Exeiting Discussion in the NEW YORK, SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1864—WITH SUPPLEMENT. NEWS ¢ROM WASHINGTON. More Charges Against Secre- tary Chase. oss Immorality and Debauchery in the Treasury Dopartment. Important Action ef the Senate on the Bank Bill. The Red River Disaster Attributed to Cotton Speculation, ae. ae. ae. Wasuincton, April 29, 1864. THE NATIONAL BANE BILL IN THE SENATE. ‘The discussion in the Senate to-day on tho National Bank question justifies the belief that the proposition subjecting the capital of such banks not invested in govervment bonds to State taxation will be adopted, Senators Fessenden, Clark and Jonvson ably advocated the measure, and have modified to a very great degree the views of the opposition. The manifestations of a dis Position to abrogate the rights of the several States were exposed and rebuked in a spirited manner, evidently to the gratification of a majority of the Senate, THE RUMORS REGARDING SECRETARY CHASE’S BE- ‘TIREMENT FROM TUE CABINET. Rumors have been rife here to-day, and were probably also circulated in New York, that the Secretary of the Treasury is about to retire from the Cabinet, on account of the charges preferred against him by the friends of Mr. Lincoln, who regard Chase as a rival candidate fur the Baltimore nomination. Mr. Chase is stil) absent; but it has been ascertained that he has no inten- tion of resigning his portfolio, at least not until all these charges have been investigated. Some of the allegations made sbow great stupidity on the part of their authors, and others may yet recoil on the heads of thuse by whom they are supposed to have been originated. DUPLICATED @ BACKS. The statement that several: thousands of dollars of greenbacks are held in New York bearing duplicate num bers, is set at rest by the fact that each number is placed upon four separate notes, but each series is desigaated ‘by a different letter on the face of the notes. ‘THE OVERISSUS OF FRACTIONAL CURRENCY. The charge of an overissue of fractional currency may de true; Dut if so it is not of those printed in the ‘reas. ury Department, where the system of checks and balances Preciudes the outgoing of a single sheot without discovery . SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THE GOVERNMENT LOAN. ‘The subscriptions to the ten-forty loan reported at the ‘Treasary to-day were eight hundred and filty three thou- sand dollars, THE DISCUSSIONS IN THE MOUSE OF REPRESBNTA- TivEs. ‘The members of the House to-day availed themselves of the opportunity afforded by the termination of their Jabors on the Tax bill to deliver ® number of speeches ich have been accumulating during the ten days dovoted to that measure, The Blair liquor case was up, and some two hours were devoted to it. It has now ‘been finally disposed of, as it is hoped, and the Missouri quarrel next comes up in the contested election cascs. The scene in the House this afterncon while Mr. Brooks, of New ¥ ck, was attempting to make his speech against Secretary Cha ¢ was most exciting and disgrace- ful. Certain republican members appear to oonsider themselves the special sepresentatives and defenders of the Fecretary against all comers. sy allusions un- favoravio to that officer calls them up, amd instead Of attempting to investigate, reply to or refute the statements and charges made, they content them- selves with voociferousiy and persistently calling the speaker to order, and striving to prevent the expression of charges against bim, Grave charges 0} fraud and corruption bave been repeatedly mado against Secretary Chase and the officers and agents of the Trea sury \epartment during the seesion. Today Mr. Brooks reiterated these charges, and also repented other charges which have been current here for some time of gross im- morality and devanchery existing im that department—zo grees that be said they were unfit to be detatied while ladies were in the galleries. A most disorderly and exciting gecne ensued, mombers on both sides springing to their feet and yociferousiy calling “Order! order?” Mr. Schenck and Mr, Brooks at ove time appeared likely to bave # personal contlict, addressing offensive person- alities to each other, and shaking their fists at one on other in ap angry and excited manner. Mr. Brooks per sisted in proceeding with his remarks, after they had been decided repeatedly, both by the Spe ker and the Hi uee, vot to be in order. But the triends of Secretary Chase are doing him more injury than his enemies conld by the course which they have taken, which, to say the least, has had the appear- ance of a desire to shield bim and the department from ah investigation, {t is due to him, as well as to the peo- ple, that « full and thorough investization should bo had, and ag impartial report made én rogard to all the al- teged corrupt, immoral and frauduleat practices, Mr. Garfield's resolution, offered just before the House took a recess this afternoon, but to which Mr. Ancona objected, covered the whole ground, and, had it been offered carlier in the session, and before the disgraceful scene of to day, would have relieved the majority of the House from the imputation which must now rest upon them, cf baving conceded this when it could no longer be refused without appearing to be a confession of the trath of at least a portion of the charges. ‘The whole affair sprung out of a resolution jntrodeced by Mr. Dawos, of Massachusetts, calling for the docu- ments alluded to by the President io his reply yesterday to the resolution of toquiry in regard to the Festoration to Biair of bis commission as Major General in the military service. Mr. Stevens to-day stated that be last might voted for the Tax bill. His name was not read or recorded, and he made noattempt to correct the omission, if it was an omission, either at the time or Wntil