1 Finance. J The agitations con netted with the question of the resumption of specie payments, 1 tie probable decision of the Supreme Court as o tins Legal Tender Act, and the windins; np the year's business, have had a teo-

tict.cy to check all speculative operations, and produce constant and rather growing stringency in the market. In reference to resumption and the efforts to manufacture opinions for, or quote the laoguajre'tf Mr. liautwell as to the subject during the past two months, we oownavelns antnority for the statement; f.thit be lias taVert no steps toward or harbored, the idea of a resumption; .con sidering it useless to be troubled about Hoi nutter nntil such a course becomes possible," Whether Congress will enter tlin the same view is' doubtful, as" there . ... . . are quite a number of members who have their guns boted for the discussion, with an indefinite number of plans, "that have secured the endorsement of our most distinguished .financiers," etc. The country for six cr eight years has been afflicted wiih tha opinions of ."these distinguished financier,1, aad ur belief ". is that they know as little about financial, matters aa most other members-of the community. It is time this looking to the judgment of a few men, with whom it ; wae supposed when they left the - world wisdom would die, should cease and mere common Wnse, and less theory, be used in the discussion of this subject. We believe there are men in the West whose judgment in matters of finance is as good as that of any party in New York or Washington, and if aur Sec retary and Legislators will take less coun sel from Wall Street and rings generally, and more from the sound common sense of honest business men at large in the country, tLey will arrive quickly and easi ly at a solution of the problems befere them. As to the forestalled decision of the Supreme-Court oa the Legal Tender Act, we believe tie whole thing is a stock jobbing ruse. We do not think the court has ever come to such a decision; or, hav irg done so, it could be known until of ficially promulgated; or if the idea. , has been debated in that body, they would ever dare to" render Biich a vetdict. The circumstances under which that act was framed, when rebellion was throttling the lite of tbc nation, no matter what the mere legality of the question might have been, left no alternative, if we would live and not die, but the caurse pursued. The common sense and equity of tbc country sustain the action, and we not believe the Supreme Court dare reverse the country's decision. As we go to press gold stands at 122 and 122 with prospect of declining. The gold speculators have not rallied from their Waterloo and the exchanges at the Gold Exchange Bank have ruu down to 5,000,1)00, and less daily. Business, speculation, and the gold gamblers, seem to be awaitiug 'the action cf Congress, to which all eyes are turned. Let us pray that body may have wisdom and patriotism to meet the questions before them, and forgetting individual interests and party spirit, nobly act for the country's aud welfare. rights The Papal -Infallibility.

Congressional. In the Senate, on Thursday, there was come discussion On the printing juestioh A bill was introduced to fix the eatarttof

