on Montfay with more prisoners far Jeffersonville. And, by the way, we see it announced tliat the gallant Colonel is a cand tie for Warden of that prison. The simple announcement of his name for that piaee, should secure his election, lie is in every way fitted and competent for the position. Would make a Mrst-rate and honest oCieer, and one wiio could not in any way be overreached by any of the personsconnected with that inxtitution. Col.

who, when
some superior oUicer less courageous than himself proposed to surrender hicomniaiid to the enemy, aroe in hi.--stirrups, and with llishiug eye and drawn saber, said, "J'oys, you who want to be surrendered stay where you are, but you who do not, follow me," and placing himself at the head of his regiment, he gave the command, "forward," and with one diishing advance followed by all of his men, be cut his way through the enemy and saved his command.
For this act ahme, he should be made Warden or anything else in the gift of his

'''PitK ir.ve.su-.Mt ion ot the cinrses of cr»rriiMtion gainst lii'e Commissioner of Indian All'iirs, has been postponed until Tuesdiiv nexi. (ioneral Blunt, in his tes|tanee timony*before the committee, stated that ono of the ^reat troubles in obtaining appropriations for the Imlims wa that nearly every mentiser ot Congress who voius
for
appropriations, expects and de
mands liberal compensation, which is usually paid, and in order to accomplish this so'm. sharp practice has to be resorted to."
The above is a special telegram from Washington to the Cincinnati Commercail. If it is true, Congress ou^htto be driven out of Wa-diin.^ton. Ir it is not true, such adispatch ought never to have been «ent over the wire-. From what we know of this Congress, and its acts, we are inclined to the belief, that it is true. Congressmen "demand liberal compensation" for their votes, says Gen.Biunt. Is not this declaration a startling fine? When corruption like this found its way into the It.xnan Senate, the decline and fall of that iron Empire was rapid. Congressmen "demand'1 compensation for lheir voles, .says a witness on the stand who is presumed, to know just how much is demanded and how much has been paid. If there is an honest man left in the National Congress now assembled at Washington, we conjure him by all the best interests of his country, to examine this matter to its very bottom, anil expose to the world the individuals who have thus acted. Separate the wheat from the chatt—if there is any wheal left.
Frank liiair.
General Frank Blair received 102 votes for Senator. Of these just twenty were cast by men elected as IJe[ub!icans— seventeen Brown and three McClurg men. Without these he would have received only 82 votes, and would have been defeated.
We cannot understand why these liepublicans voted for Blair, when by uniting they could have elected one of their own party. We know the disaffection in Misssouri among llepublicans, has been very great, but we had hoped, after the State election
was
over it would be reconciled.
But this does not seem to be the case. At Washington nothing is done to briny about a good understanding among the the leaders of the two faction--. Wehinz *ul Drake still stand in hostility to each other, and the bitterness of their feelingpermeates the disati'ected factions in the Missouri Legislature.
Blair will take liis seat in the Senate in a few days, and we opine will be a very troubles me member of that body.
GOVEKOU
liAici'jii, of Indiana, is receiv
ing rather indiscriminate praise from certain quarters tortile action wliien he lias taken in recommending a modification 01 the Indiana divorce laws. However we may be inclined to regard this movement in a moral way, it is not liKelv that the Indiana people will lind anything very patriotic in Governor Baker's recommendation, or will be inclined to adopt it. The main point of the reform seem.* to be in limiting the divorces to bona file rc.-ideuis of the rftate. It' this were (tone it would reduce Indiana to a third-rate power. It would be like taking wheat, and lumber, and hogs away from Chicago, or beer from Milwaukee. Indiana, now so promising and so prosperous, won lfl fall into a decline. The Indiana lawyer's occupation would be gone. The ju lgcs would speedily dr oil into tlie sere and yellow leaf, hastened by sorrow steeped in the llowing bowl. Indiana hotel property would ilood the market business would be suspended, and such pleasant little places as Indianapolis, jAirt Wayne, JLuKayctte and Suuth liend, to say nothing of tile innumerable county seals w+iere divorce is the only staple, would soon become as ancient, desolate, and forlorn as Pompeii or Hereulaneum. Toe other mudit'eatious—that of confining divorce jurisdiction to tiie high judges, and limiting the causes of separation—are evidently in the in the interests of monopoly, favoring a certain class of the judiciary, and those who are blessed with adventitious advantages in in the way of desertion, adultery, or being knocked down. Indianacan never alF.'rd to commit itself to this new policy.

Til Now York Evening Mail gives a few lines on the subject of short-hand reporting which are of snflicient importo be generally circulated. Some idea of the work of a short-hand reporter may be inferred from the fact that they write Irom 100 to 200 words per minute. By rule of one society, no person can become a member unless able to report 175 words per minute and read his notes readily and correctly. Some reporters are faster than this, but few are able to keep up this terrible rate any great length of time. On one occasion a gentleman reported a speech of 1 hour and 45 minutes. The speech was extemporaneous and contained 13,900 word--, spoken at the rate of 180 words per minute, although at times the speaker would talk at the rate of 225 per minute. Very few reporters in the world can do this, continuing their work without interruption lor so long a time. If set in type tiie same as ordinary editorial matter, i,he speech would make weariy fifteen and a half columns. One can judge from the above that to report correctly is no easy matter, and to report rapidly a, person has not much time for other business. About one student out of fifty who dare attempt this diilicuit science becomes an expert, and then only after severe study, long application and years of experience.
A DENIAL.—The
The way this matter of the engagement stands now, isonly a question of veracity, between two men, one of whom is a man who is in jail on a charge of burglary, and the other a man who runs a can-can, that is such a burlesque on the ieg-drama4 that it cannot be burlesqued any more.
And the manager also denies, in the same card in which lie made above denial, that the man who we reported as having been, was knocked down "at the Academy of Music." That information we received from one of tiie policemen who was there in a few minutes afterwards, and who says he will stand by the information lie gave as being correct.
The manager says they "sling a nasty quill" over there. We admit that, and assert further that every thing they sling is "nasty."

