WASHINGTON. April s.-Treasurer Spinner is
preparing reply to the communication from
bank presidents relative to the Funding Bill,
in which he will show that BY November lst
slsO, 900. 900 in 5-2Os will mature, and that the
Government can recall them all without COM
pulsion.
The River and Harbor Appropriation bill
will call for two millions and n half-nine
millions less than the engineers estimate.
1t is reliably reported that the Senate will
pass the House bill abolishing the Thanking
privilege.
The Ways and Means Committee has deter
mined to report section TO the Tariff bill
abolishing the tonnage of thirty cents on coast
ing vessels.
Admiral Porter cannot understand how the
Senate can enforce the resolution ordering an
investigation into the Oneida disaster. He
says the British Government has nothing TO
do with the matter; but if the laws ca,. reach
Eyre he should, and doubtless will, be pun
ished. He recommends an appropriation to
assist the American Minister in prosecuting
Eyre. trfsta
1t is believed that the difference between the
banks and Secretary Boutwell, will be adjusted
satisfactorily. The order compelling them to
exchange bonds is amended so as to obyiate
the objection. The Committee of Ways and
Means hopes to report the bill early next week.
Justice Bradley contradicts the report that
he had determined not to sit in cases involving
the constitutionality of the Legal Tender act.

fore his elevation to the supreme bench.

Ben. Buffers Newspaper.

From the Chicago Tribunel.
1t is reported that General Butler is
about to start newspaper organ In New
York, in rivalry with the Tribune on all
questions except the tariff, on which IT
will advocate free trade. The plan of
starting newspapers as the organs OF
politicians is like the Ptolemaic system
of astronomy, in which all the heavenly
bodies were made to revolye around the
earth; or like that other plan, by which
an ingenious inventor thought to roast
goose by having the fire revolve around
the goose, instead of having the goose
turn ON its axis before the fire. A first
class newspaper is of so much more
weight, ana requires SO much more
capital and brains to run it, than poll
tician of like grade, and its interests and
influence, if it is successful, become SO
much more various and powerful than
those of a mere office-seeker or office-hol
der, that if the two work in conjunction
at all it can only be by the politician
giving up his old business and becoming
an editor. As editors, however, politi-
clans are not worth much. If General
Butler possesses from half million to
million of dollars to risk, and fiatters
himself that he can found frst-class
newspaper in New York, the undertake
ing would be so much more important,
memorable and useful than being mere
member of Congress or the Cabinet that
he ought to abandon all demagoguelng at
Washington and set about it at once. If,
however, he proposes to furnish the
money and leave the undertaking to run
itself he must die soon if he wants to die

A Washington correspondent Of the
Worcester Spy relates the following.
Senators have the use of a handsome
bathroom. Attached to it is a barber
shop. Mr. Garrett Davis is reported to
have been daily customer. Recently
he was in as usual. Passing just beyond
the door, he looked in amazement at a
vision on which his eyes rested. There
sat his colleague from Mississippi, Sena-
tor Revels, evidently not long from the
bathroom, and enjoying the luxury Of
comfortable shave Garrett looked on
in horror, turned haughtily on his heel
and walked ont He has not been in
since, and, it is reported, has moved to
strike out the bathroom appropriation
from the bill.

CLEVELAND. April 9.-At few minutes past
tleman entered the bank of the Citizens Saw

cashier in cosversation; in about five minutes
he left. and another mar, who entered unseen,
passed out with him. The cashier went TO the
vault and found it had been robbed CT $50. 900.
The excitement was intense and for an hour
no clue was found to the robbery; finally two
men. I. W. Hardy. of Cincinnati, and james
Williams. of Boston, attracted attention at a
low hotel on River street by their large dia-
monds and loose style of talk. and they were
taken into custody. when their baggage was

An English View OF the Piegan
Massacre.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.l
These one hundred and forty women
and children we're offered up as solemn
sacrifice in honor of industrial progress,
Christian civilization and democratic in
stitutions. There is some talk about an
inquiry by Congress; but it is almost
certain that the talk will come to moth
ing. Meanwhile, the butchery must have
been directed by an officer who is amen
able to a military trial, and who has over
him, besides his immediate superiors, a
General commanding, a Secretary of
War, and President, who is ex-officio
Commander-in-Chief. 1t is these high
personages who will be responsible for
all similar crimes in the future if they
allow this one to go UNPUBLISHED; and, in
the probable event of their thinking it be-
meath their notice, we commend their
conduct to the careful consideration Of
Disconnected Radicals in England.

THE CHICAGO SUICIDE AT NIAGARA
FALLs.-The circumstances of the suicide
of Mrs. Avery of Chicago by throwing
herself into the rapids just above Niagara
Falls are related by local paper. She
stopped at the Spencer House with the
name of Mrs. Hill, and after staying qui-
city there for few days, she was observed
of Tuesday morning walking to and fro
on the bridge over the rapids to Goat Is
land, enveleped in a waterproof clock,
and evidently meaning TO attract atten-
ton. When she saw that she was watched,
she ceased her promenade, halted a mo-
ment close to the railing of the bridge,
and then climbed over it and stood on the
extreme outer edge of the structure. The
man who had been watching her at this
juncture started to approach her, but be-
fore he could reach her she raised her
cloak, pulled it over her head, and
plunged headlong into the rushing waters
below. All those who are acquainted
with the spot will readily guess how rap
idly the doomed woman was washed out
of sight, and how useless to attempt to
save. Two letters were found in her
room at the hotel, one to the landlord as
to her bill, and the other to her husband
at Chicago, latter probably revealing
her motive which yet remains to the pub
lie only what imagination shall suggest.
