There being no authority to present the
chair and no disposition to require price
from the venerable statesman for such a
relic, the secretary of the board drafted the
following bill, which was introduced in the
senate by Senator Abraham Lansing, and
in the assembly by Mr.. Benedict, of u

THE trustees of the old capitol are
hereby authorized to donate, on behalf of
the state, to Horatio Seymour, of Deer

INDIANAPOLIS, March 4.-The general ap-

before the adjournment at midnight of
Saturdays session. Under constitutional
restrictions no bill can be passed before the

an act of 1877 the state institutes and
offices are provided for, among which are
the insane, blind and deaf and dumb asy-
lums, leaving the educational Institutions
female reformatory asylum for feeble
minded children, and others unprovided
for. The governor states positively tina,
he will not call an extra session. The gov.
ernor will send in his veto to the metro

rHEIMMENsE GLITTER.

The mayor of Chicago and some of tn
papers of that city appear to think that
is a smart thing to cut the telegraph wires
of several companies because they are not
under ground. Some idea of the extent
of the outrage by the idiotic Garter
Harrison can be gathered from the follow
ing account of the procedure in the
Times:
The operators were hard at work at the time,
as there was a large amount of business on
hand. OF course all operations were stopped at
once, and the Office was in an exceedingly bad
fix, with its unsent messages piled up on the
counters, and other kilograms rapidly coming in
shut off in the middle.
With messages of greater or less impor-
lance absolutely on the wires and in the act
of being sent and received, this valiant wag
sends out his men upon the work of de-
struction.
There were some sixty wires cat belong
ing to the Mutual Union alone, they be-
ing cut at the extreme north and south
limits of the city. Policemen were then
stationed at the objective spots to prevent
repairs.
Inc damage 10 persons uolng pusihesi
over these wires by such an uncalled for
arbitrary proceeding, can scarcely
be computed. 1t would not be sur
prising if this sudden stoppag'
cost business interests million:
of dollars and the mayor of Chicago
should at least be impeached and re
moved from office. If he had given pub
lie warning that persons having i'm
portant messages could have availed them
selves of other channels it would hav,
been better, but instead he secretly sen
two gangs of men to the points named
and within ten minutes after the work O.
destruction began the company was iso
lated. Carter had probably stimulates
until he thought he was doing yer,
valiant act.

NO EYTRA NESSION.

The alacrity with which the president
affixed his signature to the conference tax
and tariff bill indicates that he has fully
determined not to call an extra session of
congress. 1t has been an open secret for
some time past, that in the event of the
failure of legislation for the reduction of
taxation, an extra session would be called.
Hence the anxiety of both houses to ac-
complish something, no matter what, in
that direction.
The measure as passed meets with the
approval of only a very few of the interests
affected by it. The iron men are dissatis-
fed with it, because of the slight reduction
of taxes effected by its provisions. The
wooden interests are indignant with it be
cause it affords them no protection. The
sugar men appear to be the only class that
| are satisfied. We hazard but little IL pre-
dieting that the act will afford but
little relief to the people at large. 1t
will reduce the revenues of the govern
ment, in all probability, without reducing
the cost of articles of prime necessity with
the mass of the people 1t is the luxuries,
not the necessities, that are relieved Of
taxation, and under its oper ations 1t will
cost just as much to support family as
at the present time.
While it is only fair that this measure
should have fair trial, there is no ground
to hope that it will settle the agitation of
the tariff question, which will continue to
be disturbing element in business. The
next congress will feel impelled to under
take thorough revision of both the GUS
toms and revenue taxes, and from the day
it assemblies till the matter is finally dis
posed of there will be a constant feeling OF
uncertainty among merchants and manu-
facturers. Values can never be settled I'M
= til it is definitely known what taxes are to
} be imposed on importations or manufac-
lures. and as long as this state of uncer
tainty exists, men of means will hesitate
to embark in enterprises of any descrip
ton.
The decision arrived at by the Presiden
is to be regretted. The cost of an extr
= session would be nothing as compare
; with the loss that will ensue from the pro
y longation of the state of uncertainty in tn
business world. A majority of the peopl
. 10 not care greatly whether the taxes ar
changed or not, but they want to kno
Il what is to be done, so that they can max
calculations and trim their sails to I'll
breeze. We will be compelled to g
= along, however, as best we can, but it b
hooves business men to exercise more tina
- ordinary care in their transactions, le
- they may become involved IN losses due
- the varying values that must lnevitab
, prevail for some time to come.
