Editor Stdr:-This city presents a scene Of un.
usual activity At this writing. The meeting Of
the Electoral COLLEGE, the session Of the Crimi.
nal Court and therein the trial Of Mrs. Nancy
T. Glenn for mu rder, and the existing term Of the
United States Court, to say nothing Of other
matters of less interest, affords every one in the
community something to discuss. Besides, this
IL The capital Of the State of Indiana, and here,
Of Course, centres all or much Of the political
power W hich controls public matters within its
borders The Electoral College assembled
yesterday, in the apartments at the Capitol
occupied by the Governor. The votes were
counted, and the messengers provided fer Were
appointed. Here, too, / may mention, Senator
Hendricks resides, who, though doubtless dis
appointed In his as plrations for the position of
Governor, and q return to the Senate Tor six
years from the sth Of Much, 1865, appears on
the street and in court in his accustomed heaith
and blandness Of manner. Representative Co.
burn resides here, and Is much respected in
this community.
The Criminal Court, Hon. ]. T. Chapman
presiding, is engaged in trying the case of Mrs.
Nancy Z. u m, for the murder OF Mr. and
Mrs. Young, on the 18th OF September last.
Mrs. Glenn is very pleasant looking woman,
having NO appearance of guilt, aud yet the
proof is intensely close as to her guilty
knowledge. Her husband, with true fl Ielity,
sits al her side, and conducts the case with as
much zeal as if his own life was involved.
Two other parties are indicted for the same
ofense, and as all were respectable members OF
this community, the result of the trial is looked
FOR with great anxiety. To facilitate the ends
OF justice. Judge Chapman denied the right OF
the press TO publish the evidence. Oae Of the
papers Of this city has a full account OF the
proceedings in to-day's issue, however, and the
Judge has caused the arrest OF the publishers
and reporters for contempt Of the order, and
imposed a fine of S25 and costs. The conduct
OF the judge is severely commented upon in all
circles.
In the U. S. Court to day, the trial Of John H
Loudon, charged with fraud on the Pension
ONCE, Is 10 be commenced. The U. s. Attorney
Hon. Alfred kllgour, Assistant Attorney Bell
and James p. Tustin, Esq, of your city, will
represent the Government, and the Hon. job q
Hanna defends the prisoner. This is an i'm.
portant case. Judge Nc Donald presides, and
reflects credit on the judicial ermine by the
dispatch and ability exhibited in the traasac.

THE MEETING OF CONGRESS.

To-day the third session Of the Fortieth Con-
gress Is entered upon IL Is not probable that
any Of the heavy business of the session will be
entered upon before the holidays, but a good
deal of preliminary work will be blocked out
Undoubtedly the financial question will b. the
main feature of the winter session Ii is one
that the country is impatient TO have settled,
and now that the Presidential election is over
neither party has any thing to gain or lose by
Its adjustment. Senator Mortons plan tor the
resumption of specie payments fixing times
for payment of given sums running through a
series OF years seems to meet with considerable
1avor. Another measure ad vocated, is the le-
CALLING gold contracts, enabling business men
10 contract specifically for payments in guild,
BY which IL Is held specie will be brought into
circulation. Auxiliary measures are proposed
IN the shape of redu ction of expenses, revision
of taxation and honest collection Of the reve-
nues. II the wisdom of Congress can devise
some mode of reaching the last mentioned re-
form they can resume specie payments any
day.
The question Of making manhood suffrage
universal will Of course be pressed this session.
but IT seems likely to meet with considerable
opposition, either If proposed to be carried by
act OF Congress or by Constitutional amend
ment- Some leading Republicans hold that
The Republican Legislatures of States where
me people have voted against negro suffrage
cannot properly override the popular vote by
legislative enactment carrying a Constitutional
amendment. In some shape, however, it is
probable that measure submitting the que.-
ton of manhood suffrage TO the States will be
passed at this session. The question Of repeal
ing the Tenure-of- Office Act will also come mp,
and there is no doubt that 1t will either be for
mally taken from the statute-books or that II
will be virtually repealed by some such Iegis.

Service Bill, and Senator Patterson's DipIo.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Ths statement Of the associated banks Of New
York city for the week ending Saturday Is re-.
garded IN many quarters as an unfavorabie
one, presenting ~ 1t does the features OF IN in.
crease q over e6,0O0,0O0 in the item Of loans,
against an increase Of less than 81, 500, 600 m
ceposits since the week before. Increase in
specie 81 %, ST. decrease in circulation 20, 800
decrease IN legal tenders O., 947 ,730. The Dc.
crease in legal tenders is readily accounted for
by the sales OF government gold, $4,000, O90 of
which was disposed Of at auction by the Sub.
treasurer, Mr.. Van Dyck. The increase of
specie is exactly the amount which was def.
Gent last week, and shows a return to the bank
OF goid which was probably boarded for spec
ulatIon. Money was a shade more active Sat-
urday, perhaps through anticipation OF the
bank statement. The prevailing rate was 2
per cent at the banks and trust companies and,
on mixed collaterals, among the brokers. On
governments the rate was six, with exceptions
at hve. Good houses, however, obtained all
they wished at six on the ordinary collaterals.
Commercial paper was without any change
either in rates or business. Foreign exchange
was undecided owing to the fluctuations IN
gold, but dull after the steamer.

The TESURE-oF-OPFIcR Acr.-Senator
Irumbun Is reported to have said recently, in
answer to the inquiry whether the Tenure of
Once Act will be repealed this session, that /,
might not be formally, but that IL will be rem
dered imperative and useless by the enactmeu,
OF Other laws affecting the occupation Of Gov.
eminent Offices. The bill of Mr. Jenckes, O,

with the passage Of Jenckes' bill, which has a
large number Of supporters, there will be- very
Little left Of the Tenure Of Once Act
The friends Of Mr.. Jenckes' Civil Service
measure have feared that il might fail through
the indisposition OF Congressman to give up
their district patronage, but the fact that pub
lie man so intelligent and well Informed as
MIR. Trumbun THINKS il Will pass must serve
10 give them great encouragement

One Of the advantages of an agricultural over
mechanical, or indeed ove- almost any other
pursuit, is to be seen very plainly in the fact
that " hen butter was ten cents a pound a
pound Oft would buy a yard of good cotton
cloth or pound Of good brown sugar, or per-
haps a little more. AT the prices II brings in
these days, pound OF it Will buy three yards
OF cotton or four pounds Of sugar in almost
any market The same Of most other articles
OF PRIME necessity. While the prices of al.
most every thing have increased very greatly,
In nothing has the advance been so large as in
farm products. Consequently, farming is more
profitable now than il ever was, and more
profitable, all things considered, than almost
any other occupation.
Yet, in spite of these facts, and with millions
of acres Of land to be had for the asking, we see
thousands Of able-bOdied men f1ockinx TO or
staying in the l1rge cities, to struggle with
each other for enough labor TO procure the bare
necessities Of life. or TO become, il too many
instances criminals or objects of charity from
want OF werk. In this tendency lies one of
the greatest evils which threaten the country;
and unul II is checked we shall have hard
Tines and high prices. Increased production
VIII not only che-pen the cost Of living but
reduce taxes as well, and persons who can in
any way promote this are public benefactors.
