YOUCHU: I notice thera is a mistake in the engrossment seals. Tue fine is pieced at $3 ii. stead of Mr.OVKRSTREEü: I don't think this Mil ought to pas?, because it will hi imperatiie for four years. Two Legislatures will interrene before it eoes into operation. Why should we pass any law that is not to take effect until after two General Assemblies shall meet? Mr. 1IILLIQ ASS : I concur fully in what was said by the Senator who has just taken his seat; and as this bill has been discussed, 1 rx0T6 it be indefinitely postponed, and on that motion demand the previous question.

Tbe motion was agreed to. The LIEUTENANT GOVERNrOtt makes this committee to consist of Messrs. Smith of Jay, Ilahm, Iluslon, Youche and Willard. Mr. Foulke declined to serve becau33 of other pressing committee engagements. GCALMANS or INSANE. Mr. Howard's bill 8.

Mr. OVEHSTEEET: I believe that provi ion would be injurious. It would lead to trouble. If persons want to practice decaplion tbey would be apt to do so before substantial men could get to tha polls, and then g t in their dirty work. Mr. DRAKE: This is an exact copy of the rieser.t 'aw down to the word "provided." Tbe object is to give opportunity for laboring ir cd to go to the polls, and not have to loss a dav's wort by to doing on election day. It is a pretty goneral rule in all manufd :"o r3 that men muU lo?e all day if they lo?a ti hour or two in jroini: to the polls. Mr. DROWN: This "bill is for the conve liierte of workers in large manufacturing otabl'ehrnents and for railroad men. It is a iii that will give groat relief, and is net orea to the objection ursed by ihe Seuator from Johnon (Mr. Overstreet). It is also a copy of the law in Ohio. Mr. CAMPDELL, of St. Joseph: The bill is unnecessary anil dangerous There are no r-anuf.ictorica, as far as I know, but give their employes time to vote. The bill p-.--rojts UDdoe baste, when wo consider tha dignity of the voting privilege. The bill failed to pass rr want of a const!tut;onal majority yeas, 23; nays, 11. Then came a recen till 2 o (lock. AFTKHNOON SESSION. Mr. KCIILOSS' Metropolitan Polio.- l ll 173 coining np as a ip?t !al order on the ft cord renlinj;, with a committee report fanrirp an Bf.inndr.icnt making H appSirxblo to (iiisof r.t'00 inntpad of r.,CK), and a u'.inorlty report rccommendlrg that the bill lie (,n the Uhle Mr. JOHNSON, of Tippccanoe, spoku In fitrof the bill. Had It rot teen introduced he would l ave brought forward su:h a treasure. At his anjrgfstbn an amendlernt is no pronose-d to redQi i the required iinmlf r of inhabltsnt1 of a city to which its fovlfinrs ball apply from l;,0x) to 12,000. Mr. l-'OULKE: A n;ood deal ha been said a! gut this t-eirg a civil ifrvic reform meas vif. 1 am nrilc-tilly in favor of civil service i f rrrn to cvry cae; if it ia a K.ood thin? for policeman It ouht to be u od thlnr tor a lau-ftu, JJut X aiu (,7'potcd o Ue Metru-

