The Public Deposits.
_
AN IMPORTANT BILL PASSED
The Case Stated by Jailge Kelley.
Mr. Pomeroy, from the Committee on Bank
ing and Currency. on Tuesday, reported back .
Renee bill No. 4io, to regulate. the deposits of
the public lmoneys, with the recommendation that
it do pass. ,
The bill provides that a national bank shall
not be selected ,in any State or place where
there is located a Treasurer or Assistant Treas
urer of the 'United States as s public depoaitary.
All , public moneys collected and received in
any such place for the Government shall be de r
posited with such Treasurer or Assistant Treae
nrer, and shall be subject only to draft of .the
Secretary of the Treasury or the Treasurer of
the United States, as provided by law, and under
such regulations as the Secretary of the,Treasury
from time to time shall deem it expedient to
establish. And any public officer violating this
provision of law and depositing public money
otherwise than is here directed w and any other per
son who shall aid therein,shall be deemed guilty of
misdemeanor, and on coavietion thereof shall be
lined a sum not exceeding 55,000, and imprisoned
for a term not exceeding three years, or enher,xt
the discretion of the court.
Mr. Pomeroy—Mr. Sneaker, I will say that this
bill simply enacts into law a resolution passed by
this House at the last Congress by an almost un
animous vote, prohibiting the Secretary of the
Treasury or any officer under this Government
from depositing public moneys in any other
place than with - the Treasurer and Assistant Trea
surers of the - United States at the places where
they are located.
It has been brought to the attention of the
Committee that that resolution has not been re
garded# and this bill is therefore reported in the
Shape in which it is so as to enforce, if any legis
lative power can do so, the rule that moneys of
the United States shall be kept with the Treasu
rer and Assistant Treasurer of the United States
wherever they are located, and not deposited in
national banks or in afiy other place. I now de
mand the previous question.
The previous question was seconded and the
main question ordered.
Mr. Pomeroy—l now yield to my colleague on
the committee (Mr. Randall,)
Mr. Kelley—l desire to ask the Chairman of
the Committee to give me some information.
Some weeks ago the House adopted a resolution
which I had the honor to' submit, calling upon
the Secretary of the Treasury for a statement of
the amount of money on deposit in the National
banks at the termination of a series of months.
The resolution was amended on the motion df
the gentleman from Wisconsin, by requesting the
Secretary to name the amount in each bank. I
desire to know whether that resolution has
been responded to by the Secretary of the
Treasury? -
Mr. Pomeroy—l believe it has. I think I saw
this morning. for the first time the report of the
Secretary of the Treasury giving the informa
tion. I may be mistaken.
Mr.Kelley—Mayl inquire whether the Speaker
has any knowledge on the subject?
The Speaker—The Chair is under the impres
sion that the resolution was answered two weeks
since.
Mr. Randall—l would say to my colleague that
this bill proposes to break up that whole system.
The Speaker—The Chair will state that the
resolution was answered on the Bth of January.
It was offered pn the 4th. It' inquired for the
amount of Government funds on deposit in the
national bank from the Ist of =June. 1866, to Oc
tober, 1866.
Mr. Kelley—Was the communication printed ?
The Speaker—lt was ordered to be printed and
referred to the Committee ma Banking and Cur
rency.
Mr. Kelley—l would inquire, further, if it has
ever come to the committee?
Mr. Randall—l have not seen the report. It
may have come to the clerk or chairman, but it
has not, to my knowledge, been considered by
the committee.
Mr. Kelley—l_ hope the bill will pass, but I
would like that information to be before the
country.
The Speaker—The Chair supposes It may be
found In the document-room now.
Mr. Kelley—Mr. Speaker, I welcome this bill
as one of the most efficient steps in the right di
rection that has been propose& during the For
tieth Congress. It Is a step to break up a system
of notorious corruption in connection with the
public funds, a 'step by which the Government
will save, I apprehend, from two millions to two
and a half millions in gold, which it has
been paying the banks for investing its
own money, which. it had deposited with
them in its bonds. The average of deposits,
as I learn from the Secretary's response to my
resolution of inquiry, which I have only seen
since this debate commenced, from the 30th June,
1866, to the 31st of October,lB67, appears to have
been, for I have not had time to calculate it,
nearly thirty million dollars. Each bank can
soon ascertain its average balance and it is their
practice to invest it in gold-bearing bonds on
which they draw from the Government six per
cent. in gold for lending its own funds.
The question is asked by gentlemen whether
public functionaries have received a considera
tion for making these deposits. Gentlemen of
the West, do you not know that the banks of
New York and Boston pay interest on the de
posits your western banks make with them?
Do not trustees and others commanding large sums
know that the banks will pay them interest on an
overage line of deposit? Every business man Is
familiar with these facts, and I apprehend there
is not a custodian of Government funds that has
not by some arrangement, secret or open, direct
or indirect, been receiving pay for making de
posits in these banks and swelling them as largely
as possible.
Do gentlemen ask whether any considerable
sums have thus been left with these banks? Let
them turn to page 5 of Executive. Document No.
- 87, the response of the iSecretary of the Treasury
to whieh 1 have referredisuar,they-wilifind=that -
in the First National Bank _of Cincinnati there
was in July, 1866, on deposit of United States
funds the sum of $1,641,925 08; in August, 1866,
$1,582,265 56; in September, $1,078,396 22;
in October, $1,160,369 78, and so on
This example Is taken at eight from the
first page at which I opened the report.
This is doubtless full of instances of this kind,
The average balance, in bonds available for in
vestment, was not less than $1,000,000. That
$1,000,000 could be invested by the bank in six
per cent. gold-bearing bonds with entire safety
to its general business, for if the. Government
should happen to make an unexpected call for
its money, and the deposits of its customers were
not sufficient to meet it, all the bank would have
to do would be to take its gold-bearing bonds and
borrow the amount on call for a short time, until
ordinary depositors should make it up.
