GEoRo1A.-The vesxEedi condition Of the
Georgia question, which has beenp pending
ever since the first dayrOfl the session, Wal
disposed of,by the Senate Friday, by EeteI
renee to o Conference Committee, The
Cincinnati EH4htref' . correspond lent thinks
this insures' the passage Of sotne kind OF
EBill Of admissions The GonImaciaPs cor
respondent, on the contrary, thinks there
Is little hope that any definite action "
Congress will be taken this session on the
admission Of the State. The action Of The
Senate Is regarded .bylsome as the death
Of the Georgia bill i. seems probable
that the Senate Conference COMMITTEES
| viii be headed by Mr.. Trumbull, and that
Mr.. Thurman will be the Democratic
member of the, Committee, If General
Butler heads the House Committee, which
He Is likely to do, there can be little hops
that any agreement will be reached. No
less than four different bills have passed
one House or the other on the admission
Of Georgia since December 8, 1869. hi
THE PRussIAN Mission. lin addition
tn the fact that the President has offered
the Prussian mission to at least two per
sons, lie stated Friday that he intended, as
soon Us he could find q proper person, to
nominate successor to MIR. Bancroft
Gen. Grant thought Mr.. Bancroft had no
particular claim upon this administration,
lie having been appointed by Andrew

on the removal Of political disabilities

bill removing the disabilities of about
1900 KentuCkians! The Senate finally
yielded TO Mr.. McCreery's personal ap.
peals and passed tho bill. ''t..d ~
EXECUTIVE SESSION, -Thereis d strong
probability that the President will issue q
proclamation converting the Senate on, the

n The Army BnL-Atter consulting
With d number of Senators, 1Tr. Wilson
las decided to take his Army. Din and
strike out the sections reducing the pay Of
Sherman and Sheridan, also, tie sections
abolishing military storekeeper and breyet
rank, and then attempt to attach 1t as an
amendment TO the Army Appropriation
bill. There will be stout opposition to
this in the House, and 1t Is uncertain
whether it can pass, g ava as..ait!
TIE FUNDING BrLI.-The Conference
Committee on the Funding bill met Fri
day morping and went over the principal
grounds Of difference between the two
houses. At the opening, Of the session
there was little disposition to yield on
either side. The main difficulty was over
the rate Of interest and the question Of
agencies to negotiate the loan, though the
House would probably give way on the
latter If itcould obtain It's rate Of interest,"
which Is four per cent. Boutwell,, who
was present, made o strong statement, to
the effect that 1t would be impossible for
him to fund at o less rate than four and
one-hnlf. Sherman followed, and said
that he did not feel disposed TO insist as
strenuously upon the time Of the bond as
on the rate, and II there could be a com.
promise upon 4 !, as between the three
Senate rates OF 4, Al and-6, he might be
disposed TO agree to tho time propoSediby
the House, Schenck commended for 4 per
GENT, and said there seemed 10 be great
doubt among Senators whether per
cent loan could be negotiated. He had
received such propositions and assurances
as he thought would convince them that
it could be- effected, and he briefly
set forth their character, His, remarks
had quite an effect, and the con-
ference adjourned to give SChenck o.
chance to get these papers, He argued
that II would be better to wait ten years
and then fund at four per cent, paying
six per cent. In the meantime, than to ne
gotiate nowat,fv per cent, or It would
be better 10 wait seven years and half
and fund at four, paying the present rate
on the debt meantime, than to fund now
at four dfld half Ifthc House can SCI
cure q concession Of It's rate 1t will proba-
bly, yield the other points. Members on
the part Of the Senate maintain that the
rate Is too low to secure successful 'nego.
tiation Of the bond. They have no doubt
the bonds may be taken by foreign bond
holders, but scarcely. any Of them will be
taken by, our own people, and that unless
the rate Of interest q increased the new
bond can not be made popular, or be sue
Sessfully put upon tho Market 9 In this
view they arc sustained by Secretary
Boutwell,
At subsequent meeting this afternoon
the indications were that Il an agreement
was reached it would be ona basis Of four
and o half, and q modification concerning
tho means Of negotiating the loan. H..
