Every male citizen 21 years of age, and who has resided in the state six months, possesses the right of voting. The general assembly con- sists of a senate of 50 members elected for four years, one half every second year, and a house of representatives of 100 members elected for two years. The legislative sessions are biennial, beginning on the Thursday after the first Mon- day of January in odd years. Members of the legislature receive $8 a day during the ses- sion. The governor and lieutenant governor are elected for four years ; the former has a salary of $8,000 a year. The other chief state officers are the secretary of state, salary $2,000; auditor, $2,500; treasurer, $3,000; attorney general, $3,000; and superintendent of public instruction, $2,000. These officials are elected for a term of two years. A ma- jority vote of each house is sufficient to pass a bill over the veto of the executive. The state election is held on the second Tuesday of October in even years. The judicial power is vested in a supreme, a circuit, and a superior court. The supreme court consists of five judges, who are elected by the people for a term of six years, and receive an annual salary of $4,000 each. The state Is divided into five supreme judicial districts and 38 circuit dis- tricts. Each of the 38 circuit judges receives an annual salary of $2,500 ; they are elected by the people for a term of six years. A superior court of three judges elected for four years may be established in any county containing a city of 40,000 inhabitants; the only one yet established is in Marion co., of which Indian- apolis is the chief city. Special criminal cir- cuit courts are provided for seven counties of the state : Allen, Floyd, Clark, Marion, Tippe- canoe, Vanderburgh, and Vigo. The officers elected by the people in each county are, a clerk of circuit court, auditor, recorder, treasurer, sheriff, coroner, and surveyor the first three for four years, and the others for two years. Justices of the peace are elected in each town- ship for four years. Indiana is represented in congress by two senators and 13 representatives, and has therefore 15 votes in the electoral col- lege. The system of granting divorces in Indi- ana, which had attracted wide attention on ac- count of its elasticity, was amended in 1873 and made somewhat more stringent. The causes of divorce under the new law are : 1, adultery, except in certain specified cases ; 2, impotency existing at the time of the marriage ; 3, aban- donment for two years ; 4, cruel and inhuman treatment of either party by the other ; 5, ha- bitual drunkenness of either party, or the fail- ure of the husband to make reasonable provi- sion for the family ; 6, the failure of the hus- band to make reasonable provision for his fam-
