I pat has lately attracted much
eir attention. In the countries named
.erweßelgian pavement is in general use for
, : U‘iage ways; but the blocks used are not
and the courses are generally laid at
-rght angles to the line of travel. The side

04 , ,:as close as they can be placed, points down
'k c g i e, ':iimd flat base, up, . and then rammed to a
tre ~smooth and even surface. These, General
1 , Meigs remarks, make a pavement easier to
i 'the foot than either flags or bricks, and, if the
Stones are sorted and laid in patterns„ far more
e' fieasing to the eye than either. A space
'4la ! l i*fi:tad every fountain or statue in the public

gation and conducted it with an honest par
peso to arrive at the facts of the case, and
to lay the responsibility :of the proceedings
wherever the evidence should show
that it belongs. But even among these gen
tlemen there is it division, some hesitating to
pronounce censure upon any act of such an
august body as the'now famous ten directors,
while others are ready, without fear or favor,
to lay the blame where it belongs, and,to dis
charge a public duty without partiality or
personal consideration. A very small mi
nority,—and It is most honorable to our Re
publican Councils that it is a very small one—
seem to haVe gone into this Committee sim
ply to screen these directors from that public
censure which their outrageous behaviour to
ward Major Smith merited, and all their en
ergies and talents are concentrated upon that
design. Meantime the evidence is being
printed, and the public will be able to judge
of the case without the aid of that light
which may or may not be thrown upon it by
the report which may accompany it.
The delay in making the report will go far
to deprive It of weight with the community,
especially if it should prove to be of the non
committal order. If those gentlemen who
are ready to make a report cannot prevail
upon their colleagues to unite upon one, they
should come into Councils, state their case
and ask permission to make a report. This
course_ would show the public where the
fault of the delay rests, and would I probably
result in producing the document. ,
A BAD BOY.
When a boy is .placed under an. employer
whom he does not like, or is giveh work to do
which he wishes to escape, it is a common
ruse for him to misbehave himself just enough
to procure his dismissal. General Meade
seems to be conducting himself like one of
these bad boys. He has only been at his
work about a fortnight and he has already be
gun to make himself disagreeable. He has
recognized the loyalty of the Alsbama Con
vention by validating one of its orders, which
stays the collection of debts for a year, except
claims for labor and hire. He has fjrtitled
himself with the authority of General Grant
to remove the State Treasurer of Georgia if
he should prove disobedient to his commands.
And now it is rumored that he has de
capitated Governor Jenkins, of Georgia, and
that General Dana, a horrid' Yankee, reigns
in his stead. Manifestly, General Meade is a
bad boy and must be punished. He cannot
possibly plead ignorance of good behavior,
for has he not General Hancock, the Pattern,
before his eyes? Do not their properties join
each other, and has he not, read President
Johnson's message to Congress? General
Hancock is a good boy, and likes his em
ployer and his work, and General Meade, if
he chose, could.copy his conduct, and be a
good boy too. Th4Nationalintelligeheer,
which is :Mr. Johnson's mouth-piece, pats
General Hancock on the back, and gives him
a big piece of editorial gingerbread, becauke
he, does not wound the feelings of the inno
cent little rebels in New Orleans by
wearing his soldier-clothes. He goes
about in citizen's dress, just as General Meade
always did in Philadelphia, and just as most
sensible officers do when not on actual duty.
It is usually done as a mere matter of good I
taste, but the President sees in General Han
cock's case another evidence of his likeness to
the Father of his country, who, by the way,
was always in full dress. Mr. Johnson signi
fies to the country that General. Hancock
dresses to suit the delicate tastes of the people
of New Orleans, who are supposed to be
fully prepared for restoration, to their privi
leges as American citizens, but to whom the
sight of the uniform of an American officer is
so hateful that he must not wear it in their
presence.
But what Iv ill Mr. Johnson do with this
bad boy in the Third District? It is stated
that Governor Jenkins has flown upon the
wings of electricity to the sheltering arms of
the Federal Executive, and claimed his pro
tection. General Meade seems to be going
for his directions where Congress evidently
meant him to go, and takes his orders from
General Grant, instead of that would-be
fountain of all pow er, Andrew Johnson. It
is not in human nature—at least not in John
sonian human nature—to tolerate such con
duct as this, and the next news will be that
the bad boy will be sent back to the North
again, as utterly unfit to deal with the tender
sensibilities of the unreconstructed. The only
trouble is that the President is rapidly using
:411) his Major and Brigadier Generals, and he
will have the Third Military District on his
hands, with the question "What will he do
with it? without material for an answer.
Why could not the Commander-in-chief of
the Army and Navy-of the. United States take
.command of the District for awktile himself ?
AN IRISH OPINION OF FENIANISSI.
That people of one country, or even of one
part of a country, may differ on political,
social or commercial questions; need not be
questioned in the United States. But there
