MoMurray, of Tae Bark Nore Painting Ixquiry.—The Committee on Banking and Currency this morn- ing reeumed the consideration of the subject of bank Lote printing. A great deal of time was consumed in the explanation of certain ap} ent discrepancies in Mr, McCartee’s rep which was made necessary by reason of the construction placed upon the figures by th: agents of the New York Bank Note Companies r. Hubbard, counsel for the New York com- panies, stated that he had been informed by employes of the bureaa of engraving and print- ing that the secret process used by that bureau in printing notes consisted of a bath, which was of no real value. Mr. McUartee stated that the process im use by the bureau had been satistac- corily tested by Secretary Boutwell before it waz adopted. While be was willing to tell, and lad told the committee the details in connection with 1t, be should decline to enlighten the New York companies on the subject.

He was the first in- cumbent of this office, which was created by the law unter which the Attorney Gener al’s office was reorgvized as the Department of Jus- tice. The mee talents and extensive legal re- quirements which had marked Colonel Bristow as one Of the formost lawyers of his native-stat> soon made for him a very enviable reputation. He resigned the office of Sofcitor General to become connected with the Southern Pacific railroad in an important and lucrative positiva, which he still holds, and he wili ecept the Secretaryship of the ove? | at some pactifica of his U Sopa interests.

Tar SumNgr Sav The late residence of Senator Sumner has been thronged yesterday and to-day by prospective purchasers at the sale of the furmiture, which takes place to-mor- row. The articles to be sold will doubtiess bring a high price, as may be understood from the fact that * bid of ore thousand dollars has been made for a very old German hall clock, and itis believed ‘bat it would bring more than bot Umes that sum if subjected to sharp com- petition. ‘The auctioneers in cherge of the sale, Messrs. Latimer & Cleary, have received several or- ders, accompanied by s ms of money, varying in amount, from perso: s at a distance, asking the firm to purchase for them something belongs ing to the late Senator as a keepsake.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.— On motion of Mr. Butler, (Maés.,) the Senate was requested to return the bill ap; the time for holding the courts of the United States in the fourth judicial district. On motion of Mr. Poland, (Vt.,) the Senate dill to ze suthorize the After briefly reviewing the provisi»ns of the several sections Mr. Poland demand «4 the p-e- vious question, which was sustained —ayes 17, noes 54. Mr. Poland then gave three-fourths of the re- maiting hour to Mr. Cannon, the Delegate from Utah, who yielded ten minates to Mr. , of Nel who disclaimed any sym- o thy, but said that system should not be con- Founded with the framing a system of @ jaw for the government of great territory, which might be used hereafter to oppress a free peo- le. He had heard the remark made aroun? Bim that they did not care what the bill con- tained, they were going to put it through, an be asked if that was the spirit in which so im- portant a bill should be passed. Mr. Crounse proceeded to argue that a fee!- ing of hostility to Mormonism was leading the House to enactments that were antl-republican in cheracter and a blow at American liberty. Atide from the people of Utah a+a law-abiding, peaceable and industrious people, and said while he did not eulogize the bill as a whole there were features init that ougut never tw beceme a lar Mr. Potter (N. Y.) opposed the amendment offered by Mr. Cessva, and said it was better to drive the people eut of the territory than to allow a federal judge to pack his own juries. He commented on the clause prohibiting be- lievers in polygamy from sitting on juries when the question of polygamy was involved. He said that Congress had years ago passed @ la against polygamy, which had been inoperative, and this law must either prove inoperative or reeult in locking up all the Mormons and leay- ing the territory open to non-Mormous. bir. Cannon (Utah) denied that tne appoint- ment of @ territorial marshal and attorney eneral was in conflict with the duties of the /nited States marshal or district attorney. or that the probate court of the territory conflicted with the jurisdiction of the United States courts. He said that justice was administered in the probate courts, and verdicts were given in favor of non-Mormons or Mormons with equal justice and impartiality, as the records would’ show. He contended that if the law was not aimed directly at Mormons it should be made gene- ral, and apply to all the territories. He dented that there was vp Bomeony dl for the passage ot the bill, and said Congress had been memorial- ized tosend @ Congressional Committee there to investigate the facts, showing that the Mormons are not afraid of the closest scratiny He charged that the United States officers in Utah were the men urging the passage of this bill, and that its pas<age had not been re- quested by the people of Utah, Mormon or non-Mormon. If the law passed the United States offices in Utah ot District Attorney and Marshal would be worth as mach as that of President of the United States. He said the government was economically ad- ministered; the taxes were light, order was maintained, and the people were contented. This Dill was an attempt to rob the people un- der the guire of - He recalled the early history of the Mormons in U when the grasshoppers destroyed the crops, and the Mor- mons survived when others would have per- isbed, because they shared fraiernally with one ther what little they had. Four years ago it said that there would be b'ood shed unless the bill then before Congress passed, but these four years bave cia;sed, and ‘there has been ‘no blood shed or disoruer. There were many, he said, who favored this bill, hoping that it would de~::0y Mormonism, but the experience of the past -howed that the Mormons could not be conver. d at the point of the bayonet. They had been. riven from their homes time and time again, but were not crushed. He cited the liberality of the Mor- mone in opening their churets to the ministers of other denominations todiscuss their system of religion. Mr. Cesena advocated bis amendment aliow- ing the jurors to be selected by the courts as a substitute for the fourth section of the bill, which allows one hair to be selected by the Mormons, and inveighed against the crimes of bigamy and polygamy, wuich, he said, was practiced iu Uteh in deGance of the laws of the United States. Mr. Ward (Ill) argued that legislation was made pecersary by the tiie of civilization which was sweeping over theland. Heattacked n of the Mormons, and said the God at sacrificed woman vpon the altar of man’- lort in a plurality of wives was not a God be could worrhip, and classed Mormonism among the other systems of idelatry. He did not de sire to do apy injary to the Mormons, but he dui not propore to give them the power to rau th county with their own God, their own religion and Uieir own high priests. He commented with moch severity upoh the provisions ef the #b rection of the bill, and compared it wit. granting to criminals to select one-half the jury to try thetr fellow-criminals. He insisted thi: the Mormons sheuld be compelled to acce}:! whet was just and right in the expressed opir- ion Of the whole civilized world. He did nw care where the measure came from; it was just and right. and he shonld support ic. Mr. Poland raid two years ago he went t» Utab, profersionally, and made the acquaint ance of many gentlemen of the bar tuere, ant he supposed that it was tn consequence of ‘tha’ that they applied tohim in this matter, as he bad not hitherto been a leader in the matter. He raid he would like gentlemen to compare the bill which passed the House four years ago by 4 vote of four toone, and proceeded to point out the much more strinvent provisions of that bill, aud said it could hardly be charged that be had the vp of both bills. But he said it could not be denied that this people were as much in conflict with the gov- erpment as any part of the country in the darkeet days of the rebellion. Did not the gentleman from Utah know that the law inst volygan y had been unblushingly violated. r. Cannon said the Unit tates had had the jucges, district attorney and marshal, and if the violation of the jaw had not been pun- ished, the people of Utah were not to blame.
