Enterprise. J. F. niCKKTT, MW. THURSDAY, : : FEB. 26, I(*s Th® West Virginia legislature on the Htb -inst elected Allen T. Caper Ton to the United States senate. Politically, Caperton is a democrat. •ui i — A bill has passed the house and is now pending in the senate reducing the number of persons composing grand juries, from twelve to seven. Business is being rapidly poshed through by congress. The army bill was passed by the house a few days since, and the senate has passed the Indian bill. The lower house of the Indiana legislature has passed a bill reducing the per diem of its members from $8 to $6 and compelling them to furnish their own stationary. It is considered probable that Capt. Eads’ jetty system for keeping open the mouth of the Mississippi river for the 1 passage of ocean steamers, will be favorably acted upon by congress at its present session. The Minnesota legislature on Friday last succeeded in electing Chief Justice McMillan as United States senator. McMillan is a republican, and has been judge of the supreme court of the state for a number of years. Gen. Jackson received twenty-six Votes in the West Virginia legislature for United States senator. The Tennessee legislature succeeded in resurrecting Andy Johnson, and now the legislature of West Virginia is endeavoring to materialize the spirit of “ Old llickory.” John Mitchell, the Irish patriot who was sentenced to serve a term of years in Van Deiman’s Land, but who escaped years ago and returned to Ireland, has been elected to the British * parliament from Tipperary. Ireland. It is thought that he will not be admitted to a seat in that body. Under the new legislative apportionment bill now before the legislature of this state, Kosciusko and Whitley coun- . ties Would jointly elect a state senator, and of representatives this county would be entitled to one, as now, while Kosciusko, Wabash and Huntington would elect a joint representative, x It is very important to know that under the tariff bill all checks on banks, . or any paj<er on which money is paid at bank, either time or demand, must be stanqHxl and the stamp cancelled with Initials and date. A fine of SSO is the penalty for each offense, and it applies alike to the drawer and the bank. Hon. Godlove S. Orth, member of congress at large from Indiana, has been tendered the Austrian mission by the president His name will be sent to the senate on the 4tli of March, and if confirmed, be will leave immediately for the Austrian capital. He is now chairman of the bouse committee on foreign affairs. The Ligonier Banner, one of the ablest democratic papers in the northern part of the state, has this to say of our present legislature: J ust now, it would seem that our present legislature is not likely to win golden laurels. There are mutterings of discontent in moot every quarter of the commonwealth. Perhaps public sentiment may become more favorable when our legislative solons shall have finished their arduous labors. At least we so hope. By a telegram to tlje Chicago luterOcean, we learn that a new railroad, running from South Bend to Plymouth, Marshall county, is in contemplation. Great interest is felt in the matter by the citizens of South Bend, and It is ... more than probable that the road will be built. The distance is twenty-three miles, and one prominent and wealthy citizen offers to secure one-sixth of the right of way and pay one-sixth of the cost of constructing the road bed. An exchange says: “The quibbling and pettifogging of the lawyers in the Beecher-Tilton trial, on unimportant matters is contemptible as well as tiresome. It reminds us of that long and heated discussion once between two attorney as to whether a witness should ba allowed to answer the following question: “What did Mary sayF* Three judges took near an hour to decide the point, and at last allowed it The question was put to the witness by the defense, and the reply was short and sweet—" Not a word." The reform movement of the last campaign resulted tn the election of many new members to the legislature of Indiana, and as they were highly eulogized as not being professed politicians. but men to whom the people could reasonably look for just such legislation as the Interests of the people of the state demand, yet after careful observation of the doings of that body during the present session, those, svciit | who were most instrumental in securing the success of the reform movement, are condemning the acts of the legislature, as will be seen by the extracts we have made from lending democratic papers in various portions of the state. And the Chicago Fta-s, of a recent date, in spesHug of the Indiana legislature, says: •The incompetency of four-fifths of tlurinembers of the house to legislate for the people of Indiana is daily becoming moreapparent Should a tenth part of the bills be passed which have been inSw holding daily meetings to avert if pomWw It is due t*lo smntT- however, to say that legm tetton of th is ehaacter cannot secure

