' The 1 democrats

were willing to accept a bill providing a fair and 1 e. apportionment, but they promptly decided b at tbey would net passs any measure opon the renditions demanded by tbe republicans. Ia consequence of this determination the bill -whicb had parsed, the House for increaaiog the goTfTfOf'a aalary from $l,5U9 to $2.W0 a year, was lost, and during the term of Uor. VTillaeü there was no addition of compensation, but a law was enacted under his admlcistntion, which gave his successor $3,000 a yer. The present eaecutive has hod the benefit of this Inereaicd piy, although bis political friend defeated a bill intended to gir e his predeccsior in office $2,500 jear. S ' . ' A few weeks ago ibeie was held in this city a . mMtinc of manvof the members of the legisla0 tore, without distinction of party, to take into consideration tne expediency f raisins the pty cf til public officers, including the members of the general asjembly. Some of the leadiog republicans pre?ent at tne meeting took ground against the proposition, for the rtJon, po far as the members of the leIela lure were concerted, tnat they knew when they accepted the noocioatioD and election to the posi tion, mhat tbe totnpen?Un was, henre thej could not with propriety k for more pny. Tbe arp'umect w?s tho u?ed that members should be willing to put up with the inadequate compensation o long as our olJ'er in the Hei J, who were fihtinr the baltle of their country, were receiv ing onlv $IG a month from the government for their services. If this poviion holds good in the case of the merger of the general assembly, it can Le applied with n;ml tWe to all officers in thaetvil employment ol loth the Ute od os tionil governments Governor Monro: knew joit whit the saUrj cf the position waa when he accepted the nonuni on for re-election, an I tins remark wi.I r.oJO tue in regard to 51 who were seeiing cjtii dees at the Ute election. All knew just the compensation att tcbed to the portions they were strivin- to obtain, hence if one cl has no jut ground for an incre.te ofxy. ujn that ground, udcr thepeculiir circxtrattnees of the country, the rule will apply with cquil force to all. We believe tbat an adequate compensation should be attached to every employment in the public ser vice, 0 as to secure the beU tilent to dichirgc Ju dutiej witn filelity and integrity. The pty should be ?ufflc;ent to prevent any abujc of the tru.t confided to a public officer to advance bis per?ontl interest. And this com nensiition ahoutd be Cxed without any reference to pirtisan symp-ithics or prejudices. 1 he pirty friends of Governor MoaTOS say that the salary O $3,000 a year, double thit received by his p edecesors io office, with all the perquisites at tached, not sufScieut to suppc-rt His Excellency in a M? le bfiuinff the chief executive of a ffreit state l.ke Indian. A comraoneaUh as rich aad powerful as oura ahouU not be niggrl ly in thit regird, yet while it is libertl to one Officer ic should be equally o to all in the public service. At a time . like the . prciett. Eowcver, when the nation . h a-ruggl'ic; to muntain its very life, there should bs rigid economy in er cry branch of the public service not only, but public servants hould be willing to make sscrifice to maintain the national credit which they are supposed to represent. We are unwilling to believe that Governor Mostox is influenced by mercenary motives that he desires to make money out of his position, and it should be remembered that he ha? not asked for any increase of pay. But if tbe present ealry is not ufüeient to urport the governor in the dignity and style which be thinks due bis elevated position, there ein be no reasonable objection to making it ample for thoe pur poses.

VOTE ra GOVERNOR. A message was received from the House of Representatives, announcing the passage by that body of a resolution inviting the Senate to a joint convention on Monday next at 2 o'clock p ni . for the purpose of open:tg and publishing the returns ol the election for governor and lieutenant governor. On motion of Mr. Downey tie Senate subsequently accepted the invitation. The committee on rules reported the same rule, with few exceptions, that governed the Senate last teaion. Mr. Mason moved to refer the vote back to ti e coirm'ttee wit'i the following instruction: To report infrJmf:.t so ihtt the president shall take his seat and call the Senate to order at 2 o'clock p m of eachdiy. unless the Srn- ; alj urns to another hour. Mr. Downey favored the motion to re commit. Mr. Bennett &!o named many reasons why the Senate should have no session in the forenoon. Mr Van Bskirk insisted that members could be able to vote more intelligibly on all questions after they shall have canvassed in the committee room. Mr. Corbin cuuld see no inconvenience arising from the rele requiring tbe sessions to commence at 'J oVIock. Mr. Downey offered as a substitute for the mo lion to recommit an amendment to the report of the committee on rules, which ahuuU.fix tie daily session hours at 2 o'clock p. ra.- ' Mr. Mason accepted the amendmeot as a sub stitute for hia motion. - Messrs.

