Election of Speaker.

The UouPe of Representatives, yesterdray morning, with great unanimity, elected Hon. William II. EngfiMj, of Scott county. Spenker, in place of Hon. J. W. Davis, resigned. Tho election of Mr. English will be gratifying news to his numerous friends all over the State. He will make a most excellent presiding officer, and will, in a great degree compensate for the loss of Mr. Davis, who is one of the best, if not the very best, presiding officer in the Union.—Stale Sentinel, March 7.

Nothing, Mr Brown, can atone for the treat ment your party gave to "the beet presiding officcr in the Union but the inordinate love of money and place makes many of your prominent men do almost any thing for self promotion. We tuke it that Dr. Davis was right, in the muss kicked up about tho adjournment, but ho luid overlooked Owen and remembered, as lie ought, two whigs, in appointing a committee, nccording to tho rulos, then he must be assailed by his own household of faith, and treated iu such manner that duly required him to leave the place ho filled so well, leaving it even at the sacrifico of the public intereats, but preserving his self-respect, and the dignity of the post he held. You area very considerable set of intriguing, gouging, and unscrupulous democrats, Mr. Brown, and if you cannot find a whig to abuso and outrage, you are pretty sure to hunt up a victim from some quarter. Go it. while you can—the "Young Democracy" hare the track.

Democracy

Wo are surprised that the Journal editor did not inform "Great West," that, the name of Gen. Jos. LANE, "ihe Marion of the Mexican war" was just an "new" an that of DOUQIAS, or any other gentleman. In the name of Gen. Lane, wo protest against this letter-gouging, which the "Liitlo Giant" of Illinois has got up in his favor.

A DJSTINCTION

WITHOUT A

DirrtJiEXOE.—The

editor of the Terre-Haute Journal is opposed to the State or tho General Government., entering into any vast system of Internal Improvement, but ho is willing that "the General Government assUt and encourage this iadividual enterprise by proper and judicious appropriations from the public domain." *A11 right. We see that the editor would not suffer UNCLK SAM to pay the hands for clearing and excavatiug a road, and laying the rails, but UNCLE SAM might yit* tho "material aid" to some other person, who could settle the bills just as well I Wo do not know about that "judicious" word which is thrown in, but it too, must be right—"considering the source from whence it came." We are not disposed to be particular with our neighbor, so loi»g as he can find any excuse to disregard a principle which I does not set well. Let him have latitude.

Wo have recently seen an anecdote which ran about as follows: ••Some person once called on a Quaker, known to be very generous, to get soma aid in building a Methodist Church. He remarked, it is against eur principles to give money to build churches, but said he, with a mild tone of voice, 'take this $50 00 and build a good fence around it.'"

That was a smart Quaker

Missixo.—The Cincinnati Atlas has the following: Mr. N. W. NunneDy, a merchant from Illinois, about 15 miles from Terre-Haute, Ind., ram* to this city Monday, the 8th inst., and purchased goods in various stores to the amount of about #2,000, paying for them at the time of purchase.

The editor (of the Express) has been pleased to call Judge Smith a Doctor of the law, before this, indeed we did not know, that his honor, had the degree of LL. D. conferred upon him. This is doubtless true, considering the source from whence it came, and we rejoice that it is so, for no man in Indiana is better entitled to tljC'appellation than Thomas L. Smith.

The editor of the Express did not say that Judge Smith was "a Doctor of the law," as the editor of the Journal well knows. We called Thomas L. Smith "Dr." because he had studied medicine, before he ever dabbled iu the law, which fact, wo presume, the Journal editor never knew and we presume Judge Smith could bleed and blister a patient as readily as he ever did a client. We hope brother McLean will not misrepresent us.

The Journal compliments Dr. Judge Smith as follows "Ho is a sound lawyer and profound judge and it is to be regretted, that he could not permit his name to go before the Convention, as a candidate for the nomination, for re election to tir-ut post, which he has so ably filled to the credit of the State, HIS PARTY and himself."

That's a prccious confession. The Judge filled his office to the credit of his party! This is what we object to. To be a good democratic judge, the party must be propitiated, served, and always remembered We thank the Journal for the houest confession, and hope the editor will stick to that text during the canvass.

8o far as Vigo is concerned, Mr. B. you make a great mistake. The whigs of Vigo took no such ground. The only resolution upon this subject which they passed, was as follows.— Will you please make tho correction?

