pointed committee. consisting of Assessor Bowles
of Augusta. Georgia, and Collector Moses. of
Sumter, South Carolina, TO proceed to Washing
ton for the purpose of urging upon Congress the
modification Of the test oath, so far as 1t affects
Assistant Assessors and Deputy Collectors, under
the advice Of the Secretary Of the Treasury and
in consequences OF the impossibility for obtaining
men who could take the test oath. Assistants have
been appointed in many cases who could only par
TALLY qualify. To urge Congress to do this is the
first object Of the committee failing in which they
will urge that the salaries Of these assistants be
made large enough to induce northern men to 60
and accept the Offices.
The District Attorney for this District has been
ordered by the Treasury Department to commence
an action against Brig. Gen. r. d. Mussey, late
private Secretary to President johnson, to re-
cover the sum of $4,000, which it is alleged was
distracted from the sum advanced him for re-
cruit:ng and for which it is claimed he has failed
to account.
Ia pursuance Of the report of the Commission
ers and Chief Engineer of the Central Pacific Rail-
road of California, the Solicitor of the Treasury
has submitted an opinion that the company is
entitled to bonds to the amount Of $64O,OO0, the
sum allowed per mile being $32, 600.
Secretary MeCulloch was assured yesterday by
several members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee that as soon as the reciprocity matter was
disposed of, the loan bill would be called up and
finally disposed Of They also notified him that
Mr. Stevens substitute would not prevail.
Another contribution from Birmingham eng
land) Association, was yesterday received by Gen
Howard. The invoice consisted Of clothing, and
amounted in value to over $1,000. The money
value of the articles heretofore contributed by the
same association is over $1,000 all of which was
donated before the termination of the rebellion.
Well authenticated reports have recently
reached Gen. c. Howard. Assistant Commissioner
of the Freedmen's Bureau for the District of Co
lumbia, Maryland and several of the eastern
counties of Virginia. to the effect that certain un-
principled and unauthorized persons are engaged
in transferring freedmen from Baltimore and vi
einity to Annapolis, where they are By some pro-
ces unknown disposed of to their employers at $40
per head. Stringent efforts are being made by the
Bureau to ferret out and bring them to justice.
