turned it with his reasons, The message was ordered to be printed and referred to the Committee on Territories. A scene of confusion and merriment followed, buncombe and facetious resolutions being in order, there being no other business before the House. The Civil Appropriation Bill, with Increased Salaries of Members of Congress, and the Bounty Bull, Passed. i The conference committee on the Civil Appropriation Dill this morning reported to the House, recommending the increase of pay of members and the Bounty bill, but Fejecting the appropriation for the Mississippi levees. ‘The report was adopted by the House. Similar action has been had in the Senate. The bill was sent to the President, It was expected that the President would veto the bill, but, contrary to these expectations, he ‘signified his approval of it. Admisai: f Sonator Patterson, of Teunessce. The action of the House in rejecting the joint resolu- tons in favor of Mr. Patterson was returned to the Senate this morning, whereupon the Senator was ad- mitted by a vote of twenty-two to eleven, and imme- diately took the oath and proceeded to participate in the business of the Senate. The Air Line Railroad Bill Tabled in the Senate. The most conspicuous bill of a public nature left out in the cold by the adjournment is the Air Line Railroad bill, for a road between New York and Washington, in competition with the Camden and Amboy and Baltimore and Ohio monopolies, The bill passed the House, but was tabled in the Senate, the money of the monopolies being more potential than the influence of Thad Stevens and Forney, ite special guardians. The Neutrality Amendment Tabled. No time was given for any action in the Senate on General Banks’ neutrality amendment scheme, and that goes over. The Mexican Loan Scheme. Several days ago it became ovidont that Mr. Banks would be unable to get in his report adyocating a loan of fifty millions, or rather an endorsement of that amount, to the republic of Mexico, and its friends of the lobby left here tn disgust. Mr. Banks had the project fully matured and an claborate report written, but was unable to get it in, and the whole subject goes over to the next session. The Minority Report of the Judiciary Com- mittee on the Case of Jef Davis. Jack Rogers, from the Judiciary Committee, with his usual energy and independence, submitted a minority roport to the House on the complicity of Jeff Davis in the assassination conspiracy, The report was ordered to be printed and laid on the table. It is said te reflect severely upon members of the committee for the one- sided and partisan-like manner in which the investiga- tion was conducted, Senator Doolittie’s Ponition. Senator Doolittle took the floor this afternoon on a privileged question, in explanation of his course in ro- fusing to obey the instructions of bis Stato Logistature on the passage of the Civil Rights bill over the President's veto, and in review of the resolutions of that body calt- ing upon him to resign. %a a written speech of consid- erable length he contended for the independence of logisiatass, and argued the honesty of purpose with which he had labored throughout the session to harmon ize the department of the government. He avowed hia Purposezo retain bis seat, come, what might, considering that, in the present disturbed condition of the country, for him to resign would be moral cowardice, His speech throughout was a most admirable vindication of the policy of the administration, which it was doubtles# in- tended to be. His shrowdnoss in getting it in under the guise of @ personal explanation is considered a nice piece of diplomacy. The Radicals and the Veniuns. A Fenian meeting was called for last evening at the Fair Building, eorner of Seventh street and Pennsylvania avenne. This building was given by the government to the tadies having ebarge of the late fair in the aid of the Soldiers’ and Saitors’ Orphan’s Home. The iadies object- ed to the occupation of the building by the Fenians, not yet having removed all the fittings and goods of the fair from it, Mayor Wallach interfered with a police force, and prevented the meéting. Soon after midnight this action was brought to the attention of the House, when @ joint resolution was introduced, granting the ase of the building for the use of all public meeting», com- pletely ignoring ite former transfer to the ladies. The imtroduction of the resolution gave opportunity for ex- tended flattery of the Pen.ane;and it wen Gnally adopted. ‘This morning it was breaght up in the Senate. Senator Jobuson reviewed the facts in the case, and justified the Mayor's action. Senators Nye and Wilsom indulged in prolonged bancombe speeches, Dlarneying the Inab. ‘The joint resolution was finally passed. Fenians Opposed to the Course of the Radicals. A mocting of Irishmen, called ‘in view of the unseru- palous efforts which the leaders of the radical party are making to entice the Irish citizens of the United States from the path of duty in the present crisis in the affairs of our beloved country,”’ is aunernced to be held in this city on Weduesday next, “to repudiate tbe unnatural alliance 80 treacherousty sought and to proclaim their unswerving adberence to the reeonstruction policy of President Johnson."’ Among the speakers announced for the occasion are James T. Brady, Richard O'Gor- man and General McMahon, of New York ; ‘eneral Shields, of California, and others. ‘The New York Naval Office Premature Announcement, ‘The announcement of the sppointment of Colonel Ludlow as Nava OMcer at New York, telegraphed last Bight to the prow, in premature.

