Indiana,, Legislature. After nearly four days spent ia trying to exact prom ie from the Republican members, not to legislate on the 15th Article; the democracy concluded to cgo in,., and th ey went on the evening of 'the 12th; All the old officers of " the Houses were reelected, with the : exception of Speaker Stanton, who declined, and ( the Hon. Georgo A. Buskirk was elected Speaker in his stead. Soon after the organization, a resolution was offered and passed, ranking; the Constitutional Amendment tho special ..order for the 11th "day of May.-- A a. soon as this was ; done the Democratic Senators i took ' their seats, and the Senate effected 'ari organization. TfiRRiat.B Fibb A fire broke' out at Hancock, Michigan, on Sunday morning 39t, and, before ilsprogress was' eajed burned . th entire business portion of the town. An. are of Hfteeiv acres was burned over, ' comprising ' ir entire blocks, containing .110 ' occiyicV buildings,; besides barns .and.cuViuilJings. The loss is $500,000, tnd; thero is only 8100.000 Insurance.'1 Two hundred fam-1 iiies aro homeless; 'and others are iu a pitiable condition.' "Nearly all, the sufferers are poor pcopl e. i .-, Tho , Chicago Times says fnnd are being raised in that city for their relief." " 3 '; ; Settled at' Last. . : ; i ; Thcagony is Vet,.' ' The Democrats have concluded to do, without coaxing, what they asked, to be coaxed to do, take their seats, an-i attend to their business,' and the Legislature is now organized and ready fof work. , At tivO o'clock yesterday, afternoon they appeared in the House, were sworn in, and an organization completed by continuing the officers of the regular session, with the Exception of the Speaker, Hob. A. P .Stanton, of this ; county, wb.o; resigned and was replaced by Hon. G. II. ; Baskirk, of Monroe'" The Constitutional amendment was made tho special order fpr the 11th of. May, one ' month from ,,pow; then the Senate met and organized, and the field was cleared for the - rapid completion of the vast amount of almost matured business left, at the last session.' This improved prospect seems .lo, ha vo been produced by the wholesome fears of some of the Democrats that, in; refusing to take their places and go to work, under the pretence that they were afraid of the Constitutional, amendment, they were providing themselves with more difficulties than they could explain to their constituents. The action of,, their caucus on Saturday, backing out of their own - proposition after the Republicans had accepted it.'wasa little too much for them, and they combined.to defy the caucus and do their duty on their own account. The movement threatened to prove disastrous to -the ' revolutionary faction! To be repudiated by their own friends, and left in the' unenviable - predicament of disregarding their dnty without strength enough to make their action effective or ' formidable, would be worse than to run the I'risk of the Amendment, the Election bill, and a volume of nigger' statutes. So. they 'came down rod came in. They wanted very :,;mnch to get imother pledge from the Republi cans, to fbreak the force of their fall from contumacy, to common sense, but they could not get it.1 They' said they were willing to take the pledge thay rejected on Satnrd:y if they were allowed to publish it, but they, were told that they had no right, to : any pledge, that they had rejected the only one that had ms a n ' 1 1 a ' ' oeen onerea iaem, nusr agreeing to ac cept it, and now they must bear the con sequences of their action without any help from the Republicans. If they . chose to go to work they would - find the Republicans " ready and willing, but if they chose to disregard their duty, it was their own business. The Republi cans had no pledges to ask or - offer. They were ready to do their duty and they proposed nothing else. This let the fugitives . understand that they had to choose fairly between the responsibility of defeating legislation, and giving up' their ' silly pretence of being afraid of tha Constitutional amendment They gave up thqir pretence, entered the House withbufc condition or pledge and did, after a waste of five days, what they were elected to do at first, organize ana go to worK. . as soon as organ ized, the Republicans made the amend ment the special order as above stated and then the Democratic Senators; who had before' ".stood ' ou t returned to the fold, organized a& . everything ; was 'serene. ,Th session has now began precisely where it 1 might' have begun last Thursday. t .The 'tjemocrats st and preCUSJlJJwnsre ipey aw.r-our. .pao,

f ' Sharp Practice.

