The bills for the admission of Colorado and New Mexico into the Union as states passed the senate a few days since. The custom receipts at the principal cities for.the week ending Feb. 20th, were as follows; New York. 83,280,253; Boston, 8328,175; Philadelphia. 8*225, 764; Baltimore, 8114,468. The Chicago papers of last Friday annouced that ice had broken up on the Mississippi river, and tliat boats would commence running between St Louis and Cairo on that date. SSBMWWSMMWW— ——I—» Allen T.

To-day is the closing day ofthe session of the forty-third congress. The - senate will convene to-morrow in extra Y< session to transact some necessaty business, but it is not probable that an extra session of congress will be called. The Forty-fourth congrt'ps will l»e over-j whelrtiingly democraiic, and the country,, will await With some anxiety to learn what direction legislation will take under democrat ic rule. A mob of considerable proportions threatened the’ peace of Chicago during ' the last week. It was created in con-1 sequence of |he alleged acts of the Relief Societies in the distribution of sup-; plies. Circulars were printed and freely distributed through the city, and •* Ffre la Commune” was heard in many quarters. The military companies were arming and drilling for any emergency. No conflict has as yet taken place. A bill recently passed the lower bouse of the state legislature, giving justices of the peace jurisdiction in all cases not exceeding three hundred dollars, concurrent jurisdiction to six hundred dollars, and l/y concession, to one thousand dollars. If tins should be-; come a law. it would make the office of > justice of the. peace a paying one, and > would render the collection business of - the circuit court a mere bagatelle. The recent fire in Chicago which ; burned over eight acres, and destroyed property to the value of more than [ 8850,000, scarcely created a ripple of excitement in the city, and was merely noted as an item of morning news by the papers of that city. Chicago is so accustomed to doing things on an extensive scale especially in the line of i fires, that any thing short of the de- . / struction of half the city, docs not reach \ the dignity of a “ great conflagration." The general appropriation bill reported to the house aggrogntes After providing for salaries of state officers, it allows the Insane Hospital, 8135,000; Deaf and dumb. 8*17,000; * Blind, 888,000; House of Refuge, 835.-j 000; workshops of the Prison, north J 820,000; school fund bonds, interest,' 8234,000; Normal School, Terre Haute, 832.000; Female Prison, 27,500; Purdue . ?'

O, those im-, maculate reformers! I u ; r- — 1 | The county commissioners met in t regular session at Warsaw on last Monday. Besides the regular routine of ■ business usually transacted at the March session, by the passage of the new assessment law, they will have the adv ditional duty to disc barge of app< >i nting assessors for the various townships of the county. Up to going to press, we have not learned whether the appointments have been made, but we hope the commissioners will exercise good judgment in the selection of the men for the positions, as the assessment of real estate made this spring will stand for the next five years. Let none but good and competent men be appointed, regardless as to what political party they have heretofore belonged Ax effort was recently made in the lower home of the Indiana legislature to change the law in regard to road work in the state. It is not probable that any change will be effected however. The present law has many dewhich should be remedied, as under its workings we can never hope to have the roads in the condition they should be. All axe alike compelled to labor on the public highway, and it is safe to say that not one in twenty perfarm the amount of labor they would, if employed in a different manner. We are not prepared to say just how the law can be changed to meet the wants of the people, yet we think that our catena will do a vise thing when they do away with the old method of road work and enact something that will be beneficial to the public roads ofthe

the err il rights bill agaih . The Warsaw Unionot last week says: A republican paper don’t like the position the Union takes on tbe civil rights bill. It thinks we misconstrue the law. The civil rights bill, it claims, does not contemplate any special privileges for tike black man that he ought not to be' entitled to. That is simply a difference of opinion. No where tan there be found a law vrutectiny tbe white man to the extent that the civil rights bill does the negro. I n several southern cities there are» already numerous suits pending brought by negroes for being refused accommodations at hotels and public, places where their presence was not desirable. It is simply an attempt to force into social equality a race of people not intended by nature or the Creator. The Union, for reasons of its own which