BIOKLY CONDITION OF THE RECONSTRUCTION COM- MITTEE. ‘The Reconstruction Committee is :practicaliy bursted ‘op, as the Washington correspondent of the Hera.p prophesied it would be several weeke ago, At their last mecting the members failed to agree upen Robert ‘Dale Owen's plan or amy other plan, and eplit. Now the delegations from each State, sepa- mately, bave agreed to debate upon a plan of feconstruction independently of the committee, and re- port to the House. The Joint Committee has so far Giesolved as to acknowledge tbat a collection of mem- “bers selected at random from the House caz do more 4owards framing a plan than an organized committee an, Thad Stevens acknowledges that his attempt has been.a failure. @MADICAL DESPONDENCY OVER RECONSTRUCTION AF- FAIRS. Prominent republicans here are already writing home ‘to their political friends that reconstruction affairs are eot only in.a bad way, but have become absolutely des- porate, through the folly and bad management.of the gadicala. They advise their friends to return tothe party platform and the policy of Mr. Lincoln, which is substan- ally that of Mr. Johnepn. They now admit that the only practical way out of the difficulty is to admit loyal men ‘ae fast as they present themselves, and are beginning to vanderstand that that ie all the work of reconstruction mecestary. They very pertinently inquire if, by this speans, Congress should be filled with loyal men repre- wenting Southern States, ie it not precisely what all ‘Geeire. THAD STEVENS SHOWING SIGNS OF REFORMATION. ‘Thad Stevens, who of lato has shown «igno of a dispo- ition to mend the error of his ways, spent some time in the Sonate to-day in earnest conversation with several of the prominent conservative members of the body. Sum- ‘per hung around on the outskirts of the party for some time, and tackled Thad as he was about leaving, appar- ently subjecting the erratic member to a lecture. OUR COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH JAPAN. ‘Me President has proclaimed the convention’ between the United States and the empire of Japan for the reduc. tion of import duties.

Sim—A_ bill bas been reported, for the action of Con- im Fespect to the equalization of soldiers’ bounties, Thich will, In my opinion, require an expenditure on the of the government of fromm two bundred to two bun. and Gfiy millions of dollar, thus adding an equiva Jent sum to the principal of the public devt, and requir. ing an additional annual payment for interest of trom fifteen to eighteen millions of dollars. As the relations of the national debt to the industry and resources of the country have been especially reterred to you for con- Sideration, I desire that you will inform me, at your ear- Mest convenience, what effect this proposed increase of ‘the nat.onal debt and anoual taxation i# likely, in your opinion, to have upon the finances and development of the country, and what changes may be necessitated thereby in our future revenue system and policy. Tam, most respectiully, yours, H. McCULLOCH, Secretary of the Treasury Hon, Davi A. Waits, Chairman United States Revenue Commission. The following is the reply of Mr. Wells. Wasmixoros, Arril 23, 1866, Sm—In reply to your note of the loth in retation Qe subject o appropriations {nvolving additional | or Increased taxation permit me to speak without re eerve, ¢ country is now passing through a critical period of Mt financial experionce, and {t seems eesontial that the Brercaition, shoals be Ih borrowing period f henceforth and until ordinary emerrency al expenditures are to be met by taxa Nothing less can satisfy the holders of sustain national credit a wh @ standard as w open to the nation the fes oree of loans for future emergencies,» existing public debt of the United States (taking » imulated wealth and rate of Interest into consider. @i.cn) is now comparatively larger than that of any of the states of the Old World, and is only exceeded in #0! amount by that of Great Britain, It is now pro: }.0°e4 to increase this enormous debt to such an extent that (he anual interest on the addition will be neariy @ 1 10 one-fourth of the average annual expenditures « whole government during tue decade prior ty the beement of the rebellion, The largest amount ue ever drawn {rom the British people in any ene your, ti tive of loans, has never exceeded $ 7° 000,000, while the amount of revenue which the Tocca States has drawn during the first three quarters © ‘he current fiseal year by the various forms of ditect Aol indirect taxation bas been 000,000, or at the Tole of upwards of $540,000,000 per annum. This im- movse sum, in opposition’ to the settled policy of #'! other nations and in defiance of their experience, hes been taken tainly from the industry of the coun- ‘iy. Phe present large receipts of revenue cannot, how ever be secepied as any sure indications of the future ; aud eo long ae they are drawn from taxes on industry they are uo satisfactory indicattons of the prosperity of Races” For the next fiseal year, moreover, a large in receipts arieing from diminished fuporta- changes in values and quantities of industrial pro- and from other causes may be expected.

