He thinks that one step in this direction would result from a full and free conference between leading Northern men and leading Southern men now in the city. He Suggests that the persons to whom his note is addressed inyitea call from Governor Parsons among others. @7 By the steamer Germania, with Liver- pool Gates to the 7th imstant, we learn that the London Times endorses President Johnson's Veto of the Freedmen’s Bureau bill, and his Action on this subject confirms the respect in which his policy has been held in England, and will entitle him to credit as one of the Ablest statesmen. rt @7 From the publishers, Ticknor & Fields, and from Jos.

THE LOAN BILL, Interest at the Capitol to-day centered at the House end, where a smart discussion upon the question of the reconsideration of the Loan bill ended in the motion to reconsider prevail- ing by a vote of Sito 67. The speech of Mr. Boutwell, of Mass., against the bill, and of Mr, Garfield, of Ohio, in favor of the bill, were each quite effective, and attracted the mem- bers to the vicinity of their seats. A motion for the previous question upon the passagejof the bill was lost by a vote of 64to%0. As we go to press it seems probable that the bill will be recommitted. 4:55 p. m.—The House has just voted to re- commit the bill by a decided majority. MB. HOOPER’S BILL. Mr. Hooper this morning introduced the tol- lowing bjll, which was referred to the Ways and Means Committee, viz: “That the act of March 3, 1865, entitled ‘an act to provide ways and means to support the Government’ shall be extended and constraed to empower the Secretary of the Treasury to sell any description of bonds authorized by said act atsuch rates, not less than par, as he may think advisable for lawful money of the United States, or to receive im payment any Treasury notes, compound interest notes, certificates of indebtedness or deposit, with the interest accrued thereon, which haye been, or which may be issued, under any act of Congress; and it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to retire cud cancel an amount of Treasury notes, certificates of indebteduess, or other obliza- tions bearing imterest equal in amount to the bonds disposed of; and the public debt shall not hereafter be increased by authority of this or any previous acts of Congress; and from and aiter the first day of July next, the interest on certificates of deposit for temporary loans shall not not exceed the annual rate of five per centum. PROGRESS OF THE CHOLERA. The United States Consul at La Rochelle, France, in his dispatches to the Department of Siate, dated February 20th, recommends that a rigid quarantine be enforced against all ves- seis from the ports of Caen, Brest, La Rochelle, and Berdeanx. He says the Cholera appears to be moving along the Western coast of France, and is now atthe Sables d’Oloune. From present appear- ances he thinks it eh od along the coast through La Rochelle and Bordeaux into Spain. The Consul at Canes, Lsies of Greece, uay- ing had considerable experience in connection with the cholera, es to the Government several suggestions for the improvement of quarantine. Herecommends that vessels take on board at the port of departure, health offi- cers, sworn by and responsible to our anthori- ties, and chosen With the approval of our Con- lat euch port of departure, on whose report that nosymptom of cholera had manifested it- selton board during the voyage, the vessel might be admitted to pratiqe. The time occu- pied in the voyage to be counted as part of the quarantine. DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZE MONEY. The following additional prizes are now ready for payment at the office of the Fourth Auditor of the Treasury, and will be taken up and paid in the following order: The prizes Stag and Charlotte, captured by the United States steamers Maratanza, Wil- derness, Nansemond, Pickét Launch No. 6, A. D. Vanee and Monticelio; the prize Julia, cap- tured by the United States steamer ‘Vioga; the prize Cornubia, captured by the United States steamers Daylight, Niphon and James Adger: the prize David Crockett, capturea by the United States steamers American Flag, Canan- daigua and Flambeau. Business in the prize money division of this office has been eyreieena 4 retarded by reason of & report called for by the House Nayal Com- mittee, upon which nearly the whole force of the office has been en; for the past month. This report is now so far completed as to allow the current business to resume its wonted channel. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. The Department of State has received dis- patches from our Consul at Todasco, Mexico, dated January 3, 1966, in which he communi- cates the discovery of the ruins of two ancient cities, Which have remained unknown since the days of the conquest. The first, he says, from its topography and situation, he is led to believe, is the one occupied by Cortez at the time of his invasion of Tobasco, and is situated about fifteen miles to the west of Frontera, a town atthe mouth of the Tobasco or Grijoloa river. The other is situated in the north- eastern portion of the State, nearly opposite the present city of Laguna de los Terminos, and was known before the conquest as Yico- lonea, The traditions connected with it trace its origin to @ period at least two hundred years before the Christian era.

Our Consul at Amsierdam writes to the Be- partment of State, under date of February 20th, that the cattle plague is still spreading, and it is feared will infect the whole country. The farmers are so much opposed to the killing of infected cattle that, in some instances, the mil- itary had to be employed to enforce obedience to the law. One mode of treatment is recommended as promising to be a successful cure, which 1s to rub the skin of the infectéd animal vigorously, then to cover the animal with clothes dippe: in cold water, over which dry cloths are spread. Out of twenty-two cases treated in this man- ner only one was lost. NEW OUBBENOY BILL. Mr. Kelley, of Pa., this morning introduced & bill in the House relating to the currency of the United States, which authorizes and di- rects the Secretary of the Treasury to pay the principal and interest of all compound interes; notes, when due, with legal tender notes not bearing interest, and empowers the Secretary of the Treasury to issue legal tender notes for paying the interest and for the redemption of the same. The bill was referred to the Com- mittee on Ways and Means. THE ARLINGTON ESTATE. ‘The freed people who formerly belonged to G. W.P. Custis have petitioned Congress, set- ting forth that under his will they were to re- ceive a comfortable subsistence during life, and that they are now destitute. They conse- quently ask that they and their children—some fifty all told—may respectively receive ten acres of the Arlington estate.

