Forrest on the Express.
It is refreshing, truly refreshing to ob .serve the heroic pluck of our neighbor. Tt absolutely shows spirit. Seems to be wide awake. Has got its dander up, and is anxious to picth in. The gauntlet is down, Mr. Forrest. The offensive article has been republished, and that is the highest order of courage. Now sir, shed your castor. Hip, hip, go at him. If you don't want to go, why stay away, but if you ever did want to go, why now is ft your time.
The courage of our cotemporary commends itself to us. We are in ecstacies, and so tickled with delight, that we hope some one will hold us. Just think of it— the Express showing spirit. The fossilized cerements being shaken off. Rip Yan Winkle awaken from his slumber. Ha ha !!ha
The Telegraphic Blunder.
Mr. Norcross chief of the telegraph office in this city,has been actively at worksince we exposed the telegraphic blunder by which we were prevented from making a very good speech to our old friends at Brook ville—in determining just where the error occurred. $$- jf j§
The telegraphic dispatch to us stated from rook ville, and had to come, first to Cambridge, then to Indianapolis, and then to this city. Mr. Norcrwss therefore sent the following dispatch to Indianapolis
Please send me the copy of the message of June 20th, from Brookville, Ind., to Col. Hudson, from Line and others, of twenty-seven words, as it passed your office, and also state what office youreceived it from. NOHCROSS.
The reply was:'
lfWe
[•\yE
received it from
Cambridge, and the following is an exact copy BROOK VILLE, June 20. Col. R. N. Hudson, Terre Haute, Ind:
Will you address the pioneers of Miami and White Water valleys at this place on the fourteenth Julv. Please answer.
AARON B. LINE**t WM. MCCLTTRK, -i C. B. BKNTLY,
Committee of invitation.
That settles the question that the office here and in the city of Indianapolis were neither to blame.
Mr. Norcross then sent the following message to the operator at Cambridge Please mail me a eopyjof the message from Brook ville, June 20, to Col. Hudson, signed Lino and ot hers, as it passed your otMce.
In due course of time the mail brought the following: BROOKVILLE, IND., June 20. Col. li. N. Hudson, Tcrrc Haute, Ind.:
Will you address the pioneers of the Miami and White Water valleys at this place on the fourth of July. Please answer. AARON B. LINK,
Wm. Mr "i.ntK, C. B. BKNTLY, And others.
Thus it will be seen that all this blundering occurred at Cambridge City. The message came to him from Brookvilleasking us to address the pioneers on the 4th of July. But when that message reached Indianapolis it was the "fourteenth" of July, and when we received it, it was also the fourteenth.
We make this statement now, for these reasons: Fiist, it exonerate the office in tfc city. Second, it disappointed uS, and as \ve understand was a great disappointment to our old friends at Brookville, and, third, it fastens the inexcusable blunder on the telegraph operator at Cambrige City, and we hope the General Agent at Indianapolis will see to it, that such blunders do not occur again, in that quarter at least.

The other men sprang forward to disarm him, when he fired the revolver, wounding one of them mortally, and with pistol in hand hitched up a team and drove oft' unmolested.

SENATE.
Mr. Howard, from the Conference Committee on the Georgia bill, reported that the committee were unable to agree upon a report, and moved that the Senate concur in the House amendments. He thought the bill ought to be passed at this session, and this could be accomplished aud the whole question settled oy concurrence.
Mr. Trumbull opposed the proposition, as involving an abandonment of the position of the Senate in maintaining the right of the people of Georgia to hold an election during the coming fall.
Upon this suggestion, Mr. Howard withdrew his motion, with a view to the possible settlement of the matter in the conference committee.
Mr. Anthony was elected President of the Senate pro tempore, to preside during the recess, the Vice President having vacated the chair for that purpose.
A bill for a pension of three thousand dollars per annum to Mrs. Lincoln is being considered.
Messrs. Bayard, and Morrill, of Vermont, opposed the bill, as creating a bad precedent and Messrs. Carpenter and Cameron favored it. Finally, the bill passed—yeas, 28 nays. 20.
Mr. Ramsey announced the death of his colleague, Hon. D. S. Norton, which occurred in Washington the previous evening. He said, in view of the little timo
with
$300 per month as commutation for fuel and quarters, and $000 per annum for forage, making the whole compensation Si7,700. The pay of Lieutenant General is fixed at $11,000, with fuel, quarters and forage, being a reduction of
$1,300
on his
present pay. Officers in active service are not allowed to hold civil office. Retired officers may hold office. This entitles General Sickles to continue in his position of Minister to Spain.