are fully understood, fails to give the name of the paper referred toin the above, but as we took some exceptions to the position of that paper on the civil rights bill, it perhaps refers to the Enterprise. It is unnecessary for us to say, as the fact is patent to all, that tbe foundation of our system of government is based upon the-principles of the Declaration of Independence; .embraced in the following quotation from that time honored document; “We hold these truths to be self evident; | that all men are created equal ; that ; they are endowed, by their Creator, ‘ with certain inalienable rights; that ■ among these are life, liberty, aud the ! pursuit of happiness-, that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men. Ac." The Union supported for president of the United States in 18’2, a gentle j man who was a life long advocate of , the principles contained in the civil rights bill, and the platform of its party | in that campaign contained the following clause; “We recognize the equality of all nten before the law and hold that it is the cluty cif the government in its dealings with the people to mete out j eejitafiand eMct justice to all of what- ‘ ever race.nativity,enb/r or ptirsuasion,rvligious or political." There is nothing in the civil rights bill conflicting with the avowed principles ofthe Union in ! 18’2. and it does seem that the posit ions, taken either then or now were assumed * for political effect, as it would be disk rtcult for that paper even, to reconcile lite statements and declarations con- ■ tamed in the article before us with the ' platform upon which it stood in 4873. The civil rights bill grants no privileges to the negro which are not admitted to be the inherent rights of the white race, and its provisions are made “applicable alike to citizens of every ■ race and color.” At to the bugaboo of • “ social equality" upon which the Union ! places so much stress, we have onlyto say that whenever the Union man will admit that he is socially equal with every man he meets in a hotel or street car. or elsewhere, then'will, there be some w eight to this part of his argument. In regard to the intentions of the Creator in h'gartl to the negrd, the Union man will pardon us for not accepting his statements as true unsupported by evidence as they are. Further along in his argument, tire editor of the Union arraigns therepub- < lican party for giving freedom to the negro; for giving him the right of suffrage, and in the Civil rights bill for granting hirn wj»fvta/ We ask the editor of that paper to say .whether he did not advocate the principles of the.Uincinnati platform of 11.872, and those of the platform of the democratic state convention of the' same year. The latter instrument contained something like the following; ; “All the political rights and franchises which have been acquired through the late bloody convulsions, must and sliall lx* guaranteed, maintained, enjoyed, and respected evermore." Why at this day arraign the opposing party for doing that which you solemnly declared must be “maintained" and “respected" evermore? lie certainly musUbe pre*, suming upon the crudulity of his readers, when hesayto that especial privileges are granted to the negro by the civil rights bill which are not enjoyed by the white race under it. Come, now, y>int out the “especial privileges” for your readers, or acknowledge that you did misconstrue the meaning of the bill.Does the Union mean that the negro should be remanded back into slavery ? We conclude that it takes that position from its closing remarks, which are as i follows: The republican party will have to pass still additional laws to convince the American people that the negro rage is either capable to control and manage ■ their own affairs wisely and prudently in a eountrv that is politically, socially, and naturally opposed to them. We favor the principles contained fn the civil rights bill, not from a party stand point, but because we believe they are in harmony with the spirit of free that it is the duty of the strong and powerful race to elevate instead of degrade the weak. “Equal and exact justice to all" is our motto. Henry B. Sayiler will complete his first term on the 4 th' of March. There are few members from any state who have acquired so fine a reputation in so short a time. Major Sayler was placed ou the committee of patents at the opening of this congress, and the action be has taken from the beginning and a speech which he made on the subject, aroused the country to a sense of the grasping monopolies of certain patented inventions. To his watchfulness and opposition more than to the work of anybody, and everybody else is due the nun-extension of the sewing machine patents. He is a good speaker, a elose and logical reasoncr. and is a frank, open-hearted, genial gentleman. He goes out of congress now, but honors await him in the future, and he uriU wear them gracefully aud well.—LoPorte CAnmidc.

