THE general appropriation bills are
now ready and will be taken up at once
in congress, TO the exclusion OF other
bills. 50 that several days may elapse
beyond the day set before the debate
upon the funding bill Is entered upon.
Meanwhile the opinion is gaining some
ground among members that 81 per
cent. Is the proper rate Of interest for
the new bonds to bear, and aside from
a few ultra-greenbackers, no serious
opposition to the passage Of the bill is
an~ticinated.

THE house committee will probably
report In favor OF the passage Of Has

ment OF a standing commission OF
three army officers 10 investigate and
report to congress on the justice Of
claims that are constantly being sent In
for damages on account Of Indian dep
relations. These claims cannot 90 10
courts because OF the peculiar circum-
stances involving most OF them. and 80
they come to congress, and congress Ii
compelled eithe. TO deny them altogeth-
er or pay them on testimony that Is
purely ex-parte. Among other cases Of
this kind Is that OF Ben Holiday, the
famous overland route" man, who
lost horses. barns, forage and other
property amounting TO half u million
dollars, by an Indian raid, and whose
claim has been before congress for ten
years, and the expression has been re-
ported favorably from the committee on

conviction that Sherman will be nomi-

while the settlement OF his accounts

II seems to be substantially admitted
now ON all hands that the practices Of
Seward during his oficial career In

long ago, but the executive department
has thought proper TO await the result
Of the investigation set on foot by the
house Of representatives. 1t having been
argued by Stewards friends that be could

subsequently that the house should
either report that the charges were not
sustained or else proceed 10 impeach

tigating committee, however. take the
ground that II Is not desirable, and
should not be necessary, 10 push their
proceedings further in the case, because.
while the evidence already taken may
not be sufficient TO secure Stewards
conviction on an impeachment trial,
they claim that his guilt has been un-
mistakably established by his refusal to
produce his books.
