Debate in the Senate on the Funding Bill. ‘The Alleged Fictitious Destruction of Govern- ment Bonds Pronounced a Hoax by the Retrenchment Committee. WasnincTon, March 11, 1868. ‘The Presidentv’s Trial. ‘The question of the pumber of days to be allowed ‘the President to prepare his trial excites far greater interest in the House than in the Senate, The man- ‘agers will do all in their power to drive the case for- ‘ward as rapidly as possible. They are already stipu- lating that ten days is all that shall be allowed, and they hope to succeed in this design; and it is the intention of the House to take a recess as soon.as the investigation commences. The radical Senators are not sanguine of being able to hasten the matter, nor of a conviction. It ts almost certain that six republican Senators will vote con- servatively on questions involving the President's rights, many concede that the same nufnber will fail the party on the final issue. There is no feeling of elation among the impeachers in view of the testimony that will be taken in reference to the President's Western tour. It is certain that all the facts concerning that journey will be developed, those tou General Grant and other distinguished voyngms at the time it was asserted that the Gen the party at Cleveland in disgust. ‘The s switching off and turning up at Detroit must come out in the progress of the trial.

The Abolition of Taxes on Manufactures. ‘vhe Finance Committee of the Senate discussed day the bill passed by the erday repealing the tax on manufactures, The commitice regard the proposed change in the law of so much importance that they will consider it fully before reporting it to the Senate. The main point on which they want to be satisfied is whether the repeal of tie tax will affect the revenue to such an extent as to necessitate oncrous taxation on other things. Itis possible the bill will be amended, but it will no doubt be passed nearly in the same shape as it came froim the House. The Senthern Mail Service. The Post Ofice Department to-day ordered the Ba!timore and Washington mails for and from New Oricaus to be transferred to the route via Lynchburg, Va., und Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tenn., the Tailroad companies having submitted a new schedule and promising sure connections in the future. The mails between New York and Philadelphia and New Orleans will continue on the route via Louisville, Ky., until the performances of the Knoxville route under the new schedule shall have been fairly tested. Biplomatic Appointments Confirmed, The Senate in executive session to-day confirmed the nomination of J. Ross Browne as Envoy Extraor- dinury and Minister Plenipotentiary to China, and Charles .k. ‘Tuckerman, of New York, as Minister Resident io Greece, ‘The Admission of Montana Into the Union. John P..Bruce, of Virginia City, Montana, 1s here for the purpose of obtaining an enabling act for the admission of that Territory into the Union as a State.

Mr, WILLIAMS, (rep.) of Oregon, called up @ bill to amend the judi act of December 24, 1789. He explained that it had been prepared at the instance of the Treasury Department, and that it authorizes writs of error to be taken to the Supreme Court, where suits were brought in regard to the collection of internal revenue after the money had been paid into the Treasury. The bill was passed. THE PROCEEDS OF CAPTURED AND ABANDONED PRO- PERTY.} Mr. Epmunps, (rep.) of Vt., moved that the Senate non-concur in the House amendment to the bill di- recting that the pracenanine captured and abandoned property be paid into the Treasury, and that a com- mittee of conference be appointed. ‘Mr. TRUMBULL, (rep.) of IL, moyed as an amend- ment that the Senate agree to the House amend- ment, which strikes out the auprepriadan of $100,000 to the use of the Secretary of the Treasury in defend- ing snits against the same, &c. ‘The motion was lost—16 to 26—and the motion of Mr, Edmunds was agreed to, THE FUNDING BILL. On motion of Mr. SHERMAN, (rep.) of Ohio, the Funding bill was again taken up, Mr. Corser, (rep.) of Oregon, took the floor in 0} ition to the bill, He proposed to amend the bill . ituting twenty years instead of ten years, so as to make the bond payable in forty years, redeem- able at the pleasure of the government after twenty years, principal and interest payable in coin and free ‘rom taxation. He took strong ground against Mr. Sherman’s position in favor of paying off the five- twenties in legal tender notes unless the bondhoid- ers would accept the proposed five per cent bonds, He contended that a great majority of the bondhold- ers would fund their bonds into a twenty year bond; | that the longer the loan the more popular tt would be. He claimed that Congress had al- ways contemplated