ry, without further authority into the issue and use of Cuban bonds, and that the President, in his recent message,, should have taken up the same point.

Mr. Butter said the publie,statement about the Cuban bonds tnd not come mm any information obtained from his Committee.

Mr. Banks asked his colleague if he had exhibited the Cuban bonds to all the members of the House.

Mr. Butler replied that he had exhibited half a dozen Cuban bonds which were taken from the pockets of the reporter of

why he had not made his report, having had the subject under consideration for nearly three months.

Mr. Butler replied that he had brought before the Judiciary Committe the propriety of compelling the attorney of the Cubans to disclose the contract under which $2,000,000 of bonds had been deposited. The question was still before the committee.

Mr. Eldridge objected to the disclosure of matter before the committee, and the Speaker sustained the objection.

Mr. Willard spoke in support of the views of the minority of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and defended the course of Secretary Fish.

Mr. Butler, the next speaker, while announcing himself a friend of Cuban independence, said he believed the course taken in carrying on the war in Cuba had retarded and was retarding the independence of Cuba and her consequent annexation to this country. He defended Secretary Fish, and also Cushing, who knew nothing of the President's message until it had been read iu the House, and never received a dollar for services from the Spanish' Minister, directly or indirectly, on any occasion. He claimed that under the neutrality laws the Cuban Junta could send all the men and munitions they could get,"in a ship from Boston or New York to Cuba, unsearched, with the full knowledge and without interference from the United States Government until the ship got

of the island of Cuba. The resolution reported had just escaped being anything except mischievous. They would embroil the United States in a quarrel with Spain. If gentlemen asked whether he was hot willing to have a war with Spain, he would say that, as a Fourth of July business, he was, but as a statesman he was not because Spain was just iu position to desire a war. She had a government only provisional not with any ascertained dynasty not with any hold on the people. If Spain could get into a war with the United States on a fair pretence the effect would be to unite her people into a common bond of patriotism, and would give the Spanish government a prestige at home. All she could lose was Cuba, and that, in his judgment, was already lo3t. But the effect on the United States finances would be very prejudiced. It would prevent the funding of the national debt, and new bonds would have to be issued that would be sold abroad at from 40 to 60 cents on the dollar..

Mr. Logan replied to Butler in an animated manner, criticising him sharply in reference to his suggestions about the use of Cuban bonds. Once there had not been a stronger advocate for Cuban independence than the gentleman from Massachusetts and now he was on the other side, and insinuated that Cuban bonds influenced the votes of members.

Cuban bonds he asserted, had no influence on members. Gold was far better for corrupting purposes than bonds, and if anything had been used on either side it would have been gold. The insinuation was low, and contrary to good manners and good faith it was an act which ought not to be recoghized as the act of a gentleman. [Applause in galleries, which call forth a lecture from the Speaker.]

Mr. Logan continued. He meant no personal offense, but he was perfectly astonished at the gentleman from Massachusetts, going off without authority and hunting* up a witness in an attempt to throw dirt on the reputation of his fellow memhers. He was astonished to see him the friend of humanity, the friend of good reputations, undertake in the interest of monarchy and oppression, of blood and carnage, and in opposition to liberty and freedom, attempt to class his brother members with thieves and vagabonds. Leaving the subject, Mr. Logan proceeded to advocate, in an eloquent and impassioned strain the cause of free Cuba, and to reply to the arguments made in debate against the resolution. He said he could give reasons why there was such opposition to the recognition of belligerency. It was not from the fear of being embroiled in a war it was because a few gentlemen had been sent to Madrid to made arrangements with Gen. Prim for the purchase of Cuba, when it was to be. turned over to Cubans for $100,000,000. That was the milk in the cocoanut—the meat in the egg. Would the gentleman from Massachusetts say that it was not the fact. He (Logan) happened to know something of the secret workings and object of all these great appeals that he had heard to-day. As to the President's message, he said that if Gen. Grant had not been up in Pennsylvania fishing when the message was written, he would not have signed it as readily as he had done. He (Logan) was sorry the President had signed it. It was a bad message.' It did not state the law correctly, and lie was sorry to see the President put upon record a misstatement of the law. He appealed to the House, if it. erred at all, to let it be on the side of humanity and liberty, and to his fellow Repulicans he appealed not to let the Democrats beat them in faVOr of li berty. [Ap-

Mr. Banks took the floor to close the debate. Mr. Bingham appealed to Mr. Banks for an opportunity to offer a substitute for the resolution of the minority.

Mr. Banks declined to yield. 4 Mr. Dawes submitted that it was hardly fair for the debate to be confined to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Various Suggestions were made to Mr. Banks, as the House had been in session for seven hours, to consent to an adjournmentor recess, but he resisted them, and appealed to the members to remain in session and dispose of the motion, as an adjournment without disposing of it would be fatal to the proposition. Mr. Banks then proceeded with his closing speech in favor of the resolution.

Mr. Bingham moved to reconsider the vote by which the main question was ordered, so he might offer an amendment.

Mr. Eldridge moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the tfeble. A vote was taken on Mr. Eldridge's motion in them^ditpf intense excitement on the floor and in il& crowded galleries, and was decided in the negative—yeas 91, nays 94.

