Correspondence OF The Tribune

WASHINGTON. Saturday, P. NJ
The disagreement between the two Houses re-
specting the Senates California amendment u
the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill was
referred early this morning TO a Committee OF
Conference, consisting, on the part Of the Senate,
Messrs. AfhertoR Of n. II. Berrien OF Ga and
Dickinson Of n. y. and on the part oft House OF
Messrs. Vinton of Ohio, AicoH of n y and More
head of Ky. The three in Italics are presumed
to bo favorable 10 an express Introduction oil
Slavery in the Territories the other three ad-
verse. The House sends three OF It's most mod
crate men, while the Senate in Mr.. Berrien is
represented by one Of the most determined adver
saries OF the Proviso, to say nothing Of Mr. Dick
inson's extreme position for aSenator from Free
State. STILL as four Of the Members Of the Joint
Committee are from the Free and but two from
the Slave States. l do not complain.
No report from the Committee has yet been
made, but 1t was buzzed through the Hal, Just as
the House took It's recess, that Il majority had
agreed on the basis Of an agreement, which basi,
was substantially Mr. Wcbsters proposition a.
submitted TO the Senate few days since. IL in
effect empowers the President to keep the peace
and maintain order In the New Territories until
Congress shall otherwise direct, and meantime
provides that the Mexican laws in force in these
Territories al the time Of their acquisition shall re
main in force SO far as applicable.
l withhold comments until this compromise
whatever 1t be, shall be fairly known. II it il
effect excludes Slavery, no matter for the form,
shall be abundAntly satisfied. The substance is
everything. the semblance nothing. As it shall
seem TO be- or not to be, satisfactory this point
| shall vote for or against it.
The subject is cAnvassed in knots and corner.
with intense anxiety. There will be full attend
snce at the hour Of meeting tonight Last even

southern States, all but three were present AM

fore to-day, but confess my greenness in frank
humility. have had my experience decidedly
enlarged since morning.
The Indian Appropriation bill was passed by
the House early in the session and went to the
Senate, where several new appropriations were
piled upon it-smong them one Of sl,s3l0oO
and over in satisfaction OF the claims OF the Chero
KEGS on this Government for money due them IN
der the Treaty of 1876 on account OF injuries done
them in their iorcible removal from their original
country in Georgia, Alabama, &c. The House
Committee OF Ways and means reported in favor
Of paying the money. but in portions and under
restrictions calculated TO its proper apPh-
cation and the final release OF the United States
from ell claims and demands of the Cherokecs for
past wrongs and injuries The Committee farther
recomme ended, in view Of the probable speedy de-
plesion and emptiness OF the Treasury under the
operation of this and similar appropriations

or reissue Treasury notes during the ensuing year

Dollars--the power to terminate with the next
Session of Congress.

while the incoming Administration was pledged

Nobody can appreciate the meanness Of this
N;ssourian's appeal to Buncombe who had not
been here this Winter to see how steadily no and
his friends had opposed every effort made during
the ses,ion to reduce the Expenditures OF the
Government. Motions to retrench utterly useless
expenses in the Navy, to stop recruiting for the
Army, to curtal on various items OF GNU and d.
plonatic Appropriation. &c. &c. had been made'
and none Of them received any effective support
FROM, that quarter But now, when the money Is
profusey appropriated. so that the new Adminis'ra
ton will be compelled to pay 1t, this reormer pro
poses to commence retrenchiug by refusing them,

called upon for payment by creditor, should say,

might be confined 10 the other wing Of the Cspto

In the House. the NewYork Mint bill was

The bill creating the Home Department or Tue
Department Of the Interior, adds another mem
Der To the Cabinet of Gen. TAYLOR, and DIS
patch to the Sunday Herald states that the new
place in the Cabinet is 70 be filed by Hon. JOHN
DAVIS Of Mass and that ABBOTT LAWRENCE hsv-
ing declined the Navy Department, Mr. PREsros
takes il. and that his place as Attorney General
is 10 be filed by REvERDY JOHNSON Of Maryland.

In confirm alton Of this statement we have the
following dispatch from the office Of the Phaadet-
phia Sua:
"Mr Lawrence declines the Navy Department
Mr. Preston takes it. Reyerdy Johnson is TO be
Attorney Gederal, and John Davis Secretary Of
the Home Department
This all seems very strange, but as so many
strange things happen nowadays, perhaps IT Is
not 10 be wondered at. Mr. LAWRENCE, according
TO the Heralds dispatch, declined taking any
place 10 the Cabinet except that OF Secretary Of
the Treasury. But his most intimate friends in
this City had heard nothing Of this up to 10 oclock
last night, and Mr. DAVIS, according TO our reading
of the Constitution, is not eligible TO the Office
Just created. The Constitution, Article !, Section
8, provides that
No Senator Representative shal, during the time
for which he elected. be appointed 10 any civil
Ofce under the authority Of the United States which
shall have been created or the Emoluments whereof
shall have been encressed during such time and no
person holding any Office under the United States shall
