Another Democratic Rebellion.

The Democratic mem bers of the Indi,
ana Legislature last Wednesday deter
mined, in caucus, to break up the legis-
lature by enough of them resigning to
destroy quorum. Those livingin over
whelming by democratic districts and
counties resigned and left the legislature
without the power to pass the appropri-
alton bills or do any kind of legislating.
1t will probably cost the tax payers of
the State Sl50, 900 to hold an extra sss-
sion to pass these bills. The object of
these "White Mans Party" representa-
tives was to prevent the passage of a
resolution ratifying the constitutional
amendment These same "White Mans
Partyn copperheads broke up the legis-
lature in 1858, in order to defeat the
appropriation bills and prevent the
Governor of Indiana from furnishing
her quota of troops to the General Gov
ernment to carry on the war; They
were badly defeated then, for Governor
Morton borrowed the money and saved
the State from disgrace, and they will
be as badly defeated now, for new cleo
tions have been ordered to fill the va
canciss and a special session will be
called. The movement, however, shows
the character of the party. If they can
not succeed by fair, honorable means
they will resort to all kinds of dishonor-
able trickery. The contemplate scoun-
drels took good care to draw their own
pay before they withdrew, although
they have left all the charitable institu-
tions Of the State without appropriations
for the next year. The blind, the insane,
the deaf and dumb, and other objects of
charity have no claims that these dirty,
political trfeksters would stop for a
moment to consider unless their treason
cursed secession party could be benefited
thereby.
The Gyernor has isued the following
proclamation:
ITO the People OF Indiana.
1.-The present session of the General
Assembly has been rendered almost
fruitless of good results by the resigna-
tions of seventeen Senators and thirty
seven Representative, thereby leaving
each House without quorum. Ne ap-
preparations have been made for the or
dinary expenses of the benevolent and
other institutions of the State. Hence
a special session of the General Assem-
bly, at an early day is necessity.
II have, therefore, this day issued
writs of election to the Sheriffs of the
several counties in which vacancies
have occurred by reason of ssid resig-
nations, directing elections to be held on
the 23d day of March, 1859. For the
purpose of making known the order of
said elections, and of indicating my in
tentisn to convene the General Assem-
bly, in special session at as early a day
in the month of April as may seem to be
practicable, 1 have Thought it expedient
to issue this proclamation.
I'm witness where of / have hereto
set my name and caused the seal of the
State to be affixed in the city of Indian
apolis, on this, the third day of March,
1869.

On the Message.

The Herald says that after rehearsing
the different points ofPresident Grants
inaugural here, and then Including the
economy, retrenchment and a faithful
collection of the public revenue, We
have the sailing direction of the new
administration. What is the general
prospect. 1t is one of promise, prosper
ity, progress, development and power at
home and abroad, and so opens the new
book of American history.
The World says the inaugural shows
too much confidence and self sufficien
cy; it lacks that grave and sustained
propriety of expression befitting the
Chief Magistrate. His no original ideas
and everything in the message which is
not fiat is crude, and it is a mere echo OF
the trite commonplace of the Republi-
can press.
The Tribune says the emphatic decla-
ration of President Grant that we should
pay our national debt to the uttermOst
farthing, is worth countless millions to
the labor, commerce and prosperity Oi
the Republic. 1t says that Grant will
be the champion ofthe Monroe Doctrine
and direct his policy towards consolida-
ting and extending republican institu-
tions-upon the North American conti-
nent. 1t hopes to receive from Presi-
dent Grant splendid administration.
The Times says: The inaugural touches
great events, indicates great duties and
propounds great policy with a distinct
ness that leaves nothing jim doubt, and is
the force of true born earnest. General
Grant had something to say, and he has
said it strongly. and with will. 1t says
no one doubts that Gen. Grant will aim
to meet the just wishes and expectations
of the Republican party, not canceding
tbs demands of its individual members
but by promoting the welfare of the
country and building up its prosperity
on the principles of the party as the only
principles on which it can be safely and
permanently done.
The Sun says the inaugural is a plain
and straight forward succinct declara.
ton of the views which will govern the
national executive during the next four
years expresses the conviction ofits
author in a manner in which the popu-
lar heart will everywhere warmly ap-
Dreciate

