cover up any number OF eXtravagant
iObs and fraudulent contracts.
One thing the House dld today which
deserves 10 be made note Of. 1t put
PomerOy's pet land swindle to death
This scheme embraced several nice fea-
lures. Among others it covered about
one-sixth of the best lands in Kansas,
purchased by the Government Of the
Usage Indians, and given to the Lesven-
worth and Galveston Railroad Company,
in which PomerOy is interested. There
was 8 big dght ia the House. Cary, OF
Ohio, and others made vehement and
telling speeches. The Radical iobbers
urued out in force, but il vas finally

The Senate is duh to-day. Chase has
arrived. He denies that he is for Nc
| CulIoch, says he is neutral. The object
of his coming is to urge Fred. Sewsrd
! for RonIns' place. This would be point
| for Chase IS il Wopld throw him the sup
mort OF the whisky ring. he and his
| friends say they are hopeful.
| Currency Bureau Clarke says he hasn't
| resigned. He is 3 miserable wretch who
/ has been shielded throughout by McCul-
loeh. His talk Of resignation is no douot
suggested by the danger Of the removal
of his master.
Leading Republicans inform DR.. Chip
lev that they will not sustain the late
| ontrages in Georgia. 1t looks rather
ugly for Meade just Low, The President
/ is dissatisfied, and there srs hints Of a
commission.
JUNE l9.-Grant and Butler, BY the
| intercession of friends, /" have buried the
! hatchet. They dined together for the
| fret time to-day, and report says were
very merry over their wine. CoifaX
was the go-between. The idea is that
| Butler Is TO have a foreign mission il
/ Grant 10 elected, snd, in the event of the
refusal of the Court TO which he may be
assigned to receive him, which is likely,
/ he Il TO be made Collector of New York.

/ The prospect OF any tax bill this ses-
sion is blue, The Radicals ere afraid to
commit themselves. sehBnek Is, or pre-
/ tends to be, disgusted, but the managers
saw "no tax bill after the Presidential
election"
/ LIME The Radicals are very angry
with Simon Cameron for taking batch
/ of Senators off on spree to Ashland
PennsyIvania. The oversight prevented
tha desired tWO-thirds vote over the
/ PresidentIs veto. The thing creates 9
good deal of merriment in Democratic
/ Circles. Cameron himself cares little
about ii. He has big job on hand, and
his railroad celebration was designed tC
grind his own ak, party or no party.
The friends OF McCuIloch are besiegiug
the White House. The President tells
them that the resignation OF McCulloet
would relieve him OF embarrassment
Intimate friends of Mr.. johnson to-day

outstanding cases.
The veto OF the Dill auLAlt1inS Oeoi "a
North Carolina, etc., Is looked IoF some
time about the middle OF next week.
The following is strong Illustration
/ of the ineompatibility OF the nomlp a
tion of Chase by the Democratic Ma
tianaI Convention: when q colleg'
of Catholic Bishops shall vote a Cardi
naPs hat to Rn 'itinerRnt Methods
niuister,' then viii the Democratic
Convention, which meets in New Horh
on the 4th Of July, nominate Chief Jus
! tice CHASE as their candidate for th'
