FIRST DAY.

THI-USDAT MORXIXG, Jan. 8, 1857. Senate met at 9 o'clock. Mr. Bears*?, of Miami moved that Mr. Burke, of VVayno, take the Chair and proceed to organize the Senate.

The Senate was called to order by Lieut. Governor Willard, who ordered the calling of the roll of members by the Clerk of tho last session. .•:? Mr. Burke ordered the calling of the roll hy Mr. Cravens, of Jefferson, acting as temporary Clerk.

The Senators were invited to present themselves and take tho oath of office. Judge Gookins administered the oath to twenty-six Senators, and the Liei'.t. Governor fo twenty-three.

Confusion ensued—ths two Chairmen alternately calling the house to order, and the two clerks calling the roll of members.

It was moved to go into tha e'ectton of Principal Secretary. Mr. Burke put the question, which carried.

The clerk of last session on order of the Lieut. Governor, called the roll, and declared no quorum present.

Jonathan S. Jlarvey. of Marion, was nominated for Principal Secretary and received a unanimous vols of all members responding to their names.

James H. Tyner, of Miami, was nominated for first Assistant Secretary, and received the unanimous support of all t]p6 Voting members.

^isting all over the house.) Simeon Cheney, of Clin!on county, was ^nominated for Doorkeeper, ami received tho unanimous support of all the voting members.

Amid sccncs of confusion, ths newly elected officers went forward and were sworn into office by Judge Gookins.

A motion was made to go into an election for Scrgeant-at-Arms. but the question was not put.

The old clerk again called the roll and declared twenty members present. •i The new clerk, on calling the roll, declared twenty-seven members present.

A motion was madie to adjourn to 2 o'clock, and was discussed by one or two members.

The Lieut. Governor announced that if the Republicans wished revolution, they might as wall have it to-day a* at any future trae.

nutil the crack of doom beforo the seheme of the old line party should be carriod out. The Constitution of the Stale did not confer express power upon the Lieut. Gov. to organize the Senate.

Mr. Suit, of Ciintori, remarked that the ,l,ient. Gov. wos disposed to be exceedingly fair. Ho supposed the whole difficulty was whether Mr. Cooper, of Rush, should be sworn in or not. He was for testing the legality of hi6 election, after the organization of the Senate.

The Lieut. Governor remarked that if the gentleman from Rn*h presented the light kind of a certificate he sho'd be sworn ju.

Mr. March, of Deleware, said he came as a representative of the people. He was willing tho Lieut. Governor should preside after the Senate had organized, but the Constitution conferred no power upon the Lieut. Governor to organize the Senate ef the State. He moved the appointment of a committee of threo to agree upon 6ome plan of adjustment.

Mr. Buike, of Wayne, replied that they were not hero lor revolution, but to prevent revolution they wished to trample .upon the rights of 110 one. fc Mr. Cravens, of Jefferson, said it was :well known what the object of the Democratic party was. He would stay there and between members and the occupants

Mr. Wallace, of Montgomery, said it was-useless to read law to a prejudiced jury'. He asked where was the law to authorize tho benate to organize itself in the manner tbflt the Republicans were trying to do at thai time? If there was 110 law for the Lieut. Governor, where was the law for tbefonrse the Republicans proposed?

Mr. Hurray, of Howard, read from the Statute in/elation to the qualifications of officer", «nd stated the Lieut. Governor had administered the oaths to members whom he b«d*worn in, in an informal and illegal manner. He declared that the Lieut. Gov.

had wo power* ex grossly, ti organize "tli.e Senate. Thfito was a Statute empowering the Secretary of State, in certain eases, td, organize the Senate, and thb Auditor of State, to organize the House of Representatives, and in times past such organica lions liad been made. Each branch of the Legislature has tlie right to judge of the qualifications of its own members^ That power did not rest in the Lieut. Governor —tho Constitution nowhere gave the prosiding officer power, ex officio, tc organize the Senate. Wv' lie claimed that the Lieut. Governor had no power to judge of the qualifications of members, but he had a part in judging of the right of tho member from Rufh to a seat in that body—that right 01 power did not belong to the Lieut. Governor but to tho Senate itself.

Tie believed the Republicans were taking the proper course, lie thought the whole matter could be adjusted by an adjournment until two o'clock, and a conference held in the meantime.

