He thought the government ought to give tjbem work to do or the army, the manutacon of .clothing, &c* or a law might be pissed g ving them use of lands subject to ooansoattea Be wished the memorial to be referred to t * Committee on Public Lands, and it was so i rported. Mr. Watson, from the MBit ay Committee re- ported back the resolution to tistriibuie tbe pro- ceeds of the cotton captured i i Savannah among the officers and soldiers of G< a. Sherman's army with the unanimous r*comm< ndatlon that it be indefinitely postponed, and it was so ordered. Mr. Anthony offered tbe r monstrance of the National India Rubber Coi ipaay against the extension of the Goodyear tatent, which was refered to tbe Committee on 3 Stents. Mr. Hale offered aresoluti >a Instructing the Committee on Commerce to 1 jquire into the ex- pediency of intteaafog the c unpensation of the American Consul at Halifax which was passed. Mr. Doolittle offered a joii t resolution direct- ing inquiry into tbe treatme: t of Indian tribes by the civil and military aut loritie*, which was referred to the Committee on Indian Affairs. Mr. Doolittle called attent on to a letter from an officer stationed in Coloi ado in reference to the alleged brutality of Coli Chivfogton toward certain Indians, stating that te wantonly slaugh- tered them, plundered them &c. j Mr. Pomeroy offered a res ilation directing the Judiciary Committee to inqi ire what legislation was necessary to enable the President to call au extra session of the 39th Co lgress without giv- ing the sixty days notice c ow required, which was adopted. On motion of Mr. Wilson, the joint resolution freeing the wives and childi en of colored sol- diers was taken up. Mr. Saulsbury spoke aga nst the resolution. He denied the authority of Congress to pass such a resolution. The Congress had ho right to free the slaves enlisted in the army. It has no right to legislate on the subject of slavery, although It had done so, and contemplatedjbeing so in the amendment to the Constitution. There was no necessity for passing such a resolution for all were practically free j slaves according to the party in power. He denied the right to capture and carry away slaves especially in States that' had never been in Tevolt This doctrine was held by Johy Quincy Adams, in 1810 who wrote that a nation at war with another, had no more right to capture negroes and free them, than to murder prisoners in cold blood. He opposed the measure before the Senate on the ground of policy and of humanity, and because it was op* posed to the legislature rules of war. The policy proposed by the party in power was ab- horent to Napoleon. Gen. Scott had expressed his opinion against tbe right of Congress to inter- fere with slavery in tbe States. Mr. Davis moved'to amend the resolution so as to make its action prospective only, and not retrospective and prospective as reported by the Military Committee; He regarded tho resolu- tion as a violation of the Constitution, but if it must pass he did riot see that freeng the wives and children of those already in tbe service would promote enlistments, and he therefore hoped that it would'be made to operate only In the cases of those who should hereafter enlfst. Mr. Clark hoped the amendment would not be adopted, and spoke briefly against it Mr. Pomeroy spoke in favor of the resolution. Mr. Brown said he intended in a short time to call up the resolution in relation to slavery introduced by him at the last session, but he did not wish this to prevent the passage of the reso- lution now before the Senate. Mr. Hendricks argued against the proposition before the Senate, though he believed that a vote for it would be a vote to favor of the slave-own- ers, because, as the male slaves had all been put into the army, it would be for the interest of the slave-owners to be relieved from tbe care of the women and children!. , Mr. IWade thought 1 the proposition before the Senate! was so plain that it needed no argument ft ought to have been passed when Congress decided to take colored men into the army. He denied that tbe Republican party in a time of peace lever attempted to Interfere with slavery in the States, but when the war broke out and slaverjp tried to kill the Government the case became different. Slavery was unorganized rebellion and be hoped there would be no peace until ijt was abolished. The. war was in the commencement strictly defensive, but now he hoped it would continue for thirty years If necessary, or until tbe nation was bankrupt rather than that it should end be- fore the abolition of slavery, pe was glad tbe South had held out, and he hoped they would hold out in their blindness uutil they necessita- ted the only thing that would, give us lasting peace. Mr. Davis resumed in opposition to the reso- lution. He and his constituents were slave- holders, and their rights were guaranteed by the laws of their State and of Congress. The cru- sade against slavery was unjust, fanatical and piratical, like all other crusades. Mr. Johnson disputed the authority of Con- gress to pass such a resolution. There was no doubt of the authority of Congress to enlist Braves, or of-.its right to amend the Constitution so as to abolish slavery. He (Johnson) did not believe that the fact of a slave being called into the service of the Uni- ted States made him free, though he believed it to be the duty ol Congress to provide for tbe freedom of all such men by compensating their masters, or by other constitutional means. There had been no difficulty experienced in getting colored soldier*. In Maryland especially he knew that nearly all the male staves had been taken into the service, either for^ibly.or of their own volitition. 