Mr. Butler moved to reconsider the vote by Which the bill in relation to marriages between White men and Indian women was passed yester- day.

Mr. Manderson offered a resolution, which was adopted, directing the committee on ibrary to In- quire into the advisability of purchasing a iife-size picture of Abraham Lincoln by Wm. 'T. Matthews, of New York. THE INQUIRY ABOUT MR. WESTBROOK. The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Hale, calling on tue Attorney-General for information as to the appointment of Chas. R. Westbrook as assistant to the district attorney for the southern district of New, York, was taken up and passed. ‘The morning business being fuished the bill for refunding the direct tax of 1861 was taken up, the question being on Mr. Chandler's motion to recom- ait the bill. The motion was rejected. ‘The question was then taken On an amendment offered by Mr. Edmunds, requiring all claims to be fied wituln six years, and 10 was agreed to. Several amendments of a verbal character were also ag. eed to, Mr. Berry offered an amendment providing that nO part of the money collected from individuals shalt be retained by the United States as a set off against any state indebtedness, Mr. Sherman opposed te amendment as un- necessary. ‘he améndment was agreed to. Mr. Vance offered an amendment extending the provisions of the bill to the cotton tax collected Under the law of 1862 and subsequent laws. He sald that if the direct tax was to be refunded this cotton tax (Which was also a direct tax) ought to be refunded. If the one was a baraship the other Was equally a hardship. ‘The cotton ax was a tax on exports, and was levied on the peculiar product of one section of the country, so that there could be no compensating Lax on any other section. Mr. advocated the amenament. ‘The con- stitutianallty Df tue cotion tax had Lecn referred, he sald, to the Supreme Court, and tne court (consisting unen of only elgit members) had been equally divided upon it, Being @ vax upon a raw Product, It Was virtually a lax on land; therefore a direct'tax, Which should be (under the Constitu- tow) apportioned according to population. THE NORTH AND THR SOUTH. Mr. Berry also advocated the amendment. Four- fifths of the money, under the bill to refund the direct tax, would go to the Northern states, and it Was but equitable and Just that the cotton tax, which had fallen wholly on Southern planters, should be retunded, Mr. Brown believed that the cotton tax should be refunded; and Whenever that question came up in such shape that he could properly vote for it he would doso. But the adoption of the cotton tax amendment would (he was convinced) defeat the pending measure, Which, he believed, ought to Pass. “He should, therefore, vote against the amendment. Mr. Morgan expressed his concurrence with the Views or-Mr. Brow, The question of the cotton tax had hot been considered by the committee on finance. It was a very grave question, and there would be @ serious dimculty found fn retundi: the cotton tax. ‘The effect of the pending bi Would be to remove all causes of hear--burning that might be lingering in the minds of the people of ‘the’ two sections. He supported it cause of Its merits, and he did not desire to have it connected with any other great proposition which would embarrass ts pas- Sage. The proposition offered by the Senator from North Carolina was a very disputed one. If the people of the South had ‘the constitutional Fight to claim the refunding of the cotton tax, he Would support the claim; but he would néver Setup an equitable claim vo It; for, after all, it Was the right Of the United States Government m its standpoint that the dissolution of the lon by the secsssion of states was linpossible) to tax the people of the South. He was not pro- pared to give @ defiuite opinion on the constivu- Honality of the cotton tax and would, therefore, sustain the position of the Senator from Georgia, r. Sheriian expressed his surprise that Sena- tors whom he had supposed to be strongly in favor of the pending measure, and for the benefit of Whose states It had been chiefly introduced, should have interposed such an obstacle to its pas- sage. He believed that the cotton tax (from 60 Lo ‘80 inlilious) had been right and just, and he was ready to defend that position “whenever it was assalled. ‘The vove was taken on Mr. Vance’s amendment and it wus rejected—yeas, 16; nays, 46, THE BILL PASSED. Other amendments were rejected and the Dill ‘Was passed—yeas, 48; nays, 10. House of Representatives. After the reading of the journal the Speaker pro tem, called the House to order and said: “I de, ‘sire to say, in order to allay uneasiness and appre- hension about the condition of our honored Speaker, that he 1s in process of rapid recovery, and that the occasion which calis the present ‘Occupant to the chair will hapily, I trust, rapidly ass away.” Pfr, Grosvenor (Obfo) presented the memortal of the board of centennial commissioners at Marl. etfa, Ohio, in regard to the centennial celebration of the settlement of the Northwestern territories, and it Was ordered printed in the Zecord. ‘THE TIMBER LANDS.
