Tho Law of Average*. &

The late Mr. Buckle, in his "Introduction to the History of Civilization in England," somewhat startled the world by announcing a theory of average, which he applied to all human actions, and from which he argued that we might forecast the future. It was philosophy teaching by statistics. In such a space of time there would be so many forgeries, arsons, murders, etc. Not only this, but the murders would repeat themselves in the manner of their preparation just the same number would be by poison, by the pistol, by the bludgeon, etc. If, in' any three months of 1840, six sons had killed their fathers, 'the like number of cases of parricide, with a certain increase for the increase of population, would occur in the same three months of 1850. We live under the operation of a law sefeming beyond our control or recognition.

This extraordinary theory has seemingly just received a striking confirmation in the Registrar-General's report of accidents in the streets of London. For many years past it has been observed, that for the first 19 weeks Of the year, just 74 persons "have been iiled by being run over in the public thoroughfares. It was therefore expected, from the unfailing law of average, that the same number would be killed for the first weeks in 1869. On the 8th day of May after the lapse of weeks, the number of fatal accidents of this kind should have been seventy, but it fell -four short of that number. Obviously then, the law of average must fail, or the accidents for the week ending the 15th of May must be doubled. Curiously enough, for the seven days, from the 8th to the 15th eight persons were- actually fiilled instead of tour and thus the victims, demanded lv "the merciless arithmetic, were fully made up.

The Chnreli of Jerusalem. The church of Jerusalem, the church of Christianity, was formed upon the simplest and most natural plan. Its affairs were discussed and determined in a general assembly of the faithful. It knew no earthly master, acknowledged no temporal bead. The apostles themselves, full of humility and fovfe, yielded 11 each other's opinions, to be bound by the decisions of their own body or of the united church. Peter, whose vigorous faith formed for a time the chief support of his companions, was: sometimes governed by the Hebraic impulses of the austere James, and was afterward softened by the generous remonstrances of Paul. James himself, the brother of the Lord, at the apostolic council urged compromise and peace. The apostles laid no

in which, in his unaffected humility, no man sought authority over another, and where all were equal in common faith, and overpowering love. Its ritual was the natural impulse of a believing heart.

The Christians met in private rooms or on the flat tops of houses, and joined at regular intervals in prayer and praise. The sermon of the presbyter and the apQstle was usually unpremeditated, and pointed to the sacrifice of Calvary.

diaiijce in Funding Bill—000,0005Tationnl Itank Bill—Mold to be f^old in Jiily-lciiiiessee to be Reconstructed—

Municipal .Election—Onba—San ItominSi'O Treaty.

WASHINGTON, June 6.—The Ways and Means Committee held a special session on Saturday evening, for the purpose of making some changes in the lunding bill, which some members of the Committee regarded as important. It was finally matured, and presented to the House to-day for the purpose of printing and recommitting. It is the intention of General Schenck, who has charge of the measure, to press it immediately after the tax and tariff bills are disposed of. It is entirely a new bill, and not one of the features of the Senate bill remains, and while the committee do not allude to the question of requiring banks to exchange their bonds for ones bearing the same rate of interest, they will oppose any measure looking to that end.

Gen. Garfield, who has charge of the $95,000,000 National bank bill, expects to get it before the House on Tuesday, and continue its consideration until it is disposed Of. This measure will antagonize somewhat with the funding bill, as it provides 4A per cent, bonds for bank purposes under the proposed bill.

The friends of Cuba say that large quantities of arms were lately dispatched to the insurgents, and additional supplies are soon to be sent thither.

Secretary Boutwell proposes selling in July about $32,000,000 of gbld interest on bonds, that have been purchased from time to time and credited to the sinking fund.

It is expected that at the next meeting of the Committee on Reconstruction, legislation will be proposed concerAng the State of Tennessee. Representatives Maynard and Stokes, and other prominent gentlemen, are opposed to the present condition of affairs, and ask Congress to pass a law declaring that the Legislature is an illegal body, as they claim that a majority of the members were elected against the provisions of the Constitution, by persons excluded from voting by reason of their connection with the rebellion. It does not seem probable that Congress will haye time to definitely ast upon the subject, in view of the pressure of business.

An extraordinary degree of excitement prevails in regard to the municipal election. The Democrats made no nominations, and the contest for the Mayoralty is between the present incumbent, Bowen, and Emery, both of whom claim to represent the Republican party. The contest will be one or the fiercest ever known in this city, and has engendered violent controversy "between the opposing parties. To such an alarming extent is this manifested that serious trouble isfeared at the polls, and in order to keep the peace, the United States forces at the barracks will be placed under the control of the Superintendent of Police. Besides these, a large special police force will be on hand.

