Tho Temwre of Ofice Sirugule in the Senate Brobawilittos of the Fate of the Howe Mea- sere. ‘The ng n-concurrence of the House of Representa- tives in/ the Senate substitute for thetr bill to repeal the law in relation to the tenure of civil oMces re- ‘urns f he bill for further action, According to the rules »f the Senate the question will come up tn one of tl’ rce forms—on a motion to insist, to recede or askis iz a committee ef conference. The motion to recd Je takes precedence of all other motions, It is understood that such a motion will be made, which wil’, have the effect of bringing the Senate to a direct woe, Im the event of the passage of the motion - to recede it is understood that Yue will be equivalent to a passage of the /douse bill to reveal, It 1s stated that during the last session of Congress a motion to recede was made, and the ruling was that the motion being carried the bill was passed, requiring no direct vote upon tts passage. An appeal was made from the decision of the chair, and it was decided that a further vote was required on the passage. Parliamentarians, however, do not agree in this, and the decision, if the vase comes, will be in accordance with the ad- mitted rules, The motion to insist and ask for a committee of conference, two methods of disposing ofa question nsually united, would result in bringing committees of both houses in consultation on the subject. The action of such committees will be governed by the character of the persons selected vo represent the House, whether friendly or not. In case of this committee being in favor or undeter- muned in regard to the Senate amendment it is probable the report will be favorable to the action of the Senate. Such a report to the House will certainly be carrie] and will then be outside the Jurisdiction of the House Committee on the Judl- ciary, where Butler seems to have a prevailing in- uence, It is said by Senators conversant with the feeling of their body that at least six or seven who voted for their amendment are willing, if the ques- tion comes up in that form, to vote to recede. In such case the House bill will prevail, The action of the Senators is undecided until the question comes up, as there are several forms in which 1% is likely to present itself, The motion to recede will probably be made by one of the democratic Senators or by Senator Morton, and the motion to insist by Senator Edmunds or Senator Trumbull. Senator Warner considers that repeal is inevitable; but should it unexpectedly turn out that the Senate insisis on a committee of conference, he Winks the amendment proposed by Thayer, of re- quiring the President to send in the names of all his appointments made during recess within thirty days after the assembling of Congress, and of rendering those who are rejected by the Senate ineligible to a second appointment for the same place, will be adopted. Should the motion to recede be put he believes all the original repealers will raliy to its support, and, having heretofore had a conceded majority, the motion will be sus- tained, Senator Hamlin considers that i the motion to recede 18 carried the blll becomes re- peated and the whole trouble is over. Senator Kel- jogg is of opinion that a committee of conference will ve called for and another modification made in the amendments, which will render them acceptable to the President, Congress and the people, He will Vote for repeal, if the question presents itself m #uch shape that a decisive vote one way or the other May be demanded. Senator Howard will insist on the Senate amendments, as he believes a concession hhas been made adequate enough to meet the neces- sities of the Executive, and it 1s only a spirit of cap- tiousness “on the part of the House that pre- vents an immediate settlement of the vexed estion, Senator Patterson thinks there is no necessity to apprebend any diMenity between the two honses in disposing of the subject. Should the Honse still preserve its attitude of oppo- sition he believes the party of repeaiers in the Senate will be reinforced and tho statute wiped out of ex- ‘stence. Senator Harris has an idea that a better ‘understanding by the House of the real nature of the Senate's amendments would have insured their aJoption, and Speaker Biaine is reported to have said that if the bili bad been referred to and reported favorably irom the House Judiciary Committee it would have passed immediately. Senators Osborn and Rice yeted for the amendments In the hope that it was the most expedient, gatisfactory and harmo- nious method of reconciling the two houses; but if ‘Mt becomes itnpossibie to agree they intend to take the ground of total repeal, or, in other words, receding froin the Senate amendments, as the easiest solution of the entire diMcuity. ‘The anti-repealers insist ‘that the repubiican Senators are still bonnd by the ecision of the republican caneus which agreed wpon the measure that passed the Senate. Such men as Morton, Sherman, Thayer, mes and Sprague argue Wat the action of the caucus has ex- hanusted itseif and they are no longer bound by its decisions. As the anti-repealers depend to a con. siderable extent upon the caucus to held the repeal. ers to the Senate amendments, the question as to ‘whether the latter will or will