Fridny Kornttir, January 13, 1871 - -.. Governor Baker' Message. Tt affords tee great pleasure, in again welcoming th representatives .of the peo- ; pie ro these" halla oF legislation, to greet "-. you -at the outlet with, the assurance that the financial condition of the State, eu far at least as the liquidation of our foreign indebtedness ia concerned, is moot rati a- - Jactory. Practically alt the foreign debt

ot tne Mate, except 5178,000 ot the war loan bonds issued under the legislation of

1501, nas been redeemed. In this connection I desire apain to call attention to the renewal of an effort which is about to be made bj the holders of the Wabash ard Erie Canal stocks to induce

the General Assembly to charge the payment thereof on the Treasury of the State The hiotory of this transaction ia re hearsed in full by the :Goernor, and he makes a lengthened argument to sustain Lis view of the matter, al expressed in.two propositions: 1. That bv tl.e terms of the act of Jan. tiary 19, 1817, and January 27, 184b.

vumuiuoiy cauea ine "uutler Mill, and the nature of the negotiations which resul- . ted in their adoption, and especially the

auienaiuents suggested by the principal

uuuunuiucrs io lue nrsi act, and adopted in the second, the character of the bonds surrendered, and the certificates of canal stock issued and received in lieu thereof.

and, by the contemporaneous and suhe-

que.it construction put upon the adjuM-

u kj j uuiii (niMCB iiiereto. it is clear

that the canal stocks which the State is iiow asked to charge upon ber Treasury were to be, and were, charged ezclu Teiy upon the Wabash and Erie Canal, its lands and revenue, and that the State was not to be and was not, bound to pay any . portion nf these stocks, although she reserved the right'ts redeem the canal at he. option after the expiration oftweoiy jeais frotn the date of its transfer to the Trust sea, by paying the principal sum charged upon it to the holders of the ceitifieate.s of the 6tock ttus charged. 2 That the Sttte has not, since the adjustment of 1847, by the incorporation of raiiroad companies, and authorizing them to contract railioads within the State

or by any other act of hers, according to any recognized rule of law, or any established principle of equity jurisprudence, created a liability on her part to pay taid canal stocks, or any part thereof. In other words, had the same transactions oc curred between two natural persons over whose rights and liabilities the courts could have exercised the fullest jurisdiction, the claims now urged against the btate could not have been enforced as between these natural persons by an action at law, or a 6uit in equity. In conclusion on this point the Governor ays:

until he pronounces judgment between the patties in-tbe case betore him - -It is worse than delegating legislative powers A til t 11 tMI. . aklJlll t 1. f. ....?.

can and do procure divorces in our courts

and then return to their homes fr.m which they fled for that very jurpote, is a re

proach to (tie emits kiion of the age, and a breach of that comity which should be

scrupulously observed between sister Stares

of the same great Republican family. I, therefore, recommend that the " clause o! the statute which -authorises divorces fur any cause tbat the Court may deem sufficient, be repealed, and that the clause making cruel treatment a good caue ot divorre be so amended as to require the treatment tor be cruel and inhuman, or cruel and barbarous. I furtherrecomuieod that the practice in divorce cases be so amended as to embrace theTollosiog provisions, viz . I

The Legislature. The Senate "convened atlO. o'clock Thursday morning of last week. Lieu tenant Governor Cumback in the chair. Two Republican members were. absent, and lion. Janus Hughes, Senator from Monroe county, and Senator Elliott, from he Con oeraville District, both elected on the Republican ticket, acted ' with the Democrats, thus giving the control of the organisation to the Democrats. The officers elected are: Principal Secretary, W. R Harrison, of Morgan county. Democrat; Assistant Secretary J. V. Cole.

