A correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal writing from Bloomington, under the date of the 16th instant says:: "The nomination of Moses F. Dunn in this District'for Congress gives univeral satisfaction among Republicans. Most of the peopl' 'of Bloomington are personally acqu-' «d with Mr. Dunn. They know hi' Illig^nce and ability, and believe I is strictly honest, and a true I" An. He will not only receive evt. Republican vote in Monroe county, but the party will go into the coming canvass with all its might. Nothing that honest zeal can do wiil be left undone. [He also says that Judge Hughes will not receive one .dozen votes in the District, if the feeling in Bloomington be a correct index to the entire District.] "The present collegiate year of Indiana University will end iii two weeks. The attendance of students has been large, tiiescholarship good, the workings of the University successful. This collegiate year lias undoubtedly been the most prosperous in the history of the institution. "Last night the annual exhibition of the Sophomore class took place at the College Chapel. The performances consisted of debate, orations, essays and declamations. An argument on the question "Will there be an early dissolution of our Government?" by G. W. Holland, and a declamation by B. A. Cravens, were entitled to the most praise. The excellence of the whole performance was very much eclipsed by the profusion, of bouquets.
Mr. Nye, of Nevada, at a lass for argument with which to employ the time of the Senate allotted to debate on the bill abolishing the franking privilege, by the abuse of which the Senator costs the Government something over $8,000 a year, advanced the singular idea tliat Postmaster-General Cresswell had instigated the movement for the purpose of making a great man of himself. It is a very legitimate means to employ, that of doing one's duty and Mr. Nye might improve his reputation by bringingequal zeal and sagacity to the discharge of his. The Postmaster-General will get much less credit thau he deserves in case of either failure or success, but there is not a doubt that those who persist in oppos. ing the bill by such idle means as those which Mr. Nye yesterday emploved will receive the full measure of popular iudsr~ent.—iVr.

Advices from the Surveying Expedition.
NEW YORK, June 19.—Advices from the Darien expedition to May 30, have been received. The weather continued unfavorable, heavy rains daily, swelling the streams to torrents, making it dimcult to keep the Working parties provisioned. The survey from the Bay of San Bias, had, however, proceeded 120 miles. The highest elevation found was 309 feet, and two elevations of rivers 295 feet. It is believed the survey will be continued till the parties cross the dividing ridge and communicate with that from the Niack, on the Pacific side, who had gone some distance up the Byano, and were about to leave it for Mormonia.
The general health of the expedition is fair, there being no sickness except.fever and ague. "The men are dissatisfied with Capt. Selfudge's determination to prolong their stay on the Isthmus. Five have deserted from the storeship guard. A much longer stay in such a climate will be dangerous, as most of the men have worn out their clothing and shoes, and the officers are but little better off. The latest dispatch states that the expedition dined on fresh potatoes, bee$s and carrotts from San Francisco.

CINCINNATI, June 19.—The grand Stengerfest pic nic came oft' to-day at Short's Grove. Steamboats were plying between the city and grounds all day, and two trains were running at intervals. About 40,000 persons were present. Speeches were made by Dr. Lilientlial, Dr. Weire, Judge Siallo, Colonel Moore, and Wm. S. Furay. The singers in attendance upon the Samgerfest were banqueted, and the day was spent in singing, instrumental music, and festivity. The immense concourse was orderly.
An accident occurred to the Ben Franklin which was nigh being serious. She had been chartered to convey persons to the pic nic, and while endeavoring to pass the bridge her chimneys struck. There were about 100 persons on board. Many were badly frightened, and some endeavored to jump overboard, but were restrained. The pilot-house was completely demolished. The pilot Frank Robinson, Was serlfciisly hurt, and James B. Troy, a boy, was bruised.
.Sher
man to select and report upon small arms and accoutrements for the use of the United States, concluded their experiments last week. The variety of small arms and accoutrements presented for the consideration of the board was unusually large, consisting of 48 different systems of breech loading rifles, carbines, pistols and revolvers, each possessing distinct peculiarities and each being valuable and ingenious improvements on former systems: also,, 82 setsf of accoutrements, cartridge boxes, etc.
The Board subjected all the arms to rigid experimental tests, the result of which will be promulgated only through the official reports. Among those tested are included several sent by European manufacturers, and now in use by some of .the European Governments but although excellent weapons, they were found to be inferior to many of American invention. Hereafter the rifle for infantry and the carbine and pistols for cavalry will be of the same system of breech mechanism, and each with a caliber of 50-100 inch. As soon as the selections of this Board are introduced among ..the ti-Qops/ it is thought our army will be armed and equipped superior to any of the European armies.
The same officers have also been intrusted with the revision of the tactics for the cavalry, artillery and infantry. This part of tlieir labors is also rapidly approaching completion, the Government printing office at Department Headquarters being engaged in printing the final reports intended for Washington. They have harmonized the tactics for the three arms of the service as far as practicable, introduced many new and important evolutions and simplified the whole system of command, establishing them upon a regulated and uniform basis. A committee of the board are now at Fort Hays, Kansas, where eight companies have assembled to allow them to practically test the new tactics.

