There are three bills pending in Congress
for the distribution of the Alabama award.

to SIS 900, OG0 Senator Edmunds's bill
creates a special commission Of five judges,
aud bars all claims Of insurance companies,
unle~- they can prove that, during the re
beilion, the sum 0Etheir losses on war-risks
exceeded the sum of their premiums; in
which case an allowance may be made for
the excess. Mr. Poland's bill puts the
business into the hands of Circuit Court,
to be selected by the President. to which
the United States is to be admitted as one
of the general claimants. In case Of the dis
allowance of any claim exceeding $1,000.
the claimant may appeal to the Supreme
Court. General Buffers bill lays down
the law OF the case first, and then
leaves il 10 the courts to hear
the evidence and apply the principles.
General Butler allows any one to go into
any Circuit Court and make his claim, and
under his bill the underwriters stand in the
same position as under Mr.. Edmunds's,
while any one who paid extra war pre-
miums, on account of Alabama risks during
the war. may recover them. Butler bill
only admits the United States as claimant
for actual losses. There is fourth plan,
which consists in the United States keeping
the money, and not distributing il at all

SENATE.
~ AA-N "A L.
W AsHINGrON, Jan. Is.


Mr.. Frelinghuysen On. j. addressed the
Senate on the resolution by the finance com
mittee. lie opposed further imitation and
favored the resumption of specie payment,
of which he thought the earliest practicable
period for returning to had passed. We
should have commenced long ago. Making
United States notes legal tenders was only
an exercise Of the war power, but the time
had now come when the exercise of that
power should cease, and an earnest effort
should be made to keep the solemn pledge
of the nation. In conclusion he said
he presented bill to secure the
resumption Of specie payments and
it was referred to the committee on
finance. 1t authorizes the secretary of the
treasury to issue two hundred and twenty
five million of dollars Of six per cent ten
forty bonds, to be disposed Of from time 70
time, for the purpose of purchasing two
hundred millions of dollars Of gold coin
with which 10 redeem the legal tender
notes, and it shall be in the discretion of
the secretary Of the treasury, 50 soon as
he shall deem it expedient. with sach
amount of gold as for the time being he
may have procured, to commence and CON
tinue the redemption of the legal tenders
When redeemed they are not TO be reissuei
except in exchange for gold coin at par
When 50 reissued they shall be releemable
in gold coin. but the aggregate of legal
tenders outstanding and redeemed shall at
no time exceed three hundred and
ffty-six million dollars The bill
further provides that if after commene-
ing said redemption the government
shall be unable 10 redeem a part Of said
legal tenders in gold, the secretary of the
treasury may redeem them by exchang-
ing bonds at par for them.
After Mr.. trelinghuysen's speech a
message was received from the house. an
nouncing tho adoption of resolutions of
respect TO the memory of james Brooks of
New York, and Wilder u. Foster of Michi-
gan. Mr.. fenton addressed the Senate on
the life and character of Mr.. Brooks. and
Mr.. Ferry Mich delivered enlogy on
Mr.. Foster after which the usual resoln-
lions of regret and respect We're adopted
and the Senate adjourned

The House took up the Senate substitute
for the bill in relation to salaries. Hale
(Me J said that in order to bring the House
to vote on the bill without further COIN
plications he would move that the House
concur in the Senate substitute and on that
he moved the previous question. After
some debate, the previous question was
seconded, les TO 81. and the substitute was

Mr.. Cushing for Chief Justice.

Id the withdrawal Of Mr.. Williams, by
the President, brought feeling of general
relief, A. it plainly did, throughout the
Country, the appointment ofCaleb Cushing
must have largely restored the dis4uiet.
We cannot consider it fortunate solution
OF the problem Mr.. Cushing is a learned,
able and accomplished lawyer; but there
are very serious objections to him. Though
vigorous and well-preserved, he is seventy
three or four years old. and has thus already
passed the aye at which justices Of the
Supreme Court may retire on full pay. Ii is
charge ed against him that though he voted
tor Grant last fall, he was before that
States Rights Democrat. and that he has been
wholly wanting in sympathy with the re
construction measures and the later con-
stitutional amendments 1t is a significant
laet that Massachusetts, where he is best
known, has always diStrusted him, and re-
fused to honor him with the higher places
in her gift. Able as an advocate. he has been
charged with wanting the power of com
pretending moral distinctions. He may
be good man for difficult diplomatic
Vice. and he has qualifications which
peculiarly fitted him for the Spanish
mission: hat the Chief usticeship is another
matter 4 Washington despatch says that
the nomination was received with disgust
by the supreme Court justices members
of the bar declared that Cushing was in
tere>ted now in a third Of the cases that
would come before him for argument; and
il IL said that almost any one of those named
by gossip for the position would have been
IN ore acceptable to leading Republican
Senators. Mr.. Cushing, it i, said, was
more surprised. ii possible, than the
Senators at his nomination. lie had been
continuing his preparations to leave for
Spain, and was not even indirectly consult
cd ia regard to the nomination The i'm
preston prevails at Washington that Mr..
Cushing will he confirmed hut il is by no
means clear that that will be the case.

The CoLLEcrioN oF INTERNAL RkvFNuL.
Senator Morrill, of Vermont, from the
Finance Committee reported adversely on
Mr.. Summers resolution proposing the
abolition Of the Office Of Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue, and the collection OF
taxes by stamps lie said to abolish the In
ternal Revenue Bureau would be to lose
half the taxea The principal tax revenues
were collected from spirits and tobacco, and
these could not be collected by means Of
stamps. When the millennium arrived it
might be possible to collect taxes without
tax officers. The matter was Indefinitely
postponed.