But, again, the great evil from which our coun
try is now suffering is a concentration of its
currency in a few hands, or in a small portion of
the country. We have $800,000,000 of banking
currency ; and of that New York and Now
England have fifty-eight and five•tenths per
cent. The Southern States proper have but
two per cent.; the Southwestern States have but
two and nine-tenths per cent.; and the extreme
Western States are nearly as deficient of circula
tion as they.
This sytem of depositing Government funds in
the national banks has aggravated immensely
the evils under which the country is suffering;
which is plethoric congestion at the heart and
inanition and paralysis in the extremities. Bos
ton and New York are gorged with money, and
the public deposits lie there in volume to be specu
lated upon; while the South and Weat are with
out the means of making the commonest ex
changes of commodities save by barter.
There is not currency in the South or West
with which to do marketing and the common re•
tail purchases; and the people are compelled to
use and do use openly, yet not in defiance of law,
or of the. Government, but simply because it is
their only medium of exchasg_e, - counterfeit- re
resentatives, of the currency of the United
states: Whenl nut the question to man after
man in the South who was passing or receiving
counterfeit paper, "Do you believe you are
injuring -the Government or its currency by
this ?" the answer was "Not at all, sir; not at all;
society cannot exist without some medium of
exchange; and we had better be found with five
or ten or twenty or fifty or a hundred dollars of
counterfeit paper when the day of settlement
Comes and we can procure a lawful currency
them go back to'barbarism." But, Mr.iBpeaker, I
must leave this branch of the subject.
Thdar.bill promises a return to the sub-treasury
system, the wisest financial system ever prae-'
ticed by this Government for any period, long or
short. ,It is, true its adoption overthrew the Ad
,ministration that established it; but, at the end of
four years no man dared raise hie voice against
it. ,It proved to be a natural regulator of the
commerce and trade of the country. When
the revenues of the Government wore ex
cessive the currency was abstracted from
circulation, and . business men were
gently admonished` to pause In their
career. And again, when the business of the
country bad ceased yield the Government the
amount required for its current expenses, the
currency again flowed forth in natural channels.
It balanced business and prevented crises; and as
it did when we had a gold currency so will It do
with our present currency, better in many re
spects than that of gold; a currency equally well
secured as to ultimate redemption, and more
easily transmitted from point to point or borne
upob the person than gold.
I welcome, therefore, the promised adoption of
this bill as an assurance to the country that the
Fortieth Congress is about to put its financial
system on a basis as:secure as that on which it
rested before the war; and that, whether it can
point the road to an early resumption of specie
payment er not, it will deprive theofiecretary of
the Treasury through his agents, and pets of the
power to amass fortunes by sporting with the
credit and currency of the country.
EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.
[By Atlantic Cable.]
ENGLANJi.
LONDON, Jan. 29, Evening.—Milner Gibson, a
leading member of Parliament, in a speech at
Ashton, declared that peace 'must be preserved
between England and America. Other Cabinets
would succeed those now in power on
either side of the rAtlantic, and these Cabinets
would not be pledged to the policy or bound by
the words of either Lord Stanley or Secretary
Seward.
Thomas Daley, said to be an American Fenian,
has been arrested on the charge of treason. It
isplleged that he Is concerned in the plot for an
attack on Woolwich Arsenal, which was disco
vered and frustrated by the police.
LONDON, Jan. 29, Midnight.—Particulare of the
assault on the Martello Tower, at Duncannon,
have been received.
After receiving the first fire of the garrison the
attacking party retired, but did not leave the field.
They waited until their numbers were largely in
creased from crowds, who seemed to be near at
hand, and again advanced upon the Tower, be
ginning a general discharge of firearms, by which
one of the garrison was wounded.
When the assailants bad almost reached the
foot of the Tower, the troops again fired, and two
men were seen to fall. The crowd then fell back
and disappeared in the darkness. The two men
who Were shot were carried off by their com
panions, and it Is not known whether they were
wounded or killed. The affair has caused great
excitement in Wexford county. No arrests have
been made, but the Government is using every
means to discover the leaders.
The appeal of counsel for the defence for the
removal of the trials of the Fenlant Burke and
Casey, to London, have been successful, the
Court having decided to grant the motion for re
inoval. •
FRANCE.
PARIS, Jan. 29.r-The bill for the reorganiza
tion of the army having passed the Corps Legis
latif, it came before the Senate this week.
Michel Chevalier in a powerful speech, opposed
the bill, and took strong ground in favor of peace
for France, and on these grounds argued against
the measure. France should maintain close re
lations with neighboring ,European powers, all
of whom should unite to resist the Empire of
Rnssia and the Republic of America—nations
who, in extraordinary growth of their territory,
power and ambition, threatened to overshadow
the world.
Marshal Nei'supported the bill, and replied to
the arguments adduced by Chevalier, declaring
that the grounds [ on which they rested were un
tenable. Fears in regard to Russia were absurd.
Such views were refuted by every event in the
history Of Europe, since the war in the Crimea.
The debate ended yesterday, when the bill was
passed.
PARIS, Jan. 29, Evening.—The debate on the
new law proposed by the Governmen'. t or the
regulation of the press, commencedia i Corps
Legislatif this afternoon.
ITALY.
LONDON, Jan. 29.—The internal condition of
Italy is becoming critical. Fears are entertained
that a coup d'etat is anticipated at Florence. It
is believed in Paris that the relations between the
French and Italian governments are not so cor
dial as they have been.
FLORENCE, Jan. 29,_ Evening.—The intrigues
of the Bourbonites in Naples are causing much
disquietude.
PRUSSIA:,
BERLDI, Jan. 29, Evening.—Carl Schurz, who
is on a special mission from the United States,
has arrived at this city, and was this afternoon
received by Count Von Bismarck.
Prussia and the Pepe.
LormoN, Jan. 29.—The policy recently adopted
by Prussia on the Roman question has caused
surprise, but an explanation of the course is
found in the fact that in sustaining the tempora
power of the Pope the Prussian Government
finds a powerful means of conciliating its Catho
lic subjects and of strengthening its influence
over the Catholic States of South Germany.
