An Old Line Measure.

Mr. Hudson, editor of the Terre Haute Ex-
press, and a member of our late Legislature,
thus speaks of the Bank Law:
The Governor, however, is very much at
fault when he makes, as part Of his letter,
an extract from an article in the Lexington
National Guard, in which the law is spoken
of as one authorized by the late fusion Leg
islature."
There was no bill that passed the Legislature
of last winter, that was so purely a Democratic
bill as this one. The leading Democrats in
both the Senate and House, were active in its
support Lieut.. Gov. Willard exerted all his
influence to procure its passage. 1t was draft
ed by a distinguished Democrat and was re-
garded, while under discussion, as democra-
tic measure. But whether it is so or not, we
are impressed with the belief that in short
time, before the present stockholders will have
paid in any of their stock, they will sell out,
and thus afford proof conclusive, of the grand
object for which the bill ever became a law.
And in correlation Of this, we understand that
Mr.. Bowling of this place, has already con-
tracted to transfer his SIXTY fve thousand dol
lars of stock to gentlemen of this city, for a
bonus Of ten thousand dOAaTSt

AMERICAN CONVENTION s.

BY notice in another column it will be seen
that the American party of the 1st District Of
Indiana, will hold Convention at Princeton
next Tuesday, the 22d inst. The principal
object of this Convention will be to elect a
Delegate to the American National Convention,
to be held at Philadelphia on the I'D of Febru-
airy. Other business of importance will doubt
less come up before the Convention. All
American citizens are invited to attend We
trust the different Councils in the District will
send Delegates to the Princeton Convention.
Let them at once take the proper action to Sc
cure this object. The meeting will one of i'm
portance to the party, and should be largely
attended. A great many will go up from this
city, and we trust that every part of the Dis
trict will be represented. The notice is short,
but it affords time for fair representation.

A GREAT CoUNTRY-WHAr IT CosTs TO
FENCE IT.-The amount of capital employed
in the construction and repair of the wooden
fences in the United States, would be deemed
fabulous, were not the estimates founded on
statistical facts, which admit of no dispute
Burknap, well known agricultural writer,
says: Strange as it may seem, the greatest
investmentsin this country, in the most costly
productions of human industry, is the common
fences, which divide the fields from the high
ways, and separate them from each other No
man dreams that when compared with the
outlay for those unpretcnding monuments OF
art, cities and our towns, with all their wealth
are left far behind. You will scarcely believe
me when say that the fences of this country
cost more than twenty times the amount OF
specie that is in it,

The Territorial Register has always been

that she should be free. He is from Alabama,
and has always defended the interests of the
South. In fact, so anxious was he, at Tope

termed it, that many of US were constrained to
believe him to be pro-slavery man. The

We have spared our readers the infection OF
editorial speculations on the subject of the or
ganization of the House ofCongress. A month
and half have elapsed since the session open
ed, and as yet no organization has been affected
in the House, nor is there apparently any
prospect of speedy organization. The coun-
try is patiently biding the time when the Rep
resentatiyes of the people shall see fit to com
mence work Precious time, time which is
emphatically money, and money from our Gov
eminent Treasury, is being wasted, which
should be given to earnest national work.
Each party faction seems determined to lend
its aid to no other faction by which a member
of it may be elected to the Speakership.
Upon the Speakership depends the formation
of the committees, and upon the committees
much that it is thought will have an influence
upon the coming Presidential campaign. In
our opinion the importance of the Speakership
this term is entirely too highly oyerrated. In
all the effects to follow the election of Speak
er ofthe one or other faction, it appears to us
they will Lave but little influence outside of
the dOuSe--aL least the eileCJS OulSlue HluSt
be entirely too immaterial to justify the pres
ent course of Representatives. We by no
means think the salvation Of the Union de-
ponds upon who is elected Speaker of the
House, nor that the success of any party in the
coming election is dependent upon its securing
this Speaker.
S The National Americans occupy in the
House medium position between the pro-
slavery Democrats and the anti-slavery Re-
publicans. They are enlisted with neither
extreme. Is there any better or wiser plan
than for the two extremes, after their long and
jealous efforts in trying to elect one of theil
own number Speaker, to compromise by tax
ing man from the compromise party? Blu
we have been bothering ourselves and ou
readers very little with this Speakershil
trouble, and we are not going to commence tn
work now. Almost the moment an organi
zation is affected, the telegraph wires will b
bringing us the news, which we shall at one
lay before our readers.

