fixed at two cents. The other amendments
adopted are unimportant.
The Senate took recess.
HoUsE.-The deficiency bill, involving
sll, 500, 900 was, considered and elected a
heated debate. A provision was adopted
allowing nothing to be paid to those who
have participated in the rebellion. Phe
appropriation for the White House was
rejected.
An amendment was offered appropriating
$4,000 to help Liberia. A proposition
that the money be withheld until white

ted much mirth. The whole matter was
postponed.

THE SENATE on THE INTERNAL TAX BILL.
The tax bill occupied the Senate Thurs
day night. Some fifteen sections, pro-
viding penalties for defrauding the reve-
nue. of the tax on distilleries, were struck
out. Mr.. Fessenden says that they are
worth nothing. Several senators express
ed the opinion that it would be impossible
to prevent frauds SO long as the tax was
retained at the present high figure. The
tax of three per cent. on the gross receipts
from newspaper advertisements, which
was struck out by the House, was restored,
Mr.. Fessenden remarking that he saw no
reason for the exemption.

"Ths Radicals have 'put themselves

THE Ross GOLD SwINDLISG OPERATION
The particulars of gold swindling opera.
ton in May, 1865, by which abroker named
John Ross fraudulently obtained 100000
in gold from various bankers in this city,
have finally come to light. The money
was obtained by gold certificates, appa'
rently signed by the Continental Bank.
Ross escaped with his booty in vessel
named the Dakota, which was kept in
readiness for the purpose of carrying him
away. He is now presumed to be in Bra
iii, where he is safe from the clutches of
the United States officials, there being no
treaty between the two coun-
tries. Several suits have grown out Of the
case, two firms suing the Continental
Bank for the sums named on the gold GER
and claiming that the signatures
are genuine.-Ne,o Tork Herald.
