Tbk Grubbs law makes ridicule a libeL Kekp it before the people the Forty-sixth Congress ia Democratic Thk fact can not be too often repeated that the Republican party wants to control elections by military power. Thk New Orleans Picayune is out in a serious article against dog-fighting. The Pic. should remember that the fight in a dog is about as securely fixed as its bark. 2 Thk Chicago Tribune is worried for fear that three Democratic States will be carved out of Utah. If such should be the result, polygamy wil be pretty effectually carved Ohcinhati is just now rejoicing over the prospect of an extraordinary influx of nickels. A sangerfest, a Republican convention And the old, old exposition are to be the attractions. It is reported that John Sherman is going to sit for his picture to be hung in the room of the Chamber of Commerce. Why not hang John Sherman himself? There would be sense in that. Jefeebsos's home, Monticello, is to be sold at auction. Jefferson's tomb, and Jefferson's bones will go next. Wby not gather up all the bones of the old patriots and offer them for sale? Barnum would bid. - "Female suffrage," says the New York Evening Post, "has an encouraging showing "in the Britain legislative body.". Are we to understand that "female suffrage" and woman's suffrage are synonymous? As as evidence of what Republican rule has accomplished for Virginia, plantations that were valued at $30,000 10 years ago are now selling for $12,000. Such declines in value would bankrupt the Rothchilds. The New York Times is swinging its editorial war club for the purpose of killing the custom of eulogizing dead senators and representative?. The Times seems to be of the opinion that the two Houses should resolve "Glad of it," and then drop the subject. . - Thk Louisylle Age gets off the following, previous to the passage of the Grubbs libel law: The late Senator Morton, just previous to bis death, realizing the decadence of his party, resorted to a gerrymandering system to prolong Its ascendency in Indiana, at least. We hope the Age will not again be guilty of the indiscretion. Accokdiko to the bureau of statistics, the ) number of emigrants 13 increasing. The report shows that during the calendar year of 1878 there arrived at the several ports of the United States 209,254 passengers, of whom 153,207 were immigrants. During the calendar year 1877, the total arrival of passengers was 190,361, of whom 130,503 were immigrants, showing an increase of 22,704 in the number of immigrants, or about 17 per cent. General Sherman is reported to have said to a second lieutenant of the army, who was out on a wedding tour, and who called upon the general to pay his respects, "Yon ought to be put to work on a farm." After this, second lieutenants will hardly dare to en gage in matrimonial ventures. It is possible, however, that they are induced to marry hoping that in the "by and by" a beautiful daughter may get a necklace 01 diamonds from the khedive of Egypt, or some other potentate, as a reward of their father's popularity for advocating standing armies, and otherwise glorifying strong governments. General Washington ordered that Major John Andre, the spy, should be hung like a felon. But England took a different view of the subject. His remains repose in Westminster Abbey, and his monument is of statuary marble, carved by Van Gilder, and bears the following inscription: "Sacred to the memory of Major John Andre, who, raised by his merit at an early period of life to the rank of adjutant general of the British forces in America, and, employed in an important but hazardous enterprise, fell a sacrifice to his zeal for his king and country, on the 2d of October, 1780, aged 29. universally beloved and esteemed by the army in which he served, and lamented even by his foes. His gracious sovereign, King George III., has caused this monument to be erected." After all, It seems difficult to fix some men in the right place in history; and hence the ; truth of Barry's muse But whether on the scaffold high, ., Or In the battle's van, The fittest place where man can die Is where he dies for man. Ahd now a rush for positions. The Democratic party commands Congress. A great many gentlemen eminently qualified, earnest, patriotic and fully equipped as the law directs, stand ready to draw their psy and work for their country. A Washington dispatch says that "the pressure for the Senate , offices has begun ; in earnest, and is being prosecuted with unusual vigor, because of the short period intervening between now and March 18. A Democratic senator remarked to-day that be had received from his .own State more applications than there ere places to fill, and that all of his party col-

including all grades, from secretary to laborer. Thure are only 77 officers of the Senate. In addition to these there are about 40 committees which employ clerks, but only a few of them .retain clerks when Congress ia not in session. For the 120 offices of all grades there are at least 2,000 applicants, and fully onehalf of that number will be in Washington early next week to push their claims in person. Of all the Senate officers, only four are chosen by the Senate, namely, secretary, sergeant-at-arms, chief clerk and principal executive clerk. All the others are appointed fey the secretary and sergeant-at-arms, respectively. Clerks to committees are appointed by the respective chairmen. Comparatively few senators are here now, and nothing can be predicted with any cer tainty as to what will be done when the caucus meets on Saturday." As a matter of course to the victors belong these offices, and we are satisfied that both the House and the Senate will be well officered. LEGISLATIVE ttOSSIP.

