INDIANAPOLIS. January 9th.

INDIANAPOLIS, January 9th.
The greater portion of the Legis-
lature was in the city last night, and
the trains this morning bring in
the remainder, with very few excep-
tions. All the members from the
First District were here last night, ex-
cept WoLFLIN, of Posey, who is ex-
pected to- night.
Political questions are very little
mooted as yet. The members of the
General Assembly are fully occupied
in arranging the matter of offices of
the two Houses preliminary to or
ganization. The withdrawal of Hon.
FL. G. NEwCoMB, of Marion, in this
mornings Journal, leaves the field to
Col. BRANHAM, of Jefferson, for
Speaker Of the House. The applicants
for the minor Offices are legion, and all
have enough promises to insure their
success, if that was all that was neces-
sary. Major WILSON, of Marion, has
the inside track, apparently, for Secre-
tary OF the Senate; and our towns
man, CoNANT, has many friends with
good chance for the Office of
Doorkeeper of the same House.
BROsHEARs, Of Spencer, our one
armed veteran, will undoubtedly be
provided for in one or the other
House.
The indications day are that Gov.
MORTON will have no serious opposi-
ton, if any at all, for the United
States Senate. The popular feeling
among the members of the Assembly
in his favor is even much stronger
than [ expected it would be. His OPP
ponents are less than half a score,
and on the Senatorial question are
without influence in the Legislature.
They held private caucus last night,
and it is given out to-day that they
will offer no resistance to the Cover
nor's election. .d 90" laao51yolqwl 800

IT may be important to some to
know that late act of Congress re-
quired all deeds, dated between the LIST
of October, 1862, and the End day Of
May, 1865. to be stamped prior to the
LIST day of January, 1867, under severe
penalties. To avoid the penalty i'm
posed, those who have had unstamped
deeds recorded should have had them
stamped. and the record corrected ac-
cordingly. After the 1st Of January,
deeds not stamped at the date of exc
cution can only be stamped upon APP
plication to the District Collector of
Internal Revenue.

THE Democratic Governor of Della
ware, true to his instincts, announces
in his late message that he intends to
enforce the State law forbidding color
ed men to carry arms, and he eulo-
gizes the system Of selling colored
criminals into slavery as the best
method of preventing crime. He ig-
nores the civil-rights bill, modern
progress, and the National Constitu-
ton. He forgets that, by the predomi-
nant law, colored men are citizens,
and that as citizens they are entitled
to the civil rights. He seems never
to have heard of the right of the
people to bear arms. or to imagine
that an old pro-slavery statute of his
State will justify him in violating it
with impunity. His prediction for
the barbarous system of selling color
ed men convicted of crime into slave
ry, punishment which he would not
dare to propose for white criminals, is
another Illustration of the general
disposition Of the South to devise
plans for evading emancipation and
re-establishing their favorite institu-
ton in a new form.

NECESSITY FOR 1T.

The want of Line of Telegraph, located with
n view to accommodate the river trade, has long
been felt. Many important towns are now with
out any telegrsphic communication whatever and
the lines now established between other points
are, in most cases, disconnected, following cir
cuitous routes, hundreds of miles out of direct
Course, causing vexatious and unnecessary delays
to business, by reason of numerous repetitions,
and the frequent Interruptions incident to long
lines. When the facts are borne in mind that the
liability of telegraph line to damage from any
cause increased in the same proportion its
length, and that the repetition of message dOu-
bles the time necessary for its transmission, the
great and very important advantages of direct
route over the circuitous now in operation
can readily be seen. ...... ..E
