On motion of Mr. HEFFREN, the Hon. Cutler S. Dobbins, ths member elect from the county of Martin, came forward, presented his credentials, received the oath of a member and took his seat.
The journal of yesterday having been read-
Mr. DAVIS said we had agreed to take upwards of 10,600 copies of the Governor's Messages, and he was apprehensive that they would not be distributed before the end of the session. We might get 15 or 16 copies apiece, and the balance would remain in the stationery rooms. He would vote to move a re-consideration. If we could get them in due time, he would like to take them.
The SPEAKER. There is nothing before the House.
The SPEAKER laid before the House communications from the Clerk and Doorkeeper respectively responding to the order moved by Mr. Packard yesterday.
The Doorkeeper reported that he had appointed John Johnson principal assistant Door-keeper, and other asssstants, viz: Samuel Hazard, J. N. Johnson, R. A. Vance, Jno. Campbell; also, David Hurley and B. C. Hoyt, firemen, and Erastus Jennerson, messenger. His employees were sufficient until the Committees should be organized.
The Clerk reported names, but that he had not yet fully organized his clerical force.
The SPEAKER announced the Committee of Thirteen to consider all propositions on the State of the Union, viz Messrs. Bundy,; Veatch, Jenkinson, Heffren, Branham, Prosser,Grover, Burgess, Newman, Knowlton, McLean, Hord and Hull.
The SPEAKER also announced the Special Committee under Mr. Packard's order to consider the Governor's recommendation with respect to the law of Insurance, viz: Messrs, Packard, Hopkins, Lee, Pelts and Bryant.
Mr. Roberts submitted joint resolution [12] rehearsing that whereas, treason, as defined by the Constitution of the United States, exists in one or more of the States of this Union; and whereas, the insurgent State of South Carolina, by seizing the Postoffice, Custom house, moneys and fortifications of the General Government, and by firing into a vessel ordered by the Government to convey troops and provision to Fort Sumter in that State, has virtually declared war; and whereas, the forts and property of the Untied States Government in Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana have been unlawfully seized, with treasonable and hostile intentions; and whereas, certain Senators and Congressmen avow and sanction their treasonable acts ; therefore resolved, &c., 1.-That being profoundly impressed with the value and importance of the American Union, and being determined to preserve it at all hazards, we hail with joy the recent bold, firm, dignified and patriotic position assumed in the special message of the President to the
page: 47[View Page 47]Congress of the United States, in regard to the rebellious proceedings of the State of South Carolina; That we tender him, through the Chief Magistrate of our own State, whatever aid in men and money may be required to enable him to enforce the laws and uphold the authority of the Federal Government, and in defence of the Union, which has conferred happiness and prosperity on the American people-renewing the pledge given and redeemed by our fathers, we are ready to devote "our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honors" in upholding the Union and the Constitution.
2. That the Union-loving citizens and representatives of the States of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee, who labor with devoted courage and patriotism to withhold their States from the vortex of secession, are entitled to the gratitude and admiration of the whole American people.
3. That the Governor forward a copy of these resolutions to the President of the United States, to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress, and to each of the Governors of the States of this Union, with a request that the same be laid before their respective Legislatures.
Mr. Roberts said : Mr. Speaker, these resolutions are a verbatim, copy of the resolutions which were unanimously adopted by the New York Legislature on Friday of last week. I devoutly hope, Sir, that the Legislature of Indiana will adopt these resolutions, and then join hands with the General Assembly of the "Empire Strte" in rebuking treason, and in defence of the liberties of the people. I move, Sir, that they be referred to the Committee of Thirteen.
The resolutions were referred accordingly.
Mr. FRAZIER introduced a bill [31] to repeal sec. 15 of the act concerning promissory notes and bills of exchange, approved May 12, 1852, also to repeal sections 881 and 445 of the Practice act, approved June 18,1852, so as to provide a uniform rale for the sale of property on execution or other process:
Mr. BUNDY: [32.] To provide for the rights of married women in cases of the sale of lands on execution, or by virtue of any judicial proceeding, and in all other cases where the wife does not consent to the sale :
Mr. McLEAN: [33.] To perfect the title of purchasers of railroads by foreclosing mortgage or other proceeding either in law or equity, &c., and to enable them to organize corporations and exercize corporate powers:
[A message from the Senate announced that that body had concurred in the House resolution of invitation to the Honorable Abraham Lincoln to visit the General Assembly.]
