IN THE QUARTERMAS TER’S DEPARTMENT. Dr. J. M. Brodheaa, Second Comptroller of the Treasury, yesterday transmitted the fol- jeowing communication to General Tompkins, mM answer to inquiries from him as to who of the employees in the (.uartermaster’s Depart- ment should receive the twenty per cent. in- crense authorized by the late act of Congress: “Im reply to yours of yesterday’s date, 1 bave to say that, aftera conference with the First Comptroller, it is the decision of both officers that none of the employees named by ou, except clerks, messengers, watchmen, and horers employed in the rtermster's offices, are entitled to the additional twenty per The committee representing the Quarter- master’s Department were assured by mem- bers of Congress that the employees declarad exempt by the Comptroller were included in the billasit passed It is to be hoped that the present Congress will pass a supplementary act in their favor, if it 1s necessary, as it seems unjust to deprive the hard-worki: g Superin- tendents, agents, mechani-s, laborers, &c., in the Quartermaster’s Department, who happen to be employed outside of the office, from an allowance granted to those so fortunate as to Work indoors. There is neither justice nor bamanity im such discrimination. The out- door men are as hardiy worked, a3 poorly Paid, and as deserving as the others, and re- quire more food and clothing,on account o’ the mature of their duties. Let all Rave a fair chance to share the benefit of the « twenty per cent.” ‘THE COMMISSIONBR OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS Yesterday, Col. B.B.

SewaTse.—Mr. Grimes moved that the Senate take @ recess at5 o'clock until 7% o'clock. Mr. Sumner could see mo mecessity for this, erpeciaily St this early stage of the seasion. Mr. Trumbail said the neceesity was to pass tbe supplementary bill. Mr. seomipat Bg & vote could be reached befere five o'clock. Mr. Trumbull eaid if that chould be dons, the recess need not be taken Mr. Conners wished to stay bere untii the it took all night. The country was ao for Congress to setle up the wort of reconstruction and go bome. but there was ap evident disposition on tne part o1seome hee gate to dely opm onthe a 80 as to protract the session as long as possibie. ‘Mr Drake would tike the Senator to specity thoee Senators who he said were sodesirous to pretract the session. Mr. Conners said if the Senator intended to | peta kink on his hat, in the expectation that somebody would knock it off, be would find at rather disagreeable. He (Mr. ©.) had tne Tight to make the remark which he had. Mr. Drake said he euppored the Senator might have referred to him, as he had occu pied the attention of the Senate most of the time yeeterday. He caw no necessity for this baste to getaway. and did not know why the 36th Congress bad cailed this Congrese to- ecther if they were only to stay here fur a few days, ‘om Missouri ample time to giv Senate the benefit of his advice and experience at future sessions The question was ther taken on the motion to take @ recess, when it was agreed to; Mr. Somner in the negative. Mr. Morgan introduced a bill to farther amend the act to preventand punish crimes againet the United dtate: rred to Com- » the Secretaries of of the Treasury were instructed to pol the Senate the disposition of the ex- ores of Consular fees received by taeir Depart. mente, and whether any consular or commer- cial agent has appropriated to his Own use any amount of eaid over and above his reguiarly authorized compensation. and ifso, the names of such agents and amounts received by t .and under what law or authority s0ch amounts have been received. Mr. Wileon called up the resolutivn reported Jeeterday from the Committee on Public Build- ings, Amending tne twelve joint rule, 60 as to probibit the sale or use of malt and spirituous | liquors in the Capitol building, which was passed. Mr. Morgan introduced a joint resolution to remit or refund duties on agricultural m: chinery imported into the United States as models or experimentation during the year, Mr. Henderson moved to increase the Select Committee appointed on his resolution to en- uire into the management of the Printing Rerean of the Treasury Department from three to five memvers. Mr. Sherman said great damage had been done by false reports which had been sent over the country in regard to duplication of funds. He could state that there nad been no duplication. It appeared that the same num. bers bad been erroneously stamped on differ- ent bonds, but the whole amount of these was only $16,000 He thought it would be bette to make the committee a joint committee. Mr. Conkling thought it would be better to wait and see what could be done by a confer- ence with the