‘WASHINGTON. Both Financial Bills Passed by the House. All Redemptory Amendments Annihilated. A HOPE FOR CONTRACTIONISTS. The Logic of Letting Louis- iana Alone. THE MIGRATING MENNONITES. Wasurnaron, April 14, 1874, The House Passes Both Its Own and the Senate Financial Bill—Apprehension of the President’s Veto of the Former Measure. ‘The House to-day after the morning hour proceed- 4 to dispose of its Currency bill. Among the pend- img amendments was one in the nature of a substt- tute, being the Senate bill, with an amendment of- fered:by Mr. Wilson, of Indiana. It wasagreed that if the substitute was withdrawn, which carried with at Mr, Wilson’s amendment, then the chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency would move to go to the Speaker’s table. This sub- stitute was withdrawn, bringing the House to a direct vote on Mr. E, R, Hoar’s amendment winking at a resumption of specie Payments. In thirty minutes this bard money ‘Measure was strangled by a vote of 70 in favor to 171 against, bringing out tye entire strength of the House present. Then there remained but one other amendment, that of Mr. Foster, of Ohio, pro- viding for @ reduction in the volume of green- backs, The House was now all confusion, The members all seemed to be engaged in conversa- tion with each other, The Speaker, standing erect, calmly viewed: the noisy body after the manner of a cool-headed boy about a sugar hogs- headin fy time. For ten minutes he allowed the buzzing to go on, waiting so that a sense of de- Coram might bring the members to order. When this experiment failed he seized his gavel, beat tattoo for five minutes with the nandle and finaily, in a@ fit of desperation, put in his best licks with the ivory barrel. The Honse came to.order. Mr. Foster's amendment was read and the House pro- ceeded to kill it, the vote resulting in yeas, 105, nays 133—the most respectable vote but one Op aby amendment offered. ‘tne House bill was now fairly before the members, and on its passage 128 voted yea and 116 nay, and the bill was passed. The Speaker’s table was reached, after some . @ilatory motions, when the clarion voice of the Speaker resonnded through the hall:—‘The first journed. There was a rapid scattering of the Sen- ators, though the hour was yet too early to de- mand their presence at home to dinner, and they #eemed to have been all called suddenty on im- portant business away from the Senate Chamber. During the early part-of the day quite a degree of excitement was occasioned, owing to its having become noised about that the Comptroiler of tie Currency haa written to General Garfleld, of the | House of Representatives, saying that the amend- ment of Senator Scott, incorporated in the sub- stitute of Senator Merrimon, was going to prove virtually a measure of contraction rather than one of expansion. This view was of course largely con- troverted, as it was so suddenly brought up as to allow of no deliberation upon it. Senators Sherman and Thurman tntimatea that they were aware of the probable working of the Scott amend- | ment. Schurz also signified that he was aware when the said amendment was added to the Merrimon substitute that it would have an effect to cause contraction. Much diversity o! opinion prevailed, however, a6 to this construction, and the calculations of the Gomptroller of the Currency were differed with, even by Senators Sherman and Morton. A general feeling of disappointment, however, was felt by the more prominent of tne Senators constituting the majority at the fact of | the reception by Senator Merrimon of the Scott amendment, which was somewhat superinduced | But the | by the advocacy of Senator Logan. opinion prevails that the majority, as lately mant- fested in the Senate debate on finance, still held it in thetr power to pass any supplementary legisia- tion which would be requtred to defeat any unto- | ward operation on this bill, It is contended without any hesitancy that tne bill which passed the House to-day favoring free banking will be concurred in at once when it Teaches the Senate, Senators Conkling, Howe and Bogy having in the iast debate avowed themselves in favor of that measure, when surrounded by what they call salutary safeguards. The Inflationists Stultifying Themeelves and Blundering Into the Passage of Two Irreconcilable Currency Bills. Nothing could be more absurd than the course of the House to-day on the currency question. First it passed Maynard’s bill. Then it passed the Senate bill, They are as irreconcilable as oil and water, and now in what position does this place the President ? If the motion to reconsider the vote on the Senate bill be voted down, as the mover intended it should be, that bill will go tothe President the day after to-morrow, and he must approve it, veto it or auffer it to become alaw by pocketing it, without knowing whether Maynard’s will pass the Senate