Olfli WASHINGTON LETTER.
\t’umsu'rm. l). 0.. June 1:). h‘Tn.
The endent purpose of the Dem
ocrats to upply their indecent uneth
odu so eilectuul in the House to the
Senate, will fail of oll'cet. l’luntu
tion manners on the part of the re
liel llrigadiers in that body received
asevero cheek yesterday and last
night, the occasion being the ell'urt
to crowd through the vicious Army
bill without. debate. The Senate
never has been ruled by the entitling
process and pure partisanship until
mm, but the Confederates are aware
that their assaults on the army and
the Federal power will not hear the
light of intelligent discussion, and so
they crack the whip of the caucus,
and unite in choking off debate. The
result was an all night session, the
republicans resisting the possage of
the bill in such a blind way, and the
democrats unitedly forcing it. The
running fire was as good perhaps as
a fuller debate, and Senators Conk
ling, Blaine, \Vindoin and others
able to expose the evil purposes of
the bill with terrible all'ect. Lamar,
Eaton and Beck on the Confederate
side got very angry and nervous un
der the castigntion; itn«l Lamar went
so far its to charge falsehood upon
Mr. Conkling. The New York Sun

back and forth behind the benches.
advanced to his seat, and said: “Mr.
President, 1 was diverted during the
commencement; of the remarks the
culmination of which I heard from
the member front Mississippi. If I
caught his words aright l have only
to say, this not being the place to
measure with any mull the capacity
to violate decency, to violate the
rules of the Senate, or to commit
any of the improprictius of life, I
have only to say that if the Senator
--—the nn-mber—l‘roni Mississippi,did
impure or intend to impute to me a
falsehood, nothing except the fact
that this is the Senate would prevent
my denouncing him as a blarkguard
and a coward.” This created great
excitement, but it is noticeable that
the Uoniederates had all they wanted
of plantation manners, and will be
apt to halt in their career. It is well
to apply a severe lessiou of this sort
to tin-In occasionally. The loyal
people of this country should tinder
stand that it is only by such unusual
methods as that adopted by Senator
Conkling on this occation that the
encroaclnncnts of the bulldozing ma
jority can be successfully resisted.
Senators Blaine and \Vindom were
also sevore in their denunciation of
the democratic senators for the tneth
()lIS they adopted to force abnoxious
measures upon the minority. and to
reverse the legislation: [nude neces
sary by the war of the rebellion.
The general appropriation bill will
probably go to the President today,
and it is thought he will sign it, al
though it is so full of stupid blun
«lcrs that it can hardly be interpreted
The army bill will 9 rentually pass, as
the Lleinocratic caucus ordered it,
and reach the President perhaps by
Sitnrday. Republicans are divided
on the probability of his signing this
The judicial expenses bill he will
probably veto, indeed, it is semi-ol’fi

and make appropriations without
limiting the executive power relative
to enforcing the election laws, or
will they adjourn and leave the bill
with the President, and probably to
be called in another extra session '3
