LII BY no means certain that the bill
passed on Monday night by the United
States Senate wIll become Q law. Il ID
now in the House for concurrence, and &
will require atWo.third vote 10 take It up
for action out Of ib regular place on the
calendar. There Is not . two.thirdS ms
jority in the House in favor Of It, 90 thai
tbe chances Tor q concurrence for an In
definite tune 70 come are doubtful. The
House mean time Is busy with ID bill ior
free banking, and may possibly reach q
vote on that measure before the Senate
bill can possibly come before 1t. And
since the Senate has shown itself on the
same side Of the currency question as tho
House, it is thought probable that the
Senate bill will not be taken up by the
House at all, but that 1t will origi.
nate and pass bill Of il own, subStan.
TALLY like the Senate measure, which
will then be passed over TO the Senate ioE
concurrence. Then, Il the bill receives
the approval Of the President, the ques-
ton will be finally settled. Those who
know the substance Of the Presidents
talk with Mr.. DRExEI. during his recent
visit to Philadelphia, are confident that
the bill as It now stands will be vetoed.
The end Of the currency uncertainty may
still be distant aud problematical.

In presenting the report Of the Board
Of Engineers who examined the propos-
Ell route Of the james River and Kama

sionS, which are as follows:
/. That 1t is entirely practicable TO con.
nect the waters Of the James and Ohio
rivers by water navigation oil seven feet
In depth. The tunnel that will be re.
CURED will be about the length OF the
Mount Gems tunnel, but It would 20
through rock very easily excaVated, and
could be driven from shafts Of moderate
height, and at distance seldom exceed.
Ing one mile.
2. That an ample water supply can be
commanded.
3. That the tunnel should be single
tunnel, with turnouts provided in suffl-
cient number 10 admit Of vessels passing.
4. That the proposed water line can Be
completed In six years, at q cost not ex-
ceeding 800 900 900, and that the cost may
reasonably be expected 10 be within $55,.
0oO, 0oO, and may possibly not exceed $780,.

Lastly, That, in the opinion Of this

MORTON AND his TROUBLES.

The Republicans in Indiana have rot their
legs tangled in tho Same way as their brethren
in Illinois by reason Of tie votes Of tl1oir Sem
ators and Representatives on tho imitation bill,
and the Presidents veto thereof. Accordingly.
ne are not surprised to l,oar that tho friends Of
Morton aud Pratt aro diligently canvassing tho
State to secure the election Of delegates to the
Republican Convention who will iudorse tho
course pursued by those Senators, aud thus in-
forentiaaiy condemn the veto. Nor is it unlikely
that tloy will succeed In the attempt. Their
prospects arc decidedly more hattering than
those Of Logan aud 0g1osby in Illinois, 1t may
10 safely assumed that the Republicans Of 1ndi-
ma arc with Morton on this question, and that
they will go, in thoir Convention, as far az Ao
shan himsolf udyiso. It is by no means certain
that tic Republicans Of Illinois agree with Logan
and Oglcaby, or TINT. il they do agrco with them,
they can be induced to Hay 80 in plain English.
It is much moro likely that they will ignore the
isaue entirely, or adopt Bome oquivocal resolu-
tion which will earn them tho contempt Of nil
mon who aro either earnestly in favor Of infla-
tion or earnestly opposed to it.
But Mr.. Morson'a policy contcmplates some-
thing moro than an Endorsement Of himself by
tho Indiana Convention. It ia plain that ho has
not abandoned tho idea Of carrying :" the West
and South" and also tho State OF ponnsyIyania,
in tho next National Republican Convention
carrying them on the issue Of currency imitation,
or "o1pansion, "-aB Ills friends prefer to call
it. Indeed, it is limited that no and they arc
prepared to pull down etho whole Ropub-
lican temple un1ess they can have their
way. Tho St. Louis Democrat las inti-
mated that such d calamity might happen

The bill to regulate tho practice Of United
