The JOURNAL, in answer to our
query why it was that Governor Ba-
ker did not select the 9th of April as
the day of the special election, says
that the term which the appropria-
tions of the last Legislature were
made to cover, expires in Marcel" y,
and after that time the Governor
will have no money with which to
sustain the charitable institutions of
the State" The revenue would be
collected this year whether there
should be an extra session Of the Leg
islature or not. What is to hinder
Governor Baker from drawing on the
State Treasury for all necessary sup
plies, trusting to the next Legisla-
ture to sustain him, just as Morton
dill during his administration 1t
would be no worse for the Governor
to follow the example of his illustri-
Gus predecessor, than it is for the
- simple minded colleague of the
Managing Editor of the JOURNAL, to
answer our query by adopting almost
the precise language of the Indianap
oils ) oURNAL upon this subject
COUTier.
The Courier ought to know, but
we presume it does not, that the Gov
ernOr could not touch dollar of the
revenues collected, except by violat-
ing the law through the connivance Of
the State officers. 1t ought also to
know, but most likely does not, that
Gov. MORToN did not draw on the
State trea ury for supplies under
somewhat similar circumstances. On
the contrary he borrowed money from
the various counties, aud of patriotic
individuals, who, in view of the war
aad the threatening attitude of the
Democratic party In our State, felt
that they must do so to save the State
from absolute ruin. There is no such
pressing emergency now. Governor
BAKER will convene the Legislature
again. and upon it throw the respon
sib.liiy Of the breaking up of the
benevolent institutions, failure tC
pay the interest on the State
debt, and AL the other calamities
which will follow if the programme
laid down by the seeding Democrats
is carried out. If, as these gentle.
men aver, they were compelled to re-
sign lest the Republicans should sud,
denly spring the amendment upon
them, and force it through the Legis
datnre before they could prevent il
they viii be compelled to refuse 4
take their seats for precisely simila
reason. If, therefore, they are re
elected they are virtually pledged ne
to qualify. Suppose the fii,y-fOu
secessionists refnse to qullify al,
take their seats, in what conditio
will they place the State? If the
qualify, are they not in as much dan
ger as they were at any time durin
the eight hours which elapsed be
tween the writing of their resignation
and the time fixed for the considera
tion Of the amendment? We observ
that the Courier is as shy of this poin
as a young colt of his first bride.

IT seems that the Democratic pa
pers are not unanimous in sustaining
the action of the Legislative seceed-
ers. The Indianapolis Mirror says:
The Sentinel justifes the Demo
cratic bolt as means of bringing the
negro suffrage question before the
people. We fail to see it. The hard
listed and hard headed yeomanry will
doubtless re-elect the boilers, who
will find the question precisely where
they left it. Nothing will have been
gained except the additional burden
of 800, 000 taxation on the shoulders
of the people. Democratic obstinacy
is costly.
