Reconstruction. The Committee on Reconstruction diA..f art nsnrl Rntler .trip chairman, la report hill repealing the test oath in twnrrlanee with the recommendation of the President in his iuesage. Only two members of the committee are opposed to tho repeal.

Educational Dills. Several bills have been introduced into Vie Legislature, and are now in the hands . of the Committee on Education, providing lor a more rigid examination of applicants for license to teach in the public and private schools: fixing the compensation of ,. the School Examiner, and in other material particulars amending the preeent law, and raising the standard of schools generally. "But the most important educational measure is a bill for an act to provide for a more extended and improved system of college and university education. The bill proposes that the State University at Bloomington, the Purdue University at Lafayette, and the State Normal School at Terra Haute, shall be -considered co -ordinate branches of the university system of education of tho State, and shall be -made subject to the ame general inspection and control. Prof. Harrison. By invitation of the Good Templar?, Prof. Harrison delivered a course cf three lectures on the physical, intellectual, and moral evils of Intemperance, at Quakertown, Union County, Indiana. The Lib erty Herald says: "The Temperance lectures here on Saturday evening, the -4th of February, and Sabbath following, by liev. T. Harrison, Professor of Mental, Moral, and Natural Science, of Brookville College, were of ex traordinary merit, full of thought, science, and startling facts. His eloquence is pow erful; and, posseseinc a superior education -and knowledge, his lectures are not unly :fascinatiug to the ear, but highly instructive, and overwhelmingly convincing to the most incredulous minds. He will lecture here ag'iin shortly on the divinity of the Bible and the science of Geology, ihhowing by map charts, and evidence -carefully compiled from nature, the harniony and truth of one with the other. The public may look out for a feast cf good things." The Providence Jourual sayt: 'The tas--rtiiuony before the Select Committee of the Senate on the condition of the.

Indiana Building Stone. The following account of the rock of five Decatur County qirarrtes, from the State Geologist's account of a recent visit to that section, will be of interest "The building stons at the above quarries is a bluish gray, fine grained limestone, that my be quarried in slabs of aoy required length and breadth, ranging in thickness from two inches to thirty. The bedding face of the well defined and easily separated laryers isquite rough, being covered with irregular snaped shallow indentations, produced by oxne disturbing force while lytng at the bottom of the ocean in the condition of fine mud. It makes a handsome building stone, is very hard, and in all situatiins is one of the most durable rocks to be found in the

country. A number of fine churches iave bceo built (or are building) of this stone in Indianapolis. They present a hand some appearance, and will endure forages. The stone for the new court house in this city is obtained from these quarries. Flagging stone from Flat Rock is extensively used here for pavements, and on our most busy streets, where it has long been in use, the stone gives evidence of its good quality to resist abrading forces. 'The building stone is said to be found for fifteeu. miles along Flat Rock Creek. The quarries'range from ten to fifteen feet in' depth, of good building and flag stone, and this is overlaid by from six to thirteen feet of chert, aud ten to fifteon feet ol buff colored magnsian rock used for making lime. The chert or flint bed is in some places absent, and -its position occupied either by the flagstones or the magnesian limestone. All these rocks belong to the Niagara epoch of the upper silurian period, and in some places are rich in rare and beautiful fossite.' The Enquirer has gently receded from its bold insinuation that the somewhat famous "Buckeye" letter in the Iodiana-polis-Journal was written by a Republican. In fact, our Democratic contemporary admits that said letter was written by a prominent Democrat of Ohio, who had called and made himself known to its editor. The Indianapolis Sentinel not having arrived at that degree of enlightenment, the Journal thus writes to explain: We will say to the Sentinel that the letter was written by one of the leading Democrats of Ohio, who was a prominent delegate iu the New York Convention, where Hendricks friends slaughtered Pendleton, and that we have the promise from the same source of a history of the inside management that resulted in the betrayal of Mr. Pendleton. The 'chirrup of the Scutiuel that there are no heart burnings in the Democratic ranks is weak and 'thin,' and the eulogy it pronounces ou Mr. Hendricks' character wiil only serve to iuflame the growing hostility that is felt toward him by those who, like 'Buckeye,' believe him to be au 'American Talleyraud.' There is a fair prospect that Indiana will at last amend her divorce laws. The bill which passed the Senate of this State, some days ago, provides that no divorce shall be granted for acts committed in any other State, unless by the laws thereof such acts were ground of divorce, aud then only after a bona file residence of three yearin Indiana of the petitioner. Where the aets were committed in Indiana, one jcar's residence suffices, but it must be bona fide, and in the county where the suit is brought. Gov. Biker deserves credit for the part he has taken in urging this muchneeded reform. We do net despair of the establishment of a Republic in Fraace. It is probable tbat conservatives have been elected in many cases in preference to Republicans under the belief that they would be more likely to secure favorable terms of peace. It is evident that Prussia would be little inclined to treat with Republicans; and it is very likely that a majority of Republicans would give offense lol'iussia in their discussions. If the question whether an Orleans prince hall be made king or a republic be established shall be fairly submitted to the people, we shall hope for a result favorable to liberty. Whether the new soldiers' Ian 1 bill hap been framed in the interests of speculators is a question worth attending to. It is estimated that it will absorb 427,000,OCO acres an area thirteen times greater than that ofOhio. Biirfiy, the bill provides that any soldier or sailof that served ninety days this includes the hundred days' men called out in 1SG4 may enter 160 acres and may have i-ne year without personal settlement thereon in which to s-ell his claim to one who has no other homestead The track of the Tennessee was the a me as that of the Pacifie Mail steamers to As. pinwall, until near the point of her destination.