Continued From Second Page. THrKKDAY, MARCH 6. of the House voted, for the first time, on the same measure this session. We were glad to see Representative Fleming taking part in the proceedings. . The liveliest eoiscde of the entire session caineon during the discussion of the congressional apportion nient bill In the House during the yesierday afternoon's session The .Republicans have not beon lu very good humor over the proposed change in tne districts lor a great many days and they . have been quite willing to have "a littio ruropns" on the matter almost at any time. The discussion drilted into the war and the bloody shirt "butterneur'and "copperheads" and every tiling else connected with the limes of '63 and '(A. Major (Gordon denounced the bill very vigorously, also Messrs. Overmyer and Sleeth, Taylor and Shanks ail took the extreme Republican view of the matter. Mr. Thompson spoke of his action on a former occasion in attacking the record of the Repnblicau party, and defending the Democratic party from atuu-k. Koine of his Democratic friends did not approve of what he said they thought it too outspoken, but he found that the men who had served in the array and fought against him did not respect him any the less. Major Gordon had spoken of this apportionment as Infamous, and said tuat Democrats ought to be looking through the bars of the prisons. Major Gordon said that he did not say the Democratic party was Infamous, but that this apportiomeut was inlamous. Mr. Thompson said that he bnd never called any man in the Republican party infamous, but that he did say the Republican party, without excepting anyone in it, was Infamous. Mr. Thayer, of Kosciusko, interrupted : "So all rebels say." Mr. Thompson said that no man wiio fought against him would indulge in such language, and that to any one who applied the term rebel to him now, he could only apply in answer the term "liar and luUl tier'." lie went into the army a mere boy and fought lor what he believed to be right , and that none of the brave men who fought on the other side would Insult him. Considerable confusion existed, there being cheering and interruptions on both sides. Mr. Llndlry, a soldier, and now a stalwart Repubi;can, Insisted that Thompson should go on; he respected a man who had the manhood to tight for what he believed to be right; It was -tne howlers in the rear he didn't like. Mr. Thayer took the floor after Mr. Thompson, and commenced with a red-hot Mood aud thunder speech against Mr. Thompson, but Anally declared that he did not Intend to insult him. Then Mr. Thompson said that he took back every word he said, and thereupon the House took a hearty laugh, and everything was lovely as a spring morning. Representative BrigKS was in his seat all day yesterday, though still not fully recovered from his recent indisposition. In the afternoon he made a "rattling speech upon matters which were sprung in connection with the congressional apportionment bill, and, although suffering with a very severe cold and sore throat, went Into aud came out of the debate with colors flying. His remarks contain some eood reading, and will be found in another column. Representative Saint became also rather warmed up in the same debate referred to in the foregoing. We give his speech also in another column. Representative Thompson promised to give us an outline of his vigorous contribution to this same debate, but up to a late hour it has not been received. Mr. Thompson sustained himself with his usual creditable manner In the debate. His constituency will be well pleased with the record he is making. He is an industrious, painstaking member, and popular with both sides of the Chamber. Ail tne Democrats who were dissatisfied with some of the features of the apportionment bill, and voted against it on Wednesday, came nobly to the front yesterday, and the entire party stood shomder to shoulder during the debate, and the vote showed a solid ity of the party which Is exceedingly gratifying. The genial A. J. Howard, warden 01 the Southern penitentiary, was "doing" the Legislature yesterday. United States Senator Voorhees will arrive in the city to-morrow at noon. He is expected at legislative chamlers during the atternoon. The distinguished senator