From the character ol the speeches made in favor of it at that time it was evident that further legislation was at an end, and the democratic members to the number of 15 handed in their reoignations at noon; two members ware sick and oneabseLt, lsaving but thirty-two senators two less than a quorum.

Oo the assembling of the afternoon session, the roll was called, which discovered 26 j ersooi present The doorkeeper was ordered to brintr in absentees, and the d tors were ordered to be locked. In abut half an hour, the president anuounced that there were .'i tesatora present, and the call was suspended. Mr. Wolcott stated that a rumor was afloat that the democratic members f the house hud re-igncd, while the demeeratie mem bora of the senate had not.

Mr. Stein I move that the clerkcertify that Mr. ('arson is present. We have no certificate showisg that he is not a senator and he is here present. Mr. Johnson, of Montgomery object. He is no longer a senator, and you have SO right to ro certify. The roll call wa continued, and when Mr. Morgan's name was called that L cutlc'tKi.! said : "1 don't know whether lam a senator or not."

The hitter senator has contemplated reigning to-day, for some time, having made arrangements to go to Europe. Mr. Cravens Mr. President, I made a statement of the fact that 1 had seeu the resiu'iiatiou of 11 Senators handed in to the governor the 11 whose term expires with this present session. That would leave the senate with '60 members. With tii o absent senators. Mr. 1 Hughes and Mr. Colley, it leaves us still u7 members. We are still a work ing body, and it there is anything desired to be done, now I suppose, is as good time to do it as any other. Mr. Stein Mr. President, do I understand there is a quorum present? The lieutenant governor As far as the roll shows, there is. Mr. Sherrod I desire to say that I suppose I am no longer a senator. I have been informed that my resignation lias been handed in. Mr. Stein M. President, I move that further proceeding under the call be dispensed with, aud that the doors remain closed. Mr. Johnston, of Montgomery You caunot do business with closed doors, and of the committees of the whole, shall be kept open, except such cases as, in the opisios of either house may require secrecy If there is anything to be done now that requires secrecy:, it a in the power of the senate to close the doors, but if not, it is not in your power to close the daors without violating tin' institution' Mr. Wolcott Mr. President I move this resolution, whieR I will write, that in the opinion of the senate, the emergency of affairs at this time requires secrecy. The lieutenant governor Pur, your resolution in writing, The lieutenant j:orernor--The senator from Wrhitc, Mr. Walcott, offers the following resolution : The secretary read : "Kesolvcd, That in the opinion of the senate, the emergency of the busiueaji pendiug before the senate requires secrecy, and that the doors be kept closed." Mr. Johnston, of Montgomery That docs not meet the constitutional objection to the closing of doors; but if that is to bo the order of the senate, you must clear the lobby. There must not be a st.-cctator iu here Dot one.

Several senators In earnest. The lieutenaut geveroor Let us have order; let us be in earnest about that at any rate. Mr. Scott If wc are acting in earnast. there must be some reason for ! secrecy. Wc are acting, as I underj stand it, in the ordinary manner, and j there is nothing in the resolution throwing any light on my mind as to why this requires secrecy. I would like to ask the senator from White, Mr. Wolcott, what it is that requires secrecy? Mr. Wolcott Let every senator de- ! termine this matter for himself. Mr. Church, in his seat I am afraid my wife will hear about it. Laughter. Mr. Scott If it is a joke, I enjoy it hugely; if in earnest, I am not goin; j to sit here aud vote for a proceeding ! of this kind without giving my objec- : tion. What is the matter before this body ? It is, or will be, the Constitutional amendment. Will the senator say that this is a matter requiring secrecy ? Mr. Wolcott, interposing'to relieve the senator I will withdraw the resolution. Mr. Hooper Mr. President; now 1 move the adoption of the resolution I send up.

In the opinion of the chair, the previous question i seconded. Call the roll on the adi ption ot the resolution. The secretary proceeded with the roll -call, and the vote resulted as follows : Teat Messrs. Andrews, Armstrong.

