10 WASHINGTON. eee The Treasury Decisions on Imports. of Rhode Island, Vindicated. The Last Night of the Forty-First Congress, wt AN ALL NIGHT SESSION. Sprague, All the Appropriation § Bil Passed, WASHINGTON, March 3, 1871. The Appropriation Bills Pass:d—Voints of Conference Reports. The Legislative, Executive and Judicial Appro- yriation bill, which was the occasion of so much aigcussion in conference committees, was finally agreed to this evening, and the report ef the con- ference committee was adopted by the House about ten o'clock by a vote of 107 to 86, all the demoorate and about thirty republicans yoting against it. It was charged that the appropriation of half a millon dollars for the erection of a new State Department bullding was a job for we bencit of & patty here owning a stone quarry. This was & Senate amendment, und was yielded to by the conferees on the part of the House, A fight was also made upon the proposition to increase the salaries of the Judges of the Supreme Court and of the Circuit Courts of the United States. This was also a Senate amendment. General Logan charged that the conference committee bad discriminated aguinst other judges of the Untied States courts for tue purpose of favoring those of the Supreme Bench, sud the Circuit Judges, The other Senate amend- ment to increase the salaries of the heads of bureaus was defeated in conference. A proposition was made wo lay the conference report on the table, which would, of course, have carried the bill with it, Mr. Dawes, chairman of the Appropriation Committee, ice a strong appeal 10 the House not to deteat the bil on account of one oF two Obnoxious appro- priations. he conference report on the Post Office Appro- priation will contains a compromise between the contracting partes on the vexed qnestion of the Cucinnatt and Newport Bridge Company. The par- es are allowed to go to the courts for a settlement of thelr grievances. The proposition of the steam- boat Owners was to compel the raJroad companies Who own the bridge to construct it with spans wo feet above the waters The c nference Committee struck out the Senate amendment re- quiring the Postmaster General to reaward the con- tract for stamped envelopes to the lowest responsi- Appropriation bill, as agreed to in con- contains the Senate amendment directing cretary of the Treasury to pay to the Pacific railroad companies fifty per cent of teir earpings trom government business. The Sen- ate amendment providing for the payment ef the claims of loyal Southerners for forage and other property taken during the war was ‘truck out, and a new provision inserted to the effect that the President shall appoint a commission to adjudicate these claims. im the Naval Appropriation bill, as reported by the conference committee, there is a compromise measure intended to fix up the quarrel hetween the de and stafl officers of the navy. It is believed, however, that it will not satisfy cither party. Treasury Decisions as to import A synopsis of the decisions rendered by (he Trea. sury Department for the month of January was to! day sent to tne Collectors of Customs. The Depart. meuts has heretofore decided and it has bee se held by the courts that goods produced east of the Cape of Good Hope and imported from a place west Wereof, although otherwise iree from duty, are, when so 1m- ported, subject to the discriminating duty imposed by section sx of the act of March 3, 1865. Goods so #iwated under the new Tariff act would, therefore, be sUll subject to said diecrimnating duty. ‘The regu- Jauions of this department, article seventy-two, paris five and twelve, of October 1, 1870, require that one of the duplicate manifests er transportation entries tp cases Of merchandise destined for ports other than thai of original importaiion shail be torwarded 10 the Collector at ihe port of destination, care veing taken that such mant‘est or transportation entry be forwarded in time to be received at the port of des- hnation mm advance of such merchandise. The de- partment, after due consideration, has conciuded to acquiesce In the decision of the United States Cir- cuit Court and reverse its former instructions ac- cordimgly, The dutiable value of malt imported trom Canada will, therefore, hereatter be taken at 318 value in bond in that country, when it shall satis- faciorily appear tat the article was purchased in bond, The same ruje will be heid applicable to tea, cofiee, wine, &c., exported from Engiand to the Uxited States which are chargeable with duty on thew entry into consumption in that country, Vue which 1s not exacted on the exportation thereof from bond, and aiso to any other importation simi- lariy situated. Sik and cotton vestipgs so styled, ‘but sold as a pure Filk article, were found upon ex- amination to contain a very small proportion of colon, and were properly classified under the first @ubdivision of section eight, act of June 3), 1864, as 1K Vestings, subject to a duty of sixty per cent ad valorem. A manifest of a vessel sworn to by the Muaster before clearance cannot be amended