tion bill prohibiting the coast-wise slave
trade and giving negroes the right to testify
III the United States Courts, we're retained IN
the bill By the Conference Committee, and
are therefore passed. The bill was signed by
the President.
The failure Of the House to pass the joint
resolution allowing the Secretary Of the Trea-
snry to appoint Commissioners to examine
into the question Of taxation and revenue, Is
of no particular consequence. The Secretary
has power, under existing laws, to detail
PERSONS for that service, and the resolution
may be regarded indicative Of his purpose to
do so.
Senator Hale Is understood to be candi-
date for the nomination in the Congressional
district represented By Gen. Marston. The
friends Of Gen. Marston are confident, how
ever, that he will secure it.

burse Pennsylvania for expenses incident to

The. Exchange Question.

(: It is a.little difficult to understand the ex-
.ct position OF the issues which have inters
.upted the exchange of prisonera between our
rwn and the Yankee Government. The TACT
that eight hundred of our prisoners at Point
Lookout :ere sent up by Batter to City Point
un. the last flag OF truce boat, led to the, be-
lisf that the exchange, under the provisions
Of the. .csrtel; had been renewed, and that
Butler had been recognized BY our Govern
mqnt as Commissioner of exchange. This is
not the case however;
The Richmond Dispatch of the 9Th inst.
says that the men sent US are receivcd=as pa
roied prisoners, under the cartel rs it was be.
fore the hitch which interrupted the regular
exchange. In sending an equivalent, man
for man will not be returned, but,a numhe.
in ratio with the excessof prisoners which
they claim to have in their possession They
claim To- lave twenty. five per cent. more OF
our prisoners than we have Of theirs, andthe
understanding is that they are to send twenty
FIVE per cent. excess to us inlthc delivery OF
prisoners. The letter of Judge Or!d, refu-
sing to recognize Butler has not been with.
drawn, nor have the difficulties With reference
to the exchange Of negro troops been removed

Gen. Bragg.

The appointment Of this officer to a position
in Richmond ndertheimmcdiate supervision
of the President, has provoked unmeasured,
and in our opinion, uncalled for structures
from some of our cotcmporaries. Gen. Bragg
ID q man of great encrgy and dfacknowledge
ability US an executive officer. Throughly
conycrsant Bith the wants of the army. from
his experience in. the field, his counsel cannot
fail to be of great benefit to the country in
his new position. Whatzdyantage is now to
be derived from condeming Gen. Bragg for
his Kentucky and Tennessee campaignis be.
yond our comprehension. This re-opening Of
old sores can do no good. We have always
believed and do still believe that, he did as
much as any other officer could do With the
very limited means atbis disposal. Letthere
be less upcsled criticism on our officers and
the country will derive more advantages from
tlieir services. What we.want now is har
mopy among all classes Of the people, and
firm, united, sleadfast support Of such meas.
ures as may conduce most to bring about
speedy Termination Of the war and On honora
