■intesnsan.
The all absorbing subject of discussion among the loyal yesterday afternoon and last night, was the correspondence said to have occurred between the two distinguished gentlemen named above, comprising two letters, one very patronicing from Colonel Ccmback to Governor Bakbr, and the Governor’s answer, very •harp and incisive,. concluding with the plain statement that all future communications between them must be ot a strictly official character. Such is the story of Dame Rumor. Is it true, or is it a malignant scheme of the immoral Radical leaders to iqjure the purest Christian statesman the country ever produced? Who will answer? Owing to (he peculiar relations of the Journal at present we offer our columns to the authorised champion of either party.
The “National Bleaalna " Here is an item for the tax payers to consider. The national debt increased last ysar thirty millions of dollars. This is all right according to the Radical, theory. The party in power regard “a national debt as a national blessing,” and if it is a blessing of course its increase is justifiable. This is the reason, we suppose, that the debt Is increasing. How do the people like this condition of financial affairs when business Is dull, money scarce and future prospeots not encouraging? A common sense policy would dictate a diminution of the debt by the retrenchment of expenses and geusral economy, but the Radical leaders net upon the Idea that the people will bear any burden Imposed upon them. Ilow long will a patient and suffering people submit to the rule of the faction that think it their right to plunder the Treasury for their own aggrandisement? Anethfr Plundering Scheme. Indian ngents, Indian traders and officers connected with the management of Indian affairs generally, have long made the poor Indian the scapegoat for plundering the publ|c treasury. It appears that the Commissioner of Indian affairs, In his late report, estimates that there are three hundred thousand red skins to be clothed, fed and provided for generally. Now the fact Is there are not over 60,000 or 70,000 Indians all e nted. No money should be appropriated until It is definitely ascertained what the facts are, and this appears to be the opinion of several of the Senators and Representatives. These big leaks In the Treasury must be stopped or else the public debt will never cease Increasing. “Let as have Pence.** Reliable information oomes from Arkansas that the negro State militia are plundering from Inoffensive citizens, opening Jails, removing prisoners and shooting them. Such is Radical peace.
■TATE ITEMS. —Eight head of sheep were killed by dogs one night last week, on a farm near Connereville, —The sales of Karl A, Hatcher, wholeSfcle grocery dealers In Lafayette, were 1726,003 last year. —A forge company has been organized in New Albany, and work commenced upon the necessary buildings. —S. A. Hall, Esq., the founder and for a quarter of a century the publisher of the Loganspoct Pharos, announces In his last issue that he bos disposed of the establishment to Rufus Magee, Esq. During the long period that Mr. Hall has been connected with the Pharos, he has been unswerving In his devotion to the Democratic party, Its principles and its policy. Referring to his political views, in his editorial adieu, he says; “The principles of the Democratic party grow dearer As age and experience test their value in administering, the Government." Mr. Hall retires from purely personal reasons, and we regret that any inducement should sever his connection with a profession which he has honored not only by a steady devotion to principle, but by freedom from personalities and a dignified conduct of bis paper. The new editor and proprietor of the Pharos is well known to many of our cltlaens. Twice he was connected with this paper under different administrations and discharged the duties conflded to him with an ability, seal and —srgy that gave promise of his occupylag a prominent position in Journalism. He left the editorial for the legate profesatoa and settled in Logansport, where he was rapidly acquiring reputation and a profitable practice, but, as we told him he weald, he has returned to his first love aad devoted himself anew to an occupottos that salts his tastes, and for which he is peculiarly adapted. Welcoming him again into the fraternity and wishing him every snccess professionally and pecuniarily, we most cordially indorse all that Mr. Hall says of his Successor: "The position of editor of the Democratic organ of I'asS county is left in the gratifying assurance that it is entrusted to an experienced printer, vigorous writer, and unswerving Democrat, who has the health, enthusiasm and energy which the duties of the position demand: and I ask for' Mr. Magee the confidence and generous support which the interests of the office and of the party demand.” A KKM!ru8c*j»e*i-THn Two First CfliLDgitM Bonn or EiroLisn Parkrts is iRbrARA—A Booomtior.—The first two children born of English parents in Indians were John Withers, sad a girl named Cleveland, both of whom were born in old Fort Clark, (he present sits of. the town of Clarksville, Clark county, between this city and Jeffersonville, Of the history of Mr. Withers we are informed, but learn that Miss Cleveland married a man named Itowen, who -a- few years afterward died, and his widow uiarrled a gentleman by the name of OSorge Morrison, who was for many years employed in the shipyards of this city. There had been a number of birthaof white children in other pftrts of the State prior to these two, hut they were among the French settlers at Vinoennes and other points. At the time of the birth of Miss Cleveland the neighbors gathered upon the hanks of the river in ftoqt ot the fert, near the big eddy, and discharged their firearms iu regular volleys for several hours, and had a real Jolly time over the hapny event. The citizens of the iown of Louisville turned out en masss, on hearing the rapid firing of thair Uoosler friends oh the opposite side of the river, supposing they hod been attacked by the Iiidhins that occasionally visited the felle.

