| so remove all inequalities in the matter.
| The pending bill would not cost over SD
| 100000. If the Republican party had been
half as careful 10 pay the debt the Govern
ment owed to the soldiers; as it was to pay
the debt due to foreign bond-ho,ders, the
party would not be in the minority to-day
Messrs. Hawley, of Connecticut, Kellogg,
Willard and others opposed the bill Oh the
ground that the soldiers would reap little
or no benefit from Its passage, having al
ready been paid bOunties by their States.
Mr.. Myers moved to amend by making
the bill apply also to sailors and marines.
Mr.. Gunckle allowed the amendment to
be offered, but said it would add Sl0.OOO,OOO
to the cost OF the bill.
Mr.. Niblack trusted the bill would pass
in some shape.
Messrs. Comingo and Parker advocated
the amendment, which would make the
bin apply to the eleven Missouri regiments
mustered into service, and who served
three years as home guards.
Mr.. Gunckle assured them the bill al
ready covered that case.
Mr.. SaYler took the same view, and in
response to the argument Of Mr. willard,
remarked that this was bill for equalizlng
bOunties to soldiers, and not for equalizing
expenses Of the States.
Mr.. COmingo's amendment was admitted
and agreed to, that the act should extend
to all soldiers mustered into the service OF
the United States and subsisted and paid
by the United States.
Mr.. Dawes spoke in opposition to the
bill, and asked gentlemen, however kindly
they might feel towards the soldiers, 20
look to the honor and faith Of the nation,
and not adjourn till provision was made to
meet the obligations of the government,
and not prefer to such a measure, a bill
that would take so large an amount out Of
the Treasury.
Mr.. COburn argued in support Of the
bill, and approved Of the position taken by
his colleague (Alr. Sayler), that it was not
a bill to reimburse the States, but to equal
ize bounties.
Mr.. Speer also advocated the bill, and
said it would not take out Of the Treasury
more than the Hennepin canal bill and the
ChOclaw claim, which were sup
ported BY the chairmen Of the committees
Of Ways and Mears and of Appropria-
tiOns.
Mr.. Dunnell also advocated the bill as
one that would close up the national &C
count with the soldiers of the country.
Mr.. Gunckel remarked that Mr.. ShaUk's
bill, like this one, had excepted local
bOunties, and yet every New England MEM
Der had voted for it.
The debate closed and the House pro-
ceeded to vote on the bill and amendments. |
Comingo's and Myers amendments were
agreed to; also an amendment Offered BY
Mr.. Shanks, to include Indians. The bill |
then passed, yeas III, nays 80.
SIR. Lawrence from the Committee on
War Claims, reported the bill TO pay the |
claims allowed by Commissioners Of !
Claims, and moved the previous question |
on its passage, but pending the vote and |

of a dozen members to be recognized, the |
House, at o'clock, adjourned.

COMBINATION NEWSPAPER WRAP
nERE

A proposition has been laid before the
Postmaster General, which is Of especial
interest TO publishers. L IS that the lie
par, ment should issue a sort Of combined
newspaper wrapper and postal card, so
that publishers may write something
concerning the papers enclosed, on
newspapers, if they desiree. The cCn-
venience Of this arrangement is sp-
parent. Newspapers aud letters, posted
on the same day, never reach their destine-
tiOn simultaneously, and in the meanwhile
the letter may be mislaid, OF lost, or filed
away 50 carefully as 10 cause some trouble
in producing it again. By the time tae
paper arrives the letter referring 10 it is in
many cases forgotten, so that the publisher
is subjected to a loss in various ways.
The saving Of time, labor and an
nOyance which the combination wrapper
is destined to accomplish viii be aPpre-
ciated not only by merchants and neWspa-
per men, but BY the Department itself,
which viii then be under the necessity Of
handling but one article instead Of two, IS
nov. It is proposed to sell the cOmbina-
tiOn wrapper for two cents, which, if
would make it more profitable for
the Government % sell one Of the wrap
pers than to sell postal card and a one
cent wrapper separately.

HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Feb. I3.-The bill to
provide for the relief Of certain lOval cred
itOrs, whose moneys were cOnfscated by
the Confederate Congress, pending a vote
on which the House adjourned yesterday,
was defeated by vote of l43 to A.
Mr.. Cessna introduced q bill amendatOry
Of the act for .adjudicating the Alabama
claims. 1t contains a provision making it
the DUTY Of the court TO receive and exam
inc all claims that may be presented to it
within three months from the passage Of
this bill, resulting from damage caused by
the Shenandoah previous to her departure
from Melbourne, and by other sO-called in
suTgent cruisers. Referred.
The bill making compensation for sup
plies taken by Union soldiers during Nor
gan's raid was considered aud defeated, al
ter which the House went into committee
Of the whole for the purpose Of taking up
the pension and military academy apprO-
priation bills. After the passage Of these
bills, the bill for the equalization Of bOun-
ties was taken up by a vote Of 90 TO IS.
The bill provides for the payment 10 every
non-cJmmiSsiOned officer, musician, wag-
Oner ana private soldier, including those
borne on the rolls as slaves, who served in
the army and was hOnOrably discharged,
s. 33 d month for the term Of his service
between the 12tb Of April, 1861, and the
9Th Of May, 1866, with tie deduction Of all
bounties heretofore paid by the United
States and the States. Substitutes or those
who were prisoners Of war at the time Of
enlistment, are excluded; also, such as were
discharged as minors, or at their own re-
quest from other cause than disability in
Cured in the service prior to the 18th Of
April, 1866, unless such discharge was OBJ
tanned with the view to re-euliStment or
to accept promotion in the military or naval
service. Where the soldier is dead. the
bounty is to be paid to his widow, if not
remarked, or to his minor child OF -hil-
dren.
g Mr.. Gunckel made a statement as to the
bill, prefaciDg 1t with the reading Of the
planks in both the Republican and Demo
cratic platforms, piedaing those parties TO
do Justice % the soldiers. The Republican
party, he said, had performed all its pledges
but two, the passage Of the iyil Rights
bill, and the House had done It, and the
bill 10 equalize bOUnties. As the Govern
meEt had already paid S4O0000OOO in
bOuutios, why should it not pay the few
millions more which this bill required, and
