two months, constantly associating with the
worst classes. Finally the lightning struck.

To the Editor OF the Free Press and Times
To-day everybody is on the eia rIre 10
learn the latest returns from Ohio and lndi-
ara and frequent complaints are heard that
no arrangement was made to secure these
returns.
In the absence Of Speaker Stewart, Mr.
Woodbridge presided in the House when
the majority of the bills introduced this
morning were referred to the committee on
claims. In the Senate eight bills IN all
had been introduced at adjournment, this
morning, but none have yet been reported
from the committees.
The committee on claims viii have Their
full share Of work in disposing Of the numer-
Gus bills referred % them 1t is not thought
that the bill for the adjustment Of capital
punishment, which was introduced in the
House, this morning, viii receive favor
able report from the Judiciary committee.
\ bill introduced by Mr.. Eaton, Of Dan
vile, reems likely 10 cause considerable dl--
cussion, its object being to provide for the
taxation OF bank surplus. 1t has already
been met with determined opposition.
Another subject which i sure to excite
quite & frrment Is that Of the Insane Asylum
/ No special committee on the subject has yet
been appointed IL the House, and hence the
committee in the Senate have taken no steps
in the matter Of investigation. Dr. Atwater
/ Is here. ready to substantiate whatever he
/ has affirmed IN his report
Friday has been set apart a. the day for
the regular visit to the Reform School.
While some question even the advantage OF
such a tour Of inspection, Others are disatis-
fed with the dag, which, coming late IN
the week, will furnish an excuse for ad-
iournment til next Tuesday, and thus tend
to retari business.
The real work Of the SESSION Is, OF course
to be done by the committees, of which those
on claims and the Judiciary have already be-
gun to consider the bills referred to them

Here Indiana Is set down, not a Repub-

Virginia Is set down not as doubtful, but rs
Democratic, and they have been so set down
by many Republican papers. No Republican
paper, that we have seen, has said that H.
diana was essential to Republican success :;
on the contrary, many, the FREE PREss in-
cluded, have said again and again that
we could elect Hayes without Indiana.
The elections thus far held have verified
the figures given in the above table, and
we see little to change in them, on the
present outlook.
If We were TO reeast the table We should
take California and Connecticut from the
Democratic column and place them among
the doubtful States There is fair chance
that both of them will go Republican. We
do not believe that Mr. Tilden can carry
New York by any possibility And add
ing New York to the Republican column.
we can give the Democrats every doubtful

fion that Hon. Wm. A Wheeler had beer
sued By a railroad OF which be was trus-
