The New Currency Bill-Our
Foreign Relations.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Special Despatch 10 The BVentae Telegraph.
The Currency Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The action OF the
Senate, in refusing to concur In the House
amendment to the supplementary Currency act
is looked upon as lnsuTing the failure OF thAt
measure for the present session. The House is
go unanimous and so thoroughly In earnest over
Coburn's amendment that any Committee OF
Conference will have to insist upon that, or else
have their report defeated. Many members
now prefer that the whole matter shall go over
to the next session, when there will be more
time to frame measure likely to give general
satisfaction. Representatives Of national banks,
more particularly large banks, who would suffer
most by the passage of the bill, are now here
trying to insure its defeat and they are likely
to succeed.
The Friends of General Grant
are greatly disappointed at the refusal of the
Senate to agree 10 the repeal of the Civil
Tenure act. Grant himself, it would seem, is
less annoyed about it than any other person.
He is said to have remarked to a member of
the House who called upon him to-day, that he
preferred to be free and unfettered in his ac-
tion; but if the Senate rnfused to repeal the act
in question it should not trouble him. The only
thing was that the Senate would have to
shoulder the responsibility.
Diplomatic Relations.
1t is now apparent that the present Confer
ence Committee on the diplomatic appropriation
bill will fail TO agree; they have had several
meetings, always with the same result, Butler
insisting upon his proposition to consolidate
the Central and South American Missions, and
Senator Sumner on the part of the Senate re-
tusing to yield that point. 1t is thought new
committee will be ordered.
warehOusiug Goods.
The Ways and Means Committee has had a
bill to prohibit the warehousing of goods manu-
factured in the United States under considera
ton for the past two days. No conclusion has
yet been reached, but Indications are that the
bill will be agreed upon by the Committee and
reported to the House. It is the bill introduced
In the Senate last year by Senator Morrill, O
| Vermont, but it has been considerably mo lifeG
by the Ways and Means Committee.

FORTIETH CONGRESS-THIRD SESSION
House Of Representatives.

Mr.. Cook, of Illinois, from the Committee on
Elections, made a report In the case of j. II.
from The Territory of Wyoming. The report
concludes with the following res0lution:-
Resolved That j. II. Easement is not entitled
to seat IN This House as q delegate from the
Territory OF WY oming.
Laid on the table, and ordered to be printed.
The Speaker laid befor The House the Presi-
dents veto of the Copper Tariff bill.

tions TO the contrary Notwithstanding?
Mr.. Schenek, OF Ohio, said he did not propose
to lake up the time of the House at this late
day OF the session in a fresh discussion of this
bill. He would yield his hour to gentlemen on
both sides of the House who were especially
interested in this measure and resume the floor
in time to call the previous question.
He yielded ten minutes first TO Mr.. Blair, of
Michigan, who spoke Of the Willingness of the
President to obllge his friends in Baltimore by
vetoing the bill,
The Baltimoresns in town had invited him
to stop at their city ON bis way to Tennessee.
While he would be receiving hospitalities In

He tMr. Brooks) was as much interested in the
copper business as the gentleman from Michi-

the whole country for the sake OF his own con-

York from 5 to 10 per cent since the bill had
passed the House. and but for the prospect of a
veto they would have gone up 10 per cent more
