inquiring into facts, in accordance with instruc
tions of the House, relating to the alleged innu
=linty of the rebels in their treatment of prisoners
of war in their hands, and the dead and wounded
soldiers on the battle field. Mr. Deming, who has
the matter in charge, has completed his report,
covering the first eighteen months of the war. It
presents a record in the most inhuman and horri

be civilized.
The Senate was in executive session again to-day
and confirmed a number of minor appointments.
Major. Generals Schofield and Gillmore were
postponed, and some discussion arising upon the
case of Brigadier. General Wilson, it went over

firmed. '
The Senate Finance Committee have incor
porated some forty amendments in the House bank
bill, the most important of which are the right of
the States to tax banks and to fix the rate of in
terest. These amendment are not in accordance
with the views of Secretary Chase, and the bill
will meet with considerable opposition in the
Senate.
The Senate Post Office Committee bad under con
sideration to-day, the House bill to establish a line
of steamers td Brazil, and came to no conclusion
thereon. They have called upon the Postmaster.

Greatinconvenience and loss has resulted from
the recently passed law regulating the franking
privilege, calling forth remonstrances from Gov
ernment officers. Important official papers. ac•
counts and vouchers for large some of money have
been detained and sent to the dead letter office be
cause the words official business" were not
written upon the envelope with the names of the
officers sending them, or because the writers were
private citizens. Every Department has suffered
in this way. To remedy the difficulty-, Senator
Collamer has reported from the Post Office Com
mittee a bill upon the old system, allowing all
communications to the heads of Departments and
Bureaus and their chief clerks to pass free through
the mails.
CITY COUNCILS.
The regular stated - meeting of City Councils was
held yesterday afternoon.
was
ECre T BRANCH.
An ordinance S was pr by Mr. Davis, an
thorizing the Mayor to execute a lease of the Na.-
thane, Beach. and James Pesosll tracts of land,
and part of the. John Brady tract, not already
leased, nnder-the conditions contained in the form
of a lease, approved in December, 1861, at a cost of
one-tenth the price of lump coal at Port Carbon,
for all except Chestnut coal, for which will be
paid one twenty-fifth the price of lamp coal, and
in no case the price to be less than twenty-five
cents per ton. Agreed to. •
The bill from Common Council, appropriating
$5O, 000 to pay the re.enlisted veteran volunteers a
bounty of $25, was referred to the Committee on
Defence and protection.
The Committee on Law reported in favor of
changing the place of voting in the second division
of the Twentieth Ward, and the report was
adopted. The same report was made in regard to
-the fourth division of the Twelfth Ward.
Mr. Miller. of the same Committee, to whom
was referred the ordinance authorizing an exten
sion of the fire alarm telegraph, made a report.
While the bill was under consideration, informs
lion was received that the Legislature had passed
an Act of Assembly removing this disability so far
as Mr. Philips, Superintendent of the Fire Alarm
and Police Telegraph is concerned, and authorizing
him to contract for this extension. Owing to some
informality in regard to the bill, Mr. Miller with
drew it for the present.
The appointments by the City Treasurer were
confirmed.
Mr. Miller, of the Committee to ascertain the
quota of the city of Philadelphia, made a report.
The report referring to the visits to Washington
stated, "Upon the first visit to Washington it was
ascertained that the whole actual quota of Phila.
ealcldated under the enrolment,eXC/ading

of ln P
tas 'and controlled the
years, calls were made upon the Governor of the
State. Ile assigned the quo ,
enrollment and the draft. No accounts were kept
with districts, wards or even counties. In these
circumstances, when in the Fail of 1862 a draft Was
ordered, Councils made efforts to show that she
bad already done more than her duty. The Com
mittee of Councils, in 1862, rcport"d an excess
of t everal thousand men. About the same time,
Messrs. Wm. H. Allen and B. Gerhard, Com
missioners to conduct the draft, were requested
by the Governor so ascertain and report to him
the credits to which the State was entitled, and
on November 3d," 1669, they reported that the city
owed no men. The Governor accepted the report,
and arrested the dratt here, while it was allowed
to go on in other counties. This report was pre
sented by Mr. Miller, at Washington, on a second
visit with affidavits fromthe OCromlssiOners to pay
counties and to relieve-the families of volunteers."
And the result of a third visit to - Washington was
an order, made by the President, striking out -the
whole deficiency of the city for the years 1661
and 1E62, and ordering that the quotas should be
readjusted upon that basis. By this order. the
quota of Philadelphia, under all- the calls of 186.3
and 1814 is reduced to 19,013 men. It is believed
that the city has furnished many more than this
numler; but nothkng appears to be certain in the
way of a credit until its entry on the books at
Washington is secured. 'We postponed a full
statement of our credits, therefore, till greater
certainty is reached. The accounts now kept at
Washington are with each Ward, and while many
Wards have excesses, others are deficient. Un
less the former will consent to give their excess
to the latter, drafting may become necessary. a
It is recommended that a meeting of the :Ward
Bounty Committee be held to commence action on
this sifeject. And while neither the city nor the
general government has the power to take any co,
ercive measures in this matter, it maybe well to
consider vthether the former might not properly
appropriate money to reimburse bounties paid by
warts which may consent to distribute this estsests,
to the extent of such excess. In concluding this
report, it is proper- to say that the action of the
President in striking off the alleged deficiency did
not conclude oar efforts in reference to this sub
ject. Other deductions were demanded which in
volved questions requiring more care and atten
tion on the part of the authorities at Washington,
and were deemed too important to be disposed of
hastily. These claims are still open for discussion,
and we trust they will reach- a favorable settlement
beiore other calls are made.
Mr. Miller explained verbally the claim referred
to at the close' of the report. The Committee claimed
a lorther credit of 6, 000 men, arising out of the oc
currences of 1862 While the State at large was
furnishing nine months' men to avoid the State
dralt, the city furnished three years' men, but
Messrs. Allen and Gerhard, the Commissioners, in
computing the credits,mised thenine months men with
the three years' men, and thus made us square,
while the committee now claim that if the men then
furnished are counted correctly as they were, in
steau of being credited as nine months' men, our
edit would be 6,000 men. The President lef t this
question open for the present.
Mr. Miller thought it best, instead of introduc
.
in g an ordinance, to leave - the matter to the wards.
At the suggestion atm Committee, Major Gilbert
had authority to exe ise his discretion in the mat
ter of credits of the wards,and thus the whole mat
ter could be arranged. The city has a credit of about
3,000 obtained by the draft last summer; there are
14,250 to whom bounties have been paid ; there are
550 seamen credited to us, and we are credited at
large, with 1.100 men who are not assigned to any
particular ward, ta total of 19,400 against our
quota of 19,033.) Mr. Miller was satifted that a
conference between the Ward Bounty Commis.
sioners would result in a satisfactory arrangement,
as racy could not overlook the fact that their own
ward bounty of $25 would have been nothing
without the city bounty of $250. It might be agreed
that Major Gilbert should take the 1,100 men not
assigned to wards, and credit them to wards not
yet full.
The subject was here dropped. Adjourned

Fassett, of the t2d Pennsylvania Regiment, re
