Wilson'S Wickedaess.
In view of the published expressions
of Yaryan the president has been anx-
ious, for his own protection, to get pos
session of the original of the Let no
guilty man escape'' letter. Bluford
Wilson informed the President, it is
reported, that it was on file at the of
flee of the Solicitor Of the Treasury, but
it could not be found. Last evening the
late Solicitor had three cases sealed up
and directed to Bluford Wilson, Spring
field, Illinois. 1t was reported to the
President this morning that several tel
egrams in the whiskey cases were miss
ing, and that Wilson had had many
copies of important documents made,
and they too were missing. The Presi-
dent directed Secretary Morrill, to have
the cases opened in the presence of
Wilson. This was done in spite of his
protests, and the letter so anxiously de-
sired by the President and copies Of I'M
portant papers bearing upon the whis-
key frauds were found.
Wilson in future'will be allowed no
access to public documents except by
consent of department officials.
Financial FliJustering.
The Houses. early adjournment to-
day not only prevented action on the
mining committees silver bill to-day,
but probably throws, it over till next
week, with greatly diminished prospects
of its passage. The special assignment
of to-morrow's session for the consider
alton of the naval committee reports on
Robson and the p~endencyof the contest
ed election ease as unfinished business,
together with the fact that tomorrow
and Saturday, under the rules, are pri.
vate bill days, will, it is believed, render
~unavailing any attempt Ito call up the
silver billvthis7 week. On Monday. if
not overweighted by the adoption OF
Holman's amendment partially repeal
ing the specie resumption act, it has a
chance of passage under suspension OF
the rules, as Kelly's similar bill for the
revival of the old silver dollar lacked
only sever votes of a two thirds major.
ity last Monday, but if it awaits the
morning hour of Tuesday, Garfield and
other prominent opponents of the meas
ure intend to try to filibuster it over
until the next morning hour and so on
until the session ends. They are to-day
confident that they can succeed by these
tactics in preventing its passage by any
vote other than t%wo-thirds this session
and they believe two-thirds cannot be Sc.
cured.
Il Prospect.
There is a prospect of an early COM
promise on the Indian appropriation
bill. If the Senate shall refuse to take
up for consideration the House bill
solely because Of the section proposing
the transfer of the Indian bureau from
the Interior to the War Department,
the House will recede from that part of
the Indian appropriation bill providing
for such transfer. This obstacle re-
moved the question will be of easy
adjustment, but will require 800, 900
to be added to the appropriation.