or not; for it is plain that that bill, with the Louisiana and other great questions immediately before in it the Senate, cannot be passed within ten days. The conse- quence will be that the President must act upon the Senate bill in face of the fact that the House, which passed it, in the same breath Tepudiated it by passing the Maynayd bill. Cers i | ‘document on the Speaker’s table isa veto from | the President of the United States.” Wuat could have been more startling to the country members! Some were ignorant enough to suppose that the | President, anticipating the passage of the Senate bill, had sent his veto in advance. Roars of Jaughter followed tne announcement, and after the reading of the message which related to the claim of an officer of a New York volunteer regi- ment, the House relapsed into its noisy con- dition. On the outside of the seats were a num- ber of Senators. Sprague supported the rear wail, assisted by Congresman Eames, of Rhode Island. Harvey, of Kansas, helped the screen in front of the main entrance to stand erect. Pease, of Mississippi, reposed in a member’s seat. Flana. gan leaned on the arm of Bufinton, of Massachu- setts, while Logan, like ageneral in time o! battle, stodd afar off watching the result of the parliamen.- tary movements, Mr. Maynard assumed command Of the floor, and when the Seuate vill was reached and had been read, moved the previous question on its passage. Mr. Cox wanted the House to ad- Journ. George F. Hoar raised tour points of order about the right of the House to consider the bill without debate, followed by Mr. Garfield with two points, when the Speaker reminded the gentlemen that the points raised by them would also raise the question whether the bill had prop- erly originated in the Senate. The Chair declined to take the responsibility of deciding eo important a matter, and Mr. Garfleid » the point that the bill was not properly before the House “aiid that it shontid be returned tothe Senate. On this thé yéad‘and mays were called, the vote proceeding amid great confasion, as it was evident the Senate bill was destined to pass. The yeas were only 58, the nays 379. So the House proceeded to vote on the ‘Passage of the Senate bill, and at five o'clock the Dili passed—yeus 140, nays 102, Now that the Senate bill has passed and goes to the President to-morrow for his scrutiny the interest on what the bill actually pro- vides becomes more intense. All kinds of efforts have been made to mystify the bill, some claiming that it isthe most rigid of contraction measures. The facts are simply these :—The,Senate Finance Committee, in perfecting their bfil, were guided by the voice of the West in providing im section 5 a plan by which the reserve required by law should be kept in the vaults of the country banks, and thereby prevent the New York banks from operating with the reserve. The difficulty with the country banks during the last panic, tt ‘was Claimed, was that the reserve could not be got from the New York associations, and hence the general lack of confidence and panicky feeling iu every direction. That section was identi. eaily the same as offered by Senator Scott on ‘the 6th of April and accepted by Senator Merrimon a3 part of his substitute, and so stands to-day ‘as passed by the senate and House. It retains one fourth of the gold interest received on bonds held by the government as security for their cir- culation, ana only requires one-fourth of the re- @erve to be kept in New York, and prohibits interest on whatever is placed there. The effect of this is plainly to restore to the @ountry banks a portion of the reserve, t® strengthen their credit, and though it will virtu- ally lock up for the present sixty or seventy mil- Mons of greenbacks, a supplementary bill will be offered, relieving the banks from holding so large a@ reserve for their ciroulation; so that the amount which will be kept inthe New York associations shall not exceed five per cent of their circulation | for redemption purposes. ‘Ihe House bill as it passed already provides for this in another form, the five per cent to be kept inthe Treasury ; and while it also provides for (ree banking, it does not pro- vide for an accumulation of gold. This feature is most dear to the President, and, as the Senate Dill already provides for all the currency the West ‘and South wiil be likely to want for several years, mo effort will be made, it is said, to amend the House bill in the Senate; and, should 4t pass the Senate, there is grave apprehen- sion that the President will veto it as an unnecessary measure. Under the operations of ‘the Senate bill, as it now stands, it is claimed that the amount required to be kept in New York for Feserve would be but very little more than under | ‘the provisions of the House bill requiring five per cent in greenbacks to be kept in the Treasury for the redemption of