the payment of the prin- cipal of the debt in gold, otherwise they would have allowed but six per cent instead of seven and three-tenths, as they had, allowing the extra one and three-tenths per cent to make the currency interest oF ul to gold interest nese agold principal. Section tive of the act of February 25, 1862, specially appropriated the coin duties on im- ports—first, to the payment of the interest on the public debt; second, to a ene fund, for the pay- ment of the principal out of the issue of $830,000,000 of the original seven-thirties. The poorer and middle classes took 2,877,313 bonds, being fifties, one hun- dreds and five hundreds, and probably the capi- talists only took the 871,197 one thousand dollar bonds, Repudiation would therefore fall heaviest upon the mechanics, laboring men, &¢., who, when appealed to in the day of our distress, withdrew their money from savings institutions and invested it in United States bonds, It was due to them, as well as to the foreigners who spewed out the rebel ‘bonds and came to our as nee, that | we should fulfil our promises. He needed neither the example of foreign nations nor the argument of a shrewd lawyer to tell him what was right between man and man and nation and nation. The most sacred thing in life next to man’s duty to God was to fuifil all his engagements, written or implied, If that was important in private how much more so in public affairs? If there was to be repudiation, let Pendleton and the party he represents inaugurate it, and not the glorious Union party, who had fought through fire and blood for the right, and should not now take up the wrong and crown an act so nobly begun with an act that would sink it so low in the estimation of those who had hitherto trusted it in the day of severe trial. He contended that if we must continne on the present state of expansion, it was better for the government to reduce its legal ienders to such an amount that it could safely resume specie payments and increase date of their ta are now provided by their respective yradux x.ud duties at the fates of their ‘Out and Gidchages aud sich officers 40 retuned shall bave re Spectively the sui authority aac jurisdiction as now cou ferred upon oticers of the Kurenu Uy ack of ‘Congress passed ‘on the 1th of July, in ar 186, Mr. Kilov, rep.)

Mr, j eh re (dem.) of Wis., questioned Mr. Ellot as to the amount realized by the Bureau for the mad ud use of abandoned lauds and property in the oul Mr. Exior replied that the Bureau had come in possession of property abandoned by rebels and un- repentant owners, who deserved hanging, and that if the Bureau had been allowed to retain possession of such property the Treasury need not have been called on for any%sum for its Bupport. He charged upon the President and upon the President’s sup- popiara that it was because of their action and of eir opposition that the expenses of the Bureau were not paid out of this abandoned property, a8 had been the design of Congress, Mr. TRIMBLE, (Uem.) of Ky., expressed a desire for information how Mr, Eliot could reconcile the theor, that these freedmen were competent to frame instl- tutions for the government of States with the fact a they had to be provided for by the Freemen’s ureau. E Mr. ELIoT said he should not expect to satisfy the gentleman from Kentucky on that point. Mr. TRIMBLE suggested that the gentleman might try to satisfy the porary, ir, ORTH, (rep.) of Ind., intimated that the country was already perfectly satisfied. i Mr. Ero? closed his speech with a defence of the Bureau and of the laws establishing it. ‘The republi- can party, he declared, was not to be affrighted back from its appointed work. There may have been cor- rupt and self-seeking men in that party, aud unwise and ill considered measures adopted, but the great record of the party would remain. That party stood not on its defence; it needed no defence, It proposed to carry on attack, here at home, on the stump, by speech, by voice and by press. It proposed to carry on the fight against the slave-born power, beaten in the field, but hopeful yet by cunning strategy to mano a work which the national arms had accom- plished. ; The morning hour having expired the bill went over till to-morrow, SOLDIERS’ BOUNTIES, The Senate amendment to the House bill to facili- tate the ment of soldiers’ bounties was taken from the Speaker’s table and, on motion of Mr. PAINE, non-concurred in, and a committee of confer- ence appointed, THE ADMISSION OF ALABAMA. The House then, at haif-past one o'clock, took up the bill for the admission of the State of Alabama. Mr. FARNSWORTH, (rep.) of Il, & member of the Reconstruction Committee, opened the debate by a speech in support of the bill, contending that al- though the Keconstruction laws