the Chief Justice at $12,060, and that of the Associate Justice at $10,000. A resolution repealing the charter of the Medical Society of the District of Columbia, and of taking such other legislation as may be necessary to secure for the medical practioners in the District equal rights and opportunities, withaut distinction of color, gave rise to considerable discussion. Mr. Trumbull reported the bill which enacts that under the Constitution the Judicial power of the United States docs not embrace political power, or give to the judicial tribunalsany authority to question the decision of the political departments of the Government on political questions, and it is hereby declared that all Courts of the United StateB in the administra tion of justice shall be bound by the de cision of the political departments of the Government on political questions. The bill then declares that United States Courts shall not recognize Texas, Mississippi or Virginia, till Congress does, and shall not interfere with the Military Courts. A bill was introduced to repeal the fines and forfeitures incurred under laws relating t customs. A bill providing tuat Ibe Pres idential electors shall -be elected in each State on the second Tuesday of October, in the year in which they ate to be chosen, and that Representatives in Congress shall be elected in each State oa the second Tuesday of October next preceding the beginning of the term of the Congress to which they are elected. In the House, bills were introduced to perfect reconstruction in Georgia; to repeal the tariff on tea, eoffee, molasses, rice, salt, lumber, bides, stains for printing paper, and iron in pig; to aufhorixe the further issue of S44,00l,000 legal teuders; resolutions were introduced to send pensions by post, Mr. Van Tiump presented the joint resolutions of the Ohio Legislature rejecting the 15th Amendment. The House finally went in Committee of the Whole on the Census bill, aad after fruitless discussion as to by what officers the census should be takeo, adjourned. , There was a perfect flood of bills in the House on Friday. Auong these wert the following: One donating the' Arstaal land in St. Louis to that city, far a public park; also, one repealing a portion of the Internal lievenue law, requiring farmers and gardeners to take produce brokers' license ta sell their produce; also, one for the sale of coin in the Treasury, except such as is necessary for the payment of interest on bonds; also, one extending the time for the completion af the military road from Fort Wilkinson, Michigan, to Fort Howard, Wisconsin. An invcsligation of a resolution looking to the French cable troubles was introduced, lngersoll tried to introduce his bill for an issue of 44,000,000 more of legal tenders; but as the reference was again disputed, it was withdrawn. The House went intoa Committee of the Whole on the Census bill, and then adjourned. In the House, on Saturday, Mr. Ingersoll brought in bis bill againand the reference of it gave rise to the same old discussion. The trouble between the Banking and Ways and Means Committees was settled by the reference bf the bill to the former. The bill provides for a further issue of $44,000,000 of t legal tenders, $10,000,000 to be issued in thirty days after the passage of the bill, $10,600,000 in sixty days,SlO,000,603 in ninety days and the balance in one hundred and twenty days. ?A number of papers oa the Virginia reconstruction question were reported and ordered printed. A' resolution was adopted calling for a detailed account of the expenditures of the present Congress." A numberof resolutions and bills were introduced of tittle importance. The House then went into the Committee on Census bill and then adjourned. tn the House, on Monday, raesage was received from the President transmitting the report ef the Secretary ,f State, of the Slates that have ratified; the Fifteenth Amendment. ,The report enumerates the following States ag those from which official notice of, such ratification had been received up to December; Missouri, defective; Kansas, defective; North Carolina, Weit Virginia, . Massachusetts, Yiseon-in, Maine, Louisiana, Michigan, South Carolina, Fannsylvania; "Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, lHinciin, .Indiana, New York, New 11 amp hi re, Nevada, Ver. mont and Virginia. The Secretary states that in the ratification by4 Missouri the 2d section of the amendment is omitted, aud in (be ratification by Kansasj the phrase ology. of the second section is changed. The message and report i was referred to the JudieiaryCommittee. i The Washington Star says "of the' bill introduced by Senator Morton, with relation to the State of Georgia:, . , The bill meets with tbe . approval of nearly all the Georgia Hepublioaos ia this nSm M m tmtlt ma -i t It a KiMiiKarn fVAtituiia na It has been deemed best, however, to add several important sections ta the -measure ta render it more effective.. ; A number of Georgia politicians held a meeting last night for tbe purpose of clioiting an opinion regarding. Mr; Morton's bill. . Mr. Morton was present by invitation, and explained fully . bis ideas in regard to the working of his inlL.-should it become a law. i v . . .i j . . After an interchange of opinions, it was agreed to amend the bill. by providing that after the Legislature ratifies the Fifteenth Amendment the Governor is authorised to organize the militia of the State, -and that daring such organization the 'President be required to furnish enough United

States troopa to preserve the peace of the. State. The bill also invalidates all the acts of the old Legislature of a politieal , character.

