If-- Aitmin. We refer oar readen to an article we copy from the St Louie Republican, a decided pro-slavery paper, upon the present condition of affairs in that Territory, and the recent outrage committed upon Gov. Geary. We had the pleasure of meeting several gentlemen from Kansas yesterday, one of whom was a member of the Topeka Legislature, whe represented the proepecU there for peace and quiet in the future as being of the most flattering character. The prejudices which had been engendered by designing and interested parties between the settlers from different portions of the Union, were gradually yielding and the spirit of conciliation and a respect for the rights of all, which has been the policy of Gov. Geary to develop, was exerciting a benign influence. Wc believe, if the people Of the territory arc let alone and not disturbed by outside influence.-, and the Kansas act carried out as designed by its framers, there will be no occasion for a re[>etition of the difficulties which have occurred there. Pro-slavery and free state men are settling side by side, and the kindly feelings developed by social neighIwrhood intercourse will go a great way to modify, if it will not entirely harmonize, the antagonistic sentiments as to the policy which shall control the domestic Institutions of the
future Htato.
We have every reason to believe that Gov. Gzanr has tho respect and confi dcnco of the people of Kansas generally. But few men could have accomplished what ho has. Through his efforts order has been brought out of confusion—the laws have been executed impartially and honestly, and peace and prosperity have succeeded riots, robberies and bloodshed. To accomplish this difficult task it has required a man of firmness, energy and vigor of purpose.—
These qualities have distinguished the ad- bought elsewhere,
ministration of Gov. Geabv, combined with our State will feed it both aduty and a pleaagreat prudence and conciliation. We pre- ure to patronize the industry of the blind, dieted when Gov. Geary undertook to solve It not 0D ly be an encouragement to the the troubies in Kanzas, that he would be inmates, but will be an aid to the institution,

“order reigns in Warsaw.” Yesterday afternoon the Senate resnmed the consideration of L ginlative business. Dr. Sage turned the key which unlocked this refractory body. Tho “bone of comention” was informally passed over, and we hope its consideration will not bo again resumed until all necessary legislation has been accomplished. i ho Democratic Senators regarded this disposition of tho matter as fair and equal, 'l ime after time had it been proposed by them ns the olive branch. It required no yielding of the point of honor on either side, and afforded all a common platform upon which they could meet and dispose of the legislation which the interests of the State required. If it had not been for the stubbornness of the Ethiopian Senators, there would have been no occasion for the recent delay of business and the ridiculous performances which have been enacted in the Senate Chamber, unsuited to that dignity and selfrespect which the Senate should ever main-
tain for itself.
The Miller C»«e.
For persistent misrepresentation the Journal is unsurpassed and is unsurpassable. There is not a doubt but what Miller was elected by a clear majority. All the facts and evidence in the case as presented to the Senate establish it beyond a controversy. Nothing but a stretch of arbitrary power, without even tho color of justification, can remove Mr. Miller from his seat. To subserve partisan ends and party purposes the Ethiopian Senators seem ready to do violence to their judgements, conscience, reason and justics. They seem to cling to error with a natural instinct, and oppose the right from the mere love of opjiosition. It seems hardly possible that they can bo in earnest, or have any hope of success in the effort to oust Mr. Miller.— But if they should succeed, it will be by one of tho*e gross usurpations of power, which will certainly rise up in judgment against them. Mr. Miller’s right to his seat is as
of tho Senate.
The Weoda Case.
The question involved in the present con troversy with reference to Mr. Woods is not, as the Journal falsely states, as to his eligibility to his seat, but simply whether twenty* five Senators, without a quorum present required by the Constitution to do legislative business of any character, admitted to be eo and the act itself admitted to be a nullity by the Ethiopian Senators themselves, can vacate the seat of a Senator. The mere fact of the resolution of vacating the seat being placed upon the Journal of the Senate, does not made it valid, against the knowledge of its presiding officer and every Senator, that there was not a quorum present competent to do the act. This is a plain statement of the

