formation relative to the aifray ut the

secure the enforcement Of laws in that
country, / therefore concur with the
secretary Of the interior in suggesting the
adoption Of the pending bill for the cree
ton Of a judicial district in the Indian
territory rs a measure which will afford
the most immediate remedy for the ex.
ist troubles.

The Giant Underwriting Incorporation.
The superiority of the general system of fire
underwriting is forcibly illustrated in the ca
reer of that substantial incorporation, the Liv-
erpool, London and Globe the largest and
most popular fire insurance company in the
whole world. During the year 1871, which is
admitted to have been by far the most disas-
trous in underwriting experience, as it included
the great Chicago as well as many other disas-
trous confagrations, the business of the Liver
pool, London and Globe was SO large that its
total assets were only reduced seven hundred
thousand dollars ($7OO,OOO,) while its present
invested funds amount to no less than twenty
million ($20, OO0, 0O0) in gold showing financial
solidity SURPRISING that of any other fire incor-
poration extant. Such superior condition
could never be reached by a company trans
acting local business and proves the general
system introduced by the London, Liverpool
and Globe to be far in advance of any other.
The prosperity of the company is also eyinced
in the great excellence and general adaptation
of the buildings it usually secures for its offices
it owning fine edifices in nearly all the lead
ing cities of the world. - --.,.l Id.
Ne company we know of possesses the full
confidence of the business public more COM
pletely than the London, Liverpool and Globe,
and certainly none more worthy of the great
distinction.-[Nes York Euenir.g Express.

SENATE.

WASHINGTON, May Ia bill was passed re-
pealing the provision of the army appropra-
ton act of 1870, prohibiting promotions in the
staff of the army.
Mr.. Stockton reported bill referring to the
Court of Claims the claim of the representa-
tives of the late Admiral Dahlgren, for the use
of his gun by the United States government
Bills were passed to regulate elections in
Washington and Idaho territories Upon this
amendment long discussion arose, in which
Messrs. Trumbull and Stevenson participated.
a,a HOUSE. 8c
The Senate amendment to the House bill
abolishing duties on tea and coffee, making the
bill take effect the first of July next, were con-
Cured in by large majority, the yeas and
nays being refused The bill now goes to the
President
Bill were reported from the Committee on
Indian Affairs and acted on.
Among them are the following: Regulating
the mode of making private contracts with the
Indians which was passed. To provide for the
removal of the Kansas tribe of Indians to the
Indian Territory, and dispose of their land in
Kansas to actual settlers only. Passed
The House than went into Committee of the
Whole, on the tariff bill.
Mr.. Kelley of Penn, gave notice that he
would at the close of the general debate Fri
day, move to strike out the enacting clause,
and direct the Ways and Means Committee to
report back the substitute offered on behalf of
policies of protection and free trade, and said
that he believed that he was serving his coun-
try and kind in teaching protection in season
and out of season. The pending bill was a
poor little fatherless unrecognized thing a
cruel satire ON the catch word, "Free Trade
and the Revenue Reform, by which it was
hoped to be popularized. .H
Mr.. Stevenson of Ohio was the next speaker,
Referring to the immense reserve in the treas
ury, he spoke of Secretary Boutwell, as the
most magnificent miser the world has ever
known. He supported the bill as one which
contained no selfish projects or jobs as one of
revenue reform, and a pledge and earnest of
honesty in which he congratulates the Commit
tee on Ways and Means.
Mr.. Conner of Texas, followed in a free trade
speech.
The committee rose, and Mr.. Negley of Penn
sylvania, withdrew the bill introduced by him
ON Monday providing for the settlement Of the
accounts of railroad companies. He said he
had introduced it ON information that some of
his constituents were interested in it, but he
had since learned that such was not the fact,
and as he felt no interest in it he withdrew it.
The House at four o'clock took a recess till
p m.
The evening session was devoted to territorial
business.
