Accident at GenneSSee Falls.

a serious accident took place at the great

years, went to Falls Field about p. NJ, and.

frozen spray and is very slippery.

Indiana.

1t is we'll known that two years ago the
Republicans had large majority in the low
or house of the Indiana State Legislature
The Democratic majority had previously been
50 overwhelming that the Republicans could
not succeed in getting a majority in the State
Senate. The consequence was that though,
having a majority on joint ballot, the Repub-
licans were prevented from using it to elect a
United States Senator. Hence the seat has
remained vacant. The late election has re-
suited in returning majority of Democrats
to the lower house. but the Republicans have
a majority in the Senate. Thus the tables
are turned; and each party now stands where
the other stood two years ago. 1t is now
supposed that the Democrats will elect two
United States Senators of their own stripe.
Ru. they can only do So through the complai-
sance of their opponents, for they have clear
ly no right to occupy better position in the
present .iuncture than the Republicans did
on the former occasion. Then the Democrats
refused to 60 into joint convention of the two
houses, but required the election to take
place by concurrent action. This was tried
and the two houses disagreed. of course
The opposition is said to be now resolved
that this plan shall be again pur ued, and
that if two Senators are to be elected, one al
least shall be from their side.

Minnesota Hotels.

The territorial press seems, of late, to be
contcnsed into one batterng ram TOR the eX
press purpose Of opening an annihilating cam
nonadc upon the "yillainous mail arrange
ments" and eXecrable hotels" upon which
the readers and travellers of Minnesota are
dependent. The structures upon NJ. o. Wal
ker we believe to be richly deserved, and
hope they may be continued until he is re-
moved or converted. But so far as the no.
tells are concerned it is simply waste of pow
der. Americans always did, and always will
make the greatest amount of money in the
shortest space of time and the least invest
ment of capital possible, and we have no
reason to expect that landlords will prove
an exception to the rule. That the places of
entertainment open for the accommodation
Of the travelling p bile do not and cannot
compare with eastern hotels, is to be eXpcc-
ted. We might as well expect that the Gle
;5ancics and comforts OF eastern homes,
should attach themselves to our private res
Idenccs as to our hotels These who are
unwilling to undergo the inconveniences OF
frontier life, should have remained by the
patcrnal hearth. If our cotemporaries will
exercise a little patience, we promise them
that that the .'course of human events" will
sweep away the "nuis .nces,' and present
IN their stead princcly hotels, capable Of af-
iording them the most approved delicacies
of upper life.-Rice County Herald.

The State Question before Congress.

Oar rcad-rs will have noticed that We
published on Saturday telegraphic dis
patch stating the fact, that Mr.. Douglass
had signiiied his intention in the Senate, to
soon report a bill from the Committee on
Territorie, to authorize Minnesota to become
q State, and also to organize a new Territory
beyond the western boundary of Minnesota.
The bill Of Judge D0nglas is a mere copy Of
the one already introduced in the House by
Mr.. Rice.
Our last advices from Washington are that
this bill is favorably looked upon by leading
members of both houses and of all parties.
Tie Committee on Territories, Of the
House, before whom Mr. Ri:e'- bill was
under consideration at last accounts. would
no doubt have reported favorably upon it,
Lad not its friends came to the conclusion
that tic business could be expedited by
starting tie measure afresh in the Senate
We have full faith and hope that the meas

A DEFAULTING TREASURER.

We have already noticed the fact that
the Legislature of Mississippi has declined
to grant the request of Mr.. Graves, the
State Treasurer, who became, some four
teen years ago, defnulter, to be permitted
to return to Mississippi, on condition that
he pay the State $4,000 a year, until the
balance against him, $4,000, should be
liquidated. His letter, addressed to the
Governor of Mississippi, and which was
laid by the Governor before the Legislature
is eloquent and affecting in its appeals to
the clemency of the Executive. He urges
that he has suffered fourteen years of exile
in the terrible climate of Canada West :;
that his head is silvered over with trouble
and age; that his wife, born in the sunny
South, ''nobly deserted her parents. her
home, her ALL to follow her husband into
exile, and has suffered worse punishment
than him; she, at least is innocent but
this has not prevented the climate from do
ing its worst upon her, and she is gradual
ly sinking into the grave all she asks is to
be permitted to return to the sunny South
to die" NJ. Graves has for years been
editing a paper in Canada, in which he ably
defended the cause of the South. The Leg
islature, however, doubtless from stern
sense of justice, has refused a favorable
hearing to his petition. and he realizes amid
the dreariness of the American Siberia, and
the sorrows of those whom his misconduct
has plunged into misery, that "the way of
the transgressor is hard"

Thus it will be seen that the travel is in
evitably lost to the lower roads, and the
time and distance is so greatly in favor of
the East Tennessee road that no other de-
duetion can be drawn than what I have
shown. Apart from distance, time and
money, we hold that the State has no right
to deny a charter to portion of her people
to follow any lawful business, or diserimin-
ate in favor of class or section. That the
exercise of such right is arbitrary and un-
iust-one that cannot and should not be
submitted to, and Senators should look well
