~ We nublisb in another column from the
National Intelligcncer of Yesterday the Speech OF
HENRY CLAY on leaving that seat in the Senate
which Cor so many Years he has filled with such
nneoualled honor, and in which he has acquired
nnf,d;ps renown il will be read with deep in
,erest by every citizen who has respectfor splendid
genius, clcar-sgh,ed craftsmanship and a noble,
generous devotion 10 the veal of the Union.
~ Gov sEwARD's VEro on the bin upset,ng
the Court OF Sessions Of this City will be found in
this paper We hate Vctoes no less than ever
no less from Albany than Washngton-and we
would have preferred not to have a wise and good
measure upheld by one mans will overruling
that of one hundred. Yet This Message contains
cogen, irresistible reasons why the bill vetoed
should never have been passed. The administra-
ton Of Justice has reached beautiful pass when
n high Court Of Judicature is sought to be sbol-
ished because the Supervisors of the County in
which tits located factiously refuse to pay the sal
aries Of Its Judges! That the present organza-
ton Of that Court, with three regularly appointed
Judges steadily on the Bench. is vastly superior to
the method sought to be restored Of picking up
Judges at random from a bevy of raw, party-made
Aldermen, two-thirds of whom never read FIVE
pages Of the Revised Statutes, have never
doubted-what fair man could question it That
its overthrow would have been subvcrsive of the
efficiency of the administration OF Justice, aud OF
the salutary respect felt by the awless for its min
listers, is most apparent. We rejoice, therefore,
that the Court has been preserved, though we dis
like The mnnncr Of doing il.

IN SENATE.
FRIDAY, Feb. 4, 1916

Tho bill regulating the lien by judg
ment, was taken up III committee OF the
Whole, discussed, amended, and finally
postponed indefinitely.
The bill! regulating the fees Of clerk:
was, after a long debate, amended, by
striking out the ia cents for each hun
bred word0 in recording, and inserting ter
cents.
Several measures were acted on none
however, of any importance.
The Committee on the Penitentiary
made report of some length.
Mr.. Ventress moved to print the whole
of the documents, which was opposed by
Mr.. Miller Of Pontoloc, long debate
arose, in which almost every member took
some part.
Mr. Guoin moved to Tecommit the re.
port to the committee, with instructions
to retake the testimony.
Messrs Miller, Ives, Guoin, and others
spoke 10 favor of the resolution, which on
taking the vote was lost.
A motion was then made TO print the
report and evidence taken by the Com.
mittee. On this motion, severa! members
spoke. Mr.. Guoin insisted that the evil
denCe had not been taken according ia
the rules OF taking testimony, and ought
not 10 be printed.
Mr. Marshall said he hoped they were
not sitting there to Legisate either for
or against the Keepers. The Peniten-
tiary. A certain system had been adopt.
ed in its management. To scruiinizs the
results OF that system in practice, was the
matter now in hand. The Committee had
reported set facts, proving most clearly
that the system was radically defective.
1t was now the duty Of the Legislature to
remedy that evil in some shape. Better
had it been, he said, far better for the
State il, instead of setting the convicts to
work, they had been engaged in rolling
blocks up and down the green, for The
last year. From the amount of work
done, and the manner of doing it, he should
have conceived that Two thousand dollars
was fair expenditure; instead Of that the
report showed the expenditures to be be.
tween thirty and forty thousand dollars.
1t the articles manufactured in the
prison could not be sold for sum equal
TO the prime cost OF the raw material, it
was time to change the mode of operating.
Two hundred copies of the report and
testimony were ordered to be printed, and
the whole matter lays on the table until
this is done.
The Senate having gone through the
business before them, adjourned at past
two o'clock.

Great excitement in ArkaRSaS-m more In
dian murders "A most wanton and IN,
provoked murder was committed on the
the 3lst ul,. by Cherokee Indian. nam
ed Moses AIbegty, Jun, on the body OF
Mr.. George Long, very respectable and
peacabie citizen of Madison county Ar.
kansas. The murder was commilsd "A
few miles from Evansville, within the In.
dian country. A short time before the
murder, a party Of Indians, of whom Al
berty was one, made an attack upon Col.
Chas. NJ. Mcclellan, of Cane Hill, who
succeeded IN making his escape. Mr..
Long shortly afterwards aIighIed from his
horse at The SINE house, an0 was varying
himself by the fire, when he was attacked
by Aberty, and wontonly murdered, with
out the slightest provocatlon.
The Arkansas State Gazette orthe 10Th
inst. from which we obtain the above facts
states that Immediately on the reception
Of the above information, Governor Yell
made requisiton of Governor Butler,
the Cherokee agent, for the apprehension
Of Alberty, and his delivery TO the United
States Marshal, for trial The Governor
also. promptly ordered Major General
Sneed to organize and hold in readiness
regiment of not less Than five hundred mi
litia volunteers, TO protect The frontier a.
galnst aggression or outrage from the In.
dams and 10 bring the murderer to Justice
If he be not promptly surrendered to the
United States authorities.
Since the above we learn that Alberty
had been arrested by the Indian authori.
ties, n few days after the murder, and
would be forthwith delivered up to ore
of the Military Posts to be tried before the
United States District court. All The
better classes of the Cherokees, it is said,
were much exasperated against the muir,
derar.
