News from New York.

NEW YORK, May SS.-1uo luUTninS
papers have the following special dis
patches from Washington:
The Senate Finance Committee are
reported to be unable to agree upon
recommending either Shermans or Fes-
senden's bank bill, and to have referred
the matter to a subcommittee, which Is
now considering the propriety OF bring
ing in q bill embodying substantially
the idea of Comptroller Clark. The
matter has progressed to the extent OF
framing an amendment to the present
National Banking law, which provides,
among other things, that an additional
issue of one hundred millions OF national
bank currency shall be authorized; that
not moro than ten millions of the one
hundred millions shall be issued within
six months from the passage OF this law
that thereafter not more than 1ouT
millions shall be issued dur ng any one
month; and that all the national banks
shall be compelled to redeem their notes
at some advertised agency in New YoIk,
Philadelphia or Boston, under the pen
atty of having receiver appointed to
wind up the affairs. If not agreed upon,
this amendment will be introduced
within a few days, and some definite
action taken in the matter.
There are indications of speedy ad'
iournment of Congress
The Herald says Of the Republican
senatorial caucus yesterday: No definite
conclusion was reached. The whole
matter was referred TO the senatorial
portion Of the Reconstruction Commit
tee, consisting of Senators Fessenden,
Grimes, Howard, Harris and Williams
Senator Johnson was also on the com.
mittee, but being Democrat he could
not participate in the caucus. Nearly
all the Republican Senators agree that
the third section of the proposed cOnsti-
tutional amendment will be stricken
out in the caucus, and the disfranchise-
ment of specified class of rebels sub
stituted ia its place. 1t is also found,
upon discussion, that larger number OF
the members are in favor of restricting
this class as much as possible, than was
generally supposed two weeks ago
The general opinion is that the
restriction will extend to those
who have held certain civil and
military Offices under the Federal
Government, although it is by no means
improbable that it may turn upon those
who have taken and violated certain
oaths to the Federal Government. lt is
also thought probable the caucus will
amend the I'd section of the proposed
Constitutional Amendment, basing the
representation of States upon voters IN
stead of numbers, as proposed by the
Reconstruction Committee. This Is sub
stantially the Presidents idea, and is
fast gaining ground with Representa-.
tiyes and Senators. 1t is also certain
that the caucus will agree upon so
framing the amendment as to admit OF
seperate State action, thus placing it in
the power of any State to acquire repre-
sentation instead of being dependent
upon the action of other States.
