The aggregate of interest moming due at these dates is about $45,000,000, “Of whioh it is supposed that about $25,000,000 will be an ticipated in this way, making a virtual addition of pearly “Chat amount to the stuck of gold. ‘The Secretary also bas under consideration the expe. sdienoy of receiving nation: curreucy at rates slightly ‘del ow the current values of gold and of issuing therefor -Aagsistant Treasurer's certificates reccivabie in payment “of duties.

An important bill was passed in the House today, to \punish frauds 10 the change of names of old steam vessels ‘Cor the purpose of deceiving the public into risking their ‘ Lives and property upon these old hutks, disguised with mow paint and new names upon their whee!houses, while retaining their old names in small letters ander their saterns im order to keep within the letter of the law. This ‘Crau@ bad become so common and dangerous as to imper- atively require additional legislation for the protection - and safety of the public. ;BEPORTEZD HOSTILE OC ORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN MESAES, M'OLURG AND BLAIR. { Areport bas been ip circulation here to-day that a "hostile correspondence had passed between Messrs. Mo- ‘Clurg and Blair, of Missouri, growing out of the recent Gcene In the House betwoon them, and that a duel was Aikely to. grow out of it, There is no truth In this report. Ne Gorrespondence bes passed between these verbally ‘Deliigoront gentlemen, and nothing more than a verbal and legislative conflict 1s likely to grow out of the affair. ‘Thp probubiiity ia that Mr. Blair will, before the end sof the session, be unseated by Mr.!Knox; and it is re Ported that he has applied to the President to cancel his ‘Fesignation and restore him to the rank of major general, @od assign him to active duty tu the field. THR BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG. ‘This dattic seems destined to be pretty thoroughly yeo- ‘@Wated. 1f, im the future history of this rebellion, the Aistorian don’t give a full and authentic account of this ‘@ront battle, it will be because too much bas been said -on the subject. Too many facte have been given. The ‘Committee on the Conduct of the War has the battle be. fore them. Quite a number of generals have been before ethom, Among others General Butterfield, the Chief of ‘Staff of General Moade on the famous battle fleld has ‘boon on the stand. In bis testimony ho states that Gone- wal Méade gave it as bis opinion that ‘Gettysburg was no place to fight the battle.”’ THR SPECULATORS WITH OUR ARMIFS. One of the greatest nuisances in the army are the specu- Jetors that force themse!ves upon headquarters. When- » @ver a change of commanders is made a new set of men turm, ap to look after the spoils. They throng Sigel’s ‘army; they crowd upon Sherman, they worry the live of ‘this goveral and that general. Is there no way of get- ting rid of them? Why don’t the generals turn them -Out of their camps or put them in the guard house? OOMGRESSMEN NBGLECTFUL OF THEIR DUTIES. ‘The attendance of the members of the House for some time.past bas been very slim, and to-day, in addition to ‘the regular absentess, the attendance was further re- duced by the absence of several of the Ohio and Penn Gylvawis democrats, who had left to attend the Demo- Oratio State Couventions in those States. The conse- quence was that soon after going into Committee of the ‘Whole on the Currency bill the committee found itself ‘without @ quorum and was obliged to rise. A call of the ‘House was ordered, and for the first time this session it ‘was fally carried out, and occupied the time of the House for about three hours and until the ad- fourmmeat, The usual scenes were exhibited, and all sorts of oxcuses for absent members. The House did not s6em disposed to proceed with its legitimate business, and porhaps this was as harmless a way as any in which Co amuso itself. Several gentlemen were fined nomi Gums for their delinquency, and the House fiaally ad. Journed in excellent humor. ‘This matter of absentecism has become a crying evil, and there should be some way to enforce the attendance of members, Frequently the Houso is practically with. ‘Out @ quorum, and a large part of the time there is barely @ querum present, so that it is in the power of two or three members, if they #0 desire, to stop the progress of fogisiation. With tho great amount of business indispen- “@ablé to be got through before the adjournment, ft will require close attention on the part of the members to transact it and adjourn in reasonable time, After to-morrow, Saturday will no longer be devoted to ~ miscellaneous gab by the House, but it is to be regularly devoted to business, provided a quorum can be induced to attend, which is proviemitical. The people are weary of + Gpecobmaking, and require something more from their representatives than a never ending flow of words, with Out practical ideas or bearing upon the nocessitics and re. « quirements of the country. CAPTURE OF A NOTORIOUS GUSRILLA. Yesterday a email expedition returned from Freestone ‘Point, below Mount Vernon, bringing up Captain Hanne- gan, @Motorious guerilla, several men, and a number of ‘Grearms of different descriptions, Hancegan was sup- plied with rebel passes to travel within our lines, and bas ‘Deon Known for some time as a dangerous character.

