Honored by the presence of the Vice Pre sident Of the United States, and the Gover nor of Pennsylvania, the meeting of the ‘ National Union Club last night was doubly inspired by the enthusiasm of a great loyal organization and the eloquence of its dis tinguished guests. The Vice President and the Hon. Hexky T. Blow could scarcely have been surprised, and certainly did not re gret, that the meeting should virtually have resolved itself into an earnest welcome of the Governor of the State. Gov. Curtin cannot appear publicly before Pennsylvanians with out such a reception as proveshow thoroughly he is identified with the loyalty and progress of the Commonwealth, and how firmly his remarkable popularity is established upon intelligent appreciation of his national ser vices. It is his habit never to speak with out saying something practical, but in stating that Pennsylvania had done so much that theTe will be no necessity for a draft, he omitted to add that to his energy in en couraging volunteering, and preventing the enlistment, of Pennsylvanians in the regi ments of other Estates, is chiefly due the filling of the quota. New Passenger Railroads. In the House of Bepresentatives, at Har risburg, OH Thursday, Mr. Hopkins intro duced a hill “ incorporating the Seventh and Ninth-streets Railroad.” This is the third project, with the special purpose of occupying these streets, that has been brought into the State Legislature, this ses sion. One of these projects has Mr. Bar oer for its sponsor and champion; we for get who introduced the other. In all, four —if not —Passenger Railroad bills have been introduced, during the session. He who would say that Philadelphia is deficient in accommodations of this nature, or that there is the slightest want of even a single new • line of Tailway in our streets, would be laughed at, as something weaker and worn than a fool. Yet, session after ses sion, such schemes are brought forward in our State Legislature, with the general in tention, it is well understood, of never con structing the proposed line, hut of selling the Act of Legislature, ("if the scheme attain final success,} to one or other of the exist isting Bailway Companies. This trick— Which really is black mail, bn a large scale—ought not receive the slightest aid from the Legislature. The city members, whether in the House or the Senate, who in troduce and support such projects, have not the shadow of an excuse for their conduct. They ought to know, and they do know— none better—that there is not the slightest requirement for another inch of Passenger Railway here. They but waste public time, and render themselves liable to have their motives very suspiciously regarded, in advocating any scheme of this character. If ever they present themselves forre-election, their conduct in this matter will surely be remembered against them. We notice that, in the Senate, yesterday, was introduced a bill to incorporate the Delaware River Rail road Company. Is this a Philadelphia scheme ? -•Punch” on the European Situation, As might be expected, the wits of Punch. are meny ar d satirical upon the war of the Dano-Geiman Duchies. They declare that war was inevitable from the moment Gene ral Wb angel was placed at the head of the Prussian army. Mr. Tbnniel’s last cartoon is entitled “ Nemesis,” and shows Loxns Nai-oleon and Victor Emmanuel looking over the map of Germany. Napo leon holds it down beneath both hands, and Victor Emmanuel “ assists,” ("as the Trench have it ), by looking on, and coquet ting with his extensive moustache. The dialogue, as given by Punch, is as follows: Emperor ot France —“ Hm ! Prussia is ex tending his frontier; why shouldn’t I go to the Rhine The King of Italy adds: “Hah! Austria is doing the same; why shouldn’t I go to Venice ?” It may be added, that most probably the incorporation of Venetia with the Kingdom of Italy, and the resumption of the Rhine as one of the frontiers ol France, may he among the even tualities of the war which Germany has commenced against Denmark. Senator Pomeroy’s proposition, that the military power of the nation should he used “without premature offers of par •don by proclamation