Mr. VEIlt nnderstord the Auditor and Treasurer have 833amed tbe responsibility of to Joing now, cud that this bill would take every single dollar out of thb State House Comiuisvcnera' hands. There 13 a diecnte;row betwe?n these Commissionera and the Auditor. As to tho merits of tais I den't know nho is right, but the Commissioners find themselves out of fund?, when tbey ihould have unexpended some J.'JOO.OOO. I don't think this bill ia nesesssry. Mr. OVEKSTREEr: It occum to me this ia a very dangerous bill to pa?s. This bill m?ght leave the State House Commissioners without a dollar. It does seem to me there ia no nccetsitv fer it. Mr. FOWLER: 'When this bill wai first read I was Inclined to favor it but after the? suggestions I am inclined to thinic it phould not ba passed. I move to indnairely postpone the bill. The motion was agreed to. rOU SANITARY FURPOtll. Mr. Hilliass' bill 8. 213 to autnori. municipal corporations to purchase and hold real estate for sanitary parpciej outtide of city limits, wa3 real the third time and pas? ed by yeas 3t, navs 3. Mr. FOWLER explained: In view of tbe fact there 13 no limit as to how much rail estate can b3 held under this bill I vote r.o ti SUM I ES OK .JTSTIVES. Mr. Bailey's bill S. 81 to amend Srction 1,418 ot the Code, so that tr.e number of Justices In ea:h township shall be two, and oae ir addition for each city or incorporated w-wn therein, provided the number ball cot exceed four, was read the third time and pa?d bv yea? -10, nays 0. llx. WINIKll explained: In this township we tme three or four small town3 incorporated to prevent being brought into the city, anrt wbn Ju;tice3 are lected therein they move into thi3 city until now, I think, there are seven who send their Constables around arresting people. KAII.r.OAD AID r.EI'EVL. Mr. YoncJie's bill tJ. 77 io repeal th Township EaUroad Aid sc:, and to prevent townships flom Toting appropriations in aid of railway. wa read tbe third time. Mr. VOUCH K explained: It U for tho purpose cf prohibiting County Commissioaer troni taxing the people for railroad aid. Tbe reople shonld ba no longer taxed or such works, the emoluments and benefits of which po to corporations. The tima has erne 6top this kind ci public aid to pri vst? enUrpri?es. Mr. MAG EE: I think the railroid developrcent of the State has brought about grcnt tecec;al results, but there are thirteen lines running through, tke north part of the fctate into Chicago, where not half of them are ceded. The nece?sities for the present Uw have ceaed. Capital is abundant, and if tbe people can be aseur6d that bv investing their money it will brms a fair return, there will be no trouble about getting such imprcTercents made. The law can now be repealed without iajury. I urn in favor of protecting the interest of the taxpayer in this particular. It Is a question ot some importance. I have heard of no good reason whv th law should cot be repealed. Mr. CAMPBELL, of Hendricks: I have decided to Tote against the repeal of this la w. As far aa I have observed no township tas ever lest money by aiding the building rf a raUroad through it. There may be e&exs who Uesira to Y&11 tbexaselyea p tho
benefits cf this law, ! le thm decide whether they will tax tmuisel or not. Mr. FOULKE: I a:n ry wor nly in t7ot of this bilL The time ra: 1 waeu another dollar of subsidy sbozM be pid to any railrcad enterprise, which, alt tough it his done grsat coed, is a fruitful source of Impending danger to the interests of the State. In the interest of the people, who ouht to have the ruht to determine fcr what they will pay their own money, w ouht not longer to continue ihe rreEent law upon our statute books. Mr. WILLARI): I sincerely trust this bill will par'. ULdirabUl lie this I sit bailt through Lavren-p and Greene Counties a narrow-f anqe rod, wha the eubacriptioa rej tnade for brciJ .'ance road, and saw the taxpayer 'pay oat ? 1:2 0 0 fnr no return whatever.

