where there should be strong and decisive
action, and permit reckless minority to
ride ramnant withost word Of remonsirance
or censure, and at the same time secure the
support of an insulted party for an Office of
responsibility and emolument.
1t is understood that the younger Chap
man has received the caucus nomination for
State Printer. Nearly every Republican pa
per in the State which has said word on
the subject. has protested against this nomi-
nation. a young man who did but little ser.
vice for the Republican party during the
last campaign, has received the nomination
for this Office over the heads of men whose
labors almost secured that party its victory.
And the nomination, instead of having the
effect to make him labor to return the favor,
or show that in some manner he deserved it.,
has closed the mouth Of his press most effec-
tually. The "son of his father" appears to
think that the Republican vote may not be
unanimous fos him, and he had therefore bet
ter secure few Old Liners. The Old Line
press, in their enmity to the Republican par
ty, are now winking at Chapman's nomina-
ton, and will doubtless help him along. If
the Republicans should elect the proper man
State Printer, they might at once have res
pectable organ at the Capital, for we know
there are men, who if they secured the State
printing, would forthwith commence the is.
sue of strong and consistent Republican
paper there. We submit this fact to the con.
sideration Of Republican Representatives and
Senators. Much of the force and power OF
the Republican country press of Indiana
must depend upon the leading paper at the
Capital, and therefore this is most impor.
tant consideration.
We have made these remarks with no 9TH
er disposition than an earnest desire to bene-
fit the Republican party. We have no per-
sonal acquaintance with the Chapmans, and
no personal dislike to them, nor are we a
candidate for State Printer. We are in no
manner interested in who may be elected
State Printer, further than that having labor
ed industriously and devotedly for the sue
cess ofthe Republican party, We are not pre-
pared to see men occupying the present atti-
tude of the Chapmans, elevated over the
heads of more deserving and consistent men.
and thus feel tina; an indirect insult is cast
upon every Republican in the State. More
over, there is general indignation at the luke.
warm position Of the Republican at this par
ticular time when of all others it should be
hard at work, and we but give utterance to
this feeling in our remarks. We would
rather see the Republican openly side by side
with the Seminal. than silently assisting thai
paper as it is now doing. The Republicans
in the Legislature have it in their power to
very quickly bring the Chapmans 20 their
senses, and to a clear perception Of their du'
ties, or to better practice OF their duties.

The Quarrel Between Lane aud Farley
in the House Of Representatives..


The following are the particulars of the
late difficulty which occurred in the House
of Representatives between Lane, of Oregon
and Farley, of Maine, brief account of
which reached us by telegraph. Gen Lane
seems determined to distinguish himself
some way. probably with the object of deserv-
ing the high eu'ogium passed upon him by
the Chapmans, and of proving that their
kind wishes for his rec lection delegate to
Congress from Oregon should be felt by all
his other republican acquaintances. The
Chapmans, however, appear to stand alone
among Republicans in publicly advocating
Gen. Lanes reelection. after his labors in
this State to defeat the Republican party by
some of the lowest and dirtiest speeches
made during the whole campaign:

WASHINGTON, Jan.

p" uH- oO.
HoUsE.-The Senate bill authorizing the
construction of a subterranean line of tee-
graph from the Mississippi or Missouri to the
Pacific, was taken up. The bill proposes 10
give Hiram o. A den and James Eddy the
right of way through the Territories, and two
million acres OF land, they to construct the
line, work it, ard keep it in order at their
own expense, and to have it completed in
two years. The Government is to have the
right to transmit free, eight thousand words
per month, and the right to transmit to any
extent at rates of compensation as presented
by Congress.
Mr.. Farley, who reported the bill show d
the Importance and necessity Of such a line
Mr.. Lane, OF Oregon, said the bill should
be laid aside. There were other matters of
strict Territorial character which should be
considered first.
The remarks of Mr.. Lane led to retort
from Mr.. Farley.
During the remarks which ensued, Mr..
Lane called Mr.. Farley id liar.
The parties were about ten feet apart, and
in an instant they rushed toward each other
with threatening gestures and trembling
frames. The greatest confusion ensued, and
members rushed between the dsputants, a nd,
amid cries of "Order order,' "Sergeant.at at.
Arms" &c, that officer appeared with his
symbol of office, and order was restored
The scene was one Of intense excitement,
but passed in about the time necessary to
place it on record.

The BosToN ExTRADITIoN CASE The Boston
Atlas gives the following sddendum to the recer
Infamous case of extradition, concerning which,
we recently copied a brief sts.emen. from The
Boston Daily Advertiser:
We have undertaken to inquire into the fact .
We can find NO papers and no record. We learn'
however that this young woman landed few
months ago In New York. She was not pauper
abroad, and she never had been pauper. She
came here with auut who Ia now living In the
State and Is not paper. This girl-ior she is
quite you1g-had been deceived abroad. and she
came here to conceal her shame. When near the
tims OF her confinement, she was sent to the aims
house; and when we next hear OF her. she 10 torn
from the only being who loves her, and Is sent
the Before she could make her wants
known, before she could appeal to benevolen,
men or women tor aid, before she could effect any
arrangement for supporting herself by her own
labor she is driven by force of this hospitable
Commonwealth-to want, to loneliness to irres
elaimable infsny. And all this cost the State Of
Massachusetts, just Sl2 passage money
The New York Tribune of Monday undertakes
TO defend this unchristian outrage. 1t is enough
10 say tina. every essential fact is falsely stated
Especially do repudiate the assertion that this
crusl deed was sanctioned by the authorities OF
Boston. We are no admirers of our city govern
ment, as at present administered, but we do not
believe 1t capable of meanness like this.

FOR which you indebted, l suppose, to the
