The indianapolis papers recently bristled
with startling headlines over an article,
which was quite generally copied in other
papers, giving the particulars Of a scene at
one Of the hotels Of that wonderful town,
wherein an indignant and enragcd brother
rushed frantically into a bed-ehaniber, con-
fronted his sister and her param0Gr, whip
ped the vile seducer with a raw hide (or
something else), and led away the betrayed
sister. All Of the parties were said to bel
from this city.
II is pity 10 spoil this little piece Of az
fecting romance, but a due regard tc the
facts, az they have recently come 70 our
knowledge, renders il matter Of Journal

an Indianian who frequently visits our city

should recently have formed familiar ac-

his company. Il happened, however, that

Il was proposed, therefore, that every
butcher should be ordered. under severe
pains and penalties, to have the animals
slaughtered by him submitted to a micro
scopic examination, and on Friday last a
great public meeting took place. in which
the question was debated, and both pro and
anti-trichinist, the latter consisting princi-
pally of pork butchers and their retainers,
were assembled in great force.
The meeting broke up, as is usual with
such meetings, after concluding that ~some-
thing must be done; but no action has
been taken as yet by the city authorities
The butchers however, finding the tide of
opinion running against them, have given
way so far as to have their meat examined
in the manner proposed, and in almost every

does not prevent people from being fright

one is afraid that if he eats pork it may just

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

Upon the question whether the action of
Congress, proposing amendments to the Con-
stitution, should be submitted to the Presi-
dent for his approval, it seems that there has
been discussion heretofore, and contrariety
of proceeding. The following are all that
we have upon the subject;
The question was raised distinctly in 1903
in the Senate Of the United States on a mo-
tion that the then proposed amendment
should be submitted to the President. On
motion that the Committee on Enrolled
Bills be directed to present to the President
of the United States for his appreciation, the
resolution which has been passed by both
Houses of Congress proposing to the cOnsid-
Grafton of the State Legislatures an amend
ment to the Constitution Of the United
States respecting the mode of electing Pres
ident and Vice President thereof; it was de-
cided in the negative-yeas /, nays %.
On distinct vote of % to ! the Senate
voted that the Committee on Enrolled
Bills should not present the proposed
amendments to the President of the
United States for his approval, and it
was not presented to or approved by him.
The same question came up in 1898 in tho
Supreme Court of the United States, de-
pending upon the amendment to the Con-
stitutiOn proposed in 1894, and the counsel
in argument before the Supreme Court in
sisted the amendment was not valid, not
having been approved by the President of
the United States Mr.. LEE, the Attorney
General, in reply to this argument said:
" Has not the same course been pursued re-
lative to all the other amendments that have
been adopted? And the case of amendments
is evidently substantive act, unconnected
with the ordinary business of legislation,
and not with the policy or terms of invest
ing the President with qualified negative
on the acts and resolutions of Congress"
The court, speaking Through Mr.. CHASE,
(Justice), observes there can surely be no
necessity to answer that argument The
negative of the President applies only to
the ordinary cases of legislation. 1t has
nothing to do with the proposition or adop-
ton of amendments to the Constitution. In
the last Congress, af'er the Constitutional
Amendment was submitted to Mr.. LINCOLN,
it was sent back by him with the remark,
that he thought he had no right to sign it,
but as it was submitted to him by Congress,
he signed it; and q resolution was after
wards reported by the Committee on the
Judiciary in the Senate, and adopted with
out a division, stating that that was done
through inadvertence, and the Secretary was
directed not to notify the House Of the SEN
ate's having received notice that the Presi-
dent had signed the Constitutional Amend |
ment.

(which, repeat, is neither shown nor alleged in
these proceedings of the Offcnses with which he
Is charged, he may. by the express terms of the
third section of the act Of the 2d of March, 1888
be tried and punished therefor by a civil court.
If OtEers may assert. | cannot. that in the civil
court justice will not be done between the Cow
ernmeut and the accused. II Others may assert,
cannot, that courts ta are, by their OrgniZsl-
ton and mode of proceeding, better able to ad-
minister enlightened justice than civil courts, pre-
sided over by judges learned in the law. aided by
impartial jurieS. And if any one assert that the
law Is more promptly vindicated in cOurtS-martial
than in civil courts let him also be that il
not more abused, and let him not attempt to YER
fy his assertion by referring to the of the
cused, who was not even arTaigned for trial until
nearly two years after the alleged commission Of
the supposed Ofenses, and whose trial, after being
prOtracted more than thirty days was only then
suspended that he might be brought before this
court.
Few persons. think. appreciate more highly
than the great services rendered by the military
in our late terrible national struggle. Few per
sons, | imagine. could be found more disposed
than to accord to the Government, whilst the
war was hagrant. transcendent powers. but now,
that peace has returned, no ono can be more tnlly
persuaded than that we have no hope of pre-
serving institutions or our liberties except by
returning to the ancient channels for the admins
tratiOn of justice. l agree with Sir JAMES MACK
INTOSH that while the laws silenced by the
noise of arms the rulers of the armed force must
punish. as equitably they can. those crimes
which threaten their own safety and that Of so
usurpatiOn. As soon as the laws can act every
other mode of Furnishing supposed crimes is itself
an enormous crime"

Slure for &Iiying.

If lady's horse be addicted to
shying, l will give her a sure and
simple cure for the same, one which
| have never known to fail. Let us,
for instance, suppose the existence
Of a heap of stones on the near side
of the road. The horse sees an in
distinct gray object, and prepares to
shy at it. The moment he shows
such symptoms let his fair rider turn
both her eyes Oh exactly the opposite
side of the road, and look steadily
away from the offending heap, and,
/ engage that the horse will walk
quietly by. For many years | have
ridden horses of all tempers and dis
positions, some of them much given
to shying, and have never yet found
this simple remedy to fail in its eff
feet. Let those who scott at me try
it. The reason is this The human
eye has, doubtless, a great influence
on all animals, and there is a strong
and secret sympathy between the
horse and its rider. The horse sees
an iudistinct object, and looks doubt
fully at it; his rider becomes alarm
ed, imagining that the animal is 60
ing to commit some cccentricity the
fear is communicated to the animal,
and he starts in terror from the OBJ
jeet which has frightened him; where
as, if he finds that his rider sits un-
moved and unconcernedly, he regains
his confidence, aud goes on Sin the
even tenor of his way" / believe
that one-half Of our horses are ruin
cd for life by being ''hit over the
head" by grooms, to cure them Of
shying.-Horse Tanning.