Mr. HILL: I introduced this b !l by tsquest, but there may bf somo provisions in it that shout! ba amended. On motion by Mr. ADICISJN' it was laid cn tte tab!?. MOM AN MTKRAHE. Mr. FOULKE'S joint rrsolutlon S. 11 ! for an amendment to Art. - S?c.- by stricing therefrom the word "male," being readMr. FOULKE: I desire the question as to whether n wo-.r.au shall ha entitled to vote, ehall go before the people of the State with the oiher Ktuendrr.ents to the Constitution that are to be submitted for their ratification cr rt jecttoa. 1 ask eny man to stateanv gcod reajon why the right of sutfrage should rot he conferred cn women if they want it. That is an inherent right which God has pven to woman ei well aa to man. There is only one bar remaining the bsr of sex. What riuht have we to draw a line which shall include us and leave women out? Every cleas is best qualified to take care of its own rights. It is an unjn3t government which impcfs taxation without representation. There ought to be nothing the boy can BT.ire fo but that the girl al?3 ought tobe ollwrd to eiiire to. Mr. O V F RS TREFF: It is a fact there ia a lare number of intelligent men and women ilfsirous of having an expression of the will cf the people on' this subject, and nawwhen that privilege can bo granted without expense, it is but a matter of justice that the opportunity should be given. If we desire to quiet these people, give them an opportunity to have it voted upon. Can any Senator object to have this question once for all passed upon? It is a right tm pecple haye to ask the privi'eg9 of testing fa a leqal way any sach proposition, and the -onht to have the opportunity of so doiL : upon this s upon any other question. Mr. FAULKNER opposed the resolution. Mr. THOMPSON: This subject has been rsgitated to long that it ia aoout time the people should have a chance to vote upon it. We encht to meet tliia question as men, and not shrink from it. Mr. MeOULLOUGH: The vats fr thij amendment is jnst as much a va'.a f :r the principle as a vote for any bill is in favor of tbe measure contained :a it. After to ?ur reeding Legislatures agree to au amend nent to the Constitution, then it tj sub-nhtelti the people to ratify or reject. The ere t trontle is tfce gentlemen want to om mer.ee at the wrong ead cf the line. If an omendmeut to the Constitution Is rijht i gentlemen are willing to go before thpeop n and advocate it as rinnt then they caa consistently com iu ud advccMe au agreement thereto by two consecutive joint As sembMes. The first step to be Ukea is to submit to tha people ay propwd a-ueno-xuent to the Cocstitutioa, and then ronie to th J.i?;Elature with it. So I think th ÜouEtHuon ccnteniplRtes. I will vote fjr na amendment ia ordfr to let it go to the people, but must first be convinced a maiontv cf the peap'.e want it. You make ladies elic'orsaud you make them qualifiel f;r I Governor. Ju ices and inrora. ai well i n - I other elective icsiticn Mr. CAMPBELL, of St. Jo'cnh: While it is my belief that r.elicacf of instin -t, pee il:rity cf e?x, burdens of maferiiity,uome'ic Chres and incliuations, all make it irupra ticable and undesirable that woraea should eater politico, I yet bel;ev2. there is and has been a desire throughout the State to test this question at the ballot-box. I believe this to te right, and for this purple I shall vote for tbe resolution. The resolution was rejected by yen 22, nays '25 Mr. MAGEE explaining: Believing the people have the right to eay at the b!lot-box what amendments shall be made to the orpanic law, and believing this is a question that has to be brou :ht out some time in the future, I vote "aye.,s itelic rr.i.Mix..

Mr. WILLARD called up his resolution oCered several days ago to amend rule 51 so as the order of buiiness can b suspended by a nfcjcrity ii.siead of ti two-thirds rote, and on that moticu Le demanded the previous question. The Tetolution wo injected by yea) 21, naya 27. Mr FOULKE movel to reconsider the vote jtset taken and to Ly that ruotioa cn tb table. The latter motion was rejected by yeas 20, nays 2 .