Pending the roll-call, wheu Mr. Gifford'fl name was called, Mr. Church said: "Present but not voting." Mr. Gilford replied : "My resignation has been accepted by the governor. When Mr. uohnson, of Montgomery, was called, Mr. Green said : "Present, but not voting." When Mr. Lesalle'i name was called, Mr. Church said "Present, but not voting." Mr. Lasalle replied : "I understand that my resignation has been (tendered and acceptel." Mr. Church I would like to have him put dowu as prcseut and uot voting. The lieutenant governor Call the roll through we will fix that all right. Mr. Gray According to the rollcall, a while ago, there was a quorum in the chamber, and senators now "say they are no longer senators on this floor. The lieutenant governor We Will dispose of this question when we get through with the roll. When Mr. Lee's name was called, Mr. Church said : "Present, but not voting." When Mr. Sherrod's name was called, that gentleman said: "I have already announced my resignation." The remainder of the sentence was not heard, because of cries of "Order," and "I object." When Mr. Smith's name was called, Mr. Robinson, of Madison, said 'Present, but not voting." The roll-call having been completed, the lieuteuant governor said : "The secretary reports thn following lacts : 27 ayes, 1 nay and 10 prcseut but not votiug." Applause, cheers oud shouts. Mr. Stein I offer the following resolution : "Resolved, That it be entered on the journal of the senate, that upon the call of the yeas and uays upon the passage of the joint resolution ratifying the fifteenth amendment to the United States constitution, the following sena tors were present but declined voting, viz. : "Messrs. Carson, Gifford, Henderson, Lasalle, Lee, Morgan, Sberrod, Smith, Ienbo, and Johnston." Mr. Sherrod I enter my solem.i protest against my name beiLg counted when I am not a senator in the state of Indiana. Mr. Gifford I want the journal to show that I was present, but announced to the senate that my rcs'guation wns handed in and accepted. Mr. Church Mr. President if the senator has resgnod, ho has no business talking here. Mr- Johnston, of Montgomery They have resigned, and consequently you have o riht to put their names there at all. The names reported as present but not voting should be called so wc may know whether they have resigned or not. Mr. Kinley Mr. President, the sentor from Krank lin, Mr. Gifford, and from Orange, Mr. Sberrod, both recognize themselves a enaters by spoakin on this floor, since the passage of the joint resolution. Mr. Cravens Mr. President, I think tho ponding resolution ib perfectly p oper, sod should be entered on the

journal, for thn simple reason that the gentlemen whose names are mentioned were in the body of the senate. We have no official information of their resignation, and until such official in-

tormation is nere, we have to nizo them as senators. recogMr. Stein I call for the question. previous the lieutenant governor put the question and said : I think the rrevious question is seconded. As many as favor j the passage ot the resolution will say "aye" those opposed say "no." The resolution is adopted. HOUSE. Indianapolis, Ind., May 14 Mo-! tions were made for a call of the house. and the reading of the journal and to adjourn. The latter motion having been withdrawn, a call aof the houre was ordered, aud the yeas and nays demanded, which resulted: Yeas 20; unys 30. The house then took a recess till two o'clock, at which timo the session was resumed. Mr Oaborn moved that the house concur in the scnateamendments to the specific appropriation bill, which were concurred iu by unanimous conseut. A message from tho senate was received, annouueing that that body had passed the joiut resolution ratifying the fifteenth amendment, and requesting the concurrence of the house. A message was read from governor, aunouueing the resignation of certain members of the house. Mr. Osborne moved that the house consider the senate resolutiou ratifying1 the amendment, and demauded the previous question. Mr. Coffroth just then came into the hall, demanded a call of the house, and submitted the poiut of order that the Consideration of the ameudmeut having beeu fixed by resolutiou for 2:30 to-day. toe motion ot Mr. Usborue could uot be considered. The call of the house proceeded, and discovered öb' members present, The names of the resigned members were not calledMr. Coffroth affirmed tint, by his watch, which was set by the house clock it yet wanted 10 minutes of 2. Mr. Osborue said his watch was with the house clock. The speaker said his watch was 15 uiinutes after 2. M r. Coffroth said he presumed all the watches had been advanced to suit the advai.ee of the house clock. lie insisied that no quorum was pre.eut, aad that no legislation could be ! done without a quorum. The speaker said that on that question there was a diversity ot opiuion. Sixty-seven members were necessary for legislatve business of an Jordmaiy character, butou the question of ratilying the amendment there was doubt enough to warrant the chair iu holding that it could not be settled but by holding that the joint resolution of the senate is in order. Mr. Coffroth appealed from tho decision of the chair, and submitted it in writing, which was laid on the table by yeas 3, nays 3. The appeal was laid on the table, and the vote was taken on the passage of the joint resolution for tho ratification of the amendment, resulting : yeas 54. nays none. Mr. Coffroth and Mr. Davis declined to vote regarding the proceeding in violation of the statute constitution, which prescribes that 67 members shall constitute a quorum. The speaker announced the result, and declared the joint resolution adopted by the house of representatives, and the houcc adjourned until to-morrow-morning. NEW ADVERT'S. D bt noons. J. XIX.
