To the PmpU of Indimna: UsTing received manj letters of inquiry concerning the present condition of (be State, asking how far the failure of the Legislature lo pass tiie General Appropriation, Revenue and Asnewment laws, will affect the interests of Indiana, I take this method of replying, without waiting until thw laws and journals are distributeu. By laws which were passed by previous Legislatures, provision is made for sustaining every department of the Government, excepting the Benevolent Institutions. The tax is levied for the support of the Common Schools, and two cents upon each one hundred dollars for the purpose of paying the principal of the public debt. As long as there is money in tiie Treasury belonging to the State, it is believed that there is an authority to pay the interest on said debt. You see the patients from the Insane Asylum and the pupils from the Deaf and Dumb, being returned to the various counties, and inquire why this is done. You are aware that on the 13th day of February, 1543, the Legislature passed “an act to provide means to support a Deaf and Dumb Asylum in the State of Indiana;” tliat on the 13th day of January, 1S46, the Legislature passed “an act authorizing the erection of suitable buildings for the use of the Indiana Hospital for the Insane;” and also, on the same day, “an act for the Education of the indigent Blind of this State.” These Institutions have had appropriations made lor their support up to 1857, as follows:

. £>7,135 70 . £13,190 39

Hospital for the Insane institution for the Education of the Blind.... Institution for EducaUou of Uea' and Dumb.

Making In all *1«3,U£> OH You not only believed that it was an act of humanity to establish and maintain these institutions, but also that it was true economy—that their unfortunate inmates could be supported with more comfort to themselves, and with less expense, in the State Institutions, than in the county prisons and poor houses. So careful were you to protect and sustain them, that you provided in sec. 1, art. 3, of your present Constitution as follows : “It shall be the duty of the General Assembly to provide, by law, for the support of Institutions for tiie Education of the Deaf and Dumb, and of the Blind, and also lor the treatment of the Insane;” and no man in the State imagined that there would he found at any time a majority of either branch of any Legislature so reckless as to lay their destroying hands upon these proud monuments of your charity, alter you had given them their solemn instructions in tire Constitution. The House of Representatives, at the last session of (.he Legislature, on the 5th day of March, 1857, passed “an act making general appropriations lor the years 1857 and 1858,” which on the same day was reported to the Senate. This act contained the necessary allowances to sup]srrl these Institutions; but a majority of the Senate refused to pass said act. Thus you lind yourselves in this condition.— While you have paid your taxes lor the year 1856 into the State Treasury, part of which you intended should be applied to the support of these Asylums for the present year, this majority in the Senate has refused to allow it to be paid out for that purpose, thereby compelling the return of the pupils and patients to their various counties— thus burdening you with additional expense and

taxation.

