Especial Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 12.-The
case against R. J. Bright, State Printer,
was taken up in the Criminal Court again
this afternoon. The understanding was
that jury would be selected from large
crowd of interested spectators, and during
the whole day the courtroom was crowd
ed The work of empannelling the jury
| occupied the entire afternoon. The regu-
lar panel and a special yenire of twenty
| four were exhausted save three. The
jury is regarded as a very fair and honest
one in political complexion. They are
equally divided, six Republicans and six
Democrats. The witnesses present were
called and sworn, and the court then adj
journed until tomorrow morning. The
witnesses for the State consist of the
present State officers and a number of en-
ployes in the Sentinel Office, together with
the notary before whom Mr.. Bright made
the affidavit for the defense. Mr.. Bright
has summoned the ex-State printers fol-
the past six years, w. R. Holloway,
Samuel NJ. Douglass, and A. H. Conner
and the ex-State officers for the same
time. The names of his witnesses fully
indicate the line of defense to be relied
upon

A Most Horrible Tragedy.

The Wabash Republican contains the
following account Of the horrible affair
mentioned in recent dispatches:
Yesterday morning Mrs. Mary VI. Fin
ley, living on the Chippewa Gravel Road,
about five miles northwest of this city, in
a fit of insanity, murdered her three chill
dren by cutting the Threats of the eldest
two, aged six and eight years, with a
butcher knife, and crushing the head of
her babe, aged some two months. The
Oldest was a girl, the other two boys.
Last spring she buried her husband, and
her neighbors have at times since thought
her mind unsettled, but regarded her as
inoffensive. She had recently made an
occasional remark that, these neighbors
now see, indicated the horrible act which
yesterday morning she perpetrated. Even
with her there was a method in her mad
ness, for she sent away step daughter
| older than the other children, on some
errand, before proceeding with her bloody
work No effort at concealment of heI
crime was made by the murderess. The
body of the infant was found in the front
door yard, and those Of the other two
children in the road, about fifty yards dis
tant The girl attempted to escape, bu
was overtaken and beaten down with a
club before the knife was used
Mrs. Finley was arrested and placed il
the country Jail last evening. She ex
presses no regret for the crime, but think:
it was herduty to commitit as they ''wer
all devils"
A coroners jury was impannelled and
an inquest held yesterday, but no official
report had been made up to the time 0
going to press, although they found thu
!; facts substantially as stated above.

Omaha Correspondence.

OMAHA, NEB., Sept. 10, 1871.
EDS REPUBLICAN: The only matter of
Importance of which l have to write this
week, is concerning the New Constitu-
ton. Other matters are trivial before
this all-absorbing question. The discus
sion grows hotter and higher as the end
of the campaign approaches. The height
to which the discussion has arisen is at
tributable to the fact that many are in.
clined to call the new constitution "big
thing and other vulgar and bad names.
Now, | am not inclined to call it big
thing" nor would | call the instrument
"hidcous," as some do. Not at ALL Nei-
Their am disposed to attribute to it such
a wonderful degree of inconsistency !"
but to tell the truth, it is a document Of
exceedingly developed proportions, and
while it not exactly hideous, the incon-
gruity of its parts certainly gives it a spec
| terlike appearance. You wonder what
| all this means, and ask if this is really the
document the gentlemen of the conven-
ton have submitted to the consideration
of the people. Yea, verify. l will not at
tempt to give complete outline of this
instrument; a reference to few of its
most important features will suffice to
show you what it is. The principal OBJ
lection to it is the enormous expense to
which the State will be subjected in the
event of its adoption. In the first place
it provides for the taking Of the census
four times between now and $780, Now
the actual cost of one taking of the cen
sus has been estimated at the very low
figure of $4,000. This will incur an ex
pense Of $1,000 for taking the census il
the next nine years. The increased taxa
ton that this will necessitate is a matter
Of vital importance to the people, consid
ering the other necessary expenses. AND
again, the number of Senators will be in
creased from thirteen to nineteen, an,
representatives from thirty seven to fifty
seven, and with the power to increas
hundred respectively. Their salaries ar
fixed at four dollars per day, and no limi
to the session. Just imagine the amour

legislators sitting the whole year round,
and the State paying about four hundre

The Northwest Conference.
FIRST DAYS PROCEEDINGS.

FIRST DAYS PROCEEDINGS.
CRAwFoRDsvILLE, IND, Sept. s, 1871.
The Northwest Indiana Conference met
in its twentieth annual session in this city
September &, A. NJ, and presided over by
Bishop Ames. DIR. j. c. Reed was elected
Secretary, and Luther Taylor and John
L. Boyd assistants The usual commit
tees were formed, and the Conference
proceeded to the examination of charac-
ter. The whole list of effective elders
was accomplished before adjournment at
noon. When the name of James John
son, Presiding Elder of Laporte District,
was called, the Bishop said, solemnly and
slowly; "The uniform good character of
Brother Johnson, moving through a num-
Der of years of useful labor, had found
ripple. The preachers of his district
had directed him to say while there was
nothing perhaps against his moral charac-
ter, yet there were some things could not
well be overlooked" While the Bishop
was talking Brother Us spectacles re-
quired a great deal of adjusting, his head
needed rubbing, and; in fact, there seemed
to be with him general disturbing of the
equilibrium. The Bishop continued in
the most solemn manner to say it was
more regarding time; that his brethren
thought he needed to be ,catched in this
regard. Suiting the action TO the word he
opened a little box containing one of those
beautiful gold cascd Walthams from J. H
Colclazer's, of your city.
| 1t is hardly necessary to say the brother
was completely taken aback.
In the morning the Conference sermon
was preached by Rev n. L. Brakeman, o
Lafayette.
The reading of ]. L. Smiths final re
port as commissioner for dividing thu
funds of the old Indiana Conference
Preachers Aid Society was made the &C

Some years ago a five-year old boy, af-
ter saying his evening prayers, asked
Mother, will father go TO heaven when
he dies:" t." Yes, hope he will do not
doubt he will. Why do you ask;'' Oh,

the subject seemed to have faded from the
child's mind. But it soon dropped on,
again. Are you sure, mother, that faith
er will go to heaven when he dies = Eyes,
my child, do not doubt it; but why do

for moment, and then broke out with
"Golly, what whopping angel he'll
