A HAPPY THoueHT.--Count Jonbert, who
recently died, once attacked Marshal Souit
with number of epigrams, and the Marshal,
meeting him at reception of the court of
Louis Philippe, turned his back on him just
as the Count was coming forward to speak to
him, and this in the presence of thirty people.
" Monsieur 10 Maresohal, I" said Joubert, quick
ly, " have been told that YOU considered me
one Of your enemies. see with pleasure that
it is not So" "Why not, STRIP said Soult
Because" said Joubert, uyou are not in
the habit of turning your back to the enemy. y
The Marshal held out his hand, and the
Counts success was complete.

AINEW FUEL.

The proposition to snpersede coal by the
use of carbonic gas extracted from chalk has
been subjected to practical test by its inven-
tor, and with very satisfactory results. Elk
tracted and applied to anthracite, 1t produces
i strong flame and heat, and at so slow a rate
of combustion that a good fire was maintain
ed for twenty mine hours in furnace which
heats church with only fifty-six pounds OF
anthracite and an equal quantity OF chalk
mixed with it during that time. During the
last twenty-four hours, moreover, the lire was
untouched. Through the aid of this remark
able property of chalk the Ignite known as
shale may be used for she production of an IL
Illuminating gas to an extent which will appear
incredible. Even the coarsest clay Of this
singular formation is full of gas, and the ex-
periments made in England, though imper-
feet, show that one ton of this substance, to-
gether with due proportion of chalk, will
yield as large an amount Of gas as eight tons
of ordinary coal. From these tests the inven-
tor argues that London will be warmed and
lighted at a fifty per cent cheaper rate that
the smoke, dust and other nuisance might be
abolished that every goodsized country
house and every village might be lighted with
gas and the kitchen fire, with some slight
alter alton in the crate, might supply the
house with light. Finally, Ignite and anthra.
cite beds would become valuable property, and
chalk would be exported as coal is now. The
English papers say that the prospect seems al
most too good to be true.

THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL TUESDAY MARCH 1875

travagant loans, let the party bear the odium
of its folly. The attempt of the Senate
to force a high tax levy upon
democratic state government, with the de-
sign OF bringing disgrace upon the party in
power is mean partisan trick, too con-
temptible for any serious discussion. The
fact that there are debts contracted by repub-
lican state officers waiting to absorb the sur
plus revenue which it is hoped that dema-
cratic House can be compelled to provide
for, renders the whole thing worthy of set
ofdemagogues but unworthy OF legislators.
Let it be distinctly understood that the
public recognizes the game which has been
played for sixty days between the House
and Senate,in which one body has attempted
to throw the responsibility for unpopular
legislation upon the other. Let it
be understood likewise that the pub
lie don't want the same con-
test 10 continue during the special session.
If the present legislature can not agree upon
temperance measures, or a proper fee and
salary bill, let those and kindred questions
be postponed until a new legislature can
deal with them. The present
legislators have had a fair chance for
settling those great questions, and have
made miserable failure, and they should
now devote themselves to the work which
they must do, apd which they can agree
upon. During the performance of that Ia
bor,let them remember the sweets oftheir dis
tant homes and speed the plough. 1t is to be
regretted that the governor, in calling the
special session, did not possess the power
to specify the subjects which it was designed
to have it deal with. In the constitutional
convention he advocated granting to the ex-
ecutive the power to make such a
specific statement of the purposes for
which he at any time convened the
general assembly. and it would seem that
his political foresight was by no means at
fault. However, the limitations which the
constitution forbid him to make in his pro-
clamation are set very clearly in the minds
of the people, and our law makers may
rest assured that they are not to go back to
the first of January and take fresh start.

regard TO the tax levy and the appropriation
bills. The republican senators are, in one
sense, perfectly justified in taking a
party stand on such issues as the
temperance law and refusing TO bulge an
inch TO meet any compromise offered by
the majority of the House. The result in
such cases is simply deadlock, and both
parties can assume the responsibility of 60
ing to their constituents for endorsement Of
their obstinate fidelity to principle. There
are always plenty of people who dolnot think
half a loaf better than no bread. But in
regard to the appropriations and the tax
levy the case is entirely different. Those
measures originate with the House and are
designed for the support of democratic
state government. II they were unusually
large the republican majority of the Senate
might be justified in withstanding
them, but when the only fault
which the ruling party in the Senate
can find with them is, that they are too
small, the defeat of all legislation. in order
: for municipal corporations, this bill makes
no provision for the usual qualifications
of the officers. They are not re-

ficers, they become clothed with the author
ity of city officers, but they are not city Off

ers in the county. If they belong to the
class of township officers, then the bill

ship of their jurisdiction, as required in
section 6, article 6, of the constitution. !"
The truth is that, while the design of the bill
was clearly to further the organization of a
camp-meeting system complete in all its de-
tails, with each camp containing authority
within itself 70 r protection against reck
less intruders who are apt to visit
such places out of idle curiosity or NAL
ice, the law was so formed as
to grant too much power. In pursuing the
design of securing the peace and order OF
the meetings the trainers of the bill lost
sight of the rights of society, as a whole.
On a careful consideration of the matter they
will doubtless be ready to acknowledge that
fact, and accept the action of Gov. Hen
bricks.

