Mr. Garfield (Ohio) moved to amend by requiring the public printer to furnish a complete index of the contents, and said he would move a similar amendment to all re solutions to print pamphlets, etc. The amendment was agreed to and the resolution adopted. The Speaker announced the following ap- pointments to fill vacancies on committees caused by Mr. Radford being excused from service on them. On the Committee on Elections, Mr. Nich olson; on the Committee on the Pacific Rail- road, Mr. Hubbard (N. Y). Mr. Ancona (Pa.), from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported back, with a substitute, the joint resolution expressive of the thanks of Congress to Major-General Winfield S.Hancock, for his gallant, meri torious and conspicuous share in the great and decisive ,victory of Gettysburg. The substitute was agreed to and the bill passed. ' He also reported a bill to extend the jui-is diction of the Court of Claims, by giving it jurisdiction to hear and determine all claims ofpaymasters commissaries of subsistence, and other disbursing officers of the United States, for relief from responsibility on ac count of losses of public funds or vouchers, by capture or otherwise, during the late War. On motion of Mr. Conkling the bill was recommitted and orderedto be printed. Mr. Deming (Conn.), from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported back, with amendments, a bill to revive the grade of General in the United States army. It au thorizes the President, whenever he shall deem it expedient, to appoint, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, a General of the Army of the United States, to be selected from amongst those officers in the military service of the United States most distinguished for courage, skill and ability.. It fixes the pay proper at $4OO per month, and the allowances the same as were given to the Lieutenant General by the act .of February 19,,1864, reviving that grade. Mr. Deming said he would not ask the House to consider the bill now, but would ask its postponement as a special order till Tuesday next. It was so ordered. On motion of Mr. Darning, the Commit tee on Military Affairs was discharged from the further consideration of the joint reso lution for the relief of certain comissaries of subsistence of the United States army, no legislation on that subject being deemed necessary. Mr. Ketchum (N. Y.), from the same committee, reported an act for the relief of Rev. D. H. Hermance, late Chaplain of the 328th regiment New York 'Volunteers; which was considered and passed. • Mr. Rousseau (Ky.), from the same com mittee, reported a bill granting lands to the State of Oregon to build a military road. After considerable discussion, in which Messrs •Rousseau, Henderson, Conkling and Wilson (Iowa) participated, the bill was, on motion of Mr. Rousseau, referred to the Committee on Public Lands. Mr. Ancona (Pa.), fromthe same commit tee, reported a bill for the relief of John C. McFerran, Paymaster of the United States army, to allow him in the settlement of his accounts the difference between an amount receipted for by him, as contained in a strong box, and the amount which it actually contained. After considerable discussion the bill was recommitted. Mr. Schenck, from the same committee, reported,a joint resolution appointing managers for the National Asylum for dis abled volunteer soldiers, which was con sidered and passed. Mr. Schenck, from the same committee, offered a resolution, which was adopted, directing the Secretary of War to commu nicate to the House a list of all persons or firma engaged in the manufacture of arti cial limbs, who have been employed or au thorized to furnish, arms, legs, hands or feet, of their invention or construction, to soldiers at the expense of the Government; also a list of the names and residences of all soldiers thus furnished, indicating also, in the case of each man, what artificial limb or member has been provided for him, what date, what cost, and from what maim lecturer. Mr. Schenck (Ohio) from the same Com midee, reported a bill for the paymasters of the . army. It provides that there shall be . allowed and paid the paymasters and addi- Aional paymasters of the army who have been employed in the payment of troops • during the war of the rebellion, a commis sion of one-fourth of one per cent. on all sums actually disbursed by them as a corn pensationlor the risks and labors attending such service. The amount that may be ...come due under the act shall be paid by any paymaster of the army out of moneys ap propriated for the pay of the army, or on certificates to be issued by the Second Au •ditor of the Treasury, that the accounts of such paymaster or additional paymaster have vided, That said commission to any one paymaster shall not exceed the rate of one thousand dollars per annum, for the time he was actually in service and employed as a disbursing officer from -the commence ment of the War, to the cessation of hostili ties on the 13th of April, 1865. The bill was read twice, and then, the morning hour having expired it went over till to-morrow. The next business in order was the mo tion made by Mr. Driggs (Mich,) to recon sider the vote whereby the bill to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy was re jected about a week since. Mr. Conkling (N... Y.) asked whether, if the