A red’ op and equalization of national taxation uss tere- Beoome not merely expedient, boi imperative. Cir. cr AMcaces will not, however, ndvoit of a reduction suf- went to give all the relict demanded by the nation being made at once. Hitherto, it hns been already stated, a very larze proportion.of tho revenue has been derived from the taxes on indnatry or the capital which directly supports industry, and Comparatiyely ® small part from spirits, tobacco, Yiquors, legacies, successions and other sources, which all experience has demonstrated jars ld taxed most heavily —, in way arresting the progress of _natio1 lopment, Indeed it may Re asserted that | cient to imsure She oollection of any large revs nue from these latter souross have not yet been enacted, the existing Iaws Being im many respects inoperative upon the statute bogk. Until, therefore, new laws can be enacted and their efficiency proved by experience, many of the worst features of the present revenue system must be retaimed and ‘endured. In order to at present aise taxation a sum sufficient to pay an annual interest of six cent on an addition of two hundred and milhons to the principal of the public debt, viz, fifteen miflions, the present rate of taxation must be maintained on the foltowing erticles or their equivalents, the re- ceipts of the fiscal year 1865 being assumed as the basis f the estimate:—Hats, caps, bonnets, coats, vests, ‘pants, shirts, collars, stockings, gloves, mittens, bi shi Mocassins, salt, cheap soap, starch, paints sf all kinds, paper of alt descriptions, books, magazines, pamphlets, maps, engravings and all printed ‘matter, ploughs, barrows, cultivators’ rakes, winuowing’ mills, hey and straw cutters, trunks, harnessess, ime, cements, building stones, bricks, stoves, prttery ware aud window glass, the revenue from the direct tax_on all these articles for ®e present fiscal year, ending Janie 30, 1865, not having been in excess of $15,000,000. Ii, how- ever, it is wrged that the government can afford to relieve all the abeve ennmerated articles and many dthers from taxation, and still pay the Interest on the proposed addi- tion to the debt, I rep!ythat the condition of the reve- “nue will not at present allow of an exemption of all the tes of life, and-ali the common forms of industry from taxation; and that no principles of political economy is better established than that a tax upon one of the ne- — or indispensable forms of industry is in fact upon all, Under the above circumstances, therefore, tt would seem as if nothing but the salvation of the nation itself could warrant any immediate tncrease of the national liabitities or the people's taxes, Tam, yours most ally, AVID A. WELLS, Chairman United States Revenue Commission To Hon. Huaa McCutzoce, Secretary of the Treasary. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT ON THE PACIFIC RAMLROAD. The Prosident'to-day sent a message to Congress sub- mitting a communication from the Secretary of the Interior in relation to the Union Pacific Railroad Com- pany, Eastern Division. It appears that the Company were requireti to complete ‘one hundred miles of their road within three years after acceptance of the condition of the original act of Con- gress. This period expired December 22,1865. Sixty- two miles hed been previously accepted by the Government. Since that date an additional sec- tion of twenty-three miles has been completed. commissioners appointed for the purpose have examined and reportedupon it, and an application has been made for its acceptance. The fatlure to complete one hundred miles of the road within the period prescribed renders it questionable whether the executive officers of the gov- ernment are authorized te issue the bonds and patents to which the company would be entitled