THE LOAN BILL.

The Bank men were in Washington day or
two ago in full force. OF course they were
not there without an object. 1t may have been
to help along Mr.. HOOper's bill, or so much OF
it as provides for an abatement OF the taxes Oh
the Banks. 1t seems a little hard, we confess,
that these institutions, which can pay OuI n
pcr cent per annum to their stockholders, snould
not be relieved from taxation But the Dahk-
ers may have had another object, and that Is
to secure the passage through the House OF the
bill lately passed so silently by the Senate,
converting the six per cent legal-tenders INTO
three per cents, to the extent of eighty millions;
and thus preventing the contraction OF just
that amount of legal-tender notes when was
stimulated for at the last session.
If this were 80, they nave laneu
in their purpose, for dispatch OF last hIsnt
informs us that the bill was yesterday reterreu
70 the Committee on Banks and Currency, anu
that the Speaker remarked this disposition OF IL
was equivalent 20 killing it for this session.
We hone Mr. McCulloch will now go on and
take ND these compound six per cent notes ac-
cording to the original plan of last year, either
hv having them from cash in hand, or by means
of an ordinary loan. And as we are III the llhe
of suggestion. we will further observe that ne
might meantime advantageOusly stop the banks
from deliberately and constantly violating the
law as they now do, and have long been dong
by returning these compounds as part OF their
lawful money reserves when the law under
which they were issued expressly forbid
such use of them. We hope further
that the House will see TO it that If this bill
should be rcsuscitated now or hereafter, or any
other bill should be offered in regard to the
issue of legal tenders, all further issues OF this
sort shall be without interest. The banks
have had about enough ont OF the Government,
and may as well suspend all further drains OF
this description. We hope however, Dir. McCh-
loch will rorcgo all such leaps backward IN his
progress toward resumption, and suggest no
more legal tender extensions of any kind.

bill, and the question as to whether the PreS1-
dent would enforce it, Mr.. Sumner stating
that the great difficulties of. reconstrHc-
tion arose from the fact that a
bad man was in the Executive chair,
and arguing that the bill did not prevent
Rebels from participating in the work Of recon
struction. Mr.. Conncss was in favor of laying
fine bill on the table and adapting Mr.. Elliots
Louisiana bill 10 all the Rebel States. The
Democrats, including Mr.. Cowm and Mr.. Doc
little, were generally opposed to Com
mittce of Conference, and the Senate
finally insisted on its amendments.
The subject was then returned to the House.
and was again debated at the evening session.
Mr.. Wilson moved to concur, with a
provision that no person excluded from
office by the Constitutional Amendment
shall take part i'll the reconstruction
of any Rebel State. The Democrats moved to
lay the bill on the table, but were defeated by
n vote of 10G to -. FilibuStcIing motions were
then made by the Democrats-Slr' Stevens
assisting-with the purpose OF delaying
the vote on the main question till
after the adjournment of the Senate. With
out any action on the subject the House ad-
iourned, leaving the bill As unfinished business

employment, who would have been industrious
and earned good living had we been making
our own Iron, Cloth and Wares. Many OF
these are widows and orphans of dead soldiers
especially at the South. These would gladly
have found work in factories; but those hau
been burned in the War, or were never
erected. We defy you to erect a hundred
furnaces, rolling-ms, factories, &c, Ill any
agricultural State without increasing the mum
Der who work in that State, the efficiency Oh
their labor, and the sum total of their earnings.
Diversity of employment insures increase OF
industry. And it by no means follows from
the fact that more factories and furnaces were
not built that doing nothing and wandering in
quest of work is more profitable than WorNlns
in factories would be.
New-York tribune., 1867-02-20

The Cable dispatch we publish this morning
relative to the Fenan outbreak in Ireland is of
the same vague, contradictory, puzzling char
acter as those previously received on the sub
ject. The armed Fenians, we are told, have
"all disappeared" and this is the sum total of
the information now given us about the 800
men who, we were informed a few days ago.
had taken the field. Then, the peasantry are
willing to give intelligence of the whereabouts
of the insurgents, but object to assist in the
arrest of their cOuntIymen-that is, they are at
one and the same time willing and unwilling to
assist. Eight hundred have dwindled down to
120 and although "no new rising is appre-
"hended, the Government is still sending troops
''to Ireland" We are persuaded that the true
story of this outbreak is yet to be told.

UgI- THE DEMOCRATS OPPOSE THE RE-

tDNSIRCCJION DiJL'
The spectacle of the entire Democratic minor
it's of the House following the lead OF Mr..
Thaddcus Steyens--whOm their party organs
have so steadily held up to eXecratlon, and
whom they have untruly represented as the
dictator and autOcIat of the majOrty-is calcu-
lated to puzzle the rank and file, who have
been accustomed to find exhilaIatiOn IN the
trumpet-tones of Jack Rogers and rapture III
the melifluous accents of Brooks Perhaps we
can do something toward a solution OF the
puzzlc-and will endcavOr to do it, as follows:
|. As, throughout our great Civil War, 1t was
confidently asserted by the Democratic lead
ers and implicitly believed by their followers
that the Union could never be restored while
the Republicans remained in power, so it is
now asserted by those leaders and believed by
those followers that the Union cannot be recon-
stIucted save under Democratic rule. Prophets
are apt so to act as to verify their own pre-
dctOns if possible; and the Democrats III Con-
gress vote with Mcssrs. Stevens Boutwell, N
Co., in order TO prevent and preclude any Ke-
publican Reconstruction.
III. The Democrats want no Reconstruction; !;
holding that none is needed. In their view,
tbe Southern States are all right now, and
need only recognition Give all power to the
late Rebels; put their feet on the necks OF the
loyal Blacks and their sort of Reconstruction
j. perfrct. TO stavc off Reconstruction is to
give fresh chance for the success of this pro-
grammc. Hence their action Oh the Sherman
bill.
ILL., The Democrats contend that the
Republicans are managing to keep the
South permanently disfranchScd, and at
MI events preclude her from voting for
next President. Mr.. Stevens says frankly
that he is in no hurry for Reconstruction. The
Democrats 80 vote and act az to give HIM
power Ia prevent, or ut least postpone 1t. By
their aid, a small minority of the Republican
party ovcrr1cs aud defeats the majority.
Thcreupon they will turn short about, and de-
nouncc that majority as hostile to restoration
Of the Union
We see nothing in the conduct of the Dem
ocrats in Congress inconsistent with the great
object of their party--to get into power any
how, and ut whatever cost TO the country.
New-York tribune., 1867-02-20

We publish this morning letter from Sec
retary Seward to Gen. Salzar, Minister Of
the United States of Colombia at Wash
ington, in which the latter is informed that the
decree upon the adjudication of maritime prizes
made by President MoSquera is regarded by
our Government as null and void. The decree
of Gen. Mosqucra transfers the adjudication of
prizes brought by cruisers of the South
American Republics OF of Spain into Colombian
ports, to the Supreme Federal Court This po-
sition, Nh Seward asserts, absolutely contra
vcncs international law, which gives the adju
dication to the sovereign of the captor.
