M, National Bavk Becurities, ‘The Secretary ‘of the Troaxti'y has 'roplied to tho reeo- Jution of the Howse, showing, according to the report of the Comptreticr of the’Ourrency, that from ‘the list day of June, 1866, ‘to fo 23d ‘of January, ingiwat, $1,573,000 ‘tee-twanty's's. per cent bonds, held ae secu My for the ‘circulation"s? national banks, at the vate of ‘pipety conte on the Gear, have been surrendered, and {$2,865,600 in ten-forty five per’ cent bonds have been oposite with the Treasurer as such security at the wate of eighty-five’ cents on the dollar, in lieu of tho Dve-twenty Ponds surrendered. During the same period $8,605,800 in ten-forty five per cent bonds, ‘old-as security for the circulation of national banks, atthe rate of -cighty-five cents on the dollar, bave been surrendered, and in leu thtreof $3,405,200 in five- swenty six rer cent bonds of 1881 have been deposited ‘with tho Treasurer as such security, at the rate of woutiety ‘cowts on the dollar. The sale of ten-forty bonas sander the act of 1864 was $8,141,600, and the premium $105,298, making a total of $3,246,598. There was paid ‘as premium tothe First National Bank of Washington a eommiscion of one-eighth’ of ono: per cent, amounting to $10,177. The Secretary of the Treasury says the Balo of these bonds had not tended to withdraw tho currency from the business of the country, and that tho operations of the Treasury Department for some months past have been such as to diminish rather than ‘40 increase the currency balance in the Treasury, Expected Veto of the Bill Suspending the Further Contrnetion of the Currency. Mis reported, and pretty generally believed, that the President is determined to veto the bill suspending the #orther contraction of the currency, on the ground that 4: te a wide departure trom the road to specie payment, ‘oud, as an advocate of a speedy resumption of specie Payments, he cannot give bis consent to it, Hebel -v es 3 would be highly injurious to the welfare of the co intry @blarge for this Dili to become a inw. ‘Tactics of the Senate on the B éTtseems to be settled that no vote will bo pressed on ‘Momew Reconstruction bill in the Senate until after the Feaults of the Alabama—the first of the State elections In the South—are obtained, If the radical programme 48 endorsed by that State it is doubtful whether the Party here will consider it necessary to pass the bill; Bul if the returns are unfavorable to the exporimeut ‘the new bill will! at once be passed and put in toree, Another Leg al Test of the Consticutionnll: of the Reconstruction Acts.

He commenced by deseribing tho exisiant organization of the governinent power of the United Suates in the legislative departments, quoting statistics oi the elections in past years, from the average of whieh he deduced the fact that, in order property to represent the actual power of ‘both parties, the majority should bave twenty-cight Senators, the minority twenty-six, instead of the former having as at present forty-three to ten in the minority, It was to be expected im sncb majorities that the result would be what it is—that oxtreme and violent men would rule in their councils, Tum great evil could not long exist without some crisis, such as a dictatorship or aparchy. With a fair representation thero would have been, during the war and since, a dif. ferent condition of things. the dedt would ‘not be bait toe present amount, and the country wouid not be disMhited. ihe six 5 tof the Hudson, with au aggregate vore Of 3,135,283, hai twelve Senators, six more than they were entitled to with a proper distribu. tion.

Cancun, (dem.) of N. ¥., dissatisflea with the Glob’s report of his personal remarks yesterday, directed against Mr, Juliau, stated? that those remarks suould have been understood. Phey were, that if the gen- Geman from Indiana (Mr. Julian), or any other gentle- man, felt aggrieved by what be baa said and should choose to call him tO responsibility, he was at his vice, RIGHIS OF AMERICAN CxTIZENS, Mr Baya, (rep ) of Mass, reported back the Dill con- corning the mgbts of American citizens, as printed in yesterday's papers. * Mr. cPALDING, (rep. of Ohio, gave notice that he would rave to amend the second seotion by striking out tho clause empowering the President to retaliate on the subjecis of offending governments, and inserting in lien Ubereof the words, “It shalt be deemed a just cause of war, and the President shall, without unreasonable dolay, give information to Couvress touching the facts a8 they Dave come to his knowiede,’?