are not always as sound moral and practical
reasons for such difference, as are to be found
in the article quoted in toglay's paper from
the Belfast _News, on the Fenian question.
in that article, an intelligent Irish writer
gives facts and figures concerning the dilli
culties in Ireland, which are 'worth all the
Manchester murder and Fenian mock fune
rals that can be imagined. The question
of the wrongs of Irishmen is not one - that
Americans, or any other people not Irish,
need concern themselves about especially,
unless they are prepared to give some practi
cal aid to one side or another of that ques
tion. But it is worth while to read and con
sider the opinions of a writer who is closely
and personally interested in the subject, and.
therefore, we ask attention to the article in
another column, entitled "What the Discon
tented might do for Ireland." The real
friends , of "Poor old Ireland" will find in it
a good many facts as well as opinions that
are worthy of,earnest consideration.'
TOO RICCIJ PEIRDON.
The thirty-three Senators and one hundred
Representatives of the I'eunsylvartia Legisla
ture have voted themselves a "Purdon's
Digest" a-piece, at then public expense. An
many of the members have been bolting _a
"Putdon" yearly, for some time past, it be
comes a serious question bow much. 'Purdon
a single legislator can digest. IL is certainly
important that • every member shoidd be sup
plkd with one copy of thin work, but it must
be raiment.° the literary and legislative atom
sett of any man to digest a fresh ,Pardon
every winter. Would it not be well either to
limit the atapply to riew membere, or to
THE DAILY EVENING 13IILLIIITIN.-PHII.JADELPIEEIA, MONPAY„TANUARY TSC
quire the old members to Prove that they
have thoroughly digested their last Pardon,
or better still to allow every member to in
dulge in unlimited Purdon at his own ex.
pense? As retrenchment is to be the order
of the day for the present session, we shall
hope to see a wise abstinence from all over
doses of personal perquisites at the public ex
pense.
The ,S'unclay Dispatch has always been
the special champion of a Volunteer Fire
Department.. It lets slip no good opportunity
of advocating the continuance of the old
Philadelphia system, and it allows no chance
to pass unheeded of attacking 'a paid depart
ment. In an article published in its columns
yesterday, the Dispatch takes the figures
given as the cost of the New York paid
system, and from them argues the question
on the ground of the great:expensiveness of
the paid department. Among other things,
it says: "In 1804, when instituted, with all
the extraordinary expenses which are usually
necessary upon the starting of a new experi
ment or making a great radical change, the
the cost of the New York Fire Department
was e 552,073 33." It so happens that these
figures represent the cost of the volunteer
department for the year named, and they
have no reference whatever to the New York
paid department, which is an institution of
later growth. Now, to use the argument
suggested by the logic of our cotemporary:
If a volunteer department cost $552,073 33
in 1864, when•there were none of the extra
ordinary expenses which arc usually neces
sary upon the starting of a new experiment
or making a great radical change, is it any
evidence of the great expensiveness of a paid
department which goes into operation with
all these costly contingencies to contend
with? The -half miMion and odd dollars
drawn from the New York city treasury in
1801, went for the payment of men who pro
fessedto be working for nothing and finding
themselves, and not to meet the great cost of
a "new experiment," "radical change," &c.
This certainly is a distinction with a differ
ence.
If Mr. Dickens would give an afternoon
reading during his course in Philadelphia, it
would afford very many persons a chance. to
hear him who otherwise will be deprived of
the opportunity. All along the lines of rail
way, travel tb6re are country seats, towns
and villages, where there is quite as - much
refinement and intelligence as. is to be found
in the most favored quarters of the city. The
residents of these rural ' districts are as
familiar with the printed works of the great
novelist as the people of the city are; but
there is a virtual embargo upon their at
tendance at any entertainment in the city
which does not close earlier than ten o'clock
in the evening. An afternoon reading would
enable the residents of places as far distant
as Wilmington, West Chester, Princeton or
Lancaster, to reach their homes in good
season after enjoying the intellectual treat.
•
“The World at home." •
The new Philadelphia monthly • magazine,
called The World at Home, deserves to -have a
great success. It differs from all others in some
respects. Its contents are chiefly stories, several
being translations from, the French. The opening
article is the first part of a tale by Alexandre
Dumas, called "Madame de Chamblay." All the
tales indeed are excellent. There is some good
poetry interspersed, including a fine sonnet by
Shelley, not . included in his , Pub
lished works. • Under the head of "The
Borne Department" there is.a variety of pleas
ant and useful reading. The Editorial Depart
ment, Monthly Summary of News, Book Table,
"Corner Cupboard" and "Comicorama" are all
good. The fashions and cookery also receive at
tention. Messrs. EVans & Co. have got out a
splendid first number, and they have the talent
and um gy to improve on it. The premiums to
be awarded to subscribers will attract attention.
Among the illu,trations of the first number, the
portrait of Dickens is unique in style, and a
good likeness.

