TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 9.
Democratic state Central Committee. At a meeting of the Democratic State Central Committee of Indiana, held at Indianapolis on the 8th day of January, 1866, the following members from the various Districts answered to their names as called: 2. L*V1 Spauks, of Clark. 3. Samuel II. Bcskirk, of Monroe. 4. Jas. B. Foley, of Decatur. 5. E. Malone, of "Wayne. 6. Wm. Henderson and J. J. Binoham, of Marion. 7. William M. Franklin, of Owen. 8. J. C. Applegate, of Carroll. 9. N. 0. Ross, of Miami. Judge Applegate, of Carroll, offered the following resolution: litsolved, That the Democracy of Indiana be requested to elect Delegates to a Convention to be held at INDIAN AFoUS. ON THURSDAY, THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF MARCH, 1806, for the purpose of giving expression to their sentiments in regard to the present eondition of t he country, and to nominate oflfcers of State to be supported at the ensuing October election. This resolution, after being discussed, was unanimously adopted. Mr. Busk irk, of Monroe, proposed the fbl. lowing, which was unanimously adoped: Resolved, That the representation in the Convention be based upon the vote given for Doctor Athon, the Democratic candidate for Secretary of State, in 1862, and that each county be entitled to one delegate for every one hundred ami Jifty votes so cast.and one delegate for every fraction of seventy-live votes and over. On motion of Mr. Henderson, it was Resolved, That the Democracy and Conservative men of Indiana bo requested to meet in Convention, on Saturday, the 3d day of March, 1866, at the county seat of each county, to select delegates to the Convention of the loth of March. The Committee then adjourned, to meet on Tuesday evening, the 13th of March, at seven o’clock. J. J. Bingham, Chairman. Amendment to tlie Constitution Touching Equal Representation In the Senate. As created by our fathers, the United States Government was a union of separate States in their State capacities. It was a federal union; net a consolidated union. Tho General Government possessed only the powers granted to It; tho States in their capacities as such and Hie people retained all the residue. We now propose to mention two of the peculiarities of our General Government which prove it to be a confederation, not a consolidation. 1. Each Slate lias an equal representation in the Senate. Delaware and Rhode Island have each two Senators, and New York and Virginia have each no more. The vote of the States in the Senate is severally equal, because each is a State, was, at the formation of the Constitution, a sovereign State; and, hence, as independent States, as sovereigns, each was equal to the other—the sorerei'pafy of each was equal, and the Senators of each represented that sovereignty; and while the Senate represented the several State sovereignties,' the House represented the several peoples of the independent States. This is manifest from the fact that the voters of each State elected tbe representatives of each State; and the ratio of representation was established between the States as such, and no fraction of people was passed over from one State to another, nor were there any floating members, ns there are between counties, In a State. Each State, as a separate sovereignty, elected the representatives to which the State was entitled, to represent the people of the State ns a distinct peopl^, a distinct government, in the Federal Union. The Union was formed, then, by States, with reserved State lights; but this doctrine is now claimed to have been extinguished; and the State right feature of the Union to be, therefore, now obliterated. Now, Congress can substitute National for State banks, and exempt them from State taxation. Now, Congress can substitute National railroads for State railroads, and exempt them from State taxation. Now, Congress can assume the government of the negroes in a State. Now, Indeed, the doctrine of the party in power is that Congress can do what it pleases in a State, and the State Is helpless; that the doctrine of State rights is extinguished. Of course, then, the General Government is a consolidated despotism. This being so, we think, to be consistent, the Republicans, in amending the Constitution so as to base representation on voters, should embrace the Senate, as well as the House, in the amendment. The doctrine of State Sovereignty, of State Rights, is substituted by the doctrine of consolidated sovereign power. Then, why keep up the image of State Sovereignty in the Senate, when the real body and soul of it has been, as the Republicans assert, slain by the sword. The reason why it is done is plain. It is because the Republicans, all over the Union, arc carried in tlie pockets of the representatives from New England; and that little corner of the Union, with less than double the population of Indiana, has twelve Senators to vote a cotton tariff on to us, while we have but two to vote against it, even If they had independence enough to do it, which Republican Senators have not, and never will have. Democratic Senators have. Then, when the amendment is proposed to base representation on voters, let it include the Senate also. As the Republicans have gone so far in that way, they may as well tumble the old Constitution and Union entirely down to the dust, while they are tinkering at them. ^ ^ ^ Tlie Hypocrite. The Albany Argus makes the election of Speaker Tremaine to preside over the New York Assembly the occasion of tho repnbllcaUion of his speech for the dissolution of the Union, and, when speaking of the war, already begun, the present speaker said: “I am resolved to resist it here and to resist it everywhere—and if that Is treason make the most of it.” And when, too, he added, in the same speech, and at the State capital: “ If, after all negotiations, we And that we have reached that point we of the North can no longer say to our brethren of the South, nor the South to the Norlh, in the language of Ruth to Naomi: ‘Whither thon goest I will

