opposed to the House resolution, particu
larly tot to
of its preamble.
-Mr. BRAKE wasithderetood to say the
Secretary of the Treasury did not claim
the powerin decide the question.
Mr. SHERMAN said there were 'oth
er points not covered by this decision
of the. Attorney General. There were
several important claims pending, end
those large sums had been allowed to lie
in the Treasury to await the decision of
those claims. •
' Mr. TRUMBULL said the opinion of
the Attorney General had not been fol
lowed, because here was a resolution to
compel money to be paid in. The entire
proceeds of this cotton were two millions,
and the net proceeds wore the modest
sum of ten millions. The law was plain
enough, but he woulti support theamend
meot offered.
Mr. EDMUNDS construed the law an
did the Senator from Illinois, but the
Secretary •of the Treasury he believed
bad the right to decide first whether the'
I property was captured and abandoned.
It was known that Treasury agents hod':
gathered a large amount of cotton, and
doubtless absorbed a good deal of It.
Many claimants asserted that auch pro
perty was not abondoned, but that they
were driven from their homes by the
rebel.. This much he would say in Joe,
tire to the Secretary of the Treasury.

about one currency for liondhblden and

it would make it possible to adjust I

ROUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The SPEAKER presented a commu
nication from the Secretary of the Inte
rior asking a further appropriation to
supply pension deficiencres for the win
ing year.. Referred to Committee on
Appropriations.
Mr. JULIAN, as a question of privi
lege, had read ten extract from the Wash
ington correspondence of the New York
Tribune, apalysing the vote of. the In
diana delegation on the question of im
peachment, stating they voted almost
solidly for impeachment In Pr es ident
that some future deed o pt the
would justify their course, etc.
The SPEARERruIed it was net aqua
tics, or privilege.
eii Mr. JULIAN obtain6d 'Unanimous
consent to make a personal explanation,
and proceeded to defend the vote of the
Indiana delsgetion, asserting that the
President was a genius of depravity, and
his hoarded malignity could neither be
fathomed nor explained.
Mr. BROMWELL made a personal
explanation, to the effect that he was at
tacked from the West as having dodged
the impeachment question,hiename,with
thou of Messrs . Broomall and Butler,
having been omitted in the yeas as pub
lished. The Chicago Repubieesee charged
him with having dodged. Ile did not
wish to be placed in the category
with men who dodged or voted
on the wrong side. It was true
the Chicago Try:gene, which claimed the
proprietorship of public opinion in Illi
nois, congratulated the country on the
happy event of that vote. lie had the
honor trf stand and vote before Clod and
man, on his oath and on his knowledge
of the law that Andrew Johnson wee
guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors,
and warded him impeached. Therefore,
had he had the drafting of the resolution
of impeachment, lie would have reported
two resolutions, one declaring the turpi
tude of the President and the others:ll,
reeling his impeachment. For the first
resolution ho was well advised there
would have been one hundred votes in
the Home. It had been his object in ip.
prowling the impeachment question
to withhold his judgment and preserve
his mind in such condition that he could
vote understandingly on it. For that
reason be had neltlierjectured nor made
speeches on Impeachment, either before
or since Ma election. He had striven to
avoid on the one hand any partizan,
blind malice, and on- the other the
ahup cunning of law, of which some or
the enthusiastic and expert fointlemen of
the HOLMe were pleased to use, end w h o
were never better pleased than when
they could cut ao sharp sa to pierce the
Constitution between the joints of Its
harness. In his opinion this had been
done.
Mr. MCCLURG, from the Select Com
mittee, reported thatkbey had concluded
t t althig testimony on all the points re

declaring forfeited Vatted States lands
granted In aid of railroads to Florida,
Alabama, Missisippi and. Arkansas, on
which point the testimony was now be,
ing procured through the War DePart
meat wont military commanders. On
the other points the Committee would be
prepared Is, report in a attert time liter
the testimony had been printed. Ho
I now reported the testimony, end asked
that it be printed. It was so ordered.
Mr. DODGE, from the Military Coal
mine., reported-back the bill to amend
the act of April leth, 1800, for establish
ing roles and articles for the govern
ment of the army. ' The bill provides
that commissions by brevet only be con
ferred In time of war and for distin
guished service in presence of the enemy.,
The bill passed.
Mr.•.DODGE also reported back the
Joint resolution directing the Secretary
of War to furnish, on the application of
the Governor of any State, certified
copies of the muster in and muster out
rolls of the volunteer organizations:
Passed.
Mr. HAWKINS, front the same Com

Mr. G•ARFIELD.of the some Commit

been cashiered and dismissed from the
service by sentence of general court
martial formally approved by the pro .r
per reviewing authority, shall ever 4ali
restored to service, except by appoint
ment and confirmed by the Senate.
After considerable discussion by
Messrs. • GARFIELD, DAWF-S, LO

was, on motion of Mr. LOGAN, recom

Affairs.
Mr. BANES Chafrman of the Com

Mr. WASIIBURNE, of Wisconsin,
addressed the Committee nainst the re

tory. He argued that the treaty for the
acquisMon of Walrma,* should never
have been made, and that the House
should net appropriate, mem

It into effect. He hoped that the Snore
buy of State would be - given to under
stand that the representativesof the peo

sanction such a scheme. The Sec
retary might now arrange his position
with Baron Stoeckle and get out of the

The stringency of the money market
has contributed largely to the benefit of
the nuddle classes, and, Indeed, tonearly
every other repratentative portion of the
community. Capitalists, manufacturers
and merchants are thrown ant of the old
channels cif-tnistm-t4, while banks are
forced to close their hitherto Inexhausti
ble cotters rater -than discount what
wav a month ago termed gilt edge
.paper. Enterprising merchants here
have taken advantage of the de-
pression prevailing in the taste
rind have secured for their pa
trons even greater bargains than could
have been offered in the palmy days an
terior to the war. Mr. .1. W. Barker,
the senior partner and purchasing mem
ber of the wholesale and retail dry good.
establishrhent of I. W. Barker it Co.,
.has not been a careless npectater during
the recent financial panic in the markets
of New York. Awaiting the favorable
moment, ho has thrown in a cash capi
tal nud secured even from the staunch
est nod most extensive manufacturing
mtabliehnaents, the choiclof goods at
prices ..which bear, no roper 'pro
portion to the cost o their' pro
duction. =These goods have. been
duly refs - dyed at the Pittsburgh.honse,
and from cellar to. garret the com
ntoilloter lestablishment contains theta.
While it wee a master-piece of business
tart and shrewd nese to •btala the geode
at such marvellous)}( low figures, the
firm resolved that their patrons, and the'
i.ublic generally, should sham in their
advantages, and with this view, will be
inahmirated to-day, one of the most at
tractive special elites' ever made iu this'
city. The entire stoe.k, and it is very
large and judiciously selected, from this
until further notice, .will be offered at
prices which cannot be justly termed
reasonable, but which nearer approach
giving away. It will :be conceded by
all who . have bad dealings 'with
this house' that the firm do not make
this extraordinary eacrifice of goods to
add to their patronage, ea no similar
bons° in the west enjoys a larger share
of wholesale and retail trade, and cer
tainly Cone are upon a firmer financial
basis.. The object is to elms out over
$lOO,OOO worth of goods at irate, so that
the house will be prepared for any crime
which may arise out, of the troubled
condition of the money market. Here
are a few of the prices prevailing,
