THE LEGISLATURE. Routine Business in tbe Senate—The Douse Not in Session. The session was opened with prayer by Rev. A. Begsonies, of St. John’s Catholic
church.
Mr. Sarnighausen, from the special committee to which was referred a special message from bis excellency, the governor, recommending the sale of University parkin the city of Indianapolis, being the square bounded by Meridian, New York, Pennsylvania and Vermont streets, and appropriating the proceeds thereof to the support of tbe Indiana State university, in lieu of the usual appropriation from the general state treasury, reported as the opinion of the committee, that at the present time it is inexpedient either to sell or authorize the sale of said parcel of ground. Concurred in. Mr. Foster offered the following: Rosolved, That a committee of three senators be appointed by tbe president of the senate instanter whose duty it shall be to repair immediately to the office of Journal printlug company, in this city, to ascertain the amount of printing done by order of the senate the present session, and the cost thereof and report ths same to this body as soon aa such information can be obtained. Mr. Harris desired the author to explain the intent of the resolution. This printing is being done by the Journal company under a contract with the printing bureau. Mr. Foster was satisfied the senate was having entirely too much printing done, and that when senators are informed of the amount of printing ordered and its cost, they will be astonished. There can certainly be nothing wrong in ascertaining the amount of work ordered and the probable cost, and having it brought to the attention of the
senate.
The resolution was adopted. Subseouently the lieutenant governor makes ine committee to consist of Messrs. Foster, Woollen and Dice. K«W PROPOSITIONS. Bills for acta were introduced, read the first time and severally referred to appropriate committees as follows: By Mr. Fowler, [s. 247] to divide the state into congressional districts.

Scott of Vigo, and Murray Briggs of Sullivan, till December 20, 1881; and. On motion of Mr. Sarnighausen, these nominations were confirmed by the senate. The remainder of the session was occupied in reading bills the second time.
THE SOLDIERS’ HOME. The Way the Architect was Treated—The Damaging Chargee He Afakas—Attempts te Bulldoze Him. Saturday morning Mr. Isaac Taylor filed his bill with tbe house committee oh accounts and claims for tha balance of $518, due him as architect and superintendent of tbe Soldiers’ Home. His experience with the trustees of that institution has not been of the most satisfactory character. When the old hotel burned, shortly after the first new building was erected, the trustees directed him to prepare plans in detail for a new building They asked him to hurry them up, as the legislature was about to visit the home, and they (the trustees) desired to have them ready to explain to the ^ members on on the ground. Mr. Taylor, by employing extra assistants, got up the plans in time, and when the legislature visited Knightstown they were inspected and gave satisfaction. Afterwards, however, the soldiers were transferred to the National Home at Dayton, and the necessity for an additiona building no longer existed. The trustees calmly ignored Mr. Taylor’s bill for the plans, and he has never received a cent for his work. When settling for the building that was destroyed in 1877 the trustees refused to pay their architect for a number of expenses he had incurred in the work, pleading that he “had received enough.” There was no defense set up then, as there was more recently, that they did not fairly owe him the money under the contract, but “he had been paid enough.” That wasn’t the view the trustees took of their own services however. In his “explanation” Saturday. Dr. Hannaman said that the exposure of the illegal grab of the trustees was inspired by the architect. He knew that was not the truth. That very day Mr. Taylor had been in consultation with tbe trustees at Mr. Sanford’s room in the Bates house, endeavoring to effect a compromise of his claim, and an understanding had almost been reached. He left there with a promise from Mr. Sanford that Dr. Hannaman would call upon him the next day, when, as he told a News reporter Saturday afternoon, he fully expected that an amicable settlement would be made. That very afternoon the account of the doings of the trustees appeared in The News, and then “his*fat was all in ths fire.” Knowing these facts, how much honesty did Dr. Hannaman display in charging the publication to the hostility of Mr.
Tavlor?
That bill allowance to Mr. Taylor for arbitrating the tos^on the home by fire in September, 1877, shows up the doctor in a worse light than anything else. Mr. Taylor charged $36, the same amount that CoL Wheatly received from the insurance companies. ' He gave the bill to Dr. Hannaman, for presentation to the board. When the doctor returned to this city he handed Mr. Taylor $10, saying that the board thought that sum was about right. And yet Dr. Hannaman receipted for $36, the full amount asked by the architect. Fn view of these facts, how much weight ought the explanar tion to have with the public? It may be remarked from the size of his allowance, that Mr. Ellison Williams, the resident member of the board of trustees, didn’t stand an even show with the other two members of the board in “greasing a fat hog” at the expense of the state. But Mr. Williams has nol allowed his interests to suffer any because of his connection with the board. Mr. Williams is partner in a dry goods bouse at Knightstown, and the reports of the institution for the past three years show that the firms of Williams k Kerwood and Williams & Hatfield have furnished dry goods and clothing to the home to the value of $2,049.32.

