j'-A -{FT ADDRESS.^

«!f he of In an a The undersigned, qaembers of the Hou.je 1 of Representative of Hie Fdrty-seventh

General Assembly of th^ State 6f Indiana •-J": 'have resigned iheir seats. A proper re?pect for ourselves and the various constituencies' which we represen tad, demands from us an exposition of the motives which inflnenced oar action.

In explanation of onr conduct, we respectfully subinitlhe following statement of facts:

We have been, as a minority on the 4 floor of the House, compelled to submit to novel, unjust, unprecedented and ty« rannical rulings from the Speaker, made for the sole and only purpose of furtheruig party schemes and measures.

We have been denied o:ir privilege to be heard in support of right, principle and law. Our constitutional rights as a minority li.ive not been respected but have been trampled under fobt by the majority without the semblance of justice or decency. Brnte force has been threatiS® ened from the chair to subject ns to the •i'"i arbitrary and unconstitutional demands of the majority. What we have claimed as a privilege, and never before question* ed by any deliberative body, has been de*

nied us. Forbearing to take the step we have finally been compelled to take, our forbearance has beeta construed into abject submission to their behests.

They demanded that wc should acquiesce in the will of the majority to enact an infamous, iniquitous and unconstitutional measure, known as House Bill No. 291, to apportion the State for Senatorial and Representative" purposes, denying us, by the* operation of the "previous quetf-

tion," the right to amend or suggest any change in the proposed law. And by -j reason of the accidental majority of the

Democratic party upon the floor of the House, all debate and all amendments were not only cut off, bat the bill-referred to was placed out of its regular order, and given precedence, over all other important legislation then pending and having been passed to engrossment under the arbitrary rulings of the Speaker, in direct violation of law, to complete the infamy the bill was, by sheer force of Democratic "power, made the 'Special order for the 'next day at 9 o'clock

M., thtreby de

claring that all legislation, of whatsoever 'character o.r importance, should be post* [poned untii the unlawful and unconstittitional behests of the majority should be subserved. •j The enormity and infamous character of this measure will be seen when it is considered that, should this bill become a •law, the Republican party might carry -the State by 15,000 majority, and yet un•der its provisions the Democracy would stil control both branches of the General iAssembly, thus giving to a minority, in -'express violation of the wishes of a majority of'Vhe people, the United States Senators and all the officers to be chosen »hy the General Assembly.

Indeed, it was the open and avowed purpose of the majority, in the language of the Representative from Monroe coun "ty (Mr. Mitchell), to so re-district the "State that the Republicans should never -again have a majority in the General Assembly.

This bill was offered by the Democrats

f]as

an amendment to the present apportionment law, when it was in fact an entire new and distinct law to take the place of the present law, which was passed by the Legislature in 1867.

The enumeration upon.which this law? ®was passed, was made in I860 the law passed in 18G7.

Our Constitution, Art. 4, Sections 4 and are follows, to-wit: SECas

4. The General Assembly shall, at

.its second session after the adoption of •this Constitution, and every six years .thereafter, cause an enumeration to be made of all the white male inhabitants over the of twenty-one years

SEO.5.age

The number of Senators and

Representatives shall, at the session next followihg each period of making such en umeration, he fixed by law, and appor tioned among the several counties accord ing to the white male inhabitant above twerrtyone years of nge in each Provi vided, That the first and-second elections of members of the (General Assembly under this Constitution, shall be accord ing to the apportionment last made by the General Assembly before the adoption of this Constitution.

It willjbe seen that, by the express terms of the Coristitutiori above quoted every six yean only can an apportion ment be made for legislative purposes, and that this must be done at the session next after the' successive enumerations are made. Not, then, till after the enu: meration now being taken is complete, could such a measnrebe constitutionally passed—that is, not until the session of 1873. Yet the Democracy, because of their power, pr'ffpoaed to override the Constitution, and place upon our statute books this act, thus shfrwing thgt the Democracy in the present legislature are wholly regardless of law and Constitu uon, and are as revolutionary in charac ter now as they were ten years ago.

We earnestly appealed to the Democracy to gKMtpobe the consideration of this bill till a later day in the session, so that the many important measures pending might be finally acted upon, and all non political questions in which the people are, interested settled but our appeals were treated with contempt.

