The House sat last night until about one o'clock,
and opposed OF the ninety amendments Of the
5. nate 10 tae Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation.
Many OF raid amt ndments were agreed TO, and
IN any others were not Among the latter was tn
one for paying Father Richie fair price for exc
cutting portion of The public printing, which he
contracted 10 execute greatly under the customary
prices. Should The Senate insist upon the preser-
walton OF this amen ms mt, some OF Mr. RItche's
eneme; in the House will to hi ght make an effort
10 defeat The whole Civil and Diplomatic bill, by
Withdrawing from the hall and refusing to vote, in
such force TO leave the House without quorum.
Many OF the members have already gone home,
and the number left may easilv be reduced. by a
factious Clique, below III; and when the House
shall get reduced below that number, it can pass
no bills, for there will be quorum.
But the probability is that those who design to
thus act will not be able to influence or prevail
upon sufficient portion of the House TO enable
the IN To accomplish Their purpose. The great Civil
and Diplomatic Appropriation bill will pass and
along with il, will be carried the appropriation for
paying Father Richie. Noas farons.
Much noise and conf lson prevailed during the
session of the House lost night, and some rich
scenes occurred. Mr.. Speaker Cobb proved 4
trump throughout the session, and behaved with
great flrmness mparuality and dignity, as the pre-
siding officer Of that stormy and turbulent congre-
CATION OF Solons. Another night session is TO be
had, end il bids fair to be stormy one.
The Senate, to-day, took up the Navy Appropria-
ton bill, with the new amendments offered TO said
bill, and had thesame under consideration for some
hours after which, as amended, il was passed.
The House took up the Senate's amendments TO
the Indian Appropriation bill, and spent some time
in the consideration OF the same. Some were con-

The Senate worked hard to dey on the Indian
Appropriation bill. 1t added to the bill several i'm.
rortsnt amendments, and then passed it. The ap-
preparation for the Cherokees was warmly contested

Committee on Printing. attempted to make a re-
port, but failed. The Hous- took up the amend
