WAsH.xcrox, Jan. 49, 1872,
This has been a dies non in the House OF Repre-
sentatiyes to-day, and in the Senate very little or
nothing was done of interest. TIE speech Of Mr.
Ev,SS on the Treasury Note Bill, assigning rea-
sons for an important amendment madc=by the
Committee o: which he was Chairman, was as
usual lucid and unanswcrablc. He proved clearly
TO the understanding cf every candid hearcr that
the balance of the Loan Bill amounting to $500,
ego in addition TO the sun, proposed in the Urea
s4ry Nate Bill, viii be Immediately required for
the use Of the Government. When Mr.. Z. cor
Guided, the Senate adjourned
fear tie iactious disposition Of the Opposition
viii protract the debate upon this question for
cral days. Indeed, it is highly probable that two
rtllrec weeks will be consumed in-botE Houses
before he bill shall finally pass. How Messrs.
bUCgASAH ard CALHouS, and theirzftiends in
Congress, can have the assurance cr.barrns' lie.
glsuton on this particular subject battles my
prehcnsioa utterly. These gentlemen per-
ccrlyaclaia,ed with the situation af tie Treasury,
ard tI,ey dave hitherto been prompt to prefer This
mode Of furnishing Supplies for the Government.
tits a matter worthy of observation, that no
member Of the Senate r1oved the second reading
OF the bankrupt Repeal bill today. The public
hrongcd tie galleries at an carly hour au%iously
waiting TIE movement. SO nearly divided arcthc
Members upon the measure. that both the friends
and enemies Of ii claim ma loriiy. think,sow
Ger, may venture 10 assure you that the vote,
had itbccn taken this morning. would have stood
II fer and - asains,--Mr. SIMMONS and 3lr.
CuTHrERr being absent. Unless ore or more
WIGS be absent wien ,lIequeslion shall be taken,
YOU may rest satisfied that tho bill cannot rass thr
Senate.
The Select Committee who have the tisca' rJ-
ectof the Treasury Department in charge, w

.jontha, Congress have the power, and tits their
duty, to furnish Currency for the Pecri,' and re-
eull.,. the Exchanges We must trust 70 time and
circumstances to improve upon this admission
Without recurring tc the fact that there is no
prospect of their passing any measure OF the ma
ture alluded TO at this Session, have dwct upon
the probable report of the Committee Of the Sen
ate. as il there was chance OF its being acceptn-
Die t, majority of the House. am sorry to say
there is very little hope Of harmony in that body
on.any important proposition suggested in the An
aual Message.
Tbs labor AID anxiety OF the Heads of Depart
=snen,s have thus far met with no corresponding
apirit=on The part Of Congress. VcMe,ious dis
tussons and c,nbauassmcnts, byleadmg mem
bers in both Houses, have hitherto arreste, the
progress Of public business and from daily indicn-
lions, tic steady efforts of the Opposition are to
DESTROY the work of the Extra Session. How far
these architects of ruin will succeed in their
hish.handcd designs remains to be seen. II the
Bankrupt bill should be repealed (whicA have
no, ,.e lcas, fear ~f then you may look for disas
