In the House to-day, after the morning hour,
the indian Appropriation bill was taken up as 1t
came from the Senate, with sundry amendments.
The entire amount appropriated by the House was
. little over $1,3O0,0O0. The Senate, in
at OF unusual economy. reduced the amount
some 100000. Sargent, who had charge
Of the bill In the House, moved to non-concur
In the Senate reduction, and showed very clearly
that the Senate knew nothing about the require
ment Of the Indians. while he (Sargcnt) was
thoroughly acquainted with what ne calls the
'Ingins " their habits and wants. He said they had

they would devour our frontier settlers Beck, OF
Kentucky, ovcrhau.cd the Indian Bureau In his own
vigorous and practical manner, and stigmatized
number OF its employees as lot OF vampires and

without q purpose, and he never aban-

their injustice. After this was disposed Of the bill
for the admission Of Colorado was again taken up
and discussed pro and con by Messrs. Dunnell and
Wood, Of New York. who spoke ably In favor OF it,
and Messrs Speer and Claggett against it. The
latter took advantage Of the discussion to deliver
very fierce philippe against Utah; and his erpose
Of Brigham's spiritual and political des-

House, and if half OF what he said is true
and his statements were not denicd-then indeed
there Is trouble ahead for Uncle Sam in that pOr-
ton OF his domlnions. The Colorado bill will be
MP again In the morning hour, when 1t will receive
Its quetus, as the House Is heartily sick of it and
will certainly bury it for this Congress- The gen.
eral opinion among Congressman seems to be that
there are too many now In the Senate OF the men

there from the Territories.
Eulogies were delivered in the House on the late
Congressman Strong, from Connecticut, by Repre-
sentatives Hawley and Kellogg Of Connecticut, and
Hams, Of Virginia. After adopting suitable reso-
buttons Of respect and regret the House adjourned.

Colfax is not cowed. Witness after witness may
add TO the chain of testimony that proves
his perjury, but he stands defantly
at bay and asserts his innocence The
evidence given to-day, which showed his having

disposed to aid this whitewashIng operation by
taking the reputation OF its presiding oicer Of
the clutches Of the House committee and placing it
tendery in the hands Of sympathizing Senators.
Should Patterson attempt to lOrestall action on
his case and ask for such committee he will get it
1t once, for he, being Senator, can be expelled,
