It is surprising how soon the sunshine sometimes comes out after a violent storm. nd when thit occurs how readily and

The Fourth Indiana District.

The Fourth Indiana Congressional Convention met at Connersville, yesterday, and nominated Judge Wilson for Congress by acclamation. The delegates were chosen under the popular vote system, and were almost equally divided between Julian and Wilson, the latter having a small majority. This result having been made

known to Mr. Julian, he sent a letter to the convention, withdrawing in favor of

Judge Wilson. The utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed, and thus the election of the nominee is assured by a decided msjority. The contest for the nomination was somewhat bitter, but Mr. Julian's

course, which iscreditable to bim, insures !

harmony where dissensions were appre

hended. The fact that gJulian's friends elected nearly half the delegates shows

that a close adherence to principles and

personal integrity are qualities appreciated by the people. Those who opposed Mr.

Julian s renomination gave him lull credit for the faithful manner in which he discharged hi3 duties; but there were, unfor

tunately, dissensions in the party that

rendered important the nomination ot a new man. These having already been pointed out in the Gazette, need not be again referred to. e . ... ...

FUNERAL OF GENERAL THOMAS.

The Mourning Nation at the Tomb. Trot, N. Y., April 8. The obsequies of General Thomas took place today. The weather was fine, but the city wore a somber aspect. The public and private buildings were draped in mourning, and the streets filled with people all the morning. Martial men march to and fro to the beating of muffled drums, taking their places in the line of funeral cortege. The President, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of War, the Attorney General, Postmaster General Sherman, the

Congressional delegation, representatives

of the army, Governor and Legislature of

the Slate, citueos ana aignuariea, an ranks in life, were present to testify the

nation's sense of its irreparable loss. bt. Paul's Church, where the exercises took place, was draped with American flags bordered with crape, and emblems of grief met the eye in every part of the edifice. Bishop Doane read the service, and Professor Gay presided at the organ. The musical portion of the services consisted

have been selected to reunite and consoli

date the Republican voters. He is personally very popular; ho is able; he is honest, and he is out and out Republican in principle. It has been urged that to nominate Judge Wilson would lower the Republican standard. This is a mistake. The abolition of slavery and the enfranchisement of the colored people have taken out of the Republican party all that constituted the dividing line between Conservatives and Radicals. This great work was accomplished by the Republican party as a whole. Those who led deserve most credit, but those who followed are also worthy of praise. Mr. Lincoln, who issued the Emancipation Proclamation, was not in the front rank of the party leaders; but when the time for action came he did not hesitate to strike the chains from four millions of slaves. Gen. Grant was also classed as a conservative, but when the time came to place the ballot in the hands of the colored man, he did it

promptly and in a manner to show that he approved of the act and took pleasure in officially proclaiming it. To the front rank of radicalism the whole party advanced,

and so far as regards slavery and equal

rights, there are no dividing lines in the

Republican organization. In these front

ranks Judge Wilson stands erect and

proudly bears aloft the banner of freedom and equal rights. And now it remains for the Republi

A colored man in Kvansville, on Thursday, aaid, in the hearing of a reporter of the Journal: "I don't care particularly about voting at this election, except for one thing. I want to neutralize the vote of a big Democrat who pelted me with peaches last sutumer. When I remonstrated, the big Democrat asked me, 'What was I going to do about it?' I am going to do something about it on Mon-

day." The New Albany Commercial, speaking of the fire at Jeffersonville, says: "Just at the time the fire broke out prayer meet

ing was being conducted in the chapel, and ninety-two convicts, who have cells

in that portion of the prison, were engaged

in religious worah'iD in the meeting. Had

0 A they been in tueir cells at the tine of the fire, a fearful loss of life would hare resulted.

The second reunion of the Army of the

Potomac, at Philadelphia, on Saturday, was a brilliaht affiir. When the President and General Sheridan entered tho Academy of Music, the enthusiasm was immense, and was manifested by the concourse of people rising to their feet, cheering, waving of flags, hats, hankcrchiefs, &o. General Martindalc, orator of the day, delivered a masterly oration. Geo. 11. Boker read an original poem composed for the occasion. Among the Generals present were Sheridan, Sherman, Burnside, Banks, Meade, Porter, Dent, Belknap, Casey, Ueinttelman, Patterson, Buff, Shafer, Ilaupt, Bingham, Owen, Prevost, McCandless, Morton, King, Wagner, Van Vleit, McDowell, Humphreys, Wright, Vinton, and a great number of others not recognized amid the crowd. Judge Wilson carried the District any way it may be counted, lie has a majority of the Townships, a majority of the Counties, and a majority of the whole vote of the District. Connersville Times. With few exceptions the Julian men concede Wilson's nomination, and accept it with good grace. Connersville Times.

Bounty. The only soldiers entitled to bounty under the recent decision of the Supreme Court are those who enlisted under the

second call of tho President, in his proclamation dated May 3, 1861, for 42,034 volunteers fa three years. The plan of organization was announced in General Ordeis No. 15 and No. 25, May, 1861, War Department. In thia a bounty of $100 was promised, as follows: "When honorably discharged, travel pay from place of discharge to his home, and in addition thereto the sum of one hundred dollars." Enlistments were made under the above proclamation and orders until July 22, 1861, when Congress passed an act under which subsequent enlistments were based. The Auditing Department refused to recognize the right of soldiers to claim said bounty, hence an appeal to the Court of Claims and the Supreme Court. The Second Comptroller and Second Auditor have decided that the applicant claiming bounty under this decision must show 1. Enlistment for three years. 2. That the enlistment must have been since the 4th day of May, 1861, and prior to the 22d day of July, 1861. 3. Honorable discharge any time after enlistment. 4. But discharge for promotion does not entitle the soldier promoted to this bounty. 5. Nor will soldiers, we think, entitled to this bounty, be entitled to additional bounty under the act of 1866. The bounty there promised is upon certain conditions named in the act, and the decision here does not change those conditions. This decision covers the condition mentioned in the act of 1866 as to the amount of bounty, bat it does not relieve
