THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

The Sentinel announced last week that the
Supreme Court would not give decision in
regard TO the cons,itutionality of tho law Of
1855 until after the approaching election
We have good reasons for believing thoy

tho elections of county officers last October
are void. We think tho postponcment Of
tho decision Is designed TO give the Demo.
Gratis chance to elect officers without oppo-
sition, Our advice would DO To 20 on with
the elections, In anticipation Of tho decision,

ELECTION REPORT.

We have hastily examined u pam

Of the majority and minority of the
Committee on elections and the evil
dence in the contested election ease
Of Robinson rs. Sexton. Tho proceed.
ings were conducted before old liners
throughout, and were characterized
by an utter disregard Of every rule of
law and principle ofjusticc, and the
same principle has prevailed in the
publication OF the reports and the ev-
idencc, The doposltionstaken by the
defendant have been suppressed by
the public printer, or the person SUI
perlntcnding the printing, and do not
appear, and the evidence taken by
the defendant which is published, Is
80 mangled in printing that many
points are unintelligiblc. The oh.
jections taken by tho contcstee before
the Justices and before the committee,
oshow the lawlessness ofthe proceed
ings, are omitted. And 70 cap the
climax of injustice and lawlessness,
WHlCh HluIhcu every hNhge VI tilo lh j.
vestigation, on the part of the contes-
tor, while the pretended report OF the
evidence and reports are published ut
the expense Of the choie people, IL has
only been sent 10 the confession for
distribution The contestoc and Re-
publicans generally who pay their
full share OF the expenses OF printing
and their full share Of all other ex-
penses incurred In gratifying the
malice and ambition Of q iew old line
leaders, IL seems are TO have none of
the reports for distribution, except
such Us they may be able TO beg from
the contestor and his friends
This is u sample Of old line justice
and fairness in Indiana. How much
longer the people of the State will con-
sent to be governed and taxed by q

be determined,

that there Is u natural bridge within
sixty-two miles Of that place.
in Scott county, Virginia, com.

Cedor creek Is nero circircum-
stance. The Scott bridge extends
across tho chasm moro than twice
eighty feet in width, and Is four hun.
dred and twenty feet deep, at the bot.
tom ofwhich flows much larger
and more rapid stream than Gcder
