THE CONFERENCE on the legislative, jadi- etal, and executive appropriation bill this morning resulted ina failure to agree, and the confreres will so report to their respec- tive houses and ask for a new committee. This will | agape 3 deter Senator Morrill from entering at once u, the discharge of his duties as Secretary of the Treasury. THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.—Gens.

The Com. missioner requested that Major Clarke be retained tem Lye at least, until after the trial of certain illicit distillers whose arrest he caused, and the President cheerfully com- plied with the request. The Commissioner asserts tbat his relations with the President are ofa very pleasant character, and that he will, of course, respect ali requests for re- moval or appointment made by him with good cause, and further that he has no cause Whatever to tender his resignation, ich entirely refutes the many reports of his con- templated resignation on account of the practice of the President in directing the re- moval of officers in the Internal Kevenue bureau.

Acjatant Generali Townsend has telegraphet to General Sheridan's headquarters for an early report. Many persons, anxioas as to the fate of relatives in the Indian country, bave visited the War department to learn the official report of the fight and for further »artienlars.

General Custer and sif- teen officers, and every man belonging to tne five companies, were killed. Reno retreatad under the protection of the reserve. The whole number killed was 315. General G:b- bons joined Revo. Tne Indians left the battle ground, which looked like a slauzh ‘er pen, as it really was—being in a narrow ravine. The dead were rauch mutilated. The situation now looks serious. General Terry arrived at Gibbon’s Campon a steamboat and crossed the command over and accom- panied it to join Custer, who knew it was coming before the fight occurred.

He has biue eyes, not piercing even when he ts aroused, which Is seldom, for his strong suit is to buzz people, getting them by the ear, whispering in it aod earry~ ing bis point by dull pertiuacity.

Mr. Sargent, in repiy to a question, satd nine-tenths of the immigrants were coolies, and ninety-pine out of a hundred of the wo! men were brought to this country for im moral purposes. Mr. Edmunds said this was a subject too important and In some respects too critical to be acted on on the jump. It should have careful consideration oy tue Committee on Foreign Relations. He appealed to Mr. Sar- gent not to force & vote wi!hout referetice. Mr, Sargent said he shoald resist a motion to refer, because the subject had been coa- sidered in the Sepate since the 29th of Apri!, becanse he had early in the session presented the petition of twenty thousand people ask ing tome action, and because the subject had been before the Commitee oa Foreign Relations. There had been two great coa- ventions recently. The republicans, by a three-fourths vote, had spoken in a way to show their sympathy for the Pacific states, while the democratic convention had goue much further than the resolution he had offered; and he thought the question shonid be met fairly by the Senate.