may expect an ovation, but he must not have Senator Streight to introduce him to Lieutenant Governor Gray in the midst of a roll-call. Dr. Perry was hungry for the congressional apportionment bill, and was willing to vote for it, even if his district included Ireland. The speaker of the House has been so very impartial and fair in all his rulings that but one or two appeals have been taken during the en tire session. Yesterday he and R;pretentative Willard had a slight misunder standing, and the latter appealed bom his decision, it was so nice a question tnat Kepresentatlve Overmeyer made an argument supnortim? Mr. Willard'a nosltion. but the House sustained the cbalr. It Is a difficult matter to carry a deliberative body against decisions of the chair, unless in ease of eross inlnstice. and in this case the difference seemed to be a case of tweedledum and tweediedee or if both could be right, both were right. The bill to submit the constit utional amend ments to the people at the April election of 183U passed tne iiouse yesterday oy yeas 7 nays 21. Representative Willlard. In common with many other Democrats in and out of legislative hails, objects to a portion of the amendment, believing sincerely that it is iraugut wiin evil to tne uemocratic party, hence his efforts to stay the passage of the bill, hut he finally was obliged to yield after doing his level best. He never cries "enough" until the last gun cracks. In discussing the compromise interest bill, Mr. Nave said that from the first he believed the per cent, bill impracticable and voted against it, and lr the gentleman from Greene wanted to "read him out" of the party he could do so. Mr. Humphrey being the member from Greene, and never wanting to read any one out, generously extended his hand, and said: "Oh, no, Joe; I won't read you out of the party." Mr. Nave "shook," and au was serene. The Democratic caucus last night arranged a new apportionment bill, which will yield seven Democrats and six itepuoiicans. FRIDAY, MABCII 7. There seems to be a general impression among senators and members generally that un extra session will be held, although there is no official lntormation to that effect. The Republicans of the Senate, who have used Senator Streleht to talk aealnst time, are the gentlemen who are directly responsible for tne waste oi mucn vaiuaoie time, ana tnereny made an extra session necessarv. An important bill, defining what shall con stitute noeis, ana proviuing penalties, introduced bv senator Grubbs. of Morgan county. has passed both Houses, and becomes a law as soon as tne uovernor signs it, nereioiore, under the old law, there was no way to reach one who libeled except through an action for damages, wnicn proved useless, even 11 a lavorabie verdict was rendered if the party sued was worth nothing. Under this new law. in addition to a hue not exceeding f 1JXW, there is added a still farther penalty of impris onment in tne county jau ioraperioa not ex' ceedlnc one vear. The following is declared to be libelous by this bill: Any ueiamatory printing, writing, sign, picture, representation or effigy tending to expose any one to public hatred or ridicule. or deprive him of public confidence or social Intercourse, or designed to blacken or viuiry tne memory oi a deceased nerson and tending to scandalize and provoke bis relatives and friends also the selling, uenveriog, reaning in toe presence oi others, or otherwise communicating a libel. directly or indirectly, to any person or persons libeled. Any person who srmll make, compose, dictate, print or write a libel to be published, or procure it published, or who shall knowingly aid ia publishing a iiidauUbe giuity ul a jujmImmmmmm and

when convicted shall be fined In a sum not exceeding (1,000, to which may be added imprisonment In the county Jail for a time not exceeding one year, but the truth of the libel shall In all cases be a sufficient justification. The governor sent to the Senate yesterday the following nominations to theboards or the state benevolent institutions: Mr. John Fish back Is appointed president of the three boards lor "the next four years; for trustees of the Insane Asylum, Drs.B, K. Spann and R. H. Carlton, the former until 1883 and the latter until 1HM.

