Theyare TO BE REDEEMED IN OOIN: at the pleasure of the Government, at any period net less than ten nor morethan forty years from theif date, and until their redemption FIVE PER GENT. INTEREST WILL BE PAID 1N COIN, on Bonds of not over ené hundred dollars annually and on allother;Bonds semiannually. The in- terest is payable of the firstdays of March and September in each year. 4 Registered. Bonds are recorded on the Books of the United States Treasurér,and can be trans- ferred only pn the owner's order. . Coupon Bonds are payable! to bearer, and ate more: convenient for Commertial uses. fubécribers to this loan will have the option of having their Bonds draw interest fom March It, by paying the accrued interest in ¢oin—or in Uni- ted States notes, or the notesof National Banks. adding fifty per cent. for premfum,) or recei them drawing interest from the date of subscrip- tion and deposit. As these Bonds are exempt from municipal or State taxation, their value is increased from one to three per cent. per annum, according to the rate of tax levies in various parts of the country. At the present rate of premium on gold they pay over eight per cent. interestin currency, and are of equal convenience as a permanent or temporary investment. It is believed that no securities offer so great inducements to lenders as the various descrir- tious of U.S. Bonds, In all other forms of it- adebtodneas. the faith or ability of private parties or stéck eompanies or separate communities only is pledged for payment, while for the debts of the | United States the whole property of the country is holden to secure the payment of both principal and interest in coin. These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums from $00 up to any magnitude, on the same terms, and are thus made equally available to the smallest lender and the largest capitalist. They can be converted into money at any moment, and the holder will have the benefit of the interest. The fact that all duties on imports are payable in specie furnishes a fund for like payment of in- terest on all Government Bonds largely in excess of the wants of the treasury for this purpose. Instructions to the National Banks acting as lean agents were not issued from the United States Treasury until March 25, but in the first three weeks of April the subscriptions have averaged more than TEN MILLIONS A WEEK, Subscriptions will be received by the Treasurer of the United States at Washington, and the Assist ant Treasurers at New York, Boston, and Philadel. phi ,an by the FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF WASHINGTON, FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF BALTIMORE, FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF PHILADELPHIA, and by all National Banks which are depositaries of public money.

All the other amendments of the Committee were then agreed to, as in Committee of the Whole, and the bill reported to the Senate. Hovsg —Mr. Garfield introduced a preamble uoting the remarks heretofore made F. Py lair, Jr., to the effect that Secretary oe making use of the income from ** 4) aoneq lantations to carry out them” prasamne of the comeroy secret ciTcD'", and was against the Administ’2*\on that gaye him place; that no- body believes he has retired as a candidate for the Presidency, although he has said so in a letter, but is working underground and using his public position to promote his own political schemes, thus rnnning the Pomeroy machine. The preamble further quotes from the New York World and the Constitutional Union of this city, which papers contained articles charging frauds in the fractional currency, &c., and as the Hon. James Brooks has to-day reflected the substance of these articles. There- wre Resolved, That a committee of seven be ap- pointed by the Speaker of the House to investi- gate the trnth of the allegations above quoted, or of any other allégations affecting the int ty of the Treasury Depattment, and that they have the power to send for persons and papers. Mr. Garfield amended the resolution at the suggestion of Mr. Holman, so as toincrease the number of the committee to nine members. He ‘Was excused from serving on the committee, Mr. Stevens, of Penna., from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported back the Senate's amendments to the Army Appropriation Bill, raising the pay of the biack soldiers in all re- spects equal to the white soldier, excepting as to bounty—the bounty to the blagk not to ex- ceed a hundred dollars a month. Mr. Holman opposed the amendment, saying among other things, the two races are not equal either as citizens orsoldiers. Besides, theGuv- ernment was supporting the wives and chil- dren ot colored soldiers, while no effort was made to increase the pay of the white soldier. Mr. Eliot explained that the wives of colored soldiers were working for the Government, and as to the settlement at Arlington, he said the contrabands there were making money in excess of their support. Mr. Clay, of Kentucky, opposed the amend- ment, charging that negroes of Southern men were stolen to be put into the army. Mr. Holman protested against the attempt to place black men on anequality with white. Mr. Stevens, of Pa, advocated the amend- ment, contending for the h yeeace of the equality | of pay and eulogising the prowess of blac! soldiers. followed on the same side, r.

Seeraaae aa, VERDICT FoR THE DerENDANT.—The case of Michael Thompson against Thomas F. Bowie, ‘which has occupied the attention of the Crimi- nal Court for the past week, Ohiet Justice Cartter presiding, resulted this morning in a verdict for the defendant. The cause of action in this case was three promissory notes made by Bowie on the ist day of January, 1857, and payable to the order of Franets Steer, each for the sum of one thousand dollars, and indorsed in blank to Thompson. The handwriting of the maker and the payer of the notes was proved. The defense set up was that these notes were given for a gaming con- sideration, and obtained from the defendant while he was under the influence of liquor. To prove this, the defense was only able to introduce circumstantial evidence. They showed that on the fst of January, the date of the notes, the defendant had been to an entertainment and was considerably inebriated; that Steers was a professional gambler, and kept a gambling-house on Pennsylvania ave- nue, between 4% and 6th streets, and at that time was engaged in no other business but gambling, and had no pert . That the body of these notes was in the wri of John R. James, habitue of Steers’ establishment, and 4 professional gambler; that another note of the amount of $1,000 was obtained at the same time from Bowie, payable to the order of John Campbell, another professional gambler, and an employee of Steers; and that Bowie, while under the influence of liquor, and at no one ane had an uncontrollable propensity to ©The notes, with interest, now amount to 70. ba Court instracted the jury, at the request of the Paging as follows; if find the execution and endorse- read in evidence then the Tegat pa, HO} is that the holder thereof received the same t.fore maturity in good faith for a valuable consideration, reel thames den of proof is on the defendant to overcome auch legal Ff Speoge doe That absence of dirett evidence of the consideration of said noter, it is competent for the jury to find that the said notes were given for @ legal consideration between the arties, and the plaintiff as holder of said notes entitled to the beneft of the presumption of legality in the consideration of the notes in evidence. Granted with a modification on application of defendant by inserting the words “but are not bound” after the word ‘‘ competent.” And at the request of the defendant as fol- lows: If the jury shall believe, from the evidence, that the notes on which the plaintiff has de- clared against the defendant in this case were given for money won by gaming, or by betting on the sides orin the hands of such as did game, they shall find for the defendant, not- withstanding they shall further believe that the said plaintiff was not privy to the said gaming and paid a valuable consideration for the same. Granted. The jury in ten minutes rendered a verdict fer the defendant. Mr. R. J. Brent appeared for Col. Thomp- mond veiesers. W.S. Cox and T. L. Phillips for jowie. It is understood that the plaintiff will carry the case to the Supreme Ceurt on his bills of exception.

After diligent inquisy, we have not been able te learn that there has been any evidence whatever of insubordination. There were members of these imer:ts who argued that, as they had been enlisted for cavalry service, the vernment bad no right to use them as infantry troops. But this teeling is not at all widespread; and although we are not aware that any positive order has been issued compelling these men to serve as infantry, yet we are assured that the large majority of them—officers and men—are sufficiently patriotic to aid the Government in sis guty: or position to which they may be as- signed. Sees ery Monzy RecovereD.—Yesterday afternoon Davis McIntire who had been charged with robbing Mathew Briely of one hundred dollars for which he had been arrested and held to bail for court, went to Sergt.
