Report in Relation to the Coin of the Richmond Banks. Reception of the New Spanish Minister by the President. . &e. ke. ae. Wasnmerox, March 18, 1867. ‘The Recoustraction Law. "Mao delegation appointed by the Legislature of Vir- ginia called yesterday on the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, The interview was of a highly satisfactory ebaracter, aud the latter was assured of the earnos: ‘tien of that State to return to her place in tho Uni under the terms proposed by Congress. Tho deleg: Just previous to their returning to Richmond, v' President Johnson, who, according to the siatemel ene of the members of the delegation, said that, not’ standing his opposition to the Reconstruction bill, it was mow a law of the land, an@ he should faithfully execute %; that be thought the Legislature had done right by promptly accepting its term, Which he hoped would tend to alleviate the bitterness produced by the late war, and et an carly day restore the Southern States to all their re- lations to the federal government. From Richmond to.night I learn that the officers of the Virginia State Department, accompanied by several members of the Legislature, were to-day officially ‘troduced to General Schoileld. The call for a eonvention was approved of vy the Genera). He ad- ‘vised the Assembly to continue in session. In relat:on to elections he said nothing, the subject being under consideration. Asscrances of good feeling were given ‘By both parties. It is staced from Georgia that Alexander H. Stephen @pposes the views and opinions of Governor Brown on reconsiruction. The New York Custom House Investigation. lmpeachinent seems to be all the rage, aud some vic- tim, it is supposed, must be found on which Congress- fenal wrath may light and expend itself. Collector Smythe, apparently, is to be the unfortunate wight thus to be encrificed on the altar of legislative vengeance. The statements made to-day by the late chairman of the Committee on Public Expenditure challenged the atten- tion of the House, and apparently excited a determina- tion among ceriain members to have a thorough devel- opment of the facts involving all who are implicated, and a removal of the Collector by Congressional im- peacbment. Mr, Schenck stated, among other things, ‘mm a very positive speech, that this was the only way of getting rid of Mr. Smythe, and that he believed the moro glaring the improprietics fixed upon Mr. Smythe ‘the more obstinate would be the President in retaiuing Aim in office, The point was made by Mr. Hulburd that Mhough Senators Doolittle and Patterson denied ‘hat they had received any money or bene- fite from Mr, Smythe, yet they did not deny ‘that there was an arrangement whereby they might be tm receipt of a etipulated sum. Mr, Hulburd stated that be had been approached with the offer of testimony that ‘would bring the matter closer home. One of the most weriour grounds of offence scems to be the alleged Dribery of a House reporter, named Hemstreet, who, it is wbarged, furnished a portion of the testimony taken to Mr. Smythe for a coustdcration. Mr. Smytbe stated to the committee that a lady had come to see him and had @ven to him a roll of paper containing some of the teen- mony, for which she demanded $15, and that he had paid the money. The matter is evidently a sensational ‘ene, and it will be worked up as interesting for Congres- sional gossip and available for political capital, Phe Reported Over Issue of Government Bonds and Securities, The impressions which prevail in the banking circles aro to the effect that there have been no issues beyond the amount reported im the official documents of the Department, and that the system of checks, which is used tn the Bureau, renders euch over issue impossible, ‘except by collusion between five different officials, ‘Mrough whose hands they pass, and by each whom ‘they are counted. The amount of interest, which is paid every six monte, is also a check by which the fraud would ‘Be likely to be detected, if committed. Bnt, as money @s readily borrowed on these bonds, the latter chock might not be effective, as the party hypothecating the Donde might withhold the coupons from the Treasury, ‘end still borrow money upon them. The conclusion, ‘Mberefore, is that if there is any large over issue of either Donde or currency it has been effected by the collusion ef at loast five or six officials; and as there has been no Budden depariure of any except the clerk Lee, who @dtained the bonds be had in an entirely different mode, ‘the report 1s discredited in banking circles, and ts at- tributed to the efforts of the bulls im gold, in Wall and Broad streets. Reception of the New Spanish Minister by the President. Senor Don Facundo Goni, the vewly accredited Eavoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of her Catholic Majosty to the United States was received by ‘Whe President to-day upon which occasion he spoke as follows — Ms Presipexi—I have the honor to place iv your Bands the liter of credence from her Majesty the Queen of Spain, mY august sovereign, which arcrodits me ag her Envoy Fixtraordinary and Minister Venipoten- Biary to this repnblic.

