KXt'MEBATION AXD AITORTIOSMEKT. 1? is not creditable to the State that :uiy provision of this Constitution, mandatory in its character and not in con flict with the National Constitution, should remain a dead letter Ix-cause of ;he non-action of the legislative depart - ncnt. If law makers would have their enactments obeyed by the masse they eiionld Bet tin example of obedience by tt a ornpt and faithful perfonnaaceof those duties enjoined upon them by the higher 1 uv contained in the Constitution itself. More than fourteen years have elapsed hince the adoption cf the present CouMitution of the .State, and to this day there are two subjects on which its language is that of positive command w here there haa been ih correpnding obedience one of these subject being almost vital to the existence of the Legislature itself. TUj liit-of the is the periodical enumeratronof the white male inhabitants abn-o twenty -one years off ngf, and tlie pkdical apportiouinent of Senators and liepreseutaUvos, iased up- ; on this enumeration. The other is the providing of houses of correction an 1 j reformation for juvenile oHewderti. Allow ro earnestly to caii your at- i tcutioti to oth of these ojstitutional J maiidates, in the order above utated. I'iie Constitution cf 1"J provides that; the first nn-J second elections of nicm-l-rs of tin; Assembly', after its J taking effect, hall be according to t!.u , jippot tioiiintnt last ruado by the Ccneral j Assembly before the adoption of saiil j t'onslitKtitMt. This provision gave am- j pie tfmc for making the utiiinualio:i j and ttpimtioniiw-nt required by the or- ; ganic law of (Je JStatc. The C'onstitu , lion nays that the 'J'.ikiI 'Assembly nlmll, at its second s .rioii idler tiic j ad'ition of this Constitution, and oveiy ; si years thei-lter, ciui.c a.i t-uuniem- , lion to be made of aii t'.e whit wude in , habitants over thw age of twenty -one j years. It n,rtlicr says that "tiic num- j ber of Senato. s and luiueseutative slinll, at the session ne.xt following t wcho period of malting sm h cnunicratton, be j fixed by the law.atid fepportiotied arnouV; ; the several counties accordiiifr to the f iiiunlrcr of white male inhalKtanl s above j twenty-one years of ae in each." The j ( JcTieral AsscmMy of 1 :i designed to carry out the first of-these provisions by j pif-sing an act approveil February l4th, j 1 .";").', eiititletl "An act to provide for the j enumeration of all the whito male inhabitants over the age of twenty-one i years, in the State of Indiana in the j year 1S'.'5, and pay the oIU ers for taking J the same." In conscquenee of defects j m tins law, as I understand the matter, the enumeration contemplated by it was never completed and publi-died, arid although more than twelve years have since elapsed, no other aet providing for 1111 enumeration lias been passed. In I ,'" the General Assembly passed an act entitled "An act to apportiou Senators and Representatives for the ju st four years." This act was not based upon at) enumeration of the white male inhabitants of the State over the age of J wenty-one j'ears, for no such enumeration had been completed, and although it has long since expired by its own limitation, no other apportionment law has been enacted in its phu-e, and by com moil connent, and from the tieecsity of the ease, niciuoers of both homes of tho ( leiierni Assembly arc still elected under the provisions of tL is law which has ceased to exist, and which if in existence has become grossly unjuvs and unequal by the change in the population of the several counties of the Statu since lsr7. A literal compliance with the Constitution as to enumeration ami uppoi (ioninont is now impossible, but the nearest practicable approach to it should be promptly made. To this end 1 recommend the passage of an act providing for an enumeration such as is contemplated by the Constitution, to he ms.de- in Istiii, and another in the year l71, and another every sixth year after the year s71. These periodical enumerations should be provided for by a permanent enactment that would require no renewal at the expiration of each period of six yoais, and to secure its enforcement there should be adequate penalties for any failure of duty on the part of the officers charged with making enumeration. To meet the present emergency I further recommend the passage of a lw, temporary in its character, making a new apportionment of Senators and Representatives on the ba-is of the votes cast at the Presidential election in InVI, such apportionment to continue until a new one can he made, based upon the enumeration required by the Constitution. HOISKS Or HKFOK.H rOK JIVFMLE Or-KkNllfcK-. The other particular before alluded to, in which a positive requirement of the Constitution has hitherto been whollv disregarded, relates to the establishment of Houses of Correction and Reform for juvenile offenders. The second section of the ninth article j of the Constitution reads as follows, viz.: "Tbe General Assembly shall provide Houses of Refuge for the correction and reformation of juvenile offenders." In accordance with this humaue and enlightened provision, the eighteenth section of the first article further pro vide that the penal code shall be found cd on the principles of reformation, and not of vindictive justice. It may well be doubted whether. the ' county jails should, in any instance, be used as places of punishment for any ; class of otlenders, and whether they should not be solely employed as places ( of detention of accused persons await- ' iug trial. 15e this as It war. there can be no doubt as to the duty and policy of ; speedily cstablithing homes f reform :or Juvenile offenders.

then nothing further has been done to

cairv into execution the provisions of the Constitution on this subject Institutions of this description have ceased to be an experiment, numbers of them having been established in other .States of the Union, with the most beneficial results. I most earnestly recommend that immediate steps be taken for carrying into execution, with the least possible delay, this requirement of the Constitution. soldiers' relief law. The restoration cf peace and the conj sequent discharge from the servic of the ( United States of the major part of the volunteers of this Statc.since the adjourn ruent of the General Assembly, render it proper that there should be a complete and thorongh revision, of the act for the relief of soldiers, seamen and marines, and sick and wounded soldiers in hos-

Dif-i this agreement, bound policy requires liculties hare arisen in the construction j tliat when official bonds sire properly apof the act, and although the Auditor of proved, and filed in the proper office, State has taken crrcat "pains to prevent a ! there' should be no doubts as to their diversity of action in taking the enumer- binding obligation on all the parties exertion contemplated by the act, I regret ! cuting the same.

