The Senate Again Exci1ed-Pass-
age of Ihe Colorado Bill--PrOba.
biIIties of Another Veto.
New YORK, April 26.-The Tribune's spe-
cial says: The Senate was the theater of
intense interest again yesterday. The Col
Orado bill being further discussed and put
upon its passage, the vote stood 10 to 13--
one more majority than would have been
obtained for it yesterday, although Senator
Dixon came to-day and paired his vote. or
the IL absentees when the vote was taken,
Messrs. Cowan, Dixon, Fessenden, Harris,
johnson and Salisbury were paired with
Messrs. Wade, Lane of Kansas, Henderson,
Yates, Norton and Williams. Mr.. Wright
has been conveyed to his home again in
New Jersey. Messrs. Anthony, Morrill, and
Brown are claimed to have been in favor of
the bill, and Mr.. Nesmith against it. A full
Senate would doubtless have resulted in a
vote OF % to 81. The success of the meas
ure In the House is assured. The flap-Over
OF Mr.. DOolittle from his previous vote for
1t, to his vote to-day against it, the appear
ance Of Mr.. Dixon from his sick room, and
the excessive opposition of those claiming
TO monopolize the Presidents wishes, lead
to apprehensions of veto, though the
President is upon the record in its favor by
special message urging her admission.
Senators Foster, Sumner, Edmunds, Grimes
and Poland voted with the opposition, to
the disappointment and regret OF those who
regard the integrity and unity of the Re-
publican party as of special consequence at
this juncture.
National Income.
The Treasury Department estimates that
the national income for the present year
will reach five hundred millions. The bal
ances at present at the command of the
Secretary from all sources are believed to
be fully one hundred and sixty millions.
PardOned. .
Col. Nixon, who to-day has received his
pardon, is publisher of the New Orleans
Crescent. the paper edited by Gen. Simon
Bolivar BuckneT, who deserted from the
Union army after two months service tenn
pofa belLi, in 1861. I'D
The Case of IiIIigan and Others.
There appears to be a general under
standing as to the result arrived at by the
Supreme Court in the case of Milligan and
other Golden Circle conspirators. The line
of argument on the Constitutional question
put forth by Gen. Butler was not objected
to seriously, but the case went off on the
habedS corpus act of 1868. The Court stood
five for the discharge of the petitioners, and
four against. and it is well understood that
no two Judges agree on any line OF reason
ing, but each will deliver an opinion Of
his own.
Canvassing the Departments for
lncOmPetenIs. -.
A canvass of the different Departments
of the Government is at present being
made to ascertain the number of employees
who honorably served in the Union army,
with view to the discharge OF incOmpe-
tent persons and the appointment of ex-
soldiers and sailors.
. Important Decision. .-
| An important decision, materially affect
| ing brokers' sales, will shortly be issued by
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
Economy.
In view of the immense amount of mutt
lated and redeemed paper money daily de-
| stroyed at the Treasury Department, the
| Secretary has determined to adopt the sug-
gestion of the superintendent of the Print
| ing Division. made two years ago, recon-
mending, instead of burning, the CONVEX
sion of all such currency into pulp Tor the
manufacture of stationery for the Depart
ment. General Spinner estimates that the
entire Department can by this process be
supplied with envelopes, thereby saving
the Government an expense of from $4,000
to $4,000 per year.