circulating notes. The Financial Action of the Day~Will the Senate Bill Work a Contraction of the Currency—Inflationists Startled. About three o'clock to-day member of the | House came over to the Senate Uhamper to pri- | ‘vately notify the Senate that the bill to provide free banking had passed the House. Senator Frelinghuysen had finished a discourse to which he evidently gave much earnest and studious atten- tion, put did not create much enthusiasm, though he was closely followed ~ by Senators Morton, Conkling and Carpenter, as well as others, ‘There was no desire to speak further during the @ay’s session On the subject of Louisiana, and considerable interest prevailing in the events tranepiring at the other end of the Capitol, Sena- ter Morton moved an executive session, which Iaated but a few pilQutes,ana the Senare then ad-_ tainly no political party ever placed its Chief Mag- istrate in such a quandary betore. Indeed, no words can express the blundering and stultification of which the inflationists have beon guilty. In- tending inflation, they have passed the Senate bill Which, if it becomes a law, will be in its practical | effects a far more rapid and sweeping measure of contraction than has ever been proposed by even the most ardent resumptiontst. Then the House, intending ination, bas passed Maynard's bill, } | | enjoyment of inns, public conveyances on landor water, theatres and other places of public amune- ment, and also of commou schools and public institutions of learning or benevolence, supported, im whole or in part, by general taxation; and of cemeteries so supported, sunjéct only to the con- ditions and limitations established by law and applicable alike to citizens of every race and color, regardless of any previous con dition of servitude, Any person deny, ing to any Citizen any privileges conferred by the bill shall pay $500 to the person aggrieved, and nal ajso be deethed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, shali be fined not less than $600 nor more than $1,000 or be impris- oned not Jess than thirty days nor more than one year, Tue District and Circuit Courts of the United States are given, exclusive of the courts of the several States, cognizance of all offences against the bill, and actions may be prose- cuted in any United States Court wherever the de- fendant may be found, without regard to the other party, Ahy District Attorney who shall wilfully fail to institute and prosecute the proceedings re- quired, shall, ior every such offence, forfeit and pay the sum of $500 to the person aggrieved, and, upon conviction thereof, be guilty of a misdemeanor and be fined not less than $1,000 nor More than $5,000, No citizen shall be disqualified or United States court on account of race, color or Previous condition of servitude, and any ofMicer who shall exclude or fail to summon any citizen for that cause shall be fined not more than $5,000. All cases arising under the act may be reviewea by the Supreme Court of the United States, The Appropriation for the San Fran- ciseo Mint Exhausted—Great Demand for the New Trade Dollar. ‘The Chairman of the House Committee on Appro- Priations received to-day a despatch irom the Superfhtendent of the Mint at San Francisco, notifying him that the Mint at that place will be compelled to stop to-morrow for want of funds, The Mint has been coining immense quantities of the new American trade dollar, for which there is @ large demand ahead and which is rapidly sup- planting the Mexican dollar as a medium of circu- lation in China. The Mint has aiso been coining unusually large quantities of gold, and it is under: stood that it is on this account that the appropria- tion has been exhausted. The appropriation tor the next fiscal year wi!l not be available for more than two months. It will be necessary toummake |p. spectal appropriation in order that operations mag, continue. It is probable that the Secretary of the Treasury will authorize the Superintendent to continue, ag there ts:no doubt that the special ap- propriation will be promptly made by Congress. The Expenses of the Five Per Cent Loan. The Secretary of the Treasury, in compliance With a resotmtion of the House, reports the cost of refunling the national debt into the five per cent bonds authorized by the act of Congress, July 14, 1870, and January 30, 1871, &c. The whole amount of bonds refunded is $314,416,150, as follows:—Bonds bearing six per cent {nterest to bonds bearing five per cent interest, $800,461,150; bonds bearing five per cent interest, loan of 1858, to bonds bear- ing five per cent interest, funded toan of 1881, $13,955,000, The cost thereof has been $1,440,792. By the terms of the agreement with the parties which also, if it become a law, will operate to con- | “tract the currenéy, and which in some of its most impartial provisions is wholly irreconcilable with the Senate