LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

Another Infflfctnal Effort to Call Up the Appropriation Bill. Cocsrreea Congratulated for Placleg Grant on tno Retired List. Mr. Loyd by no Means Sanguine of Passing tho Knlghtstown Heme Bill. Several Bills dlgned by the Governor A Colored Man's Views on TowneeLd'd Bill Other Notes. The Militia bill was passed by the Hmee yesterday afternoon, after a debate in which a number of Representatives participated. The Senate bill permitting County Commissioners to l9ue boads for tbe construction of ccurt-hvustb was passed by the House yesterday. W. O. Foley is seeking the appointment as National Bank Etaminer, and a petition in his interest is being circulated among the n. embers of the Legislature. Mr. Loyd made a motion ye3terday afternoon to hold an evening session for the pnrEose of considering the Knightatown Home ill, but the House refused to absent by a vote of 17 to 43. In tpeakicg on the Militia bill, yesterday morning, Representative Harrell mentioned tbe name of Speaker Jewett in connection with tbe Governship four years hence, and was loudly applauded tor the sentiment. The Republican Senators have filed a statement of their reasons for opposing the apportionment bills at their several stage, tbe statement embodying substantially the same points as made by the signers in debate. Hy an almost unanimous vote the House yesterday passed a resolution congratulating the Congress cf tbe United States on the fact that it bad placed Grant oa the retired list of the army. Mr. Gooding alone voted in the negative. The Governor yesterday appointed and commissioned Orlando J. Lot, of Delaware County, Judge cf the Forty-sixth Judicial District, and Emerson McUnlf, of Randolph, Prosecuting Attorney for the Twenty-fifth Judicial District. The Democratic members of tie Houa held a caucus yesterday afternoon for the purpcee of coming to an understan ling about the appropr'ation bill, but the meeting resulted in nothing and adjourned without any definite action. The House yesterday afternoon passed joint resolutions allowing tbe c'aiai ef Miss Lizzi8 Callis for SG l.S.J for preparing the balls of the House and Senate, and the claim of the Knightstown Home Investigating Committee for expenies aggregating The claim of John Martin for $l0,7Gu.lG was reported from the Judiciary Committee, Mr. Williams submitting a minority report The claim is for work done on the Insane Hcspital, and seems to hae been uuneceslarily dehjed. Bath reports were laid on the table till such time as the bill should ba called up fcr action. Mr. Loyd dees not sppear to have mach confidence in his ability to have the Knightstown Home bill considered before adjoranment. He has exhausted every means in his power to eet the bill considered, but under tbe rule to take up bills in their regu'ar order, there is no probability of Its being conssdered. In the event that tbe bill is not passed, Goar and White will continue in office for the next two years. At 2:30 yesterday afternoon Mr. Patten xnovel to take up the appropriation bill at 3 o'clock. Mr. Dittimore moved to lay thi motion on the table, and the ayes and noes were demanded. In explaining his vote, Mr. Patten denounced the action of the members who opposed the consideration of the bill, and declared that the responsibility should be made to rest where it belonged. The motion to lav on the table prevailed by a vote cf "; to 3! the Republicans voting with a few Democrats to prevent its consideration. The Governor signed several bills yesterday, among which were the following: An act creating a judicial circuit in each of the counties of Randolph and Delaware which formerly constituted the Forty fifth judicial circuit; an act legalizing foreign surety coinranies doing business in this State, prescribing tbe duties of the agents thereof, and of tho Auditor of State in connection there with : an act legalizing tbe incorporation of the town of Bourbon, Marshal County, and to legalize the oilicial acts of the several boards cf trustees and the ctficers of said town ; an act mating appropriation for the State Government and its institutions, directing the application of sach apprcpriatioiip, requiring ec:outs to ba kept and repealing inconsistent laws; an act providing for the construction and repairing offish ladder?, defining certain misdemeanors and providing penalties. Immediately after the signature of the Governor had beeo r. ä d t theie bills they were filed with the becifciaiy of the State.. A COLORED MAN'S VIEWS, The Republican press is chargin? tbe Democracy with being unfair to the colo'ed people, simply because the bill introduced by Representative Townsend, the colored member from Fort Wayne, entitled a bill to abolish all discriminating laws on account of race, color or previous condition, was de feated in the House by a vote cf 43 to 10. Tbe facts in tbe matter are these: Senator Thompson introduced a civil rights bill in the Senate, which appears on tbe calendar as Senate bill No. 43, identically the same bill which Congress made law, and was set aside by a Republican Supreme Court. The Republicans in the Senate attempted to defeat that measure by tacking on riders to it, and lastly, by injecting into it an amalgamation clause, but were not successful. Now, the same tactics. It was thcught, would work in the Houae if the colored member would be induced to champion it. How to defeat the passage of a bill that would break the color line in politics, was the enigma. If the measure becomes Indiana law, as was the case under Democratic rule in the States of Ohio, New Jersey and Connecticut, it will unmask the pretension that the Democracy la unfriendly to tbe colored people. So, in order to arrest this turn in affairs, an exigency arone, and that was to have the colored memoer introduce some sort of a bill, which was nuaiberad House bill 00. which it was thought, on ac count of his connection with the race, that of itself would be sufficient to disarm all critcitm, and both defeat the Thompson bill aid place the Democratic party on record. Before the vote was Jaken, however, an eff-Jit

