The developments thus far are of such an astounding character as to make it impossible for the committee to teil where they will stop in their investigatiens, there seeming to be no end to the frauds per- petrated. The committee have already com> to the conclusion that either the tax on whisky must be reduced to fifty cents per gailon, or that the man.er of collecting the tax must be radically changed. Tne former is regarded as the most efficient mode of arresting the evil.

Hover.—The Speaker stated that under the rule adopted yesterday no business could be waneacted, but that there should be nothing but debate, as 1n Committee of the Whole. Mr. Spalding (O.) was assigned the floor, and commenced his speech by an all jon to the remarks uttered by him somedays agorelative to certain remarks attributed to him in the Chronicle. For these remarks he was subjected, as was always the case, to the caustic re- marks ef the gentieman from Penusylvania, (Mr. Stevens.) Mr. Spalding then read Mr. Stevens’ remarks Upon the occasion, wherein he (Stevens) stated that the doctrines set forth in Mr. Spaiding's resolution of inquiry was most pernicious. The resolution simply directed the Committee on the Judiciary to inquire inte the expedi- ency of doing 4 certain thing. He (Mr. Spal- ding) desired to be perfectly understeod, and would again say that he would require from the South guarantees other than the adoption of the Constitutionat amendment. His under- standing of the amendment was, that it was to be taken as a measure of conciliation between the North and South. No one could claim that the Southern States were entitled to Tepresent- stion while the war lasted, and they were not entitled to it now. He would also have all the States South acopt the amendment. Mr. Kelley (Ps.,) interrapting Mr. ing, said he bad received letters from aentie- men ip North and South Carolina who had served im the Confederate army, and who said they could not themselves pass the constita- tional amendment, but that the: would ac- q oe if the Northern ‘gislatures 0} 3 .

Vessels of every description are delayed in the differen ports and the coast fishery works are suspended. The frost continues, and there is very good tating on the lakes and the Ser- pentine. In London the streets are at this mo- ment choked with snow. No efforts are being made to remove it. although there are thou- sands of able-bodied men unemployed and anxious to obtain work, who could be had at short notice by the authorities. Business is impeded very much in the city. Locomotion is accordinely difficult, there being few omni buses or cabs on the stands or plying. The are no sleigbs.

Boston, Jan. 5.—The liquor dealers and leading botel proprietors of this city held a secret meeting yesterday, to hear the report of their counsel, George Sennett, who is conduct- ing the iest cases before the Supreme Uour: at Washington. The report is said to have been very satisfactory to the association, as indi- cating its ultimate triumph over the supporters of the prohibitory law A prominent hotel keeper made a proposition to shut up all the leading hotels in the city, in case the proscrip- tive course is ineisted upon by the authorities. This proposal met with marked favor, but was not finally acted upon. If carried out, the roject will cause a sensation. Applieations have been made & second time for warrants against Harvey D. Parker, proprietor of the Parker louse; William Bingham, of the Revere and Tremont Houses; and George Young, ot Young’s Hotel, for xeeping liquor nuisances. Calvin A. Kichards, pro- hare} of a well-known wholesa! was ij cluded in the list. Judge Hord, of the muni- cipal ceurt, refused to grant the warrant, holding that the places named are not nuisan- ces within the meaning of the law, although Judge Chamberlain, of the same court, has al- ready decided differently.
