The saving Of some one long ago that "the
course Of true love never did nun smooth"
has become favorite nphorism. Equally as
true an one would be that the course Of
legislation never did run smooth" at least
legislation In Indiana. Two years ago We
had our capitol and city disgraced by the
presence of u roWdy. drunken, hlasphemous
Jet Of traitors, who did nothing or said moth
ing but Whnt was conducirc to the prosperity
and happiness Of jeff. Davis, and blocked IN
that delightful pursuit BY the PLUCK OF the
union members, they swore the Balance Of
the ejxty days, and went home drunk, letting
the State credit aud State glory 20 to the
dogs in company, This time, although the
majorities are the other way. there are enough
Of the butteEnuts left for seed, nnd they arc

On Friday morning the House received a

when, on motion Of Mr.. Blanham, Represent
tatfye from Jefferson, the order Of business
was suspended and the bill read the first time,
Saturday morning Mr.. Branham made the
same motion, and the bill Was read a seconds
time. Then the fll1ibustering began. Col.
5rotb, Of Huntington, offered IN amendment
telling MeEsTs. Winslow. Lanier &: Co. that
they could have the $640, GOO advanced bY
them, but they shouldn't have cent CT in

other amendment, allowing the $G40, 900 with

that the House might find itself without

Commission, that 1t Is dangerous work to at- |
tempt to rcrolu'fonfze on behalf OF tho eue- |
mics Of the Government. Is for Jason B.
Brown, he has fine bass voice, and might |
better condne himself to the acting of snch !
parts In loyal d,aulas. Sam Buskirk Is fat and |
not over courageous, and don't look ferucious |
enough FIR land pirate by any means. If be |
don't bs have himself, the Government ought |
to conflscate his gold headed cane which tic
clerks Of the last House gave him in consider
alton Of, &C.. ard that would bring him to

needed and will be had. The time for foolinc
