IUHI Lock Over (lie Arotrlnl.lou. r reared. Washington, April 4. The members of hot Ii Houses are looking forward with apprehension to tlie anticipated dead lock oyer Che appropriation bills. A growing disposition is lu.iuito-sted in each House to lutye ita own way. As to tlie appropria tion bills already sent te conference com tnittues, the military academy conference bail one meeting; but nothing like agree ment wus ma uitesi,. ' The dill'erenco on tin- consular diplomatic bill Is still more serious.

Marshall says the poiluUivxs ol New lurk, Jboston, iuff the peace. better able to accomplish this end 11 in trusted with the Issue of annuities, wheth er motley, food or clothing. The Indians, more especially those who occupy the va"t region west of the Mississippi, from the Kio Grande to the British line, are natu ral warriors, and have always looked n the military, rather than to the civil au thorities of tlie government, fur protec tion or punishment, aud were the trojps to be withdrawn, instant war would be tlie result. If it be the policy of the gov ernment, as I believe It Is, to save the remuant of the- tribes, it can only be sv oomuiplished through the unllUiry author '.ties. These will obey orders and enlorce any line of policy that may be prescribed lor them by law or regulations. fo:jner or later these Indians say the Sioux, Ar apboes, Cheycnnes, Kiowas and Counuun cltes must be self-supporting. And farm ing aud mechanical arts so obnoxious to their natures and tradit'u-is ,tb;tt any hone of their bccomii g agricultiiri-ts can hard ly lie exjifcted. But the Indians see tbe buffalo, elk, auteloiie, deer aud all the largo game fr d'"ir,Pp,irHj, and W"V must raisH csulc and Ij ; or ftave'. in my opinion this is the proper direction to turn their attentiou and which Is the best friend the Indian ever had.

Secretary Chan dler was before tho Clymer committee to day, and testified that tho statements of Detective Bell, as far as they related to himself, were wholly talse. To the best of his recollection he never had any con versation with him and did not know that ho had been employed to help Babcock. He discbared Bell because be believed he was a scoundrel, and gave premptory or ders that bis account should be paid by the pension office, because he had been engaged In illegitimate work. He was not aware until a tew days ago tbat he had been paid. Luckey never spoke to him about Bell, as alleged by the latter, and Bell's story in this respect Is a total false hood.

Dana did usk, through two Senators, to be allowed to go before tho committee; and moreover fie letter published in Boston as coming Irom Dana, on the subject, did signify that ho wished to appear before the com mittee, while that submitted here just took th i opposite stand. - Regarding Dana's rejection the Times' Washington special says the unexpectedly lanre Vote against continuation shows how effectual are the means other than speech making to secure results in that body.

A correspondent of tlie Journal writ ing from Fort Klamath, under date of March Sth, sends these interesting news items: A shooting affray oc curred near here on the 1st, between two herders, resulting In the death of a man named Christopher Parker, formerly, a resident of Portland. A man narqeil AVcst did the shooting; an t AVest's wh'e was at the bottom of it. Tlie husband, several mouths ago discovered! in Josephine County, that there was a criminal intimacy exist ing between his wife and Parker. H left the wjupvuiis soon as ho fouuu she had sinned against him, and came out here. Parker soon followed with a drove of cattle; and shortly after his arrival commenced boasting of his success with West's wife so that if could reach tbe latter's ears. This on ly added to West's agony, which had now bjcame unbearable; and yester day he procured a shot-gun and, hunt ing Parker un, literally riddled him with buck-shot, killing him almost instantly. , Everybody here thinks Parker was served as he deserved -to-be. The fact that Captain Jack's grave sunk, down last summer created considerable discussion ; anil to put all speculation at rest, the grave was opened a few days ago. Strange to say, nothing but an empty rude pine box was fiitnid in the grave. The opinion U now that the bodies of Jack and the other Indians hanged with him were taken Kast preserved in nl-i- iliol shortly ,:fter the lndi-tn.-i sult'er ni death, and that they will be heard of again as inumies on exJiibitioti at the Centennial display in the City of Philadelphia.