Mr. Cox moved to adjourn. Lost—62 to 104. The main question, was then reconsidered, and Mr. Bingham offered as a substitute for the resolution of the minority the third section of the resolution of the majority, modified as follows:

That the President is hereby authorized to remonstrate against the barbarous

Tlie Authorship of the Cnban Message— Dispatches from Minister Motley— Union League.

WASHINGTON, June 15.—General Cushing had nothing to do with the President's message on Cuba, and no one outside of the Executive Department knew of its existence before it was submitted to the members of the Cabinet. Belknap and Boutwell were absent from the city, but those present agreed that the condition of affairs in Cuoa did not justify a declaration of belligerent rights, and it is known the position of the President is that while all people struggling for liberty have his sympathy, and while he would be glad to see all who live on this continent in possession of republican governmant, his oath of office requires him to see that the Constitution and laws are respected, without regard to his individual desires or sympathy.

The Natioanl Executive Committee of the Union League of America meet at the St. Nicholas Hotel, New York, Tuesday next,

The StateDepartment to-day received dispatches from Minister Motley at London, principally in relation to the persecution of converts to Christianity in Japan. The British, French and Prussian Governments accord with our own in interposing their good offices for the protection of these Christians, and they will exert their moral power to this end. Force cannot be used, as no treaty obligations are violated. It appears that the Japanese opposition is not because the converts are Christians, but because it is feared the professed faith will make them disloval to their Government.

Father, I have con\e to bid you good by. I want an answer to my request for the men I have named for my agents and traders. I do not want strange men. I also ask for 17 horses to take us back home from the railroad. Before you sent troops to my country you never had any trouble. I ask you whether I did any damage to those who passed my country. I divided with them what I had, put moccasins on their feet and made them presents of horses. Listen to me. All you seem against lis. The men you send out to my country always make war, and all they want is to make money by destroying us. I -do not want any military men for my agents or superintendents I would rather have other men. You send out men who are poor, who maj' fill their pockets. These I do not want. intend to make a speech in New York*

Secretary Cox briefly replied. He was not ready to name the traders or agents. -The military were for the protection or Indians atid whites alike. Gen. Smith would buy many presents for himself and his people, but the Government had not yet got the 17 horses he asked for. He hoped there would be no more trouble, and concluded by wishing Red Cloud a pleasant journey home, telling him to telegraph when he reached his reservation.

Red Cloud, after a pause, replied: I know you will remember what I have said, for you have good memories. If I had not been for peace I should not have come to my Great Father's house. Tell your children to keeep peace. I do not say to my father, go to my country and scarce the game away. Tell him to keep his people away. I will not do wrong.

TERRE HAUTE.

The late rains have made the Prairie City look handsomer than ever, and that is saying much for one of the handsomest, freshest and wealthiest cities of our great State. The crops west of Greencastle, but especially in the neighborhood of Terre Haute, promise most excellently. The kindness of Mr. L. A. Burnett, the efficient and courteous Postmaster, gave us the pleasure of a drive about the city during the afternoon, after the work had been concluded, aud it is hard to say too much of the elegant residences, the magnificent environs, and the evidences of manufacturing prosperity^that were successively shown. Terre Haute may well be proud of herself, and the State at large cannot resist feeling the deepest interest in all that administers to its development and advancement.

WESTERN LANDS.

Homestead and Pre-emption.

Istatement,plainlyaprinted

HAVE compiled full, concise and complete for the information of persons, intending to take up a Homestead or Pre-Emption in this poetry of the West, embracing Iowa, Dakota, and Nebraska and o'her sections. It explains how to proceed to secure 100 acres of Rich Farming Land for Nothing, six months before you leave your home, in the most healthful climate. In short it contains just such instructions as are needed by those intending to make a Home and Fortune in the Free Lands of the West. I -will send one ol these printed Guides to any person for 25 cents. The information alone, wliicn, it gives is worth 85 to anybody. Men who came here two and three years ago, and took a farm, aire to-day independent.

with the Great Father. I want to show I go away peaceably. I want to raise my ichildren on my land, and therefttfe want my Great Father to keepi his children away from me. I was never raised by my father on hOrSes. The Mexicans show me how to ride them. I want good horses, the same as you gave to Spotted Tail. I am not mad witb you. I have got a better* heart. I am going home. If you will not give me hoi%Cs, very -well. God Almighty raised me naked. I am much pleased with your offer to give me presents, but I do not want any. -«4

This country is being crossed with numerous Railroads from every direction to Sioux City, Iowa. Six Railroads will be made to this city within one year. One is already In operation connecting'us with Chicago and the 1J. 1\ Railroad and two more will be completed before spring, connecting us with Dubuque and McGregor, direct. Three more will be completed within a year, connecting us direct with St. Paul, Minn., Yankton, Dakota, and Columbus, Nebraska, on the IT. P. Railroad. The Missouri River gives us the Mountain Trade. us it will be seen that no section of country offers such unprecedented advantages for business, speculation aud making a fortune, for the country is being populated, and towns and cities are being built, and fortunes made almost beyond belief. Every man who takes a homestead now will have a railroad market at his own door, And any enterprising young man with a small capi tal can establish himself in a permanent paying business, if he selects the right location and right branch of trade. Eighteen years residence in the western country, and a large portion oi the time employed as a Mercantile Agent in this country, has made me familiar with all the branches of business and the best locations in this country. For one doll&r remitted to me I will give truthful and definite answers to all questions on this subject desired bv such persons Tell them the best place to locate, and what business is overcrowded and what branch is neglected.
