SOME of the Iowa papers are Jiscussing the prospects of Hon. J. WILSON for the next Republican nomination for the Presidency.

MORE than 5/00 voters neglected to vote in St. Louis at the late election Only 19,854 ballots were deposited, while in the election for Congressmen, in 1808, 25,395 votes were cast.

A CONVENTION will be held in Nebraska in June to amend the State Constitution. The hill providing for it passed the Legislature by the votes of the Republicans, many Democrats opposing it.

GEN. REUB. WII-MAMS, the popular editor of the Warsaw Indianian, and hia accomplished wife,celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of their marriage, Thursday evening last, with a crystal wedding.

ARTICLES of association of the Louisville Cement Company, of Jefl'ersonville, and the First Duilding and Loan Fund Association, of Union City, have been filed with the Secretary of Sate. Capital stock of each, $100,000.

THE Journal didn't stop to think what sort of a ticket it would have to support, when it made its piteous appeal to "the laboring men." But the working men of Terre Ilauio will snon see the two tickets, and they will not be long in recognizing their fiiends.

A WASHINGTON SPECIAL says the President has not abandoned his contemplated trip, with his family, to the Pacific ('out, and has made his arrangements for being absent .six weeks. The date of his departure is jet uncertain, owing to the doubt as to the result of the sessions of the Joint Iligh Cotr.misfion and the necessity of calling an extra session of Senate.

Is the Marion Criminal Court on the 13th, the Prosecuting Attorney entered a nolle prosequi in the ca-e of BENJAMIN F. JOHNSON, charged with the murder of HICKMAN R. HILL, the State having no new evidence to offer. It will be recollected that on a former trial the jury were discharged, afterdeliberatingtwenty six hours, being unable to agree, and standing throughout eleven for acquittal.

FKOM the South Bend Register we learn that, on last Sunday afternoon some children, while hunting eggs in DANIEL GUEENAWALT'S large barn, just without the city limits, found the dead body of a man lying on the straw in one of the lofts, with a three-gallon demijohn, containing about a pint of gin, by his side. The discovery created the greatest excitement) and it was soon ascertained that the corpse was that of a btltcher named JOHN G. MUUPIIY. I

A CINCINNATI PAPER learni tlv^t JAMES BROWN, a respectable farmer of Noble county, Ohio, who is entitled to a pension under the late act for the benefit of soldiers of the war of 1812, patriotically refuses to avail himself of the proffered bounty. To a claim agent who proposed to file an application for him, Ml- BROAVN said: "No, sir, never, while the country counts its deb^ by billions. 1 want no pension. I will never take any." He is a near kinsman of old JOHN BROWN, of Harper's Ferry memory, is nearly eighty, strong of body and mind, and a man of rare intelligence, having been a great reader and independent thinker from his youth.

AT Lafayette and Vincennes, and wherever ?lse they have dared to do K), the Democracy have placed the avowed enemies of free schools on the School 'Boards. This city—by a compromise— narrowly escaped the same fate.

So long as the Democratic party is dependent for its life on the votes of those who hate free schools, who cannot possibly be otherwise than the bitter enemies of free schools, is it eafe to trust the control of our glorious system of public education in the hands of that party? Can the party be safely trusted to resist the demands of the numerous class who constitute its main element of strength, and •without whose votes it could not exist? '^his is a very serious, practical question. 'e have already seen the demand made for a portion of the school fund to support

a Rec

arian school in our city. We have

seen

oo, a demand that a class who are

bitterly Jw*jile to free school*, and whose children forbidden by their cUarch authorities attend them, shall be represented on tlMssSieliool Board. How long may we lio^fC tor-'iwipe Jhe destruction of our whole school system, il the election of School Trustees is continued in the hands of the party djat cannot exist for a day without tlie votes of those who make these demands?

THE editor of the Terre Ilanle Express is a knave- The Journal, of this city publifhes an infamous lie concerning the editor of the Courier, and the Express, knowing it to be such, reproduces it. We can stand the liar, but despise the knave, —ErunsrL'le Courier.

As nothing coming from the Courier can inj'tre anyone in reputation, "inind, person or estate," we give the above elegant extract the benefit of our circulation, n6t for the purpose of bandying epithets, but to remark that we don'i know what the very urbane gentleman who preside* with infinite grace and incomparable dignity over the editorial columns of the Courier, alludes to. He has not been mentioned in our columns for

TWENTIETH YEAR

SOMEBODY who hadn't much else to do has hunted up the valuable information that of the twenty-two United States Senators from the ex-rebel States, either admitted or claiming seats, nine arc of Northern biith, six from various Southern States, and seven are natives of the States which they represent. Nine of the thirteen South born Senators are Republicans one of the Democrats wa3 born in Boston. Of the forty-nine Southern Representatives (Texas not being represented) thirty are Republicans. Of the to'al, fifteen were born in Northern States one in Ireland, though from childhood a resident of Georgia thirteen are natives of various Southern State', and twenty eight are natives of the States from which they serve. Of the latter, five are Republicans.

