TREATIES.
The Senate and House have reached a dead-
lock upon the question as to the extent Of their
respective powers In regard to treaties.
The Issue has been raised over
the Indian Appropriation bill. The Conference
/ Committee consisted Of Senators Morrill,,
Harlan, and Davis, and Representatives Sargent,
Beck, and Clark. Each set OF managers stood up
| stouty for It's particular house, and members Of
each opposed the claims Of the other, when the
report OF the disagreement was made In each
branch; and so far IS indicated by the short de-
bates, there no disposition to yield by either,
| and new committee ~aa ordered. The House
managers, for the purpose OF saving the bill, pro
rosed as compromise that the same suus
named By the Senate for each tribe, as due under
The treaties, should be appropriated anu placed
! In the hands OF the President, to be
expended for their benefit IN such ways as he
might deem best, avoiding theuse Of terms TO show
TINT the sum was paid to carry out the treaty stp
ulation. The managers on the part OF the Senate,
however, refused to yield, and the conference
broke up. There is much feeling In both branches
upon the matter.
