Washington, Feb. 14. Mr. Mitchell pre
sented a memorial of the Legislature of
I'ennsylraaia, urging reimbar;etnent by tue
Vnited States to the State of Pennsylvania
of all aurus expended in defease of the
"United fc:ate3. Referred.
Mr. Hale, from the Committee on ApprD-
jiriatioris. reported the Agri'jultur.tl Appro
priation bill, with amend.xf ntf-. He saii
the Senate CyminltUe docket uo clear,
this being the last eppruriatioa Dill sent
over by the Horje.
The bill was pUcedon the calendar.
TLe bill to qaiet titles to Des Moines rarer
settlers waj then placed Wore the Senate,
and Mr. Lapham continued his speech
gainst it.
At 1 o'clock the matter went over till
Alonday, Mr. Lapham still having the floor,
' The Indian Appropriation bill was then
laXtn up. A number of th9 Senate Coai
aalttee's amendments having been agreed tot
30 me discussion arose as to the proposed
amendment of the committee which would
3triie ont clause i of.the Honse bill involving
UTitral Jfgi&Iaiion. The special clause on
'which point w&3 raised wai oaa aatborizing
the Secretary cf the Interior, viih tha on
ent cf ibe Indians, to extead the tim of
lajxne&t for lands formt::; a pirt of tha
oruaca Itervation, author zed by act of
Ar. -net, l$i2, to bo sold.
Mr. Manderson siid the clau?e wai j tut
bü it could cot be wronc to d) jastice.
Mr. 1'lnmb said if the House iteais were to
1 1-carefully examined, why should not the
hiiate iteLcs be also investigated? Ji ex
tiü', nation c! all was mai!e, an extra sc-sjioa
cf Con?re33 ould be necesjary, a.id the
committee could not undertake to risk that,
vn If the Senate were not what it is.
Mr. Davres was opposed to stl legislative
I reposition in appropriation bit's.
Mr. Van "Wyck said: Session after Fe3!oa
e&re denying justice to oar citizens be
cause of rule of the Senate. It would b3
u little more sensible to lix our ral83 S3 that
tone legislation cocl J be had. Tue Senate
had in the Pension bill tried to do justice,
Lot withstanding a Senate rule. There was
very little equity in the provision under
consideration.
Considerable discussion ensued, in which
the House provisions for payment of claims
tor Indian depredations formed a leading
feature. There was some diversity of
opinion as to whether payment of those
cla ms should be made out of moneys held
forsuppoit of the Indians resulting from
3&Ie of Indian lands or out of the Treasury.
The question of proving the validity of
claims also came under consideration.
Mr. Dawes eaid there were $7,000.000 or
$:,ec0,(-oo of these cioims lying in tie In
ttner Department; the claimants were ap
parently convinced of the justice of their
claims, and it was a reproach to the Govern
loent that they tad not been taken up and
disposed cL The claims were so larse and
the funds from which, under the Indian
treaties, they were to be paid, sd small, thai
we had shrunk from disposing of thera. An
tcd ahouli be made of them, but should be
njanecd. If the Indian faad wi not
ncngh to pay the claims, we should settle
the question whether they should be paid
from the general Treasury. Hat. in Mr.
Dawes' opinion, we ihould not pick out a
lew o! those claims Lud put them in appro
priation bills, merely because the owners of
h.se claims had strong friends, who were
willir to ure them.
Mr. Coke described the suft'rinqs cau3d
v the depreciatlcna end hardships iaipoied
on white settlers, who were not permitted to
ui:ow the Indians and recover stolen
property, because the robber3 were the
wards of the Nation." Atone tims 1C.000
horses and mules, stolen from Texas, were in
keeping of the Indians. Claim? that had
been inyestieated and proved twenty years
aeo, were still unpaid. Mr. Coke regarded
this as a great injustice.
Mr. Miller, of California, thought we oa?ht
to do justice to the claims contained in the
bill, and not let the rule of the Senate stand
between a citizen and justice.
Mr. Maxey believed wa ehould not post
pone the claims that were before us simply
fcer ai:s other claims were not presented.
Mr. Cockrell was in favor of making all
these claiius a charge on the Ind aiFund.
The Indians should be ma ie t.i piy every
dollar of damages resulting from depreda-
tfOL.
At the close of the dicairon Mr. Dawes
succeeded in getting the iSjnat to agree to
the committee amendment striking oat tho
legislative item indicated.
Heading of trie bill then proceeded, and
n reachin? the section providing for the
A!9iniboines, Mr. Vest moved to incree
1 heir appropriation from $30.000 to $30,000.
lie drew a mo?t pathetic picture of hi3 per
s nal observations of the sufferings of that
tr.be in a bleak, mhoepitabie region of caua
t:v. Yhen the Indians were dying by hua
drrde of absolute starvation Mr. Vet had
personal'? appealed to Commissioner Pr:c,
cf the Indian Bureau, for eome rations to
kff p life in them, but that gautleman can'.d
enly reply that he had "no funis." The
soldiers of the United States, to their honor
it should be said, saved many lives among
thops starving people by voluntarily giving
cp their own rations.
Without action on Mr. Vest's motion the
5nite went into executive session and soon
adjourned.

