United states senators.

We were enabled to announce in a portion
of the edition Of our last paper that the le5is-
lature had elected two United States senators
in the place of Bright and Fitch, who now
Illegally hold seats IN the Senate. Every
true friend of Indiana will hail this is a
triumph of the people over the corraptions Of
party-as vndicaton 81 the dignity OF our
State, and as an evidence that the rights of
free people cannot be tranpled upon with
impunity.
The people of Indiana aud their reprcsen-
tatives have done their daty, and 1t now
remains to be seen whether a partizaa senate,
under the lash Of the Executive will sustain
Bright and Fitch in their seats, and treat
with contempt the will of the people OF a
sovereign State. The LaeomPtoai.es inquire
what good viii this election do, and answer
the question themselves BY saying that the
senate of the United States alone has the
power to determine the qualifications of Its
members to seats. Admit that it has-doeS
that prevent it from doing justice an! acting
honorably? Our Courts alone have The right
TO determine the fate Of a citizen charged
with murder. but IS that any reason that

But our purpose is to notice the doings in the

had given out that he would not sell liquor

get drunk-that no noise-no fghting-no
broils were to be had there, but it vas to be

moments would shrink in horror from des-

liquor-seller fred his brain-destroyed his
power Of self control-exci.ed his passions. and
had he struck fatal blow, the liquor seller
would have been the murderer The ilnme-

4 correspondent Of the Philadelphia Prrss
gives Us some f5ures relative to the expen-
ditures that has occurred from time to time
upon the Nat;onol Cap:,al IL says tha:
since Washington was finally established as
the seat of Government, the sum OF S2I7I5
$50 has been expended torpubIic and private
purposes OF this, about S5,oJo,oyo has
been for the Capitol, and the balance, Sill,
90, 33s for the other public bailiing, fur
niture. statuary, painting &c. OF this sum
s519l6,25 has been expended in Lighting
the3Ayenue from the Capitoi to the Treasury
De partment; while to light tie Capitol. Pres
ident's House, and the grounds around them
has cost Sl2l,305. The large paintings in
the rotun1a cost s70,010, and to enclose aud
improve The Capitol grounds cost s22I22o,
From this it will be seen that the paternal
interest manifested by the General Govern
ment towards the District, is commendable
in the extreme.
