WASHINGTON Passage by the House of the Georgia Bill. BINGHAM’S AMENDMENT ADOPTED. Tennessee Again in Bat- ler’s Toils. Proposed Reception of Legal Tenders for Import Duties. SENATOR MORTON'S NEUTRALITY BILL, Texas Ratifies the Constitutional Amendments. WASHINGTON, March 8, 1870, Another Triumph ‘of Conservatiem—Butler id Bullock—Iniquitous Georgia Recon- struction Bill Defeated, . General Butler and Governor Bullock, of Georgia, met with a crushing defeat in the House to-day by ‘the adoption of Bingham's amendment to tne Geor- gia bill. All of Bullock’s lobbying for the last three months here, together with bis dining and wining of Congressmen with a view to get such a bill passed as would giye him a perpetual lease upon the Guber- natorial office in Georgia goes for nothing. Should the Senate endorse the action of the House, Bul- Jock will be compelled to retire from office when his term expires, like any other governor, The great object of the Georgia bill, as reported from the Re- construction Committee by Butler, was to keep Bul- lock in Office and to secure the election of his con- Sederates’ to the House and Senate of the United States, as well as their retention in the State offices. But Bingham has upset these nice calculations, and the. whole combination has come to grief. Bing- ham’s amendment provides that none of the offices now fillea in the State of Georgia, whether by @ppointient or election, shall be vacated by the act, mor shall it be construed to extend the official term of apy oMicer of the State beyond the term limited by the constitution of the State. This is a fatal shot to the Bullock faction. It puts Mr. Bullock out of office two years hence, inatead of four, as he hea contemplated. That part of tne amendment which prcvides that the people of Georgia shall not be de- prived of their right under their constitution to elect Senators and Representatives in the year 1870, ui that such election shall be held in the year 1870, either on the day nawed w the constitution of Georgia or such otner day as the present Legislature may designate by law, disposes of Biodget and the remainder of the Builock party, and gives the people @chauce fora new deal. Bingbam’s speech in the House yesterday had a marked effect upon the fortunes of Bullock, as well as upon the fate of Butler's bil, Butler wi to offset it to-day by one of his best efforts, but it did not take. In vain did he parade the usual array of murdgs ang gjper oypeeee sie to bave been committed in Georg! hile Butler was speaking Bullock and his sate:lites were busy among the mem- bers lobbying for votes. The question was taken first on Bingham’s amendment. Butler, seeing defeat inevitable, tnought he would delay it a little by call- ing the yeasand nays. Inthe meantime Bullock plyed his vocation, but when the vole was an- nounced it stood—yeas, 114; nays, 71, The bill, as amended, was finally passed by a vote of 152 to 55. Bingham, of course, was jubilant. Butler got his coat and went home, and Bullock retired, reflecting apon the uncertainty of human events, Butler threatens to get Bingham’s amendment defeated in the Senate. The Reconstruction Committee Taking Hold ef Tounessee—Terrible State af Affairs in that StuteAnother Reconstruction Hill, The Reconstruction Committee to-day heara the statements of Representatives Maynard and Arnell, of Tenmessee, in favor of reconstructing that State. Mr, Maynard argued that under the present Gov- ernor and Legislature the State constitution of Tennessee has been revolutionized and the Recon- struction acts of Congress disregarded and viulated. Persons not entitled to vote under the State consti- tution not only voted, but were elected to offices which they now held in defiance of iaw. The last Btate election had been carried throngh fraud, and utter disregard of the constitution of the State. There was no remedy for these things except the prompt interference of Congress. He exhibited letters, or briefs of letters, recetved Irom different parts of Ten’ nessee, alleging that the Nves of Union men were not safe and that murders and other outrages were of dally oecurrence. The State authorities did not profess to take any cognizance of this condition of afairs. If Congress had the power to reconstruct Georgia when her State Legislature violated the Reconstruction acts he heid that it had equal power over Tennessee. Tne cases were parallel. Georgia had been admitted to representation in Congress and her State authorities bad broken faith with the general government. Tennessee was in 9 similar condition, Mr. Arnel] pursued a@ similar train of argument. General Butler, chairman of the committee ex- pressed the opinion that Congress had tull power in the premises, and indicated his intention 1o prepare abill to meet the case. Mr, beck, of Kentucky, democrat, thought Congress had no right to regu- laié the domestic affairs of a State. Itmignt as well go into Massachusetts for this purpose aa ‘Tennessee. It had as much right im the one case as in the other. Butler replied that the state of affairs which existed in Tennessee did not exist in Massachusetts. it w did he Would have no objection to Congress taking hold of Massachusetts and recovstructing her. Without taking any action the committee postponed the matter until its next meeting. Butler will en- aeavor to get the committee's assent to réport a bill similar to the one passed ins the cave of Georgia last December. It seems’ to. be understood that if Ten- essee is not reconstructed the republican party will suffer a defeat next fall in that state atthe Congressional elections, This, after all, is the milk in the cocoanut, The Trade in Cadetships—Mungen and Covede Exculpated. From present indications it loozs as if General Mungen, of Ohio, would be exculpated by ihe Com- mittee on Military Affairs from the charge of selling a Cadet appointment to the Navai Academy. Mr. An- Gerson, the father of the boy who received tne ap- pointment was before the committee to-day, and’ ‘teutified that he was introduced to Muagen by a ‘mutual friend named Overmeyer. The latter tea Mungen to believe that Anderson was a democrat, Decause he gaid if Mungen knew he was a repub- Nean he would not appoint his son. A friend of Mungen, named Wilson, endorsed the application of Anderson, and the boy was appointed. Anderson 40 return for Wiison’s services ana influence paid him $300, but be said he did net understand that Mungen was to recclve the money or any part of it, er that he knew anything avout that feature of the transaction. Wilson testifies that ne received the money and pocketed it, saying nothing to Mungen about It, The confmittee wiil report all the case be- fore them at the same time. What will be done with Butler, of Tennessee, is not gettied, It 1s thought he will be allowed to retain nis seat after being cen- sured by the House. Covode and Mungen wiil pro- babiy be exculpated tn the committee report. Tho Proposed Addition to the Currency—Its Defeat in the House Expe The Committee on Banking and Currency has ually made up 11s mind as to whether it will report in favor of national vank notes or greenvacks for the Proposed additional issue of $50,000,000 currency, | aad has cecidea in favor of the latver.