Resolved, That we welcome the great Apostle of Libortv. Louis KOSSCTU, to our hearts and homes. While wo admire him fur his wisdom, his persuasive eloquence, his personal daring, and his untiring energy, we "clnsp him to our hearts with hooks of steel," for liis high and holy devotion to the cause of Republican Liberty. God speed him in his glorious mission

FKIOHTKCL MORTALITY.—The Jonesborough (Tenn.) Democrat, of the 10th ult., states that a few days previous, a disease similar to the cold plaguo, broko out in the family of Rev. Wm. Reed, of Washington county, of which three of his children died within a few hours after they were attacked. A fourth child was attacked with this mysterious disease while returning from the funeral, and died shortly afterwards. Tho Democrat states that Adam Sligar's family also suffered from the same disease. Also, that others have been attacked with the same malady. The Democrat says: "It is fearful in its operation in a few hours hurryiug those it attacks from earth, in spite of erery remedy our physicians have yet prescribed."

CT The business on the Railroad seems to be rapidly increasing. From seven hundred dollars per week, the receipts have increased to $1300 00. $1500 00 and perhaps eighteen hundred dollars per week. A packet is now runniug between this place and Lafayette, which brings all the travel from Indianapolis to that place e»a Terre-Haute. There is also a regular packet from this place to St. Louis, and boats most all the time going down the Wabafih, so Terre-Hauto is on the line of travel from Indianapolis to any place northwest, west, or southwest of the State Capital.

LEGISLATIVE.

With due diligence, it is thought that the legislature might have finished all its business another mouth, and avoided an adjournment. "When the members go back, they .will likely spend most of the summer at Indianapolis, making a session so long as to greatly increase the expense. There was no help, however, for what has been, and may be done. The other party have all the power, and could do as they please. The people must remember their extravagance, and hold them to strict accountability.

Mr. J. A. Lis'ton could riot ogtee Vith his associates in simplifying the laws, and resigned and Mr.Lucien W. Barbour has been elected in his place. The "commission" is regarded as very nearly a failure.

The House came within two votes of abolishing capital punishment The revenue bill for this year imposes a tax of 20 cents on the SI00, and 50 cts. poll. Last year it was 30£ cents. This coming down was not because the public interest permitted it, but because the party in power wanted to make a few votes. They are very cute in election times

BAD NEWS

FBOM

PANAMA.—It is estimated

that about four thousand Californiabouna passengers are awaiting passage up the coast. It is stated also that twelve to fourteen deaths occur per day in the American Hospital at that place. Every attention possible is bestowed upon the sick. The Masonic Order is doing much to relieve the distress of many of their Order. Rev. Mr. Rowell, a missionary, is also unremitting in his attentions to the sufferers.

A large number of condemned vessels were loading with passengers at Panama, at high rates for San Francisco, the great majority of which, it is to bo feared, will never reach their port of destination, while two-thirds of the balance will be likely to consume from four to six months in making the passage. As they are in nearly every instance badly provisioned and poorly watered, much suffering must be experienced amongst those who are so unfortunate as to take passage in them. We learn that $250 are being freely offered for deck pas sages on the steamers.

STRONG ATTACHMENT.—We heard lately repeated, says the Brookville American, the grounds of a strong and devoted attachment. A young and beautiful, but poor widow was about to marry au old, rich widower. Her friends wished to know what she was about to marry him for. She feelingly replied—"pure love—I love the ground (meaning farm, probably) on which he walks, and the very house in which he lives." There is platonic love for you. There is none of your school girl foolishness in that.

D" Ourclever neighbor, COENWKLL, has anew stock of goods, which he is anxious to exhibit to public inspection, on the persons of wellmade gentlemen and he thinks he can make any one look well in a garment of his make.— He is so used to crooking, that a friend of his has a standing bet, that he can fit a scythe handle and nibs, or a hempbrdak, on the Jirst trial. We shouldn't wonder. His Hungarian styles, cassimeres, vesting, and cravats, are "perfect loves"—call and see if they aint.

Call and lookthrough arich and extensive stock of Millinery goods, aud see if it be not the very place to purchase all such thiugs as they keep.

----->A runaway and smash-up came off Monday evening with a wagon and two horses.— The vehicle was left against the trees at Dr. Clippinger's corner, and one horse went down 4th street, while the other, with a flying sin-gle-tree, came round on Market street, and after going close to two doors, as if entering, was caught on the pavement at Farrington's corner. Those who saw the performance got out of the way in time. One of the horses shattered one leg, and will die, if he is not killed. ———————

THE RIVER.—The Wabash is now very high, overflowing all the bottom lands. The ferry boat has to be used from the west end of the bridge to the bluff. The water rose one foot Monday night, which is a tremendous rise at the present stage of the river. Still, a higher rise is reported from above.