Mr. McCCLLOUGH: Tins n an import, ant measure, 'i'tie original bill provided for a Court of liv6 Judges, to sit at Indianapolis'. A majority report recimmer.di in passage. A miiicrity report rccomt::.'r:.!s the pasac ot a bill 'or ihres Courts of th-eo memiri inch, to e-i t in three f-vcnil d.t rids of the K.a'.u 7ho latter hi'l is drawn h- i;ni A the trrt In wye's in the St.i'c. 0 IC Q ijC't'ou to tbf' iiiil providing for rne C -art is tio.3 Jude muat to paid l,u)'J a year, that i. jJ'i.i'.'j for t ;e fivo Jug.s. taero arc 1 JOJ V lua t of the Supreme Cjtirt reports so: 1, a hilf bumbcr j cf the Ltati! e.roun i us rp( rt lunriir g up t( tioasat'd.s. Only 100 arc hoh o 1 1 i 1 o cf the State, while :.:0 OU'J f ot ief of Ma'tachupetls reports are sold. Trie Supremo Coutt of Indiana is taking a very low stand. It shows Indian Courts aro not authority. OurJudgf S will compare with tho Judges of other Slates, but this discrepancy la because we compel them to pass upen cfits without the consideration the should have the time to givj. Mr. WEIL: I would just as soon have th CLeasthor her, perhapi I might .iy my preferenc- jn'. b for ths threo courts. If tbe Sena cj; lüde there mait be an Appellate Cow i, tl a the chjico can be made as betweei; 1 ,o. 1 bdievethis nn-iure to be as important aj any bill that has ije-?n presented to the Legislature. Mr. SMITH, of Jennings: Tail is a measure of great importance to ttie lawyere. to the judges, and of greater i nportauce toth.people of it.dana. k U the only way in which we can in a tl matiuer relieve the oapretnö ('ouri. l'!.dcr the hill which the Senator from (iibtoa ndvoi u nearly every case now sent to the Supreme Court now could be brought to that court. Tha bill of the Senator from L&fcrts is preferable. If the decisions of tuch court is not to be authority, 1 shall vtj against creating any court. Were there thre courts there would be decisions conrlicuneat times, each with the other. We should have n court that will produce dc;sioi:8 that ara uniform and binding. It seems to mo this is the greatest objection to this system of thre courts with nine Jn.l.'es Mr. CAMI'llJ'.LL, of Hendricks: I don't entertain the opinion that there is an absolute need of this Court to enahle the Sujrnne Court to catch up with the bis5nefif. The time has b?ea whn the Supreme Court was farther behind than it is n-v. My principal ressou for fa70ring an Apellate Court, is that it will supplant the Commissioners cf the Supreme Court. An Appei'aie Court cf five Judges would be no additional expense I believe it better to have but cue Appellate Court with three Judges. Pending th's The Senate adjourned till -. '.J to morrow.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Turr.sDW, Feb. :M, 1". the ai r r orp.iATiON kill, Mr. SAYRE made au ineffectual motionyeas, 30; nays. Ji!) that the House resolve itself into a Committee of the Whole for the consideration of the General Appropriation bill. I KIO.N bFl'OT 1. 1 LI.. On motion of Mr. TAYLOR, Mr. Thompson's bill S Lv0 relative to a Union Depot at Indianapolis was taken up, the rules suspended and the bill read the sscor.d and third times. Mr. WILLIAMS: I think the bill should not pa?E. It is proposed by the syndicate of railway corporations to condemn such property as they like for a union railway. This Legislature should not grant this. It should be done this condemning in the courts the same as other matters of like character. Otherwise but for this I would lit -to vote for it. I would be glad to see t. d cent depot at our Capital city. Mr. IJP.OWNLEE: Every man in lc diana, everyone who conies to Indianapolis is interested in this bill. Tho bill will giv1o every man in Indianapolis his full an-! complete rights. I eay this after a lnll ar.ft complete considera'io: of the bill. 1 1 is tue desire of the railway companies to bniid a Union Depot that wil be of comfort to the cities. The bill has th indorsement ot e.ll the new?paper3 of thi eity, irrespective of party, and it ought t have the indorsement of every membsr c this body. I'r.erb :s no epposition to it b citizen.