A DIFFERENcE.-The Speaker of the Bri-

cradle emolument, according to the Washing

Speaker of our House Of Representatives.
The salary of the former is $4,000 year, ex
elusive of a furnished residence At the end
of his official labors no is generally rewarded
with a peerage and pension of $4,000 for

.sWhiskv Editors I"


81 Ihe editor OF Ine rSvu s-I--5- .doar de-
sends to the grossest abuse and SANDER of us
and of fusion editors because in al1usion to
his remark that he had seen "sixty five drunk
en- men and half-grown boys" in the streets
I Of New Albany during brief walk, we called
him whisky editor. We know as little of
his personal habits as he apparently does of
enness upon him. But we did mean, in call
ing him whisky editor" to charge that in
the face of the fact given above, he with his
party have been endeavoring to kill law
which had deprived the streets of Indiana
cities Of all such horrible exhibitions of vice
as that he describes. If to advocate the cause
of whisky does not make the editor OF a paper
whisky editor" we do not know what can
give him the title. Better for him to be a
"common drunkard" and thus exercise but a
limited personal wicked influence, than to be
q sober man, and through tie columns of a
public newspaper, advocate a cause which is
the very father of drunkards. We might re-
taliate the editor of the Ledger's abuse. by ap-
plying the same language to him that he de-
sends to use towards us, and with precisely
the same truth but we can strike hard blows we
hope, without using any such filthy wea-
pons
The editor of the Ledger alludes todrunken-
ness among persons in our employ. We I'M
sderstand that allusion. The person alluded
s to, had only one excuse for his unfortunate
habits-he came to our Office directly form the
Office of the New Albany Ledger! So far as
we know, there is not an individual Of the
many in our employ, who so much as touches
liquor-but if any one did, it is none of our
business so long as we are not injured by such
habits. We regret that we Cannot form "pre-
vious engagements undertake the business of
reforming the thousands of drunkards" in our
party, as requested by the Ledger. But we
have already made an attempt at even that.
8 We have written frequently and feryently in
favor Of strong Prohibitory Liquor Law,
which we are satisfied is the best thing in the
world for reforming drunkards, no matter what
their politics. That cur success has not been
equal to our DESIRES is the fault of those ''whis
ky editors who prefer general drunkenness
and vice and misery, and who prefer meeting
"in briefwalk,' @sixty-five drunken men and
halfgrown boys to losing a little political
capital.

Execution Of the LAFAYETTE Murdersrs.


We find in the Lafayette Courier of Friday
evening brief mention of the execution of
the murderers Rice, DriskeI and Stocking.
The Courier says:
At ten minutes past 2 O'Clock, this P. NJ,
Stocking, Rice, and Driskill were duly execut-
ed by the hands of the Sheriff, Thos. Jefer-
son Chissom, the first named for the murder
of John Rose, and the two latter for the muir
der of Cephas Fahrenbaugh.
We have only time this evening to state,
that we witnessed their execution which was
done in due form and promptly. Neither Of
the miserable culprits had any confession to
make but on the contrary, each protested his
innocence to the last-eyen upon the scat
fold
Such stocism-such utter indifference to
the fate that awaited them, was, perhaps, never
witnessed before. Each washed himself, comb
ed his hair, and dressed himself with as much
composure as though they were preparing to
attend some festive occasion. Stocking even
composedly read the news items of the n. Y.
Evening Post, after his arms and legs were
pinioned for the scaffold, as though he were
waiiing the arrival of an omnibus to convey
him to some pleasure party. After the drop
of the fatal scatfold, scarcely a muscle of eth
er of the victims moved, to indicate the dying
struggle.
4 Stocking, Rice, and Drlskill are dead-jus-
tice has been INDICATED, and the world moves
on as though nothing had occurred to inter-
rupt its progress. A large crowd was in town
but only about forty witnessed the horrible
tragedy. Farther accounts will be given in
our Saturday evenings edition. As soon as
the execution was over the crowd dispersed.
/ Thus ended the first execution ever wit
messed in Lafayette. God grant that it may
be the last.
The Journal OF the morning gives the follow
ing account of the horrible Indifference and
leyity of these bad men. One of them, it will
be remembered, when sentence was passed
on him, made the most awfully proane remark
that ever escaped the lips ofhuman depravity.
He said che wanted to be hung early, so as to
be IN he'll IN time for the first table at dinner.
The unfortunate criminals still manifest a
: reckless spirit of bravado, and to use their own
language are determined to ''die game in the
face of God and man.
We stood in the guard room yesterday
which by grated door commands view o.
the hall Of the jail, and listened to their con-
versaton as they were taken from their cells
to undergo the operation of shaving. They
f Ijoked with the barber upon their approaching
execution in a maner too siekening for recita
and INDUCED in the most horrid profanity.
Stocking, strange as it may seem, although
. quite as jovial, was less proiane than Rice o.

To PRESERVE CATTLE FROM DISEASE IN
WINTER.-When cattle are left out in the win
ter, it is recommended as a useful practice to
rub some tar at the root Of the horn, which
prevents the wet from getting between the
root and the skin, and it is said, contributes to
preserve the health of the animal, and to keep
it free from various diseases to which it may
otherwise be liable.