if this as well as other requirements of the act had been observed. This farlure may, to some extent, be ascribed to the fmancial condition of the country incident to the recent civil war. As this company appear to be engaged m the enérgetic prosecution of the work, and manifest a disposition to comply with the conditions of the grant, the President recommends that the time for completing that part ef the road be extended, and that authority be given for the issue of bonds and patents on account of the section now offered for ac- ceptance, notwithstanding the failure, should the com- pany in other respects be thereunto entitled. SENATOR DAVIS’ EXPULSION PETITIONED FOR, Senator Sumner presented to the Senate to-day the petition of certain citizens of the United States to expel Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, from the Senate, for utter- ances, as it is said, used in bis speech upon the Civil Ricbts bill, when returned with the President's veto, Mr. Davis put a clincher upon the matter by exposing the reasoning of the petition. Upon examination of the document it was discovered that thirty-six darkies had adopted this means of exercising their civil rights by impuguing the motives of a Senator, Among the names of the peutioners there were five Moons, five Vincents and five Fenners, making fifteen out of the thirty-six members of three families. The petition savors strongly of a radical artifice. It is time such proceedings in the Senate were held up in their full light before the people. SENATOR DOOLITTLE AND THE WISCONSIN LEGIS- LATURE. 4 A copy of the resolutions of the Legisiature of the State of Wisconsin, dictating to Senator Doolittle the course he should pursue upon the leading questions now before the Senate, and censuring him for his vote apon the Freedmen's Bureau and Civil 2ights bills, were read to-day in the Senate by Mr. Howe, Senator Doolittle bas been acting in his whole course according to the principles of the Legislature that elected him, which was conservative, and, unlike some other members of the body, has held to his principles, despite the uproar raised by a majority of radicals who happen to prevail at this time in the Legislature of his State, GENERAL GRANT'S LATE RICHMOND VISIT. General Grant’s visit to Richmond was marked .with many pleasing incidents and gratifying results, People flocked to see him in large numbers, from curiosity, no doubt; but during his stay he was called upon respect- fully by such persons as Robert Ould, ex-rebel Commis- sioner for Exchange of Prisoners; General Joseph An- derson, of the Tredegar Iron Works; Mayor Mayo, Gene- rals Wickham and Henningeen, Judges Lyons and Mere- ditb, Hill Carter, Walter Harrison and many other in- fivential citizens. The ladies also called upon Mrs, Grant freely, and every one who camp manifested be- coming feelings and sentiments, The railroad company placed @ special car at bis disposal, the Spotswood Hotel assicned him a targe suit of rooms, the Ballard House offered to do the same, and every one vied to contribute to his comvort and pleasure. He dined once with General Turner, temporarily commanding; visited Fort Harrison and other points of interest, and returned well pleased with his visit, EXCELLENT CUSTOMS ARRANGEMENTS AT EURLING- TON, VT. The Treasury Department has received from one of its agenis, who is eminently wel! qualified to judge of and Pronounce upon any matter connected with the Depart. ment, a report in reference to the customs district of Burlington, Vt., which he describes as having in active operation the best preventive system that he has yet seen. Orders from the Department are better under. stood and more rigidly enforced. Seizures of contraband goods are reported daily, and smuggitg has become so hazardous