The committee did not meddle with the dismissal of the Stone papers. Therefore that matter remains as heretofore. Upon the matter of brevet in the army, it was provided that the officer shall not wear the uniform of his brevet rank while on official duty, leaving it optional with him to wear it at any other time. The provision allowing supernumary officers the alternative of discharge upon their own applications, or a furlough without pay, is stricken out, and provis
ion
for their muster out summarily after the first of January ne::t. Mr. Nye argued that the Senate had by a direct vote refused assent to the proposition recommended by the report. He thought the privilege to brevet officers to wear their uniforms at specified times might suit the line army, but he regarded it a direct insult to officers who bravely won their uniform. Tne proposition to muster out as supernumeraries officers of that remnant of veterans who were already being fast swallowed up by death, was liable to all objections previously urged against it. He preferred to ha\'e the law as all these matters as at present.
Upon the suggestion of Mr. Warner, the report was temporarily withdrawn for the purpose of correction.
On motion of Mr. Harlan, the Senate adheres to its amendment to the Indian appropriation bill, and referred the House bill placing
$5,000,0)0
at the disposal of
the President for Indian service to the Committee on Appropriations. The reports of tiB conference committee on the sundry appropriation bills and the deficiency appropriation bill were adopted.
A message was received from the President returning, with objections, the bill providing for the payment of bounties to certain Alabama aad Florida troops.
On motion of Mr Wilson, the message was ordered printed and the whole subject went over unti next session.
Mr. Howard subnitted the Conference Committee's report on the Georgia bill in favor of the louse bill, with an amendment declaring that nothing in that or any other let of Congress shall be construed to affebt the term to which any officer has b^n appointed or any member of the Gineral Assembly has been elected, as prescribed by the Constitution Of Georgia.
Mr. Drake inquind whether it was not the effect of the bil. as amended to compel the election nexj fall.
Mr. Howard replied that he did not understand that tie bill affected that question at all, butieft it where it was before, to be decked according to the provisions of the Sate constitution.^
Mr. Thurman, nember from Connecticut, said the amaidment would secure an election this fill unless usurpation wras resorted to.
It was finally adapted without any objection. Mr. Morrill, of Maine, from the Committee on Appropriations, reported back
the bill placing five million dollars at the disposal of the President to maintain peace with the Indians and for the Indian service. The committee recommended an increase of the amount to six million dollars as the aggregate of sums in regard to which the two Houses had agreed.
They also reported the section making specific provisions for the expenditure of the money first, to pay the general and contingent expenses of the Indian department second, to carry out the treaty stipulations third, to meet the demands of Indian service in the Territories, and States of California, Oregon and Nevada, and by providing for the purchase and supply of goods, agricultural implements, live stock, etc., and for the support
HOUSE.
Objections were made to the taking up of the Senate amendments to the apportionment bill, and the bill remains on the Speaker's table.
The Senate bills on the Speaker's table were disposed of more summarily. They numbered about eighty, of which twentyfive were for railroad grants. The latter were objected to, even before the Clerk had time to read their titles. The others were either objected to or remained on the Speaker's table, and were referred to their appropriate committees with the exception of a few, which passed, viz: For tlie relief of the 3d Arkansas Cavalry granting bronze ordnance for the erection of an equestrian statue of General Rawlins authorizing the continuance of the invention for post-marking mail packages granting condemned cannon for the soldiers' monument at Omaha repealing the bill granting a pension to Mrs. Ernestine Becker removing the political disabilities of G. H. Bird, of Maryland, and M. C. Butler, of South Carolina amending the bankrupt law.
The Senate amendments to the House bill extending the provisions of pre-emp-tion laws to the territory of Colorado, were concurred in.
The Washington and New York Air Line Railroad bill was reached, but objection being made it remains on the Speaker's table.
Mr. Cox introduced a joint resolution reciting numerous petitions of wine and liquor importers, and dealers in spirits, that the tax is ten times greater than on any other branch of business, and providing that it shall cease after the first of December, 1870. Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
The Senate bill authorizing the Secreretary of War to take charge of Gettysburg'and Antietam National Cemeteries, and granting ordnance for a soldiers' monument at Cleveland, Ohio, passed also removing the political disabilities of W. C. Whitehouse, of Maury county, Tennessee.
Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, from the Reconstruction Committee, reported a bill for the sale of lots and tracts of land on Sea Island, in Beaufort county, Soi#li Carolina.
During the discussion of the measure the Speaker laid before the House the Senate concurrent resolution on tlie death of Senator Norton, and providing for a committee to attend the-remains to the place of interment. The resolution was concurred in.