jrolitan Tolic bill because it violates tb principle that each citv and commonitr should manage its sfTairs in its own way and should have the right to determine whether or net each city desires to leave its police sj item In the hands of its council, which coets nothing, or to Folica Commissioners who will cost 13.000 or ? 1,000 per annum or more To tay they shall necessarily have a Board of Tolice Commissioners they do not want and that a majority of the people are opposed to. is a thing I da not believe we have a right to force upon them. In Richmond there is only one dissenting voice agaiLst 0 000 who say tbey do not want auch a Metropolitan Police bill. The principle is wrr.ng. Mr. 8MITn, ci Jay, moved to amend by appropriately inserting the word "less than 23GC0' in the first lection. Mr. NULL made an ineffectual motion yeas, i:: nave. 22 io substitute tbe minority for the majority report. Mr. THOMPSON, in eTp'.vning h!3 vote, taid: I was very much opposed to the Metropolitan llie fystm when rlrjt introduced, but It has worked ao well that I am in favor cf it no, aad shall vote fur its Intrcduct'on e'eewhere. The minorities of all cities should favor the Metropolitan Police tjsttm. Strangers and all classes cf pcjple ehould be proted, aod in my opinion von can not get a local police that will d3 justice cn election day. I have seen the polica arrest men in this city and keep them in duress for hours simply to inliaence elections. I vote "eo." Mr. WINTER moved to amend the majority ieport by substituting the words "lizard of Aldern an and Common Council of svd city," imtead of tbe wonls "Governor, Secretary and Auditor of S ate," and proidiDg for the election of said Commisaioiiers by the Alderman and Council, and fixing the number of Inhabitants at 29 000 to whih the bill Ehall apply. He said: I concur in the staf err eat that the people of every locality eho lid decide for themselves whit is bejt for thoir own good. I am utterly opposei to the Metropolitan Police bill b?in- extended to a single city in its present form. My amendment only applies to the two citieu now provided with a Metropolitan Police system. Under my amendment tbe minority In the Common Council can designate their representative on the Police Board. Mr. faMITH, of Jennings: la principle I am opposed to this kind cf legislation. Matters cf local importance should be controlled by the people oi each particular locality. I challecge histoiy to ehow where local selfgovernment has ever been denied the reope except by Republican legislation. We to not have to go far back to rind act of Cancress tbat have disfranchised whole States, and the inhabitants thereof have been ruled by thoEe who were not inhabitants cf those States. And it was a question whether free government would live or would petisrt at tLe Lands of eminent civil service reformers like tho Secator from Wayne. Home rale hts been adhered to by tbe DeraocraVc party

since America tcok her stand among the nations of the earth. You gentlemen who talk abcut horze rule and self government are frcm that party which has denied tbe people elf -government. In the days of recces' ruction negroes fresh from slavery were put in legislative balls at the noint of the bayonet. U. S troops armed and equipped marched into the legislative halls of Louisi ana and installed usurpers in the place cf duly elected representatives of the people. You have been in favor of lccil telf govorament when it would make votes for the Ri publican party and opposed toitwh?nit would loso votc3. I sat in this hall two years ago when it was full o! policemen, armed with revolvers and eana bags, kept here by the Republican party represented by the then Lientenant Governor, when the friends of the civil service reformer was trying to thlk time to e'eath. The necessity of a Metropolitan Police bill in Indianapolis grew out of the conditionof affairs because of mismanagement of the Republics! party. Matters got so corrupt an election was known to be a Republican election, and every Republican policeman was understood to be worth twenty-rive votes. There never was a city so badly disgraced by a police force as waa the cily of Indianapolis. It was that there thould be a change for the better that the people of Indiana demanded there should be a police bill for the citv of Indianapolis. It was not an appeal for relief from Indianapolis alone; I saw appeals from papers outside, stating that unless better government was had country merchant would not come hf re to buy their goods. If localities will not protect the people, a power above it must do so. The Metropolitan Police bill was a godsend to relieve them from the bonds of tyranny and corruption that held them down to the ground, ho citien of Indianapolis who pavs a tax and has due regard for hia rights would come in here and ask for hi repeal of that law. The Senator from Marion iMr. Winter) desires by his amendnnut to pats these good results to the cesipool froai which they sprang. I hope the amendment will be defeated, and because I do nots the necessity for any more Metropolitan P -lice bills in Indiana I hope the bill will lei the sleep that will know no waking till t!igavel falls at the last hour of tnis s?siou. Mr. MARSHALL: I rhink the mn ment is fair and just, and hope it will b adopted. As a Republican among the oth-.' fifteen on this floor, we have been continually hearing irom the Senator who has ju-t spoken tbnt the Republican party have beers preventing the people from governing themselvts. I deny that, if the people have ever been denied eelf-government, it ha3 been done by tbe Republican party. As a Republican, young in thoto days, I find nothing in tbe history oi that party where it has disfranchised tue people on any occasion. Tbe whole trouble oi thu election in the Southern States must have been committed by Democrats, because I hava heard on this lloor the statement that the majority of the soldiers were Democrats, Talk about taking the rights of the paople away: . hv wlen tbe colored people were knockine f r sdm'ssion a Penjocra'.tc Senate in Indiana broke a quorum and went home in order t. defeat aiutasuie to enüanobise tbe.ii. Tue resolutions and platforms of tna I)jmo:ratic party abent ls;) and after Rta'cd tha awpb a failure and they wanted peace. I would as 60on expect to find reform in the Democratic party us to find an iceberg in Florida er an orange blossom iu Ice and. Laughter Mr SELLERS moved a substitute for the amendment by miertirg "and leji than 2;,CCO, and In all cities having a population of over -".'.Cro," and demanded the previous question. The Fenate refused to recond the demand. Mr. H1LLIGAS3: I have peculiar ideas upon the organization of the police force, and I believe the 8tate should mako ita ere nture of law. Dut I see a disposition to exclude some cltic! and include others. This protection docs not rreet my approbation. I nnt not in favor of cither amendment, b;it would j'tffer the cne otlerei bv ths Santtn? from Marlon ( Mr. Winter). I more to Inc'etir.itrly postpone the bill. This n otion was ared ti by yeas 'J, rays 1 1. ISr. I"ron iroved to reconsider th vn'n jn' taken and lay that motion cn the table. The latter motion, was agreed to. THE KNKU1TSTGWN ASYI.VM. Mr. Smith, of Jennings, returned the bill IS. 32?) with amendments providing the Rcant uf Trustee thall consist of four members, ere of which shall be a woniaa, one of which khall belong to the two parties casting the hU-het number f votes. Mr, jUVLKE explained ether ameud-