To prevent, if possible, a step which Mr. Kimg mys know would excite a great deal of feeling at home, and gubject our countrymen at Rome to much annoyanee and inconvenience, and at the same time to give thomselves at least the color of right to assemble where ihoy did for religious worship, he di- rected the arms of the American Legation to be placed over the building im which the American chapel is located. This seems to have satisled the requirements or seruples of the authorities, and thus far no one has interfered with them, nor does he belicve that they shall be disturbed during the present season. The authorities may possibly hereafter insist upon the rule that the worship shal! be held under the minister’ roof, He says one solution of the difioulty has been suggested. This is to purchase or hire for a term of ybars a building for legation purposes, including ample accommodation for a chapel, Under such an arrangement there would be no further question as to the right of American Protestants to assemble for public worship within the walls of Rome, while an official reel- dence might be provided suitable to the position of the American Reprereutative at the Papal Court, one not unworthy the character, dignity and influence of the American government and people.

Tho President to-day communicated to the Senate farther correspondence in answer to the resolution of January 31, namely, a letter from United States Consal Charles 1, Upton, dated Geneva, February 27, 18€7, as follows :-— Sik] have the honor to forward to you in compliance with the request of the signers tue enclosed paper.

OLAMB AGAINST TUU GOVERNWRNT, nt, which was refer , me! ced to the Committee on Foreign ‘THE NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE INVESTIGATION. Mr. Hutaurn, (rep.) of N. ¥., offered a resolution re- questing the S'geaker to the Committee on Pub- Nie Expeoditares, and such committee take into consideration the m- igen, explaining hi meray made by the committeo into the affairs of the New ‘ork Custom louse, and to the card issued by Collector Smythe, c! jng the committed with @ spiteful animus, because of his inability to make all the appointments that the committee had asked for, That was a grave charge; but there was not a shadow of foundation for it. The committce had never asked an appointment from Mr. Smythe, which he did not make; but, on the con- trary, he had tendered to them appointments which they nover received. Referring alao to the denial of Senators Doohttle and Patterson that they had not received one copper from Mr, Smythe, he sad the committee had never made such charge, The committee had simply reported the fact that Mr. Smythe testified that ho had intended to certain suin those Senators, and they had not dent d that there w° ao arrangement of that kind, He dismissed that part of the subject with the simplo remark that, on the supposition that tie commit tee was sti!l in existence, he bad veen approached with the offer of testimony which wonld bring that matter yet closer bome, Ing tothe cherge made by Mr. Smythe that part of bis testimony had been suppressed and all of tt distorted, he a d there was any truth In it, and asserted that Mr. he nad bi vited to come before the committee, and to make the fullest stavement; that he had done so, and had subse quently come to the committee room and revised his testimony, striking out and inserting Ww chose. In this connection he sent to the Cier and had read a letter from an assistant to the stenographer making similar denial an see: i The only part of Mr. Smythe’s testimony sup- pressed was the answer to a question a5 to whether he bad evar mado any prosents to the fai! of Senators, that answer being “Yes, sir; I once gave Senator Patterson's lady forty conts worth of candy.’* Me (Mr, Hulburd) had thought that so impertinent, °o flippant, so mean, that he bad directed the reporter not to take down that answer, All of Mr. he’s testi. mony was in the hands of the public printer, except a portion referring to his having improperly procred from an assistant to the reporters a report of his tesil- mony, after having been refused it by the commitice. He declared that the Custom House in§Wall street was under Mr. Smythe’s administration recking with corrup- ant that Ip reference to the bonded warehouse 083. a more flagitious, improper, disreputable and racefal transaction than that shown in the testimony bad never been made public. He also declared that the evidence showed that while Mr. Smythe took an oath every month that he received nothing fem &e., he actually did receive ovary two” hundred and fifty dollars from that source, which money was banded to his secretary pt it til the monthly oath had been taken by the Collector, and then paid it over by checks or otherwise. Fe would never forget the indignation he fell when a witness testijed that Mr. Smythe had snid to him, “Tam damned sorry that I ever undertook to carry the President’s daughters.” Mr. Smythe, to be sure, denied that be had said so; but the witness sad to bim, “I do not know what you thought—I do not know what occasion you had to say so—but I do know that you used those very words. ”? The hour allowed for debate having closed. Mr. Hulburd was, on motion of Mr. Cuaxtur, (dem.) of N. Y., permit- ted to continue his remarks. Referring to the game of Mre. Perry as connected with the investigation, he eaid she was no myth. Her veritable presence in the Executive chamber was proved more than once. and the soft words: there spoken to her. It was in proof that she was to have shared one-third of the profits of the “general order business,” and one of the witnesses had told him ofter he left tho stand that Mrs. Perry had a written acreemest to that effect, and that the President of the United States had read that agreement. He characterized Mr. Smythe as avompire, sucking out the life blood of the commerce of New York, hampering commerce and making it sub- ordinate to his own personal acgrandizement and to political objects, In concinsion, he relieved the official reporters of the Honse of al! blame in tho matter to which he had referred, The person who had improperly furnished the testimony to “ir. Smythe had been only temporarily empioyed, and bad been dismissed even before the matter became known. Mr. Cnanter obtained the floor, and declared him- self an advocate of the reform which the report of the committee contemplated. Mr. Woon, (dem.) of N. Y., obtained the floor, but yielded it for other propositions.

