bled their prices.

Political.

NDIANA-EXCITEMENT.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 23.-Much excitement
exists here to-day in consequence of the resi2-
nation, this morning, of thiity-four republican
members of the house, which prevents further
legislation this session. The reason assigned is
the attempt of the democratic majority to pass
a bill redistricting the state, in violation of the
constitution, which provides that the state shall
NOT be redstricted Oftener than in six years.
The last redistrictlng was four years ago.
Lieutenant Governor Cumback expressed the
opinion that it takes two.thrds of all the mem
bers of each house to constitute quorum, and
he will not recognize anything that the remain
ing members do. The speaker of the house also
gave the same opinion, this morning, after re-
ceiying the governors message, announcing the
resignation of the republican members of the
house. Some of the democratic members differ
from the speaker, and advocate continuing leg
Slaton.
There was quite commotion in political cir
cles to-day, and a lively time is anticipated.
The constitutional limit of the session expires
on the 9th of March, and there is not time to
elect members to ill the places of those who re-
signed.
NEW JERsEY-RAlLRoAD CHARGES.
TRENTON, Feb. 23.-The house, this afternoon,
instructed the judiciary committee to inquire
what legislation is necessary to protect the peo-
pie of this state against the eXtortionate railroad
charges.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ISLAND.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 23.-The mayor, to-day,
sent message to the city council, recommend
ing action to secure, from congress- a recogni.
ton OF the obligations of the federal authorities,
resulting from the acceptance of League Island
as site for Il navy yard.

vention to-day nominated: James o. Campbell,
associate justice of the supreme court; Colonel
Caudius B. Grant, Ann Arbor, and DR.. Charles

ARKANsAs-ANoTHER CHAPTER.
LITTLE Rock, Feb. 2S.-0nly nine senators
were present to day, and neither branch OF the
legislature transacted any business. Two war
rants in the case against Lieut.. Gov. johnson
were completed in the supreme court to-day,
JohnsonS counsel submitting tue case without
argument. Gov. Clayton's plan is to keep
skulking senators out Of the way, until the SUI
preme court makes au order TO GUST johnson,
and then have them return, when he will resi- IN
his position as governor, and let the senate elect
Mallory president, and then turn the gov
errors office over to HIM. But, even if this is
doue, johnson would appeal to the supreme
court of the United States, and, meantime,
Claim his position as governor, and call on the
federal government to sustain him. Tomorrow
