The Cabinet bad a very long Session to-day, and but four persons obtained interviews with the President. DEMOCRATIC EFFORTS. Green Clay Smith's, Johnson Club have marked five Pennsylvania Congressional Districts in which their enmergy is to be concentrated in that State for the purpose of preventing the return of the present Republicans. The Committes have subscribed for several thousand copies of & weckly paper printed here, which they are sending out franked all over these districts, in order to try aud get up & third party or get a number of Republicans to unite with the Democrats, Ohio and Indiana wiil receive the attention of the Committee next, but if their enthusiasin decreases 28 much in the next 10 days as it has in the last 10, the whole affair will probably be abandoned, except by those who make a profession of, and live off, such clubs. THE ARMY BILL. But little beadway was made on the Army bill to-day, and its diseussion now goes over until Monday. It ex- cites o groat deal of interest and will be strongly dis- cnasod beforo i pecscd, which will probably not be before the middle of the coming week. THE RECONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE had another mecting to-day, and agreed to report anothe lot of testimony on Monday next. There are sbout 20 witnesses whose testimony is quite voluminons, and though it bas all been taken on behalf of the President's policy, it is fully as damaging to that policy as any that has yet been offered, probably none more so than that of Mr. Stephens, who is still wedded to the State Right of Secession, and who, with his people, still belicve that they had a right to secede, and still have that right. Aworg the witnesses are ex-Provisional Governors Sharkey and Johnson; and among the military officers is an affidavit from Gen. Sheridan, not very flattering to the reconstructed Texans. Stephens's testimony alone is about four columns in length. THE BOOTH REWARDS. A communication was reccived by the House to-day from the Secre! f War, statiug that no final report on the decision of the Commission who, several months ago, divided up the rewards offered for the arrest of Booth, Harold and Atzerodt, hus yet been made. Why there i s0 much delay is one of the mysteries of red tape that even Congressional inquiry cannot fathom. Soon after the exeeution of the assassing, Judge-Advo- cate Holt and Adjutant-Gen. Townsend were appointed by the Secretary of War a commission to examine the claims for the rewards offered by the Government for the apprebiension of the assassins, A notice was published that all claims must be filed before January 1, 1866, The time went by, and the claims were patiently exam- ined, and a report was made by the commission who sub- mitted it with the accompanying testimony last February, The claimants are all growing restless at the delay, but are still waiting here to try and solve the problem, NAVAL OFFICERS' PERQUISITES. The present law forbidding eny commutation of quar- ters by navel officers bas, by a provision in the Naval Appropriation bill just passed, been repealed, and naval officers can now commute their quarters where none are furuished them. CUSTOMS RECEIPTS. The receipts from customs during the week ending the 6th inst., at the ports mentioned below, were s follows: New-York, 82,853,954; Philadelphia, $247,087; Baltimore, ol CONSCIENCE MOKEY. Gen. Spinner, United States Treasurer, to-day received from & conscience-stricken individual subseribing him- self ““one who believes God will punish those who are dishonest,” $30, which he states justly belongs to the Government, it being an ovel ment to him by a United States disbursing officer, while serving in the Union army. INTERNAL REVENUE. Blanks for the collection of Internal Revenue taxes for the present year are now being printed and distributed to Assessors as rapidly as possible, who are ordered by Com- missioner Rollins to commence the annual assessment as soon aé they receive thew. DEMAND FOR COLORED LABOR. Requisitions from all sections of the Union are daily received by the Assistant Commissioner of the Freed- men's Bureau, for large numbers of colored laborers, which bLe states he finds no difficulty in promptly filling, the freedmen in most cases exhibiting a ready willing- ness to immigrate to any State where their labor will be properly remunerated, rather than remain in idleness within the District. Within the past week alone, over 400 have received transportion to different poiuts in the Uunited States. To the Associated Press. WaAsHINGTON, Friday, Aprll 13, 1866, NEW-YORK QUARANTINE.

