Representatives this evening, Mr. Barger made an important statement in relation to the 15th be it Pennsylvania Reserves. : Mea, he stated, entered the service of’ Penasyivani@ in May, three years ago, but saree Lene Seed the national eervig ; months after, and now. dissatis |, 80 much so, that Bes: ber of then ‘were under arrest, the men c! ig that their. term of service expired in May, the National Government contending that it extended until ‘aly. Mr. Barger read an extract of’a letter from Col. McCandless, commanding the division, relative to the dissatisfaction, and fearing the men would refuse to serve after May. Governor Curtin had urged that some action on the part of the Legislature be taken to in- duce the national Government to comply with the demands of the reserves. In accordance with this suggestion, Mr. Barger offered a res- olution which urgently solicited the President to discharge the reserves. Te add to the dissatisfaction of the men, it is stated that some of their comrades who had left and joined the regulars had already been discharged by order of the War Department, which allowed soldiers leaving the volunteers and. joining the regulars to count thejr three years from the date of their original enrollment, and not from the date ot actual muster into the national service, ‘The resolution was unanimously adopted.

In THE HOUSE— Mr. Dawes offered a resolution requesting the President to communicate to the House the letters, notes, telegrams, orders, &c., alluded to im his answer to a resolution of the House in- quiring whether Francis P. Blair, jr., held any comm an eg in the military service of the United States. Mr. Brooks offered an amendment which was read for information, namely: That the Presi- dent communicate to the House as soon as pos- sible all vouchers or depositions in his or the possession of the Treasury Departmtent, re- specting the fitting pp of @ bureauin theTreas- ury Department building for printing money, bonds or other obligations of the United States. Mr. Stevens thought it ought to be acted uyon Separately from the subject before the Honse. Mr Brooks asked him whether he would be enabled to do so? Mr. Stevens replied that he would agree to asking general consent. - . Mr. Schenck emphatically objected. Mr. Brooks expressed his surprise at the sen- sitiveness of the gentleman on the other side to his making afew remarks in support of his calling on the ident for information. Un- der our form of Governnfent we are entitled to information from the Executive which is not detrimental to the public interests. The infor mat.on called for by the resolution of the gen- tleman from Massachueetts is not detrimental to the public interests, bug likely to be of pub- lic good. We have not only the right to know what is going on in the Executive Department but aright toknow whatis going on in other Departments cf the Government. In Decem- ber or January last, after the close of the holi- days, he submitted some allegations connected with the Treasury Vepartment, which were disregarded by gentlemen on the other side. They had made no use of the testimony sub- mitted at this he had expressed his surprise. Mr. Creswell objected to the gentleman pro- ceeding wi hb his remarks. Mr. Brooks remarked that the gentleman might as well allow him to proceed now as at an: other time. He would go to that hig! Court of Appeals, the newspaper press, if the Republicans would not hear him speak of plundering and stealing of public treasure. Did pe gentleman make a point of order on that Mr. Creswell replied that he would make the point of public morals. The remarks of the gentieman were not applicable to the subject pending. - The Speaker said the gentleman trom New Yori was out of order. Mr. Rrooks remarked that the greater part ot to-day was occupied in discussing whether a certain quantity of liquor had been purchased, id for by somebody’s money. The broadest latitude of debate had been allowed respecting the member of the Oabinet, and yet when he approached another member of the Cabinet, the gentleman from Maryland objected as a matter of public morals. Ten years ago, while @ member of this House, he endeavored to save his Whig friends from infamy in connec- tion with the Galpin frauds, and in relation to which the Whigs were attacked by the Demo- crats. But now a general clamor was raised the very moment he approached the subject of the Treasury. Mr. Brooks offered another resolution, pre- ceded by a proambio, calling for the appoint- ment of a committee to examine into and re- port on the condition of the T: Depart- ment, and especially as to the Bureau wherein are A printed notes, bonds and other obligations of the United States, with power experts; and that the committee suggesi recommend such changes for facilitating busi- ness and the protection of the public interests as may be necessary. Mr. Garfield moved a substitute—that the Committee on the Conduct of the War inquire into the subject, and that the Hon. James Brooks be summoned to ee testimony as-to any or all frauds of which he has know! e in connection with the Treasury Departm: Mr. Brooks said he would accept that. Mr. Brooks aid millions of public money had been sacrificed in the bureaa of printing, and much evil juced by the conversion of the Treasury jiiding into a house of orgies and bacchanals. If the galleries were cleared so thar lan; could be uttered not fit for female ears. he could show every word hesaid was'more than true. The Speaker decided that Mr. Brooks was ont of 6rder, ald that he must take bis seat unless he appealed from the decision of the hair. x Mr. Brooks #8 id he had too much respect for the Chair to appeal. 3 Gonside Noniusion hereensued. Messrs. Schenck, Cox, Johnson and others on both sides were all talking at the same time, while the Speaker was hammering with his gavel to en- force ler. Mr. Schenck on one side of the halland Mr. Brooks on the other indulged in 4 hurried and brief colloquy, but owing to the confusion its purport wag not heard in the re- orter’s 2*!cry, further than Mr. Brooks said io Mr, Schenck, « This is not Baltimore, but the Capital of theUnited States.” Mr. Schenck’s Teply was not heard. Bie Speaker directed Messrs. Schenck and Brooks to take their respective seats, saying rd ae eet ieee gg so orde! all; let was res!