of amnesty to trai tors,” is a truism. But it does not follow that the conditional pardon already offered by the President is premature. The threat to punish the guilty is but made more em phatie by the promise to forgive the re pentant. Will the ArchduKe he Emperor? There seems mu to be considerable doubt whether the Archduke Maximilian will ever beEnpeAr of Mexico. He staidi like a doubtful swimmer oa the shore of a stream, as If feaiful of plunging In. His hesitation to accept the Imperial crown has been the theme of numerous articles in the Euro pean journal). The Memorial Diplomatique or Faria, which has been called the Arehduke’e Mjnitmr, at tempts to explain the delay in receiving the Mexican deputation by saying that the Archduke and Arch duchess desire to pay a farewell visit to the Arch duchess’ father, the King of Belgium, and then to go to Paris, in order that his Imperial Highness may have a complete understanding with the Frenoh Emperor be.'rie assuming the sceptre. If nothing should prevent, their Highnesses would then cross over to England, in order ts be present at the bap tism of the infant Duke of Cornwall, whieh was to have taken place on the loth of this month. Daring tbls time, it is said, by way of explanation, that the Mexican deputation is engaged In receiving the votes collected in the principal cities of Mexico. From England their Imperial Highnesses were, according to the programme laid out, to go direct to Vienna, where the official reception of the deputa tion Is to take place, and where Maximilian I- ia to be proelaimtd Emperor in the name of the Mexican people. The imperial family of Austria is then to accompany the nEW-made Emperor and Empress to Trieste, to be present at their embarkation for Mexico. On their way along the Mediterranean -their Majesties are to stop at Civita Veeehia, and visit Borne to ask the benediotion of the Pope. So far ia the Eew Imperial Court calendar aet forth by the Memorial Diplomatique. The financial part of affairs is discussed in the London papers. The Times stated that Sefior Arrangolz had gone to meet the Archduke at Brussels, and accompany him "to Faria, and that the Mexican foreign debt waa to be settled by giving £6O of five per cent, bonds for every -£ioo of the present three per cents., at the same time remarking, however, that all reports upon the subject must be looked upon as hypotheti cal, and received with caution. One of the London papers also said that “the agent of Messrs. Fould Sc Co. had been In communication with Sefior Al monte, who, duly authorized by the Emperor-elect, had granted the concession of the new bank.” Sefior Arrangoiz, however, immediately wrote a letter from Bruisels to the London Daily Newt, as surlng the public that all the above financial state ment! were incorrect, and “that his Imperial Highness the Archduke had not authorized General Almonte either to grant privileges to the above mentioned bank, or to enter into any settlement with the English bondholders, his Imperial Highness not having as yet definitively accepted the throne of ■Mexico.** Thus, every thing is thrown into doubt. The splen did programme of the Imperial progress given by tbe Memoiial Diplomatique, and the financial specula tions of the London press, are counterbalanced by "the direct statement of Sefior Arrangoiz of the non aeceptacce of the Archduke. Many have wondered why Maximilian should, for a moment, desire to accept the risk attending the acceptance of the Imperial crown of a distracted country like Mexico. The Pari, correspondent of the Hew York l ones endeavors to explain it by say ing the Archduke 1. in debt eight million. of frao which he is utterly unable to pay, and which he hopes to be able to collect In Mexico. This per haps, may be a reaons, for there Is no knowing to what extremes a man may run when goaded by ere titers. Whether the present expedient, however, will enable his Imperial Highness to raise the funds and eKtrieale iiimaelf from nia monetary difScultlev, or whether it will not be anew exemplification of the old saying of “out of the frying-pan into the fire,” remains yet to be seen. received from Me**r*.