When the House met this morning in con
t'neatien cf Friday's session Mr. Willis
moved that the House go fato Committee of
the Whole on tbe Iliverand Harbor bill,
end pending that moved that all debits be
limited to one hour and a half.
Mr. Turner, of Georgia, riling to a point of
crder, said when the gentleman made the
latter motion yesterday the point was made
that this was not In order. The point had
been overruled, an appeal taken, and motion
made to ley the appeal on the table. An
couccement had been made that on this
motion the yeaa had it; whereas it appeirsl
from the Record tills morning that the vote
itccd yeas 07, navs
The Speaker pro tern. (Mr. Blackburn)
ftated that the Record wm in error; the
journal, which was the olhcia! ora of the
House, fcbonred that the appeal had been laid
on the table by a vote of jeas 121, nays 101.

ordered fcr to-night, for consideration of
the Legislative Appropriation bill.
The regular order having been dmanded,
the Speaker announced the regular order to
he consideration of pension bills coming
over from last night's session.
Mr. Wilis said it was clear that it was the
intention cf the House yesterday to devote
this morning' Eeeslon to consideration of
the IUveiand Harbor bill, and assed unani
mous conEent that the regular order be dis
pemed with, but Mr. Heed objected.
The first bill comine over was one grant
irg a pension cf ?2,0 pr annum totha
widow of General Geonrj IL Thomas, and
alter ti( b'e it was pied -veaj M.'i, neya 52.
Mr. Wilils thsn renewed his motion, and
Mr. Heed made the point that tao Po&toßice
Appropriation bill mu?t be considered, the
previous question having been ordered
utcn it
The Speaker overruled the point on the
pround that it was understood tint the
bill should not came up until after the read
ing of Friday's journal, and held th't this
n orning n reofiion was but a pro:oug;ion ot
isst night's session. 1
Mr. Kelly then made a point of or.?er that J

Afttr half an lour consumed by the
ti f&ktr in ruling upoa tue points of order,

desvcjing, rather unsuccessfully, to suppress !

qnestipu recnrifd on Mr. W illis' motion to
limit dfcfcat" on tho pending section of tha
Ilivor and Harbor bill to one hour anda

hour." d a half allowed for aebata should
be dii . lbutfd, and no arrangement wai ar
rived .-.t, and poster of recognition vtüj left
entirfiy with the Chair.
Mr. t urner, of Geoniia. raioed a point cf
order r.gainst the Iler.cep;a Ca aal paragraph.
He cciittndtd that in reporting this cUuaa
to tLe House the Committee on Ilivors and
Haibors had exceeded its jurisdiction and
irfrirgfd upon jurisdiction cf the Commit
tre on Railways and Canal3. The Heantpin
Cpnal cituse wai no more germane to tiis
till than would ba a pro;ocitioa io cjn
ttruct an elevated railroad frora ocean to
cctancrtodig the Xicaraguau Canal. It
t.to clashed with the rulee in that ttchang&d
ti e existing law and was not in the direc
tion of retienchment of eipeudlture.
Mr. Henderson, of Illinois, argued that it
tbcre wes any force at all in the objection
that the Committee on Rivtrs and Harbr.rs
had do jurisdiction over the subject, that
objection wa3 waived by the Hou?e when it
referred the bill to the Committee cf tha
Whole.
Tbcre was not a canal in the country
which had been constructed by the General
Government that hail not been provided for
by the River and Harbor bill. This very
point had b3en overruled last passion by the
Ccairman of the Committee cf the Whole
(Mr. Wellborn), on the express ground that
references of the bill to the committee wa3
a waiver of any objection which might be
raised to the jurisdiction of the Committee
on Rivers and Harbors.
Mr. Gates said that th9 decision had been
taved cn the fact that at the time of refer
ence the point3 ct crder had not been re
served a.Phinst the bill, which was not the
cose with the present bill.
Mr. Murphy orgusd that the Committee
cn Rivers and Harbors had proper jurisdic
tion over the subject, he himself having re
ferred numerous petitions asking for this
legislation to that committee. Jf the Hen
nepin Canal was an improvemerU in the in
Umt cf commerce, It wa entitled to leiti
n tte consideration at the hand3 cf the
committee.
Alter icrther debate the Chair reserved
decision on the point of order for the pres
ent. "be committee then ro93. The vote by
which it was ordored that the PostoClce
Appropriation bill thoald not be considered
until efier reeding of tho journal on Friday
u:t JeccEsidered, and the bill wai tacenup
uiider operation of the previous question.
The tirät amendment on which separate
cta wes demanded was that increasing
from ?1.1CO,000 to $i.53ö,00O the appropria
tion for the letter-carrier service. Agreed to
yeas. 151; cave, W. The amendment in
crtRptng by '0,0M) the appropriation for
the Star route service waa agreed to yeas,
lf "; nays, 91.
The next amendment was that striking
out the clause granting additional compen
sation to American steamships for carrying
mails. It was agreed to yeas, 120; uavs, 113.
Other amendments were agreed without
(Mv;slcn and the bill was passed. Mr. Bing
hfm oti't red a resolution, which was appro
priately referred, reciting that sundry nssvs
papers published notices during the summer
cf ct ncernirg alleged frauds in the sup
ply of cllicial envelopes for the PostofJce De
jartment. and reo,netiu the Postmmer
Uerfral to cemmumcata to the Commit'ee

