and the defence. Vice President Colfax subsequently appointed Frelinghuyseu, Buckingham, Alcorn, Thurgan and Vickers, as the investigation cooammittee. The time remaittin before the expiration of the session is so short, that it is not anticipated that the committee will have to enter upon, let aloue complete, this inquiry.
