Our American Magazines.

The marvellous beauty of the Illus
trated magazines of this country lie
attracting attention throughout the.
world. The edition of ScRIBNKR 10
England has doubled within few
months. The London correspondent
Of the Ne,o York Times says: ~The
whole lot OF magazine ANIMALS en-
glish) put togeather, are not equal in
pictorial art TO q single number OF
ScRIBNER's MONTHLY" But the price
at which our magazines are sold Ia
even a greater marvel. For example
single number OF ScRIBNER, The
Midwinter Number" just issued, has
a full-page frontispiece Portrait Of
Emerson, of rare excellence, and con-
tairs one hundred and sixty pages of
letter-press, with more than seventy
illustrations: many OF which are
works OF art such AS before the ad-
vent Of ScRIBNER appeared only In
gift works and purely art magazines,
and yet it is sold for 35 cents. The
subscribers for the current year, get,
in ScRIBNER, not only four OF these
full-paged portraits OF American
Poets, and nearly two thousand pages
of text equal to 5000 book pages) OF
the choicest current literature, with
more than 1000 illustrations, inclu-
ding complete novel, @Haworth's,"
by Mrs. Burnett, but shorter stories,
poems, reviews, descriptions OF travel,
biographical sketches. etc.. and also
the splendid series OF papers and pic
lures OF exploration in the great
South American empire OF Brazil, de-
livered free OF postage. and all for
four dollars.
In Chifdren's Periodicals, too, Amer
lea leads the world with ST, NICHOLAS.
Prof. Proctor, the astronomer, writes
from London: what O wonderful
magazine it is for the young folks

In noticing the fact last week, that
the Democracy at Indianapolis. on the
Sth OF January, ignored General jack
son, we said 1t looked as though they
were preparing to cut loose from the
National Democratic party and "go 1t
alone" They did this sooner than
we expected. Last Friday the Dem
ocrats OF the lower house OF the Indi-
ana Legislature declared by vote,
In the ratio OF ten to one, that they
were In favor OF the principles advo-
Gated by the Brick" Pomeroy wing
Of the National Greepback party.
There is no longer any Democratic
party in Indiana. Individual mem
bers OF the old party can now vote as
they please, and we expect to see
numbers unite with the Republican
party, the party TO which they ought
to belong. a nd with which they would
have voted ere this, but for little
prejudice.

General James Shields has been
elected to the United States Senate
from Missouri, to fill vacancy for
thes short term Of five weeks. This
makes the third time that General
Shields has been elected to the
United States Senate. each time from
q different state. In 1849 he was elect
ed from Illinois, and served six years.
He afterwards emigrated to Minnesota
and in 1857 was elected from that
state, serving two years. His cleo
ton from Missouri makes a Senator
from three states, and Is without a
parallel in the history OF distinguish
ed men.

The State municipal authorities OF

contempt OF Court. for not returning

boxes and ballots were not In posses

released ON writ OF habeas corpus,
but the Marshal, not being prepared
or so situated as to make immediate
application for such q writ, was CON-

Cannon. the Mormon delecate. Ia at

Cannon, the Mormon delegate, Is OF
work explaining the effect of the re-
cent decision OF the Supreme Court.
which subjects all who have lived In
polygamy since July. 1862. to fine
aud Imprisonment, and renders all
children illegitimate. Mr.. Cannon
wants q relief act passed that gives
amnesty for past offsnses under this
law, which the Government itself has
allowed to remain a dead letter, with
the provision that In future all shsll
be held strictly to account by the
Government under the criminal sec
tons Of the law. he says this will
gradually but effectually break up
polygamy. A number OF members
are in favor of adopting such law,
and we shall not be at all surprised
to find the law still remain unexe-
cuted, or at least evaded by tho

The handful OF Greenbackers In
the Legislature, forced the Demoora-
cy, Friday, to declare that they de-
manded the unconditional repeal
OF tho resumption act, and ia
vored the issuing OF thirteen
hundred and fifty millions OF legal
tender currency. This the Democra-
cy did to get two or three votes for
Voorhees,. 1t looks just like the
Democrats at Indianapolis have de-
termined to sacrifice everything In
order to prevent the nomination OF
Hendricks as the Democratic candi-
date for President In 1880. Mr.. Hen
bricks went 10 Washington to be out
OF the way when Voorhees, was cleo
ted to the United States Senate, SO
that it could not be charged against
him that he influenced the Legisla-
ture In favor o. the arch demegogue.
He now sees perhaps, that he had
better remained at home, the
Democrats having surrendered
to the Nationals, he can no longer ex-
pect to secure the nomination. with

