time the Democrats had one branch of the
Legislature, and the opposition the other
but upon joint ballot the latter would have
elected their man for Senator. Under
these circumstances, the Democrats face
tiously refused to So into joint ballot at
all, and so the vacancy has remained un-
filed. Now the Democrats have clear
majority on joint ballot, but the Republi-

will not follow so bad an example.
Indianapolis, Feb. 2.
The Indiana House of Representatives
and the Democratic members of the Sen
ate met in what purported to be joint
convention, to-day. The Republicans re-
fused to 60 into convention. While the
Democrats and the Lieut.. Governor were
leaving the Senate Chamber, the Republi-
cans called one of their own members to
the chair, and took from the table the con-
tested case of Mr.. Woods, Democratic
Senator, and in the absence of the Dem
ocratic Senators declared his seat vacant,
aud Immediately adjourned. This gives
the Republicans clear majority in the
Senate.