that, when practised at all, it is only ina small way. CONGRESSIONAL CONSIDERATION OF NITRO-GLYCE- RINE. The House Committee on Commerce had the subject of nitro-gtycerine under consideration yestérday, Tal P. Schaffner, oue of the original inventors, was examined at length, and gave much valuable information concern- ing it and what ie known as Nobel's blasting oi, He had never used it except for military purposes, and bad always donbted its safety for blasting. He exhib ted eam- ples of nitro-glycerine to ttt committee, exploded some of it by conensmen, and then put portions of it in a blax- ing fire, to prove that when properly made it was difi- enit to explode, A red hot iron immersed im it had no other effect than to decompose the oll. A plan was sug: gested to prevent forther accidents from Nobel's com pound, and a bill will be reported soon, DEFEAT OF A CHOLERA PREVENTIVE RESOLUTION. Mr. Washburne, of Tinos, a member who bas got up Sconsiderable reputation as an economist, during the session to-day defeated @ resolution appropriating twen- ty five thousand dollars to prevent the advent of cholera into this District, Mr. Washburne and the others who voted against this appropriation have been very free to vote money for the support of indigent contrabands here and elsewhere, PERMISSION NOT GRANTED TO MRS. JEFF. DAVIS TO Vist HER HUSBAND, Tt is Known that Mre. Jeferson Davis has, by letter and through General Dick Taylor, sought permission to visit her husband; but in this sho bas not yet succeeded, the request baving, it ts said, been denied by the Prest- dent for prudential reasons. THE CHICAGO Post OFFICE. The statement that Wilson, of the Journal, has ap- plied for the Chicago Post Office is incorrect. Neither he nor bis friends bave endeavored to dispossess the pre. sent incambent, and there is no prospect of an imme- PARDON GM THR MATOR OF KEW ORLEANS: Tt ie that rpecia) pardons have been granted 1B be gaara 5 New- Orleans. The grave etiarges of attempt to procure the assassiuatton of Commodore Bailey, Unite States Navy, which were brought against Munroe, have been, by evidence of Rear Admiral Farragut and Commodore Bailey, it is sald, refuted to the entire satisfaction of the President. CRIMINALS PARDONED, ‘Te following named criminals were pardoned by the President to-day :— Andrew Masters, indictea for forgery in Missouri; Jacoh Upper, convicted in the Northern district of New York of violation of the Intemal Revenue laws and sentenced to ten days’ {mprisonment, to pay afine of $40 and the costs of the suit; George E.

A CONVERTED RADICAL. F. W. Keltogg, ex'Congressman from Michigan, Chand- ler’s right baud man, now collector of internal revenue for the Mobile district of Alabama, heretofore counted a radical of the railicals, arrived here a few days since from hts temporary Southern home with considerably modified ideas. He insists that Congress must modify the test oath, or that none of the Southern appointees can be confirmed. Secretary SMc- Culloch sent him to the House to-day to express his con- vietions to certain members who were opposing the modification asked for, Kellogg met with rather a cold reception from his former friends, who charged him with having turned copperhead. He replied by telling ‘them they were all apack of insane fools, and should be sent toe madhouse. ‘Things is working.” SOLDIERS’ GRAVES "TO BE PRESERVED FROM OBLITE- RATION. The'War Department has just issued an order relating to graves of United States soldiers, as follows:— All persons engeged in the cultivation of land, who may have the graves of United States soldiers located upon their lands, are hereby forbidden to mutilate or obliterate the traces of such graves by ploughing, or otherwise to disturb the headboards, stakes or fences around them.