ny the Atlantic cable.
VIE,A, Jun. 13.—Bespatches bare 13 eat re
ceived from the South, which Indicate that a
more liberal Policy is to be pursued by the Sub
lime Porte, in ihe matter of the Eastern question.
A decree has been , issued, guaranteeing not only
equality of rights in Candla, but the suspension
of the collection of taxes for tlic period of two
years.
XLth Conaressecond Session.
Elounr.--Continued from Fourth Edition.]
The question on suspending the rules,waa taken
by yeas and nays, and resulted yeas, 116; nays,
44.
The rules were suspended, and the resolution
was agreed to.
Mr. Bingham thereupon reported a bill, addi
tional and supplementary to the act to provide
for the more efficient government of the rebel
States, pasted March 2d, 1867, and to the acts
supplementary thereto, and it was read twice
and r: committed.
Mr. Bingham at the same time Informed the
House that he would not insist on the last clause
of the resolution, but would let the debate con
; thine on Wednesday and the next day, If the
House desired it. Ho merely asked to have it
made the special older from day to day, until
disposed of.
The Speaker notified the liouv, that by the
terms of the resolution, as adopted under sus
pension of the rules, no dilatory motion would
be received after the debate should close, and the
House should order the question.
Mr. Eldridge suggested that therefore the effect
of the resolution was not only to enslave the Ex
ecutive and the Supreme Court, but Congress
also.
The Speaker remarked that the resolution.
was
as
explicit In its terms, and that no dilatory motion
could bo entertained after the main question was
ordered. '
Mr. Bingham, in reply to a question by Mr.
Brooks. declared that it was his intention to al
low a reasonable time for debate.
Mr. Loan submitted an amendment, which was
ordered to be printed. The bill, as reported,
ct ffers In the first section from the bill as already
reported in the newspapers. It reads as follows:
—"Be it enacted, itc., That in Virginia,North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Aabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana,Texas, Florida, and Ar
kansas, there are no civil governments, republi
can in form, and that the so-called civil govern
ments in said States respectively, shall not be
recognized as valid or legal State governments,
. either by the executive or judicial power or au
thority of the United States,"
Mr. Wilson (Iowa) rose to make a report from
the Judiciary Committee,but Mr. Robinson (N. Y.),
rising to a parliamentary question, asked the
Speaker whether the adoption of the resolution
altered the rules, without notice to that effect.
The Speaker replied that It suspended all rules
that stood in the way of its execution.
Mr. Robinson inquired whether all the rules of
debate were suspended.
The Speaker replied that they were not, only
such rules as stood in the way of carrying out
the orders of the House. The same question had
been decided In the last Congress on an appeal
(Tom the decision of the chair by a vote of 151
to 4.
Mr. Robinson appealed from the decision of the
chair, but the Speaker declined to entertain the
appeal, and stated that the gentleman front
lowa (Mr. Wilson) was entitled to the door.
Address of theltepobtiews State Com-
The Alabama State Republican Executive,Com
matte has issued the following address:
Rooms Iterentican CENTRAL EXECUTIVE COM
3111TRE, MONTOoMERT ALA., Jan. '2, 18t18.—It is
thought best at this crisis to say a few words of
good cheer to the auxiliary Committees through
out the State and to the friends of the good
cause of equal rights.
1. The lately ordered change of military com
manders ought not to dishearten. Already the
'party of loyalty and justice his beet - mica power,
capable. under wise counsels, of independently
accomplishing the jii.t r. stilts of the great war
that Is now ended. And there is no reason to be
lie ye that ihose Rho are to Come are coming to
attempt to hinder those results.
'2. Some features of the Constitution that have
L. en :I(optcd have provoked severe and general
criticism. It is just and proper to remark that
enough is now known of the purposes of Con
go as to assure us that while the State will ex
pect to be admitted promptly, those features will
he Fubjeetcd to complete revision. And it is hot
ter far to lie admitted now, and with this under
ctmding, than, after being tossed about so long,
to go to sea again, not knowing where we
land..
3. Enough is also known of the disposition of
Congress and of the Re publican party In this
State to warrant the statement that the existence
of political disabilities in any case need not fet
ter the party In the choice of a candidate for any
cdllee, but that the fact of a Republican nomi
nation will be sufficient evidence of favoring re
construction' to be relied on for the prompt re
moval of all disabilities.
4. Let It be understood that we shall' ratify.
"Conservative's" (?) may rave and timid men re
cant; true men enough remain. From all, parts
of the State the indications are that we can poll a'
larger vote than at the last election. What we
have to do to secure this is to work! work!!
work!!! Let every man consider what he has
di pending on the early'restoration' ofthe State,
and let this he the of his -intdrest In-the

