They were purchased because this clase of them were being sold in the market st prices much below their value, and because their depreciation was affecting injuriously the bonds which it was desirable for the Government to negotiate, as | well as the national credit generally, These bonds which have been canceled, way be regarded as a purchase on ac- the sigking fund, or e a redemption of so much count of of the public debt. The bonds sc 1d since January lastwere 461 850, In addition to these, §7,947,700 for 7 3-10th motes, aud a small wvious to the 1st reccived by e8 of indebtedness, § of January, the notes and certificates be the Departu at the time the bonds were delivered; but | for lack of time to make the necessary calculation of in- | terest and the proper entries upon the bocks, the of the Agent was not settled, and the amount of b livered and notes received in exchange was not entered | upon the Public Debt statewent 1 Febraary, and did | not appear upon the published tement until the 1st op | March.

THE TAX FiLL. *The rapid progress made by the Scnate to day i “Tax bill indicates its eompletion by Friday. It will be but a short time in the House, and will probably be seutto a Committee of Conference before the tarifl is taken up. The House will insist upon tax of five cents per pound wpon cotton, but Boutwell's dment of three cents will most likely be agreed on in Couference Committce. RELIEF FOR CONTRACTORS. The bill for the relief of iror-clad ¢ in the Committee of Claime, where it will nodonbtremain the rest of the s tors still sleeps ion. THE AD/OURNMENT. There seems to be & general impression that Congress will be ready to adjourn before the middle of July. THE PARIS EXPOSITION. Gen. Banks achieved quite a parliamentary trinmph to- day in getting up, and finally sevding to the Conference Committce the bill for Pecuring representstion at the Paris Exposition. The Conference Committee, having privilege to report at any tiwe, they will no doubt report the bill as it came from the Senate and pass it in a fow days. The very spirited debate in the House to-day between Gen. Banks and Washburoe of Itinois on the Paris Ex- position, indicated very decidedly the temmper of the House in regard to Maximilian. It 1¢ bebeved that Gen. Banks, a8 Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, ex- pressed the opinion of that Comunittee in his remarks in roply to Washburne, in saying substantially * that the Committee would in its own time report such measures as would vindicate the honor of our Government. CONPIRMATIONS. The Senate in Executive session to-day confirmed the pomination of Lyman W. Potter as Collector of Internal Revenue for the Seventeenth District of Obio, and that of L. J. Czapka of California as Cousul st Bucharest. Ex- Gen. Edward S. Bragg was rejected as Uunited States At- tormey for Wisconsin. PRESIDENTIAL INTERVIEWS. The President to-day bad long interviews with Gov. Hamilton of Texas and George Fraucis Train. LONORS TO LEWIS CASS. Out of respect to the late Lewis Case the State and War Departments wero to-day draped in mourning. THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD. The corprators of the Northern Pacific Railroad, who projected & line from St. Paul to Oregon, have finally sbandoned all prospects of avy favorable Jegislation this session. GEN. GRANT—THE ARMY BILL—PERSONAL. Gen. Grant is expected bere to-morrow. Schenck’s Army Bill will be taken up to-morrow and be passed. Mr. ‘Whitman, Deputy Commissicner of Internal Revenuc, Das been tendered an importast position in & New-York bank, and will probably sccept of it. THE KEEPING OF PUBLIC MONEYS—D UTIES OF DISBURS- ING OFFICERS. The President has approved the bill to regulate and se- cure the safe-keeping of public money intrusted to disburs- ing officers of the United States. 1t is made their duty to deposit with the Treasury or Assistant-Treasu rers money intrusted to them for disbursemeut, and to draw from the same only as funds are required in payments to be made in pursuance of law, the violation of which, and the use of the public moneys to priveie advantage, areto be punished by fine and imprisonment. YREEDMEN—THE OUTRAGE AT GOLDSBOROUGH, X. C. The Freedmen's Burean has reccived a communication, giving the particulars of the late disturbance between the rloters asd colored people of Galdsborough, N. C., from which it appears that it was commenced by 8 Commis- sioner of the town asssulting discharged colored soldier, who was beaten by a crowd of whites. The black man was pent to prison to await the August term of the court, eolored testimony having been refused. The colored peo- ple expressed their indignation at the treatment their friend reccived, and the police were sent to srrest any who were heard to condemn the action of the authorities. Some efused to be arrested, whereupon one man was shot and snother mortally wounded. The prejudice against colored men in that section of North Carolina is represented to be bitter, and their treatment oppressive. INTERNAL REVENUE—APPORTIONMENT OF THE SOUTH. The Secretary of the Treasury to-day transmitted to the House of Representatives in answer to & resolution are- port from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, from which it sppears that the amount of direct taxes by the et of 1861 apportioned to Virginia is $937,5%0, of which | sideration, which I | and the fitt | proper accounting of o t NEW-YORK, THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1866. $584,367—collected, $54,421; apportioned to Alabama, $529,313—none collected; apportioned to Mississippi, $113, 084—collected, $25,000: apportioned to Louisiana, $3%5,886—collected, $301,167; apportioned to Tennessce, $669,498—collected, $383,811; apportioned to Arkansas, $261,886—collections,not reported; apportioned to Florida, 77,52—collected, £5,712; apportioned to Texas, $355,106 —colleeted, $47,423, The property held by the Government under seles an- thorized by acts relating to direct taxes, was purchased at prices amounting in the several States as follows: Vir- winia, §32,268; South Carolina, $05,392; Florida, $6,168; Tennessee, $8,360, In Arkausas lands were struck off for taxes unpaid to bidders who never completed their purchases to the amount of $18,600.