Misbehavior in Church. Mr. Editor 1 am one of those old fo gieawho beliefe that when we go to Church it should be to perform a solemn act of worship to God onr Heavenly Father, who is a Spirit, and requires that His creatures should worship Him in spirit and in truth. I was early taught to reverence the house of God and to regard it as -a holy place, and I never enter the sacred

precincts without thinking "God is in His Holy Temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him," and that now 1 am on "holy grouud it would seem fitting to take off my shoes." With such views and feelings I am restrained from doing any thing that would or could offend or annoy anyone in my vicinity, and this outward deportment is -good so far as it goes, and I would be glad if it were practiced more. It is bad enough to be only a hearer of the word and not a doer, but many show plainly that they are not in the church to be even hearers or reporters of the word. These remarks are called forth, Mr. Editor, by some -gross misconduct that I witnessed on csuoday -evening in our Church. I went feeling buoyant and hap py, thinking should hear a good sermon that would strengthen me to meet success fully the trials, temptations and responsibilities of the week, and to build me up in my most holy faith. But alas! how was I doomed to disappointment! Soon aftor taking my seat I observed a couple in a seat in advance, who eeemed to have a great deal to say to each other; but I thought it would end when services began . I know not how to designate them. To s:y lady and gentleman, would be but a burlesque. To say boy and girl, would not be suitable, as it was evident that they had arrived at years of discretion. So you will understand they were of opposite gendeis. During both prayers they leaned on the seat before them with faces close, looking in each others' eyes and talking all the time. Sometimes the feai iuine shoulders would be convulsed with laughter. So all my devotion was spoiled for that hour. I was so crowded that I could not kneel, so that I had a fair op portunity of studying the movements of the pair. Jow it strikes me that there should be some effort made to effect a reform. This thing has been going on lunge Dough. I have often heard the remark, that there is worse conduct in the Methodist Church than in any other. I presume the youngsters are not properly taught at home; and if not, it is high time they bo instructed from the. pulpit. A word to the wise is sufficient. An Aggrieved !c Afflicted Member. Brookville, Feb. 20, 1871. Change cf Venue Granted McGehan and Denied the Other Defendants. Special dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette. Hamilton, O. February 17. Judge Gilmore, in the case of the five persons charged with the murder of Thomas Meyers, rendered his decision to day on the motion for a change of venue. In reference to four of them, the Judge held that there was not such a prejudice existing against them as would operate to prevent a fair and impartial trial. The motion was accordingly overruled. The case Of McGrehan stood, however, on different grounds. In the opinion of the Court the affidavits that had been made, and the general tenor of the newspaper atticles that had been produced, showed that there was a strong sentiment against the prisoner. The prejudice was not the result alone of the conviction that prevailed with reference to his alleged complicity in the murder of Meyers, but also of the impression that he had been engaged in other crimes. The evidence brought be fore the Judge showed a determination to convict McGehan without a parallel in his experience. The Court was accordingly of the opinion that a fair and impartial trial could not be had in this county, and a change of venue was, therefore, granted to Hamilton county. Issue Joined. Senator Morton's speech., of whioh we gave an extetided abstract yesterday, is universally regarded as a powerful exposition ot the leiding issues on which the next Presidential cauvass is to turn. Basing his remarks upou the action of the Indiana Legislature in voting to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment, the Senator showed that this proceeding in itself a mere idle farce was in accord with the action of the Democi atic party throughout the country, and rightly represented what they wuuld seek in earnest to do should they come into power. .Now, as when tbey voted fox Seymour aod Blair on a revolutionary platform, the Democracy are everywhere demonstrating their purpose to overturn all the Reconstruction legislation, and to place their seal of approbation upon secessionist and rebellion by removing every mark of reprobation directly or indirectly placed by legal enactment upon the leaders in the imrueastir.-ihlt j crime which deluged our land in blood. I'o maintain the invalidity of the Fifteenth Ameudmeut logically includes a repudiation if the two which preceded it; aod with the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments anouled, whether by the revolutionary violence defiantly invoked by Bl air in his Brodhead letter, or by some other process less directly savoring cf barbarism, Slavery is again restored, the old Bourbon regime of Pieice, Buchanan, Jeff. Datis and Taney wilt be testored, and all that was accomplished by the sup pression ot the rebellion will be worse than lost. Cincinnati Chronicle.

