Tho Convention of the 7th inL, wu a very general representation of the entire State. We judge the! nearly every county wee represented. The Cou rent ion wee ipalaiil by calling Jrooa Mo tow to the chair, ssvd appointing a number of sooretariee and Vice-President. The apeech of Judge MoaTox wu wall received by everybody bat Old Linen, and Maj. Robin 4v. of Evaaeville. Doth dialiked it, becauee he did not propcee an aeeault up o-i slavery in the State, Tho following reeoIntloM wer peeaed: RESOLUTIONS. I. That we have unabated confidence in the prineiplea.of Repoblicanlani, aa embodied In the Declaration of Independence; In the opinions of the father of the Republic; and re-aoecrted in the platform of principle adopted by the Republican et Philadelphia; that those (, being I olf-sxlstant and immuta ble, are not established by lucceea or overthrown by defeat; and wo adhere to them ae the tureat foundation ou which the people of the United Sutee can reat their böge of perpetuating the American Union. 9. That in Republicanism reata the only true coneervattam of the Union and the only jual defenee of the Conetltnlloo from tho reproach of being founded upon despotism, in tho application of its principle to the institution of Slavery aa It exist In o portion of the American States, It recognises the relation of master and servant as the creature onlj of local law, and deniea to the Federal Government say power to interfere with It where It la legalised; but at tho same time with determined resistance opposes iU extension into the free territories of the United Btatee; and we arraign before the country, as willful faltlflora of the record and of history, those who, during the late canvass, declared that the aim of Republicanism was to dissolve the Union, or to set free the slaves of the South, wbersby they practiced a gross and willful deception upon the unwary end unsuspecting. 8. That Republicanism Is plain, open and direct, in principle and In action; that while its political rival is compelled, for the sake of success, to resort to a Jesuitical construction of platforms, declaring Its principles In language which is successfully mads to mesn one thing in one section of the country, and another thing in another, Republicanism haa no occasion to resort to subterfuge snd fraud for suoeess; that it 'cannot afford to bo dishonest to achieve a triumph; that its fundamental idee Is equal right; thst iU great aim is the highest attainable prosperity; that its great .instrumentalities for 'attaining this consummation, are Free Speech, Free Labor, and a full development of all the physical resources of tho country; snd for these, Republloene pledge to the whole Union, their best energies, until; success shall crown their efforts. 4. The! if Kansas is saved to Freedom, tbs country will be indebted for that result to the strength, moral power, and energy of the Republican party, 'as displayed in the canvass of i860; thst they are the only perty that combine the power and the will to accomplish this;result; and notwithstanding their temporary defeat, it will be their duty and pleasure to continue their efforts until crowned with ultimata sMjocses. 5. That in the canvass of 1856, our standard bearer, Joux C. FnufoRT, haa borue himself nobly and gallantly; that, exposed to tho assaults of an (unscrupulous foe, '.he has withstood tho shock with n manly firmness snd dignity, worthy of our highest admiration, while the shafts of falsehood and malevolence have fallen harmless st his feet; and he cornea forth from tho conflict with honor untarnished, a feme unsullied, snd a bright and glorious earnest of tho future. 0. That this Convention, in behalf of the Republicans of Indiana, desiro to ex press their hearty and cordial approbation of the course and conduct of Hon. 0. P. Most-roll, during ths lata canvass, for Gov ernor, and hereby return to him their thanka for the faithful and energetic neriu which he conducted tho canvass. 7. That ths State of Indiana would be better repreeented in the Senate of tho United States by vacant aeetsthsn by those men who havo given aid and sue ment to the extension of slavery into free territory; who have encouraged the gov ernment In the perpetration of its crimes against humanity, havs sneered at ths surYeringajof "bleeding Kansas," and mock ed when their brothers' blood crisd to them from the ground. 0. That after a uniform practice of thirty-eight rears, of sleeting United Diätes Senators, in Joint convention of the two the conduct of the Democratic ite of 1855, in refusing to go into con vention for that purpose, whereby they prevented the election of a Senator, wat revolutionary; that having, by such con duct, broken down and destroyed ths prec edent, and there being no law requiring euch election by joint ballot, and the State having bean apportioned into senatorial and reprssentive districts by proclamation of the Governor, nnauthorised by law or the Senate is undsr no obligations to the precedent of sleeting by joint Convention, but will be justifiable in stand ing upon their strict legal rights, upon plain and moat obvious principle of lew and natural justice, which declare that "no one shall be allowed te profit by his own fraud." 9. That we advise snd request ths opposition members of ths present General Assembly to sleet United ; States Senators by the two Houses separately. 10. That the Constitution of Indiana uuqht to be so amended as to ths limit the right , of suffrage to cttiaone, either by