not recognize its deci. sion as still binding is regarded as quite important, Of course if the repealers are still bound by the cxucus their hands are tied and they must vote upon the Senate amendments to the bill, If, on the other hand, the caucus action has exhansted tself, they are free to move and vote for receding. The repealers contend that the House having refus to concur in the Senate amendment, the qnestion has‘agsumed a new phase and it will require the copsiddration and decision of a new caucus before there e@y be anything binding upon the republican Senators\as a party, Tue anttrepealers, on the other han, hold that the question is sttil the same, that the oNly proposition before the Senate is the amendmengs to the bill agreed npon in caucus, and that until they are either — su 1 or Gcfeated every Senator who participated in the qimcns in Which they were agreed npon tionnd to adhere to them, Individual Sen tors, wif’ few exceptions, are uncertain as to what conree Uiey will pursue, se who anpported the Senate mensure will, first of all, vote to insist upon Stand to agk the House for a committee or confe- renee. Should the House refuse to grautaconte- | rence, and will Insist upon total repeal, a few of the jews stufaporn of the Senators who have heretofore acted with the anti-repeslors and the modifiers wili probebly yield #0 far as to adopt Butler's propo. aition, Weich is to amend the House bin by | aiding aether clause, providing that the Pres!- dent shall yond to the Senate all the nomina- tions made ‘suring the recess within thirty days after the Sense meets, It ls not thought, however, shat thia can command enough support in the Sen- ate to succeed. The only diterence between this and total repeal Is thet the President cannot keep in oMoe obnOxtows men without giving the Senate a chance to raject-them for a period tonger than thirty ays after the Sehate meets or while it is in session, The President Advising = Recession from Ponition.

He 1s said to have remarked toa member of the House that the perplexity of dis- posing ofthe patronage was enough, without any outside trouble, and that he would not again go through his experience since the 4th of March for $100,000, Ofice Seekers Preparing for Repeal. ‘The several heads of the departments were busy all day yesterday, principally with republican mem- bers of Congress, in relation to removals from and appointments to office, According to the represen- tations of some of these members, arrangements are belng made for that purpose, in view of the anticl- pated repeal of the Tenure of Office act, Notwith- standing the rule that written applications for office must be filed with the several heads of departments, many persons seek to present their applications to President Grant, who declines to receive them. The New York Appointments are exciting great interest to-night. Judge Low, Ford and Tracy are working hard for the District Attorneyship of the Southern District, and it 1s dim- cuit to make out which of the three is ahead. Low seems to have both Fenton and Conkling on his side. ‘Tracy is here, and Raymond will arrive to-morrow to press his claims. General Patrick H. Jones 1s after the United States Marshalship, and is running General Pleasonton very closely. Jones, like Low, has both Senators backing him. John H. White is fighting for the Collectorship of the Thirty-second istrict of New York city. The War Kecord of Naval! Oficer Merritt. ‘The statement that General Mecritt, the new Naval OMicer of the port of New York, was a famous cavalry officer during the war 18 a mistake. The lucky Merritt who gets the fat office was merely a quartermaster of one of the New York regiments and a member of Governor Fenton’s military sta‘f. Comminsions of J son's Appointees With- held. The commissions of those parties who were con- firmed for office in the last few days of the former admunistration are yet withbeld, The subject is in the hands of the Attorney General. Return of Vice President Colfax. A telegraphic despatch has been received from Vice President Colfax stating that he will reach this city in time to preside at the session of the Senate to-morrow. The Charges of Corruption Against Senator Fenton. There nas been quite an excitement here all day about Senator Fenton ana the developments regard- ing the Erie Ratlway bil! set forth in the testimony taken before the Albany Legisiature Investigating Comumittee. The anti-Fentonites are crowing over the affair lustily, and are threatening all sorts of things against the new Senator. Some of them say they will cause an investigation to be instituted by the Senate, and, should the charges prove true, will insist upon Fenton’s expulsiou. On the «ther hand, Fenton's friends deciare that the who}: thing is a Malicious conspiracy to injure the Senator, and that it has no foundation whatever in truth. Those who have no particular interest one way or the other generally discredit the statemc™t that Fenton has been the recipient of any sum of money for corrupt purposes and assert that if $20,000 was paid to be given to him it never reached his hands, Such things are frequently done, it is said, both here and at Albany—that is, people receive money under promise to give it to somebody else, but never let