OrcMiMtm «r «IM Irt«lalat«M. Tke forty-alzth mmIoo of tb« General Assembly of Indiana oonrened yesterday, and was duly organised according to tbe programme adopted by the canons held the evening previous. In the Senate, Hon. Joan II. Cravskb was elected President pro tern. Mr. Chavs ws has had considerable experience as n presiding officer, and Is admirably qualified for tbe position. In his address upon taking the chair, Mr. Cuavxss expressed some excellent sentiments. He said, as the dangers of war were over, tbe people would not be satisfied with any thing short of praetloal legislation, and the most rigid edonomy In public expenditures. And he suggested that In the election of officials within the gift of the General Assembly, only men of strict integrity and of a high sense of honor should be chosen, for, as he remarked, talent was abundant, but Integrity had become scarce. Only one movement was made in the Senate of any significance. Mr. Hoohxs offered a resolution that ths President be authorized to appoint tbs standing committees. This motion was opposed by Mr. Cuuhoh and others,as being discourteous to and manifesting a lack c;f confldenes In the Lieutenant Governor. It would naturally be supposed that Mr. CtfkBAOK would desire the passage of a resolution of this kind, as it would relieve him from embarrassment on account of his candidacy for the Senate, but It was soon developed that the kind intentions of Mr. Uuours were not appreciated by-the friends of the Lieutenant Governor elect. If the appointment of committees was intrusted to the President pro tern, possibly. If not probably, It might Interfere with the promises of candidate Ct’M back and disturb the harmony of his arrangements. We will not charge that Major CtiMnAOtt orjdbfoncf CumbacK, for we forget the eminence he reached In &ho paynr.ister* department, has been engaged in farming out what patronage or •favors there are connected with his position, bat it haa a look that way and the Impression will become Axed, if he does not purge himself of the soft Impeachment. 'P.he House was organized by the election of Mr. A. P. Stantow, of this city, Speaker, Mr. Stantox has had no experience in legislative bodies except a brief term in the City Council of Indianapolis, but he is represented as s man of energy and industry, and tbflae qualities may make him a success In his new sphere. Only tho ordinary routine of business connected witli the organization ©f the House was transacted yesterday. Both branrSes of the Legislature present a very fair appearance, and judging from first impressions, wo should say the members generally were men of more than ordinary ability. The House is mostly composed of now members. We believe that there are only seven old members, or members who have heretofore been in legislative bodies. In the Senate, however, there are many old stagers,who have had considerable legislative experience. The present legislature will have a good deal of business before it of importance in the promotion of the interests of the State, but It can not be matured Into beneficial legislation unless the members economically and industriously apply tho brief time that the ConeUtutlon limits the sessions of the Legislature. • «•— Itmln* Tell. # Tbe Radicals iu Southern Indiana have the sharp faculty of making tho Republicans of Northern Indiana do the work at tbe polls, and then to appropriate to themselves tho fruits of the victory. How do the accounts foot up at tho present time? It was the Republicans of Northern Indiana that schemed the late political triumph of that party in this State. Rut how stands the spoils—where have they boon distributed? Let us foot up the account. Southern Indiaua has one United States Senator, tho Governor and Lieutenant Governor, Auditor of State, Treasurer of State, Attorney General, Adjutant General, President j>ro term of the Senate, Speaker of the House, Agent of State, Superintendent of Public Instruction, etc., etc.'What boa the North got? A Secretary of State we believe, but ho has removed to Indianapolis so that ho may hereafter be located where brains talk. The Republicans of Northern Indiana have heretofore been bowers of wood and drawers of water for their favored Southern brethren, and now when there is an opportunity, a legitimate opportunity, to appropriate a share of the spoils there is every appearance that the brains of tho Radicals of 8011thern Indiana will again toll. Wo have no special Interest in the squabble going on lu the Republican camp over the distribution of the spoils, but when brains win we can'not fall to respect them, no matter from whence they may come. Wo must acknowledge that tha Radical politicians of Southern Indiana are rather too smart for their Northern brethern.
ysB-The New York Times says the “history of tho Frccdmen'a Bureau can now be written.'' And, if truly written, It will exhibit a record of extortion, wrong and crlmo, such as tho world has rarely witnessed, apd which is a disgrace to the civilisation of tho age.

The principal buslnesa of the caucus vaa to determine what measures should ba acted on during the present session. All other questions, however, were lost light of In tho discussion of financial topics, including Senator Morton's plan for the resumption of specie payment. Tho caucus developed the fact that Mortou's plan has large numbers of friend*, mafnly from the West and South, but thoro was bitter opposition on the part of the Eastern members. Senator Edmunds’ bill for the payment of Government bonds In gold was also a bone ot contention, and there was a plentiful lack of harmony over both propositions. The repeal of the civil lenure-of-oltlce hill was tallied, and there were strong indications t|)at the Senate will not agree to Its repeal. Her# Is the entering wedgo between Grant and Congress.

tention to it,

The State is also paying six per cent* interest to the Common Mchool Fund on $3,591,316 15. The interest is distributed to the several counties semi-annually, through the settlements with County Treasurers, for the support of free schools. The increase of School Bonds during the year has been $224,234, occasioned by the carrying out of the provisions of the several acts passed to consolidate all the various bonds, stocks and accounts of the School Fund into nun-negotiable bonds of
one description.
In July, 1867, os stated in my last re-
port, tho State ■;
>rt, tl’,o State Treasurer placed uidsofthe Agent at New York $1,184,-
in the
000 for tho redemption of all outstanding two and one-haif per cent, stocks. In April, 186 $200,000 was transmitted to New York on the requisition of the Agent of Mtate, for the redemption of war loan bonds. Notice was given to the holders, through advertisement, that the State was ready to redeem if presented within thirty days, otherwise the money would be applied to other purposes, and aa but a annul proportion of them were so presented, the State Debt Board thereupon determined to devote that money, nearly $200,000, to tho redemption of five per cent, bonds, and instructed tbe State Agent to so apply the funds. In addition to nearly $200,000, as above shown, over $700,000 was sent in June on his requisition for thq same purpose. Ov£r $18,000 was sent to said Agent, for which his requisition was obtained in July, 1868, for the redemption of two and onehalf per cent, stocks, after the funds in his hands for that purpose had been applied to taking up that amount of war
bonds.
In J uly lost the State Debt Board directed the AgOfit of State to redeem twenty per cent, of all the outstanding 5 per cent, stocks, requiring an amount of money equal to the whole of the State Debt Sinking Fund then on hand, as estimated at a previous meeting of the Board, viz; about $900,000. By previous legislation the five per cent, bonds are the first of the State’s obligations to be taken up. In July laat the State Debt Board ordered the Agent pf State at New York to redeem twenty per cent, of those outstanding, requiring an amount of money equal to the whole of the State Debt Sinking Fund then on hand, as estimated at a previous meeting of the Board. The sum of upwards of
cent, bonds are taken np, and the whole of the School Debt Is extinguished, I would earnestly recommend that the present rate of State taxation for Sinking Fond purposes should be continued. We are rapidly reducing our interest-bearing obligations and saving largely from onr general expenditure# in reduction of interest alone. In a few years, wnen the State is entfrely free from debt, and haa no interest to absorb ita revenues, then it will be time enough to reduce tho rate of taxation. A reduction of the State
debt taxation now, which is
compared with coni ' long the time whe
taken np, and leave ns still paying oat
large stuns for annual interest.
