Final Passage otehe• Treasury Note Bills
HATE
Wesimenort, Feb. 24.
The joint resolution in relation to certain
railroads in klissoUri was amended and passed.
Mr. FRBSIOIDIN Oubmitted a report from the
Committee of ference on the disagreeing
-votes of the two oases on the bill to author
ize the issue of led States notes, and for the
redemption or funding thereof, and for funding
the floating debtof the United States. The
committee recommend that the Senate recede
from their second, fourth, and fifth amend
ments, by which the old notes now out were
retained, instead of issuing new ones to the
whole amount of one hundred and fifty million
dollars ; that the House recede from their disa
greement to the ninth and fourteenth amend
meate of the Senate, by which the notes are
made redeemable at the pleasure of the Gov
ernment after five years, and payable in twenty
years; that the House • recede from their
amendments to the eighteenth amendment of
the Senate. .
The Senate amendment authorised the de
posit of these notes for net less than thirty
dap, in sums, of not less than $lOO, with any
of the Assistant Treasurers of the United
States, for which deposit certificates were to be
issued bearing five percent. interest; the inter n
est to cease at the pleasure of the Secretary of
the Treasuty, and the aggregate of the deposits
not to exceed $26,0000,000. The House amend
ment, to the Senate amendment (from which
they recede) was to insert the words "or coin,"
so as to allow deposits to be made in notes or
coin, and to strike out the five per cent interest
and insert "at the rate which the Secretary of
the Treasury may from time to time prescribe,
not exceeding six per cent. per annum."
The Committee on Conference also recom
mend that the Senate recede from so much of
their tenth amendment as proposes to insert the
words in lien of words stricken out, and that
the House agree to the amendment as so modi
fied. The tenth amendment of the Senate was
the amendment striking out of the provisions
authorising the Secretary of the Treasury to
issue a portion of the bonds at seven per cent.
interest, pafable in five years, and inserting
bends bearing seven three-tenths per cent. in
terest, payable in two years, and the effect of
the Committee's agreement is to strike out
both provisions.
The Committee of Conference also recom
mended that the House recede from its disa
greement to the Senate's nineteenth amend
ment and agree to the same with the following
amendments: After the word "good," in the
second line, strike out the words "the proceeds
of the sale of the public lands and the proceeds
of id I property seized and sold under the laws
bf the United States as the property of rebels,"
and insert the words, "shall be paid in coin
and;"' and after the word "taxes," in the first
section of the twenty-first line,lnsert "inter
nal;" and after the word "dutis," in the same
line, strike out the word "imposts," and after
the word "States," in the twenty-third line,
insert "except duties or imports;" and in line
thirty, after word "interest,' insert the words
"and duties on imports." The effect of these
alterations is to m.ke the duties on imports
payable in coin, and to pledge them specifically
for the payment ot. the interest on the notes
and bait's, and for the purpose of raising a
fund to,redeem the principal, end striking out
of the Senate amendment the pledge of the
Public lands and the proceeds of the property
seized as `the property of rebels.
' The report was concurred in.
Su uently a 'message from the Some of
Itepr naives - announced that they, had also

On motion of Mr. Fassumm the motion

ference on treasury note bill was mconsidered;
and the Senate disagreed to the report and the
bill was recommitted to the Committee of Con
ference.
MCI HALM offered an amendment lbnitiog the
appropriation to twenty thousand.. Adopted.
Mr. Canute said the bill involved some very
important principles of the Constitution, and
of expediency, and wanted time to examine.=
He moved to lay it on the table.
• Mr. Hats hoped the Senate would pars this.
bill and several others, especially the bill for
the confi.cation of thousands and millions of
dollars here in this very oity belonging to rebels,
which ought to be attended to.
On motion of Mr. Dootrrrti the bill wail
postponed till to-morrow and made the ape

Mr. TRIM:BULL moved to take up the bill for

He said there was a pressing necessity for it
Within a few weeks the property of a rebe.
General in this city had been sold and the pro
ceeds transmitted to him, while we are sitting
here and talking among ourselves and.impos
ing paper currency . on the suffering soldiers.
The bill was Ulan np and was debuted, but
no action was bad on it. 80Me elerW amend
ments were , made to the blll,,dibes ttea moat,
ing hour expired and the Chair called up the
special order, the case of Mr. Starke, of Oregon.
Mr. Tams= moved to postpone the special
order and continue the consideration of this
bill. Agreed to—yeas 22, nays 16. The con
fiscation bill was farther considered, but no ac
tion was taken.
MB, consent, Mr. Fessmirms introduced a bill
authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to
issue to public creditors certificates for the
whole amount of the debt, the certificate not
less than one thousand dollars, payable one
year or earlier, at the option of the government
and bearting six per cent. interest. The bill
was passed. Adjourned.
On motion of hir. Mersoar, the committee
on the judiciary were instructed to inquire into
the propriety of investing United States com
missioners with power to issue writs of habeas

haviour, and to increase the compensation of
said commissioners.
Mr. Yauwitn introduced a bill to tax the

Mr. Farms introdue . ad a bill relating to

rebellion.
The United States note bill at the instance of
the Senate hoe been referred to the Committee
of Conference.
Mr. &Ant, (M 0.,) called up Senate bill to
reduce the number of calvary regiments.
He said, in explanation, that the number of
such regiments is seventy-eight, the organisa
tion of some of which are imperfect, and be
sides arms for all of them cannot be conve
niently procured. Complete regiments can be
made up by the pending bill. Some of the
enlisted men do not know how to ride, and
perhaps never will learn. The government
would save about one-fourth of the present ex
penditures by the passage of this meaSure.—
The expense of maintaining a single regiment
is a million dollars per year.
The House amended the bill eo as to reduce
the number of cavalry regiments to fifty instead
of forty, as proposed by the Senate. The offi
cers and enlisted men necessarily discharged by
the reduction to receive three months' full pay
in addition to the allowances prescribed by law
—all officers of cavalry to be examined by a
board of alters as to fitness, eta.
The bill passed.
