TRADE.
As samples of business transactions
here. the following reports OF sales
for the month of October, may be OF
interest to the commercial empo-
rum of Indiana: = Stewart q Nor
gan, druggists, S29,939; Merritt &
Coughlem. manufacturers of wooden
goods. S3,271; Eagle Iron Works,
machinery, 81, 900, and 16 tons of cast
ings; Afford, Talbot 4 Co., whole
sale grocers, $41 ,047. These reports
are said to indicate unusual activity
in business, but the best showing for
this city is in the dry goods line. We
have one retail house that reported
sales of more than half q million last
year-a sum exceeding the entire
business of all the retail dry goods
houses in your city, and greater than
the business of any of your who lesale
houses in that line, with a Single ex-
ception, if [ remember correctly. a
new house has recently opened ON
Washington Street, with an immense
stock, backed by heavy capitalists,
and lively competition has, run prices
down below New York jobbing rates.
Possibly a good thing for the public,
but not very profitable for the com
petitors.
A WRESTLING MATCH -
for $500 side, and on which thou
sands of dollars were staked in bets
came off at Stiltz's Grove on Saturday
A great crowd was present, and in.
tense excitement prevailed. The
parties (whose names | do not pro-
pose to Immortality were a huge
Kentuckian and a small New Yorker.
Bets were laid on = Kentuck," but
the little .. Yorker : threw him read
lily and pocketed the stakes,Cs Luck is
not always on the side Of the heav-
lest battalions." Science tells in these
days.
A GOOD MOVE .s5sas -
Although this city is remarkable
for the number and beauty ofits
churches, for the efficiency of its pub
lie schools, and for the extent and
variety of other agencies supposed to
be conseryators of public morals, it
is scarcely less noticeable for the num-
Der Of its houses Of i'll fame. These
establishments have hourished greatly
in times past, but at last they seem to
have met with hefty' impediment
in. the. shape of an active police force
and a righteous judge. Scarcely a.
day passes but sees a bevy of1frail
women brought before Judge Scott,
by whom they are fined, cOsted and
lectured to the full extent of the
statutes. Doubtless there are many
among them who are as deserving of
pity as Of contempt, but they are not
the less fit subjects of punishment.
A little more vigilance in the detec-
tion and punishment of their patrons
would be quite as commendable as
the present movement.

HARTFORD, May 1.-The Legislature met
to-day and Governor English, the late
elected Democratic Executive, sent In his
Inaugural Message. He urges that as citi-
zens of the common country we should
strive TO eXtinguish vindictive rcsentments
engendered by the late civil war waged to
maintain the supremacy Of the Federal
Constitution and the integrity ofthe Union.
lie states that the great object was not
vet attained, the Union was not restored,
the States were denied participation in the
National Government by an action of Con-
gress. Such measures If persisted in will
transform the Republic into despotism
| He deems the course OflegislAtion pursued
| bv Congress wholly uuwarranted, and fatal
| to the Union and the Constitution as the
| doctrine of secession.
! The legislation Of the Thirty y-ninth Con-
gress was to a large extent a series of usur-
| pations and infractiOns of the Constitution.
| lie argues that Congress has no more power
under the Constitution to establish mill
tary government in the Southern States
than to institute AN order of nobility in
England, and claims Congress assumed that
power only for the purpose of more thor
oughly accomplishing the subyersion oi
state authority. IT COngl ess can legislate
for those States, il is not difficult to foresee
a like interference in other States, and the
fright of States TO regulate their internal
affairs In their own way will hencetorth be
subject to the caprice of Congress.
