On the 4th of Marchi the proceedings of the Indiana Legislature were suddenly brought to a close by a sufficient num ber of Democratic members, !! Senators snd S9 Bepresentatrres, resigning, so as to reduce the number below a constitntional quorum (two-thirds of each Houee). It was thought that the law to prevent - Bepublktrna i or Democrats from breaking up legislation by absenting themselves, &c, resorted to in times jifist, 'had provided ample means for pi;nbbing "those who indulged in this partisan mode of waifare; but Tesigna tion was never thougiit of as a measure that democrats would resort to, as it was generally conceded that the old saying that "few die and none resign," was one rf their eternal and immovable principles. But alas! for the stability of that principle, it has been -violated and trampled under foot. When the Legislature shall again meet, we hope it will amend the law, so as to include this new phase of party tactics, and prevent members from combining to break a quorum by resigning their places. The Governor has issued 1 is proclamation for an election to fill the places of those resigning members, to take place on the 23d inst., ' and he will call them ' togeth " er on or about the 15th of April next, it is supposed. It is estimated that the expense attendant on this ctroke of democratic" economy and policy, will not cost ehort of 850,000, which will have to be footed by the counties from whence these democratic revolutionists hail: this will be some comfort to those sections,' and may induce them to change the political character of their representatives. 'j ., ' We notice in tho Indianapolis Journal of Monday last, an address of the Be publican members of the Legislature to the J People of the State of Indiana, from which we make a few. extracts, as. embodying the true situation of the Legislature, , as left by, those resigning, and the , motive , for resorting to this act of revolution on ihe part of the' democrat- . . ..,!. . - va.iii .... ic menders: , , 'All the great measures were await; ing the final action of the two Houses, among which we may .mention the Bailroad laws, Jthe Gravel Eoad laws, the Election laws, and the laws making the necessary appropriations for carrying on the various departments of the Govern ment, and fo the 'support of the benevolent institutions of .te' State, together with thenece8sary provision for the payment of the interest and principal of the public debt. But the-power of the

''State to use the money raised by taxa-

. tion, for all6f the above named purposes, is thus suddenly strickcnfdowni by a revolutionary! movement on the

