Unless the time be extended, the pres ent.session of Congress will terminate on i'riday, July 15th. More than seven months have been passed in spasmodic attempts at reform, and yet how little bas been accomplished ! Selfish consideration of party success, and not regard for the interestsrof the great body of the people, now and then aroused the majority in (!cngress t(? the necessity of steps towards relieving the people, bt when the murmurs had ceased, they slunk back to their usual indifference, and rencwed thie work of plunder and corruption. There’ are rumors that” Congress will continue its session two weeks after the time now fixed for adjournment, but that it will be better for the countiy if they adjourn as soon as the time specifled even the. radical party organs admit, and the latter even urge their legislators to. not prolong the ' session. The Fort Wayne h’azet’}e is particularly severe on the members, and chides them for “dilly dallying” in the carly part of the jsession, and rushing things through at the close.

Mlnority népresem}nlon. ; According to late returns, the minority ‘representation clause in the new constitu- _ tion of Illinois has been ratified by about thirty thousand majority. By this decision, Illinois has taken the first step in & : political movewment of great and grave importance ; and to her belongs the credit of taKing the initiatory steps in sccuring the minority & just'representation in the councilg of government. . The new constitution will take effect on the eighth day of August, so that the next Legislature will, if: this new feature . of the instrument accomplishes the work for which it was intended, nearly repre sent-the strength of the respective parties. The result will be looked for with interest ' by many who have long doubted the completeness of our popular sjét_om of representation of the people. . Mrs. Lineoln’s Pension. Washington specials state that there was another fierce débate in the Senate on ~ Saturday, on granting Mts. Lincoln a . pension of $3,000 a year The new Towa senator said it was a sneaking fraud to place a civilian o a pension roll. - Yates, of Illinois, said he did not care what oth- ~ ers might'say ; he.knew'that Mrs. Lincoin and all her family sympathized witb ithe’ rebeHion throughout its existence, and he wou'd ‘not vote a dollar for foreign show. Saulsbury, of Delaware, created great merriment - by proposing that the senators make up @ purse for Mrs. Lincoln out/of their own pockets, and said he would giveas much ‘as Mr. Sumner. A vote to table the bill was lost by nine majority, and pending its passage other business had to intervene. i N : Expatriation. 5 The world moves, and America moves it. After half a century of persistent demands on our side and cqually persistent refusals on the side of England, the lat ter power has been brought to concede the right of every Englishman: to elect his: own nationality. The' feudal doctrine which chained a man’s duties to hie birthplace,thus struck down at last in England, is giving ‘way all over Europe. The ' New York World says that Germany has virtually abandoned it by her treaties ne- " gotiated with us, and Holland has oow " formally begun so to alter her laws as to emancipate Dutchmen into citizens of the world." bl e | AR ey S S O Gen, Hancock and the Président. A private letter from Gen. ‘' Hancock says he has just returned from a trip to ‘the northern 'frontier, and has just therefore seen the publication of Gen.

CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS. ]- “The Republicans of Indiana’have made their nominations for Congress in %‘b li Districts save one—the exception bei | the Seventh, or! Lafayette District. , l Democrats, on the other hand, have t] | far made nominations in only three lis ‘ tricts—the Second, Fourth and Sixth.— | The following are the nominations made : 1 ~ln the Fist District the Republicans whave nominated Capt, I, C, Gooding, to | be bandsomely beaten by Hon. W. E. Ni- | black, who' wilt<be:re nominated by the ! Democracy withoutopposition. Niblack’s ' msjority two years ago was 1,485, which | will doubtless be increased, the negro vote | to the contrary notwithstapding. - In the Second District the Republicans E selected 'Geo. W. Carr as their standard- ' bearer, whilst the Democraey. have placed ! in nomination for re-election theirc:l,‘isti'n- | guished Representative, Hon. M. C. Kerr, | who will enter upon his fourth term with | & majority ranging from six to seven thoa- | sand. i : | Rev. Herry R. Pritchard is ithe repub | lican nomineesin the Third T istrict. He i will be beaten to the tune of about one ! thousand by Judge Holman, to whose rei now.ination there is no opposition. l In ;l._ne “ Fourth District both parties i‘lmwé made their nominations—David 8. { Gooding being the democratie, and J. M. [ Wilson the republican pominee. In this District thesdemocratic candidate, Judge Reid, was efected by 86 majority. over G. W. Julian, although. the latter still fraudulently holds the seat by reason of the refusal of the radical muiority’t? take action ‘upon the contest instigated by Reid. Julian .was obnoxious to a large number of Republicans, and consequently ran largely behind the State ticket. The District really is mepublican, but Judge Gooding is -such an effective canvasdser that the Democracy entertain strong hopes of electing their candidate, - | The Fifth (Indianapolis) District gave i a republican’ majority of 1032 two years ago. The Republicans haye re nominated Gen. John@@oburn by acclamation. With & popular candidate, the Democracy may | be able (o redeem this District. I The most exciting campaign will doubt(less be witnessed in the Sixth (Terre | Haute) District. There are three candidates in the field — Daniel W. Voorhees, democratic; Moses F. Dunn, republican; James Hughes, independent.” Voorhees’ majority two years ago was 128. Dunn is & wealthy bachelor, and will deal out ‘greenbacks liberally to defeat his disting ‘uished competitor—an event scarcely to be anticipated. Negro voters are-to be imported in' large mumbers, and every agency of fraud and corruption applied to accomplish tbat object. Morton’s unbounded hatred of Voorhees will add to the- intensity of the contest. Notwithstanding all this, well-informed politiciaus predict the triumphant re election, by an increased majority, of.the “Tall Syca- | more of the Wabash.” Hughes, if he remains in the field, will searcely poll over fifty votes. o In the Seventh District no nominations’ have been made by cither party. It may safely be assumed, however, that General Lew Wallace will be the republican candidate. The Republicans carried the Dis trict by 457 majority, which can easily be -overcome. ' ' ; { The Kighth District is almost hopelessly radical —the majority two yearsago reaching 2287. ' James N. Tyner, the pres_ent incumbent; is re-nominated. We make no calculatiops upon carrying the Eighth. John Peter Cleaver Shanks, who was elected by 941 ximjm:‘ity two years ago, has been re-nominated in the Ninth (F't. Wayne) District. He is not the most popular man in the State, and will find it ‘no.easy work to retain his seat against John Colerick, who will doubtless be ~nominated by the Democracy. In the Tenth District, which two years ago gave 2323 radical majority, a great change may safely be prediéted. If Billy Williams succeeds in being re elected, it will be by the “skin of his teeth.” Many :of his former supporters confidently pre.dict his defeat. | T , 't The Eleventh District is disputable éround, The re-nomination of Jasper Packard is very distasteful to a large number of Republicans. = A determined effort | on part of the Democracy will result in the redemption of Smiler’s District. : ‘We shall be greatly surprised if the Republicans succeed in electing more th n four out of tli¢ eleven members fFom this State. Verily, the signs of the times are most cheering. ' U : i i s i Another Nomination for President. The Indianapolis Sentinel says the reception of Mr. Peadleton at Charlottsville must. haye been gratifying to that gentleman. After the delivery of his address at the Alumni dinner given at the University of Virginia, Governor Walker made a speech in which he alluded to the next Presidency, and asked who the standard bearer should be. The whole company shouted out “Pendleton—George H. Pendleton,” which was greeted with loud applause, and follewed by Colonel Hiliary P. Jones, who proposed *‘Our next President, George H.-Pendlcton; of Ohio, and our next Vice President, = Gilbert C. | Walker, of Virginia.” Mr. Pendleton re sponded, bnt found himself' émbarassed for words to express the sentiments of | his heart. - S :

Meorton—-Colfax. i The Indianapolis Journal officialiy announgces that L " “YVice President Colfax has declined numerous invitationsto speak in the Eastern Statés during’ tlie ¢oming canvass, in order'that he may devote all his time to indiana. He will canvass the 11th Congressional District, after which he will speak in various parts of the State.” _ " The same paper also states that “Senator Morton will prebably leave for California about the first of August, but will return by the first of SBeptember, after which time he will take an active part in the canvass.” - ! DR Sl 4 A e : Bt Pratt Won’t Resign. > i Benator Pratt has changed his mind. He no longer proposes to -surrender his seat in the Senate, but has concluded to serve ottt his term. - When he thought of resigning he was. of the opinion that the Re})ublican party would retain the control ‘of Indiana and have the power to select ‘bis successor, but he has come to the conclusion not to take that risk, and hence _be will not force upon” thé pext Legisla‘tare. the duty of"seleczin‘; a Senator.— 'Btraws show which way the wind blows,. and M ;:,gmggg looking for & residence in Washington, to'fwhigﬁ;jsa; will remove ;ﬁc family after the summer vacation, is. an indication of the course of the political _currents, — Indinnapolis Bentinel.

