Motley or Banks for the English Mission.
Senator Sumner informed several Of his fellow
Senators to-day that he had authority for say
ing that J. Lothrop Motley had been agreed
upon by the President and the Secretary OF
state for Minister to England IL is un-
understood that at the Cabinet meeting tomorrow
the foreign appointments win be considered and
most OF them decided upon, including the chief con-
sular positions. Sumner thinks Mr.. Motley's nomi-
nation for England will be sent to the Senate to-
mentioned for that important position.
Revenue Investigations by the Committee On
Ways and Means.
The Committee on Ways and Means to-day passed
Q resolution that they will personally examine into
all the Custom House warehouses, revenue 0flces,
&C., and everything pertaining to revenue laws, in
order TO enable them to frame tariff bill by the
next session Of Congress. They Will probably ex-
tend their visits from Boston to san Francisco CON-
mencing at New York in May next.
The Redistribution Of the Currency.
The Committee on Banking and Currency held q
meeting to-day and spent some time in discussing
the Senate bill for redistribution Of the national
bank currency among the States and Territories.
There is great diversity Of opinion among the mem
bers OF the committee the subject and the pros
pect OF agreement was SO small that the chairman
OF the committee, Mr.. Garfield, endeavored TO get
resolution passed to-day compelling the commit
tee to report the bill tomorrow He offered
this his own account and failed to get 1t
adopted. Subsequently Mr.. Coburn, Of Indiana, an
other member Of the committee, introduced bill
on his own account the same as offered by him last
Congress- but he did not get 1t considered. To-day
the Comptroller OF the Currency and Amasa Walker,
OF Boston, before the committee and explained
further relative TO the effect OF the section In the
Senate bill for the redistribution OF the currency.
the want Of agreement among the mem
bers OF the committee. strong efiort will
be made to have the bill reported tomorrow. 1t is
feared, however, that the national bank interest in
the large cities so strong TO prevent action
the DILL ut this session.
The Wnshburnc Family i'm the House Dcgcnc-
rating.
Since the exit Of Il. b. Washburnc from the House
the opposition OF the "famiy, TO land grants and
subsidies for railroad schemes has become less
marked. To-day C. 9. washburn, q brother OF T..
B., was the champion OF OF these huge land
grants for railroad purposes the bare contem-
pation Of which would have thrown T. y.
into q paroxysm OF virtuous indignation. I,
appears that about thirteen ago Congress made
grant Of land to build railroad from the 81. Croix
river in Wisconsin, TO Lake Superior, with the
restriction that the road should be built in n certain
number OF years. The road was not but In the
time specified, and a new extension was granted.
That has now expired and there Is appearance OF
q railroad, and G. c. washburn modestly asks for
another extension OF seven years. The section OF
the state where the land s is OF the best timber
lands In the country, and IL appears that washburn's
railroad company has been engaged In cutting and
selling the timber for their own private use Ben
Butler, Judge Kelley and others made such q fierce
attack upon the bill and washburn met It with 70
lIlc nUiy tuat tnc House sent IL 10 the COnnittce
Public Lands, which defeats 1t for this session.
Mntilated Currency Receivable for Internal
Revenue Taxes.
In reference to the matter Of mutlated and re-
paired national currency being received for internal
taxes, where part OF the note is missing,
the Commissioner Of Internal Revenue expresses the
opinion that collectors must take them, ana the
Comptroller Of the Currency also thinks the depart
ment In legally bound to take them OF the
hcposItaries; but the Secretary Of the Treas
ury has not yet decided TO modify the
order to the Assistant freasurers In regard to
throwing them out it IS believed, however, that
upon further consideration the Secretary VIII order
the ireasurers TO receive them In order TO produce
harmony IN the accounts of collectors and deposi-
faries which Is now utterly impossible.