Senator Davis to-day gave the Senate one of his exhaustive arguments. Senator McCreery listened to him with marked attention, and judging from a bro.d smile occasionally playing upon this gentle- man’s intellectual brow, must nave discovered a lit- Ue humor in the remarks of his colleague, The question was the Funding bill, but judging from Mr, Davis’ remarks a stranger would have thougnt it was ar’sumy: of McClellan’s campaign, @ history of the late rebellion and rebel finances.

The discussion of the bill was laid over, THE FUNDING BILL was then taken up, the question being upon the amendment overed by Mr. Corbett to swrike out the fith Bection, Making the interest on bonds payabie at tue United States Treasury, and in the cities of London, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam and Frankfort. Mr, SHERMAN, (rep.) of Onto, in reply to the stave- mént which he said had gone broadcast through the press of the country that the one per centuin aliowea to negotiate the joan was @ Vast corruption iund of twelve millions of doilars, referred to the diMicaiues in the way of the undertaking, which were greater than those attending the negotiation of the previous loans. ‘Lhe present requirement upon the secretary of the Treasury to seil these bonds at par in gold tad not applied in other cases, as former loans were dis- posed Of on the vest terms avaliable. Mr. Sherman then forwarded to the Clerk and hud read a jetter from the Secretary of the Treasury im response to his own inguiring whcther the veods could not ve uegomaied at & less rate. ‘he letter asserts the Secretary’s inability to estimate accurately the probable expense Of negotiating tie proposeu loan and preparing and issuing tae same in i vas bee the United Siates and Europe, but he firmly beueves one per cent Would exceed the re- gate charges. He holds to the belief tat the proposition to impose the work of negotia- tion upon the Treasury Department exclusively would prevenc the department froin negouating a new loan. A large amount of our ponds were beld in Kurope, and the holders could only be reached ‘Mirough bankers of lafuence in Lose couutries, and ‘tese 1b would, he believed, be necessary w employ to negotiate the loan at at a smail commission. Mr. Sheriaan conunued, contrasting the proposed ex- pense witn the cost of agencies for former loan, ‘Lhe first iive-twenty loan coat us turee-eighihs of one per ceut; the second, by Mr. Fessenden in 1864, cose Uhree-fourtas Of one per cent, So far as the loun wight be absorbed by our own Wants the Secretary would, perhaps, be able to dispense with all kinds of domestic agencies, but it must be remembered that one thousand millions of our bouds were held in Europe; therefore the necessity of foreign agencies, Several addiuonal letters wéte read at the sugges- tion of Mr. Sherman. One was from the Lnited States Consul at Amsterdam, representing that the recen$ Prussian loan had cost that government about two sud one-half per cent, Auotler was from the secretary of the Treasury, to the elect that one-half of one per cent might be suilicient to cover the whole expense; but if one per cent Was alowed to remain the cost would not be increased. Mr. Shermau maintained thas the oue per cent provision shouid ve retained; that ail necessary discretion be given to the Secretary, in view of the slict responsibility to wich be would be heid. In some cases the cost might not exceed one-eighth of one per cent, but in remote countries it would be increased. Many aS end bankers would be glad CO act a8 agents of the United States without charg- ing anything; im fact some would be willing .o pay incerest on the balance left them. There was no- Wing in the cry that the payment of our interest avroad would bea disgrace. Our fathers thought it no disgrace to pay their interest in foreign coun- tries, Great Britain and Prussia did not do it, for the good reason that they were aiready among th @ money centres of Europe. Mr, Davis, (dem.) of Ky, delivered an argument in support of nig motion to recomimit the bill, with instructions to the Comuitkee to reduce the rate of interest on ail outstandiag bonds to five per cent; to tax all dividends received on United States bonds as 80 Much income; to reduce the appropriation for the army to reasonable yearly cost of twenty thou- sand inen; to reduce the aggregaie appropriation for the navy to twenty millions; for civil and diplomatic service ten por cent, and the aggrezate ‘mount of internal tax and duties on imports each thirty-three and one-third per cent.

As to the werest tm- putation of @ sordid consideration in the matter, igen who made it would not only have to break down bis (Mr. Voorhecs’) reputation, but would have to assall @ man who, for forty years in the ser- vice of bis country, had never had the breath of slander to tarnisi nis lair fame. The House nad been recently engaged in expelling some of 118 mem- bers. For the newspaper press aud the newspaper reporters, a8 a class, he had a very high respect, and had a personal regard for inany of wem; but if the aluiceways of calumny were to be thus opened by irresponsible men connected with the press the next expulsion that would be in order would be the ex- uision of slanderous an? calumniating reporters im the gallery.

Mr. Cox, (dem.) of N. Y., also protested agaist the bill and said that the States uf tue Union had reached (ue very depths of huiiliation in this measure. The Keconstruction Committee dictated to Congress, and the geuueiman from Massachusetts (Mr, Butier) dictated to the Reconstruction Com- mittee, 60 that tue rights of the States were all de- pendent upan the whim of one man.