by a personal appeal the confidence OF
the people. He travelled in some state with
the military, naval and civil heroes Of the
war in his company. He was greeted
with hooting and ieering where
ever he appeared, and at some
places even riot and bloodshed fol-
lowed his footsteps. Everywhere as he
spoke calls were made for the favorite OF
the hour, Grant. Since that time the great
soldier has received the presidency
at the hands of the people, and so
abused the gift that his two terms will
go down to posterity "a among the most
disgraceful periods of our history. The
gratitude of nation which then took de-
light in doing him reverence has been worn
away in the forgiveness of many
follies, and if he should go swing
ing round the circle now with Senator
Johnson in his trair, it is prosable that
the very crowd that yelled for ULYSSES" on
the former trip would hiss him from the

The special Session .

The Sentinel has already given a detailed
statement of the closing scenes of the regu-
lar session of the legislature, setting forth
sharply the action of each branch of the gen.
eral assembly and charging home upon the
Senate the chief responsibility for the failure
of the winters work. Monday morning new
topic for discussion was presented in the
proclamationof Governor Hendricks. con-
vening an extra session of the legislature at
9 o'clock to morrow morning.
This action was rendered necessary by the
adjournment of the regular session without
passing indispensable measures, such as the
revenue and general appropriation bills. As
a special session was unavoidable, there can
be but one opinion in regard
to the ACCESSIBILITY of calling it at
once, before the members of the legis-
lature have time'to disperse to their homes.
The regular session has left all the impor-
tant measures just on the eve of completion,
and there is nothing fer the special session
to do but organize speedily under the old
officers and with the old committees, and
take up the unfinished business at the point
where il was left at midnight on Saturday. In
this way the legislature will have
an opportunity to redeem it
self by three or four days of activity
from the reproach of utter failure. Governor
Hendricks doubtless contemplates short,
sharp and decisive extra session, closing
with the week; and il he does not, The peo-
pie of Indiana certainly do, and they will
not be apt to have patience with anything
else. Let no senator or representative inn
agine that he is entering apon the-legislative
term OF forty days allowed by law. If the
Senate had continued in session Saturday
night and simply stopped the clock as has
hitherto been the custom, another hours
work would have prevented the call Jg of
the special session. Aware of that fact the
people will look on in no very gentle spirit,
If the business that required but one even
ing's honest labor be spun out for another
month.
Monday, which Is formally considered the
last day of the regular session, the governor
might take occasion to send TO the legisla-
ture some tolerably broad hints upon the
misconduct OF the past two months, and a
few suggestions as to the work of the coming
week. Should he do so, he would certainly
speak as the representstiveoft the united pub
lie sentiment of the state. One thing seems
very clear in regard to the special session,
to-wit: that the republican majority of the
Senate can not decently continue to main
tain the position which it has assumed in

Fighting the devil with fire is not gener-
ally very successful sort of combat; there
fore the legislature OF Virginia is entering
upon an Improbable struggle in the enact
ment of series of state laws to cOunteract
the evils of the civil rights DILL.
The defect of that measure is that
it imposes new and unusual reme-
dies in favor of certain classes in cases
wherein the law as already existing gave
good cause of action. Instead of allowing
negroes who are refused entrance to hotels
or theeters the same remedy that lies IN
case of white people refused the same
privileges, exorbitant fines and punishments
are created and jurisdiction is given to IN
usual tribunals. The inevitable result must
be the prosecution of suits by worthless: peo-
pie, merely forthe booty involved in each sue
cessful prosecution. To counteract the unwise
provisions of the civil rights bill Virginia
enters the field of special legislation. 1t is
proposed to punish all parties max
ing disturbances at hotels, theaters and
other public places. in clamoring for
accommodation after the proprietor has re-
fused it for any good and sufficient reason.
As in the civil rights bill a reward is held
out to the party prosecuting. BY making
number of clever regulations as TO reserved
seats in theaters and public conveysnces and
holding fine and imprisonment IN terTOreB1
over colored people the Virginians hope to
set the congressional measure for raising
race quarrels at defiance. In some Southern
cities hotel keepers are canceling their hotel
licenses and going into business as pro-
prietors OF private boarding houses. In Gin
cinnati a sharp publican has declared that
the new law will make no change in his
business. He says that the civil rights bill
can not dictate to him where no shall put
his guests to sleep or in what room they
shall dine. The truth seems 70 be that
heworld can wag along just as usual if the
law be met in proper spirit.

TUESDAY. MARCH 9.

Some time since the House passed
q bill reducing the number and remunera-
ton Of prison directors, and sent the same
to the Senate. The bill having very mystic
riously disappeared from the files Of that
body, the House suspended the rules and
passed similar measure by an overwhelm-
ing majority. Inasmuch as the Senate has
had occasion to appoint committee on
stolen bills, and also make the abstraction
OF bills felony, it is hoped that this partic-
Mar bill will be protected to its passage.
