Indiana Legislature CO., Message from
GOV MORTON.


IEpIAEAPoLIs, Jan. 24-The following
message was read in the Senate chamber
this evening:
To the General Assembly Of the State Of
Indiana: Having been elected to the
Office of United States Senator, ] desire to
express my deep sense Of obligation for
this high mark Of your confidence and
esteem. This election is more precious 10
nae as an endorsement Of my administra-
ton, extending through nearly six years,
than for the intrinsic value Of the Office
which il confers To the large body Of
friends who nobly sustained me through
the difficulties by which was surrounded,
during the dark and perilious hours Of the
rebellion, / am bound by sentiments Of
sffection and gratitude, which will end only
with my life; and the officers and soldiers
Of Indiana, whose devoted patriotism and
heroic valor have shed so much lustre upon
the State and nation, return my
heartfelt thanks for their many mani
festations Of confidence and regard.
Ny connection with them in the
organization and support Of the army will
ever be the proudest period Of my life.
Nav this people hold them in grateful and
afiectionate remembrance. Our beloved
State has entered upon a new career Of
growth, prosperity and honor. To your
charge her interests are committed, and
YOU will see to it, / am confident, chat they
are carefully and wisely fostered, and that
no reproach shall be brought upon her high
character. Governor Baker is able, patri-
otto and faithful And now, with a con-
sciousness Of having tried to do my duty,
and with earnest prayers for the happiness
and prosperity Of the people Of Indiana, !
hereby resign to his hands, under the con-
sfit1tion, the Office Of Governor.

WEssRg. CAMPBELL AND COOPER.
A communication in a late number Of
the Murlreesboro Monitor assails the
Hon VIM. B Campbell and Hon. Edmund
Cooper for tameness in their course as
Conservative members Of Congress, and
as guilty Of a dereliction Of duty to their
constituents, IN not replying by speech TO
the assaults made By Radical Congress
men on the southern people The writer
does great injustice to these gentlemen,
and shows himself poorly informed in re.
gard 10 the condition of things at Wash,
ington
There are two reasons Why these gen
temen have not pursued the course indi-
Gated as pcoper by the critic Of the Noni-
for In the first place, It has been next
to impossible for them 10 DO so The
Radical majority in tho House Of Repre-
sent0tiyes is az arbitrary and tyrannical
In the construction Of the rules Of th6t
body, and as exclusive against the Cons
servatiye members and, the special rules
and the general rulingsOf Speaker ColfaS,
are as adverse to their rights as a minori-
". as the body is in the treatment Of the
great political questions involving the
rights Of the Southern people Under
this partizau strictness, it is difficult and
frequently impossible for Conservative
members "a demand the ayes and noes.
To obtain the door Tor a speech or 80 min
Gle in debate is a rare opportunity for a
Conservative member The programme
Of the majority is to push their
measures through under the previous
question and by every system Of legis-
latiye forcing that can be resorted TO- to
stiAe al debate We are informed thai
a Hst Of the members is kept by the
speaker containing the names Of those
who have previously signifed a desire q
speak 10 the House, and he decides thai
they can only have the privilege Of the
foor in regular turn The large prepon
derance Of Radical members, under TIM
practice, efectually excludes Il Conscrya
tive from the right Of extended speech
except when, by unusual good fortune
one mSy be able 70 secure it. This rigiS
and partial system is yiolatiye Of the cs
sentisl rights Of members, and convert
the House from a deliberatiye body o
representatives Of equal constituencies
into q caucus Of the majority whose vot
controls the action, and who monopolizv

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 24.-The Democrats
Topeka special says: The Senate to-day
defeated the bill for q constitutional con-
vention.
A bill was introduced in the Senate pro-
yiding for board of immigration, and
appropriating $4,000 for publishing Of
pamphlets and the establishment of agen.
Cies in the Eastern States and Europe.
All the Democrats in the Legislature ex-
cept one signed a request for Col. Blair,
late the johnson candidate for Congress, to
go to Washington and assure the President
that the late senatorial contest was between
Radicalism and Conservatism, in which
the latter was defeated; but urging him to
stand by his friends in Kansas.

IL is proper in our opinion that the Con
sentative members should content them-
selves with protesting by vote against
Radical measures, and permit the fury Of
the faction to expend itself in the yio-
lence Of speech unanswered No useful
end can be Hbseryed by debating with
men who are predetermined, and ami
mated with the spirit Of revolutionists.

presently, when the performer, gathering
courage from the favorable temper of his
audience, ventured to improvise matter
for his distiches from familiarly known
local incidents, the demonstrations were
deafening.
Now, it happened that Cuff, who mean
while was crouching in a dishabilIe under
concealment of a projecting fiat behind
the performer, by some means received
intelligence, at this point. of the near ap-
proach of steamer to the Monongahela
wharf. Between himself aud others of
his color in the same line of business,
and especially as regarded certain for
midable competitor called Ginger, there
existed an active rivalry in the baggage
carrying business. For Cuff to allow Gin
ger the advantage of an undisputed de-
scent upon the luggage of the approach
ing vessel would be not only to forfeit all
considerations" from the passengers, but,
by proving him laggard in his calling,
to cast damaging blemish upon his rep
utatiou. Liberally as he might lend him
self to a friend, it could not be done at
that sacrifice. After minute or two of
hdgety waiting for the song to end, Cuffs
patience could endure no longer, and, eau
tiously hazarding glimpse of his profile
beyond the edge of the fat, he called in
hurried whisper: "Massa Rice, Massa
Rice, must have my close! Massa Gri-
fif wants me,-steamboat's comm -
The appeal vas fruitless. Massa Rice
did not hear it, for happy hit at on uu-
popular city fun dictionary had set the au-
dience in roar in which all other sounds
were lost Waiting some moments longer,
the restless Cuff, thrusting his visage from
under cover into full three-quarter view
this time, again charged upon the singer
in the same words, but with more empha-
tic voice: "Massa Rice, Massa Rice,
must have my close! Massa Grifif wants
me-stednaLodt's comm !'
A still more successful couplet brought
still more tempestuous response, and the
invocation OF the baggage-carrier was un-
heard and UNDECIDED. Driven TO despera-
ton, and forgetful in the emergency Cf
every sense Of propriety, Cuff, in ludicrous
undress as he was, started from his place,
rushed upon the stage, aud laying his
hand upon the performers shoulder, call
ed out excited!y: "Massa Rice, Massa
Rice, gi-gi' me nigga's tings! Massa
Griffif wants s'im-sTEAMBoAT's COMM t'
The incident was the touch, In the
mirthful experience of that night, that
passed endurance. Pit and circles were
one scene of such couvulsive merri-
ment that it was impossible to proceed in
the performance ; and the extiuguishmeus
of the footlights, the fall of the curtain,
and the throwing wide of the doors for
exit, indicated that the entertainment was
ended.
Such were the cumstances----authen-
tic in every particular----under which the
first work of the distinct art of Negro
Minstrelsy was presented.
