TEBRE-HAUTE-INDIANA, JANUARY 20,1869.

Chronicle's Washing

ton special indicates that the Senate will probtbly concur in the repeal of the Tenure-of Office bill, near the close of the session. Previous speculations estimated eleven majority against the repeal, on a full vote of the Senate. We still hope that the Senate will non-concur in the House resolution and that Congress will either let the Tenure-of-Offico act alone, or content itself with a few slight amendments

THE bill presented by Senator SHERMAN for retiring superannuated Judges of the Supreme Court provides that they may retire at their option on full psy, after reaching the age of seventy years. This bill will no doubt supersede that of Mr. WILSON, which makes the retiretirement peremptory. Having been appointed for life, it is held by Mr. SHERMAN that a judge can not be removed, and can only ceaae to discharge his func^ tions by his own volition.

ANOTHER huge real estate and cash operation is before the Senate io tbe shape of a railroad bill which modestly asks only twensy sections of land to the mile on each Bide, and $70,000 of cash per mile for most of the distance between Fulton, Arkansas, and San Francisco, with two considerable branches. Twenty sections per milewould'be all tbe land through a strip of forty miles wide, twothirds of the way across the continent— and all to a single corporation 1 If alternate sections are to be taken, tbe donation would cover a strip eighty miles wide I

THOSE very emotional gentlemen, the Washington correspondents, are already beginning to write up "General GRANT'S inauguration." This will, of course, take place on the 4th of Marcb, 1869, and it is proposed to have the Great Event consummated in the Capitol Building Heretofore the Inauguration has bean an extensive Job and an equally extensive Failure. The hall has been poor, the accommodationg poor, the crowd immense, and the distress in proportion Money has been made out of everything, while nobody has had any comfort. It is»now proposed to make "a new deal"—to bare an Inauguration worthy of the beginning of the new regime—worthy of the Great Soldier, and of his policy of Republican Restoration. Senator MORGAN of the National Republican Committee, General SCHKNCK, of the CongressionHl Republican Committee, Mayor BOWKN, and other equally well known Republicans, have taken hold, and the prospect is that there will be a celebration worthy of tbe country.

Correspondents and others of the festive sort are afflicted that there should bo serious opposition to allowing the Capitol to be used for such a purpose, but they console themselves with the reflection that such opposition "must give way to necessity and reason." Their minds dwell in ectstatic delight on the "unexampled splendor 'of the ball in tbe magnificent Rotunda with which the day's festivities are to be closed. The Vice President elect, in presence of tbe President, elect, is sworn in in tbe Senate chamber, and then the latter proceeds to the eastern portico, where, in tho face of tho American people, be is sworn in by the Chi«f Justice. It would seem to be quite appropriate, therefore, that the evening display should come off un-ler the same magnificent roof. The affair is in good hands, and wherever it is held it will be conducted in accordance with the grandeur of the Republic and the significance of tbe event. It is well known that the Great Hall of Westminster in London is frequently set apart for etata ceremonies Why, with equal propriety, should nut our noblest edifice be reserved for the inauguration of a President who saved his country

PARSON BROWNLOW, in his valedictory on retiring from the editorial chair and proprietorship of tbe Knoxville Whig, a few days ago, indulged in an extravagant vein of selr laudation. For example, ha declared that he found in his editorial career "no word or act ihav he would have erased or undone

Since then it has been rnk«d up against him,that he said in bis papor of April 13, 1861, the following words: "Every well-informed citizen of the United States knows that Northern villains have encroached upon the rights of the South, little by little, for a quarter of a century they have added insult to in jury, enacted infamous Personal-Liberty Laws, encouraged slaves to run a**ay and sought to bring on a collision be-* tweeen tbe North and tbe South that would result in a dissolution of the Union!' "If the eccentric, pugnacious Parson can face those words and not wish them "erased"' he is unworthy of tbe respect of Northern men. If he is not ashamed of many things he has said against the people of the North, he has been a most unworthy recipient of Northern sympathy. Even the type and press with which his boastful leave-taking was printed, were bought by funds contributed by the men whom, for many years, it was his chief business to malign. If be had not suffered some progress on the foregoing sentiment, we imagine he would hardly have got to be Governor of tabid Tennessee. It is best not to throw loo egotistical stones from a glass boose, 'sod PARSON BROWNLOW's house is one of the mosfvitreous sort imaginable.

