FROM WASHINGTON
Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribunel
| WASHINGTON, March ), 1868.
The Indemnity bill passed this morning in
the Senate at halfpaEt fire o'clock, at the
close of Biyard's speech. Throughout the
night all the Democratic Senators who were
making factious opposition, excepting Bay
ard, had been so drunk thai it was with great
difficulty they could keep up their allibuster-
ing and talking against time. Mr. Powell
made an unusually long speech, atter which
Baya1d got the floor, aud talked for an hour
or two. By this time it was after five O. clock
in the morning, and most Of the Democrats
had gone home. The Republicans
were all on hand. Bayard finally gave way for
Powell to make motion to adjourn, On which
the yeas and nays we're called. This being de-
cidcd in the negative, Powell seemed to ex-
pect Bayard to rcsunc his remarks, while
Rayard appeared to suppose that Salisbury
was going 10 take the floor. During the little
delay thus caused, Pomeroy, who Vas
temporarily in the Chair, announced that the
question WAS OF the report Of the Conference
Committee on the bill, and before Powell,
Salisbury or BaJaEd had found out what was
| going on, tho question had been put and the
bill passed.
Mr.. 'Trunbull, quic!s as Q flash, instantly
got the aoor and morea to proceed to the

yond the reach Of the minority. It vas not

Of the Senate Scrgeant-at-Arms in closing all

Summers mediation resolutions passed both
Houses By II heavy majority, only the worst
Of the Copresheads, in most cases, opposing
them. It was remarkable, however, that two-
thirds Of the Kentucky Delegation, headed by
Crittenden, voted against this dignihcd asscr-
tion Of our national rights. The Democrats
soon concluded to quit filli'ustcrinS OIL the
bill when they found they could not get at
tho bill consnil'ng their third mileage till tho
other was adopted.
The judiciary bill was thus forced through
making tour nc" Judgeshps to be filled, it
i: hoped, by four good Republicans, and
kicking Wicklife's disloyal son-in-law from
the Federal treasury ut Which hc has been
pulling so lcag.
The third mileage went through both
Houses with whirl. The license for retail

night from trn to twen'T dollars. An attempt
