VER RBCONBTRUCTION QUESTION IM THE HOUSE. Very litle business wae transacted im either brauch of Congress to-day. Mr. Raymond made a two hours’ gpeech in opposition to the constitational amendment, ‘which is pronounced one of hie most argumentative Gora. He took strict constructionist democratic ground, aad denied the right of Congress to exercise any aathori- fy not expressly delegated in the constitution. The (power to prescribe any terms oF conditions on which ‘Glane 0 State should be entitled to representation was, in Ris opinion, neither expressed nor implied, and could wet, therefore, be rightfully exercised. The passage of @e amendments would give Congress no power to ex- @ede representatives which it did not now practically peasens, since ne member could be admitted in opposi- filen to a two-thirds vote. THR TARIPY BILL—THB RISK IN GOLD. ‘The Ways and Means Committee have decided not to Fepert upon the question of adjourament unt)! the Tarif (Oi) ta eafely through the House. The committee to-day hed under consideration the question of additional pro- @eetion on wool, They will probably be able w report he Dil) some time this week. A compromise has been @Hected between the woulgrowers and the manufac- turera, ‘The sudden rise in the premium on gold is supposed By many to be partly attributable to the fact that the ‘Ways and Means Commitice had agreed that the ‘pew Tariff law should come into effect immediately after Ma passage. It is estimated that there are nearly a bun- Ged miltion dollars worth of goods in bond in New ‘Fork, which wll account for the scare in the market, A strange fact in connection with the matter ia that the @ommitt e, previous to their determination om the sub- feet, had sworn cach member to secrecy in the matter; Bat before they left their rooms the fact wae known in ‘Wali ptroet. ‘THE TAX BILL. ‘The amendments reported w-day from the Senate Committes on Finance to the House Tax bill are nome- wean The following sre some of the most material @hanges proposed, nomely:— A tax of two instead of five cents a pound on cotton. fect or incomplete lists or revirns may be cor by the nemessor at any time within two youer.

THE DEATH OF LEWI8 CAR8—ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT. The following was issued this morning: Davanraest ov Stars, } ‘Wasurxcron, June 18, 1866. The President directs the undersigned to perform the inf! duty of announcing to the people of the United ‘tates hat Lewis Cass, distinguished not more by faith- ful services in varied public trusts than by exited patriotism Tecent period of political disorder, de- Vt parted this life at four o'clock yestel morning. ‘The several executive departments of the government will cauae appropriate honors to be rendered to the memory of the deceased at home and abroad, wherever the national name and authority ure acknowledged. WM. H. SEWARD, PAY OF STAFF OFFICERS. ‘The Second Comptroller has decided that staff officers are entitled, on discharge at the expiration of their term of service by reasan of the close of the war, to the pay proper of their staff rank, under the act of March 3, 1865, providing three months’ pay to officers thus dis- charged, This {8 in precise conformity with decisions mado in 1815, as to officers in the war with Great Britain, and in 1849, as to officers in the Mexican war. q FUNERAL OF COLONEL SEATON. The funeral of the late Colonel W. W. Seaton this afternoon was attended by a very large number of per- sons, including Secretary Seward and others of public Prominence. His remains were followed to the Con- gressional Cemetery by the Mayor of Washington, ex- Mayors Weightman and Force, the City Councils, the Association of Old Inhabitants, and the Society of Defenders of Washington ih the war of 1812, of which Colonel Seaton was an honored member; the Knights Templar and Columbia Typographical Society attended in full number, The funeral was one of the largest ever witheesed in Washingion on tho death of a resident. The courts adjourned as @ mark of respect for the deceased, THE REBEL DEBT. The Prevident to-day sent a message to the House in Trespone to a resolution concerning the provisions of law and ordinances of the /ate insurgent States, on the sub- Ject of the rebel debt, so called. The following facts are gathered from the papers enclosed:—On the 19th of October last the North Carolina Convention passed an ordinance prohibiting the payment of all debts created or incurred in aid of the late rebellion. In the Legisla- ture of South Carolina in December a resolution reported by the Committee on Federal Relations was passed to the effect that they had not the necef-ary Infor- mation to enable them to act advisedly in rolation to repudiating the debts incurred in support of the re- bellion, They called on the Comptrollog General to fur- nish it, and until it should be forthcoming they could make no definite recommendations upon the subject, The Georgia Convention in November paseed an ordi- mance rendering it null and void all debts created for purposes of carrying on the Inte war against the United States. Tho Logislature, besides, passed an act prohibit. ing inany way the payment of the money. The Con- vention of Alabama passed an ordinance prohibiting the assumption of any part of the rebel-debt. The Florida Convention in November declared the debt null and void, ‘The Mississippi Convention in August repealed the ordi- ‘nance of secossion and the Legislature passed a law pro- hibiting the treasurer from paying any debt until author. ized to do #0 by that body, From the papers in possession of the State Departinent it doeg not appear the treasu- rer has been ordered to pay any part of the debt ‘ncurred im the Jate rebellion. The Texas Convention declared the Confederate debt null and void. COLONIZATION OF NEGROES. ‘The President to-day transmilted to the Senate a com- munication from the Acting Assistant -ecretary of the Interior respecting transactions for the. tranzplanting, colonization and settlement ef persons of the African race. The report is made im response to a resolution of the Sonate, @ states that s report was made to the Pre- sident on the $th of March, 1864, a2 to how much bad beem expended of the eppropriation mad@ by Congress for colonization purposes; that up to thet datethe sum of $83,226 bad been drawn from the Treasury, and a sopplemental statement had been made, bringing the total up to $37,301. The report says that the ace of 1862, which provide for the colonization of persons of African descent beyond the limits of the United States, have heen repealed, and no measures have since been adopted and mo steps taken by the Department looking to teat result. ri ‘THE FUNDA OF THE NEW ORLEANS BANKS. It will bo recollected that several weeks ago the Treasury Department delivered to the banks of New Or- leans between three aud four millions of Lovisians State bonds, which had been deposited by the banks with the State Auditor as security for their circulation. These Donds were part of those captured by General Sheridan at Shreveport. It has now been decided to deliver the remaining portion, amounting to about a million and a half, to the State Auditor, the propor identitication hay. ing been made.
