quick on the trigger for him, and, with
the assistance of Major Lyle, the scamp
was arrested, and is now at Centreville,

the property of Joseph Jackson, near

THE QUORUM QUESTION.

: In to days paper. 6rst page, we pub
lish an able document from the pen Of
Senator Morton. It needs. from US. no
approval. as It speaks for itself in plain
English. The legal question, If indeed
there be any, which Democrats have
raised, since their signal defeat, is han
died In that clear, of hand manner char
acteristic with the Senator, and which
elbows that he is ssmaster of tho situa
tionY and "equal to the emergency."-
True, many Republicans, who are not
illegal advisers and who have read moth
ing but garbled reports, or sensational
articles, concerning the proceedings had
on the occasion Of the passage Of the
Fifteenth Amendment, have had conflict
ing opinions; but now, the whole thing
ia laid bare before the public, and it is
hoped that every Republican paper in
the State will give it pubDcation-not
synopsis, but q fall report.
After reading this argument few will
fail to coincide with the Senator upon
the legality Of the passage of the Fiji
teenth Amendm entail will concede the
force of the argument, even the Dem
rocrats, who are ever determined not to
be convinced of anything emanating
from Republican source. This then
sits at rest all doubts and it can be
safely set down that Congress will ac-
cept the Ratification Of the State Of In
diana,rti,e same as any State in tile
Union.
The position the Democrats assume
is this: that two.thirds Of the members
elected, or whose election is provided
for by law are necessary to q quorum.
But this is not what the Constitution
says. II declares that ''two-thirds Of
each House shall constitute quorum to
do business Discussing this question
the Chicago Tribune says: "Is it not
plain that member who resigns is no
longer part Of the House? Is not the
very meaning and intent of his resigna.
ton that he shall cease to be part of the
House, and shall thcnceforth stand in
the same position relative to the House
as any citizen Of the State who was
never elected to the House. But if he
is not part of the House, then he is no
part of the body of which two-thirds
are required to make q quorum. The
"two thirds is computed only upon the
actual House, and that consists of mem
bers who have not resigned"

The Slave Trade Courts.

The President will soon, in obedience
to recent act of Congress, formally
request Great Britain to put an end to
that part of the treaty of April 7, 1862,
which requires mixed courts to be kept
up at New York, Sierra Leone and Cape
Town for the trial of persons engaged
in the slave trade who may be brought
before them. If Great Britain consents
then the salaries of the United States
Judges and afbitrators connected with
these mixed courts, amounting to $12-
500 per annum, are to cease; but it has
been intimated that the British Govern
ment is of the opinion that the courts
should be kept up.
