LEGISLATURE. Vi

'•:o The spccial, or extra session, of our State Legislature adjourned on Saturday last, 25th inst. The regular session will

convene on Thursday next the Gth da} of January. We give below the most important bills passed by the special session:

An act to provide for the appraisement of real estate, and prescribing the duties of officers in relation thereto.

An act to authorize the incorporation of Associations formed for building towns within this State and for the transfer to such corporation of real estate, the title to which have been taken in the name of

trustees. An act to authorize, and empower the county commissioners, or board doing county business in any county, to take possession of and control any and all plank, gravel and McAdamized roads in

their respective counties which may have been abandoned by the corporations, An act to prescribe the time, place, and manner of electing United States Senators, and to fix the penalty upon officers failing to certify said election.

An act to enable the holders of unauthorized paper currency to collect the amount thereof from any person, company or corporation heretofore or hereafter issu­

ing or aiding in the issue or circulation thereof. An act to continue (he present Board of Sinking Fund Commissioners, consisting of a President and four Commissioners, and one Clerk, from the 1st of January, 1859, to the 1st Monday of April, 1859, and until their successors are clacted and

qualified. A bill to vest in the assignees of the Branches of the State Bank of Indiana the right to enforce in their own names, either before or after the expiration of the charter of said Bank, the pofsession, collection and enjoyment of the assetts so assigned, and to have legal process, and to acquittances in their own names, and to secure to

Also, a joint resolution directing the

Treasurer of State to appropriate all the public money in his hands as therein provided and directing tho Governor, Treasurer, and Auditor to borrow money of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, or elsewhere, giving the preference to said

fund!

Billiard Table Keepers Indicted. Tho Grand Jury at Cincinnati, have returned true bills of indictment against several billiard table, keepers in that city, under the law prohibiting ,the keeping of gambling apparatus. Thepeflalty of conviction, is a heavy fine and a forfeiiure of tho tables, which must be burned up by the SheriR,--Lafayette Courier.

We publish tho above decision of a Grand Jury,-to show the citizens ofCrawfordsville, what the Courts of Cincinnati think of the keeping of Billiard Saloons. The Jury it will be seen, found bills' of indictment against the koepers of these Billiard Tables, under tho law prohibiting the keeping of'gaming apparatus. We trust this matter of Billiards will be more fully investigated and acted upon throughout the 'country. They are things, unnecessary, and are calculated only to corrupt and demoralize the youth of the country, and

give them a taste for other and more fiend like modes of gambling.

DONE AT LAST.

A gnrd woik has been done at last.— Indiana lias vindicated h*r .-.ovpreignty and the people have asscived their rights.— Tho itnpnsii.rs_who purchased seats in the United States Svinite by truckling to the slave power, have been lehnked. The fraud that gave them the opportunity to use the vote o' the St.i'e to fuive a constitution on a free, -people has (V» r"pudiaf?d. Yesterday h'ti'incon both ll'iuses, by a concurrent rcsohiri-ui. elected Henry S. Lane and Wm: M. Mi-C'arty United States Senators^o fill the vacancy in our delegation in rhat body.

This result, which we confess we did not expect after the defeat of the Senatorial bill, is a matter of congratulation to every honest man in the State. It shows that party drill and Presidential power cannot make the people sanction fraud, or bear an insult in silence. It'tells the usurpers that they, every day they hold those seats is henceforth an outrage, and every dollar they take as a theft. It completes tho rebuke which the Legislature administered at the beginning of the season, and makes the record of the State's vindication cleai and consistent. Whether it will secure to the legal Senators the seats they are entitled to, we do hot know, and, so far as the virtue of the act is concerned, we do not care. It was right to do if, and the right needs no justification from consequences. Whether it will compel tho usurpers to rosign, is haidly doubtful. If they possessed one particle of self respect, or one glimmer of honesty, they would resign. If the Inst of office had not burnt shame out of their hearts, they would resign. If they possessed the least regard to political consistency, they would obey tho "instructions" which as Democrats they profess to hold sacred, and which are now given in no equivocal tones. But their past career proves that they have neither shame nor self-respect left. Men who could declare such an election as they hold office by a "disgrace" and a "fraud," and then accept if, and after a year ot delay at last buy their seats by misrepresenting their State, have no shame. And tneu who could fight for popular sovereignty all over the State, and vote to the last grasp against allowing the people of Kansas to make their own Constitution, have no consistency. There is no danger of their resigning, therefore. Bnt whether they lesign or not, or be expelled or not, this election is a good work. It will compel tho impostors to face their fraud every day, to see their disgrace in every motion touching the question, to feel their defeat in every inquiring glance that seeks out from the galleries the two repudiated impostors of Indiana.