part of -the minority to prevent the dissjweiy forfbeescripttorrof the exit

"charge of a duty imposed on the Legislature by the Constitution of the United States, which every member and .'em.', ploye" of both Houses had . solemnly sjvora fa supijArtnnd' obeyTruThaV'in -fctrumwt provides'that, The Congress,Whenever two thirds' of both Houses sliall "deem it ' necessary, shall propose amendments to the Constitution which sliftll be valid to all intents and purpos 'es, as p rt of this1 Constitution, 1 when ratified ?-I y ' the Legislatures of three liourths of the several States." In accordance ' with "' this ' power, and in the manner thus pointed out, the Congress of the United' States adopted the following: ;-.i"-; . '.- . j. t I "Article Fifteenth "The right of the citizens of the United States - to vote r shall not be denied or abridged by the . Unitea btates,.. or, by any Mate, on ac count oi race, coior, or previous condition of servitude." '-" : "Section 2 Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." I This proposed amendment was certified to the Governor by the proper authority,and received by him ; on Monday March, 1st, 1869. On the same day the Governor, as was his duty, present' ed this amendment to both Houses of the General Assembly. In the Senate, ; immediately on its reception,' its consid- j eration was postponed, and was made the special order for Thursday, the 4th, , at;half past .two o'clock, p m. It was -thus made the special order for the day above named, .without . a dissenting or opposing vote 'or ; voice. It was well , known ! that the Democratic prejudice 1 ah ainst negro "suffrage was intensely aroused, and the members of that parly - were assured that the measure would not be taken up for discussion or action until the hour and day above indicated, but the majority in the Legislature wo' d rnoTe on with the regular order of bus incss until that matter should be . reach ed,;aod then discharge their duty by taking it up and acting upon it. But so bitter was the prejudice and so reckless theopposition of the minority that, oa Thursday morning at half past eight o' clock; they placed their resignations in the hands of the Governor, five and a half, hours before the hour fixed for the consideration of the subject- ; In that five and a half hours the appropriation i and other bills that were necessary to prevent an extra session of the Legislature could have been passed, for the appropriation bill had passed the Honse cf Bepresentatives, had been read once in-the Senate, and was then in the hands of- the Finance Committee of the Senate, and could have been reached and disposed of by 11 o'clock of that day, '"That passion and prejudice controlled and directed the counsels of these revolutionary members, there ' is no proof needed, other than the fact that they had not the slighest assurance that ifHhey had remained in their places the Constitutional Amendment could have been ratified and accepted by the Legis lature. 1 If even a strong probability of its passage would have been the slightest justification or apology for their revolutionary conduct, they are yet without such apology. In the House of Bepresentatives it might and probably wo'd have received the - requisite number of votes; but in the Senate there was no assurance that more than twenty-three o'-es could certainly be relied on in its favor. Every Democrat in that foody would have voted against it. There were thirty Bepublican Senators, one confined to his bed by illness, with ' no hope of ever again being up; three bad already declared . themselves . against the measure, and three more had not commit themselves to it, either one way or the other, but were understood to be personally opposed to it. Such was the' state of things in which the Bepublican majority in the Legislature resolved to go straightforward in the discharg'e'of duty, which was to vote on the amendment, leaving consequcn ces to the people and the future. ' The Bepublicans were uncertain as to the result; the Democrats were ignorant; the former proposed to follow the path of duty; the latter determined to involve all in ruin, rather than comply with their solemn obligations; so long as such compliance might be in conflict with their personal and party prejudice." Nothing to Brag of. Some Senators sneered when General Grant's message came in, stating that the act of -1789 was against Mr. Stewart, and they were disposed to say that he better have condescended to advise with politicians, but when they remembered that not a man in the Senate' had any knowledge of that act, they found that there was nothing to' brag ot." It is' somewhat strange that neither Judge Chase nor Senator Fessenden, who had lately filled tliat office, had discovered the act while looking over the laws concerning that office and its duties - The lavish expenditures upon fashionable weddings in Boston illustrate the progress of that city in wealth in luxury and progress generally. At one i recently the. bride received 820,000 worth of presents from friends, while the trosseau cost $10,000, and the flowers for the wedding cost $5,000.

Party by the Name of Johnson. The Tribune's description of theinan gural pageant, ball, and incidents, is"a brilliant abd classical effort, but we have