MILITARY INTERFERENCE IN FLECTIONS, ‘The Senate procecded to the unfinished business of yea- terday, viz:—The bill to prevent military interference in the elections. Mr. Saviazcry, (opp.) of Del., said that the Senator from Michigan (31r. Howard) had said thut the time unpropitious for the passage of'such a Dill as this, He would commend him and others who thought like him to the example of winger British statesman, who, wheu the rights of the English subjects were at ‘stake, rose io his place in Parliament and declined to discuss questions of war 80 ay: a8 private ‘dy. ‘oopstant ncroachments of power, find that the dream we bi lusioa, Our constitutional rights were secured to us not only for times of peace but times of war. They were ag rudders to the ship, and if abandoned the ship was lost. Neither is the pretext that the surrender of these liber- ties temporarily is unnecessary for their preservation permanently. What an absurdity that the’ Union can be preserved by the destruction of the constitution. In his pir , thore who have these matters in hand not in view the preservation of the constitution, ir utterances crinced the truth of what v public man say thet be is in favor of the Union as it was and the constitution as it is, and what is the judgment passed upon bim? Why, that he is a disioyal mao and wofaithful to the it under which he lives, and the {noblest of all cect uttered on this day is’ adjudged by tho very men guilty of perpetrating acts in viclation of the con- stitution ae distoyal. He thought that the only disloyal ‘men and traitors In the country were those who scouted the constitution, It was to that constitution, «nd that alone, he owed his allegiance Had hoa right ‘to cherish y love or attachment to anything else besides the Union ‘and the constitution? Those who advocate the policy of destroying these were the reai traitors, and deserve to be branded ss such. Yet so enormous had been the abuses perpetrated by this administration that the power sat enthroned at the other end of the uvenue found it necessary to send armed forces into a State to prevent a free people from expressiug their love for @ free constitution made by their fathers, tod, under which they still desired to live. Their only disloyalty arose from the fact of their follow. ing in the prece; ts of their fathers. Was he asked to support a new Union under the oath he took? Was he asked to enter the pew house built yb Butler’on the ruins of the old fabric built by Washington, Adama, Jefferson and Madison? His people did not desire to enter the bean- eous pa'ace of Archbishop Butler, in hp of the adorn- ments which he picked up in the Guif of Mexico. They did net desire to look into the comiy mirrors, nor to bear the rains of the music from stolen instruments. They pre- the good old strains which come up from the past, which they have heard in infancy and manhoud— the music of the Union and the covetitution; and for a declaration of this kind alove have the people of what was once bis State, but now a military province, hd the ty- rannical hand jaid upon them for presuming to vote for the tatives of their choice. Yet the gen- tleman from Michigan said if these things were trae a deserved it, ides they would consider the state ‘the times. Sach a response as that might well come fro those who desire to pick up the crumbs which fail from the Presidential table. The sole offence of the domi. nant party io bis State was their attachment to the con- stitution and their refusal to vote as the administration might dictate. You can never conquer the spirits of brave men, though td may keop them from the polls by brute force, and thus deprive them of their rights, because they do not desire to clash against your armed power; but ne will retire to their nage such of bene as.may not be provided with prisons, and scorn you power and defy your Cpa’ nee Thm the resident should be a & , and now power with his army of = million ands half or men, with the power of out of ft every man politically Mr a an su the Cy Cm that tne arcny arm at Shae from Michigan ‘does, from perpetuating his power after thas become one of the greatest monarchs that ever sat upon a re sarees ume of this coun! but confidence was a pone of in this connection bir. py er, ovon's Peonoe bey oad be the Roman Empire,!’ ‘that fifteen thousat irmed and disciplined subjection oo mone or unarmed men.

Not against Governor Bradtord or the citizens, but sgainst bim who sat enthroned at the other end 0: the avenue, and Major General Schevck and those associated with him. Im regard to military toter- ference in bis own State, he quoted from a volume of three hundred pages of sworn testimony, taken before a committee of the Delaware Lagiaiature. Tho Governor says that he bad po oficial information that troops would be sent into the Slate at the election of 1862; yet on the eve of the diy of election every village 0: tho State was filled with soldiers. They swarmed at every poll except one or two on the day of election. Where did they come from, and for what purpose? donied that there had been auy trouble in that State do- manding their preseuce. The only authority for excouting the laws of the Stato was entrusted to the Governor, as commander-in-chiof, except when he secks the protection of the federal governmont; yet because that State was gmail and feeble in numbers (but vot in the patriotism of ber sons) these troops were sent among them He cited the testimony of Mayor Gilpin, of Wilmington, and others who had never beon democrats, to show that it bad been avowed befvreband that unless force was procured the State would go for the democrats; aad provost marshals had commissions signed by Edwin M. Stanton, and sent in blauk, accompavied.by orders, and yet the Lecrowary of War denies Phat any orders bad} beon sent direct from his department, He could not show those orders, but the testimony would prove this orime on the fecretary to the satisfaction of a jury of twelve honest men. The blank commissions, it ia testified by several of the provost murshais— who are of course republicans—were filled up on the Sunday preceding the Tuesday election by George F. Fisher, ihe Tepublican candidate for » and Dow & Judge of the Supreme Court of the Dist "He wished to let the country know that we bad asecrotary of War who seut out blank commissions ou the eve of election and allowed partisan candidates to Mil them.

He quoted at length from Plutarch’s Life of Pompey, and drow a parallel between Cwsar and Lineoln, It would be seen that our Progident was not the drst man in the world who bad sont soldiers to con- trol elections, He did not know whether the President wad read Plutarch, though he understood that, he was well versed in Sbakspere, and considered the passage, “Oh! my offence fs rank |”? one of the best. (Laughter.) He held that there was a fixed purpose, and everything is being done to perpetuate the power of the President for four years; and if this attempt was uvrebuked by the people by their votes, this bresident, with bis army, will defy the American people aftor the vext term of four years shall expire. If be doos not he will te an extraordinary man. fle ap: pealed from Cysar to the Senato, and invoked it by that love of constitutional liberty which animated our fathers, and that love of civil liberty which caused the effusion of such precious blood in the Revolution, to save us from the impending military despotism, ‘THB MILITARY ACADEMY TILL.

CHANGING NAMES OF VESSKLS TO DECEIVE. Mr. Wasnsvrns, (rep.) of *Iil., from the Committee on Commerce, reported the bill punishing frauds in tho change of pames of vessels. He caused to be read a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, who says the laws are inadequate for that purpose, and that worthless bulks are repainted either to be sold or sent on voyages under new names, tothe danger of property and the lives of passengors, While the old names are left on the stern, mew ones are painted on the wheel- Louse for the purpose of deception.