1 He, Johnson, disliked the institution of slave- ry as much as Mr Wade or anybody else. He believed it to be a dire evil, but he could not en- dorse Mr Wade when the latter said he wanted the war to continue for 30 years, if necessary, rather than end without tbe abolition of slavery. Slavery was already mortally wounded and could not survive even If peace, without Ita abo- lition, was declared fo-morrow. He believed the rebels bad good"reason to believe that Eng- land and France would aid them to achieve their independence if they Would abolish slavery, as they unquestionably had a right to do. What would tbe Senator from Ohio do then? Would he submit to the dissolution of the Union pro- vided tbe South should abolish slavery? He, Johnson, was happy to know that the President did not concur in the views of Mr. Wade. Dur- ing the last political canvass a paper, known by its title, ''To whom it may concern," was circu- lated. One of the conditions of peace named in It was tbe abolition of slavery, but the friends of the President took good care to explain this away before the people, and tell them it did not mean exactly what appeared on its face. He was happy to see also that tbe President in his message, had averred the restoration of the Union to be the only object of the war. Mr. Johnson dwelt at some length upon tbe President's declaration that the war would cease on the part of the government as soon as it should have ceased on the part of those who commenced it He was in favor of this settlement but op- posed to the views of Mr. Wade. Mr. Wade said the opinion of the President had no more weight than those of any other man on this subject He had his own views on the question of slavery, and had nothing to abate of what be had said on i t He did not fear the bug-aboose of foreign intervention. He feared nothing for this country but injustice. Let us clear our own skirts of injustice and wrong, and then we shall have little to fear from any other source. The Senator from Maryland had depicted the evils of slavery, and yet he feared to walk up to the way of its abolition. The Convention that nominated Mr. Lincoln laid down the principle that slavery should be eradicated, and Mr. Lin- coln consented to i t Would the Senator from Maryland say that Mr. Lincoln had broken out of this and would consent to the return of the southern states whenever they laid down their arms ? If the southern states would abolish slavery in order te become the vassals of Europ ean powers; he (Wade) would make them do that very thing tosnbmit to the authority of the federal government We had a right, under tbe laws of war, to abolish slavery. When the south lay down their arms and sue for peace, they must do so with clean hands. They cannot beg for mercy while slavery exists among them. There can be no peace while slavery exists. There cannot be a free nation that slavery Is not at war witb. tf^lWd*»*la»3a4«# of this now, would be ^sMatteteBooa] B«Bt**'wa»* put Into office by, fides ta«**M*« He (Wade) knew that the abolttico of ahwery was the only coadllfon upon which the president could con- sent to peace. The radical men were the men of principle. They go deetiy down Intoprln- dpto, and could not be oaoverted from their grand purpose. ; . ..;. • J • Tbeprincipkehenow contended tor he aad contended for ten years ago la a miserable rae* noriiy, and when he and; hat radical friend* walked op the Avenue they were la danger of being beset by the minions ; of slavery. Where were the miserable conservatives now? Did they •appose the radicals would abandon all they had gained, and come back again under the yoke? If itiwas true that the President was not for the abolition of slavery as aa Indispensable condi- tion to peace how much the worse for the Presi- dent Mr. Wilson next took the floor in advocacy of the resolution which he said would emancipate from seventy-five to one-hundred-thousand women and children. The amendment of Mr. Davl* was then voted down. . Mr. Powell offered aa amendment that the owner of the slaves emancipated under thepro- vi. ions of the resolution should be compensated. Mr. Powell spoke against the resolution. Be reviewed the cause of the war, and the policy of the Administration after which the question was taken on the adoption of his amendment The yeas and nay* were demanded resulting as follows: Yeas 7—Nays 30. The amendment was lost The Senate then went Into executive se*sion,and soon after adjourned. 