Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, ‘Wasuivaroy, March 8.-One of the worat abuses known to Congroes is tho habit of divid- ing up tho appropriations for specifloe objeots emong differont appropriation Dbills, For in- stanco, tho Indinn Appropriation bill is prepared oarly in tho senson, and ought to contain all the uppropriations for that branch of tho sorvico to ‘bo made during the yoar; but, if the amounnt of monoy appropriated in that bill oxcoods byn.con~ siderablo sum tho amount appropriated fu tho eimilar bill of tho year beforo, attention s at- tracted to iho fact, and tho justico of the in- crongo in likoly to bo inquired into. Tho praci tico, thorofors, is, if thero are soveral new n);— roprintions of considorable magnitudo that it osired to pnss, to divide thom up into sovoral bills, whoroe thero is loss dangor of thelr oxciting suspicion. The suudry Civil and De- flolency bills of this sossion contain striking illustrations of this sbuse, The Indian bill was largor than usual this year, and yet, whon the Bundry Civil bill came up, an sppropriation of £297,890,25 was put upon it, on tho recommonda- tion of the BSenate Indian Committes, to pay arronrs of intorost duo tho Chicknsnw Indisns, ‘undor tho treatios of 1832, This wae agreed to by the Bonato without a word of debato. Whon tho Doflcioncy bill came before the Bonate, it was found to be pretty heavily londed with Indian appropriations, In the ~first placo, there was ono of 81,660,600, to pay =a Chorolaa olaim for lands adid snothor of §300;- 500 for Bioux of differont trives, and for tho Indian oxponses in Californin, Utah, Novada, Dekota, aud Montana, £40,000; for the Menomo- nos tribo, $7,480; for tho Chippowss, £85,000, and for {ho Btookbridges, 9174618, Wwhich was erroncously covered into tho Tronsury. Whon thig bill camo into the Senate, tho Indian Com- mitteo was again on hand, '.l‘ho{ did not recom=~ mond to strilte out any of the large approprin- tions nlready putin by tho Houso, but added now oncs of their own. In tho flrst place, thoy induced tho Approprintfon Committeo to put in aunother mppropriation of tho same amount for the Chickasaw intorost claim, bosides $251,055,07 to roimburso the Creok m‘f)huu fund, and '$613,348 to pay tho Montans Indisn war claims, oro, thon, aro appropriations amount- ing to 83,608,216, thint ouglt to have beon put into tho origiual Indian or Army bill, and after all Harlan came in with an amondment to the Deflcionoy bill. Tho mannor inwhich the np!n*o- priations’aro mado this sossion for this District illustrates still furthor this vicious medo of logislation. In January, s Deflolency Approprintion ~ bill was phssod, giving this - District Govornmont = 31,350,000 for streot improvements in Washington. Two millions two hundred thousand moro was put on tho Bundry Civil Appropriations bill, boside gifty to several charitable institutions, and ©30,000 for the District Board of Henlth, and finally tho Inst Dofioloncy Dill glves tho Toard of Hoalth £80,800. Boventy-five thousand dollers aro also n{wpmpr!ntud for the ercction of n building for district officos, an oxponditure which the Market Company was bound to make, nud some furthor prosonts for charitablo institutions. Aside en- tirely from the justico of theso appropriations, ovorybody, who knowa anything about Congress, knows that they could pass nolther Houso wero thoy all put togother in one bill, A POMEROY. Tho majority report on the Pomom‘{ ceao dis- oppointed everybody, excopt the thick-and-thin partisang of tho ox-Kansas Senator. ‘Tho minor- ity roport, submitted by Judge Thurman, how- evor, rolioved tho Committes from the imputa~ tion that its Rurposo vas simply Lo whitowash him, Thero boing no resolution on which iho Bonato can nct, of course, Pomeroy will be alloivod togo oub with just such o record as tho evidenco makes for bim, It is stated that ho will now ugo his influence to have Caldwell ox- pelled, so that he may bo s candidate himsclf for ho vacancy. ASBISTANT TREASURERS. Tho Sonnte, to-dny, ngreed to an_amondment to the Sundry Civil bill, which vrovideu for the ;}rpomtmtmt of two Assistant Treasurers of tho nitod Staton, to bo located st Cincinnati and Chicago, #aid ofiicials to havo their headquartors in tho custom-houses of tho respective citios, and to pssumoe the oustody of the public_moneys bolonging to the United States, Vho salarics of theso ofticials is placed at ©5,000 per annum. ‘An immediate appropriation of $5,000 is made to fix up temporary quarters for their accommo- dation. OLAYTON When tho Powoll ClnYlon case comos up for considoration, which will probably be in the ox- ocutive sossions of tho Senate, after the dth of Narch next, Sonstor Norwaod, in bohalf tho minority of tho Investigating Commiltee, will offer n substitute to the majority roport, to tho offect that Oloyton's soat be deolared vacant. Ar. Norwood ia preparing o spooch on the re- ort, in which ko will endeavor to establish that ho canvags which resulied in Clayton’s clection is unparallelod in tho history of "tho ‘‘ Carpet~ bag " States, and that the Benato cannot nf- ford to nflw refuge to s momber oloctod under such painful circumstances. TO-DAY'S PAGEANT. It big crowds, flaring bunting, brass-bands, aquadrons of cavalry, Drigades of infantry, bat- tories of artillory, and cadets in gray aud cadots in bluo, with a thousand auspicious clreum- stancos, which promiso abuidantly, can make the socond inauguration of QGon.

