INDIANA LEmsi.ATlME.

Ornitfmi aid curtaihrsut rf thin rff-ort for uanl of f pace in these Cf.4"i nppfur in an appendix to Volume XXII of the Uretisr Legxitathe Reports in ens ATE. Tncr.tPAY, Jan. 2. lfrS5 10:30 a. m. Lieutenant Governor MaN'iON': The hoar lor toe special order having arrived, the Senate will proceed to tbe ccDtidtratioa of bill 6 to provide for tfce cl!ing ot a Constitutional Convention. Mr. FOULKE: I move that the 8ente substitute the minority lor the majority report cd concur In th roort of the minority of the Committee on the Jndiciary. It we adopted as rule by the Judiciary C.ai'nt1 the facilitation ol it? business tb 4 b ore the details of a bill should be cctiderti tfce ccmraitt wonld pas npon ibi quettien as to whether it wonld favor tbe general principle or Idea en. braced in the measure. It It decided adverse!, the recommendation to the Seaate shotld be that the bill lie on tbe table or te indefinitely postponed without farther difcu-tion of the biil. That was the course which was taken in regard to this bill. The advisability as to the general provisions or x-iamte detail? of the bill were not disLsd; and, as far a? the question of derails i concerned, I think tbern would be little tnticulty about them, and I venture to say th-v could be arranged satisfactorily to alt, rrovided the principle of tbe tril was suvsfactory. I have do special desire that the bill shall be passed as it stands, provided tbe principle be accepted. The present Constitution was adopted under the provisions of a law of 1841, which required that the question as to whether a Corstitution&l Contention should be called or not mtrst first be submitted to a vote of the people. That was done, tbe people so decided, and the convention was called. This bill provides for calling the convention at tr.f. It is substantially tbe same as the re introduced on this fioor four years ao by the then Senator from Jackson Jaaoa 15. lirownl and the same in terms as the one b;ongbt into the Senate in pursuance of the r commendation of the present Governor of Jtd'anft Isaac P Gray.) And the reasons wit I insist that this Generali Assembly ' luail call a Constitutional Convention are in many instance tbe same as his. In Governor Uraj'a message to the General Assembly he ssjs: "It is nearly thirty ears since the present Constitution of th Srat was adopted, etc". See Brevier Reports, vol. xiz, ps 15 Tüll oiil provides that tbe conventioa shall consist of 103 members. That was a provision In the bill as originally introduced oy the Senator froxu Jackson four vearj ago Mr. Crown bnt it was amended so that the number sbculd he bat fifty one clearer from eac of the Senatorial Districts of the State. If this Assembly should desire that amendment to tMs bill, hi far as the details are concerned there will be no question. Hut, sir, the time has come for a cew Constitution, and it is upon tbat principle that these committee reports are presented to tbe Senate. And I wculd like to cell the attention of the Senate to one of the highest authorities on the question of constitutional la sr. at least to gentlemen on the other side of tbe House, tbat we have In American history to the words cf Thomas Jeffersoa, in a letter to amnel Kerchival, dated July 12, 1816, in relation to a Constitution for the Stat of Virginia. Mr. Jefferson rays Head. Now, etr, the State of Indiana 1 far outgrown the present Constitution, - n'ch was established more than thirty ytara ago. During that time tbe prosperity of the State has been EcniethiDg almost unrivalled. As the Senator from Jackson remarked, in presentir c bis Constitutional Convention bill four 2irs ego Read, commencing at the top O; j ive 120, voi. xix , Brevier It-ports. J cah 1 he attention of Senate to the worda of Fnatcr Brown at the time he presented this bill, in which he says: "The present Constitution wm adopted at a time when." etc. See lrvier Reports, vol, xix.. p. 125 The provision in our Constitution in regard to legislative machinery is one which should be radically amended. We have every two years a meeting of the General Assembly, and so great is the dissatisfaction of the people that the convening of the General Assembly is looked upon with regret, and its adjournment is treated as a matter of congratulation. So great is the dread that unwholesome laws may be created at the biennial sessions of our Legislature that the people are glad when they see us go home, it was that general fear that the Legislature wonld unsettle the laws which led to the introduction in the present Constition of the prov'sion that we should meet only once in two years, and hall only remain in session but sixty days. The framers of the Constitution were afraid to let uc sit as long as we wished or thought it necessary, but required we Bhould go home at the eid of eixy days whether we passed the legislation necessary or not It was thought tbe danger of enacting bad laws was so much greater it was decided we most meet but once In two years, and thn only sit sixty days. The possibilities .of evils by the General Assembly ought to be granted without unnecessarily crippling jfteir possibilities for good. It a court ot justice could not be relied upon toe equitable decisions, would