Wasmsaroy, D. C., Feb. 20.—The action of the Senato this aftornoon onght o convince the most skeptical of the ntter uncertainty of the white man. He is very much like t4e Irisbman’s flea,—when you thisk you have him, he is not thore.

The bill will probably be reported to the House to-morrow. THE ABMY DILL. The Sonate Appropriation Committee partially considered the Arwy bill to-day. There seoms to be an awakening in the Scoate to the fact which haa beon so apparent to the House, that the demands of the people for retrenchment are inot merely idlo clamor, and the smoudments ‘suggested by the Committee to the bill are but few, and of an immaterial character. Tha proba- bilities aro that the bill will be faverably report- €d to the Seoate in nearly the samo shape as it passed the House. The Senate have not boen underatood as acquiescing in the desire to re- trench, orin tho balief that it is necessary, and tnisdecided indication of an economical frame of mind on their part is very gratifying. e iy IRTERNAL REVENUE.

C., Feb. 20.—The Senate Public Lands Committes agreed to-day to rec- ommond the passage of o bill extending till De- cember, 1876, the time for the completion of the ‘Wisconsin Central Railroad. Unless this exton- sion is granted, the road will lose a valuable body of lands covered by its grant. As the law etands, the time in which the road must be built expires in May next. WABHINGTON HARBOR. Among other modest requests before Congress is one asking for an appropriation of $2,(:0,000 for the improvement of Washington Harbor. This is supposed to be urged on the ground that the commerce of this port is excoedingly im- portant. No other port in the country asks so large an appropriaticn. The Zrening Star sagely announces that it is the prevailing im- pression that the demand will pot_probably be favorably received this session, or, if at all, that the sum will be materially reduced. WASHINGTON & POINT LOOKOUT BATLBOAD. Quito & lively debate was had in the House to- dsy over the bill to grant a charter to the Wash- ington & Point Lookout Railroad, and two or three points of interest were made. First, it was observed that by some sort of a coincidence, five Penneylvanis members wero sctive aud vig- ilant in opposing the bill. Whea it was inti- mated, however, that they were acting 1n Tom Scott's interests, they denied it so indignantly a0d significantly that the ineinuation was at aie Y 4 x once abandoned. Hale, of Asine, made they imagine their exultation was 80 800z | a good point when he called atten- to be turned to eorrow, and bit- | tion to the peculiar pature of tho torness * to Bl their cup of joy. | Privilegos asked by tho Company.

The con- testants of Thursday came into tho Senate to- day—the resumptionists smiling and confident, the inflationists dotermined and hopeful. MERRIMON'S SCHEME. Light skirmishing was indulged in for a fow minutes, when Mr. Merrimon opened with his heavy battery, and for an hour had things pretty the wounded and par- The North much to himself, alyzed only remnining to listen. Carolinian having oxpended all his sm- munition, Mr. Morton, wheee bodily infirmi- ties provented him from rotreating, fired a few shots which brought back the stragglers, and in- duced a reply from s heavy battery on the side commanded by Senstor Conkling. ~The rest of ose to come into the city by o bridge across the %ut Branch of the Potomac, below the navy- yard. The projected line then runs across the city, striking the river at the foot of Fourteenth street, thence up the margin of the river to_the head of navigation in_Georgetown. Mr. Hale showed that, 1f granted this priviloge, the Com- pany would bo enabled to lay their track on piles-driven = little distance from the shore; that they would fill in botween terra firma and ‘their track, whereby thoy would ac- quire some valuable real estate, besides nearly the whole river-front of the city, except that along the East Branch. This would give thera about 2 miles of river-front in = part of the city where it would prove of great valuo if the com- merce of the harbor should ever come to be im- portant.

INFLATION. Boforo having reconsidered the vote by which the Cooper substitute was adopted on Thursdar, the inflationists by a vote of 28 to 25 adopted the Merrimon resolution to instruct the Committes on Finance to report a bill g}mmfing for an ex- pansion of the National Bank circulation to $400,000,000. The Senators who on_Thursdsy voted against the Cameron free-banking inflation scheme, bt supported tho Morrimon resolutions to-day, are Meassrs. Allison, Conover, Goldthwaite, McCree- Ty, and Merrimon. The Senators who supported the Cameron scheme, but absented thomeelves to-day, are Mossrs. Alcorn, Brownlow, Carpenter, Dennis, Wright, Windom, and Pease. The Senators who opposed the Cameron scheme, but who, bad they been in their seats to-day, would bave recorded their votes against Merrimon’s instructions, are Messrs. Hager, Ham"llton. of Maryland, and Morrill, of Ver- mout. Of those sbeent both Thursday and yesterday who would have voted yes on the Cameron and Merrimon propositions, arejMessrs. Dorsey, In~ galls, Lowis, and Ronsom ; and _against them would bo Messrs. Bayard, Edmunds, Ssulsbury, and Thurman. The result of two days’ voting, compled with expressions made both in public and_private, in- dicstes tho following as the conditions of the Senate on the question of inflation and resump- tion.

JUDGE STEELE'S DECISION, The following is the decision of Judge Steele, announced a¢ Hillsboro, O., to-day, dissolving the injunction againet the praying ladies and their tabernable songht by the druggists, Dunn sand Johnson, of that place: This is 2 motlon to dissolve the temporary Injune- tion. The groundsof the motion aro numerous, but we noticed only one as the one which wo_take, and that will render it unnecessary to examine the others, Does the petition show cause of action in favor of Jolinson and Dunn jointly, and does tho afdavit, ‘which ia nothing but s petition with its verification, authorize the allowance of a temporary injunction in fzvor of them jointly? Like Pharoah’s dreams, theso questions are one, and the interpretstion there- of one. When the plsintiff msy join, still the petition must show causo of action fn favor of each plaintia, and if it do pot, it is bad. Docs it do this as to Jobnson? As to him the petition alleges, first, that ho i3 owner of that ho'hza casement on tho high street upon whlch the premiscs are situate; third, that dcfendant erected and caused to be occupied on thcfhigh strest, a public highway, in front of tho premiscs, o certdin board and canvas atructure, or shanty, nof more than seven feot from the edge of the pavement, placed 20 2a to obstruct the hitching-posts in front. The petition charges that the #aid shanty is 8 nuisance, obstructing the_highway, and_depreciating the value of property, The injury complained of by Johnson {8 not permauent nor such 28 threatens the destruction of property. Astohimthe shanty is o nulsance only because it obatructs the highway. He is not affected by einging and prayer, What he complains of is & statitory nuisance, and the statute gives an adequate remedy, The depreciation in the value of property by reaon of that nuisance can be estimated in damages, The petition then makes D0 cane fu favor of Johneon, and, making none, action cannot go on in the name of plaintif jolntly. “But it is s21d that if the petition showsgood causo of action in favor of Duan, the Court should permit him 10 amend under Sec. 137 of the code, It may be that under this sweeping proviaion of the codo the Conrt can allow him to amend his petition snd afidavit, and the premises; second, order an fnjunction, but before it can do so it must bo satisfled that such couras is in furtherance of juatice. does mot mean in furtherance of the convenicacs and interest of the plaintif nor_the defeadzat, Lut of all right.