of the'party by the name of Johnson.' We Quote:, .. . , SCENES AT THE WHITE HOUSB. The White House, although generally next'to the Capitol the main point of in -terest on inauguration 'day, had noMhat prominence in the ceremonies of this 4th of March that many expected. The changing of occupants created comparativeyno j more commotion of: feeling than is observable in E.ny first class res idence in 3-our city on the 1st of May. This was mainly due to the want of eym -pathy that has existed between the outgoing and incomings President." Since the , attempted dis-placement ol Mr. Stanton, the ill-feeling experienced by the attempts of President Johnson to convict General Grant of falsehood has not abated in the least, and both carried out their peculiar feelings ? to : the . end. Mr. Johnson's friends have asserted around Washington ;that the .President endeavored to . conciliate by proposing that he and the newly elected President should ride, as is customary, to the Cap itol together; but there is nothing more trustworthy in the nratter than these ru mors; and it is certain that it would not only have been out of place, but a lowering of that dignity General Grant has so well maintained since Mr. Johnson's infamous attempts on his character, for the latter to have made a like proposition, sc, : President Johnson, Tvith that originality which always ' distinguished him when he was on the wrong side, and that obstinacj'' which did a great deal to ; extinguish him, determined to stay at ; home, and stay he did, even for some lime - after he ceased to bava ia. ii ipl existence as -President.', ".-AiT; 1 J : ?-i:r - Mr. Johnson and his-. Cabhioi .La.i t'ue Executive Mansion all tq ihenisI.v.es up to abotit twelve o'clock. OrtUrs had been issued the evening before that no one except the Cabinet; she uld be sd miLte i to the ground and man sic-iK and they.were explicitly, eu forced by a force of police and a ?quad of soldiers, under the command of Captain McKeever. rnieladiesof the Mansion, Mis. John -son, Mrs. Stover, and Mrs. Patterson, bad all their packing done the day heCore, so that ali their duties were confined to look after their wearing apparel and exchanging farewells with their servants. A short time before 11 o'clock their carriage conveyed them to the residence of Secretary Wells, on II street, where thej- will be guests for a short time. ' ' " ' 1 The members of the Cabinet began to arrive a little before "10 ' o'clock, and shortly afterward the last Cabinet meet ins of that admin:stration convened. It has alwaj-s been the custom for the butgoing President to repair to the Capitol on the last day of his term and there sign the bills which Congress in its last hours so bountifully sends them. The -custom was disregarded to day' as : the President would not budge out of hi3 house." Consequently the officers of both the ' Houses were kept busy running to the Executive Mansion, ' and his Excel lencya private Secretaries returned the calls quite often. The Cabinet was not long in session, and although the exact nature or t xtent of the business transac led is not known, still it was very evi dent by the long faces of the rrembers that the meeting was more for the purpose of weeping over the falling of that last refuge, in Mr. Johnson's estimation of the Constitution and the flag, than to devise means to distribute that sacred instrument and emblazoned emblem once more to the people. Mr. Wells was especially noticeable. He remarked that he felt dizzy, like an old tar, who hadn't set f.,ot on dry land for eight years. ; He didn't think .'the. new order of things would be as agree' able as the old. lie detested Kadicalism in all forms, and especially when it re suited in kicking him out of office. Mr. Bandall. however, tried to comfort him with the assurance that his case was not' half as bad as Lb own. lie, Gideon, was old and well off in the "woilJ. and could not expect to live long in t his vsle of tears; but Bandall, himself, was young and poor, and scarcely knew what to d to get his bread and butter. Wisconsin would't tolerate bim any longer, and he did not like to follow in the footsteps of Doolittle. and go to New York and join the Tammany list, lest that organization might otne to the conclusion that he would be as big a Jonah to them as he was to the party organized in Phila delphia in 18G6. Fred Seward, who represented the State Department, stig gested that he apply for the Post Office in Alaska, but Bandall said that his fame had even reached there by the partiality of his'fiiend Nashy. , Mr. Seward wa-j glad that his father could now have that retirement and leisure which he so often prated about; and which the country ha3 been for so many years willing to accede to him, but could never induce the Pres ident to gratify his desires. -Mr. Brown ing thought that President Grant, Gen. Sherman and -Phil. Sheridan . were too radically opposed to the present system of Indian management for him even to expect any further recognition, and he thanked Providence that he still had a claim agency which he could .fall back upon.

Grant s had finished reviewing the soldiers he went: into his new 'home and .received - the welcome from the Secretary of, War. He was soon after joined by his family, and when they had looked around the . building for about 20 minutes, they took a carriage waiting in the rear, to his old home on I street, leaving thousands ; in front of the building, gaping and wondering-when President Grant would throw open his house to them. ; As soon as he left, the outer gates . were thrown open, end hundreds marched up to the doors of the house only to be turned awaj' by a servant. , There was no excitement around headquarters. General Grant received no callers, and his' whole time was consumed in making preparations for his journey to the. Capitol. - ; . IS?"