vote was reconsidered, the friends of the bill would permit earlier votes to be also re considered, so as to admit amendments, or Whether they would consent to its being re- COMM] tted. Mr. Jenckes (R. I.) replied that if the' bill reorganizing the Judiciary, which had recently-passed-the Senate, should become_ a law, it would necessitate some modifica tion of the details of this bill, and suggested that such modification might properly be left to the Judiciary Committee of the Senate. But if the gentleman from New York had any important amendment to suggest he would like it to be offered now. The Speaker said that no amendment could be offered to the bill in its present shape, and that the vote ordering it to a third reading could not now be reconsidered; but that the, bill could be recommitted,with or without instructions. - Mr. Jenckes intimated that- a:: recommit-: tal of the bill would be in effect its' defeat. Mr. Conkling asked whether it would not be . acce — rtable tol4*i it recommitted, with leave to report of any time. Mr. Jenckes replied that that was not: a matter for him but for the House to decide. He understood the objections of the gentle man from New York to be simply to the ma chinery of the bill. Mr. Conkling said that the objections were lot designed at all to diminish the credit to the gentleman from Rhode Island and to the Select ComMittee for preparing a bill which contained many very valuable prin ciples and provisions and he was quite ling,to vote for it if some of the objections, which to him seemed- unanswerable, were removed from it. Mr. Cook (Ill.) intimated that his objec tion to it was that it overruled the Home stead exemption laws.of the State of Illinois. He was unwilling to exchange the one for the other. - - Mr. Spaulding (Ohio) gave it as his opin ion that the bill as it now stood was the best bankrupt or insolvency law to be found in the land. He had submitted it to the exami nation of some of the best business: men of the country, and their report of it was that it was to be considered as an act in favor of creditors rather than of debtors. The first question being the reconsidera tion of the vote by which the bill was re jected, was taken by yeas and nays, and re sulted, yeas 83, nays 45. So the vote rejecting it was reconsidered. The question than re curred on the passage of the bill. Mr. Driggs (Mich.) moved the previous question. Mr. Conkling asked him to withdraw his motion, that he might move to recommit, with leaveto report at any time. Mr. Jenckes thought the• question might as well be met now, leaving details to be settled hereafter. The previous question was seconded. The vote on ordering the main question was taken yeas and nays, and resulted yeas 68, nays 67. Mr. Jenckes offered to let the vote on the passage of the bill be taken on a day to be fixed. Objectionwas made, and the House proceeded to vote by yeas and nays on the passage of the bill. The vote resulted, yeas 70, nays 73. The following is the vote in detail : YEAS-Messrs.

Y.) subsequently introduced the same bill with some modifi cations, and it was read twice and referred to the Select Committee on the Bankrupt Law. The House then proceeded to the business on the Speaker's table, when the following matters were taken up and disposed of: Senate amendments to the act to incorpo rate the Mutual Fire Insurance Company of the District of Columbia. Referred to the Committee for the District. Senate amendment to the act to reimburse the State of Pennsylvania for money advanced the Government for war pur poses. The amendment, which was simply to fill a blank with the words March 14, 1864, was, on motion of Mr. Myers (Pa.) concurred in. The Senate bill to provide for the disposal of certain lands therein named was read twice and referred to the Committee on Public Lands. The Senate bill to amend the act granting lands to the State of Oregon to aid in the constructional a military road from Eugene city to the eastern boundary of said State. Referred to the same Committee. The Senate joint resolution respecting the burial of soldiers who died in the military service of the United States during the re bellion was considered and passed. The Senate joint resolution respecting bounties to colored soldiers and pension bounties and allowances to their heirs was read twice and referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. The Senate bill to provide for the revision and consolidation of the statutes of the United States was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The Senate bill granting certain lands to the State of Michigan to aid in the construc tion of a ship canal to connect the waters of Lake Superior with the lake known as Lac La Belle, in said State, was read twice and referred to the Committee on Public Lands. Mr. Bidwell (Cal.) from the Committee on Agriculture, reported back the bill to amend the fifth sectionlof the Agricultural College bill, by extending the time within which its provisions should be accepted and such colleges established. After considerable discussion and propo sitions to amend, the bill was recommitted, with authority to report at any time. Mr. Kasson (Iowa) from the Committee on a Uniform System of Coinage, Weights and Measures, reported back a bill to au thorize the coinage of five-cent pieces. It directs that, as soon as