THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1871.

Apportionment Bill.

From Washington we are informed that the House Judiciary Committee lias finished the consideration of, and agreed to report, Mercur's apportionment bill as it now stands, giving the House two hundred and eighty-three members. Michigan gains three, Illinois four, Wisconsin two, and Indiana and Minnesota one each. The States West and Northwest of Ohio gain twenty-one members.

Also that the Colored Labor Convention is in session there to-day. After a lengthy debate a series of resolutions were adopted in favor of a protective tiriflT, and it was agreed to memoralize Congress against further land grants, and in favor of keeping the public lands until taken by actual settlers under the Homestead act.

Also that the memorial of the Committee appointed by the Indianapolis Immigration Convention was presented to the Houve to-day. There is a powerful lobby here from New York to prevent any legislation tl'at will-take from the control of the Tammany politicians the control of the immigrants. The Com mittee who have the matter in charge a -e thoroughly pr pin to show how they have systematically robbed immigrants for a series of years, and used the money to perpetuate their power in New York.

It is furner said from Washington that Mr. Yoorhees, although apparently elated at the success of tli? Democracy in (retting control of the Indiana Legislature, is said to be dreadful uneasy lest an apportionment bill may be rushed through and so arranged as to send Judge Hughes to Congress in his stead.

THE amnesty bill drags its slow length along at our National Capital. It comes up tor discussion to-day, and a vote will probably be reached on the amendments now pending. The conviction V.iat nothing can be accomplished in the direction of amnesty this session, owing to the great diversity of views prevailing among the Republicans in Congress, has destroyed all interest in the bill, and it was not possible to ascertain the probable fate of the several amendments.

In the Senate, another amnesty bill, introduced by Senator Wilson, has been presented. The circle is daily narrowing and the most radical will soon be willing to grant unconditional amnesty and oblivion. This bill excepts only members of Congress and Cabinet officers who went ii^to the rebellion, and those holding office in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment.

The unusual number of lectures may puzzle one to decide which to patronize, where all are good but it is evident that the experiences and discoveries of a travler and scholar, such as Du Chaillu has proved himself, who has contributed much new and valuable information to natural history and geography, must enable him to instruct and interest the most intelligent audience by his descriptions, delivered in a graphic and vivaciousstyle of oratory. But he must be heard to be thoroughly appreciated

WASHINGTON,January11.

Senate.

The House concurrent resolution for the appointment of a joint Committee on all Ocean Cable legislation, was debated upon a motion of Mr. Chandler to refer to the Committee on Foreign Relations.

The subject, by consent, was finally laid over without action until to-morrow. The latter half of the morning hour, until 1 o'clock, was occupied by Mr. Revels in remarks on the bill and on repairs and construction of levees in the State of Mississippi. Upon his motion the bill was referred.

The Senate then resumed consideration of the resolution amended by the House for the appointment of Commissioners to San Domingo. The question being upon Mr. Sumner's motion to amend the House amendment by adding thereto, "and the Commissioners shall inquire especially into the alleged pendency of civil war in Dominica, and state the territory occupied by the opposing parties also as to the-relations between the existing government of Dominica and neighboring Republic of Hayti and the dependency by the latter upon the former and whether any war now exists,or is menaced between these two governments."

Mr. Saulsbury moved as a further amendment to add, "And providing further that Benjamin F. Curtis, Millard Fillmore and Gen. W. T. Sherman shall be Commissioners."

Mr. Stewart took the floor in favor of the resolution. He argued that further territorial expansion or this county was part of its manifest destiny, and a necessary incident to its growth in wealth and power.

Mr. Stewart incidently alluded to the leader Cabral, when Mr. Morton made a statement to the effect that that chieftain had said to the United States Minister at Hayti, that he was in favor of annexation as an independent question, but was opposed to annexation under Baez, because that would result in making the latter the Governor of the Island, and he would oppose Cabral and his adherents.

Mr. Schurz in a long speech indicative of his determined hostility to annexation, proceeded to review the arguments urged by its supporters.

Mr Morton thought that San Domingo ought to be annexed, and if the United States refused to acquire the Island our Government would be debarred'from asserting the Monroe doctrine

[Special Dispatches to the Terre Haute Gazette.] UOKDEVUX.—The Moniteur publishes

the fullowing news from the army of the East: ROXGAMONT, DEPARTMENT OF DAUPS, Jan. 9.—A battle was fought north of this place to-day, ending at seven in the evening, with victory for our arms. Night prevents us from ascertaining the full extent of our success. The General commanding bivouacs in the center of the battle-field, and all pre-assigned positions are occupied by our troops. They carried Villersexel, which was the key to the enemy's position, with shouts oflong live France and the Republic.

any attempt of any foreign

government to possess it. Mr. Yates, of Illinois, said that If hehad time he would demonstrate that the Senator from Missouri was in opposition to the glorious history of our free institutions.

It was

at war with progress, civ

ilization and freedom. He undertook further to s"*.y that the Senator had not made any argument against the annexation of Dominica which had not been heretofore made the extension of human liberty in ihefibulh,—

Mr. Wilson, of Mass., said at 4: o'clock tluy ^ould vote. He wished •imply, to »tate he regretted very much (bat ques-

tion had come before them at all, but as it was here it was to be met. Mr. Morton said the resolution without the proposed amendment of Mr. Sumner embraced the form of inquiry.