birth or naturalisation, under the

laws of Congreee, 1 1. That this committee recommend that the President of the Convention appoint s committee I prepare and publieh an addrees to the People of the State espceeiv expressive of tho souse of this Convention. 18. That w are in favor of appropriating a portion of ths publio landa to actual settlers, in such quantities aa to secure homes to free laborers, and are opposed to the monopolising of said lands by wealthy speculators, to the exclusion of such iabo rem. That in tho settlsmsnr snd orof Territories k in the United States, no ouch outrages have been committed In any or. all of them together, as havo already marked the early history of Kansas; and that this proves conclusively tho absurdity of dsparting from tho well established practice of the Government, to try the experiment of Squatter Sovereigntylitmtvmt, That when we retrospect ths state of affairs in Kansas during tho past summer the national highway, the Missouri Rivsr, effeotuslly closed against all northern emigration; all necessary supplies of provisions and clothing cut off ; bodies of armed pro-slavery marauders congregating and fortifying themselves in strong positions in various ports of the territory ; robbing ,d murdering the inhabitants, burning their houses, and threatening "Death; to all Free State men" we cannot too highly extol ths patriotism snd heroism of th "Gallant Col. J. II . Lane" and the bravo men associated with him in breaking upthose encampments, and driving back in consternation and dismay the minions of ths slave-powor,Jwhlch our adversaries are very anxious to sst Tto the credit of Gov. Geary, whose opportune Arrival datee from this auspicious pariod in the history of the tsrritory. Beeolvml, That ws rejoice to perceive the salutary effect of the overwhelming vote of the Northern and Western States in favor of freedom, aud eepeoially the freedom of Kansas, aa shown by tho removal ofthat modem Jsffriss Chlsf Justic Locompto, of Kansas; Marshal Donaldson, Secretary Wood, and the murderer, O. W. Clarke, 11 appointees of President Pierce, snd tbs infamous and unscrupulous agents of ths slave power.

Will Nsvitt tells a story that i too good to bo lost. The other day, a Dutchman got alioard his train at Lawrenceburgh, having purchased a ticket for Spades'. On arriving st the last station, howsvsr, before his intended destination, be discovered that it was tho place whero he wished to stop instssd of Spades'. He started through tho cars on a run, clearing the way as hs went, in search of the Conductor. On finding that functionary he demanded that a portion of hie fare be refunded. This of course was refused, when the enraged Dutchman exclalraed"Vell den; py tarn, ride him out." And sure enough he staid aboard in order to get the worth of his money. When tho train stopped at Spades', tho Dutchman got off to take paasags back, about six miles.on'Walkers' line, exclaiming as ho left tho car, "py tarn, nefer I pe to madder as Ml now."

The Or-ii nisatlon el the senate By reference to the Legislativo pro ceedings, iu another column, it will be seen that rather a rich scene was ensctad in tho organisation of the Indiana Senate. When we left Indianapolis, Thursday morning, every old linor was confident that there would be on olection of United States Senators, by the Democratio party.

Homo say It is to bring on an sleotlon of Senator by tho aid of his sugust presence, and powerful money. That can't be. Aa Mr. Bright is opposed to electing Senators when a majority on olnt ballot differs from a majority of the "Conservative Branch," it is more ressonable to suppose that his object Is to demonstrate to tho Senat and the world, that Indiana doos not need any Senator at Washington. Wsare sure that if ono I not needed, in such times ss theso, none will vr be, and as Mr. Bright thus assures the people of Indiana that none is is needed, we doubt not that the Senate will chooss to do wlthont, for two years, at least Cunt back ftpeecb. The ditor of the Indiana Journal was in Washington and heard Mr. Cum back's speech which wo published last week. After copying a part of it he aays : "We wish, we could find spaco for tho wholo of the speech, for it is short, and vory little) infected with the proaingof la boriously written efforts. It has the lifo and efforvosconce of n stump speech, thrown off in the heat of an exciting campaign, but marked with the accuracy of statement and soundnsu of reasoning of elaborate harangues. At the conclu sion, Mr. Cumbach waa warmly compli monted by th Republicans, and by some of those of the other sido, and we hoard more than one ssy thst it wss the most effoctivo speech of tho session. Mr. Cumback has earned a very oreditable position in Congress, and his merit are universally appreciated, and cordially acknowledged.