with tapers or copi3 thenof, cinnscted
with the annulment in Aopust, 18SI, of thy
ccritrart with T. P. Kellogg it Co., of Spring
f frld, Mass., for supplying oilicial enveloped;
fihoto inform the committee whether en
velopes inferior to requirements were
fnrntsi.'ed under that contract; whether any
cllicer of the Government was in fault, and
what action the Postmaster General his
taken to protect the interests of tha Govern
mei t.
The Honse thn resumed coasider.Atiou of
tbe River ard Harbor bill in commite of
tbe whole, and after an uninteresting ive
minute debate for one hour, rose, aud the
Heme went into committee cf the who e,
Mr. McMillin in the Chairroa the Legisla
tive Appropriation bill. There was no gen
eral debate, and the bill was immediately
read by paragraphs tor amendments.
Mr. Gibson moved to strike out the clause
which prohibits removal of House messen
gers cn the soldiers' roll, except for cause
stated. He did so, he said, for the reason
that he as opposed to making a privileged
class of cilice-holders.-
There were good Democratic soldiers who
could fill the positions acceptably, and he
ccnld see no reason why Republicans should
be foisted into positions under a Democratic
Adminitt'aticn.
Mr. Holman oppos?d the motion. No
man, Republican or Democrat, should be
t.rmitted to leave th8 solcierä' roll with nil
consent.
Mr. Cannon thought the provision in the
bill was necsssary, und he would vote to re
tain it
Tfce amendment was ruled out on point of
cicer.
Mr. White, of Kentucky, moved to strike
out the paragraph fcr expense? of oflice of
tfce Commissioner cf Internal Revenue, aai
criticised the iecsnt act'on of ths SecreUry
cf the Treasury in extending the bonded
1 ericd in violation of law and in the face of
the refusal ot Corcre?3 to legalize eucu ex
tfction. Without disputing of tha motion
tbe commit: e ruse nd the House took a re
ceis until Monday at 10 a. m., having dU

Right hzro Tet the committee express their
thank3 for the courtesies at the bauds of the
eCQcers of the J., M. and I. 11. Ii. and their
iplendid manr.geL.ent. We were soon trans
ferred from the cold, icy regions of Indianap
olis to the warm and balmy atmosphere of
Lcuisville, where the committee had made
Brranjements to stop, owing to the inconve
nience to hotels at JefTersonville. T.oe hotel
at Louisville is a hostelry of which tha city
may well feel proud, and once under th?.
hospitable roof the cj:amitt?e met genuine

Jordan but the Ohio) to Jetfersouviile,
7 here the cars stop er.ly a few Etep3 from
the prison. When the prison doors closed
urcn them at fcr&t the sensation waa rather
pe culiar, but in looking around we saw so
n r.r.y lamiliar faces our hearts became clm.
Aicorg th03 we saw was Hon. H. P. Shaf
Lr, who took much pleasure in escorting
li e party around, especially the ladies, who
appreciated his kind attention. There was
al30 cur old friend Major Finney. Al