we say it woull be a proper remdy to limit its sittings to once every two years and provide it shall only sit fr sixty days? Could not as much evil be d re in sixty days as in two years? The true way is to pass such regulations as will enable ns to properly cona. der the bills presented to us, rather than tbat we should adjourn and go heme without properly considering the measures presented. It is utterly impossible to sec are cefuland heslthful legislation in the time rrescribed. The Judiciary Committeehas been in session four or more evening until midEight, and its members know it is not possible to foresee expenses likely to arise, or to provide against necessary evils of proposed laws, as well as te proteet the evils which demand relief from legislation. There are bills before the Senate now, of which we do not know whether they would be productive of more barm than good. We vote for bills pushed hurriedly through sometimes tenfold wem than the evil we hoped 13 reacedy. This is a sad commentary npon onr mode of legislation, but bow can it be otberie whn hundreds of bills are introdrced,someof them over 100 pages long. II w under the sun can we compare in tbe mty days' limit each one of these bills with fr ceding legislation, and compare e.h c I tie therein with existing etatntes. Uadr the circumstances how can we pass bills wh'cb hall give satisfaction io ths people at 1' ? A good part of this session will bs 1-ctd to the repeal of laws which previoas L. lidatures have passed. Tbere ought to bs eneixeansof correcting this The way is vn to limit the sessions of the Legislature. Biennial sextons may be frequent ecougb. There should be a provision in the organic law that no law can be p used or even proposed for our consideration, until it is so published, that any and every one who has rights to protect agaimt it. or Is interred therein, can in some manner be heard by members of the General Assembly. As nw, when it comes to legislation, it is all ex parte. The promoter of a bill shows his side, but the other side is not presented. We do the best we can. We jau the bill, and in a year or two we repeal

it. Our legislation ibo:ld rot flnctoate r.ickwards and forstt i:t h pudnluin. We should act right in the rir.t Uc; btu we ca't get right in rr-. Cr-. t,:ace until everybody is bf ard. Th;re is a provision ia tbe Constitution whicn requires that bills shall be read three Eeveral times oi three several days. No one can know the contents ol a 'bill on the first reading except the author, or whoever may have seen it previously. On the second reading of a bill but little more attention, if any. Is paid to it. If the bill is printed, that is some security, and we are apt thn to know eome thing about it be'ore it con)s tn a fin! vote. There ougt to be so-e tvav of pubIbhingto tbe people ad proposed legislation before its ena tment. Jest that tbat thing i? done to da in thf Parliament of Great Britain. No bill can be iotrodaceJ alfectirg the cr.nc;al fnterests of the cjuntry before it is publ'sbecl in hat ia called "public ore'erb." Three week before the session o' Parliament such bills must there te presented. And any person having an interest in these bills is entitled to be hearc. The result is. aftf r hearing both sides, members can jedge ct tbe merits of tbe measure propofed as to w Lien is best. Every ooe knows we can not dj our work pro perl 7 in sixty days, and it is not right to limit our capacity for usefulness by prescribing a sixty days' session. S3metims a bill effecting important interests will bs introduced, read three tines on ore day, and passed under a suspension of the mler, and no one having any interest edverse to the bill kLows anything about it until it becomes a law of the fctti. There ooht to be more carfnl deliberation In the Srs: p!a?e. I'nder the provisions of our present Constitution every idiot and every insane man, ai d nn that are neither able to read nor wtite, and men who ran not reason intelligently ujon any subject, can be brought in w0cs to the polls and voted at any general election in this State for any office whatever. If we limit the right of sulIYags to sex we ought to limit it, at least to some ex ter.t, as to intelligence. If we do not open the franchise doors ad allow meo aud won. en to vote, tbe Constitution at least ought to provide tbat the idiot and tbe insane can not vote. But I do not desire to dircms the matter of woman suffrage Mr. MAGEK (interruptica): Did I understand you to say that you favor a constitutional limit as to suffrage? Mr. FOULKE: Personally 1 do not. I do not think there is any danger in throwing the doors as wide open as possible, except as tu a person who in idiotic or who is wholly irresponsible for his own acts. I do not believe stich an ooe ouht to vote. Mr. MAtJEE: Neither do I. Air FOULKE: I celieve that even i?norat ce r-as thf right to protect itself against inte licence, and not in leaving the rights of ore in tbe hacda of another, bat that en:h cJa, white, btaclr, mal and female, xh-inld have tt-ff God-given riatht of aying what is b?st Ua itself. Hut tbat, sir, is a matter of i TNriI preference. It may be said: If the Constitution is to be amended, wbv can not that be don by offering specific