THE DIRECT-TaX BILL. ‘The bill to credit and pay to the several states and territories and the District of Columbia all monies collected under the direct-tax act of the 5th of August, 1861, was taken up, the question being on w verbal amendment offered by Mr. Hoar when the bill was up some days ago. Mr. Sherman regarded the proposed amendment a8 a mere surplusage; and, while he had no objec- ‘on to It, still he preferred to take the bill just as reported from the finance committee, as pre] some Years ago by ‘the First Controller o} ‘Treasury, and us twice passed by the Senate, Mr, Chandler moved to recommit the bill. In the Southern states, he sald, the tax to the ‘amount of $2,520,000 was collected directly by Federal officials, not one dollar of it coming out of @ state treasury. He therefore submitted that, while it was just and right to remit to the states the sums which they had failed to pay, and to re- fund the moneys which the state treasurers had paid to the United States, it was not wise or expedient to pay to state treasurys mone} that had never come from them, but which the United States Government had exacted from 1n- dividuals, He Warned the Senate that the Dill Would prove a Pandora’s box, and that claimants who did not get satisfaction from their own states would come to Congress and demand that the Government which took the money from them would refund it to them. ‘Mr, Salisbury expressed his concurrence gener- ally with the views of Mr. Chandler, although he ‘Was opposed to the bill entirely on the ground that Congress had no authority to distribute part of the surplus in any such way. Mr. Sherman explained that the necessity for, the passage of the bill was to simplify relations at the Treasury Department between the General Government and the respective states. If the United States were required to hold the money in its Treasury untill aif the taxes collected directly from Individuals were paid back tothemselves or their heirs, the object of the bill would be de- feated, ‘There would be more diMficulty and ex- nse in paying back the tax than there had been collecting it. The bill_was intended as a peace offering, to settle @ controversey in reference to this money. ‘Mr. Hawley said it seemed to him that the proper thing would be (if. the Senate were gotng to take the equities of the matter) to say to Individual claimants, “We will pay you directly if you pre- sent your claim within six years; if not, we Will pay the balance to the state.” Mr. Harris advocated the bill, Mr. Hale said that Mr. Sherman in his remarks had disclosed the weakness of the bill. Many of those from Whom the tax was collected had died or disappeared. Why then should the amount which they lad paid be refunded to the statest MR. RIDDLEBERGBR INTERRUPTS. At this point of the discussion a motion to pro- ceed to executive business was made by Mr. Rid- dleberger, Who Was proceeding to state his under- Standing of an agreement todo so to-day, when he ‘Was informed by the presiding officer that debate ‘Was ot in order. ‘Mr. Riddleberger demanded the yeas and nays on his motion. ‘The yeas and nays were taken, and the motion was rejected—yeas, 26; nays, 26— & party vote, except that UR. RIDDLEBERGER VOTED WITH THE DEMOCRATS in favor of the motion. After some remarks by Mr. Call 1n opposition to the bill, Mr. Riddleberger renewed his motion to Proceed to executive business, and the motion was again defeated—yeas 26, nays 27—Mr. Riddleber- ger again voting with the democrats. THE LAMAR NOMINATION. A majority of Senators do not understana that there was any agreement for an executive session to-day, a8 was stated by Mr, Riddleberger, but on the contrary that there wasa tacit acquiescence in ‘the Wish expressed by some Senators Last night that no action should be attempted untill Monday on the Lamar case and the Cabinet nominations, ‘The Votes of t6-day are not held to have any sig- nificance as bearing upon the result in the Lamar case, Since some of Mr. Lamar’s friends abstained from voting in consequence of what they under- Stood to be the tacit understanding of yesterday.

CLASS MAIL MATTER, On motion of Mr. Blount, of Georgia, the House proceeded to the consideration of the bill relating to permissible marks, writing or printing, on sec- nd, third, and fourth class mail matter. ‘Mr. Blount briefly explained the provisions of the measure which had been recommended by the Postmaster-General, and which had been rendered necessary by a recent decision of the Post-umice ment. He did not think that its passage ‘would affect the revenue of the Department, wnile it would undoubtedly extend a great convenieuce to business men.
