aea The most important bill before the
Legislature is the one to prescribe the duties
of the Sinking Fund Commissioners, and TO
direct the disposition and mode OF inVestlh''
or distributing the money belonging ) the
funds entrusted to their care. II e Board,
as constituted by the first biz is endowed
with dangerous discretIe.,n and power over
the Trust Funds in5their hands. In the
hands of the present incumbents the trust
is safe; but the vicissitudes of parties may
in year or two change its character. The
question is, what shall the Board do with
the money as it collects il? Shall it loan
it out to individuals, invest it in State
bonds, or distribute it to the counties in the
ratio of population or children, to be man
aged as other trust funds are by the coun-
tiesp On these points there should be full
and decided expression of public sentiment.
In this part of the State, public opinion
Z is unanimous in its demands for distribu-
ton of the school fund as fast as collected
to the several counties to be managed as the
seven per cents now are. The accumula-
ton Of these funds at Indianapolis to be
loaned by the commissioners, will result in
giving the use of money belonging to the
people Of the whole State, to small CEN
trial district around. the capital, and which
in the hands of corrupt board might Gre
/ ate cesspool Of corruption and favoritism-
We have heretofore spoken at length of the
evils that may flow from the dangerous
powers conferred on the board by the act
creating it. So = !. i, : .-s +.
The people ask that their functions should
be limited as closely, as possible to collect
ing the funds, paying the bank bonds ant
distributing the money to the counties upon
some fixed basis. ss q faag "a j.

BsS@ The Pacific Railroad project in Con-
gress is considered as killed for this Session.
The House have rejected all the various
propositions before it for the location and
building the road by decisive vote There
is not strength among the friends Of the
road in the Senate to pass any of the various
amendments propounded to the bill before
that body. The measure owes its defeat to
Southern strict construetionists and State
rights men. If all the projects for North
ern road can be defeated, OF kept in abey-
ance, the Southern Pacific Road through
Texas, may be pushed so far ahead that it
will be adopted as the main trunk of inter-
communication between the Pacific coast
and the Mississippi valley. Mr. Benjamin,
of Louisiana, who is deeply interested in
the Tehauntepec route, has. been one of the
.most active and willy opponents OF the
Pacific Railroad scheme in the Senate.

The TARtFE.--A letter from Washington
The only possible hope for modification
of the tariff at this session is through
Conference Committee in its closing hours.
That last chance is desperate, and depends
upon the refusal of the House to grant
loan on this condition. ~.
u Even then there is too much reason to
fear that the Senate will not yield its repug-
nance to the change, so obstinate is the par
pose of the Democratic party to refuse any
concession on this subject. They are more
inclined to hazard an extra session than to
conquer their Eprejudices. The House is
likely to stand firm, and to insist upon pro-
vision being made to extinguish any debt
which may be created. SO
: The Republicans have held a caucus and
unanimously agreed to vote for modifica-
ton OF the tariff Their stand is clear,
positive and unqualified, as will be seen
when the test comes in the House. On the
other hand, the Democrats in that body. will
hardly muster twenty votes, including the
Pennsylvania delegation. This significant
fact tells the whole story, especially when
connected with the position of the Demo-
cratic majority in the Senate. 3l
There is no difficulty in knowing what
political interests in Congress are for and
against the policy OF reasonable protection.

The LEGIsLATURE.-In the Senate on
Wednesday, the proceedings were without
interest. The House was occupied all day
with description of tie usury laws, in
Committee of the Whole. After amending
the bill 30 as to allow the taking of the ten
per cent. interest on contracts, and adding a
section to the bill that all loans made by
banks shall be on notes payable at the bank
ing-house of the bank, or If it is to be paid
upon bills payable upon any other place,
the bank shall not be permitted to receive
any exchange on the notea or bills. The
whole subject was postponed till next We'd
nesday The bill was supported and OPP
posed by members of both parties, and il
seems to have been discussed simply as q
financial question We infer from the de-
bate and the proceedings that the bill il
likely to pass the House. =

THE ARREST OF CAPT" COoK.-The telegraph an
nounces that Capt" Cook has been arrested. This
young man is brother of Mrs. Willard. For the
past three years his friends have known nothing of
his movements but it appears he has permitted him
self to be duped into grave ofense by the design
ing and infatuated old Brown. 1t is natural that the
immediate relatives of Captain" Cook should be
deeply affected in view of the probability Of his
meeting ignominious punishment for his completely
in the Harper's ferry affair, and that they should
make every effort to avert such result Governor
Willard, with Hon J. E. Mcdonald and d. W. Vor-
hees, who accompanied him at his earnest request,
left last evening for Charestown, to render young
Cook whatever assistance they can. Every right
minded person will appreciate the considerations
which prompt Governor Willard, the warm-hearted
affection which influences him to do all in his power
to save the brother of devoted wife frem felons
doom. Less than this he can not do. He would be
devoid of manness and the instincts of generous
nature if he did do all in his power to his
relative from ignOminious death. While we
have no sympathy with the crime, we may pity the
criminal We have made thisreterence tosthe affair
at our own instance and to prevent any miseonstruc
ton as to lthe motives which influence Governor
Willard in reference thereto,-h Indianapolis Seatae