required a majority of the registered voters to vote on the proposed consti- tution, the State should nevertheless be admit first, beeause th. er, and,second,? voters from the polls. The committee had had betor it some two hundred affidavits, all tending to prove the latter fact; that a system of ostracisin, social and financial, prevailed in Alabama; that loyal white men were deterred in. thousands from voting, and t such an unprecedentedly severe storm had been ra- ging in Alabama during the election period that thousands of voters had been kept from the polis, one man actually being drowned in attempting to swiin a stream in order to get to the place of voting. Mr. Woop, (dem.) of N. Y., inquired whefher, as- suming all those statements to be true, that would warrant a violation of the law of Congress, Mr. aRNSWORTH replied in the aillrmative, both for himself and for the committee. All sorts of plans, he said, had been resorted to by the rebels there to prevent men voting; and the committee was satistied that @ large majority of the registered voters were in favor of the constitution, and would have voted for it if they could. Under all these cir- cumstances the committee could see no reason why the bank circulation an equal amount in the West under proper safeguards, allowing the banks to issue only sixty per cent of the amount they had invested in five per cent bonds, and leaving them to resume we oa payment when specie should become more plentiful. He favored section six, which provides that all contracts for payments in coin should be en- forced, believing it would retain coin in the country. He opposed section five, and said it ought to be Stricken out as it would have a tendency to keep down tne price of bonds and prevent. the funding of the five-twenties into a long loan at five per cent interest. If we were to continue the exportation of bonds the higher we can keep them the better it will be in paying the balance of exchange against us. Mr. DIXON, (rep.) of Conn., rose to speak on the bill, and said he proj to address hiroself not merely to the finan but to the reconstruction measures of Congress and its general policy. Mr. SHERMAN Said it was so important that bis bill should pass at an early Cred that he would have to object to the Senator's making a political speech on the subject and raise the ar of order that such a speech wouid not be pertinent. Mr. POMsmbe: rap.) of Kansas, (in the chair) said the Senator could not be decided out of order before he had made any remarks. ‘Mr. SUMNER, (rep.) of Mass., suggested that the Supplementary Reconstruction bill be taken up and that the Senator could make his speech on that. . FESSENDEN, (rep.) of Me., hoped no such new rule would be adopted as that Senators must confine themselves to any particular subject of debate. If he made any remarks at all on the subjects of finance and reconstruction he expected to make them in one speech. Ptr. SHERMAN withdrew his point of order, and Mr. Dixon addressed the Senate at length, arraigning the republican party for its policy towards the South, He reviewed the whole ground of reconstruction. Reading from a speech of Mr. Sumner the asser- tion that Congress had pnt the destinies of the South into the hands of the blacks, he appealed to- them for the enfranchise- ment, not of the black, but of the white race. He reminded those who charged the conservatives and President Johnson with a desire to deliver the m into the hands of bloody handed rebels that the present presiding officer (Mr. Wade) had, in Jan- ‘Y, 1866, supported the policy of Mr. Johnson, and had said that had Mr. Lincoln’s policy been like it he would have supported that also. Had that example been followed the present ruinous condition of things would have been avoided. Atthe conclusion of Mr. Dixon's remarks the bill was laid over. CONFERENCE COMMITTEE. The PRESIDENT pro lem. appointed as the Com. mittee of Conference on the amendments to the bill in regard to proceeds of captured and abandoned property Messrs, Edmunds, Fessenden and Trumbull, EXECUTIVE SESSIO! On motion of Mr, ConN#SS at a quarter before four the Senate went into executive seesion, aud soon after adjourned, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. ASHINGTON, MARCH 11, 1568, RESTORATION IN THE NAVY. Mr. Ferry, (rep.) of Mich., from the Committee on Naval Adairs, reported a bitlfor the restoration of ;¢ Thomas H. Stevens to his position in the Recommitted, INVALID PENSION APPROPRIATION BILL. Mr. BereR, (rep.) of Mass., from the Cemmittee on Appropriations, reported back the Senate amend- ptain ments to the Invalid Pension Appropriation bil, with recommendations that they be non-concurred in and Mat a commitice of conference beappointed. It was so ordered, TUE ALABAMA -RLECTION.