The to-baooo-chewer rarely eats a raw oyster, preferring it fried, and coated over with grease and its empireuma; if ho takes it raw, he tortures the poor creature with popper and vinegar, and sticks a fork in it; he cannot elicit It gently from its pearly prison with hit lips they are clumsy snd half paralysed.

Editox : It is to ms, one of the greateet mystsries of the age that most all of th letter which your humble servant writas lately, turns out to be "unconstitutionsl." I hsve written three one you know you condemned and throwed under th table th other two, having taken th constitutional scraplss mysslf, I throwed out of court because they were

not sufficiently definite, or being definite, they might have hit tome folks and mad them mad, and therefore you will never have tho honor of pronouncing on them. My pen sometimes take the strangest freaks yon can well imagine, and it is uot a matter of wonder if I should occasionally becomo a leetle "unconstitutional" in my pseudo litarary performances. This old pen, or rathor pen-holdr with which I now writ has stuck to me with the moat tenacious affection. Indeed I can't tell why I have novcr lost it or why tome body has not stolen It, for it is really a valuablo instrument, for it his made more than one half of my literary (?) fame and bosides nil that t lms rendered

It is delicate in its form and unUnding in it texture aud seems to have quite a pen chant for an active existence. It ie not ofu-n "tin. old thing" takes u notion to Im unconstitutional, but now and than, a I w as saving, it will got up something which, inuttr sober judgmoiits, is pronounced as coming in conllicl with some of the eetabliihed ueagie eocirty, or perhaps bears down too strongly on some fundamental restriction or tho constitution," I can't always manage it so as to havo it ssy just what I like whon it is down, and the only castigation I ever give it, is to throw iu doubtful productions In ths flsmss, right in ite presence. After such a display of my dignified disapprobation it will do better for some time. But these uro it defects It has virtuos, yst its practical modssty will not permit me to speak of them. How "tho old thing" laughod tho other day, when I read In Ite presence a loiter from an old friend who urged me to writ "Why don't you writ t oskod ho "write for tho Advocate," he added "it hat itsSO.OOO roadors, and you will preach to a trornoudout congregation."

It has rendered considerable service on many occasions, aud its opinions ahould bo respected, that is to say, if sge or experience, or both are to bo respocted. But leaving the relio of my scribbling propensities to its favorite pursuit you will please, hereafter, lot it stand alons, and answer for its own Vsaj s," and if they are not all ontirely eonttUutional, why let the Supreme Court docido tho qsottion after its says are published to the world. Now, I would just remark that 1 have boon thinking, iu view of making provisions for my fUure greatnett of applying (just between us) for the degree of A. M. or D. D. I am not particular which, to tome literary institution, and perhaps, as you live very near one of the most peaceable establishment of tho State, I would like to engage you to leg for me. Or would you suggest that I, like sovoral othors who have goue before mo, make my application to some College out of the Stato where I am not known f I believe the Indiana Asbury University has always refused to confer degrees ii j" .ii any of tho preachers of Indiana, who havo built up aaid institution, which no doubt Is n very iublime idoa, for if it would once consent to favor us, it would scarcely be able to accommodate the many worthy and distinguishod friomli it has in this State, who like myself fool that thoy can't get along very successfully without some cognomen appendag. When I toll you that tho old relic above mentioned, and myself have written lecture nftor locture aud yot wo got no invitations to delivor them you will bogin to see the necessity of the dietinction of some kind of a degree, in which that the aforetaid lecturers may not be givon to food mice instead of men. I am truly sorry that no one oven thinks of calling on a "country parson" to deliver a lecture, unless It bo about Sabbath Schools or somothing of that sort Now I think if we poor, olacure fellows could be called "Master of Arts" or "Doctor of Divinity," there are thousands of the peoplo who would'ent know any bettor than to bolievo we were among th gifted sons of tho country ! Ain't the idea a philosophical one T Don't you think that some thing of this kind ought to be done for our deliverance ? Somol know think we ihouhl be contented with the honor (?) of saving souls, and that we should not seok the honors that corns from man. But I would ask how can folks expect ue to be oontented with a poverty stricken obscurity, which loads many to treat us aa if we were only hnrnossod animals, to bo driven round th world for their religious (?) amusement I go lu for the Degrees, mysslf, as the only eovereign remedy to keod up tho dignity and respectability of the Pastoral offic, and to make us equal in tbs eyes and ear of tho multitudo, with the literary mim isters of A. M. and D. D. notoriety. I am aware of ths fact that those who have by hook or crook obtain ed these honors generally think and say that Collage degrees ought to be given out very sparingly that but few men are worthy of them, and all that sort of talk but my word for it if Collages would be more liberal and confer degrees more freely, we would have a much more nume rout body of great men throughout our country. Thsse sre not tho mere random thought Mr. Editor, of my old pen-holder, but they are solid convictions it may be thas they are expressed somewhat like the resolutions of a certain board of trustees of the present centuarr to mean little or nothing, but thai I oould'nt help.