Selli a gt thcr oh the night of the minder talking;

urrt sled in t his bcd, said to an officer, who
proposed to take him to town, ''Well,
I 'won't be long to-night." While at

(Aaron Salmon) traced blood from Dempsey's
unto to the place where Carroll .was found, and
e bitter before expiring said, "Dempsey done
it." Eliza Henderson, who lived in the same
'!(.llFe with Dempsey, testified that Dampsey's
wife told her that "John had been in some fuss,

by Vr. Vunatta, and several witnesAes examined,
but they did not materially conflict with that

It is estimated that should the plan be adopted,
the Governtntnt will realize at least 1100,000,000

desperadoes who have for some Sato pa 4 infested
the eastern portion of the State, committing
nightly murders and ontraesto such ail extent
that the people were completely terror-stricken.
About the latter part of December, the people of
Greer comity were thrown into the utmost ex
citement and alarm by the presence of a bond of
near o robbers who were armed and in the neigh
borhood Ibr purposes of murder, arson and in
cendiurism.
Their capture was effected on information fur
nished by two negroes, respectively named John
Dixon and Harry Coward, who, with a number
of both whites and blacks, conibleted to arrest
the banditti. After careful recounoissaned and,
considerable strut-gY, Needham Speight, alias

HOUSE.—The Speaker proceeded, as the first
business In order during the morning hour on
Monday, to the call of States for bills and joint
resolutions for reference. Under the call, bills
and joint resoluthins were introduced and.referred
as follows: • -
- -
By Mr. Eliot (Mass.), a bill to, continue the
bureau for the relief ot freedmen and refugees.
To the Committee on Freedmen's Affairs.
By Mr. Wood (N. Y.), joint resolution to
limit the time and circumstances regulating the
action of the United States with reference to the'
recognition of belligerent rights of hostile nations.
To the Committee on Foreign Affairs. It
recites that the declaration of war between two
or more belligerent States, which do not, by
hostile military acts or operations, manifest
the fact of being in the' condition of
actual war, is contrary to the prin
ciples of international law, opposed to
the progressiandipresent civilization of the world,
causes grave and irreparlble injury to the in
dustry, commerce and navigation, of neutral
nations, especially where the Interests Of the
latter are intimately complicated with those of
one or both of the belligerents; and it therefore
declares that the United States wilt consider the
state of war tcrminattd lietWeen two or• more
belligerents whenever period of twelve
months has elapsed trout the date of the last
act of war withoUt • a renewal of
hostilities; and that in every such case the Go
vernment of the United States will resnine the
relations of peace, with all, such nations, as shall
be foetid in such state of imperfect war.

POLITICAL.
The liternotral Of Secretary Stanton—
It is Prat/stile Reinstatement and the
Probitible action of the Preindent in
the rreinises.
'lhe Washington ecirrespondent of the New
York llrrald has the following:
Alter a careful canvass of the feeling of a ma
jority of the members of the Senate in reference
to the case of Secretary Stanton, i have conic to
the conclusion that the vote, if taken to-morrow,
v. ill rout: in favor of Stanton, and, of course, in
opposition to the objections furnished by
the President for his continuacec In the
t abject. One-half the radical members
I xprtEred the inselvea as having made up their
males, and es:presaed themselves unhesitatingly
in favor of Stanton. The other half was made
up of those who were amines to hear further
upon the sub ject of those who opposed the prin
ciple of the 'tenure of Office bill, yet saw no
laths; to justity the President in suspending
Stanton at the eleventh hour, when his principal
re ason for said suspension would have
been equally valid a year ago, and of
those who, with no particular love for
Stanton, and rather prejudiced against
him than otherwise,
were yet more or less deter
mined to endorse the prevalent expression of
their patty for the sake of harmony at least.
All were, however, ready to express the opinion
that Howard's majority report would be ap
proved in the main, and as the radical element of
the Senate Is m overwhelming preponderance
this seems inevitable. Senator Doolittle's
minoritt report is said to be very
short, coverlets only four or five pages in
pamphlet form. The greater part is taken
iih extracts from the speeches of Senators and.
members made on the Tenure of Office bill pre
vious to Its passage, the object being to show
that at the time the measure was not intended to
have the effect of forcing upon the President a
Cabinet minister who may be obnoxious to him.