aniendmnU? I answer, for tbe reason that it involves the remodeling of the whole Constitution. Yen can't go over a single art'e'e without seeing a point tbat is radically defective. It needs to be gone over from beginning to end, and the only body c?mre tnttodotbat is a constitutional convention. llefore be concluded the Senate took a recess fur dinner. Mr. IIILLIGASS: It seems tometnvery principle underlying the argument of to e'ecator from Wayne why we saould havi h Constitutional Convention i9sufficient within itself as an argument against the c Illing of a Constitutional Convention. We have seen cropping out a disposition for the concentration of power in the administration of public affairs a disposition to concentrate tie power of the Government in tbe hands of a few men; and the ideas advanced by the Senator from Wayne Mr. Foulke remind me of the old Hsmiltnfan doctrine advanced at the time of the foundation of our Government a departure trom the Jeffereonian idea of government, with which he saw proper to twit the Democratic tide of this Chamber. The forms of government across tbe water, to which he alluded, are what the American people combatted when they formed this Government. I can not agree with the Senator that there is any power delegated to the Legislature to call a Constitutional Convention. I don't often quote from Republican authority and accept it as good doctrine to act upon, bat in this case I will read from the message of Governcr Potter to the same General Assembly to which Governor Gray's message was delivered, from which the Senator saw tit to refer, and upon this same question. Governor Porter cays Reads from Brevier Reports, vol. xix., page 30. I shall have to adept this langusge, and will adopt it ss pait cf my argument as an objection to calling a Constitutional Convention, Four years ago every Republican on the floor of tre Senate voted against a proposition for the calling of a Constitutional Coentional Let me read Reads the vote on page 1G3 of tbe Frevier Retorts, vcl. xix. Senator Grubt , at tnat time one of the leading lights on the Republican aide of tbe Chamber, who was afterward nominated for Congress and ingloricusly defeated in the late avalanche that brcke over tbe country, said upon this question Reads from the Brevier Reports, Vol. xix., pej;e 1-S. Xow, sir, I am opposed to this bill, and 1 believe with Senator Grubba that amendments should be made under the provisions of the Constitution; and I believe that tbe people of this State, after thirty odd years of success and advancement in the f rand march of civilization, have a right to bv.ov what amendments are proposed to the Constitution of their State, under which they Lave made such Rtecal progress. Mr. McCULLOUOH: Under existing circumstrnces, it is tbe duty of every Democrat who aspires to represent the will of the majority to vote against this Constitutional Convention bill. I was opposed to a Constitutional Convention because the party to which I belonged declared itself against it. There is a great deal of fallacy in the arguments put forth in calling a Constitntional Convention. There are some things which grow better by being eld. The argument that because the State of Indiana has grown large under this Constitution, the argument that we ought 10 have & cew Constitution btcffusa tbe present one is thirty years old, to my mind is an argument against a new one, unl-s there can b seme other good reason shova. As w!! might a man eay who hid bought his forty or e:tbty acres of land atmall pries and after cities or towrs ae built noon his land, b--cne there has been such a growth o wealth, he usbt to have a new title to the land. One of the arguments made by the Senator from Wayre is that onr present Constitution, upon the questi n of suffra? is. a disgrace: that insare persons idiots and ought not to be permitted to vote; aDd if they are, that the opposite sx ought to be permitted to vote. I detire to call attention to th fact tbat the Constitution on that question is not thirty years old. It is but foar years old. Within the last s-x yevn. aye. within the last four year?, a constitutional amendment has been adopted in this State fixing tbe qualification of voters. Tbat article went through two Legislatures and was ratified by the people, so that provision ia not thirty, but four years old, which the Senator is so dissatisfied Witt. Another provision to which ttt Sen

ator referred tbe cue with reference to th Judges of the Supreme CvurL I take it that tbe ieop!e of the S ate, as wPR at the Gaeral Assembly, have passed upon tbat verr question within the last six years, for, iH lb77, tbere was an amendment propose! to tbe Constitution involving that question; and tbe people declared themselves to be against the Senator from Wayne on that question. And there is no necessity of putting anything in the Constitution for the protection of railroads. Mr. FOULKE (interrupting): Does not the Senator thick something is nece3sary to protect the people arainst the extravagant ctnrgfsof raiirourN? Mr. McCOLLOl'GH: I think a Constitutions! Convention would be plied byn'Jroad magnates jnst as tbe Legislature i. and tfce necessity of bing put in a more favo-a-bie att'tnde would open the Constitution no to give then another grab and takeaway what pro'ection tbere now i for tbe people as against these corporations. Until some cocstitutional amendments are matured in the mir.ds of tbe people I see no necessity for calling a Constitutions! Convention and setting the old Constitution aside. U".ti that is doce there ought to be no convention to put this) cUnse in to suit one merabjr nd another to suit another, and by a lo-rolling process to force a Constitution upon tbe people tbat is not in accordance with the opinion of even a majoritv of the people of the State. When he concluded The Senate adjourned.