The Shelby Volunteer, the old Democrat

THE Shelby Volunteer, the old Democratic
organ, has this pleasant paragraph about the
late infamous Legislature:
Governor Porter certainly deserves the
heartfelt thanks of the Democratic party.
The Governor surely cannot be very ma
licious man or very bitter partisan, else he
would wreak dire vengeance on his political
antagonists. All he would have to do would
be to call the late unlamented Legislature in
extra session. If in thirty days time that
assemblage of donkeys did not completely
wreck all hopes of Democratic success in In
diana next year, all signs and methods of
prophecy have failed. And this is why we
say Governor Porter must be kind. hearted
and forbearing man. If he wanted to make
the State sure for his party next fall, he
would lose no time in Resembling our leg

STRANGE that such leading papers as the
Chicago Inter Ocean, Cincinnati Gazette and
Indianapolis Journal should be clamorous
for the release of Sergeant Mason before his
sentence has expired"
The Wabash Plain Dealer is hereby in
formed that there has never been syllable,
word or line in the indianapolis Journal
''clamoring" for the release of Mason. On
the contrary, we have "clamored" steadily
against the cranks and Sentimentalists who
would have made hero out of man who
committed a serious crime against law and
military discipline. Whether his sentence
was too severe should have been question
for the President to determine, uninfuenced
by the clamor of "Betty-and-t he-baby" ia
natics. He has done so, and has pardoned
the Sergeant, but it is to his credit and adds
to the value of law that he acted without re-
spect to "clamor"

feat the bill, and succeeded despite the pro-
tests of some of the most prominent men of
the party. The bill was killed at II O'Clock
midnight of Saturday by the action of Speaker
Bynum at the behest OF the gang of ward
bummers who thronged the floor corridors
and galleries. Lieutenant-governor Hanna
simply stated well-known fact when the
ghost of the dead bill was handed him on
Monday. The Democrats would have been
very glad if they could have bulldozed him
into committing perjury upon his oath to
support the constitution, but Mr.. Hanna is
not that kind of man.

The Chicago Tribune SAYS:

indianapolis is putting forth some effort
to secure the Republican national conven-
ton next year, and if the committee reject
the superior facilities and attractions of
Chicago it cannot do better than to select the
capital of Indiana. The State is doubtful
little more inclined to the Republican
party than to the Democratic party in presi
dental elections-and any qualification the
Indiana people would experience from hav-
ing the Republican convention would be of
advantage to the party's interests. Indian
apolis is accessible, and the location will not
be Objectionable in any respect if the peo-
pie of that city can give satisfactory assur-
ances of being able to take care of the great
crowd which national convention always
attracts"
Let no one forget the meeting at the Bates
House parlors tonight The citizens of In
dianapolis should make every reasonable
effort to secure the convention here.

THE Richmond correspondent of the New
York Sun, a Democratic paper of the strait.
est sect, telegraphed the day after the late
election that 1.-The election excitement was
unprecedented. and greater than during the
uprising against the carpet-bag government
in reconstruction days. The whole State
was literally under arms, and such was the ex-
plosive condition of affairs that the slightest
jar would have caused a small sized war all
over the State. In Danville white men
seventy years of age went to vote with shot
guns on their shoulders" Now the commit
tee of the Honorable Society of Murderers
would have the country understand that the
Virginia election was unusually quiet and
peaceful. The second thought comes too
late.

GAN effect of the decision is that when
bills are presented the Governor on the last
two days of the legislative session he may
sign them if he shall so choose. This de-
cision as particularly important as relating
to the failure of the general appropriation
bill OF the last session. As prominent law
yer to-day remarked: The decision will
work a great change inlegislative practice ;"
Hereafter the Legislature will continue to
pass bills until midnight on the last day.
On the last two days it would seem the Gov
ernor might waive the constitutional pro-
vision as to such bills as he desires to be-
come laws, and receive them and sign them;
and as TO such as he does not wish to approve
or dsapproVe, refuse to accept them, and in
this way defeat bill without a Veto"
The above are two paragraphs we find
floating about through the State press, with
respect to the effect of Judge Elliotts de-
cision in the Supreme Court in the case of
the Commissioners of Marion County against
Burford. OF course, they are both unwar-
ranted, and are the expressions of ignorance.
The decision in no wise touches upon the
prerogatives OF the Governor, as no question
affecting them could by any possibility have
been involved in the case. The decision will
work no change in legislative practice, as
there is no authority in the opinion, express
or implied for the Leutenant-governor or
the Speaker of the House to commit perjury
in authenticating bills passed in direct
violation OF mandatory provision of the
State constitution. So far as the
general appropriation bill in the last Legisla-
ture is concerned, 1t is sufficient to say that
the Democratic conspirators intended to de-

CONNECTICUT is uncertain sort of State.
Some very dreadful things happen there, but it
Is also very virtuous in spots, and there some
things which the good people won't abear. The
citizens of Newington are in a state of mind
just now. A few months ago Mr., Corbin, a mar
rieG man of that place, went West. About the
same time young unmarried woman also went
West. Lately the two came back together, and
settled to housekeeping under the very eyes of
the deserted Mrs. COrbin. The couple kindly
vouchsafed the Information to their inquiring
friends that Mr.. Corbin had obtained a Colorado
divorce, and had remarred but this did not
seem to satisfy their fellO wtownsmen. The
newly-married pair were dismissed from church
me mbership, and are in receipt of petition
which, after setting forth their moral Oblquities
at some length, concludes with an injunction to
"eave FOR some place in the wide world where
their crimes are not known, and where their
residence will not be constant outrage upon
the feelings of their fellow-citzens, and where
they may possibly, by leading honest lives, gain
that respect which here they have utterly for
feited." There are places in the crude, uncul-
tured West where petition would never have
been thought of, but whore a bucket of tar
would have been found just effective.
