The RussIans IN Indiana.

The Enquirer compares the Old Line Demo
cratic party of Indiana 10 the Russians al Sc
bastopol We think this is a peculiarly aPPro-
pirate comparison. The despotism. proud AFRO
gance and crushing spirit OF tyranny over those
beneath them which mark Russian lords, may
we'll find a comparison in the Old Line party
leaders of this Siate-while the seTfs of Russia
made the machinery of the lordly wills above,
and cringing into servile obedience TO the nod
and beck of their masters, are too correctly re-
presented in many OF the machine Democrats OF
this State Thank Heaven no such comparison
can be made for the Republicans of Indiana. -
Each Republican has will OF his own, and a
mind of his own, and freedom OF action TO carry
out his own judgment, independent OF all dicta-
ton from any source. Thus they voted last cleo
tion-thus many men who had heretofore been
identified with the Democratic party threw of
their shackles, and stood forth as men, voted IS
men, and secured the defeat of that party which
permits no exercise OF free will, but implicit and
unmurmuring obedience to the dictation of It's
party leaders These Democrats have been i'm
molated for their free spirit, just any Russian
serf would receive the knout tor daring 10 be a
man. Well is the comparison made, even to be-
ing like the Russians IN SebastOpOl- for they are
beseiged in their stronghold by the representa-
tives of what may be considered Republicanism
by the side of that unmitiga;ed despotism, tina
antagonism TO all liberal principles, that impla
cable foe to all true democracy, represented by
the army within The walls of Sebastopol. TIL,
comparison is given by an organ of this Russian
party here. it is appropos, and let it be iemem
bered.

ed, authorizing the Auditor of State to re-
tain as much interest on the stocks of any
free bank in this State, as TO indemnify the
State for any loss on account of taxes due by
said bank. A resolution was offered by Mr..
Walpole, making the seduction of female
in good repute felony-adopted by 81 to 4.
Also, resolution by the same, to make per-
sons who keep gaming houses and permit
min RS to play therein, and those who play
or bet with minors, guilty Of misdemeanor.
He might have added, with much more bene-
it to humanity, those who sell ardent spirits
to minors; and then, if the resolutions had
made the commission of the above offenses,
either with minors or adults, misdemeanor,
they would only have subserved the ends of
strict justice.
In the Senate, on Wednesdays resolution
was adopted, on the expediency of amend
ing the law so as to permit parties to swear
to their book accounts. The Senate went
into committee of the whole on the contest
ed election case from Harrison county, and
after some pretty sharp shooting between
Messrs. Cravens, Willard, Wiiherow, Shields,
Spann, and Vandeventer on behalf of their
respective parties, the present incumbent,
Democrat, was permitted to hold his seat
In the House, resolution was adopted after
debate by 81 TO 81, abolishing township as
SCISSORS and providing for county assessors-
A resolution was adopted making 1t felony
for any person or corporation 10 put in circu-
lation as money ANY notes or certificates SIM
liar to bank notes, unless authorized by law.
see your Dir. DENLY, Of the Enquirer,
has much to say aboa; Office seekers. No
person has better reason to wax wroth on
that subject. Poor fellow! He expected
much and got little-a mere crumb. His ex-
hortaton to the Senate ,to"hold out faithful

past writings on popular sovereignty. Yours,

We copy the following precious piece OF "soft
soaping" from the Indianapolis Republican. We
had hoped that when Chapman lett the Old Line
Democracy, he would see fit TO cease the wor-
ship Of such Democratic manufactured little
great men as Gen. Lane. And we especially had
a right to think. that Chapman could not prevail
upon himself to speak favoIably of the Te-elec-
ton to Congress of man who last fall left
Washington City to visit Indiana, and in varf-
Gus parts of this State made some OF the most

We were not defeated in October last; a
combination of factions did, it is true, tri-
umph temporarily over our party, but let US
remember that ultimate victory is determined
by lis fruits; -the so-caIled Peoples party oc-

brighten US into submisson-it is ours to hold

friends about here will rejoice to hear from
head quarters, that their party in Indiana
was not defeated the last election. They
had better take around the State Sentinel,
and insist upon divers hats. coats, boots and
dollars, lost Oh that election and paid over,
being at once returned, as they have the Sen
tinel to prove the Old Line party was not de-
feated!

