And whereas!, I have, for a long time, been impressed with the importance of educating a certain portion of the poor, for which, in my judgment, there is but little p-ovision made either by Church or State, viz: tlia poor children of parents who are destitute of means, who have no

I bequeath all that tract of land situated in section sixteen, (16) Knight township, Vanderburgh county, State of Indiana, (for the purpose hereinafter stated and for no other, forever,) into the

Hoard of Trustees of the Indiana State Association of Spiritualists and their successors in trust, forever to ana for the 1 several uses, intents and purposes, (hereinafter mentioned) and declared of and concerning the same.

17. In debarring missionaries and ministers I do not mean to cast reflection on any sect or person whatsoever, but as there is such a multitudeof sects and such diversity of opinion amongst them, I desire to keep the tender minds of the children, who are to derive advantage from this bequest, free from the excitements which clashing doctrines and sectarian controversies are so apt to produce. My desire is that all the instructors and teachers in the college shall take pains to instil into the minds of the scholars the purest principles of morality, so that on their entrance into active life they may, from inclination and habit, evince benevolence toward their fellow creatures and a love of truth, sobriety and industry adopting at the same time such religious tenets as their mature reason may enable them to prefer.

Lastly. I hereby nominate and appoint David Mackey and Samuel Orr, executors of this my last will and testament. I recommend them to close the concerns of my estate as expeditiously as possible, and to see that my intentions are strictly carried out and complied with, and I do hereby revoke all other wills by me heretofore made.

INDIANAPOLIS LETTER.

The Barron Case—Anotker Bow— The End Near.*

INDIANAPOLIS,

When I wrote you last night the Senate had not adjourned since it met at 10 o'clock. The Republicans were reading, as parts of their speeches, the evidence which the Democratic majority had refused to allow read by the Clerk, and seemed resolved to keep on all night. They did keep on all night, and till noon to-day, having been in continuous session twenty-six hours, and in that time having ovei hauled the evidence pretty thoroughly. At noon a truce was concluded, which gave the long conflict pause, and adjourned its renewal to Tuesday morning, 10 o'clock, when four hours will be consumed in a final argument by speakers chosen by each side, two hours bein«c allowed to each, with a final fifteen minutes for the "prosecution," which they may either use in a little speech of that length, to sum up in, or add to one of their two hours, and close with a long speech of an hour and a quarter. Then the vote will come,

Here he was clearly wrong, unless his refusal were based upon the mere inconvenience of interrupting a roll call, allowing the appeal to be proper at a better time. But the appeal was suppressed, and thus sprang up a hotter and more threatening quarrel than that of yesterday. The sergeant-at-arms, or whatever officer does the duties of that place, was actually put to work, and a violent collision more narrowly avoided than before. Mr. Mack, I think, means to expedite business, but he is arbitrary, not always clear-head-ed, quite irascible, and disposed to make official power supplement the deficient strength of reason and parliamentary rules. An attempt was made to arraign Mr. Ruddle and censure him, but he "explained" and nothing came of iti After this excitement the House went to work to clear the calendar and passed a grist of local Senate bills, of no general interest, and both bodies adjourned till Monday afternoon.

The Republican city convention to day nominated the following ticket:

Mayor, Gen. Dan Macaulev Clerk John R. Clinton Treasurer, William Coons Marshal, Thomas Amos Assessor, Robert C. Dain.

Feb. '20.

