Rebel papers of Yesterday, claim that
Fitz Hugh Lee and Hamilton met whole
corps Saturday night. In fact we had only
Greggs division, and one of Torbetts brig.

as Hancock's front, and the movement be.
gan soon after daylight. 1t is still going On.

Financial Affairs.

A special} to the Post dated Washing
ton June 2nd, says.
The reason why per cent loan Of 1881
bonds has not been advertised by the
Treasury Department is that other plans
have been urged upon Mr.. Chase. One of
these plans is to put loan of new 7:30
bonds on the market bearing interest pay
able in currency. prominent member Of
Congress urges the Secretary to make the
bonds payable in gold. Senator Wilson
stated yesterday that the new tax bill will
not nett the Government much more than
$2OO00O,OO0. A large deficit must be
provided for in some way.

SpuNKY.-We recently heard the cir
cumstances of rather IN amusing affair
which shows that "when woman will she
will" It seems that about two or three
months ago a shoulder strapped upstart
came to this city to take charge OF the
booke in one of the departments Like
many others, he was inclined to put on
airs, although it is said he "has no more
sense than the law allows" He had an idea
he was an aristocrat, and glosting Upon his
greenback loyalty, he sought good comps-
ny. By some means or other, while run.
ming around among the first families Of the
city he became acquainted with Q young
Miss of the Secesh persuasion. Of course
the young lady treated him with civiity,
and one evening when be was leaving her
fathers house, he asked her If he could &C.
company her to party which was to come
off a few evenings afterwards. She consent
ed, aud when the appointed evening came the
two went to the house where pleasant
time was expected. In the course of the
evening the shoulder strapped gent. seated
himself at the piano and Played the Star
Lpangled Banner. The young lady then
played the Bonnie Blue Flag, at which the
officer took offense and declined to accom-
papy the fair damsel to her home. The
Young lady politely informed the young
man that she had as much right to her
opinions as he had to his, thanked him for
any service he had ever rendered her, and
then walked to her home-half mile dis
fant-Hithout company.

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, June 2.

NASHtNGTON, oune (.
Mr.. Stevens reported substitute to the
Senate bill amendatory Of the Pacific R. R.
act passed July, 1862.
The consideration was postponed until
Thursday.
Mr.. Morrill,, of Vt, remarked that the
committee on w. Is and Means had direct
ed him to euggest that this entire day he
given to the discussion of the tariff bill and
that to morrow the debate BIS confined to
Ave minute speeches. ~.
On his motion it was resolved that the
House at 4:30 to day take recess till 7:30.
Mr. Smith moved that VIII the House ad-
journs to morrow it be till Monday week.
The Speaker replied that the House
could not thus adjourn.
The House then went into committee of
the whole, Mr. Schenck in the chair, and
took up the tariff bill. .... --.
Mr. Morrill, stated thereasoDs for a change
in the tariff. The Treasury required large
supply Of means The increase Of intesnal
duties made considerable increase of du.
ties on foreign importations necessary. If
large means can be secured f,r the suppress
siof the rebellion he did not believe that
the war would be protracted after the rebel
army was annihilated. The purpose Of the
bill was to increase the revenue and at the
same time nurture our damestic products,
and thus secure an increased internal reve.
nve. AS to the depreciation of the curren
cy he said, though a decisive victory will
prove a shard remedy, still, perhaps the
most effectual remedy would be TO cease
the issue Of legaltenders and rely upon the
loans in U. stocks. The committee did not
re commend prohibitory duties because the
Government seeks revenue. This was as
war measure and temporary in its charac.
ter, and as such he believed the country
would approve of it. ..... - =
