The QUESTIONS OF TAXATION AND CURRENCY DIS

sentatives on the Slst December Mr.. Baldwin pre-
sented the report of the Special Committee to whom
was referred the subject of the currency.
Mr.. Conrad said that before the report was read
he desired to say that the committee vas divided as
to the propriety of its being reported and consider
ed in open session Some thought it should be con-

so would be incompatible with the public interests.
The committee had decided by barely one majority
in favour Of its being reported in open session and
be thought it due to the House to make this expla

Mr.. Kenan thought it would be best to have the
report read in secret session, and then the House
could better decide whether should be considered
in open or secret session, and he would so move
The motion prevailed, and the House resolved it.

debate ensued as to the policy of secret sessions
Alter some time spent in secret session the doors
were reOpened and the House adjourned.
If these secret sessions are continued, especially
on questions relating to currency and taxation,
which touch the interests of the whole people,
the inquiry will naturally arise is it necessary to
discuss any thing in open session. Whittier are

determined to take every thing, in secret into
their own handsH We warn the people to look

country, except in extreme cases. "Power is al

The ranks of the army certainly required filling
up, but they thin not because the muster rolls
were not full, but because the men on the muster
rolls were not in the ranks. Absenteesm was the
great Of the day. We lost the battle of Mission
ary Ridge because of absenteeism. Officers of that
army were absent who were as well as he was. He
could give the names Of some of these officers, but
not all Of them, as they were too numerous. But
if any of them come before the Senate for pro-
motion, and he knew it, he would mention the facts
and vote against him. General Bragg had stated
in his report that two thirds of his army absent
All Of them were, probably, not on sick furloughs.