| THE COMING ISSUE. ~ Protection or free trade, argues the St. Lgie, s (ghe g ioge idaein our'futare pol gﬂ ciibs, and perliaps, the sgem “pme. -Tt »"‘ i go g i tic and multiplying corruptions of the party in power shall obscure all other - questions, destroy interestin all other discussions, and make the violent and exém+ .plaryoverthrofy of that pasty the supreme. necessity of the hour, A, system which extorts from the penple $5: for -the benefit of certain. manufacturers for every $1 paid to the government— a system which, under the pretext of protecting Afierican industry, forces the people to pay about $900,000,000 tribute to protected monopolies, in paying $180,000,000 of customs revenue to the national treasury, is so monstrous in its injustice and its inflictions that it cannot be patiently endured much longer. It has been challenged to & defence of itself, and the controversy thus begun must go on, heightening in intcrest and intensity till & full and final decision shall be had. At the beginning of the discussion, tariff reform would have satisfied the opponents of the present system, and the aggressive movement against it took that form. : But the attack provoked resistance.- The protected monop- | olists rullied to the defence of their pre- - rogative, and boldly asserted their power in congress oy bringing forward a new | tariff bill which is worse than the old ore.” An aggressive moyement rarely stops ‘where it first proposed to; the violentand unreasoning opposition to a reduction of | the tariff has stimulated its victims to go farther than they intended, and already it is scen that tariff reform must give place to substantial free trade—the freest practicable interchange of the products of in dustry. - No.specious subterfugé of “revenue tariff with incidental - protection” will meet the inereasing demands of the case. The Marshdll fesolutions in Con-' gress, declaring that the ¢overnment has no constitutional authority to tax one cit izen, .or one class of citizens, for the advantage of another, and that it can tax the people only for its own maintenance, present the busis on which the free trade movement stands, and must stand;. The antithesis to it is protection—the right of the government to enrich and aggrandize one class by the impoverishiment and degradation of others. Thisis the naked idnue, and round its opposing points the combatants will respectively rally infuture contests. = o £ S - The dominant party in Congress is responsible for the present tariff. Indeed, it is the author of it, for though some of ‘ .its most. enlightened members have dis-_ tinguished themselves by their opposition to it, their opposition avails nothing against the stubborn adherenge to the system of the almost-united party. = Radicalism adopted the present system, ostensi: bly as a war measure, in 1861, and refuses to remove it in 1870. A 7 the Democratic' members’ of the Senate and House are ranged against it; but the dominant par ty maintains it ‘n_spite of their opposition, in spite of the appeals of the people for relief, and in, spite of the immeasurable calamities to industry:that it has pro“duced.’ - Fhe few Republican opponents of protection - tell us it ‘is-unjust to h»ld .their party, as a party, respousible for the present system. 'This 1s a singularclaim to come from persons who denounce the Democratic party as the author and abet tor -of the rebellion of 1861, and who maintained themselves in_power solely by virtue of that denunciation. We have a due respect for those Republicans who oppose the unionopoly tariff, but if they have become victiins of theirown accepted and prectised system of party warfare, it is their fault, not. ours. ' “Fhe people cannot wait till' thé whole Republican party has been converted. to the liberal and benign principles of free trade; that would be asking rather too much of them, particularly when there is a powerful party pledged to free trade already organized. . If, as the Republican press is cofi_stantly assuring us, the questions involved -in and growing out of the war are forever settled by the adoption of the: XVth Amendmeiit, let those of that party’ who are. opposed to :protection act with the Democrats in the now war beforé us—the’ JWar-against the monopoly tariff. One Democratic triumph in & general election would. finish that tariff for ever;-a half -dozen Republican triumphs would notdo it.. If, tberefore, the ‘overthrow of the. monopcly *system is, as these gentlemen ‘truly assert, the great necessity of the _timer, let them give théir‘co'operation to ‘the only party that'siands ready to acicomplish that festlt, & o % ‘Fighting over the Spoils: President Grant recently made several _changes in the appointment ‘of federal officers for the State and city of New York.: Among the newly-appointed “officers is Thomas Murphy ae Collector of the Port, a very lucrative and responsible‘s{isitiop.;'/ Mr. Murphy belongs to the Weed faction of the republican party, and his confirmation. is therefore bitterly opposed by Greeley and the faction of which Senator Fenton is the leader. A bitter war is rag'ing at Washington oyer Mr. Murphy's ap‘pointment, and every effort is being made by the Fenton men to defeat-the confirmation, but it looks &% if theiréfforts would fail. A swarm of New York politicians infest the Capitol and harrass'Senators with their views. Several clergymen call: cd at the Senate door on the stb, and sent’ in their cards, advising Senators to reject Murphy begause he is a Roman Catholic. " The! nomination of Murphy has since been confirmed. ° Sri

