tbongfit* 1 ' misrepresent* this condition of togtelaCWe affaire to «af«nM and justify the conns of the aHflorlty. The members of the Legislature who resigned to defeat the ratification of the proposed constitutional amendment and whose action was sustained by their constituent* ha their re-election, were In the city, la asepense to the proclamation of the Gorernor for a special session of the Legislature on the. 8th inst,, “to profUe for the pressing necessities of the StatO.” As the Journai remarks, the Legislature “did not meet,

nor organize.” And why?

The canse of the Democratic members resigning is known to every man, woman and child In the Btute. It was to defeat the consideration and ratlflcatipn of the proposed Fifteenth Amendment until it was first submitted to the people, and their will upon it made known through the agency of the ballot-box. They had the right to do this. In a free government the people are the source of power. A submission to the people ot so vital a question was Republican, was Democratic and was in strict harmony with the theory of our Government. This was, also a question far different from ordinary legislation. The vote upon it by the I^gislatqre, would, in all probability, be decisive as to its rstiflostion. If It wus r bill or enactment that could be modified amended or repealed by a subsequent Legislature, the question would have

presented s different aspect.

In addition to these considerations, all the members of the Legislature were elected upon the unequivocal declaration that the right of regulating suffrage belonged to the States, and on the pledge that this right should not be Interfered with or taken away. Was not tke minor Ity justified, under such circumstances in preventing the violation of a pledge given by both parties to the people? F.very honorable person must conwde that they were right in so doing. They did not ask the rejectien of the amendment, as might have been done with the utmost propriety, but only that the people should be* heard before the Legialature voted upon it. The Journal says: “It is by no means certain that anything will be done after all for the expense of a special election, and assembling tot an extra sessioq. The Repub-

licans are ready to complete all necessary legislation, and to keep the Constitu tional amendment out of Its wav en tirely till it is oompler-d; but the Democrats are Indisposed to permit even that. Why? They can give the Republicans a trial, and it they find the amendment obtruded upon more pressing business, they can resign, as they did before. They can carry their point at any period of the session just as easily as they did before. Why, then, refuse even to allow the legislature to lie organized? Tlioro is the place they stick. They will not come into the body, and allow it to be prepared for i>nsiness. They know as wo'1 as everybody «.i>w J loes that this caution is bdie, that it is impossible for the Republleans to pass the amendment over their heads when they can leave the house at any moment. But they stay out, and the extra session seems fated to be wasted in futile efforts to get them to take their seata and go to work.” This is the Radical statement of the case and we republish it from the Radical organ, that its party friends may have the full benefit of it. The representation is, however, untruthful. It is ?U»K?A’AflPan , s t afo no? “ready to complete all necessary legislation, and to keep the Constitutional Amendment out of its way entirely till it is completed.” If such was the fact, the legislature would have been promptly organized on Thursday afternoon, at the time it was convened by the (Joveruor. As is well known, and as the Journal itself published in its issue of Thursday morning, the Republican caucus held on Wednesdsy night, characterized the propositions of the Democratic members to secure the assurance of the Republican members, that the Constitutional amendment should be kept out of the way, so that neceasary legislation could be completed as “a cheeky demand,” and they were laid upon the table. In proof of this, and as s complete rotutation of the Journal’/) statement, we give the emphatic refusal of the Republican caucus to entertain any propoeition or give any authoritative assurance that the Conatitutional amendment would be kept out ot the way entirely until necessary legislation had been completed. Here it is in a resolution adopted by the Republican caucus: R'•*olvcd, That the Republican members are here to do their duty to the State in compliance with the provisions of the Constitution of the State, and they decline to make any pledgea as a condition precedent to meeting them, as members of the General Assembly in the special

session.

In order to do away with the objection raised in* the Republican canons that these propositions “doee not purport to be a communication participated in or ordered and authorized by the recently elected Democratic Senators and Representatives, but blmply a proposition coming from the few Democrats who did not resign at the late session,” the “recently elected Democratic Senators and Representatives,” with those who did not resign at the late setsion, mot in caucus on Thursday morning and renewed the three propositions, in addition to that, so that the entire responsibility of preventing the organization of the Legislature and the defeat of necessary legislation should rest with the Republican ineinbers, Uio following additional proposal or overtnre for arranging the “unpleasantness” was presented to the Republican caucus; and to which no response has yot been given as request-

ed :

“Therefore,to the end that the necessary legislation of the State may be enacted, the Democratic Senators and Representatives now assembled in caucus resoectfully submit to yon, thst the Senators and Representatives elect will qualify as such, if you will, by resolution of your caucus or by other authoritative means, assure us that yon will not ask for theconsideraiionof said proposed amendment until after at least two days previous notice shall have been publicly given, while in

actual session.”

