TINE or CLOSING SALOONS.
Mr.. BAILEY'5 bill rs. 1867 10 tx the time
Of closing up saloons in indianapolis and
Evansville at 2 o'clock midnight
Mr.. RAHM: Il leaves the laws in the
other ports of the State ss they are, except
81 Indianapolis and Evansville. These two
cities are metropolitan cities; trains arrive at
eli hours OF the day and night; these cities
are under the Metropolitan Police system. 1t
vsuld be no hardship upon other sections OF
the country. This would leave election laws
as they are.
Mr.. FOWLER: 1 doubt very much
whether such legislation Is demanded by
either of the citizens Of Indianapolis or
Evansville Whilst there may be a very
s'rcng element in favor of such legislation,
there is q strong element against IL. / can't
sss the propriety OF extending the hour at
which the saloons in Indianapolis and Evans
vile close up. IL he Is q railroad man, in
stead OF going to q saloon, he had better 90
bone. There is no good reason why q law
should apply to indianapolis and Evansville.
and not 10 the rest OF the State. / move TO
lay the bill, with al the amendments, on the
table.
The motion was agreed to by yeas 81, nays
IL.
Mr.. THOMPSON, explaining his vote,
said: One reason alleged was that many
times passengers come in late when most Of
the hotels are shat up, and many OF the ga
looms have restaurants, and IL is very con-
saloons and get something to eat i there
fore vote no.
Mr. WEIR, when his name was called

wants TO eat and drink.

tain officers and soldiers for services rem
deTed in the THilitia 10 1862 on the call OF
Governor Morton. TVere was a bill passed
IT, 1867 TO pay these troops, bat the Captain
of this company was in Alabama at that
time. There was provision to cut off the
pay of all persons whose pay-rolls were not
in at that time, and owing TO the Captain
being absent the pay-rolls could not be put
IL l think there is nothing wrong in the
matter. ! hope the bill will pass. These
soldiers have been kept out of pay for a long
time. There is some SIG coo in the State
Treasury now for the payment OF these sol-
diers and think 1t M more than right that
IL should pass Ia 1867 there wes $50, 900 ap-
proprieted TO paw these soldiers.

statement: The Captain was away and be
was written to come home and make out
his muster-rolI and 60 to tie Legislature and
have his claim allowed. He came, but he
cane too late to get their pay At that Legis-