The men who are elected are worthy of the honor. Henry S.Lane is known to every man in the State, and to say that he is honest, able, true, generous and eloquent, is only to repeat an eulogy that repetition has already made threadbare.— Judge McCarty is less known, but he will soon be better known. He has been less prominent than some of his anti-Lecomp-ton Democratic associates, and in all qualities of character and intellect, and in political consistency, he is inferior to none of them. If ho gets his seat he will make a Senator of whom the State may well be proud.—Daily State Journal.

I A

The

reign of "Free Whisky," which

was inaugurated in 1855 by the overthrow of tho Prohibitoiy Law, has convinced even the enemies of that measure that something is necessary to restrain or hold in cho«.k the evils which are inseparable from the traffic in intoxicating drinks.— But what is the appropriate rernody?—or what can be done under the ruling of the. Supreme Conrt that will mitigate these evils?—are questions on which thoso who deploie the existence of the present state of society are far from being united. The Legislature, at its present session, while it raises almost an unanimous voice in favor of the repeal of the statute of 1855, is not likely to agree on any efficient substitute. Under the circumstances, it is proper that tho friends of sobriety and good order should sssemblo in council once more, and indicate their preference on a subject of so much importance. We the undersigned, therefore, unite in a call for a Mass Convention of the Friends of Temperance, without respect to political opinions, to assemble in" Indianapolis on tho 18th day of January, 1859.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 27th.—The Jefferson City Examiner learns from a reliable source, that Fort Scott, Kansas, was attacked on the night of the 15th, by Montgomery at the head of 200 men.

The object of the attack was presumed to be to release one of Montgomery's men who was confined thereunder an indictment for murder. It is feared the town has been entirely destroyed.

WAR IN KANSAS—FORT SCOTT TAKEN BY MONTGOMERY.—We learn through Thomas Murray, Esq., editor of the Warsaw Democrat, the following particulars in regard to a recent outrage by Montgomery's banditti—Mr. R. Melton, of Warsaw, being Mr. Murray's informant.

It appears that one of Montgomery's men had been indicted for murder in the first degree, and was confincd in the jail at Fort Scott, Kansas. Montgomery demandid his release, and threatened if ho were not set at liberty to destroy the town. Of course the citizens of Fort Scott refused to comply with his request, and furthermore sent their defiance to Montgomery.

On Wednesday night, the 15th, two hundred men led by Montgomery, stole upon the town, taking the people of Fort Scott unawares. .(U

Mr. Melton, who had visited Fort Scott on business, immediately mounted his horse and fled. Five or six persons had been killed before he escaped. He thinks Montgomery took the town and destroyed it.

A gentleman from Bates county heard heavy commanding during Wednesday night.

The Bates county Standard of the llth. in giving an account of tho troubles in Linn county, Kansas, between the citizens and Montgomery's band of outlaws, corroborates the statement made by our correspondent two weeks since. That paper adds: "The citizcns of Linn county have organized, and are resolved on the arrest of Montgomery and his men—writs being in the hands of the officers for that purpose. At the latest information, Montgomoery, with about seventy men, were erecting fortifications."

This has been proved in our family within a few weeks and in numerous other cases related to us without the knowledge of the proprietor. We have only to add that this most valuable article is for salo by the proprietor, at No. 312 Broadway, and 11*1 Market Street, St. Louis.

CAUTION.—Beware of worthless imitations as several are already in the market called by different names. Use none unless the words (Professor Wood's Hair Restorative, Depot, St. Louis, Mo and New York,) are blowrft in the bottle.— Sold by all Druggists and Patent Medicine daelers. Also by all Fancy and Toilet Goods dealers in the United States and Canadas.

Bring us a few loads of Wood—

we need it at the office, immediately.