Having taken an oath to support the Constitution of the State when we took our seats, we could not sit silently by, and suffer the final accomplishment by the Democ racy of this unjust, unconstitutional and revolutionary measure, without feeling that we would be chargeable as accessories to the crime and to prevent it we resigned our seats as members of the Legislature.

We confidently appeal to the intelligent, law-abiding people of Indiana to sustain our action.

Railroad Consolidation. At the present rate of prpgress in that direction, all the railroads »f the coun* try will be consolidated into about half••dozen lines in a generation or two. The Joy combination reaches now from Buffalo to the Indian Territory, and will soon stretch fromGalveston to New York. Yanderbilt must fall into line or be crushed. The next most powerful combination is tinder the anspices of the Smith family. Beginning at Boston, the Smiths have two lines, extending north throngh Vermont, west to Ogdensburg, and, prospectively, to the Pacific ocean. Thay own all the railroad property in Vermont—at least have control of the wholev thfe lnst link hating been riveted a few days uo. From Ogdensburg to eSmi Chicago, the Smiths have a line of water transportation. The principal member of the Jamily, ex-Governor Smith, of St. Albans, is the

J. Gregory President of

the Northern Pacific Railroad. If he -lives ten years, at the longest, he will undoubtedly control a line from ocean to ocean, with branch roads without number.—Chicago Journal.

The Apportionment Bill. In considering the rightfulness of the

House whorMign^todrf^the Aw»r-Lhe

tionment Bill concoeted bribe Democra-

session was to, open In this respect the action from that of the majority of the Legislature of 1863, which put the infamous "Military Bill" before the House, and demanded that that should become a law before a single other measure of legislation—even the usual and needed Appropriation bills—should be considered. To defeat that scheme the Republican minority bolted, and the bolt was endorsed, by the people at the next succeeding election sweeping the revolutionary Democracy from power by an overwhelming vote.

In a time of war and turbulence the Military bill sought to take the military power of the State out of the hands of & loyal Governor, and vest it in three disloyal officers, two of whom, at least, were believed to be members of a secret socie-. ty whose organic principle was treason to I

the United States Government. Upon that issue the patriotism and honor of the people of the State sustained the bolters. Now, in an era of profound peace, when, by a mere accident of apathy, the Democrats have obtained temporary control, knowing the utter impossibility of con tinuing their power by a fair appeal to the people, they attempt to perpetuate

sixth year thereafter, was passed. The enumeration of 1866 was taken under this law, and another will be taken this year. The General Assembly of 1867 based the present apportionment on the enumeration df 1866, and it will be the duty of the next General Assembly to make a new apportionment, based on the new enumeration to be taken this yearw^

Enumeration.

Constitution required one in the following years, viz: 1st In 1853 2d In 1859 3d In 1865 4 th In 1871

The enumeration that ooght to have been taken in 1865 was taken in 1866, and the apportionmet of 1867 based upon it was made at thtf regular time for an apportionment, it being in the sixth year commencing to count from 1856, when the first apportionment ought to have been made. There is no escape for the Democratic majority from the charge of unconstitutionality which this resume fastens upon their proposed action. The next apportionment cancot be legally made nntil 1873. The Democracy virtually propose to base two apportionments upon one enumeration.

Their claim that the. bill is only an amendment to the present apportionment law is invalid. The Constitution provides that the apportionment shall be fixed, and there is no power to alter, change or amend it until the six years of its operation have expired. But this qnibble is just sufficient upon which to predicate the belief that a solid Democratic Supreme bench would overrule the question of constitutionality, had the Republicans conclnded to let it become a law and be subject to judicial test.

Its Fraud.—We have the time this morning but for a very few examples of the infamous character of this apportionment bill. The remark of Mr. Mitchell, quoted in the former part of this article, is a sufficient index to its general effect.— Its details fully sustain the exultant expectation of its Democratic progenitors.

We append a few counties, each of| which are allowed one Representative, with their populations:

Henry county, Republican, has a population of23,086 and but one Representative, While Boone and Clinton jomtly have but 39,872 inhabitants ana three Representatives, two of whom would be Democratic, the ratio being cut down to about thirteen thousand so as to insure the gain of a Democrat' from these two counties.

These comparisons could be continued to a great length, but we forbear. Enough has oeen given to show how the Re* publican counties have been Bhorn of their proper representation under the