Amos, administratrix of tho ostato of Horatio Amos, deceased, vs. Oalkes and Oliver Amos; smount 'claimod, 359,000, with intorest for one your; and the same wvs. William H, Barnum; amount olaimed, 65,600, with intorest. It may bo remombored that Horatio Amos had o claim against tho Navy Dopartmont for castiron cannon used in experimenting at Tort Monroo, for the paymont of which an g {fopr}nuon 'was made, Pending ity sottlomenl oratio Amos died. His widow wag appointed administratrix of tho ostate, and aseuch de- manded that the monoy bo paid to her, filing tho mnocossary ovidonco that sho waa enti- tled to recoivo it. Onkes and Olivor Amos thon came forward, pretonding to be tho true roprenentatives of tho ostate of thoir docensed brother, and induced the Buumtn{{ of tho Navy to suspend psymentto her, untii tho courts should decido betwaon thom ond the widow. _Bubsoquently, and whilo the quostion was ponding in thecourts of Connootiout, Onkes Ames preacntod to Robeson a lotier written by the COhicf Justico of the Buprome Court of that Btate, an!lmg forth that there was no doubt Onkos and Oliver Ames wora the truo ropre- sontatives of tho estate, and the Court would so docido upon such warrant as this. Yielding to the importunitios of Oakes Ames, Mr. Robeson nid him tho money, Notwithstapding the opin- on of the Chiof Justico, tho Court decided to tho contrary, deolaring n favor of tho widow., tho plaintiff in tho above causcs. This left Mr, Robeson in rathor an _a\{nl.vmuuln position, Oakos and Ollyer rofused to roturn tho monoy, and tho Becratary was pub to his mottlo to ar- range the mattor to the satisfaction of Mra. Amos, A sottloment, howover, was made, by which sho recovered a portion of the monoy, 1n consid- oration of looking to Onkes and Oliver for tho remaindor, 69,000, The sulb ngainet Wm, XL O arnum,.n resident of Connoctiout, is explainod by the fact that Amos turned this monoy over to him, immodiutoly on ite receipt from the Gov- ernment.

In comsidering the atatoment of .

Pomeroy mny have dosired, in view of tho coming elaction, to conciliate York by showing him that Lo was as- elating his friond Pago, by showing him that he wns aiding him in cstablishing o bank in his town, and by roposing confldonce in him; but oven the mlfigostlnuo this improper motive in not a satisfactory answer to these questions. Thoro aro also some discrepaucies botween tho statoments of Pomoroy sud Page, such o8 to whether it was in the mornivg or in the pftor- noon of Monday that Pago last called on Pome- roy.

BENATOIt TUURMAN'S OTINION. The following aro the views of Senator Thur- man: = ‘I eannot agreo with tho report of the mn~ jority of the Committoe. I thinlk that the tes- timony proves & corrupt offor by Pomeroy to Benator Shnpson, of tho Kansay Leglslaturo, to obtain the voto of tho labter. I nlso beliove that the testimony convicts Pom- eroy of laying aitompied to. bribo Sou- ator York, of that Logialature, to vote for him. That Pomeroy delivered tho moncy to York is not donicd. T'lio only material issuo be- tween thom iy, for what pmfiouu was the monoy glvnn? York gnys it was a bribe for his vote, Pomeroy saya it was handed to York to carry to one Pago, whom Pomoroy had promised to g~ gist instarting o Notional Bank, In my judfi- mont, tho statomonty of Pomeroy on this sub- jout ‘oxo contradictory; aro inconsistent with Pago’s statements; are so opposed to the noual olrqumstances ntionding business transnotions, and are so'improbable, especinlly in view of tho circumslances attonding tho Henatorinl elec- tion, thnt rolianco cannot bo placed upon thom, Porcoiving no good remult from an olabornto statoment as to tha testimony and rorgona that bring mo to theso concluslons, I rofrain from making such o statemont. Wero thore titne for the Soneto to consider the subject fully, T should feol it my duty to give at lnri;n the Yensons for my convictious, but this is the tho last dny of the session and of Pomoroy’s Sonatorial form, and boforo the roports can be printod, much Toss considored, tho sossion will o at anond.