Mr. FARNSWORTH replied that Alabama would come in on that fundamental condition, and would be bound by it. Mr. Woop inquired how Alabama, if she were now adiitted, and should afterwards deny or abridge the right of suffrage on account of color, could be taken out of the Union again? Mr. FARNSWORTH replied that it was not proposed to take her outof the Union again; but Alabama would be stopped from going behind the bill for her admission. Mr. Loan inqutred the number of white votes cast in the Alabama election ¢ Mr. FARNSWORTH conld not inform him; but stated that there were thirty thousand white men in Alabama in full accord with the liberty-loving people of the State. Mr. STEVENS, (rep.) of Pa., stated that but one thousand men voted against the constitution, and they were supposed to be white men who did vote. rt. LOAN asked What assurance there was that if Alabama were admitted it would not be found after the next election in the hands of the rebel paty ? Mr. FARNSWORTH replied that there was enough to satisfy the committee that a very |i majority of the voters in Alabama were In favor of the constitu. tion. He alluded again to the intimidation exercised and the rhreats used in the rebel papers against all who would vote for It. Mr. Ross, (dem.) of Til, inquired whether the loyal blacks in Alabama were in the habit of reading rebel papers ? Mr. FARNSWoRTH replied ‘that the loyal blacks were usually as capable of reading revel papers or any other papers as the disloyal whites were in his colleague's (Mr. Ross’) district. Mr. Borer, cong of Pa., inquired whether any witnesses had been examined before the committee, or whether the facts stated by the gentieman did not rest entirely on ex parte amidavits? Mr. STEVENS, of Pa., remarked that in the absence of bis colleage (Mr. Farnsworth) three witnesses had been examined before the committee, Mr. ELDRIDGE subsequentiy remarked that, so far as the ye x y (Mr. Beck), @ mem- ber of the committee, had any knowledge, there were no witnesses examined, Mr. Kerr, (dem.) of Ind., asked whether Congress had ever before, in the admission of a State, reserved the right to repeal the acts of such Statet Mr. FARNSWORTH Suggested that in the admission of the gentieman’s own State (indiana) conditions had been imposed. Mr. Kern admitted that there was a condition im- posed in reference to the taxation-ef certain parts of the public lands, but any violation of that limitation was to be remedied in the courts, and now by another law of Congr the Speaker would bear him testi- mony, the courts had furnished that remedy. Mr. FARNSWORTH asked where the courts got thelr authority ? ‘They got it from the constitution and got it from Congress, and if Congress can clothe the courts with authority to execute a part of the compact, Why cannot Congress itself do it? Mr. KERR—It was not part of a compact; it was simply a condition reiating to the pubic lands in whict the State of Indiana never had any title. Mr. eek, (lem.) of Ky., one of the minority mem- bers of the Comunittee on Reconstruct took the bill, He ai edd ll javing been submitted to koew nothing of such in the newspapers floor in opposition to knowledge of any repo: the committee, and said | report until he saw it publis this morning. Mr. STEVENS, of Pa., Kentucky (Mr. Beck) had | tive to his duties on the conuiitce and very polite, bot that nevertheless the very first thing that was read to the comuititee Was a stort report, and he was yinuch astonished vl thatit had not been this merning on the desks of members. Mr. HULHURD, (rep.) of N. ¥., concurred with the statement of M evens. He recollected the read- entieman from rally very atten- la that twas read yn a Satur- pid at the Chairman's rooms. CK declared that nether he nor his colleague (Mr. Brooks) hed had notice of any such meeting.