during dis absence, as both ths law and reguia- uuons hold him responsible for the correctness of the manifest at the time of its lodgment, and for Ue correctness of amendments which may be maue ‘to tt afterwards. in the case of goods covered by a Wansportation entry arriving at different times 4nd by diferent vessels rewarehousing, entry of the entire quantity maybe made on the arrival of the Grst instalment of the goots, and withdrawal entries mude if so desired by the importers. Cotton gloves € iged at We wrist with a sinall stripe or stripes of colored worsted yarn, Kuit in for the purpose of or- nament, should be classified as ‘cotton hosiery,” at a duty of thirty-five per centum ad valorem, under section six of the act of June 30, 1864, Sonuer Spragu’s Cotton Speculations, Senator Thurman, from the select committee appointed, on mouvn of Senator Sprague, to inves- tigate the charges mede against him of unlawful wamic with revels in Texas during the jate war, to-day submitted @ report. The committee, after reviewing all the pavers furnished by the War Department, say they flud nv evidence of any com- pheity of Senator Sprague in the alleged transac- tions. They implicate Messrs, Harris and Hoyt and Probably sowe overs, but say there is nothing to implicate Senator Sprague. The report quotes the uusworn statement of Hon. Thomas A. Jenckes, of Rhode Iaiand, and includey the ist of witnesses fur- misbed by Lim, some of whom are in Texas, others An Colorado, others in New York, and the most im, portant one, Colove) Reynolds, is in Europe. The report concludes as foliows:— Ali that your committee can do wnder the circum. stances, aud aiter having found that there 1s noting in the papers imphcating Senator Sprague, is to ask, as ihey now do, that they be discharged from furtacr consideration of the subject. The report contains a@ letter from G. W. Paschal, counsel for Senator Sprague, asking the continuance of the committee during the next ses- sion m order that, in justice to Senator Sprague, the Witness named by Mr. Jenckes be examined, but the report rays this 1s a request not within the province of Lic committee to decide. Tie commit- tee were accordingly discharged from further con- Bideration of the question. The Redempiien of O'd Coins. Both houses have passed the bili authorizing and requiring ‘he Secretary of the Treasury to redeem in Jow/ul money, under such rules and regulations as he may from time to Ume prescribe, ail copper, rouge, nickel nud base metal coinage of any kind heretofore authorized by law when presented in sume of not Jem Man twenty collars.

Monthly report No, 6 of the Bureau of Statistics, just issued, gives a statement of the exports tor the calendar year 1870 as compared with 1869, showing that im the latter year the imports exceed the ¢x- Ports $68,692,422, while in the former year the ex- cess was only $2,214,493, being an apparent im- provement of $66,477,925. Deducting, however, the difference in the warehouse account, the real im, Provement of 1870 over 1869 is $61,771,737 Nominations Sent to the Senaic.

The joint select committee on retrenchment, who were, by a resolution of the Sonate, passed Decem- ber 14, 1870, instructed to furnish a comparative de- tailed statement of the cost of collecting the cus- toms revenue of the ports of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans and San Fran- cisco, with such recommendations favoring areduc- tion in such expenses as they may deem compatible ‘With the interests of the public service; algo to par- ucularly report on the present system and practices connected with the warehousing busincss at the port of New York; also in relation to what is com- monly known as the general order business and the cartage of goods while in custody of the govern- ment, beg leave to submit the following REPORT:— Under the first clause of the foregoing resolution the com- mntitee have prepared & comparative statement of the et toms collections from various sources, iso the expenses and percentage of expense on the amount collected at each Of the above named ports, with the exception of San. Iran. cisco, for the year ending ‘June. 8, 1870. This” statement will be found “in “tabular form in the appendix. e percentage of expense ranges from W179 on $180,188 005 18 of collections at New Yorkecs 0.1,019 on. $8,621,210 07 of collections at New Orleans, The of coileeting’at New Orieans has since been materially reduced, as is shown by a similar statement of the customs business at that port for the six months ending December 31, ‘The entage of expense is no criterion by which to Judge the comparative economy of the administration at the “different ports, A certain amount of official machinery is necessary when- ever » custom hotiee is established, and the ratio of expense 4s necessarily the greatest where the business ie the ammuilest. There are other circumstances which should be taken into consideration, but which can be ascertained only by a more extended exathination than the committee have had time to make, Tuey do not, therefore, feel