RO VOTH ON THE TARIFF RILL—NIGHT SESSION OF THR SENATE—ACTION OF THE HOUSE ON THE PAPAL MISSION—THE INTERNAL REVENUE TAX B.LL—A BOUTHERN FPLAN OF RECONSTRUCTION— MR. RULBURD APPOINTED CONTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY-~THE JAFFA COLONY. * WY TELBCRAPE TG TMN TRIBONE. WasiuNeroN, Wednesday, Jan., 50, 1867, 4n the Senate to-day a resolution was introduced calling for a copy of the letter which drew the letter of inquiry from Mr, Seward to Mr, Motley, and in of- fering it Mr. Swmner said he had received what he ‘believed to be of the very same letter, but had paid no atten’ swhatever to it, net deeming the source worthz of the least credit. Mr. Brown intro- duced & bill for the construction of & Government Telegraph I jine between New-York and Washington. It is the 0l f bill of tho last and previous sessions. The Gold bill igs reported adversely from the Finance Committ go, and is therefore dead. The Tariff bill eame uPgat 1 o'clock, and was discussed until 5, when s rece s till 7 was taken. Mr. Sumner failed in an effort te. veduco the tariff on Nova Scotia ceal 1050 fents pertun. - The question was debated for an lwl!i;r more, but the vote was nearly two to one aga’ the change. The duty en wrought iron 81 aps was increased to §8 péx tan. Other additions of isportance were made, as on coarse limen and Ware. Heuso went to work in earnest to-day. A large ) samber of bills were reported from committees, and endered to be printed in order to be in readiness to bo ‘metéd upen ; -also a number of hills were' introduced Wy individual members, aud were referred to their appropriate committees, There are only 27 working days left the present Qongress, and any bill about which there exists any doubt as to it8 receiving the President's signature must be passed before the 23 of February or be de- feated by constitutional limit, in case the President willmot sign. Several very imiportant bills are yet t0 be acted upon,améng which the Tariff, Inter- nal’ Revenue, and Civil Tenure of Office bills, and sovetal of the principal appropristion bills, In order to get these definitely settled, it will be necessary “for . the House to com- mence its regulor night seesions next week. To-day the Diplomatic and Consular Appropriation dill, and several other appropriation bills, were under discussion. A somewhat lengthy debate was had on the proposition to abelish the mission to Rome. 1t was finally agréed to hereafter retain only a Con- sulat that point. An attempt wis madéto have a night session, but it failed. Commissioner Rollins was in eonference with the ‘Ways and Means Cominittce to-day in regard to the Internal Revenue Tax bill. The Committte bave thus far passéd npon but a few articles which-it pro- posed to put into tho free list. The Commissioner in- formed them that there was a great falling off of the pevenue receipts within the last 60 days, aund, from present indications, it was likely to diminsh- still more during the next six or nine months, on account of thegeneral stagnation of business. The Commit- tee have therefore decided not to pass upon any arti- cles until they get the Tariff bill, and then it islikely but little if any reduction will be wade on the leading articles. The sub-commit{ee are still engaged ex- aming into the whisky tax. It will be some days be- fore they will be ready to report. Commissioner Rolling is in conference with them every evening. He s opposed to making reductions at present in the tax. He favors stringent. legislation, believing it VIII put a stop to frands. - The Committee, howaover, ave very much divided on the question, and it is doubtfal what they will reeommend. ‘The Finanece Committoe of the Senate were again #n session to-day, and went into the examination of a number of brokers from New-¥ork upon !he subject ofithe sale of gold. The book publishers of our large cities are now here in strong force, endeavoring to effect a change in the tariff on books, which is now 25 per cent ad valorem. The Republican State Committee of New-Hamp-~ bhire have ordered 10,000 copies of Judge Shellabar- ger's speech, delivered last Saturday in the House of Representatives, on Stevens’s Reconstruction bill, for circulation during the existing campaign in that State. The same number also been ordered by thie delegation of loyal Arkansas men now in this city. A caucus of the Demoeratic members of Congress ‘was held this evening at the rooms of the Judiciary Committee. Judge Niblack of Indiana presided. About 25 members were present. Bhe discussion was free but rather informal, and resulted in no definite setion. The chief matter of interest was the pro- priety of calling a national conyention. The caucus to meet next Monday night. has been in this city, for some