INDIANAPOLIS, March IA discovery
was made yesterday which practically settles
the right of the legislature to create offices
and fill them by election. In 1858 the office
of attorney general was created by the legis-
lature and filed by election. The governor
denied the authority of that body to take
such action and the case was taken to the
supreme court. Some one in looking over
the Eighth Indiana report yesterday found
the decision in that case. The court upheld
the power of the legislature to create offices
and select incumbent8 The case is identical
with those of the officers just elected by the

Chicago Herald says:
Congressman Gest is straining every
nerve to get w. H. Munger. of Rock ISL
and. appointed marshal for the northern
district of Illinois. but he isn't much more
cheerful about bis prospects than other
members OF the Illinois delegation. and
they are all gloomy except those who are
mad. The Chicago members intend TO
capture either the district attorneyship or
the marshslship, but the country con.
gressmen think they can get both. only
one must come from the east side OF the
district and the other from the west side.
For the marshalship Munger has to en-
counter Dement,, and as candidate from
the west side of the district he and Tom
Milchrist, candidate for district attorney,
conflict. Dement, would have pretty
sure thing for the marshalship. but for the
fact that General Henderson, in whose
district he lives, Is pushing Milchrist.

WASHINGTON CITY, March l4-Nomina-
lions to Office do not go to the senate very
rapidly, there having been but three of i'm
portance sent in yssterdar. These were as
follows:
Eugene Schuyler, of New York, TO be as
sistant secretary of state.
Walker Blaine, of Maine, to be examiner
OF claims for the department of state
Cyrus Bussey, of New York city, to be as
sistant secretary of the interior
The combinations by the senate included
all the nominations sent in Tuesday as well
as that of Walker Blaine.
The presidedt was kept busy all day receiv-
ing senator's and representatives, nearly all
of whom had little ak to grind, and shaking
hands with people who went To the White
House for that sole purpose.
Senator Farwell explained his idea of civil
service reform to the president yesterday. He
told the chief magistrate that tue elder Har-
rlson and Zachary Taylor were killed by the
importantly of officeseekers, and he, the pres
ident, would be if be did not put a stop &c
that sort of thing now going on. Further
more the senator said he didn't Ike to come
to the president and beg things; he wasn't in
the habit of begging. He wanted to know
what Illinois could have, and then the Illi-
nois delegation would recomend the right
men for the places. He urged the president
to allot the departmental places to the several
states. Ii the Illinois delegation knew what
places were assigned to them they would
meet and agree on suitable men. If the
president didn't like the men he need not ap-
point them; the delegate would make new
nominations Senator Farwell insisted that
Asa Matthews, of Illinois, WAS just the man
Tor commissioner of internal revenue and it
never would do to appoint West Virginian
to an Office where the chief work was to pre-
vent the manufacture OF moonshine whisky
in the south. The president replied that the
appointment had not been decided on and
then Senator Farweli left. Senator Cullom
didn't see that calling at the White House led
to any visible result, and lie was tired of
talking.

Law and LAWYERS.

1t cannot be supposed that every one
who appears in n court of justice pos
sesses that amount of familiarity with
his eountry's laws which would make
him n fit or capable exponent of his
own cause, although there are some
chronic offenders who, by long expert
ence, have become as expert in cheat
ing the gallows and the Jail as n regu-
larry ordained counselor at law.
Almost every person who attains
years OF maturity, sooner or later, has
some Il which can be settled only
at the bar of justice, rs, for instance,
when the matured person refuses to
comply with his promise to commit
matrimony, and refuses to meet his
other obligations.
The duties Of a lawyer are not such
as can be discharged by N who is I'M
familiar with their requirements, for
the art of bullyragging witnesses and
throwing dust in the optics of the Jury
is not rs easy as might be supposed. 1t
requires time to harden the cheek of
the criminal lawyer to the requisite
degree of toughness.
At all times the harvest of lawyers
has been abundant, and there is no i'm
mediate reason for fearing that the
supply will diminish, as the crop is not
affected 10y late frost, or drJuth or the
seventeen-year l%ocusts.

and restrain the OWL, but they 10

ONE MORE.

When man n time itself were peers.
In the far days before the food.
And living souls had Hesh and blood
Five hundred or a thousand years,
TIL birthdays grew a misty guess;
What signifed one more or lessi
All mel no thought may now coutemn
That unit OF the lives OF men,
Whose dwindled years are one 70 ten
OF Adam and Methusalem,
And one hath all the cares that grew
In twenty when the world was new.
A year, tits natures morn and night.
The lifetime Of a plant, with dover
or seed and sprout and leaf and flower;
And yet before its snowsa are white
we claim the next, and plan TO run
Another journey round the sun.
Our course of being hath no goal,
Alone in passing youth or age
The onward step, the further stage,
Is counted by the ~insatiate soul,
That haunts the Futures open door
And cries for one tomorrow more.
And though the new to-morrows beam
On thankless slight and wilful waste,
And greed of mortals crazed with haste.
Who hope and scheme and wish and dream
Still, added to LIES growing sum,
In mercy one by one they come.
One more reprieye from sorrows stress
One more delay for duty's stent,
One more probation to repent,
One more condition Of success
We ever crave. The boon is lent;
We take-but we are not content.
DO New Years rise and set in val
Because uneasy spirits freti
Not so; the world hath wisdom yet,
And punctual sense Of present gain,
And faith, whose patience waits so long
It's yearning doeth time no wrong.
And Heaven, that chIdes the rash and blind,
Relents when love Of life entreats,
And still with granted seasons meets
The common prayer OF all mankind
And gives et~ernity-whose store
or years forever yields one moro.
