FRIDAY, JANUARY G, 1871.

BYa vote of 23 to 23 in the Senate, it was yesterday decided, that the Senator from Delaware, Mr. Burson, should not be permitted to vote until further action of that body. This settles the important fact, that there will be a Democratic majority in the Senate the entire session, for Burson will not be-permitted to vote (it all.

This is pretty sharp practice, inaugurated by "Jim." Hughes in our Legislature—when there is not a majority with you, disfranchise enough of the opposition to bring them to a minority. Tills is sharp and worthy the great genius who effected it.

A few days ago, while at Indianapolis, and in conversation with Gov. Baker, we understood hi.n to sa.y, that Judge Hughes had remarked in his room that he intended to act with the Republican party during the winter.

Hughes was in this city a few days before, or after this interview with the Governor, and told Judge Patterson that he intended to act with the Democracy.

Making Officers Elect ivc.

Our Representative, Mr. Coburn, has introduced a bill in the House, the purpose of which is to make a large number of otrices now filled by appointment, elective. The bill leaves the diplomatic officers, department officers and judiciary officers as at present, to be filled by appointment, but makes elective postmasters, officers of internal revenue and land officers, pension officers, and all other local officers engaged in the civil administration of the Government. The intention to give to the people a large share of what is nowknown as the patronage of the Executive is evident, and the originator of the measure regards it as a safeguard against the dangerous exercise of Executive authority in any exigency. Under the proposed system no requirements of obedience to the instructions and authority of the President are abrogated. It is claimed that the experience of the recent war showed that appointed officers were as powerless as those elected to maintain the authority of the Government in rebellious localities, and showed no more disposition to do to.

SITAKPPKAGTICE.—A young girl called at the store of W.

Ryce & Co., last

evening and commenced making purchases of one of the salesmen of the establishment, assuring him that her father had sent her there with instructions to get whatevershe wanted and he would call in the morning to pay for them, giving his name. The salesman referred her to the book-keeper,

Mr.

S. S.

Allen,

who assured her that he could not let her have the articles she wished unless she could get a written order from her father or have some one to vouch for her. She stated then' that she had a brother residing near the city who was a well to do farmer, that she and her brother came to town together and that her brother stopped at a grocery store, and that she was to join him as soon as she was through with her trading. Mr. Allen then told her if she would bring her brother in, he would probably recognize him. This she appeared to be anxious to do, and said she would go and bring her brother in. The voung damsel then departed, since which time, she has not been heard from bv your deponent. The presumption isj- she was trying a littte sharp practice, thinking iii that way to secure whatever she wished.

BUKGLAKS seein to be the order of the day in this city as will be seen by the following Wednesday night a burglar, or burglars, effected an entrance through the window of the grocery store of Jules Houriet, corner of Third and Walnut streets, and carried oft about one hundred dollars worth of goods. Mr. H. otiers a reward of fifty dollars for the apprehension of the thief and the recovery of the goods.

The same party, it is thought, the same night entered the feed store of John C. Kestor, corner of Fourth and Walnut streets, effecting their entrance in the same way as at Mr. Houriet's grocery store. Fortunately, however, the vil. lians did not succeed in finding anything of value. Ineffectual attempts were made, evidently the night before, from the impressions of their instruments on the door, to force an entrance into the grocery stores of Turner & Buntiu and Mahler & Hoffman on Main street, between Sixth and Seventh.

There is no doubt but that there is a well organized band of these thieving scoundrels, who watch their opportunity to make their midnight raids upon the premises of our citizens and carry off whatever they can lay their hands on, eluding the vigilance of the police, even on such bright moonlight nights as night before last and the night before that, as was the case as given above.

Some of these midnight prowlers, as others have recently done, will yet fall into the hands of the "cops" and we trust will be brought before the tribunal presided over by Judge Long, who, assisted by Prosecutor Davis, will send them where they can learn a trade, the practicing of which will secure for them a living without violating the majesty of the law and disturbing honest people, and carrying off' their treasures.

Special Dispatches to l.ho Torre Haute Gazette.!

LONDON, Jan. G.—A dispatch from Havre., dated the 3d, reports that Bourbaki is marching on Germany, and that Chausey was atSemans, constantly pushing ahead troops in flying columns. Ten thousand troops are marching toward Paris via Chartre-. Garibaldi i3 at Dijon doing very little. Gen. Faideiv berbe is at Arras preparing a movement on Manteufle!, probably with the intention of joining Bourbaki, who is on the road to Germany to form a junction with the Army of the North.

There are now in Havre 18,000 troops, and outside, in the neighborhood of Balbec, 20,000, exclusive of regulars, Franctireurs and cavalry.

A forward movement was commenced to-day. There is a general exodus of troops by railroad.

Gen. Pitefgas returned this morning from the front. The Prussians are in force between Baren ton and Croix Mair, under Generals Manteutfel and Rouen.

LILLE, January 5.—The battle fought by the Army of the North on the 3d inst. resulted iii a great victory for our arms. General Faidherbe reports that the lighting lasted ten hours, and that he expelled the Prussians from all their positions and occupied the villages held by them in the morning. The losses on both sides were heavy. The villages of Bapaume and Delaiguis were totally destroyed. Railway travel between Lille and Cambria have been restored.

The fortress of Peronne, in the Department of Somme, has been destroyed by the bombardment which commenced last week, but it still holds out.

LONDON, Jan. 6.—A correspondent at Versailles, writes on the 2d inst., that the bombardment of the forts on the northeast of Paris coninues vigorously and uninterrupted by anything. The return fire is weak, especially from Noissy and Rosney, and the destruction of the forts is certain. Iti3 believed that an attack is intended to prevent a sortie from that side, and this is only the preliminary to a general bombardment.