Mr. McLEAN, as this was a long bill, to save time, he moved to suspend the rules, so that it may be read the second time by its title now.
The SPEAKER (Mr. Sherman in the chair) stated the constitutional provisition requiring the yeas and nays on this motion, and they were orderd ; being taken, resulted-yeas 45, nays 46, so (two-thirds not voting in the affirmative) the order was not suspended.
Mr. ORR: [34.] Authorizing any and all persons to prevent any affray, or an assault and battery, or breach of the peace, and providing punishment for any one holding back or preventing any person from hindering an affray:
Which were severally passed to the second reading to-morrow.
Mr. WARRUM submitted a resolution directing the Judiciary Committee to inquire whether there is now in force in the State of Indiana any law authorizing slaveholders to pass through this State with their slaves, and if not, that the committee report a bill giving the right of transit to slaveholders with their slaves.
Mr. FISHER objected to the imperative terms of the resolution.
Mr. LANE moved to lay it on the table, but did not press the motion.
Mr. FRASIER moved to refer it to the Committee of Thirteen.
Mr. STOTSENBURG. Why refer this to a Committee to consider national affairs ? He desired to get rid of the matter now, and proposed to amend so that the committee report as to the expediency of such a bill.
The SPEAKER, The amendment is inadmissible.
Mr. PROSSER moved that it be referred to a select committee.
Mr. MOODY made a point of order against debate. There was a rule that all resolutions of this character should go to the Committee of Thirteen without debate.
Mr. NEBEKER desired to keep this eternal nigger question out. It had split the Democratic party, and he supposed gentlemen on the other side hoped it would split the Republican party. All he wanted was to stop its discussion here.
Mr. PROSSER supposed the number five would be proper for the amendment he had offered. He concurred with the gentleman from Warren in his desire to get rid of the nigger question.
Mr. NEBEKER desired to amend so as to take away its imperative character.
Mr. BUNDY. The resolution was imperativeit requires the Committee to report a bill. It was immaterial what committee received itit was imperative to bring in a bill. He moved that the resolution and amendments be laid on the table.
The yeas and nays being demanded, ordered and taken on the question, resultedyeas 59, nays 38.
page: 48[View Page 48]So the resolution and amendments were laid on the table.
Mr. CASON submitted a bill [35] to amend section 238 of the Practice act of June 18. 1852, so as to admit parties in civil actions to testify in their own behalf:
Mr. WOODHULL: [36.] For the relief of the heirs of Michael O Brien deceased :
Mr. EDSON: [37.] To amend section 8 of the liquor law of 1859, and to allow boards o commissioners to make locations of school-house sites, and to erect and repair school-houses:
Which were severally passed to the second reading to-morrow.
Mr. HOLCOMB submitted a joint resolution [14] being a memorial to Congress on the State of the Union. [It is identical with that printed in the Senate proceedings of this day submitted by Mr. Ray.]
Mr. HEFFREN would make a statement that gentlemen might understrnd the reason of a motion he desired to make. These resolutions were the production and result of the Democratic cuacus of memkers last night. He asked not to debate them, but that the question might be taken on a motion to suspend the rule-the operation of the resolution of the gentleman from Spencer, (Mr. Veatch,) and a vote directly upon the adoption of the memorial. The paper should not be regarded as coming from a party. It was in the name of the whole body of the General Assembly.
Mr. BINGHAM concurred heartily with the gentlemen from Washington and Harrison, that propositions looking to the condition of the country at the present time ought not to be regarded as of a partizan character. But the gentleman had announced that it was the united voice of the Democratic party. Under these circumstances, when it was asked to suspend a rule of the majority to enable gentlemen to consider such a proposition, he objected.
Mr. HEFFREN did not regard it as a partizan proposition.
