▲ Serloni Practical Joke.
A few days ago, a trunk belonging to a
woman residing on Pennsylvania avenue, was
broken open and robbed of one bondred and
thirty dollars—eighty dollars of which were
to gold, twenty-five to silver, and twenty-
Sve in paper. The woman is a. widow, and
owns a livelihood ‘principally by washing.
The money was accumulated by years of toil,
and was doubly prised. It was taken while
she was absent at work—the house having
. been left to charge of her danghtcr, a young
woman. Suspicion at onoe fell upon a young
man who visited the daughter Ifi the charac
ter of a suitor, he having been at the house
that day. A warrant was aoeordingly issued
for his arrest, bat the daughter was willing
to testify that he had net been in' her mothers
room at all. She was positive on this point,
and her testimony would have acquitted him.
There had been another man at the house
that day, but as he was a relative, he was not
inspected of so. serious and mean a crime.
The woman, however, determined to see him,
and when she broached the subject he began
to smile, atd produoed tho missing money—
remarking that he had taken it to prove to
her the necessity of keeping hsr treasure in
a more seove place I The lock had been forced
and the money abitraeted,'aUhoaghiome jew
elry and other valuable articles had not been
tonohed. Tho foot vu at onoe oommunicited
to tho Alderman before whom tho informa
tion hid been made, and tho young man was
thus relieved from the infamous susplolon.
which the circumstances had thrown around
UiQi The motive of the man In taking the
money eras doubtless good, and . the lesson
will not ho forgotten by the woman, but the
joke (if noh it may be ealled) was highly im
proper, not to say criminal. It caused the
"arrest of an innocent man, oa one of too
most serious and infamous crimes known to
the la#, and the result should teach the gen
tleman not to play such tricks in tho future.
The Impure Meat Case.
We mentioned, a fow days ago, thootronm
stanoes attending tho prosecution of WUUam
Montgomery, market oonstable, and others,
for trespass, in seising a quarter of beet whloh
Stewart Hamilton had sold to Mrs. Margaret
Paris. : Tho allegation is that the boot was
nut impure, and Mrs. Davis corroborates this
view. The Mayor had fined Hamilton for
offering this beef for sale, after which the suit
for trespass was entered. Sinoo then, officer
Montgomery has sued Hamilton, under the
Esnel oode, for selling unwholesome meat.A
earing of the case came off on Friday, before
Alderman Soott, and a number of butehers
testified that the beef was not good. The pen
alty, under the seetipn of the penal code, Is a
fine of on# hundred dollars, or Imprisonment
for six months. Hamilton was held to bail
for trial. *

Dr* JLilUe’e LaaghingGae Exhibition.
Our Cleveland friends are enjoying a rioh
entertainment given by Dr. J. H. Lillie
through the ageney of Nitrous Oxide, or
Laughing Gas. The following is from toe
Cleveland ;
Such shouts of laughter have seldom shaken
the walls and roof of Brainard's Hall as have
been heard there fori the last two nights at Dr.
Lilllo’s entertainments. Under the infleenoe
of the gas which be‘ administers (and which,
by the way, Is as harmless as so muth airj) the
inhalers cxhlbit the strangest phases of in
tense enjoyment. One sings as if ho ! wcre
paid byihe note with specie; another dances
in a style whioh Fenny EUsler or Taglioni
never achieved; another imagines himMlf in
Congress or a sohool district eauous, end
makes a furious speeoh laughs until
he shakes the buttons off Mi waistcoat, and so
on through the Ust of emotions. It is richly
worth due’s while to go and see too offset of
this laughing gas upon the different tempera
ments. 1
In addition to these comical features of the
enter tainmen t, Dr. LLille bae a series of highly
Interesting and Instructive experiments in
ohemistry end phiiosphy that are worth more
than the price of entrance fee.

