The House was busy in debate on the |
Couscri,:ion hill, which will probably
rass this afternoon. Other needed militia
~ measures are in what seems to US yery
tardy process Of preparation, which are
endangered by the near approach of the
end of tie session. If these great meas
ares fail il will be only because few cap
tious and weak Union men Cooperate
with the traitors in npostponing and defeat

the following item among the Washington
dispatches:
The Committee Of Conference finally agreed TO-
night to retain the three hundred millions legal
lender CLAUSE in fhe Finance bill.
The Senate bill provided for the issuing
of but fifty millions of Legal Tender, while
the Ho17sc bill provided for three hundred
