C., July 20.—The troubles of the Democrats upon the currency question aro rapldly Increasivg. A meeting of the Bank- fug and Currency Comuniticé was held this morning, but no advance witatever was made toward nscttlement of the question before it. In the meantime, lndisna Democrats of promi- nenco are here, and, alded by several members of the delegation in Congress, thoy are insisting that it 15 absolutely nocessary to the salvation of Indiana that prompt action should he taken, elther by the Committee or by the IHouse jtself indopendent of the Committee, to sceuro the re- peal ‘of the Resumption clause. These men are also busy using thelr {nfluence with inflation Republicans from Indiana and elsewhero to induce them to agree to the repeal of this resumption clause, coupled with some general provision which can be interpreted as affording meana for a gradual return to apecls payment. Theyare willing this pretended ma- chinery for resumption shall be littlo more than vm;ds, provided these gentlemen will agreo toit. A8 AN ARGUMENT to compel all the Demnocrats of tho Houso to adopt this course, they arc stating that, boyond anv question whatever, the extremo greenback men of the Btato wiil unito in large numbers perfoct a strong. organization, and “poll at leasf 00,000 votes, which thoy claim will, ns matter of course, -in Jarge part be drawn from Democratic voters. | .'?lzwy ?nsm. that such an or%m(muun will, beyond ahy question, in- sure Democratic defeat, and on this ground thoy appeal to the Democrats in Congress to in- terpose promptly and unv:nlmmmu. &I'llny even affirm that the preaent delay, or, worso, refusal, to act {n accurdance with the 8t. Louls platform up to the present tme, has alread; DAMAGED THEM GREATLY IN TIIZ STATE, and so greatly as to havea very serious affoct upon the ‘early part of “the - campalj whether the matter bo hereafter nctlfigl or not. On the other hand, Tilden's influcnce scems to contro) ' members supposed to be actuated by tho same fecling which was unhesitatiungly oxpressed at Bt. Louls Yruvlnun to Tilden's nomination, which waa to ho effect that they caro nothing for the October Btates, but wero “entircly contident of thelr ability to succeed at the cleetion without them. This view I8 now being urged here to 1OLD TILE {OUSE BTEADY to the position it occupics, and {ll‘!!vl!ll'. any such actlon as the Indlana Democrats desire in regard to the Resumption nct. Some of the muost prominent men on the Demucratic sido sald to-dny that {n thelr judgment it would bo fmpossible to s0 maniptlate the House aa to sccure the nctlon which these Indiana men -seek, although it secma to be well understood that they speak for Hendrlcks, ROBESON, DIPEACHMENT RECOMMENDED, Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune. ‘Wasmxaton, D.

C., July 20.—The Bundry Civil bill 1s at lnst out of tho way, having passod the Ilouse, and there aro soma favora- blo signs of an approach to un agreement upon the remaining uppropristion bills. To-day, at Mr. Randall's request, all the appropriations for tho last year were stitl further extended until the 31st of the present month, and in making this roquest Rtandutl aunounced that o thougeht this would b the last timo that it would be noceseary thus to oxtend the provisions of the al)(\roprlm.lnn bills. This wns accepted by tho Houss as a notlfication from the Chalriian of the Appropristions Committeo that befors the cxpiration of this thme the remniuing appro- priation billa will have bucomns laws, A CUKIOUS QUESTION In connection with this extenslon now arises, which Is bothering the Democrats somewhat. ‘The varlous extenslons which huve been made, tuken altogethier, really amount to appropris- tiuus for qno month's service of the cutlre Government at the rate of laat year's appro- priations, The Goverument haos already boen uuthorized to expend for this servics one-twollth of tho amoupt of laat year's expeuditures, aud o4 the bills now pending niske appropria- tlons for the entlre Bscal year, and authorize the expenditures of the wholo amount appropristed within that fiscal year, the actual result s that the untire amount of appropriations of this Democratic [louss for the service of the lucum fiscal year will equal onc-twelfth of lust year's uprruprlnuun bills ndded to the suma contafued In thess various Democratic bills, This oge-twellth will go very fur toward wiplng out ths total roduction mude, and taking into ‘account the losaes tho various dapartments will sustain Ly the fulse ceonomy of theso retrenchmnts, it [ now about certati that with all the work which tho Democrats have dono thero will be no saving whatever in the Appropriation bills,. This view of the casols beginnlng to excite s good deal of comment at tho expense of those who have worked so hard for rutrenchment for the sake of the great po- litical capltal §t was hoped it would bring in the caming election, Wasmnaroy, D.