For two days past rumors have been flying about the city that Sike Hartman, famous for his connection with the Young murder, had confessed his guilt. ' It' is alleged that the Hartman family long since determined that, if necie8ssary Sike sho'd confess, in order to save Mrs. Clem, his sister,' lately 'convicted' and sen tenced to the penitentiary for life. '.' In accordance with this arrangement," Sike," a' few daj-s since, made to the grand "Jury what he and the Hartman family term a con ' fession. Publication of the document has been delayed for the purpose of examining into its truthfulness, and arrest other parties implicated, if necessary. ; Hartman admits he was on the ground at the time of the murder, but denies he ' did the killing. lie. says that Abrams, the third party accused, brought a gun and gave it to a man by the name of ; Fiscu s, who went out to Cold Springs,1 : the scene of the murder, and ; secreted ; himself, and that hV (Hartman) drove cut in a buggy and ' was present when the murder was committed. The wo man who assisted in this bloody work was, he says, is a prostitute of this city, by the name of Frank Clark. "When Fiscus shot Young, Sirs, Young scream ed and fell on her face,5 'whereupon the weman Clark steppetV np and .shot her through the head with the pistol. ... They then robbed -Young's body of; $27,000. Theimrning of Mrs; -Young's clothing was accident, he says, resulting from a cigar Fiscus wa3 smoking at the time.lie further states that' besides himself, Mrs. Clem, Dorsey, Fiscus and Frank Clark, were parties to the piotlto murder Young, and that he, oy agreement, went out in the huggy to brmg Frank-Clark Lome after the deed - should have 'been committed. This, 'he says, . was . the third woman who was seen Wri the buggy with? Mr. Young and' wife and not Mrs. Clem. - He saw none of the parties until the Monday following the murderj when Abrams asked 'him to meet him at his (Abrams') stable that night. H then was introduced to Dorsey; who told f t : . i. . i. rvnn.. .1 c;sn..a v.4 ,lim "Iab uc I """7 - g6ne through the house of.Young, on Saturday night, and got all the papers and 875,000, and that on that day. (Sat urday) he got 815,000 or 820,000 from I Young on a loan. Dorsey promised t pay him 85,000 morel Dorsey went: to Mrs. Clem, on Thursday, and got frorn her 815,000 in notes made by Young and endorsed by Dorsey, and told her to keep her mouth shut and he would pay her the money; but if she did not keep still, she would be driven into the murder as one of the principals; and that on taking the notes told her that as he was the administrator he would see them settled. - ; ; I . .7. A iter the murder Frank Clark took the money from Young's coat pocket. When she shot Mrs. Young'she did not kill her instantly, and Fiscus then killed her by striking her on the head. Fiscus did not shoot Mrs. Young for the reason that the cap flew off his gun, and on seeing that he called to ' Frank Clark to shoot her with the pistol. He then do scribes the route he took to : bring the woman to the city, : and where he went, driving at a slow pace to get the mare cooled off before taking her to the stable. ' He then says he did pot' tell his counsel, who are also' counsel ' for Mrs. Clem, the whole story' until just befoie the last time he was put on the witntss stand, but told them that he did not want to be put on the stand as a witness again. The man Fiscus, accused in this confession,' is a man whose associations are all bad, and who i3 gener ally known as a worthless loafer, but his well established cowardice and harmless disposition are in such striking contrast with this deed of blood ascribed to him, that no one in the city places any confidence in the storj' of his complicity, Fiscus himself seems to '-pay no attention to the story. As to The story about Frank Clark," that has been fully proven false, as was the first story trld his counsel, which affixed the guilt on an'oth er prostitute named Cal Bowenl The whole statement is regarded by- every body as a weak effort of-, a heartless brnte without brains enough to hatch a good lie, nor memory enough-to retain and repeat the tale ho tells. He has g imply attempted to carry out the family plan of ?acriGzing himself to save his sister, and too cowardly in his guilt to save her. ' He accuses innoceut parties to shield himself, and lays bare the sole object of the intended con fession; " ": Just f s we were putting the Palladium to press yesterday ' (Wednesday ) evening, a report reached us from Indianapolis,' that Sike' Hartman bad - committed suicide by cutting his throat.