Several steamers have been at the landing since our last, and are now plenty on the Wabash. All of the freight on this river, will likely go out this rise. =======

ANOTHKR.—James White, a shoemaker, living in Baltimore, while drunk, March 6, cut the throats of his daughter, aged J-5, and his son, aged three years, and then set the house on fire, and afterwards cut his own throat. All three were burnt to a crisp! His wife left him on Saturday.— He cut the children's throats with an axe. The boy's skull was also crushed in.

A. P. Willard, the candidate for Lieut. Governor, possesses talent of the highest order and is one of the most eloquent speakers in the State. He served as a member of the last Legislature with ability, being Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means.—Richmond Jeff.

We believe he invented the "ways and means" by which Dunning's notorious sale of the Georgia Lands was confirmed by the legislature. Some of his ways and means, we should think, are not very acceptable to the people, and they will likely require him to "sign off" and repent, before trusting him again.S

They have sown the storm and must reap the whirlwind harvesting a crop that will ruin them the first season under the new constitution. The adjournment has not even the excuse of a "case of small pox" at Palmer's.

O^T Reuben J. Dawson, of DeKalb, is the democratic elector in the 10th district. The Fort Wayne Sentinel, says the democrats in that quarter will not vole for Mr. Dawson, as they have no confidence in the man nor his democracy. If Mr. Dawson's name is not taken from the ticket they threaten to vote for the whig elector. We commend the democracy of the 10th to Jas. S. Fraser, of Kosciusko, who will do just what is right in the pretni&es.

SEP They have bad another masquerade and fancy dress ball at Indianapolis, which went off in fine style, an interesting account of which is in the State Journal of Saturday. And by the way, we take this occasion to say, that the Local of that paper makes an excellent editor in his line, which we think would make that paper much sought for. If it be DAVISSOK, be is just the man to do his part, always to the best advantage. He is A No. 1.

OCT The bill making Land Warrants assignable is still bandied back and forth between tlyi Senate and the House. When it is up in the House, we believe that occasion is taken to make speeches upon any other subject. The last we heard of the bill is under date of March 5, and is as follows

Last Days of the Session.

Just before the recent recess of our State Legislature, some rare things occurred, which are not reported in the regular proceedings. The correspondent of the Madison Banner, under date of March 6, gives the history of the affairs. It is rarerichf and as follows:

Representatives that it had resolved to in- °ot®s °r written description can give you a

sist on its amendments to the bill makin military land warrants assignable, and asked for a committee of conference.1

On motion of Mr. Shields, the Senate insisted on its disagreement to those amendments, and appointed Messrs. Shields. Smith, and Feldi, a committee of conference on its part.

morning amotion was made to reconsider!

I and that the House elect a new committee.! The under current was a movement to) oust English from the committee but to retain or rather re-elect the others.

Robert Diie Owen advocated the motion, principally on the ground that the Speaker made the appointments from those I unfriendly to the adjournment, quoted Jefferson's manual, and put the matter on a petty parliamentary quibble. English, who was well aware of the true motive of the movement, declared the motion was

Owen was disappointed by being excluded from the committee. Such a rich and edifying personal squabble—so piquant, pointed and personal—has not yet taken place, as that which ensued between these gentletaen. The whigs, of course, were immensely tickled and entertained. It would be impossible to picture the excitement and confusion in the hall—but after a general "free fight" and all sorts of criminations and re-criminations among the democracy, the motion to reconsider was put and carried. Some whigs voted aye, so did the democracy, to shake off English.

Dr. Davis, immediately left the chair? called English to it, and wrote out his resignation as Speaker. He made a speech and declared so uhjparliamentiary and extraordinary a course amounted to a direct and severe censure on him and he could no longer occupy the chair with honor. Speeches and motions of all sorts followed in chaotic conftlsiou till the House adjourn ed at noon.

In the afternoon a motion was made that the House proceed to elect a Speaker The nyes and noes were called, and the motion prevailed. By this time the Locofocos concluded to hold a caucus, and so moved and voted for an adjournment, but it was lost. Immediately another motion to adjourn was mode and the ayes and-noes called-—lost. A third time, the same motion was made, and the roll called again. By this time, the Locofocos were all whipped into tlie traces, and vo ting aye, the House adjourned.