Congress has concluded iis unnecessarily protracted ‘Mabors and adjourned sine dic. Up tothe very lest its proceedings wero marked by defeat to the extreme men ‘who carly m the session secured control of ‘the body. ‘These men were totally and uufalteringly opposed to amy adjournment until the constitutional limit of the term was reached, and two months ago it seemed proba- ble they would carry their point. But the late devel- opments of activity in the outside political world, and the acknowledged bad record so protracted a session for political reasons would make, frightened the more ‘weak and timid of the radicals, and led to coalitions that hhave overthrown the power of the leaders and defeated shem in their great irsue. Both houses were in session from eleven o'clock yes- tercay morning until haif-past four thie sfternoon. It ‘would seem that those who counselled and secured the all night session last night overestimated the pending ‘Dusiness, at least so far as the Honse was concerned. ‘The result was that while a hundred and tweuty or more members were kept from their beds all night, there was sufficient business to occupy their attention only at de- tached intervals, in the aggregate amounting to not more than a couple of hours, aud to-day, having been ‘Kept in their seats thus unnecessarily all night, and con- sequently wearied and sieepy, the membery were com- pelled to be within call to constitute a quorum, as the Benate from time to time sent them the result of its ac- on on their all night work. ‘The Senate, with a very larze amount of executive {business on hand, found it difficult to keep vp with the House in matters of legislation. The night was largely spent in executive session, an occasional interval being bad for legisiation, the same as during the day, It has ‘been really hurried and laborious time for this branch of Congress. The tifree conference commitiers ap- pointed in the course of last evening on the Army bill, the Civil Appropriation bill and the Deficiency bill, re- spectively, kept both houses waiting all night. Wilson ‘and Schenck, the respective Chairmen of the two Mili- tary Committees, were members of the Conterence Com- mittee on the Army bill, and, like two schoolboys, neither would allow the other a bite of his sugar-plam, Each insisted on his own bill or nothing, so nothing was offected, and 8 new commitice had to be appointed, Schenck, sill anxious for the credit of introducing Confirmations. The Senate during last night confirmed the fuilowing nominations — Hon. Orville H. Browning! of Ulinoi#, te be Secretary of the Interior on and after the Ist day of September, 1866, at which date the revignation of Hoo. iw to take effect. Hon, Jotn A.

A new commities was appointed, who | of im the course of the night patched up a new bill out of ‘the two submitted to them, which, on being reported thie morning, wa accepted and pasred by both the ‘thousand doliars to pay marshals for taking the census of 1960. ¢ At ten o'clock thie morning the President of the ‘United states proceeded to the Executive room in the Capitol building, secempanied by Cornelius Wen- doll, in order to give prompt consideration to sucb bills W as might de iaid before him, and remained there until ‘the adjournment. At fifteen minutes past four a message war received from the House preposing a joint commities to wait upon ‘the Prosidont and sdvive him of the purpose of Congress to adjourn, provided be has no further buxiness to lay before it The Sengte named Messrs. Harris and Nesmith as their portion of the committee, and the House named Mosers. Morrill and Finck. The committee returned in due time and reported that they had performed the duty confided to them, and the I’resident had !nformed them that he had no further business to lay before the House, ! Speaker Colfax, im conclusion, made a very happy specch, thanking the Houge for the complimentary reao- tution voted him, and wiebing them a safe relrn to their bomen. ‘The closing scenes of the session, including last night's Seasion, were not marked by any special degree of inter. ‘eet, aside from the crowd gathered to witness them, and | the efforts put forth by members of the House to keep themsclvos awake by overdoses of stimulants, thus pro- ducing the contrary effect, and making themselves tar. gets for the missiles of those lest somnolently inclined.