It authorises the secretary of State, under the direction of tho President to contract for the aid of the U. 8. in laying down tho submarine cable to connect existing telegraphs. Seward based his argument in favor of Harlan's right to his seat on the ground that while Logislstivo acts require the eoncurrout votes of th two branches of Legislature, the act of choosing a U. S.

Under ordinary circumstances it would perhaps be a wait of time to notice articles of this charactor appoaring in newspapers, but the editor of the Times occupied a position before this country which entitles his statements to credit; aud if he is in pocsesaion of facts therein charged, he thotild substantiate them before a committee of this Houso, so that members who may lie guilty of such con duct bo known to tho country. As it now stood he, Kelty, could neithor voto for or against a certain proposition without bri lging himtolf directly under the chargot contained iu that article. If there ex ists such a combination as alleged, ho wanted to know it and lot the facts go before the people. He concluded by offer ing the following : Whereas certain statement have boon published, charging, mombors of the Houso with entering into a corrupt combi nation for the purpoto of patting and preventing the passage of certain measures now before Congress; therefore R eso I vxd, That a committeo of Ave mombert be appointed by the Speaker, with power to sond for persons and paper to investigate said charges, snd that the committee report the ovidenco to bo taken and what action, in their judgment 1 nec emmry on tho part of the House, without unnecessary delay. Paine I scarcely kuow whether I ought tossy anything or not I know nothing about that letter nor his journal. I know nothing about any communication mado to it. I know not how he obtaiuod the information. I know not whether it is true or false. But I do know there bus boou propositions mado in tho House, by mombors of the House, on the subject (Sensation cries of " Whc is he ?" "Expose him.") I should not name tho gentleman. (Cries of "down iu front" "stand out of the isle; wo can't sec") I shall mention no member by uamo. (A voice "You ought to do it.") It was with footings of indignation I hoard tho proposition. ( Impetiout demands of "What was it" "Toll It" "Tho reason,") Why I did not auuounc to the Houso, wat, that pending tho organisation of this body, whon a mombor roto in hit place and statod that a fellow momber had directly mado attempt to tanipcr with him for hi vote for Speaker, the only credit ho receivod was, ho wna laughd at. And it was charged that he did not accept tho proffered bribe becuuso thoro was no such profitable placo to be had. I say distinctly, thoro is not a want of truth in the allegation contained iu the Timo's artiolo. A distinct proposition wot msde to me by a member of this House, in regard to the Miunosota Land Bill, and thut fiftoon hundred dollars would bo given in consideration of a voto for that bill. If tho proposed committeo shall bo appointed, aud I am called on aa a witness, I shsll givo my evidence. The resolution, after further debate, was adopted. The speaker will appoint the committee to-morrow. Houso adjourned. WaauiMOTOMf Jan. 10. The senate is not in session to-day, having yesterday adjourned until Afonday. House. The speaker announced the select committee to investigate the allegod charges of corruption, to consist of Kelsey, Orr, Davis, of ifaryland, Richey and Warren. Grow said that he had had for two or three weeks a petition, signsd by fifteen hundred voters of Kansas, remonstrating against the right of Whitfield to a seat as a delegate from that Territory. Ho had been informed that a large number, similsr to this, were on their way, and asked to have read the petition of Binder, setting forth ths reason for contesting Whitfield's seat. Objection being mads, the papers wore

referred to tho Committeo on Election.