Things begin to look like business in the Senate this afternoon, but the appear

ance is deceptive "The torrent's smoothness ere it dash below To morrow the Burson case comes up by appointment, and then, as Simon Suggs says the "Yeath icUl shake sure." The suppression of the past two days operating on the Democratic sense of having been just a little outwrestled in the fall of Satuidav, will -blow out fierce' ly when the valve is opened again. In the meantime the House bill for the protection of Gsli has been temporarily shelved. It was read the second time this afternoon—there was no morning session in either House—and an attempt was made to suspend the rules for a third reading, and put it on its ps sage, but it failed. I am afraid, if it can't be got up before the bete noir of the Burson case bursts in again that seiners and wasters will have the mastery for another two years of ruin, and by that time there won't be much to protect. The Senate is now debating the House bill for the distribution of the cash in the school fund to the counties. Your readers may remember that I spoke of two bills for the disposition of this money in the House which divide the money among the counties in proportion to population, as was done by the mischievous act of 1857: and one which required the loans to be made from the State Auditor's office in proportion to population, Under the former.the $350,000 distributed in 1858 has yielded pretty much nothing. It has been lent as might have been ex« pected of local offices with personal benefits to reward, to Tom,jDick and Harry, and the Superintendent of Public Instruction counts just as much on the ^yield of our share of Alaska icebergs as upon its nterest. It is gone, as a source of revenue. So will this go. The Sinking Fund plan, which lent more money for thirty vears, and never lost a cent, would, beyond doubt, give the School Fund every bit of interest that $700,000 could pay at the rate fixed. Experience has tested it thoroughly, and the same test has demonstrated the futelitv, or worse, of the other plan. Yet the other plan has

passed the House, and I think will pass the Senate. The Democrats, naturally enough, are for the county plan, for they have no favor for free schools in Indiana, or anywhere else. The Irish element is too strong to allow the growth of that feeling. Sending $700,000 to the counties is depriving the schools of the better part of $5fi,000 of annual income, and that jumps perfectly with Democratic prejudices. Some Republicans favor the bill, because they believe that if the money is retained in the hands of the State Auditor, a considerable portion will not be lent for a year or two, and during that time he will be gathering interest upon its deposit and making an enormous electioneering fund for the Democracy in 1S72. But they forget that the bill for the central loan plan, requires the State Auditor to give notice to the different counties when applications for loans may be made, and if a county's proportion is not applied for within ninety days, the Auditor may lend to anybody who gives the lawful landed security. If any monev still re-nain* he i-= required lo in-

vest it in registered United States* bonds, and he is made responsible, if hetaiU, for any lost interest. Under this arrangement no"money can be,used by the Auditor to accumulate an electioneering fond, and the schools will get what they are entitled to. But as I said, the oountf waste plan will pass, without a chance, and mainly because Republicans are not informed of the provisions of the central loan bill

The House debated this afternoon a resolution about the pay of its clerks and pages, and concluded by leaving the matter stand as in th^ specific appropriation bill, with $3 per day for clerks and assist* ants and $3 for pages. The latter is a senseless allowance. The pages are little boys, who carry papers, bring water and run errands, and would be expensively paid at $3 per week. To pay little fellows of ten the wages of a skilled mechanic with a family tu support, is sheer folly. There is always a superfluity of assistants in these trifling offices, but this session there is more than I ever saw or heard of before. There are five men employed to do lobby work on each side of the Senate

and Mr. Bursop will be unseated, if that chamber, two to keep the lobby gates, and

word will apply to a seat which he has never been allowed to fill. There is a very general impression here that the real work of the session is about ended. The Democrats are getting ready to press their partisan measures, and when the stress comes it will crowd everything else to death. This feeling was so strong this morning that General Stone offered a concurrent resolution that the session should end at once. It wits voted down, however.

There was another row in the House this morning, with the same parties, about the same matter, as that I wrote you about yesterday. Mr. Ruddle wanted the House journal corrected so as to show what he thought to be the correct view of the ground of difference yesterday, and made a motion to that effect. It was moved tc lay his motion on the table. During the call of the ayes and noes on this tabling motion, Mr. Ruddle, at the call of his name, rose to explain his vote. The Speaker ruled, that the explanation was out of order, which is so far a just ruling that if explanations of votes on motions "to lay upon the table" were allowed to expand into speeches,, the rule of ail parliamen ary bodies that "tabling motions" cannot be debated would be nul litied, and a disguised debate grow up under the roll call. But it is so far unjust that it prohibits what has been a recognized proceeding ever since I can remember, and thai is a good deal longer than Mr. Mack has been an inhabitant of Indiana. Any man may briefly explain any vote, though a man may dodge from a legitimate explanation into a speech. Mr. 'Ruddle desired to appeal from this decision and Mr. Mack would not allow it.

