Great ioy exists in Washington, to.
night, for the CiYil-tenure matter IS
settled. It is difficult to judge who are
the happicst over the result, the Presl-
dent. the Congress-, the of1ice-seeHers,
or the public who read the newspapers.
The settlement of the subject has per-
ceptible influence on the city, tonight,
and general rejoicing is felt on all sides.

early in the afternoon, when Mr.. But
Ter presented the report of the confer
ence committee of the two houses. Ine
amendments to the bill and the points
of difference between the various pro
positions are elsewhere given in your

subject for some time, and Butler, Lo-
gan, Bingham and Farnsworth occu-
pied most OF the time, as usual. NlOIack,

action on the report in advance OF the
Senate, and during its conslderatl0h
many Senators were present IN 'he

the power with the Senate instead of
with the President. Mr.. Thurmnn's
remarks were to the same effect, and
he moved to lay the report on the table