1 WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. The President today, in answer to a resolution of the House, communicated the report of Col. Thomas M Key, giving an account of the Inter- view between himself and Gen Howell Cobb on the 14th of June, 1802, op the banks of the Chickahominy. The report ia addressed to the Secretary of War. Coi Key says: 1 am Instructed by Major General McClellsn to report to you the sub- stance of- an interview held by me with the Hon Howell Cobb, now acting as a Brig General in the rebel army at Richmond. I was ordered to proceed with a flag of truce to the bridge cross- ing the Chickahominy on the Mechanicsville road, where I would be met by Gen Cobb, for the purpose of a conference with regard to an expbange of prisoners; my instructions being to le^rn tbe views of the rebel government, and report them to Major Gen McClellan. Making arrangements for a second meeting, I also received permission to converse with Gen. Cobb upon the general subject of the existing contest, Informing him, however, that all such conversation was purely personal, and not in any respect of an official representative charac- ter. I went to the place appointed, and was met on the bridge by Gen. Cobb. We availed ourselves as suggested by Gen. McClellan of the shelter of a little hut made by our pickets a few feet from the bridge, and talked together for several hours, the conversation being carried on chiefly by him. In regard to the exchange of prisoners he exhibited written authority from Gen. Lee, commander of the whole army of the Confederate States, giving him full power to make any convention on the subject as to any or all prisoners of war wherever captured. He expressed a readiness to make an agreement embracing all prisoners now held on either side, or including only those taken by the respective armies now confronting each other before Rich- mond, and to make such agreement applicable either to existing prisoners or also to those here- after captured. He stated that he would sign any cartel which was based upon principles of entire equality, and he proposed that exchanges should take place according to the date of capture; first, however, exhausting the list of officers— the scale of equivalents to be any one that we might present which would operate equally; for instance, tbe one exhibited to him by General Wool at a conference between them, and which was taken from a cartel between tbe United States and Great Britain in 1812; the exchanged persons to be conveyed by the captors at the captor's expense, to some point of delivery con- venient to the other party. He suggested the propriety of releasing upon parole any surplus of prisoners remaining on hand after tbe ex- changes had exhausted either party. Tho bill introduced by Mr Ward to-day which WSB referred to thej Committee of Ways and Means, provides for tbe repeal of so much of the act to increase the internal revenue, passed March 7th, 18C4, as imposes a tax of forty cents per gullon upon spirits distilled from grain or other materials imported prior to the passage of that act; and also so much of section 173 of the act of June 30th, 1864, to provide internal rev- enue, <fcc, as! continues in force any fines, lieu*, penalties and forfeitures, and authorizing the carrying out and completing all proceedings that bavejbeen or may be commenced to enforce such fines, penalties and forfeitures so far as re- lates to the collection of the tax. The Secretary of the Treasury is directed to refund to the proper parties the taxes collected under the provisions of the 7th section. The Supreme Court of the United States pro- nounced an opinion to-day in the case of Stone vs. the United States, affirming to the latter the title to tbe southern part of the Fort Leaven- worth Reservation. ^ ~ The Senate, in executive session, confirmed the nomination of Alexander S. Johnson, of N. Y., as commissioner for the settlement of the claims of the Hudson's Bay and Puget Sound Agricultural Company vice Daniel S. Dickinson declined. The President has sent a message to Con- gress asking that an appropriation be made for the portion of money to be paid by the United States under the treaty with Belgium for the capitalization of the Schelde dues. The subscriptions to the 10-40 loan for the 6th and 7th tost amounted to $25,075,650, and to the 7-80 loan nearly $4,500,000. The items in tbe Legislature, Judicial and Ex- ecutive Appropriation bill reported to-day are heavier than heretofore. The appropriations for the Government Print- ing Bureau amounts to nearly a million and a half, the paper alone being $629,000. The total amount for the Agricultural Depart- ment including the purchase and distribution of seed 8 and for the propagating and experimental garden is $160,000. 1 i VttlUtARstnT.

