WASHINGTON. is. aia “for the Message. Passage of the Bill in the House for the Transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War Department. Wasnineron, Dec. 8, 1868, Htouso Proceedings—Excitement Over the Oregon Resolutions. ‘The House proceedings to-day were without special interest. Most of the members succeeded yesterday in relieving themselves of tne bills and resolutions whick they had prepared during the recess, and they are disposed to wait now for the “Presiient’s Message before transacting much bust- Thess, Some little feeling was aroused among the republicans when the Speaker laia before the House the resolution of the Oregon Legislature, calling ‘upon Senators Williams and Corbett, of that State, to resign, and denouncing in severe terms the con- duet of the republicans in both houses, Washburne, of illinois, was the first to appreciate the a‘front, and he moved that the paper be returned to the Ure- gon Legislature. At that time, however, he had only heard the title of it read., Fernando Wood called for the reading of the whole paper, and insisted that that much ‘respect was due to it as coming from a sovereign State. At the words “sovereign State” {Wood's voice was fairly drowned with excited cries ‘of “order” from the Tepubjican side, The paper, Rowever, was read; and if ‘the title ruffled Wash- Durne’s teinper, the contents acted on him as water does on a mad dog. In an excited manner he added to his resolution a series of descriptive adjec- tives, such as ‘“indecorous’’ “impertinent,” ‘“in- decent” and “scandalous.” Qeansfer of the Indinn Burenu to the War Department, * The call of the committees for reports brought ont two resolutions from the Committee on indian A!- . fairs—one directed against the Secretary of War, -and the other against the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. In these, together with the discussion of Mr. Garéeld’s bill to transfer the Indian Bureau from ‘the Interior to the War Department, it became manifest that a divicion exists among the members of the Committee on Indian Affairs, Windom, of Minne- gota, the chairman of the committee, is of those who believe tat in all Indian wars the whites are gen- eraily the aggressors, and that the military do more harm than good and cost the government more moncy than they are worth. He is opposed to re- Moving the Indian Bareau to the War Department, believing that much of the Indian troubles arise from bad management of the army on the frontier. Mr. Clarke, of Kansas, another member of the Indian Committee, is of a different opinion. He regards the management of the Indian Bureau under the In- (terior Department as hopelessly ineflicient and cor- rapt. Ifhe receives the reply to the resolution he offered to-day which he evidently expects he hopes , to show that the Commissioner of Indian Aftuirs is little better than a common swindler, In his speech Mr. Clarke hinted that an impartial investigation of ‘the affairs of the Indian Bureau would astonish in- Rocent people who suppose that it is conducted ‘pon honest principles, Mr. Clarke isa member of “the Indian Committee and ought to know whereof he speaks. : Republican Caucus—The Radicals Outgen- eraled. . ‘The necessity of arranging the committees in order to get along with business induced the Senate to adjourn early. A caucus was heid immediately after for the purpose of revising the list of standing committees. It was the intention of the radicals not only to secure the chairmen of the committees but to obtain, if possible, a clear majority of their members. <Mbey hoped by th® means to reduce the anti-im- peachment members, many of whom are now chair- ‘men of committees, from their commanding post- tions to the ranks. This was to be by way of punish- ment for their recreancy to the party last summer. ‘am goon as the caucus had assembled, however, Senator Anthony, its chairmam, called it to order, and immediately Senator Edmunds was upon his feet to move the appointment ‘of the committee of séven to revise the list of committees. Anthony is regarded as a decided ‘conservative, though he did vote for impeachment. He appointed as the committee of seven the follow- ing Senators:—Edmunds, Conkling, Ramsey, Trum- bull, Rice, Sherman and Pomeroy. On this commit- tee it is conceded that the conservatives have a majority. Trumbul! has heretofore manipulated the appointment of the committees, and it ls probable he will do the same thing this time. Ifso, there will be no reduction of the anti-impeachers to the ranks; on the contrary, they will not only be allowed to re- tain their own positions on the committees, but te provide good ones for themselves. At all events thre radicals are thoroughly disgusted at the whole proceeding. Another caucus will be held to-morrow, ‘when the list of committees will be submitted for ap- General Grant’s Influence on Congress. ‘The passage of Garfield’s bill to place the Indian Bureau under the superintendence of the Secretary of War is the first indication of the influence Grant's recommendations as President will have upon Con- gress. A similar bill was passed at the last session, bat by@ vote much less than that recorded In its favor to-day, and it finally failed in the Senate. Gar- field made the recent annual report of General Grant together with General Sherman's report the basis of his argument for the passage of the bill. It hada manifest effect upon members, some of whom op- ‘posed the measure last session, and when the roll “was ended the vote stood more than two to one. ‘The ‘bill will probably. meet with some opposition in the Benate, where o strong feeling exists against tirning the Indjan Bureau over to the ‘War Bepartment. It rémidins to be seen, however, how far Grant's recommendation wWili go ‘SOWards dissipating this feeling among honotable Senators, who dte ridt only Candidates for Cabinet positions, but who hope to have a large share of patronage to deal out under Grant's reign of peace. Awcrican Citizens in British Prisons. Towards the close of to-day’s session W. EB. Robin- won, of New York, obtained the for fot the purpose of delivering a speech in behalf of the American citizens imprisoned by Great Britain. Before he commenced there was an understanding that after he concluded no other business should be transacted during the day. The object of this was to allow such -@f the members as did not care to listen to the @peech to go home, Whatever may be the interest of the majority of the House in the subject it is but just to’state that before Robinson had been speaking five minutes the seats on the republican side were deserted, with the exception of General Ranks and one or two members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, to whom Robinson gave notice at the out- start that he would pay his respects. When he closed his speech, which was an hour long, not nore than a dozen members were in the hall. Protective Tarif in Prospect. The passage of the bill imposing a tari? of ree cents per pound on all imported copper is regarded here by he taris? men as a good omen in favor of the passage during the session of a general tarit bill, Last session the copper bill met with strong opposition from all sections, but especially from the Western members. Its prospects were so doubtful that its friends thought it prudent to withdraw it rather than encounter the risk of defeat. The vote ‘on it to-day, however, was a decided one, and it has emboldened the tariff men to get up a general bill at anearly day for what they term “the protection of American mdustry.”” The subject, it is understood, will soon be considered by the Ways and Meas Com: mittee.