i Our admiration was challenged at the .adroitness with Which the majority of the special cotainlttee of oar city Council disposed of the, two propositions, com mitted to iVout of which .to mannfacture a fijth Ward. The first, dividing on 7th and Main, making the territory for the new out of the old 3rd Ward,1 was duly submitted, and looking thro' tha.dmocratio tens, it appeared to be LomewhaV .Republican in its make up; and, thereupon, our democratic Councilmen shook their heads put them together, and the result was another peti tion, and the "proposed. Ward (another 'Fifth") was carved out of that portion of the city orth of Vine, and : East of Ft. Wayne Avenue, and the. Newport uPike. Solemnly, and with every appearanco of fairness, tha majority, of the committee make ; their report, : recommending that the latter proposition be submitted to the votes of the city at the - election iu May next; whilst the former was incontinentally smothered. The 'secret of. the whole; movement is just ". this the democratic foxe?, after getting .all the substanco out of the Republican cheese in their possession, leaving nothing bnt the rind, thought they'd thrust 'a poll through it call it a Fifth" Ward, and, with the aid of some Republicans who might not readily see through the transparent shell, succeed in making a No,' 1 democratic Ward, and thus securing, for all time to come, the preponideranoe of that element in the Council. We cannot find it iu our heart to blame r our democratic opponent for .hT.shxrpne3t, in trying to perpetuate a democratic majority, in the Council; but we'd , blame the Republicans if, they would quietly permit them to consumate ;tiiUi-- .well devised plans, and we call Ui'f a them to vote down the Vine ous Fifth' Ward, whilst they vote up the propcsiuon lor a viihu that was squeezed out of shape by the weight of tha majority of that epeeial committee. Republicans of the city, see to this thing in time, and let us have both proposi tions, that in all fairness should have been submitted to the decision of the voters at ,. the coming election, tn due form, voted on. Let us have tho ques tion of where the Fifth Ward shall be, decided by the majority of the people, in accordance with their political feelings, and, for convenience, we suggest the following to bo printed on the Rs pnbiican ticket: ; - Fifth Wabd, (dividing 3rd Ward on Main, and East from 7th Street.) YES ! Fifth Ward, (intersection of Vine St. with Ft. Wayne Avenue, and East with Vine to the corporation line,) NO! Foreign Nominations. A portion of the long delayed list of foreign appointments reached the Senate today. The remainder are fixed, upon and will be sent to the Senate to-morrow. The most important of the nominations were Mr. J. Lothrop Motley, of Massa chusetts, Minister to England; Jno. Jay, President of the Union League of New York, Minister to Austria; ex Governor Andrew G. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, Minister to Russia. Motley succeeds Reverdy Johnson, Jay succeeds Henry Watts, of Philadelphia, and Curtin takes the place of Cassius M. Clay, of. Kentucky. . Besides these, there were a number of nominations for the third-class missions. Colonel Markbreit,-of Cincinnati, an Ohio soldier during the war, is nominated Minister to Bolivia, vice John D. Caldwell. R. Partridge, of West Virginia, takes the place of Mr. Andrew J. Dickerson, of New York, as Minister to Nicarangua. Ex-Congressman, W. A. Pile, of St. Louis, wanted to go to Brazil, but receives Venezuela , instead, taking the place of ExCongressman, T. N.Stilwell, of Indiana- , Henry S. Sanford is removed from Bel giumyand J Russell Jones, of Illinois, succeds him. Mr. Jones has held the place of Marshal of Illinois for the last eight years, and is the warm personal friond of Mr. Washburne. It wa-s the President's desire to get rid of Mr. Sanford, but Secretary Fish made a special request that he be sent to Spain, to supercede Mr. Hale, and he will be nominated for that place to morrow. . Jos J- Bartlett, of New York, is removed from Stockholm, and John S. Carlisle, of West Virginia, is appointed to take his - place. This appointment creates very great surprise, as Carlisle is remembered to have been a very bitter Copperhead during the war. He wa3 United States Senator during a portion of the period of the war, and, although elected as a Union man, voted with the Copperheads on the important questions affecting the cause of of the Union J. R. Clay, of New Orleans, goes to Liberia, to take tho place of John Keys, of Ohio. Clay is a mulatto, and is said to be a man of most excellent character. E D. Bassett, a colored citizen of Philadelphia, is nominated for Hayti. R. C. Kirk, an Ohio politician, who . elected John Sherman United States Senator, goes to the Argentine Republic, vice Henry G. Worthington, ' removed. Kirk wanted Eqnador, so did Markbreit; but neither succeeded. General Hurlbut of Illinois, relieves Peter J. Sullivan at Bogota, and Silas A. Hudson of Iowa, takes the place of Gen eral Fitz-Henry Warren at Guatamala General Sickles has been tendered the mission to Mexico, but declined. He will probably be asigned to doty accor ding to his brevet rank as Major Gener al, in Louisiana. It is not yet determin ed on who will receive the appointment. Vice President Colfax has been invi ted to preside at the National Sunday School Convention, to be held at Newark, New Jersey, on the 28th inst. The invitation was , conveyed by Hon. John Kelly, of New Jersey. It is probable that Mr. Colfax will accept.

