CoNGREssIoNAL.-We find By the report 1f
Monday. proceedings in Congress that judge
Poland introduced a bill, providing for tie
issue Of United States bonds. retiring Uni
tel States notes and for a free system % ma
tional banking. The bill propose. the issue
of coupons or registered bonds and the amount
of one thousand millions Of dollars redecma-
bic in coin after thirty and fifty years rcspec-
lively, the thirty year bonds u be on interest
at 4 Ia per cent. in coin, and the fifty year
bonds 10 bear interest at / per cent. the
bonds to he exempt from national, State and
municipal taxes, except the income tax. and
to be exclusively used in the payment Of or
exchange for outstanding bonds or notes 1at
have fallen due or bear interest at higher
rates. The Secretary OF the Treasury is %
retire and cancel all L. :. notes now out-
-.--diu- bv their conversion into sucb haLL
Circulating notes are TO be issued u the IA
ti0nal banks as fast rs tho L.. ;. notes are
Cancelled until the amount Of L. S. notes OF
standing shall be reduced 70 one hundal
millions Of dollars. The national banks 1e
hereafter 70 make their deposits for the scotr-
ing Of their circulations in the bonds provI-
ed in the act
The essential features Of this bill, it VIII
be noticed, are the same rs the proposition
urged in The FREEMAN Of December 2al.
We hope Judge Poland will be able to at
isfy the House that the measure is wise ard
safe. IL seems to US now, as it has for many
weeks, to be the surcst, speelicst, and least
dangerous method Of getting back to coin as
a measure Of value.

The Sue MuRruY CLAm.-The Senate ha

The Sue MURPHY CLAm.-The Senate has
spent several days in discussing the propriety,
expediency and lawfulness, of paying a young
woman, known as Sue Murphy, Of Alabama
we believe, for a house which Gen. Sherman
destroyed on his march to the sea. Miss
Murphy, it is alleged, was loyal during the
war, although she was, at the time the house
was destroyed, only about sixteen years of
age. The opposition to the bill is grounded
upon the danger in establishing a precedent
for the payment of such claims. and is based
upon the general principle of international
law, that an invading army is not RESPONSE
bic for property which it destroys in an
enemy's country. Those ~fayoring the claim
urge that it was the duty Of the government
to protect all its loyal citizens everywhere ;
and they Insisted that the principles of inter
national law had no application to the case.
No vote was reached, but the bill WAS com
mitted for further report. The question is
one of great Importance, as, if the bill is
passed, it will furnish a precedent for allow
ing similar claims to the amount of many
millions of dollars.

GIN. BUTLER made an elaborate speech
last week in favor Of a paper currency practi-
cally unlimited in amount and payable by
lie would nave the government
issue legal tender notes to anybody who
would deposit bonds as security, and allow
them to bring the legal tenders back and get
the bonds again any time after thirty days,
paving interest in the meantime a. the rate
Of three dollars and sizty-fve cents per
annum on every one hundred dollars in
other words, he would ~inaugurate a monster
national bank at which anybody can borrow
money-or papernotes-5y depositing United
States bonds as collaterals, at the above rate
of interest. He also proposes to force all
the nationalb bank currency out of circulation.
He thinks this would reduce rates of interest,
make money plenty, and disabuse the world
Of the idea that gold and silver were fit to
be used as money. Gen. Butler is, doubtless,
in advance Of the age, in this scheme,-so
much SO, in fact. that the scheme will suffer
in consequence. just now there is a preju-
dice in favor of gold and silver as money, or
at least as the basis of money, which the
experience Of this country with its incon-
vertible currency for the last seven years,
has considerably strengthened. After VIC
have tried gold and silver again for a while,
if we don't like it perhaps we shall be will
ing to consult DIR. Butler but his pre.crip-
ton will hardly be taken at present. 1t is
a little too much of the hair of the same
dog from whose bite we have suffered, to
recommend the treatment.

