HOUSE. pscial Dispatoh o Mus Bex Wasmisorox, February 23 —The hoase met at 10 o'clock 0 commitiee whois on the sandry civil bill, with Harrison, of Virginia, in the chair. The pending question was on Buck- ner's smendment sathorizing the pur oheso of a gas taving an gas regula:- ing department. It wes ruled out of order, on the ground that it failed \o show retzenchment on it facs. Later in the day the awendmeut was rejected Mr. Reagan inquired how much ‘money would be required undsr this clau se. “Mr. Blount said botweon $200,000 and $300,000. Mr. Reagan thought the sum had better bo specified. It might cover $200,000 or $300,000. He thought the sum needed «hould be stated sa- nuslly in bills, and nct upon estimates. The point of order was overraled, and an amendwent to fix the amount at $200,000 was rejecred. Ta rulog upon a point of veder, which was made by Mr. Bragy, the chair, Mr. Harris, s1id he raled the smandmeat our vory reluztantly. The house was worked up to a very hizh pltch of excitemun'.

Mr. Blackburn ar- gued that there was such a recommen- dation, and Mr. Bragg deoied it. In the course of the diwscussion Mr. Biackburn ssserted that the value of the papere was fixed by a commission, of which Gen. Garfield was & mem- ber. Tne point of order having been overruled, the question came up on its merits, when .

The seunate amendments to the Dis- trict of Columbia and postofics bills were reported back, concurrence rec- ommended in some of theamendments and non-concurrence in others. The billa go to the couference committee. The senate amendments to the leg- lslative bill were referred to the com- ‘mittee on appropriations The committee restored the item striking out the request for a coliec- tion of statistics relative tu the snnual Marehal C. Woods gauger in theSixth district of Indiaa. The reduction of the public debt for the current month will, it is esti- mated, touch nearly $8,000,000. Senator-elect Mahone, of Virglna, arrived here to-night, and 100k roo at the Arlington hotel, wh-r remain uwtil the olos: « sousion of the senate. His arrival has served to arouse speculstiou s to how he will vote on_the rorgauization of tho sevate.

This imprcssion is entirely erronenus, as will beseen by referring to secrion 5222 of ihe revised statutes, the depoeit of law- tal movey for the security of avy nding, and von the deposit of which, bonds held shall besurrendered. It is conceded at the United States i-easary that the fifch section does not, m the least, in- tertere wi‘1 s bank’s desire to with- draw from business. The whole ex- tent and purpoe: of the section is to prevent banks from playioz fast and circalation by tracting it to-day and expanding it to-morrow, as hes heretofore been the custom. Hon.
