The EXAMINATION of the two Greeks who were
arrested on the charge of the murder of Chas.
Strobel, at Michigan Bluff on the 23d of last
month"; commenced one week dgo last wednes-
day and continued until the following Saturday
afternoon. Some thirty witnesses were exam
ined, and the testimony being all taken down
naturally made the examination tedious. The
evidence, which is very voluminous, is all cir
cumstantial, though quite unfavorable to one OF
the parties, who was bound over to appear be-
fore the Grand Jury in the sum of $4,000. No
charges being sustained against the other he
was released

New Temperance RilI.

The House yesterday passed the
bill known in Legislative circles as
Butts temperance bill but better
known as the Ohio Law, it being
almost identical with the law now
in force in Ohio, Illinois, and Iowa.
The main features of the bill are
first, that it prohibits the issuing
of license to any person to sell
liquor except on the petition of a
majority of the residents of the
township, ward, or precinct in which
he desires to sell; secondly, it makes
the seller of liquor and the proper
ty where it is sold, responsible for
all damage done by the sale there
of and authorizes the wife or other
party injured, to bring suit; and
thirdly, itmakes the selling of liquor
to a minor or habitual drunkard a
punishable offence. The bill is q
stringent one, but its friends claim
that the rapid growth of intemper-
ance and the widespread evil caus
ed by the unrestrained sale of liquor
demand stringent remedy. Wheth
er it is wise and feasible in all re
spects, time and trial alone can de
termine; but as it is pretty certain
to pass the Senate, we shall have I
chance to witness its practica
operation.-Ind. Journal, Feb. 6.

The Buriington (Iowa) Hawksye dis
courses Of the repeal Of the ranking
privilege a. follows: The brilliant idea
Of forcing the Government to pay Its
own postage on pablo documents and
official lsttsss. And papers. deserves .
leather medal. The gist Of it is that in
stead Of doi.g its own work for itself for
nothing, it stops to take three cents ont
of one pocket TO put it into another, and
hire boy to watch the transfer. An
enormous number Of stamps must be
man ufactured to meet the daily demands
of Government machinery all over tn
land. The manufacture Of these stamps
costs money and Uncle Sam must pay
it. The Treasury, the Postcfiice, end
the department using the stamps must
have clerkg to keep watch Of the money
and the stamps-and, Sam must pay
their bills also. For instance, the Treas
ury furnishes to tho Patent Office .
sum II money for postage. The Patent
Office goes over to the Postofics and
spends that money for stamps. And
the Pos tofiice turns the. money over to
the Treasury % part OF its earnings.
And the Treasury hiss to hire clerk TO
keep the account with the Patent Office !;
and the Patent Office has to hire clark
to keep its accounts with the Treasury.
So the money goes round and round like
the white horse in the CIRCUS. and every
time the errand boy licks stamp the
public Treasury is depleted by just the
cost thereof If the law required an
officer to throw three cents, psblic
funds. int, the river every time he writes
an official letter, and then sends the let
ter free, the Governments would save
money. FE

WHAT CREDIT MOBILIZE MANS.

From the New York Evening Post.
A correspondent asks US to de
fines the Credit Mobi!ier. Its de-
finition is strictly personal credit.
and when applied to a company,
means enc which invests cal i,al
in personal property - disiin-
ouished from a credit foncier.
where the investigation is in lsnd.
The great French Credit Mcbilicr
company is about twenty years old,
and was created under Government
sanction, for the purpose OF inves-
ting capital in banking, in con-
tracts Tar work on public improve
ments in stocks and other public
property. It is q joint stock COM
pany with a large capital, and for
years dill q large and paofitable
business, which Of lste has fallen
of. The name and object Of the
American Credit Mobilier had this
origin though its business. so

to contracts with the Uniou Pacific
Railroad Company. A French
writer said Of the French Credit
Mobilier that It was the greatest
gambling enterprise, of all Europe.