GRtAT SPEECH BY SENATOR MOR

TON. The Democratic Senators Excited. Special Dispatch to Sie Chronicle.J I WAsmNOloS, February 15. 3ov. Morton, to-day, called tip the resolutions of the Indiana Legislature nullifying the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the flnited States, and proceeded to make a speech showing the position ot the JJemocratic party relative to the new amendments to the Constitution. He argued that the objection of tbe Democrats to the Fifteenth Amendment, to-wit, that it was declared adopted before certa-in of tbe Southern States were represented to Congress, would apply with equal force to the Fourteenth Amendment. The trouble with the Democratic party, he said was that they failed to see the wrongfulness of the rebellion. Hence they refused to admit that the rebel States had not the same rights politically as the loyal States. He held that the action of Indiana in nullifying the amendment does not amount to anything, in point of law. It only shows the purpose of the Democracy. He argued that it is impossible for any State to nullify an amendment to the Constitu tion afteT it has been ratified by threennarters of the States. The Democratic majority in the legislature oc iiiuuud, and their action relative to this amendment, does not, in the opinion of Oov. Morton, represent the views of the people of that State. The issue tendered by the Democratic party is, that it proposes to accept nothing that-has been done in the way of reconstruction; it has not only de.laro, ttirmivh all its conventions. State . . . . ... p t J : . . . and national, that the reconstruction acts of 18G7 were unconstitutional and void, but it now asserts that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments are nullities, aud will he by it disregarded when it comes into power. Men of all parties who seek repose for the country are notified that the programme of the Democratc party is revolution and retrogression. Morton charged that the adoption of the amendnients to the Cous.itu ioa was strongly opposed by the Democratic party in and out of Congress; that the Democratic party everywhere denied to Congress the right to require the laie rebel Spates to ratify amendments as a condition to their resto ration; that no Democaatie convention, Legislature or leading statesman, so far as he knew, has accepted, or admitted, the validity of the amendment. Governor Morton then addueed as evidence the cases of Kentucky, California and Indiana, where Democratic Legislatures had sought to nullify the amendments to the Constitution, "lie closed as follows: 'When we look at the reign of violence in the South, the bitter and bloody persecution of men for opinion's sake, and at the ominous cloud of nullification which makes the political horizon black, who will dare to say that the mission of ihe Republican party his been performed?' Senator Morton's speech produced a profound sensation among the Senators on both tides of the Chamber. The Democrats were stirred to a great pitch of excitement at having revolution and retrogression eharged upon their party, and Thurman, Blair and Bayard all arose at once to reply. Thurman was recoguizsd by the Chair. Mr. Mertod's speech -is reeosnked as the opening gun of the campaign of 1SJ2, ou the Republican side. Dramatic Association at Laurel. Laurel, Feb ,21, 1871. ' Mr. Bingham, Dca- Sir: Last evening I had the extreme pleasure of attending our Dramatic Association's rehearsal of its initial performance at Gifford's Hall, and I can but say in praise of the management that through their untiring efforts they have succeeded in opening to the public one of the prettiest Hal's in the State. The main feature is the handsome drop curtain designed and painted by Mr. D. P. Humphrey