General* Grant and Mbadb came back from the arm? to-day, and to night or tomorrow Grant will return to Chattanooga, having said ail that he had to say in the fewest word* and shortest time. He will leave important orders. Francis Waldron is the name of the Mary land legislator who wrote the late communication in the Chronicle about the Antietam parley between Lbb and McClellan, and hi* character is well mentioned by a number of our generals. Mr. Wal dron, in hi* letter, gave no hint of the conversation, between the rival commanders during the time he was present at the interview. Mr. Waldron is now held to testify, and a number of witnesses have - been summoned by the Congressional Committed! The worth of the report that Gen. Lxb told Mc- Clellan that his army was crossing the Potomac will coon be ascertained. If the Government was not informed of this interview, its concealment by Gen. McClellan wai criminal, and naturally leads to further suspicion. Otherwise, the oQly point to be investigated is the nature of the inter view. "The whole matter, however, appear* to be a disclosure. Generals Hancock and Sykes are to be called to give answer in relation to the battle of Gettysburg The moat important testimony elicited is that of General Warren, the talented commander of the 2d Corps, and General Meade’s mosttrusted assist ant on that trying occasion. General Doublbday has authorized his friends to say that he did not make any charges against Gen. Meade to the Com mittee on the Conduct of the War 5 that he did not ask the committee to Inquire Into *he conduct orhis superior officer, or request to be called as a witness. Neither does he olaim to have reoeived any order to ietxeat at Gettysburg. Richmond During' the Raid* The fact is ascertained from a number of returned officers, that when Kilpatrick was approaching Richmond the rebel* placed one hundred kegs or powder in the basement of the Libby, to blow up our piisoner* in case of an attempt to rise, and it is not doubted that the rebel President issued the order. The stair* connecting the departments of the officer* and men were out away, and a crowd of sen tinel* posted at every point, under the special order of the hyena Turner. DahlgreN’s servant, who has fled here, gives a more piteous account of the way in which the young hero’s remains were treated. He was shot from ambush, in a cowardly manner, and Ms body, found stripped of every thing, was wrapped up by negroes and buried in a rough box of bsrnwood, but was afterwards dug up for exhibition. Kilpatrick’s men are baing treated with every possible indignity, and are now lying in chains. One of the officers in Libby has been shot at for no offence whatever. The wife of the rebel war Secretary, Seddon, paid a visit to the hospital to rail at some of the wounded who fired her husband’s barn, and a New York captain on Belle Isle has been shot at for no offence whatever. These reports may be in some points exaggerated] but the most part are confirmed by gentlemanly and respectable officers. Our prieoners are in the keep* ing of fiends. The Pay ol* Colored Troops* Under Hie bill which has passed the Senate, colored troops are to be placed on the same basis as white*, after January .1,1864, except as to bounty, which the President shall determine. Golored vo lunteers, when mustered into service, shall receive pay and clothing as other volunteers from date of muster into service, provided it was pledged or pro mised to them by authority of the War Depart ment. The snine premium will be allowed colored recruits as whites, subject to the approval of the Secretary of War. A Charge* A severe charge has been made against Mr. Daniel W. Yobhbes, the chief V&ll*ndighamite in Congress, upon the positive knowledge of the Commercial newspaper of Cincinnati k ,whiah asserts that Mr. Yobhbes, with a deputation of Copper heads from the "West, visited Governor Sethoub “to bring a pressure upon him to take the lead in a Northern insurrection, but was exceedingly dis gusted because he did not find Mr. Seymour ripe for rebellion.” This charge is made boldly, and is worth an answer. Schleswig and Germany* The German minister is about to issue a sort of reply, or counter intelligencer, to Col. Raslopv’s, the Danish minister’s explanation of the Schleswig question, which has had some circulation in Con gress.. Tonnage Dues in Canadian Ports. The Secretary of State has replied to certain in quiries of the Secretary of the Treasury, saying, in substance, that theie is no imperial or provincial enaetment exempting American vessels from ton nage or other duties in the ports of Canada. In some of these ports duties are laid on them under the name of light duties, hospital dues, and tonnage dues for lepair of harbor*, Cco.: hence there exist* no gcod reason to