1.-THE long Imprisonment Of this man was dis
grace to court Of justice. If he was guilty he
should be brought to speedy trial and speed
lily punished If innocent, his long incarcera
ton was an unconscionablc hardship upon him.
The u. S. had the power and means to bring
witnesses from any quarter of the globe, and
the prosecution should have been ready for

Congress-.

The Senate, yesterday, was engaged during
the greater part of its session in discussing Mr..
Sherman's bill to increase the circulation of
the National banks, twenty millions of dollars.
After considerable debate, an amendment, OIL
cred by Mr.. Morrill,, of Vermont, requiring
that son the issue of any increase Of the Ma
tional currency the Secretary of the Treasury
is required to permanently withdraw an equal
amount of u. S. notes." was rejected, and no
further action was had upon the measure. The
bill for the relief Of naval contractors was
passed. A resolution inviting the Chinese
Embassy to visit the Senate tomorrow was
adopted, and the Senate adjourned.
In House of Representatives, Mr.. Shanks,
of Indiana, introduced resolution declaring
'that in the judgment ofthe House it wlllin-
fict a serious loss on the national revenue to
delay the revision of the taxes on distilled
spirits and tobacco until the same can
be accomplished by a general revision Of
the entire revenue system, and the Committee
of Ways and Means is hereby instructed to re-
port without delay separate bill for the rey1-
sion Of the taxes on the manufacture and sale
of distilled spirits and tobacco" Mr.. Scbenck,
Mr.. Maynard, and other members of the Com
mittee Of Ways and Means, opposed the reso
luton, and after the rejection of several dllato-
ry motions-p proposing to adjourn, that the
resolution lie on the table, etc.-it was finally
adopted This action substantially puts an
end to the Tax bill in its present shape this
session, and secures action upon the whSkey
and tobacco tax alone. Mr.. Phelps presented
several petitions from the citizens of Maryland
against the proposed reduction Of duties on
foreign coal, which were appropriately referred.
The Senate bill concerning the contested cleo