Mr, CHANUER inquired whether tho bill would protect Prussian subjects who were liable to sorvice in the Landwet Mr, BANKS Was understood (o reply that it did. He thea proceeded -to explain the bil. It referred, he said, to the general question, pot to any special case arising in Great isritain.’ It was a Very dif- ficult subject, embiacing Atmorican legislation aud the Jogisiaiion of forelgu countries, 80 that it was almost impossibie to devise a compieve remedy, Out of seventy ora huudred propositions made in the House and re- ferred to tuo Committee on Foreiga Atlars there was not a single subject which was understood to present a remedy for the nniversal complaint oa the subject. The Committee on Foreign Affairs did not see an immediate and perfect solution of the diffielty, but presented this bili as the nearest appronch to it. “What class.of people sould tbe goverament of the United Stare: mot under- ct ip loreign countries? It must be ad- man who commits a within a foreign Siate subjects himself to the jurisdiction of that State. So a man who has actually deserted from the army or navy uf a foreigu Power should properly be held by tha’ government shoold he return to the country, pre- cisely a3 under the circumstances be would be held by the Amer can government; but that did not affect pros- pective military obligations. The subject o: a foreign who might be called upon to do military service, and who esnixrated with the kuow.edge and consent of vergment, could not be held asa deserter. For , he himself was Mable todo military duty in | Maswenusetts, but ne was free to emigrate Irom Massa. cuusetts or from the United states, and in so emigrating he cornmitted no crime against Massachusetts, because he owed at tho time be Jest no immediate and positive miliary obligations, there was another cl to which proiection of the American gover wot be extended, That was the cla: of fraudulent naturalization practised preity largely by persons from. and Contral “Awerica, who came to the and procured naturalization for the pur- pove of returning to their own countries and there ex- e.upuing themselves froin military and other obligations; still author class of persons to whoin this protection suould not be extended consisted of those, either nacive ralized, who Wont to reside ia foreign coun- unt of Lhe cheapness of living there, while e drawing ten, tweive or fifieca per cent in- come oa thelr property in the United States, The ques. tion was constantly avked, What were the rights of na- turalized citizens abrosd—the rights of men who become paturalized in good faith and who were acting in good f The avswer was that a naturalized citizen hus exactly the sane rights in foreign countries ag a natural born citizen, ‘The one had no right or privilege which jhe other could not ciaim, and it was ihe frst and highest duty of ' the gev- erament to accord iis protection to the naturalized precisely as to the native bora citizens, The | gentleman fro lowa (Mr) Wilson) had intimated that United Stat-s goverument haa never recognized the right of expatriadon, Tuo judgment of the committee Was exactly the reverse of that. In the very nature of the goverumont the right to emigration and naturaliza- tion, waich together constiiute the act of expatriation, mitted, and bad been exercised since the founda: the goverament. 1! y, that expatriation was not a right ous, becauee il was not the right of at the time of the adoption of the consti- but this wae not recognized as the law of the country. the Executive epariment of the government Dad maintained ihe oppoeite doctrine in almost every case, ne or two distingwisbed puble officers hud yielded to the suggestion of the jadiciel tribunals, and had in their papers recognized in’ tuo English sense the doctrine of opugeation Or naisralizetion; but they had never do- claved if as the doctrine of tho United states, Ho might be wsked why the bil did pot declare the right of expolriition as a right of Americanc was pemectly clear.

Mir. Bram, (rep.) of Mich., foaght strenuously against thé bill, contending that,the land grants proposed to be forfeited were not for tue beneiit of reveis, but for the Deaeflt of the States at large; that the men who built rajlroads under the land grants did not grow rich but poor; that if those lands were to be opened up for bome- stead purposes they would be most likely to fall into the bauds of the very worst rebeis of the South—the poor whites; and that, at all events, nothing should be done in the matter until the States concerned were re- presented in Congress, Mr, ARNELL, (rep.) of Tenn., sent to the Clerk's desk and bad read a Jeter from the Commissioner of the Land Office showing that in the five States nained in the vill there were now over forty-six millions of acres of public lands open to homest settlement—seven millions in Alabama, four milleus in Mississippi, seven millions in Louisiana, eleven millions in Arkausas and seventeen millions in Florida, Mr. Biaik thanked Mr, Arnell for bringing that state- ment to tbe support of bis argument; that the passage of the bill was not required in the interest of actual settlers, as the lands proposed to be forfeited did not amount to one-ninth of the public lands now open in thoge States to actual settlers, Mr. Lawnexce, (rep.) of Ohio, gave notice of an amend- ment restricting the sale of lands by railroad companies, to quarter sections for actual settlers alone, and for not more thau one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre, Mr. Couurs, (rep.).of Ind,, argued iu favor of the bill, declarin: that ho would rather the lands would eoure to the benefit of revel soldiers than of the leading classes in the South. It were men of the leading classes who had plunged the people into rebellion, aud who were now instigating Genera! Hancock in his course of opposition to the reconstruction Jaws Which Congress bad passed, and which Congress intended to entoree. Mr. Doxxety, (rep.) of Minn., sustained the Dill in the interest of the lawless classes of the South, , Mr. Cary took a similar view of the quostion. With. out coming to a vote the bill went over until to-morrow, wnd tueu at baif-past four o’ciock the House adjourned. THE GAINES WILL CASE. UNITED STATES SUPREME count. The Status nud Tithe of Mra.