It then tiers up the despatch of General Baird in
relation to the riots at New Orleans, and argues
against the charges contained in the majority
ts port, that the President had interpolated two
words ire the copy submitted to Congress that
were net In the copy furnished to him by Sec
retary Stanton, and were not in. the despatch as
General Baird gent it. Senator Buckalew,
among other things in his speech yesterday,
charged the horrors of Audereonville to Stanton'.,
ace. ant. Ye-morrow Senator Dixon proceeds
with his adds ss in favor of the minority report,
and will no doubt Urge other charges equally tin
palathble against the discarded War Minister.
lie is to be followed by Senator Hendricks on I
the same side, and it is thought the greater por
tion of the day will be occupied in the discussion
of the subject.
The value of Senator Boas is mentioned as
01 , e of the Republican members who cannot be
influenced to join in the vote for Staatton's rein-
sae teem at. Sone persops attribute this to a
per: rsons Lpique of the Senator's against the Secre
tary, brit it Is also, surmised that he Is in consci
entious antagonism to the design o f his p ar ry i n
this matter. and believes the welfare of the coun
try can be better advanced by leaving with the
President the privilege of rejecting or retaining
as member of his Cabinet, as guaranteed to him
by the framers of the constitution.
What will the President do in the event of the
S. nste sustaining
,fittuten and endeavoring Co
force this obnoxious Secretary upon his Cabinet?
To this question it Is imposittle at present to
Pive any satisfactory answer. Ido not think the
resident himself has come to any settled deter
mination on the subject His action must be de
pendent in a great mean'se> upon dream-
Fiances. Grant may or may not vacate
the War Office and turn over the keys
to Stanton upon ' a resolution of
reinstatement being adopted by the Senate.
Should be not vacate, the President would pro
laibly take no action whatever, but simply allow
Grant to continue to administer the office and
thus compel Stanton to resort to a mandamus or
acme other legal proceeding to establish his right
to the position. - In taking this course the Presi
dent— would assume to be ratting
tinder his broad constitutional pow
er -to suspend a subordinate for an
lialefirite period, thus disregarding altogether
theprovialons of the. Tenure of Office act. The
President, itamnst be remembered, contends that
hie power to remove a Cabinet officer is derived
from the constitution, and has not been changed
by a mere act of Congress. Should Grant, how
ever, vacate the War Office all Ithe bid of the
Senate, then the aspect of affairsawonld be very
much altered, and it is difficult to assert what
line of policy the President would pursue. Stan
ton, in getting possession, might reverse the
position of parties and compel the President to
Become plaintiff and institute legal proceedings
to oust the contumacious Secretary. The
President, on the other hand, might
proceed to the extreMity of removing
&Anton mit and.out, and tikes re-open the whole
ease for argument and contest. I have reason to
know that the President is yet discussing all
these points and has not arrived at any satisfac
tory conclusion up to the present writing. He will
act cautiously, and after thorough deliberation,
taking no stand from which he nlay he con
strained hereafter to recede.
General fiteades Dioingta in Georgia.
(Frctro To-derd Herald.)
The white man's party of Georgia, in securing
the removal of General 'Pope and the substitution
of General Meade as commander of the Third
Military District, went to have suffered the mis
fortune of the frogs in the fable ' who, in answer
to. heir prayer for the removal of King Log, got
in exchange King Stork, who without ceremony
procet tied to gobble them up. .Gov. Jenkins was
threatened by Pepe from time •to time, but
Meade makes short work (tribe intractable civil
ian by turning him out'and Putting the Adju
tont-General .of Pope in hW place. A telegram
.from Atlanta, however, states Oita a report .was
current there yesterday that the President had
interposed; and' directed General. Meade to
suspend , his order removing the Governor.,
Pope . heAtattd to - enforce the ordinance of the
Georgia Convention for the relief of debtors in
Staying the collection • of debts.; but Meade
:promptly put it into execution. Again, Pope
"only threatened to make the State Treasury fur
nish the funds for the payment of the members
of the Reconstruction Convention, while Meade
orders the money to ; , •be produeed. From
Pope to Meade, therefore, the Georgians
of the white man's party are out of the frying
pun into the are. The. President was evidently
tnlstakett •in his man in the appointment :of

