The Indianapolis papers are determined
to force the Legislature into employing an
official Reporter, or else pay them for fur
nishing reports. Mondays proceedings are
condensed about as much as they could be
in the Sentinel and Journal We copy the

Senators Line and Studabaker took their
seats 5000 copies of the Governors mes
sage were ordered to be printed, 1000 in
German, for the use of the Senate. a mes
sage was received from the Secretary of
State, returning the bill continuing the
! Sinking Fund Commissioners with the
! Governors objections thereto a long de-
bate and many propositions followed in
reference to supplying the Senate with sta
! tionery. The newspaper question was dis
cussed at length. The bills in possession OF
the House, which had passed the Se-ate but
| not the lower branch, were ordered back
| The officers of the Senate were requested to
report the number of persons employed III
| the service of the Senate their names and
duties. A report was made i'll favor of en-
| ploying an official reporter, which was re-
| fered to ascertain what the official reports
could be published for in the daily papers

The Canal.

We have seen letter from Mr.. Butler,
Trustee of the bondholders Of the Canal, in
which he says the Board of Trustees have
completed their annual report to the Legis-
lature, in which they have formally announc-
ed their intention of relinquishing the Canal
and re-committing its charge to the State.
He expresses hope that some arrangements
may be made for keeping the Southern por-
ton open for navigation.
There are, we are told, 100000 acres of
land belonging to the canal still unsold.-
These lands are mostly in this district, and
were originally given for the construction
and maintenance of the Southern Division.
If the canal is given up, the lands ought to
90 with it as a part of its assets. With
these lands as basis, it appears to us a
company could be formed who would put
the canal in order between here and Terre
Haute, and keep it in better condition than
it ever has been. If it could be maintained
for one year in good order it would attract
business sufficient to it to pay its expenses
for the future.
The whole subject of the canal, as we I'M
derstand from Mr.. Buffers letter, IS now
referred to the Legislature, and the State is
requested to take such action as it may
deem best for its own interest. This city
has a deep concern in the measures to be
taken in relation to the canal, and it should
send a special delegation to Indianapolis on
the subject. We are requested to suggest
to our citizens the propriety of holding a
meeting and adopting some measures to
preserve our end of the canal from total
abandonmens, and to secure for its future
support the lands that justly belong to it

NEXT STATE FAIR.-The State Board of
Agriculture have ordered that the next State
Fair be held at New Albany provided the
people of that city will furnish suitable
grounds, well fitted up for the occasion.
\ proposition to offer a premium for the
best tobacco and native wine produced in
the State, was rejected by the Board. A
petition was adopted TO the Legislature ask
ing for Il thorough geological survey of the
State; and Il resolution was passed asking
the delegation iii Congress, from Indiana, to
support Senator Morrill's bill, giving por-
ton of the public lands for the support of
Agricultural Colleges.

Legislative Reports.

The best check upon imprudent and dis
honest legislation is afull report of the daily
proceedings of the Legislature. Put upon
record, before the people, every remark made,
and vote given, by every member, and
check is placed upon him, and he feels in
of the assembled people of the State, who
were scrutiniZing all his deeds and Words
The bribery and corruption, and the discred-
liable legislation, and the notifying scenes
that have disgraced our Legislature and
State, in the last four years, would have all
been prevented by full, minute, and authorize
tive Legislative reports, that would have ex-
hibited every mans part in the proceedings.
The papers at the Capitol cannot afford, upon
the limited patronage they enjoy, to report
and publish the proceedings of the Legisla-
ture In detail, at their private expense. 1t
| involves costs that papers at the National
Capitol cannot sustain without Congression-
al aid. The State Sentinel during the ex-
ira session, made an attempt to give full re-
ports, and furnished US a better account of
the proceedings of both Houses, than we
have ever had it was not all we could have
wished, nor as full as it would have been,
had the Legislature encouraged it.
But the members, actuated by party preju-
dices, or swayed by the spigot economy
which is characteristic of small men, refused
to subscribe for a few hundred copies of the
reports, to be distributed among their con-
stituents. SO the Sentinel has been obliged
to dismiss its reporters, and we are again re-
duced to the skeleton reports, from which
we find it very difficult to learn what is do
ing or has been DONE The members may
now kick up old Ned without much
danger of being exposed to their constitu-
ents or the public; and the people will only
learn the results of their State Legislation
when the oppressive and unwisc laws begin
to operate on them.
Schemers and REGULATORS delight i'll sucf
a state of affairs, which allows them to con
coct and accomplish their plans withou
arousing the people till the law is fixed upor
them. The public treasury could not make
a more useful or wiser expenditure of it
funds than by paying $4,000 or $4,000
for full and authentic reports Of all that i
said and done in the Legislature. If al
that is spoken or done within the bars o
both houses could be presented to the publ
as it occurred, members would feel that the,
were under the eye of the whole State, ant
would be put upon their good behavior
The debates, too, in the Legislature are a
much part OF the history of the State a
the laws which they elaborate, and shout
: DC preserved; they are often the best com
mentarieS in expounding the law as shown
the reasons for its enactment, and the III
: tentions of its trainers. The discussion of
f law by its trainers ought to be as importan
to the public as the reasoning of the Jud
. ciary in the application Of it to particula
. cases. The latter are reported, printed an
