In reply have state, that be able 90 make such
report, would afford the sinceres pleasure were IL
in my power, thereby filling the requirements Of the
and securing nearly quadrupe present quota OF the
public arms, distributed Indiana the basis OF the
last report of her strength made in 1892 which gave
her only aggregate Of fyhree Thousand nine hun

But the deficiency of organization precludes the
possibility of making the legally required report.
The undersigned has respectfully called the attention
OF four consecutive Legislatures the Importance Of
enacng such laws might least such ENROLL

United States. But the bills intended to accomplish
that object defeated in the other branch Of
the Legislature or slept on its files.
As the best of presenting this subject the
earnest consideration of the coming Legislature deem
proper give this correspondence TO the public that
Senators and Representatives may have ample time to

An Honest President.

On our first page will be found brief article
on the action Of our Government in the Cuban
affair, from which twin be perceived that the
President mas endeayored most faithfully to pre-
serve tn" good faith of the nation, and to execute
the laws against expeditions Of this sort From
other articles, on our inside, It will be observed
that our Government adds mercy to judgment, and
rs now urging the Cuban authorities TO deal leni-
emily with their unfortunate prisoners Every
body will remember that the President was com
planned of for announcing, by Proclamation, that
he should fithfuy enforce the Fugitive Slave
Law, IN accordance with his oath of Office Let
those, who made that complaint, now give him
full credit, since the boot is on the other leg"

U. S. Supreme Court.

The Burlington Free Press suggests the Hon
SAMUEL PRENTIss suitable person to sue
coed IupGE WOODBURY. and the st. Adams
Messenger names both Judge PRENTIss and Hon
SAMUEL S PHELPs. Either would honor the
station, but We doubt whether either will be ap-
pointed, inasmuch as they do not reside in the
Circuit over which Judge Woodbury. presided
If precedents will authorize a selection beyond
the limits of the circuit we shall look with some
degree of confidence for the appointment of
Judge PRENrIss, who doubtless stands among
the foremost in the estimation of the President
and Secretary Of State. In that event, we know
of no man more likely than Judge Phelps to sue
coed Judge Prentiss.

Irregular Successes.

In Bennington County Asa II. Whppe ESQ,
one of the Wing candidates for judges, has been
defeated for the lack Of some hundreds of Whil
votes. and. Of course, one of the opposition can
didates has slipped in by plurality. The cbiec
,tion to Mr. whipple, in the minds of many Of
the Wings, grew out Of the unfortunate contest
for Member of Congress at the last election, he
having taken an active part, it is said in assail-
ing the private character of NJ Lyman. Mr..
Rising, the other Wing candidate, was "Miner
man." but did not incur the hostility of Mr.. Ly-
mans friends, and was elected, together with the
rest of the Wing nominees, by about 200 major
ity. p S. In Bennington, the locos have elected a
Judge of Probate also.
In Windham County Geo. Il. kellogg, Esq.
Whig, and present States Attorney has been
reelected by 2i3 majority over the regular Wing
candidate. Mr. Kellogg was nominated by the
opposition and declined; but they retained his
name on their ticket. and with the aid Of part of
the Wings, have elected him. This. too is in
part chargeable doubtless to the congressional
feud last year. An irregular candidate was also
run for Sheriff, but was beaten by the regular
nominee by 81 majority.
In Rutland County it is probable that Hon.
Almon Warner Wing, and present Judge of
Probate, has been reelected against the regular
Wing candidate and that Caleb b. Harrington,
Esq loco, late of Middletown but now of Rut-
land, has been elected States Attorney.
In Caledonia County, Mr. Ide, the Wing can
didate for Sheriff. has been elected by so plural
ity, the old liners having stuck to their candid
ate.
In Chittenden County, Ransom Jones lcoali-
uvnlls elected assistant Judge over John Lyman,
Wing. The rest of the Wing ticket is elected
In Franklin, Hon. Vim. Bridges, told line,) is
