The committee met at 2 o'clock in room 102 of the Capitol, and Messrs. Lucias Shrift ana u. 1. Morton appeared for the proseca tlon and Sam "Wiahner for the board. Dr. Harrison had brought in a big box of papers, which was opened, but Mr. Morton did not appear to find all that he wanted in In arsrer to a question by him Dr. Himson said that Ir.

He did not know what the inveatigatlon waa aimed at, but was willing to give all the information in his power. TUE SESSION OF THE SEX ATE. A Number of Important Bills Engrossed and Others Discussed. After usual formalities at the opening of me naie yesterday Mr. Uailey called up his Pinkerton detective bill, prohibiting the appointment of special detectives, marshals or policemen unless they hare lived in the feuue lor one year and in the county where the appointment is made, for six months. It was read the second time, the favorable report of the Committee on Labor concurred in and the bill ordered engrossed. Mr. Duncan, of Brown, called up hla bill for the reduction of the gravel road tolls. It was read the second time. At Mr. Fowler's request Mr. Dancan explained his bill. The present rate of tolls was established thirty years ago, he said. The traffic had much increased, yet farmers and other travelers over gravel roads were compelled to pay the Bame mileage as railroad passengers to whom a steel track and all rolling stock were furnished. The bill proTides for a reduction of 50 per cent. Mr. Huston said there was not a gravel road company in his county which had declared a dividend in ten years. Mr. Campbell explained that the passage of the bill would throw burdens on the farmers living adjacent to the road, as they would have to keep up the road, whereas now the users of the road paid to keep it In repair. Senators Dscy, May and Johnson also spoke unfavorably to the bill, maintaining that an increase would be a more politic measure than the proposed decrease. Mr. Duncan's statement that a man could ride a? clearly oi the railroad as on the gravel roai was understood by Mr. McDonald as an assertion that a man could take i Iiia bctggy along the turnpike for three cents y mile, and could take it on the cars for the same price. He was d sposed to question that proposition. Mr. Kennedy explained that he hal reconsidered the bill eince voting for it In committee neeting, and was now opposed to it. Mr. Bmith, of Wells, favored the bill, because he thought gravel roads should be in the control of tLe county, and thi3 bill eemed to him a means of turning them into the hanÖ3 of the county. Mr. I owlcr thought this would be confiscation, and moved iS indlinitely postpone the committee's report. Mr. "Winter Said the fact that there had oeen no complaint for thirty one years was ood enough evidence that no change wae Decenary. This horizontal reduction was Mr. "Griffith said that in Switzerland County, where the country was nuiy, iu law would work great injustice. -f. T.r,.,.n nf P.rown. in supporting the bill, based his argument on the fact that ' i wr,op named Irwin, in Bartholmentandwas now realizing 0 per cent or "by Mr. Winter bmortt out the M.A v v,Ä rmtrv tcmlA which preceded i l ilia b fcii vfcj " - , ihis gravel road was Impassable except for i ingle buggies wun two torse. ' h vawIpt withdrew his motion and Mr. Fellers made a similar motion, which being . : rrrs vote.

Mr. Tbornpson-bake. By unanimous consent Mr. Schloas brought cp a substitute for the dentists' bill, providitg for the examination of applicants for certificate of right to practice dentistry. Under the bill it would be unlawful to practice dentistry without a permit. A favorable committee report was concurred in. Amendments to the bill wire o2ered by Mr. Johuron, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Sharp. Sir. French said the Indiana Dental Association had with great care prepared the bill, and he hoped it would not be chopped np. Mr. Thompson's amendment was to the effect that County Clerks, aad not the fcxarninirig Board contemplated by the bill, should grant certificates. Mr. Johnson thought this would abs

lntely destroy the bill. The amendment offered by Mr. Thompson was lest Mr. Tharp'8 amendment and two by Mr. Johnson were passed, and the bill was ordered to its engrossment. Mr. Zimmerman ottered a resolution that the President call the Senate to order pre' cisely at !:30 a. ru. It was referred to the committee on rules. A favorable committee report was concur red in on Mr. Errant' a bill to provide for the taxation of bai'ding and loan associa tions, and the bill was read the second time.

Mr. Winter did not favor the aviontinn nf the resolution. He thoueht it unwise for the State to undertake to furnish a residence. It was contrary to the spirit of the Government. Final consideration of the mitter was postponed. . Mr. bmith, of Wells, for the select commit tee appointed to consider his but concerning Clerks of Circuit Courts, reported a substitute, and the report wa3 concurred in. The Senate then adjourned until 11 o'clock on Monday. riiOCKEDINGS OF THE llOÜJK. Mr. Kerchcval'a Buncombe Uesolatlon With Regard to the Late Gerrymander.