The managing officers and directors of our railroad companies are particularly requested to be present, as there is a gentleman now in the city who proposes at once to establish rolling mills for the manufacture of railroad iron here, provided the usual and proper encouragement is given by the different railroad companies that center at this point. This gentleman will be present at the meeting of the Board, and will explain bis plans, and state what guarantees will be required. The establishment of rolling mills will be of immense advantage to eur city, and the railroad interests of the State; and it should receive the united and cordial support ot our railroad men and the decided encouragement of all citizens who are aaxious to : uild np here the central manufacturing city of the Union. We hope there will be a fall at-
tendance.
Inhuman Treatment. We understand that the city authoritiesof Terre Haute, without giving any notice of their intention to do so, placed upon the cars of the Terre Haute and Indianapolis Railroad, at that city, yesterday morning, a poor crazy woman whom they have had in charge for several days, for the mere purpose of getting rid of providing for her. The woman jumped off the cars at Greencastle, while they were under motion, and was bo much mangled and injured that her life is despaired of. If the facts stated are true, this inhuman treatment is deserving the severest censure, and the actors in the outrage should be published and held np to public contempt It was the intention of those officials to send the woman here, to make her a charge upon onr city authorities.

When first elected Chaplain of the House of Representatives, at Washington, he was at twenty-two years of age, yet even then, his startling eloquence was a theme of anivenal remark among the distingnished circles of that metropolis. His lecture tonight, on Aaron Burr, is considered one of his

An impartial judgment of the condition of affaire in Kansas, based on the letters published yesterday and this morning; in our columns, and upon private information of a reliable character that we have received, satisfies os that there is no reason to fear that Gov. Geary will not still maintain the peace of the territorr, sustained by the conservative portion of tbs population, without distinction of party. His porition has been one of exceeding delicacy and difficulty. But so far as we Save noticed, with the single ex caption of bis measures in the Lecompto affair, from which we dissected as unwise and dangerous, he has acquitted himself with wisdom sud firmness in the discharge of the responsibilities of his station. We know, too, that National Democrats in Kansas who judge not hastily, and who have been anxious to see the principles of the Kansas-Ne-braska act fairly developed and sustained in Kansas, award to Gov. G^pry the praise of having established the peace and promoted the prosperity of the Territory by his administration, carrying himself so discreetly, and with so much ability, that if he has not fully met the wishes of some, he has done much toward the permanent settlement of all the difficulties io Kansas. The recent disgraceful affair in Lecompton is no index of raising disaffection or dissatisfaction with Gov. Geary. The man who must, if he be living, bear the chief responsibility of the Indignity to Gov. Geary and the subsequent riotous proceedings, had the countenance and concurrence ot no reputal le persons. The Council of the Legislature severely reprobat3d his rufluuly conduct, and in the House of Representatives the aumber was large and composed of an influential and respectable portion of that body, that with equal severity condemned the act. The Legislature on its adjournment unanimously resolved to make a call of friendly courtesy upon the Governor, after 12 o’clock at night, and with Mr. Johnson, Speaker of the Council, and Mr. Mathias, Speaker of the House, waited on the Governor and interchanged with him pleasing tokens of amicable feel ing that left impressions of good will alone, and all dispersed to return to their constituents with perfect good nature. If there were any exceptions they were few. The meeting to express in an appropriate manner the sense of the people of Douglas county, was called without distinction of party, at its first session on Saturday the 14th inst, was presided over by Mr. Skaggs ot Kentucky, the largest slaveholder in the Territory, and at its adjourned session on the 18th, by Mayor Stuart of Lecompton, a Missourian and pro slavery man. The National Democrats predominated. Mr. McAllister, not an Abolitionist, but a Democrat, formerly Commissioner ander the fugitive slave law, enjoying the confidence of leading Democrats in the county, and as >ar from being an Abolitionist as President Pierce or Governor Geary.” Dr. Gihon, the Secretary of the Governor, National Democrat, with Messrs. Skaggs and Stuart, were fair representatives of the character of the meeting, while among them mingled free State men from Lawrence, all pervaded by a common sentiment of regard for the Governor, and a desire to repudiate and resent the wanton insult offered to the Chief Executive of the Territory. We view such a meeting as one of the most gratifying indications we have seen of the harmony now subsisting in Kansas bet een opposing parties, on matters of common interest. That a meeting of this kind was just and proper, there can be no doubt. And even if any turbulent men, like Sherrard, menaced it with disturbance, we can see no reason in that for the interposition of the Governor to meet the meeting. It is not to be admitted for a moment that meetings for warrantable purposes are to be suppressed at the dictum of disturbers of the peace. And we are happy to learn that there is no ground for apprehension that the fracas ending in the severe wound received by Sherrard, will be renewed. He seems to be generally condemned. Jones, who shot him, has been arrested. If he is able to prove what is alleged, that Sherrard was advancing upon him with a pistol, and then Jones, in self-defence, shot him, not in the back, as one report has it, but in the forehead, as others state, he will be discharged. We expect, however, to see in Black Republican papers, some tremendous “yarns” spun from this occurence in Kansas, and new excitement created about a matter that has already received its quietus at home.' It should be regarded as in no sense a party matter, or indicative of ill-blood existing still between the pro-slavery and free State men. - The simple truth is, the v ast majority of both parties stands ranged
on one side in this question.
Recent indications furnish reason to hope that the Free State party is beginning to take a rational view of things. There is no ques-‘ tion that the passage of the Toombs-Doug-las bill by Congress, a bill once violently opposed by Black Republicans and the Free State party in Kansas, would now be acceptble to that party there. Had that bill been adopted by the Republican party in Congress, the difficulties in Congress would have been settled at once. We notice now that the correspondent of the New York Times, writing from the Territory, advocates the bill. Many of the Free State men are submitting to the laws. And if they are wise they will universally recognize their authority, have done with their flummery about the “bogus” Legislature, sanction its existence, submit to its enactments, and thus put an end to the antagonism of parti 58 in the Territory. We do not believe they ever felt the burden of single obnoxious law—neither their peace nor their interests have been distbrbed by the enforcement of any evil statute. The time will come for the repeal of the whole of them.— And one thing 1* certain—there is not tht slightest reason to hope that the Topeka Assembly will ever be recognized by Congress. It ought not to be. Its supporters have no power to compel its recognition. The pressent Legislature will have its successors, the General Government, of necessity, will countenance Jxem. It is the height of absurdity ani nonsense for the Free State party to hold out, hoping for any change. For four years, beyond a question, the fact is a fixed one, the Congress of the United States, with the President, will refuse to listen to any appeals based on objections to the mode of electing the original Legislature, nor will they sanction the doqfrine that illegality in any of the forms of the first election, vitiates the legality of subsequent ones. The present Legislature mast be, and will be regarded as the eoly Constitutional Assembly, and the old maxim be illustrated, “that which ought not to have been done, yet, being done, most stand.”And we are inclined to believe that if certain evil minded leaden and bad advisers, were out of the way, tbe Free State party as a body, are so disgusted with this tomfoolery about the laws of tbe Territory, that they would at the next election, be found to a man at the polls, exercising their right of suffrage in common with those who hare hitherto
complied with the laws.
It must come to that atlaat, unlesa they an

