The Ojvernor has Spu-tinted Orrin F. Welch, of Tops-Ira, Superintendent of the State Insurance Department. Sesato PsTsas, of Marion county, luH.b.'c.i to fill tho judicial vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Jmlgo lirotrn, member of Congress. Jusr before tlu adjournment of Con-greiithe new biunty law passed both home, but it was panned by the Senate in such a manner that the President refused to siim it, and conue.jUcntly it did not become a law. Tub difference between the Republican and Dsin icrutic parties, according ti Httpu't iVicUtf, is that the tuiraes of the firmer are better and wivr than their lea 1cm while the leaden the lat ter are better and wiser than the masses.

Congressman- Bdffintos, of Massa chusetts, died immediately after his re turn from the late session of Congress. It is reported that Ben Butter is alrealy in the field for the seat thus made va-cm t. We Ann pleased to annouuee that before the legislature adjourned it passed the resolution submitting the question of biennial legislative aeiifons to the paipie. We predict that the people will, by a very Jvrge majority piqclaim in favor of sessions. J.ATE encyclical from tho Pope to tiie Catholic church in Germany has been the cause of the introduction of a bill in the Prussian Clumfeer of Depu ties withdrawing State endorsements from the which is to be restored only to Bishops who will bind themselves formally to obey the Jaws.

railroad. The cms waj IpcarJ at Davenport, Iowa, on the 5th The bonded inhebtcd- bim of the road is nearly in addition to thjs there is a large floating dlt. A coxvextiox met at Cleveland, Ohio, on the 12tli i.rjst. with tho view to organize an independent or greenback political party. The movement claims to be especially in the interest the laboring chises; but we seriously doubt it Wing to the interest of the laboring clashes U) endgrse any such organization or party.

Ai.THOroit our Legislature at first manifested a flispmitinn to reject all special legislation, it finally j.i--ed 0 great many more special acts than general law; After the people decided tn hive biennial legislative sessions, it will then ha in qrdcr to so amend our constitution as lo prohibit special legislation. This has been cjone in some of the States and t'ic results are satisfactory and ben' cScia. so mw it appears that the inhabitants of Sioux City are trying to get up an excitement about the Mack Hills that their city may do a thriving business, )ying as it does in the direct route t- the Black Hills. We venture the prediction that the gold mincsof the Black Hills will bo about as remunera rive to ini i-ts as vera (hose of Pike's I'eafc, which there was such an excitement fifteen or twenty years ao. At thq election in New Hampshire last Tuesday the people failed to elect a (lovor.nnr, and the duty of electing one will now devolve tip in the Legislature both pirties claim to have a majority in that body, and its next session will be one of interest to the people of that State.

The Democrats h-ie probably elected two out of tho three Congressmen. The vote is said to have been the largest ever polled in the State. A number of Indians havp recently been captured or surrendered themselves in'o the hands of the military, and now it is a question of interest as to what disposition will be made of them. Campaigns against the Indians are rather expensive, an I tha government can't well nflord to recruit them for another war this summer. It is rijht that they tjfould reaejvo humane treatment, but it is also a matter of justice that they be kept under such military restrictions as that oiir people on the border may not be kept i constant dread, of their dep rcdatjons and that the government may I saved the expense ot an Indian war every year, Wo believe it would be for the cood of all concerned if the Indians were given uucondition illy into the hands of the military authorities.

It is repjrtud that inferences have recently Iwjii held at Washington as to propriety of a third party, but as yet tho matter has taken no definite itiiipo. Wearooft'ii opinio 1 tint attempt to organize a new pirty would only make certai.i the alouti.m of a Domi-ocratic President in 137o. The indications aiow aro that the contest will be between tho present Democratic and parties, and Hf the Republican party is successful it must a-lo it 8iic! a line of pilicy as thit those who ive always beo.i Repuhlica but who of Iat3 hive lott mti teuce i-i tho organizationwill unite with their ol Ipirty and the Republican papers of the country "froald d.i a go id service for the party if f.Ley would every one proclaim that under any and "nil circumstances they aro uaal-ferably opjiocd to a third term. At a late meeting of the School Board in Cincinnati Mr. frichard, principal of one of the large intermediate schools, in that city gave his views on English grammar as a study in primary schools.

He is of the opluiou that previous to the twelfth year the minds of the pupils are not sufficiently matured to understand its principles, and he introduced a resolution to dispense with English grammar ai now taught iii their district schools. We believe that in of the schools throughout the country a reform in this matter is greatly needed, children under twelve years of age have their minds crammed with rules and definitions which they are unable to put into practical nse, and it retards rather than as- lists mental development, besides giving them a dislike for this branch of study. The new Senate which met in accord ance with the President's proclamation hai been organized and has already confirmed a lare number of appointments made by the President, and it is rumored that there will be a great many more changes made. The new Senators, Messrs. Alcorn, Terry, Cameron, Christi an cy Paldock, all went into the Republican caucus, thereby destroying he confidence of many Democratic journals in their wisdom, integrity and patriotism.

Andy Johnson did not attend either the Republican or Democratic caucus. He siys we have had too much of party, and that he does not propose to be bound to any theory or "party. Among the first things introduced after the Senate was organized was a resolution by -nator rt for tha admission of Pinchback. The Senator is persistent in his eff rts iu behalf of the would-be member from Loui-iana. He cant see how Congress can endorse Kellogg as Governor and reject Pinchback as Sen ator.

Randolph, AttorneVGenetal. The Railroad War. The President of the Erie Railway, J. Jewett, has tendered his services as peacemaker between Mr. Garrett, of tho Baltimore and Ohio, and Colonel Scott of the Pennsylvania Ce ltral.

Hs wants their difierences submitted to arbitration. The prop isition was made to Mr. Garrett. He utterly refuses to entertain the ilea. "Until," he says, "the Pennsylvania Railroad Company restores absolutely the use of that road for the great sectiiis and interests connected with tho Palti more and Ohio road, will, iu our judg ment, bo injudicious to make any cooper: tive arrangement." It would seem from the tone of the Jewett letter that the railway interest of the country is alarmed lest the duol between these two great transportation lines should prove disastrous to railroad capital and seriously impair the credit and standing of all American enterprises and American management.

Mr. Garrett, on the contrarv, thinks good will come of it. It will lead, he calmer counsels, 10 more gixxi sense, ami to fiirer dealings in th future. II 1 predicts that mioli will lie its lesson, read in the light of historv. In the meantime Mr.
