The secret ballot isn't a good thing in Indiana for the Republicans, because they couldn't tell then if they bought a thrifty voter whether they had him sure pop or not. They al ways like to know that the goods are going to be delivered when they buy. At the request of a colored society in Washington Senator Teller has introduced a bill instructing the U. S. Treasury to py somebody $50, 000,000 to buy land in Lower Cali fornia to colonize negroes from the South. These colored sovereigns are evidently believers in paternalism regardless of cost.

Mr. Alexander moved to refer to a committee. Mr. Mann said he expected that there would be oppositiou from some one that was not in the oyster section; that we were losing thousands of dollars each day. That those oyster pirates were taking our oysters to other States; that he had seen at least seventy-five, he thought, of those foreign boats drag ging for oysters, while on his way to the General Assembly.