JAN. 11.—Trade is more backward since the New Year,
then in January last year. The Impart entries, both
Dry Goods and General llierchiuidiso are thus far light,
and the Export of Produce last week was also moderate.
while we have large export of Specie to report, though
this results in partfrom the reimbursements, in Gold, of
the Principal of the Loan of 184747 at the Treasury.
The general business of the week was dell. The holders

wet extablirlied, the extreme range having been from
13e; on Monday to Lei% on Saturday. with the closing
transactions after the adjournment ot the board at
which price was bid. The reaction from 13S.'; has been
snore rapid than was generally expected, and several
values have combined to stimulate it In the first in
stance speculation in the gold room bad unduly de
prtered the premium and the 'short" interest created
was very heavy. The bulls took advantage of the latter
feature and formed a combination to turn the tide against
the heals, which they fully rut:corded in doing. Then
the anti-contraction bill came up in the Senate, and the
gold speculators being by this time nearly all hulls used ft
as an argument in favor of a higher price for gold. They
einstrued it a, bring the first stop tow arts fresh inflation
and no postponing for an indefinite period ail further at
tee Its to return to specie miymente,neither of which inter
pretations is correct It by no means follows that became)
Congress votes to keep the volume of the currency ,ready
that it would authorize a fresh issue o f circulating notes;
but, on the contrary, the snspetigion of contraction is
m
likelj to n' pease the clamor for inflation.- is It
inhabits that the hill in question, supposind it t l become
law, as we trust it tiny. will delay the return to specie

