Bills before the Legislature.

The Bill for regulating divorces, now be-
fore the Legislature, requires residence of
one year, which fact is to be proven as other
facts in the case.
The Bill to reconstruct the Board of
Sinking Fund Commissioners, provides that
the board shall consist of six members, to be
appointed by the Legislature, Immediately
on the passage of the act, and to assume
their duties on the first of January. Thisis
an important measure, which ought not to
be pressed through till its provisions are I'M
derstood by the people and their opinion
made known. This bill creates seven fat
offices, six Commissioners and Secretary.
By Senator Tarkington's appraisement
bill, the assessor is to be appointed by the
county commissioners who also have dscre-
ton as to the appointment Of assistants.-
The county board for the equalization of as
sessments is kept in operation, but the
board now existing in Congressional dis
tricts will likely De abolished hereafter
This bill was the pet measure of Gov. VIII
lard. By an amendment, it rs provided that
after the first term, the assessor shall be
elected by the people.

B4s3n The Vincennes gazette, speaking OF
the engagement OF Professor Mitchell to de
liver course of lectures in this city says:
We understand that an arrangement is in
process of adjustment by which Professor
Mitchell will lecture in our city on alternate
nights during the delivery of his course in
Evansville. We hope the arrangement can
be made. 1t would be rare treat TO listen
to the teachings of one of the greatest As
tronomers Of the age, and become posted
upon that most sublime aud s-heavenly
science. Such course of lectures would be
worth Iaore than all of the dances, monkey
shows, concerts and recitation5 OF IL whole
year. We believe our citizens would gladly
second the move of any association that
will undertake to engage the delivery OF the
course.

A SETTLER.-The "occasional" Washing
ton correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
writes
The President, pledged as he is TO ad-
vance beyond Lecomptonism, and to take
ground in favor of Congressional interven-
tion in favor of slavery, is penning his mes
sage, and win undoubtedly try. to please
the extreme men of the South. One OF
our Northern Secretaries, who was advo-
eating this doctrine q few days ago, was
rather startled when asked by a Democrat
this question You said slavery is held
in the Territories by the oJiier dictltn of
the Supreme Court, in defiance Of Terri
torial law--now, tell me how !; as a citizen
of a free State, (where ! can vote against
slavery, can be made less a citizen by going
into Territory, where, according 10 your
new notion, dare not vote against slavery,
or do anything on this question but sub
nit to the right of property in slaves as
higher than my own sovereignty 2 The
Secretary looked rather blank mt this home
question, and thought of the good time he
would have in his own State in support OF
this new-fangled doctrine.

Tue CASE OF THE MeRTARA CHILD.-The
London FeekLy Register, in an able article
giving the Catholic view of the.detention Of
the Montana child from his parents, says:
The Holy Father has refused to deliverup
little Christian child to be compulsorily
made Jew, and taught to revile his Sa-
viour. For this he has been abused by the
false Liberals of Europe, on the pretence
that he has violated the principles of liberty!
As if he had not rather vindicated it than
violated it. The liberty which he has vim
Dictated is the liberty of child to be
Christian. The liberty which-his revilers
accuse him of violating is the liberty of Il
father to compel his child to be Pagan, an
Infdel, Mahomedan, or Jew. For the
father, at first, was quite satisfied, and only
changed his mind (if sincerely at all, and if
he is not the mere tool of revolutionists) on
religious grounds, 4. e. on the ground that
it is his duty to make his child jew But
whatever right he had he has lost and
waived it by his own Illegal conduct, as well
as by his own implied acquiescelee. He
knew that the Catholic servant was bound
by her religion 10 baptise the boy, if in
peril of death; and that, for that very rea-
servant and that if the child were bap-
tised, the law would institute the Church
his guardian. He knew all this, yet left the
child in the care of Catholic servant, in
state of illness; and thus Misconduct, on the
one hand, being contrary to law, deprived
him of the right to rely on his legal right as
parent; and, on the other hand, amounted to
an implied acquiescence in what was DONE
or to such gross neglect as, according to the
principle common to every law, deprives
him of any legal remedy. 8 = >
In this case, another principle is involved
the right of the child. Has Christian
| child not the liberty to be a Christian? The
| question how it became so, is, beside the
| point suffice it, that it was by the parents
aid or default. The child is Christian, and
declares its faith, and claims the protection
| of the Holy Father. To have surrendered
/ him, would have been an eternal ignominy
To clamor for his surrender is an outrage on
Christianity, and a shame to Christendom.
The Holy Fathers protection of the child,
in the face of all the ferocious fanatcism of
infdelity, is the grandest moral spectacle
which the world has seen for ages.