Republican; and Doorkeeper, James W

Cookerly, Republicans

When the Senatorial districts were called

in the organisation, the admission of John

W. Burson, from the Munoie district, was

objected to from the Democratic side, on the grouod of bribery and fraud in the

election. The Lieutenant-Governor deci

ded that the credentials being in proper fotm. and no regular contest presented, he

could be sworn in, which was done. Im

mediately after the Senators were qualified

Pelore dismissing the subject t earnest ly recommend the passage of a joint resolut!'n prnpoMug an auueudtiient to ill

Constitution so aa to declare that no act of

legislation shall ever take effect or become a law of this State whereby said canal stocks, or any part thereof, shall bo recognized as a debt of the State, or charged upon the Treasury thereof by way of redeeming said canal, or otherwise, until tuch act af legislation shall have been sub mittedtoand ratified by the qualified elecfors of this State at a special election held

lor that purpose in pursuance of law, a majority of the votes cast at such election to be neces sary to effect the ratification. Regarding assessment, equalization and collection of taxes, the message says: I recommend that in imitation of the assessment laws ol Michigan, an amend-

nient (hall be passed declaring that the words "cash value," as applied to the appraisement of property for taxation, shall mean the usual selling price at the place where the property is at the time of assessment, not at a forced sale, but at private sale. I trust that you will be able to devise some remedy to prevent the demoralizing pracrie of Counties and indi

viduals competing with each other in the valuation of their taxable at a rate grossly disproportionate to their real value. The action of the State Board in equal, iztng the appraisemeut of real estate has been disregarded in many, if not all, the counties in which a per centum was directed to be added to the appraisement as left by the District Boards; but where adeduction was directed to be made, the Couuty Auditors, as a general ru!e, have not been slow to extent the order in miking

Vith such amendments as these we might well hope that Indiana divorces would soon cease to be advertised in any ol the Atlantic cities as marketable comiuodities, and that tefugees and fuitlre.j ;..; the justice of other estates would ;- ;-.,

come to Indiana in quest of divorces to be used on their return to their homes as licences to violate the laws of our sister

btates.

The message is entirely free from the slightest tloge of partisanism. No one

could tell from reading it whether ti e Gov ernor was a Republican or a Democrat

and in this respect it is in fine contrast

with the recent performance of Governor

Hoffman; of New York. Altogether it i?

o appeal was taken from the decision ot

;!H' '.'tairand sustained by atnjority of

-. jrcai., and after a long discussion a vioa was adopted declaring Burson not entitled to a seat, referring his case to

a select committee. This action, with Hughes and Elliott acting with the Democrats, gives the Democrats a majority of three in the Senate Die Republicans were unprepared for. the action of the majority of the Senate, and are very indignant against Hughes and Elliott fbrdeserting them. The House met at the same hour, and

organized with Wui.Mack.of Vigo, Speak

er; Samuel W. Holmes, of Jackson, Clerk;

F. S. Williams, of Tippecanoe, Assistant

Clerk; Frank AI. ShueU, of Clark, Doorkeeper.

gally suspending a Republican member

by the assertion that they have resorted

to "tactics in the Senate to seoure a ma

Republican history," perhaps it will favor

its readers with some such precedent in

Republican history. We remember none, and, therefore, we have to doubt, until the

precedent shall be procured. Here is

etectioo: and with not even the pretense

of any one to contest his seat. Even if

somebodv had appeared to contest his Beat,

still he would have been as much entitled to be sworn in and exercise all the powers of a

member as any one there He was sworn in. He then could only be ousted by a successful oontest of hia elotion, or by a regular expulsion. Neither was done or is to be attempted. But a bare majority ruled that bis name should not be called in the votes. Ti ey bad the same right to -upend any other member, or any number of members A bare majority could hus suspend all the opposition. It is a

The Indianapolis Journal, speaking of

he complaints concerning the present

management of the above rotd, says:

The whole trouble arises from the fact

that the Receivers, who are competent and

practical men, are running tbe line io the

interests ot the Mock holders and not for

the special bent fit of any one locality.

Fighting for the Spoils.

The captors of Cheek having nnaVrl

about the division of the reward otfered by Dearboto County, have been before th

Commissioners with their claims, Buffing ton asking for all the reward, while Chia

man aud Irew demand each a third. The

court decided to give one-half the amouot

to liumogton, and the remainder in equal portions to the others. ' From the .Independent we learn that after some consul tation between the claimants and their attorneys, they announced their intention to appeal, expressing their intention to briug the caee before the Common PiM

Court at its next session the January term when they will apply for a change of venue to Ohio County, unless the couo ty will consent to waive b trial bv iurv.

in which case they will be satisfied to L