TIIE ARGUMENTS. Wasnmvaton, D. C.y July 20.—~The impeach- ment trial was rosumcd at noon. Judge Black announced that Mr. Carpenter ‘was too sick to be present, and as it was neces- sary for counsel to hear the argument ho was to answer he nsked that an order bo mado that Blalr bo heard, es arranged with the Manogers, and that fter e kad made his opening argu- ment the Court adjourn until to-morrow, when the Mnnug\cm would be heard, On motlon of Mr. Anthony, the order was 1aiil ou the table. Mr. Blair, of the counsel, opencd the argu- ment for the dofense, holdiny that the impeach- ment should bo dismissed on the ground that more than one-third of the Senate voted agnluat it. Ho could not sccount for tho persistency of this prosccution, unless tho Managers expected that the. Scnators who voted against tho jurls- diction would stultify themselves and vote for conviction now. Mr. Robertson thought such language toward o Benator was very harsh, Mr. Blair explained that he did not mean to be personal toward the Scnators. He only spoke of the action of the lhnnfiefl a8 having an um’cnmnm that they expected the Scnators would stultify tnemscives ;:I voting for the con- viction of thodefendant. Ile then reviewed the articles of impeachnent. Iu concluslon, Mr, Blair again argued that his cllent ghould bo dismissed because there was not the legal two-thirds voto of the Scoate as- sortiny furiu](nunn. Mr. Merrinon submitted two questions,which, he sald, he would llke to hear discussed ly counscl: Firat, was a Senator dissonting on the question of jurisdiction not bound by the ma- jorlty, just as & dissenting Judge on the Su- prente Court Bench was bound by the majority; and, second, what was meant by” the terin con- victlopn In the Constitution,—whether there could bo conviction without dlsqualification to Lliold oftice 1 Mr. Biair replied that a Senator voting in tho minority was not bound by the mluorlt{ and quoted “from 12th Peters in support of il ar- gumnent.

A SUGGESTION, TOW TO *'CIAW-UP " BITTING BULL. ) To the Editor of The Tridunie. Citicaao, July 20.—Much has been sald by the press snd varfons correspondents throughout the cntire conntry about the ill-fated Gen. Cus- ter, who waa doubtless a brave and gallant ofli- cer, too Impulsive and ambitious prabably for lils own good, as §s verifled by his rash adven tura into a canon with fm.aense helghts of rock apd depths of ravines, fn which the Sloux readlly concenled themselves, and entrapped lm and his bruve men tuto thelr ambush. It s o grave question with any one versant with the ludian character, how so good a commander as Gen. Custer could so readily have been ducelved by the rude and uncducated red man of the forest ; but It is probably attributable to Gen. Cs gailant and fmpulsive aspirations to excel his brother-ofticers, ‘ Now, what can be done to obviate tha long- talked-of wur between tho 8ioux and the regue lar United Btates Army, who are unucquainted with the Indian character! To this I will brictly mplg: Let Cungress, before its close, authorize the Btates of Texas, Misaourd, Kanaas, Nubraskn, and Illinole, to raise a regritment cach of cavalry, properly equipped with all the sccontrementa of war, and mounted on Texan and Mexican tuules, with pack-anlinals of the same kind, that can subsist upon the prafrio grass, without the nocessity of conveying cribs of corn at a terriblo expensu to the Governmnent. Glve cach regi mient only a few spring-wugons for hospital pur- pusos, &c. Grant tu cachi man of s donum teers the privilege of retaining all the snfmals or nnytmnxj else he may capture from the red nan, In addition to his regulur pay from the (lovernment,~the property thus captured to be considered as pdzc-moncr. A I will venture the prediction that, in loas than four mouths from the time muuxpt?mon starts, Bittiug Bull and his cowardly clan (what s left of them) will sak for peace on any terms that wmay be dictated to them by the (fovernment, uml forever after renain péaceabls, cltl- zens. Or, should the Governmentoffer o sum sufllciently large, not exceeding #1,000,000, con~ tracts will bo speedily takon by Western or frontler men—reaponsiDle oues, too=—to exter- minate Bitting Bull and his tribs from the faco of the carth fu a very few mouths, This scems the only possiblo mdnner of getting rid of Mr. Indlan, Civll warfare inst them and hu- mauc treatment have sviduutly been failuresy 8o let us ldolll one of the plans vamed, and these Judian troubles will soon cease, thercby saving wiilious of dollars to the Uovermuent.