Why should this bill be passed now, when, if the assertion were true that aanajority of voters in Alabama were in favor of the coustitutton, it would be sent back and be voted on again? Was it because was ny to have two Alabama Senators to vote for the impeachment of the President? Surely that weuid not be avowed.

The bill was laid aside temporarily, Mr. Farsswort stating that a vote would be asked to-morrow. APPROPRIATION NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT THB RECONSTRUCTION LAWS. The SPEAKER presented a communication from the Secretary of War, with a letter from General Meade, relative to the necessity of additional appropriations to see 4 out the Reconstruction acts, which was referred to the Committee on Appropriations, - THE ALLEGED FICTITIOUS DESTRUCTION OF GOVERN- MENT BONDS. Mr. VAN WYCK, (rep.) of N. Y., from the Committee on Retrenchment, to which was referred the tnvesti- gation ordered last Monday as to the fictitious de- struction of the bonds in the Treasury, made a report wince he asked to have laid on the table and pri Mr. Logan, (rep.) of Ill., asked whether the report embraced the testimony? Mr. VAN Wrox said it did not. The Committee did not deem it necessary to incur the expense of printing the nines 8 Mr. LOGAN objected to the reading of the report unless the evidence was also presented and read. ‘That evidence would show that he was justified in making the statement, notwithstanding the fact the very evening the inquiry was ordered a telegram had been sent to the Associated Press that his state- ment was without foundation. He did not intend to permit any imputation to be made on his veracity. Mr. VAN WyCk explained that having, in company with Mr, Laflin, called on General Spiner the same evening and ascertained that there was no fraud or suspicion of fraud in the matter, he thought it his duty, not as a member of Congress, but as a citizen of the United States, to make the facts known and remove the alarm and apprehension which the state- ment of the gentleman from Illinois was calculated to produce. He proceeded to explain in detail how the misapprehension had arisen. A somewhat heated colloquy took place between Messrs. Logan and Van Wyck, the former contend- ing that in justice to him the evidence which sus- tained his statement should be published, and the latter holding that the committee had only been in- fluenced by the public aspect of the question, and had not deemed the veracity of the gentleman from Illinois to be called in question at all. Mr. LAFLIN, (rep.) of N. Y., corroborated the state- ment of Mr. Van Wyck, and declared that there was nothing in the despatch in question which should be tortured into a reflection On the personal character of the gentleman from Iilinois or on the statement which he had made in the House. Mr. WELKER, (rep.) of Ohio, a member of the com- mittee, disclaimed any idea on the part of the com- mittee of suppressing the evidence, Mr. Van Wyck said the evidence would be ready to-morrow morning, and he did not want the report read till then, Mr. HALsrY, (rep.) of N. J., another member of the committee, said he had just seen the clerk who re- ported the testimony, und that he could not have it transcribed this evening. Mr. LoGAN obtained the floor and defended his own position. He declared that if the Treasury De- partment were charged with anything it had its attorneys at both ends of the Capitol to attempt to choke a man down or to cover him over with slime. One would suppose, he said, that the Treasury De- artment was filled with angels, with the Archangel ichael at their head, and that there was no such thing as corruption there. [He asked the Committee on Retrenchment to state whether or not it had knowledge of the fact that the Treasury Department had redecmed $70,000 of counterfeit bonds some time ago, which fact had not been made public? Mr. VAN WYCK said that when the question would come up to-morrow the inquiry would be answered. Mr. LoGaN, recurring to the facts in connection with the certificate of the destruction of $18,000,000 of bonds, retated the circumstances which justified his statement, Pacuiny. the circumstances that Mr. Neal, one of the clerks who had signed the certi- ficates, had told him that he supposed it was done to cover up a reported loss of $20,000,000 of bonds. He declared his determination to puncture the rot- tenness of that rotten concern, the Treasury Depart- ment, and he notified the Committee on Retrench- ment that he would give it work enough to do within the next four weeks. He did not intend to be bought off, or scared off, or driven off, but would do his duty in the face of all the men and all the Wwers and all the committees on earth or in heaven, it was a rotten institution, from its head to its foot. He believed that the officials of the Treasury were defrauding the government, not only by the sale of bonds, but by giving out dies and paying counterfeit bonds and duplicate bonds, and yet they found de- fenders on both sides of the Capitol to whitewash and cal them honest men.

