Mr. STEVENK—W here ia it? Mr. HoopeR—I it is on the Speaker's table ‘or somewhere else, No friend of the measure ever called it vp. Mr. ) of Md., cast back the c! ‘of bad on ublican party, instancing reduction of the naval fund froma cent to & ‘been reduced. = STARKWEATHER denied that the bonds pro- Fane) be taxed were held principaily by the rich. ‘Matter had been officially inq' into, and it ‘Was found that $200,000,000 were held by savings which represented the interests of the 4 000,000 were in trust funds, where am of the poor were also represented; that 000,000 were one ve national baaks, but ‘that amount was alread: and that $600,000,000 ‘were held abroad, which it was not proposed to tax, Mr. HOLMAN said he did not propose to exempt “any of the bonds. Mr. Starkweather went on to say that that calculation would leave one hundred mil- Hons undisposed of, to a certain extent, that was heid in large amounts. That sum was divided ve- tween 16,000 and 20,000 holders, so that oniv one- fifteenth of the whole amount was held by persons who ht be called rich, Mr. Woop remarked that eight hundred milhons ‘of the national bonds were held in Europe. ‘That was about one-third of the aggregate debt of the couniry. He knew from practical observations and from acquaintance with financial movements in the city of New York that fully two-chirds of the re- mainder were held by New York capitalists. It was @ mistake to suppose that because the capi- tal of savings banks was invested in United States bonds the income irom them Went to the beneiit of the poorer classes. In his opinion the bonds held by the poorer classes ‘Would not reach one-twentieih of tue ainonnt held by Capitalists, and he believed that the capitalists should be made to bear a larger proportion of the burdens of the government.

But the eredit kK gen atiected by tuese improper specuiations fess, SO that instead ol being able to get money at three and a half or four per cent he doubved Whether it could be got at five per cent. Why? Because it was a question whether the naiion would preserve its good faith. ‘This kind of speculation ip the hall of Congress was more damaging to the nation than anything else could be. ‘The bonds had been taker ata time When it required tose who had faith in the nations of the earth to believe that the nation would come out of the storm and be saved. Those were the men who had taken the United States bonds; not those who were the con- stituents of the democratic members. After further debate the vote was taken by tellers on Mir. Holman’s amendment, and the vote was 15 to 46—no quoram voting. Tae roll was called, but no quorum answered. By unanimous cousent the amendment was passed over, and the committee proceeded with the oiuer sections of the bill. Mir. Woop moved to strike out sections two and four, wiuch direct how incomes shall be estimated, the words “the amount of sales of live stock,” &c., and spoke in advocacy of his motion. ‘Mr. SCHENCK made an argument in reply. The amendment was rejected. The remainder of the bill was mainly ferme! and ‘Was read by the Clerk without any amendments being otfered. ‘The bill having been completed, except the re- served sections on distilled spirits and tobacco and the amendment offered by Mr. Holman, the douse at twenty minutes past ten adjourned, “FLOUR MILLS. ‘Teur of the Mills of New York, Brooklyn and Williamsburg—Quantity of Fiour Daiiy Maude and Process of Its Manufacture-Flour Made Here Compared with Western Flour—CGross Impositions Practised by Flour Retail Dealers and Bakers—How to Prevent These Impositions, ‘The modern and universally accepted definition of bread—the staif of life—is the happiest definition that can be given. Bread is our chief article of Tood—the main support of life—the literal staff, so ‘to speak, upon which we have to lean for sustenance and being. In view, therefore, of bread contributing #0 largely to our physical support, there is no sub- Yect of such broadly vital interest to everybody as ithe manufacture of flour. Upon the quality of the flour depends the quality of the bread. But it is an undeniable fact that the same quality of flour is not always pro- duced from the same quality of wheat, ‘There is as much difference here as tn all other pro- ducts—differences depending on relative experience, skill and honesty, this last elementary constituent, in matters ef manufactured products particulany, ‘Dy NO Means the least worthy of special considera- tion. A widespread belief somehow prevails here ‘that we must look to Western milis for the best ‘our, and to insure the best brands the only pos- sible recourse was supposed to be the Genesee mills. ‘The star of four making, like the star of empire, moved, however, still further westward. Other Plawes have enjoyed for a while the highest re- putation in this regard, and now no flour is thought to egual that of the St. Louis mills. They make ‘good flour in St. Louis. They make good four in Osweyo, in Bechester, in Lockport, in Black Rock, in Chicago, in Mflwaakee and in other places nearer. and more remote. No one can deny this fact. ‘The fact we insist upon stating is that just as good, if not better, four is made here—that 1s to say, in New Yonk, Brookiyn, Williamsburg, Jersey City and Newark, \N. J.—as anywhere else. That it should be 60 stands clear to reason. Our flour manufacturers ‘here havettheir selections\ from wheat grown all over the country, even in Cal/fornia, thus securing the Dest quality at the lowest possible cost. They are all practical mifiers, born to tye business, most of them, and grown up with it, They have as large mills as are to be found anywhere eke. They have the best aud most expensive machin ry. They employ only tested and skilled labor. Fio\it manufactured here can be furnisned to the consumer cheaper than thas of Western make. On tiie latter flour there are three profits to be 1aade, intermediate between the manufacturer and consumer— that of the commission merchant, wholesale Jobber and retail dealer. On flour Mave here it can go at once from the manufacturer to the consumer, besides being fresh and sweet anc ' Dever changing its quality. Flour made here is sc | to-day in the market at from two dollars to three dollars a barrel Jess than Western flour.