: Naming Candidates. : | ~ The Detroit Free Press says.that every | little while the Radicals have a spasmodic attack of selecting a Presidential candidate for the Democracy in 1872, They. run through a long list of names as of those among, whom is likely to be found ‘ the guccessful man as the standard bearer in that fight. And.it is remarkable that in all this matter, in no case do they mention a man as likely to be pominated who. isnot jn every way the superior of Grant. It indicates a desire for improvement in the standard of execuive ability, coupled ‘with the additional fact that for that improvement they are compelled to look to the Democratic party.

Special Internal Revenue Commissioner David A. Wells, in a letter to A. T. Stewart, estimates the adverse balance on all accounts; apart - from specie exported for the year, at $182,000,000. ' The export of specie for the first ten months was nearly $22,000,000, and may have amounted to $25,000,000 for the whole year. The net increase of our indebtedness to Eurepe during the year was therefore $157,000,000, represented, doubtless, by exports of national and state securities, and of railroad bonds. The amount of American obligations of all kinds now held in Europe, can scarcely be less than $1,500,000,000.

- A New York dispatch says that parties returning from Woodstoek, Connecticut, the place-where Gen. Grant and suite spent the Fourth, state that Rev.

This aceounts for his uncilited for remarks on McClellan. — Members of his congregation are willing to endure this first offense, because he happened to spend the 4th in company with Grant and Butler. .

Tt is rumored that President Grant has determined to recall the present Minister to England. The Philadelphia Age says it has the authority of respectable Radical newspapers for stating that the President's sole object in removing Mr. Motley is to'gratify a personal spite toward Mr. Sﬁm:xerv for his opposition to the San Domingo scheme. General Grant has in dicated an intention of making war upon all the Radical Senatcrs who opposed his pel job. : :

Dispatches from Paris, dated July sth, state that the heat is again intense.

In Brittany the drought is so severe that farmers are selling their cattle at the rate of two cents per pound. In Paris, however, the butchers still keep up the price of meat. The provincial journgls concur in estimating the yield of the grain crop at one-fourth. below the average. Qi 4

The Conflagration at Constantinople. The most graphic accounts of the great fire at Constantinople fail to convey an idea of its horrors and destructiveness. More than 7,000 houses were deetroy(%i; and property to the value of $40,000,000 was sacrificed.— More than 1,000 dead bodies have been recovered,and there all still 1,400 missing persons unaccounted for. Seven fire companies, engines and men, (fer“ished in the flames they endeavored to ‘subdue. The horrible incidents are too numerous to detail. ' Strangest of all is the fact that the fire thus destructive raged but a few hours,and spread with ‘such rapidity that bnildinga were | swef)t away in an instant, and with an explosion like that of a eannon. Such awfully destructive fires are, fortunately, hardly possible in American cities, with their broad avenues, brick build--ings and superior fire engines. i ——— B—- ; Rule or Ruin.

Senator Snm;cr is no longer admitted to the White House.: He opposed Mr. Grant’s little San Domingo scheme for the enrichment of Babcock and others, and thus incurred the deadly hostility of the hero of Long Branch.

Among these friends is Minister Motley, and it is believed that he will be one of the first, to be-cut down in his beauty and. bloom.