As this bill is satisfactory to Southern Republicans, and likewise meets with the President's approval, aa effort will be made to press the bill through both branches of Congress at an early day. New Postage Stamps. The Postoffice Department has completed its selection of designs for a new series ef postage stamps to take the place of those now in use, which were adopted by the late Postmaster General Randall about one year ago. The new design will be about one third larger than the present stamp, or the site of the old stamps, and consist entirely of profile basts, taken from standard original marbles executed by artists of acknowledged reputation. Some of the stamps have already been engraved, proofs of which have been approved by the Postoffice Department, as well as by the President and Cabinet, as the most appropriate and elegant in all respects of any issued by any nation. They will comprise the heads of the following distingui'g Americans: One cent, Franklin, 7 Benton, of Franklin Insti tute, of Philadelphia; two cents, Jack son. by Powers; three cents, Wasbiugtoo, by Uowdan; six cents, Lincoln, by Tolk; ten cents, Jefferson, . by Powers; twelve cents, Clay, by Hart; fifteen eenta, Web ster, by Cleneeged; twenty-four cents, Scott, by CoflSe; thirty eents, Hamilton, from a family bast; forty cents, Commo dore O. IL Perry, by Walcutt. Judge Drummond. The telegraph announces the appoiat ment of Thomas Drummond, Judge of the District Court of the United States for the Northern District of Illinois, as Circuit Judge for the Seventh Circuit, composed of the States of Indiana, Illineis and Wisconsin. Pere Hyacinth s Lecture. Pere Hyaciuthe concluded his address !in New York, on Thursday night aa fal lows: "In modern society celibacy exists for the sake of God, but these exceptions, if you make it a rule, are against God aad agaicst nature. Calibaey is cowardice if it does not glorify marriage. The Apos- ! ties have said marriage is honorable. Mar xiase is saotUs belore- Viod and men. The great object in view U the reeoacili a'ion of heaven and earth, and of the pres eat life with the future, and to secure union, of earth, union iu the city, iu the nation and ia humanity, was the thought of Jesus Christ. Th foundation of your people is the Bible, the book that speaks t tiod, tue living word ot Jesus Clmst. In au admirable mauiteste trona your President there shiues through his words the Christiau faith. A belief in Jesus is at the root of this nation. May Jesui Christ protect your country, aad develop it. Old Europe is preparing, amid strife, for unity and religious aud material prosperity, and when 1 return I shall tell Europe that 1 have found liberty associated with Christianity, and have been asuoug a people who do not thiuk that to be free they must be parted from God." - The London Times wants George William Curtis and William M. Evarts to be appointed by the American Government, to state the facts and the law in the Ala. bama case. . The indications are that Congress will pass a free banking act during the sessian, and will not aeccde to Boutwell's suggestion of a contraction ef $2,000,000 a month. The .House Committee on the Territories will report against forming a territorial government in Alaska, and in favor of leaving it a while longer under a military government.. The .'. llichmood Palladium states that Hon. George W. Julian's health has so far improved that he expected to start for Washington, sometime last week. He will remain there a short time and then go to Philadelphia for medical treatment. "' ' ii The Fifteenth Amendment is said to have gained a new element of strength in that portion of the Democratic party which favors the nomination of Chase for the Presidency in 1872. It is thought the adoption of the amendment will give great strength to Chase, who is thought to be able to to control the bulk ef the negro vote. . - -The Grand Jury will consider the case of McFarlaod, the murderer of Richardson, this week. The trial will not take place before January, aa tbe prosecuting officers think it would be impossible to obtain an unprejudiced jury, in consequence ef the violent manner in which the papers have engaged in the discussion. District Attorney Garvin will personally supervise the prosecution, and the. trial will excite much interest.. Tbe excitement about the matter has partly, subsided, but the affair is atill greatly talked about. On Thursday evening, about six o'clock, i two men entered the ollice of the . Treasur er of Tama county, at Tama City, Illineis, and asked for some stamps. Mr. Camery, the Deputy Treasurer, turned areund to 8et tbem' wben tLe7 cu8h t,m h tLe throat, knocked him op tbe bead, and stabbed him three times. They then seised eight thoasand dollars that lay in the safe, and escaped. It isfeared that Camery is fatally wounded. Should the rob. bers be caught they will be lynched beyond a denbt. ' The Ecumenical Council was opened in Rome on Wednesday by the Pope, amid the ringing of bells and firing of cannon. There were J00 bishops in attendance. It was the grandest affair in Rome in this century.

