A Star reporter to-day called Secretary Schurz’s attention to a dispatch from Yakim’ City, giving an abstract of the confession of Saluskin, one of the murderers of the Perkins family, in which Chief Moses, now tn thts city, is charged with having decetved the whites in the recent troubles, and wita haviuy tre .cher- ously meditated hostilities while pretending to be peaceably disposed. The Secretary says that all the information recelved, in great part from military sources, contradicts the story in ential part.’ He adds ‘iat the Indlan Saluskin 1s known here as a renezade Indlan of the very worst character. Reports in tae In- terior department, expecially those received from military officers, tudicate that there are a number of white persons In Washington tert: y jeavor to prevent 2 Oe Suemene, ot alt Mending —alttcak ties with these Indian tribes, esp: 5 with Moses, because they desire an Indian wi and the shower of greenbacks that it v) ld bring to their country. Sensational dlp from that quarter with regard to di li-nittes between Indians and whites, aud impendins troubles, should therefore be taken with tie greatest caution. The settlement here arrived Pt with Mcses, and the arrangements initiated with the Umatilla chiefs, are, it is thought, such as to authorize the hope that all dimticul: tes will be avoided, unless evil-dispozed persons in that, territory interfere to prevent thelr con- summatio! Important With the LANDS TO BE ALLOITRD IN SEVERALTY. An agreement between the Secretary of the Interlor and Howlish-Wampo, Winnepsnoot, Hemii and Willam-moot-kin, chiefs of the Wailla-Walla, Umatilla and Cayuse tribes of Indians, now in the city with Moses, has been reached which gives promise of a practical test of the system recommended by the Interior de- partment to secure to the Indlans a permanent laud tle. The Umatilla reservation in north- eastern Oregon coutains 268.800 acres aud in- cludes some of the finest grazing and agricultu- ral lands in the state. It is surrounded by a white farming population, who have run across it a telegraph tne and several roads. It 13 oc- cupied by about a thousand Indlans, who calti- vate tetween two and three thousand acres and pasture 22,000 head of stock on part of the remainder. Persistent efforts have been made to open these lands to settlement. Attention is called to the expense of maintatoing an agency for so small a numoer of Indians tu the last annual renoe of the Commissioner of In- dian Affairs. It 1s believed that the arrange- iments now made will tend to settle the diifi- culties connected with the Indians on this reservation. The Secretary of the Iaterlor agrees to endeavor to secure the passage of an act of Congress granting allotments in severalty to such of tuese tribes as may elect to take allotments on the reservation. The provisions of the bili to be introduced will be subs:antially, the same as those of a bill on the same subject introduced in the last Congress. ‘The lands allotted are to be inalienable for 25 years. It 1s further agreed that remaining land shall be sold and the funds arising therefrom shall be pce in the Treasury for the use of tue In- tans, or to enable them to leave their preseat Teservation and ¢ettle on some other. Tne chiefs agree for themselves and people to as- semble their tribes on their return, in the Presence of a representative of the United "4:e8, abd to ascertain the number and names uf the particular individuals who will take allotments, and the number and names of such as prefer to leave their present reservation to join other reservations aiready established in Oregon, Washington Territory, Idaho or Mon- tano, and to send these lists to Washington. The cliefs also agree that as soon as the neces- tary legislation is obtained, such of their p29- ple as determine to settle with other tribes will immediately remove to the locations selected. Mr. Conkling’s Speech im the Senate ‘To-day. AD ubusually large gathering of spectators were present Cn the meeting of the Senate, the ladies’ gallery presentiug an especially brilliant appearance and the diplomatic gallery having a fair number of Gccupants. Numbers of pro.al- ent visitors, includisg many members of the House, occupied seats on the floor of the Senate, the attraction evidently being the desire to hear Mr. Conkling speak on the army bill. The dis- cussion of the Wallace resolution occupied the entire morning hour, after which the aimy appropriation Dill was taten up Mr. Conkling commenced his remarks b/ saying that of the $235,000 000 of revenue col Jected during the last year by the government $221,000,000 came from 27 states and $13,609.00 from the 11 states of Alabama, Arkansas, Flor ida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Car olina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas ani Virginia, of which $6.500,4" was from the to- bacco taxes ¢f Virginia.

There ig “but one way by which it can reach those objects—by sppropeiation. Tne Con- stitution commits to Congress only discretion as to how much is to be appropriated, its com- mands to make some appropriation are impera- uve. A refusal to vote money to defray the expenses of the different branches of govern- ment was, therefore, unconstitutional If the members of the judiciary or executive depart- ment falled to do their duties under the consti- tution they would be liable totmpeachment. If members of the legislative branch were like- ‘wise amenable to punishment for dereliction of duty it would be a braver, if not less gullty act to Violate their exalted trust. In ordinary times truisms like these would be needless it not out of place inthe Senate.

