A COKB FSP02IBENT 'of The T-'Hri\c V" poses the Hon. CiiAiti.ti President, and IIoiiace bag

anl the Terre Haufe and Indianapolis Kailroad. The Indianapolis Commercial has this mention of the alleged claims of the State against the Terre Haute & Indian, apolis Kailroad:

Every session of the.legislature there is a great ouury about the claims of tlie State on the Indianapolis & Terre Haute 1 Railroftd Company on account of its-cliir-ter. Whethsr anything is miide oS the company or not, we cannot tell, but as it is continually claimed that the corporation owes the State million dollars, more or less,, it would seem that somebody should isftke sbmethifig litfi'ess^rtie^adr pays up.

The real fact is the State has no equitable claim upon the company. It received a charter as a private corporation at a time when there was no general law, and the-legislators and applicants for tlie charter went to worn "as if this w£s to be the only road ever built between the east and the west. It was to have special privileges, and was to pay the Suite all above'the reimbursement of the'Htoek and *15"pS^ Cent, interest. The road-has been, a very successful one but whether it has •done this, is not so posi'ive as the statements of those wishing to make a little capital out of it. .But tlie equity of the case was the payment of a price for a special privilege, or

Uionopolv. By the general railroad law, by which the whole State was thrown open to whoever wishes to build railroads, all the special points of the charter of the Terre Haute road were abrogated aud the road stands on the same fooling as all other roads.

Even the House of Representatives of the great, free and sovereign State

Indiana can't fight a well conducted paper to any advantage. Today that slightly overcrowded body is doing nothing of any interest, though necessary enough to the disposal of business. It is calling the counties for petitions, memorials, bills and anything that anybody want* to present, and it has done nothing else since it met this morning.

HHt

The Senate had no morning sess:on) that time being given to committee work. This afternoon the "regular order" has been followed, and bills on the third reading, or reported from committees for amendment or tabling, have made up the session. The only one of these of any consequence was the amendment to the ^felony statute, introduced by Mr. Martin-dStfe-of this county, making it felony for any man hold.ing an office of trust or profit, or aivj''office of a city government, or township trustee, to receive any reward

for ofiicial action, or to

need in his conduct by any nary or valuable consideration.— is not the language of the bill, but it may serve to convey the idea that prohibits, in the plainest terms, all forms and shades of bribery, tinder the penalty of a fine not to exceed $1,COO and imprisonment not to. cx.ceed ten years. On the suggestion of Mi-. Glesshcr, of Shelby, who wanted it recommitted, and amended so as to add incapacity to hold office and disfranchisement for any determined period. Mr. Martindale accepted the amendment and it passed by 40 to 0. I did not ob.-eive any provision for the punishment of the man offering the bribe as well as (lie officer taking it, but there should have been one there.

The revelation of Mr. Eiliolt, of Fayette, that he had been offered §15,000 for lil-i aid in passing three swindling-bills, concurs with rumors that have been floating around the Slate House and the Bates House for several days. The drift of them is that the canal is to be sold on Garrett's lien in order to get the fee simple'out of the Stale. The canal, is held in trust for our creditors, not in fee simple, and in this condition nobody can sell it but the Sheriff, upon execution. The absolute title and property once in available shape the owners, or beneficiaries •jfiow, can sell it to some advantage.

Most of them are speculators who got their canal stock for five cents on the dollar, and if they pan be placed in a condi tion to make a good rand legal sale'they can profit 'to' the extent of thirty cents on the dollar. The Wabash Valley Railroad will give a million or two of dollars for the advantage of ruining it and its com« petition with their work. Vanderbilt will give two milliona or 46re for the chance to improve it and use it as a feeder of grain and heavy freight, during the summer, for his road* Either would ''put money in the purse" of the stockholders. And then they would come back upon us with the demand to give them cash for the work which we had allowed to be taken from them. This is ..cutting with back and edge, too, right through the State's "leaf fat," but this is what the. Democratic managers are said to be Aiming at, and certainly It is exactly ^lAt the course of the Sentinel and Senator Brown leads to. -'t' T.T.

APPORTIONMENT.

O'Washington, Jan. 27.—The House Judiciary Committee is waiting for com-

Stales

lete ofiicial population summaries of and Territories before reporting an apportionment bill, the main features of which have been agreed upon, being one prepared by Judge Mercer of the Census Bureau, greatly delayed by failure to receive returns from South Carolina and •Texas. The disturbed political condition of States and defects in the la.^ ^ie Bureau having no power over assistant Marshals, either"to appoint them or to punish them for incomplete or fraudulent returns, has had much to do with thjs delgy. There have been complaints against the Bureau for alleged incompleteness of returns in various localities. These complaints all appear to be founded on statements furnished by Marshals to newspapers, and inspected by the public as official. These returns when examined by census officials here have been found to be very far from accurate, so that in some cases it has been necessary to make an enumeration a second time, causing much delay and trouble. Delays in the South are largely due to the appointment by Marshals of improper persons as Assistant Marshals and enumerators. In many cases thei" olliccrs were ignorant negroes, who did not dare to go into their district during the dav. Some of them have been detected pawning their blanks and certificates for liquor. Superintendent General.

Walker did not discover that any subdivisions were missing till an attempt in the office here to*"make up tables. Then jt required much time to ascertain why tepoi-js had not been made and new offifind a new count.

After brief discussion the joint resolution was recommitted.

The House then proceeded to call vommittee reports of a' private character. Mr. Sheldon, of La from the Commit* tee on Commerce, reported a bill to incorporate the Southern Express Co. The bill was laid on the table.

The House, at two. o'clock, went into Committee of the Whole, Mr. Wheeler in the chair, on the Indian Appropriation bill. After agreeing to some amendments, the committee rose, and the bill passed.

All tlie members gathered around him, laughing heartily at his witty sallies, the effect of which was heightened by his comic style of delivery. "Withbut disposing of the bill,-Mr. Hooper, chairman oY the Committee of Ways aiid Means, rising to a question of order ana privilege, offered the following resolution:

Resolved-, That the Senate bill to repeal so much of the act. approved July 14th, 1870, entitled an act to reduce fntfcrnal taxes and for other purpose for other purposes, as continuous income tax, after the 31st day of December Xf HI, be returned to that body with the it otful suggestion on the part of the lit- that section seven, article one, of the Constitution vests in the House of Representatives, the sole power to originate such measures.

The article of the Constitution was. read which requires all bills for raising revenue to originate in th^.House.

Mr. Randall suggested the provision did not meet this casej as the Senate bill was not a bill to raise the revenue, but to repeal the tax to raise revenue.

The 'Hepse refused to order the yeas and nays on the resolution," and* it was adopted without division. .The House then at 4:20 toot recess till 7:30 o'clock, the evening session and the session to-morrow to be for debate only.

SPKCIAL WTHE HERALD.

Berlin, Jan. 25.—The report of the arrival of Favre at Versailles and that he was received to-day, created great excitement, although at present it is not ofB ciallv confirmed. As soon as the news of the supposed intended capitulation was raised abroad, the streets were filled with joyful crowds. Great numbers ef people repaired at once to the Palace in hopes to see the Queen and hear from her lips the glad intelligence promising a speedy return of peace. They were disappointed in their expectation, as no telegram had reached Her Majesty. All the public offices and business generally suspended, the employes being anxious to gather the news.