Mr. BINGHAM. But at the same time it was announced that it was adopted by a party in caucus, lie saw no good reason for making the exception sought in the case of this memorial. With the same propriety other gentlemen might prepare other plans for the adjustment of national disturbances, and insist that they should be exempt from the operation of the resolution of the gentleman from Spencer. He opposed all exemptions unhestitatingly, and insisted that this matter should take the course of every resolution of a similar character.
The SPEAKER decided Mr. Heffren's motion out of order. The Chair did not understand Mr. Veatch's resolution as a rule of the House, and the only way its effect could be obviated would be by repeal.
Mr. HEFFREN acquiesced. He had simply asked it as a matter of courtesy.
Mr. MOORMAN submitted two resolution declaring that the provisions of the Constitution are ample for the preservation of Union and protection of all the national interests of the country; that it needs to be obeyed rather than amended, and our release from our present difficulties is to be looked fof in strenuous efforts to preserve and protect public property and enforce laws, rather than new guarantees for particular intent, or compromise, or concession.
2. That all attempts to dissolve the or to overthrow the Constitution, or even to call a convention under the present excite, ment, are dangerous and illusory, and in the opinion of this House, no compromise is practicable, and, therefore to the maintainance of the existing Union and Constitution should be directed all the energies of the government.
They were referred to the Committee of Thirteen.Mr. PACKARD offered a resolution in reference <o the inaugural of Governor Lane-regarding it as incendiary in the present crisis, and as not representing the views of the people of Indiana.
They took the same direction.
The SPEAKER laid before the House, the Report of the Trustees of the Wabash and Erie Canal.
Mr. NEBEKER submitted an order that it be referred to the Committee on Canals and Internal Improvements, and that 500 copies be printed.
Mr. JENKINSON proposed 2,000.
Mr. HEFFREN. Why print it at all.
Mr. NEBEKER. We want to know by what means the canal is kept up. It is a question of vast interest to us, but we ask only the usual number. If the gentleman can spare any of his copies, let him send them to the Wabash region.
Mr. Jenkinson's amendment was rejected.
Mr. BRANHAM. It seems unusual to refer a thing for a committee when the House know nothing about it.
Mr. NEBEKER had received the report from the resident, trustee on the part of the bondholders, and he had no doubt it was the report of the trustees of the Wabash and Erie Canal. If the House would order the printing, gentlemen could read it at their leisure.
Mr. BRANHAM desired the gentleman to withdraw the reference-he desired merely to lay on the table and print.
Mr. NEBEKER acquiesced, and the order was made accordingly.
Mr. FEAGLER submitted an order rehearsing, that, whereas, Col. John Vawter, the first U. S. Marshal for the District of Indiana, a soldier in the war of 1812, and for many years a member of the Legislature of the page: 49[View Page 49] State, now in this city, Be it resolved, that he be invited to a seat inside of the Hall during the time the remains in the city.
Mr. HEFFREN proposed to amend by extending the invitation to all soldiers of the war of 1812.
Mr. PARRETT would like to provide against the soldiers coming here for the purpose of getting a seat.
Mr. FEAGLER was willing to accept the amendment of Mr. Heffren. Col. Vawter was an old veteran. He received the appointment of Marshal of Indiana from President Madison.
Mr. ORR did not consider that there was anything to prohibit these characters from the floor.
Mr. PROSSER. It would give him pleasure to vote for the resolution. Col. Vawter was his neighbor.
Mr. MOORMAN was willing to extend all honor to the soldiers of the war of 1812, but there was danger of inviting a crowd.
Mr HEFFREN was willing to accept the invitation in all its extent.
Under the operation of the previous question demanded by Mr. McLEAN, the resolution was adopted as amended.
Mr. FERGUSON asked and obtained leave of absence for Mr. Stephenson, whose son died yesterday morning.
Mr. JONES, of Vermillion, from the Committee on Stationery, reported that in the apportionment of postage stamps for members, each member must be minus one three cent stamp for the cost of exchange on the gold to purchase them.
Mr. WOODHULL submitted a resolution, which was adopted, requesting the Auditor of State to procure of the several county auditors a statement of the whole amount for which warrants or orders were drawn on the Treasury of their respective counties in favor of said auditors for official services rendered by them, from the 18th of June, 1859, to the 1st of June, 1860 ; and that he report the same to this House.
