Hi Congress. -Congress weand up its business on Friday, ahd; aljoumed sine die. The Senate spent five hours in Executive session, discussing the nomination of Mr. Frelinghuysen as Minister to London, vice Motley, recalled. Mr. Sumner made a two hours' speech in favor of the retention of Mr. Motley, and then the Senate voted to send Mr. Frelinghuysen, by 40 to 3. Those voting nay were Harris, Sprague and Robertson, Mr. Sumner not voting. The Indian bill was again ent to the Conference Committee, and an agreement was affected. It adopts the substitute of the Senate for the House bill, making appropriations fixed by the Senate, with a proviso that nothing contained in the bill shall be construed either to affirm or deny the validity of the treaties made by the Indian Peace Commissioners. A message was received from the President refering to the prospects of a European war, and the necessity cf increasing our commercial marine by the purchase of i-hips abroad. Discussion began on this bill, but before a vote could be reached the hour for adjournment arrived, and the Senate adjourned. The House passed the Indian Appropriation bill, listened to the reading of the Piesident's message, and took no action in re-ard to it. Tie contested election case of Julian vs. Ilied was decided in faIvor of Mr. Julian. At 5o 'clockthc House adjourned tint' die. Decline in U. S. Bonds. A further decline in United States bonds in London on Tuesday (says the Gazette,) was followed by an advance in the gold premium in New York, but this did not prevent a fall in prices of bonds in the lat ter city. uur oonas, nowever, weru . . i . . not plone in the decline in London. 'Consols fell to and Illinois CenJ ral ptnk to 103. The decline wiihin jten days is per cent on consols, 1IJ on j Illinois Central, and on 5 20 bonds. j The comparatively small decline in consols j probably arises from the fact that they are ! held more for a permanent investment than American securities. There must be a pretty severe panic when such securities as these are thrown overboard so Ireely. By this we may measure the excitement which exists in London over the war oo the continent, and the importance with which it is regarded. The excitement in New York can not bev much short of that in London. The impetus given to speculation in gold has made such a demand on the banks for money that rates for call loans have advanced from 3 to 7 per cent, per annum, lender this tightening up of the money market stocks have fallen "Q5 per cent, In our local money market matters have not been matertally affected as yet by the t?ar news.

Morton at Terra Haute.

The first important meeting of the campaign in loaiana was neiu jiionaaj nim at Terre Haute. Governor Morton made an extemporaneous address. His speech was mainly a review of the doings of the Republican party under Grant's administration as compared with the administration of President Johnson, showing the increas ed efficacy of the revenue service, the great, er amount collected under the same laws, and the efforts of Congress and the ad- I ministration to lighten the burdens of taxation by a large reduction of the tariff and internal revenue. He also alluded to the management of State affoirs, showing how successfully the Republican party had conducted the finances and liquidated the debt. There was a very large audience present, including Governor Baker, the officers of State and many distinguished citizens from various localities. The Tax and Tariff Bill. The Tax and Tariff bill, as passed by Congress, is expected to reduce the burden of taxation about SO million dollars. It abolishes all taxes on gross receipts, legacies, successions, witches, carriages, gold and 6Uver plate, billiard tables, passports, salaries, banks and bankers, the whole system of special or license taxes, except those on brewers and distiller;, and all taxes on sales except thoso now paid by stamps and those on Bales of leaf aud manufactured tobacco, snuff, cigars, wines and liquors. It also abolishes the stamp tax on all receipts, transfers of mortgages, notes for less than one hundred dollars, and ci u ned and preserved fijjh. The taxes that remain are those excepted as herein noted as well as present taxes on spirits, tobacco, gas, fermcuted liquors, bank deposits, cap- j ital aud circulation, income tax and stamp j taxes, except as abolished. Special taxes do not cease till next May; taxes on sales not till next October, and others that are abolished expire ou the first of August. The income tax is to be collected but two years more, and at the rate of per cent., with two thousand dollars exemption. The tax on salaries of Government officials ceases on the first of August, and the dif ference to that date between five and two and one half per cent, is to be deducted next spring. In social or religious communities five persons are to be counted as a family. The publication of income returns is positively prohibited. Two and a half per cent, tax is laid on the dividends of incorporated banks, trust companies, savings institutions, and all insurance, railroad, steamboat, canal, turnpike, slack water, gas, coal, mining; bridge and manufacturing companies, whether payable to citizens or non-residents. Interest al- i

lowed depositors in savings banks is not to J idea of enlarging the free list, and of rebe called dividen ds. The consolidation of! duciu-r the rates ou necessities and comforts,

