ALTHOUGH the controversy be-
two IN Judge CHAPMAN, Of the In
dianapolis Criminal Court, and the
papers oe that city terminated last
week, and the papers were allowed to
publish in full the evidence in the
case of Mrs. GLEN, we do not regard
it inappropriate to print this morning
a communication from one of our
lawyers, on this subject. Our CORES
pondent sustains Judge CHAPMAN in
his ruling against che papers, and as
he seems to be the only one who has
manifested disposition to do so, we
the more cheerfully give him a hear
ing. Like the distinguished Judge,
our correspondent also INDUCES in
sundry insinuations and sneers at
the industry which newspaper men
put forth to get the latest and
most reliable news, regardless of its
locality or character, and expresses
the fear that the privacy Of family
fresides are no longer safe from their
prying curiosity. The trouble with
Judge CHAPMAN was, he attempted
to sustain an unpopular decision by
sneers and innuendoes as to the mo-
tives actuat1ng newspaper publishers,
in their efforts to obtain and print the
news that the people were most anx-
ions TO read. Our correspondent
commits a similar mistake. The mo-
lives of the publishers have nothing

The Secretary of the Treasury, yes

81, ,280,000 to the Union Pacific, and
$640,0 to the Central Pacific Rail-
roads.
The forthcoming public debt state
ment will show, coin in the Treasury

The following is the telegraphic re-
port of the special commission recent
ly appointed to examine the Central
Pacific Railroad:
SACRAMENTO, Dec. 3, 1868.
o. IT. Broy1nipg, Secretary of the IN
terror, Washington, ID. e.
The Central Pacific Railroad is we'll
and substantially built to Wadsworth,
on the Tuckakee River, eighteen
miles from Saoramento, except two
bridges, now nearIy finished. Tracks
aud curves are within the limits, and
the locations are satisfactory. The
rails weigh from 56 to 64 pounds to
the lineal yard. The ties are OF sound
timber and of full size, and are laid
at the rate of 2,400 to the mile. The
track is firmly laid and bailasted.
The culverts and bridge foundations
are of heavy granite masonry; the
bridges are of HoB's truss pattern,
we'll framed and ironed; the tunnels
are is feet wide; about twenty miles
of the summit of the Sierras are COW
cred with s0ow-sheds; passenger
trains can run from fifteen to thirty
miles per hour with safety, and
smoothly. The equipment of rolling
stock, engine houses and machine
shops are fully up to the demands of
the traffic; seventy new cars are run
ming on the road, and eigety more
are on the way; on the new portion { f
the road, along the Humboldt Valley,
the cress-ties, bridges and rails are up
to the standard.
There are few minor defects, not
of vital Importance, in culverts and
drains and the width of embank-
ments. These can be remedied at a
small cost when the hurry of pushing
forward the road is over. Heavy
trains Of rails, ties and fuel are run
ming safely to the extreme end of the
road. = AS miles from Sacramento.
The road is being constructed in good
faith and In substantial manner,
without stint of labor or equipment,
and is worthy of its character of a
great national work. The telegraph
line is first class.

WE print, this morning, Brig. Gen.
CUsTAR's official report of his late
battle with the Indians. It will be
seen that the same energy and zeal
which characterized the Union officers
aud soldiers toward the close Of the
rebellion still animates them in their
warfare with the Indians on the plains
of the Far West. Gen. CUsTAR's re-
port is very graphic, and we have no
doubt is a correct account of the
events narrated.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.
THE EMERALD.

1HE EMERALD.
This weekly is gaining rapidly in public
estimation. The illustrations are more than
respectable, and the literary department.,
if not in the first rank, is far above the
average of its contemporaries. There is one
point, an important, onein which it will bear
the closest scrutiny-the matter is unexcep-
tionable in point of morals-which cannot
be said of publications making much greater
er pretensions. One of the most renowned
New York weeklies, which assumes to lead
in the path of civilization, and is owned by
one eff the greatest luminaries in the Me-
thodist church, had an article recently, il
Illustrated by its highly paid artists, intro
ducing it's readers to the lowest purlieus of
the Five Points in New York, and SO scan
dalous in its blazonry of vice, that Horace
Greedy protested in a leader against init
ating the young and ductile mind into the
scenes and denominations surrounding the
abode of "Thc Wickedest Man in New
York" The finger discern should be pointed
at firm which would thus seduce and
familiarize the minds of youth, through the
medium of n glorious art, into the lowest
and most degraded haunts of vice. Let judi
cious parents guard their offspring against
the contamination of such publications.
AS an illustrated paper, we heartily recon-
meny the Emerald to heads of families.
THE AGR1cULTUR1sT, for September.
The reading public for whom thismonthly
caters is well provided for in the Septem-
Der number-the contents being varied and

which every farmer should be familiar
Its interest is by no means confined to agri-
culturists; people of every profession and
calling will find in its pages ample matter
to instruct and entertain. 1t has one de-
partment which is unique in itself-a col
umn devoted to the exposure of Shams"
in New York, but having their ramifca-
lions and agencies throughout the entire
country. The Agriculturist is profusely
illustrated, and many of the engravings
are in the highest style of the art. The