Bishor McG1L1, of Richmond, preached yesterday at St. Matthew's Church, and in the course of his remarks alluded im deprecating terms to the Fenian movement, XXXIXTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION. Mowrvay, March 19. Mr. Sumnér presented the petition of citizens of New York, earnestiy asking that no State that rebelled shall be admitted as a governing er into the Union. without adequate se- iso, the petition of citi- ly, Pa, asking for an amendment to the Constitution, prohibiting any State from making distinctions in civil rights amongst the naturalized citizens of the United States, or Among Any persons bora on American soil, on account of race or color. Re- ferred to the Committee on Reconstruction. Mr. Sumner presented two petitions in fayor of an international copyright law, which was referred to the Committee on Foreiga Rela- tions. Mr. Wade presented a petition from Ohio Wool growers, asking for an increased duty en imported wool; which was referred to the Com- mittee on Finance. Mr. Wilson presented a petition to increase the pay of army officers; which was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. Mr. Wilson presented the petition of several colored men, who represent that they were once the slayes of George W. P. Custis, who, in his will, freed them, and provided for their support from the property left by him. They ask that a portion of the Arlington estate be setapart for their benefit. The petition was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Mr. Wilson, from the Military Commities, Teported the bill to establish a home for totally tisabled soldiers and sailors of the United States, with a recommendation that certain House amendments be concurred in. The amendments strike ont the provisions with re- gard to seamen, and make it applicable only to soldiers. The House amendments were con- curred in, and the bill now goes to the Presi- dent for his signature. Mr. Fessenden rose to a personal explana- nation. He found in the National Intelligencer of the 17th instant a letter from Wm. A. Gra- aclaimant for aseatin the Senace from h Carolina. in reply to his (Fessenden’s) remarks of a few days ago concerning the na- ture of the investigations carried on by the Committee of Fifteen. This letter of Mr. Gra- ham’s was intended to convey the impression that the investigations were not important. Mr. Graham had writtyn to him (Fessenden) making two requests—one that witnesses sug- gested by him (Graham) should be examined, and another that the Representatives and Sen- ators from these Siates Le allowed to be pres- entto eross-exnmine the witnesses. The last request was noi complied with, becruse it was not customary in cases of investigation by a committee, and because the proceedings of the committee were not in the nature of a criminal investigation. where cross-examinations were necessary. He (Mr. Fessenden) did not regard the Intely rebeliious States in the light of criminals on trial, nor was he acting in the capacity of prosecutor. And this error ot Mr Graham’s was his belief that the testimony had closed becanse it had been ordered to be printed It had not closed, except in the case of Ten- messee. In the case of North Carolina no testi- mony had yet been printed, it all being in the bands of Howard, of Michigan, now absent on account of domestic affliction. Mr. Davis, in reply to Mr. Fessenden, adyo- cated the right of the claimants for seats as southern Senators and Representatives to be present and cross-examine witnesses. Mr. Davis proceeded to read Mr. Graham's statement in the /»telligencer. Having read for half an hour he was called to order by Mr. Chandler, who insisted that there was nO question before the Senate. Mr. Fessenden said he had yielded to Mr. Davis for him to read Mr. Graham's letter, but it was evident now that he was reading the editorials and news columns of the paper. Mr. Davis said be was reading an explana- tion of the case by Major Lawrence. At the eonclusion of Mr. Da’ reading, Mr. Fessenden rose to say that if Mr. Graham de- sired to introduce further testimony in the case of North Carolina, he could do so. Mr. Wilson presented a bill to equalize the bounties of soldiers in the late war. It gives a bounty of eight and a third dollars per month to ali soldiers, deducting all bounties hereto- fore paid, and excludes from the benefits of the act all deserters and all men discharged at theirown request from the service. Ke- ferred to the Military Committee. Hovse.—The House was called upon for bills and resolutions. Mr. Dawson, of Pennsylvania, introdaced resolutions declaring that the United States cannot guaranty the bonds of Mexico or any other nation. and endorsing Mr. Jefferson's principle of avoiding “entangling alliances.” The Honse having refused to seconda de- mand for the previous question. the resolution went over under the rule, Mr. Ancona,fot Penneylvania, offered a joint Tesolntion providing for an adjournment of Congress, to be arranged by the presiding offi- cers of the two houses for —— day of May, 1966. The resolution was agreed to. Mr. Cullom, of I11., ofered a joint resolution making an amendment to the Constitution which provides that no person except a citizen of the United States. who has at all times borne trne allegiance thereto, shall ever hold office under the United States. The resolution was referred to the Reconstruction Committee. Several other bills and resolutiens were pre- sented and referred, and the morning heur having = the motion of Mr. Beaman, of Mich., to lay onthe table the motion of Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, to reconsider the yote by wi.ch the loan bill was rejected on Friday night, came up as unfinished business. As the vote on this motion was generally ex- pected to involve the fate of the loan bill, the callof the yeas and nays was attended with considerable interest. At the conclusion of the roll call, the result was announced as follows: Yeas, 70; nays, 78. a So the House refused to lay on the table the motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill WaAs rejected. Mesers. Broomall, of Penna, and Boutwell, of Mass., addressed the House in opposition to the bill, and Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, the mover ef the resolution to reconsider, followed in some remarks in favor of the bill. The vote was then taken on the motion to re- consider the bill, and at 25 minutes after two o'clock the result was announced as follows: Yeas, 81; nays, 67. So the House decided to reconsider the vote rejecting the bill. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. eipameeints New York Bank Statement.
