THE EFFECT OF THE KENTUCKY VICTORY.


SECRETARY STANTON's PLAN FOR THE WAR.
Secretary Stanton had an interview OF two
hours in one of the Senate commlttee-rooms
this morning with the Military Committees OF
both Houses. All the sixteen members were
present. The Secretary gave his views freely
on his plan of conducting the war; and ex-
pressed desire to be at all times informed for
his guidance of matters of public interest COM
ing before either Committee, adding that the
Department would always be open to any MEN,
Der of the two Committees. He stated that a
full aud complete list of all the contracts made
by or for the War Department since the COM
mencement of the war, with the name of
every contractor was in preparation, and that
no further contract or purchase should be made
before the Isl of February, or until full inves-
legations be made. Mr.. Stanton also gave his
plan for systematizing the business of the De-
partment.
Col Scott is 10 have special charge Of railroad
and transportation matters, and Congress has been
asked 10 give the Secretary of War control of all
the railroads in the United States whenever the
interest of the war shall demand it. John Tuck
er, the Second Assistant, is TO have charge of all
the transportation by sea, the chartering of YES
sells, etc Mr.. Watson, the Third Assistant is to
have control of the rolls and generally the busi-
ness connected with tie troops in the field.
THE FINANCIAL MEASURE.
Mr.. Spaulding's bill " making the Treasury
notes legal tender" was reported to-day, and
is teegrayhed tonight. II will be called up
on Tue day next. II went in to the House in
the manuscript of the notwithstanding Of
the Treasury, and has received the approval as
it previously got the careful revision Of Dir.
Chase. The Tax bill ought to be ready for
the House and for the people by Tuesday
aext. Everybody is impatient TO see the
means provided for paying the war debt stimuli
taneousy with the great increase Of il. 1t is
not even conjectured, however, when this Tax
bill will DO ready.
TIE CASE OF SENATOR BRIGHT.
There is hope Of the expulsion OF Mr.. Bright
from tie Senate. Two thirds of the members
present will be required to vote him out. Con-
cediug III the doubtful to Mr.. Brgbt-among
them Mes.rs. Harris Foster and Cowan-the
Senate stands % to 10 One vote thus i.
needed. 1t will be more than strange if il can
rot be got. Every member Of the judiciary
Committee, except Mr. Trumbull, voted in ia.
vOr Of Mr.. Bright's claim, Messrs. Foster Ten
Eyck, Cowan, Harris, Bayard, and Powell.
| The desire to be consistent in both Senate and
| Committee, has made the delay in the case, aud
now creates the doubt il the expulsion VIII be
effected Outside OF The Committee, every lie.
| publican Senator is justly anxious to purge the
| Senate Of the traitor. While Andy johnson OF
Tennessee, and Garrett Davis Of Kentucky, are
earnestly for expulsion it looks very strange TO
see Senators from the EXTREMIST Ant Slavery
States surrounding Mr. Bright TO retain him in
hi, seat.