The General Council.
PARIS, Jan. 29.—1 t is now considered certain
that the General Council of the Roman Catholic
Church will assemble at Rome in November
next.
The 11. S. mission to Rome.
FLORENCE, January 29.—The Unita Catolica
says the special agent of the President of the
United States has arrived at Rome, on a secret
mission to the Pope, and that he will be sup
ported by Admiral Farragut, whose fleet is hourly
expected at Naples, and whose arrival in Rome
is looked for at an early day. The journal gives
no information as to the character of the mis
sion upon which the American Jagent has been
sent. • - •

THE PALESTINE EXPLORATIONS.
Further Interesting Researches—Who
Latest Discoveries—The tinelent City
Insost Revealed to View.
To the Editor of the London Times—bin :
my last communication (in the nines of Decem
ber 21), I have received two reports from Lieu
tenant Warren, R. E., dated at Jerusalem, the
12th and 21st of December. He is proceeding
vigorously with his researches. • They divide
themselves under three main heads :
1. The ancient double passage or tunnel run
ning from the so-called "Iluidah-gate," in the
south wall of the Haram, below the mosque of
the Aksa, up to the platform itself of the Hamm.
It has always been an object of anxiety to know
whether this was a mere tunnel, or whether it
had subsidiary passages branching from it either
west or east. Mr. Warren seems to have shown
that none such exist. At the northern end of the
tunnel he has discovered on the east a vaulted
chamber, 17 feet square, and on the west some
unimportant waterdnets, file feet below the pre
sent surface, and probably connected wtth a tank
beneath. These ducts ho believes to be older
than the Aska mosque. The square chamber, 1
understand him to say, is later than the mosque.
The sides of the tunnel at its lower end are
about 16 feet of solid masonry, very rough on its
outer face.
2. In the Tyropieon Valley, west of the south
west corner of the Haram. Here, galleries are
being driven to discover the depth and position
of the native rock of the ravine immediately be
low the wall, and the position of the pier which
supported the western side of "Robinson's arch,"
_The pier seems to havelieen-reaehedrtwacourses
of stone in situ, and I hope shortly to receive de
tails of its construction, and of the rock of the
gulley betwedn it and the wall. Mr. Warren
seesgrotind for believing that this eulley will be
found to sweep round eastward and descend to
the "Virgin's fount," and thus divide Moriah
from Gphel—a fact never before suspected. .
3. Thvater supply of the ancient City— In
this an advance has been made. Researches at
great depth in the upper part of the Tyropteon
seem to point to the actual existence of the brook
which in the days of the monarchy "overflowed
through the midst of the laud," and which Heze
kiah stopped er concealed when the city was be-
Algid by Betvackezlb (2 Chronisies sxxii, 4).
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.--PHILADELPHIA:, THURSDAY, JANUARY 80, 1868.
Thinstream would appear to be -still foicin4 its
ancient way along its old-channel, at the prodi
gious-depth-of more than, slaty-feet beneath the
present surface. A mile west of the city, be
tween it and the ancient , village of Nephtoah, Mr.
Warren has eaplored, at some personal risk,
a • remarkable cleft •which descends into
thgearth to a depth of -more than one hundred
andlifty.feet, and which may not improbably be
one of the sources of the water supply of,Jerusa
lem.• .On the other band, in the valley of the Ke
dron, a mile and a half south-of the city and 600
yards below the "Well of Joab," a well has been
excavated, apparently for the .flret time, which
proves to contain passages, staircases and other
contrivances, which it can hardly be too much to
assume will be found to be connected with the
waters of the city itself. Fragmentary as are all
these discoveries, they indicate an amount of an
cient remains below, the surface ;which cannot
but excite the hopes and stimulate the curiosity
of all concerned, and incite us to strain every
nerve to lay bare such interesting relics.
As I read Mt. Warren's accounts I seem to feel
the ancient city within my grasp—to know for a
certainty that Its very houses and streets and
water-courses, all the ancient life of its structures,
its hills audits ravines,aro lying buried like souse
enchanted person beneath that singular and
Solemn tomb. The cliff .(as the Dean of West
minster said in his sermon the other day) which
Joab climbed, the streets which David trod, and
along which Athaliah was hurried, the catacomb
of the Kings of Judah, the very Via Dolorose
itself, of which not even the shadow of a
likeness can be found in the upper air of the
modern city—all these .are doubtless there.
Wherever Mr. Warren probes, let him but go
deep enough and he comes on some solid sub
stance of curious and ancient kind. They start
into view in a truly magical manner, more like
the "Arabian Nights" than anything else. A
"stone suddenly rolls away" and reveals
staircates, passages, subterranean halls in
the heart of the rock, leading to who
knows what repositories of treasure.
An almost invisible crevice in the hill turns out
to be an enchanted cave one hundred and
fifty feet deep, concealing the "skeleton of
an infant ;" and containing, perhaps, the hid
den fountain of the water-supply of Jerusa
lem. The work has been lairly and well began.
An explorer mere daring and disinterested, more
indefatigable and intelligent than Mr. Warren
seems impossible. Let us back him to the utmost.
lam happy to say that the undertaking is re
lieved from present pecuniary anxieties. But that
is no reason for stopping our contributions to a
work the extent and importance of which are
daily becoming more obvious. The explorations
at Jerusalem may be—will be when the line
weather returns—pushed on simultaneously in
more places at once, and a larger force of
laborers employed. Mr. Warren seems to
have gained the confidence a every one,
high and low, Jew and Gentile, and to obtain
what laborers he likes. and what permissions
he desires. And outside of Jerusalem I hope the
public will not forget how much there is to do.
There is the natural history of the country to
perfect, and geology to examine—the ethnology
to discover. The explorers are waiting for the
signal to be off. Without diverting a sovereign
from those urgent calls nearer home which this
inclement season brings so closely before us—
without diverting a sovereign from these, there is
ample money to 'be obtained for the grand and
interesting object for which I plead.
