BILL.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Secretary Boutwell,
was before the Ways and Means Committee this morn
Ing urging the passage Of bill permitting the exchange
at the Treasury Of registered for coupon bonds The
Committee agreed TO the BILL and IT reported to the
House and passed after hours debate. Mr.. Dawes
explained tbeupose Of the bill 10 be TO make the Gov
eminent securities easily negotiable and that
everything that facilitates exchange contributes 70
prosperity
Committee while he belonged to II, had refused TO rec
ornuend such q measure because they believed 1t would
facilitate SPECULATION Another objection was urged py
Nessrs Cox and Holman who thought IT dangerous iur
ther to aggrandze the power Of the Secretary OF inc
Treasury by giving him unrestricted authority 10 e1-
change one class bonds for another and 70 PRINT ana
keep on hand large quantities Of bonds ready for e1-
change These objections had little weight with the
House and on call OF the Yeas and Nays there we're
only % votes against the bill
The Committee OF Ways and Means, having hsVenou "
the arguments Of Secretary Boutwell, In favor Oh OIL

TIE SOLDIERS HOMESTEAD FARCE.
AN OLD LEGISLATIVE DODGE PLAYED ONCE
MORE IN THE HOUSE.
fBY TELEGRAPH TO TaE rRlBUxEI

a
WASHINGTON, Dec 12-The Soldiers Home
stead hill reported from the House Military Committee
again the subject OF tedious discussion to-day. The
temper OF the House obviously hostile to IL, but
large number members feared 20 the record az
in any opposing measure that pretended TO be for
benefit Of soldiers however goundess the pretense
might be in their judgment and so motion 20 reconnit
was lost on a call Of the Yeas and Nays. Mr. Holman
Mt once offered substitute bill OF very different Inn
port which, IL it should become q law, would
prove OF some small advantage to the sol
dicrs, although It would be destructive to
the entire Homestead system. His substitute
gives to every soldier sailor who served in the late
war and was honorably discharged or the widow Of
any such soldier sailor tie minor children If the
widow be dead the t TO enter quarter section of
the public land either person by agents. after such
entry patent is TO be Issued Ia the name OF the
soldier or sailor, who then becomes possessed OF the
land and may dispose Of It will, settlement or
cultivation being required. The bill Of tie Military Com
ntee required actual settlement and provided for the
Issue OF assgEabe certificates, emitting the holder 10
receive patent bat only after years actual resi-
dence had been completed.
II would consequently have been Of value TO the
soldier unless he wanted to take homestead, or could
fnd purchaser who dd. Mr. HOman's substitute was

alntnded was passed Lest soldiers should be de-

Extraordinary Game of Ministerial
Euchre.

Near a late New Jersey camp-meeting, two
clergymen, a Baptist and a Methodist, were walk
ing, when they saw a little girl sitting on Il stone,
who was weeping bitterly. What is the mat
ter, my little girl ?" asked the Baptist kindly.
9 My-my father was KILLED on the railroad
a few days ago, and has just been buried, sir
and my mother is sick-a-bed and can't work, and
we haven't nothing to eat and don't know what
to do" sobbed the little girl, crying as if her
heart would break.
"a truly lamentable case l do indeed pity
you said the Baptist, frigidly, as if he were
plying some ice-cream he could not eat.
"HOw much do you pity her, Brother c.? |
pity her five dollars yelled the Methodist, as he
threw a V into the little girls lap.
a. double your pile, Bro. p" the Baptist
brother said, as he slowly placed i'll y over the v.
al 90 you one better, . the Methodist bawled
as he put ten on the other money.
81 cover your stake, Bro. p" and the Baptist
clergyman's expression showed he was getting
excited, as a twenty from his purse was put on
the rapidly increasing pile.
iii top the spoons with fifty" hOwled Bro.
p, as he drew out his last note and placed the
sum with the others, glaring savagely at his
companion.
Here's a hundred dollar note, little girl, y
said the Baptist, quite blandly, now that he had
got ahead of his Methodist rOther-in-the-LOrd
= you had better rake in the spoils, for you've
: cleaned out and euchred both my friend and
myself, and left us dead brOke.'"
Then they walked off humminga hymn. Now
what we would like to know is, what did those
clergymen do before they were converted?