Observing that the dreadful malady
hydrephobia has become somewhat pre-

York and vicinity, and that the public
are becoming alarmed, beg to acquaint
you that there is a remedy, which, as
far as | know, has never failed.
1t has been used successfully as ali
antidote for hydrephobia, snake bites
and the bites of centipedes; scorpions,
adders and other poisonous animals 1t
is so efficacious that il has been adopted
by the Governments of India, New
South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania
Queensland, South Australia, &C., and
introduced by me successfully in Egypt.
The remedy is under control of the
Governments above mentioned, and ad-
minstered by duly authorized and quali-
fled physicians, and being no secret, and

DURING the last days of his Presiden-

affinity with scoundrelism by pardoning
almost every man who was under sem

President Grant had his attention drawn
to this matter, and promptly interposed
to prevent the delivery ofso many ofthe
pardons as he could. Offenders will take
the hint, that under the new admins

The announcement of the Cabinet has
caused general commotion. What the
politicians style their surprise is thought
by. those not politicians to be rather dis
gust at finding the advice of old politi-
cal hacks so generally ignored. Off ee
seekers are not pleased where the choice
made necessitates the preparation of
new papers. With the exception of
Judge Hoar, of Massachusetts,, Tor At
tsrney General, and Mr.. Borie, of Phil
adelphia, for Secretary of the Navy, the
persons selected are well known to the
country.
E. LOCKWOOD HoAR.
The new Attorney General, Judge E.
Rockweod Hear, was for many years
one of the leading members of the Mas
sachusetts bar, and for a half dozen
years has been on the Supreme Bench
of that State. He is regarded as almost
at the head of the New England bar, is
one of the old school Free Soilers, man
of the highest character and standing,
and an inveterate enemy of fraud and
double dealing in every shape. He is
about fifty-three years of age, In full
possession of all his faculties, is nothing
of q politician, and will be cordially
hated by the whisky ring and all other
corrupt rings in the country.
rgi ADoLPH E. BoRIE.
Mr.. Borie is a retired Philadelphia
merchant, man of ability, of the strict
est integrity, of high standing and of
wealth and culture. He has been for
some time the Vice President of the
famous Union League of Philadelphia.
While not an active politician, he has
always taken q lively interest in the
questions of the day. He is a prenounc-
ed Republican, and has given large
sums to further the interests of that
party in Pennsylvania. The politicians
frsm his State are far from pleased,
though each of the divisions in the Re-
publican party there is glad the other
has not furnished Cabinet minister
Leading men from the State, who are
not politicians, say the appointment is
one of the best that could have been
made from the State.
tf e. B. wAsHBURNE.
Mr.. Washburne's appointment is con-
sidered virtually as complimentary, as
his physicians are decided in the opin-
ion that he cannot undertake the duties.
1t is also understood that he has parti-
ally made his arrangements to go
abroad.
A. It. STEWART.
Politicians generally do no not like
the appointment of Stewart, while those
who support Grant in it say that this
choice, with that of Deiano as Commis-
siener of Internal Revenue, means the
defeat of the whisky ring and Wall
street speculators. re
JACOB d. cox.
The selection of Governor Cox, of
Ohio, for the Interior, gives very gener-
al satisfaction. In fact this is unani-
nous, except with those who opposed
his. course at the time Mr.. johnson
broke with Congress. But all coneede
him ability and an honesty which emf
nently fit him to do the work expected
of him, in breaking down the land spec
ulators and the Indian thieves.

NEW YORK, March THE New York
Herald has the following dispatch:
EFT. HAYES. March 6.-The Indian
war has ended. General Sheridan and
and staff arrived here this AFTERNOON
from Medicine Bluff creek, February "a.
General Custar, with the. 7th Cavalry
and 18th Kansas Volunteers, remained
behind, with orders to move along the
south side of the Wachita Mountains to
the head quarters of Red river; thence
north to the Wachita; thence t2 Camp
Supply, at the junction of Beaver and
Wolf rivers Affairs at Medicine Bluff
creek areIin a highly satisfactory condi.
ton. The Indians are confident that
they can find protection at no season of
the year, and the campaign has proved
a salutary lesson. There is not a hostile
Indian in the limits of the Missouri De-
partment. The refractory tribes have
been entirely subdued. The few that
have not yet come in, but have made
promises, have been driven out of the
Department. The troops are healthy,
Weather cold. The camp of supply at
the forks of the North Canadian will
be kept up for the present. Before reach
ing this point the General met a courier,
sent with telegraph announcement OF
his promotion to the Lieutenant Gener-
sloy. The Generals arrival was entire
ly surprise. He leaves by special train
tomorrow for Fort Leavenworth, thence
Immediately to Washington, whittier he