Heeder, iu his petition, den ies the right of Whitfield to his, and claims It for himself. Setting forth tho ronton for this assertion, ho says that himself and Whitfield ware candidates at twoseparnto efections, when ho (Heeder) receivod more than double the number of legal votes cast for Whitfiold. Upon a full investigation of all the facts, the House rejected Whitfiold, but refused to admit Heeder. Tho reasons for this are set forth in tho report of the Kansas Investigating Committee. Without now legislation, rud under tho tamo state of things, Whitfield became a candidate for tho religio session of the same Congress, at an election held in October last, entirely without authority of law, in which a largo majority of tho legal voters refused to pari icipute, preferring to recognize a voluntary election. Tho question having already been adjudicated by the .nise, that llie jHJrsolit who did participate in that irregular and unauthorised election were a small number of the voters of the territory, less than those w ho voted at tho volm,Urv l,.rtlon October. 1855, and a W,) "jnimbor of tmn-rosl. denNof the '"'rritorv and person who Were not cnitle, tun vote. On (he result of the election only, Whitfiold had been ndmittc I to, and now occupied his seat in this oiise. It was without, the seinblauen or color of law. f Other reasons are tinted, and In'concltt slon, he contends that if a voluntary and irrotrnlar election, unatitlinnr.eii nv Hie statute, is ineirootiial to n seat, Whitfieh should ho rajected, and as his admission would seem to Indlcato that the House Ie disKsed to reconsider thoir dociiloti ummi this point. 'Mr. Heeder claims to lo entitled to iv seat iu preference to the taid Whitfield, Inastnusch as ho was elected for the whole Congress, at an election more formal, ami mora legal, and by a larger legal vote than that, of October, 1855, and that hi admission is nsked for by petitions from a large number of tho cltixen of Kansas now before the lloiuo. At nil matters of fact set forth in the itotilion are necessary, In the opinion of tho House, to i a ii i aa a ss a be proved, Mt. Ilemlnr offers to establish, by competent ovidenco laifora the House, or any committeo that may bn appointed for that purpose. Uclu bbtrlisniunts. Rising Sim Insurance (Co,, ' Of MMNG SUN.