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Titui.sDAY, Jan. '22, 18SÖ 10 a. r. THE GRAM) .11 KY SYSTEM, Mr. TAYLOR, from the Committee on the Jcdiciaiv, returned Mr. Patten's bill H. R. Lv7 to abolish Grand Juries, with a recoraiLeLdation that it ce indefinitely postponed. Mr. PATTEN: I don't particularly care about a bill of that kind myself, but I have drafted that bill in the interests of economy. I know that tbe Grand Jury system is a very expensive one, and I undertake to say, and I believe everybody will agree with me, tbat it is a svstem of barbarism and inquisition. Tbe Grand Jury is ot service to nobody. It is not effective. It has retarded justice. This bill provides tbat the prosecution thall be by any 6one. It gives to tbe officers of tbe State of Indiana fu'l power to file an information againtt his inirmanr, or to compel parties to po up beforf ti e court of jurisdiction and file the affidavit. There is a great deal of experee in brln;:irg people before the Grand Jnry. To ihustra, Governor Hubbard, of Ten?, said ujami eeveral ncc&sions that, wbeu a yonng man, he was Prosecuting Attorney, and there was an old man drawn who was deaf in one ear and said hecoaldnot hear well. "You are jnst the kind ot man expected to sit on a Grand Jury ; you are cot expected to hear cnt of one ear." It is enly a one-sided examination. I undertake to Eay that after the examination has ones been gone throu.ch with before the Grand Jury, the whole matter has to be gone throagb with, and the who!e expense and cost incuned again in tbe Court. I don't purpose to f.o into the details of tbe merits of this bill, but to say that it ought to have a fair hearing befora this body. I had hood tbat the, wisdom of the Judiciary Committee wonld prepare a more perfect bill and 1 repent it to the Hon-e. The Grand Jnry defeats tbe very object for which it wa instituted, therefore I ask that th report of the committee te laid upon tbe table, and be recommitted to tbe Committee on tbe Judiciary, I asked to be informed when the bill Cirre before the committee that I mtsbt apper before them, but I was notinformel. Mr. DAVIS: I don't remember of his rrquest to be beard before the committee. I assure him that no disrespect was intended him. On motion by Mr. PATTEN the bill was recommitted. woman's rights. Mr. TAYLOR, from the Judiciary Committee, returned Mr, Jameson's Woman's Rights bill II. R. 50 with a recommendation that it be indefinitely postponed. Mr. JAMESON: This is a bill to amend the section of the Married Woman's act, lhSl, which provides that a married woman shall not enter into any contract of suretyship. The courts, by construction, have extended the effect of this section to prohibit married women, their husbands ioining, from mortgaging their separate real estate, or tbat held by them and their husbands as tenants by entirety. If the present law is to stand some of our best lawyers think the same reasoning by which the courts have arrived at the construction of the law now placed upon it ouJd irevitably lead to tbe conclusion that a mortgage of a man and his wife on real esUte owned by tha husband would be void as to the wife's interest therein, for the Tf&ton tbat the law is well settled tkat a wife s interest in real estate of her husband, mortgaged by husband and wife to secure the husband's debt, is security only for the husband's debt. The bad effect of this needs no comment While the opinion of the Judiciary Committee on purely legal matters is entitled to weight, on a matter of the character of the one in question the opinion of a lawyer is entitled to no more weight than that of any other man of equal intelligence. The question is not a legal one; it is one of iustice. ot expediency and of public policy. The present law is no real protection, is productive of no good, but is a haimful law. It imposes disabilities known to no former law. In cases where its provisions should afford some protection it is continually avoided by indirection. Dishonest husbands and wive3 collude to use tbe law as an instrument to commit fraud on honest creditors, and intelligent women are prevf nttd from a free and proper use of their property to which in jastice they are entitled, and are often forced to eacriScs their property by sale because they have not the power to mortgage it. Mr. TAYLOR: This bill has been very thoroughly discussed by our committee. Laws are not made so much for the enjoyment of the rich as they are for restricting the vicious acd protecting the weak. This bill teems to have been conceived for tbd purpose of making easy the power and indcence of the