Mr. "WILSON moved to amend so that the General Appropriation bill be takfn up. The Speaker ruled the ruction out of order. Tbe rr.olion to tako up the Legislate Anportionment bill was agreed to, by ye3 ö), nays öS Mr. REST, pxplaining his vote, said: Fcr the reason that the General Appropriation bill is tho most important, and should be acted upon at once. I vote "no." Mr. WILSON': I move that further consideration cf the bill be indefinitely post roned. The SPEAKER: The motion I cot in order until the bdl is read. Read tu bill. Mr. WILSON: I move that furthar consideration of the bill postponed until Dext Wfduf-Hhiv afternoon at - o ciock. r : Mr. FROWNING: I move to lay ibja izo tion cn the tab!. " The SPEAK ER: I am dispo32d 10 treat the minority fairly and give them a chanca for debate, but dilatory motions will not do it. This is outside the record, but I hopa the eentlemen will withdraw his motion and I will recognize him fcr debate now. Mr. WILSON": I will withdraw it. The SPEAKER: Do you wish to proceed with debate? Mr. WILSON": No. not now. Mr. K ELLISON': I move to amend that instead of one representative beinc from Marion, Hancock, etc., it Ehall read Koacultco. Marshal and Wabash. On Eiotica by Mr. WILLI AM3 the amend
ment was laid on the table by yeas 5, cays 35. The question being upon the passage of the bill Mr. SAYRE: From action on bills of this character for the past few days I do cot believe remarks on the bill will do any good. I do not intend to refer to this measure as oefarious, damnable or anything of that fort, for such words would be complimentary to it. If this it to bo the altitude of thereform of the Democracy which we have heird so much of, I say, God pity the American Government. There is some consolation to me In legislation cf this kind, when I think cf tte history of g'rrvmauder in Indiana. The Republican, in 1?'72, made an apportionment bill which took nine of the Congressmen and a majority of the Legislators; jet in the succeeding campaign the paople arose against it and reprimanded the Republican party by defeat. In lbJ the Deraoeratle party repealed the Republican gerrymander and made one of their own equally as unfair. What was the result? A-;ain, a? is always the fate, the people, bec3U3- they believe In eqmiyand jostica in politics an well as anything clae, elected a L?.ghlatura that fent General Un Harrison' .to the United States Senate instead of Hon. Jo?eph E. McDonald. Vet I do believe that if this bill could be trale more Infmcus, tho majority of the House would vo'.e for it. 1 will invite your attention to tho iitt!e. County of Floyd Democrat yt hardly largo enough for oae Representative, yet it joined to another of Democratic majority, and .mother and another until it helps send t,Uf R' predate t'.vei here.

Is this fairnefs' h this tin beginning ct reform? Take the counties of Miami atal C.;?s and K:;.eiuiko r.nd Waofsh. All changed u:d ßo looned to dfrauchib Republicans. Tue two Dmocratlc have a much lar-'r re premutation to a Kmaller tt puiatioa. Every place where a Republican iniijority can br disfranchised it ia done. More than thirty countiej that hwz l)j;no cratic majoritie! nre not only permitted to vote fcr one bnt for Ihre I) jniocsttic RepreS'Utativcs. t.'üite to the i-outrary are 'th-j Republican counties. The couuiic', richer, larger, that have ir.ora c'iool -hoas-, churcneand therefore Rapub.icau nearly twenty-five there the people are inrtnltv'i. to vote for one, very rarely two. Representatives. As a part ol my speech, I propose to read a quotation from Hon. Tlio'uu A. Hendricks on the Republican gerrymander. Read-. This Democratic gerrymaa ler, which gives them, lacking two, a t.so-third majority, shows the Djmoorath- fi.tr, wni:!i I btlieve is well grounded. Mr. BROWNING : 1 should not hv risen but for tne personal a'.t&ck on me hy tbe peutlemau who lias just taken bis saat. I did not glory in what he alls the "Democratic shame" on this floor. I did say that Democrats had been yeiling "blood' marder'1 for a quarter of a century, and noy lot the Republicans try it nud fee how it po?$. 1 Bin not asnamca of this measure. Tue proudest moment iu my life will be logo heme and -ay to my constituents ' J helpvd make another Democratic county or t wc." 