Mr. March, of Deleware, was in faoorof a committee of conference. The Senate, he said, was a deliberative body, and had the right to judge of the rights and qualifications of its own members—the Lieut. Governor nor any other State officer had not the right or {privilege to judge of the qualifications of members present. In the absence of any provision for the organization of the Senate, who, but the Senate itself, had any right or power to judge of the rights of its own members?

Mr. Gooding, of Hancock, thought the whole matter of difficulty could be adjust ed. He was for peace. He thought the objection to the organization by the Lieut. Oovernor came from a jealousy of the presiding officer. Custom had said that the Lieut. Governor should preside at the opening of the Senate.

Mr. Wallace, of Montgomery, denied that the law, as interprcd by Mr. Murray, was applicable to ths present case.

Mr. Stephens, of Decatur, said he could surrender no principle which his constituents had sent him here to sustain.

Mr. Murray, ia repty to the assertion of Mr. Wallace, that the Senate never dies, aked why it was they elected new officers ateach session? 11 the Senate never died not let the Senators holding over judge of the qualifications of the new members, if the number holding over was sufficient to egect an organization?

Mr. Suit addressed the chair on the qualification of the member from Rush, and asked the Lieut. Governor if Mr. Cooper should present a certificate of election if he would swear him in. He had had all the names of tho members called except the one representing Rush.

The Lieut. Governor replied that if Mr. Cooper presented a certificate that he considered legal he would administer tho oath to him.

Mr. Suit—We knew that before. Mr. Cravens proposed to submit the certificate of Mr. Cooper to the presiding officers, for their deciHion.

Messrs. Tarkington, of Monroe, Brown, of Shelby, and Freeland, of Knox, spoke in reference to a contested case from Harrison county two years ago, and also the present case from Rush.

Mr. Freeland said that he had been informed that it was the intention of the minority to contest seatH enough to give them the control of the Senate.

Mr. Yaryan, of Union, was in favor of conciliation on honorable principles. No improper motives influenced the action of the Republicans, He let out some "Democratic secrets" that he had heard in regard to tho organizations of the Senate for 'Dem ocratic' purposes.

The Lieut.. Governor said he knew of no where the Senate was organiz-

He had intended swearing in the Senators from Fountain, Fulton and Mai ion on presentation of their certificates. The certificate of the gentleman fiom Rush he han not seen. The rumors to which Senators alluded might bo false. He had had the roll called, and found twenty Senators in their seats.

The Lieut. Governor again ordered the roll called, Tho certificate of the clerk of the Circuit Court of Rush, plating that Mr. Cooper had a majority of votes for Senator, was presented to the Lieut. Governor, which he read, and declared that he co'd admit him to a scat on no such evidence of election.

An interesting little colloquy ensued between the Lieut. Gov. and several members.

The roll was again called—few answering. The counties agaia were called—stopping when the clerk reached Rush county.

Mr. Ciavens desired Mr. Burke, as prosiding officer, to give a decision on Mr. Cooper's certificate, lie considered it sufficiently legal to entitle him to his seat.

Tho Clerk elect called the roll—a majority answering. Discussions between individual members

of the chair, followed After a large amount of talk, it was agreed to adjourn nntil half past 2 o'clock.

AFTFKNOON SESSION. The Senate was called to order by Lieut. Gov. Willard.

He announced that Judge Gookins was in wailing, and would swear in members if the Senate, after the calling of the roll and presentation of certificates of members, would so order it.

The Senate concurred. The Lieut. overnor called the Senators by districts. On assembling around the Speaker's stand, Judge Gookins swore in the following newly elected members that they would stipport the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of the State of Indiana and that they would faithfully fulfill their duties as Senators:

Bartholomew and Jennings—James E. Wilson. Deleware, Grant and Blackford—Walter March

Hamilton, Boone and Tipton—John Green Cajs, Howard and Pulaski—C. D. Murray

Vigo, Sullivan and Clay—Win. E. McLean Decatur—John F. Stephens

Montgomery—Lewis Wallace Randolph and Jay—Daniel Hill 'Ripley—Robert W. Fisk Putnam—Archibald Johnston

Washington—Horace Heffren. The Lieut. Governor declared the Senate organized.

Mr. Drew, of Vanderburgh, moved, that reporters for newspapers be allowed seats and desk within the bar of tho Senate.— Adopted.

Mr. Murray, of Howard, moved that tho Senator from Rush como forward and be sworn in.

