The present LEGISLATURE is no exccp-
ton to it's predecessors in it's policy o.
~DenuriouSn"SS to the militia. Every
$cnsibl" man must know that orr cmer-
scrcy and need OF an armed force will
come suddenly and without warning, il
it comes ut all, and that in that rmcrgcn-
ry the value Of EVEN Il small drilled aud
equipped force accustomed to obey. to
stem the tide Of riot or disorocr till the
posse Of County can DC raised, is very
great.
And we know whereof We speak when
VIC say that the burden Of expense of
keeping up militia organizations is no
light one to the members thereof.
Nevertheless, if orr Legislators think
there is no need Of such organizations
then let them abolish the whole mill
tary branch of the State government,
and have done with the farce Of trying
to keep up militia withou, aid from the
State.

bia Female Co':rg" students, who had
come to witness the Inauguration cerc-
monies and who occupied the gallery,
were present and were evidently inter
cstcd in the remarks Of Mr.. Farrow.
Like the traditional gods OF the thea
trIcal gallery, these SndlrsSrs of the
Legislative gallery were the most an
preciativr element of Mr.. Farrow'S au-
dicncc. The bill, said Mr.. Farrow, was
meant for the protection Of the charac-
ter Of m The law dcgradcs the
institution of marriage when it stonps to
weigh the Damages wEich she has s,ls-
tanned by the failure Of a man to carry
out his promise to marry her. The viO-
lation Of any such promise was no dam
age to n y%irtuous woman. %[Scnsation
among the goddcSScS. a woman who
was so treated by Il man was rather to
be congratulated upon her escape from
an unworthy partner. and the taking OF
the case into Court had n demoraliZing
tendency. There was more in this bill,
continued MIR. Farrow, than was appa-
rent, and while he bowed to the wisdom
Of the judiciary committee who had re-
ported it adversely, he trusted that the
House would consent to it's continuance
until the mex session.
COLUMBIA, December G.-To amend

ton to drawing and cmpaneling iurics ;

Bills to amend the. General Statutes in
relation to costs in equity causes, and to

as security for their feed, were rejected.
Upon taking up for consideration bills
on the calendar, the lawyers crossed
swords ipa spirited contest over the first
~one-hciH Il Bill to permit n creditor to
attack n fraudulent decd Of his debtor
without first obtaining Judgment against
him. After ZONE amendments, n motion

letter dismissing his suit against the In
dianapolis Sentinel is exceedinglyill-tem
pered and unfair in its spirit. In effect he
says that he could not get a just verdict in
Indiana. This is a serious accusation to
make against the people of whole state
1t is a serious accusation against the federal
court, which in Indiana is republican in all
its branches, and which in all the states,
whether republican or democratic, is homes,
and impartial. 1t seems to us that Mr.
Blaine might have withdrawn his libel sui,
against the Sentinel without libeling the
whole state Of Indiana, her jury system
and her courts of justice"