was made by Representative GDoJing.of Hanccck, and Pendleton, of Marion County, to pass the bill by removing theama'gimation feature, or to pass Senate bill No. 43, which the Republicans refused to do. To show that Hour e bill No. 00 was only a subterfuge and a sham It is oz.ly necessary to examine some of its featurra for a moment. The measure proposes to wipe out the word "white' in the militia clause of the Constitution of Indiana by a statutory enactment, when the Constitution is the sapreme law of the State and in its provisions it seta out tbe way for its own amendment It also proposes ti repeal Sections 2.13G and 2 137 of the Revised Statutes on the subject of amalgamation In a general sweeping statute, without epeciticslly setting out the statute by its title, etc, to be repealed. This being the case, and not willing to detract from the ability of tlis gentleman, it is apparent that one of the following reasons are true: 1. That th gentleman intned to inject Home bill C to the detriment of Senate bill 43. '2. To cater to the local feeling In his own county on account of the imprisonment cf a colored man for marrying a white woman. 3. That the gentleman intended to protect an itinerant minister of his own filth and order who had alsa violated the amnlpamation laws and was fearful of the consequeiiCts.

Blgr Four Earnings for the Fourth Quarter of February Electric Headlights on the Vandalla. New Orlear.8 travel continues brisk, and there is little or no cutting except by the icalpere. The Eloncn ieople are preparing to mace many improvements in their r ad, and the purchase of a number of new and elegant passenger coaches and Bleeping cars is contemplated. "Washington business was 20 per cent larger tbis year than it was four years ago," said a paeseDger man yes'erday; "and," he ccntinied, "there wa foiu profit in it this year, owing to the fact that there was no break in rates " The rew purchasers of the Toledo and Indianapolis have made T. P.. Brown, the late President, General Manager of the read. It is now intimated that the purchase is in the Interest of the Indiana, ßio-mine ton and Western, and that the T. and I. will eventually become a branch of that system.

Master Mechanic Treacott says thit as soon as practicable all passenger engines will be equipped with the liht. Th6 heailight needs but little attention, and being a very much roneer lignt than that obtained from cc a! it will come into general use sooner or later. Master of Tiansportation J. L. Teague, of the Evansville and Terre Haute, has ju3t completed a trip of inspection of the Terre Haute and Southeastern.

TUE GREAT CARNIVAL.

Preparations for the Work of the Festival The New Armory Hall On Tuesday of next week the great military carnival on the cccasion of the opening of the new armory on College avenue ia to commence. The occasion is notew uthy, not only because it is in celebration of the first armory erected for tbe local military companies, but also because the festival is to be as much to promote charitable objects as for the benefit of the two military companies interested. One-third of the entire proceeds te it remembered, is to go to the li diacapolis Orphan Asylum, than which there in no local charity more popular and deserving. It has been the good fortune of the members of the Richardson Zouaves and the Indianapolis Light Artillery to obtain the hearty cooperation of all the best lady workers in the city, and a great deal of enthusiaim is being manifested by all the committees having the work in charge. As to the preparations for th carnival, it rrsy be atd that the work of the various committees Is now progressing rapidly, and promises most excellent results in the way of entertain tr.eut. During the last few days tne Committee on Decoration has been actively ' paced, and by Saturday the building will present a inoet attractive apreirance. A ttsge has been erected for the use of the Lyra chorus and orchestra which measures Juir0 feet, thns aflbrding ample accommodation for ell the performers. Arrangements have been made for lighting the building with the new Siemen gas barners, the same that were used at the inauguration ball at Washington, Chas. W. Meikel it Co., agents in this city tor ths Siemen burners, having arranged for them to be p'aced in tbe Armoiy for use during the carnival week. One of tbe most attractive features of the week's display will be the large collection of military relics, including almost every conceivable variety, araone them a lot of rare curiosities ontributed by tbe East India Company. Persons who have or can obtain a military relic, or antiqoated article of interest, are requested to place themselves in commuiaication, to day or to-morro. with Miss Lizzie O. Callis, the State Librarian, who has charge of tbis department, and after Friday tbey may be left at the Armory, or will be called for if Miss Callis is notified. The ladies of tbe Indianapolis Orphans' Home will have a large booth for the display and eale of fancy work, which will beattractive to all lady visitors, besides which iherewillbe candy, cigar and bric-a-brac elands, and an exh'b t cf Fletcher M. Noe'a varied collection of natural curiosities, the latter alone being well worth the price of admission, which will be ten cents in the day time throughout the week, with extra charge for the evening entertainments. The entire programme for the week will be published to morrow. Special attention is called to the fact that fires have been kept constantly in the building for two weeks past, and the new floor is now perfectly dry and the building fit for use. Local Courte.
