Washington, Dec. 4.—General Cutcheon, chairman of the House military committee, has completed his rough draft of tho army appropriation bill.

Anothor is 5150,000 for horses and scouts, Indian police, cavalry and artillery. The annual item for subsistence is increased by SSOO.OOO to provide food for the added numbers in a campaign. A signilicant parenthetical sentence is one which states that tlx-additional subsistence may bo used for Indians taken prisoners. It indicates that tho possibilities of an extensive Indian campaign in the spring aro being provided for and that tho authorities are looking forward to ranking prisoners of tho unruly redskins who aro now causing the troublo in tho Northwest

A(!AINT TIIK l.OOOH HII.I.. OPAI.A, Fla., Dec. 4.—Tho Farmers' Alliance sat down on the force bill Wednesday. There was no sectionalism in regard to tho matter, for tho resolutions in regard to the measure wero introduced by tho Mississippi delegation, seconded by that from Minnesota, discussed by lnon from nearly all the States North and South, and wero finally adopted without a dissenting vote.

A resolution was adopted, with littlo or no dilforence of opinion, denouncing tho Louisiana lottery and providing for tho submission of a constitutional amendment which will make imnossiblo in any of tho States this and similar institutions.

A committee was appointed to investigate insinuations that corrupt and improper methods had boon employed in tho recent Senatorial contest in Georgia, and that the National Economist, thoollicial organ of tlio alliance, and several State organs had been influenced by Wall street capital. These insinuations have been directed against Dr. Macone and President Livingstone, of tho Georgia alliance.

A resolution has been prepared indorsing Senator Stanford's bill for loaning money on land at 2 per cent, interest, tho mortgages to run for thirty years.

Among resolutions introduced and referred at the morning session was one denouncing tho railroads of Florida for raising the fioight rates on oranges ono providing for a constitutional amendment in i.eoordanco with President Pvlk':! .suggestion for tho establishment of a legislative council, and othor matters appertaining to the internal affairs of tho order.

At tho afternoon session Delegate XV. S. McAllister, of Mississippi, introduced a resolution, which was adopted, denouncing the el- ction bill. The proamble relates that tiie bill involves a radical revolution in tho election I machinery of tho Union, both State nnd National, and its passage would bo fatal to tho autonomy of tho Stale ajid oberishod liberties of tho citizens that in .the lioly war, which thoy have declared against sectionalism tho firesides of tho farmers of tho North, East, South and "West were "tho citadels aronnd which the heaviest battles -were boing fought and, to tho end that victory may crown their crusado and fraternity and unity reign, thoy, therefore, protest against tho passage of tho bill, and earnestly petition the Senators to employ all fair and legal means to defeat, the measure, "which can result in nothing but evil to one common and beloved country."

At tho night session of the alliance Goneral John H. Kice, of Kansas, addressed tho convention on tho improvement of tho Mississippi river, urging an appropriation by Congress of SO,000,000 in addition to SI,(K)0.00!) already appropriated.

Next Saturday has been designated "Labor-dav," and at 11 o'clock T. V. Powderly, Grand Master Workman of tho Knights or Labor, will speak. Addresses will also bo made by Captain Trevollick, Grand Treasurer of tho Knights of Labor, Ralph iteamont, chairman of tho Congressional Legislative conimittoe, and II.

OcAr.A, Fla., Dec. 4.—While-"' the white alliance was in session Wednesday tho National Colored Alliance formally opened its third annual convention, with National President J. S. Jackson, of Alabama, in tho chair. The principal business transacted was tho reading of tho annual address of National Superintendent It. M. Humphrey, who is really the executive head of the organization. There are about fifty delegates present, and they appear to be intelligent men who know what they want and are ready for .business. I

Mr. Humphrey address is a signlficant document, inasmuch as it is out- I spokoti for third-party politics and dociares unequivocally for the Henry Goorge'singk-tax idea. After reviewing tho growth of the order Superir.tondont Humphrey spoke of the doplorablo condition in which the colored people had found themselves. Unable to clothe and feed themselves, a return to abject slavery seoined inevitable. Among tbo causes which retarded the progress of the alliance ho mentions tlio opposition of many people I to negro education and tho opposition of newspapers which aro usually under tho control of monopoly, lie denounced tbo National bunking system and the speculators who sought to contract the currency.

The convention was thoroughly in harmony with the views expressed by tho National superintendent. The secretary's report showed that there wero now enrolled in. the organization about 1,200,00) as members, of whom over "OO.OJO aro mule adults. All of th Southern States are thoroughly organ ized and tiie following aro partially organized: Delaware. Ohio, Illinois. Indiana, Missouri and Nebraska. In round numbers there aro in Alabama 100,00!) members, South Carolina 1)0,000, Mis-issippi ',000, Texas 00,000, Georgia S4,000, Arkansas 20.000, Louisiana and Virginia .YJ.'.IO0, Tennessee 00,OOu, North Carolina 55,00) and Kon1 tucky 25,1)00.

WAKHIN.-ITOX, Dec. 4.—At the vesterday's seston of the House tbo copyright bill was discussed at. some length, and finally passed by a voto of I3t» to 75.

In tinr Senate a lull to reduce letter post.-,}{0 to one e»nt was introduced 1/ Senator Cullom (111.).

Senator Cullom aho introduced a bill appropriating StOtJ.OOJ for the erection of a public building at Danville. 111.

Upon Senator Manderson's (Neb.) resolution that the War Department should loan 1.000 rilies to the Dakotas, Senator Voorhees (Ind.) made a scathing arraignment of tho Goverment policy regarding the Indians, alleging that thoy had been starved for two years and that they considered death in action preferable to starvation. Ho declared that a propor. allowance of food would rcr.tore order. Senator Dawes (Mass.) replied, stating that the rations had been cut down in order to render tho Indians self-sup-porting. He spoko at considerable length, declaring that every stipulation of tho Government with iho Indians had been fnlillle

The debate was interrupted at 2 o'chick by tho election bill coming up as unfinished business.

Senator Turpie (Ind.) opened the discussion in opposition. The substitute, measure, ho said, rested for its support on what ,was called tlio suppressed colored Kopiiblicau volo in tho South. Tho returns of tho election showed an abstinence from: voting, an abstinence much greater in Massachusetts and oilier Northern Statos than elsowhero. Tho extremists, with a meager majority in both houses, said that this was proof enough of, the suppression of the colored vote, and thereupon proceeded to revolutionize tho whole method of Congressional elections. Thoro had been a suppression—a supproftftloi. ull' ll' W1,, bio and„widoly prevalent. The recent census would show that in Pennsylrania, Ohio and Illinois thoro wero about ti.'0,0)0 colored people yet In tboso States no colored man had ever served as Governor or been elected to any dopartme.it of tho Stato government. There had boon not only no proportional division of tho offices— thoro had been nono at all. Tlio sup—" prossion of tho colored votor in the

South was affirmed on one sido and denied on tho other, but tbo suppression of tho colored voter of the North was without question. Senator Turp then proceeded to make a constitutional argument, against the power of Congress to pass a law to regulate the election of itepresontatives in tlio lower House of Congress. Nothaving this power itself, ho said, it could notdelegalo it to Federal election boards. Should this bill become a law the invento- would find in many places the South not dividonds and income, but,chilled furnaces,,, idle mills and smoking ruins. At the conclusion of Sonator Turpie'H speech the Senate at adjourned.
