WASHINGTON.
Especial to the st. Louis Globe. |

nent Republicans are denOnncing Dix and
predicting big row before Congress adj
,journs between East and West. Gov. Nor
ton is reported as preparing speech in
reply to such indications as Sargeant's
speech and Dix's message.
Some predict that the free bank ing bill
now pending will be adopted, and SO the
Senate bill will not be acted upon. The
President has certainly expressed an ohj.c-
ton to the Senate bill before it passed
| Gen. Garfield had conversation with him
to that effect, but there is little expectation
that the bill will be vetoed.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE MOUTH OF THE MIS-
slSSIPPI.
| WASHINGTON, April THE Senate Com
nittee will adopt Capt. Eads's jetty bill to-
night. The members of the committee are
said to be unanimous OH the subject. For
shey and Hebert, the great scientific lights
of the canal scheme, have been driven from
every position they assumed before the
committee by Capt. Eads, and have finally
taken refuge behind the mud Jumps. Yes
| terday they covered every desk i'll the
House and Senate with a handbill headed,
Mud Lump Blockade at the Passes-No
Relief but the Canal" but this grand stroke
of policy would not win. From present in
dications, the letters seem most decidedly
ahead. Intelligence received here i'll New
Orleans is strongly opposed to this.
EXTRACTION TREATY WITH BELGIUM.
In the executive session of the Senate to-
day the proposed eXtraditiOn treaty be-
| tween Belgium and the United States was
read and placed upon the calendar.
THE CURRENCY BILL.
| The initiation bill passed by the Senate
Yesterday was reported to the House to-
day. and was referred to the Ways and
| Means Committee 1t is expected that an
effort will be made in the Honse to substi-
tute the Senate bill for the one now under
discussion in the House. Should this not
be done prior to Monday next, it is pur-
| posed to try to pass the Senate bill under
suspension OF the rules. There was good
deal of sarcasm IN the brief remarks of
Senator Sherman to-day. He reported back
and asked that the Committee on Finance
be discharged from further consideration of
number of bills and petitions relating to
financial matters, remarking. as he did so,
that the action of the Senate yesterday had
covered all the legislation proposed in
them.
Especial to the Co rie~-Journall
FREE BANKING.
WASHINGTON, April THE House of
Representatives. to-day continued the dis
cussion of the free banking bill. There are
indications that the debate will be brought
to a speedy conclusion. The general opinion
is that the pending bill can pass the House
by large majority; but there is strong
disposition to lay 1t aside and take up the
bill passed by the Senate on yesterday.
VIEWS OF THE PRESIDENT.
The last is deemed a more certain measure
of relief to the States having Il deficiency
of bank circulation, and is less likely to
provoke an executive veto than the free
banking law.
There is no doubt that the pressure of the
money power OF the East has been brought
to bear most strongly upon Grant to BRING
about veto of the Senate bill, and it is
known that he prepared, some time ago, a
r.essage to Congress, embodying the ideas,
maxims and cant phrases in favor of con-
traction and resumption OF specie payment,
which are so popular among Eastern Repub-
LEANS For some reason this document was
not sent in, but its preparation confirms the
general opinion that the strongest influences
with Grant are the rich men of New York
and Philadelphia. 1t is by no means certain
that he will not veto the Senate bill, though
his action can not be positively predicted on
any question:.
SUBJECT OF CONGRATULATIONS.
The Connecticut and Western elections
have been Il general subject If congratula-
ton to-day among the Democrats in Con-
grass, and are varonsly explained by the
Republicans. One of their most prominent
officials ex plains the Connecticut election by
the recent Sanborn and Jayne developments.
Gen. Hawley more frankly avows that he
cannot understand it at all The hope is
freely expressed among prominent Demo
Gratis that Mr.. Barnum, who is known pro-
tectionist, will not be sent to the Senate.
OHIO.
CINCINNATI. April 1.-The Gazette, refer
ring to the causes of the Republican defeat,
says the old liberal Republican element.
which last autumn separated from the De-
mocracy, united with their old ally, also
that the entire anti temperance interest of
the city was arrayed against the Republi-
cans On the other hand, the temperance
people took no particular interest i'll the
campai On.
The Enquirer says: awhile we accord
the Democracy fullest measure of praise for
this result, we are not unmndtul of the fact
that they were greatly strengthened by the
moderate Republicans who rebelled against
the fanaticism which is attempting to regu
late tho personal affairs of citizens"
EFFECTS OF CRUSADlNG.
DAYTON, April notwithstanding the
fact that the Democracy were jubilant over
their victory over the crusaders and were in
no humor to endure saloon prayer, the
leaguers repaired TO the curbstones to-day
and continued their efforts. The result was
what should have been anticipated they
were surrounded at ROff's saloon by bOis-
ferrous rabble and grossly insulted. knife
was brandished, pistols displayed, and riot
was so imminent that the police commits
sioners were obliged to interfere and re-
quest the women to retire from the streets.
The rabble used the fouleSt language and
utterly stitled song and prayer, by uproar-
ious hO"ting.
The Police Commissioners requested the
women to appear no more On the streets
during the day, and will request the Mayor
to issue a proclamation against the present
mode Of crusadng. because it tends to dis
turb the public peace. The Democratic tri-
umph is regarded by them as a popular con-
domination of crusading, and it is probably
ended in Dayton.
LATER DISPATCH.
The Mayor and Police Commissioners
have directed double-shotted gun at the