prepared to recommend any ‘or i REDUCING THE EXPENSES OF COLLECTING the revenue without further investigation and comparison. ‘The committee have spent considerable time and have taken A large amount of testimony upon the subjects embraced in the latter part of the resolution. A brief explanation may cond 10 @ bettey upderstandin, sondes ts bey Se esenat OME owe =n n pay their duties and take possession of tuelr goods. At the expiration of Ghat time a gotteral order is given ‘by the Collector of the Port to discharge the cargo, and all merchandise remaining gp board, 18 landed and delivered into the custody of the Custom ollicials. Goods discharged under this OrléF are known as “General Order Goode.” Under the law of 1399 the time allowed was five days. In 1604 1t was reduced to three days, and fn i861 to one day, Under tbe rulfng of the then Secretary of the Treasury, the Hon. 8. P. Chase, the law of 161 was interpreted to allow orty-eight hours irom the time of entry, und that consiruc- tion ailil obtains. Prior to the tme allowed gave the merchant ampie opportunity to pay his duties and take bis goods, 60 that very fig. was leftto be aischarged under gen- eral ‘orders, abd the government —itaelf conducted what little 'there was of” the general order business, As, however, the use of steam vessels increased and busi- ness began 10 be conducted in @ more rapid manner, the long deiay was found too great a burden upon ehip owners, &nd the law of 184 not only reduced the time for the dis- charge of steamers, but provided that in case a contract was made for fmmediate delivery the Collector might take POSSESSION OF THE MERCHANDIGE at once from steamship lines which have repular days of de- parlure: This js a matier of no small importance, especially mn winter, when ap unusually iong vorage makes ine to discharge and load with the utmost expediency in order to rail at the appointed time. ‘To facilitate their business. the steamship lines landing at Hoboken and Jersey Gity built WAREHOUSES UPON TH Hs WHARVES, Thich were placed under the supervision and control of the Uni Biates Custom House officers, Immidiately on the J of a steamsbip ite cargo was discharged into these ouses, without going from under cover, aud storea for elght hours without expense to the coneignees. By this arrangement the Interests of the goverminent were as fully protected as if the geuds had remained on board the ves- fel and the steamship company saved two days’ time, without any inconvenience to the merchants. This practice existed for many years, 20 far as the committee Lave been able to learn. to the satisfaction of all parties. Bui on the Ast day of February, 1270, the Collector of the Port ordered that ail goods discharged under general ordere should be sent to general order stores in New York, unger tne control of private parties, where they are charged a month's storage, although removed by the ownerss tustantly on their arrival. Tals entai's a HEAVY EXPENGE FOR CARTAGE AND STORAGE, a] the testimony, about #1 75 on'evi and the goods are subjected to he danger of jamage during the transit from the vessel to the storehouse. This charge is paid by the steamship companies if the goods are removed from the general order store within forty-eight hours, but at the expense of the importers through increased business very much crowded, mand of freight. All the general ord being cone at two storehouses, the; which necessarily produces coufu delay, to the great inconvenience of the merchants. The committee have been able to discover no advantage resulting from this change to any one except patties control: Ning the geveral order business. The REASONS GIVEN BY THE COLLECTOR ‘ for taking the zeneral order goods away from the Jersey City aud Hoboken stores were that they were uasale, and tbat losses resulted therefrom both to the merchants and to tbe government; that they were also used for bonded ” gouds, ‘that Steamship companies or their were themselves importers, having their own in those stores, Ali these charges have deen Investigated&by the agents of the Treasury Department and by the committee, and both the committee and the Trew Sury agents were satistied that they coald not be supported py the evidence. They could learn of but two instances of loss from these storehouses, both occurring some years ago, and ao evidence was presented showing that there had been avy smuggling trom them.

Mr. Cox—Has Genera! Butler? The controversy, which was growing more animated every moment, and which Was creating great interest anv excite- tuent oF the floor and in the crowded galleries, was inter- Tupted at this point by the Speaker, who called Mr. Cox to order in connection with his ailusion to the President, and said Le could uot permit such remarks to be made, Mr, LoGAN-—I am not using the name of avy person or in- tending to use the name of any person in connection with bis matter, and it is an insult to any man on this floor for another man to attempt to thrust into hie mouth words or ideas which he does not intend to convey.

