70 Tu8 EDITOR NEW NoRrn-WBsf:
Congress having adjourned last evening,
to Tuesday next, We may sum up
THIS wEEx's PRocEEDIxoA
The Legislative, Executive and Judicial ap.
preparation bill passed. The bill for the
enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment,
after having been referred TO conference
committee, passed. The territorial bin for
the District passed the Senate last evening.
It is believed that in view of tho complicat-
ed form of our present government, this bill
will pass the House in time to affect the ap.
preaching election in this city. To the res
idents here this bill is of the utmost import
ance. An appropriation of 4100, o0.for the
Arctic expedition will become law, having
passed the Senate also the item for improv-
ing and besutifying the city, having passed
by very decided majority, settles for the
present, and perhaps for the future, the
question Of Capitol moving. The passage
of the
NoRTHHRN PACIFIC RAILROAD BILL,
calls out much for and against It.. There
may be this much said in favor Of tit
clinches monopoly, ~ It is we'll understood
that the vote Of Southern members was e.
cured upon this measure by IN assurance
that the Trans continental r. r. (Southern
routO bill would be supported by the North
ern members, in the event Of which three
distinct lines will be opened from the East
to the Pacific shores. The importance Of
this scheme-the large subsidies given
cause it, opposers to cry ''big land ring"
"great swindle," ETC., etc. It 10 reported
that strong influence will be brought upon
the President for veto, but We think with.
out success.
THE REDSKINS
D. c. Toolc, U. 8. A. and Indian Agent,
charvin, Sioux interpreter, and Spotted
Tail, Swift Bear, Fast Bear and Yellow
Hair, Sioux Indians. arrived here on the
oath, this being the first delegation Of this
kind Of. the season. Red Cloud and his
retinue are expected here next week, when
Z "big talk will be held with the White
Father" The visit OF these chiefs has
caused the President to order the suspen.
sion of operations by the Big Horn expedi-
ton until the conference has been held, ~
the policy Of the President on the Indian
question 10 expected to be advanced by the
suppression Of emigration upon the unceded
lands now occupied BY the Indians, and
there 10 strong hope and prospect by the
Indian Bureau that amicable relations will
be effected BY the approaching conference,
although Spotted Tail has expressed him
self - doubtful ~ to the spirit Of Red
Cloud towards peace.
THE sAx DOMINGO TREATY .a
IL still In the mill. II Is said the President
will adhere to his action heretofore upon
this matter, and will furnish to the Senate
additional information regarding Il. The
importance of this treaty to the Admin.
istration calls for more explicit knowledge
and the people should be well posted on it,
provisions and prospective advantages.
THE FENIAN BUBBLE
has busted. O'Neil In prison-his follow
ers disheartened. The prompt action Of our
Government towards the suppression Of this
unwise raid upon our neighbors-the proc
lamation declaring that no protection would
be given to those who might suffer BY their
uuwarrantcd action and illegal conduct
are commendable, and meet the appreciation
of both our own people and the British L.
CATION. We cannot afford 70 sanction the
violation Of neutrality laws, in view Of cir
cumstances now existing between the two
Governments, however much our sympa-
thies may favor the anelloration Of the Em.
erald islanders. "-r -" .0@.@A
BRIGHAM CHALLENGES.
The sermon Of the Rev. Dr.. Newman Of
this city, delivered . few weeks since, on
polygamy, has called out challenge from
Brigham Young TO the Doctor for N open
discussion at Salt Lake city, upon this sub.
ject. The challenge has been accepted and
the contest u "a come slf In August We
slall look for ssms rich, rars and spicy talk
upen that occasion, - Brigham seems dis.
