New LAW OF DEscENTs IN INDIANA
A bill introduced by Robert Dale Owen,

important act ever passed BY the Legis-

property-holder in it. The State Sen

sweeping; it abolishes the principles of

A New YEAR.-The ist of Jun

A New YEAR.-The 1st OF June
is the commencement OF a new year
with us. We commenced the pub
fication Of the Journal on the first o;
June. 1850. We have made out our
books and accounts TO commence the
subscription year at that time, and
as soon as all our subscribers shall
put themselves right on our books,
there will be little difficulty in clo-
sing the previous years business at
that time, and starting anew. We
make this statement here as the pune
tuality of old patrons has not allow
ed a clear and fair start with the
books and accounts at this date
Will our old subscribers, who have
neglected us, oblige the printer by
calling at an early day, pay up ar
rears and start with the new year
with the advanced subscription paid.
The present terms oil the Journal,
one dollar in advance, allows but a
trife, with our present list Of subscri-
bers, when all pay promptly, to the
publisher after paying expenses
This reduction Of terms renders it
necessary that we should have our
dues without delay, as well as offer
ing a strong inducement for others 10
subscribe. This paper is now some
thirty-seven years old, it having been
started in 1915, but never, even
when at one-third IFS present size,
has it been offered at the low price
of one dollar, till the present pub
Usher put the advanced terms at that.
The list of subscribers has been grad
ually increasing since our connection
with it, for which we are right thank
full, but there still is room. What
time more appropriate than the pre-
sent for commencing a yearl We
are just entering upon Presidential
campaign, which promises TO be an
exciting one. The general interest
created by Presidential election ex-
tends to every hamlet in the land.
We shall endeavor TO give correct
Information connected therewith.a and
discuss party measures with GOODNESS,
and the merits OF men with fairness.
In addition TO politics we shall en-
deavor TO make the Journal what
good newspaper ought to be,
IA map of busy life, its auctuatiOns and IFS
vast concerns.''
We appeal TO our friends again to
aid in enlarging the list Of our SUBJ
scribers.

are still busy TO accomplish some
thing:
The bill TO provide for the con-
struc;ion of railroad from Coving-

as the order of the day; whereupon
Mr.. Imboden offered a substitute
therefor, authorizing the Central
Railroad Company to increase their
capital stock by the additional sum
of-million Of dollars without a
State subscription. for the purpose
Of constructing said road.
Mr.. Shannon offered a substitute
for the proposed amendment, provi-
ding for an increase Of the capital
stock OF the Virginia and Tennessee
Railroad Company to the amount Of
$3,000,000, to enable them to con.
struct a railroad from some suitable
point on their road, with branches
running to the Ohio river, termina-

learned from practical and reliable
sources--through the medium OF
some Of the officers of the Dutch
trigate Prince of Orange, now lying
off Castle Garden--that we shall
have a tough job in getting the
japanese to consent TO commercial
intercourse with US; and so far from
obtaining a peaceable negotiation
and treaty, the Emperor OF japan is
making preparations to give US a
warm greeting--that he has strongly
fortified every part OF his coast, and
that he has a nation Of we'll equipped
soldiers ready to pounce down upon
US. They agree in thinking that cur
force is utterly inadequate to the
task Of making an entry into the
city Of Jeddo, and doubt the suf-
fciency Of the quantity Of "metal"
for pounding down any of their bat
teries, which are all of the strongest
construction; and that if the Japan
ese have no war marine, they are
otherwise well provided. The ma
ton is warlike and united, and the
