WASHINGTON.
jsrm.iL OOBRKSrO.NDIKCB BNQUUW AMD SUN.}
.Washington, February 7, 1874.
THE FINANCIAL PBOBLEM
is still unsolved, notwithstanding the
last six days hammering at the Capitol.
It would he idle to speculate upon what
will be done by Congress, as it is n very
uncertain body. I am convinced of one
thing, however, viz. : that the South and
West will be found voting together upon
the measure that is to be spread upon the
iiutional statute books, and as both these
«ectious are earnest in their demands for
the Usue of more ourrency, it may, with
comparative safety, be concluded what the
character of the coming law will be. The
Hanking and Currency Committee of the
House made a movement last week that
will bring the entire subjeot of finance and
currenoy to an issue. The various pro
positions pending were first disposed of.
Judge Kelley's three-sixty-five convertible
bond theory was negatived, but when re
ported to the House Kelley succeeded in
having his pet referred to the Committee
of the Whole. The proposition to abolish
the national bond system was also nega
tived, as was the proposition to substitute
greenbacks for national bank notes. The
Committee then prepared a bill and re
ported it to the House, of which the fol
lowing are
THE LEADING FEATHERS.
No restriction on the total amount of
ibank circulation shall be repealed, which
in some respects, is equivalent to free
blinking under the present law ; repoal of
tho requirement that banks shall keep a
reserve of greenbacks to redeem other
motes, and requiring the banka to deposit
in the U. S. Treasury greenbacks amount
ing to five per cent, of their circulation
as a redemption fund, this reserve to be
always maintained, preventing banks
from paying to or reoeiving'from each
ether interest on deposits; requiring
country hauks to keep their deposits at
home ; permitting gold hanks to issue
notes to the amount of 80 per cent, of
their bonds instead of 90 as nnder the
resent law. It is further provided that
henever the notes of a bank ore pre-
ented to the U. S. Treasurer, from any
source to the amount of one thousand dol-
ars, tho bank, upon notification, must
ay into the Treasury an equal sum in U.
notes, when new notes, printed and
ngraved at the expense of the bank, will
e issued, ond the old notes canoelled
-nd destroyed on the deposit of ten thou-
and dollars. The establishment of banks
ritbout circulation is authorized. This
ill enable Southern manufacturing cities
ike Columbus to supply such additional
anking facilities as may be demanded
y business. Tho hill was referred to the
ommitteo of the Whole and notice
ivon ou the part of the Banking Com-
uittee that it would be called up next
eek.
ILL OF THE WAVS AND MEANS COMMITTEE.
The Ways and Moans Committee have
Iso perfected a bill, which has been or-
otod to be privately printed, and will he
iscussed by the committee to-morrow
Tuesday). This bill authorizes the Secre-
;ai 7 of the Treasury to issue coupon or
gistored bonds of the denomination of
•W, or some multiple of that aum, re-
oemahle in coin at some future day—not
eteruiiued on yet—in exchange for legal
lenders; the bonds to hoar interest in
oin—the rate not yet fixed—payable
uartorly, and to be free of tax; that
hese legal tenders may he used to redeem
ke public debt, or to meet the current
rpenHes of the Government, and if any
j >f them are canceled new cotes may be
-s-sued in their stead.
The second seation authorizes the Sec
tary to issue, for purposes now author-
red by law, aud for the purposes of this
t, legal tender cotes, in addition to
hose now authorized, till the whole
mount iu circulation shall equal $400,-
*9,000 iu the aggregate, and every issue
adopt this bill remains to be seen. If so,
it will doubtless bo reported to the Houso
at- the close of the week and a time fixed
for its consideration. The telegraph will
inform you of the committees’ notion be
fore this letter reaches the Enquireb.
THE LOUISIANA IMBHOOLIO
has occupied the Senate for the past
week and the ond is not yet. A week ago
the President had concluded to send a
message to Congress in relation to this
matter, recommending the holding of a
new election for Governor and State offi
cers. At the Cabinet meeting last TnlS-
day, however, this proposition was con
sidered, and the President prevailed upon
to take no action whatever in the premi-
leaving the fight to Congerss for
settlement. As an act of simple justice,
the ordering of a new eloction in Louisi
ana, would be tho proper tbiug to do, but
at this late day it might bo inexpedient
and impolitic. Inexpedient because it
would impose on the expense nnd excite
ment of a speoial election in April, when
tho same result can bo accomplished in
November at the regular electiun ; impol
itic because the Senato would not pass
favorably upon a new Election bill, the
Democrats being unanimously opposed to
such a bill in principle, they holding that
the United States Government bad no
right whatever to interfere with tho do
mestic affairs of a State. This strength,
with the aid of the Republican Senators
who favor Kellogg, would certainly defeat
such a recommendation from the Presi
dent.
PINCHBACK *8 PROSPECTS
It soeins to be pretty well determined
that Pincbback will not bo admitted
to the Senate. Pinch is not without
hope, however, and insists that he is wil
ling to have his entire conduct iu tho can
vass investigated. This appears to mo
like a game of bluff. He is willing for
on investigation because bo knows that if
his hand is called his partner, Kellogg,
will have to bring out tho knave from hiH
sleeve, that enabled this brace of adven
turers to stoal Ilia pool. To investigate
Pinohback is to investigate Kellogg, and
an investigation of Kellogg means an ex
posure of the blistering frauds, by which
Louisiana was outraged and disgraced.
The result of such an exposure would be
damaging to tho administration for im
posing those frauds upon tho people with
the aid of U. S. troops. These are some
of the secrets of the Louisiana situation,
and your renders can evolve them for
themselves. It is possible the case will
he disposed of before this letter roachcR
you.
kellogu’k ANTICS.