When the doors were opened, Mr. Wiaox, (rep.) of Mas., had the floor and was advocating the equalization of bounties and opposing the increase of compensation to Membors of Congress. He bad been ip the Senate twelve years, yet if he were to die to-morrow he would not leave behind hitm enough to bry @ pine coffin; still he could not vote to increase his own compensation when such @ just demand was ed to the soldiers of the country, "He regarded the action of Congresa in this matier as diegracefol, Mr. McDovGatt, (dem.) of Cal., called Mr. Wilson to order for applying such remarks to the action of Con- ress, on. Feasevnes, (rop.) of Me., said the report was just what the Senate had on, The Senate had, by # large vote and with the aid of Mr. Wiison, voted an in- crease of compensation to Members of Con and by an equally large vote lad defeated the roposition for the equalization of bounties. Some ly else besides the soldiers ought to be consulied on this bounty question. It was his opinion that outeide of the ranks of the army tue people would be found oppored 10 ying $350,000.000 for this purpose. A hundred dol lars to each soldier would give a little pleasure, perbap: fora time, but it would render necessary an amount 0 taxation that would be felt tor yeare. Mr. McDovaaut said he had expressed bis opinion on thie bonnty question a year or two ago. He thought it the duty of ‘and rich alike to serve the country.

If this policy had adopted iu 1861 we would bave had only a twelve months’ war, Mr. Eowunwe, (rep.) of Vt., spoke against the bounty proposition as unjust to many States, bis own among others, Mr. Doourms, sof Wis., offered a joint resolu. ton cailing vu} me Commissiouer of the General Land Office and the Commissioner of Pensions to report to the next Congress a plan for equalizing bounties in land warrants to be lorated along the alternate sections of Jand om the lines of railroads.

Mr, Bawxs went on to state that the Senate committee had received instructions 1 sented to the demand of the House on the question of bounty. He believed that the provisions embodied would be entirely satisfactory to the friends of the bounty; that it was carefully drawn, and would be ‘ound to be just to the soldier and to the government. The second Fg nnd related to the compensation of members. These were the only two propositions on which the Conference Committee had deliberated. It was not till within the very last moment, certainly within the last forty-five minutes, that he was called upon to decide, not on that question morely, but on the question whether ere should be an agreement on the of the Conference Committee, and his dificulty was increased from che fact that the House had been along time walting and that the limitation of the Senate was close at hand He was compelled, therefore, to yivld hie judgment to the wishes of the Committee of Conference. The conterees on tho part of the Senate, he should way, did not de mand, a8 a rine qua non, the adoption of the proposition iu regard to salaries, but expressed the strongest belief that any other proposition than the two coupled together would ‘be unsatisfactory w the Senate. It was therefore left for him to say, at the last moment, whether the committes should have to report » dinagroe. ment or whether he sbould assent to the proposition, and he took the responsibility of assenting to the proposition of the Senate in regard to salaries. lad the affair been left tohis own judgment at the commencement of the conference he should not have reported it, but being called upon to decide at the last moment, he though tH bis duty to report, aud he had therefore sigued it with his colleague yn ‘the other side (Mr. Nibinck). The Chairman of the committee (Mr. Wilson) had uot signed it, Mr. Wrison, of Towa, said that be had opposed from the beginning the amendment increasing the salaries and had opposed every proposition on that subject’ im bo hb conferences. While the provision in respect to bounty was not as completo as he desred, still te thought it better than the Houre bad any reason to expect from the Senate, It was because of his opporition to that feature of the report which increaved the salaries of inenbors that ho withheld his signature from the report Mr. Hanks felt It his duty to ray that eich bad been the determination of the Chairman of the committes from the commencement of the deliberations, The re port would have been different, but the Senate commit tee had expressed the feeling that it would be play with them somewhat in bad faith if they were com- pelied at the last moment to forego Uhat provision, and he therefore al, Mr. Nunace said that, like his colleague, he felt some- What embarassed in regard to the report, rnach in it whieh did not meet his appr beeu enough discussion in regard to t compeurat convince bin that it was the intention of the present Congress lo tnereate walarios some time before the fourth of March next, He believed tie question might ax well be met now ar at any other time, ‘The provision ax to bounty did not come up fully | 10 bis views, but «til, ae & compromins We weepted it, } and as 0 compromise he aceapted the whole report 1, Mr. Conmtixa inquired whether, ax « matter of fret the managers ou the part of the Mouse had found it | necemtary, in order to come toa raport, to agree Ww ihe propovition for the increase of nalary.
