WASHINGTON, Jan. l3.-The commissioners
under the act for the adjustment of slavery in
the District of Columbia, having concluded
their labors, will make their report to the sec
rotary of the treasury tomorrow. The num-
Der Of applicants for the benefit of the act was
about one thousand for nearly three thousand
slaves, who were duly examined and valued
by slave dealer of Baltimore. The law ap-
propriates 100000. but only 100000 of
this sum will be paid, the authorized average
for each slave being $500. Some of them
were judged to be worth nothing, such as in
fants, the aged, and invalids; so the amounts
withheld for them have been added to those
esteemed of higher value than $500.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l3.-Secretary Chase,
in answering a resolution from the house, says
that the soldiers have not been paid because
he is not authorized to raise the loan by prac-
ticable methods under existing laws, and that
the five twenty bonds have not been sold be-
cause they could not be under the restrictions
imposed by congress. He says the arrears OF
army pay amount to treble the sum he can
raise by the existing act exclusive of that pro-
viding for the five-twenties. The original act
providing for their issue provided also for
conversion into army multiples Of fifty dol
lar United States notes at the pleasure OF the
holders, and permitted sales only at the mar
ket rate ascertained from the daily quotations
of the New York sales.
Had the supplemental act passed, emitting
the conversion and market rate clauses, the
difficulty would have been avoided. As it is,
acting in accordance with the letter and spirit
ofthe act, he, Chase, has made no sales, except
ing to the amount of twenty-four and half
millions in that mode. Had the expenditures
been less, or the military success greater,
more might have been sold.
There has been obtained since July lst,
from all sources, $287 ,304,6lS, exclusive of
receipts from customs, etc, making the total
1925 ,000, 900 in round numbers. There has
been paid to the troops $70S25,5S3; to the
quartermaster's department $ll0, 1856; to
the commissary department $30,6l7, 1872 ;

10 THE WORCESTER DAILY SPY.

BosToN, Jan. l3.-General Butler had a
grand and enthusiastic reception to-day. linz
mense crowds gathered around the Lowell
depot awaiting his arrival. Faneuil Hall was
overlooking. The spaces around it contained
thousands OF spectators. The galleries of the
hall were packed with ladies' The general
and his escort reached it at about l o'clock
1t was gorgeously arrayed with flags and en-,
blems for the occasion. When the general
entered the hall the effect was very grand, the
white handkerchiets of nearly 2000 ladies
waving him brilliant welcome home
Mayor Lincoln introduced Gen. Butler to
the assembled citizens and spoke of mis- SER
vices and deeds which were known to the
world, and alluded as one proof of those SER
vices to the fact that the rebels had offered
$4,000 for his head. tremendous applause
Gen. Butler in response spoke with great
feeling; his emotion, he said, so impressed
the heart as to almost choke the word he
would utter. He alluded to the heroic men
left behind who would never again receive a
welcome in this world. He announced his
readiness to go wherever duty calls. When
the government says the word he was ready
to go north, south, east or west
lie said confidently that there was more
doubt at home concerning the issue of the
struggle than there was among the soldiers,
for the soldiers saw and knew our strength
and the weakness of the enemy, and were
deeply impressed with the Justice of our
cause. In his Judgment, we had exhausted
Cancellation, and their should be no peace, nor
could there be, until the rebels were content
to receive it as part of the Union. His plan
OF paying the war debt was the introduction
of free labor at the south, whereby labor
would become honorable, and by which more
abundant crops of cotton could be raised at
less cost than by slave labor. Cotton could
be raised with profit at less than ten cents
per pound We were now paying fifty and
sixty cents per pound for it. Put tax of ten
cents pound upon cotton, thus bringing the
market price attwenty cents, and we have an
internal revenue from that source alone
enough to pay the interest on a war debt twice
as large as that we now have. Besides by
doing this, England and France, which have
done so much to prolong the war, would thus
be Obliged to pay large proportion of the
debt
After some further remarks, in which he al
luded'to the calumnies that had been cast on
HIM, Gen. Butler concluded by presenting to
the mayor an elegant confederate flag, taken
from the city hall in New Orleans. He gave
1t to Boston not as trophy, but as a memento
OF the evils of secession. Gen. Butler re-
sumed his seat amid enthusiastic cheering.
Among the decorations on the route of the
procession was a large and elegant flag sus-
pended from the residence of Hon. Edward
Everett. A public dinner was rendered to
Gen. Butler but he declined it.

House in the evening. The square was
