A SAFETY OF BONDS. Mr. Hoar made an argument, before the Bank- ingapd Currency Committee-in favor Of his _bi.fi to provide for the safety of the bonds of the Tnited States. The bill-is for the purpose of protecting the owners' of bonds from loss by theft, or fire, or other causes, by suthorizing the Secretary_of the Treasnry to designate as many National Bauks-throughost the country as may be necessary, who may bold’ in trust for the owners bonds of the UnitedStates, giving the necessary certificate of deposit. - - & .

Wheeler Hubbell, who is the inventor of 2 certain percussion cap and explosive fuse used by the Government during the war. Hubbell srgued bis own claim.. hag slready been paid by the Government, but claims a royalty amounting to $200,000. The Committes last sesaion offered to roporta bil giving him $60,- 009, but he refased it, : THE ILLINOIS 2 PER CENT CLATM. After the Credit Mobilier business had been disposed of, the bill -to-pay the old claims of Ohio, Indiana, and linois, ‘or 2 per cent of the receipts of zll public lknds. sold ywithin théir borders, came wup as special or- der, and- crowded ont the Deficiency and Appropriation bill, grestly to - the dissppoiniment, of & throrg of District of Columbia’ politicians, who crowded the lobbies ‘to push through the Sppropristion for the Boxd of Public Works. This 2 per cent.claim is -very old end very intricate. Few mem- bers understand . it,. and. few appeared to want to, for as soon 88 the title of the bill was read there was & general stam- -pede for hats and overcoats, and scarcely a quo- rum remsined. Briefly stated, the claim is based on the failure of Congress to expend the amount for internal improvements within those States sgreed on in their Efnbling pcts. In the case of Ohio, Congress pmn'deg that 5 per cent of the proceeds of all public land sold should be devoted to internal improvements, 8 per cent of which shonld be cxpended by -the Btate, and 2 per cent by the General Government to com- plete the national road through the State. The Tosd mever. was completed, and most of the ‘money derived from the land sales was spent, or 8 portion of it, in Maryland, Virginia, Sy Pennc sy¥lvania. — The Indiana Ensbling act provided that 2 per cent of the land sales should be expended by the General Government for the construction of rosds leading to the State, and that 3 percent ehould be paid to the Stats, - Tllinois was given 8 per cent for edneational _purposes, and Congress agreed to spend 2 per -cent forroeds in the State. - In neither case was the obligation of the Government fulfilled. In 1836 the policy was changed, and the States sub- sequently admitted were gnaranteed the whole 5 per cent, to expend as they chose. It is claimed that, under an act passed in_ 1859, making good to ~Mississippi the ' value of - 2 . per cent of her public Jands, Ohio, Iundiaua, and Tlinois “are entitled to recover, but the law has never been carried out. The claim of the three States amounts to a little over £1,300,000, divided nearly equally between them. After twohours’ debate, the bill went over without s vote. A pretty- strong case was made ott in favor of the justice -of the claim, and it is probable that the House will pass the bill to-morrow. POSTAL TELEGRAPH. . The Honse Committee on Appropriations held « session this evening for the purpose of giving 8 bearing to the President’s of the various tele- graph companies, on the subject of the postal folegraph. The remarks of Wm. Orton were especi:Sly sevére on this project. He evinced considerable Dbitterness against Postmaster Genaral Creswell, and denounced the Hubbard plan of leasiug with guthority to new corpora- fions. Ho csked permission to file a statement, now in course of proparation by D. A. Wells, a8 to the rolative cost of workinig' telegraph lines, which _was anted; and demande that the subject be disposed of &b this session, as it would otherwise interfere with the business arrangements of. his Company. All the representatives of the telegraph companics edmitied that, under tho law of 1866, the Gov- ernment a right to _sppoint arbitrators _ to &ppraise the value of telegraph lines and - take possession of them at their appraised value, The Postmaster Genernl being present, Tepliod especially to Mr. Orton, with great feeling, He charged tho lat- ter with purposely withholding material facts on this subject for the purpose of creating a mis- understanding in the country, and objected to any farther statement from Mr. Orton relative to the use of military telegraph lines, and the receipts of tho companies, unless the zame be given under oath. Mr. Wells’ statement will bo_filed to-morrow, after which sessions will be held to give hear- ings to delegates representing the Hubbard Bcggme‘ It ia not expected that the Committee will be prepared to report until late in - the ses- sion. - THE NEW SECBETARY T THE GERMAN LrcaTrox.

Ho utterly denied the statement, and resented the idea of his attempting to influence the Democratic mem- bers _for a bribe of fifty shareés of Credit AMobilier stock roprosenting < 84,000. He did mop recollect thet Lo ever " epoko to & Domocratic member on the subject of the Union Pacific Road. 3’Comb was a man of mo character, & mero reckless, audacious ad- Yenturer, who was shown by the Tecords of the military commission, now on file in the War Departmont, to be 2 robber and bandit; and also shown by the record of the House Investi~ gating Committee on Louisiana Affairs, last summer, to have been engaged in bribing in order to get Lold of the New. Orleans and Jack- son Railrond. He (Brooks), had never been of- ferod directly or indirectly & single share of Credit Mobilier stocl, despite the testimony of the perjurer, A'Comb. The wholo thing was a fiction,. & figment of McComb's’ villanous imagination. His son-in-law, he understood, had bought fifty ehares of Credit Mobilier, pay- ing for it 95,333 and it was out of that perhaps, that M’Comb ma de up the whols story about the forty shares being given him (Brooks) to buy up the whole® Democratic side of the House. In conclusion he appealed to the Committee of Tovestigation to search his conduct-from begin- ning to the end; to riddle him from top to bot- tom, and if they found any fault in him to re: port it to the House and to disgrace him, Desnltory discussion took place. relative to enlarging tho scope of the investigation, snd s to sitting with opon doors, but no action ‘Wwas taken. : g 3 L 4 SANDY HOOK.
