WASHINGTON ITEMS.

INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL.
WASHINGTON March 26.-The Sea-
ate failed to consider the Indian APP
preparation BIZ to-day, notwithstand-
ing its great Importance, in view of
our present relations with the Indians,
and the strong efforts of Mr.. Fessen-
den. The bill covers seventy-6ve
printed pages, aud MI. FesSenden ex-
pressed the belief that it would take
several days TO consider it, and that q
day for adjournment could not be de-
cided upon until the bill was disposed
of.
AMENDED CURRENCY BILL.
On the amended Currency Bill In
the Senate to-day, which again came
ap through the influence of Mr.. Sher-
man, a lively and sparkling debate a.
rose, during which some temper was
shown by MeSSrS. FeSsenden and Nor
ton. The latter got the better of the
discussion, and created much COM
ment by picturing the Maine Senator
in the character of Lecturer EXtraOrd-
| mary to the Senate. The debate on
the bill was continued until nearly .
O'Clock, but no vote was reached.
THE DEBATE IN THE HOUSE.
The Civil Tenure incubus again
made its appearance in the House to
day. Mr.. Butler renewed his motion
of yesterday, to reconsider the vote
Dy which the Senate'S amendments
and the entire subject was referred to
( the Judiciary Committee, and u short
discussion followed, in which a rum
ming fire was INDUCED In by Butler,
Garfield, Bingham and others. Those
in favor of concurring in the Senate's
action, ana, also, the Democrats, were
opposed to the motion to reconsider,
because they wanted time to debate
on the subject, and SO Mr.. Buffers
motion was lost by a large majority,
the Democrats turning the table on
him, and voting in a body with the
suspenders. The subject was then be-
fore the House, subject to debate, and
a highly interesting discussion ensq-
ed.
MI. Butler also explained that the
committee probably would not be
called this session, and, therefore, it
was better to keep the matter out OF
their hands.
Judge Woodward, of Pennsylvania,
had a few minutes awarded to him,
and, of course, made an argument a
gainst the eonstitutionality of the
original law. He called attention to
the speech of Senator Sprague, in the
Senate, and unkindly intimated that
] peIlldpo SOA1O VI lAO DOAAL5 II II AA4ShA
have come from a distinguished rela-
tive of the Rhode Island Senator.
MI. Bingham had the floor for an
hour, but he vas so repeatedly inter
rupted from all parts of the House,
that his arguments we've somewhat
disconnected. -y FL
Mr.. Garfield, spoke with much
earnestness, with Interruptions from
Messrs. Logan, Davis, FarnswOrth,
and others.
Mr.. Schenck followed in his usual
style. 81.
Judge Noah Davis, the new MEM
Der from New York, took sides with
Butler, in favor of absolute repeal
He received profound attention from
all sides.
After he had finished, a motion waH
made to concur in the Senate amend
ments. The yeas and nays were ord
cred, and the House rejected the mo-
ton. yeas 20, nays 90, MF.. Butter a
gain achieving a victory. The bill
again goes to the Senate, and unless
they accept the action of the House,
they will ask for a conference com
mittee; and 50 the fight goes on.
