INDIANAPOLIS, June =. 1874.
The city has been terribly dull during the
past week. The intense heat seems to have
dried up everything. People stay indoors
and fan themselves, not hardly retaining en-
crgy enough to do that much But yester
day we were blessed with fine shower Inst
ing for IN hour or more, and VIC therefore
confidently expect that during the present
week outside afEairs will improve AS the
hogscs have not al been entered for the
grand scrub races over the political course,
we cannot even get mp healthy excitement
By betting on the result The ness, how
ever, are coming on to the track, ono by ono.
Col T. n. Stillweu has been nomiuatcd for
Congress in the 1lth District, and Capt John
II. Farquhar in the 4th. The 9th District
Convention meets to nominate candidate
for Congress, at Valparaiso, on the 3oth, and
the 10th on the same day. at Kendalvillo.
hon. Schuyler Coltnx viii no doubt be nona1-
mated in the former. In the latter district,
tie matter is Considerably mixed up Tie
aspect has changed materially during the
past week. There arc about q dozen gentle
men willing to eacsitice personal interests
and accept the nomination, and they bid fair
to have warm time at the Convention.
Col. Charles Cnsc, Of The 10Th, who resigned
Inst week on acrount Of i'll health. is 9cu-
toned very prominently.
Iwrote you lust week that Hon. J, Il De-
frees, Of Elkhsrt county, would probably be
nominated, bnt there Eeems to be an impress

nomination. hns been transferring Ills inter

4Jollipg the Convention. I presume this Is
altogether untoundcd, aE Mr. Defrees Is in
-1,%.
but the opponents OF Mitchell Will make q
humble OF It to Try and defeat Detrees- The
prcecut member from thst district, j. W.
Eeserton, Corperlsead, Is in some respects a
formidable opponent, mud it behooyes the

The power If the Committee to make such
an order Is fatty denied br some, deprecated
by others. .

rspudiste 1he1n- and so, like Mrs. Crnncaer,
unttlcr- Meanwhile such co Rardice, for 1t
Is '.ollins else, is haying good effect, The
upiop leaders are receiving assurances every
day oi sound individual conversions from
tho errors OF Copperhcadism, and that in
some instances wuole counties, heretofore
Democratic, Will ut the next election wheel
Ernn6ly into the Union line.
No jut OF earnest effort srin ha a1atea by
tAc Union men to carry Lincoln and John
son. Morton and Baker, through with q safs
and lal,t16ome nlajoritY.
In military matters there is hut little 10
record. The 4Glh ludians, Col Bringhurst,
arrived here on Tuesday and had a reception
Oh "Wednesday. They, like most OF tie
other Indiana regiments, have re-enlisted for
the war. The 18th Indiana, Col. Wood, had
reception on Thursday last. The time OF
This regiment les expired, and the men have
been mustered out and discharged; and in
This connection it may be proper TO remark
t:uL considerable feeling has been excited
throughout the State In reference to mem-
bcrs OF these Old res5iments, who enlisted
OF the regiments, having been held to ser
vice tor three years from the date of enlist
mcDt The men were induced to enter the
service solely upon the ground that they
wuuld be discharged when the regiments
were. GOV. Morton has twice personally
laid the mattcr before the War Department,
aI ueked that au order be made that snch
1nen should be mustered ous with their regi-
Metts, bur without eucccss. And today he
has fof wardcd to the President Of the United
States Senate, and Speaker Of the House OF
Representatives, q memorial upon the eub-
ject, setting forth all The facts connected
Herewith and praying Congress, as q matter
dier, to take such action as will secure their
discharge according to the 0rigIual under
ssaucing. This renewed effort on the part Of
the GorrEor: to hive what seems to be a
wrong rislted, will meet with the ,unquali-
fed appreciation Of the people Of the State,
and serve to give them still greater cond-
and ability Of their Chief Magistrate.
Some 800 rebel prisoners belonging to In
bodcn's command, captured BY Gen. Hunter
at staunton, Va. arrived here Inst Tuesday
In charge Of tho 2Sth Ohio volunteers. They
ate contned ut Camp Morton, and are rather
better looking men than any Of their eonfrxrcs
who have visited us in such capacity.
Inc 18th Ohio, whose time expires on the
6th OF duly, have been stationed here and at
iached to the command OF General CARING