The tunneling process began ftt its eastern extremity, and through the solid rock, has al~ ready been puahed 150 feet Its extreme length is to be about 800 feet, which,will bring its inlet or bead about 100 feet above jtbe ifocks.

How TO J anna a Hoasa.—An exchange gives the following instruction*, which we pub­lish for the benefit of those who! won 'd know how to judge the age of a horse: •

About two years old the horse shad*; the t< teeth ot the oadar Jaw; at three year* old two other teeth, on* on each side of those h< year before; at four years be abed* tba two i or corner teeth: at are year* the twomiodii full, being no long** hollow, as the OUi teeth will have penetrated the gums,-}at the four middle teeth are full, the corner malatog hollow—the tuaaa are sharp wii fluted, at seven years old the corner teeth «tf full, the uiska larger and thicker, and the horse la said to be aged. Occasionally, however, these marks Will slight­ly vary, a good deal depending on theanimalrsconaii-mtion, whether he be a late or early- foal; ajlae upon the rMT"""' in which he has bean reared, thb hind of food, shelter, Ac

When we consider the number of human beings that die with Consumption every year, the importance of a medicine that wil« cure all pulmonary affections that tend to this complaint, and even to arrest the destroyer after it has in­dicated its presence in the system, must be ad mltted to be beyond all estimate. This wonder, ful power is claimed to be possessed by Allen's Lung Balaam.

Some shelling took place near the Appomattox yesterday morning, but without aay important result Four desert­ers were executed yesterday., Oae was hung and three were shot. ' The first was W. Thorn­ton, of the 179th N. Y. for having deserted to the enemy. The others were John Benson, 5th N, H.; P. M. Cox, 4tb[N. J., and Michael Wool, 184th Pa. j

Some fifteen deserters from the enemy came in this morning, four of; them being cavalrymen with their horses and equipments.

A party of poor whites, numbering about twenty-five said to be lately Inmates of the poor-house in Prince George county came Into our lines yesterday, and were sent north to-day. They were forced to leave on account of the scarcity of food in the district where they had lived, and they looked as though they suffered for the bare necessities of life for some time.

Mr. Sherman presented the} awmorial cf the President of the Refugee Bel if. Coauntaioo of Ohio, asking for an appropri* ten of sucskayfor the support cf gouthera rerag eav

Mt. Sherman said j there i e re tltonsanrl* of loyal refugee* in the cities it Cincinnati, St> Loul*, and Looirrate their ooditiac was de^ plorahle. Not teas tnaa one xondred thouaand white people had been reade ad' homrias* aad scattered through the south fc r, the fortuaeaof wast. He thought Congress >ught to do some­thing In the matter, tut he d 4 not believe the appropriation of mbaey Woa d be the meet ju­dicious means of relieving hem. He thought the government ought to give tjbem work to do or the army, the manutacon of .clothing, &c* or a law might be pissed g ving them use of lands subject to ooansoattea B e wished the memorial to be referred to t * Committee on Public Lands, and it was so i rported.

Mr. Watson, from the MBit ay Committee re­ported back the resolution to tistriibuie tbe pro­ceeds of the cotton captured i i Savannah among the officers and soldiers of G< a. Sherman's army with the unanimous r*comm< ndatlon that it be indefinitely postponed, and it was so ordered.

Mr. Anthony offered tbe r monstrance of the National India Rubber Coi ipaay against the extension of the Goodyear tatent, which was refered to tbe Committee on 3 Stents.