METROPOLITAN FLOUR MILLS. ‘We will commence our description with the mm- gnoth four milis of Hecker & Brother.

The barrels, as fast as packed, are lowered by elevators, branded and made ready for shipment. This {3 & hasty glance at the operation of transforming wheat iato four, There is much of interest upon wich we might dwell with particularity—the four oat sepa- rating machines, used for taking oats out of spring wheat and barley out of California wheat; the smut mills, where the grain is received for scouring, which is eifected by being rapidly whirled be- tween two conical ‘stone surfaces; an air tight casing concealing the operation trom view and keep- ing the dust irom escaping imto the mili; the bins of wiieat, the lines of shaftmg and distinctive pulleys for distinet operations; the hopper suspended on patent scales for weighing the gram after it 18 cleaned aud ready for grinding; tue processes of making and disposing oi the slup stuffs and bran; the meaus empioyed to prevent fire, and various otuer mechanical appliances tor the varied other required purposes. We might also speak of the fact of duplicates being kept of every wheei used in the maecbinery, of the engines, , by which any of the stones may be disengaged trom the machinery and stopped or set going at pleasure without inter- fering With the motions of the engines or the other machinery, and the absence of ail cogwheel gearing in driving the stones, thereby overcoming one of the most formidable diiiculties in this important point of mill work. ‘The engine 1s 400 horse power: ‘There are eight boilers, nearly new. Connected with the motive power are two pairs of oscillating engines solely employed in driving two large drums, to each of which are attached seven belts, each belt drivin: its separate stone. The design of (hese engines an avoidance of cogwheel gearing to wiuch we have referred are original with the proprietor, The milis ron night and day, Sundays excepted. Thorough system and tie most thorough neatness are conspica- ous in every department. They make all grades of flour, from the coarsest for shipping purposes to the finest for family use. At the Croton Mills, Nos, 203 and 206 Cherry street, a very strong brick build- ing, about 150 barreis of Nour are made daily, but the principal articies of manufacture, as is weil Kuown, ure prepared Hoar, farina aad wheaten grits. ATLANTIC MILLS, Tne largest flouring milis in the United States, since the burning of tae ceiebrated Haxhall Mills in Richmond, Va., are the Atiantic Milis of F. E, Smith & Co., Nos. 8, 10 and 12, Hamilton avenue, Brooklyn. These mills we been built only three years, an cousequently in their construction every advan' wus taken of former experiences and all the modern improvements introduced, ‘The mills are acknow- ledged to be the most complete and periect, in every respect, that are now working in thus country. The buiidings are built of brick and are six stories high, including the basement. They have a front of seventy- five feet on Atlantic avenue and a depth of 200 feet, besides an elevator of 30x50 teet in the rear, touching the Atlantic basin. For receiving grain, besides being within two stones’ throw of probably 8,000,000 bushels of Wheat nearly all the time on storage, It possesses facilities no other iulils in this section enjoy, The wheatis brought in canal boats or barges into the basin, direct vo the elevator, and thence, by ald of tie latter, 1s raised into the mill— the elevator having a capacity of taking out 3,000 bushels an hour. ‘Lhe milis have tweive run of stone, the stones being unusually large, each four feet four inches in diameter, Their engine is 600 horse power, wiih four ‘boilers 7x27 ieet in dimension. ‘They turn out 1,100 barrels of flour daily, although having ca- pacity to turn out fully @ quarter more. We have that the mills are about as neat an approach to periection as can be. To be convinced of tuis fact it ig only necessary to visit the mils and go through them, Cousidering the ponderous machinery employed, the amount of Wheat that 1s daily handied, the num- ber of barreis of Sour that are each made and ed and got in readiness for shipping to the market, it is singularly noticeable now almost noiselessly the whole work is accomplished, how the engines inove with scarcely @ jarring motion, how in the rapid evolutions vi the heavy milistones and rapid movements of belts, and wheéis, and pul- Jeys and elevators in ail directions there is hardly a tremor to be felt.