the rest to do pretty much nothing. The gate man told me to-day that four of these men had not done fifteen cents worth of work this session. There are at least four clerks whose duties amount to little more that setting around and drawing their pay. One of those— I speak of the Senate—is a ponderous and altiludinous gentleman with a head covered with a mat of rusty, rumpled hair, which looks like an armful of last year's shucks dropped on a pumpkin, who sits nil day at the Clerk's table, doing just nothing at all. No living man has ever seen him do a single moment's work. He makes figures on scraps of paper, and leers vacantly at pretty women. And he draws five dollars a day. If he had a little more sense, he'd "git up and git," so that people should not see that he was a clerk or that he wasn't an ornamental one. But he sits it out from morning till night, with the persevering uselessness of the boy with the season ticket at the theater. The people of Indiana will be $300 the poorer for the polishing of his chair seat. Both Houses are well provided in this respect, but the Senate is best off. Of course, I don't include Will McLean. He is one of three or four who do about all that is done.

A joint resolution was passed by the House this evening, ceding to the General Government the State's interest in the Gettysburg National Cemetery. We have expended about $7,000, with $300 annually for the past few years, in keeping up our portion of that memorable place, and have some interest, nobody knows precisely what, as the fruit of that expenditure. Now Congress proposes to take the entire supervision of all national cemeteries—wisely, it can hardly be doubted— and the need of separate State effort is at an end. To give the General Government the necessary power, a cession is made of separate State interests. Ours was made by this joint resolution. The House is now (late,) getting through its bills on the second reading.

The Senate has passed the County Distribution bill, as I expected. T. T.

IHDIAKAFOLIS,

Feb. 21.

I warned you some time ago that the indications of Democratic action all pointed to a refusal tomakeany provision for the old unsurrendered bonds of 1836, which are a lien on the Wabash Canal and all the other public works of the Internal Improvement era. I believed it the purpose of that party to allow the canal to be sold, for what consideration may appear hereafter. The Senate Finance Committee, though peremptorily instructed to prepare a bill to pay those bonds have sedulously done nothing at all. The speakers of the party, except Hughes, have uniformly held language adverse to any action in that direction. The Carroll Court, as I informed you, has within a week allowed the validity of the lien of those bonds on the Canal, and its attachment and sale are inevitable, however they may be delayed, if payment is not made in cash. But the Democratic Finance Committee is not moved an inch by the realization of a peril which was predicted over and over, and must have been as visible to them as to honester men. Now, to day all doubts and surmises are made certainties. The concurrent Senate resolutions of Mr. Hughes, declaring the State will provide for the unsurrendered bonds, came up to-day in the House, on a majority report of the Committee to which they were referred, recommending their indefinite post ponement. And they were indefinitely postponed. This is final. No pro ision can now be made for those bonds for two years, within which time the canal will be sold, and our creditors, who took it for half their debt, deprived of every shadow of payment. If we refuse to indemnify them we shall richly deserve the opprobrium of "repudiators" and "swindlers," which will cling to Indiana till every head that gave that "ave" vote this afternoon has fattened a century of grave yard worms. No power short of Omnipotence can relieve us of it. It will blacken and blast our good name long after those who brought it upon us are forgotten or remembered only for the infamy they have wrought. Less than $200,000 would protect the canal and its owners from Garrett's judgment, and tke Democracy say that "rather than pay that we will risk the liability to pay ninety times that, or the alternative of State dishonor." The only argument for this deliberate repudiation of our debt, was Mr. Mack's, derived from the oracle of cheap statesmanship and convenient meanness, Mr. Brown. It was that "our creditors took the canal subject to the lien of the old lands, and must abide by their bargain." Such shallow sophis try in Mr. Brown is characteristic. I expected better of Mr. Mack. "Our creditors took the canal subject to the lien." Yes, but with our express agreement that that lien should be discharged by us in the manner prescribed by the Butler bill, and liens not discharged in this manner that is by surrender of the old (or lien) bonds and the acceptance of new canal and five per cent, bonds—should never be discharged at all. What was this but the most positive assurance that the lien of those bonds should never touch our creditors, or impair their right to the canal? It was as plain a bargain as words can make, that if there was any liability anywhere to meet those bond-liens it was ours. We agreed to pay them in a certain way. Our creditors never agreed to pay them at all. To attempt any implication of that kind is to assort the monstrous nonsense that creditors compounding with a bankrupt agree to pay his debts to other creditors. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that so far as our bargain made those liens void for non-surrender, it was unconstitutional. The decision forces us, then, to discharge the liens absolutely. We agreed to do it in a qualified manner. "No," saya the Court, "you can't wipe out