Bs9" The Hon. Acquila Jones, State
Treasurer, who has been nominated by his
friends for Agent of State, publishes the
following card in the Indianapolis papers .
My name is used in connection with the
office of Agent of State. That position is
one of great responsibility, and in my judg-
ment not sufficiently within the safeguards
of law. 1t is one which, after mature de-
Liberation, do not desire. | am deeply SEN
sible of its importance; and in Other times
and under more favorable circumstance,
might, perhaps, desire it. As it is, / cannot
accept that or any other honor which the
kindness of my friends might wish to be-
stow upon me, unless | can do so without
the compromise of my principles, and with
out mourning any responsibility other than
that of a servant of the State.

BRIGHT AND FITCH ELECTIoN.-The Wash
ington correspondent of Forney's Press does
not appear to view the proposed election of
new Senators by the Indiana Legislature
as "a ridiculous farce" He says;
The Legislature of Indiana has acted pro-
perly in taking the initiative steps for the
legal election of L. S. Senators, in place of
Bright and Fitch, who hold seats in defiance
OF all right and precedent. Their claim
was confirmed by party vote at the last
session, right in the teeth of decision
against Mr. Harlan, OF Iowa, involving the
same essential principles-and after five
months had been expended by these bogus
Senator's in the application of every person
al exertion, to relieve or modify threatened
opposition, combined with all the influence
the executive could exert So monstrous
was the pretension that the Democratic ma
iority of the Judiciary Committee, to which
it was referred, refused 10 put themselves
on record by Il report, and Mr.. Bayard, the
chairman, was pea@hded into silence, by
appliances which are perfectly understood,
though he was known to deny the legality
of the proceedings, by which this outrage
upon the Constitution was consummated.-
Let Indiana elect Senators and send them
here, to contest the fraudulent claims of
these incunbents. Then the question may
he tried practically, as il has not yet been.
We shall then see how the champions of
popular sovereignty viii swallow their
own doctrine

The BoonviIie Democrat.

We have received the first number
of new paper published by Ed 4. White,
at Boonville, in the adjoining county of
Warrick. 1t is neat in appearance and
spirited in tone. It is anti-Leeompton
Democratic in its political views and hoists,
at the outset, the Douglas flag in the Presi-
Dental contest for 1860. 1t is rival that
will arouse our veteran friend Frary, to
new efforts to maintain his political suprem-
acy in old Warrick
The new aspirant for public favor speaks
confidently of success, founded, as his hopes
are, upon the prosperity and growth of the
town of Boonyille and the county of War
rick; of these he says:
Boonville is improving rapidly. The
new buildings already erected, and those in
process of erection, indicate that it has i'm
proved more within the two past, than it has
in ten previous, years. The county is al
most thirty miles square, and forms part of
Southern Indiana, q section of the State un-
surpassed in soil and climate by any por-
ton of the great North-W Her stock of
all kinds, her agricultural and mechanical
products, will compare favorably with those
of any county West of the mountains
There is annually shipped from her ports to
the Southern and Eastern markets million
bush of wheat and corn and eight hun
bred thousand pounds of tobacco, and thrice
that amount of pork, yearly finds its way
from her borders TO the great marts of trade.
1t is being rapidly settled up by population
as moral, intelligent, and enterprising as
that of any within the almost limitless
bounds of our great confederacy. With this
wealth, this enterprise backed by a moral
and intelligent people, it would be a great
wonder indeed that an enterprise Of this
kind should fail.
If the first is but fair promise of the
future numbers, it will not fail.
