O3 TRLEGRAPH TO THE TRINIXR. WASHINGTON, Monday Mr. Sherman, on Saturday night, just as the Senate was about to adjourn, reported the Compound Inter- ng bill, in the precise form in which it ongi- assed the Sevate. The Fimance Committce J 5, it issaid, in disagreeing to the Honso amendment and recommending the Senate bill asa substitute. An opinion prevails in the Finance Com- wmittee thatif the compound interest notes are re- deemed in greenbacks, a new issii - of greenbacks will be called for to redeem the seven-thirties when they shall mature, It was Mr. Sherman’s iutention to have called up this bill to-day, bnt he had no opportunity. In the Senate to-day Mr. Sherman introduced a bill for the consolidation of the National debt in a six per cent loan, principal and intere ayable in gold, and the principal taxable at the amount of one per cent, %0 that it would be in effect a five per cent loan. The bill will not be ealled up this session. 1t was offered for the purpose of getting the sense of the finaucial men of the country on it. Mr. Patterson presented the resolution of the Tennessee Legislature calling npon him to resign his seat in the Senate, a request with which he gave notice he should mot comply. He further promised to tell, at some future day, why he would not resign. A bill in re the Government of Montana Territory was ¢ and passed, after de! It increases the salaries of the Judges of Montaua and Idaho to $4,000. They are now $2,500. An additional scetion was put to it tnereasing the salary of Judges of the other Territo ries from 1,800 to $2.500. To-day having been apart by resolution for business from the Committee on Commerce, a number of bills from that Committee were reported and passed. Among them was one to regulate the disposition of fiues and forfeitures for violation of the custom laws. It gives. one-half of the proceeds of forfeited goods to the Government, one-quarter to the informer, and one-quarter to the officer making the seizu The River and Harbor Appropriation bill gave rise to considerable discus- sion on the proposition to appropriate §1,000,000 for the improvement of the Des Moines Rapids. Tt was finally compromised at $500,000, on the motion of Mr. Grimes of Jowa. An Execntive Session was held, and at 5 o'clock the dinner recess was taken. At the night s¢ n of the Senate the River and Harbor bill was passed. Several bills of minor im- portance from the Committee on Commerce were then passed. The report of the Committee of Con- ference on the Diplon Appropriation bill was agreed to. It inserts the appropriation for the Por- tugal Mission, with a proviso that no mor shall be paid to Mr. Harvey out of any fund whatever for his wervices as Minister. Ship Canal bill was taken up at 10 cussed until the | sdjournment, without final s The Mouse spent most of to-day’s session on the Tax Bill. It was taken out of the Committee of the | Whole about an hour before reeess | Progress | on the bill was very slow. A number of members, especially those of the Democratic side, seem to be possessed with a great desire to delay Jegislation as | anuch as possible, at least <o faras the Tax and Tariff | Yills are coneerned. On nearly every amendment | that was offered to the Tax Bill the yeas and nays on its adoption were demanded and | obtained. This, of course, consumed much val- wable time. Before the bill was taken ap, Mr. Mor- | rill, who retured from Vermont yesterday, made an ettempt to have the Tariff Bill committed at once to & committee of conference, and in case their report | should not be satisfactory, the House might reject it. | This, ke thought, would save a great deal of time | and labor. The motion causcd a great hubbub, the | Yemocratic and Republican Free Traders uniting in | making a good deal of noise, and finally defeating | the project. The yeas and nays were taken, and re- | eulted in eighty-fonr yeas to eighty-six nay To have carried Morrill's motion it would have re- quired a two-third vote. It will be seen by the vote | that not only a two-thitd vote was not given | but there was a clear majority of two on the | whole vote against the motion. This delays the bill | for at least another day. There were several import- | ant changes wade in the Tax bill. The license on | whisky was placed at $100; the clause making gas | compal Lear the burden of the Government tax themselves after April 1, 1867, was sustained. When & vote was about being taken on this question, sev- eral members wished to know the effect of a vote for | Before the Speaker could reply, 8chenck avote in the aftirmative was a vote while & vote iu the negative was o vote for the gas companies. The specific tax on cigars, cheroots and cigavettes was reduced to $5 per 1,000, The tax ou cotton grown in the United States was retained at 3 cents per pound. In the evening session the Tax hill was passed by the House, the only change being made was placing the license of distillers at $100, insteud of 8300, as agreed upon this morming. The rest of the evening session wes occupied in tHe consideration of fortifi- eation appropriation bills. Mr. Morrill gave notice to the Hounse this evening that he would call up the Tariff bill the first thing to-morrow morning, and move a continuous session nntil the bill was finished. An attempt was made to kill the annual Fortifica- tion bill in this evening’s session, and came very near sncceeding, but was saved by determined efforts of Its friends. Mr. Cullom's resolution, offered to-day, to make €ight hours a legal day’s work for all Government employés throughont the United States, brought ous the statement from the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee that the Committee would soon report such a bill, Notwithstanding all the exertions made to have the President sign the Military Reconstruetion bill, he has conclnded to veto it. His veto message is completed, and will be sent to Congress to-morrow. This is a compromise he has made to the Reverdy Johnson Democrats, allowing Congress to pass the Vill over the veto. The statement in ew-York paper of to-day that Gen. Grant is opposed to the Reconstruction bill, is without authority. The General has expressed him- self within a few days, in presence of Senator Wilsou and Secretary Stanton, as warmly in favor of are as finally agreed upon. John Wentworth's Committee of investigation on the late alleged attempt at compromise beiween ce tain Republican Members of Congress and President or against. wpoke for the pe t | thel matter ended in smoke. The Congressmen would prowmise nothing, and the President snubbed the two would-he saviors of our unhappy country. The re- port will show all. Senator Sherman intends to call up the Loan Bill at the first opportune moment, and move that the Senate insist on their scheme of three per cent loan of one hundred million of green- s provided in the House proposition. It is thonght there will he considerable debate on it, as there are several Scnafors. who intend to move amendments of one kind or another. Mr. Hulby hairman of the committee who h been examining into the New-York Custom-Hou matters, has nearly completed his report. Unusual efforts have been made to induce the committee to change their report in regard to Collector Smythe's operat ¢ have failed. The comumittee made up their minds to probe the matter to the bot- tom, let blame fall where it would. One of the most corrupt systems mentioned in the whole report is the bonded warehouse matf The report will be ready in a day or two.

The second section proyides that and after Dec. 31, 1560, each officer of Jobuson, will make its report to the House to-mor- row. Reveral more newspaper correspondents were heard by the Committee to-day. There have been a0 Members of Congeess yet called by the Committee to testify. The report will evidently fail to prove anything improper on the part of Congressmen concerned. The whole story is that two irresponsible men, because they were tolerated about the White House, thought they knew more abont the ocenpant of the mansion than they really did, and got it into their heads that, becanse a large number of Congressmen accepted an fnvitation to dine with his Excelleney, they there- fore might be willing to comprowise on reconstry tion as well as on champagne and twkey. Accord- ingly, these two men several days ago obtained admission to the floor of the House, and there hood- winked enongh members into attending meetiugs where a compromise between the President and Cougress on reconstraetion was attempted. There was a great deal of talk, aud many Lopes for a happy peunjon between Andrew and Thad; but no one would ugh s piy wuything officially, and the wholg The Revenue Service, while on duty, shall be enti- tled to one navy ration per day.