Mr BRUCKER introduced a bill [H. R.38,] to amend sections 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 11 of the act to regulate the sale of liquors, approved March 5, 1859; which was passed to the second reading to-morrow.
Mr. GRESHAM submitted a joint resolution, [14,] declaring that the people of this State still retain their affection for the Union inherited from the generation of men who achieved our liberties in the great struggle for independence, and secured them in that sacred instrument the Constitution, in which justice is established, domestic tranquility is insured, and the common defense and general welfare are provided for; and they regard its perpetuation as the only safe guaranty for the continuance of the wonderful prosperity and happiness which have led us to our present high position amongst the great powers of the earth; and they deny the right of any member of tin's confederacy to repudiate the Constitution made by all the people of the States, by seceding from the Union, and thereby disturbing the harmony and periling the happiness of the whole.
2. That while they would not deny to any State a right guaranteed by the Constitution, they insist that the authority of the general government shall be maintained and the constitutional laws of Congress impartially enforced in all the States and Territories; and that the armed resistance to the execution thereof, on the part, of the citizens of any State is treason.
3. That the people of Indiana are opposed to any interference by the Government or people of our State with the domestic institutions of another; that they ever have and always will maintain the same respect for the rights of other States which the zealously exact for their own ; that they will scrupulously discharge all their constitutional obligations toward sister States, and they demand a like observance of the same from the other States of the Union.
4. That if any State of this Union has enactments on its statute books in conflict with the provisions of the Federal Constitution, or any of the laws of Congress passed in pursuance thereof, it is the duty of such State to repeal the same.
5. That it is the duty of the Federal Government, and of the several States, to secure to the citizens of each State all the privileges and immunities of citizens of the several States as guaranteed in the Constitution, and a failure to discharge this obligation will destroy that harmony and paternal feeling which lie at the foundation of our free institutions.
6. That the conduct of these patriotic men, who in the midst of the tide of disunion which is sweeping over a portion of our once happy country, still retain their affection for the Union and are bravely battling for the preservation of the authority of the General Government, excites our earnest sympathies and challenges our admiration.
7. That, in view of the fact that a portion of the citizens of some of the States of this Union are in open armed rebellion against the power and authority and threaten the overthrow of the General Government, we hereby pledge, whenever necessary and demanded, in strict subordination to the civil authority, for the maintainance of the Constitution and laws of the General Government, the entire power and resources of the State of Indiana.
They were referred to the Committee of Thirteen.
Mr. BOBBINS, from the Special Committee on Newspapers, reported an order that the page: 50[View Page 50]Door-keeper procure three copies of the Daily Journal and the Daily Sentinel, two of which shall be enveloped and stamped; also one copy of the Volksblatt and of the Free Press, both to be enveloped and stamped; also one copy of the Weekly American-all to be placed upon the desk of each member.
Mr. HEFFREN objected to the Free Press or account of one of the articles in its last issue
Mr. FISHER proposed to strike out all except the Journal and Sentinel, which was accepted by Mr. Heffren. But without coming to any conclusion thereon-
The House took a recess till 2 o'clock.
Mr. MOODY demanded the previous question on the adoption of the Newspaper Committee's report, and the demand was seconded by the House.
The SPEAKER. According to Jefferson's Manual the previous question cuts off all amendments, which will not be the case under the rules we will adopt.
Mr. HEFFREN demanded the yeas and nays, which being ordered and taken, resulted-yeas 64, nays 32.
So the report was adopted.
Mr. FRASIER made an ineffectual effort to resolve the House into Committee of the Whole upon the consideration of Ex-Governor Hammond's message.
On motion by Mr. BUNDY it was ordered that the Principal and Principal Assistant Clerk be allowed each three dollars' worth of postage stamps.
The SPEAKER laid before the House the report of the Bank of the State and the various Branches thereof.

2011 Season Preview - Penrith Panthers
2011 is a year where the Panthers once again go in with the labels of pretenders. If the Panthers are to prove that last season was not a fluke, then Matthew Elliott and his mountain men must step up and deliver again.

