TIE DISPATCHES OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
From WASHINGTON.

NEW YORK, April Z-The statement tele-
gfaphed to New York on Saturday evening. that
the Reconstruction Committee had prepared va
rious propositions for report, is incorrect There
was a meeting of the committee held yesterday
and more fully attended than usual, and 1t Is un-
derstood that various constitutional amendments
and separate measures of legislation were pro
posed and debated, but no comprehensive or com
plete propositions were discussed. and certainly
nothing definitely concluded upon the report to
the House. The committee will meet again at
10 O'Clock, when the separate propositions sub
mitted by different members may be embodied in
form preparatory to a report. The chairman will
soon present the final report Of the committee,
summing up the results arrived at its investiga-
tons. and Recommending a more general policy Of
restoration. 1t possible that this report will be
accompanied BY bill or joint resolution relating
to the qualifications Of Federal ofice-holders in
rebellious States which shall embody the idea of
prohibiting the political power of that section
from ever being controlled by those who were
active in the rebellion.
The Judiciary Committee have agreed to report
against any modification of the Test Oath. They
will conelusively answer the objections raised that
its modification is requisite to secure proper Off
cials at the South. by showing that there are suf
fcient numbers Of competent Union residents to
fill every requisite Federal appointment.
Now new national banks were chartered last
week. The total number of these institutions
now doing business throughout the country is
1850. The total amount of their notes in circu-
lation is SOS, 02S.94O.
The receipts from internal revenue on Saturday
last were $4l1.4lS so; and for the week eRding
that dag $3.454.l94 IS.
General Grant, prior to his departure for Rich
mond. issued special order for the protection of
Union citizens of Florida from cruelties and in

President johnson, who is member Of the Ma
sonic fraternity, has invited the Supreme Council
Of the Southern Jurisdiction to visit him.
1t is reported that the President will soon issue
a proclamation setting apart the 9TH proximO as
day of fasting and prayer in view of the antcipa-
ted visit to this country Of cholera.
The President has approved the bill authorizing
the Secretary of the Navy to lease or sell at pub
lie auction such marine hospital buildings and
lands appertaining thereto as he may deem ad-
visabe, provided the hospital at Cleveland, Ohio,
and Portland, shall be sold or leased where no
other suitable or sufficient hospital accommOda-
tons can be procured upon reasonable terms, for
the comfort and cow enience of patients
The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to
sell at public auction such of the Revenue Cut
tiers as he shall find not adapted to the purposes
of revenue service, and to expend the proceeds
in the purchase or construction of other vessels
better suited to the wants of the service.

From Rev. ]. Newton Brown, D. D.. editor of

Christian Chronicle, Philadelphia:
Although not disposed to favor or recommend
Patent Medicines in general, through distrust of
their ingredients and effects, yet know Of suf
fcent reasons why man may not testify to the
benefit he believes himself to have received from
any simple preparation, in the hope that he may
thus contribute to the benefit of others.
do this the more readily in regard TO Hoof-
lands German Btters, prepared by DR.. G. NJ.
Sackson, of this city, because l was prejudiced
against them for many years, under the impress
sion that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture.
| am indebted to my friend, Robert Shoemaker,
Esq, for the removal of this prejudice by proper
tests and for encouragement to try them when suf-
fering from great and long continued debility.
The use of three bottles of these Bitters at the
beginning of the present year. was followed by
evident relief and restoratian to a degree of bod
lily and mental yigor which | had not felt for six
months before and had almost despaired of re-
gaining. therefore thank God any my friend for
directing me to the use of them.