Mr. Cravens, on taking tho chair, said that ho fully appreciated the Imnoi- bestowed upon him, and fully appreciated the labor and responsibilities Insuperably connected with the honor. He thought It hardly proper to indulge in any extended remarks, but ventured the assertion that much, very much is expected of this General Assembly by tho people. The danger* of war have passed away, but they have precipitated upon the country the perils of peace tbpt are as oftentimes as difficult of adjustment If not aa dangerous as war itself. The people demand practical legislation; they will not now loierate legislation of an equivocal or douhtful character. And there is an additional demand made try tho people of their public servants, and that is that in the selection ol men for public agents we owe It to the general welfare, the honor and dignity of the State that none but persons ofknoun Integrity, of undouhtetl capacity, and of spotless honor should be clioscn. This Is no time for the more political adventurer, for the charlatan, or for tho trickster. Nominations being In order for Principal Secretary, Mr. Stein nominated O. M. Wilson, of Marion.

APTKBROOR SKStlOR, The Senate reassembled at two o'clock. Mr. Case obtained leave of absence. Mr. Johnson, of Montgomery, presented a petition covering the credentials and other papers referlng to the election of Mr. Montgomery, as Senator from the counties of Pike, Gibson and Martin, which was referred to the Committee on
the Judiciary.
Mr Jacques, from the Committee on Rules, reported In favor of the adoption of the rules of the last session, with a few
alterations.
The anieudments were agreed to, and the ruleq as amended were adopted. On motion of Mr Stein, five hundred
conies were ordered printed.
Mr Jnoqnea offered a resolution authorising the doorkeeper to place on the desk of Senators and officers of the Senate, three copies of each of the city dally p tpera and the weekly VotssbtaU, provided they publish correct reporta of the pro-
ceedings of the Legislature.
On motion of Mr. Church, but two copies of tho German papers were in-
clnded in the reehlutlon.
Mr. Rice moved ineffectually to amend by striking nut all but the JWrnmt uud MKRTlRKf. and the two German papers. Mr. Fisher moved to amend ao os to let the Doorkeeper contract for such papers ss each Senateor may select, limiting the Bit to a certain number of papere—aix.

The presumption is that the presiding officer, being- elected by the senate, hoe its confidence, arid until be could be Informed of some special reason why this matter should be postponed, he desired to see the resolution passed.

