Tariff battles and Indian Bureau shift in Congress
The session reports the Tariff bill advancing in the Senate with amendments on wooden goods and Pacific Railroad iron, while House debates transferring the Indian Bureau from the Interior to the War Department. Windom cites Indian management flaws. Henderson and others oppose changes. Several appropriations pass, including Diplomatic and Consular funds and West Point. Also noted are discussions on alcohol tax, press ads tax repeal, and Mexican question hearings.

Suffrage Debate Divides House and Senate Contests
In a tense session the House passed a joint measure to strike out the word white from the Constitution while defeating a proposed amendment for universal female suffrage. The Senate also considered the proposal, with committee actions suggesting disqualification for corrupt legislators. West Indies dispatches report cholera subsiding in St Thomas, but smallpox and yellow fever raging elsewhere.