For trustees of the Dear ana oumo Asyium, Mr. F. C Johnston and Dr. Milton James, the former until 13 and the latter until 11. For trustees of the Blind Asylum. Mr. Jos. Rlsttne and Dr. W. V. Wiles, the former for the long and tne latter for the short term. . . These gentlemen were confirmed by the Se irate by yeas 80, nays 15, Senator Polndexter voting with the Democrats. The senator Is getting to be a tolerably lair Democrat. The gentlemen named in the positions in the foregoing were the prior cholee of the Democratic legislative caucus, with the exception of Dr. W. V. Wiles, who was named for the position of trustee of the Blind Asylum, in place ot Dr. Schell, who did not accept the caucus nomination. Dr. Wiles is a very honorable physician and druggist of Spencer, Owen county, the residence of Dr. Schell. Beyond a motion offered by Senator 8treight to refer the appointments of the governor to a committee, no obstacle was made by the Republicans to the continuation. Senator straight's motion received a soporific dianght In the shape of a motion to lie on the table which had the Intended effectThe committee appointed on Thursday on the "Slate House appropriation" made their report to the Senate yesterday, recommending the appropriation of SJU0.WW In two equal installments as follows: tlOO.OOO on the 1st of May, 187. and Sl()0,huu on the 1st of September, lSTtf, and that the entire sum must be used during this year. The committee also recommended a tax levy of three cents on the SKW. SenatOr;Urmston objected in tew pointed remarks, to the making it obligatory on the State House commissioners to use the money during the present year, but rather prelerrtd leaving it to their own good judgment. The senator paid the commissioners a very graceful compliment In disfMiMKinfr nls nmnnHfl.inn. The Doillt WRS a KOOd one well expressed and susta ned, but he had auite a lob setting it .through the heads Senators Menzies, Fowls and others. in tne Journal's report oi tne senate proceedings of Thursday, Senator Rurrell is re ported as having delivered . "a lengiuy tiruue against the Republican party." Mr. Buriell was not t wo minutes upon the floor on the occasion referred to. In exceedingly few words lie replied to some personal remarKs oi Senator Streight, made in a long speech bv the latter then "against time." and Immediate! v called the previous question. He was not three minutes on me now. The state librarian sent in a communication, which was read and referred to the committee on finance, reviewing some charges which implicated him in pronting in tii u .vtAnt in the nurchase of the statutes of Indiana made by him from the Journal company lor the use ot tne senate He very distinctly denied having, even in the rvmotest manner, received any commission. gift or anything wnatever from that purchase. KX-Lieutenant governor auu r..-vA,usrcw man Sexton nassed a lew moments In the Senate yesterday in renewing the old acquaintance of Lieutenant Governor Gray and many senators. Senators ooi hoes and McDonald are expected in tue Legisla tive chanioeis to-day ana io-iiint. The distinguished gentlemen will recive tneir many friends at the Washington Club rooms, ou North Meridian street. The bill which passed tne House a few days since, requiring ioreign corporations to foreclose mortgages In the county where said mortgages are held, instead of using United States courts, as heretofore, passed the Senate yesteroav, aud now becomes a law as soon as the governor signs the bill. The foreign Insurance companies will be chiefly affected by this bill. ana, oi course, morigajc""Mrs. oenaiw Harris, ram. tunic, airs, joan J. Cooper and daughter, witn many other iadies, graced tne .Senate chamber yesterday. Dr. Harriett, of the Second Presbyterian church, was an interested spectator also during a portion of the alternoon. A well auinenticatea rumor wn ua me wing yesterday that at least 81.500 had ben lalsed among those interested, to defeat the Metropolitan police bill, it was probably put where it would "do the most good." In the meantime a financial statement from the treasurer of the rlug will be in order. The congressional apiortloument bill was read the second time in the Senate yesterday, and made tne special order lor this morning at lo o'clock. The House rid itself of quite a number of bills one way and another yesterday. In the mornlni nesMou nothing cieated so much ex citement us one relating to toll on pl&nk and s ravel roads. Gravel road mils, toll on tiiein. and kindred matters, always stir up everybodv. aud this was no exception, 'the solid old farmer member, Mr. Handy, 'went for" this nartlcular bill in his usual sturdy man ner aud denounced It as "the most outrageous proposition made to tiie House." Judge Osborne fought gallantly for his bill to prevent, as he thought, various devices which led to unfair elections, but he did not succeed in convincing a majoiity against the opposition of such men as .Messrs. Bieein, v uiinru auu oiuers, kqu so the bill was lost with only a small majority against it. Mr. Mitchell extended a helping hand to the judge during the discussion. Miss OMiorne, ot iukqhu, aiucu ncr lamer in legislative work yesterday. Mrs. Dr. James, ol Muncle, Mrs. Willlard, of New Albany, and Mrs. Uallahue. of this city, were also present in the House yesUsTday. The eacelul Qu-ier member, Mr. Hubbard, of Henry, and one of the best on the Republican side, allowed that "their boys got the best of ours" alluding to Messrs. Thompson and Briggs in the Thorn iwon-Briggs-Sleet b-Thayer-Gordon tournament of Thursday, in whlen tDe natties oi tne war were jougui u t-r again." Quaker though he is, he don't object to a plucky "set-to" any more than common folks. The committee on Investigation of the auditor's lees, have asked the attorney general for an opinion as to the legality of certain lees claimed Dy tne uuuitor. inewnuw jhjiii ui the controversy from tne introduction of this matter was. simply regarding the "construction of lees," but when a motion was made a few days since to discharge the coramtttoe and call npon the attorney general direct for his opinion, the proposition was voted down and a cumbersome committee retained to do this very simple thing. Quite a "hullabaloo" was raised around Mr. Herod's head for making the proposition. Another lively episode in House proceedings occurred yesterday evening just oeiore auiournment.