He objected to the provision about the judzes’ eala- ries, contending that it made an improper aiscrimination ngaloat the judges of the Court of Claims ana of the Supreme Court of thé District of Columbia. He concluded by saying t it would be better for the country and better for the republican party to lay the bli on the table and ict the next Congress cet up a bill which would not rob the people as this proposed, Mr SARGENT stated, for the information of Mr. Logan, that no amount of appropriations made for Washington city would stand in that gentleman's way in regard to bis project for the removat of the capital. Mir. MORGAN, amember of the conference committee, ar- ued against the report, particutarly in reference to the State jepartinent building, which, he said, would cost 10,000,000. & Mr. Dawe expressed his dissent trom some of the propo- filfons inthe conference report, but argued that under all the circumstances it was better for the House to. agree to it asa conterence report was in iis very naturea thing of mutual concession. Mr. Cox argued that as anew Congress was to meet to- morrow this biil of abominations should be allowed to go over. Mr. LOGAN--1 think #0, too. Mr, Cox—What does the gentleman from Ilinois mean py thie redstone ring or thie Seneca ring ?

There was no warrant at all 1 for the remarke of the gentieman from New York (Mr. Cox). ‘There was nothing inthe character of the members of the House to warrant the idea that corruption was rank in this body or that there were corrupt men in the lobby.

Viscount Goderich, who went to Marlboro tnis morning, With Alpert Woodley ona hunting expe- dition,returned here to-night with a splendid bag uf game, Tbe fact that a German representative of THE BRITISH NOBILITY was in town attracted the attention of the curious at Mariporo, and the Viscount expressed his surprise at the impertinence of some of the Marylanders, who wanted to buy his gun. To-morrow night the Briush Commissioners will have another dinner at their residence, and on Monday Ear! de Grey, on be- halr of his associates, will entertain a few invited guests. THE POSITION OF STR JOHN A. MACDONALD on the Commission. ‘The ideas of the Canadian gov- ernment on that subject are shown in tne following extract from one of its official organs:— The reasons which the home government had for appoint- ing the Premier of Canada a member of the Joint High Com- een the consideration that he thoroughly. Dject, that his knowledge could be depended upon to gufde the other members in settling the facts which would form the basis of discussion, and in estimating the equivalent which myst be demanded for any concession which 1t might be fou politic to make. We know that the Whole aubject will be discussed upon itsimerits, that England will pot advance her interests at the expense any concession of fishery privileges is race to th cnng it will be in exchange for an equivalent, and that If such a calamity as war should come Canada Will be pro- tected by tbe whole etrength of the British empire. Sir Jonn himself, in explaining his position last week to the Canadian Parliament, sald:— It bad been announced 1m the House of Lords and tn the House of Commons that the action of the Commission was not final, but would be referred to her Majesty’s govern- ment for approval. Jn 1867 there had been a fishery com- mission in which England and France were concerned. ‘The English Parliament passed a law on the subject, but France did not, and so the law was inoperative. Tho cases of Eng- Jand and France and Canada and the United States were recisely analagous. The stions of the Washington Pommiseton could not be made law unless ratified by the Par- jiament of Canada, so that there was no risk in the matter, From these utterances 1t will be seen that Canada does not intend tp bea passive spectator In this Joint High Commission, and as Sir John Macdonald 18 man of marked apility he wit] doubtless make a vigorous FIGHT FOR FQUIVALENTS. That, however, is a doctrine which finds no favor with the leading men in Congress, who consider that Canada has already, in the bonding system, transit trade and use of our lake ports as ports of entry, more than equivalemt for any fishery arrange- ments that may be agreed upon. It is understood that THE SENSE OF THE NEW CONGRESS will be taken at an early day upon these subjects. The secret character of the Commission is not favor- ably regarded by leading men in Congress, who believe that in questions affecting the American people the mysterious forma of monarchical di- plomacy are unsuited to our form of government, especially when the Commissioners are not what can be called representative men. While ip Eng- land and other monarchical countries THE WILL OF THE SOVEREIGN 1s conclusive, and no power is given to the repre- sentatives of the people in reviewing treaties, it is shown that under the American constitution the Executive is not entrusted with such power, be- cause it Was intended tnat it should be possessed alone by the representatives of the people in the Senate. Hence it is contended that the only sub- stantial purpose of holding the session m Washing- ton should have been toenable American Commis- sioners to consult with the leading men of the country step by step, and the strict obligation of secrecy at the outset defeats this object, Views of the Pall Mall Gazette on the Ala- bama Claims. LONDON, March 2, 1871, The Pall Mall Gazette expresses the vellef that the High Cemmission now in session m Washington, Avoiding all difficulties as to the distribution of the Alabama claims, will agree to pay a round sum of money, leaving the division of the same to the United States government.