■mMMMSWgMMMKaSMSS xiECTioM or Ttrtnrmr omcxM. Many journals of both political parties are discussing the merits of the ( laws now in force regulating and gov- . eruing the election of townshspofficers, and the opinion is almost unanimously expressed that a return to tbe old method of electing these officers in the spring, as formerly, would meet the approbation of tbe masses of the people of the state. Tbe subject is attracting the ' attention of the liberal minded and 1 thinking people of the state, and it is more than probable that tins dr the succeeding legislature will take some action in regard to’the matter. We write this article not with the expectation of forcing Our views upon our readers, but i merely to call their attention to the subject, and opening it up for discussion, as the acts of our legislators, in many , cases should be governed by the views of their constituents. Many of the papers that are now discussing the subject under consideration, favor the substitution of the old law , for the one now in force. This would give, us annual spring elections for township officers, and the reasonsgiven for urging the change are that the present law is no saving in expense, and that the election of township officers I could be made without beiug influenced by partisan prejudices and hatreds as ‘they are under the present mode of I electing them during the period of a ! heated political contest. j After some reflection on the subject, arid some years experience in the practical workings of the old law and the new, we unhesitatingly declare in favor of a return to spring elections for these officers, but think that these elections should t»e held bienially as now, instead of annually, as was the practice under the old law on this subject. Our reasons for advocating the change are that there is no earthly reason why a justice of the pedee, a constable, an assesi sor, a road supervisor,* of a township t ; 'i>’.' ’-, even, should be chosen because df his political opinions; arid, when . they can be chosen at a time when the public mind is not .excited by the heat Zs a partisan contest, attention will be /giv.u.more to the qualifications and ■ fitness of the man for the jxisition than ; to his views upon political questions of national importance. Again, through theblind prejudices of party influence, a township is frequently deprived of a sufficient number of officers to conveniently transact its business, merely because party leaders would prefer seeing those offices vacant rather than see them filled by good, conpeten|; meh of the opposite party. Township caucuses are frequently manipulated in such a manner as to bring about these results, and we unhesitatingly enter our protest against ah such proceedings, which are riot only absurd but positively injurious to the business interests of the township. Let us illustrate. A party caucus is called in a township where one or the other of the political parties has an overw helming majority. Party feeling ii running pretty high, and it soon becomes manifest that none but party adherents shall lx? voted for at the coming election. The law entitles the township to three justices of the peace, perhaps, anil the full number is required to meet the wants of the township. The office is not a very desirable it soon become* apparent that perhaps not more than one man who is conoipetent, <sm be found in the dominant party w-ho will serve, while the party of the minority lias a sufficient numl>er of good, capable ynien who would till the positions witlf credit themselves and satisfactorily to the citizens of the township. What do party caucuses do under such circumstances? Common sense would say. nominate the one good man ofthe party who will serve and leave the other positions, to lie filled by the opposing pkrty. but party prejudice steps in and demands that the names on the ticket shall l*e tilled by meh who positively refuse to serve, and who, after being elected, never qualify. These are some of the reasons why we favor spring elections for township officers, and we trust that this or the next legislature will take the necessary steps to change the fartr so as to meet the wishes of the lite ral minded pie of the state. Let us drop our political prejudices .and meet at our spring elections with thc ; j resolve to choose good and true men | without any regard to their views on I the political questions of the day. j —M " It has been generally supposed that I the patrons of Husbandry_were in favor of doing away with all legislation in the interests of monopolies, especially where a subsidy was asked for on the part of said monopoly, but the national grange, in its session at Charleston, South Carolina, unanimously resolved that congress should .vote government aid to the Texas Pacific railroad, a scheme which is supposed toembrace as much corruption as any thit has been before congress for a number of years. Tbe and aims of