candidate for the United States Senate end consequently desired the votes of the
members of this body.
Mr. Church though this would be rather offering the Lieutenant Governor a left-banded insult. He knew not the motive fer thla motion. The business of this session does not require unusual haste, and it is not probable that the presont presiding officer could perform the duty so well, yet he might do it better. He hoped the friends oiMr. Cumbaok could see something rash in the rtsolu-
tion and refuse to let it prevail.
Mr. Fisher understood this to be a matter entirely in the control of the Senate. Mr. Klee did not regard this question so much in tho light of what is right aa a matter of prudence. If Major Cumback were a Democrat he should favor tho resolution, because the majority here should run tho business es they saw fit; but as the contrary is the oaae, there waa no necessity for the resolution. If any Senator would say the Lieutenant Governor desired the passage of this resolution he would not object; but he would vote against the resolution on principles
of expediency and courtesy.
Mr. Hughes did not attach a great deal of importance to this question. It makes but little difference, in a parliamentary point of view, what are the motlvee of the mover of a resolution. Because, aa is well known, the presiding officer entertains the view that the Lieutenant Governor, aa well as the mover of the resolution, arc ineligible to the United States Senate: he Is a happy Illustration of the impartiality of the motives of the mover. The presiding officer has no right, under the rules of The Senate, to appoint oommlttees. He must receive this authority
from the Senate itself.
Mr. Church was satisfied Senators were not prepared to act on this question to-
day. He moved to poi ' consideration till two o
Air. Stein moved to lay tl)ta motion on
the table.
This motion waa rejected by yeas 16,
nuvs 29.
The motion to postpone waa then agreed to. Mr. Fisher ofierod a resolution, which was adopted, directing the Librarian to furnish each Senator with |3 worth of pottage stamps. Mr. Stein, feom the joint committee to wait on the Governor, reported that His Exrellency had designated to-morrow afternoon at two o'clock as the time to deliver his message to the General Assembly. , Tito Senate then adjourned till to-mor-row at two o’clock p. M. Air. Jacques offered a resolution, which was adopted, Informing the House ol the organization of the Senate. Mr. Morgan offered a resolution, anthorlzlug the appointment of a committee of three on rules, which waa adopted. Messrs. Junquess, Hteln, end Johnson of Montgomery, were subsequently appointed said committee. Mr. Johnson, of Montgomery, offered a resolution directing the Doorkeeper to place on the desk Wt each Senator a copy of the rule* of the lost session, which woe
adopted.
Air. Kinley offered a resolution requesting the Suprintendent of the Soldiers’ Homo to send three i.itelligent, sprightly boys from that Institution to act aa pages of tho Senate, who shall receive throe
dollars a day.
Mr. Johnson, of Montgomery, moved to strike out three dollars, and tnsort two
dollar* per day.
Mr. Kinley accepted the amendment. Mr. Bice was unwilling to send to that Institution and take from their studies, the lK>ys now so well provided for, and bring them to meet the Immoral tendencies they would have to face In this city. Mr. (mtirch 'hold to the same views, and hoped the resolution would fail.
Tho resolution was rejected.
Mr. Jacqiieaa offered* resolution which was adopted, authorizing the appointment of a committee to act with a similar committee of the House, to procure the services of a minister of the gospel, to open the joint convention with prayer before tho delivery of the Governor's

Mr. Hooper moved to amend so that members *balt retqrn the same to the Librarian, at the close of the sesaion. On motion by Mr. Church the amendment was laid on the table.