I who ball examine Into the question and report to taid houses, at their ear!iet convenience, what nicesures, if any, should be t iken to correct and referm the existing Congressional and Legislative apportionments ofthe SUte. Mr. Kercheval moved that the resolution be referred to the Committee on Elections, and demanded the previous question. It wa3 referred by a party vote. Mr. uordon said that tae resolution re flected on the last General Assembly, and as it was wholly false, he would vote no. Mr. Griffiths thought nothing could re flect on the last General Assembly, and that if any reflection could be cast on it it had beer cast by the people at tne recent election. Mr. Ibach said that there never was a more equitable apportionment than that made by the last Legislature. Mr. Jewett showed theone sidedaesäof the apportionment of 187vH and said that the succeeding apportionment was fair and that tba Democrats oniy naa a majority owning io the preponderance of hold-over Senators.

The PrrMdent Warned That He Should Choose the Democratic Policy. l-Spccch in the Senate by Senator Morgan. I am neither indicting nor excusing the President, lie Is not on trial. The Democratic party is. It is put on trial by the accusation ot the Senator from Kansas, that we have not got intelligent men erough in our numbers to fill up the offices. That is the proposition. This party, the Democratic party, comprl.iug C.OCO.COO and more of voters has been drawn together In the face of social and local ostracism in manr parts of the I nited Statte, and In the face of the iact that the Republican party has had the administration and dispensation of the patronage of this Government lor nearly twenty-five years with all the power of thia patronage behind It, reaching to the army and navy, reaching to every ramification of office in the United States, with all the power of that immense prestige which the Republican party of the Northern States won by reason of their assumed attitude in conducting the war against the rebellion, we find that, man after man, troops of men have dropped out from behind their banners end allied themselves with the Democratic party. They have not come Into association with us because ol the temptations of oüice, because we had uo Office to offer them. They have not come be cause we had money to lay before them to bribe then into our service. They have come because they hare witnessed the rapacity, the Infidelity to the Constitution, the wrong and injustice o the Republicnn party toward the people of the I'aited States, which have so moved and Impressed them that they were compelled in decent self-respect to leave the banzer of that prty and come into a party that had some respect for the Constitution and some respect for justice and for Imr. That is the reason the Democratic r-arty num bered largely on the occaiion ci this lat election, and that is the reason why I am able to say that there are more men who have been drawn be neath the Democratic banner lato the prcsen1 party organization of Intelligence and jrinc'ple than were ever found In one party iu thj Called Stales before. Tbot is the party we telong to, and I think that out of tr-at number, whether the President wncurs with me or not it is quite possible to get officers enough to fill the quota In the city of Washington. I concur wi.!i the ven erable Senator from Delaware, that that man mis takes his opportunities and puts too auch at peril who deliberately leaves the administration of aTairs, for whirl he is responsible, in the han3 of his enemies. I say that It is the fluty of the lAdministra'.'.ou tilput tie Commissioner of Pensions and tae Coaimlsslctiera of other bu reaus and the hetd3 of ether departments in such PositlDn that tlH7 will feel tfcs they arc wte in their curroundincs. This is the legitimate cfr.ity of government; and wlthor.4 wnich there can be no-yroper vigcr In government, and Trithout which there can be no proper inspection r the conduct ei inferior offi cers s and servants chiefs of the civlsions in Ihe dei arlaaents and bureaus si this Government. I lnsitt "ijon it that it should He done, and I hope that tte Administration and the hi-ada of depart ments will take troning from tb's beb ate this mornfcg and wil! not any longer allow them selves to be put in a position of jeopardy and distrust, and perhaps Jig"ace, and by and through the conduct and agency ci their subordinates, who are treacherous to thcti and to4 He party that they pretend now :d le regtudful ol.