THE Journal's siar contributor concludes his last effusion thus: We do, however, know that Joshua B. 0 ev has done many honest days work in the course of his life.

Ot course he has, and we trust he may live long to do many more, for there is nothing nobler on earth than honest work. But Mr. OTEY, in a speech delivered at the old Court House, while alluding to a prominent official who is a candidate for re election said, he "nev. did an honest day's labor in the world." And the hundreds of citizens who heard him will remember how his palpable hit brought down the house. It was a good speech, all the way th-ough, and some other portions of it will bear publication at the proper time.

THE decision of the Supreme Court of Indiana affirming the constitutionality of the law which provides that counties and townships may subscribe to the stock of railroad corporations, or make donations thereto, is received with much satisfaction by the friends ot the Cincinnati and Rock port Railroad enterprise. Its completion appears now to be pi iced beyond any contingency.—Cincinnati Chronicle.

The Supreme Court of Indiana has made no such decision. The decision is that tlie law allowing counties to subscribe for, and take slock in Railroads, when payment is made simultaneously with the purchase, is constitutional. -j.t

THIS very remarkable statement is clipped from an Indianapolis dispatch to the Cincinaali Commercial oi yesterday:

The attention ol the Coroner was to-day called to a suspicious case, which bids fair to develop another horror. Orders had been given at the old cemetery lor the digging of two graves for the interment of two children. To day, after the ceremonies attending the first burial had concluded, and the friends had gone, leaving the sexton to finish his work, it was disr covered that the wrong grave had been used. The sexton concluded to make the exchange without saying anything, and accordingly proceeded to do so. In transferring the coffin the lid was accidentally wrenched loose, exposing the face of the corpse, which bore marks oi violence there being along gash on the right side of the face, and contusions on other parts of the head. The Coroner was notified and a post mortem examination will be made to morrow. In the meantime the Coroner declines to make public any names. The child was known to be in good health a few days ago. The undertaker mentions as a suspicious circumstance, the fact that he was met at the door, when carrying the coffin to the house, paid and dismissed, not being allowed to place the body in the coffin, as is customary nor was he allowed to even see the body. It is also stated that not long since the parents of this child lost another, which was piepared for burial in the same mys'erious manner.

THE WEATHER.

WASHINGTON, April 14.—1:30 A. M.— [Synopsis for the past 24 hours.] The b:i rometer stands somewhat higher on the lakes than it did on Wednesday night, wi'h a general tendency to rise, accompanied with clear weather. Pressure continues to fall with cloudy weather in Southern States, and fresh southwest winds in the State of Louisiana. Partially cloudy and clearing weather prevailed in Eastern States, light rain reported in Central Misisssippi Valley.

Probabilities—It is probabla that cloudy and threatening weather will continue in the Mississippi Valley, partially cloudy and clear weather with light winds on the Lakes and Eastern Atlantic coast.

PRESIDENTIAL TOUR.

The President lias not abandoned his contemplated trip with bis family to the Pacific coast, and has made his arrangements for being ab.-ent six weeks. The date of departure is yet uncertain, owingto doubt as to the result of the sessions of the Joint High Commission, and the necessity of calling an extra session of the Senate.

UTAH COTKTS.

Judge Strickland from Utah is here for the purpose of obtaining from Congress an appropriation to pay expenses of the District Courts in Utah, lor trial of criminal cases. Recent decisions ot the Federal Courts in Utah have transferred the duties heretofore performed by the Territorial District attorneys and territorial Marshals to the District attorney and Marshal appointed by United States authority. These deci-ions were based upon legal definition of the organic act and previous decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States. Brigham Young, finding the occupation of his District attorney and his Marshal gone, refuses to pay the expenses of the Courts. The effect of this refusal is to stop the course of justice. Indictments have been found against many, some of them Mormons-, for criminal offences, and the parties cannot be prosecuted because there are no funds to pay the necessary expenses. It is (eared that if the Courts continue to be prevented from considering criminal cases, summary vengeance against murderers and other criminals by the action of vigilance committees will be the consequence. It is to prevent the reenactment of such illegal sanguinary scenes as those which have been witnessed in other

Territories, that an appropriation of $30,000 to be added to the deficiency bill, is now asked from Congress. It is suggested that if deemed necessary, Congress could subsequently reimburse the^ Treasury by levying a tax upon the Territory.