ORDNANCE FOR THE GOVERNMENT—THK MILITARY COMMITTEE, Mr. Logay, (rep.) of Ml., offered a resolution for the immediate appointment of «che Committee on Military Affairs, and that it be authorized to sit during the recess, for the purpose of inquiring into the mapner 0 procuring heavy ordnance for the United States service, the dis- bursement relating thereto, the quality of the rifle and smooth bore guns heretofore introduced, and - hereafter to be introduced, with power to send for persons and papers and to employ a clerk, and directing the Secretary of War tocause experiments to be made, etc. Mr. Expripce suggested that this duty was now cona- ded to experienced and capable officers, and that it could bo better ed by them than by the Committee on Military Affairs, Hesides, he did want Congress to be made perpetual by its committees or otherwise. Mr. Scurnck, (rep.) of Ohio, suggested the appointment of a joint select committee on ordnance. Mr. Logan objected to that, because it required the concurrent action{ the xenate. Mr. Sougxck had no objections to the Committee on Military Affairs being appointed now if blanks were leit for one or two members. The Srraker repeated the idea he had expressed some days ago as to the impossibility of appointing .frac- mentary cominittecs, It was something that. so far as he knew, had never been attempted by Congress or any other parliamentary body. If he should leave the second place on the Committee on Military Affsirs vacant, and the person for whom he jatend@! it (mean- ing Mr. Deming, of Connecticut), should not be elected, the person electod iv his stead would probably claim t place, and unless be got it the “peaker would be com- pelled to change the uumerical position of every member of the committee. After. some further discussion Mr. Logan moved the phy question, but the House refused to second it by Mr, Buaiwe then moved to postpone the resolaiion until the first Monday in December next, and on that he moved the previous question. Pong apeerg ape was seconded by 65 to 84. Mr. Braixe then sought to modify his motion by sub- stituting for “the first Monday in December next” “the igh y of the next session,”’ but the rules prevented is do! Mr. n. iug 80.

Report of Mr. Van Wyek, ef the Committee on Retrenchment. Wa , March 15, 1867. Mr. Van Wyck, from the Committee on Retrenchment, to which was referred the claim of the Richmond banks to certain coin now on deposit in the United States Treasury males the following report:— On the 14th of March, 1865, the Legislature of Virginia passed an act ‘authorizing a loan to the Commonweaith of $300,000 in gold and silver coin by tho several banks, and the application thereof to the use of the Army of Northern Virginia,” ordering the Auditor to pay over the same on the footing of a loan to the Confederate States, either to the Secretary of War or to the General- in-Chief of the Confederate Army, as the Governor may deem most expedient, to be used exctusively for the pur- pose of procuring subsistence for the Army of Northern Virginia, directing the Governor ‘to obtain from the Confederate authorities the best securities they may have it in their power to offer.” Accordingly seven banks farnished $300,000, re- ceiving State bonds as security therefor, $100,000 of which is now in the Treasury of the United States, and is the subject of this report. The money was deposited by the State to its credit in three banks, then public de- positaries, as follows:—Bank of Virginia, $108,000; Farmers’ Bank, $112.000; Exchange Bank, $30,000. ‘'The Secretary of the Confederate Treasury caused to be fo ah to the Governor of tho State the following order:— Treascry Deranturnt ©. S. cy} Bicuwonp, March 28, 1865, A, Roawx, Esq., Chief Produce Loan Rereau:— Rin—The State ot Virginia has advanced $200,000 in coin to the gwrernment, for the use of the Commissary Departe mont, ind agrees to receive, in absolute payment for the same, cotton,jat the rate of fifteen cents per pound, Youare hereby authorized to give an order to the fiscal otficer of the State for 2,000.00) pounds of eotion, in payment of the same, &e. Ge AL ENHOLM, Secpetary of the Treasury. Captain Strother of the confederate army, had authority to receive the $300,000. Just betore tho evacuation of Richmond he did receive $271,000, the banks retaining $29,000. He disbursed $25,00mpt Rich- mond, leaving $246,000, of which $64, as in checks drawn by the Bank of Virginia, and the Exchange Bank, on their branch at Lynchburg. Captain Strother left Richmond on the 2d of April, 1865, with this sum under his control, in company with officers of the bank, who had in chare between two and three hundred thousand dollars, in coin, belonging to the banks, each party in control of its own fonds. At Danville, on the 8th of