This assurance that the proposed constitutional amendment should be kept out of the way until necessary legislation was completed, would have accomplished the organization ot the Legislature on Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock, the time that the proclamation of the Governor

fixed fi»r Hs assembling

The Journal says the Democratic inemliers “can give the Republicans a trial, and if they find tiie amendment obtruded upon more preening business, they can resign, as they did before.” This is some admission. There is then “morepressing

the Constitutional amendment should not be obtrodnd until neeeeeary legislation was passed, they should not and - would not hesitate to accede to the propoeition of the Democrats to eubmit tbs amendment to the people or give the assurance in as authoritative way that it should not be obtruded, until neemmry legislation waa out of the way. They are unwilling to firs that assurance because the failure to pass the appropriation bill* will be no em bairn same at to them. In a dispatch from this city to a Republican paper the following item appears, aucflt discloses the Republican programme: “General Kimball, Treasurer of State, bae offered to advance money enough to run the State instltutiona. If the appropriation Mils are not passed. It la not, then, to paas the appropriation bills that the Republicans are endeavoring to secure the organization of the Legislature. There la evidently another purpose in view. The Legislature once legally organized, the ratification of the amendment will be paaaed whether the Democratic members remain in their seata or resign. The certificate of ratification will be sent .to Washington and a Radical Congress will never Inquire whether it was passed by what the Constitution of Indiana defines to be a Leg-

islature or not.

The Journal says that the Democratic members refuse to qualify, not because they fear action upon the amendment, but to defeat the election bill. This is too weak an invention todeceiveany one. If the Republicans are honest in thia charge, the real object of the Democratic members in refusing to qualify can be very easily ascertained, by the acceptance of either of the propoaltiona they have made for an adjuatment of tbe difficulties. This they will not do. The Republican members will give no authoritative assurance that the amendment shall be submitted to tbe people, before it is acted upon by this Legislature. The Journal has something to say about the “expense of a special election and assembling for an extra session.” Why then does it ask the Democrats to place themselves In a position in which they will be honorably bound to resign and thus Involve tbe expense of another special election and extra session? The Republicans have it in their power to solve the dilficnlty. An authoritative assurance that the amendment will not be obtruded upon tbe Legislature until it is acted upon by the p^>ple will organize tbe Legislature and prevent the remedy of resignation to defeat a political measure which the Democratic members believe to be obnoxious to a large majority of the people of ladians. There can be no question as to tbe duty of the Democratic members. The people expect they will maintain the position they have taken, and they will be sustained In doing it by an overwhelming majority of the people. The present is a crisis that seldom occurs in the history of a party and a nation. Let the Democratic members be true to principle, true to the undoubted behests of the people, true to themselves, and they will receive not only from their own party but the great mass of the people what should be grateful to every Representative of the people, •‘Well done good and faithful public ser-

vant.”

By the acquiefcmce of the Convention the Tammany platform was “ignored,” surely enough, and the Connecticut Democracy were ahorn or their strength. The platform, with Mr. Waller’s coloring upon it, did not deserve to triumph, and we have no tears te aSsd over it* failure. The result is not owing to an increase of Republican strength, but to a refusal of Democrats to do oattle in the interest of tax-exempt bondholding aristocracy. The tables in the New York World of yesterday morning show a falling off in the Democratic vote, from the State election a year ago,

of 5,943. That telia the story.

“Ignoring tbe Tammany platform,” whether under the influence of the money power, or with a view to conciliate and derive advantages from it, is damaging business to Democracy. The Tammany Convention itself set the example by patting Frank Biair and his Broadbead letter upon it, thus enabling tbe Repnblicans to eover up the financial plank by a diversion of attention to the old and dead isanea of the war.

The trick is being practised in several parts of tbe State just now, and our exchanges are teeming with “surprising inscriptions,” “lunux naturae,” etc. A boy at Jeffersonville recently found an egg, warm in the nest, with the sentence: “Read St. John, first chapter,” on it, which he showed to the editor of the Democrat, who sagely remarks: “The egg doubtless contains a volume of theology, and would be of inestimable advantage to an aspiring divine." If the egg is worth so much, what can be the value of the hen?