OUR report of Congressional proceedings, published Thursday, the following paragraph occurs: "Mr. Morton introduoed bill giving a pension to Mrs. Lincoln from the date of tbe death of her husband, tbe lote Pre6identof tbe United States."

There is not a single reason' under Heaven why Mrs. MART LINCOLN should have so much as a nickel from the Treasury of tbo United States. She doesn' deserve such consideration, we have no money to spare for such a purpose, anl if we bad, it would be establishing bad precedent to grant the proposed pen sion. There are thousands of soldiers' widows infinitely more deserving and vastly' more needy than la Mrs. LINCOLN.

In connection with this pension busi nesB, we beg leave to commend to our honored Senator's perusal tbe following sensible and timely languga from his homo organ, tbe Indianapolis Journal: "We believe Congress should vote down every application for aid from the Treasury, let the applicant be what it may. If half the projects now clamoring at our door be granted but half of all they ask, we shall have no surplus to apply on our debt, and can attempt no reduction of taxes. For onoe in our history the people art more disposed to watch Treasury disbursements than any other operations ofthe Government, and members who vote subsidies and guarantees, right and left, may make up their minds to flghtjthe.most uphill contest for renomination that any set of men ever ?£, Thby m&y axpect to have explanations to make at every step, and even party fealty will not save those who have been conspicuous sinners against economy. If popularity be a desirable thing, tbe wisest course any Congressman can lake, will be to distinguish himself by opposition to heavy expenditures, and by zeal in track iog down the shameful waste in many directions which is apt to be accepted for bo better reason than that it is the prac tice. Economy is to be the prince of public virtues for the next few years, and those who recognize its supremacy earliest, and exhibit their allegiance most devotedly, will find 'it pay.'" "That tells the whole story." The people mean to have economy, and they will have it. Mrs. MART LINCOLN bas already had much more than her just deserts, much more than many honest persons would have accepted under tbe circumstances. We can show Senator MORTON a hundred women ir. this cjty who?e claims upon the government for material *tid are as much greater than any Mrs LINCOLN can present, as tbe Rocky Mountains are higher than Arlington Heights.

SXHATX.—Petitions were received from citizens of LaFayette against the repeal of the gravel road law. And for a prison for women and reformatory for girls.

supposed this nonsense would subside after the Presidential election, but it seems that for some unknown and mysterious purpose, Blair continues his slanders. It is well that the true character of the great defeated should thus become so thoroughly known to his fellow countrymen, and that the snappishness displayed so often in local contests in this city, should be revealed in such a grotesque manner before tho nation. Wacan imagine no more sublime a spectacle than the serene complacency with which Gen. Grant looks down upon such ravings as these reported of Blair. The dog may bay the moon, but it is tbe moon still, in all its serene grandeur, totally unconscious of all the yelping curs in the universe.— St. Louia Democrat

THE Enquirer'» indorsement of Mr. Butler's scheme to make the government a bank of loans to tbe bondholders is a pleasing exhibition of tbe financial principles that govern the Democratic mind. From trying to make the bondholders odious, and to take away their bonds by forcing upon them a kiting currency, the Enquirer turns to a scheme for making them a privileged class of borrowers of money from the government They are to have their gold bonds held for them, to be returned on call,and are to be enabled to borrow currency on tham to tbo amount of 90 per cent of their face, ct tha rate oi 3.60 per cent interest Thus banks or individuals shall be supplied by the government with currency cn all tho bonds that may deposit, at 3.60 per cent intereat, which they can lend to the people who have no bonds to put cp at 10 or 12 per cent, or whatever rate they have a mind to ox tort. Tbis is the Democratic hatred of bondholders.—Cin. Gasette.