Qi^the motion of Mr. Hamilton, it was ordered that the House proceed at once to the election of Speaker, and that the elec-
tion be tfiken by a viva voce vote.
Mr. Buaklrk nominated the Hon. A. P.
Stanton, of Aiarion county.
Air. Cory nominated the Hon. John R.
Coffroth, of Huntington county.
The vote having been taken was an-
nounced by Mr. Nnon:
Mr. Stanton received 64 votes. Mr. Coffroth received 44 votes.
Whereupon the election of Mr. Stanton was formally announced, and Messrs. Buskirk and Coffroth, being requested to do ho, conducted the S{>oaker to the Chair. The Speaker then, addressing the
House, said;
Gkktlkmkr: In entering upon the discharge of my important and arduous duties this morning, I desire first to return to yen my heartfelt and sincere thanks for the high and distinguished honor which you, In your kindness, have conferred upon me; 1 wish also to assure you In advance of the fact, and I regret that such is the cane, that I hove neither the legislative experience nor the familiar acquaintance with parliamentary ways and customs, which will enable me to preside over your deliberations with the eaae, promptness, and freedom from error, whicb I so much desire. But, relying upon your generosity, and Baking your cordial aid and co-operation, I promise you a faithful and earnest endeavor, upon my part, to Impartially and satisfactorily discharge the dudes of my
position.
Assembling aa wo de under the most fevorable auspices, let us In all our acta as the Representatives of the noble people of our great State, continually bear in mind that in ever doing right wo will ever do well, Aa wo well know tb« great and mighty struggle through which our true and patriotic people have recently passed in disarming treason and enforcing law has entailed upon the Nation a large and oppressive financial burthen, ana after generously providing for the
views against the previoos question
* *' ' * ' — and the House returned to the conaiderationof Mr. Coffroth’# resolution to distribute the seats by lot, prescribe the manner of dietribatlon. etc. Mr. Hamilton moved that the resolution be indefinitely postponed. Mr. MoFaddln opposed the motion, and supported the resolution by various considerations. Mr. Obermeyer moved to amend the resolution by striking out all after the word “lot.” Mr. Hamilton made the point that a motion to amend oould not be made pending a motion to Indefinitely postpone. Mr. Coffroth stated the order—the motion to amend was in order. Mr. Overmeyer explained that the effect of his amendment would be, simply to strike out the manner of seating mem-
bers.
Mr.JBobo supported the original reso-
lution;
Mr. Dittemore moved to lay the amend-
ment on the table.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. Sabin moved to reier the resolution to the Committee on Stationery. Mr. Bobo supported the resolution. Mr. Ratliff submitted objections. Mr. Coffroth answered them, and gave considerations in favor of his resolution. He concluded by demanding the previous question. But he withdrew the de-
mand, for—
Mr. Gordon, who agreed to renew it
when he had submitted*
propos!
The demand for the prev was further withheld, for—
Mr.Johnston,ofParke, who raised other objections to tho resolution, especially because it proposes to distribute the seats with respect to parties—Republicans on the right and Democrats on the left. The demand waa farther withheld
for—
Mr. Pierce, of Porter, who was well enough satisfied with the resolution. Air. Coffroth was proceeding to answer objections, until a point of order against his right to speak the third time on the same question was made by Mr. Osborn, and sustained by the Chair. He then demanded tho previous question, bat tho Honse refused to sustain the demand. The question then reenrred on the motion to refer the resolution to the Comiffittee of Seven on Stationery. Mr. AlcFaddin opposed the motion to refer. The questioa was well understood here now. He desired to take away the advantage of members living near the capital for obtaining eligible seats. Air. Hamilton also preferred to settle this qnestion now. He was distinctly opposed to the resolution. It was not worth the time of the House. He moved to lay the motion to refer on the table, but there being no second to the motion— Mr. Osborn took the floor in opposition to the resolution, because it would work hardship to ten republican membors. He was in iavor of reference. Ths motion to refer was rejected, and the question reenrred upon Air. Hamilton's motion to postpone indefinitely. It waa agreed to; ao tho resolution was
lost.
The Speaker announced the following committees to act under resolutions adopted this day: Special Committee on Employes— Messrs. Ski Inure, McFaddin, Dunn, Nett', and Stewart, of Rush. • Special Cotnmiitee on Rules—Messrs. Wlldman, Busklrk, Coffroth, Carnahan,

True, in writing of the past, I may not seem to be so fresh ss if I was writing down the living Incidents and personalities of the present hour. But still I will endeavor to so write as to be read, for that, after all, is the main point. Newspaper scribblers are numerous, but newspaper authors are not ao plenty. There are many splendid subjects all abonthere of interest to the people, to be foundamong the archives of the olden times, which, if gathered np with the flngera of carefulneas, will not, can not fail to give entertainment to the’people. True, there is something in the power and history of a family name which, if given to the world, would oftentimes deeply interest even, the commonest reader. In all these sort of interests, this part of the State is rich and interesting, ank the greatest difficulty is, and must be, to make tire best, proper selection. THE NOBLE FAMILY. One member of a household often gives to a family the repntation of distinction which runs into history, and along down the line of several generations. When Brookville was but a small vil-

even then excelled.
Noah Noble is well known in the State as "Governor,” but what he was, and whst de did while a denizen of Brookvillo* is not so well understood. If I was writing his history, I might go back and undertake to tell the whole story. But I am not. I only wish to call up the families which made their marks upon the pages of our town history—to specially name a few who have given prominence to family names. The Nobles had talent as well as ambition. James became United States Senator, and Noah, Governor of the State. Others of the family occupied respectable positions in life, but i these two gave prominent distinction to