exempt from tonnage duties vessels belonging wholly or in part to subject# of foreign Powers, including those residing in British North American provinces, on entry into our ports on the northern, northwestern, and northeastern frontiers, and from Biitish North American provinces. In view of thcße facts, and in accordance with a recom mendation of the Treasuiy Department, the House tc-d&y passed a bill to repeal the second section of the act to regulate the foreign coasting trsjfe on our frontiers, thus taking from her Majesty’s sutgeots the enjoyment of privileges which were not recipro cated to our own citizens by the Batista Govern ment. Free Delivery of Letters* The attention of the public is invited to the many advantages of the system of free delivery of mail matter by carriers, under the new postal law oi March 3,1863. Letters axe equally as safe in the hands of carriers as if delivered from a post office, and are more cer tain to be handed to the rightful owners, who are thus saved the time and trouble of calling or sending for their correspondence, which is frequently done when there sre no letters for the applicant. Under the old system of delivering letters rrom post offices when called for, much time is necessarily con sumed in arranging letters in boxes for the general delivery, and distributing them in private boxes for those who rent the latter, while in each of these operations it is almost Impossible to avoid mistakes, particularly at the general delivery, where letters are liable to be misplaced in the press of applica tions. From these causes, many letters fail to be delivered In due time, and others are lent to the Dead Letter Office. Whenever it is practicable, letters should be plain ly directed to the residence or plaoe of business of the person addressed, and the street and number designated. This is a matter of the first importance In sending letters to cities or large town.; but "When the persons addressed are non-residents, whose particular locality cannot be given, this fact should be indicated by the word " Transient.” On the other band, every person writing from a city or large town ehould always inscribe at the commence ment of Ms letters the street and number of his residence. This would not only insnre the correct and prompt delivery oi any reply, but also the re storation of the letter in esse it could not be de livered. Another important requisite is that postage stamps should be placed in tbe upper right-hand comer ofletters, so as to leave ample space between the stamps and the addresses, to allow of post marking and cancelling without interference with the writing. The United States Supreme Court. The ease before the Supreme Court to-day is that of Frederick Sohuchabdt et ah, plaintiff, in eiror, vs. Phtlit’ Allbh et al. There were on the docket on the firet Monday in December, about 364 cases, of whioh 169 have been reached. Ae the court will adjourn on the Ist of May, a large number will remain undisposed of at that time. Mall Contract.

Lieutenant General Grant* A committee from Now York, appointed by the executive committee of the Metropolitan Fair, waited upon Lieutenant General Grant to day to secure hi* attendance at the opening of the fair on the 28th Inst. The General has communicated a fa vorable response, through the chairman, Major W, W, INLAND, formerly of bis staff, and maybe ex pected there, unless prevented by very pressing pub lic duties. Return of Kilpatrick’s Cavalry* The cavarry which recently out the communlca tioni and made a dash at Richmond is now arriving by transports at Alexandria, en route to the Army of the Potomac. The Colored-School Fund in Washington* Several year* ago Congress passed an aot appro priating ten per cent, of the municipal tax paid by colored tax-payers for educational purposes. An offiaJal report has been made to the House Of Re presentatives, from which it appear* that during the last two year* this fund amounted to $739 in the cities of Washington and Georgetown. A day school was recently opened with forty pupil*, and increased the first week to on© hundred. Want of room compels refusal to numbers pleading to enter. The extreme eagerness of the children and adults, including ireedmen from abroad, to reoeive instruc tion, induced certain Government employees to vo lunteer their services as teachers of evening sohools, and, ~s* a result, eight evening sohools, filled mostly with adult*, are now crowded with eager learners. The report urges upon Congress the entire inade quacy of the pecuniary means furnished to give effi ciency to colored sohools, and asks for aid which will, by and by, be rendered necessary by the in crease of their taxable bfoperty and consequent school revenue. , The Pacific Railroad* The proceedings of the lowa Legislature were presented to the Senate to-day, praying Oongress to modify the Pacific Railroad aot so far as concerns the location of the Sioux City branch as to allow it to run rrom Sioux City weatwardly to unite with the main trunk by the nearest and most practicable route, instead of running north of the valley of the Platte at right angles with the branches of the Loup Fork and Elk Horn rivers, involving a heavy cost for bridges and construction over a rough and im practicable route, » THE WAR IN THE SOUTHWEST* PARTICULARS OF SHERMAN’S SUCCESS, INTERESTING ACCOUNT FROM MOBILE. The Hebei Cavalry Stirring Near Chattanoog'a. DESERTERS FROM LONGSTREET’S army SHERMAN’S EXPEDITION. Cairo, March 9.