Report of the Retrenchment Committee Rela- tive to False Certificates of the Destructio of $10,640,000 of United States Bonds. WASHINGTON, March 11, 1868. Mr. Van Wyck, from the Joint Committee on Re- trenchment, to whom was referred the following re- solution:— Resolved, That the Committee on Retrenchment be and is hereby instructed to investigate the charges made by the gentleman from illinois (Mr. Logan) in reference to the false certificates of the destruction of $13,640,000 of United States bonds, to port to this House to-morrow— Would respectfully state that they examined a number of witnesses and find the following facts: ‘That the paper on which bonds are printed is issued by the Chief of the Currency and Printing Bureau to the counting division, where it is counted by three official counters, the person re- ceiving being charged and accountable for every sheet. At the same time the character and denomination of the bonds {s assigned to each, so that the aggregate of values is known at each issue. Sometimes, however, in the course of pre- paration some sheets are soiled or torn or defectively printed; of such a record is duly made, counted by @ committee, burned or destroyed by maceration, under the director of another committee, with the same particularity as bonds once issued and returned. This is the theory and practice of the Bureau. is the process:—A committee of three or four—one each from the Secretary's, Register’s and Trea- surer’s ofice—to count the bonds and currenc; turned for destruction, Then a committee of four, one each from said offices and a citizen outside the department, appointed by the Secretary, whose duty is to receive from the first committee, and see that all such bonds and currency are actually destroyed. However, all bonds for destruction must come through the Register’s office, where they are can- celled by punching both the bonds and the respec- tive coupons tn the case of coupon bonds, Three books of registration are kept, in which are entries of the number of bonds destroyed, and their pnomination certified by the counting committee; also a certificate of the second committee that the same lave been burned or destroyed; said books are kept, one tn the Secretary's, one i the Register’s and one in the Treasurer's oiice, When sheets partly printed or blank are destroyed, it has been usual not only to designate not only the number of eets but the denomination they would have If the sheets had been perfected into bonds and issued, Everything appears as if the bonds were perfect ex- cept that at the top of tie page of the book of cer- es is stated the value and character of the estroyed. If not complete bonds the state- ment sows how far the sheets were printed, some- times on th c K, tinted, bronzed or blanks. During Secretary ase’s term, the Printing Bur being charged with the number of sheets and the denomination thereof, the same as printed, claimed a credit should | & the Bureau for each sheet aa money, it was intended to possess, Secretary view of the Bureau; General Spinner, the Treasurer, not only dissented, but refused to have them so credited; it was finally agreed that there should be the sa formality in counting and destroyi and the same record as in the case of bonds pel , anid that they should be credited, not as money, but denominated “statistica this is a formal and designated record to correspond with the original issue, ‘The present charge of abstraction ts of registered bonds issued under the act of March 3, 1863, Sheets were issued in June and July, 1464, to print a large number of different denominations. fore they were all used a committee of four was appointed by ’ ar och to make inquiry into the affairs of Printing Bureau, who made an inventory of all bonds complete and defective. y wo found certain blank sheets for this issue of bonds—being the lot In controversy—ttot yet printed or soiled, These they also took, making an account thereof under the denomunation to have been attached to them by panting, folded and delivered thom to Mr, Root, of the Treasiry Office, who re- ceipted for the sixty-five thousand sheets as blanks with the denominations named. fe piaced them in charge of Mr. Seller, the head of the East Roont, who placed them safe in his vauit, where they remained Hil] December, 1867, When a question arising as to what disposition showid be made of then, the Secre- tary ordered that they shouid be desiroy were they didy counted by te counting as w the pumber and intended mation, of which a record Was duly and they were ghen delivered to the Uostriciion committee to Ms destroyed.