bill. Never.in the history of legisiation have such ignorance, such blundering, such a muddie been seen. To tell the trath in a sentence, Congress, under the contrel of the inflationists, has made itself the laughing stock of the world. The Louisiana Debate=McEnery Gain- ing Ground. In the Senate, according’ to the agreement of yesterday, the bill offered by Senator Carpenter to secure & republican government to Louisiana was taken up, and Senator Frelinghuysen, in a long and comprenensive speech, consumed the day in oppoaision to the bill, Many of the Senators paid close attention to the arguments made by Senator Frelinghuysen, and mgnitested a desire to give the Subject their undivided attention. The consid- eration of the question will undoubtedly oc- cupy some time, and a great many speeches are tobe made in discussion of it. Senator Car- penter believes that if all the democratic Senators will support the bill it will undoubtedly pass the Senate. Senator West will take the greund in his speech that there is nothing in the evidence before the Senate to warrant any constitutional consideration of it, Dor eyen anything to establish the slightest propriety in interlering with it. He will therefore, it is thought, move to lay the whole thing on the table a3 soon as he has got off his Hittle ‘speech on the state of affairs in Louisiana, and avert the effort, as he contends, to turn things topsy turvy by ordering a new election as contemplated by Senator Carpenter's bill. Senators McCreery and Bayard are frequently seen in close consulta- tion with Governor McEnery, who remains on the floor quietly seated on a lounge. They are very much interested in the progress of the case and the contestant for gubernatorial honors, in the person of Governor McEnery, watches every move that is made. Senator Morton has prepared a very fall and comprehensive speech on Louisiana affairs, fail of statistics and figures pertaining to the conduct of the State government, and to the Funding bill, which has occasioned so much con- cern in New York and Europe, Sengtor Conkling is represented to have been appealed to by thé New York bondholders to see if he can- not stay the repudiation idea now so pre- valent and threatening in the disposition to be made of thé Louisiana question. A atartling speech, with new premises and references, is to be made by one of the Southern Senators, in which he will take ground that if McEnery is not law- fully Governor of Louisiana, then Governer War- moth is; or, at the furthest, allowing the fact of his impeachment to have force, the legal tenure of- the office will fall to Lieutenant Governor Pinch- back. ~ Democratic Caucus on the Louisiana Question—Unanimous Support of Mr. Bayard’s Substitute and a Division on Carpenter’s Bill. A caucus of the democratic Senators was called to meet in the room of the Committee on Private Land Claims, after the adjournment of the Senate this afternoon, for the purpose of determining upon a line of action with reference to the Louisi- &na matter. Mr. Bayard presented his substitute for the Carpenter bill, of which he gave notice yes- terday, and it was unanimously determined to supportit. This substitute requires the President to notify the people of Louisiana by proclamation that there will be no federal interference to pre- vent McEnery and Penn from taking possession of the office of Governor and Lieutenant Governor. The caucus also determined with equal unanimity to vote against the motion which is to be made to lay the Carpenter bill on the table. The question then came up as to the course which should be pursued on the Carpenter bill itself, Messrs, Saulsbury, Hamilton of Mary- land, Thurman and Bayard all argued that it would be a very impolitic step for the democratic Sena- tors to vote for @ bill recognizing in such @ dangerous shape the power of Oon- gress to interfere in the interna) ad- ministration of a State government, even under circumstances more aggravating than those presented by the case of Louisiana, General Ran- om, of North Carolina, was inclined to vote for the Carpenter bill, as a lesser evil than the con- tinuance of the Kellogg usurpation over the people of Louisiana, General Gordon, who seemed to be convinced by the arguments of Beauregard that it was his duty to vote for a new election, admitted that it was a very serious proceeding, but thought that, taking everything into consideration, he could conscientiously give his vote for thé Carpen- ter bill. After some further interchange of views the caucus adjourned without coming to any de- cision on this point, and it ts probable that on this point the democrats will be divided, as they were on the Currency bill. Substitute for Charles Samner’s Civil Rights Bill. ‘The substitute for Mr. Sumner’s Civil Rights bill reported by the Judiciary Committee to-day pro- vides that all persons within the jurisdiction