lNpIANApoIIs, Ind Aug. %. The
question Of the. Senatorial succession
having been mooted in case of the
death Of Senator Morton, it is well to
say that the Legislature. does not
meet in this State but once in two
years. The next session will be in
January, 1879, and then there will be
| less than two months of Mr.. Morton's
term to fill In the meantime the
Governor has the power to appoint,
and there is a general acquiescence
among tho Democracy to the success
sion of Dan Voorhees, to Senator
Morton's seat. This is to be his pay
ment for his withdrawal in favor Of
Mcdonald two years ago, and also
for his conduct in the last campaign As
"groOmer' Of Gov. Williams.
