Washington special to Louisville Courier
journal: There il good deal Of comment in
the senate cleak rooms over the relations exist.
ahg between Senators Window and Sherman,
she TWO ex-secretaries of tho treasury, who are
now senators There WAS from tho time Sher-
nah intfoouced 5 per cent. funding bill
some little GOODNESS between Window and Sher-
man. siiermanl advised Window, when the
iatter entered upon the Office OF sec, etary OF
me treasury, to continue the fives snd skies at
512 per cent. He urged that he take such &C
uon, but tho very first thing he did when the
senate met was to introduce 3 Der cent bill
and to criticise WiEdom's financial policy
Window, naturally did not 'iko tl,is, especially
ae IT came from Sherman: During the course
ct tho debate Of the funding bill in tho senate.
the coolness between Sherman and Window
Increased; it finally got so that Window thought
1t best not to have anything to do with Sher-
man, 80 the two do not now speak The fact
shat both Of them have the idea that there is
within their composition much presidential
timber adds great deal Of piquancy to the
n-existence OF verbal relations between
them.
Prof: Greener, as attorney for Louis Simp-
son of Washington, has fled with the secretary
OF war an affidavit Of Simpson, reciting Simp-
ker court OF inquiry in April, 1880. It is al
legged that Simpson was arrested st the same
time he was subp9naed. before he had chance
to obey the subpoena; that he was hurried to
west Point by order Of Maj. Thomas Barr,
judge advocate, United States army: that his
apartments were ransacked and his private pa
pers takan and never returned: that his rights
as an american citizen were unnecessarily yio-
lated; that his arrest WAS illegal aud arbitrary
frof Greener asks the opinion as to the legal
10y OF Inc arrest, and for such redress az is
proper.
There was in the senate just before adjourn
ment on tuesday g test vote on a colleratera!
question, which showed that the Edmunds anti
polygamy bill has q majority. All the republi

The probabilities are that the bill will pass the
senate as it has the house, and bo Signed bv
the president. Then the houee elecIons COM
mlttce will report iu favor of Cannon's admis-
f1on, and that subsequently an effort will be
made to expel him. Should he be unseated he
would be re-elected Should he be expelled expelled he he
Wonid not be: 1t is doubtful whether two
tslfds OF tho honses world vote to expel Can
non.
In an interview Gen. Sherman said ho
could see no indication of an Indian war any,
where, and that beyond the usual disturbances
eacn spring, resulting from the Indians being
inactive during all the winter months he did
not apprehend any trouble It ia Gen. Sher-
mans oplnlon that bad white men arc more to
pane Tor the disturbances that occur than the
ln@ans, who are held responsible, and usually
severely punished. The general evidently he.
iieves It is cheaper to feed the Indians than to
ngnt them, and the fact that the troops on tho
frontier are Mt called upon to punish warlike
Tribes affords him great satisfaction.
In answer to a suggestion that he might be-
some candidate for the presidency, David
Davis said: my ambition that way is gone. I
am old, and would not accept nomination il
rendered. "Why, Judge, said, ''you do not
took TO be s'xty years OF age, and are a hale
ana hearty man" He rejo,ned "Well, that
may 20 20; bnt am sixty seven years old, and
tne machine is not what it used to bo l am
not q candidate, and will not be.
The full extent of the anti-polygamy bill
passed by the senate seems 10 meet the approv-
a!of those best acquainted with tho wants of
Utah. MIR. Campbell, the anti-polygamy con-
testant Gays it is satisfactory as far as it goes,
Judge Mcbride, Campbells counsel in tho con-
test case, stated emphatcally: 1T is not all
We want but it is decided step in advance and
will undoubtedly be followed by further legis
lahon." Wv
The president has refused to entertain the
charge specified by Gen. Wilcox against Gen.
Carr, who has accordingly been released from
arrest. While the president declined to order

lees disapproved of certain utterances Of Gen.
Carr as insubordinate. No further action will
be taken in the case