The election in Texas appears to have j gone Republican. General Davis has a majority of 5,489 in forty-six counties, and Flanagan for Lieutenant Governor has 8,360. There are, however, one hundred and thirty-one counties, which leaves a ground for doubt; nevertheless, aa those not beard from belong to upper Texas,

where there was the principal Union sentiment in former times, there exists little doubt of the result. General W. S. Clark, Republican candidate for Congress in the Third district, is on his way to Washington, and declares that the Republican State ticket, all the Republican candidates for Congress and a majority in each House of the Legislature are elected. Representative Coburn's resolution, which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, requires the Secretary ot tbe treasury to sail all tbe coin not necessary te be retained for payment of the interest on bonds and far other de mands in coin, and to continue the sales monthly, reserving only such araouuts as may be needed for the above-named pur poses, The Jackson (Mississippi) Pilot, of the 4th icst., states General Alcorn's majority at 35,000. Both branches of the Legis lature are largely Republican. The Jack son Clarion thinks that the disfranchising clauses of tbe Constitution are rejected In the Supreme Courton Monday, Chief Justice Chase delivered a decision that the act ef Congress taxing the circulation of the State Banks was constitutional. The fact that though the tax may be pro hibitory in its character does not invali date the constitutionality of the law. An extensive swindle has been discov ered in New York. One Gray has been altering New York bounty bonds and U S. Treasury bonds aad getting advances on them. Tbe exact amount is not known, though it will be very large. Six members of the Society of Friends in Parke County, arriving at Rockville a few minutes toe late to take tbe train on Tuesday morning, walked the whole distance, trenty.five miles, to attend the State Christian Convention atTerre Haute. A special dispatch to the Gaiotte from Georgia says the Democrats are much worked up over the question ef reconstruction. The rebel papers denounce Gen. Terry as "an in famous liar,' and say the State may be made too hot to hold hi ia. The message cf Governor Haight to the Legislature cf California shows a letting down in respect te Chinese emigrants. The i.-sue on which tbe Democratic party went bef&re lle people of California was that cf preventing the influx ef Chiuamea. But the Governor now declares iu favor f the removal of all barriers as a question of sound policy. Pere Hyacinthe lectured, for the benefit of the French Benevolent Society, to an immense crowd in New York, Thursday night, on the "Government of Lile." Among other things, be said: "Let us leve the Church of Christ, but not as the church of any sect.;" also, " let ns respect the letter, but not as an extinguisher. The let. ter kills, the spirit gives life." He favored an unsectarian church. Small Fruit Recorder and Cot tage uabdener. We are in receipt of this valuable little monthly paper, edited by A. M.

Ftooi the Richmond Baaitning Bird. Candidate for Congress. It is not likely that Hon. George W.

