INDIANA.
The Legislature Knocked Into " PI."

INDIANAPOLIS, February 23.-COn.
siderable excitement was caused here
to-day by the resignation this fore
noon of four members Of the House,
which prevents any further legisla-
ton this session. The reason as
signed is the attempt of the Demo.
cratic majority to pass the bill re-
distTicting the State, in violation OF
the Constitution, which provides that
the State shall not be re-districted Of
tener than every six years, while it
was last re -districted four years ago.
INDIANAPOLIS, February 23.-Lieu-
tenant Governor Cumback expresses
the opinion that it takes tWO-thirds of
all the members of each house to con-
stitute a quorum, and says that he
will not recognize anything the re-
naming members Of the House may
do. The Speaker Of the House also
gave the same opinion this morning,
after receiving the Governors mes
sage, announcing the resigna-
tiOn of the Republican members
Of the House. Some of the Demo-
cratic members differ from the
Speaker, and advocate continuing
legislation. The appropriation bills,
tax bill, and the most necessary legis-
latiOn was disposed of before the Re.
publican members Of the House re-
signed. There is quite a cOmmOtiOn
in political circles tonight, and q
lively time is anticipated tomorrow.
The constitutional limit of the session
expires on the 9th Of March, 80 there
is not time to elect members to fill
the places of those resigned.

THEN AND Now-THE MAN OF NERVE
From the Baltimore Gazsttel
WASHINGTON, D. c., February 16.
Whatever may be thought or said
TO the contrary, it will appear plain
enough when an impartial historian
shall have written of the origin of the
war of 1S6l-'6j, that hOstilities were
premeditated and forced by the Rad
iCal leaders. 1t is notorious that, for
this express purpose, Mr.. Seward was
thrown overheard at the Chicago Con-
ventiOn in 1860, and man Of more
nerUe" selected in his stead. Then, as
now, Northern hate was appealed to
then, as now, the principle Of force
was insisted upon, in the outset, as
the only panacea for differences Of
opinion in government founded eX-
pressly upon the consent of the gov
erned. Virginia (the "bOrder States"
agreeing with herr had just decided
against secession by 0,0O0 majority,
when "the man of nerve" called for
70, 900 troops, with which to invade
her soil. The Radical leaders now in
tend to exclude the Southern vote, en-
masse, II needs be, under the cry of
Ku-KluX, and as many Northern elec
toral votes as shall suffice their pur-
poses, on the plea of frauds in the cleo
tiOns-especially in large Democratic
cities.
THE PLOT Is PERFECT.
Such desperate RObespierres, Dan
tons and Marats as Morton, Chandler
and Butler have been given the reins
undisguisedly, and with apparently
almost the universal consent of the
Radical party in Congress. Senator
Blair touched, indirectly, these points,
in his great speech, with a significance
that the country had better pay some
little attention TO. The short turn OF
the Administration on the Alabama
question may here find a solution. It
is utterly impossible that a govern
ment can be permanent, founded, as
it will probably be in a few years,
upon the principle Of military force,
and yet remain under the forms Of
Republicauism. Let the people stand
ready to meet the crisis when the
mask is thrown aside.

The Miners Benevolent Associa-
fiOu publishes q statement Of the
causes which led to the suspension Oi
operations in coal mines. At the
commencement the operators had a
surplus stock Of 1900, 600 tons Of coal
on hand, and a subsequent rise OF two
dollars per ton has already netted the
sum of $4,000, 900. The miners, with
ont exception, are ready to resume
work. but the operators chief object
Sc to lessen the supply and advance
prices still higher, and then throw the
blame on the miners for this public
outrage practiced by themselves.

stretches out into tWenUY-nln6 vol

ing preface in a translation from the
Danish of Andersen's autObiOgraphic
account Of the incidents which gave

the order in which he wrote them.
A SINGLE specimen Of Egyptian
carpet is said to exist, which adds an
other thread TO the broken web Of

torian: " A small rug, made with
woOlen threads on linen strings, with
ornament Of blue and red on g yellow
ground" How the carpets were
woven we are not told, but may guess
they were the work Of busy fingers.
Machinery in our day has put fingers
out Of Joint in carpet and other fabric
manufactures. With due respect for
the Egyptians, we must, until we
learn differently, retain the idea that
the best of our modern carpets at least
equal theirs an elaboration, with the