a part of your debt by agreeing that you won't pay it except in your own way." This changes the qualified liability assumed by express contract intoan absolute liability. When Mr. Mack argues I hat we may leave

the canal to pay these liens, he argues that we may lawfully cheat our creditors out of the payment we"made them. There is no honorable road open but to protect that canal for our creditors, or indemnify them for its loss. We agreed to do it, in onr way, which the Court says is not eaoagh. Our creditor* never agreed or expected to do it at all. Our bargain did not cover all the ground, but it covered most of it. and the Court has made it cover every inch, with the alternative of shame and ineffaceble dishonor if we fail. Mr. Mack can't talk away the plain implication of our bargain. The sophistries that will pass with shallow partisans will be hissed by the world of honorable business men, and the historian who shall make np the record of Indiana's action, will draw about this vote the blackest line that hedges the infamy of any community on this continent except Mississippi. It is simply repudiation. It is swindling, as directly and meanly as procuring goods under false pretences. The world will pronounce it no.

The Burson case was resumed, as agreed, this morning, and has taken the whole day. An attempt was made by the Re-

S'Urson's,

ublicans to introduce an affidavit of Mr. but it was defeated, of course. The case was argued by Mr. Brown, for the Democracy, in an hour's opening speech, by Mr. Steele, for Mr. Burson, in a two hours' speech, and by Mr. Brown in closing in an hour and a half's speech, ending -at nearly five o'clock. The lobbies were jammed, the Senate floor gaudy with feathers and laces and gay silks, the doors thronged, the rotunda full, and the excitement as high as I ever remember to have seen it. It can be of no u«e to follow the arguments on either side. They had no influence on the Senate, and might as well have been dispensed with. Mr. Brown was rather more fussy than usual, more ludicrously ungrammatical, more indifferent to the dictionary. In his flounderings he splashed up such words as mortal man never heard before. At least I never heard of "unwanton," which the Senator used for "wanton" in the sense of "unprovoked," or of "faci/iate" for "facilitate," both words in which he seemed to luxuriate, to follow his fashion of coinage, for he repeated them several times. Mr. Brown's literature has been largely derived from Democratic country papers, and it really don't appear to advantage in the presence of ladies who know English from gabble. Theonlv memorable point in the debate was the declaration of Mr Steele that Mr. Brown agreed especially to vote to retain Mr. Burson if he (Steele) would vote to otiHt Sarninghausen. Savs Steele, as he related the affair, "I don't feel safe in trusting to a Democrat's promise without security. What security have I that you will keep your word?" "If I don't, you may denounce me on the floor of the Senate as a perjurer, liar and villain," was the assurance of Mr. Brown. "Now" says Mr. Steele, "he did not keep his word, and I am authorized and do denounce him as a perjurer, liar and scoun drel." That was salty. But Brown took it. That he said what Steele reported nobody doubts, but that he did it with the purpose of deceiving Steele and with no thought of keeping hi- promise, no body doubts ti.liur To doubt that would be a suggestion of sincerity in the Jackson gentleman that he has little claim to.

ADVICES FROM CHINA.

The late China papers ieceived by the Overland Mail report an assault made on Mr. Seward, late American Secretary State, and his party, during a visit to Woochang. The visitors, the North China Herald says, went over the river from Honkow to Woochang, and then proceeded up to the Pagoda. On their arrival they found the usual crowd of boys and beggars, all of whom were clamorous for an annshaw. Of course the party were not provided for such a demand, and after enjoying the view from thair position, commenced a homeward descent. On the way down, however, the boys pelted the ci.. irs with stones, considerably damaging one of them, but discontinued their amusement on being yelled at by the Coolies. Mr. Hobson, Commissioner of Customs, has received a letter of apology and regret from Tasti Hon kow, for the occurence.