(Applause. ¥’ _ Internal Revenue. Our business men arc invoicing and taking account of profit and loss. It is likely to turn out, we Uffhk, that while as much business has been done during tbe 1 yfear as was done the year before, so that the monthly per cent, on ■ales, paid into the Government has been large; yet* as business has been don* en a felling market, rather than a rising, the income of the year, on which the per cent, to the Government Is paid, will be very much less than in the former year. And we imagine that, for the coming year, the income will be still less than it has been in the last. DclinqsMiat Elat It is alarming to behold the lists of delinquent taxes published in the different county papers of the State. It shows a gloomy pecuniary condition of the people cow; and the prospect for a worse one next year Is lamentable. But if people will dance, they muat pay the fiddler.

—Some weeks ago a man named James Bennett, pretending to hail from Kentucky, made his advent in our midst with a grand fionrish, bargained for and purchased on liberal terms a part of the “ Harrison Place,” started to make extensive alterations in the dwelling and outhouses, purchased wall-paper on credit, borrowed *150 from a young merchant, courted a made love to several young ladles, one of them a dashing, gay widow, whose watch he occasionally borrowed to “ cut a swell”—we don’t know whether or not he forgot to return it—and at last wound up his short but brilliant career by suddenly vamoosing, leaving all parties with whom h« had dealings sadly in the lurch. Bennett was in Evansville a day ortwo after his departure, where he boasted of his purchase of property hsre, and M popped the question ” to his landlady, but wxa rejected. He left the latter place between two days, and simultaneously with hit daparture, hit landlady found that she had been mysteriously relieved of $150. This Bennett is about forty-eight years old, red face, stout built and sandy hair. He assumes very sanctified, serious airs. Look out

Heeling of SUate Central Committee-
State Convention-
The State Central Committee met In this city on yesterday. The proceedings appear in this paper. We had the pleasure of being present daring a portion of the session. Quite a number of prominent Democrats from different parts of the State were in attendance. The utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed; excellent speeches were made, and ftill confidence of success expressed. *A11 felt, deeply felt the outrages that had been perpetrated on the ballot box, ;in past elections, by the frauds and violcnoc of the party in power, by which it hod usurped authority; all felt, and deeply, the danger to our free Institutions from its unblushing corruption, extravagance, and recklesanees of constitutional faith and obligation; all felt tbs absolute necessity for the country’s salvation, of rescuing Administration from the grasp of that party. Let the people now go to work. All is not yet lost. Let us bring forward honest men and place them in power, that the people may once more have the happiness of living under an economical administration, which shall respect the Constitution and laws, practice virtue, and, by Its example, frown down corruption and licentiousness, banish.crlmej

pamphlet, but recently published, entitle “ The Growth of NewYork.” From this pai phlet we learn that a comparative analysis the census returns of the United 8tat< France and Great Britain, shows to be oa flxbu a law In those nations as in this—that population during the present century has accumulated more rapidly in cities than in the conn-' try at large, and in certain great central cities than in the cities at large. The growth of population during the last forty years in the United States, Great Britain and France, from 1820 to 1860, is shown to be respectfully as follows:
1820. 1860.
United States 9,618,191 31,445,060 France 30,461,875 86,755,871 Great Britain *0,892,670 *8,887,597 1. England and Wales 11,999.822 29,061,725 2. Scotland 2,091,521 3J»1^29 3. Ireland 6,801,827 6,764,548 Dividing these millions Into city and country population, and the growth of population during the same forty years, outside of the principal cities of Great Britain, viz: London, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Bristol, Birmingham, Glasgow and Dublin; and In France, outside of Paris; and in the United States, outside of its fifty principal cities, Is shown to be respectively as fellows:
1820. 1860.
In Great Britain 18,641,733 23,786,406 In France 29,701,875 86,088,080 In United States 9,068,181 27,864,287 Whereas, the growth of population during the same forty yean In the right above named principal cities of Great Britain, in the capital city of France, and in the fifty chief cities of the United States, is shown to be as follows:
1820. 1890.
Great Britain’s eight cities .2,250,987 5,151,192 France's Capital city 760,000 1,667,841 United States’ fifty cities.... 570,010 4,090,793 In each of the above tables the superior rapid growth of populttion in the United States over that in France and Gheat Britain, whether compared in the aggregate, in ths country, or in the city papulation, standi out in astonishing figures; but what we wish our readers to observe is, that in ail three the some uniformity of comparative Increase, which we call law, steadily holds. The cities ontstrip the country outside of the cities. The tables show precisely by how much; but speaking roundly, in Great Britain the increase ratio of the country population Is about four to five and a half, while of the city population it Is four to nine. In France the increase ratio of the country population ia four to lew than five, while of the population of Paris it ia four to almost nine. In the United States the increase ratio of the country population for the same period, although rising to fonr to twelve,!* likewise outstrip net! by the increase ratio of the population in cities, which is four to nearly twenty-
nine.
But not only do cities outstrip the country in their growth, the grest cities outstrip the smaller cities. In great Britaia, Manchester*
aggregate population
from 53,066, in 1820. to 1.651,075 in 1860. London in 1820 had l,3i8,947 inhabitants; the same ratio of increase as those five cities hsve enjoyed would have given her, in 1860, about two and a quarter millions, but she has gone beyond that mark by half a million, just enough to make a city the size of Manchester, the next largest in the kingdom, and in 1860 hod a pop-
ulation ot over 2,15o,ooo.
Glasgow, the chief city of Scotland, has increased three-fold in the same period, far surpassing rivals, while the country has Increased fifty per cent. Dublin has arisen from 186,000 to 250,000 steadily, despite the fluctuations of population from emigration and other causes, and the actual decrease, in Ireland and in some of the other cities. Paris has already been
mentioned.
~~ Bn* in the United States this uniformly more rapid concentration of population In the great central cities than in the cities at large, U yet more strikingly manifest as m»y be shown comifendiously by the following table: 1820. 1800. Forty-eight principal cities, 439,129 8,000,878 Seven large cities 280,304 1,452,521 The metropolis of New York Brooklyn, Williamsburgh Jersey City, etc. 130,881 140,410 The increase ratio of the forty-eight prind pal cities Is 4 to 27; of the seven larger cities 4 to 22: while of the metropolis the increase ratio outstrips that of her principal rivals and of their aggregate, being 4 to 34. The excew in favor of New York is still greater if ito rate be compared with that of the State, and that of the other cities of that State.

