MR.. COLFAX'S ACTION
Gov. BoutwelPs numerous friends here are
surprised this morning by an announcement in
the Chronicle that efforts are now beinu made
to secure the republican nomination of vice
president for the secretary of the treasury. II
is stated that such n step meets with the apprc-
baton Of the president, and the names Of Grant
and Boutwell, at the head of the republican
ticket will, 1t is thought, secure favorable opiu-
ions in the eastern and western STATES. This is
the programme, if the Chronicle is correct.

morning, from which it appears that he is not
aYerSe TO having his name used again in rom
nccron with this high office, will not Interfere
with theiplan laid out. The report further saws
that Speaker Blaine, who until recently was
thought to be prominent and probably sue
cesSlul asplrant, stands very little chance of be-
ing brought forward. The reasons, it is ALLEGED,
which secured this change are owing to the fact
of his having diSpleased the state of Pennsyl.

ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE DAILY SPY. ]

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. s. 1872,
THE INCOME TAX.
The house to-day voted squarely in favor Of
continuing the income tax until it expires by
limitation. The vote had no party significance,
as both sides were divided upon it.
SENATOR HARLAN.
A private dispatch was received at the capital,
to-day, indicating that Mr.. Allison will be elect
cd to supersede Mr.. Harlan in the senate, on the
first ballot, by a large majority.
sCHURz.
Mr.. Schurz paid his respects to the New York
Times, in the senate, today, and characterized
statements made in recent editorial of that
paper, rejecting upon himself, as utterly with
out foundation. In conclusion, he remarked
that this was the last time he ever should rise
to personal explanation concerning newspaper
attacks.
WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION.
bill was referred to the educational COM
mittee today, which has novel nature. 1t
provides that all the proceeds of the sales of
public lands hereafter realized shall be set apart
Tor educational purposes and divided among the
several states according to the ratio of popula-
ton, who will apply the same exclusively to
this purpose.
AMNESTY.
The amnesty bill was postponed, in order to
give Mr.. Fenton an opportunity to explain his
bill, to reform custom houses, which was intro
duced last session. Mr., Sumner row positively
refuses to withdraw his equal rights amendment
from the amnesty bill, which not only will again
open up debate on the bill, but will make its
final passage doubtful
DAY OF SENSATIONS.
Many things were promised in the house to-
day, in the way Of sensational resolutions OF
inquiry, which were not fulfilled; but there
were enough for one day. Sunset Cox satisfied
his conscience with a resolution providing for a
recognition Of the belligcrent right Of Cubans
and followed it with proposal for an inquiry
into the interference of federal officials in Luuisi
ana politics, the latter being objected to-
MIR. Morgan, of Ohio, moved to suspend the

Forty.second Congressional Session.
WAsHINGToN, d. c., Jan. s.
SENATE


SENATE.
Only ten senator's were present at PRAYERS, but
Others came in, and before the journal of the
last days proceedings had been read there was
a quorum.
Mr.. Schurz had read an attack ON him which
recently appeared in the New York papers,
which he proceeded to review in eloquent and
forcible words. His account of his labors in the
republican cause was listened 70 til much in
terest, and he showed that a political speaker is
fairly entitled TO be paid for his services. He
denied ever having asked Mr.. Lincoln for a ma
or generals commission, and was very severe
in his condemnation of the newspapers attack
on him.
Gov. Fenton took the floor at one O'Clock and
began an argument in support of his bill, which
gives regular fixed salaries in lieu of the COM
pensatiOn, moietcs and perquiSites, of whatever
name or nature, and commissions on disburse-
ments now paid to and received by collectors,
naval officers, surveyors and other officers
and employees connected with the collectors de-
partment in the various ports in the Uni ed
States. The proposed salaries for the port of
Boston are: Collector, $4,000 per annum, naval
officer $4,000 and surveyor $4,000 The salaries
OF the assistant deputies, clerks, inspectors and
other officers are to fixed by the secretary of the
treasury. There is to be an appraiser appointed
by the president and confirmed by the senate,
whose salary shall be the same as that of the
deputy collector, and such assistant appraisers,
examiners clerks, verhers samplers, openers
and packers shall be appointed as may, in the
opinion Of the secretary, be needed Tor the
proper performance Of the business of apprase-
ment at each of said ports at salaries to be fixed
ny him. The secretary of the treasury, in grant
ing permits to establish general order ware
houses, shall require such warehouse or ware
housee to be loca;ed contiguous to or as near
as may be TO the landing places of steamers and
vessels from foreign ports, and no officer OF the
customs shall have any personal ownership
Of or interest in any bonded warehouse. Or gen.
eral order store
Mr.. Fenton pointed ont, as the most noticeable
feature oil the present customs system, the enor-
nous emoluments Of collectors, naval officers
and surveyors. and the peculiar and perniclous
practice by which they are obtained The re-
ceipts OF the principal officers at New York