This resolution was referred to Major<Gien. Delafield, Chief Engineer, who says no definite locality in the extensive west bank is designated, nor is the character or extent of the proposed buildings and wharves, and dimensions of those stractures, given. Without such iuformation, no opinion conld be formed in angwer 1o questions dopending upon their coustruction., THE NAVAL ACADEMY. The entire appropriation for the Naval Academy at An- noxolip, e sdiusted bv the Committee of Confereuce on NEW-YORK, SATURDAY, APRIL 14, I8GG. the disagreeing amendments to the Naval Appropriation bill, is $175,000 for the enlargement of the grounds and the erection of additional buildiugs, and for & machine-shop in which it is designed to give midshipmen practical in- struction. This liberal provision may be r ! arded as de- cisive ns to the question of the removal of the Academy from Annapolis. THE PISHING INTERESTS. The President to-day, in answer to the resolution of the House on the 10th inst., requesting information in regard to the rights and interests of American citizens in the fishing grounds adjacent to the British Provin mitted a report from the Secretary of State, to whom the resolution was referred: TDEFARTMENT OF STATE, } WASHINGTON, April 12, 1566, To TiE PRESIDENT: The Sccretary of State, to whom was referred a resolution of the House of Represcntativesof the 10th inst., in the following worde: Resolved, That the President be requested to inform this House what steps have been taken 10 protect the rights and interests of American cit fsbing grounds adjacest to tie Diritish Provis whetber any legislative action on the part of Congress his judgment, necessary to secure those rights and jutc of the abrogation of the Reciprocity Tre o honor to report that the Secretary of the Navy has, by the President’s direction, cpATRLOTy Ieasures for sending, seasonably, & fuaval fo ing gronuds adjacent 10 the British North American Provinces, which foree, it is believed, will be adequate to protect the rights and interests of American citizens against uny unlawful vio- lence.

He orges that it s neces- sary, for several reasons, among which be specified that & bill signed by the Executive would give great moral weight and power to the bureau, as its cuemies believe, or profess to believe, that the Government is opposed to its operation. Something should be done, he also says, to ter education. He beli t re of economy to make provision for scl il that grants of public lands bave often been made for mueh Jess worthy objects than this would be. He urges this con- sideration at some length. He thinks the duty of the offi- cers and agents of the Bureau should be more clearly de- fined by law, and not left so much to military orders. ' The Sea Island question should be settled by statatory ensct- ment, the more especially s the freedmen who hold grants under Gen.

SAVAL APPROPRIATIONS. Mr. FALNSWORTH, in the absence of Mr. Bazks (who was sick), made a report from the Committee of Confer- ence on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the Naval Appropriation bill. The House recedes from its disagreements to the follow- ing amendments of the Senate, viz: appropriating $20,000 for the Quay wall extension, and continuing vqurk on the new machine and boiler shop, at the New-York Navy- Yard; appropriating $91, r the ship-joiners’ shop and Storchouse No. 14 at Norfolk; reducing the appropriation for the American Nautical Almanac from $2° 700 to 7 The HMouse agrees to all the foregoing.

The House recedes from its action, striking out the clause inserted by the Senate for the wurchaso of other grounds at Annapolis for the use of the Naval Adademy, $25,000, and agrees to that clause, 5 The clause in reference to the foundery and machine shops is to read as follows: * For the ercction of a ma- chine shop at the Naval Academy, $20,000.” The Senate agreed to the amendment of the fourth sec- tion, so that it will re And be it further enacted, that so much of the second sec! of an act, entitled an act to regulate the pay of the Navy of the United States, approved, March 3, 1K35, as prohibits any allowance to any officer in the naval service, for reut of quarters, or fof furniture, or for lights or fuel, or transporting bag- gage: and all acts and parts of acts authorizing the ap- pointment of Navy Agents, be, aud the same are Lereby To " Rite conference report was agreed to, NEW-YORK QUARANTINE—THE AWARDS.

THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL ROAD. On motion of Mr, FARNSWORTH, the letter from the y of War, stating the amount paid to and still by the Hliinois Central Railroad Company for transportation, &c., was transferred from the Committee on Appropristions to the Committee on Judiciary. THE ARMY BILL. The House proceeded to the cosideration of the Army bill. “The bill haviog been read in full, Mr. SCHENCK said it was not ssary for him to refer to the importance of this bill; it related to the great arm of public defense, to the number, cost and construction of that arm, as it shall be bereafter presented for the public defense. The bill was framed in conformity with the views of the Lieu- tenant-General of the ariny, and was sanctioned by the B ary of War, in so faras it regarded the pumber of the standing army. It provided for an army; - consist of 500,000 men, but with an organization capab’ of expan- sion to #2,600. His own opinion was th . the army should amount to at least 100,000 men, lwache yielded his opiion to the high authority of the Lieutenant- General commaning the army which was sanctioned by the Proxident. Without going into details, it would it et the namber apon 10 lubass too great. The Wil ,....12;.». Senrte provided for & less er than' that reported by the Commiitee on Military Affairs. The Senate fixed the number of in- fautry regiments at 50, and the Committee at 55, which was decording to the recommendation of the Secretary War and of the Lieutenant-General commanding. The paring down of these five regiments by the Senate was e v for the purpose of crowding out Veteran Reserve Corps. . The retained 55 regiments, using 10 of them for the cran Reserve Corps. The appropriation for the army during the last year of the Rebellion amounted to $516,000,000. The ‘estimate for the army proposed to be retained amounts to $33,000,000, one-six- 5th of what the army eost during the last year of the feature of this bill, differing from that of was in regard to the number of colored troops. eight regiments of colored troope; ents of colored troops. The two of the 12 cavalry regi- both bills should be composed of Housebill contained no sueh clause. would be objections from some to the preserviug of the Veteran Reserve Corps. quarte Ve would 10t LOW go INto ALY ATEUIERL 48 to the orean- ization of that corps, its services, its character, or the rinwhich it was officered. He would but say that s corps, which sprung from the nccessities of the war, hadd its birth in the exigencies of the great struggle, It was propos 1 in this bill to retain ten regiments of that corps, the ofticers of these regiments to be drawn, not ex- from those who were officers in the 24 regiments that heretofore existed, but to by ?'lv d by examizagou from nmong those officers, and from imong all othek wousded volunteer officers, who may have the requisite qualifications. These enlisted 1men e o d a8 might be fit for hit or garrison duty, who might be assigned for service ps, but all’ of whom would be rejected from sents, Another foatureof the bill reported was vation, as & distinet burcau, of the Provost- s nssistants. He knew that would bea on. Hle would say here that, consider- ing recruiting t weans of keeping up the num- bers of the army, the Comumittee concluded that some such bureau was necessary, a8 under the Adjutant-Gen- eral’s Department, recruiting had been, heretofore, de- 4 taifure. In this bill the Committee had not con- e preser Marshal and | fined the selection of the officers to be ap- pointed o fill up the original vacancies in the various arms of tho service to volunteer officers, but proposed to extend it to all volunteers, whether officers or soldi who could, by examination, prove t selves possessed of the requisite qualifications, and who should have s record of services in connection with theirqualifications, whether as privates or as officers, entitling them to such seleetion, Auother peculiar feature of this bill, differing from that fthe Scuate, was this, There was a provision in the Senate bill that in selecting officers for the mewly orgau- ized regiments two-thirds of them should be taken from volunteer officers and soldiers, the selection of the other third to be left to the discretion of the President; and that all the regular wrmy officers who have during the war commuanded volunteer troops shall be con- nected, either as regular army officers, or as volunteer officers. The committee regarded this as giving the first third of the prize to the regular srmy officers, and then remitting to the enjoyment of the mh{" two-thirds those army officers who had commanded volunteers during the war, thus cutting off the volunteer officers. The com- mittee had iuserted, in licu of it, a section, * That no officer of the regular army who has commanded voluuteer fo during the- war, shall, on that ac. count, be counted as volunteer officers, but suall only be counted as officers of the regular army. Another very important provision of the bill was o provision for revising the whole army list, as it now stood, in order to determine what officers should be properly retained in the service. It might be thought that this was very radical. The Committee had thought that in this transition period, when establishing a new army, one mode of making the army serviceable would be to have a general revision of all those who now coustituted its officers, in order to determine who should be retained. The provision agreed upon by the Committee would not interfere with many offi- cers, and might ot interfere with any of them. It was not @ Star Chamber mode of procedure, such o that which prevailed when the Navy list was re- , but a fair procedure by which each arin of the sery- should be represented in’s general council of officers, who should go through the whole Army list, set down to be retained in the seryice all against whom no objee- tion is urged, asd when they report as to any officer, that officer shall not be dimm«i disgraced, or deprived of his wosition; but that officer shall have due notice to come efore the Board with his witnesses and have bis case fairly examined and determined. ; ‘The House proceeded to consider the bill by sections for amendufent. . Mr. Davis (of N. Y.) moved to amend the first section, by reducing the number of regimenta from 55 to 50. After some debato, in which it appeared that Mr. Davis's resolution aimed at the exclusion of the Veteran Reserve Corps, the section was passed over informally, that ques- tion coming up more directly in the fifth section. The second seetion, referring to the five regiments of artillery, passed over without amendments. ‘A number of amendments wero proposed, and some "“'{’f}’,"' to the section which provides for 13 regiments of caveler. PRICE FOUR CENTS. This section gave rise to much debate, and numeroug propositions of amendment. 5 ending its consideration, the bill went over till Mone ay. ORDER OP BUSINESS. The evening session having been dispensed with, Mr. STEVESS suggested that to-morrow bglni the anni. versary of very striking event—the assassination of Mr, Lincoln—the Honse should adjourn over. The SPPAKER intimated that several gentlemen desired to speak to-morrow, r. STEVENS declined, therefore, to move to adjourn over, but moved that the proceedings to-morrow be cone fined to geeral debate on the President’s Aunual Mes- sage. It was 50 ordered. THE FISHING GROUNDS. o The Speaker presented a message from the President of the Umted States in answer to a_resolution of the 10tk inst., requesting information in reference to the rights and interests of American citizens 1o the fishing grounds ad jacent to the B Provinces, transmitting a repord Trom the Secretary of State. The message and documents were referred to ans Committee on Foreign Affairs, snd then, at 4} o’clock, the House adjourned.