TERKE HAUTE, IND., MONDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 20, 1870. NO. 17.
took up, as unfinished business, the postoffice appropriation bill and amendments relative to the repeal of the franking privilege.
Mr. Thurman moved an amendment that the abolition of the franking privilege should not take effect till August 1. Adopted.
Mr. Morton opposed the amendment for two cent postage, as involving a loss of postal revenues without any corresponding" benefit, as it would not increase mail matter one per cent. He held that the present rates of postage were sufficiently low.
After further debate the Senate voted on Mr. Ramsey's amendednlent as amended, abolishing the franking privilege and providing for one cent postage, etc. The amendment was rejected.
Yeas—Messrs. Chandler, Fen ton, Hamilton, of Texas, Hamlin, Harlan, Howard, McCreery, Morton, Pratt, Ramsey, Schurz, Scott, Scunner, Thurman, Wiley and and Yates—16.
Nays—Messrs. Ames, Bayard, Boreman, Brownlow, Cole, Drake, Ferry, Fowler, Harris, Howard, Johnson, McDonald, Morril, of Maine, Morril, of Vermont, Osborn, Pool, Rice, Robertson, Ross, Sanger, Spencer, Sprague, Stewart, Stockton, Thayer, Tipton, Trumbull, Vickers, Warren and Williams—30.
The bill was then reported to the Senate, when Mr. Ramsey renewed his amendment and appealed to the Senate to vote upon the direct question of abolishing the franking privilege.
Mr jDrake renewed his amendment relative to newspapers, which was accepted by Mr. Ramsey as a modification of his own.
Mr. Morvill, of Vermont, renewed his amendment. Mr. Thurman appealed to the chairman of the Postoffice Committee (Sir. Ramsey) to withdraw his proposition, as it had been voted on in committee.
Mr. Harlan thought the fate of the franking bill ^depended upon its being appended to an appropriation bill. As a friend of the measure, he was willing a direct vote should be taken upon it.
Mr. Trumbull said it would be impossible to get a direct vote, as a majority of the Senate seemed determined to"prevent that by amending.
The proposition, after numerous suggestions, which were not acted upon, as to the nest means of determining the Senate, on the various propositions, the amendment of Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, was rejected—yeas 21, nays 28—the Senators asserting that they would vote down all amendments.
The Senate then adjourned until Monday... HOUSE.
The Seuate joint resolution for the appointment of a naval board to examine the cases of officers who deem themselves unjustly passed over by promotions made in conformity with the act ot Congress of July 25, 1866, was passed.

The bill to restore the pension of Margaret L. By bee, of Tennessee, was rejected—yeas, 53 nays, 75.
Mr. Washburne of Massachusetts, from the Committee »n Claims, reported back the Senate bill to authorize the settlement of accounts of officers of the army and navy in cases where vouchers were lost, and' for over payments, etc., with an amendment limiting settlement to sums under $5,000, and to officers in whose accounts there is no apparent fraud. The amendment was agreed to, and the bill passed.
The Speaker submitted the credentials of B. F. Whittemore, from the First Congressional District of South Carolina. The credentials were read.
Mr. Logan objected to Mr. Whittemore being sworn in, for reasons lie proposed to state to the House. He did not want the matter referred to any committee tho House was competent enough to judge of it. He objected to the oath of office being administered to this man, because he had disqualified himself from being a member of this body.
Mr. Farnsworth argued that the matter should be referred to a committee, so that the action of the House might be based upon a full presentation of facts and authorities.
Mr. Logan did not want the question to go to any committee, to be pocketed until after the adjournment of Congress he wanted the question settled by the House now. There was no necessity for the examination by a committee. It was not a case of contested election: ifc was a mere question of qualification.
The Speaker suggested that as to-day had been assigned to business of the Committee on Claims, this matter be postponed until Tuesday after morning hour.
Mr. Garfield suggested a resolution to make it a rule of the House that in case any person presents himself at the bar of the House to be sworn in as a member elect, who may have been expelled, or who may have resigned at the same session of Congress while a resolution for his expulsion was pending, it shall be in order, before administeringtheoath to him, to refer the case to the committee which had in charge the resolution of expulsion, or the House may at once act on the cases..
After further discussion, the question was postponed until Tuesday next, after the morning hour, and the House proceedednvith" the business from the Committee on Claims.
After disposing of a large number of private claims, Sir. Mercer, from the Judiciary Committee, reported a bill to amend the act of June 11, 1864, changing and defining the boundaries of the Eastern and Western districts of Virginia. Passed.
Mr. Schenck gave notice that on Monday next, after the morning hour, he would move to proceed with the business on the Speaker's table.

A Yankee's Speculation—De Soto's Treasii ry. A real Yankee trick lias lately been
Ted
upon a Mississippi ex-rebel. A Ynrlr «inH
ox was made in New York and a dingy rusty appearance given to it. It was strapped and bound round with iron in the oddest fashion, to give it the most antique appcaranee, as well as to indicate the value of its contents. Then a lot of genuine ancient coins of no great value was placed in it, besides a large quantity of spurious coins with ancient dates, a lot of buckles &c. A mouldy green appearance was most artistically given to the coins, also to the various ornaments.
This box and contents were secretly carried to the neighborhood of Natchez, Miss., where two negroes were taken into the conspiracy. In due time it was noised about that a mysterious box was discovered. An excitement was gotten up, the box and contents were examined. It was pronounced
De Soto's Treasury
it was estimated to be worth intrinsically S30.000, but of immense value as a relic. Some credulous^ ex-rebels who wished to hurry up their fortunes, bought the treasury for §35,000, with tne expectation of getting over $100,000 in New York. The whole has proved to be a fraud—the Yankee members of the firm have skedadled with the money and their negro confederates are now in Adams county jail.—Vtcksbwg