'lake venr Republican map and look htyonr own pieture. Yuu may ju-t as well as not make up your min Js to step dawn aaJ out. You will have to ro Mr. LROWNLEE: If ihsr? was a pestici of properly in this, there would bt Plenty of Democrats come to our aid. R.U owing to politics one-third of the voter must b disfranchised, and the raoutli3 of Di-L ocratic memt)?r3 arsclose 1 The truth comes home to me at thii hour that the Democratic party has no faith in itself, with eJl its pledges of reform, and s) on. They are so void in fact of their ability to manage the ailairs of government that they propose to steal their way in. So they make ready to eecure themselves in advance from all mistakes. It is no u?e to trAs. of this long. The b;ll ill pass. Rut in the minority, as I am, I shall go down with my boots cn. The old Democratic wagon can not bo repaired. Yon can't point out the warp in the boards and the shaggy wheels. It is there. In spite of ail this, the Democratic party rill go down with Its broken promises open the oooks in all. Rut this bill through and from this body we appeal to the people. Mr. KKLLISON: I regret that I am not In a physical condition to speak as I wish. My connection with my first apportionment bill is not a pleasant one. O! twelve yea-g of fidelity to the Democratic party, I have cow found it necessary to leave the majority. I want to stamp this measure as infamous. I can not eurport it, looking at my oath. Why should I follow a Democratic caocup, when I have been taught from Infancy that the Democrat!.: pe-"ty is one of justice and equity. I have been pronounce i an apostate. If to be a consistent Democrat, to stand squarely by my catn and support justice ia an apostate, Caen write me don as oae. I caa say to Ihcso blinded by party zeal that in the Northern part ol the State we study principle und vote it, and therefore our vote Has mates. The Constitution of the Stats say.i that the number of Representatives shall b aprortione.1 according to the namlsrof 11:3! inhabitant!. Ihid does not do thu. Tnerc are nearly 2 b'.'O more males in Marshall than in Pike County, yet this apporUoriiaeat is not observed. Here are acorts of others. Is this carryirg outtiiher the spirit or the letter of the Constitution7 1 am here to protest against, all this injustice. I go back to the year lbS, when 1 bepao to take an ective part iü politics. Then the oas great issue was the Republican gerrymander. I listened to tte speeches reierring to that infamy ar.d it pet my blood boiling and hss always, and I eay to th Democratic party, beware. No one caa questioa my Beaiocrecy. I have never Tcted for any one bat a Democrat- I have talked to, have been sccfrea toby a Darcccrat oftn;8 Moor, whose hair is whiter than mine, bat who-je Democracy does not auto date mine one year, and I have been locked npon by him a3 a brother. The aim I had in vie 1 in suDporting the Democratic party and patting it in a position to control was to correct abnse and caus3 reform. Is this to fall? Taea yoa will hear from the people. They want a coed govern. Tjenr, ard will nut cliaj to any party to the hurt of rights. Tue majority must be respsctei. If they are not to be heard, then let us retura to the oae inao roer; the ?ystm cf voting is a farce then. Let us rrogreE3 in politics as in everything else. If my position here, without order from my constituents, takes m oat the Democratic party, then I say amen. Mr. SMITH, ef Tippecanoe: When by any system in this Government one man is counted for more than another, then our idea of equality is destroyed. Eince IMG I have teen aclose student of political science. I have been able to call by name and from memory every Congressman, commencing at Maine and ending at California. Ol all I tave ever read thisapportioameat bill ia the most ontr&seouely unfair of any in history. I do net except the celebrated shoestring
district cf tne times of Grry. I defy any one to show me one as bad a this ooe. In the last enumeration of Indiana there is about 5,0W for each Representative and 10.000 for Senator, The idea of a picture of an apportionment does cot convey all the truth. A fa'r apportionment might look hideous by the side of a gerrymander and yet be far more fair. The Democrats are not tatiffied with 57 per cent, of power but they insist upon 07 per cent, or more. Is the ineatitate maw unfilled or the craving for power unmitigated? In;iM a party which would do tuch an act ai this would be at once overthrown. Why here in Drown County, back among the hills what msat has this Ca ar eat that it has grown eo strong, that the little county shall govern four others? It ia the worst of Mexicanizinj. Iu New Hampshire at one time its Constitution
' prohibited an amendment to iteelf, yet the people arcse in their power and inada a Constitution for the people. This is not in the memory ot the author of the bill, but I remember iL I am sorry my friend Across the way (from Drown) (Mr. Rrnwuinp) made tho speech be did. It would bj a gocd one fcr a camr aign document. Mr. DROWNING: Take it if it will do you good. Mr. SMITH: It is altogether as to how we are constituted. Tho alligator cannot help It because hio hide h thick, nor can the ether animal ilp it because a mosquito can torture it: and more, whit right has Hi; ruck County to a Joint Representative when It has not enough votes 'for one Representative? In the interest of good goveramnt, the righ's fd the people, and ia jait:r to my cath, I cn:i uo: fcii.urt tho bill. Mr. LOVD: M oi:dn?t cn Ih ü bill lias i:fch critic lt d. It I.