You have rend of Kellogg's antics in
having the rooms of Wurmouth, in this
city, searched for certain documents, nnd
the utter discomfiture of tho Kellogg de
tectives. This was a mock invention aud
has recoiled on the searching party. On
Saturday last a special dispatch from New
Orleans to the National Republican of
this city, announcing that Kellogg had
issued a requisition upon the Governor of
this district for (ho arrest and return of
Warmouth to Louisiana, frightened that
gentleman out of tho city. Tho correct
ness of this dispatch is domed by press
dispatches printed this morning, and
Warmouth may return to nnd occupy his
lodgings with security.
A NATIONAL CANAL PROJECT. ,
The House Committee on Railways and
Canals has perfected a hill authorizing tho
construction of a ship canal from Fort St.
Phillip to the mouth of the Mississippi.
This canal is to be national properly, not
less than 200 feet wide and 27 feet deep,
properly guarded, aud to ho constructed
under the supervision of United StateH
Army Engineers. Louisiana is required
by the bill to make all needful concessions
to the national government before work
shall be commenced. It will require
about ten millions to complete this enter
prise, hut no appropriation will ho asked
nor will work he commenced until
tho report of tho engineers Ins been
laid before Congress. There is said
to ho a fair prospect for the
passage of this measure. This is not an
original proposition. A similar canal over
the same route was proposed and sur
veyed as long ngo as 1880, nnd its practi
cability vorified seven years later by Uni
ted States CDginoers. The most notahio
effect of this enterprise would ho n great
reduction in tho cost of transporting
grain. It is claimed by Western pro
ducers that by this caual grain could bo
shipped from Minnesota and Wisconsin,
Ought the General Government to
give away any more land or subsidies to
railroads ?
G. Ought patents to be extended or
renewed ?
7. Ought tho Inriff to he for the oolleo-
tiou of revenue, or for revenue alone, or
ought it to ho repealed ?
8. Ought the bankrupt law to be re
vised or repealed ?
9. Ought tho General Government to
own or exercise a control over lines of
transportation through the States ?
This is a kind of competitive examina
tion which members thus far subjeotod to
it do not fancy in the least.
The Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee
delegations are working industriously in
the interest of the Atlantio and Great
Western Canal project, and have held
several caucuses lately on this subjeot.
THE STAMP ACT IN THE SOUTH.
WASHINGTON.
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
Senator Gordon of Georgia, has had a
full interview with the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue in reference to tho
threatened proceedings by revenue offi
cers in Rome and other localities at the
South, against parties who failed to at
tach stamps to deeds nnd other instru
ments during the war, Tho Commission
er states that the Government never pros
ecuted whore instruments issued at the
South during the war were unstamped,
nor attempted to compel such stamping
now, but the Commissioner holds such
deeds as invalid until stamped ; nor is it
required to attach stamps according to the
price paid for property in Confederate
money, but according to the real value.
The matter will probably bo brought be
fore Congress.
SOUTHERN POSTAL CONTRACT CLUMH.
It seems to be understood that the
claim•> of Southern post-offi.’e contract
ors for services prior to tho war, now
barred by the test oath, will bo provided
for in the same goneral bill to be report
ed from the Committee ou Appropria
tions, by striking out this l«st oath for all
suoh claims. It is necessary, however,
that claimants should get their claims
certified by tho Contract Office of tho
Postoffice Department, and do this
promptly, in order that the appropriation
to bo modo may include their claims,
otherwise they may have to wait.
THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL
Has not yet beon reported from tho House
Judiciary Committee. On Friday last,
Elliott, a negro member from South Car
olina, appeared before the committee and
made an argument iu favor of the bill
recommitted. Ho nrgued that tho mixed
school section would bo an effectual
means of removing tho prejudice that
now prevails between the races. He for
gets, however, that tho proposed remedy
would kill (be froo school system in the
Southern States, aud thus make it impos
sible for tho children of the colored peo
plo to obtain any education whatever
Tho dead goose won't lay golden eggs
Mr. Ilale, of Alabama, made a speech in
the House on Saturday last, advocating
the pending bill. It is probable the com
mittec will report the bill to the House
next week, with tho school and jury
clauses stricken out.
THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL
Is receiving earnest discussion in the
House. The bill provides for a reduction
of tho numerical strength of tho army
from 30,000 to 25,000 men, and a general
reduction iu the cost of its maintenance
of four millions of dollars. Tho Appro
piiations Committee has been takiug
iuafs of testimony from officers of the
army iu reference to this subject, all of
whom are opposed to tho reduction. This
conclusion of tho rank will not surprise
you.
Mr. Dawes, chairman of the committee,
made an earnest and effective speech in
support of tho reduction. His facts and
figures are hard to get over. There can
be no question that in the present embar
rassed state of national fiuauces, $4,000,-
000 in tho Treasury will bo regarded with
more favor than four thousand super
fluous soldiers on the frontiers. Mr.
Dawes argued that all that tho Govern-
! mont requires is sufficient army to guard
; tho frontiers and keep hostile Indians in
| chock, and he scouted the idoa that a largo
( standing army is needed with a view to
| use in tho event of a foreign war, or for
| other than frontier service.. Our civil
! war made all our people—North aud
I South—trained soldiers, aud these ore the
j men who would como to the national res-
! cue, and who would be relied upon to dc-
; feud tho national territory and honor,