TR NORTHERN PACIIC RAILROAD. The House resnmed the unfinished business of yester- day, being the Northern Pacitic Railroad bill. ir. Ketan, (rep.) of Pa., addressed the House in sup port of the bill. At the close of his speech Mr. Stevens, (rep.) of Va, offered a substitute for the Dill, The substituie changes the phraseoloxy of the first section by inserting befor’ the words “shares per mile,” im every place they occur, the words “the inter- est upon;”” adds a proviso to the third section “that no warrants for said lands shall be issued by the govern- ment in advance of the constraction of the several por- tions of the road as required by the charter;’ strikes ont the fifth section and inserts in lieu of it ihe words “the time limited in said charter for commencing the construction of sald railroad and telezraph, and the sey. eral periods iimited for completing the same, are hereby Foapectively extended one year. ' ir. Fanxswornt, (rep) of Ill, made an argument agninst the Dill, relerring to the active exertions of the lobby agents ih manipolating the Chicago Beard of Trade, and procuring from it a elreular requesting mem- be m Illinois to vote for the bill. He had mado a ation of the amount for which the United Stites would be liable ander this bill, and the amount was sixty nine millions and fifteen thousand dollars, Te sent to the desk and bad read an extract from a pamphlet pub- lished by the directors of the company estinuting the value of the land granted at four hundred and seventy- three millions six hundred thousand dollars, and the entire cost of the road at one hundred and twenty mil- lions, leaving to the shareholder: a clear profit of three hundred and fifty-three muliions «ix hundred thousand dollars, This, be eald, was the represeniggion when the company wanted to attract capital, and yWt it comes to Congress now asking further subsidies. Mr, Stavexs ted that @ all that wore true would be an ex security for the guarantee avke from the government, Mr. Fanxswonra replied that the object rought for in | the passage of this bill was @ speculative one. in order that the spresent directors might sell out, as others hind done, He did not believe the country needed a second raiiroad fo the Pacife, and he thought it better that the seventy millions aeked for should be used in digging a canal across the fsthmns, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific, He bad not the this company would build the railroad. sell out its charter, The last interest dollars, and of this bill When the passage would be worth milhons of dollars, he saw the exertions made by lobby agents and unprine.pied adventurers he distrusted the whole thing. For this declaration he was sible here oF cle. —rRiPLit BERRY, Seater’ Z his remarks he referred to the suggestion made . , that ts of the Central Pacific Railroad — ag against this bil, M,, Hiaar, (rep.) of Cal., remarked that if any such in- 10 noe was at wor it would most naturally be addressed ©, members from California, as being most int m terested she matter; but he had not seen ‘agent of the Central bs ac Rallroad, and elieved that no such influence was work. Mr. Spaupaa, (rep.) of Ohio, as one who had been ac- repelled the insint of tively hostile to the bill, any railroad r influence being brought to bear on him, and expressed tho belief t rab no Ql kane company Wi represented here in opposition to the . ir, Doxwenty disclatné? taking any such assertion. He had gimply referred to it as a suggestion that had Made in the cours> of the debate. He continued is speech in advocacy of the bill, and had read by the Clerk the spéech made by Mr. Lincoln to Mr Colfax op the very evening of the President's assassination, in which he said to Mr. Colfax, ‘Tell the miners “om me that I shal) promote their interests to the “imost of my ability, because their prospericy is the prosperity of the nation, and we shall prove in a very few years that we are indeed the treasury of the world.” Mr. Donor, (rep,) of N. Y., addressed the House in support of the bill. He proposed to considcr the matter asa business man. The grant of lands made to the com- pany was a good bargain, if those who had it had been able to carry out the project. But they found that the moment they presented the charter to capltalists the ‘ objection was made that ten, twenty or thirty millions would have to be expended before the lands were made available, The consequence was they could not get American capitalists to invest in it, though they could get British capitalists to do so, the best rail- road men in New England, however, had met in Wor- cester, oxamined the charter, and decided to prevent, if possible, its passing into the hands of British capitalists. ‘They had taken tho charter, paying only the expenses legaily and honorably incurred in preliminary surveys, printing, &. He believed the interests of the company demanded the completion not only of the Central, but of the Northern Pacific Railroad. " He differed entirely with those who supposed