Thaddeus Isorris in -Lippm-cott's Magazine. .. From the Indianapolis Sentinel of a late date we learn that, not long since, Mrs. Albert French, of Logansport, left the room of her sick husband to go on an - errand to the houco of a neighbor across the street. While there, s me one asked her if she had heard of a rumor to the effect that she was divorced from her husband.' She replied no, and, in a laughing way; was making some remark about the absurd, stories people tell, when a person entering, handed her a note from an attorney, informing her that it wa3 true. Her husband had made an application in the Circuit Court of Elkhart county, where the parties had never lived at all, the sheriff had served the process so Jnforrnally, , that she never received it; the application had been granted on the' 19th of March; her husband had brought the decree home with hitu and lived with her more than a week before she found it out, during which time she had been attentively nursing him through a fit of sickness. Mr3. French was almost killed by the totally unexpected intelligence. She hid been I raarrk'd .to her husband twent3"-one years; they had two children nearly grown, and so far as is known the famiFy had alwa3'3 lived in peace and unity! The husband is worth $5,000, but the wife did not receive one cent of alimony, although a portion of tlie property was inherited by her. It is one of the most infamous cases we have ever heard of, arid as the decree was granted in a county where the parties never re Bided, a considerable amount Of perjury i must have been committed. The mat ter should have a legal investigation, for it certainty caps the climax on anything we have ever-known in the way of Indiana divorces. , " t Choate's Acoount-Book. . ... ' A good story used to bo told of Choate ate by Mr. Minns, who was a student, in his office. One day the former came into his office, and seating himself before the fire, began scratching his head with unusual violence. By-and-by he said, in his most dramatic tones. 'I wonder what becomes of all niy money, Mr. Minns.' Minn3 stopped hi3 writing and looked at him. His face looked comical enough. Finally he ventured to make a sugges-J ion. , . ' 'Why don't you buy a small book Mr. Choate, and enter in it what you receive, and what you pay out?"1 and then you will know where the money goes.' 'Capital idea, Mr.. Minns, capital idea. Won't 3ou be good, enough to go out and buy me one.' Minns brought "him the book, and Choate sat down and made two or three entries in it. :. t s A few months afterward Minns had the curiosity seeing the book lying upon Mr. Choata's desk to look into it to see how he got along with his accounts, when Io! there were the entries he had made on the day of its purchase, and all the rest was blank. Mr. Choate might have, been a rich man if had had 3ny method in the keeping of his accounts. After his associatiozi with his son in-law, Major Bell, latey deceased, his affairs were much im provedHarper's Magazine. At last his foot is on his native heath, and his name is Moses. In other words Mr. Johnson, who says very naturally that he feels like a breakwater, like a frcedmen, and like one risen from the dead, is on the stamp. Of course our readers know what1 he said. We are afraid the graceless "and lazy reporters have saved themselves a little trouble by taking an old copy of his Speech to telegraph to the country, but still,' that is of nc consequence.' It is all the same. fN. Y. Tribune. ' We rejoice to record the confirmation of General Long3treet by the Senate b' the decided mjority of 25 to 10. The Noes were scarcely equal to the number of bitter speeches made against confirm ation. Every implacable Rebel in the South will be chagrined and thousands and of hearty Unionists cheered by this result. It is a proclamation of amnesty to every one who has in good faith renounced the Lost Cause.-N. Y. Trib. Observations on Shoeing. . No person should eror allow his horse to be shod by a farrier who employs or keeps in his shop the knife used for cutting away the hoof, shaped like a small shovel, and usually braced against the shoulder when used in shovelling away the horn . The Almighty designed Ihe frog as an elastic, insensible cushion, on which the horse should walk , as do the fowl and other animils; yet blacksmiths delight in cutting away this most useful part, and thereby expose . that which is sensitive tn contact with the hard road. No greater folly can be imagined, and to a reasonable m in it only require-i to be noticed to make the error self-apparent. The blacksmith will argue that he must 'cut away the rags,' and some are so ignorant as to declare they cut away the frog 'to prevent pressure on it tha t is to say they cut it away to prevent tha very object of its creation. The frog should never be cut, or any portioni if allowed to take its natural course it becomes a perfect safety-stand, and protection to the foot. In eo'ts the frog may be seen in its full vigor and usefulness; but at the first shoeing the knife goes to work and so it continues while there ia any frog to cut. Pnb. Roral Soeietv.