He was informed as above stated and declined ing the ordinary cer- tiflcate of destruction until the Counting Committee had certified the condition of the sheets. They were then destroyed and a certificate in accordance with the facts signed on the proper books, before and containing the state ment and certificate of the Counting Commit- tee. Om the top of the page on which the said statement and certificate were entered, tt is distinctly stated they were called blanks. A copy of said is annexed and made part of this re- port. o person through whose hands they pi aul any idea that they were destroying them tn piace of or substitutes for bonds. All knew they were blanks; the whole proceeding was public and open. After being taken by the Secretary’s commission of inguiry the sheets were not again In charge of the Printing Bureau. The attention of General Spinner was called to this matter about three weeks ago. He examined the circumstances and found no fraud. His attention was again called to it on the 9th in- stant. He did not intend to convey the tm- Aare that there was ane fraud, for he knew there ad not been. He did say it was wrong to destroy blank paper, also wrong denominate it as bonds, which should be explained, and had he known it was to be destroyed he would not have allowed it. He was not aware that itis customary to destroy blank Paper. ‘Pre character of the bonds all to be stolen sustain the above facts. It will be remembered they were registered in the office of the Register of the Treasury, who kept an account of every regis- tered bond, with the name of the person whom payable and before each semi-annual period for the payment of the interest. A Schedule is made out for each place where there is a sub-treasury, and where the holders reside and the Proper amount to meet the interest at each place is remitted, At each change of ownership the bond is sent to the Register's Oflce and a new bond igsued to the new owner, It was, therefore, evidently tm- possible by a combination of all the persons through whose hands the sheets:passed, aided by every per- son in the Printing Bureau, to consummate a fraud of this kind without detection, Eighteen millions of bonds, with fictitious names of bonds ordered to be discharged in the Register’s Office, could not possibly be used and escape discovery, , Under a concurrent resolution of the two houses adopted in March last a sub-committee of the com- mittee has been engaged in the investigation of the issue of the various loans of the government since the beginning of 1861, inquiring into the details of each loan, the number of bonds printed, the number issued, the number destroyed, &c. The voluminous testimony tn regard to these points will be laid be- fore Congress in due time, ‘The committee di Sig nothing irregular in the matters referred to, that no frauds were at- tempted, neither could any have been consummated in the case of registered bonds, do, therefore, ask to be Siashanged. from the further consideration of the resolution, coc Brooklyn vs. New York—“Stag” Main of Five for $300 and $25 on Each BattlemAt Half-past Twelve o’Clock This Morning “Seven Battles Fought, Brooklyn Winning the Main. The breeders of aristocratic fowls—of all that is game in chickendom—have had for several weeks a rest that has nerved them to future contests, entering their birds of greater courage and value, that every ‘point’? should be well con- tested, Some indifferent battles between chickens of inferior character have recently been fought, but there was exhibited so little “blood” that they were un- worthy of prominent notice. Not until last evening has any match of prominence been fought between game chickens for some time, and all the “knowing ones” reserved their midnight hours and superfluous cash that they might be present at what really was a series of batties where aristocratic fowldom were pitted each against the other. The “nod” being given, and with the additional stimulus of large amounts of money, a crowd of ntiemen from many miles around the metropolls gathered together m the suburbs last evening to witness a fight of game birds, and thus, with the enterprise atways incident to the movements of the HERALD, the result of the main Of this fight tg given thus early. The contest In many particulars was different from other matns fought on the same battle ground, inastouch as this included chickens but eight and ten K FIGHTING. months old—*stags”’—yet within them were embod- jed all the cou! e, all the spirit, all the revengeful- ness noticed in the their elder brethren, The terms of this