Mr. Hale offered aresoluti >a Instructing the Committee on Commerce to 1 jquire into the ex­pediency of intteaafog the c unpensation of the American Consul at Halifax which was passed.

Mr. Doolittle offered a joii t resolution direct­ing inquiry into tbe treatme: t of Indian tribes by the civil and military aut loritie*, which was referred to the Committee on Indian Affairs.

Mr. Doolittle called attent on to a letter from an officer stationed in Coloi ado in reference to the alleged brutality of Coli Chivfogton toward certain Indians, stating that te wantonly slaugh­tered them, plundered them &c. j

Mr. Pomeroy offered a res ilation directing the Judiciary Committee to inqi ire what legislation was necessary to enable the President to call au extra session of the 39th Co lgress without giv­ing the sixty days notice c ow required, which was adopted.

On motion of Mr. Wilson, the joint resolution freeing the wives and childi en of colored sol­diers was taken up.

Mr. Saulsbury spoke aga nst the resolution. He denied the authority of Congress to pass such a resolution. The Congress had ho right to free the slaves enlisted in the army. It has no right to legislate on the subject of slavery, although It had done so, and contemplatedjbeing so in the amendment to the Constitution. There was no necessity for passing such a resolution for all were practically free j slaves according to the party in power. He denied the right to capture and carry away slaves especially in States that' had never been in Tevolt This doctrine was held by Johy Quincy Adams, in 1810 who wrote that a nation at war with another, had no more right to capture negroes and free them, than to murder prisoners in cold blood. He opposed the measure before the Senate on the ground of policy and of humanity, and because it was op* posed to the legislature rules of war. The policy proposed by the party in power was ab-horent to Napoleon. Gen. Scott had expressed his opinion against tbe right of Congress to inter­fere with slavery in tbe States.

Mr. Davis moved'to amend the resolution so as to make its action prospective only, and not retrospective and prospective as reported by the Military Committee; He regarded tho resolu­tion as a violation of the Constitution, but if it must pass he did riot see that freeng the wives and children of those already in tbe service would promote enlistments, and he therefore hoped that it would'be made to operate only In the cases of those who should hereafter enlfst.

Mr. Clark hoped the amendment would not be adopted, and spoke briefly against i t

Mr. Pomeroy spoke in favor of the resolution. Mr. Brown said he intended in a short time

to call up the resolution in relation to slavery introduced by him at the last session, but he did not wish this to prevent the passage of the reso­lution now before the Senate.

Mr. Hendricks argued against the proposition before the Senate, though he believed that a vote for it would be a vote to favor of the slave-own­ers, because, as the male slaves had all been put into the army, it would be for the interest of the slave-owners to be relieved from tbe care of the women and children!. ,

Mr. IWade thought1 the proposition before the Senate! was so plain that it needed no argument ft ought to have been passed when Congress decided to take colored men into the army. He denied that tbe Republican party in a time of peace lever attempted to Interfere with slavery in the States, but when the war broke out and slaverjp tried to kill the Government the case became different. Slavery was unorganized rebellion and be hoped there would be no peace until ijt was abolished.

The. war was in the commencement strictly defensive, but now he hoped it would continue for thirty years If necessary, or until tbe nation was bankrupt rather than that it should end be­fore the abolition of slavery, p e was glad tbe South had held out, and he hoped they would hold out in their blindness uutil they necessita­ted the only thing that would, give us lasting peace.

Mr. Davis resumed in opposition to the reso­lution. He and his constituents were slave­holders, and their rights were guaranteed by the laws of their State and of Congress. The cru­sade against slavery was unjust, fanatical and piratical, like all other crusades.

Mr. Johnson disputed the authority of Con­gress to pass such a resolution. There was no doubt of the authority of Congress to enlist Braves, or of-.its right to amend the Constitution so as to abolish slavery.

