THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
The Legislative bill has gone to a second con-
ference, the first Comm tees having disagreed
maipl, upon the amendment of the Senate proPos-
ing loan of :s2I ,OO0, 600 The Senate Committee
will not recede until prOyi ion is made to cover
the outstanding Treasury notes.
Tie Civil bill passed as reported from the Con.
terence, covering about $4,000, 600, ADD iacudes
the Aqueduct for this city, the Capitol, Treasury,
and Post Office Extensions, and provision for the
future enlargement of the Capitol grounds. The
Charleston and New. Orleans Custom Houses were
limited to appropriations necessary toprOtect them
% ainst diIapioat on. This bill was lost at one
tine by eve majority, but was reconsdered suisse
quen'y and carried.
Mr.. Branch charged the Republican side with
loading down the bill with offensive amendments,
and then voting 10 defea, it. 1
Mr.. Sherman promptly repealed and disproved
this accusation. He show cd by the Official figures
that Mr.. Cobb asked about $3,60O,O00 for the
items Of which it was composed; that the Ways
and Means reduced the estimate about $4,000,
and the bill finally left the House with an aggregate
of but 100000. The Senate raised it to
S5t O0, eco, and the House Conference reduced it
TO S4CC0,C eco, being all the concession that could
be extoried.
Mr.. Bra ch got more than he baTgained for, aud
subslded.
LOAN BILL REJECTED.
The House refused TO suspend the rules to allow
WibteI Davis to introduce a Loan bill to pay the
Treasury notes. Some measure of this sort must
be carried or the Government ere dit be dshonored.
1t is not propo,ed to graft additional dollar, but
OILY tu redeem the accrued and accruDg indebted
ness. Mr. Cotb asks q reissue Of Treasury notes,
out the House will not consent
THE TARIFF BILL.
The postpoDemcDt of the tariff till next Deem
Der was recOLsidefed by the Senate after long
and animated discussion. Dir. Wilson touched the
real point in 81 ing that the whole movement was
sham, aid designed for political effect, which
Mr.. Tocmbs subsequently confirmed by proclaim
ipgi al elect0reeIing affair. The bill was then
to1eD up and the reading commenced, but it was
laid aside tor the PostOffce Deficiency bill and
other matters.
Mr.. Lane offered the Tariff of 1916 as an amend.
Tent, which will be voted down decidedly if the
Senate ever reaches serious division.
Mr.. Biger has mOngrel scheme prepared to be
presented as substitute with the schedules of the
Tariff of le46 and the rates of that act and of the
ptstnt laa averaged certain classes OF merchan-
die, with specific duties iron, liquors, sugar and
otter leading articles.
All such projects are calculated to distract the
fiiends Of Protection and to prevent solid vote on
Mr.. Morrill's bill, which is the true test.
The STATE OF THE TREASURY.
After careful examination of the state of the
Treasury, ard its probable resources, it is con-
cd, nily expected that Mr. Cobb will be compelled
TO ask for means 10 cover deficiency of Sl0,- i
COCO at the opening of the next session. The re-
yisicn Ct Lis annual estimates by himself, shows he
does not realize the true condition of the Depart

MIR. Holt is unwilling 10 assume the responsibility
Of unotber temporary arrangement, without some
positive expression. Mr.. YaDderbt's contract
will expire on the 9th inst, bur, as no other
steamer will start before that date, the last mail
under it has been carried. MIR. Vanderbilt now
proposes to carry the mail for the hostages, with
the express charge OF % cents per pound ON free
matter which is considered favorable offer for
the Government. Ifthe Senate had acted upon
the bill establishing an overland mail, which the
House sent there inAarch lsst, no embarrassment
would have occurred. Suspicion is entertained
that 'ome interested object may have caused this
delay, so as to compel an arrangement, or some
special legislation in the expiring hours of the SEES.
