The House Military Committee today
determined to continue the consideration
Of the consumption bill to the exclusion
of all other business. They also settled an
important question respecting private
property destroyed by order of the Gov
eminent for military purposes. They do
not think it expediens to appropriate pub

The amendment tax bill was referred