Mr. MOODY moved the previous question. Hisduoe.nd was ccconded k7 the House. Mr. FA TEN, the author of the bill, gaid he wished to set Sullivua County aright. Its County CommirS'onoTs did not write an cp ler cf secession, but that county wa3 loyal, and tent its share of soldiers to the up.r. Ah to the D',ino:ratic tnother from Mart hall (Mr. Kellison) the Democratic milk had cuidted for him. This 13 the fairest leg slatlve apportionment Dili that hss ever been attempted in Indiana. N jzerrymnnrlerizg scheue ever entered t!i? heads in this Hore. Ihe bill p;sssed by yeas nays s. Mr. DEEM, explaining his vote, said: Hecause it is ucfalr to my county in not alio ving it representation according to Its population because it is must danmable-I vote 'DO." Mr. HOBAN said : I am sorry there is not a be-iter religious atmosphere. I was to hear Mccdy last niirht, and he has given me Mjer.gth for it. I am told that the Republican party did as much. Nov? we are eveuhflrried. And as it will keep pence with the Detcucrat;, and ai it is in the interest of the DuncrrMi- party, I vote "aye." Mr MAUCK, of Wayne: Rpciuee I think it ur jutt 10 people, irrespective of party, I VCte nft." Mr. PASSAGE: The p.i5sa;e of gerrymander bills have defeated parties, it has reen said here.

Mr. PENDLETON: Because it is fair, and as one of its authors, I vote ' ave." Mr. RIVERS: There:? uo inconsistency as it seemp. so I vote "aye."' Mr. SMITH, ot Warrick: My first impreision was to vote against it, as it adected my Senatorial District, but, ae that ia Republican and I m a Democrat, I vota "ave.; Mr. STALKY: As this bill doubles tho repre se ctation from my county, and to vote cqainst it would make me an ingrate, I vote "eye." Mr. TAYLOR: If I were a Republican, I would be a stalwart I have no apology for my vote. Goodbye to my Republican friends "Ave." Mr. TOWNSEND: 1 have always tried to be conscientious; I have always had the courage of mv conviction?, and because this echem is malicious. I shall vote "no." Mr. TWINEHAM: For the reaion that tbe franchise of the people is stolen by this bill, I vote "no." Mr. WILLIAMS: While the Sanatoria! District of my part of the State is destroyed with its Democratic majority, as well as others there I vole "aye." Mr. ADAMS: Because cf its outrageous unfairness I vrte "no." Mr. WILSON: There are times when patriot. em shr.uid rise above politic?. Oae of the greatest Nations of the earth fell becau30 its people were disfranchised. Because thie ia so unfair I vote "no " Mr. COPE LAND: Because this measura tramples npen the riahts of the people, "no." Mr HAYWOltril: Because it is net fair to the voter, 1 rd "iiO." Mr. HELMS: Because thrre ;s no justice in it, I vote no. The vote was then announced as above, so the hi)'. pHSPed.
