Messrs. Shorman, Stewart, Johnson, Saulsbury and McDougal spake in faver of the reconsideration, The introduction of this question into (he Senate has created great consternation among the extreme radicals, and these are indications in the issue that it will greatly weaken their power henceforth in opposition to the President. Immediately after the vote Mr. Henderson moved to adjourn, which was carried. The further dis cussion of the merits of (he amendment offered by Mr ‘Trumbull will be continued to-morrow, It ik believed that this reopening of the subject will be the means of Mite defeat.

The statement last evening in regard tothe action of the cashier of the First National Bank of thie city is claimed to be somewhat incorrect. As stated the request was made by the officers of the Merchants’ National Bank to ‘wansfer one hundred and fifty thousand instead of two hundred thousand dollars to the Merchants’ National Bank, which was declined, Afterwards the officers of the Merchants’ National Bank made a confidential exhibit of their affairs to the cashier of the First National Bank to obtain bis advice for Co onel Paulding in regard to the transfer. The cashier ex- plained the true condition of affairs, and declined to assume any responsibility whatever in regard to it, and he told Colonel Paulding he could do as he chose, If he saw ft to draw the checks of course the bank could do no less than pay. them. It may be stated in this connection that Mr. Bayne, of the firm of Bayne & Co, of Bgltimore, whose failure caused the failure of the Merchants’ National Bank, was, togethar with Oscar King, a director of the Merchants’ National Bank, and@ a bondman of Colonel Paulding. ‘The following order in relauon to the case will speak for itself and exhibits a commendable alacrity ou the part of the government:— SPECIAL ORDERS—NO. 211, War Darantaunt—AbsUTANT by a Sov iges } Wasninctos, May 7, 1866. 17.

He introduced a resolution direct- ing the heads of all departments to furnish a list of ali their employes, male and female, what their antecedents were, and upon Whose recommendation they were ap- pointed. Ostensibly this is a move to get at the number of department clerks who have been tainted with disloy- alty, with a view to their removal.