INDIANA LEGISLATURE. xn nv i. D. joke. SENATE. FIRST DAY. Thursday Mormino, Jau. 8, 1857. Senate met at 9 o'clock. Mr. Bears, of Miami moved that Mr. Rtirko, of Wayne, take the Chair and pro ceeil to organizo tho Senate. The Senate waa called to ordor If Lieut. Govern. ir Willard, who ordered the railing or th roll of member by the Clerk of the last session. Mr. IJuiko ordered the calling of the mil by Mr. Cravens, of Jefferson, acting as tenKirary Clerk. I lie S 'I, it. us u . ie nvit.vl to . reset. t themselves and take tho oath of ouW Jsjiaja Uookins administered the osth to twotity-alg Senators, and tb LituL Governor to twenty-three. Confusion ensued- the two Chairmen alternately calling th houso to order, and the two clerk calling th roll of mem bers. It was moved to go Into th election of Principal Secretary. Mr. Hn-ko put the question, which card od. The clerk of last sssslon, on order of the Lieut, Governor, called th roll, aud declared no quorum present .Inlniiitliiiii S Harvey, of Marion, was nominated for Principal Secretary and reoelrotl a unanimous vote of all members responding to their names. James II. Tyner, of Miami, was nomi nated for first Assistant Secretary, aud re celved the unanimous support of all tho voting mombors. The two clorkt, on calling the roll, an iiotincod nhaentoes, and the Chairman dolared no quorum present (Sconos of confution followed. Mem burs addressing oue or tho olhor of the two Chairmen, the Lieut. Governor rajplng with hia hammer, and a general buss existing all over the house.) Simoon Cheney, of Clinton county, wa nominated for Doorkeeper, und received the unanimous support of all th voting members, Amid sconos of confusion the newly elected officer wont foward and were sworn Into offloa by Judge Oookins. A motion wa mado to go Into an lc tion for Sergeant at Arms, but tho ques tion was not put. Tho old clerk again cnllod tho roll and Itlnrotl twenty member present. Tho now clerk, on calling th roll, declared twenty-ssvon members present. & A motion was mads to adjourn to I o'clock, and was discussed by ono or two member. Tho Lieut. Gov. announced that if the Republicans wlshsd revolution, they rn'ghtas well havo It to-day as at any fu ture time Mr. Hurke, of Wayue, replied that they were not here for revolution, but to prevent revolution; they wished to tram plo upon tho rights of no one. Mr. (-ravens, of Jefferson, said It was well known what tho objoct of the Democratic party was. Ho would stay there until the crack of doom before the scheme of tho old line party should be carried out. The Constitution of tho State did not confer ox press power upon the Lieut. Govornor to organize th Senate. Mr. Suit, of Clinton, remarked, that tho Lieut. Governor wat ditpoaad to be exee.lingly fair. He supposed ths whole difficulty wat whethor Mr. Cooper, of Rush, should bo sworn iu or not lie was for testing the legality of his election, after organisation of tho Senate. The Liout. Governor remarked, that if the gentleman from Rush presented the right kind of a certificate he should be sworn in. Mr. March, of Delaware, said, he came as a reprententativo of the people. lie wu willing the Lieut Govornor should prcsido after tho Sonate bad organized, but the Conststution conferred no powor upon tho Liout. Governor to organise the Sonato of tho State. IIo moved the apjiointment of a committeo of three to agreo iwu some plan of adjustment. Mr. Wallace, of Montgomery, said It wu useless to read law to a prejudiced jury, lie asked where was the law to authorize the Senate to organize itself iu tho maimer that tho Republican were trying to do at that timo ? If there was no law for tho courso the Lieut Governor, where .vas tho law fur tho courso tho Republican proposed ? Mr. Murray, of Howard, read from the Statute in relation to tho unifications of officers, and stated that the Liout Governor had administered tho oaths to members w horn ho had tworu in, in an informal and illegal manner. Hedoclared that the Liout. Govornor had no power, oxproatly, to organize tho Senate. Thoro wnt a Statut cmnowcriiur tho Secretary of Stale, in certain rases, to oriraniae the Senate, and the Auditor of State, to or Kauinothe House of Representatives, and in timos past such organisations Jhod been mado. Koch branch of the Legislature lint the right to judgo of tho qualifications of its own members. Thst power did rest in tho Liout. Governor tho Constitution nowhere gave the presiding officer powor, ea officio, to organise the Senate. Ho claimed that the Lieut. Governor had no powor to judgo of the qualifications of members, but ho had a part iu judging of tho right of th member from Rush to a seat in that body that tho right or power did not belong to tho Lieut Governor but to tho Senate itself. He believed the Republicans were taking tho proper course. He thought the wholo matter could be adiusted by an adjournment untill two o'cl , and a conference held in the meantin. . Mr. March, of Delaware, was in favor of a committeo of conference. Th Senato, he said, was a deliberative body, and had tho right to Judge of the rights and qualifications of its own member the Lieut Gov. nor any other Stat officer had not the right or privilege to judge of the qualifications of members presentIn the abaence of any provision for the organization of the Senate, who, but the Senate itself, had a right or power to judgo of the rights of iu own member ? Mr. Gooding, of Hancock, thought the whole matter of difficulty could be adjusted. He was for peace. He thought the objection to the organisation by the Lieut Governor came from a jealousy of the presiding officer. Custom had said that