Again; on the 13th day of January, 1846, the Legislature passed an act to provide lor the funded debt of the State, in which your faith was solemnly pledged for the payment of the interest on said debt; and on the 27th of January, 1847, another act of the Legislature was passed, repeating the obligation given in the previous year to the creditors of Indiana. Ever since these acts were passed the State has maintained her faith and credit, the result of which has been to encourage the introduction of population and capital into the State. Every department of business revived and prospered. Your splendid system of railroads was carried on—the improved facilities for transporting the products of your soil increased rapidly the value of your real estate. Yet this same minority of the Senate refused to pass any law providing for raising any revenue for the years 1857 and 1858, by which the interest on said debt could be paid for the year 1858. The House of Representatives, on the 27th day of February, 1857, passed “ an act to raise Revenue for State purposes, for the years 1857 and 1858,’* and on the same day, said act was reported to the Senate. This act provided lor assessing fifteen cents on each $100 worth of real and personal property in the State, and the majority of the Senate refused to pass said act. So that if the officers of State shall be able to borrow an amount of money sufficient to pay the interest, as it may come due, you will in the future necessarily have the taxes of three years assessed in one, the inevitable consequence of which will be, to encourage migration from the State, and depreciate the valae of your property. Again; there has been no revaluation of your real estate since 1851. In the intermediate time, the relative value of this class of property has materially changed, so that the burthens of government fall unequally upon the tax payers. The House of Representatives passed an act providing for such revaluation, but it failed to command the approbation of a majority of the Senate. I am satisfied that a large nuyority of the citizens of the State are in favor of all these measures; indeed, for the last twelve years, however much they may have differed concerning the policy to be pursued in the administration of the Federal Government, they have generally agreed upon our domestic policy. This conclusion will be fairly arrived at when you reflect with what unan imity you adopted your present Constitution, which expressly provided for similar measures. And no roan elected as a Representative to either branch of the General Assembly, while canvassing for your suffrage, occupied the position of hostility to any of them. If then, you, the people of the State, are in favor of these measures, your Representatives have fidled to carry out your will, you inquire what is the remedy for this fiulure to act on the part of the Senate? I see none, uni the Senators, upon reflection, shall change their opinions on these questions, or those entertaining different opinions are elected by you. You provided in Sec. 29 of Art 4 of the Con stitution, that the regular session of the General Assembly should continue for 61 days. That session was duly held and continued for the full constitutional term, and you have seen the result You provided also, in Sec. 9 of said Art 4, that, “if in the opinion of the Governor, the public welfcre shall require it, he may at any time, by proclamation, call a special seatton.” 1 entertain no doubt that the public welihra would be promoted by the passage of the acts which the Senate refood to pass ; all of which oouhf be dan in a ••■ion of not exceeding ten day*. Bit what M the hop* of such a result? There was no went of time foe the Senate to pern theee lows. The House of Repteeentativoe placed all

of the Senate, of that body.

night of the session they food ample time to'pern the Spodflc Appropriation BUL whieb provided for the payment of their own employees, and, by a direct vote, refused to consider either the Reveneeor General Appropriation Klla. Every appeal which either humanity or patriotism could suggest was made in vain. They did not regard thebasinees before them as so important that itpo^ild not bejMStponed, while they appropriated $15,000 for the payment of the employees of the Legislature; but yet so important that not one dollar could be appropriated to sustain the deaf and dumb—blind and insane—or a dollar of taxes ■seemed to sustain the plighted faith of the State, all of whieh could have been aeoompHshed in less than an hour. Nor wae it alone during the last days sad hours of the session that a majority of the Senate disregarded the Constitution you had established as the ftmdameutal law of the State. On the first day t* 1 * 1 the Legislature assembled, this same majority undertook to organize the Senate against the provisions of the Constitution, as found in Sec. 21 of Art. 5, which reads as follows: “ The Lieutenaut Governor shall, by virtue of his office, be President of the Senate,” by endeavoring to elect a Senator to act os Lieutenant Governor.— So satirtfied were they of the illegality of this attempt at usurpation, that they did not record it in the journals of their proceeding*!. They refused to attend in the Hall of the House of Representatives in accordance with the usual custom, to hear the message of my predecessor. Section 4 of Article 5 requires that the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall open and publish the returns lor Governor and Lieutenant Governor, in the presence of both Houses of the General Assembly. They refused, when duly invited to attend, and have said returns opened and published in their presence. Afterwards, on the 2d day of February, when the Senate had been adjourned by its presiding officer, less than a quorum of the Senate assembled in the Senate Chamber, and, upon motion, without even the form of an election, placed one of their number in the Chair, and proceeded to expel the Senator from the County of Clark from his seat. Well knowing that their proceedings were in direct violation of the constitution, they did not even certify to the Executive Department that said seat was vacant, so that an election could be ordered. But from said 2d day of February, until the close of the session, the Secretary of the Senate, chosen by these men, refused to call the name of the Senator, when directed by the Presi

dent of the Senate.