An Orginal Character. i - . . - A New Jersey correspondent menv tions the existence of an eccentric old farmer in his neighborhood who has tha reputation of bling a frce thiskelrj' and is consequently he subject of mueji scfIlcitude to the village clergyman. Not long since he was taken sick, and, being 1. quite old ..and feeble, his recovery,., was J -coosiaerea a maiter oi uouot, irau xue visit of the minister was desired by the , family. ..Afterthe usual friendlyr greet ings were over the clergyman to-intro dace th objects of, his visit emarkedv 'Friend W - , you are now getting to be an old man, and have lived a care less life; would it net be well to' take, the present opportunitj' to make your peace with God?'; .'Lord bless your soul!', replied the feeble old man, 'He and I hain't never had no fallin' out yet!'., .. . . , This old gentleman's property adjoins a cemetery,., and at one timea;person who was looking at it with a view. to pur chase objected to it on this ground, and asked, if its proximity did not cause him some annoyauce, Nj, indeed, my dear sir, said he; .'the folks in the graveyard aro the peaceablest neighbors I vo got: Harper's, Magazine. .,,,., Immortality. la a recent lecture, Col. Iligginson said that all his life he had believed in immortality; he had nerer 'had a doubt it, and ho was as sure 'as any onj could be that ita3 simply an instinct. People who when in health were the mast horrified at the idea of death. lose all that repugnance as it approaches . lie never know of a person who, ci ihe time of death drew noar, was afraid to die; and he had seen death in many forms, and had talked with many familiar with disease. By the various paths the human race, iu its rprious tamperoments, comes to a knowledge of immortality. In proportion as they attain it, their life becomes larger and widor, and they lire on, regardless of tho littlo fact of death. They feel sure tl.at in whatever sphere thav live thsre is something for us to do, aad it tnaites little difference where we do it. When a person believes ia immortality sin cerely, it makes little diiTorenco to hira whether ho stays hero to do som3 particular work, or goes some where else to do another. lis u like tha sailor on board ship, whoso duty it is not to do his own wi'J, but the will of his maatar. A deep and abiding belief in immortality makes fame and fortuos alike in-diff-jrent to us. When one lives nobly day by day he feels that he m ay ona day look back upon all our joys and emotions here, and sav to his companions in aaoiher sphere, "Do you remember yonder planet where once we went to school together, and what happened in that school?" Just Debts. Thi Taa Wert Bulletin pertinently inquires whether a man legally released from honest debts by the bankrupt law is morally released from their payment if he afterward acquires ample ability to pay? The gospel of honesty needs a new procla mation. The man who teantt to escape doing as na promised, and snatches at outlawry laws, flaws in the contract, lck of witnesses, and all such legal quirks to get rid of a fair, square bargain is foolish to discuss the morality of the thing. He is past that. The law mar give a debtor moral release in some cases, but a simple induiry may throw light on special cases Was the law intended to put the debtor in a position ! to get a living and. pay his debts if he got a bank bilance in his far or, or to help him to get the bank balance while he snaps his fingers at the man who holds his notes like a western Democrat or good Es- ' ser Republican? , . . , The largest man on record was Miles Darden, a native of North Carolina, who was born in that State in 1793, and who died in Tennessea in 1857. - He was seven feet and six inches high, and in 1843 weighed 871 pounds. At hi3 death ho weighed a little orer 1,000 pounds. In 1339 his coat buttonod around three men, each of whom weighed 200 pounds, who walked in it across the square at Lexington. In 1850 it required sixteen and a half yards of cloth , one yard wide to mako him a coat. Until 1353 he was active and lively, and able lo labor; but from that time ha was ' compelled to stay at home, or be hauled about in a; two-horss wagon. His cofi.u was eight" feet long, . thirty-five inches deep, thirty-two inches across the breast, eighteen across the head, and fourteen across ' the feet. It required twenty-four yards of black velt vet to cover taa sides and lid of the coffin. , Miles J Darden was twic-J married, and his children are very t largo, though it is probable that none of them'will ev- ' er reach half the weight of their father. 5 Killing the Borers. . - ' Early ii tha spring, before planting-time arrives .ia'.l the apple-trees should be examined for borers. , A man provided with a ftrocg half-inch gouge and a ' piece of Xo. 14 wire, will eradicate this pest from an ', orchard in a vary lew days, and save the trees from ' total destruction .

