Mr. Hainlin could not see what connection the ional banking system had with the funding of the national debt. There was no law, justice or equity in the attempt to coerce the banks. He believed the proposition of the committee would render the banks inoperative, and would <nd in commercial ruin. ‘The Government, of course, had the power to obliterate the banks, but was it wise to do this—to break taith with them? These banks should be treated just ax individuals. ‘The amendment of Mr. Howard was tien re- jectea. Mr. Buckingham also held that much injustice was dene to the banks by the 8th section, and advoeated striking it out. Mr. Sherman denied that there was any injns- tice contemplated towards the banks. ie said two hundred and fifty millions of the five-twenty bonds were now practically redeemable, ‘The banks had the most extensive privileges ever given to any private corporations in the world. The banks would be very unwise to. mae any i.sue on this point, and he should be very much surprived if they would not assist in reducing the interest on the debt. HOUSE.—Mr. Stone (Md.) presented petition of Joseph Owens, of Maryland, a soldier of the war of 112, praying for a pension. Referred to the Committee on Pensions. Mr. Sargent, (Cal.,) trom the Committee on propriations, reported back the vill to va- in thdian reservation in Oregon, and ferred to the Committee on Indian Af- julian (Ind.) asked, but failed to obtain, leave to report from the Committce on Pablic Lands a hit to revoke all land grants heretofore de to the New Orleans, Opelousas and Great Western railroad. House then resumed the consideration of pending yesterday tor an air-line rail- road to New York; and Mr. Swann (Md.) re- sumed his speech, which was cut off yesterday by the expiretior of the morning hour. He signed at lepgth against the wight of Congress {o ‘construct roads, and quoted precedents on he subject. When Mr. Swan’ had conelnded, Mr. Twich- eli (Mass.) moved that the further consideration of the Bill be postponed for thirty days. The motion was rejected—yeas 6), nays 91. Mr. Loughbridge (fowa) then moved to amena the bill so" as toullow appeals to the District Sesh of the United States from all awards made. Pending further consideration, the morning ioe ecpived, and the bill wentover until Tues- day nex’ ir. Logan (Til.) then called up the bill re- ported from the Military Committee for the re- reaper of the Army, and he dd to state all the pi itions submitted by tha com- mittee in the bill. He showed the necessity of a reduction, and quoted from laws passed since the war to show that no reduction had taken place, although great pretence was made in that direction. He quoted from the custom of Eng- id and France to that atter a war the policy had always been one of reduction. He made a comparison of the army and officers as it existed beture the late war, and showed the discrepancy at this day. He showed that with our smai: army we have a staff rank even equal to those of France aud Kussiq with their immense armies always on a war footing. Mr. Logan then explained how it was proposed to reduce the army by reducing the staif corps, abolishing brevet rank, &c. —— 268 INTERVIEW ov. CUBAN Exvors witn THE PResiENT.—Don Quesada and Colonel Verona, of the Cuban insurgent army, in company with Mr. D. Ruiz, the secretary of the Cu>an Junta, had an interview with the President yesterday, as stated in last evening’s Star. Mr. Ruiz, who speaks English very well, informed the Presi- dent that they had called to pay their respects to the chief of the great American republic. He said the two officers of the Cuban army pres- ent were weil known by their exertions for the independence of their country for the yor. ‘They had come here to prove the falsity.of the stories circulated by the Spanish Government and officers.

The former slaves are in large numbers in the army, and fight as men who are struggling for their freedom. At the request of General , Mr. Ruiz the Presi- dent several papers, containing his statement of aftairs in the island, and of the system of wartare adopted by. ihe Spanish and volunteer forces. The President took the papers and said he would read the reports. He inqutred about the condi- tion of baht sg on in the insurrectionary dis- trietayand the condition of the Cuban army. to ueries Colonel Varona (who also szesha Ena!ish) replied thet in that Part of the Island held by the Cuban army the, Peon! ple t lenty to eat, and were cont , but that devastation aiwars followed the track ot the army was strong and in they did not pec dines or ask any national aid from this great Republic, but simply its moral coun. tenance and support—their te.

Thave the pleasure of a personal acquaintance: with ev member of that committee, and I dv not believe that any member would send to the Church a statement which he did not be- lieve to be in accordance with the facts and tes timony before him. Nevertheless, we have found ourselves utterly unable to reconcile the statements of the Book Committees in Novem ber, 1862, with the statements of the same com mittee in February, 1570. John Lanahan then made a long defence ‘tion in the case, reviewing his wil. connection with the Book Concern, stating in detail Uhe inregularities he discovered, as well ar the pressure brought to bear on him, closing as folio “In the investigation of this matter I have met with opposition from my colleague, from the employes of the Concern, from almosi all+ave Drs.