The Baker-Cumback Correspondence

[Envelops marked "Private."] QMiKSBcaalirD., January ft, 1808. GOVERNOR BAKER: DEAR FRIEND—If I had not a thousand things to demand my attention this week, I would oome up and see you. I will, therefore, venture to make this suggestion: I think Hendricks will be chosen by the Democrats, and he will oertainly (if he intends to inspire hope of success among his friends,) resign his position. The person appointed by you will, other things being equal, stand the best chance to be chosen by our Legislature. If you will assure me of the appointment, I will withdraw from the contest for any position on the State ticket, and take the position of Elector at our State Convention. If this proposition does not meet with your approbation, please return tbis letter to me. Let me have your reply at an early day. I do most earnestly hope for the unity of the Republican party.

I am, as ever, your friend, WILLCUMBACK.

INDIANAPOLIS, February 22, 1868. Hon. Will Cumbaek, Gretnaburg, Indiana SIR: Your communication of yesterday is before me. In reply I beg leave to say that the relations of the parties alluded to, are not such, in my judgment, as to prevent either of tbem from doing bis wbolo duty to the publio in the position assigned him. If the matter proposed to be explained is believed to be susceptible of explanation, the explanation should be mado without the conditions suggested.— For such a purpose opportunity will be offered if desired. The return of the one paper, and the withdrawal of the other could not change the facts, but would be pregnant with an implication that the party who really thinks he did no wrong had changed his opinion.

From the Indian Territory.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 16.—General Sherman has received the following dispatch: IN THE FIELD, FORT COBB, }

INDIAN TERRITORY, Jan 1, 1869. }

GENERAL: The destruction of the Comanche village by Col. Evans gave the final blow to the backbone of the Indian rebellion.

At twelve o'clock on the night of the 2lst of December a delegation of the chief men of the Cheyennes and Arapa-

hoes, twenty-one in number, arrived at this place on foot, their animals not being

able to bring them in. They said they ruled the village, begged for peace and permission for their people to come in, asking no terms but only for a paper to protect them from the operations of our troops while en route. They report the tribes in mourning for their losses, their people starving, their ponies dying, their dogs all eaten up and no buffalo.

We had forced them into the canons of the eastern edge of the staked plains, where there is no small game or buffalo. They are in a bad fix and desire to surrender unconditionally. I accede to their terms, and will punish them justly, and I can scarcely make an error in any punishment awarded, for they all have blood upon their hands.

Yesterday we received a few papers, the first for a month, and I see it alleged by Indian agents that Black Kettle's band were on their reservation at the time they were attacked.

This is a falsehood. The reservation extends but thirty miles up the Washita from Fort Cobb. The battle took place 120 miles up that stream from here. It is also alleged the band was friendly.— No ono could make such an assertion who had any regard for truth. The young men of this band commenced the war. I can give their names. Some of Black Kettle's young men were out depredating at Fort Dodge when the village was wiped out. Mules taken from trains, mail matter carried by our murdered couriers, photographs stolen from the scenes of outrages on the Solomon and Saline rivers in Kansas, were found in the captured camp. And in addition I have their own illustrated history found in their captured camp, showing the different fights or murders this tribe were engaged in, the trains attacked, the hay parties attacked about Fort Wallace, and the women, citizens and soldiers killed.

It is at the service of any one desiring information on the subject. It should be known also that I invited Black Kettle and his family to come in, through the Arapahoes chief, Little Raven, in my interview with that chief at Fort Dodge, in September last. They did not come.

Yours, respectfully, P. H. SHERIDAN. Maj. Gen. Commanding.

INDIAN COUNCIL.

RECAPTURED.