If they intend to take any part in
the movement to make Kansas a State, tiny must do it under existing lean ; and when that State is formed, and with its constitution applies to Congress for admission into the Union, it will be received. Will the Free State party after that, still posh their objections and exile themselves forever from all State Co meila, because of the troubles of early times? If their actions are logically consecutive; they must then declare than is no State, because the acting Legislature of Baae
ation and prescribed the qualifications of mensbeA. And what then? Why not renounce their absurdities at ones?—8L Lmm JbfmUiean (jreehvery.) INDIANA LEGISLATURE. rOBTY-SIXTH DAY.

for good reasons which he gave, he would never vote to pay a cent therefor. r. McGuire presented a petition from John Coburn, with reference to grading side walk on the south sldeo bl- ck 38. Moved that prayer sf petitioner be grantled, and the improvements made under direction of City Engineer. Carried. Mr. Patterson presented petition of Woodburn, for grading and graveling the streets and sidewalks on Michigai street between Pennsylvania and Delawaie streets. On motion of Mr. Delzell, referred to City Engineer and • 'Hy Attorney. Mr. Durham presented a petition from 50 owners of real estate on Noble street, for Improvements thereon. Referred. Al-o, by the same, a petition from R. A. Looker, for privil ge of depositing building material* in a certain locality on Meridian street Granted. Mr. Palmer, from Finance Committee, snbml.ted a report with reference to petition of Wm. Sheets for an appropriation for grading and Riaveling Tennessee street in tne vicinity of Masonic Hall, the Improve ment alleged to have been made in 1848. The Committee find ne order of Council in the regard ; nor had tbe 't-eet Commissioner authority to do the work without such order. Th<- claim of Mr. Sheets has not a shadow of a foundation Injustice. It appears to be a “trumped up claim of an antiquated debt,” wholly unauthorized in its inception. On motion of Mr. Delzell, report concurred In. Mr. Palmer submitted a communication from Mr. Skeen relative to certain city bonds left in N. Y., stating that they should be speedily forthcoming. Mr. Delzell moved that committee correspond with Messrs. Winslow, Lanier fo Co., New York, with reference to the matter. Carried. Mr. Patterson, from committee on Fir* Department, suijmitted a report with reference to Gaston’s account for painting Reliet fire engine. Mr. Delzell moved the reference of the claim back to the Relief fire company. The engine had not needed pain ing. Mr. Gaston did it ornimentally merely for an advertisement, showing practically his handiwork. Carried. Mr. Newcomer, from the committee of conference with the Indiana Lagislature, with reference to Western Market House Square, stated that nothing bad i>een done, and that nothi ig was to be done, and asked that the committee be discharged. A. rraed to, A report from the street commissioner was presented witn regard to sundry claims for street improvements. i laims allowed. The citv sexton reported 18 interments from Feb. 3d to March 2d; Irom the city 15, from the county 3. The chief fire engineer reported no fire since last meeting. Recommended that city council procure a map showing location of cisterns. All the fire com pa nies are in good working order, foe. Mr. Palmer thought the recommendation with reference to a map, notan advisable one. He moved to ta>le the report. Agreed to.