oi contraction the finances of the country were in danger
ef breaking down altogether, and a premature resinups
lion of specie payment Is to be carefully guarded against,
for in this country it would involve own greater disasters
and crone evls than those which afflicted Great !Viten'
between the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo and the
resumptif n of specie payments in lfell and for seaieral
years afterward. tin Saturday the advance in gold
war stimulated by the knowledge that the Ilecaustruc
tien emanates lied agreed to a bill witich it is ex
pected will ho laid before the Geese of Representa
tives to-morrow, and which entirely sweeps away
civil government in the Southern elates, and while con
testing absolutepower upon the General of the army,
makes it unlawful for the President to interfere with the
execution of .the act. This is ce, tainly a disturbing
Cause, and if gold should rise higher in conseq .enfei it
would not be surprising, for nothing morn inimical to
the interested the country at lago could be devised.
Tee Sub-TreasUry paid out during the week $3.-
091,000 in coin on account of • the January interest
and $2,363.250 in redemption of the principal
of the tends of 1847, while it received 831.6.1415.19 from cue.
tome. The flow of specie to Europe °matinees, the ship
ments froth the port for the week having aggregated not
far fu om three millions. The fact that the treasury ham
liven notice to the holders of bonds of 1847, that if they
do not prevent them for redemption before the bit of the
ersuing month they will be considered to have waived
the right of present payment thereof and that the
interest will be continued 'as usual. is hardly .11k ely to
induce many of their number to retain poseession of
the betide for the .simple _reason that the proceeds of
these - can be invested_more: advantageously in fivottecere f
lice. There 1847 bonds are worth 163 in gold, 'while Ryes
twenties of the firat - iseee are Worth only about 71 in
gold at the present price in currency yet the latter
yieln the same amount of interest as the former, and as a
cenrequence the interest which might be made upon the
diffeteree between 71 andlo3 would be. lost tothe klent
of the bonds of 1847, who refuse to part with them be-
MIRO the interest payments are to bo continued.

The Ordnance Frauds.
[Special Dopalch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
WASHINGTON, January 13.—The joint Com
mittee upon Ordnance will hold a meeting on
Thursday next, to bear read the report of the
sub-committee, appointed to lalio testimony re
lativc to the frauds in the Ordnance Bureau. It
is understood that the report of the sub-committee
will conclude with a resoltition calling upon the
Secretary of War to remove Go'neral Dyer, the
present Chief of the Ordnance Department.
After presenting the new reconstruction bill
to-dny, Mr. Bingham Offered and had passed a re
solution making the bill the special order for to
morrow after morning hour, and 'also that' the
subject shall be before the House cVery day after
the morning hour until a vote is taken.
The resolution provides that when the pre
vious question is called there shall be nadilatory
motions entertained by the Speaker, the rules of
the Douse in relation to such motlotrs being
suspended until the bill is disposed of.-
Mr. Bingham's resolution was passed under a
suspension of the rules.' It defeats the filibuster
lug scheme which It is understood the Democrats
intended to resort to in order to delay the pas
sage ,of the bill. It is evident that a
large number of amendmen is will be offered, as
several have already men prepared. The section
- which takes all the power from the President and
places it in the hands of Gen. Grant will be the
most difficult section to get through as many mem
bers openly assert that this is in direct violation
of the c.onatitution, which gives the President as
Commander-in-Chief of the army, fUll control
of all officers, including Gen. Grant. Both Sena
tors Wade and Sumner approved of the bill, al
though the latter thinks that an additional section
should be added,Koviding for the entire reorga
nization of the Southern States.