latest match were that New York and Brooklyn should each show fifteen cocks weighing from four to five pounds, and from them a match list made out in regard to relative weights, ‘The throng that assembled to witness the battle was largeand harmonious. In the order of “weigh- ing in’ there was much speculation; but all were, with one accord, desirous of seeing a fight and being each with the other as friendly as possible. ‘The New York fowls were bred in Albany, Rondout, Tivoli and surrounding towns, their strains being of the Irish and English, while the Brooklyn_main were of the Derby and Heathwood pedigree. The same rules in every essential phase governing the previously reported battles were observed in this. From the fifteen shown nine battles were agreed upon, the main to be of five. Each and every bird fought with a vim and deter- mination that entitle their owners to great praise, as eames me all eine ha terri Sant in birds they possessed. In the ing was done ably and satisfactorily. i THE FIGHTING. First Fight.—It was five minutes past nine before the contestants appeared in the recently white washed pit. Bets of twenty to sixteen were fre- quently made that New York would win the main before the birds were brought in. Brooklyn showed ablack red with a yellow hackle, New York the same color with a darker hackle and of five pounds, ‘The Brooklyn chicken seemed a better formed fowl than his antagonist, but both were in excellent con- dition. There was quick work. Brooklyn hit rapidly and effectively, and within two minutes the New York bird lay dead, his tnroat cut in many places. Second Fight.—Twenty minutes, the usual time be- tween fights, having elapsed, Brooklyn presented a pyle while New York brought in a black red, each of four pounds, Brooklyn had been very sick and was said to be out of condition, but the sanguine men around the pit bet two to one on him. Quick work was the word and Brooklyn recelved much punish. ment, but returned thrust after thrust and after losing his eyes he repaid in deadly conflict all the plunges he received and only gave up when choked to death by his own blood. ‘Time, six minutes, Third Fight.—Kach side had gained a fight, and the friends of New York again launched out their money without seeming reflection, Brooklyn showed a brown red with light hackle, while New York sent in a birch (ae light hackle, each four pounds five ounces. ere was but little time lost, as the brown red. amid cries of ten to five on him, broke the leg of New York and followed up his fearful thrusts with such rapidity and excettent judgment that the throat of New York was cut completely away, and his handler threw up tie fight, after eleven minutes, Fourth Fight.—Two to one on Brooklyn by many voices, with but few takers, New York handed in a dark red with dark hackle, while Brooklyn showed a biue pyle with light hackle, each four pounds nine ounces. The first dash the red obtained & cut throat, but, with unexampled determination, fonght every inch of the ground, and with a dexterous thrust. cut the throat of Brooklyn and he was no more, Time, eight minutes. UM Fight.—The battles were now even. Betting was twenty to fourteen on Brooklyn—not taken. New York handed ina gray, with dark hackle, but Brooklyn showed — blue red, with a mui? colored hackle, each four pounds eight ounces. The Brook- lyn chicken was quick and fearfully active, as within two minutes New York was dead, the steel gait of his opponent entering his brain. Sixth Fight.—Ten to seven on Brooklyn, and sev- eral inclined to think New York's chickens were still good took all such odds. Both showed a black red weighing four pounds ten eunces, New York ob- tained acub throat Instantly, but waa game to the last, as Brooklyn after art out both his eyes killed him with a deadly thrust in the brain, Time, thirteen minutes, Seventh Fight.—Brooklyn was now fight and the main was won, Betting was ten to seven on Brooklyn. New York showed a brown-red with yellow hackle, hsp fi 9 four pounds eleven ounces, while Brooklyn presented @ black-red with a dark hackle, weighing tour pounds tweive ounces. Although New fought well he had his throat cut, eyes put out, and was finally kilied by his antagonist in nine minutes, Brooklyn thus winning the main, Here, it being haif-past twelve thie morning, and the main’ won, our reporter with many others left the pit. The eighth and ninth fights were to be fought at once, each weighing respectively four ounds two Ounces and four pounds one ounce. No etter and determined fighting has been seen this year than in this main, jubsant.