The events are evidently pressing toward the climax. Information received here adds to the belief that Chausey is making a desperate effert to advance on Paris by way of Chartres.

Considerable excitement has been created here at the exposure of the fact that the manufacturers at Seelingin have been as active as the English manufacturers in supplying arms to the French.

HAVRE, Jan. 5.—The Prussians, in force, attacked the French on the lett bank of the Seine to-day. The result is not yet known. No particulars of the battle have come in.

LONDON, Jan. 5.—It is known in the highest German circles that desperate efforts to reduce Paris are being made. Upon the reduction of the forts on the southwest and northwest sides of the city, the enciente will be stormed. The present movements of Bourbaki and Chausey are more dangerous than ever before.

LONDON, Jan. G.—It is rumored that a Prussian courier has been captured by the Franc-Tireurs, near the Belgian frontier, and that on his person were found dispatches urging the United States to press the Alabama claims. The report is hardly credited here.

The London Times this morning, has an article on the Alabama question, in which it says England only desires by fair concessions and frank allowance to bring about a settlement of this foolish quarrel, which alienate two great nations allied by blood and sympathy.

Jules Favre has informed Count Bismarck, through the medium of Mr. Washburne, the American Minister, that he knows nothing of the European Conference, and will not leave Paris to attend it.

to the Senate, if Bot incompatible with the public interests, the last correspondence between Mr. Motley, Minister at the Court of St. James, anil the Department of State, together with such other dispatches and papers touching the subject matter to which such correspondence relates.

Mr. Sumner moved an amendment to include all telegraphic dispatcher an 1 other communications relating to his recall.

After remarks by Messrs. Edmunds and Morton, in opposition to the amendment as superfluous, it was agreed to upon a division, by a vote of 80 to 17, and the resolution, as amended, was adopted.

Mr. D-.ivis, from the Committee on Indian Affairs, made a report concurring in the opinion of the Attorney General that the United States are bound by treaty obligations, to issue to the Choctaw7 Indians $250.00!) in bonds. He also reported a resolution, which was adopted, declaring the President to have the power, without further legislation, to issue said bonds.

The Vice President announced as the select committee to consider certain charges against Senator Sprague, in connection with blockade running in Texas during the rebellion, Messrs. Sherman, Hamlin, Trumbull, Howe, and Willey.

argument averse to tie claim upon general principles. After a short debate the bill passed— yeas, 2S nays, 15.

It appropriates §25,000 for the dwelling of J. Milton Best, of Padueah, Kentucky, which was destroyed by order of the Union commander, to assist the range of gunners in Union fort, erected in the battle there of 1864, at which time the owner was a surgeon in the Union army.

At three o'clock P. M., after a brief executive session, the Senate adjourned until Monday.

House.

The Speaker laid before the House a letter from Mr. Schenck, of Ohio, stating that having accepted the office of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States to Great Britain, he resigned his seat as Representative from the Third District of Ohio, and requesting the Speaker to notify the Governor of Ohio of that fact.

The Speaker announced that lie had appointed Mr. Orth, of Indiana, to fill the vacancy in the Committee on Ways and Means, caused by the resignation of Mr. Schenck.

This appointment does not affect the Chairmanship of the Committee, which devolves on Hooper, of Massachusetts, who stood second on the committee.

The House then proceeded to the consideration of the resolution reported from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, in relation to the dispute between Mr. Washburne and the late Government of Paraguay.

The resolutions of the committee declare that Rear Admiral S. W. Gordon, in neglecting to aid Mr. Washburne in reaching the government to which he was accredited, failed to discharge liis duty as commander of the South Atlantic squadron, that Messrs. Bliss and Masterman were members ot the personal suite of Mr. Washburne, and were, therefore, under the law of nations, entitled to the protection of the officers of the United States that the forcible arrest and detention of Messrs. Bliss and Masterman, by the Government of Paraguary, was a violation of the law of nations, and a gross insult to the honor

and

dignity of the United States. They approve of the action of the President in withdrawing the American Minister, General McMahon, from the Government of Paraguay, and refusing to have further diplomatic intercourse with that Government, and they declare it to be clearly the duty of the United States naval officers on'foreign stations to render all the necessary assistance to diplomatic officers of the United States in the discharge of their duties, and that refusal or neglect to render such assistance when required,

any discourtesy shown by said naval officers towards diplomatic officers should be subject of inquiry and punishment by the Navy Department.

Mr. Orth moved an additional resolution disapproving the conduct of Rear Admiral C. H. Davis, in delaying for au unreasonable time to proceed to the rescue of Messrs. Bliss and Masterman, in accepting their release in the manner and under the circumstances, and treating them rs prisoners.

The resolutions

der

the

offered by Mr. Swann,

from the minority of the committee, denounce the arrest and detention Messrs. Bliss and Masterman, while un

protection of the American flag,

as an outrage which demands prompt reparation condemn Mr. Washburne for having submitted to the insult by Presideht Lopez, and leaving Messrs. Bliss and Masterman at the mercy of the Paraguayan authorities, and for having associated Bliss and Masterman, both adventurers and of doubtful regutation, with his legation, relieve Admirals Gordon and Davis of all blame, and declare that no legislation on the subject Is required on the part of Congress.

The resolutions of the majority were advocated at considerable length by Mr. Orth, and those of the minority at greater length by Mr. Swann.

It was agreed that the questian be further discussed to-morrow, until halfpast one, when the previous question will be moved.

On motion of Mr. Hooper, the Senate bill authorizing the issue of $500,000,000 of five per cent, bonds was taken from the Speaker's table, and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

Mr. Brooks, of New York, presented the memorial of the New York Chamber of Commerce, asking Congress to facilitate the laying of the cable across the Pacific