Aug. 28, 2013, Outdoor Activities in Nature Can Make Kids Healthier and More Ready to Learn (NEEF)
Register here. Sedentary lifestyle and physical inactivity have contributed greatly to the numerous health problems plaguing today's children. Chronic conditions such as childhood obesity, asthma, attention-deficit disorder, and vitamin D deficiency have all increased over the past few decades. These conditions may lead to pulmonary, cardiovascular and mental health problems in adulthood. Outdoor activity in the natural environment has taken a back seat to television, video games, the computer, and a demanding schoolwork and extracurricular schedule. Many low-income and minority children are often more cut-off from nature due to the built environment around them: poor housing conditions, high-volume traffic, and a lack of parks and green space. While losing contact with the natural environment, today's youth are missing key opportunities for physical activity, stress reduction, attention restoration, and healthy development.

It is the spring of 1861. Scarlett O'Hara, a pretty Southern belle, lives on Tara, a large plantation in Georgia. She concerns herself only with her numerous suitors and her desire to marry Ashley Wilkes. One day she hears that Ashley is engaged to Melanie Hamilton, his frail, plain cousin... read more (warning: may contain spoilers)
"After all, tomorrow is another day"Scarlett O'Hara
"I believe women could manage everything in the world without men's help -- except having babies, and God knows, no woman in her right mind would have babies if she could help it."Scarlett O'Hara
"My dear, I don't give a damn."Rhett Butler
"Home! That was where she wanted to go. That was where she was running. Home to Rhett."
"Now she knew the haven she had sought in dreams, the place of warm safety which had always been hidden from her in the mist. It was not Ashley --oh, never Ashley! <...> It was Rhett. <...> He loved her! Why hadn't she realized that he loved her, for all his taunting remarks to the contrary?"
""Damn your looks! You know you always look beautiful to me!""Ashley Wilkes
""All wars are sacred," he said. "To those who have to fight them. If the people who started wars didn't make them sacred, who would be foolish enough to fight? But, no matter what rallying cries the orators give to the idiots who fight, no matter what noble purposes they assign to wars, there is never but one reason for a war. And that is money. All wars are in reality money squabbles. But so few people ever realize it. Their ears are too full of bugles and drums and fine words from stay-at-home orators. Sometimes the rallying cry is 'Save the Tomb of Christ from the Heathen!' Sometimes it's 'Down with Popery!' and sometimes 'Liberty!' and sometimes 'Cotton, Slavery and States' Rights!'""Rhett Butler
""There's just as much money to be made in the wreck of a civilization as in the upbuilding of one.""Rhett Butler
"But, Scarlett, did it ever occur to you that even the most deathless love could wear out? <...> Did it ever occur to you that I loved you as much as a man can love a woman? Loved you for years before I finally got you? During the war I'd go away and try to forget you, but I couldn't and I always had to come back and find you."Rhett Butler
"It doesn't matter who you marry, as long as he thinks like you and is a gentleman and a Southerner and prideful."Gerald O'Hara
""Mistress!...What would I get out of that except a parcel of brats?""Scarlett O'Hara
"There was something breathtaking in the grace of his big body which made his very entrance like an abrupt physical impact."Scarlett O'Hara
""There ain't nothin' that walks can lick us...But that weakness that's in our hearts can lick us in the time it takes to bat your eye.""
"With enough courage, you can do without a reputation."Rhett Butler
"I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow."Scarlett O'Hara
"I can't go all my life waiting to catch you between husbands."Rhett Butler
"What I've wished for so often has happened. I've wished Melly was dead so I could have him. And now she's dead and I've got him and I don't want him."Scarlett O'Hara
"Why, all we have is cotton and slaves and arrogance."Rhett Butler
"The only time crying ever did any good was when there was a man around from whom you wished favours."
"I loved you but I couldn't let you know it. You're so brutal to those who love you, Scarlett. You take their love and hold it over their heads like a whip."Rhett Butler
"Land is the only thing in the world that amounts to anything," he shouted, his thick, short arms making wide gestures of indignation, "for 'tis the only thing in this world that lasts, and don't you be forgetting it! 'Tis the only thing worth working for, worth fighting for—worth dying for."Gerald O'Hara
"It was a memorable day in the life of the twins. Thereafter, when they talked it over, they always wondered just why they had failed to notice Scarlett's charms before. They never arrived at the correct answer, which was that Scarlett on that day had decided to make them notice. She was constitutionally unable to endure any man being in love with any woman not herself, and the sight of India Wilkes and Stuart at the speaking had been too much for her predatory nature. Not content with Stuart alone, she had set her cap for Brent as well, and with a thoroughness that overwhelmed the two of them"
"Babies, babies, babies. Why did God make so many babies? But no, God didn't make them. Stupid people made them."