Senator Reeve lie said TO have de-
elared In his speech in the Democrat
ic caucus Monday night, that in his
opinion 4 majority OF Democrats in
this state hold views at variance with
those OF Mr.. Voorhees,. The Journal
reporter says: 1T was whispered
that the action OF Reeve and his as
sociates In TIE caucus followed by
their quiet acquiescence in the result,
was simply done to teach Mr.. Voor-
hees lesson In party allegiance, and
to convey hint that when the ma
tional Democratic convention two
years hence should declare for hard
money he would be expected to fall
In line.

The Legislature is now fairly set
Ting down to work. Senator Eeeve,
after helping Lieutenant Gray In his
little game of "shenaDigan" In organ
izing the Senate, seems to have
walked up to realization OF the re-
sponsibilities resting upon him as the
Democratic leader in the Senate, and
seems to be taking stand In favor
Of honesty and reform. We shall al
ways be ready to accord to him honor
when we think it is due, and il he gets
of the track we shall let the people
know it. DR.. Confer started of right

dividing the State into Congressional
and Legislative districts. We have

foolish resolution adopted by the

raey was sold out to the Grecnback-
ers, but fear tho Dr.'s name is among
the ayes.

Some months sInce. Leon Lew

Some months since, Lem Lewis,
for many years a story writer for the
New York Ledger, sent us q notice OF
a new paper to be called the Pen Yam
Mystery. which he proposed to start
about the Let OF January. He pro-
posed to pay US literally for publish
ing the notice, but not liking the
proposition we declined 1t. Almost
all the papers In this vicinity, and in
fact throughout the United States;
published his prospectus and notices.
A few weeks ago We received the frat
number Of the Mystery. and after ex-
aiming IL, at once came to the CON-
clusion that Leon Lewis was insane.
1t appears now that there was method
in his madness. as it has stranspired
that he has sailed for Europe, taking
with him the pretty neice OF Harriet
Lewis and $4,000 received as sub
scrIption for the Mystery. and leay-
ing about fifty thousand dollars OF
unpaid debts Pen Yam. Leon Lewis
was a spiritualist, and the first and
only number OF his paper gave, we
think, unmistakable evidence OF q
diseased brain, oven though he has
shown himself shnrp enough to swim
die his creditors and patrons out Of
seventy thousand dollars.

Secretary Sherman has more than
realized his expectations In the sales
OF the per cent. bonds. It Is said
that he did not anticipate a sale OF
nero than million dollars daily, but
the demand was so great that during
tho first ten days OF the new year he
sold more than forty millions, aud the
demand still continues. These bonds
have thirty years to rub, and every
million dollars worth sold and 6 per
eent. bonds redeemed saves annually
TO the government twenty thousand
dollars in interest; thus the sales Of
the first ten days will reduce the In
terest account OF this year nearly a
million OF dollars. In 1S6S cur annu-
aLiDterest on the national debt was
one hundred and forty millions. now
1t Ia lees than hundred millions. A
saving OF a million dollars week
may not seem anything in the eyes
OF those who have SO bitterly opposed
Sherman's policy. but when the peo.
PIE look ut it dispassionately they viii
see that it il quite q sum. With thu

Judge Osborne, Representative
from EIkhsrt and Noble counties. has
introduced a bill In the Legislature
to abolish the system Of paying coun-
ty officers by fees providing for the
payment of all fees into tho county
treasury: fixing the salaries OF Clerks
and Treasurers at 81 900 each. in
counties having a voting population
Of three thousand; providing a grad
ual scale OF salaries in counties hav-
ing a larger population. The bill also
provides for changing the law gov
erning court fees. by compelling liti-
giants to pay for work as litigation
progresses, thus preventing the accu-
mutation OF costs. Some OF our ex-
changes, we think, have fallen into an
error in regard to the fees being
abolished. We do not understand
that Judge Osborne's bill abolishes
fees, but that it provides that they
shall be paid into the treasury. thus
increasing the county fund instead OF
enriching the officers. To abolish
fees would be to compel men who
never go into court to help pay the
expenses OF those who do, and COM
pei the poor, who have no real estate
to transfer or money to loan, to help
pay for the recor ding of deeds, mort.
cages, &c. This would be unjust
and we do not think Is contemplated
by the bill.