days, quite a number of leading - Southern men, who are engaged in grranging a new plan of adjustment, which will probably be submitted to the joint Reconstruction Committee of Congress, which is to meet in a few days. It has been shown o a number of Republicans, and approved by them. It isbased upon the Consti- tutional Amendment. Mr. Hulburd, who has been Acting Controller of the Currency for some time, was to-day nominated by the President to that position. ‘Wm. Harbeson, who has been Deputy Collector of Philadelphia for the last 15 or 20 years, has been ap- pointed Collector of the Port of Philadelphia vice ‘Wi, F. Johnston rejected. Mr. Harbeson's appoint- ment was recommended by nearly all the commercial men in Philadelphia. The President said, t0 & prominent physician of Louisiana and to others, in recent interviews, that the worst thing he ever did i his life was to pardon Mayor Monroe of New-Orleans, and then sustain him in his wicked career. He indicated much sorrow at the course things have taken in New-Orleans, with- out having expressed any regrets at his own connec- tiqn with the crimes committed there. There are large delegations of paper-makers here, fram various parts of the country, in view of the ap- proaching purchase, for the use of the Government Priuting-office, of 60,000 reaws of paper. The pur- «¢hases will be concluded on the 18th of Febrnary, In view of the many frauds attempted to be prac- ticed upen paymasters by the presentation of forged or_worthiless papers of both officers and enlisted men, the Paymaster-General has issued tho following circular: T AT R o m “O.AMII wmnm» K:"m‘u maediasely report the fogedhcr with e er of the order on which ‘will make no pa; d' -llau tw -.re ldon ified to rious or ummu the offlum makin, 10 account for the amous| Washington Territory, ogcupied by the Gov- post.. The land being Jdmum, the claimant. (len. Butler, are that, locality,and stop, if possible, the threatened war theoughout the Indian country. The President to-day sent to the Senate a commu- nication, transmitting a copy of the correspondence rehtive to the alleged recent mamigration of citizens’ of the United States to the dominions of the Sublime Porte, for the purpese of settling and ' acquiring landed property there, which opens with a communi— cation from Mr, Beaubocher, Coneul at Jernnlam, to Mr. Soward, advising him of the arrival at Jaffa, on Sept. 22, 1866, of a colony of Americans from Maine, whose debarkation took plage without any interfér- ence from the authorities of the local Governmen Oct. 23. The Consul sends the names of 160 Ame: cans forming the colony; iutending .to’ make’, permanent settlement. Mr, Morris, Ameriean Min- ister at Constantinople, tranamits a note of his Royal Highness Ali - Pacha, relative to the colony, and states that, on application of Senator Morrill and the Rev. Mr. Adams on behalf of the colony for a grant of land for the use of the latter, a negative ansiver the Minister of Foreign Affairs was transmitted prior to the departure of the colony from the United States. The note of the Minister of Foreign Affairs notifies Mr. Morris that the Imperial Govetnment cannot consent to the establishment of & colony in Palegtine, Ou Dec.2, Mr. Beaubacher writes that the families forming the colony are in a frightful state of misery, and that ho was about to proceed upon an inquest at Jaffa. Numerous complaints have been made by the families against Mr. Adams, the promoter of the scheme. On Dec. 7, Mr. Adams sends to Mr. Seward a petition ;mhd to the American Consul at Jerusalem, praying for the re- moval of Mr. Lowenthal, Vice-Consul at Jaffa, for reasons given in the paper presentéd, and the ap- pointment of Mr. Mark Wentworthg On Dec. 12, Ms. Morris incloses a statement of t.h condition of the colony. and stating that he suggostod the sale of their effects to defray the expensesof the parties back to the United States. On Jun, 14, Mr, Beward writes to Mr. Morris that the condition of the unhappy people is indeed pitiable, and demands our sympathy, but that there is no law authorizing the Cousul at Jaffa to extend to them on behalf of the Government of the United States the pecuniary relief for which they have applied to him. Senator Morgan held a party to-night which was y large and brilliant. Chief-Justico Chase held a reception to-night which was also largely attended. The reception, last cvening, of James C. Wetmore, Ohio State Agent, was attended by Attorney-General Stansberry, Chief-Justice Chase, and many other Ohio gentlemen of distinetion. The Board of Trade of Washincton had its first annual dinner this evening, This Society is com- posed of the moneyéd and property men of the Dis- trict. Some 200 guests occupicd seats at the table.
