On motion Of Mr.. Sherman, the chairman OF
the Committee on Finance in the Senate, a new
conference committee was ordered on the dis.
agreement between the two houses In reference
to the cotton tan, and the committee was In.
structed to agree to the House bill, which repeats
the tax Internationally, with an amendment
providing for the repeal Of the duty on cotton
imported into the United States.
The Senate passed the following bill:
Be II enacted, &C., That the sum of tl6,o0o be,
and the same is hereby, appropriated, out of any
money In the Treasury not otherwise appro-
priated, for the temporary relief Of the destitute
population In the District Of Columbia, to be ex.
pended under the supervision and direction OF
the Commissioner Of Refugees, Freedmen and
Abandoned Lands: Prorided, That as far as
practical said sum shall be expended In the en-
ployment of persons upon the public grounds
and works In the District Of Columbia for which
appropriations have been heretofore made by
Congress, such laborers to be under the direction
Of the officer acting as Commissioner OF Public
Buildings and Grounds.
The Authorization bill, as II goes to the
President, is rs follows;
Be u enacted by tie Senate and House of Represenf.
afires Of the United States Of America IN Congress
assembled, That from and after the passage of
this act the authority Of the Secretary OF the
Treasury to make any reduction Of the currency,
by retiring or cancelling United States notes,
shall be and Is hereby suspended; but nothing
herein contained shall prevent the cancellation
and destruction OF mutiiated United States notes
and the replacing Of the same with notes of the
same character and amount.

The Mississippi Convention.

JACKSON, MISS; Jan. 22.-In convention to-
day, the rules were suspended to receive the re.
ports OF the special and standing committees.
report requesting the general commanding to
suspend the taxes for 1867 on all persons not al.
lowed representation was received. The com.
mittee on memorial to Congress to yacate the
State Offices made a majority report reciting
that tho loyal people of Mississippi require I'm.
mediate aid from Congress to remove the instruc.
tions impeding the action Of their repres enta.
tives In convention assembled.
A minority from the same committee reported
that, as Congress had connded the State officers
to the military commanders OF the district, and
as the bill now pending before Congress, In
all probability, would soon pass, giving Gen.
Grant supervisory power over all military dis
tricts, thus securing q more Just and efficient
government In this and all other Southern Statesj
as Congress recently defeated a resolution to
vacate the Offices, empower the convention to All
them, and as there would probably be = speedy
change from military to a civil government cs
tablished by vote Of the people, therefore II IL
| deemed incxpedient to memorialze Congress on
the subject. No action was taken on either
| report.

Delaware bay railroad, unconstitutional, and
that the question Of entire State commerce be.

by Pangborn and Ransom, OF Hudson; Scovel, OF
Camden, and Johnson, Major Halstead and Dr.
Trimble, of Essex. A State Executive Commit
tee OF eleven Is recommended for the purpose Of
