The Everlasting Funding and Army
BiIIs-An Outraged Fenian Wants
Few Damages.
WASHINGTON, April4.-The Ways and Means
Committee intend to proceed to the final con-
sideration of the Funding bill at meeting
to-day. They are now in possession Of the
views Of the National Bank men, in opposi-
ton, and of Boutwell,. who strongly fayors the
bill. 1t is we'll understood there is wide
difference Of opinion among the committee.
The arguments of the Bank men impress some
members very favorably. while Others receive
the statements as actuated only by selfish mo-
tives. The part Of the bill regarded Ms allowing
contraction by funding greepbacks into per
cent. loan will, it is thought, be stricken out.
1t is understood that the Secretary never
asked for it. There will be great struggle
in the committee. and will be on the clause
recurring banks to take the new bonds pro-
vided in the Funding bill. 1t is believed that
a majority of the Committee win favor it.
The committee will recommend that in theTax
bill banks be relieved Of portion Of the Gov
eminent tax now imposed.
Gen. Banks will present to the House to-
dag petition from John Warren for damages
against Great Britain to the amount Of $780,
600. because he was arrested and tried as a
Fenian conspirator contrary to the laws for
such cases made and provided. Warren was
arrested, tried and convicted as British sub
ject, although he proved himself TO be a nat
uralized American. The charges against him
we're based merelyiupon words spoken and
acts committed in America, for which he con-
tended he could not be tried in Great Britain.
He declared he committed no overt act in
Great Britain or Ireland, and that if he had
done so he was entitled to be tried by mixed
Jury. II Is not known what action will be
taken in regard to the matter.
The Georgia bill viii come up in the Senate
to-day. 1t is the intention to push the con-
sideration ofthe bill to a decision without the
Intervention of orders. There is not much
hope of a final decision before next Saturday,
The opponents of Bingham's amendment
claim twelve majority positively for the bill
without the amendment.
The Senate Military Committee will to-day
consider Logan's Army bill. and report it as
soon as practicable to the Senate, with recon-
mendations and amendments. The PROPOSE
lions of Senator Wilson will make a much
larger reduction in the expense of the army,
as at present organized, than Gen. Logan's
bill. The House Committee will adhere to
their bill, and the subject will probably be
discussed in the Senate at great length,

increased to three feet por day. The rise CON
tinues at Cairo aud st. Louis, and the Mis-
souri, continues 10 pour out her food. with
every indieaEon that the stream will be full
10 Overaowing for several days and perhaps
weeks. The rise in the Ohio has been checked
at Louisville and Cincinnati. where that
stream is now falling, but there is an enor-
nous rise coming down from the head waters
Of the Allegheny and MOnOngahela that will
again send the Ohio out Of its banks at points
below Evansville. Yesterday there was 25
feet in the canal at Louisville. and o feet
over the falls, while there was As in the chan
nel at Cincinnati with a decline Of IS inches
there during the a hours ending at dark last
night. This decline will be but temporary I;
but yet the rise reported coming from above
Pittsburg may not swell the river to the point
il has just reached at Cincinnati; still 1t will
be sufficient 10 keep the Mississippi up. and
the rise nov coming down that stream will
undoubtedly cause an overflow. and We fear a
serious one, below. We would again, there
fore. call the attention Of our readers down
the river TO this fact, that they may prepare
for il in time. The Arkansas continues 10
fall slowly. and some Of the boats in that
stream find double tripping necessary TO reach
Little Rock. while navigation above there is
closed to all except the very lightest draueht

pected daily.
