INDIANA.-It is reported that crime
prevails to an extraordinary extent in
Indiana, in consequence of the failure
of the authorities to enforce the laws.
Iwenty-one murders in ten days in o
State with a population of million
and half is asserted to be something
ffightful, and the condition of affairs
exceeds that of any of the Southern
Statcs-even Texas itself. In ten of
these cases only were the murdcrers
arrested in five others they were
known to tho authorities, but scaped,
and in six cases the assassins are not
known.

The Cattle Plague.

In the March number of the Ameri-
can Stock Journal is long and valu-
ablo article by Prof. John Gamgec on
the Lung Plague in cattle. Of all
the cattle diseases pleuro-pncumonia
is in the long run 'he most destructive,
because tho most insidious and the
least likely to rouse people to nni-
ted action for its seffectual suppression
10 ignore its presence is. however, to
insure that the cattle mortality Of
America like that of England, will be
at least doubled in few years. time.
Rational means, energetic action, and
earnest corporations between differ
ent States and the central government
may, with moderate expenditure
now, save millions annually in tho
not distant future.
There are at present no proper re.
strictions on the sale of infected stock,
and in another year or two, unless
some definite and immediate action be
taken, the disease is likoly to find its
way in SO many parts of tho country
that its eradication will bc almost u
matter of impossibllity.
The editors of the Journal being
extensive breeders and dealers in cat
tie, have printed an edition Of over
half q million copies for gratuitous
distribution among our Farmers. We
hope all will avail themselves of this
generous offer and send for n copy.

Yesterday we received from cv Senator

feat the ratification Of The constitutional
suffrage amendment by the rrcscn,

for approval or rejection
To the People ofIndiuna: 1t is the
highest right Of the people to vote upon

never heretofore been submitted to the
people Of Indiana. The resignation Of
the Democratic members OF The Lceisla-

to determine this great question at the

se'f-sacrifcing patriotism deserving the
admiration and support Of tho whole
