The PnMle Debt.

The Terre Haute JCxprese labors assiduously to orsate the itaprenion that "eur Ntats debt, praetieally, is only 93,000,000," and that some 95,000,000 have been liquidated under the Republican administration of Stats affairs. The feet fa, the liquidated debt of tbe State la, practically, over six and a quarts millions. The old Sinking Fund, amounting to ovar three millions, baa been Invested In tho bonds of the State, ao that, aa far as the State Is eonoernsd, that part of tha debt ie just aa valid and binding as tha bonds held by individuals. What authority then for the statement of the Expreee that "the Republicans took the State and In eight years the debt Is m?*e than half wiped outf" If the debt has bean more than half wiped out, the Indebtedness must havs footed up more thaa twelve and a half millions whan "tha Republicans took

the State," Thla ploua deception or

Mr. Chnruh thought there were sous* very hot oheataots somewhere In this thing, andi tha# tho Senator from Daviess [Mr, Turner] was employed to got them out of tha fire. He did not know who these Senators Ore, but presumed it to « party of Democrats, because be could not think there to any other claaa of persons who would make this sort of an at tack.

Mr. Rice—In anticipation of a resolution of this kind being Introduced In this body, and Judging H would come from persons tnimtoal to the Lteutenaut Governor eleot, I am anthorlxed to say, In behalf of him, that Governor Baker Is authorised to publish any and all tbe corraspondenae now In bis possession respecting any snob, propositions as are nsmod In the resolution. -1 do thla In Justice to blm, and at Ms request. At the same time I am dtotlnotly and decidedly opposed to the adoption of the resolution, because it drags before this Nenate and the people of this Htate the Governor and Lieutenant Governor, upon a aharge that finy man may make through the coin m ns of e newspaper. Mr. Turner—When I presented tids resolution,! distinctly stated that 1 knew nothing of the matters and things therein contained,- find that I presented It at the request of Other partlea. But I think It should pass,-and f think now more ao than before the gentleman made bie remarks. He has tornlehed me a reason why it should be adopted. If tbe Lieutenant Governor were willing snob correepondesee sbeuld be published, perhaps Governor Baker might have seme delicacy In doing ao without being oalled upon. If I stood In Governor Baker’s position 1 should have a .dertleaay In doing •• unless tbe proper authorities oalled np®n Ms lo so do. As fares I am concerned, 1 hove no personal feeling In regard to this qnestfton, but I think It due to the people of tbs' Btate that they should know whether or not such a oornepsndenoe hae Maeed., If Governor Baker says it hae not, we fill know that he wan hoaoriM* gentleman, ahd that no eneh thing baa happened: If be says it . - - -- - ao d Irt it bt

Mr. , from the Special ffommittee on Rules, reported « roeommendation to adopt the rules of the tost House of Representatives without altera tion, excepting aa to the—th rule, which tola propped to amend so as to aathbrlre the appointment, of three additional standing

committees, via: ,

A Committee on Issaranoe Companies. And tbe committee further recommend that 400 copies of the Revised' Rules of the House, together wtth the State Constitution, be printed for the use of members.

Tb* first message of Governor HorvXa# to tbo New York Legislature la highly 'commended by tbe praa* of that Stato, without distinction *f party, for th* ability It exhibits in the discussion of State affaire, and Ua Incidental allusions to subject* ot national interest, and likewise for its elegance of composition. We mak* a few extracts from the message npon topics which have a general Interest—that .will suit the meridian of Indiana aa well as that of New York. He

says:'

PURITY OP m.BfTIO.'fS.

Every means slraald be adopted by which tbe electors may bare secured to them freedom from intimidation or corrupt Influences la tbe exerehe of the elective franchise—tb* highest privilege of a eitisen. It can not be denied that wealth, by Us lavish expenditure to control ol ret ions, ia feat becoming more inliuenilai than shill ties and public service to obtain polttical power and offirtal station. It la not unnsusl to hear timclalms of public men asserted in proportion to the pecuniary contributions wnlcb they make to party fund* In amounts which obviously can not be required or used for the legitimate purpose* of an election. It la one of the startling evils of th* tim**, that nominations to Important ofilots are sought by and given to 1 men <>| vast wealth, not because of their capacity and qualifications, but In order their money may be used to accomplish I suocm*. The dangers arising and to be spore ban 1 from tbia condition of things are manifold.* Officials are tanght that money, however acquired, Is the passport to office and authority; electors are corrupted, and a power la built up founded ou the poasenston of tieties and their corrupt use,-tending to tbe subversion of their rights and liberties of the people and tbe destruction of tho principle* of our government. A* 000 raeult of (hie growing tendency of moneyed influences lo assert an exclusiveness of claaa, and a superior domination, sectional and olsas legislation haa boon adopted of late years to control In regard to suffrage, large communities, by sportal laws not applicable to other parts of the Htate. Before the law all men are equal, and never more so than when tn the performance of their right and doty of voting to auatain principles, and to alert their representatives. Laws to prawido regulations and restrictions in regard to elections should apply to ail ottiaens and Uf all secltona alike. Tb* laws to preserve the purity of th* ballot box ana to prevent tbe corrupt ua* of money in rteetlotisshould begen*rsl, stringent, and rigorously enforced. In my Judgment there should be one registry tow for the whole State. Imposing equal conditions aod restrictions everywhere, and it should be the aim thereof to secure to every citizen his right of suffrage, free from intimidation, corruption, or onerous exaction*; while the corrupt use of money In elections should bo foreroly punished, and •very guaranty established by whieh Illegal voting may be prevented.

r*DURAL ORirnULIfiATIOR.

In this connection It may not be improper to allnde to the feet that, there Is a manifest disposition in some quarters to encourage a movement to vast in Congress the control and regulation of suffrage In *11 th* States. This la another b op In the direction of neutralized power In the General Government—a power to eoatrol elections—which would enable dangerous and unscrupulous men, who might obtain powfeaslon of the national administration 1 to bold It Indefinitely, svso agatnat the real will of tbe people. It to very certain that purity of elections In Mtales can not be secured by transferring tbe direction or control of them to the authorities at Washington. There can he no purity in the General Government unless it exists first In the States and la tb* people. The founders of our Government never contemplated the Interference of Congress in this matter. They expressly guarded against It. By the Federal Constitution, "tbe times, plaee* and manner" of bolding eleotione for Senators and Representatives ar* required to be preset!bed in eaeh Mtate by the Legislature thereof; but It to provided that Congress may at any time make or alter such regulations except aa to tbe plaoea of choosing Senatore. Thla anthorlty to prescribe regulations #• to "tb* time, place and manner’’ of holding eleotione, was Contested at the adoption of tbe Constitution as vesting In Congress too great a power, which might be exeratoed eo as to defeat tbe J ust /lahta of the States to representation—:b«tt to was agreed that ft was a power which never was Intended to be, and probably never would b* employed, except when the Mtatee might attempt to break up tbe Government by not sending representatives, sad then only for national self-preservation. But the question of suffraxa waa wisely put beyond the control of Congress, and It waa provided (hot "the electors in each State shall hove the quatlllcatlon requisite for electorafif the most nnmeroqs nranch of the State Legtolatnve.” Thla settlement of the right of suffrage was regarded "as a fundamental article of Repablloan Government." Tbe question of suffrage is thus withdrawn from tbe capricious or more dangerous interference of Congress. It is hot left to legislative discretion In the States, but to fixed by tbe .State Con-
