The Ute Chief Ouray has been IN
the city for some days and has had
frequent conferences with the Secro-
L
tary of the Interior. He has confess
ed his inability to deliver over to JUS
tice the murderers aud .sravisherH of
the Meeker family, but proposes TO
select q ban0 of his own tribe ana
hunt to death the malefactors. Hs
dpurecates the idea that his whole
race should suffer for the outrages
committed by a few. It is not the
policy of Secretary Schnrz to hurry
the matter, but to delay, ii possible,
to secure surrender of the guilty In
dians, until the weather shall favor
military operations.
The Evening Star Of yesterday said,
and, / think, correctly, that. while
there might be financial discussion
during this session of Congress, there
would probably be no financial legis-
latiou.; that the desire for sn early
adjournment WAS general, aud that
Representative Woods 81 per cent.
bond bill was gaining favor. l am
able to say, iu relation to Mr.. Woods
bill, that it has the support OF tinan-
cial men of tie very highest standing,
and that Mr.. Wood will, during the
discussion Of the subject, place. before
the House assurances sufficient to coH-
vince any one that his proposed bond
can be negotiated at par. 1n the Sem
ate last Tuesday, MIR. Morrill,, cup
porter of Secretary ..Shernan's four
per cent. bin, introduced the follow
lug resolution:
Rcsolved, That the Committee on FL
nance be instructed to inquire NJ to the
practicability of refundlng any part OF
the national debt at = less rate than four
per cent interest, and also IS to whether
or not some effective provision can be
made whereby bona fae subscriptions for
sums in moderate amounts may be made
available, and report by bills or other
wise.
Representative Henclle yesterday
submitted to the House y resolution
of the corporation Of Annapolis, Md,
favorable to the erection, by the gen.
eral government, Of a monument to
Baron De kalb. I hope that Congress
will make tho necessary approprla-
tiou-not a large one-for the pur-
pose. The Baron's distinctionias q
soldier in tho American army was
won .iu war iu which all sections
participated, and the results Of which
ne all enjoy to day. The more OF
>uch men we honor the better for the
country.
1t now seems probable that bribery,
etc, can not be proved against Sena-
tor Ingalls, of Kansas in c"uDectioB
witl, his last elcc,i6n. =. he viii. keep
his seat. The Louisiana case-kel-
sogs's-drags its slow 'eEgth along IN
the Committee GU Elections. PIOba-
uly, iu the sea uf lies sworn to1in this
case, the committee will be..unable to
tiud any satisfactory proof that Sen
ator Was elected at all.
The House yesterday resumed dis
cussion upon the .atpended rules, the
question still being OH the adoption
OF the change by which the Appropri-
alton Committee is authorised TO pass
upon the River and Harbor bill. OPP
position to any further concentration
uf power in the hands Of this commit
tee is very strong. Still, l think there
is u clear najority III favor of the rules
as amended. SENTINEL.
