WASHINGTON, D. c., March /.
THE APPROPRIATIONS.
The appropriation bills are in better condi-
ton tonight, and there is hope that they will
be worried through before noon of Saturday.
The principal danger is that the senate will over
load the omnibus bill, and that disagreemt Mt
between the two houses may occur at so late an
hour as to defeat it.
A PERNICIoUs SYSTEM.
The house voted more money to day to con-
testants in election cases. In one case, S25OO
was voted to gentleman, who simply claimed
that congress should have passed an act giving
his state an additional representative; in an
other, $4,000 was voted for the expenses in con-
test. Several thousand more will be voted in
the same way before the adjournment on Satur-
day.
THE HOUSE.
The house has been at work nearly all day
upon the business on the speakers table, on the
unanimous agreement of yesterday that two
thirds vote should be required to pass one these
bills. All important bills, SO far, have failed,
though a few important to individuals got
through lils SdultIcts IHt houSC was 81 siSh
of this slow business, that, on motion of MIR.
Washbum, of Massachusetts, at an early hour,
it adjourned, which was the best thing it could
do
THE NEXT CONGRESS.
The house will adjourn over from Saturday
to Tuesday Or Wednesday, when the committee
on elections will be announced. Should the
house order any other important committee to
be announced, the speaker will announce them
all. The prospects of session of considerable
length are strong. If the two houses once get
started in business, it will be hard to stop.
Prominent republicans would like 10 confne
business to the one subject Of southern outrages,
but the democrats don't mean to allow that. If
congress sits long they will insist on bringing
up the tariff and taxation. Among the new
members of the next house on the floor this af-
ternoon was Mr.. Shcllabarger, of Ohio, who dis
tnguishcd himself in the 39th and 10th congress.
He is one of the ablest men elected to the next
congress, and will have a prominent place on
the committees. He was welcomed by many of
his old friends, who have remained in congress
ince he was in it. SAM WELLER.
