THE EAGLE. OiriCUl PAPBR OF Till COCNTT. DECATUR, lADIAyT FRIDAY, APRILIS, 1569. The Cincinnati Richmond A Fort Wayne Railroad. The election of Directors for the C. R. <fc Ft. W. Raiload took place on the 7th, inst. The new Board chose Mr. Parry as President. The proposition to change the location of the road by the way of Ridgeville Portland and Decatur carried by a large majority, but two of the Directors opposing the proposition. Mr. Parry stated that taking into consideration the work already done on the old line, the new line just a dopted could be built at an expense of 875,000 less than the.old line, while a much larger amount could be realized in the way of subscriptions, saying northing a bout the other advantages, such avoiding a road a portion of the way. The road will be put under contract to Ridgeville 1 immediately, and will be complet-' ed to Winchester in a short time. | The Adams county delegation i met J. K. Edgerton, President of, the Grand Rapids road, when re-1 turning. He had just been to New j York in the interest of his road and had been able to effect such : arrangements as will secure the completion of the road. He

spoke very encouragingly of our road and said there was no doubt now that it would be built. The Personal Integrity of Governor Baker. Two “loyal” men Cumback and ; Baker had a little “unpleasantness” a short time since, arising from the laudable ambition of the former to aspire to a seat in the United States Senate. During the i difficulty the veracity of both men . was called in question, when Cum- ; back went to the wall. Baker was' a man of truth, without reproach, i Measured in the light of recent events the case would, perhaps, be j modified. During the joint canvass last fall between Senator Hendricks and Gov. Baker, when the latter was hard pressed, when ; victory was doubtful, when it was ! necessary to secure the vote of every doubtful man, Gov. Baker, at Peru, announced himself opposed to negro suffrage in Indiana, ; and pledged himself before the > people to use his influence in op- I position to such a measure in as ' •mphntic terms as would satisfy . the mo t dubious mind. The declaration he. at that time made,] unquestionably secured his elec- ’ tion ns Gov. of Indiana In the course of human events the fifteenth amendment, i reposing more than negro suffrage :sufferage without regard to race, color or previous condition was sent him, asking him ti present it -to the i GeucraF Assembly of Indiana for their approval. Governor Baker as in duty boiru] present*! the i name to the Legislature ; but con-1 trnry to the pledge he made ar’t’eru before assembled thousands, recommended its passage. Nav. more, when the Democratic members resigned he ordered special j elections and has done every thing possible to secure the passage of i an amendment to the constitution 1 of the I nited States in direct conflict with his pledge made to the people. riss ’ .

there was n time when men had some regard for their plighted word ; when men would scern to sacrifice their personal integrity to ’ aecure a party triumph ; but that time haa passed in Indiana. When the beat men of the party fall, God ; help the worst. - - . J lie wrangle in the Ix?gisla- ' tnre occupies considerable space in this number of our paper, to the exclusion of other matter. e are anxious to lay before our readers the action of the dominant party upon the question of negro suffrage, that those who have heretofore acted with the party may know where they stand, and in the future refuse their support to a party that falls to fulfill the pledges made to the people.

“Asheley fell to rise again. The unanimous voice of the Republi- 1 can members of Congress has ; proven irresistible. The granite firmness of Grant has melted like snow fiefore the beaming confidence of the blooming Ashley. . Ashley—General James M Ashley. of Ohio—is to be Governor of Montana? The great resolution to trust the critical affairs of that Territory to the care of the ample Ashley was formed in a I Cabinet meeting held yesterday. The Gubemational Chair of Montana is a place that has, from a standpoint in the States, the en- . chanting recommendation of distance. In the bourse of two or i three years at most Ashley will return to Washington a Senator from the State of Montana. In .the meantime, he can cultivate , ‘town sights' with all the force of enterprising virtue.’

The Special Session of the I , Legislature. t The Bth, of April Was the day fixed by Gov. Baker for the Leg- ' islature to meet in special session. The day arrived, but the Democratic members refused to qualify 1 until the Jacobin members would pledge themselves not to force the passage of the fifteenth amendment, until it had been submittedto th'e people. For that purpose they submitted the following proposition to the Radical members: 1. That the Legislature take up and dispose of all necessary legislation, especially the measures referred to in the governor’s proclamation calling the special session, and then that all the iqem bers, of both parties, resign, in order that there may be held an election with especial reference to the Ethiopian amendment. 2. That the legislature proceed to act upon all necessary measures of legislation, and also pass a joint resolution to take the sense of the people, by a direct vote upon the Ethiopian amendment. 3. That the legislature proceed to enact all necessary measures of legislation, and then adjourn, without taking anj r action whatever upon the Ethiopian amendi ment. The Republicans did not respond to those propositions. Several of the most radical members proposed that they proceed to business without the required constitutional quorum. The time from the Sth, to the 11th, was passed in discussing various propositions, without arriving at any , conclusion. As a sample of the 1 character of their debates we quote the telegraphic report of the Sen-

