Mr.. White that Judge Chisholm was
killed on account OF a family teud. -

that Chisolm was shot down in cold
blood in his own house, by gang OF
Democrats for no other reason than that
he was Repu blican, and one proof of
this lies in the fact that tie men who
slew him, perpetrating one of the most
brutal and infamous crimes in Ameri-
can history, have never been summon

authorities of Mr.. Sinsleton's State.

The Exemption Law.
From the State Sentinel.

The Exemption law has been Chang

wealthy and against the poor nen.
This Exemption law was the only 'bar'

mechanics of this state had against the

have been turned o@er TO their tender

How the Senate was Organized.

At indianapolis, last Thursday,
Lieutenant. Governor Gray and Sen
ator Reeve. OF this city, succeeded in
organizing the State Senate by Teso-
luton. The Democrats are generally
elated over the result, and say that
no other than renegade Republican
like Gray could ever have devised
and carried through such plan. In
the excitement OF the moment the
formality OF beginning proceedings
by prayer was overlooked, and the
ball started rolling by calling the
names OF members. We are sorry for
this, because il any body OF men ever
n eded praying for, the Democratic
Legislators nov assembled at Indian
apolis need the prayers Of all God
fearing men. As soon as the roll call
was finished, and the new members
sworn in, before anybody had a
chance to move or change position,
Senator Reeve sprang TO his feet and
offered the following resolutions:
Resolued, That for the purpose OF
effecting speedy and complete or
ganizatiou OF the Senate, Daniel ID.

by chosen principal Secretary !:

~, Assistant Secretary, and Richard
luncheon, OF LaPorte county, Door
keeper of the Senate for the present
term.
The manner in which the Lieuten-
ant Governor succeeded In getting
this resolution adopted contrary TO
all precedent. can be seen by re aiding
the proceedings given below.
Mr.. Reeve demanded the previous
question on its adoption.
Mr.. Harris rose TO point Of order.
Under the constitution these officers
cannot be elected by resolution.

In one district in Alabama the col
ored voters have shown themselves
sharp enough TO convict the inspec-
tors Of fraud. At the election in Au-
gust the inspectors counted all the
votes that were cast Democratic, al
though the colored voters voting the
Republican ticket had a majority Of
one hundred and fifty. In November
the colored men found that the same
arrangements had been made to de-
feat which had proven successful in
August. They consulted together.
and one man was appointed to take
charge OF all the Republican tickets;
he. with three others. stood where
they could plainly see each man as lie
handed In his vote. One voter at a
time received his ticket, and was told
to hold it plainly in view until 1t
reached the dyes hand. Each r.
publican vote was counted when cast.
The case was brought before the
United States Court at Montgomery,
these four men were examined. and
the jury was satisfied that they knew
the number CT Republican votes cast,