I am, sir, your obedient "rvant.

Military 17Iovenients in Russin....Criti.
cal Relations with Austria.
[Berlin (Jan. 8) Correspondence of the London Timer.]
The troops sent to the western provinces of
the Russian Empire within the last twelve
months are set down here as above 225,000.
Vast as this number is, their being dispersed
over an enormous tract of country diminishes
the military and political importance which
would otherwise attach to the movement.
The echelon begins at Wilna, extending as
far south as Volhynia and the Ukraine,
The various corps employed on this service
are provided with cast-steel guns on the Prus
sian pattern, 700 of which (450 four-pound
ers and 251) nine-pounders) have been manu
factured at Exupp's for the Russian govern
ment since November, 1866. The conscrip
tion in course of progress will add 240,000
men more to the Imparial forces, without a
corresponding dismissal of veterans having as
yet been ordered—a circumstance calculated
to confirm the belief that the extraordinary
measures resorted to are intended
to support the Eastern politics of
Prince Gortschakoff, and give the idea
of his being in earnest. No doubt some pres
sure is exercised upon Austria, the most vul
nerable of Russia's adversaries, by this mili
tary display, and the language of the St.
Petersburg and Moscow press is certainly not
of a kind to allay any misgivings roused at
Irierula. The Vienna papers retorting in the
same strain, the people of either country are
not a little excited against each other, though
in Austria, it is true, hatred against Russia is
confined to non-Selavonians only. The latest
charge mutually preferred relates to the dis
semination of seditious manifestoes in each
other's territory. A fortnight ago flying
sheets were found in the streets of the Rus
sian capital, summoning the people to assem
ble in front of the winter palace and ask the
Czar for sundry concessions of a democratic
nature. Instantly the rumor arose that Aus
tria was at the bottom of the intrigue. On
the other hand, the Austrian diplomatists
openly complain that pamphlets bidding the
Russian peasantry rise against their Polish
masters are being smuggled over the Galician
frontier from thehingdom 'of Poland.

ton.
Queen Victoria's new book contains the
following remarks by her Majesty on the re
ceipt of the news of the death of the Duke of
Wellington which reached her in Scotland:
ALT-NA.-GurrnAsAon, Thursday, Sept. 16,
1852.—We were startled this morning, at
seven o'clock, by a letter from Colonel
Phipps, inclosing a telegraphic despatch with
the report from the sixth edition Of the Sun
of the Duke of Wellington's 'death the day
before yesterday, which report, however,
we did not at all believe. Would to God that
we had been right, and that this day had not
been cruelly saddened in the afternoon.
We breakfasted with Miss Seymour; and,
after writing and reading, we started at a
quarter lo eleven with her and our Highland
party. * * We got off our ponies, and I
had just sat down to sketch when Mackenzie
returned, saying my watch was safe at home,
and bringing letters. Among them there
was one from Lord Derby, which I tore
open; and alas ! it contained the confirmation
of the fatal news, that England's, or rather
Britain's , pride, her glory, her hero, the
greatest man she ever had produced, was no
more ! Sad day ! Great and irreparable na.
tional loss!
Lord Derby inclosed a few lines from Lord
Charles Wellesley saying that his dear great
father had died on Tuesday at three o'clock,
after a few hours illness and no suffering.
God's will be done! The day must have
come. The Duke was eighty-three. It is
well for him that he has been taken when
still in the possession of his great mind and
without a long illness—but what a loss! One
cannot think of this country, without "the
Duke,” - our immortal hero ! IA him centred
Omost every earthly honor a stiblece could
possess. His position was the highest a sub
ject ever had, above party, looke'd up to by
all, revered by the whole nation, the friend
of the sovereign, and how simply he
carried these honors ! ' With what
singleness of purpose, what straightfor-
Wardness, what courage; -were all the mo
tives of his actions guided 1 The crown,
never possessed—and .1 fear never wilt--
so devoted, loyal and faithful a subject, so
staunch a supporter. To . us (who, alas!
have lost now so many of our valued and 'ex
perienced friends) his loss is irreparable, for
his readiness to aid and advise, if it could be
of nee to us, and to overcome any and every
difficulty, was unequalled. To Albert he
showed the greatest kindness and the utmost
confidence.: His experience ands his know
ledge of the - past were tip groat too ; be was 14`
link which connected US with by gone time s,- .
with the lad century, , Not an i eye will be
dry in the whole country.
We hastened down on foot to the head of
Loch Muich and then rode home, in a heavy
shower, to Alt-na-Guithasach. Our whole
enjoyment was spoiled, a gloom overhanging
all of us. We wrote to Lord Derby and Lord
Charles Wellesley.
Mho Progrsso oftW3rman
The Provincial Correspondence of Ber
lin publishes the subjoined reflections on the
occasion of the opening of the new year :
"The year 1867 has realized beyond all ex
pectation, and especially for North Germany,
union and national strength. But much
more important objects have 'been attained
in that memorable year. The barrier which at
the close of 1866 appeared to exist between
North and South Germany is already cast
down, both in fact and in the minds of , the
German people. Who kes not remember
the bitter complaints tlWv were made re.
specting the line of the Main e
_ i which seemed
necessarily to separate the North from the
South ? Who, at that period, would have
dared to hope that in the following year we
should be rejoicing in the full and entire cer
tainty of being firmly united to South Ger
many with respect to national defence and
economic development—that we should
find ourselves in an association with
her which embraces the hightst inter
ests of the common country, and those
that most directly promote the, public pros
perity ? As early as the spring of 1867 the
publication of the offensive and defensive
treaties concluded with the states of Southern
Germany imparted to our patriots the confi
dence that, for the defence of the national ter
ritory and the independence of the country,
all Germany was united under the direction
of Prussia by a stronger and more efficacious
bond than she had ever known under the for
mer Confederation. The whole German
population feel and know now that they are
a united and powerful people, and such as
they had not been previously; and in this
conviction it is that they will enthusiastically
labor to complete their internal union and
their national greatness. As 1867 has brought
to maturity the fruits of those seeds sown in
blood in 1866, so, with the aid of Divine
Providence, the year we now enter upon will
be one of safety, the year of the regeneration
of the prosperity of the nations and of general
and peaceful progress."