The Vice President announced that the hour of four ha.d arrived, when Mr. Sumner said there a are number of Senators, who desired to speak. He therefore thought there should be a postponement of the time of taking the vote. Considering the magnitude of the question and the interest which existed throughout the country, he thought it duly proper and just that there should be more time for discussion. He suggested to-morrow at 4 o'clock.

The Vice President stated that postponement would require unanimous consent, when Mr. Conkling and others objected.

The Senate then voted on and rejected the amendment of Mr. Saulsberry. The Senate then voted on Mr. Sumner's amendment instructing the commissioners to inquire into alleged pendency of civil war. The amendment was rejected.

Mr. Sumner proposed a number of amendments, all of which were rejected The House amendment providing that the appointment of a commission shall not commit Congress for or against annexation, was then concurred in unanimously— ayes, 57 nays, none. The resolution accordingly goes to the President

At 5 o'clock the Senate adjourned. House.

Mr. Keilsey reported a diplomatic and consular appropriation bill, which was made the special order for Friday next. The bill appropriates $1,4-38,347.

Mr. Degener introduced a bill for the better protection of the frontier of Texas referred.

Mr. Wilson, of Ohio, from the Committee on Agriculture, reported a bill to procure and disseminate information as to the extent of cereal crops in other countries, requiring such information to be furnished by the United States Consuls passed.

Mr. Wilson also reported a bill to prevent cruelty to animals while in transit by railroad or other means of transportation, forbidding them to be confined in railroad cars longer than 28 consecutive hours without unloading, and give the cattle rest, water and feeding for at least five consecutive hours, except as prevented by contingencies. He explained that the bill did not apply to steamboats where arrangements were made to feed and water cattle.

Mr. Eldridge thought the bill repugnant, and some discussion ensued. On a vote by tellers there were only 104 members voting, which lacked 14 of a quorum. In the second vote by tellers the vote was siill less, many members being probably attracted to the Senate chamber by the debate. A motion to adjourn was then made, and pending the vote on it by yeas and nays, the Speaker laid before the1 House a telegram from Gov. Greary, announcing the death of John Covode.

On motion of Mr. Kelley, from Pennsylvania, a committee of eight members was ordered to attend the funeral obsequies of Mr. Covode.

The House refused to adjourn, and the previous question was seconded. Mr. Eldridge moved to lay on the table and called for the ayes and nays.

The morning hour expired and the bill We^lt OA^r UJl JtQ-X" nrxnw ^, Committee on Mr. Brooks' investigation as follow: Bingham, Poland, Kerr, Beaman and Brigg.

Mr. Dawes moved to go into a Committee of the Whole on the Appropriation bill.

Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts urged the Amnesty bill, but the Speaker stated there were two special orders which had precedence.

The House then went into Committee of the Whole, Mr. Scofield in the chair, and took up the bill making an additional appropriation Of $200,000 for the Louisville & Portland Canal, for the current fiscal year.

Mr. Washburne, of Wisconsin, moved an amendment appropriating $41,000 for completion of section work at Des Moines Rapids, and explained the necessity for it.

Mr. Calkin moved an amendment appropriating $50,000 for improvement of the navigation of Hell Gate, New York harbor rejected.

Finally a vote was taken and an amendment appropriating three hundred and forty-one thousand dollars for the Des }Ioines Rapids was agreed to, and the bill laid aside to be reported to the House.

The committee then took up the legislative, executive and judicial appropriotion bill, resuming its consideration where it had been left off. A discussion sprung up on the proviso repealing the existiug law, wiiich permits the public printers to furnish at cost price extra copies of all Congressional documents.

Mr. Jenckes moved to amend the law by requiring payment of ten per cent, over the cost of printing. Adopted.

The House without making further progress with the bill before the committee rose, passed the bill making appropriations for the Louisville & Portland Canal

and

Des Moines Rapids.

Mr. Stevenson represented that the petition of 600 citizens, business men and firms of Cincinnati protested againstconstruction of the Newport and Cincinnati bridge over the Ohio river on the present plan, and praying its modification to conform to the recommendation of the board of engineers.

THE scene in the Senate was different. There was not much of a majority either way, though a Republican one, counting Hughes. Never hoping to be in any place again in his natural life where he could produce a sensation, he determined to make as much of his few remaining days as possible. Hughes is smart. He knows that fire burns, and he always uses sopie cat to draw his chefitouts out. He is opposed to fire, himself. In this case he induced Seuator Henderson, of Morgan, to introduce a paper called a protest, to prevent the swearing in of Mr. Burson, of Delaware. No body ever heard of such a paper preventing the swearing ih ofVinetnoeV, Jnly atfstverea Hughes' purposes all the better.

YOL. 1. TERRE HAUTE, IND.. THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 12 187K NO. 191.

THE New York Sun says: "Last Satur day night, Mr. Tiers, the local preacher and chief exhorter of the Mocapin Methodist Church, about eight miles from Paterson, N. J., after giving the benediction, walked out with the rest, and at the door was met by a young man named Pulis, who was wishing everybody a 'Happy New Year.' Tiers is over 0 years of age, and his wife still blooms in her teens, and the greeting was so distasteful that he and his son declared they would 'slap the chops of Pulis.' Subsequently the old man leaped from his carriage" and made for Pulis to fight him, and when a lady told him it was shameful after coming out of watch-meeting, and on a Sunday morning, he called her 'an old lubber head.' and sailed in, but was prevented from fighting by the members of the church. He makes a fervent prayer, and is a first-class exhorter, but has three times started a fight after coming out of church.
