that he is amply qualified. 1t is an impor-

EXTRA SEssIoS.-The Fusion papers of
the State are very anxious to have an Extra
Session of the Legislature this winter. The
people have had trial of the Legislation of
the present members, and have repudiated
what they have done, and we see no use in
calling them together again, for there is no
probability that they will favor the passage
of any better laws than they did at the last
winters session. A large majority of the
{ people in this part of the State are opposed to
AN Extra Session. They have no wish to see
the present members authorized to legislate
for them again.-PaOi EAGLE.
Weekly Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1853-1861, 1855-12-13


LIVING IN WAsHINGToN.-There are many
thousands of the good people of the United
States who are thoroughly convinced that the
per diem of a member of Congress is entire
ly too high; that it not only affords him the
means Of living in an cxtravagant style, but
that IN spite of that extravaganza, he is able
to hoard up large sum of money every ses-
sion. To know what foundation there is for
such conviction, we have::only to repeat a
remark which we heard yesterday, and which
was made by member of Congress to the
keeper OF one of our fashionable hotels.
Sir" said the envied eight dollar per day
recipient 81 want board aud lodgings for
myself, wife. child and servant. NV nav
you know, is about $24O month. am
perfectly willing that you should take the
whole OF it. but don't bring me in debt"
This may sound like jest, but it is sober
reality reality which many member has
an experimental pocket knowledge of. The
rent Of rooms, in desirable situations. in
many instances, are ridiculously high; and
appear to be imposed with the view of de-
prlving the unfortunate occupant Of the abil-
ity to make his expenses square with his re-
ceipts. From SIS to $25 per month is the
average price asked for the rent of acommo.
dious bedroom. A handsomely furnished
parlor commands from $50 to $50 per month
We are well aware that prices are regulated
by the law of demand and supply, and that
1t Is unreasonable to expecta landlord to
take low price when higher one can be as
readily obtained. But in an eager, uncalcu-
iatlng desire for large gains, people are apt to
overreach themselves; aud we feel quite sure
that If the charges of our hotel keepers and
the landlords Of furnished rooms were redu.
eed to reasonable figure, the number of Wis
Itors to the federal capital would be quadru-
pied every year, to the great pecuniary benefit
OF all classes Of the community Wask. IN

ATROcIoUs MURDER IL New ORLEANS
We have Just heard Of most atrocious
murder. which was committed last evening,
between the hours of 3 and O'Clock, at the
Marine Hotel, on the Levee, between the
Markets in the Second District A difficulty
occurred between a Spaniard N Siellian' and
a nan supposed to be an Irishman, whose
name We could not ascertain. The wife OF
the latter came IN, and drew her husband
away. 1t appears, however, that De re-
turned and went up stairs. Meanwhile, MS
wife. alarmed at his absence, went back 10
the hotel. and was met by some parties al
the door. who informed her that "it was no
use. her husband was dead"
The deceased was stabbed through the
heart. and after his death, was brought down
stairs. aud thrown into dark ailey-way'
where he vas found cold and llfeless Traces
of blood were found from the room where
he was murdered to the spot where the muir
derer had placed his body. As soon as the
alarm was given, the police We're immediate
" on the spot aud all parties who We're pre-
sent in the room at the time were arrested
The murderer has not been arrested. We
understand, however, that the police are oil
his track.-N D. Delta, Noe. 20.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT IN ENGLAND.-The
london Times Of the 18th ult, says:
On Saturday evening shocking accident
occurred to Mr.. Fyffe, master lighterman,
of Union street, Deptford. The unfortunate
gentleman had arrived by train at the Dept
ford StatiOn and was in the act of descending
the fight of geometrical stairs. He had not
proceeded many steps, keeping hold of the
banisters( which are somewhat low, when, on,
reaching a turning, he by some means over
balanced himself, and fell upwards of eigh-
teen feet on the stone pavement below. On
being picked up. he presented frightful
spectacle, the back portion of his head being
literally smashed. He was Immediately con-
veyed to ST Thomas's Hospital, but just pre-
vious to the arrival of the train, he expired.
Deceased was about fifty years of age, and
was very generally known througout the city,
his father having held similar appointment
under the East India Compano.

0The Chicago Press says that on Mon
day last the Illinois Central RAILROAD Com.

nine thousand seven hundred and fifty -one

per cent. of the gross earnings of the road
This IS the first instalment of fund that re-
mains to the State of Illinois in perpetuity,
and which will aid greatly in relieving her
from her present Indebtedness, and diminish
IN no small degree the burthen of taxation.

DOUBLE HEADED SNAKE.-The older books
on natural history describe double-headed
snake, but the existence of such an animal
has been considered in later days as entirely
fabulous The ancient naturalist was, how
ever, correct, and we have proof at hand
A veritable doubled headed snake was found
few days since within two or three miles o (
this city. little girl came upon it, and true
TO the instinct of her nature, made war upon
it. She struck it with a stick, inf1icting a
slight wound, and discovering it hal two
heads, informed her father of the fact He
considered it of sufficient importance to pre-
serve it alive but from confinement or the
hurt it had received, it died within a couple
of days. 1t is supposed to be two or three
months old, it is perfectly formed, and marked
something ike the rattleSrake. Whether it
is lssas nature or an existing species OF the
Serpent tribe we are not able to determine
Those curious in such matters NAV see this
double-headed snake at the Battle Honse