INDIANA LEGISLATURE.

the Leglslauire-TIM Daly of the Dem

oerotle Member*.

The Indiana Democracy to-day occupies a proud position, and the nation is hopefully looking to our Democratic Senators and members elect to maintain the principle upon which they appealed to tbe people. The Fifteenth Amendment . ..••I'*...'’ — »***n the mere question of suffrage. It ia another ->- r *. —.« strengthening the centralized power of the general Government by detracting from the rights of tbe States. The Democratic members, believing that tbe people, the sovereigns of a free State, should have tbe opportunity of passing upon so vital a change in oar organic law, and, being in a hopeless minority, were forced to bolt or resign, to prevent an unscrupulous majority in the legislature from fastening irrevocably the odious Constitutional Amendment upon a very large

majority of the people.

They chose the manly and honorable part and resigned the power intrusted to them back into the bands of the people, and asked the direct question, are you in favor of adopting the amendment? if so, send other servants to do your bidding; but if you are opposed to the amendment, Intrust us again with your power, and though we will not have the numerical strength to reject it, yet we can and will have it postponed to a general election, when tbe people of the whole .State can pass upon it. Tbe answer was, “Well done, good ami faithful servants,” we again delegate to you our power, use it in every honorable way to have the amendment voted on by the whole peo-

ple.

In tbe execution of this trust, the Democratic members in council assembled, decided that they would not qualify as Senators and Representatives unless the arrogant majority wonld give a guaranty e that the amendment ahould b* postponed to a general election. Up to the present time the Republican majority have not even deigned a reply, but have treated tbe proposition and those making it with contempt. They do not dare to appeal to tbe people, and hope the Democracy will submit to less honorable terms or be cajoled into some trap where they can take advantage of them. Democrats, he firm, and do not act rashly or in haste. Do not, through weakness or fear, betray the hopes of a generous constituency. Yon are the last bulwark between the people and a grasping Congress. If you falter and fail, the curses of a betrayed and deceived people will follow yon to your graves. If you prove true to your trust, you will receive the blessings of a country saved from the oppression of a Federal oligarchy.

meat. The effect to the

oaaea. The Tammany platform lays down the true National Democratic creed on finances, as declared by tbe nnanimous voice of a representative body obeying the command of the National Democratic constituency; and Democratic leaders of any State or section who imagine that they can carry the masses with them by ignoring it, or by affirming subserviemy to a privileged aristocracy of bondholder, are very mnch mistaken. The financial article of the Democratic faith is as true now aa it waa on the fourth of Julv last, and it must remain true so long as its subject matter stands unchanged.—

All this comes of “ignoring the Tainmany Platform.” It will he remembered that when the Democratic Convention met in Connecticut in January last to nominate the ticket Just defeated.

William A- Bonham) to read the journal of yesterday. The Secretary’s minutes of. yesterday’s proceedings having been read— The Lieutenant Governor said: The Secretary will call the roll. The Secretary proceeded with the roll call, and the following named members appeared and answered, viz: Messrs.

The Lieutenant Governor then directed the Secretary to call the counties and Senatorial Districts unrepresented. The Secretary called the following named Senatorial Districts: The county of Vanderburgh. 1 he counties of Knox and Daviess. Tbe counties of Pike, Dubois and Martin. The counties of Perry, Orange and Crawford. The counties of Washington and Harrison. The counties of Floyd and Clark. Tho.counties of Ohio and Dearborn. The county of Franklin.

Mr. Johnson, of Spencer—Mr. President: 1 move that wo adjourn till to-mor-row morning at 10 o'clock. Mr. Stein—Under the rule, I believe we adjourn till 10 o’clock. The Lieutenant Governor—I be the Chair made a mistake in the ruling of yesterday on thia point. Upon reilection I believe we have no role* for our guidance except the Conatitutioa. 1 am rather inclined to think;ii(is eompeleut to adjourn, upon motion, to any boor from dav to day. I lielieve it has been the custom of the Senate at oaeh aesaion to adopt the rulea of the previous session, but inasmuch as we have no rules, we must lie governed bv common parliamentary law.

The Lieutenant Governor—We can only adjourn from day to day. The motion is not in order. Mr. Stein—I move to adjourn till 10:20 a. m., to-morrow.