right of POSITION comes Mr.. Soule, u red
republican,, French refugee-a man whose
late-erratic course has made him the laughing
stock of all Europe and who has brought
the name of an American Minister to be
treated with scorn and contempt by honor
able men. And next comes Mr.. Belmont.
Why sir, he resigned his position as Austrian
Consul General at New York. aud for what!
Why, sir, to become all American Minister.
A man Of undoubted financial ability, per-
fectly- conversant with the rise and fall of
stocks or the manner of efectng a loan on
the best terms-sir, man whose lie and
interests have been Identified with foreign
countries. And this, sir, is the man entrust-
ed with the interests OF this Republic as
mister Ut a Foreign Court! Robert Dale

Sir, these are sumo of the men who at the

THE GRAND REMEDY-W0rk and Food for
Ala letter from Rensselaer,, Jasper coun-
ty, Indiana, published in the New York
Evangelist, says TO TIE unemployed and
hungry in that city:
"Just move, with your families, to the
ed work To be done, and thousands of dollars
to pay for it. A competent, sober, industri.
Gus mechanic can earn from three to four
bushels of corn day, or bushel OF good
wheat, or from twenty live to thirty pounds of
pork, or their value in each.
"Here at Rensselaer,, a good mechanic, a
joiner or shoemaker, for instance--and num-
bers are needed here-may obtain for his
labor in one week bushels of corn, bushel
of wheat, lbs. of sugar, half ID. of tea, 10
lbs. of beet, 25 lbs. of pork, l good turkey,
3 lbs. of butter, l Id. of coffee, i bushel OF
potatoes, and have a couple of dollars left in
his pocket to start with the next Monday
morning. Now, gentlemen editors, here is the
proposal; is it not. perfect remedy against
starvation!
"Let the mechanics and servant girls who
are out of employment with you emegratc to
the small villages and country places of the
West-ahu mere are ten tnoBSanu such places
let turn off from the large thoroughfares
and cities which are supplied, and they will

The ChIorOEorm Robbery on the New
York Central Isa iirOad

1OTA ScHfEai
The Rochester Democrats gives the fol-
lowing particulars OF the recent robbery by
means of chIoroform, which we briefly MOTTO
ed day or two since. Says the Demo
crat:
son Friday last young woman took the
cars for tie West, at a station short dis
lance below Utica. Her baggage was
checked for Buffalo. After proceeding
short distance upon the journey woman
who was fellow passenger, with an affect
ed desire to relieve the loneliness of the young
lady, took seat with her, and became very
sociable. She was, in fact, very attentive,
and, among other marks Of familiarity, offer
ed her protege her bottle of smelling salts,
which was accepted and used, Soon. after
inhaling the pungent odor OF the yinaigret tie
she became powerfully affected by the in
fuence OF some subtitle soperitic agent which
IL contained, and fell asleep. She remained
in this unconscious position for some time
aud, on recovering from her stupor, discover
ed that she had been robbed OF her purse,
baggage-checks, &c. On arriving at the
CLYDE station she made known the facts TO
the conductor, and the railroad men made up
a sufficient sum to take her on to. her desti-
nation. This circumstance develops a new
and dangerous scheme for the robbery OF un-
suspecting persons onthe railroad trains.-
Doubtless the female adept caused her victim
TO inhale the vapor of cElorotorm, and thus
had her fully in her power while she per-
petrated the robbery. II they carry their
OPP erations TO the extent OF taking baggage
also, 1t is still more serious business. Let
every one be castious about encouraging
the approaches of plausible strangers on the
cars''

POPULATION OF Observation-Disclosures
ding to the annual report of the Auditor
General, the number OF taxable inhabitan is
in Pennsylvania is 55S,236. Taking the
ratio OF 81 of the population to every taxable,
the aggregate number of persons in the
State would thus be 3.07O,29S. This, if a
correct estimate, shows rapid increase in the