""They could burn the roof over us. I did not want to leave anyway -- leave Tara--". His voice trailed off into silence as he looked absently about the walls and Scarlett understood. There were too many Irish ancestors crowding behind Gerald's shoulders, men who had died on scant acres, fighting to the end rather than leave the homes where they had lived, plowed, loved, begotten sons."
"You can tell your curious friends that when I marry it will be because I couldn't get the woman I wanted in any other way. And I've never yet wanted a woman bad enough to marry her."Rhett Butler
"There's nothing after we die, Scarlett. You are having your hell now."Rhett Butler
"Oh, yes, you've been faithful to me because Ashley wouldn't have you. But, hell, I wouldn't have grudged him your body. ùi know how little bodies mean -- especially women's bodies. But I do grudge him your heart and your dear, hard, unscrupulous, stubborn mind. He doesn't want your mind, the fool, and I don't want your body. I can buy women cheap. But I do want your mind and your heart, and I'll never have them, any more than you'll ever have Ashley's mind. And that's why I'm sorry for you."Rhett Butler
"But for all the modesty of her spreading skirts, the demureness of hair netted smoothly into a chignon and the quietness of small white hands folded in her lap, her true self was poorly concealed. The green eyes in the carefully sweet face were turbulent, willful, lusty with life, distinctly at variance with her decorous demeanor. Her manners had been imposed upon her by her mother's gentle admonitions and the sterner discipline of her mammy; her eyes were her own."
"They were all healthy, thoughtless young animals, sleek, graceful, high-spirited, the boys as mettlesome as the horses they rode, mettlesome and dangerous but, withal, sweet tempered to those who knew how to handle them."
"It was a savagely red land, blood-colored after rains, brick dust in droughts, the best cotton land in the world. It was a pleasant land of white houses, peaceful plowed fields and sluggish yellow rivers, but a land of contrasts, of brightest sun glare and densest shade. The plantation clearings and miles of cotton fields smiled up to a warm sun, placid, complacent. At their edges rose the virgin forests, dark and cool even in the hottest noons, mysterious, a little sinister, the soughing pines seeming to wait with an age old patience, to threaten with soft sighs: "Be careful! Be careful! We had you once. We can take you back again.""
"You know she said I was going to marry a gentleman with jet-black hair and a long black mustache, and I don't like black-haired gentlemen."Scarlett O'Hara
"She was constitutionally unable to edure any man being in love with any woman not herself"
"Men and women, they were beautiful and wild, all a little violent under their pleasant ways and only a little tamed."
"He swung about, facing the crowd, clicked his heels together and bowed like a dancing master, a bow that was graceful for so powerful a man, and as full of impertinence as a slap in the face."
"Eavesdroppers often hear highly entertaining and instructive things."Rhett Butler
"Vanity was stronger than love at sixteen and there was no room in her hot heart now for anything but hate."
"How closely women clutch the very chains that bind them!"Rhett Butler
"Until you've lost your reputation, you never realize what a burden it was or what freedom really is.""Rhett Butler
"I know I'm crazy but I don't care. I don't care a bit what anybody says."Scarlett O'Hara
"All had suffered crushing misfortunes and had not been crushed...Tara was her fate, her fight, and she must conquer it."
"She saw in a flash of clarity untouched by any petty emotion that beneath the gentle voice and the dovelike eyes of Melanie there was a thin flashing blade of unbreakable steel, felt too that there were banners and bugles of courage in Melanie's quiet blood."
"That had taken courage, the kind of courage Scarlett honestly knew she herself did not possess, the thin-steel, spun-silk courage which had characterized Melanie..."
"As Frank said, it was a pushy, impudent place and that was why she liked it."
"It's a young age to have gained the whole world and lost your own soul, isn't it?"Rhett Butler