Mr. Sumner preseuted a c?nimunition from the National Labor Union Conven-
tion of colored men, to-day, lately in ession at Washington, for tiie passage of
and was then indefinitely postponed. Mr. Sumner asked leave to enter a motion to roconsider the postponement of tiie hill.
Mr. Hamilton, of Maryland, objected. Mr. Sumner subsequently ottered a supplementary rights act, substantially similar to his bill of hist session. Iteferred.
Mr. Chandler, from'the Committee on Commerce, reported the following bill adversely, which was indefinitely postponed, to constitute Leavenworth, Kansas, a port of delivery.
Mr. Fen ton introduced, by request, a bill directing the Postmaster General to contract with the North American Steamship Company, of New York, for the transportation of mails weekly between New York, Antwerp or Bremen, touching at Plymouth or Cherbourg, for a term of 15 years, at the rate of §15,000 per trip.

Mr. Wood presented a petition of merchants of New York in favor of the appointment of Commissioners to audit and pay the Alabama claims.
Mr. Starkweather reported a bill to authorize the removal of the Custom House
Mr./Sargent, rising to a personal explanation, sent to the Clerk's desk and had read a paragraph from the Washington Republican of to-day, stating that General Blunt, in his testimony before the Committee on Investigation of Indian Affairs, had stated that the greatest trouble in obtaining appropriations for Indians was, that nearly every member of Congress who voted for an appropriation expected and demanded liberal compensation, which "was usually paid. That in order to accomplish that, some sharp practice 'had to be resorted to. Mr. Sargent remarked that it was only necessary for him to say in reply to the infamous paragraph, that General Blunt had not testified before the Committee up to this time. The Committee had not been able to discover his whereabouts so as to serve a subpoena on him. The Committee made efforts continuously by telegraph and otherwise, and would thank newspaper editors and reporters to publish the fact tfiat the Committee desired the presence of General Blunt.
The House at 1:04 P. M., went into Committee of the Whole, Mr. Allison in the chair, and resumed the consider tion of the consular und diplomatic appropriation bill, the '|uestion being on Mr. Wood's motion to limitthe expendir tures of the secret service fund of the State Department, that none of it shall be used in connection with the annexation of Domingo.
The amendment offered by Mr. Wood was rejected, and without completing the bill, tiie Holise proceeded at 2 o'clock to consideration of business in the District of Columbia, in compliance with a standing order assigning the third Friday of each month, after 2 o'clock, to that business.
The Senate bill to provide for the government of the District of Columbia' was taken up and read, and the House proceeded to consider it by sections.
Mr. Ela moved an amendment to the second section, making the Governor an elective officer instead of beingappointed.
Mr. Ela's amendment was rejected by large majority. On motion of Mr. Cook the third section was amended by substituting for the words House of Representatives, the words "House of Delegates."
Mr. Cook moved to amend the fifth section by providing that the Council shall be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, five of those first appointed to be for a term of one year, und the other six for two years, and all subsequent appointments for two years.
Mr. Ela moved to make the members of the Council elective. He wanted the House to decide the question whether the people were or were not to have a voice in the election of one part of the Legislature.
Mr. Ela's amendment was rejected, and Mr. Cook's amendment was agreed to.
Mr. Julian moved to amend the sixth section, which gives the elective franchise to all male citizens of the United States, by striking out the word male. (Laughter.) He declared that he offered the ameudment in good faith, and desired a vote upon it by yeas and nays.
A vote was taken by yeas and nays and the amendment offered by Mr. Julian was rejected—yeas 5-5, nays 115.
There was much excitement and amusement in the House as members re--ponded to their names. Some votes in tne affirmative provoked much laughter, while the positive and decided tone with which others voted no brought down the House.
The House at five o'clock adjourned, the session to-morrow to be for debate onlv.

Paris to be Abandoned.
The plan attributed to Gen. Trochu, whether successful or not, may be taken as evidence of hi3 strategical ability. It is supposed that lie intends to convert Mont Valerien into a^ vast citadel, to which he may repair with the bulk of his effective forces whenever the extremities to which Paris is being rapidly rediced may render his position within the walls untenable._ Contrary to the opinion of sanguine patriots, ignorant of military masters, Gen. Trochu has always doubted that Paris could break through the lineof the investing army by her own unaided effort, ond when he seemed to j-ield to the impatience of the garrison and throw open the gates for a sally, it was always because he expected the immediate advance of some one of the provincial armies. But if Paris bus no longer a chance of lighting singlehanded, and if relief from the departments io too remote and uncertain, Gen. Trochu probably reasoned that a prolongation of the present state of things might involve the eventual necessity of a capitulation, which, notwithstanding his truly noble and gallant behavior throughout the siege, could not fail to raise against him all the obloquy which was lavished upon the unsuccessful commanders of Strasburg and Metz.^So far

Masters of the whole inner and outer lines of the city, the Germans would then engage in a conflict with Trochu's camp, which, whatever advantage it might confer upon either of the combatants, would inflict dreadful sufferings on the defenseless population or, even if the Germans, more considerate than the natural defenders of the city, were to limit their operations to a mere blockade of Mont Yaierien, they would soon be able to contract the long line with which they are now.encompassing the whole banlieue, and might thus be able to spare at least half their forces for other work besides that in which they are now employed.
