The MenrOe Doctrine AgaiH
Repudiated by Repub-
Iican CUgressmen.
The Bill TO Prevent military Inter
ference with Elections Passed.


Relations COMMITTEE, under tne Tuie VI MI
Seward, will not permit their own party
resolution. thus introduced, to come up ior
consideration. 1t is transparent that the
Monroe doctrine plank in the Balti
more platform is merely for buncombe, for
a Republican Congress dare not stand by it,
e.- THE MEXICAN QUESTION.
The Senate Committee on Foreign AT
fairs to day resumed the consideration OF
the Mexican question. Senator McDougai
has endeavored by every possible means to
get the committee to indorse the Baltimore
platform in regard to this matter. But
Stewards influence, it appears is bound to
prevail. The committee will not even allow
the correspondence to be printed, cal He'd for
bv Senator Wade, between Secretary SewI
ard and the Mexican Minister, relative to
trade between France and the U. States,
while France and Mexico were at war with
each other in articles supposed to be in de
rogation of the right of neutrals. Seward
seems to be carrying matters with high
hand.
BILL TO PREVENT MILITARY INTERFERENCE
.I WITH ELECTIONS.
The Senate to-day passed Senator Pow
ellis bill to prevent officers Of the army and
navy, and others persons engaged in the|
military and naval service, from interfering
in elections in States, with such an amend
ment, adopted by Republican vote, as 70
virtually destroy the effect of the bill, and
really sanction in the end such military in
reference. This amendment provides that
troops should not be near any polls except
to preserve peace. which of course, has been
the mere pretepse under which military in
reference has always been made.
THE ARKANSAS OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF
REBEL STATES.
The Senate Judiciary Committee had
under consideration to day the Senate res
oluton in regard to the admission of sena
tors from Arkansas. The committee will
not only dispose Of this matter, but they
will settle the status Of rebel states which
now claim allegiance to the United States.
The Committee regard it of the utmost i'm
portance that this question should be dis
posed of now. They will accordingly re-
port resolution setting forth that all states
which have been and are now in rebellion
cannot be recognised until the inhabitants
thereof render obedience to the United
States, and that they can neither elect SEN
ators or representatives, or vote in the elec-
torial college until all the provisions set
forth are complied with. This important
action, if adopted by the Senate, will rule
them out in their attempts to cast Presi-
Dental vote. ...r.
THE TAX BILL, ,-. .,
The Conference Committee on the Tax
bill will be ready to report Tomorrow
The committee will aceede to the urgent
demands of Secretary Chase, who was pres
ent to-day, and increase the tax on several
of the leading articles The committee at
first were adverse to this, but are now
convinced of it's necessity. Heavy taxa
ton seems to be the only mode Of keeping
up the credit of the government -,,-
THE TARIFF BILL.
The Ways aud Mesns Committee vii
report the Tariff bill to morrow. They
have left most of the Senate amendments
to be adjusted by conference committee.
They have determined to restore the duty
on spices, and to insist upon it. The spec
ulstors in these articles will thus fail in
their operations.