ment: The pay aball re $300 for the Trns tfca with a four yers' tirm; the Superintendent may be removed by the Trustees, and hs c impensition is fixed at $1.501 Tbe sound miedtd sddierj orphans are to be kept teparate from the feeble-minded. The appointment of Trustees is left with the Governor, without coofirmatloa by the Legislature. On motion by Mr. WEtR the report of the committee was concurred in. Mr. ÜILLIGASS: I think it would be wisdom to have this bill printed. It is an important matter, aud we caa't a Cord to pass it through in tuch haste. I move the bill be printed ard made ihs special order for to-morrow at 10 o'clock. Mr. SMITH, of Jennings: There is an urgency for tne ravas of this bill nov. I would like tos?3 u i rineJ, but I think the urgency for parage will oveibilance that convenience. Mr. WILL&RD: A man can not gat a good underttPtlm? froa tbe reading. The emendmeM hnul be printed Mr. FAULKNER: I have seen bills run throucn ia double-geared lightning time, blJ this U a very important bill, one that ought to be well guarded, and we ought to tave it printed. You can't get any bill up for tho protection of coldier orphans but what I wonld vote for it. Mr. RAUM: This bill has been referred to a committea, aud I believe it a disracs for the Indiana Senate to delay a bill of this kind. Tbe bill is snort, the amendments are easily understcod, and I believe in pass lug the bill to night and let it go to the LTou36 to-iLorrow., It h a disgrace to allow tnat man Goar fo remain a Trustee any longer. Mr. WEIR: Senators tave been waiting for days, and I mipiht tay weeka, for this bill to come in lure, a;.d I ioi one am ODpcsid to deiay. Mr. ALKI30N f avert d the motion to print. .Mr. McCLURE: I cau not aes why there is in much hurry about this bill. I would I fce to see the co.jntct.on of these aniendlutnts ith the original bill. Itbecomeäus to act coolly and with judgment in this matter. Mr. MAR31IALL:' The House has spent considerable time on this bill, and I think we thould give the House . lesson on this matter. Without reflecting on the House, this bill shonld have been passed long ago, andweorgh not to delay aa hour till we place this n utter in the hands of the Governor, an 0 :"th:m appoint Trustees to go downthei. im wipe out the disra:e on our record Mr. WEIR: T ere is no reason why we can not dtpj&? of this bill to day, and i am oppOitd t tV delay tbe printing will cause. Mr. MACY: Lst the amendments be taken up teparaUly. Some of them have been voud dwu in the House. Mr. CAMPBELL, of Hendricks: I desire to vote for thi bill, and es I will hava to be alsf nt to inorrcw, I trust it will be acted upon now. The motion to print was rejected upon a division aüirmative, D: negttive, 20

