time to time in the conduct of our affairs
with Indian tribes, Gen Butler has pro-
posed to raise a joint committee OF the
two Houses of Congress, who shah be
charged with the investigation OF all these
matters.
Gen Butler has introduced bill in the
House, to repeal the Tenure-of- Office act
and demanded the previous question
thereon. 1t passed by vote OF l4o
years to l6 nays. The same bill, being
sent to the Senate, after lively debate,
was referred to the Judiciary Committee.
The indications are that the Senate Will
decide to modify, not repeal, the existing
statute. The Democrats and the lately ad.
mitted Senators from the South were gen.
eraily favorable to immediate repeal.
The vote referring the matter stood 50 to
%.