Thas, alter the Legislature had been in session for the full constitutional term of 61 days, alter they hod expended more than $90,000, they ad joumed, leaving Indiana without the laws essential to maintain her honor and credit. And from the day of said adjournment up to this time, 1 have seen nothing which inclines me to believe that the 40 days of a coiled session would not be as fruitless of good as the 61 days of the lost, do not believe that it is either for the welfare or honor of the State tliat a special session should be colled, and $6U,000 more of your money expended in re-enacting the scenes of last winter. If you desire the passage of these laws, you have it in your power to make your Representatives obey

your will.

The State was brought to its present condition by no act of the Executive. There has been no interference with the rightsand privileges of the Legislative Department. One branch of that de partment in no haste, but after calm and mature deliberation, has declared that they would not sustain the Constitution. It is to be regretted by all good citizens that Indiana, while she is growing in wealth and influence, should be struck down from her proud position, without giving to you, the people, any right to pass judgment upon the action of the men who gave the blow; tliat your Representatives, without giving you any warning, should proceed to fasten on you all the odium of repudiation—throw back upon you the inmates of your asylums, where they were being restored to reason or educated for usefulness. To all men I have said, teat as far as the measures alluded to are concerned, they command my approval. And when there is a substantial hope that your Representatives will pass them, I will exercise the power vested in me under the Constitution, and call a special session of the General Assembly. ASHBEL P. WILLARD. Executive Defartmixt, l Indianapolis, Ind., April 23,1857.) D* A man in New York, who had two illegitimate children by a woman of an infamous character, desired to gain the custody of the children, and applied to the New York Legislature for an act to legitimate the children, and give him the rights of a parent. The act passed. On the protest ana counter representations of the mother, the act was, a few days after, unconditionally repealed. The children having once been made legitimate by law, the question is now, can the repeal of the law make them illegitimate? The power of tiie Legislature can legitimate a bastard, but it cannot bastardize a legitimate.

The Truateea ®f thia Institute* had a meeting on Tuesday last, at whieh all foe menberottf the Board were present.

consent of one or more on the other side. Tiie order to close (he Asylum and discharge the inmates was made when a majority of Republicans were present, one Democrat being absent. The Republicans were then responsible for this aefian. That order is now In foil force, and fob Superintendent, Doctor At bon, has no right to continue a patient in the Institution upon any conditions whatever. Every patient will be first removed, before any arrangement is made to open the Asylum again in any manner. j At the meeting on Tuesday the discussion upon the future policy of the Trustees was warm and exciting. It was estimated that it would cost about $475 per month to pay the salaries of the officers and assistants, which the Board are bound to pay. It was proposed and determined that patients should, be received at the Asylum, the counties sending bearing that expense pro rata in addition to the cost of provisioning them. Marion county only sent her 16 patients, it may cost about $60 per month for each one. As the number increased, the cost for sustaining each patient would be lessened, until, if die entire number of patients that were in the Asylum should be sent back by the various counties of the Staty, it would not exceed from $12 to $15 for each one. And those counties tliat are desirous of making this arrangement, can correspond with Dr. Athon upon the subject, who is authorized to receive and dispose of ail such applications. It will be remembered, then, that the greater the number sent, the less will be the expense for each patient, for the expense of the officers and assistants will be the same for a small number as a large. Dr. Ritchie and Mr. Grimes, both Republicans, were opposed to opening the Asylum upon any condition. They desired to close it entirely, and hold it as a rod over Governor Willard to compel him to call an extra session of the Legislature. They were willing to sacrifice all their humanity, close the door against any arrangement to provide for the Insane in the State Institution, permit them to endure privations and sufferings, to accomplish a political end—to gratify partizan spleen. This is lair specimen of the sentiment which controls the leaders and managers of the Republican party

of Indiana.

In its representations of public affaire, we hope the Journal, hereafter, will have a little regard to truth and facts, and not sacrifice all for politi-

cal purposes.

Did Dr. Burdell Jla.ry Cunuiug-

llttlll !