THE CIPHERS. - _ Rag- of the ] Washington). January 29.—The Potter (SoaMffiittee to-day began the investigation of the ofpher telegram. Clarence Carey, attorney for Ike Western Uniow Telegraph company, testified that certain telegrams were placed id hi* charge when It was proposed to issue subpoenas for their production before tbe investigating committee. The' purpose of placing, ths telegrams in his poaseanon was to avoid, if possible, Heir delivery for public inspection. It was thought a subpoena would not be issued to him owing to bts position. Qt was finally however, directed by the execative. committee to deliver the messages to Captain Whitney, manager of the United States telegraph company at Washington. Instructions with regard to picking out dispatches were to take aU of a political character, ths collection when first made being for the sole purpose of getting them out of the way of a subpoena. Floyd Grant, who made the selection of the dispatches in New York, said he thought of the 29,000 about 300 were in cipher. The manager of the Westem Union telegraph company at Washington, in compliance with the request by Potter, produced a schedule showing over 300 telegrams delivered to Morrison. The commimioaera thought Morrison returned the dispatches. Other schedules were produced showing various telegrams delivered to the senate committtee on privileges and elections. These were delivered in two different packages, wh§n the trunk was returned to witness schedules previously prepared were not verified by the contents of the trunk, It being immediately shipped to New York, per order of President Orton, Van Horne gave a verbal order in his (Whitney’sjoffice to collect all political telegrams from files and forward them to •New York. By Hiscock, laughingly—No on one on this side entertaios the idea that ths trunk was rifled by the Morrison committee, Mr. Chairman." Mr. Morrison—It has been stated that ’ the trunk was not in the possession of the Morrison committee. When it comes to that point th* laugh will be nearer home. Mr. Reed, sarcastically, “All right, go ahead; we await the result in fear aad trembling.” James O. Green testified to carrying the entire contents of the trunk containing telegrams as received from Washington.. McMahon asked the witness if he knew anything of any< telegrams being kept back from those furnished in compliance with the subpoenas of tbe committees. Witness said he knew of some telegraphic correspondence being collected prior to the issue of subpoenas, between James N. Tyner and John W. Foster, the latter of Indianapolis, at the request of President Orton, Dr. Fulton Suspended. New York, September 27.—The Baptist ministers bad a strong meeting today, owing to the interpolation of words in th* minutes by the clerk Dr, Fulton using language which th* moderator pronounced unbecoming personalities, and refusing to take bis seat.

Mr. Willard, chairman of th* committee to investigate the state house commissioners, has announced that the committee will begin work Monday of next week, at the Grand hotel. , The committee on fees and salaries bar* prepared a bill which will be introduced by Mr. Willard, chairman. It provides for the payment of all county officers by salaries out of a fund to be established from the feee paid into the officea. The fee bill now in force ia continued, and th*. excess of payments to tbe officers as to be covered into the treasury. The saiartes are graded by population. In this county, the clerk is to receive $2,100, and ti allowed ten deputies at $000 each; the sheriff $2,100 and fire deputies; the other officers fire deputies each, and salaries ranging from $1,000 up to ths one named. Mr. Willard thinks the bill ’ will pass. If it does there will be an end to record keeping in this county. The sheriff, for instance, could no more transact the business of his office with" five deputies, than the author of th* bill could tell the truth about Dan Yoorhess In his nominating speech.