He (Johnson) did not believe that the fact of a slave being called into the service of the Uni­ted States made him free, though he believed it to be the duty ol Congress to provide for tbe freedom of all such men by compensating their masters, or by other constitutional means. There had been no difficulty experienced in getting colored soldier*. In Maryland especially he knew that nearly all the male staves had been taken into the service, either for^ibly.or of their own volitition. 1

He, Johnson, disliked the institution of slave­ry as much as Mr Wade or anybody else. He believed it to be a dire evil, but he could not en­dorse Mr Wade when the latter said he wanted the war to continue for 30 years, if necessary, rather than end without tbe abolition of slavery.

Slavery was already mortally wounded and could not survive even If peace, without Ita abo­lition, was declared fo-morrow. He believed the rebels bad good"reason to believe that Eng­land and France would aid them to achieve their independence if they Would abolish slavery, as they unquestionably had a right to do. What would tbe Senator from Ohio do then? Would he submit to the dissolution of the Union pro­vided tbe South should abolish slavery? He, Johnson, was happy to know that the President did not concur in the views of Mr. Wade. Dur­ing the last political canvass a paper, known by its title, ''To whom it may concern," was circu­lated. One of the conditions of peace named in It was tbe abolition of slavery, but the friends of the President took good care to explain this away before the people, and tell them it did not mean exactly what appeared on its face.

He was happy to see also that tbe President in his message, had averred the restoration of the Union to be the only object of the war.

Mr. Johnson dwelt at some length upon tbe President's declaration that the war would cease on the part of the government as soon as it should have ceased on the part of those who commenced i t He was in favor of this settlement but op­posed to the views of Mr. Wade.

Mr. Wade said the opinion of the President had no more weight than those of any other man on this subject He had his own views on the question of slavery, and had nothing to abate of what be had said on i t He did not fear the bug-aboose of foreign intervention. He feared nothing for this country but injustice. Let us clear our own skirts of injustice and wrong, and then we shall have little to fear from any other source.

The Senator from Maryland had depicted the evils of slavery, and yet he feared to walk up to the way of its abolition. The Convention that nominated Mr. Lincoln laid down the principle that slavery should be eradicated, and Mr. Lin­coln consented to i t Would the Senator from Maryland say that Mr. Lincoln had broken out of this and would consent to the return of the southern states whenever they laid down their arms ? If the southern states would abolish slavery in order te become the vassals of Europ ean powers; he (Wade) would make them do that very thing tosnbmit to the authority of the federal government We had a right, under tbe laws of war, to abolish slavery. When the south lay down their arms and sue for peace, they must do so with clean hands. They cannot beg for mercy while slavery exists among them.

There can be no peace while slavery exists. There cannot be a free nation that slavery Is not at war witb.

tf^lWd*»*la»3a4«# of this now, would be ^sMat te teBooa] B«Bt** 'wa»* put Into office by, fides ta«**M*« He (Wade) knew that the abolttico of ahwery was the only coadllfon upon which the president could con­sent to peace. The radical men were the men of principle. They go deetiy down Intoprln-dpto, and could not be oaoverted from their grand purpose. ; . ..;. • J •

Tbeprincipkehenow contended tor he aad contended for ten years ago la a miserable rae* noriiy, and when he and; hat radical friend* walked op the Avenue they were la danger of being beset by the minions; of slavery. Where were the miserable conservatives now? Did they •appose the radicals would abandon all they had gained, and come back again under the yoke? If itiwas true that the President was not for the abolition of slavery as aa Indispensable condi­tion to peace how much the worse for the Presi­dent

Mr. Wilson next took the floor in advocacy of the resolution which he said would emancipate from seventy-five to one-hundred-thousand women and children.

The amendment of Mr. Davl* was then voted down. .

Mr. Powell offered aa amendment that the owner of the slaves emancipated under thepro-vi. ions of the resolution should be compensated.

Mr. Powell spoke against the resolution. B e reviewed the cause of the war, and the policy of the Administration after which the question was taken on the adoption of his amendment

The yeas and nay* were demanded resulting as follows: Yeas 7—Nays 30. The amendment was lost The Senate then went Into executive se*sion,and soon after adjourned. 1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.

