SPECIAL DISPATCHES TO EVENING TELEGRAPH. ]
WAsHweToN, March 6.

Vhe new fNecOnstruCttOn Law
Official publication is made to-day, through
the Department of State, of the act to provide
for the more efficient government of the Rebel
States and the act regulating the tenure of
certain civil Offices, both of which, it will be
recollected, were passed by the two Houses of
Congress over the vetoes of the President.
The Present Session OF Congress.
The disposition in both Houses of Congress
grows stronger to make the present session
very brief and there is some talk of adjourn
ing as early as Friday of this week or Monday
of next. The Speaker has announced that he
should appoint none of the Standing Commit
tees unless otherwise instructed by the House,
except those on elections, rules, and mileage,
which would have immediate business to act
upon. There is considerable speculation as to
the formation of the Committees, but if the
course above indicated is pursued, the Speaker
will have abundant time as well as abundant
material for his purposes. As to the time of
reassembling, the opinion is also quite general
in favor of meeting again in September or
October.
The Finance Committee Of the Senate.
The country will regret to hear that Senator
Fessenden has announced that he will no
longer serve on the Finance Committee of the
Senate. The labor of this position has been
so great as to seriously affect the Senator s
health; nevertheless his retiracy from its
chairmanship though succeeded by so able a
man as Senator Sherman, will occasion pro-
found regret among all who valued modera-
tion, integrity, and untiring industry, COM
bined whh great ability, in the person of this
thorough legislator and statesman.
Reconstruction In Virginia.
Private information received here indicates
the rejection of Governor Pierpont's recon-
mendatiOn to adopt the Sherman Reconstruc-
ton bill. In the Virginia Legislature resolu-
tions were introduced recommending such a
course, and referred to the Committee ON
Federal Relations, but the action on them has
been decided by caucusing, which resulted
unfavorably to the proposition.

Quotations of Gold-104 A. NJ, 1861; IL AM,
1866; IL NJ, 1863; P. NJ, 1861, decline Of l
on the closing price last evening.
The New York Tribune this morning says:-
There is no change in the rate of money on call but
there s scrutiny to colateras and borrowers.
Upon Governments money is had at 5C06 and upon
mixed colaterals 6CD7 per cent, with little doing
among brokers at less than 7. Commercial paper is
ready of sale unless OF the highest character Or
binary paper sells at full legal rates, and names not
widely known at high prices.
BY Involuntary sections fthe Bankrupt act power
is gwen tn creditor for very slight cause to throw
debtor into the Bankrupt Court, and his pro-
perty and assets to pass into the hands OF receiver.
This will contract the credit system, and tend to
lower prices; for IL makes cOrnering and monopoliz-
Ing dangerous undertakings, IL based on credit, as
they almost always are.
Exchange is again lower. The decline in rates has
brought out rather more buyers but the supply OF
hills predominates over the demand. We quote

information from Alexandria, Virginia the
Republicans held mass meeting at Lyceum

colored men, and after addresses by the Re-
publican candidate for the MayOralty, George

offer their votes to the Commissioners of

would take them. This morning this course
was pursued by the cOlored men, and the Com

votes. In consequence, places were opened

the President OF the United States, to inquire

PhiIRdelphiRns at the Capital
There are many Philadelphia polilci here,
and the expected early adjournment of Con-
gress makes them particularly anxious about
the disposal of certain Federal offices in and
aboui Philadelphia.
Second Internal Revenue District.
James Freeborn and William McMchael are
urged for the Assessorship of the Second Dis
trct. Both of these gentlemen are radical Re-
publicans, and are supposed to be backed mp by
Senator Cameron's friends.
Fourth Internal Revenue District.
1t is understood that Alfred Adolph will be
nominated for collector Of the Fourth District.
NoPhiladelphia appointments have been sent
into the Senate to-day.
The Senate Finance Committee.
The cause of MIR. Fessenden's declination to
serve further on the Senate Committee of
Finance is his feeble health. 1t is probable
that a Committee on Appropriations Will be
created in the Senate TO relieve the Finance
Committee of some OF its labor, in which case
Mr.. Fessenden may consent to serve.
The Tariff Bill and the Proposed Recess
An Intellectual attempt was made IN the
House to-day TO bring up tne Tariff bill, and
get IL referred TO the Ways and Means Commit
tea, and the House adjourned over until to-
morrow, that the work of the session might be