more work in the committee rooms, when caosbt ; there, than ir, the Senate chamber. It would facilitate the passage of measures recommended by . committees. Ii we find it doe r ot work well we can make a change. ; Mr. Dowrey replied to the , ejections naiaed by Messrs. Williams, Corbin and Oyler, success- j fully refuting thera, and showing conclusively, that more work could be Joe iu this body by j giving on the forenoon or the committee meet lag than by holding seons of the Senate. Mr. Nile hoped no additional remarks would j be necessary iu favor of this proposition. He : certainly thought the change proposed is the very best that could bo made. A committee could consider more diipas-ionately any prooos'tiou tluu it can be done in the Seuate proper. He did tot desire to Le compelled to sit here six hours every dar and theu to k lo a committee room aficr dark. The Senate can certainly act more undertdandingly on every question that shall first be considered in the committee room. Mr. Williams insisted that be bad never ex pcrienced any inconvenience from tbe rule as be had submitted it in the committee report. Mr. Bennett again showed the great value of the proposed amendment. Tbe amendment was then rejected by yeas 23, navs 2C. The report from the committee on rules was then concurred in by consent. SENATE COMMITTEES. 3Ir. McCIurg offered the following resolu tion: Whereas, The political parties in this Senate are equally divided; and whereas, the question of contested seats ought to be settled upon a just and proper basis; and it is desirable to organize a committee on elections which shall, as near as possible. pive satisfaction to the Senate; therefore, Resolved, That the Hon. Paris C. Dunning be declared chairman of said committee. Resolved, That the president, in appointing the remaining members of said committee, be requeued to divide them equally, politically. Mr. Dunning said be desired to be relieved from the operation of the resobition yesterday afternoon. teuiri!2 him to appoint the standiiig committees Mr. Cobb favore-1 the passage öf the resolu tion. Messrs. Wright and Peden were opposed to the resolution, because it proposes to dictate as to the arrarsemcnt of the standing committees of tbe Seriate. Mr. Tbompiou was glad to see Gov. Dunning disposed to decline the labor imposed upon him by the resolution of yesterday evening. Mr. McCIurg could pee no objection to the resolution, and urged its iratneJiaf? passage. Mr. Bennett was willing to see Gov. Dunning chairman of the committee on elections, but would oppose the passage of the resolution. Mr. Gullen could see no necessity for the adoption of the resolution, and looked upon it as casting a reflection on the lieutenant governor, who is expected to preside over this body during the remainder of the sc-sion. Mr. McCIurg withdrew the resolution. a GOVF.ENO&'d MkSiAUK. - Mr. Thompson offered tfce followiug resolution which was adopted:. . Resolved that ten thousand copies of tbe message of.

So the republican candidate was elected the vote of Mr. Moore, senator from Ureene and Owen counties, wio, had heretofore voted with the democratic members. - Iu explanation of his vote, Mr. Moore aid: I have been oting all the time with mv demo cratic friends, but 1 see it ia no use to vote with them miv longer; I want this thing to clo-e up, I have tome here to serve my county in the best possible manner I know how to do. It seems to me this ought to be closed to-day, so we can go to work .Monday for that leuson, seeing there is no possible chance for us to elect a Jem ocrat for 1 am u democrat, and expect to die one but under these circumstances I shall vote for Mr. Johnson. (Faint applause ) The doorkeeper ws sworn in and entered on the duties of his otL'ce. aSSISTAM DOOEKIKtER. The Senate iroceeded to ballot for assistant doorkeeper: Mr. James S.