Is a question that is agitating the xwfortunate inhabitants of the city of New Y ork. On Monday last, in Surrogate’s Court before A. W. Bradford, a new character appeared upon the stage, whose testimony is thus told by the N. Y. Post: Dr. Samuel W. Parmlee, a dentist residiug at No. 3U Bond street, (directly opposite Dr. Burden’s residence,) the only witness called alter our report dosed yesterday, testified that Dr. Marvin described the man whom he married to Mrs. Cunningham as 70 years of age, and wealing long and heavy black whiskers. The other two points of Dr. Parmlee’a testimony were, that he had frequently seen a lady and gentleman—Mrs. Cunningham, he thought, but certainly not Dr. Burdeii, with her—whom he supposed to be man and wife, in the room in the third story of 31, opposite his house—Mrs. Cun ningham’s room—and that on the 28th of October, between five and six o’clock, P. M., he observed a man, not Dr. Burdell, in that room, who appeared to be dressing. On looking a second time a few minutes afterwards, the gentleman’s appearance was changed about his face and head, and the change gave him the impression that he was connected with the theater, and was dressing himself for the stage. 1 — O* A very large number of men are now at work on the Fort Wayne Railroad, between Jeffersonville and the intersection with the Ohio and Mississippi Road at North Vernon. It is expected to have the road finished in June, when there will he a six feet guage all the way from Jeffersonville to Cincinnati, and bring those points within four hours run of each other.

At foe inauguration of foe pres«»t City Council, it waa ascertained that the city was in debt more than $20,090, and not a dollar of wnulafale the member* of the Council that aonething must be dune, or at toast an effort made to provide means to meei thi* deficit, and aid in defraying foe current expenses of foe city. Much conversation was had among foe members as to the best means of attaining the object, and a loan was suggested and generally approved. Accordingly,on the 19th of June, on motion of Dr. Dunlap, the committee on Finance were directed by the Council to draft and report an ordinance providing for a loon. On the 7fo of inly, Mr. Palmer, from the committee on Finance, presented an ordinance authorizing a loan on the bonds of the city, which was read a first and second time. Mr. Maguite moved that in consequence of an emergency which is declared to exist, that the rules be suspended and the ordinance read a third time now, which was adopted by unanimous consent; and the ordinance waa read a third time and passed by

unanimous consent.

August 18th, Mr. Maguire presented a resolution that be appointed agent of the city to negotiate a loan on a portion of the city bonds.— Mr. Palmer moved to fill the blank for agent with the name of J. D. Skeen, which was adopted, and the resolution was thereupon passed by a unani mous vote, the ayes and noes being taken. It is well to remark here, that the subject of itrusting this agency to Mr. Skeen had been a matter of frequent conversation among the members of the Council, and Mr. Skeen himself hud been before the Council and explained the manner and the prospects in his mind in relation to the proposed loan. No other name was mentioned at the time of the appointment. On the 2d day of September, Mr. Palmer, from the Finance Committee, introduced a resolution authorizing Mr. Skeen, the agent, to negotiate the loan at an interest not exceeding 10 per cent., and to deposit the funds in the Bank of North America, in the city of New York, to the credit of the City Treasurer, which was adopted by all the members present, except Mr. Maguire, who

declined voting.

On the 6th of October, Mr. Palmer moved that Mr. Skeen, foe agent, be authorized to hypothecate $20,000, one-half of which should be paid down in good bank paper, and foe balance to be deposited to the credit of foe City Treasurer, in the banking house of Winslow, Lanier & Co., New York, proper security being taken for the re-delivery of the bonds on foe final payment of the loan, which was adopted by unanimous vote. Subsequent to the passage of the resolution of the 2d of October, it became very doubtful whether foe loan could be obtained from the source first contemplated, but from information received it was rendered probable that Messrs. Winslow, Lanier & Co. would loan the city $20,000 on a hypothecation of all the bonds ; hence the adoption of this resolution of the 6th of Oc-

tober.

On the 1st December Mr. Palmer moved that J. D. Skeen, the city loan agent, be directed to recall the bonds intrusted to his charge, so soon as the same can be obtained with safety : Provided, that if the parties having possession of said bonds, (Winslow, Lanier & Co.,) shall immediately close the contract for said loan; then, in such case, said agent is directed to close the same, and to cause the funds to be deposited as heretofore directed ;

which was adopted by a unanimous vote.