it get out of their own hands. The Investigation Into Mud dle. The House Committee on Foreign Affairs will next make an investigation into Paraguayan affairs, in- cluding the ofMcial conduct of ex-Minister Wash- burne and Rear Admiral Davis and the imprison- ment of Messrs. Bliss aud Masterman. Witnesses have been summoned, Prospects of An Adjournment of Congress. § At is now thought by members of Congress of both parties that an adjournment sine die will not take place before the middie of April. ‘The Pacific Railroads. The following telegram was recently recetved by the Secretary of the ina the Paraguayan Saur La Utah, March 19, 1869, ‘The report on the Sentral t Pacific road wiil require time. We think you should know that we, who have seen both, deem the Central Pacific Ratiroad as incomplete as the Union Pacific road. G. K. WARREN, Brevet Major General, U. 8. A. J. BRECKENSDERFER, Jr., Special Commissioner. The above refers to the manner of constructing the two roads, Another telegram just received says the Union Pacific Railroad track is laid twenty-five mules west of Ogden, wiich is fifty-one miles east of Monument point. The grading of the last mentioned distance is completed, with the exception of six miles. The Central Road is laid to a point seventy- five miles west of Mineral Point, leaving a gap be- tween the roads of 126 miles over which rails are to ve laid, The Georgin Bill. It is said in republican circles tat the Committee on Reconstruction will (seven against five), early this week, report back the bill reassembling the original Georgia Legislature, imposing a test oath qualification and declaring the expulsion of the colored members void, The Change of System in the War Depart- ment, The order issued by Secretary Schofield, just pre- vious to his resignation, which directed all the statt officers of the War Department bureaus to report to the General commanding the army, on and after the date of the order, instead of to the Secretary of War, as theretofore, was issned in opposition to the views of General Rawlins, who, it is understood, gave it as his opinion that the proposed change would not work harmoniously and was in violation of old established customs and existing laws, The views expressed by General Rawlins were borne out by the operation of the charge referred to; many diMculties arose which tended rather to com- plicate and embarrass the transactions of the War De- partment and army headquarters than to simplify them, a8 was expected. Ever since General Rawlins has exercised the authority of Secre- tary of War he has been endeavoring to have the old order of things restored, The dis- cussion over the matier at length grew so warm that Secretary Rawiing stated to the President that if the order was not rescinded he Would be obliged to tender his resignation. He found that under the new régime he was little better than a figuretead to the army—a sort of rare dignt- tary, kept more tor ornament than use, and care- fully guarded in his omce by the General of the Army and his stat’ oMcers. ‘The matter was finally arranged by the issue of an order by the President on Friday last rescinding we objectionable portion of the order in question. Ex-Army Officers as Pension Agents, It is understood that the appointment of ex-officers of the army to the varlous positions under the Com- missioner of Pensions will take precedence of other candidates, This is eminently proper and it is | thought will be the mewns of employment for a num- ber of deserving men. The argument in favor of this is that officers have a better sense of the necessities of those with whom they will be thrown in contact, and will administer the affairs of their office more in the interest of their late comrades, Some in- stances have been reported in which the confiding soldier has been shorn, in the way of fees and the like, of puch of the pittance which he receives from the goverument as a support for himself and family probably. These changes are likely to be made aa rapidly as proper persons can be found. There are | @ number of positions under the Commissioner of Pensions which can thus be filled. The name of Major Calhoun is prominentiy mentioned for the office of Pension Agent at Philadeiphia in place of Buckmaster, Meeting of the Amoricnn Tract Society. ‘The third annual meeting of the New York Tract Society was held this evening at the Congregational church, Chief Justice Chase presiding. Interesting speeches Were made by the Hon. Mr. Ferry, of | Michigan, and Rev, Mr. Shearer, in regard to the im- | portence of this society's home labors, and by Rev. J. ©. Fletcher from personal observation in regara to the Jabors and results tn Spain and Brazil. It ap- Pears that during the forty-five years of we existence of this society it has imaued from the press 23,600,000 bound volumen of religious jiverptare, 900,000,000 tracts aud 122,000,000 periodicals, It has performed “a col- Portage what would be equal to 4,400 year’s’ labor of a@asingie individual, It has made $620,000 cash ap- propriation to the Foreign Mission fund and has issued its publications in 14] different languages aud dialects, The most urgent claims are to-day for Spain, Mexico, South America and the Arabic read- ing population of Asia and Africa. Since