There igan elevator running througi all the floor capabie of raising or lowering, as the case may be, 900 barreia an hour. On the fifth floor is a mili- wright shop for repairs, and at intervals throughout the building are water tanks, hose and other ay ances for use in case of fire. A more perfect mill could not well be devised. The proprietors were formerly Genesee miliera, and their fathers and grandfathers were millers Lefore them. They under- stand thelr business thoroughly. They buy omy the best wheat and they make the best flour, and, wiat 4 of more tusportance to the great consuming class, Sell it for nearly three dollars jess @ burrei than ine reling prices of Western four, BROOKLYN OITY MILLS, Here is anotler model mill, a large six story brick buliding, at tue left of the dock at the foot of Fuiton street, Brooklyn, It is no wonder it 1s a Mudel, for the tate ‘1.

THE STATE CAPITAL. ‘The Sewerage of New York—A Bill Relating to the Croton Aqueduct Board—Insurance Companies to be Restricted from Forfeiting Policies—Uviforms of Railroad Conductors Animated Debates in the House. ALBANY, Feb. 3, 1869. The standing committees reported quite a number of bills to-day, most of them favorably. The bill in- creasing the pay of the police force in the Metro- politan district was reported adversely by the Judi- clary Committee, in accordance with the official statement of the Police Commissioners that the in- crease was unnecessary, as they could get plenty of officers to perform the service of patrolmen and roundsmen for the present pay. A very interestiog discussion took place to-day in the House upon the resolution of Mr. Keegan to appoint a committee to investigate the system of sewerage in the city of New York. It was warmly sustained by Messrs. Hitchman, Mitchel, Hartman and Kiernan, of New York, and Mr. Selk- reg, of Tompkins; Mr. Davis and Mr. Lyons, of Orange. The resolution was finally referred to the standing committee on Public Health. The repre- sentations made by Mr. Hitchman as to the bad con- dition of the sewerage in districts where tenement houses abound showed the necessity of the investi- gation called for. The conductors of the different railroads in the State will probably find themselves bound in tis tude to Mr. Liusted, of Westchester, for his bull re- hieving them from the unnecessary expense of wear- Sepa uniform, 28 provided by law. The new bill provides that a uniform cap and band aenoting their office shall be considered as sufficient uniform. Mr, Husted also introduced the following bill regu- lating the forfeiture of policies by insurance compa- nies:— SxcTION 1. No policy of insurance on hfe hereafter is- ed by any ‘company doing business in the State of New shall be forfeited or become void by the no cel “ 3 A. ip Saige on follow: net value of the policy, when lum becomes due “and “is not paid; shall be adoartain ed, accord ing, to the Hcomiingd experience” or actuaries’ ® rate of mortality, with interes} at four per centum er annum. After deducting from such net value any in- btedness to the company or notes held by the compan: against the insured, which notes, if given for premium, then be cancelled, four-fifths of what remains shall be con- sidered as a net single premium of temporary insurance, and ‘the term for which it will insure shall pe determined accord- to the age of the party at the time of the lapse of mium and the assumptions of mortality and interest afore- said. ‘SE. 2. If the death of bed gly Ringed within the term of temporary insurance covered by the value of the policy, as determined in the previous section, and if nocondition of the insurance other than the ent of premium shall have been violated by the fasured, the company shall be bound. to pay the amount of the policy the same aa if there had been ho lapse gin the policy to the ding: provided, however, that notice ° of claim and proof the death shall be submitted to the company within ninety days after the decease; and provided, also, that the company shail have the right to deduct from the amount insured in the Policy the amount at seven per cent per annum of the prem!- ‘ums that had been forborne at the time of the death. Szc. 8. All endowment policies on which two annual prem!- ums have been paid shall be non-forfeiting for such propor- tion of the original sum as the number of jams paid bears to the tolal number required by the, poiley,and such Paid up policy shall receive an equitable share of the proiits or dividends until {t matures. An act in relation to the Croton Aqueduct Board, introduced by Mr. Porter, provides that the Board shall lay iron or stone pipes between 113th and Nmmety-third streets, to. connect with the aqueduct at the latter place, The Corporation is authorized by this bill to raise the necessary ds by assess- ment on the lots in the vicinity ed. ‘This bill is regarded of considerable importance to that portion of the city. A bill to amend the military code was introduced also by Mr. Porter relative to volunteer service and exemption from military taxation, Mr. P. J.