practicable after the passage of the act, there shall be coined at the Mint of the United States a five cent piece, composed of copper and nickel in such proportion not exceeding twenty-five per cent. of nickel as shall be determined by the Director of the Mint, the standard weight of which shall be sixty grains, with no greater deviation than four grains to each piece. The shape, weight and device of the coin to be determined by the Director of the Mint, with the approval of the Secre tary of the Treasury. In reply to questions, Mr. Kasson stated that the Director of the :Mint had prepared a suggestive model, somewhat larger in di ameter than the three cent piece kulhoriied by the last Congress. It was left in the bill, as is usual in the case of the smaller coins, to the discretion of the Director. of the Mint and the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Grinnell (Iowa) inquired what the device was. Mr. Kasson could only say it was not the intention to provide it with the head of any living person. Mr. Thayer (Pa.) remarked that that was satisfactory. Mr. Conkling suggested that if the new coin was to be sixty grains in weight' it would be larger than the old copper cent, which only weighed sixty-one grains. Mr. Kasson thought his friend was mis taken as to the weight of the old cent. Mr. Thayer suggested that as 25 per cent. was to be of nickel, it could not be the size of the old copper cent. Mr. Conkling asked why not, as nickel was lighter than copper. Mr. Thayer admitted that, but said it was infinitely more malleable. Mr. Kasson thought it quite safe to leave the matter in the hands or the authorities of thet,Mint, who were opposed to large coin. Mr Garfield inquired whether the coin. would be intrinsically worth its nomi nal value. Mr. Musson replied certainly not ; it was to be used as a mere temporary coin, better than paper, and to be subsequently redeemed._ Mr. Garfield hoped the country would not have another standard. of value. The bill was passed. - Mr: Davis (N. Y.) presented a joint reso lution of the New.ork Legislature, in, re gard to the representation in Congress of the States lately in rebellion. Mr. Donnelly }Minn.) introduced a bill;to establish a new land district in the State of Minnesota, to be known as the Northwest ern Land District. Read twice, and referied to the Committee on Public 4 Lands. Mr. James M. Humphrey (N. Y.) intro duced a bill to provide for and to regulats ISE DAILY LIVENING. BULLETIN : PHIL ADELPRIA. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11,1866. _ . the weighing of exports, and for other pur poses. Read twice and referred to the Com mittee on Commerce. This bill fixes the annual salary of weighers at the port of New York at s2soo,provided the increase of com pensation shall not eeed the amount of fees earned. • Mr. Farquhar (Ind.)" asked leave to, offer a resolution, directing the Committee on In valid Pensions to inquire into the expedi ency of annulling the existing pension laws by, providing, first, that all pensions here after granted shall be in the amount dne to the rank held by the person at the time of his death, discharge, or muster-out; second, allowing every pensioned soldier to draw an nually one uniform suit of clothing; and third, to pay pensions quarterly instead of alf-y. early. Mr. Harding (Ken.) objected, and then, at a quarter past four o'clock, the House ad journed. The Controllers of Pahlie Schools. This body held a regular Meeting yester day afternoon. A large number or com munications from the several local board were presented and referred to committees, and the appointments of various teachers were confirmed. The following communication was pre sented: "We,the undersigned,at present pupils of the Central High School, having Lull con fidence in the efficiency of Prof. N. H. Ma guire, and in his ability to discharge the full duties of his position as he has hitherto done, convinced from the testimony of others, and by our own experience, that at no period of its existence did the school en joy a higher degree of prosperity than at the present time; and, feeling that much of this is owing to the well directed efforts of Prof. Maguire, and confident that an impartial investigation will fully convince the 13oard and the public of these facts, respectfully offer this as a remonstrance against his re moval, and petition for his continuance in the position be so worthily occupies." There were over two hundred boys' names signed to the document, with . an appended note that the pupils of Division H, number ing 191, had not been asked to sign the me morial, because they"haffbeen in the school but a short time. • Mr. miles offered a resolution that this document be laid upon the table, as it was an act of disrespect on the part of the boys, and that the Committee on High School be directed to notify the lads, with proper rep rimand, that the act was an undue inter ference and impertinence on their part. This resolution was adopted by a vote of 11 to 7. A resolution was offered by Mr. Mclntyre to remove the restrictions relative to age upon the admittance of boys in the High School. Postponed for one month. The Committee on High School investiga tion into the alleged inefficiency of Pro fessor Maguire introduced a resolution re questing Councils to appropriate $lOO for the investigation. Adopted.
