temperance.


The indianapolis Journal suggests
the following as a good amendment to
the present liquor law:
1t would be a good thing to so
amend the present liquor law so as to
permit friends of parties, who may
have become habitual drunkards, to
make au affidavit to the fact before
the County Auditor, whereupon that
officer should be required to give no.
tice by publication or otherwise, of
the fact, to all persons who may have
received license to retail spirituous or
malt liquors in the county, not to
either sell or give such party liquors
of any description, under penalty of a
heavy fine for the first offense, and a
forfeiture eff license for the second.
The law might also require that a
list of such persons as afidavits may
have been filed against, as having be-
come habitual drunkards, shall be
kept in tie Auditors office, and that
a cop Of such list shall be furnished
to all persons to whom licenses may
be granted from time to time. As the
law now stands, it requires that a no
tice shall be given to each saloon
keeper. which involves much more
time and labor than most persons can
we'll afford to devote to such a pur-
| nose.

The BoltIng Compact.

The Lafayette journal has been
shown by Senator Stein the original
compact upon which the Senatorial
bolt was grounded. 1t reads as follows:
We, the undersigned Republican
members of the General Assembly of
Indiana, hereby repudiate the late
nomination of Will Cumback to the
United States S~enatorship, and mutu-
ally pledge ourselves to refuse u
votes to him at all times; and to use
our votes, influence, and utmost exer-
lions to secure the election Of an &C
cepta6le Republican to said office; but
in no eUeqtt casting UOte for q DEM
OcrGt."
We apprehend that this compact of
the boilers will one day plague the
inventors. Senator STEIN is not en-
dorsed by his constituents. His con-
Ducts approved by the Journal, be-
cause that paper is already IN bad
odor with the Republicans of the
District because of its efforts to elect
a bolter to Congress in 1866. It vel
comes Senator STEIN with the frater-
nal regard with which the miserable
always greet any additions to THEN
number. But the following dispatch
to the Cincinnati Gazette shows how
the Republicans of Lafayette regard
the conduct of their representative
who stood by Mr.. CUMBAoK:
Hon. Robert Breckenridge, the
Representative of Tippecanoe County
in the Legislature, was serenaded al
his residence, in this city, last eve.
ming. Hon. Il. w. Fry, on behalf OF
the Republicans of Lafayette, wei
coined Mr.. Breckenridge home, and
assured him Of the full endorsement
by the Republican party of his action
and votes on the Cumback Senatorial
question, and said: We here to
night pronounce before the world that
in you, sir, we have found "A noble
and honest man-ene who has never
betrayed our confidence" Mr.. Breck-
enridge, in responding, gave his rea.
sonsf for standing by thelcaueus nomina
tIOn, and assured his constituency tina.
while he represented them he hoped
his course would meet their approval
Chief Justice Robert @. Gregory be.
ing called out, reiterated the endorse
ment. and, in closing, pronounced the
benedietion, Well done, good and
faithful servant"