Governor Bullock, of Georgia, finds fauit with a concluding paragraph 41 my despatches of last even- ing regarding the appilcation of Joshua Hili for a seat as Senater duly elected from that State. Gov- ernor Buliock declares that he is not an aspirant for the Senatorship, and that his only reason for oppos- ing Hill’s immediate admission is that he desires first to sce a loyal republican State government 6¢- cured. Memorial from Members ef the Georgia Legs- inlatures A memorial was presented to Congress from the members of the Georgia Legislature protesting against the manner of organizing the provisional government in Georgia and the subsequent action of the Legislature, wherein the following occurs:— Your memorialists also respectfully submit to the discretion of Congress whether the Constitutional amendment has been adopted by the Legislature of Georgia, and whether further legislation is not necessary before the State can legally resume her status a8 a State in the Union, entitled to all the rv of a loyal State? They present these facts in behalf of themselves and over 660,000 loyal citi- alll neat and trust their appeal will not be in vi ‘The memorial is signed by Benjamin Conley, Presi- dent of the Senate, and fifteen other Senators, and J. FE. Bryant, J, H. Caldwell and forty-four other mem- bers of the House, including expelled members, Coustituttonality of the Legal Tender Act. The Supreme Court to-day was occupied in hear- ing the reargument of’a number of cases involving the constitutionality of the Legal Tender act, and the application of the act to trusts and contracts made before its passage. B. R. Curtis argued jn favor of the validity of the act, and Clarkson N, Potter against it, The argument will probably occupy several days. Jurisdiction of the Court of Clahns. ‘The Senate brought its proceedings to an abrupt close to-day at about twenty minutes to one o’clock, acter a few bills and resolutions were tntroduced and laid on the table, The only one of importance was the bill of Mr. Harris to extend the provisions of the act of July, 1862, relative to the jurisdiction of the Court of Claims in cases in the States of Arkan- sas and Louisiana, This, if passed, will bring some $50,000,000 worth of claims into court, arising out of damages done by the armies both of North and South during the war. Judgments Rendered in the Court of Claims During the Year 1868. The Clerk of the Court of Clainis has presented to Congress, in accordance with the law, statements of all judgments rendered in that Court for the year ending December 7, 1868, which shows that indg- ments to the extent of $800,000 have been rendered, one of them for $123,000 for captured cotton, aud other large sums on the same account.

On the new portion of the rond along the Humbontt Valley the crossties, brid and rails are up to the standard, There are a few minor defects, not of vital importance, in culverts, drains, width of em- bankment and ballast; but these can be remedied at small cost when the hurry of pushing forward the road is over.

Mer consumption of coal was forty tons a day, and on leaving here she had 600 tons on board, The Hibernia sailed on the 14th of Noveme ber last, and was, therefore, eleven days out when she foundered and could not have suffered from an insufiiciency of coal, The engines or boilers of the | ship could not have been foul, itis asserted, for the | practice of the company is to thoroughly overhaul them each trip when port is made, and according to law in Kngland every ocean steamer musi go into -dock at theend of each twelvemonth, Hence the agents in charge of the company’s ofice in this e:ty are unable to account for this terrible calamity that has befallen this ship, as everything was done that human ingenuity and expericace could suggest to provide agatnst it. It is hoped that many more of the passengers are saved than as first reported, for the steamer, it is stated, had boats on board sutti- cient to carry 600 persons, as the English law pre- seribes, and it appears every soul on board was sauce | cessfully embarked in them.
