THE FRENCH RVACUATION. The official documents on the subject of the evacustion of Mexico by the French have just been printed by the Government Printing Burcau, The principal papers ap- peared in the newspapers last Tuesday morning.

THE NAVAL CONTRACTS.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has decided that all exponses for iusursuce upon qmlmny and all actual losses in business may be doducted from “the gross ineome of the y but losses sustained after Docember 31, 1865, cannot reduce the income for the year. Losses incurred in the prosecution of one kind of business may be deducted from the gains in another, but not from those portions of income derived from fixed investwents wuch as bonds, mortgages, rents and the like, The assessor #hould — also be careful not allow the deduction of amounts claimed 1o have been lost in business, when in reality they should be regurded as investments or expenditures, as when mer- chants expend money in farming or gardening for recrea- tion or adornment rather than peeuniary profit. Persous traveling about the country us the agents of manufaeturers, or deulers secking orders for goods as agents of one person, or firms only, such s salaried elerks, or men hired by the month, should not be required to take licenses as commer- cial brokers.

He regarded the matter us o national work of great importance, and one which members from all sections of the eountry should sustain, Mr. GrixNeL followed on the same side. The iw- meuse grant of land, he said, owned by the company, was not worth wore than »o0 much woonshine or clear sky— not worth & penny au acre withont access to it by milrc ad.

Mo thought it was extremely dag- gerous for tho Governuent to become godfather to a1 these @ Railroad enterprises, He contended that Congress had o right to give away the national domain, wnd likened the atterapt to the ocension when the Devil brought the Navior to the wp of an exeveding high moun- tain, from which he showed Him much pn-‘ien_v, and of- fered him very iaige tract of public land; but our Savior new that lhe?m.lxlm not own it, and said to him, et thee behiud me, Satan.” He did not expeet wuch couscientiousness however, from this rilroad company, which wonld tuke all the land offered, although Coueress bad 1o right to give it away. He thought that the soldiers were far better entitled to the bounty of Congress thau this railroad company; aud ho intimated that he had soue idea of nviting the Camdes and Amboy Raitroad Company to get its sbare of the pablic lands.

The SPEAKER replied that the gentleman from Nlinois (Mr. Washburee) objected. Mr. PRICE said he did not want to shicld himself behind the gentleman frow Ilinois. There were fifty wembers urging a vote on the bill, and after the previous questioa was sustained he would he very willing 1o give the gentle- man from Massachuscets nearly all the time, He now woved the previous question, Mr. SPAULDING moved that the bill and pending amend- ment be laid on the table. Questions of order having been raised as to whether Mr. Price could be thus eut out of Lis right to close the de- bate, the molion to lay on the table being able, the Speaker decided that slthongh it was the understanding of the House that the gentleman from Towa wa: to close the debate, and although anotion to lay on the table wasa very rare one under such circumstanees, yet the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Spaulding) had the right to make that motion, Mr. PRICE asked whether he had” pot the right to tho floor for an konr. The SpeAKER replied that if the gentleman from Ohio usisted on the motion, that cut off all debate, Mr. SPAULDING did insist on his motion, and ealled for the Yeas und Nays on it, Mr. CONKLING remarked that he thought it quite as proper for hitw to be cut off as it was for him to cut off the gentleman from Massachusetts (Banks). Mr. PRICE retorted, in cn impetuous and exeited man- ner, that he had offered to give part of Lis time to the gentleman fror Massachusetts, and that the gentleman from New-York was not to suppose that he had control of this House, When he had it would be tife enough | bim to talk in that way, and to attempt to @ “tate to other meibers, y he q table, in ion was taken on the motion to lay on the 1se interest being manifested as it becawe evie otion was to succeed, and the vote re- t 96 nays, ws follows: Baker.