the war ithas aided in the South 2,800 Sabbath and secular Schools, contaming 125,000 scholars, and has dis- tributed there 200,000 copies of the “United States Primer.”” ‘The Division of Texas, ‘The delegations from the division and anti-divi- sion parnes of Texas were before the Reconstruc- tion Committee yesterday morning by appointment. Governor Hamilton and Judge Paschal were ready to speak in favor of voting upon the coustitution on the Sth of July next, and General Davis and Mr. E. Degener were ready to speak in favor of & new provisional government and against organiza- tion under the Reconstruction Jaws, The parties also divide npon the propriety of removing political disabilines, The Georgia bill having been taken up vy the committee the case was postponed until Tues- day. The Indian Committee and Delegations. The Senate Committee on Indian Affaira held a protracted meeting on Saturday. The principal sub- Ject of discussion was in relation to appropriations to carry out the provisions of the treaties with the various Indian tribes. There is an inclination on the part of the committee to amend the Appropria- tion billin the Senate to meet the requirements of the Indians by increasing the amount to be ex pended inthis profitiess business to the tune of over half a million. There are in this city at present delegations of the Choctaws. Chickasaws, Cherokees, Pottawatomies, Miamis and Saute Sioux. These Indians are here on their annual visit, settling up matters in relation to trust fands and lands, ‘The Atlantic Cables. The object of the bili introduced in the Senate and House to allow the New York, Newfoundland and London Telegraph Company to land on our coasts is purely to prevent the landing of the French cable this summer, which, if done, the Anglo-American Company hopes to be able to buy the cable as it is coiled in the steamship Great Eastern at a very cheap rate, aud thus for a long time kept off compe- tition. The French company will do business tor the French government at half published rates, and pro- pose to offer the same terms to the United States government. Will the present cable concern do the same thing? Tne New York, Newfoundand and Lon- don Company is called the Pioneer Company across the Atlantic. It does not own a dollar in the Atlan- tle cables, but sold or farmed out the exclusive right to land for onethird of the net re- ceipts, They bleed the Englishmen themselves, and then turn round and ask Congress to bleed all the American people for the sake of the Anglo- American company which they have bled. The New- foundiand company have paid about thirty-three per cent on their stock, which has been sold in market at 120, and on which, at par, eight per cent in gold is regularly divided. Good Suggestions for the Census Takers. The followmg memorial was presented on Friday, March 26, to the House of Representatives by Mr. Stokes, chairman of the Census Committee. To THE HONORABLE SENATE AND House OF REPRE- SENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES, IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED:— ‘rhe undersigned, representing life Insurance asso- tions of the United States, respectfully represent to your honorable body that it is of great importance, in the first place, to the people of the United States, in view r= solution of practical questions, constantly arising, in determining the values of life and rever- sionary interests in estates, legacies and successions; in the second piace, to the government of the United States, in provid for the equitable taxation of such life and reversionary Interests, and aiso in view of the Lg ea that some considerable portion of the public debt may yet be converted into an- nuities contingent on the duration of life; and, In the third place, Moe to the interests of associa- tions engaged in the business of life insurance and in the sale of life annuities—that the information — ting population and mortality to be collected e taking of the ninth decennial census of the Unites States, that of 1870, should be as accurate and complete as possible, ‘They would urgently re- present that, in their opinion, the taking of the cen- sus in one day, facilital by prior distribution of schedules to be carefully filled up by householders and others, will prove not merely economical but will conduce to the desired accuracy and complete- ness in the results obtained. And, fur- thermore, they would respectfully suggest that the chief officer to be entrusted with the duties of conducting the inquirtes of the census should be one who Soprosaees the Importance of accuracy, and who is intimately acquainted with the application of the results of the inquiries of the census to science, and es] oe to the deduction of monetary values de] og on the duration of life. Finally, it is manifest that the accuracy and com- pleteness demanded in the collection of facts for the purposes herein specified, if extended to the inquiries respecting agriculture, manufactures, and other in- dustrial interests, would tend greatly to enhance the value of the results obtained. The above memorial ts signed by forty-three of the principal officers of the life insurance companies of the United States, Personal. Chauncey M. De Pew, General George W. Palmer, F.