in unmu wa*. Months ago almost all the railroad kings of the United States met in council at Saratogo, New York, and a combination was formed at that meeting by which the charges for freight and passenger transportation could be maintained at certain stated and somewhat exorbitant rates, and the combination was so extensive and embraced so many of the leading roads of the country, that it was considered by the men engaging in it that the roads which held aloof could be compelled eventually to submit to the rates agreed upon in Council, and become members of the combination. Sul (sequent events have since demonstrated the fact that the members of that combination had overestimated the power of the roads under their control, while they had at the same time under-rated the ability of some of the roads that refused to acquiesce in the doings Os that convention. Qur own Baltimore & Ohio road, one of the giant railroad corjiorations of the United States, steadily refused to enter the combination or be governed by the rates then and there established, but instead, adopted a scale of priced of its own which were much below the rates of the Saratoga combination. By the completion of its western division to Chicago, it was enabled to successfully compete with the other roads for the transportation to the seaboard of the products of the grain fields of the West, anil its superior facilities at Baltimore for transferring grain from the cars to vessels loading for foreign countries were such that it was evident that a large portion of the grain shipped from Chicago would find its way to the seaboard over this great thoroughfare. Every obstacle imaginable was thrown in the war of the business of 3 the Baltimore A Ohio road, but without avail, when, as time elapsed, it became evident that the Saratoga combination could not long be held together. One by one the roads began to deviate from the rates established, until ■ finally all were bidding for the trade of the Wert at such rates as they could secure. Thus by the action of the Baltimore road in withstanding the demands of the other roads in regard to rates, are the farmers of the Wert indebted to low rates of transportation to the East Smarting from the effects of their inglorious defeat, it is hot strange that every opportunity would be embraced by the defeated roads to cripple the business of their powerful rival, and it surprises no one that the war has broken out afresh; this time between the Baltimore A Ohio, and the Pensylvania Central under the management of Col. Tom Scott, the great railroad king of the East. The war between the two roads was inaugurated by the Pensylvania Central refusing to permit the freight cars of the Baltimore A Ohio road to pass over their lines from Philadelphia and other points, to the East, and a reduction of freights from the West to the East was one of the retaliative measures adopted by the contending companies. In the hope of satisfactorily settling thetroubles, president Garrett, of the Baltimore road sent a long dispatch to Col. Scott of the Pennsylvania Central, protesting against the unjust measures adopted by the Central managers, and in reply received an insulting letter in which Scott accused him of “demagogueisui" and used other language which was in no iway calculated to restore harmonious and peaceful relations between the two great corporation. All hopes of an amicable adjustment of the have l«een al>andoned by the managers of the two roads, and it is more than probable that a trial of strength will now be made between the two companies which may result disastrously to one or the other, if not to both of these companies. Other think lines will beas seriously involved, perhaps, and no one can easly predict the final result of the war now being waged. While it continues, however, the W'est will enjoy the benefits of cheap trans)>ortation. Already freight charges have been reduced from Chicago to Baltimore, to twenty cents and even to fifteen;) enta on the hundred pounds, and passenger rates between the same points have been reduced from sl9 to $lO. The charges from St Louis to the seaboard have l>een reduced from $23 to sls. The conflict deepens, and the end is not yet We have no desire whatever to whitewash the wrong doings of congress, oj to palliate the-offenses of individual members, but the following from the Imltarte CAamricie is su manifestly just that we give it a place in our columns. The (Aronie/e says: Speaking of the Pacific Mail business the Ligonier Banner says, “money seems to have been spent with amazing freedom and profligacy to influence members of congress. lobbyists, and representatives of the press." And then it gives the list as furnished by the witnesses Abert and Irwin. After designating members of congress foremost of those who received the money, a person unacquainted with the facts, would naturally look for the names of quite a number of members in the list given, but on reading it carefully through, he would discover that while there were quite a number of " lobbyists." and several “representatives of the press” in the list, there was Dot a Dian who was at the time a “member of congress/’ Why then is this persfttent effort to fasten guilt on congress without one particle of proof to sustain it? On the testimony now adduced there was never an intelligent jury on the face ot the earth that Would not, without leaving their seats, bring in a verdict of • not guilty" as regards congress and yet many newspapers seem to take especial delight in dragging congress through the mire. We are unable to comprehend wherein lies the pleasure of it If the charge were tree, or if ’ there were say proof to raise even a suspicion, then it might be done as a duty ; but as it is, it is done for the pleasure of it!

