THE INDIANA CASE.

The Supreme Court of Indiana has de-
eidcd that the constitutional amendment
changing the date of the State election
from October to November was not prop
erly adopted, and therefore fails. The re-
suit Of this decision is to put the election
back in October, and as the majority Of the
Court are all Democrats, and as the minor
ity are Republicans, and az the decision
rests upon purely technical points, concern
Ing which two opinions may very easily be
held, 1t is not Surprising that the Court
should be accused Of having been inspired
by partisan motives in The case. Whether
indeed the Democrats have anything 20
gam By having the Indiana Stats election in
October, is Il question which we do not
think eeen Democratic Supreme Court is
competent to determine no doubt
the Indiana State election III October has
always exercised more OF les influence upon
the result of the Presidential election in the
following month. bat it is quite impossible
to say whether this influence is likely to
be prejadicial Or beneficial to the Degao-
Gratis Or the Republicans tbis year. Just
nov it looks as though the Greenback vote
might cripple the Democrats in the State
election Certainly there is nothing to
warpune the assertion that the Supfeme
Court, surprising it TO have acted from
partisan motives, has done coed thing
for It's party. Bu, it does look very much
as though the decision had teen more
affected 10y political considerations than
any Judicial opinion ought to be.

IN UNUSUAL Crop SEASON.


The crop prospect of the present season
has alternated between the hope of most
borntiful harvest and the fear of total fail
ure. Now that the harvesting has actu-
ally begun it is ascertained from reliable
data that the yield viii in the aggregate
fall short Of full crop about forty per
cent. This viii give large surplus for
export, but is by no means a satisfactory
fulHllnent of the splendid promise in May
An unusual feature Of the season is pre-
scented in the fact that under the influence
of the north winds the wheat appeared to
have ripened, and the harvesting had be-
GUN, when under the reactionary south
wind of last week the straw freshened up
the heads became moist, and the grain
actually resumed the process of further
filing. OF course the cutting was sus.
pended. If this peculiar action has ever
before occurred it has escaped notice by
our crop reporters.

friend OF Alr. Tilden, in the Presidential
canvass, and in that attitude he is reported
as saying, apropos OF tie ISLANDERS against

&c lean party is so blunted by a long course
os depravity that its candidates record,

O'Conor's position. The Republican party
has never had 60 hopelessly and notorious

therefore it is dillicalt to understand what
amount of "depravity those Democrats
must be guilty of who cling to the Gram

until he himself appears as the spokesman

ever be fit for anything but cattle ranges
When the real value of these possessions
began to be perceived, the simple and
large hearted pioneer found himself sur
rounded by cunning and INSCRIPTIONS men,
whose first object was to get the better
of him, and who experienced too
little difficulty in this. The men whose
faculties are Of the money making Kind
encountered him, and the weakness which
had originally prompted him to prefer the
wilderness to civilization, put him at IA
tai disadvantage. He was plundered right
and left, in short, and in after years his
utter lack Of WHAT is called business ability,
enabled many of those who had swindied
him to shuttle responsibilities on to his
shoulders Perhaps there is no possible
means of preventing men Of his kind from
falling prey to sharpers. Thackeray had
theory that some people were born to be
kites, and others to be pigeons, and that
neither could escape their destiny Cen
eral Suffer had some rather vague claims
upon the country and the State stronger
upon the latter than upon the former-on
account of his losses and his former bene-
factions to distressed emigrants in the
early times. The State for a time aeknowl-
edged, and then repudiated, these claims.
The nation could never be got to acknowl-
edge them.at all. A great many erroneous
stories have been printed regarding General
Suffers connection with the discovery of
gold. The factis that hehad very little indeed
to do with that discovery James Mar
shall, who was then a partner of his in the
celebrated mill at Coloma, found the first
gold in the mill-race, and getting on horse
back brought it down to Suffers Fort At
first General Suffer refused to believe that
it was gold, and it was only when it had
been weighed in water and tested with
nitric acid that he began to appreciate the
significance of the discovery. But the
gold era swamped him. He was a good
pioneer, but he was not made for pros
perity. He never could have been rich
man, because he never had the capacity to
hold on to wealth. The State might well
have assumed the slight charges of his
latter years, but in a moment of sordid-
ness his pension was cut off, and then he
sought to procure some compensation from
Congress, but without avail. He was
simple minded, liberal after the patriarchal
pattern, well fitted in his younger days
FOR the role he then played, but incapable
of amassing riches, or OF guarding those
which had accidentally come into his pos
session

General Suffer has died, quite suddenly,
though at an advanced age, in Washing
ton. His career had been varied and re-
markable one, but though he had enjoyed
what to some would have been splendid
opportunities, he was never able to avail
himself of them. Nor was this to be
wondered at, for he had all the tendencies
Of the pioneer, and the pioneer IS never
the millionaire Il requires very differ
ent kind Of capacity and idiosyneTacy from
those which serve to amass great fortunes,
to follow the kind Of lie which General
Suffer found congenial. he was + natural
adventurer, restless, bold, impatient of
conventional restraints, more willing to
wrestle with savages and the wilds of Ma
ture than to compete in the more subtle
and crafty contests Of civilized commerce.
He arriged here when no white man had
the least idea that there was any future for
California. He acquired large tracts of
land when nobody thought they would