Julian will be a Candidate for re-election to Congress from this District. I! is health, which has been for some time failing, is, as we learn from his friends, still feeble, and it is reported that his physicians have enjoined upon him an immediate and ab solute withdrawal Ironi active participation in business affairs, public and private, aad that his overworked and overstrained brain requires prompt relaxtion and rest. His recent visits to the Pacific Coast and Min nesota have been in pursuance of this advice, and the law of self-preservation will doubtless forbid bis participation in tbe coming canvass. This view of the ease seems to be eonceded by tbe Republican Press in this District, which has heretofore been looRed upon as his organs, extracts from some of which were alluded to in our last issue. In addition to the Conncrsville and Rushville papers to which we then referred, we find the "Brookville American," which may perhaps be considered as the leading Julian organ of this district, outside of this city, holding the following lauguage: Here follows the article in the "American."! It will be seen by the foregoing article,! that the "American puts the necessity ot Mr. Julian's withdrawal from the canvass uyon other and different grounds than his physical disability; ' However this may be, we incline to the opinion that do motives of delicacy alone would induce him to abandon tbe canvass. He is too "tough and elastic in fibre," to ignominiously leave the field of his former triumph, and we ascribe his mo'ivcs to the failure of his health alone. Whether this be the true cause or not, it is strongly apparent that he docs not intend to be a candidate, and we heartily endorse the rectnamendation of the "American" as to the peculiar fitness and availability of Jude Jerry Wilson, assured that while be combines all the qualifications for success, he at the same time embodies to a remarkable degree the elements of a good Representative. It is perhaps worthy of note in this connection, that when tbe Hon. O. P. Morton was prostrated with tho same terrible disease, incipii'ut srftening of the b.vaiat with which Mr. Julian is now suffering, tbe latter ia no friendly spirit ascribed it to causes quite different from that which himself and his friend taust cUim to have superinduced it in bis own cuse. Will our M. C. have to resort to the Muxaf The Congressional Race. Several of the Republican papers are announcing their preferences for the Congressional race, in place ef Julian the prasent incumbent, two artieles on the subject .appearing u the outcide of this paper. It will ba seen that Hon. Jerry M. Wilson is the preference of both the Shelby and Franklin County papers, which of itself gives him a good start for the nomination. Other papers throughoat tbe District have, however, expressed thetaselvrs as favorable to Judge Wilson, who, it iswell known, bs caatie one of tbe most popular Jurists we have ever had on the beuch iu Eusteru Indiana. Several others have been mentioned ia connection wiih uliis race, but it is generally conceded tteut'Juliati will net again be a candidate, owing to the bad state of hi health, and the peril iu which he would place tbe party, f'oi it is an almost universal conception that he cuano-t carry the District if nominated. Personally cr politically we have not, at present, a preference. The strongest cian must be, brought forward, one that will combine all the strength of the Republican party, aud then we can be certain of electing our wan. No one of either doubtful capacity er strength should be thought of, or brought forward. We consider the tiiue before a nomination is made, Ions; enough to make proper aad wise selections, and feel coufident that the Republican warty will use all di?cretion in their choice. Cambridge City Tribune. Candidates for Congress. Several of the papers of this (4tb) Congressional District have expressed their preference for lion. Jerry Wilson, aa their next candidate for representative honors. From the various reports reaching us, as to the condition of lion. G. W. Julian's health, his shattered nervous condition, which is tbe result of his arduous political duties and great anxiety for tbe public wolfare, that has caused him to forego sleep to such an extent that his life is despaired of, it is supposed by his most intimate friends that he will not be able to attend the meeting ef Congress at its assembling the first of the coming session, and that bis physical condition is such that it will preclude bis being a candidate for the place be now occupies. Richmond Palladium. m m i mi Treasurer of State. We notice that some of our exchanges have brought forward Augustus D. Lynch, Esq , of Sbeby ville, as a candidate before the approaching Republican State Convention for the nomination for Treasurer of State. Mr. Lynch is well known throughout south-eastern Indiana as a gentleman of fine abilities, thorough culture and inflexible integrity. In whatever position he has been placed he has honored the position by faithful discharge of duty and sedulous devotion to its interests. He has given no halting support to the Republican cause, but has given time and money and his best energies to secure its suocess. He is no professional politician, and has never aspired to, or held, a political position. Hi ptivate character, as the high esteem of those who know him best will attest, and bis political integrity is unquestioned, while his business qualifications are of the best. - While the names of many excellent gentlemen will be presented to the Convention, we feel that should Mr. Lynch receive the nomination wa will have a candidate who will combine the three great requisites honesty, integrity and capacity and one who will spare no effort to deserve success. Decatur Cuunty Press. The prospects now are that the Secre tary of the Treasury will soon be able to make a loan at per cent., and if not. certainly at 5 per cent. The Government loans are now higher In London than they have been at any time.
