The House thenproceeded to the consid
eration of the special order, being the bill
reported by Mr. Schenck, from the Com
mittee on Military Affairs, on the 14th of
June, to reorganize and establish the Army
-of the United States. •
Mr. Schenck (Ohio) stated that the Com-
mittee•had endeavored to conform to the
views expressed by the House when the
- former Army bill was under consideration.
He proposed that in the discussion mem
bers should be limited to five minute
speeches.
Mr. Davis (N. y.) objected to that.
Mr. Schenck intimated that unless his
propositions were acceded to, he might, at
suggestion of members around, move the
previous question on the passage of the bill
as a whole. He did not wish to do that, or
move the pre,vions question at all, unless
unreasonably protracted, but he desired to
have a prompt business discussion.
Mr. Davis withdrew his objection and the
House proceeded to consider:the bill by sec
tions for amendment, debate being limited
to five minute speeches.
The first section was read as follows :
That the military peace establishment ofthe
United States shall hereafter - consist of
five regiments of artillery, six regiments of
cavalryt fifty regiments of infantry, the
professors and corps of cadets of the United
States Military Academy, and. such other
forces as shalt be provided for by this act,
to be known as the army of the United
States.
Mr. Spaulding (Ohio) moved to increase
the cavalry from six to twelve regiments.
.Rejected.
Mr. Le Blond (Ohio) =moved to reduce the
number of infantry regiments from fifty to
forty. • -*
The, amendment was rejected.
The House then passed to the considera
tion of the second section, which, en mo
tion of Mr. Schenck, was amended so as to
read :
Sc.E 2. That the five regiments of artillery.
provided'for by this act shall consist of the
five regiments now organized, and;the first,
second, third arid fourth regiments of artil
lery shall have the same organization as is
now provided by law for the fifth regiment
of artillery; Provided, that the regiment ad
jutants, quartermasters and commissaries
shall hereafter be extra lieutenants, who
shall be appointed from among those who
have served as officers or soldiers of the vol
unteers in thEt late war for the suppression
of the rebellion, who have been distinguished
for capacity, good conduct and efficient ser
vice, and who shall be subjected to such ex
amination as hereinafter provided.
The bill was gone over to section 27.
There are eighteen more sections to be
considered.
Mr. Rogers (N. J.) presented the minority
report from the Committee on Reconstruc
tion. Ordered to be printed, and a motion
to print extra copies referred to the Com
mittee on Printing.
The Speaker presented a letter from the
Secretary of the Treasury, in reply to the
House resolution of the 4th inst.,
in relation
to sales of gold since January Ist, 1866 by
whom sold, &c.
Mr. Wilson (Iowa) moved the following
resolution in reference to it:
Resolved, That the 'communication of the
Secretary of the Treasury, just announced
to the House, be referred to the Committee
on Banking. and Currency, with instruc
tions to inquire fully into all the facts and
statements therein contained; and that the
committee also inquire whether .any gold
has been purchased for the Treasury since
theist of January, 1865, the amount of such
purchase, by whom and of whom made, the
amount of premium paid, and the compen
sation allowed to the person acting'for the
Government. Also, •that the Committee re
port the dates and amounts of the several
tales of, gold made since the first day of
Jannary, 1866; the names of the Purchasers,.
the amount purchased by each, the time ot
purchase, and all the'cireu.mstances attend
ing such purchases null the amounts paid
the agent of the Treasury; that the Com
mittee have power to send for persona and
papers,
and shall report the result of the in
quiry hereby directed, with such recom
mendation as - maybe deemed proper for the
interests of the Government.
The Speaker said that in view of the im
portance of the resolution, which would
probably give rise to debate, he would take
the responsibility of withdrawing the letter
of the Secretary of the Treasury, so that it
might be presented and the resolution of
fered to-morro w in a full House.
Mr. Spalding, of Ohio, remarked; "Yes,
sir, it will give rise to debate."
The Speaker presented a letter from the
Clerk of the House, stating that he had this
day presented to the President a certified
copy of the concurrent resolutions adopted
yesterday, requesting the President to trans
mit forthwith to the Executives of the sev
eral States copies of the articles of amend
ment proposed by Congress to the State
Legislatures. Laid on the table and order
ed.to be printea.
The House, At four o'clock, adjourned.
Dur Harbor Defences.
• The Secretary of War sent to the Senate,
in answer to a resolution of the 15th inst.,
a communication from the Secretary of the
Navy covering the report of the joint board
of army and navy officers relative to harbor
defences.
The Board consists of Rear-Admirals C.
H. Davis and J. A. Dahlgren, Captain James
Olden, United States Army; Brevet Major-
General J. Y. Barnard, Z. B. Tower and B.
S. Alexander. Secretary Welles favors the
continuance of the investigation and far
ther discussion of the questions which the
invention and experience of the war have
i brought for solution. These inventions, he
assumes, have occasioned dismal:lion and
experiments abroad, and produced many
publications upon the art and implements
of offensive and defensive warfare. He sug
gests the reappointment of the Board by the
President. The Board considered the three
subjects of iron-clad vessels, channel ob
structions and torpedoes. Concerning the
first named, they are asked to settleapprox
imately the character and number of these
vessels necessary as land batteries for har
bors.
