Both Houses of the Indiana State Lee

inethe pretended election of Bright and
Fiscf Illegal, unconstitutional and veid1
anil that n las no legal Senators IN
Congress. II passed the Senate by a vote
of &c to %, and the House by vote of
Bytae Of vahief1l 10 Davis of Floyd.
admitted that the election of Bright and
Fitch was illegal. yet voted against the
resolution for the reason that the u S.
Senate having eon6yped ,thep in their
seats the adoption of the resolution would
avail nothing. We are fat.;,sae
this particular in our old friends. We
hardly expect BrissoselSIerro &c Dust
cal, yet, we believe the Legislature would
have failed to have discharged great du
ty had II not protested against the outrage.
We hope two. legal Senator's will yet be
elected to contest the right of the bogus
incunlbcnts, and thus afford the L. S. SEN
ate an opportunity ,olg its erro-
neou. sp1 p1sl6 dUSl1 lh the case.
Nj. DAVIS said ne was willing to so in
to the election for successor to Fitch in
1861 Wchope the Legislature will adopt
the suggestion. 1t viii only be paying
the Shamocracy in their own coin. which
we are in favor of all the time, until they
learn 10 act honestly and respect the consti-
tutional rights ofthcir opponents. Whip
ping them at their own game will bring
them to their senses quicker than any 9TH
or course.

Mrs. BIS pushing and Mrs. P's pulling

displayed on the occasion.

Joint resolution:
WHEREAS, At the time of the election
of the Hon. Jesse ID. Bright and Hon
Graham N. Fitch, as United States Sen
ators from the State of Indiana, it was I'M
derstood that those gentlemen were thu
supporters of the principles set out in thu
Cincinnati Platform; and
Whereas. The course pursued by tn
aforesaid Senators, during the contes
that arose upon the question of admitting
Kansas into the Union under the Lecemp
ton WAS not consistent with tn
position occupied by them before that ques
ton arose. nor in accordance with tn
wishes of the Democracy of Indiana
and
j Whereas, Now that the Lecompton CON
stitution has been voted down by the pcopl
of Kansas, the only practical question
pertinent 10 that Territory that can arts

re- There seems to be no ground what
ever for supposing that William Guy, who
was killed by a passenger ear running over
him a. La Porte, last week. was foully
,le.is By, as the Bamocras ipt;nated. We
stated last week that no one witnessed the
accident, but learn since that young man
was standing close by at the time, who
says he saw him attempt to get on board,
but that he missed his aim and fell under.
Since the above was in type we have re-
ceived the La Porte Times, which, after
relating the fact that he was RIM over and
found lying across the track, adds:
ain addition, we learn that Guy had in
his possession from one to two hundred
dollars in gold when he came here, and
less than two dollars were found on his
person when dead. He is said to have
been under the influence of liquor most, If
not all the time whilst here; and it is said
that he got rid of his money at a certain
bowling Saloon in this city-whethcr by
fair or foul means we are not advised
We have further heard it stated that he
was cold when found deal, which would
seem to imply that he had been foully
dealt with: but the Coroner confutes this
assertion. All in all, it could do no harm
to have the matter investigated, and we
hope it may be DONE"
The above is the first intimation we
have hcarl that Guy had any considerable
sum Of money with him. The early hour
of the night at which he was found. and Al
SO very public place, seems to forbid the
conclusion that he was foully dealt with
1t may, however, have been the case. But
il he got rid Of his money at the Bowling
Saloon it was not for the purpose o
plumber that he was murdered, if murderer
at all, unless the pcrpetrator having hear,
Of his being in the possession of that sun
was not aware of his having lost it at play
j P. s. Upon further inquiry we learn tina
Guy probably had the amount of none,
stated above in his possession when he ar
rived at La Porte. If true, it gives diff
ferent coloring to the whole affair. and rem
ders an investigation necessary to clear u
the painful mystery now hanging over i