It was to rea- der impossibte here the caste distinctions of an ill aajusted society. The partisan spirit anima- tung these debates. if it was any where mnisunder- stood, was mistaken especially tn this b: To hear what was called the debates on tii subject, one would think that the majoriuy were arraigned simply because they were act- ing unconstitutlonally and putting legisiatioa ob appropriation bills. This was not the case For himself, be knew of no better reasons than convenience and common sense, and the dan- ger of log-roliing combinations, to forbid pui- Ung all appropriations on a single bill. A bill embracing such a huddle of incongrusus provi- sions (If no objection to its separate parts was found), it was dificult to see on what ground a | Veto could stand. But the objections to this legislation would b- as strong if {t had takea the form of independent bills. "A resort to sep- rate bills might even have cloaked the stuisier design of the legislation, and, in that view, would have been wise policy for the other side.

Tuvnrspay, April 24. SENATE.—The President pro tew. laid before the Senate a communication from the Paymas- ter General of the army, calling attention to the fact that there fs no appropriation for the professors and cadets of the Military academy. Also, the annual reportof the Academy of Sci- ences. Mr. Dawes said he held in his hand the peti- tion of Mrs. Caroline 8. Webster for an increase of pension. This lady was the widow of Colo- nel Fletcher Webster, the son of Daniel Web- ster. While Mr. Webster spent his entire lite in the civil service, entering the House of Rep- resentatives In 1813. with scarcely any interrup- ton.and closing his services as Secretaryof State in 1852, his two sons gave their lives to the country in the military service. His youngest sen, as asoldier, lost his life in the war with Mexico. Daniel Webster died in 1552, and left the otber son as the only one to bear his name to posterity. He held various positions with honor and great promise of distinction. In 1s61. Fletcher Webster, following the example of his brother, entered the service of the United States at the head of a Massachusetts regiment, serving with distinction until he fell {n 1s62. Ard thus passed away all the male members of the family. His widow went to Marshtield 10 live and to take care of the papers left by Mr. Webster to the country, depending on such Means of support as she could obtain from the estate. In April last the homestead was con- sumed by file, and everything of value to the-| country, with the exception of a few pictures and some things of minor note, were destroyed. Mrs. Fletcher Was now receiving a pension of thirty dollars a month, and she asks Congress te increase it to fifty dollars a month. Sue be- ing under the circumstances stated reduced to Want, it did not seem unreasonable that the prayer should be granted. Mr. Dawes then introduced a bill to increase the pension of Caroline 8. Bete scoala Mr. Blaine said if his friend in front (Mr. munds) had not been in the habit of objecting, he would ask that tbe bill be now put on its passage. He would move to increase the pen- sion to $100 amonth. Congress voted a pension of $3,000 a year to the widow of President Lin- coln, and $2,000 a year to the widow of Admiral Farragut. ‘The petitioner was the surviving Tepresentative of all there was of the name ot Webster, and of two heroes who sacrificed tuelr lives in defence of the country. HOUSE.—The House met at 11 o’clock in con- Unuance of Wednesday's session, and imme- diately went into committee of the whole on the legislative appropriation bill. Mr. Scales supported the proposed Tepeal, on the ground that the laws as they now stood were unconstitutional, and dangerous to the liberties of the ple. The whole opposition to the repeal was based upon the presumption or knowledge that the President would veto it. It the President had expressed his inteutioa to veto the bill, then itt was an atempt to intimt- date the legislative branch of the government, ard in itself warranted Congress in taking out of his hands the power to control elections. If it was oply presuu:ed that he would veto it, (and he believed that to be the fact), all this storm had been without a cause. ‘The demo- cratic party was rightupon this question; and he would, ithe could, write upon the sky it- self, that all men might see it, that that party ‘stood up to-day in favor of free elections. Mr, Davis (N.C.) ee the position which the demecrats had en. He sald that the army should not be used as a political machine for the benefit of the republican party; while that party said that unless the army could be 80 used, the army must starve. That was the only issue presented. Alluding to the speech of Mr. Burrows, in which he inquired how long it would be before slavery was re-established, he said that it would be attempted as soon as the repubitcan ramped found it to be to its inter- est to re-establish 1t. But when that time came the south would stand up and say, “This is one of the things you cannot do.” Mr. Cobb argued that there was no constitu- tional power upon which the election laws could rest. Mr. Gillette said that he did not consider that, bene Seen bece necessity ced ed 1@ PTO} legislation on appropriation Dbilis, avd’he should tueretore vote to surike it out; but if it was retained he would vote for the passage cf the bill, not with a view, however, of forcing executive approval.

He had seen the whole country rise up and howl about soldiers at the ils, when bands of armed men tn the south took posses- slon of the ballot-box, stuffed it with tissue bal- lots, and killed men who would not vote the democratic ticket.