Mr. Wallace, of Moatfoeasry. thai the law, as intertsreted by Mr. Murray, was applicable to ths Mr. Stevens, of Decatur, aaid ha surrender no principle which his enta had nt him hers to stvAtaie. Mr. Murray, In reply to th assertion of Mr. Wallace, that th Senate never dies, asked why it was they elected mew e4sV cers at each saMslon 7 If the or died, w hy not let the over judgo of th qualification of new members, If th over was e uficient on to gauisation ? Mr. Suit addressed ths chsir on the quililication of th member from Rush, and asked th Lieut Ooveraer tf Mr. Cooler ahould present CnrtifieaU of election If he would swear him in. He had had all thr name of the flailed except the one Th Lieut Governor replied that if Mr. ' i i ieaotsJJJ I ceil. Iicate that he mi,, sidered legal he would administer the oath to him. Mr. Suit We knew that befor. Mr. Craven proposed to etibmlt the certificate of Mr. Cooper to tb presiding l Iti 1 1 , lo x 1 i F c a i on s Mosers. Tarkington, of Monro, Brown of Shelby, and Freeland, of Knox, apok in reforenoe to a contested ease from Her rison oounty two years ago, and also th pront case from Rush oounty. Mr. Freeland said that he had been in formed that it wa th intention of th minority to contest seal enough to give them ths control of the Senate. Yaryan, of Union, waa in favor of conimproper motive influenced the action of the Republicans. He let out some "Dem ocratio" purpose. The Lieut Governor said be knew of no precedents where the Renste was organ ised by any other person than the one holding his offloe. He had intended swearing In the Bene- j tors from Fountain, Fulton and Marion on presentation of their certiflceiee. The certificate of th gentleman from Rush he had not seen. The rumors to whioh Sen ator alluded might be false. Ue bed bad the roll called, and found twenty senators in their seats. The Lieut Governor again ordered th roll called. The certificate of the clerk of the Cir cuit Court of Rush, stating that had a majority of vote for presented th Lieut Governor, which he read, aud declared that he could admit him to a soat on no suob evidence of election. An interesting little colloquy ensued between the Lieut Gov. and mombers. The roll was again called few Ing. The countlee again', were called stopping when the clerk reached Rush coun tyMr. Craveus deeired Mr. Burk, as presiding officer, to give a dscislon on Mr. Cooler's certificate. He considered it sufficiently legal to entitle him to hie aeat. Tho Clerk elect called the roll a majority anawering. Discussions between individual members, and between members and ths occupants of the chair, followed. After a largo amount of talk, it was sgroed to adjourn until half-past two o'clock. AFTERNOON SESSION. The Senate was called to order bv Lient Gov. Willard. He announced that Judge Oookins wa in waiting, aud would swear in members if the Senste, sfter the calling of the roll, snd presentation of certificatee of members, would so order it Tho Senste concurred. The Lieut Governor called tho Senatort by districts. On ass moling around the Speaker's stand, J udg Oookins swore in the newly elected members; that they would support the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of th State of Indiana; and that they would faithfully fully fulfill their duties as Senators: The Lieut Governor declared the Senate organised. Mr. Drew, of Vanderburgh, moved, that reporters for newspapers be allowed seat and desks wlthiu the bar of the Senate -Adopted. 4 Mr. Murray, of Howard, moved that the Senator from Rush corns forward and be sworn in. Objections were raited. Mr. Wallace, of Monomerr moved to lay the reaolutiou of Mr. Murray on the table Tho ayes and noes were called, resulted as follows: ayeS0, noo S7. Th aye and noe on tb resolution of Mr. Murray were demanded. Notice of a context of th eleotioo of Stanly Cooper, as, Senator from Rush county, waa then read to th Senate by th Clerk. Mr. Heften, of Washington, made a speoch of some minute againat th adop tion of Mr. Murray's resolution. He not in favor of prejudging tb case, there was a notice of a contest in the from an olectorof Rush county. He visaed to see some evidence of the tights of. Mr. Cooper to a seat before he eould consent to se him sworn in. Mr. .Suit, of Qintou, said if the was contested, th evidence in the would be referred toUe Committee en IL ections; and if thoro was a wrong in the case, it would there be righted. He had not a doubt of Mr. Oooper'a right to his seat Mr. Wallacs of Montgomery proceeded to addreas himself to the question befor ths Senate. He .spoke of statute and consciences in the disposition of the case, and read from tb statute governing elections. His speech was rut her wlndv for th use of any reporter traveling into Illinois, Kansas, and elsewhere, for parallel cases to the one under consideration. Mr. Murray, of Howard, cited the cee of Senator Harlan, of Iowa, whtv haa held hi seat in the United State Senate for two years, and yet has it under contest In the case of Whitfield, whioh Mr. Wallace had mentioned, the occupant of the seat had been permited to .keep it until near th cloee of the sseeion of Congress. He waa for the admission, et Mr. Cooper