Tnz Suzz CANAL.-It was calculated by the en
gineers of the Isthmus of Suez Canal Company
that at the clime of November, 1867, 32,562,631
cubic metres'of earth, &c., had been raised, out
of a total of 74,112,130 cubic metres to be ex
tracted, leaving 41,549,499 cubic metres still to be
dealt With. The number of workmen employed
nt the end of November was 8,340, of whom
5,980 were engaged in the Suez division, which

General Howard, Conirdissioner of the Freedmen's
' ilareau; bas received a report from Brevet Major
' General W. I% Carlin, Assistant Commissioner for
the State of Tennessee; announcing that he had made,
a tour Of inspection to Memphle and ChattaniMga,
and foundoomplaints of hard times among all claims
and oomplexiorui.
In the cotton-growing districts the colored people
will suffer to setae extent, but General Carlin says it
will prove ansefal lesson, as nothing but actual suf
fering will appeal so forcibly to their reason, and to
linryste on their minds, the necessity of economy and
prudent living. He will nottake steps tp provide for
thewants of these people until it becomes absolutely
rieceMary, except 'at Memphis, where many sick and
deatituto arrive ftom all quarters. He thinks there is
more `sound than substance in the clamor about desti
tution in the South, There is lawlessness, lazinefis,
and dishonesty in' abundance r and ho hopes the gei
erne:alit will disregard all attempts to induce it to lend
money to planters, taking,itens p ,dte.
General Carlin says a great national work could be
undertaken by the government to the immediatead
vanfige of the Southern peege, white and black, sad
the advaittagilof the whole country, by reboilding and
repairing the levees along the Mississippi; and all the
Idle Men in the South who are willing to , work could
find prnfitabie employment, and "the most fertile por
tion of the Caton and sugar land could be reserved to
cnitleation.
Reports have been received by General Howard from
Major-General Scott, Assistant Commissioner for
Ziforth Carolina, submitting a brief account of affairs
in that State during "December. He reports that in
the Charleston 'District much complaint 'has been
made against the negligence of the freed people as la
borers. The complaints are renewed of these people
leaving their work to attend political and other meet
ings, thus losing themselves and causing the planters
to lose also. In the Darlington District many planters
commenced with nothing, and their credit has been
pushed to the utmost. The labor was terribly nnre
llable;-ment who were capable of picking one hundred
pounds, of cotton between sunrise awl noon, would
come from the field at night with from thirty to sixty
pound') as the result of the day's labor. Here by freed
men leaving their work at intervals the planteri meet,
much inconvenience and loss besides lessening the
chances of the laborers themseivett for a respectable
crop.
Not five freedmen in a hundred have made more
than their provisions for this year; many are much in
debt to the planters, and therefore will be nimble to
suppOrt themselves. General , Scott says the blacks
are improvident, and will flood a planter with applica
tions for orders on stores, never stopping to consider
how deeply they are running in debt, and
not until the hour of settlement do they
desire to to know how much they owe. People seem
to be apprehensive of bread riots, or of trouble be
ween the two races; and the Assistant Commissioner
thinks the fears are not groundless. In the Sumter
District seven-eighths of the freed people are in debt
to their employers for the necessary advances while
making the crop. A class of white men go about the
country for the purpose of robbing the people. They
get corh and cotton from the freed people, giving in
exchange whisky and other unnecessary articles. It
Ss earnestly recommended that some steps be taken
to prevent this illicit traffic.
TILE TRIDASIMY DETARTMENT.
The Secretary of the Treasury has replied to a
resolution of the House, showing that, according to
the report of the Comptroller of the Currency, .from
the list day of June, 1866, to January 23 instant*
$1,073,000 in live•twenty els per cent. bonds, held as
security for the circulation of national banks, at the
rate of ninety cents on the dollar, have been surren
dered, and $1,665,000 in ten-forty five per cent bonds
have been deposited with the Treasurer as such se
curity, at the rate of eighty-live cents on the dollar,
in lien of the five-twenty bonds surrendered.
During the same period $3,60,500 in 10-40 five per
cent. bonds, held as security for circulation of na
tional banks, at the rate of 85 cents on the dollar, have
been surrendered, and in lieu thereof $3,405,200 in 5-20
six per cent. bonds, of 1881, have been deposited with
the Treasurer as such security, at the rate of 90,cents
on the dollar.
The Sale of ten-forty bonds, under the act of 1861,
was $8,111,600, at a premium of $106,218, making a
total of $8,240,818. There was paid as premium to
the First National Bank of Washington a commis
sion of one-eighth of one per cent., amounting to
$10.177.
The Secretary of the Treasurer says the sale of these
bonds has not tended to withdraw currency from the
business of the country, or that the operations of the
Treasury Department for some months past have been
such as to diminish rather than to increase the cur
rency balance in the Treasury.
OUR RUSSIAN POSSESSIONS
The President has sent a message to Congress, ac
companted by air the correspondence and other docu
Inenta, relative to the formal transfer of the RW381811,-
American possessions to the United States. Secretary
Seward says, in his letter of instructions to General
Rousseau, "it is expected that in the transaction of
the important business hereby entrusted to you, it
will be borne in mind that 1n ceding the territory the
Emperor of all the Rusaias has been actuated by a de
bire of giving a signal proof of that friendship for the
United States which has characterized his own reign
and that of his illustrious predecessor."