They do not undertake a final solution of
the problem of harbor defence, but are
agreed that upon iron-clads our method of
defence must be based particularly where
the channels are wide and the objects to be
protected are of vital importance. They
consider it doubtful whether the destructive
effect of Lmodern artillery has kept pace
with the invulnerability of iron-clad ves
eels moving at a high velocity, and that
there is danger that one or more of sumo
vessels might succeed in passing between
forts and shore batteries, and that, there
tore, a system of obstructions may be ne
cessary for defence. They say it is to be
regretted that Fort Richmond, in New York
harbor, and Fort Delaware, in Delaware
bay, which were built after prolonged ex
periments, were rendered valueless by im
mediately succeeding developments in the
power of artillery.
The report says, further, "It is believed
that nuns have now reached their maxi mu m
limit ot power, at least for naval use, and
that experiments are indispensable to de
termine the resistance of our most recent
works, and the best method - of future con
struction, for neither the protracted experi
ments in England against iron targets, nor
those made by our Navy Department,throw
much light upon these enbjects, being made
with other objects.
The question of the efffelency of channel
obstructions, the report says, seems to be
still in dispute. While admitting that they
have proved falinzei, as undertaken by the
French, for instance, in the roadstead of the,
island of Aix, they credit the failure to
their being attempted on the spur of the mo
ment, without preliminary study or exper
iment.
The boarding torpedoes were used success
fully during the late war in defences of har
bors and rivers upon our Southern coast.
The most success was attained by sensitive
percussion fuses, or some simple mechanism
so arranged as to produce explosion by
contact with the vessel passing over them.
Probably the most certain means of explod
ing torpedoes would be by the use of the
galvanic battery.
Toough, we have derived a knowledge of
torpedoes from the rebels, this knowledge
is very limited. Before they can beauccess
fully employed in 'channel defence as series
of expenments will be necessary to ascer
tain the best manner of constructing them
to avoid leakage, the best material for fuses,
and their arrangement in connection with
the battery wires, and to test various
methods of anchoilug them in rapid Oar
--
rents, exposed to ocean waves,
The Board say: "The untold wealth of
our populous cities and the great national
importance of our naval establishments
make it an imperative duty of the Govern
ment-to. effectually secure these vast inte
rests against destruction by a hostile fleet.
The capture of but one of our important
harbors would involve the loss of, private
and public property far beyond the cost of
all our coast defences, and would, prove a
serious detriment to our military and naval
power."
Good and Bad Character.
A libel suit against Mr. Bennett, the editor
of the Brooklyn Times has been brought by
a New York•politician•named Strong and is
now on trial. Among ate many , witnesses
was the Rev. Elbert S. Porter, editor of, the
Christian Intelligencer; who was sworn, and
testified. Have been a clergyman and
editor in New York some fourteen years;
have known Mr. Strong about ten years—
since he came btick from California. -

because not based on general _report; but
counsel for the prosecution stated that a

Witness—Mr. Strong has two reputations
—one is good and the other is bad; he is a
public man and a politician; his political
friends think well of him and his • political
enemies think ill of him.
Representative Buckland to-day, from the
Committee on Banks and Banking, reported
back the resolution of the. House,
inquiring
whether any National banks in the South
had had preference over banks in other
States in the preparation and delivery of
circulation, with a letter from H. R. Hui-
Mud, Deputy Controller of the Treasury,
in which the following statement is made:—
"On the 15th of September, 1865, there
were six National, Banks orgahized in the
Southern States which had received no cir
culation, viz.:—Two banks in. Alabama,
two in North Carolina, one in Georgia, and
one in Virginia. It was represented by the
parties interested in. the institutions,, par
ticularly by John Wilkes, Esq., a son of
Commodore Wilkes, and President of the
First National Bank of Charlotte, N. C.,
that that section of the country was entirely
destitute of currency; that large amounts of
cotton, tobacco and other produce were lying
idle for, the want of money to move them,
and that there 'was much suffering inconse
quence. Believing the country needed
these products, and knowing that, prece
dence in the preparation, of circulating
notes had been granted to the Wisconsin
National banks, at the time their circulation
was driven out of existence by the circula
tion of the Chicago, and Milwaukee banks,
I instructed the engravers to reduce the
time required to prepare the notes for banks
in the Southern States from four months,
the ordinary time, to three months, thus
giving, the Southern, banks thirty days pre
ference. When the order was given the
Continental Bank Company were delivering
notes of the denomination of 416 at the rate
of five banks per day.
"The American Bank Note Company were
delivering notes of the denomination of SlO
acid t.. 134, at the rate of three banks per day,
from which it will appear, and the Ameri
can Bank Note Company have so 'informed
me, that the precedence thus given would
not and did not delay the preparation of
notes for any other bank in its regular order
more than two days. It is proper to state
that this action was taken in the absence of
Mr. Clark, the Controller, and that sub
sequently when the order was ,brought to
his notice it was countermanded."
Murder of a Arminlly of Three Persons
to York County.
Your, Pa. June 19. [Special to the Age]
A horrible tragedy was enacted on last
Sunday evening neir - RossviU.e, fifteen
miles from this place, in which a family
were hurried into eternity by the fell assas
sin's band. The occurrence took place at
the house of Mr. George Sqribbs, which is
situated in a secluded spot in Warrington
township. and resulted in the death of Mr.
Sqnibbs, aged seventy-two years, and his
granddaughter Erirma Jane Selfirt, aged
11 years, Mrs. Sqiubbs being left in a dying
condition. From an examination of the
wounds inflicted it is supposed that the
weapon used was a hatchet, or some similar
instrument. Money is believed to have
been this object of the murder. An Irish
man named Donavan, living in the vicinity,
bas been arrested, and circumstances point.
strongly toward him as the perpetrator of
the foul deed.
The community are intensely excited
over the horrible affair, which resembles
closely in many of its features the Dear
ing murder which took place so recently in
your city.