On n.ction of Mr. tVEIR, the constitutional mle was diepenied with, and the bill read the second time. Mr. FAULKNER demanded the previous question. The Stnate seconded the demand, and un der ita operations the committee amendments were concarred in, the bill read the third time, aLd pas&ed as amended, by yeas 40, nays 0. Mr. FOULKE stated for Mr. Johnson, of Tippecanoe, that he was called away, and were he present would vote "aye." Mr. THOMPSON, wh?n bis name was called, raid: I must express my admiration of the bill and my perfect satisfaction with the report of the committee. The idea thit tr.ee orphan children shall have the bsceht of the tender oice of woman and her motherly care as to their wants is refreshing, and f-bows Indiana is advancing. I vote "fcje." EX PENS LS OF THIS SESI0N. Mr. WEIR moved to take up the bill 3. .337 to mke appropriations for the expenses of this General Assembly. Mr. FAULKNER made an inetfectual motion to lay it on the table yeas, 17; nays, 21. Mr. BENZ, in explanation of his vote, sa:d: I am not in favor of taking up this bill till the House stnds over the General Appropriation bill, Tney will send over a bill to get their own pay, but they will not send over tbe bill to appropriate money to csrry on the State Government. I vote 'aye.' Mr, FOULKE hoped the consideration o! this bill uJd be post poned till after tbe General Approp:iation bill ehall coma from the Hocss of Representative?, It is a ehama that the General bill should be delayed and such a bill as this allowed to take precedence. Mr. WEIR demanded the prsvious question. Tbe Senate seconded the demand, and under its operation The motion to take up th9 bill was agreed to. Mr. YOUCHE moved to refer the bill to the Committee on Finance without readingMr. FOULKE: I move to amend tb i amendment by referring the bill to the Committte on Finance, with instructions that it be incorporated in the General Appropri?. j tion bill. This General Assembly will b unable to give to the people an explanatior of the rea'.ou why the General Appropriation bill ha3 not came into this Home. D has been voted down agiin and again in th other branch cf the General Assembly. Thir is the second bill for our own pay. Tirs amendment to tne amendment was rejected by veas DJ, nays 22. Air.

The previous quntlon wai demanded an,i being seconded by the Hone. nnder its operation the bill pasjed by yeas ?, nays 0. Pending the roll callMr. I.OYDiaid: At this time I shall not rifertotii investigation or the abuses at that institution, but will confine myeelf to a comparison of this and tbe Senate bill. This blil cuts dewu the talary cf the tiuperintead

ent from $ 1.300 to J1.200. The Superintendent has board for himself and family, and H 200 Is enough. The Senate bill provides no alary. Auother thine this bill does is to cut down the salaries of Trustees from $500 to $100. The Senate bill does nothing of the kind. This bill also provides that a code of laws shall be drafted aud frequently read there. Such a measure will check the mutiny there. Another thing, as you will remember, when the G. A. R. visited this place they s.sked for a separation ot the fee ble-minded children, and this bill provides for that It is a necessary provision, and the bill expressly eaysthey shall be separated. And this bill says that failure to observe the order to separate thall be causa of removal. Mr. FLEECE, explaining his vote, said that be bad in hand a communication from a post of the 0. A. R., asking that the children be separated. Mr. GORDON eaid he would vote for the bill, but entered his objection to the qualificition of the Trustees that of being honorablv discharged soldiers. Mr. McGOVENEY. when his name was called, said : There are objections to the bill. It gives the Superintendent the right to employ teachers and takes it from the hands of th3 Trustees. This is dmgerous one-man power. There are other objections to the bill, but I -will vote for it, however. Mr. PENDLETON', in explanation of his vote, said : Uecaue I believe that all benevolent institutions thould be non-partisan in their character I vote "aye." Mr. SMITH, of Tiopecanoe: I here hold a communication from Post No. ', U. A. II , of Lafayette, which demands a eeraratioa cf the children. There being objection, of course I can not read it. Tbe post desired that two institutions bs made, but as this biil ia the best we can do at tnis time I vote "aye." COLLECTING TAXES.