The

State

Department as yet has re

ceived no official information in reference to the reported massacre of Jews in Romania. President Grant yesterday requested Secretary Fish, .liQweyer, to endeavor to obtain some trustworthy information concerning the massacre, and, in the meantime, do all in his power to prevent the Turkish Government from further persecutions.

The San Domingo treaty is stronger by the votes of two Senators who have come over to its support during the past five weeks. It only needs one or two more to insure its-passage.

CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON, June G.

-I SENATK. Mr. Williams, from the Committee on Public Lands, reported, with amendments, the bill granting lands to aid in the construction of canals for irrigating purposes in California.

Mr. Buckingham reported, with amendments, the bill for the improvement of water communication between the Mississippi river and Lake Michigan, by way of the Wisconsin and Fox rivers. "The' following bills were introduced and referred:

By Mr. Spencer—Granting lands to the State of Alabama to aid in the construction of the Savannah and Memphis Railroad.

By Mr. Stewart—To prohibit contracts for servile labor. Mr. Stewart said the bill was intended to apply to Chinese immigration. He said that in making Coolie labor contracts, the Chinese contractors took advantage of the peculiar religious views of the Chinese to provide for their return to their native land, dead or alive. These contracts were for four years, and the Chinese dared not break the contract for fear, in case of death, his body might not be returned to his own country. The bill would break up this Coolie system by prohibiting contracts for a longer period than six months, while it also provided for the return of Chinamen to their own country. The period would be long enough to enable the emigrants to pay the expenses of their passage, and not long enough to make their importation, as a system, a means of profit. The bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee.

On motion of Mr. Howard, the Texas Pacific Railroad bill was made the special order.

Mr. Drake entered a motion to reconsider the vote making the Texas Southern Pacific Railroad bill a special order.

Mr. Williams's joint resolution for the increase of pay of Assistant Census Marshals, was taken up, amended, and passed.

As amended, it provides that the increase shall not exceed 50 percent, of the present compensation, nor shall the entire compensation be more than eight dollars a day, exclusive of mileage, for the time actually employed an additional allowance to be made when, by reason of sparseness of population, the compensation allowed by law is not sufficient.

Mr. Patterson called up the bill to repeal all existing laws authorizing the transportation or exportation of goods, wares and merchandise, in bond, to Mexico overland, or by inland waters. He said the Secretary of the Treasury was anxious for tho passage of the bill, as it would do away with an immense amount of smuggling on the Mexican border.

Mr. Chandler remarked that the saving to be effected by it would amount to $0,000,000 per annum.

The bill passed without debate. The Indian appropriation bill was proceeded with, and various* amendments proposed.

An_amendment to the rules was discussed. It provides for the termination of a debate on an amendment to an appropriation bill by a two-thirds vote also, that no amendments to an appropriation bill, other than such as directly relate to appropriations in the bill, be received or adopted without a two-thirds vote.

Mr. Trumbull opposed the proposition as an attempt to introduce the rule of the previous question, which had jjnevcr yet been resorted to in the Senate.

Mr. Hamlin, while favoring the fullest discussion, was in favor of the amendment, as doing away with tiresome and unnecessary debate. I- y.

No action was taken. Amendments reported from the Committee on Indian Affairs were adopted appropriating $100,000 for the industrial schools among the various Indian tribes, and 850,000 for Indian^ service in Alaska.

Mr. Davis reported an amandment to give the Choctaw Indians $250,000 worth of bonds, bearing the date of July 1,186(5, in execution of treaties stipulations.

Nil*. Buckingham moved ,the bonds be those of 1861. .. Both amondmcnts were rejected, on the ground that the Choctawsi aided the rebellion. Altera brief executive session flie Senate took a recess. -. EVENING SESSION. .***

The House joint resolution granting the right of way to the Memphis, El Paso and Pacific Railroad Company, was indefinitely postponed.

The bill for the settlement of claims for Quartermaster's stores and Commissary stores, furnished to or taken by us within the States in rebellion during'the late war, came up. Mr. Chandler moved that it be passed over. Lost, 14 to 32.

The pending motion to recommit, with instructions, to the Committee on Claims, to provide for the adjudication of claims in the Court of Claims, was rejected by 12 to 27.

