C., May 6.~The bill reported to-dny by tho Bounato Fiunuce Committee recolvad thesupport of all the membors of the Committos excopt Ferry, of Michigan, aud Wright, of Iown. Thoeo two gontlomen gave notice of thoir inten- tion to move amondments in tho Sonate. Whilo they aid nnt indieato exactly what those amend- monts would bo, it i protty well scttled that they will bo dircoted to the two redemption sec- tions of tho bill on tho section providing for the redemption of greanbacks coincidont with tho is- 8uo of new bank currency. ‘T'ho intlntionisty will doubtloss MAKE A MARD FIORT. £ Thoy know that if tho bill passes without that provision tho Presidont will volo it, and, failing to got boundloss expansion, they rotuse to take anything loss. 1t s impossible at this timo to predict what the fate of the bill will be. Tne rooponing and renowed discussion of the quas- tion will ve the signal for much groater oarnest- noss and oxcitement than attended the financial struggle just ended. BENATOR BHERMAN FELLS RATHER CONFIDENT of the passage of the measure in the Bonate, his chiof fenr being that tho efforts to amend may be successfal. it pussos in the Sonato without amondmont, tho Honator thinks it will be adopted in tho House without altoration. A vory few modorate inflationists will advocato 25 por cont, inatead of 60 per cont, greonback- redemption bill. This would kil the bill just as effeativoly os a wlpinF out of tho ontire soction, as it is believed on all hands that the T'resident will insist on 60 per cent. - 5 (7o ‘the Awnoriated Press.)

Five or aix wit~ uesgos were oxaminod on bebalf of the derense, but theip testimony was unimportant and poins- less. Tor the ovident g TURPOBE OF CREATING BYMPATHY, Gov. Shephord had poor old Gen. Francis P, Blair brought mnto town to testify as to the tm= l)rovemene of tho Boventh streot turnpike, but he aged voterau waa so fatigued by his long ride that he'conld not make limself understvod to tho Committee.- That bis intlnouce might not bo . wholly lost 1o the. Governor, the connsel for the memorialists - ugreed to allow the testimony given by Gen. Blair on the same subject, before a provious investigating committeo, 10 go upon the record as his present sentiment. With this understanding, ihe old gentloman was gently dtamissed by tho Chnr- man, Kirtland, who was underatood to_have quit the civy Jast evening, was theu called’in, FOLLOWING HIM UP. The Committee, it appears, -had obtalned an inkling of auother of that mysterious individu- al's transactions in- connection with the Wash- ington pavement contract, and had takon the precaution to prevent- his escape wuntil thoy should have one more whack at hin, ‘When ho had been produced by the Sergeant- at-Arms this evening, the Chairman. hogan rending, from a 'Lronton, N, J., newspaper, the publisbed statement of a firm -of contraotors, named O’Conner & Shauley, This firm wat forth that Kirtland offered to procuro for’ them an award of 200,000 yards of pavement in Wash: Ington, at 38,60 a_yard, tho excavation to be dono by the Board of Public Works.