those instrumi||bd in bringing this organization into ajatence were bo doubt good, yet the action of tbe national grange in this instance only shows that all organizations can and do become corrupt Can it be that agents of the Texas Pacific have been tampering with the leading men of the order? We shall see. Those of our people who have been married under the Indiana laws during the last 23 years are just now in consternation over the recently discovered fact that on account of an irregularity in the wording of the Marriage Act passed by the legislature in 1852, all marriages consummated since that date are illegal and void. This is rather rough upon those interested, especially tbe children; but we have tbe satisfaction of knowing that the irregularity in the law of ’52 will not materially affect our marriage relations, for if the act of 1853 is void, it cannot .repeal the old law of 1858, which was lewdly drasra, ■soeesESsssse Lccy Havkur, a colored woman of Washington, died recently at tbs ad- | vanetd age of 1U years. ■

The Ligonier Banner wants fifty new dwelling houses erected during the coming season to accommodate those who desire to become residents of that place. A correspondent of the Kendallville Standard is writing some interesting sketches of the part performed by the 100th Reg't Ind. VoL Infantry during | the late rebellion. The Kendallville Standard says: “ The LaPorte and South Bend editors are having a grave controversy in regard to the condition of their waterworks. For shame." A dwelling bouse with most of the contents, situated a short distance from Angola, Steuben county, was destroyed by fire a few days since. It was owned by a Mr. Ed. Loughrey. As a train on the Ft. Wayne. Jackson & Saginaw road was nearing Angola from the north, a few days since, the passenger coach was thrown from the track by a broken rail, and turned nearly over. Quite a number of passengers were in the coach at the time, but none were seriously injured. It took several hours to get the track clear. The United Brethren in Christ have built a new church edifice in Ligonier at a cost of about 53.000. It was dedicated on Sunday of last week. Bish< p Weaver, of Dayton, Ohio, officiating. Subscriptions to the amount of 83,400" | were received, and the debt of the j church is now secured. i LaGrange lias been visited by anoth- ! er fire since our last issue in which we mentioned the total destruction of Moon A Co.*# shops by fife. J ust one week from that time, a fire was discovered in the shop of Bradley A Morton, ryul before anything could be done to sulilue the flames, the building was in ashes. The loss is estimated at about 81.800. The residence of Mr. Peter Parr, near Kendallville, came very near being dc--1 stroyed'by fire a few days since in a ■ somewhat singular manner. Mr. Parr i was away from home, when a sewing machine agent called, and after effecting a sale, other parties arrived who proved to be the sole agents of a wonderful compound, which if placed in a kerosene lamp would render it non-ex-plosive and perfectly secure. Permission was granted to test the qualities of the wonderfut compound, and a portion of it was placed in a lamp and a light- ‘ ed match dropped into it. An explosion and much of the furniture was in flames, which were with j difficulty subdued. People cannot be too cautious bow they admit venders of patent humbug articles into their dwellings, as in many casts their object is other than, the sale of the article in their possession. A bill has passed the house of representatives which provides that any person who shall embezzle. steal or purloin any money or other valuable property of the United States, shall be punished therefor by imprisonment at hard labor in the penitentiary not exceeding five years, or by a fine of $5,000, or both. The second section provides that if any person shall receive,conceal or aid in concealing, or have or retain in his possession, with intent to convert to his own use or gain, any money, property, record, voucher, or valuable thing whatever, of the jmonoys, goods, chattels, records, or prg(>erty of the United States, which has theretofore been embezzled, stolen, or purloined from the United States bj* any other person, knowing the - same to have lieen so embezzled, stolen, or purloined, such person shall on conviction before the Circuit or District Court of the United States, wherein he may have such property, or wherein he resides, be punished by a fine not exceeding $5,000, or imprisonment at hard labor in the penitentiary not exceeding fiv<a years, one or both.’ at tjie discretion of the court liefore which he shall be convicted, and such receiver may be tried either, before or after the conviction of the principal felon; but if the party has been convicted, then that judgment against him shall be conclusiveevidence that the property of the United States therein de-cribed has been embezzled, stolen, or purloined.