Hill's Shortly wi tha Pittiaan DsSciL A Statement From Mr. Cooper With Regard to an Outrageously Falae Statement Published In the Journal. THE SETILE3IENT. "This Is to certify that I did on the 10th flay cf February, 1887. receive front Hon. John J. Cooper in cash the sum of two hundred and eighty-fire thousand three hundred and sixty-seven 2S-100 dollars SS85,367.?3 and I have alao on this, the 11th day of February, 1SS7, received from Hon. John J. Cooper in cah the additional lam of thirty, live thousand dollars (35,000), making the sum total ot three hundred and twenty thousand three hundred and sixty. even 22-100 dollars (9330,307.3), being; payment in full of funds dne the State of Indiana from sail Cooper as Treasurer ot State, this being the amount standing charged against said Cooper as Treasurer ef State on the books ot the Andltor of State at the close of basiness hoars February ), 1887, as cerUfied to me by aaid Auditor of State. "AdA I have also received from the said Tlon. John J. Cooper tn cash the additional sum of one hundred and fifty-seven 08-100 dollars (157.98) to pay the following warrant a drawn by the Auditor of State npon't He State Treasury and not yet presented for payment, viz.: Warrant No. 8,497 for V132.D8 and warrant No. 9,193 for f35. "JULIUS A. Lr.MCKK, Treasurer of dtate." "Thirty five thousand dollars short." The above was the lyiDg and sensational head line over an article in the local columns of Saturday's Journal, in which that organ evasively and with evident reluctance informed its readers that Hon, John J, Qoop7. the retiring Treasurer of State, had settled iu full and in cash with his Republican successor, Hon. J. A. Ltmcke. That the assertion in the headline was misleading and wholly false was proven by the publication iuClf and is further shown by the receipt held by Mr. Ccoper, which the Sentinel this morning publishes in full. Ileferricg to the receipt, a reporter yesterday asked the ex-Treasurer why the item of $.V,000 was mentioned separately in the settlement, and he replied: "It occurred in this way. The sum of $35,CC0 was coming to me from out of town, and it had not ariived on Wednesday when Mr. Imcke and I met to hare our settlement I spoke of the unexpected delay and ollered to go to bank and get the money, but Mr. Lemcke very generously remarked that there was no hurry, that he could wait until the next day or for two or three days, if necessary. Consequently, we spent that day in perfecting the details of the settlement. The money I was looking for came at noon the following day, and I turned it over to him at once and received a receipt in full." "I regret cow," continued Mr. Cooper, "that I did not go to bank and borrow the $3.5.000, even if it cost me f 5,000 unnecessary expense. Mr. John C. New was present when the t onversation took plare with regard to the one day's delay and heard Mr. Lemcke's suggestion, and this makes the Journal's unfair attack all the more surprising. I can not believe that Mr. New authorized the publi cation." In further conversation Mr, Cooper said that the oSce had been a burden to him; that be was considerably worse olf than when he was elected four years ago. "But I settled dollar for dollar," he added, "without calling upon my bondsmen for a cent." Mr. Coopers prompt and honorable settlement di Hers very materially from that of his Republican predecessor, who was short in no small amount. Mr. Cooper carried? Mr. Hill for $20,GC'V at 4 per cent, (an exMptunally low raie) for two years, and then, instead of receiving payment, was com pelled to accept mortgages for $10.00. or more, npon which he has yet to realie the full tnm of the indebtedness. It wa3 while Mr. Cooper was thus protecting and shielding Mr. flill that the Republican press kept clamoring for investigation and ir.teriag the hypccritical cry of "open the books. i et Mr. Cooper was manly enough to conceal the deficiency of his predecessor. resides the embarrassment which Mr. Hill's fcbortsce ultimately caused to Mr. Cooper, he sustained & heavy loss through the deficiency in the accounts of ex-City Treasurer Tatiison, another Republican official, Mr. Cooper, with other bondsmen, being compelled to make goo'.l-thw shortage to the city. Within the est year or two the Treasurership has been worth little more than the small salary attached to the position, as the btate's funds have been low and have been paid out as fast as they came in, thus allowing no opportunity for private loans, even if tha Treasurer had been so inclined to use the money.

Of a Lie The Unswerving Honesty or the Great War President. QIobe-Dcraocrat.l Mr. A. IL Chapman, step-nephew by marriage of Mr. Lincoln has this to say of him as to why he was c.'.'.ed. "Honest Abe." "In his law practice on the Wabash circuit he was noted for his unswerving honesty. People learned to love him ardently, devotedly, and juries listened intently, earnestly, receptively to tbe sad-fac?d, earnest man. He was never charged with bribery; nothing cosld move him when once his resolutions were formed. There wa3 nothing; scholarly in his speeches and he always rested his case on its merits, only asking for simple Western justice, and the texture of the man was such that his very nngainUness was in his favor before a pioneer jury. His face always wore a sweetened and kindly expression, never sour, and, burning to win them, his tall frame swaying as a pine, made him a resistless pleader. I remember one case of his decided honest trait of character. It was a case in which he was for the defendant. Satisfied of his client's innocence, it depended mainly on one witness. That witness told on the stand under cath whafAbe knew to be a lie, and no one else knew. When he arose to plead the case he said : " 'Gentlemen, I depended on this witness to clear my client. He has lied. I ask that no attention be paid his testimony. Let his words be stricken out, if my case fails. I do net wüh to win in this way.' "His scorn of a tie touched the jury; he laid his case before them magnificently, skillfully, masterly and won in spite of the lie against him. From such work came his Honest Abe. I never knew Abe to have a coat to fit him ; all were ill-Stting, but underneath was a big, Lot heart that could adjust itself to all humaniey. He had at his tOEgnes's end the little items that made up the humble world of the pioneer farmer. Once at a hotel, in the evening during court, a lawyer said: " 'Oar case is gone; when Lincoln quit he was crying, the jury was crying, the Judge was crying, and I was a little damp about the lashes myself. "We might as well give the case up." Public Lands. Washington, Feb. 14. In the case 0? William HarliDgame vs. the Southern Pacific Failrcad Company, Acting Secretary Muldrow, in reversing the decision of the former Commissioner of the tieneral Land Oitice. has decided that lands lying withm the "Hancock survey of the Tajnata Rancjo" in Southern California, which survey became final in 18C0, though included in the petition for confirmation and afterward included within the survey of said ranch by llanssn in 18GS, which survey was finally rejected in 1872, passed to the railroad company under its grant which attached April 3, 1371.