The Sentinel has repeatedly recorded Its voice "against it, and the Democrats of both Houses have repeatedly urged that there should be no delay in legislative work. We have no difficulty tn locating the parties responsible for it. Two weeks since we called attention to a small coterie of Republican senators who were constantly, by the use of parliamentary tactics throwing obstacles in the way ola hasty solution of important measures. Oue of this coterie who had been among the most fiequent in demands for the yeas and nays on trifling motions, so as to keep the gentlemanly reading clerk's (Mr Honzland's) throat about as raw as newly

slaughtered beef refused the consideration of a motion on rraturauy toanow mm tue usual K-rdiera for his services. The tactics or the epublican minority have been for weeks to HUve oil such important measures as the "appropriation" bills, "fee and salary," "apportionment" and kindred others, well-knowing that if they could lug on anything else for consideration, that these most important ones would be, of necessity, considered last, and forced so near the end of the sessioa that they would be discussed hastily, or not at a 1, and thus make an extra session almost inevitable. Failing to force the Senate into di-icusston of their own measures then wonld bevln the use of narliamentarv tactics calling for the yeas and nays demanding the previous question amendments on top of amendments rwnator nueignt put op to talk against time anything and everything for delay until the hour lor adjournment arrived, and positively nothing ot Importance done. This was the programme from day to day. Extra sessions are distasteful to the people, and those who have - made one necessary should be held responsible. In the House the Democracv have had a elenr-ent workinsr ma jority, and have pushed their work bravely on : and besides to is, tne ttepnoitcan members of the House have manifested but very little disposition to retard business. The entire re sponsibility, therefore, narrows down to the Senate, and in the - Senate to a small clique of Republican senators. The Honse passed both appropriation bills, the two apportionment bills, a fee and salary Wtll WaO,i.4a II .... .. i vUlmn Kill n ., other important measures, few of which got beyond the senate. , The governor signed several bills on Satur day. The two most important were the mining bill and the leglslativeapportionraent bill. The mining bill was noticed at length in these columns and published en tire. Briefly, it is to protect the miners or Indiana from tne many accidents incident to coal mining, and provides for better ventilation aud other means or safety. A mine Inspector will be appointed b.v the governor, and he mast, be a practical miner of 12 years experience.

