Another Omission Discovered In an Apprepri-
afion Bili-A Chance for Another Parlia-
mentary Tilt.
The other day General Butler made row In the
House about an omission In the enrolment Of bill,
limiting very loudly that 1t had occurred through de-
sign and not mere accident The hint raised quite
storm in the House, Schenck, republican, Of OHIO,
and Holman, democrat Of Indiana, appearing to
feel the prick OF Buffers steel very severely and
pitching into the Essex member In o style scarcely
warranted by the circumstances. The general i'm
preston at the time was that Butler had been too
hasty In attributing the omission 70 deliberate In
tention on the part Of any member or clerk, and
that 1t had happened in consequence Of great
haste and press OF business attending the
close OF Q session. Now, however, 1t would
appear that there is another omission TO be
accounted for, and it is q little singular that
its discovery should turn up the heels Of
its predecessor Investigation develops the fact
that clause or amendment added to the Army Ap-
preparation bill Withholding any further payment
from horse doctor named Dunbar has been
left Off the bill through some cause or other. Dun
bar got joint resolution through Congress author
izng his employment by the War Department for
the treatment Of army horses In some fantastic
style and In accordance with the resolution Secre
tary Schofeld made contract with him to pay him
$25 600 in consideration Of his instructing army far
riers In the mysteries OF his art About
$1,000 had been paid Dunbar In execution
OF the contract, when, 1t is alleged, certain
damaging revelations were made, which led to
another resolution Withholding further payment.
This resolution or amendment, 1t now appears, has
been left out Of the Army Appropriation bill, and
General Butler, seconded by Mr. Wood, Of New
York, intends to ind out the cause. the subject
may come up tomorrow, when, In all probability,
there will be another spicy parliamentary tilt be-
tween Butler and some OF his foes on the moor.

Of the postal telegraph system. returns home this
evening. well satisfied With his success. The Senate
Committee after fall examination II the postal
telegraph, unanimously reported bill to establish

acted upon. The House Committee reported against
it. 1t was stated at the commencement OF the near
ing that they were unit In their opposition to the
measure, but at the close stood ve to four; OF
the majority never attended hearing OF the case,
while another was prevented by indisp0sition from
attending except FOR o short time. The western
Union Telegraph Company are adopting some fea-
lures Of the system, and are introducing their ope
rators into post ofices where they can do it rent
free. The friends Of cheap teegraphing will con-
tInue to agitate the subject through the press and
by public meetings, and confidently believe that
when the system Is understood it win commend It.

1870 viii witness the inauguration Of the postal tele
