WASHINGTON, January "a, 1879.
On the amendments Of the senate to the
COUNSELOR and diplomatic appropriation
bill the house yesterday yielded. 1t is al
most certain the house will yield to the
senate on the Indian appropriation bill
So far, at this session, it has given way to
the senate at all points. This is to be re-
GREETED, as every amendment Of the senate
is in the direction Of an increase of the
amount appropriated. 1t would be better
if the policy OF letting the senate have its
own way is to prevail. that the house APP
appropriation committee be directed TO draw
its bills unlcr Instructions from the senate.
That would prevent the otherwise inevi-
table fcclin. Of chayrin the members Of
that committee feel, after laboring hard
through the lrcoss and DAY and night dur
ing tn, session, at seeing themselves invari-
ably oveITuled.
The Army Appropriation bill will be re-
ported to the house to-day, and Burnsides
army reorganization bill will he the special
order in the senate There is, however, so
great n certainty that the latter bill can
not pass that the appropriation bill will
provide for the army as now organized.
The executive legislative and judicial bill
will be reported 10 the house Tomorrow.
On this extended debate may be expected
in both houses and unless the house Dem
ocrats have lost all courage they will resist
the efforts sure 70 b, made by the senate
to add to the sums agreed upon by the very
able and faithful house committee on appro-
priations.
Much comment is made on the fact that
of the five Republican senators elected dur.
ing this week, four are pronounced Grant
and third term men. These are Conkling
Cameron, Carpenter and Logan. There il
also, now, some prospects that Pomeroy vii
be elected in Kansas, and he, as i,
known, was one of the earlies
third termers. What Plat, of Conn.
favors is not known here, but if no
for Grant he will feel lovely among the late
" elected senator's. Ii is of no use to sd,
that these facts do not show strong feel
ing, inside the Republican party for Grant
They do show such feeling and in state,
which will have powerful influence in the
Republican nominating convention,
To-day the senate committee on com
mercc will decide whether or not it vii
recommend the confirmation Of Mr.. Hayes
nominations for places in the n, y. Custom
House. Senator Conkling is confident Of al
adverse report from the committee, and o
rcjectionby the senate, Yesterday, in TIN
committee, replies were read from the dis
placed officials to the charges made Ogains
them by the administration. There is nov
a prospect that the Democratic Senator
will be divided on the subject, and tina
enough Of them will favor the nomination
to secure continuation.
The most important undertakings hav
small beginnings. When Mrs. Elizabetl
Thompson opened her purse and called Oh
Dr. WJodworth to undertake an investiga
ton Of yellow Fever with u view to It's pre-
vcn,ion, few suspected that much pcrma
ncnt good might result. The fcem!
amongst well informed has changed. |
congress gives effect to the recommends
tons of the commission so ably presided
over by Dr. Woodwork barrier to the I'm
restrained tramps Of yellow fever will mos
certainly present itself The reirigcratinI
ship which Prof. Gamgcc has Designed
meeting wit, general approval and Mrs
Thompson, NC are told, is cxcrting herscl
in every way to have u prochcui und bcnc
fetal outconp to Nil tho efforts which hav,
been made a her instigation, congress WI
. be asked to appropriate $sco,OOO for, tn
