INDIANA UNIvERsITY.-This institution,
seated at Bloomington, Ind. like many other
literary institutions in the West, has for seve-
raj years past, been langulshing. Charges of
different kinds touching the character of the
venerable DR.. Wylie, President of the Univer
sty, were made through the columns Of some
of the prints in Indiana. They were lat the ear
nest request of DR.. Wylie, Investigated by a
committee of the Board of Trustees, and were
pronounced without exception, false. No one
acquainted with the accused, expected it
would be otherwise; and we take pleasure in
being able to congratulate the friends of this
institution upon its prospects for future emf
nence and usefulness. Int.
The Annual Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church of the State of Indiana con-

lovely tract southwest of this, well timbered,

who, by winter, will form a strong settlement.
Capt F. from Troy, N. Y, an intelligent mill

400 acres of excellent land on Buckner's

those parts of Texas where its culture has been

few of our farmers, however, have engaged in
its culture, owing to the influx of emigrants,
which creates good demand for pIovisions.-

NEW WORK


RECORDER MoRRIs--Therc is one burst OF in
dignation, with all correct men, at the conduct
of the Recorder. That he should leave the
Bench of the regular Court to preside at Star
Chamber of exparte witnesses, is a course OF
practice altogether unheard Of in this country.
The proceedings of this inqusition sent of
TO Washington, Boston, and other distant places,
and published simultaneous with our own party
rapers. If there was just cause to remove
udges ShefeliH and Scott, there certainly is for
Inc removal of the Recorder We have no
doubt that a petition, signed by ten thousand
CT sons can be readily obtained for his removal.
III at Judge should hold an inquisitorial Court,
and take exparte dispositions in cases where
criminal conduct is charged, and in cases where,
if trial is to take place, he is to sit as an i'm
partial Judge, is altogether new in this commu-
nity.--.NetO York Express.
BRINGING THE POWER OF THE GOVERNMENT
mt COLLISION WITH THE PEoPLE."-A clerk in
the Albany post office, says the Evening Jour
nal, was despatched West in the on Satur-
lay, to distribute papers containing the Star
u. amber testimony taken by John w. Edmonds
ard Co., to fix a charge Of fraud against the
Wings of the city of New York in 1888. This
clerk is paid by the people. What right has
the post master to send him on political mis-
sion? a
CHARGE OF LlBRL.-We understand, says the
Express, that the proprietors of the New Era
weie yesterday prosecuted criminally by n. B.
Blunt, Esq, for an alleged libel upon him in
reference to the investigation OF election frauds
now in progress before the Recorder.
IMPORTANT LEGL DEcIsIoN.-The Assist
ant Vice Chancellor pronounced decision this
100 ming of great importance to judgment oredi-
t. sand to the legal profession. He has deter
II ned, that where bill is filed for discovery,
and the litigation is wholly unsuccessful, the
costs oftne defendant, which have hitherto been
deem ed as belongining to the solicitor of the
defer liant, and decreed to be paid by the com
plainant, in cash, are the subject of SET OFF,
and that all the complainant can be compelled
to do in such case is, to credit the amount OF
such costs upon his judgment.
Parry SHAcKLEs THROWN oFF!-At late

{ .dtion of Locoiocoism, signed by twenty three

their town. But fully persuaded of the corrup-
tion and prohigacy of the party in power, they
have cast off its shackles, and, like thousands
who have also heretofore supported that party,
have now declared for s'Tippecanoe and Tyler
