WaAsINGTON, D, O.April 10.~The Indinn Ap-: propriation bill occupied the House for still an- other day withiout being passed. S8ome very im- wvortant netion wns taken, however, In Commit- tec of tho Whole, and tho yvote by which thls was dono is 8o largo na to mako it scom fmprob- able that the nction of the Committee will be roversed when tho bill shall b reported to the Houge. The Bonrd of Indian Commissloners, an outgrowth of tho peace policy, was abollslied, and all laws relating to that Board repoaled. ‘This, of course, waa not done without pro- tracted debate. Mr, Hooker, of Misslssippl, thought the Ronrd uscleas, Mr. Senles, of Georgin, Chalrman of tho Commit+ tee on Indlan Afalrs, sald that the Board was composed ot honorablo men boneat men, and good Christian men, who traveled {n palace-cars, but thoy aro uscless,” Mr. Haskell, of Kansas, who still remained the princlpal supporter and defendor of tho Interiur Department, Insisted that those Commisstoners wero of great sorvico as an advisary . board to assist tho Commissioner of Indiun AMalrs in his purchases. Mr. Cannon, of Ilinols, thought tho Roard wns not a very useful plece of Govern- ment machinory; still it might be rotained. . Mr, Belforq, of Colorado, champion of the radieal policy in Indinn affairs, insiated that the Board hrul done oue goad thing, In that It had SECURED THR REMOYAL of Indian-Commissionor Hayt; but no offorts to #ave tho Board were successful, and unloss tho Senato shall roverso thisaction tholast organized wvestige of tho peace policy is doomted. The In- dian police, too, hoa been of the pet fontitres of tho Interior Dopnrtmont, and liberal sums have been nakod to sustain it. An attempt, however, was made to overthrow it to-duy by rofusing np- propriations for it on tho ground that the polics aro not only not authorized, but that thoy wora employed in tho intercst of Inwlosncss, and that they frequently incite outbreaks, This ate tempt, however, wns defeated. The annual cifort to transfer tho Indlan Burcau to the War Department was made by an amendmont which was proposed to that effect. Tho opponenta of the transfer urged that such a proposition was notIn order, and pending the dobato of the ‘point of order the Houso adjourned, THE DENATE.

Oy April 16.—Reprosontative Davis, of Chicago, nppenared boforo the Ifouse Commerce Committee In bobalf of tha Chicago harbor, for whose Improvement ha nsks £300,000. He says thoro are to-day no adequato facilitios for commerce at the port of Chicago, appropria- tions belng Insufcient, Not v dollar has ever been appropriated for the Chicngo River, which constitutes n part -of Chfengo, Mr. Davie described tho river and mode In which vessols pass up its channel when n strong onst wind I8 blawing. It {s necessary that the channél of tho river nt this polnt bo mado of uniform depth. Approprintions made for Chieago harbor have never been applied to this object. Ho called nttentlon to: the fact that Inrge approprintions have from year to yoar been made for the Charles River, Mussachusottas the Schuylkill, nnd other rivers of far less fm- portance commercially than tho Chicago. At Michigan City, £26,000 has been nppropriated for the innor harbor. 8o farovery dolinr appropriated for tho fnnor harbor at Chicngo has Leen con- tributed by citizens. Mr. Davis strongly urged that the Secretary of War bo dirceted to cause surveys to be mudo and that tho channcl of the river bo drodged: From 1853 to date, $1,159,000 has heen APPROFRIATED FOR THE OUTER HARDOR, oranavernge of $11,000, In 1870 £1,000,000 wore nppropriated for tho outer and £50,000 for the fnner harbor, Binco that timo tho allowances have been meagre and inndequate. Mr. Davis next procecded to deseribe the harbor, and to arguo that what wns ndequato to the needs of 1670 will not do now. Tho arrivalsin 1870 were 11,860 vessels; clearcd, 12,014; moro than fifty arriving and departing each day. In18i8 tho Board of . Engineers recommended the construction of a brenkwater north and cast of tho present North Pler. From 1572 to 187, the number of vessels entering and clearing from Chicago wns 50 per cent moro than from Cloveland and_ Bufalo togethor, yot the approprintions for tho harbors nt those cities ‘wero relatively much Inrger than for Chicago. Mr. Davis presented n'fiugnrmy of statlstica, in which he atrove to show that " the sums nsked for by him wern relatively smaller an are granted efsowhere all over tho country, Mr, Aldrich followed Mr. Davis in an argument In fm-nr of a_mare generous approprintion for the Chiengo hurbor nnd Catumet Lake. Ho suhmnwd summcs from the City Douard of Trude relating to THE IMPORTANCE OF LAKE TRAFFIC. Theso conslsted of the number of ontrics and of clenrunces and the nmount of receipts, ¥or lhud)mr more than £11,000 of taxes huve been n\l Ly vessels alone into tho United St nsury.

Homo of those wretched consplrators aro nowspapor correspondents. “All tha scoundrols,” ho says, *will find out in time that there 18 only one possiblo way Lo pro- vent mo (Hil) from dolng my duty, and that ono way f8 to kill me.
