The ordinance maps of irelied have been carefully studied, and the various prcpextes have been divided—on paper—to ead centres and others, except those portions which were supposed to be reserved for the necessities of the Irish republic. It isnot im- probable that agents bave been sent to Ireland acquainted with the different localities, and that the bonds entrusted to each are prepared for the district in which he is to carry on his scheme. The object is to extract m the small farmer as mach money as possible, un- cer the idea that after the “rising” takes place he will be the owner of that portion of the landlord's estate to which the bond refers.

Hovsr.— Yesterday after our report closed— The bill to reimburee the State of Penusylva- nja for moneys advanced for war purposes was passed, 86 to 35. Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported the bill wo amend an actentitied “An act to provide ways and means to support the Government.” approved March 3, 1565, (better known as the Luan bill.) with a sndments. The amended bill reported by the committee read as follows (the amendments proposed by the committee being printed in italics :) Be it enacied, dc, That the act entitled * Anactto provide ways and means tw sup- port the Government,” approved Mareh 3, i€65, shall be extended and construed toauthor- ize the Secretary of the Treasury, at his discre- thon, to receive any Treasury notes or other obligations, issued under any act of Congress, whether bearing interest or not, in exchange for any ee of bonds authorized by the act to which this is an amendment; aud, also, to dispore of any description of bonds author- ized by saia act, either in such manner and at such rates as he may think advisable, for law- ful money of the United States or for any Treasury notes, certificates of indebtedness, or certificates of deposit, or other representatives of vaiue, which have been or which may be issued under any act of Congress, the proceeds thereof to be used only for retiring Treasury notes or other obligations issned under any act of Congress; but nothing herein contained shall be constrned to authorize any increase of the public debt: Provided, That of the United States notes, not more than ten millions may be retired and cancelled within siz months from the pastage of this act, and thereafter not more than four millions inany one month. “And provided further, That the act to which this isan amendment shai! con- tinue in fali force in all its provisions, except Bs modified by this act. Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the Sec- retary of the Treasury report to Congress, at the commencement of the next session, the amount exchanges made and the money borrowed under thts act, and of whom and on what terms, and the char- acter of the indebtedness retired under this acl and the act to which this isan amendment, ade= tailed statement of the expenses of maicing such loan or exchanges. Mr. Morrill briefly advocated the bill as amended by the con ee, And in that con- ‘ion sent to the Clerk's desk the following letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, which was read: ~ TREASURY DEPARTMENT, March 23, 1566, Drak Sin: Your fayor of the 22d ‘nstant is rece) yed, transmitting to me the following res- olution, namely: Resolved, That & communication be ad- dressed by this committee to the Secretary of the Treasury, ing that the committce has received, through one of its members, informa- tion that the Secretary is of the opinion that he is, without further legislation, sufficiently armed with power to carry ont the policy an- nounced in his late annual report, and to Teqnest the Secretary to inform the committee whether such is his opinion.” In reply, I have to say that I must have failed to make myself clearly understood by the honorable member of the committee to whom reference is made. I did not intend to say to him that the Secretary is, “without fur- ther legislation, sufficiently armed with power to carry out the poliey announced in his late annual report,’ but I did intend to say to him that if it should be found necessary to modify, in any important particulars, the provisions of the bill reported by the committee, I should refer that it would not become a law. It will , in my opinion, a national calamity if Con- gress shall fail to grant additional powers to the Secretary, for it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to find the interest-bearing notes under existing laws, but I do not desire that the committee or myself should become in any ‘way responsible for a taw that is likely to fail in Se its object. 3 re; ita matter of the F sbinr es import- ance that the power of the retary should not be strictly defined. It, for example, the Secretary should be prohibited from selling bonds below par, it wouid be easy, as the mar- ket, in the process of funding, must be liberally supplied, for the enemies of the Government to form successful combinations for keeping the bonds at such a price as would prevent the ne- gotiation of them. On the other hand, if the authority of the Secretary in this respect is not limited, no such combinations would be likely to be formed. In my opinion, the best way of Keeping the bonds at a premium will be to leave the Secretary unrestricted in the sale of them. Againstan undefined power it weuld be difficult to form successful combinations. A limitation of the authority of the Secretary in this respeet would be very likely to prevent funding. I do not, therefore, fayor such a lim- itation, and regret to have the committee re- sponsible for it. e In regard to the other important feature of the bill—the authority to withdraw United States notes—I haye merely to remark that I conceive it to be ef great importance to the pro- gress of the country, the welfare of the people, and the credit of the nation, that such a finan- cial policy should be adopted by this as will prepare the way for areturn to specie payment. Vhen this can be brought about will depend uw the condition of national in- dustry and e trade relations between the United States ana foreign nations. It is not desirable that specie payment should be re- stored until that restoration can be made per- manent by increased industry and ajproper ad. justment of the trade with Europe. The ten- dencies now are all in the right direction, and if they shall be adjusted by judicious legisla- tion I shall be hopeful that the currency of the country may be brought up to the speciestand- ard without a large reduction of it. The ap. prehension which exists that if powers are given to the Secretary to retire United States notes the circulation of the country will be ruinously contracted is without any substan- tial foundation. If no reliance can be placed upon the discretion and carefulness of the Sec- retary, the very condition of the finances of the country will prevent sucha reduction of the currency as will make either a tight money market or depress business. Authority to re- duce the currency will go very far w preveat the necessity for a reduction. The battle will be more than half fought when the Govern- ment shall adopt a healthy financial policy. iam, very truly, your obedient servant, H. McOv oc, Secretary ofthe Treasury Hon. Justin S. Morrill, Ohairman Commit- nen Ways and Means, House of Representa- ves. Mr. Morrill said that the bill as now reported limited the amount and period for funding the jegal tenders. so that it would take the Secreta- Ty of the Treasury 9 years to fund all the legal tenders in circulation.

A man named Michael Burns—who is a hard-working, in- dustrious fellow, a blacksmith by trade—has for some time suspected his wife of being un- faithful to her marriage vewe, anc he awaited occular proof. Burns is in the babit of work- ing evenings, and on Monday his wife went where he was employed and aeked bim if be intended coming home to Te pe which was not his custom when be wi evenings. He told his wife he would not be bome, and she departed. Burns, however, did go home about seven o'clock, and in front of his house, on the sidewalk, was his little daughter, five years of age, who informed bim that a man named Frank — (® fellow who had been in the army and was &hatitue of oe court) was in a room with her mother. To the room the father proceeded, ~~ taking with bim an Ax standing in the doorway. He saw sufficient to satisfy him of the unfaithfalness of his wife, and rushed into the room, striking with the ax at her paramour. The weapon slipped from his grasp, and he instantly caught up from a table standing near a case knife, with which he made sev: lunges at Quin. Burns says neither of the blows took effect, but the outside report is that the biade of the knife entered Quin’s shoulder near the neck, Ss quite A wound. Quin then fied. Burns up- braided his wife in the strongest terms, and told her to Jeaye him aud make her way through the world the best way she could. The little girl was taken by her father to the orphan asylum, where he made provision for her pport, and then he went to his workshop ron the entire night in greai yezatior of spirit.