Hon or the act, mhonvise without "sufliciont means for their comfortable suijiort,"' although they mioVit iosses3 some property or moans. This latter is obviously the proper construction, and it is greatly to be regretted that the act -lio'i'd not Imvc be on liberally eonstrned in r.ll pril ls of rhe .S'.titc. There is a! so xune unccrtminty as to tlie time when the weekly :d!jw:incc provided by the let s 1 1 a 1 1 commence, or from what time it snail be compuUd to those entitled, although in my opinion the Auditor of .State has properly decided that the allowance should commence from the date of the pa&Soge of the act. So far as it may be necessaiy to continue tlie provisions of the r.ct in force, I recommend ti;C aucptlOn 01 sucti axplanatory legislation as may be necessary to remove existing ambiguities, and to secure, the benefits of the act to all those within its scope and spirit, and to prevent the illiberal construction before alluded to. The act contemplates the levy and collection of a three mill tax on nil taxable property, and a poll tajzef ne dollar on each taxable poll for each of the years 1S05 and lst'iC. I respectfully suggest that under existing circumstances it will neither be necessary nor proper that these taxes should be levied or collected r the year Istfii, believing that the levy for lw(.", if properly disbursed, will be suflieient to furnish all the relief that the altered condition of the country demands. SOLDIfclt's AKl) SK.VMKn's llOMB. I earnestly invite",) our attention to the necessity for the speedy establishment of an institution in which Indiana soldiers aud seamen, disabled by' wounds or dis i ease contracted in the service of the , I'uitcd States, shall be cared for aud maintained during the continuance of ! the disabilities under which they are j laboring. Justice, humanity, and. the 1 honor of the State forbid that these j bave men trionbl be permitted to stiller j l'r t'no comforts of life, or lie compelled to receive from the public such assistance is accorded to ordinary paupers. j On the 15th day of May last, for the j I uipobO of enlisting tl sympathies of j t.ie people iu flic estai'iisiimeni 01 sucu an institution, I issued an address, of which a copy is herewith respectfully : -ubmittcd. In pursuance of the invitation contained in this address, two suceos.dvc meetings were held at Indianapolis, for the purpose of effecting a tempo rnrv organization of a Heme for disabled Indiana soldiers and seamen, and to ina jguratc a system for the collection of voluntary contributions sullicient to place it ultimately on :i permanent foundiiliuu. At the second of these meetings, held on the -1th day of May last, a temporary organization w as eilecled, tlie basis of which will bo seen by reference to "a copy of the proceedings of said meeting herewith respectfully submitted. Sooil after, at -plications for relief on I tiie part ot ilisatuC'l soldiers were presented to the otticers of the Association and the Common Council of the city of Indianapolis generously tendered the gratuitous use of the City Hospital buildings to the manager of the Association for a temporary Home, which oiler was accepted, with the distinct understanding that its acceptance should not in any degree influence the ultimate location of the institution, should the effort to place it on a permanent basis bo successful. The temporary Home was opened on the 7th day of Angus, lasi , and the absolute necessity for such an institution is demonstrated by the fact il'at already forty-six (4) disabled soldiers have been admitted into the institution, twen ty one (-1) of whom, alter remaining' sometime and receiving the best care 1 and medical treatment, have been dis- j charged with the prospect ol being suf- i ficiently restored to enable them to care 1 tor themselves, and one has died, leaving j twenty-four still to be cared for. (if; tiie twenty-four still in the institution. seventeen are totally disabled, either hv j old age. disease or wounds received in battle. The fiin Is received by tho Treasurer i of the Ilome'from voluntary contributions, amount in the aggregate to S4.'.'.)4 5o, in addition to which there are unpaid sub- ; scnptions. tlie estimated amount ot which will increase this to over :20.000. It is to Ik feared that the institution cannot be placed upon a permanent foundation bv voluntary subscriptions. and in view of this, I submit tlie entire subject to the General Assembly, and rospectfully, but earnestly recommend i th.it prompt measures be taken to secure t ' , '. . . , . the Object in View, feeling assured that It 1 ttili commend itself to vour jiilo-ment , " I an1 SVTapaiUies.

The answer, when received, will be communicated to the General Assembly. OFFICIAL BOXDS. The public interests require that there should be some legislation oa the subject of official bonds, to prererrt the sureties therein from setting tip. as a defense to actions brought on such bonds some unperformed outstanding agreement between them and their principals. Under existing decisions a surety in an official bond, when sued thereon, may plea as a defense, that when he signed the bond the principal promised hlra tbt he would procure some other persea to execute it us a co-suretv, and that the bond was filed and approved in violation of , Sle bond is approved, to acknowledge : execution before some otl;cer autnorlaseu 10 oe a principal, and t- s.presiy i iirohil.iuno- luni from settum no anv dei fensc thereto, other than such a might j I avail the principal.