In the Honse the distinguished visitors reeelvd similar ereellnzs. and In response to a iteneral request each made a few brief remarks. Senator Voorhees returned his thanks for the late honor conferred upon him.and Senator McDonald, referring to his record in the Senate, said that he had endeavored to do his duty by every vote that he had cast during his senatorial career of four years. and at the end or two more ne hoped to snow an entire untarnished record. - . - Senator Dice being seized with a sudden attack of "wwDomy, because of the proositlonot tne n nance committee to estaDiisn tne denutv secretary of state's salary at $l.ouo per annum, and, by the way, one of the most industrious of omcers, whose amies, as perlormed, are worth every cent of that amount, was forthwith "Inunced" by Senator Benz for finding fault with the Democratic party in relation to the salary, saying it was too high, and rather reflecting on the Democratic party for their want of economy in not keeping promises made during the campaign. Senator Bens does not waste any words, so he told the 'senator that as long as the Republican party had the power they raised ait salaries oi their own officers promptly, but as soon as Soon as they were forced out of power, then they manifested a wonderful desire toward an economical administration of a ffiilis, and to cut down Democratic official's salaries. He was opposed to cutting down salaries beyond a decent living rate. The sentiment was well received. General Milroy, one oi the most gallant officers contributed by Indiana to the late war, received the congratulations of senators on Satuiday a recess being given for that purpose. Senator Woollen humorously inquired of the presiding officer whether there was anv call of the yeas and navs "on." Senator Straight joined in the laugh as heartilr ns any one. The Stnta House appropriation stands in t his way: The "enate action calls for faiO.OW) this year from the State treasury out of the general fund thlF, in addition to the amount which will be received from the Slate House two cent levy 1S77, will be available, for building purposes for 1 his year. The Senate bill also provides for a three cent tax levy fori) and 1881. The House action reduces thetaxltvyto two cents, and appropriates f 100,000 additional for use in INS). The Senate received tbU action of the House on Saturday, but did not consider It. The Appropriation bills did not make much headway In the Senate on Saturday. The amendments to the general appropriation bill, as reported by the Senate finance committee, were adopted as a whole, in spite of the earnest protests of Messrs, Foster, Wood, Woollen and others, and afterwards the vote reconsidered, in which condition It now stands. The Congressional apportionment bill made s.ghsadwi.rtaad it luiuUy iiwiu to

committee of five, consisting of Messrs.

Hefron, Garrigus, Winterbotham, Davis and Urmston. , . If the Senate made anv substantial nrocress in legislation on Saturday we were not able to see it. The Cincinnati Enauirer of satnrdav nubllsbed a map of what purported to be the new congressional apportionment. As the bill had not passed the Legislature, and none abso lutely settled upou ny loose naving tue matter in charge on eaturday, it can not be called a very Intelligent demonstration of enterprise on the part of the Enq uirer. The bill abolishing the fourth superior court passed the House on Saturday. With the governor's signature the court is non et. The married' woman's bill passed the Honse on Saturday. Briefly, it allows a married woman to manage her own property rdr herself. The Senate had already passed the bill. and the House added an amendment preventing the mortgaging of the woman's property, to secure the banoana lnaeoteaness, nut, as tue iiouse nas receded so frequently from its amendments and given way to the Senate iu other particulars, it is nnsafe to say whether this amend ment win "stick" or not. On Friday Mr. Drake, who has been contest ing Mr. Beams' seat in the House, gave notice to the House committee on elections that he wonld withdraw from the contest and go home. On Saturday the House took action accordingly, and in five iinutes came a telegram irom sar. iirane, saying lie nua changed his mind. A reconsideration of tht House was attempted, but failed. And so the matter stands. During the extra session of the Iiouse on Saturday night there happened one of those gratifying incidents watch mark oil" one of the pleasant stations along life's highway, and which always contribute to the higher appre ciation of lellows and reveals the better part four human nature. Webster Dixon, Esq., chief clerk -r ihe House, by his gentle, courteous bearing towards his appointees, having won their respect and esteem, they therefore determined to make some substantial recog nition of the appreciation which he had inspired. About 9 .o'clock, the speaker and a few members ' being in the secret, arranged for a brief recess, and Dory Riddle, a clever member of Mr. Dixon's force, stepped forward, bristliog all over with "business," and pinned the latter up against ene of the pillars near the speaker's chair, and said : Mr. Dixon, on behalf of your annointeea. during the present session of the General Assembly, I have the honor of presenting you this chain as a slight token of respect and esteem. May its golden links ever be emblematical of the golden links of friendship which has