vsT WASHINGTON, June 18th.
Tho Radicals arc very much exercised
on account Of the very general impression,
that Mr.. Davis will be shortly released
from prison, and lost no time to-day IN
nass;ng, by solid vote, resolution IN the
House Of Representatives declaring ina,
!, i the sense of that body that ne shooia
be kept in confinement. ,>,:oro ,,ot
Many parties of cminence believe ma1
hail cannot be taken in the case until ne
Is arraicned for trial, but that he VIII DC
hrnrcbt ont shortly on the writ of hdbedS
oarn,S when profcrcd baii--now ready
mus, he accepted. The question is one
which has engaged the attention OF the
President almost exclusively since the
meeting of the Circuit Court in Richmond
las, Monday. AS yet, no definite final de-
cision on what the result will be has been
reached. Judge Underwood is unwilling
10 exercise his power, and the only action
which will he taken in the case Will be
that of the Government. How long before
that will come cannot now be stated:
Horace Greeley comes in for unlimited
denunciation on account OF the view he
has taken of the injustice of longer con-
tnement.
The scene in the House to-day was one
of very great excitement. The contro-
ycrsy between General Rousseau and Mr..
Grinncll was near leading to more than
bandying of words between the parties,
although the very peaceable disposition OF
the latter il is certain would preclude the
possibility of any further meeting. Gen
t)emen now use the strongest kind OF en-
pressions in debate, and make wholesale
accusations against their fcllow-members !;
butit invariably turns out that nofurther no.
flee is taken unless some member, inspired
with wholesome ideas of morality, manages
IN Introduce a resolution for the expulsion
of one of the partcs-and always the party
an the minority side-for words used III de-
bate.
DISPATCHES received at the office OF the
Surgeon General announce that Assistant
Surgeon Benjamin Tappon, United States
volunteers, was murdered by Indians on
the 22d of March, near Cottonwood, Ne.
vada territory. Other reports, received
from that territory, announce hostile dc.
monstrations on the part Of the 9 red men"
The Government will augment its military
forces in these out-of-the-way places, and
Junior officers will have special duties to
perform in the very far West.
A board has been appointed to examine
a proposed location for freSh-water basin
for iron clad vessels at Portland, Maine. A
resolution providing for such recently
passed Congress. The board will be COM
posed of Captain Melancton Smith, chief
engineer; j. W. King, Of the navy, and
Brigadier- General J. W. Alexander, of the
army.
The Radicals of the House will hardly
consent to the new Freedmcn's Bureau bill
reported to-day in the Senate. 1t is the
House bill recently passed, with the pet
proviso of Thad. Stevens giving the Sea
Island cotton lands to the negroes stricken
out. There will be hard fight on the bill
before Congress makes it law, acting as
far as in their power. Ifit is vetoed when
it passes, the Radicals express no doubt Of
overriding the veto. By that time there
will be additional bitterness manifested to-
wards the Administrations TIMON,