of the United States aball bo entitiod to full and euual + | | contracting for the loan they were to pay all ex- penses and to receive for their compensation the one-half of one per cont allowed by | law. Upon settlement with said parties all | expenses incarred by the government were first deducted and the balance only paid them, The reiunds on account of the loan of 1855 ($13,955,000) apd the moneys received from the Geneva award ($15,500,000) were not made through any contract- ing parties, and therefore no commissions thereon were allowed. In the adjustment of ditferences in interest between the six per cent bonds redeemed and the five per cent bonds issued in lieu thereof the government has received its proper allowance. Large Exchange by the Secretary of the Treasury of Five Per Cent for Six Per Cent Bonds. Secretary Richardson has made a negotiation for the exchange of half a militon new five per cent honds for a0 equal amount of six per cent fiyo- twenty bonds, par for par, adjusting interest to the time of exchange on each and allowing only one-quarter of one per cent commission. This ig one of the most favorable sales of the new bonds which has yet been made. The Secretary will make further excbanges on the same terms with any partios who may apply. PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. SENATE, Wasminaton, April 14 1874. LAST WORK. Mr. Freuinanvysen, (rep.) of N. J., from the Committee onthe Judiciary, reported back the Civil Rights bili intro- duced on the first day of the session by the late Senator Sumner, with an amendment and recommendation of the majority of the committee that it be passed as amended. Placed on the calendar. Mr. Dorsey, (rep.) of Ark., Introduced a bill to estab- lish @ national railrosd bureau and for the general government of railroads. Referred to the Transporta- tion Committee, THE MENNONITES. Adams, Mr. Wrxvom, (rep.) of Minn., called up the bill toena. | ble the Mennonites of Russia to effect a permanent set- tlement on the public lands of the United States. In ad- vocating the passage of the bill Mr. Windom spoke of the Mennonites as being an industrious and energetic class of people, and said to secure their settlement in this | country if whe ikcéssdty fo have liberal legislation. The | Canadian government had offered great inducements to have them settle at Manitoba, but they preterred to come to this country. It was not their intention to come here in a body and take possession of large tracts of public land. Their occupations were different, and they would distribute themselves throughout the Western country. Mr. Epxunps, (rep.) of Vt., opposed the passage of the bill, and said it was not in accordance with the spirit. ot olir government to open the public lands to the exclusive occupation of any sect or race. ‘In this nation there should be no exclusion, but every ian should have CEA Frees and stand on the same footing with bis neighbor. it. CLAYTON, (rep.) of Ark., also opposed the passage of the bik, EXEMPTION PROM MILITARY DOTY. Mr, Warpow said the lands were only to be held tor a term of two years, and if they were not taken up by that time they would be open to any one else, They wanted time to dispose of their lands in Rusa before coming | not proposed in the Dill to exempt them | duty or grant them any special privileges. | (rep.) of Connecticut, said he had received | tion that lennonites desired to leave Rus- sia on account of the Russian government requiring them to perform military duty, and that in this country Mr. Feary, they expected to be exempted from such service. He was ngt willing that any such Le ot people should come here under the protection of our laws, settle within our territory and be exempted from contelbuting | their share to the common defence. In his belief, 1f an | amendment be inserted in the bill requiring them to be- | come citizens of the United States, not one of them would settle here. Mr CamEnon, (re) of Pa., said there were a number of Mennonites residing iu Pennsylvania, and they were the best citizens of that State. OTT, FSP.) of Pa., saia he concurred in ali that by bis colleague (Mr. Cameron) in regard tothem. They were industrious, and for integrity and good moral character were not to be excelled. by any Class of people in the country. He thoughtit proper to encourage them to come to our shores. Pending the discusnon the morning hour expired, aud the bill went over. Mr, KELLY, (dem.) of Oregon, from the Military Com- mittee, ted back the memorial of the Legislature of lontan: itory asking protection against depredations | of Indians, with a recommendation ferred to the Secretarmof War. It was so ered. Mr. Fuxton, (lib.) of N. Y., presented resolutions of the | Union League Club deprecating any inflation of the cur- rency, rred to the Commitiee on Finance, RIGHTS OF NATIONAL BANK STOCKHOLDERS. Mr. Scort, (rep.) of