V. IL FO.STf.rt, . KD1TUK. PSIDAY U0EN1NO. DEC 3. 185a fsj Our legislative news is meairro. this weck, owing to our not receiving try mail from Indianapolis from Friday until WedncJxj night, and when it did eon.o, for t-ome rertM-n. we did not gtl the latent papers. The Lrmlnturt appear to to doirg very littlo except wrangling over the election of Senators to Wipercvdo Wright and Fitch. Hy our text issue we hope to ho alio to announce that the thing is JUL Bridget and Turnpikes. Over and often has the public attention been called through tho medium ol the Irens, to tho importance of constructing a flridgo across tho West fork of Whito Wafer at this place, until the abject appears to have become flat, tale and unprofitable. When our river becomes unfoitlablc, wo are apprised of the necessity ot constructing one, but the subsidence of thö water in succeed - edMjy lethargy and ho interest matii. fested U entirely Iot, to Lea jam rcvivd by a succeeding ireshet. o recur to this Mibjec-t, and urge upon our citizens, and those interested. to tako sncli decisivo measures as will lead to intercourse with the Western portion of our County, in dclianco ol oar streams. Want of unity has hcrctoforo. been a drawback to tho fulfilment of such n Vorthy enterprise; thero hato been too many individual interests in conflict. A union thould bo had by which some .eligiblo point can bo selected, and all jthisjai ring cease. A point which has been mggested, and which to us appears tho most prac.'tiblo ol all othors, is in tho locality of Ilm rmiilonpn rf J. ). St. Jtihik'n deeens. J. Wo nro led to thU opinion Iron, tbe fact that a fiftm basis for such a superbtruction can lie had at that point. Expeiienco has demoustratrd the neces sity of constructing tho abutments upon a solid foundation. Had proper alten tion been given to erection of the abut mcnts to tho bridgo across tho east fork cn tho road leading to Mt. Curmcl, we would not now bo denied intercourse With tllO Ea?tCrO portion Of Our County by a swollen etrenm. - With tllO aSSistanCO Which would Undoubtedfy lo extended to this enterprise by Our County Board, in addition to liberal donations from private citizens I ro uo not question but that a Jruige can bo constructed, especially r.s stated belore, if this rivalry relating to its lo. cation can bo suppressed. In connection Jvith this subject, we would call attention to tho importance ef a Turnpiko to extend from said Bridgo to Sunmansville, on the Indian a pol is and Cincinnati liailroad, givin r f I us two or threo hours rido to tho latter i- .i.m I.t'IMV W VVW T VIIIUIV IV rill IMttfe nvtu 1 , all tho travel South, Morth nnd West, ''would bo over this road.

Wo may haver. - m I something moro to pay on this subject la futute. That Investigation Ts'ow that tho elections aro over, we msy be permitted to call tho attention of our Doard of Conn!y Commissioners, to tho matter of investigating tho accounts of our Auditor ami Treasurer, wi'.hout being liable to tho chargo of a desire, on our part, to effect tho election In relation to their suiTra-'es.

I'ortbs Aosriesa. Cards and Card Playing:. It is a lamentable fact that card play, ing is carried on to such an extent In this country, as to vio with tho depravity of tho Old World. We observe it on board our water craft, infsting our cities, towns and villages, corrupting tho youth of our land, and holding oven tho aged in bondage. Tho attention of Legislature bodies have been called to It; nets up acts have been passed, until cur statues groan under tho weight of what uro intended to bo sumptuary law for tho supprcs(ion not only in tho traille, but their vi lb uso to which they arc applied. Thero is no particular harm in a gamo of cards for ninu?ctnet but experience has demonstrated, that evils has invariably followed theirintroduc tion into society. Wo can say of Broohville, in proportion to its population, It is as little infestodas any of the places surrounding it, m far as wo can learn. , By renson of tho nhsenco of man of our citizens, as alirjrangcrs, wo enjoy a brief Kcason of tr'-uility and ropose. v .V - .' V " T So long as thoso who administer, fabricate nnd execute tho laws, cngago in tho practieo of card playing, tho Staluto relating to its sujipression becomes n dead letter, and lcgilators uro Jwasting their precious time and tho peoples' money in vuch enactments. Strike at tho trunk of tho evil, with a lictvr'a hand und tho branches will bill. Thero is no dearth of law upon tho subject, but let every citizen so that