Mr. Hamilton proposed to amend by striking out so much as refer* to the use
of tobaeco.
Mr. Vater—He had offered tho roaolution in good faith. A boy that uses tobacco wo* not fit to be a page of this
House.
Mr. Hamilton—U was an unsettled question whether it is right or wrong to use tobacco, it was a quo-lion that could hardly be settled even by the ecclesiastical courts, and it was w'bolly out of place here. But, considering, that the tobacco clause refers only to the pages, and that the pages have not yet been appointed. '— — *-*-

Of these men and their families, Judge
Test, of Lafayette, might write many thing* if he would, and he certainly

On motion of Mr. Ratliff, It waa ordered that the t'lork inform the .Senate of tho

to the resolu-
tion, because, under Its operation, it might bo difficult to get officer*. Beside* the resolution was iu the line of special legislation. It was to apply to a particular set of men. R waa also a reflection upon the oifieers of tho House whom we have elected to-day, that we should propose to plaoe a bridle upon them, or control their appetites. He was opposed to all evasive motions—preferred a direct vote—to vote the resciiutl .i down. The resolution was adopted upon a di-
vision.
Air. Fierce, of Porter, submitted a resolution, which was adapted, instructing the Joint oommittae appointed to wait on the Governor to procure the services of seine clergyman to open tbe regular session of this legislature with prayer immediately preceding tbe delivery of tbe Governor’s message. Mr. Dittemore submitted an order, which was adopted, fixing the daily meeting of the House at nine o’clock a. m. until otherwise ordered, I Mr. Aft*Donald submitted an order which was adopted by consent, that newspaper reporter* be allowed seats inside tho bar of the House for the purpose of reporting tho proceedings of this House. Mr. Htcwart, of Rush, submitted an order that the Librarian be directed to procure a copy of Gavin A Hord's Revised Statutes tor the use of each inembor of this House. These Btatutea were necessary in our business here. The Senate had Just ordered copies for the u*e of Senators; and tho Senate was a more permanent body than this, and if they were necesaary in that body they wore certainly necessary here. Ho accepted an amendment to Include the acts of 1867. Air. Greene proposed to amend so as to require members to deposit the Statutes in tiie Library at the close of the session. But there was no second to the motion. Mr. Mason moved, ineffectually, to lay the subject on the table. The resolution was then adopted. AI r. Pierce, of Porter, moved to reconsider tho vote by which the resolution was adopted, and then moved to lay that motion on the table. The latter motion was agreed to. AJr, Shosff moved to reconsider the order for the statutes. Un inquiry he found that they ost about twelve dollars
n sett.
Air. Osborn made tho point of order, that, by the adoption of tho latter motion just made by the gentleman from Porter, this question of procuring the statutes was carried beyond tbe power of the House to reconsider. Tho Speaker sustained the point of order; so Air. ShontFs motion to reonosider was not entertained. The Speaker announced the following special committee under a resolution adopted this day: Special Committee on Stationery and Newspapers—Messrs. Crittenden, Pierce, of Porter, Randall, Neff, Dittemore,Vater and Tabor. On motion of Air. Sabin, the House adjourned till to-morrow morning at nine o’clock.

have come, ns Is never tho cast' with Radical office seeker, to sound my own ! praises and qualifications through the I
public press.
First—I am not a citizen of the State. | This, ns it in In direct conflict with, and In opposition to the ('uustiiution of the United States, I regard its my highest !
claim to office.
Second—1 am opposed politically to the ^
will and wishes of the people.
This I hope will be regarded as a good i
qualification.
Third—I have no experience in political affairs. Nor have I in any way raised my voice in tho councils of the nation, but can prepare an article on the “Jlesum/dion </ Specie Pai/ment,” which will advance the price of bonds nine per cent, in the European market. This is not so important aa the first two claims, yet I wish the Legislature to give it their attention.

No doubt many of tbe patrons of the Sentinel will be willing to read a letter from this grand old White Water dominion. where first Indiana geniaa waa born, and where even to the present day the light of her glory has not yet flickered or been extinguished. I am not joking when I thus talk, for those who are oonversant with tbe history of the State are well aware of the fact that among these bills and vales, which He along the meander! ngs of the White Water, there have grown up many of tbe intellectual giants, the corruscations of whose talents and genius have reflected honor upon the State which can never be