BoND NEGOTIATION. = Below we
give the Report of the Finance
Committee of the Council, regard
ing the, disposal Of City Bonds,
and it contains plain statement of
facts, and. needs no explanation
further than to say that, for all the
trouble Messrs-. Morrison, Blanch-
ard & Co., have been put to in as
sisting to secure the sale of those
Bonds, they have received the sum
of One Hundred Dollars. If this
is "fatness in this negotiating bust
ness" we should like to see where
the LEAN comes in:
The Committee on Finance, who
were instructed to issue and sell
city bonds in the sum of $50, 900,
for the use of the general fund re-
ported as fellows: That bonds
could not be sold here, and were
sent through Morrison, Blanchard
& Co., to Winslow, Lanier & Co.,
of New York, who disposed of
them at ON average price of $97.85
per cent, which after paying 1000
Tor commission, engraving and ex-
press charges, netted $29, 1856, which
is equal to 944 per cent net making
the rate of interest direct 81 per
cent but counting the loss from
par in the sale as additional inter-
est to be made good by the time
the bonds mature, the rate would
be 9 per cent. While the negotiation
was not quite so. good as thecom-
mittee hoped for, it is, after paying
commissions and charges, still one
per cent. per annum better than
could be done at home. Accompa-
nying the report, were letters from
Winslow Lanier & Co., and Morris
SON Blanchard & Co., giving par
ticulars a. to the condition of the
money market, and the consequent
delay and difficulty OF disposing o.
the bonds &c. Peterson moved
that the report be accepted and
the motion was carried.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 4. The
Senate, to-day, passed the bill to
appropriate $649O0 for the Purdue
University at Lafayette, and the
bill providing hr the taxation Of
national banks for municipal pur.
poses.
In the afternoon the Democrats
caught the Republicans in a minori
ty and voted down the House con.
current resolution indorsing Presi-
dent Grants Indian policy.
The Senate also concurred in the
House joint resolution denying that
this State is under any obligation
to the State of Ohio for the failure
to maintain the Wabash and Erie
Canal in a navigable condition.
HOUSE. -The following bills were
I96d on the table:
Relating to the location of coun-
ty seats.
To abolish the grand jury says
tenn sa. So
Authorizing notaries public to
solendnfze marriage contracts.
The following bills were passed:
To fix the time for holding courts
in the Second Judicial Circuit.
Making a misdemeanor to cut down
or destroy without license any tree
on public or private grounds.
To place officers of macadamized
and gravel road companies, who
may have become creditors to such
companies, on an equality with
other companies
Defining what counties shall con.
stitute the Fifteenth Judicial Cir.
cult This bill, in effect, repeats
the bill on the same subject, passed
at the special session.
The bill to prevent stock from
running at large, was lost.
A bill to authorize widows who
may marry a second time to alien
ate real estate received from the
first husband in favor of heirs, was
indefinitely postponed.
Writing from Indianapolis to the
Connersville Times, Mr.. James Lit
tie says:
"a number Of temperance bills

liquors and holding him RESPONSE
BILE for their effect have been intro
duced. Our divorce laws are un
dergoing an oyerhauling and it is
indicated that there will be q long
er residence within the State re-
quired Of applicants for divorce, and
the clause giving discretionary pow
er to the judges in the premises
will be striker out. Another bill
proposing to abolish tho Common
Pleas Courts and dividing the State
into thirty-six judicial circuits, and
requiring these courts to hold four
terms in the year and sit as long as
business requires, is under consider
alton. The Senate has got into
good working order and seems dis
posed to thoroughly canvass every
bill before it acts in the premises
Our Lieutenant Governor was a
little awkward at first and still lacks
that aptitude in conducting the
business of the Senate common to
men uhaccustomed to participate
in the deliberations of Legislative
bodies. But he is rapidly improv
ing, and his decisions meet with
general appropriation. His tone Of
enunciation and manner Of address
promise complete success in con
Quoting the affairs of the Senate.

The old eastern Question the
bugbear of the last two or three
generations, of European statesmen
has reared it's head. Russia in
pursuance of her policy Of expension
has finally come in contact with
English power in Asia. She was al
lowed, without hindrence, to annex
the whole area of Northern Assiatic
deserts, but when she essays to
battle her feet in the warm waters of
the Indian Ocean she meets net
work of civilized interests which
has time and again repealed her.
It is entirely useless for her to at.
tempt to hold her own in Asia
against the developed forces of the
Anglo-Indian empire. Her re.
sources are vast, but her internal
communications are too scanty to
persist in their being welded with
success in forward movement
From her military position on the
Caspian it will be impossible fol
her to throw an army with re
qrisite supplies across the deserts
of Turkestan sufficient to meet the
10000 Sepoys and Afghans thai
England can bring against her.