Pa., from the Finance Committee, roported, with amendment, the bill amendatory of the National Currency act, belng the bill introduced by Mr. Conkling, in January last, in relation to individual hts or stockholders in national banks. Placed ou the r calendar, THE LOUISIANA BILIs Mr. CaRPRNTER, (rep.) of Wis. moved that the Senate Proceed to the consideration of the bill to provide fora | new election in Louisiana, Mr. SHERMAN, (rep.) of Ohio, said he hoped the bill would not be taken up. He did not desire to prevent any | Senator making a speech on the subject, and at the proper time he would move to lay it on the table. ‘Mr. CaRpenten said that so tar as he was concerned he meant business, and wanted the Senate either to pers | the bill or kill it, He did not bring it here for a foovball, that speeches might be made, but tor action. The bill was then'taken w) Mr. Fretincuuysen (rep.) of N. J., made a legal argument as to the powers of the President under the Coustitution, and contended that the appeal macte to him to interfere in Louisiana was one which he was com- pelled to heed, bein, rn to execute the laws. Pipers MA FACIE CLAIM. The procedure contemplated here was without preco- dentin the history ot the general government, and if the federal government, in the exercise of an arbitrary power, were to set aside State he 39 tures and Siete be Rovernments, then there woul an end to all 8 rights. Congress had better far let the State suiler for its own misdeeds—even let the innocent su: with the gulity. The federal government had guaranteed to Louisiana a government when its troops were sent there. it there had been fraads in the election and usurpations of office let the remedy be found in the courts of the United states, If Congress should interfere now It should be to install Mr. Meknery Father than order s new election, ws the Senator trom Wisconsin (Mr, Carpenter) admitted that he (Mr. Mo- Enory) had $696 majority. of the votes cat if there had been iraud on his aide it made no difference, a he had @ prima Jace claim to the aifca apd it for service as a grand or petit juror in any State | NEW YORK HERALD.

ALBANY, April 14, 1874, The Supply bill was reported to-day to the Sen ate, leas by $740,000 than when it lett the hands of the Assembly. It was made a special order for tow morrow morning. The appropriation for the new Capitol is reduce@ from $1,500,000, a8 passed by the Assembly, tal $1,000,000, And the provision for the demolition of Congress Hall is rejected. No change in the com. mission is reported; the determination of thag point is regerved for future consideration. Th amount of $150,000 voted by the Assembly to ti Badalo Asylum is stricken out, leaving for that in- stitution the smal) sums needed for indebtedness and for certain necessary expenses. The appros priation to the Middietown Asylum is reduced to about $17,000, and those to the Elmira Reforma tory, the Poughkeepsie Hospital and the Willard@ Asylum are unchanged. To the amount given the Binghamton Inebriate Asylum $10,000 are added for the purpose of providing a boiler, sewer, &cd The sum of $16,000 inserted by the Assembly for the Susquehannah Valley Home is stricken out, and also the appropriation of $50,000 for the Sara- toga Monument. Among other appropriations re~- Jected are those for the Adirondack survey, for various counsel tees which are held to be charges able to the cougties\interested, and for severaS other minor claims. A extra alloyances to eme ployés of the Legislature and other persons are stricken out, ‘I'he committee have held that they: should give to none or to all, and have sought to bring the measure back to its orig- inal character as a deficiency Dill, With the reduction of $500,000 in the amount for. the new Capitol and the other reductions which are made, the aggregate appropriations are about $740,000 less than the bill contained as 1G passed the Assembiy.

The end is seen clearer now that | the Supply bill is reported to the Senate, A great | number of bills will fall entirely through, and no- body will weep except the framers. So far Governor. Dix has signed 164 bills, all of which are of minor and local interest. The only one of interest to New York is the bill compelling the payment of the. quota of the State taxes by the Comptroller at the same time as all the other counties of the State. No jobs have become law, and none as yey have, reached the Governor, whose scrutiny it will be hard to escape. To Governor Dix much credit for, the improved character of legislation this ise) may be attributed. ‘The lobbyists and the job! generally stand In fear of the Governor, for he cai neither be bought nor coerced, and the trade of le wi for nor need, aud it is waste of time for those who think they can seize valuable franchises tor pur- poses of sale to labor with the Legislature for the: passage of their bills.

