En- JOURNAL: | suppose there is no
doubt but all the elections necessary 70
be made by the Legislature will be made
at an early day of the extra session. This
is necessary. in order that the vexed mat
ter may be disposed OF and the members
proceed 10 the important Legislative bust
ness which will be before them. OF the
Offices 10 be hlled by the Legislature,
there Is none of more importance 10 the
people Of the State than that Of Trustee
Of the Wabash and Erie Canal. The Pc
cui:ar circumstances al the present time
connected with this Canal. the interest
the State has or may have in it. the large
amount OF money involved in its trans

with all matters connected with the busi-
ness, and whose integrity is iLcorrupti-

The business Of the Canal is all trans.
acted at this place, the business Office be-
IN here. and in my judgment the Trustee

here. and give his entire attention 10 the
int, rests of the State connected with The
Tru t. Indiana requires that her Trus-
tee should know more about the condition
OF the Wabash K Erie Canal. than can bs
