From the Indiana Journal. Of Monday,
we CLEAN the following account of Satur-
days proceedings:
A bill was introduced in the Senate on
Saturday by Mr.. Mclean, Senator from
Vigo, fixing the salary of the Supreme
Judges at 81 800 per annnm; Circuit Judg-
es $1,000. and Prorecuting Attorneys at
$500, with docket fees. The bill also
provides for reimbursing the State against
increased expenses Of the judiciary, by
creating a docket fee of one dollar, in ad :
vance. from every person commencing q
civil action of and description in the Cir
cult Court, and similar fee of two dollars,
in advance, from every person taking an
appeal to the Supreme Court from any
judgment or decree of the Circuit or Com.
mon Pleas Courts.>
{ The COMMITTEES of the House on the af-
fairs of the Stat, Prison, made its report
on Friday last. 1t recommends the en-
largcment Of the old prison and estimates
the cost at sum which shall not much
exceed $40. 900. The report was not sat-
isfactory to Northern members. The cost
of conveying conricts to the Pcnitcntiary
from counties north of the National Road,
during the last year. was over SO, 900,
which would more than pay the salaries Of
officers for new prison. IS

TIE young Solons Of tie Dad Advertiser. or
rather in this instance, their monkey faced asss-
tant, we infer from the fact that there no gram
raatical gems in the article says for them, that we
have been driven from every place We ever lived. by
force of public sentiment, on account of the abuse
we heaped upon every body and every thing we
disagreed with. 1t is not probable that either of
them will ever be driven from this community,
where they are so well known, for any cause except
their worthlcssness and insigni6cance. No one re-
CARDS Their vulgar slang with any other feeling than
that Of contempt. The wish is evidently father to
the thought that we viii be driven from this place
No doubt they are very tired of US, but they will be
more 30 before we are through with them. They
think It outrageous, doubtless, for such nice young
men to be reminded Of their faults, and character
ize il as "scurrty.' but, only sending their
own chickens back home to roost with them
They have forgotten how they have stisuiatiscd and
abused every body ana every thing that conaicted
with them, assailins private individuals even. but
others have not, and precious little sympathy viii
they be able to excite in their behalf BY whining
and cryinS on account of the excavations inflicted
upon them in retaliation for their offences

in 1857 hey utterly refused to publish Che Official
vote Of the annual election in this county, simply
because it did not result to suit them, presume,
thus showing their attachment to the doctrine of
popular sovereignty. Fearing. last fall, after
discovering that their paper issued on Thursday
succeeding the election did not contain the official
vote, that they would treat their readers in the
same manner, we sent them word that they could
have our table of the vote they wanted to publish
it. which they accepted. as We knew they would,
because it would save them some labor. They
should have stated likewise that they could not in
December, 1887, find room in the "Linie Demo-
erat," for President Buchanan's Message, Ia docu-
mcnt which nearly every "sood and reliable" polit-
ical paper pablishes,) even after promising to give
it, and that they could not think Of going to the
trouble and expense of issuing it in extra; that
would be making too much sacrifice for the sake Of
party, especially here in Marshall where it not
required. Many more such evidences Of their "ef-
forts publish good and reliable news(.) paper"
might be given. had we time to hunt them up. but
let these suffice for the present.
IL Is Tor poking them with such sharp sticks as
these that they charge US with being personal and
scurrillous. We never could refrain, when a
school lad, when we saw boy leaning over bench
with his unmentionables drawn tightly over his seat
of honor from giving him a sound spank, even at
the risk of exciting his ire. The temptation to see
him jump and clap his hand upon the place where
the blow fell, was more than we could stand. This
being our natural disposition, we do not think we
are to blame for poking the asinine publishers of
the Dead Advertiser 80 often. Their owners and
keepers should keep them out of our reach or else
not allow them TO tempt us.

The passage Of the Homestead Bill, in
the lower House OF Congress, was most
glorious contamination. and the vote shows
what party most truly represents the in
terests of the people. There were 12O
votes for the Bill, of whom 81 were Re-
publcians, s Anti-Lccompton Democrats,
and 80 Lecompton Democrats. OF the 76
votes against the bill there was but one
Republican, Mr.. Nichols of Ohio. Messrs.
Hughes, English and Niblack. Of this State.
were among the Democrats who voted
against the bill. About 20 Northern
Democrats lodged the vote. Under this
bill every head of family, and every
young man of lawful age will be entitled
to homestead of l60 acres of the Public
lands, wherever he pleascs to select and
cultivate it. 1t will pour tide of emigra.

longs to our enterprising fellow citizens John

Our friend Seaward has the contract for the

the work will be well done. Taking the
place of the old frame buildings which were

BABEL ON THE SLoUeu.-Y esterday morn
ing, on the Slough, along the eastern portion
of the city, tremendous hubbub attracted
the attention of every body anywhere in the
neighborhood. There was a general confu-
sion of voices, frantic gestieulations. and a
stirring madly, back and forth Amidst the
din the respective languages of France, of
Italy, of Germany and of China could be
recognized strangely intermingled. Never,
we think, has such a stirring scene been pre-
sented in that quarter of the city, if in any
other. Our curiosity, of course, led us to in.
quire the cause, and we soon ascertained that
the French, Italian. German and China gar
dens had been submerged by the backing up
of the river, and that great destruction of
onions, garlic and cabbages had ensued-
Dire was the distress of the parties and loud
ly did they proclaim it. There viii be worse
destruction than this if the river continues to
RISE