husband over tbe property of a wife. I think, sir, the law as it novelists is a yery proper one. It has pot been placed there by a sudden gush cf feeling, but in the wisdom of the Legislature, the members have seen proper to put snco. laws upon the statute books. The law is well settled in Indiana tbat no womaD can become tne surety of her husband; Tbe point is, whether such a bill as is prono?ed by the gentleman of Marion, shall become a law in the Stare of Indiana, and thereby repeal the safeguard brown around the home of married women. Sometimes a man uses bis power over h?s wife to make her sign a mortgage. .A mortgage generally means a deed, and it means tbat the property may be taken from tne wife if he is improvident. The Legislature of this State would bedoinga violence to its conscience to take awy any safeguard they have thrown around the married woman. I am perfectly willing to have thisrr&tter discussed before the Houe. I don't believe the sentimnt of the House would be for repealing this law. Mr. McMUwLEN: This is a question in which we are all interested, and it s-enu to me that underour rules this is not the proper time to discuss the merits of this bill. It seems to me it would be right to recommit this bill so that we all might have the right to discuss it Mr. MAUCK, cf Wells: I am opposed to

recommitting the VI!. The present lawi tbat a mortgage executed by a raairied woman to property belonging to her husband is valid. Oar Supreme Court has decided that a married woman can convey her property. It is simply a humane provision of our law to protect married women from being induced by their husbands to convey away their property. Mr. REEVES: It has long been tbe tendercy of this Legislature fsr years to question the rights and privileges of married women. It has been held that she may carry on her t eparatd business, and that she may make contracts of her own. If this is the sentiment cf tbe people they certainly hive come to recognize the fa?t that women within themselves have some inherent sense: tbat trey are not a lot of dummies tn be led by their husbands into all 6orti of foolishnees. 1 eaythis Jaw is not imposing any hardship anon tbe women. A great deal of gush has been expended on this subject It reems to me tbat gentlemen seem to think tbat tbe interest of the husbaud is antagonistic to the interest of the wife that tbe busbsnd wants to invade and take away tbe df mlcilo of tbe wife I ba i always supposed tbat the husband's and wife's interest were common. I don't bslieve it has come to be regarded tbat th husband is toe natural fee of his wife. These amendments to the Jaw simply give tbera rights where necessity seems to demand them. I am not In favor of concurring in the report of the committee Mr. GORDON: Ten years ago the Legislature saw tit to take the first important step in enlarging the rights of married women. It WKa then enacted that when real estate was held conjointly the wife hadtberiht of partition. The Legislature realized the bardhipof tbat matter, and they passed a law allowing her to enjoy her part of the real estate In 1ST? they were given rights to contract. The gent'eman from Bartholomew Mr. Reeves has said that it waa a etep recognizing the ability of married women to contract for themselves. Let us not forget that while they were enlarging their rights by contract tbey were diminishing their rights by mortgage. If a married woman to day desires to mortgage her property to pay a debt, or if she desires to mortgage her property to carry on her own business, she can do that under the law a it now stands. I'be report ot the committee ought to be concurred in. Mr. BROWNING: I am in favor of concurring in the report of the committee for two reasons, the first of which is that we have too much change of law; we have too much legislation on many subjects, and this is one of them. And it has come to be the rule that one Legislature passes a law, and in about four years the people leirn what it is, and then tbe next Legislature will change it. Second I venture to say that you can't find a memorial prayiDg for such a meisure, with live names of women attached to it, in this Legislature. It is the improvident huv bards who want this charge. That u the strongest point. Mr. WILLIAMS: This is a bill of great importance for the reason that a gocd many estates tbat have been held in entirety have been mortgaged or will be mortgaged soon. While 1 may not indorse a good deal of the sentirxent just expressed, yet I think this biil should pass to a second or third reading. I therefore move you, Mr. Soeaker, to amend the report by striking cut the recommendation therein read, and that the bill pass to the second reading. The motion was rejected. Mr. GORDON demanded the previous question, and under its operation the report of tbe committee was concurred in by yeas, ; nays, . Woman' Suffering and Relief. These languid, tiresome sensations, causing you to feel scarcely able to be on your feet; that constant drain that is taking from your system all its former elasticity, driving the bloom from your cheeks; that continual strain upon your vital forces, rendering you irritable and fretful, can easily be removed by the use of that marvelous remedy.
