passed the senate at o'clock this morning,
after q continuous session of Is hours, to en-.
force the Fifteenth Amendment, is OF such a
stringent character that it is not acceptable
TO the author of the original measure which
passed the house, and when il is taken up
then non. concurrence will be moved. One
of the remarkable features of the bill 10 con-
tanned IN the in Slh section, which gives the
United States marshais the power to call on
the land and naval forces of the United
States 10 assist them IN case OF resistance.
Even republican members Of the house de
clare that this provision Is such q palpable
violation OF the constitution, that they will
not vote for it. A modified bill, merely i'm
posing pains and penalties for preventing
colored persons from voting, is likely TO
come out of this disagreement between the
two houses.
Forney's promised asssu, on the FIVE
republican senators who are on the Judiciary
committee OF the senate appeared Saturday,
but falls far short of public expectation. 1t
is true 1t denounces them personally and
politically; declare that they are the defend
ers OF the rebels Of the south aud associates
OF democrats OF the north, bat II fails utterly
TO refuIe the conclusion of the aforesaid
com mttee that ForBe7 received about
81 900 from Gov. Bullock to influence the
south against the Bibg ghsm amendment. The
other republican paper comes out with
copies of torney's evidence taken in this
investigation, which is of the most contra
dictory character, and plainly admits al
alteration of the books OF the Chronicle to
make them show that Bullock had received
a full con sideratlou for his money.
Both the President and the commissioners
of Indian affairs express the opinion that an
Indian war will be obvIated by the coming
consultation with Red Cloud aud the Sioux
chiefs. Orders have been sent TO guarantee
them the fullest protection in coming TO
Washington. This has been done because
of the temper of the frontier settlers, who
have threatened swift vengeance on any OF
the Sioux tribe. The Indian peace COM
missioners are bringing all their influence
to bear against the military policy whic b
some of the Washington authorities are
desirous of inauguratiug