There beiug no choice. Mr Morgan's name was withdrawn, and Mr. John D Moore proposed as the dcmociatic candidate, Whereupon, Mr. Moore spoke as follows: If we all vote upon a political 6iJe, we c.innot eon?e to any con elusion at all. I call upon the friends on the other e;de is I voted with them. and put the principal doorkeeper in and I ask tbem to go with us now. 1 his is a son of mine, and I woulJ like very much if the Senate would allow him to stay with me this esion. I think he will make a faithful officer, and I appeal to their magnan imity, and more particulaily to mv friend here, Mr rhnmpso'ij and from Monroe Mr. Dunning I think the getitlem in trora Monroe said to me that the time might come when he would support my son lor some othce here. I hope he will think the time has come now. (Loud lauch'.cr.) The second bvllot for asistar.t Joorkcrper. re suited: For Mr. 1 homps-tu, 24 votes; for Mr. Moore, 22 votes; for Mr. Morgan. 2 votes.

The third ballot resulted: For Mr. Thompson, 24 vote; for Mr. Cunningham, 24 votes. Mr. Wright said the way we got along with these elections rut him in mind cf the story ortn old man wb i ha l lor year been summ ntd to sit on the jury, until he snid to the Sheriff one day, " I don't wart to be called on the jury any more llUalftay ihe thick headed whelps that have thepav."

Mr. Buikirk presented the credentials of Elih M.

Mr. Brown made an ineffectual motion to table the resolution. Mr. Dunham proposed to amend by reading "outside of the bir of the House." Which was agreed to, and the question occurred on the resolution as amended. Mr. Buskirk suggested that the rules which would doubtless be adopted, would give the presiding ofli'er of the House the right to extend this privilege indefinitely. S far as he was concerned he was perfectly willing to commit this question to the presiding officer; and no doubt if any gentleman should be preent in the course of tbe esaion wbo has distinguished him self in any depirtrnent of the government, the courtesv due him will be extcndel by the spcuk er. But to ntss a resolution of this kind ti tender this privilege to too many persons, who may not have distinguished themselves in fiont. would be an invitation to abuse the privilege Any person his the privilege of the lobby, with such accomoditions a we hive there; but as to the privilege of coming within the bar. he preferred to leive that to ihe discretion of tho pre aiding officer. The resolution a.i amended was rejected. THE XttI ARTICLE.

We shall jirobiblv bo ready to make a report ou Monday morninj: Mr. Buskirk. 1 now move to take from the table the report of t!ia committe on rule. 1 think it will be better to dispose of this matter at once. ' There arc quite a number of members here for the first time, and it is particularly due to them that onr rulei should be printed a as early time as possible. The motion was agreed ts, and the report taken up. The report recommends the adoption of the rules of la?t pe?ion, with one amendment pre scribed in theso reports jrs!crday, and the print ing of three bundled copies thereof, including the State constitution. Tbc report w.-is concurred in and the printing ordered accordingly. governor's salart. Mr. Gregory, of Warren, asked and obuined leave to introduce a bill (No. 1) to increase the salary of the governor of the state, and to repeal the first section of an act relative to the sal aries of public officers, and providing for the manner of paying tho same and the manner of reimbursing the state for the increase of saltries. Approved March 5. 159, chapter 146, R. S. Which was re id the first time and paed to the second reading. M. Bu-kirk presented the credentials of Edward T. Sullivan, representative from Posey and Vanderbarg. and be, comiug forward, received the oath and took Lis. seat. Mr. Gregory moved tj suspend tho constitutional provision requiring the reading of a bill on three several days Delorc its pissige, to enable him to more the consideration of his bill on its passage to ihe third reading; and the ayes and nays thereon, (being also a constitutional requirement) were ordered aud taken, resultiug: ayes 5, nays 39; as follows: Yeas Messrs.

