As we previously declared our belief would be the case, the Senate yesterday afternoon ‘voted to postpone the Tariff bill, which passed the House, until the first Monday in December next; and even by a larger vote than was an- ticipated; namely, 23 to 17. This is a virtual defeat of the measure, for the bill can never become a law in its present objectionable form, ‘The fall elections would decide its fate, if such an indication of the popular will were neces- sary to demonstrate how well the people un- derstand the objects sought to be accomplished by the promoters of the scheme. It will be | seen that Messrs. Sumner, Wilson [and other prominent Republicans yoted against the bill, knowing very well that its passage would en- sure the defeaiof the party which forced it upon the ceuntry. NESSEE AND ALABAMA RAIL- THE TEN. nak. The Department of the Interior has received an official certificate from the Governor of Alabama, dated July 3d, 1966, to the effect that this read is completed for a distance of eight- een miles and a half. Over this line the cars have been running for two years. That por- tion of the road completed starts at a point on the Alabama and Tennessee rivers Railroad known ss Lime Station, and extends beyond the Cahawba river in the direction of Elyton, in Jefferson county. In addition to this line there is a branch road two miles in length which reaches several coal pits, and over this road the cars have been running for two years. From tbe point up to which the cars ran on tre Main Trunk line beyond the Cahawba river the road is graded to Elyton, a distance ofeleven miles andahalt. It is also graded at a in Morgan county. These gradings make in the aggregate a distance of about ten miles. The time limited by Congress for the com- pletion of this road ezpired last month, and the object of the certificate, therefore, is to show that the parties have acted in good faith, and are entitled to the favorable consideration of Congress with a view to an extension of time. DEFEAT OF THE TARIFF BILL. Yesterday afternoon, the Tariff bill was re- ceived in the Senate from the House, when Mr. Fessenden moved to refer the bill to the Committee on Fimance. Mr. Grimes moved to amend by instructing the committee to report on the second Mon- day in December next. After debate, the DE poe was taken on the amendment of Mr. Grimes, resulting as follows: Yeas.—Messrs. Brown, Davis, Doolittle, Fos- ter, Grimes. Guthrie, Harris, Henderson, Hen- Gricks. Jobnson, Kirkwood, Lane, Morgan, Nesmith, Norton, Pomeroy. Riddle, Saulsbary, Sumner, Trumbull, Willey, Williams, and ilson—: Nays.—Messrs. Authomy, Uhandler, Clark, Conness, Cowan, Cragin, junds, Fessen- den, Howard, Hewe, Poland, mg ‘Sher- man, Sprague, Stewart, Van Winkie, and Wade—i7. So the amendment was agreed to. The motion, as amended, to refer to the Fi- | bance Committee, was then agreed to. National Union Executive Committee. An adjourned meeting held last evening at the residence of Hon.

As soen as Congress finally the amend- ments, 1 consulted with Governors of several of the States by telegraph, with the view of securing immediate and concerted ac- tion in ratifying them: believing that such a course might hasten the greatend to be attained by their incorporation into our But the proposition was not recei with the favor anticipated, and it now seems settled that there will be no general action of the States to ratify by extra session, even if Penn. sylvania should doso.

A special order for the mustering out of those Officers of white troops on duty in the Freed- men’s Bureau, whose regiments have been mastered out of service several months since, Was yesterday issued from the War Depart- ment. The order directs that all volunteer officers, not officers of the Veteran Reserve Corps, on duty in the Freedmen’s Bureau, be- longing to regiments of white troops, are, by virtue of this order, mustered out and honor- ably discharged the service of the. United States, on account of their services being no longer required. The Commissioner of the Bureau is instructed to at once relieve these officers from duty, and direct them to repair to their respective homes, thence to report by letter to the Adjutant General of the army for their discharge papers; the respective reports to be accompanied by a copy of the order from the Freedmen’s Bureau relieving the officer from duty. Spee “ INDIAN TROUBLES.” A dispatch from St. Louis, dated the 11th in- stant, published in the papers of yesterday, states that an Indian outbreak in the Blue country is imminent. From information re- etived at the Office of Indian Affairs, we are satisfied that there is ne actual danger at pres- ent. The dissatisfaction among the Indians has arisen from the long delay in farnishing them the goods and presents which they were promised in the treaty made last October.’ An appropriation to enable this to be done has al- ready passed the Senate and is now before the House, and measures have been taken by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to intorm the Indians that the promises made to them will be shortly fulfilled. As doing so will remove all cause of complaint, no apprehension of trouble need be felt. CAVALRY SENT TO LOUDON COUNTY, va. Outrages and assaults on the freedmen living in Loudon eounty, Virginia, having peen so frequently reported of late, and the civil law having failed. it is alleged, to administer jus- tice, the Assistant Commissioner of the Freed- men’s Bureau of this District, by authority of Lieutenant General Grant, has sexta company ot cavalry from this district, to be statiened in that county. with headquarters at Middleburg. 5 Shaina Shtaae crest THE OMNIBUS BILL.