—From an officer just from Yicks bnrg, I learn that the previous report that Sher man’s expedition had returned to Vicksburg with out the loss of a man should have been qualified. He had returned to Vicksburg, that is sure, but did lose of a few men killed and wounded, but less than might have been expected,. from so extended a march with so large a force. There was a loss of some twenty wounded in skirmishing among the Ohio troops. Besides an army of negroes, about one hundred rebel prisoners were brought in. The aad Ohio Regiment, Colonel Potts, arrived here this A. M, 600 strong, re-enlisted as veterans, on the steamer Tycoon, on their way home, being the first to get here who participated in Sherman’s expedition. The regiment is in fine condition to come off such a march as they had. But few par ticulars regarding the expedition were learned be yond those already sent. Thera was no regular fight ing after leaving Canton, where they encountered Wirt Adams’ cavalry. There were no commissioned or field officers killed. The reports of Gen. Crocker’s i death need confirmation. I The main body of Sherman’s force never left Me ridian, but the cavalry went out destroying eighty miles of railroad, burning rebel stores, breaking up a number of locomotives, and a large quantity of rolling stock in the vicinity, and bringing in all the negroes who desired to leave. Women and children and disabled colored men were not brought off, so that nearly all taken can be made use of, in one ca pacity or another. REBEL REPORTS. The Mobile Register of the 26th ult. says ! The damage done to the Mobile and Ohio Railroad : extends from Lauderdale to two miles below Quit man, a distance of forty-six miles, ail the bridges and trestle work beirg destroyed, and the traok torfT I up for miles at intervals, as elsewhere stated. : Everything at Lauderdale Springs was .destroyed. ' The Southern road is completely torn up from Jaok- I son to Meridian. Our informant states that the enemy committed few depredations upon private property beyond helping themselves to provisions. At Quitman they took bed clothing, but their ex cuse was that they were misinformed as to the dis tance, and came without blankets, expecting to re turn the same day. They are supposed to have car ried oft about 300 negroes, selecting the likeliest, and in one or two instances driving back some lots that they did not consider eligible. Some pereons about Enterprise took the Yankee oath, and accompanied them on their retreat, but this was entirely voluntary, no attempt teas made to etl force iU The brigade that visited Quitman con versed freely of their plans, and inquired if there was cot an attack going on upon the forts below Mobile. They understood that to be a part of the programme, the object being to divert the Confede rate forces. They said they had no intention of moving against and their excursion to Quitman was only for the purpose of destroying the bridge over the Chickasa* bay > ioprtvtnt troops from coming up the road. Their plan, as gathered from their movements and con versation', and from the statement of prisoners, was, after uniting with Grierson and Logan, to move upon Selma and Montgomery- According to the prisoners their next scheme is to hasten back to Grant, and march upon Columbia, South Sarolina. CHATTANOOGA. Chattanooga, Marsh 9 —The camps were full of provoking rumors to-day. It was reported that a party of rebels made a dash on the railroad, nine miles up the river, attempted to destroy the bridge there and were repulsed by the 4th Michigan Ca valry. The rebels are said to be part of John Mor gan’s forces. The whole story is doubtless a canard. Eagle eyes are watching rebel movements, and no more suoh raids can be made with impunity. Wheeler, Morgan, Roddy, and Patterson, four eminent oavaly leaders of the enemy, are now all in and around Dalton. The probabilities are that John ston’s army will soon be largely increased by acces sions from Mississippi and Alabama. Veterans are returning every day in large num bers. KNOXVILLE. Knoxvixxe, Term., March 8 —All the laborers on the London bridge have been sent below to work on the Dalton Railroad. A British subject, one Thomas Wispham, left here to-day, going North. He ran the blockade into the Confederacy with .