bound us together during our association. In laboring under you, we have ever found yon kind, courteous and obliging ever ready to lend a helping hand or give ns ineuujy auvice. .nay you "live long and prosper," and may tne intellect of your youth ripen into tne glory and honor of manhood, is, I assure you, the heart-felt wish of us all. He then handed Mr. Dixon a very handsome gold chain and charm of cameo design. As soon as Mr. Dixon had sufficiently recovered from the slight and always excusable embarrasment incident to such occasions, he replied with a clear, pleasant voice: Mr. Speaker, Fellow Laborers, Ladles and vtentiemeu : I would be less than human did I not feel grateful for this hish mark of esteem tvoltied by this token. I accept It as an acknowledgment of the high regard you have expressed for the manner in which 1 have looked alter and cared for your interests. I am not so vain as to deem myself worthy-of the hiuh enconimn von have nronounced upon me, but if I can in the future be worthy of any measure of the praise you have oesrowea npon ine, men, inaeea, will 1 be hishly gratified. My fellow-workers. I shall always retain for you in the future the ereat esteem I have learned to do tills session in our work. I thunk yon kindly for this maenlitcent present ana testimonial ot vour reitard forme. Gentleman of the Honse. I most sin cerely extend to yon my heartfelt thanks lor i I1...n.. .... n ... .A - i"s i.uv i.cacuwwuu ia, WKuyy juui vai uaoie time. .V round of generous applause ended the pleasant incident. Mr. Dixoa Is a pleasant. quiet, industrious gentleman who has at tended to his business thoroughly and satisfactorily, winning the respect and esteem not only of his appointees, but every one connected with the Honse. He Is a graduate of the State University, and has been located in Seymour for the past six years as a practicing lawyer. He made a vigorous canvass of a portion of the State during the late campaign in behalf of the Democratic State ticket. We understand that he designs locating In Colum bus, Bartholomew county, and continue the practice of his profession there. He carries the good wishes of all who have In any way been associated with him during the present session. A large number of representatives met in good faith on Saturday night to hold a night session, by wh ich they endeavored to push forward mnny bills which needed two or three lionrs' timely attention, but there seemed to be such a difference of opinion as to the man ner fn which the afternoon session had been adjourned,and upon which depended the legal ity or the illegality of the night's work, that the speaker finally decided that notning bad better be atteiuptedtnd thus nothing was done except the pleasant little presentation cere mony, which has been referred to elsewhere. The point on the adjournment question is simply this: Could a House, which had been adjourned by the chair at 4 o'clock on Satur day afternoon uutil 9 o'clock Monday morning. In any ot noeivable way known to parliamentary law get together legally before that time. The speaker said that he cal'ea them together within three minutes after they adjourned. Bnt this does not help the matter one peg. He had no right to call them togeth er; neither had the gentlemen before him any power to get together again as the House of Representatives until Monday morning at 9 o'clock. Speaker and House were functus officio from the moment that Dr. Edwins adjourned them on- Saturday until Monday morning V o'clock. There was a disposition to push forward into work, but after much had been said, pro. and con., Mr. Sleeth made a clear statement of the status, following it up with a warning as to the dangerous precedent which they would necesS y establish by holding a session in the fact1 of aH the facta, and soon after the House, or gathering, dispersed. . if there is no extra session the investigating committee on benevolent institutions will re port to the governor instead of the House. A bill, allowing railroads to extend their lines without farther legislation, iassed the House on Saturday. The bill calling for a constitutional convention bas not received much encouragement thus far. It lies on the table of the House and will probably go nnder the table, or into the watte basket. The Important bills which passed the Sen ate a few days since on grave robbing and 'furnishing subjects for dissection to the medical colleges," passed the House on Saturday. The ditching bill which led to so much dls cnsslon in, and finally passed the Senate, went through the House on Saturday. The attorney general's opinion as to the auditor's fees was read in the House on Satur day and referred to the committee now inves tigating those tees. Dr. Edwins Is the champion adjonrcer of the House. Members must not poke "fool" mo ttons at him. They are "non est" before they know it. No appropriation bills passed means that the the State Government can not run much beyond next October. No fee and salary bills means a mob for some senators and members at the other end, when they get home. No congressional apportionment means more Republican congressmen than Democratic when the position ought to be reversed by any sort of a fair measure. No farther State House appropriation means that the work on the new building must soon ouaso. These are only some or the important measures which failed to pass. Trouble or en extra session is the very nsozXHare,