On the 8th December, Mr. Palmer made a verbal statement to the Council, saying he had in-

formation that there was yet some

foe loan would be taken, and moved mat tne recall of the bonds be postponed 20 days, which was

adopted by consent.

On the 19th Janua.y, 1857, Mr. Palmer offered a resolution, directing that Mr. Skeen, the agent heretofore appointed to negotiate a loan on the bonds of the city, be requested to recall foe city bonds which have been entrusted to his charge for the purpose aforesaid, and that previous to the transmission of said bonds from New York, said agent shall cause said bonds to be cancelled by such obliterations, cuttings and punching, as shall effectually prevent foe future use or fraudulent perversion of the same; which was adopted. On the 2d March, Mr. Delzell moved that the committee on finance be directed to ascertain in whose hand were foe city bonds intrusted to Mr.

Skeen, agent; which was adopted.

Mr. Palmer, the chairman of the committee on finance, wrote to Messrs. Winslow, Lanier & Co making inquiry of them, to which inquiry they answer Mr. Palmer, under date of March 12, say-

ing foe bonds were in their hands.

On the 11th of March, Mr. Patterson gave members of the Council information that he had had an interview with Mr. Lanier, (who then happened to be in Indianapolis,) and learned from him that Mr. Skeen had hypothecated $21,000 of foe bonds, as security for a loan of $5,000, and that the remaining bonds were in their hands for safe

keeping.

On receiving this information from Mr. Patterson, a consultation was held among members of foe Council, and resulted in an immediate call for a meeting of foe Council, and the adoption of a

resolution revoking foe agency of Mr. Skeen, and notifying Messrs. Winslow, Lanier Co. of foe

same,

As it has been sought to make political capital out of thia matter, it has been deemed right to give a detailed history of all foe proceedings. It is not the purpose of foe writer of this, to arraign, excuse, or apologise for any, either individual or body politic, but merely to say that the whole proceedings, so far as the City Council has been concerned, have been attended with unusual unanimity, without a particle of party influence ; and with an eye and desire, on the part of each and every member of foe Council, to promote the interests of the city. It will not be out of place to say, that the contemplated loan was mainly intended to pay off foe city debt, contracted by the previous Council, but no bias of feeling or political influence guided anyone, as that matter was never mentioned or alluu«4 to in foe action of foe Council, in regard to the loan, or tb« appointment of foe agent. X. Hr “ Pictor,” foe well known Boston correspondent of the N. Y. Evening Post, says in his

last letter:

“Mr. Kalloch has received a thousand dollars in money from a number of pions people. I think there are people here who would do all that he did —‘whisky sins’ and all—for half foe money; but then, as the Boly Clerk of Copmanhurst would say, they act after foe manner of foe ignorant laity. There is a gusto about a parson’s sins that, it should seem, renders them peculiarly acceptable, and worthy of being paid for at foe rate of two

hundred cents on the dollar.”

Mr. Stanton in Kansas.—Hon. F. P. Stanton, foe newly appointed Secretary of Kansas, arrived at Leavenworth City on foe 13th hist., and delivered an address to foe people. He announced himself a native of Vinpnia, and a resident of Tennessee, and suggested that his hearers would understand from these facts what are his “ proclivities” on the slavery question. He regreted foe determination oi foe Free State men of Kansas not to vote in foe election of delegates to the State Convention stating that foe constitution to be formed would be adopted. He declared further that the Territorial laws should be enforced. Dr. Stringfellow preceded Mr. Stanton. It was election day, and hence the speaking. Dr. Stringfellow stated that his first object was to make Kansas a slave State; and foiling in this, he should strive, as foe next beat thing, to make it a Democratic Free State. The Free State men express dislike of Stanton’s avowals, thinking he has already joined foe pro-slavery party.—St Louis In-
