To the Editor Of the Daily Press:
Knowing you to be friend to liberty and
the working-men of Cincinnati, allow us,
through the wolking-men's paper-for such
we believe yours to be-to express our opin-
ions in reference to the meeting last Saturday
evening at Metropolitan Hall
The Enquirer, in an article Of Sundays
issue, seems to depreciate us for the applause
given to the speaker, Mr.. Crocker, on that
occasion, at the same time admitting the OBJ
iects of the meeting TO be plausible enough
but impracticable. His philosophy and con-
clusions are not ours. We believe nothing
impracticable founded upon science and COM
mon sense. Further, we believe the work.
ing-men of Cincinnati have the right to ex-
press their appreciation when they please, or
feel like it. If not, will the Enquirer furnish
US with the legitimate standard which we
can apply, when to applaud and when not.
If it be broad enough, liberal enough, reason :
able enough, and democratic enough, it
shall control us on future occasions. We
earnestly hope, for the benefit of the work
ing classes particularly, and mankind in gen.
eral (the editor of the Enquirer included)
that Mr.. C.'s financial and economical reform
may universally prevail. We will not only
applaud, but otherwise cooperate in organ
izing system of equitable trade and COM
merce which must, from necessity, be sue
cessful in universally curing the terrible
scourges to humanity, poverty and crime;

NATIONAL THEATER.-T The Dead Heart con-
tinues to draw interested audiences to this
tbeater, and Mr.. Eddy's impersonation of
"Robert Landry" to which he is well
adapted, receives much praise. The play is
eminent1y sensational, and SO well put upon
the STAGE that it rarely fails to interest even
the most bldse habitues Of the theater. A
lauehable farce, with the clever soubrette,
Addie Proctor, in the leading part, will con-

CONVICTION NEWS.

The LAW RESPECTING THE Pursuit OF FU-
GITIvEs.-It seems that the statutes are
somewhat defective in relation to defraying
the expenses of officers in pursuit of fugi-
tives from justice. A case in point is the
pursuit and capture of Herman Alexander,
who is charged with stabbing Henry Over
house; the bill of the officer who caught
him being disallowed. The remedy, and the
only one we can suggest, is to appeal to the
Legislature and have that defect in the stat
utes provided for, and we understand there
is a petition now in circulation among our
citizens, which proposes to reach the matter
if the prayer Of the petition be not disre-
garded. The officer who is active in the pur-
suit of his duties and in carrying out the
execution of the laws is worthy OF his hire.
The FEDERAL CoURT.-This institution
commenced its session yesterday morning at
the rooms of the Court, in Geo. McDannolds
Law Buildings, on the corner of Fifth and
Madison-streets, Judge Monroe presiding.
The interior arrangements are under the
auspiees of United States Deputy Marshal
Geo. MeDannold and Clerk Thomas Penning-
ton, Among the first business was prop
osition from the Bar of Covington, that the
Kentucky Circuit Court practice be intro
duced or admitted in that Court. Judge
Monroe remarked that as he was but an as
sociate on the Bench he would prefer hold
| ing the proposition over until he could con-
suit with his principal aRd the matter was
| so deferred.
ARRIVAL OF HUNTERs.-A few days ago,
| several of the members of the Oovington
Hunting Club, among whom were b.. W.
Foley, Joseph Clark, and others, started on
a bunting excursion, to Arkansas, on the
| borders Of Missouri where large game, deer
and elk, abound. They returned yesterday
morning, with lots of game, and live
swan, which they presented to the Superin-
tendent of Spring-grove Cemetery.
MOTIONS OvERRULED. - In the Circuit
Court, yesterday morning, the motions for
a new trial in the cases of ID. W. Clark
Henry Slaughter and John Cornelius were
overruled, and the awards of the jury will
be proceeded with.
COMMITTED For TRIAL - The case O
Herman Alexander, in consequence o.
the continued illness of Henry Overhouse
could not be continued, in the Circuit
Court. He was required TO give bal
for his appearance at the March term, in the
sum of 81, 900, and in default thereof wa
committed.

PennsyIvnnIa LegIsInture,

HARRIsBURG, PENN, January IA Mr..
Smiths Union resolutions were up in the
House to-day.
Mr.. Williams, of Allegheny, made a strong
coercion speech, opposing compromises; ad-
vocating rigorous course of the powers of
the Government to suppress Secession by
force; assailing severely the petitions for the
repeal of the ninety.ffth section of the
Penal Code; holding that attempts to COM
promise are futile, past COMPROMISES having
been failures. He said the Union must be
reconstructed ultimately by the admission Of
the conquered provinces, and that the she'd
ing of small amount Of blood now would
save oceans hereafter.
There were vast numbers present and ap-
plause from the galleries was frequent.
Mr.. Duffield (Dem.) Of Philadelphia, re-
piled briefly.
Great Importance is attached to the speech
of Mr.. Williams, he being the exponent OF
radical Republicanism, andit being regarded
as foreshadowing the action Of that portion
of the Republicans of this State.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Januery l4.-Fhe Gov
ernor and Lieutenant Governor elect were
inaupurated thisafternoon. The Governors
address favors measures for the purpose of
giving greater efficiency TO the present very
defective militia laws of the State; the im-
portance of well-5rilled militia can not be
over-estimated in tho present critical condi-
ton of National affairs. He says the novel,
alarming and reasonable assumption that
any State has right to secede 10 a doctrine
unknown in the Constitution, and at war
with the principles on which our Govern
ment was established.
If the position assumed by tbs South is
true that the result Of Flsesidentioi election
legally and constitutionahy conducted is
good reason for dissolution, then the MON
can only be preserved by base surrender of
the right of the majority to rule. The re-
peal of the Missouri Compromise was the
cause of the present crisis. He declares the
people Of Indiana are true to the 0onstitu-
ton and loyal to the Union, and will be in
the future, as they have shown themselves in
the past, willing to yield ready and cheer
full obedience to Rll the requirements Of the
Constitution and laws and to maintain and
uphold at all times, under all circumstances
and at all hazards, the glorious form of gov
ernment under which we live. The people
of our noble State, with very few exceptions,
have resolved to support the President in
the free exercise of all his constitutional
powers.
A voluntary prompt repeal of all State
laws, North and South, in conflict with the
spirit of the Constitution would be peace
offering worthy of a great, intelligent, and
free people. Indiana has not now nor never
had any such legislation upon her statute
| books. Whatever may be the condition of
public sentiment in other sections, Indiana
would favor an amicable permanent settle
,,ls hon, 10 -
| all portions of our common country. In her
official relations with her sister States, her
conduct will be characterized by courtesy
and fraternal feelings, cheerfully and
| promptly yielding all their just rights as
EQUALS under the Constitution.
