Secretary r ish stated this morning that most of the information which his department had obtained about the proposed icnian raid into (Janada came lrom the news papers, and it was not true that ho was in the receipt of oilicial information to any important extent, such as had been indicated. Tho Cana dians had been unnecessarily alarmed at the ttorics of invasion. Th Winnipeg War. Tho Treasury Department has letters from Collectors of Customs along the Michigan lakes that the British Winnipeg expedition Is certainly making preparations to go through tho St. Alary s l auai. instructions nave ocen issued to prevent it, and the gunboat Michigan has been ordered to Keep a iook-oui.

AdviceB from Wyoming state that the Chcycnnes have mado no new depredations. The Funding Bill. The Ways and Means Committee again dis cussed the Fnndlng bill to-day. The statement is authorized, all reports to tho contrary, that the committee have not decided ou a single feature of a new bill. The Income Tax. " The conference committee ou the disagree ments between the two houses on the income tax had another meeting to-day, but utterly failed to agree. The Senate side was firm for abolishing tho tax with this year, while tho House committee wanted it icit open. Postal Telegraphy. President Orton, of the Western Union, was before the House special committee on the pos tal telegraph, to-day. Gardiner Hubbard made a speech ln support of the system, but opposed to tho pending bill. No vote. Orton also op poses the bill. The German Radicals met in mass meeting last night and utterly repu diated the municipal government here, declaring that tho negroes were idle aud worthless aud supported at the tax-paj-ers' expense. Pacific Railroad Projects. An effort is being mado to harmonize various Pacific Railroad interests in the Southern States, so as to get them all agreed upon one general road. Several parties are here before the Senate and House Pacific Railroad Committees to-day, advocating the concentration of all projected roads upou Fremont's transcontinental route. Nearly every Senator from tho Southwest has a road of his own, and It looks as If, through per sonal quarrels, nothing would bo accomplished. Fremont professes to have enough strength to get his bill passed independent of other combi nations. The Tariff Bill. The Wavs and Means had tho Tariff bill up ln committee again to-day, and considered the pro priety ot striking out several paragraphs likely to lead to protracted discussion. An effort will be made next week to lay tho bill on the table in order to test the House. A desire to gel rid of It is becoming general among members. The nanklng and Currency Committee are ready to report Ingersoll's forty- live million bill, but the general opinion is that it will be defeated, and that 8hermaus bill for the Usue of ninety-live millions national bank notes and the withdrawal of an equal amount of greenbacks will be adopted, ihe commutes will not make a favorable report on Ingersoll's bill, as they regard It as an Inflation scheme.

Was the House to go back ou thut solemn resolution at the arrogant demand of lobhy Isis, atd monopolists, and speculators? . Was the country to imitate the feudal system of medlieviU Europe, by bestowing vast tracts of lands on indi viduals, Instead of keeping tho publio lands fur homesteads for Industrious poor men? He hoped the House would not any longer en. couruge that policy. Since the establishment of the Government there bad beeu given sway for pur poses of education 78,0oo,ooo acres of the public lands, and lSB.OOO.OOO to build up the fortunes of crafty and unscrupulous men. No less than 150,000,000 had beeu granted to corporations within the last tun years. If that policy were continued it would not be long till there would be no publio lauds left for homestead and pre-emption purposes, for which i over ten millions had beeu taken last year.
