WASHINGTON.
The Murphy Fight
WASHINGTON, July S.-Ihe opposinon TO
Murphy for Collector OF the port OF New
York among the supporters OF the Fresl-
dent that have no interest IN the tenton
asnect of the fight. is giving way under the
conviction, that it is politically unwise to
make FIGHT which would only embitter
the feelings Of both parties But vigorous
opposition is by no means wanting. The
most difficult circumstance which Murphy
will have to meet in the Senate will be
proof of his support of Gov. Hoffman in
1867. If the Senate can be convinced that
this was an overt act of party disloyalty, he
will be rejected; otherwise, he will be con-
firmed. Opinion last night was in his
fsvor.
The Fuss about Funding.
The Joint Committee of Conference on
the Funding bill had long discussion to-
day. The principal disagreement being
the rate of interest. The House Commit
tee insisting on four per cent, and the Sen
ate arguing that there could be no negotia-
ton at that rate. The Senate Committee
want foreign agencies to exhibit letters
from the Secretary of the Treasury favoring
them. They also disagreed as to the gold
clauses of the bill. The committee meet
again at the call of the Chairman. Mr..
Brooks declined to be a member of the
committee on the ground that the minority
of the House ought to be represented; and
Mr.. Marshal was accordingly appointed in
his place.

The Currency Bill,
Which has passed both Houses, provides
for an increase of fifty-four millions of
bank. note currency, retires forty five mil
lions of three per cent. certificates, re-dis-
tributes twenty-five millions from the ex-
cess held by the North and East to the
South and West, and provides for free
banking on q per cent. gold bond. The
bill. it will be noticed, does not initiate the
the volume of currency q dollar. Legal
tender notes will take the place of the
per cents. as the banks reserve, while the
additional bank notes will supply the
place of the legal tenders thus withdrawn,
TO which, however, must be added 20 per
cent. issue of bank notes. In this way the
present equilibrium of the volume of cur
rency is preserved, being neither con-
tracted nor expanded According to q
statement prepared at the Treasury, Hi
nois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Louisi-
ana, Wisconsin, Iowa and Kansas will gain
in the Redistribution Of the twenty i've
millions, while Massachusetts, Rhode Is
laud, Connecticut, New York and Penn
sylvania will lose. The bill makes the re-
distribution gradual, and on the basis of
the new census.
Reasons for the Removal of Motley.
There is good reason to believe that a
name will be sent to the Senate before its
adjournment next week, as successor to
Minister Motley at the Court of st. James.
There is a strong pressure to induce the
President to allow Mr.. Motley to remain
unmolested until next winter; but the
President takes the view that as Mr.. Mot
lev so far transgressed his instructions as
to be cen8ured, and has acted In a manner
antagonistic to the well known policy of
the government, it is better to nominate
his successor at once. 1t has not yet been
reported who his successor will be.
Minister BancrOfrs Status all Right
The report that the President and his
Cabinet are dissatisfied with Minister Ban
croft in Berlin is pronounced untrue; on
the contrary, it is well known that the
President and Mr.. Fish are well pleased
with Mr.. Bancroft.
ImprisOnmentO of Woods.
Pat Woods was disposed of yesterday by
the House. and committed by its order to
the common Jail of this city for three
months, for his assault upon Congressman
Porter. Woods did not seem to be much
disturbed by the result. He protests that
be did not know Porter was a member of
Congress when he assaulted him. The
House came within one vote OF committing
Woods till March 4th.
Probability of an Executive Session.
There is a strong probability that the
President will issue a proclamation con-
vening the Senate for extra business on
Monday following the adjournment Of
Congress. The President wishes to avoid
= this if possible, but has been advised TO-
day by Senators that there is not time be-
tween now and the 18th of July to dispose
of the extra business. If an extra session
of the Senate can be avoided, the President
will leave here on next Tuesday or We'd
nesday week, for Long Branch, and will
not make his trip to st. Louis until aftel
he has spent two or three weeks at the sea
shore.
Arctic Discoveries.
The Conference Committee on the bill
making an appropriation of 100000 tc
aid in fitting out the expedition of discOy
cry to the Arctic regions, agreed yesterday
to make the amount S50,O0l. The bil
allows the President to select the command
er of the expedition, and authorizes th'
Secretary of the Navy to detail two vessel
for its use.
Important to National Banks.
The House bill compelling Nationa
Banks going into liquidation to deposl
legal tenders TO the amount Of their out
standing currency, was passed by the Sen
ate yesterday, with an amendment ALLOWING
six months with which to make such de