De La Croiz et al., and Same vt, Lizardi e al., and Same vs, City of New Or- leans.—These cases constitute the seventh, eighth and ninth appeals in the celebrated controversy known ag the “Gaines case,” For more than one third of a cen- tury, in one form or another, this cause has been the subject of judicial decision in this court, until the present complicated and voluminous reeord reaches nearly eight thousand printed pages, It was before the court on mandamus in 1839, and aga in 1841 upon a certificate ot division of opinion. It was here upon demurrer in 1844 and again in 1848 upon its merits, when the deci- sion was iu favor of the complainant as “forced heir” of Daniel Clark. This decisiongvas partially modified in 1851, and im 1835 the wiil of Clark haviog been probated by the Supreme Court of Louisiana, the case was here again in 1860, when the complainaat’s rights as univer- sal legatee, under the will of Clark of 1813, and ber status as bis only legitimate child were fully established. The Court in giving its opinion im that particalar jasue in the case eaid, “fbus, ra litigation of thirty years, bas the Court adjudicated the principles applicabie to her (sre, Gaines’) rights in her father's estate, They are now settled,” The claimant now saya that the defend. ants iu these three cases seek a reversal of the principles that “finally settled ber rights’ in that dec: upd that they come, too, Be ne the very same issues raised by the very same pleadings, and supported by the iv Ucal evidence upon which that case was decided. Thi are more tuan one thousand defandants, it is the Circuit Court of Louisiana, ready to come here for the same purpose, uniess this Court shall reverse or aifirm that decision in such terms as shail conclude the controversy forev One brief 1s presented forall three of the cases, as they present substantially the same issue and pleadings, aud depend upon the same evidence, They come hore upon appeal from the Circuit Court for the district of Louisiana, in which judgment was rendered agaiust the complainant in 1858 and 1860, They are bills in equity, filed against the defendants, seeking to recover certain real estate and stores, and the rents and revenues and civil fruits thereof, which belonged to Dantel Qiark, the father of the complainant, who died in New Orleans in 1813, the complainant claim- ing title thereto under bis last will and testameat. The material ailegations are that the complainant is the only logitimate child of Clark; that all the propert, ht to be recovered therein bel to Clark at his that at his death he left a valid last will and testament, in which the complainant was dectared his ‘‘only legiti- mate child,’ aud made his universal legatee, subject to cortain paymeats, &c., in which Pitot, De La Croix and Bellechasse were appointed executors; that the will having been lost, it was duly retognized and aamitted to probate, as above stated, in 1856, aad ordered exe- cuted; that Clark made a provisional wiil in 18) which he imade his mother, Mary Clark, b r and sole hetr, aud appointed Richard Reif and Beverly Cuew the testamentary executors thereof, which will was revoked by the will of 1813; but that Relf and Chew fraudulentiy obtained the probate of the will of 1811, aud _— administered tue estate under it; that all the dviendants are in possession of some portion of Clark's property, claiming title there:o through wales made by Rolf and Chew, execu. tors of the will of 1811, and as agents of Mary Ciark, claiming under that will, all of which sales are ‘illegal and made fraudulently aud with notice of complainants equities, &e, ; that cumplainant was a minor child until 1827 aod iquorant of her patentage and rights in her father’s estate until 1834, and from that time to the present she persistently claimed. this estate and diligently sought its recovery by wii legal means in her power, a To maiutain her bill she seeks a discovery from ae. fendants and prays for a delitery of the property to her, and for account of the renté and profits and for general relief. Tho suswer of the defendants admits Seasion 0! the property by them, aud that the legal tle thereof was in Clark at his death ; but the defead. ants claiu (oat Clark's ttle passed to them or their granicra by virtue of sales made by Kelf and Chew, as testewentaey oxecutors, a8 above stated; they also sot up cerioin Outstanding tiles in Mary Clark and Caroline Baraws, as forced heirs of Clark, and an equitas ble Lite to two-ty irds of the erty in Reif and Un fad creditors of Cass yir'ue of certain partners: articles of June 19, 1818.
