Tbs Committee on Banking and Currency, on Friday last, agreed to report to the Honse a bill providing for the lane of ninety-five millions of dollars of additional bank notO(l, and far the redemption of forty millions of three per cent, certificates, which are now held by the banks as the lawfol reserve. The remaining fifty millions of bank notes are to take the place of an equal amount of legal- tenders, thus showing that the bill does not in effect increase the actual volnme of cur rency—though e different construction is placed upon it by different members of the House. Some declare that it is an inflation, while others maintain that it is an actual contraction. Bat whether a contraction or inflation, the amount either way done not appear to exceed ten millions of dollars. Ths bill, beaidea other important features, provides for a bond bearing four and a halt per cent interest, wbfoh ths new banks ore required to pay tor In gold or its equivalent. The bill will probably be brongnt into the Honse this week. CTIO* abortion AT ATLANTA. 1 special Atlanta dispatches give the edings of the Congressional post two day*.

Editor Morning News: la the Natra of the 25th we notice an &c count of the disaster to the exonrsion train on the Macon and Brunswick Railroad, which yon got from Mr. Delannoy, the Conductor of tbe train. From this statement the pub lic it led to believe that tbe fetal accident is blameable to no one. It is but ju6t that tbe feetsof the ease should be brought before the public, and the blame laid where it be longs. ■ ln Mr. Delannoy's statement, he makes no mention of the fact that the engineer, Igo, waa drunk, endeavoring to hash the matter over by stating that he was unacquainted with the road. Mr. D. should have added t£at thvte waa on the engine an engineer in the employ of the Macon & Bra os wick Rail road, who knew the road, and vainly en deavored to shot off steam and reduce the speed, but waa prevented by Igo. It can be aabatantiated by tbe affidavits of any number of men that Igo teas drunk- too drunk to run an excursion train with one hundred and aeventj-five souls on board bAfely over a new railroad. Mr. Virgil Dasher states, and will qualify to it if required, that Jgo haid to him on board the Water Lilly, just before landing, that he (Igo), waa • just drunk enough to f iat the d n thing through on time or put t in the ditch." He was also beard to say that he would run the train through to Jesup (forty miles) in fifty-five minutes, or run it to hell That he kept his word in every particular will be manifest from the foot that he made the first fourteen miles in twenty-one minutes including starting time, and tbe train won getting faster every minute. Several gentle men who had their watches in band will testi fy to tbe fact that the last mile was made in one and a quarter minutes. Mr. Delannoy ntatee that tbe train was making twen y-five miles an boor. On tbe contrary, many gentlemen on board will take oath to the fact •hat it waa going at least forty-five miles hour. One gentlemen lost his watch in i “smash up,’* with which he was timing the “break-neck” engineer. His affidavit had at any time. We submit these facta, Mr. Editor, that tbe public in general and railroad com panies in particular, may be warned of «n- gme-drivcis who imbibe spirituous liquors in sufficient quantities to cause them to drive their engines, and cars, loaded with men, women and children, into such place* as Bui f'alo Swamp. Excursionist. The fetatewent of our correspondent. Ex cursionist, are confirmed by the editor of the Brypswick Appeal who in an editorial on the Subject says: “We are creditably informed that tho engineer was intoxicated and w n » running the train at a fearful rate of speed and over an insecure portion of the road Where the accident happened.” A correspondent of tbe same paper who was an eye witness of the disaster, says “There were many surmises as to how the accident occurred, and I am sure the ma jority of the passengers believe as I do, that is, the want of a perfectly sober engineer. To my judgment of speed in railroading, we were travelling over thirty-five miles an hour. Some ot onr excursionists report they timed it to a mile in one and a qa trter min utes, others that fourteen miles were made fa 21 minutes." If there wu any doubt entertained as the soundness. of Ordinary Wnsnioiix’s rating when h« decidediuo receutrequiaition css, that Bullock eras not Governor of Georgia, that dohkfifc removed by the follow ing Txur-ble decree for the Military satrap of tho “Third Military District.

But while such a great sorrow must tako its natural course, it is oomforting to know that it has touched the hearts of tens of thousands of good people, and caused them to gush out in streams of generous sympathy, reminding ns that there is a common human brotherhood that rises superior to all geographical barriers and all distinctions of class and color. A meeting of the property holders, repre senting $100,000,000, has been held in New York to protest against tbe .“scooping" of Broadway by tbe Arcade or underground railway.

PADELFOKU Vtf“ IMTED STATES. Important Oecialost oft lie Supreme Court. Washqiotov, May 2, Noon.—The Supreme Court of the United States has decided the case of the United State* against Edward Padelford, of Savannah, appeal from the Court of Claim*. The appeal was brought before the Court, s claim under the captured and abandoned property set of March 12, 1863, for half th* prooeeds paid into the treasury of twelve hundred and ninety-three bales of cotton, captured at savannah sad turned over to a treasury Sger sold under that act. Th* Court says, la elusion: j 14; j . j r ••It appearing that at the time of th* aelsuxe of the petitioner’* property, he was purged of whatever of- f< nee against the laws of tha United States hs had committed by the acta mentioned in the findings, and relieved from any Penalty which he might have Incurred. It follows farther, that if theproperty had been seised before the oath was taken, the faith of tbe government waa pledged to its restoration upon tho taxing of tho oath in good fktik. We cannot doubt the petitioner's right to the property in ques tion at the time of th* aria of th* military comman ders, and that it is mads absolutely perfect by the signals. "But It has been suggested that the property waa captBred tn feet not lawfully, and that the proceeds having been paid into the Treasury of tho United States, th* petitioner is without remedy in the C of culms unless proof be given that he gave no aid or comfort to the enemy. The suggestion is Ingeni ous, but we do not think it sound. Th* aufficUnt answer is, that after the pardon no edfanee connected srlth th, rabatb.o^a*^MpwteqteJMm. inn iindwOteSmtKteaUiBto.Otete. for tb. pro! emOt ot bte prop«ty, tb. la* maka. tt. proof of pwdon » oomptet. aubMltnte for proof tbat be gave no aid or otnlbrt to tb. raboUloa.