The President today, in answer to a resolution of the House, communicated the report of Col. Thomas M Key, giving an account of the Inter­view between himself and Gen Howell Cobb on the 14th of June, 1802, op the banks of the Chickahominy.

The report ia addressed to the Secretary of War. Coi Key says: 1 am Instructed by Major General McClellsn to report to you the sub­stance of- an interview held by me with the Hon Howell Cobb, now acting as a Brig General in the rebel army at Richmond. I was ordered to proceed with a flag of truce to the bridge cross­ing the Chickahominy on the Mechanicsville road, where I would be met by Gen Cobb, for the purpose of a conference with regard to an expbange of prisoners; my instructions being to le^rn tbe views of the rebel government, and report them to Major Gen McClellan.

Making arrangements for a second meeting, I also received permission to converse with Gen. Cobb upon the general subject of the existing contest, Informing him, however, that all such conversation was purely personal, and not in any respect of an official representative charac­ter. I went to the place appointed, and was met on the bridge by Gen. Cobb. We availed ourselves as suggested by Gen. McClellan of the shelter of a little hut made by our pickets a few feet from the bridge, and talked together for several hours, the conversation being carried on chiefly by him. In regard to the exchange of prisoners he exhibited written authority from Gen. Lee, commander of the whole army of the Confederate States, giving him full power to make any convention on the subject as to any or all prisoners of war wherever captured. He expressed a readiness to make an agreement embracing all prisoners now held on either side, or including only those taken by the respective armies now confronting each other before Rich­mond, and to make such agreement applicable either to existing prisoners or also to those here­after captured.

He stated that he would sign any cartel which was based upon principles of entire equality, and he proposed that exchanges should take place according to the date of capture; first, however, exhausting the list of officers— the scale of equivalents to be any one that we might present which would operate equally; for instance, tbe one exhibited to him by General Wool at a conference between them, and which was taken from a cartel between tbe United States and Great Britain in 1812; the exchanged persons to be conveyed by the captors at the captor's expense, to some point of delivery con­venient to the other party. He suggested the propriety of releasing upon parole any surplus of prisoners remaining on hand after tbe ex­changes had exhausted either party.

Tho bill introduced by Mr Ward to-day which WSB referred to thej Committee of Ways and Means, provides for tbe repeal of so much of the act to increase the internal revenue, passed March 7th, 18C4, as imposes a tax of forty cents per gullon upon spirits distilled from grain or other materials imported prior to the passage of that act; and also so much of section 173 of the act of June 30th, 1864, to provide internal rev­enue, <fcc, as! continues in force any fines, lieu*, penalties and forfeitures, and authorizing the carrying out and completing all proceedings that bavejbeen or may be commenced to enforce such fines, penalties and forfeitures so far as re­lates to the collection of the tax.

The Secretary of the Treasury is directed to refund to the proper parties the taxes collected under the provisions of the 7th section.

The Supreme Court of the United States pro­nounced an opinion to-day in the case of Stone vs. the United States, affirming to the latter the title to tbe southern part of the Fort Leaven­worth Reservation. ^ ~

The Senate, in executive session, confirmed the nomination of Alexander S. Johnson, of N. Y., as commissioner for the settlement of the claims of the Hudson's Bay and Puget Sound Agricultural Company vice Daniel S. Dickinson declined.

The President has sent a message to Con­gress asking that an appropriation be made for the portion of money to be paid by the United States under the treaty with Belgium for the capitalization of the Schelde dues.

The subscriptions to the 10-40 loan for the 6th and 7th tost amounted to $25,075,650, and to the 7-80 loan nearly $4,500,000.

The items in tbe Legislature, Judicial and Ex­ecutive Appropriation bill reported to-day are heavier than heretofore.

The appropriations for the Government Print­ing Bureau amounts to nearly a million and a half, the paper alone being $629,000.

The total amount for the Agricultural Depart­ment including the purchase and distribution of seed 8 and for the propagating and experimental garden is $160,000.