On the fifth of December General Rousseau made a
circumstantial, report of the proceedings attending the
transfer, and transmitted to the State Department a
copy of the agreement, signed by himself and by the
Russian Governbr and Commissioner. General Rona
scan says his baterconnse with them, personal and of
ficial,, was of the most friendly character, and exactly
inch ache was slue the Secretary desired, and that the
_lnhabitantar generalltirepl easiatyrith . etision _of

BONDED wanallonsa REGULATIONS.
The new bonded warehouse regulations issued last
October, made it necessary to appoint a large number
'of revenue inspectors to superintend the removal of
spirits in bond to and from bonded warehouses. The
act of January prohibiting the removal of spirits in
bond renders the employment of these inspectors un
neocessarY, except in certain cases, and the internal
revenue office is now accordingly engaged in dis
charging the inspectors. The entire number is seven
ty-five, of whom a large proportion will be removed
during the present week. ' -
PUBLIC L
The House Committee on Public Lands is preparing
a bill, providing that in future grants of land to States
or corporations for railroad purposes, the even alter
nate sections on the line of the roads, instead, as at
present, being reserved by the government to be sold
at WO per acre, shall be subject to the homestead
system, and in order to guard against the exorbitant
prices for the odd sections, the bill will contain a
stipulation to such grants that the land shall not be
sold beyond a stipulated price.
XLth GONG
ESS.-SECOND SESSION.
[CONCLUSION OF YESTERDAY 'S PROCEEDINGS.]
Senate.
SUPPLEMENTARY RECONSTRUCTION BILL
At the expiration of the morning hour the Senate
took up the special order, the supplementary ream
etz uction bill.
Mr. PONEROT took the floor and discussed at
length the Senator from Wisconsin (Mr. Doolittle's)
claim that there is a new rebellion. He said the only
new rebellion was that against the reorganization and
restoration of the States lately in rebellion.
Mr. Pomeroy then tiefended at length the constitu
tional amendments, denying that any possibility ex
isted of a war of races, since no motive existed, the
negro having civil rights already accorded hint. Ile
Ihen, atter claiming that the majesty of law shonld
have been vindicated by the executionet et_least:_tfte
- _ - _eader- of - the - rebellion, riew traveling for his health;
closed with a hopeful resume of the connition of the
South.
Mr. Bucxximw, of 'Pennsylvania, next• addressed
the Senate. Ile commenced by describing the exist
ing organization of the govetnlng power of the United
States in the legislative departments,quoting statistics
of elections in past years, from the averhge of which
he deducted the. fact that. In order properly to repre
sent the actual power. , both -px:/ties,. the 'majority
should have twenty-eight &makes. , the Minority
twenty-six—instead of the former having, as it has at
present, forty-Three, to ten in the minority. It was
to be expected, in such majorities, that the result
vionld be what it is—that extreme and violent men
Mon d rule in their councils.
This great evil :could not long cxiet without some
crisis, such as a dlctatership 'or anarchy. With .a
fair rePreaentatien:ll, would lupe , been Oudot
tsar_sad 'sled, elk ;condition of things. The
debt would riot be 'the present amount, and the
) country would not he disunited. The six States east
of the Hodson, with an aggregate of 0,135,283, hid
theme Senator:e t and six mote than they were entitled
to with a proper distribution.
In 1864 the new Western States were attempted to
be introduced, in the case of two successfully, and
now representatives from Colortuth were about the
lobby urging admission. Had there been anything
like a balance of power such an Idea wend have been
hooted. In neither of the Territories admitted by
political pressure were there more than ten thipwand
: electors. while other Territories in the Union, Utah
and New Mexico, had double the population.
Mr. STEWART, of Nevada, said Nevada had a vote
of 17,600.
Mr. BenicaLnir s After slhidinq to thq delusion of a
Senator-elect freer Newokesey by a political vote,
thus swelling the majority, said it was now proposed
to organize State governments in the South by a party
holding four times the political power it was entitled
to. It was an endeavor to obtain the supremacy in
the government of the United States, which it had
held since 1860. He had once supposed this was a
government of the people, but now it was proposed
to make reconstruction unchangeable, though it had
never been submitted to a vote of the people North
or South. No rule was better established than that a
constitution was changeable only by the authority
that formed it.
Ile quoted from Mr. Morton's speech, and-that of
Mr. Trumbull, the assertion that in every State in the
South but two, the number of white:voters exceeded
the number of colored voters, and then referred to the
7'r Mune and Worldtarnanacs and other authorities to,
show that 1n Mississippi,,' and ,Loufslaha,
Alabsitaiind Smith Carolina, the black *to exceeded'
the white, while in Georgia it was about eetud.
Mr. SHERMAN. of Ohio, asked whether that was
not caused by the fact that the white citizens refused
to register.
Mr. BHCKALEW said that was not the point he was
arguing, and went on to say that only in Arkansas was
there such a preponderance of white registration that
an election would certainly be determined by the
white race. Ile therefore held that between the full
registration of the black vote and the partial nisfran-,
chisement of the whites, negro supremacy was the
inevitable taunt
Mr. Spnianais said the first reconstruction act sup
ported by him disfranchised no whites, and he had
always regretted that any man was prevented from
voting, being convinced that when the suffrage was
extended to all the negroes it should have been ex
tended to all the whites. Every Republican in the
Senate voted for a proposition to enfranchise every
male citizen in the South, but the Democratic mem
bers of the House of Representatives united with a
majority of the Reymblican members in voting down
that liberal proposition,or resortipg to political tactics
to prevent a vote, thus forcing Congress to the adop
tion of the act as it was passed.
Mr. BUOKALBW said the point he made could not
be covered up by words. The question of responei.
forlhe acts of the-period referred to by the Sen
ator was discussed fully at the time. Whatever dif
ferences there were in the ranks of the majority, the
Democratic members had opposed all their proposi
tions. Re had told them then all they had to do was
to join the Democratic party in rejecting the amend
ment.
But the idea was to pass theMonse bill and hold the
minority responsible in the sante way. True, the Sen.
ater bad then opposed disfranchisement, but after
wards yielded to the dictation of the master of the
House-, as others had done before, and since disfran
chisement bad been 'created by the political majority.