A fire broke out in the city of Port au Prince, Hayti, on the evening of the 11th inst, and before it could be arrested had destroyed more than half the city. The buildings were mostly of wood, and burned rapidly. The loss is not less than $2,000,000, and "00 families are rendered homeless. The fire originated from the explosion of a barrel of kerosene. In reference to the law now in force in regard to the office of county superintendent of schqpls, the following from the Wabash Plain Dealer expresses our views on this subject so fully that we give it a place itfour columns: This law does not cost one hundred and twenty thousand dollars more than the ohi one did, nor any where near half of it, but the advantage of the law is found in the fact that when it is executed as the author of it intended, it secures to all our schools alike the improvements and advancement made by the moat distinguished educators in all parts of the eountry: it secures uniformity of method in our schools, and under it, ultimately, that method will be the best one, if the Vandal hand can be kept off long enough to admit of its being thoroughly understood, and to enable us to get rid of the ignorant and ineflicieni officers who have in some instances, as was inevitable, obtained possession under it. The fact is, no feature radically new in the school system, can be made to exhibit all its best point* at the very beginning. Thereis a disposition Ln our law makers to treat the friction of a new machine as though it were a defeat in its construction. We say to them let this law alone for two years more, and by that time we shall be able to determine whether its failures are inherent or the mult of improper execution. If the law was an experiment, it was one recommended by one of the beet superintendents of public instruction the state ever had. and it is folly to condemn it until the experiment has had time to be honestly and fairly tried. The Indianapolis correspondent of the Kendallville Standard ha* this to say about the old state house at the capital: The chances are all against any legislation looking to the immediate building of a new state house, but the possibility of doing something in that direction has already developed a number of healthy rings, organized on the Tammanv scale. The various architects who have submitted plans, are quarreling like cats and dogs, and when there’s a fall-out. information exudes which is interesting for the .people to know. The largest and most dangerous of these rings has its center at Terre Haute, and is said to be managed by men high in position. A new state house is needed ludly, but it would be better to do without one through all eternity than let the state be plundered of millions by robber rings. But ’ the present building will have to be vacated soon, or else there will be a fearful catastrophe. Some years ago the dome caved in, and cracks indicative of another cave have made their appearance. Braidesjttasaidthatthebuilding is settling at the northeast corner, and will soon become unsafe. Even now, ev«y time the wind blows, many of thetimorous members seize their hatsand rush out, "to see a man." Trarhattleof Beuna Vista was fought fort yws y

A residence and hotel in Ontario, Lagrange county, belonging to Mr. Charles Miller, was destroyed by fire on the 12th inst The loss is about $2,000. A frame house belonging to Emmett W. Waltman, in York Tpu, Noble Co, was destroyed by fire together with its contents a few days since. Loss S6OO, with no insurance. I The Rome City correspondent of the Ligonier Banner is agitating the subject of having another survey of the Canada Southern road on the Rome City-Ligonier route. It is said that Davenport A Beardsley will erect another paper mill at Elkhart the coming season. They have already purchased 250.000 brick to be used in its construction. The shops of Moon & Co, Lagrange, were totally destroyed by fire on the evening of the 12th inst The total loss is about $5,000, and there was no insurance. How the fire originated is not known. It’s John Ross, of Noble county, who is missing this time. Mr. Roes was married some time ago, and has been missing since last November. His wife can give s no account of the causes of his i sudden disappearance, and foul play Is hinted at. A poplar tree was felled near Kendallville which, according to the Btandard't account made five logs twelve feet long, and two ten feet. It measured five feet across the butt and the log next to the limbs measured three feet in diameter. , » The Kendallville Standard says that it is informed that a coal house is to be erected by the M. S. A L. S. railroad company to take the place of the wood sheds recently burned in that city, and that a comfortable depot is also to be erected during the coming summer. Mr. L. Diller, of Noble county, is the happy possessor of an artesian well. In sinking a well for his saw mill he struck a vein at a depth of forty feet which throws a large stream of water about twenty feet above the surface. It discharges from 1000 to 2000 barrels per day. The Ligonier Bonner says: - “The high winds during this month and the extreme cold weather have bad an injurious effect uj»on the wheat crop on prairie lands. At some places the ground is bare and the wheat blown out of root, while other portions of it are buried under drifts of sand and snow so deep that it will never be resurrected. While at Indianapolis, last week we had the honor of looking in on both houses of the legislat lire. It makes one feel his utter and complete nothingness to staled in the presence of the state’s law-givers. after all. they are rather genial and social, and after a short acquaintance, apj>ear ven* much as other men. By invitation of Representative McMichael, we occupied a seat inside the bar of the house, and had a favorable position for watching the working of the machinery - which grinds out the laws by which the people are goVemetl. The legislature seems anxious to make a good record on all questions of economy and reform, except such as effect their own per diem. On Friday, while we were present, one representative, Shaw, sought to immortalize himself by the introduction of a resolution to the effect that members should not draw pay for the time they might be absent from their duties. When the vote was taken three or four feeble Ts responded: but when the noer were called —well, such a volume as rolled up through the dome of the caje itol, shook the war relicts in the library, and the geological specimens in the sericultural room, causing the plastering to fall from the rotten sides of the old rookery called a state house, —was probably never before heard in state. She mover of the resolution slid down under his desk, and has mot dared to make a move since. Those legislators are a jolly set. and stand ready to cut down other folks’salaries, in order that their pledgee of retrenchment and reform maybe redeemed. But it is safe to say that their finances will not be seriously impaired by any very great reduction of their own salaries.—Plymouth Democrat. The amended assessment law, which has passed both branches of the Indiana legislature and been approved by the governor, contains the following provisions, according to the Ligonier Banner: e * The amendments provide for Hie immediate abolishment of the office of county assessor and the appointment by the county commissioners at the March term of township assessors. These, in turn, are authorized to appoint deputies should such become necessary. The assessment is to be made between the first days of A ppi and June. Compensation, two dollars per day. By request of the State Board of Agriculture the statistical schedule is to be stricken out, that feature being deemed of no value and the collecting the same being equal to tnxt of making the assessment That paper is dissatisfied with the bill because it abolishes the office of county assessor at once. The Rochester Sentinel, in a recent issue, charged Geo. R. Bears*. Joint representative for Kosciusko and Fulton counties with having • ahsqatulated" and taken with him $30,000 drawn from the pork trade. It solicited the following reply from Mr. Bears* : Indianapolis. Feb. $, 1875. A. T. Bitters. Esq.: Dear.
