FROM WASHINGTON.
Emancipation in Missouri.


Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribuue.]
WASHINGTON, Jan. &, 1868.
Western Republicans arc greatly delighted
over the triumphant passage Of Nocls bull for
emancipation in Missouri. Its principal fea.
tures remain precisely us they were telegraph
ed in tho dispatches some weeks ago, ex-
cept in the third section. This,
which provides that nothing should be paid
for any slave imported after this date, or to
any owner who either is Or has been disloyal,
is nov amended, so as to provide also that no
owner who may hayc wilfully refused to take
the oath Of allegiance to the Government Of
the United States when required thereto BY
any military or civil authority Of the United
States or Of the State Of Missouri, shall re-
ceiyc any compensation for loss Of service Of
| his slaves. -
Other sections appropriate $l0, ,0oo, 900 Of
thirty year five per cent. bonds for paying
| loyal owners; pledges the United States Gov.
| crrment to employ all reasonable measures
for the colonization Of these emancipated
slaves outside Of the United States; and pro-
vides that. to secure the benefit Of this net,
the Missouri Legislature must pass its
emancipation bill before the 1st Of January,
1864, and must make It's emancipation imme-
diate. It also reqniree interest On those $10,-
0,O0o bonds to be reimbursed to the q. 8.
Treasury from the proceeds Of coudscatcd
rebel property. The prospects Of the bill in
the Senate tonight seem to bc fair. During
the debate on this bill to-day In the House,
Wicklif1e delivered himself Of superauous
bile on the subject. He denounced the bill
Us q miserable abolition scheme, and felt Il
his duty and his privilege to state, in the fact
: Of Heaven, In the presence Of Congress and
in the hearing Of the nation, that there is mo-
one man In three hundred In Kentucky, II
| favor Of such measure. He would repeat
again and again, that there Is no public senti

demonstrations gained several votes for th
; bill.

SPR1EaF1ELD. Jan. 6, 1868.
Several bills to make United States Treas
ury Notes and postal currency, up to IS, a
legal tender in payment Of taxes, were offered
to-day in the Senate. The Judiciary Commit
tee reported substitute, embodying the same
principle, which was adopted in the House.
A similar bill was passed, three Egyptians
and Fuller Of Cook only voting against it.
Smith Of Union, Dem., in the course Of the
debate, said that the United States Treasury
Notes we're conceived in sin and born in in
iquity. Another Democrat OF the same stripe
said the Treasury Notes in few years would
become as worthless as Continental money.
Another said that in 6ix months bushel Of
tliam would not be worth 'fsix bits.''
The Governors Message was read in both
houses, and Notwithstanding its great length,
was listened to with profound attention. It
is regarded Us one Of the ableEt ever issued
in this State. The Democrats object to moth
ing in it but its politics. In the Senate 1000
copies In English and 5000 III German, were
ordered printed. The House adjourned with.
out taking any action, and the Democrats will
probably refuse to order any copies printed.
There will be Republican meeting i'll the
State House on Friday evening, in opposition
to the late demonstration.
Speakers from abroad are invited A dele

Palmer Of this State, reported wounded al

in favor Of demanding m arnlstice from ths

officers and men. This vessel was ordered .
a few days since to proceed to Fortress Mon
roc and convoy the Monitor on her Important
mission. She did SO; took the iron-clad in

Connecting the Waters of the

Of the 5sh says:
The project Of connecting the waters Of the
Mississippi with those Of the Atlantic by
means Of ship canal, which has been up
proved by both the Naval aud Military Com
mittecs Of the House, md the Military Com
mittce Of the Senate, will be brought forward
Immediately. It is strongly urged, not only
us measure Of military necessity, but one Of
great public importance on account Of the
saving to the producer in the cost Of trans
portation to market. It Is estimated By those
who have carefully studied the statistics Of
production and transportation that the saving
upon a single crop will be more than suffi-
cicnt to pay the whole expense Of the i'm

This document was assentcd to by all the
parties interested, and they promised MINOR
Mcdowell to return to Cincinnati on the mail
House at noon yesterday, when they would
be prepared to hand over tue several sums set
opposite to their names.
With this understanding they all left Louis

At noon Yesterday they all met ct The Rurnet
House, AID the entire amount OF S53, ,tf33 was
handed over to Maj. Mcdowell, and the scy-
er1l parties were released.
It is now ascertained that Cooks deficit
will reach, If it does not exceed, S265 900.
The government recovered 81, ,1G0 at Cairo,
which, with the amount obtained here yestcr-
day, amount TO $125, ,799. It is expected that
f5o,ooo, or probably more, will be recovered
from other parties implicated elsewhere, and
that the government will reimburse $175, 900
or S200 600 Of Cooks defalcation.
It is pretty certain tlat Cook Inns saved for
himself Il handsome sum, which lie has charged
that the gamblers have won from him. This
he should be made to disgorge, If there is any
on parole, and cannot leavc that city.
The Investigation has been adro!tly and sue
cessfnlly managed by Maj. Mcdowell, and to
his good judgment and discretion is tue Gov
ernment indebted for the recovery Of SO large