Mr. FRENCH introduced h bill U. R 33i to allow Countv Treasurers G per cnt for collecting taxes. The bill was read the first time and referred to the Committee on Couaty and Township Business. EXTENDS OF THE SPECIAL -ESSION. Mr. FRENCH introduced a bill TH. R 5i7 to allow fUO.OOO for expenses of the special of the Legislature. On bis motion the constitutional rule was inspetded, the bill read the second time by title, the third time by section and passed by yeas 77. navs 10. Mr. MAUK, of Wayne, explaining his vote said: Bfcause I oeliave that thisvoting ' no" ia only buncombs and that th"5 v ho do so will be the first to draw their warrtnt, I vote "aye." EMPLOYES OK CORPORATIONS. Mr. DEB3: I move that the bill J. u. 'j2j concerning the liability of corporations to enplojes be recommitted toappecial cc mmittea with instructions to add a section preventing corporations from compelling employes to sun a contract releasing said corporations from such liability. Theiuotion was agreed to. MEASURE OF COUNTY SURVEYORS. Mr. TWINEHAM introduced a bill U. R C relative to a standard measure for County SurvejorF. The bill was referred to the Committee on County and Township Business. ALLOWANCE. Mr. HELMS offered a crnmrrent resolu-tio-i to ailowina Moore 20 for reporting testimony in th Mnn?oa claim. The resolution was adopted. HR. white's statement. Mr. BOYD arose to a qne3tionof privilege, bavins a lettr read from Saperintandeot J. W. White, ofthe Knightstown nstitats.ds nviDg that b had discharged any emp'oyes SAve the coot, who woi relieved forawearmglnthe harirg of the children. Mr. Boyd eaid that such information had b;?n conveyed to him, but he would give Dr. White the benefit of his letter. TOWNSHIP PROPERTY MATTEHS. Mr. BARR introduced a bill H. R. Ö3-. to regulate the sale of township property and the building of bridges, etc. The bill was read the first time and referred t3 tbe Committee on Ways and Mans. n:;iLATiVE apportionment. Mr. 8 AY RE introduced a bill IL R. 310 to make the number of Representatives of tbe State sixty in number, and the number cf Senators thirty In number. Mr. GOODING moved to reject the bill. The previous question was demanded and teconded by the House, and under its operations the motion to reject was rejected, by yeas 41, nay 31. Mr. SAYRE said that it was not a gsrry manderini: scheme. It was intended aoie'y as a measure of economy. The Legislative sessiors were by many regarded as a caTa-a-ity. He had heard it 230.000 time3 that the gentleman from Hancock (Mr, Gooding) was a friend of economy, and hera he w&3 opposing this system to economize. Mr. ADAMS, explaining his vote, said he hoped that the bill should pisp, as a matter of business and the saving of expense. It was in the interest of the taxpayer. He voted "no." Mr. BEST: Early in this session hish authority said that thi3 e3sion was to be in the interest of retrenchment and reform. He favored nch and would vote "no " Mr. COPELAND: This is no Republican measure as a political scheme. It is something the people want. He voted "no." Mr. DALE thooght the measure would ba beuefical, so he voted "no " Mr. DITTE310RE: The Republicans have got co far away from ;ho public crib tbalthey now propose to keep us out. I vote "aye." Mr. ENGLE: Every gentleman on th's floor will seriously think the measure phaul 1 pss. So will their conititusnts. Itshoull not be disposed cf thus. If a little wrong it thould go to a committee for correction. Mr. FRENCH: If this bill was seriously lntrodaced I might consider it. The Republicans have been in the majority many times and never intrcdaced such a measure. It is row offered for political capital, so I vote "aye." Mr. GOODING: Wh2n there was pl?nty of time for this bill it was not brought In, but is now thrust upon "us. It is deathbed rerentance now for the Rj publicans to ure this measare. It couid not pt:s tt.e ttnatt, aud wjuld bd a waste of time. So I vote to reject. Mr. GORDON: If tba gsntlenan from Wabash (Mr. Sjyre) wereceriou I might look at it, but during his five terms here he has not introduced each a bill before. I vote "aye " Mr. HAY WORTH: Aa 1 thinlc the smaller number of representatives would do better work, I vote "no." Mr. HELMS: For the reavm thatladvocattd a Lueasc.re cf this kind caring the racent canvsfa. and it rtot with tbe approva' cf my constituent; and for the isoa that I believe a bill cf this kind woald he a step in tbepioier d-reiiori, and a :rcat saving of monev to the peotl I vot "no." Mr. llOHAN: If go ta reilnc r.g in this ratio, io tt-n years we will have culyone meupoir. It is easv to hnvo economy on paper, bul the Republicans had time t.o pan ibis iLeamr and did not. I vet "aye." Mr. LOYD: I in not Ulieve thi bill emanatts from a siuCf re motive. It is too late in the day now f jr the Republicans to be ccrlous in thl. Mr. MAUCK : Relieving that the bill ccn.es from buncombe, I voto "ajo." Mr. MOCK: I btlleve in such a meamre, and l.nd the bill be?.n Intrcln:i at the proper time, I wotild icpport it, bat It is too 11. I vfe "aye " Mr MAUK: I have favored this mAjuro

