PR. Boutwn17's New Funding Bill.
Secretary Boutwell, has prepared fund
ing bill, which he submitted to the Senate
Finance Committee yesterday, but on
learning from members that the committee
would not probably consider it for week
or ten days, he Withdrew the bill.
The features Of the bill are based upon
suggestions in the Sccrctary's nualreport
in which. assuming that the proposed loan
will not exceed $1,000, Geo. 600. he divides this
,iirn into three parts. Of 1900, C00,000 each.
PAYABLE respectively in i. 20, %, and 80

Senator Wilson and other friends OF
Judge Hoar called upon the President to-
day and assured the latter that the opposi-

from a southern State, and that to prevent
rejection the friends Of Hoar il the Senate
We're compelled to suggest Laying the nOml-
nation on the table.
The President said lie was very much
disappointed, but did not indicate what he
would do about it.
1t is understood Tonight that Uoar re-
quests his name TO be withdrawn, and thai!
his friends insist on his remaining in the
Cabinet but the general verdict is that the
decided and nearly unanimous sentiment
expressed against him in The Senate eSecll-