They bad been told that Mr. Stevens disfranchisement
bill would only disfranchise sixteen thousand. The
Senator from Indiana pow called it fifty thousand.
Be (Mr. Buckalew) had been laughed at for estimating
it at sixty thousand at firm., but it was at least three
hundred thousand, as could be seen from the census
and other returns. That was the number that did not
appear at the registration.
Mr. BENIMICKS asserted that all civil officers were
excluded, whether they had taken the oath or not.
Mr. Cosa:mic e of New York, said it had been found
that in Virginia and eltewhere office-holders had dis
pensed with taking any oath, for the purpose of hav
ing immunity in that respect; and the law having been
evaded In that way, Congress had changed the law to
meet the alike.
Mr. Ilmuniticws said at all events it was made finally
to apply to the exclusion of persona who had tiot
!taken an oath.
Mr. Brc-watsw read from the Constitution of 1789,
the requirement of an oath to be taken by the Execu
tive and Judiciary and State ofllcers.
Mr. Epatisms referred to the opinion of the Attor
ney-General. specifying the classes excluded, and
said that to be a State officer, a man must have been
appointed by a State not by a township.
Mr. Ilveasixer reiterated , that each classes were
diefmnchLsed. He then went on to combat the por
tion of the argument of Mr. Morton not answered by
Mr. Johnson. 'He understood the guarantee by the
Constitution of republican forms of government to
States to be a guarantee in their favor, not against
them, and be argued that it was for thepurposes
of protection from invasion or insurrection, and
security of a republican form of government,
either that originally established, whether amended
or not, or one established by the people of the State.
-This power was not to create or establish, but simply
to preserve. it did not justify reconstruction on the
present plan or as a substitute for the war power, as
had been claimed, but did impose upon Congress the
clear duty of recognizing the governments 'there that
are republican in form.
It did not authorize the dictation of proviaions of
fundamental laws or constitutions, which was at
tempted by this legislation. Instead of guarantee
ing republican forms of government, the reconstruc
tion laws subverted it and invaded that principle, and
sought to overthrow them. It was an insult to com
mon sense to call them republican forms of govern
ment. They were really military dictatorshijoe, bring
ing them down to the level of republics that had long
ago fallen. Could republican forms of government be
maintained by the rule of the bayonet over all the
rights of persons and property, crushing out the dear
est rights guaranteed by their fathers?
Suppose a war of races should arise. They must
vote men and money to meet that state of things
until even a more despotic system was established.
lie appealed to them to pause in 'their coarse. If
they did not, no one could doubt that their muttves
were to retain their present unjust share of power In
the nation. This legislation was intended as .a guar
antee to themselves and against the people, so that
they could hold it despite the Constitution they
trampled under foot, in the face of all history which
condemned their coarse. lie denied that the Presi
dent had any more right, or under ordinary circam-
stances any more business, than Congress to set up a
State government at the close of the war. He had
certain power in establishing provisionalgovernments,
hut could not interfere further with their govern
ments without submitting the questions to the vote
of the people.
The President, in his policy of reconstruction, did
not impose any, terms. The Secretary of State merely
wrote an advisory letter to those engaged in recon
struction, setting forth what would be agreeable to the
other States. 'The Presieent left it to the people them
selves, which, he argued, was the only constitutional
way of forming constitutions.
Lie said that conventions of delegates elected by the
people could form valid constitutions without submis
sion to the people, citing the present Constitution of
Pennsylvania and the Federal Constitution of 1787 as
lnetances3apoint.__-The SenatorfroutiMaseachusetts
(Mr. Wilson) had Bald the powers of, hell could not
prevail against the reconstruction measures. If the
Infernal powers took any interest at all in this gov
ernment. doubtless they would not try to prevail
against them, but if they had sympathies at all, would
sympathize with the authors of those measures.
[Laughter.]
At the conclusion of Mr. Buckalew's remarks. Mr.
CRAGIN, of New Hampshire, obtained the floor, and,
at 4:40, the Senate adjourned- •
House of itepresntatives.
Mr. Bs rota proceeded to explain the bill. It re
ferred, he said, to the general question, not to any
special case occurring in Great Britain.
The Committee on Foreign Affairs did not see an
immediate and _perfect solution of .the dimealty,_ hat
presented this bill as the nearest approach to it. What
class otpersona should the government of the Unitel
States undertake to protect in foreign countries,?
It must be admitted that a man who committea a
crime within a foreign State, subjects himself to the
jurisdiction of that State. So a man who had actually
deserted from the army or navy of a foreign power,
would probably be held by that country, precisely as,
under the circumstance, ho would be held by
the American government. But that did not
affect prospective military obligations. There
was another class of cities to which the pro
tection of the American government should not be
extended, and that was the class of fraudulent natu
ralization practiced 'pretty largely by persons from
South America and Central America, who came to the
United States and procured naturalization for the pur
pose of returning to their own countries, and there
exempting themselves from military and other obli
gations, Still another class of persona to whom this
protection should not be extended, consisted of those,
either native bornor naturalized, who went to reside
in foreign countries on account of the cheapness of
living there, while they were drawing ten, twelve or
fifteen per cent. income on their property in the
United States.