tinel's proceedings on the 11th. Indianapolis, Ind, April 11.— i The legislative hitch still contin- : ues, but which some probability of • a settlement. On Friday night seventeen republican, senators and ■ representatives united in a private i written pledge that they would ' vote with the democrats to accomi plish all necessary legislation, and to postpone the consideration of the 15th amendment until the democrats bad ample time to dei feat it, by resignation, or other- , wise; that such a pledge had been 1 given was proclaimed in the senate .yesterday, and two republican I senators, Messrs. Fisher and Rob j inson, admitted that they signed , the pledge; and that if the demo- | j cratic members would qualify, they j ( and the other members, who had | ( signed it would carry out its obli- j, gation in good faith. The demo-1 • cratic caucus will meet tomor ow, and from present appearance* ( it is probable that the new mem- ( bers will qualify ; but an arrangement will be made for all to promptly resign whenever the amendment is obtruded upon tb» legislature by the majority. Indainapolis, Apri’ 11.—In the senate, at the morning session, the secretary called the roll, and read the names of the unrepresented districts, but no response was heard. The following was offered : llesotvcd, That the secretary of ; state furnish a certified statement lof the returns for the election of ! senators made vacant by resignation at the session. The lieutenant governor decided that no resolution could be | passed or certified unless there were two thirds of the members present in the senate. A legthy discussion then ensued upon the power of the legislature to remedy the existing difficulty, . and to organize the senate when a I portion refuse to qualify, and pre vent a quorum. ,The lieutenant governor said it . was very clear that when there was less [han a quorum, the only ' thing that the senate could do was Jto adjourn from day to day, and compel the attendance of absent. members. Mr. Cravens controverted the ; ' position of the president, and! i offered a resolution to ascertain ! who had been elected, with a view j . oQ.aking steps to compel the at-1 tendance of absent members. He was willing to use the entire pow- I er of the state to force them to i qualify. Mr. Hooper insisted that in 16 or 17 districts there were vacancies because the members refused to qualify. Mr. Bradley showed how vacancies could occur; hut the vacancy must be declared by proper authority. Mr. Scott argued to the effect j that the constitution gave the mem liers elected ajid qualified the pow- : . er to preserve the legislative pow- j er of the state. 1 The lieuteant governor said the constituion provided that it should take two thirds of each house to constitute a quorum, and to do ' business with less than that numl>er, only certain acts could be ‘ I done. i Mr. Kinky said there was cer- ? tainly a time when the unqualified members ceased to be members. i Mr. Bradley aaid that would be l when 34 members were there to do > i business, and declare their seats ’recant

Mr. Gray could not bring himself to believe that they could go on with legislative business with less than the number prescribed by the constituion. Mr. Rice thought the resolution wouldjdo no good. Elected men were not senators until they were sworn in. He said :“I will tell you where the difficulty is, and the . people will hold us to a strict accountabilty. These members will come into their seats in five minutes. When I left homo I came with the instructions from every man I spoke to postpone the constitutional amendment. We can give assurance, by a vote, that the senses is that the question should be postponed.” [Cries of Never, never.] “Then,” said Mr. Rice, “the people will hold you to a strict responsibility,” He was willing to give the assurance to satisfy the absent members, so that the regular business could proceed. Mr. Fisher said that he had signed a paper to give that assurance. v Rr. Robinson said 17 senators and representatives had signed such a paper, and that he was one. The resolution was adopted, aud senate adjourned till 2 o’clock on Monday. The house met and called the roll, which showed 52 members present. Various motions were offered, and finally the house adjourned until Monday, at 2:30 o’clock, by a vote of yeas 28, nays 20. Indianapolis, April 12.—The legislative hitch was settled to- , day, and both branches organized > this afternoon. The democratic ' caucus, this morning resolved ' that the newly elected mem-

bers should qualify under the writen pledge of 18 senators and representatives, that no action should be had upon the amendment until ample notice had been given of such intention. After the house had organized, a resolution was promptly passed, and made binding, fixing upon the 11 of May for the consideration of the amendment. The business of the session will not be entered upon until the governor’s message has been received, which will pro bably be read by him to-morrow afternoon. Indianapolis, April 12. —The speaker called the house to order at 2 o’clock. The clerk called 1 the roll of qualified member, and the unrepresented districts, with names of the members elected, and all responded but Cunningham, Mc Bride, and Davis, of Floyd. A resouition was adopted deciding that all the elective officers of the house, elected at the regu lar sessron, are entitiled to hold their offices during the official continuance of the present general assembly. The speaker, then, in a brief address resigned his position. The house proceeded to the electionofa speaker. George A. Buskirk received 55 votes, and James D. Williams 42. Mr. Price, of Porter, said : “For the purpose of settling the diffl culty which has kept oiw democratic friends so long out in the col<l, I submit the following:

llesylved, The the considera tion of the ratification of the fifteenth amendment proposed to the constitution of the United States, I be postpond till Tuesday, the 11th day of May next." This was adopted without a division, and the motion to reconsider was laid upon the table. ! Adjourned to 9 o’clok to-mor-row. In the senate the secretary read the roll of the represented districts and when he reached the districts of Grant, Blackford, and Jay, it was announced that the senators from these counties was ready to i be sworn in’and he was qualified. I Twenty-seven were present. Mr. Hooper offered a long

preamble, setting forth the facts , of the resignation of the senators in March ; the holding of the <pecii al'elections, and the failure of the | newly elected membes to qualify, and the president of the senate was instructed to testify to the governor that the vacancies had i happened in these’districts by the ! failure of the persons elected to qualify. The lieutenant governor decided the resolution in order. * Mr. Bradley suggested a delay, as he thought its adoption would only delay organization. Alter lengthy debate, the further consideration of the resolution was postponed until to-morrow afternoon. At this poitft the I newly elected senators appeared, presented their credentials, and the oath of officer was administer-1 ed by Judge Chapman. A message was received from ' the house annoucing its organization. The officers’of the senate”Jwere continued during the special session, unless hereafter otherwise | II ordered. A resolution was adopted au- • • thorizing a Joint committee to > I wait upon the governor and imi; form him of the organization. Adjourned until to-morrow.