House Cemmitter. Without action being taken on the motion, Mr. Tromball called up the unfinisned business, being the supplementary act to the bill to provide for the more efficient govern. ment of the rebel States, the question being on the amendment of Mr. Drake to the 4th section. Mr. Drake moa:fied bis amendment so as to read that no State shall be admitted to repre- rentation in Cengres until it provides by its Constitution tbat at all elections, Natio: Stace and Municipal, the electors shall y by ballot. Insagreed to. Mr. Trumbull moved to amend the 7th sec- tion by adding additional conditions ot admis- Sion so as to make the concluding portion read as follows, which he said was the language of the House bill: “And if the said Constitution shall be de- elared by Congress to be in conformity with tne provisions of he act to which this is supple- Meptary. and the other provisions of said act sbail have been complied with, and the Con- stitution approved by Congress, the State shall be entiiled to representation, and Senator: and Representatives shall be admitted therefrom as therein provided.” The amendment was adepted. Mr. Fessenden moved to umend the first sec- tion to make It read as follows: That before a convention shall be holden for the purpose of traminga Stite constitution Under and by virtue of the act to provide for the more efficient government of the rebel States, approved March 2, 157, the command- ing general in each district defined in said act shall cause a registration, &c, Mr. Trumbull hoped the amendment wonid not be adopted. It would ieave it optional with the commanding general to make a regis- tration. Hovee.—Mr. Banks, (Mass.,) from the Com- mittee on Rules, reported a resolution author- izing the printing of the rules and regulations and ot Whartor’s Digest, tor the use of mem- bers of the present House; which was agreed re 0. Mr. Banks also reported the following addi- tioval rules, which were severally agreed to, viz: Providing that when ary act has beea approved by the Presiden: the usual number of copies (1,550) shall be printed for the use of the members of the House: providing that all messages from "he President of tne United States, or from the Senate, announcing the ap. proval or passage ot any bills, shall be re- peated forth with from the Clerk’s desk, amend- ing the 134th rule so as to include members of Congress as among gentlemen privileged to the floor of the House, providing they are not interested in any claim before the House. aud will register that fact. Mr. Blaine, (Maine,) from the same commit- tee, reported a new rule, providing that all es- timates of appropriations from the Executive Departments shall be addressed to the Speaker, in order t they may be laid before the House, and not gone by to the Committee on Appropriations directly ashere- tofore; and also arule requiring that in all ap- priation the sum total appropriated shall be stated; both of which were adopted. Mr. Boutweil ( Mass.) mtroduced a joint res- olution in relation to claims against the Gov- erpment of the United States. Referred to Committee on Foreign Affairs. Mr. Ashley Mal ac presented the creden- tials of Hon. Mr. Mallory, Representative elect trem the State of Oregon, and the latter ad- vanced to the Speaker’s desk and was sworn an. Mr. Hulburd (N. Y.) introduced a resolution antborizing the Speaker to appoint the Com- mittee on Public Expenditures, and that said committee be charged to take into consideration the report made at last session relative to abuses at the New York custom house, and to report the result of that investigation. Mr. Huljburd said he made this motion on Account of charges that had been made against the report submitted at last session. In these charges, Mr. Smythe, the Collector ot the Port of New York, said that the report was conceived in malice; a statement which he (Mr. Hulburd) said was utterly untrue. Mr. Hulburd then referred to the denials made by Senators Patterson and Doolittle, relative to their alleged reeeipts of $5,000 each from Mr. Smythe, and said neither of the Senators denied that there was some sortof an agreement pending, although they did deny receiving the money. The committee in their report did not charge that either of the gentlemen had received one dollar, bat in or- der to show how the custom-house was man- aged, they felt it to be their duty to state all the testimony, and this testimony showed tnat an arrangement was meditated between the coi- lector and between the Senators named. edaud f ag OEY tes. s best premiums over all com- ved at the World’s Fair. in Lon- Roy thal as ee ee ie s t, amd best Pisuo Factory ft tates. ae cae ices tmz nes eee ey a a ice, fow anys, Weiuacete ya! store. ° A fal of White.