for years and hae so expressed myself to n embers on this floor. It would be joitice totbepeorje. I vote "no." Mr. MOODY: As some gentlemen I ave here eaid that they promised their constituents to bring about this measure, and aa they have not thought of it till now, 1 do not know what to believe. I shall vote "aye." Mr. OSBORNE :JJLarge bodies move slowly, as this session of the . Legislature verifies. Favoring a small body, I vote "no." Mr. PATTEN: Believing this the worst g-rymander ever proposed, as it discriminates against Democratic voters and propctestogive the Republicans twenty Senaloxs X vot 'äc Mr. PENDLETON: As it is a cheap buncombe meane. 1 vote '"aye."

Mr. RELVEJ: I hope I will be excned fcr get ting iu - tad company. Wera the Republicans in the majority they would not propose this, bat do so because they are in the minority. I do not favor the bill as it is. I vote "no.': Mr. ROBINSON: Thera are good provision in this bill, no matter the motive, I vote 'TO." Mr. SAYRE: W have plenty of time to pass the bill. We have yet at lea3t thirtyone days. The apportionment bill was put through last session hurridly. Probably it is unfortunate that I introduced this one. I fchould have bad the gcutleman from Marshal (Mr. Kellison) or the gentleman from Clinton (Mr. Staley) introduce it. The meagre should pass. 1 vote "co." Mr. SMITH, of Tippecanoe: I believe this !s a movement in the right direction. Ha.f the number of the Assembly could do th? business half a? quick.

Mr. TAYLOR: Not that I would vote for tbe bill, but because I would not treat a member so discourteou ly as to reject his bill without consideration, I vote against the motion to reject. Mr. TWINEHAM: Believing that the principles of the measure are right, that the people demand it, and that thero ia time for it I vote "no." The SPEAKER: The reason why I vote as I do on this bill is because I do not believe in the discourteous treatment of any bill that is courteous m language and apparently onstitutional.

Mr. Ergle's bill H. R. 71 concerning the fenciLg rf railways was reau the third time. Mr. G CODING : The law es it is d:es not require railways to fence their tracks, but permits them to do it. In eise they fence they ai6 not liable, so this law makes no changes. Under this bill the farmer is required to do nothing, tbe railway company all. If iLej-ailway jail to build a fence tha farmer may do to and charge tne same to tbe railway. Mr. GORDON bjlleved that the law Is needed by the people. This law ought to have been psesed thirty jears ago. It is hmh time to pass it now. Mr. FRAZEE: Small losses by railroads are ferions injuries. For instance, a sheep or a hog is killed ; a farmer can not afford to enter suit for to tmall a los, yet it is a loss. But ho Icr g as nine-tenths of the members cf the Legislature and Judges of the courts carrv failrcad pasees, whera is the farmer to get justice? Mr. BROWNLEE: The bill is due the people. Here is a duty that the railway compsny ought lo perform, and this bill gives ihem plenty of time. Mr. DITTEMORE olfered the following: Resolved, Tbat all members of the Home of Representatives, before voting on House Hill No. 51, te end are fcerety requested lo jurrender 10 tbe Clerk of the House all railroad passes now held by them. The resolution was ruled out of order. Mr. LOYD: It has bean asserted here that ihe lailwe ys pay more now for stock tbey kill than Newlork butchers. The condition that farniers rhould come to Indianapolis to enter suit Is an inconvenience that should not be countenanced. I have a railway pasi, end have used it, and will do it again; but that will not deter me from doing my duty. Tbe bill is a good one and ought to papa Mr. ENGLE: I introduced this bill as the ikst one I bro Jght forward. It was delayed by the ccmmit'.ee, but finally came up here.