OUR SPECIAL DISPATCHES.
Special Dispatch to the Pittsburgh Gazette.
Wasbixotos, Fob. 27, 1863.
SIXAKOIAL AXXAIXS.
Even the members of the Conference Com
mittee disagree as to tha preolie effsots of
their compromise proposition, adopted in the
House yosterday aftornooon. It is. clear,
however, that, substantially, everything is
placed in Seoretary Chase’s hands. Hb car
ried his point fully as to the legal tenders,
thsre being literally but $50,000,000 more aa
thorised, on which number all parties had
long ago agreed. There are but $200,000,000
of currenoy. He is bound to issue $50,000,000
legal tinders, $50,000,000 postal ourrenoy, and
$100,000,000 legal tenders, voted some time
ago to pay the army. He has power, if be
chooses,to throw into oiroulatioa $700,000,000
more, as follows s $400,000,000 interest bear
ing treasury notes, whioh he may make con
vertible, and for the redemption of whioh ho
may provide a reserve fund of further legal
teaders, and $300,000,000 bonds, authorised
in the buik bill, and to be used as a basis for'
at least that muoh more ourrsnoy. The im
mediate resuls of this stave of affairs must be
the further inflatisn. The subsequent effcot
must deptnd largely upon the disclosures as
to Secretary Chase’s intentions about the ex
tent, to whioh he will use the disorelionary
power placed in his bauds.
The Uouto has just voted to tax the banks
throe per cent, on their profits, where they
have evaded the previous tax by deolaring
bo dividend.
The seoond Conference Committee, on the
Ways and Means bill, consisting of Senators
Sherman, Collamor and Harding, and Bopre
sentatives Washburns, Spaulding and Dawes.
After two meetings, they wanted to agree on’
the bank taxing seotion disagreement.
Messrs. Sherman, Hardiug and Washburne
united on two. per cent ,* after two years.
Messrs. Coilaaer, Dawes and Spaulding re
fused, ana would agree to one-eighth of one
per oeoy on doposlts over tho average circula
tion, besides one per oent. on circulation, aai
to nothing more.
The Committee reported a disagreement.
Mr. Washburne moved to recede from tho
disagreement to tho Senate's amendment, ar
guing the importance ot taxing the banks, and
showing the danger ot the failure of bills.
Mr. Dawes opposed Mr. Colfex and sup
ported Mr. Washburne. Mr. Thomas, ot
Mass., followed in opposition,‘arguing that
the responsibility ot the failure of-the meas
ure must rest with the Senate, the revenue
measures being in the province of the House,
and that the provision was intended to de
stroy banks, whoso usefulness he maintained.
The previous question was then ordered. The
yeas and nays on too motion to reoede from
toe vote on Mr. Washbburne’i motion stood
63 yeas to 75 nays. A new committee was
ordered cn motion of Mr. DSwei. It consists
of Messrs. Dawes, Fenton and Maynard. Tho
two former take the House view and the latter
the Senate view. One compromise suggested
as probable is to make an increase to two per
cent, in three years in lead of two.
The bill making amendments to the tax
law is in some danger, having been reported
so near toe end of the seeiioa, and toe House
having since then spent so muoh time in dii
eassing it, that the Secretary of the Treasury
transmitted to-day a supplementary letter
answering the Senate resolution about tho
Importations on paper under the act of March
2i, 1861.
He says additional reports have been re
ceived from the Collectors of Now Yoxk and
Boston, from wkioh it appoars that there has
been no importation of printing paper
whatever at either of these places sinoo toe
passage of the aot named.
No stronger argument for lowering duty
oould possibly be presented, but Morrill, who
is said to bs e shareholder In e paper mill,
still steads in the way.
THE FAT OF YOIffETERa AMD MILITIA.
The joint resolution, l&trodoced by Senator
Wilson to-day, provides that the existing
lairs relating to the pay of volunteers and
militia be so oonstrued as to allow their pay
ments to oommenoe as follows, or to the en
listed meo from date: From individual
enrolment or enlistment; and to commission
ed officers-from the date from whloh they are
mustered into servioe, the day of entering on
notion, duty in the field, or proper order to
that effeot, or the date of the organisation of
their respective companies or regiments In
the manner prescribed by the general orders
of the War Department, whlohever one
of these dates shall, in point of time, soonest
occur, and that all recruits and enlisted men,
either in the regalar army or volunteer ser
vice of tho United States, who have received
or shall be entitled to receive an edvenoe
nou&ty of twenty-five dollars, end shall not
forfeit the same unless discharged or under
the sentenoe of a general oourt martial, by or
ders by way of punishment, or in consequence
of fraud on the part of the soldiers. Thir
materially increases toe pay of many soldiers,
and does away with toe injustioe of keeping
troops in camp without pay, so long as the
regiment Is not made up.
XMAXCIPATIOX IX MISSOURI.

House—The kill to accept toe grant of
pubiio lands by the United States to'the sev
eral States for the endowment of agricultural
colleges was passed.
• Ur. Pershing said the grant would be giv
ing the State eight hundred thousand acres of
public lands, if thedands are worth one dol
lar an acre, it will b 4 equal to the sum of
eight hundred thousand dollars. He was in
favor of endowing the Farm Sohool of
Pennsylvania, bat as probably there would
be a surplus left, he was io favor of giving
some to some other institution, for an
asylum foP soldiers or public school pur
poses^
Mr. Kaine said that the bill had been pre
pared by those immediately interested In the
Farm Sohool in Centre county. There is no
land coming to toe Btate of Pennsylvania.
It is only land sorip, uoder the Act of Con
gress, toe proceeds cannot be appropriat
ed for other purpose than agricultural
colleges. Tho amount to be realised from the
lands would be, he thought, about twenty
thousand dollars a year. The Farm Sohool
in Centre eouuty may be considered a State
institution. ’
The State ha* appropriated about one hun
dred thousand dollars to it, and students are
charged one hundred dotiars^a year tuition.
They have four hundred acres, he believed,
' ■ .
for the purpose of toohing the soionoo of
agriculture. He favor of ooncentrab
lug the best ability toe oonntry can produoo
around Institution* of this kind.

