Any report that the senate committee
appointed to cooperate with the house COM
mittee in arranging for rome plan to count
the electoral vote. are IN favor of any equi-
table and fair proposition, we do net believe,
simply because such a proposition would be
certain to elect Mr.. Tilden, and Oliver p.
Morton being on that committee, 1t ID
morally impossible for said committee &c
come to any fair and equitable basis on that
proposition. Mark that. 1t is as true as Cos
pei. We think we know Oliver
p. Morton, and he is morally
incapable of reaching any such
conclusion. II he has given up the presi-
dent of the senate plan, he is for
delay until after March 4. That will get lid
of nlden and Hayes both, II this new plot
works successfully. Perhaps, like the in
ventor of the guillotine, who lost his head
by his own invention, Oliver p. might "slip
sup" somehow in this little game he is
arranging. and some fine morning might
take his toast and read the New York Times
in Fort Lafayette; who knows? That would
be sensation. The Sentinel would write
Oliver P.'s political obituary with much
pleasure. 1t would be like this: THE
smsrtest rascal of the group" Vale.

LIBEL.

The Hon Edwin T. Lane. representative
from Hendricks county, went into the
''lIbel' business yesterday with rush and
clear up to his eyes. His bill, however,
being about the length of a snipe's, sticks
out conspicuoasly-
The Hon. Mr.. Lane is evidently cognizant
of some pretty rough cases of libel and pro-
poses TO have matters put in shape for ade-
quate punishment But $4,000 fine and
ten years imprisonment for charging a
man with any of the crimes that
Mr.. Lane catalogues in his bill
are penalties altogether too light There
are often found In the swrmps and morasses
of society class of monsters, falsely called
human, who are guilty of the crimes which
Mr.. Lane specifies in his bill, but
when charged with them, they forthwith
commence obtaining the proof of their in
rsoeence. If they have money the task is an
easy one. In such cases Mr.. Lane proposes to
go for the principal editor with fine of
$50, 600 and ten years in the penitentiary, if
Lane can get his bill through the
black list of fornication and adultery will
be drawn out to immense lengths, and few
men unless they have the dead wood on
the offenders, will dare to open their
mouths or make any effort to purify society.
Certainly, Mr. Lane, your bill will protect
the class of men or devils who commit the
crimes you mention, and make society so
much more like hell than at present, that
the devil will be likely to present you with
a gold headed cane.

numerous other articles poorer than
he was when he arrived in town, some
light fingered gentleman having got that
amount of money aud the other trinkets
from him. Brown applied to Chief of
Police AFTER for assistance IN helping
hun to find his money and property, and
after search OF several hours, they sue.
ceeded in recovering the revolver, which

the money could not be traced.