The question tlien being on the pending amendment of Mr. Williams, declaring the act to provide only for the examination, and not to create any obligation on the Government for the payment of claims.

Several Senators objected that the provision was'superfluous, Mr. Warner adding that it'was an insult to all the claimants.

Mr. Williams advocated his amendment as a specific limitation of the purpose of the bill. Without it this legislation would be the first step by Congress toward paying

ffor

all the losses of the

rebel States during the war. It was the first step that was fatal in that direction. If the doors of the treasury were now open-to'', them, the people of the South would KAhkrupt tho Government.

Mr. Fowler would regard the refusal of the Government to pay the claims of loyal men lor losses by the war, by neglect of Government, as the act of a highwayman. There was no law, human or divine, to warrant Government in thus pillaging its own friends.

Mr. Rice hoped the vote on the amendment would be a test on the general liberality of the Government on the class of claims referred to.

Mr. Edmunds argued that in allowing evidence of loyalty to be shown, either by conduct or speech, the bill would permit payment for the stores taken from Gen. Lee or any other man engaged in the rebellion against the Government. Any man who fought the Government all day might be paid by showing that he talked loyalty all night.

Mr. Drake considered the fatal feature of the bill to be the requirement of the Quartermaster General and Commissary General to pass upon a claim, upon an ex parte statement of the claimant, without any opportunity for the Government to be heard in the cases., ,,

Mr. Nye argued that ^the principles of tlie bill were unsound, and would entail upon the Government enormous liabilities.

Mr. Howe replied that the Gqv'&Dkment could not evade the payment ofcft just debt on the grounds that ther debt was top great. If needs be, it should perish in its efforts to liquidate its obligations. He advocated the bill at length on consideration of the justice and policy of claiming, in a merely provided method Of settlement, the claims to be deprecated of all discriminations as to loyalty between citizens of different States. Without a vote the Senate adjourned.

TERRE HAUTE, IND., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 7, 1870. NO. 6.

HOUSE.

Bills were introduced and referred, by Mr. Willard, to facilitate telegraphic communication between the United States and Bermuda Islands, and by Mr. 'Morrill, of Pennsylvania, to encourage building ships for foreign trade, by allowing drawbacks on imported material, and equivalent allowances where American materials are used.

By Mr. Jones, of North Carolina, incorporating a branch of the contemplated Southern "Trans-Continental Railroad Company, as the North Carolina Western Railroad Company.

By Mr. Harris, for the appointment of a committee to consider the system of leveeing Mississippi lands.

By Mr. Newsom, to provide for the payment of loyal claims for property taken or destroyed by the United States also, to provide for the repairs of levees on Red River, between the mouth and Shreveport.

By Mr. Prosser, to authorize the President to submit a proposition to tlie Spanish Government for the settlement of difficulties in Cuba, by arbitration or otherwise.

By Mr. Arnell, to establish a Freednian's Homestead Commission also, authorizing the payment of "bounty to colored men enrolled as slaves by Congress for building custom house, etc., at Port Huron, Michigan.

By Mr. Wilson, ofMinnesota For the improvement of tlie harbor of Duluth also authorizing the Hudson Bay and Lake Pepin Railroad Company to construct and maintain a bridge across the Mississippi river.

By Mr. Taffe: Granting public lands to the Great Nehoma Valley Railroad. Mr. Ward offered a resolution instructing the Committee on Ways and Means to report a bill abolishing the tariff on coal.

He moved the previous question which was seconded, and under its operation the resolution was agreed to, 113 against 79.

The following additional bills were introduced and referred. By Mr. Negley, to encourage the establishment of steamship lines to ports of Europe, India and China.

By Mr. Sargeant, to amend the act of June 20, 1868, imposing taxes on distilled spirits and tobacco, so as to allow the same drawback as allowed on rum and alcohol.

On motion of Mr. Dawes, the rules were suspended and the order of the House requiring adjournment daily at 5 o'clock was rescinded.

Mr. Banks moved to suspend the rules and assign Tuesday of next week, and from day to day thereafter, for the consideration of the majority and minority reports of the Committee on Foreign Affairs in reference to Cuba, stating that he would not allowT the subject to consume more than one or two days at the farthest.

The House refused to suspend the rules. Mr. Banks modified his motion by confining it to one day, Tuesday of next week.

Mr. Farnswortli said that his objection was that the subject of Cuba would displace other public business. He consid* ered that an outrage and a humbug. The motion was agreed to—134 to 20.

