RICHMOND PALLADIUM
Friday Morning, April IL, issA

Extra SESSION. OF CosGREss--The editor
Il the New York Herald is urgiag the eau Oh
n extra session of Congress, to take into
,onsideration our relations with Spain. He
ssseru that three meetings of the Cabinet have
5een held 10 consult upon the proprieiy OF is
suing a call for the assembling Of Congress
,ha. Marcy favors the call. and that Davis is
riolen,ly in favor of doing something. The
obiec, of the Herald's editor is to hsye Con-
yress authorize reprisals against Spain. and
light it out to the taking-af Cuba The hurry
!or this matter, in his opinion is. that before
Congress will meet in its regular session. there
nav possibly be peace in Europe, and an at
.empt TO secure an European balance Of power
N the American waters would drive us into
/. war with allied Europe. We suppose he
thinks it would be easier to whip Spain alone.
while England and France are engaged with
Russia, than where all would be combined
.gainst the United States.
An extra session Of Congress would hardly
appreciate SO highly the acquisition OF Cuba
as does the editor of the Herald Congress
would hardly entertain so many fears OF Eu-
rope acquiring the "balance OF power in
American waters, as does Mr.. Bennett. and
nence we would regard call for an extra ses-
ion as worse than useless. The Administra-
ion has got into difficulties with Cuba, and
ct the Administration get out OF It as best 1t
can The people Of this country want no war
With Spain, nor do they desire the acquisition
Of Cuba.

The Apportionmeat-

The adjournment of the Indians Legislature
has left things in worse plight than people
outside of the State were a. first aware of Ii
seems that they did not re-appor;ion the State
for representation. and that tie present apPor-
tionment viii expire before the meeting of
another session, there viii thus be no legal
rule of representation TO govern the next cleo
ton. the Governor having no authority 10 pro-
vide one On the whole, it must be evident, that
the course Of the Democratic minority IN for
cling an adjournment, SINE die, was purely
revolutionary in character, and entirely antag-
onis;ical to the principle upon which our
State and national constitutions are based
the right Of the majority to govern.-Ps'ia-
delphia Worth Aneriean, Esd.
The Americans is mistaken in saying that the
course of the minority forced an adjournment
sine de- before the apportionment bill was
passed The ConststutiOn limits the session,
and though the ''course of the minority de
feated the apportionmen, bill. it did not cause
the premature adj adjournment- The American
is wrong to the means by which the result
was produced. but right a. 10 the responsible
ty for the result. The ''old line Democratic
minority must bear the odium of the anomo-
lous condition Of our system of representation.
The country will Judge from the facts
The House. with decided Republican ma
jority. passed an apportionment bill on the rec
ommendasion of Committee consisting of
members of both parties. Mr.. Weir, an .-old
liner" though formerly. we believe. Wing.
was chairman of the committee, and he gave
his approval to the bill. both in committee
and afterwards, when it was under discussion
in the Hou e. The principal objection urged
against it was that it allowed the old line
democrats too small representation In both
branches of the Legislature. Yet it gave
them more than their vote last fall entitled
them to- Absurd as such An objection was
that party in minority from twelve TO
fifteen thousand votes, should have an equal
represen,ation-yet such acas the objection.
and as far as we heard, the only one. As was
to have been expected. and as was right and
just, the bill passed in spite Of such senseless
opposition and went to the Senate in which
the old liners had majority OF two.
In the Senate the House bill was amended
by the substitution OF the present apporuon-
ment law. altered little for the worse. We
have not room now to point out It's outrageous
unfairness, but one instance will suffice
Blackford county. with about five hundred
voters. (old line democra,ic) was allowed one
representative, and TIppecanoe, (Repubcan)
the third or fourth largest county in the State,
with forty five hundred votes, was allowed the
same. Here is another instance as shown by
the carefully prepared table of our friend Of
the New Albany Tribune.
1T will be noticed that the four democratic
counties. which follow, elect each two Repre-
sentatives in 1856 and 1860. the years when
Senators In Congress are to be elected, and
one each III 1858. when no L. S. Senator is
to be elected

DEATH OF JosEPH G.. MARsHALL-We an
nounce this morning, with unfeigned regre,
the decease of Hon. Joseph G. Marshall. OF
Indiana. This distinguished gentleman died
yesterday morning at the residence Of Col.
here on his way to the South. where he pro-
posed spending some time for the benefit Of
his health.
Mr.. Marshall was native of this State,
having been born in Fayet'e county. He re-
moved wnen young to Indiana. and made
Madison his place of residence, where he
practised his profession with great success
As lawyer. he was one o: the most power
ful advocates in the West; his abilities being
very superior, both when addressed 70 tire dis
cussion of the most abiruse legal points and
in appealing to the *ympathies OF jurors
/ As politician Mr. Marshall obtained nc great
degree of ersinence; his answering devotion
TO whig principles in Democratic State.
having hindcred his attaining those positions
TO which his eminent talents entitled him.
He however o"enpied several stations of honor
and during last winter was prominent can
dldate for United States SENATOR.
The ecause of Mr. Marshall's death was Con-
sumption. with which he has been suffering
for some time. It's ravages had been stayed
by Mr.. NJ having refrained Of late form any
active participa ioa in the active duties Of his
profession Recently he made most power
full argument before the Supreme Court at Ind
annapolis, the excitement attending which
completely prostrsted his strength. Leaving
his home he reached Louisville en- route for the
South. and here at the house of An attentive
friend died.

WAR THE ONLY SALVATION OF THE ADMINS
rRArIoS-The pro slavery members OF the
Administration party now IN power at ash
ington, finding itself deserted by its friends,
md about to sink into its original elements,
vith the contempt of all good men upon it,
leem that something must be done to revive
It's sinking fortunes. To this end the mon.
rs the organ of the powers that be, Is daily
Engaged in denuncation Of the "bitter wrongs
md outrages" which have been perpetrated
3painst the honor and fair fame Of our nation
bv the Cubans. No act Of aggression on her
part has vet been committed but the Cubans
are to be provoked into some act upon which
mother lie can be founded, which shall be
Construed TO mean that ''state OF war exists.
md thus permit the valiant commander on
and and sea. Gen. Pierce. to engage in war
which will excite the sympathy of our people.
and cause them to rally around him IN de-
lensive war The lettet writers from Wash
inae,on declare that war is now the subject OF
almOst every conversation in the streets OF that
eity. and that serious apprehensions are enter
.ained Of = difficulty at an early day. 1t IS

All will recollect that such was the course
ursued by Mr.. Polk in getting up the Mexi-
an war. and there is an additional induce
lent for Mr.. Pierce to act thus upon his own
esponsibility. The next house of Represen-
.tives will oppose all tillibustering crusades
lgainst Cuba. and war can only be gotten up
y committing the Government before the
meeting of Congress.
The people. were it possible. should arrest
zen. Pierce. punish him for an attempt to
provoke a quarrel" and bind him over to
leep the peace" There should be some more
summsry process in our government to arrest
he reckless course Of those clothed with Ex-
ecutive powers. than that Of Congress. True,
all Presidents and their Cabinets would act
srictly under the powers delegated to them
,uder our constitution. the controlling influ-
nee of Congress would be sufficient; but too
irequen,ly have our rulers assumed to act in
dependent of and in the vacation of Congress.
50 as to place the representatives of the peo-
pe in position that requires them to act en-
tirely contrary 10 the manner in which they
would have acted had they been consulted in
-he original state of facts. An at'emptis now
being made to thus place the next Congress.
but it is to be hoped that rebuke will be
gisen to those who are striving to eomn,it our
Government to a wrong.