POSTPONED.

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, April 14.

Mr. Sawyer offered a resolution calling for the report as to the expediency of building a custom house and post office building at Oshkoah, Wisconsin. Adopted.

Mr. Holman renewed his proposition of yesterday to allow the use of the Hall of the House on May 24th next, to the Young Men's Christian Association.

Mr. McNeeley objected. Mr. Beatty, from the Committee on Printing, reported back the Senate amendment resolution to print 20,000 additional copies of the report of the Commissioner on Education, with a substitute reducing the number to 50,000 for distribution by the Commissioner. After considerable discussion ihe Senate concurrent resolutions were adopted, 97 to 62.

Mr. McKee called the attention of the House to a speech published in today's Globe, purporting to have been made in the House by Mr. Garrett, of Tennessee, on the 10th oi April, but not actually spoken, containing an article from the Vicksbtirg Herald, highly offensive to Senator Ames, characterizing him as a shoulder strap puppy and poltroon, a most consummate liar and fool. He de.sired to bring the matter before the

House, so that the House might visit on the author of that speech such condemnation as such a gross breach of privilege deserved.

Mr. Garrett, the member implicated, said he did not intend to commit any infraction of the rules. He had his speech written, and if he-had had an opportunity of delivering it he would have had no objection. The able article was read from the Clerk's desk, and if objection had been made to it, he would, of course have excluded it from his speech. He was willing now to have it excluded from the Congressional Globe.

Mr. Dawes expressed the opinion that the apology hardly went far enough. Mr. Garrett said he was willing to apologize to the House for publishing what was in violation of the rules, but further than that he could not go in the way of apology.

Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, asked leave to offer a resolution, that whenever leave .to print a speech is given, the meti'

Mr. Famsworth objectedMr. Builer remarked that ho thought that member would have objected.

Air. Farnsworth—Personal matters are not always unparliamentary. It is often necessary to be personal in order to speak the truth.

Mr. Butler—Then let it be said, and not printed behind a man's back, like the act of a coward in the last moment of the session. [The conclusion of the sentence was cut oil' by the Speaker's gavel.]

Mr. Cox remai ked that he knew there had been other people offending in the same way before. (Laughter.)

Mr. Garfield offered a resolution providing for exclusion of Mr. Garrett's speech from the Congressional Globe, and it was agreed to.

Subsequently Mr. Cox on ascertaining that the resolution excluded the whole speech, instead of obnoxious parts of it. moved to reconsider the vote, and ihe matter went over for the present.

Mr- Kinsella asked leave to offer a preamble and resolution in reference to Fenian prisonere, and requesting the President to have their case presented before the Joint High Commission.

Mr. Dickey objected. Mr. Kelley offered a resolution calling on the Secretary of State for information received at the State Department, concerning iron and other ship building in Sweden and Norway. Adopted.

The House then at 3 o'clock resumed consideration of the Senate amendment to the deticiency bill, Mr. Dawes appeal-

during

the bombardment

of that city. He made a 'feeling appeal to the House in support of the amend ment.

Mr. Piatt, who had been one of the Union officers cared for by the Sisters, made alike appeal, and the amendment was adopted unanimously.

The Senate amendment for re issue of national bank notes, was concurred in, with an amendment striking out the proviso which requires the two sides of the notes to be printed by different printing houses.

Mr. Holman offered and advocated an amendment, requiring the banks to pay the expenses of printing their own notes.

Mr. Farnsworth supported the proposition, and stated that the cost to the Treasury was SI,600,000, and there was no good reason why they should not pay that cost.

Mr. Garfield opposed the amendment, and stated that the amount ot taxes paid in 1869 by the banks of ihe United States, Staie and national, was $18,338,126, being at the rate of 4J per cent, on the entire capital-

Mr. Kerr stated that the same report from which Mr. Garfield quoted, showed that national banks after paying rich dividends for that same year, had laid by $130,000,000 undistributed profits and surplus funds.

The House then proceeded to vole on Mr. Holman's amendment, which is as follows:

Provided, that the expenses incurred, and which shall become necessary in the execution of theprov isions of this section, shall be paid by saidbanxing associations in proportion to their circulation, at such terms and in such manner a3 the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe in addition to the tax "now and heietofore imposed by law on such banking associations.

The amendment' was agreed to, yeas 103, nays 70 Without disposing of the bill the House at 5 o'clock adjourned until 11 o'clock to--morrow, the clerk announcing a Democratic caucus for this evening. r.snsK

SENATE.

