WASHINGTON, June 19.-It will be
recollected that, several weeks ago, the
Treasury Department delivered to the
banks of New Orleans between $500, 900
and 100000 of Louisiana State banks,
which had been deposited by the bonds
with the State Auditor as security for
their circulation. These bonds were
part of those captured by General
Sheridan at Shreveport. 1t has now
been decided to deliver the remaining
portion, amounting to about a million
and half, to the State Auditor, the
proper identification having been
made.
The President yesterday sent mes
sage to the House in response to re-
quest of that body. The following
facts are gathered from the papers en-
closed: On the 10Th of October last,
an ordinance prohibiting the payment
of all debts created or incurred in aid
of the late rebellion. In the legisla-
ture of South Carolina, in December, a
resolution was reported and passed to
the effect that they had not the neces-
sary information to enable them to act
advisedly in the matter TO repudiate
all debts incurred in support of the re-
bellion. They called on the Comptrol-
Ter General TO furnish it, and until it
should be furnished they could make
no definite recommendation on the sub
ject.
The Georgia Convenention in Novem-
Der, passed an ordinance rendering
null and void all debts created for pur-
poses of carrying on the late war
against the United States. The Legis-
lature besides passed an act prohibiting
in any way the payment of money.
The Convention OF Alabama passed
an ordinance forbidding the assump-
ton of any part of the rebel debt.
The Florida Convention in Novem-
Der. declared the debt null and void.
The Mississippi Convention in August,
repealed the ordinance of secession, and
the Legislature passed II law prohibit
ing the Treasurer from paying any
debts until authorized to do so by that
body. From the papers in possession OF
the State department. it does not ap-
pear that the Treasurer had been or
dered to pay any part of the debt in
CURED in the late rebellion.
The Texas Convention declared the
confederate debt null and void.

latter bank caused a painful sensation,
and the ruined caused by it are said to
exceed in number and severity those
from any single instance of the same
nature. A number oil families of In
dian officers have all their savings in
vested in its shares, The breakdown of
the bank is attributed to the per-
sistent attacks of speculation in shares
whose proceedings are loudly de-