Objections were raised. 'Mr. W allace, of Montgomery, moved to lay the resolution of Mr. Murray on tho table.

The ayes and noes were called, resulting as follows: ayes 20, noes 27. The ayes and noes on he resolution of Mr. Murray were demanded.

Notice of a contest af the election of Stanley Cooper, as Senator from Rush county, was read to the §anate by the Clerk.

Mr. Heffren, of Washington, made a speech of some minutes against the adoption of Mr. Murray's resolution. He was not in favor of prejudging the case, as there was a notice of a contest in the case from an elector of Rush county. He wished to see some evidenco of the rights of Mr. Cooper to a seat, before he could consent to see him sworn in.

Mr. Suit, of Clinton, said if the seat was contested the evidence in the case would be referred to tho Committee on Elections and if there was a wrong in the case it would there be righted. He had no doubt of Mr. Cooper's right to his seat.

Mr. Wallace, of Montgomery, proceeded to address himself to the question before the Senata. He spoke of the statutes and consciences in the disposition of the case, and read from the statute governing elections. His speech was rather windy for the use of any reporter—traveling into Illinois, Kanses, and elsewhere, for parallel cases to the one under consideration.

Mr. Murray, of Howard, cited the caso of Senator Harlan, of Iowa, who has held his seat in the United Stale Senate for two years, and yet has it under contest. In the case of Whitfield, which Mr. Wallace had mentioned, the occupant of the seat was permitted to keep it until near the close of the session of Congress. He was for the admission of Mr. Cooper now, and thought his caso could he investigated afterwards, and his right thoroughly testel.

Mr. Griggs, of Morgan, thought the Senate had received all the light on the case possible, and moved the previous question. Motton withdrawn.

Mr. Heffren, of Washington, thought the contestant should be brought into the Senate to make out his case. As John L. Robinson was the contestant, he thought tho majority of the Senate would refuse him a hearing, much preferring that the case of contest should be defended by the minority of the Senate rather than by Mr. Robinson.

In reply to the gentleman from Howard who states that Rush county had a right to be represented on this floor he would say that Indiana had a right to be represented on the floor of the United States Senate.

Mr. Murray—Why is not Indiana represented? [Roars of Laughter.] Mr. Slater, of Dearborn, moved to lay Mr. Murray's resolution on the table—ayes 20, noes 26.,

Mr. Wallace moved to suspend action on the resolution until Monday. The ayes and noes were demanded—nyes 20, noes 27.

Mr. Partington, of Monroe, moved to adjourn. Mr. Griggs demanded the aye6 and noes —ayes 20, noes 27.

Mr. Murray moved the previous question on his resolution to admit Mr. CoopAyes 28, noes 19.

The Lieut. Govornor then administered the oath of office to Cooper as Senator from Rush County.

A discussion ensued on rules of order. Mr. Suit, offered a resolution for going into an election of Principal Secretary, Assistant, and Doorkeeper.

Wallace moved to adjourn. Ayes 19, nays 28. Slater of Dcarbon, moved to lay Mr. Suit,s motion on the table. Lost by ayes 19: nays 28.

REPORTED BY LEWIS BOLLMAX.

Thursday Morning, Jan. 8, 1857. The House met at 10 o'clock A. M., and was organized by Mr. Fevering, the former Principal Clerk—the members being sworn in by Judge Gookins of the Supreme Court.

The Representative from Rush was called, Mr. Humphreys objected to Mr. Sexton being sworn, the certificate of his election being insufficient. He said that when any elector objected within ten days after the election the Clerk could not issue a certificate, and without it, no member could be sworn in untill the objections were examined

Mr. Gordon read the Statute, and maintained that the Board of Canvassers are to make a record of the facts and file it with the Clerk, and a Copy of such record certified by the Clerk was sufficient, and that such had been the decision in the Senate two years ago. A general certificate from the Clerk was not necesary.

We are here from the different parts of the State, representing all its varied interests, but having for one single purpose the advancement of our noble Commonwealth in its course of prosperity and greatness. I am assured, therefore, that we shall all unite, heartily in the business of the session and advance as rapidly as we can the many important matters that may be presented for our deliberation and action. In the administration of my office, 1 shall endeavor to extend to each member that courtesev, which is due from the incumbent of this Chair, and am satisfied that the same courtesey will bo reciprocated b}' the House, and that by harmonious action we shall make a Session, creditable to ourselves and to our respective constituency. I thank you, gentlemen, for the compliment which yon have paid me.

