Legislative summary.

FRIDAY. Feb. q, 1863.
SENATE The Senate did not meet ON Thurs
day Yesterday morning a number of bills were
reported back by the standing committees recon-
mendng their passage The Committee on Eiec-
tons reported the contested election case from
Elkhart and Lagrange. Mr. Murray, Republican.
on the question of deferring the further consider
alton of the report until the 9Th of March, gave
his party friends scathing rebuke for their revo-
lutionary proceedings in the Legislature. Ii was
postponed The contested seats of MeSsrs Mel
lett Ray Browne OF Randolph. Bearss and Dick
inson were decided in favor of the sitting men,
bers Several important bills were considered but
none finally PASSED upon.
HoUsE-The Committee on Federal Relations
reported, advocating Democratic doctrines and
trampling old Abolition ideas under foot. The
Republicans, Hanna's military bill being likely to
come up for consideration, bOted, keeping out OF
the Hall the whole day. There was. therefore,
no quorum present at any time. Notwithstand-
inc n number of bill. were read first and Sec
ond time, reports made, and resolutions acted on.
MIR. Niblack introduced two new bills, amend
ments of the existing militia law. The majority
are doing al in their power to expedite business,
and if necessary legislation fails the minority Will
be responsible.
SATURDAY. February 2S, 1868.
SExArE-The Senate transacted a good deal
of business on Saturday, and passed two or three
hours in debate on Federal matters, which
sprung up about the presentation of memorials
from the 18th and Doth regiments. The motion
was to refer to the Committee on Federal Rela-
tons. Both parties agreed to the reference, bet
the Republicans tainted the Democrats with in
situations Of disloyaIty, and this caused a sharp
debate. which was stopped by the previous ques-
ton being demanded and sustained. Bills were
passeu: To enable persons having stock killed by
-, .,,oro offaofuallv rocQivQ C0mnen-
sation; amending the Justice of the Peace act so
as to authorize suits in replevin at any place
where property may be found; to amend the act
in relation to County Treasurers; TO more eject
ualy protect the ballot-box. declaring certain
acts offenses, and providing punishment therefor;
to amend the title of an act TO provide Tor ncreas-
ing the capital stock of railroads
HousE.-No quorum on Saturday. The Re-
publicans generally bolted, fearing action on
Hanna's military bill. Nothing of importance
therefore could be done. Democrats are IN their
seats willing and DESTROYS to attend TO necessary
legislation demanded by the people Of the whole
State.

plan is presented which may be accepted
by them as rallying point, and which
they are assured in advance will not be re-
jected here. This may bring them tosct
sooner than they otherwise would. I'm
objections TO a premature presentation OF
plan by the national executive consist in
the danger Of committals on points which
could be more safely left to future develop
ments. Care has been taken to SO shape
the document as to avoid embarrassment
from this source. Saying that, on certain
terms, certain classes win be pardoned, with
rights restored, It is not said that otler
classes or other terms will never be includ-
ed and saying also that reconstruction will
be accepted if presented in specified way,
1t is not said it wlll-never-be accepted ~
any other way. The movements by State
action fer emancipation in several of the
States not included in the emancipation
proclamation, are matters of profound graft
ulation, and, while do not repeat in detail
what have heretofore so earnestly urged
upon this subject, my general views and
feelings remain unchanged, and | trust Con-
gress will omit no fair opportunity Of aid
ing these important steps to the great con-
summation.
IMPORTANCE OF THE WAR POWER.
In the midst Of other cares, however i'm
portant, we must not lose sight of the fact
that the war power is still our main leli-
ance, and to that power alone can we look
yet for time, to give confidence to the peo-
pie in tie contested regions that the insur-
gent power will not again overrun them.
Until that confidence shall be established,
little can be done anywhere for what is call
ed reconstruction. Hence our chietest care
must still be directed TO the army and navy,
who have thus far borne their harder parts
SO nobIy and well. And it may be esteem
ed fortunate that in giving the greatest ei-
ficiency TO these indispensable arms, we do
also honorably recognize the gallant men
from commander to sentinel, who compose
them, and TO whom, more than TO others
the world ust stand indebted for the home
of freedom, disenthraled, rejuvenated, en-
larged and perpetuated.

him and knocked the pistol from his hand !;
the robber then drew knife and inflicted

Mr.. Whittier ! head and neck, but by this
time Mr.. Whittier had kne cked the. .assail-
ant over and forced this weapon also from
hls band. The robber then demanded that
Mr.. Whittier should let him out or he would
shout for his accomplices. AT that instant
an uncle of MI. Whittier, who lodged in
the house that night, came TO the door TO in
qure what the affray meant. Mr.. Whitti-
er, niistaking him in the dark for an ac-
complice Of the robber assailed him, knock
