THE latest news from the Ecumen-
ical. Council in session at Rome, is to
the effect that the Infallibility dogma
will be carried at an early day, and
that the doctrine Of the Syllabus will
be made binding on all members of
the Catholic Church. A respectable
minority of the Council-probably
one-fourth-will contest and protest,
but their opposition will be in vain.
1t is evident the Pope has his heart
set on the declaration Of infallibility,
and he is not the man to give way to
opposition. The effect of the en-
dorsement of Papal Infallibility by
the Council will be more marked
upon the Catholic Church than any
other. Whether the protesting Bish-
ops will quietly submit to the doc
trine, or attempt resistance to it within
the pales of the Church, can not be
foreseen. 1t is evident, however,
that the dogma will prove bone OF
contention over which it will be diff
cult for the Pope to maintain the
unity and quiet of his Church.

The wabash & Erie Canal SWlndle

The Wabash & Erie Canal SWindle.
Some months ago we called atten-
ton to the fact that scheme had
been matured and was in process of
execution to add several million dol
lars to the Indebtedness of our State
by having it take back the Wabash
Canal and assume the debt, in pay
ment Of which the Canal was once
accepted by the bondholders. We
were somewhat surprised at the apa-
thy and Indifference manifested by
our contemporaries with regard to
the matter, aud began to fear
that large majority Of them
had been "seen on the subject
prior to our article. The Indianaro-
lis correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Gazette repeated our warning, and
the indianapolis Mirror announced,
in addition, that the BRIGHTs were
largely interested in the scheme, and
that the Sentinel was purchased with
a view to the aid it might afford in
saddling the debt upon the State. 1t
also stated that secret meeting was
held at the house of Mr.. BRIGHT,
last Winter, at which Eastern con-
spirators met their Western asso-
ciates, and discussed prospects.
On the other hand. leading Demo
cratic in connection with a few Re-
publican. papers. pooh-poohed at the
whole thing as a silly cry of wolff
wolf! which had lost it terrors. The
Sentinel asserted that it was cry of
stop thief" when nothing had been
stolen.
We are gratifed to find the Tcrre
Haute E.cpYess, published in a city
where one of the most active of the
conspirators resides, has taken up the
subject and discussed it at length.
We second its proposition that res
olution be adopted by the Convention
on the I'D, as part of the platform
Of the Republican party, insisting
that the debt shall never be recog-
nized, and also renew the proposition
made by WALcoTT, at the last Legis-
lature, so amending our State Consti'
tutiou that the debt can never be
recognized. It is an unheard Of
thing, this recognition of debt thai
has once been paid, yet none the less
dangerous because of its novelty.
The Terre Haute Erpress gives
some particulars of the progress OF
the conspiracy that cannot fail to bt
interesting, if not positively alarm
ing. We copy its article in full, il
another place.

to have such printing executed as
may be necessary, and that in pursu-
ance of the recommendation of the

Furthermore, he will add to this
some statistics respecting the amount
of free matter mailed from some of
the leading post offices. The latter
information will, no doubt, be very
unacceptable, yet we cannot see why
it should be so.
The ultimate effect of the abolition
Of the franking privilege must be to
largely reduce the rates of postage.
Congressman who have investigated
the subject are so we'll satisfied en-
this point that Mr.. BINGHAM has in
trodueed bill into the House amend
atory of the laws relating to the rates
of postage, making letter postage two
cents and one additional cent for
every additional half ounce or frac-
ton thereof, and making postage on
newspapers or periodicals issued
daily, weekly, monthly, or at either
of the stated periods, one cent, where
not exceeding four ounces in weight
and enc cent for every additional
ounce or fraction thereof. Papers
circulating in the State or Territory
where published, or within one hun
dred miles Of publication to be ex
empt from postage, and exchanges be

on department letters and unseale,

for each additional half ounce o
fraction thereof; manuscripts intend
, ed for publication, not exceeding tw,
ounces in weight, to be three cents fo
: postage and one cent for every add