after the journal had eon read and agreed to this morning. Every man in the reporters’ gaftery concurs in tho statement that, as stated fa this correspondence last evening, and as appears by tho reoord, he did not vote upon it. His remark to-day in reply to Mr. Voorhees, that the bill bad beem so man- gled that be almost wished he had been « locofoco se that he might vote against it, shows that if he voted at all it was in such an intentionally inaudible manner as to ren- der it (Or all practicabie purpores no vote atall, Mr. Blow waa innocently reported as not being present. Ho was present, aod voted for the bill. Tho discussion of Winter Davis’ bill on the reconstruc tion of the rebel States occupied a portion of the after. noon and the whole of the evening session today, Tho substitute presented by Mr. Stevens to-night fully plains his position on this vexed question, avd it te hardiy too much to say that he is almost without a follower in the extreme doctrine which he proclaims, A number of speeches are yot to be made apon the bill; but a vote will probably be reached next carly week. THE QUARREL OF THE MISSOURI CONGRESSMEN. The everlasting Missouri quarrel was up in the House Agnin to-day, Mr. McClurg, of Missouri, replying to Mr. ‘Bialr's specch of last Saturday on tho repert of the se- Jeot committes in his liquor case. His speech was an altqmpt to show that, notwithstanding the report of the comm~ltice and the evidence given before it, Hicir must still He Yoder suspicion of complicity im the frawd, and iucidontaky dofending Mr. Chase and the Treasury agon' ogainet the charges made against them by Blair. she Teport and ewidence are to be primed, and it is hoped that this is the dst that will be heard of the matter ia Congress. INCRBASE OY THE PAY oF THE ARMY. The bill reported by Mr. Schenck, from the Committee on Military Afaira, to day ,20d on whieh early action will he taken, inara.res tha nay Of privaten in the army to a sixteen dollars, corporals eighteen dollars a month, and ‘pom-commissioned officers proportionately. The rations, peper exeepted, are reduced to the old ration of 1361, Colored weldiers are put on the same footing, as to pay, rations and clothing, as white soldiers. THE NAVY YARD POR 1RON-ORADS. The House Naval Committee had the matter of the ‘wew bavy yard for irqa-clads under consideration again ‘to-day, and discussed it for some tinre, but were uvabie to come to apy conclusion upon it. League Island has Deon @isposed of, and New London will probably be finally agreed upon, although there is still a good deal of opposition to it. RESIGNATION OF CAPTAIN BENKARD. Captain James Benkard, of General” Augur’s staff, bas resigned, in consequence of the recent death of bis father, in New York. No officor was more esteemed in the army, and his loss to the service is @ source of much regret. NAVAL ORDERS. Commodore William Smith bas deep ordered to the command of the Lancaster. Commodore Gleady has been ordered to the command of the Pensacola Naval station. Commodore Thatcher has been ordered to command the storeship New Hampshire.

Sen: Wasuinato, April 20, 1864, IMPORTANT INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT IN THE NORTHWEST. Mr. Growes, (rep.) of Iowa, presented the memorial of Alanson Penfield, Clerk in the Treasury Tepartment, praying for the construction of reservoirs tor supplying the Upper Mississippi with a medium stage of water for navigation throughout the dry summer months, and a canal from the head of Lake Superior to the Red river of the North, via Sandy Lake, a distance of fcrty miles; thence via Crow Wing, Leaf river and Ottertail Lake to Breckinridge—a total distance of two hundred and forty milea—thus opening pavigation by the Red river and Saskatchewan for two thousand miles to the base of the R cky Mountains, and furnishing an outlet to the Hud- gon’s Bay region. This would require an improvement forty-three miles less than the ox and Wisconsin ri ‘canal route, and eighty miles shorter than the Iilin and Misaissippi Canal INDIAN AFFAIRS, Mr. Rawsay, (rep.) of Minn., Introduced a Dill for the benofit and better management of the Indians, by which the President is authorized to locate them upon new re- servations, Congress retaining the power to vacate such reservationg, when the President can locate them again and sell their lands.

The cavalry in advance on that occasion, numberin; three thourand meno, had two thundred aud sixty fiv wagons, which became entangled and confused the wbu'e action and brought on disaster. Mr. Witsow wanted to know if the Senator charged thit the Red river expedition was undertaken for the more purpose of gathering cotton? ‘Mr. Hanpxnsoy said no such thing. He merely wished to know what this brigade of cavalry wanted w hundred and sixty five wagons. unlees it wai up the products of the country? He had morely stated that this extraordinary number of wagons were, as charged by the newspapers, for the purpose of gathering cotton. Mr. Coxxres, (rep.) of Cal., stated, on what be consid- erca the highest authority, that these wagons were pat of the regular train of the army; and, whatever might have boen the defect (f generalship which brought them there, the statement that they were imtended to bring in cutton was bot correct. Mr. Hen: ereon made no charges himself; but it was singular that the disaster bad tollowed the statements and predictions of the newspaper writers. He read a letter from Grand Eoore, dated jour days before the bat- tio, alleging a conflict of authority between General Banks and Admiral Porter, and stating that the Intter was seiz ing cotton on land a8 a naval prize, and predicting disas ter. These predictions ‘the reeulis seemed to confirm. Ho hoped the statements were incorrect, and he hoped there bad been no disagreement between Admiral Horter and General Panks.
