The Attorney-Generai remorks that bis Department has no knowledge of such disloyal demonstration on the part of any efficer subject to its jurisdiction, and be believes that none #uch bas taken place. ‘The Postmaster General says be has no information upon any branch of the inquiry, so far ss it may relate the officers and emplosés of bis Department.

XXXIXti CONGRES FIRST SESSION. SENATE. - WasHINGTON, June 28, 1866, TITLE TO DS IN BENICIA. Mr. STEWART (Nev.), from the Committee on Public Lands, reported a bill to quiet the title to certain lands in Benicia, California. BRIDGING THE MISSISSIPPI. On motion of Mr. RAMSEY (Minn.), the Committee on Post-Offices and Post-Roads were discharged from the further consideration of a petition for a general law on the subject of bridging the Mississippi River. TENURE OF CIVIL OFFICE Mr. Browy (Mo.) offered the following Resolved, That the Committee on the Judiciary be instructed to inquire into the expediency of providing by law for such & reorganization of the civil service, and especially of the Post- Office, Treasury and Interior Departments, as shull secure ointments 10 the same for specific terms after previous ex amination by proper boards; a shall provide for promotion on the score of merit or seniority and antboriae dismissals under the safeguard of trial or resignation; as sball officer each branch of the service with well-trained experts in the detaiis of its business, and as sball assimilate them all more nearly to these conditions and regulations which govern the enhistmout and officering of the army and navy of the United States, and which have successfully precluded the latter from beiug used merely as reservoirs of political patronage or ordinary appli- ances of party power. Mr. BeowN said the substance of this resolution was an attempt to conform the civil service in many of its de- tails and appointments to the regulations which govern the. ‘servioe of the eountry. He could not hope, ut this Iate stage of the session, 1o get any final or - action on this subject. A subject of such large character necessarily involves so much consideration, that all I can hope at the present time is to bring it to the attention of the distinguished gentiemmen who compose the Committee on the Judiciary, and to iuvite for it t onsideration, 1 will say furtbermore, however, that 1 b e engaged in the prel aration of bills concerning the ..l-{-‘ ts there specified, with the design of bringing them before the Senate at this session, but absence and sickness have in- terfered so largely with my ability to prepare them, that I have not been able to complete them. I'do not think it right, however, to let the whole subject go by without making some notice of it, or without stating that it is my design, if 1 am spared, to present that subject in a more tangible form at the next session of Congress. The resolution was adopted. INTEREST ON STATE MILITARY CLATMS. Mr. WiLsoN (Mass.) introduced the following jo lution, which wes referred to the Committee on Fi Resvlved, §e., That interest shall be computed and pa each State. 1l its claime for money expended by and benefit of the United States, for the pub- according to the following viz ahall poted shal have been paid of pussed all be alicwed on those or lostinterest by incipal sums on which intere be those which. before such computatio 10 the credit of such State ; second, interest soms only on which the State either paid Inter the transier of an iuterest-bearing tuud; third up to the tme of one peyment isde, which pay lied 1o the interest, and if it shall exceed the fute 3 plied to diminish the prineipal; but if it falls abort of the ue, the balance of the interest shall not be edded to the pria- cipal 00 a8 to bear interest.” THE MINERAL LAND BILL PASSED. Mr. STEWART called up the bill to regulate the occupa- tion of the mineral lands, and to extend the right of pre- am‘i_lmn. which, after a discussion, was passed. [ be Dill was published lust week.) INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL. Mr. SEERMAN (Ohio), from the Finence Committee, re- ported the Indian Appropriation bill. THE DISTRICT SUFFRAGE BILL POSTPONED. Mr. CLARK (N. H.) said that he had been requested by Mr. Morrill, who was absent, to move the postponement of the regular order, which was the District sn)fim bill, E-umng{vuwrd-y. The motion prevailed, aud the Suf- age bill was postponed. NIAGARA SHIP CANAL BILL.* Mr. Howe called up the Niagara Ship Canal bill, which was read. Pending the readiog of the bill, Mr. SHERMAN moved the postponement of the further consideration of the sub- ject until the first Monday in Decewber next. He said it involved an ultimate expense of $6,000,000. Tt was con- tingent, also, on the consent of the State of New-York, and he thought that consent ought to be obtained first. Mr. SUMNER (Mass.) inquired of Mr. Sherman whether he thought the consent of the State of New-York wi DeCEssary. Mr. SHERMAN eaid it was required by one of the pro- visions of the bill. It wasa question which might give of debate. uke:fiuinn the postponement. This was & work which interested not New-York slone, but the entire country, and therefore Con ought not to wait for the State Legislature of New-York to take the iitiu- tive steps. He hoped the motion to postpone would not prevai L. . GuraRk (Ky.) doubted the right of Congress to in- corporate a company to do the proposed work. He h doubt of the right of the Government to coustruct p: canal for National defense. He favored the postponement, not believing the Government to be at present in & condi- tion to undertake such work. It is more important to restore the South to her political and commercial relations. Mr. MaDoUGALL (Cal.) said this question was 20 years old, and there was no cause whatever why its settlement sbould be longer delayed. | Mr. HowarD (Mich.) said he was strongly and earnestly in favor of this measure, and he hoped it” would not be postponed. Mr. WADE (Obio) said he differed from bis colleage on this question. He thought it was an_important measure, and one that ought to be considered*immediately. It was now urged that the time bad not come for this work. This hiad been said for years. It was said that we could not affordit. The same &lul had been urged befors we had :‘fl National debt. He (Wade) was ready to vote for the il now. Mr. CuANDLER (Mich.) said & majority of the Com- meroe Committee was op] to ssserting the right of Congress to suthorize this work without the consent of New-York. It therefore incorporated a provision such as referred to by Mr. Sherman. He would prefer to see that stricken out. He believed that Congress had the right under the war power, as well as under the power to regu- late commetce, to pass the bill. Mr. Grrves (Iowa) rred to see the bill recommit- ted rather than postponed. He was in favor of the con- struction of the ship canal, and believed Congress had the power to construct it; but he did not believe Con| ought to authorize & private corporation to go into New- York and construet work and_control it after its con- | struction. He would vote for bill to have the work done under the superintendence of the engincer corps of the army. r. SiERMAN withdrew his motion to postpone, and Mr. Grims moved to recommit the bill to the Crmmerce Committee, Mr. TroMBULL (I11.) said he was very much gratified at the tone of this debste to hear all Senators estimate this work in its full importance. He was glad to hear that sll men were in favor of it, and that the only question was as to the time, He belisved the present financial condition of the conntry instead of being a reason for postponing the measure was a resson for iw speedy passage. When they were pressed by difficulties they put forth their ener- gies 1o recover themselves, and 5o it ought to be with nations.