Mr. Howe stated that in replying to the recent speech of the Senator from Massachusetts, (Mr. Sumner,) on San Domingo, he had not only combatted the Senator's nositionfcbut Itad indulged in some reflections which were wrung out of him by the conviction that h^ would not then resist, that that Senator had been speaking in the interests of the Democratic opposition. The very explicit declaration with which that Senator had closed his remarks yesterday on the pending bill had convinced him that the Senator's purpose

was not what he (Howe) had supposed it to be, and he sought the opportunity to make this declaration. No one would donbt that he made it with a great deal more satisfaction than he did the remarks which he had previously submitted. He thought he might be allowed to add in his own vindication, that no one would suspect him of having wilfully made that mistake, especially when it was considered that it was an inference drawn by a large portion of the Republican press, and he might say by the entire Democratic press.

Mr. Sumner replied that Senator Howe did him injustice the other day, and he should have known it. I, on that occasion, tried to save the Republican party from responsibility for an act of wrong. It was on that account, among others, that I spoke. I am a member of the Republican party, faithful to it always, and cannot allow it to be made responsible for violation of international law without interposing my humble effort to save it. In that spirit I spoke. The Senator arraigned me when I was trying to save the constitution, to save my country and to save the Republican party, as much as the Senator from Wisconsin.

Debate on the pending order, the Kti Kltix bill, was then proceeded with. Mr. Schurz opposed those provisions of the bill which enlarged the national jurisdiction at the expense of the local self government, in violation of the spirit of the Constitution, and creating a constructive rebellion in order to invest the President with discretionary power to suspend the writ oi habeas corpus. The laws were liable to dangeroo* abuse by partisan governments. He could not vote for the bill unless those provisions were stricken out, but would support a constitutional measure for repression of outrages. The Democratic party could not give peace to Southern society, because it was overawed by a lawless element, and controlled by a reactionary tendency. The Republican party in many Southern States |was, in its present condition, equally unable to secure peace and order, because, unless it got rid of dishonest leadership it could not produce good government. But the Democratic party had a strong law and order loving element in it, and the Republican party contained a numerous class of honest and independent men, in favor of good government, These elements united would be strong enough to put down discord, without interference of national authority. These elements, now separated by party lines, could be facilitated by removal of political disabilities, now opposed from a sentimental point of view. Defining his position as a liberal Republican, he said, he desired peace and good will, the removal of political disabilities, and restoration of sell government to the utmost extent compatible with the Constitution, the getting out of the way of all war issues, to make room for new questions. But the very first article of his creed was firm maintenance of that settlement comprised in the constitutional amendments guaranteeing equal rights to all men. He appealed to Republicans with faithfully enforcing constitutional laws, to set moral agencies to work which would be of more permanent effect than general statutes, and to abstain from legislation, which, by creating arbitrary power, might afford aid to some, but would be calculated to endanger the rights atad liberties of all.

Mr. Casserly deprecated this proceeding, as an unscrupulous attempt of the Republican party to maintain their domination in the South. The people there had accepted the situation, and the American people were disposed to treat them kindly, but Republican leaders in Congress were not true representatives of American sentiment. Six years had elapsed since the war closed, yet some Senators still cried ['havoc." What Senator from the majority had uttered one word of kindness or magnanimity for the South? On the contrary, they had only nttered contumely and execrations. He would extinguish feuds of race, and restore peace in the South. The Irish hatred of the English was owing less to bad laws, than to cruel and bitter denunciation of Irish people by British statesmen. The Southern people felt the sting of these invectives, and Senators now come here confessing that their harsh policy had failed. No government, in dealing with a suppressed rebellion, had erred by too much clemency-

Mr. Dawes offered an amendment appropriating $20,000 for rebuilding the Catholic Orphan Asylum at Charleston, S. C., in consideration of the services rendered by the Sisters of Mercy to sick and wounded officers and soldiers of the United States army,

Mr. Edmunds closed the debate in a lengthy reply to constitutional and other objections to the bill, which he reviewed in detail, quoting from publications put forth at the time of the formation of_ the constitution, and from various authorities upon the nature of government.

At 4 o'clock the Senate proceeded to vote upon the amendments to the bill reported from the Judiciary Committee. The question was first taken upon the amendment to add to the provision making it a high crime to injure the jjerson or property of any United States officer in performance of his duty the words—"or while engaged therein." The amendment was agreed to, ayes 40 noes 23.

The Republicans voting in the negative were, Caldwell, Clayton, Logan, Schurz, Tipton, Trumbull, Wilson, Windam and Wright.
