After three days incessant debate on the joint resolu- ion reported by the Reconstruction Committee propos- fg au amendment to the constitution of the United Btates, the House at three o’clock to-day passed the same by @ strict party vote, one bundred and twenty-cight ‘members voting in the affirmative and thirty-seven fm the negative, thus giving a two-thirds majority, ‘as required by the constitution. Mr. Stevens made the @losing specch in more than his usual savage style. He @ommenced by saying that he was pleased to see such gnanimity exhibited by the republican members in re- gard to the general provisions of the bill, but was sorry ‘go eee any objection manifested to the third erection. ‘Be consi this section the vital part of tho whole muatior, and if this was stricken out ‘the bill amounted to nothing. He did not care a snap for the bill without the third seotion, and wouid prefer fim that case to have the whole thing defeated. He de- (pleted scones that had occurred in the House only six years ago, when the same rebels who are now knocking for admission brandished pistols and bowie knives at qpeecbes in favor of universal liberty. mot propared to see these scenes re-enacted; nor was he ‘wilting to sit !n council with traitors whose clothes smelt ef the blood of his kindred. He implored his republican fay of the House seconded the demand for the provious question. The struggle now commenced, Messrs. Gar- ‘Mr, Raymond was going to vote, and when his namo an called and recorded in the affirmative a universal lapping of hands was indulged in by the republican Side of the House, The announcement of the vote was greeted with a storm of applause, both upon the floor of ‘the House and in the galleries. Mr. Eldridge, of Wis- onsin, called upon the Speaker to puta stop to such (proceedings. Juck Rogers huped the colored byethren ené sisters in the galleries would be allowed to wi ‘thelr pockethandkerchiefs, How the republican mem- ‘bers who have declared the third section of the bill un- @onstitutional, unjust and impracticable can justify their ‘votes upon the main question isa mystery. When King ‘Thaddeus, however, cracks his whip they ail have to Wuock under. The two best speeches made to-day were by General Banks and Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, General Banks took @eerded radical ground, and stated that, although he was personally in favor of negro suffrage, the country was mot yet prepared for it, and be thought the committee @4 weely in not recommending it ‘There were only two ways to reorganize the government—one ‘was by enfranchising the negro, and the other by dis- franchising the rebels. He was in favor of the latter, land proceeded to show that this was the position taken by President Johnson in the past. He was listened to ‘with marked attention. Speeches were also made’ by Mossre. Randal! Strouse, Eckley, Beaman, Rogers, Farns- worth and Dawes, ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE UNTIL MONDAY. On motion of Mr. Washburne, of Iilinois, it was voted to dispense in fuiure with evening sessions, and also to edjourn over till Monday, 0 allow the Doorkeeper to pefrorm the usual spring cleaning of the Bouse.

The examination of the Merchants’ National Bank of this city will not be completed ‘till to-morrow. Some rich exposures are threatened. The government loss will pot fall below seven hundred thousand dollare Since the failure of thé institution government officers have been withdrawing their deposits to » considerable extent from the national banks of the city and placing them in the United States Treasury. The National Bank of the Metropolis has been called upon since Monday for over seven hundred thousand dollars, andthe First National Bank of Washington city is re- Ported to have honored drafts fora million ora million andahalf, The fact of such immense sums being left upon deposit with institutions having perhaps not a fourth part of the value put up as security creates no little astonishment, GOVERNMENT NATIONAL DEPOSITORIES. A popular error exists in regard to the designation of government national deposoitries. Many bankers even suppose that the authority to designate such is vested in the Comptroller of the Currency. By refe- rence to section forty-five of the Currency act it will be seen that he has little or no control in the matter. The designation of the national banks to be public depositories, being directly connected with the.disbursement or receipt of national funds, and the whole of this branch of national bank business being transacted in the Treasurer's offiée, it has not been the practice of the Department, we are informed, to advise with the Comptroller upon any designation about to be made, CIRCULAR FROM THE TREASURER OF TH® UNITED STATES TO THE NATIONAL BANKS.

Asan evidence of the manner in which tho proposed new five per cent loan would be acceded to by business men and bankers, it may be interesting to know that a wealthy gentleman of New York has already made for- mal application for two handred thousand dollars, pro- vided it shall be «thirty year five per cent loan, and that he can have his bonds in éonsecative numbers, INDIAN TREATY. ‘The President has prociaimed the treaty recently ne- gotiated with the Bola Foot band of Chippewa Indians, by which they cede to the United States all the lands heretofore claimed by them, and more especially that portion of their territory at and near Lake Vermillion, as a reservation.

It appears from a communication to the Navy Depart- ment, in answer to the resolution of the House calling upon the several departments for information in relation to appointments, that there are employed in the one named sixty-seven clerks, of whom twenty sorved in ourarmy or navy during the rebellion, Further, there is not any among them who were engaged in tho rebellion since March 3, 1865, when ® resolation was passed that soldiers and sailors should have the prefer. ence in appointments, Noone has been appointed in the Navy Department who has not served either in the army or navy.