collection and supervisorship districts, and the discharge of ueedless officers, is allowed the President. The New Pension Bill Passed by Congress near the close of the session makes several changes which are important to pensioners. Hereafter payments arc to be made quarterly, the agent forwarding bank vouchers tocach person on the rolls by mail, and on the receipt of these vouchers in proper form, returning a check by mail to order of the claimant. Pension Agents are allowed thiity cents for makiog out each voucher, , which the Government is to pay, and no fees whatever of any pensioner for his ser - vices. No attorney or agent is allowed to collect a fee of over thirty-five dollars for prosecuting any claim for pensioner or bounty laud. Synopsis of the Funding Bill. The following is a syuopsis of the Fundbill, as finally passed by both Houses of Congress: Section first provides for the issue of 200 millions five per cent, bonds, 300 millions 4 percent, bouds, and 1,000, 000,000 four per cent, bonds, running respectively ton, fifteen and thirty years. Section second authorizes tbe Secretary of the Treasury to sll such bonis at par for coin, and to apply the proceeds to the re dempiion of tbe outstanding 5 20i at their par value, or be mayexch.iuge new for old bonds at par fjr coin, but new bonds shall be issued fvr no other purpose. A sum uot exceeding one half per cent, is allowed for commissions in negotiating ne bouds. Section four provides for the redemption of 5 20s now or hereafter falling due at par beginning with those first numbered and issued, interest to cease three months af ter the proper notice has been given. Section Uve authorizes 2 per cent, interest on gold deposits 25 per cent, of such deposits must be retained iu the United States Treasury, the balance to be used in the redemption of 5-20s, under the provisions of section four. Section six provides for the canceling of all bonds now held or heieafter purchased ou account of the sinking fund. Awards for Reapers and Mowsrs. There is a mistake widely prevalent in regard to the recent great trial of reapers aud mowers at Minsfijli, Ohio, namely : That the awards would be made shortly after the trial was over. Mr. Klippart, Secretary of the State Board, states that no award will be made until the holding of the State Fair, in Springfield, in Septeiuber, aad that this is in accordance with a "rrgolar rub of the board. .i Tha '.rejection of taxes under the Tax. biHJvfi psi9;d will amount to about seveiiy::Ta b.!4ions of dollars, takiug last elrVrt&eWls a basis. Of this amount, tha i : !rol ti ies will be reduced about fifti "-'"tiillt nd the customs receipts it . . . " . ,1 . ?Haboftt .ttrtci" ten millions.

The Effect of a European War. tn 1866 when Russia and Austria were at war, gold rose rapidly from 130 to 160 within one month; and, had the contest continued, prices would have reached a much higher figure. The causes, however, which were at work then have now ceased to exist, and although we may feel the effects of a protracted European war, we are better prepared for it than at any period since 1861. Our financial credit

abroad had been steadily increasing with our growth as a nation. Foreigners are rapidly learning more about us, and have shown their confidence in our prosperity by sending their funds by millions of dol lars for investment in schemes which will develop our hidden resouiees. Idle foreign capital, which his been profitably employed here, will not now be hastily withdrawn. It is not proabable that a war between Prussia, Spain and -France will strengthen the credit of either of these nations to such an extent as to cause the holders of United States bonds to throw them upon the market. The majority of our securities are in the hands of investors who depend upon the high rates of interest, andthe prompt payment of the same, for their support. Should our country continue to maintain its present credit, such investors would not willingly exchange a certainty for the securities of nations about to engaged in costly war, which may increse twofold their heavy debt. The prospects of good cereal and cotton crops also are encourageing, and tiiedemaud which must come froai abroad will go far to meet the payment for whatever bonds may be returned, as was the case in 13d j, when we shipped our cereals in the place of gold, at that time a scarce article. The first effect of a European war may be a sudden advance in gold and decline in United States bonds, but the result, in the end, will be in favor of the United States, inasmuch as foreign capital would seek investment here as the safest place, our cereals would be in greater demand than ever, which would benefit our farmers and our railroads, and thus stimulate trade in the interior, while on the seaboard our commerce- would receive an impetus which would soon restore it to its former prosperous condition. "Tha Amsnded Tariff. The new Tariff bill, as it finally passed both Houses, is in principle and substance so far as it goes, the same as that reported by Gen. Schenck from the Committee of Ways and Means. Of course, there arc modifications in some details, and numer ous items are passed over. But the main like tea, colfee, sugar and molasses, is car ried out in the new but. 1 tie strenuous efforts of the Free Traders to keep up the high duties on the articles just naued, because they do not compete with any home product, were in strict accordance with their theory of a "revenue tariff'but these views will meet with as little favor among tbe people as they did in Congress. We believe the tariff reductions will be popular, and that the bill should everywhere be sustained in the present canvass as a Republican measure. The bill is a long one, and we have not yet the text in full. It will go into effect .. i .. c r io-i w v" l"c 1,1 """""J.