tho law has vitality, n few examples of its severity will operato beneficially nnd society will reap a reward. Tho attentio n ol the public has been especially called, in selection of officers, to tho use of ardent spirits, not reflecting for a moment that card pljying is tho greater evil of tho two, being the parent of a majority of tho vices under which Micictj" labor. Cards originally wcro intended for a humane purpose, they were introduced in Franco during tho reign of Charles VI. A. D. 1 !!.", who lived 45 years and reigned 42, CO of which he passed in a -tato of almost constant insanity, to amuse bun in his lucid intervals, the gaino of cards was introduced. They wcrepaiutcd in gold and divers colors. It whs u revival of nn ancient amuse ment, and in loss than four years, the mania for card playing becainoso great that the provost of Paris forbado their uso. But as tho Court naid no utten tiun t0 laW of tourso tl0 columon iw-w.i.U 4ikr..,nt-.l.wl: I I ..v.. tw It is a singular fact that no change has been mado in tho form of figures, on tho earth since the days of Charles I. Thoo winch aro nowplaj'cd with. resemble in all respects, thoso which were used to amuso that monarch, and a very just idea of tho dress ot that poliod may bo obtained from them. The figures had a distinct meanincr. Uy the hearts were meant the Churchmen, from tho Trench word Coeur, meaning heart, and theso cards are called "gzno Je choeur" or choirmen. lly the Spades, which arc In factpikoheads, aro meant tho nobles or military. Ily the pquiro stones or tiles, which we call diamonds, but which tho French call ctineaux, was intended tho class of workmen; and lastly-, tho suit, which wc call clubs, but which is in fact but tho leaf of clover or treloil, was meant to represent the peasantry. letter froa.

Mr. 1). O Darby tho worthy post mastor of this place has a "bran splinter new" Sorghum mill, and is making molasses good ecoivh r th) Piesident to sop his dogger in. This of itsolf is indieativo of lifo in this place. Hut this Is not all; tho same O'Darby has a premium washing ma chine, that il it did not knock tho socks off all his competitors at tho Stato Fair, it ditl take the premium and tho dirt out of a hrnti Hit, nicely. Uut this ma ch ine is notfinishod as Mr. O'D, expects to mako somo very important improvements on it, after which ho may well defy competition. Speaking of Sorghum I may as well say that Mr. O'Darby is not alono engaged in tho making of this molasses; Moses Savage, Thornas Jones and others here, have made somo as good as wo want in this climate, and thoso who want bettcr.should go South. Somo old liners think, no doubt, it tastes Mrongly of wool, nnd that it is decidedly unconstitutional to thus interfero with tho institutions of the scuth. Democrats who enraM in th manufacture of Sorghum molasses, mut ... expect to be read ot of the part y. I said in tho onset that somo would call this an 'finished town.'

I regret any remark that would throw any Imputation on tho character or skill of thoso gentlemen.

Ho'was not prepared to voto on tho original resolution, and thought it proper to in quire whether tho decision of the Senat precluded all action.

Tnrnie opposed its committal. Ho thought all tho facts in the caso wcro known, and the conclusion of that comraittco would bo a foregone one. ttlytbo disliked to soem fractional if he did not tako tho course marked out by tho majority. Ho should do bis duty fearlessly, though hd stood alone. Iiis own opinion was formed. So fur as tho election of Senators was concerned, it was futilo and foolish to urge on this movement. Murray was ready forjnvestigation if needed. IIo hoped that there would bo decisivo and detinito action. Clements nt first was disposed to vote for tho reference, lie now was willing to bravo the storm that seemed to be

browing. It was poor economy to wnsto time nnd money on this Huhject when t( ey could not reverse tho decision of tho Supremo Cour. Dobbins wus not afiaid of any investigation. It wns useless to refer the subject to ft committee Hall, of Rush, argued ugainst the logality of tho election of Bright and Fitch. Gifford to put himself right on tho record, offored an amendment that Indianu is now legally and constitutionally represented in the Senatoof tho United States, and tho election of now Senators would bo a farce. Merrifield opposed tho commitment. We knew all tho fucts in tho caso. Wo could not altor tho decision of tho United States Senate, even tho Senate itself could not alter it. They could no more reverse their decisions than tho Supremo Court could sit upen and reverso its decisions. Mr. Austin stated tho object of Mr. IMward's resolution being simply to determine whether tho action of lho Son nlo of lho United Slates had precluded all action on our part, he should voto for it. Mr. Raird: In reply to the gentleman from Porter, would say that lawycisdo tako up tu tho Supremo Court qucotions they havo ono decided, to enablo them to correct any error into which they may havo fallen. So wo now wish to send men to tho Senato to get n reargument of tho caso. Gentleman talk about retrenchment, it they wish to save $GU0 a day lo tho State, why don't they let us havo our own way nt onco land elect Senators without any further ! fprnililffV ii vi.M Mr. Davis stated that his opinions were formed. Much ns ho regrclted lhc facts ir. reference to tho election o 15ri.ht and Fitch, ho could not. by any voto of his change tho action oil tho Senato. Hence he thought an mtempt to elect Senators hi their place vain itnd foolish. Rat bail this Legislature the power, there is not a man who would fooneruso it than himself. You cannot reverse tho decision which has placed thorn firmly in their seats. Why consume timo in attempting it? Tho motion to refer to a committee wan lost: ayes .41), nnyn 5t. Mr. Rlytho moved to utrike out all after tho word resolved and insert a sub(tlitute declaring lho election of liright and Fitch to tho Seriate, in 1837, improper und irregular, and tho fact that they demanded and consented to hold their seats on such tenure is worthy of I . i.i... ir j J . . s ' J. mem, oi wiu u. . oenaio s in a a el no I ........
