It now becomes @ stumbling block in this wise: If the House proceeds to business on the Speaker’s table, all bills come up in their turn. Of course, in its own time the civil rights bill would be reached. If reached, lear ity in the House taal way to keap it + to refuse to go to business on table, which requires a two- thirds vote. There are enough opposed to the menture to persist in such refusal.

Im the Senate yesterday afternoon, Mr Allison c Hed up the bill providing a new form of government for the District of Co- Inmbia, and ssid, the bil was the result of the most careful cousideration by the com- mittee, and bad passed the Hous; almost unan smousty. He hoped the bill would be passed Wibout amendment. Mr. Windom moved an amendment appr) prini ing $250,000, for the parpose of paying the workingmen employed on the public works ua rthe control of the Board or Pu but withdrew the amendment on th of Mr. Allison that the comm ded an appropri-tion of one miliiun dollars Mr. Sargent moved to amend the secon'l sec- 'Y providing that one of the three commis- sioners ehali be Gesignated as president of the commision, to be styled the governor. Mr. Allison said there was no necessity what- ever for thi-; that the commission was only to te atemporary affair. Mr. Thurman eld the only object of this amendment seemed to be to create a dignity fer some oue. It was hoped that the President would appoint three houest, careful, sensible men to this commirsion; men who would not care for any euch title as governor. The great object now should be to litt the District out of jus present distress. What was wanted was simple, honest men, who would look after the interests of the people, and care nothing for titles. ‘Ihe governor never oughtto have been a member of wny of these boards. Th» object of this commission was to audit the accouuts of this District, accounts which had not been au- dited for three years, or from the beginning of the present government. Theaccoants of none of the departments of this government agreed with the other. Mr. Hamlin conceded to the select committee ail the ability and industry which they deserved, ut be indicated thst Le “tid not think the bill covered everything. He thought some provision fhould have heen mace for the fanding of the floating debt. In regard to the temporary ehar- acter of the new government, it might last for @ year or two, At re he thonght the amencmutof Mr. Sargent wa8 @ proper one, and he would vote for ir. The anendment was jected—ayes 12, nays 36, the af'irmatives belng Messrs. Boer, Clay- ton, Cencset, Hawhn, Reilly, Mitchell, Mor- rill, (Me.) Oglesby, Patterson, Sargent, Wia- dem and Johnson. Mr. Sargent moved an amendment to the sixth sectiou, striking cus that portion provi- ding that the First and Second Comptrollers of the Treasury shall constitute a board of audit, and providing that the Secretary of the Treas: wy thall cesignate three of his subordinates to cor stitute the board of audit. Mr. Allison said the committee had carefully considered this matter, and were satisied that the two officers mentioned were the proper ones to aucit the accounts. It was, of course, ex- pected that they would do the detatis of the work main'y through subordinates, but the hon- esty and efficiency of these officers wasso well known that there Was no danger that they would natures to avything which they did be right. gent suid too much was lett to the subordinates and no restriction was placed upon them. The amendment of Mr. Sargent was rejected, receiving oniy four vot ‘The bil was then passed withont amendment.

Passed. Mr. Scott stated that in the report in the morning papers he was represented as saying yesterday, in the debate on the moiety bill, that the moieties received at Philadelpli ear were $30,000. Such was not the ca: he had made no such statement. [{t is p to state that Mr. Scott's remark was misund stood by the reporter on accouut of the great confusion prevaising on the floor. What be did say Was that if he recollected rightly the moie- ties at the port of San Frauci-co were $2,000, while at New York and Boston they were, in nd in the other $40,000.) TAXATION OF CHURCH PPC PSRTY IN THIS DIS- Tricr. - Boreman moved to reconsider the vote by which the bill for the government of the District of Columtia was passed yester- day. He had not read the bill when it came up for action yesterday. Inthe ninth section he fourd @ pFovision in reference to taxation, which if he understood ite rrectly inaagurated asystem of taxation which so faras he kuew had never before prevailed in the Uvited States This was the taxation of church property. He would never have voted for this bill had be known It. Mr. Allison said the church property of this city was about one-fifteenth of the whole as- sessed valuation. Around it most of the more valuable improvements had been made and had been paid tur by the property holders. The committee had intended only to except from taxation school property and that held for char- itable purposes. The Hou~e of Delegates of this District hed recommended that church prop- erty be taxed. And further this provision was only intended to be temporary as was the entire Dill. It wae necessary that all the property here should contribute its share to the support of the geverpment. Mr. Stewart hoped the bill would not be re- considered. He said it was an open question with many as to the propriety of taxing charch property, and many thought that it should be taxed. Mr. Sargent hoped the biil would meet all the expectations of the very adie committee which had perfected it. He bad tried hard yes- terday to make what be thought additions to the bill, but had met with but poor success. He now hoped that the bill woul: be reconsidered. Mr. Morton was not bere yesterday when the Dill was passed, but this morning he had been called on by a number of gentlemen, residents bere, who had infurmed him that the tax levied by the bill would im effect,in consequence of the depreesion of the tumes,and the taxes already levied upon the people, result in confiscating & large part of the property of the District. ir. Thurman said all these things had been csrefully considered by the committee. It was all nonsense to talk about this tax confiscating the property of the Dustrict. The bill reheved the property bolders of a large amoant of taxes already astesscd. The town in which he lived in Obi0, one of the largest in point of taxes in the state, the rate was over $3 on the hundred. In Cleveland it was $4, and this was levied both on real and personal property. In cou- cluding, Mr. Thurman moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the table; which was carried. On motion of Mr. Sherman the House amend- ments to the bill autborizing the transfer of old mint bars from the bullion fund of the New York assay office to ass) it treasurer York, were concurred tn, with the fur- ther amendment that they may be applied to the redemption of coin certificates or in ex- change for gold coins at not less than par, and vot jess than the market value. The bill now goes back again to the House.