Mr. Bradley—I move to adjourn till tomorrow at three o'clock, l\ M. Mr. Cravens—Mr. President: I hope the Senate will not adjourn. It seems to me that we ought to do something, if we do nothing more than to talk about some steps for the organization of this body. This thing of meeting from day to day simply to adjourn, is too much like child's play. We have a remedy; wo have two remedies, and wiien this motion ia disposed of, I suggest that we go on and make an effort to do something. Mr. Hooper—It is upon the strong probability that by adjourning till tomorrow we can probably organize without any difficulty, it ia under that impression I vole for the motion to ad-

The Speaker—The gentleman from Spencer [Mr. Gordon] did not offer the motion to adjourn nine die. He submitted

a suggestion.

Mr. Stewart of Rush—Then I will speak tothesug'ts’ion. Wehave no power to adjourn *uie die, but we have the power— and that is all we can do—to adjourn

from day to day for five days.

Mr. Osborn—I rise to a point of order.

The Speaker—The point is well tak<fo. Mr. Monroe then moved that the House

adjourn until two o’clock p. m.

Mr. Yater—I would like for the gentleman from Jefferson to withdraw that mo-

tion for a few moments.

Mr. Monroe adhered to his motion, and the question thereon was decided in the

affirmative.

AFTERNOON SESSION. The Chair having been resumed by Mr. Speaker Stanton at 2 o’clock r. m.— On motion of Mr. Buskirk, a call of the House was ordered and proceeded—discovering, as before, no quorum present— 59 members responding. Mr. Osborn—Understanding that there are a Biimb*>'-of gentlemen members elect of this Legit 1 tture in thecity.and still hesitating to come forward and qualify^juid wishing to give them the fullest opportunity to do so, he moved that the Hou&e adjourn tills o’clock this afternoon. Mr. Vater desired to amend the motion —to adjourn till to-morrow morning. 1 The Speaker—The motion to amend is

not in order.

Mr. Osborn’s motion was agreed to on ; a division—22 voting in the affirmative. So the Speaker declared the recess till 5 |

EVENING SESSION. 1 The Speaker pro tempore resumed the Chair at 5 o’clock p. m. Mr. Osborn—Mr. Sjieaker, I sup|»ose it j would be useless to go thtough the call of the roll again, whilst there is nuft a quorum present. I therefore move that the House adjourn till 9 o’clock to-morrow

morning.

The motion was agreed to; and accord-

ingly the House adjourned.

HOUSE OF RF.PBENENTATIVEN. Friday, April 9, 1869. The Mouse met at nine o'clock a. m.. pursuant to adjournment yesterday— {Speaker Stanton in the chair. The journal of yesterday having been reaii— Tiie Speaker pro tempore ordereti a call of the House to determine a quorum. ~~~* The Clerk again called tbe names of the qualified members. He then called the several counties and representative districts—the result still discovering no quorum present. Mr. Vater—Mr. Speaker: As wo have no response from l ho counties and districts where the special elections have been held, I offer the following: And he

sent up a paper. Mr. Coffroth—Mr. Speaker: I object. I object to the reading for information. There being no quorum we can do no legislative business. The Speaker—The Chair holds with the gentleman that wo can do no legislative business, but the paper can be read for information. The Clerk then read as follows: Whkhhah, In accordance with the proclamation ot the Governor convening iho General Assembly in special session, we have met in the hall of the House of Representatives to transact such business as may properly come before us; and Wm-nuiAs, The uewly elected members are not present with their credentials to he qualified, and thus enable us to transact the business of necessary legislation; and Whereas, We do not know who are such members elected to fill the vacancies paused ity the late resignations of Democratic members of this House; therefore, Resolved, That the Secretary of State be, and is hereby, requested to furnish to this House, without delay, certified copies of the official returns, of the several counties, of special elections for members of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, held March 23, A. D. 1869, which are tiled in his office. Mr. Gordon—Mr. Speaker, as we have met and a call of the House been ordered, and no response has been given irom a member of the counties of the State, I hold that there is no organization, and that it would be well now for tbe House to adjourn sine die. Mr, Coffroth (in his scat), I second the motion. Mr. Gordon (continuing) that we have no right to proceed with legislative business unless a quorum lie present. And if none of the members newly elected from the late vacant districts respond to their names—if none of them offer their credentials here, and are willing to be •worn in, we have no right to proceed.
