XNVASTIGATION OF THE CHARGES AGAINST THE TREA- BURY DEPARTMENT. ‘The appointment to-day of a House committee to in- vestigate the charges against the Treasury Department, ‘gots at reat all rumors in reference to the resignation of ‘Secretary Chase. However he may have desired to re- ‘tire from his position 20 soon as the legislation of Con «gress in regard to the pubiic finances was completed, he wil! not do so in the face of the proposed investigation, ‘which, it is understood, has been courted by the principal etbordinates in the department ever since the charges were first publicly uttered. EQUALITY OF THE COLORED TROOPS. ‘The African occupied the attention of the House nearly ali to-day, The Senate amendment to the Army Appro- Peiation bill equalizing the pay, rations, &o., of the colored and white soldiers, led to a protracted debate, and mauch feeling was at times manifested. The amendment swas Ginally adopted by a large majority. Gen. Schenck and one or two otper republicans who opposed the Senate amendment did #0, not because they disapproved of the measure, but because they thought that it should, ex- opt fow cases, where the enlisted negroes, as in the (ostance of the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts, had been Promised increased pay, become operative on the Ist of May, and not on the 1st of January, as provided in the Benate amendment. ‘While the Senate's amendments to the Army Appropri- ation bill were under consideration in the House to-day Representative Schenck, chairman of the Military Com- ‘mittee, proposed to substitate foF the sections relating to mogro soldiers the Senate bill equalizing the pay of all soldters of the army, which had been passed upon by ‘hat committes with some modifications, and aiso in- creasing the pay, &c. The Senate, having become im- ‘pationt at the delay of the House not acting upon their ‘Dill, tacopporated its provisions in the Army Appropriation ‘Pill, which provisions, with the amendments by the Committee on Ways and Means and those of the Military ‘Committee, formed the basis of the House proceedings of to-day, and the result isas stated in the Congressional s {hey Bee POLITICAL DEBATE IN THE HOUSE. ‘The industrial proclivities of the House continue undi- minished, and an evening session only for debate was Geld this evening. The attendance was very small; but ‘as the speeches made on the bill under consideration— (that for the reconstruction of the rebel States—were in. tended only for campaign purposes, the object of the Speakers was attained. QUB OOMMERON AND OUR CONSULAR SYSTEM AND SMUGGLING. A letter from the Seoretary of State calls the attention of the House Commi:tee on Commerce to several Seoate amendments to the Diplomatic and Consular Appropria- tion bill recommended by the Finance Committee at the @uggestion of the Secretary, and designed to secure the more efficient working of the consular system and execu- ‘tion of the law of last Congress requiring all invoices of goods Imported into the United States to be authenticated ‘Dy our consuls, by which the consular fees will be {o- roreased during the present year mere than one hundred ‘thousand dollars, and also to protect our revenue from tne operations of smugglers in Canada, It is asked to transfer salaries of fifteen hundred dollars from -the now unimportant ports of Otranto, Taranto, Ancona and Napoleon Vendee to consulates at ‘Brindise, Gibraltar, St. Helena and Boulogne. Authority {a requested to appoint consuis in Canada at Clifton, Cou- ticooke, Erie, Goderich, Kingston, Port Sarnia, Prescott, St. Lambert, Longneil, Toronto and Windsor, at fifteen ‘bu odred dollars each. The Secretary says that he has foliabie information from Canada, France, Switzerland, and even China, that arrangemonts are in progress for Ghipptog large quantities of teas, silks, velvets and other riob’ goods to Canada, with the intention of attempting to smuggle them into the United States under the pros. poctive bigh tariff. Ap increase of the consulate salary at ‘Nassau is also recommended, In consequence of the fraudulent under valuation of silks and velvots, requiring ‘the employment of an expert and the necessity of tripli- cnte tnvoless at Lyovs, France, five hundred dollars ad- ditional salary is recoommended for that consulate. 4 BILL RELATING TO ABANDONED REBaL PROORETY. Tho Secretary of the Treasury has commanicated to Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, chairman of the Committee on Commerce, the draft of a bill relative to abandoned $roperty, with various suggestions concerning the neces- Gary logrslation upon the subject. The first section sanctions sales of live stock, planting implements and machinery at the points where collected, ‘astead of sonding them to some place in the loyal States ‘as Toquired by the present law. The second section connects the case of abandoned piantations with the genoral care of the freedmen, whose Support must be derived from the cultivation of these tends, unless they ate to become a burden on the Treasury. “This provision involves little expense or delay. The third section provides that fees be charged for epermits, graduated according to the magnitude of the transaction, and that they be paid into the Treasury after sdedvoting the attendant expenses; also the moneys arising from the leases of abandoned lands, The fourth section mects the cases of persons residing rwithin the lines in insurrectionary States, who clatm to ‘conduct trade and transport supplies therein withoat be- «Log subject to the prohibitions and penalties applying te persone from other States. ‘Tho fitvh seotion ts intended to sanction restrictions pon trade and transportation, in the loyal States even, ‘Cor the purpose of proventing supplies to the rebels. ‘The sixth section repeats the existing distribution of -oné half the prosseds from abandoned property to In- formora and customs officers, and leaves the whole mat- cor Hb ene court decreeing the forfeitures.
