FINANCIAL BILLS

FINANCIAL BILLS.
There is not very good prospect that
there will be any financial legislation Of
any considerable importance before the
end of the session on tire 18th. The
bill to increase the volume Of bank note
circulation fifty millions and to redis'
tribute twenty-five millions of bank note
currency was before the Senate commit.
tee of Conference to-day, and no result
was attained. Another effort will be
made, but it is doubtful if more than
the proposed redistribution is saved
from the bill, and that feature the
House has already repudiated. 1t
seems quite impossible to agree upon a
bill that will suit the cOntractionists OF
the Senate and at the same time prove
acceptable to the exransionists Of the
House The funding bill which passed
the Senate on March II, and the sub
stitute for the same which passed the
House on July !, were to-day commit
ted to a Conference committee, which is
Mr.. Boutwell's last hope for measure
which will enable him to fund two hun
dred and fifty millions of the public
debt before the next session of Congress.
CHINESE LABOR,
The opponents of Chinese labor are
not satisfied with the action of the
Senate yesterday in depriving that race
of the benefit of naturalization, but
desire that Congress shall 60 further,
and pass q bill to prohibit contracts for
servile labor. An effort in the latter
direction will be made in the House
during the present week, and both par
ties seem inclined to legislation to that
end. The debate in the Senate yester-
day on this question tended to ridicule
the representations made in certain
quarters that Chinese laborcrs were
about to flood the country
INDIANS.
A proposition to remove all the Cher
okee Indians in North Carolina TO the
Cherokee Indian lands west of the Mis-
sissippi river, and to pay them Sj3
apiece and six per cent. interest since
lS49, the date Of treaty, has been
brought forward i'll the Senate and its
passage will be urged. To-day another
delegation Of Indians arrived here and
called on their Great Father at the In
dian office They are the Yankton
Sioux, and came from the northern
pert of Dakota, and are by far a better
looking set than Red Cloud and staff,

BEECHER ~ BAD COMPANY.
Parties returning from Woodstock
state that Beechcr was, for the first
time in his life, under the influence Of
liquorwhen he made yesterdays speech.
This accounts for his uncalled-for re-
marks on Mcclellan. Members OF his
congregation are willing to endure this
first oiFense, because he happened to
spend the Fourth in company with
Grant and Butler.