A - correspont'sct of a "ear York paper writes: You do not know what temptations to paHy fraud ; you offer to clerks and cash boys in the grat retail stores by putting your change in your purses without counting. It is not more lady-like or grand but simply more silly, if nothing worse, to aflect indifference to the correctness of a business transaction, eren a ' small one. This counsel is sngested by the writer having seen one of the little cash boys in a Broadway store slip a part of the change in his poeket tn his way from tho cashier's desk to the lady customer, who, I regretted to notice, put the rest in her purse without the least examination. A proper caution on her part might possioly have saved that boy from rum. Articles of consolidation on the Fort Wayne, Cincinnati and Jacksoa Railroad with the Fort Wayne, Jackson and Saginaw Road were filed. The new company will be known as the Fort Wayne, Jackson and Saginaw Railroad, with a capital stock of $1,500,030. Each company selects one person , and the two select a third, who with these, shall act as um pires to determine upon the terms of the conversion of the stock of the two companies into the new one. The sinkine of the Britisa man of war, Royal Georgo, in 1782, with all on board, has more than its equal in horror in the recent explosion of the Austrian frigate Redetsky, in the Mediterranean, by which 340 of the 363 persons on board were killed. The explosion was occas oned by some men walking with rough heeled boots over some powder which was laid on the floor of the powder room to dry. , An exchange says the man who takes a paper for a number of years, and then reroses to pay, would steal a passage to heaven in a secret corner of a streak of lightning, and smuggle gold from the streets of New Jerusalem, to buy stumps of half penny cigars.

NEW BOUNTY LAW. -Vf iMDiAKiPOtis, March SCl8. T Jthe Editor of the Indianapolis Journaf. jBiB A preatdeal of -Inquiry is being in ado as to the provision of the amended Bounty act of March 3d, 168. Claim agents liare preatly mlsrep resented its! orerisions. and caused soldiers and their heirs

muca unnecessary expense and trouble. There are but two classes of persons untitled to bounty under this amended act J First, the soldier wnb enlisted for three' years and whose muster-ia aad muster-out showed him to have served less than three years, although he was discharged, by reason ol "expiration of terra of V.servkJe."; This ' class, nnder bj act of July 28tlij l 356, received only filtv dollars. Under the new law they are entitled to fifty more. J'. The second classr tra the heirs of j soldiers who en listed for and ccrved three years, and who, on his re turn home alter discharge, took sick and died frjm disease not contracted in the service. - His heirs, nn der the act of July 2Sth, 1866, received nothing ; now they will receive one hundred dollars. - These are the only parties benefited, by the act of March 3d, 1869. Soldiers should pay no attention to what claim agents eay, keep thoir. discharges in their own poution until, they &uoic from disinterested parties that there is something coming to them. Soldier enlisted after July 13th, 1S64, receive nothing under the act of March 3d, 1869. ;. . Editors in this State will confer a great favor on soljiera and their heirs by publishing this notice.

Answes to Prateh. A correspondent of the New York Independent, writing from Andersonviile, the locality mado infamously immortal by the great pnson pen of forty -four thousand of the boys in blue, in a stockade where the space allowed to each man was one foot by six leet, says : "Many wells still remain which were dug by the prisoners, varying from 17 to 75 feet in depth, now dry, and said nerer to contain much water. At one time thev were tarnishing with thirst. All means had failed to supply them. What could they do ? They had a great and earnest prayer meeting. To God did they cry for water. Sow mark the result. That very night a terrible rain storm came on, such us this 'country sometimes witnesses. The wind howled among i he trees, and the rain poured down in torrents. Amid the darkness of that terrible night, to the rebels, many of our prisoners escaped. The torrents of water gullied deep down yonder hillside, ioside the Stockade. In the morning a pure spring of water was running from that excaraiion ; and it continued to run while the prisoners abode tl.ere. And still this "Providential Spring" gives forth its pure, ever-flowing water. I haTe just tasted of that sacred water. Let skeptics laugh, if they will ; but I choose to believe that God heard their prayer." E. L Oalman, a keeper of a concert saloon, in Chicago,' commit ted suicide yesterday.
