From Washington.
THE CURRENCY.

The senate having, on Friday Of last week,
passed the compromise" currency bill that
had been cooked up by the conference com
mittee, even Sherman, Howe, Gilbert and
Scott specie resumptionists, voting for it 'to
save the party" it was hoped the house On
Saturday would promptly agree to the meas
ure and thus end the unpleasant wrangle.
The bill meant imitation, but on so moderate
Il scale, that it was thought the President
could not have it in his heart to veto it. But
on sounding the president on Friday night il
was found that if the house passed the bill
veto was inevitable. The virtuous republi-
cans of that body were persuaded the party
would never be able to survive second veto
on the currency question, and so, or coming
to a vote, the house killed the bill. This, il is
believed, ends all efforts TO tinker the
currency" at this session.
Al PRESS GAG LAW.
The merciless exposure Of the corruptons
and delinquencies of high officials at Wash
ington by the press finally drove the virtuous
Carpenter and Conkling to such it of des-
peration that they introduced bill in the
senate last week, and actually had it passed,
under the innocent title Of "a bill TO regulate
the removal of causes from the state 10 the
United States courts" by which any newspa
per publisher in the L. s., for any real or
imaginary SANDER or abuse of member OF
congress or other official at Washington,
could be sued IN Washington city court and
dragged to that city and imprisoned to await
his trial. The "alien and sedision laws" that
covered the administration of the elder
Adams with lnfamy was no comparison IN
atrocity of this measure. Happily the house
strangled it promptly On its appearance
there.
CHoCTAw GRAB.
One of those old claims, reeking with cor
ruption, like the Fisher claim, ChOrpenning
claim, &C, is an old Choctaw claim tor lands
claimed to have belonged TO that tribe OF In
dians but which the government sold. Very
curiously, after having rejected the claim
time and again, the house last Saturday vot-
ed to pay it, amounting to $2,33O,OOO' under
the thin disguise of an Item" in the sun
dries" appropriation bill. 1t is hoped the
senate well promptly put its foot on this steal.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
The civil service reform farce has finally
PLAYED out. The committee that had 1t IN
keeping on Monday reported resolution
not to recommend any further appropriations
mr. governments in the so.Called civil service
reform IN the manner in which 1t mas Deeh
