HOUSE.


WASHINGTON, April 2s, 1876.
The Speaker laid before the House the
decision Of Chief Justice Carter, discharg-
ing from custody Hallett Kilbourn.
THE INDIAN DEPARTMENT.
Mr. Seelye made point Of order on
section a, which transfers the Indian Blu
reau from the Interior Department &c
the War Department. He argued that
it contradicted the rule adopted on the
17th Of January, 1876, "Nor shall any
provision in any such bill or amendment
thereto, changing an existing law, be in
order, except such as being germain to
the subject matter Of the bill shall re-
trench expenditures" This was a change
Of an existing law and while he did not
raise the point Of order that Il would be
manifest extravaganza and an increase OF
expenditure, although he believed it
would be, he submitted it was not
maniiestly for retrenChment OF expendi-
lures and was not german to the appro-
priation bill.
A long DISCUSSION followed, in which
the Republicans argued in favor Of the
point and the Democrats, except Mr.. Cox,
against it.
The Speaker decided against his own
party friends and sustained the point Of
order and ruled out the section.
The section transferring the Indian
bureau from the Interior Department
to the War Department was therefore
struck out Of the bill, and then the bill
was passed, yeas-2CS, nays-17.
The House then voted on the amend
ments to the Legislative Appropriation
bill. All the amendments on which 4
separate vote was not asked were agreed

The first amendment on which vote
was taken was one offered by Mr.. Hurl-
but, OF Illinois, increasing the cOmpcnsa-
tion ofTcrritorial Judges from S2,6OO to