£l,OOO to speculate in cotton, was conscripted into the rebel army, passed through several severe battles, aud finally escaped into our lines, a wiser man. Knoxvjx.ee, March 9.—Since the first of February three hundred and thirty-eight non-commissioned officers and privates, and five commissioned officers, have come into our lines here,* as deserters from the rebel army, have taken the oath, and been released- The aggregate during January was six hundred. Two hundred and sevenly-tive prisoners were cap. tured during January and February, of whom eleven have taken the oath. General Schofield and staff left for the ftont this afternoon. Lieutenant Colonel Schofield, of General Schofield’s staff, leaves tomorrow for Kentucky on a tour of inspection. There are no active operations in the {font. THE REBEL FOKGEI. There are now at Dalton and Tunnel Hill six di visions and two old brigades of rebel Infantry—viz; Four brigade!, consisting of Roddy’s, Patterson’s, Hume’s, and Davidson’s cavalry: Hardee’s infantry corps, consisting of Walker’s, Cheatham’s, and Claiborne’s divisions; Hindman’s corps, made ud of Stevenson’s, Stewart’s, and Bates’ commands. Four thousand men is a large estimate for each di vision of infantry, and three thousand for a dlvi r eavairy. This would give a grand total of 29.000 men. There are no apprehensions of a raid on the rail roads; all the lines are betog rebuilt. The road to Ringgold is nearly finished, and will be well guarded. Veterans are coming in at the rate of 2,000 ner day. Many icgimcnts bring bask 300 or W more recruits. Sail Francisco. San Francisco, March 10.— The brig Brewster has arrived from Boatou.

A resolution of Mr. LANB. of Kansas, was agreed to, inquiring into the expediency of providing aid for a branch of the Pacific Railroad from Warrensburg, in Miesonri, to Imporfa* in Kansas. The Prepayment of Interest. The Senate then took up tbe House joint resolution to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to anticipate the payment of the interest os the public debt. fir. BBhDBICKS modified tils amendment of yester day, as follows: “That tbe Secretary is hereby autho rized to dispose of any sold not necessary for the pay ment of the interest on the public debt, for war material and supplies* or for the payment of debts of the United States then due* provided the earns are paid and received at the value of gold in the city of New York in compare son with local-tender notes. ” Mr. HEM>BI< KS said he approved of the purpose of distributing the money in the Treasury amongst the peo ple in a proper and safe mode* so that it might again re turn to tbe channel of eommetce. If bis measure was &<. opted, the money would be paid out, not -in very large sums, but as tbe sustenance of toe credl of the Government might require. If there was a hundred thonssnd dollars to convey to a Government creditor, he would as leave take the gold at Its value as legsl tender notes. The effect of the proposition of the Senator from Ohio would be to throw upon the country from six to twenty millions of dollars in gold. Tbe ultimate effect of this, he thought, would be to depreciate the price of the currency* for as soon as the Government has withdrawn from the market uu goes gold agtin. as speculation then, commences. The proposition ha made was that the Secretary should Issue tbe told iu the ordinary course of business of ths Treasury; then, 11 there was any mint value in the gold on hand the Treasury would reap the advantage. If he would refer to the speech of the Senator from New Hampshire, now absent. he would have no difficulty in proving that the Navy Department had made friends and favo rites rich. He might also refer to thef&et that a banking company had been made rich by its connection with the Treasury Department- the firm of Jay Gooke ft or>.—in Its disposal of the bonds of the Government. These bonds might have been diseased of on as good terms by tbe ordinary machinery of the Department. If the Se cretary was going.to sell this gold.it was btrely possible that some Senator might deßlre to attend the sale* and what would be Ue Burtvrise to see present the member of the banking hone© of Jay Oooke ft Co. * already rich frtm tbe drippings from the Treasury. Mr, StiEBMiN would say but a few words in reply to the Senator from Indiana In bis unjust attack upon the Secretary of the Treasury. The Senator would pay out this gold to tbe contractors, and forget entirely tbe claims of the soldiers. He did sot eee why any class of pt-rsofiß ebouid he selected for the purpose of receiving this gold. Ibe Senator kn;w Well that it was ImpOßiib'.C to set