April, Captain Strother agreed, with the officers of the banks, that in the event of his being cut of from General ‘Lee’s army, he wouid restore the remain@er of tne fund to them, to be credited on the bonds of the State which the banks held. They then proceeded to Washington, Georgia Captain Strother, on the 2ist of April, 1865, had remaining $222,929, which he paid to the bank officers, taking a receipt for the same, stating that the same should cregited on bonds, “provided the said coin and specie checks shail be delivered in Rich- mond.” There was po statute authority authorizing this payment by Captain Strother, The bank oflicers cancelled and destroyed the checks for $54,000, and held the remainder of the fund, together with their own coin, In Vay, 1865, the banks of Richmond obtained a per- mit from General Patrick to bring their effects: from Geor; and started with the ‘coin, about $450,000; of this $170,000 was of the fund received from Captain Strother. About eighteen miles from Washington they were robbed by confederate soldiers disguised in Federal uniforms of 000 in coin. Of this $105,000 belonged to the mk of Vir- inia, $145,000 had belonged to the Strother ‘und. The day after the robbers restored to the bank officers $111,000 of this; one bag of $9,000 was identified as the property of the banks; the re- mainder could not be so identified. After paying ex- penses the fund recovered amounted to about $100,000, subsequently delivered to General Steedmman at Augusta, and now on special deporit In the Treasury. This matter bas been several times argued by attorneys for claimants and the government before the Secretary of the Treasury and the President. ‘The above facts are those agreed Bor. at the last arga- ment. The bad faith commenced Captain Strother ‘was continued by the banks, At one time their petition stated “that there existed no coutract or dealings between the banks and the confederate government by which it ‘was entitled to or had an interest in one dollar of the money in question."? The officers of the banks verified by their oath this statement. yet their crror is apparent from their own subsequently admitted facts, They always turnished affidavits from the officers of the Con- federate Treasury Department that the com had not been under ther control. From these allegations the Solicitor of the United States Treasury then said:—"tAs to any interest of the confederate ernment in the coin, the only reason for supposing it apy such ever existed appears to be the fact that the colt yo eige | from Richmond simultaneously with the di aire of the rebel authorities therefrom; but this was certainly in no way inconsiatent with the private ownership asseried. The latter fs di and positively asserted -. the sworn statement of the officers of the banks app ying and the former te negatived go far as it well coul y the statement of @ person tm the employ of the rebel jury Department. « the "Presitent of the United States then issued an order for the restoration of the coin to the banks on cer- tain conditions which, in the judgment of the United States Treasurer, were not complied with. Certain United States officers were still suspicious, and satished that the coin had to the confederate govern- ment, when it was at Inst discovered that the negotiation bad been carried on with the confederate War instead of the Treasury Department. This concealment and ee on the part of the banks show the character of the claim, There can be no dispute that tho banks loaned the State of Virginia $300,000 in coin, exprossly to be ad- vanced to the rebel government. The banks received the State bonds as security, and the State received a mn order for 2,000,000 pounds of cotton in pay- ment, The contract was complete in law. From that moment the coin became forfeited to the United States government. Before the 21st of il, to wit, on the 9th, Lee had surrendered; on the Ith Jobnson commenced negotia- ting for surrender; the chief of the confederacy was disguised and in flight; the headquariers of the rebol- lion, with all its hopes snd treasure, wero in an army wagon Lear, beg ret beyond the mae It is idlo to pretend that Captain Strother bad the shadow of right to act as administrator of tho effects of the déad confederacy and defraud thie government of tie legal spoils of war, After the surrender of Lee all the prop. erty of the confederacy, by that act, passod to the control of the United States government. Strowner had no more right to give to the Richmond banks $223,929 than he had to give them 223,000 muskets had they been in his possession. It was a fraud upon the gov- ernment; the agente of the banks were particeps crimi- nis, and whe banke shoud not derive any mterest there. from.

It would be an eesy matter to have a robvery by concert.
