Lieutenant Governor sexton.

The indianapolis correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette pays the fol-
lowing compliment to Lieutenant
Governor Sexton:
As presiding officer, Lieutenant
Gov. Sexton is just the man to preside
over such Senate. A body of urbane
gentlemen want courteous, genial,
and accurate presiding officer. who
has great personal dignity, who can
command the respect of men, and, if
need be, can control set of excited
dcbaters and bitter partisans, by as
firm hand and in as just a manner
as general commands an army. Ger
tainly the Senate of Indiana has such
a man in Lieutenant Governor Sex
ton He speaks easily, rapidly, and
accurately; decides quickly and cor
rectly, and maintains the dignity of
the chair at all times without effort
have yet to hear any fault found
with his decisions or with his treat
ment of any member. In his rulings
he is blind to the existence of parties,
and dispenses his 'recognitions' with
out regard to a Senator's political,
mental, social, or financial effort.
As a speaker he is ready and witty.
However quickly or unexpectedly a
question is sprung upon him. he is
prompt to respond. At the late ban
1uet given by United States Senator
elect Mcdonald. he made the happiest
speech of the occasion. His intro
ducing to the Senate of Generals
Burnside and Buckner, although
wholly unconsidercd. was nicely word
ed and exceedingly appropriate. This
gift has gwen him great advantage
over his opponents at the bar, where
he has won an enviable reputation as
a lawyer and strong debater. He
never lets GO" said Senator Sleeth to
me the other day, AS those OF us who
have practiced with him know to our
cost"
In person, Gov Sexton is tall and
we'll developed, has a strong, good
face, tightly compressed mouth, set
about with gray mustache and whis.
kers neatly trimmed. kind eye spark
ling with good humor. and broad
forehead surmounted with black hair
sprinkled with gray All in all, he is
the finest looking man in the Senate,
and among the ablest.
1t is whispered among Republicans,
north and south, that this man is to
be the next Republican nominee for
Governor. And why not? more
popular man does not train with the
Republican party, while few men in
the State possess a wider acquaintance.
And wherever he is thoroughly known,
there he is the most popular. Could
a better choice be made? The people,
so far as heard from opine not.

The following report of the man
agement of the financia affairs of the
road, is very satisfactory. and we trust
its prosperity in the future may in
crease four fold and thus compensate
its enterprising and public spirited
projectors and stockholders:
TO the Stockholders of the Richmond Street
Railway:
We, your committee, appointed at
your meeting, August J: 1874, to ex-
anime INTO the financial condition of
the company, report thae we have ex-
amined the accounts of the receipts
and disbursements of monies received
since the road has been ill operation,
and are of the opinion that the ac-
counts of the same have been careful
ly kept, showing from the books that
some six or seven hundred dollars
were realized over and above the run
ming expenses the first year. which
surplus was properly applied to the
payment of the companys indebted
ness. We are also OF the opinion that
the financial management in operating
the road has been done with care and
economy We do not advise an as
sessment against the stockholders, but
recommend that the officers press the
collection of de BITS, dispose Of surplus
real estate and realize from the assets
as rapidly as possible, and apply the
proceeds to the payment of the debts
of the company.

In this country, as an article of com

year was about twenty.f five dozen. Since
that small beginning the trade has in.

to over 6O9, 900 dozen-550,O00 dozen Of
which are made in Fulton County, N. Y
About 100000 dozen'of these are made
from deer-skins which take about S75,.
