LOST LAND WARRANTS, A bill was introdieed in the senate to-day by Mr. Allison of Towa wiich directs (he sec retary of the interlor o issue o G Otis of lowa duphicates of three Porteriicld land warrants, in pursuanee of an act of con- s approved April 11, 100, numbered 16 7, and 120, respectively, upon satistactory proof of ownership and 10ss ol the same, and exeeution of a bond with good and suflicient recurities, in double the market value of the wirrants 80 to be issued, to be approved by the secretary of the interior, conditioned to indemnily the United States azainst presen: tation by an fnnocent holder of the alleged lost warrants, The duplicates shall have a | the legal foree and effect as had the originals The secretary of the interior may require further vroof of loss of the land wartants than that ou file in department before is- suing the duplicates. This bill passed the geniate at the Iast session of conigress, A TALK WITH THE GREAT FATIEL The nine gorgeonsly dressed Indians of {he and Fox tribe, of Towa, were d by the president this morning, An interpreter was with them, but it was not absolutely neces- v, a8 some of thered men ean speak lish very intellicently. They were in the president’s private ofiice for more than half an hour. They are here on business for the tribe, and at the same time have been taking in the sights, They take a lively interest in all that is going on around them. On account of their own paudy habilaments, paint, feathers and togeery generally, they are at- tracting much attention on the streets, Vis- flors at the white house eyed them intently and the Indians made as imposing a proces sion when they filed out as nine braves pos- sibly could. THE AUTHORS' OPPORTUNITY. The senate commnittee on patents, to which has been referred the interna right bill, introduced by Senator Hawley, dirceted its chairman, Senator Platt, to give publie notice of its purpose to hear aathors and others who are interested on the subje No day has yet been fixed for the tirst hear- nig, but the commitiee expresses the hope that all who have views to express on the subject will be prepared to communicate them to the committee verbally or in writing soon after the holidays, RANDALL'S FATLING FIGIT, The failure of the Ruandall hosts in the house to secure retention of power for that Teader means that the bankraptey bill will at Inst bave a chance to stand upon its own merits in the present session of conuress, Randall made a very bitter iight against a chango of the rules, but unfortunately fo him when he had the whole house under his thumb he was not satisied with the use of power but had to abuse it. There is very Tittle sympathy express d here for the deposed Teader, and while some ot those who fought the Morrison bill are willing to give him credit for his shave in disposing of that measure, every man who had the good of the country at heart and the desire that congress should at least do something, is utterly dis- gusted with the arbitrary manner in which the Pennsylvania statesman ruled the country. Said a southwestern congressman to-day, in speaking of this subject : “Political economists in other countric 100k upon this government as a representative one. They have a mistaien notion that the popular will governs. These men know nothine of that little baok published onco a year which is compiled by vy Smith, the Journal elerk of the house, known as the con- stitution and manual. A careful perusal of that work would show that the chairman of the appropriations committee can be, it he chooses, the dictator of the United States, and in fact a gl at the proceedings of the last two sessions of congress wonld show that Mr. Randall has held this country in his Band, and has practically ruled it as thorougn- Iy as the czar of Russin rules two-thivds of the continent of Europe, 1t is for this reason that weinsistupon the change in the rules,and it was because the determination was strong thatthe rules should be changed, that the house deelined to order a call of the state fortheintroduetion of bills on last Monday, THE QUESTION OF SILVER COINAGE. Tho action of the house upon the proposi- tion to suspend the coinage of the standard silver dollay depends almost altogether upon the composition of the committee on coinage, welghts and measures, Your correspondent has the best authority for asserting that Speaker Carlisle fuvors the suspension of this colnage for a time at least. He las made up his mind that it an international bi-metallle standard is to be established, it L only be brought about by a chanze in the coinage laws of the United States. Very stronyg pres- sure 13 being broughit to bear upon him to glve the chairmanship of the eommmittes on coinage to sowe less rabid silver man than Mr, Bland. Whether the speaker will have the conrnge to take this radical step in the direction of better eoinage is a gquestion which has not yot been answered, Those who are in a posi tion 1o know say, however, that the coummit tee will consist of eight wembers known to fuvor suspension, and tive who are disposed | tokeep up the month, The Mera fact that committee will be anti-silver men will not be suflicient to assure action upon any one of | the bills which will in all probability be in- troduced.

It DENOCRATIC FACTION FIGHTS, The temper of the protective tarif¥f democrats in the house during thej past few days has been to demonstrate: the delermin tion to give battle to the free traders in - their onslanzht upon M. I I, and it is quite evident that bel end of (1 o there will be some pretty hard hittinesamong the majority members, Mr. Randall and his following, amounting to ahout fifty vote representing Pennsylvania, Alabama, gia, and other portions of the eountry re determined not to be throttied, that determination they have largely the sym- pathy of the republican members. Undoubt edly M Randall has the support of the pres- ident in agood many of his ambitions—at least, hie is not handicapped by the intluence at the White House, This sympathy on the part of the president is not one of nersonal charseter by any meaus, but of prineiple. The president, if anythivg, on the tariff is consurvative, and oceupies a ground wmidway between the friends of Mr. Randall and those ot Mr. Carlisle. There is not a spark of political teeling, and nota very large aiount of personal sympathy be- tween the two last named gentlemen, while their friends are arayod AEainat each other. It Is only a question whether the leaders of both factions in the democratic party have the courage to exert their senti- ments and do openly what their private in- stinets ineline them to do. One of Mr, Car- lisle's triends, speaking of the subject to-day, il signincant! ‘T'he democrats are in power. The prinei- Ples espoused by Mr. Raund ali und his follow- ¢ not those of the fuajority. The minor- ity must yield, therefore, to the masses. There is nothing goree exasperating to the majority of the democrats than the work Mr. Randall is indulging in. He acts just like & man who considers his party too strong. He may change his mind after a while.” solldly LOADED T'OL TIE SPRING. Consideration of such staid measures as silver coinage, the tariff, steamship sub- sidies, rehabilitation of the navy, inter-state commeree, penny letter postage, postal tele- graph, and the like, will not come fully be- fore congress until the appropriation bills Lave been got out of the way. Of course, there will be considerable talk about these matters and other general subjects as early as February and March, but the downright “tongue-clubbing” will not begin until about Mayor June, Then the appropriations will be fairly out of the way and the coast will be clear for scenes of exciting debate, People who defer their visit to the eapital, therefore, until the summer months, will have the ben- elit of both the charming weather of this climate and the interesting features of con- gress.

The counsel for the supreme lodge then iiled a motion for a rehearing, which the court refused, holding, as heretofore, that the Workmen is an insur- ance organization, and not a fraternity ; that the suprenie lodge s a citizen of the state of Kentucky and must make the ne deposit with the state auditor it it does bus ness in Towa, and that the state lodge is en- titled to the name of Workmen in the state.