and daughter, scenic ar tists of rare ability. Tli"-. together with stage effects, &c, go far town-Js making it an imposing temple of the Muses. The 'dtrformance which is to take plsce Thursday evening, March 2, is to include both the legi imate and Ethiopian drama. The different roles will be well sustained in each, and -the female chara-cte's, usually a weak point in amateur performance, I am glad to say will be well rendered in this. After mature deliberation tlte management has concluded to place the admission fee at 25 cts. an4. reserved seats 35 cts , thereby hoping to secure for themselves a large and appreciative audience. And if talent be a criterion, the house will be filled to oveiflowiug. More anon from '.'A Critic.' I ,C & L. R P.. Henry C.'LorJ wis out a short time ago, in the Commercial, in a twelve column reply to he report made to the stockholders of this Road, at the Morris meetting, recently, in which he says that the report is not altogether true, and does not fairly represent tbe past and present cenditien of the Road. Our readers will remember seeing a synopsis of that report iu these columns. It will certainly take pretty tall climbing to get overits facts and Mr Lord evidently appreciates this, if we may judge from the length of this reply. There is enc fact that the stocW-hol Jers will not be argued out of: that at one period it was a paying Road, but of late years it has paid no dividends, but has had to borrow mon ey with which to pay the interest due its bond-holders. It is .charged by some of eur papers, that tribute has been levied upon tbe entire length of the line, for the sole beneat of Ciuciunati. However this be, it is quite certain that the present management shows more regard for'Way' interests than I has ever previously been done. Greeusuurg Standard. Weil Done.

A Double Barreled Court.

A novel case of conflicting jurisdiction arose in court laatt Wednesday morning. Judge Berkshire had arrived the previous afternoon to hold a special term of the Circuit Court to try the case of State ex rel. MoCarty vs. Pepper et al.f and had opened his special term and transacted some business. Before this, however, Judge Hanna bad granted a uiotioo made in the regular term, Tuesday, by defendants, to name another special Judge to try the case, and had appointed Judge Carter for that purpose. This motion was based on the facts that the term of office of Judge Lamb, who had appointed Judge Berkshire to hold his special term, had expired, and also that Jndge Berkshire's term of ffffice had expired and he had been re-elected Bince his appointment as special Judge, fie was convinced that these facts did not divest his jurisdiction, and accordingly had the Sheriff open the special term Wednesday morning in the court-room where Judge Hanna was holding; the regular term, and expressed his intention of going on with bis court whenever he could get the Clerk and the other officers, which he could not well do while the other court was in session and claiming their services. The defendants claimed that Judge Carter alone had a right to try the case, while the plaintiff declined recognizing that state of affairs and the claim of J udge Berkshire. There was considerable parleying, which was interesting and amusing to the bystanders. It was ended by Jude Carter declining to act, because, as he said, prob ablv while he was holding court in oue end of the house with the defendants' attor neys, Judge Berkshire would have another court at the other eud with the plaintiff s attorneys, trving the same case. The parties fiually agreed to postpone the cise and have it tried befots Judge Carter, in Franklin County, in April. "ilisiug Sun Recorder. . The Seymour, Sandusky and Evansville Railroad.