Mr. Dawes reported that the Conference Committee on the Indian appropriation hin hnrl been uuahle to agr*e after ten or twelve laborious session*.. The two Houses had taken positions in reference to the Indian treaties of 1808 that appeared irreconcilable, and now they were forced either to the necessity of having an extra session called by proclamation of the President to attend to the matter, or the responsibility of an Indian war but lie had been authorized by the Committee on Appropriations to report an entirely new bill, appropriating $5,000,000, to enable the President to maintain peace among the several tribes, bands or parties of Indians, and pay annuities to them to promote civilization among them by placing them, where practicable, on reservations, and to relieve their necessities and encourage their efforts at self-support. A detailed report of all expenditures up to that date to be made to Congress in December next.
He admitted that this was the kind of legislation that ought to be resorted to only in the last extremity. He would put no such power in the hands of the President. He did not not believe it was now the only practicable way of preserving peace among the Indians.
Mr. Garfield thought ah appropriation of $5,000,000, without recognizing the treaties, would not prevent an Indian war while the appropriation of $4,000,000, with such recognition, would prevent it, and he argued that generally it was the duty of tlie House to carry out the provisions of treaties made by a constitutional treaty making power.
Mr. Sargent made a formal conference report on the subject, and moved that the House adhere to the position of the bill.
The motion, which terminates the matter and virtually kills the bill, was agreed to.
Mr. Davis then called for a vote on the bill in the hands of the President, for Indian purposes, and stated that if it was not passed the members would be called back to an extra session before they reached the railroad depot.
The rules were suspended, and the bill passed. Yeas, 123 nay, 66. Mr. Loughridge, from the Judiciary Committee, reported a bill ceding to the States of Ohio jurisdiction over grounds of the National Asylum for disabled soldiers. Passed.
Mr. Clark, of Kansas, from the Committee on Indian Affaire, reported a bill authorizing the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to appoint guardians or trustees of minor Indian children entitled to pensions or bounties. Passed. The bill is confined to the Ninth Kansas Cavalry.
Mr. Lynch offered a resolution authorizing the Select Committee on the Decay of American Commerce to report at the next session. There was a great deal of opposition manifested, on the supposition that it would authorize the Committee to sit during the recess. The resolution was modified to exclude that conclusion, after which it was adopted.
The efforts of several members to get the floor met with loud shouts of "Regular order!" and the demand was responded to by Mr. Dickey, who made tlie report of the conference committee on the army bill.
The report was agreed to. The next proposition was offered by Mr. Benjamin, to continue to pay the Clerk an invalid pension during the recess. On a vote by a division and a subsequent vote by letters, there was a requisite two-thirds majority, but the minority waa strong enough to order the yeas anil nays.
Before the votes were taken that way a message was received from the Senate with the announcements of enrolled bills.
The Speaker appealed to the members to take their seats and preserve order, but the appeal was very generally disregarded by members, who chatted noisily in groups, or moved around the hall, while a loud hum of voices from the floor, galleries, cloak-room and passages, made the scene rather confusedj and uproarious.

floors and galleries. The thermometer stood at 90°. The result of the vote was adverse to the resolution, there being less than twothirds in its favor.
The next matter coming up was the report by Mr Dawes, of the Conference Committee on the bill making appropriations for sundry civil expenses of the Government.
Mr. Holman, from the Committee on Claims, reported a bill for the relief of Lot North, postmaster at Patriot, Indiana, which was passed.
Mr. Mercer, from the Conference Committee on the bill to regulate the compensation of Grand and Petit Jurors made a report, which was agreed to.
On motion of Mr. Schenck, the Senate amendment to the bill in reference to the drawback on cotton goods, was concurred in.
Mr. Dawes offered a resolution remitting all fines imposed on members for absence, which was adopted.
After discussion, it was agreed to, and also that on the additional deficiency bill. This was the last of the confercncc reports on the appriation bills.
The Senate ameudinent to the resolution for printing 275,000 copies of the Agricultural report for 1869, reducing the number to 225,000 copies was concurred in.
Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, called up the Senate bill to relieve the political disabilities of certain citizens of Kentucky, 71 in number, and moved to suspend the rules and pass it.
Mr. Stokes entered solemn protest against this partial legislation, as he had himself introduced bills every Monday to relieve citizens of Tennessee, which bills the Reconstruction Committee had not acted upon.
On a vote by tellers, there was not a two-thirds majority, thereupon Mr. Butler, at midnight, withdrew his bill and made a report from the Conference ('unimitteeonthe Georgia bill.
Tlie report was agreed to, and the House adjourned until nine o'clock tomorrow.