A memorial has been presented by Protestant missionaries in China to the diplomatic body at Pekin, deprecating the policy of allowing Chinese authorities to escape from their treaty engagements, and to grant protection to Christian missionaries. The hostility toward foreigners, the memorialists say, in not likely to subside without further violent development, unless the utmost firmuens and energy are employed by foreign powers for its repression.

CITY,

Fabens and associates, and O'Sallivan have a perpetual lease at a nominal price of nearly all the available water front for large vessels around the harbor of Samana. There are no valuable minerals in that section. The Commission landed here this morning, and was formally received by Baez. M.\ Wade explained its character and object. Baez ana Cabinet gave a cordial welcomePresident Baez said that peace and stable government would follow a union with the United States. The people were all anxious for union. The force Cabral was suffered to command were Hayitens, and Hayti was the real governor in the whole matter.

He had information that an incursion was to be made while the Commission was here, to influence them, and from his agents he had learned the whole movement. He expressed the hope that the Commission could examine all classes, and promised to extend every facility. Five of the party came across the island from Samana to this place. Tne Commission find, thus far, no appearance of public disturbances or dissensions. The season is very healthy. The officers and crew of the United States steamers Tennessee, Nantucket and Yaniic, now in this haibor, are all well. The Commodore will be here a week longer, and will prob ably visit Azqua nest. The stories of trouble'here are untrue. The Commission int nd to start for home in about four w«-eks. Baez has agreed to give safe conduct to Cabral, or any of his offis, to come here and meet the Commission, and messengers will be dispatched at once.

Unless Wachstetter makes a confession, there will be much mystery about the whole transaction, as there were no direct witnesses present.

The affair caused the wildest excitement in the neighborhood, the citizens of which visited the house of the murdered man and offered such assistance and consolations in their power to the afflicted widow, who is left with five children. This is the first murder of record in this city since that of the negro John Fleet, which occurred a year ago last September.

Christie was a man of considerable property, had many friends, and was of a peaceful disposition when not intoxicated.

Both men have for a number of years past been engaged in this cily in the saloon business, and are widely known. Wachstetter was formerly the owner and proprietorof the Concordia House, which, it is said, he disposed of to Christie. A grudge grew out of the transaction, and it is supposed to have engendered the bad blood that lead to the murder. For a year or more past Christie has kept the Union Saloon.

A MAN SHOOTS ANOTHER IN COLD BLOOD.

The Cause Shrouded in Mystery.

Beth the ludertd sad Murderer Well Known Citizens of

:adianapolis.

About eleven o'clock last night one of the most horrible murders occurred that has happened in our midst for several months past. Two men, Got lieb Wachstetter and Albert Christie, met in front of the Union saloon, on Louisiana street, between Illinois and Meridian, and commenced a discussion about tome former business relations they had had. From there the two men adjourned to the "Concordia" saloon, where Christie drank so freely as to become considerably intoxicated. On leaving there the barkeeper told Wadsetter to take care of Christie, as the latter was highly drunk. Wachstetter replied that he would take care of him. The two men started off with linked arms, and apparently on good terms with one another, [joing toward Christie's home, No.

Policeman Armal, hearing the shots, was the first to run up. He found Christie standing there, but Wachstetter was gone. Christie asked Armal to take him home. On the way the officer asked him whoBhot him, to which he replied, "Go'tlieb Wachstetter," and at the gateway of his residence he fainted away from loss of blood, and in a few moments afterwards died.

The Coroner was notified immediately, and he at once proceeded to impannel a jury, who viewed the body and then adjourned until this afternoon. Dr. Kirkpatrick was present, and made a trsory examination. He found thai Christie's head was severely battered up, as if he had been struck by a slung shot. A pistol shot wound was also discovered on the leftside, between the third and fourth ribs, in the immediate region of the heart. The doctor probed the wound and found the bullet. He gave it as his opinion that death was caused by internal hemorrhage, arising from this wound

After the affray Wachstetter went to the Jackson Saloon, kept by his brother, where he stated that be had had a fuss with a man and had knocked him down several times, had probably hurt him. and for that reason told his brother that he had better go and give himself up. His brother went with him to the Station House, where Wachstetter surrendered himself to the authorities. He showed our reporter several cuts on his arm, which he alleged had been done by a knife in Christie's hands. On the latter, however, no weapons were found.