pretend to Instruct ip the meohanio arts in
the farm school, as an sot of Congress also
Mr. Vincent said that tho Stato.of Penn
sylvania, by the act bf Congress, was ooly a

Hocsn.—Ur. Holman, of Ind., from the
Select Commitieo on Government Contracts,
reported a resolution, which was adopted, that
the Secretary of tbe Treasury bo requested to
decline any farther payment to the parties
interested on account ef the chartering of the
steamer Catalfhe, in April, 186 L.
Tbe House then wont into a Committee of
the Whole oh the ctato of the Union, Mr
Colfax, of Ind., in the Chair, and resumed
the consideration of' the amendments to the
Internal . Revenue bill. A substitute was
adopted for the sixth seotlen, imposing new
rates of stamp t£i< on promissory notes, in
order that the .tax may bo more oertAlnly ex
eented and to avoid erosions; and also on
bonds and mortgages with- powers of attor
neys; also taxes bn thesale of ships and as
signment: of insurance policies, etc. It ex
empts pension papers of soldiers and sailors
from taxation. ‘ The eighth section was
amended; so as to add navigation and turnpike
oompanlefl.
* Mr. Morrell/of Vt;, offered a new section,
that every incorporated bank or private in
stitution/ legally-authorized {to issue notes,
shall be required to make returns under oath
oh the first of January and July, or within
thirty days thereafter, the amount of profits
which haveaodroedior been earned during the
six months' next preceding, ou .which there
shall be paid three per centum. Adopted.
Numerous other, amendments were- acted
upon, but no material alteration was made in
the bill as reported by tbe Committee. The
House then took a recess till seven o'clock. .
• Evening Seuion. —The new loetien was
adopted.:; The Assistant Treasurer at San
Franolsoois required to audit, allow, and pay
for'the service of collectors and assessors in
the States of California, Orogon, and Wash
ington and Nevada Territories. The Com
mittee rose, having acted on aU sections of
the bill, and reported Its notion to the House.
Mr. Washburn, from the Committee of Con
ference bn the' disagreeing amendments to
the bank clause of the bill to provide ways
and means for the support: of,the Govern
ment, reported that tbs Committee was una
ble to agree. 'He moved that the House re
code from the disagreement to the Senate
amendments. |
Mil Rbacoe Conkllng raised a point of or
der, thatias the amendment proposed a tax.
It must,'bo considered In Committee of the
Whole oh the Bbato of the Union. 1
The Speaker overruled the point.
Mr. Washburne moved the previous ques
tion, which was hot seconded—eyes 48, noes
68. •
Mr. Dawes'said they had understood the
adoption of the Bank MU was merely to give
an opportunity to introduce a system of na
tional banking under that 'measure, it being
expressly understood there should be no co
ercion. Ndw, the proposition of the Senate,
if adopted, would ohango the tax whloh was
fixed in the but and obtained a majority in
this House. The seoond. objection was, it
would place tbo government in hostility
against jail the banking interests of the coun
try, and aU the industrial interests connected
therewith. It was a proclamation to the
banking interests that subh has been their
course during; the war, and their present at
titude, and such the strength of the govern
me&Vthat it can afford to place itself in a hos
tile array and crush them out.
The banking institutions of Now York not
only lent to the Government every dollar, but
three for every two they had. With a .capi
tal of $108,000,000, they lent their oaah and
credit to the extent 0f'5150,000,000.
' Mr. Washburne said it was usual to have
the vote on the report of a committee at once.
Ha did hot recollect of an Instance when it
was refuted to second the demand for the pre
vious question, but the House had now refus
ed to do so. He denied that the Government
was placing iUelfin hostilo array against the
banks In the Tax bill. Thero was no tex
ou bank notes, while every other interest
was taxed; yet when it was proposed to put
a tax of one per centum only on banks for the
first two years, and after that only two per
oentum, they were told- that it wait, arraying,
the Government ia hostility- against the
banks.
Mr. Kellogg, of 111., said the country was
tired of .bearing the eternal complaints of tbe
banks and the wrongs they were suffering at
the bahds of the Government.,
Tho House, by a vote of 63 against 75, re
fused to reoodo from its disagreement to the
Senate's amendment.
On motion of Mr. Dawes ihe House insisted
on its disagreement, and asked another Com
mittee of Cohferenoe.
Mr. Stevehs, from the Committee of Confer
ence oh the disagreeing votes on the bill to
indemnify the President and others, for nets
committed under the suspension of the privi
lege of the writ of habeas oorput, presented a
report thereon. It authorises the President,
during:', tbe present rebellion and when the
public safety requires it, to suspend the writ
of habeas corpus in any State or parts of
States,-and provides for discharges by Courts
the parties discharged to take the oath of • al
legiance. j
Mr./Peudfoton raised the point -that this
was not tho Report agreed upon in the joint
oommiitee of'oonferenoe, but was altered after
thtf. meeting adjourned, contrary to the
manual.
Messrs. Stevens and {Bingham aevaraUy