The question asks constantly asked, what wore the
rights of naturalized citizens abroad—the rights of
men who bad become naturalized in good faith, and
who were acting in good faith ? The answer was, that
a naturalized citizen has exactly the same rights in
foreign countrieslas a natural born citizen. The one
had no right or privilege which the other could not
claim. and it was the drat and highest duty of the
government to accord its protection to the naturalized
PrecleVlY_ OS le Abe, tacturfil Atom - citizen._ _
'The gentleman from lowa (Mr. Wilson) had inti•
mated that the United States government had never
recognized the right of expatriation. The judgment
of the.committee was exactly the reverse of that. in
the very nature of the government, the right of emi
gration and of naturalization, which together consti
tuted the act of expatriation, was admitted, and had
been, exercised since the foundation of the govern
ment.. , Ife might be asked why.the bill did not declare
the right of expatriation as a right of American
citizens. The answer-was perfectly clear.. A legisla
tive act at this day by the Congress of the United
States recognizi , g the right of expatriation, would'
be interpreted by European governments as a declara
tion dating front this, flute, and would effectually cut
cif all privileges and clatms,of naturalized citizens in,
foreign States tip to this time., '
'THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIII.--ktIL
Mr. MAYNARD, of TCW:10880C, referring to the
Koszta 'CAW, asked Mr. tiatika whether the bill 'ap
plied to men who had simply declared their intention
to become citizens.,
11r Bangs said the bill did not pmpose to define
what constitutes naturalization t simply applied to
the right* of naturalized citizens inforeAto countries.
Of the :36,000,000 of In haoltaut hi the United States,
three•llfths were interested one way or other in tor
clgn countries. They had the right to travel:. They
greatest pnnishment .which could bo inflicted ort any
man or nation was the denial Or the right of looomo
ition.
The mooning hour having endred the Mil went, over
until to-morrow.
WASUBUANE, of Illinois, ifrom the committee
on the deficiency reported then the committee had
agreed to recommend that in regard to the allowance
for stationery, limiting the amount for Senators and
members to 8125; the limitation shall take effect from
March 8, 18&i, and that theilotfe•wred to the Senate
amendment prohibiting transfers of appropriation
from one branch of a department to another.
Atter remarks by hleffers. Washburno and Phelps,
two of the conferees, the report was agreed to.
Mr. JIIDD, of Illinois, intredneed a bill to regulate
the appointment and inspection of Imports. Referred
to the Cmramittee on Commerce.
The House then.proceeded to the consideration of
the bill which was by yesterday, to declare forfeited
to the United States certain lands granted to aid in
the construction of railroads in the States of Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Viorida.
The bill was discussed for and against by Messrs.
Pile, Tabor, Prayn, /atell, Cary, Donnelly,'Wash
borne of Illinois, Mullins, Blair, and Coburn.
Mr. BLAIR, of Michigan, fought strenuously against
the bill, contending that _the land .g,rante.proposed to
be forfeited worts - not fat the benefit of rebels, but for
the benefit of the States at large; that the men who
built railroads under land grants did not grow rich,
but poor; that if those lands were to be opened up for
homestead purposes, they would be most likely to fall
into the bands of the very worst rebels of the South,
the poor whites, and that at all events nothing should
be done in the matter till the States concerned were
represented in Congress.
Mr. Autism., of Tennessee, sent to the Clerk's desk
and had read a letter from the Commissioner of the
Land Office, showing that in the five States named in
the bill, there were now over 46,000,000 acres of public
lands open to homestead settlement; 7,000,000 in
Alabama, 4000.000 in Mississippi, 7,000,000 in Lou
isiana, 11,000,000 in Arkansas, and 17,000,000 in
Florida.
Mr. Brant thanked Mr. Arnell for bringing that
statement to the support of his argument that the,
passage of the bill was not required in the interest of
actual settlere, as the lands proposed to be forfeited
did not amount to one-ninth of the public lands now
open to actual setUers.
Mr. &marmots, of Ohio, gave notice of an amend
ment restricting the sale of lands by railroad com
panies to quarter sections for actual settlers alone,
and for not more than one daar and twenty-five
cents per acre.
Mr. C'onumi, of Indiana, argued in favorer the bill,
declaring that ho would rather the lands would inure
to the benefit of rebel soldiers than to the leading
classes of the South.
Mr. DONNELLY, of Minnesota, sustained the bill in
the interest of the landless classes of the South.
Mr, CA BY took a similar view of the question.
Without coming to a vote, the bill went over till to
morrow.
Mr. EAVANAUGLI, of Montana Territory, referring to
the resolution offered by Mr. Clarke, ot. Kansas. last
Monday, as to the denial of suffrage to the colored
people in Montana. said he had this morning received
a telegraphic dispatch from the Governor of that Ter
ritory. stating that Congress had been wrongfully in
formed oh that subject. He would not have been
Porprised if the resolution had been offered by a New
'England member, but he was surprised at its being
offered by the representative of a State which had by
a majority of over pine thousand refused suffrage to
colored people.
Mr. JOH - NEON, of Pennsylvania, asked leave to offer
a resolntion instructing the Judiciary Committee to
inquire whether it Is in the power of Congress to pre
vent the immigration of Chinese and other inferior
races to this country. Also, whether the civil rights
acts and the proposed amendments to the Constitu
tion conferred the rights of citizenship, including the
right of suffrage, on Chinese as well as on all other
ma CS born In the United States over 21 years of aze.
Mr. Pun objected to the offering of the resolution,
es being a burlesque on Common 'settee.
• On motion of Mr. Cnera.zn,the Committee of Coml
Inerce was instructed to inquire into the expediency
of making an appropriation for the purpose of remov
ing the obstructions at Hell Oate,and for the improve;
meat of the eastern harbor of New York.
- -
Mr, JOTINSON, of California, introduced a joint res
lotion dec. lratory of the rights and powers of the
redera .anu State governments,and the rights of citi
zenship. Referred to the Judiciary Committee.
Mr. SAWYER, of Wisconsin, introduced a bill to
amend the act of July 25, 18 1 18, authorizing the con
struction of bridges across the Mississippi,by extend
ing its benefits to the La Crosse and Prescott Rail
road Company. Referred to the Committee on Com
merce.
The SPEAKER presented a communication from the
Secretary of the Trea.sury,with a report of the amount
of United States ten-forty bonds issued or disposed of
by the Treasury Department since the Ist of October,
1537. Referred to the Committee of Ways and Means.
Also, a communication from the Secretary of War,
with a report of the Chief of Engineers relating to
the Survey of Port Clinton, Ohio. Referred to the
Committee on Commerce.
