The Last Day Of the session!

On Monday, the Senate did very little. A
resolution was offered to go into election Of
U. s. Senator. 1t was laid on the table by
vote of "a to l9-Col. Drew voting in the
affirmative. A motion to 60 into election OF
State Agent with the House, was also laid ON
the table, by vote of % to 2l-Col. Drew
voting against election. A motion to au-
thorize the Governor to call an extra session
was lost.
In the House, the following preamble and
resolution was offered. Resolution failed for
want of a quorum, the Old Liners having
bolted. There were IS votes for it, and some
against it:
WAEREAs, 1t is the duty of the present
General Assembly to elect United States
Senator, and refusal to do so would, il like
refusal should occur in a sufficient number of
States, destroy the national legislature, and
reduce the national government to anarchy
And whereas, the House has on several
occasions invited the Senate to unite with
the House in joint convention for the purpose
of holding such election; s-fr.f -
And whereas, the Senate has declined to
accede to such requests, it being alleged as
reason therefore that the Senate ought not
10 lose its identity in such election by uni.
ting in such joint conventions;
And whereas, the Senate on its part has
proposed to the House the name of a citizen
OF the State for United States Senator, the
views of which citizen on great public ques-
tions, being in opposition to tie views of a
large majority or the House and of the people
Of Indiana, wherefore he is deemed by the
House an improper person to represent the
people and State of Indiana in the United
States Senate;
And whereas, the House being anxious to
discharge its constitutional duty i'm the mat.
ter, is willing to accede to the views Of the
Senate, SO far as the same may be reason
able and practicable;
| And whereas it is historically true, that
every U. S. Senator since the first organi-
cation Of this State Government, has been
elected by joint convention of both Houses
Of the General Assembly: Therefore,
Resolved, (the Senate concurring), That
the Senate and House proceed at 2 o'clock
this day to make choice of u. 8. Senator in
the following manner, viz: Each House shall
proceed, uird voce, to vote for u. s. Senator
and shall interchange the result of their bal.
lots; and if, having thus balIoted, the two
] Houses shall fail the concur in the choice oil
citizen for said Office, having balloted three
times, then the two houses shall immediate ly
assemble together in joint convention in. the
Hall of the House, and by ripa uoce vote
choose such U. 8. Senator; and the person
receiving q majority of all the votes given
shall be decided chosen such u. s. Senator
for the term of six years, FROM the 4th o.
March next.
i After the vote on the above resolution
call Of the House was made sirty-seue'
members answered to their names. The res
olution was again put to vote, when the re-
suit was again Sc to none.
After this matter was settled, and .
slight talk about electing State Printer

The Bank Bills.

During the last few weeks, we have pur-
posely preserved silence, and therefore neut-
rality, relative to the State Bank and Free
Bank systems. Noticing at an early day
that citizens were beginning to divide upon
the question of State Bank or Free Banks,
and regarding such division of opinion as
calculated to bring the two systems into d.
rect rivalry. which could be productive of no
good, but might end in the serious crippling
or entire destruction of both, we marked out
policy of neutrality till the whole subject
should have become a subject of legislative
decision. This bank excitement has been
as prevalent in almost every other portion OF
the State as here, and everywhere the mass
appear to have acted as though the State
and free bank systems were riuals, and there.
fore it was necessary in supporting the one
to oppose the other. Now we do not SO
consider the subject at all. We are for jus,
what has been done, the establishment in oul
State of both systems, not having had an op
portunity, however, of knowing by examina
ton of the bank laws just made by our Leg
islature, how far we can agree with the laws
in all their details. But we believe the sys
TENS may work side by side under proper
charters, without any such rivalry as tina
anticipated by some Of the mutual friends c
each, and which if it exists at all, must t
certain extent injure both in public con
fdence. Time and experiment can alon'
prove the worth of the bank laws just made
While the bills were. in the hands of commit
tees, they received much labor and investi
cation, and were pretty thoroughly discusse'
in the two houses before their passages
we have at least the assurance they lacl
nothing that attention and industry coul,
bestow. We truly hope they may provide
for US good State currency, which may de
serve not only the confidence of the people
Of Indiana, but secure that ofevery surround
ing State. The experience Of the last year
should certainly have opened the eyes of GU
legislators, to the evils of bad currency, o
of a "currency" founded upon a bad law
and thus made them doubly cautious in tn
formation of new laws on the same subject

Destruction OF Col. Benson's House. A
Singular Fire.

=
We regret to announce to our readers that
the private residence of Hon. Thomas H.
Benton, on street, near Al street, was des-
OF it's valuable contents. The fire originated
in the study or Office of Col. Benton, which
was in the third story Of the building, thence
communicating to the second and first stories.
The fire companies, with their apparatus,
were early on the ground, and the most
strenuous efforts were made to arrest the pro-
gress Of the flames, but owing to the great
scarcity of wuter, those efforts were nearly
rendered abortive. 1t was with the greatest
difficulty the adjoining buildings were saved
from destruction. stss
"A large protion OF Col. BIS private papers
aud books which were in the Office was des-
troyed. The furniture in the first and second
stories was nearly all saved. The house
was owned by Col. B., and we regret to add
that there was no insurance on the building
or personal property.
The following card has been furnished US
for publication:
Mr.. Benton returns his thanks to his neigh.
bors, the fire companies, and the numerous
citizens who came u the relief OF his house
when on FIRE yesterday, and who did all that
could be done to arrest the flames, and to
save books, papers and furniture; but the
mischief was done before il was known to
have begun. 1t is now ascertained that the
FIRE had been going on for days, and arose
from defective chimney in new part of the
building, and had destroyed the contents of
the office before it was discovered. On Sun
day Mr.. BIS youngest daughter, whose room
was above his own, told him that her room
was sometimes filled with somke, which
came from no Fireplace; but it did not occur
to himthat some wooden work communicating
with the chimney might be in a smothercd
yesterday (Tuesday) to GO to the House of
Representatives, carefully putting out the
fire as he always did. An hour after his
eldest daughter was in the Office, and was
astonished at the warmth of the of the room,
seeing that the fire was entirely out and the
day uncommonly cold, but left it, closing the
door.
The first discovery of the fire was from
seeing the smoke issuing from the crevices
of the Office door and the bed room adjoining
it. His eldest daughter and the servant
opened the door, but fire aid smoke filled
both rooms, and found its contents in state
of combustion. They had 10 retired to save
their own lives, and some kind persons who
attempted to save the papers were scorched
and almost suffocated. The great mischief
was already done. The house could not be
ved, but it is a consolation that the adjoin.
ing houses of the neighbors, and that Of Mr..
Fremont were preserved. In the name of
his whole family, Mr.. Benton returns thanks
to his kind neighbors for their offer of rooms
and shelter and for comfortable lodgings
Hospitality rendered to him close by the smok-

own shrinking gaze and freezing his hearts
blood-whose ear is startled in every breeze
by the low sobs that 60 by, or pierced in ev-
ery gale by the wild shrieks that ride past
may be haunted only by the throats of his
own horrid deed, or he may be, really and
truly, subjected to the companionship of mys-
terious and terrible spiritual influences that
have been evoked from the caverns OF the
