The House to-day, after spirited con-
test agreed, by a majority Of twenty-one,
to adjourn, the Senate concurring, on
Wednesday next. General Banks, Thad.
Stevens and Morrill, were earnestly opposed
to an adjournment, and favored continuing,
indefinitely, the session, but there were
Republicans enough voting with the Dem
ocrats to easily carry the proposition,
though the minority resortcd TO every
parliamentary eNpedent to defeat q.
The House steadily passed bills all day,
and indnlged in little or no debate. The
most important measure adopted was the
Amendatory Tariff Bill, placing Il duty of
three cents per pound OF cotton, increasing
the duty on cigars, and repeating the fish
ing bounties, and establishing Il Statistical
Bureau In the Treasury Department. SEN
atOrs say this bill will be postponed in the
Senate until next December.
Tie House, To-day, concured in the
Senate amendment TO the House bill re
ducig the number of Judges of the SlI-
preme Court, and changing the circuits. IL
now goes TO the President for his approval.
The bill provides for nine Judges with the
same number of circuits. IL was intimated
in caucus, the other night, that the Presi-
dent would veto this bin

at Dirbach, and occupied that town. The
conclusion of an armistice was then con-
sldered improbable. Public opinion In

EXPENSE OF THE PHILADELPHIA Con-
vENTIoN.-The assessment to be levied
upon the clerks in the various depart
ments of the government at Washington
for the purpose of defraying the expenses
of the Philadelphia convention and the
fall elections, is per cent. of the July,
August and September salaries. Those
who do not care to pay the assessment
have high authority for refusing, as it is
but few months since that President
Johnson complimented a New Hamp-
shire clerk who refused to pay an assess
ment made upon him for the assistance
Of the Republicans in New Hampshire.
The President declared it was an out
rage to make clerks contribute their pay
for political purposes and directed that
the man who had had independence
enough to resist the tax, should be at
once promoted. The principle of the
thing is the same now as then, but it is
rather doubtful if promotion will be as
promptly awarded to the clerks who re-
fuse to answer Postmaster Randall's call,
as to the man who refused to aid the
New Hampshir Reepublicans.-SwnqfelS

has been perpetrating crimes of various
kinds in this vicinity, and has baffled
all attempts at his arrest, until Satur-
day last, when upon the complaint of
Grand Juror Joyce, Policeman Crawford
took the matter in hand and started
upon his track. About 10 p, m, hear
ing that he had been seen on Pine Hill,
north of this village, Mr.. Crawford, in
company with a couple of citizens, pro-
ceeded to that place, where they sue
ceeded in capturing Cooney. They found
him camped out for the night, and at
once placed him under arrest and con-
veyed him to the County Jail, where he
now awaits examination.

AGENT.-We notice the appointment of
N. W. Bingham, ESQ, of Island Pond, as
special agent of the Treasury department
under the commissioner of customs.
This is the place lately held by Daniel
Roberts, Esq, Of this city, who was
dropped for the professed reason that
such services were no longer needed, and
from pure motives of economy. TC the
enquiries OF Mr.. Roberts friends at the
department, they were assured that no
charges or complaints had been made
against him; that he had the entire con-
tldence of the department, and it was
satisfied with the manner in which he
had performed bis duties. But with the
appointment of General Stannard as COL
lector, it would seem that, in the opinion
of some one, a new necessity has arisen
for special agent who shall be some
one other than Mr.. Roberts.
Mr.. Bingham has been the principal
and confidential deputy Of Mr.. Clapp, at
Island Pond, and we understand he is q
special friend of Mr.. Baxter. The ap-
pointment affords confirmation of our
original conviction, that the real cause
of the dropping of Mr.. Roberts was the
fact that his oversight and investiga-
tions were not grateful to the distribu-
tors of offices in this district.-B Bmlitg-
