Dear Stv:-Sines my last ePistle, the Gen.

: Mr. Hardin was one of the few who was
not seduced from his post Of dpsy BY the
desd.head excursion on The Indiana Central
Railroad He was in his seat on Monssy
when the members present were few and far
between, and offered quite humorous pre-.
amble and resolution bearing on the esse-
setting forth. in q i.e strain Of irony, the
great importance Of the ride on the "kears"
BY the members. and how much more essen
|tislit was than the business of the State.
The efusion was calculated to make the del.
linquent excursionists feel tolerably cheap. 80
The chances for the elections are ,"getting
no better fast" The 92d February has not
Iyet "srriv," and when il does. il is altogether
probable that the Senate will keep itas
holiday unless they can make it pay to sit. -
The Old Line Democrats in that b0dy DO
great deal Of laughing in the sleeve. because
ofthe advantage they hold. but whether il viii
prove laughing matter. depends aftogether
on their action hereafter. The nominations
for State Printer and Agent Of State are un.
derstood to be made. but I am compelled to
say that they are not likely to succeed
There is of course some dissatisfaction with
them. even in the Republican party. 1t is
thought the nomination for State Printer was
conferred very ipiudicious'y, but no doubt
fault would be found whoever might be the
nominee. Mr.. Gregg, of the New Albany
Tribune, who is quite anxious for the Office.
| is in bad humor with the whole proceeding.
He suggests that IL Me-. Chapman. sen., had
received the appointment of Postmaster
here, ,he present administration would have
been perfection incsrnate. Chapman says
Gregg's article, showing up the Republican
movement in the form of d stock, enterprise,
was an awful thing to put in print. j The
quarrel 10 very disaereesble to the friends of
each and calculated 70 injure their party
Its "stale, flst and Improbable" bringing
forth unnecessary ilffeeling, and bene6t,ing
no person Whatever. It would do them both
good to be disappointed in their hot pursuit
after Office. that appearing to be their whole
end and aim. The contract system" in
connecsion with this Office, is gaining favor.
Judging from the present condition ofthings,
1t is the only way the vexed question. Of. the
public printing can be settled. It offers
ine chance for the ecias which generally re-
wards q strike for economy, and when fairly
brought up, there will not be wanting, mem

When sufficient time shall have elapsed for
the Richmond railroad ride to operate on the
minds Of the excursionists, we may hear OF
some tail work in this line. The railroad in
terest will doubtless soon receive favorable
consideration from the same influence. Pity
some sound banking system could not be
started. yerscd in the "soft soaping"' arr, TO

with the decline and fail of Barnam.
On Tuesday. in the Senate, Mr.. oFreeland
presented petition from citizens Of Daviess
county for a chaoge in the school law---re-
ferred to the appropriate committee. Quite
