Ix the House of Representatives en Friday last, the Speaker decided thai two-thirds of a quorum of the House for doing business emild, by tbeir vote, dispense with tbe constitutional provision requiring every bill to be read by sections on three several days. An appeal was taken from tbe decision, but pending tbe debate on the appeal, tbe motion to suspend the rtiie was withdrawn and no decision was had on the appeal to tbe House.

This is an important question, for should tbe Supreme Court differ with Mr. Speaker Petitt, every bill passed under his ruling would be void.

The Constitution provides that two-thirds of each House shall constitute a quorum for doing business. The House of Representstives consists of one hundred members.— Bixty-aevea members, therefore, is a quorum and can do business, and can do all kinds of business, fifty-one of them voting affirmatively, can pass a bill or joint resoHutiou. A majority mb transact ordinary business, but it would take tbe whole sixty-seven to expel a member, and to suspend the rule requiring a bill to be read on three days by sections.

The argument of Mr. Speaker Petitt, that the Constitutional Oonvwtion would not have dono a thiog so absurd as to require sixteen more members to vote to take up and put a bill on its passage than is necessary to pass it, is specious but aor sound.

The practice which has grown up of suspending this rule so frequently is in itself directly opposed to the spirit of tbe ConstitUH tioo, which only contemplated a suspension in case of emergency and in three cases out of four in which tbe rule has been suspended there was no real emergeooy. But there is no remedy tor this practice as eacb House is tbe exclusive judge of such emergency.— Then If it is true tbat the Constitutional provision was adopted to prevent hasty legislation and as a check on arbitrary majorities, it would seem iu%i the decision of Air. Speaker Petitt was clearly wrong.

Section fourteen ot the Constitution says:

wjtb.

yers,

TEBRMADTE, INDIANA. JANUARY 18. 18

"Either House may puuish its members, and riot the State ud Unary Oom mitt

may, with the concurrence of two-third*, expel a member." Ar.d acootding to Mr. Speaker's ruling, forty.five members bei^? twe-thhds of a quorum could expel a member. Does any spe believe that the Convention ever intended such a proceeding that, and yet it i* a legitimate deduotion from his ruling.

Section twenty-one which bas reoeived a .. ., construction by the Supreme Court, has the

Section 11, says "two-thirds oi each

T5E 0»d.r.ign.J Guanli.. of li".1?b1que*-

I.I#JMN&J. IMMM*! OOF.

In order to judge conoctiy ol tbe inten- however, that tbe election of three oew Dition of that Conventien, we must first in- rectors is legal, and that they are entitled to quire into their object in adopting section hold the positions conferred upon them by

day it is introduced into tho House. Bills unless of great importance, are not printed, and the only means members hare of as* certainiog their provisions, is from the reading of the bill by the Clerk. And if the rule requiring bills to be read by sections on three several days is dispensed with the bill is read twice by its title, and only road by sections on its final passage. And hence, members are, in suoh cases, called upon to vote upon a bill tbe first time they hare heard it read without time to examine its provisions, or for reflection. And hence, if the Speaker a ruling is correct a here majority may at any time defeat this constitutional provision.

It may be said that sixty-seven members oould do the same thing under tbe old ruling true, but if sixty-seven members say, by their vote, that thay are ready lor action on a bill, it shows either, that the bill is very well understood, or tbat a great emergency exists for action—forty«fire members so voting shows neither the one nor the other— especially is this so on hasty questions where majorities have but little regard for the rights of minorities.

Editorial Correspondence hrniAKAFOus, Jan, 12. 1865.

On Wednesday, when tbe members of tbft Senate and Ilouse me*-in jsint Convention foth* purpose o{ electing &at$ Agent, Ca« nal Trustee, Librarian and Prison Directors, the Democratic members deolined putting in nomination candidates for Directors of tbe Northern Prison, oo the alleged ground, that two of tbe existing incumbent# were entitled to hold their plaoe for two years longer. The Convention, however, refused to entertain resolutionsdeoUring such to be Itttoplnlon, and the election was proceeded with, which resulted in the selection of Hugh H. Hannah, of Wabash countyjOol, Dodge, of Kosciuseo, and Cirleton E. Shipley, of Delaware.

The law regulating the management of the Southern Prison, provides that one Director shall retire every two years, and another shall be elected in his stead. But in the establishment of the Northern Prison, this provision seems to have been overlooked, and It becomes the duty of the Legfsla ture to elect thrtt Directors every two years. Thus all retire in oae case, while in the other only one of them does so. The Demo* oratic members, however, bold that it was the intention of the law-makers to provide for the retirement of one Direotor every two years, as in tbe oase of the Southeru Prison, and propose making a legal question of it. Henoe their refusal to place their candidates before the Convention. It is quite clear

Letter from Indianapolis^

LIOI61AT1VS.

Your senior—by the wny, one of (Mtmoet effirant members of the House--gives you nil th- nolstioal news. A caucus for the nomination of tbe various State effioes filled by the Legislature, was held last night, by the Union members. The sgony is now over. The canditaces are selected, and many disappointed gentlemen will go home ana chew tbe cud of bitter reflection at leisure. Some will regret the expenditures for golden seal champagne and whisky raw, which were deemed expedient to secure the influence of this or that member, and damn the evil gestae that induced them to rely upon the pledges or friends. The nominations give general satisfaction, though I regret, very much tbatrJobnny Gspra was notobo.ssn Agent of State. He was the man for the place, and as an tfficcr would have done credit to the State.

The Joint Resolution offered In tbe House bv Mr. Meredith, tc strike out the article In our State Constitution, prohibiting the Imnaigratiau of negroes to Indiana and making it a penal ofisnce to give them employment, attracts general attention, and will produce a commotion. Tbe citiole is a dead letter and will always remain

be expunged from the record. The p*y of members, you know, is only three dollars per diem. Yesterday the House resorted to an expedient to raiae the wind by allowing each member $100 for buying sta« tiouery, etc., so that the economically disposed may put seventy-five dollars in their pockets. Inasmuch as ibeir pay Is hardly Rufficient to defray board bills Baying nothing of occapioeal dissipation, they can hardly be censured (or thk uoique manner of increasing their receipts.

Tbe lobbies of the Hou!»e and Penate are orowded from morn till nigh, though I un« derstaud tbere rew professional lobby members burrowing around this session.— There is no Bank Bill, or measure of similar importance, where'money is made by sharpers, to get through, and consequently there is rather more indiffutence in regard to the proceedings cf tbe General Assembly than usual.

It is rather strange that these Republican tickets sflluld be concealed uuder tho oarpet in the bed room where the Dr. "changed hit clothes/' end near where tbe ballot-box was left,'and we should like to see the explanation of the Dr. on this point. We learn tbat a conversation afterwards occurred betweeo tbe wife of the Dr. and the voung woman whose testimony/ Is given above, in regard to the finding of ine tickets concealed under the carpet. Tbe girl said to the Doctor's wife, that she believed tho Dr. placed the tickets under tho carpet. To which Mrs. Hickson replied, tbat she believed so too.otberwlse he (the Dr.) would not have "colored up so," when questioned in regard to them. Tbe idea of finding Republican tickets, in tbe bed room of a democrat,"scd under the carpet, when no person occupied said roem, but said democrat, and when tbe ballet-bex was near by, and that on tbe mornlog after tbe election, Is rather a novel one,and almost induces us to believe io spiritualism.
