BY YELAGRAPH TO THE TRINONE. WASHINGTON, Wedunesday, Feb. 6, 1867 In the Senate to-day the House amendinent (0 the Yennro of Office bill was disagreed to. This compels whe House to receda or agree to o Committee of Conference. The polnt in dispute is the right of the Presidént to remave a Cabinet Minister without tho consent of the Semate, -The Houso desires, and the Senate opposes this right. The debate to-day was devoid of special interest, except for the introduction of thePresident’s ney plan of reconstraction by Mr. Dixon, fnd utter indignant and unequivecal re- pudiation by Mr. Saulsbury. Such a split in the Johnson honseliold was unexpeeted, as it ad been re- ported thab the Iiixon proposition was ex cathedra; and Dbad thoassent of all the Conservative bretiwen. Mr. Doolittle, in discussing the Office bill, dgain prom- ised to prove ome of these days that he and the President efood by the Baltimore platform, and that it was not they ut®he Republican party who had deserted it. flunk‘rnpt bill is certain to pass on the motion to ¥éconsider. A telegraphic ervor in yes terday’s dispateh to Tnr Trmsuxe made it appear that Mr. Haris had entered the motion to reconsidor, M, Hauris ehian gédfilis vote for this purpose, but Mr. Wilson; who Jiad-expressed himself as opposed to the bil), and had e gainst it, amticipated him in entering the 1 The recomsideration of the Colorado mud- Nebraska bills Las been postpored to await thesesival of Mr. Nye, who is on his way here trom the Pacific: - They conld probably be passed over tho vetonow. bt it is thonght better to make sure of it, whiek ean be done by a few days’ delay. The first pogtion of the session of the House to-d was oceupicd in the consideration of the Indian Ap- prition bill. This bill has been before the House daily sinee - ladd Eriday, and was to-day disposed of for tho predent. After a shaip debate between son, Windai, Thayer, and Schoficld, who told fear- tul _stories ‘of the. sufferings of the Iudians, and the ‘barbarfties of their white oppressors, the bill was recommitted to fhe Commit'ee, with structions 1o striks out all appropriutic excepting such »s aro for currying. out existing treaty stipula- tions, aud ~to minintain only such Indians as now in the custody of the 'the United Stafes. Jenckes’s bill, regulating appointments in the sivil servieo, was next taken up, and thoroughly discussed. Just before the previous question on its” passage was about to be ondered, Mr. McKeo offered an amwendment to exclude from holding office all persons who had engaged in the Rebellion. Mr. Huwphrey also presented an amendment to provs stfice-holders from using {heir offices for polit purposes, McKoe's amendment nettled the De it | racy, and when Sechenck was about demanding the previonsquestion, LeBlond and other Democrats rose to debate the amendments. Poiuts of order were fuised on both sides, and consideralle squabbling ensued, when Stevens moved to lay the on tho table. This was agreed to by the close.| vote of 71 Yeas to €7 Nays. The objection to | the Lill among the Republican members was thai | its provisions were impracticable. When the | vate ywas -apnounced, Jenekes chavged bis vote from Nayjto Yea, in order that he might move a re- consideration of the vote, and Brandagee immediately action the first thing to-morrow, when there would | be a hope of its passage. At this point some very in- teresting manewvering in Parliamentary tactics oe- eurredl, Blevens was very anxions to veport to'the Touse the bill from the Recoustruction Commutter, | 5 *To provide for the mere efficient Government of | He had gade several | } the insurrectionary States.” sfforts to get the report Dhefore the House, but through the gctivity of the,Democrats, failed in cach, and he was about giving up when the friends of th measure resorted to a little conp d'éeat, which | proved successful. The Democrats were Mxions, n offering bis | Mass « ack, and others of the unterrified | L a not only to prevent vens fre report, but also to kill Jenckes's bill; o, while I lond, Finck, Nil were raining points of order and squabbling with | Jenckes'to prevent him gefting a reconsi | o | himn what Stevens wanted,and asked him to withdraw his motion to reconsider. This Jenckes did, and tnmediately afterward Brandagee withdrew his motion to adjonrn, This left nothing in the shape of Dusiness before the House, and before the Democrats pould see into matters corvectly, Mr. Stevens rose and was recognized by the Chair, and pregented his report, thus ontwitting his Demoerat ic brethren, who were tifis fortunately prevented from giving the House a siege of filibustering, which they evi- dently intended doing. During the reading of Etevens's bill the members gathered around the old an and erowded the aisles, aud listened with great ttention. The Vil seemed to give entire gatisfag- tion to all the Republican inembers, txrrllwu.lj, ay be, Blagham, who tried to offer an amendment, but failed. Even he is fu'favor;of the Lill, whether or ot his amendment is adopted. Le Blond was the suly Demoerat who stated Lis disapproval of the bill. He asked Stevens when he intended asking a vote 6n the passage of the bill. Stevens replied that he would press a vote to-morrow after an hovr's debate, Le Blond then went off into one of his spread-caglo Jaments over the sufferings of the patriotic Democ- racy, in which he implored Mr. Stevens not to press | through such an important and vital measure with- out allowing ample time for debate, and for the American people to ses and read jt. Mr. Stevens re- plied, in effect, that before noon to-morrow the American people will have read it, and it the gentle- man (Le Blond) should receive any tolegrams from the American people objecting to the bill, ho would, before pressing it to a passage, hear them read and debated, and also, that if the gentlemen of the House were willing to have re-read to them the thousands of columns of speeches in The Globe already made on the subject, hie would yield. When Le Blond had tinished, the Honse adjonrned. The House Ways and Means Committee to-day again resumed the consideration of the Tax bill, in- cluding the Whisky tax. The Committee hopo to finish the bill and kave it ready to report by Friday or Saturday. Notwithstanding there has heen strong pressure brought to bear upon the Committee to secure a reduction of seventy-five cents or a dollar per gallon, it was opposed by Commissioner Rolline, and the measure was finally carried through the Comumittee, They have agreed to an important pro- vision to the tax bill in regard to the Whisky tax, providing hereafter that all whisky offered for sale at a less price than the tax imposed by the Government, $2 per gallon, is to be seized and confiscated. Tt is belioved both by the Committee and the Con that it will effectually prevent Swhisky being thrown nupon the market by those who evade the law and are cheating the Government out of thé tax. There are other stringent regulations which the Committee adopt that will, it is believed, provent frauds in‘the futurein the manufacture of this article. Phe Tariff bill will not be taken np until the Tax bill is finally digposed of by the Ways and Means Committee, T{ is probable that the bill which the Committes are instructed to report to prevent any further reduétion of greenbacks, will not be reported Hefors the Jast of next week. The President to-day appointed James Lewis rof the Ninth District of @bio, vice Baker, rejected, He is Radical Republican. Nominations have also been agreed npon of persons of @ siwilar shade of politics, of Postmasters and Colloetors, in place of these recently rejected.

It provides that hereafter the President, as Commander-in-Chief, shall not have power to forward any orders direct to the Army, but through the hands of the General of the Army. « Secretary Seward to-day sent a note to Thad.