We don't have any idea the Democrat will publicly admit that the debt has been decreased, even though the Secretary of the Treasury publishes a bworn statement every month to that effdet. Nor will the Democrat acknowledge any good in the present administration. Facts are stubborn things, and Democratic papers are loth to give them to their readers. The Democrat would rather say the-public debt statements are tal?e and then indulge in a little abuse of bond holders, talk about KaJic.il thciving and how the poor to -diers widows and orphans are oppressed. Still Hendricks, Pendleton and Kdgeriou are very priuces among the bondholders, and all there soldifrs' widows and orphans were made so by Democratic liebellion the debt itself was caused by the same party, high taxes were necessitated by the infamous actions of that party, and to the sanio are chargeable all ttie troubles of the country for the last ten years. A Republican administration is doing all it cau to relieve the country from the burdeus of this Democratic rebellion. The debt has been rapidly decreased, taxes arc largely diminished, and they are much better collected than when Johnson was in power. If the Democrat would willing ly help now to liquidate tbe debt it helped to make, and admit facts as they exist, instead of belling its readers that it is all a hoax about the debt being reduced, it would stand in a much better condition. That taxes have been reduced, we have the recent tariff bill passed by Congress, making a reduction of 80,000,000. That the debt has been reduced, we have tbe sworn statements of the Secretary of the Treasury. Can the Democrat produce better evidence? Conner3ville Tiuie3. 1 t 1 1 1111 Among the prominent measures whic,i failed to pass the session of Congress just

closed were the Apportionment bill, Fremont's Southern Railroad, the New York & Washington Air-line Road, the Commercial Navigation bill, Cullom'a AotiPolygamy bill, Jenckes' Civil Service bill, the Cuban Resolutions, and the Postal Telegraph bill. About thirty land-grab bills also perished by the wayside.

The following gentlemen, prominent citizens of Aurora, Indiana, and vicinity, William S. Ilolman, member of Congress, Hiram Barricklow, W. J. Edwards, Henry Bush, O. P. Miller and Capt. C. C. Kelsey, start for Kansas on the 25th inst., on a prospecting tour, with a view? to settling permanently in that State. We take the following paragraph from the proceedings of Congress for last Friday: Mr. Cessna called up the Indiana contested election case, the majority resolution being that Julian, the sittinn member, was entitled to his seat, and that Reid be paid 84, SOD for his expenses. After discussion the resolution was adopted. Correspondence of Indiana American. Illinois Letter. Champaign, Ills., July 14, 1S70. Dear American, If it were not so hot, I would like to tell you many things; but when one i3 sweltering with the thermometer up toward 100 degrees, what can he do? I need not tell you that the weather has been wretchedly hot,or that we needed rain before it came, or that the crops are ex cellent, and fruit fairly plenty. You ought to know these things without being told I need not tell you, either, that a late article in the American about instinct in animals, and denying their' reasoning faculties, is all bosh, and wont do for this age of the world. It would have done a few hundred years ago. Your account of the 4'h of Julv Celebration was wonder fully interesting, and that day will long be remembered in the Valley. CHANGES. I see that changes are rapidly occurring in your section, and some of these are for the better. The recent changes in your College Faculty will be an improvement, and, if I am correctly informed, it has probably uevcr before been so well prepared lor successful teaching. If your Valley would wake out of its Rip Van Winkle sleep and rally around that Institution, it would be well for the Valley as to finances, intelligence and morals. It re mains to he seen whpther the npnnln will . i . i. .i - ' ' . iase vuvaniage oi mis new arrangement for their benefit If parents prefer to coop up their children by the fifties in a small, illy ventilated, uncomfortable and unhealthy building, when they are able to do better, it is their privilege so to do. It would seem to be better to make an extra effort to send children where nearly every possible advantage is afforded them. Bat L did not iutend a letter about the College. HONOftS. If it were not that you have so many D. D's iu your city, I would like to say something about the recent crop of sheep-skins that our Colleges j;re.v. llonois are very abundant this Summer. Maybe the hot weather and the general productivness of the Siason had something to do with it. One of your Indiana preachers tells me he was offered the double D. lor 1000, but he was worth only S5U0 and could not alford more than one D. Over here we made a man A. M. because he is a successful steer raiser, and we hope to get some of his money for a college. "Sick transmit of our glory on Mundi," and boys who struggle five years lor the degree ol A. M. may take a short cut aud zo to raising caltle. t POLITICAL. If it were not so warm I would tell you that there seems to be a desire iu several Congressional Districts to have a new man the next term lor Congress. Cullom, the Mortnan fighter, will probably bo left at home, and of course Mr. Julian will enjoy the same blessing. Maybe it will be ai well for all concerned. CONFERENCE. v Your good people are soon to enjoy a visit from the so-called "chicken-caters,' and as I had ample experience last year in providing for a conference, let iu say that Dr. Lynch will need the help of all who cau help. I greatly desire to spend a lew days with my old associates, but am hardly willing to take the room that properly belongs toothers, and I am free to say that all cousins, uncles and aunts had better make their visit just after Conference, so us to help eat up the scraps. They are not needed during the session of Conference, and of course the citizens having invited the Conference, will first nicely provide for its members, and then take care of outsiders and lookers-on. FINANCES. I am glad to see that Indiana is out of debt. 1 wish Illinois were. We are assessed here for railroads, colleges, etc., until I think our tuxe are about 8 per cent, in this county. It ruins a man here to be worth anything. Our new Constitution, lately adopted, will soon better our ufiuirs. GENERAL. Health is good here, business fair, crops excellent, whisky plenty, and things iu fair order generally; aud when the harvests are over and the farmers begin to ha n die mQney, there will be more lite than usual in this section. Before long we wiil have a direct route from here to Cincinnati without change'of cars, and then somebody will look iu j$u you and see how you flourish. Till thenj I remain Yours, W. II. G. Death of John A. Matson. John A. Matson died on Thursday night, of congestion of the brain, at his residence in Greencastle, in this State. Mr. Matson when he first rose into notice was a resident of Brookville, and was freqnently put forward for important offices by the Whigs in those days when they could do little else than make candidates for the Democrats to beat. In 1S43 be was the Whig candidate for Governor against Joseph A. Wright, but was beaten of course, lie became a Republican in 1S56 upon the organization of that party, and adhered to it through the war. During Johnson's administration some dissatisfaction separated him from his former associates and made him act with the Democracy. He. was a lawyer by profession,