aside this gold In the way he proposed under the rules of the Treasury Department. Mr Sherman de fended the Secretary iu his action in placing the five- , twenty loan In tbe hands of Jay Cooke ft Co. He stated that the Secretary had made tbe arrangement with them after r* pea ted failures to negotiate loans in New York except at ruinous rates. They procured tbe ten million loan on favorable terms, and the Secretary continued their agency in the sale of the five-twenty bonds. They were taktfn by tbe people in all parts of tbe country, and the money came pouring Into the Treasury in streams. The hanks of the country know that Jay Cooke ft Go. were employed to negotiate, and that they received only one eighth of one per cent., while their agents re ceived one-quarter of one per cent, Out of this meagre percentage of the banking company came all the ex penses of advertising* telegraphing, and expressing. No loan had ever been negotiated in. thin or other countries on more favorable terms than the five-twenty loan. The fortunes of these hankers were made before the war commenced, and the Secretary was induced to employ them fortheir skill and sagacity, and the result wa* an admirable success. If Mr. Chase had gone to New York and asked for tbe loan it could not have been taken, as she bad Only one seventh of the money of tbe country. He had an acini ration for Louis Napoleon above some of his conntrymen, and he appealed from the Paris Bourse to the people themselves to sustain the national credit. So with Secretary Chase Instead of going into the market of New York, he gives them only the same ad vantage be gave to all other citizens of the Union. He believed chat three millions of people were Inter ested in the five-twenty loan of every class and interest in the country. Mr. BENDKIGKS denied that his amendment provided for any favored class. He proposed that the Secretary should take tbe gold at its value in New York, and pay it frem tbe Treasury to creditors Would that be fayor ing the contractor ? He would go further tl an the Bena tor from Ohio in paying the soldier the equivalent of thirteen dollars per month in gold- «. Mr. WILSON tald the passage of this bill would have tbe effect to check speculation in gold, and he would vote for it. He believed another and a better wav to check speculations in gold was for Congress to address itself diligently to the perfection of bills increasing the revex ue. Mr. SHEBMAN said Mr. Wilson seemed to forget that aJI revenue buJe must originate in tbe House, Mr. FBbSBNDBN knew that thy House committee were using all their abilities and wisdom iirperfectinz proper revenue measures. • Mr. WILSON had great confidence in the Senate Fi nance Committee, and was glad to hear what he had ju*theard fnm its chairman. It conld not be denied that the advance in gold was owing, in a great mea sure* to the fact of our inability to pay our expenses as we go along. He believed it to qc the duty of Congress, at the earliest practicable moment, to doable the Inter nal revenue of the country. The people were better able to pay an increased revenue now than at a future time. Instead of the trifling tax of sixty cents on whisky, we should have had a tax of one dollar and fifty cents and double the tax on manufactured tobacco and other articles. He said this boldly* though repre senting a State engaged more largely than others in manufacturer. He said the speculative value of void in New j ork city whb three per cent over foreign ex change It was highly important that measures should he adoutedto lecnre a uniform national currency. Mr POWELL deprecated legislation giving officials increased powers, or placing them in the way oftempta tion. He considered it unwise to place in the hands of any man the power to enrich his Mends and favorites out of the Government funds Be'urged that, Instead of throwing the gold into the market, it should constitute a sinking fund for extinguishing the public debt, not to depreciate the price cf gold* bat to prevent the deprecia tion of ©ap#r money. Mr. JOHNSON* while he would not oppose the mea sure proposed by Mr. Sherman, was in favor of in creased taxation, and an economical management of the finances, astro surest meansof relieving tha coun try. He said the ease of Jay Cooke ft Co* was but one oi a thoutand of cases of misunderstanding, where reports wtre noised abroad, which, upon invei tf Ration, proved to he incomct. He had under stood that Jay Cooke & Co. had received one-half of one percent, of which they paid half to the basks a< ting as agents for the Government, paving the expense of ex posing, advertising. Sc-, and Jay Cooke S Go getting or©-fourth of one per cent for nothing. Bat he was glad to find that this report was untrue. The amendment of Mr. Hendricks was rejected SEAB.
