Wasmnarox, D. O., June 11,—Strango na it may seem, thero is an impression among many Congressmen, ot whom Maynard is on, that, aftor all, the President will approve the bill recommended by the Currency Conference Com- mitteo. A groat many say that the Jones memo- randum can be, by o violent effort, conatrued to indicato a purpose to voto any monsure short of ono covering his particular viows, but they do not understand that it clenrly and definitely de- clares any such purpose. A great many will vote for tho adoption of the Committeo’s roport who would not do 8o if thoy bolioved that tho President would voto tho bill. The truth is, and the statemont rosis upon the highest authority, no such mensure as that now peuding in tho Bouato will reseivo Grant's approval, Ho i thoroughly convinced that apeelodmymnnl can bo resumed during his Adminiatration, and that be can bring nhmlg the resumption.

Special Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, ‘WasmsaroN, D. O, Juno 11.~The Distriet Tnvestigating Committeo have not yot prepared tholr roport in full, but will probably have it rondy by Baturday, or Mondsy ab tho farthest. Tho bill which was prosonted on Tuosday lnat for & now form of govornment for the District, and recommittod, has not yot been perfected, but will bo in time to roport back whon the. full re- port is made. Reprosentatives Wilson and Bass bave beon busily engaged in ovorhauling it, and will roport » number of smondments. When tho bill was roported tho District papors attacked it florcoly, and pointed out several defocts, and tho slrewd authors of the Dbill have takon advantage of the criticiem to perfact tho bill, One point raised by Shepherd’s paper was thnt tho section providing for taxa- tion omitted to provide for enforcing paymont of toxes, but left it n[moufil with property-bolders to pay or not. When tho bill is reported back it will be found that the origivators of the bill Davo incorporated this aud soveral othor good suggostions into s bill which waa hastily drawn and submitted in its crudo shapo, only that an ordor mightbo obtnlned permitting the Com- mittes to report back at auy time aftor recom- mitting.

Alllson did not show the lottor till Monday afterncon, whou it had been printed in the evening paper, to which, as to tho othors, copies had beon fur- nished by the Goveruor, It is claimed to-dny tunt tho proposed bill cannot pass tho Houso, ond that the supportors of tho District Goveru- mont havo s mujority against it.

The theory of tho bill, said Mr. Morton, is that a b por cont bond, which will, by the 1t of January, 1878, Do ot par in coln, aud that United Statos totos, Dbelng convertiblo to them, will nleo be nt pars that menntime United States notes will grad- unlly apprecinto from their presont discount to par, and that this _approciation bo gentlo and alow, not oxcecding 8% por cent por annum, so that specio payments may bo brought about withous oppresinon to tho debtor cluss, and tho disarrangemont of the business of tho country. Should the theory of the bill not be realized, Congross will bo” in_session.whon tho timo ar- rives for tho conversion of notes into bonds, and can by legislation reliove the country or bauke from any contraction, derangomont, "or evil ro- sulting from this ennctmont. ~'Lhis bill has been propared in o epirit of compromise, having in viow tho expsusion of the currency as mny bo nocessary to moot tho domands of “tho cotntry, and ot tho wame time bring.tho eurrency by n gradual process up to_par value. Ar. SUERMAN said ho thought tho bill a fair compromise. Both Housos of Congress desired s erndual approach to n specie standard, aud this Dilt wonld rocurqthat ond. Mr, BOUTWIELL said he desived to ask the Senator from Ohio aund the Commitieo what knowledgo thoy had of the condition of affairs which would exist in 1878, which would justify this_atop to specie payment, & stop which they would not daro to take now, Tho SHeuato was asked to do a thing throo years honco whicl it did not dare to do now, aud who knew what tho condition of afairs would be then? Mr. SHERMAN said the Senator from Masen-~ chusotts disclosod his opiniou that the country could not return to speclo paymont in 1878, Ho (8tiorman) belioved tho Unitod States of Amerl- ¢en had the power aud ability to redeem ita notes in two yoars from this time. Messrs, MORRILL (Vt.) and FRELINGHUY- BLEN said thoy could not voto for tho report.
