The House to-dsy passed Mr. Schenck's substitute for the bill equalizing bounties, with an smendment giving the bounty to those who were discharged at their own re. | quest after the close of the war. The substitute differs from the original bill in limiting the bounties to suc h minor children as are under sixteen years of age, and gives nothing to substitutes. The Wil will give to each per- son entitled to its benefits about $300, deducting therefrom bounties from any source heretofore received. It mainly benetits those who enlisted in 1861 and the early part of 1862, when no bounty was given. The bill as amended passed with but two votes in the megative, viz.: James A. Nicholson (Del.) and Lawrence Trumbull (Ky). Gen. Schenck believes his bill as amended will not require less than $100,000,000, but it may take $150,000,000; and this fact, with the pressure already upon the ta paying energies of the people, it is thought, will defeat its pussage through the Senate. FREEDMEN KIDNAPPED. The Government is in possession of evidence going to show that & number of Freedmen bhave been kiduapped from Georgis and smuggled off to Turk's Island, to do forced work in the salt mines, or transferred to agente en- goged in the Cuban slave trade.

The Senate bill to incorporate the District of Columbia Canal and Sewerage Company, was tuken up a8 the first Dasiness in order during the dorning hour. 1t provides for & commercial canal and a sewerage between the Aua- costa River at Washington to Annapolis, a distauce of 20 miles, which would give water communication between Washington and New-York through the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, thus diminishing by several hundred miles the present water route by way of Fortress Monroe Mr. FRANCIS THOMAS opposed the bill, which he said was by no means a lo-al measure, hut one of vast import ance to his constituents. He did not want, however, to o restricted in time to the morning hour, and appealed to the House not to second the previous question. The Houe refused to sceond the previous question, and the morning hour having expired t¥m bill went over till the next private bill day. THE PUBLIC MONEYS.

The substitute was to be & vote, rs, of 84 10 33, the yeas aud nays having been re- quires o ded er fuscd, Mr. WaRD asked to have his amendment read. Mr. SCHENCK said he bad no power over the subject henck to state the difference he substitute bill. The substitute made no jion for bounty to snbsti- tutes, the Committee thinking that as a general thing v had Do proper claim against the Government. There zht be some exeeption in eages where men from unsel jsh and bumane mwotive went into the army in place of draited men, but Congress could only legislite for class and such exceptional cases could safely be left to the care of_the neighborhoods. Mr. WAERD (N. Y.) suggested that as this bill allowed bountics to colored soldiers, and as under the existing law the Jasters of cojored men who had joined the army we 1 bounty, the effect would be that s would be paid in such cases. Mr. SCHENCK (Ohio) aduwitted that such might be the case, but that the difficulty might be remedied by o of the law in question, or by an amendment to the pre he Senate. W ARD ulso suggested as amendments which he had fler, t ent hat bounty should be allowed to the soldier, when she had been upport, und also that the clause cal and State bountics should be struck out of the bill, Mr. BANKs (Mags.) undorstood from the statement of Mr. Schenck that avy State that had paid bounties up to $400 would get nothing under this, but would be com- 110 assist in paying bounties in those States which ot d 0.

An amendment relating to tar being offercd by Mr. DAR- LinG, Mr. KELLEY (Pa.) sent up to the Clerk’s desk to be read an extract from The Nortn Carolimian, published in Wilsou County, N.

Mr. HaLk (N.

EVENING SESSION. esumed its session at 7§ o'clock and re sumwed the consideration of the Tax bill, commencing at tho 23d section. tand the subsequent sections nui- bered down to section 48, related to the business of dis- tillers, ‘There were none but verbal amendments wade down to the 33d section, the 20th being passed over in- formally and withoat action. Mr. STEVENS moved an amendment to the 33d section, to change the compensation of the inspectors of distilleries from & rate not execeding $1,500 per annum to a com. mission of two cents per gallon for all distilicd spirits in- spected, the aggrezate not to exceed $1,500 per annum. ‘This gave rise to much debate, the opponents of the amendment taking the position that in Large distilleries the rate of two cents per gallon would make up $1,50 in the course of a few days or weeks, when the inspector hasing earned his salary would draw it and resign. The section was finally amended by making the com- pensation of the Tuspector $5 per day. Mr. DARLING moved on amendment to strike out the words that assess the Inspector's compensation upon the distiller, and to make it payable out of the public treasury. After some debate the amendment was rejected by o ] 51 Nays. ) moved to exempt swall distillers of ples, grapes or hes from the provisions of the scc- , which was r d. Tho Committee passed from the 2d section without making any further amendment. Mr. Haipixa (TIl.) moved to amend the 36th section by reducing the tux on whisky to $1 per gallon, argning that the Government would derive a larger revenue from the smaller than from the greater rate. Mr. HALE suggested that in view of the great importance of the section the Committee should not act upon it to- night. 1. Mokg1L opposed delay, saying Congress had made itamind not to change the present rate of duty ou whisky. ‘The amendment was rejected, and the Committee passed from the section. On motion of Mr. THAYER, the following was adopted 88 an amendment to the 42d seetion: And any Inspector, or Assistant Insvector, or officer, tem- porarily in_charge of any distillery, under this act, who shall re with the proprietor of any distillery, or with any otber person or persons, to defraud the United States of the revenie or tax arising from the dstilled spirits, or any part thereof. or who shall, with intent to defraud tbe United States of such revenue or tax, make any false o, fraudulent entry, certificate or retarn, shal be deemed guilty of 8 misdemeanor.

Moy 25, 1866, In the late United States and Colombia the case of Augustus C, Fretz involved a question so m- portant as to excite general discussion among the diplo- mats. It was argued by the Hon. 8. 8. Cox for the claim- ant, and by Mr. Curlisle for Colombis, and subscquently, ou a difference of opinion between the Commissioners, it was argued in printed brief by Col. Biddle, Commissioner for the United States, and Gen. Salgar, Commissioner for Colombia; snd the Umpire, Sir Frederick Bruce, has de- cided that Fretz, though Lolding property on the Isthmus of Panama, was a citizen of the United States for the pur- | poses of the Convention. He owned the Ocean Hotel on the Isthmus, which was destroyed by the famous riot of April 16, 1865, and it was urged that the temporary resi- dence there and the ownership of real estate gave color to his nationality, and made hin a New-Granadian citizen. His original domicil was in the United States, and it was held by the claimant’s counsel that Fretz never abandoned it; that he continued his residen in Pennsylvania, where he was born, even when he bad his place of business in San Francisco; aud that he never | dwelt in Panama, but was unll\' there as an agent of & com- | pany domiciled elsewhere. The umpire decided that he was an American citizen, and that be was entitled to com- pensation for the destruction of bis property, of whatever description; the more so as that property was intimately connected and supplementary to the Lecessities created by the Transit Route, the préservation of good order and pesce along which route the Republic of New-Granada o be the foundation of its liability in this class ‘To a share of that protection aud to ecompensa- tion for damages, resulting for the want of it, this hotel property is equitably entitled, ‘The umpire quotes the case of Pacifies, a British subject, whose Louse in Greece was destroyed; and held that ownership of the house, d with long residence, did not render bim coustruct- ively a subject of Grecee as to matters aflecting that property, or to deprive him of the right of protection sud ull compensation, which he claimed a8 o British subject.