vtf.sso e.itreiv?ly enteiiainiug. Every sec

McOlure, eon cf the Senator, -jrho is very
much tliCTjßht cf by the convicts. He is
t?ntle and; kir:d in his manner toward theas
poor utfertunate o::e3 in hta care. Lie 13
mct undoubtedly entitled loa hher s??.t,
and we hope he will yet ba surgeon of this
prison. Thcra ara now coahnsd in ths hos
pital four sick with consumption. on8 or two
eoou to die. Tbe hospital is iu a fearful
pJ8ce; the noise from tho machine shop?,
the heat from the boilers and washrooms
are stifiicg, and with all th care possi
ble can i.ct render their Bufferings leso.
These that are thera now in th&ir desolate
home are not devoid cf hoarts or insensible
to feeling. They have a soul ta save. Lifa
is sweet evtu to the greatest criminal.
Charity i3 needed here as well and mors
really than in places nearer tha capitit.
Why can not the Legislature contribute
money here, and saon ? ThU i3 a benevolent
institution, ar.d one that should be attended
toatorca. There is r.ecd of more shoes.
Just think of nearly ;0O men in
thee ehops. They cover now roven
acres, acd turn out C50 pairs J)f
boots and thecs daily, and yet how mi'y
mere can supply the demands of the out
side world if the chance wai cnly given.
The work cons in the machine shopj 13 very
fine, aud the men scc-m contented, and work
with an 8 im. New walls around the prisD.n
are badly needed. It is a great temptation
to e?C3poas they ere now. This is eu old,
old prison. Tbe walls are shattering, and
if a severe wind storm should com m m'ght
be t rotable during the month of March, and
cn the river, too, where they could hive full
sway, away coes bsnda;; and porhap?, too,
for all. Tue convicts complain very little
of their Ireatment. They coo d not say o her
wise, for their Koks would de&y it. und the
marapers couid do no more. The most
touching sight i?t -sve them eating, 63 or
derly as can be. Then you can watch th?ir
countecancts, and how neatly their hair
;nd whisiers wer8 combed. No ;haved
heeds arccng them as one hes been taught
to believe, acd many exceedingly handeorae
ard cf lino build. For r&tions they daily
ccESume CC0 pounds of meat, eight bushels
potatoes, seventy-five loaves of bread and
1C0 pallcns of beans, and, by the way, we
indrjpfd in their lunch, and we foun'd the
eoup just delicious. Tha men return to
their cells at 4 p. ia aud remain until
mcrnir g The meat is very tender in qual
ity, ano they are given a pretty good allow
ance. Their bill of fare for dinner wai eoup,
ccrnbrced, splendid meat, beet3 and pota
toes; if tbey could not eat all at taole they
were allowed to carry away, as their worK
scmetimee ca'kd for" it sooner or later.
Their clothing, striped according to cus

tbey were much clraner than a groat many
I have seen in Indianapolis. Captain How
ard's Conpin has had charge of the dress
making, washing and drying department I
believe, fcr ttn years. Thi3 depirtment i3 a
wonder in it-elf. The en cine-room is the neat
est cf all. as there was nothing but the
t-rpice ard the colored man that keeps the
trsgine in order; and he just prides himself
on having it polished until it glistens, and
the floor is clean and nics as one could wish.
De is a life convict killed his wife, ha sajs.
He has learned a sad lesion, by experience;
iut it comes too late. There is a sad case of
father and son. They are Jews, from Rush
County, and formerly of good standing; but
in an evil hour committed murder, and are
now servins life Bentercss. The eon says he
wocld wi'licgly exchange places with hia
father. One man. who b.33 been confined for
eighteen years, has appealed in vain to
Governor Porter. His mind is affected very
much. There ara four lunatics, but they
ran be managed by their careful watchmen.
The chapel needs considerable attention. The
walls we not plaatered and it Is a cold, chser
lees place for the words of God. to be uttered.
Nearly all the convicts attend at their
own discretion. There is an organ, and as
they are of a musical turn, it has an agree
able effect on them. It ought to be a haven
of Test. It sr ems iuore like a barn very
difficult to rrst the voice cn those trying to
preach cr hsr. The library is well cared
for, but there is great need of books; indeed,
r literature of every kind that will be pro-
ductire of g:od. Many of the meu have
considerable intellect, and from their eelec
tiens you can soon tell the drift cf their
knowledge. Tfcis is a eource of great enjoy
ment, and their great desire i for more
bcoks. The librarian is n eld lffe convict,
whese name ia Martin. Yst so kind and at
tentive to your want we can scarcely reilize
the situation, and we hope ye: he may
breathe hia last out in God'a. own beautiful
wnrld.
I Rev L. F. Cain is a man well fittel f jt his

in tbe completion of the chapel, his heart is
there and his work is to instruct these men

Fcr all the other roacas;er3 and gaards we

ith ether counties in that Congressional
Distr'ct even must strengthen Fayette's
j. csentclhims. Thus Rande ipri bounty has
tl c present Governor, Delav'-re County has
commissioner of one of he State instiiu
1'ons. Henry County furnished a present
Trustee of tin Knightstown House, Wayne

Adjutant General, Ru6h has a Representa

"relieve that the Democracy of no other
county in the State bas such a history of un
hided and unrewarded struggle, and we
have an abiding faith that the facts, when
known, must tell in favor of the name now
presented by the Democracy of Fayette,