franking monstrosity, and the passag
? of Mr.. BISaHAM's bill will give tn

is any legal liability on the part of tie
State. Indiana is just emerging
from a heavy State debt. State
taxation has been very onerous,
of late years, and has only been
borne by the people, with cheer
fulness, from the fact that the State
debt was being rapidly diminished,
and there was prospect that the rate
of taxation would soon be materially
reduced. Now, a powerful and I'M
scrupulous =" ring Of spectators are
attempting to foist this enormous
canal debt on the State by gaining
control OF the next Legislature. We
do not believe that the rank and file
of the Democracy throughout the
State would approve this project if
they understood tin fact, we think
that the honest portion of the party
would reject it; but cunning leaders
of that party, by dexterous manipu-
lation, prevented the late Democratic
State Convention from denounc-
ing it. Several Republican County
Conventions have recently denounced
the scheme, and we hope that the
State Convention of the I'D inst. will
take ground against the measure and
go to the people pledged against it.
1t behooves the people of Indiana to
look well to every attempt, come from
what source it may, to increase the
State Indebtedness. The public bur
dens are already heavy enough. All
plundering schemes should be stop
ped, and further issue of State bonds
should cease. The people of the
State regard the Wabash & Erie
Canal matter a fnality, as it was
settled, by legislation, more than
twenty yeats ago, and will not be dis.
posed to resurrect it from the grave
of the past to satisfy the hordes Of
hungry spectators of the present day

sentiDg the Cincinnati Chamber of
Commerce, is visiting Rockport and
Greensboro, during the present week
to examine into the propriety of Gin
cinnati extending aid to the Rockport

Russellville Railroads. From private
sources we learn that many of the
shrewdest business men of Cincinnati
regard these enterprises with great
favor, and advocate the appropriation
by their city of a liberal sum Of
money to insure their completion.

such statistics as are published, they
would discover that our city is known

The Evansville Hospital is mainly

their headquarters. That the hospi-
tai ranks tenth among all the hospi-
tails of the United States. in the

Of our shipping interests and the

Mr.. Hammnnd,s Books.

Much inquiry is made in regard to
to the titles and character of the
books published by Rev. E. p. HAM
MoND, aud we have thought it mat
ter of interest and value to many of
our readers, both in this city and the
surrounding country, to give brief
notice of them. He has written in
all between thirty and thirty FIVE
books, for adults and children, most
of which have been published in
Great Britain, but quite a number
have been published in this country.
He has no interest in their sale, and
has written them only with a desire to
do good for the great cause in which
he is engaged, and on that account
we are the more free in noticing them,
especially as there is a great desire
on the part of so many to know more
of them. To those who have not been
permitted to hear him preach they
will convey a good idea of his method

rs Mr.. Church did not respond and no one present
had the minutes the reading Of them was dispensed

anu said 1t would no doubt be much better If there
was an annual dinner something was said about
Professor Dwight and the trustees arranging to give
dinner OF at least such light refreshments as
strawberries and cream, but no one seemed to know
exactly what the arrangement Was One OF the

his predecessor the sum OF five dollars, and he had
the honor 10 hand In to the President the Increased

natural causes, and consequently Of no public i'm
portance. One was that Of an infant whose death
occurred early on Wednesday morning, and for two
days the unfortunate mother had been kept
oscNAtsng between the priest and physician
TO secure burial certificate, and when the remains
OF the child became absolutely offensive from decom-
poslIOn She found her way to the C0roners once to
ask that an inquest be held on the baby. Had the
mother received correct information at rst to the
proper course Tor her to pursue she would have
been saved much time and trouble, besides be-
ing speedily relieved OF the presence OF an
offensive corpse. Persons losing friends by death
enrust the matter OF procuring certificate to the
officiating undertaken, who oftentimes Omits that
portion or his duty till the last moment and trusts
to luck TO fnd coroner. In this way funeral SER

and unnecessary expense incurred saying nothing

are subjected.