Gen. Sheridan is vigorously prosecuting
the war against the Indians. A recent Is
patch from him says twenty five chiefs Of the
Cheyennes and Arapahoes had come in and
asked for terms Of peace. They were il a
very destitute condition. Shcridan's winter
campaign is evidently teaching these hostile
Indians that war is a game that two can
play at.
The House have referred 30 the committee
of the whole-which practically kills-she

millions for building a ship canal around he

case, by the most ~prohigate legislation.
1t is understood that Mr.. Revcrdy John
son ald the British government have agreed
upon the terms of a treaty, in which England
abandons her claim that her subjects can
never change their allegiance, and agrees to
recognize naturalizcd and native American
citizens as entitled to the same treatment by
her. The Senate will shortly act upon this
treaty.
There is some prospects Of war between

coNeREssIoNAL JoKEs.

In the midst of the steady, sober, almost
stupid round of Congressional business. ocea-
sionally are some very l~aughable things.
OF course, jokes arc cracked and sharp things
said continually. Mr.. Stevens used to be
noted for the relentlessness with which he
pursued men, and now that he is gone his
sayings are in the mouth of every one. Mr..
Mcpherson, Clerk of the House, is collecting
all these incidents and will weave them into
his forthcoming Life of Mr.. Stevens, which
bids fair to be of great interest. One of the
most laughable things we have seen here for
a long time was a bill introduced in the
House the other day, with the following title
:" bill to remove unconstitutional Office
holders, and punish those who violate the
same" W.

Our Washington Correspondence.
TIE SUE MIRPmY CLAM.

THE SUE NURPH CLAIM.
Mr.. EDIroR Little Of Importance has
been accomplished thus far this session,
though many things have been touched on.
The Senate has been occupied almost entirely
with the claim Of Sue Murphy for property
destroyed during the war. The ease itself is
of little Importance, apart from the fact that
it is made a test case. Since the war,-and
in fact during its continuance Congress has
refused to even listen to the claims of those
who lost property by reason of the rebellion,
no matter how just their claim or how great
hardship the refusal might bring upon the
claimant. Now it is to be tested whether
Congress will put these claims on the same
basis with all others, and on proof of loyal
ty and loss therefor, pay them. There are
multitudes of cases where property was dc
liberatoly taken and destroyed by our gener-
ais, when no enemy was near, and when the
owners were known to be loyal. Some of
these cases are very hard, and certainly no
one can censure the Senate for considering
the matter very carefully before they either
determine to do a great injustice, or open the
treasury for the payment of the tens of mil
lions it would take to pay all these claims.
The dilemma is a very unfortunate one, and
itlmay be of grea moment which horn they
will choose to impale us on.

NIAGARA FALLS CANAL.

That great national measure, 4 ship canal
around Niagara Falls, was again agitated in
the House yesterday. 1t is one Of the few
internal improvements that really demand
the aid Of the United States. and as Caanda
will probably soon be a part of US, Will be
then even more necessary. rs things now
stand the railroads and the Erie canal mo-
nopolize the transportation Of all the grain
and other produce Of the West, very much
to the injury of all sections. but more cs-
pecially of the East. In fact, millions Of
dollars worth Of our products every year are
lost to Us virtually, by reason Of inadequate
transportation. What a great thing it would
be if vessels from the whole world could sail
directly to Chicago or Milwaukee, and thus
have easy access to boundlcss riches, Such
a canal would be worth to the Western farm
ers, and, in fact, to our whole population,
infinitely more than any protection, or any
Pacific Railroad, either Of which must i'm
poverish one class for the benefit of another.
Unfortunately, We are not in n situation just
now to enter largely into these valuable i'm
provemcnts, but are willing, if need be, to
postpone the advantage of this work for
a while, that there may be no pretext for Civ
ing the two hundred millions asked for the
different Pacific railroad jobs

productive of good, and not free from evil,
bids fair to be swept from our statutes. In the