WASHINGTON, March 27, 1862, If this sessiou of the Forty-first Congress should be extended a month longer than the legitimate ‘yuainess of legislation requires it will be all owing to the perverse action of the Senate tn relation to the Civil Tenure law. We have already had sufMctent evidence of the disposition which prevails in the Senate to subordinate every other question to the maintenance of their power over Execut!ve appolat- ments to ofice, and having gained this object in their own body as fully as could be desired by the Most ardent advocates of the law, they will hardly recede altogether from the position they have assumed at the renewed bidding of the House of Representatives. Yet tt 1s fair to assume the latter will maintain the attitude in wich they Placed themselves yesterday evening, of non-con- currence in the Senate bill of amendment, and a conilict between the two branches of the Legisla- ture is therefore a contingency not unlikely to occur, The temper of the repealers in the House has been sorely tried by the conduct of the Senate. The secret of the vote recorded yesterday in favor of the Senate bill was an impression many members received that General Grant would be satisfied with a& modification of the law if a total repeal could mot be conveniently accom. isaed, ‘There was likewise a disposition felt yy such men as Bingham, Schenck, Farnsworth and Garfield to avoid introduciug an apple of discord into the present delicate organization of the repubil- can party. There was a tlird motive which of late appears to be growing in inflnence—namely, an aver- sion to be controlled and handled by Ben Butier— aud perhaps a fourth cause might be assigned in the reluctance of members to enduring the delay and annoyance which a rejection of the am is sure to en- tal. It isa pretty quarrel as it stands and affords intense comfort to the democratic lookers-on, who, With the traditional instinct of human nature, feel entire complacency at a falling out among foes, It may be safely asserted that Grant is anything but satisfied with the amended form of the Civil Tenure bill. ‘True, tt relieves him from the necessity of haying to give his reasons for every removal; but it fails to relieve him from the unecrtainty of having his appoitments rendered secure and decisive, On the whole, the amended shape of the bill is regarded on all hands, save by the Senators who supported it, as even a worse form than the original, as it saves the Senate the trouble of investigating charges against enepended oficiala, and permits them the optron of restoring their friends Against the will of the President and without being hampered by damaging exposures. The old bill in this particular was of a much more commendable Character. It imposed on the Senate the duty of investigating charges of corruption agamst sus- ate oMceholders, and if these turned out to be wgrant nature the repatation of the Senate directly involved by the action tt might take in the premises. This risk is now avoided, aud the moat consummate scoundrel, tf he have friends enough tn the Senate, can imatntaln nimwelf in office to the iad of his term Without ever bata sho an official exposure of lis character. Many members of the House fated to understand exactly the skilfat alteration which the adepts in jegal twistifieation z the Senate Judiciary Committee gave to the vored under the im. ression tht the frat and aecond sec. jons were stricken it, there was _littie harm in what was left.

TUE STATE DEPARTHENT. WASHINGTON, March 27, 1869, The Department of State of to-day 18 not the State Department of a month ago. The deformed has been transformed, The changes that have occurred in this venerable, gray, dusty and dignified old de- partment have been rapid and radical. The oppres- sive air of diplomatic Aauéeur, mixed with a sort of owlish wisdom, that always impressed one on entering the State Department seemed to have become an inseparabie adjunct of the instl- tution under the management of- Mr. Seward. The officers, clerks and messengers looked solemn and na iroved about with noiseless tread. The books and documents scatiered about appeared to belong to some forgotten age in the misty past, and some of the furniture looked as ifit might have ac- ova rm, ance ged Ihr rotened’ ened thron thout the A rence me and and halls of the buitding, whlch vas onl as terrupted by the stamping of oficial document nee ofthe secretary’s little bell. Itis ro: ly @ fair estimate to say that, under the Seward not one person in ten who had business at the Stat ‘Department felt at all comfortable while in the building, or went away from it bet- ter satisfied or much wiser than when he en tered it, All the employes and subordinates of the Lae go rmap adjusted thelr deportment and conversation in as exact accordance with their great chief as possible; and if one should ask any ques- tion whatever one might expect a reply that would bear at least two constructions, the only decisive character of which would be that ‘whichever should be taken it would be thorot non-committal. Now, however, the st Department wears o lively aa pprignty appearance.