Tfott Fulfil Foul—Hers 1$ a from Headley’s Letters from Italy, which we oomnend to the attention tf oar lady read*
an:
Io form the Italians excel os. Larger, fuller—they natmallj acquire a finer gait and bearing. It k astonishing that oar ledtat should persist in that ridicnloaa notion that a small waist is, and, per neesmte, most be, beaatiful. Why, many an Italian woman : wouli cry for vexation, if she possessed such! a waist as some of oar la lies acquire oalv i v - |iO01<fc j ,
fference, aad can
see no other than that the Italians have their glorious 5tatamry^continually before them aa models; and hence endeavor to assimilate themselves to them ; whereas onr fashionsable# have no models except those French staffed figures in tha windows of the milliner** shops. Why, if an artist should presume to make a statue with the shape that seems to be regarded with os as the perfection of harmonious proportion, he woald he laughed at oat of the city. It is a standing objection against the taste of oar women the world over, that they would practically assert that a French milliner understands how they should be made better than nature her-
self.
Whkbe is tbe West?—The editor of the Presbyterian Herald, of Loaisville, Ky., says that visiting Fort Leavenworth, five or six handled miles west of Loaisville, he said to the commander, "I suppose you begin to feel, away oat here, that yon have at last discovered that indefinable region called the West ?” “No sir,” said he, “we are living in the east yet Four handled miles west of as near Fort Laramie, is the geographical centre of the United States.”
0^7“ We find the following toaching lines entitled the “ Knight and Maiden,” in one of onr exchanges: “ Can’st thou love me, gentle stranger? Blushing like a rose she stood: And the Knight at once admitted That he “rather thought he could.” OCT’l country girl writing to her friend says of the Polka—“ that the dancing does not amount to much, bat the hogging is heavenly.” The man who “couldn’t stand it any longer” has taken a seat, and feels better.

Headache and Debility.—Mr. Silas J. Liscomb, of Birmingham, says: “ I have found in Bcebhave’s Holland Bittebs a remedy for Headache and Debility. My wife has also used it with the greatest benefit.” Mr. A. S. Nicholson, of Pittsburgh, also remarks that he has experienced mach relief from its use for Headache. Take a half tea-spoonful three times a day, an hoar before meals. Eat moderately, and then of wholesome food, and you will find this is really a remedy for Sick and Nervous Headache, Weakness of any kind, Costirenees and Piles. Being perfectlv simple in composition, it may be taken without fear by the invalid. Possess.ng a fine aromatic flavor, it is very gratelul to the debilitated stomach. R.

Mr. Pitta introduced an ordtmuiee repealing tbe ordi nance aimed at in Mr. Hughe’s resolution.
Mr. Palmer said the present system of appointing wetchmen was working v try well. Mr. Pitta’ ordinance if paa-ed un ler a suspension of the rules as he proposed would leave us without any law on tbe subject. He moved a reference to the Judiciary oemmlttee. Mr. Pitts replied that an ordinance aapplyiuga plenty of law in this regard would be Introduced Immeoiatt ly on tbe adoption of the ordinance presented, and passed to-night Gentlemen need have no tears of oeing
without law.

cality. Rejected
On motion of Mr. Palmer, the blanks ia the original ordinance were filled, fixing March 1st, 1857, a* the time from which the original ordinance should go into effect, and putting the limit of toe fine for mfractWat Dr. Newcomer moved ia amendment, thst bog dioversand dealers le hogs, caught within fee city Umita. or within half e mile thereof, be required, under a peiT ally of 950, to change their clothes three times n nay.
