CoPPERHEADs.-A dispatch from Murfrees-
boro', Tenn, TO the New York Post, states
that meeting of officers of about all the In
diana regiments in General Rosecrans' army
was held on the 22d, and strong resolutions
adopted unanimously, denouncing the disloyal
course of the Butternuts of the Indiana Leg
islature: also comphmenting Governor Morton
for his energy and patriotism, declaring that
the Union shall be preserved Internationally,
and that the soldiers of Indiana will devote
their means and their lives to the Union. The
resolutions were drawn up by Colonel Hunter
of the eighty second Indiana regiment, dem
ocrat, who with Colonel Goodin of the twenty
second Indiana, and ether prominent demo-
Gratis, made energetic speeches, denouncing
treason in the Indiana Legislature and at the
North They also pledge themselves that
there is not an Indiana soldier whose garments
were wetted on the field of battle who will not
endorse the resolutions, and who will not fight
the enemies of the Union, North and South,
to the death The resolutions will be acted
upon bv each regiment, and forwarded,
through a committee of officers, to the Indiana
Legislature.
ALLEGED BRBERY.-A rumor having been
current that attempts had been made by Gen.
| Simon Cameron to bride certain members OF
| the Pennsylvania Legislature to vote for HIM as
| Senator at the late election, or TO be absent
| themselves that he might be elected, com
mittee of the House was chosen few days
| ago to inquire into the circumstances alleged.
Since the appointment of the committee, Thos.
! Jefferson Boyer, who says Cameron made the
proposition to pay him twenty thousand dol
ars in consideration of votes to be given or
nuetrazed in favor of Cameron's election,
has published lengthy account of the man
ner he was approached, and the details of the
scheme of bribery and corruption Mr.. Boy
er writes as if his design from the beginning
of the trade was to defeat the attempted infa-
| my of Cameron. But as the matter is be fore
the Legislative committee its report will show
| how matters stand. Much excitement has
been caused by the disclosure.
e The Correspondent of the New York
Times says
| A conference was held last Saturday even
| ing at the White House, in which Secretary
Stanton and several prominent Senators and
| Representatives participated, and in which po-
litical matters of grave importance were dis
| cussed and determined. That change Of
| Administrative policy in many essential re-
| spects will be the result, is regarded as GER
tain, even if it occasions official changes in
important places.
After this conference, a portion of the par
ty retired to Avenue House, where it was in
creased by large additions, and sat down to
supper given IN honor of Hon. John Covode,
and made the occasion of presentation to
him of an elegant gold sword, in token OF his
valuable services on the committee on the con-
duct of the war; Speeches were made by
Senators Pomeroy, Sherman and Morrill,, by
Messrs Mann of Philadelphia, and Roach OF
Massachusetts,, and by Secretary Usher and
| Hon. Simon Cameron.
The tendency of all the speeches was in ia
vor of thorough reorganization Of the Re-
publican party, and one which will enable it
to some extent to secure to itself the advanta-
ges usually derived from the possession Of ad-
ministrative power
The compliment to Mr.. Covode was deserved
no less on account of his high personal quail
tiles, than Of the great value to the country
his official services.
