The Contraction of the Currency.
[To tie Hew York Associated Press,j
New Yoke, Dec. 13.— A special despatch
from Washington says that although the
new hill proposed by the Committee oi
Ways and Means inclines to a contraction
of the currency, and agrees generally with
the views of Mr. McCulloch as expressed to
members of the committee, it i 3 still con
sidered very doubtful whether Congress
will adopt' it. The temper of the
House upon the subject of interfering with
the present Btatus of the national banks was
plainly seen on Monday, when it voted
down summarily several attemDts of the
kind that were then made. The proposition
to add $25,000,000. to the currency was not
approved by the Currency Committee, and
the present belief is that neither contraction
nor an equitable distribution of the currency
can succeed.

with others in armed hostility and warfare,
to maintain said action; and Whereas, after
the lapse of more than four years,th'e United

quelling said rebellion, and disarming snob
insurgent citizens, did find, in said district,
formerly comprising the State of North
Carolina, no government organized, or
officers qualified according- to
the : requirements to the Constitution
of the United States, and WMreas, the
President of the United States, by
virtue of his power as Commander-in
- Chief of the Army and Navy, under

order and of relieving his subordinate mili
tary officers from executing details of civil

forms and rules by him prescribed autho
rize certain citizens of the District to
assnmethe execution of said purpose of pre

Washington, Red. 13.— -Commissioner
Wells has completed the tariff bill and laid
it before Secretary McCnlioch.- It is a reve
nue measure and not protective,'differing
very essentially from the bill passed last
session.
Tie North Carolina delegation have pro
posed their' bill providing for a State Go
vernment, and it was presented by Mr.
Stevens to-day. It provides, for calling a
new Convention to: frame a State Constitu
tion, and none bnt loyal men are to partici
pate therein.
The House Committee on Foreign Affairs
had'a protracted session to-day on Mexican
matters. The scheme for lending the credit
of the United States for a loan to that Go
vernment, has again been revived.
Senator Sherman’s new financial scheme
accords with the views of Secretary McCul
loch, as laid down in his report.
LToibe®ew,Tork Associated Press.]
Washington, Deo. 13th.—The President
has sent to the Senate, for confirmation, a
large number of the appointments made by
him during the late recess. These include
the appointment of General Dix as Minister
to Prance. As the Senate has not, as late as
noon to-day, had an executive session since
its meeting on the first Monday of December,
the report that the appointment of this gen
tleman had been confirmed, is erroneous.
