The committee also propose to exempt coal from the duty of twenty per centum additional on the rates now proposed to be inorcased to that extent on nearly all the -artictes included in the ninety-fourth section of the prea ‘nt law.

SALUTES FOR UNION VICTORIES. 80 common have salutes for victories become here that hey only excite 1 passing inquiry as to what now suc- cess they celebrate, We have had salutes nearly every day this week for splendid successes, which, one year ‘ag0, would have excited the wildest enthusiaam, the equal of which now could only be aroused by the news Of the entire dostruction of Lee's army and the termina- Gon of the war. The &e., SENATORIAL DEBATE ON THE LOUISIANA QUESTION, Tho Senate had a lengthy Gebate this evening on the ‘HW ENROLMENT BILL. ‘The Amendatory Enrolment pill again occupied the @ttoation of the House for about four hours this after. ‘To-day an effort ‘was made to revive this section, but it was omphatically Tejocted, as on the previous oocasion. The House also struck out the section helding the principal liable for the ‘eubstitute, although the latter may have been mustered to, and adopted an amendment making the mustering in ef the substitute conclusive in favor of the principal. Th) amendment moved yesterday by Mr. Blnine to abolish the whole system of paper credits was finally @dopted by the House to-day by a dociaive vote. THK CLAIMS OF LOYAL CITIZENS OF RAST TENNFSSES. & Dill wag introduced in the Senate W-day bo glavligh , NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1865. - I ‘2 commission of claims at Knoxville, Tenn., to hear and determine, wpon principles of equity and justice, and ‘without regard te forms or vouchers, the claims of all loyal citizens of East Tennessce. The act authorises the com- missioners, as soon as claims are ecttled, to draw their warrants for the amount thereof upom the Secretary of the Treasury. THE PROSPECT OF A FORBIGN WAR. In discussing the Fortification bill to-day in the Senate, Mr. Reverdy Johnson stated that if the present war should continue two years longer it was by no means certain that we should not have a foreign war. Advices from France, both public and private, indicate the pur- pose of the Emperor to recognize the Davis confederacy if the rebellion is not quelled within a reasonable period, Mr. Johnson, therefore, argued in favor of keeping our coast fortifications in good order, especially those of New York. PAYMENT OF THE TROOPS. For the last six days paymasters have been drawing upon the Treasury for funds for the payment of troops at the rate of two millions of dollars per day. Two milliqus more have been paid over to them to-day, and sufficient funde will be raised by the end of next week to pay off the entire armies operating against Richmond.