that the commitment of the ernment would shake the credit of the country, He ad no hesitation in saying that the aid given by the government to the Central Pacific Railroad had done as much as any other thing to give substantial credit to the government obligations here and in Europe; because capitalists knew that with the opening of a railroad to the Pacific the production of precious metals would be doubled, He believed that if it was known to-day that by some magic the‘Cen'rat and Northern roads could be completed in a couple of years, and that the government had paid a hundred millions to the roads, the fact would strengthen, not diminish, the credit‘of the country. He had no interest, directly or indirectly, in either road; but he knew some of the gentlemen who had taken the matter in hand, and he knew that they expected to put their hands in their own pockets and produce the money to build the road. They were some of the best railroad men in the country, and they sought the passage of the Dill not for ion, but to build the road. Mr. Hunearo, (rep ) of Conn., spoke for five minutes in opposition to the bill. ir. Sarre, (rep.) of Ky., offered an amendment to the ‘second section by adding a proviso that the lands on the north side of said rail |. the proceeds of which are also to be pledged for the payment of the interest gua- ranteed by the government, shal! not be sold except on terms to be agreed on by the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Wasunurne, of TIL, madea strong speech against the bill, denouncing it as the vastest, greatest and most geantc scheme of public plunder ever brought into the louse of Representatives. He warned members of the republican side of the House that they would be held by their constituents to a strict account for their votes on these stupendous appropriations of the public money and for such objects. He undertook to say that if this ques- tion were submitted to the constituents of any member, it would not get a thousand votes. Mr. Hexversos, (rep.) of Oregon, said that nine-tenths of his constituents would vote in favor of it. Mr. Warurvrys, of Ill., would make an exception in the case of his friend from Oregon; but he thought that the people living east of the Rocky Mountains should have some voice in the matter. He gloried in the spirit which Governor Fenton, of New York, had shown in eS the knife of the veto into the corrupt and rotten gislature of that State, and for which he deserved a mouument from the people. Ifthe national Executive would stop vetoing Freedmen’s Bureau bills and Civil Rights bills and veto some schemes of mn that were likely to pass, he would to that extent receive the itude of the American ote Wextwortn, rep) oF He is going to doit, too. | (Laughter. ) Mr. Twarsr, (rep.) of Pa., remarked that he saw on the bills of thesHouse another House till, entitled a bill toaidin the construction of the Kansas and Neosho Valtey Railroad, to connect the great lakes with the Gulf of Mexico, and wanted to knaw whether the gen- tleman from Iiliuois would give him any information about it, Mr, Wasnpunxe, of Ill, declared that he could not, and that it was impossible to keep track of theso railroad schemes, they were so numerous, He wanted to know where all these schemes were to Jead. Mr. Garvirin suggested to the Pacific coast, + Mr. Wasmpourxk—To the Pacific coast ‘in a horn.” (Laughter.) They would lead to the bottom of an empty. Ty. Mr. Wixpom, (rep.) of Minn., suggested something about the Illinois Ship Canal. Mr. Wasunupyr replied that that was an additional reason why he'did not want all the money to go away in the direction of the Pacific Railroad, and mentioned tho the corporators, put in gentleman himeelf had not moved to insert the name of General Grant, instead of McClellan. bi Mr. Wasunurye said thet, although he had no recollec- tion of it, it was very likely; and was an excellent change, If the gentleman was aggrieved abont it, he hoped he would make nis grievance known to his con- stituents, General Grant had told him (Mr. Washburne) that an effort had been made to get from him an endorse- ment of this scheme, but that he had refused to give it. Mr Srevens, (rep.) of Pa., obtained the floor; but he said he was so frightened with terrible pictures, of gor- gons dire and hydras and other terrible beasts, drawn by the gentleman from Illinois, that he did not want to Proceed to-night. Mr. Wasnuvrxe said that, in consideration of his friend’s nerves, he would move to adjourn. MESSAGE FROM THR PRESIDENT. The SPeaKER presented a message from the President transmitting « communication from the Secretary of the Interior in reference to the eastern Yivision of the Pneific Railroad Company. OVERLOATENG RMICRANT SHIPS, Mr. Wasuncrxe gave notice that the Committee on Commerce had prepared a very important bill in regard to overloading pa senger ships, and, as it was connected with ba Papen of ge would gg House to consider it to-morrow, after disposing of the Northern Pacific Railroad bill.