te whether any officer of the United States

was admitted to tho bar in that State and
practiced his profession while holding a
commission as an officer. Laid over.
Gordon, of Georgia, introduced a bill
granting aid to tho Atlantic and Great
Western Canal. Referred to Committee
on Transportation.
The Senato resumed consideration of
bankrupt bill pending amendment of
Merliman, giving to State courts the
same power as the Federal courts, in oxo
cuting bankrupt law, was rejected.
Johnston, of Virginia, offered an amend
ment providing that notices of nil sales
made by an assignee should be published
in the newspaper having tho largest circu
lation in the county where such sale was
to be made. Rejected.
Edmunds moved to fill the blank iu
section in relation to settlement with
creditors, so as to provido that an arrange
ment for compositionbetween creditors and
debtors iu order to be valid, shall receive
the signatures of two-thirds tho number
of creditors representing one-half value of
debts. Agreed to.
Thurman moved to fill the bla.uk as to
tho time when provisions of the 30th sec
tion shall take effect by inserting first
day of Docerubor, 1873, so that that
section shall apply to all cases of compul
sory or involuntary bankruptcy commenc
ed since that date. Agreed to.
Sumner offered an amendment to tho
21st section of tho original act, as fol
lows : “But a creditor, providing his
debtor claims, shall not bn held to bavo
waived his right of action or suit against
the bankrupt where a discharge has been
refused, or tho proceedings havo IfGeu
determined without a discharge.” Which
w&b agreed to.
Tho bill having been considered iu tho
Senate as Committee of tho Wholo, was
then reported to the Senate and amend
ments concurred in.
Johnson, of Virginia, modified his
amendment, previously offered, to read
as follows : “All notices of sales under
this act, by any assignee or offioor of tho
court, shall bo publishe 1 in tho newspa
per or newspapers, to bo designated by
tho judge, which in his opinion shall bo
best calculated to give general notice of
the sale.” Agreed to.
Bill passed—yeas 43, nays 11. It goes
to tho House for concurrence.
Ono of tho principal features iu tho

son, of Virginia, to-day, requiring the as
signee to make public notice in the nows
paper having the largest, circulation of
sales to be made was agreed to. Tho bill
further reduces the foes of bankrupt offi
cers to one-half of that which they re
ceived under tho old law, and provides
that any arrangement for a settlement be

the Quartermaster's department is to bo

This section gave rise to a long discus
sion and many amendments wore offered
to it; the most important wero offered
by Young, of Georgia, extending the
time from November 1874 to November
1875, nnd one offered by Hoar, of Massa
chusetts, for the appointment of two ad
ditional commissioners.
The amendment offered by Speer, of
Pennsylvania, was also adopted after a
long straggle, transferring to tho Com
missioners all tho evideuco now on file
with the Quartermaster General and Com
missary General.
Bock, of Kentucky, offered the follow
ing, which was adopted :
“Whereas tho First National Bank of
tho city of Washington rocoutly became
insolvent and is now iu tho bauds of u
Receiver, in consequenco, as is alleged, of
lending to or placing iu tho control of a
single firm the wholo of its capital stock,
as well as a largo part of the money of its
depositors, which is a palpable violation
of the National Banking act; aud whereas
circumstances attending tho failuro of
said bank, and tho character of tho man
agement undor which ho gross a violation
of law could havo takoii place, demand hii
investigation, to tho end that remedies
may bo applied to guard against like
