WARRINGTON, July 7.-The Senate amend
ments to the Tax bill were, on motion of Gene
raj Schenck, referred to-day to the Committee
of Ways aud Mean The committee will meet
this afternoon for the purpose of considering
the amendments. 1t is thought they will agree
to the majority of the amendments made by the
Senate, or at least the important ones. The
amendments about the income tax, the ship
ment of imported goods in bond, and several
others of similar character, will be accepted 1t
is the intention of General Schenck to report
the bill tomorrow.
Funding the Debt.
The committee of conference On the Funding
bill has now been appointed by both houses, and
will meet to-day. The feeling in favor of uniform
four per cent. bonds seems to be growing among
Senators and members, though Secretary Bout
well is still opposing it with all his might. The
contest in the conference committee will be on
this feature of the bill. The Secretary is very
anxious to have some amendment added COM
pelling the national banks to exchange their six
per cents for the new bonds, but this is gene
rally regarded as out of the question now.
The Pat. Woods Case.
The case of Pat. Woods, charged with as
saulting Congressman Porter, of Virginia. was
taken up this morning, and Mr.. Bingham made
a long speech on the Importance of making an
example of Woods. The House, by one majo-
rity, refused to adopt the resolution of Butler to
imprison Woods until the end of the present
Congress. The report of the majority of the
committee, to imprson him for three months
was then adopted. The Democrats voted solid
in favor OF Woods being sent to Richmond to
await the action of the criminal courts for the
offense. Woods was taken in charge by the
Sergeant-at-Arms, and will be confined in the
District Jail.