TEACHER, PAftEl#, AND PUP|L

ST A TBACHER,

Oar Township Libraries*

Our School Law has no better feature, than that which provides each township with a good Library. All persons who are fond of reading, and who have grown up in a rural community, have deeply felt the want of good books.

Pew of our Farmers have the means to proenre a good library, and the majority of iliose who have the means, lack the inclination to do so and I might add, that of those who have both the money and the desire to purchase books, very few have such an acquaintance with standard literature as to enable them to select proper mental food. The taking trash vended by agents & canvassers, the puffed new books which are thrown off by steam, tales of stirring adventure, and trifling novels, go to make up the libraries of a majority of those who boast of their reading, and of their books. -f

When I wliis A boy, which was not half a dozen years since, I had the advantages of no Township Library, I assure you. I therefore, had to resort to borrowing of the neighbors and a miserable fountain of literature it was, too, from which I drank!— Yellow covered novels were devoured-by dozens—The Western Adventurer Weem's Life of Marion Weem's Washington Hale's School History of the United States and McGuffy's Series of School Readers, are the only books I recollect reading, up to my fifteenth year, from which I derived a particle of benefit, or information. These I read and re-read, till I could almost repeat them verbatim. This will seem more remarkable, when I state, that there was scarcely a book in the School District which I had not read.

This egotistical reminiscence is adduced to show the remarkable scarcity of books in that neighborhood, and there are hundreds of other localities in Indiana equally destitute.

The Township Library feature of our School Law steps in and supplies every man, woman and child in the State, with the privileges of a library, equal, if not superior to those from which many a Statesman, and scholar have drawn their stores of information.

All classes may read it with pleasure and profit.

Nor have the little folks been neglected. They all, no doubt, have read, ere now, "Marco Paul, or Advice in Pursuit of Kuowledge" a series of five capital little yoltimes—Spark's American Biographies, and many others. If they have not, they should immediately.

It will be years, before these Libraries are fully appreciated. But in due time their beneficent founders will be blessed by all. When the men of our day are laid in their graves, and when those who ara now boys, have risen to eminence, and are able to trace thoir success in life to these libraries of the people, then will they be appreciated, and not till then.

Bayard Taylor's Work's.

Who does not take delight in following Bayard Taylor through his world-wide wanderings? You go with him among the rude miners, experience camp-life, and breathe the bracing mountain air of the modern Eldorado—float in his airy boat on the classic Nile, and are lulled to forgetfulness by the music of its waters— stand on the pyramids of Egypt, and gaze far out on the surrounding landscape— wander amid the ruins of grand old Thebes and view with admiration her sublime and ancient ruins, and traverse the desert sands of Arabia, breathiug an atmosphere as pure, and as fiee from miasma as that inhalod by the first man and woman on the morn of creation.

Taylor's works area literary banquet on which the most fastidious epicure may feast with delight.

They are in the Township Library.— Read them:

The Illinois Teacher.

I have received the December No. of this excellent Educational periodical. It contains forty pages of closely printed matter.

The report on the condition of the Peoria Graded Schools shoyvs that that beautiful city is wide awake. "Four Methods of Teaching to Read" is the caption cf an article which is worth, to a practicle teacher, the subscription price. I am really gratified to see that our brethren in Illinois have an Organ so wide awake as the Teacher. ^.

Let every teacher in Montgomery coun* ty sedd for it instanter. TERMS—One dollar a yoar in advance.

The scholar will there find his old and tried favorites—Hume, McCauly and Shakespeare are there. There, too, are Sparks, Irving, Headly, and many other equally brilliant literary lights. The lover of [ight literature will find in the works of Arthur, Abbot, Carey, and others, a harmless and profitable gratification of his taste.

The teacher haa not been passed by unnoticed. I would advise each one to commence with the b«st work on this subject extant "Page on Teaching," and read the whole list of Educational works.

There is no other way that corn can be sold at so good a price than by feeding it to hogs. The N. Y.

been using One of Coffin's Patent

Chissel-tooth Mill-Saws for the last six months, I hesitate not to say that it performs all that is claimed for it, being less liable to run crooked in all kinds of timber, and requiring much less filing, while it is easier kept in order, aud cuts more lumber with the same amount of power than any other saw I ever tried.
