President of the Senate, presided over the trans
actions of these gentlemen. There was no quo
rum Of either house of the General Assembly
present, and the Senate remained in session
transacting business at the other end OF the cap
litol-having appointed President pro tempore
when the Lieutenant Governor vacated his chair
and went to the hall of the House.
| The House of Representatives consists of
one hundred members, and the Senate of fifty
members.
The Senatorial Caucus continued, eighty-six
Delegates in attendance, viz: SiNty-two mem
twcnty-four members of the Senate, less than n
majority.
The Lieut. Governor, on taking the Chair,
called the thing Joint Convention of the two
Houses of the General Assembly of the State
Two men, somewhere in the Hall, nominated
Jessey ID. Bright and Graham n. Fitch for the
United States Senate.
A fellow standing near the Lieut. Governor
was appointed by him Secretary of the Joint
Convention" aud he was forthwith sworn in by
the Democratic Judge Perkins of the Supreme
Court of the State. The Lieut. Governor then
ordered the roll oil tue HeHeFal Asssuoig u oe

Jesse D. Bright" said eighty-three delegates
"Geo. G. Dunn" said two delegates
"Richard w. Thompson said two delegates.
''Blank," scid one delegate.
Thereupon the Lieut.-GOyernor declared Ora
ham n Fitch duly elected United States Senator
from the State of Indiana, until March 4, 1861,
and Jesse d. Bright, until March 4, 1863.
The rascality then adjourned, to meet at the
same place one week from to-day, to gothrough
the farce of electing State officers
Mr. Bright and DIR. Fitch have already gone
to Washington-they took the express train on
the quick road to-day; but am happy to say
the protest of the Senate of Indiana proceeds
them, and when they ask to be swoIn in as Sc
majors they will be met with response, "The
Senate of Indiana know you not. They protest
against you and say this House of the Legisla-
ture of Indiana had no part or lot in the mat
ter"
This is, believe, the first case on record in
which partizan caucus composed of members
of legislative body without the concurrent
action of the two Houses, and with the protest
of one) has presumed to exercise legislative func
tions and elect United States Senators. The
Harlan case is no exception. In that there had
been Joint Convention of the two Houses which
adjourned. In our case there had been no Joint
Convention at any time.
The Republicans of indianapolis hold meet
ing tonight, at the Hall of the House, to enter
protest on the part of the people.

oMEssRs. EDIToRs Thinking that perhaps a
line or two might be of interest to you and your
readers from this cold region, have concluded
to write. have not seen any eastern paper
that has as yet done justice to the extreme cold
which we have had here, this winter, and it is
really more than those situated in warmer eli
mates could well believe or realize. We have
Just been hearing of tho terrific storm that ragged
along the Atlantic coast, and notice that it has
caused great sensation both in and out of print
The storm came upon US here like thunder
clap in clear sky. Sunday morning a week
ago was the coolest, so far as we can learn, on
record. All having thermometers in this vicini-
ty re port that their instruments gave in. We
made careful observations on our own during
Saturday night and Sunday morning, and have
no reason to doubt the accuracy Of our own rs
we'll as other instruments in this neighborhoOd.
Saturday at 8 o'clock p. NJ, it stood % degrees
below zero At midnight it stood 40 degrees
below, at which point they say mercury ceases
to indicate the temperature. At z o'clock Sun
day morning, We marked where the mercury
stood, and by extending the scale, found it would
be so degrees below. All the others ranged
from 45 to As below zero We learned from a
friend who has spirit thermometer, that it stood
46 degrees below zero, 8 o'clock Sunday morn
ing.
Hero we have something to ask, which we
wish some one better posted than ourselves to
answer. We prepared vial of mercury, in
tending to see it become solid on Sunday morn
ing, but although our own as well as others in
dictated below 40 degrees, yet the mercury re-
NAMED fluid. Does it then'require lower tenn
perature than 40 degrees to sOlidify mercury, or
are all the instruments in this vicinity errone-
GUS? We all confess, here, that VIC are puzzled.
Yours &c, w.