Mr. Buskirk voted in the affirmative, explaining that it should cot be regarded as any indication as to how he cbouid vote on tbe bill. So, two-thirds not voting in the affirmativo the motion to euspend the constitutional provision was rejected. Mr. Newcomb (having voted with tbe majority for that purpore) moved to reconsider the vote first taken, lie was not aware that the proposition would be offered to-day, but it being here, he thought we ought to came to a square vote upon it. The constitution prohibited an iucrease ot tbe salary of the governor during the term of his office; and bis next term would commence next Monday. Three thousand dollars a year was entirely inadrquite. It ha1 teen found necessary, heretofore, to help the Governor with perquisites' H "ited a case in 135, when he was a member o. ;hc House, which insertel a provision in the gcr.tal appropriation bill, giving perquisites) to GoTcrnor Wright, in connection with swamp lands, arsouutitig to about $3.000. It was not a-ked uf the gentlemen now to vote in favor of the bill. Ho hopcJ. '.herefore. opposi tion would Dot be offered at the very threshold. This vote would simply open the bill f r consideration on its merits, wr.cn it might Le tooJiSel or amended. If it were m ids a p irty question, it was ra tili fest the bill could not piss before the time when it would be useless for the purpoe for which it was introduced. Mr. Brown I may as well state now as at any other time thit I am opposed to increasing J the governor's salary, aud shall use ail legitimate j means within my power to prevent the passage j of a bill increasing it And to be certain thit I ; have not wated away any of the legitimate i means I possess to prevent its pisgc, I shall i vote against the reconsideration of the vote ju-t j takn which prevents the supension of the con ,; stitutional rule permitting the bill to be read the ; second time to-diy. The constitutional provi-' sion declaring that all bills and joint resolutions ' shall be read on three several d ivs iu each Houe before their pissage in my judgment is aAri?e enactment. It was enaciej tor tne purpose ot j securing that mature deliberation and proper ex- j amination they shall have before becoming j the laws of the land. The provision permit-! ted that constitutional rule to be dispensed with, j nd allowing the bill to be finally disposed of on j the same day of its introduction, is to be onlv exercised uudcr the constitution when the Houic deem k expedient to do to in case of emereencf. This House is scarcely organized. The d.fferent j committees have cot been announced; members have scarcely become acquainted with each oth er, and yet we are cal'.od upoa to Harry this bill.

one of tbe utmost Importanre, to Its final pissage without having given it that deliberation

and consideration tbe conti:ution contemplates it abou'. 1 have before becoming a law. I do Dot see In this case a case of emergency for dispensing with the usual cu-tom of pasaitg bills. But it is said the bill can be no beneStto the present exccut:ve ua'.e the rule is dispensed with and the bill parses tbe House to-day. I do uot desire or intend to benefit the present executive by increasing bis aIary. I do not know that bis excellency desires Lis salary increased. Ia bis meisage which he delivered to us on yesterday, he said notning about it. And some weeks ago bis party friends drew strongly apon him for an extra session of the General Assembly in order that bis own salary and that of other officers mighl be increased, and be declined to call It together. In doing so. in my judgment, he did right. This is no time to increase the pay of public oEcerg. Tho country is proceeding to bankruptcy fast enough, and io tbe meantime I for one am not in favor of cottoning the different public efficers with all the luxuries of life, while the people are being ro loudly ealled cpon to give up their blood 'end toil. I know it is said that there never were such prosperous times before, lhat produce is commanding prices, and the people were never sj abundantly blessed with money. While I admit that the coun'ry is filled to overSowing with that which is said to be money, I cannot forget or lose sight of our real condition. The land is filled with a horde of tax-gatherers, ! snipping the widow of her mite and tbe orphan vi us pittance, i ne peopie are now enauring a system of taxation which sooner or later must be the ruin of any country. Public debts have been, and are being created, which sooner or later must be paid, and when that day comes, there will come with it untold misery and oppression for the people. So far as I can I shall use the utmost of my humble ability to make the burdens of the government fall on all citizens j aiiiic. Knowing as i ao that mere are many very many human "beings in our once happy state of Iudiana, driven almost to the brink of destitution, compelled I might siy, to look to the charity of the public lor the sustenance of life. i win r.r vote to aaa runner misery to tnetrsurfenugby increasing thesalaries of public efficers. when I know to da that taxation must also be iuI will t ot voto to add further misery to their suf creased. Let us all ber the misfortune of our own follies alike, and labor to dispel rather thin increase the calamities which are upon us Mr. Dunham now moved to lay the motion to reconsider ou tbe table, but withdrew for Mr. GrilStb. He thought it necessary that the covernor of the state should be ra-seil,and also the per diem of ; senator and representatives, as well as the salaries of state and local officers. Gen i .I i , ,7 1 : , Jemen had spoken of hardships. He submitted that the agricultural and mercantile portions ot the country were faring better and prospering more than ever before. But the people'a reprerentatives, the governor and public officers, real ly felt tho-e hardships but uot yet, perhaps, to tbe extent of those who stand in front and face the enemies of our country. He hid already, by aiiitake, sent up a propo-iitiou raising the per diem of members, aud hoped to get it in to-day. He had hop?d also that it might be seen by the action on these bills that there was a disposition here not to be governed by parti questions and considerations. Thia idea ot low salaries was not always the most w'ue aud economical. He would have salaries such as would not merely in v:to the rich man to official positions, but such as wcuiu pUDi aiso as a premium to the poor man to enter the public service. Mr. Dunham now insisted on his motion to lay on the table. The yeas aud uava being ordered, demanded and taken thereon, resulted, yeas 37, cays GO, as j loiiowj: Yeas Messrn. Abbett, Beckel, Bird.

