The 7latory of an act in relation to
day Xpus, was House bill amended in
ho,%y0 not very important particulars.
oY eendmcnts will be concurrcd in by
Zsuse, and the bill became q law. One

. is probable that the bill to increase
i . regular army, now under considcra-
ION in the lower chamber, will occupy
until near the end of the ensuing week
before a vote on the main question is ar
rived al.
Personal discussions have become quite
common of late in the Senate, which ought
to be the more dignifcd body. They re-
suit in nearly every instance from Scna-
tors of the majority party undertaking to
lecture and dictate to those not on the
powerful side. The tacit threat of cxpul-
sion for any unseemly conduct on the part
of the minority, which is, in plain words,
any outspokcn dcnunciation of unconSti-
tutional motions,-w not be found sutli-
cient TO prevent Democrats and conscrva-
tive members from asserting their views
boldly on what seems to them to call for
opposition.
Mr.. Smythe will be confirmed next week
in his appointment as New York Collector,
but Mr.. Stanberry's case will probably lie
over until it is determined whether or not
the judicial district over which he will
preside if he is confirmed will be abolished
or not.

Mr.. Morrill,, from the Committee on the
District of Columbia, will, during the next

sion of suffrage in the District. 1t is not
thought it will pass by a two-third vote, i'll