This wonderful growth of cities Is a growlt of consumers. They produce none of the 1m mediate necessaries of life. (Aside from the effects of four year*’ disastrous war) the country also has advanced in population and production; but, as shown, is nothing like the
same ratio that the cities have.
The Important information that it U desirable to obtain, but which we have not at hand, is, the exact relation between production and consumption, showing the difference in per. cent that one has gained upon and kept in advance of the other. Demand and supply is the great barometer of trade. Prices go up or down aa the one or tbe other is Increased or diminished. From this foot, it follows, as a necessary consequence, that the general tendency of prices for all the products of the sell has been and must continue to be in the a»> cending scale; unless some agency—sueh aa the application of mechanical skill in agricultural pursuits, by the Introduction oflsborsaving machines, which have made such won-

We learn from the Detroit Free Press that Thuraday last a most horrid, cold-bloodsd and diabolical murder was committed near Conner’s Creek, in the township ofGroaoe Point, Michigan. The details are almost too horrible to be told; words, indeed, are too tame to describe tbe deed in its fiendish and barbarous atrocity. The account states that the victim was Mrs. William Lynch, who waa living with her husband and five children. She was murdered by a blow from an ox In the hands
of her own di the most ten

A Washington correspondent, in alluding to tbe exclusion of Senators Saulsbury, of Delaware, and McDougal, of California, from tbe standing committees of the Senate, on tbe pretext .of their habitual Intemperance,
says:
But why suspend the ax of reform when the work la but half accomplished? Why make invidious distinctions by reproving McDougal and Saulsbuiy for a fault that exists to a greater extent in the son-in-law of the Chief Justice of the United States—a title by which one of tbe Rhode Island Senators is much better
known than as simple Mr. Sprague. It la a

The brig Q. M. Carver, Captain Treat, from Georgetown, South Carolina, with lumber for Searsport, was dismasted and filled with water in a gale on the 21st ult. On the 81st ult., she was fallen In with seventy miles from Cape Ann, by the schooner Emma, and the crew taken off, after having been nine days on the wreck, without food or water. Ota man was killed when the masts went over, and the steward died on tbe 80th of starvation, and when rescued the crew were living on hie body. The survivors were landed at Gloucester. The C. M. CUrver registered one hundred and seventy-five tons; was built as Bangor in 1860,^nd nailed from that port.—iVirio A LETTER from a commercial house, dated Mexico City, December 17, says that three loans put npop the market since the establishment of the Empire, have burdened tbe nation with a new debt of nearly $80,000,000. Of this sum only about $8,000,000 have been used for the public service. In consequence of this, the Finance Commission in Paris has, at the disposition of Maximilian, only sufficient to meet expenses during the month of January. Artemus Ward tolls a good story concerning the production of the Lady of Ljonn at But Lake City theater: “ An aged Mormon arose
five hours in a and want ont with his tweetf-four wives, onto one of oar grily stating that he wouldn’t sit and see a -xx pj^ W here a man made such a cussed fuss