The’ transactions of the meeting were strictly private, and no further . informa. tion of the proceedings could be elicited than as indicated in the following resolutions as to the company’s intended action, The company will appeal to the government at Washington to be reinstated in its position at Samana Bay. First, because it had not been in the possession of the revenues of Samana for the entire year, for whicn the rent of $160,000 bad been paid in ad- vance when the decree of annulment was pub. lished, Second, that an advance on account of the second year’s rent had been made to the Dominican government and its receipt acknow- ledged by it. ‘Third, that the present revolu- tionary government had notifiea the company not to pay the rent forthe current year until there should be a regular organized government any authorized to receive such rent, Which ig not tht cage as yet. ‘The company will further demand of the present de sacto government of St. Dor an indemnity for damages caused by the false declaration of its manilesto, “that the lease of Samana was an arbi- trary and illegal act of ex-President Baez,” whereas it was the jt UnAnuMOUS act of the Dominican people. Some time since, also, the company offered to the government of the United States the island of | Alevantado, or such other avaliable position as it might require for @ naval and coaling station in the West Indies, om such terms as the United Mr. Spencer moved this evening to take the Eastman bill oft of its regular course, and place 16 in Committee of the Whole. A sharp debate en- sued, Messrs. Alvord and Hammond protesttn; against the motion and Messrs. Spencer and a arguing in favor of it. The attitude of the New York delegation being on tne side of tne bill, the country members changed their minds about opposing it, and the vote in favor of the motion’ stood 72 to 2—Hammond and Alvord in the nega- tive. The bill stood third in the order ol specii orders, and upon being reached progress Ww: reported without debate. It comes firsi in the? next Committee of the Whole. THB COUNTY TREASURER'S BILL was lost in the Senate on a third reading. ‘A USEFUL BILL PASSED THE SENATE. ‘rhe bill declaring illegal the putea an dissemination of false news, intended to aifect thi pice of stocks of any kind whatever, passed tn nate, BROOKLYN POLITICIANS William ©. Kingsley and a formidable gang of | Brooklyn politicians arrived this aiternooa. They \ Want the bili passed pr ee the directorate of the bridge. In other words, they want to keep this hu; job in their hands until they squeeze’ | some $5,000,000 or $6,000,000 more out of the people of New York and Brooklyn. General Slocum, of the Brooklyn delegation, on THE KAST RIVER BRIDGE BILL, says that a compromise bas been entered into, by | Which private capitalists are ruled out from con- tributing to the undertaking, ana the ex- pense for the future will be borne, one~ third by the city of New York, and two- thirds by the city of Brooklyn. Certificates of in-- debtedness will be issued to the private stock- holders, bearing seven per cent interest. The representation in the directionate will be in pro- portion to the expense devolving on the two cities, eight directors for New York and sixteen for, Brooklyn. The private stockholders have no rep- resentation. AN EFFORT TO “BEAR ERIE, A month agv a nwnber of circulars were liber. ally scattered through bvotit houses, giving certaim statements of Mr. Dunan against the Erie Ratle road, and asking fora Cornatitee: of investiga- tion. To-Gay the same circulars made their ap- pearance, with the same purpose. This effort to obtain a committee has been strenuously urged by the agents of Jay Gould; but, up to the present, they have proved a failure. It 1s so clearly @ stock- jobbing operation that it is not likely the attempt. will have any better fate than it has met thus tar, AN AMUSING HUBBUB is made to-day by a ponderous delegation of Ger- man-American citizens, including Godfrey Gun- ther, Uswald Ottendorfer, Sigismund Kaufman, Franz Sigel and numerous others, about the bill to: give the President of the German Emigrant Soci- ety full powers on the Board of ‘ation Com- missioners. If the fate of the nation depended on the settlement of this question there could hardly be a more intense feeling. All the at Teutonic names of New York ure enrolied in the delegation., Strong as the representation appears, the point will hardly be settled in theirfavor. Itis said if the President of the German Society be made a Commissioner, there is no denying the claim of the President of any other emigrant society, irish, Italian, English,;French, Russian or Chinese, I¢ would ‘be an unrivalied poly tot commission. The delegation appeared this evening before the joint Committee on Commerce and Navigation. feasrs. Ottendorfer, Kauimann and others spoke and presented their cases with uncommon earn- estness and feeling, THE EDUCATION BILL. In the Assembly this evening, the special order being the bill to unify the supervision o1 the edu- cation of the State by placing it in charge of the Regents of the Untversity, after debate and a num~ per of amendments, Mr. West moved to recommit it with instructions to strike out the enacting clause, This was carried by a vote of 44 to 27, thus killing the bill.