So the moiion was reject rd, und the question recurring on the motion to reconsider. Mr. Coffroth suggested an adjournment till 2 o'clock, to remove difficulties in the minds of gentlernea now seemingly opposed to the bill. Mr. Dunham 1 do not intend to make a pceoii, Mr Spoaker, but I desire that those opposed to the bill may understand the effect of the parliamentary management of the gentleman from Marion. If he can succeed now in bus pcudir.g the rules, on Monday gentlemen on the other side will have the bill completely in therr power. Mr. Newcomb I disclaim entirely the impa-; tation of a legislative trick. ! Mr. Dauham I beg the gentlemm not to say "trick, it is merely "legislative strategy." Laughter J Mr Newcomb If we can't pass thia bill on Monday we might as well not pass it till next year. And it is certain we can't pass it on Monday unless it is permitted to go to a third reading to-day, and thatctnnot bedone without suspending the rules, and it is manifest that the rules cannot be suspended without tbe consent of dem ocratic members I will siy again, sir, that I do hope that gentlemeu will not let their prejudices govern tbjm so far as to exclude the bill from a recond reading to day. Mr. Newcomb'ß motion was then agreed to without a division, and the question recurred on the motion to suspend the constitutional provision. Mr. Butkirk in iicited that as his republican friends would not alio us time to consult, be should vote against suspending the constitutional provision Mr. Newcomb acquiesced, anJ ou his motiou 1 tho House adjourned till p m. AFTLBNOO.V 8I.S-ION. The House met at two o'clock. Mr. Buskirk stated to tbs Home that he was advised thit Mr. Speaker hid poDe home. He moved therefore that the gentlemm from Marion (Mr Newcomb) take the chair. The motion was apreed to. Thespeiker, pro tern, before proceeding to business, said the chair would give notice of a muter vrnich would be ol some importance next Monday. The clerk desires to intimite to member the duty ot thoc having returns of the elec tion of governor and lieutenant governor, to hao i them in.

Mr Gregory, of Warren Mr. Speaker, ince the propo-iiion ha perhaps already been defeated, (I learn tint gentlemen ou the other eide hive determined against suspending the rule.) I will ask leave to withdraw it from the House. Tbe Speaker pro tern: That can be done only by un.ttiimous consent Sever il vo:ces "No consent ' Mr. Dunkirk It h competent for the motion to suspend to be withdrawn. Mr. Müler, of Tippecanoe Mr. Speaker, there has been t-omethirg said about the govern or refuing to call an extra se?ion. The Speaker pro tern The gentlemm wiii recollect that the question ia cot debataWe. Mr. Dunham stated the order. The motion to reconsider was withJrawn. Mr. Mil'er, of Tippecanoe Mr Speaker, I attended on the call here to aiv!sc about an extra session of the legislature acme time ago. Mr Brown (interpv'.ng) There i nothing boJore the nou-e.