Mr. Banks called attention to the fact of the present publication of what is purported to beHhc report of the committee. It was published without the authority or knowledge of the committee, and he regretted exceedingly its publication. It was an imperfect report of a statement read to the committee on the 17th of March last, and had been kept confidential. He asked that majority and minority reports might be published in the Globe before the day assigned. Ordered.

Mr. Dawes, from the appropriation committee, reported, the river and harbor appropriation bill, and the sundry civil service appropriation billf which were made the special order, the former for next Thursday, and the latter for Wednesday of next week. He stated that these were the last of the appropriation bills.

Mr. Schenck, Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, reported a bill to authorize the funding and consolidation of the National .debt and for other purposes. Re-committed and ordered printed. It authorizes the issue of one billion of coupon and registered 30 year bonds, redeemable in coin, bearing 4 per cent, coin interest, principal and interest to be exempt from all Federal, State, municipal and local taxation. The total bonded debt is not to be increased, but the new bonds are to be exchanged for the outstanding 5.20 bonds at par value.

The fourth section authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to sell all the surplus gold in the Treasury, the proceeds ot which to be used in buying up and cancelling the 5.20 bonds.

Tlie subsequent sections authorize cancelation and destruction, and the bonds now or hereafter held as a sinking and special fund. A detailed record thereof is to be kept, and the same to be deducted lrom the outstanding debt, and says that an amount equal to the interest on all the bonds belonging to the sinking fund shall be applied to the payment of the public debt. They also authorize the issue of three per cent, certificates in return for the gold deposited, for not" less than 30 days, with the Treasurer of the United States, which may be received at par, with accrued interest, in payment for the bonds authorized by this act.

The House then resumed the consideratfon of the bill to reduce taxation, the question being on Mr. Schenck's motion to lay on the table. The motion to reconsider the vote whereby the main question was ordered on his amendment, viz the first section of the tariff bill, on motion was agreed to, and the amendment adopted by 139 to 43.

Mr. Schenck then offered as an amendment the second section of the tariff bill, that being the free list section. The previous question was seconded by 102 to 40, and the amendment adopted. The items of clay and fuller's earth and sponges were stricken out of the list and the item of ceylanite inserted.

Mr. Schenck then offered as an amendmeut to the third section, relieving from tuunago duties, vessels in the coastwise trade and fisheries.

THE INDIANS.

Account of the Recent Attack on Bear Creek Station—Movement of Troops— Fiffht between the Sioux and ('heyucs.

CHICAGO, June 6.—News received in this city to-day from Fort Stevenson, Dakotah Territory, states that a party of Sioux Indians near that point had attacked a party of Cheyennes, killing one of their number and wounding several others. The Cheyennes, to the number of about 800 lodges, were exasperated, and were threatening war to the knife against the Sioux. Four or five other tribes had manifested their dispo sition to unite with the Cheyennes in their work of revenge, and there was a prospect of bloodthirsty times among the savages of that region.

ST. LOUIS, June 6.—Captain Mitchell, of the Fifth Infantry, who arrived to-day from the Indian country, gives an account of the recent attack on Bear Creek Station, 40 miles south of Fort Dodge.

Thirty-five Indians came to the Station, which was guarded by Sargeant Murray and four men of the Third Infantry. The Indians, who represented themselves as Arapahoes, after cooking and eating for some time in a a friendly manner, all left except seven. Those remainingthen shot two of Murray's men, and severely wounded*the Sergeant himself after which they fled. Sixty mules belonging to Mr. Tracy, a trader at Camp Supply, were run off, and one herder killed. Two or three other men were also killed at different places.

It is reported that all the Indians hare left Camp Supply and the new Indian agency on the Canadian river.

It is also stated that a grand council was recently held at Antelope Hills, by the Camanches, Kiowas, Cheyennes, Arapahoes, and Apaches, and some runners from the Sioux, but the result is unknown.

An expedition consisting of four companies of the Seventh Cavalry and one company of infantry, left Kit Carson on Friday last, for the Forks of the Republican river.

Three batteries at Fort Riley have been ordered to move at once, and report to General Custar, to relieve the Seventh Cavalry, now guarding the frontier, on Solomon and Republican rivers.

The cavalry is to be concentrated at Fort Hays and the most vigorous measures are to be adopted against the Indians.

Governor Harvey, of Kansas, reached General Custar's camp yesterday, to confer regarding the campaign.