but never ranked among the foremot either in the White Water or Wabash Valley. But he was universally esteemed a sound, clear-headed man, of good impulses and strict honesty, one of those men against whom little can be said, and, therefore,

more available candidates than more decided and abler men. Somewhere about the time of his race for Governor he removed from Brook villa to Greencastle, where he remained till his death. WVdo not know his asje, but suppose he must have been over sixty. Journal. The Meeting at Everton. Notwithstanding it was an extremely warm evening, and the people generally very busy with their crops, there was a good turnout of Republicans at Everton on Saturday night last to hear Judge Wilson. The meeting was organized by calling Dr. P. S. Silvey to the Chair. Dr. Siivey introduced Judge Wilson, who spoke about one hour and a half, .-ivinsr a clear and logical solution of the financial difficulties"nd tracing the history of the two parties for the last ten years. While the Republican party was found steadily on the side of the Government, the Democrat ic party in every instance bitterly opposed every measure for the suppression of the rebellion, and the restoration of the power and authority of the Government. During Ihe delivery of the speech, the Judge was frequently applauded. His clear and earnest way of presenting the issues has a good effect. His manner is entirely free from that turbu'ent "sound and fury," which indicates the demagogue or braggart, only tends to intimidate, and always fails to convince. We hope to be able soon to publish the speech in full. Connersville Times. State Debt. The Democratio party left, as a legacy to the Republican party, an immense State debt. In less than ten years that debt lias been almost wiped out, and that, too, without exorbitant taxation. Our State taxes are lower now than for many years. But place the Democrats in power again, and they will soon increase the taxes and siddle another debt upon us, for the benefit of their cold gambling friends in Wall street. "Winchester J oumal. In speaking of the new Democratic paper at Richmond, the Winchester Journal says: Durins the war. this m-in Elder was ed itor of a Democratic paper at- Richmond His office was mobbed, and his material ruined by the soldiers. This same Good irxiz, when he heird of it, exclaimed. 'Good, iroo.3.! I wish every copperhead newspaper office in this country was ser- . ' ' '. ; ved ti e same way. flooding says lie hasn't changed any. We'd like to hear from Elder on that question. Judge Wilson opened the campaign last nitrht, in the old Fourth Indiana District, with a speech, which, we doubt not, was, as our dispatches tell us. "strong and satisfactory to the Republicans." Judge Wilson is a strong man and knows how to ro:ike a strong speech, lie will make the canvass a lively one for Brother Gooding. Gazette cf Tuesday. We understand that the new Democratic paper of Richmond was issued on Thursday tast. We have not seen it but would like to know if its editor support for Conirrcss tbe man who, when the office of the Jeffersoniuti ws demolished by soldiers, jump ed up and clapped his hands, bhuuting ' Good! jrood!'
